The NYC Cocktail Delivery Guide added to Google Docs

The NYC Cocktail Delivery Guide

There’s only one place you can drink right now: your home. And while you could make you own cocktail, the only ingredients you have at your disposal are a wrinkled lime, a few bushels of wilted celery, and a bottle of cheap Prosecco that you’re saving for an emergency.

So here are bars and restaurants offering curbside pick-up and delivery in-house or via apps. Even though you can’t go drink at these places, you can still show your support (and drink something great) by ordering from them. We’ll keep updating this guide with more information - so stay tuned, and stay well.

Got a cocktail bar, restaurant, or tasting room offering curbside service or delivery? Email us at [email protected].

Flooded farmers face growing dilemma in warming world

CRESCENT, Iowa — Frogs, carp and bugs thrived all summer in murky floodwaters where Gene Walter should have planted corn and soybeans. Last year’s ruined crop spilled from metal storage bins that burst nine months ago when the Missouri River surged through two levees near his southwest Iowa farm.

Like many in the water-weary Midwest, Walter doesn’t know if climate change was responsible for the second major flood in nine years. Or the increasingly frequent torrential rains that dump more water in an hour than he used to see in days.

Even so, “we kind of feel like it’s the new normal,” said Walter, who lost 46,000 bushels of corn and soybeans. “You can’t rely on anything. You can’t build anything. You can’t do future planning … the uncertainty is the thing that is really bad.”

This year’s devastating losses are forcing tough decisions about the future of farming in America’s flood plains, even among those skeptical of climate change and humans’ role in it.

Farmers who lost billions of dollars in grain, livestock, equipment, structures and unplanted crops are wondering whether they should — or can — return to the fertile bottomlands next year.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must determine how many damaged levees can be rebuilt but says it won’t be all of them. More than 50 levees were breached on the Missouri River alone, taking thousands of acres out of production.

And with the ground still soggy heading into winter, experts say the stage is set for more flooding next spring.

“A lot of this ground won’t be put back into production,” said Brett Adams, a Peru, Nebraska, farmer who saw 2,000 acres (809 hectares) — 80% of his land — submerged in up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) of water. “I’ve seen it first-hand up and down the river — land is so tore up from flooding that some of it is completely ruined.”

Adams lost over 100,000 bushels of corn and a half-million dollars in potential income after six storage bins burst. But he bristles when people ask why he farms in an area that could flood.

“Because it never flooded before,” Adams tells them, noting that a levee built in 1950 kept his farm dry during major floods in 1993 and 2011.

It’s very difficult to directly tie this year’s flooding — or any single weather event — to climate change. But the flooding comes as “we’re seeing big rain and even bigger snows that are consistent with what we will see in a warming world,” because a warmer atmosphere delivers more water to storm systems, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate monitoring chief Deke Arndt.

The number of heavy rain events has increased throughout much of the U.S., including the Midwest, where the days with at least one inch of rain averaged 13% higher from 2009 to 2018 than the long-term average dating to 1950, according to NOAA.

In Missouri, the number of annual 4-inch (10.2-centimeter) or greater rainfalls was 58% higher than the long-term average. In Iowa, the increase was 31% and in Nebraska it was 23%.

There also will be more severe droughts, experts say, while rains will be more intense, with more water falling in a shorter period. What’s more, the greatest increase in rainfall is occurring in the fall, when farmers are trying to harvest.

The unpredictability “ends up being really bad news for farms,” said Jeffrey S. Dukes, an ecologist who directs the Climate Change Research Center at Purdue University.

Heavy rains and flooding kept farmers from their fields in more than a dozen states this year, the wettest on record through October in the contiguous U.S., and breached levees along major waterways that included the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers.

On the Missouri, the disaster unfolded after a blizzard was followed by heavy rain that fell on the snow and frozen ground. Most of the runoff came from tributaries without levees or dams, so the Army Corps had no way to slow the surge and little time to warn farmers.

“It just completely overwhelmed the levees downstream,” said Matthew Krajewski, chief of the readiness branch in the Corps’ Omaha District.

Experts say heavy rain in 2018 set the stage for the floods because the soil was saturated as winter started.

Now the situation is worse than this time last year because heavy rain fell all summer and into the fall, preventing the soil from drying out, said Kevin Low, a hydrologist at the Missouri Basin River Forecast Center.

“The setup is extremely bad,” he said, noting most levees have not been repaired. “There is nothing we can do but watch and wait.”

Some areas along the Missouri were above flood stage more than 270 consecutive days, according to hydrologist David Pearson at the National Weather Service’s Missouri Basin River Forecast Center.

Julius Schaaf believes it’s the Army Corps’ job to protect farmland like his, though he concedes there is a legitimate question whether farmers should remove structures from flood plains.

“The levees and dams … kind of gave us a false sense of security,” said Schaaf, whose farms near Randolph, Iowa were flooded this year. “We went ahead and made an investment because the government said, ‘We’ve got this river tamed and you folks are good.’”

But the Corps says its priority is to protect people and infrastructure such as highways, railroads and towns — not agricultural land.

The agency is conducting cost-benefit assessments to determine which levees can and should be rebuilt. “There is a good chance” that it won’t be all of them, said the Corps’ Krajewski, noting that funding is limited.

Some farmland along the Missouri could be flooded for years awaiting repairs and would have to be cleared of silt and debris before being planted again.

The decision to abandon farmland is complicated by the fact that catastrophic floods are unpredictable, said Ken Kunkel, a NOAA researcher.

”But it seems to me, like in lot of situations when you’re in a flood plain, expecting to be completely protected by anything probably is unwise and becoming unwiser as time goes on,” Kunkel said.

Some experts say U.S. agriculture policy discourages farmers from adopting practices that could help reduce losses to extreme weather.

Conservation programs that pay farmers to set aside land, including in flood plains, are underfunded, experts say. The taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance program effectively discourages farmers from planting more than a couple of crops and gives them an incentive to plant on risky land because some losses would be recouped.

It’s also easier to obtain loans for certain crops, such as corn, wheat and soybeans in the Midwest, said Ben Lilliston, rural strategies and climate change director at the Minnesota-based Institute for Agriculture & Trade Policy. That makes it difficult for farmers to rotate several crops, which preserves soil health and helps weather floods and drought.

After a crippling year, many farmers will need to return to low-lying fields if they can.

Walter, the Iowa farmer, considered abandoning 750 acres (304 hectares) of bottomlands, but it was a huge chunk of the 1,200 acres (486 hectares) he farms with his son.

So they’ll continue farming it once the levees are repaired, he said.

But farmers need to ask themselves if the risk of farming in flood plains is worth the reward, said Dukes, the Purdue ecologist.

“Is it worth the great yields you might get in great years versus the total loss in other years?” he said. “Do taxpayers want to be subsidizing the losses?”

Breakfast

I tend to eat small meals throughout the day, usually three or even five meals. However, I always start my day with the exact same breakfast: a sixteen ounce cup of oatmeal along with almonds and almond milk. I chose this meal instead of the others because I recently heard that almond trees consume large amounts of water in order to grow, thereby I’ve taken this opportunity to either confirm or refute what I was told. It is also important to note that my family is big on organic foods. This is something that I’ve become deeply conflicted about. Not because it might be unhealthy for my body, but rather because it still operates within the power machine of destroy and profit.

Oats

According to the Canadian government, Canada is the world’s largest oat exporter and supplies about 70% of the oats exported to the U.S. In 2012, the U.S. average oat production was only 76 million bushels, which is small compared to the same years average corn production of 12 billion bushels. The primary states to grow oats are Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin (Canada). The North American Millers’ Association states that oats are good for the environment since they are valuable to sustainable crop rotation systems, which helps ensure soil conservation. They also reduce the needs for herbicides, do not extract as many nutrients from the soil and do not require as much water as other crops do(Oat Sustainability). Perhaps, the U.S. should get more into the oats business instead of hoarding the corn industry. U.S. corn, especially if we want to use it to make tortillas, is a running joke in my family. “Not even our dogs in Mexico would eat their corn.”

Almonds

Almonds are my favorite part of my breakfast and I happily ate a handful in my oatmeal or even alone as a light snack, until my sister told me they were not so great for the environment. Growing almonds requires a large amount of water, specifically one gallon per almond. Now let’s take a look at California, a state that grows 80% of the world’s almonds (Brown). California seems of a bit of a hellish state; it’s constantly in a drought and it catches on fire every year. It’s latest major drought, 2011 to 2015, was the most severe since record keeping history began in 1895 (Chappelle). This did not deter the agriculture industry; 2012-2014 saw record revenues due to soaring nut and dairy prices (Boxall).

This is all very upsetting but I must not get too hasty. I do not believe the answer to this problem is to halt almond growth completely. As Boxall argues, we should look into developing ever advancing water efficiency techniques, dismantle the almond monopoly, and reduce acreage to other crops like wheat and corn. I saw ‘we’ because it is apparent that the California agriculture industry is most interested in maximizing crop production in cheap ways in whatever means possible, never mind the environmental implication this may have.

Almond milk

My family and I started experimenting with different types non-dairy milk after we realized half the family is lactose intolerant. It made more sense for all of us to convert to the alternative. At first we tried soy milk, then rice milk, and finally we all agreed on almond milk. Once again, due to this milk substitute being made of almond, it takes a toll on the environment. 23,000 acres of natural land have been converted into almond farms and the ground in the San Joaquin Valley, where the most almonds are grown, is sinking due to groundwater depletion. In addition, large almond farms use pesticides, which are contaminating the remaining water supplies. The drinking water of California’s farming communities is becoming toxic (Fleischer).

What food then?

It is difficult to find suitable food or substitutes for foods. It seems to be nearly guaranteed that no matter what we purchase someone or something will get hurt. Vegans for example, are able to steer clear of animal cruelty by not purchasing or eating animal based foods. However, many will purchase all other types of foods without realizing or speaking out against the exploitation of undocumented migrant workers. You save the animals but you enslave the workers. The power to change this lies within our hands, does it not?

Benjamin, who is nearly 80 years old, hard at work / This section of the field had a lot of missing leafy greens due to excessive rain. There is a slight dip in that particular part of the field and the water tends to stagnate if storms are continuous, as a consequence plants (but not weeds) die. The trees behind Benjamin have the most delicious blackberries I have ever had the pleasure of eating. No store bought blackberry has ever come close.

Celia tending to the leafy greens / This was taken in a section that had become nearly completely overrun by weeds. The field is big and workers are few; three including myself to be exact. Although at one point in history our boss employed over 50 workers, some of which slept in a small cabin next to the fields. Herbicides had never been used in the ten years that I’ve known of this farm, until this year. Nevertheless, weeds somehow beat us anyway.

Marijuana, mandatory minimums and jury nullification, oh my: split Ninth Circuit affirms panel federal convictions, though remands to address DOJ spending rider

A big, long and split decision by a panel of the Ninth Circuit yesterday in US v. Lynch, No. 10-50219 (9th Cir, Sept. 13, 2018) (available here), prompted the weak "Wizard of Oz" reference in the title of this post. There is so much of interest in Lynch for sentencing fans and others, I cannot cover it all in this post. The majority's introduction provides a sense of the case's coverage:

Charles Lynch ran a marijuana dispensary in Morro Bay, California, in violation of federal law. He was convicted of conspiracy to manufacture, possess, and distribute marijuana, as well as other charges related to his ownership of the dispensary. In this appeal, Lynch contends that the district court made various errors regarding Lynch’s defense of entrapment by estoppel, improperly warned jurors against nullification, and allowed the prosecutors to introduce various evidence tying Lynch to the dispensary’s activities, while excluding allegedly exculpatory evidence offered by Lynch. However, Lynch suffered no wrongful impairment of his entrapment by estoppel defense, the anti-nullification warning was not coercive, and the district court’s evidentiary rulings were correct in light of the purposes for which the evidence was tendered. A remand for resentencing is required, though, on the government’s cross-appeal of the district court’s refusal to apply a five-year mandatory minimum sentence, which unavoidably applies to Lynch.

Following the filing of this appeal and after the submission of the government’s brief, the United States Congress enacted an appropriations provision, which this court has interpreted to prohibit the federal prosecution of persons for activities compliant with state medical marijuana laws. Lynch contends that this provision therefore prohibits the United States from continuing to defend Lynch’s conviction. We need not reach the question of whether the provision operates to annul a properly obtained conviction, however, because a genuine dispute exists as to whether Lynch’s activities were actually legal under California state law. Remand will permit the district court to make findings regarding whether Lynch complied with state law.

Judge Watford dissented from the panel majority in Lynch, and his dissent starts this way:

I would reverse and remand for a new trial. In my view, the district court went too far in trying to dissuade the jury from engaging in nullification. The court’s actions violated Charles Lynch’s constitutional right to trial by jury, and the government can’t show that this error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.

By its very nature, a case of this sort touches a sensitive nerve from a federalism standpoint. At the time of Lynch’s trial in 2008, the citizens of California had legalized the sale and use of marijuana for medicinal purposes; the federal government nonetheless sought to prosecute a California citizen for conduct that arguably was authorized under state law. Because federal law takes precedence under the Supremacy Clause, the government could certainly bring such a prosecution, notwithstanding the resulting intrusion upon state sovereignty interests. See Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1, 29 (2005). But the Framers of the Constitution included two provisions that act as a check on the national government’s exercise of power in this realm: one stating that “[t]he Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury”; the other requiring that “such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed.” U.S. Const., Art. III, § 2, cl. 3. The Sixth Amendment further mandates that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to trial “by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.” Thus, to send Lynch to prison, the government had to persuade a jury composed of his fellow Californians to convict.

One of the fundamental attributes of trial by jury in our legal system is the power of the jury to engage in nullification — to return a verdict of not guilty “in the teeth of both law and facts.” Horning v. District of Columbia, 254 U.S. 135, 138 (1920). The jury’s power to nullify has ancient roots, dating back to pre-colonial England. See Thomas Andrew Green, Verdict According to Conscience: Perspectives on the English Criminal Trial Jury, 1200–1800, at 236–49 (1985) (discussing Bushell’s Case, 124 Eng. Rep. 1006 (C.P. 1670)). It became a well-established fixture of jury trials in colonial America, perhaps most famously in the case of John Peter Zenger, a publisher in New York acquitted of charges of seditious libel. See Albert W. Alschuler & Andrew G. Deiss, A Brief History of the Criminal Jury in the United States, 61 U. Chi. L. Rev. 867, 871–74 (1994). From ratification of the Constitution to the present, the right to trial by jury has been regarded as “essential for preventing miscarriages of justice,” Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U.S. 145, 158 (1968), in part because the jury’s power to nullify allows it to act as “the conscience of the community,” Jeffrey Abramson, We, the Jury: The Jury System and the Ideal of Democracy 87 (1994).
