By GORDIE LITTLE Small Talk
---- — I love music and rivers, but not necessarily in that order. My interest in music spans the spectrum, but I especially love music from the first decades of the last century. As for rivers, I think you know which one I favor. It's the one that zooms by 3 feet from the back of our Morrisonville home.
I have often referred to it as "our beloved Saranac." At times, it is less beloved than others. Take about a week-and-a-half ago, for example. It rained and rained. We sang all the rain songs we could remember and thought about gathering lumber for an ark.
The level rose to flood stage at 9 feet and didn't stop there. We checked the sump pump(s) in our basement many times a day. We watched weather reports and listened as local media preached doom and gloom. We were told that the Cadyville dam was breached or at least damaged. The "official" warning was that we should prepare to evacuate, if necessary.
Soon that tune was tempered by another agency assuring us that the previous report was either bogus or an exaggeration. We stayed put. We've been through this drill before. Mind you, our house on the Saranac was built in the 19th century and is still standing strong. It has endured monstrous ice jams and other natural disasters throughout our tenure here from 1970 to the present.
At more than one point decades ago, we were told that the dam had actually broken and there was a 12- to 16-foot wall of water on its way. We loaded kids and dogs into the car and headed to the radio station where I worked at the time. We walked into the door, and both dogs instantly pooped on the floor to exhibit their distress. I didn't do that, but I was tempted.
Yes, we endured the jams of '81, and we have a T-shirt, the front of which proclaims, "I survived the Morrisonville Flood."
Fast forward to June 2013. We watched and waited and sang a few choruses of the Johnny Cash classic, "Five Feet High and Rising." I looked at Kaye and intoned, "How high's the water, Mama?" She was not at all amused. We both remained awake and alert for at least one night and long into the next day.
Huge blocks of what we call "shot rock" were placed along our eroded river bank in the '90s, and that stabilized barrier has held through every threat including the latest. Old Man River rose this time and flooded at least 100 feet into the woods on the other side. River creatures that live in tunnels beneath our bank were either drowned or displaced.
Roads were closed. Cellars were flooded, and there was grief all around us. We went to church and said our prayers of gratitude. That's what we do.
After it was all over, and things were back down to semi-normal levels, I thought of another song you might never have heard. It's a gem: "River, Stay 'Way from my Door." It's been recorded many times, but dates to 1931 when it was written by Mort Dixon and Harry M. Woods. Woods' biography is amazing. He was born with no fingers on his left hand but became a well-known pianist, singer and songwriter. He was also a real character whose life story reads like fiction.
One of the first recordings of "River" in 1931 was done by another famous singer named Vernon Dalhart, who also sang "The Prisoner's Song" that sold millions. If you don't know about his work, look him up. He recorded more than 1,600 songs.
Also in 1931, a singer named Kate Smith, whom the North Country claims as its own, collaborated with Guy Lombardo to do a marvelous arrangement of the "River" song. It's significant because it is the only recording she ever made with the Royal Canadians.
So, next time the river rises, listen outside your own door, and perhaps you can hear Gordie and Kaye harmonizing on that very song.
Have a great day. Keep the water wings handy and please, drive carefully.
Gordie Little was for many years a well-known radio personality in the North Country and now hosts the "Our Little Corner" television program for Home Town Cable. Anyone with comments for him may send them to the newspaper or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Efforts by the city of Muskogee and its firefighters to maintain a high fire suppression rating deserve applause.
Muskogee received a Class 2 rating on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the best.
Only one of the more than 1,600 fire protection districts in the state received a Class 1 rating.
Muskogee's rating is one of only five in the state and 592 in the nation to receive the Class 2 rating.
Fire protection districts get rated about every 10 years.
Muskogee has held this rating since 2003.
Insurance Service Office ratings are based on these factors:
• 10 percent of the rating is based upon a district's fire alarms, communications and dispatching systems.
• 50 percent is based upon a fire department's staffing, training, equipment and geographic distribution of stations.
• 40 percent of the grade is based upon the district's water supply system, which includes the condition and maintenance of fire hydrants, and the volume and pressure of available water compared with the amount needed for fire suppression.
Muskogee residents and business owners could pay a lower insurance premium based on the rating.
"This is a big deal and fantastic news for the city of Muskogee and those who live and do business here," Fire Chief Derek Tatum said. "The ... rating is the result of years of planning and operations of the city's many people and departments all working together for an ISO rating for its citizens."
The rating proves the hard work of the Fire Department and the city has paid off.
Rating proves hard work pays off
Efforts by the city of Muskogee and its firefighters to maintain a high fire suppression rating deserve applause.

Why I am now boycotting Fel Pro
I recently had the white cloud of death in my truck. Tore it down and found oil leaking up loose bolt threads and a bolt head into my intake manifold. I ordered the full over haul gasket kit for my engine, or so I thought. O'Reilly Auto Parts uses the info provided by manufactures for their website part discriptions. This $100 kit was labled by Fel Pro to fit my truck. It did not. It did not include all the valve seals, did not have the plenum gasket for my two piece intake, performance W code engine, no EGR gasket, and rubber valve cover gaskets an inch too short. The short valve cover gaskets WERE for stock valve covers but they do not make any cork gaskets to fit aftermarket covers. Stock covers have tabs to hold the short gaskets until installed and they conform to the engine. No biggie as I only had to replace one cover gasket so I cut and spliced from the other. Just a note for you in that have to change them in the future. The box said Non-Returnable Once Opened. Seemed I was up the creek. I could not contact Fel Pro. O'Reillys made good on it. After a scathing email. Their Customer Help dept. was able to contact Fel Pro and got the run around. After 4 days of emails biting my tounge holding my temper, O'Reillys found me the parts made of two different kits totalling $75 dollars more than what I paid for. After bluntly telling them in the emails and finally on the phone I was NOT paying for any more parts and taking my business else where they let me exchange the kits at no charge and finally explaining to me that they use manufacturer's info on their site I agreed to continue shopping there but never using Fel Pro labled items again. I know they are owned by a conglomerate using many names for the same products. Under Mr. Gasket I believe, but Fel Pro will not be used by me again.1992 GMC Sonoma GT 4.3

I used Fel Pro on my Ranger and will be tearing it down again this spring to replace the lower intake manifold gasket since it decided that even being brand new, it would like to fail. 5 quarts of oil dumped in my driveway in 20 minutes. Ford sells a better gasket for only about $3 and that's what I'll be getting. I have heard good and bad things about Fel Pro gaskets, but after this last experience, I am not impressed. The rest of the gaskets that I used (head gasket, valve cover, upper intake) all are working flawlessly, but the 3 piece lower is a terrible design that only vaguely resembles the factory gasket.2005 Chevy Silverado W/T

Fel Pro used to be one of the top brand Gasket makers in the U.S., but unfortunately like most other companies they got cheap to make it through lean economic times and started farming production to other countries and using cheaper materials for manufacturing. And like most other companies they'll either get away with it and survive until times get better or they'll die. It's just the way the world works.
Twenty years from now they may be the best on the market again, only time will tell.

JEFFERSON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Dozens showed up to a candlelight vigil Sunday night to remember Donald Hugle.
Hugle, 49, was hit by a car outside of Grumpy's Bar in Jefferson, Friday night.
He was taken to the hospital where he died.
Family and friends say they remember him best for the way he treated others.
"He was the best person anyone would ever want to meet. He had a heart this big. He loved kids, loved everybody. He would do anything for anybody. He never knew an enemy. He had no enemies. All he had was friends," James Pelphrey, a friend of Hugle, said.
Officials with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office say Hugle's death appears to have been an accident, and the driver has not been charged.
Donald Hugle, 49, was hit by a car about 10:00 p.m. Friday outside of Grumpy's in Jefferson.
He was taken to Thomas Memorial Hospital where he later died.
His family is holding a candle light vigil for him Sunday at 7:00 p.m. in the area where he was hit.

On day two of their convention, Democrats finally got some red meat.
We caught up with the conservative columnist, who's been looking rather dapper lately. So why won't his daughter and his mother support his snazzy sartorial choices?
We wondered what exactly we might have to do to get the most coveted floor pass. He laughed and said, "It certainly won't be dancing."
No one, including those who were watching the action, could articulate what last night's protest was about in the first place.
Obama has had a rough August, and he needs this convention to really hit the bull's-eye or he'll be in serious trouble.
The single topic of conversation that seems to consume the attention of a fair number of the 50,000 people here is the search for credentials.
By most accounts, she knocked her speech out of the park.
If you evaluate the Democratic convention as pure spectacle, five things happened on Monday to make its first evening a pretty big success.
Maria Pinto, that's who! That is, if she doesn't change her mind.
'It's been my experience that 90 percent of writers, directors, and actors are basically middle-class people who had talent.'
I'm an Obama delegate for the state of California, having won a somewhat intense election battle of my own to get here.
Do some states party harder than others? Judging from the Friends of New Orleans DNC benefit last night, yes.
'It's like in every nation and every race, you have some people that are born as a prince because of the natural way they are.'
It's safe to say this will probably never, ever end.
Plus, Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan go baby shopping, and Cameron Diaz is totally in love with Jennifer Aniston's ex! That and more in our daily gossip roundup.
Driving around Denver, it's rare to pass a business that isn't trying to capitalize on the sudden swell in population by offering convention specials.
In Denver, a handful of city politicians are still in a New York state of mind.
Seriously. How many headlines are there on this topic today? Can't we just wait 24 hours and find out? What happened to the good old-fashioned element of surprise?
But will this really affect independent voters?

After sitting in jail for more than a year, one teen charged in the robbery and beating death of a Palos township couple could get the chance to go home if a judge rescinds a no-bond order.
A bond hearing has been set for Mohammad Salahat, 18, on Monday in a Bridgeview courtroom with his defense attorney set to argue that a psychological evaluation will show Salahat is non-violent and won't be a danger to anyone if he is released.
Salahat is charged with murder in connection with stabbing and beating death of John and Maria Granat, along with three alleged accomplices: Christopher Wyma, 18; Ehab Qasem, 20; and the couple's son, John Granat, 18.

There's always a time in everyone's life when they reflect on things that they've done in the past, people they knew, and things that shaped them as an individual.
Photograph is worded in a way that MAKES us think about these things.
I listen to it and I see my friends from middle-school, I see events or memories with friends and family within the past few years. I laugh to myself and remember all these things with a giant grin on my face. As a writer, finding the words to try and explain a certain emotional attechment to any kind of memory, is hard.
Nickelback did a good job though, in putting the right emotions into the song, as well as in painting a picture of their OWN memories.
This is a song that says, I know how you feel, and I feel like that too sometimes.
It's a comforting song, and it brings back only the best of memories that I have of my past, which is ultimately what people want right?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of the tear-jerker songs that sort of make you think about things that hurt, and try to make you feel some closure or security in the fact that you're not alone. But a good pick-me-up song, that makes you happy BECAUSE you're thinking about your past is just as good, if not better.
I like thinking about my past and being happy. It's nice to think that any pain you went through, was somewhat balanced with those good memories.
Balance is the key to life in my opinion, and I find it cool that - and members of Nickelback shouldn't take offence to this - people living luxuriously, having all the things they need and more that they want... can see this as well. I always thought that being a celebrity would cloud the average person's mind, which I'm sure in a lot of cases it would, but it's cool to see that the members of Nickelback are still just like us...
They think like us and have felt the same kinds of pain.
But, I'm rambling, I just like the song haha. Thank you Nickelback!

Ancient find in Siberia poses threat to elephants
lundi 27 septembre 2010
IT could be the nearest the world gets to guilt-free ivory.
As the Siberian tundra melts, thousands of dead mammoths are emerging from the slush — with perfectly preserved tusks.
Russians are harvesting about 60 tonnes of ivory from them a year, says a new study. It suggests the amount of mammoth ivory entering the global market now exceeds that from elephants.
The burgeoning trade in woolly mammoth ivory has raised concerns over its effect on elephants. Conservationists fear it could allow illegal elephant ivory to be passed off as coming from mammoths.
Russian entrepreneurs use light aircraft to scour the tundra for mammoth bones.
"Every year from mid-June, when the tundra melts, until mid-September, hundreds of people search the tundra in northern Siberia looking for mammoth tusks," said Esmond Martin, author of the report.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
Mammoths evolved about 4.8 million years ago and roamed the forests and plains that once covered Siberia. They were also found in Africa and North America. In Europe, they were prey for humans, who probably helped to drive them to extinction. The last mammoths are thought to have died out about 3600 years ago.
The Siberian tundra still conceals the frozen remains of an estimated 150 million mammoths, buried at depths of up to 1000m.
Dr Martin carried out the research by Care for the Wild, a conservation charity. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has published his findings in the journal Pachyderm.
Dr Martin said the greatest risk lies in mammoth ivory being exported to Africa, where shipments could be mingled with tusks from elephants.
Mark Jones, of Care for the Wild, said : "The hope must be that this mammoth ivory will reduce demand but it is changing the whole market and we need to monitor it."

Home insurance prices are now featured inside the quotation system built at the Quotes Pros website. All insurer price plans are accessed at http://quotespros.com/home-insurance.html.
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) July 06, 2014
The costs for maintaining repairs for the average home can be difficult for a homeowner to keep up with when an insurance policy is not absorbing the repair expenses. The Quotes Pros company is now giving access to home insurance prices on a national level inside of its public system at http://quotespros.com/home-insurance.html.
American homeowners who are currently without a form of repair protection for any size home can review some of the top policies that are offered. The owner of a property with an existing coverage plan currently seeking rates reviews could also benefit from the inclusion of the home insurance policy prices.
"The resources that we've built for American consumers to access from our search system are now helping hundreds of people daily with answers to top insurance questions," said a QuotesPros.com rep.
The policy pricing that is available for homeowners to review is based on the location of each property. A zip code sorting feature is the method of categorization used by the system to ensure the most affordable prices are delivered to homeowners based on their North American location.
"Some of the most well-known insurance agencies underwriting homeowner plans are found in our system as well as discount rate packages," the rep added.
The Quotes Pros company is now making changes to its national search platform to better support daily use by consumers. Apart from specializing in one form of coverage, different options are entirely viewable by price and zip codes. Annual costs for auto, health and life are also obtainable at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
About QuotesPros.com
The QuotesPros.com company is now featuring a different platform for locating insurance company price quotations this year. The company has networked and connected with top agencies in order to provide the consumer level content now accessible. The QuotesPros.com company has maintained its stance in the U.S. insurer market to provide a valuable source of information on the Internet for consumers. Price searches by zip code and now a large part of the company offerings this year.

During the past few months I have posted about the issues that face the Governor's Council.
During the past four years I have advocated for a more active Governor's Council that creates a public record about each nominee for appointed office.
Throughout this process I have had the cooperation of all parties involved.
The changes that I have initiated and championed have been supported by members of the existing Governor's Council as well as new candidates for office.
Features on my website:
have been copied on the Governor's Council website.
I believe I have shown myself to experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated to the purpose of having the best system for vetting these nominations. I have advocated for openness, transparency and accountability.
I am working to have all information used to vet a nominee that appears before the Governor's Council, readily available to the public via the web. I make recordings of the meetings and the hearings available to all via the web.
I have worked for and support a truly democratic process.
I ask for your support this Thursday, September 6, 2012

What are you drinking right now?
Blue Point Toasted Lager, Affligem, Weihenstefaner, Harpoon Octoberfest, and my regular stand-bys Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Yeungling AND ALWAYS Guinness.
Rockfish Wheat. I'm not usually into wheat beers, but I love this one. It's from a new brewery/hop farm in Virginia. (Disclaimer: I know the owners.)
Today I had a Summit ESB here at home to cap the day and then went out to dinner at Joey Nova's in Tonka Bay, MN and had a Summit Extra Pale Ale. If I am up to it I might finish off the evening with a Bell's Lager of the Lakes I discovered I had left over in my fridge when I was rearranging the ESBs.
Yesterday: Victory Sunrise Weissbier
Today: Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale - I'll be enjoying this while it lasts
On Deck: Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
I haven't heard of the Double Bag before, what brewery is that from?
re: tjason1
re: tjason1
I'm glad to see someone mention 120 Minute IPA. I was in the beer/wine store the other day and someone started a conversation about how much they liked hoppy beers. I mentioned he should try to find the 120 IPA (which this store did not have) the guy about told me I didn't know wht I was talking about because he had just been tot eh brewery and blah blah blah no 120 that he knew of blah blah blah. Some people just hate to have someone know something they don't already know. I ended the conversation by literally saying, "whatever" and walking away.
re: Spiritchaser
120 minute IPA is very sweet and high in alcohol, I am assuming you are refering to Dogfish Head brewing company.... I prefer their 90 minute IPA as it is much more true in character. Probobally the best IPA on the market, although for the price, I'd rather drink a Rock Art, or McNeills IPA. Both much more affordable and with... perhaps... more character.
Rodenbach Grand Cru .................. Wow
re: niquejim
I had Rodenbach Grand Cru for the first time about a month ago. It is a huge beer but did the vinegar tartness bother you a bit? I found it very intense (as I drank it without food). I piece of wild boar and blue cheese might have made the perfect accompaniment for it. Again, just gigantic beer but not in a hoppy bristling DIPA way or an overly rich Imperial stout way. Unique!
re: Chinon00
re: Chinon00
For me, the tartness is what I love most about it. I'm on my 3rd case of this since being introduced to it last summer by my ex-girlfriend's neighbour (I'll forever be grateful!). There is nothing more refreshing than sitting outside on a warm summer night with a bottle of RCG and some fine, rich cheeses!
Bought a fun mix & match six pack tonight. My first was Kustritzer Schwaizbier (black German beer). Tasty! I'm now on Widmer's Hefeweizen. I like our local wheat beer better.
Shoals Pale Ale, courtesy of Smuttynose Brewing Co. It's part of a mix-pack, so I have 4 different varieties of Smuttynose!
I'm enjoying a Bell's Third Coast today and savoring the Vikings win over San Diego and Adrian Peterson's NFL single game rushing record of 296 yards.
In a couple of weeks I've been told by my local liquor store that they would be getting in Bell's Hopslam even though the Bell's web site says January. We'll see.
re: Davydd
re: Josh
Bell's has expanded distribution in the Midwest but oddly not Illinois yet, but New Glarus only markets in Wisconsin. I find the New Glarus brews interesting but I don't know if I am ready to say great. The mystique of being hard to get works for them. The one brew on tap in a lot of bars, Fat Squirrel, is OK but not top tier.
re: Davydd
Bell's were in Illinois, but they pulled out of Illinois. http://www.chicagoreader.com/features...
Oh and there are two 'types' of beers made by new glarus. They have their everyday tap offerings like Fat Squirrel et al. and they have their special bottlings like the Raspberry Tart and the Belgian Wisconsin Red. Those two are a great counterpoint to anyone who trots out that canard about fruit in beer.
re: bigchow
re: Davydd
Yup...we can't get Bell's in NY so I pick up a case every time I am in Philly. Right now I am working my way through a six pack each of Amber Ale, Pale Ale, Kalamazoo Stout, and Porter. I have a bottle of Expedition Stout that I am saving for a snowy evening.
Wasn't super thrilled with their Batch 8000. Two Hearted is one of the best IPAs in the US.
The only beer we drink in this house is Corona/Corona Light with, of course, lime wedge insterted in bottle. It's the only beer I've found that finishes clean and with no after taste. No thanks to everthing else, especially anything that comes in a can!
re: MVNYC
Ah, that one's too obvious to get me riled up. (But, it could be true, I guess- somebody's drinking that 90% of beer in the US that falls into that kind of catagory. What I can never understand is what they're doing reading a beer board in the first place. Are there similar people who post about Boone's Farm on the Wine board or store brand vodka in Spirits?)
I got a bit more riled up by the dismissive tone in the last post in the "Notes from Spain" thread - not enough to respond to it, tho' -g- but I figured *somebody* would. I'm hoping all the regulars are enjoying all the good beer this season brings to bother with such things. (A case of Hop Wollop and Celebration in my perfect temperature garage right now...)
re: JessKidden
re: JessKidden
I double that.... corona dosent cause after taste as there isnt much involved in the "during taste", while it is a perfectly drinkable beer as prooven by it's overwhelming international sales... it is nothing to write home about. I am glad that crt has pledged to stick to beer from bottles.. good choice.
Captain Lawrence - Liquid Gold (Pleasantville, NY). I can't wait to try their seasonal "Smoke from the Oak - Bourbon Barrell Aged" brew. Their beer, which is sold in growlers, is too good for words.
re: bosun
"Captain Lawrence - which is sold in growlers"
Hmm... haven't seen these in NJ.Are you talking about brewery-bottled growlers sold at retailers, or simply draught sold by the growler, filled by the retailer?
I've only seen the CL beers in 750's, mostly their "Seasonal" releases.
(And the only local brewer who sells "brewery bottled" growlers to retailers being Climax from what I've found).
re: JessKidden
re: MVNYC
"They sell growlers in NYC filled by the retailers at New Beer, Whole Foods and Bierkraft as well as the brewery itself."
Yeah, I know that (OTOH, those retailers fill a lot of growlers, with many different brewers' beers- I'm sure, somewhere, one can buy a growler of Miller Lite, but I wouldn't say that Miller Lite is "sold in growlers".)
I thought "bosun" was implying the beer is "marketed and sold" in "brewery-filled" growlers (rather than simply filled from a tap at the request of a customer, either at the retailers' or a brewery), as are Climax's beers. I don't want to be looking for a beer in a package that doesn't exist...<g>
re: JessKidden
re: MVNYC
OK , <g> I suppose when what folks post is counter to my experience, I ask questions (at $3 a gallon for gas, I don't want to be driving all over the state for a beer that's not available. Hey, if I'm gonna blow big bucks on a liquid, I'd rather it be craft beer than gasoline).
I notice that I find a lot of the beers that the CL website lists as "Seasonal" (and are quite pricey) but don't see the "Year Round" beers and when "bosun" said "growlers" I thought "D*mn, no wonder! I'm looking in the wrong place, maybe they're on the bottom shelf of the cooler rather than the "warm" shelf over by the Belgians...".
re: JessKidden
Sorry for all the confusion. I am from Westchester and live in Brooklyn. I go straight to the CL Brewery to get my beer, so my experience has been that they sell their beer in growlers (except for certain seasonal or specials). I didn't really stop to think that they might not be selling it in a 64oz. container elsewhere, I just drink the beer. It's damn good beer too.
The hub got me stuck on Maredsous 8. It by far my favorite beer and its hard to get me stuck on another. I'm still fairly new to Beer though so I'm having fun trying others. Our pubs are out of St. Bernardus which we also like... last night we had a vintage Liefman's Goudenband and it was great too... its sweet upfront but has a super clean finish...may have to try more of that one.
La Fin du Monde
A Victory Hop Devil Ale - not my first choice, but I'm at work, it's the best beer in the fridge. I wish I was at home having one of the Wolaver's Oatmeal Stouts in my fridge.
Red Seal Ale, got hooked on it up in Mendocino, where it's made. Right now, I've got Sierra Nevada in my fridge. I also love the Trappist ales.
re: vickib
re: yankeefan
re: Chinon00
Ive always enjoyed the Hop Wallop, it was this one occasion I had from tap that just really left me overwhelmed a bit and just oiled down in my mouth- way too filmy. Maybe I just had my hop fill that day, not sure.
I find the 90 minute to be perfect in texture and aroma as well as taste really, but to be honest, that day, it may not have been what I was looking for. Ive never been let down by a 90 but not to say it wont happen.
re: vickib
As we speak, I have a Green Flash IPA I brought back from San Diego.
This will be followed by a few Dogfish Chicory and Sierra Nevada Celeberation
re: yankeefan
Speaking of San Diego beers, right now I am drinking a bottle of Old Viscosity. Before it is done, I am going to crack open a bottle of Older Viscosity to taste the contrast. It's hard to imagine that the older version can be much better, so I am excited to taste the difference.
re: yankeefan
We get Green Flash IPA in NJ- the stock that was around seemed to be getting old but today I just saw 5 cases or so at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, bottled the end of November.
I always find it annoying when I bring back some beer from a distant state and it shows up a few weeks later (but if that's what I gotta do to get another good beer distributed here, so be it).
Since I am sitting at my desk at work right now I am drinking Goose Island Rootbeer, made with cane sugar.
The last couple of nights at home have been New Glarus Spotted Cow paired with a couple of glasses of Tres Generaciones Tequilla.
re: swsidejim
swsidejim-It could be you, weren't you the cuervo and bud guy i was debating a while back? I am glad to see you have upped the ante with your beverage choices. That spotted cow is good stuff, as are all the ew Glarus beers I have had. too bad they don't distribute out of the area, you are lucky to have them. cheers
re: MVNYC
yep its me,
I still drink alot of bud, and miller products, but have been going to some local(regional) breweries, and enjoying some of the products from Wisconson(New Glarus), and Three Floyds of Indiana.
I also drink Cuervo Tradicional & Cuervo Reserva de Familia as well as some top shelf 100% agave tequilas at home.
However when going out I drink whatever the bar has on the shelf, on tap, or in the cooler.
re: MVNYC
I recently got the chance to try some New Glarus beers. I liked many, but some weren't to my taste. The Belgian Red with cherries, for example, was absurdly sweet. I could handle maybe 4 oz. of it, but it comes in a 750mL. I did like the Uff-Da and the Spotted Cow though. Fat Squirrel was unremarkable, IMO. I have a bottle of Hearty Hop IPA at home that I'm waiting to break open.
re: Josh
Have you ever had the chance to try the Unplugged Bourbon Barrel Bock? One of the most inventive and enjoyable beers I've ever had, it's a dopplebock slightly soured with brett. New Glarus beers are amazingly varied, I've tried probably about a dozen and enjoyed each one, I will keep trying them every chance I get because they are really thinking outside the box. I'm sure there will be some misses in there, but that brewery is an adventure every time.
Bell's Cherry Stout. I have to say this is delicious, tastes like a sweet/sour chocalte malt covered cherry.
re: MVNYC
re: MVNYC
Bell's Cherry Stout is a great brew! It has been a while since I had it. I managed to home brew a cherry stout that was a close match to it. Right now I am drinking a Bell's Hopslam but am limiting myself to one a day. If I decide to have a second brew tonight I will switch over to Bell's Lager of the Lakes beer which is about half the alcoholic content of the Hopslam.
This weekend, enjoyed Hair of the Dog Fred which was flat out awesome..
Also discovered Dale's from Oskar Blues. I was a bit of a snob with the canned offerings but I was so wrong. What a great Ale and the Old Chub is much the same in quality.
Köstritzer on tap.
Old Thumper (the one by Shipyard, made in Maine). It's great with chowder.
For dessert, maybe a Double Bag. But only one.
Okay, it's not what I'm drinking *right* now. This second I'm drinking a Sierra Nevada pale ale because it was on sale at the minimart (and a damn good beer). But earlier this evening, and if you can belive this, at a frickin' bowling alley in the frickin' suburbs, I discovered the Widmer '08 Brewmaster's Reserve, which this year, instead of being a variation on an IPA theme, is called a Crimson Wheat. It's like the best qualities of a red/amber combined with the best qualities of a wheat. A deep maroon color (in the pitcher, more of a reddish-caramel in a pint-glass), great hoppy scent, but mild to drink, and not as vegetably (to my palate, the combo of too much light-malt with a strong hop) as I find most red/amber ales. This is the sort of beer I could happily drink with the snobbiest of beer snobs (okay, that's me drinking with me...) and with a coors-light drinker who always wondered if beer could have some sort of flavor to it. Inoffensive yet still pretty damn good. It's probably got wider appeal than the '06 (which became the Broken Halo, one of my favorite hoppy IPAs at the grocery store) or the '07 (I don't know who drank this, but it was supposedly an IPA-style but with odd salty, sour, and funky notes that tasted to me like beer made with laundry water).
In a bottle, to take home with me, I'd probably rather have something floral-hoppy or chocolate-malty. But if I'm buying a pitcher for my bowling team, I'd pick this over Fat Tire any day. Yum.
YF, are you the same YF that posts at some marginally baseball-related web-board that is...well...unrelated (at best) to your primary baseball team? Where I've got a nickname that's short for 'twinkie fan' rather than...well, it's got another meaning I was unaware of? If so, hi!
Had quite the craft beer experience this past weekend. Drank the following:
1) DFH - Black and blue
2) DFH - Chateau Jiahu
3) Russian River - Salvation
4) Lost Abbey - Avant Garde
5) Smuttynose - Barleywine Style Ale
Loved them all. My favorites were the 2 DFH. Probably because I can't get them in CA, I savor them more.
re: shellshock24
Old Horizontal Ive been looking forward, have one laid down but hell with that, going to pick up some to have now. I have some Hopslam coming my way via a midwest beer trade- heard great things.
nice list shellshock! Im a dfh junkie, please tell me youve had the worldwide- otherwise Im going to send you some. I take it for granted having them available here. but you get alesmith so its all fair.
re: yankeefan
re: shellshock24
stoked to hear you are on the wws bus.. I cant wait to try the ones that are aging, what a great beer. I actually wasnt a big fan of rasputin but based on what you say, I will give another try.
Double Simcoe is great, literally just bought 12 of them last night along with 12 of the merry monks. you should look into trading especially with what you have access to out there.
tonight will be double simcoe and Old Chub.
Bellhaven Scottish Ale - Have always enjoyed this on draft. Bought a six-pack last week. Grabbed one out of the frig and I couldn't taste much. I let it sit in the glass for about 15 minutes and then drank it. More of the flavors that I remember came out. I then left one on the dining room table overnight (room temperature around 63F) and drank the next late morning. It was fantastic. Unlike hops, which I think still can be rather apparent at cold temperatures, malt driven ales like Bellhaven need much less of a chill to be appreciated imho. I love this stuff
Currently drinking the Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter. A little sweet for my taste, but how can you complain about getting a 12 of this on super-cheap-ass sale at a minimart? For what I paid, it's the best. beer. ever. About a buck cheaper for the 12 than what I paid on sale last week for plain ol' Sierra Nevada. Thank you, Oregon Liquor Control Commission! (May the record reflect that the Black Butte Porter is a really good porter, just a little bit sweet.)
re: CDouglas
Just got back from the Strong Beer Month Festival at Magnolia Pub in SF. Had the following:
1) Delliah Jones Rye - very hoppy, but delicious ale
2) Promised Land IPA - cask conditioned
3) Old Thunderpussy barleywine
Magnolia Pub & Brewery
1398 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117
From Portland, drinking as I write, my favorite beer up to this point , Hair of the Dog Brewery's "Fred".
re: AndyP
I have just enjoyed Fred from a trade that I worked out from the West Coast, flat out awesome. I have been doing what I can to get some more Hair of the Dog out here, I hope their others are just as good.
Ive been on a barleywine kick lately, been really enjoying Old Foghorn and SN Bigfoot.
Other than that, living off the Nugget Nectar. delicious.
Wanted to get this fine thread started again.
Early Friday start- Dales Pale Ale and DFH Aprihop
Cracked open bottles of Damnation, Salvation, and Hop 15 for Easter dinner with the fam...quite nice. Now ending with a 12 oz. bottle of Hair of the Dog Rose which is so-so.
re: Solstice444
I made the mistake of picking up a bottle of this dreck after seeing an "elbow patches on the sport coat" type buying it at my local shop. That's the last time I'll generalize about what a beerhound looks like!...Yes, kind of lambic, but fancies itself a lager. I couldn't help but think it was made from the runt, undersized, under ripe berries that fall through the cracks. It's not for everyone.
St. Amand, "French Country Ale" from Brassierie Castelain, Benifontaine FR. Laid it in my basement for a couple of years--it's a 'biere de garde'. In the meanwhile, I've found that I don't enjoy a touch of brett in ales, and had some doubts about it since 'country-style' ales often have it deliberately introduced. If there's any in this, can't taste it. Medium body and color, crisp and balanced. cheers
Tried a new local this weekend: Sebago Brewing (Maine) Frye's Leap IPA. The first one I popped had an odd taste...sort of sour-milky, maybe? The second one, with pizza, was better. Perhaps I got a bad bottle. I'll be "researching" the rest of the 12-pack this week.
I'd say this one's worth a try if you like hops. A word of caution: the 12-pack box is very pretty but extremely flimsy, like a cereal box. The bottom nearly gave out in the supermarket parking lot.
re: Bobfrmia
I think Surly Furious is just about the best beer I've ever had. A friend from Minneapolis brought me some, and I tried to make it last as long as I could, since I know we won't be getting any in the northeast anytime soon.
Now drinking: Yuengling Lager (nothing too fancy). Last night I had a Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA and a Stone IPA.
Just found Southern Tier PumpKing ale at Wholefoods...A little early in the season but it's easily my fav. pumpkin beer. Been sitting on a Cuvee 1 and Weyerbacher 14th for a while now so those may need be laid to rest this weekend. Anything is better than the Ithica Apricot Wheat I had last night, damnit.
Fire Rock Pale Ale - Kona Brewing
I was surprised by this beer - it's a good poolside Pale Ale. Crisp.
I was so super lucky to find a pub in Rome MA CHE SIETE VENUTI A FA' I was able to try a Cantillon St. Lamvinus on draft and a Eylenbosch Gueuze 1984. All I can say is wow, the sour and funky quality of both these beers was something I so enjoyed. I have a new favorite beer destination, although a bit of a trek from Brooklyn.
drinking 'paper' right now. i thought it would have probably gone flat by now but it hasn't. this is 'paper': http://www.flickr.com/photos/tenhosau...
zum wohl!
re: Henry Spencer
As much as I love Racer 5, I found it was a palate killer when I was out a few weekends ago. None of the beers I had the rest of that night could beat it.
So far tonight I've had Southern Tier Hoppe--a little too light on hops for my palate, but still excellent--and a River Horse Hop Hazard, which is a strange pale ale with a toasty, almost bread-like flavor.

By Robert Barron, Staff Writer
Enid News & Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Garfield County and area voters will go to the polls Tuesday to elect state and regional candidates and make decisions affecting the future of Oklahoma.
Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. County residents may still participate in early voting 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. today at Garfield County Election Board, 903 Failing.
Garfield County voters will cast ballots in the presidential race between Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama and Biden are the incumbents.
In the congressional race for 3rd District House of Representatives, incumbent Republican Frank Lucas faces Democrat Timothy Ray Murray and Independent William M. Sanders.
Lucas currently is chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, the first Oklahoman to achieve that position.
"I'm the guy who gets to be chairman ... writing the farm bill that is trying to salvage what is critically important to rural America," Lucas said. "In a representative democracy, we are a huge land mass, but our percentage of the vote is getting smaller every day as the rest of the country grows."
Most of the spending in the farm bill — 80 percent — is for nutrition programs, the other 20 percent goes to agriculture, he said.
Murray said many Republican beliefs for the country are similar to his: a strong military, supportive government for the people, lower government spending and fair taxes.
However, he said congressional Republicans' beliefs are different than those of most of their constituents. He said GOP lawmakers are bent on undermining the nation's foundations of education, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which are the nation's safety net.
Murray said the funding problems with Social Security and Medicare should not be solved by lowering benefits or the structure of what he described as "great foundations of the people." He said the financial conditions of Social Security and Medicare can be restored to make them financially viable in the future.
Sanders wants to invest in alternative energy. By gaining energy independence, the country can regain its edge in a competitive marketplace, he said. To do that, the country needs to use its natural gas, wind and solar power resources.
Discussing the economy, Sanders said bad behavior should not be rewarded.
"Our current financial organizations — in particular, Wall Street financial institutions — are essentially being subsidized by the taxpayer through artificial interest rates," he said. "Meanwhile, those same institutions have yet to answer for potential criminal actions and other abuses, such as the current housing crisis."
He accused Lucas of opposing company shareholders having any say on their executives' salaries and compensation. Sanders said the nation should focus as much attention on Main Street, helping communities keep their dollars and compete in a legitimate capitalist society, and not what he calls "crony capitalism."
Also on the ballot is judicial retention for Oklahoma Supreme Court justices: District 3, Norma D. Gurich; District 4, Yvonne Kauger; District 7, James E. Edmondson; and District 8, Douglas L. Combs; Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals justices: District 1, Clancy Smith; District 4, Arlene Johnson; and District 5 David B. Lewis; and Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals justices: District 3, Office 1, P. Thomas Thornbrugh; District 4, Office 1, William C. Hetherington; District 4, Office 1, Kenneth L. Buettner; District 5, Office 2, Robert Bobby Bell; and District 6, Office 1, E. Bay Mitchell.
Also, six state questions are on the ballot: SQ 758, regarding lowering the cap on ad valorem taxes from 5 percent to 3 percent; SQ 759, regarding affirmative action in state hiring; SQ 762, which would remove the governor from the parole process of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board for those convicted of nonviolent offenses; SQ 764, which would provide a bond fund for the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to act as a reserve fund for certain water resource and sewage treatment funding programs; SQ 765, which would abolish Oklahoma Department of Human Services and Oklahoma Commission on Human Services and the position of director of Human Services. The Legislature would retain power to adopt legislation for those purposes; and SQ 766 would abolish ad valorem taxes on "intangible" property.
Area elections include a sheriff election in Kingfisher County. The general election will determine whether incumbent sheriff Dennis Banther is re-elected or opponent Michael Jones wins the office. Banther has spent the past 17 years working for the sheriff's office and has been sheriff eight years.
Jones is a reserve police officer in Hennessey. He also has experience as a reserve officer in Canton and Okeene.
In the Kingfisher County Court Clerk race, two candidates, Lisa Benson and Lisa Markus, are running for the seat left by retiring Yvonne Dow.
Benson lives in Dover and is a lifelong resident of Kingfisher County. She has worked in the district attorney's office since 2007, and is director of the supervision and restitution program.
Markus has lived in Kingfisher County for 32 years with her husband, Joe, and has worked in the county court clerk's office for 27 years, the past 12 a first deputy.
Two men face off in the District 27 State Senate race: Bryce Marlatt and Tommy Nicholson. The district encompasses much of northwest Oklahoma and the Panhandle, covering more than 12,000 square miles. The counties in District 27 include Major, Woods, Dewey, Ellis, Woodward, Harper, Beaver, Cimarron and Texas.
Marlatt is a resident of Woodward and has represented the district since he was elected in 2008. Nicholson, of Mooreland, is making his first run for public office.
Nicholson was born in Milwaukee, Wis., and was adopted by a family in Waynoka. He grew up working on a farm and ranch and left school during his junior year of high school in 1968 to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. He served 18 months in Vietnam and was awarded two Bronze Stars. He served six years in the Marines, and transitioned to the U.S. Army, where he served until 1997, accumulating 27 years of military service.
Margaret Parman and Tony Almauger are candidates for Blaine County sheriff. Parman, Blaine County undersheriff, has spent 11 years with the sheriff's department, but her law enforcement career goes back to 1975, when she worked for Chickasha Police Department.
Almauger, the Democratic candidate, has been assistant police chief in Watonga for the past three years. He has worked 18 years for the police department. Four years ago, Almauger ran for Blaine County sheriff. The race ended in a tie with the current sheriff, Rick Ainsworth. Ainsworth's name was subsequently drawn from the hat.
Woodward County residents will choose either incumbent Gary Stanley or challenger Joe Adams for sheriff.
Stanley points to his accomplishments as sheriff the past four years. When elected, the county jail had a capacity of 41 inmates and had been informed by the jail inspector it was in violation of all state jail standards. It was deemed the second-most-dangerous jail in the state for jail staff. The county could have been fined and the jail possibly closed if those problems were not eliminated. After his election, Woodward County voters approved a new 160-bed jail, which was a major focus of his first term. Stanley believes his 35-years in law enforcement makes him the best candidate.
Adams, the Democratic challenger, wants to establish a training program, the goal of which is to keep deputies and personnel at a top performance level and ensure extra hours and credits are caught up. He also wants to start a program for parents and children on the dangers of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, child abduction, and human trafficking and to introduce a drug program, including interdiction with a drug dog.
The Woodward County Commissioners race features a contest between two longtime county residents for the District 2 race. Bill Phillips has owned and operated a construction business for 35 years and understands how to deal with rules and regulations and all types of construction. He said he will make better decisions regarding the ongoing renovation of the Woodward County Fairgrounds.
Randy Johnson said he always is accountable for his decisions and actions. He has 20 years of county experience, working as a District 2 receiving officer and a District 2 inventory officer. He understands the operation of all county equipment and has spent many hours fighting wildfires and on safety training.
Johnson said his knowledge of road and bridge construction makes him the best candidate for the job.

After completing years of training, earning their certifications, and memorizing more than 500 Pilates movements, aspiring instructors still aren't ready for recruitment at Vita Movement. Owner Patricia A. Robinson looks for one other crucial quality on potential résumés: adaptability. She and her highly trained staff members distinguish their teaching from rote instruction by making personal adjustments for each client. These modifications can be minute or broad, and cater to different fitness levels as well as conditions such as injury or pregnancy. In fact, Patricia specializes in pre- and postnatal workouts, regimens that have been featured on 9 News for their ability to reduce the physical stresses of motherhood. No matter the course, instructors keep a careful eye on their pupils' progress, displaying the keen attention to anatomical detail that helped them win the award for Best Pilates Studio on the 2011 Denver A-List.
The studio keeps its sessions intimate to better tailor its lessons. Reformers by Balanced Body line the brightly lit space, vying for attention with Wunda Chairs and other equipment in addition to a supply of mats, bands, and rollers. The machinery helps tone and strengthen bodies' "powerhouse," or core, relying on springs for resistance as students stretch into adapted Pilates motions. In addition to Pilates courses, such as jump-board and Reformer classes, students can partake in TRX suspension training and indoor cycling. Pilates Vita also acts as a boutique gym, granting members full access to the all equipment as well as three genie wishes that don't involve flying or the ability to eat 12 wedding cakes without getting sick.
Today, Challenge Unlimited captains biking and hiking tours all over the globe, from the vineyards of Tuscany to the Incan towns of Peru. More than two decades ago, however, the business was simply known in Colorado for its signature Pikes Peak by Bike tour. During this 20-mile excursion, guides and up to 35 followers descend 20 miles from a summit of 14,110 feet, infiltrating five zones with distinct climates, plant life, animals, and altitude-based baking methods. Riders often encounter eagles, deer, elk, and even the occasional mountain lion or black bear along the way. Guides can also escort Colorado's athletes across the Gold Camp Road—a 17-mile railroad bed once rattling with railcars filled with gold—and through breathtaking Aspen groves. Pit stops are made over the course of three nights and four days at the Victorian Hotel and a nearby dude ranch. Beyond domestic borders, international trips explore Nepal's Annapurna Foothill on foot and the bustling pubs and haunts of Ireland by bike or skateboards strapped to sprinting leprechauns.
Within Game Shack's digital den, flat-screen TVs line the walls, flickering with the polygonal derring-do of gamers locked in virtual competition with titles for platforms including Xbox, Wii, and PC. While their plush leather video-game chairs make extended sessions as comfortable as they are engaging, Game Shack also brings games to life in their multi-floor, tiered laser-tag arena. Illuminated by black lights, players take aim at opponents against a tropical-themed backdrop depicting a moonlit waterfall, a spooky temple, and tiki men impersonating their favorite Bond villains. The party room hosts large groups for celebrations such as birthdays and special events, with party packages available that arm each member with unlimited laser tag and console gaming. Game Shack also hosts competitive-gaming events, with an official Elo-based ranking system that assigns seeding for tournaments. As players dash and game to their hearts' delight, the Snack Shack keeps them properly fueled with food such as pizza, hot dogs, chicken wings, Monster energy drinks, and sodas.
Fort Collins Classroom's teachers blend intensive instruction with hands-on practice in classes that range from nonprofit education to real estate to languages to paranormal studies. Between conjugating verbs, writing grants, or conducting a symphony of squeaky pens on a dry-erase board, pupils will often analyze research from prestigious institutions such as Duke University or the U.S. military.
Boot Camp Challenge Denver Metro helps trainees to realize their fitness goals with motivating instructors and encouragement from peers. Classes meet indoors during the morning and evening hours three days a week for six weeks, with participants burning up to 500 to 800 calories per session. Exercises conform to all fitness levels and abilities, and each program includes personalized nutritional guidance that details how to successfully plan meals and mercilessly harpoon wild heads of lettuce.
Amateur golfers of any age or skill level can test their mettle in their choice of three tournaments during the Golfweek Amateur Tour, which sorts hard-driving participants into different flights based on handicap, then awards Visa cards and trophies to top finishers (not included with this Groupon, prize eligibility must be earned with an additional $20 fee and a verifiable handicap). Face off against a gauntlet of club-wielding foes—each armed with their own special move and elemental weakness—on verdant, well-groomed lawns dotted with hidden slopes and devilish bunkers. Entry fees cover the green fee, range balls, cart rental, and purchase of shrieking novelty putters that you can slip into opponents' bags. Purchasers will also receive $10 off a Denver Golfweek Amateur Tour annual membership (discount valid through January 31).

Afternoon Tea
I've had an ongoing, long running fantasy that I want to tell you about. Before I die, (or before I'm 30?) I want to have tea at the Bergdorf Goodman restaurant. It happens to have been designed by that oh-so- enigmatic alien, Kelly Wearstler. I adore her. Not that I think we would get along in real life. I'm pretty confident we would both have some cutting remarks about each other. But still, love her. She's insane. She is the definition of maximalism and she's really into patterns and white china horse heads. AMAZING. So, the goal is on. So it is written, so let it be done. Who's joining me? Make sure you wear this season's strawberry YSL.
