You know Jim when it comes to higher CAFE standards you and the slowminded Repubs ALWAYS short change American inventiveness, ingenuity, and scientific know how. Instead of encouraging higher mileage on autos and trucks you are stuck in the 1980's. Meanwhile Japan, and soon China, will continue to clean our automotive clocks. We have listened to you and your antiquated thinking and look at where Detroit is today. No, Jim, the future, and future jobs are in more efficient, cleaner, higher mileage vehicles and they can be built in the USA if only you and your dinosaur friends in the elephant party would get out of the way.
And also, Jim, if you knew anything about economics, but if you were educated in GA 10-15 years ago I am sure economics was not on your radar, the current financial mess has been brewing since Ronald Reagan tried to sell the supply side economics farce, and every Repub administration after has done the same. Jim, it don't work. Let me repeat, it don't work. And it don't work because the same Repbubs who want to run that failed policy just cannot cut the spending side. So what do you have, not enough revenue. Any corporate genius can tell you to be profitable you need to take in more money than you spend, period. We have only had a very few years over the last 50 where the government has had a surplus. So, when it comes to deficits, your party has never had a solution just as you claim the Dems havn't either. So your arrogance about budgeting is also a failure. Tax and spend does not work nor does tax and borrow. The only solution is balanced or surplus budgets, nothing more and nothing less.

Hey Jim………this comment…….yes, with medication you can sleep comfortably at night knowing that your child is out driving, probably too fast, in a wheeled box of tin.
What are you suggesting…….Rush was correct with his drug abuse ?

"Almost half — 46 percent to be exact — of the 2,800 people who responded to the Web question, "How would you describe President Obama's political philosophy?" posed by Richard Viguerie's ConservativeHQ.com answered "Socialist." Another 24 percent said Marxist, 11 percent Communist, 10 percent fascist and 5 percent liberal."
Yet somehow his approval rating continues to tickle the teabag of 70%.

Health care tax break doesn't help at all if you can't buy insurance. The Rep plan to allow me to choose my plan doesn't work if I have a pre-existing condition that denies me insurance. Free market with choices? What a joke.

So the Republican plan gives the currently uninsured about half the amount needed to buy a minimal-coverage family health insurance policy. And where does the money come from? Why, it's from taxing employed workers' health insurance premiums, along with the portion paid by their employers. That's a great way to get rid of health insurance that's currently offered by employers, who will see the full amount of what they pay for employees' health insurance coverage subject to tax. Pretty soon we can all be out there, desperately scouring the economic landscape for health insurance policies with $10,000 deductibles and 50% co-pays.

Jim, the tattoo serves to show the world that Mr. Dupri's love for Ms. Jackson is more than skin deep. Starting right below his armpit, which appeared to be infested with Jamaican dreadlocks, was a rendering of a saintly appearing Janet jackson. Her inked wardrobe appeared to be functioning correctly and it was quite a sight to behold. Unfortunately, for others to see this lovely depiction of this terrific non-talent, Mr. Dupri will have to be sans shirt and showin' his nasty draws. Let's demand that the police crack down on this illustrated munchkin! Keep your clothes on Jermaine! Nobody wants to see you in yo nakedness and Janet Jackson jus' using you cuz. You know she tellin' all her friends how she duped that pygmy into gettin' a huge tat of her. She sayin', "he cried like a little girl when that needle hit his ass."

What I find amazing is that the liberals who jumped on everything Dick Cheney said and did, find nothing wrong with anything Joe Biden says. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Some day they will invent a cure for it. Until then we will just have to endure Obama and Biden.

Georgia led all states in new business startups last year
When you have a lot of people thrown out of work, they wind up trying to start something up on their own. I guess to a Ayn Randian that's just grrreat.
The rest of us see the various states' race to the bottom for what it is.

Hey Buzz, I'm completely "Mental." We watched as our country was choked to death by the ReThuglicans led by that Gang of Swang, Bush & Cheney. To have watched that administration crush the life out of our country has been painful. President Obama has been in office, what?… 4 months, and you expect all that has been done over 8 years to be undone?? Hmmm, Mental, huh?

I'm betting there's a liberal who will argue that people can't be trusted to make such important decisions.
Er no, the argument is that the existing for-profit health insurance industry can't be trusted not to squeeze every penny of this proposed subsidy into billion-dollar compensation packages for its CEOs and divident income for its investors.
It ain't rocket science–private for-profit healthcare insurance just doesn't work.

Evidence that Georgia's low-and-fair-tax approach to business creates jobs is contained in a new nationwide study. Georgia led all states in new business startups last year and has had the greatest increase over the past decade. Low taxes and fair treatment work every time.

Evidence that Georgia's low-and-fair-tax approach to education creates jobs in other states is contained in a new nationwide study. Georgia led all states in minimum wage new business startups last year and has had the greatest increase over the past decade. Low taxes and fair treatment for employers only work every time to reduce Georgia's ability to attract good high paying jobs.

Well at least Janet's not a temporary tattoo, Jim. along his lower right side from chest to waist?
Does sound like her head is in his armpit though.
I love Joe for all "the right" reasons.
Georgia led all states in new business startups last year and has had the greatest increase over the past decade. Peanuts to California…take seed, errr heed.
I wouldn't call Georgia State's "problem" that of overstaffing. More like overstuffing.
I'll say this for our new superintendent — he's a brave soul. If he can eliminate the drama maybe my county won't carry the burden of dragging down the state's overall scores.
"How would you describe President Obama's political philosophy?" I don't think that those who voted for Obama took his political philosophy into consideration when voting. They were looking for a cool "cucumber". They got one.

An alternative exists to government-run health care. Conservative Republicans have offered it. It would redirect $300 billion in subsidies from employer-provided insurance to give families $5,700 per year to buy it and to fund health savings accounts. The poor would get a supplement of up to $5,000. I'm betting there's a liberal who will argue that people can't be trusted to make such important decisions.
Could just as easily been written
Conservative Republicans have proposed shifting more of the burden for of indigent care to the middle class. By proposing a direct tax on employee health care the Republicans have found an additional $300 billion to support Walmart's efforts to keep the cost of Chinese import artificially low. It qualifies as a double whammy as health care is one of the great achievements of organized labor in post WWII America…

Oh that poor seventh grader. If that youth really cared he could have written a truly balanced piece incorporating your energy arguments against sprawl. Children are assigned a task and the sooner you and your hovering paternal protectionists accept that the learning is in the doing the better Johnny and Suzy are going to be at being productive members of society. Most everyone has to do something they do not 100% believe is right when they have a job, except for columnists, so children need to do their assignments. Or do you suppose that our students are so dim that this madras type assignment is going to breed eco-terrorists?

Or could it be that every owner of a pickup truck and a lawnmower can "create" a business in an economy that basically consists of nothing more than building houses willy nilly. And some of these guys are very creative when it comes to AVOIDING taxes. What are the figures for this year Jim? How high has the unemployment rate climbed. You are a master when it comes to picking cherries Jim. Also, how about detailing for us some of the reasons that Charlotte is becoming a much more desirable location for new business than Georgia. Could it be choking traffic created by the bubba plan when it comes to transportation here in the peach state? Could it be that Charlotte has rapid light rail that services the downtown business types and runs all the way to the technology triangle. Of course not in the mind of Jim Wooten and the troglodytes that populate our State House. A Governor named Sonny to ice the cake too. Yep. Wider roads, more cars, more concrete, more suicide merges, longer commutes. We've really shown em how to do it here in Georgia.

We entered God's House of Prayer on Sunday just in the nick of time to hear the choir director whisper to the choir in cadence, one, and a two, and a three, and a four, He's an on time God, Yes He is, Ooooooooh, on time God, Yes He is, Job said he may not come when you want Him, but He'll be there right on time, I tell you he's an on time God, Yes He is… You can ask the Children of Israel, trapped at the Red Sea, by that mean old pharaoh, and a his army, They had water all around them, and pharaoh on their track, but from out of nowhere, God stepped in, and there was a highway just like that, Let me tell you he's an on time God, yes he is, Ooooooooh on time God, yes he is, Job said he may not come when you want him, but he'll be there right on time, I tell you he's an on time God, yes he is…
Just as the song neared its end, an old man walked gingerly across a make-shift pulpit to deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His face showed signs of betrayal, rebuke, and scorn. And among his adversaries were apostate Christians and the so-called educated integrationist Negroes and their minions who follow the dictates of Saul Olinski i.e. agitate, agitate, agitate to cause turmoil in society… But as the old servant of God delivered his message, the congregation was energized and overcome with praise. They shouted repeatedly, hallelujah, glory to the highest, glory be to God, praise God! And in the midst of it all, the old man's still small voice was heard saying, He's an on time God, Yes He is. We believe he's an on time God, yes he is. Now he may not come when you want him, but he'll be there right on time. He's an on time God, yes he is.
Let those who worship God in spirit and in truth say he's an on time God, oh yes, he's on time…

Good morning, Jim,
Your comments about "Richard Viguerie's ConservativeHQ.com" simply prove that if you select the people you're questioning carefully enough, you can get any answer you desire. We're indeed polarized, as you suggest, but conservative fear-mongering, like Viguerie's poll, might have helped accomplish that.

Jackie, if I said it once, I've said it a thousand times. I can't reveal my organization's identity to the public. The enemies of God are reading these blogs too. Do you remember what the so-called educated integrationist Negroes and their masters did to Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association? We can't allow that to happen to us. We have worked too hard to allow some so-called educated integrationist Negro miscreants to disrupt our progress. If the so-called educated integrationist Negroes had built institutions instead of begging others for acceptance, they wouldn't have time to protest or contest every mole-hill occurring within white institutions. They would be too busy working out their own salvation…

Charles, the Original God Bothering nutjob, works for an organization that manufactures tin-foil hats for the downtrodden. He cannot reveal their identity, as that might lead to their exposure as a con mill that exploits and rips off the people they purport to help. Think Jim and Tammy Faye, but with better fashion sense.

Hi Jim….quick thought on your medical insurance comment. If, in order for this proposal to work, the government will be subsidizing it, then is that really a free market solution? If the government provided everyone a subsidy of $1000 a year for transportation, how would you view that?
The bottom line on medical insurance is this: premiums = profit and claims = loss. Business are incentivized to minimize loss, which in this case means minimizing claims. That means cherry picking healthy people, rejecting their claims when they make them, and then fighting them in court…which is cheaper because they're lawyers and their customers are sick and not up to the fight.
How could that possibly be effective?

@ Charles
If I have asked once, I have asked a thousand times as to why is your organization such a secret that you and only those that are part of the organization have any idea as to its mandate.
You purport to help young black kids without offering any proof that your "help" is positive. Does your organization need more volunteers?
If the answer is no, my belief is you and a straight fraud!

Speaking of being a straight fraud, did you hear about the "Saul Olinski" Negroes protestations of the results rendered by the Judge concerning the boy who hanged himself in Dekalb County? Now that showmanship is a straight fraud.
The integrationist Negroes are to blame for the problems and curiously they seek to solve them. This is indeed an oxymoron.
May 22nd, 2009

If I were a so-called educated integrationist Negro, the name calling would have a negative impact on me. But thank God I'm well beyond that.

I'm betting that there's a conservative that will say that gay marriage will cost the taxpayers money because those individuals would be covered by health benefits that were previously denied to them. I'm betting that there's a conservative that will use health care subsidies to advance their agenda in favor of a constitutional definition of marriage.
May 22nd, 2009

Now you know that there is extra criticism due for the boy who hanged himself in Dekalb County; and the bully should be criticized.
Just as there is criticism for a tyrant, there should be extra criticism for the people who submit to that sort of rule.
And there is criticism due to white people who enslaved black people for four hundred years. And there is more criticism due to black people for allowing slavery to occur with little opposition throughout the years.

I think we need to have a Memorial Day for America as we used to know her. The libs are destroying this country right under our noses and rebuilding it in their vision: one of statism, socialist indoctrination, and pure equality for all – no rich, no poor.
Now, when the libs at abcnews.com start bedwetting over PrezBo & co. and doing things without the DNC media, you KNOW something is wrong.
"On April 27, President Obama welcomed the University of Connecticut Lady Huskies, who had just won the NCAA women's basketball championship.A fter the event, President Obama went to the White House basketball court to shoot hoop with the Lady Huskies. The White House press corps was not allowed to attend."
Of course, when dealing with libs, you have to have the ubiquitous hypocrisy alert:
"It's perfectly fine, of course, for the White House to put out its own version of events…"
Um, actually that WASN'T okay by you libs for the Bush administration to do it, whiners. But anyway, back to the lib bedwetting:
"But is it right to do so by preventing actual reporters from covering something? (Even something like a pickup basketball game). Do Obama White House officials think their media coverage isn't flattering enough? Is the goal to ultimately replace the pesky photographers who film what they want to and not what they're told to (not to mention the annoying reporters who ask uncomfortable questions about, say, detainee policy and bank bailouts)? Do you want your OTV?"
Laughable. What are you people whining about? You people elected this current from of incompetents in Washington. Further, those dimolibs don't quite know what liberties are (free press, free speech [against the demolibs], freedom from government intervention, government control in the private sector, potential salary caps in businesses that never took bailout funds, cap-n-trade, etc.).
Change you can believe in!

Jackie, the globalists in the United States are using the same practices on white people that were used on black people in the early seventies. In the black community, if you married a white person or someone of a different race, the New World Order Crowd worked the system of things to your advantage. You and your interracial spouse will receive more opportunities.
So if you are a white person and subscribe to globalism, the New World Order crowd will work the system for you. Take it from me white people, it's not worth it.
May 22nd, 2009
3:14 pm
You are absolutely right. Nothing bothers me. And here is the reason why.
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

Hi, Charles!
How can we know that the Creator, in temporal matters, is punctual? We know not God's schedule, but we know our hurt. Even St. Thos. Aquinas acknowledged God's evident tarrying, in the face of our intermediate suffering, as a mystery. (Aquinas didn't like mysteries.) Let's do our best, then, pending His return, and ask him in all humility to hurry.
As a friend of ours would ask, "'Nuff said?"
May 22nd, 2009
3:28 pm
There are a number of workable solutions that would more cost effectively subsidize the health care needs of the WORKING poor. The solution the Republicans posit sounds about right.
May 22nd, 2009
3:30 pm
Somewhere I read that you can't hurry God. It is not for me to know that God is punctual or no. I have faith that he is.
And I for one love the mysteries. And as for knowing, we know only in part…God is our whole i.e. our all and all.
Nuff said.

Hundreds of people made the pledge Saturday to get fit.
Quincy Medical Group and Nufit kicked off their annual Bridge The Gap training program.
Participants of all ages and skill levels will train for 14 weeks for either a 5K, 10K or half marathon on May 18th.
Trainers say the program helps bring the community together to get healthier.
"This is just an amazing opportunity for people in the community to come together and exercise in a fun way, build comradery among the runners, walkers families. It is just a good way to get in shape and have fun," said Tiffaney Raines of Nufit.
If you sign up for the training program and race by Feb. 8, you will receive a $5 discount on the race.

When you work hard to build a good business, there's nothing worse than watching it literally go up in flames.
SKYFOX9 was overhead when popular establishment caught fire on Thursday afternoon. The blaze that broke out on Main Street basically destroyed the building despite the efforts of multiple fire departments.
"It was chaotic. It was a lot of memories going up in flames right then and there," said Peter Dobbleaire, a Rockford resident.
The good news is that no one was injured in the fire. The bad news is that restaurants are few and far between in Rockford, and most residents in the area have stopped in to dine or drink over the years. For many, it felt like a second home.
Those who live nearby say the restaurant has been under many different owners in the past. Though there were some troubled times, it had recently found new success.
"He turned this place around right away," said Dobbleaire. "Right from the start, the town was getting behind him. The business was getting booming again."
Dale Wicks, owner of Cowboyz Bar and Grill, had just purchased the restaurant in December.
"It's devastating," he said of the blaze. "We wanted the business to be fore the community here, and it's a loss right now."
Yet, Wicks said he's thankful everyone got out safely.
"That's the first question I asked. 'Is everyone safe?'" he recalled. "They said yes, so that's the most important thing."
The fire took out the restaurant, bar and kitchen area. So far, there is no word on what sparked it, but firefighters said they had a tough time knocking it down because of the way the building was constructed.
Wicks says he hopes to rebuild.

Kathleen Hanna Speaks at Columbia College (or Filling a Blogging Void in Middle Missouri)
Last night I took my four-year-old to see punk and riot grrrl icon Kathleen Hanna speak for a Women's History Month series held at Columbia College. While between projects at work, I decided to see what was written about the talk. The regular news sources summarized Hanna's visit succinctly, but there was nothing coming from a local blog. There aren't many good blogs in this town these days, but a void needs filling and I'm about to get back on that horse.
As I mentioned above, I took my daughter to see a woman whom I think is a great role model as she grows and develops. Kathleen Hanna is a strong, smart, and creative adult woman I want my kid to look to for inspiration. She has people like that in her life now, but it doesn't hurt to find more.
My kid was in awe. First of all, she insisted on sitting in the front row. We skipped over a couple of seats that looked to be saved and settled in. It just so happened that one of those seats was Kathleen Hanna's! When a woman began to welcome the audience, my daughter asked whether or not that was Kathleen Hanna. I promptly informed her that no, Kathleen Hanna was sitting next to her. It was all that four-year-old could do to contain her excitement.
She really loved any time Hanna referred to rocking and bands. See, my daughter loves riot grrrl bands. She's particularly fond of Sleater-Kinney and Wild Flag. (She just wrote a letter and drew a picture for Wild Flag to be mailed ASAP.) She loves the power and upbeat energy from that era of music. The fact that it's all made by women doesn't hurt either.
Hanna gave the kind of talk one would expect. She told her story, full of valley girl vernacular. She had slides of rarely seen zines and flyers. There were grainy videos of her various bands. She had great anecdotes of major indie and punk rock players. She told stories of inspiring young women fighting the patriarchy at every turn.
A running theme was her attempt to take back space normally occupied by males. There were rooms in a community center, rock venues, even the space in front of bands to be occupied. Underlying all of this was the space men and boys take up that can't be seen, the space occupied by ideas and words. Hanna challenged these spaces and found room for herself and the girls who joined her in the fight.
At some point, a guy sitting in the back yelled out some fairly off-topic statements and questions. I won't dignify either the content nor the deliverer of such idiocy as it completely disrupted the night by identifying or detailing what was said. Hanna was knocked off course a couple of times. Finally, she regained her bearings and told the guy to "shut-the-fuck-up." Then she demanded he leave.
Instead of leaving quietly, the "heckler" continued to be obnoxious until college staff and a few audience members helped him leave. The debate over his comments continued today on Facebook, but I don't want to spend anymore time on this as the dude was totally out of line.
Two beautiful things resulted from this conflict. First, the outburst demonstrated Hanna's point about men always taking up space that wasn't theirs, infringing on a woman's chance to express herself. Second, it provided an opportunity for my daughter and really any young woman in the crowd to see a need for feminism as well as said feminism in action.
Fuck that dude and all the jerks and bullies like him.
Hanna recovered and continued to present her story. I geeked out over a video of Bikini Kill. My daughter geeked out over a Le Tigre video. We both laughed over the cabaret video Hanna shared.
It was a fun and empowering night. I wish my daughter could have met Hanna, but that will have to wait for the letter my girl intends to write to one of her newest heroes.
If you see this, Kathleen Hanna, know that you made an impression on our little college town and one four-year-old in particular.

Session #71: Brewers and Drinkers
Better late than never, eh?
This month's session is brought to you by The Homebrew Manual and focuses on the relationship with beer between brewers and drinkers. I consider myself both, but I know of many who are more one or the other. It does taint one's appreciation of beer, but I don't think one is necessarily better than the other.
Let's start with me. I used to be a drinker only. My thinking was that I could never brew something as good as a commercial brewer. And many of the homebrewers I knew proved this to be true. Their beers were mediocre at best and didn't offer the same wow factor that many commercial breweries offered. I just didn't see the point of brewing 40-50 bottles of something that wasn't nearly as good the various different beers I could find at the store or in bars. That and many of these homebrewers seemed ignorant to the tide of craft beer developing under their noses. High IBU's and ABV's seemed impossible. "Throw more spice and have another malty beverage!"
So, I threw myself into the craft beer movement. I bought every new release. I built a cellar that might not be the largest you've ever seen, it's still solid in its variety and quality. I lost track of how many beers I had before Untappd (BU), but I have since achieved Legendary status (500 unique beers recorded) with a solid progression toward Extraordinary (1000 different beers). I steeped myself in the culture and blogging community so as to further my enjoyment of craft beer.
Then – I don't remember whose beer it was – it hit me. It is possible to brew beer at home that's as good or even better than what the pros produce. It was like a second epiphany. So, I tried some homebrewing. At first, it was a kit that seemed pretty pedestrian, but I didn't care. It was mine. From there, I completely changed the hop additions and developed an incredible single-hopped Simcoe IPA and the rest was history.
Now, granted, I've never moved beyond extract brewing. Some would argue that I don't really brew. However, I haven't moved on to all-grain for two simple reasons. First, extract brewing requires less time and is generally simpler. I can steep some specialty grains before I boil for added complexity. Extract brewing is just so easy. Second, my beers have generally been considered "better than extract." Few have been able to sense the extract and all have loved my beers. I've done some insanely hoppy IPA's/DIPA's, potent imperial stouts, a ridiculously popular saison, and there's a boozy Belgian Quad bottle conditioning right now that is loaded with that raisin flavor/aroma brewers strive for.
So, I'm a brewer and a drinker. I don't think one understands beer better than the other. Brewers can break down a beer into its components, altering the enjoyment from aesthetic-based to one of utility. Each beer is judged like a puzzle, stirring inspiration for the next batch while developing metacognition along the way. Drinkers, however, are not lost in the details and enjoy beer in the moment. Where the brewer tries to experiment with technique and ingredients, the drinker collects and hoards his own variety. Both can be generous with knowledge and refreshment. Both know their stuff. But, most importantly, both appreciate and love beer.
As is usual for this blog, I can find an applicable comparison to musicians and music fans. I am of the latter and not the former. I wish I could play music. I tried teaching myself guitar and bass at one point, but there just wasn't time in my schedule. Despite my love of the DIY movement, I've never really felt that playing music was in the cards for me. However, I don't appreciate music any less than musicians. I have several musician friends who – for whatever reason – like to read this blog, talk music with me, or come hear me spin. I'm more than a fan. I curate.
But I digress.
Does one need to brew (or play music) to properly appreciate beer (or music)? No. The appreciation is just different. I know a lot more about beer and appreciate a well-made pale ale or Pilsner because of what I know about brewing. However, there are some times when I want to suspend that knowledge and just enjoy the beer for what it is at that moment. Who cares what causes the head retention or that tartness. I just want to appreciate the beer for being a beer.
I don't ever want to be the brewer that analyzes every beer, sucking out the enjoyment. I don't want to swayed by technique over the ephemeral. Conversely, I don't want to drink a beer blindly, ignorant to the efforts that went into making it so great. It's all about balance.
We need balance in the beer community as well. Drinking beers with only brewers or drinkers makes for a dull, monotonous experience. Beer, as complex as it is, can become a rather boring thing if only
seen tasted smelled experienced through one perspective. Beer needs a diversity of thought to be fully appreciated. So, there's plenty of room for both brewers and drinkers. Also, those of us who float somewhere in between.
Best Beers of 2012
Like making a year-end list of best records, creating a list of one's favorite is a silly yet necessary exercise. Silly because who really cares? Necessary because everybody's doing it. In no particular order, here are beers that were either released this year, discovered by me this year, or finally made sense to me this year. I apologize upfront for the IPA-heavy list. I'm a hop head and have trouble remembering what I thought about most sours, stouts, Saisons, etc.
Trappist Westvleteren 12
I've had Westy before, but it was a small sample at the end of an evening of craft beer debauchery. My bother "won" one of those lottos just to get a chance to buy and $85 six pack. He shared as family is wont to do over the holiday. Half a bottle was more than enough for me to fully appreciate what many consider to be the best beer in the world. I don't know about all of that or even if it's the best Belgian quad, but it's very very good.
Goose Island King Henry
This may have been released in 2011, but we never saw it locally. One evening in Lincoln, Nebraska at an excellent pizza joint offered me the opportunity to try this magnificent beast.
Bells Black Note Stout
I should not have had a glass of this beer, but I did. A sample was sneaked to me as I had to leave a Bells dinner. Imagine the molasses-fueled deliciousness of Expedition, mixed with the sweetness of a milk stout, and brewed in bourbon barrels. Even then, you can't imagine how glorious this beer tasted.
Three Floyds Zombie Dust
I love me some APA's but this one is on another level. So much Citra. So good.
Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA
Specially released IPA's from Stone are all over my list. This one featured an amped-up version of what was my epiphany beer, if that was even possible… Of course it was! This was as good a tribute as any brewery has ever brewed.
Stone Enjoy By 12.21.12 IPA
I actually preferred this one to the September version. It's possible this one was fresher, but both were consumed well before their best by dates. The idea of a ridiculously fresh IPA is nothing new, but this release made it a priority. There's no way one of these will ever sit on shelves too long. I hope they continue to brew Best By IPA's.
Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek (2008)
Obviously, this beer was not from this year, but I finally opened it and was glad I did. No one does lambics and sours like Cantillon. Probably no other more obvious sentence has ever been uttered regarding beer. Lou Pepe was no exception. I suspect the aging altered the beer, but I doubt I wouldn't have loved it a couple of years ago.
Boulevard Rye-On-Rye
This one is on the brain as I just picked up the latest release of this great Smokestack Series brew. I always liked this beer but never really got it until this year. I don't know whether that's trying so many inferior rye beers or just the ongoing development of my palate, but it's so rich and so good. Aside from Boulevard's Saison Brett (another all-time favorite that could make this list every year), this is one of the true Missouri craft beer treasures.
The Bruery 5 Golden Rings
I stumbled upon one of these at a Whole Paycheck the day before Xmas Eve and figured it would make the perfect Xmas dinner drink. And it did. No one outside of these guys and Stillwater consistently make beers that go better with food. I was lucky I paced myself of this one would have put me under the table.
Broadway Brewery Columbus Single Hop IPA
Never in my wildest dreams would I have figured a beer brewed here in Columbia, MO would make a list like this, but this one stacks up. I'm sure the freshness factor comes into play here, but I dragged a growler nine hours to Ohio, another three to Cleveland – all of it in a cooler that was probably not properly chilled and a growler that was not properly filled to the top – and the beer survived. Hell, it did better than survive. It was downright delicious.
Odell The Meddler Oud Bruin
I had nearly given up on Odell's special releases, but this one was decently priced and I like to try anything new in this style. The beer was beautiful from appearance to aroma to the all-important flavors within. It paired well with whatever I was eating that night. This beer renewed my faith in Odell.
Schlafly Tasmanian IPA (TIPA)
Schlafly has been experimenting with different varieties of hops, mostly through special keg-only releases and cask ale. Still, this one was a nice little surprise. It's one of those beers that nails the hoppiness hop heads are always after, causing us to want to drink one after the other.
Millstream Great Pumpkin Imperial Stout
This is how pumpkin ale should be done. Screw the pumpkin pie and sour varieties. Put your pumpkin in an imperial stout or Baltic porter! As an imperial stout, it's not my favorite. However, it made me rethink pumpkin beers just as I was writing them off.
Treble Kicker Beer New Slang Saison
My own Saison is easily one of my favorites. I upped the ante with this year's version for my partner's tenure celebration. More lemon zest and rosemary = a punch in the face Saison that is not playing around. Add in some dry-hopped Sorachi Ace hops and you have a lemon bomb/balm that needs to brewed again and soon.
Stone 16th Anniversary IPA
This one was met with many mixed reviews, but I loved the twist this one offered some lemon verbena and rye-induced spice that made for one of the more interesting/surprising beers this year.
Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA
Why isn't the white/wheat IPA more popular? Because no one wants to take on Deschutes' hold on hoppy beers. No one hops a beer like Deschutes. No one.
Tallgrass 8-Bit Pale Ale
This was my beer of the summer. Refreshingly hoppy goodness in a can carried me through record-setting heat, including a 30-mile bike ride.
Green Flash Rayon Vert
I'm not sure how long this beer has been around, but it made its first appearances in middle-Missouri earlier this year and I'm sure glad it did. Another twist on the IPA (this time with Belgian love), Rayon Vert became the "heavy" beer of summer.
Stillwater Debutante
What can I say that hasn't already been said before about Stillwater's excellence. I could put any of their beers on this list every year. Still, this one made its debut in 2012 and I for one welcome it to the best lineup of Saisons this side of Belgium.
Firestone Walker Wookey Jack
The Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale continues to dig out a niche in craft beer and Firestone's entry is no different than the best of the style.
Deschutes Chasin' Freshies
Did I mention Deschutes' mastery of the hop. This fresh-hopped IPA and its fresh-hopped APA cousin (Hop Trip) do what fresh/wet-hopped beers are supposed to: capture the essence of Dionysus' underwear… or something like that.
Mikkeller Royal Rye Wine
Most of the Mikkeller releases I enjoyed this year were not all that new to me. However, the experience surrounding the Royal Rye Wine made this possibly the most memorable beer of the year. Read more about it here.
What did I forget? What would you add? Disagree or agree with any of these?
Best Records of 2012
Here are ten of the best records I heard this year, in no particular order[1]
Sharon Van Etten – Tramp
Man, I loved last year's Wye Oak album and needed more this year. Luckily, Sharon Van Etten came through this year. Similarly to Wye Oak, Van Etten seemed to come from nowhere[2] to unleash a haunting rock record that grips you from start to finish. It didn't hurt that half of Brooklyn collaborated it behind the scenes or in the margins to help Van Etten deliver a punch to the gut. Still, it's defining moment for a musician I hope to hear more from in the coming years.
The Walkmen – Heaven
Nothing new here. The Walkmen release a record and I love it. Of course, it doesn't hurt that their records are always this good. Somehow a band known for songs about going out and drinking have eventually written one of the best albums about adulthood, having children and all that. There's a simplicity to The Walkmen formula that allows them to adjust to their current living conditions. These are just working stiffs trying to put some food on the table and clothes on the backs of their children. I can get behind that.
Titus Andronicus – Local Business
I'm not gonna lie. I really didn't care for this record upon the first listen. I was having buyer's remorse as I listened to it stream on Spotify, knowing that the new local record shop was holding a copy for me. Then, I gave it another try as the record popped up on several year-end lists. It's really a fantastic record as Titus Andronicus does what every New Jersey band does eventually: they all turn into Bruce Springsteen. There's nothing wrong with this of course. It's just a fact.
Cat Power – Sun
Yes, this has been a shitty year for Chan Marshall. However, that may mean she'll have to put out more records and tour whenever she can scrounge up the dough and good health to hit the road. Cat Power has evolved from record to record. Now, after some faux-bravado, one gets the sense that Marshall is becoming comfortable with her station in life, embracing her demons, health issues, and apparent financial stresses in making what is maybe her most honest record in years[3].
Believers – Believers EP
Someone will surely give me a hard time for praising Believers again, but the praise is legit. Although this EP feels somewhat incomplete[4], it brings with it the promise of great things to come. I fully suspect several of these tracks will reappear – possibly re-recorded/remastered – on an LP via some high-profile indie label.
Japandroids – Celebration Rock
Honestly, this would be my record of the year. It's a bit more uneven than 2009's Post-Nothing but it still contains that raw energy that only Japandroids can bring without an ounce of irony. This band makes me want to hit the bars and dance all night before the reality of my middle-class-mortgaged-parenthood comes crashing down on my fantasies. Still, it's nice to dream/reminisce once in a while.
Best Coast – The Only Place
On one hand, I don't know why I like this band. On the other, I don't know why I ask the first question. Like Japandroids, Best Coast has found a recipe that works. Unlike the "live like there's no tomorrow" message in a Japandroids' song, Best Coast wears their California lovin' on their collective sleeves. I appreciate this love for one's home state. Like Jenny Lewis and The Eagles, Best Coast won't let you forget where they're from and they'll make you want to live there as well.
Dinosaur Jr – I Bet on Sky
How is it that Dinosaur Jr. is writing and recording better music after they've reunited? Maybe it's that Lou Barlow has been allowed to come into his own. Maybe it's because J Mascis has mellowed his ego. Whatever it is, I hope they never stop making loud records.
Hospitality – Hospitality
Last year, it was Eleanor Friedberger. This year, it's Hospitality. Last year's Friedberger joint Last Summer had me longing for some straight girl pop rock from the City. Hospitality filled that void admirably. And when you close your eyes, you think it's Belle and Sebastian.
Dirty Projectors -Swing Lo Magellan
I really expected a letdown from Dirty Projectors, but this record – more straightforward than previous efforts – did not disappoint. I knew this as soon as I dropped the needle to reveal the opening track.
Discovered too late to form a proper assessment, but they're pretty great: Tame Impala, Diiv, Grizzly Bear, Metz
Overall, this year wasn't nearly as inspiring as last year's onslaught of great records. However, most of these would rank among last year's best. So, take that for what it's worth, which is basically nothing.
1Ranking art just seems to be so archaic, so overdone. So, I will refrain from it this year. Instead, I'll just tell you about ten records I liked.
2Meaning that, like Wye Oak, she hadn't released anything of note until this latest album which is great.
3In Cat Power years, that's maybe two records a decade.
4Let's face it, every EP feels imcomplete. They are akin to the 20-minute set. You get a taste of the very best, maybe with one stinker. Just when you're into it, it's over.
Enjoy By 12/21/2012
I, like Lenny Bruce am not afraid. The Mayans are wrong about this one. The world will not end by 12/21/2012 EST. And if it does, I live in CST and should have at least an hour to take care of some unfinished business[1].
Our time on this planet is finite. Beer has expiration dates, some sooner than others. Even vinyl records scratches and softens over time due to continual playing.
It's all coming to an end and we can't take any of it with us. So, why not indulge a little. Get that one more experience in before it all comes to an end.
It makes record collections and beer cellars obsolete. Unused blogs sit and digitally rot, losing readers by the minute.
We should enjoy the freshest of IPAs before they go bad. Don't let the hops fade. It's important to smell the fruit and pine aromas and to allow their bitterness to defeat your tongue. I enjoyed Stone's Enjoy By 12/21/2012 weeks ago and I'm glad I did. I've had too many IPAs who sat months on shelves outside their proper homes in beer coolers. My bottle barely spent any time on a shelf or even in a refrigerator. I mean, why wait when you know it's peaking now and will only fade as the days pass?
Anyway, here's a blog post to prove that I'm still around. In case, you know, the world comes to an end. And if it doesn't, maybe I'll post again sometime soon.
1Actually, due to family travel plans, I will be in the Eastern Standard time zone. So, I get no hour, well aside from the hours I'll have after Europe goes up in flames.
Dome Sweet Dome
This was posted elsewhere. I'm thinking I might get rolling again…
Like any college town, Columbia is home to many music venues offering a wide array of cheap entertainment. Aside from the regulars (Blue Note, Mojo's, Roxy's Eastside, The Bridge, etc.), there are a few DIY venues featuring another side of the scene not often seen or heard by the masses. Most of these venues are living rooms just north or east of campus. Another is the hairhole, which we've told you about in the past. A newer-ish DIY venue is The Dome.
Joe Dame's dome is also his home. (Sorry.) And by "dome", I mean to say that it's geodesic dome near Ashland at the end of a long, winding, gravel driveway. And by "home", I mean to say that Joe is renovating the dome in the woods to not only house some cutting edge music but also to serve as his house.
Late last week, I ventured out to The Dome in order to take in one of the more interesting lineups I've seen in CoMo in a while. There was Ben Chlapek and Neatly Knotted project plus collaborator Steve Ruffin – or the pleasant projectionist at Ragtag who wears those glasses. The duo opened with a lot of ambient noise. Quite enjoyable for a warmup without a proper name (Iced Wine, anyone?). The echoes they produced filled the rickety dome in the woods and warmed me up proper.
Out of the cornfields arose Curtain Co. with some chill waves (or is it chillwaves?) for the Domers to groove on. Another duo, this time the two musicians worked closely, pretty much shoulder-to-shoulder in delivering movement-inducing beats, causing heads to bob and even a few kids to hit the splintered dance floor.
Local regulars Enemy Airship played third with heaps of Broken Social guitars and keyboards to fill the Dames Dome's rafters with layers of guitar and synths. A long time ago, I wrote that this group (at the time known as Nonreturner) had found their sloppy, rock 'n roll selves. Well, along with that old band name went the sloppiness. The band is tight and professional and they just sound like they know what their doing. The guy who accompanied me to The Dome proclaimed them his new favorite local band and I can't really argue with that.
Finally, what made the night really stand out came in the form of three drummers from Lawrence, KS. Cloud Dog played with a fury I haven't seen since Lightning Bolt, but maintained an aesthetic closer to Animal Collective. The threesome was quite engaging with drum sticks flying everywhere as some hypnotic Tron-like imagery projected behind them. Look for Cloud Dog in a club near you.
All that happened in one evening at The Dome. Joe has done a great thing in some woods just south of town. You owe it to yourself to find an invite and/or ride to one of the more unique and homey venues in and around CoMo. Joe Dames' Dome cannot be missed.
When Life Gets in the Way
As you may have noticed, life gets in the way of my blogging. Of course, it gets in the way of many things.
There was supposed to be a beer tasting to attend Saturday, but I promised to DJ the Hairhole benefit. That didn't happen either as my kitchen sink decided to quit working. Saturday was spent trying every DIY method for unclogging a drain only to have to call Roto-Rooter on a Saturday night.
Then there was the birthday party for a five-year-old and friends came for dinner…
The heavens parted as we sampled some beer, including my two latest homebrews. The first was the New Slan Saison which after only one week in the bottle is fully carbonated. The same can't be said for the scotch ale, but I'm hopeful it will turn out fine by this coming weekend. (Then again, I'm not 100% sure I added priming sugar. Never homebrew when you've had a few beers already, kids.)
And when these friends took off, I hit the Blue Note for a Built to Spill show. I'm not sure why I still go to BtS shows. It's pretty much the same thing every time. Even the band seems to mail it in a bit, but at least it was something. A rock 'n roll escape from life. They played all or at least most of the "hits." It's old hat for them, but they didn't disappoint.
Maybe life will quit getting in the way and I'll find some inspiration sooner or later.
On the Homebrew Front
I have been brewing a lot lately and have plans for more in the near future. So, look at this as an update of sorts.
The oldest homemade beer I have right now the Belgian-style Quad I'm aging at the moment. Better known as "Guided By Voices", this sucker measures in at about 10.7% ABV thanks in large part to the maple syrup and candied sugar I added to the boil. I've had trouble with Belgian yeast strains in the past, but this beer was fermented in my Ale Pail with a heating belt wrapped around to maintain optimal temperature. The beer nearly exploded it was so active. It's still sitting in secondary at the moment, aging and developing in complexity. Later this fall, I'll bottle it and ration them out slowly.
The other two batches I have on hand are the second edition of New Slang Saison and a new scotch ale I'm calling "Tenured Dingo." Both beers were brewed for my partner's tenure celebration on the first. So, there will be tasting notes to share for those two beers soon.
New Slang Saison was the Saison I developed last year that included lemon zest, Rosemary, and the lemony Sorachi Ace hop. This year's version features several changes. First, I was able to secure leaf hops, hopefully allowing for a more fragrant beer, especially thanks to the dry-hop. I also added extra Rosemary to the the dry-hop, possibly making this a roasted chicken in a glass flavor profile. Finally, the biggest change occurred in the pitching of yeast. Last year, I used a smack pack of a Saison yeast that never really took off. I had to scramble and luckily friends gave me some slurry from their cider that finished off the beer nicely. This year, I just mixed a packet of dry yeast into the wort. It took off despite no starter. The beer has smelled nice throughout and should be ready in a couple of weeks.
Tenured Dingo Scotch Ale is named for my wife. She doesn't care for much beer but prefers a scotch ale and – more importantly – scotch. So, I soaked some oak chips in cheap scotch and added them to the secondary. The recipe features an odd hop schedule and an American yeast strain, mostly because I can do what I want. I can't wait to try it once it's carbonated.
Maybe most exciting of all is the plan to brew a coffee IPA. I've had good luck with IPAs, but coffee is a new frontier for me. A new friend roasts his own coffee and can manipulate several variables for us to get the exact flavor profile we want from the coffee. I'm looking at the moment to take a medium-roast coffee with tons of fruitiness. It will cold-brewed so as to lower the acidity. Then, we'll dump it into the secondary. One idea is to add the coffee to a split batch so that we can experiment with several varieties. We'll have to see, I guess.
Either way, there will be something to brew after the tenure party. So, there should be more on the homebrew front soon…

Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown is seeking to become Maryland's next governor.
Hundreds gathered on Friday at Prince George's County Community College to hear Brown make the official announcement for his gubernatorial bid.
Brown, who has served with two-term Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley since 2007, says that he is running to make Maryland better for more Marylanders.
Several elected officials, including Prince George's County Democrat and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, Prince George's County State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks and Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md., were in attendance.
Miller, who has not endorsed Brown, says the lieutenant governor has worked with O'Malley as a "true partner." He noted Brown's leadership in implementing the state's plan for complying with the federal Affordable Care Act and his military service.

It could be that Blizzard wants shamans to pay more attention to where they place their totems while leveling so that it becomes more innate in end-game where positioning totems in raids can be important to guarantee that everyone is getting the required buffs, as well as teaching the shaman where to place totems in actual combat situations (earthbind, magma, etc).
It could also be a partly left-over tank mechanic for shamans that was never built upon--that totems were a piece of your aggro-building, and them getting aggro, and thus having their own aggro-circle, was done intentionally (totem-pulls, taunting, etc).
Whatever the old reason now, it certainly applies less than it did several years ago. Totems' buff range has been increased dramatically, as I understand it; and by extension shaman-tanking has been more or less scrapped (sadly).

More than 2,000 people marched through downtown Miami on Saturday urging Congress and President Barack Obama to speed up enactment of an immigration reform law to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants in the country.
"We don't want any more blah-blah-blah, we want immigration reform now," community organizer Francisco Portillo of Miami-based Francisco Morazán Honduran Organization told a rally before the march set out from Little Havana's José Martí Park.
"Residence yes, deportation no!," added another rally speaker, Marleine Bastien of Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami (Haitian Women of Miami).
The crowd responded with chants of "Stop Deportations!" and "Immigration Reform Now!"
It was the biggest pro-immigration reform march in Miami since a series of rallies and demonstrations in 2006 drew thousands during the last big push in Congress for legalization of the undocumented — an effort that failed.
The march is one of the first major events nationwide in the run-up to possible congressional action soon on a proposal to overhaul immigration law.
Eight senators, including Florida's Marco Rubio, a Cuban American from West Miami, are now drafting a bipartisan bill that would legalize more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country.
A rally that is expected to draw tens of thousands of community, labor and immigrant rights supporters and immigrant families is scheduled for Wednesday on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Some of the demonstrators who participated in Saturday's Miami event said they plan to travel to Washington to attend that rally.
Saturday's rally at José Martí Park and the three-hour march through downtown Miami that concluded at the Torch of Friendship in Bayfront Park mirrored South Florida's cultural and ethnic diversity. Demonstrators included Haitians, Central Americans, Mexicans, Cubans, Asians — as well several prominent community leaders, including Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado and Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski.
Demonstrators cheered Wenski not only because he addressed them in Creole and Spanish, but also because he walked with them for the entire length of the march that stretched 20 blocks from Little Havana to Bayfront Park in downtown Miami under a blazing sun.
The event began at José Martí Park next to the soaring expressway ramps near the corner of Calle Ocho and Interstate 95.
After immigrant rights leaders like Bastien and Portillo addressed demonstrators, family members of undocumented immigrants who have been detained or deported by immigration authorities told their stories.
Marbelis Soza described how immigration authorities recently detained her brother, Noe, and took him to the Krome detention center for possible deportation to Nicaragua.
'Noe is the fourth person in my family to be facing deportation," she said.
Another speaker was María Salome, a 9-year-old Venezuelan-American girl whose mother, María Jose Urdaneta, was deported four years ago.
"This special and good woman, my mother, was unjustly deported in 2009," said María with great poise.
Regalado told demonstrators that Miami was a city of immigrants from its start.
'It is important we tell Washington there is a need for immigration reform," Regalado said .
"We are here to demand our rights as human beings," said Wenski, speaking Spanish. Then he switched to Creole, saying: "It isn't that immigrants are violating the law, but the law is violating the rights of the immigrants."
After the speeches, the demonstrators left the park and walked toward downtown in the shadow of skyscrapers along Southwest First Street.
As marchers passed businesses and office buildings, employees came out to wave at them and cheer them on. A man leaning out of an office window in a tall building repeatedly flashed victory signs with his hands at the demonstrators below.

California's Green Envirotech Corp. has chosen a soon-to-be-shuttered industrial plant in Sheboygan, Wis., as the site where it plans to convert auto shredder fluff into polypropylene and crude oil.
The company is negotiating to buy a 288,000-square-foot plant in the central Wisconsin city, located on the shores of Lake Michigan, according to Gary DeLaurentiis, chief executive officer of Riverbank, Calif.-based Green Envirotech. It is looking to buy the plant from International Automotive Components Inc. (IAC), which makes plastic parts for automotive interiors and is consolidating its operations and plans to shut down the Sheboygan plant.

Students from at least six Chicago public high schools held a walkout in protest Wednesday. They walked out of classes late Wednesday morning and gathered at the Thompson Center to protest proposed budget cuts in education.
The movement was initiated by students at Whitney Young Magnet High School.
Students are angry that their teachers are being laid off, classes are being canceled for the next school year and that class sizes may drastically increase.
They're demanding that the state legislature, the federal government and any other responsible party take action immediately to provide sufficient funding to avoid these cuts.

A.Paul Malko, an engineer with Foard Panel in West Chesterfield, N.H., responds: The frost lines (called frost ghosting or snow ghosting) you're seeing at the panel joints can have a few different causes, but I agree that air leakage isn't likely. Typically frost ghosting is caused by the presence of splines at the panel joints. You didn't say whether the exterior skins of the SIPs were splined together, but I'll assume they were, since that's most common. Most of the roof surface has a single layer of OSB (the top of the SIP), tar paper, and shingles. At the panel joints, however, there are two layers of OSB — the panel skin and a connecting spline — in addition to the tar paper and shingles (see illustration). Because of the extra layer of OSB, the thermal capacitance (or thermal mass, as it's often called) of the roof assembly is greater at the edges of the panels than in the middle. That means the roofing over a splined joint changes temperature more slowly than over the rest of the SIP. Frost ghosting is usually seen in the morning when frost or light snow is beginning to melt off the roof. The frost or snow melts first at the center of the panels, where thermal capacitance is lowest (meaning that particular section warms the fastest in the sun). Because the thermal capacitance at the splined joints is greater, it takes longer for the sun to warm the roofing over them, which is why you see lines of frost there. The same process happens in reverse in the evening: As the air cools, the center of the panel cools first, allowing frost to accumulate more quickly there than at the joints.
Frost ghosting isn't uncommon on SIPs with directly applied roofing, and I've never known it to reduce the durability of the roof. Frost ghosting also occurs on other types of wooden roof structures, but because structural insulated panels typically lose heat more slowly than conventional framed roofs, the ghosting may last longer.

As you know here at Shattered-Tranquility.net we're always on the lookout for new bands!
Today we stumbled across Rebellion, who just started their activities on February 23rd at Meguro Rokumeikan.
The members are:
Vocals - 昴 – subaru -
Guitar - 翔也 (Shouya)
Guitar & Violin - Shin
Bass - ENYA
They describe themselves as a hard rock / heavy metal band whose focus is on symphonic metal and melodic death metal. They also mention on their OHP that the they formed Rebellion with the ex-JackKpoT members plus a 'new' vocalist, Subaru.
No sound samples or anything on their OHP quite yet, but there are photos of each of the members, profiles and links to their blogs. I also think it's cool for a band to have a violinist and while I understand that this is becoming more and more popular, it's always cool to see.

SEASIDE PARK, N.J. (AP) - President Barack Obama says his administration will continue to support New Jersey in its efforts to recover and rebuild after a fire devastated part of a boardwalk just recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
Obama said in a statement Friday he was grateful for the work of the first responders and the safety of all involved after Thursday's boardwalk fire in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights.
The White House statement says the Obama administration will support state and local efforts to rebuild after yet another blow to New Jersey's residents and businesses.
The fire engulfed more than four blocks of a Jersey shore boardwalk that had been rebuilt just five months ago.
The cause of Thursday's blaze is under investigation.

Great job
This was a solid Lock Day flash you got here,the concept of it was funny having a political side that starred Locks and their silly & random personalities i especially got a kick out of the "ITS GONNA RAIN" line,overall i enjoyed it.
I appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
