Fremantle will forever deserve a place in the hearts of Australian craft beer lovers as it was here that the Sail & Anchor pub with its in-house Anchor Brewery first challenged the dominance of the big brewers and, subsequently, Matilda Bay and Little Creatures were born. Today, the coastal town is a must for any beer tourist, not only because it's a beautiful place to visit but because it's crammed with quality craft beer venues, including – since 2007 – the Monk Brewery & Kitchen.
The Monk's first beer left the brewery in January 2008 shortly after the restaurant opened; now they brew up to four times a week in summer and invite the public to pop their head into the brewery any time they like to have a look around and say "Hi" to the brewers. With a focus on preservative-free beers, they combine a year round range of regulars with limited releases that have included everything from a whiskey-soaked, date-infused Foreign Extra Stout named 'Adios Amigos' in tribute to a departing assistant brewer to a Cabernet Sauvignon barrel-aged smoked beer and coconut stout. As for the regulars, they saw the brewery shortlisted for Champion Exhibitor at the 2011 Australian International Beer Awards, where the Monk Mild won the trophy for Champion Reduced Alcohol Beer. Since then, they've picked up trophies and golds for their highly hopped beers too at the Perth Royal Beer Awards.
If you want to taste them, you have to head to the Monk itself, however, as they don't appear on tap anywhere else – except occasionally at the nearby Sail & Anchor. It's a trip worth taking as the Monk's a stylish venue in the heart of Freo, with wooden benches lining the beer garden on a strip filled with cafes, bars and restaurants that share a similar dedication to quality food and beer and boast a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere.
As for the Kitchen side of things, you'll often find the chefs experimenting with beer in food or beer and food matching as well as offering up weekly specials, including beer and bratwurst and paella on the terrace. Meanwhile alongside the Monk's beers on tap you'll often find a great selection of US imports, especially since USA Craft Beer Week in early 2011 for which they travelled to the States to oversee the importing of some of the country's finest beers. These were showcased at a series of special events, including dinners, tastings and tappings, that were in keeping with the Monk's love of a beery celebration, be it during their annual Oktoberfest or just because the sun's shining.
Monk Brewery & Kitchen (WA) Beers
The Regulars
Monk Mild
The most successful of a highly successful bunch at the 2011 Australian International Beer Awards, the Monk Mild took home one of five trophies won by WA brewers. The Champion Reduced Alcohol Beer is a light golden lager with a fresh hop aroma from the use of class Saaz hops. Designed to be crisp and clean on the palate, it's the brewery's session beer for hot summer's days.
Awards: Champion Reduced Alcohol Beer at the 2011 Australian International Beer Awards
Style: Mid-strength Lager
Strength: 3.5%
Monk Kolsch
One of Germany's classic ales with origins in Cologne, it's light, easy-drinking style that's often a good introduction for people new to craft beer. As The Monk say: "this is an ale impersonating a lager", doing so with a delicate balance of light fruitiness and a slightly spicy German hop character. A good session beer and match for the Kitchen's seafood dishes.
Style: Kolsch
Strength: 4.8%
Monk Wheat
Taking inspiration from the Belgian style of wheat beers – or witbiers – this is a pale coloured, medium bodied, unfiltered beer with a cloudy appearance. Typically of the style, it's fruity and spicy with hints of coriander, surprisingly potent and a refreshing option on a warm day.
Style: Witbier
Strength: 6.0%
Monk Rauch
Another beer in the Monk range that looks to Germany for inspiration, this one to the rauchbier – aka smoke beer – style. Described as "a robust, desert orange coloured ale displaying a strong smoked flavour balanced with a rounded malt fruitiness" it's a good match with hearty meat dishes or the Kitchen's rauch cheese.
Style: 5.3%
Monk Pale
The Monk's Pale Ale uses 100% Aussie malt and hops to create an easy drinking beer with a smooth bitterness. Try it with their Pale Ale Prawns.
Style: Australian Pale Ale
Strength: 5.0%
Monk Porter
The darkest of the Monk's regular range, this is a classic interpretation of the British porter, with a smooth chocolate nose, hints of roast coffee and a mild bitterness.
Style: Porter
Strength: 4.6%
The Monk Humorous Humulus
Former Mountain Goat brewer, The Craig, returned to his home state of WA recently to take up his first head brewer role at The Monk in Freo. With a fine roster of brewers (most of whom are now at Colonial in Margaret River) having inhabited the brewhouse at The Monk before, he has much to live up to and now has his first new creation on the bar. The Humorous Humulus – not a Dr Seuss reference, apparently – is based on the Latin name for the hop flower, large amounts of which were used in this brew. Given the success of The Monk's other hoppy beers, not least the ever present Chief IPA, this is no doubt a good thing. This time around, Craig turned the mash tun into a temporary hop back, allowing him to "infuse a heap of hop flavour without extracting too much bitterness". He did so with Willamette hop flowers rather than pellets "to extract more flavour and aroma without the heavy bitterness that can be associated with hoppy beers". The result, he says, is: "One hell of a hoppy beer!"
Style: Extra Pale Ale
Strength: 5.5%
Bitterness: 30 IBU
The Monk Dark Hefe
Hot on the heels of becoming the only Aussie brewery to win a gold medal for an IPA at this year's Australian International Beer Awards (and picking up a swag of other medals too), The Monk has launched a cross breed of a beer. The Dark Hefe came about during the process of creating the collab beer The Monk brewed with Eagle Bay for this year's GABS. Head brewer Paul Wyman wanted to see how using dark roasted malts with the Hefeweizen yeast would combine and the result was a beer he says "pours a beautiful dark brown or burnt toffee colour which is produced by using a decent amount of crystal and roasted malts, with a hint of banana and clove aromas on the nose. Upon drinking, the malts unleash a solid amount of dark coca and roasted coffee flavours which is balanced out with a gentle amount of canned banana flavour coming from the Hefeweizen yeast." Mmmmm… canned banana. He continues: "The beer has a traditional lower bitterness level and has been highly carbonated to assist in the gentle cleansing finish to the beer; should be a great combination now that the seasons have changed in Fremantle."
Style: Dark Hefeweizen
Strength: 5.8%
Bitterness: 15 IBU
The Monk Dunkel
They've been hop happy at Freo's Monk in recent months, with many of their small batch releases high on lupulin love. Not that this is a bad thing, with versions of their Chief IPA and the Three Fires Imperial IPA doing rather well for themselves at the most recent Perth Royal Beer Show. But with Autumn upon us, it's been time for Monk brewer Paul Wyman to take a turn to the dark (and malty) side to create a Dunkel. Based on the Bavarian Dunkelweizen style, the beer, says Paul, "has a delicious looking copper brown colour which dictates the extensive malt base this beer has been created from. From the mixture of speciality malts you should be tasting caramel, burnt toffee and possibly a hint of chocolate while on the nose your sensors should be picking up a indication of sweet clove and banana aromas." Said aromas come from the yeast that's traditionally use to produce normal hefeweizen (wheat beers), with a Dunkel (which translates from German as "dark" or "black") a more beefed up version designed to cater to the "malt heads". Like the brewer himself, in fact.
Style: Dunkelweizen
Strength: 5.5%
Bitterness: 15 IBU
The Monk Bandito
Tall and hairy – as fair a description as one could give of the brewing team at The Monk Brewery and Kitchen. Well, except it's no longer a team, after one half of the hirsute pair departed at the end of 2012 to chase his brewing dream in the States. However, before Steve Brockman departed, he worked with former partner in crime Paul Wyman to create this "reinvention of the Mexican Lager". According to Paul: "When most think of Mexican lagers, they think of pale straw coloured beers, low on fizz in a clear bottle, unceremoniously crowned with a lemon or lime to completely blanket out any slight flavour that the beer had. This is not the beer we've brewed, we've created a Vienna Style Lager." All of which begs the question: "Why the hell is it not called a Vienna Lager?" Because, says Paul, during the late 19th century, Austrian settlers took the style to Central America. At The Monk, they're calling it the Bandito as it was brewed on the last day of Movember and they'd rocked "two ridiculously filthy moustaches for the whole month" and, he says "the beer is pretty bad ass as well". Enlivening the mix alongside a fairly typical Vienna lager malt bill are Summer and Stella hops plus some Blue Agave Nectar added late into the boil. The result, says Paul, is some fruity hop aromas and, thanks to the nectar more usually found in tequila, "a burnt toffee nose, with a sweet, slightly sharp, 'smokey' honey flavour" adding complexity to the soft biscuit flavours of the malt. Probably don't need to stick a lime in this one…
Style: Mexican Vienna Lager
Strength: 5.7%
The Monk Chief Superhop Edition
In recent years, a number of hops have grown so popular that they have become unavailable to many brewers. This was the case for the guys at The Monk, whose American IPA, the Chief, used Citra. But rather than crawl up in a corner and cry into each other's arms, the brewers decided they'd create the Chief "Superhop" editions. In other words, take the same basic recipe and try brewing it with all manner of other hops while they waited for Citra to become available again. It all worked out rather nicely as their Amarillo version picked up the trophy for Best Ale Draft at the Perth Royal Beer Show, while the Centennial version also won So when Berg a gold medal at the same time as their Three Fires IIPA, brewed for their 250th batch, picked up a medal of its own. Since then, brewer Paul Wyman has knocked out a Simcoe edition and now this, featuring a mix of Amarillo, Centennial, Simcoe and Cascade. This signifies the end of the Superhop Editions, and Paul plans to play around with it until the mythical Citra returns.
Style: American IPA
The Monk Three Fires IIPA
The beer brewed by the masters of facial topiary at The Monk in Freo for the brewery's 250th batch was released on the first day of this year's WA Beer Week. It promptly won a gold medal at the Perth Royal Beer Show the very same day, suggesting it was worthy of marking not one but two occasions. The brewers sent us the story behind the beer, which you can read in full here. Alternatively, know that the three fires refer to Buddhist philosophy and are the huge IBUs (250), massive alcohol content and subsequent hangover. It's a hard-hitting beer that underwent 250 minutes in the kettle and is only being served in 285ml goblets – they're only thinking of your head, you know.
Style: Imperial IPA
Strength: 8.6%
Bitterness: 250 IBU
The Monk Chief "Superhop" Editions
Few Aussie craft brewers need encouragement to experiment. Yet in this case, the guys at The Monk have been playing around out of necessity. Their normal Chief (and American IPA) uses the uber-popular American Citra hops. Such is the variety's uber-popularity that they, like many others, have been struggling to get their hands on any. So, rather than crawl up in a corner and cry into each other's arms, Steve and Paul decided they'd create the Chief "Superhop" editions. In other words, take the same basic recipe and try brewing it with all manner of other hops while they waited for Citra to become available again. For them, it's a chance to play with new hops, for punters it's a chance to see what they do to a beer. First up was the Centennial Edition, which has been followed by an Amarillo version. This will be followed by the Zythos (a new hop blend finding favour with hop-lovin' brewers) edition, which should hit taps some time in October or November. Silver linings an' all.
Style: American IPA
The Monk Bounty
This Coconut Stout was the first seasonal concocted by the current brewing team at The Monk, Steve Brockman and Paul Wyman, just a month after they took up the reins in 2011. It has since picked up a silver at the Australian International Beer Awards and achieved instant popularity with punters in Freo, encouraging the brewers to push their creativity, and has also gone on to win praise from visiting brewers, particularly Christian from Denmark's Beer Here when he was in Oz. As a result, it became the only seasonal other than their Oktoberfest Marzen to be repeated. According to Steve: "It pours thick and dark with a mocha head, and anytime any pours one you can smell it straight away. The aroma is of roasted coconut, with hints of chocolate. The first sips fill your mouth with a bit of Dutch cocoa and light chocolate, before mid palate our 'liquid Lamington' shines, with a bit hit of coconutty goodness before finishing off with a well balanced 55 IBU, coming through as more of a dark chocolate bitterness rather than anything hops related." A bit of a perception changer for The Monk, Steve adds: It's a beer most people turn down at the sound of it. 'A stout? No I don't do dark beers.' Until they try it…!"
Style: Coconut Stout
Strength: 5.5%
Bitterness: 55 IBU
The Monk Marzen
Brewed every year for the Freo brewpub's Oktoberfest, this is their attempt to brew a beer as true to German traditions as they possibly can. Anyone who's visited The Monk will be aware that tank space is limited, hence they rarely brew lagers that require extra time in the tank. This beer, along with their trophy-winning Mild, is the exception, given a full two months cold conditioning in tank followed by another month of cold maturation. The result, say the brewers, "is a smooth, clean amber/orange lager with a rich maltiness and moderate bitterness. The slight hints of caramel and toffee come from the wonderful blend of traditional German malts. A gentle carbonation and quick dry finish makes the brew super sessionable, perfect for drinking by the stein load at our Oktoberfest celebrations." Many do, with the beer tapped in the traditional Munich Oktoberfest style, at the start of their annual celebrations.
Style: Marzen
Strength: 5.4%
The Monk Amber
The latest seasonal from The Monk has the brewers behind it excited. It's "fantastic", apparently, a single hop showcase, no less: an American amber ale bittered and dry hopped with NZ Nelson Sauvin. "We thought we'd use the rockstar hop-of-the-moment in this offering, and we've deliberately left it unfiltered to keep the good stuff in," says brewer Steve. Blending roasted malts with said hops, it's a fruit and nut affair with some caramel and passionfruit flavours in there too. "Both myself and Paul [his co-brewer] absolutely love it and are immensely proud of it." Blimey!
Style: American Amber
Strength: 5.5%

?Eastern drops grid season opener at Crawford County 39-13
Series tied at two
Last year, the Eastern Musketeers (0-1) started off their first ever varsity football season at home with an exciting win over another first time varsity squad, Crawford County. Crawford County (1-0) played host this year, returning the favor. Unfortunately for the Musketeers, the Wolfpack returned the favor, with a convincing 39-13 win Friday night.
The Wolfpack led 26-6 at the half, behind the stellar passing of Crawford County quarterback Daniel Allen, a senior. Allen ended up with 12 of 15 pass completions for the night, with a total of 244 yards, and four touchdowns. He had 1st half TD passes of 15, 66, and 45 yards.
"They've got a great quarterback," said Musketeers' coach Eric Robertson of Allen. "I think he dropped one pass tonight. The kid's got a rifle."

?Board of Commissioners quiz contractors about bids for restoration work on county courthouse
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 27 August 2008 00:00
? The Washington County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Wednesday afternoon, August 20, with all members present. The Commissioners unanimously approved the minutes of previous meetings and all claims.
Judge Robert Bennett addressed the Commissioners and introduced representatives from two construction companies specializing in restoration of historic buildings. Dennis Bolton of BJB Architectural Metal Services, Inc. and Tom Johnson of Keystone Restorations went into depth explaining to the Commissioners what their inspections revealed about damage to the bell tower of the courthouse and the recommended work to correct the problems.
All three Commissioners examined the bids and asked probing questions regarding the differences and similarities contained in the two bids. In summary, both companies plan to remove the aged and damaged mortar from around the sandstone masonry of the bell tower and replace the mortar with new, yet historically accurate, mortar and waterproof the exterior of the tower. The bid from Keystone Restorations included a step of applying urethane sealant to the mortar. Differences also were noted in how each contractor would actually get up to the bell tower and do the work. BJB stated that their procedure called for workers to rappel down from the open area above the clock face to do the work while Keystone plans to use a large crane/lift vehicle and work from buckets. According to Commissioner Lana Sullivan, the difference in the two bids is in excess of $56,000, BJB being the lower bid. The Commissioners asked for and received references from each contractor and plan to verify those as soon as possible. Regardless of which contractor is awarded the contract, work is expected to begin during the first week of September and completed some four to six weeks later.

I believe I owe all of you appologies for not answering all of your emails. They were all centered around this problem though it was actually quite simple how it happened: I made a small typo and left out the {/block:NewDayDate} block in the HTML portion of the code.
That is what caused the CSS to act strange and leave the rest of the posts transparent, or not related to the base container that keeps the posts. In other words, all your tumblelogs using this theme assumed that your were only displaying one post per page.
While this became a very annoying issue, I had just recieved an email yesterday from a Thomas Barthelet stating the exact problem and location of the missing HTML tag, and so I went in to fix it.
So, thanks to Thomas for putting in his time to help solve this issue! I hope that this hasn't discouraged many of you from using the theme still. As always, send any design suggestions, bug reports, or compliments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
(Yes, my email did change, hopefully this one is easier to remember.)
Looks like a few people managed to make an even more detailed twitter design. Be sure to download it and see how it works in comparason.
One of them has been obviously noticed the last few days and it appears to be a graphics bug. I have found no problems with the CSS or HTML code as I have not modified the code since the last update.
As far as it concerns the usage, I can only conclude it is either a browser problem or a bug in Tumblr. I have encountered a few of these already when I first created it, but it reverted back to its original layout over time.
If I may suggest for any FF users, please download Firebug and see if you can identify any code errors. In the meantime, I will do my best to solve this problem.
Thankyou for support,
The updated version that you may use. A few switches and modifications were made. Due to an unknown problem that I have yet to solve, the twitter badge was not aligned on the right sidebar, and was scrolled off the page. It is now on the search column and in it's place is where you can put any extra non-javascript content. You are still free to remove the badge and put anything above or below the search.
Please follow all instructions and notes in the code to ensure less problems.
This theme was inspired by Twitter users and was coded using the Fold theme as a base. I added a custom search, a Twitter badge (you can remove the code and put your own content if you'd like), and other neat features that match up with your average Twitter profile.

Oilers recall Petry, demote Plante
The Edmonton Oilers called up Jeff Petry today, sending back 2007 1st rder Alex Plante at the same time. Petry showed well in his last callup and stayed for an extended period; I expect he'll be an Oiler until the end of the regular season.
Petry has a nice range of skills and has shown an ability to move the puck up ice smartly. Keeping Petry in the minors made little sense given the mountain of evidence (in just three games) that Alex Plante isn't ready.
I wrote about the Plante crossroads before his callup and maintain that point of view now. Almost all of the things surrounding Plante's career this season–the healthy scratch's, the Teubert acquisition, the bumpy audition at the NHL level and today's demotion–are downward arrows.
Plante gives the team a physical defender with size and a prospect willing to drop the gloves at a moment's notice. The issues that have him on a plane today–mobility, reading the play in a timely fashion, not getting caught out of position–are long term items. Defense is a tough position to play and the organization won't have to make a decision on him for another year (he's RFA summer 2012). However, I think it's safe to say that Plante is in about the same spot as Taylor Chorney: at a crossroads with the club that drafted and signed them.
The winners in that battle among the blue drafted in 2005-07 have emerged; their names are Jeff Petry and Theo Peckham. Cody Wild is already gone, Danny Syvret too with Plante and Chorney running out of daylight.

Special Note
Two-Point Conversion in the KC-DEN game
NFL coaches typically adhere to what's known as the Vermeil Chart for making two-point decisions. The chart was created by Dick Vermeil when he was offensive coordinator for UCLA over 40 years ago. It's a very simple chart that simply looks at score difference prior to any conversion attempt and does not consider time remaining, with one caveat. It applies only when the coach expects there to be three or fewer (meaningful) possessions left in the game.
With just over 7 minutes to play, there could be three possessions at most left, especially considering that at least one of those possessions would need to be a KC scoring drive for any of this to matter. (In actuality, there were only two possessions left, one for each team.) Even the tried-and-true Vermeil chart says go for two when trailing by 5. But it's not the 1970s any more and this isn't college ball, so let's apply the numbers and create a better way of analyzing go-for-two decisions.
Except for rare exceptions I've resisted analyzing two-point conversion decisions with the Win Probability model because, as will become apparent, the analysis is particularly susceptible to noise. Now that we've got the new model, noise is extremely low, and I'm confident the model is more than up to the task.
First, let's walk through the possibilities for KC intuitively. If KC fails to score again or DEN gets a TD, none of this matters. Otherwise:
Chiefs Crawling Drive, Come Away With Nothing
The Chiefs lost to the Broncos 24-17 on Sunday and had a chance to at least tie the game at the very end. Kansas City kept Peyton Manning off the field for an enormous chunk of the second half. The Broncos offense had only two drives after halftime (not including the final kneel down), one for a punt, one for a field goal, totaling just 8:51 in possession. The longest drive came from the Chiefs at the very start of the second half, where they ran 23 plays, taking 10 minutes off the clock... and ultimately missed a field goal. This got me thinking, how does drive length (in minutes) affect the probability of a team scoring?
First, here's a look at the ridiculous drive using our Markov model:

Simulating the Saints-Falcons Endgame
I previously examined intentional touchdown scenarios, but only considered situations when the offense was within 3 points. In this case NO needed a TD, which--needless to say--makes a big difference. Yet, because NO was on the 1, perhaps the go-ahead score was so likely that ATL would be better off down 3 with the ball than up 4 backed-up against their goal line.
This is a really, really hard analysis. There's a lot of what-ifs: What if NO scores on 1st down anyway? What if they don't score on 1st but on 2nd down? On 3rd down? On 4th down? Or what if they throw the ball? What if they stop the clock somehow, or commit a penalty? How likely is a turnover on each successive down? You can see that the situation quickly becomes an almost intractable problem without excessive assumptions.
That's where the WOPR comes in. The WOPR is the new game simulation model created this past off-season, designed and calibrated specifically for in-game analytics. It simulates a game from any starting point, play by play, yard by yard, and second by second. Play outcomes are randomly drawn from empirical distributions of actual plays that occurred in similar circumstances.
If you're not familiar with how simulation models work, you're probably wondering So what? Dude, I can put my Madden on auto-play and do the same thing. Who cares who wins a dumb make-believe game?
Analyzing Replay Challenges
Most challenges are now replay assistant challenges--the automatic reviews for all scores and turnovers, plus particular plays inside two minutes of each half. Still, there are plenty of opportunities for coaches to challenge a call each week.
The cost of a challenge is two-fold. First, the coach (probably) loses one of his two challenges for the game. (He can recover one if he wins both challenges in a game.) Second, an unsuccessful challenge results in a charged timeout. The value of the first cost would be very hard to estimate, but thankfully the event that a coach runs out of challenges AND needs to use a third is exceptionally rare. I can't find even a single example since the automatic replay rules went into effect.
So I'm going to set that consideration aside for now. In the future, I may try to put a value on it, particularly if a coach had already used one challenge. But even then it would be very small and would diminish to zero as the game progresses toward its final 2 minutes. In any case, all the coaches challenges from this week were first challenges, and none represented the final team timeout, so we're in safe waters for now.
Every replay situation is unique. We can't quantify the probability that a particular play will be overturned statistically, but we can determine the breakeven probability of success for a challenge to be worthwhile for any situation. If a coach believes the chance of overturning the call is above the breakeven level, he should challenge. Below the breakeven level, he should hold onto his red flag.
Eagles Escape Embarrassment
Let my bias not be unknown, I am an Eagles fan. Watching Nick Foles fumble twice, throw an interception, and Chad Henne connect with rookie Allen Hurns twice for touchdowns -- all in the first half -- was one of the more frustrating ways to start the season. The Eagles were lucky to only be down 17-0 at halftime. On the opening drive of the second half, Philly converted twice and Nick Foles connected with Darren Sproles for eight yards on 3rd-and-9, bringing up a 4th-and-1 at the Jaguars 49-yard line.
Chip Kelly is known for his progressive thinking and he didn't hesitate -- calling for a hurry-up, one of the first times the Eagles really played up-tempo in the game. The Jaguars safeties got crossed and a huge gap opened up as Darren Sproles ran untouched for a 49-yard score. The Eagles would not look back and ultimately went on to win "handily," 34-17. Had the Eagles not converted, though, Kelly would likely have been ridiculed for his call as it could have effectively ended the game (dropping Philly's win probability to 5.4%).
Let's look at the fourth down call, taking into consideration the relative strength of the two teams.

Crumbs Bake Shops are no more. The cupcake maker told workers it was shutting down all stores by the end of business on Monday.
Crumbs was founded on the Upper West Side in 2003, selling gourmet cupcakes and is credited with pioneering the cupcake craze in New York City. The family-owned shop was bought by a shell company in 2011 and went public that June.
Since going public, Crumbs has faced serious financial problems. In 2012, Crumbs lost $10.3 million, according to securities filings. In 2013, Crumbs lost an additional $18.2 million on top of their 2012 losses.
The stock plummeted below 30 cents in June, prompting Nasdaq to suspend Crumb's stock from the exchange because it didn't meet the minimum stockholders equity requirement.
165 employees and 655 part-time workers were let go as a result of the shutdown.

Sarah Hughes isn't a willowy teenager anymore, and she laughingly acknowledges she can no longer perform those dazzling triple jumps that helped her win the gold medal in figure skating at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
But that hardly means she's not looking forward to skating again, at the site of her greatest triumph.
"We're celebrating something that was great," she said. "I'm not talking about me, but about the country, and for athletes. … Salt Lake City was five months after 9/11, so for the country to come together and have such a great Games I think really lifted the country's spirits in ways people didn't think" sports could do. "I was happy to be a part of it."
Now a 26-year-old Yale graduate, Hughes plans to perform during the 10th anniversary celebration "A Tribute to Salt Lake 2002" ice show at EnergySolutions Arena on Saturday night, along with fellow gold medalists Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, of Canada, the pair of skaters at the center of the judging scandal in 2002.
Except for possibly one brief visit the year after her victory — she can't quite remember — it will be Hughes' first trip to Utah since the Olympics.
And credit her for making it happen.
Organizers originally just asked her simply to "come and wave" during the 10th anniversary events, she said. "And I thought, 'But you're having a show there. Wouldn't it be better if I came and skated a number?' They said, that would be really great, but can you? I said, I think I can pull it off."
That meant having to focus a little harder on her skating in recent weeks, since Hughes has not skated competitively for years.
Instead, she has focused mostly on her education and a blossoming career as a writer and television broadcaster. She's working on a book about the seven American women who have won figure skating gold medals at the Olympics, and has been active in social causes, such as promoting breast cancer prevention and encouraging children to learn to skate in conjunction with U.S. Figure Skating.
"My message is about fun," she said. "It should always be about fun.
"I remember that I started skating because it was fun," she added. "I practiced because I loved it. And that's what I wanted my Olympic experience in Salt Lake to be. I just wanted to enjoy it and have a good time. I put in all the work and all the training and dealt with all these things. That's what I wanted it to be. And I think that's probably why I'm looking forward to going back, because the skating was fun, and the people who were there and shared my experience are who made it great. It wouldn't have been the same if I did it somewhere else. Doing it in Salt Lake City really made a difference."
Hughes unexpectedly won gold when veteran favorites Michelle Kwan and Irina Slutskaya both stumbled in the free skate, while Hughes landed a record seven triple jumps to move up from fourth.
Her stunned reaction to learning the scores in the dressing room — mouth wide open, eyes popping out of her head as her coach tearfully hugged her — became one of the signature moments of the Olympics, though Hughes doesn't remember that so much as the end of her riveting performance.
"I remember right after I finished and before I got off the ice, I turned around to take it all in," she said. "We prepare our whole lives for those final four minutes, and it goes by so quickly. So before I got off the ice, I turned around — I'll never forget, just looking at everybody on their feet and standing and that warmth in that moment. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I knew it, and I really wanted to take it in, and I appreciated it."

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Lee Coffee allowed Action News 5 into his courtroom Tuesday, but he could not comment on camera on a pending case or the highest bond he's ever handed down."The bond that Judge Coffee set was $100 million," said Assistant District Attorney General Kate Edmands.She heard his bond ruling first hand Tuesday morning."It is the highest bond I've ever heard of personally," said Edmands. "And I've been prosecuting eight years.".Christopher Williams, 18, was on the receiving end of the record-breaking bond. He was in Coffee's courtroom on a number of violent felony charges allegedly committed while he was out on a previous bond of $35,000."Robbery, carjacking, attempted second degree murder," Edmands said.We're told Williams testified that he would sit down and stay out of trouble if allowed a reasonable bond."And I think Judge Coffee's quote was I'm going to set a bond so that even if your family wins the lottery, you won't make the bond," Edmands said.Under Tennessee law, judges don't have the authority to withhold bond in any case other than capital murder. That's even if a defendant is believed to be a flight risk or risk to society."And of all the judges, Judge Coffee is very mindful of protecting the community from these repeat violent offenders," Edmands said.So, this may not be the last big bond Judge Coffee serves up.

Dr. Laura Y. Ki's Ratings
I came to Dr. Ki initially for a tooth ache, she was able to do my root canal the same day and I was out of pain immediately. She is really good at explaining treatment to someone like me that doesn't know anything about teeth. She is not only my Dentist, but my whole family comes to her now. I highly recommend her. Two thumbs up for her and her staff!!

Probably the best dental office I have ever been to. You feel welcomed from the second you work through the door. The entire office is spotless and always very organized. My favorite thing about the place though has to be the staff. The Office Manager (Dina) is wonderful. She makes sure that you never leave unsatisfied or with any unanswered questions. Overall I recommend this Office to anyone who is looking for a top notch dentist, amazing service, and a dental office that truly cares for it's patients outside of their dental work.

My first trip to see Dr. Ki was fine. After that she only saw $ signs in my mouth. I had a second dentist opinion on one of my teeth that needed a root canal and she said no we'll just cap the tooth. That didn't work. Then she said it's because I grind my teeth and I have to buy a mouth guard from her for $500.00. I explained I use night guards, the ones you can buy at walmart for $10-50.00, and my mouth was still in agonizing pain. I was in so much pain I missed work for 3 days in a row until I paid her the $500.00 for the "special" night guard. Once I received it she had a follow up appointment at which point she asked if she put a cap on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOOTH! I mean opposite sides of the mouth! When I said NO she replied,oh....well you might need a root canal. She also finds it necessary to take X-rays at all appointments. I haven't been back to her since, and I just received a bill from her from 10 MONTHS AGO! I would never recomend using her as a dentist. She was terrible.

I went to Dr. Ki for a couple of fillings and a root canal, I really have to say she did an amazing job. From the moment I walked in her office, I felt really welcomed by her staff and Dr. Ki shows great concern for her patients. In her busy schedule she made time to do my treatment as quickly as possible because I was having pain. I recommend Dr. Ki to anyone that's looking for a caring dentist.

Dr. Ki is the worst dentist. When I went for my initial appt, she gave me a terrible diagnose on my teeth. She recommended at least 5 treatments for my teeth. She also asked me if I brushed my teeth I couldn't believe she asked me that question. My previous dentist was a good friend of mine and she had just whitened my teeth a few months before relocating to VA. Dr. Ki recommended that I have a deep cleaning for my teeth. She suggested doing one side of my teeth for deep cleaning. Her treatment was brutal, and I was in so much pain. My mouth gums bleed for close to two hours. I had to call the office back and ask why? She also recommended that treatment for my husband. After that experience, I found a wonderful new dentist. Just as I had suspected, I did not need the 5 treatments as she quoted. She underestimated me, and thought she could scam my family. I would not recommend her at all. She is a terrible dentist that is out to make money. She is not concerned about her patients.

FYWI's Fanspiration Friday Winner: Vintage Whimsical Inspired Reception
Photo Credits: Hanging Decor/Cake/Bridesmaids/Chairs/Flower Centerpiece/Drinks/Table Number Decor/Colorful Rug/Couple & Vintage Couch
Requested By: Cassidi B.
Cassidi's Vintage Whimsical Inspired Reception was the winner of last weeks FYWI Fanspiration Friday contest. I love the idea of vintage furniture at weddings and the vintage couch in the inspiration board matched the color scheme perfectly. Colorful streamers, like the ones attached to the bride & groom chairs, is a way to portray the whimsical side of the theme. I also included a stream-like rug that matched the color scheme and I like it because I can picture combining 4 together and using them for an indoor photo booth backdrop or as decor for the candy bar table that Cassidi plans to have. It'll make a great DIY project!
Thank you for your submission! The board will be posted on the sidebar tonight until it is replaced next week by this week's inspiration board winner. Voting for this week's winner has begun and ends on Sunday!! Click here to vote.
I found my work appropriate Halloween costume.
We are having a baby!!
I am a few days away from week 14. We were so thrilled to see our baby last night at our second ultrasound. The baby is now the size of a large peach and growing quickly.
We are thrilled to spread the news and announce to Tumblr that I am going to have a baby come February 2012!!

GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) -- A new poll by WZZM-13 shows almost all of Michigan's ballot proposals are losing support among voters.
Out of six ballot measures only one, Proposal One, asking voters to keep the emergency manager law, was faring well. According to the survey, 43-percent would uphold that law, up seven points from September.
Proposal Two would guarantee collective bargaining rights, however only 43-percent support that measure, down from 50-percent last month.
Proposal Five requiring two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate to raise taxes, is faring even worse. Only 38-percent of voters are in favor of the plan, down from 51-percent.

A Parents' Primer on Patience
Keeping your cool when you have kids
Understanding Expectations
Another point pertinent to patience is the fact that our expectations may exceed what our children are actually capable of. "A toddler in an itchy tux at a family wedding isn't going to be able to sit through the after-dinner speeches happily," says Gary Walters, a professor emeritus in the psychology department at the University of Toronto. "And if you expect him to, you end up in a vicious circle of misery. You've set yourself up for losing your patience. Your kid loses it, and people look at you. That kind of public pressure is awful," he says. Develop the habit of devising back-up plans for any potentially explosive situations, and then, just as importantly, allow yourself to use them!

Flipkart, India's top e-commerce portal which was started by ex Amazon employees has started a new service called "Flyte" which will offer DRM free MP3 downloads for as low as Rs. 6 per song. Over the next days, Flyte might also start offering downloads for software and ebooks in future.
Flyte currently offers close to more than 150,000 unique albums and the music fits across 55 languages and 700 genres and sub-genres.
One of the most important point to note about these downloads is, that the songs are in MP3 format and DRM free, which essentially means that you can play the song on any digital music device. With Flyte, users can download the same song 4 times.
With the launch of Flyte, Flipkart has also launched a digital wallet service which will allow users to load their virtual currency wallet by paying real money and then using the wallet currency for later purchases.
Other key points worth noting about Flyte are
- Flyte allows users to preview the song which they wish to purchase. User can preview and listen to the 30 seconds clip of any song for free.
- Flyte's "Buy using Wallet" service is very nice for micro purchases of small amount.
- Songs are available at 64kbps, 128 kbps and 320 kbps (CD Quality).
- Flipkart's 30-day Replacement guarantee is not applicable for Digital MP3 Downloads.
- You will need a Flipkart userid and password for downloading songs using Flyte.
- You can purchase the DRM free music only from Flipkart.com website & Flyte Music App and only within the territory of India.
Personally, I am fairly optimistic about Flyte and the digital download service. The price point of the songs seems just right and given the fact that with digital goods, the production / manufacturing cost is almost zero; it makes sense for Flipkart to venture into the digital goods business.

A Ku Klux Klan flag is proudly flying in A South Florida neighborhood. Its presence is causing tension among neighbors. The men behind it say they are just exercising their first amendments rights, but other say it's just a message of hate.
Kelsey Hayes owns one of two homes in a West Boca Raton neighborhood that has flags associated with the Ku Klux Klan in their front yards. WSVN reports neighbors are outraged by the sight of the flags that have been reportedly there for almost a week. Residents said Hayes not only raised the flag then but even displayed a noose in his front yard.
"You are a racist pig," said neighbor Susan Wantz. "That flag represents that you are a racist pig!"
"I don't care about other people's opinion," said Kelsey Hayes.
After Hayes took his flag down Tuesday night, the homeowner said he would put it back up the next morning, and it went up again.
His wife, Marla Curley, was a little more vocal, though. "I'm fat, man, and if people call me names and look at me funny, I'm like, eh, shrug it off."
But anger over the flag finally boiled over when Wantz walked by. She pointed and reiterated, "That flag represents that you are a racist pig ... You're not welcome." Wantz continued to scream across the street saying, "What is wrong with you people?! I've been here for 32 years. You don't belong here! Tan America!"
Curley replied back, "I don't even know what that means."
"Tan America! Thirty-two years, this is my neighborhood! Not yours! If you don't like it, get out! Go where this kind of crap is taken!" screamed back Wantz.
Wantz then explained to the media, "Tanning of America means there is not a box on any form that says you are black, white, Asian, Eskimo, whatever. This is America!"
Neighbor Karina Santamaria said, "I just think that is crazy. My children walk down the street. I'm Spanish, to me that is very uncomfortable."
Resident Margaret Martin, who lives across the street, calls her neighbor's actions backward. "It's like I'm going back in time. Like what my ancestors and family went through, so do I have to worry if I'm gonna get a burnt cross on my lawn?" said Martin.
Even worse, she said, Hayes has been alleged to have tried to recruit area kids. "Now you're recruiting kids? That's sick."
When asked why he put the flags back up after negative reaction from neighbors, the homeowner responded, "Because it's my right, I can." Hayes said, "If I wanted attention I would drop my drawers and run down the street. I'm not looking for attention."
Devin Heilberg is a teen who lives in the neighborhood. "He said, 'Read these articles,' like, KKK books-- I forgot what it was called," he said, "and the website was, I think, www.kkk.com."
Several blocks from Jones, there is that other home that displays the same KKK flag and also a sign that read: "Warning: Mess with the Klan and the results will be ugly! Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." No one at the home would answer knocks on the door. However, a man stepped forward to speak in defense of his neighbor. "If you go into someone's yard... if you come into my yard, I'm gonna bite your head off."
Some of the neighbors are now wearing shirts that read, "Mess with me, you mess with the whole trailer park."
After the man, who did not give his name, was corrected that the sign did not say anything about a yard but referenced "the Klan," he said, "Well, maybe you shouldn't mess with the Klan."
That sign was covered hours later with a towel, but the KKK flag still flapped in the wind below a United States flag, on a pole planted into the front yard of the home.
Back at Hayes' residence, the noose once seen hanging under a tent, was taken down and sat on a chair, not far from a sign stating, "Members wanted."
Most people neighbors don't seem interested in joining.
"That stands for hate. Hate! There's no room in America for hate!" She continued to scream. "It's ignorant! It's ignorant! You are stupid! People like you don't belong here. Its people like you that give trailer parks a bad name!"
Another neighbor said there have been complaints filed with the neighborhood association, but so far, that association says, there is nothing they can do about it because no laws have been broken.
The family took the KKK flag down Wednesday night. When asked whether the flag would be put up again, Hayes's wife Marla Curley said, "No, no. no. no oh no. How can I emphasize that? No."

SOUTH GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - Two New York boys are hospitalized after a strong gust of wind blew an inflatable bounce house high off the ground while they were playing inside it.
Police tell The Post-Star of Glens Falls that a 10-year-old girl and two boys, ages 5 and 6, were in the structure at a South Glens Falls townhouse community Monday afternoon when it broke loose from stakes holding it down.
Officers say the girl was near the door and fell as it became airborne, suffering minor scrapes.
One boy was thrown 30 or 40 feet, the other about 20 feet, landing on the back of a car. The bounce house was at least 15 feet off the ground when the boys flew out.

Mining stocks: 10 reasons it's time to be brave
The next several months will offer the opportunity to buy on the cheap.
I used to half joke with some of my investing friends that the best time to buy stocks is during or right after a crash. Think 1987, 2000-2002, 2008-2009, and now -- perhaps gold miners?
Well, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's examine evidence of a "crash." I like to use crowd behavioral, empirical, and technical evidence in combination.
1. In a recent money managers' poll, virtually nobody was bullish on gold or gold stocks, and more than 80% of those polled were bullish on the S&P 500 ($INX) and U.S. stocks.
2. The percentage of dumb money traders (non-reportable traders) in the futures markets with short positions on gold is at all-time highs; they tend to be very long at the highs and very short at the lows.
3. The insider buying ratio of gold mining stocks to sellers is running over 10 to 1, the highest level since October 2008 when gold bottomed out at $685 per ounce from $1030 highs. Quoting Ted Dixon, CEO of Ink Research, "Such a high level of buying interest among officers and directors within their own businesses in the resource sector has correctly foreshadowed a recovery in share prices in the past: That high point of nearly five years ago came about six weeks before the venture market bottomed on December 5, 2008… While the excitement that surrounded mining stocks as recently as two years ago has waned, experienced value investors recognize that such periods of investor neglect often give rise to the best deals." (Source: TheGlobeandMail.com)
4. The ratio of the HUI Gold Bugs Index to the S&P 500 is at multi-year lows and in near crash mode on the charts. The RSI (relative strength index) on the weekly charts is at 10-year lows at -13.71, which is off-the-charts' low!
5. Most trading message boards I view, such as Stocktwits and others, are universally bearish on gold (GLD) and gold stocks.
6. Gold is in a wave B or Wave 5 down re-testing the 1322 lows, which we have discussed on Minyanville for weeks as very likely if 1470 was not taken out on the upside; this is a normal sentiment pattern and re-test.
7. Gold has been in a 21 Fibonacci month correction pattern off a 34 Fibonacci month rally from 686-1923. In August 2011, I penned articles from 1805 right up to 1900, warning of a massive wave 3 top forming. Everyone was bullish, and now it's the complete opposite.
8. Currency debasement continues around the world with negative real interest rates. This is bullish for gold once this correction has run its course.
9. Hulbert Digest Gold Sentiment index is at an all-time low.
10. Gold-silver put to call ratios are at all-time highs.
I could go on and on with headlines and such, but you get the idea. This is the same type of sentiment I wrote about on the stock market on February 25, 2009, here is that article from 321Gold -- and nobody on the planet was bullish.
Below is a chart showing the Bullish Percent Index for Gold Miners. As you can see, the last time we were at 0% was in late 2008 when gold had bottomed out and insiders were also buying like crazy as they are now:
The GLD ETF chart also shows a likely re-test or slightly lower of the 1322 futures lows of April, when insider buying hit 10-year record levels:
