An author of alleged "children's books" needs to wash his mouth out with soap and find a new airline after dropping the F-bomb aboard an Atlantic Southeast Airlines flight.
The Detroit News reports Brooklyn author Robert Sayegh is thinking about suing the Delta Connection carrier.
According to the article, the 37-year-old, was flying from Kansas City to Newark when a flight attendant overheard him ask "What's taking so [bleeping] long to close the overhead compartments?"
The plane taxied to the runway but returned to have Sayegh forcibly removed.
Sayegh told the Detroit paper he used the F-word twice.
"I'm like, 'Are they throwing me off the plane? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever been through in my life. It's embarrassing."
Sayegh, who's also a TV producer, said he is not "a crazy maniac" and that in New York "we curse as adjectives."
Oh well, at least he didn't drunkenly flirt his way into the news.
The airline says the incident is under investigation.
Sayegh said would never intentionally disrupt a flight: "My cousin was killed in 9/11. A lot of friends died in 9/11. I would never come close to doing anything like that."

On a Delta flight a few weeks ago from SF to Atl I was sleeping in an aisle seat when a flight attendant forcefully (and accidentally) ran the corner of a large (loaded) metal beverage cart into my flexed knee. Being asleep, I was momentarily unaware of where I was and as I came to my senses I shouted out a very profane phrase. Very profane. My knee swelled up instantly and there was little I could do to relieve the pain except grab my knee and rock back and forth. It hurt a great deal. I stopped cursing after my initial outburst, but no one threatened me for saying such vile things. That was wise. Even though they expressed no remorse for having injured me and didn't even offer me a bag of ice for my swollen knee, I elected not to sue them. Had they chided me for cursing, I would not have made that decision and might own a sizable portion of Delta airlines today. My point: there is justifiable cursing and although the airlines threw this person off the flight–they didn't mess with me. I was in no mood to be messed with and they knew it.

I found his biography at Amazon to be completely free of this necessary "adjective". I assume it was there until someone reminded him that it may offend some of the people whose money he wanted. He should edit his biography at Amazon if he really thinks it is necessary to use that "adjective".

The 'F' word is used commonly like 'a', 'and' and 'the'. Get over yourselves people and Atlantic Southwest. I wonder often what the 'f' takes so long on planes too!

@ SIM: If your knee was able to be struck by the cart, your knee was not in your seating area. Therefore, Delta would not be liable for your little ouchie. Passengers are expected to keep their hands, arms, legs, feet and junk out of the aisles.

Krystle, where on Earth did you get your law degree? A gumball machine. LOL. You are supposed to keep arms, etc, out of the aisle but they are also supposed to be prudent to not ram the cart into you. They would be liable as they would have clearly seen that part of his body would obstruct their path.

She overheard him?………. Maybe she needs to focus on real problems and her job she has to do. He hurt no one and posed no threat to anyone. This is insane. I wish the only thing I had to concern myself with is someone elses fowl mouth.. No wonder flights cost so much. She just cost delta high $ fuel because of a word she doesnt like, also wasted alot of peoples time. Oh but she got paid.

2 sides to the story!! I'm sure he did not say it under his breath… he probably carried on.. if the flt was taxi-ing out why was he still swearing???
June 14th, 2011
3:36 pm
he was probably taken off because he had alcohol on his breath and being disruptive.. they don't know when his last drink was….. and once you get in the air it's a little late to try to controll a situation!! Read Below.. I found it in another paper… all Dr. Robert Sayegh's words!!!
The flight, which was taxiing on the runway, turned around at Detroit Metro Airport and police boarded the flight to escort Sayegh off. "I couldn't even believe when they pulled up and the cops got on," Sayegh told the paper.
Sayegh admits he was hungover on the flight, and denies that the F-word was directed at anyone. "I don't want to come off like I curse all the time. We use curse words just like adjectives. But the thing is, I never said it out loud towards him. He just happened to be right behind me," Sayegh says of the flight attendant.

Some people really need to get over themselves. I can understand not liking the use of fowl language in public. I don't either, but saying that it was right to remove the guy from the plane is ludicrous at best. There are a lot of things I dislike, including pathetic southern twangs, which I find to sound even more uneducated than the occasional F bomb, but I wouldn't want someone removed from a public place because of it. The only reason people should be removed from a plane is that they are a threat to the well being of other passengers. The guy has every right to sue and I hope he does. Delta needs a lesson.

@ Big deal – lol, Duke actually. And I get paid six figures to defend big companies from idiots that don't understand that airline attendants are under no obligation to peek around those big carts to tuck in your wittle arms and legs.

@ Neon Nights: He has every right to sue, but he would be wasting his time. Delta can throw someone off if they feel that person is not in conformity with their agreement when the ticket was booked. This includes conduct, which encompasses language. No freedom of speech violation – that only applies to government.

Some ppl really are having to long to put their anyways to big bags in the overhead bin or try to stuff it under the seat infront of them. Gosh pay those 25$ and it goes in the planes belly! Not that hard isn't it? Thumbs up if you hate fat guys beside you in the plane!!! They need to pay me back half of my ticket and charge this fat guy b/c i was just using half the seat!!! I want Mr. Makeys "it"!!!

This is and example of the of a large group of people in society that have changed their language to express themselves in a vulgar way. I have had men and women like him who have limited vocabulary that I just tell them I have a picture of my children in my pocket and asked them to please not talk like that around me. Most of the time they just stop talking in such terms. I have been on planes when everyone was in such a hurry to load their bags in the overhead that they seem to not remember that the plane will take off only when the Captain tells them to fasten their seat belts. Why get so up set that you make a fool of yourself and get kick off the plane.

Words only have as much power as you give to them. Use whatever language you want… it doesn't bother me.

Summary of Unconscious Scoring Summary of Unconscious Scoring Reviews for Unconscious Scoring An Excerpt from Unconscious Scoring
Discover the Unconscious Scoring [Deluxe Edition]
"The Pro Tours's hottest coach" (Golf Digest) scores the perfect follow-up to his bestselling golf guide, Unconscious Putting.
Dave Stockton is hotter than ever. The 2011 U.S. Open winner, Rory McIlroy, studied with the renowned instructor and two-time former PGA champion, and credits Stockton's teachings as the reason behind his own putting success.
In Unconscious Putting, Stockton introduced amateur players to the techniques, strategies, and mental processes he uses to help tour players find so much success on the green. Now, Unconscious Scoring completes Stockton's short-game education by teaching readers how to make the most of shots around the green—the best place to achieve lower scores. Simplicity is the key to Stockton's remarkable instruction success, and he breaks down the short game into two components—low shots and high shots—explaining both the technique and the context of how and when the shots should be used.
Besides McIlroy, Stockton has worked with champions such as Phil Mickelson, Yani Tseng (the number-one ranked woman in the world), and Annika Sorenstam. In Unconscious Scoring, Stockton illustrates his principles with examples from his week-to-week sessions with these and many more of the game's top players. Including black-and-white and color photos and instructional video tags, Unconscious Scoring reveals the simple processes and transformative insights that every player—whatever his or her handicap—yearns to master.

We had a saying in Vietnam, "Payback is a Mother". Sometimes it doesn´t happen as fast as you want it too but it always happens. It´s Chuckie´s time and Kefrry will get his too soon.
Incorrigible yes, and incontinent too as they relieve themselves on our country.
The mainstream media is wanting government money. Lots of it.
Good article. Glad they stood-up to them and held their ground.Looks like someone finally told the ADC the law and the need to comply.The liberal/progressive party is trying hard to convince people they are the majority opinion in this country when they aren´t.However, they are working hard to destroy anyone who has a contrary opinion, and use the term racist or bigot.It´s a verbal form of tyranny if you think about it.
I remember so well when growing up in the 50"s the Soviet Union´s newspaper -- Pravda -- and how the U.S. A. made fun of their being OWNED by the government and the "stories" they would cover...Funny -- how the MSM has come full circle and now that they are OWNED by the government -- how their stories are laughable....LZK
Since Watergate, the Journalism profession has drawn want-a-be revolutionaries who are wary about violence. (Those who couldn´t write but did possess that rare talent of being able to beg other people for money, became politicians.)Their mission is always to bring down "the man". However, they perceive and revere Barrack Obama to still be a dissenter and not the Head of State. He has convinced them that he somehow levitates above, and in judgement of, the government.To their shame, they allow the rest of the administration to carry on with their high crimes and misdemeanors. While many journalists have fought and died to keep the press free and honest, this current crop is happily providing cover for tyrants.
While I suppose the investigative reporting of the Free Bacon may be a good thing, I wasn´t able to tell from the article. It is impressively poorly written.Did they ever manage to get a copy of the speech? I read halfway through the article, but didn´t find out.I´m not a great fan of the left-wing media disguising an editorial as hard news. I don´t much care for it from the right-wing media, either.
The corruption of the US media was a gradual affair. McCarthy hearings, VietNam, Fake but Accurate being mile posts along the way. But if a single event is to be isolated as a watershed, it is Walter Kronkite, putting on a helmet and climbing on to the balcony of the Belvedere Hotel in Saigon after the Tet offensive and declaring that the war is lost. Something (we now realize)he knew to be patently false.
O.K. So America has become an echo chamber. We all are preaching to our choirs. It isn´t about to change. Unless... What?
Arabs with chutzpah. Go figure!
I am grateful for investigative reporting and admire the patience of the reporters. Like #8, I did wonder what the outcome was. Apparently the organization reviewed the tape and said that there was nothing of substance there. They have since been told they must comply and will grudgingly send the tape. Sometime in the next week, we´ll indeed learn what was there.
For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.Pray!
Makes my blood boil... how are we to survive as a Nation when most of our "free press" will not do it´s job?
During Viet Nam war Dan Rather filed a totally false report.One thing to push an agenda and spin, but this man was an outright liar from day one.To say nothing of ole walter crankeit.
I have believed for a long time that the only way back for the right is to concentrate all effort on taking down the corrupt media. That means every conservative organization, news outlets, Tea Party, everyone. Push the issue of the corrupt leftwing media. If we don´t do this we are all done. They are getting more brazen each day. There has to be a way to stop this.
During the Civil War. General Sherman hated reporters and called them murderers.
FTA: " The usual suspects, of course, will have missed the real lesson: reporting works. The media might want to try it some time."Oh, they Know the lesson well. But only when it is a Republican -- never when it´s a demonrat!
Interesting article, but I find one of Continetti´s assertions a little baffling:I.e., he says that the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee´s IRS Form 990 isn´t available online.I happen to do some charity watchdog work, so am familiar with looking up Form 990s online, using a website called the Foundation Center.This is URL goes to the page that lists 990s for both the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and that organizations´s "research" arm:http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/990results.aspx?990_type=&fn=american+arab+anti&st=&zp=&ei=&fy=&action=FindThe most recent Form 990s for these two "American-Arab Anti-Discrimination" groups -that were available on the Foundation Center´s website- were their filings for the year 2010.
This is what happens when real journalists meet the stenographers and scrivners that comprise the Washington puppy dogs that protect the liberal power structure. Denigration, cries of "racism", attributions of "mean-spirited" action. There are house organs these left-wingers go to and Politico and Buzzfeed are the front lines, followed by the WaPo then NYT (if they haven´t snuffed out the true journalists by then). Don´t worry-Andrew Breitbart lives!
Don´t miss the point ...While Republican Party leaders and Behind The Scenes Movers/Shakers diddled Wall Street, the gold course, flew around the world making deals and ignoring us ... they ALLOWED the Left to swarm over the battlefield uncontested.That´s the lesson here. Poor Matthew is barking into a typhoon.The Left has every media outlet, all the Politicians and every hate group on their side because the Left knows how to siphon $$$ off us and redistribute the money.IT matters little if Menendez, Rice and Hagel get sacked. The Left has Replacement Clones already lined up, ten deep. Knock down as many as you want, they´ll keep coming.BECAUSE the Republican Hierarchy failed us.
YESTERDAY Larry Elder, on his California talk show, said that Hagel believes exactly what Obama believes and no one has made the comparison. Since Obama was elected by the people, why is it hard to understand why Obama chose someone who thinks exactly like him?
Poster #21 is Dead on.They are doing this with our money.
If some folks here find it too much trouble to read through to the end of the article (even if it isn´t particularly well written, in their opinion), why should we expect the ordinary low-information voter to show any effort to learn what is really going on in our government, beyond what is reported by the MSM?
Bingo #17"I would rather be governed by Jefferson Davis than be abused by a set of newspaper scribblers who have the impudence of Satan. They come into camp, poke about among the lazy, pick up rumors and publish them as fact."..."I regard them as spies, which in truth, they are."General William Tecumseh ShermanWest Point Class of 1840(1820-1891)
Apparently the underlying cause of much of Hagel´s problems is that he is exceptionally stupid, even for a Democrat Senator. Add in his funding by anti-Israel forces and apparent anti-semitic world view and you have quite a piece of work.
Not sure of the intent of the comparisons with Sherman and Lincoln´s administration with today´s government and the press. Is it that Obama and his generals are bullying the media so that the federal government can burn down the homes of citizens that demand their Constitutional (10th Amendment) rights?
Now how would anyone in the liberal media have time for serious journalism? They are way too busy with the important stuff like investigating Sarah´s trash.
Hay! It´s not only the the government that owns the MSM,its democrats and the unions,just listen to their coverage BS.
Ass-press = LiarsNetwork News = LiarsLocal news = LiarsDaily newspapers = LiarsCable News = LiarsAcademia = LiarsLiberals = LiarsProgressives = LiarsLefties = LiarsObama/Biden = LiarsClinton/Rice = LiarsHolder = LiarGeithner = LiarNapolitano = LiarJarrett = LiarVan Jones =LiarBubba the BJ = LiarKerry = LiarHagel = LiarWith all these liars, you´d think the frickin´ so-called conservative Republican party would be as angry as this old Caucasian Veteran clinging to his guns and religion and love for tradition, the Constitution, Freedom, and Old Glory, wouldnt you? Huh?Dont trust ANYONE who isnt ANGRY!!!
Hey #30, good post! Dont forget Yahoo, Google, the HuffPo,and all the other INTERNET LIARS who permeate the phony computer "news" on a daily basis, rotting the minds of the idiot low-info numbskulls, the damn liars!
Why the fuss about the 990s--hasn´t anyone heard of Guidestar? I just looked the ADC´s most recent 990 online.(Hat tip to #19)
The brazen, combative attitudes of all of these left-wing hyphenated American groups can all trace their origin to the America-hating boob in the White House. The treatment shown these reporters is exactly how the One treats real Americans. They are financed by the American taxpayer, they owe us nothing and they take every opportunity to insult, belittle, flaunt the law and refuse us common courtesy. As #1 says, the payback for all of this assault of the American way will be terrible once we have reached the limit. In Vietnam, it was called the 100 year revenge. The Mafia calls it "a dish served cold." Either way, the tide will turn and there will be a lot of unhappy people within these borders when America finally strikes back.
And #33 - the only reason the ADC comes out and says this kind of stuff is because this White House supports and enables them. Expect further expansion of this crap with an Obamboozler emboldened by re-election!
Call NewsCorp ...Bob Beckel must be taken OFF the air....today saying "White Americans are all about Apartheid..... and and want to take guns from blacks and kill them ...just like elsewhere....just like the Founders killed all the Indians...."Call Fox demand Beckel be fired...ENOUGH...fomenting race wars.....212 852-7000
Wow..........just called FOX news to comment regarding Bob Beckel and started to mention to also please get rid of Juan Williams and they hung up on me...imagine that!?
Lucianne seriously needs a "like" button. How bout it Staff?
Hagel may or may not be exceptionally stupid, but the fact is that he was a GOP senator.As for the press, all you have to remember is that Journo School is about one cut above the College of Education on most college campuses. And Ed school is where the students that can´t hack it in arts & sciences wind up. In other words primo raw material for a cadre of useful idiots, in both instances.
In re #6, I too remember the former Soviet Union news media outlet Pravda. And how the USA used to chide Pravda as such a fake and a fraud. Perhaps it is time we rename the msm to a Soviet Union-esque name.
I dislike journalists.A lot.Is that wrong ?

Cayman Islands Hotel Reviews
Grand Cayman is expensive during the high season but offers the widest range of resorts, restaurants, and activities. Both Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are more geared toward serving the needs of divers, who compose the majority of visitors. The smaller islands are cheaper than Grand Cayman, but with the extra cost of transportation, the overall savings are minimized.
Grand Cayman: Grand Cayman has plenty of medium-size resorts as well as the Ritz-Carlton, a large seven-story resort on Seven Mile Beach. The island also has a wide range of condos and villas, many in resortlike compounds on or near Seven Mile Beach and the Cayman Kai area. There are even a few small guesthouses for budget-minded visitors.
The Sister Islands: Cayman Brac has mostly intimate resorts and family-run inns. Little Cayman has a mix of small resorts and condos, most appealing to divers.

FAA Issues New Advisory Circular for Vintage Aircraft
This is big news, folks. The FAA has issued an advisory circular specifically intended to make it easier to use parts on your vintage airplane that just plain make sense to install!
In a move intended to help keep vintage aircraft safely maintained, restored, and flying, the FAA has issued new Advisory Circular AC 23-27, Parts and Materials Substitution for Vintage Aircraft, dated May 18, 2009. The AC, created by the FAA's Small Airplane Directorate in Kansas City, Missouri, was a joint effort by the FAA in consultation with industry representatives including EAA and EAA's Vintage Aircraft Association.
The publication gives guidance to both owner/restorers and FAA aviation safety inspectors when collecting information needed for an FAA approval when parts or materials used in the original construction of the type-certificated airplane are no longer available or when newer, more appropriate materials are now common and would be more appropriate to be used when repairing or replacing components.
EAA regularly works with the directorate on matters related to small aircraft certification, including the recent Part 23 Process Certification Review. This AC, an outgrowth of the FAA's recognition that obtaining exact original parts and materials was becoming problematic for aircraft restorers and owners, is one example where the FAAhas reached out for industry input to resolve a problem and EAA stood ready to help. When asked to comment about the process of creating the AC, Kim Smith, the manager of the directorate, highlighted the cooperation the FAA received: "It is a great accomplishment to proactively work together and make it easier for owners to enhance the safety of their vintage aircraft."
The advisory circular details the level of information needed to document a part or material substitution, and while it is not intended as a how-to manual, it does give specific examples of the types of changes that can be made with a simple logbook entry. Examples shown in Appendix 1 include the use of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifications for bearing substitutions, or the use of generator or alternator belts made to a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) specification.
Also detailed in the AC is the use of the same series of batteries in a particular airplane. If your airplane takes a series 35 battery, but your vintage aircraft is not on the PMA (parts manufacturer approval) list, you do not have to obtain a supplemental type certificate (STC) to install the battery, as long as it weighs the same (plus or minus 1 pound) and its form and fit allow you to install it without modification to the original installation. Installation of a same series battery is a minor alteration and becomes a simple logbook entry with the information needed in the entry spelled out in the advisory circular.
In Appendix 2, clear guidance is also given regarding the substitution of 4130 steel instead of older, milder steel specifications in both non-structural and structural applications. Of course, structural modifications or repairs are still considered major repairs requiring FAA approval, typically done via an FAA Form 337.
Only unpressuriezed gliders or fixed-wing aircraft powered by reciprocating engine(s) that have a certificated weight of 12,500 pounds or less, and that were certificated before January 1, 1980 (and follow-on type certificated models of the same aircraft) as well as those certificated under Group 2 Memos (and Approved Type Certificated (ATC'd) aircraft certificated by the Department of Commerce), are eligible for parts and material substitutions using AC 23-27 as approved data. Also, the change cannot cause a perceptible change to the certification basis for that particular airplane.
It is expected that this AC will be a living document, amended as new examples of parts and materials substitutions come to the attention of the FAA. While there is no set schedule for the revisions, the FAA's Small Airplane Directorate is responsible for the creation and oversight of the AC. If you have suggestions regarding the incorporation of other parts and material substitutions, send them to:
FAA Small Airplane Directorate
Attn: ACE-100/AC23-27 Comments
910 Locust
Kansas City, MO 64106-2641
We'd also like to see a copy of your comments; send the Vintage Aircraft Association a copy of your note. You can e-mail them to us at email@example.com.
We're interested in your opinion about AC 23-27. Why not join the discussion on EAA's new online community website, Oshkosh365.org? In the Forums section of the website, look for The Red Barn forum and join us as we discuss the newly issued AC. We'll "see" you there!You can download a PDF copy of Advisory Circular 23-27 here.

The local variation is the annual Autumn Suds-Fest at the Berman Museum, now in its ninth year.
The original celebration has a few important rules and traditions, according to the Munich City Council:
It lasts for 16 days.
The crowds devour traditional Bavarian food — sausage, radishes, roast chicken and spicy fish on a stick.
All that food is washed down with the real reason for the festival — the special Oktoberfest beer brewed only by Munich's six major breweries.
The idea is to have a good time, the Bavarian way. Fortunately, Annistonians are under no such strictures. The party at the museum starts at 6 p.m. — and since it's only a few hours long (not 16 days) attendees should have plenty of energy left over for Alabama's own annual autumn party, college football season.
Plus, tradition doesn't restrict the selection of food or — especially — beer. According to Gina Morey, program director for Anniston's museums, a big part of the event in recent years has been the opportunity for attendees to try new things, "It's kind of exciting the way the beer industry is going in Alabama now with the laws that have opened up," Morey said. That includes brewers firing up kettles all over the state, Anniston's Cheaha Brewing Company among them, and the many new brands and styles being trucked in from all over the country.
In Anniston's version of Oktoberfest, all the beer is a means to another end: raising money for the Berman Museum and the Anniston Museum of Natural History. Last year's Suds-Fest raised $12,000, according to David Ford, business development coordinator of the Berman. Tickets must be purchased in advance. As of Tuesday, some were still available, but were expected to go fast. Tickets are $35 each, $30 for museum members, $28 each for groups of 10 or more and $20 for designated drivers. To order, visit the museum or call 256-237-6261.
Along with the area's beer distributors, local restaurants have been big supporters of the event, Morey said.
"Our restaurant support has been just phenomenal," she said. "They jump on board early, and we always have plenty of food."
This year, restaurants chipping in specialties from their menus include Classic on Noble, Covalli's Italian Kitchen, Effina's Tuscan Grill, Garfrerick's Cafe, Heroes Grille, Mellow Mushroom, the Peerless Saloon and Grille, Prime Dining and Bar, Smoke-N-Hot BBQ and Struts.
The suds, meanwhile, are being provided by the distributors Alabama Crown, Bama Budweiser of Anniston and Supreme Beverage, plus area brewers Cheaha Brewing and Gadsden's Back Forty Beer. There's likely to be a dozen or more different brands to try in a variety of styles — far more than can be covered here.
For those planning to attend, here are a few to try:
Peanut Butter Porter, Beer Engineers, Birmingham
This one's new to the Anniston area and, yes, the brewers used peanut flour in the recipe, and the results are delightful. It's often described as a "Reese's cup in a glass." Rich and sweet, the peanut butter flavor is there but isn't overpowering. Maybe it's the 12 percent alcohol content that keeps it from sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Save this one for dessert, although if you wait too long, the supply might be gone.
Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, Cheaha Brewing, Anniston
Anniston's own beer makers have brewed up this version of a traditional Scottish-style ale, which is fuller-bodied (meaning made with more grain — think "thicker") than a standard pale ale, and normally has a slightly higher alcohol content, too. Hence the name, Scots for "a little heavy."
Try it with some hickory-smoked barbecue or a buttery cheese like smoked gouda.
Organic Kolsch, Cheaha Brewing, Anniston
Oktoberfest is a Munich thing, but there's no harm in raising a glass of this style native to the German city of Cologne. It's a light-bodied and lightly hopped ale that's normally crisp, slightly bitter and relatively low in alcohol content.
This should be great for washing down any authentic German bratwurst.
Bière de Garde, Back Forty Beer, Gadsden
This seasonal release from Back Forty is in a style native to northern France, where farmers sometimes brewed beer with a higher alcohol content so it would keep longer. Back Forty's version, according to the brewery, is at the upper end of the alcohol content range for the style — about 8 percent. (As the brewery's marketing director put it, the alcohol is "very bioavailable.)
The style is normally medium-bodied, has moderate hop bitterness, and is a little earthy. Try with fish or shellfish.
Oktoberfest, Goose Island Beer, Chicago
This American-brewed version of the seasonal Oktoberfest style is as traditional a choice as you're likely to find. It's a medium-bodied amber lager with a moderately high alcohol content, this version at 6.5 percent by volume.
It may not be from Munich, but at least Chicago is known for a historically strong German immigrant community. Since you're going traditional, try it with lots of sausage, and — if you can find it — spicy fish on a stick.

There are different forms of creative art:
The Danish state supports the creative arts in different ways – through grants to institutions according to objective criteria or with a point of departure in the "arm's length principle". The arm's length principle is the principle that the support is not dependent on political priorities but is granted following a specialist evaluation of the applicant's artistic qualities. For this reason, the task of awarding public support to the creative arts is to a high degree entrusted to independent institutions, councils and committees whose members have competencies within the individual art forms.
The Danish Arts Foundation, the Danish Arts Council, the Danish Film Institute, the Royal Danish Theatre, the provincial theatres and the symphony orchestras are important bodies and institutions in this area.

When you think of the Yeshiva world, you think of intillectual battles to understand a Tosafos or explain a Rambam. Did you know what Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzensky said? He said that a great accomplishment is thinking of a way to make a widow smile. In these stories we will see how some of our greatest Torah scholars used their brilliant minds to understand someone else's problems- and to do something to help.
- Rabbi Yisrael Salanter would not allow Zemiros to be sung or Torah to be discussed during a Shabbos meal. Why? What did he know that no one else thought of?
- Why did Reb Chaim Brisker insist that people be allowed to" steal" the communtiy's wood?
- Why did Reb Yehoshua Leib Diskin risk his life to save the yeshivos of Brisk? And why was the mayor so anxious to change them?
- When Reb Yaakov's grandson was deathly ill and the doctors gave up hope, how did the Chofetz Chaim succeed in winning Hasem's mercy?
-How did Reb Aryeh Levine teach a class that a Bar Mitzvah gift could be a matter of life and death.
These stories are excitingly told and beautifully illustrated. By showing us how great people acted, they teach us how to act. When you read them you want to become a better person yourself. And you learn that our Torah leaders were greater than you ever knew before.

RENO — The biggest food fight in the nation is back. For the third year in a row, La Tomatina en Reno will take over downtown Reno in what is expected to be its biggest crowd ever.
The tomato fight will take place at 5 p.m. on Aug. 27 at 10 N. Virginia St. (City Plaza).
This year, La Tomatina en Reno, LLC, has taken over the event and is teaming with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Northern Nevada (JDRF). Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased at the City Plaza on the day of the event or may be purchased online at www.clubcalneva.com/latomatinareno. A portion of the profit from the event will benefit the JDRF.
Due to an expected crowd of about 5,000 participants this year, La Tomatina is urging attendees to not wait until the last minute to sign up as they may not get in to participate or get caught standing in extremely long lines.
The Knitting Factory in downtown Reno will also host the La Tomatina pre-party featuring the band Jahzilla. Tickets for the pre-party are $6 and can be purchased through the Knitting Factory's website or at the Club Cal Neva. All proceeds from the show will go to benefit JDRF.

What Can Big Brown Do For You?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
The Preakness is tomorrow and while you are enjoying all the debauchery, be sure to remember there's a semi-important horse race going on tomorrow. You know, if going to a horse track to watch horses race is your type of thing — a legitimate question for all the in-field attendees.
If you are actually interested in the race, the other questions surrounding The Preakness are can the horse who launched a million UPS trucks (not really, but he did get his name from the shipping giant) win the second leg of the Triple Crown? If he does, will anyone in attendance be sober enough to appreciate it? Another question, deftly tackled by Pat Forde, is whether or not two-weeks is a sufficient enough lay-off for modern horses to compete the Triple?
I'm not sure Seattle Slew or Affirmed had these issues to worry about, but nevertheless, the concerns are out there. Others tend to stem from the Eight Belles tragedy and while they are legitimate, I'm not sure if they won't just fall on deaf ears. The horse racing industry is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry (especially if you include the gambling aspect) and while the immediate destruction of one of these beautiful creatures leaves a lasting impact on the general sporting public and generates tons of shock waves, it won't derail horse racing from moving forward.
We are in the middle of the Triple Crown season and it's the industry's time to shine and if the Barbaro saga didn't dampen their spirit, nothing — not even the destruction of Eight Belles — will.
Anyway, enough op-edding for now; let's look at the race. Can Big Brown complete and win leg number two of the Triple Crown? Considering the fact he's a 1-2 favorite (for every $2 spent, you get $1 in return), it's pretty obvious where Vegas' feelings lie. When you look at the rest of the field's odds, you can get the distinct impression Big Brown is the only horse worth paying attention to.
The second lowest odds are for Gayego, who comes in at 8-1. After that, the rest of the entires have double-digit odds. To me, this seems to indicate either Big Brown will destroy the field (in a winning way) or some enterprising gambler is going to make a lot of money off the likes of Macho Again (20-1) and Riley Tucker (30-1). With that in mind, I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick Big Brown to win, place, and show.
In other news, ESPN's Randy Moss looks really intense. God, I love bad choices in online video freeze-frames.
Don't take any crap from that ESPN 2 crew, Randy.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Expectations are higher than ever for head coach Sue Guevara and the Central Michigan women's basketball program in her seventh season at the helm.
After earning their first Mid-American Conference Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance in nearly 30 years, the Chippewas were a unanimous choice to win the West Division and were picked to repeat as MAC Tournament champs in the conference's preseason coaches' poll.
The Maroon and Gold return 10 letter winners and three starters from last season's championship squad, including preseason All-MAC West Team selections Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green.
The two rising juniors spent their "offseason" in very different ways as Bradford earned a gold medal with the United States World University Games and Green rehabbed a knee injury that forced her to miss the final seven games of last season.
Bradford led the Chippewas in scoring (16.1), rebounds (9.9) and blocks (1.8) last season and set program postseason records with 36 points, 14 rebounds and seven steals versus Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. She was named All-MAC First Team and went on to earn MAC Tournament MVP honors. Green averaged 11.8 points and a team-best 2.2 steals per game, with a career-best 36 percent three-point shooting percentage to earn All-MAC Third Team honors.
"I just want to stay healthy for the whole season," Green said. "I'd really like to play in the MAC Tournament. Our goal is get farther than we did last year. We made the tournament last year, but we want to make a name for ourselves here at Central Michigan and put on a good show for our fans."
Experience and veteran leadership will be pivotal to the Chippewas' success as seniors Niki DiGuilio, the 2010 MAC Freshman of the Year, and Taylor Johnson, the 2010 MAC Sixth Player of the Year, look to close out their prestigious careers with another championship. DiGuilio is on pace to becoming the program's all-time leader in made three-point field goals, entering the season just 42 shy.
Senior Jordan LaDuke and junior Kerby Tamm, both in their third season with the program, will also be relied on heavily to provide veteran leadership through a brutal non-conference schedule. Tamm posted the fourth best three-point shooting percentage in program history last season, knocking down 41.7 percent of her attempts. Junior Jas'Mine Bracey, a 2011 MAC All-Freshmen Team selection, will lead the Chippewas' frontcourt with her career 8.0 points and 6.1 rebounds average.
"Our team chemistry is going to help a lot," Green said. "Our chemistry helps us click on and off the court. Everything comes together and we feel good about ourselves afterwards. Good chemistry brings a good team."
The Chippewas battled through a rigorous non-conference schedule last season that prepared them for the MAC season and will take the road less traveled by many schools again this year. Six of the Chippewas' 12 non-conference games will be against teams currently ranked in the top 25 nationally, while 10 of the 12 games will be against teams that appeared in a postseason tournament last season.
After opening the season at UMASS, CMU will travel to No. 7 Kentucky for the first of the six games versus nationally ranked foes. The Chippewas will also play No. 2 Duke, No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 14 Dayton twice and No. 18 Purdue prior to MAC play.
"We have to be challenged if we are going to get past the first round of the NCAA Tournament," Guevara said. "There is a method to our madness, but I just know this is what our basketball teams needs and wants."
Sophomore Da'Jourie Turner is expected to step into a key backcourt role after appearing in 22 games as a true freshman and will be joined by redshirt freshman Jewel Cotton, who was named the team's Most Improved Player and Practice Player of the Year last season. Sophomore Chelsea Lynn also returns for CMU after playing in 14 games as a true freshman and will bolster the CMU frontcourt.
CMU opens the regular season Sunday, Nov. 10 at UMASS at 1 p.m. The game will be the first of six away from McGuirk Arena, including three at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands Nov. 28-30. The Chippewas' home opener will be Thursday, Dec. 5 versus No. 14 Dayton.

Kinnell has said "if you could keep going deeper and deeper, you'd finally not be a person . . . you'd be a blade of grass or ultimately perhaps a stone." It is this search for the essential that marks out Kinnell's poetic territory: like the bear of one of his most celebrated poems, he digs in for the winter. This desire to feel a oneness with the universe is beautifully expressed here in the closing lines of 'The Seekonk Woods' where Kinnell describes himself lying on his back, staring up at the stars as he tries to escape the pressure of time, to lose himself in the present and "attain/ a moment of absolute ignorance". This search for the spiritual begins with the flesh - touch is a central sense in his poetry, form St. Francis' gentle blessing of the sow in one of his most famous poems, to the awkward/ graceful dance of a daughter leading her elderly father in 'Parkinson's Disease'. The poems imply that we begin to know and respect our place in the world through the skin: this makes Kinnell a devout poet, honouring the earth and all the creatures, including the human ones, which share its surface. He is drawn to writing about the moments when our most basic nature is revealed, in birth, sex and death, as in his celebrated poems of physical union, 'After Making Love We Hear Footsteps' and 'Rapture'. There is anger at human destructiveness, and he writes of a desire to escape, as in his sequence 'When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone', but this is tempered with a tremendous tenderness, particularly evident in the poems for his young son and daughter.
For all the plain grandeur of his language with its Biblical cadences, Kinnell is not a remote figure. The deep resonance of his voice brings out both the wisdom and intimacy of his poems, as embodied in the closing lines of 'Lastness', a section of his long poem, The Book of Nightmares, where he bends over his newly born son: "and smelled/the black, glistening fur/of his head, as empty space/must have bent over the newborn planet. . .".
'Blackberry Eating', 'Oatmeal' and 'First Song' come from a recording made for The Poetry Archive on 11 July 2005 at The Audio Workshop, London, produced by Richard Carrington. The remaining poems come from a recording made for The Poetry Foundation on 19 September 2007 in New York.
