That was some time before I took up the reporting craft, but Alabama and the South were to live with the consequences of events that year; it was the year the Southern Democratic Party began to splinter on its way to oblivion.
The Alabama Republican Party is about to suffer a similar fate.
Cracks first began to appear in the state's solid GOP when the county executive committees re-elected Bill Armistead as state chairman over the objections of the leadership, including Gov. Robert Bentley.
Rebellious factions are consistent with the state's independent nature, but Armistead is a fellow who sees things — "da-da da-da," as in the Twilight Zone — outlandish ethereal shapes from the fevered mind of fringe movie producers.
In a minute, we'll get to the movie whose weird plotline Armistead swallows, but first, what are the signs of dissent in a one-party state then and now?
In 1948, Harry Truman's "Fair Deal" policies — meaning fair deal for blacks — split the party into loyalists who went all the way with the president, loyalists who opposed a civil rights platform, which included Sens. Lister Hill and John Sparkman, states-righters who wanted to bolt the party immediately on racial grounds and a faction within the states-righters who went to the convention to block a civil rights platform, determined to walk out if it passed.
The result was a convention of all the states-righters from all over the South, the famous Dixiecrat convention in Birmingham, a strange brew in Alabama terms that stirred the Ku Klux Klan in with the Mountain Brook country club.
Former Alabama Gov. Frank Dixon, with the dignified good looks of a Methodist bishop, gave a rousing keynote speech assailing the federal government and glorifying states rights. In private correspondence he revealed what "states' rights" meant, "The Huns (Nazis) have spoiled our notions … of a master race."
The convention nominated South Carolina Gov. Strom Thurmond as its presidential candidate to carry the flag of "states' rights."
From then on, loyalists, inheritors of a progressive tradition that included Hugo Black, Jim Folsom and Tom Kilby, struggled for supremacy against increasingly harder-line segregationist states-righters.
The struggle finally ended in 1964 when the GOP nominated a presidential candidate who had voted against the Civil Rights Act, Barry Goldwater, who swept all the hard-line states-righters into the Republican Party.
A unique set of circumstances — with race at its core — created the emergence of the Republican Party as the dominant political force in the South.
Though overt racism is no longer the dividing line in Southern politics, the physics of a one-party state by the laws of nature is bound to create factional divisions.
For instance, one theory for Armistead's re-election is that he was a hero to the zealous, doctrinaire Tea Party faction within the party. When The Star's man in Montgomery, Tim Lockette, inquired, his source replied, "Which Tea Party?"
If there is a staring, brain-locked, Gullibility Wing of the Tea Party, it is no wonder that Bill Armistead is its champion.
The plot of the far-right propaganda film, "Dreams of My Real Father," that Armistead says he believes, goes like this: Obama's grandfather is an underground CIA operative who convinces Barack Obama Sr. to marry the president's mother to disguise the fact she was already pregnant by a labor and Communist Party organizer, Frank Marshall Davis.
Weird as it sounds, Armistead believes it. He told a GOP women's group in Fairhope last September that they should see the film, which he said "is absolutely frightening. I've seen it. I verified that it is factual, all of it."
Among the questions that might be asked about the film is: Is communism genetic, carried in the male sperm …? Oh, forget it, the show is worse than the worst nightmare; to treat it logically is a waste of time.
However, I sympathize with the elected leadership of the party, being of sound mind, not wanting the governing party to be perceived as being chaired by somebody who thinks horror films are real life.
But the fissures beginning to appear on the surface of the solid GOP in Alabama and elsewhere were bound to happen. It will be fascinating to watch the cracks grow between the Establishment and the several Tea Parties over time.

3/4 of an orange cut into wedges (the whole thing didn't fit in the container)
1 kiwi cut up
1 cup blueberry yogurt
About a quarter cup of herring fillets (low sodium)
Two scrambled eggs
A small baggie of pretzels
1/2 cup of grapes
A few olives
A very tiny container of fruit juice gummy bears (maybe four or five total bears)
I usually send one or two fresh veggies, but am running a little low right now, but this is a pretty typical lunch for him. The food is divided into one morning snack and the rest for lunch.
I have heard twice now from his teachers that he has WAAAAYYYYY too many choices and WAY too much food. He usually comes back with some food, but not a lot. He might have half of his pretzels and some of his eggs left and possibly a tiny bit of fruit when I pick him up tomorrow. That is also very typical of what is left over.
Any tips on how to change up lunch for the better? What does anyone else pack for your preschooler? (he is three BTW)

Hi! Love the sheet music snowflakes! Fabulous idea!! Enjoy your Christmas deco'ing!!!ReplyDelete
:) Lara
I love that first photo! You can never go wrong with glitter. :pReplyDelete
I finally finished putting up our tree last night. (It took 3 days b/c umm... we have a lot of ornaments). All left to do now are the yard decorations.
Thanks for your sweet comment on my bedroom redo, Melinda. So glad this one is done...it took FOREVER!! I'm happy with the end results though, so I guess itwas worth it:-)ReplyDelete
I remember one year making hundreds of snowflakes with my daughter's class for the Christmas Pagaent at school. There was glitter everywhere!
I'm liking little pops of red here and there in the Christmas photos I'm seeing on Pinterest. Can't wait to see what you come up with:-)
I love the colors of your trees. I've never seen a red or white one. The ornament box reminds me of my childhood. Have you ever seen bubble lights? They were my favorite! Gell well soon.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this post....I seriously need a push toward getting in the holiday spirit.ReplyDelete
I think I am still stuck some time around Halloween:)!
Can't wait to see you next post.....
Your images are so stunning and inspiring. I cannot wait to get started on some Christmas ornaments I've got lined up this weekend. I haven't forgotten your request....I might get those finished this weekend, as well. Hugs to you, RhondaReplyDelete
Melinda, so very beautiful! I shredded some old music and put them in bird nests for my mantle...love music sheets!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, Melinda. It's nice to see that thoughts of Christmas decorating are cheering you up. The snowflakes you & your sons made are so beautiful! And I love seeing your touches of red and beautiful linens starting to appear for Christmas. This is the most festive & fun time of year, isn't it?ReplyDelete
Can't wait to hear your news about the website you mentioned, too. You are so full of talent my friend!
Beautiful decorations. Love that your hand making them also.. So fun thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Your homemade snowflakes are so pretty. I love them all sparkled up. I am also going with a red, white and silver look for my home this year, well every year it seems. I just love, love, love the look of it all together.ReplyDelete
Sounds like the perfect day, crafting with the boys!ReplyDelete
Totally inspired now, thank you!
I love your sparkly snowflakes. I have some vintage ornaments as well inherited from a friend that passed two years ago. I pile them in a bowl to display on a table at Christmas. Have a lovely Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see all of your Christmas decor! Pretty snowflakes! Love the vintage brush tree too! Hope you are feeling better!ReplyDelete
I think a red Christmas tree would actually look really good. I think I'll get one like that next year. Green is just too generic. Everyone has a green Christmas tree. I love how you took old music sheets cut them up slightly and made beautiful hanging art.ReplyDelete
I am always so happy to hear from all of you!!~ Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a visit, you always make my day sweeter with your kindness!!~

Nitro councilman resigning, city attorney replaced
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Nitro City Council will soon be looking for a new member to fill an at-large seat after unanimously accepting Councilman Craig Matthews' resignation.
Matthews moved to Hurricane after his marriage to Jennifer Hillenbrand last month. As a result, he is no longer able to represent the city of Nitro.
Mayor Dave Casebolt expressed his disappointment in losing his fellow council member, calling Matthews an "an outstanding councilperson."
"He was just incredible to work with, very knowledgeable, and he will be missed," Casebolt said.
Matthews list of contributions to the city include the procurement of a $25,000 grant to repair and establish new trails around Ridenour Lake and a litter control grant four years in a row for Nitro.
Moreover, Matthews obtained funds and plans for a new dog park, acquired a grant to build a handicap fishing pier at Ridenour lake, established a new building inspector and fire marshal's office, and he also established a movie night at Nitro City Park.
"It's a great loss to the council not to have him," Councilwoman Laurie Elkins said.
Council members plan to work with City Attorney Johnnie Brown to determine how to appoint a replacement. Brown, of the law firm Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe, replaced former City Attorney Ritchie Robb on Feb. 1.
The position is based on the mayor's discretion.
"We appreciate everything Mr. Robb did for us," Casebolt said. "We just feel that Johnnie's offering us a lot more services."
Brown has a team of attorneys at his disposal who have experience working with city, county and state governments.
Council voted unanimously to increase the city attorney's salary from $2,500 to $3,000, since Brown asked for more for his services than Robb.
The additional monies will be paid out of the City Hall Budget.
In other business, local chiropractor Roland Meffert proposed the formation of a Wellness Council for the city.
The community-wide initiative would be the first of its kind in the state. It is designed to promote health awareness and provide the tools and support necessary for living healthy lifestyles.
The proposal calls for the implementation of wellness council that will have four subcommittees: Communication, Business Liaison, Health-Care Coordinator, and Community Relations.
Meffert explained that one of the best things about this program is that it is not going to cost the community a lot of money because there are grants and other funding available to support such an initiative.
"It's a reality that health has almost become a secondary thing," Meffert said, which is why he hopes to start a "biggest loser" competition where community members can win prizes for winning weigh-ins.
Meffert proposal would also provide tools such as grocery lists, menus and newsletters to help citizens stay on the right track.
"This is a huge effort," Mayor Casebolt said. "I think once it gets initiated, once it gets started, it will take on a life of its own."
Council members Laurie Elkins, Andy Shamblin and Al Walls each agreed to be a part of the committee to get the program up and running.
City Council also voted to accept Mayor Casebolt's motion to accept bids for trash bags to be provided to Nitro residents.
Councilwoman Brenda Tyler opposed the motions saying, "I think the garbage bags is a waste of money."
She said that money could be used to make improvements to the city's roads.
Casebolt clarified that the motion is only to accept bids, not to actually provide them. Once council receives the bids it will then decide if it is within the budget to purchase the bags.
Casebolt also announced he had violated a city ordinance during the renovation of the Mayor's office.
Last month, he received a donation of $1,000 from Nitro resident Robert Schamber to make the repairs. The mayor violated a city ordinance when he failed to bid out drywall, carpet and tile work that exceeded $1,000.
Casebolt immediately reported his failure to do so to the ethics commission and to the city attorney when he learned the actual cost.
"It was a mistake, I made it, and I take full responsibility for," Casebolt said.
There was no mention of what ramifications may result from this violation.

The 'Obamacare Is a Job Killer' Myth
Conservative claims about the health care law's effect on employment haven't come true.
A favorite way for lawmakers to cast aspersions on a piece of legislation or a law they don't like is to label it a "job killer." When President Obama wanted to raise taxes on the richest 2 percent of Americans? " Job killer." Financial reform to rein in the banks after the 2008 crisis? " Job killer."
But special ire has been reserved for the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. "In my opinion Obamacare is the biggest job killer we have in America today. It's a weight over every employer that we have," said Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., added, "there are so many stories about businesses holding back from expanding or hiring — even cutting back on their workforces — it's hard to even count."
That view has become an article of faith amongst conservatives, particularly as a few employers have come forward to say they would be hiring or increasing their employees' hours if it weren't for that darn Obamacare.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
But how much of this is actually true and how much of it is employers and lawmakers finding a convenient bogeyman for the still-sluggish economic recovery, blaming the country's ills on a law they don't like for ideological reasons? According to a new report from Helene Jorgensen and Dean Baker at the Center on Economic and Policy Research, the actual empirical evidence that Obamacare has a negative effect on employment is exceedingly thin.
First, some background: Opponents of Obamacare blame the so-called "employer mandate" – the requirement that firms with more than 50 workers provide full-time employees (those working more than 30 hours per week) with health insurance – for killing jobs. The Obama administration recently delayed the implementation of the employer mandate, giving firms another year before it comes into effect.
But until the administration's announcement, employers expected the mandate to take effect in 2014, which means their penalties, or lack thereof, would be based on their 2013 employment levels. So if the mandate was a job killer, or employers were reducing hours to keep workers part-time, that should show up in the data for this year. But as the CEPR report shows, that didn't happen:
[T]he number and percentage of workers putting in between 26-29 hours per week was slightly lower in 2013 than in 2012. The average percentage of workers in this category for 2013 was 0.597 percent. That is down from 0.604 percent in 2012. While this drop is not close to being statistically significant, the change is in the wrong direction for the ACA as job-killer story.
While there may certainly be instances of individual employers carrying through with threats to reduce their employees' hours to below 30 to avoid the sanctions in the ACA, the numbers are too small to show up in the data. It appears that in setting worker hours employers are responding to business considerations in much the same way as they did before the ACA took effect.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on Obamacare.]
Earlier this month, Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said much the same thing: "Health care reform does not appear to be significantly hampering job growth, at least not so far. Job gains are broad based across industries and businesses of all sizes." Meanwhile, it's important to remember how few firms we're talking about feeling the penalty in the first place. Some 94 percent of the employers that would be affected already provide health insurance voluntarily.
This "debate" sounds a lot like the one that pops up any time lawmakers suggest raising the minimum wage. A few employers inevitably come forward and say that the cost of increased wages will cause them to fire employees; those employers are then trotted out by conservatives to show how much damage a minimum wage hike will do. But then the data collected after-the-fact show that raising the minimum wage actually has no significant effect on employment.
Now, for a host of reasons, the employer mandate is bad policy, and should probably be sent packing entirely. But being a "job killer" is not one of them.

despite what the folks here say, this beer is wonderful. label must have changed this year, and maybe with it the recipe, because the critiques i read here do not seem at all valid to me. maybe i just got a really fresh one, i dont know, but i liked it a lot. pours clear golden color with a lacey and sticky white head with perfect retention. the smell is fresh hops, floral and oily, very little bitterness presents itelf. malt bill is light, pale and crystal malts, barely a crutch for the hops to lean on. flavor lines up with the nose, hoppy all the way through, but more it a light grassy to fruity way, rather than bitter at all. clean and bright in the finish, sessionable forever. this may be a little light for some american pale drinkers, but i found its fresh pep and light malt complex just right for a sunday afternoon of football. light light body, but big on flavor. strong but not overkill on the carbonation, and overall an impressive introduction to central waters brewing for me. wish i had more than one of these.

a beautiful clean amber pour with 2 fingers of sticky off white head which caused great lacing. smells of pine, soap, caramel, grapefruit, peaches. a bitter piney hop flavor up front, changing into a floral hoppy taste, more piney bitterness follows and a sweet malty flavor/bitterness lingers in the back. medium body, creamy mouthfeel, nicely carbonated.
a very nice wet hopped ale. very piny, and bitter yet sweet and tasty! not bad by any means!

Central Waters is using fresh hops from Wsiconsin and the Midwest Hops and Barley Co-op. Glad to see that.
The pour is light amber to golden. Thick head has staying power. Provided some nice lace.
Nose is bit understated for style - grassy, a bit of carmel malt.
Entry is fairly full and builds out nicely. Flavor of carmel malts, floral, perfumey hops, grass. Snappy bitterness, but balanced beer. Biscuit flavor midmouth. I like the flavor profile of the hops. It is not a northwest "C" hop blast, but a unique Wisconsin indiginous flavor. Spicy and floral.
We need more of this type of beer! It is local and fresh. It brings local flavor to the market, delivered well. Nice effort.

Poured from 22oz bottle into CBS snifter. Served chilled...
A) A deeper amber with a little haze. This had 2 fingers of foam, which settled quickly to a thin dusting. Good amount of lacing.
S) Mild aroma of grass, light flower petal, orange peel shavings. Faint sweetness in the background.
T) A very grassy flavor, earthy hops, lots of citrus bite, light malt sweetness attempts to balance this one out.
M) A lighter medium body, with moderate carbonation. The citrus zest lingers on the palate. It's a crisp brew with a slightly dry finish.
O) I was looking forward to trying this one out, and while it wasn't a total disappointment, it was not up to snuff in comparison to several other wet hop brews I've had the pleasure of drinking recently. On the plus side, there's nothing offensive about this beer, and it is pretty easy drinking. It was worth a try...

A: light copper color. Ever so slight haze. Forms a moderate bright white head. Very light lacing.
S: light, but bright. Light aroma of caramel malts, followed by bright citrus aroma. Grapefruit, with a little touch of lemon.
T: light toasty malts. Citrus hops,mostly grapefruit. A pleasant flavor, but very light.
M: on the lighter side of medium. Good, sparkly carbonation. Mild, but persistent bitterness comes across stronger than it is on the light body.

22 oz. bottle shared by nuplastikk. Thanks Greg!
The beer is mostly clear, with only a slight haziness, appearing orange to maber hued with a small white head. The aroma offers some tangy citrus, namely grapefruit amd orange. Lightly floral with an odd bitterness in the finish. Flavors don't work in tandem with one another. Light to medium in body. Overal, this was just eh...not a repeat for me.

Pours out a hazy golden-amber color with two fingers of soapy head on top with remarkable stability for about three minutes and some very pretty patterns of lace left behind on the inside of the glass. Lighter body and crisp, sharp carbonation, perhaps a tad spritzy.
Smells and tastes of fresh, green, leafy hops with mostly herbal and grassy qualities, but not very much in terms of resinous or citric hopping, which makes the spectrum feel slightly unfinished overall. The malt backbone is a pretty standard pale / cracker combo. I would have preferred somewhat more complexity than this. It's a really good looker in the glass, though!

Poured from bomber into Duvel tulip. Two separate pours, one out of fridge and one after sitting out for about a half hour. No real difference between the two in my eyes and palette.
A: Dark orange with a small white halo of head. Decent amount of particles in the pour. Not offputting, but nothing extraordinary here either.
S: For a wet hop, where are the hops? Trying really hard to find it, but I'm smelling a lot of earth and malt. No citrus, no pine. Disappointing based on expectations.
T: Same as smell. This may be a solid pale ale, but I'm picking up really nothing from the hops. I really had hoped for more, but it's certainly not a bad beer by any means.
M: May be the most solid part of the beer. Very easy drinking and palatable. If this wasn't in bomber form, I could see putting a number of these back without thinking twice about it.
O: I need to stop going into new beers with high expectations. No other way of putting it...I'm let down with this one.

22 oz bottle poured into a Sam Adams pint glass
A - pale amber, half inch of white head dissipates quickly, leaves some decent lacing
S - citrus and mango are predominant, a slight whiff of caramel and spearmint
T - clean, very clean, lemon zest along with more tropical flavors (mangoish), a bit of toasty malt, green apple and piney bitterness on the back end, caramel is more intense as it warms and apricot shows up too, really fun to keep sipping at
M - moderate carbonation, fairly light bodied, a little bit resinous in the finish
O - I like it, very drinkable and well balanced but I get the impression that CW is just trying to show off how restrained it can be using wet hops. I really wasn't expecting the subtlety of the flavors here, it takes a lot of mulling over. I'm sure it will leave a lot of hopheads disappointed and the nose was too subdued for me but still a great beer.

22 oz bottle poured into a Central Waters tulip.
No date or info.
A - Hazed through and through, light trickles into the beer shining it's deep golden orange color. A modest ivory head caps the beer briefly before retiring to a sudsy ring of foam with tiny fingers of lace creeping up the glass.
S - Central Waters' Hop Harvest has a juicy hop nose with ripe mango and pineapple, light notes of green apple, and a smooth trace of lemon citrus on the back end. Stiff caramel malt and grainy pale base build a sturdy foundation for the hoppy aroma.
T - The ripe mango and pineapple exotic fruitiness follows through to the flavor with a touch of resin and woodsy pine appearing along the finish. The beer's great balance can be attributed to the underlying sweet malty caramel and grainy pale flavors.
M - This Wisconsin wet-hop brew is quite smooth and medium-light bodied, evenly distributing balance with moderate bitterness and crisp carbonation finish for a complete wet-hop experience without additions of "green" impurities.
O - It's always exciting when Wisconsin brewers release beers brewed with Wisconsin ingredients. It gives me a sense of pride to drink such wonderful brews, and Central Waters' Hop Harvest is no different. This hop-forward-yet-balanced pale ale showcases some of the west-coast style hop characteristics while maintaining a beer that can be easily drank all the way through.

amber liquid quickly overcame the glass and made a huge head of white foam that quickly came down the sides of the glass. rich lacing covering everything in sight without an issue,
the aroma was classic nw pale with a deep resin filled hop profile that filled the air. deep piney hops and hints of biscuit filled malts are all over the place here, really just leaving a tremdously big profile in its wake. incredible feel as it was nearly full bodied but with huge carbonation. nice bite of hops up front melts into a smooth and even malt profile and a sublimly dry finish

I bought a 22oz. bottle from Star Liquor Store in Ashland, WI in Spring 2011. for $4.99.
Pours a mostly clear golden yellow color with a fluffy head. Has a mild scent of hops and other grassy scents. Flavor is crisp and mildly hoppy. They don't go overkill with the hops, just enough to give a crisp refreshing taste. Texture is smooth but just a tad too thin for me. The use of Wisconsin grown hops and barley give this APA a different type of taste not easily duplicate with other beers. Finishes crisp with a slight dryness. Something to try once for the Fall season, but that's about it.

Not what I was expecting I guess. More of a fruity, almost english style pale ale. The fresh hops are not real assertive and the maltiness of this beer carries the action.
With that said this is a nice drinker...really a unique maltiness with some sugar cookie and a little toffee as well....impression is a little earthy but also has some fruity notes from the hops (sweet apples, and ripe pears) along with some floral notes on the nose..
Body is light side of medium. Light golden color...decent enough but not a hop bursting creation.
I could drink this again but could also live without it.

Not a bad beer but not something that lives up to its promise. Poured with a nice, white, foamy, frothy medium sized head that lasts for a while and some lace. Color is a clear amber. Nose is malt, beer, cereal. Flavor is similar with the hops nothing more than noticable. Body is decent and so is carbonation. Finish is like flavor but diminishes from little to flat generic.

Bomber served in a standard pint glass
A - Light & sparkling, quality lacing which makes up for the lack of head
S - Honey, lemon, floral hops
T - Lager yeast and fresh grains --> loads of honey and caramel --> floral hops and more malt on the finish
M - Light to medium-bodied; gets syrupy
D - Too sweet & not enough hops to make me come back for more
This is a solid beer, but I expect more from a fresh hop ale, especially from Central Waters. Worth trying, but not writing home about.

Bottle purchased at Steve's in Madison. Served in a Leinenkugel pint glass.
A - Two fingers of creamy white foam that settles to a thick cap and some solid glass-coating lace. Transparent golden body, lots of visible bubbles rising upwards.
S - Very earthy, zesty, and herbaceous hop notes, some notes of soap, and a hefty sugary crystal malt backbone. Reminds me a little of Sierra Nevada Estate, but a little better and less catty.
T - Taste is more malt-forward with light grain and sugar, with a bit of citrus hop and very light bitterness in the finish. Just kind of boring.
M - Zesty carbonation, but not harsh. Medium-light body, with a sticky and lightly oily finish. Could use more dryness.
D - There's not ABV listed, but I'm guessing this is pretty light. Very easy to finish, but ultimately forgettable.

22oz brown bottle poured into my Central Waters pint glass...
Pours a clear golden amber with two fingers of meringue-like white head. Leaves some nice lacing behind...
Rather muted aroma of grain and some earthy hops. Not that bright citrus or piny hop aroma you expect from most other Harvest Ales...Although there is a shortage of hops in the nose, the beer smells crisp and fresh...
Smooth, crisp, grainy with some grassy, earthy bitterness. A touch of sweetness up front cuts into the mild hop presence, there is a slight lingering bitterness...
Light to medium bodied with decent carbonation. Highly drinkable, smooth and crisp. Taste is fresh, clean and simple. There is a slight lingering bitter aftertaste...
Not what I have come to expect from Harvest Ales (especially if looked at next to Broo Doo or Founders Harvest). The beer actually resembles a Pilsner to me more than an APA, what the beer lacks in up front hop presence, it makes up for with simplicity, freshness and is an overall clean and easy drinking beer...

The flavor is malty with a hint of citrusy and grassy hops.

Poured from a bottle 22 oz bottle. Appearance is yellow with soft white head that is not very persistent. For a beer that calls attention to its hops, this beer is rather malt forward. The aroma smells of grainy pilsner malt, with only a tickle of hop spicyness. The flavor delivers what the aroma promises. The sweet grainy malt is reminiscent of European lagers than an American pale ale. Don't get me wrong; I love this malt character. The beer just doesn't deliver on the proise converyed by the name "Hop Harvest." The hops carry little aroma, and perhaps more could be used in a bittering capacity, but they do contribute a cattiness that helps cut through the sweetness of the malt. They also may be responsible for delivering a slight astringency to the finish, which cuts through a viscous initial mouth feel.
In all, it is an interesting beer. It comes across to me as a pilsner-like ale with some cattiness from American hops. It would benefit from having more hop aroma and perhaps a bit more bitterness.

A - Pale coper colored body with a decent hea. It leaves a nice subtle lacing as well.
S - I'm not all that conviced that this brew is gonna knock my socks off just by the aroma. While the name, Hop Harvest implies to me this is gonna be a well hopped brew, the scent doesn't reflect that thought. It has a slight aroma of leafy, grassy and floral hops.
T - The flavor here is good. Mainly malt with hints of leafy and grassy hops. The sweet malt flavor supercedes the hops but doesn't kill them.
M - Watery and crisp, just as I would expect from a ripe American Pale Ale.
~ This is a sessionable brew. One I would certainly suggest to friends. It would be nice to see the Central Waters original on tap throughout Wisconsin. But only if Happy Heron can't be.

First off, really cool that this is brewed with all Wisconsin barley and hops!
Pours into my glass a sunrise yellow/orange with a creamy white head and good clarity throughout. Aromas start with a crisp, slightly toasted grain along with some earthy, herbal hops. Fruity with a touch of pine as well.
First sip brings a smooth, semi-sweet crisp grain malt body upfront that cavorts with fruity notes and a nice kick of herbal, earthy hop tones. Pine swirls along with a well balanced bitterness on the way down. Solid.
Mouthfeel is smooth and easy drinking. Good carbonation makes this a thirst quencher. Overall, a solid, well balanced brew that uses all local ingredients. Cheers to Cental Waters and their push for sustainability, I wish them only continued success.

Poured from bomber into imperial pint.
A- A light golden straw color that has a little haze to it. A decent pour yields about a finger's worth of heady that is pillowy and leaves a nice little cap on the beer. Minimal lacing is left behind.
S- Faint hops and almost a sugary sweetness. Really nothing much else to speak of.
T- The hops are a bit more pronounced than in the nose but not by much. The malt doesn't lend that much in way of flavor and there is a little bit of a grass note in there as well.
M- Medium bodied with light carbonation. No real bitterness but the beer almost has a grainy feel to it.
D- I am guessing that this beer isn't very high but still I wouldn't have more than a bomber of this stuff. Seems kind of stale and really, nothing about it stands out to me. I would try one of CW's other better offerings.

Thanks to my beer loving friends JDostal and Mike for this bottle!
A - Poured from the brown bomber into a clear pint glass. The body of this brew is a nearly crystal clear yellow/gold color topped with a bright white head. Head retention was decent and left a nice curtain of lacing down the inside of my glass.
S - Kind of a sweet smelling malt body with hints of citric hops in the background. Doesn't smell very hoppy.
T & M - The taste is certainly hoppier than the nose would have suggested. To me, the hops seem both earthy and grassy. The malts that I smelled in the nose are actually on the low end taste wise but help to balance out the hop kick. Light to medium bodied and finishes with a slight hop aftertaste. Carbonation is on the very low end.
D - A pretty decent example of an APA. Seems like this beer has been hit or miss in the reviews, I'm wondering if some people got a bad bottle, because this one was pretty decent to me.

Bland ale. Enticing color, fairly crisp finish, but the flavor is just not there. Not bad, but not at all recommended.
Caveat: One of the recent reviewers mentioned a two-finger head. My bottle might be stale (despite my purchasing it within 120 mi of the brewery) because my pour had virtually no head whatsoever.

In addition to the scheming old women who poison their victims with elderberry wine, the family includes Teddy, who suffers delusions that he is Theodore Roosevelt and that the Panama Canal runs through the cellar of his home. The locks he digs become convenient graves for the lonely men who fall victims to Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby's machinations. When their nephew Mortimer discovers a body under the window seat of his aunt's home, however, the elderly women fess up to their deeds matter-of-factually and the events become more absurd right up to the surprise ending. Showing on August 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 2014 at 7:30 pm and August 24, 2014 at 2:00 pm

Comments about Matter of Time The Travel Toilet:
The sample bags they send with the unit are worthless. They even tear when you try to open them. I'd hate to see the "end" result.....
To add to that, you may want to experiment with other bags. They need to be 24" wide to fit over the seat. Most brands are not, as this seat is larger than most of the competition models. 5 stars if it wasn't for the bag issue.

Comments about Matter of Time The Travel Toilet:
I like just about all of the features of this product. It's lightweight, easy to use and durable. The only negative experience I encountered was that the bags do not fit over the base as well as advertised (I think because of the paper holder) and it seems a bit pricey.

It is very comfortable and sanitary to use, odor proof, leak proof and you do not need a bucket to sit on. It is absolutely awesome. Google up the Biffy Bag and Check it out.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
s 19904 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE December 10, 1970
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, the
Senate has passed every major Presidential
request for stern measures
against criminals. In addition the Senate
has. initiated and passed several
measures on its own, calling for stiffer
action against criminals. No matter how
stiff our legislative stance against the
criminal has been, however, the Senate
did not repeal the Constitution. And the
Constitution provides strict protections
for the accused until his guilt Is established
by a jury of his peers in a court of
Nothing should be done to change
those constitutional protections. They
are basic and they benefit us all-the
guilty and the innocent. Indeed, every
American should be proud that our system
provides so fully for the individual
in this regard and nothing should be
done to disturb this fundamental concern.
At the same time, society is obliged to
take stronger measures to deter crime;
it should provide for speedier trials for
the accused, for more pollee on the beat,
for better prison facilities-facilities that
will at least assure that UPOn his release,
the prisoner is not even more
menacing than he was when first incarcerated.
To help in the total fight on crime,
back in 1968, the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration was established
to channel vitally needed resources to
States and local communities and therebY
update police facilities and equipment.
Hopefully, when fully implemented, that
program will lead the way to vastly Improved
and more effective pollee efforts.
But there is another dimension to this
problem of crime; a dimension heretofore
largely igrtored. It concerns those who
-suffer because of crime. It concerns the
victim. For him the protection of society
has been grossly inadequate. To him,
unlike the accused, the protectilons of
our Constitution do not fully extend.
Up to now our concern has focused
mainly on the criminal. With the proposal
I will introduce, it is hoped that
that focus will shift, at least in part, to
his victim.
At the very least, the victim of the
crime should be made whole and under
my proposal he would be. Provided is a
form of compensation for those who suffer
from criminal violence. Any person
who is personally injured in the perpetration
of any crime would receive
pecuniary compensation. There would
be established a Federal Violent Crimes
Compensation Commission which would
make direct awards to the victim for injuries
suffered in the course of the
crimes committed within the narrow
Federal jurisdiction. In addition, a system
of block grants to the States would
underwrite similar State compensation
commissions for the victims who suffer
from crimes within the State and local
criminal jurisdictions. .
I would say further that when the
protection of society is not sufficient to
prevent a person from being victimized,
society then has the obligation to compensate
the victim for that failure of
protection. The measure I introduce covers
everyone. The unsuspecting victim of
rape. The policeman ambushed answering
a routine call. The fireman shot
down by a sniper when responding to
an alarm. The ghetto dweller, the suburbanite.
In short, the measure I introduce
provides for all who suffer from
criminal violence.
Mr. President, this is a time for bold
action. This is a time for Congress to
demonstrate to the people of America
that it is as interested in the problems
and suffering of victims of criminal acts
as it is in protecting rights of accused
criminals. Therefore, as the next Congress
convenes a month from now, I
shall reintroduce my proposal and urge
its prompt consideration. The victim of
crime deserves no less.
Mr. President, I send my bill to the
desk, ask for its appropriate reference
and that its text be printed at this point
in the RECORD.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tem~
pore (Mr. EAGLETON). The bl!l will be
received and appropriately referred;

Through the Holy Spirit the Gospel penetrates to the heart of the world, for it is He who causes people to discern the signs of the times - signs willed by God - which evangelization reveals and puts to use within history.
The church is not motivated by earthly ambition but is interested in one thing only - to carry on the work of Christ under the guidance of the holy Spirit, who came into the world to bear witness to the truth, to save and not to judge, to serve and not to be served.
May all those who wish to belong to Christ hear His appeal: "I was hungry and you gave me to eat, thirsty and you gave me to drink, a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, a prisoner and you came to see me" (Matt 25:35-6). No one can remain indifferent to the lot of fellow humans who are still buried in wretchedness, and victims of insecurity, slaves of ignorance.
Thus Christ accomplishes His revelation, completing it and confirming it by the entire revelation that He makes of Himself, by words and deeds, by signs and miracles, and more especially by His death, by His resurrection and by the sending of the Spirit of Truth.
God intended the earth and all that it contains for the use of every human being and people. Thus, as all follow justice and unite in charity, created goods should abound for them on a reasonable basis. All other rights whatsoever, including those of property and of free commerce, are to be subordinated to this principle.
From the beginning the Church has lived and understood the death an resurrection of Christ as a call by God to conversion in the faith of Christ and in fraternal love, perfected in mutual help even to the point of a voluntary sharing of material goods.
Christ lived his life in the world as a total giving of himself to God for the salvation and liberation of all.
[We offer] to the Council of the Laity and the Pontifical Commission Justice and Peace some fresh contributions, as well as an encouragement, for the pursuit of their task of 'awakening the people of God to a full understanding of its role at the present time' and of promoting the apostolate on the international level.'
The disproportionate distribution of wealth and poverty and the existence of some countries and continents that are developed and of others that are not call for a levelling out and for a search for ways to ensure just development for all.
A Catholic Social Teaching message from Pope Paul VI: "If you want Peace, work for Justice."
