Buying a Home
Know Your Property Assessment
With local governments looking to raise property taxes to make up budget shortfalls, it's more important than ever to make sure you're not paying more than you need to based on your property's true assessed value. The continued downward pressure on home prices is all the more reason to check your home's assessed value especially if there hasn't been any recent downward adjustment in assessed value.
- Check your assessment for accuracy. It's not uncommon for property assessors to make mistakes on property descriptions.
- Check your property information. You can usually go online to see how your home's value is calculated. Double-check that the square footage and the number of garage units is correct.
- Do your own comp. Much of the assessment is based on correlating properties in your area. Look at homes of similar size and features to see how your taxes compare.
- Compare property assessment to market conditions. If your home price has dropped significantly, look to see how property values have been adjusted by the assessor.
- Fight the assessment. Assessment appeals are fairly common, especially in areas of declining home values, and a good number of them are successful.

I happened to be visiting the brewery as Vinnie had finished and bottled, not yet labeled, his first batch of Temptation many years ago. He wasn't happy with some aspects of it but after chatting about the brew process for half an hour or so he brought up a few unlabeled bottles.
For the life of me I couldn't see what he didn't like about it, but then again anyone who knows Vinnie knows that he is a perfectionist. After tasting this and another beer (which I don't think ever went to market) he gave me a couple of bottles to cellar. I've just now seen it for the first time in a bottle in a beer store so was excited to down a few. This is absolutely one of the best beers that I have ever had.
Appearance - This is a beautiful, light straw blond in color with a gorgeous head. It's not big and foamy like a giant Belgian or a Weizen of course, but the bubbles are so incredibly tight and even you almost hate to drink it. Almost.
Smell - This is the most refined sour aroma I have ever had the pleasure of smelling. It's neither harsh nor offensive yet is still potent and sharp. The light grains in the background are equally refined.
Taste - The sourness is definitely a home run here. It is exceptionally strong yet not harsh like so many other Wild Ales. There's just enough sweetness to tame the flavor.
I can pick up some light white wine notes, which I'm guessing after reading up on the beer from the RR site is the chardonnay that seeped into the barrels that they use to age this beauty shop. The grain again is like a delicious light blonde ale grain that ads to the airy feeling you get when drinking this beer.
Mouthfeel - This was my favorite part of the drink. It is definitely light-bodied with a mature and technically advanced sourness and that terrific grain backbone actually makes this sail through the mouth. The carbonation is pure perfection, again according to the website the beer is carbonated in the bottle. It's just an enjoyable, light, airy texture that makes you want to keep on drinking.
Drinkability - This is the most quaffable sour ale I've ever had. It goes down so smooth and is so refreshing. How he put this thing together I'll never know.

Batch 001. Top notch presentation in a 12.7 ounce glass. Very unique bottle with a fantastic label. Cork and caged.
Pours a brilliant straw into long stem white wine glass. Carbonation is wildly disturbed by the shape of the glass causing a tidal clash of yeasty white head. The mountain of cream constantly dissolves and reforms each time I pick up the glass. This is a fun beer to play with. Carbonation streaming is flawless. I feel compelled to say that this is a perfect looking brew, a true 5.
Nose is a ballyhoo of citric zest but through that intensity spouts a surge of oak and then a second surge of vanilla. After a while this pandemonium blends into a nice cohesive chardonnay but thats not all. Above the lemons and oak barrel aromas there is something much more important Da Funk! That quality that one finds in a great lambic yep, its here.
Taste/Mouthfeel: An initial blast of sour grapes is quite fun but a bit overpowering. Seconds later, however, the palate is well adjusted and the Chardonnay like subtleties become palpable. The ever-present sourness is my favorite aspect of the beer but it does not outshine all else, as is the case in some lambics. Within the sour frame and coalescing with vanilla flavors lies a buttery mouthfeel. Its surprising and eminently pleasurable. Herein too we find a miscellany of citrus, pear, apricot, rotten hay, and white grape skins, all of which combines to form that wonderful funk that we all so enjoy.
Ingurgitate - To swallow greedily or in excessive amounts; gulp. Yep, thats this beer to a T-funk. If I may add a new adjective to my beer reviewing vocabulary, this one is inguritatable.

Big thanks to Jeff for sharing this one with me. Pours a golden-yellow color, translucent with lots of light shining through the edges. The foamy white head lasts for a bit as it settles and leaves some big, wet lacing.
The aroma is thoroughly acidic and tart. Sour apple skins, pears, light vinegar, faint lactic aromas. There's a mild woodiness behind all of the tart fruits, but there's no denying that this is a sour bomb. I was a bit shocked to find that there was quite a big vinous character in the aroma, too, until I read that this was aged in chardonnay barrel. Makes sense now. Very tingly on the nostrils, this one's gonna be sour - no doubt.
And sure enough, it is. Temptation is very sour, front and center. We're talking puckering sour, not just "mildly tart". Lemons are huge, as are apples and pears. Wow, this is just so, so, so, SO tart. Each sip feels more tart than the last. It hits the edges and corners of your mouth and gets your face scrunched up in no time. Not as sour as Beatification, still pretty damn tart. Light vinous notes, as well as a mild oak flavor on the tail, but the beer has a mostly sweet finish once that godly tartness finally dies down. Medium bodied, heavily carbonated.
I've come to expect a lot from Russian River, and rightfully so. Temptation delivers. It's a sour motherfucker, that's for sure. If you like sours and you haven't had this yet - get some. Now.

Thanks to brewdan for this one. Batch 3, 2009 vintage.
A: Slightly hazy yellow color with orange hues. A pretty big ivory-colored head leaves some lacings.
S: A nicely sharp smell full of character. Funky horse blanket and aged cheese. Lots of tart fruits (apples, pears, lemon) and general notes of berries. Notes of fermenting apples as well. Light hints of oak barrel and a nice touch of alcohol in the background. A very impressive smell.
T: The taste is semi-sweet at first, but then turns rather tart. The tartness isn't really mouth-wrecking, but feels genuine and robust. A wonderful combination of pleasant fruit aromas (green apples, gooseberries, lemon) and funky notes of barnyard and mud. A hint of wood. Nice bretty flavors. In the finish, there's a mild grassy bitterness, sweet and phenolic alcohol, a gentle leafy hop note and a dry tartness.
With the last poor (I let all the yeast go into the glass) the beer changes character a bit. The tartness is muted and notes of vanilla and nuts develop.
M: Light body with a refreshing cider-like carbonation.
D: A very good wild ale. This one could probably go head to head with some of the milder Belgian gueuzes. Very refreshing and enjoyable. Impressive.

On tap at Falling Rock.
Cloudy gold with solid white lacing.
Nose is delicate, light barnyard, lemon.
Perfectly sour and geuze-like. zesty lemon,light horseblanket, acidic citrus.
Light medium body with a dry, astringent finish.
This is a sessionable sour. I'm suprised how much of this they had.

4.4/5 rDev -1.3%
A - Hazy Golden Straw, Light Foamy White Head, some Lacing
S - There is a strong white wine aroma with tart pears and grapes. Yeast aromas give the nose some funk. The aroma is definitely complex and I'm sure I could have spent more time discovering its intricacies.
T - This is pretty damn sour. Very tart citrus, white grape, and apple. Bretty funk taste. On the far back end, there is a bit of a harsh bitterness, like lemon peel, that lasts for thirty seconds or so after I swallow and detracts from an otherwise wonderful sour beer.
M -Medium-bodied with just the right amount of dry, sour character. A little more sweetness than some sours, which I appreciated.
O - A great sour for sure but it didn't quite live up to the hype that the other sours did for me from RR. I actually prefer Sanctification to this. Definitely glad I tried this.

1.5 Liter olive colored bottle with batch #001 on the label. This bottle is 7.25% abv and barrel aged for 12 months. Poured into two Duvel glasses ... cheers to Vinnie for the big ass bottle.
A- Clear orange gold hue, etching in Duvel glass expresses a beautiful trail of bubbles that hold the white lace together. Speaking of the lace ... absolutely wonderful as it sticks all over the glass.
S- Farmy aroma with a goat-like white wine smell. Suggestions of lemons, sour cherries and wet grass. Hint of phenols and a refined fusel alcohol in the back.
T- Cherry tartness ... BANG! Underlying lime edge, a touch of mineral / salts. Biscuity bread crust maltiness, very dry. Very faint on the wood. Fruity all over with a hidden warming alcohol. Leafy hop character holds a restrained bitterness.
M- Creamy mouth feel, fluffy, light and dry.
D- So flavorful and interesting it is hard to put down. We could easily sip this all night long.
High marks for originality.

Batch 001. 375ml bottle. Pours into my tulip glass a deep golden yellow with nice clarity, fine active carbonation and a creamy white head. Aromas flow out of the glass with sun drenched grains and a fruity profile (green apple). The oak is there with a vinous aroma as well. Brett moves in with a noticeable sourness and an underlying funky, hay/barnyard aroma. Draws me in with its wonderful array of scents.
First sip brings a light sun dried malt with fruity flavors of lemon, citrus and grapes. Oak and woody tannin tones are met by a sourness that flows in. Hay, must and barnyard flavors mix in on the way down. Acidity is there but is well managed and never becomes too much. The Brettanomyces works in so well. Finishes a bit dry. Just an amazing beer.
Mouthfeel is medium to light and arid with mellow carbonation that rolls across the tongue perfectly. Incredibly refreshing and easy to drink. Just an amazing brew overall. I could easily sit down and enjoy a couple of bottles of this to myself and be in heaven. Yet another winner from Russian River, I only wish this wasn't my only bottle. Temptation is worth seeking out and enjoying.

Received from AKSmokedPorter...
I had about an once and a half of this at a beer tasting and thought it was amazing. I just had to have a full bottle for myself...
Hazy apricot in color. Quick disappearing white head. Only a small pool of bubbles sits on top. Aroma is tart apples and some white grapes. Again the tart apples and white grapes come through in the taste. Some hints of light oak work their way in. Smells much tarter than it actually is. Has some initial tartness on the tongue and a touch of spices. Very similar to a wine. Super clean palate on this one, nothing which seems 'off-flavored'.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but to style. Carbonation is evident. Finishes very dry. Super drinkable. A nicely constructed flavor that isn't overbearing.

O-line the Chiefs' unsung heroes
It has taken a team effort for the Chiefs to shockingly jump out to a 3-0 start, but the unsung heroes of the team's league-best running game have been the offensive linemen.

text: I don't want to minimize the problem... but we'll just have to see what shakes out at Canadians and 4CC.. we have seen very talented , hard working teams manage to catch a bit of momentum before.. I think it's possible though far from assured for both teams. With P/I, I think they've made good progress at DSC and we haven't seen them in weeks , so there can be more to come from them even this year. Their FD ,especially, is an excellent vehicle..and I hope their polka has shaped up a lot. I don't worry so much about the music choice ..not like I did at the beginning of the season. If I/K can get away with their SD, it won't be the music , but the levels that tell the tale. ETA;..Um..I wonder if they're taking part in DSC's pay-per-view Skating Gala? it's soooo close to Canadians..but just a hop, skip and Jump down the road... If so , I hope someone will report.

Westchester Medical Practice pediatrician recommends ways to reduce back strain, risk of scoliosis
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (September 7, 2010) – When it comes to backpacks, less is more. Overloaded backpacks can cause back strain and, in growing children, can do permanent damage, sometimes resulting in scoliosis or curvature of the spine.
Dr. Michael Lasser, a pediatrician with Westchester Medical Practice in Cortlandt Manor, says that while we are headed for a paperless society with i-Pads, on-line textbooks and laptops, most children will still be carrying backpacks loaded with books this fall.
"The wave of the future is not here quite yet," said Lasser, MD FAAP."Parents need to work with their children to ensure that they are not overloading their backpacks, they are sized properly and that the shoulder straps are properly adjusted."
Lasser said that parents can head off damage by following a few simple rules:
Keep it Light.
Fit is Right
Straps Tight
Balance Right
Tried and True

I am bad with names but the lady who helped me was very accommodating. I reserved a 10x10 over the phone a few days prior with a man. Once we saw the 10x10 and got home to start loading up to take a trip in, we realized that it wasn't going to be big enough. We loaded anyway, drove to the facility, and the lady was able to quickly help us find a larger unit. I was surprised on how fast that process took. It was nice as we were on a tight time line that day. Kudos on the service level.Samantha from Raleigh, NC

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Irwin "Jake" GREAT Tennis Shoe! In July 2013, I used the Barricade 3 (all blue color) playing in the World Maccabiah Games that are held in Israel only once every 4 years. The shoe was a little heavy, but I got used to it quickly, since it provided really good traction on the red clay courts of the tournament. After the Games, I bought the Adidas Barricade 8 tennis shoe in white; this shoe wasn't available before I played in the Games in Israel. The Barricade 8 is simply a great clay court shoe with the herringbone sole providing excellent traction. I like this shoe for 4 more reasons: 1. It is lighter weight than the blue Barricade 3 clay court shoe that also has a herringbone pattern sole. 2. It fits extremely well -- the toe seems slightly wider than the Barricade 3; the 8 is very easy to put on and is VERY comfortable 3. I love the all white color -- looks great. Not a fan of the other psychedelic colors of this shoe -- love the white -- always a classic. 4. The Barricade 8 does equally as well on hard court, but has extremely good traction on clay. I put my own orthotic insoles in all my tennis shoes, but only use Adidas tennis shoes, which I find to be the most comfortable tennis shoe out there, with the right feel of a toe box and overall fit. Wish Adidas would make more of an arch in their insole pads, but most other tennis shoe manufacturers don't do that either, hence the reason for putting in my own. The Barricade 8 is a GREAT tennis shoe -- the right weight (not too heavy at all#, the right fit, excellent support without being restrictive #some of the earlier Barricades I find to be too stiff, heavier and restrictive) -- Great job, Adidas -- with the 8, you made a FANTASTIC tennis shoe! Thanks... February 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TennisWarrior Finally a Barricade that rivals the Barricade 2 I have worn barricades since the 1st version but standardized on the Barricade II for last 10 years( 50+ pairs worn). I kept trying the latest models of the barricade but could not move to them because they were just not as comfortable and stable as the Barricade IIs. I have found a winner. The Barricade 8 matches the comfort and stability of the Barricade II and offers the newest technology from the Adidas brand. I have worn them every day for the last month during practice and tournaments and they have withstood the durability and comfort test with aplomb. September 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by GaryZuk Stick to 7.0 The 8.0 is an extremely poor shoe. I was sent shoe as warranty replacement for my 7.0 shoes, which I absolutely loved. The tongue is so thin and without any hardness to it, its really hard to lace up shoe and have tongue sit where it should, and the laces dig into your upper foot. The sole is so hard, no cushioning, my feet were so sore, as was my back. The upper part of shoe is so cheap looking, with its plastic fake mesh, and so flimsy, if you are looking for any lateral ankle support, forget about it. I surely wish they just kept making 7.0. Horrible shoe, stay away January 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by CoachBrom I'm sticking to the 7s Without a pivot point on the ball of the foot the shoe loses much of its traction on a hard court. A pivot point would be a break in the design, like a circle or something similar, to provide more traction to the player when changing direction. This shoe, with the continuous herringbone design would be great for clay courts and should be advertised as such, but is an awful shoe for hard court play. I played tennis or coach tennis nearly 45 hours a week and have been playing with barricades for nearly my entire tennis career and am sorely disappointed with these shoes. I should have known better than to buy shoes for hard court play with out soles of this design. Check out the barricade 7s; they are fantastic shoes. August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shadwwzar Don't pass up this baby! Barricade 8, what a great combination of comfort and control right out of the box. I'm 6' 2" in height and weigh 220 Lbs. So I put my shoes under a lot of stress on the tennis court. I've owned Barricades since the Barricade 5 and have loved all of them for one reason or another but, this Barricade 8 is the pinnicle of shoe performance and comfort. Great traction, control and comfort. I also like that I can get my shoes customized. I haven't done the customizing yet, but, I most definetly will for a second pair of Barricade 8's. And of course, I always like that I can buy the Adidas shoes in 13 1/2 size, so much better than clopping around in size 14's. Adidas is number one in my book. They really care about us. November 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lolly J the Best Quite possibly the best tennis shoes ever made . July 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BigTennis Best tennis shoe Long time fan of Barricades but had switched to lighter shoes the last couple of years. Even though this version is not extremely light it strikes the perfect balance with unbelievable support. January 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Tennis101 Very Uncomfortable I bought the shoes for the support but all I got was a heavier shoe and it dug into my ankle while playing. I'd rather play with my bare feet. April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Buke Best Adidas shoe I've ever owned The only reason I did not rate them great at this time is because I've only had them a couple of weeks. So far, I really do like them. I especially like the width as compared to my previous Adidas shoes....the 8' is a little wider and more comforable. January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Barricade4Ever Need more options ! I've purchase about 3 pair of the mi barricades, but the latest options just don't let the creator go wild and get creative. For $180, need more options before I click the "BUY" button on these the mi8's. November 7, 2013

Retiring Chicago Alderman Dick Mell reflected Friday on his decades as a player in the city's old-school machine politics and said one of his only regrets is aiding the rise of son-in-law and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, now in prison for corruption.
Mell helped Blagojevich make it to Congress in 1996 and later the governor's mansion, but the two men subsequently had a public falling out that Mell said left a "terrible schism" between himself and his daughter. He said he wished he had done things differently.
With the benefit of hindsight, "I think that he would have probably stayed a state representative," Mell said of his son-in-law.
The 75-year-old Mell handed in his resignation letter this week after 38 years as alderman in the 33rd ward on Chicago's North Side. It takes effect July 24.
He spoke with reporters at City Hall Friday about key moments including the time in 1987 when he stood on his desk demanding to be recognized as a raucous City Council session battled over who would replace Mayor Harold Washington, who had died.
Mell said his falling out with Blagojevich and the turmoil endured by his family continued to weigh on him. He said that and his wife's death were two painful episodes that blemished what he otherwise regards as a lucky and fulfilling life.
"It's difficult to tell you how I really feel," Mell said. But he said he hopes for Blagojevich that his 14-year federal prison sentence is reduced.
"You've not been able, or you have not talked to him since he went to Englewood, Colorado, to federal prison," FOX 32's Mike Flannery said in an interview with Mell.
"Obviously, I'm with my granddaughters and my daughter and hopefully he'll get some relief from the burden that he has in the appeal process," Mell responded.
As the 75-year-old Mell recounted his own long career, there were moments of loud laughter. He talked at length of the patronage system that, under the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, controlled City Hall's contracts and jobs. He got a call from Daley the night he first won his Council seat in 1975.
"First thing I do is I get rewarded for just getting elected. 'Can you send a few guys down who'd like to be truck drivers?' Oh, sure. I'd love to, Mr. Mayor," Mell recalls.
But when Mell announced he was going to vote against a proposed West Side expressway plan, Daley's patronage chief brought down the hammer.
"He said, 'Let me tell you something. If you vote against that (bleep) thing, you'll never get one job from this administration. I'll guarantee that,'" Mell explains. "I immediately realized that was something that wasn't that important to the people of my ward."
Mell's own 33rd Ward Democratic precinct captains would also bring the hammer down on voters who failed to get to the polls as they had promised. One family appealed to Mell after a precinct worker named Wayne reclaimed a garbage can he'd given them.
"I said, 'Don't worry about it. There's another election.' She said, 'Would you ask Wayne to bring the cans back?' He went over and dumped the garbage out of the can and took the cans away. I said, 'Wayne, get your ass back and take the cans back, put the garbage back in the can. And apologize to 'em.'"
Mell claimed his opposition to Mayor Harold Washington was about political power and had nothing to do with the race of Chicago's first black mayor. He said he did not understand at the time what Washington stood for in the minds of millions of African-Americans.
"I had no idea that the reverence that the African-American community held in Mayor Washington," Mell continues. "I think Mayor Washington to a lot of African-Americans was Dr. King and Obama and many other African-Americans rolled into one.
Turning to the future, he said he hopes his daughter, state Rep. Deborah Mell, would get serious consideration as a possible replacement for him on the City Council.
Mell said Friday that he has spoken with Emanuel about the possibility of his daughter succeeding him as alderman, but that there is "no understanding" between himself and the mayor that she will get the job.
"I think she's a very bright girl. I think she works very, very hard. But again, the mayor's going to make that choice," Mell said. "I will live with the choice that he makes."
Emanuel has promised an "open process" to choose a replacement, whom he hopes to have in office by July 24.
"I am looking for a candidate with a strong background, solid ties to the community, and a willingness to tackle the tough issues facing Chicagoans," Emanuel said in a statement this week.
Friday was the first day residents of the ward could apply for the job. Emanuel will appoint what he described as a community-based commission to vet applicants and submit a shortlist from which he will choose Mell's replacement.

text: Trenary was doing harder jumps than Witt, Thomas, or Kadavy in 86-88 with a triple flip in long and triple flip combo in short. Her artistry was better than Thomas, and in some ways better than Witt as her positions were prettier and lines nicer. Her figures were great. So why couldnt she be a champion and be the dominant skater of 86-88. At the 88 Olympics she cleanly did a triple flip combo. One would think with her high artistic marks too she would win the short over Witt who did only a triple toe combo but she was only placed 6th with really low technical marks. Were her jumps small and very low quality compared to the other top girls even when she did them cleanly. Is that what held her back? Or was it speed or weak spins. Maybe if I saw her live I would understand. Also had she not gotten injured could she have been a gold contender at the 91 and 92 events even without figures. At the 1990 Goodwill Games she made 3 mistakes in the long program and lost only a 4-3 split to Kristi Yamaguchi who had only 1 mistake even with Kristi's much harder jumps and already matured artistic side, so it seems she could beat Kristi if both skated well and Kristi won all of the 91 Worlds, 92 Olympics, and 92 Worlds, so it looks like Jill would have been a big contender for gold based on that. Such an underrated and talented skater who seems skating fans dont appreciate today. I think it is because she beat incredible best ever skating by Ito to win the 1990 Worlds but it was not her fault she did so much better in figures that event, which is the only reason she won. The judges acknowledged her free skating was much weaker than Ito there, but the system gave her the gold, not the judges. She seems hated forever for that though, even after years of being underrated by judges compared to overrated Witt and sometimes Thomas and Manley.
