Had this on tap at the brewery (1.060 S.G., 42 IBU's, 6.1 % ABV).
An American Brown Ale that's malty and mildly hoppy. It poured a dark brown with a nice tan half-inch head that lasted a bit. It's not quite my style but a brown ale's go I've had much worse and more thin brews. It was just okay for me but I wouldn't choose it again if I had a choice.

Poured on-tap and served in a tumbler pint, the beer is a slightly hazed, ruby-brown coloring with a filmy, white head. There is a nose of roasted toffee and nut, with a hoppy undertone. The flavors are rich caramel and hazelnut, with a resiny and peppery hops undertone to clean it all up. Tasty. Bitter and sweet balanced aftertaste, with a clean, smooth finish. Very good brew.

I've had this beer several times over the years, finally reviewing.
Consumed 10/16
Served in a pint glass
A: This beer pours a medium brown with garnet/ruby highlights to it. 1/4 inch of khaki colored head tops this brew. Minimal lacing sticks to the glass.
S: Nose is of sweet caramel, molasses, and roasted malts.
T: Taste starts with caramel sweetness in the forefront. A nice nutty-ness and roasted malt flavoring fill out the middle. Finish has hints of brown sugar mingled with a bit of hop bite in the finish.
M: Lighter side of medium body, moderate carbonation, smooth body.
D: Goes down easily, mild kick, not very filling, nice representation of style. I could, and did, have a few pints of this one.

Had on tap as part of sample tray. Served in a small/medium sample glass.
A-dark brown body and an off-white head.
S-caramel smell
T-juicy hop flavor in the front and a balanced malt (cereal) finish
D-I found this to be my favorite brew at Watch City Brewing. Great malt flavor and nice hop balance. I would drink this again.

Dark brown and just slightly translucent with chestnut edges. It was topped by a creamy light tan cap that left a lot of lace on the glass. Aromas of citrus and resinous hops, malty and nutty. Moderate bitterness, citrus/grapefruit hops, sweet caramel and toffee notes with a little chocolate character. Medium body with fine carbonation, decent texture but a little bit coarse. A good drink with lunch on a cool, rainy day.

(from the 13th anniversary party on april 11, 2009)
clear, dark brown with amber hue. nice creamy tan head slowly recedes to thin frothy layer, and eventually just a ring. great lacing.
aroma: lightly fruity, nutty with caramel malt and hint of roast, maybe even some coffee. earthy hops.
taste: NUTTY! caramelized, lightly roasted malts, with nice sweetness, revealing a fruity baked apple note too. balanced by a mild but noticeable hop kick, grassy and earthy, with a very faint citrus character. the bitterness is gentle to moderate, with a coffee note in the finish.
light but very smooth. gentle to moderate carbonation is prickly upfront, but fades back to smoothness.
great stuff!

A nice finger of creamy light tan head tops each pint. The beer is a deep mahogany color with dark reddish tones. Like a nice piece of furniture. Retention decent, not much lacing.
Aroma is of deep malt and sweet caramel. Fairly aggressive aroma. Nice.
This is a big chewy caramel that also has a sense of brown sugar. Also with nut like notes and a touch of cinnamon. Also some cocoa or chocolate tones that hold on towards the finish. Fairly sweet but not cloying.
The body is very thick and bold.
I really enjoyed this brew. It had a fresh sense to it and went very well with food.
Nice Nut Brown... Bigger then most.

Growler obtained at the brewpub by a friend. Thanks Scott!
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/4" dense tan head over the clear burgundy brown brew. Head falls at a moderate pace, with strength around the rim, and good lacing lace. Aroma is nutty hearty grain. Taste follows the nose to start, then sees the bitterness come on and balance to the close. Mouthfeel is creamy but a touch grainy, and drinkability is good. Nice brown.

I just returned from a business trip to Waltham, MA. Everyone there suggested Watch City for food and beer. Well, I'm sold. Their food is real good and the beer is awesome, most notably, Titan Ale.
It pours a dark brown with an off-white head. Decent size head. Not too much. This is darker than most browns I've had.
The smell is very inviting. It makes you want to taste it right away. However, it doesn't smell quite as sweet as most browns.
The taste was excellent. I didn't want to put it down. My co-worker and I tried all of their beers while we were in Waltham. This was by far their best beer. They really have something here. We visited this restaurant 3 times in 6 days due to how much we enjoyed this brew. Think of this as a "hoppier" brown ale. Very drinkable.
I tried to figure out a way to get some home to Florida. But, all they had were the 60 ounce bottles for $12.99 (nice price!). Those won't travel well on the plane (if I got it through security) and I couldn't ship something like that. I miss drinking this beer very much and have had cravings for it since I got home.
Two thumbs up for Watch City!!

Pours a slightly light brown color with a very nice white head that stays throughout the drink.
I did not get much of a smell out of this beer. A slight smell of malts and a bit of citrus.
Flavor is of toasted grains and then the hops take over. Fairly good balance between the two of these two elements.
Mouthfeel is smooth, but not the usual thickness in a brown ale that I like.
This smooth brown is a good offering and very drinkable. However, I wouldn't really want to drink too much of it, because of the general lack of interest.

Pours a very dark brown that only lets a tiny bit of light in through the edges. One finger head that fades into a thin ring along the edge of the pint glass.
Faint smells of burnt chocolate brownie or maybe even fudge. With a subtle blast of warm french toast.
Tastes of bitter chocolate malt that fades quickly. Hint of honey and a pinch of brown sugar.
The tiny amounts of carbonation and the overall smoothness make this brown betty a fairly ok to drink.
Overall I like this beer on a slightly chillier or foggy/rainy day (which is not how I had it for this review, but have before). This beer would be decent as long as it wasn't warm out.

Takes about five minutes to be served (to allow for the head to settle). My glass had to be drawn three times. Pours with a Guinness-like cascade of bubbles. Dark brown in color, cloudy. Impressive.
Great hop aroma (even with the wait). Nice crystal malt smells as well.
This is a hoppier beer than most brown ales. But there is also a stronger dry malt flavor which creates great balance. Very rich body with great carbonation.
This is the best beer to date that I've experienced at Watch City. This is also one of the best beers I've had in the past year. If you're near Waltham and reading this near March 29, 2007, check this one out!

This is a really good beer. It is their take on a Northwestern Brown Ale. For my money, it is as good a take as you can find in a Boston area brewpub. It is rich and smooth. It is full enough bodied to stand up to any food, but not such so that it becomes undrinkable. It is malty and roasty, but finishes with a nice hop kick. It is definitely a good take on the style by Watch City.

4.08/5 rDev +8.8%
Appearance: Holy crap, this beer is overcarbonated. I opened it ten minutes ago, and still can't fill the glass. Every effort is repulsed by a tremendous avalanche of bubbles--I waited until the head died entirely, then attempted to fill the glass several times with no success. I have no idea about quality control/consistency with Watch City, but it looks like they rarely bottle their beers. This is supported by the very plain label with the alcohol content handwritten in black marker. Anyway, other than the head, it's a thick, cloudy dark brown.
Smell: Hoppy, chocolatey, a little bit of grape.
Taste: Malty and vinuous at first, with a roasted, chocolate, and slightly hoppy finish. I really like the way this tastes. It actually reminds me of sparkling grape juice (fake wine)--with additional character, of course.
Mouthfeel: Fizzy.
Drinkability: I'm assuming the carbonation thing is an anomaly, and I feel bad because I really like the way this beer tastes and smells and I know the appearance and mouthfeel scores are going to drag the overall score down. Anyway, I think this is a more balanced version of the Brooklyn Brown and Duck-Rabbit Brown; a hoppy brown ale, but in a subtler way. I would kill to try this on-tap.
Thanks to fdrich29 for the bottle.

Had this while out with BAs a bit ago. Could look up and see the mighty Biere Titan poster looking down at my me while I drank. Aah, the Biere Titan! Ok, this was actually the 'best' beer of the bunch, even considering all the other newer ones that were on. I think it had the best meld of all the flavors coming together, even though it probably wasn't the highest abv or other excitement on at the time. Dark brown with a tan head, the aroma was low, but with a balance of malt to hops. Tight fine carbonation. Medium + body. Some nice maltyness, but an interesting twist with the grassy hop finish.

This one came from a Growler purchased by my Brother-in-Law 4 days ago...hand delivered to my house...what a family I inherited.
Pours a very dark brown/red color w/ a slight tan head...minimal lace.
Hints of raisin, toasted malts, and a touch of alcohol.
A very nice texture w/ smooth drinkability. It could be a session beer w/out much effort.
This is not the one beer I would want to keep on hand, but a very decent brown that I could enjoy any night out.

This was draft poured from a growler into a shaker pint glass. The color was a deep garnet to mahogany. It first poured with a thick tan colored head that quickly receded. A delicate lace on the glass slid back into the beer as I studied it. The nose is very delicate with hints of candy, figs, dates coming from the malt. The taste is dominated by that same sweetness. The malt comes up front and is accented by the hops rather than separated from them. It has a very nice lightness and a great drinkability. I originally got this growler because they lacked any other kind I could take home. Im glad I tried it.

One cannot expect a rookie quarterback to be scoring touchdowns week-in and week-out, even if the player is No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton. On Saturday, the Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback completed 23 of 40 passes for 212 yards, but he had zero touchdowns to go with his one interception. He was the team's leading rusher wit 55 yards on seven carries.
Newton was not expected to be outstanding on Sunday -- at least through the air -- after being added to the injury report late in the week with a shoulder injury. There were actually reports that he would be on a sort of "pitch count," though the actual number of throws he was expected to attempt was never published.
The Titans certainly had their work cut out for them on Sunday as Newton had thrown for 11 touchdowns and rushed for seven more in the red zone -- a rookie record he's already broken once this season.
For more on Newton and the Panthers, be sure to check Cat Scratch Reader. For all of your fantasy needs, SB Nation's Fantasy Football page is a great resource.

On Tap
Alpine Beer Company Pub
Alpine, CA
Thanks to BdubleEdubleRUN for giving me the heads up that this was on tap!
Clear ruby and grapefruit with a thin, wispy off-white head that eventually leaves spots of lace everywhere down the glass. Very pretty.
A sharply tart aroma with plenty of musty barnyard funk--pretty rad. The aroma of sweet and tart cherries is in the forefront, wrapped nicely by a surrounding funky cheese/hay scent. Sweet, sour, funky, fruity--this one's got it all!
The flavor is just as complete, surprising, and successful. The cherry flavor comes in waves of balanced sweetness and tartness, the musky, cheesy funk is present and there's a mild, lingering bitterness.
The only weak spot of this beer is perhaps its mouthfeel. It's a bit watery and low of carbonation.
A deliciously tart kriek, and certainly the surprise hit of my trip to Alpine (that and the pulled pork sandwich, naturally).

Went out to Alpine to try this one, they have been talking about it for a long time.
Poured into a tulip this beer has almost a violet hue to it with a fast building and faster fading head that completely disappears.
The smell is extremely stong and pungent. Smells very sour with malt vinegar, cherry, some very strong funkiness like week old gym socks.
The taste is very sour with tart cherry and a citrus quality as well as a bit of bread.
Lighter bodied then I expected, well cabonated and a lasting bite from the sourness.
Really enjoyed this one and the extremeness of the acidity and sourness.

Was lucky to catch this on tap at alpine beer co. Poured a very murky grapefruit ruby red. Small bit of white ring, no residual lacing or bubbles. Nose is filled with funky brett, cherries, and tartness. Tongue is a bit different, starts out with a good amount of puckering cherries, through the middle it almost takes on a pie crust character, then ends with a acidic vinegar twinge. Mouthfeel is characterized by light-medium carbonation concomitant to acidic burn. Overall, im impressed that alpine pulled this off. Among the other sours that have come out, they have been quite consistent, and this does not fall short.

On tap at Alpine. 6oz. pour into a snifter.
A: Beer is served with a .5 finger foamy white head with decent retention. Beer is a cloudy, pale, grapefruit pulp color. Lacing is stringy but ample and with decent stick.
S: Nose is tart cherries, slight Brett funkiness, and a touch of vinegar. Sweet overall and pungent with a large fruit component.
T: Opens cherry sweetness that sours towards the middle. Acidity lingers in the background. Puckering towards the middle with an infusion of tart cherry. Finishes messy and sour with a cherry and other red fruit sweetness. Moerately dry.
M: Light to medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Lively in the mouth in the beginning but the carbonation leaves this one quickly, producing an oily and smooth beer. Finish is messy with an aftertaste that lingers.
D: It's not fair to compare this to the traditional Belgian Lambics so I'm not going to judge it that way. Instead, considering AWAs and other American attempts at simulating a lambic, this is very very good. Sucks that its draft only but definitely worth seeking out.

Thanks for sharing, Chris.
A: Appears pink tinged red with a small fizzy head.
S: Aroma is quite funky, with notes of barnyard, wet horse blanket, and cheese. Oak is noticeable, and the cherries smell ripe, fresh, and lactic. It's sweaty and musty, with notes of hay and some wet leather, again, it's quite funky for an American Wild.
T: The taste displays a vibrant and delicious cherry profile with a strong acetic bite. It's musty, slightly brackish, and tannic, with subtle oak notes, a moderate lactic quality, and a mouth puckering, mouth watering tartness. The cherry finish exhibits a moderate acetic burn and a drying, tannic oak quality in the mouthfeel. There's also an ephemeral cherry sweetness just before the end.
M: Good carbonation, dry, tannic. Light medium bodied.
Overall: A very good cherry American sour. Very enjoyable. This has a nice complex dirty funk profile. Better than Chez Monieux.

A-Light ruby red color. Very vibrant. Maybe an orangish, pinkish, brownish. Small white head of tight white bubbles that settles to a little ring around the glass. A swirl of the glass releases some carbonation and leaves some nice lacing that slowly settles into the glass.
S-A very bright sour cherry aroma. A little sweetness as well but not too much. A nice acidic quality.
T-Cherry, very tart in the cheeks. Maybe some funky cheese in the middle/finish. Then taken over by the acid and tart cherries.
M-A little on the watery side and slightly carbonated. A little disappointing.
Very drinkable. Great flavor and aroma. The mouthfeel was a little distracting though.

On tap at the Alpine pub. The foundation for this beer is apparently Briscoe, Alpine's unblended sour beer. Unlike Chez Monieux, which is aged in wine barrels with cherries, this beer involves no oak but significantly more fruit.
Appearance: Turbid reddish-pink with small head that settles completely, leaving no lacing or collar. The body has a bright, glowing cherry flesh color to it.
Smell: Strong lactic acidity and vibrant tart cherries. As it warms, brettanomyces begins to take over, transforming this into one seriously funky beer.
Taste & mouthfeel: Very sharp and sour, lactic acid melds with the sourness of the cherries to create a puckering but very clean mouthfeel. The cherry character is strong but not necessarily dominant - brett has contributed a lot to the flavor, lending a leathery, drying funk. The body is light, effervescence fairly high. No acetic harshness, this goes down very easy.

Went to the new Alpine BBQ/Pub and they had this on that. I had never heard of it, and assumed it was a tweak of the Chez Monieux. Apparently it is the base beer of Chez Moneiux (Briscoe? a cherry lambic) that isn't barrel aged and has a heaping amount of more cherries added. Information is spotty, I would like to hear more about it.
Anyway, arrived in a tulip showing a rosy peach juice color, very hazy & cloudy.
Aroma is almost shocking turning to odd. Stinks of moldy unwashed feet and ripe cherry juice. Some barn funk, more fruit notes. Odd that it can be off-putting and so interesting at the same time.
Beer is nicely carbonated. Immediately acidic on the tongue, with a burst of cherry flavor, some cherry skin as well. Somewhat sweet, not sharply sweet or cloying. Fairly sour, Slight astringent finish. No heavy buildup on the tongue after several sips, the carbonation serves it well. The fruit is incorporated very well, not overwhelming but not fermented out.
Quite an interesting and perplexing beer... stanky, sour, fruity...others at the table that like sours were put off by the stench. It doesn't get a lower score on the 'Smell' because it is so multi-faceted. The acidic bite is a bit too strong for me which dings the mouthfeel. I thoroughly enjoyed the beer aside from those marks, and I hope to get it again.

A business plan for a microbrewery that would be sited at an almost-100 year old abandoned schoolhouse on Sound Avenue was presented to the Riverhead Town Zoning Board of Appeals last week.
The proposal has incited some resistance from community members in its earliest stages.
According to the concept business plan presented to the ZBA, the principals would invest a minimum of $300,000 to build a microbrewery that would include a tasting room, which would be open from noon to 5 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and fom 11 a.m. till 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The brewery, according to plans, would be family friendly and would include the standing tasting bar, and two additional rooms. One room would include small tables and chairs for a "light food area" that would sell snacks; another counter would offer gifts and souvenirs for sale.
The second room would be used for the brewing production area; educational presentions would be given. Classes and students would be invited from local schools.
Outside, the plan calls for exterior gardens with small tables where guests would be entertained by a piano player or jazz group -- the patio would be available for visitors' special use in season, for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions.
Seasonal events including hay rides, pumpkin picking, fall festivals, Easter egg hunts, pony rides, and children's events -- with special permits required in advance.
Attorney John Ciarelli, representing property owner John Reeve, Jr., said the concept for McCarthy's On The Green, Inc., presented by principals Tim McCarthy, of Lake Grove, and George Greene, of Wading River, who would rent the space, as a microbrewery, is a use consistent with ag-tourism. He said the business would be allowable under a pre-existing, non-conforming use.
Another alternative, he said, is that a special permit be granted to exchange one non-conforming use for another.
The application has been nixed in the past by the town's planning department because the parcel is smaller than what is required by town code to support an accessory agricultural use.
Ciarelli said "reasonable conditions" would be imposed. Another alternative, he suggested, would be to establish an agricultural production use on a non-conforming lot.
The concept has sparked fears amongst some neighbors concerned about a microbrewery on Sound Avenue.
"It is one thing for a Riverhead farmer to grow hops and have a tasting room for his homebrewed beer on his farm; it's a whole other thing when two guys want to open up a tavern/restaurant on Sound Avenue," said Dominique Mendez of the Riverhead Neighborhood Preservation Coalition Inc.
"It's just not what the agricultural protection zone is all about, nor our rural corridor," Mendez added. "It bogs the mind that anyone would seriously consider allowing a microbrewery as an accessory use to a farm that doesn't exist — and the alternative variance requests are just about as ridiculous. I doubt you'd hear one peep opposing this venture if it were going downtown in one of the many vacant properties. It simply doesn't conform to zoning, doesn't qualify for a variance, and doesn't belong on Sound Avenue."
Georgette Keller, president of the Jamesport/South Jamesport Civic Association and founder of the Save Main Road organization, said while she hasn't read the business proposal yet, she believes the town has its work cut out ahead. "Until the ZBA determines whether the pre-existing, non-conforming use is continuing or whether it lapsed makes a difference here," she said.
If the property owner applied for landmark status, that could allow for some flexibility of zoning as a condition of granting the status, Keller said. "I don't have an up or down vote on it yet but I think it's going to be a long road before getting there. I hope the town does its due diligence before making a decision," she said.

Georgia Power is keeping a watchful eye on a severe weather system that is expected to roll through metro Atlanta on Wednesday. Crews say they're ready if the severe weather causes power outages in metro Atlanta."All of our employees are ready to go and on standby if anything were to occur tomorrow and we'll be ready to get the lights back on should the power go out," said Georgia Power spokesperson Brian Green. Green says monitoring the weather is part of what they do at Georgia Power. They'll be keeping a keen eye on the storm system."We have a storm center here on sight and a team of folks who are constantly monitoring weather and ready to get our crews out to any outages that occur," Green said.Georgia Power has more than 70 operating headquarters throughout the state. It's where the linemen would respond to any potential weather outages."Sometimes we have broken poles and sometimes we just can't get the lights on as fast as we would necessarily like. But we're always in the field working as hard as we possibly can to get our crews dispatched and get them to the troubled areas as quickly as possible," Green said. Green says there are some steps you can take to keep you and your family safe if the lights go out during a weather event."You can maintain the temperature in your home for about 48 hours should you lose power if you keep your doors and windows closed during an event," Green said. If you run across a downed power line, just leave it to the experts at Georgia Power."You never know if that power line is live so be sure to always stay away from downed power lines," Green said.

Stray bullet comes through Palo Alto roof

This seems like a good show idea for mythbusters. It is surprising that it came through the ceiling. It must have had a shallow trajectory. You would think a bullet fired towards the sky would expend all of its energy from the gunpowder, then begin a free-fall back to earth. A 200 grain .45 caliber round weighs approximately .4 ounces. Here's where I need the assistance of some Stanford types who remember their physics classes. Something that weighs about 12 grams traveling at terminal velocity - could it really pierce the roof of a typical house? It reminds me of the penny falling off of the Sears Tower problem. I'm not saying it didn't happen - I mean if they found the bullet inside their house it got their somehow, but I'd just like to understand the physics of that.
If the path were more shallow, the bullet would hit the apex of its arc and lose some energy but not all, then would it pick up speed on the way down?
In any case, people who fire guns in the air are dangerous morons, and belong in jail.

A good answer, I think:

About five years ago around New Years a stray bullet came through the roof of my lanai. There wasn't much the Police could do about it, but obviously around New Years people are celebrating and shooting into the air. My Husband repaired the hole in the roof. End of story!!!

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Much like any Kardashian, this one was a no-brainer. Mike Leake (Mike Leake!) threw his first career complete game, yielding only a single run in the process. Leake also pitched in with a solo husker du and another liner off of Matt Cain, and that's pretty dang fantastic. #LetHimStartInLF
Very, very, very honorable mention is due to Jay Bruce, who obviously reads RR and was motivated to post a 4 for 4 night with 3 RBI...on the road! Joey Votto was 3 for 5 as well, but that's just par for the course for Superman.
Key Plays
- 'tHom had barely settled in to his self loathing aggrandation when, lo and behold, Zack Cozart busted up the Giants' 36 inning scoreless streak with a solo shot on the first pitch of the game. That'll do, pig. Reds lead, 1-0.
- Solo shots are rally-killers, right? Wrong. Drew Stubbs followed with a walk, and Joey Votto doubled to deep left. Brandon Phillips, back in the lineup after being a bit brain-woozy yesterday, was smart enough to know that Jay Bruce had a double in his Louisville Slugger, and politely deferred to Hova for the damage. Bruce delivered, and Stubbs and Votto scored. Reds lead, 3-0.
- Midway through the 6th, Mike Leake Mike Leaked! That's awesome. Reds lead, 4-0.
- This wine is tasty. Oregon Pinot Gris. Do you know the difference between Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris? Neither do I. I'm pretty sure it's just Italian for "One is cold in the fridge and one is warm with dust on it in the corner." I digress.
- Brucey Bruce Bruced another Bruce in the 8th, scoring BP. Leake gave up an inconsequential doinker to Kung-Fu Panda in the 9th, but proceeded to wrap it up for a solid CG. Reds win, 5-1!
via www.fangraphs.com
Other Notes
- Don't look now, but Leake's 2012 ERA is down to 4.12. We all tend to have Leake pegged as a "fast starter" based on his undefeated start to his non-minor league rookie season, but maybe (with 2011 as a reference point) he's just a bit of a slow starter and fast closer. 2012 is shaping up quite well for Leake, which bodes quite well for our Reds. Extension?
- Joey Votto was slumping? Hahahahhahahhahahahahhaa.
- Song O' The Night....enjoy!
- Reds vs. Giants again tomorrow. Yay late games!

Residents split at meeting over Newell Road bridge
Original post made on Jan 9, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, January 9, 2013, 12:13 AM
on Jan 9, 2013 at 6:42 am
Jaime Rodriguez, chief transportation official at the city of Palo Alto, said these options were possible but the project would lose significant state funds raised for the bridge's replacement. "
If the bridge were eliminated or changed to a bike/pedestrian bridge then the state/federal money wouldn't be needed in the first place.
Where is the CEQA study on traffic for this project?
Jaime - your responsibility is first to the residents of Palo Alto, and not increasing traffic. It's not to be gathering federal/state funds/grants for the sake of gathering money.
on Jan 9, 2013 at 7:34 am
> increasing traffic
Is there an accurate count of daily vehicle use of this bridge?
Would a new bridge that solved the problem of flooding necessarily increase the current number of vehicles using the new bridge?
on Jan 9, 2013 at 8:16 am
This article is misleading, making it sound like there are equal numbers on all sides of this issue.
Buried deep in the article is one key statement:
"5,400 homes in the creek's floodplain currently pay about $6 million per year in federally mandated flood insurance. He said the comprehensive plan to reduce flood risk in the area might allow residents to avoid paying flood insurance."
The key issue that impacts many residents is flood risk and the need for flood insurance.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- It was a breakfast of champions this weekend in Bloomington.
Thousands of pancakes were cooked up as part of the annual Bloomington Kiwanis Pancake Days.
For a small price you could get unlimited pancakes and sausage all for a good cause.
The money is used to send underprivileged kids to camp.
And even after 60 years, the community support is still going strong.
"It's really a tradition here in Bloomington-Normal and the community has always rallied around it and helped support it. They know that we're taking the money to help young kids," said Marty Hickman, Chairman of the Pancake days.
It takes the help of more than 100 volunteers to serve the thousands of people that show up every year.

Sydney Hyde Park 20 March 2004: Let us be clear on the facts of what happened one year ago today. The United States, aided by Britain and Australia, attacked a sovereign country, unprovoked, and in breach of the most basic principles of international law. By the most conservative estimates, up to 55,000 people were killed, including at least, 10,000 civilians: men, woman and children, a figure confirmed this week by Amnesty International.
More than 1,000 children are killed or injured in Iraq every month by exploding cluster bombs, left by the Americans and the British. According to the Uranium Medical Research Centre, the main cities of Iraq are poisoned with radiation from uranium-tipped shells and missiles, fired by the Americans and the British.
Indeed, so contaminated are sections of Baghdad and Basra that coalition troops are not allowed to go anywhere near where their own shells have fallen – streets where children play, oblivious to the danger. In one report, Iraq is described as a "silent Hiroshima". What this means is that the people of Iraq, and the occupying soldiers, perhaps including Australians, are left to get sick, many of them fatally. Listen to the American soldiers and their families who are now speaking out. Untold thousands of them have gone home sick, or deeply disturbed. Many have committed suicide.
This is the scale of the crime committed 'in our name'. By every meaning of the word terrorism, the invasion of Iraq was a massive act of terrorism. If we are to get to the truth and understand momentous events in the world, we have to look critically at our countries and our own governments. We have to think in terms of our terrorism. Not just the terrorism the media wants us to know about, which relentlessly blames the Islamic world. This officially approved threat is racist; it ignores the fact that most of the victims of terrorism are people in Muslim countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine.
Yes, Al-Qaeda is a threat and a serious one, now thanks largely to Bush and Blair and Howard. If there is a terrorist attack in this country and Australians are killed, John Howard will share the responsibillity – just as Jose Aznar, the former prime minister of Spain, brought bloodshed to his people, 90 per cent of whom wanted nothing to do with Bush's imperial adventure.
That's why Howard and his spin doctors this week silenced the Federal Police Commissioner, Mick Keelty, who merely stated the obvious – that by joining the attack on Iraq, the Australian government has all but invited retaliation against this country. Last year, in Washington, I interviewed Ray McGovern, one of the CIA's most senior analysts, a man so close to the American establishment that he was a personal friend of George Bush Senior. He told me, 'The invasion of Iraq was 95 per cent charade. And they all knew it: Bush, Blair and Howard.'
Take just one speech by John Howard on February 4th last year. In less than an hour, he referred 30 times to the 'threat' posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. He was quite specific. He declared, and I quote, 'Iraq has an intact arsenal of chemical and biological weapons'. Everything he said was false.
What a disreputable bunch they are, these machine politicians in Canberra who take their orders from a foreign power against the interests of us: orders that endanger us. By any measure of the truth, we ought not to believe a word that Howard and Downer says; and yet we have to put up with front pages and lead items on the TV news that amplify their deceit.
Five years ago, as the people of East Timor struggled to gain their independence, Alexander Downer told the Australian people that the government knew nothing about the Indonesian terrorism that was about to engulf East Timor. But he knew. We now know he saw the intelligence; and the Australian SAS had trained Kopassus, Suharto's storm troopers who committed the worst crimes in East Timor.
So it is not surprising that our heroic SAS should have gone into Iraq guns blazing, before March 20th last year. The retired diplomat and whistleblower, Tony Kevin, has produced evidence that the SAS may have killed hundreds of people. He describes the SAS attack as a 'turkey shoot'; he is still awaiting a reply from Downer.
Australians have a right to know these facts. Recently, on the ABC's Lateline program, I suggested that it was important that Bush's so-called "coalition" in Iraq was driven out. I pointed out they were illegal invaders, who were selling off Iraq to their cronies: effectively stealing a country. I asked: What if the Japanese had occupied Australia, or the Germans had taken over Britain? The next day, Alexander Downer, the Australian Foreign Minister, and John Anderson, the Deputy Prime Minister, issued statements calling on me to apologise for having defamed the honour of Australia and its noble work in Iraq.
This tells us a great deal. These politicians are frightened. One dissenting voice is heard on the ABC, and they panic. Almost all the principal commentators the Australian people have to read are warmongers was interrupted, and this could not be tolerated. In an international index of press freedom, Australia is fiftieth. How shaming for an allegedly free country. Token appearances by dissenters on the ABC and token critical programs, like the ABC's soft Media Watch, do not make up for this disgrace.
That's why Howard and Downer appear so confident the will get away with their deceit. They think they can say what they like, and tell any lie, and silence any critic: be it the Federal Police Commissioner or myself, and no one will object. They know that the ABC is now so intimidated it will channel and amplify their nonsense and call it news.
What about the real news? What about the fact that the United States is secretly negotiating with Pakistan to send troops into that country, hoping to find Osama bin Laden before the Presidential election in November? An American invasion of Pakistan, with the connivance of the military regime in that country, will be the biggest recruiting drive for Al-Qaida since the invasion of Iraq.
What about the real news from Afghanistan, where the situation of women is, in many parts of the country, worse than under the Taliban, where an American-installed regime of warlords rules with terror, where many more people have died under American bombs than were killed on September 11? We have a right to know the real news from these countries, just as we have a right to know about the secret deals struck in our name; and we have a right to debate the criminality of the invasion of one year ago.
The judges who tried the German leadership at Nuremberg in 1946 laid the basis for more than half a century of international law. They described the unprovoked, illegal invasion of a sovereign country as 'the supreme international war crime'.
One year ago, the British military command almost refused to send British troops to Iraq – fearing prosecution in the new International Criminal Court. The same fear is in Australia. Why did the Defence Department in Canberra almost certainly plant a story in the Sunday papers recently, in which RAAF pilots spoke openly about how they had refused to bomb certain targets in Iraq for fear of hitting civilians? I shalll make an educated guess as to why. Because Australia and Britain – unlike the United States – are signatories to the rules of the International Criminal Court; and in Canberra they, too, fear being prosecuted as war criminals. That is not an outlandish prospect. International justice, once unleashed, can have a power of its own.
We simply cannot afford to acquiesce in the warmongering corruption of the deputy sheriffs in Canberra. We cannot afford to place our lives in the hands of men like Alexander Downer, who was described by a Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, Denis Halliday, as one of the most wilfully stupid men in high office he had met.
Brian Deegan, the father of one of the Bali bombing victims, Josh Deegan, is so disgusted with Downer that he is considering standing against him at the next federal election. We should give Brian Deegan every support. We should also give Terry Hicks, the heroic father of David Hicks, every support in his lone campaign for justice for his son, David, still held without charge in the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.
What Howard and Downer fear is isolation. The so-called coalition of the willing is falling apart. Spain is recalling its troops from Iraq. Even little Honduras is recalling its troops from Iraq. Holland is about to pull out its token contingent. The message is clear: Australia must get out of Iraq while it can.
The only hope for a peaceful world is the neutralisation of the rampant superpower — by the international community. We must tell Washington we shall not tolerate its aggression any more. Can we achieve that? Yes, in time we can. A world resistance is already under way. Who is this resistance? The answer is: People like you. Millions of people like you: in Spain, Brazil, Italy, Uruguay, South Africa, Britain, France.
Yes, there are perhaps greater challenges in Australia, and it may take longer here. But a start has been made; and we have no choice. Remember the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "First, they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."

I drove across town today and noticed that the mirror is a little loose somewhere as it has a slight vibration. I hung my GoPro from it and it stopped shaking completely.

This is for TNT Customs one piece, inner and outer flat front fenders. I also checked on powder coat and was told $250. Talked to some Jeep friends, and since I do wheel this they asked about rattle can. Their reasoning we know it will get scratched scuffed/ and easier to clean up scratches and since parts are off Jeep easy to paint at home. (Initially)
I spent a total of about $50 on paint and supplies, acetone, sand paper, rags, primer etc.
Here is the result. Rustoleum "Hammered" in Black. If you look close you will see it used a lot on my LIL RED Jeep. accent line around bottom of tub and rails/ bumpers.

|Yesterday 12:10 PM
In the process of rebuilding my front end and installing a new lift. After all the nice, new bits in my wheels and steering I decided to pain my tired-looking, rusty stuff.
I am trying something different that may or may not look good. But it is paint, so I can always re-do it later if I am unhappy with the results.
I wanted to set off some of the interesting looking wheel components. I decided to repaint my dust shields gloss black, my knuckles silver, my axle ends gloss black, and the U joint body (the only visible part) silver. I will also have red Alloy USA outer shaft seals. (Whether they provide any benefit I wanted them for the looks. I am not into bling, but decided that after all this work a dress up to my axles and suspension was in order. This flash of red on a part that will hopefully work better than the plastic discs do will be a nice sight under there. And this nicer appearance to my suspension might prompt me to take more time with cleaning it after lots of mud.)
Anyway, here is one of the horror story knuckles. It was coated in a thick, scaly rust that took me two hours with four wire wheels to clean up. I then wiped it down thoroughly with mineral spirits and sprayed on two coats of the Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer black spray paint. Yeah, after two hours of powering off rust it was still a little brown. I got down to shiny metal in many spots, but not all the rust came off. So instead of the self-etching primer I had planned to use I ended up with the Rust Reformer. Hope it works okay...
After that dried over night I just went out and sprayed on two heavy coats of Rust-Oleum High Heat Ultra in silver. The axle ears and the dust shield look really pretty decent against the silver part. Pretty showy for my tastes, but I might keep it this way for a while.
I did not use caliper paint, but because they are attached to the calipers I decided to use the High Heat Ultra. I hope it is durable. The label says that it is good for automotive use, but it probably will chip easily when I bomb my way down some of our crushed limestone cotton field roads. I take more abuse from that then any sort of trail damage. Most of our real off roading is centered on muddy trails in shallow water or small, broken rick fields. The cotton field roads we run at like 40 or 50 mph, so this paint will probably not survive. But I can hope... ;-)
When all this is finished I will show pics of the result. Here is the knuckle hanging out to dry in the sun off the front bumper of my JK...

Tiger Woods' swing coach, Sean Foley, says that Woods still is not hitting golf balls, and that he doesn't know when Woods will begin playing again.
Steve Elling on CBSSports.com reported late Tuesday that Woods' new swing coach, Sean Foley, sent him an email stating that he and his star pupil have not been working together.
"We have not hit any balls," Foley wrote. "And I have no idea what his plans are as far as when he plays again. It's up to the doctors."
Woods' return from knee and Achilles injuries seems to be dragging on forever, and that might continue, particularly given the scarcity of events for him to play in as the summer ends. It now looks unlikely that he'll play in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Akron next week, and if he isn't yet hitting, I would wonder about his return to play in the NB3 Challenge at the end of August, as well.

I suppose the suggestion here is that, if the world were indeed coming to an end (referencing 12/21/2012), this would be one thing on every white woman's to-do list - screw a black man. But not only that, they would darken their skin, and wear afro wigs, seemingly to to embody and experience the moment as black women... or something like that.
I don't really know what to do with this, so I'll just report the story and let you guys discuss and break it down. Or it could just be that I'm numb.
The news comes courtesy of our friends at the Black Women Of Brazil blog, whom we've linked to several times in the past:
Globo TV tries to spread the in-vogue belief in the end of the world on the cabalistic day of 12/21/2012, a touch of anticipated spectacle on the couch. In its parody of the end of the world on TV, the series "Como aproveitar o fim do mundo" ("How to take advantage of the end of the world") presents an episode in which a white actress, Aline Moraes, is made up as a black woman in order to accomplish one of her "last desires": to fuck a black man. I used the word "fuck" because I find it more consistent with the final moment in time, straight up with no sweetener or false morality! After all, she only has a short time to accomplish the act. In the minds of the authors, by the fictional scene they created, this is one of those things that they believe some white women want at the last minute. The critical conclusion that they ultimately reached is consistent with the policy and standard imagery that Globo TV and its clan of writers commonly produce and exhibit through racist stereotypes offered to the public as entertainment.
The photo diptych above is of the actress made up as a black woman, and as herself.
I believe we've seen episodes in the media in which white people have "gone undecover" or pretended to be black people, usually to expose racism within some institution. But nothing quite like this (which is scripted, by the way).
I guess this was supposed to be funny?
So many layers; so many questions, like why does she have to "become" a black woman to fulfill her bucket list fantasy of screwing a black man? Interracial relationships aren't uncommon in Brazil. It's not like we're talking about an era in which interracial coupling was practically a crime punishable by death.
Like I said, is the point here to suggest that by "becoming" a black woman, the experience would be more "genuine," or that maybe black men would treat her differently in bed because they see a black woman (even though she's not), than they would if they knew they were having sex with a white woman?
Or is this just to stir up controversy and attract eyeballs?
From what I understand about representations of blacks in Brazil in the media, depictions are limited and narrowly-defined (not-so unlike here in the USA, although it's worse), which is problematic when you consider how significant the African-descendant population is in that country (compared to the USA).
I'd like to believe that something like this wouldn't fly here in the USA, but who knows - especially when you're essentially powerless, or at least it seems that way.
I should note that we haven't seen the episode here in the USA, so I'm going based on what the Black Women Of Brazil have to say about it. In theory, the idea could fly as a work of satire, let's say, maybe offering some critique or commentary on stereotypes, fetishism, the exotification of groups, and more. But from all I've read about the episode, and Globo TV, it doesn't sound like it's satire, unfortunately.
But you should read the full report on this Globo TV fiasco, by visiting the Black Women In Brazil blog HERE. They ask and try to answer some of the questions that come up, as well as give a little history on similar kinds of occurences on Brazilian TV, suggesting this isn't all that uncommon - although maybe this has been the most extreme so far.

A couple of comments, one from the article, and one from the comments section
Anybody can sleep with a black man these days in privacy or public, this isn't the 17th century.
It's not like we're talking about an era in which interracial coupling was practically a crime punishable by death.
Interracial marriage was only decriminalised in 1967 in the USA.

I'll bet the Black folks who went to see (and enjoyed) Django Unchained would love to see this episode...and they would defend it as harmless entertainment.

What? Covering a face with black-face will never fool a Black person because once she turn around and show her butt - that would surely give her away.

Yep, Brazil is really a racial paradise...of idiots.
browniegirl | December 25, 2012 2:15 AM
How pathetic and racist, this idiot could have remained who she is and still have sex with a black man...obvious that this is some fantasy...MANDINGO bullshit! If I were a black man, I would be insulted. Then whites wonder why they are viewed as racist...I feel bad for decent, loving whites that have to endure such a label do to their racist and ignorant counterparts.
ALM | December 24, 2012 7:41 PM
What is interesting is that the people who do Blackface never actually look like Africans or African Americans. They always look like Caucasian or fair skinned people of color putting on makeup to make fun of Black people. No Black person would actually think that the woman above was actually Black, so who is this makeup supposed to fool, Caucasian people? What's the verdict here? It seems as if blackface will not die, so are we just to ignore it at this point so that it won't get any additional press?
Hoji | December 24, 2012 8:26 AM
The response as to why she had to "become" black could be because she was trying to avoid social criticism for "sleeping" with a black man as a white woman. It seems like white Brazilian society can be quite judgmental over a white woman sleeping with a black man, even though that might be the fantasy of many of them (it may be the forbidden fruit effect, or the believe that black men tend to be owners of a primordial physical energy that gathers high scores in sexual performance).

The world would be a different place if millions of White people figure out why they are obsessed with and insecure about Black people. We already know why, but they need to get the answers themselves.
The Mighty Quinn | December 24, 2012 12:36 AM
All this time, I thought Brazil was more open and accepting of Black people, and if this clip is indicative of that, it could not be further from the truth. This is truly sad...
Miles Ellison | December 23, 2012 11:57 PM
If she just wants to have sex with a black man, why is the blackface necessary? If it's supposed to be satire, what is being satirized? This just looks like an excuse to cork up and denigrate black women.
Ayanna Costa | December 23, 2012 11:25 PM
Dumbest thing I've heard. White women don't need to become black women to have sex with black men, if anything maybe they won't have sex with her because she's a black women. Just saying, Plus as you stated we don't live in an era where interracial dating or sex is uncommon or that taboo anymore. Not to say that some people still don't have an issue with it, but people now days just do what they want. Plus as a black women it's offensive to see someone take on modern black face. Just stupid! Be Yourself!

It's a way of saying that black men should only be "dating" black women.

Registration Mystery – how to use username instead of First/Last?
I test-registered 10 fake users. Somehow I managed to create one user with no First and Last name. All I see is the username.
My question is, how do I duplicate this?? This is actually good, since I'm migrating over a message board community that is more comfortable with using their username "handles" rather than real-life identities.
Second question: is it possible for users to specify whether they want to use their username or First/Last?

APPLE VALLEY, MINN.

U.S. demand for extruded plastics is expected to grow by 3 percent in 2014, with PVC remaining the largest segment.
Plastic pipe will post the strongest gains through 2018, continuing to take market share from competing materials in a range of markets.

PEORIA HEIGHTS, Ill -- Fire crews in Peoria Heights are preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best.
Fire Chief Greg Walters says about 200 people are affected by river flooding along Galena Road.
He says if a fire were to occur in that area, first responders would have very limited access. His department has done some pre-planning over the past few days, going over different worst-case scenarios.
The Chief, however, is concerned that more problems could arise when people return to their homes and businesses and turn everything back on.
"If it hasn't been checked by a professional, an electrician, a plumber, or whatever it could ignite simply because of the sparks and stuff if they haven't had that done correctly and then for the plumbing that would be more for the gas," said Chief Walters.
Walters says the fire department will work with emergency crews, residents and business owners when the waters recede.

Cameron: Gay marriage law 'we can be proud of'
After a long parliamentary process gay marriage became law tonight - something I believe we can be proud of as a country.
Gay marriage has officially become law in England and Wales.The Bill, which despite opposition was heavily backed by both MPs and peers, has finished its passage through Parliament.
After a long parliamentary process gay marriage became law tonight - something I believe we can be proud of as a country.
Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has thanked "all who helped" pass gay marriage into law:
The Same-Sex Marriage Bill has now had royal assent. Thanks too all who helped. The first same-sex marriages will take place in Summer 2014
The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill has passed into law in England and Wales after being granted royal assent.
The Act will:
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said, "Together, we've made history" after same-sex marriage passed into law:
Together, we've made history with #equalmarriage! When will you pop the question?
On a personal note, congratulations to my friend & @lgbtld Vice-Chair @edfordham who is getting married! #equalmarriage
MPs cheered today as they were told gay marriage had passed into law.
Speaker John Bercow announced in the Commons that the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill had been granted royal assent by the Queen:
The publisher of PinkNews said they were "delighted" that same-sex marriage in England and Wales has been signed into law.
Benjamin Cohen, who also founded the Out4Marriage campaign, said, "Giving gay couples the right to marry will make our nation a more tolerant, open and welcoming place to live in and significantly increase the life prospects of so many people".
The Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales said that the passing of same-sex marriage into law "marks a watershed in English law and heralds a profound social change."
Archbishop of Westminster the Most Rev Vincent Nichols and the Archbishop of Southwark Peter Smith said in a statement: "The new Act breaks the existing legal links between the institution of marriage and sexual complementarity.
"With this new legislation, marriage has now become an institution in which openness to children, and with it the responsibility on fathers and mothers to remain together to care for children born into their family unit, are no longer central.
"That is why we were opposed to this legislation on principle."
Stephen Fry has thanked the Queen for giving royal assent to the Bill that passes same-sex marriage into law:
Thanks, Your Majesty, for the Royal Assent. You soon won't be the only married queen in Britain. Hurrah, hurray hurroo! #EqualMarriage
Equalities minister Maria Miller said she was looking forward to the first same-sex wedding by next summer after the Bill received royal assent.
Mrs Miller said in a statement: "Marriage is the bedrock of our society and now irrespective of sexuality everyone in British society can make that commitment.
"Making marriage available to all couples demonstrates our society's respect for all individuals regardless of their sexuality.
"This is a historic moment that will resonate in many people's lives. I am proud that we have made it happen, and I look forward to the first same-sex wedding by next summer."
Gay rights campaign group Stonewall heralded the Marriage (Sam Sex Couples) Bill as "an historic moment for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, their families and their friends".
After the Bill received royal assent, Stonewall released an image on Twitter with the words "Thank you Ma'am".
The group added, "This Bill will mean that, for the first time, children growing up to be gay in England and Wales will have full equality in law. We can now proudly claim to be a beacon to the world for gay equality."
