There are just so many good IPAs these days and this is another one.
Starts with a great-looking large puffy white head with lots of lacing in a medium amber color.
Maltiness in the nose, not real complex.
Excellent bitterness but again, not an unusual tasting IPA.
Probably the most interesting thing about it is its creamy mouthfeel; really nice.
Definitely, one to put up there in the short list especially if you're
in the Southwest. Or if you're going hiking/skiing/backpacking.

12oz can. Pours a clear dark gold with a medium creamy off white head that quickly goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet bready malts and some piney resiny hops.
The flavor is tarry, grassy, resiny, kind of funky hops with a little sweet bready malts in the background. There's a good deal of bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste - kind of metallic though. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some low but prickly carbonation.
Overall, it's got good bitterness, but is not really balanced at all. It doesn't have the hop flavors I usually like (more fruity). Hop flavors were a bit funky - reminding me of Gubna (Summit?), but didn't like it as well in this one due to lack of balance.

12 ounce can, w/o freshness info that I can find.
Pours medium amber, hazed, oatmeal head, stays nicely and on the loser side. Leaves ample low slippery sheeting and light strands of lace.
Pine and grapefruit notes in the hoppy nose.
More grapefruit, resins and pine on the tongue, moderate in their assault on the taste buds. Sweet malt makes an appearance but its muted compared to the hops.
Nothing special, just another better then average and easy drinking IPA. Worth a try and def would work in a cooler at the beach, camping or wherever a few cold and hoppy ones make sense

Tonight I am comparing several different IPA's that are all poured from a can. In addition to this one, I am tasting Ska Brewing's Modus Hoperendi IPA, Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA and Marble Brewery IPA.
This beer is unique in that it produced a bodacious head when poured into a large tuplip glass, an inch high, that gradually settled down to about 1/8". Color is orange / dark amber and the aroma is both malt and hops - slightly sweet with more of a stone fruit flavor than citrus or pine. Hops are a blend of Cascade, Simcoe, Bravo, Amarillo & Summit; and the malt is a blend of 3, but the malt flavor is not as evident as the fruity hops that dominate this fine brew.
It would be interesting to taste this head-to-head with Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, which has similar hop characteristics.

Seems to have a gleaming quality to its color, depending on the light, angle, etc. . . this beer rocks some yellow, gold, red, amber, ruby and brown. Super big piney aroma, this is how dry hopping is done.
Taste, remains piney, very bitter, totally enjoyable. This is a great example of awesome canned ipa. Bitter, hoppy, sure a little metallic, but its all the 'metallic' flavors in a can. Mouthfeel, its straightforward, hoppy, piney, dry.
Good stuff.
EDIT: I've had so many compromised cans of this since my original 4.33/5 review. I can't possibly keep it that high anymore. Stamp the date on your cans, I'm tired of drinking old hops.

Poured a nice, rich amber with two fingers of nice off-white head that slowly receded leaving abundant lacing. Very nice. Scents of pine resin and citrus, especially orange-like, juniper berries, fruity esters, and caramel with a bit of alcohol. A good, balanced IPA aroma, a bit lacking in depth, but not bad, nicely done. Flavor begins resinous and moderately bitter, with strong pine resin notes, some nice undertones of sweet pale malt and faint citrus peel. This moves into a more fruity middle with moderate bitterness, notes of orange flesh, orange peel and light alcohol notes, with a bit of pine resin and fruity esters. Finish is medium.-dry with notes of pine resin, alcohol, and a bit of citrus and grapefruit peel and pith with some fruity esters. Aftertaste is pine resin and grapefruit peel. A good IPA flavor profile, more piney than anything, quite nice. Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied, resinous and slightly drying with moderate-low carbonation. Quite nice and easy to drink, very nice and true to style. Overall this is a nice IPA. The aroma and flavor are nice and balanced and the mouthfeel is very appealing a good overall IPA and quite good.

Medium head falls pretty quick leaving a nice lacing with a small biscuity head in the middle of the glass, above a clear golden bronze colored IPA
Heavy hops smell accented with pine and citrus, with a light sweetness coming through.
Citrus and pine hops heavy taste, this is why I drink IPAs, heavy rich hops taste, with just a slight bit of a sweet malt following the initial hoppiness.
A medium bodied beer with a dry slightly bitter hop aftertaste.
A damn good IPA, I think I'll have a couple more of these, later.

Thanks to bentwookie for this one! Like the can art a lot.
A: Pours an orange/copper color with a one finger white, foamy head on top. Decent retention with thin, but rings of lace around the glass.
S: Nice grapefruit up front, a little bit of grass and some spicy hops. A little bit of caramel on the back end.
T: Again, grapefruit up front, with a little more citrus than the aroma. Not much in the way of pine or grassy, and not as spicy either. Overall, it is more of a rind flavor than fruit.
M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Easy drinking with a slightly dry finish.
O: Pretty good IPA. Still on a can kick, can't get enough. Hope to try the other Santa Fe offerings at some point.

12oz can, Boulevard tulip, no discernible freshness date.
Super clear amber beer with a very nice example of the standard off-white head. Initially there were three fingers of this. The retention is quite good, as is the lacing. I rarely, if ever, comment on packaging but the fact that this is in a can that is very simple, elegant, and identifiable bumps up the score.
Very minty and perfumed, earthy pine and grapefruit, abrasive, but not without a hearty caramel and biscuit backbone. This must be acceptably fresh because these hops are wonderfully resiny and juicy.
Caramel malt restrained by graininess begins things but is quickly submerged beneath moderate-high bitterness and hop flavors of earthy pine, grapefruit, sugary pears, rosemary, mint, tangerine, and peppery perfume. I'm being restrained not to give this a 4.5, I'm really digging it. A little drier and this would be a monster.
Creamy in the mouth and tending towards thick. The body is big.
I'd love for this to get dried out a bit. I like the malt bill and love the hopping but it's a little sweet for an IPA to do more than one at a time.

A: Clear copper hue with a steady one-inch head; lacing is decent
S: Citrus and pine hop aromas up front with a solid, sweet bready malt base lingering underneath
T: Pine, herbs, grass, and citrus mingle up front with loads of pleasant bitterness that are followed by a slightly burnt yet sweet bready malt undertones
F: Medium body with oily, sticky texture
O: A real solid IPA: bitter up front, quickly followed by a sweet malt base--nice beer

Poured into a pint glass. Transparent amber color with a half finger of head. Good lacing.
Smell was faint, picked up some grapefruit.
No doubt that it tastes like an IPA. Bitter hops all over the taste profile. Sharp bitterness, but really nice. The malt shows itself late, but the hops still rule.
Feels soft and smooth. Moderate carbonation and medium body.
Good and straight forward IPA. Try if you find it.

Wheeling Police Officers are coming together to focus on their mental health, after responding to a traumatic incident last week.
"There's not too many jobs outside in the professional area that may entail taking of someone's life," Miller said. "Any type of assistance that we can provide, in regards to mental health issues and support, is only beneficial to those officers."
Chief Schwertfeger said talking about the issues brings his officers closer together.
It also gives them some insight into how the stress they've experienced may effect their personal lives, Miller added.
Other responding agencies were invited to attend the session as well.

This is the most fantastic working product I have EVER gotten. When I first moved in here, gardening was a horror an slugs so bad they crawled up on the deck to get to potted plants. After just one day, I could already tell a difference and by the end of the summer not a slug in sight. I believe in organic growing but was ready to turn drastic till I saw this in the Gurneys catalog and tried it, fell in serious like with it and continue to order it faithfully as needed for the last 4 years. [I haven't told my neighbors what I use till this year- I enjoyed all the compliments-and jealousy of my fellow gardeners for a bit] Thank You Gurneys!

The Denver Broncos will be without fullback Spencer Larsen in the AFC Divisional matchup against the New England Patriots on Saturday. Larsen was placed on IR Tuesday and replaced by wide receiver D'Andre Goodwin.
#Broncos announce they have added WR D'Andre Goodwin to active roster. FB Spencer Larsen (knee) goes to IR.— Lindsay Jones (@PostBroncos) January 10, 2012
Larsen apparently sprained his MCL during regular-season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. He did not play in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and was replaced by Austin Sylvester.
The move allows the Broncos the bolster their wide receiver corps. Eric Decker is expected to miss the game against the Patriots. Goodwin had been one of the Broncos' final cuts at the start of the year and rejoined the practice team in October. The rookie had a solid, but unspectacular career at Washington. During his senior season in 2010, he caught 44 passes for 530 yards and four touchdowns.

Charity shop offers wedded bliss on a budget
5:30am Friday 17th January 2014 in News
BUDGET conscious brides and grooms are heading for a new charity wedding shop at the Brunel Centre.
The shop, next to the large Sue Ryder store, has been set up to coincide with the Centre's wedding fair and will be open today, tomorrow and on Monday.
Stock includes wedding dresses, men's formal suits, accessories and hats. There are outfits for bridesmaids, pageboys and brides' and bridegrooms' mums.
The charity provides a range of vital services for people with life-changing illnesses, both in this country and abroad.
The shop was prepared by volunteer Tara Jayne, 36, from Old Town, who is a freelance sales, marketing and merchandising specalist.
She said: "Sharon Miles, who runs the Sue Ryder Shop, is a very good friend of mine. I just started helping out here when I had free time.
"We were talking last year about raising extra funds and I said, 'You have a lot of bridal stuff, why don't you set up a bridal shop? The Brunel are running a wedding fair next year so I'll set one up and staff it over the three days.'"
Prices of items vary, but they include wedding dresses for around £100, men's suits at about £80 and hats for as little as £10.
Some items were donated by the public and others by businesses.
"Every penny goes to the charity," Tara added. "There's nothing taken and no wages being paid out of this."
The Sue Ryder website is sueryder.org

The Paradox of Martin Creed: The Artist on His Biggest Gallery Exhibition Ever
Lanky Martin Creed was standing on the first floor of Hauser & Wirth gallery on the Upper East Side, dressed in lightly paint-splattered, black pants that rose up just above the ankles and an ever-so-slightly mismatched navy shirt, his frizzy gray hair pulled into a ponytail and his face covered by glasses so large they looked like protective eyewear. He was laughing enormously about—something. With apologies to our brothers and sisters across the pond, his giggles were punctuated with bursts of indecipherable Scottish twang, made all the more difficult to discern by the presence of his parents, making use of their own heavy slurs. This was somehow appropriate, though, because "what is he trying to say" is a frequent starting point for the uninitiated in conversations about Mr. Creed.

Rushville Republican
---- — The music parents of South Decatur High School will be hosting the second annual Fall Fun Run 5k run/walk race Oct. 19. Entry fee for the event is $25 and according to race director Robyn Davis, the 2012 event was a great success!
"We had more than 100 people participate as volunteers or racers and we had a great time."
The 2013 race is promising to be a great event as well. This year the race will be held the same day as the Decatur County Memorial Hospital Westport Health Fair and Business Expo, which draws a large crowd every year.
One of the things that both our volunteers and our racers really enjoy are the t-shirt, door prizes and goody bags. We would love to include your business on our shirts as a sponsor and/ or our door prize sponsor poster, or have an item from your business in our goody bags which go home with each person in attendance.
A door prize can be anything your business would like to donate. Last year we had everything from teddy bears to gift certificates. Goody bag items included food coupons, pens and business cards. The shirt sponsors are prominently displayed on the back of the race shirt. Davis, said that as a race sponsor through her business, she does not overcrowd the logo's so business logo's will be large enough to be seen. Shirt sponsorship is $100 and payable to SDHS Music Parents.
For additional information regarding the event; Davis can be contacted at (812) 591.8232 or online at firstname.lastname@example.com

The accident happened on North Capitol Avenue and West Ohio Street in downtown Indianapolis just before 7:00 p.m. Police say the Cadillac STS Niezgodski and his daughter were in was hit by a Kia Sorento. Indianapolis Fire Department pictures from the scene show extensive damage to Niezgodski's vehicle. Fire officials say it took about 15 minutes to get Rachael Niezgodski out of the vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle was treated at the scene.
In his statement, Rep. Niezgodski praised the first responders. "I always have believed that those men and women who devote themselves to public safety never get enough credit for the work they do to protect the rest of us, and the skill and expertise they bring to the table came to the forefront last night. For that, I will be eternally grateful."
He also thanks those who have offered support. "I want to say how deeply moved our family has been by the outpouring of support we have received since last night's accident. The numbers of prayers and messages have been greatly appreciated by myself, my daughter and the rest of our family."

Update to this study as of June 2012 for 9th grade can be found on this blog post
Wamogo High School Reading Survey Results March 2011
Grades 7-10
This was the most striking portion of the survey with well over 65% of students in each grade level claiming success in SSR (silent sustained reading). The most consistent rating across all grade levels was the percentage of students who "pretend to read" which was 6% or lower in Grades 7-10. This means that less than 10% of students do not participate in the SSR activity when offered in the classroom.
Student Rating
School wide
410 students
|I can get right "into the book" or read the materials successfully
|I have difficulty getting started, but I can read successfully after that
|I am distracted by others and cannot read in a classroom successfully
|I pretend to read
The percentages reflected in the chart above accurately reflect the anecdotal evidence (see below) provided by teachers at each grade level. There is a steady increase in the number of students who are "distracted by others" from 4% in Grade 7 to 29% in Grade 10. The Wamogo English Department has been steadily increasing the amount of SSR for grades 9 and 10 during the 2010-2011 school year. These percentages indicate that a little over 2/3rds of the students in these classes benefit from SSR. This data does not reflect the length of time spent in SSR in the classroom; cross-referencing the data for time-spent reading in class provides an more accurate picture. Grade 7's data with the least amount of time spent with in class reading records 4% of student claiming they are distracted and cannot read successfully. Comparing this percentage to Grade 8's data with the most amount of in class reading time and only 3% of students claiming they are distracted and cannot read successfully indicates that the length of time is not a factor in student success in SSR activities. Consideration as to how to improve the classroom reading environment to minimize the "distractions" for students in Grades 9 and 10 should be the next step in making SSR an effective tool to improve reading.
Anecdotal Evidence- Grade 10
Reaction to the Tenth Grade Reading Survey
The results from the tenth grade reading survey track fairly well with what I have observed in class, especially in terms of reading fiction. During the past year, I have seen students struggle with reading assignments outside of class, if they were not engaged in the text. When given choices of reading material, however, the students beg me to give them reading time in class. We are currently working on an independent World Literature unit in all tenth grade classes. There were many books for the students to choose from; everyone was content with their choice by the third day of the unit. They were given large page amounts to read in the first two weeks – there were no quizzes to check on whether or not they were reading, but honestly, I didn't need them – with the exception of two or three students, it was very clear how engaged they were with their books.
Another interesting aspect of the survey was the high interest in non-fiction, or informational reading in tenth grade. There are many students, boys in particular, who gravitate towards this type of material. This was also proven in their choice of summer reading last year – a high percentage of students chose the non-fiction option books. I feel strongly that we should continue to offer this type of reading in all classes, not just English.
Anecdotal Evidence-Grade 9
Comments on Reading Survey Results – 9th Grade
Overall, the results tally with my in-class experiences. Most students will get into and enjoy the right book. Some have trouble settling down or finding the right book. A few just will not engage.
I was surprised at students' perception of required reading time in English, 63% responding that they have over 30 minutes assigned (p.6). Even though the honors students may have more assigned pages, the majority of students in 9th grade should not have to spend more than 20 -30 minutes on any given reading assignment per night. I wonder if they are they including catch-up or procrastinated reading. Or, are they taking frequent breaks, allowing several distractions during their reading? While I have noted that several students who consider themselves solid readers are quite slow, taking upwards of 2 minutes per page, most read at a respectable rate when focused.
The difficulties with students reading in the classroom environment are not surprising. Social pressures and distractions abound. If there is one student looking to distract others in order to avoid reading, the ripple effect is impressive. They are easily distracted by others, and cheek by jowl seating does not help. The ability to tune out others is not well-developed at this age. This is why the majority of responders noted they were most successful reading in their own rooms (but remember my question about assigned reading – are they equating comfort with success?). On the bright side, almost half of the 9th graders noted that they could get right into their reading in the classroom, and another quarter that once started, they can settle down to it. While we did not ask directly, I suspect that the 18% of 9th graders who labeled themselves as reluctant or non-readers make up the majority of the quarter who has trouble reading in class. It would be interesting to know if, as reluctant readers, they select material for length rather than interest, thereby confirming their experience of reading as boring chore rather than enjoyable and stimulating.
Reading strategies for fiction seem on target for pleasure reading. Predicting, connecting, and summarizing are what stronger readers do at this stage. However, sticky notes and underlining are great techniques for readers starting to deconstruct and analyze text. I want to develop this sort of independent learning and thinking more, move students away from the teacher's constant guidance and reassurance.
The non-fiction reading strategies are off, in my mind. Reading informative texts requires a much more active approach. I worry that students approach both fiction and non-fiction with the same set of tools. In class, we must help students recognize that they have a variety of tools for a variety of purposes.
Anecdotal Evidence- Grade 8

The food was very good in the Lido deck areas and excellent in the Italian restaurant and the Steakhouse. Well worth the surcharge.
We also enjoyed the entertainment; a superb 5-piece band with a female vocalist who were excellent and a very funny comedian.
The design of this new ship is less impressive to us. Moving about the ship feels very congested. Rather than a wide promenade deck with marble floors, the Breeze has what feels like narrow walk-ways with cheap-looking yellow/brown ceramic tile. The buffet dining area on the Lido deck is very cramped and long lines were the norm. The restaurants and bars are not open long enough and service in this area was sometimes very poor.
We had planned to do a longer 8-day cruise on the Breeze but this experience convinced us otherwise. We are opting for Holland American next. As for Carnival we really prefer the Freedom or the Splendor over the Breeze.

RUGBY UNION: Witney plan was a geunine one, says London Welsh chief
8:20am Saturday 5th April 2014 in Rugby By Ed Mezzetti, Sports reporter specialising in Rugby, Cricket and Athletics. Call me on 01865 425456
London Welsh chairman Bleddyn Phillips says the club's plans for a move to Witney were genuine and not a bargaining tool.
The Exiles announced yesterday that they had signed a new three-year deal to play at Oxford's Kassam Stadium.
This came less than two months after getting planning permission to develop the Witney Community Stadium.
Phillips denied suggestions the Witney option had been part of a plan to strike a better rent deal at the Kassam.
"We never used Witney as a stalking horse, that's just not the case," he said.
"There still remains a very good option at Witney.
"It was never used by us simply as a bargaining chip."
Phillips said Welsh took soundings from across Oxfordshire before deciding that staying at the Kassam Stadium was their best option.
And having signed a new deal, he hopes the news can reassure supporters and boost ticket sales.
"It's not just about talk and words, but commitment behind that," he said.
"Hopefully, people in Oxfordshire will realise that and come and support us for the Jersey game on April 12 and the play-offs.
"Regardless of whether we go up or stay in the Championship, we are still committed to Oxfordshire."

The Buffs will not play the Buffs on Saturday.
"Then that will mean we'll play 14 straight weeks," Colorado head coach Jon Embree said after Wednesday's practice. "Thirteen is enough."
CU, which closed fall camp with a scrimmage last Friday at Folsom Field, will go through a "scout scrimmage" one week before opening the season on Sept. 3 at Hawaii.
"It's really a mock game. We go through the substitutions, special teams situations, where we go for pregame warm-up," Embree said. "We'll just be in helmets."
The Buffs have not been tapering down the physicality of practices this week. Embree was pleased with the defense's tackling on Tuesday and said the offense played well for about 90 percent of Wednesday's session.
"Offense had a heck of a practice (Wednesday), then the last period we didn't finish like we should," Embree said. "But we'll get it. They don't have a choice, so we'll get it."
Different road map?
The Buffs have lost 17 consecutive road games dating back to a 31-26 victory over Texas Tech on Oct. 27, 2007, in Lubbock. Tyler Hansen was still a senior in high school that fall.
"This will be my first away game with them," Embree said when asked about the dubious streak. "So we'll just keep preparing. We're going to keep talking about it and making sure they understand what they have to do to go in there and win."
This is the first time since 1995 that CU will open a season with a true road game. The Buffs beat Wisconsin 43-7 in Madison to kick off the Rick Neuheisel era.
The Buffs have been practicing from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. this week. Next week the practices will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The game at Hawaii will kick off at 8:15 Mountain time. ... A Kansas City Chiefs scout attended Wednesday's practice. Embree coached the tight ends in Kansas City from 2006-08 under Herm Edwards.

New Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski wants to keep residents up to date.
To that end, Krupski has launched a newsletter detailing recent events and happenings.
The first edition of "News From the 1st District" discusses issues Krupski has spotlighted since taking office, including co-sponsoring a bill that completes the preservation of Riverhead's North Fork Preserve, home rule deer management -- Krupski recently met with the Riverhead Town board to discuss changes that would help thin a burgeoning deer herd -- taking a stand against dumping in the Long Island Sound, and a meeting of the Suffolk County aquaculture lease program, for Peconic Bay and Gardiner's Bay, which will be held in Riverhead on April 10.
"My tenure in government, both as a Southold Town trustee and councilman, has prepared me for my role in the Suffolk County Legislature, especially my experience balancing budgets, preserving land and protecting our resources," Krupski wrote. "In the last several weeks I have met with numerous individuals and community groups to discuss the issues that are important to residents of the of the 1st Legislative District and I look forward to meeting more of you in the upcoming weeks and months."
Krupski said residents with concerns should call 631-852-3200 or stop by his office at 423 Griffing Avenue in Riverhead. Those wishing to subscribe to the newsletter can email email@example.com.

A friend and co-worker gave me some very old "old growth" pine. He was renovating his pre-Civil War home and the boards had been put up, at some point, to wall off an area in the house.
Used the same pattern as the previous cradles (Woodsmith) and made all of the parts (except for the accents of Walnut) from the pine. Spindles were turned without the aid of any duplicating device.
The pine was extremely dry and brittle from years of heat in the home. It was also very soft. The boards were not planed and a lot of the beautiful patina was lost to the sizing operations. I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the original patina came back during finishing. No effort was made to hide nail holes, worm tunnels or other defects.
Finish is just several coats of clear, semigloss Minwax poly.
I imagine he will be a grandpa one of these days, so I hope it comes in handy.
Thanks for looking!

On Wednesday night, St. Louis Cardinals utility infielder Tyler Greene let a ball go through his legs, turning a likely double play into a five-run inning. The Houston Astros saw that and said, "Saaaaay. This guy gets it." So on Thursday the Astros acquired Greene from the Cardinals for a player to be named later or cash.
The 28-year-old Greene has been with the Cardinals for parts of the last four seasons, and he's a career .218/.295/.329 hitter. He was hitting .218/.272/.358 this season with a career-high four home runs, 179 at-bats, and 56 strikeouts. He saw most of his time at second base this season, but he has experience at every position in the majors except for catcher and pitcher.
Greene was a much better hitter in the minors, with a career .270/.346/.449 line, which includes a .323/.422/.579 demolition of the Pacific Coast League last season. While it's possible the Astros are thinking Greene has some sort of untapped potential, it's likely they're just acquiring him for depth at the major-league level during their rebuilding period.

Sup. Scott Wiener is relentless, driven, prolific — and changing San Francisco in sometimes alarming ways

"He's very busy. He's amazingly prolific legislatively. I can't keep up with him and I don't know what his agenda is," said Sue Vaughan, who works with the Sierra Club and sits on the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's Citizens Advisory Council. "It just seems like everything he focuses on disempowers the voters and empowers the [wealthiest] 1 percent."
Even his critics have positive things to say about Wiener. "He's a nice guy, and I have to give him credit for going out of his way to work with us," Temprano said, praising Wiener's advocacy on queer, nightlife, and small business issues and saying, "He's a really good legislator."
"That said, we have a fundamentally different approach to politics," Temprano said. "A huge bone of contention is his handling of public space, including the nudity ban and removing the public benches" in the Castro.
Temprano criticizes Wiener for allowing social services to be slashed while local corporations get tax breaks and focusing more on the convenience of those middle class and above than the needs of those on the bottom, often by presenting "false choices," as Wiener did in opposing free Muni for youth by saying that increasing efficiency in the system was more important.
"The folks who have more basic needs are being pushed out of this city," Temprano said. "There are just so many needs right now, and so many of them come down to funding for social services and other things...We should be starting to re-fund programs that have been slashed in recent years."
Wiener has served on the Budget Committee throughout his tenure on the board, presiding over the rollback of city services and maintaining of historically low levels of business taxation.
In fact, Temprano said Wiener's engaging personal style and points of agreement with progressives make Wiener more effective in sometimes pushing issues that are hostile to progressive values. "It's occasionally difficult to play hardball on some of these other issues," Temprano said, noting that Wiener doesn't seem to have a problem switching gears and playing hardball in undermining progressive reforms, something that requires those of the left to be ever-vigilant and take advantage of Wiener's open-door policies. "We need to be incredibly vocal and incredibly organized."
Adds Radulovich: "There's something about him that's refreshing. He's different than the moderates of the past...He's a moderate, but he's the new generation of moderate."
In fact, Radulovich said that progressives could learn lessons from Wiener in terms of broadening their base and reaching across the aisle on certain issues that needn't be as polarizing as they often are in San Francisco, even around such emotional issues as growth and development.
"If you do anything differently, you get kicked out of the progressive camp," Radulovich said, half-jokingly adding, "If you had an original idea since 1978, you're suspect."
In fact, Radulovich compared Wiener to a former supervisor who is his political opposite: "Scott is effectively driving the conversation in proposing things. Chris Daly used to do that."
Peskin said that Wiener's legislative success so far has less to do with his skills and strength than it does with the weakness of the progressive movement over the last two years.
"He's only one supervisor, and it's just that his colleagues need to stand up and start questioning his legislation. He backs down when people rise to the occasion," Peskin said, noting that progressive activists may have become complacent after a decade when progressives had a majority at the board. "It's a big wake-up call for activists and everyday folks in San Francisco who have not had to go down to City Hall to stop bad things from happening in 10 years."
Scott is selling out the gay community to the noe valley sabb set - thats his base - long after hes gone he will be remembered as the anti-Harvey Milk - Hes the badlands of elected officials -

Good mini-biography, except for the odd ending on page 7 and the run-on paragraph. (Are there more pages?)
When it comes to Scott Wiener, his politics are as conservative as his sexuality, like something out of a 19th-century mausoleum. For him, the prerogatives of the landed gentry reign supreme. Period. No wonder the needs of the poor are not part of his "consciousness", as the article insinuated.
And nude people just "hanging out" on his streets? For Wiener, if there is no socioeconomic utility, there is no need to exist --- at least not in his Emerald City.
But what Jones should have mentioned is Supervisor Wiener's biggest failure: 2011's Proposition E (which would have given the Board the power to water down or eliminate initiatives). It failed miserably at the ballot: 67% voted against it. Luckily for Wiener, he hasn't gotten too much flack for this colossal legislative misstep. I wonder how he feels about it now.

Jason Grant Garza here ... is this the SCOTT Weiner that played a part in the NUCLEAR WINTER at the Sunshine Task Force and was found GUILTY of "OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT" in case # 11048 that HAS not been to ETHICS?
His spin was that the MINISTRY of SUNSHINE was costly to the CITY ... when I wrote to him in regard to HOW the MINISTRY is a SHILL and saves the CITY big $$$ by frustrating, vexing and basically dragging out DUE PROCESS ... I did not get a response.
So what was good for ROSS with Supervisor's Weiner vote against him IS NOT good enough for Scott ... where's the ETHICS trial over HIS OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT ? Two sets of RULES or will NO journalist ask?
Yes, another puff piece full of words and wonder signifying NOTHING.
Keep DRINKING the KOOL-AID or go to the MINISTRY and ask about case # 11081 to see HOW it is RIGGED and how this too (article) will PASS in time.

About one third of housholds in Sf owner occupy. Assuming the same household size for owners and rental, that means about one quarter of a million San Franciscans live in a home their family owns.
The rate nationwide is more like 2/3 owners, so clearly laws that help more people buy and own would be a desirable thing.
Posted by anon on Jan. 30, 2013 @ 9:48 am

Homeownership in Switzerland is 35%, proving that homeownership is not a necesary component of community stability.

Posted by Guest on Jan. 30, 2013 @ 10:47 am
I'm sure he meant 100,000 "households" manage to own a home in SF. I assume owner households average larger than the renter "households" mainly because there are so many studio and 1-bedroom rental apartments.
The city needs better, more accessible, numbers about its housing stock. There isn't anything more important than a community's housing base. As far as I know, there are no reliable numbers on how many homes are owned by residents and how many are 2nd and 3rd investment properties. Or how many rent-controlled units there are in the city and what are the proportions of studio through 3-bedroom units split between rent controlled and post-1978 construction? Or what is the proportion of home purchases between permanent residents vs. investors over the past 10 years?
My guesses (but we shouldn't have to guess):
280-320,000 Total Housing Units (with average occupancy over 2 for owner-occupied and under 2 for renter households)
100-120,000 Ownership Units (including condos)
65-75% of the ownership units are owner occupied; 25-35% are rented out
5-15% of the ownership units are 2nd, 3rd or 4th "homes" used part-time by the moneyed set
180-220,000 Rental Units
110-130,000 are under rent-control price protection
70-100,000 are post-1978 construction
I was encouraged that both Supervisors Chiu and Kim asked good questions about housing numbers during Tuesday's hearing. Neither could have been very impressed with the numbers and answers provided by the City Attorney and DPW, who both sounded clueless about potential numbers of units and about other finer points about the condo conversion process. And the cracks in the enforcement process between DPW and the Rent Board sounded so wide that I'm sure the "efficient" DPW guy hired a few years ago allowed more than a few dozen conversions that should have been prohibited under current rules.

Marcos, both you an "troll" make the mistake of assuming that ever single person in needs to live alone. However, young children live with parents, individuals live with their significant others/spouses/partners, extended family members live together.
We don't need to be able to provide a separate dwelling for every single resident of SF because many people voluntarily live together as a couple/family not because they cannot afford to live separately. There is no city in the world, nor will there ever be, where every single resident has his or her own separate dwelling unit.
Posted by Chris on Jan. 30, 2013 @ 11:11 am
only about 300,000 or so homes. Of those 200,000 or so are rented, most of which are covered by rent control.
Over time, the number of units of rent control diminish because, as vacancies arise, the owners switch them to owner occupied units and sell them. Several thousand RC units "vanish" every year.
Eventually, there will not be enough votes for rent control to continue.

How many of those home owner rent at triple the real rent rate and not even live here?
Mr. Lembi leaves behind a real estate conglomerate, which, at its zenith in 2008, owned more than 300 apartment buildings in San Francisco, but is currently besieged by bankruptcies, foreclosures and receiverships.
The company's business practices have also been criticized, especially by tenants groups. Several lawsuits have been filed, including one by City Attorney Dennis Herrera, alleging harassment, illegal evictions and rent raises, lack of repairs and failure to repay security deposits.
"There was nothing particularly notorious until they went on a buying spree in the middle of the decade. Then they developed a well-defined strategy of harassing rent-controlled tenants out of their buildings in order to raise the rents to market levels," said Ted Gullicksen, director of the San Francisco Tenants Union. "It was successful for a while, then there was pushback, the financial collapse, and the Lembis started losing buildings."

Soctt Wiener is without a doubt the WORST SUPERVISOR in the history of San Francisco. He sits in his ivory tower scratching his head trying to think of ways he can CHANGE San Francisco, instead of working to SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS. It will take the City decades to undo the damage that he has already caused.

It's currently Van Winkle season in bourbon land. That means that grown men are hunting for bottles of whiskey and doing everything they can to get them. In many ways, it's like the Cabbage Patch craze of the early 80s – except it's a longer-lasting craze at this point. Instead of downplaying things and telling everyone to be calm, I figured I'd just pour some gasoline on the fire. After all, if I say they aren't that great, people will cynically assume I'm just trying to downplay interest so I can find some for myself.
The Van Winkle bourbons are some of the most sought-after bourbons on the market. They've rightfully gotten a collective reputation as some of the most consistently excellent bourbons on the market. Add to that reputation some extremely tight allocations (stores in California don't get more than a handful of bottles, and some charge ridiculous prices) and you have the right elements for retail insanity.
Recently, the Van Winkle bourbons have been some of the most visible remaining sources of whiskey distilled at the Stitzel-Weller distillery. Stitzel-Weller ceased production in the early '90s and now, 20 years later, some of their last remaining bourbon is being bottled as Pappy Van Winkle.
The Van Winkle bourbons are a wheat recipe, meaning they use wheat as the flavor grain instead of rye. They can have a more soft, less spicy quality than rye-recipe bourbons. The marquee expressions of Van Winkle are aged to 15 years and 20 years; there are also 10, 12 and 23 year old expressions.
Today I'm looking at the 20 year old expression, for no other reason than it was the first Van Winkle expression I ever tasted. Perhaps for that reason – or perhaps by its character – it's remained my favorite.
The nose on the 20 year old is initially sweet, but presents some wood that is good and not overbearing. Then the clay and earthy notes pop up and dominate – this is a note very similar to the notes I've found on the bottom cut barrels of the Buffalo Trace Single Oak experimental releases. Providing some brightness on the nose, a faint trace of orange and cinnamon, as well as a faint dusting of white pepper.
The palate is all cherries initially. The earthiness and clay continues, as well as a hint of marshmallow. Some light maple syrup is in there, and even a touch of bubblegum – think soft Bazooka bubblegum. There's a gentle grainy character to it, and a medium wood presence that isn't overbearing. A dash of white pepper on the palate provides a reasonable heat.
The finish is great – it's light and smooth and lasting. There's wood initially but the earthy notes dominate. Some brightness is again provided by oranges, and it's all tied together with a bit of black cherry and bubblegum.
Pappy 20 is a great bourbon. I prefer it to other Van Winkles (and many bourbons) because everything tucks together nicely. Everything is in balance and it just works perfectly in unison. I often think bourbons of this character (earthy, bubblegummy, with cherries and wood) need to have something turned up. In this case, it's so perfectly balanced that I don't think I'd change a thing. Everything is well worn but not tired.
Now, all this said: is Pappy the perfect whiskey? No, I've liked others more. I admit they could be stunt bourbons or one-trick ponies. Pappy 20 is a refined southern gentleman, with polite manners and reminding you of a bygone era. That said, he'll talk your ear off with some great stories. The mania surrounding Pappy can be off-putting (even I am less interested this year), but when you put it all aside and pour a glass, it's hard to deny the greatness of this bourbon. It's an easy A- for me.
At a glance:
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20y – 45.2% ABV
Nose: Initially sweet; some good, aged wood. Faint hint of clay and other earthiness. The faintest trace of oranges and cinnamon. A bit of white pepper – the faintest dusting.
Palate: A fair amount of cherries; the clay earthiness continues with a hint of marshmallow. Some light maple syrup as well, and a touch of bubblegum. Gentle grains. Medium wood – present but not overbearing at all. A dash of white pepper heats things up gently.
Finish: Light and smooth; a bit of wood shows up here as the earthy notes dominate. The orange notes are nicely present on the high end, providing some brightness. The black cherry lies underneath it all, tying it together.
Comment: This is a great bourbon, of course. I personally prefer it to other Van Winkles because everything tucks together nicely. I often think bourbons need to have this profile turned up. In this case, this one is at the perfect intensity – everything's got the edges rounded off, well worn but not tired, and in great proportions.

Using the Amazon AWS Calculator
Hello all,
I've been trying to know about AWS lately. I've been working on a project for my university and I want to go live with it soon. It's a website.
It needs about 2-3 GB of space (5 GB max). And with 500 students downloading 100 mb data each, I need 50 GB of bandwidth too. And then I need like about 2-3 MySQL databases with each database having a lot of tables, 100 tables, with 100 entries in each and unlimited outgoing emails too.
I want to know how to use the AWS Calculator with EC2, S3, etc, what value to give in each field to get an estimate of my monthly expense.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thank you
