Troubled Waters for Migrant Workers in Korea
A disturbing report was released last week on the high levels of abuse dealt out to migrant workers in Korea, with large numbers responding that they suffer from verbal, physical and sexual abuse in the workplace.The release of the report comes at a time when 32 Indonesian workers recently walked off their Korean-run vessel in New Zealand, claiming physical and sexual abuse on-board.
SEOUL, South Korea -- According to a recent survey by the Joint Committee with Migrants in Korea (JCMK) 26.8 percent of migrant workers in Korea report being physically abused and nearly 14 percent reported sexual abuse in the work place. The reported numbers highlight ongoing concerns by worker's right groups over the lives of migrant workers in the workplace on the peninsula.
The release of this report could not have been more timely, after members of the New Zealand parliament last week sought to grant temporary amnesty to 32 Indonesian sailors who walked off a Korean-run freighter claiming they suffered from physical and sexual abuse while on board the Korean vessel Shin Ji.
New Zealand Labour minister, Kate Wilkinson told reporters: "Deporting the men now would be unjust. The crew are also prime witnesses for the ministers' inquiry, and they shouldn't be bundled out of the country so quickly."
The crew of the Shin Ji will remain in Auckland waiting for a New Zealand Department of Labour investigation.
And while international attention turns towards Korean companies at sea, the release of the JCMK report gives groups on the here the ammunition needed to get the attention of Korean legislators and the media.
To the government's credit, Amnesty International has heralded South Korea as being the first country in Asia to protect the rights of migrant workers by law. As yet the implementation hasn't kept pace with the hopes and expectations of migrant workers and the organizations seeking to protect them.
Korea has a strong history of organized labor movements such as those pictured above. Even sex workers in Seoul organized this year to protest police crackdowns on their livelihood.
The JCMK study found that out of the 931 people surveyed, 78.2 percent reported being verbally abused, and nearly 14 percent answered that they were sexually harassed.
JCMK conducted the survey to measure instances of human rights abuses in Korea toward foreign migrant workers with the help of 33 member organizations around the country. The JCMK distributed surveys translated into 10 languages from May 1 to May 31 of this year.
"The human rights conditions of foreign migrant workers have not improved at all. We have conducted research on the actual conditions continuously for the past few years but we cannot say that any improvements have been made," said Lee Young, secretary of the JCMK, told the Korea Times.
Lee attributes the high amount of abuse to the nature of the job and lingering racism against foreigners in Korea.
"The reason why discrimination exists in these work places is because the foreign migrant workers work in 3D jobs (dirty, dangerous, demeaning) under poor conditions. Also, the prejudice against foreigners, especially from developing countries, still exists," said Lee.
"Now seven years into Korea's implementation of the Employment Permit System (EPS), that was meant to better protect the rights of migrant workers, many continue to face hardships and abuse," says Amnesty Internationals Roseann Rife.
"Despite the advances of the EPS system, the cycle of abuse and mistreatment continues as thousands of migrant workers find themselves at the mercy of employers and the authorities who mistreat them knowing their victims have few legal rights and are unable to access justice or seek compensation for the abuse," said Rife.
According to the Ministry of Labor, over 700,000 migrant workers have come to Korea for work, mostly from Thailand, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Vietnam. On their daily work schedule, the survey found that, 39.5 percent responded that they work 8-10 hours per day and 34.9 percent said 10-12 hours.
Of the 1.39 million foreign residents, 716,000 came here to work. It represents 2.9 percent of the total number of employees here. The ministry also reported that illegal sojourners accounted for 166,000 or 23.6 percent of the ROK's foreign workers.

GourmetKickz /ICO CDS Inc.
60 Watson Blvd.
Stratford, CT 06615
If your query is regarding a custom sneaker status update or cancellation / credit request please use this page.
Please read the FAQ's below before completing the contact form. The answer to your question is most likely there.
Q. Are your sneakers 100% Authentic?
A. Yes! I would never sell or customize fakes.
Q. Why are some of your sneakers so expensive, sometimes over $500?
A. Most of the sneakers on this site are customized works of art. These sneakers started life as a Nike manufactured shoe, then landed in my "Kitchen" where I added my own artwork and flare to, thus transforming them into GourmetKickz "food for the sole".
Q. Is the shoe included in the price? Or do I have to send in my own shoe?
A. Most of the listing include the base shoe needed to produce the final custom piece shown. If the listing lets you select your shoe size, it includes the base shoe. To drill down to listings that allow you to send in your own kicks click the "send in your kicks for work" link on the left hand menu.
Q. What is process to get a custom sneaker done?
A. If the design you want is not already listed on the site, you must use the "1 of 1 page" or "1 of 1 LeBron X page" and commission Chef to create something unique. Details are listed from there. Currently there is no quote system available on this website and due to the volume of orders time cannot be spent sharing ideas until you have commissioned Chef. Don't know how much to spend? That is understandable, budget choices are therefore listed on the 1 of 1 page.
Q. I saw a custom shoe you did a while ago and want the same thing done, but I don't see it on the site. Can you do that design again?
A. No. If one of my custom works is removed off the site, and the option to reproduce this custom is not listed on one of the "send in your own shoes for work" pages, then I am done making this custom forever. I suggest you seek to get something similar done, or better yet, something completely different.
Q. I saw a custom someone else did and I want the same thing done. Can you help me?
A. No, I do not copy other people's work.
Q. I just want some "dirty breds" or just the midsole painted on my kicks. Can you help me?
A. No, jobs like this are far too basic to appeal to my artistic sensibilities. If you want to commission me first with the minimum $450 budget and choose to ONLY have a midsole painted, that is your prerogative. But I am sure we can think of better things to do with your budget.
Q. I am just checking in and wanted to ask, how are my kicks doing?
A.I wish I had more news for you but the bulk of your wait time is spent doing just that, waiting for your kicks to be ushered into the kitchen for their turn to get cooked! You will be notified with a tracking number when they are done. If you don't trust me, I understand, this is a sketchy world, please be honest, tell me you don't trust me and allow me to refund you. If my profiles and features on large sneaker blogs do not gain your trust, I think it's better to give you your money back than deal with the negativity.
Q. How long until I receive my custom shoes?
A. Unless you paid for ship times less than 6 months, your wait time ranges from 5 to 8 months. This became the average wait time as of March 2013. If you didn't know this, then you simply didn't read the banner at checkout when reviewing your cart and rushed through the site. Unfortunately there are no refunds and you are responsible for the order you place. Wait times are only estimates, this is art not science. If you are not patient, see a therapist to remedy that because I have no time to deal with repeated "how is my order" inquiries, they are annoying. I am just being honest, you should have read.
Q. What is the status of my custom sneaker order?
A. Since your kicks spend most of their time waiting in line to be worked on, there really are only 2 status; not done and done. So unfortunately there is no info to give and I hope you understand that with so many kicks to work on I cannot possibly send updates every time I touch a shoe to put in some work. I am very A.D.D. so sometimes I might be working on a dozen at a time! Just remember art is not a science, so wait times stated at the time of purchase are just an estimate. GourmetKickz is currently in very high demand.
Q. How durable are your custom kicks? Is there some sort of guarantee?
A. Wearable art has its limits, just like a piece of hanging art. My custom kicks are intended for casual wear, not rough athletic wear. With proper care custom kicks can last indefinitely. My customs use a mix of mediums, from paint to fabric to other textiles. Industrial strength materials are used as are reliable paints and clear coat finishes. Handle with care, because with some of today's sneaker materials paint no longer soaks in as it would with leather, it adheres just like it would on a car or a sculpture. Clear coats offer durability, however scraping or rough wear will inevitably break down clear coats and compromise the art. Similarly soles that are treated to glow will wear down to the rubber if you wear them on concrete, glow is a coating not a dye. Even dyed soles will wear down eventually to reveal the original sole color, rubber is non-absorbent, it is not a sponge or a fabric, rubber is non-porous and it is tinted on the surface when dyed. not throughout like a piece of cloth being dyed. The sides of your glowed and dyed soles will last indefinitely, and with care so will the bottoms. Keep in mind the larger of a person you are, the more care is needed when walking on concrete and rough surfaces, your soles will wear down faster due to gravity and physics. Wear with care!
Q. Can I pay extra to speed up my custom sneaker order?
A. Some listings offer shortened timeline options. However these prices are steep but for good reason. I charge approximately $100 per month for each month you want to shorten your wait time by. This price reflects the fact that I may lose an order by bumping your rushed order ahead of another client's order. If you are willing to pay the extra, I am willing to take the rushed order. BUT, and this is important, there is still a chance that I may miss your shortened deadline. In the event I miss the shortened deadline it is customary that I refund your rush fee. Your order would then be set to ship on my normal estimated timeline. The choice is yours, but this option appears on very few listings.
Q. I pre-ordered some kicks, when will they be shipped.
A. Your kicks will be shipped within a few business days of the release date, not sooner. Do not email for ship dates, you already have the info, you are responsible for reading the information given on the item and at checkout.
Q. What shipping method do you use?
A. I ship USPS Priority with signature confirmation on any order over $200. Smaller orders are shipping with delivery confirmation.
Q. How long until I receive my T-shirt?
A. All shirts are made to order. Graphic printed tees (chest graphic only) take about 7 to 10 business days to ship. All over print tees are also made to order and take longer. All over printed tees take about 2 to 3 weeks before they ship. Plan your purchase accordingly.
Q. Why was my order refunded?
A. You more than likely paid with PayPal using an unconfirmed address. Most items require a confirmed address. If you have a PayPal account simply log in and double check that your specified shipping addresses are listed as "confirmed". If your desired shipping address is not yet confirmed please confirm it before re-sending payment or ordering again. If you need assistance with confirming your address in your PayPal account call PayPal, I cannot assist with this. You may have also been refunded due to some misuse of the website: excessive order queries that proved you did not read the details of the item you ordered, inappropriate social media queries (all customer service is handled via this website ONLY), inappropriate call times (very late night or very early AM). In short, I reserve the right to cancel an order if I feel you are being rude or immature.
A. You may also receive a refund because the kicks you sent in were too beat up to create a showcase-worthy piece of art. As instructed on the send in your own kicks pages, you must use your best judgement.
Q. Will I be notified that you got the kicks I sent in?
A. Not unless the tracking number you sent was no good. You are asked to provide a tracking number so I can match it up to your order when the box comes in. The kicks will be inspected in detail when they are next in line to be worked on. This is important! If you send in beat up kicks, you won't get them back right away because sneakers are not inspected until it is their turn to be worked on. Packages remain sealed until they are worked on to eliminate loss or damage while in my possession.
Q. I was refunded and paid with a card, but I do not see my money, where is it?
A. I do not have it. Once I refund in either PayPal or SquareUp it is up to your bank to release funds back to you. Please contact your bank.
Q. Do you have a customer service number?
A. Yes I do, but you must look through the site before getting it. My number has been abused by people who have clearly not read through the website, sorry I am a 1 person show, so I need prospective clients to search the site and read carefully before calling.
Q. What do I do if I read everything so far and still don't see the answer to my question?
A. Try reading the About Page or the Site Policies
Q. Why didn't I get a reply to my email?
A. Because your answer is above somewhere and you didn't look for it. Read.
Do not email Chef about ideas, not even simple ones, just use this page: 1 of 1 Commissioning Page and pay for a commission first.
"How to" or "what kind of paint / dye" inquiries will be ignored. It is the same as asking me for money.
All other inquiries may be sent using the form below.

Your neighbor could be one, your coworker or even your own mother. Some say they are Doomsday or conspiracy theorists. They say they are just regular folks, with one exception.
"If the power or water got shut off after five days, which is not out of the realm of possibility, I wouldn't be leaving my house because it's going to be pandemonium, people are not going to be prepared," said Low Buck Prepper.
They're called preppers: People all over Arizona prepping with food, water and security.
To protect his identity this man goes by Low Buck Prepper. He started prepping with one thing in mind.
"You just never know what's going to happen, you have health insurance, you have car insurance. Why don't you have food insurance or water insurance?"
But Low Buck wants you to know it's not what you think, he's prepping for a different reason. "I do this because I don't think the end of the world is coming or anything like that but if I lose my job, well I have 6 months of food that me and my wife can live on. If a family or a neighbor needs help I can help, plus it's fun."
Most preppers don't consider themselves as Doomsdayers or conspiracy theorists.
He says most are just preparing for the possibilities of what could happen. Like the collapse of our government to a natural disaster.
Low Buck started a YouTube channel about nine months ago and already has more than 3,000 subscribers.
Teaching and learning from other preppers how to stockpile food, water, guns and ammo -- basic needs of survival.
"If you don't think things can get bad really quick, look at the videos on Black Fridays and the sales of people getting trampled. That's for a sale, now imagine if the lights were out and you needed food or something like that."
But it has happened, 2005 Hurricane Katrina. It left thousands of people searching for food, water and power.
"The closer we get to Doomsday and with what's happening in the market and people are losing their homes, people are angry. People are prepping," said George Landa, Sales Manager for Miller's Surplus.
He says preppers bring in big business to his local store. Recently they sold out of MRE's, meals ready to eat.
"Of course they want the MRE's, the flashlights, they want the pararope. That works for everything for pulling, tailing, tying their tarps, tarps go, tents go."
He expects business to pick up the closer we get to 2012, the Mayan calendar prediction for the end of the world. But for the majority of preppers like Low Buck, he says he has no special plans to prepare for that he's just ready for the 'what if.'
"I'm just not a conspiracist. I'm not believing that I'm going to see the end of the world anytime in my lifetime, but you know, I just prepare for anything."
Low Buck says the prepper movement is a very tight-knit community and they are finding each other on the web.
To learn more about the prepper movement we've posted a link to Low Buck's YouTube Channel.

New CYREN distribution partner VCW Security scores its first Security as a Service deal
MCLEAN, Va., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ: CYRN), a global provider of cloud-based security solutions, today announced that The New Saints Football Club (TNS), a member of the Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), is one of the first UK organizations to adopt the cloud-based CYREN WebSecurity solution.
The football club chose CYREN WebSecurity through VCW Security, a leading UK distributor of IT security solutions and new CYREN partner. VCW Security announced its partnership with CYREN just last month – and already finds itself securing online traffic for a leading football club's players, coaches and administrators.
Less than 60 days since their distribution partnership began, VCW Security and CYREN see fast-growing interest among organizations currently exposed to potentially crippling internet security risks. Delivering the low cost and high utility of cloud-based applications, CYREN WebSecurity is ideally suited to address explosive growth in the Security as a Service (SecaaS) markets that are driven by an increasingly mobile workforce, BYOD trends, and low cost, high utility cloud-based applications and storage.
"CYREN WebSecurity will serve as a key component of our football club's comprehensive e-security efforts," said Ian Williams, COO at TNS. "By deploying CYREN's cloud-based service, we will ensure safe web access for our entire organization, including coaches, staff and players. The ability to protect our users on a wide variety of devices was one of the key top reasons for our choice."
"The short time that it took to sign our first end-user deal is a reflection of VCW's security expertise as well as the unmatched protection that CYREN WebSecurity offers as a full-featured, comprehensive SecaaS solution," said Simon Jackson, commercial director at VCW Security. "We are particularly pleased that our first install will help guard a football club against ever-growing internet threats."
"CYREN WebSecurity continues to spark interest among distributors and resellers who serve their local organizations on a daily basis and see firsthand the many benefits of a SecaaS solution, including enhanced next generation internet protection and unmatched convenience," said Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at CYREN. "VCW Security's upcoming deployment of CYREN WebSecurity at a well-known UK football club just further underscores the level of innovation and simplicity that we are pleased to jointly offer."

His speech in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa marked the first anniversary of a transfer of power in 2012 that followed massive protests and sit-ins. With Saleh pictures and flags, tens of thousands of Saleh supporters gathered near the presidential palace, chanting "the people want Ali Abdullah Saleh." Saleh arrived in an entourage similar to the presidential convoy while a top Saleh party politician, Sultan al-Barakani, addressed the crowd by saying, "welcome the brother, the leader."
"We call for reconciliation, shaking hands and forgiveness of the past to build a new Yemen. Forget about the past and look at the future," he told the cheering crowd.
Saleh, who stepped down in 2012 as part of power transfer deal that gave him immunity from prosecution in return, appeared to be attempting to show that he still has the support of the masses, after the United Nations Security Council threatened to impose sanctions on him for allegedly trying to impede the country's democratic transition.
A day earlier, Saleh addressed members of his party—The National People's Congress—by saying the Security Council aims at "alienating us from life."
"As for the Security Council ... they want us to leave the country, alienate us from the chairmanship of the Congress party and then they want to alienate us from life," he said. He drew a comparison between his former ruling party and Iraq's ex-ruling party under Saddam Hussein which was excluded from political life by saying, "this is just like what happened to the Baath party in Iraq."
Saleh has been accused of trying to manipulate power through a network of relatives and supporters still in key positions. His successor, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, has several times reorganized state institutions, including the military, to remove Saleh's men from their posts. However, the military's loyalties remain divided, posing a threat to the country's stability as it battles al-Qaida militants in southern mountains and other areas.
In his Tuesday's speech, Saleh said his party would contest the country's upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections set for next year. The country's new constitution will be drafted in the coming months, no easy task given the strong separatist movement in the south.
Last Thursday, clashes between security forces and militants affiliated to the separatist movement broke out in the south, leaving four dead. The movement says the area has been marginalized for years and its wealth distributed unequally. The country's north and south were two separate states until unity in 1990.

Pick a high school wrestler at random, and ask what his ultimate goal is.
More often than not, the answer is to compete at the state tournament, which starts Thursday at Value City Arena in Columbus.
Just 22 individuals from the area accomplished that goal this year, but a smaller minority isn't satisfied yet. Reaching higher than the state tournament, higher than getting to the podium, the best wrestlers have championship aspirations.
For Lake Catholic's Anthony Tutolo (126 pounds), this year has been all about getting back to the title match. That's where he, as a sophomore, lost an 8-5 decision to CVCA's Nathan Tomasello, pound-for-pound one of the top wrestlers in the country. A year later, Tutolo is after that one more victory.
"Winning a championship has been the goal all season," Tutolo said. "Everything I've done has led up to this tournament. It's all about being mentally prepared and staying focused. Now I just have to go out and do it."
Getting back to the state tournament, relatively speaking, was the easy part. Tomasello may be positioned safely a weight class below Tutolo, but a crowded field of formidable athletes stands between Tutolo and his ultimate goal.
Tutolo isn't the only one looking to win that one extra match. On the opposite side of his bracket is Cody Burcher of Uhrichsville Claymont, who has been the runner up at 106 and 103 pounds the past two years. Six other wrestlers were on the podium last year, including St. Vincent-St. Mary's Mike Rix (fourth, 120) and Circleville's Tyler Knul (seventh, 126).
"The top six, probably, kids in the state were at my (Alliance) district, so it was definitely good to see them already," Tutolo said. "I feel like I am as prepared as I can be. It's definitely exciting."
Perry heavyweight Billy Miller has seen a lot of West Branch's Connor Sharp lately. Miller beat Sharp in a district semifinal last year and the district final this year. Sharp won the third-place match at state in 2012 and again during the team tournament.
If the two win their first three matches -- Sharp would have to beat returning placer J.R. Foresee of New Richmond in the opening round -- the tiebreaker for their 2-2 record over the past 12 months would be in the title match.
Perry is looking for its first champion after seven previous finalists.
"The only thing we can do right now is be prepared, wrestle our best and have fun," Miller said. "No matter what happens, if we get a state champ or not, we're going to make the most of the experience. That's all there is to it."
Riverside's Evan Rosborough (220) has two losses (32-2) on the season, both coming from out-of-state wrestlers at the Ironman tournament in December. Rosborough will likely have to face fellow district champ Chalmer Frueauf of Cincinnati Moeller, another favorite in the weight class, in a semifinal.
Madison senior Nick Montgomery (138) is 15-1 after missing most of the season with an injury. He seems to back in shape for another title run in Columbus, where he placed seventh and fourth, respectively, as a freshman and sophomore. Madison has also never had a state champ out of seven finalists, the most runners-up without a title in Division I.
Montgomery would probably see undefeated Noah Forrider of Marysville (45-0) in the final after a matchup with Fairfield's Adam Sams.
Perry's Evan Nichols and Lake Catholic's Jimmy Szep (195) have met in the sectional and district finals, with the former coming out on top both times. The two could meet again in the final in Columbus.
Nothing is guaranteed in the state tournament. While upsets happen all the time, there are some wrestlers who have made a habit out of winning championships. Perry's Aaran Gessic (132) -- one of those rare state qualifiers in cross country and wrestling -- finds himself in the same weight class as St. Paris Graham's Micah Jordan, who is 47-1 and a two-time titlist.
The Pirates' Alec Schenk (160) could also make it to the first-place match, where he'd undoubtedly face Graham's Bo Jordan, a three-time champ. Bo Jordan is 178-1 in his high school career, with the one loss coming as a freshman.
Between Tutolo, Miller, Rosborough and the nearly two dozen individuals at state this week, it seems inevitable that at least one will work his way to the title match. Time will tell whether one can, like only 14 in the state per division can do, go unbeaten in Columbus.

Parents often ask, "Should I be concerned about pesticides on produce and which fruits and vegetables have the highest levels of residues?"
Healthy Child Healthy World examined findings from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and the Pesticide Action Network (PAN), based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to learn the answers to these important questions. Here's what they found:
The answer, according to PAN, depends on the pesticide, the person, and the timing and type of exposure. What's more, pesticide regulation in the U.S. doesn't adequately account for things like additive and synergistic effects. That is, since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates primarily on a chemical-by-chemical basis, "the combined and cumulative effects of a mixture of pesticides are nearly impossible for them to address – and so they usually don't."
Children are especially vulnerable to toxic exposures, so Healthy Child recommends taking a better-safe-than-sorry approach and reducing exposures however you can. Combined exposures, for instance, present special risks to children. For example, 1-year-olds eat three times as many fresh peaches (which have higher pesticide residues) per pound of body weight as do adults, and more than four times as many apples and pears (also high in residues). Pregnant women should take care, too, as many pesticides pass through the placenta to the fetus.
Healthy Child also strongly encourages families to eat a wide variety of produce because the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Organic is preferable for many reasons, but eating conventionally grown produce is far better than not eating any at all.
Use the following list to help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues and so are the most important to buy organic, as well as which ones you don't need to worry about. According to the EWG, "you can lower your pesticide consumption by nearly four-fifths by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and instead eating the least contaminated produce."
Here are the latest recommendations based on EWG's 2010 analysis:
1. Wash and peel. With nonorganic produce, peel fruit that you would normally just rinse, such as apples and pears. However, some pesticides, like dieldrin, aldicarb, and DDT, are systemic, which means they pervade the flesh of the vegetable or fruit.
2. Visit a farmers' market. It's best to buy certified organic produce whenever you can. Also look for locally grown food, which is less likely to be treated with postharvest pesticides. Farmers' markets are a great resource for both. Local Harvest can help you find your local food sources.
3. Plan ahead. Do some advance research to find deals and discounts on organic foods so it's easier to fit them into your budget.

I came two years late. You see, I was in Torrance two years ago doing my own "brew tour" when I received a phone call for baseball tickets which I could not reject. That cut my day short, but I'm back. Sitting in downtown Torrance is the Red Car Brewery, which is housed in an old building. The space inside mixes elements of the old building in with a brewery and restaurant. A simple door opens yourself to the brewpub, where lies the restaurant (left) and bar (right). I'll take a stool, thank you. A roomy bar with seating for over a dozen people, the taps sitting in the middle of the bar, brewpub-logoed glassware at each seat to hold checks (if you do this, make sure the glasses are cleaned and the rims aren't chipped). Sports on TV, lots of sunlight entering the room during the afternoon...I think I can relax.
At one end of the bar is a listing of the day's beers, while the menu itself shows its 6 regular beers. During my visit, "only" five house beers available (Big Red, Special Bitter, Motorman, South Bay IPA, Black IPA), available in pints and tasters. I prefer pints, so I ordered the bitter (much too dry) and Motorman (decent). Just standard shaker pints for the main glassware. $6 pints.
I was more hungry than thirsty, so pulled pork was selected along with a side of garlic fries. While the beer's did not excite me, the food certainly did, and it sounds weird to write that I would come back for the food before the beer. Having a helpful bartender also kept my visit going in the right direction.
Would I return? Maybe. The overall experience was fine. Regarding just the beer, there are other breweries which I would hit before Red Car.

I stopped in here recently when I was in the area. It's a fairly small place with a side for tables and dining and then the bar side. I sat at the bar and ordered a sampler flight. The bartender said he was out of 2 of the 5 beers but I saw him pour all 5 so I'm not sure why he was saying that. The quality of the beers was pretty good but they seemed a bit warm straight from the tap. The service was alright but there weren't that many people in there and it took a while to get my check at the end. The selection was limited to 5 of the house beers and a few bottled offerings from other breweries from what I could tell. Prices were reasonable for the beer. To be honest, this is sort of a depressing place and I'm not sure I will be back.

Love this place. One of the best burgers in town and excellent beer. The service is awesome and I love getting a growler of south bay IPA every time I come. Food is all awesome, tons of flavor and a great variety. B-Fast is served all day and you can get a burger rare. I have two kids and the wait team is always awesome to them and everything I ask for from a cup of croutons to cucumbers with the skin cut off I can get. My wife always get a garden salad and even just a regular ol' garden salad is beyond awesome! Fries are some of the best and they have a BBQ/Ranch deep that is pretty awesome. So, from appetizers to Dinner to a bowl of croutons, everything is way above average and not badly priced. Oh, and I almost forgot, they serve a fresh homemade bread (which they make their croutons out of) they serve with oil and vinegar, is pretty awesome too! Comes with every meal in the dinning area, don't know about the bar!

Red Car is in Torrance off of Torrance and Cabrillo. They have a decent sized private lot and there appears to be metered parking in the surrounding blocks.
The brewpub is housed in a historic brick telegraph building. The exterior has stucco and a patio, with lots of windows. The inside is brick with cream colored walls. The bar is on the right side with a small dining area opposite. Brewing equipment is visible behind the bar, and there is a chalkboard listing what beers are on tap.
Red Car has 5 beers on draught and has a sampler for $5.25. The styles are pretty typical, including an Amber, APA, IPA, Porter and Anniversary Ale. The beers are average for the most part.
Service on a weekday lunch at the bar was pretty good. The bartender was not very busy and was friendly.
I had a sandwich and fries for lunch and it was decent.
Overall this place does not exactly have a robust array of beers, and the ones they do have are straightforward. However it still merits a visit due to the nice atmosphere and overall quality of the beer and food.

The Justice Department reports progress in settlement talks over a lawsuit by a House committee to get records involving the bungled gun-tracking program known as Operation Fast and Furious.
In a filing Tuesday, the department proposed postponing next week's court hearing because of the progress in talks with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The department said committee lawyers agreed.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson rescheduled the hearing to April 24.
The Justice Department said that the parties in the case believe that "further talks may be fruitful."
Next week's hearing was on the Justice Department's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Fast and Furious was a Phoenix-based operation designed to track purchases by suspected low-level buyers on behalf of gun-smuggling kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 guns.

The UFC's fifth trip to Montreal earned them a solid gate with Georges St. Pierre on top, as expected. The card, headlined by GSP's title defense against former Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz, had a total attendance of 20,145 at the Bell Centre to earn a gate of 3.71 million dollars. There was some initial confusion about the gate at the post-fight press conference, but Dana White was quickly corrected and the total was indeed the 3.71 mil.
In terms of bonuses, the night belonged to welterweights. It wasn't much of a surprise that the co-main event war between Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks won fight of the night. And Jake Ellenberger picked up the knockout of the night bonus for his KO of Nate Marquardt in the first round of their bout. Each man won the now-standard $50,000.
There were no submissions, so obviously no one got the bonus for that. I wish they could split that 50k between Condit and Hendrivks though, because that was one of the best fights I've ever seen.

Three local county fair authorities have received grants from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD).
The Saginaw County Fair of Chesaning received $16,051. The money will be used to develop handicap-accessible paths to the livestock barns. The Lapeer County Agricultural Society of Imlay City was allocated $9,187 to upgrade fluorescent light fixtures to T-8 efficient light fixtures. The Shiawassee County Fair of Corunna received $4,108 for a state of the art septic system for a bathroom project.
"The awarded grants provide a unique opportunity for our state's county fairs to enhance their fairground facilities and infrastructure," said Clover Adams. "Michigan's local county fairs play a vital role in our agricultural economy by helping to maintain a connection to rural communities and youth development."
The department received a total of 61 proposals. Of those, MDARD awarded 21 projects.
The MDARD says this grant program provides additional access to funds for county fair officials to help make needed improvements to their fairground facilities; including but not limited to structural improvements or other renovations to buildings.
Eligible applicants included fairs that are incorporated under Act 80 of 1855 or county owned and operated fairs operating under Act 11 of 1929; and county fairs that have submitted all required year-end reports for the prior two years.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh State baseball coach Kris Doorey tried something different Tuesday afternoon.
It didn't work, however, in the Cardinals' 5-3 non-conference loss to Middlebury College at Chip Cummings Field.
"We gave an opportunity to some of our other players," Doorey said. "We wanted to see if the coaching staff was missing something by not giving some of those players a chance to prove themselves the last few weeks.
"But in the back of our minds, that didn't happen (Tuesday). They were given the opportunity and weren't able to take advantage of it."
Plattsburgh (6-15) held a 3-1 lead through six innings behind the pitching of Scott Orr and Joe Leddy. Orr allowed one run on two hits over the first three innings and Leddy surrendered a hit and two walks in pitching scoreless baseball over the next three.
"Orr continues to throw the ball well for us and Leddy did a good job in his first appearance," Doorey said.
Colin Crawford, who took the loss in relief, allowed five hits and four runs over the final three innings as the Cardinals made a couple of errors that led to two of the runs being unearned.
"I felt bad for Crawford," Doorey said. "It was a tough loss for him.
"But he retired the first two batters in the ninth inning and then walked two. So he brought some of the trouble upon himself."
Sawyer Olson pitched the first five innings for the Panthers (4-10) and Noah Bakker went the rest of the way for the win. The two combined to allow seven hits and struck out 11
Dylan Sinnickson had two of the eight Middlebury hits, one being a triple.
Luke Weaver and Nicholas Lupo, batting 1-2 in the Plattsburgh order, led the way for the Cardinals with Weaver getting two hits and Lupo three. Ben Weightman added a triple.
"Weaver and Lupo are two of our regulars and they accounted for five of our seven hits," Doorey said. "We didn't get much offensively from the other players.
"And we made five errors in the game."
The Cardinals are back at Cummings Field today for a 3:30 p.m. non-conference game with Clarkson University.
"We'll have our regular players back in the line-up for that game," Doorey said.

Traffic on Capital Avenue in Mishawaka will no longer be stopped by passing trains. INDOT has opened the railroad underpass at the "New Capital Avenue." Traffic has shifted to some of the newly completed lanes between Lincolnway and 12th Street.
"I think it's great," said Jack Parisey, who lives near the underpass. "Its been shutdown for a long time and they had people going every which way but the right one."
The road opened just before 2:00pm on Thursday. For now, only one lane in each direction will be open. Traffic will use what will be the northbound lanes for now. Crews are still working to complete the southbound lanes.
"While we're happy about [the underpass opening] and people are going to be moving on a lot safer. It's still a construction zone, so you need to be cautious like you would at any construction area," said Matt Dietchley, INDOT.
Most people were happy with the underpass finally opening, but businesses who used to have prime real estate right off of the old Capital Avenue are far from thrilled with this change. They say they were already lost business due to the constructions and now their customers will no longer have a direct route.
Some people who live in the neighborhood next door, share those same concerns about getting to their homes.
"I'm just concerned about going back and forth to work and coming in and out of this area to try and get from one place to the other," said Richard Williams. "It looks like its going to be a hard way to get in and out."
The entire expansion project is expected to be complete this fall. Parisey said he can hardly wait for all four lanes to open up.
"I'd be happy to have it done quick (laughs)," said Parisey.
Not all the businesses around the underpass are upset about the construction. The manager at Motel 6, near the intersection, says he is happy the underpass is open now because it makes it easier for customers to get to their motel.

From a bottle purchased in Belgium and consumed in America. On to the beer:
This bruin is dark brown like the color of chocolate. On top sits a creamy head which turns to a layer of creamish lace. The aroma smells yeasty with fennel and a kiss of fudge . Its soft taste is welcomed, brining to the table grapes, toast, figs. It's not a very complex one, however the way the overall flavor works is worth shouting about. Also worthy of a shoutout is the mouthfeel, which is medium bodied and very pleasantly bubbly, yet the beer itself remains like velvet, like it's a double layered beer. As is the case with many Belgian bruins, this is pleasant.

Served with a fine creamy off white to light tan head that lasts and lots of good lace. Very dark almost opaque walnut color. Aroma wasn't to impressive, just good and malty. Flavor is malty, roasty, slightly tart, a hint of cocoa and excellent! Killer body and the carbonation is perfect for this beer. Tiny bit chewy. No hint of alcohol. easy finish. Really drinkable.

Dark brown with a nice foamy head
Toasted Malts with some bready overtones. A slight sweetness
Taste: Crisp with strong toasted flavors. No bitterness at all, however the alcohol is noticeable and adds a spice to the mix. I would say nutty and a hint of dark-chocolate.
I nice Dubble.

I drank this from the bottle into a chalice in Brugges.
It pours a cola brown body with average carbonation and a thin off-white head.
Enjoyable malty aroma with fruits hints.
Well balanced taste that carries yeasty, toffee, and plummy notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish.

Small capped bottle poured into a goblet.
Dark brown, reddish highlights, a small but creamy and long lasting tan head. Not a lot of lacing.
Aroma is sweetish, fruity and yeasty. Body is rather thin, and flavors are understated too; yeasty, sweetish and malty, but dissipates in the mouth rather quickly.
Decent at best.

Sorry but this following comment is in french :
Appearance : Marron, limpide (sur lie), jolie chapeau beige clair serré et durable.
Smell : Nez doux bien malté, fraîchement aigrelet, fruité aux tons miellés.
Taste and mouthfeel : Saveur valant l'arôme, aigre-douce et bien maltée, aux tons boisés, corsée et très équilibrée, ni amère ni âcre. Plénitude savoureuse et fraîche.
Drinkability : une bonne bière dans le style dubbel

11.5 oz bottle, pours nearly black with a thin light tan head that leaves a bit of lacing. The smell is raisins and licorice, with a sharp note that I can't make my mind up about. Still, it makes my mouth water & I suppose that means it succeeded in its design. The taste is sweet up front, quickly dissolving to a dry carob-like taste. Again fruits and a pleasant nuttiness. Nice. There is a lot of tingle on the tongue but it isn't over-carbonated. The body holds it all together. Just about perfect, I'd say. The drinkability is very good, the sharp finish keeping it a hair shy of ideal but who's splitting those? All in all, a darn nice brew. Darker & more intense than I would expect in a dubbel but there's nothing wrong with that. :)

This beer pours a dark brown color with a big bubbled head and lots of carbonation.
Smell is mildly roasted with spicy notes of the Belgian yeast, covered with caramel and candy sugar. This is how a dubbel should smell.
Taste full of sweet caramel and spicy notes. The spice tastes like clove and maybe some cinnamon. The malt is somewhat sweet and sticky and bosy is medium to thin. A great dubbel, which is very drinkable and mild, yet full of character.

Sam's Downers Grove
Pater Lieven Bruin pours a dark murky garnet with small floating particles. A white head forms in my goblet and quickly falls to a swirling cap with thick edges. Little bubbling cauldrons form in random areas on the head.
Smells of copious amounts of doughy bread and brown sugar. Bing cherries and mild bittersweet chocolate are in the nose as well. There's a very pronounced sweetness from the brown sugar aroma.
Tastes much like the aroma. Very doughy with a nice complimentary brown sugar sweetness. Some dark fruits play a part too. There's figs and maybe plum, maybe not. I'm surprised at this but there is a really nice soft coffee bean flavor. Finishes with a mild coffee bitterness and tobacco leaf. Unique and tasty.
Medium bodied with a velvety creaminess. Moderate carbonation turns the body frothy on the swallow. Even though it's creamy there's a powdery, gritty mouthfeel that is enjoyable.
Unique flavors keep opening up as I go. Makes me want to keep drinking.
I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. I'm glad I could find this and will be going back when I'm in the mood for a good dubbel at a good price.

335 ml from Belgian Shop. From the onset, an underrated Belgian, not much of a lasting head bt straight brown colour, aroma has licorice, fruit, sweeet malt and lots of yummy sweet yeast. Medium plus mouthfeel, like a milkshake, a bit aggressive carbonation as its fresh. Satisfying.

Pours a sincerely deep brown hue, looks almost black until held up to a light where some red tones shine through. The crown on this beer is tan, huge and long-lasting. Aromas of richly roasted and burnt malts are dominant with some subtle hints of dark fruit. Burnt caramel and bitter chocolate flavors, coffee and figy dark dried fruits, nice complexity and almost like a stout, some lingering brown sugar and milk chocolate sweetness in the finish. Medium bodied and lots of carbonation with a clean dry finish. Nicely done for a dubbel, this is almost a belgian stout.

I got this as a single at Union Jack's on the Manatawny. Date on the bottle says "best before end 2002. I'm reviewing this as an aged beer, because it's damn tasty. Poured it off the dregs on the bottom into a Kasteel glass.
Pours a slightly hazy deep mahogany with brown tints. A slight head of beige foam forms on top, then quickly drops. No lacing observed on the glass. Carbonation level looks high.
Aroma is very strong dark fruits like plums and prunes, very estery and caramel-y; smells inviting. Nothing in the way of hops, which is correct. Dark, slightly moldy cherries. Pleasant. As it warms up, you can also detect alcohol.
Flavor is huge caramel-y fruity malt and molasses. Plums, prunes, dates, cherries, all on the sweet side, and kind of cooked down.. Alcohol is definitely there. This beer is very yummy, especially considering its age. Aftertaste is of dark, dried fruit.
Mouthfeel is highly effervescent, but sweet. The finish is amazingly dry for all the sweetness.
I would absolutely buy this again. I'd like to try it newer, but for 3 years old, it's fantastic. Held up very well over the years.

Poured out of a bottle into a chalice glass, slight murky brown. Very lively carbonation. Perhaps a little too lively. Taste is heavy on dark fruits, candy/brown sugar, plums, figs, slight almost dessert like finish. Needed to allow some of the carbonation to dissipate to make it a drinkable beer. A great one to try and I'd probably go back again.

From a 33 cl bottle shipped directly from Brussels. Drinking out of a "Chimay" wide-mouth glass.
Had not tried this beer before, but it came highly recommended from Beermania's owner (who knows his stuff). It pours a little on the light or thin side -- very little head to speak of, and just a faint smell (a hint of chocolate). Truth be told, at this point, I wasn't optimistic. But what a taste! Very full, it reminds me of Chimay Gran Reserve, but with a bit more "burnt" taste at the end, and less of an alcohol tang. I would have like a creamier feel, but there's nothing to argue with here. Aftertaste is minimal, with that roasted hint. A sip easily leads to another, and might leave you wishing it came in a 750 ml bottle instead!
I'm drinking it on its own, as the flavor can sustain itself. Not sure I'd like it so much with food. All around, a very pleasant, drinkable beer.

Appearance: a solid brown body, under a mountainous, creamy tan head, slow to settle, and leaving lace.
Aroma: cola, nuts, rum, cream.
Taste: a flood of flavor on first sip, a great wash over the tastebuds, rich, luscious, delicious, and warm. ABV is not given, but feels a touch strong.
Body is full, finish is long-lasting, tasty, nutty.
A fruitiness emerges around the middle and lasts until the end.
One drawback is that it feels a bit...*BURP!*...high on carbonation, perhaps?
Feels a bit like an abbey dubbel, one of my favorite styles, without quite reaching the total flavor and complexity.

Kuro For Death Note
We feel that Kuro-Hana should only focus on the anime Death Note, because: 1) The fans of Death Note can't wait for the slower subgroups. 2) The ammount of staff Kuro has is not big enough for 2 projects. 3) The quality of Kuro's subs is not big enough for an anime like Detective Conan and should be left with the better quality subgroups like Kaizou and Hari-no-Ito. 4) The ammount of people willing to download a Kuro Death Note episode on the same day after the raw release is approximatly 60,000 people, as opposed to a new Conan release which is 3,000 at most. 5) The group's name and reputation suits Death Note better than any other anime.
