Forecast for 2014: More road construction
David Phillips
, Bluff Country Newspaper Group
Tuesday, December 31, 2013 2:32 AM
Road construction was a familiar sight in Fillmore and Houston counties in 2013 and that trend will continue in 2014, although the miles of road affected will be fewer.
Even though the roads under construction will be reduced, there are several significant projects that will have an impact on Rushford, Harmony and Lanesboro as well as commuters from Spring Valley to Rochester.
The local projects are part of the Minnesota 20-year State Highway Investment Plan, which has been finalized and is available online, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. MnSHIP connects the Minnesota GO 50-year vision and policies established in the Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan to capital improvements on the state highway system.
The 10-year work plan, which runs through 2020, shows several local projects in District 6, one of eight districts of MnDOT.
2014 projects
Most of the area projects on the plan are scheduled for 2014. They include the following.
Two bridges - 3686 and 3687 - on Highway 16 just west of Lanesboro at a cost of $1.38 million.
Highway 43 from the south junction with Highway 16 to the Root River bridge in Rushford, a 1.2-mile stretch, at a cost of $3.14 million, will be reconstructed. Municipal improvements in Rushford will also be part of that project.
Highway 52 from the Iowa state line to 0.1 mile north of County 22 will get a medium bituminous mill and overlay. The cost of the 10-mile stretch, which runs through Canton and to Harmony, is $2.99 million.
Highway 63 from the T intersection with Highway 16 west of Spring Valley to the south end of the Root River bridge in Stewartville is also scheduled. The bituminous mill and overlay of 10.4 miles will include left turn lanes at County 2 north of Deer Creek and County 1 in Racine. Total cost is $4.34 million.
Houston County's only project is Highway 26 from the Iowa line to Highway 16 in eastern Houston County. The 21.1-mile bituminous overlay project will cost $5.83 million.
Winona County's only project is Interstate 90 eastbound from 0.8 miles west of Highway 76 to 0.69 miles west of the County 12 overpass. The 8.4-mile concrete overlay project will cost $9.28 million.
2015 projects
The only project in Houston and Fillmore counties scheduled for 2015 is replacing bridge 5720 near Brownsville in Houston County at a cost of $1.25 million.
An area project that will affect commuters is a bituminous overlay on Highway 63 from 0.1 mile north of Highway 30 in Stewartville to 28th Street Southeast in Rochester. Also scheduled is an interchange reconstruction of Highway 63 and County 16 for airport access improvement at the Rochester Airport.
Also, 12.2 miles of Interstate 90 from the western part of Winona County into Olmsted County will get a concrete overlay.
2016 projects
Construction moves a little closer to our area in 2016 when bridge 6975 over the south branch of the Root River and bridge 6977 over the north branch near Lanesboro on Highway 250 will be replaced. Total cost is $6.74 million.
That is the only area project in the district, which only has six total projects in 2016.
2017 projects
Major construction returns in 2017 when 3.9 miles of Highway 139 from the Iowa border to the intersection with Highway 52 in Harmony will have a bituminous overlay. Cost is $1.46 million.
Also, three miles of Highway 16 south of La Crescent will get an overlay.
2018 projects
A major project in the area is an overlay on Highway 52 from 0.1 mile north of County 5 in Chatfield to 0.2 miles south of Interstate 90.
2019 projects
Highway 16 from Tracy Road in Spring Valley west to Interstate 90 will get an overlay. The 12.3-mile project will cost $6.11 million.
Also, just north of Stewartville, the northbound bridge on Highway 63 over Interstate 90 will be replaced.
2020 projects
Box culvert 6123 over a stream on Highway 52 just south of Chatfield will be replaced at a cost of $180,096.
Also, just north of Stewartville, another bridge over I-90 will be replaced.
Overall plan
"This plan is the result of extensive collaboration among MnDOT, residents, stakeholders and partners throughout Minnesota," said Charlie Zelle, MnDOT commissioner. "The success of Minnesota's transportation system depends on the coordinated efforts of many public and private providers. The investment priorities outlined in MnSHIP provide a framework for MnDOT's contribution to those efforts."
MnSHIP establishes priorities for spending projected capital revenue on the state highway system, a 12,000-mile network that plays a critical role in supporting the state's economy and quality of life. MnSHIP is a fiscally constrained plan, meaning its planned expenditures must align with expected revenues, which total $18 billion. Meanwhile, projected transportation needs on the state highway system during the next 20 years total $30 billion.
MnDOT considers many factors when setting priorities, including federal and state law, system conditions and public input. Priorities for the next 10 years balance preservation of existing roads and bridges with investments in safety, new connections for multiple modes of transportation, and other projects that advance economic development and quality of life objectives. Investments in the second 10 years focus almost exclusively on preserving existing infrastructure. Even with this focus, the number of roads and bridges in poor condition will more than double, and perhaps triple, within 20 years.
"The investment priorities in MnSHIP illustrate the increasing constraints on highway planning in Minnesota. Growth in construction costs continues to outpace growth in revenue and, as the highway system ages, needs are increasing," Zelle said. "In particular, investments in the second 10 years do not address many system needs."
MnSHIP also outlines the targeted actions and strategies MnDOT will pursue to stretch available revenue and how MnDOT will seek to leverage available revenues to achieve multiple purposes.
To view the final plan, visit the MnSHIP website at mndot.gov/planning/mnship/.

Conrad died on September 4, 2010, at 86. For me it felt like
the end of an era in daily American newspaper editorial cartooning,
and possibly the conclusion to a noble lineage that extended back
to Thomas Nast.
Elephants and donkeys in political cartoons by
Thomas Nast in 1874 (left) and Paul Conrad in
I knew Paul
Conrad when we both worked at the Los Angeles Times, his
base of operation for 30 years. We'd first run into each other in
the afternoons, in the paper's engraving department area, where he
would hand-deliver his artwork for the next day's edition. After
that, it was in his editorial department office. And later, when
engravers were out and scanning machines were in, at his Rancho
Palos Verdes home.
Paul Conrad spun this
cartoon of Richard Nixon in 1972.
Like countless other admirers, I'd considered Paul a giant in
more than just physical stature. Still do. Yes, he was a three-time
Pulitzer Prize recipient. But by the time we met he'd earned an
even greater honor, unique to his profession: a spot on Nixon's
1973 "enemies"
I was a long-standing fan of the art of graphic critique from my
youngest days. I'd first come across Bill Mauldin's one-panel portraits of
Willie and Joe in my teen years. These WWII G.I.s were foot
soldiers for democracy, serving and surviving in the trenches and
roughly rendered in charcoal and ink. And they revealed to me how
powerfully political perspectives can be expressed with tremendous
warmth and humanity. From there it was an easy leap further back to
the radical Masses
magazine of the 1910s, with legends such as Robert Minor, who
expressed even grittier perspectives on war and life.
(From left) Bill Mauldin, Time
cover, 1945; Robert Minor, The
Masses cover, 1915; Robert Minor, The
Masses cartoon, 1916.
And eventually, and inevitably, my journey took me to the latter
half of the 19th century. Thomas Nast was the
great Republican granddad of political cartooning. He's best
remembered for his Harper's Weekly attacks, relentless and
merciless—very much like Paul Conrad's—on the evils of New York
Tammany Hall Democrat "Boss" Tweed, the Rod Blagojevich of his day.
But Nast also deserves a great deal of respect for those other
Weekly illustrations, Mauldin–like in their compassion, that
played a pivotal role in a Civil War victory for the North, and for
the reelection of President Lincoln.
"Compromise with the
South," an 1864 political cartoon by Thomas Nast in Harper's
Mauldin stopped cartooning in 1991. He departed this world in
2003. Five years later Fantagraphics gave Willie and Joe
a deluxe, two-volume book treatment. And just a few months ago
he and his infantrymen found their way onto a first-class
U.S. postage stamp.
In 1993, as the Times went about divesting itself of
progressive values, Conrad departed. Yet he remained fearless in
syndication well into his final years, targeting Clinton, Bush and
Palin with the same fervor he'd shown the likes of Johnson, Nixon
and Reagan.
Conrad cartoons of Sarah Palin
in 2008 (left) and George
W. Bush in 2004.
Among Mauldin and Conrad's contemporaries, very few have come
close to matching their creative heights, much less their legacies.
As I cautioned readers in the forward to The Education of a Comics Artist, "our daily illustrated
elephant and donkey show needs to choose between full reinvention
or extinction."
I continue to keep a watchful eye on all aspects of the field
I've loved for a lifetime. And so, when Daryl Cagle posted a link on Facebook to
what he considered a "funny conservative cartoon," I clicked, with
the hope of enjoying a laugh along with the right wing. Instead I
was confronted with
a six-panel sequence that simply consisted of a donkey chastising
"Americans" for rejecting Democrats and their supposed values.
The punchline? "I just don't know why Americans are opposed to
In the brief moment it took me to absorb the content, several
thoughts crossed my mind:
But I know you're still out there, political cartooning: I can
hear people complaining. It's just what's not being
complained about that so often disturbs me.
Of course, there were
Jylland-Posten's 2005 Muhammed cartoons. Naturally, and rightly
so, everyone's primary focus was on the tragic consequences: death
threats and actual deaths. But very little consideration was paid
to the cause: a newspaper that would decide to commission
cartoonists to set themselves up as moving targets in a real-life
shooting gallery.
Barry Blitt's fist-bumping Obamas for
The New Yorker, 2008 (left);
August 29 cartoon of a bullet-ridden Mexican flag by Daryl
Cagle, MSNBC.com.
And then there was the New Yorker's 2008
"Politics of Fear" cover. Most of the discussion revolved
around whether or not the magazine should have portrayed the Obamas
as "anti-American"—yes, there's that sentiment
again—revolutionaries. Mostly overlooked was any sort of serious
design criticism. Barry Blitt's pretty, flowery wash rendering
would have worked very well as an inside illustration that
accompanied a feature on election-year smear tactics. I know,
Eustace Tilley doesn't swing that way, but still… As standalone
visual commentary on such street-level gutter sniping, a Gary
Panter–ish ratty-line graffiti scrawl approach would have
worked much, much better.
And just a few weeks ago, Daryl Cagle himself caused an
international incident, angering many for having "desecrated"
the Mexican flag with bullet holes. I was personally offended,
as well... but only because his cartoon was just so lame. Rather
than express a substantive opinion, it merely sought to state,
"Hey, aren't these drug-war deaths just terrible for that country?"
Uh, I guess.
Recent cartoons by Mr. Fish portray General
Petraeus (left) and oil-covered
Still, I haven't fully despaired that my beloved and noble
profession will follow the daily newspaper into oblivion. For many
years, a cat by the name of Mr. Fish has been doing his part
to reinvigorate the medium. More than once a week he utilizes a
wide array of creative graphic approaches to deliver thoughtful,
witty, take-no-prisoners commentary. And he can currently be found
plying his trade at truthdig.com and Harper's.
You remember Harper's. It used to publish that Nast
fella, once upon a time.
Comics have always been an unruly medium. Dooley reins in Paul Buhle, editor and author of some of the genre's most radical.

Wonderful scenery.Greetings from Turkey.
Wonderful scenery.İt takes very long distance from my country. At the other side of the world. Greetings from Turkey.
Dear Colin
Thanks for your Kind comment!
hi my name is Corey Heard and i am pretty sure it was one of my distant relatives that discovered this island. the little hut that is on it was from the people that went there after he did.
I guess it's a freshwater lake but it's not easy and sometimes dangerous to climb down to the lake.
I love these remote corners of the world
lost mood ....L
Muito bonito, parabéns pela bela foto! Like!
Dear Alejandro
You are right. Big Ben is an active volcano.

Very drinkable leafy minty IPA, citrusy and there are hop oils. 100 IBU takes a first sip or two to get used to.Regular sized bottle, which is not enough, thanks Piscator. Great example of a DIPA.
Good cask, had 3 years later at Volo. VG aromas, IBU in taste, smooth drinker without a palate erasing effect.

Thanks to drewone for sharing this one at jmgrub's tasting.
Pours a clear dark orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt and dank earthy and herbal hop aromas. Taste is much the same with an alcohol kick and a high amount of herbal hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer but it's quite herbal and dank.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep amber color ale with a rather larger frothy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit hops with nice caramel malt backbone. Taste is not bitter at all but more dominated by citrus and grapefruit notes with some light piney notes as well with a huge caramel malt backbone. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Very good execution of a West Coast style IIPA.

12oz bottle, with a weird but strangely attractive thin green wax coating around the cap, which is actually a might bit frustrating to remove with a standard bottle-opener without getting wayward flaky detritus everywhere.
This beer pours a clear medium orange-brick amber hue, with two fingers or so of puffy, rocky, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some stellar honeycombed and webbed lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of sweet, pungently citrusy fruit - orange, pineapple, lemon and kiwi - with some tangy pine hop essence fighting for floor space in there too, over top a sticky caramel and toffee maltiness, all well cared for by a soft boozy warmth. The taste is a strong bittersweet blend of bready, toffee-heavy caramel malt, sugary citrus cream, heady grass, and edgy pine and spruce hops. The big ABV does well to keep its head down at this juncture.
The carbonation is on the soft side, never really making any sort of mark, the body a slickly capable medium-full weight for the style, and perhaps a bit oily in its smoothness, with a simmering warm creaminess. It finishes well off-dry, the caramel and toffee in for the long haul, and the hops maintaining a sort of to hell with it all, uber fruity/bitter pose.
A wonderfully challenging Canadian DIPA. Not a West Coast palate-searing hop bomb, despite the egregiously advertised 100 IBU, nor a malty compromise in deference to the British, but a lovely balanced affair of all things in the extreme. On par with my local DIPA, Alley Kat's Bad Hare Day, but with perhaps more than a wee bit more ooomph in overall flavour intensity. Canada's best - bring it on, y'all consigned to south of the 49th!

Thanks to papat444 for this one. Green waxed bottle, served in a pint glass.
A - Most opaque light brown with orange-gold highlights. Two fingers of slightly tanned off-white head. Decent retention to a solid cap and ring, with tons of sticky lacing.
S - This one is a little faded - guessing it is from the mid-September batch. Still, there was a good mix of peach and tropical Simcoe, soapy Cascade, and citrus Centennial. There's also a hefty dose of sharp pine and Alpine-style sugary dough as a malt backbone.
T - The taste is definitely less pine-oriented, with all the sweet flavors taking center stage. Thankfully no soap either. I can't believe this was 100 IBU, as the bitterness is quite mild - there must have been a hefty malt bill, even when this was fresh.
M - Slight soft carbonation tingle, light-medium body. Drinks more like an IPA than a DIPA. Wish there was more bitterness as well.
D - Even at 3 months old and with a few flaws, this is still an enjoyable brew that I could drink frequently. Glad that Canadians are starting to brew solid hoppy brews - now if only the distribution could improve so that we could try them fresh without living next to the brewery.

Half Pints Humulus Ludicrous, 22 oz bomberator, 100 IBU, 8% abv.
I like these guys. My kind of brewery. Let's see what we've got here, already.
I'm pouring this into my Big Ass Triple Karmeliet glass, just for fun.
Smells great pouring it out...wow! But I'm out of turn here....
Gorgeous amber/crimson coloring, with an ample crown of fluffy off-white foam. Very nice.
But that aroma! Ah, this is the stuff! Lovely, arresting, stimulating, full of fresh fruit, grapefruit peel , pithy peach pits, orange rinds, pine needles, lemon zest, and a squirt of lime...bubbling over with hops, fresh and vibrant, everything this hophead desires.
Drinking it: flush, plump, and juicy. Fits the bill for a tasty Double IPA, doesn't skimp, doesn't skirt, just delivers. Fullish mouthfeel, floods the mouth with bitterness, and some sweet fruit flavor, bright as it is bitter. Twist of bitter citrus with prickly piney flavor holds true to the classic parameters of the style, and then some. Very well constructed, excellent composure and balance. There's no hop overload, if you know how to handle it, plenty of malty balance, allowing the hop hoppitude to command without any overkill.
Overall, an indulgent, hopalicous treat, great as a nightcap, which is how I'm enjoying it tonight. They went to great lengths to make this, using a hopback finish and plenty of dry-hopping. I didn't have the stinky bleu cheese or insanely spicy curry (if I dared), or the HAlf Pints tulip glass (come on, Dave, you need my address?)...but enjoyed it was...gorgeous stuff, a hoplovers wet dream, without the alcohol sticking out much. Great job, Dave!
And thanks to oakbluff (scott) for bringing it down for me from Winnipeg!

Humulus Ludicrous is much darker than I had anticipated; its muddied, grubby, frankly dirty appearance is exacerbated by the fact that it has virtually no head (less you count the ultra-thin, fleecy ring of lace churned from swirling). The turbid, opaque complexion helps none but the colour itself has the bad luck of just looking boggy and unattractive.
The aroma, fortunately, is a whole lot of wonderful. The extra colour corresponds to a healthy amount of malts which, provided you're not one who insists their hop bombs must showcase strictly nothing but hops, is immensely appealing. Toffee, dates, nuts and toasty bread do a fine job supporting the leafy, bitter, resiny, earthy hoppiness.
And I should disclose that, upon first smelling the beer, and for the ensuing five minutes or so when I would smell it again and again without break or interruption, my mouth grew a long smile and my senses became blissfully sedated. Tasting it is even better. Dark caramel, nut butters, grapefruit pith, orange peel, citrus extract and pine are all flavours I enjoy.
Centennial and Cascade hops are never capable of doing wrong in my books - they're like the colour black, they go with just about anything. And while this is advertised as a DIPA it strikes me almost as a Barleywine. While I don't mind quaffing it, I'm equally tempted to try my luck with the cellar and break a bottle out only on those special occasions.
The brewery may be called "Half Pints" but there's nothing little about this one. When the brewery says they're giving you 100 IBUs you bet that they're delivering on each and every last one of them. Curiously, however, it seems as though I've been shortchanged on the 8% alcohol (not that I mind, on the contrary, I'm most appreciative of it).
Humulus Ludicrous is indeed ludicrous. In fact, this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. It has enough hops that you'll need a knife to cut through 'em and enough maltiness that it could coat the back of a spoon. I wish I didn't have to finish this bottle, I wish my glass could just stay full all day. If there's one beer in Canada I have to seek out again, this is it.

A Canadian American Double IPA, eh? Don't think I've ever had one from the Northern guys. Let's see what we got here...yowza! Nice looking rusty, ruby pour. Slight hazed. Rocky head, chunks. Good use a bit more lacing though. Oh well.
Good aroma of hops; pine, citrus, herbal. Some light breadiness. Doesn't have that sting that some DIPAs have. I kinda like it this way.
The flavor is a good mix of the hops characteristics mentioned in the nose. Starts with a citrus hops bite, then leads to an herbal with pine coming in for a roundhouse wallop. NOt as extreme as thought at first. It's missing that syrupy feel I get from most DIPAs, and that's good.

Poured from the bomber sized bottle into a tulip pint glass. MY FIRST HALF PINTS!! I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!
Great shining brass dark amber body, and crystal clear. Head is white, but incredibly sudsy and shampoo like in appearance. Four fingers off the pour but still manages to sit around, little lacing, what is is spotted and scattered thin.
Nose is ripping mix of earth hops first, faint light airy soil. Lingering smoky pine as well, with a nice malt and toasted brown sugar backbone. Solid, it's a DIPA and it's going good so far.
Palate hits with a big malt sweetness and rich hops. Thick body, a bit sugar syrupy though, but the earth component hits like crazy. Huge MINTY finish on this beer, and herbal mint sweetness going on. Little carbonation, through this thick and seriously coating body. Faint prickly sense and incredibly tight and small.
Overall a real good solid DIPA and I love this mint finish on this. Not too boozy either. Well friggin done, would love to have this again easily.

Big thanks to oakbluff for sending these out my way and for Harry for being the middle man. Teamwork!
Pours a clear orange/amber, brilliant colour, thick white head, tons of lacing, great retention, looks great. Smell is badass, sweet, caramel malts, pine, grapefruit and orange peel, alcohol, bread, big hops, nice floral finish, perfect balance. Taste is tons of floral hops, caramel, pine and grapefruit, bread, citrus, nice spicy bitterness, alcohol is very well hidden. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation, very smooth. Easily best Canadian made DIPA, insanely drinkable, very well done, my hat off to you Dave. Thanks again Scott!

Big thanks to Zithal for breaking this out at the Biergotter group brewday 2007. Thanks Rob!
This one was fairly clear and coppery orange in colour with fine whitish foam. As the head reduced to a ring, sticky and spotty lacing was left behind. The aroma was that of a true hop bomb - lots of orange and tangerine with some pine and light alcohol in the background. Bitterness was strong without being aggressive, with lots of citrusy hops and mild warmth, plus a pine resin finish. Malt was pushed far into the background. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and some dryness. Good stuff. A bit more malt would balance it out more, but who am I to complain when a Canadian brewery is making a beer this hoppy. Kudos to Half Pints!

Bottle courtesy of TheSevenDuffs via an unsolicited box! 341ml into a pint glass, thanks a ton Marcus. No best before date.
Tried to pour this pretty aggressively, still only came out with about a half finger of thin bubbly and white head. More appears with a bit of a swirl. Slightly hazy and golden orange body, some splotchy lace. Loads of orange, tangerine and pine, with some other citrus notes in the nose here too. Yummy. Taste is completely contrary to anything I could've expected, very forward and heavy on the malt and its the first thing to hit the tongue. Smooth and coating, with some sweet caramel here, and minimal hoppiness. Slightest touch of citrus and an some bitterness shows up at the end, but doesn't last too long. Drinkability is quite nice, this goes down real quick. Couldn't find the alcohol in here even if I tried. Quite good stuff here, nice enjoyable and malty DIPA.

341ml bottle dipped in green wax poured into 400ml dab glass sept21 2009
A Slightly cloudy copper color with decent one finger head that leaves some nice lace. Pretty nice looking beer if I ignore the bits of green wax on top of the foam.
S Smelling the bottle I get nothing but wax, the glass gives off some grapefruit, pine, some mild caramel and malt. The 8%alcohol is nowhere too be found.
T As it smells but no caramel and I pick up even more citrus and maybe some bread? The booze is there but it's pretty mild.
M mild carbonation dose well with the texture of this beer no knife and fork needed but not thin either.
D Some bite too it but I expect that at 100 ibu's
Pretty happy with this one, it appears that the little scrapper has an angry older brother. No real complaints with this one other then the 50$ for 12 341ml bottles

Courtesy of kjyost.
Poured in to Duvel tulip. Waxes top was cool.
A - A nice dark amber/orange colour with half a finger of thick creamy head. Hazy with sediment floating around.
S - Juicy earthy and citrus hops. Some nice bitterness comes through but a very sweet caramel malt backbone cuts through the bitterness. Overall the nose is more malt forward.
T - Very sweet caramel malts dominate the palate. There is a nice bitterness from the hops and some earthy notes but overall the hops provide bitterness and not a lot of flavour. The bitterness lingers in the finish.
M - Medium body, nice chew, moderate carbonation.
D - A nice DIPA but a little too malty for me.

I've had this beer a few times before and it's always been good. This is the freshest bottle I've ever been able to get my hands on thanks to kjyost who picked it up on the release day in Winnipeg so it can't be more than 3 weeks to a month old. The new labels are pretty sweet too.
A - Pours a dark copper with good carbonation. One finger beige head is very fluffy and thick. Bright. Good rings of lacing and a film hanging out after a while. Holds up well.
S - Tons of strong pine backed up with a strong caramel backbone. Citrus is there as well, but the aroma is definately coated with a pine sap type aroma.
T - Oh ya. Reminds me alot of the better DIPAs I had in Denmark. Tons of malty caramel and bread smashed together with intense amount of piney hop and citrus, but not typical grapefruit/pine. Interesting.
M - Very full body. Thick and syrupy with an obvious chew. Scraping bitterness leaves your mouth dry and wanting more.
O/D - Wow. Definately one of the better DIPAs to come out of Canada and it could probably hold it's own against alot of world-class ones. Excellently crafted and developed well with extremely high drinkability.

Finally this shows up in BC and well worth the watit indeed. A 12 oz bottle with wax on top ( I hate wax but it looks cool). This is a worldclass Impy IPA with all the huge PNW hops you would expect coupled with a real sense of balance and drinkability( I had the Total Eclipse of The Hop by Howe Sound right before and that was an uneven beer that paled besides Half Pints offering). Even at $6 a small bottle this is worth trying and realizing that Canada produces some of the best beers in the world

Thanks to UncleJedi for hooking me up with a bottle of this in my Secret Santa box. After having this beer at the brewery it was nice to get another shot at it.
A-Orange-golden highlighted copper with a medium off-white head. Head had good retention and reduced to a thin cap and left nicely ringing lace..
S-A touch faded as this was about 4 months old at the time of drinking. Still a nice dose of tropical fruit, peach citrus rind and a touch of pine. Caramel malt sweetness is a bit more pronounced with this one.
T-Still a tropical, orange rind, grapefruit kick in the teeth...but a little less so than previously. Malt backbone becoming more noticeable but not a real detractor.
M-Medium body with good lingering bitterness and a lovely smooth feel.
D-Still a well done brew for sure but four months out and it is starting to lose it's hop pop. As with most of these brews they are always best when imbibed FRESH! I am glad I had the opportunity to revisit this beer again though!

I've wanted to try Humulus Ludicrous for a while, so huge thanks to BigBry for this bottle that he gave to me when he passed through Toronto last week. It certainly looks classy with its waxed top, and cleanly designed label. This is the first time I've seen waxing on a style of beer you wouldn't usually keep, so I presume its more for aesthetic reasons than cellaring ones. Wax is a cute idea, but its a pain in the ass when you're trying to open the bottle and then pour without getting fragments in the glass.
Anyway, this beer pours a rich amber with a large fluffy cream coloured head, that moved more towards yellow as it died down. Very good retention and nice drapes of lace left here and there round off a pleasing appearance for an imperial IPA. The aroma really comes alive as it warms. At first I can only detect a mil mix of citrus, but with time this bursts apart, and tangerine, candied grapefruit peel, mango, orange and lemon zest and light pine all become apparent. Its sweet, hoppy and moreish.
The flavour has me wishing I could award a 3.75, but I can't, so I'm forced to defer to the lower score. Lots of juicy fruit, with mango and peach coming to the fore. On top of this are all the citrus elements observed in the nose, with the tangerine proving to be the most prominent feature. It certainly has the advertised bitterness, but seems to lack a sustained hop bite in the finish, and fails to sustain a lasting good impression beyond the sip. So while it certainly has the 100 IBUs it advertises on the bottle, it does seem to come across more as a regular IPA than an imperial. Every now and then a hint of stewed vegetable joins the fray, and this is a huge distraction for me, and the one thing that really beats this beer down.
One element that Half Pints have nailed is the mouthfeel. Its luscious, full and creamy, and just short of perfection. This helps contribute to excellent drinkability, and the glass is empty before I know it.
Overall, the peripherals of this beer are outstanding, and the flavour itself is fairly good. There are a few off-notes that prevent it from reaching the top tier for the style, and it drinks more like an IPA and a half. There's no doubt, though, that if I lived in the Prairies this would be a beer I'd drink with relish.

A - Pours a nice copper colour, solid finger of head with decent retention (couple minutes), leaving some fine sticky lacing throughout. Little carbonation noticeable on the body.
S - Scent is strong soapy hops, cedar and pine, sweet lemon iced tea and a light caramel finish.
T - Much like the scent, soapy cedar and pine hops, finish is bitter but not overly dry. Some woody caramels come through and linger on the finish, and the higher ABV is well hidden.
M - A nice smooth oily texture, medium bodied and not overly dry. Very nice mouthfeel.
D - Overall a very tasty DIPA and well worth the cost. Highly recommended to any hop fan and a great example of a stellar DIPA. Yet again, Half Pints comes through with a strong performance. I will be purchasing this one again.

From a 341 ml brown bottle, bought as a single. Green beeswax around cap and neck (it smells good!), 100 IBU's listed on the label.
Already aromatic once the cap is removed and poured into the glass. A cloudy deep amber in appearance, short tight creamy off-white head.
Once again the nose is incredibly aromatic, some sugary sweet malt, burnt toasted notes, pine and grapefruit rind, all of it beautifully wedded together.
That marriage continues evenly within the flavour, sweet, toasted mildly bready malt that effortlessly blends with grassy, herbal, earthy, citrus rind hops, almost equally as sweet on the finish, with the hops eventually lingering on longer in the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is medium-bodied in general, yet seems to come across as surprisingly thin for such a robust ale, very light carbonation.
I like this double IPA a lot, well done, and is getting up there with Dogfish Head's 90 Minute in my books, very well balanced and refined, hardly an obnoxious out of control behemoth. Half Pints is setting the bar with this one.

Grant and Susan in South America
We arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina by air from Cape Town at the end of November, 1997. We drove south from Buenos Aires to Rio Gallegos, 2600 km of nothing - scrub brush followed by more scrub brush, thousands of kilometers of it. Patagonia is endlessly flat, occasionally punctuated by a gully or a small hill. Not a recommended ride, but we weren't really doing it for the scenery. Our destination was Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, and the end of the road in South America. We arrived in Ushuaia just before Christmas, and encountered a small but hardy band of like-minded motorcyclists, many of whom had driven down from Alaska (the rest, like us, were driving up).
Christmas Eve, 1997 - Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina - furthest south you can drive - note the snow on the mountains - this is mid-summer!
Our Christmas present to ourselves was very extravagant - a trip to Antarctica aboard a small cruise ship. We felt better about the price (US$2,300 each) when we considered it would have been twice as much if we had booked from North America.
After a fantastic but too short stay there (long enough to shoot 45 rolls of slide film (Grant) and 15 rolls of print film (Susan) on the penguins, seals and glaciers), it was time to head north - the only possible direction from Ushuaia.
We appreciated the variety of scenery in Chile, from the glaciers and wildlife in Torres del Paine National Park in the south to the Atacama Desert in the north, and the fact that it was considerably cheaper than Argentina was a bonus.
Osorno, southern Chile
Peru was even less expensive, but as we headed north we ran into the effects of El Niño, which had caused widespread flooding in central and northern Peru. From flooded roads and detours to destroyed roads and washed out bridges, the "easy" Pan American Highway was more of a challenge than we could ever have anticipated.
PanAmerican Highway, north of Trujillo, Peru.
Crowd around bike after its bath in the PanAmerican river!
We were taking so long to cover short distances, that by the time we arrived in Trujillo in northern Peru, we had run out of time, a new concept for us.
Susan had committed to a contract for the following week back in Canada, so she headed for the airport while Grant continued north through Ecuador - and more of El Nino's effects - into Colombia, finishing South America in Bogota. He and Max had some amazing adventures on the last stretch, while Susan worked and worried about him until he arrived back in North America in mid April, 1998.

CT Breach Notification Case Proves HITECH's Worth
Editor's note: Senior editor Dom Nicastro covers the government health information data regulations for HealthLeaders Media and its parent company, HCPro, Inc. In a guest column this week, he writes about how the HITECH act is impacting state-level HIPAA compliance.
HITECH brings to light how much of a better job the healthcare industry must do to protect the privacy of its patients. Take one look at the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) breach notification website—you'll find 166 reasons why this is true.
That website is great to have: It is a public list where healthcare organizations can share lessons learned, analyze numbers and trends, and get a good look at which facilities are making big mistakes, some of which affect millions of patients.
But what's the real take-home when Congress writes a law like HITECH? A law that revamps the HIPAA privacy rules, calls for increased penalties and public scrutiny for violations, and extends the legal power of state attorneys to pursue cases for violators?
Is the goal to instill fear of non-compliance? Is it nabbing a posterchild such as Rite Aid, which paid $1 million to settle potential HIPAA violations? Is it keeping entities on their toes for the HITECH-required periodic audits?
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Psychiatric Times Explores why Psychiatry Needs the Humanities
NORWALK, Conn., April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that a newly published special report in Psychiatric Times — the nation's best-read psychiatric publication — delves into how literature, art and other offerings in the humanities can counter reductionism and help psychiatrists uncover each patient's subjectivity and individuality.
The four articles in the Special Report focus on:
- Psychiatry and Art: A Means for Healing and Fighting Stigma. Art allows for critical distance, retrospection, and vast opportunities for individual choice and, thus, may be conducive to an improved self-image and self-esteem.
- Religion, Spirituality, and Psychiatry: Spiritual Assessment and Clinical Care: Why there is a growing trend in favor of addressing spiritual and religious issues in psychiatric care.
- The Humanities and Psychiatry: The Rebirth of Mind: The author writes that science alone cannot answer the question of what it means to be human. He explores the battle for psychiatric knowledge and outlines the dramatic story of the clash of the psychiatric titans.
- Shakespeare and Psychiatry: A Personal Meditation: Hamlet goes under the microscope here: was his insanity real or feigned?

He was my great uncle. The town of WESLACO was named for W. E. Stewart, La for land, and Co for company. He was my grandfather, Fred William Stewart's, brother. He was the son of Edna Victoria Jackson 1852 - 1925, and Thomas William Stewart, 1850-1903. You will find him and his wife, Leila, in the 1910 census Justice Precinct 3 Hildalgo, Texas. My mother was born in Bryan's Mill, Texas where there were many Stewarts. Also, some lived in Atlanta and Naples, Texas. You will find the family in my tree--Smart Family Tree in ancestry.com. My mother said that her Aunt Leila was a lovely lady. I believe that his ancestor John R. Stewart landed on our country's shores in 1775 at the age of 5 from Scotland. As to who John's father was seems to me still is a mystery. Hope this helps.

The Pac-12 got a little crazy last week as UCLA lost to USC, Oregon lost to both Stanford and Cal, ASU lost to Washington and Arizona swept both Washington schools. The results leave Oregon and Arizona tied for first place (however, Oregon effectively has the tie breaker because Oregon beat Arizona in the head-to-head) while UCLA and Arizona State now trail by one game. Here is a look at these teams' remaining difficult games.
Oregon: 3
Oregon saw how important Dominic Artis is to their team–without him, they lost to two subpar teams in the Pac-12. One could argue that every game remaining on the Ducks' schedule will be difficult in his absence. With or without Artis, however, we can safely say that this week's game against Colorado at home, Washington on the road and Colorado on the road will all be difficult games for Oregon to pull off.
Arizona: 2
Arizona's win against Washington was not pretty, but a road win does not have to be, and their dominating victory over Washington State puts the Wildcats right back in the fight. Arizona's games against Washington and Arizona State at home should not be difficult if the Wildcats come to play, but their games against Colorado and UCLA on the road will not be easy.
The Bruins are a hard team to figure out, and that's not suprising considering their youth. After a statement making win over Arizona, UCLA's wheels have fallen off with back to back losses to Arizona State and USC. If they can get it back together, UCLA should only have some trouble against Arizona at home and Washington on the road.
Arizona State has the most difficult road of them all with three tough road games against Colorado, UCLA and Arizona. Their game against Washington at home won't be easy either.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays
Drake Britton screwed up royally during spring training. But to his credit, the 24-year-old has worked tirelessly this season, and he now has a chance to make an impression on the Red Sox. Britton was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket before Sunday's game in Oakland. It marks the first major league stint of Britton's career, and it will be an opportunity for him to show that he has grown both as a pitcher and as a person. Britton, who was drafted in 2007, made strides in 2012 after an awful 2011 season with High-A Salem. The lefty seemed to be headed in the right direction, and he entered spring training with a chance to show he was big league ready. Britton didn't make it past the first round of roster cuts, though, because he was arrested in early March. Britton allegedly drove 111 mph in a 45-mph zone near the Red Sox' spring training complex in Fort Myers, and he was arrested on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, driving under the influence and property damage. The police r...

I have a client that wants to move their users from MS-Access to a PHP/MySQL web application. The data has already been migrated to MySQL and, thankfully, there are no Access forms, just queries. What they want me to do is build some kind of querying framework where users can build queries, save them, filter/drill-down results, sort by any given column, and export to CSV (or native Excel, if possible). Some queries will include joins, but I don't think more than two (maybe three) tables.
I've started building this, but it's daunting and I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. I'm looking for suggestions on an existing open-source or freeware (budget it tight, natch) query designer framework or engine that I can either plug into my existing project, or is customizable enough that I can change colors and look/feel to match.
I've looked at Xataface, but it's querying seems a bit static and not very user-friendly for my purposes. (My users will be non-tech types that don't want to learn methods.)

Company donates carbon monoxide detectors to Barrington
David and Barbara Miller, both 61, were found dead in their home in March after they were exposed to a high level of carbon monoxide - about 500 parts per million - which probably came from their oven.
Fire Chief Rick Walker said most CO detectors sound an alarm with 35 parts per million of CO.
After an autopsy determined the Millers had high levels of CO, First Alert Inc., which is based in Aurora, Ill., offered to donate 100 digital CO detectors, which plug into an outlet and have a battery backup, as part of an educational outreach program.
After checking with selectmen, the town agreed to accept the donation,Walker said.
"We're very grateful," he said, He said the detectors will be distributed to residents in need through the general assistance offices at the town hall or via the food pantry.
CO detectors can also be purchased at hardware stores for about $20 to $30.
"We're going to target the most at risk, most in need residents," Walker said, adding many people, including many older residents, who live with fixed incomes, often must choose between food, heat or other essentials.
Walker said firefighters respond to about 20 incidents involving CO - a colorless, odorless and dangerous gas - around town each year, usually between the months of November and February.
"It's caused by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels," Walker said, adding CO can come from heaters, generators, furnaces or any other mechanical device.
Walker said some of the symptoms of CO poisoning are headaches, nausea and drowsiness.
He said all new homes and apartments in the state must have CO detectors, preferably one hard-wired into a system. He added one should be installed on every floor and especially near living spaces.
Despite the trend to require CO alarms, more than half of the homes in the U.S. do not have carbon monoxide alarms, according to a press release from First Alert.
"The key to it - much like smoke detectors - is it gives you an early warning," Walker said, adding this gives residents time to leave their home while firefighters respond.
"Unfortunately, elderly people usually are the last ones to seek help," Walker said.

Within eight years of the death of George Washington in 1799, the first major biography of "the father of his country" was written by John Marshall ... Show synopsis Within eight years of the death of George Washington in 1799, the first major biography of "the father of his country" was written by John Marshall and published in five volumes. Marshall, who later became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was induced to the task by the first President's nephew, Bushrod Washington. Marshall's own principal biographer, Albert J. Beveridge, has described "The Life of George Washington" as "to this day the fullest and most trustworthy treatment of that period from the conservative point of view." In fact, so significant is the biography that Marshall later executed a one-volume abridgment, first published in 1838 and used widely for generations in American schools and colleges. The twentieth and final version of the abridgement, published in 1849, is the text reproduced in the new Liberty Fund edition of what Charles A. Beard has praised as a "great" and "masterly" biography. The editors' foreword and notes, together with maps of major battle campaigns not included in the original edition, make this edition especially attractive for classroom use. The Appendices include Washington's Speech to the Officers of the Army (15 March 1783), Address to Congress on Resigning Commission (23 December 1783), Letter to Congress Transmitting Proposed Constitution (17 September 1787), First Inaugural Address (30 April 1789), and Farewell Address (19 September 1796).Robert Faulkner is a Professor of Political Science at Boston College.Paul Carrese is a Professor of Political Science at the United States Air Force Academy.

"This is a drill. I repeat this is a drill," students at Cedar Heights Elementary head over the school's intercom system Tuesday. "We have a dangerous intruder in the gym. We have a dangerous intruder in the gym."
Students then quickly followed their teachers outside the building.
School districts across eastern Iowa have practiced what they would do in a dangerous intruder situation, but only with faculty and staff. On Tuesday, Cedar Falls schools took it a step further and involved the students.
Jon Wiebers said that, in his 17 years as a principal -- seven of those at Cedar Heights Elementary -- a dangerous intruder drill was something he never thought they would ever have to go through.
"My original thought was, 'We shouldn't be doing this because of what it does to kids,'" he said. "Now, making sure kids are prepared is the best step for that."
When an intruder comes into the school, the drill suggests students run, hide or fight.
After a year's worth of planning, for the first time the Cedar Falls School District decided to have students practice the run part of that drill.
"A good thing to remember is, it's very similar to a tornado and fire drill while practicing those," said Wiebers. "The likelihood of those happening to us are slim -- as we hope, this is very slim and maybe nonexistent -- (but) having our kids know what to do is really important."
Before Tuesday's drill, teachers spoke with their students about what to do in these types of situations.
On Thursday, they plan to go through the "hide" part of the intruder drill.
Wiebers says they will not go though the "fight" part only because of the age of the students.
Cedar Falls Police were also involved with the planning process, and on Tuesday they were at the school to see how the students would do.
They say they are not surprised Cedar Falls decided to practice this type of drill.
"It's surprising to see, but knowing what's going on in our nation over the last several years, it's not surprising at all," said Capt. Creig Berte with the Cedar Falls Police Department. "So it's good to be practicing and be training and reacting to what's going on."
All schools in the Cedar Falls district are going through these drills; six elementaries, two junior high schools and the one high school.
