Pen to paper. That's all it will take for immigrants to get licenses to drive in Illinois.
The bill's just waiting for Governor Pat Quinn to sign it.
After efforts from across the aisle pushed a bill allowing immigrants to obtain driver's license through Senate, House lawmakers follow suit.
A roll call vote approved the bill 65 to 47.
All that's separating the bill from becoming law is Governor Pat Quinn's pen.
"He certainly said that he would sign it so that's something I think would be done soon. Once that's done, they still have to implement the rules and regulations," said Senator Dave Syverson, a 34th district republican.
Certain factors will be taken into account before applicant's receive approval from the Secretary of State's office.
"They have to purchase insurance, they have to have a valid ID and they couldn't have any kind of a criminal record."
Lawmakers say driving is a privilege. Which means taking advantage of the system comes with harsh penalties.
"You have to have insurance in place before you apply for this driver's license. If you drop the insurance or do not carry insurance, you get caught or stopped driving and you don't have it, then you will lose that license."
The new rules mean an estimated 250,000 more licensed drivers on the road.
"I would think the soonest we'd be looking at would be sometime in May or June before it would officially start."
Once the law is adopted, Illinois joins New Mexico and Washington as the only state's allowing illegal immigrants to earn driver's licenses.
We called local Representative Chuck Jefferson for his feedback, he didn't respond but did vote yes for the bill. Senator Syverson opposed it. So did our other local lawmakers including Tim Bivins, Christine Johnson, John Cabello, Joe Sosnowski and Jim Sacia.

Words cannot express the awfulness of this article by the Toronto Star's Damien Cox, but I'll try. Piece by piece, line by line.
As a precursor, I don't read Damien Cox on a regular basis. I will read him from now on, if only to be inspired that I too could have a career in sports journalism, because if this passes as journalism from a major newspaper's hockey columnist and associate sports editor.
His thoughts are in quotes. Mine are not.
Funny how people are so ready to believe Alex Burrows, and so ready to assume Stephane Auger essentially cheated the Vancouver Canucks.
Probably because Burrows is the only person to have said anything so far. Stephane Auger hasn't so much even said "nope, didn't happen". Generally when it's a he said-he said, if only one side says anything and it's the least bit credible, people believe the side that has actually said anything.
Come to think of it, funny how it's always the Canucks screaming outrage about something. Unless, of course, its a Vancouver fan shining a laser into the face of an opposing goalie. Then, in the words of Alain Vigneault, they're just "great fans."
They sure get unhinged in a hurry over hockey in Vancouver. Geez, years later, you can still get folks all up in a lather over the Bertuzzi-Moore incident, claiming Steve Moore deserved what he got and how he faked his injuries, etc.
Never much moderation out of B.C. when it comes to these things.
If Vigneault said that the fan shining the laser into Kiprusoff's face was a "great fan", Vigneault deserves to be fined, if not fired. I dare Cox to back that up. I am 100% certain that Vigneault was not referring to that fan.
I suppose Cox would know about getting unhinged over hockey, considering he lives and writes about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto - bastion of all that is moderate, reasonable and unbiased when it comes to hockey writing.
Just last summer, Canucks GM Mike Gillis accused the Leafs not once but twice of illegally meddling in Vancouver team business. The NHL essentially laughed and went on to other business.
Laughed and went on to other business is apparently Cox's definition of "fining the Maple Leafs for tampering". It's all more or less the same thing.
Because, of course, it's okay for a head coach to mention other players by name, and then have the general manager go to a foreign country to try to seduce the player(s).
Now Burrows and his accusations against Auger, which have many in Vancouver screaming that justice must be done, how this proves referees carry grudges and how Auger should be thrown out of the sport.
Amusingly, it wasn't just Vancouver that thought things were weird. Opposing players were surprised at the refereeing and the calls.
And what problem does Cox have with people in Vancouver screaming that justice must be done?
For starters, how do we know Burrows is telling the truth?
There's absolutely no corroboration of his story. What we do know is that he's a known dive artist and agitator who is more than happy to fake an injury or a foul if it draws a penalty against an opponent. He believes referees are there to buy into his various cons and acting jobs.
There's lots of corroboration. There's as much corroboration as there possibly could be apart from a microphone picking up the conversation that happened when the two involved were chatting during the pre-game. If Burrows isn't telling the truth, he's a heckuva liar, and one of the smartest and fast-thinking NHL players out there to be that specific and precise with his allegations, all of which are backed up by all of the available circumstantial evidence.
If Burrows is smart enough to concoct that, he should be too smart to say it in the first place.
He's a pretty good hockey player, too. It's just that the nonsense sometimes overshadows the ability, just like his teammate, Ryan Kesler.
Damien Cox's brain: "Hmmm...I'm a hockey writer and I'm writing about a player I have an obvious bias again. Who's another one I can drag into it?? I got it!! Randomly slag a teammate of Burrows!! Problem solved!!"
Auger? Solid, not spectacular ref. Not one of the NHL's best, but solid. To be honest, most nights I couldn't tell you who the referees are any more. It's just not a big factor to me.
"Not one of the NHL's best" is probably the only reasonable thing said in the article. Cox admits he's not paying attention to the referees, and that it's not a big factor. That's how he defends Auger: "I couldn't tell you because I don't know because I don't care. But he's solid, not spectacular, but solid."
I'm not even going to get into whether Auger is a solid referee. Anyone who randomly starts a slander campaign against Shane Doan and can screw up the Brad May goal from earlier this year...well, if that's solid, my goodness, I'm scared to think what Cox considers a bad one.
Oh wait, he wouldn't know because he doesn't care to pay attention. Except when writing articles about defending referees, then he cares. Or something. I'm lost now.
The willingness of so many to accept Burrows' story, however, is just an extension of the way in which many adults feel when they go to the neighborhood rink and watch their kids play. So many constantly harp on referees and accuse them of deliberately falsifying calls to benefit one team or the other.
Not really. The willingness comes from the corroborating evidence, comments from Craig Conroy that suggest this is widespread by saying "don't tattletale", and because Auger has not provided any sort of rationale explanation for what exactly he was saying to Burrows. It's not even a he said-he said at this point.
Let's face it. As a nation, we're a bunch of crybabies and referee baiters.
Am I the only person who read this line and rephrased with: "Let's face it. As Leafs Nation, we're a bunch of crybabies and referee baiters?
Tee-hee. Random potshot! Yay!
To many (say, Leaf broadcasts) the game is nothing more than a constant discussion of officiating calls, how they got it right or wrong or why they missed this or that. Always, there's an underlying message — Pat Quinn is the best at this — suggesting the men in the striped jerseys are somehow dishonest, unmanly and not to be trusted.
Hockey Night in Canada fostered this mentality for years, although it has improved slightly in this regard in recent times.
There's still an attitude in this country that the best officiated game is one in which referees don't make any calls at all but simply give the advantage to the lesser skilled players and the lowest common denominator.
More random shots (Quinn, HNIC, country in general).
I always want to ask those people what they think the refs are out there for. To break up fights, I guess. But not too quickly.
Referees are there to police the game according to the rule book, to be unbiased and defenders of fair play.
Auger, at best, failed at two of these three things (policing and defending fair play). At worst, he's guilty of all three.
I don't know what Auger said to Burrows. But I don't believe Burrows, either, and I don't believe the integrity of the sport has been terribly compromised.
That's fine. You don't believe Burrows because you don't like Burrows. But don't you want to at least know what Auger said? Isn't that a bit important? Isn't it at least a bit important to know what Auger said? Maybe we should at least consider the possibility Burrows isn't a liar?
I do believe the Canucks are making a mountain out of a molehill. But then, they always do.
Because if Burrows allegations are true, the referee directly impacted the course of a game in a biased fashion. And that's a mountain if I ever saw one for the NHL.

I knew of one Steelers Fan prior to the game, and made a bet with her, based upon her jawing with me for the week leading up to the game. Losing team's fan buys a coffee drink for the winning team's fan.
Today I returned to work after being off Monday and Tuesday, and the fun began when she arrived.She brought the McDonald's latte to me, and said, "Here you go, and it doesn't really count, because you didn't really win, but I bought it for you anyway. The refs gave you that game with all their terrible calls and non-calls."
Hunh? I searched my data banks, and couldn't recall any instances where I felt we "got away" with an iffy call that went our way, or even "got away" with a blatant penalty that went unjustly uncalled.
So, later on I ask her, "Which bad calls did you mean?"
"Well, they took away our touchdown two times on that one drive, and your guys were holding Harrison all night long." "And the way that ref was explaining the challenge and the decision, it seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about, so it wasn't right that he took it away from us."
I started to respond that both those goal-line calls, while close, were ultimately called correctly, but just let it lie. And every time I saw her the rest of the day, I just thanked her for the coffee.
The two other Pittsburgh fans approached me and both spoke very cautiously and deliberately about the game and said things that I can't recall exactly here and now, but I felt like they were saying that we were just lucky to win and that they didn't mind losing to us.
Two things in my reaction to them:
One, I said that it sure looked like they were going to score when we knocked the ball out of Miller's hands, and I'm glad we made that play, and that I was nervous the whole game about who would win because it was so close and hard-fought.
B. - I couldn't tell whether it was a "pity-based" we don't mind losing to you (I'm getting pretty tired of being dismissed as legitimate in this manner), or a "you're our 2nd favorite team...we root for the Saints when we're not watching Pittsburgh" kind of thing, but I didn't press it to ask about it, figuring it may be better to let it lie (that's twice I did that today).
Why am I telling y'all this story? To help me process it, please.
1) Although I'm not a huge fan of Micky-D's coffee, it was one of the best lattes ever because of how it was obtained...and to let you share in that joy with me.
2) I try to be objective, but I know it's difficult when I'm watching my Saints. Were there bad calls in that game that I just missed? Were those goal-line plays closer than I thought? Did we catch a lot of breaks in that game?
3) As for part B above, should I feel differently about it if it's a "pity-based" we don't mind losing to you vs. "you're my second favorite team" situation, or am I just being too sensitive?
I await the feedback of my CSC brethren and...sistren, sisters? Thanking you in advance. I'm gonna hang up now and listen to your answers.

...for the start to the 2010 season, go get a dose or two of reality. We have to be more patient than this...we're acting like the annoying Bears fans that I constantly have to listen to all the time living close to Chicago.
Our team, not but two years ago, was only beginning the lowest of low seasons. To expect that this team would be already dominate is just irrational. Jim Schwartz walked into a complete and utter crapfest when he took the job of head coach of the Detroit Lions about a year and a half ago. We all know this...so why are people writing about his job security. IF YOU WANT CONSISTENCY AND SUCCESS, YOU HAVE TO LET IT BUILD. You cannot be firing and hiring coaches, revamping all personnel every other year, and changing over your entire defense or offense every other year. You have to let things build and gel.
This seems like common sense to me. But the predictable impatience that is being shown by some Lions fans is starting to eat at me. If you are one of these people, you are not allowing for things to just happen. As much as you want to see a successful Lions team, you have to take a step back and let things happen.
In 2010, thus far, we've played three very good teams...two of which we played notable games against and one we didn't. What is wrong with that? We all know our record SHOULD be 1-2 at the moment...possibly 2-1 or 3-0 with Stafford under center. This team is SCORES better than the ones I've seen in Detroit over the past decade. But we still have the problems that we've been discussing here for weeks and months. Our secondary needs work. Our pass defense still needs improvement. Next offseason, you can bet that will be addressed...along with the linebackers. We're pressuring the QBs more....we have a notable offense when everyone is healthy...and Schwartz seems to get the big picture of what needs to happen in Detroit for success to follow.
Please, for the love of God, stop being so impatient and impulsive with your criticisms. Yes, Schwartz has made mistakes. It's going to happen. But let's be reasonable here. Any fans who have REALLY been disappointed by the start of the season set themselves up for heartbreak. I knew going in that this season would be very tough and that our record probably wouldn't speak of the progress we're having. The schedule is as tough as nails....the injuries are piling up predictably, and our defense is still questionable at best. We're better than this. You know what it's going to take to see this team succeed....much more time than people have been willing to give thus far. Accept it and move on. Our time is coming, my fellow Lions fans. It just may not be at the speed you'd like it. But it's coming. And with patience, it will arrive....no doubt. And it will be glorious. Hang in there.
We're going to have a rough one in Lambeau this week. Get ready.
That is all. GO LIONS!!!

MICK Munro's delight at having his stolen trailer returned soon turned to disappointment when he learnt the vehicle had been stripped bare and the expensive array of tools it once contained were still missing.
Between late November 29 and the early hours of November 30, Mr Munro's uninsured yellow trailer containing all of his work tools was stolen from a shed on his father's Mitchell Highway property near Guyong.
With no clue as to how or why the vehicle and its contents, worth about $60,000, were stolen, Mr Munro hoped word-of-mouth or media coverage would lead to the items being returned or found.
On Monday, January 6, police told Mr Munro that the vehicle had been located on a road leading to a property on the outskirts of Orange, although only the shell of the vehicle remained.
He said while police are following a number of leads, no arrests have been made.
Mr Munro said he couldn't understand why the thieves dumped the vehicle without its missing side panels.
"Why didn't they leave everything with it, it was worth about $20,000 now it's probably only worth $10,000," he said.
"They also cut the chain that was attached to the $30,000 grey concrete cutting saw that weighed 550 kilograms and took it and all of the other tools."
Mr Munro said while he's still upset about what happened he's vowed to cut his loses and move on although he doesn't expect to be able to afford to replace the equipment for at least five years.
"If the shoe was on the other foot how would these people feel if they had the equipment they relied on to make their income stolen?" he said.

Legal Analysis of Player's Case Against NBA
There has been little discussion on this blog of the merits of the players' legal case now that they have decertified the union. Players can sue the owners for anti-trust violations. It seems like, based on the dearth of opinions about the merits of the case, that there is not much legal precedent for this. But the damages are triple what the players are losing in the lockout, so see this link to the salary calculator from a previous blog and times it by three to get an idea of the owners exposure...aka a lot of money. That sounds like some leverage to me.

With its romantic score and haunting tale of revenge gone awry, Verdi's Rigoletto has captivated audiences since its original debut in 1851. The Boston Lyric Opera production merged exceptional talent with inspired design, applying Color Kinetics' intelligent LED illumination to complement the stage performance.
Designed by Paul Palazzo, the lighting scheme called for color-shifting effects to light both the performers and the two-tiered gallery set. A foot light panel comprised of 18 ColorBlast® 12 systems washed light onto the stage and its central platform, ranging from deep, saturated red to soft amber and warm white. 23 ColorBlast systems were also concealed under the gallery arches to downlight the set in a range of gradually changing colors that helped to set the dramatic mood throughout the performance. For example, warm amber illuminated the dark space when the Duke of Mantua performed his famed aria, and somber blue flooded the platform when Rigoletto lamented the misfortune of his daughter.
Rigoletto at the Boston Lyric Opera
Production Manager James Daley says, "The ColorBlast systems provided a significant advantage in terms of space, time and control setup. There was no need for conventional gels, filters, or dimmers, and we were able to apply the same, easily-concealed units throughout multiple scenes and acts."
According to the Boston Metro, "While the singers, particularly the three leads, deserve the 'bravos' and 'bravas' showered on them by the opening night crowd, equal applause should be given to Paul Palazzo for his inventive lighting style and Allen Moyer for his strong set."

So basically, Ronald Reagan set up hospital emergency rooms as socialized healthcare, and then…
…didn't fund them.
It's an unfunded mandate.
So it's illegal to let patients die on your doorstep. A step forward in society (Reagan at the time said it allied with American's Christian principles and his own). But the Republicans of the time never paid for it. They kicked that particular can down the road.
As a result, hospitals saw emergency room visits drastically increase. Insurance companies, because many of the uninsured used emergency rooms as care (to which they're legally allowed, it's how to collect the payment later that's in issue), try to refuse to pay for the increase. Hospitals got clever at burying costs into healthy patient's procedures, or anywhere else.
The system gets distorted.
So we already have socialized healthcare, it's just that the hospitals, the government, and the insurance companies are all putting their fingers on their noses and saying 'not it!' due to that single fact: the 1986 bill was an unfunded mandate.
Tobias Buckell, American healthcare was already socialized by Reagan, we're just fighting about how to pay for it.

New Trailer For Judd Apatow's THIS IS 40 Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
A new trailer [here is the first one] for director Judd Apatow's This Is 40 is here, it's a follow up to Knocked Up. The movie follows Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's characters as they approach middle age. I expect some laughs and crude humor, as well as some sweet moments; it's an Apatow movie after all. Albert Brooks plays Rudd's father, now that's something to see.
The movie also stars Megan Fox, Chris O'Dowd, Lena Dunham, Ryan Lee, Charlene Yi, Robert Smigel, Wyatt Russell, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Segel and John Lithgow.
This Is 40 opens on December 21st, watch the trailer below:
Trailer For NOBODY WALKS Starring John Krasinski and Olivia Thirlby
Here is the first trailer for the drama Nobody Walks starring John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, and Rosemarie DeWitt.
Director Ry Russo-Young co-wrote the movie with Lena Dunham (HBO's Girls). The trailer does a great job at building up the sure to be shit storm of confrontation that these selfish people seem to me making. It's nice to see John Krasinski trying something other than comedy, because he doesn't make me laugh. Ever.
23 year old Martine (Olivia Thirlby) has moved into a wealthy family's pool house, and begins working to complete work on her art film. Meanwhile, laid back father of two Peter (John Krasinski) agrees to his wife's request to help their young guest complete the project. The more time Martine spends with her surrogate family, however, the more apparent it becomes no one will walk away from this situation unchanged.
Trailer for Judd Apatow's THIS IS 40
Here is the first trailer for Judd Apatow's This Is 40, the "sort-of sequel" to Knocked Up. It takes a look at the lives of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) a few years after the events of Knocked Up. There could be a great movie here, a dramedy of dealing with aging and adulthood is something Apatow should be good at as his body of work (Freaks and Geeks, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Funny People) has tackled it somewhat before.
This Is 40 opens on December 21st 2012.
Writer/director/producer Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Funny People) brings audiences This Is 40, an original comedy that expands upon the story of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) from the blockbuster hit Knocked Up as we see firsthand how they are dealing with their current state of life.

A federal judge will hear arguments in a lawsuit filed by Kansas and Arizona seeking to force modifications in a national voter registration form so the states can fully enforce proof-of-citizenship requirements.
U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren will take up the request for a preliminary injunction Friday in Wichita. The states want an order requiring the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to change the national voter registration form before next year's midterm elections.
The states want the federal form to include instructions requiring Kansas and Arizona residents to provide a birth certificate, passport or other proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.
The Justice Department says such a change places an additional obstacle for eligible voters and would affect nationwide policy by setting a precedent.

On 2011-07-18 22:29, Removing the projects does not generally mean that you remove the git repository. There are two options when you remove
a project:
1. Remove without removing the associated files, then the git repository is intact.
2. Remove the associated files, then the git repository has changes pending (the remove that you just made). The git
repository is still there and the files you removed will show up as an uncommitted change. Well, there's the exceptional
case where the git repository lives within the project in which case it will be completely wiped but I assume that that
isn't the case here since you mention updates of an existing repository.
In case of #2, that means that an auto-fetch would cause a merge (your removed files + any changes performed in the
remote repository). Your remove action will not be overridden. To do so would be incorrect.
The auto.fetch (bad name really, we must change this to auto.pull) is intended to update and existing repository and all
projects. The normal resolution should then re-add any projects removed in case you do #1.

Jamie King Already Shot 'Sin City: A Dame To k!ll For'
|Jamie King Already Shot 'Sin City: A Dame To k!ll For'
topic by Steve - 01-11-2013, 05:33 PM - Boxden > The TV and Movie Spot
Goldie and Wendy are back in "Sin City: A Dame to k!ll For," but don't expect actress Jaime King to have any secrets from set to share. Though she's already completed her part on the upcoming movie, King shot her scenes before any of her costars had been cast.
"I was the first one to shoot on the very first day. I was like, 'So who else is going to be in the movie with me because I'm acting to five pieces of tape?' And they're like, 'Oh, they haven't been cast yet,'" King told MTV News. "Literally, five pieces of tape and someone's hand. They're like, 'This is the other actor."
That didn't make it a bad experience for King, though. "You just roll with it with Robert Rodriguez because you can trust him," she said. "Literally I worked with not one single actor. I worked with literally tape. A roll of tape, and a hand."
Since "A Dame to k!ll For" will take place before "Sin City," King's prostitute twin sister characters will be back and better than ever (read: Goldie won't be dead). Because of that, King said that her fans are in for a treat.
"You get to see two of me at the same time," she teased.
"Sin City: A Dame to k!ll For" is due out on October 4, 2013.

NOGALES, AZ- A special Spring Project took place on March 19, 2011. A team of employees from Unisource Energy Services, Cricket Wireless and Nogales High School's National Honor Society through their involvement in Rebuilding Together Santa Cruz County, made improvements to the Vale family home in Rio Rico.
Rebuilding Together has once again partnered with Cricket Communications to serve low-income homeowners in communities across the country. During the project in Nogales, Cricket employees assisted experienced trades people with drywall repair, painting and some electrical work. The Vale home received a much-needed facelift thanks to our volunteers.
"The generous donation by Cricket volunteers is invaluable to us," remarked Marcela Chavez, Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Santa Cruz County. "As a non-profit organization, every penny that we save by having volunteers perform much needed work, can go to our programs and services to serve those in need."
In addition to its core home repair work, Rebuilding Together also rehabilitates community centers and conducts home modification and repair programs that focus on aging in place. Rebuilding Together has programs dedicated to energy efficiency, veteran's housing, and disaster recovery and reconstruction. With the help of everyday citizen volunteers, skilled trades people, the support of local business and major corporate partners, Rebuilding Together affiliates in America's largest cities and smallest towns make life considerably better for thousands of low-income homeowners.

Number 36. Thirty Six. It's not just a bus I didn't like to get in my Uni days (they wanted exact change only.) This is the 36th time which the Pictonaut Challenge has sallied forth into the grimy, forgotten places of cyberspace. So this iteration will see the closing out of the third year that I've been doing this. That is not an inconsiderable span of years. For three whole years I've cranked out a horrid and wretched wordascope once and month, every month, without fail. It's an achievement of sorts, an achievement which is now a vast sprawling behemoth of some forty seven and a half thousand words. So I think I've earnt the right to blow my own trumpet a little. But I won't. Mainly because I don't know how to play the trumpet. Also it sounds vaguely like a sex thing. Some how I've kept going, though I fear my creative juices may now be running low. I fear that I may have to go scrounging around in the Junk Yard.
The Way Out
I could do with a cave right about now. Some where cool and dark, not too humid, not too dry. Somewhere I can hide from the oppressive and malign rays of the Day Star. A place where I can pass the worst of high summer in something approaching comfort. By now you will all be well aware that I talk a lot about the weather and that I cannot abide the heat. But it reached a new level the other week as I sweated through my shirt and my trousers until I was unpleasantly damp in all the wrong places. I yearn for winds both sharp and cold; for air crisp and clear; for the ability to wear one of my many nice coats or many good jumpers. On the upside we've had some cracking thunderstorms. Which is nice. Now on to the fiction.
July's Pictonaut Challenge
Do you hear that sound? That high-pitched whine just at the edge of hearing? The wail whose source you just can't quite find, every time you try to focus your hearing onto it, the sound just slides away to somewhere else. It's the sound that's making your dogs ears bleed and your cutlery melt. That sound is me. It is an exquisite requiem rendered in panic, anxiety and failure. For you see, I forgot to write the blogpost for the beginning of July's Pictonaut Challenge. Now it's gone 7pm, the post should have slithered onto the internet seven hours ago. But it couldn't, because it did not exist. I should have written it last night but I got distracted. I could make my excuses, there was a THUNDERDOME, some faeries, boots which were made for thinking. But so much of it is a strange and incomprehensible blur of which I can only grasp loose and vivid shards. And so I am lost in a thick soup of panic as I frantically hammer away at my keyboard, desperately trying to finish this blogpsot before anyone notices that it's missing. that soupy, black panic pulls me further into its fathomless depths, it swallows me, I cannot find The Way Out.
Them Apples
So the weather eh? We've been having so much of it haven't we? All that vast and oppressive heat thundering across the void of space to bathe our fair globe in its radiance and brown our pale and pallid man flesh (or is that just me?) And interspersed with the assault from our parent star there has been rain, great torrents of it being vomited forth from clouds heavy and gravid with sky juice. Oh and this week I deemed the weather pleasant enough to start wearing shorts again. You have been warned. Gather your loved ones, say goodbye to your friends and flee immediately.
But that's enough preamble for today, I have no doubt that you grow weary of inane chatter and insufferable small-talk. So I should probably get onto the stories.
June's Pictonaut Challenge
There was a time when I hated summer. Summer meant be forced outside to participate in "sports." Things which I neither understood or enjoyed. In my mind the two things began inseparable from one another. So I came to loathe summer. The heavy, stifling heat became and the bright, lustre of the day-star became harbingers for prolonged periods of not-fun. But things change. When the last spell of good weather visited us I found myself looking out of an open window and a clear, bright world that seemed so very inviting. Thoughts came into my mind. Thoughts like: "I really feel like going for a bit of a cycle today" and "walking six miles seems like an entirely sane and rational thing to do right now." Perhaps it is because living alone and a general absence of commitments mean that for the first time in my life, I am truly my own master. Free to do what I want to do and be what I want to be. Perhaps my blind stumblings through life are finally beginning to bear fruit. If so it is a fruit I intend to savour. A fruit with crisp skin that yields easily to teeth; a fruit with sharp, yet sweet flesh and juice that runs freely. Perhaps this fruit is an apple. And we all love Them Apples.
Yet another month evaporates away like mist on a late spring morning. The great and titanic majesty of summer begins to stir itself from its slumber, serpentine coils sliding and uncoiling. It readies itself to strike, be it with sun-fire or unending rain, Summer is a fickle beast and we are never sure with which weapon it will strike. Let's face it, summer's a bit of a dick. But on this day, the last before summer awakens I bring you stories. Tales of derring-do, of wonder and sorrow, tales of a place which is not here. Tales of a girl, standing on a mountain.
May's Pictonaut Challenge
The astute and observant amongst you (by law of averages there's bound to be at least some) will be aware that since January I have been suffering from vague and mysterious pains and generalised agonies, in and around my hip. This has led to thoughts of DIY amputations or the acquisition of slightly lethal quantities of painkillers. In the last month my strange and nebulous bodily torments have fallen under the purview of a physiotherapist, who now valiantly quests to sort out my gammy hip once and for all. He has, however, been extremely reluctant to use advanced military cybernetics as a solution. (What can I say? He's a traditionalist.)
So as you read this I will be, in all likelihood, barely clothed, sprawled out on a massage table being subjected to the eye-watering agony of "treatment." Last time, when I asked what he was doing his response could be summarised as "Oh, I'm just poking your tendons so hard that the connective tissue starts to dissolve." I shall count myself lucky if I can stand once he is finished, and doubly lucky if I can manage walk properly afterwards. But as the old saying goes: "You can't make an omelette without pain so intense that it makes your nerves melt and your bones howl." (This is a lie, that is not how the old saying goes.)
This (as always) tenuous segue leads us to this month's Pictonaut Challenge and the grotesque flexibility of Yogic.

The Genuine Savings Criterion and the Value of Population
AbstractArrow, Dasgupta and Maler demonstrate thatin any dynamic model of the economy with changing population, population should properly be one of the state variables of the system. It enters both in the maxim and, at least under total utilitarianism, and into the production function in one way or another. If population growth is exponential and there are constant returns to scale, then a simple transformation to per capita variables can be used to eliminate one state variable. However, this simple transformation cannot be made if growth is not exponential, as it obviously is not and cannot be. If the growth of population is exogenous, then introducing it into the system does not affect the optimal policy. However, if one asks whether the system is sustainable, in the sense of at least maintaining total welfare (integral of discounted utilities), then the criterion is that the value of the rates of change of the state variables is non-negative, so that the shadow price of population becomes relevant. In this paper, we derive explicit formulas in a simple model, showing that the rate of growth of per capita capital is not the correct formula but must have other terms added to it. We also study the question under an alternative criterion of long-run average utilitarianism.

When Kourtney was pregnant, she was able to dress her growing body so well! I've been turning to her for styling advice and tips since her effortless preggo fashion has served as inspiration for me. I love experimenting and playing around with different looks and outfits, but it's also nice to have someone who knows a thing or two about dressing up your baby bump! I actually borrowed this Rachel Pally dress from Kourt and I'm obsessed with how comfy and chic it is. What pregnancy look do you like best, fitted or flowy? Xo

Mommy Blog: Dressing During Early Stages of PregnancyMarch 1, 2013 / 81 Comments
Hi guys! So I wanted to do a mommy blog today to talk about fashion during the early stages of a pregnancy. For me, I've found that I've gained inches and I've gotten wider but my belly hasn't popped yet, so I struggle finding things that don't make me look heavy. Some days my baby bump really shows, and some days it doesn't… so I never really know what I'm going to look like.
At this stage I guess I'm more focused on concealing the weight gain than I am about dressing the bump, just because it hasn't popped yet. My new J Brand maternity jeans are a blessing because they make me feel slim and comfortable, and I'm excited to try other looks! I heard Jet makes some amazing maternity jeans too. Once I start showing more I'll be all about showing off my bump, and I can't wait!
I'm definitely having a lot of fun with my maternity fashion and love trying new things. I want to share my pregnancy fashion tips with other expecting moms out there and I know it's different for everyone; some women start showing sooner, others don't start showing until later, but I want to share my own personal experiences with you guys along the way :) Does anyone know any good dressing tips for pregnancy? Xo
My Favorite Pregnancy LookMarch 1, 2013 / 38 Comments
I hardly look pregnant! lol
When I really get my bump I will love showing it off, but some days its bigger than others and it hasn't really popped yet. So this inbetween phase is so awkward to dress. I have gained lots of inches in width, but cant wait for the bump to pop… but finding ways to conceal it is hard!
I tested out the J Brand maternity jeans I blogged about and love them! I put it with a Carine Gilson cami and a Dries van Noten cardigan, Louboutins and an Hermes clutch!
Sweet and feminine. Love this look! Xo

Mommy Blog: Perfect Maternity JeansFebruary 25, 2013 / 52 Comments
Hi guys! So I love sharing my favorite products and beauty and fashion tips with you all and I wanted to do my first mommy blog today to tell you about these new J Brand jeans I received. They are these super comfy maternity jeans with soft, stretchy side panels in the front and they are absolutely amazing! I feel like I'm back to my old self and I'm so happy! With this being my first pregnancy I've been finding it really difficult to find clothes that are comfortable and fit me well, but these are great. Are there any other moms to be out there who have tried these? I'd love to hear you pregnancy tips too!! :-) Xo

If you're looking for a book about love for Valentine's Day, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better choice than The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, which goes on sale, appropriately, on Feb. 14. This latest story by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo revolves around an elegant china rabbit named Edward who belongs to a girl named Abilene and lives in an extremely elegant household. He has a wardrobe of handmade silk suits, custom leather shoes and an attitude to match. He is an utter snob, disdainful of most everything; his heart is as cold as the china of which he is made.
"You disappoint me," Abilene's grandmother tells Edward. She had him commissioned, but she doesn't like what he has become. So one night she tells a story about a princess "who loved no one and cared nothing for love, even though there were many who loved her." Deep in his cold heart, Edward knows the story is for him.
And so Edward's journey begins, as he, Abilene and her family board a ship, the Queen Mary. On deck some mean boys begin playing catch with Edward, and he ends up going overboard, deep into the sea. There he's caught in a fisherman's net, and taken to the first of many new homes.
To Edward's complete horror, the fisherman's wife calls him "Susanna" and dresses him like a girl. In his new home, however, his heart begins to stir. Later Edward is thrown into a dump and adopted by a hobo named Bull, who calls Edward "Malone." As the rabbit is tossed from one owner to the next, he comes to learn "what it was like to miss someone."
DiCamillo's newest offering is full of lovely, stately language, a riveting plot and a message that is heartwarming without being preachy. Fans of Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux will not be disappointed.
Rounding out this magnificent book are gorgeous illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline. At the beginning of each chapter are small duotone illustrations, plus 10 full-color, lavish plates. Drink them in; they are particularly pleasing in this day and age when simple, childlike art seems all too often the rage.
DiCamillo's plot will keep you riveted, reminding you of other wonderful fairy tales, especially those of Hans Christian Andersen. This tale has "destined to be a classic" written all over it, and it lives up to its great promise. Copyright 2006 BookPage Reviews.

A story about the thoughts and feelings of a toy bunny can't help but call to mind The Velveteen Rabbit, that well-loved tale of a battered, longsuffering stuffed animal who longs to be real. Only a page or two of this book, however, is enough to dismiss the notion of much similarity between the two characters. Edward is a dapper porcelain rabbit who knows himself--with the possible exception of whiskers "of uncertain origin"--to be as grand a specimen as ever there was. Spending his days facing the picture window, he prefers winter, when the sun sets early and he can see his reflection in the glass. He sits at the family dinner table each evening, clad in custom-made outfits of the finest fabrics. The pampered, privileged rabbit suffers the occasional indignity, as when a maid vacuums his ears, handling him "as cavalierly as an inanimate object," or when he is picked up and shaken in the jaws of an errant dog. Saved by his mistress's mother's shouting "Drop it!," Edward feels his ego to be more bruised than his aching head: he'd been referred to as "it!" The author, whose children's stories include the 2001 Newberry Honor book Because of Winn-Dixie, paints Edward's circumstances with enough pathos and humor to render him charming, yet shows enough of his heartless self-importance to keep from being maudlin. It is Edward's character flaws, like the foibles of A.A. Milne's anthropomorphized animals, that make him real. Pompously aloof, Edward tolerates the adoration of his ten-year-old mistress with no compunction about his lack of reciprocal affection for her. He is merely puzzled by the story told by the girl's grandmother: a princess who doesn't love is spellbound by an evil witch--without redemption. When the girl decries the unhappy ending, her grandmother shrugs and replies: "How can a story end happily if there is no love?" This is DiCamillo's theme, and the miracle of Edward Tulane's journey is the miracle of learning to love. Through repeated accidents of abandonment and cold dismissals, Edward gradually experiences emotion: fear, despair, gratitude, humility. He finds a measure of understanding: the princess in the grandmother's story, he realizes, was punished because she didn't love. To DiCamillo's credit, appreciating the importance of love doesn't magically plant that feeling in Edward's heart. It does engender sensitivity, however, and Edward reveals himself to be a compassionate listener: "And in his listening, his heart opened wide and then wider still." When he is picked up by a poverty-stricken boy with a terminally ill little sister and an abusive father, the story turns a bit too sentimental, but this small departure from DiCamillo's typically comfortable balance between sweetness and wit is easily forgiven. The story ends with a satisfying twist of fate, completing a tale that is both delightful and moving. (March) Bonnie Deigh Copyright 2006 ForeWord Reviews.

Edward, a china rabbit with real rabbit-fur ears, lives a pampered life with Abilene, the little girl who loves him. Her devotion isn't returned, but when Edward's fortune changes, he learns to listen and love those who love him. DiCamillo writes tenderly and lyrically but with restraint. The old-fashioned sepia-toned drawings and full-color plates ground the fanciful story in a realistic setting. Copyright 2006 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2006 #2
Edward Tulane is a china rabbit with real rabbit-fur ears and tail, a sumptuous wardrobe, and a pampered life with Abilene Tulane, the little girl who loves him. Her devotion isn't returned. Edward's heart is as chilly as his china body until his fortune changes and he spends some time in the muck at the bottom of the ocean. He passes through several hands over the years, found first by an elderly fisherman and his wife. With them, he learns to listen and to remember the stories they whisper to him, and his heart for the first time begins to wake up. Edward's journey continues -- he spends time in a garbage dump, travels around with a hobo and his dog, and lives with several others, learning to love those who love him. DiCamillo writes tenderly and lyrically but with restraint, keeping a tight focus on Edward's experience and gradual awakening. The book is physically beautiful as well, with cream-colored pages and a generous number of illustrations. Ibatoulline's appropriately old-fashioned sepia-toned drawings and full-color plates, which possess the same poignant quality as DiCamillo's prose, ground the fanciful story in a realistic setting. Although Edward (like the Velveteen Rabbit his story can't help but bring to mind) is the worse for wear, a happy ending awaits him. Copyright 2006 Horn Book Magazine Reviews.
Kirkus Reviews 2006 January #2
Once again, DiCamillo harkens back to an older storytelling style, filled with magic and the transformational power of love. Edward Tulane is a china rabbit--dapper and serious and more than a little superior. His mistress, Abilene Tulane, loved him and "thought almost as highly of Edward as Edward thought of himself." Edward is interested in little beyond his own comfort and beauty. Indeed, everyone except for Abilene's grandmother, Pellegrina, condescends to him. She commissioned his making, ordered his dapper clothing and smart pocket watch and, in the end, demanded a good deal more of Edward than he thought he wanted to give. Her warning, "You disappoint me," thrusts Edward into the adventure that becomes his life. He learns about love, loss and consequences. Somewhere between fairy tale and fable, DiCamillo spins the tale of Edward, transformed by the lives he touches. The reader will be transformed too. Sumptuous gouache illustrations complement the old-fashioned, dramatic narrative. Keep the tissues handy for this one. (Fiction. 7+) Copyright Kirkus 2006 Kirkus/BPI Communications.

Is destined to become a timeless classic--as beloved as the treasured The Velveteen Rabbit. This touching story stars Edward Tulane, a selfish toy rabbit who learns about love after he falls overboard during a trip with his original owner. After being rescued, Edward begins an arduous journey from one owner to another, learning to love more than himself. Bagram Ibatoulline's exquisite illustrations enhance this unforgettable tale. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Library Media Connection - April/May 2006
I have read hundreds of books and only a few have brought tears to my eyes. Edward, a quite handsome and rather self-centered china rabbit, is transformed through a journey across time and space that takes him far away from the lap of luxury and the arms of the girl who loves him to the bottom of the sea, to a lowly fisherman's hut, to a garbage dump, to a tramp's shoulder, to a dying girl's bed-side, to a broken heap on the sidewalk, to a doll doctor's shop, to-the miraculous conclusion. He doesn't become real in the literal sense like the Velveteen Rabbit, but Edward learns to love and by learning to love he becomes real in a spiritual sense that is eternal. Bagram Ibatoulline illustrates the book with exquisite color art plates that enhance the text and add depth and texture to the words. A DVD interview with Kate DiCamillo accompanies the book. If one can buy only one new children's book, this is the one. Highly Recommended.

Reviewed by Katherine Paterson.
Although Edward Tulane resents being referred to as a toy, much less a doll, most of us would regard him as such. He is, in fact, a rabbit made mostly of china, jointed with wire at the elbows and knees, so that he has quite a range of motion. His ears are bendable wire, covered with rabbit fur, so that they can be arranged to suit his mood--"jaunty, tired, full of ennui." He has a lovely, fluffy rabbit fur tail, as well. He prefers not to think about his whiskers, as he darkly suspects their origin in some inferior animal. Edward, thanks to his owner's grandmother, has more clothes, and certainly more elegant clothes, than most children. He even has a little gold pocket watch that really tells time. But the most important thing that Edward has in his pampered life is the love of a 10-year-old girl named Abilene Tulane.
Surely, Edward Tulane is a rabbit who has everything--everything that is, but what he most needs. There will be inevitable comparisons of Edward Tulane to The Velveteen Rabbit , and Margery Williams's classic story can still charm after 83 years. But as delightful as it is, it can't match the exquisite language, inventive plot twists and memorable characters of DiCamillo's tale. Edward, unlike Rabbit, has never thought of himself as less than real, he just hasn't caught on to what it means to love anything or anyone beyond his own reflected image.
Until, that is, he is rudely set off on the miraculous journey of the title--a journey that begins when Abilene's grandmother tells her and Edward a strange fairy tale of a princess who does not know how to love, and whispers in Edward's ear, "You disappoint me." And the journey ends, as any true fairy tale should, with a happily ever after. But it is the journey from pride through humiliation, heartbreak and near destruction that brings Edward to that joyful ending.
Even in the galley stage, this is a beautiful book. Ibatoulline's illustrations are simply wonderful, and the high quality of the design incorporates luxurious paper and spaciously arranged blocks of text. But a story for today about a toy rabbit? Okay, I thought, Kate DiCamillo can make me cry for a motherless child and a mongrel stray. She can wring my heart following the trials of two lonely children and a caged tiger, and bring tears to my eyes for a brave little lovesick mouse, but why should I care what happens to an arrogant, over-dressed china rabbit? But I did care, desperately, and I think I can safely predict you will, too. Ages 7-up. (Feb.)

Gr 3-6 -This achingly beautiful story shows a true master of writing at her very best. Edward Tulane is an exceedingly vain, cold-hearted china rabbit owned by 10-year-old Abilene Tulane, who dearly loves him. Her grandmother relates a fairy tale about a princess who never felt love; she then whispers to Edward that he disappoints her. His path to redemption begins when he falls overboard during the family's ocean journey. Sinking to the bottom of the sea where he will spend 297 days, Edward feels his first emotion-fear. Caught in a fisherman's net, he lives with the old man and his wife and begins to care about his humans. Then their adult daughter takes him to the dump, where a dog and a hobo find him. They ride the rails together until Edward is cruelly separated from them. His heart is truly broken when next owner, four-year-old Sarah Ruth, dies. He recalls Abilene's grandmother with a new sense of humility, wishing she knew that he has learned to love. When his head is shattered by an angry man, Edward wants to join Sarah Ruth but those he has loved convince him to live. Repaired by a doll store owner, he closes his heart to love, as it is too painful, until a wise doll tells him that he that he must open his heart for someone to love him. This superb book is beautifully written in spare yet stirring language. The tender look at the changes from arrogance to grateful loving is perfectly delineated. Ibatoulline's lovely sepia-toned gouache illustrations and beautifully rendered color plates are exquisite. An ever-so-marvelous tale.-B. Allison Gray, John Jermain Library, Sag Harbor, NY[Page 95].

February 8, 2007
Albany -- Georgia is one of just three states that bans all take-home alcohol sales on Sundays. Two bills that could change that could be introduced in the State House as early as tommorow.
One would allow beer and wine sales at stores, after noon on Sundays. The other would also allow liquor sales.
Both of the bills will leave it up to local governments and voters to decide whether or not to allow Sunday alcohol sales in their communities. Some local liquor store managers however, say they don't expect legalizing Sunday sales will make much a difference for business.
If the bill allowing Sunday liquor sales passes, workers at Lighthouse Liquors will have to come in on a day they usually have off, to keep these shelves stocked. Manager Paul Duffy says it would likely just create more work without creating additional sales.
"I think it will not increase our business whatsoever. I think it will spread our business thin. We'll have to have more overhead. We'll have to have more people working on Sundays," said Lighthouse Liquors Wine Manager Paul Duffy.
But if either bill were to pass, Duffy would rather allow liquor sales on Sundays, instead of just beer and wine sales after noon on Sundays. He says people in Georgia are used to not being able to buy alcohol Sundays.
But legalizing sales would be more convenient for customers.
"When you're busy and you don't have time to plan to pick something up, then yeah, it would be convenient that the store would be open when normally it wouldn't," said Amber Albritton.
Duffy's store will adjust to serve them.
And while local liquor stores don't think it will help them profit, Georgia's governor is yet to share whether or not he supports the legislation.
"I personally wouldn't have introduced that bill. I think Georgia's done very well, one of the fastest growing states in the Union, and apparently people like to come here. I told a young audience on radio a few weeks ago. Just think of this as good life planning, you learn time management," said Governor Sonny Perdue.
Time management that many alcohol customers in Georgia already practice, by stocking up on alcohol they need during the week.
"We have a certain amount of people in this city, and just because we're open on Sunday doesn't mean they'll start drinking more," said Duffy.
For local liquor stores Sunday sales means one less day off for workers, but more convenience for customers.
The only other states that prevent Sunday sales are Connecticut and Indiana. A recent poll showed most Georgians support legalizing sales here.
The Governor says he'll decide whether to support or veto any bills legalizing Sunday sales if they make it to his desk this legislative session.

Poured into a snifter, deep amber with two fingers of head. Looks delicious...
Pine cone and alcohol on the nose with some sweet malt...
Very hoppy with clean citrus flavors and maltiness to balance, a bit of red grapefruit...
Medium/dry body with a strong oily hop linger...
This is very drinkable despite it's high ABV, enjoy and beware!

Pours a brilliant deep amber, with a head that gets the hell out of Dodge in a hurry out of fear for its life. Big maltiness, some nuttiness, and citrus hops in the aroma, which is carried deep into your sinuses on fine alcohol fumes.
I've never had a beer that was pissed off before. This one's close. A massive wall of fruity (dried apricots most apparent) and citrusy (maybe some orange marmalade in there?) flavors, tied together with a solid underlying bitterness, assaults the tongue. Mid sip I get flavors of Thai food - maybe Kaffir lime leaves, galangal root? - for just a brief moment. It finishes with a slowly decaying melange of alcohol (no fusels at all - just wafting fumes. Impressive!), grapefruit rind, fruity malt, and toast. It's huge - it's not 10%, but closer to or just over 13% per the owner. But that alcoholic strength is SO well integrated that it's part of the whole. I've had steaks with less chewy mouthfeel. The flavors make it very drinkable, but the towering strength adds circumspection to the "Yeah, I'll have another" urge.
This beer exists somewhere in the H. P. Lovecraft netherworld between huge barleywines and huge DIPAs. And it came out of a brewpub. Impressive as hell.

Thanks to JohnQvegas for the spur of the moment growler trade. This unexpected treat poured typical darker honey amber, under an equally typical darker tan small bubble head and leaving respectable lace on the glass. Hop bomb nose is a harbinger of things to come. Well hopped, yet easy drinking DIPA. Balanced by a nice, smooth undercoating of malt, this one ends up quite enjoyable for hop head and mere mortals alike. Easily my favorite Opa offering to date. This one brakes out of the middle of road malaise which afflicted the other Opa options I have tried. Nice DIPA.

Picked up a growler on our last road trip out west w/ many fine BA's...this was our first stop and did not disappoint.
Pours a clear mahogony color w/ less than a half a finger of bright white head...very little lacing.
Smell is nice...some alcohol in the nose, with cherries, caramel, vanilla and oranges detected.
The taste is real nice...a heavily malted double, more resembling a barleywine IMO. Fruity hops galore, but so balanced that it never hits you like most doubles. The alchol is warming, but has no "burn" to speak of.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and not cloying.
This year's offering is 14% and it still is quite drinkable...I am sharing a growler w/ a few fellow BA's and we could have went through another w/ very little effort.
A fine offering from Opa Opa...look forward to next year's to see how it compares.

Honey copper colored with a low orangey-beige head.
Citrusy aroma, some honey and apricot.
Flavors of doughey malt and some surprisingly understated citrusy hops. Morphs to honey and pine, some grapefruit pith notes. Flavors overall are a bit muted and understated. ABV warmth is moderate for the strength of this beer.
Moderate carbonation, even mouthfeel upfront and finishes tingly.
Average drinkability, expected more complexity and richness of flavor.

I received this growler from ppoitras. It was sent for this cycle of Growling at the Moon - thanks for the opportunity to try this brew.
A - Slight hazy orange-amber colored. One finger of head that reduces to virtually nothing. Speaking of nothing - there was really no lacing left behind from this beer either.
S - Combination of alcohol, hops, and sweetness. At times each one takes control and flexes it own muscle.
T - This definitely should be considered a malty, sweet DIPA. Reminds very much of the last Weyerbacher Double Simcoe I had. I'm not sure what hops were used in this beer, but that is my assessment. The malty sweetness along with alcohol dominate the taste of this beer - it is 11% after all.
M - Smooth at first but the alcohol burn quickly follows. Medium-bodied but the sweetness gives leaves your mouth feeling sticky and syrupy.
D - I like this one, but the alcohol and sweetness would make this a tough one to drink over and over.

These bolder beers do get higher ratings. Here, it was fresh which is always a plus in beer, a little head,lace, medium plus mouthfeel. Good balance,not too bitter,a 1.5 rather than a double, which I appreciated, and a dominant taste of grapefruit.Incredible 14% batch. One of their better beers, appealing to all the geeks, and understandibly so.

Opa Opa is great about growlering up many of their styles and distributing them around Boston. The packie near my house always carries a lot of their varieties. I saw this DIPA for the first time and grabbed it. For $16.50 after the $2 deposit, this is an excellent value (assuming you bring the bottle back after you're finished).
Poured into a snifter. Light honey color with a decent 3/4 inch head that retains for a solid 5 minutes before dissipating to a nice sturdy lace.
Hops are at the forefront, with slight pineapple tinge. Some booze comes through, but not unpleasantly so.
Nice fruity hop flavor that doesn't leave your mouth watering from overbearing resins. More of that pineapple comes through as it washes over your mouth. Finishes with a dryish hop flavor in the back of your mouth/front of your throat. I find this to sometimes be an undesirable quality in unbalanced DIPAs (mostly west coast ones), but Opa gets it right.
Super drinkable at 11% ABV. This is very reminiscent of what Southern Tier's Unearthly tasted like in its heyday. For under $15/growler (again, after you bring your bottle back), definitely don't pass this up if you see it on the shelf. Make sure you have friends around though, as it's a bit much to drink by yourself before freshness becomes an issue.

Growler filled at the brewpub. 12.2%
I was very excited to get my hands on this one, after three tries the finally had it (or weren't out- as it is). This is a beast of a DIPA. Tremendously hoppy, a little too dry at the end for my tastes. I prefered it served on a slighty chilled glass, it just seemed to hold the character together better. What the brewer did an outstanding job on was making the monsterous amounts of alcohol in this beer. Was very smooth and very drinkable.
To be honest, this is the best deal in New England for this type of craft beer. $8.00 growler fill with $1.00 deposit.

Pours a dark, cloudy copper, with no head. Smell is distinctly floral jhops, especially as the brew warms. The taste is meant for hops lovers. It remains throughout with some nice citryus nots....alchohol is there too. Mouthfeel has a slightly syrupy quality, but it finishes clean enough. Drinkability is good, considering the high abv.

I had heard that growlers of Warthog had gotten only limited distribution in CT, and had given up on finding it when it turned up on a chance visit to a new liquor store in my area. It was not super fresh, and had been sitting on a room temperature shelf for who-knows how long, but I decided to take home the only growler that I was able to find since hearing about this beer.
It poured a dark amber, slightly cloudy, with a generous light tan head and good carbonation that was still going strong after a glass mid-afternoon, and another in the late evening. It also had a nice sharp citrus smell of hops that came through the slight head cold I seem to have been fighting all winter long.
Taste was very rewarding; nice and hoppy to start, with a strong malty presence through to the finish. I did not find it overly sweet or harshly bitter, more of a floral citrus bite trailing off into a mild caramel sweetness.
In comparing this beer to other offerings of the season, I am tempted to identify Warthog as a less explosive version of the Bigfoot barleywine. Bigfoot is really hoppy for a barleywine, while Warthog is very solidly malty for a double IPA. The big difference is that the alcohol is completely hidden in the Warthog, so that while I find Bigfoot to be an enjoyable "sipper" in front of the fire after shoveling too much snow, the Warthog is almost a "gulper", with no hint that this beer is over 10% ABV.
I am really happy I got a chance to try this beer. I have no idea when I might see it again, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend it highly.

Cheesy smell, bad hop notes with little to no malt aroma. Medium body, bitter to style but has a "fake" sweet finish. Definate boozy harshness on the pallette. Cane sugar? Lots of American hop notes, somewhat to resinous. Deep golden color with lots of haze. Expected more out of this beer.

64oz Growler served right out of the fridge and poured into various Pint Glasses
A - Poured a very hazy and murky, deep orange amber with some floating and suspended particles as well. Very cloudy with a good amount of carbonation visible a well with lots of chains of bubbles streaming up from the bottom of the glass. Upon the initial poor there was a large head, perhaps three fingers high which towered over the top. This finally settled down but not before leaving tons of sticky and gooey side glass lace and a small pillow like cushion of off white foam across the remainder of the top. A very classic looking big IPA and a very nice dark color to it overall.
S - The aroma was very big and full of deep resiny hops from the very first smell. I also noticed immediately a hint of alcohol inside of it that was somewhat hot, but this was easily overpowered by loads of hops. Deep rich pine flavors along with lots of floral orange and sugary like tangerine were taken front stage here and really showing off. There was no doubt that this was going to be a very large IPA. It had a very fresh aroma to it; in fact you could almost smell the stickiness to it.
T - The flavor was very nice. To be honest this was a very big beer, clocking in at over 11% ABV and you could tell from the very first taste. It still had some residual alcohol hotness to it, but that was fine, sometimes you actually come to expect it, and this was still a very fine IIPA. Now then, the hops were mouth shattering at times. Deep resin filled tastes, almost made your teeth stick to your gums, and was soo fresh you could chew it. Lots of sugar added to try and balance everything out, bringing out more of an orange like note to it, but this was very big and floral, really pretty classic for the style. The finish as you can probably imagine was long and drawn out and very bitter, the flavor lasting soo long that you were yearning for another sip even several minutes later.
M - This was a very nice and very fresh medium bodied ale. The carbonation as well was very good and lasted well into the end of the session. I was very pleased to here that little bit of a pop and a hiss when I opened the growler, letting me know this one was just bottled and I was going to get to try it the way it was meant to. Excellent oily and resin nature to it and just a really good example of how this one should be done. Never light at all and just a really solid offering here.
D - Well this was a little tricky. First off the flavor, carbonation, and just overall appearance were all excellent, I would have loved to have drunken this one all night long, the only problem with that was it's a touch too strong for all of that. No matter though, this was still excellent, and was definitely a sipper as I threw down two pints and I knew I threw them down, very smooth, almost deceptively so, this one will definitely end up sneaking up on you.
Overall very solid offering here and one I am glad I could try. I am the biggest fan of the style, and really think a lot can be done wit hit. This however was straight up west coast mouth tearing high IBU IIPA, except from the Northeast, you got to love that. I would get this one again any time.

I have had this beer both at the Opa-Opa facility in Southampton and for this particular review at the Brewmaster's Tavern in Williamsburg.
It was a dark amber in color with a moderate foam head. Somewhat cloudy in appearance. The nose is mildly hoppy. The attack is very hoppy and the flavor is distinctly hoppy as well, but it is tastefully done and a very pleasant beer. Very smooth mouthfeel feels "velvety" in the mouth.

Thanks to hopdog for this. We all loved it so much at the tasting that we went back for seconds!
Appears a hazy amber brown with a 1 finger off white head that lasts. Nice lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of huge biscuity, malty dough. Lots of hoppy complexity going on with with pine resin and citrus.
Taste is of the same aromas in a well done, sugary DIPA.
Mouthfeel has beautiful amounts of carbonation with perfect sweet and bitter notes balancing it out.

had this on my first trek out to Opa-Opa. Poured a dark godlen with amber hues. Decent head that left nice lacing. Great aroma, hops springing out of the glass! taste is sweet, but well balanced by the hops. finish is bitter. It kind of felt like a thick, almost chewy mouthfeel and coated the tongue. For a double IPA, this was pretty easy to put down. Dangerously so. Makes me want to go back out again, even though it's a 2 hr drive.

Poured into a US tumbler pint glass from a 64oz. store-bought growler that was purchased and consumed on 9/26/09.
A: The beer is a light golden brown color, with a large off-white head that fades very slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is a good blend of floral hops, citrus and caramelized malts
T: The taste starts with a strong burst of piney hops, which is quickly followed by sweet flavors of citrus and caramel. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy and there's a good balance. The after-taste is slightly hoppy and slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and very crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, deceptively strong kick, very good representation of style, I shared a small portion of the growler with someone else but I drank the majority of it and it was very enjoyable. This is definitely the type of beer that is worth drinking throughout the entire evening for as long as you are able to do so responsibly.

This was sampled at the CT River Brewer's Festival 2005... 8 oz. mug.
This was a dark amber, clear ale with no head to speak of, and I watched as it was poured. Nothin'.
The aroma was of very strong citrusy hops, caramel, and medium bodied malts. Quite heavy on the hops, but not too out of balance.
Taste was of INTENSE citrusy hops, some pine-like resinous qualities, quite bitter, with a strong malt backbone that was definitely up to supporting the hoppiness.
Mouthfeel was excellent... full and chewy, loaded with hops and letting you know it.
Drinkability was good, but couldn't have too much of this stuff at once.
Now that I know about this place, I have GOT to get out there.
