Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh both coaching young, talented NFC West teams is a wonderful thing. We'll be seeing all kind of bizarre facial expressions for years to come. Carroll's Seahawks are thrashing the 49ers on prime time, leading their rivals by nearly 30 points in the fourth quarter.
Seattle's coach gave the world a taste of his troll face after Doug Baldwin's third quarter touchdown.
There's got to be a chapter in his motivational tapes about that, no?

Jim Delaney's Impact on the History of the Modern World
How We All Would Have Been Better Off If Wilson Pickett Had Been B1G Commissioner
These thoughts began to percolate in the space between the hearing sensors when I was undergoing radiation therapy to for my thirty years of smoking. They make this plastic mesh mask of your face (the mesh making it less than the perfect depilatory) and then you get to lie on the table, same mask constraining your movements for twenty seven minutes. You get real close to your higher power. I don't exactly remember if this thought occurred in the fourth or fifth of the thirty three times I got to do this, but the short version is the world would have been a better place if Wilson Pickett had been the B1G Commissioner.
The Civil War
Oft forgotten (as many of the details are) in the list of causes of the Civil War was Delaney's attempt to keep the fledgling SEC out of bowl games. Even as a young man Jim realized the threat the southern schools would be to the teams who played the game right – pro style running offense for the cold weather, 4-3 defense to stop same. Bo and Woody had warned Jim about the evil force of South Carolina and how you could play with their Cocks but you better not beat their Cocks. When Jim maneuvered the rest of the BCS schools to snub the SEC and only let them play in the Poinsettia bowl, brother Spurrier threatened to secede. Had Wilson Pickett been commissioner he would have thrown his arms around the chance to send all of the cold and frigid B1G fans to southern climates where they could freely drink alcohol on the streets and lean to enjoy the experience of their teams getting serious whoopass from the quicker SEC teams. Delaney learned from this early lesson, but only bided his time for revenge.
The Spanish American War
Jim stewed and while searching for the right "eastern" school to start his plan to expand the B1G and in doing so made friends with the upstart Teddy Roosevelt. Jim loved to host him on excursions in B1G country, showing him the wilds of Hoosier land and four of the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota. An unsubstantiated rumor that Garrison Keillor was on Delaney's payroll to entertain the learned Easterner cannot be verified with conference expense reports. One night, after a prodigious day of duck hunting in Storm Lake the two hatched the most heinous expansion plan ever – Cuba. By adding the University of Havana to the B1G they could actually be SOUTH of the hated SEC! Before they could sober up, Roosevelt telegraphed compatriots who blew up the Battleship Maine. Wilson Pickett's plan was much simpler. He arranged a marketing agreement with the fledgling Coca Cola Company, and their plan was to promote the merits of "Rum and " using students at the U of H in the campaign. The sketches for the videos were awesome and usurped by the Red Stripe brewery decades later.
The First World War
Delaney was hired by the French Government in 1911 to serve as a defensive consultant (as they were known before the moniker of coordinator, which did not become popular until the 1940's) to develop a strategy to defend against the hated Germans. Jim, as his contemporary Donald Ross, did not always visit the sites of his contract but often only consulted maps and site drawings. He concocted a series of trenches to save Paris but the French Government, short on funds, did not begin construction until the actual start of hostilities. Pickett's plan, centered on live music and plenty of Beer for the Germans making them want to make love, not war.
World War II
By the 1930's the B1G was becoming a mature and substantial player on the stage of world events. Their diverse holdings included the B1G Network which broadcast many of the conference events on radio coast to coast, and to five foreign countries. They had developed robust marketing partners with such giants as Rotel and Velveeta although most of the listeners didn't have a clue what salsa was.
Jim's first jewel was to help the University of Chicago. The powerful Maroons were complaining about the cost of athletics so Delaney masterminded a huge federal contract to create fissionable material under Stagg field in off-season. At first enthusiastic, the U of C lost interest when the project failed to get second year funding and was moved to Oak Ridge. Once again the SEC and the University of Tennessee trumped the B1G. Wilson envisioned student nights at the various blues clubs surrounding the Chicago campus. This plan was adopted by the cross-town rivals the Medill School of Journalism Wildkats, but justNorthwestern had only polka and brats to offer the Armani mafia.
Several years later Delaney conspired with the Japanese government to put an end to the Jim Jones aerial offense at the University of Hawaii. Delaney worried this point barrage style of play would threaten the B1G. It was Delaney's first foray into Asian business and frankly, the contracts got a little muddled. Well a lot muddled. A little known fact is up until the mid-1950's the Japanese government was trying to get the B1G to pay for the war. Wilson Pickett would have been smart enough to stay away from all foreign entanglements for the conference.
On the Eastern Front, Delaney not only got along with Harvard, but Stalin. Old Ruthless Joe was jealous of Delaney's ability to rule the conference with an iron fist, and ruthlessly scare the other BCS presidents into submission. They vacationed together at Joe's dacha in the Crimea until the German's moved in and ruined the neighborhood. Delaney sent tons of aid to during '42 and'43, primarily in the form of the fledgling B1G media guide. This enlightening tome gave the Russian people hope for future expansion, even though many doubted football would improve their life.
On VE day Delaney was traveling to Moscow for spring break on the Volga. He had his two Harley's airlifted ahead of him, so he and Joe could have some quality road time. Jim's relationship with B1G support George Patton soured his friendship with Joe, and the motorcycles were never returned. Wilson, never a motorcycle fan, never would have hung out with Joe either.
The Korean War
A little known residual fallout from the unrequited love of Joe and Jim was the fledgling North Korean shoe industry created as an alternative funding stream for scholarships. The feds had flooded the market with their "G.I. bill" after the last war and Delaney was just covering all bases. The conference was stinging from the departure of the Maroons, and considering a number of options to make the numbers right. Initial focus groups showed a repulsion to the "big nine" The North Koreans nose got bent out of shape because 2,000 jobs were shipped to the south to take advantage of lower wages. Delaney, always the master of negotiation, had a solution almost in place until SEC wannabe Douglas McArthur (who attended the US Military Academy because his football scholarship at the University of Florida was pulled due to academic issues) stymied the efforts to end the conflict for personal glory. Wilson was consumed with the west side of Detroit, trying to convince the best talent to go to Michigan State, newest member of the big 10 instead of the stodgy wolverines.
Richard Nixon was in the throes of stealing a national championship from Joe Pa in 1969 when Delaney conceived a plan to end the war. He had learned his lessons from messing around in the Far East (both Pearl Harbor and Korea had hardened any desire to do business west of Lincoln) and with his late night drinking buddy Henry Kissinger envisioned a world where the SEC would be given everything south and west of the B1G. These were small TV markets. A soon as instant replay was available Jim was poised to turn his massive radio network into a TV powerhouse. Always a visionary he had already joined forces with the fledgling cable industry and begun discussions with a young Al Gore to use his "internet" as a tool to insure B1G supremacy. Wilson was in the midnight hour, mustang sally, land of 1,000 dances and a somewhat funky rendition of "Hey Jude" with Duane Allman. With Pickett in charge, Champaign would have truly been Animal House.
The First Gulf War
After formally adding Joe Pa Delaney was tasked by the first Bush (#41) to develop a strategy with Stormin' Norman (not where Stoops landed) to rid the world of the evil Saddam. He had determined no one was smart enough to challenge him over the B1G actually being B11. He rejected the suggestion of Hayden that we could Hokey Pokey them into submission, and turned rather to Woody's ghost, with whom he consulted frequently for a "Plan B." Going out on a limb he offered Saddam safe harbor in Ann Arbor and was close to pulling off. The plan was nixed by Bo who wanted the evil to be diverted where it belonged, Columbus. Wilson had some personal legal issues, nothing worse than some of the Hawkeye football drinkee and drivee stupidity, and was unavailable.
The Second Gulf War
Nearing retirement, Jim was tired and drained when George Jr. (#43 for those with a scorecard) asked him to strike back at the home of terrorism.
(Political Content removed). Wilson was sick and dying,,, although making one hell of a comeback with Only The Strong Survive.
Recent Activity
Delaney proved he had the largest set on the planet when he set the entire college sports world scrambling for the bunker with his expansion plans. With Wilson Pickett out of the way, he could move with impunity first feigning a move to sixteen teams, gutting both the B12, Big East and laying waste to the athletic landscape. After numerous lemmings jumped into the sea, he settled by adding Tom and the boys from Lincoln. Texas called his bluff, but Delaney lives to fight another day.

Happy Friday! Today I am going to share a quick little tutorial on how to make these adorable pom poms from simple baker's twine and a fork. There are so many fun colors available in the baker's twine and mine collection is from The Twinery's online shop. Using a simple dining fork or even a salad tong for a larger pom makes this a fast eye-catching topper for any gift or colorful party decorations. The ideas on where to use these are endless. I am now imagining making a pom pom garland for this party. So cute! Ejnoy! ~ Lia

I didn't notice this anywhere on the blog, so I thought I'd post this article from the 4-letter network. Seeing as he had UGA as his leader before he could decide to retract his commitment I take this as a very positive sign. Consider that he brock his FSU commitment for a lack of realtional development, I don't know how Kirby could top what has been offered by Georgia in the next few days.
Apparently the young recruits are buying what Grantham is selling. Maybe the Miami linebacker commit Matthew Thomas gets the same inspiration to ditch a Sunshine State school for a chance at collegiate ball in Athens. If they preform at high enough level they might earn a freshman tandem-nickname! Am I getting my hopes too high for Mattvin Thellomas?

Skallywaggs Review | Board Game Reviews by Josh
Skallywaggs Review
After a fun weekend of gaming, it is time to start writing up some reviews. First up is Skallywaggs.
Skallywaggs is a simple pirate game in which each player is trying to get enough pirates in his crew in order to be able to set sail with his ship. In order to do this, each player matches up different cards representing a pirate's legs, chest, and head. If the player is able to play a set of these cards that are all for the same pirate (such as the "First Mate"), then they will get bonuses and it will be harder for their opponents to disrupt that pirate. Finally, there are also cards that allow a player to perform actions other than just simply matching.
There is not too much to this game, so I will keep the pro's and con's section fairly abbreviated. When thinking of the pros and cons of this game, unfortunately, it's biggest pro is that it's "cute." This is a game that may attract some people because it seems neat at first (and is fairly inexpensive), but the pro's really stop right about there.
The biggest con of this game is that its not particularly fun. All of the game mechanics work, but after about the third turn I was tired of playing the game - unfortunately it lasted closer to 20 turns before it was over. After discussing it with others after the game concluded, I realized that they didn't find it particularly fun, either. The strategy consists primarily of holding cards in your hand until you are able to match a pirate, and then hope that your opponent doesn't immediately get rid of that pirate on their turn. It really just did little to hold our attention.
Overall, Skallywaggs receives a 5.0/10. This may be a game that children may be able to enjoy, but for the most part, I would recommend that you look at other games instead of purchasing this one.

I was the other involved in the game and indeed did not overly enjoy it. Unfortnately it shall now collect dust on my shelf. I just wanted to add that this is a rather classic "snowball" game, in that once you start losing it becomes increadibly difficult to turn the tide. Maybe it would be different with more players, we just played 2 player, but I doubt it would get a lot better.ReplyDelete

Golf ball, baseball, even grapefruit sized hail! That's how Hitchcock residents described what ruined and shattered most of their belongings and vehicles.
By the early morning hours many residents were already up and assessing thousands of dollars worth in damage.
"It's been swamped, customers, stories, crazy ... everybody lost their cars," said Diane Gonzales owner of El Sombrero Cafe.
She explains how the hail storm that blew through last night has been the talk of the town and with no time or electricity to cook, everyone's been hitting up her place.
"If you go to the back the patio, all of it...just torn to pieces everything.," said Gonzales.
Gonzales tells us the rains led to flooding.
"Well, in the corners and the walls, water was just everywhere" said Gonzales.
Meanwhile, around the corner, David Morales and his family were trying to dry out.
"Very exciting, put it that way," he said while pointing out a gaping hole in his son's bedroom.
The storm only lasted ten minutes but that was plenty of time to shatter windshields and beat the outside of Morales' home.
"It was daylight coming through this morning and all these windows, all these blinds were blown out. See where the hail was coming through," Morales said while walking us through his home.
That's not all, this storm packed a punch and it appears most vehicles took the brunt.
"Some of them are actually totaled, but I mean, you know customers are coming down here...they're just looking at them and really can't believe it either," said Reginald Dwayne Johnson owner of an automotive shop.
Johnson says despite most residents feeling caught by surprise this close-knit community is now cleaning-up together with just one thing on their mind.
"I was just shocked, but on the other hand I thank God cause it could've been one of my guys out here," he said.

Global Warming and Climate Change: In the Tunnel with Uncertainty and Skepticism Part III
This is the final installment in a discussion about global warming and climate change that questions the reliability and accuracy of prevailing theories. It is intended to promote continuing dialogue on issues that remain unresolved. The debate is not over.
Hear no evil, See no evil: One group with a shriveled spirit of inquiry objects to Global Warming skeptics being heard at all. Charles Krauthammer's recent column, "The Myth of settled science" - 2/ 20/14, appeared in the Washington Post and other news outlets despite the efforts of 110,000 Tweeters trying to stop the publication of "climate lies." Is this the way we should deal with dissent? Ban it? Maybe we should just throw dissenters in the slammer. A Rochester Institute of Technology professor, Lawrence Torcello, has proposed a way to settle the debate on global warming. He suggests that scientists who do not fall in line should be charged with criminal negligence.
• The bandwagon is slowing: According to a recent Gallup poll, only about one-third of Americans see global warming as a significant threat to their way of life. The percentage of people who do not see global warming hampering their lives has doubled since Gallup's first survey. This is despite a barrage of hugely complicated assertions about a catastrophic new world of blistering temperatures, a rise in sea level of 12 feet or more, and massive storm activity to come.
• Earth and sun. Does natural planetary and solar activity dwarf the alleged human-caused factors? According to Nature Magazine, May 8th: …" University of Washington atmospheric scientists have estimated that up to half of the recent warming in Greenland and surrounding areas may be due to climate variations that originate in the tropical Pacific and are not connected with the overall warming of the planet."
Warming observed over the past century may actually be the continuation of a longer-term trend which began in about 1700 AD, before anthropogenic influence with greenhouse gases became appreciable. Some scientists say this longer-term trend is attributed to natural fluctuations in solar activity.
• A symbol in peril: The polar bear is said to be on the brink of extinction because of global warming. The photo of the seemingly stranded bears on a melting ice floe that would eventually cast them into the water to drown, certainly provokes sadness and outrage.
A television program called "Media Watch" discovered that the photo was taken in August, when the edges of the Arctic ice cap melt regardless of global warming, and the photographer was a marine biology student who didn't think the bears were in any danger because the coast was close and they could swim to it. Polar bears may or may not be imperiled. The data are uncertain, partly because more than 200 of them are killed every year by hunters.
• The role of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide is so complicated that you will probably be glad that I have decided to avoid the issues in near entirety. I will only note that most measurements appear to place China securely in first place on billions of metric tons of CO2 emissions, followed by the United States, India, Russia, and Japan. IF you support the Gore version of climate science, I hope you will consider that even if the United States somehow managed to meet the President's demand of a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions, there would remain the nearly inestimable challenges of eliminating the 15 billion metric tons contributed by the other four countries, as well as drawing accurate conclusions on how much CO2 emanates from the natural processes of the planet compared to how much humans contribute, and how much must be reduced to significantly affect the climate.
What's the worst that could happen if we're wrong? Secretary of State, John Kerry.
The burden for some would be crushing. Increasing radicalization of regulations on industry and personal behavior will cause suffering beyond our power to adequately assess it. Strangling middle class jobs (about 75,000 of them in the short term) in an already challenged economy is bad; coming close to wiping out the livelihood of entire states is worse. "We're getting the living crap beaten out of us," West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said last year. "There has been nothing more beat up than coal."
A subject for serious consideration should also be, "How much are developing nations going to suffer if the climate change juggernaut advances unimpeded?"
This column has turned into a lengthy essay and it could easily be much much longer. There is so much to explore, so many issues to analyze, and so much riding on our ability to figure this out. In my opinion, those who raise questions about the science of global warming and climate change should have far more comprehensive exposure than the media currently accords them with the incessant refrain that "the debate is over."
At long last, The End, and some words from Michael Crichton:
• "I want to talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results."

An Albany pastor says he is praying for the burglar who broke into his church and stole a big screen television.
Liberty Parkway Church of God pastor Ralph Horne says someone threw a piece of asphalt through a window early Tuesday and stole a 60-inch T-V they kept in their educational building for the youth.
"We just hope that God will get ahold of them and will see and hear the word of God," said Horne. "And their lives will be changed. And they will be more like him. Then we won't have to worry about this stuff."
The church is taking steps to improve their security. They estimate it will cost more than $3000 to replace the TV.

We watched three shows in a row,and each episode had made insulting comments towards Indians. We were turned off and sadly won't ever watch Big Bang Theory again.

Does Mellisa Rauch actually sound as she does in the series, or is the voice put on?
Shocked , 04:07 Dec 12 2012.
It's a little late to be getting your panties in a bunch now ladies. This show has already done drug use, alcohol abuse, violence against men (which no one said a word about), racial stereotypes everywhere, and a ton of sexual situations. This show is for mature audiences, so do us a favour and mature a little.
Mark , 03:35 Dec 11 2012.
Bernadette and Amy need to go on a trip . Need more of just the 5.
Ginny F. , 12:53 Dec 8 2012.
"to CBS and Big Bang..........please keep it clean......the spanking thing was inappropriate........kids are watching." I agree with this. It is going down hill as far as content. Love the charactors, but keep the sex crap out PLEASE!!!
Barbara , 16:35 Dec 7 2012.
Spanking-Not funny, dudes, between these 2 characters. Makes Amy even more pathetic than she already is, we want to like her! Just icky.
yama , 16:22 Dec 7 2012.
really amazing show keep the good work
Ankit Jain , 12:15 Dec 7 2012.
After a fantastic run of fresh ideas in Season 6, here comes a pitfall. I hope its a one off thing and such script is not going to be on screen again. What's wrong with it ? Well everything. I am a big fan of the series and I really find it dis heartening that the writers have written a script that doesn't go at all with the uniqueness of the show. Writer guys, lets huddle up and write something remarkable for the next ones as we all have high hopes, for these high hopes you are the one who are responsible, because you have the capability to give us such a fantastic entertaining 6 years so lets not loose the track now. :-)
g , 05:21 Dec 7 2012.
Awsome eppisode, I loved all he Shamy interactions! It looks like s Sheldon is developing more feeling for Amy :) The spanking scene was quite akward and wierd but still hilarious. No matter what anyone says the writer have still got it! :D --
JJ , 23:08 Dec 6 2012.
This was the worse episode ever! Have the writers run out of ideas ....

Rated 5 out of 5 by MBmom from Nice star sheets I purchased this sheet set to coordinate with the solar system quilt. I like that the design has a contemporary feel and should work for both younger and older children. The quality of the sheets as far as softness and durability seems good.

Rated 3 out of 5 by snow white from Low thread count = rough feel I purchased these sheets to accent the "wizard" theme in my boys' room. They look great, but are only a 200 thread count, which left both of my boys saying they feel very rough, even after being washed. At this price point, I'd expect a higher quality sheet with a more comfy feel. I recommend the look, not the feel.

3.03/5 rDev -29.9%
Copper body with very little khaki colored head.
Strong smell of granny smith and cortland apples mixed with red wine. Carmel opened up as it warmed. Some plastic-y acidity. It basically reminded me of a carmel apple.
Taste was nothing like the nose. Lots of spice up front. Without even knowing what was in it I could tell there was nutmeg and cinnamon. I picked up some vanilla as I searched more into the flavor. Very light sourness. Hard to pick out the pumpkin although there is a squash like flavor beneath the spicing. After taste reminded me of lemon juice cut with water. Any vinous character that the wine barrels gave to the beer was washed out by the spicing.
An interesting sour that fell flat in its complexity.

Waited a long time to try this one. Got this one straight out of the whale's vagina.
Smell is pretty good - I get some barnyard funk and a little bit of sweet allspice. Lots of wine.
Taste is sour lemons and red wine.
A little too sour and too carbonated, but some nice biscuit in the finish.
This is a decent beer, but nothing special. Not worth the hype.

3.35/5 rDev -22.5%
22oz Bottle available at O'Brien's. $16. Served in a Chimay challis.
Pours deep orange and brownish. Very little head but good retention. No lacing. Really interesting color, not many beers I've seen are this weird orange color.
Smells like lacto and maybe some table sugar. Might be some ripe apples or grapes and spice in there too. I think the age has lost a lot on the nose.
Tastes sufficiently sour, but not overly tart. Some grape juice and pumpkin along with pumpkin pie spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg dominate the flavor profile. Mostly dry and no alcohol is detectable. Not much acetobacter, but a small twinge of vinegar is noted.
Mouthfeel is medium to light body and moderate to high carbonation. The pour suggests this would be less carbonated, but the body had a good amount.
Overall an interesting beer that I wouldn't mind having again. I didn't love it, but not a bad sour for what they had in mind.

3.5/5 rDev -19%
Appearance: Pour is amber with a smallish head, little lacing:
Smell: Mostly general sourness with some vinegar and a non-descript spice mix.
Taste: Apparently the main ingredients are Pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. I might get a faint hint of cinnamon and nutmeg but not really. I guess if I close my eyes and pretend I can maybe get some pumpkin, but I am not sure I would get even that if you didn't tell me to look for it. There is a apple cider (vinegar) element to it; wassail or something.
Mouthfeel: medium body, perhaps a bit thin, carbonation might be slightly aggressive.
Drinkability: weird beer, I wish I could at least pick up some pumpkins. Would not do it again.

Poured into a snifter
A: Amberish ruby red in color with a ½ finger white head that has poor retention and minimal lacing.
S: The nutmeg and cinnamon make a faint appearance, but not much at all. There's no pumpkin to speak of. There's mostly sour acidity, and some yeasty funk on the nose.
T: For me the nutmeg and cinnamon don't come through in the taste. The wine barrels come though partially, but not very much. This beer is mostly a medium intensity sour that has characteristics of cherries and blackberries. There's a little bit of woodiness, but not much.
M: The aftertaste doesn't really linger as I'd like it to, the carbonation is a bit low for the style, and the body is appropriate.
D: For a 5% beer this has a lot of flavor. With that being said, I find it fairly one dimensionally and not all that interesting. It was nice to try once, but I probably won't seek this out again.

Best Damn Sour Fest
San Diego, CA
Strange combination of blood orange and ruby. There's a very thin head and this beer doesn't leave much at all down the glass in the way of lacing.
Very mild aroma consisting of a slight sourness and a earthy component, though there simply isn't a lot here to smell.
There's certainly more to taste here than smell, and for that, I'm happy. There's a mild stinging sourness throughout along with an earthy, root, and floral character. There's certainly some Fall spices in here as well, but I'm sure they're quite muted compared to the fresh version of this.
Thin to medium bodied with very low carbonation.
This is an interesting, and above average sour. It was worth trying, but I have no desire to seek it out again.

Ichabod 2009
Allawelsh night continues with Ichabod.
Poured into LA Stemware.
Pours a light layer of white head. Color is a ruby with a rustic red hue to it.
Aroma: Pumpkin spice, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spice. Some sourness, but mainly spices.
Taste: More sour and tartness here, but still a ton of spice. Gingerbread men take this beer over. Pumpkin pie, cinnamon bits, and nutmeg. It also has a sourness, but I have no idea where it comes from it. It is kind of wine like, but still I can't figure out where the sourness comes from.
Mouthfeel: Spiced and tart. Medium bodied with a low to medium amount of carbonation. Ends fairly clean, surprisingly.
Overall, this is an interesting sour/pumpkin beer. It is decent, but very odd. I think a 1/3 bottle will be enough for me. I think it is somewhat drinkable, but I think I would pick out a different beer given the choice.

Bottle. Poured into a tulip glass a clear, dark copper orange color with a white collared head. The aroma is weird and odd at the same time, notes of spice and pumpkin dominate the nose on this along with some sour/tart notes. Wow, the taste is way different than the nose with a sweet tart taste that then has a long drawn out flavor of pumpkin, nutmeg, and gingerbread. I actually am really surprised how tart this is at the beginning. For a pumpkin beer this is one of the better that I have had. I think I prefer my sours to be fruit based rather than vegetable based.

Bottle shared at the December Santa Cruz tasting. Pours a light copper color with a disappearing white head. Aroma is mainly lactic sourness. Not a whole lot of pumpkin to me really. Flavor is lemony with a meringue-like sweetness, cidery acidity, and a slight bretty chlorine note. A little heavy on the barrel aspect. Pretty good but maybe a third tier sour in the grand scheme.

Jeff saves the day again. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a light pumpkin orange with a finger of off-white head that quickly faded into a thin collar that left no lace.
S: Tart nose, lightly funky with a touch of fruit and maybe a hint of pumpkin. Smells a bit flowery as well.
T: Light funky and tart notes of fruit, spice, and a hint of lemon zest in the finish. The pumpkin isn't prominent, but I do get a nice shake of pumpkin spice. The finish is vinous, and the aftertaste has hints of cinnamon and other spices.
M: Medium body, a bit dry, smooth mouthfeel with only a touch of acetone-like alcohol.
O: Really good but a little bit of a letdown for me. Still I enjoyed this and would gladly drink it again. Thanks again, ipa247.

Graciously shared by mistakebythelake (thanks Bill!) at a Jackie O's tasting. At first I scoffed, thinking "pumpkin beer!", but I can admit I was wrong. The maker of arguably the nation's best west coast IPAs has made a VERY good wild ale here!
I got a nice pour, due to quick reflexes and some generosity, and it was really good. It's a medium-dark copper color, clear with a little haze, with a poofy white foam that wasn't long for the world. The aroma was brett-forward, tart and funky, with no discernable (to me) pumpkin. Maybe if it warmed more gourd subtleties would show themselves, but that wasn't to be. Too many bottles needed to be opened in a short time...
I tasted quite tart, not extreme, an accesible sour ale with the chops to satisfy any level of sour ale drinker. I get more grain notes than pumpkin. Maybe a little spice in the aftertaste, but it's hard for me to peg and I really might be reaching. Delicious in any case, and unexpectedly so.

Bomber into a Weyerbacher tulip. Thanks to whoever it was who shared this at CdC.
A: Chill-hazed orange body; wispy off-white bubbles. Ok.
S: Actual pumpkin (as opposed to pumpkin pie spice), spicy clove, and moderate sourness. Strange, and all right.
T: Much more sour and vinous than the nose, with the gourd coming in midway through. Huge lactic sourness on the finish. Tasty.
M: Light body, moderate froth. Solid.
O: Interesting beer, but not one I'd seek out. I liked that the pumpkin came through in its own right, but actually would have liked the spices to play a slightly bigger role.

Thanks, Shane.
Hazy copperish-brown with a small but lasting head. The nose is both spicy and sour. Nutmeg comes through fairly well beneath the fruity sourness, though I don't get any pumpkin. There's a strong vinous character as well, and a sour plum-like fruitiness. It's vinous on the palate, fruity with flavors of plums and red grapes. Spices come through well, and there's a doughy malt backbone. The finish is fruity, mildly sour and spicy. This is a nice easy drinking sour, nothing spectacular but very enjoyable.

Bottle shared by Paul at Oakquinox.
A: The pour is amber in color with a large off-white head.
S: A mild vinegar aroma with plenty of red wine. Tart red fruits, and plenty of cherry aroma. There's a nice oak aroma and a minimal amount of funk. Don't really get the pumpkin or the spices, but I'm not surprised.
T: Moderate tartness with a touch of vinegar. It becomes a bit more puckering as it warms up. Plenty of red wine and oak flavor as well as a bit of red fruit. Sour cherries and vanilla make an appearance as well.
M: Medium in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: Quite nice. None of the Alpine sours have been over the top amazing, but they've been at least good.

Thanks Shane for the bottle. Pour a very pretty peachy plum color with a medium white head. Heavy red wine barrel on the nose, a fair dose of brett, wet wood, strawberries, some stone fruit. Very tart in the mouth with a spritzy feel. The sourness here is intense and overwhelms the barrel, which I think is actually a good thing. Cherries and red berries, peaches. The finish is really sour, fairly acidic. I'm kind of comparing this to Cantillon Kriek in its high sourness and acidity, though this is less dry and the wine barrel comes across a bit more. Nice.

Bomber thanks to largadeer.
Pours hazy reddish dark amber with nice tan bubbly foam sitting on top and decent lacing.
Aroma is nice and -baly with red wine, sweet caramel, pumpkin spice, and oak
Great tart red wine flavor, pumpkin and spice, oak barrel, and funk. Restrained tartness.
Medium-bodied with just the right acidity level and medium body.
Solid offering from Alpine, better than the unintentionally sour batch.

Liquified presents The Manufactured Superstars feat. MOGILL and LOS
On Saturday, July 9th Manufactured Superstars, individually known as Brad (aka B-Rad) and Shawn founders of Beatport stopped by the QUAD for what was sure to be night of high-energy dance remixes and electronic music mash-ups.
With Atlanta's EDM scene growing larger and more diverse this duo couldn't have chosen a better spot on their on-going journey, performing nation-wide. Let's backup for a minute and recap the night from the very beginning. If you have never been to the QUAD before you'll notice the underground rave-style atmosphere of this unique venue.
When ATL Nightlife arrived on the scene there were two distinctive sounds heard from the main room and the smaller basement arena. With the venue slowly filling up we took time to listen to both performers. The younger audience seemed to congregate in the lower level of the QUAD and was aggressively dancing to a young Dubstep DJ. After giving this young man a shot we felt it was best to investigate what the main room had to offer. In the main-room DJ MOGILL was spinning a more expansive set than his normal variety. To our surprise another member of the Reboot family was present in the booth, the closing DJ and winner of Genre Attack the night before, DJ LOS.
With some time before The Manufactured Superstars took take the stage, ATL Nightlife was granted an exclusive opportunity to interview both members of The Manufactured Superstars, Brad & Shawn. The two gentlemen were extremely down to earth and were looking forward to playing in Atlanta for the first time. I can't tell you all of what was said in the interview because that would spoil our upcoming video feature. I can tell you that their passion and generosity was remarkable for such accomplished people in the EDM world.
As it was time for take off, Manufactured Superstars took the stage and immediately demanded the attention of the crowd from within the entire venue. With the signature robotic voice stating, "You are listening to Manufactured Superstars", their two and a half hour set had officially begun. The one unique characteristic with all of The Manufactured Superstars sets is their unmatched ability to create an experience of sounds featuring mash-ups, remixes and original tracks of their very own. As more and more tracks played throughout the night the crowd would yell with positivity, urging them to play more and more. The tracks of the night included remixes and mash-ups from Daft Punk, Robyn, MARRS, Madonna, Adele, Cee Lo Green, Skrillex, The Killers and much more. Don't worry Manufactured Superstars fans, they played their popular single, "Take Me Over" right off the bat, which proved to be a surefire crowd pleaser.
As the smoke began to clear it was time for Manufactured Superstars to closeout their set and turn it over to the closer – DJ LOS. Little did we know that The Manufactured Superstars actually used DJ MOGILL's hardware set-up and even autographed it personally! What a great way to end their set, huh?! As more and more glowstick carrying youngsters entered the room the party definitely didn't stop. While battling a more rave like atmosphere DJ LOS definitely brought his unique big house sound to the QUAD once again. As mentioned before DJ LOS had won a cut-throat competition the night before and certainly carried the momentum through the end of the evening.
Overall the night was a fusion of musical creativity and collaborations from local to international talent. On twitter The Manufactured Superstars stated, "Thanks ATL it was a fun night we will def be back soon." They even were gracious enough to give a shout out to DJ MOGILL. We welcome The Manufactured Superstars back to Atlanta with open arms and look forward to more singles off their upcoming album.

The second half has kicked-off at the Allianz Arena, and early Inter Milan is showing life. Thiago Motta, 20 seconds into the half, comes from his deep midfield position to take the ball off Franck Ribery, and while his foray into the final third is stood up by the back line, it's the type of aggression we saw from none of Motta, Esteban Cambiasso or Dejan Stankovic in the first half.
Soon Bayern is back on the ball, working it down their left flank. Danijel Pranjic is able to play a ball for Franck Ribery, cutting in from the wing. From 25-yards out, Ribery is able to threat a ball through the channel to the right of Andrea Ranocchis, though the ball is a little too heavy for Mario Gómez to retrieve before Júlio César can swallow it up.
In the 48th minute, Bayern's going down their right, getting behind the Inter line before playing the ball back across the middle, and oncoming Bastian Schweinsteiger running into a 22-yard shot hit right at César.
Now in the 49th minute, Inter is still chasing two goals.

NEW MILFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Some New Jersey towns have imposed a Halloween curfew in the wake of recent reports of attempted child lurings.
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent after 8 p.m. on Oct. 30 and Halloween in New Milford and Dumont.
A 12-year-old in Bergenfield on Monday became the 15th child in Bergen County since mid-September to claim he was accosted by a man in a pickup.
Police say the recent spike in attempted luring reports may simply be misunderstandings fueled by media frenzy.
The Record newspaper reported Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin Fox told residents the number has exceeded anything he has seen in 35 years as a police officer.
Lyndhurst police determined two boys made up a luring story earlier this month.
NOTE: These are towns that have provided curfew information to Fox 5/My 9.
New Milford - 8pm on Halloween and night before
Dumont - 8pm on Halloween and night before
Alpine - 7:30pm on Halloween and night before
Closter - as of right 9pm both nights, but officials are still figuring out exact details
Cresskill - 9pm both nights; police will sound whistles, anyone under 18 has to be off streets
Woodcliff Lake - 9pm both nights has a longstanding curfew that begins at 9pm on the night before Halloween and on Halloween
Washington - longstanding 9pm curfew the day before Halloween and Halloween day; urging people to stay inside after dark
Franklin Lakes - 10pm to 6am curfew both nights
Old Tappan - 8pm anyone under 16 not allowed out without adult supervision on both nights; already had a curfew in place for years
Garfield - 9pm both nights for anyone 18 and under unless supervised by an adult
Westwood - 9pm both nights same as every year
Fairview - 10pm curfew all year long, not just for Halloween, but will be enforcing it those two nights.

Harrington Park - 7pm both nights anyone under 18
Hasbrouck Heights - 9pm both nights parents encouraged to keep kids home the night before Halloween and to have kids supervised on Halloween

A word from Circa 1886
Chef Marc Collins draws inspiration from many cuisines around the world to create a menu that is truly unique to the Charleston restaurant scene. Drawing inspiration from historic Southern dishes and always highlighting what is local and in season, Chef Collins puts a healthful, distinctive spin on classic Lowcountry dishes. This means there is less butter and cream than typically seen on Southern menus. Whole grains are incorporated to dishes and ingredients are used at the peak of flavor. The result is satisfying dishes that retain their bright, bold flavors without the large amounts of fat found in many restaurant dishes. From our Plantation Rice Bread Rolls made in house daily, to the selection of local seafood, to Pastry Chef Lovorn's incredible desserts, each dinner at Circa 1886 celebrates the region we call home. Let our professional, attentive, experienced and knowledgeable staff guide you through the menu and help select a wine that is a perfect pairing for food and budget.Continued

- Excellent, Romantic, Quietprof555Dined on 8/19/2014Excellent service and outstanding food in a lovely atmosphere! I have enjoyed this place for several years. Try the antelopeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Circa is a bit stuffy.DebandgreggVIPDined on 8/12/2014Charleston is a foodie town for sure with many great restaurants (e.g. Husk and SNOB). When compared to these great tasting and great ambience restaurants, Circa simply is not comparable. Our food was good, but not great; and, though it sits in another of Charleston's fantastically historic buildings, it is nonetheless a stuffy atmosphere. There are simply too many other great restaurants at this price-point, and therefore we will pass Circa on our next visit to town.
- Amazing!pattonjwDined on 8/9/2014This was one of the best meals I have ever had! The food was amazing and so was the service. I very highly recommend Circa 1886 and will be returning soon.Special Features:
- Great cuisineJazzmanVIPDined on 8/6/2014Food is great with unique menu. Had chicken fried halibut, really great. Unfortunately, an appetizer of deep fried sweetbreads was bland, suspect would have been far better sautéed. The foies was terrific, though small portion. Service was very friendly but slow and irregular with difficulty obtaining water refills and bread on table. Not up to Michelin star standards for sure. But overall, a fine meal in pleasant surroundings.Special Features:
- Is truly 5 starBergyDined on 8/5/2014The ambiance, service, menu and presentation make this restaurant one of the best. Couldn't have been more pleased.Special Features:
- FoodieVIPDined on 8/1/2014Seated 30 minutes after our reservation time- hostess neglected to tell us our table was ready. Food and wine seriously overpriced-appetizer substandard and when we said something our previously friendly waiter "disappeared" and a promised correction never appeared . Decor very good- one entree terrific, one satisfactory. The attitude seemed to be that we were tourists and they would not see us again soon so it doesn't really matter- bartender was an exception. Seeming indifference and inconsistency in food-esp at supposedly upscale restaurant -makes it hard to recommend
- Excellent service, unusual menuBiskit20Dined on 7/30/2014We dined here for our 20th anniversary. The service and atmosphere were perfect for the romantic evening I had planned. The wait staff was attentive yet not hovering, which was wonderful. The menu was a little eclectic for the style of restaurant we thought we were in. The chef's creations were pleasing to the eye and the flavors were exercises in polarities. Some of the combinations stretched the palate - not always in a good way. If you want traditional upscale southern cuisine this is not the place. Food may have been a little too contemporary for the surroundings. It felt he was trying too hard to be creative and it came off a little pretentious. All in all a good experience but not sure a return trip is in our future.Special Features:
- SensationalLaurieDined on 7/28/2014Food was amazing and service was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still our favorite...cobracatDined on 7/28/2014We ate here last year and had to come back when we visited Charleston again this year; we were not disappointed. We had the crab cakes and the chicken fried halibut as our entrees. Both were excellent. As expected, the service was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My new favorite restaurantswbozzyVIPDined on 7/25/2014My wife and I went away for a long weekend in Charleston. We were looking for a very nice restaurant to enjoy a night out without the kids. Circa 1886 was the perfect choice. Everything was wonderful. Many unique and creative dishes that looked and tasted great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Circa 1886... Circa Unbelievable!!"albert91Dined on 7/25/2014Staff is very friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the menu. Jason our server (fantastic!), recommended the Chef's dinner and wine pairing which was absolutely Unbelievable!!. Each course showed the talent and passion of the chef and its artistic presentation was second only to the breathtaking flavors of the course.( do not be shy to try the Antelope..It is Delicioso!! ) The selection of wines for the pairing were perfect for each course and the dessert (Strawberry Souffle) was the perfect closure to one of our best culinary experiences.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good night outmjhpghDined on 7/24/2014Every time I visit Charleston on vacation, my wife and I take a night out away from the kids and find the best restaurant possible for just ourselves. This was one of the best experiences we have had. Service was helpful but not over bearing. Prices were affordable considering the quality of the food. The wine list provided plenty of choices within a broad price range. The setting was quiet and relaxed. The menu had plenty of choices that made the choice difficult. An appetizer, 2 meals, 2 desserts, and a bottle of medium priced wine for $140 was well worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The BESTtommybDined on 7/21/2014Probably one of the best overall dining experiences we have EVER had. Yes......it was that good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent MealExpatfromBahrainDined on 7/19/2014We enjoyed a most memorable meal. The setting, service and dinner were all outstanding. Recommendations by our waiter were all A+ - it was an excellent evening.Special Features:
- Amazing!!WonderfulVIPDined on 7/19/2014My husband and I were looking for a restaurant in Charleston we hadn't been to yet and always noticed Circa 1886. The service was awesome and the food surpassed our expectations! We felt very appreciative when the dessert came and they acknowledged our anniversary! It is definitely going to be one of our favorites!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid StandardHalseyStreetGuyDined on 7/17/2014Charleston probably has more great restaurants per square meter than any city of its size in the country, and Circa 1886 is in the top tier. The cooking is adventurous, and the staff is superb. My only slightly negative observation is the room itself. It's a very quiet space, which in a town of noisy restaurants, is a nice change, but it's so quiet that you feel as if you're intruding on neighboring tables if you raise your voice too much. And the decor is dull. In a city with such a competitive restaurant scene, I worry that it's falling a few steps behind.Special Features:
- DeliciousdeloresdayDined on 7/16/2014The desserts here are fantastic and go beyond what I initially anticipated. Very filling and very tastySpecial Features:
- Great Evening!GratefulDined on 7/16/2014Outstanding! That is the one word I would use to describe the evening, the atmosphere, the services, and the food. The staff at Circa 1886 were excellent and they made our evening special. We celebrated our anniversary and the pregnancy of our third child. I was able to contact them and plan the evening out and the staff delivered with style and class! They were the best and everyone made it their duty to stop by and wish us congratulations on both the anniversay and the pregnancy. The food was excellent! I had the antelope cooked medium, and my wife had the pork chop cooked medium well. Both were seasoned to perfection! Everything from the soup to the desert was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic birthdayHHJHDined on 7/12/2014We were very impressed with the unique combinations of flavors and beautiful presentation. Our waiter was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingTksnooksDined on 7/10/2014Outstanding food. Attentive and friendly service. The antelope entree and the croissant donut dessert were incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Far from the madding crowdOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/10/2014Circa 1886 may be Charleston's most civil restaurant. Far from the hustle and bustle of East Bay and King Steet, it is not part of a restaurant row. But that's what makes it so special. You can engage in conversation without shouting (what a difference), the food is imaginative and the service professional without too much fuss.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always impressiveFineDiningFanDined on 7/10/2014We dine here several times a year. Try the chef's tasting menu with the wine pairings. You won't be disappointed! We've never had a bad dish. We've gone with friends, and there's something for everyone. They're always willing to accommodate dietary restrictions. Atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, not stuffy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SupurbItsAboutTheFoodDined on 7/9/2014Creative menu with wonderful execution and and superior service that isn't too stuffy or intrusive. Overall, a truly delightful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/9/2014Food was good but a little too "unique" for my taste.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite in CharlestonTheophanuDined on 7/9/2014I've been trying out the fine restaurants of Charleston, and Circa 1886 is definitely my favorite. I've dined there three times now, and it's always been perfect. I love the quiet atmosphere, good service, and excellent drinks. But what keeps me coming back is the food surprises. Every time, the menu has included food pairings that are unusual, sometimes even sound bizarre---but that are absolutely wonderful together. The place is a delight.Special Features:
- Romantic Fine DiningSherylfayDined on 7/8/2014This was our second visit to Circa 1886 and it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere elegant and the food delicious. The chef is clearly experimenting with textures and flavors and for the most part it was all quite successful. Particularly notable was a salmon sashimi appetizer that included watermelon, truffles, celery gelee and jicama. These all combined to form a tantalizing first course. Our main dishes were equally delicious: a lobster poached monkfish in a lobster bisque sauce was amazingly good, although the popcorn on top was unnecessary and distracting. The chicken-fried halibut was a surprising twist and quite good. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant & one of Charleston's best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!!!Maryfaith84Dined on 7/8/2014As out-of-towners it can be difficult to find a great restaurant, although after done online research, we decided on Circa 1886 due to the "old charm" it seemed to offer. The restaurant was incredibly beautiful and clean. The food was absolutely wonderful, and our server Charles was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best RestaurantGatorMomDined on 7/5/2014During our weekend stay in Charleston we went to FIG, Circa, and Husk - Circa was by far the best dining experience and had the best food. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. The wine pairings were a little weak, but other than that, everything was wonderful. We will definitely be going back,Special Features:
- ExcellentMontclairdesignmomDined on 6/27/2014I've been to Charleston twice & made a point of coming here each time. Very inventive cuisine- chef is excellent. Great service, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend. Excellent choice in an already foodie town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Circa deliciousnessCityOfComptonDined on 6/27/2014My wife and I were in town, and wanted to find a very nice dining experience in Charleston. We settled on Circa 1886, and booked a table a few days before heading into town. The ambiance and staff were great and extremely knowledgeable. The food was fantastic. The chef here does a fabulous job. The winelist, while not mind-blowing by any means, was solid. Highly recommend this place for any occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unforgettable eveningDomingoVIPDined on 6/26/2014Circa 1886 is a beautiful carriage house, serving an impeccable delicious and very well done menu, matched by a very knowledgeable and service oriented staff. I will come back to it every time in Charleston.Special Features:
- Good but not great!RichDined on 6/26/2014Circa 1886 is a special place with good food but not great, my wife and I dined there last Thursday. We found the food inventive and tasty but a bit over the top in its presentation. Her dinner had far too much happening with a pesto sauce then a thyme emulsion atop the entree. I had the antelope and this was wonderful, our starters were good but the scallop sashimi was overpowered by the watermelon. We enjoyed our dinner there but would not return.Special Features:
- A Special Place for a Special DayOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/26/2014We took our 23-year-old recent college graduate here for his birthday dinner. Even though he is young, he is an appreciator of great cusine, especially of locally grown foods. He notices and revels in small details, and Circa 1886 saw to the smallest of them. The food, the service, and the ambience were all of top quality, and our evening was perfect. We'll be back the next time we have a special occasion in Charleston. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/25/2014Really enjoyed the chicken fried fish. What a treat. The entire evening was most enjoyable. The service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overall great experiencechefisch80Dined on 6/25/2014Very much enjoyed the food! Andrew was a very attentive and informed (he did his research) server. Made us feel very welcome. The pace was a bit slow but we were celebrating and did not mind really dining versus the usual Chucktown turn and burn. As a chef myself I really appreciated some of the ideas, the pork was cooked perfectly and the flavors were on point. Thanks for making a special day really great for us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice dinner & accommodating cheffoodforthoughtVIPDined on 6/25/2014We stayed next door at the inn and decided to walk over for dinner. Very nice experience with good food and service. Torched scallop, 3 bean salad, strawberry/cream soufflé were standouts for us. Chicken Fried Halibut was on the main course menu and I asked the chef if he could instead just sear the halibut and finish in the oven: no problem for him and fish arrived just the way I wanted it with his sides (probably 2000 less calaries!). While not my top pick in town, we would eat here again on our next trip.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Meal in CharlestonbobrDined on 6/23/2014Food is eccletic, fresh from the farm with beautiful presentations. It is the best food we have eaten in a long time. We wished we were staying in Charleston another evening.Special Features:
- Very special night!BostontravelerDined on 6/23/2014My wife and I recently had dinner at Circa 1886 and the food was fantastic! The appetizers and entres were all incredibly creative and clearly the work of a very talented chef. My appetizer was shaved scallops on cubed watermelon with a delicious drizzle that made the dish come alive. The monkfish entre was perfectly cooked and served with a unique medley of beans and sauce. We were so excited to see what was next! The atmosphere was very quaint and great for a quiet romantic meal rather than a large group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ProposalKyle717Dined on 6/21/2014Circa 1886 turned out to be the perfect post-proposal romantic outing that capstoned an amazing and memorable night. The atmosphere was amazing, the wait staff and hostess were awesome, the flowers I ordered were set out perfectly, the food was delicious, and the setting was perfect. I highly recommend Circa 1886 for any romantic outing! I will certainly be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
