Brooklyn Lager
It is absolutely unbelievable that we haven't reviewed this beer until now. We have had the pleasure to taste over 200 beers, some quite hard to find, and here we are just now commenting on a quality brew that has been available at our local grocery store for years. This Brooklyn's signature brew, created well over a century ago. I guess when you find something that works you stay with it, and stay with it they did. This beer has a rich, malty mouthfeel and the coffee flavors are balanced with a hoppy effervesence. It is similar to english-style lagers, but with less of a metallic aftertaste. This makes it less abrasive and more drinkable. This brew has class written all over it from packaging to the beer itself. It's simple yet sophisticated so if you're looking to drink a few leisurely beers reach for this lager from Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Oktoberfest
This pour produced the frothiest head thus far. This beer is riddled with bitter sweetness but the berry flavors do linger like they do with the Sam Adams. The metallic undertones stand out between sips and accentuate the hoppiness I think Brooklyn was going for. I have much respect for this brewery so my impression may have been skewed in the positive direction. This may not be the best beer of the evening but I feel it is the "boldest", most manly beer of the 5 reviewed. While I can see myself drinking some of the others at social events I think I would reserve this brew for my favorite past time, relaxing on the couch watching football. -Matt
In my opinion, this is probably the most refined and least accessible Oktoberfest brew thus far. The pour on this one is typical of the genre, but the aroma has some interesting characteristics. While there still exists the malty sweetness, there is also a noticeable presence of dark cherry and even a bit of grape. In the mouth, this one is much smoother in the front of the mouth – hardly any burn. Through the mouth the beer is complex, moving from a light sweetness to a sharp bitterness and then to a more subtle sweetness of dark fruit on the back of the tongue. While there are a lot of flavors involved, they all melange wonderfully for a smooth and refined interpretation of this genre.

Dotting I'sJuly 29, 2009 12:23 AM My email box was still buzzing while I was down after wisdom teeth removal. Here are some of the goodies.
I still have a couple of questions pending about these items, so I expect to have more to say on each of the photos above. Next, a quick flag pole update.
I swung by the Legion in Richfield a few days ago, and the old Met Stadium flag pole is still there in all its 100-foot glory. My contacts there tell me that one scheduled removal date came and went with no activity, and another has not yet been scheduled. While the flag pole represents barely a dot on the "i" of Target Field, it sounds like all parties have put in a lot of effort to make this special connection to Twins ballpark history happen. I'll let you know when I have more details. Last week was the 75th anniversary of the truck strike and labor riots which took place in the Minneapolis warehouse district. More specifically, the riots were centered around two downtown locations. The first of these was the labor union headquarters, located at 215 South Eighth Street (now occupied by St. Olaf Catholic Church). The second location, the city market, was much nearer and dearer to our hearts because it was on the block now occupied by Target Plaza. Here is a picture of the National Guard on duty on Second Avenue North at North Sixth Street (the corner where Target Center, Butler Square, the B ramp, and Target Plaza all meet). The buildings in the upper right of the picture occupied the block where I-394 now roars, and above which we will saunter to baseball games next summer. Channel 4 did a short retrospective on the anniversary last week (which was overshadowed by the 40th anniversary of the moon landing). It also includes mention of another restaurant closing in Block E. And, before I forget, our friend Shane was featured last week on the WCCO news talking about the new web site dedicated to the history of Memorial Stadium. The site is way cool. Budget a fair amount of time before clicking here. Thanks for stopping by today, and for keeping the discussion interesting while I ice my cheeks for another day or so. CommentsTo utilized enhanced comment features, please enable cookies in your browser. Thanks so much of the pic of the view level stairs. This is much different than I had imagined it. I get the design to try to keep the upper concourse open. However, I'll say I'm mildly disappointed at 20 stairs up to a catwalk, and then going up from there for those of us in the view seats. I'm sure the tradeoff was either a closed concourse up top, or a third concourse up top, both of which I am sure would have been rejected. I'm sure its just something we'll get used to. Mind you, I'm only thinking of my own personal comfort as I try to balance a pork sandwich and a beer back to my seats, as I'll be doing tonight. It is my understanding that the "catwalk" is only being used to go over the warming areas. Looking at webcam 2 the last stairway to the view seats appears to go directly from the concourse to the opening in the stadia. I am not sure if anyone put this up yet but there are some very nice pictures here on the MN Ballpark Authority site for the July installment. I didn't time it but I think the slide show is about 3-4 minutes long (there is no way to pause it that I can tell). I especially like the panorama pic at the end. My mouth is definitely beginning to water! Posted on July 29, 2009 at 10:49 AM by DeePee 3 Looking more closely at some of my old pictures it does look like there is a ramp leading to the "catwalk" on either side of the warming huts. These disappear further down the line once you past the huts. Nice pictures Rick. Posted on July 29, 2009 at 11:12 AM by Camden 4 Wow .. they are really making good progress on the seats in the lower bowl as of late I've updated the article with a couple of other tidbits I collected last week. Posted on July 29, 2009 at 1:05 PM by Rick 6 Rick - hope you're feeling well. I had all four wisdom teeth removed a year and a half ago. And I also went 4-for-4 on dry sockets. WORST TWO WEEKS EVER. You should have changed your name on that post to The Tooth Hurts. Dee Pee, You can pause the slideshow by right-clicking and then de-selecting the check mark next to "Play". Also, if you want to save the pictures (and are using Windows) just press the PrtSc ("print screen") button at the top middle/right of your keyboard. COME TO THE SEVILLE TONIGHT FROM 10-1:30!!!!! Wanda: Are you dancing? Give us a clue what you look like. May have to stop by after the Twins finish off the Whiteys... Anyone else wish that there would be ivy growing up the batter's eye behind the evergreen trees? It would be a very nice touch...It just looks so plain to me right now, like the batter's eye in Pittsburgh... Thanks for the plug, Rick. There is a lot of excitement for the Brickhouse site. Interestingly enough, that is the second time WCCO has interviewed me about a stadium. Here is an interview about the Twins stadium: http://www.wcco.com/video/?id=16436 Man did I ever get in trouble for that one. People actually wrote in to President Bruininks after it aired asking him to fire me. Good times. Posted on July 29, 2009 at 3:25 PM by Shane 13 A couple of (unrelated) questions: 1. Why two 1B on the "all dome" team? I believe one of the two first basemen got an "at large" bid. Meaning they were probably going to put them both on either way. I believe Justin got the "at larg", although Herbie, God bless is overweight, duck-huntin' ass, is a far cry from the Slugging Canadian. But I guess World Series trophies produce endorphins. Rick, Watching the video of the flag pole, I noticed you attracted the attention of every dog in the neighborhood. I wonder if maybe Morneau won the vote but the Twins - for whatever reasons - just could not leave Herbie out. I don't remember voting for a fifth infielder. Someone please clarify. The team needed a dh anyway, so who dh's morneau or herbie? I believe I heard that Hrbek got the most votes but they just couldn't leave off Morneau because he got a ton too. And I believe they put Molitor as the DH. Giants traded Alderson (#4 Giants prospect) for Freddy Sanchez. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that Morneau received more votes, but it's hard to leave off a guy whose face adorns the large curtain out in the second deck. But I have no idea. I really have no problem with any of the All-Metrodome team selections. And I'm glad people recognize how important Knobby was to Twins. Even if he is a weirdo. And dang. I would have really liked Sanchez. But Alderson is pretty highly praised. And the Pirates don't have to pay any to the Giants. That's a good deal. We probably couldn't have topped that. Nope, we couldn't have topped what the Giants offered. In fact, I know a few Giants fans that are pissed that they had to give up Tim Alderson. I think Freddy Sanchez is Brendan Harris with a higher batting average. Not much power, not much speed. Definitely not worth trading a potential #2-3 starter. I'd still like to see us land Orlando Cabrera, but seeing how much the Giants had to give up to receive Sanchez, I doubt Billy Beane would let us "steal" Cabrera. The A's did want Valencia, which tells me Beane is a complete idiot, and no wonder the A's are attracting only 3-4k a game. I admit, I don't know the farm system the way a lot of guys do (by choice after getting excited about Terry Tiffee and Boof Bonser) but I can't see dealing a guy who is as touted as Valencia for a VORP neutral middle infielder like Cabrera... I was disappointed on Sanchez, but if they were asking for the #4 prospect... he's not worth that for what he brings. However, they need to figure out how to get Matt Capps from the Pirates. Orlando Cabrera has been touted as clubhouse cancer. I don't want him anywhere near the twins dugout. I don't know if I ever got an answer to my question about the flagpoles above the HRP stands in left field below the scoreboard. What flags are these flagpoles intended to fly? What're you, a John Lithgow preacher character, PNB19? I say everyone must cut footloose. According to my Twins rep, the Twins will start taking deposits on 2010 season tickets on Aug. 24. You're going to be hard pressed to find a bigger Giants fan than myself. I follow the team religiously... (I grew up on the west coast) The Freddy Sanchez deal is a great example of how the Twins and Giants are at different ends of the baseball spectrum: 1. The Giants make deals. They have to pay for their own stadium ($20 mil per year mortgage) and they know keeping fans interested and buying tickets is vital to keep $ coming in. 2. The Giants want to win. Not that the Twins do not, but both teams have great farm systems... only one gives up prospects to try to win NOW. I love to know that "my" team is working hard to improve. Garko isn't the most amazing upgrade, but he's better than Ishikawa. Sanchez is a huge improvement. Also, the Giants already have 2 top ten pitching prospects in their system, as well as a rotation full of young talent. The Twins don't do things "the wrong way". They just do it "their way". As a fan, I love seeing an aggressive move now and then. Sabean has missed at times (ie Nathan-Lirano deal), but his overall track record is very solid in SF. I hardly see the Giants as a model organization. They've been pretty two-faced regarding Bonds, and for a team that really wanted to win, they sure don't know how to infuse ANY power into that offense. Garko and Sanchez are minor improvements, and they gave up their #2 and #3 pitching prospects for them. Sure, they have Lincecum, and Cain has been better this year than he ever has, but what beyond that? Sanchez isn't that good, Johnson is done after this year, and Zito's contract is the biggest albatross in baseball. In my opinion OG Jeff, you have to considered that the Twins have just lost Slowey and possibly Liriano for some time. The Twins could not afford to give up much in terms of pitching from either their starting rotation or their farm system. Also, I would be extremely upset if the Twins were willing to give away their top prospects, in an already thin farm system, for Sanchez. Sanchez isn't worth the trade for Valencia or Hicks, which were some of the names that were brought up. The Twins just could not have matched the prospects that the Giants offered. Sanchez would of made a difference, but not worth it in the long for what the Pirates wanted. Dan, It's not yet known exactly what will fly on those little flag poles. Click my name for the image of them in the animation. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 11:57 AM by Rick 33 Webcams are down. Maybe there's a TF heist in progress! I'm still interested in the amount of foul territory at TF, does anyone have a definitive answer on that, and compared to other parks? Thanks Second least amount of foul territory to only Wrigley Field. twins territory, thanks, i have read that too, but every source that i read that at I cannot really trust, so i was kind of looking for the location of some official size measurements. Papi too? It only makes sense when he took off like he did in Boston after leaving Minnesota. The 2004 series is turning more and more into a blemish for Boston. This really is getting disgusting. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 12:41 PM by DeePee 38 Can anyone HONESTLY say that the news that David Ortiz tested positive is shocking?? I'm not surprised. He has a gigantic head. I'm waiting for Pujols to get nailed. He seems unnaturally large. :-) I am not surprised actually. Just sad more than anything else. We were all so damn bamboozled there for so long with all of them. At least, as people brought up on the comments section of the Strib, that the Twins are vindicated for getting rid of Papi. My theory on the view level "catwalks" is that they are needed more on the first base side because it appears the concourse is simply less spacious than on the 3rd base side. If you look at web cam 1, you can see that most of the consessions buildings on the 1st base side of the view level have "notches" cut out to make room for the verticle stadia/canopy supports. When they were completing the 3rd base side, I don't remember seeing as many of these "cutouts" in the consessions structures, leading me to beleive that side is a little more spacious than the 1st base side. This is likely due to the proximity of 7th St. just below the 1st base side. You can see from web cam 2 that the view level stairs on the 3rd base side do not require the "catwalk" configuration. I heard Dave St. Peter say it when the Twins played in Chicago. I'm not aware of any measurements out there although it'd be cool to see comparisons. after the game last night we went over to TF for a short tour, its been a year since my last one boy does it look nice the concorses are HUGE! and the view of downtown is great at night... we took like 3 pics and i hope to get them from my buddy this week but i was in lala land but we had to be quick...the "herc side plaza" is bigger than i thought and can hold alot of people...sat in a seat down the 3rd base/outfield side.. there just the backs and arm rests but it was cool none the less..stay tuned for pics... i did not have my camrea this was not planned but my buddy had his crappy one... Are we to assume trespassing laws were broken last night? the key difference between target field and wrigley field in terms of foul territory is that target field won't have the bullpens in foul territory like wrigley does rather they will be in the outfield. so that in my mind - and i think the players minds - will make a huge difference in terms of being able to field foul balls at target field. regarding maz - we are to assume two things: 1.) trepassing laws were broken 2.) large amounts of alcohol were also consumed beforehand. ;-) am i the only one who can't wait for the bullpens to get moved? every time i see morneau chase a foul pop i'm terrified he's gonna mangle himself on the bullpen mound... Maz, you are the original ninja. Can't wait to see those pics! Beta, 2) of course.... Truth hurts, lets not think negative, ... Thanks Rick, I just didn't know if I had missed an answer to that along the way. However, just curious if there are any theories about what might be on them (AL team names?). I didn't count how many are actually there. I also took a tour of TF yesterday but it was the one sponsored by the Sencible Land Use Coalition. As the event attracted well over 150 folks, tours consisted only of the first leval due to time constraints. I got the chance to sit in one of my seats for next year (in the right field corner) and it should be a great location to watch a game. I was struck by how "small" the park seams to feel compared to the HHH. I found out there will be a smaller pro/retail shop just inside of the LRT gate, they plan on hosting kids games on Target Plaza, wheelchair/handicapped seating areas on the concourse will have great views and will be the most in MLB, the Metropolitian Culb has a great large pannel made up of the same colors that were on the brick walls of the old Met and there is still no plans yet for a team history spot or HOF either on site or at the Ford Centre. Back at the open house reception after the tour I had the opportunity to view displays by Mpls city planners, the MN Ballpark Authority and a few contracted consulting firms. Mpls is in the middle of an update to the ballbark area's zoning regulations. A draft of these changes can be found on the city's website. All in all, I had a great time! Posted on July 30, 2009 at 4:01 PM by Sammy from the Midwa 52 I think the Twins are going to end up writing the book on handicap accessibility for a ballpark - folks in wheelchairs are going to have better seating options here than anywhere in MLB I'm sure most of you have seen the new Marlins computer renderings-but oh my gosh am I glad we in the Twin Cities are not getting a piece of crap like that thing.I am like all of you guys -a baseball purist who thinks outdoor baseball is the only way to go, but I was nervous for a while that we might get something like that. I hope someday I can meet some of you guys and experience a Twins game together. The Ballpark Authority has the July monthly meeting minutes up. Click my name for the link. The information listed below is what I found most interesting from those minutes. MBA staff continues to meet with the City of Minneapolis and representatives from the Minnesota Twins on the Transportation Management Plan to develop plans for pedestrian and traffic movement around the ballpark. The TMP is in its final draft and the City of Minneapolis Public Works Department has committed to lead the event management committee. Discussions continue on exterior signage and way-finding improvements beyond the ballpark footprint. Project Partners are working to finalize scopes on district improvements outside the ballpark. Work continues on finalizing scope around 7th Street by HERC. MBA staff is also working with Hennepin County on 3rd Avenue now that there is grant money involved. Target Field will have 820 disabled seats as compared to the Metrodome's 190 seats. The Ironwood e-pay (a renewable resource) shipped from South America is drying in a kiln in Wisconsin. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 4:29 PM by Jeff 55 I don't mean to sound insensitive but are there that many handicap people going to baseball games? Are 5 times as many handicap people going to show up and buy tickets because we have the seats now? I'm all for it if it's previously been a problem in the dome or elsewhere but I just don't want it to be like those stores that have 20 handicap parking spots that are all empty. Seeing them work on the sub-field brings up a question - does anyone know where the batting practice cage and other such equipment will be tucked away? I'm assuming the infield tarp will be rolled up just past one of the dugouts, as per usual. I also wonder where the clay/dirt for the infield base paths/pitcher's mound/home plate area is coming from. Groundskeepers are anal about these things - when they were building new Comiskey (or whatever the hell it's called these days) the groundskeeper had the infield dirt dug out of old Comiskey and reused in the new park. He wanted to make sure it was the same stuff, with the same effect on ground balls, etc. There was a great article about it, and groundskeepers in general, in SI about 10 years ago - click on my name. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 5:31 PM by Expectorate 57 Wow - 820 vs. 190. I didn't like the wheelchair seating at the dome -they are good views, but positioning wheelchairs in there seats was so difficult. Eric - there are probably too many, but at the same time, for the first time to my knowledge a fan in a wheelchair will have access to every level of seating at a ballpark... CJ - That is right. See the link for what Twins fans can look forward to for next year regarding weather forecasts. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 6:09 PM by jfh 61 Eric - spend a few weeks in a wheelchair and you might think differently. Been there, done that. The options at the Dome for those who are mobility impaired are HORRIBLE. I don't know if the Twins have gone beyond what is required by the ADA, but it is nice to see that the options at Target Field don't relegate the handicapped to second-class status. As for large numbers of seats going unused, I suspect the Twins will do what most clubs do and open most of the remaining seats to the general public day of game. I'm more worried about the reverse problem - able-bodied folks buying ADA seats because they are the "best available", denying those that really need them and their companions those locations. I suspect this hasn't been a problem at the Dome simply because of the lack of seats (and I think only one Lower Club section has any ADA seats). jfh, that's my plan...i have my wheelchair on order as we speak. Weather gal is hot, but needs a little work on her delivery... ... anybody irked by the fact that there are 800 handicapped seats vs. 39,000 regular seats needs to re-examine themselves. The Dome's handicapped seating is horrible and probably keeps a lot of people home. Hopefully this gets more disabled fans to the games. Having been in a wheelchair for a few months after a bad accident gave me a whole new perspective on just how poor accessibility is for the disabled as a whole. In case anyone is interested, Coors Field has about 1000 ADA seats, so that's about the same percentage as Target Field will be, so I suspect the Twins are pretty much following the ADA requirements. Funny video. She actually says "...at the Metrodome" immediately before giving the sky conditions for the game. Posted on July 30, 2009 at 9:09 PM by Rick 66 The ADA requires that at least 1% of the total seating capacity will be used for handicapped seating. Target Field and Coors Field offer twice as much handicapped seating than is required by the law. jfh, I knew someone would take it wrong. I did not mean any disrespect and as I noted I did not know if what the dome had was normal or not. the only thing I'm going after is the fact that I've been to a bunch of ballgames(mostly astros) and I think I've seen one handicap person there(not that I've been really looking for them). I'm sorry for sounding rude I just thought that a 450% increase sounded high but I guess it takes us from really bad to acceptable. I was also going by the parking spot concept in which I for some reason never see anyone ever parked there. sorry again, plus I spent 6 weeks on crutches which is pretty horrible. Eric - don't worry about it. I didn't take it as disrespectful. I'm sure many thought the same as you. As for the folks you've seen, remember that not everyone that needs ADA seating is in a wheelchair. :) Bottom line is as you say - we go from really bad in the Metrodome (which also restricts some folks just because of the steepness of the stands) to Target Field that will be state of the art and exceed requirements. So my wife was lucky enough to chat with Nathan and Guerrier last night... she asked them which bullpen they were going to choose at TF, and it sounds like they'll take the back one. They commented that they were a little disappointed how small the bullpens were. They said the design reminded them of Angel Stadium, except less spacious. Then again, anything is better than the hump dome. I'm guessing you didn't have to worry about leaving your gal alone with Guerrier. With his aim, he'd end up with his d!ck in the nightstand. (drumroll) Thank you, folks. I'll be here all weekend. Try the veal. The Orlando Cabrera deal is still alive according to ESPN's Buster Olney. No mention on which prospects we would have to give up. Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:18 AM by Lafferty 75 I cant believe the progression on the seats this AM, when i left the office this morning, they were still on the a section of seats in the lower deck, and when i checked again a minute ago, another whole section has been put in on the 3rd base side! Simply Amazing! Speaking of weather, this is something I put together a few weeks ago... Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:51 AM by Twins Territory 77 Breaking News!!! Cabrera is a Twin Posted on July 31, 2009 at 12:27 PM by Strongred 78 Yawn. BS made it to keep the players happy. As a fan, it really doesn't show me anything. He's a minor upgrade for 2 months. Personally, I don't know if he'll affect our chances at the playoffs at all. He'll be gone at the end of the year. He's crappy defensively. If someone said to you at the beginning of spring training that we had signed Cabrera, would you have been excited? He's 34 and just a fill-in for the rest of the year. We made a trade, but was it more to improve the team or to keep the players from revolting? I'm in the camp for keeping the players happy. Ladendorf wouldn't have been up here for at least 3-4 years according to Seth, but he's supposedly one of the top 15 prospects in the organization. For all the talk going into the draft this year about how bare our minor league system was of middle infielders, I'm trying to figure out why you trade away one of the better prospects there. You couldn't give up a pitcher or an outfielder? Posted on July 31, 2009 at 1:07 PM by ML 79 If the only trade made is to acquire Cabrera, I'm not sure that the players are going to be happy about this. The bullpen has been a problem for over a year and no serious moves have been made to address that. I realize it's not much but it appears that the guys wanted him, and it's better than not doing anything. I figure thats what we would've ended up with in past years. I'm glad I'm going to the game tonight so I don't have to listen to Dick'nBert blather on endlessly all game long about what a HUGE deal this is and how much he brings to the team. Sorry folks but he's yet another temporary rental from the dust bin. Here's hoping I'm wrong! Last I checked....Cabrera doesn't pitch.....WE NEED A PITCHER BILLY!!! ML, you think he's crappy defensively!?! He's won 2 gold gloves! He has 116 hits and is hitting 280, he's a huge upgrade over Punto (Tolbert, Casilla). Plus he's been on World Championship teams. If you're looking to win this year, you have to look at this as a good pickup. Its a upgrade.. let him play short, move b. harris to 2nd and if crede can play more than 1.5 games a week then thats a decent hitting infield... but yes it does read major trade...but this as good... judging by the last few trades billys stupid ass has made we are lucky he did not trade mauer for orlando.... and send punto or casilla packing.... we only need one of them and right now looks like punto is the man cuz he can play everywhere.... yea a .280 avg vs a .190 is a upgrade no matter what you say.. and he makes just a lil more than punto Reports are that the Twins are very interested in Bell. Angels and Dodgers seem to be leading with the Twins in third. Reports say the Twins are trying to add a reliever in the last 30 minutes. ML, you think he's crappy defensively!?! He's won 2 gold gloves! Dude, Gold Gloves, really? It doesn't sound like the Twins got any pitching help at the deadline. This is big time trouble as the bullpen and starting rotation were desparately calling for reinforcements. I know waiver wire deals are still a possibility, but the ever penny-pinching Twins are unlikely to take on somebodys overpriced salary to do so (otherwise other teams are likely to put in claims to block a potential waiver deal in August)... IMO Heath Bell would have been a terrific addition. I know his stock was potentially at an all-time high, but the guy would be NASTY in the 8th inning setting up Nathan and would be under team control thru 2011 I believe. The list of highly touted prospects who have flopped or not lived up to the epic expectations is incredibly long.... Peavy to te Pale Hose? May not mean much now but in '10? Looks to me like the Tigers and White Sox stepped up in the race for the AL Central while the Twins treaded water per is usual in a half-ass move to placate the masses. How long is Peavy under White Sox control for? Man Kenny Williams is a great GM... Peavy has an ERA around 4.00 in the NL....Odds are he gets torpedoed in the AL next season....Besides, we'll have an awesome Billy Smith offseason....I'm not worried!!! I just checked the Whiteys have him thru 2012 for 56M and thru 2013 for another 18M if they pick up his option. Seems like a lotta ching. Glad the Twins have a lefthanded heavy lineup... I like the deal. We traded a guy who was just promoted from rookie ball for a 2 time gold glover who's hitting .280, and a much needed bat in the number 2 hole in the batting order. What is there not to like. Geez, ya got give something up to get something in return. And this is a steal imo. Not so fast on Peavy. First, he won't pitch before the first week of September and it's 50-50 or worse that he'll pitch this season. They have $74 million invested in him, and their attendance has been hurting. Plus, as mentioned, he had a 4.00 ERA in the NL which is widely considered a pitchers league. He may be good for them in the future, but he may be a huge failure. To say they stepped up in the race (at least in '09) any more than the Twins isn't true. The most promising deal of the day for the Twins. (Victor Martinez to the Red Sox!) Now the Sox won't be pushing as hard/or at all for Mauer in 2010 if they have Martinez in their lineup. Which now only leaves the Yankees as potential Mauer Stealers. If that's the case, The Twins will have to counter with at least the same offer as the Yankees and put it in Joe's court to make the decision to leave. If they undercut it, and try for the hometown discount and he leaves. They might as well implode Target Field. In regards to the trade. I think the Twins did okay, plus I think that they also got cash in the deal too. It can't get worse than Punto or Harris can it. I was really hoping for a starting pitcher, that is what I thought was needed the most. On the webcam right now it looks like something fairly large has spilled in the left field-box seating area. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Harris ? Harris is fine. Got an arm like a cannon, has better range than people say, and is dedent hitter that doesn't seem to go into long slumps. Starting pitching at the deadline is crazy expensive... I'm fine with the Cabrera deal, it addresses a need, but the Twins likely didn't even have the prospects to get most of the pitchers available... Guess you gotta hope that's just water from somebody cleaning something. (It first appeared about an hour ago.) Posted on July 31, 2009 at 5:00 PM by Rick 108 I think you're right, Rick. It just caught my eye at first glance. CJ: Not true. It is simply a matter of valuing your prospects to protect your future instead of "going for it" THIS year. The Twins are notorious for overvaluing their own prospects. I do agree that being a SP buyer at the trading deadline is not for the faint of heart. Teams often request a kings ransom and get it from some desparate GM. The real problems are in the winter months when Billy and Terry have sat idle watching other teams attempt to improve their deficiencies.. The system is flush with guys who are attractive to other teams including but not limited to Anthony Slama, Jeff Manship, Rob Delaney, Aaron Hicks, Ben Revere, Rene Tosoni, Angel Morales, Wilson Ramos, Kevin Mulvey, Deolis Guerra, etc. etc. The Twins also have a few guys on the Big League squad who were being asked about in trade chatter... So it would've been okay to overspend to get Freddy Sanchez, but not okay to get Cabrera? They are almost the exact same player except Cabrera has more speed, and Sanchez will hit for a slightly higher average. The biggest difference though is that SS is considered a premium position compared to 2B. When was the last time the Twins had an above average SS, Greg Gagne? From what I've read and heard, most of the 'experts' think the Twins made a very good move. As of now, I agree. We could still find middle relief help on the waiver wire, BTW. Max, you can say the Twins are unwilling to give up prospects, but even big market teams were. Take for example Heath Bell. The Angels and Dodgers joined the Twins in not making a deal because San Diego wanted so many prospects. I like the Cabrera deal mostly because it's the polar opposite of the last deadline deal the Twins made. In that case, Luis Castillo was sent to the Mets to clear the way for, cough, younger talent. But it took the wind out of the team's sails. In this case, there is simultaneously a talent upgrade AND a sense of putting some wind into the team's sails. I bet the clubhouse is pretty happy about this. (They would have been happier with additional news of pitching, but you can't have everything.) Add to this the fact that all Smith had to give up is some prospect I've never heard of, and I have to say, "Well done, Bill." Posted on July 31, 2009 at 8:35 PM by Rick 113 Tyler Ladendorf isn't even ranked as a top 30 prospect in the Twins system according to Baseball America. Another reason why this is a good trade for us. Great game tonight....good thing BS didn't shore up the bullpen with anything....we sure as hell don't need them as evidenced by tonight's game.... Oh, what's that I see....never fear Twins fans...Jesse Crainwreck is coming in. Completely agree Kev in az. The only move that BS made was demanded of him by the players and fans. We also needed pitching ignoring that will cost the Twins. He's worthless....completely worthless....forget about giving BS kudos for the Cabrera deal...any idiot would have pulled the trigger on that deal if all they had to give up was a no-name minor leaguer. Good for us that our favorite idiot pulled the trigger on that no-brainer of a deal. Keppel? Worthless.....Crain? shave that turd off of your lower lip and loosen the ugly noose that you wear around your neck, maybe you wouldn't choke so much. The closest that Billy Smith should be to TF next year is the HERC plant, unloading garbage from smelly trucks. It can't be easy to be Gardy these days, but why send Keppel out there in the 11th? It looks like a white flag. Don't Crain or Dickey look (marginally) better in that spot? And I hate seeing Nathan in the 10th when the score is tied. Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:08 PM by Rick 118 Kev, What is Gardy supposed to do??? Can't blame it on the bullpen???? um, leadoff, 4-pitch walk to start the 11th....yes yes, I should say this loss is on the bullpen..... don't like keppel starting the 11th? Crain not a good option either?....well, who stocks the bullpen???? BILLY FUCKING SMITH!!! I'm just saying that there was lots of time without any offense... Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:17 PM by Rick 122 Rick, you know I love ya, but 5 runs should win you a game if you have decent starting and relief pitching....at this point, we don't. Oh yeah, I'm right there with you on the 5 run thing. But the bullpen only gave up 1 run -- before the 11th! I guess my original point should have been: Wouldn't it have been nice if Gardy had another solid reliever to allow the bats another inning or so to wake up? (The bats, however, seem to have opted for hibernation after the 4th.) Unfortunately, the patch for this year's pitching sieve was probably more than a single transaction away. But I'm definitely with the crowd that wishes we'd seen something on that front today. That's probably the feeling in the clubhouse right now too. Posted on July 31, 2009 at 11:29 PM by Rick 124 Especially after that six-run 11th inning. Holy Toledo! By the way, do really need the profanity here? I know people are frustrated with how thing are going lately, but these aren't mere slips of the tongue. We're typing, for crying out loud. We CAN control our reactions to things, can't we? We do have that much self control, don't we? ok, winona... the dang bullpen couldn't hold onto a flippin lead if it were handed it with a friggin vice-grips. what a bunch or horse-pucky. is that better?

Do you mean plain silicone? Can you recommend a brand? That sounds like a good solution! Thanks. |
That shower has seen better days. It may be time to demo and redo. |
Well I'm just a homeowner, I would scrub out the area where things are missing, use a scrub brush or old toothbrush if you don't have scrub brush but you need a scrub brush since you are worried about your family's health, the mildew in the grout is not good for any of you especially if you have allergies, So fix the broken area by cleaning it out as good as you can, I'd use comet since it has bleach & maybe buy a mildew remover(smell strong) tho they are only good for about 1 time & basically they are bleach so might work better to use bleach & save your money, can pour a little bleach in small container & dip your brush in & scrub that area good, wipe out with old washcloth to remove all bleach or Comet(do not use together-chlorine gas can kill you) when area is clean & dry use a tube of bathroom caulk, comes in a soft tube,5.5 oz last time I bought it- cut the tip at angle & cover whole area & lay your pieces in way they should be & press down until even with the rest & way it used to be& wipe away excess caulk & clean off tile, leave it to dry for 24 hrs. This should take care of that problem but you should use the scrub brush & try to remove some more of the mildew, once off if you wipe down shower after using it it cuts the problem down greatly. I use Dap Kwik Seal, it at least can be removed if necessary as some ruin area around your tub or shower, becomes like plastic & no way to remove it but remove the tub or shower & start over DD had that mess. Good Luck & this should last until you move . Save rest with the tip cap on in case anything else becomes a problem, it will last a long time. So will cost about $5 or less to fix! If their are other areas where grout is out, fill it in. Be sure to use same color grout as is in there comes in white & almond & I think your grout is white but take a good look so you get the right color, it is not hard to do. Hard part is getting gunk out of that space as soap & mold will not allow the caulk to seal. Clean & dry area & it will work like a charm!! I know as I have done it for people. |
Forgot to tell you to clean the tile pieces well so they will stick in the caulk!! |
ya, plain old painters caulk would probably work too. I think my house is held together with only a few tubes!! :P |

He's the one of Indiana's three seniors who hasn't been a major on-court contributor this season.
While Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls have been starters for all but one of the Hoosiers' games this season, Derek Elston's final year in the cream and crimson has been full of ups and down.
Elston missed the first 10 games of the season while recovering from knee surgery. He didn't play in the Big Ten Tournament last week and played just 16 games total all season, for a total of 109 minutes.
And while he didn't play a lot of minutes in IU's 83-62 win over James Madison on Friday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, he still was glad to get on the floor.
"I feel great," he said after playing eight minutes on Friday, his most court action since playing nine minutes against Iowa on March 2.
"(At the) Big Ten Tourmament, I had my knee worked on a little bit. Coach (Tom Crean) didn't feel like I was ready to go 100 percent; he was probably right.
"So a couple weeks here in practice, I've just been getting better and better gradually, slowly progressing, and went I got out today I felt great. No worries at all."
Elston showed he's still got some lift in his legs, jumping to block a shot by James Madison's Andre Nation.
"Something like that's going to build my confidence, and I was ready to go for the rest of the day."
Elston hasn't played more than 11 minutes in any game this season, and as the games get tougher, his minutes will likely decrease. Will Sheehey and Remy Abell and Jeremy Hollowell are IU's top reserves now.
But Elston realizes the bench's confidence as a whole will be critical as the games go on.
"To have the guys on the bench get in there and get a little more minutes and build their confidence, Hanner (Mosquera-Perea) came in there and played great the last couple of minutes. … All that is just confidence-builders, and the next time we get out there to play, use that confidence and just take off with it."

YEARS AGO I worked at restaurant that was on the forefront of the so called "foodie" scene. In fact, it was so far ahead of the curve that it sometimes seemed behind the times.
We were one of the first restaurants to use organic and local products, decades before the term farm-to-table was ever invented. The chef was the first ever to use microgreens. He had to grow them himself because there was absolutely nowhere to purchase them. We used things like sriracha chile paste and yuzu, long before they were common enough to appear in even the most mundane of grocery stores.
As Super Bowl Sunday approached, our enterprising chef (there was no such thing as a bar chef then) took it upon himself to create a drink for the occasion. What he came up with was an organic tomato juice cocktail that included balsamic vinegar, an Indonesian chile paste, garam marsala and local vodka. It was delicious, the perfect combination of sweet, spicy and spirit.
"Vinegar?" said the first person that I made it for. "Who ever heard of vinegar in a Bloody Mary?"
The original Bloody Mary is credited to a French bartender named Fernand Petiot, who worked at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, in or around 1921. Named after the execution happy Tudor Queen (daughter of Henry VIII) who vigorously persecuted her Protestant subjects, the drink originally consisted of just tomato juice and vodka. It is rumored that Petiot first prepared the drink for Vladimir Smirnov, expatriate Russian and founder of Smirnoff vodka, then based in France.
In 1933, Petiot came to the United States, changed his name to "Pete," changed the primary ingredient in his cocktail to gin, and changed the name of the cocktail to the Red Snapper. While at the King Cole Bar in the St. Regis Hotel (New York) Petiot added Worcestershire sauce and the spices that we now associate with the drink. He also, eventually, switched back to using vodka, and then back to calling it a Bloody Mary.
Arguably, the Bloody Mary is the first great vodka cocktail, with the Moscow Mule following two decades later and the vodka martini rising to prominence a decade after that, both spearheaded by Smirnoff vodka, which by then was made in the United States.
These days the most common Bloody Mary is made with vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, black pepper and lemon. Sometimes horseradish is added and sometimes celery salt (or seed).
It was just this type of Bloody Mary that the person so disgusted with the thought of vinegar finally requested. Ironically, both Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce are essentially vinegars.
Don't believe me? Read the back of your Tabasco bottle. Go ahead, I'll wait. "Distilled vinegar, red peppers, salt." Chile vinegar. In fact, Tabasco sauce is the only mass-produced "hot sauce" that has only three ingredients. Many have a whole litany of things that only a chemist can identify.
Worcestershire sauce is another thing entirely. It was developed by the British in India and got its name because it was first bottled in Worcester, England. Usually a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, tamarind, onions, molasses, lime, anchovies and vinegar, it is now available both far and wide. Its forerunner, however, is not as well known, at least outside of Asia.
Chinese Black Vinegar, or Chin Kiang vinegar (after its hometown of Zhenjiang, in southern China), its flavor profile is almost an exact match for Worcestershire sauce. It gets there by utilizing some different ingredients, primarily rice, and is often touted for its supposed health benefits. The end result is so similar tasting to Worcestershire sauce that even the most sophisticated connoisseur would be hard-pressed to discern the difference. Black vinegar is often used to flavor hot and sour soup, and it is also far less expensive than traditional Worcestershire sauce. Go figure.
All of which leads us to a few inescapable conclusions:
Traditional Bloody Marys are nothing more than two vinegar vodka and tomato drinks. Naysayers notwithstanding.
Don't be afraid to try new things, because perhaps in 10 or 15 years they might be the hottest thing around.
Chefs belong in the kitchen, not behind the bar.
Odd that a drink made with a Central American fruit (the tomato), conceived by a Frenchman, named after an English queen, and flavored with an Asian condiment is the unofficial "official" drink of a North American sporting event. Go figure.

You can tell by my hair that I don't like to be subtle in my appearance. This sometimes applies to the jewelry I wear as well. I like all kinds of jewelry, but occasionally, I want something that makes a statement. Fortunately, if you feel the same way, there are many artists out there that create such pieces. Prepare to be noticed!
The Many Adventures of Link
1 AugThe Legend of Zelda is awesome. That's a completely obvious statement, I know. All the gamers I know have played and liked at least a few of them, if not all of them. My Fallout items have been my best sellers in my Etsy shop for years, but Zelda items have now superseded them in popularity. I don't mind a bit – Zelda has so many awesome items and creatures, and I have fond memories of all the games so it's always fun to come up with new items based on the games.
I also love seeing what other Zelda-loving artists have created, and I bet you do too. So get ready for a stream of amazing art, and then go play some Zelda.
How does Link carry all that junk around with him? In this awesome print by Kim Herbst of kiwifruitbird, Link apparently doesn't know either. I love the expression on his face!

loving the software, but having some issues with the output.
setting up the screen sizes and what type of output seems to be a bit fuzzy. when you are making something for print (say word template) should this same publisher file work well for mobile divice output without much fussing with the file? i seem to be not grasping this part... just when i think i get something looking good i then push it out to mobile and things look nothing like the screen or print version.
Hello Ian,
Thank you for the feedback.
Please try to edit the PPI in right of the publish area
change the PPI to 300 , it will looks better when publish to word and image.
refer to attched image.

Hi Ian -
Different outputs require different setup values, so that is most likely why you are experiencing some inconsistencies when exporting a presentation set up for Print to Mobile.
It's a good idea to set up a seperate storyboard for each output format. After the presentation has been completed, simply copy/paste the Storyboard to create an identical copy to manipulate. See screenshot below for a sample.
<see attachment: storyboards.png>
Inside the Mobile storyboard, you can quickly set the Publish Area appropriately using the "set affected snapshots" command. Right-click on any snapshot within the Mobile storyboard and select Set Affected Snapshots for All Snapshots within the Storyboard.
<see attachment: set affected snapshots.png>
With the snapshots activated, modify the Publish Area to the appropriate iPad settings (1024x768).
<see attachment: publish area.png>
This will automatically update the Publish Area of every snapshot within the storyboard to these settings. At this point, it's a good idea to take a pass through the snapshots and ensure the views are within the boundaries.
You're now ready to publish to Mobile with much higher fidelity than before.
Good Luck!

Can Blood Pressure Medications Cause Fainting/collapse
My MIL has had two fainting spells. She has felt off balanced and on one occurance that I know of Extremely tired. She fainted once at the bank. And before fainting she said she felt very tired. After fainting she also looked like she was having some type of seizure. It also appeared as if she had a smile on her face or a drooped mouth. She had another experience yesterday where she fainted in her driveway and my SIL told me that she had the same shaking that I mentioned when she fell the first time.
They spoke stroke specialist ruled out the possiblity of a stroke. And a relative who is a nurse stated that it could be that her blood pressure medication was too strong. I know also that she is not eating properly. No one can seem to find a cause and I'm concerned because she lives alone. Everyone else is working.
Is there anyone on blood pressure or now of anyone who has had this experience.
thank you
So What Happened?™
My husband and SIL do believe that it is the blood pressure meds. She was in the hospital yesterday (after her second fainting spell) and they were told that she was very dehydrated. Also they found that her blood pressure was lower in a standing position than in setting. So, they believe that it is possibly the blood pressure meds. They are still waiting for the results of an MRI. She was not near home when she had the second spell so she was taken by EMS to another hospital. They physicians at the hospital were waiting for a call from her regular DR. who never contacted them. So, In my opinion, she probably needs to get another DR. as well.

First - I would call her doctor NOW rather than later. It is possible that her blood pressure medication is not adjusted correctly for her. However, the doctor needs to make that adjustment. There are a ton of medications out there, it took us about three different meds to find the one that worked the best for my husband. You want to have her looked at though before she falls and hurts herself. You don't want to waste to much time getting more opinions...

This has happen to my mother before and it was her blood pressure meds. I would get her into her DOC to have things checked. Good luck ;)
D.H. answers from Detroit on October 28, 2008
If she has poor oral intake of fluids and BP meds it may be causing her BP to be too low to sustain proper levels. Make sure she is getting enough fluids and see the Dr who prescribed the BP meds
C.C. answers from Grand Rapids on October 27, 2008
Yes blood pressure meds can cause the blood pressure to dip to low causing fainting. So can low blood sugar amongst other things. She needs to call her doctor for an eval to make sure that's what it is and then they can adjust her meds.
E.W. answers from Detroit on October 28, 2008
My grandmother suddenly had fainting and blackout spells. Her doctors thought it was neurological until she landed in the hospital. The doctors there were surprised at how strong her blood pressure meds were and suspected this was part of the problem. Her high dose of meds also caused her to lose her appetite and she was not eating properly or drinking enough. Dehydration/malnutrition was the other part of the problem.
Once they lowered her dosage, she returned back to normal and hasn't had an episode since.
Just goes to show you, that not all docs are in agreement on stuff as simple as blood pressure meds. Have her get a second opinion by a reputable doc.
D.G. answers from Detroit on October 29, 2008
Hi B.,
I have vasalvagal syncope (fainting spells) & seizures. They put me on a blood pressure medication to help my condition. Symptoms include light-headedness, dizzy, feeling warm, black-outs, shaking, sometimes I fall off balance, and I feel very tired. I've had this condition since 1981 and they have finally gotten it under control after trying different meds and implanting a pacemaker :(
because my condition is sooo severe. You must stay hydrated. I drink alot of water and gatorade and had to increase my salt intake. So your MIL may want to see a cardiologist.
Hope this helps
L.N. answers from Benton Harbor on October 27, 2008
Absolutely! Meds can cause BP to fall too low and cause weakness, dizziness, fatigue, sweating, lightheadedness, shaking, nausea, etc...and fainting. She definitely needs her BP meds evaluated.
What concerns me, though, is the smile or drooped mouth. Those are signs of a seizure. As one mom said, blood sugar could be a concern, too.
She absolutely needs to be check out by the doc. One easy thing to do is buy a BP monitor so she can check her BP when she feels symptomatic. Have her take it to the doc with her on her next checkup to test it against theirs and make sure it's accurate. Also, ask for a Hemoglobin A1C and a Fasting Blood Sugar test. (It's likely they will order it anyway) and have them test her sugar with a fingerstick there in the office. In our office we have monitors that are supplied by the drug companies at no cost to patients. Perhaps she could ask for one just to have on hand so next time it happens her BS can be checked right away.
That's all I can think of right off hand...stress to her the importance of nutrition...I hope you find some answers.
Keep us posted!

Well Control Training - Aberdeen
We are accredited to carry out Drilling Well Control training courses to the required standard laid down by IWCF (International Well Control Forum) and IADC WellCAP® (International Association of Drilling Contractors).
Our goal is never to forget how new, inexperienced and nervous some students can be when attending these drilling related training courses.
We carry out the training in a slow and understandable way, as conditions will allow, speaking in plain and simple English. We have fine-tuned the course to give the necessary training, but not swamp the student with unwanted facts and paperwork. We can also provide a pre-course Drilling Well Control training pack, so the candidate can arrive at the course with some subject knowledge "under their belt".
Newer candidates often ask what is the difference between IWCF and IADC WellCAP® courses. Well, the course curriculum and training courses are similar, but, when the two written tests, Equipment and Principles & Procedures (P&P), are done at the course end, IWCF send an invigilator with their own test papers. They invigilate the test and mark the papers. Course instructors do not see the papers, the students don't see the papers after the results are given.
With WellCAP® , the training school is trusted to write the test papers, invigilate and mark the papers. The actual papers can then be gone over by the training instructor to show the candidate where they had gone wrong.
Note; IWCF request passports should be valid for a period of 2 years. If not, then a current drivers license or national ID card must be provided.
From August 2014, anyone taking an IWCF Drilling Well Control course for the first time, must complete the 3 day level 2 Introduction course first, then level 3 Driller 5 day course, then level 4 Supervisor 5 day course. However, if you already have a certificate e.g. Combined Driller, you can re-new the same level (or the next level up).

"I used Haralson apples and got rave reviews. My only quibble was that a 9x13 pan is too big for this recipe. The topping didn't fully cover the pan and the apples cooked down so that it was barely a quarter inch think. I'd either double the recipe or use a smaller pan."
"This recipe produces chicken that falls off the bone and onions that melt in your mouth. The flavors blend wonderfully. The only quibble is that the sauce is very thin. Other than that, this is an amazing meal."
"I substituted 4 oz sour cream for 4 of the 8 oz of neufchatel cheese, and added some shredded cheddar on top of each bowlful. I also used frozen corn rather than canned. It was a little soupy at first, but thickened upon standing. Using a mild salsa, this dish was blander than I prefer. Next time I'd use a medium or spicy salsa, and add some..."
"Delicious! I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef and used nacho cheese flavored doritos. Next time, I think I'll used baked Nacho Cheese Doritos to reduce the fat content even more. This definately makes 4-6 servings, not 2 as listed in the nutrition box. I'll make this again."
"Very Good for a savory dish. I substituted Turkey Bacon, but then needed to add some Extra Virgin Olive Oil to get the onions/apples/garlic to saute properly. I didn't use the optional topping, but next time would add a slice of swiss on top of each stuffed squash to give it a little extra cheesy goodness. I'll make this again!"
"Delicious and perfect for Fall/Winter menus. I eliminated the salt & added additional nutmeg to better match my tastes. Very easy to make."

I posted this on the Deathwatch forum but it applies equally here
I know that there has probably been discussion about this, but how much is Black Crusade an evolution of rules in Deathwatch.
There were 2 rules which struck me as different, Storm of Iron and Zealous Hatred
In Deathwatch Storm of Iron allows for a doubling of the amount of damage to a horde, causing massive damage. On the other hand, in Black Crusade it would be half of the BS bonus, which would mean, on average, 2 extra damage to hordes, which is much more toned down and modest (doubling would be pretty crazy)
The other one I thought was interesting was Zealous Hatred which in Deathwatch allowed someone to roll another dice. In Black Crusade it allows 1 damage. This actually makes more sense as a heretic with an autopistol could probably nick a Space Marine if he were lucky, but causing a massive wound with the same weapon would be outrageous.
It made me think that that would cause a change in how hordes cause damage. Rather than adding dice to hordes based on magnitude, the GM might just assign 1 damage per 10 points of magnitude. That would mean that it would take a loooong time to kill Space Marines, but that is kind of the point. Space Marines die after fighting lots of heretics after a long time, why should they be felled by a lucky shot.
Anyways, just my thoughts, I feel that the Space Marine rules in Black Crusade are probably due to tweaks in Deathwatch and I am curious how this might appear in the Deathwatch errata (which, strangely, has not been changed since May 2011)

In Baroque music, a special subgroup of an instrumental ensemble. It consists of two instruments reading the same part: a bass instrument, such as a cello or bassoon, and a chordal instrument, most often a harpsichord but sometimes an organ or lute. Its appearance in the early 17th century reflected the radically new musical texture of accompanied melody that was especially typical of the new vocal genre of opera. The continuo (which has a counterpart in the bass and rhythm guitar of a rock band) came to be employed in virtually all ensemble music of the Baroque era.

It's ours — the awesome, majestic fjord called Howe Sound — surrounded by distinctive and eclectic small communities, interspersed with islands large and small and set against the backdrop of stunning, snow capped mountains — truly a masterpiece now and potentially a world class tourism and adventure recreation destination in itself and important economic generator, right in our front yards. That's my vision for Howe Sound.
That doesn't appear to be the vision of the B.C. government who are promoting a return of major heavy resource based industry: LNG, gravel pit, waste burning and more logging — not wise given a long recovery from past environmental damage.
Haven't we learned anything from the past?
The potential of Howe Sound under the overarching theme of tourism/adventure recreation, properly planned and cleverly delivered, is a huge opportunity for new product development, new businesses to create them and new communities and residents drawn for the lifestyle and setting. It doesn't exclude new or expanding industries and does include new product development and additional activity programming.
It can deliver long-term economic returns (jobs, new business, visitors and residents) as good as or better than a return to heavy industry and with a minimal ecological footprint. It's clever, clean, sustainable and in the best long-term interests of B.C.
We now have a great example of a local attraction that proves the point: the newly opened Sea to Sky Gondola, nestled between Shannon Falls and the Chief. This attraction, five years in the making, locally and privately funded, delivered over 200 construction jobs and now, in operation, has over 100 employees, almost all local — a major new player in the area and by all accounts a huge hit with tourists and locals less than a month after opening.
