(JTA) -- The United States will help Israel buy four more Iron Dome short-range anti-missile systems, a Pentagon official said.
Lt.-Gen. Patrick O'Reilly, the head of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency, told the Senate Appropriations Defense subcommittee Wednesday that the agency has included in its budget a proposal to pay for four more of the protection systems, which each cost about $50 million.
The system, which has been deployed near Beersheba and Ashkelon, has intercepted rockets fired from Gaza on southern Israeli communities.
Israel's state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. developed the Iron Dome on its own, but the United States reportedly believes its troops could benefit from a similar system.

Second and third grade boys basketball games will be played at ALES as follows: Blue vs. Gray, 11 a.m.; Black vs. White, noon.
LaRue County's defending 18th District Champion girls' varsity basketball team is out to demonstrate that last year's journey to the semifinals of the Fifth Region tournament and a 27-4 season record weren't flukes.
"I think the girls want to prove that last year was legit," said Travis Wootton, in his seventh year at the Lady Hawks' helm. "We have experience and size."
Head Coach Paul Childress is looking for veteran guards to help LaRue County High School's boys varsity basketball team, the Hawks, soar through the upcoming season.
"I think our strengths will be experienced guard play," the coach, in his seventh year as Hawks head coach, said. "Our guards have a lot of varsity experience and should bring a lot of leadership to this team and I will stack our guards up with any backcourt in the region."

Most of the present Mat Hawk seniors have been wrestling together since elementary school. They are Drew Newberry, Nick Paden, Shawn Hull, Bernard Ray, Taylor Albert, Dylan Sheldon, Eli Meredith, David Masure, Michael Geary and Ethan Hutchinson.
To say this group has amassed some impressive statistics would be an understatement.
The group has an overall individual record of 494-105 for an 82 percent winning percentage. That's higher than any past graduating group of seniors. They have racked up 263 pins and averaged a pin every 2.28 matches.
The resume of the returning wrestlers on the present LaRue County High School wrestling team is impressive. This team has accomplished just about everything a team can accomplish in high school sports. But the team is unsatisfied and looking to add the last missing link to the long list of accomplishments it has achieved.
The missing link? A KHSAA state tournament championship.

Even as dark thoughts began to hang over the friends and family of Aubrey Sacco, they gathered Sunday armed with the things she loved most to drive those thoughts away.
If you didn't know Aubrey, you might think Sunday's gathering was eccentric. Friends lit incense, hung Himalayan prayer flags and decorated a "hope tree" with bright ribbons near the entrance of Greeley Central High School, where Aubrey, 23, graduated a few years ago. And everyone wore crazy hats and sunglasses, and some wore glitter on their bodies. It was exactly the kind of gathering Aubrey would have ordered up to get people to stop worrying about her.
"People probably think we're nuts," said Aileen Barry, a family friend who has helped coordinate the event. "But that's OK. We need to be a little nuts right now."
They needed the music, even a CD recorded by Aubrey and Paul, her father who is now in Nepal searching for her. They needed the loud pep talk, the kind given by football coaches, by Connie, her mother, who said the gathering of 50 (and growing) was good because it let Aubrey know they wanted her home. And they needed the laughs after Connie said Aubrey would be grounded indefinitely once she did come home. It was probably the first time Connie spent significant time out of the house in weeks.
Aubrey was due back from the Langtang National Park trek on April 29, and a search for her started soon after. Paul is directing the search from Nepal, and Connie is directing it from the den labeled "Glitterville" by a hand-drawn sign on the door.
They needed it all because Barry said everyone was now looking into darker possibilities, such as kidnappings or worse, even as they continued to hold out hope that she would be found on the trail or in one of the nearby villages.
Indeed, the gathering shifted back and forth from a happy, crazy, fun party to a somber, tear-filled remembrance every few minutes, and sometimes it was both at the same time.
"We're trying not to look into that stuff," Barry said, "but we've got to look into that stuff."
Friends such as Kari Lynch, 23, and Chrissy Swanson, 22, enjoyed the music and the balloons and all that glitter as others wrote messages to her in cards.
"I think it helps," Lynch said. "It's helpful to see everyone together, and I think it's helpful to the family to see how many love her."
Michael Hamling decorated that hope tree with dozens of bright ribbons, almost to the point where you couldn't see the bark any longer. She decorated herself, too, so much with glitter paint that she gave off a glare in the early evening sun. Hamling played in an orchestra with Aubrey when they were younger and swapped art projects with her. She remembered one such project when Aubrey coated a doughnut in glitter and then ate it.
"I'm trying to keep the worst things out of my mind," Hamling said. "Aubrey was always so positive. She believed in that. She never focused on the negative. So why should we?"
A strong wind blew and almost took a shiny butterfly balloon to the sky. But Hamling chased it for a few yards, and just when it seemed the balloon was going to get away for good, she pinched a small piece at the end and brought it back to earth.
That symbolic gesture was replaced by another, when they all gathered in a circle and released all the balloons, including the butterfly, to send positive energy to Aubrey for her safe return.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Bobby Cox remembers his immediate reaction to the news that the Phillies had acquired Roy Halladay.
"Holy [smoke]," Cox recalled yesterday.
That two-word first impression sums up the world of hurt Cox's Atlanta Braves squad faced at the prospect of Halladay, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee pitching for the division-rival Phillies. It was a scenario Cox was familiar with. Way back in 1993, the Braves added 20-game winner Greg Maddux to a rotation that included Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.
That trio was together for 10 years, and except for the strike-shortened '94 season, led the Braves to a division title every year. In all, the Braves won 14 of 15 division titles during a run that ended in 2005 - after Maddux and then Glavine had left.

text: I've had 2 single pregnancies before this twin one, and with each of those I exercised right up until the day I went into labor. I was also a runner before getting pregnant with the twins and did a few half marathons up until this past summer. However, I have been doing ZERO exercise since week 28 with this pregnancy, and I am feeling bad about it. Not bad enough to actually exercise, though. I'm just so tired all the time that I can't get motivated to do anything beyond taking care of my house and 2 older kids. Is anyone still able to exercise? It seems impossible to me. But I will have people say things to me like...."you should try to stay active." Or, "I ran when I was pregnant." It's not encouraging!

Women who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth have no difference in survival than women who weren't pregnant. Their babies, while at risk for preterm birth, have equally healthy outcomes and survival as other infants.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis matched California women with colorectal cancer and their infants to two other groups: pregnant women without colorectal cancer and age-matched women with colorectal cancer who weren't pregnant.
Women with colorectal cancer were about twice as likely to have cesarean sections and had three times the risk for infections. They went also into labor early labor three times as often as pregnant women without cancer. However, neonatal outcomes were similar.
Dr. Lloyd Smith, a gynecological oncologist at UC Davis said that cancer diagnosis is often delayed until after delivery.
There really were no obvious findings indicating where we could improve care, with the exception that physicians should be on the lookout with their pregnant patients for colon and rectal cancer symptoms. Rectal bleeding during pregnancy is often blamed on hemorrhoids. We should always be aware of the possibility of a tumor, even in young women.
Study author Dr. Mary Dahling points out risk for inherited colorectal cancer in women of childbearing age,
Even though the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes for women with colorectal cancer were good, we should be sure to include genetic counseling in the range of services offered to women who are considering getting pregnant, especially if there is a genetic susceptibility for the disease.
SOURCE: Dahling et al., Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, published online December 16, 2008.

AUSTIN - A Lubbock woman whose career with the Texas Department of Public Safety has been punctuated by a series of firsts is making history again as she retires.
Lt. Lenda Nixon, 51, head of the agency's special crimes service in the High Plains region, is the first female trooper to retire from the DPS.
"She's setting history again for the agency," DPS Director Dudley Thomas said Tuesday during a retirement ceremony at DPS state headquarters.
When Nixon started as a cadet on Sept. 15, 1976, almost 23 years ago, two female troopers already were at work, both of them hired in 1975, said DPS spokesman Mike Cox. But the first two women apparently didn't last long, Cox said.
A Fort Worth native, Nixon received an associate degree in criminal justice from Tarrant County Junior College and worked in campus security at the college before entering the DPS academy.
"I knew when I went to the DPS academy that this was my career," Nixon said. "There was no turning back. It's the best choice I've ever made."
Nixon spent her first five years with DPS working in the highway patrol in the Fort Worth area.
In January 1982, Nixon joined the criminal intelligence service - renamed the special crimes service. She was the first woman involved in criminal law enforcement at DPS and spent 11 years as an investigator in Austin. Nixon became the agency's first female lieutenant in April 1993 and was assigned to McAllen. DPS transferred her to Lubbock in September of the same year.
Being a woman in a field long dominated by men wasn't a problem for Nixon, who said having a sense of humor helped carry her through even tense situations.
Nixon has been a trailblazer for other women at the state law enforcement agency. The most recent information available from DPS indicates the agency has 157 female troopers, including 21 in criminal law enforcement.
Being the first had some advantage, however. During the half-dozen years when Nixon was the only female DPS officer working in criminal law enforcement, she frequently was called on by the Texas Rangers and narcotics officers to assist with major cases.
Nixon said she was involved in investigating Henry Lee Lucas, the one-eyed drifter who confessed to murders around the country and then recanted all his confessions. She recalled spending three hours interviewing Lucas, whom she described as "talkative."
"You just let him talk," Nixon said. "That's the approach I took."
One case in which Lucas was convicted involved the 1979 slaying of an unidentified woman, known only as "Orange Socks," in Williamson County. Lucas was sentenced to die for that murder, but Gov. George W. Bush commuted the sentence to life in prison.
During the past year, Nixon has been involved in raids on businesses in the Lubbock and Amarillo areas and was present for the seizure of a large number of casino-style gambling machines, known as "eight-liners."
Even though she has participated in raids with her gun draw, Nixon said she feels "very fortunate" that she never has had to fire a weapon at another person during all of her years in law enforcement. But she remembers one close call.
Once while on patrol, Nixon said, she stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. She said the driver, an Oklahoma man, came out of the car holding a .22-caliber handgun.
"I pulled my 357, and he dropped his gun," Nixon said. "That was probably the closest I came to having to use my weapon."

Marco Huck Back on March 29th, Hernandez Withdraws
Marco Huck returns to action after his brilliant victory over Firat Arslan. On the 29th of March, "Captain" Huck will defend his WBO cruiserweight title in Berlin's Velodrome for the 13th time. With a victory, he would break the previous record of British boxer Johnny Nelson (WBO titlist from 1999-2006).
Huck is taking over the date for his teammate, Yoan Pablo Hernandez, who was scheduled to defend his IBF cruiserweight title against Poland's Pawel Kolodziej. Hernandez is still suffering from a gastritis (stomach lining infection) issue and can not train in the coming weeks.
Huck was in action on the 25th of January in Stuttgart, when he knocked out Arslan in their rematch.
Huck's next opponent will be announced shortly.
"I'm training, I am in top shape and looking forward to the fight in Berlin. I fear no enemy, as a champion I always went against the best fighters. My fans can look forward to a great show in the ring," said the 29-year-old WBO champion.
Tickets are available at www.eventim.de. All previously purchased tickets for the boxing event at the Velodrome on March 29 remain valid.
Huck wants to fight at HW. He's been eager since the Povetkin semi-robbery. He'll probably have a weak opponent for this record breaking defense and then move to HW.Comment by Rezelby on 03-03-2014

The Bonsall Woman's Club recently celebrated its 27th anniversary. Ten of the group's last 17 presidents attended. Three are deceased.
Top, attending, from left, were, front row, Nola Hall, Judy Bresnahan, Dene Reed, Elizabeth Johnson and Sharon Agan; back row, Beverly Thompson, Mary Jane Poulter, Elaine Davis, Jane Johnson and Marlene Rantanen.
In addition, Betty Eaglen, bottom, was awarded the Big Heart Award for her longtime service to the club and community. The standing rules of the Bonsall Woman's Club state that the Big Heart Award, if presented, will be given at the February meeting. The recipient will be selected by the president and a committee of three, to recognize a member who personifies a big heart.
This year#'s recipient has a heart so big that when trying to be concise in stating her volunteerism for BWC, the list numbered at least 20 major areas.
She has been a member for 18 years.
Board positions she has held are: Second vice president, membership; fourth vice president, ways and means, twice; treasurer; corresponding secretary; public relations.
Chairmanships held include fashion show; golf tournament, twice; co-chairman, Magic of Christmas. She has made tea table favors, sponsored trees and made ornaments for trees.
She has served on the Budget Committee, has been club photographer, sings in the club choir and has many entries in the club cookbook.
Volunteerism at district level includes: art chairwoman for the Fine Arts Festival; craft program chairwoman; and she submits entries in the decorative arts and photography divisions every year.
Her husband is a strong supporter of the club, assisting in any endeavor in which she asks him to participate. The dirtiest job was being asked to help clean out and power wash the interior of the storage unit at Bonsall Elementary School when it had to be moved a few months ago. He helped sort and throw away unneeded items and then reorganizee the storage unit.

Since state-owned Líneas Aéreas Paraguayas (LAP) disappeared in the early 1990s, Paraguay lost its only local airline. By that time, Brazil's TAM bought LAP and at first re-branded it as "TAM Mercosur"–with a bunch of Fokker 100 and the flags of the four Mercosur member states on the back of the plane–, and then simply merged it with its Brazilian operations. Even though TAM Mercosur still operates under a separate IATA/ICAO code (PZ/LAP), the airline is completely integrated in the JJ network, and doesn't even have its own airplanes.
Foreign airlines took advantage of LAP's fall and in the last decade Asunción has seen more new companies than ever before – TAM, Aerolíneas Argentinas, Taca, Copa Airlines, Gol, Aerosur and Pluna fly there (or used to at some point: Aerosur and Pluna are sadly gone).
But it was sad to see no ZP-registered commercial airplanes, Paraguay being the only country in South America without its own flag-carrier, something we Latinos are very fond of. So a group of Paraguayan and Argentine entrepreneurs decided to create a new airline, inspired by LAP (which, at some point, even flew a DC-10 all the way up to BRU and FRA) and with a Paraguayan attitude.
Sol del Paraguay Líneas Aéreas (literally "Sun of Paraguay Airlines") was born.
Right now they operate three Fokker 100, all of them previously with Click by Mexicana and baptized with Paraguayan names: "Héroes del Chaco" (Chaco War was fought between Paraguay and Bolivia in the 1930s), "Lago de Ypacaraí" (Ypacaraí Lake) and "Itapúa Poty" (in Guaraní language, "Flower of Itapúa", a region in the south of the country, and also a typical song).
Beside charter flights, Sol del Paraguay (IATA: PI) serves Buenos Aires (EZE) on a daily basis and flies twice a week to Ciudad del Este (AGT), Paraguay's second-largest city and biggest commercial centre.
I took advantage of a special offer on PI's EZE-ASU-EZE route and booked a flight through its website www.viajaconsol.com (in Spanish, "travel with Sol.com"). The site does not allow online purchases (only reservations), so I had to contact PI's call centre in Buenos Aires, where everything was sorted out in a few minutes.
I think this will be the first trip report about Sol del Paraguay and probably one of the very few covering Paraguay at all.
Sol del Paraguay PI 902
Asunción Silvio Pettirosi (ASU) – Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini / Ezeiza (EZE)
Estimated/Actual time of departure: 1805/1810 (GMT –4)
Estimated/Actual time of arrival: 2050/2040 (GMT –3)
Fokker 100 MK-28
ZP-CAL "Lago de Ypacaraí"
MSN 11341: previously with Click by Mexicana and TAM, and originally delivered to Aviacsa in 1992.
I got to ASU two hours before departure using the local bus, which stops right at the airport's main entrance. The bus ticket costs 2300 guaraníes (PYG), around 0,50 USD, whilst taxis to the airport charge 20 USD. No way I'm paying 20 dollars, especially in cheap Paraguay.
ASU has got a layout typical of the 1960s, when it was built. Gen. Alfredo Stroessner was the dictator of Paraguay at the time, and everything in the country was named after him – including the airport. I think KLM.com stills lists ASU as "Aeropuerto Presidente Stroessner". In the 1990s the place was re-named after Silvio Pettirosi, a Paraguayan aviation pioneer.
Asunción Internacional Airport (ASU / SGAS)
Goodbye sign in Guaraní, Spanish and English
Main entrance
I got to the check-in counter where there was a small queue, but the whole process didn't last longer than five minutes. The young agent, who spoke with a notorious Brazilian accent, addressed me by my name and asked me if I had a seat preference, something that does not happen at many airlines. Afterwards she handed me the boarding pass (which looked like a credit card ticket or a supermarket receipt( and asked if I wanted to take the free shuttle bus from EZE to downtown Buenos Aires, which I declined for somebody was picking me up.
The free shuttle, I have to say, is a great idea. Not only because EZE is 30km away from Buenos Aires, but because AR and PZ fly from ASU to AEP, which is right at the heart of the city.
ASU - Departures hall
PI check-in counters
AR and G3 counters. JJ's were full of people, so taking a picture was impossible.
PU and CM, PU's counter being closed - just like the airline. Oh well...
Immigration and security were done in a breeze (in South America we couldn't care less about gels and liquids and so on) and I settled in the crowded waiting lounge, where a musician was playing some traditional Paraguayan melodies on the harp, a typical Guaraní instrument. I also enjoyed the free wi-fi – do you hear me, major airports, ASU's got free wi-fi!
Boarding was called a 5.30 pm (the exact time my boarding pass showed) and even though there was no priority for families and disabled, the packed F100 was loaded so quickly it didn't even matter. Right at the gate, free candies and local newspapers were offered.
Boarding area at ASU
Live music
PI's ZP-CFL "Itapúa Poty" and ZP-CJK "Héroes del Chaco" standing still at the platform.
Once onboard, welcome announcements were done in Spanish, English and Guaraní, which I thought was a very nice touch. There were 5 flight attendants onboard, four girls (gorgeous all of them) and a guy.
Cabin view
IFE consisted of PI's in-flight magazine and the newspaper they offer before boarding. The magazine (Spanish only) is quite interesting, with a few nice articles regarding hidden Paraguayan treasures, like Ypoá Lake and Ybytyruzú National Park ("Y" means "water" in Guaraní, hence the letter is used in pretty much every place name in the country, including "Paraguay").
Reading material, safety card and a comments form.
Once we reached our cruising altitude at FL340, the crew started with the service, which consisted of a warm pizza (with mozzarella, tomato and olives), some slices of ham and cheese, a slice of cake and some crackers. Very nice for a flight of only 1:30 hours. All kinds of drinks were on offer, including sodas, juices, beer, wine, whisky and even vodka.
Meal time
A second round of drinks was offered once the meal trays were removed, and an announcement was made informing passengers that both mate and tereré were available. Mate is a warm infusion very popular throughout the Southern Cone, and tereré is its cold counter-part, very common in Paraguay and Northeastern Argentina. I actually felt like having some mate, and the flight attendant handed out this a receptacle, a thermos let's say, were boiling water and yerba mate were already poured. I saw some other passengers having tereré as well.
The thermos wereon sale for 90.000 PYG (roughly 20 USD) and some people actually bought hem. I gave it a serious thought (it could be very useful when driving alone on the car), but the same thermos you can get for half the price in any Buenos Aires supermarket.
At 34.000 ft, probably the world's highest mate
As I said before, all of PI's airplanes are former Click by Mexicana, and there were some hints on the seats and the carpet showing who was the previous operator.
Click 1
Click 2
Right after finishing my mate we started our descent towards EZE, where our captain, Mr Caballero, made a very soft landing, literally kissing the ground. Afterwards we were bussed to the terminal.
Getting off
Immigration at EZE was done in a breeze and while there were a lot of people at the customs checkpoint (an AR flight from MIA and a 4M flight from BOG had just landed), the whole thing lasted less than I expected.
I have to make a special remark about PI's service, which I found really above average. Everybody, from check-in agents to flight attendants, were extremely nice and sympathetic, really trying to make their best in order to satisfy each passenger's needs. That kind of service is hardly ever seen in South America, where robotic crews are the norm, and I was very happy to find it onboard Sol del Paraguay.
Paraguayans are among the nicest people in South America. Simple, sympathetic and always willing to help. I was very happy to find that PI is a true ambassador of the Paraguayan people, and I'm writing this report in order to send a real "congratulations" to them all. And to tell you that I absolutely recommend Sol del Paraguay to anyone travelling to the heart of our continent.
Thanks for reading and comments are of course most appreciated.

This semester, the department ushered in a new 'born digital' GE course with the fully online lecture and lab, GEOL 107. Hooked in by watching popular Hollywood disaster movies, students constructed a dinosaur based on a small sampling of bones, played the role of residents in Mammoth Lakes in the middle of a volcanic crisis, designed their own earthquake early warning network, and debated the risks and rewards of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. Course design by Drs. Schwartz and d'Alessio was supported by the CSU Chancellor's office, and you can read their report on the inaugural semester of the course here. Read more

Used these in conjunction with the stake bed pockets to convert a Ski-doo trailer into a multi-use vehicle. Worked great made the fabrication a breeze.

Material is good and thick. Should be serviceable for years to come

I needed these for my 4 x 8 utility trailer

Exactly what I wanted, very fast shipping, good company to deal with.

I didn't even know what these things were called but somehow I found them. They were perfect. Thanks so much for the great product.

These corner connectors were just the part I needed to make a bed-rack for my pick-up truck. Not available locally unless ordered and less expensive (price & shipping) with Trailer Parts Superstore. A word of caution! Open all packages immediately when received and check them out. I opened and checked out only one of four sets purchased. Three weeks later when doing final assembly, I found one package had three lefts and only one right hand pieces - should have been two of each. Trailer Parts Superstore made it right, but I had to wait out shipping time again.
(Posted on 10/31/2011)
I checked all around the local area, no one had these corner-stake-rack connectors, hell not many even knew what I was talking about. I was sure glad when I found your web site. Thank You.
(Posted on 9/16/2011)
Could not find locally. This site had just what I needed at very reasonable price.
(Posted on 9/1/2011)
I purchased these corner stake rack connectors to rebuild my small utility trailer. I had used hinges on the old sideboards so that I could remove them, but they were just a pain to remove, requiring a punch and a hammer, and sometimes a pair of pliers. With the corner stake connectors, I can have all four sides off the trailer in less than one minute because the just lift a seperate.

What are you most proud of? Taking a reasonably simple pattern and having it turn out so different from the pattern's picture. The pattern allowed me to sort of make it up as I went along, thus making it my own. I like that I was able to incorporate such appropriate quotes from Winnie the Pooh in the label, as well, which gave the quilt a related, but personal touch. What advice would you give someone starting this project? After finding the Winnie the Pooh fabric, the hardest part for me was in finding just the right border fabric to work with all the others, so I guess my advice would be to take your main fabric with you to find the perfect border fabric first. I knew I wanted green, but bought 3 different fabrics before settling on this lovely green with the stars that worked well with the little stars in the off-white fabric.

Brewing Up A Business by Sam Calagione
A Few Facts about Dogfish Head & the founder Sam Calagione that I learned while reading this great book:
Life is Too Short for Light Beer (day 48)
19 June 2012
I have a friend that is wanting to open a brew pub. The other day he was bemoaning the fact that all the equipment costs so much. He is certainly correct that all the equipment is pretty expensive, but… I thought it would be inspirational to post a picture (and quote from the founder) of the original equipment that Dogfish Head started with. If you do the tour they will take you by to see it (note the "Sir Hops Alot" in the corner).
"We started in 1995 right in this building where you are. The banks didn't really feel like lending me money and I didn't really have a track record for business. We opened with really the smallest commercial brewery in the country. We made our brewery out of three kegs. We cut the top off the kegs and put propane burners underneath and we could yield about 12 gallons every time we brewed."
Dogfish Head Brewing Company Interview with Sam Calagione
By Pete Ricks.
[throwback thursday] lobster fishing in maine with sam calagione (dogfish head brewery) for our series 'Brewmasters'
Culture and beer are like the chicken and the egg debate. Does culture enable you to drink beer under the guise of being fancy, or do you drink first and then cling to culture as an afterthought to justify the stupor?
I don't really care. I'm just glad that beer and culture cross paths as often as they do.
I mentioned Bitches Brew, a stout by Dogfish Head, in my column last December, but here's a quick refresher straight from Dogfish:
Sam [Calagione, founder of Dogfish] was drawn to the alchemical spirits in Bitches Brew right out of college, acquiring a copy of the album "within months of the first time I brewed a batch of homebrew in my apartment in New York City. I listened to it when I was writing my Dogfish business plan. I wanted Dogfish Head to be a maniacally inventive and creative brewery, analog beer for the digital age."
Bitches Brew is an imperial stout brewed by Dogfish in honor of the album's 40th anniversary that features "threads" of honey and gesho root. So this doesn't devolve into some drawn-out beer review, I'll just say it's really good. It warms the soul and its rich subtlety makes it oh so drinkable.
Anyway, since I'm a huge fan of beer and theme parties, I had two of my favorite ladies – Valeria and Daina – over last night to drink Bitches Brew while listening to the iconic Bitches Brew album by Miles Davis.
So meta, I know.
Given that the album itself is just over two hours, I was interested to see if we would make it through the whole thing. We actually almost listened to it twice without even realizing it. The beer and the story behind it launched us into conversations about everything under the sun. Ridiculous stories from when we first struck out on our own as "adults," family, big life lessons we've learned, beer, our own passions and how Danny Castellano from The Mindy Project, though short, is hilariously dreamy.
That's right. In case you've forgotten, this is a beer blog written by a girl. A girl who watches The Mindy Project. And I'm secure about it.
I digress.
Overall, it was kind of a perfect evening. The rhythm of our chatter was struck easily, there was so much good cheese and the music was on point. All thanks to that nice little intersection of delicious beer and culture.
Oh, also, Valeria brought her sweet, 14-month-old pitty named Buffy over for our girls night. She high-fives, you guys. She high-fives you on command. Like for real.
i have the biggest crush on paul brown from auction kings.
almost as big as the crush i had on sam calagione from brewmasters.
thank you discovery channel, for keeping the hot men in rotation.
It finally happened. Last night, I met Sam Calagione!
Growing up in Delaware and attending many Dogfish Head events over the past few years, it's pretty odd that I never met Sam until last night. I can say, however, that it was well worth the wait. While being charmed by Sam and trying not to faint, I got to try out L'Interimaire - a new collaboration between Dogfish Head and Bluejacket - DC's newest "boutique brewery". It's an extremely drinkable Belgian Saison-style brew that I thought was just a tad sour in the best way, but then again, every beer is a 10/10 when you're drinking it next to Sam Calagione.
Because beer, not lawyers.
Dogfish takes up a lot of real estate in our fridge. So it's kind of pitiful that Patrick and I have tried to visit Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton, Del., on three different occasions… and failed. Various reasons for our failure have included sickness, other more important events and an aggressive desire to sleep for a ridiculous number of hours.
This past Saturday, however, we decided not to be lazy a-holes, which was a small miracle unto itself because, before we left, we watched the season two premiere of House of Cards – and OMG, stuff happened. I could have easily sat there all day in pajamas – without showering or eating actual food – and watched the all thirteen episodes in one sitting.
(Full disclosure: I absolutely stayed up until a stupid hour later in the weekend watching the entire thing. Because I have zero self control.)
Instead, we got dressed and drove close to two hours in pretty heavy snowfall – including a brief Taco Bell stop – to Delaware.
When we arrived, we were taken aback by the sheer scale of the Dogfish facility which includes its own industrial tree house. We knew Dogfish was kind of a big deal, but it was the first time we had visited a brewery of that size.
Upon entering, a nice gal gave us tasting sheets, where visitors choose four beers to taste for free. (Woohoo!) I chose:
It took a bit of strategic wandering and a few laps, but we were able to stake out a couple of spots at the wraparound bar. And in spite of the crowds, we had a lot of fun swapping beers between each other and trying new stuff, along with some old favorites.
In The New Yorker's 2008 profile of Sam Calagione and Dogfish Head itself, Garrett Oliver said: "Sam is a wonderful showman. He almost conceives the beer around the story. He'll think: Wouldn't it be cool if we carried the beer down the street and everyone put something new into it!"
You can see the showmanship Oliver mentioned in everything Dogfish produces – from their unique and eclectic label artwork to what's inside the actual bottle. My inner marketer loves how Dogfish lives up to their "Off-Centered Ales for Off-Centered People," mantra in such an authentic, earnest way.
Granted there are a few of their brews that leave me saying, "Well, that was an… interesting beer science project." But overall, their catalog is littered with amazing beers that I (and many others I know) seek out on a regular basis.
Actually, my love for the Palo Santo Marron and the Burton Baton goes beyond "seeking out on a regular basis." I would club a flock of sandwiches for those two. Violently.
[Note: Patrick is now joining me in my downward spiral of IPA and Imperial IPA obsession. He loved the Burton Baton, too.]
Anyway, after our tasting, we went for some beer-infused food. I had the bratwurst – pork sausage made with soon-to-be-replaced Raison D'Etre – and we shared a side of their hop pickles. I also took the menu's advice to pair my meal with the 90 Minute IPA on draft. I'm not going to go into too much detail here, because I don't want you to feel bad about that Lean Cuisine you had for lunch today. But I will say the tastiness-level of everything was ridiculous.
Sadly, our afternoon dwindled away much too quickly, and soon it was time to go. But of course, we couldn't leave without doing a bit of shopping – a hat for when I don't feel like brushing my hair, some dog treats, new glassware, etc. When we were checking out, we initially congratulated ourselves for doing a such good job in keeping our tab down. ("Only $50?! Hooray!") Then we realized she had forgotten to ring up our beer. ("Oh. Damn.")
Overall, our field trip to Dogfish was awesome. We had a great time drinking amazing beer, shouting out the names of presidents, reuniting with Alise, eating good food, playing with puppies in the tasting room and uh, drinking more amazing beer.
Unfortunately we opted not to take the tour this time, so I guess that means we'll have to go back and visit again.
How AWFUL for us, right?

Punkin Ale and Punkin Ale soap. I've officially expanded my "shower beer" repertoire.
Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione has been very open about how much of a music geek he is alongside his beer geekitude. Beer To Drink Music To is actually the official beer of Record Store Day, a day of exclusive releases in celebration of vinyl and the stores that sell it that happens one day a year in April. I always participate at my local record store Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas. BTDMT is a Belgian-style tripel, which happens to be my favorite style of Belgian beer (followed closely by the saison). I'm not always impressed with American-made ones though. This beer is yeasty and citrusy like I would expect though there's an odd mineraly aftertaste. There's also pronounced spice with a hint of sweetness. I think this beer would be better with more body and less spice. A lot of American brewers think that all Belgian-style beer must have spices but most of the beer in Belgium actually doesn't.
came into work today… total beer brewer crush, dude.
Our friend and frequent visitor at Ace Hotel New York, Sam Calagione, founder and president of Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales invited us down Delaware to hang out. He showed us around his brewery in Milton, and his pub in Rahoboth Beach. After schooling us on beer with multiple tastings of both fan-based homebrew and seasonal Dogfish Head beers, we continued to climb up the company's tree house for a tasting of the new cedar spiked gin. We finished the evening with a meal at the Brewings & Eats Pub before laying out head in the Dogfish Head suite at the Inn at Canal Square.
Sam and his team share a passion for living life well, taking their craft seriously and with passion, and allowing for life's other joys to fuel their craft: music, travel, art, food, family and friends. They like to keep things off-center, and practice Beer & Benevolence. We're stoked to have Sam as a friend and look forward to exploring the world through his beer goggles.
If you haven't seen his new show Brewmasters on The Discovery Channel, check it out tonight at 8pm EST.
If you didn't know, this happened yesterday.
And with one somewhat-over-the-top comment from a very notable individual, an entire message board was whipped into calls for heightened morality, rallying the troops and reaffirming their commitment to the craft beer cause. Any twenty-something who was debating on what brewer to shove into the conversation was effectively silenced by a guy who is way more important than they are. You wouldn't dare perpetuate the discourse after reading such a comment, at the fear of the Beeradvocate wolves tearing apart your every word, whereas moments before the comment, they were fueling the very fire they were now attempting to put out.
I don't know what to make of all this.
Do I think the thread "most overrated brewer?" is kind of dumb? Well, I don't think the idea of discussing an overrated brewer is dumb. But the way it was executed throughout this thread certainly was. Of course, such is the nature of the internet; a magnet for dissenting opinions. It's very easy for Craft Drinker A to type "Founders Brewing Company," hit the "enter" key and provide no supplementary comments. I don't care if you think Founders, Dogfish Head or Avery are overrated; tell me why. And the reason has to be better than "I don't like some of their beer." Well yeah, I don't like all of Dogfish Head's beers, either. But that doesn't make them overrated. All of these brewers make a lot of different beer; the idea being that we have more potential choices to make, and everyone will feel differently about each of them, so there's something to please everyone. Some beers will hit, some will miss. That isn't enough to make a brewery "overrated." It's overrated, though, if you're paying a lot for a relatively average product. And in the craft world, that happens.
Then there's Sam, who I do admire. He could easily be the president of the "60 Minute IPA Brewing Company" and he isn't. He deserves credit there, and I admire his spirit in delivering such a thundering response to the Beeradvocate faithful. But it seems part of his argument (implied) was that it's silly to discuss what brewer is overrated because most of these breweries are still too small to even be rated to begin with. To an extent that's true, but that doesn't mean that they're beyond criticism. You and I are paying for their product. We're what make them grow, and our discussing of them, positive or negative, is publicity for their name. And you could indeed argue we have a duty to declare what's worth our dollar and what isn't. Being a relatively small brewer does not mean you're not subject to the same criticism that a big brewer is. And the "small brewer" bulletproof only holds so much water when you have the aspirations that a brewer such as Dogfish Head does.
Nobody was talking much about craft beer 15 years ago. Now, a lot of people are. The bad is inevitably going to come with the good, and these brewers are going to eventually have to learn to take the hits. Craft beer consumers will no doubt have respect for passionate, honest breweries, but that isn't enough of a reason to support them. The product has to be good, and if you think a brewer's beer (no matter how nice the brewers are) isn't up to par, you're allowed to tell them so. But we should be doing it better than this. Which of these two statements do you think is a better assessment?: "Dogfish Head is overrated because some of their beers aren't good" or "Samuel Adams' Utopias is not worth my $150."
So craft beer consumers and craft beer businesses can all be doing a little better here. Then again, this is the internet we're talking about. What 400 people on a Beeradvocate thread think is not necessarily a reflection of what people are thinking in the real world. Take it with a grain of salt.
It's going to be a looooong week because at the end of it, some of the greatest ladies ever will venture down to the District for a girls' beer weekend. On the list: Drinking Punkin Ale out of a pumpkin and attending Livingsocial's BeerFest.
Considering how fun the last LivingSocial BeerFest was, it's a real possibility that I'll die of happiness on Saturday.
Edit: Joey is coming as well - since he must be included in all Girl's Night/Weekend/___ things.
Fuck, why is Elijah Wood soo cool? Here he is during the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE drinking Namaste with Sam Calagione.
