Rally for Romney: Conservatives need to act now, before it is too late.
National Review Online ^ | January 31, 2008 | Mark R. Levin

Posted on 01/31/2008 10:37:41 AM PST by Delacon

I have spent nearly four decades in the conservative movement — from precinct worker to the Reagan White House. I campaigned for Reagan in 1976 and 1980. I served in several top positions during the Reagan administration, including chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese. I have been an active conservative when conservatism was not in high favor.

I remember in 1976, as a 19-year-old in Pennsylvania working the polls for Reagan against the sitting Republican president, Gerald Ford, I was demeaned for supporting a candidate who was said to be an extremist B-actor who couldn’t win a general election, and opposing a sitting president. And at the time Reagan wasn’t even on the ballot in Pennsylvania because he decided to focus his limited resources on other states. I tried to convince voter after voter to write-in Reagan’s name on the ballot. In the end, Reagan received about five percent of the Republican vote as a write-in candidate.

Of course, Reagan lost the nomination to Ford by the narrowest of margins. Ford went on to lose to a little-known ex-governor from Georgia, Jimmy Carter. But the Reagan Revolution became stronger, not weaker, as a result. And the rest is history.

I don’t pretend to speak for President Reagan or all conservatives. I speak for myself. But I watched the Republican debate last night, which was held at the Reagan library, and I have to say that I fear a McCain candidacy. He would be an exceedingly poor choice as the Republican nominee for president.

Let’s get the largely unspoken part of this out the way first. McCain is an intemperate, stubborn individual, much like Hillary Clinton. These are not good qualities to have in a president. As I watched him last night, I could see his personal contempt for Mitt Romney roiling under the surface. And why? Because Romney ran campaign ads that challenged McCain’s record? Is this the first campaign in which an opponent has run ads questioning another candidate’s record? That’s par for the course. To the best of my knowledge, Romney’s ads have not been personal. He has not even mentioned the Keating-Five to counter McCain's cheap shots. But the same cannot be said of McCain’s comments about Romney.

Last night McCain, who is the putative frontrunner, resorted to a barrage of personal assaults on Romney that reflect more on the man making them than the target of the attacks. McCain now has a habit of describing Romney as a “manager for profit” and someone who has “laid-off” people, implying that Romney is both unpatriotic and uncaring. Moreover, he complains that Romney is using his “millions” or “fortune” to underwrite his campaign. This is a crass appeal to class warfare. McCain is extremely wealthy through marriage. Romney has never denigrated McCain for his wealth or the manner in which he acquired it. Evidently Romney’s character doesn’t let him to cross certain boundaries of decorum and decency, but McCain’s does. And what of managing for profit? When did free enterprise become evil? This is liberal pablum which, once again, could have been uttered by Hillary Clinton.

And there is the open secret of McCain losing control of his temper and behaving in a highly inappropriate fashion with prominent Republicans, including Thad Cochran, John Cornyn, Strom Thurmond, Donald Rumsfeld, Bradley Smith, and a list of others. Does anyone honestly believe that the Clintons or the Democrat party would give McCain a pass on this kind of behavior?

As for McCain “the straight-talker,” how can anyone explain his abrupt about-face on two of his signature issues: immigration and tax cuts? As everyone knows, McCain led the battle not once but twice against the border-security-first approach to illegal immigration as co-author of the McCain-Kennedy bill. He disparaged the motives of the millions of people who objected to his legislation. He fought all amendments that would limit the general amnesty provisions of the bill. This controversy raged for weeks. Only now he says he’s gotten the message. Yet, when asked last night if he would sign the McCain-Kennedy bill as president, he dissembles, arguing that it’s a hypothetical question. Last Sunday on Meet the Press, he said he would sign the bill. There’s nothing straight about this talk. Now, I understand that politicians tap dance during the course of a campaign, but this was a defining moment for McCain. And another defining moment was his very public opposition to the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. He was the media’s favorite Republican in opposition to Bush. At the time his primary reason for opposing the cuts was because they favored the rich (and, by the way, they did not). Now he says he opposed them because they weren’t accompanied by spending cuts. That’s simply not correct.

Even worse than denying his own record, McCain is flatly lying about Romney’s position on Iraq. As has been discussed for nearly a week now, Romney did not support a specific date to withdraw our forces from Iraq. The evidence is irrefutable. And it’s also irrefutable that McCain is abusing the English language (Romney’s statements) the way Bill Clinton did in front of a grand jury. The problem is that once called on it by everyone from the New York Times to me, he obstinately refuses to admit the truth. So, last night, he lied about it again. This isn’t open to interpretation. But it does give us a window into who he is.

Of course, it’s one thing to overlook one or two issues where a candidate seeking the Republican nomination as a conservative might depart from conservative orthodoxy. But in McCain’s case, adherence is the exception to the rule — McCain-Feingold (restrictions on political speech), McCain-Kennedy (amnesty for illegal aliens), McCain-Kennedy-Edwards (trial lawyers’ bill of rights), McCain-Lieberman (global warming legislation), Gang of 14 (obstructing change to the filibuster rule for judicial nominations), the Bush tax cuts, and so forth. This is a record any liberal Democrat would proudly run on. Are we to overlook this record when selecting a Republican nominee to carry our message in the general election?

But what about his national security record? It’s a mixed bag. McCain is rightly credited with being an early voice for changing tactics in Iraq. He was a vocal supporter of the surge, even when many were not. But he does not have a record of being a vocal advocate for defense spending when Bill Clinton was slashing it. And he has been on the wrong side of the debate on homeland security. He supports closing Guantanamo Bay, which would result in granting an array of constitutional protections to al-Qaeda detainees, and limiting legitimate interrogation techniques that have, in fact, saved American lives. Combined with his (past) de-emphasis on border-security, I think it’s fair to say that McCain’s positions are more in line with the ACLU than most conservatives.

Why recite this record? Well, if conservatives don’t act now to stop McCain, he will become the Republican nominee and he will lose the general election. He is simply flawed on too many levels. He is a Republican Hillary Clinton in many ways. Many McCain supporters insist he is the only Republican who can beat Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama. And they point to certain polls. The polls are meaningless this far from November. Six months ago, the polls had Rudy winning the Republican nomination. In October 1980, the polls had Jimmy Carter defeating Ronald Reagan. This is no more than spin.

But wouldn’t the prospect of a Clinton or Obama presidency drive enough of the grassroots to the polls for McCain? It wasn’t enough to motivate the base to vote in November 2006 to stop Nancy Pelosi from becoming speaker or the Democrats from taking Congress. My sense is it won’t be enough to carry McCain to victory, either. And McCain has done more to build animus among the people whose votes he will need than Denny Hastert or Bill Frist. And there won’t be enough Democrats voting for McCain to offset the electorate McCain has alienated (and is likely to continue to alienate, as best as I can tell).

McCain has not won overwhelming pluralities, let alone majorities, in any of the primaries. A thirty-six-percent win in Florida doesn’t make a juggernaut. But the liberal media are promoting him now as the presumptive nominee. More and more establishment Republican officials are jumping on McCain’s bandwagon — the latest being Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has all but destroyed California’s Republican party.

Let’s face it, none of the candidates are perfect. They never are. But McCain is the least perfect of the viable candidates. The only one left standing who can honestly be said to share most of our conservative principles is Mitt Romney. I say this as someone who has not been an active Romney supporter. If conservatives don’t unite behind Romney at this stage, and become vocal in their support for him, then they will get McCain as their Republican nominee and probably a Democrat president. And in either case, we will have a deeply flawed president.

Those who cannot see the difference between Mitt and McCain

Who would that be? I can see the difference, just as I can see the difference between hemlock and cyanide. so at our country's peril.

Either way lies our country's peril.

It would be a little more believable if they were turning to Romney as the only remaining hope after the real conservatives were driven from the race.

Unfortunately, however, it was National Review and Hugh Hewitt and a few others who sold their heritage for a mess of pottage and bought the Romney “electability” myth to begin with.

Now we’re down to two losers, largely because of their stupidity, and they want us to hop on board the Romney express.

I would agree that Romney is the lesser of two evils. But whose fault is it that we are in this mess? National Review, Hugh Hewitt, and a few others, including some of the Evangelical leaders who got into a snit about Fred, even though he is the closest of all the conservative candidates to their own positions. Huckabee? Don’t make me laugh.

People seem to be forgetting that Romney was gov of Massacommunists! Of course he has some liberal stains on his record! Not possible for him to govern that cesspool of socialism without giving ground on some leftwing cr@p! Sheesh.

McCain, on the other hand, is FAR more flawed with NO excuse or reason.

Sheesh again.

Romney’s record is there for anyone willing to look.

I guarantee you if he was running with a (D) after his name you would see his past clearly and fight like hell to keep him out of office.

Thanks Mark for the wake up call. I’m making a donation to Mitt Romney right now. He wasn’t my first choice, but it looks like he will be my last. I can’t bring myself to back McCain.
There is too much water under the bridge for the conservative wing of the party to support him.

Go Mitt!!!!!!

Please pray for future President McCain--day minus 335 and counting! Vote Mitt=Get Billary!)

Better pray for our Country, if the best we can do is McCain.

On that note FreeRepublic has officially became irrelevant. We can now stand by and watch the MSM frenzy along with the collusion of the GOP leadership, as our country slowly ceases to exist, as a free Republic.

Well, it’s going to be a long process, and when Hillary Clinton appoints 2 leftist, pro-abortion judges to the Supreme Court, you can expect to wait 25 years to undue it.

Funny, that same "excuse" doesn't work for Huckabee, does it? MA had Republican governors back into the 1990s, and yet they did NOTHING to advance conservatism in that state. Indeed, Mitt did such a "good" job that there were 30,000 fewer registered Republicans in the state when he left office--and coincidentally, 30,000 more democrats.

If you want that same performance on a national level, support Flip.

Neither one of those pathetic liberals was ever getting my vote.

I always respect your opinion, even if I don't always agree with it.

Who do you intend to vote for in November, if you do so at all? I'm trying to determine if there is a movement here towards a candidate, as it seems most FReepers are posting in opposition towards those already in the race.

Glad to see I'm not alone. Very disheartening times. I had just come to terms with the fact that Nat'l Review now stands for nothing after they suddenly began painting Romney as a conservative. I can sort of write them off as "the establishment," but when the grassroots-oriented talkies begin down this disingenuous, Orwellian route where Romney is a suddenly conservative... absolutely speechless. As Antoninus said, if we're down to Romney it's way too late. Pinning the hopes of conservatism on a liberal like Romney? That's a nonsensical option.

The discussion within the movement ought to be about post-2008 politics and where we ought to go. Because no matter which party wins the Presidency, conservatism has lost a major battle. And sadly, many intellectual and grassroots leaders are damaging themselves with this odd shilling for Romney.

In the real world in which we live, we rarely get everything we want. Romney, not my first choice, seems to be the leader I can rally behind. I will do so rather than go home crying.

Romney is every bit as bad as Christie Whittman. And we're still crying over her here in NJ, aren't we? Especially now that her brand of Republicanism rules the shell of the Republican party she left behind.

If you want that kind of experience on a national level, support Mitt.

French Macaron Research

It's not always about sewing around here. In fact it's rarely about sewing lately.

A few weeks ago I was sick in bed all Friday. Not horrible sick, just sick enough that when I tried to do things, all I wanted was to go back to bed. I got the kids off to school and went back to sleep until 11, but after that I was pretty bored. Sitting still drives me nuts!

For some reason I decided to watch YouTube videos on making French Macarons. I have always wanted to try making these perfectly, beautiful cookies, but have been too nervous to give it a go. I knew they were tricky, but after four hours of the University of YouTube under my belt, I felt pretty confident to finally try. Then I tried again, and again and again. Just yesterday I made a pretty fantastic batch and love them! These are lemon, and they are my favorite so far. I have been using this recipe from the Joy of Baking and it has worked well for me. This recipe uses the French meringue method and comes together pretty quickly.

There are so many different tricks and tips out there. I try something a bit different each time I make them. I'm still attempting to reach perfection--perfect feet, no hallow shells, and beautiful smooth tops! No one around me complains too much at my desire to keep trying to make these beautiful little cookies. I've been spreading the love with all my cookie attempts!

For my third try, I used the Italian meringue method. It's more work, takes longer and didn't seem to make that much difference in the end. The cookies did turn out pretty well, but might not be worth the extra work when the French method worked well too. They bake up really pretty and had perfect ruffled feet (the base of the cookie)! I'm still torn between which method I'll stick with.

My second try was a bit over-mixed and flat. These ones didn't raise as well as I would have liked. The dark chocolate ganache was yummy, but I felt it overpowered these cookies just a bit too much. I favor the creamy and fruity flavors much more in macarons.

My first attempt was under-mixed because I was so afraid of messing up the batter, and I didn't mix them for quite as long as I should have. They have rough tops and didn't spread at all. The batter was simply too thick. The filling so amazing though. It's just cream cheese mixed with good quality raspberry jam to taste. Such a perfect filling for these cookies!

It's been fun seeing progress as I experiment and figure out this new adventure. I'll be making more this weekend to send to my sister. What are your favorite flavors?

Waxed Canvas Bags

I ventured into using waxed canvas recently. I've seen various bags on Instagram made with waxed canvas and have been meaning to try it out. In fact I purchased a swatch kit about two years ago from an Etsy shop, and it's taken me this long to finally commit and try it out.

The main project that started all of this was a new camera bag. I wanted a purse-like camera bag that wasn't obviously a camera bag. I wanted it just big enough to hold my camera and perhaps one additional lens. I opted to buy an insert from Amazon that would be transferable between purses, but I also wanted one tailored more toward ease of carrying. A messenger bag is perfect.

I started with my old Messenger Bag Tutorial from a few years back. I changed it up quite a bit as I wanted a contrasting base and wanted to change up the exterior pockets. I was no longer in love with how I designed them initially.

I made them higher than in the original design. Rather than adding piping, I simply rolled the lining to lay slightly higher than the exterior fabric before top-stitching. It saved so much time, but still has the appearance and contrast detail of piping.

The more you work with the waxed canvas, the more distressed it looks. This was exactly what I was going for with this bag.

The one thing I regret with this bag was the pockets. Because I made this bag with the intent of using the camera insert, I skimped a bit on pockets. I also didn't include a zipper pocket. I changed that on the next two bags I've made using this same design.

Here it is with the camera insert. It slips in easily with a few extra inches on the side for my wallet and other necessities.

When I placed my fabric order for my first bag, I didn't plan well on how much fabric I needed and ordered too much. What's a girl to do with too much fabric...well, make another bag of course! This bag is essentially just a very large pouch with handles. I used similar dimensions to a Trader Joes bag, but with a zipper across the top.

I also tried leather handles with rivets for the first time. I love, love, love the look of leather handles!

I opted not to put any pockets on this bag. It's meant to be a simple tote to keep in the car for library runs, or a small trip to the store.

Then I received a custom order and made another...

And then I received another custom order. I think this one is my favorite of the three!

A new quilt on the wall

A few weeks ago I wanted to start something new. I pulled out piles of fabric, put my design wall back up and started experimenting. I came up with this block which is similar to a geometric design I saw elsewhere. I used the Quick Curve Ruler to design and cut these blocks. I'm undecided as to how big it will be or if I'll incorporate any additional colors . We'll see where it goes!

Scraps Inc. Vol 2

This is a new Scraps Inc. book! It was just released this week!

I had the opportunity to contribute to the first volume, and was thrilled when I was again asked to contribute to the second volume. Lucky Spool Media does a great job on their books, and it is always an pleasure to see my work next to projects by so many other amazing quilters. Volume 2 is even better than Volume 1!

My quilt in this book is Confetti!

 My goal with this quilt was to put together a project that appeared random with an improv feel, but with the order of a reproducible pattern. As per my usual style, I stayed away from crazy scrappy and went with orderly scrappy. I love a scrappy project with a color palette. The color ideas for this quilt hit me one day while I was cleaning out my purse. I have a navy purse with tan straps and gold hardware, a bright pink wallet, mint green water bottle and pink lip gloss. They were all sitting there and together it was perfect! I adore the gold accents in this quilt. Luckily for me, the metallic fabric craze was really getting going about the time I made this quilt for the book. The selection of metallics is even better now. It adds such a fun twist to any quilt to incorporate these fabrics.

Katie Jump Rope-- My love affair with a fabric line

Is there one particular line of fabric that you have always adored? For me it was Katie Jump Rope. Unfortunately, it came out about a year before I started quilting. I was able to get my hands a few prints before it was entirely gone, but I have never been willing to pay the exorbitant mark ups. I would use the few pieces I have sparingly, scattered through various projects, but always horded them a bit.

When it was announced that there were be a Katie Jump Rope reprint, I was instantly on board. Although, when I actually had the chance to buy it I wasn't sure I was still in love with it. Do you ever have that experience--you desperately want something until you can have it, and then you aren't so sure? Considering I haven't been sewing nearly as much lately, I really thought this purchase through. Do I really want it? I asked myself this question so many times. I have tried to be much less frivolous with my fabric purchases--only buying something if I have a specific need for a project.

When Pink Castle Fabrics had 20% everything the weekend after Thanksgiving, I decided to splurge. I've liked this line for eight years and have loved pretty much every project I've ever seen made with it.

It arrived today! It's really pretty. I'm glad I splurged.

The only thing I'm sad about is the fact that they took away some of the really great colored prints prints. I think the reprint is a bit too heavy on the brown. I intended to make a quilt with only the KJR prints, but I'll likely incorporate some other DS prints into the mix to add more color. I feel like it especially needs more red and orange.

I still have about a FQ of this print from the original line which will certainly work it's way into my quilt. This was one of my absolute favorite red prints ever. I'm sad this one didn't make the cut for the reprint.

I've missed sewing, and it's fun to be back with a project! I've decided to make this lovely stack of fabrics into a quilt using the Shimmer pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew. I think it will be the perfect compliment for these prints!

Every once in a while I crave the precision of paper piecing. It's fun to work on a project like this (at least for a little while). I felt this way a while back and started a new project. I had a bin full of scraps from a previous project that needed used.

I opted for a pattern that has been floating around Instagram a bit. This is a variation on Grandma's Surprise from Then and Now Quilts by Joyce Giezler. This little guy is just 18" finished. I recently completed the quilting and am currently considering a binding. I'll likely go with navy to frame it.

Mini quilts are a great way to try out a new technique or get something out of your system. I personally wouldn't ever want to paper piece an entire quilt, but I love it for small projects. It would never finish a whole paper-pieced quilt. This mini alone took me a couple months to actually complete. Now that I've done a little paper piecing, I'm ready to get back into a project that's more satisfying for me and a little less rigid.

New Pouches!

Just a few new pouches!

I made these framed clutches using Diane Stanley's (random or di) pattern. I went a little light on the interfacing. Next time I'll certainly use something with more body.

These are both made with velveteen from Anna Maria Horner. It is perfect for these clutches.

I've been itching to use some of my selvages I've been saving for years. I finally pulled out some of my Cotton & Steel pieces and made this wide open pouch.

I sewed the selvages to cotton duck. The base is navy linen with some metallic accent stitching.

It goes perfectly with my new Super Tote!

Exposed: FSC-certified clear-cutting of Massachusetts public forests, USATags: USA, Accreditation controls, SCS

A new website launched recently reveals the destruction of Massachusetts public forests by clear-cutting, even though they have been FSC certified. Clearcutting MA Public Lands shows a series of aerial photographs taken by a local activist.

The more than half million acres of Massachusetts Public Forests, including the Savoy Forest, were certified by Scientific Certification Systems Inc, in August 2004. SCS evidently had difficulty in massaging the state public bodies through the certification process: of the 17 'conditions' which SCS had attached to the certificate between 2002, when assessment began, and 2004, only two conditions had been 'closed out' by the time the certificate was issued...[Continue]

Galician environmental group Verdegaia and a confederation of 300 environmental groups from Spain have demanded that the the FSC certificate of eucalyptus plantation company NORFOR should be immediately cancelled.

As FSC-Watch has previously reported, the certificate has already been the subject of a formal complaint. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in no action by FSC - though FSC continues to maintain the fiction that it has an effective complaints procedure...[Continue]

Logging at Clayoquot Sound - thanks to FSCTags: Canada, High Conservation Value Forests, Rainforest Alliance SmartWood

During the 1990s, Clayoquot Sound was the site of the largest anti-logging protests in Canada's history. Today FSC certification is legitimising industrial-scale logging in Clayoquot Sound.

FSC-watch recently received the photographs below of logging in Clayoquot Sound. The company involved is Ecotrust Canada, FSC-certified by SmartWood in 2006. "At the core of it all," says Kent Goodyear of Ecotrust, "we encourage the notion of people relating to where they live, and trying to live in a sustainable manner. This is the underlying principle that makes FSC a valuable conservation tool in my work."

The photographs came with the following note:

"How does this warrant FSC certification? It is a recipe for blowdown and slides on these weatherbeaten coastal mountains, not to mention the drastic loss of salmon...[Continue]

It is customary in many organisations to give out-going staff a photo-album showing the person's accomplishments, for them to cherish in future years. We can't do that for Heiko Liedeker, who is finally departing as FSC Executive Director, but what we would like to do with this posting is to show some of what has gone so badly wrong in the past - and what we expect the new Executive Director to put right.

About us

We are a support group that was originally started in the United States. In November 2001 a group of individuals with the condition set up this UK Internet based support group to help those with the disease by offering a database of practical information as well as a message board.

It is hoped that this support group will enable those with the disease to discuss with others their experiences and exchange information of value in order to find answers to their concerns.

We operate entirely on a voluntary basis. We have no source of income and the group is run by people with the condition for the benefit of those who have the condition.

The Session: Three Things

My post for this month's iteration of The Session is a tad late, something of a theme recently, but when I last looked at The Session's web page, no topic had been announced, and I only discovered the topic this morning. Our host for this month is Jay Brooks, one of the founders of The Session, and his theme is looking for answers to three questions, so let me oblige....

Jay's first question is:
what one word, or phrase, do you think should be used to describe beer that you’d like to drink. Craft beer seems to be the most agreed upon currently used term, but many people think it’s losing its usefulness or accuracy in describing it. What should we call it, do you think?
The word that immediately springs to mind is classic.

When I think about the kind of beers I like to drink they are all well established styles with widely accepted parameters. Think about a pilsner, four simple ingredients is all that it needs, malt, noble hops, lager yeast, and soft water. Consider the best bitter, again the simple interplay of good pale malt, with some crystal or toasted malts chucked in for flavour and colour, English hops, characterful yeast, and whatever water you have knocking around essentially. The third in my classic triumvirate is dry stout a la Guinness. When you drink an example of any of these styles you know what to expect and that for me is part of their appeal, I don't want to be challenged by random ingredients, twists, or new fangled ideas of what a beer style could be, I want a quality interpretation of a classic style.

Question the second is:
what two breweries do you think are very underrated? Name any two places that don’t get much attention but are quietly brewing great beer day in and day out. And not just one shining example, but everything they brew should be spot on. And ideally, they have a great tap room, good food, or other stellar amenities of some kind. But for whatever reason, they’ve been mostly overlooked. Maybe 2018 should be the year they hit it big. Who are they?
This is a very difficult question to answer, especially when you consider what is meant by 'underrated'? Rated by whom? Depending on how you answer that question, you could argue that Sierra Nevada are underrated because for the trend chasers they are insufficiently sexy, even though they simply do not make a bad beer in their range.

Assuming though that we are not talking about such ratings, my first choice would be the winners of the Fuggled Amber Beer of the Year for 2017, Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in Charlotte, NC. Olde Meck are a rarity in the American brewing scene in that all their beers are German styles and they don't brew a single IPA - fancy that, a brewery sufficiently confident in their products so as not to pander to the IPA worshippers. Whether it is their altbier, pilsner, dunkel, or Oktoberfest, every beer I have has from them has been superb, and whenever I go to South Carolina with Mrs V, I know I will be stocking up for the return trip as they are yet to be distributed in Virginia.

Sticking with the Carolina theme, my second underrated brewery is actually the oldest brewery in Columbia, South Carolina, Hunter Gatherer. I still remember my first trip there, having walked 7 miles from Mrs V's childhood home into the centre of Columbia a couple of days after Christmas in 2011. As they are currently in the latter stages of opening a production brewery, I am limiting myself here to their brewpub, which is in many ways the archetype of a brewpub that I would love to open. A fairly limited selection of only 4 beers, technically 5 but their don't brew a lager so they have Warsteiner (if memory serves) on tap, but each well made and tasty, bare brick walls, wooden furniture, and excellent food coming from the kitchen. I make a point of visiting whenever we go south, you should too.

The third and final question is:
name three kinds of beer you’d like to see more of
This one is relatively simple:
  • Best Bitter - there is only one brewed with any regularity in this part of Virginia, and it's my recipe. I am not sure if the American drinking public really get the idea of a bitter in general, perhaps confused by the notion of a bitter beer or even the idea that hoppy beers don't have to taste like grapefruit juice. Whatever the stumbling block, I wish more breweries would take the bull by the horns and make this wonderful style, and then serve it at cellar temperature, from a beer engine.
  • Dark Mild - sure there is a healthy dose of self interest here, being the founder of American Mild Month (which will be back this year for it's 4th outing), but I tend to think that any brewer worth his or her salt is well able to brew a mild and make it interesting. Sometimes all I want after work on a Friday is to down a few pints in short order, and mild is the perfect beer with which to do so.
  • Altbier - there are few better beers than fresh altbier, and while there are a few available locally, they all seem to use crystal malts to give the expected colour, but then contribute a slick sweetness that really doesn't work with the style at all. More examples like Olde Meck's Copper would be more than welcome.
All classic styles, all wonderfully well made, and all worth sitting in the pub for hours drinking, which is kind of the whole point of beer as far as I am concerned.

Beer and Breweries of 2017

A bit late admittedly, though there are mitigating circumstances involving trips to the emergency room with my twin sons, but as they say, never late than never eh? I have somewhat rationalised this year's lists by having just a single 'Virginia' entry rather than splitting it into central VA and the rest of the commonwealth as in years passim. With that, let's dive on in.

  • Virginia - Devils Backbone Czech 10
  • Rest of US - Sierra Nevada Nooner
  • Rest of World - Rothaus Tannenzäpfle
  • Honorable mentions - Pilsner Urquell, Three Notch'd The Ghost, New Belgium Dayblazer, Black Sheep Ale

Admit it, you're shocked that my three choices here are all pilsners. If you are then clearly you haven't been paying enough attention. Anyway, all three are wonderful versions of my favourite pale lager style, all crisp, clean, painfully easy to drink, and so beautifully made it makes you wonder why people bother with dumping random shit in the fermenter. Choosing just one is tricky, but when it comes down to it, having a desítka in Virginia puts DB's lovely Czech 10 ahead by a short nose.

  • Virginia - Port City Oktoberfest
  • Rest of US - Olde Mecklenburg Copper
  • Rest of World - Minipivovar U Medvídků Oldgott Barrique
  • Honorable mentions - Schlenkerla Märzen, Fullers 1845, O'Hara's Irish Red, Three Notch'd Hydraulion

Whenever Mrs V and I, and I guess from here on in for a few years, the twins as well, head to South Carolina I always make a point of getting some Copper from Olde Mecklenburg Brewing in Charlotte, NC. Copper is an altbier that unlike many that claim to be of that style over here isn't made with caramel malts in place of the traditional Munich malts. It is as close a genuine altbier as you will find brewed in the US, and I love the stuff.

  • Virginia - South Street Brewing Munich Dunkel
  • Rest of US - Anchor Brewing Porter
  • Rest of World - Riegele Noctus 100
  • Honorable mentions - Sierra Nevada Porter, Sierra Nevada Stout, Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout, Three Notch'd Oats McGoats, Sv. Norbert Dark Lager

While in Columbia for Thanksgiving, I stocked up on beers that I rarely, if ever, see here in Virginia and it is one of those that walks off with the title of Fuggled dark beer of the year. Anchor Porter is a beer I had heard much about but never actually seen in the wild. When I popped open a bottle to go with my dinner one evening I was blown away with just how complex and beautifully made it was, especially given it's comparatively lightweight 5.6% abv - one I will be stocking up on whenever I am in SC for sure.

Fuggled Beer of the Year

Of my three category beers of the year, the one that walks away with the overall Fuggled Beer of the Year will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone that knows me. I will quite openly admit to the fact that I enjoy drinking beer, I am not much of one for visiting breweries and sampling their wares before moving on to another brewery and repeating the experience. If I do flights it is to find what I want to drink for the rest of my session. When I found out that my friends down at Devils Backbone were making a 10° Czech style pale lager I was excited to try it, and it was simply one of the best examples of the style I have ever drunk, up there with the likes of Kout na Šumavě and Zlatá labuť. Being able to sit in the Devils Backbone brewpub with friends, enjoying superb food, and the perfect desítka to wash it all down with, was sublime. Well done Devils Backbone, the Fuggled Beer of the Year is Czech 10, please make it again!!

  • Virginia - Three Notch'd Brewing
  • Rest of US - Sierra Nevada Brewing
  • Rest of World - Guinness
  • Honorable mentions - Devils Backbone, AleWerks, Fullers, Olde Mecklenburg Brewing,
I am sure I have said this many a time, but I am a terrible beer tourist, and as such I don't tend to go off on brewery sampling trips. I am also a rather conservative drinker in the sense that I tend to find breweries that I trust to make quality beers and I stick to them. Given the price of a six pack these days, there is no way I am splashing north of $10 for a six pack without knowing that I will be enjoying every beer. There is one brewery that in my world stands heads and shoulders above all overs at the moment and I think I have drunk more of their beer this year than any other brewery. Congrats then to Sierra Nevada Brewing for being the Fuggled Brewery of the Year for 2017, keep up the great work!

Telling the Gospel my way

ROG_0cIt’s me! I haven’t written here for a long while now, I know. A lot has happened in my life during the past 3 years, and especially in the last 6 months, but let me just say that I’ve been working on something very important to me: Drawing, writing and editing a comic book based on the Bible — it’s a retelling of the Jesus story, to say it simply (but it’s a lot more complex than that!).
This has been the project of my heart, my dream, for many years. And I’m happy to say that I’m hitting the last few miles on this marathon! A few more pages, and then lots of editing and book-making, and the comic will be ready. And you can find everything about it on my new website

Logotype straight_small

This website is tiny now, but I will work on this bit by bit. And I will write about art and faith on a new blog on The Reign of God soon, under my pen name Issey Fujishima. Make sure you subscribe to the newsletter. It will be exciting!

Telling the story of Jesus, his life and passion, it’s always been important to me. I believe that this comic is how I can tell it in a fresh, fun and profound way that makes you care about the people who have laid the foundations of Christianity, and think about the meaning of faith and love. Yoroshiku!

Comment of the Day

August 27 2013

Commentary by Eoin Treacy

Email of the day (3)

on the origins of high frequency trading
“I hope you are enjoying a long weekend. I came across this interview with the 'Inventor of HFT' which is a great story on many levels, and a surprise warning...alas the genie is out of the bottle.”

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this educative interview which highlights the innovations that led to the current environment high frequency traders exist in and the extremes to which the sector has evolved.

There is little doubt that program and automated trading helped to reduce commissions in the financial markets which can be viewed as a positive from the perspective of investors. However it should also be highlighted that just as with foreign exchange bureaus offering zero commissions, spreads and market slippage are also important considerations. Automated traders do not provide value in either of these regards.

What we are now faced with is a situation where automated trading systems are front running just about all orders and represent a significant threat not only to confidence but to the integrity of the system. This suggests that if the capital formation function of the market is to be preserved, the sector needs to be more closely scrutinised by regulators.

Blockades back…

BLOCKADES of supermarket depots have started again and look set to continue on a regular basis covering all the main companies.

Pembrokeshire farmer Rhys Parry led his army across the border to the Safeway depot near Bristol last week where he was joined by farmers from Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon.

Last July Safeway said it would be promoting and supporting Welsh lamb, but the minute the price started rising a little, in came the New Zealand lamb by air using tax-free aviation fuel, said Mr Parry.

John Pratt, chairman of the Welsh region of the National Beef Association, said the police officer in charge had congratulated the gathering on the way they had handled the demonstration and wished them well. That was a major contrast with similar events last year involving other supermarkets, when large numbers of police in riot gear were paraded, he said.

"This was not a yob mob, they were high calibre farmers, some of them in a substantial way of business and looking to protect their future." Another group of farmers blockaded Safeways depot at Warrington, Lancs, on the same night, protesting about low milk prices. Next day farmers representing the main sectors met Safeway managers in Bristol. Safeway denied they were trying to put farmers out of business by forcing prices down.

They could not pay more with the top three highly competitive chains looking down on them.

Five-year rollover for EU sugar

A FIVE-YEAR rollover of the EU sugar regime is looking increasingly likely after rejection of the commissions reform proposals by the European parliament this week.

Under the original plans, sugar quota would be cut by about 1% from July and storage reimbursements abolished. Agriculture commissioner Franz Fischler was also looking to keep the current quota-based system for just two more years. More radical reforms were pencilled in for 2003, possibly involving the dismantling of quotas.

But, after a debate on Monday, MEPs voted by 349 to 125 against these ideas. Instead, they backed a report by French MEP Joseph Daul calling for an extension to the current sugar regime until 2006.

"The common market organisation for sugar has already undergone several reforms including an agreement to cut quota by 500,000t for the 2000/2001 marketing year," said Irish MEP Liam Hyland. Changing it now would undermine farmers confidence in the EU to deliver stability.

British Conservative MEP Robert Sturdy added that the existing support regime was unique. "First, the taxpayer does not pay for it. Second, it benefits farmers directly, unlike many parts of the CAP. And thirdly, it helps some of the poorest countries in the world."

Generally the parliament believed the regime had worked well for 30 years and the changes suggested by the commission were unnecessary.

Mr Fischler could ignore the parliaments opinion. But with 10 member states in the EU farm council already calling for a five-year rollover, that seems unlikely.

"This is good news," said the NFUs Brussels adviser, Betty Lee. "I would be surprised if he goes for anything other than a five-year rollover." A decision is expected in the April or May farm council. &#42

Diazyme Introduces Liquid Stable Enzymatic Lithium Test

Diazyme Introduces Liquid Stable Enzymatic Lithium Test

Dec 15, 2008

its liquid stable enzymatic lithium test kit for the quantitative determination of lithium levels in blood samples.

Compared to existing methods, the new Diazyme lithium assay provides improved reagent stability and a reduced cost per test. The assay features excellent accuracy and precision and offers an extended reportable range of 0.1-3.0 mmole/L lithium which will reduce the need for re-testing elevated patient samples. The method also demonstrates no significant interference from indigenous ions and other interfering substances including hemoglobin, bilirubin, triglycerides and ascorbic acid. The assay can be applied to most common clinical chemistry analyzers, and application parameters are available from Diazyme.

Lithium has remained a first line treatment for the past fifty years and is considered by many physicians to be one of the corner stones for treating mode and affective disorders. Highly effective Lithium has been shown to be successful in improving both the manic and depressive symptoms in up to as many as 70 to 80% of these types of patients and is considered the drug of choice for reduction of suicide risk in bipolar illness.

"Diazyme's new enzymatic lithium assay provides a convenient and cost effective test method which will benefit laboratories, physicians and the patients they care for," said Dr. Chong Yuan, Managing Director of Diazyme Laboratories.

Diazyme Laboratories is a division of General Atomics headquartered in La Jolla, California. Diazyme uses its enzyme platform technologies to develop low cost and uniform diagnostic products for clinical and research uses.

Products include diagnostic blood tests for liver disease, cardiac markers, diabetes, renal disease and electrolytes. Diazyme's enzyme technology and related products can be found in its website at www.diazyme.com.

"Horizon Zero Dawn" copies have allegedly been spotted in the wild with a Brazilian retailer reportedly selling the PS4 exclusive weeks before its release. It is expected that "Horizon Zero Dawn" would release publicly in the US on Feb. 28, 2017 while gamers in Europe may have to wait until Mar. 1, 2017 to get hold of the game. In the meantime, the "Horizon Zero Dawn" developers took a risk and placed a female character as the protagonist of the game.

New UK TV Commercial Outbreak

Sony also managed to release a new "Horizon Zero Dawn" TV commercial in the UK. Simultaneously, news broke out that several copies of "Horizon Zero Dawn" have already started to appear prior to the game's street date. The NEOGAF user viHuGi revealed the news of the post-release breakout, WCCFTech reported. It is expected that Sony would be able to manage the number of leaks that may breakout following the unauthorized release of the game.

In the previous week, Sony also revealed the full map of "Horizon Zero Dawn" after the game's preview embargo had been listed. Note that the game has been announced as a PS4 exclusive. Furthermore, "Horizon Zero Dawn" also went gold following a development cycle of 5-6 years.

"Horizon Zero Dawn" Protagonist Tagged As PlayStation Icon Of The Future

In other news, Sony recently revealed that the female protagonist of "Horizon Zero Dawn" may just be the console's icon of the future. The game is believed to be a new direction for the developer, Guerrilla Games. Note that instead for opting for a Killzone shooter, "Horizon Zero Dawn" takes on an open world RPG approach, GameSpot reported.

"Horizon Zero Dawn" is also believed to be the company's next big franchise. Interestingly, Sony had to conduct focus tests to see the reactions of gamers to a female protagonist inspired by the "Game of Thrones" character Ygritte. Moreover, Guerilla Games is said to be focused on creating a curious and determined character believable in this new world. Watch the new PS4 trailer here:

StopTollsRI Calls for Immediate Halt to All RhodeWorks/Toll Funded Activity

Cites Significant Reduction In 6/10 Connector Costs, NY Court Ruling Against Truck Tolls

Providence, RI - today echoes Representative Patricia Morgan's call for an immediate halt to any spending and borrowing supported by the state's truck toll scheme. A recent federal court decision last month
ruled as unconstitutional the State of New York’s program which collected truck tolls to fund non-truck infrastructure.

"This ruling in New York places Rhode Island's truck toll law in clear legal jeopardy," emphasized spokesperson Monique Chartier.  "It punches a second hole in the claim that our tolls will be ruled legal and opens another large door to litigation."

From the beginning, the Rhode Island Trucking Association and the American Trucking Association have strongly questioned the constitutionality of tolling only certain classes of trucks. However, a lawsuit that would determine their legality cannot be brought until trucks are actually tolled, long after tax dollars are spent on toll infrastructure and, even worse, taxpayers are put on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in unnecessary borrowing. also questions the necessity of tolls in light of the significant ratcheting back of the 6/10 Connector project.

"The feds refused Rhode Island a FASTLANE grant.  So no matching state funds are needed for that grant and the scope of the project itself has been cut back," Chartier pointed out.  "Accordingly, we join Representative Morgan's call for state leaders to suspend all toll-related activity until their legality is determined by the courts.  To do otherwise, especially in the wake of the New York court ruling, is to lead the state and taxpayers into a legal morass that would pale in comparison to the 38 Studios debacle." is a grassroots movement formed to oppose tolls and dedicated to educating voters on where General Assembly incumbents and candidates stand on tolls.  Please visit to see how incumbent legislators voted on tolls and which challengers oppose them.

The Summer Repertory Season is being launched at Darlington Civic Theatre, giving audiences the chance to see four very different plays, all by leading dramatists, with all star casts, directed by Ian Dickens.

The season kicks off with An Evening With Gary Lineker by Arthur Smith and Chris England (June 13-17). Summer Rep season favourite Peter Amory (Emmerdale's Chris Tate) stars alongside Matthew Cottle (Game On) and Katherine Dow Blyton (Hollyoaks) in this sharp and funny comedy.

The second production in the season is the classic period drama Wuthering Heights (June 20-24) Emily Bronte's classic tale of obsession, passion and love stars Michelle Hardwick (The Royal) as Cathy, and Oliver Stoney as Heathcliff.

Following the success of last year's hilarious Caught In the Net, Ian Dickens Productions this year presents another Ray Cooney classic, Funny Money (June 27-July 1). Starring in this entertaining game of cat and mouse is the hugely popular John Altman (Nasty Nick from EastEnders), Chris Ellison (The Bill), Vicki Michelle (Allo, Allo) and Peter Blake (Dear John).

Noel Coward's wickedly funny final play, Star Quality is a wonderful end to the Summer Repertory Season (July 4-8).

Each of the four plays runs Tuesday to Saturday with performances every evening and a matinee on Thursday. Save on ticket prices with VIP packages if you book for more than one play. Box office - 01325 486555.

It sometimes seems a touch cruel, but homework is a fact of life for today's children, and becomes more and more important the older a child gets. How much should they do, how can you help them?

How much?

The Government has guidelines for how much work children of different ages should do:

Years 1 and 2: one hour per week.

Years 3 and 4: 90 minutes per week.

Years 5 and 6: 30 minutes a day.

Years 7 and 8: 45-90 minutes a day.

Year 9: 60-120 minutes a day.

Year 10 and 11: 90-150 minutes a day.

Year 12 and 13: depends on individual programmes.

If you think that your child isn't being set enough work or, more worryingly, is being asked to do too much, contact the school.

But before you do, double check your facts.

Homework doesn't always entail your child having to put pen to paper.

They might have been asked to look over and revise a topic covered in class that day, or read a chapter in a book.

This type of homework can be every bit as important as completing written assignments.

Remember, too, that children have a tendency to forget that they have been set homework, and can occasionally be a little economical with the truth when asked if they've been given homework.

Helping with study.

TIME: Help your child develop the homework habit by making it an integral part of the evening routine.

SPACE: They'll need a room where they can be free from distractions (ie. away from the television) and noisy siblings. But don't insist on quiet.

It might not be your cup of tea, but young people often find that it's easier to study when their favourite band is blasting away in the background

HELP: Homework has its critics, but it does encourage children to take responsibility for their own learning.

So, as far as possible, leave your child to get on with it.

But there are ways you can help - for example, help them find relevant books or websites, act as a sounding board for ideas, be a walking thesaurus, explain a concept they didn't understand in class.

WEB GUIDE. for more information.

ENCOURAGING your child to do well and giving them confidence is a key part of helping them learn.

Harry Lea-Gerard is a Kumon Maths instructor.

"Building confidence is about practise", he says.

* Make sure your child knows what is expected of them.

* Try to protect your child from the stresses of SATs, and competition with other children.

* If they feels like giving up, make it clear that giving up is not an option, but ease off and give plenty of positive encouragement.

* The main thing is that they keep trying, and that you keep praising them for it.

* A little bit of effort every day is better than one big effort once a week or once a month.

* We let our kids down sometimes if we let them give up as soon as they find something hard.

* Praise by being specific. Just noticing your child's achievement is praise in itself.

* Praise the specific effort involved. It's the behaviour you want to encourage, results will follow.

* Saying: "You went and fetched your homework without being asked" means more than "You are a good girl" or "that's very good".

* Don't go over the top. Kids know when you're not being sincere.

* Negative comments have a lasting effect on a child's self-image. "Lazy", "not the brightest", "he struggles with maths" will all help the child to see him or herself as being lazy or stupid.

World Time Zones

There are many sources of world time zone data and maps available. I have combined several of them into a single file for Google Earth which will let you easily switch between the different versions and use the one that works best for your purpose.

Eric Muller Version – This version covers the United States only. It is included because it has a much greater level of detail than other time zone maps of the Unites States.

Valery35 Version - Created by Valery35 at the Google Earth BBS. Static map consisting of colored polygons showing the time zone boundaries.

Shimakaze Version - Created by Shimakaze at the Google Earth BBS. Static map consisting of the time zone borders. I’m including it because the resolution of the data appears to be greater than any of the other sources.

Barnabu Version - Created by Barnabu of the the Google Earth Visualization Blog. Dynamic map which shows polygons of the time zones. Clicking on one of the time zone polygons shows the current Standard time and GMT offset.

CIA Word Factbook Version - From the CIA World Factbook. This is a traditional digital map that I converted to be viewed in Google Earth.

H.M. Nautical Almanac Office Version – From the U.S. Naval Oceanography Portal. Another digital map the I converted to be viewed in Google Earth.

    If you know of any other good time zone data or maps, please post a comment and I will try to add it to this collection.

    Note: Given the complexity of how global time zones work, there are likely errors and inconsistencies with most/all of these maps and none of this data should be considered “official”. Here is a great source of time zone data.

A HEAVILY pregnant woman carried her daughter down six flights of stairs to avoid thick smoke from a fire at a Sunbury high-rise block of flats.

Six fire engines, eight police cars and four ambulances rushed to Elm Court in Grangewood Drive at around 6.15pm on Tuesday after the blaze broke out in the rubbish bins on the ground floor.

Smoke spread up the rubbish chute, spilling out onto the landings when residents in the 15-storey block opened hatches to deposit their waste, and trapping some residents in their flats.

The mother, who wished to remain anonymous, said she, her partner and one-year-old daughter were among the first to leave the flats down the six flights of stairs from the seventh floor.

Speaking on Wednesday, she said: "My partner took the rubbish out, opened the door to the rubbish chute and smoke just billowed out and filled up the rubbish area, so I grabbed my daughter and got out.

"I just grabbed her shoes and a jacket. My first thought was 'just get her out'.

"We weren't scared, but were just wondering what the hell was going on to be honest.

"I am pregnant and due today, so we're just grateful that my partner went out when he did."

The young couple, who have lived in the flat since June, said they heard another resident on the 15th floor had waved from her window for firemen to rescue her.

Ten firefighters with breathing apparatus led eight residents to safety, and Egham firefighter Graham Betts carried one woman, believed to be aged in her 50s, to safety.

Mr Betts said: "The fire was in the basement of the building in the rubbish bins and the smoke had gone all the way up the rubbish chute and filled the building with smoke.

"A lot of the residents could not leave the building.

"The woman was in shock and could not get herself down the stairs so I carried her down.

"She was very upset and very scared, it was just shock really. Her legs were going and I thought she was going to fall so rather than have her fall I thought I would carry her down.

"She and another lady were taken to hospital and treated for smoke."

Residents were allowed back into their homes at around 9.20pm.

Surrey Police said the cause of the fire was not suspicious.

Gettysburg Review
Gettysburg College | 300 N. Washington Street | Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

She was ready to burst
        into blossom that spring day
                we picked her up after school

and she couldn’t wait to tell
        what she’d learned. . . .

“Errata Mystagogia”

by Bruce Beasley

There, in the misprints and vacant
pages, garbled
syntax of the proofreaders’ spoils,

even the word disfiguring disfigured,
in the trail of twelve misspellings, . . .

“The Robbers of Karnataka”

by James Spencer

The pilgrims are waiting for lunch in the dining room of the Ashreya Hotel in Bangalore, South India. Their leader, Pearl, sits at one end of the banquet table with eleven pilgrims on one side and thirteen on the other. Bannister has counted. Bannister will count the number of cars parked in a block, the number of windows in a hotel, the number of chapatis on a plate. Greta has offered to let him count the hairs on her head.

“One on One”

by James McKean

If I had thought about it beforehand, a fifteen–foot radius means a thirty-foot flash, but the tube and its sizzle had already plopped into the gravel. Then exploded. Filled every sense, ears boxed and ringing, breath blown out, a slap in the face, my eyes pitted with orange and red, two bright circles I saw everywhere I looked. The echo of bludgeoned air rolled down the campus hill into Pullman. No toy did that to your heart.

Black Keys return to Edmonton in October

Black Keys GigCity EdmontonIf you were to play only the Black Keys on a piano, it would sound like the blues – which says a lot for the thus-named band that cut such a wide swath through the modern rock landscape. In short, the Black Keys brought sexy back to rock ‘n’ roll just as Justin Timberlake did for pop music. The world owes them a debt.

Back again are the beloved nerdly duo Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, playing Rexall Place on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

TICKETS go on sale Friday, May 23.

The Black Keys are touring behind a new album, Turn Blue, in stores in various forms on May 13, and streaming right now on iTunes and YouTube.

It comes with a rave review in case you can’t wait to listen … “consistently gripping …” says Rolling Stone, comparing it to Clash’s great London Calling. Consider expectations raised.

What does the album title mean? The guys helpfully laid out some possibilities:

A: Suffocation

B: Sadness

C: Numbness from extreme cold

D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi

E: All of the above

No choice for the blues.
