I was just checking these guys out. Interesting sound, all instrumental. Definitely would like to see them live. Try Death Rides a Horse http://www.myspace.com/russiancircles'> http://www.myspace.com/russiancircles

Did a mellow 4 mile ride. About 1 down on some sweet single-trail and 3 up on old logging road, elevation change of only about 480 feet. We have had some bad weather from a killing freeze on Easter to exceptional drought all summer and the bears are everywhere trying to find food.

When I left Colorado I was worried about getting kind local microbrews. Turns out I had nothing to worry about.............. CITIZEN-TIMES.com Asheville hopping with beer-loving tourists By Tony Kiss TKISS@CITIZEN-TIMES.COM September 1, 2007 12:15 am It's 315 miles from Huntsville, Ala., to Asheville, but it's a trip Jim Trolinger makes with one main mission - to buy and enjoy local beer. "If there's a beer capital in the South, it's got to be Asheville," he said. "There's nowhere else in the South like it. It's the best (beer town) that I can drive to in less than a day." With five craft brewing companies in Buncombe County, and a sixth under construction, Asheville is increasingly becoming a destination for beer-loving tourists like Trolinger, a trend that's being noticed by the Asheville Visitor and Convention Bureau. While some come just for the beer, others travel to the area for traditional vacations, then spend time - and money - prowling the breweries. Beer tourism has also helped the local breweries as they've expanded sales into surrounding states. Asheville's annual Brewgrass craft beer festival has drawn visitors from around the world. And the booming beer scene has even led to a tour service that takes visitors around to the local breweries, offering them backstage tours and samples. Deuane Hoffman and his wife, Carolyn Blatchley, have already made one haul to Asheville from Harrisburg, Pa., to sample and buy beer, and they're returning in September for the Brewgrass festival. "No other small city in America has as many micros and beer bars as Asheville," said Hoffman, who frequently travels the country in search of local brews. What makes Asheville special "Asheville is a little unique in that it's a getaway town, and there's an active beer scene," said Bob Townsend, editor of Southern Brew News, which reports on the regional beer scene. "There's a good vibe there, and a lot of good breweries. I don't think Atlanta is sought out nearly as much (by beer tourists)." The city's reputation as a beer destination "extends beyond the state," said Julie Bradford, editor of the nationally circulated All About Beer magazine. "You have a great collection of breweries." She's not surprised that craft beer fans will seek it out while on vacation. "It's important (for beer-loving tourists) to find unusual beers at any destination," she said. In the world of craft brewing, Portland, Ore., leads the pack with more than 28 breweries. San Diego is also a leading beer town, with at least 17 working breweries, but tourism officials there haven't noticed a travel impact, said Joe Timko with the San Diego Convention and Visitor Bureau. "We have major attractions, we have beaches and a number of things we publicize for tourists, but craft beer isn't up there with our promotional pushes," he said. But in Asheville, the lure of craft beer is beginning to attract attention, said Marla Tambellini of the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau. "I don't know if it's the prime motivation for people coming here, but it has become more of an attraction or activity that people are engaging in while they are here," she said. "We've showcased the brewing scene to writers and bloggers while they've been here. It's something noteworthy (for the city)." How it started Asheville's beer scene began in 1994, first with the opening of Barley's Taproom on Biltmore Avenue, followed almost immediately by Highland Brewing, originally located in the lower level of the same building. In 1997, the Blue Rooster brewpub restaurant opened on Biltmore Avenue, and while it closed the next year, other breweries have thrived. Jack of the Wood and its Green Man Brewing Co., Two Moons Brew-N-View (now Asheville Pizza and Brewing), French Broad Brewing and Pisgah Brewing have combined to make Asheville the liveliest brewing town in either North or South Carolina. A sixth brewery is under construction in Asheville's French Broad River arts district. Another major element to Asheville's beer tourism is the Brewgrass Festival, an annual celebration of craft beer, happening Sept. 22 at Martin Luther King Jr. Park. "A full third of our guests come in excess of an hour from Asheville," said Brewgrass founder and director Doug Beatty. "We have an unbelievable number from the Tri-Cities area, a lot from Charlotte and Atlanta, and we've had them from Germany and Scotland." Touring the breweries Since Highland Brewing began making craft ales in 1994, visitors have been stopping by to watch, said founder and primary owner Oscar Wong. While Highland is not generally open to the public and does not have a pub or tasting room, it welcomes guests who call ahead, Wong said. "We've had people from the Northeast, the West Coast and all around the South, usually because Asheville is a destination to begin with, and as a brewing city, the reputation is growing." He believes beer tourism has helped Highland grow its business in Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. From three original employees, Highland now has a staff of 16. At Asheville Pizza and Brewing, co-owner Mike Rangel often sees out-of-town visitors stop by for a cold beer and a slice. "We have people walking in from Ohio or Florida, who've looked us up online," he said. All aboard Last year, sensing an opportunity, Mark Lyons began Asheville Brews Cruise, a bus service that takes beer lovers on a bus tour of local breweries. Some tourists "don't want to find these places on their own," he said. "We thought we would make (a tour) educational and fun." He expected the business might lag last winter, but "people don't stop drinking when it's cold, and you don't have (outdoor activities that compete for tourist's time)," he said. The business now operates up to five nights a week, and Lyons sees a 50-50 mix of curious locals and out-of-town visitors. "We've had people from all over the country and Canada who are looking for that beer tourism thing, and they are finding it," he said. With business strong, Lyons recently quit a day job at the Grove Park Inn to focus on Brews Cruise, and to try the same concept with Asheville's independent restaurants. "It's definitely a leap of faith," he said.

A great writer who wrote about a great subject. RIP. Famed 'beer hunter' dies LONDON, England (AP) -- Michael Jackson, a leading world beer critic who praised the brews of Belgium and acknowledged he would never be as famous as "that Michael Jackson," has died. He was 65. Jackson, known as "the beer hunter," died Thursday of a heart attack at his home in west London. His body was found by his house cleaner, Paddy Gunningham, his long-term partner, said Friday. She said he had kept writing and traveling, despite suffering from Parkinson's disease, and that he planned to write a book about the ailment. "He was simply the best beer writer we've ever known," said Tim Hampson, chairman of the British Guild of Beer Writers. "He told wonderful stories about beer, breweries and far away places. He told the story of beer through people, and he was humorous and erudite at the same time," Hampson told The Associated Press. Jackson especially loved Belgian brews. His books "The Great Beers of Belgium" and "World Guide to Beer" introduced them to many export markets, including the United States. By identifying beers by their flavors and styles, and by pairing them with particular foods and dishes, Jackson helped give birth to a renaissance of interest in beer and breweries worldwide that began in the 1970s, including the North American microbrewery movement. His TV documentary series, "The Beer Hunter" -- which popularized his nickname -- was filmed around the world and shown in 15 countries. He worked as a beer critic for more than 30 years, writing in newspapers and gastronomic magazines, holding seminars and giving speeches, appearing on U.S. talk shows and writing books about beer and whiskeys published in 18 languages. Jackson knew he would never be as famous as Michael Jackson the rock star, and that was reflected on the beer critic's Web site. "Hello, my name is Michael Jackson. No, not that Michael Jackson, but I am on a world tour. My tour is in pursuit of exceptional beer. That's why they call me the Beer Hunter," it says.

I keep an open mind when drinking! Fruit beers are not for night long swilling but rather to be enjoyed one at a time as a palate cleanser or desert. try this one: http://www.atlanticbrewing.com/jpg/blueale.jpg Another super taster from New Belgium- Frambrozen, look for this at X-mas time.

I thought you were a member there?? or was that TDRS?? Hey Tangy is there a tracklisting for The Blueprints album? Or is that just on the regular version, or is it not on there either?? Not that I am aware. I don't think either version has a tracklisting. The downloaded version had 24 songs all with names, but i think i read that they were not official names given by Buckethead?? Not really sure. I think some of the material on blueprints was recorded later or morphed into other recorded material?

I can't say this is something I'm going to drink with any regularity. Next time, if I do this again, there will have to be less of the lambic. The raspberry was much too strong. So maybe 3:1 or 4:1 next time. It was interesting, anyway, and it had to be tried out. Yep, too much lambic. Anywhere between 2:1 and 3:1 is good. I just can't handle Lambics or any other open fermented products. They all seem to have an off taste to me. I do know some folks who just love them though. For a fruit or any other flavor beer to work, the beer must be top notch, the flavorings of the highest quality and not overdone in terms of strenght. Flavors that work for me include apricot and blueberry. The Doghead Fish made out of green raisins was also excellent. Perhaps the strangest beer I've had was a Smoked Porter from somewhere in Alaska, it was excellent.

QUOTE (launchpad67a @ Aug 27 2007, 01:03 PM) I am all for recycling, and we do it every week. But I have never understood why glass bottles in some states have the refund. Recycling plants Do Not recycle glass, of any kind. Glass is made from sand, the most abundant natural manufacturing material on the planet! I'm just sayin'.... You have to put down an additional deposit on top of the price of the product, which is refunded when you return the empties. It provides a small incentive not to litter and a small incentive to clean up after those who do litter.

Down here we recycle only to watch the dudes throw them in the trash!

We have a strange country......................... Deadly reminder Rams linebacker Little coping with fatal past Click here for more on this story Posted: Friday January 28, 2000 11:06 AM Leonard Little Leonard Little says his sentence, 90-days in a work house and 1000 hours of community service, has been difficult to handle. CNNSI.com By Josie Karp, CNNSI.com ATLANTA (CNNSI.com) -- Prior to the first-half kickoff, No. 57 gets lost surrounded by his teammates. He's just another bobbing head getting ready to explode with pregame anticipation. For a moment, he's Leonard Little, football player and not Leonard Little, drunken driver. "Some people meet me sometimes and they sit down and talk to me for a while and ask me my name and say, 'Oh, you're the guy,'" Little says. Little's the one who celebrated his 24th birthday at a St. Louis bar in October of 1998. He's the one who got behind the wheel of his Lincoln Navigator legally drunk. He's the one who ran a red light at a downtown intersection. He's the one who plowed into a much smaller car. He's the one who ended the life of Susan Gutweiler. "I think about it all the time," Little said. "I mean every day I wake up in the morning I think about it. It's always in the back of my mind no matter if you're at the Super Bowl or anything bigger than that. It's always there and I always think about it." Because he's alive to do that, Little is the lucky one. In a St. Louis cemetery, Susan Gutweiler rests beside a daughter who was killed in a car accident 20 years ago. Gutweiler, who was 47 at the time of the accident, left behind a husband and a teenage son. Their pain, Little can only imagine. "It's hard to put yourself in that situation." he said. "It's hard and I try to put myself in the situation whereas if something happened to my mom like that and it would be a hard situation to cope with." Ninety nights of shock time, to be spent in this St. Louis work house, comprise part of the sentence Little received after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter last June. He's completed about a third of that to date and part of 1,000 hours of community service a judge also ordered him to perform. If he finishes both, after four years of probation, his record will be cleared, leaving no legal trace of so many shattered lives. "It's hard because I've never been in trouble," Little says. "Not a problem kid or anything like that so when you're in the legal system like that, it's always hard on a person for the first time to go through some things like that." Little's back playing football after the NFL suspended him for eight games as punishment for his actions. Bill Gutweiler, Susan's husband, is also back on the sidelines. As an assistant to a Sports Illustrated photographer, he was at the TWA Dome for the NFC Championship game. Little never encountered him there and would not have known what to say if he had. "That's a hard question. I just, that's a really hard question," he says pausing as he speaks. I mean, hopefully him and me can sit down and get some things resolved." With Little getting ready for the Super Bowl far away from a tragedy that's marked in stone back in St. Louis, that may be too much to ask. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/thenetwor...profile_little/
