They need to have a damn snow plow work with the ambulances, that is just insane.

That is the tow plane vs cirrus accident in CO, nothing to do with the one in Palo Alto....

Mortal Combat anybody?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3LK1CChb08&feature=player_embedded

Haha, yeah that is ironic alright.

So what I have heard is this: A Cessna 310 took off from Palo Alto airport, in fog. They struck a power line support, taking out 3 high tension wires (this is why lots of the city is without power, including Stanford and Stanford hospital) the airplane then broke up (lost a wing I believe) and crashed into the back of a house, which had 3 people in it, although they all got out safely through the front of the house. It appears that some or all of the 3 people killed were employees of Tesla Motors, which is sad news. My dad is friends with a guy who works there, and I have toured their factory before, they are a good outfit. Sad day

Damn sweet, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. Might have to give that one a shot after the Common (wasn't able to brew today unfortunately)

I'll give it a shot!

I second the notion of a belgian trippel, they are great. I made a batch awhile back and it turned out well. Belgian beers are cool, because they have unique tasting yeasts, and some are very big but use low hops and so that is good for beer drinkers who don't like too much hops. If you didn't want to go too big like a trippel you could always do a farmhouse ale like saison (sp?) which is very good on a warm day. Wit beers are great, they have become very popular recently, and out of my homebrews this style seems to be the most popular so far. Hogarden (sp?) is probably my favorite. A pale ale is always great, as far as ales go. A chance to enjoy some great hop flavor without too much bitterness, like an IPA. (although i totally love IPAs also). Have you tried that Italian beer that is mixed with lemonade? A friend made me buy it because he said it was good, and I have to agree, it was quite tasty. You could use something like this to fill in your fruit beer requirement. (what about orange mixed with a wit beer?) Have you considered ciders? I enjoy brewing them allot, and they taste great. I am working on one now that uses lager yeast, and I have had great success with it in the past. As far as I know, nobody makes this style, but it is good, and usually I make mine very strong (10-17 percent) and the lager yeast makes it go down super smooth. California Common (Steam beers) taste good. I am going to be brewing a batch tomorrow, actually. Wish me luck! Hope you figure out some good brews, hopefully someday I may be lucky enough to sample some.

BOR lowered their jib just for the hell of it, and still gaining?

Looks like BOR just took the lead!! Man they are hauling. I think this is the complete outcome of the Cup, in one little sample right here.

They are holding for a sec. Hey i JUST heard they are lowering the AP flag at 14:24.

The online video is up, good to see the boats out there. Not sure how much longer I can stay up, but would love to see the start.

What range of wind speed is best for these boats? It will be lame if they don't get to really haul ass. What is the minimum for flying a hull on both boats?

Excellent.

Man I love the words tea bagging. So what is the deal here? I think the tea party guys being called tea baggers is EPIC!!! Common, it isn't teabaggees, it is tea baggers. You are the one putting your balls in someone else's mouth, not the other way around. So excellent!!

What was the original agreement between MFG1 and sponsored jumper regarding sponsoring of gear and for how long? If they had an agreement for X dollars of equipment per month, and for 1 year for instance, then it just depends on who broke the agreement.

Damn that thing is whack too. As long as it doesn't run very fast it isn't too bad. Something about bugs/animals being bigger gives me the sense that I can actually transmit enough energy into them to kill them, where as spiders will just curl up into little balls and be saved by the gap in tread in your shoes, only to climb up your leg and eat your nuts off when you are sleeping. ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like no racing today. They will try friday, planned start of 10:00. Time for me to go to bed!

Until when? I have seen both 11 and 11:50.... It is going to be a late night for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus is packin, so get the fuck over to confession.

Fuck spiders. Seriously.

Nice!

Next shot is wednesday, correct?

STS130 is airborne as of 1 hour ago, everything looking great. Nice!
