Rey’s Running

By From http://fred2blue.com • Feb 6th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s now official: Chris Rey is running for Phil Hamilton’s seat in the House of Delegates.
Hamilton, whose 93rd district includes parts of James City and Newport News, is Vice-Chair of the Appropriations Committee and hasn’t faced an opponent since 1995?! So why is Rey running? It may have something to do with the fact that Obama […]



LOCAL FAIL

In NC, basketball is the semi-official state religion, and way too many parents hope think know that their kid is the next MJ.  I’d bet that this woman is one of them:
RALEIGH, N.C. — The mother of a middle school basketball player has been charged with assault after smacking the coach who took her […]

My Favorite Beer

By From http://kybecca.blogspot.com/ • Feb 6th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local


As many of you know wine is my area of expertise. For the most part I leave the beer to Matt and Kyle who do a great job of sifting through what’s out there and bringing in only the best. I enjoy beer, and understand the legions who are devoted to craft beer, but I like having a beverage I don’t have to think about too much. Wine is my thing.

However I have found a beer I really love (other than the Eggenberg Pilsner, which is my everyday beer), the Belgian brewed Biere De Miel which translates to beer of honey. It is made by Dupont who many of you will recognize as an excellent producer of Saison. The title is a little misleading because I think people may assume the beer is sweet, far from it. It is brewed with organic Belgian honey, but fermented until dry. The result is medium-bodied amber with floral and honey aromas. The hops are present, but not off-putting. I love it, it has turned into my go-to beer for pairing with a nice dinner, mostly medium weight fare like chicken on grilled salmon.



The media can be so childish.

Happy Wear Red Day!

I am proud to be an alumna of Alpha Phi Fraternity which has promoted awareness for Cardiac Care and Research since 1946.  Being a part of an organization that has raised more than $1 million toward this cause has been a lifestyle changing experience for me.  Heart Disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States.  One in four women […]



More on that un-freakin’-believable $694,701,315 request from Caroline County: It just goes to show that this country has absolutely no priorities.

Can someone explain to me why it cost $30,000,000 to upgrade the county’s current wastewater treatment plant — which can process 0.5 million gallons of wastewater per day — to a facility that can process 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) (Potential Economic Stimulus Package Projects, p. 1), but only cost $11,000,000 to upgrade the […]
