New Virginia Brewery Planting Hops

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jul 16th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Another upcoming addition to the roster of Virginia breweries is “digging in” in a big way.

The latest entrant into Richmond’s growing craft beer scene hopes its name is one people will remember. 

Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery, a fledgling f…



Local chase of a severe TS

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Jul 16th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Sometimes fortune smiles on the storm chaser, as in today’s very local chase of a severe-warned thunderstorm that pushed out a 52 mph wind gust at the Roanoke airport.  Since I was watching this storm literally across the street from the same airp…



Is it time to kill commissions?

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jul 16th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Daniel Pink is looking at the issue of commission based pay for salespeople. I looked at this issue back in 2004. Millions of people read Daniel Pink. Dozens read me. Further proof that the universe is not fair I don’t think anything has really changed with regards to anything I wrote back in 2004. I […]



Not Knowing the Judge Can Cost – BIG TIME

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jul 16th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Last Friday we had a substitute judge in Stafford General District Court. It wasn’t a judge I was familiar with. I quickly began inquiring to find out his name and anything I could about him. As I sat through the traffic docket, I learned that he was quite reasonable and fair. He gave many people […]



The Ides of July(?) chase

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Jul 15th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As a result of the weak warm front lifting north of the area yesterday we were left with lots of moisture and instability but very little shear or capping.  Thus popup storms were the norm again today, with some showers forming and then raining th…



Skateland

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Jul 15th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I watched Skateland this afternoon. The reviews on it are pretty horrible, but I thought it was ok. Recent high school grads drinking and smoking while they avoid growing up for one more summer is not the most original plot for a movie, but the 1983 east Texas setting built around the lake, a skating […]

Before attending the Evening Parade at Marine Barracks, Washington Friday evening, we had an enjoyable dinner at Molly Malone’s across the street from the Barracks. Colleen ordered one of her favorite beers, Allagash White, served i…



Video of Yourself Going 185 mph = Reckless Driving Charge

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jul 13th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

People never cease to amaze me. A guy in Canada thought it would be cool to record the below video while flying along on his motorcycle. Not only is he weaving between cars (down the lane divider), but he also hits 185 mph! I’ve written before about posting things on the internet. It can definitely […]



You Don’t Have to Own the Marijuana

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Jul 12th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you are charged with Virginia possession of marijuana, the Commonwealth doesn’t have to prove that you owned the marijuana. They just have to prove that you possessed it. Video Transcription Hello, my name is Andrew Flusche. I’m a Virginia defense attorney. In possession of marijuana cases, a common thing I hear is “The marijuana […]



Weekly Range Trip Report

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jul 12th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

We’re quite fortunate to be able to get in regular trips to the range. (Which reminds me, I need to order more ammo.) Some visits are longer than others, but any time to get in some shooting is good. This week we managed to squeeze in a quick late afte…
