Tom Petty documentary

A four hour documentary movie called Runnin' Down A Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be released in October .

The film, by Peter Bogdanovich, features interviews with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and the circle of musicians, friends, and collaborators who came into the band's orbit over the years.

I looked on imdb.com and the movie is titled slightly different there: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down a Dream (notice the runnin' vs running). But Best Buy's picture of the box clearly shows it written as in the first paragraph above.

There's a lot of stars in the film, apparently taking parts in interviews: Kevin Costner, Brittany Murphy, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Stevie Nicks, Roy Orbison, Rick Rubin, Jeff Lynne, and more.

Here's the trailer:


On October 16, a 4-disc box set of the film will be released for sale only at Best Buy, which includes the the 2-DVD, 4 hour Bogdanovich film. It also includes a DVD of the 2006 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 30th Anniversary Concert in Gainesville, FL and a soundtrack CD of rarities and previously unreleased tracks from the film.

Which state makes the most beer?

Colorado moved past California to become the largest beer-producing state in 2006.

A new report by the Beer Institute said Colorado produced 23.37 million barrels of beer, compared with 22.83 million barrels produced in California, and 19.41 million barrels in Texas.

Colorado is home to the Brewers Association, Molson Coors Brewing Co. and the Great American Beer Festival.

There are also some good microbreweries in Colorado, such as Avery Brewing Company, Flying Dog Brewery, and Great Divide Brewing Company.

The report didn't indicate where Wisconsin ranked.

Prince hits his 50th home run - youngest player ever

Prince Fielder became the youngest major league player ever to hit 50 home runs in a season, connecting twice in the Milwaukee Brewers' 9-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

The win pulled the Brewers to within two games of the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs, who lost at Florida 4-2 Tuesday night. With five games remaining for each team, the Cubs' magic number remained stuck at four.

Fielder joined his father Cecil as the only father-son tandem to hit 50 home runs in a season. The elder Fielder hit 51 with the Detroit Tigers in 1990.

I purchased my potential playoff tickets today - 4 tickets for the Division Series Home Game 1, if needed, of course.

The Brewers still face an uphill climb to unseat the Cubs in the final week of the season, but at least they're making it interesting.

Liquid irony: beer no longer allowed at Coors Events Center

Beer sales to the general public will no longer be offered at the Coors Events Center for University of Colorado basketball games, bringing Colorado's policy for beer sales at basketball games in line with the rest of the Big 12 Conference schools.

The beer ban is expected to cost the CU athletic department as much as $80,000 a year in lost revenue.

This also has to be painful for Coors, not being able to sell their water-down, hops-less, beer-like beverage at their own Events Center. Somehow Coors Light took 4th place in the dubious Consumer Reports light beer taste test.

A representative for Coors Brewing Co. said Tuesday the company "respects" CU's decision to stop selling its products and other beer at the events center, which earned its name in 1990 following a $5 million gift from the Adolph Coors Foundation.

CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard said the decision to stop beer sales at the center will not affect a nearly $1.3 million sponsorship agreement between Coors and CU.

The agreement grants Coors the right to claim "exclusive malt beverage sponsorship of CU" through 2011, although it does not make Coors the sole provider of beer at CU events.

Beer will still be available for private groups. Mmmm, sweet private group beer. Too bad it's Coors.

Miller's Chinese Snow Beer

This is probably the most popular beer you never drank.

Snow - the Chinese beer brand partly owned by SABMiller is set to become the number-two beer brand in the world this year.

The beer is actually called Xue Hua, with literally means 'snow flower.'

Snow is the main national brand of CR Snow Breweries, (which SABMiller owns 49% of with China Resources Group Ltd.), which became the number-four brand in the world in 2006.

If it maintains its current rate of growth, it should easily overtake InBev's Skol to become the second largest brand in the world by volume behind Budweiser. It would also overtake Corona - owned by Grupo Modelo - which itself is 50%-owned by Anheuser-Busch.

Thanks to SABMiller's share of the Chinese joint venture, there is also a chance SABMiller could surpass InBev as the world's largest brewer.

Snow is China's leading beer brand and accounts for nearly 50% of the joint ventures' total sale volumes.

China accounts for about 18% of SABMiller's total sales by volume but it contributes little to group profit. Beer has traditionally been sold at a low price in China, with retailers and wholesalers absorbing much of the profit margin, leaving very little for breweries.

Tom Hanks, JFK, and Band of Brothers

I read on Yahoo! that Tom Hanks is producing a new 10-part miniseries for HBO on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

It's based on Vincent Bugliosi's Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy which disclaims many conspiracy theories and contends that Lee Harvey Oswald
was the sole party behind the 1963 Kennedy assassination.

I don't buy it, and apparently 75% of the American public agrees with me. And you should, unless you somehow fell asleep during the 206 minute movie JFK. Impossible! Supposedly this miniseries will reverse that trend and we'll all believe the Warren Report.

Tom Hanks' production company is called Playtone and they've worked with HBO before on the miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, Band of Brothers, and the upcoming John Adams and The Pacific.

Band of Brothers is one of the best movies I have ever seen, especially about war, and The Pacific is its successor.

Whereas Band of Brothers focused on US involvement in the European Theater of Operations, the new series will be about the Pacific Theater of Operations.

The Pacific will not be associated with any of the characters from Band of Brothers and is to be based primarily on two memoirs by US Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.

The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against Japan rages.

Production of the series started in August 2007, in Australia. I'm really looking forward to The Pacific, but it won't be finished until sometime in 2009.

Prince Fielder becomes a 100-100 player

The Brewers Blog on JSonline reported that Prince Fielder scored his 100th run of the season tonight, becoming only the fifth player in Milwaukee Brewers franchise history to collect 100 runs and 100 RBI's in the same season.

The other Brewers to accomplish that feat were Robin Yount (1982 and 1989), Cecil Cooper (1982, 1983), John Jaha (1996), and Jeromy Burnitz (2001).

The Brewers won tonight but the Cubs also won by scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th. Give me a break.

I signed up for the Brewers play-off ticket lottery, just in case. Unfortunately, 102,000 other people also signed up for the right to purchase single-game tickets to a playoff game, if there is one.

Oregon makes good beer

I had some great beer from Oregon this weekend at the Great Lakes Brew Fest in Racine from Rogue Ales. All the beer Rouge brews is really good.

The northwest has tons of quality microbreweries and brew pubs, and it's all about hops that are grown in that region.

Here's a good article from the Oregon Daily Emerald, the independent student newspaper at the University of Oregon:

Good beer: what Oregon does best
Oregon's thriving culture of microbrewing makes it stand apart from anywhere else in the country.

Microsoft Word 2003 Cursor Problem

I was able to solve a problem today that was bothering me for a couple weeks with Microsoft Word 2003 and I couldn’t find the solution elsewhere on the web.

I figured that I had better write it down somewhere because I'm sure it will happen to my again and my mind will be blank. It's actually a pretty obvious fix but I did see a few other people post the same question on several online forums.

When I opened a new document in Word my cursor appeared at the very top of the page. I was used to seeing an inch of white space on the top represents the top margin or header area, but for some reason that white space was gone.

The strange thing is that the document would still print properly, with the white space header, as it’s supposed to look. The Print Preview option also displayed the document correctly.

So here’s the fix and it’s an easy one. Simply move the mouse cursor to the top of the page in Word, just below the ruler. The cursor will change to a double-arrow box and a little yellow box will appear that says Show White Space. Just click to display the normal 1-inch white header area that you’re accustom to seeing. Duh! Click again to hide it, if that’s the backwards-crazy way you like to use Microsoft Word.


Let me know if this works for you.

Give me a break

Master Lock goes pink for cancer cure

Milwaukee-based Master Lock, the world's largest padlock maker, today introduced a new pink lock emblazoned with a ribbon - the universal symbol of breast health awareness.

"The pink padlock is a great way to raise awareness of breast cancer detection and prevention," stated John Heppner, president and CEO of Master Lock's parent firm, Fortune Brands Storage and Security of Deerfield, Ill. The 40-millimeter keyed padlocks will be sold in a twin pack for a suggested $8.99, he said.

Accompanying the product launch is Master Lock's $10,000 research donation to work toward a cure for breast cancer, which claims a new victim every three minutes in the United States, Heppner said.

Master Lock is a unit of Fortune Brands Inc. (FO) of Deerfield, Ill.

A pint is still a pint in the UK

The the European Union had intended to force the UK and Ireland to stop using miles on road signs, troy ounces for gold and other precious metals, and pints for milk, cider, and beer by 2010.

But Britain's citizens are now free to buy their ale by the pint and their potatoes by the pound without threat of interference from the EU.

The Brussels-based European Union announced this week that Britain can keep using its centuries-old system of imperial measures.

For the past 12 years, goods sold in the European Union have had to display weights and measures in metric terms. To appease a furious public, imperial units dating back to the Middle Ages were allowed to be posted alongside the metric in Britain, such as yards, furlongs, leagues, cables, links, poles, chains, drachms, stones, and hundredweights.

Some shopkeepers violated EU regulations by continuing to sell things only in imperial measurements and they were fined.

The lone metric measure that the British appear to have accepted is the liter as a measure of gasoline, or "petrol," for motor vehicles. One explanation is that having to pay 95 pence per liter at the pump sounds better than 3.90 pounds — or $7.80 — per gallon.

British retailers still will be required under EU law to advertise items in metric measures, but no longer will they risk a hefty fine or the threat of jail for also openly measuring everything in imperial terms.

New Chicago Brewery - Half Acre Beer Company

Gabriel Magliaro is the owner of Half Acre Beer Company, which has been available in Chicago for about a month.

It looks like they only have one beer so far that's contract brewed at Sand Creek Brewing Company in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. About 30 percent of Sand Creek's business is from contract brewing.

Half Acre Lager, the first release by Half Acre Beer Company is brewed using only water, hops, barley and yeast, making sure to respect the integrity of the brewing process and the purity of its ingredients. We chose to balance a rich malt base with a livlier hop content, encouraging a natural, vibrant taste and smell while maintaining the beer’s full body and cloudy, amber appearance. Half Acre Lager is suitable to pair with a range of cuisines and experiences during the season of your choice.

Beer delivery, the new modern convenience

Virginia recently passed a state law that allows businesses to deliver beer to residences. Once again, Wisconsin, the Beer State, falls behind other places when it comes to all things beer.

I can see several advantages to this law - most notably keeping drunk people seeking more beer off the road.

The Virginia law allows retailers, breweries and wineries to deliver up to four cases of beer or wine per delivery to consumers, but the store has to report the amount of purchases to the state once a month.

Four cases seems like a pretty reasonable about. I mean, 96 beers is generally enough for me for one sitting. But here's the kicker, more than four cases of wine or beer or a keg CAN be delivered if the state is notified in advance.

It would be great if my kegs were delivered instead of making Heather pick them up from Discount Liquor, although don't get me wrong, I love Discount Liquor and everything the stand for. Still, sweet advanced notice!

Come on, Wisconsin - GET WITH THE TIMES! When Virginia is more progressive than your state, you know it's time to change! Virginia still has a law prohibiting "corrupt practices of bribery by any person other than candidates."

My brother went skeet shooting with Dick Cheney

Second year in a row! And this time a girl went too.

Milwaukee has dirty taps: Bad beer in Brew City

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a good article in today's paper and online about unclean beer tap lines in bars and restaurants in Milwaukee. Please Milwaukee bars and restaurants - clean your beer lines! Especially you, Judges Irish Pub!

I clean my Haier Kegorator beer lines between each keg. That's probably too long because things can get smelly and sticky, especially when you're drinking good, unpasteurized beer. And if we don't have a lot of visitors at the time it can take us a month to finish a keg.

Illinois apparently has a law that says bars have to clean their beer lines once per week. I support that.

Wisconsin doesn't have that law. Instead, the health codes state that the lines be cleaned "at a frequency specified by the manufacturer" or "a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil or mold." Yuck.

The Beer State should definitely have higher standards than the Fib state, come on!

Russ Klisch, president of Milwaukee-based awesome Lakefront Brewery, said he has been talking with other brewers about initiating a tap cleaning certification program to ensure the work is being done properly.

I'm for it. Let's get it done ASAP.

The article said that Hooligans Super Bar had clean tap lines. That makes me happy. I bet Roman's Pub does too because Roman really cares about good beer. (I would recommend Roman's to anybody, by the way).

I hope the new Sugar Maple bar opening soon in Bay View (that will have 50 beers on tap) will clean their lines regularly, because I plan to go there often.

Milwaukee Marsupial Bridge wins design award

My favorite bridge beneath another bridge is the Milwaukee Marsupial Bridge that's suspended from the underbelly of the Holton Street Viaduct.


It links the Brady Street neighborhood with the Beer Line B neighborhood north of downtown Milwaukee and the condo district along Commerce Street.


I used to live about 2 blocks from the south end of the bridge on Cass Street, near Water Street and across from Trocadero. The other end passes right by Lakefront Brewery on Commerce Street.


It's a wide bridge that's easy to bike across and seems lightly used, but it's a neat way to see the Milwaukee River and get access to Water Street. The bridge is made out of steel with wooden planks that make a clickity-clack noise when you ride your bike over it.


JSOnline is reporting that the bridge won a design award:

'Marsupial' bridge wins design award

Milwaukee's "marsupial" bridge beneath the Holton St. viaduct, along with an adjacent bus shelter and plaza, has won a national design award.

The $10,000 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence is one of six presented nationwide from the Bruner Foundation, based in Pittsford, N.Y., to recognize "outstanding examples of urban placemaking."

The foundation cited the Crossroads Project, designed by La Dallman Architects and engineered by Bloom Consultants, for "providing a new model for the use of leftover space," raising the quality of infrastructure design and improving pedestrian connections along the Milwaukee River.

The pedestrian bridge is tucked beneath the viaduct, linking the Brady St. neighborhood with the booming condo district along Commerce St. An artful bus shelter at the corner of Brady and Van Buren streets and an urban plaza with benches are part of the project. The award will be presented Tuesday on the plaza, just off Water St. Cecilia Gilbert, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Works, said the $10,000 would probably be used to complete a connection from the bridge to Commerce St.

Half-million bees invade home

Weather.com has a video of a guy that has to try to clear 500,000 bees from the side of someone's home. Even though he's wearing that suit, he keeps getting stung. It's not a job I would enjoy.

Bob Dylan action this fall

There are a lot of Bob Dylan projects coming this fall. This is mostly compiled from USAToday:

On the road: A 25-date U.S. fall tour of mostly colleges and universities starts September 16. Elvis Costello will open most shows. There aren't any Wisconsin dates listed yet. Elvis Costello does a fantastic live show. I saw him at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee two years ago.

On CD: On October 2, a three disc CD set named Dylan will be released, a retrospective spanning four decades of studio recordings, many selected as a result of fan lobbying at Dylan's label website. Two other versions also will be available: a single-disc 18-track sampler and a deluxe cloth-bound limited edition with an extended booklet, rare photos, vintage packaging and 10 postcards.

More on CD: Producer Mark Ronson's dance retooling of Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) will be released Oct. 1 only in the U.K. as a bonus disc with the 18-track Dylan. It's also available at iTunes in the U.K. It marks the first time Dylan has permitted a remix. The song and video can be seen at dylan07.com.

In museums: The Drawn Blank Series, the first museum exhibit of Dylan's visual artwork, starts its three-month run Oct. 28 at Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz in Chemnitz, Germany. More than 200 photo-lithographs, reworked in watercolor and gouache, are collected from his 1994 book of drawings, Drawn Blank.

On the air: Launching with the topic "Hello," Dylan hosts the second season of XM Radio's Theme Time Radio Hour on September 19. Future shows themes are "Young & Old," "California," "Dreams," "Fruit," "Something," "Nothing," "Streets," "Parties" and "Mail," with guests to include Luke Wilson, Amy Sedaris, Jack White and John Cusack. The satellite radio program draws nearly 2 million listeners weekly. These shows are generally available for download from torrent sites and newsgroups. I've heard a few from the first season and they are very good.

On screen: I'm Not There, Todd Haynes' biopic interpreting Dylan's life through such actors as Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Richard Gere, opens November 21.

A two-disc, 34-song soundtrack is out October 30 with new covers by various artists. It also features Dylan's previously unreleased 1967 outtake of I'm Not There.

Gettelman $1000

From JS Online today.

The Museum of Beer & Brewing in Milwaukee has organized a tapping tonight of the the first Gettelman $1000 Beer brewed since 1971 - a single keg produced according to a recipe squirreled away for years in family files.

The beer was called Gettelman $1000 because they offered $1000 to anyone who could prove Gettelman $1000 Beer contained any substitute for pure malt and hops. No one claimed the money for the 80 years the beer was produced.

The tapping takes place at 7pm tonight at the Miller Inn at 3931 W State Street in Milwaukee. It's open to the public and costs $15. Nancy Gettelman will speak about her book and Fred Gettelman, a great-grandson of the family's brewing patriarch, will show company memorabilia.

The A. Gettelman Brewing Company was sold to Miller in 1961 and Miller still makes a Gettelman brand, Milwaukee's Best.

I'm Not There movie trailer

I'm Not There is a film on the ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where seven characters embody a different aspect of the musician's life and work. I like the giraffe.

Michelob Gloats

Last month I said I thought it was ridiculous that Michelob won the top three light beer spots in a Consumer Reports taste test - see Consumer Reports rates light beers (and hot dogs) entry.

Now I see Michelob is gloating with new internet ads. Best in the world? This is crazy. Their beer is BAD. Look what have you done, Consumer Reports!

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and Bob Dylan

I recently watched the DVD of "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer."

Users on The Internet Movie Database give it a 7.6 out of 10 rating and I agree that it's a great film. I thought this was truly a story that I hadn't heard before, and movies like that don't come along very often.

The movie was based on the novel Perfume by Patrick Süskind. The book was the source of inspiration for the Nirvana song "Scentless Apprentice." Kurt Cobain claimed to carry the book in his pocket and said he identified with the lead character's alienation.

Here is the movie's plot outline from imdb: Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born in the stench of eighteenth century Paris, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.

The film has received mixed reviews by critics. Reuters described the movie as "visually lush, fast-moving story," stating as well that the director "has a sure sense of spectacle, and despite its faults the movie maintains its queasy grip."

Rottentomatoes.com gave it a 56% freshness rating and wrote, "A visual feast with an antihero that's impossible to feel sympathy for." I disagree with this statement - I found it easy to feel compassion for Grenouille despite his actions.

More from Wikipedia: The movie was an incredible success in Europe making over $100 million worldwide. It was deemed unmarketable for American audience and released in very limited number of theaters in North America where it took a modest $2,208,939.

There was a lot of violence and nudity in the film, although I read that the novel was much more graphic. It's rated R for aberrant behavior involving nudity, violence, sexuality, and disturbing images. Rent it today!

Actors appearing in this film include Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman (from the Harry Potter movies and many others).

The movie's lead actor is Ben Whishaw, who's appeared in nothing I've seen before. He'll be in the upcoming movie about Bob Dylan called I'm Not There, which I'm really looking forward to.

In that movie six performers play Dylan, including Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Richard Gere. "I'm Not There" is the first dramatic portrayal of his life Dylan had ever approved.
