September 30, 1954: USS Nautilus commissioned
September 30, 2016 Uncategorizedsleuthboss
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/uss-nautilus-commissioned
The USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear submarine, is commissioned by the U.S. Navy.
The Nautilus was constructed under the direction of U.S. Navy Captain Hyman G. Rickover, a brilliant Russian-born engineer who joined the U.S. atomic program in 1946. In 1947, he was put in charge of the navy's nuclear-propulsion program and began work on an atomic submarine. Regarded as a fanatic by his detractors, Rickover succeeded in developing and delivering the world's first nuclear submarine years ahead of schedule. In 1952, the Nautilus' keel was laid by President Harry S. Truman, and on January 21, 1954, first lady Mamie Eisenhower broke a bottle of champagne across its bow as it was launched into the Thames River at Groton, Connecticut. Commissioned on September 30, 1954, it first ran under nuclear power on the morning of January 17, 1955.
Much larger than the diesel-electric submarines that preceded it, the Nautilus stretched 319 feet and displaced 3,180 tons. It could remain submerged for almost unlimited periods because its atomic engine needed no air and only a very small quantity of nuclear fuel. The uranium-powered nuclear reactor produced steam that drove propulsion turbines, allowing the Nautilus to travel underwater at speeds in excess of 20 knots.
In its early years of service, the USS Nautilus broke numerous submarine travel records and in August 1958 accomplished the first voyage under the geographic North Pole. After a career spanning 25 years and almost 500,000 miles steamed, the Nautilus was decommissioned on March 3, 1980. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982, the world's first nuclear submarine went on exhibit in 1986 as the Historic Ship Nautilus at the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, Connecticut.
September 29, 2005: Reporter Judith Miller released from prison
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/reporter-judith-miller-released-from-prison
On this day in 2005, New York Times reporter Judith Miller is released from a federal detention center in Alexandria, Virginia, after agreeing to testify in the investigation into the leaking of the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame. Miller had been behind bars since July 6, 2005, for refusing to reveal a confidential source and testify before a grand jury that was looking into the so-called Plame Affair. She decided to testify after the source she had been protecting, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, signed a waiver giving her permission to speak.
The Plame Affair dates back to a July 6, 2003 op-ed piece for the New York Times written by former U.S. diplomat Joseph Wilson, Plame's husband. In it, Wilson questioned the Bush Administration's reasons for going to war in Iraq. Later that month, on July 14, undercover agent Valerie Plame's identity was revealed in a newspaper column by Robert Novak. Wilson's claim that the disclosure was retaliation by the White House for his op-ed piece sparked an investigation in December 2003 led by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. A 1982 law made it illegal to reveal information about a covert agent to anyone not authorized to receive such classified information.
Fitzgerald interviewed President George W. Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top administration officials, along with various journalists. Although Miller hadn't written an article about Plame, she did meet with Libby shortly after Wilson's op-ed piece was published and Fitzgerald believed Miller had information that was relevant to his investigation.
After 85 days in jail, Miller was released and testified before a grand jury that prior to the Novak column, she had several discussions with Scooter Libby in which he talked about Plame. On November 9 of that same year, Miller announced her retirement from the Times after a 28-year career with the newspaper.
On March 6, 2007, Scooter Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements to federal investigators in the Plame investigation. In June, he was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and fined $250,000. However, one month later, on July 2, President George W. Bush commuted Libby's prison term before the ex-White House aide served any time.
September 28, 1941: Ted Williams becomes last player to hit .400
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/ted-williams-becomes-last-player-to-hit-400
On this day in 1941, the Boston Red Sox's Ted Williams plays a double-header against the Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the regular season and gets six hits in eight trips to the plate, to boost his batting average to .406 and become the first player since Bill Terry in 1930 to hit .400. Williams, who spent his entire career with the Sox, played his final game exactly 19 years later, on September 28, 1960, at Boston's Fenway Park and hit a home run in his last time at bat, for a career total of 521 homeruns.
Williams was born on August 30, 1918, in San Diego, and began his major league career with the Red Sox in 1939. 1941 marked Williams' best season. In addition to his .406 batting average–no major league player since him has hit .400–the left fielder led the league with 37 homers, 135 runs and had a slugging average of .735. Also that season, Williams, whose nicknames included "The Splendid Splinter" and "The Thumper," had an on-base percentage of .553, a record that remained unbroken for 61 years, until Barry Bonds achieved a percentage of .582 in 2002.
In 1942, Williams won the American League Triple Crown, for highest batting average and most RBIs and homeruns. He duplicated the feat in 1947. In 1946 and 1949, he was named the American League's Most Valuable Player and in June 1960, he became the fourth player in major league history to hit 500 homers. He was selected to the All-Star team 17 times.
Williams played his last game on September 28, 1960, and retired with a lifetime batting average of .344, a .483 career on-base percentage and 2,654 hits. His achievements are all the more impressive because his career was interrupted twice for military service: Williams was a Marine Corps pilot during World War II and the Korean War and as a result missed a total of nearly five seasons from baseball.
Williams, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, managed the Washington Senators (renamed the Texas Rangers in 1972) from 1969 to 1972. In 1984, the Boston Red Sox retired his uniform number (nine). Williams died of cardiac arrest at age 83 on July 5, 2002, in Florida. In a controversial move, his son sent his father's body to be frozen at a cryonics laboratory.

September 27, 1779: John Adams appointed to negotiate peace terms with British
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/john-adams-appointed-to-negotiate-peace-terms-with-british
On this day in 1779, the Continental Congress appoints John Adams to travel to France as minister plenipotentiary in charge of negotiating treaties of peace and commerce with Great Britain during the Revolutionary War.
Adams had traveled to Paris in 1778 to negotiate an alliance with France, but had been unceremoniously dismissed when Congress chose Benjamin Franklin as sole commissioner. Soon after returning to Massachusetts in mid-1779, Adams was elected as a delegate to the state convention to draw up a new constitution; he was involved in these duties when he learned of his new diplomatic commission. Accompanied by his young sons John Quincy and Charles, Adams sailed for Europe that November aboard the French ship Sensible, which sprang a leak early in the voyage and missed its original destination (Brest), instead landing at El Ferrol, in northwestern Spain. After an arduous journey by mule train across the Pyrenees and into France, Adams and his group reached Paris in early February 1780.
While in Paris, Adams wrote to Congress almost daily (sometimes several letters a day) sharing news about British politics, British and French naval activities and his general perspective on European affairs. Conditions were unfavorable for peace at the time, as the war was going badly for the Continental Army, and the blunt and sometimes confrontational Adams clashed with the French government, especially the powerful Foreign Minister Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes. In mid-June, Adams began a correspondence with Vergennes in which he pushed for French naval assistance, antagonizing both Vergennes and Franklin, who brought the matter to the attention of Congress.
By that time, Adams had departed France for Holland, where he was attempting to negotiate a loan from the Dutch. Before the end of the year, he was named American minister to the Netherlands, replacing Henry Laurens, who was captured at sea by the British. In June 1781, capitulating to pressure from Vergennes and other French diplomats, Congress acted to revoke Adams' sole powers as peacemaker with Britain, appointing Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay and Laurens to negotiate alongside him.
The tide of the war was turning in America's favor, and Adams returned to Paris in October 1782 to take up his part in the peace negotiations. As Jefferson didn't travel to Europe and Laurens was in failing health after his release from the Tower of London, it was left to Adams, Jay and Franklin to represent American interests. Adams and Jay both distrusted the French government (in contrast with Franklin), but their differences of opinion and diplomatic styles allowed the team to negotiate favorable terms in the Peace of Paris (1783). The following year, Jefferson arrived to take Adams' place as American minister to France, forming a lifelong bond with Adams and his family before the latter left to take up his new post as American ambassador to London and continue his distinguished record of foreign service on behalf of the new nation.
September 26, 1960: First Kennedy-Nixon debate
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-kennedy-nixon-debate
For the first time in U.S. history, a debate between major party presidential candidates is shown on television. The presidential hopefuls, John F. Kennedy, a Democratic senator of Massachusetts, and Richard M. Nixon, the vice president of the United States, met in a Chicago studio to discuss U.S. domestic matters.
Kennedy emerged the apparent winner from this first of four televised debates, partly owing to his greater ease before the camera than Nixon, who, unlike Kennedy, seemed nervous and declined to wear makeup. Nixon fared better in the second and third debates, and on October 21 the candidates met to discuss foreign affairs in their fourth and final debate. Less than three weeks later, on November 8, Kennedy won 49.7 percent of the popular vote in one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history, surpassing by a fraction the 49.6 percent received by his Republican opponent.
One year after leaving the vice presidency, Nixon returned to politics, winning the Republican nomination for governor of California. Although he lost the election, Nixon returned to the national stage in 1968 in a successful bid for the presidency. Like Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Nixon declined to debate his opponent in the 1968 presidential campaign. Televised presidential debates returned in 1976, and have been held in every presidential campaign since.
September 25, 1957: Central High School integrated
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/central-high-school-integrated
Under escort from the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. After a tense standoff, President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order.
On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka that racial segregation in educational facilities was unconstitutional. Five days later, the Little Rock School Board issued a statement saying it would comply with the decision when the Supreme Court outlined the method and time frame in which desegregation should be implemented.
Arkansas was at the time among the more progressive Southern states in regard to racial issues. The University of Arkansas School of Law was integrated in 1949, and the Little Rock Public Library in 1951. Even before the Supreme Court ordered integration to proceed "with all deliberate speed," the Little Rock School Board in 1955 unanimously adopted a plan of integration to begin in 1957 at the high school level. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) filed suit, arguing the plan was too gradual, but a federal judge dismissed the suit, saying that the school board was acting in "utmost good faith." Meanwhile, Little Rock's public buses were desegregated. By 1957, seven out of Arkansas' eight state universities were integrated.
In the spring of 1957, there were 517 black students who lived in the Central High School district. Eighty expressed an interest in attending Central in the fall, and they were interviewed by the Little Rock School Board, which narrowed down the number of candidates to 17. Eight of those students later decided to remain at all-black Horace Mann High School, leaving the "Little Rock Nine" to forge their way into Little Rock's premier high school.
In August 1957, the newly formed Mother's League of Central High School won a temporary injunction from the county chancellor to block integration of the school, charging that it "could lead to violence." Federal District Judge Ronald Davies nullified the injunction on August 30. On September 2, Governor Orval Faubus—a staunch segregationist—called out the Arkansas National Guard to surround Central High School and prevent integration, ostensibly to prevent the bloodshed he claimed desegregation would cause. The next day, Judge Davies ordered integrated classes to begin on September 4.
That morning, 100 armed National Guard troops encircled Central High School. A mob of 400 white civilians gathered and turned ugly when the black students began to arrive, shouting racial epithets and threatening the teenagers with violence. The National Guard troops refused to let the black students pass and used their clubs to control the crowd. One of the nine, 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford, was surrounded by the mob, which threatened to lynch her. She was finally led to safety by a sympathetic white woman.
Little Rock Mayor Woodrow Mann condemned Faubus' decision to call out the National Guard, but the governor defended his action, reiterating that he did so to prevent violence. The governor also stated that integration would occur in Little Rock when and if a majority of people chose to support it. Faubus' defiance of Judge Davies' court order was the first major test of Brown v. Board of Education and the biggest challenge of the federal government's authority over the states since the Reconstruction Era.
The standoff continued, and on September 20 Judge Davies ruled that Faubus had used the troops to prevent integration, not to preserve law and order as he claimed. Faubus had no choice but to withdraw the National Guard troops. Authority over the explosive situation was put in the hands of the Little Rock Police Department.
On September 23, as a mob of 1,000 whites milled around outside Central High School, the nine black students managed to gain access to a side door. However, the mob became unruly when it learned the black students were inside, and the police evacuated them out of fear for their safety. That evening, President Eisenhower issued a special proclamation calling for opponents of the federal court order to "cease and desist." On September 24, Little Rock's mayor sent a telegram to the president asking him to send troops to maintain order and complete the integration process. Eisenhower immediately federalized the Arkansas National Guard and approved the deployment of U.S. troops to Little Rock. That evening, from the White House, the president delivered a nationally televised address in which he explained that he had taken the action to defend the rule of law and prevent "mob rule" and "anarchy." On September 25, the Little Rock Nine entered the school under heavily armed guard.
Troops remained at Central High School throughout the school year, but still the black students were subjected to verbal and physical assaults from a faction of white students. Melba Patillo, one of the nine, had acid thrown in her eyes, and Elizabeth Eckford was pushed down a flight of stairs. The three male students in the group were subjected to more conventional beatings. Minnijean Brown was suspended after dumping a bowl of chili over the head of a taunting white student. She was later suspended for the rest of the year after continuing to fight back. The other eight students consistently turned the other cheek. On May 27, 1958, Ernest Green, the only senior in the group, became the first black to graduate from Central High School.
Governor Faubus continued to fight the school board's integration plan, and in September 1958 he ordered Little Rock's three high schools closed rather than permit integration. Many Little Rock students lost a year of education as the legal fight over desegregation continued. In 1959, a federal court struck down Faubus' school-closing law, and in August 1959 Little Rock's white high schools opened a month early with black students in attendance. All grades in Little Rock public schools were finally integrated in 1972.
September 24, 1789: The First Supreme Court
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-first-supreme-court
The Judiciary Act of 1789 is passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, establishing the Supreme Court of the United States as a tribunal made up of six justices who were to serve on the court until death or retirement. That day, President Washington nominated John Jay to preside as chief justice, and John Rutledge, William Cushing, John Blair, Robert Harrison, and James Wilson to be associate justices. On September 26, all six appointments were confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Supreme Court was established by Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution granted the Supreme Court ultimate jurisdiction over all laws, especially those in which their constitutionality was at issue. The high court was also designated to oversee cases concerning treaties of the United States, foreign diplomats, admiralty practice, and maritime jurisdiction. On February 1, 1790, the first session of the U.S. Supreme Court was held in New York City's Royal Exchange Building.
The U.S. Supreme Court grew into the most important judicial body in the world in terms of its central place in the American political order. According to the Constitution, the size of the court is set by Congress, and the number of justices varied during the 19th century before stabilizing in 1869 at nine. In times of constitutional crisis, the nation's highest court has always played a definitive role in resolving, for better or worse, the great issues of the time.
September 23, 1875: Billy the Kid arrested for first time
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/billy-the-kid-arrested-for-first-time
On this day in 1875, Billy the Kid is arrested for the first time after stealing a basket of laundry. He later broke out of jail and roamed the American West, eventually earning a reputation as an outlaw and murderer and a rap sheet that allegedly included 21 murders.
The exact details of Billy the Kid's birth are unknown, other than his name, William Henry McCarty. He was probably born sometime between 1859 and 1861, in Indiana or New York. As a child, he had no relationship with his father and moved around with his family, living in Indiana, Kansas, Colorado and Silver City, New Mexico. His mother died in 1874 and Billy the Kid—who went by a variety of names throughout his life, including Kid Antrim and William Bonney—turned to crime soon afterward.
McCarty did a stint as a horse thief in Arizona before returning to New Mexico, where he hooked up with a gang of gunslingers and cattle rustlers involved in the notorious Lincoln County War between rival rancher and merchant factions in Lincoln County in 1878. Afterward, Billy the Kid, who had a slender build, prominent crooked front teeth and a love of singing, went on the lam and continued his outlaw's life, stealing cattle and horses, gambling and killing people. His crimes earned him a bounty on his head and he was eventually captured and indicted for killing a sheriff during the Lincoln County War. Billy the Kid was sentenced to hang for his crime; however, a short time later, he managed another jail break, murdering two deputies in the process. Billy the Kid's freedom was brief, as Sheriff Pat Garrett caught up with the desperado at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, on July 14, 1881, and fatally shot him.
Although his life was short, Billy the Kid's legend grew following his death. Today he is a famous symbol of the Old West, along with such men as Kit Carson, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp, and his story has been mythologized and romanticized in numerous films, books, TV shows and songs. Each year, tourists visit the town of Fort Sumner, located about 160 miles southeast of Albuquerque, to see the Billy the Kid Museum and gravesite.
September 22, 1862: Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation
Previously posted at: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/lincoln-issues-emancipation-proclamation
On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issues a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which sets a date for the freedom of more than 3 million black slaves in the United States and recasts the Civil War as a fight against slavery.
When the Civil War broke out in 1861, shortly after Lincoln's inauguration as America's 16th president, he maintained that the war was about restoring the Union and not about slavery. He avoided issuing an anti-slavery proclamation immediately, despite the urgings of abolitionists and radical Republicans, as well as his personal belief that slavery was morally repugnant. Instead, Lincoln chose to move cautiously until he could gain wide support from the public for such a measure.
In July 1862, Lincoln informed his cabinet that he would issue an emancipation proclamation but that it would exempt the so-called border states, which had slaveholders but remained loyal to the Union. His cabinet persuaded him not to make the announcement until after a Union victory. Lincoln's opportunity came following the Union win at the Battle of Antietam in September 1862. On September 22, the president announced that slaves in areas still in rebellion within 100 days would be free.
On January 1, 1863, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation, which declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebel states "are, and henceforward shall be free." The proclamation also called for the recruitment and establishment of black military units among the Union forces. An estimated 180,000 African Americans went on to serve in the army, while another 18,000 served in the navy.
After the Emancipation Proclamation, backing the Confederacy was seen as favoring slavery. It became impossible for anti-slavery nations such as Great Britain and France, who had been friendly to the Confederacy, to get involved on behalf of the South. The proclamation also unified and strengthened Lincoln's party, the Republicans, helping them stay in power for the next two decades.
The proclamation was a presidential order and not a law passed by Congress, so Lincoln then pushed for an antislavery amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ensure its permanence. With the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, slavery was eliminated throughout America (although blacks would face another century of struggle before they truly began to gain equal rights).
Lincoln's handwritten draft of the final Emancipation Proclamation was destroyed in the Chicago Fire of 1871. Today, the original official version of the document is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

Karen and I recently went to Conyngham, Pennsylvania to revisit one of the best breweries we've found on our camping trips, Conyngham Brewing Co. Now before you go crazy trying to figure out how to say it just keep it simple, it is pronounced Cunningham. Owner/Brewmaster Marc Eble and Assistant Brewer Darren Wolfe applied for their license in November 2012 and opened their doors in May of 2013. In comparison to here in New Jersey, I would have to say the process is a little easier in PA. The building that houses the Brewery was a general store dating back to the early 1800's and was once owned by Darren's grandparents. Marc and Darren took it down to the studs, and upgraded everything except for the old meat cooler with the original antique door. What once housed meat now is the home for the kegs for the taproom. They opened up with a 1 BBL system with a Kölsch being the first beer they brewed. Within 6 months they needed to move up to a 2 BBL system, and then up to their current brew house which is a 5 BBL system with 12 assorted 5 & 10 BBL fermenters. That jump made the beer making much faster. They both joked that what used to take 22 hours to brew now takes 6. The taproom itself is one of the warmest and welcoming ones we've been in. It has a 30"+ wide U-shaped bar that is made from reclaimed floorboards from the front of the building which were the living quarters that sits about 12 comfortably.
The bar area has a nice fireplace, and restrooms are nicer than most custom homes. As you travel through the doorway from the taproom, you enter what was once Darren's grandmothers kitchen which has been transformed into a nice area with high tables, oversized brown leather couches, and a dartboard. Through a sliding door to your right, you enter what was the living quarters which is now adorned with more high tables, and oversized brown leather couches. Across the front of the room are about a dozen barrels filled with assorted styles including 1-2 year old sours in various flavors. It's hard to truly appreciate what a great find this is, so you need to plan a weekend and experience true Artisan beer making. When you do go, try to catch a weekend with the Sunday brunch. As you could imagine everything is farm to table. They do it about once a month so do your research, and you won't be disappointed.
1. What was the first beer you brewed, and how was it?
I only homebrewed once in my life, and it was in Hawaii. I built my own mash tun out of coolers, and did an all grain Belgium inspired Chocolate Mint Stout. It was ok, but I knew what I did wrong. I used fresh mint, and did not remove the stems which gave it a bittering aspect. I did get the chocolate part right with the timing of the coco nibs, and the underlying beer was quite tasty.
2. What is your favorite style to brew, and why?
The favorite style I like to brew because of the ease and the great final product would be our Kölsch. Now my favorite to brew to drink is our Bourbon Barrel Stout. I lived in Hawaii for 8 years, and still have friends there who send me fresh coffee which I put in the barrels.
3. Do you look at ratings on Untappd, Beer Advocate, or Rate Beer, and does it influence your recipes?
Once in a while I look at Untappd because you kind of have to. I mainly log in to keep the beers up to date. It in no way affects my recipes in any way.
4. How do you stay connected to the local area in relation to sourcing ingredients?
We have our own 20 acre farm about 8 minutes away. We grow our own hops, but not 100% of our hop bill is from that. We source local oats. All the fruit in our sours are grown on our farm. The honey for our Mint Tea Honey Saison comes from our hives.
5. What is one tip you would give home brewers to make better beer?
Remember you have the advantage. You can buy whatever you want because you don't have to worry about sales so don't skimp on the ingredients. I hate t give the typical answer, but sanitizing is a huge part of it which can be extremely hard in the homebrew environment. Keep it simple. If you try to complicate things you run the risk of things going wrong.
6. What is the one piece of advice you would give someone who wants to open a brewery?
I get this answer 95% of the time. DON'T! I say that knowing if it's your true passion nothing will discourage you. You will need to double, and triple the time you think it will take. You will need to be resourceful. Our Glycol chiller went down, and Darren was able to get it operational, and I went and took the EPA test, and now I'm certified in HVAC. For me it's my life, and I've had to make sacrifices in my social life, friends, and sometimes relationships because it's that important to me. I used to love going to breweries, but that is very rare since I opened up. If you're going to other breweries for "research" then you're just ripping them off, and that's not respectful, and you probably won't make it.
7. If there is one beer you could brew with no regards to cost, production, or sales, what would it be?
I've actually already have done it. It's our Imperial Dessert Stout which comes in at 17.5% ABV. We went one step further and put it into a Cognac barrel which should amp it up to about 21% when it comes out. We made that beer just to see if we could. We weren't worried about cost, sales or time. We just wanted to see how big we could go.
8. Looking back to opening day forward, what was the one thing that happened that surprised you?
The change in the market. We opened up at the tail end of the first boom, and yes we are seeing another resurgence now. When we started bars and distributors were hounding us, but we weren't ready, and by the time we were the market got very competitive to the point that it's a challenge to get into bars and taverns.
9. Other than your beer, what is your go to after a long day at the brewery?
It's hard to say our beer since I live upstairs (laugh). I would have to say when I'm lucky enough to find it is Traquair House Scottish Ale. It's a Brewery that only makes 2 beers to support their castle in Scotland.
10. Where do you see the brewery in a year? In 5 Years?
Darren chimed in right away "Key West". Which I quickly said "I'm in". Seriously I want to do more distribution. That's my main goal because it's all about the beer. 5 Years. If the distribution doesn't work out then we will move somewhere where we will have a better opportunity to distribute.
Bonus 1. What's the best beer you ever had?
The Traquair House definitely comes to mind. There was also a great experience we had in Philly at the Brewers Conference where we went to a bar after and found Kosmic Mother Funk Grand Cru from Sam Adams on tap for $6 a pint. We had no choice but to kill the sixtel.
Bonus 2. What do you listen to when you're brewing?
A lot of Van Halen when we're brewing and country when we are bottling.
To say we enjoyed our visit would be an understatement. I can't wait until the next visit which will be in early July. If you are a fan of craft beer then you need to punch Conyngham Brewing into your GPS and start driving.
10 Questions With Bonsaw Brewing Company's Brewmaster A.J. Stoll!
We finally made it to Bonesaw Brewing Company in Glassboro, N.J. to do our "10 Questions with the Brewer" Brewmaster AJ Stoll. If you are like us, you have been following construction of this Brewery over the last year or so. Bonesaw was one of the first breweries in our area to be built from the ground up and we were curious about what it would look like, and more importantly how good the beer would be. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, to entering into the massive taproom, to the first sip of beer, one word comes to mind: Craftsmanship. What Dr. Rich DeVerniero, and brother-in laws David & Allen Doe, and Brewmaster AJ Stoll have created is a total sensory overload. From the custom light fixtures crafted by Dr. Rich himself to the impressive live edge bar, and wood work done by Randy P. Goodman of Random 8 Woodworks. All 4 owners were heavily involved with every single phase of construction. Bonesaw Brewing consists of a 17 BBL (20HL) brewhouse with 10-50 BBL (60HL) fermenters and 2-50 BBL (60HL) Brite tanks. He also has a few freshly filled barrels that I can't wait to try.
Brewmaster AJ Stoll took the long way to get to N.J… He is originally from Orange County, California, where his brewing journey started at Seven Bridges Organic Homebrew Supply in Santa Cruz. AJ got the bug early, and the supply store gave him a way to stay in touch with it (Plus the discounts didn't hurt either). While at Seven Bridges he actually worked with Tim Clifford and Jason Hansen who went on to open Santé Adairius Rustic Ales in 2012, and are really making some great beers. After college, AJ got an assistant brewer job with Seabright Brewery. After a short stint there, he moved on to his first Head Brewer job at Ukiah Brewing Co. From there he moved to Figueroa Mountain Brewing where his Imperial IPA Lizard's Mouth was nominated for best new beer in 2014. Along with dozens of awards he helped Figueroa grow from 1,200 BBL to 20,000 BBL per year in production.
Later on in 2014 AJ got the opportunity to go to Kerry, Ireland where he helped start-up Killarney Brewing Company which has become well-respected in the beer world. Although AJ joked that it only rains twice for 6 months at a time he was taken by the beauty, and the 40 shades of green. Something else that was surprising to him was that most of the 10,000 BBL they produced sold in just a 10 mile radius which confirms that the Irish love their beer.
The time at Killarney lasted about a year, and it was time for AJ to come back to the states. In 2015 he found himself at Funky Buddha in Florida where he helped get their Brewhouse in order before it was sold to Constellation Brands. Then like the song say's, I'm going back to Cali. When he got back to California he started working as a consultant with the plan to work with as many different breweries of all sizes to absorb as much experience as he could. He helped start new breweries, and helped tweak existing ones until he got the call to be the Brewmaster at Bonesaw.
It was an all grain Belgium double kit which I brewed twice before I wrote my own recipe for a Maple Buckwheat Brown Ale, and my love for brewing spiraled out of control from there. The first batch didn't come out exactly like I hoped, but all the next ones came out good, and drinkable.
I'm a chameleon when it comes to that. I like to brew darker beers because it makes the whole brewery smell good. Being from California I do love to brew IPA's, but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be Lagers. They are the hardest, and most transparent. If something goes wrong everyone knows it. I also like Pilsners for the same reason.
3. Do you look at ratings on Untapped, Beer Advocate, or Rate Beer, and does it influence your recipes?
I do look at them from time to time just as a quality control check to see if there's a problem. I'm really not looking to see if someone liked the beer, but more if they went into one of our accounts and got a beer that tasted funny. It does not affect my recipes at all. We have 16 beers on tap right now with all different styles, so if you can't find something it may be you just don't like beer.
That's one of my favorite things to do everywhere I've been is to use local ingredients. We use local honey for some of our beers as well as malts from Rabbit Hill Farms which has been a nice recurring theme to this question. Our peaches, and pumpkins are all local, and our coffee is roasted right in Pitman. It's not just the freshness, and quality, but supporting local businesses that support us.
Don't be afraid to dump a batch and start over if you're not happy with it. With all the books and internet it's much easier to get it right the first time than it was 20 years ago.
6. What is the one piece of advice you would give to someone who wants to open a brewery?
Don't assume that because you are a home brewer that you're a brewer. I'm not saying you can't make the leap to a 3 BBL system, but it would be a good idea to bring someone in who has big system experience. Try to get some professional schooling or an internship with a bigger brewery. Make sure it's your passion.
7. If there was a beer you could brew with no regards to cost, production, or sales, what would it be?
I would probably brew a Triple IPA with some of the more expensive, and hard to get hops like Galaxy etc. I would also love to try an Ice Bock (Eisbock) which is where you freeze and remove a percentage of the water to increase the alcohol content, and turn it into a Triple Bock. I can't legally do it in New Jersey because it's distillation, but it would be pretty cool to do. A Stone Beer would be interesting to try also. It's when you super heat rocks and put them in the kettle to get it to boil.
How many people showed up to drink beer, and support us. We obviously wanted to be successful, and built this place for the consumer, but the response was very humbling. We only had 2 beers for the first 2 weeks, but the place was packed, and we were extremely grateful for it.
I still love Yuengling. It was hard to get in California and Florida so it was a treat when I could get it.
We are planning on growth of course. Our taproom is our most important thing right now, but we want to expand out with our accounts to more of New Jersey and Philadelphia. We also have plans for a second building in the back lot where we can not only make more beer, but more interesting beer. We just filled our first set of barrels which is something we want to continue to do more of. In 5 years we would love to build another Bonesaw probably in South Carolina somewhere. Rich, Dave, Allen, and I really enjoyed building this one, and our fingerprints are on almost everything in here. We are not the kind of guys to stand around with clipboards, and would love to do this again.
Bonus: What's the best beer you ever had?
I have a couple ones. I would have to say a Rodenbach Grand Cru for sure. I had a 10 year vertical of Bigfoot Barleywine from Sierra Nevada that was really good. It's also an experience that makes a beer the best one. If I really had to pick one it would be the Augustiner Helles' Lager I had sitting in the Augustiner Beer Hall in Munich.
Bonus 2: What do you listen to when you're brewing?
I have to have music playing when I'm brewing. I'm all over the place when it comes to music. The other day I listened to The Killers all day. Some days I listen to older country music, or I'll get on a Peter Gabriel or Genesis kick. You can never go wrong with 80's heavy metal either.
I would like to thank AJ, Rich, Dave, and Allen for being such gracious hosts, and taking time out of their day to sit down with me. One other thing I noticed was that the entire staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable which was the cherry on top of the whole experience. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the area. They also have nitro cold brew coffee on tap as well as homemade sodas for you non beer people.
We have been sitting on this article for quite some time. Not because it wasn't done well, we just wanted to hold onto it until Slack Tide Brewing Company was ready to release their first run of cans. While we were awaiting the boys to let us know, something very cool happened, they went out and one a Bronze Medal at The Great American Beer Festival for Avalon Amber Ale! So as this article goes to press their cans of Angry Osprey, Bell Buoy, and Tipsy Dipsy are available in 12 oz 6 packs at the brewery and select locations around South Jersey. Without further adieu, here is Tom's article born of sweat and hard work while yours truly sat in air conditioning!
I recently spent a couple days with Tadhg Campbell of Slack Tide Brewing Company to experience what a brew day consists of. The first day started with cleaning and sanitizing the equipment that will be used for the day. On day one Tadhg and assistant brewer Shawn Karge were going to be brewing a BBL batch one of mine and my wife's favorite, Avalon Amber Ale. Apparently we are not the only ones who think that.3 This beer just took home the Bronze in the American-Style Amber/Red category for the Avalon at the Great American Beer Festival. Tadhg mentioned to me that it's not a popular style, but I don't understand why. It has beautiful color, and a nice toasty, malty flavor. For this batch we milled 110 lbs of base grain, and another 90lbs of specialty malt grains. While the grains did their thing in the Mash Tun we started cleaning kegs, and getting things set up to transfer Sand Spike Session IPA from the fermenter to the Brite tank. While the Sand Spike transfer was taking place I was able to clean 12 half kegs and 19 sixtels in their Keg Commander cleaner. We will be filling those the next day with Sand Spike, their Session IPA. My first day was only about 3 hours, but it was a great warm-up for what was to come on day 2.
Day 2 started out at a balmy 86 degrees in the brew house at 6am. That day Tadhg and assistant brewer Chuck Wieland were going to be brewing a double 10 BBL batch of Bell Buoy, their award wining Belgian Blonde . The grain bill for each batch will be a little over 700 lbs. While the first batch of Bell Buoy was in the Mash Tun we started kegging the delicious Sand Spike out of the Brite Tank which yielded 12 half kegs, and 19 sixtels which I had cleaned yesterday. By 8:30 we had the first 10 BBL batch of Bell Buoy in the Brew Kettle and all of the Sand Spike in kegs. It is balmy in the brew house, currently in the low 90's, thankfully the cloud cover is saving us. As I thought about the process of brewing, the one word that keeps popping into my head is "multitasking". As Forrest Gump said "There's always something to do and somewhere to go". It's 9 am, and we start to sanitize the 20 BBL fermenter that housed Sand Spike the day before, and will be the new home for the double batch of Bell Buoy for a couple of weeks. At around 10 am we add the hop bill to the first batch of Bell Buoy and start to pull out the spent grains from the Mash Tun which will be picked up by a local farmer to feed his livestock. I also took some of the spent grain and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies with them that turned out really good (Editor's Note: They were good!). The sun is out, and it's about 100 degrees inside the metal building which houses the brewing operation. so much for me and my big mouth talking about the cloud cover. As we finished removing the first batch of spent grain, Tadhg started pumping the Bell Buoy through the heat exchanger, and into the freshly sanitized 20 BBL fermenter.
As always there is something to sanitize, and prep for the next stage. It's like a grain, hops, water, and sanitizing symphony that is kind of special to be a part of. It's now 11:25 am and is about 110 degrees in the brew house, Chuck is moving to the taproom, and we are joined by sales representative Jordi Nicolau to finish up the day in the brew house. We are now ready to move the second batch from the Mash Tun to the Brew Kettle, and we are still sanitizing the Brite Tank to get it ready for the next batch of liquid gold to go in it. Time check is now 12:45 pm, and I just pulled out the second batch of grain from the Mash which comes in at about 1800 lbs when saturated, and the second batch is boiling. Although Tadhg's day is far from over I'm ready to taste test some of the Sand Spike we kegged, and grab a few crowlers for the 4th. I can't thank Tadhg, and his brother Jason, and everyone at Slack Tide that I worked with over the 2 days. It was an awesome experience, and it was hot, and hard work, but if you love what you do you never work a day in your life. I can't wait to do this at another brewery, and have another great experience.
I recently sat down with the new Head Brewer of Tuckahoe Brewing Co. Ingrid Epoch to talk about her past, and present with Tuckahoe Brewing. Ingrid started out her professional brewing career with Devil's Creek Brewing in Collingswood in the spring of 2016. In September of 2017, she brought her skills to Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing where she brewed until April of this year when she became Head Brewer of Tuckahoe Brewing Co. Although I only had a short time to interview Ingrid due to a rigorous brewing schedule, I got the impression that this is going to be a good fit. While she will continue to brew our favorite recipes we have enjoyed over the last 7 years, she will also bring in some new styles for us to enjoy. I'm really excited to see what the future holds for Tuckahoe Brewing. To learn a little more about Ingrid I asked her our 10 questions which is one of my favorite assignments because of the great tips and knowledge they produce.
What was the first beer you brewed, and how was it?
After reading "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing" by Charlie Papazian AKA "The Bible" to most homebrewers I knew I was going to love to brew. I started out more ambitious than most and made an all grain Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout. It had some off flavors and didn't come out as I had hoped, but my friends liked it. They were not as experienced at the time with craft beer so they were not as critical as I was.
What is your favorite style to brew, and why?
Although I really love to brew Belgium beers there is such a broad range of answers to that question. I love brewing all the seasonal beers for the variety. I love a great Quad in the winter, and a good Saison in the summer, but my favorite time is fall when my first run of Stouts start to come out.
Do you look at ratings on Untapped, Beer Advocate, or Rate Beer, and does it influence your recipes?
More than I really should. I don't mean to sound pretentious, but I know what I want from my recipe better than someone who is reviewing it. In the end, I want to make beer that I like to drink, and it seems most people like to drink it as well. I do like it for legitimate concerns like bad draft lines, and if there is any out of date kegs floating around out there. The best piece of advice I got was to lose my Untapped account.
How do you stay connected to the local area in relation to ingredients?
Great question right at this time. We are using malts from Rabbit Hill Farms in a collaboration beer with Slack Tide Brewing that will be out soon. We try to get local hops to do small wet hop collaboration batches. Even more local I'm trying to grow hops on the side of the building. Of course, we are using some blueberries for a Saison that we are making, and we use local produce in the Firkins we do every 3rd Thursday.
What is one tip you would give home brewers to make better beer?
Get the right equipment to measure things properly. Do not rely on the old school eyeball method for anything. Although cleaning is the biggest part, monitoring your recipes should not take a back seat. The one thing that helped me make the jump from a home brewer to a professional brewer was keeping good records. I have sheets that I write down every possible thing so I can consistently hit those marks every time. Repeatability is the difference between home brewing and professional brewing.
What is the one piece of advice you would give to someone who wants to open a brewery?
Save up twice as much money as you think you will need. Also, you need to realize you will need at least 6 months from the time you brew your first beer to the time you sell your first beer. What has become a common answer in New Jersey is be prepared to wait for permits, licenses, and whatever else comes up. Have your brand, know your brand, and understand it. There are a lot of great breweries making really good beer so you need to know how you're going to sell it, and who you're going to market it to. That needs to be part of your package from day one. The label on the outside is just as important as the beer on the inside.
If there was a beer you could brew with no regards to cost, production, or sales what would it be?
I would do a high ABV Scottish Export Stout, but barrel age it in Oloroso Sherry Barrels that they use for scotch. It would be a Scotch on Scotch. The barrels are extremely expensive, and the grain bill I have written up for it is prohibitively expensive too.
Looking back at your first day forward, what was the one thing that surprised you?
Having an insane amount of good, knowledgeable help was great. Everyone was so into the program I wanted to put into place. A lot of time when a brewer leaves everyone follows, but that wasn't the case here.
Other than your beer, what is your go-to after a long day at the brewery?
Not to sound cliché for the area, but Tonewood's Fuego. It's so great, and I only live a couple blocks from the brewery so it's easy to pop in and fill my growler.
Where do you see the brewery in a year? In 5 years?
We want to double the capacity by adding 2 more 30 BBL fermenters, and 2 additional 30 BBL Brite Tanks. In 5 years I would love to see us distributing in all of New Jersey, in Philadelphia, and beyond. I want us to be in Delaware, and possibly the eastern shore of Maryland.
Bonus 1: What was the best beer you ever had?
It was a Foudre Aged Sour Saison from Stone Brewing that I had at a dinner they hosted at The Blue Monkey in Merchantville.
Bonus 2: What do you listen to when you brew?
Almost always listen to 36 Chambers by Wu-Tang when I boil because the album is about an hour so it's a mental focus thing since I know when the end is coming. Other than that we self DJ and someone puts on an album and we rock and roll.
Join us at South Jersey Beer Scene in welcoming Ingrid to Tuckahoe Brewing, and stop in to say hi, and have a beer. I'm really excited to try one of her recipes.

Lucas Garrett: GF musician's Caffe Lena solo debut, album, unique sound
December 1, 2022 Hot Copy
Lucas Garrett graduated from Glens Falls Hall in 2011, went to SUNY Adirondack for Science and earned his Bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from SUNY Empire in 2017 — but music is his passion and his career.
He has his solo debut at Caffe Lena, the storied coffeehouse in Saratoga Springs, tonight, Thursday, Dec. 1.
The 7 p.m. show is a release party for Reaching Through Dreams, Lucas' latest album, what he describes as a very personal collection of six original songs. (Tix: $16, $8 child; info: caffelena.org.)
'No one knows how it works'
It so happens Lucas has Pompe disease. The ventilator and wheelchair he depends on are part of the picture, not the definition of it, although it has informed his work in unique musical ways.
Growing up, Lucas says, "Like any kid, I was all over the place, into something new every day. Then, I heard my dad playing the White Album by the Beatles when I was really little, about 7, and I was like, What the hell am I hearing? I was instantly into it."
Lucas studied guitar briefly as a kid with local Mike Flores, but says he is largely self-taught. He's recently begun additional lessons with acoustic blues player Thomasina Winslow of Albany.
Reaching Through Dreams has a sound reminiscent of 70s concept artists Peter Gabriel or David Byrne. Lucas' unique baritone voice has an ethereal quality, high on the outside edge. His songs are both complex and catchy.
"I never took vocal lessons," Lucas says, "but I sing practically every day."
"Absolutely no one including myself knows how the hell I'm singing on a ventilator," he says. "Even my doctor asks, how do you do it?
"The long answer is, I breathe with the ventilator in a way that incorporates the muscles."
He's in a wheelchair, but he's not paralyzed, Lucas notes. "The only difference between me and a typical person is, my muscles don't work as well. But they do work."
"When I was young, I was a lot weaker than I am now. When people say, they've never seen anyone play the guitar quite like I do," he says, "I had to learn a lot of different patterns. I didn't have the strength to go up and down the neck. In that sense, my weakness at the time informed my playing.
"Now I'm older, stronger and healthier. I can play the way the guitar is usually played."
The modifications he developed are "not unprecedented," Lucas says, but more common to jazz players. He calls his guitar style "the best of both: Conventionality, and some unconventionalness."
"Even though I have a math and science background," and opportunity to pursue a related career, he says, "I know what I need to be doing. It just feels right to be doing music. At the end of the day you have to do the career that is meaningful to you."
Today, he says, "All the income I make is from music making or music activities," including teaching guitar and writing about music for Nippertown, the online Capital Region music site.
'Music is an equalizer'
"Music is an equalizer," Lucas says. "People see me with a guitar in my hand, they take me a lot more seriously than they do if they just see me out and about."
That's both fortunate and unfortunate, he says.
"Stereotypes are lazy. Speaking just from my experience," he says he sees less "ableism" from younger people than older — maybe a sign the world is changing.
And, he says, "When it comes to music, I see the least ableism. They don't care what your problem is. They just want to make some music. There are lots of other messed up things in the music industry, but looking at me as an equal, it's nice to have that."
"I don't like to pigeonhole myself," Lucas says of his sound. "Overall, I call it alternative rock. It's broad, allows me to do whatever I want."
Influences, Beatles to locals
"Influences," he says: "I started with the Beatles. Cat Stevens, Jethro Tull, Peter Gabriel, Jack White of the White Stripes. I listen to a lot of different things, all the way back to 1500s Celtic music."
He appreciates local musicians he's worked with citing, among others, Girl Blue and Candy Ambulance — longtime collaborators he played with earlier this fall at the Park Theater in Glens Falls.
"I'm thankful to be part of a great community of musicians," he says. "Now to be playing Caffe Lena as a headliner…."
His Lucas Garrett Band members are Kevin Kosach on bass, Madison Lewis on vocals, and rotating drummers — Sam Zucchini for the Lena gig.
The local who's-who of album collaborators includes Eric Braymer on bass, Paul Guay on drums, Tania Susi on violin, Jonathan Newell on keys, the late Bob Bates on cello, and producers Marc Clayton and Alan Dunham.
Pandemic-born album 'Reaching'
Reaching Through Dreams had its start in August 2020, "when the pandemic was at its worst," Lucas says. "I thought I was done with music. We had so much going and then, like so many of my friends, lost it all overnight. I was a guitar teacher, performing out and working at various studios. I had all this money coming in, and it all went away overnight. I sat down and wrote the first song, 'So Many Times.' It's really a story about anxiety."
He put it aside, he said, until 2021.
"As the world started opening, slowly, I found it again."
"At the same time someone came into my life that changed how I view love. I'm not old, but when you are 29 and someone changes your entire view on what love is — a lot of songs on the album deal with that as well," he says.
"The first lyric on the album is 'I'm going crazy, what is under my bed?' The last lyric of the last song is 'You lay your head on my shoulder of stone, it turns into clouds.' I think that's very indicative of what the album is about."

Vance class sets record with 8 female pilots
VANCE AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. — Vance Air Force Base set a new record Dec. 3 as eight of the student pilots graduating in Class 22-03 were women. That broke the previous record of seven women graduating with Class 17-06 in March 2017.
The eight women and 22 men in Class 22-03 embraced their diversity by celebrating women throughout their entire time training in the T-6A Texan II. In fact, their class patch, an identifier worn by all members of the class, embraced female pop culture.
"We're the 'girl class,'" said 2nd Lt. Caitlin Bitting, now in follow-on training with the 25th Flying Training Squadron at Vance. "So we made our class patch based off of the movie 'Mean Girls' to tell people to 'get in… we're going flying.'"
2nd Lt. Raily Duffy, with Class 22-03, is the creative genius behind the iconic patch.
"The guys ate it up, they even got mad when we tried to use the color yellow instead of pink," Duffy said.
While Class 22-03 was a record-breaking class, members of the class described the experience as normal.
"When I walked in and saw that many girls, I didn't think anything of it," said 2nd Lt. Shinryu Aoyama, a male student pilot in the class. "I mean, we like to brag when we're different, and being different isn't a weakness, it's a strength that we got to share as a class. With different ways of thinking and different backgrounds, it can only make us better."
The mission at Vance continues to be to train the world's best pilots. Class 22-03 members made sure that even with a record-breaking class, they brought just as much to the table as every other class.
"Being in this profession, it's important to know that standards don't change based on gender," said 1st Lt. Kaitlyn Cook, a student now in follow-on training with the 25th FTS.
In addition to the patch, the women brought a since of camaraderie that the other classes didn't seem to have. They looked at pilot training as a "team sport."
"Our flight commander emphasized that if we worked together, we would succeed," Cook said. "We really took that to heart, even to go as far as to have weekly dinners and breakfasts together."
Duffy also thought the brunches their class enjoyed were a unique twist that the women brought.
Whether it was the brunches or the teamwork, Cook and Duffy's recipe for success paid off. They both graduated as two of the three distinguished graduates from Class 22-03.
"I would tell young girls that want to fly, to go for it," Cook said. "It's hard for a reason. We need our Air Force pilots to know how to do complex things. Don't let that deter you from being a part of such an awesome group."
The other five females graduating with Class 22-03 were 2nd Lt. Abby deVarennes, 2nd Lt. Mary Luking, 2nd Lt. Melanie Sundahl, 2nd Lt. Mariah Waters and 2nd Lt. Kayla Wofford.

Brooklyn és un dels cinc districtes que conformen la ciutat de Nova York. Va ser una ciutat independent fins a la seva inclusió dins del conglomerat urbà de Nova York el 1898. Actualment, Brooklyn és el barri més poblat de la ciutat amb prop de 2,5 milions d'habitants.

El borough de Brooklyn concorda amb els límits del comtat de Kings (comtat de Reis), el qual és a més el comtat més poblat de l'Estat de Nova York. Si fos una ciutat independent, Brooklyn seria de les quatre ciutats més poblades dels Estats Units. Brooklyn va obtenir el seu nom en honor del rei Carles II d'Anglaterra, a causa d'això també rep l'apel·latiu de "Ciutat de Reis".

Malgrat la unió amb Nova York, Brooklyn manté una forta identitat. Ha estat anomenada City of Trees (Ciutat dels Arbres), City of Homes (Ciutat de les Cases) o també City of Churches (Ciutat de les Esglésies) i al , Brooklyn és de vegades anomenat "Borough of Homes and Churches" (Districte de Cases i Esglésies).

Com un intent de promoció, l'Administració Local ha col·locat senyals de trànsit al llarg de les avingudes més transitades en els límits de Brooklyn. S'han col·locat acolorides expressions associades amb Brooklyn com per exemple: "Fugheddaboudit" (Forget about it: oblida-ho), "Oy vey" (Oh dear: volgut) i "How Sweet it is" (Com és de dolç això). Un senyal identifica a Brooklyn com: "Home to Everyone From Everywhere" (Llar per a qualsevol de qualsevol lloc).

El seu nom prové de la ciutat neerlandesa de Breukelen, per una característica comuna entre aquestes, en ambdues existia un petit pantà (broek o breuk -pronunciat [bruk]: pantà; més el sufix diminutiu neerlandès elen), de manera que el significat original de Brooklyn és "Pantanet".

Esports
Brooklyn ha estat llar de moltes figures conegudes com a Joe Patern, Joe Torre, Larry Brown, Mike Tyson, Paul Lo Duca, Bobby Fischer, Michael Jordan i Vince Lombardi. Els parcs que es troben a través de Brooklyn com Prospect Park, Marine Park i la comunitat de complexos esportius en Floyd Bennett Field proveeixen als residents de l'oportunitat de practicar els seus esports preferits.

L'equip més famós de Brooklyn són els antics Brooklyn Dodgers que jugaven al Ebbets Field, van ser malnomenats els "trolley dodgers" com una referència als tramvies que alguna vegada van travessar el borough.

El més gran èxit dels Dodgers va tenir lloc el 1947 quan Jackie Robinson entrà al camp vestint l'uniforme dels Dodgers, constituint-se així en el primer afroamericà a participar en la Lliga Major de Beisbol Nord-americà. El 1955, els Dodgers van guanyar la seva primera i única Sèrie Mundial a Brooklyn contra el seu clàssic rival els New York Yankees. L'esdeveniment és recordat, ja que va ser celebrat massivament pels habitants del borough. Dos anys després els Dodgers van canviar la seva seu a Los Angeles.

Després de 43 anys sense beisbol, aquest esport va tornar a Brooklyn al conformar-se l'equip dels Brooklyn Cyclones, un equip de les lligues menors de beisbol que van començar a jugar a Coney Island.

A: By default, extensions cannot load scripts, or other object resources, from the Internet. All CSS and JavaScript content used by your extension should be part of the extension package.
(This documentation is from Chrome, but the exact same policies apply to Firefox WebExtensions.)
It's possible to relax these restrictions somewhat, but this should generally be avoided -- loading resources from a remote server will make your extension fail to work properly if the user does not have Internet access, or if they are behind a restrictive firewall. Additionally, addons.mozilla.org will not accept addons which execute remotely hosted Javascript.
