Yellow Bus had a hazy peach body that glows when backlit but has enough haziness to add some murk, almost like unfiltered cider. A small fizzy white head was all I could manage on a strong pour and crackles down in seconds to absolutely nothing, no collar, no lacing. The body looks extremely appetizing but the lack of any visible head is detrimental to the overall look.
Yellow Bus's aroma is out of this world good! Super acidic, bursting fresh peaches permeates every olfactory gland and nearly gets me high. The funky notes in this brew are right along the lines of Cantillon, having a ton of the same characteristics. Minerally damp rock, cobweb infested musty attic, and tart acid citric notes all bring the raucous with hints at lactic tartness as well, giving of a low level of peaches and cream. Soft oak cradles all the funk and vivid peachy qualities. I could keep my beak in the glass all night long and fall asleep a satisfied man.
This is delicious beer! As good as this tastes I think the aroma was so outstanding it simply can't be touched on the flavor. The peach works it's magic from front to back, and side to side, with puckering tart tendencies. The funk is a little subdued when taking the smell into consideration but still shows all the same aspects. The peaches add some acidic tartness while also adding a touch of sweet, juicy notes overall. This really is an amazing beer!
The body has a medium feel and the carbonation isn't quite as lively as I'd like but I'm also nitpicking here as you can see from my score. A little stickiness hits on the backend while the peach tartness runs along the sides of my tongue. Each sip leaves me parched and immediately reaching for my glass.
The drinkability is simply off the charts. Yellow Bus is sweet, sour, refreshing and complex. I could without a doubt sit around and drink this beer all day long, well, until the heartburn got too bad to take. I had a hard time setting the glass down; it really does just beckon me to drink.
As much as Lost Abbey irritates me I have to say, they can brew some incredible beers and Yellow Bus is one of them, incredible. The white peaches are a tremendous touch to a great base. It's unfortunate the looks took the hit they did as I think the score could easily be higher.

Very interesting story behind these acquisition of YB. Id like to give a big thank you to Tomme and David for authenticating my bottles. They went way out of their way to help me and it is much appreciated
A- Poured from a Tomme Arthur hand signed bottle. Beautiful apricot color with a light ring of head.
N- Peach, peach, peach.... drank next to V004/V010 and the peach in YB was more prominent. Sour notes of vinegar probably from the age. Brett and moldy peach funk
T- Fresh ripe peach as though they were picked yesterday, sour peach skins, light vinegar and brett. moderate funk, with incredibly well balanced sweet/tart characteristics. Peach e o's come to mind
M- smooth with very light carbonation.
O- The best peach sour i have ever had...hands down... My wife drank most of my pour not realizing how rare the yellow bus is. Big thanks to Mark for letting me drink pretty much half of his glass.

Thanks Joel! Poured into LA Teku a hazy light orange, nothing remarkable. Faint peach and a fairly well rounded lactic and acetic punch to those nose. A bit of barnyardy funk, again pretty subtle. Opens with a blast of peach and nectarine, a bit of brine and apple cider vinegar over top of the peach flavor. Finishes very clean. A bit of green apple, but no oxidation. Fruit is more of an after-thought at this point, wish I could have tried this fresh. Very soft with light carbonation. Overall a great american wild, with just a touch of peach character left. This destroys fantasia and is in line with the best bottles of flaming fury I have tried, although the YB certainly has a bit more depth.

Thank you Joel! Delicious sour peach, My second time having Yellow Bus; had after Veritas 001 through 011 to my Lost Abbey Teku glass. Super sour, little bit hazy but that I flew up to cloudy noses. All peach sour, really nice, touch acetic and touch lactic, nice even a little bit of green apple and apple skin. Flavored sour with a light rice wine vinegar, peaches, peaches, and peaches. Significantly more sour and significantly less Peach than when I had it about a year and a half ago. A very nice mouthfeel, soft, sensuous touch of carbonation. Very very nice! Thanks, Joel!

A big thanks to Tomme and crew for surprising us by bringing this to our Lost Abbey tasting. Poured into a snifter.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden amber color with not much head to speak of.
Smell: There is a sweetness throughout with strong tart lemon and vinegar notes. I'm also getting a funk from this beer. Very light.
Taste: This is a really tart beer. Lots of lemon and some vinegar notes as well. Quire tart in the finish. I only got a hint of peaches. This beer is extremely refreshing on such a hot day.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with smooth tingly carbonation and and an extremely dry finish.
Overall: This beer was so light and refreshing. I loved the lemon notes. Just fantastic.

Bottled shared by Tomme at the massive Lost Abbey tasting. Served alongside Veritas 004 and 010 (the other LA peach sours) because we are assholes.
This beer looks fantastic - I usually don't get super excited about the way a beer looks, but something about this one just screamed PEACH - it was a hazy golden-orange with a thin white head. Smell is primarily lactic sour and oak, but there's certainly still some peach here which is pretty damn impressive given the age. Flavor is (shocking) sour peach, though it's not incredibly peachy like V004 was. It's quite sour, and I'd say my only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that it's a little too acidic. There are some vinegar notes here which keep it from being a perfect beer to me, which indicates that it might be a little past it's prime at this point. Mouthfeel is light-medium body with a great spritziness. Overall, this beer is fantastic, but consumed right next to Veritas 004, which was sublime, you see what it might've been a couple of years ago. Even past its prime, this is one of the best sours out there and I'm so psyched I had a chance to try it.

Tomme Arthur delivered this beer to my front door. Yes, I am serious. Poured into a mini snifter. RIDE THE BUS.
A - Medium golden hue with a lot of haze from the dredges. Very slight carbonation that recedes to the edge of the glass and disappears.
S - Wow. Still a ton of fresh cut peaches, mostly the skin of the peach. Good lactic smell as well.
T - Incredible. Still a bunch of peach pit in this beer. Light acidity that blends perfectly with peach.
M - Light spritzy and unbelievable drinkable. The sourness lingers well through the finish. The peach coats the back sides of my tongue.
O - I don't know what to say. This is the best experience I've ever hard in regards to beer. And this wasn't the only bottle he bought.

Sufficiently lucky to have attended the DC Lambic & Sour Tasting on April 14, 2012 although I've not posted my reviews/notes until doing a couple today.
I here give a brief review for the primary purpose of stating that I've found great varience in bottles.
Summary review:
Pours a light diluted yellow with a thin white head.
Nose is typical sour/lambic tart but, this is the first bottle of a few that I've tried that actually still had a hint (and, yes...just a hint) of peaches. Some funk and tartness in the nose. Nice.
The flavor profile here is generally on many of the more recent tasting, in my opinion, more "wishful thinking" than reality, although perhaps you "younger drinkers" simply have a better palate than me. In my opinon, there is no question that this beer is very over the hill - not gone but clearly nothing like it was when produced. Past experience has led me to make the above conclusion with a fervor. Here, in this bottle, there actually was a hint of peach and fruit, something I've found to be uncharacteristic in the bottles I've tried the past two years. This bottle was much better than the bottle I provided to our California tasting last year (and yet I know that it was from the same source).
Nice mouthfeel, nice flavors and all around decent to drink. I never tasted it fresh and about which I'm sorry since I think it must have been terrific. However, in the words of Tommee Arthur at the Extreme Beer Festival over two years ago..."It's way past it's prime and nothing like it was." I can't comment on that part! But, a nice experience for what it was with this particular bottle.

Thanks to Brad for sharing this beer at the DC sour tasting. Served in a Lost Abbey Teku glass because this was my only opportunity to drink this beer, might as well do it in style.
Beer is yellow and mildly hazy with a lazy white head, wispy, attracted to the glass, some lacing, moderate carbonation, looks really good.
There was some debate about how much peach was left in the aroma but I picked it out immediately. It is mildly acetic, tart, nice peach aroma without being overwhelming. Strong, sour finish.
Beer is light in body and quite tart on the back end. Some odd bitterness at the finish, mildly dry on the backend as well. Strong beer, forward in bite and brightness. Nice carbonic and lactic acid with hints of citrus and a mild funk at the end. An awesome beer for sure. Thanks again.

From 04/14/12. Huge huge thanks to ygtbsm94 for sharing this one; thanks Brad! A beer I never thought I'd get to try.
a - Pours a murky dark orange color with one inch of white head and low carbonation evident.
s - Smells of sour peaches, and light fruits, fruity malts, brett, light funk, fruity malts. A ton of fruit which surprised me given the age, and some light funk. Very nice nose.
t - Tastes of sour peaches, sour fruity malts, light fruits, oak, funk, brett. Taste is more tart then the nose and a step up for me.
m - Medium body and low carbonation. Easy to drink sour.
o - Overall I thought this was a great beer. I was struck by how much fruit was still in the nose and taste. The nose had some nice light funk and the taste had more sour peaches. Much better then Synergy, though I preferred DDG and Izzy to this one.

Bottle shared by ygtbsm94 at our insane sour ale tasting last weekend. Thanks Brad.
The beer appears golden yellow hued with a thin white head. To my delight and surprise, the aroma brings the pleasant scent of peaches. The flavor takes it up a level, with a perfect blend of tart acidity, peaches, and Lost Abbey funk. Simply delicious. This was an instant favorite for me. Light in body, this was highly drinkable. This certainly lived up to the hype and high expectations. I only hope that Tomme brews this again.

Bottle at the DC Lambic & Sour Tasting on April 14, 2012. Served in a Lost Abbey Teku. Huge thanks to Brad for bringing this one out.
Pours a cloudy yellow-golden color with a thin white head. Decent retention and a few spots of lacing as it goes down.
The nose carries a moderate amount of peaches with some backing acidity and general fruitiness. A bit of earthiness there as well. Mild Brett funk.
The flavor kicks it up a notch with a really deep peach flavor that could clearly only come from the fruit of a single tree. Even after all these years, it's quite clear that a mythical tree alone could have produced such wondrous fruit. Oops, I was wrong -- this tastes like yellow peaches. The kind you can buy at any farmers market. Probably not from a shitty grocery store, though. I'll give them that.
After wading through the peach mystery, I got some light funk and moderate-to-heavy acidity with average carbonation and a light body with a dry finish.
Overall, this was quite good. I didn't like it as much as the Isabelle we had beside it, though it was more-intensely fruity. Overall, quite good, though not quite a to-do-for creation.

So yesterday I had Time Warner Cable install digital phone for me since my no frills SBC landline was starting to cost more than a complete digital phone package.
Anyways, the installer tells me that now TWC has a rule that he can't install the digital phone unless the cable outlet and phone jack are within 6ft. They are actually only about 10 ft apart but on different walls and he won't budge. Long story short, I get him to install the new cable modem and just plug one phone directly into the cable modem. He then does some stuff outside to the phone box on my exterior wall and tells me that once I get a wall drop for bringing the two outlets together I can plug the jack into the cable modem and be set.
After he leaves, of course the first thing I do is plug a 10ft phone cord from the phone jack into the cable modem, but of course, it doesn't work. :(
I'm thinking there is something else that needs to be done outside but I have no clue. Can anyone help? I really don't think moving the phone jack 4ft closer is going to make a difference, but will it? TWC charges alot for the wall drops and even getting them to come out at all is like $30.

Directory Assistance
Procedures for calling for "Information"
All calls to telephone company or directory assistance phone services on campus are restricted for cost control reasons.
The University's administration has set a policy that all PBX phone calls to 411 are not allowed unless authorized by a UWG Telecomm Cost Center Manager.
Normally telephone number information is accessed by dialing 8 to get an outside line and then dialing 411. As of January 2005, a completed 411 call from a campus administrative phone generates a $2.10 charge on your departmental phone bill. If the call doesn't go through then a work order to the ITS Helpdesk with written approval of the Cost Center Manager will need to be issued to remove the 411 calling restriction.
If you know the area code of the person or business being called & the phone company there supports the 555-1212 "information" service, you can dial 8 + 1 + 3 digit area code + 555 1212. This will be charged on department's phone bills at $2.10 per call.
There are also some free web sites where you can look up phone numbers though note they may not be as complete and as up to date as BellSouth's 411 or other phone companies 555-1212 service. Some web sites you could try searching for phone numbers are:
- http://www.yellowpages.com/ AT&T white and business yellow page entries
- http://www.bigfoot.com/ and click on the "White Pages" or "Yellow Pages" links
- http://people.yahoo.com/
- http://superpages.gte.net/ for businesses and/or click on the "People Pages" tab
- http://files.georgia.gov/portal/site/DIR for State of Georgia phone numbers
- http://www.free411.com/ for an 800 number to call for directory assistance (note the call is free, but you will have to listen to a few advertisements)
Bellsouth also offers digital phone directories which may be placed on your desktop. Click here for more information.

What is anxiety and how is it treated?
Everyone feels worried or anxious sometimes, but if you often have uncontrollable worries about a lot of different issues, you could have an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders are now the most common mental health problem in Australia, affecting 14% of people. Although anyone can develop an anxiety disorder, women are more at risk than men.

Today, is Batman Day. Texas Comic Shop owner Tom Moore has been an avid comic book collector since he was six years old. DC Comics is known widely for its wide array of comics, movies, cartoons, and characters such as Superman and Wonder Woman. But, its defining character was that of the Dark Knight, which debuted in Detective Comics number twenty-seven. From Bob Kane to Frank Miller, Kevin Smith and Scott Snyder, and from Adam West to Ben Affleck, the character of Batman has endured through the generations and shows no signs of fading.

The Fair Labor Standards Act is a federal law, originally passed in 1938, but amended several times since then. The University was brought under coverage by the 1966 Amendments which became effective Feb. 1, 1967.
The Fair Labor Standards Act covers these broad areas:
- Minimum Wage
- Overtime Pay
- Equal Pay for Equal Work
- Child Labor
Who is Exempt?
There are complex regulations describing which employees can be exempt from the overtime pay requirement. At the University, these groups of employees are considered to be exempt:
- Faculty
- Administrative
- Teaching Assistants
- Graduate Research Assistants
- A few other specific groups (Farm, Aspen Grove, Outside Sales)
Who is Covered?
At the University, all full-time and part-time staff and all student hourly employees are covered by the law. What is explained from this point on refers to those employees, and not to exempt employees.
Minimum Wage
All personnel covered must earn at least the current Federal minimum wage. BYU minimum wage is generally higher.
Overtime Pay
The law provides that an employee who works over 40 hours in a workweek must be compensated at a time and one-half rate for hours worked in excess of 40.
The workweek at the University begins at 12:01 AM Saturday morning and ends at midnight the following Friday night. Overtime work is defined as work over 40 hours during this seven day period.
Approval Required
University policy requires that overtime work be approved in advance by the dean or director, except in emergency situations where prior approval is not possible.
Supervisor is Responsible
Supervisors are responsible to determine and to assign work schedules. Work outside of approved schedules should not be allowed, unless approval is obtained or an emergency exists. Any time worked must be compensated if it is known by the supervisor and is suffered or permitted to happen. Employees who work more or less than their assigned hours without approval may be subject to discipline. Contact Employee Relations, 422-3863, for assistance.
No Donating of Time
Employees may not donate extra time for which no compensation is expected. This is a violation of the law.
Each Week Stands Alone
Where it appears that an employee may exceed in a workweek the 40 hours allowed, time off may be provided in the same workweek in order to keep the total hours worked to 40 or less.
No Compensatory Time
The law does not allow overtime earned in one pay period to be carried over and compensated in a later pay period. Time worked must be compensated on a current up-to-date basis.
Time-off Plan
This plan allows that when overtime is worked in one week of a pay period, it may be compensated by time off in another week at a time and one half rate, if both weeks are in the same pay period. For example, an employee who works 44 hours in a week, could be required to work only 34 hours in the other week and receive regular pay for the pay period, if both weeks are in the same pay period. This plan cannot be extended beyond the pay period.
Vacation, Sick Leave, Holidays
Pay for vacation, sick leave, and holidays is not pay for hours worked; therefore, even though a staff member may be paid for such non-working time, no addition should be made to the total hours worked in the workweek for the purposes of computing overtime. The law does not require payment at a time and one half rate in a workweek where there are not over 40 hours of actual work performed.
However, the University has determined that when employees are called in for emergency work outside of normal working hours, departments may choose to pay a time and one half rate for those hours, regardless of the total hours worked during the week.
Attendance at Training Seminars & Conventions
- Required attendance at training activities is considered work time and must be appropriately compensated.
- Time spent outside of regular work hours in voluntarily attending and traveling to and from meetings, conventions, seminars, etc., is not considered as work hours and need not be compensated. It is sufficient to continue regular pay for the normal work schedule.
- Attendance is not voluntary if it is required by the employer or if the employee is led to believe that his or her present working conditions or the continuance of employment would be adversely affected by nonattendance.
- This provision applies only if the activity is not specifically designed to make the employee more effective in his or her present job, but rather is more focused on broadening experiences, preparing for future advancement, learning new ideas or additional skills, making networking acquaintances, etc.
Travel Time
- Ordinary home-to-work and work-to-home travel is not working time.
- Travel that is part of the employee's principal activity during the working day is work time.
- For one-day assignments in another city, most of the hours spent traveling and working are considered work time. Normal meal periods may be deducted, as well as the time usually spent getting from home to the normal work location and back.
- For travel that keeps an employee away from home overnight, the following rules apply:
- The travel time is work time when it cuts across the employee's workday.
- Travel time on the employee's non-working days which occurs during hours that correspond with his or her normal working hours is counted as time worked.
- Regular meal period time is not counted as time worked.
- Travel time away from home that occurs outside of regular working hours is not considered as work time.
- Periods when the employee is completely relieved of duty and is free to come and go and use the time as he or she pleases are not normally included as work time.
Breaks are not required by law, but are allowed by University policy (10 minutes in each 4 hour block). This time is included as time worked.
Meal time is excluded from hours worked if the meal period is 30 minutes or longer and the employee is relieved of all duties and allowed to leave the work station. The normal lunch break at the University is a one-hour period.
Record-Keeping Requirements
The law requires that the number of hours worked each day and each workweek be accurately recorded. Almost all non-exempt employees at the University record work time on KRONOS, an automatic time system connected directly with the payroll computer system.
Secondary Job at the University
A full-time staff employee who accepts a second job at BYU, with duties that are separate and unrelated to the primary employment, will be paid overtime based upon the second job's base rate that is in effect for the work as if it were being done during non-overtime hours. If the work of the second job is the same as that performed in the primary job, then the overtime pay will be based on the base rate the employee receives in the primary job. All of the hours worked on the second job will be considered as overtime and paid at a time and one half rate. Performance of a second job at BYU must be approved by both department supervisors and by Human Resource Services before commencement of the work.
Student Activities
- Time worked for which class credit is received need not be counted as time worked for which payment is due.
- In activities where class credit is not received, an employer/employee relationship need not be established if all six of these criteria apply:
- The activity is part of the school curriculum.
- The activity is for the benefit of the students.
- The students do not displace regular employees, but work under their close observation.
- The employer derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the students, and on occasion the operations may actually be impeded.
- The students are not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training or activities.
- The employer and the students understand that the students are not entitled to wages for the time spent.

Only those students fully admitted to a master's or doctoral degree-seeking program are eligible for a graduate assistantship. Students admitted as non-degree seeking or to a certificate program may not hold an assistantship.
Paying for college is a vital part of the education process! it is important to be informed of the many sources of aid available. Student loans are available to degree-seeking graduate students. Information on student loans can be found through the Office of Student Financial Aid. The Office of Student Financial Aid is located in Simmons Hall.
Current tuition and fees schedules can be found through the Office of Student Accounts.

EMKA boosts productivity and cuts cost with the HP Indigo 5600 Digital Press
"By doubling our
productivity, we have
increased our customers'
confidence in our capabilities
as a service provider."
— Ofir Adar
Chief Technical Officer
EMKA Group
EMKA wanted to increase productivity and lower production costs by moving offset jobs to a digital platform.
It needed to maintain its market lead with a diverse range of specialized printing solutions on varied substrates, and convince customers to move to digital printing.
The company also looked to create offset-quality PVC cards that met customers' high security standards.
• EMKA turned to the
HP Indigo 5600 Digital Press
and HP ElectroInk technology with HP Indigo One Shot Color printing mode and HP Indigo ElectroInk UV Red.
EMKA doubled its productivity and significantly reduced costs.
Because the HP Indigo 5600 Digital Press can print on both PVC and paper, one press is able to perform the work of two.
EMKA also raised customer confidence in digital presses, thanks to the HP Indigo 5600 Digital Press's consistent quality and efficiency.
EMKA expanded its offerings to include high-quality, high-security cards printed with invisible data using HP Indigo ElectroInk UV Red.

Bullying is serious
Yesterday my eight-year-old autistic son Alex was bullied at school (he was the subject of a Record-Eagle 1A story April 17, 2011).
He was pushed into a fence and onto the ground by two classmates. His shoes were taken from him and he was ordered by the bullies to perform various acts, such as jumping up and down, to get his shoes back. He was teased and humiliated.
As the parent of a special-needs child, words are insufficient to express my feelings of outrage and sadness.
But I feel blessed to express another emotion that is equally intense, and that emotion is gratitude.
First, to the student who witnessed this appalling event and hastily reported it to school staff.
Second, to the school staff at Courtade Elementary School. Principal Caroline Wacker immediately interviewed all involved and instantly informed my wife and me of all that was going on. Her response was prompt, professional and heartfelt.
Today Alex is in school and feeling safe.
Bullying is a serious issue and we are fortunate to have educators who work to put an end to bullying with a zero-tolerance approach.

If you consider the pen mightier than the sword, then you're extremely powerful. However, if you favor the sword, then perhaps you don't have all that much power after all. (Just like an editor, to bring a pen to a sword fight.)
In the hierarchy of the publishing biz, you really don't have much power at all. Your employer will be breathing down your neck as deadlines loom, and you won't have much leeway with them. And when it comes to your writers – the people you should have a certain amount of authority over – you'll find that they typically won't respond to your threats and entreaties. Because they're… writers. They kinda do their own thing.

Voter registration deadline nears
- Last Updated on 07:48 AM 09/25/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Anyone wishing to vote in the upcoming gubernatorial election has a little less than three weeks to register.
The deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 5 election is Tuesday, Oct. 15, according to Halifax County Registrar Judy Meeler.
On Nov. 5, Halifax County voters will cast ballots for Virginia governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as for the 60th District House of Delegates.
Also on the ballot are elections for Halifax County Board of Supervisors and Halifax County School Board in ED-2, ED-3 and ED-6, as well as elections in the towns of South Boston and Halifax.
Voters also will decide between two candidates for Halifax County Commonwealth's Attorney.
Halifax County Registrar Judy Meeler said Tuesday voters can go to the registrar's office in the Mary Bethune office complex in Halifax to cast absentee ballots in person Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Meeler also said her office would be open two Saturdays prior to the election to accommodate absentee voters, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.
Sept. 20 marked the beginning of the absentee voting process for Virginia voters.
In order to vote absentee, voters must be registered in Virginia and meet one of the eligibility requirements listed on the Virginia absentee ballot application.
For those who are not registered but are eligible for registration, when they register, a voter registration card will be mailed to them by Meeler's office after their application has been processed.
Eligible voters may cast their ballot by mail or in-person at the Halifax County Registrar's Office, and applicants must list a qualifying reason for voting absentee.
Absentee applications being mailed or faxed to the general registrar's office must be received no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Absentee applications may be completed in person at the general registrar's office no later than Saturday, Nov. 2.
Voters also can cast absentee ballots by mail, with the last day to mail out absentee ballots Oct. 29.
State law requires all voters to provide an acceptable form of identification at the polls, and those requirements also apply to absentee voters who vote in-person.
Acceptable forms of identification include Virginia voter registration card, valid Virginia driver's license, military ID, any federal, Virginia state or local government-issued ID, employer issued photo ID card, concealed handgun permit, valid student ID issued by any institution of higher education located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, current utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck indicating the name and the address of the voter or a Social Security card.
A voter who does not bring an acceptable ID to the polls will be offered a provisional ballot.
A voter who arrives at the polling place without an acceptable form of identification will be given the opportunity to vote a provisional ballot.
After completing the provisional ballot, the individual voting will be given written instructions from the election officials on how to submit a copy of his/her identification so that his/her vote can be counted.
A voter will have until noon the Friday following the election to deliver a copy of the identification to the local electoral board.
Voters may submit a copy of their ID via fax, email, in-person submission, or through USPS or Virginia residents can check their voter registration status by visiting www.sbe.virginia.gov and clicking on the "Check Voter Registration Status" like, by calling 800-552-9745 or 804-864-8901 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and speaking with staff and volunteers at the Virginia Board of Election Voter Registration Call Center or by calling their local registrar.
For more information about voter registration, voting by absentee ballot or for any other questions, call the Halifax County Registrar's Office at 476-3322.
On Nov. 5 Halifax County residents will cast votes for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, Virginia's 60th District House of Delegates and Halifax County Commonwealth's Attorney.
Republican Ken Cuccinelli, Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis are on the ballot for governor.
Running for lieutenant governor are Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican E. W. Jackson, and running for attorney general are Republican Mark Obenshain and Democrat Mark Herring.
Incumbent Republican James Edmunds II is vying with Democrat Jasper L. Hendricks III for the 60th District House of Delegates seat.
County residents will head to the polls to vote for Halifax County Commonwealth's Attorney, with interim commonwealth's attorney Mike Freshour and Tracy Quackenbush Martin running for that position.
Voters in ED-2, 3 and 6 will have an opportunity to vote for Halifax County Board of Supervisors and Halifax County School Board seats.
Current Supervisor Chairman Tom West is running unopposed in his re-election bid for the ED-2 post.
Incumbent trustee Karen Hopkins and challengers Lisa Hatcher and Ida Terry are running for the ED-2 school board seat.
In ED-3, Ray Owen, Arthur Reynolds Sr. and Earl Womack are running for the board of supervisors currently held by William Fitzgerald, who is not seeking a fourth term on the board.
School Board Chairman Kimberly Farson is running unopposed in her bid for re-election to a second term as the ED-3 representative.

In the Town of South Boston, Ed Owens, currently serving as interim mayor, is running for mayor, and Jim Debiec and Margaret Coleman are running for a seat on South Boston Town Council.
That seat was formerly held by Connie Manning and is currently held on an interim basis by former Councilman Morris Bryant.

So Buzz is sitting here, listening to "Life Without Christmas" by Giya Kancheli, this piece the Buffalo Philharmonic is playing at Carnegie Hall next week. It is this kind of haunting piece of music that Kancheli, who was born in 1935, recalls the cold and oppressive atmosphere of the Soviet Union, when religion was outlawed.
There is weird scoring. The piece includes an electric bass, and strings, and piano, and the taped voice of a boy soprano, and, most impressively, the rumble of Stalin's tanks and machinery.
That rumble sounds most realistic, Buzz thought, listening admiringly.
Then .... oh wait.
It was the construction equipment outside our window! They had a big weight and were boring a pole into the ground.
Wow, this sort of makes the piece complete! Can we record this rumble and add it to our performance at Carnegie Hall? Or, better still, bring along the actual equipment?
After all, as JoAnn Falletta said in Saturday's News: "We aren't taking just the Buffalo Philharmonic to Carnegie Hall ... we're taking Buffalo!"

New Evans High School Memorial Honors Fallen Vietnam Veterans
Sept 28, 2012 | WMFE - Orlando-area dignitaries were at Evans this morning for the unveiling and dedication ceremony for a new Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
[Image: Former Florida Congressman Dick Batchelor prepares to read the names of the fallen veterans honored on Evans High School's new memorial. For each name read, a family member stepped forward and received a folded flag from US Congressman Daniel Webster, left.]
The monument stands at the entrance to the school's stadium next to a statue of the school's mascot, a Trojan warrior. Orange County School District Superintendent Barbara Jenkins addressed a crowd heavy with Evans alumni and military families about the American soldiers killed in Vietnam.
"Twenty-three were Evans graduates," said Jenkins. "And so we've invited those families and friends of those 23 to be with us here today as we memorialize not only their history here at Evans High School where they were Trojans, but where they were Trojans on the battlefield in defense of our country and in defense of our freedom."
After the monument was unveiled, family members of the fallen vets were called forward by Former Democratic Florida Congressman Dick Batchelor (Evans class of '66), who led the fundraising effort for the project. They each received a folded flag once flown over Washington DC from Republican Florida US Congressman Dan Webster (Evans class of '67).
The memorial replaces the school's old one. It was built in the late 60s and had fallen into disrepair. The school campus itself is also brand new – the retooled Evans High opened earlier this year.

The road to the American League playoffs continues Monday night in Detroit where the Tigers begin a critical 4-game series against the New York Yankees.
ESPN will broadcast the series opener with the first pitch from Comerica Park scheduled for a little past 7:00 p.m. (ET). The starting pitching matchup is a marquee clash as the Yankees send Ivan Nova to the mound opposite Tigers ace Justin Verlander.
The Don Best Pro Odds shows Detroit as -175 chalk for Monday's contest, and the 8-run total slightly favors the 'over.'
Detroit continues to chase the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central, and the final 10-11 starts by Verlander this season will be crucial to the Tigers' chances of either winning the division or at least climbing into one of the two wild card slots. The Tigers are 13-9 behind their ace this season after dropping each of his last two assignments.
The most recent loss was in Boston this past Tuesday when rain cut his outing to just five innings, halting a string of 63 regular season starts in which Verlander worked at least six frames. The Tigers are 6-3 at home with Verlander on the mound, one of the losses coming in early June to the Yankees who scored five runs (3 earned) in his 6-1/3 innings.
Nova just experienced his worst start of the season when the Orioles scored nine times in his five innings of work this past Tuesday on their way to an 11-5 victory. The defeat was the third in Nova's four assignments since the all-star break. New York won just two of his six July starts while Nova's ERA jumped exactly half a run to 4.53.
Nova and Verlander met at Yankee Stadium in late April with the Tigers closing as $1.20 favorites. Neither pitcher was around for the decision which ultimately went to New York, 7-6. Verlander pitched six innings and allowed five runs (4 earned) while Nova last 5-1/3 innings and was charged with all six Detroit runs.
Detroit lost utility player Ryan Raburn to the disabled list this past week due to a sprained right thumb. New York isn't reporting any new injuries leading into this series.
The Yankees and Tigers have met six times previously this season, three in each park, with New York taking two of three games in each series. Two of the three games played in Detroit in early June stayed 'under' the total.

Quality Reporting is Not Free!
"I subscribed to HCN for a number of years, loved every issue...I stopped subscribing because my work load escalated. It was ok the first few months but after six months I was regretting the decision...the relevance of HCN did not diminish. I continued to look at the enticing titles of articles in the online newsletter but couldn't read enough to satisfy the craving. So I'm back. I also kicked in another 50 bucks as a personal reminder that quality reporting is not free."
Robert E. Hall, Washington D.C.
Sweet-talk from a loyal reader:
"I have been a loyal reader ever since the famous/infamous roadkill issue, years back. I just wanted to note that I regard HCN as the finest magazine I have ever read in my life and it keeps being so."
Tim Kingston, California
Carol Neuhoff is hooked on HCN!
"My brother gave me a gift subscription to your outstanding magazine last Christmas. It's a proud, surprising, eloquent, and pertinent tribute ... every single issue. Thank you for emphasizing the passion for the West over the mere politics. I'm hooked!"

Huntington Beach State Park(Murrells Inlet, SC) Huntington Beach State Park has been called the best birding site in the state and among the best on the entire east coast by naturalists and avid birders alike. The park features three miles of pristine, undeveloped beaches and diverse wildlife habitat that includes stone jetties, brackish ponds, coastal woods and miles of nature trails and pathways that allow for quality park staff-led or self-guided birding. Huntington Beach is a central site for the annual Tidelands Birding Festival, held in February.
Huntington Beach also features the Atalaya castle, the winter home of benefactor Archer Huntington (1870-1955) and his internationally recognized sculptor wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973). Archer used only his intimate knowledge of Moorish architecture along the Spanish Mediterranean coast in lieu of blueprints to build this unique dwelling more than 60 years ago. Huntington Beach State Park has also been named as Southern Livings Readers Choice Award winner on several ocassions.
Huntington Beach State Park (843-237-4440) is open from November through April.
Table Rock State Park(Pickens, SC) Table Rock State Park provides protection of and controlled access to some of the most scenic and rugged mountain terrain in the state. This alone makes Table Rock ideal for some of the most challenging hiking in the state of South Carolina.
The extensive hiking trail system at Table Rock State Park has been designated a National Historic Trail. The Table Rock Mountain Trail is 3.5 miles one-way, while the Pinnacle Mountain Trail is 3.4 miles one-way. Both of these trails go to the top of their respective mountains. The Pinnacle Ridge Trail (1.9 miles) connects these two trails. The less rugged Carrick Creek Loop Nature Trail is 1.9 miles in length. Table Rock is the eastern terminus of the Foothills Trail that connects to the parks trail system near the summit of Pinnacle Mountain.
The fourteen rustic cabins located in the park are always in high demand, filled almost every weekend throughout the year, even when the forecast predicts snow or bad weather. The same breathtaking mountain vistas provided by Table Rock also make the parks cabins very popular with visitors year-round. Table Rock State Park (864-878-9813) is open 7 a.m.- 9 p.m., November through April.
Hampton Plantation State Historic Site(McClellanville, SC) As a way to gain real perspective on South Carolina history and the events that shaped the state even to the present day, Hampton Plantation has long been recognized for its notable historical associations and architectural merit as a prime example of colonial plantation home. In addition, the French Huguenots who built Hampton Plantation indelibly imprinted their distinct culture on the region due to its early isolation from other settlers.
Hampton Plantation serves as history of South Carolina in microcosm. The adversities and obstacles these first settlers overcame, the roles played in shaping the early economy and politics of the colony and Republic are important sub-themes that provide insight into the story of South Carolina rice plantations and their people.
The names Serre, Huger, Horry, Pinckney and Rutledge are notable ones on the French Santee River and all are associated to some degree with Hampton Plantation. Some, like Daniel Horry and Daniel Huger were important people in their region while others like Eliza Lucas, Charles, Thomas and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, as well as John Rutledge, were of national importance.
Hampton Plantation State Historic Site (843-546-9361) is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday-Monday, November through April.

Floyd Central freshman Lydia Kotowski finished ninth at Saturday's Brown County Semistate to qualify for next Saturday's state meet in Terre Haute.
However, the Highlanders could not overcome Alyssa Moore's illness and finished seventh — just eight points behind the fifth and final state team, Evansville Memorial.
"Very proud of all our girls today," Floyd coach Carl Hook said. "Lydia ran an amazing race."
Another Highlander freshman, Madison Barney, was second for Floyd, finishing 28th in a personal-best 19:53.
Zoe Doebbler was 55th, Jamie Bierman 56th and Moore 61st for the Highlanders.
"It was a great season and we're blessed," Hook said. "I'm looking forward to taking Lydia to state next week."
Henryville junior Sadie Spears finished 20th overall, missing the individual cut by five spots. Her 19:31 was 15 seconds off of the time to beat to quality.
"She had a rough start, but she made up as many spots as she could," Henryville coach Brad Nifong said. "She's motivated for next season."
Columbus North won the girls' team championship behind champion Mackenzie Caldwell. whose winning time was 18:06, and runner-up Rachael Sollman.
Silver Creek finished eighth, led by Brittany Sharp's 24th-place finish. Jessica Backherms was 33rd and Maggie Shields crossed the line 36th.
"I'm very proud of the girls today," Dragons coach Darrell Kingery said. "We had not been rated very high in the polls and we wanted to earn some respect, and by beating all of the medium-sized schools from the south, I hope we earned a little of that respect."
New Albany finished 16th, led by two-time state finalist Phoebe Bauer, whose injury-plagued season came to an end in 42nd place.
In the boys' race, Silver Creek's Isaak Haas was the top local finisher in 40th place as the Dragons, who were hampered by a Jason Fruits' fall and subsequent injury, finished 13th.
"The race turned out to be a bummer for us," Kingery said. "We wanted to get the sixth spot, but that went away when Jason fell at about the two-mile mark."
Borden was the top-finishing local team in 12th, led again by freshman Julien Magallanes, who was 45th. Floyd Central was 15th with Grant Reynolds leading the way in 50th.
Defending state champion Columbus North won the team title, giving the Bull Dogs a sweep for the day.

RALEIGH — About 45 minutes into his marathon Wednesday night show, Justin Timberlake paused to take a breath and speak to the audience.
After telling the capacity crowd it was the loudest of the tour (something he probably says every night), Timberlake noted the late N.C. State basketball coach Jim Valvanos name in the PNC Arena rafters and saluted Jimmy V as one of the greatest of all time.
Its great to be here in North Cackalacky! crowed the Tennessee native, and the crowd roared. In Timberlakes world, you see, everything is great, even showbiz tropes.
Way back in July 2000, a 19-year-old Timberlake performed here at this same building when it was known as the Raleigh Entertainment & Sports Arena, as part of the enormously popular boy band *NSYNC. Thirteen years later, *NSYNC is long gone (Bye, Bye, Bye). But Timberlake remains as popular as ever as a solo act, in which capacity he has apparently set his sights on world domination.
Wednesday nights show clocked in at close to three hours and more than 30 songs mostly originals, but also a few covers. Some of the cover choices revealed the scope of Timberlakes ambitions, with songs by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Jay-Z.
This is supposed to be the tour that confirms Timberlakes place in that pantheon of all-time greats, a high-tech, big-band extravaganza melding old-school showmanship with all the modern gadgetry of contemporary superstar performance. Imagine the late Cab Calloway returning from beyond the grave to saddle up a barrage of lasers and go hip-hop. Lasers stabbed and throbbed, and platforms went up and down and back and forth, as the star and his backup minions performed all over the floor of the arena.
Timberlake himself sang and danced and played (and the dancing was especially spectacular), ending the show on his knees before rising to take a bow. But most of all, he wooed. Timberlake is an immensely likable performer, and he went out of his way to be ingratiating. Wednesdays show featured plenty of local references, including a toast he drank to the beautiful state of North Carolina and a bit of Petey Pablos Tar Heel anthem Raise Up.
Sonically, however, the show was a bit of a mess, as Timberlakes to-die-for falsetto was mostly lost in the muddy roar of a terrible sound mix (as bad as Ive ever heard in PNC Arena). It took a half-dozen songs and the beginning of My Love, which started with just keyboards and Timberlakes singing, to finally get a bead on his voice.
Sound aside, the show was good. Very, very good. Great? Only intermittently.
As likable as Timberlakes onstage persona is, its undeniable that none of his songs are as memorable as his charismatic combination of cool and regular-guy accessibility. The flashes of edge he showed the occasional crotch-grab and profanity, and fleeting glimpses of video-screen nudity during Tunnel Vision seemed a bit forced.
Dude sure can sing, though. While its hard to imagine anything cornier than covering Presleys Heartbreak Hotel straight-up in 2013, Timberlake was great on that one. A few songs later, his version of Jacksons Human Nature was even better, structured as a semi-medley with Timberlakes own What Goes Around Comes Around.
But heres the thing: It was impossible not to notice how much better Jacksons song was. Yes, living up to Michael Jackson would be a tall order for any living mortal to pull off. Its also the task that Timberlake seems to have set for himself.
Maybe hell get there someday.
