As far as flavored wheat beers go this one was almost too good. Long Trail has definitely nailed this recipe. Very good as a post skiing or hiking beer, or even for after eating. I suggest it be served around 40 degrees. It seems to be as good out of the tap/ in a glass as it is in a bottle, so don't worry about that, but make sure you haven't had a dark beer before this (it diminishes the taste). Really one of the better flavored beers I've ever had and 100% worth taking sip of if you're just coming from a fun outdoor sport

This is a beer to drink when you're really hot and thirsty, and you don't really care what it tastes like. It's a clear yellow color with a small head. Aroma is minimal, some malt and wheat. It had a sweet, fruity taste, was also a little bit bread-like. Nothing very exciting, and not a particularly good example of a fruit beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body was a clear pale yellow color with a thin white head. Its head just covered the body and left only minimal lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma had a pleasant bouquet of sweet wild berries with some notes of grain and wheat malts.
Taste/Mouth feel: It has a semi-sweet blackberry flavor up front that is held in check buy the twang of the wheat. These two flavors are balanced nicely and work very well together. Hop flavor is very mild offering only a very slight herbal flavor and almost no bitterness. The taste thins towards the finish, which is crisp and slightly dry. Its body is light with a crisp refreshing texture and an average to fizzy carbonation.
Notes: This beer has a nice solid flavor with an easy to drink body that makes for a nice hot weather refresher.

Pours a pale golden with lots of soda-like carbonation. Head comes and goes like a Budweiser. Smells of berries and skunk, not much else.
Taste is of berries again, and maybe a hint of malt. Not much else to speak of. Very watery mouthfeel with tons of big bubble carbonation, like soda, as previously stated. It is very crisp I guess and maybe would be okay on an extremely hot day. But that's what pale ales are for.
I only tried this because my girlfriend bought it and is into fruity beers. Not my cup of tea. Actually, she was dissapointed as well.

12 oz brown bottle with "Bottled On" freshness date.
A- Crystal clear pale yellow color, thin white lace. Very light in color ...
S- Sweet-tart berry aroma, hint of beery grain as well.
T&M- Light bodied and semi-dry, crisp with a grain front. Twang of wheat goes well with the berry flavor. Faint malt show off its only beer quality ... ghost like hops barely are seen.
D- A great hot weather quencher, that is about it.

This is definitely among my top favorite fruit beers, mostly because the blackberry taste is distinct but not overwhelming. I think blackberry is a unique flavor for a fruit beer which makes this brew all the more tasty!
It pours a translucent golden color with a white foamy head. It smells of blackberries, like the taste, strong but not overwhelming. The flavor is both sweet and mildly tart. The initial taste is blackberries followed by a wheat beer flavor but the blackberry taste lingers.
It feels slightly carbonated in your mouth, typical of a wheat beer. This beer is very drinkable, like most fruit beers it goes down easily and is gone before you realize it. Refreshing during a hot summer day, it's a must-have summer brew if you enjoy fruit beer varieties.

12 ounce bottle without freshness dating given. Pours clear, very light amber, near white, minimal head, that quickly departs, leaving no trace of lacing. Nose is just a hint of powdered sugar. This is a light liguid, with a trace of beer like qualities, including some faint notes of fruity berries. Pricey, slightly fruity, lawn mower beer....

I'm not a huge fan of fruity beers, but this is definitely one of the more drinkable ones I have tried. The fruit taste isn't too overpowering, and the aftertaste isn't too heavy. It's a shame that many people only visit Vermont in Ski season and miss out on this one.

Appearance: clear, straw gold in color, medium carbonation, no head
Smell: blackberries and wheat
Taste: wheat, grass, and a big dose of blackberries towards the end towards the end.
Mouthfeel: medium/light bodied, high carbonation, crisp
Drinkability: A nice light lager with a good, but not overpowering taste. Not the most complex beer. A summer treat and a favorite from Long Trail. This is an excellent camping beer that I could have six of in the summer and a couple in other seasons.

I loved the aroma on this beer. Don't be misled, though. Very little blackberry flavor is evident. It poured a clear golden color and was very clean. This is a beer I could drink for hours during the summertime. Very light and refreshing. Perfect for a hot summer day.
The label is pretty humorous, too.
Like I said in my review of the brewery, I wish we could get this beer in Virginia.

poured into a large bowled wheat glass from a 12oz brown long necked bottle with a crimped on cap.Liked the Ma and Pa bears on the label,recieved this on a trade from Sudsdog.
Clear,straw/light golden color 2" thick fluffy white head,dissapating a bit quick leaving a coating of foam.Very livey carbination many constiant streams of tiny bubbles getting larger as they race to the surface.
Clean fresh aromas slightly tart,subtle yeast aromas American wheat yeast i would guess.Bisquity,slightly doughy.A good moderate blackberry aroma,pleasing not overbearing.
Clean with fruity tartness a pleasing blackberry taste,not overdone.I seem to get a lot of hints of melon like tastes.No real wheat beer character more like a flavored lager. Tastes about the same throughout finishes like it starts.
Light airy mouthfeel,crisp,pleasing. Refreshing beer great for a hot summer day. Got to drink this out on the deck today. A good beer for the ladies my sis-in-law wheatgirl would enjoy this beer.

I remember drinking this beer when I was first getting into craft beer. I would have given it an A+, I just thought it was so great, a pretty hearty beer (as compared to BMC) with an awesome fruity kick to it.
However, as I've starting having more and more craft beer, including a lot of fruit beer, I really have to say I'm quite disappointed now, it's my least favorite in the variety packs.
It's a pretty clear yellow color with no head, it does have a great wheat & Blackberry aroma to it which is very appealing, and the taste seems almost watered down compared to say one of Dogfish Heads fruit beers. However on a hot summer day or when you're moving it's a great beer.

12oz bottle pulled from my fridge served into a standard pint glass. bottled on 07/29/10.
pours a rather watery looking, very clear, pale straw yellow color with about a one finger of white head. faded quickly to a ring, then eventually to nothing, poor retention. hardly any lace. looks somewhat similar to a macro.
not a huge aroma. whiffs of medicinal black berry, and very faint wheat and grains. nothing offensive however, which most fruit wheat beers cant say.
a light taste as well. some light tart blackberry blends nicely with some grains and wheat.
light body, carbonation, although fizzy, is still fine and feels nice. a touch watery at times.
very nice drinkability, great for hot summer days. i would buy this again, im just in no hurry. this would be a nice beer for women or people just making the switch from macro to craft.

Very light all around. Light color, light aroma, light flavor. Color was as if someone put a drip of yellow egg coloring liquid into tap water. Head was low and white and left the scene quickly. Aroma was of blackberry, but nothing else. Flavor was of light, sweet blackberry, but nothing else. Wouldn't even have guessed that it was a wheat. No malt or hop profile. Watery mouthfeel, a bit of fizzy carbonation. Disappointing selection.

Let me just say up front that I am a big fan of Long Trail ales, but this is a dog going down the wrong path. The beer looks and smells as if you took some blackberry flavoring and dumped it in a bud, miller lite, etc...
The taste is unremarkable at best. The berry quickly leaves and there is no discernable wheat texture or taste. Mouthfeel is akin to tap water.
There are some really good fruit ales out there, this isn't one of them.

Long Trail's Blackbeary Wheat pours a clear golden color (and I do mean clear. I almost thought of a glass of purified water). The head is moderate and lasts for only a short time. The smell is faintly of fruity blackbeary's, not much else. The taste is weak, being only a slight blackbeary flavoring. The mouhfeel is weak, watery, thin. I am a bit bummed about this brew, I had higher expectations. This is not a beer I can recommend, it tastes like an artificialy flavored bud (however, do not let this offering from Long Trail stop you from giving their Double Bag a try. Now that is a fine and tasty brew).

Wednesday's heavy rainfall is enough to get farmer's cautiously optimistic and if the weather predictions for the next month are true the future of the region's farmers could be more secure.
That is the hope of Local Land Services manager of biosecurity and emergency services Bruce Watt.
"Sometimes a big dump of rain by itself can be detrimental and wreck any dry feed," he said.
"It can be counter productive, but the heavy fall we had over that four-day period and then this lot gives every reason to be hopeful."
He said after a drenching, ideally producers needed another good fall and that was what was delivered yesterday.
Yesterday by 5pm Orange had 26.6 millimetres at Orange Airport according to Weatherzone.
Orange had 40 millimetres last Sunday and 11 on Saturday.
Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said yesterday's rain would be all for the next week but a break could be expected towards the end of summer.
"The [radar] is marking a bit of a turn for the season coming into the end of summer which is set to be much more humid," he said.
More humid meant more rain and more storm activity, he said.
"But be careful because the storms have the potential to be severe and produce flash flooding and damaging winds."
Mr Domensino said the area had experienced unusually low rainfalls in 2014 because there had been an inactive monsoon season but as a low pressure system was starting to make its way south the area should experience "a lot more rainfall".
Mr Watt said the predictions could be almost perfect for the region's producers.
"We're not out of the woods yet ... but [the rain] is wonderful and it's not too late."

Penn State looks to build off its dominant win Saturday over Iowa, and they'll have a chance to big up an even bigger win this Saturday when the undefeated Buckeyes come into Happy Valley. So, as always, we reached out to the foremost authority on the Lions' opposition, and our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land are just that. Thanks to Luke Zimmerman for lending a helping hand in enlightening us about the Big Ten's standard bearers.
So thanks a ton, Luke, and remember to check out LGHL all season long to stay up to date on Ohio State, and be sure to check out what I had to say when they put me on the hot seat.
On to the questions!
Black Shoe Diaries: Obviously, the hiring of Urban Meyer was a huge deal for Ohio State, and in just one year, he's got the Buckeyes back to the top of the Big Ten standings after--gasp!--one down year. How has he put his stamp on this team in getting them to 8-0?
Land-Grant Holy Land: Meyer's first act was the absurd resurrection job he put on what was a decent but sub-Ohio State historical standard recruiting class that ultimately he had finish in many top 5's nationally. From there, he started orienting his new assistants and players within the finer points of the driving day-to-day philosophies of his football program and from there it begin to permeate to the fan base. There's certainly been some bumps along the way, but cheering for a team capable of scoring 50+ in multiple weeks as well as run entire series strictly out of the no-huddle with a balance of run option and sophisticated passing routes is a sight for sore eyes for folks that spent a decade plus under the tyrannical rule of the mad walrus king, Jim Bollman.
BSD: Like Penn State, the Buckeyes are bowl ineligible--though unlike Penn State, Ohio State would otherwise have the inside track to a BCS berth. Without that possibility, what are the goals for this season for Ohio State?
LGHL: Braxton Miller not spending 2013 in a wheel chair. No, in all seriousness, winning out would be a rather Ohio f-you to an establishment that probably doesn't care if the Buckeyes are unbeaten or not. While unless there were two SEC/Big 12 teams also unbeaten there's probably not any the Buckeyes would be left out of the national title picture, this particular group has navigated a less than rigorous schedule. And while I don't think this takes away from the fact that Ohio State fans will never forgive Gene Smith for costing them a potential berth in a BCS bowl (much less the national championship game), I think they still understand this none the less.
When you joined us for our Five Minutes in the Holy Land, you mentioned that no one gives a damn about winning a division title. Pretty much my sentiments exactly (though the contrarian in me would be quick to point out to myself that you have to win the division before you can win the conference before you can win it all, not that either teams are in any position to do so this season). That being said, something tells me the athletic department will print ridiculous t-shirts you might be able to find in a Columbus Goodwill in about 5-10 years if it winds up happening.
BSD: Ohio State's been somewhat schizophrenic this year. You guys beat up on a good Nebraska team, and struggled with mediocre teams like Purdue, Indiana, and Michigan State. Which is more indicative of the Buckeyes' true talent level, the 63-38 beatdown of the Huskers or the OT squeaker of last Saturday?
LGHL: I think the Nebraska game is the perfect example of the Buckeyes firing on all cylinders. That was also sort of a soft "38" to allow, and what I mean by that is that a lot of the points were contextually diminished in importance. The defense was in its pre-M*A*S*H unit states but had expended a lot of effort bearing down on Taylor Martinez and Rex Burkhead earlier in that one. They weren't garbage points by any means, and they probably still say a lot about how this incarnation of Buckeye defense has looked the majority of the season, but they also weren't damning.
I also wouldn't use "struggled" against Indiana and Michigan State. I get that Sparty has four losses but how many teams in the country have as many good losses outside of maybe Louisiana-Monroe? I know it sounds ridiculous, but I still think that Spartans defense is potentially the best in the conference. That game was an out and out war that really either team could've taken.
Also, Ohio State was never not in control against Indiana. Sure, there was a storm of late points, but even more so than Nebraska, the defense was exhausted and paper thin depth wise. Some of those points were apathy/prevent scores more than anything.
And Purdue probably deserves its own classification all together. The Buckeyes defense (aside from completely shitting the bed on the opening sequence in a cover LOL situation that matched up middle linebacker Storm Klein against a running back), played a pretty solid game for the most part. Sure, they struggled with the long play at times (which I guess tackling woes/being out of position/etc account for more so than anything), but it was probably their most consistent effort since that tough Michigan State win. Where Ohio State really did fail across the board was offensively. Until that final drive under the watchful guise of alto sax superhero Kenny G, the offense was broken basically all afternoon. The prospects of another showing like that freaks me out more than anything the defense could possibly do.
BSD: Braxton Miller's had a tremendous season, but he may not be at 100% this week. From an outsider, it seems like Ohio State doesn't have too many weapons, and that it's pretty much all Braxton, all the time. How might his injury change what the Buckeyes look to do offensively, and who would have to pick up the slack for the offense to succeed?
LGHL: I definitely wouldn't say that. Outside of Braxton Miller, Ohio State may not have any other potential Heisman candidates on their offense, but Carlos Hyde, Jake Stoneburner, Corey Brown (who's battling through injury in his own right), and Devin Smith are as good as any skill position guys in the league. Jeff Heuerman can make plays at the tight end position too, as he proved with last week's game tying two point conversion. And while none of those guys (outside of Brown) are probably capable of consistently generating daunting GIFable touchdowns like Miller, they're all NFL caliber talents.
It bears mentioning that Kenny Guiton has been a pretty near perfect game manager in the stints he's had to fill in for a dinged up, battered, and bruised Braxton Miller. He's not a quarterback of Miller's pedigree by any stretch of the imagination, but I (and most Ohio State fans) wouldn't lose any sleep over the prospects of having to turn to him to engineer the locomotive if Braxton is still sore/unable to go. He's not going to teleport all around the field and make you swear he's using cheat codes like Miller, but he's still athletic enough to run the offense and put Ohio State in position to score touchdowns (which is this thing we do now instead of kicking field goals; it's all and all very confusing for us still).
If senior Jordan Hall was also back from injury (which has been a lingering issue for him all season), I'd feel even more confident about Ohio State's wealth of weapons, but I think the mix of Hyde and redshirt sophomore Rod Smith in the back field and Ohio State's totally capable wide receiving corp and Guiton would more than suffice, even against a defense of Penn State's caliber.
BSD: Defensively, it seems like Ohio State's missing a lot of key pieces. I know Zach Boren's basically being forced to learn how to play linebacker on the fly, and the secondary's been pretty well maligned. Tell me why, as a Penn State fan, I can't be positively giddy about the idea of our tight end-heavy offense matching up against this Buckeye D.
LGHL: I don't know Penn State's second and third tight ends as well as you, but given how he's fared in his first two weeks at the position, I actually feel pretty okay about the idea of Zach Boren marking them in man coverage situations. If the name Storm Klein comes up, that confidence instantly decreases exponentially. It's worth pointing out though that Klein had his best game of the season against Michigan State, who's also known to work in a tight end or two on the regular, for whatever that's worth.
If McGloin can work an effective dink and dunk offense replete with plenty of screen passes and what not, I think Penn State can get some momentum going. I don't know that I'd go as far to say that Penn State has anyone who can break the big plays the way Shane Wynn of Indiana or Brendan Bigelow from Cal did, but I do think they can have some success offensively. All in all, I'd be surprised if Penn State scored less than 3 touchdowns, but I'd sort of also be surprised if they scored more than 4 if that makes any sense.
If you want something to feel good about? Well, if McGloin's deep ball is working for him, the secondary can be had. The corners are pretty solid overall, but the safeties are fairly high risk-high reward with a wide open landing strip for opposing receivers at times.
BSD: Prediction time! Do Ohio State's chances of winning this game really rest on whether Braxton Miller can play, or could the Buckeyes conceivable find a way to win in Happy Valley without their do-everything quarterback?
LGHL: I don't think it comes down to Miller at all, to be perfectly honest. I agree with the median opinion taken by the sports books: this is basically a coin toss. I think the two teams are really evenly matched in terms of where they're at and how they're executing right now. I still think Ohio State is the more "talented" team if all other things are equal, but they're not, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that everyone on the Ohio State defense was dead all along.
If you made me pick right this second (and it sounds like you are), I'll say Penn State 24-21. But I could also just as easily say Ohio State 28 - Penn State 24. The one situation I don't see happening is Penn State blowing the Buckeyes out, but stranger things have happened. Who knows, maybe this game could be just that.
Thanks again, Luke, and remember to read Land-Grant Holy Land all season long.

Department store chain Bloomingdale's has introduced three-inch plastic tags that attach to visible spots on a dress that cost $150 or more in an effort to crack down on return fraud.
Once the so-called b-tag is removed, the dress is non-returnable.
The move is in a effort to stop 'wardrobing,' a term used to refer to shoppers who return worn items.
Retailers lost an estimated $8.8 billion last year to 'wardrobing,' and other return fraud, according to the National Retail Federation.
According to a 2012 survey, wardrobing – the return of used, non-defective merchandise like special occasion apparel and certain electronics – is a huge issue, with nearly two-thirds (64.9%) saying they have been victims of this activity within the last year.
On its site, Bloomindale's writes: "Certain dresses will be delivered with a Bloomingdale's b-tag attached. Once the b-tag is removed, merchandise cannot be returned. To determine whether a dress you would like to purchase will be tagged, go to the product page and review the details tab below the image. If an item is going to be tagged, we will alert you there."
The upscale retailer says it will not accept return of merchandise that has been worn, washed, damage, used or altered.

Well listed a set of cultivators on Craigslist for $350. Several days no calls Guy called offered me $300 and drive from South Carolina to get them so I sold them. Day after guy calls up tells me he'd pay more if I cut the other guy out that basically I was a fool for taking less than that. I have never had much luck selling cub cultivators for more than $350. I know the sum of parts is worth more than whole and after the deal I'm looking at the pics thinking that's a heck of a lot of good parts for $300. What are people selling bare universal frames for these days? Toolbars? And feet? Clamps seem to be around $20 bucks for good ones and more on eBay. Am I off on my pricing?
I went this last weekend and looked at a massive ton of cub parts the guy wanted to sell as a lot. Most of it was just toolbars and lift springs with a few feet and clamps mixed in. The junker in me wanted to have it all and organize in in nice piles but the realistic me said there is no market for that stuff. He had no lift frames and I couldn't go buy lift frames to make full sets of cultivators to sell and ever come out.
As some know I had a ton of cultivators at one time sold 13 partial sets to Don E. in Texas. Then I didn't have enough feet or clamps or springs to complete them and buying the parts then put me more in them than I could get out of them. I keep hearing people talk about all this big money cultivators are bringing down south but I have yet to see much demand here.

Results Personal Training enlists certified male and female trainers to piece together personalized fitness and nutrition plans that target time-specific fitness goals and allow for anytime onsite access. When paired with a client, each trainer crafts a program geared toward desired results—such as muscle gain or weight loss—and an ultimate end date, which can correspond with upcoming weddings or long-awaited preschool reunions. One-hour workout sessions then draw on an armory of free weights and Pilates balls to activate different muscle groups and prevent bodies from adapting to the routine. With trainers always on standby, clients can walk in on the hour to start a training program without an appointment and report to the center an unlimited number of times per week.
Before each patron's first workout, an on-staff nutritionist outlines a healthy meal plan customized to his or her needs.

Clients can visit their nutritionists at any point during their membership, and weekly analyses of their progress ensure that they are staying well on track to meet their health objectives.
Thomas Volmer credits his wife, Rachel, for inspiring them to start helming boot camps. She wasn't always a fitness guru, though. "She was a commercial banker and she was 70 pounds overweight," Volmer recalls. Once she started to reclaim her life, "she just fell in love with fitness," he says. She eventually dropped 80 pounds with proper exercise and nutrition, spurring her to earn her AFAA personal training certification and pursue a career as a full-time trainer.
Personal experience lends Rachel and the other trainers—including Sharon Monk, who lost more than 200 pounds by exercising and eating healthily—empathy and a motivating demeanor when working with campers. At each location, they get groups doing pushups, swinging kettlebells, and flipping tires in a positive environment that's focused on teamwork, rather than competition. "You start as a group, you finish as a group," says Thomas. "But the activities that you do in between might be different based on your abilities."
In addition to leading sessions, Rachel creates easy-to-use online meal plans (including a vegetarian plan), which campers can customize to help them stay on track. Options range from the simple, such as cereal with fruits, nuts, and flaxseeds, to the creative, including honey-sweetened oatmeal peanut-butter cookies. She also includes the calorie count for each recipe. Users can pick from simple meals made for one person or larger entrees designed with an entire family or pet elephant in mind.
Although Stewart Yaros has performed with numerous elite companies, including the Boston Ballet and the Basel Ballet in Switzerland, his true passion is teaching dance. Teaching allowed the University of Massachusetts and Martha Mahr School of Ballet alumnus to combine his finely honed dance expertise and his zeal for communicating with others via the "common language" of dance in particular and the arts in general.
That theme of unity and togetherness dates back to the early days of Dance International, circa 1991, when the now bustling center for dance tutoring consisted of three students, their devoted teacher, and an old player piano that played Chopsticks. Today, the organization has swelled into a hub for upbeat, accessible instruction from professional-level teachers and is well-known for organizing the Austin Ballroom Festival.
Part of the guiding vision for Dance International is a focus on community service, as well as promoting the arts by introducing music and visual forms into the dance milieu. True to its multidisciplinary ambitions, the Dance International empire recently achieved 501(c)3 national nonprofit status and will soon add art and music classes.

Judge criticized over work-hours Web posts on fantasy game message boards says he will scale back
Posted Dec 4, 2013 6:24 PM CDT
By Stephanie Francis Ward
Some know him as Judge Clark Allen Peterson, but to others he's Orcus, Lord of the Undead.
A magistrate in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Peterson reportedly posted numerous comments on Paizo.com, an online hobby retail site that includes message boards, where gamers like Peterson discuss a variety of things. According to the Spokesman-Review, the jurist posted his own name in the comments, along with his avatar "Orcus," described as a large demon with horns, wings and a beard.
After the Spokesman-Review contacted Peterson, the article reports, he got rid of Orcus as an avatar, and announced that he will stop posting during business hours.
"Without a doubt, my judicial duties are my priority. I'm a single dad; that is my priority," said Peterson, who won a retention election in 2012. "These other activities are additional that I wouldn't undertake if I didn't have the time to do them. I mean, you can't be a single dad and a judge and have things interfering. It just wouldn't work."
Peterson is also a co-founder of Necromancer Games and Legendary Games, the article states. He's listed as a co-designer on 17 game products sold on Legendary's website. Peterson told the newspaper that he does not have a business interest in Legendary or give the company legal advice. He also stated that he gets a very small amount of income from Necromancer.
The Spokesman-Review mentions concerns from two people who appeared in front of Peterson, and both say they plan to file complaints about him with the Idaho Judicial Council.
"We don't know if he's demon lord in the courtroom or if he's Judge Peterson in the courtroom," Michael Tyner, whose mother's probate case was in front of Peterson, told the paper. Tyner contested his mother's will, lost, and filed a motion for new trial, arguing that Peterson took too long to rule. The ruling is now on appeal.
According to the Spokesman-Review, Tyner's lawyer, John Whelan, noted that Peterson had filed for bankruptcy, divorce and had a child custody issue while considering Tyner's case. However, in his ruling denying Tyner's motion for new trial, Peterson wrote that the delay was in large part due to the actions of Tyner's lawyer.
Another litigant, who had a family law matter heard by Peterson, said that the judge showed up an hour late for a 9 a.m. hearing. According to the article, Peterson had made a Pazio message board post that day at 8:55 a.m.
"I regret if anyone viewed my postings regarding one of my hobbies as not being up to the standards of the Idaho Judiciary," Peterson wrote in an email to the Spokesman-Review. "I continue to believe that my hobby activity does not violate any of the canons of judicial conduct, but the perception of the public and the litigants who appear before me is of paramount importance to me."
Judicial branch employees can use state-owned computers for personal use on their personal time, the article states, providing that the usage does not include political or commercial purposes. It also mentions the Idaho Code of Judicial Conduct, which states that judges should "avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in activities."

Will redistricting elementary schools be necessary?
With 961 students enrolled last month, Lewis and Clark Elementary School in Caroline County is nearing capacity.
So the school board is looking into whether they need to adjust attendance zones at the elementary schools over the next year.
At Monday's School Board meeting, Assistant Superintendent Eric Cunningham said monthly discussions will begin in October.
There will be a presentation to the school board in March, followed by two public forums at Madison and Lewis and Clark elementary schools, he said. A final decision is expected to be voted on in May.
Some of the guidelines used when revising atendance zones include:
- using primary roads and natural landmarks as zone dividers
- considering travel time students spend on the school bus
- attempt to maintain subdivision within one school zone
- minimize movement of students in areas that were moved inthe last rezoning process
- and giving rising ffth graders the option of remaining at their current school after rezoning
School Board member Wendell Sims said thinking about redistricting now is a good idea because he does expect the county to grow and would rather not have to increase classroom sizes.
In other school news, the School Board voted to increase the price of school lunch next school year.
The price for breakfast will increase by 10 cents at the elementary schools to $1.10 and by five cents at the middle and high schoos to $1.15. The price for lunch will increase by 20 cents at all schools to $1.80 at the elementary schools and $2.05 at the middle and high schools.
After the increase, Caroline County schools will still have one of the cheapest school lunch prices in the area. Essex County has the cheapest.

An East Texas man known as a champion for veteran issues has passed away. Vietnam veteran William Perkins of Longview is remembered as the ultimate patriot. Flags at the VFW 1183 fly at half staff remembering the man who everyone knew as 'Perk'.
"I've been knowing Perk since 1958. William was the type of person , he was a father figure to a lot of men. When he was in Vietnam , he was a father figure to a lot of the kids over there. Veterans would tell him a hard luck story and he would reach into his pocket and give them 100, 200 dollars," says fellow Vietnam veteran and longtime friend Don Kinsey.
Perkins died last night after a battle with cancer. But leaves behind a memory no one will forget.
"He had a presence about him. He would come up to you and let you know that he was your brother, and that you were welcome and you had a home," says fellow Vietnam veteran Marvin Ray Gibson.
Perkins established VFW post 1183 in Longview, and never turned is back on a veteran. He helped start and commanded the Vietnam veterans of America 987 chapter and was a tireless worker for veterans issues. Perkins called all Vietnam veterans brothers.
"When he said brother, you were his brother. He spoke from the heart," says Kinsey.
He said to others, he left part of himself in Vietnam. And never forgot to help those who suffered the same.
"A lot of us are still there we haven't come home yet. He was struggling everyday to come back. Anybody he could , he would help. There's a lot of soldiers left on the battlefield that were fondly brothers to him and he still remembers them," Gibson says.
Perkins was 68.
"I can't put it into words how much I'm going to miss him," Kinsey says.
A funeral service for William Perkins is set for Monday in Longview at Grace Hill cemetery at 10 am.
