When Sheryl Crow embarked on her Wildflower tour in October, the new songs from her album of the same name weren't the only debuts on the road; the DL.2 from High End Systems was also making a splash as the tour crisscrossed the US and ended in the UK in December, with lighting designed by Paul Guthrie. The LD drew his inspiration from modern architecture for this tour, and he chose Element Labs Versa Tube™ because it reminded him of Keith Sonnier's neon sculpture at the Caltrans District 7 building in Los Angeles. "We looked at many different materials for the screens and riser fascia before choosing the aluminum coil drapes from Cascade Coil to give us a simple but mod look," he says.
As with many — or some would say, most — concert tours, time was not on Guthrie's side. "We only had four weeks once the final designs were approved to gather the elements, build the entire set, and produce the video content," he explains. "I got support from a lot of suppliers which helped us meet the deadline." PRG supplied the lighting, and XL Video supplied the video.

Jeff WingerComments22
this wiki
Redirected from Jeff
|Jeffrey Tobias "Jeff" Winger (played by Joel McHale) was once a practicing attorney from Denver, Colorado. His father is William Winger who divorced his mother Doreen Winger née Fitzgerald when he was very young. William later had another child named Willy Jr. who is Jeff's half-brother. Jeff was a very successful defense attorney specializing in DUI/DWAI/DUID cases, traffic offenses, and juvenile crimes for over six years. He worked for a law firm called Hamish, Hamish & Hamlin that was founded by Ted. At work he was often partnered with a lawyer named Mark and the two were known as "Tango & Cash" respectively. A drunk driving case Jeff handled involved a Psychology Professor named Ian Duncan with whom he eventually became good friends with. At the height of his success at the firm, Jeff's fraudulent academic credentials were exposed by a colleague of his named Alan Conner. Jeff was immediately disbarred with his license suspended until he earned a legitimate degree. For four years he went to Greendale Community College with this goal in mind. During this time he became close friends with a study group he formed. After having earned an Associates degree in Education, he briefly returned to practicing law and unsuccessfully started his own law firm. After it folded, he returned to Greendale where he accepted a job as a Law professor. He was also reunited with his study group and joined a special committee to "save" the school.
|I'm no sociopath. I always know what I'm doing is wrong. I'm just a guy that doesn't like taking tests, doing work, and getting yelled at. So if you think about it, I'm the sanest person here.
–Jeff, "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps"
|Jeff possesses a sarcastic wit along with a vain and egotistical personality; this is due to his mother over praising him when he was a child ("Beginner Pottery"). He is an Agnostic ("Comparative Religion"), although this can be seen as an example of his tendency not to put any effort into anything. He hates talking about his feelings and tries to avoid dealing with emotional conflicts("Remedial Chaos Theory"). Despite this, he has a charming personality and is known for his persuasive arguments, a trait which served him well when he was an attorney. As Professor Kane pointed out to him ("Biology 101"), he keeps people at a distance and cannot open himself up to others; this is directly tied into his father's abandonment of him at an early age ("Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking"). He confessed to his ex-boss Ted ("Accounting for Lawyers") that he admired the cool looking divorce lawyer hired by his parents because he did his job without letting his personal feelings get in the way. This, along with an unfortunate incident with a bully named "Big Cheddar" ("Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism"), helped shape the negative aspects to his personality. However, Jeff's time with the study group has been a more positive influence and started to change him for the better. When Alan Connor tells him he was responsible for his disbarment, Jeff thanks him as he genuinely values his time spent at Greendale ("Introduction to Finality"). Although the group tended to look to Jeff as their leader, they began to rely on him less in this role.

Accident pushes Barton to DL
Stiff neck keeps A's first baseman out; Bankston recalled
NEW YORK -- The A's placed first baseman Daric Barton on the disabled list on Saturday, retroactive to Monday, after what Barton called "a freak accident" in which he dove into a pool during the All-Star break and hit his head on the bottom, resulting in six staples and a stiff neck.
"As soon as I did it, I was kind of in shock," Barton said of the injury, which occurred at a friend's apartment in Huntington Beach, Calif., on Sunday night. "I felt my head, looked down and saw a handful of blood."
First baseman Wes Bankston was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and inserted into the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, batting eighth. This is the second time on the big league club for Bankston, who started nine games and batted .294 during a call up earlier this month.
A's manager Bob Geren said he has "mixed feelings" about Barton's injury. Barton said the pool was more shallow than he thought.
"Obviously, the injury could be worse," Geren said. "I'm upset about it a little bit. It seemed to be a careless mistake that hurt the team."
Barton was expected to play in Friday's series opener, but the pain in his neck worsened during batting practice. He said the staples will be removed on Wednesday and he can be ready to play in less than a week.
"I want to play," said Barton, who was batting .224 with three home runs and 25 RBIs in 36 games. "It's my job to play. I have to take responsibility for my actions. It was a freak accident, and I have to deal with it."

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
There are two different starts to the route. The cleaner start follows the first two pitches of the The Cruise/Scenic Cruise and then traverses left to the start of the third pitch of the Goss-Logan. The original start takes a bushy chimmey about a hundred feet left of the Cruise start. Allow at least ten hours for the route, if not more. We did it in 11 hours rim to rim with me leading all of the pitches but the third. This is a serious route with some big fall potential on pitch seven. Not as classic as the Scenic Cruise but a lot more demanding. Once past the first three pitches the climb becomes cleaner. I didn't climb the route for years because of the "rep" of pitch seven. Thanks to whoever replaced the bolts on that pitch. They don't make the runouts any shorter, just a little more comforting.
Bring a standard rack up to a four friend, double up on the hand to fist size, six long slings and six quickdraws. A couple of the bolts on the crux pitch have been updated.

When you share this much love, you guarantee a bright and happy future. Congratulations!
Roses are red. Violets are blue. After all these years, your love is still true. There are many more good times on the horizon. May your love continue to be mesmerizin'.
Few people find everlasting love, and even fewer are able to keep a marriage strong year after year. You should be proud of accomplishing both. Raise your glasses to a future just as enduring.
To the husband, to the wife, may you continue to have a happy life.
Marriage is the birth of a family. Today marks your family's birthday. If I were you, I'd blow out the candles and wish for as much happiness and love as you've shared over the years. Certainly, with such a perfectly suited pair, that wish will come true.
If the old saying, "Happy wife, happy life" is true, then the two of you should have double the happiness. You have a happy wife and a happy husband. Keep that up, and you should have smiles all around for years to come.
Marriage isn't easy. There are ups and downs. There are many challenges. There are even failures. You have worked through the difficult times together, and you have come out the other side stronger and more committed to one another. Now, you better appreciate the good times. With that kind of teamwork and strength behind you, the future can only get better and better.
Love will continue to guide you on your journey together. Knowing that should make you feel secure that there is more happiness and fun on its way.
May you never fight over the remote control, continue to kiss each other passionately, and dream together forever.
Couples who pursue dreams together, stay together. The two of you have made your fantasies of a strong family, accomplished careers, and happy home a reality. Not many people can pull that off. You should be proud, and you are revered. Keep dreamin' for many years to come. Cheers.
Best friends who marry are lucky. They get to live and share with the person who knows and understands them best and with whom they have the most fun. Judging from your years together and how you act around one another, you two are the luckiest people on the planet. Keep that luck alive, and nothing will get in the way of your wedded bliss, not now, not ever.
May your bank accounts grow richer, your sex life sweeter, and your memories more beautiful with every anniversary that is yet to come.
Happy anniversary to the perfect pair of lovebirds. It's a joy to hear you still cooing over one another. May you always be birds of a feather.

Operation Walk was started in 1995 by Lawrence D. Dorr, M.D. in Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Dorr is one of the leading joint replacement surgeons in the United States. On a teaching trip to Russia, Dr. Dorr had the idea that one of the best ways to teach physicians was to actually demonstrate the surgery. Dr. Dorr put together a team of surgeons, internal medicine doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and physical therapists and planned his first Operation Walk trip to Havana, Cuba. The connection was made through a former patient, Mr.. Buddy Litten, and the program took its first step. The team spent eight months getting all of the implants, medications, surgical supplies, and postoperative supplies ready to be transported to Havana. The first trip was a success with 45 joints operated in a 3-day period. It was a very rewarding experience for the team, and of course, everyone was full of enthusiasm to plan the next trip. Over the next 10 years, 2 Operation Walk teams operated 6 times in Cuba, helping over 250 patients.
Please join us for our annual fundraising event. This year we have an evening honoring football legend Jim Brown and Operation Walk at our 17th annual gala dinner. The event will be held Saturday, October 12th, 2013 at the Jonathan Town Club in Los Angeles. Please contact Jeri Ward at firstname.lastname@example.com for tickets or more information.
If you are unable to attend, a donation would be greatly appreciated.

|Paulding County to demolish jail
|Thursday, December 13, 2012 10:24 PM
PAULDING – The Progress confirmed today that the Paulding County commissioners plan to demolish the old county jail – built in 1876. Plans call for it to be demolished in mid-January using county engineer's department employees.
Commissioner Tony Zartman said the structure is a liability and an expense to the county.
He added that the commissioners have tried to sell the building, with no success.
The jail operated continuously from the time it was built until a new facility opened in 2007. The old jail has been empty for the past five years, used only for storage.

Burglars strike in New Year's Eve raid
10:48am Thursday 3rd January 2013 in News By Tony Kearney
BURGLARS escaped with a haul of jewellery after targeting a house on New Year's Eve.
Thieves struck at the house in the Stanley area while the occupants, a couple in their 70s, were out shopping.
Jewellery worth about £900 was stolen from Rosmar House, in Old South Moor, between 10.30am and 12.10pm on Monday, December 31.
Police say the thief got into the couple's home after using a plant pot to smash the bathroom window.
All of the rooms were searched and the thief escaped via the back door, taking keys with them.
Detective Constable Ian Waslin, of Stanley CID, said: "I would appeal to anyone with information about the burglary to contact police.
"If you saw people acting suspiciously in the area or vehicles that wouldn't usually be at that location then please let us know.
"Most of the jewellery items are made of gold and are of sentimental value to the victims."
Stanley police can be contacted via the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

The Rouses Point Village Board unanimously approved the construction of a $3.5 million townhouse to be built on 12 acres of land along the north side of Smith Street in Rouses Point. Construction of the project, which will be called Oakwood, could begin in less than 30 days.
Although opposition to off-track betting in Essex County is gaining momentum, it seems as though the Essex County Board of Supervisors will OK the measure.
St. Bernard Catholic Elementary School in Saranac Lake is closing its sixth grade because of a drop in enrollment, and half its teaching staff will not be returning next year. Sister Brian Marie Latour, who has been principal of the school for the past three years, is also resigning.
Members of Clinton County's municipal employee union can expect to work a long, hot summer without a new contract, and picket lines may ring county government offices. These two major developments were discussed recently as union rank-and-file met in Plattsburgh to discuss strategy on their deadlocked contract talks.
The U.S. government will pay for odor control repairs at the Ruger Street compost plant, a bailout that could be worth $1 million.
A 13-year-old Plattsburgh boy was listed in critical condition after surgery at Montreal Neurological Hospital with injuries suffered when he and three other youngsters were hit by a car on Boynton Avenue. Gary Finnegan was walking home with his two sisters and a cousin from an evening at Rollerland when the mishap occurred.
Grey Gables, the sprawling apartment building erected by the Miner Foundation to house Chazy school teachers, has been suggested as an infirmary for Clinton County welfare patients. Richard Duquette, county welfare commissioner, said the board of supervisors has been approached on the possible purchase of the building.
Two Delaware and Hudson diesel engines derailed when the tracks they were on sunk in the mud near Crown Point. Nobody was injured when at least 15 cars slipped from the tracks, causing coal to be strewn for a considerable distance.

MEMBERS OF Congress who consider themselves tough on crime have long waved the banner for victims. These apostles of law and order, usually but not always conservative Republicans, have pushed for victims' rights and restitution, arguing that the justice system needs to show more compassion to families shattered by violent crime. Fair enough. But when the victims are immigrant women or gay people who have suffered domestic violence, that conservative compassion seems to melt away.
The federal Violence Against Women Act was passed in 1994 and reauthorized without a hitch roughly every five years since. But this year, reauthorization is stalled in the US House, where Republican opponents are balking at new provisions that extend the law's protections to gay and transgender victims, undocumented immigrants, and certain Native Americans abused on federal reservations. Opponents could use a reminder of what victims' rights advocates themselves often say: There are real people behind the crime statistics.

Wait a minute, what tha fff.....Snooki promoting a fighter?!
Oh God bless my mediocre soul...I just googled this, out of all hopes that it was a publicity stunt, and to my fuckin' surprise...it's not a stunt. Where are the boxing Gods when you need them? Everyone involved in this mass arrangement of mockery, should be struck down.
Why not just have the lesbian-lookin' Bieber promote a fighter while you're at it. Have Lil Jon introducing the fighters, since Nick Cannon got a shot. Let Dusty Rhodes call a fight alongside Lampley and others.
Let Ric Flair be a special guest ref as well. Hell...where are the tables and chairs for a hardcore match? Jesus...what is boxing doing. I don't mind some crossovers, but some of this shit is getting out of hand.
Man I swore I wasn't gonna drink tonight, but this just took me over the edge a bit.
PSA: By the way...I'd enjoy Dusty Rhodes's commentary! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Egypt's Sinai Peninsula has turned into a "kind of Wild West," which terrorist organizations use to smuggle weapons with Iranian assistance and initiate attacks on Israel, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Israel Radio on Tuesday.
The open desert border between Israel and Egypt has been relatively quiet since the 1979 peace treaty. But various Israeli officials have said that since the fall of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, Cairo lost control of the desolate Sinai, exacerbating tensions.
Earlier this month, Jerusalem said a rocket that hit Eilat was fired from Sinai. Last August, cross-border infiltrators shot dead eight Israelis.
"We are acting against this reality and we are in ... continuous discussions with the Egyptian government, which is also troubled by this," said Netanyahu.
Iran denies supporting terrorist attacks on Israel from the Sinai.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Sunday that the situation in Sinai was more worrying than what was happening in Iran, and called for a significant boost to troop numbers along the southern border.
In an apparent response Monday, Egypt's interim military ruler, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, cautioned against any interference along the long desert frontier.
"Our borders, especially the northeast ones, are inflamed. We do not attack neighboring countries but will defend our territory," Egypt's state news agency MENA quoted him as saying.
"We will break the legs of anyone trying to attack us or who come near the borders."
Reuters contributed to this story.

Less than a week before this year's Ohio Democratic primary, a local political analyst on WOSU-TV in Columbus laid out the conventional wisdom in the race for the state's newly-drawn 3rd Congressional District:
"Mary Jo Kilroy is going to win handily for several reasons," the analyst opined. "I don't think it will be close."
To say the odds were stacked against Democrat Joyce Beatty would be an understatement. Beatty is a former minority leader of the Ohio State House who was serving as Ohio State University's vice president of outreach when she opted for a primary bid against former Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy.
Kilroy began the race as the odds-on favorite. She had 94 percent name ID and high favorability, but our numbers revealed vulnerability right from the start. Though Kilroy was better known, she lacked the depth of connection and personal intensity that voters who knew Joyce had. Indeed, Joyce earned a very strong 68-degree personal feeling thermometer on our zero to 100 scale, yet was identified by just a bare majority of voters—56 percent. Kilroy had almost universal name ID, yet her personal feeling thermometer was a less intense 63 degrees.
In an open-ended exercise among voters asking why they supported Kilroy from the outset, we learned that fully one-third of Kilroy's supporters were with her simply because they were familiar with the name, and that they were widely open to the right alternative if they could find one.
A poll released seven weeks before the primary had Kilroy defeating Beatty by a whopping 34 points—48 percent to 14 percent. And even though Kilroy was widely expected to win the primary, she had still raised millions and was ready to spend it.
In December, the Beatty campaign quickly assembled a team that included media consultant John Rowley of Fletcher Rowley, pollsters Andrew Myers and Lauren Spangler of Myers Research, campaign manager Greg Beswick and direct mail consultant Achim Bergmann of the Baughman Company.
We knew from the outset that Kilroy's strength wasn't our only hurdle. After Beatty entered the race in mid-December, the window to pull off an upset actually shortened: the primary election date was moved from mid-May back to March 6. For an underfunded hopeful who needs to come from more than 30 points behind to win, that's usually fatal.
A Crowded Field in a New District
When Ohio's new 3rd District was drawn, there was hope that an African-American candidate would have a fighting chance in a Democratic primary given that African Americans made up 36 percent of the primary electorate. But with two credible African-American candidates in the race—Beatty and Columbus City Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson—this prospect looked bleak. In addition to Beatty, Kilroy, and Tyson, state Rep. Ted Celeste (the brother of former Ohio Gov. Dick Celeste) rounded out a field of well-known and well-liked Democrats.
Yet another challenge was rebuilding Beatty's political organization. During her time in the state House, Beatty was widely respected for her legislative leadership and for helping Democrats move from a 22-seat minority to a legislative majority. She also hadn't faced a hotly-contested race in a decade. It meant that Beatty did not have an active campaign organization or even good fundraising and email lists when her Congressional campaign began. Putting the campaign organization together would truly be running a "hurry-up offense."
What we had going for us was our candidate. Beatty had deep ties to the local community and a strong track record as a legislator. A large portion of her former state House district was part of Ohio's new 3rd Congressional District. Beatty had also worked in the nonprofit sector, started two small businesses and held a high-profile position at Ohio State. She entered the right race at the right time and we highlighted a message that resonated with key segments of the primary electorate. In all of our campaign communications, Beatty was our messenger. Our baseline poll offered a clear path to making it a tight race with Kilroy.
Despite the fact that Beatty trailed by a substantial margin at the outset, Kilroy lost ground after a balanced and positive message profile, while Beatty gained, leaving the two locked in a statistical dead heat that had Beatty at 36 percent (close to the same share of the vote she received on Election Day).
We were able to close the gap with Kilroy because the environment favored Beatty and her message. The frustration of the electorate was palpable in our polling—voters were tired of the status quo and did not want a candidate who would "go along to get along."

Striking fear into the hearts of jib features everywhere.
The Burton Infidel Binding is designed specifically with hard-way-spinning, nose-pressing, ollie-popping park sharks in mind. The medium flex handles most anything on the mountain, but it really comes into its own when you start looking at the mountain like a skatepark. That's thanks in part to the softer flexing base plate, and it gets a boost from the super-tweakable Gumbo Hi Back. The Lushstrap heel straps and Primo Capstrap toe straps fight foot fatigue, no matter how many laps you crank out in a day. The bombproof nylon composite base plate gives you a responsive ride without sacrificing freestyle freedom. Re:Flex technology incorporates a minimized base plate, which lets your board flex naturally, instead of creating dead spots under your feet. The Gumbo high back can be set up with zero forward lean, and that means more balance while you're dialing in that back lip through the double kink.

Just got em today and already I'm in love the colors are on point. These bindings are just what I'm looking for to take my park riding to the next level.
Clean and fresh!!!

just received these today and fresh out the box I notice that they look even better in person. Super clean. Nothing too fancy. Highback is soft and flexy for locked in, steezy jibs and presses. Putting these through some heavy park and street riding this season!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First off, these bindings aren't bad- you simply get what you pay for. Not a ton of cash flow and you like jibbing everything in the park? These will be awesome for you. The highback is extremely flexible- you can practically fold it upon itself, but it still holds well leaning back into it. I enjoyed riding these bindings, but the ratchets ate through the ladders in less than a week. Not sure if it was just the preproduction model, or if they all ended up like that, but that was my largest issue with these. Also keep in mind, these bindings utilize Re:Flex baseplates, which I also dislike because the Re:Flex baseplate does not allow for many stance options- basically you can put them in the pre-drilled holes in your board, but no fine tuning.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
strapped on the Medium Militants with a size 10 Rome boot... the front cap strap only clicked into the 2nd notch, and that was a very tough click. I'm sure with some wear they'd stretch out for ease and comfort but definitely returning for a set of Large's.
Other than that, killer swag man. One thing I noticed is that the tan is lighter than pictured, doesnt degrade from the binding but just something to point out.

As school ends, summer jobs often begin, and young people often find jobs in the construction industry. And because that field ranks third in the number of work-related youth fatalities nationwide, construction is the focus of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's second annual Teen Summer Job Safety campaign.
SkillsUSA is again participating in the April campaign kickoff, at Thomas Edison High School of Technology in Silver Spring, Md. There's more at: www.skillsusa.org/educators/osha.shtml.
How can you or someone you care about stay safe on the job? Visit www.youthrules.dol.gov, the campaign's Web component, and take the "New Youth Working in Construction" electronic seminar. You'll learn about the laws designed to protect young people from dangerous situations, as well as the main causes of construction-related injuries. Explore the site for other safety resources to help keep summer fun and summer jobs rewarding.

Sold as "London Summer Ale".
The colour is yellow-amber (15 EBC), the liquid clear. The three finger head is airy and yellowish. It sinks slowly leaving some lacing.
The smell is dry and malty with fine fresh bitter flavours. Minerals, marmalade and hints of cedar wood. Some British hay-ish hops flavours.
The taste is light and malty, but it is not very sweet. Hints of yeast, peaches, hay and a light and smooth bitterness. Light to medium body. The aftertaste is smooth and balanced. Some exotic fruits: Green and ripe bananas, peaches and biscuits. The finish is mild with some fruits.
The carbonation is light to medium, the bubbles small. The liquid is light.
Light and refreshing, almost as clean as a fine lager. I like.

A: This beer is clear golden with a large, almost unbelievably thick white head. Dissipation takes a while, and leaves rich lacings.
S: Fruit and grass. Caramell malt, semi-sweet. Bitter hops, but even more floral; oranges and pears.
T: Sweet, bready malt. Floral hops brings fruits; oranges and pears, even some red apples. Bitter hops, but kind of in the back.
M: Long bitter aftertaste, medium body and mild carbonation.
O: A nice EPA, refreshing and summery.

The beer is clear brass colored, medium sized lively bubbles, a white rather quickly settling head. Good lacing though, but small curtains.
A weak fruity smell, oranges, pears and some grass.
Starts sweet, loaf of bread, sweet orange juice, ripe red apples some orange peel.
Medium low carbonation, fresh and smooth, a medium body, a smooth dry finish.
A nice British Pale Ale, not extremely much summer to me, can be enjoyed year-round.

A Fullers I've not had! Awesome.
Crystal clear light Amber body with ok head and some decent lace.
Nose is sweet biscuity malt a bit like buttered White bread. A gentle background of green grass and pepper hops.
Feel and flavour live up to the name. Silky smooth, medium light body, sweetish bready malts with light bittering and peppery hops. Honey and lemonade. Shandy-esque. Cask diacetyl butteriness in the mix is complimentary. While not one of the best Fullers range, it is still unmistakably Fullers and dangerously drinkable.
Nothing interesting but definitely one to go for on this warm London eve and definitely on to convert your lager drinking mates over from the 'dark' side.

Yellow beer, with a degree of haze to it, producing giant soapy head. Aroma was lemon fresh, but not Pledge (tm).
An enjoyable degree of bitterness in a summer ale. Wish more summer wheat beers had this. The hopping is light, but the malt is light enough to allow the hops to be noticed, even if coming nowhere near prominent. Might get the bitterness from the lemon aspect more than the hopping or yeast strain. Maybe some honey in there. The hops are prolly Kent Goldings or Saaz. Basically, the lemon, bitterness, hopping and carbonation all produce a quality summer beer for the light hearted super hot days.
Price is average, drinkability is good, but I've never seen this in a 6er, which is a negative.

The white fluffy head disappates quite quickly. Pleasant yellow straw colour. Modest carbonation. In many ways, it is closer to a lager, but much less fizzy than most. I have been a fan of Fuller's beers for years, and have never tasted this one before. It is my least favourite Fuller's beer. Having said all that, it is aimed at the summer BBQ in the sun market, and is much preferable to the macro lager swill one normally finds at such events.

Sunny canary yellow with a slight haze and silky carbonation that cascades softly in to a meringuey-white head with very good retention. Mild and malt-forward nose, buttery and biscuity and pleasant, but one-dimensional. A tiny zip of floral hops adds some spice. The flavor is toasty, nutty, and caramelly with a strong topnote of cider-like apple juice, fruity with an edge of honey. Clean and dry with a hop profile thinner than fishing wire. A bit soapy. To be perfectly fair, this is not that refreshing, as the pump handle boasts - the cask mouthfeel just can't compete with forced carbonation for pure, crisp refreshment, I'm afraid. It is satiny smooth, sure, but in my opinion, a beer's gotta have a bit of effervescence to be really refreshing. Good stuff, but not really worth a second pint. Not in this heat, anyway.

500ml brown bottle presentation, bought at 80 pence only at the Sainsbury's. supermarket when it was on sale. 3.9%abv., BB 25/06/07, served cool in a straight imperial-pint glass.
A: pours a dark straw colour; a moderate layer of fluffy white foam dissipates slowly... on top of gentle carbonation.
S: light-textured biscuity malts hand in hand with a refreshingly sweet honeyish, sweet citric syrupy and mashed pea-ish backbone; Saaz' grassy note stays firmly behind, but not as assertive as a full-bodied Czech lager nor a hoppy English Golden Bitter. Pretty one-dimensional.
T: a slightly savoury-sweet yet feather-light flavour of wheat malt and pale malts upfront, decorated with a dryish citric bitter edge, some hay-ish, grassy taste of Saaz hops, and a faintly honeyish note... leaving a neutral aftertaste with bits of dryish-mouthfeel of hops yet going slightly watery in the end...
M&D: the carbonation is spritzy, not intrusive nor soft, but the palate doesn't hold too well as it goes; overall this light-bodied golden ale lacks a balance b/w of malts and hops, nor is there a clear theme featuring anything at all, thus making it a rather uninteresting brew if compared with the lately-issued Discovery, Fuller's other Golden Ale--it's rather like a bland forebear of Discovery really. All in all, this is by far the least impressive offering from Fuller's that I've ever tasted. Not a terrible beer, but certainly not living up to Fuller's usual high standard.

tried this at the Fuller's brewery, this review is from notes.
A pale straw color with a bubbly shortlived head and some respectable lacing. The aroma is of floral hops and a soft maltiness. The taste is very sudued, with a mellow hoppiness (some fresh mown grass and herbal hops?) and an understated biscuit maltiness. There is very little bitterness here. The tour guide said this beer is hopped exclusively with Saaz hops which might explain the mellow hop flavor. The body is very light and the mouthfeel is rather watery. Not the best Fuller's offering I tried but still better than Golden Promise or 1845. A little bit too light and bland.

Pours with a light amber body, thin whispy head forms
Smell, light hoppy aroma, slight floral also.
Taste, dry and light, as it is a summer beer the abv is very low, goes down very easy, slight hop bitterness on the finish
All in all a fairly good ale, good for hot days outside

Pours crystal clear yellow and golden color with a big white "soapy" head. Few tiny spots of lace on the pint.
Aroma of grain, light citurs, grass and some pale malts.
Flavor was sweet but plae malt with a heavy dose of light flavored grain and soem lighter yet, sfot lemon and lime notes.
Mouthfeel was slightly sweet and grainy and finishes with a lightly spiced and citrusy hop end.
Drinkability was decent but sweetness was a little bit too much.

Pours a bright golden honey colour with a big white head, that settles to a few millimetres thick throughout the rest of the pint. Leaves little rings of lacing down the glass.
Aroma is really malty, with a slightly cinnamon and nutmeg hit to the hops. Lemons then follow, with a hoppy end.
Taste is malty also, with spicy hops, citrus flavours, and a complex but overall hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is bubbly and refreshing, and it drinks very well.

Highly drinkable summer ale from Britain. Pour bright gold, almost yellow. Very little foam that dissipates to a light but rough carbonation which could be the fault of my glassware. A fresh malt aroma with just a tinge of floral character I suspect is from hops. A clean tasting beer with hint of lemon on a backdrop of very light toasted malt. Very smooth and clean, a very quaffable ale. There's a bit of an unpleasant bitterness, again this could be because of a dirty glass. Overall a very clean, drinkable summer ale.

Its been almost two years since Ive sampled, or even seen this beer at the package store, and I look forward to its crisp and fresh taste.
Clear gold in color, the head is off white and modest in size with a decent covering sheet of lace. Crisp and fresh the nose, mostly malt and as with the start lightly sweet, top lean in feel and the finish sparsely carbonated, the hops adequate, dry aftertaste, but a bit less than I remember or my notes indicate, still quite quaffable.

2002 release. Well, it's finally starting to cool down here in Arizona, so I thought I'd finish this off before the weather totally changes. Pure golden and crystal clear. Pours a head that quickly turns into a rocky and lacy mass of bubbles, and then to a thin lace. Not much in the nose, mainly grainy malt character and a touch of citrus from the hops, even a little banana. Extremely refreshing taste that's easy on the palate, yet not boring. Grain and bread-like malt alongside citrus hops, just like the aroma. Light body. Well balanced and definitely aimed to refresh. Great session brew and a wonderful thirst quencher.

A nice refreshing and "different" offering from Fullers. Very lager like golden straw, head was decent but went away almost totally in the end. Good lace was left. Nothing really stood out for me but it had the English smoothness that I like. A very good beer for the now two weeks of miserable heat I've had to endure.

Quite a creamy looking head over a deep gold liquid, hoppy aroma, slight hints of honey in there aswell. Creamy mouthfeel, slight sweet start, good hop bitter finish, which i think saves this beer, quite refreshing. Very good on draught.

Advertised as a light-bodied and flavored ale suitable for hot summer weather. It is an interesting beer, as it is more like a lager, even a pilsner, in flavor and body, yet it was not thin or watery. Nicely hopped with a pleasant, clean finish. A nice change of pace from other brewers' summer varietals, which are often a wheat-based interpretation.

Both chambers of the Indiana General Assembly have passed a bill that ties drug testing to welfare benefits, but if signed into law, the next debate may be on the question: Is it constitutional?
The bill's sponsors say they've carefully crafted the language to avoid the kind of legal challenges that have stalled similar drug-testing programs in other states.
But opponents say there's no getting around the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and predict it's headed for court.
"I think it's unconstitutional and going to be challenged," said Ken Falk, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union chapter in Indiana. "And we'd certainly be willing to make that challenge."
In February, a federal appeals court ruled against Florida's testing of welfare applicants for drug use in a case brought by the ACLU.
The ruling didn't strike down Florida's drug-testing requirement directly. But the appeals court held that the state failed to show a direct threat to public safety that would justify drug testing without suspicion of wrongdoing.
Florida's governor has vowed to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Florida drug-testing program has been on a court-ordered hold since 2011, as the legal fight plays out. At least four other states have adopted laws that allow drug testing of welfare applicants suspected of drug use.
Here in Indiana, the backers of House Bill 1483 hope to avoid a scenario similar to Florida.
They argue that the Indiana legislation is different than the Florida law. In Florida, anyone who applies for the federal cash-assistance welfare program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, is eligible to be drug-tested.
The Indiana legislation would require all TANF applicants in Indiana to take a 65-question written test used nationally to screen people for potential drug abuse. Only test-takers who show a high propensity to abuse drugs would be part of a pool randomly required to take a urine drug test. Those who fail would be steered into a drug treatment program.
"We're not making everyone subject to drug testing, only those who show a high propensity for substance abuse disorder," said Republican Sen. Randy Head, a Logansport lawyer who sponsored the bill in the Senate.
But Falk said the 65-question written test in the Indiana bill is not enough to overcome the hurdles that courts have imposed on mandatory drug testing.
"Failing a (written) screening test isn't proof of anything," Falk said. "It's an invasive search without probable cause."
Both Head and the bill's author, Republican Rep. Jud McMillin, a Brookville lawyer, defended the bill during debates on the legislation, assuring lawmakers it would stand up to a constitutional challenge.
But the Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, an Anderson lawyer, disgreed. "This is a constitutional lawyer's dream," Lanane said.
McMillin and Head have argued that the intent of the bill isn't punitive, since the TANF program is supposed to be only for people who are actively looking for work or going to school to get training to get a job.
"What we're trying to do is give somebody a hand up instead of a handout," McMillin said.
A TANF recipient who tests positive for drugs would be allowed to keep their benefits but would have to enter a treatment program. The treatment program could be a free program, like Narcotics Anonymous, Head said.
"There are plenty of NA programs in church basements across the state," Head said.
The Indiana bill also requires those TANF recipients who've been steered into a drug treatment program to stay clean or risk losing their benefits.
It requires them to submit to follow-up urine drug tests and cuts off their benefits if they fail repeated drug tests. It also includes a provision that allows them to get their TANF benefits back in the future, once they start to test clean.
In arguing for the bill, Head noted a federal law, the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, that authorized, but didn't require states to impose mandatory drug testing as a prerequisite to receiving federal welfare assistance administered by the states.
But few states have acted to do so until recently. Michigan was the first to do so, but the state's mandatory drug testing program was struck down as unconstitutional in 2003 in a challenge brought by the ACLU. A federal appeals court ruled the mandatory drug tests violated welfare recipients' Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches.
Since Florida adopted its drug-testing program in 2011, seven more states have passed similar laws tying drug screening to eligibility for public assistance.

It is said that "the dharma is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end." From
the first experience of relaxing on the cushion and allowing oneself to just be, the practitioner
can discover the goodness of dharma, both within him or herself and in the world. The path of the
practitioner of dharma is rich with opportunities for self-examination and discovery. Beginning with
looking at one's own experience directly in meditation, the practitioner learns about the ways the
mind works. Through meditation, the practitioner penetrates confusion to experience the naturalness
of being awake. Through studying the wisdom of the lineage, the great practitioners dating back to
the Buddha, the student is challenged and inspired to discover a direct view of the nature of mind
and reality. While there are many opportunities to join with others on the path for practice and
study, the journey is personal.
—Chögyam Trungpa

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is the wildest and most full-throttle presentation to hit the big screen this year as acclaimed actor Leonardo DiCaprio and legendary filmmaker Martin Scorcese once again create a highly-anticipated and controversial film. This film is extremely aggressive, highly graphic, and at most times, over the top. But through all of the chaos, it is wildly entertaining and gives audiences a peek at a life that appears to be glamorous and exciting on the surface, yet presents a tidal wave of harm and destruction underneath.
Based on the book by the same name, "The Wolf of Wall Street" tells the true story of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), a New York stockbroker whose crooked banking, stock advising, and flashy lifestyle lands him on the radar of the federal government and makes quite an impact on the stock market in the 1990s. Starting out as a young, ambitious, wet sponge Belfort goes from a small position at a large stock firm to turning a few guys and a small office into an enormous, well-known, and profitable agency. Using a series of illegal and unethical practices, Belfort takes advantage of the everyday working man by convincing them to buy large on small stocks that the average trader knows will never get off the ground, thus yielding large commissions to the company and hardly any pay off for the customer. Once Belfort gets a taste of the fast and alluring life of money, girls, and drugs, he continues to increase his level of corruption by withholding information from the feds, investing in stocks using inside information, smuggling money to other countries and much more. But like anything that seems to good to be true, the consequences begin to catch up to Belfort and threaten to cost him everything he's worked for.
Lavish parties, expensive houses, fast cars, large boats, and more money than you would even know what to do with, "The Wolf of Wall Street" at first glance appears to show how intoxicating and electrifying the life of a rich businessman can be, but the air quickly dissipates as it is clear that the path taken to get there is paved with greed, lies, corruption, and a plethora of drugs. The exceedingly beautiful women and large quantities of cash that are presented rival the amount of cheating husbands, sketchy deals, and unorthodox behavior that takes place. From a rating standpoint, this film barely avoided being categorized as NC-17, in large part due to the excessive drug use, full frontal nudity, mistreatment of various people, offensive or vulgar language, for starters.
Much of this film can be very shocking to the average person, but the intense scenes, explicit content, and several outstanding lead performances are what makes it great. DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, and others are absolute gold to watch. The seduction and exorbitant material possessions cast a spell on the audience as they do the cast, and the debaucherous-yet-down-right-good-time that the characters are having is more than contagious. The movie makes valuable use of character narration and amusing internal dialogue to let you know what they're really thinking, as well as a series of cut scenes and Scorcese's patented music-filled video montages to play out a mix of the extravagant partying, foolish behavior, and bad decisions.
DiCaprio is at the top of his game, presenting a character that is a combination of his roles in "The Departed" and "The Great Gatsby" and gives a main performance that would normally rival just about anyone, if not for such an amazing and competitive year for movies. Jonah Hill is hilarious as the smart, risk-taking sidekick to Dicaprio's character, and Matthew McConaughey, while only present for a short while, makes the most of his screen time. Coupled with performances from Kyle Chandler, Spike Jonze, Margot Robbie, Jon Favreau, Rob Reiner, Jean Dujardin, Jon Bernthal, and more, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not short on fresh and established faces.
From a negative standpoint, the film is almost three hours long, which can be a bit much for some. To its credit, the film does utilize most of this time to display a loud and exhilarating presentation; it's just a matter of whether you can sit through that much movie time. For as high-profile and elaborate as it is, I was surprised to find several cheap special effects and camera shots of obviously fake scenery, props, etc. This doesn't necessarily bring down the film, since it does have fantasy likenesses to it, but I would have expected more from a Scorcese and DiCaprio production. There has been indifferent opinions on how well the adaption of the book is, and one of my biggest concerns is that for all of the time spent with these characters and the high level of risk/reward shown, there is never a deep sense of emotion, real consequence, or a reason to care about what happens to the characters.
I like to think of "The Wolf of Wall Street" as this year's "Django: Unchained." It's as every bit offensive, shocking, and all around absurd at times, yet has enough spark and positive elements to make it popular. It's the kind of film that will be equally or more talked about than others, yet will never win best picture because of the high level of graphic content. It's the epitome of everything that's wrong with our society: the extremes of drug use, casual sex, criminal and selfish behavior, and using other people to get what you want. The entire film is like a drawn out high. The first two-thirds are balls-to-the-walls comedy, dishonesty, and a soaring high, and the last part feels like a major comedown and hangover as the characters pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath of their actions.
This movie is without a doubt full of testosterone, antagonizing behavior, and pure pleasure, and it will be one of the most talked about films of this year. All around, it's fantastic. See it for yourself starting Christmas Day, but know that it is not for the faint of heart.
Rated 4.5-out-of-5 stars.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is rated R for sequences of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language throughout, and for some violence. Running time is 2 hours and 59 minutes.

Hershey Company has unveiled its new corporate logo.
Tucson Police have identified the woman who was found dead inside a house on Tucson's south side on Wednesday night.

Also, the chaos we experienced when trying to connect with our shore excursions was shocking. We had a particularly troubling time in Jamaica and Grand Cayman; a throng of madness as everyone had no idea where to go or when. The shore representatives seem disorganized and overwhelmed and not terribly anxious to answer the same question a hundred times. If I pay Royal Caribbean for an excursion, then I expect a Royal Caribbean Rep to walk me to my embarkation popint or at least make sure that all is well. Making things worse, is the fact that 4 cruise ships are in the same port at the same time and ALL are looking for their excursion! These cruise lines have no problem taking our money but make little effort to see that their service meets their hype.
Back to the ship - thankfully for me, there is an "adult only" pool area on the ship, but there is no one making sure that the kids keep out. I (as well as other fed-up adults) threw several kids out of the pool and off the lounge chairs - a responsibility that should fall to the cruise line. We will probably cruise again - but not sure if the Freedom will be our choice. One small point for those of you who do not like the Starbucks type coffee - Royal Caribbean serves Seattle's Best which tastes too much like Charbucks for me. I will bring my own instant in the future. A week without a good ole cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee was almost too long :-)

Almost four months since his TKO of 400-pounder Dustin Nichols in Alabama, Lawrence's unbeaten heavyweight, Alexis Santos is ready to pick on someone his own size.
Now, 6-0 with five knockouts as a pro, Santos will make his six-round debut on Oct. 18 vs. Ohio's Josh Harris on a loaded CES Boxing professional card at Twin River Casino in Rhode Island.
"I'm feeling great, and this is a big fight for me," said the 23-year-old Santos. "This could make something for us. The kid is ballsy. He's talking a lot of stuff. And he's ranked 24 as a cruiserweight in America. It should be a great test."
Added Santos' trainer Sean Farley, "I give the kid credit. He's the only guy around New England who will fight Alexis."

Men's soccer kicks off new season with new coach
With a new coach, new players, and a new vision, the Linfield men's soccer team is prepping for a fresh start next season.
For the past five seasons, the team has been led by coach Ian Lefebvre.
Following this past season, a new head coach, Chuck Bechtol was hired.
Bechtol has spent the last four years coaching boys soccer at McMinnville High School, where he led the boys to Pacific Conference titles for the past three seasons.
He has been honored as Pacific Conference Coach of the Year three times.
Bechtol, a Linfield alum, was a four-year soccer letter-winner from 1988 until 1991. He was a first team all-conference midfielder as a senior in 1991 and received All-Conference honorable mention in 1989.
For this new season Bechtol plans to take the team in a new direction. He looks forward to seeing the team improve every day and beginning to build a new program. He hopes to see improvements in all areas of play.
Senior Kyle Brouse has played with the team since transferring to Linfield his sophomore year.
Despite a frustrating season this past year, Brouse has enjoyed playing with Wildcats.
"The highlight for me was being able to travel with the team, as well as, get to meet people from all over," he said.
Brouse said he's enjoyed the close community that Linfield has to offer both on campus and in sports.
"It made each athlete feel a part of one big team in the athletic department and on campus," Brouse said.
Freshman Emerson North looks forward to returning next season.
Bechtol has already had the chance to work with the team in spring training.
North is impressed so far with Bechtol's coaching style.
"He's a really good coach. He knows how to talk to us during practice, and he's good at talking to us individually," North said.
Bechtol's coaching style is different from former coach Lefebvre, but North said the team has already begun to see improvements.
Personally, North hopes to improve with his left foot, and overall play.
He said he's greatly enjoyed his time with the Wildcats.
"Even though we had a rough season last year, it's been a great experience so far," North said.
The team finished with spring training this past Friday. It will be returning to the field for pre-season training in late August.
