Rated 3 out of 5Â by MetamorFit Left tongue slips and causes discomfort :( I wanted to love these shoes. I did not like the 2.0, but I loved the 3.0! I was hoping that the 4.0 would be a bit more like the 3.0, but they sadly were more like the 2.0 for me. The 4.0 promised an internal FITFRAME for a no slip, no move tongue. Apparently my left shoe did not get that memo because that tongue kept slipping all over the place which caused rubbing and discomfort :( But ONLY the LEFT shoe. The right shoe was perfect!! So if I just had to judge based on the right foot then I'd say it was the perfect shoe! Lightweight, breathable, comfortable. But I have two feet, so I must look at how the left foot was impacted. Sadly, I did not love these shoes as I had hoped! 8/11/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sammy24 I highly recommend Nano 4.0 I've been an athlete my whole life but I am relatively new to CrossFit. I started four months ago and was instantly hooked. I was skeptical at first, if a shoe would really make that much difference. However, after hearing great reviews about past generations of Nanos, I decided to take the leap and buy the Nano 4.0, and am so happy I did! The Nano 4.0 has amazing stability. During all of my lifts I feel completely grounded and secure. I never imagined that a shoe with such flat bottoms could still have arc support but they truly do, my foot never feels sore after a WOD. Not only that, but they are incredibly light and great to run in. I haven't tried any distances over 1 mile yet, but for sprints, agility movements, and all of my WODs they have been great. I could not be happier with any other shoe. Reebok has developed the perfect CrossFit shoe and I highly recommend the Nano 4.0 to any CrossFitter! 7/21/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RiGatorMom The Nano 4.0 is my favorite CrossFit shoe yet. I'm a CrossFit shoe junkie. From the Nano 2.0s, 3.0s to different brands, I've tried them all. There are a few things that really stuck out to me on the 4.0: -they are lighter weight -they are more flexible which is great for big-footed people like myself -comfortable for runs (I only usually go max a mile or so in a CrossFit wod so I don't know how they would be for longer distances-- I am not a runner!) -the cage seems more breathable I am very impressed with the improvements Reebok has made in the 4.0 since the 3.0. I really love that I know the Nano 4.0's are ready for anything in a WOD: rope climbs, runs, burpees & box jumps. 8/19/14
Rated 5 out of 5 by winetoweights Nano virgin no-more I have been doing Crossfit for just over a year and a half and never really bought into the Nano hype. Everyone else was doing it, so I was a bit hesitant to conform, since I thought the shoes were just a marketing thing. But when I had an opportunity to review the shoes for personal use, I fell in love!!! These shoes are so comfortable and breathable and super cute! I did a full review over on my blog, but I highly recommend!! I have been wearing a more minimalist shoe for quite some time, and was concerned with the bulkier design compared to my usual shoe, but was pleasantly surprised as how comfortable, lightweight, and flexible these are! The first WOD I tested the shoes out on was ���Helen,â which I had only done once before a couple of years ago. Without running for the past seven weeks due to an injury, I was planning on rowing instead, but decided to jog around the building to see how the shoes felt. And my foot felt amazing. I despise any WOD that has running in it, but it just felt so right (and I got the little âRXâ next to the WOD for the first time)! I began to second-guess my everyday WOD shoe choice as maybe the additional support was a significant adjustment to how my foot was being pounded around in the shoe. 8/18/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by klbs Amazing fit, premium build quality, very versatile The Nano 4.0's are hands down the best training shoes I've ever owned. I've worn them for every single training session since I got them. I'm an Olympic Lifter so I do train in OL shoes as well, but for everything else, my Nano 4.0's are my #1 choice. I can definitely still snatch and clean and jerk in Nanos if I choose to. I have an love Nano 3.0's as well, but the fit of the 4.0 is superior. As soon as I put them on when they were brand new, they instantly molded to my feet. No break in required whatsoever! The build quality, materials, and attention to detail truly puts these shoes in a class of their own. I've attached a couple of close up pictures to help you visualize how well made the 4.0's are. All the color combos are great, but the yellow and black 2014 games edition are fricken spectacular. SO vibrant and energetic. Pictures really do no justice to how good these shoes look in person. If you're in the market for Nanos I probably don't need to tell you how well they perform as a training shoe. They're so versatile and somehow manage to be sturdy and durable yet still lightweight. These are made to last so they're definitely an investment to your training that's worth making. Sizing for me was right on with with what I've worn in other brands and the same size as my 3.0's. I love that Reebok provides hassle free pre-paid return shipping labels just in case though. Do it...get 'em. :) The only hard decision is what color to choose. If you go with the yellow and black, there's some great matching apparel for both men and women. I have the lightweight hoodie I linked below and it's AMAZING. 8/15/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CourtNorm Best One Yet I've had several pairs of 2's and 1 pair of 3's and I love that these 4.0's combine my favorite features of both of those into 1 shoe. Wide Toe box, duracage, Rope Pro, Lightweight, and breathable. My favorite WOD shoe yet! 8/10/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by talklesssaymore LOVE them! I was kind of nervous for my first WOD with them as it included running (something that I didn't like wearing my old Nanos for) but also knew it was the perfect opportunity to test and compare the to the older version. Immediately I could feel the difference! The soft midsole cushioning and lightweight guidance gave my knees and joints the comfort they needed while running, while the 4mm heel to toe drop gave me the stability I needed during that day's wall balls. I have fallen in love with them more each day. And while I may not (always) love burpees, I do appreciate the toe wrap to protect those little babies with each jump back as I throw myself to the ground. I'm a big believer that the Nanos are getting better with each version! The 4.0's do NOT disappoint! 8/13/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Pfitblog Nano 4s - Another Home Run! I have to say, I really love ALL the Nanos! I can tell the Nano 4.0 is going to be super durable and last me a long time. The truth is, the Nano really needed no improvement - I already LOVED them! But, as always, Reebok continues to look for ways to improve these shoes and that's why I keep buying them! These are my 7th pair and they all still practically look brand new! #Addicted! 8/15/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MindysFitnessJourney A Perfect Fit! I love these shoes. I have the Nano 2.0 and 3.0 and these are the best fit yet. Thank you Reebok for working so hard to make the right improvements every time! 8/14/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lydilou7 Fits like a glove As a new crossfit enthusiast I wanted to wear something that supported my feet for all the lifts & fit comfortably. I love these! Not only are the colors vibrant & fun, but the moment I put them on they molded to my feet perfectly & fit like a glove. They are light weight, and flexible which allows me to run in them as well. 7/22/14

Notes: Eye surgery helping Peralta
Shortstop expects restored vision to benefit all aspects of game
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Looking in to read catcher Victor Martinez's signs from his shortstop position, all Jhonny Peralta could see was a fuzzy blur.It was at that point, in the last month of the 2006 season, that Peralta knew it might be time to pop in some contact lenses. "I could feel it for myself," Peralta said Tuesday. "I didn't see the ball very good and, when I was playing shortstop, I couldn't see the signs at home plate. I knew I had a problem with my eyes." Peralta was right. He had been diagnosed with myopia (near-sightedness) earlier in the year, but he opted not to wear the contacts given to him, because he didn't like the way they felt in his eyes. For the last two weeks of the season, however, he began wearing the lenses, and his performance at that tail end of a difficult year drew praise from manager Eric Wedge. It's too soon to tell whether Peralta's improvement was a direct result of the vision correction or just the lessons of a long '06 season finally sinking in. But Peralta, taking no chances, had LASIK surgery performed on his eyes in December to have them permanently corrected. "I tried to use the contacts, but it was too hard for me," Peralta said. "This is much better." Being able to read a catcher's signs is pivotal for a shortstop's success in the field, because it helps him anticipate what's coming and where he should position himself. For Peralta, those signs became a hazy mystery as the '06 season wore on, and it certainly showed in his performance. He was often criticized by Wedge for not getting to balls he should have. Now, as the Indians prepare for the '07 season, Peralta, who reported to Spring Training on Tuesday, is under particular scrutiny. The Tribe's only legitimate roster decision in camp will be the utility infielder's job, and that player is expected to be particularly adept at short, in order to back up Peralta. Peralta and utility infield candidates Hector Luna, Luis Rivas, Joe Inglett, Keith Ginter and Mike Rouse were all put through some defensive drills on Tuesday morning, and Wedge was encouraged by Peralta's first day. "I was very pleased with what I saw from him, action-wise and moving around," Wedge said. "He's stronger. Physically, fundamentally and mentally -- he's worked all three areas. It should help him with his overall game." Despite the inconvenience of dropping the contacts into his eyes, Peralta feels that his improved vision helped him in both phases of the game last September. During the Tribe's season-ending, seven-game homestand, Peralta coupled a stronger performance in the field with a .348 average and four RBIs at the plate. "I could see everything better," he said. "The last week, I feel I hit the ball good and everything. We'll see if this [surgery] can help a little bit, too." Slow Trot, for now: Former Red Sox hitting coach Dwight Evans once gave Trot Nixon a great line about an important trait that ballplayers must possess. "I want patience," said Evans, "and I want it right now."

Latin music is motivating which adds to the popularity of this program. This semester's class will be calorie-buring, but not as hectic. Toning will be incorporated in the movements thus making it a little slower-paced. Sandy will combine dance steps, unique moves and comfortable combinations.

It is gorgeous, eerie, brave, intense, sexy, funny, and very, very smart. Not unlike the artist. ;)

Be one of the first to stay in my stunning new condo in our beautiful complex in West Maui. My place offers a million dollar view at a great price.
It's all about the best location and the classic beauty of an elegant remodel. You can't get any closer to the ocean than Hale Ono Loa. My home offers a million dollar ocean view, and excellent snorkeling just steps away.
Hale Ono Loa is located in Honokowai (west Maui) just minutes from the Kaanapali resort area and the Kapalua golf courses. We are surrounded by the amazing beaches at Napili Bay, D.T. Fleming, Kapalua Bay and Kaanapali black rock. You can also stroll to the beach next door. Duke's Last Resort at the new Honua Kai resort, and Honokowai Beach Park for families, are both a short five minute walk. My condo is ten minutes from Lahania and five minutes to the West Maui Airport. Shops, a supermarket, and restaurants are just a few blocks away.
My home was recently remodeled, and is regarded as one of the nicest in the area. An upgraded bathroom and kitchen, along with beautiful bamboo floors, lend my home a feeling of elegance and serenity. There is a ceiling fan in every room that catches the famous Maui trade-winds and keeps you cool year-round. Along with the professionally appointed furnishings and decor, you will find my home fully equipped with all of the amenities for your comfort, including a luxury pillowtop mattress for extra comfort. I took great care in selecting high quality furnishings, with the expectation that my guests will be comfortable and happy to spend time in my home.
Our association completed a renovation of the entire complex in 2010, with Hale Ono Loa now described as the crown jewel of the oceanfront properties located along the west Maui beachfront. The most amazing aspect of Hale Ono Loa are the jaw-dropping sundecks, which are practically on top of the ocean. There is a set of stairs to the right of the sundecks, which takes you directly down to the reef for snorkeling. We even have our own turtles "in residence"! During the whale season (November through April) you can watch whales and spinning dolphins from your lanai, or the sundecks.
The private large pool and sun deck area is surrounded with large coconut palms and numerous tropical plants. These tropical gardens are well maintained, conveying the feeling that you are a part of Old Hawaii. This area is located on the ocean and will provide you with many hours of comfort and relaxation.
Maui is the perfect place for your vacation, wedding celebration or honeymoon in paradise! Hale Ono Loa provides all of the comforts and conveniences you will need during your stay at my home.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Joba Chamberlain is one person who can truly appreciate "Linsanity."
Chamberlain inspired the "Joba Rules," which became a New York obsession when the pitcher went 2-0 with a 0.38 ERA in 19 relief appearances after joining the Yankees in August 2007.
Now Chamberlain is soaking in the exploits of Jeremy Lin, the New York Knicks' sudden star.
Chamberlain says "it's been fun to watch." He's in Florida rehabbing from elbow ligament replacement surgery.

A 10-month-old accidentally locked himself inside a hot car, and his mom says a 911 dispatcher didn't immediately send help.
A Tucson teacher who had been removed from her classroom after she taped a child to her chair has resigned.
Ilse Lopez taught at Hollinger Elementary School in the Tucson Unified School District.
Documents we obtained from TUSD contain the resignation letter and other information related to the school's investigation into the incident.
The paperwork also contains the teacher's version of what happened.
She admits taping the child to the chair, but says it was after trying several other strategies over two weeks to try to keep the seven-year-old child from being disruptive.
Lopez lists several things she says the child did, including dancing around the room, hiding under her desk, constantly sharpening pencils until they were very short.
Lopez says "Because she was not allowing me to teach or allowing the children to learn I told her that she was going on a ride. I told her that we had to but a belt on her to keep her safe and so that it would help her stay seated."
Lopez says the "belt" was the tape.
Lopez says that after five minutes the child asked to use the restroom, and the tape was not used again.
Lopez reports that she had met previously with the child's mother to discuss the behavior issues.
Lopez says the child's mother had told Lopez the child is stubborn, and not to let her do whatever she wants.
In one of the reports by Hollinger's principal, the principal states that Lopez told her the child's mother gave her permission to try anything to get the child to sit still.
The principal's interviews with other students indicate they noticed the disruptive behavior too.
Some of the children also described the incident with the tape.
TUSD had previously told KOLD News 13 in an email that the teacher's actions were inappropriate.
The email reads, in part:
"We take these things very seriously. Obviously such behavior is not appropriate or acceptable and is not part of any district protocol. The teacher is not in the classroom pending the outcome of the investigation. The complaint has been referred to district leadership and if it's determined that this incident took place, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. "
In answer to our question today: What now?
The district responded in an email:
"The situation with the teacher was an isolated incident. The district protocols worked and the teacher was removed from the classroom immediately and an investigation launched right away. Due to the outcome of the investigation, this person no longer works for TUSD."
Ilse Lopez' resignation letter says it is effective September 6, 2013.
The child's mother reported the incident with the tape to Tucson Police. No one has been arrested.

Springfield - A man is arrested after police find him at the scene of a burglary alarm.
Police arrested Shawn Gill, 24, at the Northender VFW at 2349 Stockyard Road. Gill allegedly broke in the bar using a screw driver to pry open the front door. VFW told police there was damage to two cash boxes. However, no property was reported missing.
He was taken to the Sangamon County Jail. Upon viewing his arrest photo, it appeared he was the same person who burglarized Dudes Saloon.
Gill is currently in custody at the Sangamon County Jail.

As a member of the Vikings, McCarty featured power, average and even some speed over the last two years. Now he takes those talents to Calhoun Community College in Decatur.
McCarty recently signed to play baseball for the Warhawks beginning next year.
At Walker, head baseball coach Pat Ware wanted McCarty at the plate as much as possible. "We moved him to the two hole this year," Ware said. "The reason was so we could get him more at bats. He's the guy we wanted swinging the bat as often as he could because he makes good contact and puts the ball in play."
McCarty excelled in the second spot in the lineup.
He hit .443 in his senior season with an on-base percentage of .522 and a slugging percentage of .711. He finished with 18 extra-base hits (10 doubles and eight triples), 29 runs, 23 RBIs and struck out just seven times while stealing six bases in seven tries. McCarty also hit an impressive .429 with runner in scoring position.
"He's the one guy in the lineup who could hit for gap-to-gap power," Ware added.
Calhoun coach Mike Burns first got a glimpse at McCarty during a camp at UNA last summer. Since then, Burns stayed in contact with Ware.
"As the season went on, we stayed in touch," Ware said. "When the season was over, Quinton went up there and worked out one more time for coach Burns. After that workout, he called and offered him a scholarship."
McCarty said he first visited the campus during the fall.
"Coach (Burns) said he liked the way I swung the stick," said McCarty, who played at Carbon Hill High School two years before transferring to Walker before his junior season.
He started in the outfield for Ware each of the last two seasons.
"Going to Walker was a great move for me. The coaches helped me improve as player," McCarty said. At Walker, McCarty was one of two seniors on the team, along with Saige Harding.
The Vikings got off to a slow start, but finished strong and earned a spot in the playoffs. Pinson Valley knocked off the Vikings in the opening round, beating Walker in a decisive third-game.
"Quinton did a great job of leading us offensively and doing things to help get the young guys going when he needed to. Ever since he came here, he's earned the respect of his teammates with hard work. He became a good leader for us," Ware added.
McCarty said he will study education at Calhoun and hopes to be a coach when his playing days are done.

Jahri Evans is the highest paid offensive lineman on the Saints roster and it's something that's well-earned. His place on this list is well-earned, too.
He has started 112 games to begin his career, which started as a fourth-round choice by the Saints in 2006. It's the longest streak to open a career in Saints. He has been an All-Pro as well as has been voted into the Pro Bowl in each of the past four season
The Saints ran the ball 82 times behind Evans this past season, the third-highest total in the NFL. According to Pro Football Focus' statistics, he didn't allow a sack this season.
Still, like Bushrod, Evans isn't a vocal leader. It's his silent leadership that makes him invaluable. Younger players can't help but listen to him when he speaks up or watch him on a daily basis because of what he has done in his past.
And the past two offseasons have involved him restructuring his contract to help the Saints find salary cap space. While that's not completely altruistic – he's getting more money up front – it shows he's willing to help the team in any way he can.

IRVING -- Governor Rick Perry's decision to opt out of the expansion of Medicaid leaves a group of Texans in the middle; they make too much to qualify for Medicaid, and not enough to make buying health insurance mandatory.
Those people will continue to be uninsured. They will not face the so-called "penalty tax" for going without medical coverage.
However, many of them say they are the ones being penalized.
"It's everyday people who built this country," Tracy Brown said. "So if you don't take care of us, who's going to take care of the country?"
Brown is among the hundreds of thousands of Texans who would have been eligible for Medicaid if Governor Perry had agreed to accept the expansion.
Right now, she receives health care at the Irving Health Center, one of 12 Parkland clinics that keeps poor and uninsured patients out of the emergency room by providing primary care in the community. Last year, Parkland provided more than $600 million in uncompensated care at the hospital and community clinics.
At the Irving Center, each of the 28 exam rooms are full all day.
"I can't imagine us being more crowded," said Ginger Buschardt, a clinic nurse who said patients start showing up at 5 a.m., even though the clinic doesn't open until 7:30 a.m.
Nurses say more patients want to come, but there isn't enough money to provide more care.
A statement from the hospital system said, "If our state is going to turn away hundreds of millions in federal funds, we are eager to see what our leaders will propose to replace them."
Diane Boehle, whose granddaughter recently lost Medicaid coverage, wonders what she will do now.
"We'd just have to let the bills pile up," Boehle said. "That's all there is to it. There's no way we could pay for it, because we don't have the money."
"It should make anybody mad!" Tracey Brown said.
She, and many of the working poor at this health care clinic, believe Governor Perry has turned his back on them.

UO Beauty:
Makeup artist and photographer Robin Black of Beauty is Boring shows us how to add a pop of color to your look for Spring using new products from our Beauty Shop.
Photography & Makeup by Robin Black
Step One:
Skip the heavy foundation, but moisturize well and apply a tiny bit of Stila Stay All Day Concealer with a small concealer brush to hide any blemishes. Gently pat and roll with your fingertip to blend. Pay special attention to the area around your nostrils, under your eyes and the top of your chin (just below your lower lip). Get a sweet Spring flush by applying Bourjois Pot Blush in Rose De Jaspe directly on the apples of your cheeks. Use whatever is left on your brush to tap a bit on your temples for an overall glow. If you have thick eyebrows like Lily (jealous!), keep them groomed with Anastasia Brow Fix. Simply draw the wax pencil over the entire brow (it's translucent) and brush the hairs into place. If your brows are not '80s Brooke Shields worthy, use the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color to fill in any bare spots. Several coats of Smith's Rosebud Salve will give naked lips plenty of sheen. Tip: For dry lips, lightly pat with a piece of scotch tape then apply a moisturizing treatment and let set for at least five minutes before applying your lipstick.
Step Two:
Start by sweeping the most neutral shade of the Pixi Eye Shadow Palette in Copper Peach over your entire lid and blend to just past your crease, leaving the browbone nude. With the deeper copper-colored eye shadow in the palette, fill in the outer half of the upper and lower lid. Blend with the lighter base color to create an ombre effect from the inner to the outer corner. Apply a tiny bit of the dark brown shade along the upper and lower lash line, stopping about halfway toward the center of the eye. For the finishing touch, use the shimmering gold on the inner corners of each eye. Apply two coats of Stila Volumizing Mascara on the upper lashes and one coat on the bottom. To evenly deposit the product, gently wiggle the brush side to side as you sweep it through your lashes. Tip: Quickly transform this look to party-appropriate by blacking out your waterline with NYX Kohl Kajal Black Eyeliner.
Step Three:
This Lime Crime Velveteen Matte Lipstick in Pink Velvet is a fresh take on Spring's bright lip trend. Blot your lips to remove any excess lip balm and then apply directly out of the tube (skip the lip liner, because you really don't need it with this product!). Keep a pointed cotton swab on hand to clean up the edges. The lipstick comes out of the tube as a liquid but dries to a velvety matte finish. Tip: This lipstick does double duty as a stain. Try painting it on and then immediately blotting it off with a tissue. Apply lip balm and you will have perfectly flushed lips!

A: A glowing medium amber with a red hue and a fair amount of haze. The head quickly dissipates leaving a ring of pink, rocky bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: It's and interesting aroma reminiscent of a gauze blended with an herbal tea. A moderately-strong brett aroma of horsey tartness with wet blanket and an acid sharpness. There is a moderate hibiscus and rose hips, herbal tea aroma as well. As with most sours the malt is faint but not absent.
T: There is a straight forward sour from the fermentation followed by a slightly astringent, herbaceous sourness that the hibiscus and rose hips are bringing and probably from the elderflowers too thought I've never tasted those. There is a delicate honey like flavor but a malt sweetness with a light vanilla flavor blended with the oak character. The balance is fairly tart and the finish is very dry. The aftertaste is herbal and a touch oaky.
M: Light bodied and highly carbonated with a light prickling astringency on the back of the tongue.
O: An interesting and ambitious sour that blend the fermented sour flavors with three sour adjuncts. There is a funky herb aroma that I find a bit off putting however I enjoy this would definitely pick up another bottle. I like dry, tart sours and this defiantly dry and tart.

Holy shit. Pours a nice rosy pinkish brown. Great pink-white head. Laces very well. Aroma is tart and floral in all the best ways. Taste is bright, sweet flowers, tart and citrusy. Light and effervescent on the tongue. Just an amazing sour! I've gotta thank ___ for this beer.

$15 for the 12 ounce bottle(!), purchased at the mother ship in Elmsford, NY a few weeks ago. Bottled in 5/12 written on the label.
Pours near clear, darker rose tinged copper. Light tan head, initially 1-2 inches then rapidly going to a thicker fine bubble film and leaving moderate blobs of slippery lacing.
Sweet fruity nose at first with grape juice, then notes of a damp barnyard emerge and add to the mix.
More fruity then sour initially. As it warms more earthy, musty and barn yardy notes come through.
Moderate sour and tart notes, with slight Brett characteristics of barn yard and sweat socks. Also more fruity grape juice type notes included.
I think this one needs more time in the botle to hopefully let the sour develop some more bite. Unlikely I will ever know if this happens as at this price, I'm very likely one and done here.
Be sure to let this one warm up!

Thanks, cosmicevan!
A hazy dark pink and rose with a quickly forming, though not all too persistent, near white and light pink, big-bubbled head that dies down eventually becoming a thin ring around the top of the beer, eventually leaving large dots of concentrated bubbles down the glass.
Though I had no idea what to expect, this certainly wasn't it. The initial whiff warns of some sourness in my future (not a bad thing!), along with some dark red berries, along with very mild funk, oak, and floral notes, though I don't know if I would have called them "rose hips" myself without some coaching from the bottle. Very nice and unique. As this warms, more and more earthy funk character presents.
The flavor is initially quite sour along with red berries and floral notes. There's a distinct, grassy, barnyard funk element that comes out during the swallow. Unique and quite tasty.
Medium bodied with high carbonation; very drinkable.
Excellent, interesting, floral sour from Captain Lawrence.

Appearance- ruby-orange, hazy, muddled looking with a beautiful bright white head that has a slight pink tinge to it when you catch it at the right angle.
Smell- Slightly funky, floral, perfumey, lactic tartness. The smell is slightly muted and doesn't really allow much really stand out
Taste- Mild tartness followed by some citrus and floral hop notes. The floral notes persist along with some funky, earthy qualities on the finish.
Mouthfeel- Carbonation is on the higher side, mouthfeel is fairly light, finishes clean and drying.
Overall- One of my favorite AWA, and despite the high price tag I keep going back for more bottles. If you can still grab a bottle, I'd go for it.

375ml capped bottle into a Cantillon tulip. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 3 finger frothy light pink head. Great retention. Color is slightly cloudy, pale orange and rose. Striking. Thick lacing with great cling. Perfect.
Nose is Brett, cobwebs, floral. Spicy. Some hay. Nice funk character and moderately aromatic. Clean too.
Opens with just a touch of tartness. Spicy. Floral, big Brett funk. Cobwebs and flour at the end. Accented finish with a bit more sourness emerging. Like the aroma, real clean and light. Real enjoyable.
Light bodied with ample carbonation. Prickly in the mouth and dry going down. Messy finish with a dry aftertaste. Real refreshing and invigorating.
A surprisingly different and impressive offering from Captain Lawrence. This one seems like it'll get a touch more sour with time which is exactly what it needs. Great beer that has a strong potential for development. Worth getting.

The body of the Captain Lawrence Hops n' Roses is ruby/orange with a thin white head that gives way to a less impressive outer ring. Beautiful yet short lived lacing as one swirls the glass. A cloudy and bright sense of beading lends to a lively looking glass of american sour ale. The aroma gives a sweet grapefruit type sensation to the nostrils with only a slightly boozy finish with sour notes ta boot. A healthy mix of smooth citrus flavors meets the front of your palet. The middle doesn't set off any fireworks but does set up nicely for the grand finale. This masterpiece finishes like a prized stallion at the Kentucky Derby with fruity flavors that lead to a dry finish much like that of a fine champagne. This particular brew by Captain Lawrence is sure to please, even at such a steep price.
Enjoy, my friends!

375 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Bottled 5/12.
Appearance - Amber body with a nice white head. Nice consistent foam on the surface. Lasts forever.
Smell - Wow that's unique. Extremely floral. Definitely hoppy. Fruity acidity to it as well. Complex and nice.
Taste - Far less interesting. Hoppy up front. Not really that sour. Sweet malts are prevalent and stronger than the sourness. Floral flavors are strong and a little odd. No bitterness.
Mouthfeel - Surprisingly heavy. Medium low carbonation. Needs to be drier.
Overall - The smell is really fascinating and the taste just isn't. Captain Lawrence continues to be mediocre for me. It is a clean tasting sour though.

Big thanks goes out to the BA who sent me this one as an extra in a gift package recently! Shared this one during our Labor Day tasting with beeruser, funkydelic, sincereNc, and MSquared2! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured a hazy pale reddish pink with a half finger white head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, fruit, funk, and diaper. The flavor was of sweet malt, fruit, funk, and tart cherry. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. Diaper in the aroma!? OH HELL YEAH, this is going be good! It definitely did not disappoint on this fact. Even the appearance on this one was very nice for the style. While it wasn't the most complex brew I have had from the style, everything in this one was spot on and complimented the other almost perfectly. Not sure if much more could be done to improve this one as it was definitely a very pleasant surprise to get as an extra! I suggest you find some this yourself if you have not done so already.

Pours a brownish pink color, almost blood orange. The head is airy with tons of bubbles that slowly settles into a puffy cap.
The aroma is of tart apples and white vinegar. Some musty white grapes and a light floral note. The yeast provides some spice/funk; some light clove and hay.
The taste is tart; green apples and lemon. There is a nice dry fruitiness to the flavor. Mild grape flavor to go along with the oak. Light vinegar. A small amount of clove from the yeast, perhaps a touch of pepper. There is a bright floral note, subtle but blends in well. I don't really pick up much of the hops, aside for some grassy bitterness but that can come from the flowers.
The feel is light dry and crisp. Slightly sweet but with a cleansing tart finish. Refreshing and quite drinkable.
A well done fruity tart brew. Not overly sour which is a huge plus for me.

This one wound up hiding in my beer cellar and I wish I had tried it fresh, and kept a few more for now. Poured into my cognac snifter with a lovely pinkish golden hue. Decent head and a bit of lace. A touch of haze and carbonation in view. Nose is quite lovely with a great combination of bret sourness and pale malt bread and sweetness. Nice oak wafting in. Firm vinous notes and a delicate floral component. Taste is superb with a refreshing tartness that encourages quaffing. Solid oak underpinnings. Light malt core allows the funk and sourness to take center stage. Hibiscus and rose play lightly even at this age. Finish is dry and crisp, almost like a dry hard cider. Some bread crusts linger with faint hops and a touch of medicinal minerals. Feel is well carbonated and light with just enough girth to keep it from water. Just wonderful and delicious.

National Institutes of Health
National Institute of Mental Health
Main Getting Started Teacher's Guide Student Activities About NIH and NIMH
The Science of Mental Illness has several objectives. One is to introduce students to the key concept that mental illnesses have a biological basis and are therefore not that different from other illnesses or diseases. Through inquiry-based activities, students gain a better understanding of what mental illnesses are—and what they are not.
A second objective is to convey to students how science can help us make informed decisions. Scientific evidence helps us understand the world around us and gives us the foundation for improving choices about our personal health and the health of our community.
There is a great deal that scientists do not yet understand about mental illnesses. Continuing scientific research into the causes, treatment, and, ultimately, cures for mental illnesses will benefit everyone who is affected by them, either directly or indirectly. Because the mission of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) includes helping the public understand what is known about mental illnesses, the Institute believes that education is important.
The lessons in this module encourage students to think about the relationships among knowledge, choice, behavior, and human health in this way:
Knowledge (what is known and not known) + Choice = Power
Power + Behavior = Enhanced Human Health
The final objective of this module is to encourage students to think in terms of these relationships now and as they grow older.
One challenge for science teachers is to make science meaningful to students. Middle school students want to see the relevance of the material to their lives. The lessons in this module present fundamental information about mental illnesses. At some time in their young lives, many students have already experienced someone who has a mental illness, whether it be a family member, a friend, a schoolmate, or someone at a public event. These experiences and interactions with someone who has a mental illness can make adolescents (and adults) feel uncomfortable and confused because they don't understand what is going on. Students can apply the knowledge they gain from this module as they encounter new situations and make decisions about their lives.
In addition to learning some basic information about mental illnesses, the lessons ask students to practice several important skills related to scientific inquiry. Students will practice their skills of observation, problem solving, critical thinking, and data analysis. The lessons also offer an opportunity to integrate science with other disciplines, including health and language arts.
"Many of the students didn't know what mental illness was or thought mentally ill people were crazy at the beginning of the unit. By the end, they realized that mental illness was just another disease, they weren't scared of the words mental illness and seemed very accepting of mental illnesses. It really changed their perspective and educated them."—Field-Test Teacher
"The materials were well written for this age level. The materials covered a difficult topic that is not touched upon in most schools. The questions in the materials were probing and led students to new conceptualizations about mental illness."—Field-Test Teacher
"The inquiry-based method of teaching allowed students to discover a great deal on their own. The activities got the students involved and interested in learning the material."—Field-Test Teacher
"Students mentioned that they were amazed that they had learned so much."—Field-Test Teacher
"I liked that I learned that mental illness is not something to look at negatively."—Field-Test Student
"The information was pretty clear. It was interesting and really made you think. I think it is because a lot of it was stuff that could happen to people our age."—Field-Test Student
"It teaches you that people that have mental illness are people just like the rest of society. They can be treated with help and medicine."—Field-Test Student
"It helped me understand mental diseases; it helped eliminate some of the myths about mental illness."—Field-Test Student
The Science of Mental Illness meets many of the criteria by which teachers and their programs are assessed:
In addition, the module provides a means for professional development. Teachers can engage in new and different teaching practices like those described in this module without completely overhauling their entire program. In Designing Professional Development for Teachers of Science and Mathematics, Susan Loucks-Horsley et al.16 write that replacement modules such as this one "offer a window through which teachers get a glimpse of what new teaching strategies look like in action." By experiencing a short-term unit like this one, teachers can "change how they think about teaching and embrace new approaches that stimulate students to problem solve, reason, investigate, and construct their own meaning for the content." The use of supplements like this one can encourage reflection and discussion and stimulate teachers to improve their practices by focusing on student learning through inquiry.

Excavating American soccer fields, uncovering buried layers of sport
On my favorite route, I pass several new soccer fields, even whole soccer complexes that have sprouted near Allen Pond, a longtime recreation area with an artificial pond as its centerpiece. My former team's home field, Blacksox, closer to my parent's home, however, has returned to its former use—baseball—with five groomed ball fields, a small central kiosk/restroom, a big parking lot and a tree-covered running path leading out the back of it and looping through new neighborhoods. I remember it being surrounded by what seemed an impenetrable scrub forest that always threatened to reclaim the open, flat space of dust and grass.
Unbeknownst to my teenage self, Blacksox Field had been the home of two Black sandlot teams, the Mitchellville Tigers and, later, the Washington Blacksox.[1] A vital part of the local African American community, these sandlot teams also sent players to the Negro baseball leagues.[2] When I read the newly posted historical sign on a run a few years ago, a lot of things clicked. Nearby on Route 301, I had noticed that Mills, a roadside bar, frequented mainly by African Americans and gutted several times by flames, had this time been resuscitated with a Negro League memorabilia shop. That is now gone and the building is a church, but the sediments of the past open up on each visit home even as its remnants continue to be consumed by frantic urban/suburban development and my own hazy forgetfulness.
I began to play soccer because my father was one of the founders of the local Boys and Girls Club. It was not a sport that my family or I otherwise knew, although one of our German cousins apparently had played on the national team before he emigrated to the United States. Our neighborhood was new, a Levitt-constructed "community" in the middle of a largely Black farming community that was rapidly disappearing. The older Levitt development to the north, built on a former plantation, already had a Boys Club, but the distance was far enough that parents like mine felt another should be established to the south.
Having six daughters and one son, my father also insisted it should be a "Boys and Girls Club," now the standard moniker, but not so at the time. The first sport we played was softball. I remember losing 18–0 in one game, and I don't remember wondering why I didn't play another season. Then fall came. Our club, our parents, eschewed American football, the staple fall sport of many Boys Clubs at the time. Too expensive, too dangerous and not friendly to girls. Instead, they embraced the "new" sport of soccer, and for the next five years I played on the South Bowie Boys and Girls Club team. My younger siblings followed suit as my father worked with the SBBGC for seven years.
We were too new to be very good. The club was just beginning, searching for fields, for coaches, trying to find its place. Youth soccer in the early 1970s was also just beginning, and the now stereotypical American suburban soccer scene had not yet reached into our neighborhood. And our neighborhood was a bit different. When our family moved to Maryland in 1969 from New Jersey, we were typical New Yorkers who lived in Jersey and were hyper-aware that we had gone below the Mason-Dixon Line. People said "y'all" and we heard "pin" instead of "pen." Blue laws still applied—no stores were open on Sundays. At eight, I learned what the word miscegenation meant and that some people were really opposed to it.
Prince George's County was still predominantly white at that time but had a significant African American population, especially closer to the D.C. line. And the scars of the riots in Washington in the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination were still fresh and very visible as we drove down East Capitol Street to the Mall for our regular Smithsonian visits.
Race and racism were palpable, but puzzling, with my family's own mixture (Peruvian, German, Canadian/Irish/English) not quite fitting anywhere—except in our enclave. The northern part of our town was reserved for whites. Segregation was officially over, but not that long gone. While our new development was predominantly white, if Blacks, Asians or Latinos (and my family was the only one vaguely Latino at the time) wanted to buy into this housing stock, the development real-estate agents ever so gently (or maybe not) directed them to this new development in what had been Mitchellville, the mostly Black farming community. Some of the adults came from farming backgrounds (my mother, my Girl Scout leader); some came from the cities (my dad, my soccer coach). But all the families were now solidly middle-class, mostly drawing paychecks from government jobs.

Constitutional Law
Rap group Insane Clown Posse sues feds over claim that fans are gang members
Posted Jan 8, 2014 1:50 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
With the help of a civil rights organization, a Michigan-based rap group has sued the feds over a government claim that its fans are gang members.
The Insane Clown Posse filed suit Wednesday in federal court in Detroit, citing an "unwarranted and unlawful decision" by the FBI to describe the rap group's fans, known as Juggalos, as hybrid gang members in a 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment report, according to the Detroit Free Press and the New York Times (reg. req.).
Four fans also are listed as plaintiffs in the case and claim they have been harassed by authorities. The Department of Justice and FBI are named as defendants.
The suit, filed by the band's lawyers and attorneys for the Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, seeks a court order reversing the FBI determination in the 2011 report that Juggalos are a gang and requiring the FBI to purge its files and call a halt to its alleged investigations of fans.
Government agencies did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the newspaper says.
The Insane Clown Posse also sued the FBI in 2012 seeking documents that the bureau had used to reach the conclusion that Juggalos are "a loosely organized hybrid gang." Federal authorities filed a motion in August to dismiss the lawsuit, the New York Times reported.

Parent's anger as all three school choices are refused (From Bicester Advertiser)

Parent's anger as all three school choices are refused
6:30am Thursday 24th April 2014 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
MORE than 230 children have failed to get a place at any of their chosen primary schools.
Oxfordshire County Council last week told parents which schools they had allocated for their children, saying 89.09 per cent had won places at their first choice option.
Yesterday it told the Oxford Mail that 3.11 per cent of the 7,545 applications – 235 – had failed to be placed in any of the three choices given.
That is up on the 2.63 per cent of children from last year who missed out.
However, there were an extra 361 children overall seeking places this year, so while the number of children missing out rose by 46, the number who did win a place at a school of their choice also rose by 315.
Tracy Simpson's son Luke did not get any of his three choices near their home in Risinghurst, including his catchment area school Sandhills.
Instead he has been placed at a free school, Tyndale, two-and-a-half miles away in Cowley.
Ms Simpson, 36, a nurse at the John Radcliffe Hospital, will now have to get Luke to school before going to work each day.
She said: "I got my application in on time, I even rang in advance to check everything was in order.
"To get my child to school in Cowley then get to work on time is just impossible.
"I'm not happy that it's a free school either – Cowley isn't even my community."
Although the family do not live in its catchment, they went for Windmill Primary as the first choice. Sandhills was the second choice, but the council said its 30 places were oversubscribed with 53 people putting it down as their first choice.
Council spokesman Owen Morton said because of this it had limited successful applicants to those living just 0.37s miles away. The Simpsons lived 0.72 miles, he said.
Windmill primary saw 108 first choice preferences competing for its 90 places, and St Andrews, Ms Simpson's third preference, saw 55 first preferences compete for its 30 places.
Cabinet member for education, Melinda Tilley, said the council is tackling demand for primary school places.
Mark Cooper wanted his daughter Summer, three, to go to the same school as her big sister Poppy – St James CofE, near their home in Blackbird Leys.
Instead, she has been given a place at Our Lady's Catholic Primary – his second choice – more than half an hour's walk away in Cowley.
Mr Cooper, 37, a full-time dad, said: "We thought she would be in the same school as Poppy.
"My partner Tansy works from 9am, and I can't be in two places at once.
The council is creating new places at 20 schools in the county. Mr Morton said: "Where schools receive more applications than they have places available, this sometimes means not all children applying from within the catchment area can be offered a place.
"When this happens priority is given to those children with an older sibling already at the school and then to those living closest to the school.
"The majority of families got they news they were hoping for and that hasn't been the case in many other parts of the country."

I thought that Tyndale school said that their parents/children would be walking to school to negate traffic problems for a school without any proper vehicular access. I can't see how Tracey Simpson will be able to get Luke there without driving.
Parents can often be seen cycling with their children in little towed buggies or ride-a-longs along the cycle way. When you reach BMW, there is access to take you through to Barracks lane.
The Greens & Republicans would very much approve!

One of my dog training students and I have fallen into the habit of watching people's reactions to her cute, well-mannered little dogs as we train our way past them on the sidewalk. When someone smiles, we usually agree, "Yep, she can come to our (imaginary) party." When they scowl, they often get a, "Not likely."
How much fun it was to receive news of a wine tasting party at Arlington's on the evening of June 15 ust for members of the Arlington Dog Owners Group (A-DOG). Surely everyone at that party will be the sort who'd smile rather than scowl at the sight of two cute dogs showing off their best manners. These are my kind of people, to be sure.
You have to be a to be a member to attend, though, so if you've got a dog and haven't yet joined A-DOG, this is the perfect time to do it. You can sign up right online through the A-DOG website for just $20 per household. A-DOG is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so donations and membership dues are deductible to the full amount allowed by law. Still need more reasons to join?
A recent letter to Arlington dog owners from A-DOG also listed these member benefits:
- Discounts from participating businesses for full (paid) members.
- Regular updates on dog-related issues.
- Opportunities to share in community outreach programs such as the A-DOG booth at Town Day as well as an A-DOG team for the MSPCA-Angell Walk for Animals.
- Other social, educational and service events during the year.
- Opportunities to meet and socialize with other dog owners.
- A-DOG is a strong community advocacy organization, offering you opportunities to provide your input into off-leash recreation and other dog-related issues—to forever change the landscape for dog owners in our community!
This all sounds good, but what, you ask, does A-DOG actually do? In the organization's own words, it was established in 2008 with the following mission:
- Advocating for the rights and interests of Arlington dog owners.
- Promoting responsible dog ownership, emphasizing respect for the rights and interests of neighbors and the community as well as the welfare of our companion animals.
- Educating the community about dog behavior and other factors influencing canine-human interactions.
- Working to promote safe, healthy recreational venues for dogs on and off-leash in Arlington, enabling responsible dog owners to exercise and socialize their dogs.
Personally, I find the commitment and energy that the A-DOG board of directors pours into this mission just astounding.
I witnessed them work tirelessly and without complaint toward helping Arlington dog owners earn the right to off-leash privileges during limited hours in most Arlington town parks with the passage of Article 36 at Town Meeting in Spring of 2010, a change from our previously super-restrictive leash-law. A-DOG now works with the Parks and Recreation Commission to educate the community about the rules for these off-leash dog activities.
Their work doesn't end there. A-DOG says they will "continue to work with the Town to establish and maintain reasonable laws and regulations relating to dog ownership." A-DOG is also participating in the Dog Park Task Force created by the Park and Recreation Commission as plans are drawn up for Arlington's first fenced "Dog Recreation Area."
It isn't all about off-leash freedoms, though. A-DOG works to help the community with plans such as donating "a second Microchip Scanner to the Town so lost dogs can be reunited with their owners even on weekends, when our animal control officer is not on duty." In addition, A-DOG "works with the Parks and Recreation Commission, community groups, local businesses and the schools to help educate the community regarding dog ownership and dog/human behavior."
There are so many reasons I think it's worthwhile to support this organization that I can't fit them all in! If you're an Arlington dog owner and are not already a member of A-DOG, I'd encourage you to visit their website at www.arlingtondogowners.org to explore whether becoming a member and supporter of the group is right for you. And if you are a member by the evening of June 15, I look forward to clinking glasses with you at the A-DOG member wine tasting party at Menotomy Beer and Wine!

The new world order: SoCal style
My entry into the world of barter — the new world order referenced above — is the result of a perfect storm consisting of (1) a broken Pottery Barn market umbrella, (2) my ridiculously fruitful avocado trees and (3) the miracle that is Craigslist.
The umbrella is a delightful red and blue paisley that goes so well with my newly red house. I got the umbrella at the end of the season last year for only $39 plus shipping. So for about $50 I got an umbrella that originally cost $129 plus shipping.
After I enjoyed its shade on my back patio for a few months, we had some unusual wind events (global climate change?), and one day it went flying in the wind, landed on its side and ended up with two broken spokes.
I pondered those broken wooden spokes for a few months. They have hinges in the middle, and the spokes are broken there, so it's not just a matter of glue and screws. I could not send this umbrella off to the landfill, but neither could I fix it myself nor find an umbrella repair shop nearby.
Finally it occurred to me that someone I might find on Craigslist could fix it, and I soon realized a big basket of organic avocados of uncommonly good taste (according to many witnesses) would be the perfect barter bait.
I posted my proposal yesterday with photos of the broken umbrella and a close-up of the fruit ripening in the sun. Within 24 hours I had two responses, and I chose the one that sounded most promising. I'm dropping the umbrella off to the guy today, with a bag of avocados as a "down payment."
I'll let you know how, and if, it works out.
Have you ever bartered? Would you recommend it to others?

I've been working on my family history off and on for about 30 years. Now that I am retired I spend much more time researching. Most of the time it is slow going since there seem to be many "mysteries" in my family, especially on my maternal side! I love visiting cemeteries to take pictures of gravesites for others, especially when I hit a roadblock in my own research. It gives me a lot of satisfaction knowing that I am helping others in their searches, and find most cemeteries are serene and beautiful. I also try to take "extra" photos when I'm out and add Memorials in case someone might be searching for them. When I add a Memorial I do a brief search of local obituaries and census records to add what information is available. If anyone would like me to correct, delete or transfer ownership of a Memorial I've added, please let me know. All is done with great respect.
June 1, 2012....I think it is time to update my profile...I have not been able to go out and help take photos the last couple of years. We moved from Indiana to Michigan then to Hawaii. While in Hawaii, my husband became disabled and I have become his caretaker. We have just recently moved back to Florida to be near family and friends. We are settling in and putting things back in order. I am hoping to be able to go out and take more photos soon. I am now trying to go through a backlog of requests for information and transfers. Please forgive me for taking so long to attend to these. I apologize. I know how important family information is to all of us. If you feel I may have overlooked your request, please contact me again and I will try to help. Thanks for your patience. Jan

Henry Rogers is one of my Great, Great Grandfathers. I'm descended from his 2nd wife, Martha Caroline Rogers. Henry was actually married briefly to Amanda Carl who died in childbirth as did their son Albert. I'm not sure where they're buried but they were living in Marion Twp, Livingston Co at the time. Henry & Martha's first two children may have died very young because nobody's been able to find anything more about them than their birth and I think a census record. Adelia & Rama Minnick were sisters. Adelia did marry again after Henry passed but was buried by him.
Henry's death certificate states he passed on 09 Dec 1916, not 19 Dec 1916.
Henry & Martha's son, Willard Rogers, is buried on the other side of the cemetary, SE of the mausoleum. The family takes up most of the row as there is Emma & Willard Rogers, Florence & Otto Pierson, George & Hannah Pierson, Alfred & Sarah Vogt, Ed & Laura Nordman. Florence & Otto are my Grandparents and their parents are on either side of them. Alfred & Sarah are Otto's brother & sister in law. Laura is Alfred & Sarah's daughter. Emma's parents, Charles & Mary Worden are on the south side wall of the mausoleum.
Just wanted to not the corrections for you. Thanks for the pic. I'd taken headstone pictures at Greenwood before I left Michigan but after going through 2 rolls of film, I found more of my family than I'd realized were there!

A satirical take on Town of Hempstead supervisor Kate Murray's inaction on the Nassau Coliseum site.
The County plan to replace the Islanders' Nassau Coliseum and keep them on Long Island is promising, but has hurdles that need to be cleared by Aug. 1.
The effort between the New York Islanders and Nassau County to keep the Islanders where they belong started back in 2003. Given the financial position of the County, the Islanders developed a plan to fund the transformation of the Coliseum. This plan, which came to be known as the Lighthouse, included additional development necessary to fund the construction and other expense of a new home for the Islanders. While we have not yet had the time to review the "new vision" just released by Supervisor Murray and the Town of Hempstead for the redevelopment of the Coliseum site, it does not appear to achieve the goals of the County and the developer. Without this, the Town of Hempstead's "new vision" looks to be economically unviable for both the developer and owner of the site.The full joint statement from the Lighthouse Development Group and Nassau County Exec. Ed Mangano, preserved here for posterity and the what-not.
A round-up of coverage from the week that was at Islanders prospect mini-camp, with a dose of Lighthouse Project angst for good measure.
Alternate plan was supposed to be out by the end of June. Murray is blowing smoke.
I linked these in the game recap, but if you missed them, here are three interesting and complementary takes on the likely next development in the Lighthouse Project saga (after Charles Wang's pre-emptive mini-strike on air last night): Hockey Independent, plus Islanders Point Blank, and Let There be Light(house). Update: Sure enough, Kate Murray plans a press conference Monday a.m., announcing scaled-down zoning plans.
"And finally, know this: Brooklyn is very much in play. Queens is very much in play, although it's a close second to Brooklyn now. Suffolk is not a serious option. The Islanders will not leave the New York metropolitan area during this generation or the next one.">>from Chris Botta's latest assessment of the Lighthouse Project. Just thought that was worth capturing and sharing with followers of other teams. Here's hoping...
