|Prepping for British Open unlike any other major
|Thursday, July 18, 2013 12:25 AM
Associated Press
GULLANE, Scotland — The practice round schedule posted each day at Muirfield is not the only way to determine how players are getting ready for the British Open.
Johnson Wagner's name was on the tee sheet at St. Andrews over the weekend.
Geoff Ogilvy could be found on the other side of the country, on links courses like Turnberry, Royal Troon and Western Gailes. Justin Rose was at North Berwick. So were Bubba Watson and Luke Donald, who got in plenty of golf along the Firth of Forth the week before the British Open.
It's not unusual for players to take off from their regular tours a week before a major to prepare. What's different about the British Open — isn't everything? — is that preparations aren't limited to the course they will be playing.
"You can prepare for the U.S. Open on the range," Ogilvy said Wednesday. "But you can only prepare for The Open on the course. And it doesn't necessarily have to be the course you're playing. The seaside courses here, they're the only courses with turf like this, with sand like this. There's something different about the seaside wind in Scotland. … You can fly to Shanghai or Abu Dhabi and work on what you need at home. But you can't work on what you need at home until you get here."
Tiger Woods, a 3-time Open champion, arrived Sunday morning and has played nine holes a day. There was a time he would leave home a week early and head to Ireland with Mark O'Meara and David Duval, both former Open champions, and play the links courses there.
Woods loves to recall his first experience with links golf in 1995 as the U.S. Amateur champion. He played the Scottish Open at Carnoustie, then drove down the North Sea shoreline to St. Andrews for the British Open.
"I absolutely fell in love with it, to be able to dink a 5-iron from 150 yards and bump it on the ground, or vice versa — have 260 out and hit a 4-iron and it bounces over the green. That, to me, is pretty neat," Woods recalled. "Because we play everywhere around the world — an airborne game where you have to hit the ball straight up in the air and make it stop. Here it's different. A draw will go one distance, a fade will go another, and they're so dramatic. And I just absolutely love it."
True, adjusting to links golf can just as easily take place at Muirfield, where the British Open starts today. Defending champion Ernie Els came down from Castle Stuart and has stayed at Muirfield, wrapping up his final practice round Wednesday just after 6 p.m.
But there are no tricks at Muirfield. There are hardly any blind shots. Most of the bunkers are in plain view from the tee. That's one of the reasons that Muirfield is a favorite of so many players, who use words like "fair" and "honest test," which aren't always heard on other links courses.
"I think of all the Open venues, it's probably one of the least quirky ones," Donald said Wednesday. "It's quite straightforward. Obviously with the weather conditions, it's playing firm and fast. It's going to be about controlling your golf ball this week. And the weather looks good. The course is set up just the way the R&A would like it. It's bouncy. It's a little bit of a breeze out there. Firm conditions are a good protector of the golf course and we certainly have that this week."
The forecast is dry for the week, with perhaps some mist on the weekend. Even though officials had the course just the way they wanted it early in the week, they have turned on a few sprinklers in the evening to keep it from getting overcooked.
It all starts to unfold this morning when Peter Senior of Australia hits the opening tee shot.
Among the early starters are Els, Rose and Brandt Snedeker in one group, with Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and Hideki Matsuyama a few groups behind. The afternoon groups include Woods, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen, along with Masters champion Adam Scott, Donald and Matt Kuchar.
Tom Watson won at Muirfield in 1980 by four shots over Lee Trevino, which was a rarity in one respect. That was the only Open in the last six times at Muirfield that golf's oldest championship was decided by more than one shot. Els won in a record 4-man playoff the last time in 2002.
Muirfield is seen as a thorough examination that requires solid contact in any weather, which might explain why only the best players seem to win here — Els, Nick Faldo twice, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Walter Hagen, Trevino.
Snedeker tied the 36-hole record at the British Open last year at 130 — the same score Faldo had at Muirfield in 1992 — and eventually tied for third. That was at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
What happens from here is difficult to project. Woods is trying to end a zero-for-16 drought in the majors. Rose is trying to become only the seventh player to win the U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. Els believes he has a chance to win again, which would put him in rare company — Old Tom Morris in 1872 is the only other player in his 40s to successfully defend his title in a major.
Park, top field ready to go low at Marathon LPGA
SYLVANIA — Gone is the Jamie Farr name atop the marquee.
Even though it's now the Marathon Classic for the first time in its 28 years — and the actor who played the cross-dressing Corporal Klinger from MASH has stepped into the background — a major drawing card for some of the LPGA's finest players remains unchanged.
"When I first came here to Highland Meadows, I thought this was a tough golf course," Inbee Park said. "But it seemed like everybody was scoring so low out here that I couldn't keep up with them."
When the No. 1 player in the world — and winner of the first three women's major professional championships this year — thinks she's being lapped by so many birdie-happy adversaries, that's saying something.
The course in suburban Toledo, not far from the Michigan-Ohio state line, has been the site of some of the best rounds in LPGA Tour history.
A 20-year-old rookie named Se Ri Pak put up a 61 in 1998 while winning her first of a record five titles at the course. Paula Creamer had a 60 in the first round five years ago to cruise to a victory. And rookie So Yeon Ryu shot a final-round 62 to come off the pace to win last year.
Over the last six years, the winners are a combined 103-under par.
Creamer followed up her career-low 11-under 60 with a ho-hum 65 and then coasted to a 2-shot victory.
The galleries have become used to players going low. Maybe too used to it.
Locked in a 4-way, all-South Korean tie for first heading into the final round a year ago, Ryu pulled away with a string of birdies.
Park recognizes that this might not be exactly the track to fit her game. She believes she is at her best on courses where par is a good score, not where fans are disappointed by one.
She's in the latter camp. Still, she has improved every year she's played in Northwestern Ohio going from a missed cut to a tie for 25th, to sixth to a third-place finish last year.
This year's field includes seven of the top 10 and 17 of the top 25 on the LPGA money list, including Yani Tseng, Na Yeon Choi and Angela Stanford. Also on hand are teenage phenoms Lexi Thompson and amateur Lydia Ko.
The tournament also serves as one of the last chances to pick up precious points before the Solheim Cup teams are announced after the Women's British Open at St. Andrew's on Aug. 1-4. The Solheim will be played Aug. 15-18 at Colorado Golf Club.
Many will also be watching St. Andrew's to see if Park can collect a fourth consecutive major.
Like most events on every tour, this week's tournament has had several sponsor changes over the years. But Farr's name was always prominent. After last year, when the 89-year-old actor heard that the oil company from nearby Findlay was interested, he discreetly left the stage.
Stacy Lewis, the No. 2-ranked player in the world and who is sponsored by Marathon, helped close the deal.
Born in Toledo and usually trailed by a large group of friends and family wearing "Lew Crew" T-shirts, Lewis was participating in a Marathon corporate outing a year ago when the company's CEO, Gary Heminger, surprised her by asking, "Why should I sponsor an LPGA tournament?"
"I must have given him a pretty good response because we're at this point here today," she replied.
Now if she can just figure out how to out-birdie everybody else in the field.
Kirk, Love III headline Sanderson Farms field
MADISON, Miss. — Former tournament champion Chris Kirk and 20-time PGA Tour winner Davis Love III highlight the field at the Sanderson Farms Classic at Annandale Golf Club.
The 4-day tournament — which is played at the same time as the British Open — begins this morning at the 7,202-yard course that has hosted the event since 1994 and served as a launching point for several young golfers' careers.
Because most of the game's biggest stars are across the ocean competing in the British Open, Annandale gives others a more realistic shot at winning on the PGA Tour.
Six former tournament winners are in this year's field, including the 28-year-old Kirk who won in 2011.
Last year's winner, Scott Stallings, earned a spot in this week's British Open.
Five former major winners are also in the field, including Love III, Lee Janzen, David Toms, Shaun Micheel and Mike Weir.
Love III, 49, has been in the top 100 on the PGA money list for 27 straight years, going back to 1986. That streak is in danger — he is currently 158th — after he missed several months because of neck surgery earlier this year.
As is usually the case during mid-summer in Mississippi, the forecast calls for plenty of heat, humidity and the chance of thunderstorms.
If the course gets wet, Annandale's greens can turn very forgiving and that's led to low scores in the past. Stallings shot 24 under last year to capture the victory — beating Jason Bohn by two strokes — by shooting back-to-back 64s in the second and third rounds.
The highest ranked players in this year's field are Charles Howell III and Kirk, who are No. 21 and No. 26 in the FedEx Cup standings, respectively.
The tournament has a $3 million purse, with $540,000 going to the winner.
Zachary Olsen leads Southern Amateur
THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Zachary Olsen eagled his final hole for an 8-under 64 and a one-stroke lead Wednesday after the first round of the Southern Amateur.
The 19-year-old Olsen, from Memphis, Tenn., will be a freshman at Oklahoma State.
Georgia Tech senior Ricky Werenski and 40-year-old Las Vegas developer Kevin Marsh were tied for second on the Nicklaus Course at The Club at Carlton Woods.
The winner will receive a spot next year in the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Stone beats medalist Rank in Public Links
LORTON, Va. — Joshua Stone beat qualifying medalist Garrett Rank on Wednesday in the first round of match play in the U.S. Amateur Public Links, topping the Canadian with a bogey on the first extra hole.
Stone, from Stockton, Calif., got into the match play field in a playoff Wednesday morning.
Playing in his first USGA championship, the 23-year-old Stone will face 51-year-old Sean Knapp of Oakmont, Pa., in the second round at Laurel Hill Golf Club.
Knapp beat Jon Trasamar of Minneapolis with a chip-in par on the 19th hole after squaring the match with a long eagle putt on the 18th.
The tournament is limited to players who don't hold privileges at any course that doesn't extend playing privileges to the general public. The 36-hole championship match is Saturday.

- FantasticDowntownJonVIPDined on 8/27/2014What can I say? By far the best steakhouse (and more) in the DC area - downtown location is awesome too. Pricey but well worth the dining experience. Had dinner at the Tyson's location mid-week. Food was excellent, the waiter treated us like kings, the place was jammed. Fantastic experience through and through.Special Features:
- Wonderful Anniversay ExperiencerichkauzDined on 8/26/2014This is the second time we have come to the Capital Grille to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were seated at a table festively decorated and with a best wishes card signed by the staff on duty that evening. The food was outstanding -- we both chose filets that were prepared to perfection. The wine was excellent -- thanks to the advice of our server Jack. He was attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The complimentary dessert of chocolate and cheesecake was the perfect end to a perfect meal. We will be back for #48 next year and probably before.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always consistent and goodKimvaDined on 8/21/2014We have never been disappointed at Capital Grille -- food and service has always been excellent. We love it when they have generous pour promotion.Special Features:
- Very classy placeDktran31VIPDined on 8/20/2014Celebrated my mom's birthday here. I noted it in my reservation, they put small decorations on our table, the wait staff told my mom happy birthday and they even gave us complimentary dessert! Service was excellent! Food was superb as well. We ordered the dry-aged 14 oz ribeye ($58) and Chilean sea bass. The steak was terrific. The sea bass was the biggest piece I've ever seen, also the most expensive at $44. We also had sautéed spinach ($12) as a side. Great service and food and classy environment, AND complimentary valet! One thing that I did not like was the fact that they use electronic candles.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good service - average foodOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/20/2014We were disappointed with the food. The mozzarella on the caprese sale was incredibly dry. The sea bass was so-so. One steak was good but the sliced filet minion had loads of salt on it. The sides were good.
- Thank you, Generous Pour...sparker1077VIPDined on 8/17/2014My dad and I went for restaurant week / the generous pour and we loved every minute of it. Great food and great wine at a great price.Special Features:
- Outstanding food and serviceMikeDined on 8/17/2014There were five of us and we enjoyed our meals. The portions were a good size and the service was excellent. I started with the lobster bisque, which was very thick and had many pieces of lobster. The others each had steak, but I had one of the specials: Salmon Oscar. There was a lot of crab on top of the salmon, and I enjoyed my meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious Filet MignonYum703Dined on 8/15/2014Won't go too much in detail about food because I'm not a food critic, I have my own acquired taste but the menu offers just about variety of options if you're not a huge steak lover. I'm not head over heals about steak but the Bon-In Kona Crusted T-Bone was just tough enough with juice in every bite. The filet mignon was so easy to cut thru and cooked just how I requested (medium with just enough pink in the middle... It was pink). The service was superb. I do recommend dressing up but I saw people wearing tasteful casual wear and got by. It's really dim lighting, very intimate but is saw big groups of 5-7. Love the decor, fits well and not over the top. Dessert... Cheesecake and the flour less chocolate cake was on point after a heavy mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MRoldanDined on 8/15/2014The food was great and the service was excellent. The best place to go during restaurant week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Capital Grille always pleases!TagalongDined on 8/15/2014Once again, The Capital Grille made a very special occasion of our evening, as I took my son and his friends to a special dinner to celebrate their college plans for the coming year! Wonderful food! Great service! Excellent Restaurant Week menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent service, great foodNishaDined on 8/15/2014Our server made our night. Even though it was restaurant week, he was willing to make exceptions for some of the items on the list. He also brought me out some sorbet when I told him I was allergic to shellfish, but the table had ordered a shrimp appetizer. All in all, food was good, but I would go back for the service alone. :)Special Features:
- Just excellent!DCgirlVIPDined on 8/15/2014Five ofus enjoyed Restaurant Week at the Tyson's location and it was a very generous selection and regular menu portions - really wonderful steaks and the mashed potatoes were out of this world. Will definitely be back to try other wonderful-looking selections on the menu!Special Features:

- reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/15/2014We visited the Capital Grille for lunch during restaurant week. The clam chowder was very good but could have been served hotter. The sirloin steak salad was very tasty as were the desserts. Unfortunately, we had a small surprise at the end. The price of the wine on the bill was double what we expected to pay - apparently they provided us with an out of date menu where we ordered a wine that they no longer carry but that has a similar name to one that they did carry at twice the cost. The waitress quickly adjusted the bill but we felt awkward about having to mention it. The waitress by the way was wonderful.Special Features:
- sandyVIPDined on 8/14/2014Great restaurant. The best food ever!! They made my birthday a special event with the table décor and the 2 desserts!!! The best.Special Features:

- Seafood and steaks! what else?KlassmannDined on 8/12/2014We had a great dining night at The Capital Grille and the restaurant week menu gave us the opportunity to taste the amazing clam chowder, the perfect mignon steak wiht jumbo shrimps and the incredible cheesecake for dessert! They have great wines in the place also!Special Features:
- Great waitstaff, amazing foodEmilyS352Dined on 8/12/2014My boyfriend and I came here for restaurant week, which is a great deal. Our waitress Karyn was friendly and attentive. I opted to pay a $3 up-charge for the lobster bisque as my appetizer. There were lots of huge chunks of lobster in it, and I was not disappointed. The filet mignon was cooked a perfect medium rare. Creamy mashed potatoes and crisp green beans on the side. The chocolate dessert was rich and creamy. A great treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Romantic dinnerROMANCEDined on 8/2/2014Excellent meal! Incredible steak and side dishes. We enjoyed a nice bottle of champagne and wonderful desert too. The wait or was very attentive and gave great recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerSteakloverDined on 8/1/2014My family took me to Capital Grill for a birthday steak and the restaurant did not disappoint in any way. The steaks - whatever you chose - are always cooked perfectly, and for a lover of Calamari, you will find none better than here. I have it EVERY time I am there. It is also very nice that when you pick a restaurant for a special occasion dinner, they actually attempt to make it special. It is only little things like table decoration and a personal note, but it shows that they actually pay attention to the occasion. We are fortunate to have many fine steak houses in the Washington metro area, and you can have a fine meal at any one of them. However, when you factor in the ambiance, service, and noise level, Capital Grill wins.Special Features:
- Excellent Evening!SusanneDined on 7/24/2014We celebrated a friend's 70th birthday. Our meal was wonderful. One of our group required a gluten free meal. Our server, Marcello, was very educated on what the restaurant had to offer and had wonderful suggestions. The complimentary champagne and dessert for the birthday boy was a wonderful treat and it was only topped by the presentation of a photo of the event at the end of our meal. The meal and evening couldn't have been more festive. It was an A+++ experience! Thank you Capital Grille Tysons.Special Features:
- It's a keeper!SamWVIPDined on 7/23/2014Welcoming, thriving atmosphere; very good food; attentive service. It's a keeper!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingAussiedoodleDined on 7/21/2014Capital Grille is one of my favorite restaurants. I was here for lunch. The seared tuna which I ordered on top of a Caesar salad was nothing like the dinner appetizer. It arrived ice cold, completely raw, chewy and tasteless. The shrimp on my friend's salad was also bland and did not taste fresh. I have never been to this location before and I'm not so sure I will try again. Very disappointing.Special Features:
- Not as great an experience as...OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014the Capital Grill in downtown DC. The noise level was much too high for a special night out at a very expensive restaurant. Nevertheless, the food was outstanding and Walter our server was excellent. Recommend not rushing through explaining the specials, however. If the servers can't explain everything in a timely manner without rushing, then the chef needs to downsize the number of specials being offered.Special Features:
- Lunch meetingsPattiDined on 7/17/2014This is the perfect place for lunch meetings. Its my go too place and people are always happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!DCFood87Dined on 7/16/2014We had a great night at the Capital Grille. We were celebrating a brithday, when we got there the table was decorated. We ordered a bottle of champagne recomended by the waiter. My boyfriend got raw oysters to start and myelf lobster bisque, both were delicious! We each ordered a great steak and shared lobster mac and cheese. Dinner was complete with a special birthday dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/12/2014This was our first time at this restaurant. While my husband loved the Delmonico steak entree he had, I don't eat red meat and had the Breast of Chicken Confit. The chicken on my plate was certainly not a breast, there were two legs which were a bit dry and overcooked, very heavily seasoned. The calamari, while tasty, was way too spicy due to the fact they were smothered in peppers. For dessert we tried the seasonal berries in vanilla cream...I guess we were both expecting a nice thick whipped cream topping the berries, but instead it was a sour tasting liquid sitting in the bottom of the bowl. We will not be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/12/2014We always enjoy Capital Grille. Angela is great and we particularly like the wine taste that goes on in July - great idea!Special Features:

- We love Angela!SCGirlVIPDined on 7/10/2014My husband and I had a fantastic weeknight date night thanks to Angela! She was very attentive and delightful.

(June 4, 2008)
Last Tuesday, Karen Anderlini had no idea that she would be the first in the world to win tickets to a gold medal figure skating event at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
"I scratched the figure skates and thought, 'What is that?' and turned it over and started reading, and was like 'No way,'" she said.
Anderlini won the tickets by scratching a scratch-and-win ticket that was given to her and her husband by friends in April.
She was presented with the tickets last week by her favourite figure skater, Olympian and former World Champion Victor Kraatz at the Burnaby 8 Rinks.
Not only, did she pick up a pair of tickets to a figure skating gold medal event she also won $1,000 in cash. Anderlini has chosen to bring her husband along with her to the event.

Every company hopes that it offers a dynamic and inspirational workplace which employees would love. Most employees -- at least on Mondays! -- turn up to work, because not turning up is not an option. But what if it were?
Many organisations have experimented with the concept of flexi-time and remote working. However, apart from a handful of exceptions, most have failed to eliminate the 'office' completely. Somehow, the concepts of 'work' and 'workplace' seem inextricably entwined. An office, for most of us, is more than a place to work -- it is a work enabler. Or is it?
This week's question: How important is an office -- a place where teams can be physically together -- for effective work output? If the technology allows it, can an 'office' be rendered irrelevant?

VIDEO: Forest Green boss Ady Pennock names his England World Cup starting XI for the clash against Italy on Saturday in Brazil
Updated 11:33am Thursday 12th June 2014 in News By Ashley Loveridge, Sports editor
ADY Pennock has named his England World Cup team for the opening clash against Italy in Brazil on Saturday.
Ady has controversially left out Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge for Manchester Utd's Wayne Rooney as the lone front-man and has also opted for Manchester Utd defender Phil Jones ahead of Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson.
Talented Everton midfielder Ross Barkley will sit just infront of the central defensive partnership of Liverpool duo Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson with Raheem Sterling on the right of Ady's chosen team.

NFU Urges President to Include Farm Bill in Deal to Avoid Fiscal Cliff
What happens with the farm bill comes down to what happens with the fiscal cliff - according to many ag experts. National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson sent a letter to President Obama on Thursday saying severe impacts will be felt by farmers, consumers and agribusiness in early 2013 if a new farm bill is not passed. Johnson says the costs of a short-term extension of a farm bill will be high - and the work to pass an extension is just as great as the work to pass a five-year farm bill. U.S. farm and food policy supports 16-million jobs across the nation, helps farmers manage their risk, feeds the nation, provides important conservation and energy programs and invests in the rural economy - according to Johnsons - all of which are in jeopardy without a farm bill.

text: Hey guys, i just wanted to ask about The recent Modric reports where he is linked with numerous Premier League clubs. If you haven't read about this rumors you can catch up on them here or here and as these are the most "reliable" sources I completely "trust" them. The reports claim that he is struggling but from a few highlights I have seen in their games he still looked like the same traitorous through ball genius to me. I really feel scared if those "Highly probable" moves do come about as they are predicted and he ends up at our beloved town neighbors Sucksea or Man United which i really do not want to see. The only thing we can overpower United in is Midfield as their strike force (Insert heavy orgasm here) is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and i feel our defences could be even if we hope that Vidic doesn't even make the bench due to that little incident with his knee against Liverpool. I won't even mind if it for precautionary reasons but it would be a jolly good game to watch with Vidic overlooking from the stands. If our little Croat comes back to us in the devil red I would want to go away and hide my face under the blanket. He just needs to do his thing while RVP and Rooney and hernandez and welbeck finish them off. If we goes to Chelsea, we are just scr***d aren't we? Now that they have Ba and are also linked with aafroini, what is actually going to happen? Is this just media speculation or is "there is no smoke without fire" saying justified? The floor's all yours people.

4.83/5 rDev +22.6%
Poured into a Snifter
A: Pours a deep brown, like a glass of apple cider. There is no clarity through the beer. A half inch of head sits on top of the beer, and once it dissipates it leaves a small ring around the edges of the glass.
S: Lots of scents: Malt, Peat, Toffee, Carmel, Vanilla, Oak.
T: Oak up front with a touch of Peat. Good malt backbone with a hint of vanilla on the finish. That combination gives the taste sweet Carmel/Toffee flavor (scent also).
M: Chewy mouth with just enough carbonation, and a touch of alcohol heat. Very well balanced.
D: As far as flavor/scent/mouth goes this is an excellent, very enjoyable beer, with many characteristics of Scotch. Unfortunately the high ABV is going to keep me from drinking more than two of these. Bummer.

Pours a murky brown apricot copper color?A thinner slight off white head settles into a frothy mass.Fruit and caramel toffee mainly in the nose,quite alcoholic.Big chewey and yes alcoholic on the palate,cutting through the alcohol is dark fruit and more cramel toffee with a big hit of that warming alcohol in the finish all the way down.This feels all of 10% but it's made to sip and savor and it's great for that,I like it.

Pours almost no head, after a good rousing some pops up but hardly any remains. White bubbles remain with big alcohol legs cling to the glass. Body is deep amber, not what i was expecting when compared to others in this category.
Smells like a big malty beer. Carmel, some toffee, quite a bit of alcohol, grainy malts.
Tastes very malty as well go figure. Carmel and toffee, huge sugary malty sweetness. Alcohol comes through but for 10% that's ok by me.
Mouth-feel is medium/full bodied. Low carbonation. Coating sweet syrupy, oily finish.
Overall this is a big, malty sweet, sipping beer. I needed to split this with more than 2 people. This coming year I'll buy a few to lay down to mellow it out. $8 500ml bottle, its a fair price.

4/5 rDev +1.5%
Appearance: 1/4 inch head that goes quickly, high carbonation, yellowish-brown in color, cloudy
Smell: earth, vanilla cake, toasted malt—not very ipa like but very pleasant
Taste: pine and earth at the start followed by big time oak and some tobacco—light caramel and big alcohol round out the end
Mouthfeel: bitter start that gradually gets sweeter with noticeable alcohol burn at the end, moderate carbonation, heavy bodied and thick
Overall: This is a sipper and is a lot more oaky than I could ever have imagined. A solid sipper that is different from other Scotch Ales that I have tried. One per sitting but I would revisit this one.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a hazy orange-brown color with a white head. The aroma is very sweet toffee and not much else. The flavor is toffee and a lot of sugar. The beer is extremely sweet and doesn't have any alcohol or peet character to it like a lot of beers in this style have. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

3.43/5 rDev -12.9%
Caramel and ruby colored with a beige head that settles out quickly. Very low aroma of caramel and metallic note. Flavors of caramel and toffee, some vanilla, a bit woody, maltiness is offset with firm bitterness. Finishes with some grassy hop notes and mild phenols. Mouthfeel is a tad slick, but finishes tingly, slight warming of the cheeks. Tasty beer, but not too complex, was expecting more.

4.35/5 rDev +10.4%
Cellared for about a month on a recommendation from a guy who was present during bottling.
Poured a clear burnt Sienna color with an eggshell white head. The one finger thick head dissipated to a skin that stuck around for the duration.
Notes of caramel, vanilla, oak and a hint of spice (cinnamon). Very subdued nose.
Taste is bigger, with some nice complexities. Caramel and toffy malts with a bready malt backbone. Black cherries, brown sugar sweetness, and nuttiness. The only presence of hops detected was in the slightly bitter finish. Alcohol warmth is well balanced especially for the %.
Mouthfeel is medium and smooth, almost creamy.
Overall a very nice brew, lots going on but balanced out well.

Bottle that has been aged for a little over a year, poured into a shaped pint glass.
Pours a very cloudy dark amber color with a small head that fades. Was this always under-carbonated? Not sure. Some lacing spots.
Very sweet aroma, fruit forward, some brandy, musty wood, slight caramel, candy, honey, etc.
Pretty slick feel. Syrupy sweet but then it gets kicked out by a slight alcohol burn. Touch of wood in the back combined with a dry afterfeel. Notes of caramel, honey, brandy. Really tastes what I imagined a Scotch Ale to be.
Neutral mouthfeel, bordering dry. Full body.
The sweet caramel and honey notes really gives this beer a Scottish feel to it. Alcohol, wood, and some fruit just add to the complexity. Way to go NEBCo!

Pours a deep golden honey with garnet highlights. One inch head dissipates quickly with a stratospheric top and foam hugs the ridge.
Booze stands front in the nose followed by a toffee/caramel with toasted nut and sweet malt aroma. Some allspice.
Again booze upfront on the taste buds balanced nicely with the malt and mild hop. Mellow burnt toffee.
Very mellow brew that finishes smoooth! I would compare a likeness of this to a Firestone Double DBA.
Overall nicely done. One needs to like a bit-o-booze and expect it in this quaff. Again, nicely balanced and not one characteristics outweighs the other. Only wish it were in my area as I would definitely git mo' of the Weee William.

Thanks to mnbearsfan for this one!
A: Pours a hazy burgundy color with a small off-white head with little retention, a ring of lace forms. Thin, but sticky lacing forms on the side.
S: Some bready/biscuity malt, vanilla, caramelized sugar, and a little bit of dark fruit.
T: Some sweet, dark fruits come out right away, with more bready malt to back it up. There is some vanilla, brown sugar, and caramel.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Rather smooth with a slightly dry finish. Abv hidden very well.
O: A nice scotch ale, very tasty and surprisingly easy drinking for 10%. Would certainly drink this one again.

oddly shaped 500ml bottle, split and served in Stone Levitation glasses
A - pours with a short-lived third inch of loose, bubbly light tan colored foam which settles to a ring within a few minutes. the beer is slightly cloudy, dark gold and amber in color.
S - heavily earthy, with scents of smoke and firewood alongside some vegetation and peat. bold, sweet caramel and alcohol round it out.
T - begins with some lightly fruity notes...grapes pears and apples before being cut into sharply by the earthy smoke. fair amount of alcohol, and tobacco (where are the firearms?) creep into the second half. all the while, sweet caramel and toffee provide the base.
M - medium bodied, very oily and pretty slick going down. moderate, tight and fizzy carbonation doesnt overpower at all. mouth is left slightly sticky from the sweetness, yet alcohol does a fairly good job cleaning it up.
D - solid all around. bold and flavorful, yet nothing really stands out. good representation of the style, if not a bit safe. oh well, its still quite good.

Picked up at the BA IST release
A: Flocculent yeast dots this primarily dark red-orange beer. I probably shouldn't have poured the entire bottle in to the glass but at 8$, there was no way I was wasting a drop. Little head formed and quickly receded.
S: Prominent sweet malt profile comes through, with some peat and ethanol permeating the nose. It just smells deeeep. Some light fruits are mixed in too.
T: Wow, what a sweet beer. It blasts off with an almost sweet red wine quality, giving way to mild smoke with drying finish. The malts are robust and linger but I'm not sure if I am enjoying the sweetness.
M: Carbonation is present but faint. For the ABV, this is a fairly light beer, lacking some of the viscosity I've had in other Scotch ales.
D: I'm OK with just this one.

12oz bottle
A- Purple foil and capped. Pours a dark brown color with an off-white head.
S- The aroma is simply fantastic! It is very malty with a ton of Bourbon, vanilla and wood. I like a lot!
T- The taste like the aroma is a lot of sweet malt, bourbon and peat. It is sweet, but not too sweet. The alcohol is defintiely there, but this beer could not be any smoother. Wow, fantastic stuff!
M- The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation.
D- 10% ABV? Are you kidding me? This beer goes down dangerously smooth. Overall, Wet Willy is a fantastic brew that is a must try! Highly Recommended!

12 oz. bottle poured into a thistle. I can't remember who sent this to me, but it was one of my first trades, so this bottle is well over a year old.
Appearance - Pours a murky, sedimenty, chunky, fairly gross looking dark amber. No head. Huge chunks of sediment pour long before the bottom of the bottle. Looks icky.
Smell - Wow, it's quite a turn around. This isn't listed as oaked or barreled, but it sure tastes like it. Oak and bourbon come through a ton. Sweet caramel malts and some buttery aromas as well.
Taste - Buttery, as a scotch ale should be, but it's got a nice complement of oak and bourbon flavors. It's really interesting and more complex than I was expecting. It's a bit on the sweet side and finishes with a slick butterscotch flavor reminiscent of more traditional wee heavies.
Mouthfeel - I must confess to not liking the feel of scotch ales. The oak treatment (that I may or may not be imagining) masks it a bit, but it's still there. Buttery and slick. Not a lot of carbonation and it's pretty boozy too.
Overall - I am pleasantly surprised. This is not a beer I expected to enjoy this much.

First sample from trade haul from HopStoopid120, cheers Tony! Love the foil seal, much easier to peel back versus wax seals...
Pours an effervescent, semi-hazed caramel/ apricot with a sliver of cream colored head. Just a trace head retention & lacing
S: Sweet oakyness, a bit of tannin, & smoke
T: Toffee, smoke & Bourbon up front. Figs & a kiss of maple syrup is there as this warms, plus leafy hops & a kiss of booze & dryness. Finishes dry, with much vanilla oak, a touch of booze & jammyness
MF: Medium bodied, lively carbonation, perhaps a bit thin as this warms, but also gets me very warm
Great drinkability for the style & ABV, but needs more malt depth to be "All Scotland"

3.25/5 rDev -17.5%
Poured from 500ml bottle into a pint glass.
Pours medium reddish amber with touches white foam. All malt smell. Malt taste open, peaty with a lingering back hop. Whiskey backed taste. Smooth. Earthy. Flavorful. Modestly drinkable, alcohol wallop.
I liked it, but not nearly as much as the other reviewers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 27, 2011
Front Street closes for streetlight test
The City of Kansas City, Mo., is advising motorists that a test of new, environmentally-friendly streetlights will close Front Street between Grand Boulevard and North Lydia Avenue for four days, starting Thursday, July 28.
Low-energy light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights were installed as part of the extensive improvements made to Front Street. These high-efficiency lights illuminate the roadway at a fraction of the cost of conventional lighting, and are one of many environmentally-friendly improvements included in the project.
Roadway improvements on Front Street include the re-alignment of the roadway along Richard Berkeley Park from the Grand Avenue Viaduct to the Christopher S. Bond Bridge. Improvements include construction of a four-lane divided arterial roadway with a pedestrian trail, streetlights, storm water control and parking lot improvements. This work is being managed by the City's Capital Projects Department for the Kansas City Public Works Department.
The road is scheduled to reopen on Monday, Aug. 1.
Media inquiries and other requests for more information about this closure or the Front Street project should be directed to Sean Demory, Capital Projects Department, at 816-513-0059.

After months of lengthy interviews, the search for a new
president of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is over.
At a press conference Thursday afternoon the South Dakota Board
of Regents announced that Heather Wilson will be Doctor Robert Wharton's
successor. The search for a new president began in November 2012 after
Wharton died unexpectedly in September from complications of cancer
It was standing room only at the Surbeck Center as Wilson was
named the first female president of the School of Mines.
Wilson is a former congresswoman from New Mexico; where she
spent a decade serving in the U.S. Congress.
She's a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and a Rhodes Scholar
with a Master's and Doctoral degree from Oxford University.
Wilson says she and her family are excited to make rapid city
their new home.
And she knows she has big shoes to fill; following in the
footsteps of Dr. Wharton.
"It also sets a high standard and I hope to meet that
standard. Nobody can do this kind of job alone. The great thing is when you
reach out, people reach back and we can do great things together," said Wilson.
"We're excited to welcome Dr. Wilson to the Board of Regent's
family in terms of the presidents of the universities and so on," said Dean
Krogman, President of the South Dakota Board of Regents.
Wilson will begin her role as president on June 17th.
Duane Hrncir, who was named acting president of the School of
Mines after Wharton died; was in the running for the permanent job. But Krogman
says Hrncir will resume his role as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Amateur pilots can learn how to fly Cessna planes, Piper J3 Cubs, and Maule MX7s during float ratings, bush courses, and tailwheel training with Legends Aviation. For those who'd rather see the sights than take the controls, tours traverse some of Alaska's most notable landscapes, including Denali National Park, the Mount Spurr volcano, and the Knik Glacier. Soar over the icy peaks and deep valleys or hire a plane to take you to official checkpoints along the Iditarod Trail to look for abandoned foam fingers.
In the late 1960s, Anchorage's grocers held a contest to see who could sell the most toilet paper. One of two first-place prizes was $3,000, but the victor chose the other—a baby Asian elephant. He quickly realized he couldn't take care of her, so he put her up in the heated barn of local horse rancher Sammye Seawell. Sammye fell so in love with this small pachyderm that she began housing other abandoned creatures—enough to fill a zoo. More than 40 years later, The Alaska Zoo's keepers and staff continue this simple but powerful mission: to rescue orphaned, injured, and captive-born animals of the Arctic, sub-Arctic, and similar regions.
Today, the zoo's habitats house more than 110 animals from 53 cold-loving species. In semiaquatic zones, polar bears nap, harbor seals swim, and river otters attempt to solve calculus equations. In terrestrial environments, amur tigers play with a ball attached to a zipline, and black bears lounge in a hammock made from recycled fire hoses. Other habitats house residents such as snow leopards, reindeer, and wolves.
In addition to caring for these animals, staffers conduct Iditarod-focused educational events in March and use animal-themed light displays to celebrate both the summer solstice and approaching winter holidays. They also raise awareness for wildlife through educational programs, such as seasonal adventure camps and zookeeper shadowing, and join in conservation efforts, such as serving as ambassadors for Polar Bears International and the Toupees for Bald Eagles Project.
Jody Mason quickly became enamored with the sights and abundant fish of Prince William Sound during his first fishing trip to Whittier in 1977. Twenty-three years later he started Alaskan 4 Star Charters to share those experiences and resources with others. His vacation destination—at the head of Passage Channel—provided the ideal place to set up shop, as it's one of the closest salt-water fishing grounds to Anchorage and rich with Alaskan scenery. The company's private hunting and fishing charters whisk guests away in pursuit of 15 types of rockfish or five types of salmon, while trio of sightseeing tours through Prince William Sound drift past humpback whales and tidewater glaciers that the prince bedazzled with his favorite rubies.

About 130 mostly incarcerated young women have been touched by a group of people who have given energy and resources for 2½ years to Reaching Up & Reaching Out.
"My opinion is it's the most effective program in Mercer County," said founder Carol Mitchell of Lake Latonka.
"Addiction is huge problem in our society, and people ask what's the difference between today and before. A lot of (addicts are) second generation, who had parents who were users. It is a huge debt for incarceration, and the success rate is not good."
Mitchell first reached up to God and out to offenders in Mercer County Jail when she became part of a monthly Bible study ministry there that was started by Grove City Alliance Church, Pine Township, five years ago.
"I realized we needed to go more often, build relationships and build a recovery program," she said.
She and others began a chapter of Celebrate Recovery - a Christian 12-step program - for incarcerated women in the county jail on Wednesdays 2½ years ago.
"Within a year, we decided if we didn't have a ministry to follow up with them, how could we say, 'Yes we love you. Hope you do well. Good luck,'" Mitchell added.
Reaching Up & Reaching Out officially became a non-profit organization in November of 2010.
It helps any person - female or male, incarcerated or free - in a crisis situation. However, women in their 20s and 30s leaving county jail who have been involved in the Celebration Recovery program have mainly used RURO's resources.
"Our mission statement is to establish physical, spiritual and emotion support for their lives in Christ," added Linda Porter, secretary and board member, of Slippery Rock.
"We foster love. We become very close," she said, with the women who have gone through the program.
However, they must seek - with RURO's aid - to find a home, employment, recovery program and church. They are not permitted any vices, such as lying, using drugs or alcohol or being involved with negative significant others from their past.
When RURO first started, it kept tabs on the women, but realized they needed to make an effort to keep tabs with RURO.
"We say, 'We're here, want to help you, but you need to want to do this. You're the one responsible.' We reduced the number of girls we worked with, but the girls we work with are more serious," Mitchell said.
"We are not wardens of these girls when they come out. We're not a handout group. We're there to help them make the right decisions," Porter added. "Overall, I think it's doing wonderfully."
RURO takes money and other donations - like kindly used furniture, appliances, clothing, etc. - to help participants with expenses, furnishing their homes and getting newer clothes to wear.
Volunteers - there are about 25, with eight board members - often provide the women with rides to job interviews and jobs, since many of the former offenders have lost their licenses. The women also meet with RURO's life coach.
"It's very time consuming," Mitchell said. However, "Our goal is independent living within 90 days. I think it's worked well. There are some who have done fantastic; some OK. Others are back in jail."
Right now, "I'd say there's 17 or so doing really, really good," Porter said.
Some were asked to speak for the first time at a church, Faith Gospel Fellowship in Leesburg, last month. The pastor's wife, Joyce Hill, helps RURO with the Wednesday prison outreach.
Nicole Rossi of Grove City volunteered to talk about being raised by a mother addicted to heroin.
"She had many men in her life, and there was no joy of having friendships in and out of school," she said, since the mom "moved all the time."
Rossi married an alcoholic at 18. She started a successful cleaning business, but that fell apart after her house burned and she hurt her hand. "I had several nervous breakdowns and turned to drugs," she said.
Rossi lived in Utah, running from the law, but eventually turned herself into the Mercer County Jail in April to pay her debt. She completed RURO's recovery program, and "has worked so hard to turn her life around," said Porter, whom Rossi stayed with after she was released from jail in June.
By last month, she had employment, an apartment and her son living with her. "All the bills are paid and the Christmas presents are bought," Rossi said. "I have supportive friends. My obsession with drugs is lifted from me the majority of the time. The power of prayer is, indeed, very powerful."
Roxanne Basham of Grove City also spoke. She cleaned up her own drug-filled life before joining RURO and became one of its board members.
"I was ashamed of my past and the lives I destroyed, but God helped me lift my head and said, 'You're my daughter,'" she said. "I can smile and look at the cops in Grove City because of what God has done for me."
It's been rewarding to help county-jailed women - as well as her own daughter, who became addicted to pain pills after having knee problems.
"Through prayer and the 12 steps we have come through that," Basham said. "I was thankful I could help my daughter."
Porter addressed the the church crowd about her work with the ministry.
RURO has numerous needs, including its desire to lease or purchase a "transition house," Porter said.
"When a lot of girls come out of county jail, they have nowhere to go unless they go back to their old life and habits. A transition house helps them start a new life with new friends."
Porter is researching grants to fund a house, which would also be very helpful for women coming out of state prison. RURO keeps in contact with women from facilities in Cambridge Springs and Muncie.
State prison inmates must have someplace to live or they cannot be released from jail, Mitchell said. "We have a lot of sad letters from people who are done with their sentences but have no place to go."
RURO is looking for support from county officials for the transition home, since there may be some restrictions about allowing women to live together who are on parole, she noted.
"For a lot of these girls, they need to have someone to care for them. Sometimes it's so sad to hear about their childhood, and never having a safe home," Mitchell said. "We need more volunteers and cooperation."
When the women get out on their own, they need furniture, kitchenware and linens, Porter said. RURO needs a coordinator to administrate moves.
"We need someone to look at inventory, make calls about where to take it and give directions on how to get there," she added.
The ministry also needs funding.
RURO had a fashion show fundraiser in October, with men and women out of jail who shared testimonies about their changed lives. The 150 who attended "were very touched," Mitchell said. "It helped break the image of what people think. We didn't try to sell our ministry but show people they can have a new life. It's very exciting to see."
It goes with an excerpt of a Bible promise Porter keeps as a signature on her email from Isaiah 43:18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past: See, I am doing a new thing."
