Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Thank you shan8454 for this brew in trade.
Appearance: Golden amber with a thin white head. Lots of carbonation, and mild lacing on the glass.
Smell: Hops, Pine and citrus.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth medium bodied. Taste of bitter hops/pine and citrus.
Overall: Good brew, glad I could try this one.

A: Pours deep golden, crystal clear with a thin off-white head that has good retention.
S: Light biscuity malt scent with a touch of hops.
T. Mild and light on hops for style
M: Thin to medium body; lively, medium level of carbonation.
O: a rather drab, malt-forward version of APA style.

Growler from Gus's in Auburn, AL.
Pours a clear golden-copper color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of biscuity pale malts with good amounts of citrus and floral hops. As the beer warms the hops fade a bit.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Biscuity and slightly grainy pale malt flavors up front are quickly joined by light citrus hop flavors. The hop flavors carry through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a solid thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall this is a middle-of-the-road pale ale that's easy on the tongue. Not worth seeking out but worth a shot if you see it around.

3.89/5 rDev +10.8%
12oz bottle. My first Alabaman beer, a state tick that I thought I'd have to trade or travel for - I guess not with Alberta's adventurous importers - thanks, Christian!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, bright medium golden amber hue, with one fat finger of wanly puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent array of curvy mountain stream lace around the glass as things drop away.
It smells of grainy, bready, and moderately pastry-like pale malt, a bit of nutty biscuit, and earthy, leafy, and lightly piney hops. The taste is biscuity caramel malt, a certain, hard to pin down oily nuttiness, a pithy pine astringency, hints of earthy yeast, and leafy, weedy hops.
The carbonation is a bit edgy at first, but settles to a dull edge soon enough, the body a sturdy medium weight, and mostly smooth, with even a minor touch of creaminess. It finishes off-dry, the caramel malt still sort of beholden to the crispy biscuity character, while leafy, piney hops mill about, shuffling their feet.
A fairly enjoyable APA, with strong ESB leanings - not a bad thing in my book. A sassy offering, worthy of a few rounds, iterations, or trips back to the fridge, and nice to see coming out of the deep south.

This is a pretty good beer for the most part. I think it goes better with food though because for some reason everytime I have this beer by myself, I want to have something to eat with it. I often jokingly call it "high quality Alabama bud light platnium" because it's as strong as a bud light platnium but it taste significantly better although it's a medium bodied beer as oppose to being a light beer. I love the aroma this beer has for some reason. I often wonder if this would be a good beer to cook with because of the smell and it's not too heavy or too light which is what I like in a beer when using it as an ingredient. However my biggest complaint with this beer is the price. At $11 or so dollars a 6-pack, this is definitely not my to go to beer. You can get a 6-pack of Sierra nevadas that taste just as good if not better for $8.99 and this is not a good first choice of a beer for those on a budget. However this is a good choice of beer if you got a little bit of extra cash to burn and your having a pizza with a small group of friends.

Trying the Naked Pig Pale Ale while in Birmingham, AL...I picked this beer up at Vulcan Beverage store. The color is light copper, clear with very thin white head...although what is there is lacing nicely. The smell reminds me of Semcoe hops more. The smell includes spice with a slight bitter citrus (apricot/grapefruit). The taste is full bodied and starts with a malt and bitter mix, then turns all bitter and clings to the pallet for a little bit. The flavor leans toward grapefruit. The mouthfeel is ok... i like the body, the bitterness is a bit tough and one would be enough for me.

My neurons are probably misfiring here, but I recall numerous sittings with this brew on-tap with positive memories, only to pour it from the bottle to see a totally different beer. Different in all categories. I guess you can get significant variations. Try it draught when you can. A good beer on tap and wee-below average in the bottle, but worth it.

For weeks upon weeks, following a number of poor results, Chelsea and manager Andre Villas-Boas found themselves on the wrong end of a lot of criticism. That's since died down a bit, thanks to a couple of league wins and a spectacular performance against Valencia in a must-win UEFA Champions League match. The Blues' high line isn't taking the flak it was after the Liverpool loss, but the critics will be fully silenced if the Blues can find a way to defeat top of the table Manchester City.
City will be top of the table no matter what happens in this match, but Chelsea can move up all the way to third place with a win. The Blues will have to do without defender David Luiz, who was handed an automatic suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card last week. Other than Luiz, everyone else save for those dealing with previous long-term injuries is available for Chelsea. Manchester City also have a fairly clean bill of health and no one suspended, but will be without Micah Richards. Either Stefan Savic or Pablo Zabaleta will play right back in his place.
Chelsea Vs. Manchester City
Game Date/Time: Monday, Dec. 12, 2011, 3:00 p.m. ET, 8:00 p.m.GMT
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London, England
TV: ESPN2 (USA - English), ESPN Deportes (USA - Spain), TSN2 (Canada), Sky Sports 1 (UK)
Online: ESPN3

A well-stocked spice rack will include a variety of both herbs and spices—a fine distinction, in many cases. Generally, though, herbs include the leaves and flowers of a plant, while spices come from the seeds, bark, roots, and fruit—for example, coriander comes from cilantro seeds, and cinnamon is a type of bark from a variety of evergreen. And then we have salt, which is in a category of its own, since it doesn't come from plants at all (see below).
The varieties of herbs and spices number in the thousands, and encompass enough different flavors to ensure culinary diversity until the end of time. The sheer volume is enough to intimidate any novice chef into sticking to salt and pepper—or takeout. However, with a handful of essentials, you can create enough culinary magic to satisfy most palates, and even wow a few.
We've compiled a list of the essential 14 to start with. Experiment by adding them one at a time to dishes to see how you like their flavor. Once you're comfortable with these, start experimenting with combinations of two or three different herbs and spices per dish. Then you can begin to expand your repertoire to include more exotic varieties and combinations.
|Bay leaves
Aromatic leaves from a species of laurel; essential for cooking beans, lentils, risottos, soups, stews, tomato sauces, and braised meats. Add one or two whole leaves to the pot, and fish them out before serving. Or tie them in a piece of cheesecloth and let them "steep" into the food during cooking, then remove and discard the bag before serving.
Cayenne pepper
Comes from the bark of a tropical evergreen tree, and has a warm, mildly sweet flavor. It's usually used in sweet and baked goods, but is also a delicious counterpart to many spices, especially cumin, cayenne, and curry. Use it in apple and pear dishes and custards, or with chicken, lamb, or rice dishes.
|Cumin seeds
The tiny fruits of a plant that's related to parsley; these have a warm, earthy flavor and pungent aroma, and are sold whole or ground. Cumin is essential to Mexican and Middle Eastern cuisine, and is one of the key ingredients in curry powder. Try it in dishes containing cilantro or curry powder, or with beans, lentils, lamb, rice, couscous, or potatoes.
A blend of herbs and spices that usually contains cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, cardamom, fennel, mace, nutmeg, pepper, sesame seeds, fenugreek, and turmeric, which gives curry its brilliant golden color. You'll find curry in many varieties, including madras, which is especially spicy. Use curry in Indian cuisine and in egg, bean, and lentil dishes.
A member of the mint family, marjoram has a light, sweet flavor that's similar to oregano; it's especially prominent in Italian cooking. Add it near the end of cooking; heat can harm its delicate flavor. Try it in tomato soups or sauces, and with squash, peas, carrots, zucchini, or white fish.
Similar in flavor to marjoram, but more pronounced and less sweet. The two most common varieties of oregano are Mediterranean and Mexican, which is the more pungent of the two. Use oregano in Italian or tomato-based dishes, or with beans, fish, pasta, peppers, onions, eggplant, zucchini, or mushrooms.
The berry of the pepper plant, a vine native to India and Indonesia. It's appropriate in any dish to add extra zing. White pepper comes from the same plant, but is processed differently; it's best suited for white or cream-based sauces, soups, and casseroles.
Another cherished Mediterranean herb. The fragrant, needle-like leaves of this woody herb are stripped from their stems and used to flavor all manner of cuisines. Rosemary is especially good with lamb and seafood, and in any dish with beans, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, or cauliflower.
Comes from the leaves of a Mediterranean herb and has a strong, mildly bitter flavor and aroma. It's especially good in rich or creamy dishes; or use it in stuffings, tomato-based dishes, beans, polenta, tuna, or turkey.
From a plant related to wormwood, it has a distinctively sweet and aromatic flavor reminiscent of licorice. It's especially delicious in egg dishes; or use it with chicken, seafood, carrots, tomatoes, corn, white fish, or salmon.
A member of the mint family, thyme's tiny leaves are commonly used in Mediterranean and southern European cuisine. Lemon thyme has a pronounced lemon flavor and aroma. Use either variety with carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and beef, or in any lemon-scented dish.
What's Shaking?
Five essential salts for the well-stocked kitchen
In a pinch, a shake of salt can round out and emphasize the flavors of any meal, even without spices. Artisan and pure sea salts with appealing colors and textures add better flavor and aesthetic appeal. Some to try:
Sel gris: Also known as grey sea salt or Celtic grey, this natural sea salt has a softer texture and fuller flavor than white salt. Use the coarse grinds in place of kosher salt in cooking, and choose finer grinds for a finishing salt on any dish.
Cyprus black: With its ebony hue (from natural charcoal) and pyramid-shaped flakes, this Mediterranean sea salt is a beautiful finishing salt; sprinkle it on after cooking, on pasta, avocado cubes, mango slices, or any dish with a light or vibrant color.
Red alaea: This Hawaiian sea salt gets its rich terra-cotta color from red volcanic clay, which also gives it a subtle, earthy flavor. Use the coarse grinds as a finishing salt for crunch and color on eggs, white fish, cream soups, or pasta.
Fumée de sel: Derived from the famed Guérande salt marshes in France, this sea salt is smoked in oak barrels used to age Chardonnay wine, giving it a smoky flavor and tan color. Try it as a finishing salt on roasted vegetables, salads, or sautéed greens.
Fleur de sel: Also from the Guérande salt marshes, this delicate salt is hand-harvested from the top layer of salt that forms on the surface of the water. It has a fragile texture, crystalline sparkle, and a subtle, violet-like flavor. Try it as a finishing salt on melon slices, salads, and other cold dishes.

Buhl Wide Body Flat Panel TV Cart with Locking Cabinet
A/V Cart
Scott from Alberta, Canada– Verified Buyer
This A/V cart was easy to put together and is one of the most sturdy carts I have seen. We have a 55" Plasma TV mounted on it for video conferencing. We love the ability to move it around so easily. This cart was significantly less expensive and more sturdy than other carts.
Great looking and sturdy
Mr.IT from WV– Verified Buyer
Easy to put together.
Just what I hoped for!
Mike the Mechanic from Lee, MA– Verified Buyer
It was a challenge to put together since there were no directions for assembly. But satisfaction comes when completing a puzzle. The cart is just what we needed and allows us to move the HDTV easily from place to place without worry. It would be better if there were a few more access holes in the rear cabinet for multiple wire exits, and a face plate for cable hook-up. This was a good investment. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Keep it coming. The whole team will be gathering your notes for future app updates.
Don't be shy.

You could fix your website so that it saves your Login name or password every time you log on. It's a bit tedious to keep typing in your screen name or email every time you visit the site. There's not even an option to automatically enter the whole name when you write one letter. A check box to keep you logged in would be nice too.
And I really think you guys are experiencing some audio and video issues. The quality keeps rising and dipping. The audio also gets cut off right before commercials. And like others have said, I'd love more options added to the schedule and other little things.
Maybe you guys could incorporate an option to switch between SD and HD. The non-HD shows like Inuyasha and Death Note look pretty bad on my HDTV. Is there a way to rectify that?

Yeah, I also experienced the bobbing quality this afternoon for the first time. It mainly happened at the same time I experienced a few stream freezes all around the same time (not the app, the pop-up guide still opens and closes) during the Naruto block, but it looks like it's finally picked up again during the last Naruto, and the Blue Exorcist that just started is looking quite good if a little bitrate starved since there's some pixelation in the dark colored areas sometimes (though inconsistently so maybe it's an encoding thing? Cause some parts look real good and other have a tad bit of breakup). Yeah it improved around then, BE, Nura and the couple of trailers like the Shangri-La one were pretty clear.
Love the dubs for T&B and Blue Exorcist so far in their first eps, was so looking forward to finally seeing those.
Tiger & Bunny's gonna be so damn fun in dubbed form like it was subbed. Which reminds me, since others have probably commented on the main characters, for such a minor role, the choice of voice they picked for the cranky store owner in ep one of BE was so perfect (Wendee Lee, I easily pictured Yoruichi being bossy lol), I should have seen her coming, and Tony Oliver for the "retro designed" priest assistant.

|Maybe its because I haven't subscribed to the service yet( the PSN store page says you get a 1 week free trial) but I have yet to get anything to play. When I'm at the schedule screen I go to the currently playing show and pressing X does...nothing. Pressing random buttons does...nothing. Pressing the down key makes the screen go all black like it is going to load something, but it just freezes there (tried this multiple times, happens every time) and I need to do a hard reset since pressing the PS button does nothing.

I never even knew what this service was till I read about it this week. I looked at the site and am happy Viz can offer a streaming service. But you totally lost me at "uncut and dubbed." And then I looked at the FAQ asking "will there be subbed anime," where the answer to it was a blatant "no."
I would simply like to know why. And will there ever be a possibility in the future?

Because if you want VIZ's subbed anime, you can usually get that for free on their website.
This is a service strictly for the dub fans.
Ya know.... the non-purist, non-weeaboo crowd. The kind of people who actually like to enjoy their anime without reading it.

Well, MAYBE when the site gets bigger, they can do both. Like, they set it up like CrunchyRoll (or any legal streaming site). It's expected to develop over time. Giving fans more stuff to watch and add onto the streaming numbers (and see what shows are worth the dub). But...is it just me or is Viz dubbing a lot for Neon Alley? I know they were planning Tiger & Bunny for a while, but they also have 2-3 other shows planed to air on the station. Or is their normal amount they handle?
As it is...it already seems people are not happy that the shows come on curtains times on the day, instead of them watching it whenever they please...because it would seem...no one watches TV normally (guess I'm an odd on out, I can't even record shows or stream...and our directTV was turned off). I'm not too happy with waiting even LONGER for Tiger & Bunny, only 6 months more until a possible BD release.

What did you select when you first started the app then?
The first screen you should get after launching the app for the first time is the login screen where it asks if you have an account. And I doubt it would play anything until you register for the trial. Which you can do on their webpage.
Also, once the channel is playing I believe the only real functions are Square to bring up and put down the pop-up menu, the d-pad to select right and left to scroll through the schedule and X to bring up a description. PS Button should bring up the in-game XMB where you can also exit the Neon Alley app.

I didn't know that. Then again, the quality of streaming is a bit on the low end for me 'cause my Internet connection sucks, which is why I don't really go out of my way to "explore" all the different venues. I just like the idea of having the option anyway.
Classy. Way to put into account personal preference and absolutely no differentiation between the types of fans that actually are the hardcore-Puritan-crazed fanatics and the people who may or may not appreciate Japanese voice acting for their capabilities as artists and/or their ability to actually make a show enjoyable as opposed to a hit or miss dub. I like the way you think !
I don't know. Are there? I'm not asking for sub-only. I generally like some of Viz's dubbing. It's just a matter of convenience and having the ability to choose between the two in case I like one or the other a little more.

Because following subtitles is so difficult, right?
I love how you equate preferring a show the way it was intended with being a "weeaboo".
Apparently that term is now as meaningless as "epic" and "fascism".

Ah see when it asks if I am a subscriber I say no. I was assuming that you're automatically on the trial just by using the app. It should really prompt you to make an account if you say no. I'll try making an account and see if it works then (probably will).
And has anyone else tried hitting down to see if it freezes? I mean if functionally it shouldn't do anything, then I don't see why it does what it does.
[EDIT: See how clean that looks? There's no reason to quote an entire post and make a mess of things. Simply putting "@user" or quote the most relevant parts of their post will do. -TK]

Great Service So far.
It would be nice if InuYasha and Noratu Were late night and early morning hour and a half sets. I would be nice to see different seasons on at different times of the day instead of the same episode twice.
Other then that give me lot's of anime please!!!!

The NFL Coaches Association released a statement on Monday regarding the NFL's bounty investigation.
NFLCA executive director David Cornwell issued the statement, which was titled, "The NFLPA's Strategy of Blaming Coaches in the Bounty Investigation is Misguided and Inappropriate."
"After destroying the best opportunity in the history of sports for NFL players to maximize the economic benefits of playing the game, NFLPA leadership has now turned its sights on destroying the bond between NFL players and NFL coaches," the statement read, according to Pro Football Talk. "Its strategy in the bounty investigation has been to throw coaches under the bus to save the players involved."
The NFLCA criticized what it called the NFLPA's "my coach made me do it" defense, calling it "petty and irresponsible."
The players suspended by the NFL for their roles in the bounty program have appealed, with the NFLPA maintaining that not enough evidence has been seen by the players. Cornwell writes that the NFLPA's "no evidence" defense "has been exposed as nothing more than a directive from (DeMaurice) Smith that players not meet with the Commissioner and not look at records uncovered in the NFL's investigation so that Smith's strategy of blaming their coaches would have the illusion of merit."
In April, the NFLPA sued the NFLCA for more than $650,000, citing accumulated debt owed to the NFLPA after the players' union offered office space, money and legal services.
Cornwell was a candidate to become the executive director of the NFLPA in 2009 and criticized Smith in a memo to agents in January.

E-mu Audity 2000
The Audity 2000 takes its name from the classic and one-and-only Audity, but that's about it. Although, the Audity 2000 has the same synthesis architecture as the Proteus, and the Proteus's synth chips were designed with the original Audity in mind. The Audity 2000 is a digital synth with an unprecedented 16 simultaneous arpeggiators. That's great for trance and techno! With an emphasis on electronic groove music, the Audity 2000 offers up many dance type sounds but with an uncomfortable digital "tinny" overtone. Its 12-pole digital resonant filter is nice...but it's no Moog.
The Audity 2000 features 64-voice polyphony with six analog outputs and a S/PDIF digital output. Patch editing is tedious, but it uses a Modular PatchCord architecture (probably inspired by the designs and concepts in the synth from which it takes its name) for extreme sound-sculpting capabilities. Originally released in 1998 with version 1.0 software, subsequent upgrades including a 2.0 version finally led to the inception of the Xtreme Lead-1. The Audity 2000 has been used by ATB and The Crystal Method.

As to the synth: to me it sounds a little unfriendly, metallic, thin and inorganic, and as if it was continuously operating through a bit crusher. But it certainly has a personality of its own, and it's wonderfully unusual.
It feels even better through some analogue 'deterioration processor' like a guitar combo.
Does a usable editor exist for it?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — State Treasurer Ken Miller is asking the Legislature to cut his budget.
Miller asked for a 5 percent budget cut Thursday during a performance review of the treasurer's office by the House Appropriations and Budget Subcommittee on General Government.
Miller says a $190,000 cut in appropriations for the fiscal year that begins July 1 is made possible by the office's efforts to become more efficient. Miller says the office has outsourced non-core jobs and taken advantage of new technology, increasing productivity and decreasing costs.
The treasurer's office once employed 72 people at three locations around Oklahoma City. Miller says This year, the staff will be 40 percent smaller and every employee will be working at the State Capitol.
Miller's budget request follows cuts of 17 percent during the recent recession.

Pope Benedict's resignation has stunned Catholics worldwide, including those here in Tucson.
"I was just on my way over to Church when my friend called me. she said it was on Facebook. I'm surprised, and it's health reasons, that's sad," said Angie Lopez, a Catholic who was on her way to Mass on Monday evening.
Clara Sandoval, another Catholic said she was praying for the Pope.
"We'll continue to pray for him and hope everything will be okay," said Sandoval.
Bishop Gerald Kicanas with the Catholic Diocese of Tucson said he heard the news early this morning, and was surprised as well.
Kicanas has met the Pope at least 10 times and described him as a holy and humble man who loved animals.
"He's a great lover of cats. He has received the award for humanitarian toward animals, he would feed all the stray cats outside in the Vatican," said Kicanas.
He added that the Pope was a gentle and loving kind of person who was very soft-spoken. Over the years, he had seen the Pope's health decline, and he had appeared to be frail the last time Kicanas saw him in May, 2012.
Monsignor Albert Schifano had accompanied Kicanas on a trip to Rome. For Schifano, it was the experience of a lifetime.
"It was huge. Beyond anything I ever imagined or dreamt I would have the opportunity to do," said Schifano.
Schifano had pictures of his meeting with Pope Benedict hanging on his office walls. He described the meeting as brief, but impactful.
"I felt like in his eyes I was the only person. He had that kind of attentiveness," said Schifano.
He added that the Pope had gifted him a Rosary inside a leather bag with a coat of arms on it. He kept that Rosary by his bedside and prayed with it every morning. It was one of his most treasured possessions, said Schifano.
In his eight year reign, Pope Benedict had faced many challenges. Kicanas said the priest sex abuse scandal was one that had taken it's toll on the Pope. He had publicly apologized for it repeatedly, during his reign.
"For him, as the head of the church to realize that children were abused by priests, it really tore at his heart, and brought him great sadness," said Kicanas.
Many Catholics said they were praying for the Pope's health and for the Holy Spirit to guide the Cardinals who would be electing the next leader of the Catholic Church.
Schifano said Pope Benedict had been a great inspiration to him, as well as a role model.
"When we met, I was a little surprised when he turned to me and said please pray for me. I thought how humble, shouldn't you should be praying for me," said Schifano.
Pope Benedict is expected to go into isolation for a while after his resignation at the end of this month.
Kicanas said, to elect a new Pope, Cardinals from all over the world will start arriving in Rome in March. They will lock themselves inside the Sistine Chapel, and be in sequestration as they hold elections, and vote for a new Pope from among themselves.
After the final vote is cast, a plume of white smoke will be seen rising from the Sistine Chapel. The doors will open, and that is when the world will be greeted by Pope Benedict's successor.
Kicanas said the whole process could last anywhere from several days to several weeks.

SEASIDE MAINSTAY: The Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island remains one of the state's most popular public-access golf courses.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (April 2013) — "We are tied to the ocean," President John F. Kennedy once said. "And when we go back to the sea ... we are going back from whence we came."
Apparently, President Kennedy had it right — particularly when it comes to golf in South Carolina. Of the 30 golf courses selected in the 2013 South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel's biennial voting on the "Best You Can Play" in South Carolina, a whopping 25 are located along the Atlantic seaboard.
It was another president, Bill Clinton, who annually began visiting Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island during the late 1990s. President Clinton's favorite of the resort's three outstanding golf courses — the Arthur Hills Course — is once again a mainstay among the South Carolina Top 30 "Best You Can Play."Â
The Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, where collegiate stars like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson honed their talents, takes full advantage of the natural beauty of this South Carolina sea island. Named the 2009 Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association, this spectacular layout represents a careful blend of beauty and challenge. Stands of palmetto trees line the graceful fairways.
Built on a series of rolling dunes, the Arthur Hills Course presents many opportunities for off-balance lies, while ocean breezes add to the challenge. Ten holes on the water further encourage precision play.
Fodor's Golf Digest ranks the Arthur Hills layout at 4.5 stars. Additionally, Arthur Hills was named a selected course by Golf Digest in its ranking of Hilton Head as No. 9 on the list of America's Best Buddies Trip Destinations for 2013. The course plays 6,651 yards from the back tees.
"We are thrilled that the experts have once again recognized the Arthur Hills Course as one of the most popular layouts in South Carolina," said Brad Marra, Assistant Vice President of Resort Operations. "We offer three golf courses that provide our guests a wide variety of looks and challenges, and we are proud of them all. It is pleasing to know that the game's connoisseurs agree." Â
The South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel announced its 2013 "Best You Can Play" at its annual spring meeting at the Callawassie Island Club in Okatie, S.C. The panel consists of approximately 125 members representing all facets of the game and all levels of playing abilities.
Ratings are conducted by a closed vote with results tabulated once voting has closed. The group's objective is to promote excellence in the state's golf course design and operation through competitive ranking, education and public advocacy.
The "Best 50" courses, public or private, are chosen in even-numbered years and the "Best You Can Play" is announced in odd-numbered years. Criteria used in judging include, routing, variety, strategy, equity, memorability, aesthetics and the golfer's experience.
Other than the No. 1 course — in 2013 it was the Kiawah Island Ocean Course, host site of the 2012 PGA Championship — the list of 30 is alphabetical with no numerical ranking.
"There are so many outstanding courses that you're really splitting hairs in the voting," Michael Whitaker, the panel's executive director, said in discussing the rankings. "When you think about the number of really good golf courses in this state and reduce that number to 30, it's a daunting task.
"Some of the older courses have stood the test of time, some have improved with some relative small tweaks and others that have undergone renovation or restoration to their original design features have increased in quality."
Regional honors went to The Ocean Course (Lowcountry area), Caledonia Golf & Fish Club at Pawleys Island (Grand Strand), Mount Vintage Plantation and Golf Club at North Augusta (Midlands) and the Walker Course at Clemson University (Upstate).
Information on previous rankings can be found on the organization's website www.SCGolfPanel.org.

text: Eating PizzaI want to say a few words to commemorate the passing of Willem Van De Wetering, an author who died this summer on July fourth and I only found out about it in the last couple weeks.He wrote what was for me a very influential book about his Zen practice. The first: The Empty Mirror which came out in 1974 just as I was coming to New York and it was a big impetus in my willingness to actually begin practicing rather than read yet another book about Zen. I believe he was born in 1931 so as a child, a teenager he went through the Second World War. He grew up in the aftermath of the war and his interest in Zen grew out of that post war experience of deep disillusionment with what had happened and what everyone believed in and what it had come to. And in the mid 50s he found his way to Japan where was able to practice in one of the sub temples of Kyoto monastery that welcomed foreigners and that was in the same temple at that time with Gary Snyder. I was just looking back at a copy of The Empty Mirror this morning where it describes his first interview with his teacher when he wants to be admitted to the monastery to be allowed to practice. And the teacher asks him Why do you want to practice?And he answers I want to find out the purpose of life. I know that Buddhism has the answer and I need to find it. In a way it was a symptom of what a terrible state he was in to even ask such a question. Your life has to be very fractured fundamentally split from itself to ask Whats its purpose?. You ask the purpose of something only when your life has gone in some fundamental way awry. When it becomes this strange thing we dont know what to do with. And it was interesting that the master responded to this question by saying Life does indeed have a purpose, but youll find it is a very strange purpose and that after years of practice you might come to realize that enlightenment is a joke. This was a funny thing to say to somebody on the first interview entering the monastery. More than most people can take in or can understand but he wrote two more books about Zen. The first was A glimpse of Nothingness about his experience in the Rinsai community in Maine of Walter Nowick in the 50´s and a third book called After Zen which indeed is really a book of Zen jokes, somewhat bitter and cynical jokes looking back at a lifetime of practice from a very different vantage point.My sense in looking back at these books now and looking back at his life in a way focuses on the kind of distress that it tells people to practice in the first place - and how strange it is in some way that one would do this intensely, disciplined, rigorous practice in order to answer a question like the meaning of life as if it was something that could be learned or earned only through intense effort and physical pain. And one of the things I remember about that book when I read it back in the 70s is how much it emphasized how much Zen was about pain in your knees not just creating funny exchanges between masters. It made it very real, very physical and in some ways it was also something an ordinary person can do: they would have a very hard time but they could do it. I found that in it own way inspirational.I think that over the course of the three books that he wrote on Zen you see him evolving his whole sense of what practice is for and what we count as an answer to his original question about the purpose of life. And in a way you see that the whole function of practice is really in the end not to answer a question like that but to dissolve it. And we answer the question about a purpose when there is a deep fundamental separation between ourselves and our lives and all that rigorous practice in a sense serves to immerse us almost involuntarily in the immediacy of our experience. There is nothing like pain to get you to be in the present. But it is the feeling of that gap, that separation that turns out to answer this question. But what Zen provides, what enlightenment looks like turns out to be so very different at this end of the journey and than what we can see or any other subject than we could imagine decades ago. It is very much a different thing when enlightenment is embodied or represented by a Japanese man in exotic robes with mannerisms from a whole different world and culture than when the teacher turns out to be someone not so very different from you. What has been struggled for, what has been attained? - if anything at all. This summer I got the chance to go out to give a talk at the Zen Center of San Francisco. And before I got there I paid a visit to Michael Wenger a teacher some of you know. He has taught and he has practiced there for many decades. He came to speak a few times at our Zendo on 86th street. We have a calligraphy downstairs he did in the Zendo. Over the years he collected more and more of these, hundreds of these that he has stacked up which he like s to show off. He is about my age give or two a few years and He practiced there for many years but he has very advanced early onset Parkinson disease. He invited me over for dinner and he ordered in a pizza to be delivered sitting around his kitchen table and he was slicing up this pizza and as he sat there talking it soon became obvious he could not eat the pizza. He wasnt able to get a piece of pizza from the plate to his mouth because of the severity of his Parkinson. But after a lot of unsuccessful attempts and you know I would ask him if I could cut that for you or do something but he just said Well no, no I cant do this right now: I have to stand on my head one thing helps when something is shaken when I am upside down. So we went out in the hall and he lie down on his back and put his feet over his head to stand on his head and I sat down in the hall next to him and we just got talking with him upside down. And we did that for 20 minutes or so and sure enough after a while it was shaken down and he came back in and he was able to eat a slice of pizza.And I think that the answer to Van Der Wetterings original question is displayed there. Not the kind of answer we thought we were going to get. It doesnt look in any way esoteric or enlightened by any stretch of the imagination that we might have had 30 years ago. All it was, was a complete non separation between himself and this condition he finds himself in. It is very simple: How do you handle yourself in the midst of This when This can be anything. It can include nothing more than to be able to hold a piece of pizza. And that turns out what a lifetime of Zen practice enables you to do.I dont know if I would have begun practice if I had thought that was what it was about at the beginning. I needed the carrot or something much more special to begin this practice and to chase it. We all need our fantasies in some way or another to be engaged in this practice to cure all our curative fantasies in order to begin. But we are all getting older together now and I think we need one way or another to be much more realistic about our practice and what it is about. And I am very grateful to Van De Wetering for engaging, stirring up, mobilizing my fantasies of Zen practice 30 years ago, so I could start down this path many years ago to get much more realistic about what practice is and I am very grateful to Michael to to show where it ends up.

The Cossacks series are a bestseller of the real-time strategy game genre that sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

The result is an almost perfect, and quite realistic, strategy game in which you can write your own version of post-Renaissance European history.
What makes Cossacks shine among other RTS games is its depth and lasting appeal. With 20 unique nations (each with its own set of perks), 200 missions, sophisticated economic and political systems, and a polished multiplayer mode, it offers countless hours of top-notch strategy gaming. There are only a few games like it and none of them match the perfect balance between realism and simplicity that made the Cossacks series so great.
Multiplayer notice: multiplayer mode is available after registering your unique CD-key for the game. For details see: Support.

Ahh! I still have original boxes of The Art of War and European Wars, back in the days it was very unique RTS, the shear amount of units on the battlefield and ability to control them was awesome. Although it's basically a classical RTS, the main focus is put on tactics, maneuvering units and taking advantage using terrain are key part of the game (and the most fun part). Alsoread more the game setting is very unusual and interesting since it's 17th and 18th century Europe. IA little bit dated mechanics of game-play and AI might be a turn off but this is still fun game. If you haven't played it yet i highly recommend it.

Well, shucks. I all ready purchased the entire series on Steam, but at the very least I can tout its virtues...
Cossacks is a very good old-time RTS. Anyone who has played any of the Age of Empire games should be right at home with the economic factors of the game, but raising an appropriately massive and diverse army is the real challenge. Each nation feels quite different inread more how they are played, and warfare changes drastically in the 18th century, requiring totally new strategies. As for difficulty... yes, the campaign is grueling, and usually requires careful management of limited resources. I recommend you play the game via the "Back to War" update. This includes a far superior tutorial to the original game that goes over the many technologies in depth, as well as the crucial aspects of the game, and also includes new nations and missions!
Great game, this.

The mechanics of the game may seem rather primitive by today's standards. The campaigns are tough and the Tutorial due to some bug is incompleteable(is that a word?). However, the music is good, the sound effects (especially of the long range cannons) is incredible. And the graphcs, OMG, the graphics, are like 17th century paintings of the various European cities come to life!!!read more And then of course, its fun to set the long range cannons off to blow them up!!! Very popular in its day in Europe- more so than in the states- A unique and beautiful game!

The Dallas Mavericks found themselves in a hole heading into the fourth quarter, but Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry are slowly bringing their team back into the picture. After the Miami Heat stretched their four-point lead to open the frame, they poured it on, inching away from the Mavericks and putting Dallas' championship hopes on life support. But thanks to two quick made buckets from Terry and Nowitzki springing to life, the Mavs are alive, and we've got a game in Dallas.
With just over four minutes to go, Dallas has the lead again, 80-78. Nowitzki and Terry have score four points apiece during the fourth quarter run as Dallas has clamped down on the defensive end, forcing five turnovers and completely locking down the Heat. Miami has just seven points in the first seven and a half minutes of the quarter, and has struggled to keep up with Dallas' quick passing on the other end of the floor.
It's crunch-time in Dallas and we're on our way to a wild finish in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

With work under way to build the next version of the MySQL relational database software, Oracle is focusing much of its efforts on improving the software's performance and replication capabilities, according to an Oracle executive overseeing the software's development.
The company's developers are making notable improvements to the core InnoDB storage engine, which should make the database system more responsive. Also, the ability to replicate a database to another location, always useful for backup and disaster recovery, is being enhanced in a number of ways, said Tomas Ulin, Oracle's MySQL vice president of engineering.
[ Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
Such work is being applauded in the MySQL community.
"From an engineering standpoint, Oracle is doing the best work on MySQL that's ever been done," said Baron Schwartz, chief performance architect at Percona, which sells an optimized version of the database software.
Marten Mickos, ex-CEO of MySQL AB, has also praised Oracle's efforts with MySQL. MySQL AB was purchased in 2008 by Sun Microsystems, which itself was purchased by Oracle last year.
Oracle released the last version of MySQL, version 5.5, in December. The company has not set a release date for the next version, but last month Oracle released the first preview, or development milestone, version 5.6.
Much of the work now under way is going into making the database faster, Ulin said. The InnoDB storage engine and the optimizer have both been revamped for faster performance. The optimizer, for instance, can save its algorithms for a particular query, should the administrator be pleased with the performance of that query under the optimizer.
Schwartz said that this version of MySQL implements some of the performance enhancements his company built into its own version of MySQL, called Percona Server. "This means we won't have to maintain these features any longer," Schwartz said.
One such feature being mulled for inclusion in 5.6 is the ability to "pre-warm the buffer pool cache," Schwartz said. A database can build up a cache of frequently consulted entries. When a server is shut down, however, this cache disappears, and, upon restarting, it can take several hours to build the cache back up. In the meantime, however, users may experience slower-than-normal response from the database.
"This is a big problem with servers with lots of memory," Schwartz said. Pre-warming the cache simply means the database can recreate a cache after it is rebooted. It keeps a list of all the required entries, which it can fetch quickly from the database in an orderly manner.
The company is undertaking quite a bit of work on MySQL's replication capabilities, which automatically copy databases to secondary locations.
With this release, replication is being sped up though multithreaded support. Multithreaded replication is "an absolutely killer feature," Schwartz said. When data is replicated on a backup server, the software can now spawn multiple threads on the backup server to copy the material in parallel.
In earlier versions, "you could completely overpower a replica with even a moderately powered master server. That's been a serious problem for a long time," Schwartz said.

At least 350 jobs cut at NSW environment deptPUBLISHED: 17 Jul 2012 13:29:08 | UPDATED: 17 Jul 2012 13:29:08PRINT EDITION: 17 Jul 2012
The New South Wales government will axe at least 350 environment jobs, sparking claims the state's national parks will be left at the mercy of weeds, hunters and illegal loggers.
The state's Environment Minister Robyn Parker on Tuesday announced "sweeping reforms" to the Office of Environment and Heritage that she said would save about $100 million over the next four years.
The changes involve cutting at least 350 jobs.
"Changes will include reducing senior area managers within the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) from 66 to 50," Ms Parker said in a statement.
The opposition said the plans will have a severe impact on national parks, which are already struggling to contain weeds and illegal logging.
There was already a shortage of inspectors to safeguard against illegal logging activity, opposition environment spokesman Luke Foley said.
"These cuts will have a severe and dramatic impact," he told reporters in Sydney.
"There is an explosion of weeds in our national parks. There will shortly be an explosion of amateur hunters ... and there will be less national park staff on the ground to deal with the consequences of that."
Ms Parker says the savings will allow the government to focus on park management activities such as pest and weed eradication.
Assistant General Secretary of the Public Service Association, Steve Turner, said the plans, which would cut regional park managers by approximately 20 per cent, would see local fauna and area knowledge disappear.
"The government keeps saying they won't cut frontline services and yet here you've cut the people who look after national parks, make sure those parks are safe ... and help prevent forest fires," he told reporters.
"This government is refusing to meet and refusing to give proper details of its plans," he said.
The latest round of cuts come after about 80 jobs were culled from environment and heritage in 2011-12, Ms Parker said.

Another private equity disaster. Over 200 restaurants closed.
Under the Sun Capital Partners umbrella, i.e. Boston Market, Hickory Farms, American Standard Brands (plumbing fixtures), The Limited, etc. ect.
Company is run by former senior VPs at Lehman Brothers, which probably explains the bankruptcy.
Makes you really wonder about Mitt Romney, i.e the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I loved their enchiladas. I loved their chips.
I'll bet the Dublin Hacienda Crossings and all the restaurants there really sunk the Owens Drive location.
The best Chevy's by far is in Foster City on the water. I guess I'll have to drive over there and hope they don't close that one too.
I hope Chili's and Friday's stay in business.

A poorly thought out menu, large platters full of fat/calories, meat poorly seasoned, fish always overcooked, tortillas RAW, salsa OK, pretend Mexican food, high priced junk food...good riddance!

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Children will read anything and everything they can get their hands on.
"I give great thanks to J.K. Rowling who authored the 'Harry Potter' books," said Sharon Bandhold, youth services librarian at the Plattsburgh Public Library. "They came out when I first started working here. She rejuvenated reading throughout the world."
In the intervening years, there are many more options for reading, such as eBooks.
"Our library system has a downloadable eBook program and also a downloadable audio book (program)," she said, adding that they are free. "There's a two-week loan for eBooks."
Having children check out books from their local library is the primary choice for parents who are not comfortable with giving their kids access to a credit card to purchase eBooks online from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Visitors to the library's Children's Room peak during the summer months. There, patrons get books the old-fashioned way.
"(With) the economy being the way it is, if a parent has to choose between food or gas instead of buying books, that's why we're here, to keep people reading all the newest books available," Bandhold said.
The Children's Room offers "Story Time for Preschoolers" at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays.
Bandhold's picture-book recommendations for children ages 7 or 8 are "A Ball for Daisy" by Chris Raschka, "How To Clean Your Room in 10 Easy Steps" by Jennifer Huget, "The Smash-Up Crash-Up Derby" by Tres Seymour and "Who's That Banging on the Ceiling?: A Multistory" by Colin McNaughton.
Juvenile fiction choices for children ages 8 to 11 are "The Boy of a Thousand Faces" by Brian Selznick, "The Dark is Rising" by Susan Cooper, "First Light" by Rebecca Stead and "Punished" by David Lubar.
Two young-adult fiction titles are "Revolution" by Jennifer Donnelly and "The Scorpio Races" by Maggie Stiefvater.
"We have a broad range of material, fiction and nonfiction. I find reading incredibly relaxing. I can't imagine that being taken away from the people of this area," Bandhold said. "Because we're in such tight economic times, a huge amount of people are coming in. We have many Plattsburgh State students in education courses, reading courses or literacy courses coming to use our library."
Bandhold is among the staffers who continuously purchase books from January to mid-November. Their selections are based on reviews in professional library journals.
The staffers are also constantly weeding books out of the collection that may not have circulated in three years. Now, new books can be easily accessed upon entering the Children's Room.
Bandhold advises parents to keep their kids reading so they can love and enjoy reading.
"You don't have to sit and read to them for a long time. Fifteen minutes a night is long enough. For some kids, that's as long as their attention spans go."
National Common Core Standards are being phased in through 2014.
"Reading consistently should help children read at or above their grade level, which is part of what the Common Core Standards will look at," Bandhold said.
Reading is a nutrient for the brain in Bandhold's estimation.
"Hopefully, it's something they will love all their lives," she said.

The Young Shepherdess
William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1825–1905
Size: 62 in. x 28 1/2 in. (157.5 cm x 72.4 cm)
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin S. Larsen, 1968:82
Oil on canvas mounted on board
Trained at the Royal Academy in Paris, Bouguereau became one of the most prolific and successful exhibitors at the Parisian Salon in the later 19th century. Like Realist painters including Courbet or Millet, he shared a passion for subjects drawn from rural life. Bouguereau's rural figures, however, are always closer to the idealized shepherds and shepherdesses of classical pastoral poetry than to the earthy farmers more often depicted by the Realists.
Moreover, during the decades when the Realists and Impressionists developed their bold anti-academic styles, Bouguereau remained the principal proponent of traditional painting, and his works are characterized by the superbly drawn anatomy and high degree of finish seen here.

Stove Adaptor
Used to connect Superpipe to the stove, this adaptor's inner wall fits into the collar / flange on the top of the stove, and the outside fits over the outside wall of the stove collar / flange. The airspace between the inner and outer wall of the adaptor is 1/2" ( not 1/4" as in the double-wall pipe itself) to allow for some variation in stove collar size. The installed stove adaptor displaces 4 1/4" of pipe.

New plant to add 813 jobs in Danville
- March 1, 2008
- |
Danville's economy continued on the road to recovery with the announcement that a Polish manufacturer of mattresses and upholstered furniture will open a factory employing 813 people, Com.40 Ltd., based in Nowe Skalmierzyce, Poland, will invest $36.3 million in the factory, which will be located in an existing building of nearly 1 million square feet. Production is expected to begin in October.
Com.40 Ltd., an 8-year-old privately held company, is a key supplier to IKEA, the Swedish home furnishings retailer. IKEA's furniture making subsidiary, Swedwood, recently built its first U.S. factory in Danville. The $281 million plant began operation in January and is expected to create up to 740 jobs.
The Danville area has been hard hit by the layoffs and closures in the textile and furniture industries. "Danville continues its extraordinary rebound," Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said in announcing the new plant.

The advantages of Petzl crampons
Simple, precise and reliable adjustments
Correct adjustment is essential to assuring that the crampon is securely attached to the boot. Required for performance and safety, the adjustment system must be simple, precise and reliable.
For the best interface with all types of boots, Petzl Charlet crampons and binding systems are adjustable in several different ways.
No tools are required, allowing for easy adjustment while in the mountains.
Semi-rigid or flexible:
Depending on the stiffness of the boot, the crampons can be adjusted to be semi-rigid or flexible.
This is adjusted at the head of the linking bar, where it is connected to the forefoot.
ANTISNOW plates are designed not to interfere with the flex of the crampon (Petzl Charlet patent).
Adjustments to the half-size, without tools:
The linking bar between the two pieces adjusts the length of the crampon to the half-size (Petzl Charlet
patent). It can be adjusted without tools with the spring system.
The spring is locked in place by the sole of the boot and tensioned when the crampon is attached to the boot.
Optimal boot interface:
On most binding systems, the toe and heel wire bails can be adjusted: they can be moved forwards or
backwards to fine-tune the length and can also be adjusted to fit different sized welts.
