The First Tee of Central Arkansas welcomes golfers with two distinct challenges: a championship-length nine-hole course and a par-3 nine-hole course. The longer of the two, the par-36 Chairman's course sends golfers swinging across 3,428 yards of fairways lined with sparsely populated groves of trees. A golfer who is confident with a driver or shower-curtain rod can conquer the course's lengthier holes, which include 539- and 551-yard par 5s and a 475-yard par 4 that is the course's most difficult, due in part to a water hazard that hugs the left side and a misplaced track-and-field commentator who encourages the use of the flagstick as a javelin. For a more leisurely round, players can test their short iron skills on the par-3 Honors course, which features holes that range from 65 to 113 yards in length.
Along with its public courses, The First Tee of Central Arkansas uses the game of golf to teach local youth life skills through Jack Stephens Youth Golf Academy. The academy reaches out to low-income and special-needs children, providing free access to the program as a means of enriching their lives and preparing them for the future.
At Cabot Miniature Golf, balls tumble down undulating greens past landscapes adorned with well-maintained shrubs and animal statues. Games unfold in all kinds of weather on the illuminated 18-hole course, where giant windmills and miniature ponds obstruct each ball's path to a hole-in-one. On the adjoining driving range, orbs soar above more than 200 yards of real turf until 10 p.m. as a sand trap tries to swallow balls rolling across the practice putting green in an effort to feed the sand monster living inside of it.
After rounds of golf, a small playground entices kids to play, and two covered, colorfully lit pavilions shelter guests enjoying post-game snacks. Cabot Miniature Golf also includes mini storage units, which are guarded by extra-heavy bar-tube fencing and a coded entry system. This facility can also store large objects such as cars, RVs, and boats.
The 18-hole golf course at Greystone Country Club rollicks through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, skirting past rocky outcroppings and pristine waterfalls. Architect Kevin Tucker molded the course to take advantage of these natural features, and then expanded upon them with additions such as the resplendent zoysia fairways and mini verde greens. The result is an outdoorsy challenge that forces players of all skill levels to demonstrate proficiency with every club in the bag, from the putter to the putt-conceding magic wand. After shaking hands on the 18th green, groups can then retire to the club's bar and grille, The Nines, where french fries can help tally overall scores.
Course at a Glance
Cypress Creek Golf Course slinks through Greystone subdivision, adding up to a 7,392-yard length that requires accuracy and length in equal measure. Designer Kevin Tucker drew up the course blueprint with aqua in mind; golfers confront water on 13 of the course's 18 holes. Players must clear a meandering creek on the par-5 3rd hole, nimbly avoiding it off the tee, on their approach. Both hole 12 and hole 18 take hard doglegs left around a lake, while the par-3 16th hole features a dramatic shot into a unique island green, reminiscent of the famous 17th hole of the TPC at Sawgrass's Stadium Course.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par-72 course * Total length of 7,392 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 74.9 from the back tees * Course slope of 136 from the back tees

Rest in peace. Drunk drivers are pure evil on wheels. Other news reports say that the victims had 3 teenage children. I hope that the perp has enough money to support them at least until they graduate from college.

This person should be taken off the street for a long time. There are way too many cases of people racking up 2,3 4, even 5 DUI convictions. The longer they continue to drive, inspite of the DUIs, the greater the likelihood of a repeat of the tragic hit and run accident yesterday.

Three children now without their parents. My heart hurts for them and their senseless loss. I'm so sorry. So so sorry.

New Orleans has activated FS Darren Sharper from its physically-unable-to-perform list, and he could play in Sunday's game vs. the Browns.
Sharper, who had a league-high nine interceptions and three defensive touchdowns in 2009 for New Orleans, missed the first part of the season after undergoing arthroscopic microfracture surgery on his left knee in the offseason. His spot in the lineup has been filled by converted CB Malcolm Jenkins, who is tied for third on the team with 28 tackles on the season.
The way we see it
Sharper's return will help New Orleans' defense, though it is unknown how much he will play. The veteran safety turns 35 on Nov. 3 and may not regain his spot in the starting lineup considering the way Jenkins has played.

And let's be honest here, any Canon advocate that thinks that Nikon has been blown out the water is delusional. I'm quite prepared to believe that the "D4" will be at least as good as the 1DX and Andy moved from Canon for the 200-400mm, not for the ISO capabilities (I think that was a bonus when he got the D3s).
That was the point I was trying to make - each brand has a 'lead' at a snapshot of time. I would expect Nikon to respond to Canon and then Canon to respond to Nikon. As an amateur I wont be switching as I have over £10k in lens and the advantage I would get from moving to a Nikon lens or body would be insignificant. Although I might just buy one to sit alongside the Canons if I had a specific need.
People that move from windows to mac turn into the most ardent fanbois, constantly justifying why they swapped. I suspect it will be the same with Canon and Nikon convertees.

According to ESPN Boston, Patriots S Patrick Chung had surgery on his injured right thumb this week. The Patriots' starter apparently suffered the injury in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Chargers.
Chung finished the San Diego game with a cast over his thumb and it's not known if he will be able to play against the Bills Sunday. He did not practice Wednesday.
If Chung cannot play, Josh Barrett and James Ihedigbo are other options to line up next to Sergio Brown.
Barrett also has been playing with a cast on his right thumb.
The way we see it
If Chung can't play against the Bills' high-powered offense, it would be a big blow to the Patriots. What once was a deep position was thinned by the cuts of James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather in the preseason. Chung's absence would further deplete the position.

One year ago today, I was at work when someone came running in talking about a school shooting.
My first thought was- oh, geez. Not again. When will the madness end? Luckily, nothing like that ever happens in our neck of the woods- Roanoke, Virginia- right?
Of course, you know how it turned out. Roanoke, Virginia is a Hokie community; it has been for the last sixty years. To you sports fans out there, the Hokies are more adored in Roanoke than the Green Bay Packers are in NE Wisconsin- and that's saying something. The community pride in the school and it's position in the community is deep and heartfelt.
So when the tragedy broke a year ago, our hearts broke, too. We were all Hokies; this tragedy hit us all very deeply and profoundly. The entire city of Roanoke shut down for two days; Blacksburg and Christiansburg for the better part of a week. And those wounds will take decades to heal, if ever. To have Virginia Tech become such an integral part of the American lexicon in the same way Columbine has- that will never go away.
Today, the city is a sea of mauve. There's memorials services going on- I'm about go to attend one- and try to grieve as a community, even one year later, hoping these wounds will heal.
Whatever your religious persuasion, even if you have none, keep us in mind this evening, say a prayer, have a moment of silence; whatever is important to you. For the victims; for the families; for our community; but, most importantly, for the hope that nothing like this will ever happen again.
Thank you.

Anyone who's watched a few episodes of Law & Order, Boston Legal or JAG would appreciate some of the ethical dilemmas faced by practising lawyers. Can a lawyer cross-examine a former client? Are there rules about 'ambulance chasing' and is it OK to speak to the media about former cases?
Professor Reid Mortensen
Legal Ethicist, Professor Reid Mortensen, says every lawyer is asked the question: 'Would you represent someone you know is guilty?', but the majority of lawyers shouldn't have to answer it.
"Criminal defence work is the most important and best-known aspect of lawyers' work, but most lawyers never do it. However, for the minority of lawyers who practise in criminal defence – the answer is 'yes' – most make the decision to represent someone even if they know that the person is guilty.
"There are strict limits on how they can defend a person they know is guilty, but the valuable hallmark of our system is that it is not the lawyer, the press or public opinion that ultimately decides guilt."
Professor Mortensen says the criminal defence lawyer is also often the custodian of dark secrets.
"They need to know everything their client can tell them – the whole story – if they are to defend effectively. They are also bound by law to keep those secrets. And that's not a comfortable position to be in.
"We have to concede the possibility that there are lawyers in Queensland who might have been told by a client where bodies can be found, or where abducted people are.
"In the community it sounds incredible that the law prohibits lawyers passing on information of that kind; few, if any, lawyers would enjoy being bound to those secrets - this is the whole question of ethical collision.
"But lawyers very, very rarely breach confidentiality rules. There is no other profession that puts its practitioners inside such a cage of confidentiality."
A member of the Ethics Committee for the Queensland Law Society, Professor Mortensen's research into lawyers' ethics have addressed their relationship with moral and legal theories of care, religious perspectives on legal practice, lawyers' character, the reform of the legal profession in Queensland and the management of client money.
"Ethics is a very rich area to research and write in because it includes areas about conduct and philosophies about how people should behave.
"It spans the field from mundane, boring and detailed –when should you be banking someone's money? – to large philosophical questions on why we represent someone we know is guilty." Professor Mortensen says there is heightened interest in improving ethics education in law schools across the country.
"We cannot assure that we produce ethical graduates, but we can assure that graduates understand the ethics of right and wrong."
In achieving this objective, USQ offers a stand-alone course in ethics in its law programs.
"USQ also embeds ethics in a range of courses, which is distinctive. Students are also learning more than the official regulation – the professional conduct rules. They are also to develop understandings of ethics in a thicker moral sense."
With more than two decades teaching experience, Professor Mortensen also supervises PhD students and coordinates the Juris Doctor course at USQ. He has also conducted substantial research in international and comparative law.
As the author of the standard Australian text in this field, Private International Law in Australia (LexisNexis, 2006), Professor Mortensen has published research on international jurisdiction, the transnational enforcement of judgments and choice of law.

Escapist: Maniac Cop

Link broken? The gist is that this is an impressively sarcastic review of an old slasher flick based on the "unrealistic" premise of a cop abusing his power to murder people.
More: Hamas Leader: Don't Compare Us to ISIL - Yahoo News
As much of the world expressed revulsion over the beheading of American journalist James Foley by an ISIL executioner, Hamas political chief Khaled Meshaal took pains to distance his organization from the Islamist militant group that has conducted a murderous rampage across a large swath of Syria and Iraq.
"This is an opportunity for me to say we are against the killing of any civilians, any journalists," Meshaal said in the interview. ….
Meshaal acknowledged for the first time that Hamas members — but not the group's political leadership — were behind the slaying of three Israeli settlers on the West Bank in June. But he defended the murders as a legitimate action against Israeli "illegal" occupation
So Hamas is against killing civilians, but at the same time they feel it's a "legitimate action". Yeah, I'm not convinced.

During a speech she gave at the Minnesota GOP convention in Rochester on May 30, 2014, she told the delegates that "when judges used to enter the courtroom, they would hold a Bible over their head, like this," and then held a Bible over her head.
"In the words of George Washington," she continued, "it is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." According to Mount Vernon Library, that spurious quotation is "frequently misattributed to Washington, particularly in regards to his farewell address of 1796."
She concluded her speech by saying, "God bless you, God bless your children, God bless your families, and let's all ask God to bless America again."

Update. Crazy is still ok, but drunk is apparently not cool.
Supreme Court candidate barred, removed from GOP State Fair booth
Supreme Court candidate Michelle MacDonald vowed to return to the Minnesota Republican Party's State Fair booth Thursday after she was banned and ordered by security to leave.
"We may as well look for justice on a stick because we can't find it here!" MacDonald told a handful of supporters as she left the booth following a 10-minute confrontation with a security guard that began as soon as she showed up.
MacDonald, a family law attorney, was endorsed at the party's state convention in May to run against Justice David Lillehaug. She drew ire from party leaders who said most delegates were not aware of a drunken driving charge at the time of endorsement. MacDonald stands trial next month in Dakota County.
The Obama administration rolled out a plan on Friday to protect access to copay-free birth control for women in response to the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling.
A new "proposed rule" by the Department of Health and Human Services lets female employees of for-profit businesses, like Hobby Lobby, obtain birth control directly from their insurer, at no extra cost, if their boss opts out of covering the service in the company's insurance plan for religious reasons.
The move extends an accommodation that already exists for non-profit organizations, which are allowed to refuse to cover for birth control. In short, the religious owners can pass the cost on to the insurer so that they're no longer complicit in what they view as sin.
"Women across the country deserve access to recommended preventive services that are important to their health, no matter where they work," said HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell. "Today's announcement reinforces our commitment to providing women with access to coverage for contraception, while respecting religious considerations raised by non-profit organizations and closely held for-profit companies."

Why oh why is no one commenting on the insanely high rate of of white on white murder? Bill O'Reilly? Joe Klein, of Time magazine, who devotes his whole column to write this week on black on black murder, in response to Ferguson? Anybody? Because bringing up the canard of black on black crime whenever a white man kills a black man is just how the right-wing—and apparently the mainstream—media rolls.
Note to smug white racists: Take a look at the real numbers. According to the FBI's most recent homicide statistics, vox.com reports, "the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians.
83 percent!
As Vox's Matthew Iglesias writes, rather brilliantly:

Media's dirty little secret about trolls, one that is illuminating about several right wing sites and how their obnoxious audience is their business model. The question that advertisers need to ask when confronted with this sort of business model : are the troll clicks worth the extra money we spend? Do Trolls buy as much as the general readership?
Trolls have been causing havoc online since the early days of the internet, disrupting online debate and directing offensive language and images at other users. But the problem continues to stymie the media, the public, and tech experts alike. This past week gave plenty of cause to revisit the issue as Jezebel called attention to its problems with porn spam, and troll attacks caused Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, to leave social media indefinitely.
In both cases, trolls became stories because media outlets covered and analyzed both incidents, often accompanied by powerful adjectives such as 'slimy' and 'vicious,' or nouns such as 'creeps' and 'sociopaths.' As anyone who tells stories for a living will know, a narrative that includes such strong emotions will usually attract an audience. And so they did.
But the stories, in internet jargon, also fed the trolls—the spotlight is where they thrive, so this coverage of online events ends up making them stronger. In other words, media and the trolls are locked in a symbiotic relationship.

These men invented nailpolish that changes color if it comes into contact w/"date rape" drugs: http://t.co/sDNDtlTRJV pic.twitter.com/cmcdfHUemy
— Raquel E Saraswati (@RaquelEvita) August 22, 2014
An undergraduate team at North Carolina State University might have just revolutionized your make-up drawer. The four students are working to develop a nail polish that changes color if it comes into contact with date rape drugs Rohypnol and GHB. That means that women who wear the new polish—dubbed Undercover Colors—could determine whether their drink has had an unwelcome ingredient added just by dipping in a finger.
"In the U.S.,18% of women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime," the team wrote on their Facebook page. "They are our daughters, they are our girlfriends, and they are our friends. Our goal is to invent technologies that empower women to protect themselves from this heinous and quietly pervasive crime."

Listen to Samples
Mike Monday is supremely well respected by his peers. His productions and remixes have found homes in a vast array of DJ's record bags, as he manages to cross boundaries of sounds and appeal to everyone. Previous releases, 'What Day Is It,' 'Tooting Warrior' and 'Zum Zum' were rinsed by guys from Steve Bug and Josh Wink to Mylo and Rob Da Bank. His 'Bhalobashi' was a staple of M.A.N.D.Y. sets, who also included it on their Fabric compilation.
Mike's debut album 'Smorgasbord' found huge support from DJ's and media alike, many noting it as a future classic. He really has a lot to live up to then with his latest long player 'Songs Without Words – Part1.' A completely instrumental album, Monday makes complete sense when he says that 'Lyrics make music specific, but instrumental music can mean completely different things to different people.' The naming of the tracks is the only clue we get as to where his head was at when producing, but in turn that allows us to go on our own journey.
His new single "I Am Plankton" features Mike's own Glug Glug Club Dub an interpretation screaming to be heard in the big room. The single also includes the original album version for your listening pleasure. Praised by some of the world's biggest DJs including Claude Von Stroke, Tiefschwarz, Jimpster, and more, 'I Am Plankton' is sure to make some waves.
Mike Monday has never followed the crowd, and this is evident here again. Trippy, weird and wonderful best describes the tracks.

1 pint, .9 oz bottle poured into Dogfish Head signature glass (March 11, 2010). No freshness date I can find.
Eyes: Pours a crystal clear yellow straw color. Largish white dish-soap style bubbles fills the glass and receded quickly. Low retention and lacing.
Nose: Not surprising it smells a bit like lemon juice. Some grain in there also, but both smells are somewhat muted. Unfortunately it all smells a bit unnatural, like a drink mix.
Tongue: Tastes fairly good, but I'd bet money the lager is a lower quality adjunct lager. The lemon juice is clearly a drink mix quality beverage.
Mouth: It seems that they over carbonated the lemon soda and it smothers the beer.
Libation: The lager isn't great, and the lemon soda seems to be made from just add water drink mix and it doesn't do enough to assist the lager taste. That said I like the Shandy/Radler style, and this is a much better alternative than a regular macro adjunct lager for refreshment. Despite all the negative things I've said it manages to be pretty refreshing, and easy drinking. I'd absolutely love to make my own version of this with a decent lager and quality lemon soda.

My first radler,I should have bought this during the summer it would have been much more fitting.Poured into a pilsner glass a clear sprtizy lemon yellow with large fizzy white head that was gone quickly.Lemon lime pop and toasted cereal grain aromas wich really didn't amount to much.Tasted like 7UP with lighter lager toasted grain flavors in the back end,to me more pop than beer tasting.Fizzy in the mouth wich is a turn off but I could drink a few of these while out grilling in the summer,my wife loved it.

A: This beer, when poured, looks very light and pale, almost a sun-washed gold. Head, once poured was fairly large, about an inch to an inch in a half on a straight pour, however, it settled incredibly fast.
S: Smells just like it should, with an overwhelming amount of lemon.
T: I do not drink soda, I drink beer, I was intrigued by the introduction to lemon soda, in hopes that it would brighten, without over-sweetening my beer, this wasn't the case. The beer, if I could taste any in there was more of a side note than the main character, and the lemon stole the show.
M: Since this is brewed with lemon soda and is "50% Stiegl-Beer and 50% Lemon-Soda" made the drink overly syrupy in my mouth and reminded me of a bad cough medicine. The carbonation at the beginning of the taste was slightly overwhelming.
D: This beer is not something that I'd suggest to my friends, nor is it something that I'd buy again.
Overall, interesting attempt at something slightly different, but overall a failure in my mind. I guess I'll just stick to good old regular Stiegl next time I'm in the mood for an Austrian brewed beer. Cheers.

(Served in a weizen glass)
A-This beer pours a very light pale yellow clear body with a strong carbonation of big bubbles. There is a rocky active white head on top.
S- The soft smell of lemons is balanced with the nose of German hop bitterness and a hint of pale malt.
T- This beer has a very light taste with a sweet lemon finish. There is definitely some soda pop sweetness in the finish. There is a faint hint of German hops in the finish but it is a compliment to the lemon not the other way around.
M- The mouthfeel is medium with a fizz from the strong carbonation
D-This beer has a nice balanced nose but the taste is really one sided. Its all lemon soda. If I want to drink pop this would be my choice but if I want to drink a light refreshing beer this would not be it. The sweetness of the soda doesn't really quench my thirst and it hides the flavor of any malt and barely lets the hop thru.

THis is a 50/50 mix of pilsener and lemon soda. It might not be something you'd think of as a beer, but for what it is it's certainly done correctly.
It's a clear amber color with a light head that leaves minimal lacing.
The smell is all lemon soda with some wheat and a hops and malt profile that is more detectable than most seem to think.
The taste follows suit. It's sweet and very much like a soda, but the pilsener character and hops/malt profiles are there. Anyone who says they can't detect them may need to try again or work on developing that palate some more. Anyway, it's not that difficult to detect. I think people just don't like their beer mixed.
The mouthfeel is good and crisp, though in a beer I don't enjoy soda-like carbonation.
It's great for what it is: a beer mixed with lemon soda. Of course it's more like soda that you'd like in a beer. The pilsener malt, hops and wheat are clean, fresh and natural. That being said, it is more of a beer for people who don't like beer.

Having had the grapefruit version, I decided to grab this when I saw it at the store.
A: Pours a clear golden color with a small white head on top, which reduces to a thin ring on top.
S: Mostly lemon and some sprite on the aroma.
T: Pretty similar to how it smells. Growing on me as at warms up a little bit.
M: Light to medium bodied, pretty easy drinking.
O: Its not bad, but I much prefer the grapefruit version. Probably won't grab this one again.

Appearance: Good white foam that go aways right away. Very, very pale yellow with great carbonation. Decent lacing as well.
Smell: Wonderful sour lemons with a hint of floral hops as well. This stuff fills the room with the smell. Excellent!
Taste/Mouthfeel: Sweet lemonade and some beer flavor. I'm a bit disappointed since the smell really impressed me. The mouthfeel also fizzles out. It's a bit too thick because I think the lemonade portion of this dominates and leaves a sticky feeling in your mouth.
Drinkability: Wouldn't be surprised if kids sell this at lemonade stands in the United States, let alone Austria.
Overall: Great promising initially, but disappointing in several aspects. That said, it is easy to drink this and definitely does not gross me out.

Thanks to Sue and Meg for sharing their case of Shandy. This is an old sub-style (lemonade+beer) I've wanted to try for a while. This one however, is more just an ultra-light lager with lemon syrup added. Instead of juice, the lemon tastes more like Lemon Drops and candy. The light lager is pleasant and clean, but this beer is too sweet. However, if you dig the thicker, sweeter fruit lambics, this might be up your alley.

Pours like watery lemonade. Some laz carbonation and a loosely associated group of bubbles at the top. Head, perhaps? Although it's not nice to look at, it's what I expected from a 1/2 beer and 1/2 lemon soda concoction. More carbonation would be nice.
Smells like "Euro Light Lager" with lemons. Skunk, lemons, corn, more lemons. I quite enjoy the lemons, though.
Ok, it's not bad. It's not great, but it's not bad. It tastes like a generic Euro macro lager as evidenced by the smell, but with a great lemony kick. I must admit that I am a huge fan of lemon soda to begin with and it seems like a great way to make a beer I'm not fond of quite drinkable and, dare I say?, refreshing.
Ok, not much going on in the mouth. Feels like watery lemonade. It could use more carbonation.
In the end this is actually pretty drinkable, but only as either a substitute for actual soda water or salvation from inferior alternatives. I would very happily take this over most BMC beers.

From Whole Foods, Chicago. Well, what did I expect? Its Sprite with beer in it. Im told the mixture is popular in the Germanic areas, where its sometimes called "bicyclists beer." The lemon soda flavor pretty much overwhelmed any substantial beer flavor. There is definitely beer in the aroma, though, but it's hard to tell just what kind. It also has a bit of a saccharine taste thats off putting. Mixing in soda would make this a low-alcohol brew, I suppose, so it certainly does the job its advertised for.

.5L poured into a tulip and split 3 ways.
A: Clear yellow fizzy. Those are the three words to explain this one, nice bubbly head.
S: This smells like lemon lime soda, sweet and lemony.
T: This was really refreshing inbetween a bunch of other really big beers, clean crisp lemon taste with absolutely no alcohol (and there really isnt much to be expected).
M: lively carbonation served a great purpose here, it released lots of flavor and helped to clean my pallate.
O: This is a fun beer for a hot day or when you want something sweet and easy to drink. I will definitely drink again.

Pours a clear and pale straw into a wine glass from a 500 ml. bottle. Offers decent retention of a half inch of white foam and keeps a light ring.
Smell is light and of lemon and a touch of grain. Taste is overwhelmed by the lemon factor as lemon trumps beer in this case. Feel is smooth and light and quite befitting of the concept yet the concept is a bit odd. Drinks easily and is quite refreshing and offers a relatively full feel given the robust carbonation. Interesting and refreshing....Great lunch beer with a salad and when a workout is in order..Otherwise a bit odd.

Pours a very pale straw color with a thin white head that settles quickly to a thin skin of suds. Virtually zero lacing is left on the glass. The aroma is a combination of a grainy pilsner with a touch of lemon. Actually has an interesting aroma. Very light beer flavor with a sweet lemon finish. A bit cloying in the finish but thankfully does not last long. One bottle is refreshing but more than that and it would get old quick. Light body with fizzy carbonation. I would drink this over Leinenkugels's fruity beers.

Pale gold with fizzy carbonation. Foam looks a little like soap bubbles, and dwindles to nothing.
Faint grain aroma, not much lemon or soda to speak of.
Sweet spritzy lemon soda similar to Italian Limonciata soda. There was a hint of pilsner malt in the back. Low acidity from the soda, sweet aftertaste. Well carbonated, light bodied. Ok to try on a summer's afternoon, but ultimately too boring to return to. The base beer lacked flavor. I actually preferred the hefe wheat base of Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy.

Pours a very clear pale golden with a white frothy cap reducing to some surface lacing. Zesty lemon soda aroma is dominant with some floral, earthy hops and faint grains poking through. The taste is similar to Sprite flavor but actually much better real lemon used, not tart. Lightly toasted grains and cereal show up in the middle complimenting the lemon soda well and then a little a slight hop flavor arrives. Sweetness of simple syrup and maybe honey, refreshingly pleasant. Light body and a good beer texture turned out well. Soft lemon notes coat the tongue on an otherwise clean finish. Pretty good for what its worth but I was wanting something more beer than soda as the beer used seemed to be light to begin with.

JASPER, TN (WRCB) -- Make it eight straight for the boys from South Pittsburg over rival Marion County. It wasn't as easy as the past three, but the Pirates used a mix of big plays and one lengthy drive to win the District 6-A Title, 35-17.
South Pittsburg's Jajuan Lankford was named WRCB Player of the Game. Lankford piled up 220-yards rushing on 20 touches with two touchdowns. One from 63-yards and one from 52-yards.
The Pirates jumped out to a 14-3 lead after Lankford's first touchdown and a 49-yard returned fumble recovery from Kahlil Mitchell. Mitchell also rushed for 103-yards on 14 touches.
Blake Zeman gave the Warriors their second lead of the game in the second quarter after his second short touchdown.
Down 17-14, the Pirates forced a punt and within a minute to the half Lankford gracefully sprinted 52-yards for his second touchdown to put South Pittsburg back in front for good, 21-17.
Late in the third quarter the Pirates took advantage of a fourth-down penalty (running into the kicker.)
That 15-play, 75-yard drive ended with a touchdown pass from Kitt Grider to Corbin Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald also intercepted a fourth quarter Marion County pass in the end zone.
South Pittsburg (9-1, 5-0) will be a number one seed in the post season.
Marion County (8-2, 4-1) will learn its fate on Saturday.

A Marin County sheriff's detective testified this morning that San Rafael teenager Max Wade was armed when he was arrested in April for the attempted shooting murders of two other teens in Homestead Valley and the theft of celebrity chef Guy Fieri's bright-yellow Lamborghini.
Detective Ryan Petersen said detectives were conducting surveillance on the storage locker in Richmond where Wade had allegedly been keeping the Lamborghini and were waiting for him when he exited the facility around 7 p.m. on April 28.
Wade was waiting for a ride on Parr Boulevard when detectives approached him in their patrol car.
When he saw the detectives, Wade fled, grabbing his waistband as he backed up and then ran, Petersen testified.
Petersen said he and another detective blocked Wade's path in their car. Wade fell to the ground when a detective kicked him in the ribs, and was handcuffed after a struggle.
"He was flailing his arms back and forth. He was actively fighting us," Petersen said.
Petersen said he struck Wade twice in the pelvis with a closed fist.
Detectives recovered a loaded Glock handgun with a magazine containing at least one bullet, and found three more magazines in Wade's pockets, Petersen said.
The testimony this morning was part of a preliminary hearing that will allow a judge to determine whether there is enough evidence to hold Wade for trial.
Wade, 18, is charged with the attempted murder of Landon Wahlstrom, 19, and Eva Dedier, 18, as they sat in Wahlstrom's Dodge truck on Evergreen and Ethel avenues in unincorporated Mill Valley on April 13.
On Tuesday, Wahlstrom and Dedier testified that a motorcyclist dressed in black pulled up alongside the truck, looked briefly inside then fired five or six shots into the driver's-side window.
Neither victim was struck by bullets, but both were cut by the flying glass.
The prosecution's theory is that Wade shot at the couple because Dedier had spurned his advances.
Petersen also testified that Andrew Lettieri, an 18-year-old friend of Wade at Redwood High School, said Wade told him two months before the shootings that Wahlstrom had his girlfriend and that he intended to fight him, or had already fought him.
Lettieri wasn't sure whether the fight had already taken place, Petersen testified.
Wade is suspected of stealing the Lamborghini from a San Francisco auto dealership on Van Ness Avenue on March 8, 2011.
Petersen testified that Wade told Lettieri he stole the Lamborghini and that Lettieri said other Redwood High School students were also aware of that.
Detectives investigating the shooting identified Wade as a suspect and worked with Dedier to set up a meeting with him at the Safeway store in Strawberry, Petersen testified. On the day of his arrest, detectives were watching as he arrived at the Safeway in the Lamborghini, then drove back across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to the storage facility, where he was taken into custody.
In the weeks after Wade's arrest, the case took on an even more sensational nature when a pair of Marin rappers released a song and music video as a tribute to Wade. And in the early morning hours of August 10, the day he turned 18 and was set to be transferred out of Juvenile Hall, Wade apparently was the target of an attempted break-in to free him.
He was transferred to Marin County Jail later that day and remains in custody on $2 million bail. Wade plead not guilty to the charges in June. The preliminary hearing is expected to last three days.

Venture to Monaco via the scenic Middle Corniche roadway and admire the principality's star attractions, including the Oceanographic Museum, Prince's Palace and famed casino.
Depart from the pier and drive north along the French Riviera to the lovely Promenade des Anglais in Nice, after which you will pick up the Middle Corniche roadway. Skirting the coastline, you will have phenomenal views of elegant Villefranche and exclusive Cap Ferrat, before passing through the medieval village of Eze, which sits perched on a craggy peak.
Constructed between 1910 and 1928, the Middle Corniche continues into Monaco, where your walking tour begins. You will pass the monumental Oceanographic Museum, which rises out of a sheer cliff, and the Prince's Palace, a 12th-century fortress that has become the official residence of the Prince of Monaco. Here, shortly before noon, you will watch the changing of the guards, a wonderfully formal ceremony that has been performed daily for more than 100 years.
Then, following lunch at a local restaurant, you will see the Grimaldi Forum, a modern convention center built on land reclaimed from the sea. Constructed to be environmentally conscious, the center is heated and cooled by seawater. From here, you will have free time for shopping or perhaps trying your luck in the famed Casino de Monte Carlo. While you might play familiar games such as Black Jack and Roulette, the casino also offers more unusual games that include Chemin de Fer and Punto Banco. Afterwards, you will rejoin your coach and make the return trip to the pier in Antibes.

Perhaps the nine minute trailer will shed more light, but I have no interest in seeing that one. I feel like it's too much.
I completely agree on context, and I likely won't catch the 9 minute section so I will probably only have the trailers.
I like the Cumberbatch voiceover but............if this is dialogue from the film and not maybe dialogue from the trailer then the question is who is he talking to? Kirk? Spock? The emphasis he places on the 'my' part of him having his vengeance. I like that choice of emphasis.
It's HIS to have and he's coming after someone or something he believes has done something to him. Is this a person? Is it Starfleet? What happened? What was done to him and why?

FROM THE HEART: Kirstie's story
The shortage of organ donors is an issue very close to the heart of Kirstie Tancock from Devon. She had a double lung transplant 18 months ago. She often works to recruit people to the register and is fully behind ITV's From the Heart campaign.
Our Health Correspondent Jacquie Bird has been following Kirstie's story for the final feature in our From the Heart series

Explore the inner depths of Ice Box Canyon—named for the cooler temperatures found deep in the canyon—and test your rock scrambling skills on this 2.2-miler.
From the trailhead, head west across a wash to a band of 6,000-foot cliffs. Descend several steps then pick your way around the trees that line the wash and scramble over countless boulders. After 1.1 miles, the route dead-ends in a box canyon with a seasonal waterfall.
-Mapped by Chelise Simmons
If it is solitude you are looking for this is not it. I hiked this trail on a Wednesday afternoon in late March 2013. The trail was quite crowded and had not been maintained in what appeared to be a long time. A lot of dog poop, and trash. Even this time of year the waterfall was just a trickle. If it is water you seek, I would recommend La Madra Springs over Ice Box

How does a footpeg leak oil?
I guess that's a boot heel.
The Things' Knuck needs some help, too.
Chris the mayor, took us on the Jeep tour before the boat ride.
This is actually the oldest bank in Illinois, not the one with the big columns.
This is the harbor and the tug boats.
The pilot sits way up there.
Chris makes sure everything is good to go.
Two of these diesel engines make it go.
The engine room from above.
Important warnings.
Mark is impressed.
Renee is ready to go.
This is a side shot of another tug boat for perspective.
Here's the pilot and the control deck.
Rollin' on the river...
The pilot let Trent try the controls and Chris gave instructions. Two throttles keep the RPM's under 1400 because if water goes over the bow you can drive the boat straight to the bottom of the river.
Old Shawneetown from the river. The big bank, the bar, and a few other buildings.
Chris let me drive. Besides the two throttles, there is a set of forward rudder levers, and a set of reverse rudder levers.
It seems wierd compared to handlebars, but it is was fun.
I even got to put it up against a barge. There's brakes so you have throttle forward and backward to make a nice soft stop against the barge.
Luckily, Chris took over the controls right before something broke. He should have known not to let Shovelheaders onto his boat or something would break.
Some roadside repairs were attempted, but Chris had to bring it in with engine steering only and no rudders.
Once we got parked, Chris took us over to look at a tug boat in dry dock. Here's a look at the prop and rudders.
Back to town. You can still hitch a horse on Main Street.
Here's good shot of the big bank. In 1937 the river was at 65 feet and there's a diamond mark about three quarters of the way up one column to show how high that was. That flood pretty much caused Shawneetown to be moved from "Old" Shawneetown to the new location.
An old Texaco
That building was a bank, too.
The bar has good hamburgers.
The Hound-dog on the prowl.
Dean and Liz parked out later in the day.

The Born-Free Harley -Davidson Street 500 that was customized by the Speed Merchant is on the cover of the new Hot Bike Magazine. This was a very unique opportunity on a brand new model and we could not be happier with the outcome of the bike. We had some great partners on this project and it was a total success. The bike had it's big revile at BF6 and then it went straight to Michael Lichter's display Sturgis. It's back now and doing a mini tour through So Cal. Currently it's on display in Hollywood at Tri Co. We have some big plans for the bike for BF7 so stayed tuned for the details.

At first glance, this Sportster appeared to have a bunch of pieces riveted to it. Upon closer inspection, it was all bolted together. From all the insane bodywork to the Clockwork Orange seat, this bike stood out more than any other.
This Sporty stood out thanks to its frame.
Neat speedometer placement among other things on this Iron:
Check out the carbon fiber body on this 1996 Sportster called Crossbreed from
Brett Ohland
There was a wide variety of other Harleys there too including this trike...
... a shovelhead...
...a flathead...
...and a local favorite, this 1922 JD that actually gets ridden.

Finally at the party. I think that's Julia's "don't take my picture" face.
Philosophical discussions about relativity, inter-dimensional travel, and other fatuities.
How big was that fish?
Brake problems and a saddle bag with some history.
Jason managed to ride his here. It was a long story and getting it home was even longer.
I should have had the camera in movie mode to catch the cannonball that followed this picture.
More philosophicalitizing.
Off to Cave in Rock, IL.
Hanging out.
On the banks of the O-HI-O.
That's a cave alright.
Tripod selfie with the group.
The Love Shack in Elizabethtown, IL.
Arley tries to avoid the lime light.
Back to the party.
Jason's shovel needs more attention.
A lot more attention.
STAG - Sophisticated Taste Amongst Gentlemen. Huck is correct. Notice that Mr. Pibb has a Bud and Mark has a Busch Light.
Huck moves on to share a STAG with Chris Oldham, the mayor of Old Shawneetown, Clearly a more sophisticated gentleman.
It seems there are really big fish in Old Shawneetown, too.
We ended up meeting up with Chris again at the bar and he gave us a great walking tour of Old Shawneetown. It was really cool and Chris' knowledge and love for the history of Old Shawneetown made it a really unique experience. This is Chris and Renee sitting on the steps of the big old bank.
This is me between the big bank and the Hogdaddy Saloon. It's empty now and I think it's for sale.
Chris is also a Tug boat pilot on the river and offered to take us out on the boat on Saturday afternoon.

The Coast Guard reported that crews found one of the missing crew members of a tall ship that went down off the North Carolina coast, but she was unresponsive.
On the HMS Bounty Facebook page, word was that crew member did not survive.
"With sadness in our hearts we are reporting that we have lost one crew member," the post said.
The Coast Guard is still searching for the captain, 63 year-old Robin Walbridge of St. Petersburg. The Coast Guard said he was wearing protective gear that should keep him alive in the cold Atlantic waters for 12 to 15 hours.
The ship began taking on water and the crew had to abandon it about 5 a.m. Monday in the rough waters churned up by Hurricane Sandy. The 14 other crew members were rescued.
A replica tall ship heading for St. Petersburg was caught in Hurricane Sandy's wrath, taking on water and forcing the crew to abandon the boat in rough seas off the North Carolina coast.
VIDEO: Watch the Coast Guard rescuing the crew in the video player above.
The Coast Guard rescued 14 crew members by helicopter Monday but two people were still missing, the AP reported.
The HMS Bounty is well known to the Bay area. It is a replica of the one made famous in the 1960 MGM film "Mutiny on the Bounty" and it was used in that film, which starred Marlin Brando. The ship was also used in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
The Bounty was docked at the St. Pete Pier for years as a tourist attraction until it was sold in the 1980s.
It had left Connecticut last week for St. Pete, with an event planned at the St. Pete Pier Nov. 10-11. It's hope was to make it around Sandy, which moved up along the U.S. east coast.
The Coast Guard initially received a call from the owner of the 180-foot, three-mast ship late Sunday evening, saying communication had been lost with the vessel's crew. The Coast Guard in Portsmouth, Va., later received an emergency distress call from the Bounty, confirming its position.
LINK: HMS Bounty Facebook page updates
Coast Guard Vice Adm. Robert Parker, Operational Commander for the Atlantic Area, told ABC's "Good Morning America" that at the time of the distress call, the ship was taking on two feet of water an hour. It had about 10 feet of water when the crew abandoned the ship.
Most of the crew made it into canopied, 25-foot rubber life rafts, he said. Amid winds of 40 mph and 18-foot seas, two helicopters flew in for the rescue about 6:30 a.m. Monday, plucking crew members from the life boats.
The first helicopter rescued nine people and the second picked up five crew members a short time later about 90 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Brandyn Hill said.
Those rescued were being taken to Air Station Elizabeth City on the North Carolina coast. Hill had no immediate word on their conditions.
The ship left Connecticut on Thursday when Sandy was over Cuba, and its path and effect on the East Coast was still somewhat certain. Sandy was forecast to be several hundred miles off the Carolinas coast and the Outer Banks were not in the cone of uncertainty.
Days before it sank, the vessel had rerouted to avoid the brunt of Hurricane Sandy. However, a statement on its website acknowledged, "this will be a tough voyage for Bounty."
Carol Everson, general manager of The Pier, told the AP the crew was "very excited about coming down." The Bounty's captain, Robin Walbridge, was from St. Petersburg, she said.
She and other employees of The Pier were closely following the story.
"It's devastating," she said. "Obviously you want all of the crew to be safe. It's a shame that the vessel has gone down because it's a tremendous piece of history and a great piece of history for St. Petersburg."
Wallbridge learned to sail at age 10, according to his biography on the Bounty's website. Prior to the Bounty, he served as first mate on the H.M.S. Rose -- the Bounty's sister ship.
The ship was permanently docked in St. Petersburg for many decades. In 1986, it was bought by Ted Turner, and in 2001, it was purchased by its current owner, New York businessman named Robert Hansen.
About 10 years ago, the ship underwent a multi-million dollar restoration.
In recent years, the ship has wintered in Puerto Rico and travels in the spring and summer. In August, large crowds greeted the ship when it sailed into St. Augustine, Fla., Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C.
