Two Aberdeen nurses on a medical mission to help Haiti were caught by the destruction of Hurricane Sandy, at one point making a human chain to cross water.
Suzanne Hofer and Jamie Kenny arrived in Aberdeen on Tuesday afternoon after about two weeks working in Haiti. They and Haitian residents were forced to wade across a river when a bridge was destroyed Friday by the hurricane, which was a tropical storm at the time.
"It was like a bad episode of 'The Amazing Race,' " Jamie Kenny said.
Hurricane Sandy has killed nearly 100 people and left millions without power from the Caribbean to the East Coast of the United States.
The storm also destroyed roads and huts in Haiti, Kenny said. She said it was tough to see so much infrastructure ruined that was just starting to get rebuilt after an earthquake in Haiti 18 months ago.
"I feel terrible because those people have so little and every time something like this happens, they lose it all," Kenny said.
Kenny and Hofer had a tough trip home, Kenny said. But they were lucky enough to never fear for their lives, unlike many other people.
Kenny and Hofer are nurses at Avera St. Luke's Hospital and members of the First United Methodist Church in Aberdeen. This was Kenny's fifth volunteer medical mission to Haiti and Hofer's second, Hofer said.
It wasn't as bad as a previous excursion to Haiti the duo made during a cholera outbreak in 2010, when they had to see people die on a regular basis, Kenny said.
They arrived in Haiti on Oct. 19 and worked out of a medical clinic based in Fond Parisien, Kenny said. They originally had a return flight scheduled for Saturday morning, but Sandy destroyed the only bridge from the clinic to Port-Au-Prince, where the airport is, Hofer said.
On Friday night, they decided to reschedule their trip to Monday, Hofer said. They hoped the weather would improve, but instead it became worse, Kenny said, so they had no choice but to leave Monday.
The volunteers had to climb down into the river bed, cross 50 feet of running water, then climb up the other side, Kenny said.
They thought that was the end of it, but they soon learned the Haitian government decided to reroute water through smaller villages so the bridge could be fixed, Hofer said. They had to form a human chain wade about one third of a mile through floodwater that was almost up to their thighs and watch as the villagers' homes and roads were destroyed, Kenny said.
"We were in groups of three and four clinging on to each other, you had to just shuffle your feet because you couldn't feel where the road was," Kenny said.
She said her right arm still had bruises because someone had clutched her arm so tightly.
They walked about a mile or so before they met up with a Haitian minister, who gave them a ride to the airport in a tap tap, which is like a pickup truck and a bus combination, but is used as a taxi cab.
Kenny said the entire group was frightened they were not going to make it home because of heavy traffic caused by people trying to leave. She said that, at one point, they were in traffic for about 90 minutes and barely moved.
However, the group of volunteers made it to the airport in time for their flight.
They did not know how much devastation Sandy had caused in in the U.S. until they saw the TV in the airport.
"It was shocking how much damage there was," Kenny said.
The duo finally arrived back home about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, following a flight to Florida and then an overnight stay in Minneapolis.
"It feels wonderful to be home and enjoy a hot shower and electricity again," Hofer said.
Despite all of the challenges they faced getting home, Hofer and Kenny said they want to go back and volunteer again.
"I'll keep going back; a little water is not going to keep me out of Haiti," Kenny said. "My heart is in Haiti."

Welcome to the Spiritan world!
It is a wonderful place of great diversity and ample opportunities to be of service to others. I invite you to explore who we are and what we are about through this website; but, more importantly, I challenge you to respond to the promptings of the Spirit in your own life to follow in the footsteps of the Lord in whatever way is appropriate for you. The Spiritans have been in the business of evangelization and serving those in need for more than 300 years. Our first founder, Claude Poullart des Places, felt God tugging at his heart and wanted to do something to help the poor. He gathered together a small group of needy seminarians on the feast of Pentecost in 1703 in France, and three centuries later the Holy Spirit is continuing to surprise us in ways that Claude could never have imagined.
Francis Libermann, who we consider our second founder because of the renewal that he brought to the community in the mid-nineteenth century, had a special concern for the recently freed slaves of his time. His deep spirituality and openness to the Spirit continue to mark our community to this day. Spiritans are now working in over 60 countries around the world bringing the Good News to those who have not yet heard or have scarcely heard the Gospel.
From working in international refugee camps to inner city parishes, from teaching in schools around the world to providing a home for orphans in France, Spiritans are about the business of proclaiming the reign of God with their lives and through their works. The new mission in the Dominican Republic, recently started in the North American-Caribbean region, is a sign of the continual need to respond to the call of the Holy Spirit as we seek out those who need us the most. This new mission on the center of the island of Hispaniola is on the border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. In a very poor area, Frs. Don McEachin and Jonas Rivera are part of an exciting new initiative that reminds us who we are and why we do what we do as Spiritans. Walking in the footsteps of des Places and Libermann, they are living the Gospel in response to today's needs and building community in a part of the world that is often neglected. This is just one small example of what Spiritans are doing around the globe. I hope and pray that this website will give you a little glimpse into our life and what we do. I give thanks to God each and every day for the opportunity to be a part of this community, and I am extremely grateful to everyone who helps us accomplish this mission through their prayers and support. It is an amazing story, and it is God who initiates and inspires all that we do. To God be all praise and honor!
USA Province Brother Michael Suazo, C.S.Sp. Holy Spirit Provincialate Bethel Park, PA 15102-2214

This Super Battle Droid was released individually carded during the Vintage Collection in February 2011. Super Battle Droids could be seen in Attack Of The Clones, at the beginning of the Clone War.
This Super Battle Droid has seen several releases over the years (e.g. Super Battle Droid in Geonosis Arena Showdown 2-pack). The droid has 9 joints, including 2 ball-jointed shoulders, 2 ball-jointed elbows, a ball-jointed waist, 2 ball-jointed legs and 2 swivel knees. The figure doesn't have articulated ankles, but the droid keeps its balance quite well nonetheless. Super Battle Droids have their weapons build into the forearms, hence they don't require a blaster. However, Hasbro included one with this droid, to enhance the value. The blaster fits very, very tightly into both of the droid's hands. There are no removable panels or other gadgets on the droid.
The paint job on the Super Battle Droid is well done with a scratched-up look and some "Geonosis" dirt on the legs. The figure's sculpt isn't bad, but we've seen Super Battle Droids with more articulation in the past (TLC Super Battle Droid). All in all, this Super Battle Droid is "more of the same", with a slightly different paint application.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE: Mississippi State 47 - Arkansas 44
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Quistelle Williams was the lone offensive force in the first half for Arkansas, scoring eight of their 14 first half points. She had her fifth double-double of the season for the Razorbacks, finishing with 16 points and a career high 14 rebounds.
PLAY OF THE GAME: In the second half, Arkansas charged back into the game. With 13 minutes left, freshman Dominique Wilson drove the lane and fired a no-look pass to Sarah Watkins, who hit a layup to cut the lead to two. The play keyed a big run that got Arkansas back into the game after trailing by 10 at halftime.
TURNING POINT OF THE GAME: Arkansas was cold offensively in the first half, but closed out the half on a 5-2 run. They came out hot to start the second half, hitting their first six shots, including eight points from Sarah Watkins. After a basket by the Bulldogs at the 6:12 mark of the first half, Arkansas went on a 24-11 run to tie the game at 33 with 10:33 to play.
UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME: Sarah Watkins scoed a career high 28 on Thursday at Ole Miss, but had just two points in the first half. She came on strong in the second half, finishing with 15 points and carried the Razorbacks back into the game.
STAT OF THE GAME: Arkansas struggled shooting the ball in the first half, shooting just 5-24 from the field. They were much stronger in the second half, shooting 12-29 from the field in the final frame, and outscored the Bulldogs 30-23 in the second half. Unfortunately, it was not enough as Wilson's three point attempt at the buzzer just rimmed out.

Well, when all is said and done, no Elvis Presley song will be axed from the Herriman High School play to satisfy the self-appointed censors in our pretty, great state.
I have learned the offensive song among the 23 Elvis Presley tunes that will be performed in "All Shook Up" is "A Little Less Conversation."
And to make everyone happy, one line of the song is being changed, with permission from the copyright holders.
Instead of the lyrics: "Baby, satisfy me, baby, satisfy me," the student actor will sing: "Baby, hold me, baby, hold me."
And, other than minor tweaks in the wording throughout the play, the only major deletion in dialogue is in Act 2. The line that will be removed is, "Let's go down to the swimming hole and slap each other's privates."
I also can guarantee there will be no morning glories displayed on the stage.
So the show will go on Feb. 27 through March 2.
There. Now doesn't everybody feel better?
What comes around …? » Over the years Utah has received its fair share of federal disaster aid, especially back in the 1980s with flooding that destroyed, among other things, an entire Utah County town.

Published Mar 12, 2014 07:54:01AM
Since then, though, there have been mudslides, more floods, dam breaks and fires. When those disasters occur, our state leaders are not shy about asking for help. And the feds have helped us out.
Even some of our most stalwart conservatives in the Legislature have received disaster relief from the feds for damage to their farms and ranches.
Just since Gov. Gary Herbert has been in office, four major disaster declarations have triggered nearly $11 million in federal aid. That doesn't count the drought relief Utah has received.
So all those Utahns who have been helped in their time of need ought to remind Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee that it is appropriate for the entire country to help communities that have been devastated by Mother Nature.
Hatch has even taken credit over the years for the federal compensation fund set up to help affected Utahns who lived downwind of the nuclear tests in Nevada.
You might recall the outrage from elected officials in New York and New Jersey, including that conservative icon New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, when the House refused to vote on a $60 billion federal aid package for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The Senate voted in favor of the aid, but Hatch and Lee, in that Dec. 28 vote, opposed it.
The follow-up vote Friday for about $9 billion in aid was unanimous in the Senate. So Hatch and Lee are off the hook in that one. And give all four Utah representatives — Republicans Jason Chaffetz, Rob Bishop and Chris Stewart and Democrat Jim Matheson — credit for their yes votes in Friday's $9 billion aid package.
But the initial "no" votes by Hatch and Lee might be remembered the next time Utah suffers from nature's fury.
Every penny counts » When David Havas died in September, his brothers Edward and Max went through the process of winding down his law practice and closing his office.
Among the many frustrations was the telephone service suddenly being shut off after a misdirected payment and then having to pay a $20 re-connection fee.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M Baseball head coach Rob Childress will be inducted into the Northwood University Athletics Hall of Fame on November 10, 2012, his alma mater recently announced.
"We are very proud of Rob," Northwood Director of Athletics Pat Malcheski said. "He has the unique qualities of strong leadership and genuine humility that have made him so successful. Rob was an outstanding leader on our teams as a player and a gifted recruiter as an assistant coach."
Before his coaching career, Childress, who graduated from Harmony High School in Gilmer, Texas, attended Northwood where he was twice named an all-conference pitcher. Northwood won two NAIA conference championships during his career and was runner-up at the regional tournament once. Childress was elected the school's Academic Athlete of the Year as a sophomore and senior. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration from Northwood in 1990.
Early in his coaching career, Childress served as an assistant for two years at Northwood under Malcheski, who was serving as the Knights' head coach.
After serving as an assistant coach at Northwood, Childress went on to a head coaching job at Texarkana College (1994) and assistant coaching stints at Northwestern State (1995-97) and Nebraska (1998-05).

Illustration by Christopher Silas Neal Every woman has a story line about her weight that she carries in her head: "I was always the fat kid." "I couldn't lose the pregnancy weight." "I liked my body until I hit menopause." In fact, the story you tell about your weight shapes your relationship to your body as much as the weight itself. But what if you're telling yourself the wrong story?
To help his patients find their true narrative, Robert Kushner, MD, clinical director of the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity in Chicago, has them complete a simple drawing called the life events weight graph. Patients chart their weight starting typically from age 18 to the present. Then they plot the events that marked each year: college, marriage, pregnancy, demotion, sick child, empty nest, and so on. The point of the graph is to show at a glance how complex weight gain is, and to free patients from shame about their weight. "Women realize, There are real reasons this happened to me; it wasn't just lack of willpower," Kushner says. "It puts people on solid ground to make a change." That's what is happening to Donna, 61, a Chicago real estate agent who recently started working with Kushner. Donna's graph (below) reflects an upward trajectory with lots of zigzags (thanks to yo-yo dieting) and three steep climbs—one after each of her two pregnancies and another after chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer threw her abruptly into menopause. "Seeing all that in one place, it made sense that my weight had climbed to more than 200 pounds," she says. Many patients are also surprised to find a fair number of valleys in their line graphs—periods where they maintained a healthy weight. "Ask yourself what you were doing that was successful," says Kushner. "Then see where you regained and ask what got in the way." Ultimately, the graph reminds us that weight is the result of how we deal with stress, navigate change, and make time to take care of ourselves. "Weight loss is not about what you put on your plate," says Kushner. "It's about how you live your life." Here's how to tell the story of your weight: Take a blank sheet of paper and draw a horizontal axis labeled "Time" and a vertical axis labeled "Weight." If you prefer a freeflowing style: Simply chart what you've weighed since high school to the present, allowing the line to express the pattern of your weight over time. If you prefer an analytical style: Fill in specific ages along the horizontal axis (marking every half decade or so) and specific weights along the vertical axis, from 100 pounds to your top weight. Plot the points for specific weights at specific ages as you remember them, then connect the dots. To finish: Write down significant life events as they occurred along your weight timeline. To interpret the story of your weight, ask yourself the following questions: 1. What is your overall weight pattern?
3. Are there any common themes affecting your weight gain? For instance, are the causes primarily biological (pregnancy, menopause, going on medication), emotional (relationship issues, feeling isolated, increased stress) or lack of time (common among caretakers of aging parents, for instance)? Biological causes can often be addressed with education (seeing a nutritionist or personal trainer), whereas emotional causes might involve changing your relationships. 4. Were there times you felt in control of your weight? What was working for you at that time? Were you keeping a food journal, or cooking more at home? What would you have to change about your life today in order to sustain some of those habits? Could Your Eating Habits Be Making You Miserable? Published on March 08, 2011

There is weight, richness and firm spice flavor here. The wine has a juicy character along with firm tannins. It shows the pure fruit freshness of the vintage, with a little extra weight. (4/ 2012)
This wine is sleek, velvety, caressing even, with no angles at all, offering pure cherry preserves and floral notes, with a long, cassis-infused finish that expands nicely as this airs. Tasted non-blind. (4/ 2012)
This is really excellent. Love the nose of minerals, violets and berries. Full body, with super fine tannins and a long, long finish. Slightly lean but seamless tannins. (4/ 2012)
One of the finest second wines now being made, Les Forts de Latour comes from the same parcel every year. The 2011 is composed of 61.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38.5% Merlot. Forty-three percent of the Latour production was relegated to this cuvee. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, underbrush, licorice and incense. Medium to full-bodied, deep, fleshy and already appealing, this 2011 should gain complexity over the next 5-7 years, and last for 15-20. (4/ 2012)
(61.5% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 0.5% cabernet franc; IPT 84; 43% of the estate's total production; 13.1% alcohol): Deep ruby-purple. Coffee, graphite and chocolate frame ripe cassis on the nose: very merlot! Pure, clean, nicely texture flavors of blackcurrant and savory spices. Finishes velvety and long, but with a touch of warmth. (5/ 2012)
*½+ Red currant and cassis aromas. Very rich and deep, with lots of power. Focused, intense. A bit more closed than the Pauillac de Latour. Firm tannins. 91-93 points.

► Proteasome-inhibitory TNF-α/NFκB was found by cell-based functional screening ► TNF-α-induced S5b reduces proteasome activity by interfering with assembly ► Interaction of S5b with S7 is critical for TNF-α-induced proteasome inhibition ► S5b deficiency rescues tauopathy and excess S5b inhibits proteasome in animal models
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis. However, proteasome dysregulation in chronic diseases is poorly understood. Through genome-wide cell-based screening using 5,500 cDNAs, a signaling pathway leading to NFκB activation was selected as an inhibitor of 26S proteasome. TNF-α increased S5b (HGNC symbol PSMD5; hereafter S5b/PSMD5) expression via NFκB, and the surplus S5b/PSMD5 directly inhibited 26S proteasome assembly and activity. Downregulation of S5b/PSMD5 abolished TNF-α-induced proteasome inhibition. TNF-α enhanced the interaction of S5b/PSMD5 with S7/PSMC2 in nonproteasome complexes, and interference of this interaction rescued TNF-α-induced proteasome inhibition. Transgenic mice expressing S5b/PSMD5 exhibited a reduced life span and premature onset of aging-related phenotypes, including reduced proteasome activity in their tissues. Conversely, S5b/PSMD5 deficiency in Drosophila melanogaster ameliorated the tau rough eye phenotype, enhanced proteasome activity, and extended the life span of tau flies. These results reveal the critical role of S5b/PSMD5 in negative regulation of proteasome by TNF-α/NFκB and provide insights into proteasome inhibition in human disease.

When I was about 5 years old, I had a pet pigeon. Mom named him Parvenu. The city was full of pigeons, but Parvenu sat on the windowsill of my bedroom every morning and waited for his popcorn treat. Every day, I walked to the Chinese laundry and my friend would give me a handful of chicken scratch to feed my new feathered pest. The Chinese laundry had the only backyard on the block and they raised chickens. The neighbors never complained. The Jewish people bought them, koshered their feathers and boiled them in their famous soup. The rest of us bought eggs when there were enough to sell.
It didn't take long for one of the alley cats to catch the unsuspecting bird and one morning I found what was left of him on my windowsill. As I sat on the old iron fire escape staring at the almost unrecognizable remains, mom went through the usual parental ritual. Shoebox in hand and with tears in my eyes, we placed the lifeless form into the box, covered it, taped it shut so nothing could get in or out and headed for the old cemetery at the Christ church across the street. The bird would join Revolutionary War veterans in his final resting place.
Mom tried to console my grief, but my question was always the same: "Where do we go after we die?" Seven decades later, I am still asking the same question, realizing no one will ever find the answer on this side of reality.
Regardless of some religious myths regarding the hereafter, the personal loss of a loved one is heartbreaking. Even the nonreligious communist leader Joseph Stalin admitted that, "A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic." In the case of my friend, it was both a tragedy and a heartbreak.
Serafin Pizano was 89 years old. He is survived by his wife, Bertha, six children and numerous grandchildren. He came to America from Mexico more than 70 years ago. The first responsible thing he did was become an American citizen. The second and smartest decision he made was marrying Bertha and moving to San Francisco.
He found a job at Glidden paint. After 39 years of perfectly mixing and blending colors that could be found "everywhere on everything," at least according to glidden's advertising slogan, he retired at the age of 62.
A devout Catholic, Serafin was a member of the Knights of Columbus. He assisted in the communion service on Sundays and helped out with the church's bingo games. He also really liked slot machines and Reno.
Twice a year he and Bertha would visit his daughter, Linda, in Sparks. Linda and I would take them downtown to play the slots and would somehow lose Serafin. When we found him, I would always ask him, "Well, how did you do?" For 30 years I always got the same response: With a child-like grin, a shrug of the shoulders and a sheepish look, he would say, "Not too bad." He wouldn't have been a great poker player. Needless to say, we will all miss him.
So, where do we go when we die? Part of our mourning and grieving process is not only for the deceased but for ourselves. Being close to death reminds us of our own inevitable demise. However, religious faith, personal beliefs and human intuition is what provides the spiritual conduit that delivers our eternal soul through the shadow of death to rest in the valley of greenfields beside the still waters. And that sounds good to me.
Serafin died a week before a scheduled annual family get-together in Reno for his birthday. One of the last words he whispered to Linda was "Reno." During all that physical pain and mental agony, he still longed for one more good time playing the slots in Reno and Sparks.
So I wouldn't be surprised if we start getting reports from The Nugget of a Mexican man dressed in a Knights of Columbus uniform, sword and all, playing a slot machine while on his way to join the angels in heaven. But don't ask him how he did. He'll just smile and say, "Not too bad." Enjoy your trip, my friend.

Key Closet's $10,000 Jeans
These jeans by Key Closet look good, there's no doubt about that, but do they look $10,000 good? I have a hard time justifying $50 for a new pair, not to mention for that kind of money I'd really not know where to wear them. But the price tag is just that, $10,000, and they feature hand-drawn designs, over 1,000 Swarovski crystals, and a one carat diamond on each back pocket. Yes, wear these and you'll have a very valuable backside.
The best part about the whole thing is that although they cost almost as much as a new car, 30% of the profits will go towards building a school for under-privileged children in Uganda. That makes them totally worth it, sort of.

Landry Jones threw for 256 yards, Blake
Bell punched in two short touchdown runs and No. 12 Oklahoma set up
a Bedlam showdown for the Big 12 championship by beating Iowa State
26-6 on Saturday.
Trey Franks finished with 88 yards rushing on two long reverses
to set up scores for the Sooners (9-2, 6-2 Big 12), and Michael
Hunnicutt matched his career high with four field goals.
Rebounding after allowing a school-record 616 yards allowed last
week in a 45-38 loss at Baylor, Oklahoma held Iowa State (6-5, 3-5)
to a season-low 245 yards and only let the Cyclones score after
James Winchester's snap sailed over the head of punter Tress Way in
the first quarter.
Oklahoma will visit No. 4 Oklahoma State next week with the
winner earning the Big 12 title.

A : pours a super hazy yellow with highlights of brown with a big frothy white head. cool little bottle from a brewery I've never heard of before. head dissipates quickly with almost not lacing.
S : smells of your typical belgian beer. yeasty up front with subtle citrus notes. slightly bready.
T : starts like a pale ale with freshly baked bread malt flavor and honey sweetness. a melding of belgian yeast and subtle hops dominate the middle before finishing wet, sharp and clean. A bit of a belgian yeast finish with a little bit of citrus and peppercorns. The spicy peppercorn flavor at the end is quite nice and cuts the beers ability to linger, adding to drinkability.
M : mouthfeel is solid. A full bodied beer that is easy to drink and ends clean.
overall a pretty enjoyable beer. Smells more like nothing but yeast, but the flavor is nice. Website states this as a 5.5% abv brew. I think I'll have another.

12oz into a wine glass. Pours a hazed orange gold, fluffy white froth didn't linger.
Aroma is subdued but complete with a gritty yeast, light skinned nearly ripe fruits and even subtler spices.
Taste is full flavored, held together with yeast and delicate hopping. Little citrus and clove are interesting. Negligible bitter. Aftertaste fades quickly away leaving a crisp notion on the tongue. Light to medium bodied mouthfeel. Nice brew for a muggy del city day. warms well.

P: thin layer of white bubbles on top of a hazy golden and significantly effervescent ale.
S: Great yeast aroma with a clean fruity musk. Super vibrant, spices and banana.
T/M: Spicy yeast, black pepper, clove, banana alcohol, bubblegum, and honey wheat bread. Silky mouthfeel that shows its carbonation nicely. Finishes powdery with lingering dry grass and bitter green apple peels.
O: As usual the Choc team delivered another fine seasonal. I really enjoyed this and will pick more up for sure. Super clean and vibrant with just a touch of fruity bitterness. The finish is not much desired for its a little rough, but a well done ale.

12 oz. bottle poured into a Chimay Chalice; murky golden color with chunks of yeasty goodness sitting in the bottom of the glass, small head reducing to tiny ring.
Smells instantly of Belgian yeast, lots of spice; clove, pepper and bananas.
Tastes like a freshly baked loaf of bread, clove, rich malts, little bit of alcohol, touch of honey, wheat and bananas in the back.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, mild carbonation, minor dryness, slick.
Overall a decent brew, if you like Belgian styles then it's worth a try. Smooth easy drinking summer beer.

Thanks to 4balance for this one. Poured from bottle to snifter:
Pours a hazy honey gold with a quick couple fingers of head that fades out to a consistent collar. Wisps of with head remain scattered across the center of the glass... good lacing.
Yeasty, wheat, clove, sour banana, white grapes, pretty unique.
The taste is equally unique. Warming grains, subtle biscuit, some dirty yeast presence.
Overall, this is an interesting take on the style. Glad to have had the chance to try it.

12oz. served into an Orval chalice.
A - Looks like apple juice with a fleeting white head.
S - Bubblegum flavored candy, sweet malt, clove, apples.
T - Sweet malts, pears, golden delicious apples, bubblegum, green bananas, rough wheat malt mixes with alcohol to create a strange astringency. It starts thinning out toward the end and finishes powdery but wet.
M - Medium body with ample carbonation. Slick finish.
Great yeast esters providing classic Belgian flavors but the astringent wheat character seems to come in and trample things a bit. Overall not bad though.

Thanks Mom and Dad for picking up this unobtainable brew from OK on your trip to AR.
Cloudy and pale copper, bronze, unpicked barley color. Very light bubbling and head.
Very yeasty banana, fruit, clove, and slight earth aroma along with the slight toasty aromas from the malt.
Taste is powdery in texture. The flavaors have yeasty bubblegume and banana. The malt add sweet biscuits and bread with no noticeable addition from the hops.
This is a session Okey brew. One that I would buy again if it was ever available in the Chi-town area.

Pours to a thin, white head and cloudy, dirty orange-gold color. Aroma is primarily Belgian yeast compounds: peppery, spicy and fruity. Flavor is spicy and interesting with notes or coriander and clove. Mouthfeel is smooth and carbonation is moderate. Overall, this is a tasty brew that looks like a very good homebrewed Blonde.

This is now called Choc Summer Belgian Style Blond Ale.
I am not a big fan of Belgian wheat beers, but this is a pretty good sample of the kind. The flavor (and smell) should be familiar to anyone who likes this style -- wheat and Belgian yeast. It is a pale yellowish color and the Choc beers tend to have a good deal of residue at the bottom of the bottle, meaning the drink can be somewhat cloudy depending upon the pour.

This is now called Choc Summer Belgian Style Blond Ale.
The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a nice-sized white head. The aroma is full of wheat with some grass from the hops and a little bit of spice. The flavor is similar. I don't get much fruit, which is somewhat surprising. I do get some wheat and a lot of Belgian yeast notes, along with some coriander and white pepper.

Poured a cloudy orange/yellow with a nice sticky white head, good lacing and amazing head retention all the way to the bottom.
The smell is very classic belgian blonde, lightly funky and spicy with some pepper notes and a touch of sourdough and grain.
The flavor is all about the yeast, spicy and a bit funky, yet very light and balanced, some mild crystal malt is noticeable along with a touch of spicy noble hops to even it out. Has a very nice pepper charachter to it.
The mouthfeel for me is the high point, great silky creamyness with nice carbonation levels.
A very nice American example of the style.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tulip glass.
A: Hazy, pale golden color with a persistent residue of white foam. Scant lacing remains on the glass.
S: Belgian yeast dominates the light malts, with hops not really becoming a factor. Black pepper and some restrained funkiness linger, suggesting a strong flavor profile to come.
T: Begins dry, with rustic toasty grain that is surprisingly assertive compared to the smell. Brightness reigns early, with balanced acidity. Fruit is barely detectable, giving way to fairly pronounced crisp black pepper in the middle, which is otherwise fairly seltzery and vacant. The finish is mildly bitter in a respectable way, staying bone-dry but leaving a green herbaceous quality.
M: Thin to medium viscosity, creamy even to the point of being chewy, with brisk carbonation.
D/O: This is a satisfactory Belgian-style blond ale, true to its label and description. The smell outdistances the flavor, which leaves the palate wanting for greater intensity than what is delivered.

This Belgian brew pops the top to a typical delicious belgian smell of sweet and spice and everything nice. Pours into a chalice with a cloudy dark yellow with a wispy head that is quickly gone. On the taste the first evident element is the big malty backbone with sweet carmel like candiness. Not much hops to speak of excepting for a very earthy touch of bitters. This is a very sweet selection that has a classic belgian flavor. I my opinion this selection is practically a dessert beer.

Heard mized things, time to see for myself finally.
12oz->Leinenkugel's Pint
A ~ Darker than I expected. Not blonde, which is a good thing. Decent lacing.
S ~ Not alot. Bit of grass and a dash of yeast.
T ~ Honey-Wheat...mandarin orange...touch of clove way on the back of the throat. Touch of dry hops lending a dead grass character. Also a Flavor in there that reminds me of a lemon-poppyseed muffin.
M ~ Bit of a kick to it for the ABV, but it seems like it
s the yeast. They did a good job with that. They carbonation is light and sort-of prickly, but not too heavily.
D ~ It's a fact, Choc's Belgian-influenced offerings are much better than anything else they make (these days). And it's a good thing, they should continue with what they are good at. Sessionable? Sure if you like the style. Very light and refreshing. Don't seek out, but definitely try a six-pack if you see one.

12 oz. bottle tried 15 Aug 2010. Listed as 'Summer Belgian Style Blonde Ale' on the bottle and website. Served in the 0.4 L Steiner Pils snifter.
Small off white head. Well carbonated. Cloudy orange amber in color. Smells of wheat, yeast, sweet citrus, clove and coriander. Spicy and juicy to start. Tastes of yeast, orange, citrus pith. Tangy tart finish and aftertaste with a lingering light bitterness. Medium chewy body. Warming ethanol presence.
Nice to see the offerings from Choc getting better over time.

NEW YORK (AP) — That's a wrap!
Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. lives on, but ''The Office'' has closed shop.
The NBC workplace comedy, set at the fictional company's Scranton, Pa., branch, aired its finale Thursday to end an eight-year run.
As expected, office manager Dwight wed tempestuous co-worker Angela, with whom he previously shared a secret affair. He had abruptly proposed to her on last week's episode.
And as a welcome surprise, former manager Michael Scott was back to serve as Dwight's best man.
It was an answered prayer not only for Dwight (who greeted him with a choked-up ''I can't believe you came"), but also for viewers who were hoping that Michael might make a surprise visit in the person of Steve Carell. NBC had stayed mum on whether Carell, the star of ''The Office'' until his departure two seasons ago, would be in the finale or not.
''I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other,'' said Michael to the camera at the wedding reception. ''It's every parent's dream!''
''The Office'' premiered in 2005. It was based on the British comedy of the same name, which premiered in 2001. It starred and was co-created by Ricky Gervais. During its run on NBC, it picked up four Emmys and a prestigious Peabody award.
Other Dunder Mifflin alumni who were back for the finale included Kelly (Mindy Kaling) and Ryan (B.J. Novak).
Set a year after last week's episode, the finale provided comfortable and affectionate closure for the characters and the viewers who love them.
For instance, Andy (Ed Helms), who had left the company to chase stardom, hadn't gotten very far, beyond becoming a laughingstock from a viral video of him bursting into tears when he auditioned for a talent competition.
He had since landed an administrative job at Cornell University.
A ''where-are-they-now?'' panel reunited the subjects of the Dunder Mifflin mockumentary, whose make-believe production had consumed the run of ''The Office'' and functioned as its narrative frame.
''Do you feel that your life is pointless, now that nobody is filming you anymore?'' one audience member asked.
''Yes,'' replied Toby (Paul Lieberstein) sadly.
In response to another question, Pam (Jenna Fischer) described her relationship with husband Jim (John Krasinski) as being ''like a long book that you never want to end, and you're fine with that, because you just never, ever want to leave it.''
''Like 'Harry Potter,''' cooed the questioner as the audience went, ''Awwwwwwwww.''
Meanwhile, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Angela (Angela Kinsey) celebrated their wedding, preceded by scenes of the male and female bachelor parties.
Along the way, Dwight buried the hatchet with Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), who had bought a bar after Dwight fired him from the company.
''It was nothing personal,'' Dwight tried to explain. ''It's just that you were terrible at your job.''
''You're just saying that to make me feel better,'' said Kevin, accepting his apology.
At the end of the episode, Pam and Jim committed to an overdue exit from their dead-end Dunder Mifflin jobs to start a new life far away, in Austin, Texas.
When they broke the news to Dwight, he fired them on the spot. But he did it as a favor: to qualify them for severance pay.
Moments later, the series' final words were voiced to the camera by Pam, who marveled at all that ''The Office'' had captured on film: ''There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things,'' she declared. ''Isn't that the point?''

Duo Pinball
Excellent add on for my ipad. I wanted to buy one last year but opted for the Atari controller instead. Now a year on the cost has dropped from £50ish to £12.00. Excellent value for money & makes the pinball games more enjoyable. In addition having the buttons to the side like a normal pinball machine, keeps the screen free of hands making it easier to track the ball. The only down side is being restricted to the table available in the HD collection. There are better pinball apps with far better tables, which are not compatible with the duo pinball controller.
Pinball? Wizard!
The Duo Pinball Controller for iPad, iPod, and iPhone is great fun, I don't know how I've lived without it! As a youth (and that was many years ago, when pinball machines were common in pubs) I loved playing pinball. It was, and still is, an excellent hand-eye coordinator. Since those heady days, the real thing has all but disappeared and I have always been disappointed by simulators on PC, phone etc. When I saw this controller I wondered whether, at last, here was something to get to grips with. Could this be a decent software simulator with real hardware flipper buttons? The games are good, the simulation of the ball movement is great and the flippers are very responsive. My iPad fits snugly in the controller and makes playing a nice experience. I haven't tried the controller with an iPhone and I suspect that could be interesting, due to the size of the screen and the fact the phone won't be physically part of the controller. Anyway, we have had hours of fun with it. Cons? Possibly, the pull-back ball firing mechanism is a bit sluggish but that isn't particularly important. That, and only a couple of the games included in the downloadable app are free; the others have a demo period then require you to purchase.
Just Great
The Duo Pinball Controller for iPad, iPod, and iPhone is a great add on for the iPad, just like playing the real thing but in miniature form. The only downside is that it isn't really something to carry around, more of a stay at home add on. Otherwise, a great value for money item.
pinball wizard
I bought this Duo Pinball Controller for iPad, iPod, and iPhone for my 11 year old son and he has not put it down since he received it. The app opens up a few more tables and the product holds your iPad solidly.
Pinball controller
Husband loves it but would now like the real thing!
Excellent gift!
I got this for my husband for Fathers day. best present ever... hours of fun already. I had roamed websites for days looking for the right thing for a man who just goes out and buys himself things when he needs them, making it very hard to think of "just the right thing", as he's probably bought it 2 days before. He absolutely loved it! Thank you for a great website, and great ideas.
Flipping Awesome
I bought this Duo Pinball Controller for iPad, iPod, and iPhone as a gift for my Dad as a bit of fun. After hearing him rave about it, I managed to prise it off him and was instantly addicted to it. My 7 year old managed to get a go eventually and got a high score first time. It's so good I've just ordered two more! This is great fun for all the family and an ideal party piece.

When a runner is coming from 3rd base to home plate often times the ball gets to the catcher (Guy in the gear) before the runner arrives to the plate safely. The runner can either attempt to slide into the base to avoid being tagged by the ball, run over the catcher in hope that he drops the ball, or turn and run back to 3rd (possibly resulting in a rundown). In the gif it appears that the runner somehow got around the catcher and the catcher is slinging him back off the base in frustration. (Lol idk)
