The Pullman Greyhounds survived a flurry of long range shooting by the Deer Park Lady Stags to win the opening round District VII tournament 51-49 on Tuesday.
The win propelled the Greyhounds (9-11) into the double-elimination portion of the tournament, while the Lady Stags ended their season at 11-10.
Trailing 49-38 with 2:14 to play, Deer Park closed the margin on 3-pointers from Danielle Beltrame, Tessa Heins and Alison Ruygrok but could not catch the Greyhounds.
Deer ParkŌĆÖs Jake Konzal, disqualified from last weekŌĆÖs District VII wrestling tournament in a weight classification dispute, made a surprising appearance at this weekendŌĆÖs Region IV tournament.
The district disqualification occurred after Stag head coach Matt Jorgensen decided to move Konzal, who was battling an illness, up a weight class.
Jorgensen said he followed league rules in making the decision and it was met with approval by the Great Northern League coaches.
The Kettle Falls Bulldogs, using a 13-0 fourth quarter run, defeated the Springdale Chargers 40-36 on Thursday in the opening round of the District VII Class 2A tournament.
The win propelled the Bulldogs (3-18 overall) into the double-elimination portion of the tournament. The Chargers, who defeated the Bulldogs twice during the regular season, ended their season with a 4-17 record.
The Republic Tigers wasted little time dominating the Springdale Lady Chargers 43-30 in the opening round of the District VII Class 2B tournament on Thursday.
The win propelled Republic (14-6) into the double-elimination portion of the tournament while Springdale ended its season with a 4-17 record.
The Tigers held the Lady Chargers scoreless for the first 13 minutes of the game as they built an 18-0 lead.
Springdale finally broke the scoreless streak on a pair of free throws from Spring Hamilton. Republic answered with a 3-pointer by Gabby Jessen and took a 22-7 lead at halftime.
The Deer Park Stags had no answer for ClarkstonŌĆÖs inside game, especially in the first half, as the Bantams rolled to a 62-42 win on Tuesday.
ClarkstonŌĆÖs power game helped the Bantams build a 15-point lead early in the second quarter.
The Stags managed to cut the lead to 36-24 on a pair of 3-pointers from Uconn Peone, only to have the BantamsŌĆÖ Drew Adams answer with a long range jumper just before intermission.
For most of the second half, the Bantams were content to play a ball control offense.
The StagsŌĆÖ last hurrah came on a Zach Mohr 3-pointer that closed the game to 45-34.
When the going got tough, the Newport Grizzlies turned to ŌĆ£Wiley TimeŌĆØ to get thing moving in the right direction.
Jake Wiley, the GrizzliesŌĆÖ 6-foot-7 senior, scored a game-high 22 points (12 in the second half) as Newport put away the Riverside Rams 50-41 on Saturday in the regular season finale for both teams.
Newport, which led on 19-17 at halftime, opened up a 40-30 lead in the third quarter on the strength of 10 points from Wiley.
The Rams (0-10 in the Northeast A League) refused to go away easily.
The Newport girls basketball team awoke its sleeping offense to pull away from the Riverside Lady Rams 57-35 in the regular season finale for both teams.
The Lady Grizzlies, who trailed 19-14 midway through the second quarter, went on an 11-3 run to open the third quarter to break the game open.
Sparking the Newport run was junior guard Courtney Weise, who buried a pair of 3-pointers. Her second long-range shot gave Newport a 36-22 lead.
Weise would later earn an old fashioned 3-point play to extend the Lady GrizzliesŌĆÖ advantage to 45-24 going into the fourth quarter.
The Deer Park Stags, sparked by a trio of 3-pointers in the closing minutes of the first half, defeated the East Valley Knights 65-62 on Friday.
The win assured Deer Park (4-5 in the Great Northern League) a District VII tournament berth.
ŌĆ£That (the scoring spurt) was big for us,ŌĆØ said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
Zach Mohr, Uconn Peone and Caleb Guske keyed the second quarter offensive blitz by each sinking 3-pointers.
ŌĆśWe have to win the last 3 minutes,ŌĆÖ Ryan told his team late in the first half.
The East Valley Lady Knights, using a physical defensive presence and some timely fourth quarter free throw shooting, downed the Deer Park Lady Stags 48-40 on Friday.
The Lady Stags (6-3 in the Great Northern League), led by as many as 11 points in the first half, only to see the Lady Knights (5-3) hold them to only a Kimmie Brazington free throw in the third quarter. East ValleyŌĆÖs defensive effort allowed the Lady Knights to erase a seven-point halftime deficit and take a 33-32 lead going into the final quarter.
In a game where points were at a premium, the Colville Indians went on a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to secure a 51-47 win over the Riverside Rams on Friday.
The Rams (0-7, 4-13) trimmed the Indian lead to 36-32 on a Logan OwensŌĆÖ 3-pointer with 6:10 remaining.
Colville (5-2, 11-7) retaliated with baskets by Matt Hubbard, JR. Henry and Taylor Murto and a 3-pointer by Henry over the 3:30 to stretch the lead back to 45-32.
The Rams, who only shot 32 percent from the floor, tried to get back into the game, only to see the Indians stay a step ahead over the last 2:49.

In the New York Times on Tuesday, Jenna Wortham chronicled how a photograph of Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy, who has been relatively shielded from the public eye, traveled from a personal Instagram feed into the pages of many gossip publications. The rise of photo distribution services like Instagram, Wortham argues, poses a challenge to paparazzi, whose market may be undercut by amateurs who happen to be in the right place at the right time.
Wortham spoke to Molly Goodson, a senior editor at PopSugar, one of the sites that bought the image of Beyonce and her daughter.
The average person has eyes in places where regular paparazzi don't have them, [Goodson] said. "The whole world becomes a photo agency at that point. More so than ever before."
The entrance of ordinary people with relatively high-quality cameras on their cell phones also raises questions about the ethics of how to treat celebrities when they're simply going about town like the rest of us. Paparazzi may be willing to be more aggressive than the average citizen — it's hard to imagine that ordinary citizens would engage in high-speed car chases or tangle with bodyguards as a regular part of doing business — and have better cameras. But they aren't everywhere. They take time to mobilize and show up. They can be negotiated with, trading exclusive snaps for promises to back off.
Average people, as Goodson notes, are everywhere. And while they've always been eager to take photos and video of celebrities — Vanessa Grigoriadis' 2008 Rolling Stone profile of Britney Spears opened with the singer being swamped at a mall — the opportunity to be a semi-professional photographer ups the stakes for fans who previously might have only wanted snaps for their personal enjoyment. What happens when the girl who says she wants to take a picture of Britney for her sister turns around and sells it? Also, the telephoto lenses paparazzi use make it possible to capture a good shot from a distance. Paparazzi get in celebrities' faces to try to provoke reactions, but what happens when amateurs need to get close to get a saleable shot at all? And while paparazzi are obnoxious, they're constrained by some basic laws of the market that will never govern individuals: Their agencies often need to maintain at least decent relationships with celebrities and their management to get access to red carpets and semi-private parties.

If you're like most of movie-loving America, chances are you at least paid a bit of attention to this past weekend's Academy Awards. The Oscars are always good for old-fashioned entertainment. Tthe fashion! The speeches! And—I nearly forgot—the movies!
My friends and family would be the first to tell you that I'm miserably ill-informed when it comes to matters of pop culture. I'm pretty sure my mom is the only mother in America who says, "Honey, you really should be watching more TV." I'm also pretty sure my best buddies are pretty tired of explaining to me why certain people are famous.
Nevertheless, movies are my big exception, and as Ben Affleck gave giddy and heartfelt thanks last night to anyone anywhere who had anything to do with the making of Argo (including Canada), all the great movies that are passing unrecognized into history began running through my mind.
To that end, here is a completely unscientific and unofficial list of movies I think are really worth watching. Some are old. Some are newer. Most aren't big-time Academy Award-winners. They are, however, highly entertaining.
A warning: I'm not really a musical sort of gal. I also won't watch depressing movies anymore (thanks for nothing, Million Dollar Baby). Period dramas, a la Jane Austen? It's not happening, for the most part. There are also no obvious choices like Pulp Fiction, one of my favorite movies of all time.
So get the popcorn, light a fire, turn out the lights and enjoy!
If you liked Argo, you'll like All the President's Men. I saw Argo and feel it's one of the best movies I've seen in years, as notable for its topical restraint as well as its heart-pounding suspense. If you love suspense sans violence, bring All the President's Men, with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford, back into your life. And the ending—with the teletype machine pounding away—gets my vote for one of the most brilliant movie endings ever.
The (original) In-Laws is the funniest movie ever made. If the word "serpentine" doesn't mean anything to you then run, do not walk, to get a copy of the original comedy classic starring Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. It is a brilliant blend of near-slapstick and deadpan humor. Let me emphasize original once again: Avoid the remake, starring the usually reliable Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks, like the plague. "There's no reason to shoot at me! I'm a dentist!"
If you liked Lean on Me, try Stand and Deliver. Math geeks and underdog lovers alike will love Stand and Deliver, the true inspiring story of an unlikely classroom of students in a disadvantaged L.A. neighborhood who study calculus, take the AP exam and perform so well that they are accused of cheating. A wonderful, not-to-be-missed performance by Edward James Olmos.
If you like music, but musicals make you cringe, try these. Although not deserving of a "best ever" superlative, Rock Star's Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston are extremely likeable as a newbie rock star and girlfriend who experience overnight fame and fortune. Not appropriate for the under-13 crowd, by the way. Other near-musical choices: Walk the Line, This Is Spinal Tap and Victor/Victoria.
Don't overlook mystery and horror in the pursuit of quality entertainment. For every 80 downright terrible horror movies, there is roughly one high-quality production, although the quality productions stand the test of time, as any fan of The Shining will tell you. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford give nuanced and natural performances in the face of the incredibly unnatural in What Lies Beneath. And if you don't know who Keyser Soze is, watch The Usual Suspects.
Movies for kids. Remember Stand by Me, the classic coming of age tale narrated by Richard Dreyfuss and based on Stephen King's novella The Body? Sportif lasses will love A League of Their Own. Adventure-oriented families will enjoy Chasing Mavericks and Soul Surfer, two newer movies featuring true-to-life tales. And The Color Purple is a must.
Classic films that aren't Casablanca or Gone With the Wind. I live in perpetual awe of Elizabeth Taylor, whose beauty is matched only by her range as an actress. Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf demonstrate both. Too long and/or heavy? For something totally different try After the Thin Man, the black and white classic that was the basis (I think) for the popular 80s television show Moonlighting. And don't forget Bogart and Bacall in The African Queen, the classic movie lover's classic.
Chick flicks. Sofia Coppola's somewhat-controversial Marie Antoinette is brilliant simply for its use of music, its incredible imagery and for the fact that she filmed it right in Versailles, the first filmmaker to have permission to do so. And I will always have a soft spot for the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, as well as Sixteen Candles, home of the best ever Hot Guy with a Heart of Gold (and a Porsche).
Boys Night Out. Courtesy of my husband and his friends: Blackhawk Down. Trading Places. Stripes. Glengarry Glen Ross. Braveheart. Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Predator. And anything with Charles Bronson.

By Lynh Bui
The Washington Post
— As two women walked into a wooded area in late October, a man followed them. He sexually assaulted one and robbed them both at gunpoint. Minutes later and yards away, he did it again, robbing a group of three teenagers near Northwestern High School in Prince George's County, Md., and sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
With no cameras to record the crime in Chillum and few leads, police turned to a seemingly anachronistic investigative tool — the composite sketch.
Police crime analyst and forensic artist Joyce Conlon spent nearly four hours with each of the assault victims, piecing together their memories to produce a picture of a suspect. The result: a black-and-white sketch of a man with a square head, long ears and a gaunt face. Two months later, a suspect was caught in Montgomery County, thanks in part to Conlon's sketch.
"There's not always going to be a camera," Conlon said. "Until we start getting to [an] age where computers are everywhere and Big Brother is watching you, for now the sketch artist is watching you."
In a world saturated with surveillance videos, cellphone cameras and other recording devices that can capture crimes in real time, many police departments across the country still rely on the composite sketch to help solve crimes. And while many police departments have cut back on traditional paper-and-pencil sketches as newer technologies emerge, local forensic artists and police detectives are fighting to make sure hand-drawn sketches don't die out as an investigative tool.
Indeed, many local police officials insist composite sketches are still important to the crime-fighting process when newer technologies can't help. They offer their services to neighboring law enforcement agencies that can't afford a police artist. They invest in training with agencies such as the FBI to improve their skills. And they give regular presentations to detectives within their own departments, pitching composites as an option when they're stumped on certain cases.
They're keeping the practice alive because, they say, the sketches still pay off.
For sure, surveillance video and cameras become even more powerful when combined with the skills of a police artist, said Sgt. Jerry Manley of Prince George's police.
In one recent case, officers had video of a man suspected of beating and robbing a 71-year-old man who ended up in a coma. Conlon produced a sketch with the 71-year-old when he awoke, and detectives peppered the area where the crime occurred looking for leads.
Investigators received several calls saying the person in the sketch looked like an employee of a local Taco Bell. When police investigated, the Taco Bell employee's face was similar, but the body type was nothing like the 220-pound person they caught on camera. Combining the two investigative tools allowed detectives to eliminate a suspect and redirect their resources.
Detectives kept the composites up and got more calls that eventually turned into a solid lead.
"That picture isn't why we locked the guy up, but it generated the phone calls," Manley said.
Suzanne Lowe Birdwell, chair of the Forensic Art Subcommittee for the International Association for Identification, said although cameras often capture grainy or blurry images, they provide details on a suspect's clothing and body frame. Camera images matched with facial features offered up in composites make the two investigative tools even more powerful.
"The videos help prove up the crime, but they don't identify," said Birdwell, a forensic artist for the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Other local police detectives say composite artists' familiarity with the anatomy of a face and their gentle interviewing touch make them invaluable.
"Technology and machinery is cold," said Wayne Promisel, a detective at the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and former Fairfax County police detective. "It is also missing the ability to ask the questions in a certain way in an interview while having a sense of compassion" for victims.
In some cases, police departments use sketch artists with an updated twist. John Dassoulas has been generating composite sketches for Montgomery County police for more than 20 years. But now he opts for composite-generating software, which allows officers and witnesses to select features from a database and piece together a single face. Dassoulas creates about 20 to 30 composites a year, half the demand from a decade ago.
Montgomery County detective Sgt. Robert Grims, who investigates aggravated assaults, robberies and other violent crimes, said he will keep using composites. Not only does he believe that they help, but he also doesn't want the resource to disappear.
"I don't envision it scaled back," said Grims, who has become a "bigger believer" in composites over his 17 years as a criminal investigator.
But forensic artist Michael Streed thinks more departments will follow the lead of the District, whose agency doesn't have a sketch artist at all, instead training officers to use software. Streed works for Baltimore city police and is a full-time forensic artist, one of only about 100 in the nation.
"The role of the police sketch artist will be greatly diminished over time through the use of an effective software solution and the proliferation of surveillance videos," said Streed, who has also developed the composite-generating software Sketch Cop.
There's no standard way for law enforcement agencies to calculate arrest and conviction rates that come with the help of the sketches. And many local composite artists couldn't say how many of their drawings actually helped close cases.
That's a problem, said John Watson, a journalism professor at American University who studies the ethics and effectiveness of composite sketches in the criminal justice system and the media. Inappropriate use of composites contributes to racial profiling, false arrests and wrongful convictions, critics say.
"There are a bunch of studies that explain in great detail why it doesn't work, but nothing has apparently persuaded people to stop using these things," Watson said.
In a 2008 study, Watson and two other researchers surveyed nearly 400 people who were asked to compare a set of 12 composites with 12 photos and say whether the sketch matched the person. About 30 percent of the respondents thought the sketch matched its corresponding photo. But, it turns out, all of the sketches depicted the person in the matching photo.
In his coming research, Watson will insist that police departments come up with a way to calculate how effective their artists are and develop a system to decide whether the benefits of composites outweigh the possible risks.
Conlon doesn't believe composites will die. She said she plans to hone her skills in the coming year, attending more training sessions and planning to earn a certification. She hopes her work leads to more closed cases, like the man suspected of attacking the woman and teen in Chillum.
The teenager remembered the dazed look and gaunt face of the man who attacked her, Conlon recalled. Conlon pieced the memories together.
After seeing the final image, the teenage victim "started to get freaked out," Conlon said. "Her reaction when she came back into the room, that is rewarding in a strange sort of way."

SALEM, Mass. — From his house on the banks of the North River, state Rep. John Keenan can see the sun rise over the stacks of Salem Harbor Station, a coal- and oil-burning power plant once considered to be among the state's worst for pollution.
Keenan, the co-chairman of a legislative committee on energy and utilities, has been a defender of the facility that is the city's top taxpayer and is due to close next year.
Against that backdrop came an interesting development last week on the roof of Keenan's house - solar panels.
Keenan, a 48-year-old Democrat, said the installation of the panels is not a political stunt. It was instead a choice made by his family that reflects his belief in a mix of energy sources.
Keenan said solar panels also make financial sense. With tax credits, rebates, utility savings and something the state calls "solar renewable energy credits," the Keenans will pay off their nearly $32,000 solar system in five to six years.
The Keenans' 25 panels will produce more energy than they consume, which means they may not pay an electric bill ever again, either.
They are not alone in their enthusiasm. Massachusetts has experienced a virtual explosion of interest in solar energy over the past few years. There are an estimated 10,000 solar installations in the state, most residential, with the majority coming in the past few years.
When the state's Green Communities Act passed in 2007, only 3 megawatts of the state's energy was produced by solar power. Today the total exceeds 300 megawatts.
That may be minuscule by power standards — Salem Harbor Station, for example, had a capacity of 745 megawatts — but it's enough to power about 300,000 homes.
Solar panels aren't for everyone. They are best suited for south-facing houses with little shade. While their prices have dropped, the initial investment is not insignificant, and not everyone qualifies for credits and rebates.
But more families are putting up panels. If nothing else, it gets the neighbors peering over fences.
"That's part of what we're trying to do," Keenan said, "is start the discussion."
Tom Dalton is a reporter for The Salem, Mass., News.

George Blanda, the old guy was amazing when he played with the Raiders. Not the most talented but seems like he was always bringing them back for a win and then would kick the extra point.Joe Montana (/Jerry Rice) was kinda fun to watch as well.Hard to pick just two though. These guys are just a couple that come to mind.

For me, the first issue is the defensive scheme. It is clearly not an NFL ready scheme.
The next issue is with how he treats the players. He is treating these guys like school kids. They are professionals, and they WILL resent the coach for treating them as kids. Ask them off the record and they will tell you.
The next red flag was the kneel down plays. It's unethical.
He has zero moral standing on this team because of this abuse of power and therefore will never be regarded as a true leader inside that locker room....IMO. This one was the "game over" signal for me.
The next issue is his inability to make timely adjustments. All year he was barking at the players to "do your job" but the scheme sucks. It WON'T work. Imagine going to work everyday and trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. Not only are you frustrated that you can't seem to get any production, but then you have this idiot yell at you to "do your job".
Case in point is the ATL game. Mr. Stubborn changed up the defense(probably at the urging of the FO) and Biggers looked like a Pro Bowler. Leanord Johnson looked great. Danny Gorrer looked like a pro. How did this happen? The players were suddenly given a round peg to pound through the hole and they proved they CAN do it with the right scheme.
The criticism of Josh Freeman in public was also a mistake IMO. Freeman had one bad game, and after the coach's comments it spiraled into 5 straight bad games. "A work in progress" he surely did turn out to be, after it looked like he had turned the corner. This was unnecessary IMO. These issues are better left out of the press. As soon as he declared Freeman a work in progress.....Freeman instantly became that. This is no coincidence.
Also, the early criticism of the players after the early losses in which he said he would get the players to do their jobs.........ignoring his own complicity in the matter. He clearly said...THEY(players) need to get better, not....WE need to get better. This was a clear indication that Schiano has divided the locker room between the players and the coaches. It was not US, but rather THEM(the players) that need to improve.
I have been in these kinds of locker rooms and it is hell. Conversly, a team that works together to figure things out produces a great environment, where ideas are bounced around between coaches and players, and guess what? Sometimes the players help the coaches figure it out. Sometimes the players can make the coach look good, but only if the coach is open to such things. Clearly Schiano, with his my way or the highway mentality will never cultivate this kind of cooperation inside his locker rooms. The incident with Hayward and Brian Cox was indicative of the divided locker room syndrome.
If he was a proven coach with a proven scheme he could have gotten away with this, but he is not NFL proven. He simply ASSuMEd that the players were the issue without looking inward at his schemes. He simply has no basis to assume that his chemes will work at the NFL level. He has no track record. The NFL requires adaptability, and Coach Schiano, while he didn't prove much this year, certainly proved that he has no ability to adapt, or adjust his schemes. It took 15 games to make defensive adjustments. That is not good enough. He has a rigid belief that his scheme will work if we just practice a little harder, and focus our attention on the details. Just keep pounding that square peg and eventually all of that hard work will pay off.

If you eavesdrop on a typical boating conversation, compromise is invariably mentioned. No single boat style is perfect for every fisherman. Some are more utilitarian than others. But there's always a certain amount of compromise in features and performance. And for serious anglers who also require the shelter of a cabin, decisions get even more complicated: Should you go with an express/cuddy cabin model or a walkaround? I canvassed several builders to get their perspectives.
Meaning of Compromise
Grady-White offers its customers options in both express and walkaround styles. Express models start with the 305 and go up to the 360, while six walkaround models range from 20 feet up to 30. Jim Hardin — a dedicated angler and the company's longtime compliance manager — says each has advantages and disadvantages, depending on personal preference.
"You can certainly walk around the bow of all of our express models. But the walkaround style affords more confidence and safety, since the recessed forward walkaround keeps you down inside the boat. That makes it easier to pull the anchor, follow a fish or dock. You can focus on the task and not worry about your footing."
That recessed forward passageway has its drawbacks though. It eats up space. On the 23 Walkaround, Hardin says the cutout averages eight inches wide by nine inches deep, with even more leeway at the bow. That proportionally reduces the interior cabin space. The squeezing also requires the helm to be located starboard to allow access to the cabin door, and reduces companion helm seating. Conversely, the express models have a center helm, which offers better operating visibility and wraparound seating.
"It all comes down to individual choice," Hardin says. "Both styles are popular. You gain more safety in a walkaround versus more interior cabin space and design flexibility with the express. Both styles will catch fish though," he added.
Natural Evolution
South Florida custom builder Release Boatworks currently offers three models: a 34, 43 and 46. All can be configured as express or walkarounds according to company owner, Jim Turner.
"I was very apprehensive about building a walkaround because it's such a niche boat," he explained. "A lot of people fish tournaments down here, with six- or seven-man crews, so you need plenty of seating. It was a real design challenge to add comfortable seating, and in the process, I discovered the walkaround is a great family boat too. Once people really look at how they use a boat, they'll see the walkaround is a great compromise. You give up the floating condo for a better, more-practical style. It's the evolution of the day boat."
From a light-tackle-fishing standpoint, Turner appreciates the safety and convenience of the single-level forward walkaround deck. Anglers fighting a hot fish can square their hips and run forward without turning. The passageway is wide enough that heavy-tackle harnesses don't bind when moving forward either. The Release center-helm layout also allows the helmsman to keep track of the crew during the fight.

By Emily Younker
CNHI News Service
---- — JOPLIN, Mo. — As a child in Germany's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Marion Blumenthal Lazan focused on finding four pebbles of the same shape and size. Success would mean that the four members of her family would survive the Nazi camp, she rationalized with a 9-year-old's innocence.
"This game gave me something to hold onto, some distant hope," Lazan said Monday night. "I made it my business to find those four pebbles."
Lazan, now 78, shared the memory from a camp in northwest Germany for several hundred people in a packed auditorium at Missouri Southern State University. It's a story she's told publicly for more than 30 years, and wrote about in a book, "Four Perfect Pebbles: A Holocaust Story," published in 1996. It's a story that Lazan urged her audience — especially younger ones — to pass along as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles.
"It is your generation that is the last generation that will hear these stories firsthand," she said. "When we are not here anymore, it is you who will have to bear witness."
Lazan was the younger child of a Jewish family living above its shoe store in Germany in the 1930s. The Blumenthals — father Walter, mother Ruth, son Albert and daughter Marion — received papers they needed to immigrate to the United States as the Nazi party began its crusade against the Jews. In 1939, they left for Holland, from where they would depart.
But, in May 1940, one month before they were scheduled to leave for the United States, the Germans invaded Holland. The family was trapped at Westerbork transit camp.
They remained there nearly four years, until January 1944, when they and other Jews were shipped out in cattle cars for a Nazi camp in eastern Europe. Lazan and the other young children were naively "glad for the change of environment," she said. The adults feared what lie ahead.
They arrived at the Bergen-Belsen camp on a cold, rainy night. They were greeted by the shouts, rifles and attack dogs of the German guards, said Lazan, who was 9 at the time. Men and women were separated, and groups of 600 were sent to live in wooden, unheated barracks that designed for 100 people. They slept two per bunk.
The German military had established Bergen-Belsen in 1940 as a prisoner-of-war camp. It held about 7,300 prisoners in July 1944 and more than 60,000 by April 1945, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Life there was nightmarish. Lazan said she never saw trees or grass. Toilets consisted of a long wooden bench cut with holes. There was no privacy or soap, and only limited running water. Prisoners were given a slice of bread daily — later once per week — and hot, watery soup, she said.
"Our birthday present to one another was that little piece of bread that we had saved from the previous week," she said.
Lice infested prisoners' bodies, clothes and hair. Lazan said her "primary pastime" became squishing the bugs between her fingers.
Malnutrition and dysentery "destroyed body and mind," she said, and corpses of those who died were never removed quickly enough. She recalls once seeing a wagon loaded with what she assumed was firewood for barrack's oven. She later realized that it had actually been a pile of dead, naked bodies.
"We, as children, saw things that no one - no matter what the age - should ever have to see," she said.
By spring of 1945, Allied forces were closing in on the Germans, and the Nazis decided started to send some of the Bergen-Belsen prisoners to extermination camps. The Blumenthal family was among those loaded onto a train for transport, said Lazan.
Two weeks later, the Russian army liberated the train. They were free.
"I vividly remember the spring of 1945," said Lazan, who at age 10 had withered to 35 pounds. "The weather was beautiful, sunny and bright. The trees and grass were lush and green. Flowers were in bloom, birds were singing. It was a wonderful, exciting feeling to be free at long last."
When British forces liberated Bergen-Belsen camp, itself, they found many of its prisoners to be seriously ill. There were thousands of unburied corpses.
An estimated 50,000 people - including Anne Frank, whose diary was famously published posthumously - died at Bergen-Belsen during its five-year existence, according to the museum. Another 13,000 liberated from the camp later died from their illnesses. Lazan's father, succumbing to typhus, was one of them.
The Nazis killed about 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews - including Gypsies, disabled people and gay people - during the Holocaust.
Of those who survived an estimated 500,000 are still living, according to the UJA Federation, a Jewish philanthropy with U.S. headquarters in New York. In 2011, it was estimated that 127,000 survivors are living in the United States, though many are in their 80s and 90s, and they are passing away at a rate of perhaps thousands each year.
Another journey
Granted freedom at age 10, Lazan began learning about life. Using the same tickets purchased years earlier, she eventually immigrated with her mother and brother to the United States.
They landed in Hoboken, N.J., on April 23, 1948 — three years to the day of their liberation. A Jewish relief organization found them a home in Peoria, Ill. Lazan started fourth grade at age 13.
She eventually graduated from high school and soon thereafter married her husband of 60 years, Nathaniel Lazan. They now have three children, nine grandchildren and two great-granddaughters. Her mother lived to be 104 years old, and her brother currently lives on the West Coast.
"Despite all the terrible things that happened to me as a child, my life today is full and rewarding," she said.
Lazan keeps few mementos from that era, including the "ugly" yellow Star of David that she was forced to wear to identify herself as a Jew. Most of what she keeps and shares are memories, which are enough for those who come to listen.
"It really kind of touched me," said eighth-grader Imogen Eads, "because sometimes it's really hard to comprehend the hardships, especially when we have such an easy life now."
As she traveled from New York to Southwest Missouri for this week's presentations, Lazan said she thought about the May 2011 tornado that destroyed one-third of the city and killed 161 people - and the difference between the uncontrollable terror of a storm and terror that is entirely man-made.
"There is nothing we can do against nature's wrath and nature's devastation," she said, "but how we as humans behave toward one another, that is up to us."

Yes, the nation's debt ceiling has to be raised.
Whether or not that action includes some kind of compromise on spending or delay of any Obamacare provisions that President Obama doesn't want to delay (he delays others unilaterally, without even consulting Congress), the bottom line is that it has to be raised.
On that much, the president deserves some kind of validation, if only for stating the obvious.
And while Republicans are correct to push for controls on spending and for a delay in the individual mandate for Obamacare (since the president granted a year's delay for employers), they ought to be smart enough to know that using a government shutdown or a vote on the debt ceiling as leverage is not a winning political strategy.
Republicans ought to know that the mainstream media will ignore the long-term catastrophic implications of unrestrained growth in the debt, since that would take doing some homework on the projections of the Congressional Budget Office. They ought to know the media will focus only on short-term sob stories from the growing ranks of helpless dependents, cruelly abandoned by a temporary halt in government support.
We have heard, and will keep hearing, that Republicans want children to die! Republicans don't want poor families to be able to put food on the table! They don't want new wonder drugs to be developed to save sick people! They don't want children to have good schools! They want elderly people to freeze! Etc.
But, while Obama enjoys having his media lapdogs do his heavy lifting against his opponents, it would be nice if he could drop the sanctimonious tone about how he's taking the high moral ground on the debt ceiling – that simply raising it means the nation is doing the fiscally responsible thing.

He is an artist known for The Heidelberg Project, and she wrote some of the biggest dance and soundtrack hits of all time. Tuesday, they met in an unlikely place.As a light rain began to fall on a junkyard on Detroit's east side, waiters served a catered lunch to artist Tyree Guyton, song writer Allee Willis and friends."We have been talking about a collaborative project, helping her to come back here to the city and wanting to do something here, and I'm excited," Guyton said.It was a "funk-tion in the junk-tion," a meeting of creative minds."It just blows my mind to come here [the junkyard]. I find peace here and pieces," Guyton said.Pieces of scrap that will become art. Meanwhile, the colorful Willis wrote "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" for Earth, Wind and Fire and "Neutron Dance" for the Pointer Sisters."I was born in Detroit. I was raised in Detroit. I absolutely love Detroit. I've lived in Los Angeles 30 years, but my love has never died for the city," she said.As such, Willis has an Indiegogo campaign going and a song called "The D.""I'm coming back in September to record with, I hope, hundreds of thousands of Detroiters. I would love everyone in the city on this record," she said.

WOW! Anthony you lucky duck! My dream machine right there.
Anthony, how can I apply for this job that you're on? You're truly a lucky bloke to get behind the wheel of this ferocious machine. Even if I can spend just 15 minutes behind this car, it will be truly exceptional experience that I will never forget.
Amazing car, surely the ultimate sports car !!
I'd speculate there's a few enthusiasts who are very annoyed at that waiting list of 2-3 years.
Picture it, you're a real car nutter like me, you just won Lottery and you've got $2m buring a hole in your pocket, you visit your Lamborgini dealer, place your 20% deposit and that'll be Christmas 2014 Sir !!!
Cars don't get much better than this!
What a weapon. Top three dream car that i'll never be able to afford.
Awesome review.
Christian Mastro of Lamborghini, you're wrong.
.."So, at the very least, the Turbo S will crack 100km/h in 2.9 seconds and punch through the 320km/h barrier without breaking a sweat. In the UK, Porsche's official acceleration figures have already been demolished on independent tests and it's safe to say that the next generation Turbo models will push the performance envelope beyond what any of us thought possible". – Kevin Hackett, CarAdvice, Oct 2010.
…and 2011 Nissan GT-R
"2011 Nissan GT-R 3.8-litre twin turbocharged V6 six-speed dual-clutch transmission 390kW/612Nm, 0-100km/h: 3.0 seconds, top speed: 311km/h – $168,800 (Manufacturer's List Price) By Anthony Crawford | August 29th, 2011″
Ant…you have an amazingly sweet job! Car looks awesome and hopefully some lucky soul is able to buy one here so we can see it in the flesh.
On another note…Lamborghini seem to have some amazing technology in which it can swap the steering wheel from the left to right handside (14th pic down)
That's because of the suspension setup and there's no engine/gearbox in front.
Take a closer look at the pics…there are LHD and RHD versions at this drive day (hint: look closely at the centre console for the giveaway knob that proves they are different cars, not a reversed picture).
Ahh…fair enough! Curse my lazy eyes!
Sweet…can't wait for mine to get delivered =)
Anthony, you guys have the BEST job in the world!!
Pretty nice, although it's a shame the doors no longer swing straight up vertically
before this comments section degenerates too far into the "Yeah but the GTR can do this and that and it only costs blah blah blah….." I wish to congratulate the reviewer on a well written and enjoyable read, well done!
Awesome car, stupid name.
Hey genius, so what do you suppose we should call it?
Hey pole smoker, go suckle yours mothers breast
HAHA! Maybe you wanted it named Aligator??
A magnificent car in its true environment, on the track!
Anyone who wants to drive this on the road, probably has the same same self image problems as the person who bought the horn from the last wild Javanese rhinocerous that was recently killed in Vietnam by poachers.
If you are not going to race the car then what's the point?
I know I will get voted down, but I had to say it.
well you cant go to the track and race it everyday and all day. maybe you've got an Aventador and just wanna hit the road . it doesn't have to be through the burbs. every city has some nice twisty roads where you don't have to go 300kph to have some fun
If I ever win the raffle I'm going to buy 2, one for me to drive and one that I'm going to keep at a tack and let every car enthusiast have a free go for a little while as I believe that everyone who loves cars should have the opportunity to drive one of these once in their life.
Anybody need a kidney? I've got a spare….
It's a nice touch putting the firing order on top of the engine cover but why? This is tough in Matt Black and it's super low IRL.
Awesome car! As I've said before, I hope they reproduce this car in die-cast 1:18 size. It'll be the only way I'll ever be able to afford one.
And whats the bet that $754,600 is pre government and etc taxes….
Damnit i only have 753,500 lying around….
It'd be pre stamp duty and rego that's it. Pity the stamp duty is over $30K
I'm thinking of buying one of these, but I can't see anything about the towing capacity. Can you get a tow bar for these? I think it would drag the caravan along quite well as it seems to have enough power and torque. I'm also wondering about roof bars too, for the ski box.
Anyone have any information?
Exhaust gets in the way of tow bar, and putting chains on would be a bitch, stupid car
Umm. I hadn't thought about the exhaust outlets. I'll have to check that out. BTW, chains are required in NSW on AWD vehicles, so that isn't an issue with this car. Perhaps the Porsche Panamera might be a better option for the caravan and ski box.
Should say chains are not required in NSW.
Thanks, you are correct, typo error from me or maybe it was the predictive text. AWD vehicles do not need chains in NSW. So how fast do you reckon I can do the 500km from Sydney to Thredbo? My record is 3h 40 mins in 1988 when you could use radar detectors. Now, it is about 5 hrs and a bit. Progress!
lol u r legend
Great news, this car looks amazing, recently many super cars are being launched in India, this Lamborghini is going to rank high among them.
Lamborghini great as always, but why white?! :/
could a p-plater drive this?
Nobody actually buys them outside your country? Hehehe, just go at American cars city. You will see than many Europeans will pay a astronomical price just to own on. There is a hype in Europe, but due
the import tax and gas price it's more difficult.
llike who is going to buy this car this prise bill gates

3.75/5 rDev -8.1%
Poured an light orange amber, not much white head, not much at all
smelled of citrus hopes, orange. hint of grapefruit. touch of sweetness. honeyish
hop assault with citrus/orange dominate. The hops stay with you for a long while. Not much sweet to balance it, but not your west coast hop bomb. pretty interesting.
Mouth is ok, but is kinda hot. Not the best for a DIPA. but ok.
Overall not the best DIPA i've had but it's not bad by any means, or even average. Good stuff but not as good as others

Poured a great rich clear bronze witha very well retained 1/2 finger head with a fine bead just a pleasure to look at I have to say.The aromas are quite citric alot grapefruit in there maybe a note of apricot over top of caramel malt a whif of alcohol shows thru more so as it warms.This is not an in your face DIPA although the hops do pack a good punch not to mention alot of complexities citrus and piney cascades and chinooks really show themselves I even get a little earthiness as it warms saying all that there is a big enough of juicy lightly sweet caramel malt backbone to almost hold up against the hop onslaught.Wow amazed at this beer the alcohol is so well hidden you would have no idea how big it was and the hops take the show,"an unhibited infusion of hops" per bottle that sums it up,kick ass!

Appearance This was a glowing brown in color and very clear with a good, reputable head.
Smell The big, citrus hops did this bouquet proud. They didnt run away with the nose though, as this ale has a wonderful malty base and a good sense of alcohol.
Taste The malts are huge at the taste, and the alcohol lightens up a bit making this a nicely balanced brew. The citrus hops are large and in charge. This is a flavor explosion.
Mouthfeel This is a solid medium-bodied with a slick, almost greasy mouthfeel. Its interesting, because the hops are huge but its not brutally bitter.
Drinkability This is a good-drinking bigger beer that was the life of the party.
Comments Thanks to BeerGuy for donating this monster bomber to skyhands Broken Fridge party.

Very pretty IPA color. Bright orange copper with equal amounts of brown and red hues. Head is gigantic, creamy, and just off white. Lacing is sticky and lasting. Aroma is powerful and diverse. Malt is difficult to determine. There may be some caramel but its hard to get past the hops. Resinous aroma of pine and juicy aroma of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple. No hint of booze. Is this really 11%? 153 IBUs stated on the lable. Scary. Actually its the taste that is scary. No hint of the ABV and oddly, this is a lot less unbalanced then I would have thought. The body is very full and warming is certainly happening. Flavors of citrus are juicy and rich, velvety and luscious. Seconds of toast and caramel fade in and out but are hard to focus on and are often overwhelemed by grapefruit. Still, they are present. Drinkability is not that great until one takes into account the fact that this is 11% and 153 IBUs. With those facts taken under consideration, this beer is downright stellar.
Bottle purchased at La Cav du Vin, Cleveland.

Pours a murky amber, copper color, highly opaque with an off-white, two finger head. Decent lacing is left along the sides of the glass nearly all the way down. Aroma is heavy on hops, of course, of the spicy variety, resinous and piney, backed by some caramel, toasted malts. Mouth is big and heavy, kind of sticky and thick - hops up front with a nice spicy character, white pepper, coriander, grapefruit rinds, oil and resin, and light pine needles. Lemon and orange zest are abundant, as is the powerful alcohol character, think PineSol. Malts are used liberally and do a fine job of clashing and balancing the heavy hop bill. Caramel malts, light toffee, molasses, high sweetness, and a touch of some medicinal and metallic flavors. Carbonation is a little lower than I was expecting; thick, almost syrupy body.
Solid DIPA, reminds me a little bit of Weyerbacher's Double Simcoe. Nice spicy hop profile and a good balance with plenty of caramel malts.

Picked this beast (22oz bomber) up for under $7.00. All I can say is WOW. This is one of the greatest DIPAs ever. What a wonderful creation. Thank you Southern Tier.
A-Poured from 22 oz bomber into 12 oz snifter in two pours of course. Poured with about a finger width of head. Nice amber color.
S-Sweet with hops, faint pine, caramel smell
T-Exceptional flavor, bold hops with proper balance of sweetness. I like the sticky head at the beginning. Alcohol is present but is carried by flavor properly with a strong finish.
M-Hops slam your tounge with perfect bitterness followed by the sweet finish. Drinks a little thicker and finishes perfect not to dry.
D-Very good. With 10+% ABV you better take it easy.

Excited about this bottle that I received via trade.
A-Looking pretty good, golden beer with a decent white head that dissipated quickly.
S-Citrus and tropical fruit flavors, slight pine smell, sweet caramel malt
T-Very malt and fruit forward DIPA, some bread caramel flavors, slightly grain flavor, hop flavor not as prevelant at first but hit on the way back, citrus grapefruit presence there but has a backseat, alcohol flavors seem to sharpen the flavors rather than compliment them, Overly sweet, too much alcohol, and would have preferred more upfront hops
M-Good but not great, slightly grainy feel and alcohol flavor detracted, good carbonation tickle
D-Not a big fan of this one and didn't make it through the whole bottle. I find too much alcohol sweetness in Southern Tier beers that don't compliment the flavors underneath which are usually very good.

Picked this up for $6.99 at Binny's in the South Loop.
I like some humorous copy on a beer label but when it is all marketing and tells you nothing about the beer, I always feel like the label doesn't come directly from the brewers. Anyhow, I digress.
A: I could have done with pouring more vigorously. Slightly creamy yellow, fine frothy half a finger head. Medium hazy amber that becomes yellow gold toward the bottom. Nice lacing.
S: Like smelling hop resin - pretty intense. Big fresh fruity hops. Pine forest with lemon and tangerine. Some sweet maltiness in the background. The alcohol is there for sure but doesn't dominate.
T: On first taste it fills the mouth with a nice caramel maltiness and goes into a surprisingly sweet and lemony hop profile. Big hop but not big aggressive bite. Some sourness in the aftertaste. When it settled, it didn't do it for me in quite the same way. The fruit became more tart and the hop bite developed a big pine bite. When it warmed up, it became too soapy for me.
M: Feels like a nice medium body. Slick and smooth. Carbonation is low.
D: An impressive beer but the mix and focus was just not right for my personal taste. It goes down real easy. The trouble is that it is 11 ABV! An evening on this stuff would be a short evening indeed.

This beer pours a nice light orange with a thin white head. The aroma is loaded with hops but balanced with some malty sweetness. It has a full body with solid bitterness to balance out the imperial maltiness. It finishes well and leaves you wanting more. Overall, a very good beer.

A - Nice bronze color, very clear, with a medium carbonation...very nice for this style. Pour into a chalice, small head, that faded to nothing pretty quick. A little surprised by that with the cara-pils they used.
S - Awesome smell, nice citrus and floral aromas with a little pine smell in there. Really pleasing smell.
T - Very good taste, no alcohol bite. Very nice citrus and floral hop flavors. Wasn't as bitter as I was expecting or would have liked, but I really like hops. Very balanced for a high IBU beer, not sure if I believe it is 135 as I have seen posted, but it does have a good malt backbone, so the balance my be fooling me.
M - It was good, not too dry, nice silky feel. About what I would expect in and Imperial IPA.
D - For such a high ABV beer I would say it is pretty drinkable. No problem with a 22 ounce bomber, but after that I am done. This is how I am with most high IBU beer, I love the assult on my senses for about 22-24 ounces worth of time, then it is time to relax.
Can't say I am blown away by this beer, but it is certainly very good and I am sure I will enjoy again in the future.

Aggressive pour from a bomber into a tulip glass.
Clear honey color with a fluffy, sticky, pale orange head that doesn't dissipate and leaves a noticeable ring. Very nice lacing down the glass.
Assertive and complex mix of herbal, floral, and citrus with some sweet, biscuity malt thrown in.
Very strong on the citrus and herbal flavors, with noticeable warming from the alcohol. Surprisingly high residual sugars that become overwhelming (along with the alcohol) if it warms up too much.
Nice balance of thick creaminess with moderate carbonation that satisfies without overwhelming for the style.
The bottle recommends 42 F, which sounds cold, but I wouldn't recommend drinking it any warmer. DIPAs seem to each have a unique balance point, and this one is definitely a bit better on the cooler side. Regardless, this beer demands food accompaniment. Not for the faint of heart of the empty-stomached.

The Unearthly Imperial IPA arrives in an awesome silkscreened bomber, my eyes catch that this is dry hopped with cascade, centenial and chinook..oh yeah, bring it on! Pours from the bottle a wonderful reddish orange huge with exquisite clarity. A nice cap of off white head tops it off in fine style. Aromas hit with dank citric and fresh sap dripping piney hop goodness. Overflowing lupulin oils drench an underlying caramelly dough maltiness. Green, earthy and herbal are all words that also come to mind. Just the aroma I look for in a DIPA.
First sip brings a dense maltiness that brings to mind caramel covered hop cones. Citrusy and piney hop oils rush across the palate bringing a good dose of bitterness with them on the way down. A bit doughy/biscuity with an overall earthy, herbal element to it. Finishes with a lingering hoppy bitterness. Hoppy burps ensue, this is a darn tasty imperial IPA with a touch of spiciness and well hidden alcohol...well done!
Mouthfeel is rather big and chewy...this one really makes itself known with each sip. Mellower on the carbonation side, which is nice. I really enjoy the flavor here, but the 11% abv hinders the drinkability a bit for me, as this bomber is gonna get me plenty buzzed. Overall, a wonderfully hoppy brew that still maintains a sturdy malt backbone...this is a DIPA I hope to have the chance to come back to again sometime and another winner for Souther Tier. Thanks warriorsoul!

Been wanting to try this for a while, finally got a bottle from jjayejaye, thanks...
Pours a nice clear copper color with some carbonation bubbles rising to the surface to support an eighth inch of offwhite head. Nice tight lacing left on the glass too.
Aroma is sweet and hop laden. Lots of caramel and candy sugar, a little sweet bubble gum and cotton candy. Floral and citrus hops dominate, tangerine and orange peels.
Pretty nice flavor with a lot of stuff going on, fairly balanced overall. A solid caramel backbone works underneath a lot of different hops flavors. Has a grapefruity edge and some bitter citrus pith flavors. Some floral hints work well with the caramel malts, but the finish has a nice bitter edge and a touch of pine sap to round it out. Good stuff. Alcoholic edge though.
Pretty thick mouthfeel, a bit oily. Carbonation levels are right on. Coats the mouth like sticky syrup, which for me hurts the drinkability a bit.
Good drinkability overall, a bit too sweet for me to have much more than this bomber. I like a drier, more resin-like DIPA personally. Its good stuff though and worth a try.

A 22oz bomber poured into a tulip glass. It was a clear amber color with a small head. Wonderful aroma: hop resin, pine, something sweet like honey. Flavor's great too. Hops up front, a subtle pine taste. The sweetness in the taste seemed to be more fruity. A substantial beer, one to sip and savor.

CNHI News Service
ONEONTA, N.Y. — A bus monitor accused of using a seat-belt buckle to hit a 5-year-old boy on an Oneonta, N.Y., school bus was arrested Thursday and has been fired from her job, city police said.
The boy wasn't treated for any injuries, but he did have a bloody nose after a fight with another boy that had been instigated by the bus monitor, whose responsibilities include overseeing pupil behavior, police said.
Heather J. Ferris, 27, of Schenevus, N.Y., was charged Thursday with second-degree attempted assault, a felony, and with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, police said. Ferris was released to the custody of her parents.
Lt. Douglas Brenner said the investigation continues to determine if Ferris was involved in other such incidents involving children. He didn't know how long Ferris had worked for Birnie Bus Service Inc.
Brenner said the incident with the boy happened on the bus ride to school at about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. The principal at Riverside Elementary School, Melinda Murdock, reported it to the boy's family, Brenner said, and the boy's mother filed a complaint at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
On Thursday, the bus company provided police with a video and audio recording made on the bus, Brenner said.
"The video is disturbing," Brenner said. Ferris' words as well as actions using the buckle to hit the boy on his body and face were recorded, he said, and she is accused of instigating and promoting a fight between the 5-year-old and another boy.
David Rowley, interim superintendent of the Oneonta City School District, said the district contracts with Birnie Bus to provide transportation for students. The bus company immediately reported the incident to the school district, Rowley said, and the boy's family was contacted immediately.
Ferris already had been removed from her position by the time the school district requested such action, Rowley said, and the district has cooperated with the police and that department's investigation.

4.15/5 rDev +3.2%
Picked up a 22oz bomber at significant discount. Figured I'd give it a whirl...
A: Pours a pretty dark orange / light amber into a Duvel tulip glass... almost tea-like; a bit cloudy from some bottle conditioned sediment that's been stirred up on the pour; thick, off-white head manages some very nice retention, leaving impressive rings of thick, sticky lace.
S: Light clove and estery aromas from the Belgian yeast; white pepper; grapefruit pith; cracker malts. It seems to smell more of a tripel, initially - then evolve to IPA territory as it warms... interesting.
T: A very interesting blend of flavors makes it difficult to pick up on individual nuances. I'd say that the esters typical of Belgian yeast are quite noticeable - mainly the clove and bubblegum notes. Although they are not huge, as the imperial IPA hops / malts tone things down... Citrus hops and light touch of pine resin round things out.
M: Full mouthfeel; low-medium carbonation; creamy. Very nice feel.
O: This is a style that I don't try very often. I usually find the blend of tastes off-putting or forced. This one is really not bad. Don't really know if I'd have it again, but it's pretty tasty.

Appearance - This is a super-cloudy light orange in color with a decent head.
Smell - This is very interesting. There are basically two bouquets to this ale. The first one is classic American DIPA. The big, stiff piney hops and rich, caramel-laden malt scream West Coast DIPA. But then there is a Belgian Tripel kind of aroma. It's behind the first one for sure, but I can pick up some fine Belgian yeast and some traditional Tripel spicing, particularly coriander.
Taste - OK, this is officially The Freak. It's like drinking two beers very similar to the notes I made about the smell. The American DIPA is more prominent and that yeast aroma hardly showed up at all, but there is some classic Belgian spicing to this beer that makes it a wonderful DIPA/Tripel hybrid.
Mouthfeel - This is bigger than medium-bodied but not full. It is exceptionally balanced and has some terrific carbonation. There is no real bitterness to the drink even though it is swimming in hops.
Drinkability - This is actually quite an easy-drinking ale. Again, at the risk of sounding repetitive, the balance makes this a fabulous offering. The various flavors work in perfect harmony and produce a big, giant beer with what could easily be competing flavors but that work incredibly well together and go down like nobody's business. Grean Flash pulled off a miracle with this effort - it is a unique beer that speaks to the boldness and creativity of the brewmasters. Well done!

4.55/5 rDev +13.2%
A: a slightly hazy, glowing amber with orange highlights. The persistant, rocky, off-white leaves some light lacing on the glass.
S: An intense hop aroma that is mostly pineapple and citrus with some pine. There is a grassy note mixed with a more herbaceous note like sage. A moderately-light candy sugar like malt aroma blends with orange esters. Light peppery phenols and a soft alcohol aroma round out the nose for this delicious smelling beer.
T: There is high hops bitterness but it's supported by a moderate, clean malt sweetness. There is moderately-strong hops flavors of pineapple, citrus with some pine. The grassiness os from the dry hopping but the sage and rosemary might be from the fermentation or actual herb additions. Moderate orange flavors from the yeast. The balance is firmly bitter having a dry finish with a lingering bitterness and pine.
M: medium-light bodied with moderately-high carbonation. There is no creaminess, a little dryness from the high CO2 and a moderate warming from the alcohol.
O: I love this West Coast Belgian; it combines my favorite element of each in an assertive yet balanced beer. It'll make hop head somewhat happy , just don't except a total hop bomb.

22oz bomber pours into my glass a clear golden yellow/orange hue with a creamy two fingers of foam on top and good active carbonation as well. Aromas start out with fruity yeast esters and spiciness with some clove and a touch of pepper. Big citrusy hops with orange peel accents. Quite intricate and the hop kick is quite nice.
First sip brings crisp malt upfront with a nice melding of Belgian yeast esters and fruity spiciness. Notes of clove, nutmeg and a light peppery accent. Midway through the hops kick in with a citrusy/bitter hit. Notes of orange peel and hop resins on the way down. Finishes smooth with a bit of lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, somewhat creamy and smooth. Goes down with ease for being nearly 10%. Overall, a tasty Belgian IPA for sure. I've only had a few so far but I have enjoyed them. Thanks to PatronWizard for sending this my way.

So this is how you do this style. I loved it. In a tulip, it was a gold color, maybe a bit on the orange side. Thick white head with copious lace. Aroma of an IPA and a tripel. Floral and citrus combining with sugar and yeast. Same thing with the taste. Mostly grapefruit, a little pine, with cotton candy and yeast. A balanced combination. Would drink this one anytime.

From notes. No bottle date. Purchased 8/10, consumed 3/1/11
A - Pours a clear orange/copper with three fingers of very persistent head. Leaves some lacing.
S - Smell is mostly tropical fruit hops, citrus and sweet malts. Slight amount of spiciness, definitely some coriander.
T - Probably let this sit a bit too long, as the hop component is pretty subdued. Still, pleasant citrus and tropical fruit hop taste up front, with good malt following. Maybe a bit too sweet.
M - Medium mouthfeel with nice hop bite. Slightly drying feeling.
O - Very enjoyable Belgian IPA. Noticeable alcohol takes it down a notch.

22 oz bottle. Pours a clear light copper with a creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is interesting and unique - grapefruits and citrus, floral hops, spices and pepper, banana, and sweet sugary malts.
The flavor is sweet gummy malt and melon followed by a big bitter hop finish - floral with some charred tar that lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is light bodied and watery.
Overall, I didn't really care for the taste profile of the hops or the balance of gummy sweetness and hops.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pt. 6oz bottle into a chalice. The label has the abv. listed at 9.2% and there is no freshness date.
Appearance: The body has a light yellow gold color and a cloudy appearance. Its head builds up tall before slowly settling down to small covering which hangs on well and makes for some nice lacing.
Smell: Its aroma has a solid hopy presence with some classic Belgian yeast and sweet malt.
Taste/Palate: Up front on this one are loads of classic Belgian funk, yeast and malts. The hop character slowly builds up and adds big juicy citrus and tropical hop notes. The hops finish this one off with a blend of funk and pine like hops. The palate feels full and well carbonated.
Notes: The hop flavor was big and bold which made for a very interesting beer.

Pours a semi hazy, bright gold with a magnificent white, thick head that goes absolutely nowhere. Terrific lacing and tons of tiny bubbles rising to the surface. Smell is of honey, belgian spices, clove, like a good tripel. Taste is where the hops come though...bigtime. Huge hop presence of grapefruit and aspirin-y flavors in the finish. Astringent. It's got all the characteristics of a great tripel - honey, spices ala clove, coriander, white grapes, with a very bold hoppiness that kicks you in the face and grabs you by the balls. I love it. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy, very carbonated with tiny bubbles typical of Belgian Ales, astringent-dry finish. Tremendous beer and the best of the style I have had so far...better than La Chouffe, Hop-It, etc. I've only had their IPA and now this but Green Flash has got it goin' on.

On tap at the Gate in Brooklyn ,NY as part of their recent California bee event. Always nice to try a new offering from a Green Flash. This pours hazy, apricot amber, under a rich looking off white head, that lasts and dissolves to tiny bubble film and shimmering lace on the glass. nose explodes with , ripe fuits, tropical and citrus, yeast, bread, and a mellow undertone of funk, wow, nice. Heady, bold and tasty brew. A lot going on here. Yeast, more tropical fruity ester, spiced up hops. Yummy, aggressive brew. Love the style and this one delivers the goods. Only wish this one was available in the local area on a regular basis. Oh well, gotta get back out to San Diego!

The Beers of California
Freshness Date: None
A: Hazy golden in my snifter topped with about a finger and a half of bone white fluffiness which fades leaving a film on the glass
S: Spice and powdery, biscuity maltiness with highlights of banana and possibly even pine.
T: This brew is built on a biscuity, powdery, fresh baked bread maltiness that lends this brew a wonderful chewiness. Strong black pepper and clove appropriately paired with hints of banana and peach. The hops are bittering adding also some notes of lemon citrus and pine needles. Nice warming alcohol finish.
M: Chewy with good linger and moderate carbonation
O: Green Flash's version of marrying Belgian and California style brews. A brew which at first may confuse and overwhelm the palate, but remains interesting, exploring new flavor combinations, and creating a style of its own. Although a brew with good ideas, it is far from perfect and I am interested to see how California breweries build on this style of Belgian / West Coast blends.

JOPLIN, Mo. — The classic Maya were gifted scientists with a keen sense of the heavens, says astronomer Mark Claussen. They understood the moon's phases and detected a slight wobble of the Earth's axis.
But these days the Maya are more commonly known for predicting the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012. Its a piece of apocalyptic lore dismissed by Claussen, of National Radio Astronomy Observatory near Socorro, N.M., as well as his brother, Sam, who teaches a class in Mayan civilization at Missouri Southern State University.
"The Mayans never predicted such a thing," said Sam Claussen. The doomsday date, he said, merely marks the end of the 20th cycle of a long-count calendar associated with the Maya.
"Think of it like an odometer in your car turning to zero," he said. "When that happens, does the car explode or quit running? Of course not."
Mark Claussen visited his brother's class this week to talk about the Maya, their astronomy and apocalyptic visions.
Among the latter theories: A rogue planet called "Nibiru" - which scientists have not actually seen - will soon smash into the Earth.
"A planet-sized chunk of rock can't stay hidden," said Mark Claussen. "It couldn't have escaped our attention."
Then there's the notion the Earth's poles will switch, throwing life as we know it into chaos. Evidence exists of polar switching, said Claussen, but it's a 10,000-year phenomenon, not something that occurs with four shopping days left until Christmas.
Also slow to form, he said, are solar flares, with some fear will spew from the sun come Dec. 21 and cause problems here on Earth.
A final theory, "galactic alignment," sounds like vintage science fiction and posits the sun's passage across something called the "Great Rift," a slash down the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The sun is to blot out a massive black hole, the theory holds, which will cause untold havoc here at home.
That rift, said Claussen, is actually a cloud of dust and gas.
"It bothers me a little bit that all the cool stuff about the Mayans is being upstaged by the world-ending talk," said Sam Claussen, a retired member of the Southern theater faculty who now co-teaches the Mayan civilization class with sociologist Conrad Gubera. "Maybe on Jan. 1, all the people will start looking at the fascinating things the Mayans (accomplished)."
