À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Mother Nature reigns supreme in the pristine countryside surrounding Quebec City, and you'll be in the heart of it on this magnificent tour.
Starting off from the pier, you will head outside of the city limits and into the idyllic French Canadian countryside. Riding through the foothills, you'll see the majestic Laurentian Mountains in the distance, the St. Lawrence River below, and the wonders of nature all around. Upon reaching serene Lac-Beauport, a scenic lake surrounded by emerald forest and frequented by outdoor adventurers, you'll stop for photos.
It's a great introduction to the natural beauty that lies ahead at Montmorency Falls, which thunder down 275 feet into the St. Lawrence River. Explorer Samuel de Champlain named the falls for his patron, the Duke of Montmorency, and it's a memorable tribute as the falls are 90 feet higher than Niagara Falls. The views are stunning from the elegant Montmorency Manoir, where you may enjoy tea and pastries, before crossing the bridge to the Island of Orleans. At its southwestern tip, facing Quebec City, you'll visit Sainte-Pétronille, a village that has been a fashionable summer resort since the 19th century. Of course, Canada is synonymous with maple syrup, so you'll also stop at an authentic sugar shack to learn how maple syrup is made and to sample sweet maple taffy.
Afterward, rejoin your coach for the relaxing and scenic drive back to the pier.
Please note: Walking on this tour is mainly at the guests' discretion during the stops. There will be various gradients and surfaces to negotiate. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Scooters under 60 lbs. are permitted. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Rain resistant layered clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. The tour sequence may vary and dependent upon congestion at Manoir Montmorency, tea and pastries may be served at the sugar shack instead.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A Tucson babysitter convicted of negligent homicide for leaving an infant girl unattended in a bathtub has been sentenced to one year in jail.
Pima County prosecutors say Zada Marie Davis also was sentenced Monday to four years' probation.
Davis was convicted in April for leaving 10-month-old Winter Breeze Azure in a bathtub with the water running for at least 40 minutes while she was babysitting the child in June 2012.
The Arizona Daily Star (http://bit.ly/18TxOFP) says Davis also has been ordered by a judge to seek mental health treatment and complete 400 hours of community service.
She also must earn a GED, complete parenting classes and not work as a caretaker for children or vulnerable adults in the future.

A Note from Bren
August 21, 2010 by Addy
Filed under Blogs, DJ Blogs, Morning Show
I'm not even sure where to begin this. It's been such a wirlwhind week.
It's started out as a trip for the radio station…let me go to Africa again, see a different culture, learn more about kids and report back to the station. Basically a glorified vacation. And I can't say that I didn't enjoy getting away from it all, but it has become so much more than that. I am responsible now for what I've seen here.
I started out last Saturday talking about John 1:27 where it says that true religion is taking care of the widows and the orphans…sort of the "we will know we are Christians by our love" type of thing. Matthew 25 was next, the passage where it talks about how people will do all of these great things in god's name but at the end won't make it into heaven because while they did "good " things, they didn't take care of the poor or feed the hungry, or clothe those who were naked. Really touching stuff right? But seeing the faces of the kids this week has driven it home so much more. Those verses are meant for me to live by, it's a creed. If you love me (god), feed my sheep, take care of those less fortunate. That's what this whole Christian walk is all about. It's not about how many church services you go to, how much scripture you know, it's about what you're doing for others. How are you being a blessing to your fellow man.
I've hugged on kids and said hi to strangers and opened up my life so much this week. But I don't even know my next door neighbor. Why is it so easy to show and share love with someone/people on a completely different continent but can't do it, or are too shy to do it right in my own backyard? Is it because I'm on a mission for God this week? Isn't my whole life supposed to be about loving others?
And I have to really check myself because it could just as easily been me, my family, my wife, my son that was born into poverty. But it's not, we're the blessed ones, the fortunate ones. So what am I really doing to help others who are less fortunate? I looked into the faces of children who could have been my own son, held them, loved them, and felt the love that they shared with me. Wouldn't it be a switch if the "poor" people of Swaziland and other countries came on a mission trip to America? To show us what true wealth and prosperity is…because it's not how many cars we have, or how much extra money we have in the bank. I saw pictures the kids colored that said God loves me, I love God. Yet they're born into extreme poverty. But they still sing God's praises. They could come to the states and teach us about caring for one another, being a good neighbor and serving God.
Okay, off my soap box now. I don't want to be one of those people who rail against the way things are because of a trip and then a week later goes back to business as usual. And let me tell you I've got business to tend to at home, from an increase in rent, to needing a new car, to taking care of a growing family who needs a father to provide for them. But I'm learning that I don't have to have the latest minivan or stress about buying a townhouse – not that those things aren't important, but I've seen what true suffering is and God can provide for us. As long as I've got Jesus, we'll be okay. It's interesting how I had to come halfway around the world to really get to know Jesus. I've spent more time with God on this trip than I have in the months leading up to it.
Hopefully it's something I'll continue to keep with me as I go back to lead my family. Hopefully I'll be able to continue keeping up with my sponsored child Bongiswa. Who I've grown close to in the span of one week. All it took was one week to fall in love…at the end of the trip before we left for the last time she said "bye father". I'm a dad of two now, my biological son, and my sweet adopted/sponsored daughter.
I am a blessed man indeed.

The late Jean-François Revel, of the French right, was outraged that the Iraqis did not turn out to greet their liberators with flowers. A few months after the invasion he wrote: "As in all Arab countries, the Iraqis demonstrate a generalised xenophobia, directed against all westerners… We are dealing with people who are incapable of governing themselves but who won't let anyone else do it" (8).
US leaders were unable to understand the reaction of Iraqis: their rejection, despite their hatred of Saddam Hussein, of colonialism, rooted in a painful history and the memory of the long British occupation. The White House didn't listen to Iraqis in 2003. Is it ready to listen now? Recent successes, however limited, have reduced domestic pressure on the Bush administration to withdraw troops, and have mollified international hostility. But this respite has not persuaded the outgoing president to change strategy; quite the contrary.
The UN mandate, finally granted to coalition (9) forces in 2004, a year after the invasion, expires next December. The White House does not seek to renew it, preferring to replace it with a bilateral agreement (negotiations with the Iraqi government are expected to end before the summer). There is confusion about the nature of this agreement and the Senate has insisted on its right to ratify it; but the administration claims that since it does not explicitly cover

The woman shot during the bank hostage situation in north Louisiana has died.
That's according to KALB-TV in Alexandria, which is reporting that a hospital spokesperson confirmed the death Thursday morning. Ledean McDaniel was shot on Tuesday at the Tensas State Bank branch in St. Joseph by 21-year-old Fuaed Abdo Ahmed, at the end of a 12-hour standoff with police.
Another bank employee, Jay Warbington, was shot and killed by Ahmed that night before police moved in and killed the gunman.
A third hostage, bank employee Patricia White, was released unharmed a few hours before the standoff came to an end.
Authorities say Ahmed was angry and believed his ex-girlfriend's family had been responsible for their breakup and for putting a device in his head.

Agriculture Information Bulletin No. (AIB744) 24 pp,
September 1998
Educating low-income women about the advantages of breastfeeding their babies increases the number who breastfeed. This report summarizes the results of four projects that focused primarily on promoting breastfeeding, which is considered to be the most healthful and beneficial feeding method for most infants. Research has shown that breastfeeding improves the general health, growth, and development of infants and significantly reduces the risk of several health problems both during early life and in later years. Lower income women have been less likely to breastfeed than higher income women. One step the USDA has taken to promote breastfeeding is the ES/WIC Nutrition Education Initiative. This combines the strengths of two nutrition programs for low-income families, the Cooperative Extension Systems Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and the Food and Nutrition Services Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. This report shows that breastfeeding education before delivery increases the initiation of breastfeeding among low-income women. The results also indicate that breastfeeding support soon after delivery increases the duration of breastfeeding.

A convicted thief is accused of stealing the very hidden cameras set up in order to catch him in action.
The Channel 4 I-Team had set up the hidden cameras after finding three women who filed police reports, saying they hired IGB Residential Cleaning Service through an online coupon on the website Living Social.
The women said after the company cleaned their houses, they noticed their fine jewelry was missing.
Gloria West, Danelle Walker and Aly Sands all said their valuable rings, necklaces and rare coins were stolen, but their costume jewelry was untouched.
"I almost feel like, I paid someone to come in here and steal my stuff," Walker said.
"It's a devastating thing. The items that I lost are things that I could never replace," West said.
In Sands' case, she hired IGB, and then realized all her fine jewelry, including a precious diamond necklace, were missing.
Sands was later told by police that the very next day after her diamond necklace went missing, the owner of the cleaning service, Zach Jones, sold a diamond at a nearby pawn shop.
"I felt betrayed, I felt violated," Sands said.
The women were told by investigators it would be almost impossible to prove that their jewelry was stolen, because none of it could be found. It could not be proven that the diamond pawned by Jones was in fact Sands'.
That's why the women contacted the Channel 4 I-Team to expose the problem.
We did some digging and found that Jones is a convicted thief out of Georgia.
So, the I-Team set up an apartment outfitted with five hidden cameras and hired IGB to come clean. We hid costume jewelry in drawers, boxes and in a closet.
We coordinated the cleaning with Ithaca Black-Jones, the owner's wife.
On Dec. 14, Ithaca and Zach Jones showed up to clean the apartment.
Our undercover producer greeted them, and said she would be back in 40 minutes to pay.
When we returned after 42 minutes, the Joneses were gone and so were three of our cameras.
The I-Team called police and filled out a police report.
We then started examining the video from the cameras he didn't discover.
While Ithaca Black-Jones stayed in the front of the apartment, Zach Jones can be seen on video walking into the bedroom, and a few minutes later, goes directly to where we hid a camera in a vent. He inspects the vent closely.
Our video showed Jones then begins to inspect the rings and necklaces we had hidden in drawers and boxes. Jones inspects the jewelry closely.
The victims from the other cleaning thefts told us that none of their costume jewelry was taken, just the valuable items. So we set out the costume jewelry just to see if he would inspect it to determine its value. He did not take any of our costume jewelry.
One of our hidden cameras was stashed inside a closet, right beside a bag of jewelry. On the video, you can see Jones pick up our bag and can hear him unzipping it and going through the jewelry.
Jones also blew his nose in one of the scarves we had left in the closet.
The Channel 4 I-Team also slowed down the undercover video, and in Jones' left hand, you can see he is holding one of our missing cameras.
It's also interesting to note that in the theft conviction from Georgia, Jones was charged with stealing a camcorder.
Weeks after our cameras were stolen, Zach Jones left the Channel 4 I-Team's chief investigative reporter Jeremy Finley this message.
"Jeremy, when you see this number pop up on your phone again, answer it. Answer the phone, and then we can talk. I think it's what you want to hear," Jones said in the message.
Friday at 6 p.m., you will see what Jones said when we asked him about all the thefts. He and his wife both deny stealing anything.
We also asked LivingSocial if they do criminal background checks on the companies they offer in coupons.
The back story to our investigation is just as interesting as the story itself. Watch it now to see what happened when we realized our cameras were stolen!

It was a game of human dominoes at Faith Chapel, and it was all for a great cause.
One hundred and 48 people came out to participate in the dominoe event for the opening act of Faith Hill's Phil Wickam concert.
Two-hundred and 50 mattresses will be donated to the Montana Rescue Mission women's, men's, and family shelter.
They raised money to donate them through Hope Fest, and private sponsors.
Organizers say it was a fun way to raise awareness, money, and beds for children and families in need.
Public Relations Coordinator for the Montana Rescue Mission, Sheila Cole said, "This is a years worth of planning with all the different people that have been in our committees, and it's here. Today is here, and it's going to happen and all of our guests from the mens shelter and the women's shelter... and the women and family shelter are here and that's one thing that we'd like to do is to include them."
The second part of Hope Fest will kick off with the bed race at 11 am.

Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
Just wondering if anyone has any plans for a homemade bed shapper. Im trying plasticulture and thought maybe someone had already came up with a bed shaper for a cub. (that is Cub without fast hitch). I was looking for one that I can make myself as cub specific implements are rare down in Oklahoma.
Tractors are like watermelons: the RED is good and you throw away the GREEN.
Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
Please forgive my ignorance What is a bed shaper?

Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
You could use two sets of disc hillers on the front to pile the soil, then a bar on th back gang to level the bed.
There are several examples on the net of Cubs laying plastic mulch.
Practice your Google-Fu.

Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
I was kinda wondering the same thing. Terminology is important as it can relate to so many things. Once I read the post I pretty much had an idea of what Lee meant, but when Mike posted it became clear.
Here is one method - it is labeled as the Hubbard Mulch Laying System which apparently is a home made system:
I still haven't figured out what they do with the plastic after.... How is it removed from the fields and what is done with it? Can it be reused/recycled or is it simply tossed in the land fill?

Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
Unless you are using a lot of plastic mulch, you remove it by hand after it is plowed loose.
Some of the large farmers use old roll balers to ball it up after the mulch lifter gets it on top of the ground.
There are re-cycling centers, but they are located near areas that use a lot of plastic mulch.

Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
I don't think there is a single right answer to your question. The general answer is that a Cub with a set of cultivators (the relatively common Cub-144) can probably be set up to do what you want. What sort of bed do you want to make? If you take a look at the Hubbard Mulch Laying video above, you can see that they already made a fairly narrow raised bed before laying the plastic. That was probably done with just a pair of disk hillers. Some people like to use a fairly wide, flat topped bed. That is a little more involved. You might do that with 2 pair of hillers (or by making 2 passes), possilby followed by some less aggressive tools to smooth the top. The smoothing step can be done with the rear section while the front does the main building of the bed. I haven't done much with raised beds, but have used potato hillers to make a bed for a double row of onions. The potato hillers give you a bed somewhat wider and flatter than you get from a single pair of disk hillers.
The bottom line is you need to decide just what sort of a bed you want then put together the right set of tools to make it. If you give us some more specifics on what shape bed you want, I'm sure you will get some more specific suggetions on how to get there.
Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
I was about to start on one of those myself today, until I ran into the issue I'm about to post about...
But basically I'm going for a wide flat bed, planning to use hilling discs at the front of a frame, with angled boards to direct dirt to flow towards the middle of the bed, in order to fill in the middle, with one board across the back, perpendicular to the bed, to smooth it all out.
Do a google image search for "lesche bed shaper" and you'll see the general mechanism. Maybe you already know this design.
The front with the hilling discs attaches solid to the 3-pt hitch, and the rest of the frame floats up+down on chains. Those disc flattener things at the rear are just to break clods, not related to shaping the bed in the first place. The important part is discs to raise soil and guides to spread it where you want it across the bed.
Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
I've been thinking of building one, putting my ideas together too, I like the way it works on the Cub, the way the plastic goes right under the tires. I like everything about it, including the watering tube, the only part I don't like is the plastic. I like to keep things more natural. Inevitably the plastic pieces end up blowing around at some point. But I guess it's a trade-off for the weed control and the water conservation.
Kind of reminds me of people who decide they're going to drink a lot of water and be healthy, but then end up buying (promoting the use of) all the little plastic bottles.

Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
Currently we only have about 3 acres in cultivation. with over 30 varieties of veggies. We have our cub with the wheels out wide it makes about a 44" bed.
We simply use the 144 with hillers. Makes a decent bed. Yes it's usually a little low in the middle but a quick raking can level that off. For finer beds, for direct seeding my wife runs the Husk tiller real shallow to make a fine seed bed. I think a 252 bar would give us more options especially in cultivating multiple rows per bed.
Here she is making a bed.
We decided to stay away from the black plastic. We plan on testing more winter kill cover crops as mulch and such.
We use lots of mulch and are ok with a modest amount of weeds depending on the veggies.
One problem we had last year is keeping the cub running, some electrical gremlins from the previous owner, so cultivating got a lil behind but here are our beds with cabbages.
So you can get by with a "shaper" if you need to get busy before its all figured out.
Hope this was helpful.
Re: Anyone have plans for a Bed Shaper?
I was wanting something that will make about a 2 ft wide raised bed and cover the plastic about 12 inches on each side (inall a 4 ft wide bed). More like a box shaper. The reason for the plastic is right now, Oklahoma is in the grip of a horrible drought and I want to use my water wisely. And that lesche bed shaper might be a good starting point. Im just not a fan of welding a lot then figuring out I missed a weak point. Thanks

Banana Raisin Bread Recipe
"Toasted slices of this moist banana bread are wonderful for breakfast," reports Jackie Kew of Grand Island, New York. "For a special treat, I sometimes substitute chocolate chips for half or all of the raisins," she adds.
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70° to 80°)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- In bread machine pan, place the first nine ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add raisins and walnuts. Yield: 1 loaf (2 pounds).
Editor's Note: We recommend you do not use a bread machine's time-delay feature for this recipe.

Excellent! Simple, moist, dense and just sweet enough. I was hesitant to make a yeast banana bread but I was pleasantly surprised. I will be making this on a regular basis! (I think French toast will be delicious with this bread, too!)

I can hardly believe there is no sugar in this, There is the honey of course but so small amount. I used raw honey. Great bread recipe!

This turns out great not using the bread machine too. Nice change from quick banana bread.

I was super pleased with this recipe. Most bread machine recipes I've tried are too heavy or too dry, but this loaf was just right. Nice texture and excellent flavor with the hint of cinnamon.

Picked up @ Bauer's this afternoon after an early dip out of work.
Pours a cloudy amber hue with a huge off-white head that sticks around for a while, leaving plenty of lacing. Aroma like a big spicy IPA; this was brewed about 7 months ago so it's got that familiar spicy/sweetness of hop-waned IPA. Even so this beer is smooth and balanced. Fruity and sappy hops still there. It's got a touch of that powdery yeast finish associated with some Belgian/Belgian-style brews. Carbonation level is great – makes for a crisp and clean finish. Wouldn't seek this out but if you see it go for it (plus I dig the label).

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a clear deep copper body with a lumpy light beige cream head that is thick with a quick carbonation.
S- The perfume esters hints blend with sweet toasted malt and a nice floral hops in the finish.
T- The dry malt hint leads to a full green unripe fruit hops with some spice hops that lead more to pine wood as it opens in the finish. There is a slight sweetness in the finish.
M- The medium mouthfeel has a tight fizz and no alcohol heat.
O- The nice IPA has a great aroma that doesn't translate to the flavor as much as I hoped. The sweetness in the finish compliments the hops in taste nicely.

Served in a wine glass, it pours a darker orange with a compact layer of white foam, that leaves nice sheets of lace in the glass when swirled. Lasting skim on the surface.
Hop aromas seem a little faded in the nose, causing me to wonder how old this is. Floral and dry, slight oxidation.
Ample bitterness, fairly dry and floral, vaguely resiny, aspirin bitterness in the aftertaste suggests grass clippings. Smooth dry and bitter feel. Overall ok, not my favorite, very bitter and floral forward taste and aroma.

A. It is like caramel sludge. Extremely thick, some hints of sediment, but it's tough to see. A huge foamy white head and good lacing.
S. It has a heavy weed hop scent.
T/M. It has something of a grape hoppiness to it. Smooth and medium to full bodied. There's a good caramel sweetness. Some banana. Grassy.
O. It's an interesting taste, yet kind of basic. Hard to explain. Quite good and worth a go.

Picked this up at my favorite beer store in Belgium, Dranken Geers. Collaboration brew between De La Senne, Jeff Bagby (Pizza Port) and Mike Rodriguez (Lost Abbey). Hazy orange-amber pour with two finger head with decent retention and lacing. The nose is huge and totally West Coast. Tons of resiny, piney, citrus hops, with a touch of tropical as well. The taste follows suit with hints of grapefruit, mango, resiny hops, pine, and enough sweet caramel malt to keep it somewhat balanced. The mouthfeel is slightly fizzy with a subtle creaminess. Great tangy bitter hop bite on the finish. This is definitely one of the top interpretations of a West Coast IPA I've had from a European brewer. I guess it helped that it was aided by some top notch California talent!

Recommended by the local beer store. Probably would have overlooked it for quite sometime if they didn't.
A- Bottle poured into a tulip glass. The beer comes out a dark orange color and is murky, clearly unfiltered. A nice, one-finger head forms with big foamy bubbles that are often seen in Belgian ales. Retention is decent and a thick, bubbly ring leaves nice patches of lace.
S- I would like to know more about this beer but it seems to have a Belgian yeast strain, or at least not your average clean American Ale Yeast. Could be the hop choices. Hop forward with notes of grass, spices, citrus and apricot. Pretty complex for an IPA with hints of caramel, apples, peppercorn, bread and grains.
T- I wish I knew what yeast strain was used here because I get notes similar to Belgian strains but they could also come from certain hops. Anyways, this hop profile lends a big spicy, floral and herbal forward array of flavors with some citrus and fruit behind it all. Other things I notice are hints of peppercorn, caramel sweets, cracked grains and apple.
MF- Foamy and bubbly on the palate with a medium level of carbonation, just one that bubbles up easily. Creamy but not thick and super smooth. A nice level of bitterness in the finish.
Not your run-of-the-mill citrus bomb IPA but still quite good. Spicy and floral hop profile that still shines and keeps this beer really interesting. A good recommendation indeed.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light brown color, with a large off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick but spotty lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains caramelized malts, earthy hops and some citrus.
T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of caramel and some citrus. Then a hearty malt character comes in. The hops presence is there but seems quite subdued; however it creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly hoppy.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, decent kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to drink for a while.

Large, four-finger head. Initially leaves some chunky lace on the glass. The liquid is orange-light amber and quite cloudy.
Wonderful blend of pale malt and fresh floral aroma hops. A touch of yeast, too.
Very bitter right from the initial sip. The swallow actually features some interesting shifts--first, I notice a lot of yeast, like a home brew. Second, there's plenty of alcohol warmth in the aftertaste. But the bitterness never recedes. Neutral body with an elevated carbonation level.

A- Cloudy orange with no sediment deposits. Thin head with fine lacing.
S- Citrus/tangerine with some pine and tropical notes.
T- Crispy but mellow hop bite not to stringent. Well balanced with a light dry malt back.
M- Hop tinge off the front of the tongue, which fades to a back of throat spicy tingle.
O- Well done IPA that resembles the west coast style. The bottle says that the collabo was brewed on May 2012, however it just showed up today at one of my local bottle shops. I tend to stay away from IPA's that are 4 months old from Belgium, however I was very curious to see how Bagby influenced this one. I would say this was an overall success, and would buy again.

Cloudy amber, good foamy head with ample lacing. Smells of hearty malt and pine and citrus hops. Tastes intense of pine and citrus. Somewhat harsh on the palate. Creamy mouthfeel. Definitely a west coast style beer, unusual for a Belgian. The collaboraters suggest why.

A cellar temperature 330ml bottle is poured into my Ebenezer's 6th Annual Belgian Festival glass (it's kind of a conical flute shape).
The beer has a golden color, with some orange highlights. It is very clear, so I can see plenty of rising carbonation bubbles, as well as a full layer of bubbles on the bottom of the glass. The head is slightly off-white and fills the top third of my glass. It is made up of bubbles that are a similar size to what is suspended in the liquid. I usually expect IPAs to be more orange than this beer, but since it is brewed in Belgium, I like that it looks kind of like a tripel.
The hop aroma of this beer is very strong. I could smell citrus hops as soon as I began pouring. Placing my nose closer to the glass reveals a full aroma of citrus hops.
This beer doesn't have a "knock your socks off" level of bitterness, but it is very well hopped. Bitterness can be tasted throughout. Citrus hops can be tasted at first. As I swallow a more resiny hop flavor emerges. It lingers on, along with a touch of alcohol. The malt flavors aren't all that sweet, but do provide a good pale malt base.
The beer has a medium body with plenty of carbonation. The coating is pretty substantial and has some good hop flavors.
I like this beer. I don't think many drinkers could tell it wasn't brewed on the West Coast. Fans of American IPAs should keep an eye out for this beer.

3.44/5 rDev -13.8%
Pours rather dark and muddy for an IPA... belgian or not. Dark muddy amber, decent off white head.
Nose isn't bad, but it seems entirely lacking in any sharp notes... it's all sweet. Fruity notes, esters and such. Not bad, but rather lacking in dimension or depth.
Flavor kinda falls flat. Hop character is there, but muddled... some fruity citric bits, some spicy bits... but not enough of either to really develop an "ipa-worthy" hop character. Estery sweetness comes though as well. There's a bit of spicy bitterness on the back end.
Average on the mouhtfeel... a good bit of carbonation, clean finish.
Overall... usually a huge fan of hoppy pale offerings from De La Senne, but this one has to be the weakest of the bunch. Kinda wish I HAD gotten that bottle of Taras Boulba... this one's slightly above average, but that's about it.

Pours out a very nice, hazy, burned orange. Huge head, ultra sticky lace, beautiful beer.
The smell, grapefruit, kumquat, floral hops, pale malts and a hint of marshmallow(?). Interesting.
A wide range of citric fruits start this off both sweet and bitter. Grass and floral hops follow with bready pale malts to finish it off. So smooth going down.
Loved this IPA. Great collaboration.

Young's Jahlil Okafor reaches up to slam against Powerhouse. | Patrick Gleason~For Sun-Times Media
Young senior Jahlil Okafor did not notice the signs, even though they were posted on every door to the Homan Park gymnasium where Power House plays its home games.
"No food or drink. No hats. No dunking."
Okafor flew all over the gym, dunking 10 times and finishing with 21 points and seven rebounds. He put the show on in front of Ohio State's entire coaching staff. Buckeyes head coach Thad Matta even brought along Jared Sullinger. Ohio State is putting the full court press on Okafor, who had Illinois coach John Groce and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski on hand to see him play Friday.
The Dolphins impressed in their first outing as the top-ranked team, knocking off Power House 103-46 Monday.
Okafor said Young isn't taking the top ranking too seriously.
"In our minds Simeon is still number one," Okafor said. "They are the three time state champs, so they are on top until someone takes it from them."
Young (4-0, 3-0 Red West) jumped out to a 32-2 first quarter lead and never looked back. LJ Peak scored 18 and Miles Reynolds added 14. Paul White scored 14 and grabbed nine rebounds.
Senior Elliott Cole, one of the city's rising stars, scored 24 to lead the Panthers (3-9, 0-3).

Grinders are designed to grind different kinds of products. Grinders are used to reduce the size of a product or material to facilitate in the subsequent processing of that product. Grinders are used in a wide array of industries and are adapted to the product being grinded. Meat grinders take in fresh or frozen meats or poultry and reduce it down to size using a cutting and compression screw in a fluted barrel.
As-Is: We cycle and video each machine so you can see it running. We believe so soundly in our equipment that if it is not everything you thought it would be, the machine may be returned in like condition within 14 days of shipment, with freight and crating prepaid, for a full refund of the equipment price.
Customized: Frain is the largest redeployment shop in North America with thousands of successful projects completed. Your machine is inspected by some of the best technicians in the industry for worn and damaged parts. The machine is then customized specifically for your project. Finally, we provide a factory acceptance test so that you can see the machine running your product. Start up and training is also available at your facility. Customized machines come with a 6 month warranty for all replaced parts.
Frain is the only source for used equipment where every machine is guaranteed to be in running condition. We cycle, evaluate, upgrade, and video each one of our machines so you can see exactly what you're buying.
With THOUSANDS of machines in stock and ready to ship, we'll help you select the perfect machine for your project.
Let our expert engineers match you with the perfect machine for the job. Answer a couple questions to get started:
Price is always a very important part of any project. After watching numerous projects fail because they purchases AS-IS machines that ultimately cost more time and money than the project allowed for, Rich Frain decided to offer the "Successful Project Guarantee."
This means we'll guarantee the condition and readiness of any machine, saving you time AND money.
Because Frain has so many machines, we can also rent any machine.

Tyrann Mathieu, better known as the Honey Badger, is having a hard time finding another football team to play for.
Mathieu was thrown off of the LSU Tigers last week after reportedly failing multiple drug tests. However, Mathieu is still eligible to play college football at the FBS level this season.
According to Travis Downey, Jackson State was denied permission to speak with Mathieu by LSU. In the same vein, the school has also not granted Southern access to Mathieu, per Mike McCall.
The Heisman Trophy finalist reportedly was looking for another opportunity at playing football next year with LSU, but that has been denied, reports ClarionLedger.com.
"He's permanently ineligible to play football at LSU," said Bo Bahnsen, LSU's senior associate athletic director for NCAA compliance. "That's definite. That's what was said Friday."
Head coach Les Miles reiterated that sentiment in his comments.
"Yeah, he will not be back," Miles said. "Things are spelled out that we can do. I can only tell you that we extended ourselves personally and professionally. We've extended this to the full length of the policy."
For more on Tyronn Mathieu and LSU football, please be sure to check out our blog And The Valley Shook along with SBNation.com.
