With Bayern Munich on 15 points and Manchester City on 12, the only way this match would be relevant would be if the visitors got a comprehensive win. Considering the hosts scored within the first five minutes, it seemed like much of the match would, in fact, be irrelevant. However, City did their best to come back in the second half, getting to within a goal of the top spot. But in the end, Bayern Munich went on to take the top spot in Group D while Manchester City will face tougher competition in the next round.

The hosts' first goal revealed just how ill prepared the City defense was to take on Germany's treble-winning side. A long ball from Dante sailed across the pitch and Thomas Müller met it perfectly. Müller made quick work of Aleksandar Kolarov and then had no trouble putting the ball past Joe Hart.
Barely five minutes later, Bayern doubled their lead. This time the goal came from a corner. Mario Mandzukić was left totally unmarked by the City defense and was able to easily slot on to Mario Götze, whose shot caused a comical split from Hart and Bayern's second goal.
However, Manchester City were able to recover, and by about 20 minutes in, started looking like a side worthy of moving on to the next phase of the Champions League. Before 30 minutes were out, City had pulled one back. James Milner, lurking on the left side of the area, sent over a smart header for David Silva, who shot on past Manuel Neuer.
Then came the second half -- and the visitors decided to make a real game of it. The ref called what many might consider a harsh penalty, barely nudging Milner, who crashed down on the edge of the area. It was Kolarov that stepped up to take the kick, and his low shot defeated a diving Neuer.
So, let's just make this clear: Milner sent in a brilliant headed pass for the first goal. He went down to earn the penalty that led to the second. And for the third, well, he scored one of the most impressive goals of his career. Off the end of a cross from Jesús Navas, Milner sent his sharp shot in from the left side to the bottom right corner, a pinpoint shot that split through the Bayern defense.
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Dante, Thiago, Ribéry, Mandzukić (Shaqiri), Boateng, Götze (Martínez 55), Lahm, Müller, Alaba, Kroos
Manchester City: Hart, Kolarov, Lescott, Demichelis, Richards (Zabaleta 16), Fernandinho, Garcia, Milner, Silva (Negredo 73), Navas, Dzeko (Rodwell 88)

Could it be that people have at last gotten the message on the dangers of drunken driving?
Or is it just that they realize the penalties are so severe as to be not worth the risk?
It's hard to say, but, either way, law enforcement in Clinton County found more designated drivers than intoxicated ones during its annual campaign to get drunk drivers off the road over the Labor Day holiday period.
Stewart's donated coupons for free cups of coffee to be handed out as a reward for designated drivers, and police distributed 55 of them during traffic stops over the weekend.
Congratulations to Stewart's for participating in a positive way to such an important endeavor. And hearty thanks to the 55 recipients who were identified as responsible enough to drive drinkers and partiers around while staying sober themselves.
We would like to think that the results of this sweep are attributable to a heightened realization that driving while intoxicated or while ability is impaired by alcohol or drugs can have regrettable consequences for the driver but also for anyone else who happens to be walking or driving along the way.
But, as usual, these results could be forged out of fear of being caught. The penalties are significant.
You can be charged with driving while intoxicated if your blood alcohol content is 0.08 percent and you're 21 years old or older; 0.04 percent and you're driving a commercial vehicle; and 0.02 percent and you're younger than 21.
If you're younger than 21 and get caught with an illegal blood-alcohol content, the penalty can be suspended license for six months, a $125 civil penalty and $100 fee for suspension termination, as well as possible enrollment in the drinking driver program with associated costs. You may also have to install an ignition interlock device on your car.

FGCU Swimming and Diving Receives National Academic Honor
The FGCU Swimming and Diving Team was named an Academic All-American Swimming and Diving Team by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.
"It is great to have some individuals that are academic All-American's but to be named as an Academic All-American Team was really a thrill for us," said head coach Neil Studd. "This award was for last year when only two girls on the team were not freshman. For such a young team they are very mature and diligent in their studies. As a staff we are constantly talking to them about what it means to be a great student-athlete, remembering student comes first!"
The first year program made quite a splash when they were ranked nationally in the very first semester and ended the year 18th in the division one mid-major poll. The Eagles were the top Atlantic Sun team in the CCSA conference championships and narrowly missed the overall victory. "All of the pool success is great," Studd said. "But what matters for these young ladies' future are their academics, and I am very excited we made this prestigious list. It shows parents and future Eagles we really mean it when we say academics are important here at FGCU Swimming and Diving."
Dan Jimar, a volunteer assistant who also helps tutor athletes and run study hall, added, "We are working hard to create a successful environment in and out of the pool. We have many resources at FGCU to help all the students; they just need to ask for the help." Three members of the team got straight A's in the spring semester: Taylor Cooke, Viktoria Hyddmark and Captain Katie Oke. The team had a 3.18 Grade Point Average to earn the honor.
After a victory against in-state rival FAU, the team hopes to continue its success in the pool with their first home meet of the season against conference foe Campbell University this Saturday at the FGCU Aquatics center at 11am.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WDRB) -- How much respect is Kentucky getting in the Southeastern Conference? Despite having never seen him in a college game, league media voted Wildcats freshman Julius Randle the conference's preseason player of the year on Wednesday in balloting announced at SEC media days.And that's despite there being no consensus among NBA scouts visiting UK's practices that Randle is even the best player on his own team. Willie Cauley-Stein, Andrew Harrison and Dakari Johnson were second-team All-SEC picks."We've had 40 scouts visit practice in 10 days and they're all saying James Young is our best player, may be our best player in the country," Calipari said. "So I get them together and say, 'How do you all feel about that? Julius how do you feel? Andrew (Harrison)? Aaron (Harrison)? Marcus (Lee)? Dakari (Johnson)?' Because next week it may be someone else. Can you all deal with that? That's why you came to Kentucky. And that's why they all came together. It'll be interesting, but we have a good group."In fact, Randle is the league's preseason player of the year, but didn't even attend the event. Calipari brought sophomore Alex Poythress."I guess that just shows how much people respect Julius' game," Poythress said of the preseason vote.UK was the runaway choice to win the league. Again. Calipari said that with his depth, he doesn't expect there to be a dominant player in the traditional sense. But he made one interesting prediction for his team."I think on this team we'll have seven guys get 25 (points) or more in at least one game, maybe two," Calipari said. "They have that much ability, and that's the way I'll coach, that if somebody gets hot we'll keep giving it to him."Calipari said Randle is progressing, but that he's pushed the big man out of his comfort zone. Instead of parking him under the basket, Calipari has asked him to play on the outside more, challenging him to improve is overall game for the next level."We're asking him to do things he hasn't done before," Calipari said. ". . . He doesn't have the swagger because he's playing a way he hasn't played. But he's still pretty good. . . . He's a great kid. He cramped up yesterday in practice. I'm in my office, 10:30, 11 o'clock at night I look at in the gym and he's in there. The next day at 10:30 in the morning, sweating, and then we have media day and then we have practice and at the end he's cramping up. No kidding. Kid, stay off the court a little bit. But he's a driven young man, and he's done well."Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

GigaFast introduces industry leading nano and wireless line of HomePlug products at Computex 2012
Press release [Tuesday 5 June 2012]
GigaFast E Ltd, a manufacturer of HomePlug power line communications (PLC) equipment, has expanded its nano and WiFi product line for 2012. The only manufacturer focused on delivering OEM/ODM customers a full line of PLC products, GigaFast branched out in every HomePlug product segment with all new product offerings from every HomePlug chipset provider including Qualcomm Atheros, Broadcom, and Sigma.
For the 2012 Computex GigaFast is unveiling a new PN (Powerline nano) line of HomePlug pass-through products. The product line features an all new design focusing on a sleeker industry leading nano-size housings, strong visual appeal, and better pricing. The PN product line includes the world's smallest pass-through designs using 200Mbps and 500Mbps HomePlug chipsets from Broadcom and Qualcomm Atheros.
Pass through bridges are commonly used in the delivery of IPTV services by providing access to the home router from the TV. HomePlug technology is preferred over other solutions because of its robustness in the home. GigaFast's PN928-EPg (200Mbps) and PN958-EP2 (500Mbps) pass thru adapters are equipped with a filtered power socket, preventing the loss of an electrical outlet. The smaller size prevents the pass through bridge from blocking surrounding sockets. Utilizing the newest chipsets from Broadcom (BCM60321) and Qualcomm Atheros (AR7420), GigaFast's new PN line of pass through bridge guarantees the highest speed connectivity HomePlug AV has to offer. Both the PN928-EPg and PN958-EP2 are available today in world wide voltages and plugs.
In addition to improvements on pass thru adapters, GigaFast has been working on a new line of HomePlug AV to Wireless products. The latest product featured is GigaFast's PS827-APg. The solution combines Broadcom's 200Mbps HomePlug AV with their Wireless chipsets creating a unified HomePlug AV to Wireless experience.
The PS827-APg will create a HomePlug AV network backbone, extending wireless coverage in a home. In addition to using HomePlug AV as a backbone, the PS827-APg will also be able to bridge via wireless to areas in the home where HomePlug coverage is weaker. The PS827-APg is a giant step forward in GigaFast's continuing commitment to provide connectivity without the hassle of installing wires.

The United States could go off the Fiscal Cliff on New Years Eve. If that happens, wealth management expert James Studinger has a few tips on how you can lessen your financial risk.
1) Gather your receipts - be more diligent than ever throughout the year. It's not a project that we look forward to, but capturing all your available tax deductions could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
2) Get a system of recording your deductible expenses early and keep good records throughout the year.
3) Ask your accountant during your tax meetings for ideas on items you could deduct for the tax year 2013 to be sure that you don't miss any opportunities.
4) Make a Roth contribution - If you waver between a Roth and a deductible IRA contribution, you might want to consider a Roth for 2012. You have until tax filing (April 2013) to contribute, and it could prove more valuable to you if tax rates go up in the future.
5) Build your own escrow - by paying real estate taxes on your own, you can decide to make the payment in the current or next tax year. This will help later in 2013 when its clearer what the tax rates will be for both 2013 and 2014.
6) Reduce reliance on fixed income sources - The trend has been for companies and governments to limit their future legacy expenses. Prepare by building investment reserves and reducing your overhead. See if you can make it to retirement debt free.
James has also written a book call Wealth is a Choice.

"Remember Emad" hacker group claims it has taken control of an Israeli server • The group published lists of passwords for Facebook pages, credit card numbers and email addresses belonging to Israelis.
A hacker group, apparently from an Arab country or countries, claimed on Wednesday that it had breached the Israeli WebGate company's server and gleaned information stored in its Web pages. The hacking comes six months after a Saudi-based hacker group published the credit card numbers and personal details of what it claimed were more than 400,000 Israelis on the Internet. Israeli credit card companies later said the number was closer to 15,000.
The new group said it would publish the information it gathered in stages, and has already released lists containing personal information, Facebook passwords, images of checks and credit card numbers belonging to thousands of Israelis.
The group published its intentions and allegedly hacked information on a Web page titled "Remember Emad," an apparent reference to Imad Mughniyeh, believed to have been Hezbollah's chief of intelligence and security and the mastermind of some of the organization's deadliest attacks on U.S. and Israeli targets. Mughniyeh was killed in 2008 in a car bombing in Damascus, which Hezbollah insists was caused by Israel. The Shiite terrorist group has repeatedly vowed to avenge his death.
Hackers wrote on the page: "WebGate is considered the 10th biggest Israeli data center. It hosts more than 6,000 Israeli domains and subdomains. Today we are going to publish the first part of its data. We have terabytes of data from WebGate, but uploading the whole chunk of data on our servers will take time, so we decided to publish them gradually."
The data published on Wednesday included an alleged list of a thousand user names, passwords and email addresses of Israel Broadcasting Authority forum members. A list of credit card numbers belonging to Israelis was also released, although some of the cards were known to have expired.
The hackers also claimed to have breached the page of the Presidential Conference, sponsored by President Shimon Peres, and revealed personal details about the WebGate administrator. "This Russian-born guy is named Gershon Alvais. He is the admin of WebGate data center, and currently lives in Israel and has two children," they wrote.
The group uploaded an image of what they claimed was the WebGate administrator's identification card, a photo of the man with his two daughters and his Facebook user name and password.
A check conducted by Israel Hayom with large banks in the country revealed that the hackers' claims were unsubstantiated. "There was no breach of our secured databases," a senior bank official said.
A statement by the Bank of Israel on Wednesday said the bank was not aware of any theft of credit card details by any hacker using a name attributed to Mughniyeh. Senior bank officials called the claimed massive thefts "nonsense," and pointed out that bank representatives had not been asked to comment on the matter before a report on the incident by Channel 10.
"We are talking about only 30 valid Leumi Cards," a Leumi Card spokesman said. "The company's data security personnel quickly identified the files and immediately blocked access to the cards. The company stresses that no damage was caused to any of our clients, who are fully insured in any case. The company will contact those whose cards have been compromised and replace the cards with new ones."
A spokesman for Isracard said: "A file containing 1,500 data entries was published, 49 of which were identified as valid information of credit cards belonging to Isracard clients. The cards were immediately blocked and a message will be sent to the owners of the cards on Thursday."
A Cal (Israel Credit Cards) spokesman said: "A check that we did revealed that in files published by the hacker details of only 18 of our credit cards were exposed. The credit cards were blocked immediately and new cards will be delivered to our clients. The company will contact the relevant clients on Thursday."
Gershon Alvais and other WebGate personnel were not available for comment on Wednesday, and Israel Broadcasting Authority representatives did not comment on the report.
The cyberwar between Arab and Israeli hackers erupted in January when a Saudi hacker calling himself "0xOmar" leaked credit card details of Israelis. An Israeli hacker calling himself "0xOmer" retaliated by exposing the credit card information of hundreds of Saudi citizens, sparking a tit-for-tat exchange in the days and weeks that followed.
According to a Global Cyber Defense Report by McAfee and Security & Defense Agenda published in January, Israel, Finland and Sweden are the most cyberwar-ready nations in the world.
Israel, despite its robust rating, is allegedly the subject of 1,000 attempted hackings per minute, and has seen the websites of its major banks, newspapers and airlines temporarily put out of action by outside hackings.
For Israel, the mark of success in cyber-readiness is not the number of attempted attacks, but their damage. Isaac Ben-Israel, a senior security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, praised the nation's security infrastructure in January, saying, "The hacktivist group Anonymous carries out lots of attacks but they don't cause much damage. The real threat is from states and major crime organizations."

Nervous MovementYou're a dime a dozen in a sea of billions.
Individuality has no significance in numbers so vast.
And while this fact makes looking forward hard
we can't keep living in the past.
You're a nervous movement in a freeze frame scene.
Steady hands won't help hold up such a fragile act.
And while you take your time keeping character
you fake what you can't take back.
With nothing more than a thought we form our actions
and this is where we extinguish the lie they tried to invent.
The lie that we painted our lives without passion
well conclusions are useless with no attempt to commence.
You're a song I can't name stuck in my head.
I've listened to you before and probably will again.
And while I can hum the melody all day long waiting
for it to hit me I still won't know where you've been.
You're a gust that has never changed direction.
Nothing can touch you you're only felt as you brush skin.
And while you can't be stopped nothing lasts
nothing escapes time not even the wind.
With nothin

WaPo's Eugene Robinson Joins Olbermann in Linking Giffords Shooting to Political Rhetoric
Appearing as a guest on Saturday's special edition of Countdown on MSNBC, Washington Post associate editor Eugene Robinson joined host Keith Olbermann in linking the violent attack on Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords to political rhetoric, presumably by conservatives, and suggested that such public figures must be careful to avoid inciting mentally disturbed individuals. Moments after noting comments by Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik complaining about violent rhetoric on radio and television, Olbermann brought aboard Robinson for further discussion.
While Olbermann at one pointed noted that "We don't know enough about the motives of the man they have in custody," he later posed, "I've never been convinced still that most of the people saying these things actually want to see people shot. What, though, does that matter at this point if people are being shot? How straight a line does it have to be from the one to the other?"
Robinson asserted that "intent doesn't obviate the crime," and linked political rhetoric to violence by the mentally ill with guns:
Well, I think this is a case in which intent doesn't obviate the crime. No, I think most of these people who say these violent sounding things about how evil your government is and what it's doing to you and who quote Thomas Jefferson about democracy needing to be watered by the blood of patriots and that sort of thing, I don't think they actually intend people to take this seriously, but it can and there are people who are unbalanced who have access to guns who do take it seriously, and we should know that by now.
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the special Saturday, January 8, edition of MSNBC's Countdown show:
KEITH OLBERMANN: And then the sheriff said something extraordinary. He blamed in some sense the events of the day on the rhetoric of those in the radio business and some in the television business and said that it may be free speech, but it does not come without consequences.
OLBERMANN: Let me turn now to Gene Robinson, MSNBC political analyst and associate editor and Pulitzer prize-winning columnist of the Washington Post. Gene, good evening.
EUGENE ROBINSON: Good evening, Keith, on a very shocking and sad day.
OLBERMANN: And extraordinary one. Threats of violence against a member of Congress, that's nothing new. As the sheriff said, everybody in public office seems to be getting one a day now. Rarely in U.S. history has it gotten to this level of violence. This is only the sixth shooting of a sitting Congressperson. What are we seeing here tonight, Gene?
EUGENE ROBINSON, WASHINGTON POST: I think this is just extraordinary. Keith, you point to the quote from Sheriff Dupnik that I thought was just extraordinary. He said, I'm not aware of any public officials who are not receiving threats. Stand back from that for a minute and think about it for a minute. That is an extraordinary state of affairs that, to run for public office and to win public office, is to have your life threatened. That is the condition that you sign up for when you run for Congress. That's extraordinary, and that it takes something like what happened today to make us stop and say that is unacceptable. If that's the case, then shame on me, shame on all of us, and I mean all Americans, for having to be shocked back to that realization by tragic events like those we saw today in Tucson.
OLBERMANN: This is something, while she was still Speaker, that Nancy Pelosi warned about. September of 2009, the climate in this country was like it was in the late '70s in San Francisco when, as you and I will recall and perhaps some of our viewers do not, the murder of Mayor George Moscone and the murder of councilman Harvey Milk, the first openly gay leader of San Francisco's local government on a tragic Monday night in 1978 by another member of the council. Others have likened this to the '60s civil rights era. We don't know enough about the motives of the man they have in custody. There are hints around the edges that are very disturbing. Can you assess where we are in this era of politics?
ROBINSON: Look, first of all, I think we should take note of the fact that it is almost invariably the mentally disturbed or upset who are most susceptible to vitriolic political rhetoric and who take it seriously. Who might, for example, and I say might, we are not, we have no idea that this happened, but who might look at cross hairs on a map and take that seriously. It's not people who are on an even keel who believe that. It's people who are disturbed. So it's not at all surprising that some of what we see from the suspect is, sounds kind of deranged. Now, you and I do remember a period in the '60s and '70s where in general the political violence and the threat of political violence and violent political rhetoric came mostly from the left. And actually the Milk and Moscone murders in San Francisco, I happened to be in San Francisco at the time working for the San Francisco Chronicle. That was kind of anomalous, and certainly in the years before that it was a time when Bill Ayers was relevant and dangerous, a time when there was an actual Black Panther Party as opposed to an imaginary New Black Panther Party. But today I think we can say incontrovertibly that violent political rhetoric and the threat of political violence comes exclusively from the right. And so that's the kind of apocalyptic rhetoric, anti-government, take it back, protect your guns, and that I think is what some people, unfortunately, are susceptible to.
OLBERMANN: I can't and have never come close to believing that any of the people who put that rhetoric out there, with the exception of the real, the fringe ones who the government has done both under this administration and to its credit under the Republican administrations of Mr. Bush and the previous President Bush and even President Reagan, I thought they'd all done good jobs taking care of the extreme rhetoric, the ones that are clearly incitements to, you know, attack an individual, the clear straight-line provocations. But I've never been convinced that the other people who say these things, whether they're in politics, whether they're in broadcasting, and it was extraordinary to hear the sheriff talk, specifically call out people in radio and some people in television. I don't think there's any question about who he was talking to, and talking about Arizona becoming the Mecca of prejudice and bigotry. I've never been convinced still that most of the people saying these things actually want to see people shot. What, though, does that matter at this point if people are being shot? How straight a line does it have to be from the one to the other?
ROBINSON: Well, I think this is a case in which intent doesn't obviate the crime. No, I think most of these people who say these violent sounding things about how evil your government is and what it's doing to you and who quote Thomas Jefferson about democracy needing to be watered by the blood of patriots and that sort of thing, I don't think they actually intend people to take this seriously, but it can and there are people who are unbalanced who have access to guns who do take it seriously, and we should know that by now. And so we should, frankly, temper our rhetoric, all of us, to take into account the fact that we're not supposed to have this sort of hatred in us for a different political view. We can argue and we can argue vociferously and strenuously and filibuster and everything else, but there are people out there who do take it seriously, and we see it again and again, and we don't seem to learn that lesson.
OLBERMANN: What do we do about it apart from appealing to the better angels of people who speak that way and their nature?
ROBINSON: What do we do about it? Well, it starts, I think, with each of us, and again, I'm speaking very broadly about not just about those of us who either write columns or talk on television or have loud voices but also people who go to town hall meetings and people who talk to their neighbors about politics and whatever. It should, we should all take a look in a mirror, and we should think about what Sheriff Dupnik said, which is, you know, vitriol, it may be free speech, but words do have consequences. They do have consequences. And we should reflect on that. Beyond that, you can't legislate. I think we have to legislate for ourselves morally.

"a time when there was an actual Black Panther Party as opposed to an imaginary New Black Panther Party."
Those thugs at the polling place were mirages. And with all the examples of violent imagery used by the left is chronicled, Olbermann said any violence as a result of that from the left is "mild" and "inadvertent".
You know, harmless violence. When they have a "fantasy assassination video" of President Bush, they didn't really mean it.

Of course, George was implying shouldn't Rush Limbaugh and Bill OReilly and Glenn Beck promise to be good from now on, too? After he as much as stated the Republican Congress should fold their agenda in the spirit of harmony.

The Left has been looking for a hook on the Tea Parties for many months. That's why they laid out their marker early, warning about the "consequences" of conservative speech and Tea PArty themes: They've been planning (some even hoping) for a tragic event to capitalize on.
I expect that many are celebrating this event because they think it provides leverage they hadn't had before. Note how they focus on the "climate" of political discourse rather than the killer himself. They'll continue to demonize the Tea Parties hoping to draw supporters away.
All this before the motives of the killer remain unknown.

Robinson is a black racist that has no legitimate right to pontificate on any topic involving America or Americans.
He has irrefutably proven time & time again that he does not consider himself to be an American that just happens to be black, but rather as a black man who has the misfortune of living in white America.
He delusional hatred toward people not of color is on par with that of the Ass Clown that inhabits our White House and must be reputiated by all real Americans no matter the color of ones skin.

On tap at the Blind Tiger in New York City.
Appearance: Looks like mango juice with a small but very creamy nitro-like head that was very persistent.
Smell: No matter how many times I smelled it, I could not detect any aroma.
Taste: Almost no taste. Whatever tastes that were there were very faint. Slight peach flavor and grassy flavor. Very slight bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Slightly syrupy but also very watery. No carbonation.
Drinkability: No bad flavors or strong alcohol flavor but the watery texture was annoying.
Comments: I was really looking forward to this beacuse of the idea of having an ingredient from every continent. Disappointing.

Pours a deep hazy orange with a huge blooming fluffy head that leaves a nice amount of lacing,aroma of honey comes thru and some sweet malt.Taste is fresh and lightly sweet I pick up a hint of the ginger in the finish also some light medicinal notes.I like this brew fresh tasting bursting with flavors.I see I like it more than most.

Reviewed from notes on 7/4/10.
A: Golden-amber color. The short head disappears quickly. A small film shaped like Casper the Friendly Ghost resides on top of the beer. I do not see any lacing of which to speak.
S: Ginger. Some nice sweet malts are present, too, but I get mostly ginger spice in my nostrils.
T: This reminds me of alcoholic Vernors. The ginger is very prevalent, although there is a fertile soil flavor in the middle of each sip and a decent bitter finish.
M: Pretty thin on the entirety, with a little bit of a fuller kick at the end.
D: I am glad that I tried this one, but it seemed like a one-trick pony to me. I got a lot of ginger out of it and really not much else.

I was very excited to finally find this one...an ingredient for each contient is a very cool idea and I'm interested to see what Dogfish Head came up with here. The cork comes out with a nice pop and some wisps of white smoke. Pours a deep semi cloudy amber brown with a thin bubbly head. Mellow nose with yeasty tones, hints of candi sugar and a nice ginger spiciness. There's a light mixed fruitiness as well.
First sip has a nice sweet malt upfront with hints of tropical fruits. Big ginger spice flavor dominates. There's a nice yeasty character as well. I like the ginger....quite an intersting brew overall. A slight butterscotch flavor peeks out as the brew warms.
Mouthfeel is fairly smooth with a medium body...makes it very easy to drink...however a bit more body and carbonation wouldn't hurt. I'm putting this 750 down myself and it should be no problem. Kudos to DFH for putting out yet another unique experimental brew.

Pours a crystal clear light carmel. Little to no head, virtualy no lacing. Solid stream of bubbles coming up through the middle of the bottom of the glass.
Light smell, ginger in there. Citrus, is that grapefruit? Maybe some alcohol and hops, too tough to tell. Was expecting more.
Not much going on. Something fresh about the taste, crisp. Citrus, ginger, grapefruit, maybe some hops finish. Something different and bitter at the end.
Feels nice, nothing overt about it. Dare I call it boring. Most likely it needs to age a good bit more.
Not sure I would seek out this beer. Glad I tried it once, but not something I think I would search for. I do have another from this batch which will spend some time away from friends :)

A 750ml bottle, not corked but capped, served in a snifter. It was a clear orange color with a small white head and a little lacing. It had a spicy, yeasty aroma. Tasted like a Belgian, then some late spice (I guess the ginger) came through. A very smooth, drinkable beer. I'd call it a schizophrenic Belgian.

Like all good BA experiences, Pangaea's cap was popped over a good meal with good friends. This was an 07 bottle that I had hanging out in the beer cave for quite a while.
I paired it with Pork Belly Buns made out of David Chang's Momofuku cookbook (pretty much a Pork Advocate cookbook). The ginger in this beer along with its light body and Belgian yeasty sweetness made it an ideal accompaniment to the spicy, salty dinner. it left me fat and happy and ready to stroll into Martin Luther King day...

Caged and corked champagne bottle, and I allowed it to condition for a while before chilling. "This beer ages with the best of em." states the label, but I'm drinking this one fresh.
Pours a bright peachy amber with a massive 3-4 finger frothy foam head. Slight haze from the yeast. Excellent head retention and wispy tentacle stick to the glass. Soft fruity aroma with plenty of steel (smells like my wok), esters, alcohol, notes of peach, strawberry and bubblegum. Odd combo of aromas. Smooth mouthfeel, a bit creamy, full. Moderate carbonation with a brief seltzer-like fizz on the palate. Even malt sweetness of peaches with pears on the edge. Sugary sweetness in the middle, touch of floral honey. Plenty of defining ginger character, though not as spicy as I expected (like a can of warm ginger ale), followed by a berry / gum character (like when you've chewed some juicy berry gum until almost all of the flavor is gone). Yeah, berry. Maybe even some of that sweetness you get from roasted carrots or parsnips, too. Bone dry in the finish, with some residual ginger, but for the most part it's clean.
A wonderful beer with some interesting Saison / farmhouse ale similarities. Very quaffable and refreshing. Well worth a try.

This lightly-hued ale, complete with its frothy top, looks delicious. Skewed to the brown side relative to pale ale peers, the soda-ish head and DIPA-like lacing let this one look a step above the rest. CO2 bubbles rush to the surface even minutes after the pour. It appears like another well-crafted DFH production.
The smell is crystallized ginger, and the aforementioned bubblies let the nose nexus with mine. The Belgian yeast stays uncharacteristically in the background. Though perhaps both pale malts and even ginger are found all over the world, I can't help but wonder about the beer's name's origin. It smells like a malt beverage with ginger...and the carbonation makes that delightful.
As I savor the sip from my DFH snifter, I must acknowledge that the taste is more ordinary. The bubbles again predominate as I feel the liquid better than I taste it. Unfortunately, pale malts again disappoint me. Not even the Belgian yeasts are extraordinary. A ginger beer, however, is still cool in my book, and this is a cool beer.
The well-crafted beverage oozes all over taste sensories, as even post-swallow leaves my cheeks a-tingling. If only there were a little more substance to push around.... Nevertheless, it's a great take on a unique beer. It's novel enough to keep handy, and I know no other beverage I'd prefer paired with my sushi.

large bottle, caged and corked, without any freshness dating to be found. Almond in color, murky with a minimal off white head, very minimal lacing also observed. nose is sweat and raisiny. this is a strong, strange and differant concoction, for a change from DFH.... Too sweet for me to buy another bottle. Strangly out of balance.

Apricot in color with a very minimal head and lacing. The smell is of sweet malt and ginger. Again, the taste is much like the smell with predominant tastes of ginger and sweetness from the malt, the ginger gives a bit of a bite to the beer, found a taste of apricot in this as well as some hop bitterness, but it just didn't seem like everything fit. Light in body with a medium carbonation. I would recommend splitting up the bottle or having it as part of a group tasting. It was alright, but was a bit cloying.

The beer pours an orange-amber color with a white head. The aroma is full of bread with some ginger notes. There is also some fruit in the aroma but I can't put my finger on exactly what fruit it is. The flavor is similar. The predominant flavor I get is ginger, but there is also some sweetness from the bread and toffee malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Pretty good, but I was hoping the beer would be more complex.

25.6 oz Bottled sometime in 2007, but stamp is distorted. Crown cap, not cork. I purchased this one in late November, so it was bottled sometime before that, obviously.
Poured into GFH Snifter, Nice 1" layer of bubbly head that slowly subsided to about a 1/2". Reasonably clear Amberish-orange color... has nice effect when light hits it.
Smell is of ginger and light spice - very clean aroma. Taste is amazing. Ginger fills the palate, but other flavors make themselves known as the brew goes on. Slightly sweet, but very nice. I really like this beer. Maybe because I really enjoy ginger.
Really nice mouth feel, although bubbles are not apparent in glass, they greet the tongue with a pleasant burst.
The finish is smooth, but there is a slight aftertaste. Its not unpleasant, I just want some water. Obviously, you're not going to drink more than one of these in a session.

Champagne bottle, corked and caged. Hefty "pop" of the cork with a little vapor escaping behind it.
Very fizzy orangish color. All sorts of bubbly streams from the bottom and sides of the glass effervesce millions of tiny bubbles to the top of the beer. Very creamy head that's off-white in color and not only remained at two-finger thickness the entire time, but also laced the glass with chunky rings.
Nose has some ginger (who'da thunk it?) and some other yeast-citrus notes. Maybe a whiff of a grassy-earthen hop note as well.
Flavor is rather...bland. Almost like a hodge-posdge of flavors mixed together with no apparent direction. More of the ginger definitely noted, along with some estery fruit, cotton candy sweetness, spices. Finishes bubbly and dry, with just a whisper of fire from the ABV.
Nice body and fizzy/spritzy on the palate. Maybe I'm missing the gist of this beer, but I just didn't really care for it. Tough to finish the entire bottle.

Another aperitif from Dogfish head. I admire the innovation, but this just wasn't that good. Pours clear gold with a short white head. Aroma and flavor of ginger, as in LOTS of ginger. It was sake-like, possibly from the rice, but the ginger was overpowering.

750ml bottle poured into a dfh off-centered pint glass.
Pours a very clear light golden/brown with a nice bit fluffy white head and a lot of bubbles. Nose is very spicy, ginger and citrus are very present. Strong Belgian nose.
Taste is very spicy, lots of ginger and citrus as per the nose. It's a bit spicier than I like but it's what they were going for. No alcohol is present here so it's somewhat drinkable but 1 bottle is more than enough.

Pangaea begins on a strange note, the aroma wafting from the bottle smelling like an odd mixture of light beer, ginger, and soy sauce--in fact, I instantly felt like I was sitting at a sushi restaurant. The smell isn't necessarily bad, but it does contain a smoky vegetable note that, coming from a beer, is quite strange.
On the tongue, the presence of ginger is immediate, though thankfully not overwhelming. Instead, just enough crystallized ginger--think the flavor of ginger that comes with sushi--has been added to give the beer a sugar-and-sour tang. A good layer of toasted grains and brown sugars lies below the ginger, and hops provide a pine bitterness that helps balance out the sugar and ginger. The aftertaste is largely ginger, with hints of grain. Mouthfeel is medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is an interesting brew, and worth trying at least once. However, I suspect many will balk at the strong presence of ginger, and I have to admit that, after only a few sips, I find myself wanting a nice, thick stout in my other hand to help cleanse and refresh my palate.

Served in a balloon red wine glass, as the "directions" on the label suggest. Hazy apricot color with a foamy beige/orange head that settles slowly. Nose of ginger and honey, with hints of sweet apple. Flavor seems to start off with pear, a little doughey and yeasty, with some understated ginger, and a finish of orange peel. I must say though, that I'm picking up some band-aid in the lingering aftertaste. Spotty bits of lace dot the glass. Aftertaste morphs into a medicinal thing. Mouthfeel is tingly upfront, but smooths out in the finish. Interesting brew, but not sure if I'll pick it up again.

This is was interesting brew.
it poured straw yellow, and pale gold.
A small cream head.
Smelled of subtle ginger spice, crisp hops and clean spring water.
The taste was interesting, there was a peppery spice accompanied by the ginger spice. The beer was super crisp, and drinkable.
I got some notes of apricots, dried fruits, and grass...
The after taste is lingering.
This is a good beer.

Possibly the best game that the old Bioware produced.
They succeeded in introducing a beautiful and unique environment for RPG fans, different from the tested and tried western medieval setting.
No more Good vs Evil.
And all the sweet fighting stances!!!
Be sure to experiment with Combo's, if you find the battles too boring.
And after you have enjoyed the story once, you canread more play through in Grand Master mode, which is the real challenge.
When you find yourself playing as one of your companions (small mini-games), be sure to check out the log. It's hilarious.
I still hope for a Jade Empire II

Jade Empire is a magical journey to the far east, which was unfortunately underappreciated at the time of release.
While it isn't a story-heavyweight like the earlier Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Night stories from Bioware, this game finds a good balance between story and action.
Jade Empire has a unique setting (fantasy-asia with a side order of steampunk), interesting companionsread more and really cool martial arts fights. So if you like good RPGs and/or enjoy martial arts movies, get this game and play one yourself.

One of the most beatiful settings ever shown in an rpg.
The combat is a little monotonous at the end of the day, but overall it is a great game. Interesting story, awesome characters and many exotic places. If you like Kung Fu Movies and/or RPGs then Jade Empire is a must buy!
Great to see it on GoG.

Presented in a corked and caged 750 - one of the latest haul from a night's work at a local distributor. Typical presentation for Val de Sambre abbey ale; picture of abbey on front - monk on the back with serving suggestions.
A - The first glass poured surprisingly clear and as blonde as the name implies. Pours a pretty, white head but dissipates a little too quickly. It goes as if it had never been leaving no lace. After the first glass the clarity is all but gone as the yeast precipitates out like fine, white snow - all kinds of funky chunky going on.
S - A bit muted but typically belgian-y; candi sugar and some sweet, light malt notes. Also some noticeable fresh green apple and yeasty alcohol. A bit thin aside from the sweetness.
T - Again the candi sugar and sweet malt combination are right out front and - again - rather thin. A bit of chalky yeast and some fruity notes to complement. There's maybe just a hint of citrus and corn graininess. Finishes quick but leaves a little chalky yeast and a tiny amount of drying hoppiness.
M and D - This beer's saving grace is the smooth, tingly mouthfeel and easy drinkability and contained ABV. Yet something more is desired of today's Belgian beers before they can be considered out of the ordinary.

Cool to win this one at a Christmas party with the Carolina Brewmasters. Enjoyed with family the night before Easter. Poured a very nice golden color with slight frothy head that never disappeared. Nice fruity esters, can tell this is a Belgian right away. No alcohol noticeable and easy to consume. Looked like it was $10.49 for a 750 mL, which seemed overpriced but worth trying.

Poured a nice dark orange with a thick creamy head, some moderate lacing. Lots of carbonation bubbles running throughout.
The smell has a lot of yeast with banana and clove notes, very hefe like. Also a touch of tropical fruits.
Has a nice toasted malt body, lightly sweet fruit and yeasty spice coming through, with just a hint of floral bitterness in the finish. Very Smooth and Mellow with
Mouthfeel is silky smooth and very creamy, almost buttery.
Easy to drink, would make a great belgian session beer.

Bottle courtesy of fonefan: Poured a clear dorée color ale with a big bubbly head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of peppery yeast with notes of Belgian malt. Taste is a mix between Belgian malt with some sweetness and a very dominating peppery yeasty flavour. Body is fuller then average with low filtration and with some great carbonation.

The beer after its excavation from the 330ml brown bottle sets in my glass luminous gold color with a portly bright white head that is creamy in texture and after its demise the lace forms a thin sheet upon the glass. Nose is sweet malt, citrus like in its crispness also a hint of yeast; start is sweet with a nice malt presence, the top light. Finish has a light to moderate acidity and the hops sparing in their spiciness, very dry aftertaste that lingers on, a drinkable beer.

2.98/5 rDev -16.1%
A - Light golden orange with a slightly below average foamy, bubbly head. A bit below average retention leaving essentially no head.
S - Pretty fruity, citrus and a little golden fruit aroma. A touch of spice and a fair amount of yeast as well. Fairly malty and candi sweetness. Pretty sweet all together.
T - Fairly fruity flavor with citrus and golden fruit being strongest. A fair amount of spice with orange rind and clove with just a touch of coriander. Some yeast flavors as well.
M - Lighter body with a little below average carbonation. A little too light and watery also a fairly fluffy body.
D - A little out of balance with a bit too much fruity sweetness.
Notes: Not great, but decent. A little fruity. Pretty grainy for a Belgian. A touch on the sweet side. Not great, but if the price is right, it is alright.

BB 16-07-06. Nice head and clear pale golden beercolor. Nose is quiet lightly perfumed giving some malts, litle koreander, some lime and litle alcoholic. Overal quiet good and fresh nose. Taste is also dry, slightly grassy, koreander and light alcoholic. Quiet bitter but litle hanging bitterness. Good mouthfeel also but again litle light and watery tripel. For a tripel most certainly but OK at 6% ABV it can't have the strongness of a real tripel. Good carbonisation and easy drinkable enjoyable brew.

2.58/5 rDev -27.3%
750 ML poured into a tulip this beer forms a good size white head that falls to islands and leaves traces of ring lace. Carbonation is fine inside a golden body.
Similar to the Blond from this brewer. Some earthiness to it and generally lagerish with some spicey backside. Sweetness is faint, somewhat overpowerd by a sweet grain bill w/ a touch of belgian yeast.
Notes: One new offering to go from these guys I'm hoping for a comeback. GO BRUNE!!

3.65/5 rDev +2.8%
Beautiful foam on the coarsely bubbling amber brew. Lots of lacing in the Morte Subite globe. Surprisingly watery body, but the foam keeps exploding in the mouth.
Subtle toasty flavor is the initial flavor. A hint of apples. The yeasty taste creeps up to take over the beer. Not overly bitter, but there even seems to be a hint of hops. Extremely dry at the end. Woody with a mineral sensation. There is just not much flavor going on, it's very different from many of the "Abbey" beers. This is more of a lager taste with that Belgian yeast, but it has a pleasant sudsy mouthfeel and an appealing shade of tart fruitiness.
The long lasting foam is a nice feature. Attractive to the end and highly drinkable. From the 33 cl bottle brought back from Belgium.

Presentation: 750ml brown glass bottle sealed, corked with a black single strapped wire cage that eats deep into the cork. The thumbed cork has a No. 144302 on it. Main and neck labels are gold edged with a cream colored background; the main obverse label has a picture of the partially ruined Abbaye dAulne which sits next to the newly installed Brewery. Described as Abbaye dAulne Blonde des Pères a described as a Blond Ale. Listed at 6% Alc./Vol. and recommended to be served slowly at 42° 46° F. Best Before End 26/09/07 G 09:34.
Appearance: Firmly entrenched cork was removed with a very loud explosive thrupp which was accompanied by a fine rising grey gunsmoke. My tall Maredsous glass was a good choice; it enabled me to control the pour to allow the fast rising head to stay in the glass. Looked a little cloudy at first, exhibiting an almost weak Wheat beer presence but this soon cleared up to reveal a thin pellucid golden body. Soft white head rises very quickly on each pour. Carbonation seems a little below par but the streamers retain some life nonetheless. No lacing here, it all slides back down into the base beer.
Nose: Lots of pale malts with a sweet aspect. Balancing hop dryness takes the reigns in the finish. Candy sugar and a yeast laden clove tinge add some complexity. It never seems to get going, but it always projects a decent enough aura.
Taste: Pale malts start with some biscuit dryness. Zesty hops have a lemon rind tingle. Earthy base with a dry yeast and wet straw middle. Clean and easy going finish with some cloves. Nothing special but it certainly exhibits an unfettered profile. Fresh tasting with a healthy sparkling demeanor. Refreshing and uncomplicated yet simplistic.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation was a little low, but talcum soft with a thick woolly depth. Smooth and very clean though.
Drinkability: It is not that hard to drain the whole 750ml bottle, the lack of anything to detract from this brew portrays an aerodynamic Blond with a low radar cross-section. Bit of a quaffer.
Overall: Another nice brew from Abbaye dAulne. Fresh feel with a clean projection but this Blond is nothing special, yet it is hard to find fault with it. Nicely put together but not one of those brews that you would readily pick up again.

Poured from 750mL bottle into a tulip. This beer is quite a bit past its printed best-by date (9/26/07!), but we'll give 'er a shot anyway.
Appearance: light golden hue with just a touch of haze and plenty of effervescence. Head is two fingers of nice, frothy white foam. Works for me!
Smell: light malt aroma with some noble/earthy hop notes thrown in. It's also got a hint of age to it; not exactly skunked, but not really up to snuff, either.
Taste: nice and sweet, but not too sweet, malt. Complexity is low but the flavor is quite good indeed; it is very lightly fruity and very lightly grainy but most of all quite malty indeed. Clean is the best word I can think of for this middle-of-the-road but well-crafted brew.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body but a big creaminess from the carbonation. It's not a long-lasting creaminess, but it creates a good, filling mouthfeel while it lasts. Not bad.
Overall: the aroma is probably the only thing affected by this beer's age. The flavor and feel qualities are well-preserved and I think this is quite a tasty and reasonable BPA.

Pours a barely hazed gold that starts with a nice white head that falls to nothing. Nose is strong with yeast and just a touch of decaying apple skins. Slight clay character as well. Flavor is light besides the distinct yeasty edge to it. There isnt much else besides that going on here. It almost seems a bit too clean and one sided. On the end there is a bitter tone that I am not really appreciative of. Feel is decent. A fair amount of bubble on the tongue. But the overkill of flavor seems to influence everything here.
Overall a decent brew. Even and interesting enough to keep ones attention, but not really so interesting that it is worth going back to - or one to lament never being able to try.

This one pours from 750ML corked and single strapped cage bottle(best by 9/26/07) a cloudy straw colour with a very small head of foam(room temp) that surprised me. I thought there'd be a good head of foam and what I got shrank very quickly to a ring around the glassand there's little to no lacing. A few minutes later and there's no foam in my glass at all.
The smell has a good hoppy and spicy nose to it. I also get some clove and a bit of malt.
The taste is kind of hoppy up front with some yeastiness, clove and other spice backing it up. I can also taste some candy sugar. The finish ends up on somewhat of a funky side, which I normally like, and then it peters out and gets a bit on the watery side.
Hmm...For me, this is a pretty average Belgian Pale Ale and, quite frankly, one I'd not seek out again. Still...I'm glad I tried it and it's worth a go at least one time.

Pours clear at first, though cloudy later on. A dark golden hue with 1 1/2" of white foam capping it off. Good lace.
Smell is cardboard, apple, grape and wheat.
Taste is grapes, apple, malt and light hops.
Medium effervescence, medium body, slightly tart and crisp. A good beer only, nothing great. Too bad.

Pours cloudy amber with generous carbonation and a thick sticky head with sheets of lacing.
Aroma is yeasty and spicy, with subtle medicinal funk. Candy sugar, lemon zest, and citrus fruit.
Taste is sweet, and slightly grainy pale malt. Peppery spices compete with yeasty medicinal funk. Sweetness turns slightly sour in the finish. Lingering grassy hop. Flavor profile is lighter than expected.
Mouthfeel is light bodied.
Overall a mild sessionable Belgian. Worth a try. Certainly drinkable, but not memorable.

Sparkling dandelion yellow with a huge number of bubbles rushing upwards through a cloud of fine yeast that looks like light snow flurries. A pillowy, bleached white cap sits above the fray. The foam looks fairly sticky, but unfortunately, that isn't borne out by much glass coverage. A classic Belgianesque look.
The nose is a keeper as well. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that my standards for this style aren't quite as stringent as they are for BSPAs, but I consider this one to be solid in the aroma department. It's brightly noble hoppy, with shavings of lemon zest and a moderate amount of Belgian yeast clove-like spiciness.
The beer doesn't hold up quite as well on the palate. Its simplicity is less tolerable in the mouth than it was in the nose. It's still a fine ale, though, even if it strikes me as a beer that would go better with food than solo. I'm going to have a hard time sustaining interest over the course of the entire '750'. I think I'll save the second half for my roasted turkey dinner.
An adequate amount of pale malt holds down the bottom end, while contributing flavors of untoasted grain (in a good way) and a cursory amount of sweetness. Relatively more hops are present and provide grassy and floral flavors that I attribute to Saaz and its cousins. The yeastiness is on the modest end as well, which keeps the white pepper and clove spiciness from overwhelming the whole. Like I said, simple, straightforward... and hardly soul-stirring.
While the mouthfeel is light and airy as befits the style, it doesn't have that expansive light creaminess that I look for in my Belgian ales. Although there's nothing wrong with it per se, it doesn't reach out and grab me. Enough bubbles have survived to keep the beer from feeling flat. Still though, I wish that a few more were present now that I'm at mid-bottle.
Blonde des Peres is my first Brasserie Val de Sambre offering. It's a decent enough Belgian pale ale that could stand an infusion of depth and complexity. I'm pretty sure I have a few other bottles from this brewery lurking in my cellar. Here's hoping that they make the jump from good to very good. Great would be nice, but after tasting this one, that may be too much to hope for.

Apparently a rather rare find, snagged at Eagle River Liquors in Fulton, Illinois.
Belgians Blondes are a strange lot. If they were girls I'd say they were like the kinds that hung out in parking lots on Friday night. They go to some place in order to wait for something to happen, hoping someone will drop word of a party or a drag race or whatever. They spend hours doing their hair and makeup, before they go to the parking lot. They do a lot of preparation of their preparation, is what I'm saying. They go a long way getting ready for nothing.
And here we got a pour that seems to back that up. Lightly hazy gold with a solid white head. Looks like a pils, more than anything.
Smells of pils hop, pils malt, and lightly spicy Belgian yeast. Nothing exceptional, but tasty and solid.
Tastes just about like it smells, just about like a solid German Pils only with a more exciting yeast profile. Dry and lightly bitter, oddly refreshing. Nice, but not quite enough to warrant itself.
Again, I have spent Big Beer dollars on a solid but unexceptional small beer. Thanks, Belgian Blondes!
