It's the 27th annual M-E 72 Engineering Design Contest... which doesn't
sound very sexy.
It's not really.
Six teams of mechanical engineering students are going head to head.
Like other sports, the robots these teams designed don't just score, they also have to play defense.
Many teams like Cal Tech's "Cal-techies" had to make their robot, mostly by fabricating all the pieces by hand.
And this sport, like the other traditional one brings out the fans.
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking was among the spectators.
In the end, after a three hours of frenzied robotic warfare, it was team Robotics Anonymous that came out on top.

This writer predicted lots of goals on the basis of Gareth Bale going up against Daniel Sturridge and Jose Bosingwa, and Didier Drogba bullying William Gallas and Younes Kaboul. Instead, Ramires has played on the right of Chelsea's midfield, successfully neutralizing Gareth Bale. Harry Redknapp's tactics seem to consist of telling his attacking players to have free roles, or "F[redacted] Run About A Bit". For most of the first half, while attacking, they haven't had a right winger, and haven't threatened Petr Cech.
Chelsea haven't been better; the one moment of incident coming when Frank Lampard ran onto Juan Mata's throughball, but failed to control it and collided with Gallas in the penalty box. Martin Atkinson, sensibly, didn't give a penalty.
The passing from both teams has been dreadful, with final balls from Adebayor, Sturridge and Mata all lacking quality. The one time Spurs did get their final ball right, they should've scored. In the final seconds of the first half, Gareth Bale slipped Luka Modric in to the byline, who cut back for van der Vaart in the middle. With the whole goal open, the Dutchman shot straight at Petr Cech, and then Ashley Cole blocked the follow up, before Adebayor headed over. It was the most exciting part of a first half that has been tense and lacking in quality. Spurs have defended fairly well, as have Chelsea, but both teams will want an improvement in the second half.

As baby boomers jog toward the traditional retirement age, it's clear that age means something different than it did for their parents and grandparents.
You're about to meet a few people who are the rule and not the exception when it comes to getting older. They're discovering 60 is the new 40.
"My parents never exercised. If I compare myself to my parents when they were my age. They look so much older than we do," says Dana Siegel, and she's right. She is much younger than when her parents were 63.
When you consider that in 1950 the average age of someone going into a nursing home is 65 and today, it's 81. 60 could very well be the new 40.
'Sure it is!" And Dana adds, her generation isn't slowing down anytime soon. "We have a couple who have retired, and now are doing something else, my husband is an attorney he's thinking about retiring and becoming a professor."
And if you can believe it this breast cancer survivor and lung transplant recipient Dana also works regularly, volunteering for at least 3 different organizations and her church.
Leesa Wiesner is 70 years old, she's been scuba diving for 36 years, you'll find her volunteering her days feeding the sharks at the aquarium, that's when she's not traveling around the world with the other diving friends like Marjorie Templeton who is how old? "I'm over 60, I'm over 70 Regina."
And that's as far as Marjorie would let us go with that question. By day Marjorie is a truant officer and at night, a sixth degree master instructor.
"Also director of special education, also pre-school coordinator at Southgate public schools. I'm also owner of Tristate ATA black belt academy in Florence."
"I have always felt like, you don't look at age, as a time to stop," she said. Her advice to the 60 year olds who want a life that' just gets sweeter with age,
Live in the moment, never say can't, "Do things in moderation, work hard and play hard."
And your age will always be just a number.Feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com?subject=60new40?

This may be one of the few times an athlete can legitimately say "I gave 110 percent" or any other mathematically impossible number in reference to their effort. It is legit because in order to give more than 100 percent, you have to borrow from somewhere else. When you borrow something, you have to pay it back. Paying it back is never, ever fun.
What we're saying is that South Korean weightlifter Sa Jae-Hyouk definitely gave 100 percent in trying to snatch 357 pounds in the 2012 London Olympics. Then, he borrowed 10 percent or so from his right elbow. And then, if you are not squeamish, his elbow took back that 10 percent plus interest in a GIF you can watch after the jump.
Skip Bayless cannot WAIT to insult the character of this man's elbow. "TIM TEBOW'S ELBOW WOULD NEVER FADE IN THE CLUTCH LIKE THAT, STEPHEN! NEVER!"

SPOKANE, Wash. - Few people know college basketball like Jud Heathcote. He recruited Magic Johnson at Michigan State and won a national title in his 45 year college coaching career. Following his retirement he moved back to Spokane and became a season ticket holder with Gonzaga.
"I said this year that this is the best team that Gonzaga's ever had," Heathcote said. "We bought season tickets. We've had them for 18 years and I tell everyone it's the best investment we ever made because they're so fun to watch.
When they first bought their season tickets his wife asked him a simple question.
"My wife said, 'Is this division one basketball?" Heathcote said. "She said well there's no atmosphere. I said, 'The students were gone (spring break) and they weren't that big of a following at that time."
It's funny how times have changed. The atmosphere is one of the best in college basketball and the team is at the top of the rankings.
So what would Heathcote tell the team if he were in charge now?
"I think you tell them keep a level head on, don't get carried away with the media attention," Heathcote said. "We still have to play basketball."
What would he tell Coach Few?
"It's your turn to buy lunch."
SPOKANE, Wash. - Pig Out In The Park brings in thousands to delve into their favorite fair-like foods and put diets on the back burner. But this year is a little bit different, because organizers are calling it the largest pig out yet.

Dreaming of Julia, a Stonestreet Stables homebred, has the proper lineage to be a star being by two-time leading North American sire A.P. Indy and out of Dream Rush, a multiple Grade 1-winning mare. Dreaming of Julia immediately set about living up to her regal bloodlines in winning her first two career starts by a combined margin 26 ¾ lengths. She then battled gamely to fend off My Happy Face in the Frizette Stakes (G1) in her graded stakes debut. "Julia" ended her season by finishing third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).
Live Lively was Dreaming of Julia's downfall in his 2013 debut where she finished second but she came back to blow her rivals out of the water in the Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) by 21 3/4 lengths to secure herself a spot in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) where she finished fourth after a roughly run race. Dreaming of Julia finished second in the Mother Goose Stakes first her first start back since her Oaks trip.

Top Teachers: Janet Givens
Echo Lake E.S., first grade
Officially, Janet Givens teaches first grade at Echo Lake Elementary School. Unofficially, she teaches creativity.
Givens' classroom is a wonderland of ingenuity, a place where students learn the same lessons in a multitude of different ways. Students often lead their peers in lessons on her classroom Promethean board or create scrapbooks from field trip experiences. Mind-bender games challenge their knowledge.
During a popular lesson about the solar system, Givens takes her students outside to draw a 15-foot sun in chalk on the pavement, then uses a golf ball to represent the size of Earth.
"The visual perception of the concept will forever be embedded in my son's head," wrote one woman who nominated Givens.
Givens – who gave up a career in interior design and retail merchandising to become a teacher 15 years ago – traces the roots of her own creativity to her great aunt, an art teacher who instilled much of it in her at a young age.
"I like thinking of news ways to do things, or unusual ways – ways the kids relate to," she said. "I just really try to be me in my classroom, and part of me is, a lot of times, doing things a little bit differently."
Givens earned National Board Certified Teacher status in 2004 – an involved process that requires teachers to develop an extensive portfolio and complete several assessment exercises. She has taught first grade at Echo Lake since the school opened in 1999. She works to develop a personal connection with each student, believing that in turn they'll open up to her and be more eager to learn.
"I like to try to find that one little special thing that makes a child unique or challenging or special," she said.
Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed among parents.
"She recognizes the wide ability range of children in her class and manages to incorporate the advanced essentials of curriculum yet still meet the needs of those requiring a 'second helping,' one nominator wrote.
Givens is a regular participant in recess – "I'm usually the pitcher for kickball," she admitted – and considers one of her most meaningful teaching moments to be one that came outside the classroom. A student had earned the reward of running a mile with her after school, but he had difficulty convincing himself he could finish.
"That whole time I kept telling him, 'One foot in front of the other, you can do this – we're not going to stop, you can do this' – and he did," he recalled. "It was the best mile I ever ran with him. It's something that I carry with me."

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

I posted an Internet story after Dez Bryant's workout and have a separate story in tomorrow's paper. Bryant will have dinner with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Wednesday night and then will visit Valley Ranch on Thursday. He also has visits scheduled to Cincinnati and Tampa Bay. Denver and San Francisco also could be on his itinerary.
Bryant ran times of 4.53, 4.68 (against the wind) and 4.58. He was more impressive in position drills, with former OSU quarterback Bobby Reid throwing him passes. (Bryant also forgot his broken-in cleats and had to wear new ones, which didn't help him in running the 40 or in doing the three-cone or short-shuttle drills.)
Price is also scheduled to visit the Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Price has impresssed NFL scouts with his aggressiveness, quickness and ability to penetrate the backfield.
The 20-year-old defensive lineman was 6-foot-1, 301 pounds at his Pro Day workout, which was heavily attended.Sources: Star-Telegram.com & NationalFootballPost.com
PewterReport.com's Take: Fans have to take pre-draft visits with a grain of salt. Sometimes they are smokescreens, but the visits are usually used by teams to get to know a player even better and learn more aboutt that player or follow up on questions asked at the Senior Bowl, combine and/or pro day workouts. Bryant is a perfect example of why the Bucs are smart to do their homework on pro prospects. Although extremely talented and likely faster than his 40-yard dash time suggests, Bryant has some maturity issues and was suspended for most of the 2009 season by the NCAA. The Bucs are in the market for a starting-caliber receiver, but there is some risk involved with Bryant, who could still be a first-round pick, but has seen his draft stock drop in recent weeks. Price's visit shouldn't come as a surprise, either. The Bucs are in the market for a defensive tackle, and he could be an option should Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh and Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy not make it to Tampa Bay, which owns the third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. However, Price doesn't share the some character concerns that Bryant has had in the past.

TopDrawerSoccer.com Places FGCU in Initial Tournament 48 Rankings
FORT MYERS, Fla. – In the preseason release of TopDrawerSoccer.com's Tournament 48 on Monday, the FGCU men's soccer team was tabbed the Atlantic Sun Conference favorite to win the league's automatic berth and ranked the program No. 42 in the country entering the season.
The Eagles were the lone member of the A-Sun to appear in the rankings. Additionally, eight of the nine non-conference opponents on FGCU's 2012 schedule were selected to the preseason Tournament 48 in No. 4 Akron (MAC), No. 12 USF (BIG EAST), No. 16 Georgetown (BIG EAST), No. 25 Furman (Southern), No. 26 UCF (C-USA), No. 31 South Carolina (C-USA), No. 40 Iona (MAAC) and No. 46 Bucknell (Patriot League).
The Tournament 48 rankings are a running attempt to project the postseason college soccer tournament qualifiers, including every automatic conference berth. Thus, some college soccer teams will not be included that are included in other rankings lists.
With three first-place votes, the Green and Blue were predicted to finish second in the standings by the league head coaches behind 2011 A-Sun Tournament runner-up ETSU, which received the remaining six votes. Returning from the program's most historic season to date, senior midfielder Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS), sophomore forward Xavier Silva (Boca Raton, Fla./ North Broward Preparatory School) and sophomore defender Federico Crespo (Heredia, Costa Rica/St. Paul College/Universidad Latina) were each named to the A-Sun Preseason All-Conference team.
Finishing the season with a 12-6-2 overall record, the Eagles entered the 2011 A-Sun Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed after posting a 7-1 mark in league action. Having already secured back-to-back regular season championships, the Green and Blue went on to claim their first-ever A-Sun Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in the program's first season of eligibility.
Welcoming back 15 players from last year's championship squad, the Eagles open the season with a trip to Northeast Ohio to face 2010 National Champion No. 4 Akron on August 24 at 7:30 p.m. The 2012 home opener with Bucknell is slated for a 1 p.m. kickoff on Sept. 2 at the FGCU Soccer Complex.
FGCU season tickets can be purchased in person at the Alico Arena ticket office or by phone at 239-590-7145. Tickets are also available at www.FGCUathletics.com/tickets. The FGCU ticket office is open from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. from Monday through Friday. An adult ticket is $30, while a youth (3-12 years) ticket is $15.

Mann, Ziegler on preseason MAAC first team
Two JU players have been named to the 2012 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference preseason men's lacrosse first team. Midfielder Cameron Mann and defenseman Jake Ziegler, both team captains, are among the best at their position, according to a vote of league coaches.
Mann, a junior from Hamilton, Ontario, led the team with 37 points last season on 18 goals and 19 assists.
"It's cool to get our names out there but you can't do it without your teammates,'' Mann said. "It's just preseason so we've got to go out and perform and live up to it now. At the end of the season if they're naming us at the banquet we'll be happy but preseason doesn't mean much to us.''
Ziegler, a senior from Webster, N.Y., had 18 caused turnovers and 44 ground balls last year. He is the only player to have started every game (28) in the team's first two years and has been nominated this season for the Lowe's Senior Class award which is based on character, classroom, community and competition.
"All of these awards are nice and it's great we were selected, but when it comes down to it we'd rather see a MAAC championship trophy in our possession,'' Ziegler said. "It is nice to be recognized, it's nice to know we are a part of that but we'd like to win as a team.''
Siena's Bryan Neufeld was chosen as the 2012 MAAC Preseason Player of the Year. Neufeld, a native of Virgil, Ontario, was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2011 and Rookie of the Year in 2010. Last season, he averaged 3.61 point per game and 2.22 goals per game.
The preseason All-MAAC team consists of Canisius' Simon Giormetakis, Detroit's Adams, Marist's Connor Rice and Siena's Neufeld at attack. The midfielders are Mann, Marist's Jim Marks and Siena's Chris Roth. Detroit's Hebden, Ziegler and Marist's Ethan Fox were selected as the defensemen. Siena's Tom Morr was chosen as the goalie.
The Dolphins, 5-10 overall and 3-3 in the conference last season, has been tabbed in a tie for fourth with Canisius. Each team had 27 points in coaches voting.
The coaches picked Detroit Mercy as the league's preseason favorite with 43 points followed by Siena with 42. Marist was voted third (34 points) with Manhattan sixth and VMI seventh.

Magnetic Structure and Electric Field Effects in Multiferroic BiFeO3Valery Kiryukhin, Rutgers University, New Jersey
Materials Science and Technology Division, Materials Theory Group, Seminar
11:00 AM — 12:00 PM, Chemical and Material Sciences Building (4100), Room J-302
Contact: Randy Fishman (email@example.com), 865.574.5786
AbstractBiFeO3 (BFO) is a room-temperature multiferroic combining large electric polarization with a "tilted" anharmonic magnetic cycloid. In this talk, we discuss various ways of controlling magnetism in BFO single crystals using coupling between the ferroelectric and magnetic order parameters.
Elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, as well as SANS, are used, and electric and magnetic fields are applied in-situ. Electric field can rotate the electric polarization and Fe spins simultaneously, and a chiral magnetic monodomain state can be obtained. Populations of the 3 equivalent cycloidal magnetic domains can be controlled by an electric field through piezoelectric coupling. Alternatively, the domains can be controlled via the inverse effect by applying uniaxial pressure. Magnetic excitation spectra are presented, and effects of an electric field on the magnetic excitations are discussed. The ability to control the magnetic domains and excitations by an electric field or tiny deformation accentuates the potential of BFO for room-temperature applications involving magnetoelectric effects.

Medium brown color with tawny hues. 1-finger head with medium- retention and spotty lacing.
Toffee, light caramel notes, sultanas, plums, brown bread, cola, spice.
Sweet malt, orange peel, brown bread crust, raisins, cocoa nibs, semi-sweet chocolate.
Medium bodied and slightly thin in the mid palate. Carbonation is firm and the beer finishes dry.
Had this with the Truffle Custard at the French Laundry. Absolutely and inspired pairing. If you want to see synergy in a food and beverage pairing, this pairing is a great example of both products elevating one another.

Bottle ordered at The French Laundry. Served in a wine goblet. I asked the server and apparently this is brewed a few times a year exclusively for them.
A - Large tan foam settles to a thin cap, slightly thicker collar, and a few splotches of lace. Very dark brown body with ruby transparency when held to the (candle)light.
S - Spicy and mildly phenolic Belgian yeast initially dominates, before yielding to a more complex bouquet of dark chocolate, anise, and candi sugar.
T - Dry and roasty, with light candi sugar, anise, and some bready malts. As it warms there's a bit more caramel flavor that comes out. Alcohol is pretty well-hidden here.
M - Dry, medium body, that is a bit light for the style but seems right for the listed 7.2%. Mildly chewy in the finish, with minimal alcohol presence.
D - A solid take on the style, but nothing really mind-blowing. At least it was reasonably priced at $20/750ml. If you're at a Thomas Keller restaurant give it a shot, but don't go nuts trying to track this down.

Big thanks goes out to funkydelic for sharing this one at a recent tasting! This was one of his wales from a long time back and I am very thankful that he shared it with all of us! Thanks Cam! Served from bottle into a Boulevard tulip. Poured dark brown with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, syrup, sugar, dark fruit, and fig. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark fruit, fig, wood, and subtle molasses. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. I went into this brew expecting quite a bit based on what all I had heard about it, so that might have killed my opinion slightly. However, this was an easy drinking brew that wasn't overly powerful on the flavor. I could see this pairing really well with food as a lot of these flavors would pair great with certain things. Unfortunately we were not eating a paired meal with it. Really glad I got to try this one, thanks again Cameron!

Served with Dinner at Ad Hoc in Yountville, CA
Appearance - toffee-brown pour, small head with a bit of lacing
Smell - a bit off, toffee, brown sugar, raisins and plums. Heavy oxidation
Taste - too much oxidation, touches of toffee, brown sugar, plums
Overall - Oxidized and not that enjoyable, I was looking forward to trying it and very disappointed.

Thanks for sharing, Mike!
A: Pours a deep raisin brown with thick tan film that faded into a wispy collar that left a ton of stringy lace.
S: Rich notes of honey, chocolate, and dark fruits. I get a touch of caramel as well.
T: Sweet and very rich flavors of deep fruits, sweet honey, cocoa powder, prunes, bubble gum and toast. Very smooth and delicious flavors.
M: Medium body, creamy, soft and smooth mouthfeel with great carbonation made up of tiny bubbles.
O: I thought this was excellent! A smooth and very flavorful dark Belgian. Thanks again Mike!

Thanks Ben for sharing this one, review from written notes.
Bottle stored in temperature-controlled, zero light conditions. Served in a goblet.
It pours a tawny dark brown, glowing copper in the meniscus of the glass. Lasting head of tobacco stained tan foam. Appears highly carbonated.
Plum, raisin, caramel aromas and flavors, some obvious oxidation creeping in from age. Papery and dry aftertaste, lightly bitter and charged with nearly excessive carbonation. Not much spice nuance left at this point. Pruney sweetness lingers, seems a bit long in the tooth at this point. Overall it was nice to try, but if you're sitting on any, it's time to drink it.

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a stubby, bowl shaped glass at Ad Hoc Restaurant in Yountville, CA. Nothing but water to drink in the preceding five hours.
Cola brown with a quick 1/2 inch of foam that is gone in a flash.
Sweet fruits and dried fruis with a deep raisin character in the aroma. Spice notes, mainly of black pepper with hints of chocolate.
Flavor is well layered of sweet malts, raisin, orange peel, black pepper, candi sugar and plum. This is very well crafted. The entree tonight was braised short ribs in a sort of southern style barbecue according to the menu. This beer was perfect with the entree. Perfect. It didn't match the cheese quite as well, and the coconut tapioca portion of desert was a terrible match. However, the cinnamon binget and chocolate sauce went quite well.
The mouthfeel was spot on with huge carbonation and a dry body that cut through the fatty food and scrubbed the palate clean. Just what a true representation of a Belgian style ale should be.
Overall, a great example of what a Belgian dubbel can be.

Poured from a bottle at The French Laundry in Yountville, CA.
By the time i got to drink this beer at FL, i was already several bottle of wine in, so it pains me that i cannot remember the details of the beer with great clarity. However, it was paired with our cheese course that evening, and it was surprising how well a dark belgian like this could match to a cheddar course. It had a great off white head, dark appearance and smelled wonderful. Paired with the cheese, the maltiness of the beer brought out some of the sharper characteristics of the cheddar and was sublime. I asked if i could bring bottles home and was politely refused. Maybe some day i will make it back up to have some more...

Reviewing as a Belgian Dubbel, that is the style of this beer.
No best by or bottled on date from a 750 ml bottle into a Chimay goblet. The color is extremely dark, cola like or doppelbock, rich amber tones to near reddish brown mud/clay colors. Very effervescent with a dense light biege to malt husk tone foamy head, tight beads of carbonation and good signs of lacing at it drinks. The second pour as the beer warms up presents an even denser two inch head with rocky mousse like character.
Aroma presents a big concord grape character, suspect a fair amount of Munich malt in the grist. A good peppery yeast tone in the back, tangerine and clementine also come through. Very fruity character. A faint dry chalkiness as it warms.
Flavor profile is dominated by the concord grape upfront and towards the back of the tongue before giving way to a orange and peach then a spicy cracked pepper and thai basil character from the yeast. Very complex palate tons of fresh and dried fruit notes and a very juicy character before a semi-dry finish and a good palate cleansing bitterness and carbonation combo.
The body is medium, juicy, at times aqueous before a the finish which sets in well with a high effervescence and solid bittering character to balance the malt profile. Could be a touch drier but that is personal nitpicking.
A minor ding on drinkability, not something you'd pull up to simply share a glass of beer, this ale is something to be paired with a nice slow roasted beef, pork or lamb dish. The malt and yeast tones and high effervescence play well with a moist juicy meat and vegetables stewing in the juices. Can also match a nice fresh artisan bread lightly toasted and very sharp aged cheddar or asiago cheese.

The gf got me a bottle from Bouchon in BH.
Opaque brown body with a three finger light beige head. Good retention and lacing.
Smells of rustic bread, brown sugar, and a faint hit of orange rind... surprising and awesome.
The palate is of light chocolate, rye bread, orange rind, and a touch of caramel. One of the better American made Dark Belgian strong ales I have ever had.
Mouthfeel is full bodied dry and slightly sweet
This beer would be awesome with food. Complex, but not overpowering. Really tasty. If you are at Bouchon, get a bottle. It's worth it.

Bottle shared by kp - thanks!
Pours a hazy dark ruby color with a one-finger tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of smooth dark malts and dark candi sugar with good amounts of fruits - plums and figs. A very nice balance between the malt and fruit aromas.
Tastes good. As with the smell there's a nice balance between the malt and the fruit flavors - neither one manages to outshine the other. Sweet malt up front is joined quickly by plums and figs along with hints of spiciness. As the beer warms I also get hints of orange peel. The ending is crisp and leaves a bit of dark fruit flavors lingering on the palate.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished my glass quickly and could have a few more.
Overall this was a very well-balanced BSDA and one that I recommend if you can find it.

I hear this beer is kinda hard to get, so thanks to the guy who helped with this one. Pours a cloudy brown color with a nice head that falls quickly and leaves some lacing on the glass. The aroma is comprised of a lot of Belgian yeast character (spice, etc) with some dark fruits and a touch of sweetness. Lots of dark fruits in the flavors as well as a nice spice from the yeast make this one a keeper. The mouthfeel is medium and the drinkability is very good and refreshing.

This beer pours an opaque (at least in relatively low light), dark brown with a fine beige head that puffs up well and leaves good lacing. The color is darker than I was expecting. The nose is refined brown sugar, malt and good fruitiness of the plum/nectarine variety. I prefer the aroma to the flavor, which adds in a relatively strong phenol note. The flavor come together a bit like Ommegang's flagship Abbey Ale, for my tastebuds. I'm not a big fan of the Abbey Ale (for some reason, I think it tastes like soy sauce), but Brooklyn pulls off the flavor profile well in this beer. It's a hard beer to judge against its style because it's a bit stronger than the Belgian versions that I've tried. At any rate, the mouthfeel is smooth and fairly creamy. The drinkability is high because it's really an excellent beer to pair with food. It's a strong, relatively unique flavor that doesn't dominate the palate. I can understand why the French Laundry would want to add this beer to their menu. Anyway, it's all fun to find a Brooklyn Brewery beer in California.

06/07/09- Shared at a group tasting.
Presentation- 750ml bottle. 2009 edition, poured into my Orval chalice.
Appearance- Carbonated grape soda looking pour. Kind of a purple cola color. Head is about 3/4 inch and evaporates quickly. Leaves some light spots and a few streaks of lace.
Smell- Nice aroma of belgian yeast, confectioniers sugar, some minor dark fruits as well as a touch of funk.
Taste- Quenching. Mixed bag of wonderful flavors. Dates and figs combined with the perfect amount of belgian sugar as well as some clove and cinnimon type flavors.
Mouthfeel- Great crisp and sharp carbonation level with a light dry and pleasant aftertaste.
Drinkability- Heard that this is one of the few beers that they serve at French Laundry in Yountville, CA...in fact it might have ben brewed for them originally. Great beer and quite refreshing. Worth seeking out.

reviewing from notes. Drank this on 5/28/09. Part of the excitement was the fact that I was even able to get this in California.
A- Opaque, spritzy, little to no head to speak of
S-Spicy, Belgian-esque.... awesome
T- Smooth but very complex. Bread, milk chocolate, toffee, plums and oranges, some coffee on the tail end. Hints of nutmeg and clove. A tiny bit of rum. Belgiany without really feeling like a "Belgian-style". A delicious and unique beer
M- Light and fizzy. Creamy.
D- I could drink one of these a day, for the rest of my life. The was a delicious beer that made me look forward to every sip.

I was rather surprised to find so many amendments were required in a post by an English teacher.
If you only teach spoken English, then I guess it's possible that the problem is simply with your written English, but if your post above is an example of what you are teaching the children, then I cannot help but be concerned.
I'm afraid I can't really help you with your actual query - I have only ever taught one child and that was only for about four classes.
