In my house, Belgium dominates the Christmas seasonals every year. The winter seasonals and winter warmers pouring out of American breweries are fine - even better than fine. But the rich and textured tradition of Belgian Christmas brewing really shines in the weeks leading up to the biggest Christo-secular commercial frenzy of the year. One of my seasonal regulars is Affligem's Noel. It pours dark brown and red, dotted with bubbles, and crowned with a great blustering head. Warm scents of apples and pears invoke the sweeter side of winter cooking, the scents soft, mellow and a hint of grainy dryness. The taste is less meek. Beginning with the apple and pear flavors, it shifts to a richer and savory palate of flavors: cream, cedar and a cheesy umami. The savory cascade ends with a light aftertaste of wheat, completing the cycle of flavors and beckoning another sip. The Affligem Noel runs through old world flavors at a comfortable pace, and orchestrates disparate flavors into a single, delicious beer. The Noel is a welcome new tradition to my present and future Decembers.

Pours a deep reddish brown with a huge foamy head,aroma is very malty and sweet like candied sugar and juicy fruit.Taste is of dried fruit and sweet candied sugar with some light smokiness that liners.A very rich somewhat complex brew good for after dinner like me right now.

Appearance - Beautiful, dark brown sugar body with a gorgeous volcanic head that rose monstrously, went down slowly, and laced the glass.
Smell - Big BSDA aromas. The malt is mature and deep, the sugars are dark and sweet, and the fruits (ripe peaches and apricots, dates, and plums) fill the nostrils.
Taste - This one delivers. The super-sugary malt flavors drip sweetness in the mouth. The malt is lightly toasted and heavily infused with the above-listed fruits and a giant dose of brown sugar syrup mixed with cinnamon-laced apple juice.
Mouthfeel - Some good carbonation, along with the syrupy, chewy, rich feel of the ale makes this one a mouthwatering pleasure.
Drinkability - The wonderful malt and fruit flavors, along with a touch of alcohol, helped this one go down extremely well.
Update - Popped a 2007 that I picked up at BevMo. Man I really like this brew. The malts and sugars are balanced towards sweetness, which is how I enjoy my Christmas Ales, and the exotic spices go well with the healthy yeast. Overall this is an excellent BSDA and one of my favorite Christmas beers of all time.
Update - Tried a 2008 right off the shelf and it definitely needed some time in the cellar, so I would suggest at least a year to get your money's worth out of this wonderful ale.

This is one hell of a beer. The appearance is an impressive red-amber with a thick, puffy white head like a roll of Charmin ultra. Great head! Seriously, it feels uncannyily good on the lips and tongue.
The smell contains subtle orange notes but mostly reminds me of an American Amber-Red.
The taste is spicy and tropical with loads of caramel and yeasts that I associate with Capitol Amber.
MF is superb, primarily because of the outstanding head.
Drinkability is higher than most Noel beers of this sort because it isnt overly sweet, spiced, or just plain candied citrusy.

A - Caramel color, cloudy, big frothy head, with moderately high carbonation.
S - Malty dark fruit aromas and spice.
T - The dark fruit is definitely there, but the spices shine through, but not in an overbearing way. Finishes with a good bit of warm alcohol.
M - A good bite from both the carbonation and the alcohol finish. Although it has a moderate body the carbonation and alcohol clean it up.
D - The mouthfeel description continues to the drinkability, does not feel to heavy at all. Spiced beers can be overdone so easily but their restraint makes this beer a joy to drink.

Pours a cherry-brown color, with a typically fizzy Belgian head. Smells of cherry and spice and other things nice. Taste is divine, with a nice cherry-chocolate flavor, as well as some spice. The mouthfeel seems a bit fizzy, but not bad.
Overall, this is a very tasty Belgian, one that gives me a nice warm feeling. Even though it's well after Xmas, this is a nice winter's treat for me.

Great big bopple that's not quite big enough. Cloudy dark amber with a rocky white head and an aroma of musty dark fruit and hints of malt and butterscotch. Let's sit down beside the tree and see what happens...
ahhh, an outstanding beer when the snow's falling. Starts with a hint of background alcohol and complex earthy fruitiness - figs, yellow raisins, with some toffee and spiciness - anise and nutmeg maybe? Big and round, with the alcohol and spice showing up more prominently in the finish as it warms. Fair degree of bitterness to balance out the malts & sugars. A very fine Christmas ale.
Whaddya mean you want me to put the tree topper on top of the tree? I still have half of a glass of Affligem left! Can't it wait? You sure you want me to put on a 40 year old ornament after a fifth of 9% brew? Ohhh-kayyyy... it's your mom's ornament!! (sounds of nothing crashing) Ahhh, now back to my brew...

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 750ml bottle into a tulip glass. The bottle is corked and caged. It lists its abv at 9% and there is a date or batch number of 10 230 11 on the label.
Appearance: The body has a deep coppery amber color with bright reddish/orange highlights. On top sits a long standing light tan head. A small cap of foam hangs on till the very last sip and makes for some good lacing on the glass.
Smell: It has a big sweet character with loads of yeast and tropical fruit notes.
Taste/Palate: It has a wonderful mix of toasted malt, Belgian sugar, bready and yeast notes with sweet tropical and dried fruits mixed in. There is a mild peppery warmth from the alcohol as well. I get a little more dry spice and maybe a slight touch of hops in the finish which is still carries some sweetness. This all comes by a smooth easy drinking medium to full body.
Notes: This is an excellent holiday classic that fills you palate with wonderful flavor and warms your body and soul.

Poured from a 750ml conditioned bottle, 2002 vintage.
Dark mahogany brown color, two fingered off-white head that is very thick and creamy. Aroma of musty cork and vinous undertones with bigger aromas of chocolate and tropical fruit as it warms up. Flavor is a brilliantly evenhanded mix of caramel, dates, raisins, chocolate bitter orange, and spiciness. A good amount of yeast as well let alone the big warming alcohol that holds faint solvent and tropical fruit in the back. A full bodied and rounded brew, a dollop of residual sweetness. Creamy on the tongue. A sipping brew to have with some holiday dessert, one of the many winter seasonals that should be on your list.

The holidays are over, but winter is not. Large bottle, caged and corked. Opened with a flourish of escaping energy, poured with a vigorous head, leaving a puffy, fluffy head, leaves the expected respectable sticky lacing. Dark almond in color, cloudy. Nose is of ripe fruit. This is a tasty, warming ale. Lots of yeasty, bready goodness. Slightly prickly on the tongue. As it warms, notes of clove, yeast, licorish, and smoke come foward. Very nice winter brew, lacking the depth of complexity of the higher rated BSDAs, but still well worth a try.

Not impressed by this one, maybe I got a bad bottle. Pours clear copper, thanks to the artificial caramel coloring, with a medium off-white head. Flat flavor. Caramel, malt, apple, corriander, nutmeg, and yeast. Problem is nothing really popped out, so everything seemed to drown in a soup of spice and malt.

A-Served in Affligem chalice-2 fingers think pillowy head that laces glass. Clear and reddish brown.
S-Yeasty esters are dominant aroma-sweet malt is also in your face.
T-Yeasty like most all Belgians. Sweet malt, not that far off from a Quad, raisins/rich dried fruit taste evident.
M-Fair carbonation-vapory alcohol end bite but isn't overpowering, especially considering the strength of this beer.
D-Solid but I'm sure a couple of these would knock you out. Probably a good thing you can taste the alcohol.
O-A nice beer to try. Rich yet not too overpowering. A great winter beer!

Sedimented and opaque, a burnt umber overall color. Yellowish head of bubbles tending to larger sizes, rises to a good inch in the glass. Fat dots and strings for laces. Smells of candied pear, lots of cinnamon comes through in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation, nicely composed. Treacle flavors, yeasty background, but establishing a malty overall tone, embellished by a peachiness. Nice sense of balance, hops are peppery and somewhat background in impression, but combined with a lively mouthfeel and a menthol sense and a building alcohol warming. Well-done and nicely complex, the beer takes on a candy-like impression as its temperature rises, you can really taste this characteristic by licking your lips.

ST: 750 ml poured into a goblet.
A: Reddish-brown with a thick finger-inch fluffy brown-tinged white head that has great retention. It leaves a bit of lacing and turns red in the light, sediment and ample carbonation can be seen.
S: Apple, pepper, malt, and yeast.
T: Lots of fruit, it starts with apple and pears, then some spice joins the party before a nice finish that is not to heavy and has crisp apple.
M: Not to heavy due to ample carbonation and it can be a bit creamy.
D: This beer is smooth, but is has high alcohol.
Overall: This is a great Christmas beer. It has complex flavor and is not to heavy thanks to the carbonation. It has a great aroma and finish. I have one that I plan to age for a year. I will update this when I drink it next year.

(Served in a chalice) The cork said 10/07
A- This beer had a dark dense caramel body that show a soft glow of reddish-brown at the very base of the glass. There was a light tan head that was creamy and bubble and lasted for a bit. The beer was a bit to dense to see any carbonation.
S- The aroma was pretty clean with an apple cider aroma that had a slight sweetness to it and a faint dry spice note underneath.
T- The sweet stewed apple quality blended with a dry caramel candy note and a soft brown nougat note in the finish.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with no alcohol heat noticed. D- This beer has a caramel and cidery flavor to it but not much depth beyond that. Just not very interesting or rich in flavor.

Pours a cloudy dark brown with copious head. Almost half of my glass was head before I was done pouring. Smells heavily of caramel and spices.
The taste is heavily of caramel and some type of fruit. Perhaps apricots and rainsins. Not the easiest drinker, but gives me a nice warming feeling in my stomach. I might have to pick up another bottle to cellar for the holiday season. Definitely worth the seven dollars I paid for the wine-sized bottle.

EVERYWHERE I went in Paris, I would see the Affligem Noël advertisements. Every Metro stop, every newstand, even almost every bloody building had the nice looking poster showing a proper goblet of this fine elixir surrounded by the spices within it. I've had this years version once prior to my trip. It was delicious, no 'bout a doubt it. These omnipresent ads took over my world while in France. I needed to have more. I just did. Only problem NOWHERE had the actual beer!
After looking in about a dozen shops and probably peering into two dozen bars (even many places listed in the Paris Beerfly), I all but gave up. My travelmates were all enthralled. What was the delicious nectar that evaded us so? We can it be? Finally, one bar we sauntered by had it on draught, but we were lunchbound and no one else wanted to pop in for a glass.
When I got home to LA, I stopped in my local shop - a place I knew would have it. Sure enough, it was delicious as could be.
Pouring into my chalice, it looked exactly like Coca-Cola. Sniffing at it, I even get some of that Coke smell - not much mind you, most is filled with spices: clove, cinnamon, and star anise. A slight bready yeastiness seeps out as well. The spices and malt characters shined in the flavor even more so than the nose. It was a subtle sweetness that rounded the balance. Delicious.
A fine Belgian holiday offering.

3.58/5 rDev -12.3%
Poured from a caged and corked 750 into a chalice. Cork is dated 1/06.
A-This is based in the initial pour. Murky dark amber with a creamy tan head. Minimal lacing. Fairly clear orange/ruby at the bottom of the glass when held to light. Not as dark as I though it might be.
S-Yeasty and earthy, slightly citrus biased and a wee bit funky. Behind that lies a fruitiness that seems more fresh than dark and aged.
T-Nose carries through to the palate and the initial impression of this was extreme disappointment. Medium bodied, this reminded me of a fairly standard tripel more than a special Belgian winter warmer. Apples, pears, citrus, a bit of bananna, and darker fruits in the background are carried by the yeast with hardly a hint of alcohol. If I were to review this against the universe of beers, it would receive a higher rating, but reviewing it in style, against other Belgian holiday offerings, I'm afraid it falls short, at least for me.
M-Nice, medium-creamy mouthfeel with the standard effervescence.
D-Interesting, but there are others out there I prefer.

Detectives arrested an Englewood woman who had reported that someone had stolen her checkbook and written a check at the Town Center Mall when it was learned she was the one who wrote the check.
On Thursday December 26, Angela Salanoa, 43, of 1430 Crest Drive in Englewood, reported that someone had taken her checkbook and driver's license without her knowledge.
She said that someone had used one of her checks on the previous Thursday December 19 to make a $991 purchase at Bealls at the Town Center Mall. Salanoa said she had notified her bank, which placed a hold on her account.
Detectives assigned to the case obtained a video from Bealls showing who they described as "two heavyset white women" pushing a shopping cart full of merchandise through the store to a check-out area.
One of the women was described as having blonde hair and wearing a pink shirt under a black sweater jacket, black pants and white tennis shoes. The second woman had brown hair and was wearing a printed shirt with black pants and black sandals.
During the investigation, the detectives found that Salanoa herself looked similar to one of the women in the video. After requesting assistance in identifying the women and through further investigation, detectives located the second woman in the video.
She confirmed that she had been with Salanoa at Bealls when Salanoa paid for her merchandise with a check.
Salanoa was arrested earlier today and charged with Grand Theft, alleging that she intentionally deprived Bealls of $991 worth of merchandise by paying with the check that she then reported as stolen.
She was being held on a $2,500 bond at the Charlotte County Jail.

PEORIA, Ill -- Peoria police are looking for suspects after an elderly couples home on the 2400 block of Maryland was broken into Wednesday morning.
Authorities say that the suspects forced their way into the home through the back door and rummaged through the home, including the room that the 89-year-old victim was sleeping in. Police say that two handguns, a flat panel television and two cell phones were taken.
The suspects then stole the victim's vehicle, causing damage to it as they backed out of the garage.
The vehicle was later found with the passengers and side doors open in an alley on the 800 block of Ravine. Police believe that four suspects were in the vehicle. There was damage on both sides of the car.

Most children are left in vehicles accidentally, when a parent forgets the sleeping child in the back seat or in a car seat.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a child dies from heatstroke about once every 10 days from being left alone in a hot vehicle, and heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash vehicle fatalities for kids 14 and younger.
A study from one source cited an examination of media reports about the 561 child vehicular heatstroke deaths for a 14-year period (1998 through 2012) showing the following circumstances:
•51 percent of deaths (288 children) were from children "forgotten" by caregivers
•29 percent of deaths (163 children) were playing in unattended vehicles
•18 percent of deaths (101 children) were intentionally left in vehicle by adult
•2 percent (9 children) the circumstances are unknown
Tips for remembering the child include putting a stuffed animal in the car seat and moving it to the front when the baby is in the car seat, putting items necessary for the upcoming activity in the backseat next to the child or even removing your shoes and placing them in the backseat with the child.
Pets are often intentionally left in the vehicles, as owners think they will only be gone for a short time.
"It just slips peoples' minds," veterinarian Robin Roberts of Animal General said. "They think they are just running in for a minute, but with no air movement and no way to cool themselves, it only takes a short amount of time for the animal to become distressed. Even in the shade, those cars become extremely hot in a very short time."
Roberts said that the effects of the extreme heat aren't always obvious immediately and can sometimes show up as late as two or three weeks later. "Pets just shouldn't be left in the car, even if you think you are just going to be inside for a minute, time passes much faster than you think," Roberts said.
He also recommends that outside dogs have shade and cool drinking water so they can stay cool during the extremely hot summer days.
Roberts said that he usually sees five or six cases of heat-related illness in dogs each summer, but stresses that there is no way to really know how many animals are impacted locally each year.
"There are five vets around here, so if we each see five or six a year, and we already know that approximately 20 percent of animals in need of vet care actually get it, we are looking at a pretty large number," Roberts said. "And, of course, we don't see the ones who are already deceased."
Signs of heat-related issues in dogs are much the same as in people:
•Unusual breathing - rapid and loud
•High rectal temperature
•Extreme thirst
•Weakness and/or fatigue
•Frequent vomiting
•A bright red tongue and pale gums
•Skin around muzzle or neck doesn't snap back when pinched
•Difficulty breathing
•Collapse or coma
•Thick saliva
•Increased heart rate
Roberts said anyone with an animal showing these signs should cool the animal off and seek veterinary treatment immediately.
Leaving the engine running is no safeguard against the dangers, the vehicle could overheat or stop running for another reason or the child or pet could hit the vent or air controls, turning them off.
Anyone who sees a child or pet left in a vehicle should contact the local police immediately and stay with the vehicle until help arrives.

Erin Express 2007 by TheGrif - over 7 years ago
"These seven gentlemen tackled a city wide pub crawl showing off their Irish stamina to drink the bars of Philadelphia under the table. The shirts had a drunken leprechaun on the front to help lead the way while the back of the shirt mapped out the bus route to the bars. The quote on the back "A drink precedes a story" (an Irish Proverb). This line was very appropriate for the day."

Second opinion leads to first-class heart care
When Stefan Jewusiak was 41, he moved from Poland to the United States with his wife and two young daughters. At 42, he suffered his first heart attack. Over the next several years he had two more heart attacks and developed an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) in his left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber. This life-threatening condition is called ventricular tachycardia, or VT.
Unhappy with the care he had received elsewhere and concerned about his worsening condition, Stefan came to Loyola for a second opinion.
"Stefan was a relatively young man with complex, advanced heart disease," said Jeffrey Winterfield, MD, a Loyola cardiologist who specializes in heart arrhythmias. "He already had an implanted defibrillator to shock his heart into beating normally. A very high number of shocks kept Stefan alive, but the quality of his life had become quite poor. We were confident we could help him."
Loyola's Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine is world renowned for its ability to treat complex arrhythmias, heart failure and related cardiovascular illnesses. In U.S. News & World Report®'s highly regarded Best Hospitals 2012 - 2013, Loyola University Medical Center ranked 18th in the nation in cardiology and heart surgery, two spots higher than last year. This is the 10th year in a row that Loyola's heart program has been listed in this prestigious national ranking.
Many VT patients who come to Loyola have had one or more heart attacks, often years earlier. By the time they arrive on our Maywood campus, they have accumulated numerous living scars that Dr. Winterfield describes as "little bundles" of heart muscle.
These living scars can create electrical circuits that cause arrhythmias. If Stefan had not had a procedure to stop his VT, his heart likely would have become so weak that only a heart transplant could have kept him alive.
"We are known worldwide for our heart transplant program, but we do everything we can to help patients avoid transplantation," said Alain Heroux, MD, medical director of Loyola's Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation programs. "It's one reason why our team of experts, representing every discipline in heart care, meets weekly to review cases and develop
personalized treatment plans. Studies have shown that when a patient like Stefan is in an advanced heart failure program, such as the one at Loyola, it increases his chances for survival and an improved quality of life."
The challenge facing the Heart Failure program team was clear: How do we stop the VT before it ends Stefan's life prematurely? Their solution involved Loyola's sophisticated, three-dimensional mapping system. Serving as a GPS for the heart, it identifies the precise locations of those little bundles of heart muscle and helps the electrophysiology (EP) physician guide a catheter (thin tube) to the exact spots causing the problems in the left ventricle.
Dr. Winterfield used the tip of the catheter to burn away living scar tissue, disrupting the electrical circuits that were causing the VT. He also implanted a highly advanced device that keeps Stefan's heart beating properly.
"Everything went exactly as planned,"
Dr. Winterfield said, recalling the February 2012 procedures. "In just a few days, Stefan's heart was getting healthier and doing a better job of pumping his blood."
Loyola researchers participated in many of the clinical trials that pioneered cardiac ablation for VT and atrial fibrillation patients. Today, Loyola has one of the highest-volume programs in the Midwest. Its five EP physicians perform approximately 500 ablations per year.
Stefan says he's enjoying life again. He likes riding bicycles with his wife, Ursula, gardening at their home and spending time with his daughters.
"Ursula and I are very, very pleased," Stefan said. "Everyone at Loyola was really skilled and caring. You can feel how much they want to help."

Loyola Teaches Patients How to Protect Their Hearts
Modern medicine has identified ways to help patients avoid heart attacks, cardiac procedures and open-heart surgeries. There are steps healthy people can take to prevent heart disease, or at least effectively manage existing conditions. Had Stefan Jewusiak come to Loyola when he was in his 40s, he might never have reached the point where doctors were considering him for a heart transplant.
Today, Stefan is rightfully focused on the future. His desire for better health led him to meet with Binh An Phan, MD, assistant professor, medicine, cardiology, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Dr. Phan leads the Preventive Cardiology and Lipid Program at Loyola University Medical Center.
"Our tests and recommendations are tailored to each individual's needs and risks," Dr. Phan said. "We take detailed family histories, conduct specialized blood work and perform advanced, non-invasive imaging to determine how they can prevent heart disease in the future. Some people need to improve their nutrition and get more exercise, while others have to stop smoking and take medications." Stefan has seen Dr. Phan and his team twice during 2012, meetings that have made a difference in Stefan's life. "Dr. Phan helped me understand why I had to eat better and get more exercise. He gave me suggestions for how I can do these things for myself. We're all very happy with the results," Stefan said.
"Prevention of heart disease is our main goal, which we achieve by identifying individual risk factors and working with patients to lower those risks," explained Dr. Phan. "For relatively healthy patients, we usually start with lifestyle changes since they are the easiest to implement. Yet we also help people with advanced heart disease, like Mr. Jewusiak, understand that preventive medicine might be able to help them lead a longer and happier life."

DANVILLE (WRIC) - Workers along the Dan River are scrambling to stop a toxic leak of coal ash that has turned the river into gray sludge.
The leak was found over the weekend at a power plant storage pond in North Carolina. More than 82,000 tons of ash poured into the river, and the gray stuff has made its way downstream into Virginia.
The city of Danville is filtering the drinking water and environmental workers are testing the water to see if there's any threat to people or animals. They say it will likely kill fish.
"I am closely monitoring the situation involving the coal ash spill in North Carolina and the potential impact on Virginia," Gov. Terry McAuliffe says in a statement. "I have directed the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, and the Virginia Department of Health to continue to evaluate the quality and safety of the Dan River's water supply. At this time the water supply remains safe for human consumption, and we will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses."
McAuliffe says Virginia is ready to provide assistance to protect the quality of the water supply in the areas in both states that could be affected.

Hi Rabbits and Rats! I'm a longtime lurker who recently started to whisper from the sidelines. This is the first time I've jumped into the game, but I do like to get hit, so I hope you welcome me with fraternally planted feet. This interview with ESPN VP of Communications Mike Soltys touched on hockey coverage. Nothing revelatory, but at least he says all the right things. Well, except for the implication that the SCF might not see ABC... SMW: Does ESPN have an interest in maybe reacquiring NHL rights down the line? Those are going to be up in 2011. Soltys: We have been big fans of hockey going way back. As I mentioned earlier, we have agreements with them around the world. It's got to be a deal that's going to make financial sense for us, and it has to be something that we can get some of the high-quality telecasts. But we certainly have an interest. And any of those kind of rights that we don't have, it's hard to speculate. It depends on many circumstances, when they becomes available, but largely economically, if it makes sense for us, and makes sense for our viewer. [follow the link for more on the SCF question]

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The San Diego Zoo's rambunctious baby panda Xiao Liwu is getting harder and harder to examine.
On Thursday, before vets could perform the exam, the animal care staff had to dry the little guy off because he had been spending time with his mother out in the rain.
The baby panda weighed in at 14 pounds. The vets were very pleased with the panda's cooperation as he continues to test his boundaries.
He also spent some time during Thursday's exam gumming bamboo.

CATEGORIES MoviesThere's something inherently fascinating about female spies, isn't there? Sure, James Bond is cool and all, but he just doesn't have the same 'je ne sais quoi' factor as, say, Mata Hari, the exotic dancer accused of being a German spy during WWI.
Right now, two of the most compelling characters on the big and small screens are female spies: Maya (Jessica Chastain) in Kathryn Bigelow's new film Zero Dark Thirty, and Carrie (Claire Danes) on the insanely addictive TV show Homeland.
Zero Dark's Maya certainly doesn't share any characteristics with alluring sexpot Mata Hari. But even though she's a formally trained spy who doesn't dress up in sexy undercover costumes or appear to leverage her sexuality at all, she's still intriguing nonetheless. Maybe it's because female spies are operating within what's still very much a man's world. When we first meet Maya in Zero Dark, she's observing her fellow intelligence officer, Dan (Jason Clarke), torture a prisoner to extract information.
All of Maya's feminine characteristics -- her long red hair, her delicate face and her curves -- are obscured by a bulky cloak and mask. At one point, Dan asks her if she'd like to sit out the next round, something he presumably wouldn't offer a male counterpart. Maya has to work extra hard to prove herself, and that may be one of the driving forces behind her successful quest to find Osama bin Laden. That, and her well-above-average IQ, an impeccably refined BS detector and total lack of a personal life.
Maya isn't like the other female spies we see portrayed most often in film and TV. She doesn't run around in stilettos seducing sources like we've seen done by the leading ladies of Covert Affairs, Alias and Nikita. She doesn't rely on her feminine wiles to get what she needs. Instead, she leverages her considerable smarts and a lot of good old-fashioned hard work.
As refreshing as Maya is, that doesn't mean I have anything against the familiar female spy tropes. After all, who doesn't like watching a badass lady spy going undercover in amazing outfits and seducing secrets out of (invariably attractive) sources?
With that in mind, I've compiled this very mixed bag of my top five fictional lady spies.
1. Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) on Homeland. Carrie just might be one of the most complex characters I've seen on TV -- ever. She's brilliant and beyond competent one day, and completely unhinged the next. It's fascinating to see her at work. She's by no means a sexpot, but she isn't afraid to use her sexuality to pry information out of targets. Especially if they happen to be tall, handsome red-haired targets.
2. Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) on Get Smart. Isn't Agent 99 the best? As her bumbling counterpart, Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) is busy talking into his shoe phone and deploying his laser blazer, she's foiling bad guys and delivering witty one-liners in her distinctive sultry voice. I'm not the only one who loves me some 99 -- this guy put together a tribute to her on YouTube.
3. Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) in Inglourious Basterds. Kruger speaks three languages flawlessly (German, French and English), so it was really only a matter of time before someone cast her as a spy. In Quentin Tarantino's hands, Kruger is mysterious, glamorous and badass all at once. She definitely holds her own against the menfolk.
4. Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) on The Avengers. Emma Peel was way ahead of her time. The sexy 1960s TV heroine kicked some serious ass, and wasn't a stranger to saving men in distress. She looked damn fine doing it, too, in her signature leather cat suit.
5. Rachel Singer (Jessica Chastain/ Helen Mirren) in The Debt. How could a character shared by Chastain and dame Helen not be totally amazing? The Mossad agent puts herself in incredibly vulnerable positions to nab bad guys -- even the gynecologist's chair! Now that's dedication to your job.

MEMPHIS, TN - (WMC-TV) – Who doesn't dread paying bills every month?
That includes the often hefty cost of cable TV. Memphian Thaddeus
Williams said he does.
"But I don't think I'd tap into someone else's account," said
That's what someone is accused of doing. And what they tapped was the
Shelby County Retirement Fund.
"We were looking at the monthly ledger and we realized that there were
a couple of accounts that county money had been shifted to that belonged to
Comcast," said Shelby County spokesman Steve Shular.
Shular said employees immediately recognized something was wrong.
"That some person had used a routing number from a county-associated
check to pay their Comcast bill," said Shular.
The person verbally authorized at least two $250 checks payable to Comcast
using retirement fund money which is used to pay county retirees.
"Once we got that information back from the bank, we immediately
contacted law enforcement and we've got an investigation going," said
Shular said the discovery of the theft proves routine audits work.
Additional policy changes will be made to ensure any future fraud is swiftly
Meanwhile, Comcast customers believe it's best to pay your bill using your
own money.
"They'll always get you, they'll always find you eventually," said
Thaddeus Williams. "It may take some time, but you'll pay for what
you did."
Investigators know whose name is on the Comcast account that was paid.
But, so far, no one has been arrested. Our calls to Comcast have not been

The game will be held at Merrimack College on Saturday, December 7 at 1:00 p.m.
Springfield earned the second-most selections among Division III schools and only 22 D-III athletes were chosen to play in the game. Carresi, DiNatale and Vital were among just six players selected from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC).
The senior trio helped lead the Pride to its second-straight NEWMAC title this season, finishing the year with a record of 13-5-4 (6-1-3, NEWMAC). Springfield made its fourth-straight NCAA tournament appearance.
Carresi was selected to the All-Conference Second Team this season, providing solid play in the midfield for the Pride. The senior played in all 22 games this year, tallying three goals and three assists. Of her three goals, two were game-winners, including the game-winning goal in a 2-1 NEWMAC semifinal win over Wheaton. Carresi ranked second on the team with nine points. The senior played in every single game the past three years and played in 68 games through her career. Of her four career goals, three were game-winners. She also tallied 10 assists.
DiNatale earned her third All-Conference selection in as many years. This year, the senior was honored with her second-straight first team selection. Led by DiNatale, the Pride defense allowed just 17 goals all season. Not only was she a consistent defender, but DiNatale also contributed two goals on the offensive side for the Pride. The senior was tied for the most votes among defenders. In her four-year career, the defender tallied eight goals, including two game-winners. She played in every game the past three years and played in 74 games through four years.
Vital notched a team-leading six goals this season including two game-winners. The senior led the Pride with 12 points on the year. She played in 14 games this season and anchored a Pride offense that outscored opponents, 31-17. Over three years, Vital tallied 17 goals including six game-winners and five assists. She played in 43 games.

Inappropriate posts on social media can definitely be a cause of concern for parents. Now, one father has developed software to help. It's a tool that monitors their children's social networking activity for language, cyber bullying, sexting and even violence. For Texas dad Mitch Butler, it all started with something as seemingly innocent as seeing his then-13-year-old daughter's phone light up.
"It was a group text from a boy at school that had an inappropriate text and image," he said. "My immediate reaction was one of amazement and disgust." Butler says that startling jolt of reality was the inspiration behind the founding of company Image Vision - and later, the EyeGuardian app. "It initially started as an anti-sexting effort," he explained. From phones and now to Facebook, EyeGuardian lets parents connect into their child's social networking account, filtering images for nudity, inappropriate text, even suspect "friends." The app then emails a daily report to mom and dad. "We look at the images and messages and friends here are images that might be suspect, here is text that may have curse words," Butler said. But these days, they're focusing on taking internet security one step further - now focusing on filtering through potentially violent imagery. "It's something we're coming out with, gun recognition. Not that a gun is necessarily as an image is bad or good, but if you can connect that with other activities that they're posting, it could be insight into maybe this is someone who is getting ready to harm themselves," Butler said. Here, context is key. The software sifts through words and pictures to separate a family hunting trip - from something as serious as a potential school shooter. It's a concept they're starting to use to consult with school districts nationwide. After all, as Butler says, in the world of the internet it's not necessarily what kids are searching for - but who's looking for them. "Really the goal is to provide parents a tool to help them help their kids be safer on Facebook," he said.

Queen's Park Rangers set to complete loan deal for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jake Livermore
10:43am Monday 14th January 2013 in Spurs
Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is set to tie up a loan deal for Tottenham midfielder Jake Livermore in the next 48 hours.
Livermore has struggled to establish himself in Andre Villas-Boas' first team plans this season, making only three league starts so far this season.
Redknapp was keen on a permanent deal for the 23-year-old but Villas-Boas would only entertain a temporary option.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- I always hate when awards come rolling in at the end of the regular season on the eve of conference tournaments, because nobody pays attention to them. Everyone is consumed with what's up ahead, not just the conference tournaments but the NCAA Tournament. Awards get lost in the news cycle, and in some cases, that's a real shame.But in at least one case, I want to stop and take a longer look. Anyone who thought Russ Smith would be a first-team Big East performer when he arrived on campus, I need to report to Churchill Downs with me when the Spring Meet starts.Smith not only was voted first-team in the Big East, but has been named a third-team All-American by The Sporting News. Sure, he had a lengthy write-up in Sports Illustrated this season, and the "Russdiculous" nickname given to him by Rick Pitino has become almost a brand. But I think back to after his freshman year, when Pitino was advising him to transfer. Pitino said he had a phone conversation with Smith's dad, in which the two talked about the possibilities for Russ. Finally, they determined that he'd just stay one more year, see how it went, and leave after that if he wasn't going to see any playing time.Then came the Final Four season.But beyond all those awards, the best way to sum up Russ Smith's value might be in this one: In Ken Pomeroy's Player of the Year statistical ratings, Smith ranks No. 1 -- ahead of Cody Zeller, Trey Burke and everyone else.The award measures value and efficiency on both ends of the court, and takes out elements like hype and size of school.Smith, in Pomeroy's calculations, has been used on 31.6 percent of U of L's offensive possessions. That ranks 16th in the country. He has taken 32.7 percent of U of L's shots. That ranks 21st in the country. His steals rate is 42nd nationally. In fouls drawn per 40 minutes he ranks 28th.His 17.9 point-per-game scoring average is on pace to be U of L's highest since Reece Gaines in the 2002-03 season. Defensively, he's had at least three steals in 12 games this season.
With all the McDonald's All-American floating around here and in Lexington and Bloomington, that a guy like Smith has emerged to earn these kinds of accolades (and Victor Oladipo, as well), is a neat thing.He's heading home this week to play in the Big East Tournament. Chances are, people there will be looking at him in a whole new light.The rest of the nation already is.Copyright 2012 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

A "Best Spiritual Book of the Year." —Spirituality & Practice
Featured in the New York Times, on CBS Evening News
and on NPR's On Point and Here & Now
A deeply personal journey to interfaith collaboration that offers hope for an inclusive and healing way of being together in the world.
Too often religion seems to fuel more hatred than love, more conflict than collaboration. Interfaith Talk Radio's "interfaith amigos"—a pastor, a rabbi and an Imam—provide a rich understanding of the road to interfaith collaboration by sharing their stories, challenges, and the inner spiritual work necessary to go beyond tolerance to a vital, inclusive spirituality.
From their deep commitment and lived experience, they present ways we can work together to transcend the differences that have divided us historically. Together they explore:
Along with inspiring insights and encouragement for tapping into the promise of interfaith dialogue, they provide practical actions, additional readings and discussion questions to help you embody their revolutionary spirit of healing.

"Brings us something new: true and honest friendship as evidenced in tough talk and deep interspiritual sharing. Read this book and live it. Get your clergy to do the same."
—Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, The Sacred Art of Lovingkindness: Preparing to Practice

Question: I, like many others, read the novel Under the Dome and was sorely disappointed with the ending. I read an article about changes that are coming to the TV version. I was glad about that and am now going to give it a try. But I also read that it may become a series instead of a 13-episode miniseries. Is that true? I'd much rather this be a miniseries as opposed to a series lasting multiple seasons. The story doesn't really lend itself well to playing out over several years. Do you know if it will continue past 13 episodes? — Beth

HARRISBURG, DAUPHIN COUNTY—The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare is proposing a new asset test for those who are in need of food assistance.
In just a few years the number of people on the state`s food assistance program, SNAP, has gone from 1 million to 1.8 million people. So the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare is bringing back the asset test .
"Funding is so tight in government right now that we just need to make sure that we are running the best program possible, and we believe the asset test is one way to do that," says Anne Bale with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare
The asset test , which hasn't been used since 2008, uses a threshold test for a variety of one household's resources.
"Cash on hand, your bank information, and also your personal property. But you home is except, your car is exempt, but we`ll be looking at second cars and any other type of vehicles that you might have," says Bale
The proposed threshold sets the limits at $5,500 for households age 59 and under and $9,000 for households with older Pennsylvanians age 60 and above or disabled individuals.
And there seems to be mixed emotions about the asset test.
"I don`t think you should be eligible for food stamps because I think that there are people that don`t have anything truly and I think it`s more worthwhile and usable for them," says Andrea Padamonsky of Lemoyne
"A family of four whose breadwinner has recently been laid off, and they've saved $20,000 dollars for education, they would not be eligible for any help," says Kendal Hanna with the Central PA Food Bank
The Department of Public Welfare says the asset test should be in place by May.

Tom Doyle joins his Bucks County family and friends that are reaching out in their first major appearance since an October 2013 shooting on I95 in Virginia.
The shooting incident left him confined to a wheelchair.
"We've all been through a rough time so it's just terrific to see everybody," says Tom Doyle.
The beef and beer held at the Spring Mill Manor in Ivyland has all the staples to make a night feel special for a family that has been through such a tough time.
"This is totally overwhelming but we are so grateful, so grateful for everybody," says Betty Doyle.
Tom Doyle has been hospitalized for four months after someone fired a shotgun into their truck while they were on a family trip to Florida.
"We had no idea what happened to us. It went through the driver side window and hit my husband in the back and hit me in the face. At first we had no idea what it was. [We]Got ourselves over to the side of the road and our lives started from there," recalls Ms. Doyle.
Betty Doyle, a popular cross country coach at Archbishop Wood, now has three face surgeries under her belt but she still puts the focus on her husband.
She says, "I keep saying mine's a paper cut compared to what happened to him. We're just trying to get him moving again you know."
That's why the community assembled this event filled with raffles, silent auctions and shirts for sale.
"It's important to them because they need a lot of equipment they need a lot of care, they need a lot of support," explains fundraiser attendee.
There are more operations and hospital stays ahead but the family says being together is the most important thing right now.
"We're still so lucky. We're so blessed and we have the most amazing community," says, Doyles' daughter, Kristin Doyle.
The community support for the Doyles doesn't end here. A major golf outing has already been scheduled for July.

I remember when the NIMBYs were fighting against the Bryant Street bicycle boulevard. They made all the same arguments about traffic and pollution and noise that this new group of NIMBYs made. Fortunately, PTA groups and employers fought hard for the bicycle boulevard and all the arguments turned out to be BS.
Those winding routes through town that the NIMBYs are proposing are 10 times more dangerous than a bike path. Lots of turns in traffic are obviously much more dangerous for kids biking to school than straight car-paths.
That mid-block crosswalk argument is also BS. Maybe it is true of 60mph highways, but all the streets along this route are 25mph. Mid-block crosswalks on 25mph streets are safer than 4-corner crosswalks because cars cannot turn across your path to nail you. The #1 way that pedestrians are killed by cars is cars turning left across a crosswalk. Too many turning cars just don't pay attention to crosswalks and these kinds of collisions are avoided by mid-block crosswalks.
Just say no to NIMBYs. This project is a huge safety improvement for south-of-midtown child bicyclists and pedestrians. Don't let the NIMBYs push the route out of our neighborhood. A route north of Oregon Expressway is of no value to children living south of the expressway.

The first proposed dedicated bike route east/west route through town would be a boost to getting kids to school safely. Crossing Middlefield at Loma Verde and Colorado is not a safe place with all the bikes and pedestrians at school commute times. We really need this route and of course, some are protesting.
Typical Palo Alto, I hope we can get this route asap.

"Midtown resident Sheri Furman, who lives next to the creek on Greer Road said the discussions didn't include Midtown residents. "
But in her next sentence, Furman says that the city held public meetings. Were Midtown residents excluded from those meetings?
"Instead, they were across town at Terman Middle School"
How terrible. Having to travel to Terman!!! Through the wind, rain and snow , all those miles. No wonder she could not attend.
BTW, Sherri does not speak for all Midtown residents. I live in Midtown and have no problem with the plan.
Bottom line--Sherri Furman commands--the city council had better obey
