I suggest purchasing the PPV as it was a very entertaining card from top to bottom, but if you missed the event and would rather settle for a 30 second highlight of the main event, then we've got it covered as well. Here's ESPN's highlights of the UFC 134 main event bout with Anderson Silva giving another masterful performance, as he continues to cement himself as one of the very best MMA fighters in history.
Here's the detailed play-by-play from Brent Brookhouse's live blog of the event:
Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami - Round 1 - Leg kick by Silva early. Okami throws three punches and hits a lot of air. Okami lands a few short punches while Silva looks to lock up a muay thai clinch and they go back to distance. Nice right hand by Silva. Okami pushes Silva into the cage and Silva tries to lock up the clinch again. The struggle against the cage continues and Silva lands a sharp knee forcing Okami to shoot for the takedown and then back off. Silva starting to jab and now use head movement to avoid the punches from Okami. Head kick lands for Silva right before the round ends and that's enough to take the round on my card. 10-9 Silva.
Round 2 - Silva comes out hard with leg kicks and punches and he stands in front of Okami with his hands down, avoids a punch and drops Okami with a right hand. He tells Okami to stand up and starts again with the hands down and countering. Now Okami is afraid to throw punches at a guy standing in front of him with his hands down. Silva does it again and drops him with a punch. Silva follows up with some ground and pound to get the stoppage. Anderson Silva is so far above the rest of the middleweights in the world, it's not even funny. Right hand dropped Okami for that finishing flurry. Anderson Silva wins by TKO (punches), round 2.

More than 3,000 homes and businesses still don't have power after severe thunderstorms brought down trees and wires Wednesday.
The problems are mainly in Washington County. Route 40 in that county reopened before noon. It had been closed, along with some secondary roads, because of trees down.
In Granville a tree fell on top of a mobile home. The Red Cross is helping two people who lived in that home.
The Red Cross is also helping a woman in Cobleskill where the storm blew the roof off her home.
Officials in the Saratoga County town of Ballston say a lightning strike set fire to the four-story bellow tower on a local church. Firefighters extinguished the blaze in about two hours.
More severe storms are forecast for Thursday.

Sheriff Michael Lindsey Ray said inmates found a way to compromise the locking systems in the main jail of Canton, 50 miles southeast of Dallas.
The Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office did not report any escapes.
Inmates were moved to jails in Upshur, Kaufman, and Henderson counties after the defective locks were discovered Monday. Van Zandt County will pay these counties about $30 per day per inmate.
Ray says contractors will have to replace internal components of the locking system. The repairs could take up to two weeks.
The county's minimum security jail has another type of locking system and those prisoners were not affected.

summer perfection from Tibi
by haley sherif
I feel like each season a few particular collections hit the nail on the head as far as the perfect shape, color, and look. For the summer I've fallen in love with the entire Tibi collection. I'm biased towards the out of this world maxi skirts in various shades of pastel, but I'm also head over heels about the fun dresses, cute blouses, and cool trousers.
I think the color and shape of the newest Tibi collection make for the ideal on trend seasonal look. It's also a versatile collection with pieces that can be worn in the office and out. From workwear to music festivals Tibi has me covered and that's what's to adore about the brand. I can't wait to shop some favorite looks this weekend, until than think summer with these six new Tibi looks below, xo.

How to Sing Falsetto
Sing with only 1/4 of your vocal cords vibrating. Falsetto is described by some music educators as superhead or whistle voice. It creates a thin, yet bright sound that extends beyond the normal range.[1]
1Join a choir or find a good voice teacher who can evaluate your voice.Ad
2Understand that all people can sing falsetto with practice.
3Realize that there are two basic types of voices: head voice (comprised of 2 parts; full head voice & falsetto) and chest voice (comprised of 3 parts; bottom, middle & top). Everyone has both kinds.
- The chest voice is what we use when we're speaking, and is what males most often use.
- Know that to sing falsetto, your head voice is necessary.[2]
- The chest voice is what we use when we're speaking, and is what males most often use.
4Learn that in order to use it you need to breathe deeply from the diaphragm (to where your stomach goes out) and lift your eyebrows.Ad

If so, share what you know about how to stand up on your surfboard.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

- An easy way to tell which voice you're using is to hum the note you want to sing and wherever your body vibrates most is the voice you're using; being able to identify this allows you to explore further what you are capable of with each vocal position...
- Good breathing technique is essential for falsetto singing, some people are born with it, but don't let that dissuade you. Learning to breathe with your stomach i.e. your diaphragm will allow you to hold notes for longer and even control volume and power.
- The most important lesson is always to be comfortable with your own vocal style and to remember that imitation is the highest form of flattery...
- Although women can technically use a falsetto voice, it does not have the characteristic sound of a man's falsetto and is not distinguishable from the top of their head register.
- Do not try this without previous musical experience and an instructor. You may hurt your voice.

Bill to End Horse "Soring" Draws Lobbying, War of Words
Open Secrets.org, Monica Vendituoli on July 29, 2013
A bill introduced in April to end the practice that gives Tennessee walking horses their distinctive gait brought the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) to the Capitol last week to give a presentation on horse "soring."
Anything with a name like that seems unlikely to be a happy experience, right? As it turns out, some walking horses don't come by their high-stepping naturally or with the usual kind of training. Sometimes, it's the result of kerosene, mustard oil and other irritants, as well as heavy boots, chains and collars, applied to the horses' hooves and lower legs.
A personal note –
Habitat for Horses is here because you want us to be here. We are your hands when we guide a horse to safety. We are your tears when a horse takes its final breath. We are your smiles when a once skinny, broken spirited horse recovers and becomes adopted by a forever family.
We represent your heart, your love and your compassion for those horses that pass through our gate and into our hands.
Support us. Without your financial help, we couldn't do this. Without the grain, the hay, the farrier, without the fuel, the medicines, the vets, the horses that come through our gates would have no future. I know money is tight, but the horses need us, and we need you.
Please - Click HERE to donate
Habitat for Horses is a 501.c.3 nonprofit equine protection organization supported solely by donations. We have around 200 donkeys and horses under our care, plus one ornery, old mule. Most of them are here because law enforcement removed them from their previous owner. Our ability to rehabilitate and rehome them comes from the financial support of people like you. Please support us by making a donation for the horses we all serve. Click HERE to donate

Please realize that my mindset is flawed after flying down to Phoenix for the games. I alternate between extreme sadness and acceptance of things as they are. Hey, it is what it is.
I've met tons of quality Cub and Dback fans outside the ballpark. However last night was a horror story in the LF bleachers. Al, if that's the way the Cubs bleachers are, no thanks. I was embarrassed by a group 6 Cub fans who either swore every other word or were busy trying to provoke some Dback fan. It was a beer and bitching fest for them. While they don't represent even a small minority of fans, they're exactly what non Cub fans remember about us. By the way, they bailed in the 8th inning.
Excuse #1. We're trying too hard.
Nope. Can't happen. We're playing at the same intensity level we've played all year. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. All season we've been a terribly inconsistent team. We have flashes of brilliance and then periods of suckiness. Color us sucky right now.
Urban Legend #1.
You need veteran experience in the playoffs.
Nope. It makes no difference whether they're young or old. What does make a difference is their ability. It's a long season and it's foolish to expect a player who had a bad year to be golden in the playoffs because he's been there before.
Last night one of the Dbacks hit a medium deep fly ball down the LF line. It ended up being caught by someone in the first row. It was eminently catchable by Soriano. He didn't come close because he dogged it. Which gets me to my final point.
Pet Peeve #1.
I am so sick and tired of baseball players styling during the game. From the Sosa hop to the Soriano reverse walkaway, it's terrible. How many times have we seen a hitter assume it was going yard and instead having to bust it just to get to 2nd. As a fan, I don't need style points. I need victories. And if a player showing off causes the team to lose even 1 game because of his narcissism, then he has to stop the practice. Baseball is a team game. If you want personal goals, go into figure skating.

Let me start off by saying this is in no means intended to be a scouting report or an in depth analysis of Kirkpatrick because that'd be a waste of time since we've all (presumably) read countless reports on him to date. This is just something I've been pondering and figured I'd post it for all (if any) who care to take interest in it. If, at all, I'm completely wrong with my line of thinking feel free to let me know how you feel.
Not too long ago at the beginning of the Cowboys offseason (yes the very beginning, during the playoffs) I was a huge proponent of drafting a CB in round 1. Of course I had dreams of Claiborne initially, but those died fast because, well, reality set in. I then zeroed in on Dre Kirkpatrick, I loved his size and his aggressiveness. He was my favorite pick for the Cowboys up until the Carr signing. Post Carr signing Mark Barron (who was always number 2 on my wish list) edged ahead of him for obvious reasons. Dre only dropped to number 2 however, because you can never have too many CBs and I also fancied the possibility of the FS swap.
After reading the front page post on Dre K this morning I began thinking about Dre K and the fact that he could very well play Corner or Safety effectively. This led me to another train of thought. Why does he have to play either or? If he is as good a corner as is believed converting him full time to safety makes no sense. So why not just let him battle it out with the league's best wideouts every snap? Well here's why, he's not a complete shutdown corner. Not to say he won't become one, but he isn't, yet, and most corners struggle early in the NFL anyway. Besides, in Carr and Jenkins we have two good man cover corners to play on the outside every week.
Ok so then the FS switch seems to be a valid argument especially considering his size and his physicality, right? I don't think so, well not completely at least. I do love the idea of him roaming around deep center since he's so good in zone, I'd be exited to know he was manning the position. I have a different thought though. This is where Rob Ryan comes in play. It's been well advertised that Rob likes versatile aggressive players that can be lined up all over the field and play multiple roles and I think Kirkpatrik fits this perfectly.
Suppose we are facing a team with the big tall receivers and maybe Jenkins is having a tough time, so we mix it up and have Dre K cover him a bit to take away the receiver's height advantage. Also suppose he is the designated CB on taller receivers in the red zone were his, not all world, straight line speed can't be exposed but his height would be a great asset.
In another situation a TE could be killing us over the middle and again Dre's size and toughness would make a better match so have him kick in to Safety to cover the TE, since they are getting too fast for most LBs, and leave Sensy or Poole roaming the back end. From this position he'd be in excellent position to also help in run support since he enjoys the physical nature of the game and he is a willing takler. He'd also be in prime position to blitz seeing as that Ryan does send his DBs after the QB at a fairly decent rate.
If Ryan likes the way Carr, Jenkins and Scandrick are holding up against the wideouts and we aren't struggling against any TEs we could take advantage of his strengths in zone and drop him back to roam as a FS. I believe he'd grab more Ints as a FS because he looks like he does a good job diagnosing plays and I think facing the ball he'd be a beast. Of course if he doesn't pick off or deflect a pass I'd trust him to make a solid tackle all the same.
So that being said I don't see Kirkptrick's value as being just a Corner or a safety and I don't think he should be used in either role solely (at least not in Dallas). I'd love to see Rob Ryan take him and make him a hybrid of the two positions and have him as a wild card that the offense can't plan for because they won't know what to expect on every snap. Imagine once he really gets a grasp of the playbook and Ryan starts moving him around pre-snap, the QB wouldn't know his intentions until the ball is snapped, that could lead to a lot of confusion. I really feel, the more I think about it, that Dre could be one of the better DB's in this league if he is used correctly. If he's drafted as solely a shutdown #1 corner he'll be good, but not as good. What would he do with the faster, quick twitch guys making double moves on him?
So what do you guys think? Does this make sense or is it nutty? Is it something that would take some time considering it's a lot to ask of a rookie? Or is it a good way to actually transition him into the defense, by giving him situational responsibilities (just at various positions), sort of like a situational pas rusher? Could be a bit of both or just a horrible idea all together. Maybe this is just my mind's way of keeping busy for the next week, man I'm going crazy. Anyway, for those that read I hope you enjoyed and I hope it was at least minimally thought provoking.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Eyebeam has moved to Industry City in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Our new address is: 34 35th Street Unit 26 Brooklyn, New York 11232
After the first month, we are 31% funded on the 13-foot-high Gift Horse for the 01SJ Biennial. A good initial run, but its starting to feel a little tight, so please consider a Kickstarter donation to the Gift Horse project.
We have been busy working on the internal structure and final models in Sketchup. The skeleton proved to be an advanced wood project since the exterior printed digital panels (see model above) will be exactly fitted to make it look like giant-sized 3D model of a horse.

HTC One or Moto X ??? [UPDATED]
I have an upgrade (Sprint) and i need some advice as to if i should wait for the moto x even though the leaks seem pretty disappointing, or go with a black htc one and put the GE Rom because i am a lover of stock android. I am leaning towards the One because of the 1080p screen and im coming from a note 2 and i think that the moto x's 4.7 inch screen with about .3 taken up by software keys would be too small. Thanks in advance for any advice/help!
[Update] Well now that the moto x is real. What do you guys think?

DALLAS — Teresa Needham may not have loved her dog more than most. But when 10-year-old Tiffin was diagnosed with cancer, she was willing and able to do more than most to save his life.
She flew the dog to a veterinary hospital in Los Angeles specializing in a blood treatment that can cure lymphoma in dogs.
The procedure is a bone marrow transplant that uses the animal's own healthy cells and radiation to beat the cancer.
"We thought that if we don't do everything that's out there that there is to do, I don't think I could live with myself knowing that there could've been something that could've saved him," Needham said.
At first, the doctors said the risks for Tiffin were too high for this rare procedure. They said Tiffin was too small to survive, and his other health problems — including diabetes — made it too complicated.
But the Needhams insisted. And it's a good thing, because Tiffin survived the surgery.
He came home to Dallas on Thanksgiving, and so far, is doing well.
Most of Tiffin's hair is gone, though it will slowly grow back. And now, instead of a life expectancy of weeks or months, he may now have years.
Dr. Johnny Chretin of West Los Angeles Animal Hospital said this little dog taught some big lessons. "It is possible to do little animals," he said. "Just because they have other diseases, it's not a reason to not offer it to them."
But it's an offer, for many pet owners, that's not realistic. The procedure requires a two-week hospital stay and can cost up to $19,000.
So why did Teresa Needham spend so much money on the care of her pet?
"Because we love him," she said.
For the Needhams, there's no putting a price on that.

We all love our Bills. But I am curious, since we are a varied community of Bills fans, we are also sports fans. As such, I am curious as to what our secondary teams are. Many of us have a second (or even third) team in another sport that we root for almost as passionately (or just as passionately) as we do for the Buffalo Bills. I know that a lot of people are going to post "SABRES BABY YEEEAHH" so, just for this exercise, if the Sabres are your secondary team, your post is probably going to look a lot like a bunch of other people's.
So what teams do you passionately root for other than the Bills?My secondary team is the Utah Jazz. I live in Arkansas, but I can't stand anything Dallas, so I don't have a local pro team for any sport. I love to play jazz, so it was only natural for me to adopt the Utah Jazz as my favorite basketball team. Fortunately around the time I did, they went to two NBA Finals so it was easy to get interested and follow them more deeply. Andrei Kirilenko is some kind of hero to me.
Then there's the Razorbacks. I have been to Bills games but nothing will ever top the sheer bloodlust I get from cheering "Woooooooooooooooooooooooo PIG SOOIE!!!!!" with 70,000 other Hogs fans.
I like the Yankees in baseball somewhat. I don't have a passionate feeling about other teams.

Sensory Memory
Sensory Memory is a very brief recall of a sensory experience, such as what we just saw or heard.
Short-Term Memory
Short-term memory is that brief period of time where you can recall information you were just exposed to. Short-Term often encompasses anywhere from 30 seconds to a few days, depending on who is using the term.
Working Memory
Some researchers use the term working memory and distinguish it from short-term memory, though the two overlap. Working memory can be defined as the ability of our brains to keep a limited amount of information available long enough to use it. Working memory helps process thoughts and plans, as well as carries out ideas. You can think of the working memory as the short-term memory combining strategies and knowledge from the long-term memory bank to assist in making a decision or calculation.
Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory encompasses memories that range from a few days to decades. In order for successful learning to take place, information has to move from the sensory or the short-term memory to the long-term memory.
How Does Alzheimer's Affect Memory?
In Alzheimer's disease, one of the earlier symptoms is short-term memory loss. When discussing Alzheimer's, clinicians often use the term "short-term memory loss" to refer to a time period encompassing both extremely short times, such as 30 seconds, as well as the intermediate time period that may last up to several days.
Individuals with early signs of Alzheimer's may repeat questions frequently over the course of several hours, or tell the same story that they told five minutes ago. This type of short-term memory loss is often one of the first visible signs that an individual's cognitive functioning is declining. In contrast, the long-term memories of an individual with early Alzheimer's typically remain intact.Coping with early-stage Alzheimer's can be challenging. Individuals may know in their long-term memory that they've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and also may be aware of, and distressed by, their short-term memory deficit. Using these 6 tips to help store information in memory can be helpful in this stage.
As Alzheimer's progresses to the middle and late stages, the long-term memory is impacted as well. It becomes difficult for individuals to recognize people they've known for many years, such as close friends or family members. This can be hard for loved ones to handle, but reminding yourself that this is an effect of Alzheimer's disease, rather than something the individual is choosing, may help you cope and respond positively to your loved one.

The Scotland Office employs 20 policy officers with a responsibility for answering correspondence, despite receiving just 39 letters from MPs and Peers in the past year, Liberal Democrat research has revealed.
This compares with 228 letters sent to the Planning Inspectorate, 68 to the Rural Development Service and 51 letters to the Pesticide Safety Directorate.
However, the department still managed to spend almost £18,000 on stationery.
The Scotland Office also increased its spending on hospitality by 32%, spending over £23,000 in the past year. This is almost twice the amount spent by the Wales Office.
The department's press office has managed to write an average of one press release per week during the past year.
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Shadow Scottish Secretary, Alistair Carmichael MP, who uncovered the figures, said:
"As tensions between Westminster and Holyrood grow, the Scotland Office appears to be more concerned with hosting soirées than communicating with Edinburgh.
"Employing twenty staff to write an average of two official letters each year is indefensible.
"The Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Offices should merge to create a Department for Nations and Regions, with a full time seat at the Cabinet table."

Revoke Rachel's Driver's License!
Upon seeing Rachel Wagner getting her driver's license on February 19, 2010, it is only after a very ominous and serious reconsideration, that we now believe Rachel's license MUST BE REVOKED. A quick look at these newly uncovered tenets will convince you to sign the petition. If we receive at least 47 signatures, Rita Wagner and James Wagner are bound by parental law and the tax code of Ohio to put her license through a document shredder and force her to attend Wagner College. She will receive a full-ride scholarship and major in Hogwarts--and we're not talking the Harry Potter kind. Tenet 1: She is the baby of the Wagner family. Tenet 2: She has behaved like a brat. Tenet 3: She is a toddler. Tenet 4: We all know all 16 year olds aren't old enough to drive. Tenet 5: Bratty toddler babies should not be allowed to drive. Tenet 6: Rachel drives a car like an choir director drives a pipe organ. Tenet 7: If Rachel had a dream car, it would be a pink and black station wagon. Tenet 8: No one with so little respect for aesthetics should be allowed to drive. Tenet 9: Rachel wants to purchase new car stereos-turtle, turtle-so that she can listen to "zach and cody's" new cd, entitled: "Bootylicious White Twins". Tenet 10: Zach and Cody should not be allowed to drive, thus, Rachel Wagner should never be allowed to drive. IF AGREED, SIGN BELOW:

RENO, Nev. (AP) - They didn't need any ambulances, but they could've used some fries.
What looked like a potentially grim mess Thursday on U.S. Interstate 80 in Reno, Nev., was just the aftermath of a wreck involving a semi-trailer truck hauling thousands of bottles of Heinz ketchup.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports no one was hurt when the truck driver swerved to avoid another vehicle and hit a bridge in the median on the west edge of town. The crash ripped open the trailer, dumping the load and snarling traffic more than an hour.
Nevada Patrol Sgt. Janay Sherven said there was "red everywhere." She told the newspaper, "No bodies, no people, just ketchup."
State transportation crews used snowplows to help clear the highway connecting Reno to Lake Tahoe. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

What up Mutherfukers? I come to my favorite group of MMA and combat sports degenerates to crowd-source a simple question: how should I get my competitive combat sports fix? Or more specifically, should I join a BJJ gym?
via bigdaddyrugby.files.wordpress.com
Before you go to the comments and just type "yes," let me give you some background that might be relevant:
1) I am old. Rhymes with "warty" old. I work out daily, so I'm not hopeless, but I don't heal nearly as fast as I used to.
2) I have a wife, little kid and busy-ass job. I can probably give martial arts two days a week: max. Maybe one.
3) My boxing coach, who was better than the best thing ever, just retired. I loved the guy, because he was serious, put me through the paces, gave me the combat fix I needed (if not in a hugely competitive manner) and also left me reasonably certain that I'd wake up the next day still remembering my name.
4) I ultimately quit competitive taekwondo, not because I stopped loving it, but because I made a calculation that given my job, which requires the copious use of my brain, I couldn't really afford to be getting kicked hard in the head on a regular, or even semi-regular basis.
5) I have a surgically repaired knee that I'm pretty protective of. Six months or a year of recovery without exercise is not an option for me at this point.
All of that said, I'm not a shrinking violet either. I don't mind having violence inflicted on me in the right setting, and I don't mind geting dirty/bloody.
So how about it? With all those limitations, is it even worth it for this old dog to try to learn new, grapply tricks? Or should I just buy a speed bag for my garage and just keep living vicariously through you dudes?

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #50 (March 2011):
A full-on collaboration with importer Vanberg & Dewulf, with their sights on a hoppy Belgo-American Strong Golden Ale. Lacing from rim to end is epic, and a spectacular pale golden clarity shows off the bubbles. Faint oily hop resin meets a dry malt breadiness, with nutty yeast and spicy alcohol in the nose. Amazingly drinkable and refreshing mod- erate fluffed body. Hoppy with some sweet fresh-cut grass and herbal flavors. Bubble gum? Medicinal phenols are the second coming of bitterness here, though all is kept balanced with the dry maltiness laying down a beery blanket. Grain and hops pull equally in the dry finish. Super drinkable for an 8-percent ABV beer.

Happy to get to try this one on tap at the Birdsall House in Peekskill, NY
Pours hazed light apricot, fine bubble off white head, leaves lots of low sheeting and high lace.
Fruit filled nose with hints of yeast
Nice crisp hop bite, with cirtic fruit and then a dry finish. Quality creation. Well worth a try

Checkout belgianexperts.com for a nice detailed story of how this beer came about. Brewery Ommegang's founders visited the Scheldebrouwerij and they callaborated on this beer. Pours pale golden almost a clouded pils like color, bright golden with hop particles suspended throughout my chalice. Big effervescent bright white head rises above the rim of my glass and holds together nicely. Chunky belgian style lacing evenly coated on the sides of the glass. Nose is really nice subtle spiciness, grassy, citric based nose from the noble hops. Pale malts bring out a nice breadiness and between the yeast and possible spice additions a nice layer of tart funkiness tickles the nares. Flavor is heavy on hop bitterness and perfume like spiced notes from yeast utilized here. Rustic inspired Beligan ale with an American dose of noble hops, so of course the grassy/lemon/herbal contents show up in each sip. This was fresh out of a new box that they were stocking the shelves with at the Market District Giant Eagle, but I didn't see any dates on the bottles or the box. Mouthfeel is dry with the hop bitterness really laying it down, and a touch of alcohol makes it through. Light to medium bodied ale with high carbonation levels really pulling off that Belgian effervescent texture. Drinkability is solid nice drinkable pale golden hopped up offering that has to pair well with food.

On-tap at the Brick Store. I would certainly classify this as a Belgian IPA as opposed to a BSPA.
Pours a slightly hazy golden-copper color with a 1.5-finger bright white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of bright pilsner malts with equal amounts of light Belgian candi sugar and earthy and slightly herbal hops. Also present are sweeter booze-soaked apricot aromas.
Tastes very similar to how it smells, though even more robust. Crisp pilsner malt flavors kick things off and are joined almost immediately by moderately sweet apricot flavors. Midway through the sip slight pear flavors make a brief appearance before giving way to herbal and slight citrus hops. The hops and light malts carry through to a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with active carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have another.
Overall this is one of the better-balanced Belgian IPAs I've had in a while, everything in here a nicely done and it's well worth a shot.

This beer is a very light gold in color with absolute clarity and continuous activity. A tall, creamy white head sits in very appealing fashion on top and leaves lots of sticky lacing behind it.
The smell is, esssentially, bubble gum. I think I smell it more strongly in here than I ever have before. It's an element I've really come to appreciate from the Belgian yeasts, and it mingles pretty nicely with the delicate malts/hops balance and the grains underneath. This really needs the pale malts and floral notes from the hops with just a touch of citrus to come out in order to work and, fortunately, they do.
Plenty of flavor and complexity is present in this beer. Up front, I get the bubble gum, sugars and grains I expect from the nose. This mingles with a pleasant floral hops element and pale malts offering breads. There's a touch of spiciness as well. Hops, malts and yeast could all be a bit more pronounced, but this is a good beer.
The mouthfeel is a touch crisp and carbonation is moderate. The body is light to medium and dry, with sugars and malts adding to the texture while the hops and yeast contribute to the dryness with perhaps a boost from the paleness of the malts.
I'm glad I got a crack at this limited release, particularly since I'd been eyeing it for awhile without pulling the trigger. Thanks to Matt at the Beer and Wine Cave.

750ml capped bottle. No date or batch code.
Served cold into a goblet, Hop Ruiter is a hazy golden yellow with thick white soapy head. Good retention and a fair bit of lacing left behind.
Aroma is the only mild let-down for this beer. It isn't overly hoppy and smells more like dirt and grass.
Flavor is much better though. It has a very nice light malt body, mildly sweet up front leading to a more bitter hoppy end. Nice grassy, minty, floral quality to the hops. I believe this is appropriately categorized here - Not quite hoppy enough to be a Belgian IPA.
Mouthfeel is medium-light in body and well-carbonated. Perfectly balanced and easy-drinking.
Overall a really enjoyable summer Belgian beer.

The things you can learn from a beer label! Apparently the town of Turnhout, where De Scheldebrouwerij is located, is the playing card capital of the world. Hence the label design. Huh.
A head like that can only come from Belgium...or so it seems. It's a blinding white color, it's foamy, creamy, thick and about as stiff as Styrofoam. Big swaths and slashes of lace. And the liquid is a cloudy pale yellow color, almost witbier-like.
Pretty fragrant aroma -- clean, light, flowery; hops are buoyant and crisp in their aromatic personality; and despite the promise of "a bit of funk" on the label, maybe it's in the taste, because the yeast here may be earthy, but it's polite and pretty clean.
Flavor-wise I'm reminded of a witbier crossed with an authentic German hefe-weizen crossed with a Belgian saison crossed with a well-hopped American pale ale or IPA at most. Even a pilsner-ish angle here, with that super-clean, biscuit-like malt character. Overall it's straw-like and grassy -- but not astringent -- along with some banana, some clove, a faint dash of white pepper, white grape, pear juice, and floral/citrus elements from the hops. All is well-balanced and extremely clean, even with the prominent and earthy yeast personality (which still doesn't deliver much funk...).
Merging appropriately with the taste is a clean, airy, slick and pleasing texture. Crisp and somewhat dry, it almost produces a pucker but never veers quite that far. As with every other element of this beer, very likable though not mindblowing.
Not quite as assertive a hop personality as the label seems to promise, but maybe I've been OD'ing on the Double IPAs lately. Nah, the Belgians just take the American hop attitude and inject their own thing into it, resulting in interesting, refreshing, super-drinkable beers like this. Belgians...gotta love 'em.

Thanks to my friend Dave for sharing this. I thought it was a classic example of a Belgian IPA and it reminded me a lot of Houblon Chouffe. The flavor and aroma are a big mix of spicy Belgian phenols and mild candied fruit with herbal citrus and peppery floral notes. Like most Belgian IPAs, the bitterness is lower than an American equivalent, but it's a fun beer to drink and pretty tasty overall.

Picked this up at the Biergarten in Jenks
Pours a very effervescent & golden color with 4 fingers of pearl colored head, slight haziness. Great lacing & head retention
S: Pineapple, lemon, slight doughyness that later reminds me of Kings Hawaiian Bread as it warms
T: Grapefruit, lemons with a whisper of funk up & boozey pineapple front. Grapefruit & a touch of grassyness as this warms along with a little white grape, mild pineapple that turns bolder slightly acidic once warm. Finishes tropical with bready & grainy & with a kiss of funk
MF: Creamy, slightly chewy, a bit of coarseness in the body as well, nice balance for what this is
A nice Belgo-American PA, by no means cheap, but interesting & damn tasty. Pretty easy to drink for what it is...

Pours a hazy golden straw color with some honey highlights. There are some small yeast floaters floating about. The head is pure white and settles into a chunky cap with spotty lacing.
The aroma is of tart apples, perfumey yeast, clove, and light bubblegum. Spot on BSPA but don't really pick up any hops which I expected from reading the label. Perhaps a bit of a peppery spice from the hops. Still smells very good.
The flavor is of a pale malt with candi sugar sweetness. There are some floral and perfumey notes from the yeast; light bubblegum fruitiness. Perhaps a touch of tropical fruit and coriander. It has a peppery and grassy finish from the use of noble hops. It has a classic belgian flavor but does miss on the hoppiness.
The feel is light to moderate with very fizzy carbonation; it actually burns a bit. Sweet on the palate but does have a light dry and bitter characteristic.
A very enjoyable BSPA. I was expecting more of a Belgian IPA from the label but can't complain too much. Good beer.

Hazy pale straw color with a bright white and active head. 1 year of age. Musty and funky nose. Still extremely bright body held up. Lots of sweet bright fruit with a dry finish with a bit of alcohol heat. All hop presence is gone. The beer still holds up pretty well as a strong Belgian gold ale but is definitely better fresh. Alcohol heat becomes a bit more prevalent and flavors become a bit flatter and sweeter.

From the 25 ounce bottle. Sampled on August 10, 2011. It pours cloudy yellow with a huge, pillowly, fluffy white head so it clearly looks like it supposed to for its style. On those nose there is a complex combination of slightly sweet malts, yeast, toast,and pear or apple fruits. The hops are muted. The body falls in a little more than thin; not watered down but not heavy. The taste has a tart sour character with a nice dose of overripe fruit but a more laid back dry hopped endings. There are other Belgian Strong Ales I prefer but this one was not bad.

Let Me Out Biography
It's the middle of February 2008 and a crowd of friends has gathered up in a rather small practice area in the city of Kumla to watch the first ever performance of Swedish hardcore-punk act Let Me Out, not more than six months before had the band start to practice on a regular basis. After this, their first show, things happened faster than anyone could have anticipated.
The band play their first "real" show in a bar in Västerås not more than a week after, and heads in the studio to record their first demo the week after that. More shows follows and only a month had passed when Japanese record label Akashic Records contacts the band eager to release the demo as a split release. Let Me Out suggests their good friends in hardcore act First Cut and the split is released in May.
Only weeks following the release, in June, the band heads out on a 15 date long European tour taking them thru Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, England and Belgium. Sadly, the van carrying the band broke down and the tour was cut short, but good news awaited the band back home, where the band signed with labels Dead Vibrations Industry (Swe) and Warbird Entertainment (US) as well as an arrangement being set up with Onward Agency to book future European tours. After that one could say things have kept on rolling with new records, tours and shows.

CATEGORIES Movies'The Woman in Black,' also known as Daniel Radcliffe's first post-Potter project, doesn't come out until next February, but that doesn't mean CBS Films can't step up its marketing push for the movie. The company recently released a creepy new trailer, and now offer an even creepier animated poster. The image depicts two children with their eyes blotted out, which is downright frightening on it's own. Worse, when you scroll your mouse over the photo an eerie -- well, you'll just have to see for yourself. Head over to EW to get unreasonably freaked out.
'The Woman in Black,' which hits theaters Feb. 3, 2012, follows a young lawyer (Radcliffe), who travels to a small town on business and discovers a woman's ghost haunting the village.

(It's a little over-dramatic, I know, but there is no real football news)
As has been well-documented, forward Devonta Pollard (6-8, 205) is the last 2012 5-star basketball player to not sign. Despite having three scholarships open, Coach Anthony Grant has not signed anyone. Pollard is seemingly the one and only target.
He would be a perfect replacement of JaMychal Green without the drama (DP is a good kid) and most likely a starter from Game 1.
This has been a crazy process:
- He did not sign on the LOI deadline (May 16) which is rare. No explanation as to why since he had completed all his visits in April.
- There has been absolutely NO news or rumors or anything as to which way he is leaning. In this age of the internet, that is an amazing phenomena.
- There could be some dark horses. The guy from Georgetown who was recruiting him (BTW, Pollard probably would not even be considering Georgetown if Bama had not played them this past year in B'ham and he saw them beat the Tide) is now at LSU and they could be in the running. MSU was his favorite until Stansbury got canned. With the passing of so much time, it is possible they could be back in his good graces.
The big thing Bama has going for them is that they are close to his hometown of Porterville, MS. He is VERY close to his widowed mother and word is that she would move to the town where he attends college.
The addition of Pollard would be a BIG jump forward for the program. Not getting him would leave the team with 10 scholarship players and NO real shooting forwards. Nick Jacobs is the ONLY other forward on the team but he is a power forward.

Brian May's charity might buy Exmoor Estate
7:00pm Thursday 22nd May 2014 in News By Danielle Morris
A WEST Somerset property which falls in the badger cull territory could be made into a nature reserve.
Save Me, a conservation charity set up by former Queen guitarist Brian May, is looking at the Chargot Estate in Exmoor National Park.
The £7 million shooting estate is up for private sale. If Save Me did purchase the property, it could dent Defra's plans to continue the badger cull in West Somerset, but its location is not the main reason for the charity's interest in purchasing the estate.
Anne Brummer, chief executive of Save Me, said: "We buy properties for conservation that are over 500 square acres.
"Our land agent alerted us to the property and is looking in to it for us.
"It does of course fall into the cullzone, but that is not a reason as to why we would be interested in purchasing it.
"We don't purchase properties for emotional reasons, we purchase them to carry out our conservation work.
"A report will need to be complied first and we have to take into account many different things before I can even show it to Brian who will then say yes or no."
Mr May has been an active opponent to the cull, which was rolled out in Somerset and Gloucestershire last year.
The rock legend even led a rally of 250 people at Somerset College last June against plants to kill badgers.
Save Me was set up in 2010 when David Cameron announced he would try and bring back fox hunting by repealing the ban.
The conservation charity now has five land holdings countrywide and as well as looking at Chargot Estate, is also looking at a large piece of land in Devon.
At this stage, only Save Me officials and staff have been involved in considering Chargot.

Item: Mixed Effect and Spatial Correlation Models for Analyzing a Regional Spatial Dataset
Title: Mixed Effect and Spatial Correlation Models for Analyzing a Regional Spatial Dataset
Proceedings: Proceedings Whistler 2008 International Snow Science Workshop September 21-27, 2008
- Randall S. Mullen [ Crazy Mountain Research, Bozeman, MT ]
- Karl W. Birkeland [ U.S. Forest Service National Avalanche Center, Bozeman, MT ]
Date: 2008-09-26
Abstract: Understanding the spatial variability of snow at many different scales is critically important for avalanche forecasting. This research uses new techniques to reanalyze an existing spatial dataset collected in southwest Montana's Bridger Range during the 1996-97 winter. Recent developments in statistical software have greatly increased the ease with which mixed effects and spatially correlated models can be run. Employing such advanced statistical procedures can lead to more beneficial use of available data sets and a more efficient use of limited financial funding. We reanalyzed the data using recently developed packages in SAS and the freely available software package R. The generalized linear model provides a suitable framework for categorical and / or dependent response variables. We analyzed the data using a fixed effect repeated measures model, a random effect clustered data model, and a spatially dependent fixed effects model using normally distributed continuous data. In addition, using the GLIMMIX procedure in SAS, we analyzed the data using a spatially dependent - random effects model with multinomial errors. This method allows for analysis of untransformed ordinal data, such as the data created when performing Rutschblock and stuffblock tests. Comparisons to the original analysis and suggestions for improving analytical efficiency are discussed. Our analyses help to provide a methodological context for future analyses of similar regional spatial data.

Ice dance Anthea hails 'best bum'
4:08pm Friday 11th January 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Anthea Turner has said her stint in Dancing On Ice will have been worth it even if she is kicked off the show this weekend because it has given her "the best bum I've ever had".
The 52-year-old presenter said the tough training regime had helped her look better than ever.
She told ITV1's Lorraine show: "The toning of the body - ice skating - it's skater bum, it's amazing. I don't care even if I crash out on Sunday, I have had three months of the best bum I've ever had since I was somewhere in my 20s. In fact, even in my 20s it probably wasn't this good."
But she admitted her dyslexia had affected her performances, saying: "I think my biggest problem has been - and we've spoken about it - I am dyslexic and dyslexics never know their right from their left. And I've had terrible trouble and the coaches are going bonkers at me going 'Do you know your right from your left?'. 'I do, just give me a moment on this and I'll get it'."
She added: "Learning to skate has been fabulous. I've got bruises everywhere but learning to skate - amazing."

I hope she tucked it away for little whatsamajiggers' college fund, 'cause she's going to need it. h/t Taegan.
Rielle Hunter has gone quiet after less than hoped-for sales of her memoir — she's scheduled no additional tour dates to promote her tell-all about her relationship with John Edwards, "What Really Happened." After a serious media blitz, which included interviews with ABC's Chris Cuomo and appearances on "The View" and "Piers Morgan Tonight," Hunter, the mother of Edwards' daughter, Quinn, has sold 6,000 copies of her story, Bookscan told Page Six — enough to crack the New York Times best-seller list but "not big enough to make the major New York houses sorry" for not choosing it, Publishers Weekly said.
I will rejoice seeing this piece of crap in remainders bins tout suite. Lots of words to describe her, none that I'll demean myself by saying.
Rielle Hunter, the former mistress of John Edwards and the mother of their 4-year-old daughter, has written what the publisher promise to be a revealing memoir hitting the shelves later this month.
What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me is being billed as a tell-all about the events behind the dramatic downfall of Edwards, whose political corruption trial ended Thursday with an acquittal on one charge and a mistrial on others.
Via Mediaite who seems to think this is some big scandal, MSNBC paying TONS of money to laud Rachel. Let's put it this way boys, if there was a person with a brain over at Fox who wrote such a widely praised book, ole Rupe would be devoting the entirety of one of his schlock papers to pimp that intellect.
Hell, they'd probably light up the Empire State Building with their mug too! (click to make larger)
That line says exactly what I wanted to- "The more we normalize it, the more accepted it becomes".
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) A support group for gay military service members launched an online magazine to provide information about pending repeal of the Pentagons dont ask, dont tell policy, and printed copies could be on large bases by May, the groups co-director said Monday.
An active-duty Air Force officer who is the co-director of OutServe said the magazine of the same name seeks to raise awareness that the change is coming. He uses the pseudonym JD Smith because he is gay and has lingering concerns about whether he could be discharged before the policy is fully implemented.
The magazine helps set the tone, the idea, that its actually going to happen and normalizes it, he told The Associated Press on Monday. The more we normalize it, the more accepted it becomes.
The magazine also will include articles about different OutServe chapters and information of interest to gay military members. Smith said group members believe the visual presence of a magazine will highlight that gays already serve proudly in the military.
SHE WILL NEVER GO AWAY. I was going to use that editorial cartoon for tomorrow, but it feels really appropriate.
NEW YORK — The publisher of Sarah Palin's forthcoming book filed a lawsuit against Gawker Media on Friday for leaking pages of "America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag" before its release next week.
The legal complaint was filed Friday in federal court in Manhattan, said a spokeswoman for HarperCollins Publishers. The filing came two days after Gawker published images of 21 of the book's pages and its dedication page. In response, Palin tweeted, "Isn't that illegal?"
Her publisher contends it is. The lawsuit asks that Gawker be banned from what it terms "further copyright infringement" and that Gawker deliver the source material to the publisher so it can be destroyed. HarperCollins is also seeking financial damages.
At least one source is saying the white powder was found in fan mail addressed to Bristol.
LOS ANGELES — The FBI says it is investigating the discovery of a threatening letter containing white powder that was received at CBS Studios in Los Angeles.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says an initial screening indicates the substance was not hazardous, but the letter will be transported to a regional lab for further testing.
KCAL-TV reports the powder was found in the mailroom for the ABC show "Dancing With the Stars," which is staged on the lot at CBS.
I really do remember back to a time when I was one of the few people in the world who knew who Sarah Palin was, only because she made Craig Ferguson an honorary Alaskan. Life was good.
Dude, there has to be a better way.
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service says it questioned and released an overexuberant fan of President Barack Obama who had tossed a paperback book near the president at a Philadelphia rally on Sunday.
Spokesman Ed Donovan said the man had written the book and hoped the president would read it. Donovan said agents concluded the man posed no danger.
Obama seemed not to notice the book that landed near him on an outdoor stage after he finished speaking to a large crowd Sunday. The president had turned his back to shake hands with people on another side of the stage.
