Pours a clear gold color with a two finger foamy head which quickly fades to 1/2 finger and holds, leaving spotty lacing. (I poured the sediment in later, and the beer had a cloudy lemon color then.) The aroma has tart lemon, wheat, green apple skin, AND SOME FUNK.
The taste is tart, with some unexpected sweetness at the end. There is tart lemon, wheat, green apple skin, and some funk.
Light bodied with high carbonation. Leaves a dry, sticky feeling in the mouth, with a lightly bitter aftertaste. After two disappointing Berliner Weissbiers, I found this one, which I like quite a bit.

First of all, 1809's bottle is great. I love the design and little history lesson included on it. The beer is brewed in a very non-traditional manner. The mash is hopped, and the resulting wort is not boiled. The beer is fermented with the presence of lactobacteria. I bet the brewer adds a controlled bacteria culture, but I suppose historically this beer was sour because of the wort went into fermentation without being boiled.
Totally unlike any German beer I've tried. I would compare it to a Belgian wit, but that is a stretch in itself. Appearance is pale straw, and a little unappetizing.
The use of lactobacteria in fermentation gives it a pervasive, though not dominant sourness. It is a wheat beer, and there is a certain hefe quality to it (banana/clove) as this is unfiltered. Carbonation is high; mouthfeel is effervescent and crisp, with a peculiar aftertaste. The taste is perhaps powdery? with a minor fruitiness (green apple present - acetaldehyde, but not from spoilage because this bottle tastes very fresh). I am a huge fan of sour beer, but 1809's sourness just can't be compared to that of a Belgian.
I really liked this beer. And would be interested in trying it with the raspberry or woodruff syrup that Berliners drink it with.

Lovely... hazy pear gold body produces a thin but noisy finger of head that settles down quickly, leaving a slender collar - just enough to leave some lace.
Dry, fruity yeast type of funk, some faint lemon peel, white grape, green apple, subtle funk the whole way through.
Soured apple cider, would make for a beautiful introduction to the sour beer world - finishes dry and clean, nice.
Infinitely drinkable. Great next to a slice of pizza.

Had this in bottle at The Metropolitan in Baltimore. I've only had a few (maybe 3) berlinerwisses in my life so I though this would be a good opportunity to taste another example of a hard to find, not often brewed style. The appearance was what I would expect from a wisse; bubbly white head and golden straw clear body. The smell was very light except for the hint of funk I was hoping would indicate some sourness in the flavor. Ahh yes the hint of sourness on the finish was there, and pretty well balanced as well. It's just enough funk that other flavors are not over powered and the beer doesn't require a lot of other ingredients to compensate for balance. Mouth feel is light, watery and refreshing. Drinkability is a little above average just because it's not a session beer to me, but I would start a session with one anytime. I also like the mission of this brewer; to bring old obscure styles back to life, but do it true to form, history and original recipes. Simple plan yet very effective.

A: poured into an aventinus glass. Body is bright yellow, a few floaties. Head was short lived but about a finger or so thick and bright white.
S: a bit of wheat. A mix between banana, a tart aroma that reminds me of lemon a little bit.
T: tart, a little spiciness from the yeast. There is some banana and clove as well. Tartness seems to hide any noticeable hop.
M: very light a crisp, tart mixed with high carbonation makes this really refreshing
O: only thing that could make this a little better is to make it a little more tart, otherwise great all around.

This beer poured a cloudy straw color and formed a huge foamy white head that refused to go away but eventually did, coating the glass with latticed lace. A heavy amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of hops, banana, clove and yeast. The flavor was of hops, citrus and clove. The body is light and the finish is tart. Similar to in some ways to a hefe, but definately different flavor.

Chilled bottle into a glass, consumed after a nice bike ride...
A: Poured a hazy straw body with a billowing off-white head. It fills the tulip and leaves rings of sticky lace around the glass as it recedes. The milky look is something I prize in wheat-based beers.
S: This smells more like a hefeweizen than a Berliner Weiss; it's yeasty, with bubblegum and banana. Just a light aromatic lemon tartness. If I hadn't known this was a BW going into it, I probably would have missed that element of the aroma entirely.
T: However, even tasting this blind would have clued me in to the style. It leads with hefeweizen flavors: mild bubblegum, tons of banana and yeast, but it closes with a distinct lemon tartness and light sourness that alludes to the Berliner roots. A touch of clove in the aftertaste.
M: Light-bodied; crisp. Well carbonated and appropriately drying.
O: This was incredibly refreshing (given the circumstances, that was a major selling point). I would gladly buy another.

Very carbonated, slightly hazy pale straw yellow body with a thick, fizzy white head. Citrus notes in the aroma with a slight hint of light malts; lemony. Tart, tangy, citrus, acidic, lemon-lime taste. Very light bodied, effervescent, bright and tingly on the tongue; clean and dry finish.
A spritely, lively beer. Light and zesty in character. A great beer for warm weather patio or biergarten lounging.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with fizzy white head that fades quite rapidly, leaving no lace. Big bubbles rise to the surface, looking a little like yellow soda water. Apparently this is within the bounds of the style, and this is an otherwise very good beer, so not so bad, I guess. Yeast, lemon, lemon zest, and cloves on the nose, along with a hint of white grapes. Maybe I just couldn't pick it all up, but it wasn't too strong. It definitely was pleasant though.
Taste has a bit of a tart edge to it, some wheat and pale malts, some lemon zest. I feel that it is slightly restrained, though quite refreshing. It's almost like a starter sour--not quite as tart as a good gueuze, but it has some similar flavors. MF is light and bubbly, not as dry as I would have expected and potentially preferred.
Very refreshing drink, I am happy to have tried it. At $4.99 a pop, I might have to grab one to put in the cellar to see how it develops. Delicious, easy drinker, a style that I might have to explore more.

A - Pours a pale golden yellow with a streaming rush of bubbles and a 2 finger white head that left a layer of suds behind.
S - Tart lemon and wheat with a slight hint of banana and a touch of sour.
T - Bready wheat malt and tart lemon mixed with banana and a yeasty flavor followed by a sour bready finish.
M - Crisp and refreshing with high carbonation and a dry finish.
D - Tasty. Poured the yeast in half way through and the only difference I noticed was the clarity.

Pours a very pale straw color, cloudy with all the yeast, with a big fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Aroma resembles some wheat beer characteristics, a little citrus and clove, but there's a lot more twang here, some acidity. Taste is very tart, mouth puckering with a touch of sour. Lots of citrus acidity that resembles lemon juice. A drastic departure from most wheat brews, but still retain some of the defining characteristics of that style. Another top notch brew from Weihenstephan.

Poured into a Chimay goblet.
A - Pours a nice pale golden straw color that is nice and hazy with a good .5 inch white head that recedes quickly and leaves a thin film.
S - Very nice wheat aroma comes up quick with some mild malt sweetness and a bit of a lemony fresh scent. A bit on the midl so.
T - Very tart and refreshing up front. Lemon and citrus peel up front with some mild. There are some nice wheat hints on the back end and some mild yeast as well. Very much a sour beer nice and tart but refreshing in this record August heat.
M & D - Nice and light with good crisp carbonation. Delicious and refreshing. Very drinkable.

A- Poured into an oversized snifter.... starts with a huge white head that disappears very quickly until there is just a light layer only partly covering the top of the straw colored liquid. The beer has a very consistant flow of bubbles rising throughout
S- Has a very tart dry aroma
T- Very dry taste, with some tartness coming through mid swig and becoming bolder through the finish
M- Light body with lots of carbonation
O- A nice easy to drink beer perfect for summer. I had hoped or expected this to be more tart then it was... not bad but not what I was hoping for

Quick notes from Tigris Beverage/g.housen Tasting earlier today. 500mL brown glass pry-top bottle.
Super pale yellow with thin white head that falls quickly. Nose is huge compared to the appearance: white smoke, rocks and gravel, and some barnyard funk. Palate is crisp and dominated by pear notes (like peary). Tart and earthy. Not a lot of wheat character. Very clear and clean finish.

The Bruery Provisions
Orange, CA
Clear golden yellow with a large, somewhat persistent, near-white head. This doesn't leave much stick down the glass but is altogether a very pretty beer.
The aroma is very nice and perfectly appropriate for the style: wheat, lemon, moderate acidic sourness, and light grain.
The flavor is similar to the aroma and quite delightful. A lovely combination of wheat, lemon, pear, green apple, and moderate sourness combine for an incredibly easy drinkable berliner.
Thin to medium bodied with high carbonation. Perfectly appropriate.
Just lovely.

Pours an incredibly hazy orange-yellow with an effervescent white head that dissipates quickly. Aromas are typically hefe, with a lot of banana and clove character, backed by an unmistakable citric tartness. This doesn't reflect the taste, where the acidic sourness sticks out over all. Nice sour apple character that mostly masks the banana notes. Dry, tart finish. The light-medium body with heavy carbonation goes well with the flavors to make this quite refreshing.

Pours a light, cloudy, lemon yellow in to a Schwelmer Weizen glass. Lots of foam on the first pour, not as much when the yeast was poured in. Body is almost a pastel yellow against the orangy tendrils of yeast that slowly descend. Looks similar to a Witbier.
Odor is slightly musty, barnyard hay, and grain. I've had many Hefeweizens when they are past their prime, and this is reminiscent of that, unfortunately. Not offensive, but not entirely pleasant.
Taste redeems the lacking aroma. Nice citric lemony tartness up front, followed by a mellow wheaty finish. The tartness is unique to the style, and seems to enhance the drinkability.
Slight prickly quality to the carbonation, with a mild creaminess to the mouthfeel. A nice warm weather quaffer. The price is a little prohibitive though, at $5.49 per .5L.
Label notes: "Brewed with traditional mash hoping and without wort boiling. This along with a traditional strain of lactic acid bacteria provide a fruity and dry but palateful (sic) character."

A - Lots of loud fizzing... Tons of lightening fast carbonation all over the glass... An uneven sloping pure white head... Pale golden yellow color... Very faint haze...
S - Loads of yeast... White grapes... Faint lemon... Wheat... Apple... Some floral characteristics... Musky... Slightly salty...
T - Lots a grain... Lots of wheat... Lots of yeast... A terrific mix of citrus flavors... Faint hints of saltiness... The tartness and sour notes raise to the forefront as part of the aftertaste...
M - Loads and loads of prickly carbonation... Light bodied, but still assertive... Slightly oily... Crisp...
D - Smooth and refreshing... Refined, elegant, and classy... Light and delicate... A terrific brew and a wonderful and top notch representation of a very under appreciated style... A terrific summer session brew...

Northern Illinois trailed Horizon League preseason favorite Valparaiso by just six at the half, but the Crusaders shot 68 percent from the field in the second half to take a 69-46 victory on Tuesday morning in the ESPN College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon at the Athletics-Recreation Center. Junior forward Aksel Bolin (Asker, Norway/Asker) paced NIU with 10 points and nine rebounds.
"Give Valpo credit, they came out at halftime and stepped it up offensively," said NIU head coach Mark Montgomery. "They are a good ballclub, a very good shooting team. Their defense, from when we played them last year, was a lot better. They are going to have a good year, they are well coached and (Ryan) Broekhoff was a handful for us today.
"What I liked about our club was we didn't let our poor offense take away from good defense. We held them to 34 percent shooting in the first half; problem was we shot [19 percent]. So, we didn't let our offense affect our defense, we just wish some of those shots would go down early."
With the Huskies leading by a pair early, Valparaiso used an 8-0 burst to take a 10-4 lead with just over 11 minutes to play in the first half. Following a timeout, freshman guard Akeem Springs (Waukegan, Ill./Waukegan Township) ended the Valparaiso (2-0) run with a triple to cut the lead back to just three, but the Crusaders responded with the next five to push the lead back to 15-7.
The second triple of the morning by Springs cut the Valparaiso lead back to five, but Ryan Broekhoff answered with a triple for the Crusaders to give Valparaiso an 18-10 advantage with just under six minutes to play in the half.
Broekhoff connected on four 3-pointers in the first half and made five of Valpo's eight field goals in the opening 20 minutes.
A pair of free throws by freshman guard Mike Davis (Garfield Heights, Ohio/Garfield Heights) and a pull-up jumper by Springs helped the Huskies stay within striking distance at the break, 23-17. Springs led NIU (0-2) with eight points in the first half; Broekhoff paced Valparaiso with 16 points, including four 3-pointers.
The Huskies shot just 18.8 percent (6-of-32) from the field in the first half, but held Valparaiso to just 34.8 percent (8-of-23). NIU outrebounded Valparaiso 23-17 in the opening 20 minutes and did not allow an offensive rebound.
Valparaiso's Ben Boggs hit a pair of triples in the opening minute of the second half to push the Crusaders to a 29-17 lead.
The Crusader lead reached 14 but a triple from Bolin ended the 8-0 Valparaiso run to start the half and cut the lead back to 31-20 with 17:52 to play.
Another 10-0 burst by the Crusaders gave them a 44-22 lead with 13:32 left. Sophomore forward Keith Gray (Chicago, Ill./Brooks Academy) ended the run with a jumper and the Huskies played even with Valparaiso for the next six minutes until back-to-back 3-pointers gave the Crusaders a 60-35 lead with just under six minutes to play.
Valparaiso went 8-of-11 (72.7 percent) from behind the 3-point arc in the second half.
The Huskies shot 39.4 percent (13-of-33) in the final 20 minutes but were unable to slow the red-hot Crusaders who shot 68 percent (17-of-25).
Broekhoff finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the way for Valparaiso. Matt Kenney added 16 points off the bench and Boggs chipped in 11 for the Crusaders.
The Huskies will return home on Sunday, Nov. 18, for the regular season home opener against Judson University. Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m.

JEFFERSON PARISH, La. - The body of a 64-year-old man who had been missing since Wednesday morning, was found floating in the Barataria Waterway Friday morning, according to the JPSO.
Louis "Bill" Adams, was apparently making his daily journey in his pirogue across the waterway from his home to his work on Wednesday, when he disappeared. His body was found by friends on Friday.
It is not sure what happened, but Wednesday morning the water was very choppy due to a series of storms that swept through the area.
Adam's pirogue and some of his belongings were found and the worst was suspected when the search began.
Adam's body was discovered near the edge of the waterway near the seafood dock where he worked. Friends had been searching virtually around the clock since he disappeared Wednesday.

CATEGORIES Drama, Casting, CinematicalLast year, it seemed too strange to be true that Werner Herzog and David Lynch were teaming up for a film together -- My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. Almost any other directorial combo I could see, but the minds of Herzog (director) and Lynch (producer)? Merging directorial quirks is one thing, but when two men have distinct visions and artistic sense, that isn't the most stable situation. Who wins out when grizzlies face backward-talking little people?
Surprisingly enough, the project is still in motion, and it's definitely not featuring any common Lynch players. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Michael Peña (Lions for Lambs), Brad Dourif (Humboldt County), and Bill Cobbs (Night at the Museum) have joined a cast that already includes Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, and Chloe Sevigny.
The last three aren't big surprises (but very welcome and excellent choices) since each has had their share of alternative feature work, but the first three definitely suggest that this won't be your typical film from either filmmaker. And man, it's nice to see Pena getting busy with a meaty project that isn't about war. This time around, the film is a loose adaptation of a story of "a San Diego man who experiences a series of mystifying events that lead him to brutally murder his own mother with a sword."
Here's to hoping at least some of the wacky events are helmed by Lynch, or, at the very least, we get a Angelo Badalmenti score.

The TV series Shameless shows all kinds of male nudity. Steve Howey has shown his bare cock a few times already and boy does it look good.
We are huge fans of the show "Boardwalk Empire". They have a great storyline and some killer nude scenes. Bobby Cannavale has stripped down on more than one occasion and you can see from the naked collage.
If you haven't seen the show 'Shameless' then you are really missing out. They've already had a couple of Justin Chatwin nude scenes.
You've probably never seen so many hot nude actors all together at once. We've only seen it a couple times and we are some of the biggest male celeb fans around.
David Kross is no stranger to nude scenes, in fact he's done a few of them. He's a sexy young actor with tons of talent and good appreciation of a full frontal.
Game of Thrones is one of the hottest TV shows out right now. One of the things making it so hot is that they show actors totally nude. Like Alfie Allen in this full frontal scene.
We don't get to see as many black male celebs nude as we want to, but luckily we found a site that has tons. They have famous black cocks and asses everywhere.
Bear Grylls is one of our favorite reality TV show actors. He's got a sexy British accent and a great naked butt, as you can see.
Matt Bomer is an openly gay male actor. He's super sexy and has some home nude pics that have recently surfaced the net.

As Kyrie Irving held the All-Star Game MVP trophy above his head Sunday night in New Orleans, his confident smile seemed to give off a sense of relief. In what Kyrie himself has described as one of the toughest seasons of his career, going as far as to call it "a wake-up call," you sort of got the sense that Kyrie needed this.
This season hasn't been much fun for anyone associated with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In one of the worst seasons of basketball in the history of the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers somehow find themselves in 11th place in the conference with a 20-33 record. And it took a four-game win streak1 just to make the record look that good. There's been fighting, poor play, "pouting," confusion, insecurity, and a complete void of fun in the Cavs' world.
But something seems to have changed in the past couple weeks. From the moment GM Chris Grant was fired, the team seemed to flip the proverbial switch. Young SG Dion Waiters has spoken openly about how he took Grant's dismissal personally, taking accountability for his inconsistent if not poor play. But in the wake of one man's loss, the team did something remarkable. They came together, they started winning some games, and above all else they started having fun. [Read more...]
- the first four-game win streak of the post-LeBron era, nonetheless [↩]

We have a double whammy of Fall 2011 debut looks on the red carpet at the "Mildred Pierce" New York Premiere tonight.
Kate Winslet also opted for a recent runway look wearing a Stella McCartney Lucia dress from the Fall 2011 collection.
Evan Rachel Wood and Kate are very smart picking long sleeve dresses on a cold New York night. I think we'll be seeing long sleeves a lot more on the red carpet before summer.
Kate's black stretch cut out dot dress is absolutely divine. It fits her like a glove showcasing her beautiful womanly figure which those magazines keep airbrushing to death.
Her seductive body-con dress with her sheer polka-dot tulle sleeve was teamed with black and nude strappy heels from the same collection and a gold Calvin Klein tube clutch.
A wavy updo and barely there-make-up completed her stunning look.
I think this is a BDOTW worthy look.
What do you think?

I stood up for this guy and went to bat for him while he was Denver's coach, and even after he was fired I only placed some blame on him. What I just read is the last straw for me.
A Denver draft nugget is buried in an article on NFL.com about Vinny Cerrato - GM of the Redskins for most of the 2000's - and how he was set to trade up into the 2nd to draft LeSean McCoy, but didn't because his RB coach he didn't want McCoy. The article then goes onto talk about Cerrato's opposite encounter with Denver that year…
All of Cerrato's stories are well worth a read, but he wasn't always the victim of bad luck. He recalls trying to trade up for Brian Orkapo.
"Denver's on the clock the pick before us, and I called them. How about this, I offer them a third-round pick to swap, and they called me back and they said No, you're gonna get your guy, don't worry about it, you don't have to trade. How about that one? [Laughter.]," Cerrato said.
We all know who fielded that call from Cerrato, and his name isn't Brian Xanders. You mean to tell me that McD DIDN'T TAKE A FREE 3RD ROUND PICK KNOWING THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DRAFT ORAKPO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides that, they should have just taken Orakpo from the beginning at that spot and then BPA with the 1.18 (we had 2 1st's in 2009). I can't believe this actually happened.

In the pic it looks like the pages are bound between the leather spine and then that fits into the covering. Is that the case or are they showing 2 journals? The outside and the inside?
Also do I need to purchase the Journal and the inset in order to receive pages?

Happy Canada Day From RaptorsHQ
Well, today marks an important one in history. Sure, it's Canada Day here up north, but it's also the first day of an NBA owners imposed lock-out, one that could drag on for quite some time according to various people close to the situation. That means no free-agency, no player movement (which made yesterday's JJ Hickson for Omar Casspi trade such a surprise) and lots of speculation and angry love letters from Billy Hunter to David Stern. We'll resume our free agent takes tomorrow, looking at the small forward class, but right now, it looks like the worst fears of many NBA fans have unfortunately been realized.

Melvin LaVern Ruhs, 91 years of age, of Holdrege, Nebraska (formerly Alma, Nebraska)
Funeral Services for Melvin L. Ruhs will be conducted from the United Methodist Church in Alma, Nebraska on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. with Jane Blum, CLM officiating. Interment will take place at Alma Cemetery, in Alma with Military Honors provided by the Fay Cady American Legion Post #118 of Alma in conjunction with the United States Navy Honors Team.
Melvin LaVern Ruhs, 91 years of age, of Holdrege, Nebraska (formerly Alma, Nebraska) passed away on Friday, January 10, 2014 at the Christian Homes Care Community Center in Holdrege. Melvin was born on April 14, 1922 on the family farm south of Hildreth, Nebraska, the eldest of two children born to Robert Alfred and Emma Louise (Casper) Ruhs.
Mel was baptized in the Lutheran faith at Hildreth in his infancy. When Mel was one year old, he moved with his family to Harlan County, where he attended the Prairie Dog Rural School District #8 south of Alma in Harlan County. He started high school in Alma, later moving to Elkins, Arkansas in 1937 with his parents where they resided until 1938. Mel worked on farms in Nebraska until 1939 when he moved to Omack, Washington to pick apples. From Washington, and with five other young men, went to the Imperial Valley in California to pick peas. They returned to Nebraska in the fall of 1939 and in the spring of 1940, he went to Hood River, Oregon, where he worked in the orchards, returning to Nebraska in the fall of that year.
On May 30, 1941, Melvin was united in marriage to Vernietta Evelyn Trout at the Phillips County Court House in Phillipsburg, Kansas by Judge F.S. Snyder. To this union five children were born: Judy Ivene, Ronald Edward, Gary Gene, Susan Kaye, and Jerry Lee. After their marriage, they resided at Hood River, Oregon where Mel continued to work in the orchards. He was later employed by Collins Concrete and Steel. On weekends and nights, he attended welding school, where he then worked as a welder in the shipyards at Portland, Oregon.
On March 8, 1945, Mel enlisted into the United States Navy and later transferred to the Sea Bees. He served at Kansas City, Missouri, the Great Lakes, Illinois, Davisville, Rhode Island, and Camp Parks, California. From there Mel went to Honolulu, Hawaii and then to Guam in the Marshall Islands. Mel served with the 52nd Navy Sea Bees, and then transferred to 103rd Navy Sea Bees where he served until he was honorably discharged on April 2, 1946 at the U.S. Naval Personnel Separation Center in St. Louis, Missouri. While serving in the U.S. Navy, Mel received the American Area Service Medal, the Victory Medal, and the Asiatic Pacific Medal.
Following his discharge, Mel and Vernietta moved to Alma. From 1946 until 1960, Mel operated the Highway Garage Allis Chalmbers with Lawrence Frieling and then managed the shop at Dahlgrens Farm Supply Allis Chalmers in Holdrege, NE from 1960-1985. During this same time, Mel also operated Mel's Marine in Alma, retiring in 1985 and he continued to enjoy small engine repair after retirement.
The family traveled extensively over the years in their motor homes, visiting Canada, Alaska and all but one or two states in the US. This was a special time for the family when the kids were growing up. In June of 2009, after 57 years at his home in Alma, Mel moved to Hillcrest Terrace Assisted Living Center in Alma.
Mel was a member of the Free Methodist Church in Alma, and was a member of the Faye Cady American Legion Post #118 for over 64 years and the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #3132 of Holdrege for over 48 years.
Mel was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Vernietta on April 15, 2005; his son, Ron in 2001; daughter-in-law, Diana in 2004; and two brothers-in-law, Clifford Trout and his wife Joyce and Dean Trout and his wife, Jeanette.
Mel is survived by two daughters: Judy Flammang and her husband, Harry, Jr. of Moreno Valley, California and Susan Haberman and her husband, Tom of Lincoln, Nebraska; two sons, Gary Ruhs and his wife, Cindy of Holdrege and Jerry Ruhs and his wife, Alane of Minden, Nebraska; ten grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; five great great-grandchild; one sister, Madeline Pool of Holdrege; two brothers-in-law, Warren Pool of Alma and James Trout and his wife, Ruth of Evanston, Wyoming; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma.
A memorial has been established in Melvin's honor and will be designated at a later date.
Expressions of caring and kindness may be sent to the family at www.nelsonbauerfh.com
The Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma is in charge of the arrangements.

But the lab also houses the lesser known "Tiny Titan," whose nine processing units, or "cores," are made from Raspberry Pis.

The hard part, explains Titan support specialist Adam Simpson, is writing the code for it.
An unholy trinity of forces – levees along the Mississippi River, sea level rise due to climate change, and fossil fuel extraction – have caused about 2,000 square miles of southeastern Louisiana to disappear into the Gulf of Mexico over the past eight decades.

I was peering out through the helmet of my space suit, when something terrible happened: I got an itch. And with my hands unable to touch my face, scratching it the good old fashioned way was out of the question. Thankfully, the suit's manufacturer's had predicted this very scenario and planned accordingly. A strip of velcro was positioned inside the helmet for me, and I was able to rub my face against it, relieving the discomfort. Even in space, things can get a little itchy.

The submarine of the future may come to America in a super fast bubble, traveling under water. Researchers at China's Harbin Institute of Technology developed a new concept for submarine "supercavitation," where an underwater vessel creates a pocket of air around itself. Inside this bubble, the submarine can travel much faster without friction of water creating drag and slowing it down. Theoretically, a supercavitated vessel using rocket engines could travel inside that air pocket at almost the speed of sound.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A Lawrenceville teen will appear in Gwinnett County Magistrate Court today after he reportedly told neighbors he was a police officer during a search for a missing relative.
According to police, Yosue Carambot Arce, 18, presented a photo to members of a household on Pine Valley Circle early Friday evening, stating that the child in the picture had been missing for two weeks and that he was investigating the matter for the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department.
Arce, in shorts and a T-shirt, reportedly retreated to his car after the woman asked to see a badge, and the woman called the police.
The suspect later told the reporting Lawrenceville police officer that the boy in the picture was his stepbrother, who he said had been missing since his mother went to jail. He said that pretending to be a police officer was "the only way to get people to talk to him."
Arce then proceeded to tell the arresting officer that he was "a good friend of several police officers who could speak for him," producing business cards for what the police report called "the so-called law enforcement friends."
The officer called one of the colleagues that Arce claimed as a friend. That officer said that he had filled out a theft report for Arce in the past, but did not know him otherwise.
Arce was booked into Gwinnett County Jail on charges of impersonating an officer and violating learner's permit restrictions.

Yushin Okami will be challenging Anderson Silva for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 134, and most fans know that this is a rematch of the 2006 battle at Rumble on the Rock 8 in Hawaii. Okami won the first bout by disqualification after Anderson used an illegal kick from his guard to hurt Okami, who was unable to continue. Okami spoke to Tatame about that bout, and while he has the W on his record, he doesn't feel like he won the fight:
"I won by DQ, but I felt I lost that fight," he said, responding to Anderson, who said he faked he was hurt to stop the fight. "There was a damage. There is no point to talk about past things so I don't really care of what people say about last fight. However, that experience made me stronger and as a result I was able to fight in UFC afterwards so I really thank and respect Silva. The word that he says to that I was dressed in damage last is past. I am not dressed. This time I will fight with respect and it will be a chance to show who's the best".
Okami (26-5, 10-2 UFC) will try to end Anderson's 14-fight winning streak on August 27th in Rio.

I just rendered an honest and perhaps blunt, but not profane post on "building the dam" and have just been informed that I have been blocked from their blog? I've never heard of such a thing.
I simply reminded them of some of the comments they had been making before the game (one that very blog) and pointed out why they should feel a little silly now that the game has been played.
As someone new to blogs in general, what's the deal? Anyone?

ARIZONA (WKOW) -- The fate of a controversial bill that would allow business owners in Arizona to deny service to any customer on the basis of personal religious beliefs, rests in the hands of Republican Governor Jan Brewer.
The Arizona legislature passed the bill last week. It would allow business owners to cite their religious beliefs to deny service to gays and pardon them from any legal action claiming discrimination.
Many state republicans believe its likely Governor Brewer will veto the bill, which has sparked controversy in Arizona and beyond, especially among proponents of gay rights.
If the bill passes some Fortune 500 companies, like Marriott, American Airlines and Apple, have warned of a potential backlash towards doing business in Arizona. Governor Brewer has until Saturday to make a decision.

Testudo, Say It A'int So!
Lenny. Lefty. Dixon. Gary. I've had the privilege of meeting two of them, Lefty and Gary. Maryland legends for different reasons - one put the Terps and Cole Field House on the map. One put a crystal basketball in the lobby of Comcast Center. Both, I would imagine, will take a moment today to savor so many ACC memories.
My ACC memories started at 6 years old watching MJ make magic on the court at UNC. I remember my 8 year old enthusiasm taking in my first Terps game with my dad against UVA. Lenny and Lefty's last game. Cole was electric! I remember taking my son, 6 at the time, to his first game two years ago against Clemson. I remember four epic games against Duke in 2001. I remember classic battles between Dean and Lefty. I would take pride in ACC basketball when my friends would champion the legacy of the Big Ten and Big East. Today, I'm disgusted. Within the context of basketball, the thought of a Big Ten logo in the red paint on the Comcast Center floor is gut wrenching.
As I've watched the fire sale of proud institutions to whatever conference makes the least sense and the most money, I've been reassured and proud that the Terps, a founding member of the ACC, were forever entrenched in their one and only conference. As other conferences stood on the street corner twirling and throwing signs like a furniture store going out of business, I've watched in guilty fascination as Boise St. goes to the Big East. As Nebraska turns its back on a historic rivalry with Oklahoma for a new rivalry with…Minnesota??? As Georgetown and UConn watch bitter rival Syracuse defect to the ACC. Blasphemy!
Blasphemy implies sacred. And as we've known for a generation now…nothing is sacred. After all, what is the underlying irresistible draw of college athletics? Is it how many players get drafted in the first round? Is it which network gets to show which team? Is it any stat that coaches and players put up on the ticker at the bottom of the screen? No, no and no. Rivalries! Rivalries are college athletics. "Sacred" rivalries like Duke/Carolina, Alabama/LSU, Michigan/Ohio State. But all of those rivalries are in the same conference, you say? Sure they are….but for how long? Nothing is off-limits anymore.
History will look back at this non-sense and judge today's college Presidents…men and women who, one day, will gladly trade their legacy for that of beta-max or New Coke. History will see this as the turning point, when college athletics lifted the veil of innocence behind which they had hid for so long. Even if we all knew it anyway, we didn't want it thrown in our faces. If you ever had the misfortune of walking by your parents' bedroom door closed and locked with music in the background, you knew what was happening on the other side of it, but seeing it in all of its glory it is whole different matter! Well, now that my beloved Terps have fallen victim to this charade, I've flung the door wide open and now I'm ready to hide in the closet and cry at horror I've seen. Marvin Gaye will never sound quite the same!
Congratulations college presidents, athletic directors, trustees, regents! The cash machines you tout as institutions of higher learning are paving the way for a whole new generation of athlete, free from the irritation of intellectual growth. Not chained by the lessons that help to make strong men and women leaders for the next crop of student-**cough**-athletes (I'm sorry…had some trouble getting that out). Despite lip service to the contrary that would make Mick Jagger jealous, this is the message you send. We get it.
The hypocrisy running unchecked in college sports today will continue to spiral downward. Say hello to the infancy of an NCAA in which players are not only paid, but free to endorse products, bend rules and rent themselves out to any hanger-on they want to. You know…the NCAA we have now, but only it will be OK and accepted as the norm. I don't pretend that Maryland's move is the one that tips the balance. That ship sailed long ago. It's the one that's tipped my balance.
Tomorrow, I may have calmed down. Tomorrow, maybe I won't share today's view that the NCAA will soon be a putrid cesspool of semi-pro divas caring nothing for the lore and history of their schools and their bitter rivals, but only about what color Bentley to get during their freshman year after that pesky Sports Information class is over. Maybe… But it's still today. And today, I look into my crystal basketball and I see Lenny, Lefty, Dixon and Gary shed a tear at the stink of it all.
But! I'm still a Terps fan! So, Big Ten here we come! Consider yourselves warned….Fear the Turtle!!!!!!!

Perrault is listed at 5'10" 175....but we know he's probably 5'7" 160 or 165. What other good little men are currently playing (or have recently retired) in the league? M. St. Louis and T. Fluery immediately come to mind. Maybe S. Yzerman too, but he wasn't that small. He really was 5'10"..... I really like Perfault and think he's earned a shot with the Caps. In fact, I would have been just as happy if Fleischmann hadn't resigned and Perrault took his slot as 2nd [or more likely 3rd] line center. MP85 may be small, but the man's got heart.
So anyway, who are the best little players in the league?

WASHINGTON — Four years ago, Barack Obama's swearing-in drew a record crowd to the National Mall. There were 1.8 million people eager to witness history: the country's first black president taking the oath of office.
Now, as Obama prepares for his second-term kickoff, the capital is preoccupied with a looming economic crisis, exit from war, and a reshuffling in Congress. Ticket demand is lower. Hotels are far from booked. And from Capitol Hill to the White House, the upcoming festivities seem to be barely on anyone's radar.

Small-town drama of 'Friday Night Lights' in new slot
AUSTIN, Texas — New day, new time, new season ... but at least one thing about "Friday Night Lights" hasn't changed. The show retains the uncanny ability to capture the heart and soul of small-town life like no other drama on television.
The big question facing "Lights" now is whether hordes of viewers will stay home on Friday nights to watch it. Or, at the very least, if they will remember to set their recorders and watch it later.
"To finally be on Fridays, we're embracing it," said Sarah Aubrey, executive producer. "It's a time slot where we don't have to hit it out of the ballpark right away. There's potential for growth there, and the network feels this is a protected place."
Maybe ... fingers crossed on that one. Friday nights are traditionally slow nights for TV. But it's true that last season's initial Tuesday slot was confusing to some people. "Friday Night Lights" on Tuesday nights? Didn't make sense. Maybe now it will click, although probably not for folks who normally watch real-life Friday night football.
The Austin-based drama's sophomore year begins tonight, with Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) ensconced in his dream job coaching college ball in Austin, and his pregnant wife Tami (Connie Britton) going into labor in Dillon. Coach makes it to the birth, but only barely, and then must return to his university job.
Don't even try to get through this wrenching separation scene without a full box of tissue. Britton will break your heart. After a strong season, second chances are wonderful, but can Season 2 top or even equal Season 1? That's the big question.
"Everybody gets nervous after a season like last season," Aubrey said.
"Lights," you might recall, was launched to stunning praise. The New York Times, which rarely salutes anything on network TV, raved that the pilot was "great in the way of a poem or painting." Accolades poured in from dozens of publications around the country. But the ratings, as sometimes happens, didn't match the praise, and "Lights" teetered on the bubble until NBC announced a full-season renewal in May.
Analysis went into high gear as producers and network honchos tried to figure out why more people weren't watching. Speculation was rampant that viewers stayed away because they thought that it was simply a football show, which it wasn't — then or now. Or because it takes place in Texas, it would tout Bush-style conservative values.
But it's not about sports or politics. "Lights" is about high school kids in a small Texas town, their parents, and the coach and his family who guide them. It was never intended to be merely a sports show, although it certainly sparks excitement on the gridiron.
And from the looks of the season opener, there's plenty of story. Coach McGregor, played by veteran actor Chris Mulkey ("Broken Trail," "Twin Peaks"), arrives with an iron-hand approach to pushing the state champion Panthers toward another winning season.

Robin Roberts and Diane Sawyer: Soul Sisters
Hearing the Truth
LHJ: Diane, was there ever a time when you felt protective or overprotective of Robin, that you wish she had listened to you?
RR: Oh, I'm gonna love this one. Go ahead, be honest.
DS: I felt a couple of things. I didn't feel she should have traveled.
RR: I know, I know. [Roberts traveled to the Middle East while she was getting chemotherapy to do a report on the stigma of breast cancer in Muslim societies.]
DS: I was also concerned that she not be pressured into doing anything publicly. That if she wanted to stay completely private, she could do that, too. That she did not do anything for the world before she took care of herself. And I was just a little worried, because in our business, and in our world, suddenly you're dealing with this as a public event when what you really need to do is fold in and just protect yourself. You want to make sure that you've heard your own thoughts. You don't get back your chance to think through how you really feel as opposed to telling other people how you feel. I didn't want her to suddenly have to be on a treadmill of interviews and publicity, unless she wanted to.
LHJ: Robin, at what point did you tell Diane that you had found a lump?
RR: I was on vacation and e-mailed her about finding a doctor, because I had moved and was in between doctors. I didn't want to tell her what it was about. My mom has often said, "We're lumpy people. Don't worry about it." So I just said, "I need a doctor. Just inquiring, just need a checkup." But I also knew that Diane's mind was going, Whooooooa! Who on vacation asks about a doctor?
DS: I'm a BlackBerry addict, and that was one of the few times I was out and did not check it till the next morning.
RR: So I got in touch with Deborah Roberts [a correspondent at ABC News] and went to see her doctor when I got back. I happened to be on assignment when I got the call that the biopsy showed that it was cancer. I was in the public eye for, like, 12 hours before I could get back home. I had to talk to my family in code, because I didn't want anybody to know yet. I was going, "Remember the thing I was gonna get checked out? Well, that thing isn't so good." Finally, the next day, when I came home I walked in and just collapsed on the floor and cried. Just cried and cried. And that night I told Diane.
LHJ: Can you both recall that conversation?
RR: As you can imagine, it's a blur to me -- that whole period of time. All I remember is just this calm, this absolute calm, coming from Diane. [Roberts pauses here to collect herself.] Diane is the type of person who makes you feel everything's going to be all right. That she is going to will it for you. The conversation I do remember vividly was after my surgery when we got the test results back and they weren't quite as promising as we'd hoped. The cancer was more aggressive and more advanced than we initially thought and I was going to have to have chemotherapy. I'm crying on the phone to Diane. And she still is just very calm, compassionate. She had been up calling doctors on the West Coast. I can already hear her dialing doctors on her second phone [turns to Sawyer]. When I was paralyzed with fear and couldn't make a call, it was so comforting to know that you were gathering all this information for me. I knew I was going to have the best possible care, and the best possible outcome.
LHJ: Diane, what's your memory of those conversations?
DS: [Looking intently at Roberts] I remember the first conversation. Your voice caught, but you were very matter-of-fact. That you had a lump, it was cancer. And it was the two of us saying, Okay, this is the news today. And everything is going to be great. I knew it, I knew it. And then I did start calling. I called every place, the middle of the country, the West Coast. So I could tell you what they were telling me, which was, "This is going to be okay." To me, when you're in the middle of a crisis, one of the hardest things is to ask the questions you're meant to ask.


text: Ok,Ok, so Berman wasn't really a basketball guy, but todays MLB hall of fame inductions brought back memories ot the early 80's ESPN-Tom Mees, Linda Cohn (she preserves rather well. Can you get formaldehyde dressing on your salads?), Chris Berman, etc. So with the induction of Bert "be home" Blyleven to the MLB Hall of fame, I ask, "what other great Berman nicknames do people remember over the years?" I'll start: Dave "parallel" Parker and John "tonight, let it be" Lowenstein. Others?

NHL lockout: Nicklas Backstrom will join Alex Ovechkin in KHL
It appears that Washington Capitals teammates Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin will be reunited in the KHL for the remainder of the NHL lockout.
According to multiple reports out of Europe, Backstrom has agreed to join Dynamo Moscow, the team that Ovechkin has been playing for since the lockout began.
It's a move that his agent has confirmed to Katie Carerra of the Washington Post.
If you want to try to read something into Backstrom's move, the timing is certainly interesting, and perhaps even a little ominous given that the NHLPA is set to make a proposal to the league on Thursday afternoon, and that the league hopes to start the season by Nov. 2.
Backstrom missed half of the 2011-12 season because of a concussion he suffered when he was elbowed by then-Calgary Flames forward Rene Bourque. In 42 games, he scored 14 goals to go with 30 assists.
Ovechkin has scored four goals to go with seven assists in his first 11 games with Dynamo.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Reading the Bible. It is a chance to learn the history of our faith, to discover the great mysteries of our Lord, and to read of the love that Christ lived for us. It is all these things, and yet it is so much more; it is a chance to commune with the Most High God.
In late June, LifeWay released the latest update to MyStudyBible.com which introduced more translations and, perhaps the key to a modern study of the Bible, more integrated content. There is an inherent problem with the way our rising generation learns and studies; we jump from link to link as we run through the Internet. As a culture we Google and train our brains to pick out what the most promising link is; we hit it, we scan the page, and decide in moments if this is the content we were looking for. Then, we hit the back button and search again.
A psychological test from 2001 is referenced by Nicholas Carr in his Internet-themed book "The Shallows," where two sets of readers were given the same story, but presented in different ways. One was presented straight forward and linearly, the other included links for more information throughout the text. The hypothesis was that the enriched text would create a better experience for the readers. But the study found something different:
"Hypertext readers again reported greater confusion following the text, and their comments about the story's plot and imagery were less detailed and less precise than those of the linear-text readers. With hypertext, the researchers concluded, 'the absorbed and personal mode of reading seems to be discouraged.' The readers' attention 'was directed toward the machinery of the hypertext and its functions rather than to the experience offered by the story.' The medium used to present the words obscured the meaning of the words."
The challenge is to find a way to enable the modern features and familiarity of the web to enhance biblical study, not distract or overpower. As a part of the leadership team for MyStudyBible.com, the question was asked: What if we take the need for data mining away, and let the discovery of relevant content happen naturally? What if, instead of jumping around the page to search and hitting the back button when you found the wrong thing, what if you always knew you found the right thing first?
It's not often that nine months after a project is released you can look back and think: That just might be right. Something may have been created here that is truly beneficial to the church.
At MyStudyBible.com, the default study space is divided into two sections: the main reading pane and the cross reference pane. In the main reading pane, a reader can travel through the biblical text at their own pace, reading verse-by-verse in a linear fashion. But on the right hand side, keeping constantly updated with what's being read, are a series of content tools that update to show additional content that references the reading location. So, if the user is on John 3:16, off to the side of the reading pane will be a deep list of content that can help further explain the verse. The user gets to preview the content before ever opening it. When something needs more explanation, a glance can show how much deeper all the content can go.
By presenting not just the biblical text, but also a targeted, intentional and ever-adapting next layer of content, digital study tools like MyStudyBible.com become an exercise in enriching, understanding and discovery. Learning is no longer about finding the right complementary text -- it's about understanding and approaching all of the relevant texts.
Of course, MyStudyBible.com isn't the only digital Bible out there that can be used for deeper study. Software companies like WORDsearch, Logos, and BibleWorks have been building different ways of presenting and interacting with biblical content for years. I would encourage you to give them all a try, as each service has its own styles, pluses and minuses. The key here is that there is a world of content out there, ready for deep experiences.
The Bible -- and oh-so-many things written to help understand it -- are literally a webpage and a keystroke away.

Memories: When it was 'an occasion' to go downtown

Thank you for sharing your memories, helping to revive mine. I, too, long for those special trips on the "B" streetcar with my mother or my best friend when we were old enough to go downtown on our own.
on Jul 30, 2013 at 10:29 am
Although this is about San Francisco, the very same events and approach were true in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We dressed, gloves, streetcar. same sales techniques that were elegant. We went to some lovely ladies place for lunch and shopped sending packages home free.
It was delightful but it's better now. No girdles or high heels, etc.

"Touche" hahahaMay 11, 2012 at 12:37 p.m.
I actually disagree with all of you. I dont think its fair to say because he is a pastor that he got away with something. If I was handicapped and unable to run because of my handicap and I was being struck several times and knocked to the ground by someone, well Im not sure how I would react. The only reason why this man John even attempted to leave probably was because he saw him getting a weapon. Im just saying obviously there's much we dont know in order for the judge to make this ruling. The world must know that just because you are a pastor does not mean that you are no longer human and not able to make mistakes. I do believe that God has his hands on those who serve him and when they fall short whether they sit in the pullpit or in the pews, he will forgive them and HIS WILL will be done. God Bless both men and let's stop casting stones.May 9, 2012 at 9:04 p.m.
Blue_lake where have you been?? Thugs do get away with stuff like that.May 9, 2012 at 4:40 p.m.
is this now over?May 9, 2012 at 10:45 a.m.
I totally agree cuerogirl.
So just because he owed the guy money and the guy hit him before, this gives him the right to almost take his life? I bet if he was not a preacher the guy would have done hard time.
At least we now know one thing. All the thugs in town need to become preachers so they can get away with stuff like this.May 9, 2012 at 9:38 a.m.

AMHERST — Matt Sparks knows he's the first domino.
If the center sets the tone for the offensive line and the offensive line sets the tone for the entire offense, a good year for Sparks as the University of Massachusetts' No. 1 center means the rest of the unit has a chance to take a step forward.
"It's pretty important for me to do a lot better this year and improve," said Sparks, who is motivated by the pressure. "It helps you though all the hard workouts knowing you need to get better every day."
New UMass offensive line coach Dave Johnson played center himself at West Virginia.
"You have to be strong up the middle. That's a tough position. I have firsthand knowledge," he said. "I told him 'you're in the unfavorable spot of playing the position your coach played.' I'm really hard on him. You're putting the ball between your legs and trying to block and make calls. He has to do a good job. He's done a really good job with the run, he has to get a little bit better with his pass protection, as does everybody else."
Sparks, a 6-foot-4, 290-pound native of Hawaii, made three starts as a true freshman last year at left guard. Like most of the Minuteman who debuted last year, he had some growing pains, but he thought it helped prepare him for this year.
"I think it helped a lot. All the young guys that played last year have experience," he said. "We've seen firsthand what we need to prepare for. It's one thing if someone tells you they're big and strong, but it's a lot different if you're actually out there. It forces you to come out with everything you've got. Unless they throw some weird stuff, I think I'm ready for most of it. It just takes repetitions and showing it over and over every day in practice."
Playing center adds a new list of responsibilities as he's learning to make the right presnap calls, developing chemistry with quarterback Mike Wegzyn and becoming a leader.
"The center has to be on the same page as the quarterback," Molnar said. "The quarterback has to tell the center, 'Hey, I wanted the ball, you were too slow delivering it' or, 'You were too fast. Your snaps are off.' He has to know that Matt is going to take that information and process it rather than be offended by it."
Wegzyn has been impressed with Sparks' development.
"He's come a long way like the whole team has," he said. "He's almost a veteran now. Me and him have been through it all together. I feel really good about him going into this season."
Sparks is taking the leadership responsibility that comes with playing center seriously.
"I think it's pretty important," he said. "I have to do my best to set an example for everybody else and just try to provide some energy."
In the spring, it looked like Sparks would be leading a young and very inexperienced unit. Anthony Dima was the lone senior, and the only player, who'd been in the program the previous spring. But the group has evolved. The return of right guard Vincent Westcarr and the arrival of Rutgers transfer David Osei, who will start at right tackle, gives the Minutemen three seniors on the line. Only redshirt freshman left guard Tyrell Smith has yet to see game action.
Junior college transfer David Bruns and true freshmen Fabian Hoeller and Tyshon Henderson will all add depth.
"Fabian Hoeller is an older freshman. He's brought some maturity with him. I'm pleased with where he is right now. Tyshon Henderson has some physical maturity, but mentally right now he's swimming. Hopefully, the game will slow down a little for him, but right now the game goes really fast for him."

- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
From their engagement atop the Eiffel Tower to the birth of baby Suri, everything has been over-hyped for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. After Suri's arrival in April 2006, the two took the plunge in November of the same year. Critics have called the marriage everything from a publicity stunt to a sham, but the couple remains intact.
- Heidi Klum and Seal
Supermodel Heidi Klum and British recording artist Seal met while she was pregnant with baby Leni, from a previous relationship with Flavio Briatore. They were both equally smitten and happily tied the knot in May of 2005. The gorgeous couple went on to have two sons together, Henry and Johan Riley. Heidi has said that she and Seal would love nothing more than to have a huge family of their own.
- Fergie and Josh Duhamel
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, a.k.a. Stacy Ferguson, and hunky actor Josh Duhamel have been dating for over two years. The odd couple met on the set of the hit TV show Las Vegas, where Josh has a lead role. He announced that he had a "huge crush" on the Black Eyed Peas singer, and the rest is history.

Tomorrow may be the first day of school for students in the Nazareth Area School District, but technically, summer doesn't end until Sept. 23.
To us here at Patch, that's a good enough excuse to visit in Nazareth a few more times before the leaves begin to change -- but even then, Emily's is open year-round.
Emily's Ice Cream, which can be found just around the corner from Dunkin' Donuts on Route 191, has been a local institution for nearly 20 years. And while some businesses are feeling the sting of competition and economy, Emily's is doing just fine.
"We have really loyal customers," said manager Laura Romano. "I even get people from New Jersey who heard about us from a friend [who] said, 'You have to try this ice cream!'"
Emily's regards itself as a specialty ice cream store, and for good reason -- all 32 flavors of hard ice cream are homemade on-premise by either Romano or the store's owner, Pat Rice.
Those 32 flavors change seasonally, Romano explained, adding that the store has offered nearly 100 different varieties since it opened in 1988.
"Whatever ingredients I have on hand I use to make different flavors," Romano said.
This experimentation has led to esoteric favorites like coffee biscotti, Blue Eagle gelati and fluffernutter -- peanut butter and marshmallow mixed in vanilla ice cream.
A more recent addition to the menu at Emily's is fat-free yogurt, available in soft-serve and already selling well. Come fall, the store will begin offering the popular pumpkin and raspberry soft-serve flavors.
Another specialty at Emily's is its homemade ice cream cakes. The shop makes the cakes in any flavor, not just vanilla or chocolate, and each can be filled with candy pieces, fruit or peanut butter.
"The most time our cakes spend in a freezer is two days," Romano said. "They stay fresh, and they keep us open in the winter."
But what caught this reporter's eye was something lurking in the rear freezer -- a concoction called the brownie pizza. What exactly is that? It's a flat brownie base with whipped cream and a variety of toppings, like candy pieces, nuts, caramel and chocolate syrup. Count me in!
In conjunction with the ice cream cakes and "pizzas," the store also sells mylar balloons, birthday candles and handmade birthday cards, making Emily's a one-stop shop for birthday supplies.
Emily's Ice Cream is located at 848 Nazareth Pike, next to . The store is open daily from noon to 10 p.m. During the winter months, Emily's is open noon to 8 p.m.
Cash, Visa and MasterCard are all accepted, and gift certificates are available.

Every network should have a customized manual of sorts with maps showing the network layout and written documentation on all the basic aspects of the network.
Although you or some other IT superhero might have a mental map of the network stored in your brain, having up-to-date written documentation is still vital. What happens if that IT superhero leaves all of a sudden? If you have adequate documentation, the learning curve for a new IT staff member will be much easier. The same applies to any IT contractors who might be called in to help with the network in the future.

Here are some questions for LeBron James as he has decided to join the Miami Heat:
1) What the Hell? – You leave Cleveland on national television? They BURNED YOUR JERSEYS AND PUBLICLY CRIED AFTER THAT. That was kind of a dick move. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, onto the real questions.
2) Do you really think Miami is the best place to win? – It can't be. They're the third best team in the East right now, at best. Chicago isn't even done yet. Miami could end up being the fourth best team based on that. Dwight Howard will eat this team alive in ways that only Brian Skinner could ever even dream of. Chris Bosh is not guarding Dwight Howard. That is a recipe for being Skynyrd. And there are plenty of teams in the West that are potentially better than this Heat team. What if Greg Oden suddenly becomes consistently healthy? The Portland Trailblazers are now better than the Heat. Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook will bring the Thunder down upon this team. Luck the Fakers, but they are probably better, too. Even our beloved Clips are potentially better than this team, pending the in-season development of some young players.
Let's recap: The Magic, Celtics, and possibly Bulls are better than his professed "best team for winning." The Lakers, Clippers(?Hope Clipper Nation! Hope!), Thunder, Mavericks, Trailblazers, Rockets (Yao Ming is back), Suns, and Spurs could all beat this team. So this leads to another question...
3) Why then, if not to win? – Personally, I think LeBron and his bros wanted to kick it in South Beach with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and their respective bros. This is understandable. Broing it up is fun, especially somewhere like Miami. But could it have been the all-star potential of their entire starting three? Maybe Michael Beasley has some really good weed or something (hey, seems likely to me). Who knows why, except for LeBron.
Some basketball related questions:
4) Who dribbles? – LeBron and DWade are both the sort of guys who dribble up the court. They are "creators" for their teams. How does this work when they are on the same team? Who plays point guard, and how do they feel about being the THIRD option for dribbling? And Bosh likes to hold the basketball plenty on his own. This seems like it could end badly in terms of team chemistry.
5) Who plays center? – Who is guarding the Howards, Perkinses, Bynums (eww. Bynum.), Kamans, and other true centers? Shaq? Bosh? This Heat team will be weak on the inside. Darko Milicic could even beat this team up. (Well, maybe not him.) There aren't very many true centers left, and none of them will sign for the minimum, so that sucks for you, LeBron.
That's all I have. Let's have fun watching every team gun for these guys until they get injured by some D-Leaguer. Or until they lose to Orlando in the first round of the playoffs.
We can have even more fun watching the Clippers beat this team. Who do they have playing PG? Doesn't matter, unless they pull off a trade, their guy isn't better than Baron Davis. Eric Gordon will tire Dwyane Wade out on the defensive end, and he's a capable defender himself. Al-Farouq Aminu is long enough and fast enough to pester LeBron James, which should be enough. For all his gifts, I'm not sure Chris Bosh can match up physically with Blake Griffin. And unnamed center will be beaten by Chris Kaman's skillz and DeAndre Jordan's power/freakish athleticism.
Basically, I can't see anyway this turns out well for LeBron, at least for the upcoming season. Especially not the game(s) in Quicken Loans Arena. Those could get ugly.

Seams like Mr. Allen is always getting thrown under the bus, but I think he's a great owner. He built what would have been a true contender with Roy, LaMa and Oden, but everyone knows how fate crushed us. Not Paul's fault and he keeps battling. I would have preferred keeping Pritchard, but he's the boss. He has to write million dollar checks and he gets to run his business as he sees fit
He's built the Seahawks with value-guys just like he's doing with the Blazers. It took some time, but it's working up there and I think we're on a reasonable path now considering our location and reputation as a non flashy NBA city. He even lets Olshey call him Paul. Good step.

Bournemouth v Watford betting preview
Updated 4:49pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Sport By Simon Mail
Watford will be looking to continue their excellent record against Bournemouth this weekend.
The Hornets travel to the Goldsands Stadium tomorrow having won the last five meetings against the Cherries. Watford thrashed Bournemouth 6-1 in August and also defeated them in the Capital One Cup this season.
Watford have lost just once in their last 15 meetings with Bournemouth and this trend suggests backing the visitors at 13/8 with Coral is a decent bet.
Their recent form has been poor but a midweek win over Bristol City in the FA Cup will have done them no harm and the Hornets are unbeaten away from home since October.
The fact the Golden Boys have drawn their last six away games would suggest this result could also be popular at 23/10 with Ladbrokes.
Troy Deeney netted a hat-trick against Bournemouth at Vicarage Road earlier this season and there may be worse bets than to back the striker to net the opener at 11/2 with William Hill.
