John-Obi Mikel has admitted he is keen to move from Chelsea to Galatasary and link up with former team-mate Didier Drogba.
The Nigeria international has been at Chelsea since 2006 but after winning one Premier League title, four FA Cups, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, he is ready to leave London.
And the 26-year-old has admitted that the prospect of moving to Istanbul is one that appeals to him.
Mikel made 38 appearances for Chelsea last season, but was not a regular starter and this may be the reasoning behind his decision to move. The midfielder, who is currently at the FIFA Confederations Cup with Nigeria, admitted that his representatives were in discussions with Galatasaray and he had talked with Drogba about his prospective switch.
"I'm very pleased with Galatasaray's offer," he told Turkish newspaper, Sabah. "I asked Drogba for advice and he told me that Istanbul is a fantastic city, that Galatasaray is a huge club and that I have to make the move.
"I have played at Chelsea for a long time and it's now time for me to leave.
"I'm still only 26 and it's great to receive an offer from a club playing Champions League football and doing well in the competition."
Having fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge Mikel is keen to get away, and is confident a deal can be done with the Turkish champions.
He added, "Talks have reached an advanced level between Chelsea and Galatasaray. Chelsea won't make the move difficult and regarding my salary there won't be a problem.
"All that is left is for the clubs to reach an agreement."

Helen Flanagan wants to try for a baby
Helen Flanagan wants to try for a baby this summer.
The former 'Coronation Street' star can't wait to start a family with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, and she's planning on coming off her medication for her acne in a few months time to improve her chances of conceiving.
She told OK! magazine: ''I would like to try at the end of summer, maybe.
''I'm on Accutane because I get quite bad acne - you can't get pregnant on the drug, and it takes a while to get out of your system.''
She added: ''I want to make sure I'm really, really, healthy before I try, check my hormones and stuff. I'm going to love being a mum.''
The 23-year-old actress admits despite her rocky relationship with Scott, 24, which saw them briefly part ways last year amid allegations of him cheating on her, she insists he's The One for her.
She explained: ''He is a genuinely a lovely person. Everyone that knows him says that he's a gentleman.''
The couple have recently taken their relationship to the next level by moving in together, but the blonde beauty admits juggling their routines is proving challenging.
Helen said previously: ''I get up early at six-o'clock in the morning, do a work out, set my day and do my emails. I'm a morning person basically. He gets up for training at 8:30am, so he's always like, 'Babe, the alarm!' I'm like, 'Oh, shut up and get up.'''15-04-2014

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
The guys are really enjoying the class and have improved their English a great deal and would like to continue learning.
Our Georgian courses in Toronto, taught on a one-on-one basis, are a real boon for those who need to improve their Georgian skills for use in a business environment. Most students start off with the studying basic business introductions but each person then gets the chance to learn what is going to be of most use to them. At the end of the beginner course, learners will be comfortable communicating via telephone and email in Georgian; in addition to gaining survival Georgian - the ability to communicate effectively during short trips to Georgian speaking countries.
With our Georgian courses in Toronto we will help you unlock your learning potential and learn what you need in order to fulfill your dreams. Once the basics are in the place you can decide what would be of most to you and learn it. This will make the learning experience more enjoyable as well as more useful. Everyone has different reasons for learning Georgian but they all need the same level of quality teaching. Our One-on-One courses will take you to the next level and give you the confidence to progress from there.
Of course, we don't all like to learn on our own all of the time. Those Georgian students who want their classes at the same time as someone else haven't been forgotten. They can still learn Georgian in Toronto in the best way possible thanks to our Two-on-One and In-Company Small Group sessions. This is another fine Georgian option in Toronto which can give the students all the great teaching they need. We only ask that they are of the same level in Georgian and that they book at the same time as well as take classes together. While 8 students is the maximum recommended by Language Trainers we can cater for up to 12 people on our In-Company Taster Georgian Course.

Body blow for Ukraine after home defeat by Montenegro
KIEV (Reuters) - Montenegro joined England on top of the World Cup Group H qualifying table with a surprise 1-0 victory in Ukraine as the home team's hopes received a serious jolt on Tuesday.
Dejan Damjanovic scored the only goal in the 45th minute after good work down the right by Stevan Jovetic.
Jovetic then missed a golden chance to make it 2-0 when his scuffed penalty was saved by keeper Andriy Pyatov after Evhen Selin brought down Miodrag Dzudovic 10 minutes from time.
Ukraine defender Oleksander Kucher and Montenegro keeper Mladen Bozovic were booked for brawling during a break in play.
The hosts were without coach Oleg Blokhin after he had an operation last week to treat thrombosis.
It was due to be Blokhin's last game in charge before he takes over as coach of Dynamo Kiev on a full-time basis.
Montenegro have seven points from three games, level with group leaders England who had their match with Poland in Warsaw on Tuesday put back 24 hours because of a waterlogged pitch.
Ukraine have two points and are third from bottom.

A tax rule that's been on the books since 1982 is making life difficult for businesses that sell medical marijuana in the 18 states where it's legal, according to CNN Money.
The rule was added to keep drug traffickers from deducting the benefits of a life of crime on their taxes. One convicted guy managed to deduct his guns, bribes, and yacht as business expenses. The IRS said: Uh, no, that stops now.
And now it stops those who legally sell drugs from deducting legitimate, fairly typical business expenses, including rent and payroll. This pushes the effective tax rate for these companies much higher than most – up to 75 percent. It's pushing some out of business and keeping others from hiring or giving employees raises. From CNN…
Jim Marty, an accountant in Colorado specializing in medicinal marijuana tax law, said he has one client that didn't turn a profit in 2009, 2010 or 2011. In 2012, though, she was handed a $300,000 tax bill from the IRS for those three proceeding years.
Of course, marijuana opponents who lost the battle over legal status probably like it that way. But several groups are arguing the law is outdated and not relevant to this new "industry." It may get changed – eventually.

Developing Cross-Border Regional Innovation Systems: Key Factors And Challenges
AbstractThe literature on regional innovation systems has considerably enhanced our understanding of the critical role played by geographical proximity and local institutional conditions for the production of new knowledge and its economic exploitation. In most cases, however, both theoretical and empirical work has focused on regional innovation systems situated within a national context. Little research has been done so far on cross-border regional innovation systems. The aim of this paper is to explore conceptually whether the theoretical approach of regional innovation systems can be applied to cross-border settings. It investigates some critical conditions for the emergence of transfrontier innovation systems and concludes that cross-border areas differ enormously regarding their capacity to develop an integrated innovation space.

Screw These Skinny Jeans!
By ChickTalkDallas on September 13, 2010
Do you own skinny jeans? Do you love them? Or do you despise the hell out of the fad as much as I do. For some reason I decided to buy skinny jeans. I know I'm not skinny. I know my legs and hips and thighs don't naturally fit into a jean/spandex blend very well. But I'm turning 30 and dammit, I still got it! Or so I thought two weeks ago when I stood in front of shelves of tight, tapered, studded denim pants that stuck to the mannequins legs in the store like thick panty hose.
I love being able to wear boots on the outside of my jeans. I love that I feel fashionable in distressed denim. And I see girls everywhere in skinny jeans. Usually, it's young 20 somethings and an increasing number of young Latina girls who don't mind that skinny jeans weren't ever meant for hips and curves but rather coltish figures with narrow pelvic bones.
I've worn my skinny jeans with pride. I've worn them with sandals, casual and cool. I've tried and tried, but I hate, I hate, I hate! my skinny jeans! (Follow www.chicktalkdallas.com)
I hate that they never, ever stay up on my hips. I hate the my muffin top pushes them down and I'm forced to wear a belt with my "skinny" jeans that in no way make me feel skinny and somehow insult all of the other jeans—the curvy, the boot cut, the high waisted—in my closet that I can't help but feel are chubby pieces of cotton blend that "cool" people aren't wearing. Even style guru Tim Gunn has mixed feeling about skinny jeans. In a Q &A with Marie Claire magazine Gunn said, "The skinny jean or pant that looks like a cousin of the leggings isn't for everyone. In my point of view, it's a look that only works for teens and early-20-somethings. Period."
It's a brilliant marketing technique. Call a pair of pants skinny jeans—not ill fitting denim meant only for pre-pubescent girls or actual skinny people with no ass to speak of—and women will buy them thinking they are a) skinny and b) thin if they can somehow squeeze their jiggly bits inside.
Well, screw you skinny jeans! I am not skinny. I am hippy and low waisted and that does not make me fat-pants girl. I have the figure I have. And I like my curves. And so do a lot of women. Remember when we used to wear pants that flattered our backsides, our figures and were comfortably cool—not fashionably tight?
If I want to wear boots, I'll put on tights or a short skirt. I refuse to play a crotch-crawl, ass fall game with my skinny jeans anymore. We're done. It was fun. But it's over. I'm going back to my big girl pants, and I look great in them! (Follow www.chicktalkdallas.com)

Stuff yourself with sausage 'cake'
Last updated at 20:46, Thursday, 22 December 2011
For us a good Christmas dinner is all about interesting accompaniments.
That means good veg, good sauces and good stuffing.
To make this year super exciting, we have our very own sausage meat and bacon produced from our first pigs to slaughter so that should bring an extra element of luxury (slow grown, outdoor reared pork) to our stuffing.
We like to combine the idea of separate stuffing and pigs in blankets to make a 'heavy on the sausage meat' stuffing. We usually do this like a swiss roll with a sausage centre wrapped in bacon, but this year we're going to give this festive sausage stuffing cake a go.
Never mind the turkey – this will steal the limelight as a fab centrepiece.
Serves eight to 10.
2 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional, but we like it in almost everything)
¼ bulb fennel
100g white breadcrumbs
500g good-quality sausage meat (if you have not managed to rear your own pigs(!) then we recommend buying good quality sausages and discarding the skins – or you can get really good sausage meat at Pioneer in Harrington)
50g roughly chopped walnuts, plus extra to serve
Grated zest of one orange
A handful of dried apricots, chopped
Small handful of chopped sage leaves
Small handful chopped parsley
Small handful of chopped rosemary
1 egg, beaten
8 rashers rindless streaky bacon
Salt and pepper
Heat the oven to 200C.
You will need an 18-20cm spring form cake tin.
Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion, celery, garlic and fennel for 5 minutes without colouring them.
Allow them to cool slightly. Tip the vegetables into a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, sausage meat, walnuts, orange zest, apricots and herbs. Add plenty of pepper and a little salt and mix together with your hands. Add the egg then mix well.
Arrange the bacon slices around the sides of the tin, leaving roughly a 5cm strip of the rasher on the base and then letting the excess hang over the edge of the tin.
Carefully fill the tin with the stuffing mix, so as not to disturb the bacon and level it out on top.
Fold the excess hanging bacon over the top of the stuffing, gathering and twisting the ends loosely in the centre – this gives it an attractive look once cooked and means the bacon gets crispier. Scatter over the extra walnuts, pressing them in slightly.
Set the tin on a baking sheet lined with foil to catch any juices that escape.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then remove onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges to serve.
Fancy a change? You can vary the herbs in the cake or substitute dried for fresh.
You could use dried cranberries or prunes instead of apricots, and you could add some grated apple to the mixture for extra moisture and flavour.
Obviously this is great hot but also good cold on a buffet.
If you don't have a cake tin, you can easily do this in a loaf tin instead.

It's Thursday but Sundy's mind is still on the Monday night fight which aired on "Basketball Wives" this week…
Sundy Carter Posts A Clip Showing Malaysia Pargo May Have Punched Her
Jackie Christie's blackeyed bestie posted this video on her Instagram today "to set the record straight":
What do you think? Was Malaysia actually the one to blacken Draya's eye???
We kinda gotta wonder if it even matters at this point. At the end of the day Sundy called Draya's son a pansy (out of pocket THOT behavior) and she got a black eye to show for it. Who cares who actually landed the punch?
Hit the flip for more of Sundy and Draya's tweets on the matter as well as a shot of Sundy's backs in that bikini she took off after the fight…

A powerfully addictive novel from the No. 1 bestseller Martina Cole Gabby looked at the woman she had hated nearly all her life. Then she sat down on the ladder-backed chair, put her face into her bloodied hands and cried. To the outside world, Cynthia Tailor is a woman to envy; she has a devoted husband, a lovely home and two gorgeous children. But Cynthia is deeply unhappy with her lot; she has always craved the best things in life, and is determined to see that she gets them. Cynthia will let nothing stand in her way, even if it means devastation and tragedy for those nearest to her. And the casualties are many: her husband Jimmy, weak and unable to fight the wife he can never please; her sister Celeste, from whom Cynthia steals her most precious possession; and her parents, Mary and Jack, who pick up the pieces. But the victims who suffer the most are Cynthia's children. For James Junior and Gabby, the pain she causes will stay with them for ever...
Author's Biography
Martina Cole is the No. 1 bestselling author of seventeen hugely successful novels. Her hard-hitting, uncompromising and haunting writing makes for an incredible read, and sales of her books now stand at over ten million copies. She is the person who dares to tell it like it really is.


text: I spoke with the owner on the way in who recommended their roast. Feeling not that hungry I opted for a BLT instead. The chef apparently forgot to toast the bread making it a pretty mushy endeavor for which the owner later apologized. If you do go, I'd advise going for whatever is their special that night.

David Sabada, owner and president of A-Mrazek Moving Systems and Sabada Relocation Inc., saw the corporate relocation business at his combined companies decline between 12 percent and 17 percent from 2001 to 2002.
"There has been a significant drop in corporate relocation," he said. "We have seen signs in January and March that things were picking up steadily, but they didn't stay at that level; things weren't steady."
Sabada attributes the decline to restructuring by companies as a result of the sluggish economy.
"They say, 'Thank you for your business and years of service, but we're making some changes,'" he said.
But Sabada is optimistic in the near term.
"There are a lot of good, available people out there and, in my opinion, the economy has stablized, so it's a great opportunity for companies to bring in key people," he said. "In the future I think we're going to see a steady incline, but I don't know if we're going to see it back the way it was three or four years ago."
Corporate relocations in the United States dropped 30 percent from 2001 to 2002, according to Denise Hall, director of marketing at St. Louis-based Vandover.
"That's a nationwide figure. I've seen various statistics, some at 15 percent down and some as high as 40 percent down," Hall said. "In the first quarter of 2003 we're maybe starting to see a little bit of an increase.
"We're kind of holding our breath on 2003. Consumer attitude has spiked a little bit so we have some guarded optimism that it could come back."
Vandover provides global family relocation and spousal assistance for corporate clients.
"We've added additional corporate clients in 2002, so as far as sales for our company, it was a good year for us. But those corporate clients are not moving that many people," Hall said.

Another structural factor implicated in the rise of human trafficking is restrictive immigration policies. It is normal in many countries to consider trafficked women as migration criminals—i.e., as illegal migrants who should be deported from a country when police raids are conducted on brothels or clubs. Victims of trafficking are often treated as "undesirable and criminal aliens" in countries to which they are trafficked. This perspective is often reflected in national legislation in destination countries that makes immigration more restrictive, thus obstructing the flow of migrants seeking to enter countries legitimately.
Ironically, these restrictive immigration policies tighten up border controls that often are used to harass vulnerable migrants but have little effect on the traffickers. What we are seeing in many industrialized countries, particularly in "Fortress Europe," is a mentality promoting globalization of capital, but not globalization of humane and regular migration. Countries want cheap labor, and sex industries want a new and fresh supply of exotic women for prostitution, but in most parts of the world, the possibilities for legal migration have decreased substantially. As immigration becomes more restrictive and discriminatory, and ineffective border controls are utilized in receiving countries, traffickers become the major international players who facilitate international migration because the legitimate channels are so restrictive.

This is the perfect visual metaphor for heterosexuality.
I really can't get over what a good metaphor this is.
they could've just made them square but that'd probably be too gay
but then how would the dude be in the lady's space, expropriating her value? D:
Guys, this is obviously literally meant as a metaphor for the depressingly common dynamics of most heterosexual relationships, and indeed of society in general.
the 'hers' cup only appears to have a normal shape when paired with the 'his' cup. on its own, the cup would appear to be missing something. why is heterosexuality so terrible?
This has to literally be a metaphor for heterosexual relationships. There is no way someone made such a perfect representation by accident.
my feminism stands in full support of "ugly" women both as conventional beauty standards prove themselves to be racist, fatphobic, time-consuming, and all around bullshitty; and insofar as women do not have to be visually appealing in order to have worth as people

I actually refuse to believe that there is anyone genuinely arguing that "fuck them skinny bitches" is a problematic, body-shaming, anti-feminist statement.
I mean, I don't even care to engage in the ~politics~ of ~bodies~. I just don't want to live in a world where anyone is that joyless.

Awww yeah, another day, another Cranky Steve map review. Squonkamatic takes a dangerous look at the latest horrible Quake 3: Arena map, "Supacaca":
This is probably the most ridiculous looking map that I can remember playing in since the glory days of the Simpsons TC for DOOM; it is profoundly silly. The author went out of his / her / its way to meticulously design a series of custom textures that recall the worst of meaningless abstract pop painting (though the floor is a missing texture black and white grid: whatever). I mean, I can sort of see what the author is getting at when he urges people to remember that Quake doesn't have to be dingy brown and gray... but happy neon blue and glowing pastel lavender and grinning happy yellow smiley faces? Are we supposed to be playing inside of Timothy Leary's Lego set?
Folks, I can vouch for Squonkamatic here: this map is a colorful mess of RGB villainy. You gotta see it to believe it.
Taco the Wonder Dog has two amazing comics up for all of us to gaze upon and guess the brand name of the cough syrup he overdosed on before drawing them. First up is "THE ADVENTURES OF OIL MAN", which also features a guest appearance by everybody's favorite, Inspector Urine. Next we have "A CARTOON TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN GOD", which will supposedly... well... I'm sure you get the picture.
Wow, That's Amazing! has a pretty damn funny guide entitled, "How to Get Mugged." I'm sure all of you out there were wondering how you too could get robbed and threatened with bodily harm, and this article comes through swimmingly.
What if I get mugged Sar!? What should I do! Well my son, daughter, or sex toy, here is what you should do: Take all your money out of your wallet and hand it to the mugger. AND THAT'S HOW MUGGING WORKS! (Oh! And if you have any left send it to me. Unlike being mugged or shot, I like money.)
Simply put, if I had Johnny Manziel's physical gifts, you better believe I would be there in the Weight Room, getting to bed early, doing whatever I had to do to be the best possible athlete I could be. I wouldn't be posting on social media about sucking titties. I wouldn't even look at a titty, buddy. I'd look at a titty and see two big footballs.
A real friend doesn't move until the middle of August, ensuring temperatures in the 90s and a humidity that turns boxers into moist balls of ruined cotton.

12 oz. can stolen from a friend's fridge. Think he said he got it at Walgreen's but then I didn't think any Walgreen's in San Diego sold beer. Perhaps the times they are a changin'. Poured into a piint glass alongside a partially finished reference PBR glass. Big Flats pours a bit deeper, say a deep straw in color. A thin cap flitters away rather swiftly.
Aroma is full and a bit sweet with nondescript grainy sweet notes and lacking much of a yeast or hop profile. Offers a touch of citrus on the flavor which is otherwise a bit rough around the edges like the aroma. Tough of spice/citrus again though the utter lack of carbonation is not helping here.
Body leaves a bit to be desired as well, again largely due to the lack of carbonation. Interestingly this beer does in a way resemble Simpler Times from Trader Joe's and both find thier source in LaCrosse, WI. The Simpler Times(Lager) has a bit more finesse and carbonation however. In the end a bit rough.

Like many others, I picked this up at Walgreens at $3.49 for a six-pack. I was going to pick up a few beers and didn't really feel like going anywhere else, so why not, I thought to myself. I wasn't expecting much at all, and since my normal beer drinking is done toward the low end (think Pabst, Schlitz, Schaefer, etc.), I couldn't see myself being too disappointed. I wasn't.
Big Flats 1901 is what I would call a very drinkable beer, a good yard work beer that works equally well washing down spicy Indian food or a greasy pizza (two pairings I've sampled at this point). Despite what some here have to say about it (beer snobs unite at this point, it's ok, I've been referred to as such due to my disdain for Bud Select), it really isn't bad.
Color is the usual macro very light straw yellow. There isn't much aroma other than from corn and the can. It pours a decent two-finger head and leaves a nice lacing as you drink it down (for my samplings I used a New Belgium globe glass). As for taste, I'm just going to say that it tastes good (grainy malt, slightly sweet with just enough hops to notice) and that it goes down smooth with little to no aftertaste. It's watery, but that's not a bad thing in this case (not every beer needs to be an oatmeal stout).
Really, for the price, it's not bad. I'd rather drink this at $3.50 for a six pack than any of the big macro-brewery's mainstream options at a couple of dollars more. It's exceptionally drinkable, and good enough that I've bought four more six packs since my initial purchase. It does the job, and frankly, I do prefer it to Pabst.

This is the new Walgreen's beer that sells for $3.72 for a sixer of cans. This one pours a pale yellow fizzy golden hue with a bright white head leaving a sporadic chunky sight of lace. Aroma has big cereal notes with slightly harsh tones of cereal grain offness, a bit of metallic edge. Some cooked veggies slightly cereal sweetness. Flavor wise more unwelcoming harshness, I just don't understand why Walgreen's wants to offer this caliber of shit beer along with your prescriptions. Cheap yes, good no. Will it satisfy your shitty beer cravings, wait hold on you really crave shitty beer. Maybe this site isn't for you. I really haven't liked anything from this beer marketing company out of Novato, CA. Especially Moe's Taproom No. 21, Cegauama, and Hollande 1500 and something. This carbonation and mouthfeel doesn't reinforce any reason why you should be drinking this can, overall shitty beer contract brewed by the good folks at Genesee sorry if I want cheap beer I will grab a six of Genny pounders.

I was curious since the price of the 6-pack was $2.99!! i had to try it.
A pale white-gold color with a standard but decent high white head that actually had slow dissipation leaving a decent amount of stuff around.
A basic adjunct lager aroma with dry corn, wheat, light and sweet-bready malt but with an unpleasent perm-treatment chemmy smell.
The flavor is pretty clean as it states on the can: "It's the water that makes it"...and it's plenty watery feel and flavor but with all of the right aspects like crispy malt and musty yeastie backdrop. there is nothing "off' in the flavor so it's really not a bad taste for the price.
don't be affraid to drink this one straight from the can!

Wife found this while out shopping for the 4th. I think she said $3.49 for the sixer!
Pours a clear gold with a nice 2 finger head that dropped in time. the remaining ring left a receding bit of lace.
Mild grainy lager smell is what I got here
Taste is clean, mildly sweet with a bit of a bite on the finish. Thin mouthfeel with pretty strong carbonation.
Nothing complex, just a basic, easy drinking session beer. I also call beers like this "Lawnmower beers"
If it stays local, I'd gladly drink this on these hot summer days. Not bad.

While I'm not a fan of this beer if your having a beer pong party this would be the beer to use.It's cheap effective for that purpose.

A - Clear vivid yellow with a decent little head (for the style at least). Darker yellow than most adjunct lagers.
S - Fruity esters and musty grain husk. Smells cheap.
T - Overripe fruit, and not in a good way. Tastes like rotten apples and bananas that have been left to ferment. Actually not too bad.... it's growing on me.
M - LIght and crisp. Thirst quenching.
Honestly, the rotten fruit aspect isn't really good, but at least it is pretty flavorful compared to some macros that taste like carbonated water. Not bad for the bottom of the barrel price.

Pale, clear, piss-yellow with a big head, this dirt-cheap canned lager is malty and sweet upon initial tasting.
Sweet corn flavor, with a hint of hops at the finish. Nothing remarkable or unique here, but for the price ($2.99 a 6-pack at Walgreen's), this one's a decent bargain for a party or to share with friends.
Incidentally, all of my less-than-picky non-craft drinking friends enjoyed this!

2.8/5 rDev +11.1%
Appearance: Pretty average in color. Straw yellow. Gives a nice pour overall. Not much lacing, but some foam is nice. Carbonation is fairly heavy and definitely rustic.
Smell: Pretty clean overall. Mostly boiled or lightly baked grain. Pretty fresh overall.
Taste/Mouthfeel: I've tried this out of the can and poured into a glass and I definitely notice a difference. It comes across cleaner at the beginning but with a thicker, sour mouthfeel. In contrast, out of the can it tastes more metallic at the beginning and tastes and feels cleaner in the finish. Definitely carbonated all around though yet a bit flat in the finish.
Drinkability: I'm gonna give this some credit. Nothing terrible about it makes it untolerable.
Overall: Not quite as good as macro lagers, but better than the cheap versions.

2.17/5 rDev -13.9%
Pours about as close to clear as beer gets, just a faint straw color with fizzy white head and some lively, fizzy carbonation. Aroma of adjunct malt, with some oddly fruity sweet notes. Palate is light, which is merciful, since the main flavors are off adjunct malt and puzzling fruity notes. Body is light and fizzy, which is at least refreshing. Pretty terrible, but it goes down fairly easy, if that's what you're looking for.

12oz can into pint pint glass
A: Lots of carbonation bubbles sticking to the glass and good levels of carbonation. Body has a very clear yellow character. White head sinks very quickly.
S: The aroma has a very high level of rice and other adjuncts. No real hop or malty tone. Light aroma for style.
T/M: The first sip shows a grassy, corn element. The low level of hop character is not balanced with the other low level of other tastes. Mouthfeel is standard and crisp for the style.
O: This a bit of a lack luster brew, to the style it does not set a very good example.

Poured from the can into a pint glass.
Take the glass you had your MGD in and fill it up with water. The only beer factor that this even had was the nice white head on it. A lot of bubbles.
Smells like straw and malt...or maybe straw WAS the malt. Not very much of anything else going on here...really.
The can says it's made with the choicest hops... Those hops must be so rare and choicest that they couldn't find any to put in the beer. Taste was almost tinny, like it pulled something from the aluminum can. In all fairness, it wasn't awful...just not good.
The carbonation is pretty big in this one. Almost cola like.
Drinkability? Yeah, you can down as much of this as you can hold water. Thing is, you more than likely picked up this beer on the fact that Walgreens now has a beer and as a BA you just had to try it for the sake of shit's and giggles. It almost looks like a gag gift. It's pretty damn close to Hamm's, although I think Hamm's is better. One of the best parts for me is, it says Premium Brew... Seems like it should be in a simple white can that says BEER in black letters.

State insurance office defends whistle-blower's removal
The hearings officer who decides contested insurance cases files a whistle-blower complaint alleging improper coercion from an official in the Office of the Insurance Commissioner; a day later she is removed from her job. The insurance office says there was no connection; others aren't sure.
Seattle Times health reporter
A hearings officer has filed a whistle-blower complaint alleging the chief deputy to Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler tried to improperly influence her on cases. But that's not why she was removed from hearing cases, Kreidler's office said Monday.
Chief presiding officer Patricia Petersen, in the midst of an intensely contested case, was removed from her position and was placed on paid leave last week because of a "separate personnel matter which we cannot speak to at this time," said Stephanie Marquis, spokeswoman for the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC).
The day before her removal Wednesday, Petersen filed a whistle-blower complaint with the Washington state Auditor's Office alleging that OIC Chief Deputy Commissioner Jim Odiorne had violated state law by attempting to influence her on cases before her. She checked the box for "gross mismanagement" in her complaint,
She also filed a notice of communications by Odiorne in a case now before her involving several insurers and Seattle Children's hospital, which is seeking an order requiring the insurers to include the medical center in their provider networks. A June 9 hearing date was set in that case, but the legal wrangling could delay a decision in an issue crucial to health insurance being offered under the Affordable Care Act.
Petersen, who has been the OIC's chief presiding officer for 19 years, and decided contested cases for nine years before that, is supposed to independently evaluate cases that come before her.
Although she is an employee of the OIC, she is essentially a judge. And like a judge, she is required to conform to rules involving conversations or communications with one side or the other in such cases. Such "ex parte" communications are illegal and must be disclosed, Petersen said in a filing in the Seattle Children's case.
In the past year, many of the cases before Petersen have grown increasingly contentious and high-profile, particularly those involving decisions as to whether insurers' networks are adequate, and Kreidler's role in that issue has increasingly come under fire.
Insurers are seeking to pare networks to keep costs down, while providers such as Seattle Children's argue that insurers cannot deliver promised care without including them.
If the OIC does not approve of an insurer's network, the insurer cannot sell plans in this state, either on the Washington Healthplanfinder marketplace exchange or in the outside market.
And Petersen is at the center of it all.
Regarding the law governing ex parte communication, said Marquis, the OIC disagrees with her interpretation. It does not prohibit communications with employees who are not involved in the cases, she said, so conversations with Odiorne are allowed. "He is her direct supervisor; he speaks with her regularly," she said.
Petersen made a point of noting that Kreidler has never attempted to influence her on cases. In fact, she said, no agency official in her 28 years with the OIC had ever attempted to do so before now.
In the past, her decisions in cases have never figured into evaluations of her work performance, she wrote in the whistle-blower complaint, "nor have I ever received any other form of influence which would jeopardize my impartiality as the final decision maker in these contested hearings."
But beginning in September, she wrote, Odiorne began pressuring her to decide cases the way Kreidler wanted.
And, she said, as her direct supervisor, he made it clear that he would evaluate her on whether her decisions support the commissioner's position. "Mr. Odiorne is clearly threatening my job if I do not enter decisions in these cases which support the Commissioner's position," Peterson wrote in the complaint.
Her decisions are appealed directly to Superior Court; Petersen said in her 10-page complaint she had never been overturned on appeal.
During a pre-conference hearing in the network case last week, Michael Madden, the lawyer for Seattle Children's, said he had received an anonymous copy of the whistle-blower complaint that Petersen filed the day before.
The lawyer sent the complaint to the other lawyers, who agreed that they would have to discuss whether to ask that Petersen remove herself from the case. They called such a communication "unprecedented," and one questioned whether Petersen herself or someone in the OIC had sent the copy. The rules for ex parte communication apply to her, as well.
Madden noted that Seattle Children's did not want to lose its hearing date. "I lay no fault at your feet," he told Petersen. "But if as a result of actions by members of the Insurance Commissioner's staff, we are deprived of a timely hearing and a remedy, I think we will have been deprived of due process."
Just who sent that whistle-blower complaint anonymously from an Olympia Office Depot is now the subject of much investigation.
Jim Brownell, whistle-blower program manager for the state Auditor's Office, said the possibility that a copy of the complaint was sent by an auditor's staff member has been investigated. "Visually, it was very evident it wasn't from our shop," he said. "I'm very confident of that."
Greg Devereaux, executive director of the Washington Federation of State Employees, has helped advise Petersen. She invited him to a meeting with Odiorne a few weeks ago, he said, but he was not allowed to attend and was escorted out of the building.
"I believe [the OIC] is trying to influence cases," he said. "I don't think by any stretch of the imagination is that appropriate." He said Petersen told him she did not send the copy of the complaint, and that he has reason to believe her.
The auditor has 15 working days to decide whether to investigate the complaint.
Meanwhile, Marquis said the OIC will be conducting an "internal investigation" of Petersen's allegations.
"We do take ex parte communications very seriously, and the law that governs them," she said.
