My Journal
My Journal
Why is it that so many threads turn into snark fests? The latest is the one asking about sugar-free bacon. It's turned into a argument about sugar. And that's just one of many. It irritates me when people just won't let it go. Arguing with people hardly ever makes them change their minds--I read a study about that (really!) but I'm not going to bother to find the reference and link it. if you don't believe me, consult your own personal experience. How often have you been able to sway someone to your side of an argument? (Without resorting to violence!)
I've forgotten my rule about only surfing around in journals. *sigh* But once in awhile, a thread has some interesting or useful information. I really would have liked to find a cheaper source of bacon than US Wellness Meats. I've decided that I'm going to buy a smoker for Sweetie for his birthday and he'll smoke our own bacon. (And yes, he's already agreed to this! )
Smoking your own bacon Goldie? Road trip to Utah! Seriously though, that is a great idea. Do you plan on curing it first of just putting it straight on the smoker? Great birthday gift btw.
As for arguments, no, they do not change anyone's mind, but it's the internet and many people are bored so arguing is easy entertainment. My favorite part (sarcasm) of arguments here is when people start pointing out logical fallacies. "OMG I can't believe you used a strawman/tinman/toto and Blah Blah's coefficient of internet arguing says...and wow, did you just violate blah's law of..." Dude, it is the internet. I'm just here because I am bored. If I can piss you off enough to make you respond so that I can type another reply instead of hanging myself due to boredom at work then I have already won this 'argument.'
somehow I manage to leave my intelligence and decorum at the door wherever I go. I doubt your journal will be an exception to that - not on the rug
What the F&#* is a decorum? - Mr. Anthony
We are smoking jowls this weekend. They have been curing for a week, we used sugar and salt. I thought about doing it w/o sugar but in the end I decided that the sugar isn't really a big deal now that I'm done with my one month of autoimmune protocol.
The snarky arguments can be somewhat entertaining, but it gets old pretty quick.
Life is death. We all take turns. It's sacred to eat during our turn and be eaten when our turn is over. RichMahogany.

Win by 24 points, and typically it's a good thing. But there was a strange uneasiness around the Metrodome as fans filed out near the end of a 34-10 thrashing of the Cardinals on Sunday. It was the Vikings' first victory of the season, but remarkably they have outscored their opponents by five points (111-106) on the season and have a plus-3 turnover margin. And yet there remain concerns about the offense, especially at quarterback.
The PFW Spin
It was a bizarre sight and sound, hearing the consistent ringing of "We want Ponder!" throughout the crowd Sunday, even as the Vikings stormed to a 28-0 lead in the game's first 12-plus minutes. Ponder, of course, is rookie Christian Ponder, the team's backup quarterback and first-round pick, and no player is more popular than the one who has yet to play.
Head coach Leslie Frazier has been publicly resolute in his support of QB Donovan McNabb, saying he is not making a switch with his starter. That certainly is not as likely to change after a blowout win, but a closer look at the tape reveals that the passing game was woeful at times, much of it because of McNabb's inaccuracy.
The defense and special teams were the early heroes, setting up very favorable field position on the first three drives, and the running game did the heavy lifting from there. Along the way through the game, McNabb made a handful of impressive throws, but they were far outweighed by some absolute clunkers, including a screen-pass attempt that was five yards short of his intended target, who stood eight yards away.
McNabb also hit Devin Aromashodu, a free-agent wideout who appears to have fully supplanted split end Bernard Berrian, on a 60-yard route, but it was Aromashodu who gained at least 40 of the yards after the catch. McNabb's rushing TD was the play of a crafty veteran, but he offsets those kinds of plays with too many incomplete passes; on the season, he has completed a mere 56.8 percent of his passes and for 6.43 yards per attempt, both his lowest numbers since the early 2000s.
The naked truth is that Ponder is almost certain to struggle. He looked slow to diagnose in the preseason and appeared to be a player who needed more reps and more time to absorb the offense. But the on-the-job training has to start sometime, and it was none more evident than in the Vikings' blowout win — one that McNabb made few major contributions to — that a change has to come at some point.
It wouldn't be a season saver, not at 1-4 with other holes on the football team. But it would give the Vikings the chance to find out what they have. They are not likely to be in line for the first pick in the draft, and thus in a position to take Stanford's Andrew Luck, but you never know. The Panthers are mighty glad that Jimmy Clausen played last year and showed that he was not a franchise changer. That allowed them to pick Cam Newton, who has been tremendous as a rookie.

iPhone may get 'intelligent' battery management system
Share on Facebook
Share on Twitter
Times of India
160 days ago
Posted By: Rampaul singh
Tired of charging your iPhone every few hours? It seems Apple is finally working on a way to increase the battery backup offered by its premium smartphone.
According to a report by Apple Insider, Apple has filed a patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office that talks about a way through which a mobile device could monitor the charge and discharge cycles of its battery and utilize the information to predict what a user will do at a given point in time.
The predictions will help the device to alter settings for screen brightness, processor clock speed and other parameters to conserve battery while optimizing processing power.
The patent filing is titled 'Inferring user intent from battery usage level and charging trends,' and Apple mentions that it details techniques for power management of a portable device.
"According to one embodiment, a user agent of an operating system executed within a portable device is configured to monitor daily battery usage of a battery of the portable device, to capturing, by the user agent, daily battery charging pattern of the battery of the portable device, and to inferring, by the user agent, user intent of utilizing the portable device at a given point in time based on a battery operating condition at the point in time in view of the daily battery usage and the daily battery charging pattern. Power management logic is configured to perform power management actions based on the user intent," says Apple.
As per Apple, the system would take information from the applications the user runs, sensors (ambient light, motions (gyro, light sensors), location (global positioning system or GPS), wireless network availability) collecting data about the user's environment, and from the user's physical interactions with the device (screen on/off, power adapter attach/detach). It would analyze the information from the various heuristics and select the best combination of performance and efficiency.
Unlike conventional battery saving techniques that start power management only when the battery is already very low, Apple's power management technique will focus on long term power budgeting to ensure "that the device's power usage over time does not deplete the battery," as per Apple.
This means that the phone could reduce battery brightness when the user is in a dark room or automatically turn on the phone's airplane mode when a user presents a boarding pass through Apple's Passbook app or judge if the phone will be able to play a movie for its entire duration and reduce the frame rate or stop other apps. The system would be capable of assessing the flight duration through the calendar or the duration of the movie via metadata.
However, power users need not worry as Apple will be able to determine if a user uses the device extensively and accordingly the system will not tinker with the phone.
"If the charge consumed exceeds the batteries capacity significantly then the user is certainly using its device fully and the power management system's effect on performance to avoid the mid-day charge would likely be upsetting to the user,"Apple added.
As with all patent filings, it is difficult to predict when Apple will deploy the new intelligent battery management technology or whether it will actually use it ever.

Job portals popular for entry, mid level hiring
18 hrs ago
Online job sites have revolutionised the recruitment landscape for both employers and job seekers and have increased the efficiency with which hiring decisions take place. The best part of search options in job portals is that it always shows the recently updated resumes at the top thus, providing fresh talent at the very beginning. Vikas Malhotra, head HR, M3M India shares what companies look for while choosing a job portal for searching candidates: Which level is generally hired from job portals? We prefer to hire junior or middle level candidates from job portals as placement agencies play a better role in negotiations while hiring senior level executives. Are specific roles used through job portals? How useful are they in searching for niche skills/profiles? Job portals are useful for all types of roles but serve best for junior and middle level requirements. The best part of search options in job portals is that it always shows the recently updated resumes at the top thus, providing fresh talent at the very beginning. When it comes to searching top management profiles or niche categories, these are not very apt as senior management hiring requires a lot of in-depth and ground work which a dedicated placement agency can handle better than these portals. What are the three key things you look for while choosing a job portal for searching candidate? Online job sites have revolutionised the recruitment landscape for both employers and job seekers and have increased efficiency with which hiring decisions can take place. The three most important things that we look for in any job site are costing, database and features (search options). A well defined and easy to use interface with excellent filtration criteria can really help in finding the potential future candidates in the easiest, most rapid and efficient way. What is the most challenging part of using a job portal for candidate search? Authenticity of information can be little critical as sometimes the information posted on job portals by the candidates is not reviewed or screened. Unlike in the traditional way of hiring, it often becomes difficult to analyse the curiosity of the candidates as many of them upload their profiles on the portals only to check their market value. Any elements you think job portals should incorporate for better results and effectiveness? Reviewing or screening uploaded profiles before they are published on the job sites can drastically cut down the real time to hire. This process will help these sites to establish themselves as prominent job portals with top-of-the-mind recall while offering relevant and high quality profiles Integration of social media links with the candidates' profiles can add a value and will provide various platforms to the employers to better understand the candidates' basis the job requirements Neha Singh Verma, TimesJobs.com Bureau The post Job portals popular for entry, mid level hiring appeared first on TJInsite.

Sir Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power", but then he lived in 16th century Britain and we are living in digital times, where knowledge has given up its spot to information and dusty scrolls in libraries have given way to servers storing much more information. We give out our personal information voluntarily to entities such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. In exchange, they make us feel advanced, developed and to take that one-step further, they sell us 'connected'. We buy it.Over the years, Google and Amazon, thanks to their laurels as top search engine and shopping network respectively, have amassed unfathomable amounts of personal information. While Google has been channelling that to target user-specific ads through Google Adwords, Amazon is trying to enter this field...Read More

8 Best Practices for Tightening Internal Data Security
1 day ago
Just how safe is your company data? According to the IBM Cyber Security Intelligence Index, U.S. businesses experienced over 1.5 million monitored cyber attacks in 2013 alone. Sensitive information regarding your internal operations, your customers and your employees is at risk if your organization does not take proper measures to secure its data. Take a look at these eight crucial security reminders for business leaders to keep in mind.1. Password Character Requirements. There's a reason why so many web-based consumer services require complex passwords. Unauthorized users are less likely to guess passwords when employees use a blend of phrases, upper and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation. Work with your IT department to configure the password requirements for your employees.2. Password rotation. Passwords that go stagnant are a liability for companies. For example...Read More
3 Ways to Communicate With Confidence

Being the face of your company is an unexpected, exciting and sometimes frightening aspect of entrepreneurship. For some, nothing throws them out of their element quite like public speaking, or being with a group of new people. But before you freeze up, keep these steps in mind.1. Know your story. Have an answer ready in your back pocket to explain what you do, how you got started and why it's important to you.2. Be curious. You'll find that asking questions will help take the pressure off. By inquiring about what others are excited about, you could learn something new, or find that you're in a position to help them.3. Be an active listener. Conversation is about give and take. Make sure you aren't just hearing others but really....Read More

5 Biggest Facebook Mistakes

The world's biggest social network turned 10 this year. With 57% of the American population — and 73% of teenagers — among its user base, Facebook has morphed from a way for college undergrads to communicate to a multi-tentacled service that has become an integral part of our everyday lives, from connecting us with long-lost friends to serving as the Internet's de facto photo-sharing service to doubling as a universal login to thousands of sites and apps across the Internet.But with regular introductions of privacy-flouting new features and different sets of etiquette for connecting with colleagues, friends and family, it can be all too easy to make a Facebook misstep that sends the wrong message into the world.Below are five of the most-common Facebook faux pas – and how to avoid them.1.

3 Hiring Questions Steal from Amazons CEO
1 day ago
Amazon has forever changed the way people shop online, but it wasn't always the juggernaut that it is today. In fact, once upon a time it was just a tiny startup with a big vision. So, how did it end up as the giant online retailer that it is now?It's hard to say, but one thing founder Jeff Bezos was very intentional about was how he hired for the company. In fact, in his 1998 letter to shareholders, just four years after Amazon was founded, Bezos wrote, "It would be impossible to produce results in an environment as dynamic as the Internet without extraordinary people… Setting the bar high in our approach to hiring has been, and will continue to be, the single most important element of Amazon.com's success.Since then, Bezos has charged his hiring mangers to hire based on three critical measures. And if you were to ask him, it's these questions that have made all the difference.1. Will you admire this person?Bezos' first benchmark was about admiration. He wanted hiring managers to admire the people...Read More

Five years isn't a long way away, but human-resources experts predict significant changes within the workforce over the next half-decade.A sizable shift is coming as millennials take their seats at businesses large and small, and Baby Boomers simultaneously either retire or modify their work styles to reflect increasingly flexible and mobile opportunities.Given what's in play, what will the workforce look like in 2019?To get some answers, we spoke to analysts from different business and staffing sectors.

5 Factors That Make a Great Boss
1 day ago
The best bosses are the ones who can turn a good organization into a great company. They are the individuals who consistently push their employees to become better, more engaged and enable them to adapt to oncoming changes in the corporate landscape.Instead of suppressing employees, top-tier bosses encourage smart ideas, open conversation and creativity. They reward the employees who deserve recognition instead of promoting those who simply agree with them.Regardless of industry or size of company, studies have showed that the best bosses share common traits that lead to consistent success. The Common Traits and Qualities:1. An understanding of how to build confidence among employees. First-rate bosses don't allow their subordinates to blame circumstances or environment for their failures. They maintain an energy that is optimistic and focus on possibilities rather than problems. This "can-do" outlook becomes contagious. As a result, employee motivation and confidence continually increase and so does everyone's success rate.2. Fanatic discipline. The best bosses set high, but attainable performance benchmarks for the employees at the company as well as themselves. Relentlessly, they pursue these achievements regardless of whether they must work around the clock to meet those goals.Outstanding bosses don't let intimidation or harsh business environments dictate their actions. They are unwavering in their quest to preserve profitability and prevent bad habits from forming within the group.3. Consistency. The most effective bosses are the ones who don't get sidetracked by chasing the "next big thing." Instead, they make firm decisions as to the course of the organization and, thus are able to define clear roles and tasks that the employees must engage in.They never leave the overarching goals ambiguous and stick to a pattern of operation that works. Under a first-rate boss, everyone knows where they stand.4. Strength. The best bosses project strength and have the ability to get things done. Their employees look to them for advice because they possess the expertise and character that it takes to succeed. They are less concerned about being the most popular and more concerned with their commitment to progress.5. Strong loyalty to the company and those within the organization. The best bosses are the ones who are concerned less for their own personal greatness and put the company's needs first. Their ambition comes from wanting to make the organization money as opposed to being strictly focused on personal wealth. Instead of requiring outside recognition for their achievements, they quietly produce extraordinary results and set a positive example within the company.In the End: When you work for a manager who is a top-tier boss, you are rewarded for performance rather than favoritism. You grow both personally and professionally while working under them. They give your position a sense of meaning and your job becomes less of a job and more of a passion.

No matter who won Thursday night, the winner of the Neoga regional championship would be taking home its first regional title.
Ultimately, it would be the DIeterich Lady Maroons who would take home the crown, as they downed their NTC rival St. Anthony 42-26.
It was the third matchups between the teams this season, with the previous two matchups being decided by a total of three points.
Dieterich was the one to improve on those matchups, playing a stout 2-3 zone all night.
"We knew the key players," said Dieterich coach Donetta Ohnesorge. "We tried to really perfect our zone defense. We were scared of going to the 2-3 because of their outside forces.
"I really am proud of the girls, they stepped up and did what they needed to do. "
St. Anthony was prepared for the zone, but could not attack it in the way they wanted to, said coach Bart Wiedman.
"We wanted to attack Candace (Niemerg), we wanted her to come out to us, jump stop and hit the cutter," he said.
The Lady Maroons led from wire-to-wire, taking control in the first quarter behind NiemergÕs six points. They headed into the second up 12-7.
The defensive prowess continued, as St. Anthony only scored two points in the first seven minutes of the quarter on a Makayla Walsh layup.
Meanwhile, Dieterich senior Katilyn Meinhart came off the bench and drilled three huge three pointers, bringing the lead out to 23-9 with 4:41 left.
MeinhartÕs performance was a part of what Dieterich did well all night - knocking down shots when Niemerg was covered.
"Meinhart came in and gave us good offense when we needed it. Offensively, we stepped it up. The offense just came for us tonight.
A Morgan Gardewine three ended the Bulldog drought, and the Maroons led 24-12 going into the fourth quarter.
A three by Sydney Higgs and buckets by Courtney Flach and Taylor Wright extended the Maroon lead to 31-14 with 5:38 left.
Over the next five minutes, St. Anthony showed signs of life, going on a 6-0 run behind baskets by Melissa Bushur, Megan Nuxoll and Walsh.
But a three-point play by Niemerg ended the quarter with Dieterich up 34-20.
St. Anthony was held scoreless for the first three-and-a-half minutes of the quarter, but cut the lead back to 12 on a quick 6-0 run by Walsh to make it 38-26.
They wouldnÕt score again.
Defense was an issue early for St. Anthony, one from which they never recovered.
"We didnÕt do the things that weÕre good at," Weidman said. "WeÕre a really good defensive team."
Walsh led the team with 12 points, while no other Bulldog had more than four points.
The Bulldogs finish the season 19-11, a marked improvement from 2012Õs 8-20 mark.
"WeÕre a bunch of juniors and sophomores," Wiedman said. :Hopefully, this summer, we work the kinks out and have our chance to get our regional title."
Niemerg had 16 points, had 17 rebounds, five blocks and hit 10 of 11 free throws. Meinhart also had 11 points of the bench.
As for Ohnesorge, the coach and the schoolÕs athletic director, it was a big moment to bring home the schoolÕs first regional girls basketball title.
"Numbers have been low in years past," she said. "I think these girls see the reality, this is something we can have happen. "
DIeterich (18-11) advances to the Altamont sectional next Monday night. It will be another emotional moment, as they play Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City at 8 p.m., coached by OhnesorgeÕs sister Carolyn Wendte.
Dieterich 42, St. Anthony 26
St. Anthony 7 5 6 6 - 26
Dieterich 12 12 10 8 - 42
St. Anthony - Gardewine 3, Niebrugge 2, Bushur 3, Nuxoll 2, Richards 4, Walsh 12
Dieterich - Flach 2, Higgs 5, Niemerg 16, Meinhart 11, Vahling 2, Wright 6

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to market an employee time tracking solution - http://mtimecard.com/. It is a mobile application for tracking employee hours and attendance, specifically developed to fit the needs of SMBs.
I have created a blog, a Fcb page, a Twitter page, I even tried Google Adwords. However, so far I did not have much success in generating traffic and creating more customers.
Do you have any ideas what marketing activities (or anything else) could work for this specific case?
Many thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
we are Fabian and Ivan from Hamburg, Germany and try to realize our lifetime dream through Kickstarter (Crowd funding).
In fact we dislike self-promotion in terms of spam but in our current position there is no other possibility and otherwise we can bury our lifetime dream.
Our plan is to found a new fashion brand. Fashion means to us shoes, fragrances for him and her and headphones. Our marketing-concept is based on promotion through celebrities. In the past it was possible to us to get a good connection to popular people. There onto we want to open a store in Los Angeles, Hollywood to emphasize the elegance and exclusivity.
For our big plan we need 3.5Mio € to be competitive on the international market. In this cause we published our intentions on Kickstarter to get our project financed through crowd funding.
It would be awesome if you support us. Every euro brings us further and of course we have little considerations for you helping us.
We got after 12 hours almost 12.000€.
We thank you with all our heart and you can have a look at the following link:
Best regards,
Fabian and Ivan

City workers had initially put a sign up on Tuesday. It was installed at the request of the city council after several members of the staff of city hall complained about residents loitering in the dispatch office.
On Friday, however, Mayor Chris Hart told city workers by phone to take the sign down. Hart, who works for a railroad company, has been out of the state for several days.
When asked why he wanted the sign down, Hart said he only wanted to make the following statement: "If they (the council) are going to enforce a policy, they need to enforce all of them."
Hart said he couldn't name a specific policy without singling out city employees.
Hart also said he felt the decision to hang the sign needed to be officially voted on by the council.
The city council met for a called meeting Saturday morning and voted to hang the sign back up. Since Hart was absent for the called meeting, Chris Pschirer served as mayor pro tem.
Jacque Roberson Allred, a council member and the wife of Police Chief Heath Allred, said the issue concerns more than simply loitering.
Allred said dispatchers at the police department deal with sensitive information like a person's social security number and birth date.
"We have no business letting just anybody into the dispatch office," she said. "This is not a coffee shop."
Jacque Allred also said many police departments, like Jasper, have restrictions on who can access their dispatch offices.
Pschirer added that he is concerned about the safety of residents because inmates from the city jail are often walked through the dispatch office for their required exercise.

"His focus was always on light and air," says Barry Berkus, who led the remodel. To that end, the kitchen was outfitted with glossy white cabinets that reflect and amplify the natural lighting and add an airy feel.

Home security cameras mounted on houses are another line of defense between you and criminals. In fact, one security camera installer says even though most cameras are mounted on one house, in some communities, a large part of the block is protected.
In the middle of the day, when we think most people are at work, some criminals are watching you leave, but they're not just taking your valuables---they're stealing your sense of protection.
"Kids busting windows, break-ins, thefts," Arthur Lloyd describes several of the crimes caught on his home security cameras. "You know they're stealing rims, motorcycles you name it. They're just catching everything."
Lloyd says residents are tired of thieves and they want to protect their property and their families, so they install cameras.
"It allows the kids to play without being worried whose gonna drive down the street and do a drive-by," he says of the cameras. "We've caught several of those where we turned the video over and it's a community effort."
Lloyd says most homes in the area only need four cameras---front and back doors and on the sides of the house--but those cameras would be able to pick up criminal activity happening in other yards or blocks depending on how many cameras are on the block.
"It gives the police that extra edge to stop some of the things going on," he explains.
Earlier this year, residential cameras helped Chicago police track down the two men charged with killing honor student Hadiya Pendleton. After a number of break-ins on a block in Bronzeville, the homeowner had two dozen cameras installed. Instead of catching a theft, it video-taped nearly all of the teens running away from the park the day of the shooting.

Newly-released 911 calls shed some light on the death of a Paulding County boy.Investigators said that 12-year-old Eric Forbes died from battered child syndrome earlier on Oct. 11. His father, 32-year-old Shayaa Forbes is charged with child cruelty and murder in the death. Shayaa Forbes initially told 911 dispatchers that he found his son unresponsive in the bathtub at their Acworth home. "He was a little bit underwater. His head was like bobbing," Forbes told the dispatcher.During a court hearing on Tuesday, investigators said that Forbes admitted he spanked his sixth-grade son for about 45 minute after Eric brought home bad grades on his progress report. Sgt. Kevin Morgan said that the 12-year-old had swelling, bruises, cuts and other markings consistent with a prolonged beating. He even had bite marks on different parts of his body, Morgan said.Morgan also said that several teachers had reported that Eric had physical signs of abuse. He said Division of Family and Children Services had "screened out one case" and found two other cases were "unfounded." Citing the ongoing investigation into the boy's murder, DFCS would not comment on the case. They did note that a case is screened out if there is no indication of maltreatment or abuse after information is collected by one of their case workers. They said an unfounded case means that information gathered did not support allegations of abuse or neglect.Sources tell FOX 5 that a number of teachers from Frey Elementary School in Cobb County filed reports about bruises, black eyes and other physical signs of abuse when Eric was in third, fourth and 5th grade. Sources said that teachers filed three separate reports about abuse within the first few months of fifth grade. Eric Forbes was enrolled in McClure Middle School in Paulding County when he died. Shayaa Forbes is being held at the Paulding County Jail waiting for someone to post his $30,000 bond.

DCs JLI – Dead Characters? Just Love It!

Seeking to get back in the win column following their bye week, the Denver Broncos will travel to Cleveland this Sunday for an afternoon showdown with a woeful Browns team.
With the 1-6 Browns likely to hit the field without star tailback Trent Richardson as he nurses a rib injury, San Diego will enter the weekend as an overwhelming favorite among experts across the internet. Among the many unwilling to buy into a midseason resurgence from Browns head coach Pat Shurmur's team at the moment, all three names on Yahoo! Sports' panel opted to roll with Norv Turner's Chargers this weekend on the road.
In addition, all eight members of CBSSports.com's expert panel also selected the Chargers to pull out the win, as only two men, Clark Judge and Will Brinson, are under the belief that the game will be decided by its 3.5-point spread.
In a near-unanimous sweep, nine of the 10 experts over at ESPN.com kept the trend going with the selection of San Diego to win. Aside from former coach Mike Ditka's bold prediction that the Browns will defend their home turf and pick up their second victory of the season, virtually every single expert on the web agrees that the Chargers have no business losing this game.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention upped national estimates of Lyme disease diagnoses from 30,000 patients a year to 300,000, and Dr. Archelle Georgiou is here to explain the spike.
The tick-borne illness is common in Minnesota, and it's the most commonly reported tick-borne illness in the United States. However, given the disease's symptoms, it's commonly misdiagnosed.
-Bulls eye rash (at the bite site or other areas of the body)
-Body aches
-After weeks or months, some experience joint pain, neurological issues including Bell's palsy, muscle issues, paralysis of one side of the face
-Avoid brush if you are not wearing a repellant that's up to 30 percent DEET.
-If you have a bird feeder, keep it away from the house. Seeds attract rodents, which can carry ticks.

Master Planning - Keep the Science Library in Holcomb
To the Master Planning Group, Provost and President of Butler University: We the undersigned faculty, staff and students wish to express grave concerns with the identified Master Plan for the move of the Science library to Irwin. In the interest of students and faculty, it is moved that collections, reference services and the trained science librarian remain available in the current area for students in our programs and the sciences. We affirm the good job that has been done by the science library over many years. We want the science librarians to be near the students and faculty in both the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and in Gallahue so that one-on-one bibliographic instruction and other services may be offered to students.

thanks to sleuthdog for opening this one during the tasting!
A: FLOATIES!!! pours a rust color bodied, with slight off-white 1/2 fingers worth of head fromation. no lacing what so ever.
S: peat, big maple sweetness, brown sugar, very subtle bourbon, dog food (seriously, there is a hint of dry dog food). no alcohol whatsoever
T: maple sweetness forward. vanilla finish, a slight hop note, a slight touch of bourbon in there as well. not as much complexity as i thought there would be.
M: lighty bodied, but it leaves a nice coating of sugary sweetness on the teeth and palate.
O: nice solid Old Ale, but nothing to get all crazy about IMO. its a sweet maple beer all the way around, but it lacks complexity to help balance this beer out and truly making it a phenomenal brew.

One year old, bottled Feb 2012, enjoyed Feb 2013 amongst a tasting group. Pours a copper-ish, deep amber color with very nice clarity. An almost light-yellow, eggshell like head tops this one off and leaves tiny bits of lacing along the sides of the glass.
The nose on this one is heavy and full of many different things; bourbon, oak, light vanilla, light black licorice, sweet and juicy dark fruits, boozy figs, dates, and raisins, sweet toffee and caramel, and a very faint maple aroma that comes out more and more as time goes on. I'd like to believe the maple was much heavier when fresh, but it's still hidden and can be found even a year after bottling. Sweet and boozy all around.
Curmudgeon's Better Half doesn't waste any time getting down to business. It hits the palate with a heavy mix of bourbon, oak, licorice, caramel and sweet fruits. More figs, raisins, and dates that have been soaked in bourbon, and dipped in a brown sugar bath. No surprises here - the malt is heavy and gives off a huge molasses and caramel sweetness, sugary and sticky like syrup. Oak flavors are a touch mellow, but definitely there, along with the maple syrup which seems to kind of just blend into the background with everything else.
The booze is strong on this one, especially when you consider the fact that it's one-year old and only 11.9% ABV. Feels much closer to the 15% range. The maple characteristic is strongest in the aftertaste, which is also full of more oak, sweet bread, over-ripe dark fruits, and more bourbon. Thick and almost chewy body, sticky and syrupy, low-medium amount of carbonation.
Surprisingly bourbon heavy and almost even "hot" for being a 11.9% ABV year-old ale, but still pretty drinkable and definitely full of flavor. Lots of sweetness and oak flavors, along with a very, very mild maple characteristic. Was this one worth the price? Probably not, but it was still pretty damn good. I enjoyed it.

A: it pours a burnt orange color with a small head that dissipates quickly. nice lacing. I had a lot of sediment in my pour.
S: Maple syrup, then bourbon. heaven. It smells exactly as you would think. everything blends together perfectly.
T: maple sweetness up front followed by a light bourbon in the end. Hints of caramel. nothing is overpowering. every flavor compliments the other. its not over sweet at all and the maple is fantastic.
M: Totally smooth, kinda slick like syrup. light carbonation. kinda coats the mouth.
O: Just a great beer. Def worth trying to score a bottle.

A - Pours a clear deep amber with almost two fingers of tan head. Head has pretty good retention. Only small spots of lacing.
S - Nice bourbon presence, with quite a bit of vanilla and oak in the aroma. Also a bit of caramel, maple syrup, brown sugar. Definitely some noticeable alcohol, but it doesn't detract from the aroma.
T - Caramel is more apparent in the taste, but vanilla and oak are still the spotlight flavors. The is sweetness, but not as much as I feared. The oak cuts the sweetness nicely. Taste is also a bit boozy. Very smooth flavors. Really tasty.
M - Full mouthfeel. Smooth and slick, with sweetness up front, but a nice dry, oaky finish.
O - I don't enjoy Curmudgeon enough to get it very often, but this is a nice use of the base beer. Very nice sipper.

The look isn't all that impressive, but I know this is a bad ass beer. It's translucent and a surprisingly light brown with even a yellowish tint. I respect the sediment floating all around--even on the first small pour--so perhaps I should replace "impressive" with "predictable." It must be that lighter old ale that confused me as I just casually expected yet another bourbon barrel, pitch black stout.
The nose definitely conjures up thoughts of Old Curmudgeon. It definitely has that sweeter molasses, maple syrup type feel to the aroma. The taste is pretty magnificent, as it embodies what big beers can be. It IS so much better than Old Curmudgeon, and it IS its "better half!" That syrupy sweet, sugary molasses mixed with that semi-bitter, almost chalky, sediment floating big Ol ale that George Washington would've drank really makes for the like the perfect coupling! A phenomenal concoction! That's what it is: a concoction.
I sort of understand (I'm not a brewer)--with these ingredients and the barrel aging and all--how this is a limited edition brew. As the market gets saturated with them, however, I must say that this one definitely meets and/or exceeds expectations. Cheers, and Go Heels!

Thanks to someone for sharing at bu11zeye's 10,000th rating tasting.
The beer pours an orange-brown color with a tan head. The aroma is awesome. I get a lot of maple and oak notes, as well as some vanilla and toffee malt. The flavor is very similar. There is a lot of maple and vanilla from the barrel aging. I also get quite a bit of toffee and caramel malt, as well as some alcohol. Medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Poured a cloudy deep amber with creamy head that shrunk to a small cloud in the center of my tulip glass. Nose picks up bourbon, maple, all those toffee candied malts and alcohol ..and some dank wet fruit or peat or leather. The taste is sweet and smooth. Dominated by malts and sweet maple, the bourbon warmth adds a nice touch. Glad i got to try it, but sad its gone.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Appearance: Burnished red with thin off-white head and subtle lacing.
Smell: Kind of a laundry list of aromas - caramel, toffee, bourbon, oak, vanilla, coconut, maple syrup, plum. Pretty sweet overall, both literally and figuratively.
Taste: Very sweet. I usually have a problem with that, but not here. Malty and fruity core that is wonderfully overrun with vanilla, oak, coconut and maple syrup. Fairly boozy as well, but it fits with the profile here.
Feel: Thick, syrupy and warming, with pretty low carbonation. Smooth and a nice sipper overall.
Overall: Just great stuff. Founders is great at barrel aging, and has particularly worked wonders with these Maple Syrup Bourbon Barrels.

750ml bottle poured into a hill farmstead tulip.
Pours a deep hazy amber brown with a very small and thin light brown head. Nose is malty, sweet, a bit of maple, well balanced.
Taste is awesome, old ales are generally a fairly dull style for me but these magic barrels really take it up a notch, mellow and sweet with a good amount of maple and bourbon. Not quite up to CBS but the character of the barrels still comes through. Mouthfeel is full and a bit syrupy with a crisp finish. Little bit of booze as well but it's far from overwhelming.

Thanks, joshrosborne!
A lighter than expected, but very pretty nearly clear copper and golden with a very persistent, moderately sized light khaki colored head of tightly bubbled foam atop. Leaves fairly thick lines and spots of stick down the glass. Very pretty, especially for the style.
Nice caramel and toffee notes, along with a bit of wood and nut combine nicely with bourbon notes and some lingering maple characters. I wish it all a bit more pronounced, as in the flavor, but this is certainly very nice.
The flavor is fantastic and just as expressive and delicious as I was hoping for. This is like melted caramel and pecan pie with a bourbon whipped cream frosting atop...only in beer form. The alcohol is exceptionally well hidden, turning this monster into an incredibly drinkable, tamed beast. Really impressed.
Medium bodied with low-moderate carbonation. Just a touch oily. Very drinkable.
Exceptional. One of my favorites within the style. Well done, Founders!

Poured from 750 ml bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice glass.
Appearance: Pours a very deep and cloudy brownish copper orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. About one finger of off white head which quickly recedes into a few thin patches. Lacing is moderate.
Smell: Big hints of bourbon up front with woody oak chips. Good hints of vanilla and maple syrup. Big malt presence with lots of caramel and toffee. Sweet molasses and brown sugar aromas. Also some subtle hints of dark raisin, plum, and fig. Light hints of earthy hops in the background. Quite a complex smelling beer.
Taste: As bold and complex as it smells. Big taste of bourbon and vanilla with lots of oak chip. Good amount of maple syrup and molasses. Lots of bready lightly roasted malts. Big notes of caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Midway comes some hints of dark fruits including plum, fig, and raisin. Finishes with a very light hint of earthy hops. A pretty sweet brew but its far from cloying. All of the malts and barrel elements come together very well.
Mouthfeel: Feels on the thicker side with a moderate level of carbonation. Creamy, slick, and pretty syrupy. Actually finishes somewhat dry. The alcohol heat is felt somewhat at 11.9 % but its still pretty smooth considering.
Overall: A great Old Ale. Complex and nicely sweet without becoming too syrupy. The barrel elements add a great kick.

This forest is immensely dense. Foilage brushes against my legs as I make my way inward. I am at peace in this place. Light from beyond gleams through the trees, enveloping every blade of grass and every loose stick.
"This way", I hear a voice from the distance. Following it, I come across a great old maple tree. "What do you wish of me?" I question. "Share what I create by drinking from me", the old tree replies.
Reaching into my boot, I extract my pocket knife. Gently impaling the bark of the living wood, I open a prosperous floodgate. Scents of bourbon and maple encompass the forest. Pouring from the puncture is a beautiful, brown liquid.
"What is this?", I ponder. Reading my thoughts, the great maple replies, "This is you". "But I am me", I argue. "How can this be?" The old tree continues, "You are everything. But you divide yourself. You cut yourself in half, then quarters, then eigths, sixteenths, etc...forgetting what you truly are".
Confused, I bend down and take a gulp of the nectar. Everything is understood. This is me. This is my Better Half.

CATEGORIES Action, Gay & Lesbian, Horror, New Releases, Distribution, Newsstand, Images, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalWhen last we checked in with Lucy Liu's vampire flick Rise: Blood Hunter, Monika told us about a juicy scene from the film supposedly "leaked" to an eager audience of rabid fanboys looking for some blood, gore and hot lesbian vampire action. Sadly, almost as soon as the clip was on YouTube's servers, it was taken down -- I'm sure to preserve the dignity of all involved. At that time we also learned the film had been languishing "on the shelf" for awhile (as they say in the biz) but had finally been given a release date.
Fortunately, especially for fans of the aforementioned hot lesbian vampire action who didn't get a chance to see the clip on YouTube, the release date seems solid and to prove it, distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films has dropped the first one sheet poster for the film for your consideration. I'm a big fan of Lucy Liu and would pay good money to watch her kick some vampire ass, or really, do almost anything. Plus, I'm also a horror fan who usually likes these kinds of movies. So, following that logic, this movie should be right up my metaphoric ally. Oddly enough though, looking at the poster I had the opposite reaction. I was rather amused instead of interested. Why? The tag lines.
I don't know about you, but when I see tag lines on a poster that say things like: "From the Producer of the Grudge franchise and the writer of Gothika" I tend to worry a little. It just seems like quite a stretch and a bit like desperation time on the part of the distributor. Or maybe I'm just too sensitive. The poster looks just fine and pretty much follows the standard horror conventions for films of this genre. Plus Lucy Liu looks great (as expected) and the film also features the excellent Michale Chiklis of TVs The Shield and my soon-to-be-wife, the super-sexy Carla Gugino too. Put that all together and you really might have something. To find out exactly what that "something" is, check out the flick when it hits theaters June 1st. Or go to Tribeca.
