1.03/5 rDev -51.9%
This is the worst beer I have ever tasted in my life. I am in a fraternity so I would say that I know my fair share about cheap beers. This beer has an odd kind of spicy weird makes you wanna throw up after taste. At one party this was all we had to drink and I couldn't get down more than 1 and a half cans of this stuff. I would not advise any to drink this beer. I would recommend spending a few extra dollars to buy a beer that is drinkable.

I'm sorry. I think anyone giving this beer a score under 2 is a pimp for Milwaukee or St Louis. At $0.40 a can it is just intolerable to compete with.
Granted, I cannot drink the regular Boxer... but I very much like the Light version.There are very few Light beers I want to drink. I like Amstel and I like Boxer... and they are miles apart. If you like a dark beer try this Boxer Light for dinner. It has taste. My favorite beer? Maybe Sam Adams Oktoberfest... that gives you an idea of what I do and can taste.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a pale yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of apples, sugar. Taste is the same. Light, green apples, a touch of sweetness, the fact that it has any flavor at all is a plus for this style.Feels light in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer, which is a good thing from this brewer.

Pro: Low Price @ 12.99$ a 36er I didn't think I could lose...
Pro: Did I mention how cheap it is????
Appearance: $0,40 a can beer doesn't get poured in a glass...
Smell: fresh mowed grass and old High life.
Taste: brace yourself for it folks; it ain't pretty.... Normally a couple of cans will knock down the tastes buds when you are reduced to drinkin the cheap stuff; but that wet cardboard and grassy "signature" taste stays with boxer light from finish to start.
It just aint right.
This is the kinda beer you give to child molesters on death row with their last meal...
Summary: If funds are low, flip that couch cushion; get up under that coin star; scrape up that extra $3 or $4 bucks and get some Natty; this stuff aint fit to drink!
Forget the 12 steps; you want someone to give up drinkin; for good; make em drink a 12er of this stuff and they will swear off booze for good!
Pro: Bulldog logo is Boss...

12oz can poured into a pint glass.
A: Crystal clear, dull straw yellow. Head formation and retention are better than expected though still not great. Thin, scraggly rings of lacing remain.
S: Sweet grain, corn, and slight grassy hop. Subtle dull, musty yeast.
T: Sweet corn and grain, slight bubble gum, touch of husk and musty yeast. Faint grassy hop. Clean finish of straw and sweet grain.
M: Light bodied, but with more substance than your average AAL. Rounded and slightly creamy. Modest tingling carbonation is a welcome change of pace from the usual blast one comes to expect.
O: it is what it is. It's sweeter than your average American Adjunct Lager, but that gives it just a little bit of charm. Better than the big boys, but not by much.

I try, oh how I try, in fact, And I try, oh my god do I try (thanks to Four Non-Blondes) to be unbiased and non-judgmental on The CANQuest (TM), but MInhas Craft Brewery in Monroe, WI is my arch-nemesis! The crap that they spew out would gag a maggot and yet because of a central CANQuest (TM) dictum - the beer must be CANsumed in its entirety to count - I am doomed. Their (and I hesitate to call them such) beers are unfit for human CANsumption and have the unwanted effect of turning me into a Cyberperson each and every time. I am fortunate to have The Doctor as my friend and he always rescues me, but the agony in the interim ...
From the CAN: "Brewing Tradition Since 1845"; "No Preservatives - All Natural"; "No Preservatives - No Additives - No Added Flavors"; "Boxer Premium Light Beer"; "Union Made"; "'All Trademarks and Designs are the property of Mountain Crest SRL'".
In the previous review to this one, I thought that I heard the heavy tramp of Cybersteps, but then they abated. I began the Crack & Glug hoping for the best and my pour garnered two-plus dense fingers of bone-white head with moderate retention. It looked like meringue atop a lemon pie, very appealing. Color was a slightly washed-out lemon yellow with NE-quality clarity. Nose smelled of chewed pink bubble gum, Concord grapes, dry cleaning fluid, the interior of a plastics factory, and attic must such as you might stir up moving bundle of newspapers from the 1970's.
Clomp, clomp, clomp. I hear them on the other side of the fence! They are again coming for me, but The CANQuest (TM) must forge on.
Mouthfeel was very full for the style, which was a plus, but the combined flavors of metal, plastic, grapes and dry cleaning were a definite negative.
"You will be assimilated!" shouted the Cyberleader from the other side of the fence.
"Oh, please, not again," I thought to myself but better than 3/4 of the glass remained as I picked it up. The taste had not improved and was deteriorating to the point that the plastic and dry cleaning were almost indistinguishable from one another. I began to weep openly as my fence fell down and the Cyberleader and his minions were revealed.
"You will be assimilated!" he shouted, advancing through my yard.
"At least he is crushing some of those weeds," I thought as I took another long draught. My throat began to CANstrict, thanks to the toxicity of the beer.
Having gotten smarter with age, I had the back door open and the Cyberleader shredded the mosquito netting with ease, rather than bursting through the door as he had done so often in the past.
"You will be assimilated!" he shouted with his fingers wrapped around my neck and now I could no longer identify whence my problem in swallowing came from.
"Must finish," I gasped, tears running unabated down my cheeks.
I got the last dregs down just as ...
I have now been assimilated. I am one with the group. The Cyberleader has directed me to delete all, but I have one last chance ...

12 oz can. 10.49 36 pack. Freezer for an hour after chilling in the fridge.
It pours a clear gold with a big foamy bright white head. Quintessential for the style.
The smell is light. There is mineral water, light sugar, and corn.
The taste is actually better than a regular light beer. Some hops somehow. Sugar, corn, not very watery.
No reason not to buy this as a cheap beer. Nothing comes close.

2.6/5 rDev +21.5%
355ml can. 4.0% ABV when exported to Minhas' homeland.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of crackling, fizzy white head, which fades before your eyes, leaving a few sparse amoebic specks of lace around the glass in the process. It smells of sweet corn mush, some actual grain, thinly rendered, and bordering on the nail polish stank. The taste is pretty much in line - corn, grain, and a slight, actually underwhelming (damn you expectations!) skunky weediness. The carbonation is fairly sedate, the body really not too shabby for a light beer, being neither light nor thin, relatively, and just a tad cloying. It finishes sweet, that of the muddled grain sort, and low on the skank-o-meter.
While I'm not going to go so far out on a limb here as to say that I like this, hells...no. But, for the style, and ground laid up 'til now, this is pretty inoffensive, if you can overlook what I am sure would be a growing palate distaste with the clingy body, which lacks the crispness that discerning light lager drinkers look for. I'm not drinking any more to find out.

1.63/5 rDev -23.8%
Pale yellow appearance with foamy white head which quickly disappears. Smell consists of grain, corn and some sweetness, the bare basics of cheap beer.
Taste has similar features, a metallic combination of grain, corn and sweetness. Has a strange grape and banana taste as well, reminds me of cough syrup. Light bodied with low carbonation. Aftertaste is very dry with that lingering cough syrup taste.
This is one of the strangest light beers I have tried, one of the few times I wish I was drinking Coors Light. The rest went of this went down the drain, stay away from this.

1.7/5 rDev -20.6%
Appearance: Basically looks like urine. Not pleasant at all. I usually try to explain the appearance a little more, but there's no two ways around it; this stuff just isn't very appetizing.
Smell: Vinegar and stale grain. Reminds me of MGD 64.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Basically a sour version of regular Boxer. Mouthfeel is kinda greasy too.
Drinkability: Nicht so gut. Regular Boxer is much more drinkable.
Overall: Not worth trying.

The Jacksonville women's golf team improved its score by 14 shots in the second round and jumped into a tie for fifth after two rounds on the par-72 Venetian Bay Golf Club in the 2012 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.
Senior Morgan Jackson shot a season-best even-par 72 and jumped into a tie for 22nd at 10-over par for the event.
Kennesaw State leads the competition at even-par, carding a four-under par 284 in the second round. ETSU's Gabriella Wahl leads the individual competition by one at four-under par after shooting a one-over par 73 on Tuesday.
"We played much better today, but we also left a lot of shots out there," said JU head coach Ashley Prange. "We're looking forward to getting out there tomorrow and finishing the season on a strong note."
Jackson's round was steady to say the least. She made the turn at one-over par due to a bogey at the par-4 seventh. She got back to even with a birdie at the 10th, then followed up a bogey on the par-4 13th with a birdie on the par-5 17th to finish her round.
Francesca Yong had the second best round of the day for JU, shooting a three-over par, 75, to tie for 19th at nine-over par. She started with eight straight pars before a bogey at the ninth and a double bogey at the 10th.
She bounced back with a birdie on the par-4 11th, but back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 12 and 13 moved her to 4-over par for the round. A birdie at the 17th got her back 3-over par for the day.
Jessica Welch and Natalie Schmett each carded a six-over par, 78. Welch is tied for 19th at nine-over par while Schmett slipped into a tie for 35th at 16-over par. Carlie Gehlhausen shot a 15-over par, 87, and is in 42n at 29-over par.
The Dolphins will wrap up their season on Wednesday, looking to break the tie with Florida Gulf Coast for fifth place.

|Years played
|2008, 5th round, 21st pick by Steelers
Jets tab Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator
Former Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg was hired Friday as the Jets' offensive coordinator on Friday.
Eagles' QB options: Vick, Foles or other
New Eagles head coach Chip Kelly wasn't saying who his starting QB would be, but there are a few clues to consider.
Kelly hire smacks of grand success or colossal failure
The Eagles' hiring of Chip Kelly either will be a tremendous hit or a massive fail. But we can't wait to find out.

Chip Kelly has changed his mind and was named the new head coach of the Eagles on Wednesday.

Oregon head coach Chip Kelly has interviews set up with the Browns, Eagles and Bills, according to Mike Garafolo of USA Today.
Eagles sign DE Brown, CB Lindley
The Eagles signed DE Everette Brown and CB Trevard Lindley each to a two-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.
Rumors grow tying Reid to Arizona
Multiple reports from around the league on Tuesday are tying ex-Eagles head coach Andy Reid to the Cardinals' job opening.
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a two-year contract with quarterback Dennis Dixon, who spent the past season with the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens on their practice squad. The move, announced Thursday, comes three days after the Eagles restructured Michael Vick's contract, bringing him back to compete with Nick Foles for the starting job.||||||| The 28-year-old Dixon had a standout career at Oregon when Chip Kelly was Ducks offensive coordinator. Kelly replaced Andy Reid as Eagles coach after leading Oregon to a 46-7 mark the past four years. A fifth-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2008, Dixon has started three NFL games in five seasons. He has 402 yards passing and one touchdown on 35 for 49 passing. He's also rushed for 56 yards and one score.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed quarterback Dennis Dixon on the injured reserve list with a meniscus tear in his left knee, ending his season.||||||| Dixon started the Steelers' first two games in place of the suspended Ben Roethlisberger. He was injured on a run during the first quarter of a 19-11 victory at Tennessee on Sept. 19. Charlie Batch took over and Dixon had surgery later in the week.
Dixon will be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback Sunday at Tennessee, even though the injured Byron Leftwich may return to practice as early as Wednesday. Until Leftwich injured a left knee ligament during the final exhibition game Sept. 2, Leftwich was expected to start throughout Ben Roethlisberger's four-game suspension.||||||| Dixon completed 18 of 26 passes for 236 yards and an interception in his second NFL start, shaking off a series of underthrown passes early in the game to become more accurate in the second half. Even if, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday, "I'd like the throws to be more on target."
Dixon will get his first extensive playing time with the starters in the Steelers' next-to-last preseason game Sunday in Denver and could follow Ben Roethlisberger.||||||| Dixon has started only one NFL game, and he is expected to be Byron Leftwich's backup when the season starts and Roethlisberger is suspended. However, Tomlin said Dixon has played well enough to earn some time with the starters.
Two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games without pay Wednesday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and ordered to undergo behavioral evaluation. The news could affect Dixon.||||||| Dixon started a game last season with Roethlisberger sidelined with a concussion. He could be under center to begin the season against Atlanta.

AIN Blogs
Boeing didn't get much of a chance to savor its near-record year-end sales figures and 2012 rate-increase successes.
Missouri senator Claire McCaskill (Democrat) hit the nail on the head when she wrote to the FAA about easing rules on the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in aircraft. Her letter seeks to have the FAA reconsider restrictions on PEDs, citing as one example the fact that many airline pilots are now using switched-on iPads during taxi, takeoff and landing without any problems.
Imagine seeing this headline: "Major Airline Uses Student Pilots on Passenger Flights." There would be universal outrage and condemnation if an airline tried to put students in the cockpit on passenger-carrying flights–even if "just" to handle the radios or practice touching some of the controls in cruise flight.
When John Adams proclaimed, "I believe in a government of laws, not of men," he couldn't have imagined just how many laws—or how much legal mumbo-jumbo—his descendants would have to endure. In his day, after all, people didn't do things like put an empty sheet at the end of the Constitution labeled, "This page intentionally left blank."
I am so relieved that the U.S. presidential election is finally over. The past year—and especially recent months—have been marked by an undercurrent of anxiety, with otherwise-loving families having cocktail-soaked dinner wars and old friends severing Facebook ties over national policy issues. Perhaps now we can all stop bickering and get down to business.
Washington, D.C., seems to be a city that is in perpetual crisis. Now the U.S. government is in conniptions over the "fiscal cliff." Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke coined that metaphor to describe the tax increases and automatic spending cuts that kick in on January 2 unless Democrats and Republicans somehow tame the $16 trillion national debt.
When it comes to decriminalization of aviation accidents, the world seems to take one step forward and two back.
This month, I'm turning my blog space over to the reader who submitted the following letter to our magazine.—Jeff Burger, editor of AIN sister publication Business Jet Traveler
An Open Letter to the Editors of Business Jet Traveler:
A reader recently took me to task for writing that the FAA is reinterpreting Part 135 regulations, in a story about the FAA's belief that contract charter instructors and check airmen apparently are not complying with the rules.

Bottle Number 9! I'm slowly coming to the end... too soon! Blind Beers are definitely the best beers, no joke.
A- An interesting tangerine color, light carbonation. Singular bubbles independent of cascades rise from the nucleation points of the glass. A finger of head developed on the pour of purest wedding lace that slowly dissipated to a complete pond scum. The collar is relatively large compared to most other beers, but the lacing is too light.. disappointingly so and the stickiness of it is minimal at best.
S- Strong orange zest is the first thing that pops into my mind. Orange candy sweetness with the bitterness of citrus fruit rind. A light citric acid background follows the sweetness. In the middle of everything is a sharpness I equate to most spiced beers. Like a pumpkin ale that uses the whole kitchen cabinet without the identifying aromas.
T- Hmm. Wow, after the nose this confuses me. It instantly assaults with classic scotch ale flavors but it doesn't look nor smell like one. Super sweet, malty. Caramel and toffee flavors. Bright on the sweetness to the point of almost becoming acrid. In fact, the finish is a lingering generic bitterness from the sweetness rolling off into the sunset. The opposite to a good western, the hero leaves the town without clearing it out of the offensive bad guy.
There isn't too much to discuss for flavors. Sweet to start bitter to end. Caramel and toffee. Low hop component, mostly tannic bitterness.
M- Full, thick, syrupy body. Carbonation stronger than I thought right in the beginning. Cascades from the edges inward and help settle the tremendous sweetness. The alcohol is there, causing a light puckering of the lips with burning sensation, however its smooth. It can't be too high, but enough to notice it. Less than 8%... Maybe a solid 7%?
I like it. I'm gonna call it a scotch ale. Maybe a bit too sweet, maybe a bit too thick. Maybe its a combination of things. Like most scotch ales it borders the line of being a full meal in a glass. However, the color is all wrong, there is no roast to it.. so.. Uh, I know I'm wrong on scotch ale. Not belgian strong ale because that would require some belgian yeast characteristic... I'm stuck!
Reveal is...wtf? Huh? Primator 21%, Flip those two numbers for 12! I like it. Now I get it! Euro Strong Lager! Derp derp derp! When I saw 21% on it I almost flipped my lid. There was NO way in hell it was 21%, but I guess it is just a name. The back reads 19.06.09 which I assume is bottle dating.

It pours a crystal clear and carbonated bright golden yellow. A finger of slightly off-white head disappears soon to a spotty layer of fuzz. Frowns of lacing droop along the inside of the glass.
In the aroma, a light malt sweetness is quite thin and sparse. A mild bready yeastiness comes through along with an outlying and distant spicy crispness. Alcohol is integrated but apparent.
Upon tasting, the malt is pale and obviously lightly toasted and very sweet with a candy sugar backing. An apple crispness is unable to obscure continued sugar content. The alcohol is actually somewhat cooling, but notable in presence. A small measure of baked bread breaks through residual sweetness. The finish is a slightly spicy hop bitterness that serves to confuse along with the enduring sweetness. The effect, in the end, is big, but not especially impressive.
Medium bodied, the sugar lends a syrupy feel to the flow, with a reasonably thick and rounded presence on the palate that is actually rather pleasant.
This was brought to me by a friend returning home from the Czech Republic. It arrived with what he insists is a strong reputation in its homeland. Over here, while certainly free of adjuncts and other macro-esque characteristics, the thin aroma and displaced and unmitigated sweetness don't really live up to the ostentatious name. It's fairly drinkable if you can get past the full-on sugariness devoid of other malt assets. The country from whence it came may be proud of it, but I look forward to trying some of the finer offerings in the future.

Big head with an orange tinted tan body. The nose is boozy malt with fruit on the background. The beer is a finessed big lager with a semi sweet finish that softens the beer. This is a fairly drinkable strong lager with enough complexity to make sipping an option. There is a rounded full mouthfeel that in my opinion make the beer searching for.

Beer bottle (50cl), tasted in 2004.
Appearance : deep golden color, with white foam head.
Smell : fruit, sugar and alcohol in the nose.
Taste and mouthfeel : Flavour offers some toasted and grainy malts, fruity esters and alcohol.
Drinkability : an average lager (too strong for my taste)

3.05/5 rDev -10.8%
From a 12 oz bottle marked (best by) 5 FEB 08. Into the cervoise, its a dark honey color with visible suspended sediment. A couple feeble carbo streams evident. Pillowy, thick, off-white head of two fingers fades slowly to a wispy cap and good, clingy lace. Nose is initially soapy; warms to a sweet maltinesss with no hops in evidence, along with a faint skunk. Hint of alcohol. Tastes of near-cloyingly sweet malt, a bit of sweet dark fruit (cherry?), no hops. A bit of alcohol. Rather muddled flavor, a bit like thin, sweet fruit syrup. Mouth is thin, wet, and a bit flat. Drinkability is not too good, as its too sweet and thin for more than one.
Overall: Definitely more of a Euro Strong Lager than a dopplebock, this one is oversweet, a bit flat, and underwhelming.

Labeled "Blond Doppelbock" and with a whopping 9% ABV, I expected the alcohol to hit my nose as soon as I opened the bottle. But it didn't happen. In fact, when I poured the golden liquid into the glass and lifted it to my mouth, the scent was of robust, if very bready malt. The taste, too, was free from the astringent alcohol I expected. Instead, it was a bready, honey-like malt flavor within which there was a distinct (and pleasant) fermented taste but not particularly alcohol--perhaps akin to a barleywine (type) taste. I sipped anyway (and glad I did), but it was quite refreshing. Not complex by any means; but a nice tingling warmth. Thankfully, not the head-rush I had expected to ruin the experience. Not bad at all.

This beer pours a clear golden amber color into the glass. There's a thin white head that sits atop the brew. The aroma is fruity and quite sweet, with just a hint alcohol. The overall aroma is a bit musty, as well.
The flavor is very sweet, with an almost cantalope quality. Sweet raisins, and caramel round out the taste. The alcohol is slightly noticeable in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium, smooth, and very clean. Slightly high ABV, but still fairly drinkable. Overall this is a pretty good lager if I do say so myself. If you can find it, give it a whirl.

Soon to be known as "Primator Blond Doppelbock" when US importers re-label it.
Ap: Clear, medium straw color, off white fades quickly to nearly nothing.
Ar: Nose is very fruitymelon like, with notes of freshly baked apples. Lightly floral. Malty sweetness remains crisp, not overly sweet on the nose, and without the robustness of a full-blown bock's maltiness. The 9% ABV is relatively well restrained.
T: Flavor is massively sweet, with spry carbonation and melon-like flavors. Some purely sugary flavors (begins sharply sweet, with a bite, mellows and becomes more warmly sweetalmost melting across the palate), with subtle notes of grape skins and chardonnay. Borderline fusel alcohol detected.
F: Hop bitterness comes in late to dry out the sweetness, though the sweet notes prevail. This is a tough one to drink much of, but its still nicely done. While the sweetness is borderline cloying, the hops do a great job of offsetting, but still, its got a brashly sweet core. No corn though.... good times...
Misc: Quite nice as an alternative to malt liquor too bad it has to be branded as "malt liquor" in the USA (per label requirements)its really not even in the same league. Much smoother, more nuanced, more presence.

Thanks Radek. Works out from 21% gravity to a very strong ABV, not available in old Communist days. Lots of barley, and some wheat. Yellow, soapy head. Pale malts and other malts. Bold taste, tongue burn from alcohol and sugar and Saaz hops. A must try lager.

(500 ml bottle, traded with a Danish beer rater). Golden colour, good thick head. Aroma of molasses and alcohol, hints of oak. Flavour is very sweet and alcoholic, a decent hoppy bitterness in the finish cant save this beer from being too cloying sweet in my book.

MINI hatchback review
The all-new MINI is more grown-up, and more like a baby BMW, than ever before
Sponsored Links
The new MINI has been running down the production line at BMW's Plant Oxford since 2001. But, although its looks haven't changed wildly since then, even with a new, second-generation model in 2006, there's much more to this new, third generation MINI than meets the eye.
MINI is taking no chances with its eagerly anticipated newcomer. Not only is the car bigger and more refined than before, it features an all-new turbocharged engine line-up and even more upmarket interior.
The rival to the Fiat 500 and Citroen DS3 is built on a new UKL front-wheel drive platform, which will also be used for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. The MINI also features a range of new predominantly three-cylinder petrol and diesel engines that have been designed and engineered solely by BMW for the first time.
The MINI also benefits from even higher levels of technology than before, making it safer, better equipped and posher than it have ever been before. Yet with prices rises by 2.6 per cent, or around £400, the new MINI is also one of the most competitively priced that BMW has ever sold.
There are also five models in the MINI models range - One, Cooper, Cooper S, diesel powered Cooper D and the John Cooper Works.
Our choice: MINI Cooper
Given the huge sales success of the first two generations of MINI, it's no surprise that designers have played it safe with the latest car. In fact, at a glance it looks identical. But dedicated fans of the brand will notice the slightly more bulbous proportions, the larger front and rear lights, and... well, that's about it.
As with every MINI, there's huge scope for personalisation. The contrasting black roof is a no-cost option, and for an added cost, you can get bonnet stripes and black 17-inch alloys in place of the standard 16-inch rims. There are also optional LED headlamps, with distinctive circular daytime running lights.
MINI has been bolder with the new car's interior, although the eye-catching design still features plenty of retro touches. Dominating the dash is a large, circular display for the infotainment and optional sat-nav. This is surrounded by a ring of illumination that flashes green when the stop-start system operates and can be programmed to mimic the sweep of the rev counter needle.
The Cooper S stands out from lesser models with a twin central exhaust, a chrome-plated honeycomb grille and subtle S badges. You also get the trademark bonnet scoop, although this time it's purely cosmetic and doesn't feed air to the engine. The stylish approach continues inside, where the new MINI retains the retro touches you'd expect.
However, the interior has been substantially reworked. A lot of the switchgear has been relocated – the familiar line-up of toggle switches is still on the centre console, but the window buttons are now on the doors, while a BMW-style iDrive controller sits between the front seats, replacing the old car's joystick.
The large central rev counter is gone, too, replaced by a circular display for the infotainment and optional sat-nav. It's surrounded by a ring of illumination that changes colour as you switch between the drive modes, or can even be programmed
to mimic the sweep of a rev counter.
Standard kit includes air-conditioning, Bluetooth and a DAB radio, while the optional Chili Pack adds desirable equipment such as climate control, a multifunction steering wheel, front sports seats and ambient lighting.
The new car upholds MINI's reputation for driving thrills. BMW is keen to play-up the new MINI's go-kart handling credentials, and has given the car completely revised suspension. As a result, the handling is very good, with a sharp, responsive turn-in from the steering and very good body control.
Acrobatic agility, rock-steady composure and strong grip let you relish every back road, while all the major controls deliver plenty of useful feedback.
However, the suspension is very firm, making long journeys and urban potholes a bit of a pain. This is more of a problem on sportier Cooper S models, especially if you opt for the larger 17 or 18-inch wheels. The new MINI is built on a new platform, which will be used by BMW. This has made the MINI feel more like a junior BMW than ever before, too.
So while the old MINI was more playful and moved around a lot more at the limit, this new car is very tied-down, stable and planted. It's bad news for keen drivers, but means a much safer feeling, grown-up drive for everyone else. Factor in the lack of wind and road noise, the comfortable driving position and effortless mid-range acceleration, and it's a surprisingly relaxing long-distance cruiser.
There are three petrol and two diesel engines to choose from. The entry-level MINI One gets a 100bhp 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo, while the Cooper gets a 134bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder. The Cooper S upsizes from a 1.6 to a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 189bhp. The diesels are both 1.5-litres and develop 94bhp in the One D and 115bhp in the Cooper D.
One criticism is that the engine in the Cooper S lacks a little in character. While there's a nice exhaust note outside, the engine sounds and feels a bit subdued inside. Still, it's a hot hatch you could enjoy every day.
The smooth 1.5-litre diesel can be jerky at low speeds, but once the revs pass 1,500rpm it responds crisply and cleanly to the throttle. And while the three-cylinder thrum will be unfamiliar to owners of older cars, it adds to the MINI's fun-loving character.
The MINI now comes with a choice of new six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearboxes. The manual is more precise than the old one, but lacks its slick shift, while the auto is more efficient but still never quite seems to know the right gear to be in.
Euro NCAP hasn't tested the MINI, but BMW claims it has been engineered to achieve an impressive score in all global crash tests.
To do this, the new model features more high-strength steel in the body and impact absorbers and a pop-up bonnet to help improve a pedestrian's chance of survival should you have the misfortune to hit one. A full suite of airbags and ISOFIX mounts is also included. New tech for the MINI includes the option of a rear-view camera, to help with reversing, and a head-up display, to help keep your eyes on the road.
A camera-based adaptive cruise control system is also on the options list. The MINI is build using a lot of all-new tech, mixed with some tried and tested technologies. But as this will also be used in a host of BMW models, this should have been engineered to last.
Owners tell us MINI has its work cut out in the satisfaction stakes, with the previous hatch finishing a lowly 141st in our Driver Power 2013 survey. However, the new car features plenty of BMW input, which bodes well for reliability, while fit and finish is second to none.
MINI by name, not quite so MINI by nature – the new model is 3,821mm long, 1,727mm wide and 1,414mm tall. This makes it 98mm longer, 44mm wider and 7mm taller than its predecessor.
The new MINI is longer and wider than before, but it's barely any bigger inside. Although there is now more rear legroom, the rear seats are still a squeeze. At least the front chairs tilt and slide forward to aid access, and up front there is plenty of space, with impressive headroom and improved shoulder room.
The driving position is good, and there are new seats which are much more supportive than before. Visibility is pretty good, too, despite the MINI's letter box windscreen. There are two gloveboxes and the seat backs and front passenger footwell have spaces to store bottles and maps.
The MINI still comes with a central armrest that never fails to be in the way of your elbow, whether you have it up or down. The boot space is better now, too, up 30 per cent to 211 litres. However, it's still small.
Running Costs
The MINI has always been pretty fuel efficient, but the new range of engines helps improve this considerably. MINI claims that the entry level 1.2 petrol is around 25 per cent more fuel efficient, and can return fuel economy of 61.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 108g/km.
Next up in the petrol range, the new 1.5 three-cylinder features the same TwinPower twin-scroll turbocharging and direct injection as BMW's larger engines. So despite the fact that it is more powerful than the 1.2, it returns 62.7mpg and 105g/km of CO2. The Cooper S is also impressive – its fuel economy is over 5mpg better than the outgoing model, at 49.6mpg, and CO2 falls to 133g/km from 149g/km.
The diesels are the real economy stars. The lower-power 1.5 found in the One D will return over 80mpg and emits 89g/km of CO2, while the Cooper D's more powerful version returns 80.7mpg and 92g/km of CO2. The manual gearbox is the cleaner choice, but the new auto has a coasting function and stop-start, helping to improve fuel economy.

This isn't a MINI. It's much too big. They should build the Rocketman. I wouldn't buy the Cooper.

Source: bought via a "pro deal"
Price Paid: $150
This jacket packs down small, is ultralight, and has held up better than I expected. I use it as an insulating layers on trips, but also to throw on on cold days at home.
- Light
- Warm
- Doesn't feel durable
- Would like a small inside chest pocket
Fit is overall true to MH sizes. I am 6' 175 lbs and the large fits me well. Not form fitting, but comfortable.
This jacket is very comfy to wear. Down always seems to keep me comfortable at a wider range of temps than synthetics.
The hood is cut to fit over a helmet. I would rather have a more form fitting hood and either wear it under a helmet, or tuck it out of the way. If I was climbing, I would almost certainly have a shell on over this and could use the shells hood, but I wanted a hood for those cold, windy days when I'm wearing this to kick around town. (Honestly I don't have many times when I'm wearing this with a helmet.)
No real adjustability here. New it seems to shed light precipitation, but I wouldn't wear this in a rain storm without an outer shell.
This is a lightweight down jacket, so it's not going to be as warm as a full winter weight down jacket, but it is warm, especially for the weight.
Layers well over base and fleece layers and under a shell.
So far I haven't had any problems, but it sure feels like one wrong rub against a rock face and there would be down flying.
Two zip handwarmer pockets do the job, but a small pocket inside at the chest would be great for tech devices, medicine, etc.
I have had this jacket for about a year and a half. I have worn it often around town. I have also used it backpacking the Ice Age Trail in October in Wisconsin, hiking the Grand Canyon in Nov., backpacking Canyonlands and hiking in Arches in May, hiking in Yellowstone and the Tetons in Sept., a paddling trip in the Boundary Waters, climbing Mt Meru in Tanzania, and even an early morning sunrise on the top of Mt Haleakala in Maui.
I like and wear this jacket a lot. Time will tell how well it holds up, but so far so good!
This jacket does not have the durability I have come…
Fabric: Green seran wrap
Fill: 800 fill down
Price Paid: $120
This jacket does not have the durability I have come to expect from Mt'n Hardwear.
The fabric is disturbingly thin. I tore a one-inch hole in it the second day I owned it without even noticing what I snagged it on (and I wasn't even outside!). I patched it up with a few stitches that have held since then.
The hood is a problem. According to Mt'n Hardwear it has a "Sleek, low-profile insulated hood provides a close fit." It is sleek and low-profile with a helmet on! It is neither of those without a helmet on. And there is no drawstring to cinch the hood tight.
On the plus side, the jacket is warm and light. Very warm for the weight. It makes a great insulating layer, but pretty much requires a shell over it if you are outside because of the delicate fabric.
I gave it three stars because I'm going to love it til it falls apart. But I think that won't take too long.

BLADEN COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A former Bladen County Sheriff's deputy and his son are behind bars and accused of operating a drug trafficking organization in our area.
A nine page affidavit outlines the elaborate and expensive drug operation that was operated out of Southeastern North Carolina.
According to court documents, Lee Guy and his son Christian were at the center of an investigation headed up by the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A confidential informant told federal investigators that Guy was the mastermind behind the drug operation. He allegedly had about ten subordinates working for him in our area.
According to federal court documents, Guy had some of those people making a number of trips into Tucson, Arizona to pick up large amounts of marijuana. The illegal drugs were then driven back into North Carolina and were allegedly being distributed in and around Bladen County and Robeson County.
Guy told the informant he had been dealing marijuana for the past year. He admitted to organizing and coordinating the transportation of about 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of marijuana into Bladen and Robeson counties.
The affidavit mentions a number of "meetings" held by Guy. It also said Guy would have the drugs examined during these "meetings" and would talk about future plans to make the trip back west to pick up more drugs. The car that was used to drive across the country was registered in the informant's name.
Evidence was presented to federal investigators and they soon decided to attach GPS tracking devices to the vehicles that were making the trips out west.
On October 24, 2012, the informant, along with his wife and another man, hopped in the car and drove across country to Arizona. During his trip, the informant called investigators to check-in so they could make sure his allegations against Guy were matching up with the GPS track system. According to the affidavit, everything matched.
Guy was apparently buying his drugs from "stash houses." These houses are operated by Mexican sources. One of the men accused in this operation reported to the informant that one of the stash houses did not have a good product and suggested they look elsewhere for their purchases.
Search warrants were soon obtained by agents so they could look through one of the stash houses in Arizona. Agents also searched the hotel room they were staying in during their trip. They found marijuana, packaging material, scales and numerous weapons during their search.
One of the men involved in the trip was arrested in Arizona after he refused to cooperate with authorities. The informant called Guy, who was in NC, to let him know about the arrest. According to the affidavit, Guy instructed the informant to drive back to Bladen County with the vehicle.
When they returned, Guy was allegedly having a tough time finding a new source for the marijuana. An undercover detective then posed as a new drug dealer for Guy.
The informant needed to receive payment for his trip to Arizona, according to the documents. The informant was then wired with a microphone and camera by detectives. He then met with Guy to record the transaction and conversation. The documents note the two met at Guy's business located at 803 North Main Street in Bladenboro, NC.
During the meeting, the two talked about past purchases and the drug operation he was running out of the area.
Guy then flew the informant and other undercover detectives back out to Arizona to find a new source for the drugs.
Detectives gathered enough evidence over the course of their investigation that they could then arrest Guy and anyone else who played a part in the ring.
Both Guy and his son are charged with conspiracy to distribute more than 200 kilograms of marijuana. Court documents also list Jimmy Clark as being a part of the drug operation.
Lee Guy worked at the Bladen County Sheriff's Office for a short time. A public information request made by WECT.com shows he was employed there from Sept. 1994 until April 2000.
According to Highway Patrol, Guy was a trooper for NC Highway Patrol. He started in 2003 and was terminated in September 2006 for disciplinary reasons. Authorities said he was a full status trooper on roads in our area.
The affidavit also mentioned Guy's girlfriend, Shannon Singletary. Detectives apparently followed a number of cars to Singletary's home during some of the drug transactions. There's been no word on whether or not Singletary will face any charges in this case.
Both Guy and his son requested federal court appointed attorneys this week.

LHJ: Studies suggest that the way we praise kids can affect how well they do in school. Give us the dos and don'ts.
PB: Kids shouldn't be praised for innate abilities, such as intelligence or creativity. Saying "you're so smart, kiddo" isn't forbidden, but at least three-fourths of the time children should be praised for the things they can control, such as effort and tenacity. Say "you did well because you worked really hard." The research has shown it makes an enormous difference in their academic performance.
LHJ: The book says that almost all kids lie and that most parents use the wrong approach to fix the problem. How should they deal with it?
PB: You can't scare kids into being honest. When parents threaten to punish kids if they don't tell the truth by taking away an allowance or not letting them go to the circus, that dramatically increases the amount of lying. Instead, say "telling the truth is the right thing to do." Even better: "I'm going to be really happy if you tell me the truth." I've been doing it with my kids (Luke, 8, and Thia, 5) and it works.
LHJ: How are parents slipping up when it comes to teaching about race?
PB: We think young children are colorblind, but they notice race and try to understand what it means by the time they are 6 months old. Seeing multicultural faces on Sesame Street is not enough to teach racial tolerance. We're reluctant to discuss race openly, and that teaches kids we're afraid -- that it's taboo. Telling them "everybody's equal" isn't enough. We need to teach them about races and ethnicities and that it's terribly wrong to judge people on the basis of their race.
LHJ: Kids today get less sleep than ever before. What are the consequences?
PB: Kids get a full hour less than their parents did at their age -- for myriad reasons, from overscheduling activities to TVs, cell phones, and computers in the bedroom. Guilt plays into it, too: Parents want time with their kids in the evening and don't want to be the bad guy who orders them to bed. But every 15 minutes' less sleep is correlated with a drop in grade point average. A students get 15 minutes more sleep than B students, who get 15 minutes more than C students. I know it seems trite to say, "Hey, put your kids to bed!" But when a sixth grader gets an hour less sleep he performs like a fourth grader in school. Just a few more minutes of sleep can matter so much.

25g from the PRODUCE, fool! I get more fiber than that from the oats and sweet potatoes.
what if you dont really eat any fruits or veggies? I try eating an apple a day but thats about it.
does "juicing" fruit or turning it to puree take any nutrients from it? also is there certain fruits that are better than others?
also nobody answered my question about organics?
if you can afford it, organic is better some cases. Some cases it doesnt matter, like bananas.
I prefer eating my fruit than drinking it. If you use a juicer, there is high chance you will lose the fiber.
Berries are considered the best fruit in terms of packing a nutritional fruit. In terms of taste, I love mangos. Bananas are good source of carbs and potassium. Apples help in satiety. Pineapples are tasty.
I really dont like many fruits nor veggies is that bad?
Yeah its horrible not likeing fruit.
Organic good, but expensive.
I thought you were suppose to get 1-3 servings of fruit?
Eating a lot of veggies to become 'fuller' a way to go? I eat a lot, and I'm starting to restrict myself to get into a mindset of dieting. I know some will say if it fits into your fitday why not? But can I get more than a generic answer?

Google and others caught circumventing Safari and Mobile Safari privacy restrictions (updated)225
The Wall Street Journal reports that Google and several prominent online advertising networks have been using a workaround to bypass the privacy restrictions on Apple's Safari and Mobile Safari web browsers, allowing the companies to deposit cookies on a user's computer even if the device is set to prevent such behavior. At issue is the way Safari treats cookies. Under its default settings, both the desktop and iOS versions of the app only accept the files, which can be used to track browsing habits, from sites that individuals specifically visit or interact with. This prevents a cookie from an outside source from making its way onto a user's computer without their direct involvement. Google reportedly butted up against this restriction when it couldn't use cookies to determine if users were logged into Google services in conjunction with its +1 recommendation system.
To get around the problem, Google took advantage of an exploit that was first noted by developer Anant Garg in 2010, which uses a blank form sent in the background to trick Safari into accepting cookies from unauthorized sources. Google's use of the workaround was spotted by Stanford researcher Jonathan Mayer, and later corroborated by the WSJ. When contacted about the technique, Google reportedly ceased the practice, saying in a statement that "the Journal mischaracterizes what happened and why. We used known Safari functionality to provide features that signed-in Google users had enabled. It's important to stress that these advertising cookies do not collect personal information."
The WSJ also discovered that the technique was used by at least three other advertising networks as well as Facebook, which actually notes Garg's technique in the Best Practices section of its developer documentation. Both Google and Facebook ostensibly provide user-facing benefits with the practice, preventing a constant litany of password typing and sign-ins when using their services. The practice may be quite difficult to justify, however, particularly with user privacy recently becoming an even hotter issue than usual. As for Apple, a spokesperson simply stated that "we are working to put a stop" to the practices in question.
Update: Google has provided us with its full statement on the matter:
The Journal mischaracterizes what happened and why. We used known Safari functionality to provide features that signed-in Google users had enabled. It's important to stress that these advertising cookies do not collect personal information.
Unlike other major browsers, Apple's Safari browser blocks third-party cookies by default. However, Safari enables many web features for its users that rely on third parties and third-party cookies, such as "Like" buttons. Last year, we began using this functionality to enable features for signed-in Google users on Safari who had opted to see personalized ads and other content--such as the ability to "+1" things that interest them.
To enable these features, we created a temporary communication link between Safari browsers and Google's servers, so that we could ascertain whether Safari users were also signed into Google, and had opted for this type of personalization. But we designed this so that the information passing between the user's Safari browser and Google's servers was anonymous--effectively creating a barrier between their personal information and the web content they browse.
However, the Safari browser contained functionality that then enabled other Google advertising cookies to be set on the browser. We didn't anticipate that this would happen, and we have now started removing these advertising cookies from Safari browsers. It's important to stress that, just as on other browsers, these advertising cookies do not collect personal information.
Users of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome were not affected. Nor were users of any browser (including Safari) who have opted out of our interest-based advertising program using Google's Ads Preferences Manager.

Cabs and credit cards
I've been pleasantly surprised to see that most cabs in the city take credit cards now. I spoke to a cab driver recently and he said he thinks something like 95% of cabs in SF take credit cards. When MUNI or BART (and their deficiencies) are not viable options, taking cabs is really easy especially knowing they accept plastic unlike other places.
Yeah, that's one of the nice
Yeah, that's one of the nice things about San Francisco. Cabs are pretty cheap, and they take credit cards, and added bonus. It only costs about 15 dollars to go from downtown all the way to ocean beach. That's pretty darn good in my book.
In many other cities, including Berkeley, it is extremely difficult to find a cab that accepts credit cards. Its been great to be able to still get around when MUNI isn't an option.
More technology needed
Ours may take credit cards - but they are behind in so much technology. In many cities around the world you can hail a cab on your smart phone - GPS is used to send the nearest free cab. A great taxi service is not a luxury for a city. It will take cars off the street.
luxor cabs has a feature
luxor cabs has a feature where you can text their shortcode number with the intersection you are at and they will send a cab to you.
And I don't think a great taxi service would deter drivers from driving. taxis will always be more expensive than driving a personal vehicle. Why would someone take a taxi to work when they could drive and buy a parking spot for less?

Pricing not available
With superior options available at the same midrange price point, this blender is just too average for us to recommend.
While a cool idea and an innovative way to somewhat ward against Smart TV obsolescence, the 2013 Evolution Kit is definitely a niche product.
Featuring a large 1-inch sensor and 16x zoom lens (the longest in its class), this compact might be all the camera you need.
While it's not cheap, the Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens provides great value for the money.

The good-looking D-Link HD Media Router 1000 DIR-657 is a very good router, though it doesn't offer much over the company's previous model, the DIR-655.
The unique-looking and compact D-Link Amplifi Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) makes a very good investment for homes that need a fast wired network and good Wi-Fi signal coverage.
The low-end HF R series announced at CES survives the annual purge for the slowly dying category.
HP may have arrived late to the consumer Netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

REGULAR users of Great Malvern railway station will have noticed the antique-style trolleys that have recently appeared on the station.
But they may not know that restoring the luggage carriers was a labour of love for retired pharmacist and ordained minister John Guise, who lives in Leigh.
He said the obsolete trolleys were given to him by retired railwayman Des Simmonds, who had kept them in his garden.
Mr Guise said: "They were rotting away and Des knew I liked restoring things, so he asked me if I wanted to have a go."
The job took Mr Guise the best part of ten years, and he replaced almost all the original wood, sandblasted the petal parts and restored the trolleys to the conditions they would have been in during the heyday of the Great Western Railway .
"Once I finished them, I started to wonder what I was going to do with them, and then I got talking to Peter Clement of Malvern Civic Society."
Mr Clement, who runs the society's subgroup Friends of Malvern Railways, said: "I talked to Network Rail and arranged to have the trolleys installed on the station. Two of them are on platform one and the smallest one is in the waiting room."
And Lord Faulkner of Worcester, president oft the Cotswold Line Promotion Group visited the station to inspwect bnteh trolleys in situ.
Mr Guise said: "It's nice to know that they are in the right place."

Final Score: Creighton 68, California 54
Omaha, NB (SportsNetwork.com) - Doug McDermott registered a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds as the Creighton Bluejays posted a 68-54 win over the California Golden Bears in a non-conference matchup at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
Also scoring in double figures for the Bluejays (9-2) were Austin Chatman and Grant Gibbs with 11 and 10 points, respectively, as the team won for the fourth time in as many outings.
California (8-4) was paced by Justin Cobbs with 13 points and four assists, followed by Tyrone Wallace with 12 points and another four dishes as well, while David Kravish pitched in with 11 points as the Golden Bears had a two- game win streak come to an end.
Creighton scored the first points of the meeting and never looked back, although the team shot just 36.7 percent from the field in the first half, including 3-of-13 behind the 3-point line. Nevertheless, with the Golden Bears converting a mere eight field goals through the first 20 minutes of play, it was easy for the Jays to build a 30-19 lead at the break.
In the second half the Bluejays picked up the pace from the floor with 53.8 percent accuracy, adding a perfect 6-of-6 at the free-throw line as the team posted the double-digit victory.
The visitors made good on just 5-of-24 shots beyond the arc in the contest, 36.4 percent from the field overall.

Summer Opportunities and Funding Sources: Students interested in gaining experience in the public sector have an innumerable amount of opportunities to gain experience in their field of interest during their summer break. The earlier you begin your job search the better the chances are of obtaining a position in the field of your choice. A good place to start your search is at the Equal Justice Works Career Fair and Conference in October. If you are planning on leaving Miami, it is a good idea to begin your search during the fall semester. Some metropolitan areas tend to hire all their summer interns by January. Others are always looking for an extra pair of eager hands. No matter when you decide to begin your search, visit the CPC for assistance. It is our promise that we will find somewhere for you to volunteer!
There are a few ways to obtain funding to work in the public sector. See below for some of the more popular opportunities, and also check out the fellowship and summer funding pages at PSLawNet.
Equal Justice Works' Summer Corps program supports law students around the country who are working to expand the delivery of legal services to those who need it most. Summer Corps is an AmeriCorps-funded program that provides 315 law students with the opportunity to earn a $1,000 education award voucher for dedicating their summer to a qualifying legal internship at a nonprofit, public interest organization. Summer Corps members provide critically needed legal assistance in low-income and/or underserved communities in the United States on a broad range of issue areas. UM Law is a member of Equal Justice Works, which allows students to apply for these grants. The earlier you apply the better your chances are for obtaining the grant, as they are evaluated on a first come, first serve basis.
Florida Bar Legal Services Summer Fellowship Program involves the provision of high-quality legal assistance to the poor through various organizations across the state. Factors considered are: experience in working with the low-income community, academic achievement, writing skills, and previous contact and long-term commitment/interest in public service/pro bono work. Florida Bar Fellows receive a generous stipend from the Florida Bar as well as an intensive training program at the beginning of the summer. Applications for this program are available in December and are due in early January.
HOPE Fellowships The H.O.P.E. Fellows Program enables law students to take volunteer positions at public interest agencies. Over the last five years, the H.O.P.E. Fellows program has grown from just two Fellows, to over 40. H.O.P.E. Fellows have developed from just a handful of local placements to international placements focusing on global advocacy initiatives in countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda and London, and the University of Miami School of Law is committed to seeing these opportunities continue to grow not only within our state but across the nation and world.
