Favorite Verse:
Philippians 2:5-11 & Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Mountaineering, learning binges on Wikipedia, puns, reading & writing, photography, sleeping, eating, stargazing, and eating more.
Joseph's family first came to the Sanctuary over a decade ago during May of 2000. He is a child of the Sanctuary having attended and volunteered in each of the ministries from Champs to our regular Sunday Celebration Services. Joseph's desire is to serve in ministry with his personal goal to inspire people IN their relationship WITH God, or to inspire people TOWARDS a relationship WITH God by making Scripture, theology, and apologetics easily accessible to others. He made steps towards this when he graduated in 2012 from Life Pacific College with his degree in Biblical Studies. He is also going to Azusa Pacific University, working towards his Masters degree of Divinity on the Kerns Scholar Program.

Lisa Emanuel
Graphic Designer
Favorite Verse:
Psalm 46:1
Cooking for family and friends, traveling, reading and anything outdoors and active.
Jake, Aaron & Luke
Growing up in Burbank, California, Lisa was surrounded by love of the arts and anything creative. Her family's extensive traveling around the world was the seed of global perspective and love of travel that shapes her life now. Lisa first learned about God when a neighbor took her to church in the fourth grade. Yet, it wasn't until the summer of her junior year in high school that she accepted Christ's love and grace as her own. Since then she has been involved in children's, youth, women's and missions ministries. Currently she works with our UTURN youth ministry. She has two boys in college and one in high school. With their boys getting older, family time is much harder to come by. Yet, when they do all connect it is usually over good food, traveling, watching a movie or being outdoors. Lisa earned her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts and has worked as a freelance graphic artist for 25 years. She loves photography, bike riding, rollerblading, skiing and snowboarding. Kayaking has also become a favorite for her and Rich to do together.
Dawn Edwards
Executive Assistant to Pastor Marty Walker
Favorite Verse:
Psalm 37:4
Scrapbooking, Hanging with my Friends & Being with my Family
Jonathan – Married 2.11.95
Chloe, Ellyanna, and Willow
Dawn was born and raised in "Small Town USA." Growing up in Winters, California (west of Sacramento) had its advantages and unique opportunities, such as participating in FFA (Future Farmers of America) by raising a lamb for auction, going to school with the same kids Kindergarten through 12th grade, and living within walking distance of EVERYTHING! Moving to Southern California to go to college at the ripe-old age of 18 was certainly culture shock! While attending LIFE Pacific College (formerly L.I.F.E. Bible College, San Dimas, CA), Dawn met and married her husband, Jonathan (1995). She completed her degree in 1996, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Theology with a minor in Youth Ministry. She currently serves The Sanctuary family by coordinating the Our Family in Focus ministry which spotlights new Partners in the weekly Sunday Celebration Services bulletin. Dawn is also "shadow" to our very own Debbie Walker who oversees women's ministries. She and Debbie have worked together since Girls Like Me's inception in 2002. In addition to marriage and ministry, Dawn is also a proud home-schooling mom to her eldest daughter Chloe whose younger sister, Ellyanna, is not far behind. She has loved the privilege of teaching her children at home. When she and the girls do not have their noses in the books, you may find them at Starbucks or hanging with their girlfriends. Dawn also loves taking pictures and scrap booking them as a visual reminder of all God has done in her family's life.
Cynthia Siler
Favorite Verse:
Proverbs 3:5-6
Following Dodger Baseball, Sewing & Scrapbooking
Rick – Married 11.25.89
Caroline & Brett
Cynthia Siler has a mind for numbers . . . and as our Treasurer, she uses that ability to serve our church family through accounting and bookkeeping. Cynthia was born in Pasadena, California and lived there until she was ten when she moved to Sacramento with her family. As the eldest of three children, her organizational skills were recognized at a young age. She always liked math, and friends and family encouraged her to pursue that natural ability. Upon graduation from High School, Cynthia attended American River College (Northern California) and then transferred to Pepperdine University (Malibu, CA) where she earned a B.S. in Business & Accounting. In addition to completing this degree, she also obtained a CPA license. Her skills would eventually lead her to find work in several companies including: Price Waterhouse (auditing & small business departments), Lear Siegler, Inc. (Finance Director) and IDC Services, Inc. (Controller – specializing in payroll services for the entertainment industry). Cynthia is happily married to her husband Rick, whom she met while attending the singles ministry at The Church on the Way (Van Nuys, California). After marrying in 1989, Cynthia moved to Santa Clarita, where Rick grew up, where they have lived ever since. Rick has been working as a fireman for over 20 years and is currently serving as a Fire Captain in Culver City. Together they have two children, Caroline and Brett. Rick & Cynthia came to The Sanctuary in 1994 because of a long-time friendship with the former pastors. Cynthia has served many roles at The Sanctuary including Sunday School Teacher's Assistant, Bible Study Leader, Church Council Member and Women's Ministry Council Member. In addition to her roles on staff and church, Cynthia is a home school & stay-at-home mom. She enjoys sewing, scrapbooking (when her busy schedule allows) and is a HUGE Dodger fan (the Siler's third child is a 95-pound yellow lab named after Cynthia's favorite team).
Betty Jean Donaldson
Director of Children's Ministries
Favorite Verse:
Colossians 3:16-17
Serving Others, Decorating (from Interior Design to Cakes), Painting, Gardening & Enjoying Nature
Mark – 6.13.81
Betty Jean was born in Bishop, California and grew up on 40 acres just outside Independence, California. Her parents adopted two children as they were told they would not be able to have children of their own. Surprise! In their 40's along came one of their own – Betty Jean! After graduating from Owens Valley High School, she attended Mt. San Antonio College (Walnut, CA) receiving a degree in Legal Secretarial Science and a certificate in floral design. Betty Jean then moved to Hollywood where she attended Bryan College of Court Reporting (Los Angeles) and began working for a Beverly Hills law firm. After two years of court reporting school she trained as a paralegal with that firm with hopes of becoming an attorney. During this time, Betty Jean met her husband, Mark, who took her to Hollywood Presbyterian Church for their first date. Though she decided not to pursue the law degree, she worked for the same law firm for 17 years as a paralegal and office manager. After the Northridge earthquake, Betty Jean retired from the field of law. Though she grew up in a Methodist church, Betty Jean stopped attending church during college. Of course, after meeting husband Mark, that all changed. After moving to the San Fernando Valley and attending a couple different churches over the years, the Donaldson's visited a "new one." On the recommendation of a youth pastor at the Northridge Foursquare Church, Betty Jean, Mark, and Liz paid a visit to The Sanctuary to meet this "awesome youth pastor" there, Pastor Marty. After more than three months of prayer, deliberation, and confirmation, the Donaldsons made The Sanctuary their home in September of 1992. Betty Jean began serving as the designer of the children's classroom bulletin boards and has now served in various capacities including Nursery Worker, Sunday School Teacher, Bible Study Leader, Women's Ministry Leadership Team Member, Christmas Decorator, Wedding Coordinator, Church Council Member and Interim Children's Ministry Director. Whew! This lady has done it all . . . including joining The Sanctuary staff in 2004 as Director of Children's Ministries, assisting Pastor Julie as she leads children's ministries.
Breezy Thompson
Admnistrative Assistant
Favorite Verse:
Proverbs 3:5-6
Hiking, Watching movies, Backpacking, & Adventuring with friends
Breezy Thompson is a native of Santa Clarita and has been attending The Sanctuary with her family since she was in 5th grade. While she may be our youngest staff member, she is a determined young woman whose administrative mindset compliments the responsibilities she has as our front desk receptionist. Breezy is currently serving on our UTURN youth ministry's Student Action Leadership Team (S.A.L.T.) and is enjoying the Lord molding her into the young woman He has designed her to be. Her hope is to one day be a nurse, and appreciates this season of working for The Sanctuary, knowing it will help her build skills that will benefit her in her future career. Breezy's desire is to be a welcoming presence in the office and reflect our mission as a church to whomever she assists.
Mike Stevenson
Facilities Custodian
Favorite Verse:
John 1:1-5, 14
Playing with My Kids, Playing Sports, Remodeling My House
Wendy – 6.26.88
Amanda & Grace
Mike is a man who likes to see things done right! As the Facilities Custodian of The Sanctuary, it is his responsibility to make sure our campus and offices display our commitment to excellence in serving God and our community. Born in Santa Monica, California, Mike eventually found his way to the Santa Clarita Valley. During the early years of marriage, Mike worked as a carpenter with a private contractor. In 1991, he took the opportunity to work as a Senior General Maintenance Worker at The LA County Sheriff's Department's Peter Pitchess Detention Facility (Castaic, CA), where he served for 12 years! In late 2003, Mike made a significant life change, accepting the offer to join the team at The Sanctuary, bringing with him a vast experience and knowledge of carpentry, construction and maintenance. The decision was not tough, given that it would mean working at the church that he and his family had been calling "home" since 1998. In addition to making his career at The Sanctuary, Mike truly has a servant's heart! He has served, and continues to serve, his church family in variety of ways, including leading in our UTURN youth ministries, building sets for productions presented by Between The Lines, our drama ministry, and just helping out wherever he is needed.
Cole Jennerson
Favorite Verse:
Galatians 1:10 & 1 Timothy 6:11-12
Music, rock climbing, making movies, reading
Cole is one of the youngest members of our staff, but his maturity and portfolio of skills has more than proven that age doesn't matter. Cole is our "go-to" guy for filming, editing, and arranging any and all videos that The Sanctuary shows during services and online. Cole is an incredibly gifted member of our team and we're excited to see what else he has in store.

Julia Roberts Gives Us a Laugh to Last the Long Weekend
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 38 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Julia Roberts was caught in a rare moment of sheer goofiness, making faces at her adorable baby Henry as they hung out poolside in the Bahamas. These photos are from last week, but we thought they would be perfect for Friday afternoon since Memorial Day always puts us right in the mood for Summer. Plus, the combination of silly faces, celebrity babies, and bikinis is just too much for us to resist.

The Mathematical Legacy of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreSrinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematician brilliant beyond comparison who inspired many great mathematicians. There is extensive literature available on the work of Ramanujan. But what is missing in the literature is an analysis that would place his mathematics in context and interpret it in terms of modern developments. The 12 lectures by Hardy, delivered in 1936, served this purpose at the time they were given. This book presents Ramanujan's essential mathematical contributions and gives an informal account of some of the major developments that emanated from his work in the 20th and 21st centuries. It contends that his work still has an impact on many different fields of mathematical research. This book examines some of these themes in the landscape of 21st-century mathematics. These essays, based on the lectures given by the authors focus on a subset of Ramanujan's significant papers and show how these papers shaped the course of modern mathematics. less

COMMENT: Soon after the Village government took office in 1812, it had purchased "a small fire engine," which had received its first trial when a row of storehouses on Second [today Main] Street, including William Cooper's first house in the village, were burned on Dec. 2, 1812. In May of 1813, the Fire Engine Company of Cooperstown Engine No. 1 was formed, and all villagers were required to keep leather fire buckets at every house or shop for use in fighting fires. For a complete history of fire and fire-fighting in Cooperstown, see Douglas M. Preston, "The Clang of the Bell, the Wail of the Whistle: A History of the Cooperstown Fire Department" (MA Thesis, Cooperstown Graduate Program, 1975).
Notices by Cooperstown Companies
Farrand Stranahan presents his sincere thanks to the officers and men of the village Fire Engine Company, and to the citizens generally, for the timely attention and vigorous exertions in the preservation of his property this morning from the ravages of fire. Cooperstown, 17th March, 1814.
Cook & Crafts, grateful for the exertions of the Fire Company, and the citizens generally, in the preservation of their property this morning, most respectfully tender their thanks for their vigilance and attention, at a period when the prospect of saving their store and effects was almost hopeless. Cooperstown, 17th March, 1814
NOTICE. Taylor & Graves,
HAVING been unfortunate, in the destruction of their property, by fire, together with all their notes and book accounts, most urgently requests all persons having accounts open with, or indebted to them, to call and settle the same immediately; at the same time, desiring their customers to refresh their recollections with the kind of work done, that T. & G. may be enabled to obtain their just dues. They have claims only upon the honor & justice of their customers, therefore hope they will be ready to account with them to the utmost farthing.

Yeah, laugh if you want, but those bomb shelter people had the right idea. They used their subterranean options to make their homes safer and create more space for their stuff. You can, too.
Well, the underground bomb shelter thing may be a bit much. But you can always add a freestanding storage structure to your backyard instead. These mini-barns and tiny houses look adorable and hold lots of family room rejects you're not quite ready to part with yet. If you've wanted to find another home for that barely-used Stairmaster, move it to the shed -- where it won't make you feel guilty every time you eat a cookie (or a doughnut or a harmless dish of ice cream). See how one small change can make you feel soooo much better?

It isn't so much that cloud computing solutions are more vulnerable than traditional solutions; rather, cloud vulnerabilities take a much different form (and can occur on a much wider scale) than traditional security vulnerabilities.
Up to this point, most of the major issues with cloud providers have had more to do with outages rather than data breaches. That doesn't mean there are no risks in the cloud, but that the form of cloud attacks may be different than traditional attacks.
The cloud is not always the target
Keep in mind that, in terms of the very public cloud security breaches such as we saw in 2011 with Sony, the cloud itself isn't necessarily the target. In some cases, it's actually part of a hacker's toolset.
Hackers in that instance used stolen credit card numbers to rent Amazon cloud servers to use as an attack on Sony. The same resources that the cloud offers to legitimate organizations can also be purchased by cyber-criminals.
What makes the cloud so vulnerable
Part of the reason that cloud computing solutions are as robust as they are from the security perspective is that cloud providers are highly motivated to create secure environments. Networks aren't isolated anymore. Once the Internet took hold, company networks became connected with public infrastructure, and cloud providers were there to make it happen.
The biggest weaknesses of the cloud, however, are basic issues that are often easily resolved. Weak authentication protocols, an open management port, or the need to manage cloud resources remotely are all reasons why the cloud can become vulnerable. Hackers are recognizing all of these open ports, and starting to use them.
How these vulnerabilities affect your organization
While most surveyed companies say they believe cloud providers can provide a truly secure environment, nearly two thirds of those companies said that they wouldn't put corporate finance information in the cloud. Most keep credit cards out of the cloud. The same is true of HR info and other confidential resources.
Ultimately, cloud security is improving as time goes on. When your organization is looking at a cloud solution, ask the tough questions about security. If possible, get the provider to build security measures into the SLA, too.

text: Starting OverThe economic crisis forces the home building industry to reassess the fundamentals of its business.By John Caulfield Photos: Jean-Francois MartinFrom the 1940s until very recently, U.S. housing policy consisted of two words: more homeowners. Everything from highway construction to taxation revolved around that goal. And the results were spectacular, as ownership rates went from 62.1 percent in 1960 to a peak of 69 percent in 2004. Equally spectacular—but with dire consequences—was how the "American Dream" mutated into "America's Piggybank" and then "America's Nightmare" within the last decade.During this period of excess, buyers agreed to—or were duped into—home purchases their incomes couldn't afford, and owners used those homes like ATMs to perpetuate more lavish lifestyles. Builders and developers interpreted demographic data—particularly about Hispanic buyers—in ludicrously optimistic ways to justify their expansion ambitions. Mortgage companies sank their underwriting standards to new depths. And, inevitably, investors pounced on opportunities to exploit a thriving market, even as they ignored the quicksand upon which that market had been constructed.That few people expected home prices to ever come down, or gave much thought to what that descent could mean for the debt-inundated economy, speaks to how lawmakers, analysts, and the general public simply took housing and mortgage lending for granted. This "failure of imagination," as Dean Johnson, chief economist of Comerica Bank in Dallas, calls the current housing and credit crises, led to a financial meltdown of global proportions. And America's now-struggling housing industry—which one economist calls a "hapless participant" in the economy's spiral—finds its pleas for help mostly falling on deaf ears of government officials, lenders, and investors who have convinced themselves that other sectors of the economy—financial institutions, auto makers, credit-card providers—are more worthy of rescuing.That meltdown laid bare an economy that's been manipulated by financial instruments whose complexities outran regulatory restraints. It also undermined confidence in free-market capitalism and the expertise of lenders, brokers, economists, the media, elected officials, and appointed regulators, who seemed clueless as they lurched from "solution" to "solution." Restoring that confidence is critical to the economy's recovery, but it won't be easy in an environment of rising unemployment and tighter credit.The following special report examines the root causes of the country's malaise and offers suggestions about how it might play out. One scenario foresees a more cautious housing industry with as few as half the builders it has now (which to some observers is precisely what big builders want to happen). But what lessons will be learned from all this turmoil? That dramatic and potentially disastrous financial cycles are simply inevitable? Or that a better way might be conceivable through a responsible and coordinated application of planning, rules, and guidelines that isn't motivated solely by self-interest. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next Advertisement Keywords: SubjectEconomic Conditions Mortgages and Banking Economic Development Loans Lenders PersonDean Johnson Barack Obama Jerry HowardOrganizationComerica Bank NAHB National Association of Home Builders View more keywords SubjectEconomic Conditions Mortgages and Banking Economic Development Loans Lenders Distressed Assets Credit Home Office Home Prices Housing Data Interest Rates Legislation Market-Rate Housing BudgetingStateNEW YORKPersonDean Johnson Barack Obama Jerry HowardOrganizationComerica Bank NAHB National Association of Home Builders Federal ReserveSection / SubsectionFEATUREBylineJohn Caulfield View fewer keywords More from BUILDERBudgetingWhat it Costs Each Year to Get to Work ...

Keeping the Lid on Sensitive Data
by David Sklar
Related link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/10/22/MNGCO2FN8G1.DTL
If a US-based employee disclosed confidential patient data in a back-pay dispute, they'd be in big trouble, whether or not they had a valid pay gripe. But the long arm of US law doesn't extend so easily to Pakistan, where this incident happened, or plenty of other overseas destinations for medical transcription outsourcing.
As a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, a privacy or confidentiality regime protecting data is only as strong as the flimsiest, most disclosure-prone access to the data. In this case, an underpaid and mistreated (or wily and greedy, depending on who you believe) person not accountable to US law provides an extremely weak link in the medical privacy chain.
I've idly wondered if working as a custodian at a software company can get you a lucrative sideline as a pirate software distributor -- bring a FireWire DVD burner to work with you and take home some goodies. There are a lot of people in the "chain of data" that are sometimes just looked at as furniture by the "professionals" who are "really" working with the data. In the UCSF case, doctors record gobs of dictation and then, a little while later, it shows up all typed out. Do they care if it took a trip around the world in the process?* Software developers go to work every day and find the floor vacuumed.** Are they concerned about who cleaned up and restocked the kitchen with Jolt? Who changes the lightbulbs in Experian's data center? Lots of juicy data there.
Once we realize all of the people that really do have access to very sensitive data, we can treat them appropriately (and scrutinize them properly before such access is granted).
* Many doctors may in fact care, I don't mean to categorically malign them. Multiply subcontracting administrators seem to have been the problem in the UCSF case.
** I realize it is likely that some developers are familiar with the custodial folks since the developers are cranking away when the custodians show up at midnight.
What are the weak spots in the data chain that you worry about?

Criminal Acitivity at HMO Computer Center
About one hour before I was scheduled to look for irregularities in an HMO's computer systems, a gunman fired a sawed-off shotgun in my general direction. A few weeks later, the first of many explosions was set off in a building where I was, across the street from one of the Kaiser Permanente hospitals. I received death threats and was subjected to intimidation by the HMO's own employees to discourage me from talking to auditors. One of them intercepted copies of a report I had prepared, tore off pages, lied to me about it, and hindered notifying others of the situation. This specific report included a warning of problems at Kaiser involving hospitalization and billing discrepancies.
Following these incidents, a Kaiser supervisor accurately described me as a "walking hostage," the Personnel Department told to take a different route to work daily and to buy a nondescript car which could not be singled out in traffic. A Kaiser manager described one person who was intimidating me as being so dangerous that she had to be under 24 hour surveillance. Two police cruisers were parked near my residence, twenty-four hours daily for about two weeks, which did nothing to stop ongoing intimidation.
I have opened a home page devoted to my encounters with criminal activity at work. My home page also deals extensively with healthcare computer systems.

The Sing For China Tour features a triumvirate of Beijing acts billed as "three of the biggest and best bands in China." Coed trio Hedgehog headlines with its Britpop-influenced jangly rock and delightful song titles such as "Noise Hit World" and "24 Hours Rock Party." Meanwhile, Queen Sea Big Shark plays heavily vocoded electro rave-ups akin to Daft Punk, and Casino Demon's minimalist garage-punk features a tuneless vocalist and mechanical riffs that seem to be summoned from one-string guitars. If these art-rockers are truly some of the most successful bands from China's capital city, it makes our country's largest musical exports — the Jonases, Cyruses and Nickelbacks — seem rather uncultured.

3.63/5 rDev +7.7%
golden in color and ever so faintly hazed with a thick frothy head that settles to a medium frothy head.
the aroma has got some floral noble hops and some grainy sweetness, and an odd tart lemon rind character to it, though it doesn't smell sour if that makes sense.
sweet grainy flavor with the noble hops backing it uo with a little floral herbal bitterness. pretty clean and pleasant. develops a little bit of a tea like character with warmth.
medium bodied with a fine moderate carbonation.
drinkability is good. a nice simple pilsener

Pours golden with an okay fluffy white head that quickly fades to a thin cap. The smell is lightly grainy, clean, has floral hops and a touch of lager yeast. Not bad. Taste is similar, quite clean with a crisp pilsner mouthfeel, slightly soft, and with noticeable floral hops. Not as robust as most Czech pilsners, but this Slovak version is pleasant enough in its own way.

I tried this beer on July 25, 2007 after purchasing it from my local LCBO store. My particular bottle is 5.0% ABV.
The beer poured a translucent gold colour, darker than most North American lagers. The head was quite large and quite dense but disappeared quickly leaving a little lacing on the side. The aroma is hoppy with some yeasty tinges. The mouthfeel is slightly thick with ample carbonation and medium-bodied. The taste is very much pilsener like, but not as good as some of the common Czech Pilseners in my opinion.

Poured from the 500ml green bottle into a pint glass. Bright golden color in the body, topped by a smallish, creamy white head that doesn't stick around for very long. Aroma of sweet, lightly bread pilsner malt, a touch of spicy Saaz hops, and a little bit of skunk. Palate is a nice balance between light pilsner malt and tangy hops, with a lingering bitterness. Body is nice and well-carbonated, but a strange antiseptic tinge emerges on the finish. A decent, thirst-quenching pilsner.

12oz green bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a deep golden yellow color with a massive sticky white head. The aroma is malt with some spicy and grassy hops. the taste is malt accompanied by a nice dose of spicy hops and a nice dry finish. Overall, this is a highly enjoyable brew that I will surely revisit in the future. Recommended.

Pours a light clear gold pils into the flute. 2 finger rocky white cap decent retention for a commercial pils and left lacing on the glass sides.
Aroma was floral...wee bit of spice and earthiness...light dusty biscuit malts dominate.
Character...light to medium light hard mineral mouthfeel, metalic/ mineral quality to the chracter where it should be "spicy".
Profile: A tad sweet in the front but some good dryness from buiscuity malts and saaz hop "bite" soon prevails...mid palate things start to fall apart ..some mineral decernment dominate over the malts and hernal hops.. it's metalic, iron, blood ( probably the water) starts riding with the medicinal hops to dry out the finish...however this is a concerning metalic-blood aftertaste that lingers...it shouldn't
A decent enough pils..crisp clean but I dont care for this mineral/metallic taste.

Pours golden/bronze with effervescence & 2 fingers eggshell white head. Above average lacing & head retention
S: Some grassy & perfumy notes
T: Perfumy & grassy notes up front. Some honey malt, soapy notes along with lemony hops as this warms. Finshes a little dry, with straw & lemon notes
MF: Medium bodied, soft & spritzy with good balance, a little more wouldn't hurt
Drinks easy, but a little too subdued to be more than a BBQ beer, although I do like it better than pilsner urquell

Welcome to the Golden Invtiational, a meet where four golden lagers brewed in Bavaria, Bohemia, Central America, and the South Pacific go against each other to see which of these gold brews makes the rules. Golden Pheasant represents Bohemia, and is the first review in this series of four. Without further adieu, let's get on to the beer:
Poured into a stange glass, it's a nice lighter golden color with a fluffy head. But before that, when the bottle was opened, skunk filled the area around it. However, the skunk scent fades away and spicy hops and some malt pull through. There plenty of flavor in this brew. It's hoppy, has a lingering malt flavor, and a featherly melon sweetness. Despite the amount of flavor, it's delicate, soft, and smooth. Pretty damn good if you ask me.
A superb first act here in the Golden Invitational, and a score that will take some work to overtake. Bavaria's offering will be next at the dish.

Golden Pheasant (after a hard pour) comes out a quickly
diminishing head over a clear yellow brew. There's not a
lot of carbonation, and the nose? A bit of malt, a bit of hop.
The flavor is thin malt up front and a mildly grassy hop
finish. Aftertaste is that grassy hop, but more muted. Not
a bad pilsner- the big question is whether you feel it's a
good value or not, since we have lots brewed domestically
and it's in that scary green glass. Remember, it must cross
vast oceans before it gets to you. Decent.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is a clear, dark-golden color with a two-finger, bubbly, white head. Smell is not very strong, but is sweet with pale malt and grain. The taste is pretty simple, pale malt balanced with a bit of hops, maybe a little spice to it. Pretty average. The mouthfeel is light and has a creamy-foam carbonation. This is a drinkable beer, not bad... I would drink this again but I don't think I would actively pursue obtaining more.

Medium-light straw with a medium-sized, white, foamy head with good retention. Light, thin lacing. Smell is moderately malty with a light hops balance. Grass, lightly sweet grain, light citrus. Taste is more of the same but with the hops more evident heading towards the finish. Nothing all that complex at all, but clean and crisp and very pleasant. I enjoyed this one.

Picked this one up in Bratislava. The bottle has the same label as the one currently pictured but with the Slovak name of Zlaty Bazant.
The appearance is a golden color just as the name suggests. The head was very white and about an inch tall when first poured. The head was still there after a few minutes but had diminished to less than half its original size with no lacing to speak of.
The aroma was very faint but there was a hint of alcohol when first poured. After some warming there was mild evidence of a floral hop presence.
The taste also had a hint of alcohol when first poured but again that changed with warming. Some hop bitterness coming through, but not much noble hop flavor that usually accompanies the style. It wouldn't be hard to drink a few of these in an afternoon but its flavor is pretty basic. It drinks smooth and doesn't leave a whole lot of aftertaste.

Very golden color which is fitting to the nice title. White head and a ring of retention. Smell is very pleasant. Golden pheasant or golden pleasant? Nose is spicy, softly lemony, grainy and grassy. Pretty crisp with clarity and very easy to smell. Nicely basic. Taste is brisk, creamy in feel, lemony and peppered with sweet malts. Uncomplicated flavors and easy to enjoy. Mild bitterness, a clean finish and an energetic carbonation. Mouthfeel is partially gritty with a general smoothness. Drinkable like a lager.
Not bad. Decent but basic. All the pieces are in place. Probably great with food on a hot thirsty day.

Pristine pale golden color with a thin soapy head. The aroma definately has the saaz thing going on...grassy, floral, spicy...delicate and enjoyable. Crisp, hoppy flavor wrapped around a soft sweet maltiness, though I wish there was more as it leaves it feeling somewhat "raw". Medium-light, bristling mouthfeel goes down real easy.
A pretty good, if simple, pilsner. Definately fits the style, though I feel it could use a malt boost...very drinkable.

Golden Pheasant pours a pale straw color with a white head froma a green 500 ml bottle with a foiled neck and cap. The smell is a little skunky at first, but that cleared up by breathing for a few minutes. A mild hop aroma dominated after the skunk cleared. The flavor is mild, not unpleasant, but not exciting either. Fairly well balanced, it's hard to pick out any flavors. Better than a lot of eastern European lagers I've had.

Poured into pilsener glass.
Poured golden yellow with slow but steady carbonation. A two-finger head slowly descended and left a decent amount of lacing along the glass.
The smell was thin, but very clean - a touch of grass and some floral hops.
The taste was of sweet malt, which gave it a nice body, and grass backed by bitter, floral hops. Very well-balanced between malt and hops.
It's smooth and refreshing. A touch more body than many others of the style. It goes down easily and flavors hold on for a little while.
It's a solid choice when looking for this style and above average for European pilseners. For the past few years, I've been getting this occasionally when I'm in the mood for a Czech-style pilsener, and it's never been a disappointment - never been harsh, metallic or skunked.

Not a particular fan of the Czech Pils style, but decided to try this anyway, mostly because it was a gift. Golden Pheasant scores big points for the oversized, foiled bottle, though it remains to be seen what else this brew has going for it.
Pours from a 500mL green bottle into my pilsner glass a light golden straw colour, with some visible effervescence. Fairly translucent, but that's to be expected. Capped by two-plus fingers of exceptionally foamy white head. It dissapates gradually to a half-finger or so (though rather uneven), but leaves remarkably little lacing (what little there is is rather runny). Islands of foam after the head has virtually dissappeared. Not bad, a standard pilsner look.
Smell is also fairly standard for a European pilsner. Grassy, herbal. A touch of toasted malt. Dirty. A touch of skunk, though subtle, and perhaps a character of the beer, rather than true skunk. A touch of indistinct fruit. Some grain. Faint citrus. Not bad, but nothing special.
Taste is, as you might expect, more of the same. A touch of malt upfront (toasted) is balanced by an assertive hoppiness that is still subtle enough to appeal to your average lager drinker. Citrus. Grassy. Balanced. Finishes slightly dry with a touch of bitterness. A hint of candied sweetness throughout. Pepper. Tasty, but hardly complex and fairly unsurprising.
Mouthfeel is a tad unusual. Not as heavily carbonated as some pilsners I've tried, and a surprisingly nice feel to the body - light, but not watery. Faintly slick. Drinkability is good, perhaps better than some pilsners. The hop flavour isn't especially assertive, which is nice if you're going for multiple servings. Taste is good, but not complex enough to warrant paying especially close attention.
I may have Golden Pheasant again, but I don't think that it will ever be a mainstay in my beer diet. A fairly straightforward pilsner, worth a shot.

Guess it's ok stuck in the Czech Pilsner sytle...I would have said Euro Pilsner because of the earthy character with a noticable, but mild skunk aroma. Disguised neatly as herbal and must-ey hops, the beer comes across characterful but dirty. A common light yellow and neatly clear hue with adequate carbonation and a lacking head retention. Moderate malt sweetness with a grain quality (expected). Hoppy for sure, but more earthy flavors than balancing bitterness. Feels typically grain-ey, carbonated, and clean, but just slight of refreshing and crisp...just a little to muddy with the hops. Never really got over the pungent aroma and flavor.

My second time to try this beer. The first enounter was due to a Slovak's friend's kind recommendation, brought back from his home country. Yet this bottle obtained in London has English translations of Zlaty Bazant on the label: Golden Pheasant. Well, does it mean it's now widely available and popular? At least this is the only Slovak beer I've managed to find in London so far...
BB 21/06/06, served lightly chilled in a weizen glass.
A: pale golden in colour, the restrained beer head builds up fast yet retreats equally w/o hesitation; the sporadic carbonation contains huge bubbles occasionally ascending with growing speed from the bottom of the glass.
S: a dried-grassy note skirted with an eggy note that is quite common to mass-produced lager these days... (or is it?) The malt content is medium, not full, but sufficient to keep a balance with the grassy note. Also noticeable are a honeyish malty aroma and sweet-ish grains, while a swirl could bring up a more fragrant and lemony fruitiness. Not bad.
T: slightly metallic in texture upfront, coupled with a very soft-bodied maltiness pouring onto the palate... wrapping very faint flavours in the middle, nothing more considerable than toast-like bitter-sweet bready malts and a very mild edge of lemonade... slowly and quietly, a dryish-bitter aftertaste comes of age, marking welcomed presence of bunches of hops, and resulting in a mildly hoppy yet quite chewy finish.
M&D: smooth and semi-clean (not crisp), on the texture, pleasant enough for quaffing in quantity. Yet the flavour profile is slightly too boring, as the hoppy entry only brings aboard its body rather than sufficient flavours, hence a beer feeling better in the end than its overall taste... An O.K. Pilsner-style lager I have to say--NEEDS MORE FLAVOURS!!

Fairly good golden color with an underacheiving head.
Aroma of clean malt, pilsner hops, and a light honey scent like chewable cough drops.
Taste is good but unexciting. Starts with some mild sweetness, moves to crisp grassy tones, and dries in the finish with a light, peppery bitterness.
This is a good, but light, proper pilsner, not just another green-bottled euro skunkbrau.
Would be highly refreshing if chilled on a hot day. Enjoyable.

Much-respected in Central Europe, this beer is nicely balanced, clear and delightful.
Color is pale golden, with small bright sparks, head medium, long-lasting, carbonation level also medium.
Aroma malty-hoppy, complex, with a bit of candy sugar and fresh hay.
Start fresh, taste dry, body firm. Hops are present from the first moment and slowly increase their force towards finish. Mouthfeel crisp, smooth towards the end. Aftertaste long, bittersweet.
Very good beer. Certainly the best from Slovakia.

S - Faint metallic hops smell and not much else.
T - Sweet-ish. Light bitterness and some grain taste.
M - Light mouthfeel.
D - Easy enough to drink. Not particularly interesting or tasty, but not bad either. I wouldn't be able to spot this one out of a lineup of pale euros and pils'.

Pours into the glass a slightly hazy golden to almost copper color. Starts with an impressive thick dense pancake batter-like head, fades quickly to a spotty cap. Lace is minimal.
When held to the light I note small suspended particles (are those sea monkeys?).
Smells like a skunk under a grain silo and a bit earthy.
Taste is an astringent graininess with an unpleasant lingering aftertaste.
This can not possibly be what the brewer originally put into the bottle. I have to assume I got a bad bottle. The kitchen drain will have to finish this one (my apologies to the drain).
I will attempt to find another bottle and re-review.

It would be tough to go to Six Flags and be forced to only watch other people ride the roller coasters. And it would be unreasonable to go to Del Frisco's and get the appetizer salad for dinner.
No disrespect, because Del Frisco's has a mean wedge salad, but not enjoying one of their fine cuts of meat (Porterhouse, medium, if you're looking for a suggestion) would defeat the purpose of venturing to a high-end steak place for dinner.
But that's the type of situation Rangers' lefty Martin Perez is in as the club returned from an 11-game road trip Tuesday. He was at the stadium - a big smile and a thicker beard on his face - but can't play baseball as he rehabs his throwing elbow after May 19 Tommy John surgery.
"That's part of the game, that's how I think of it," Perez said. "I'm not the first one or the last one to [have it happen]. Just focusing my rehab and come back strong next year."
Right now, Perez is focused solely on taking care of his arm, he said. He is working on slowly regaining movement in the elbow and doing exercises with five-pound weights.
Perez plans to stay in Texas for his rehab process. He will go to Arizona when it's time for him to face hitters, but that stage of recovery is several months away.
Until then, his impact will be from the dugout.
"My season is over but I still want to support my teammates," Perez said. "I just want to go talk outside, because we need to win. That's why I come here, to be with my teammates and talk with my teammates."
As far as the ever-increasing frequency of the infamous Tommy John surgery needed to repair the UCL ligaments in so many young pitchers' arms, it's just a part of the game.
"Maybe we throw a lot before, or now, I don't know," Perez said. "That's baseball. It's a consequence of working hard and liking to compete."
The standard recovery time for Tommy John surgery is 12 to 18 months. Perez hopes to be "ready to rock and roll" for a majority of the 2015 season.
Luckily for him, he can afford a few Porterhouses AND the wedge salad between now and the next time he toes the rubber.

Stay at home and watch telly, trade bodies urge Brits
In a desperate application of herd-mentality tactics, home entertainment trade organisations are once again trying to persuade us to buy more kit and content by telling us that's what almost everyone else is doing. Today, for example, the British Video Association (BVA) highlighted an online survey conducted by pollster YouGov …
Yes but no
We bought the biggest plasma screen on earth, just at the point we were finding that our TV watchign was pretty much nil. We don't play games at all, so it is mostly covered with a sheet. We are swimming, kayaking, walking: inexpensive hobbies in these troubled economic times. So, sorry, vendors of couch potato toys, looks like Brits aren't totally baaing to your call.
Yours, fit and smug in London UK.
I don't see much to be smug about in spending a fortune on a TV you never use.
Err ... Ms. Bee ...
Might want to wack Tony Smith upside the head ... he used the "sheeple" word ;-)
That is all
I might
If they were to provide the content I wanted in the manner I wanted. I don't want a new TV or anything like that. I want it streamed on demand to my computer, my phone and my laptop. Plus to my soon to be coming my way Android slate tablet.
They are sorely mistaken if they think I am going to pay a lot of money for yet another TV within 3 years of buying the last one.
I echoed the article writer's concern about this:
"Stay in": Posted Wednesday 9th June 2010 12:30 GMT in "In Sony BDV-E370 Blu-ray home cinema kit":

I said: "That's right, stay in, safe in your own home. Don't venture out, socialise, connect with others and see live entertainment or make your own. Just consume. Do you really need this?"
last on the list
I too would rather tighten the belt every where else other than the cherished social fizzy happy pop at my local pub.
In these times of austerity I have reduced the frequency of my visits however.
My TV is 22 years old...
That should give you an idea of how much I watch. Amazingly enough, it's a 21" Sony Trinitron (remember those?) so it's still pretty good. I get my "Top Gear", "Being Human" and MotoGP out of it, and some games on the HALO-box, so I'm happy.
Speaking of Top Gear, there's some shit US version coming out this weekend. Looks like the people they got to do it are about as amusing as 3 rocks in a box.
Austerity doesn't affect us all
but for those that are affected, surely downloading, I mean piracy, is another option to reduce costs :)
