Retirement living in New Mexico may just be what you've been looking for but always guarantee that you've weighed up your options before you get your heart set on a specific facility. Don't be hesitant to ask questions about the facilities that appeal to you, like the features, activities, other residents, amenities and local places to eat, cinemas and senior clubs. Do you want to secure a community in a spot close to your family's residence or or do you want to live where there is quick access to hospitals? Whatever appeals to you, always be sure that your budgeting needs are kept at the forefront.

The chief symptoms of Alzheimer's are made up of mood swings, forgetfulness, withdrawal from social activities, lapses of memory, confusion, communication issues and set backs with recalling names and dates. The disease does not affect all sufferers in the same way, which means just a few signs may be apparent in some people where as all may be present in others.

5/07/1957 - Score hit with line drive
Through two seasons, Indians pitcher Herb Score had established himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball. The talented left-hander went 36-19 in his first two seasons, leading the American League in strikeouts both times and earning a pair of All-Star Game appearances.
But it all came crashing down in a night game against the New York Yankees. Score threw a pitch to Yankees shortstop Gil McDougald, who hit the baseball directly his right eye. The line drive temporary blinded Score and kept him out of the lineup for a full year. He returned in the latter half of the 1958 season, having regained his 20/20 vision. However he was never the same; he pitched in only six more seasons, compiling a 19-27 record with a 4.20 ERA in those years.
McDougald, described as quiet and sensitive, was distraught over the incident, having inadvertently caused a gush of blood to stream out of the pitcher's face. "I'll quit this game if he loses his eye," he told reporters after the game. "The hell with it. I'm not playing anymore."
Score defended McDougald for the remainder of his career and even invited him to his wedding a few weeks after the accident. He blamed his later woes on a series of arm injuries, which he claimed had forced him to change his pitching rotation. But in most people's minds, it was McDougald's hit that had short-ended what looked to be a Hall of Fame career. "The evidence is pretty clear that Gil McDougald destroyed more than a pitcher when he drilled one back through the mound," wrote Jim Murray of the L.A. Times. "He destroyed a legend."
"He would have been probably one of the greatest, if not the greatest, left-handed pitchers that ever lived,'' teammate Bob Feller later said of him. "He'd probably have been better than (Sandy) Koufax."5/07/1989 - Jordan beats Cavs in Game 5
It's not a great day in Cleveland sports history.
Michael Jordan hits "The Shot" against the Cleveland Cavaliers, sending the Cavs packing and the Bulls to the next round. It was the final leg of the four-part Cleveland sports curse, with its other counterparts being "The Catch," "The Drive," and "The Fumble."

5/07/1994 - Nuggets upset Sonics in five
In one of the greatest upsets in sports history, the Denver Nuggets defeat the Seattle SuperSonics, 98-94, in overtime in the fifth and final game of their first round series. The Nuggets became the first No. 8 seed to defeat a No. 1 and did it after getting crushed in the first two games of the series. When the buzzer sounded, Nuggets center Dikembe Mutombo -- who had eight points, eight blocks, and 15 rebounds -- was the last man holding the ball. As his team ran onto the court, Mutombo dropped to his back and cradled the ball above his head -- one of the most iconic images of the NBA.
It was a mortifying loss for the Sonics, who were thinking sweep after destroying them in games 1 and 2. With a 63-19 record, Seattle was the best team in the NBA and, with Michael Jordan's sudden retirement, were looking a championship directly in the face. They had four more great seasons with Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton as the stars, and even advanced to the finals in 1996. But by that time, Jordan had come back from retirment and his Chicago Bulls defeat the Sonics in six games.
As for the Nuggets, they added to the mystique of their upset by never taking the next step and becoming a contender. Although they pushed the Utah Jazz to seven games in the next round, they got swept by the San Antonio Spurs in 1995. In 1996 they lost 47 games, and then 61 games in 1997 before losing 71 games in 1998 -- giving them one of the worst records in history.
5/07/1995 - Reggie scores eight in 8.9 seconds
From 1993 to 2000, the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers met six times in the postseason. During those encounters, Reggie Miller had numerous performances that established him as the ultimate Knick-killer. His most remarkable performance came in Game 1 of the 1995 semifinals, when he carried the Pacers to one of the most miraculous wins in NBA history.
With 18.7 seconds left, the Knicks held a virtually-insurmountable 105-99 lead. The ball was inbounded to Reggie Miller, who took a long three from the left hand side and knocked it down with 16.4 to go. New York still had a three-point lead. but they were out of timeouts. With a five-second violation in jeopardy, Knicks forward Anthony Mason tried to force it in to Greg Anthony, who was being defended by Miller. Anthony fell down -- helped by a light push from Reggie -- and the ball landed in Miller's hands. Miller then took a step behind the three-point line, fired it from the same exact spot, and hit it -- tying it up at 105.
He wasn't done. On the Knicks' next possession, John Starks was needlessly fouled intentionally by Pacers forward Sam Mitchell, who was unaware that the game was tied. Starks, whose ability to perform in the clutch had long been questioned by the tabloids, did the unthinkable and missed both foul shots. Patrick Ewing grabbed the second of his two misses and attempted a short putback. His shot was off, and Anthony Mason fouled Reggie Miller as the two fought for the rebound. Miller hit both foul shots and gave the Pacers a 107-105 lead with 7.5 to go.
The Knicks missed their last shot and Indiana won, thanks to one of the craziest endings anyone had ever seen. Miller had scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to single-handedly give Indiana the win. As Miller ran back to the locker room, he loudly addressed his opponents as "choke artists!"
"He can't call the Knicks choke artists, but he can call me," said a distraught Starks. "I choked, simple as that. I have to take the blame for this. I have to put it on my shoulders. I had a chance to ice the game with two free throws, and I blew it."
5/07/1995 - Anderson steals ball from Jordan
We go from the highpoint of Jordan's career (The Shot) to the lowpoint of his career (The Turnover).
It was Game 1 of the 1995 semifinals series between the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls. There were 20 seconds left and the Bulls were in possession of the ball; they had just taken a 91-90 lead thanks to an alley-oop dunk by Scottie Pippen and a steal by B.J. Armstrong. After a timeout, the ball was inbounded to Michael Jordan -- who had returned from retirement not even two months earlier. Jordan had had a bad game, shooting just 8-22 from the floor. But now all he had to do was hold onto the ball.
As Jordan dribbled into the frontcourt, the ball was slapped away by Magic guard Nick Anderson, who had snuck up from behind him. The ball went into the hands of Penny Hardaway, who passed it to Horace Grant for a breakaway dunk, giving Orlando a 92-91 lead. On the Bulls' next possession, an additional mistake was made by Jordan, who passed up an open jumper and threw it to the baseline -- thinking that Scottie Pippen would pop out for a jumper. Instead, Pippen ran to the basket and the ball sailed out of bounds. Orlando won it, 94-91, and took a 1-0 series lead.
"I knew he was behind me," Jordan said of Anderson. "I didn't know which way. I tried to stay in front of him. Really, I was just trying to avoid the foul and I really thought that they had to foul me. I misjudged him being on my right side and he just slapped the ball away."
This game proved to be an interesting moment in NBA history for several reasons. At that time, the young and talented Orlando Magic -- led by Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway -- were the best team in the NBA. Nick Anderson was the hero. Michael Jordan was the goat for maybe the only time of his career. The Magic would go on to win the series in six games -- they were the team of the future. The Bulls looked be on the way down -- they were the team of the past.
Within a year, everything had changed. Only one month after the high of stealing the ball from M.J., Nick Anderson missed four straight free throws in one of the more infamous chokejobs in history and cost the Magic from winning a game. Chicago regrouped and won 72 games the following season and swept Orlando in the conference finals. Chicago won an additional three titles in the 1990's while the Magic -- undone by the free-agent loss of Shaquille O'Neal -- fell back to earth almost immediately.
The game is also notable for being the final time that Jordan wore the No. 45 uniform. In Game 2, Jordan switched back to his trademark No. 23, a move that had not been authorized by the league and cost him $25,000. After Game 1, Nick Anderson had told reporters that "No. 45 is not No. 23," meaning that Jordan had lost a step since he came back. Most people believed that Jordan took it as a challenge and made the switch to prove that he still had it.

5/07/2009 - Manny suspended 50 games
Only a few months removed from the report that Alex Rodriguez used steroids as a member of the Texas Rangers, baseball suffers another blow. Manny Ramirez, the eccentric and often crazy star of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is suspended 50 games for violating MLB's drug policy. Ramirez tested positive for hGC, a women's fertility drug often used by players who were cycling off their steroid use. Ramirez was also found to have a testosterone level abnormal for someone not taking performance-enhancing drugs.
With the suspension, Ramirez became the highest-profiled baseball player to get suspended under the league's anti-drug policy. The news was shocking to Dodger fans, who had quickly fallen in love with the once-sure-fire Hall of Famer. There had even been a portion of Dodger Stadium named after him, Mannywood, where fans could purchase a Mannywood t-shirt and a ticket for $99 (Manny's jersey number). Ramirez had turned once-unsellable seats in left field into the premier location at the ballpark. When Ramirez tested positive, Mannywood was disbanded for the time that he was suspended.
Ramirez did not challenge the suspension or claim that he had been incorrectly tested. He did, however, claim that the drug was given to him by a prescription doctor and that he had been taking it for his health, without knowing that it was illegal. Of course by 2009, everyone was so jaded when it came to steroids that Manny's excuse wasn't given an ounce of respect -- not when he was caught taking a women's pregnancy supplement.
The biggest losers in the Manny suspension, or so it appeared, were the Dodgers, who had the best record in baseball when he got suspended. They had even won 13 games in a row at home, the most to start a season in 123 years. But even without their super-star slugger, the Dodgers managed to hold on to the best record in baseball and finished the season with a comfortable lead in the National League West.
Later that year, Ramirez was linked in a New York Times article saying that he and David Ortiz had taken performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. For Ramirez, whose innocence had already been tarnished, the news was nothing shocking. For Ortiz, a noted advocate against steroid use, the revelation was front page news.

You knew it was coming. Binders full of women, the funny Amazon reviews. (HT: Tara McGinley)
Amazon reviews for "binders" (full of women) are funnier than Romney's original gaffe
10 Responses to "Amazon reviews for "binders" (full of women) are funnier than Romney's original gaffe"
After reading a few of those reviews, I'm feeling a little sorry for Avery's PR people.
Poor Amazon, too. What did they ever do to you?
Meh… don't know about that. No one is blaming anything on the existence of actual binders after all.
Besides it has a good ring: Avery is the binder of choice, even for your women!
Besides it has a good ring
I see what you did there.
I'm dense, but why is it really a gaffe? He actually is practicing affirmative action, no?
Is it that it sounds dirty?
Not so much that it sounds dirty (sounds more creepy to me), but that the way he related this in the anecdote sounds like he views women as just sort of a thing to check off ("alright, let's look at some women job candidates") rather than an actual group of people who would offer value to an administration.
Also, a women's group reached out to him to put forward candidates, and the number of women in top positions went down during his administration:
His views of women that he related to the debate audience weren't improved by a later answer in which he was discussing work/life balance by saying he favors flexible work hours so women could get home and cook dinner for their families (and offering no mention of how work/life balance measures could benefit men).
What Evan said, plus it's the fact that he didn't actually know of any qualified women so had to (supposedly) go out and ask others to send them to him. (In reality, the candidates were sent in prior to this.) The attitude was that we don't need laws or regulations, we just need good people like him to be nice and give them jobs, and when the economy is going again, unemployment will be so low that employers won't have any choice but to give even women (!) jobs.
But basically, it just confirms that he's out of touch.
Especially once women can be forced back into low paying jobs! I mean if people's options are bad enough, they'll work just about anywhere doing just about anything! See… then everybody's happy!
Hmmm….Looks like a good place to drop this.
Amazon's probably not mad; the hit count must be through the roof on this one.

Rethinking Birth Control & Abortion
by CaluluA few days ago our Spiritual Abuse Survivor Blogs Network member Libby Anne of Love, Joy, Feminism wrote a compelling post called 'How I Lost Faith in the "Pro Life" Movement'. She laid out how she'd gone from a staunch member of the Pro Life movement to a Progressive Pro Choice position over the years. The evidence she presents shows that increased access to birth control reduces the abortion rates. Banning abortion doesn't do any good towards reducing the number of abortions either.I can see that.

NLQ FAQ: Should There Be a "You" in Quivering?
What "Deny Yourself" Means - and Doesn't Mean by Kristen Rosser ~ aka: KR Wordgazer The founders of No Longer Qivering spelled "Quivering" without a "u" because, as they say, "There is no 'you' in Quivering" - there's no place for self - and they claim this is a bad thing. But Jesus said that a true believer must deny himself, take up his cross and follow after Him. Quiverfull women take the Bible's admonition to die to self very seriously. We use the acronym J.O.Y., for true JOY comes from putting "Jesus first, Others second and Yourself last." How can you encourage Christian wives and mothers to turn from Christ's teachings by making "You" a priority?The problem with the way Quiverfull f … [Read more...]

Mitcham man fined £100 for shoplifting steak in Tesco
Updated 7:12am Friday 21st March 2014 in News By Louisa Clarence-Smith, Reporter
A 50-year-old man was fined for stealing £25 worth of steak at a Tesco self-scan checkout.
He paid for the cheap items on the self-scan at the Beverley Way store in Mitcham but placed the expensive items in the bag without paying.
The shoplifter was fined £100 by police at about 1pm yesterday.
Police said they issued the fine instead of arresting him to save time and money in prosecution costs.

How good do you think this guy will do this year and what level do you think he will play at. I am a huge fan of his because he is from my hometown.
Posted 01 March 2012 - 09:52 PM
Hermsen had a terrific 2011 season. I think he'll likely spend the entire season in Ft. Myers. If he pitches really well, he could move up to New Britain. It will be interesting to see if the Twins add him to the 40 man roster after the season.
Posted 01 March 2012 - 09:56 PM
I agree I think he does spend the entire season in Fort Myers but I saw him a lot this off season at school.
Posted 02 March 2012 - 10:11 AM
He had a hell of a year last year, hopefully he can keep builting up his pitches to turn into a 2 or 3 in the rotation. If he repeats what he did last year I could see him ending up in AA by the season's end.

Wheaton's First-Ever 5K Color Run Experience
The Wheaton Park District and the Rotary Club of Central DuPage partnered to bring the city's first ever 5K color run experience to Wheaton. The Wheaton Fun Run in Color 5K is meant to be a vibrant and active way to ring in spring with the whole family, according to a Wheaton Park District press release.
Dan Novak, Superintendent of Special Facilities at the Park District, was one of the catalysts for bringing a color run experience to Wheaton. Several years ago, he did one with his family in Chicago.
"The best thing about it is that is was a gathering for friends and family to be active and have a blast. And that's the environment we as a planning team are trying to capture with Wheaton's Fun Run," Novak said in a news release.
So what exactly does this run entail?
Participants are encouraged to wear white or light colors to maximize the color potential. During the race course through Wheaton neighborhoods and Northside Park, they will pass through several "color stations," which will consist of volunteers who will shower the runners with vibrant hues.
While the event has sold out, park district officials are still looking for volunteers to help out. Those interested can sign up online.
The color is food-grade quality cornstarch that is bio-degradable, non-toxic, and 100 percent safe, according to park district officials. By the end of the race, participants will be walking kaleidoscopes.
"We don't want people to be intimidated about the 'run' part of this event," Novak said. "This event is geared toward fun. So while a participant can be a serious runner, they can also walk the course as individual, family, or team."
Proceeds from the he Fun Run 2014 in Color benefit local Rotary-supported charities and two Wheaton Park District foundations: The DuPage County Historical Museum Foundation and Cosley Zoo Foundation.
Sponsors for this event include Edward Jones, Whitlock and Associates, ServPro, Huck Bouma, DuPage Medical Group, Bauer Orthodontics, First Trust, Wheaton Eye Clinic, Powell and Boyle, Squeegee Brothers, and Cantigny.

NDP forms new federal association in re-drawn riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay
Federal New Democrats in the area took an important step towards the next election when they founded a new riding association on Saturday.
Members met at the Sonora Community Centre in Osoyoos to establish an association for the new federal district of South Okanagan-West Kootenay (SOWK).
Elections Canada has redrawn the federal political map to reflect changes in population and the expansion of the House of Commons. SOWK replaces the present riding of B.C. Southern Interior, and includes portions of the present riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla, including Penticton.
Current NDP MP Alex Atamanenko, who will not be running again, said the establishment of the new association is an important first step.
This will allow the NDP to nominate a new candidate to replace him in the next federal election expected in 2015.
No date has been set for the nomination meeting, but Bev Onischak, membership secretary, said the party wants a candidate in place by the end of May and the association wants one sooner in order for that person to participate in local parades this spring.
The party is considering having two or three separate nomination meetings to make it easier for people in different parts of the riding to attend, Onischak said.
Only two people have announced plans to seek the nomination, but Onischak said others have picked up papers or expressed an interest. Saturday's meeting established a search committee to look for other possible candidates.
The two who have announced already are Margaret Maximenko, of Christina Lake, and Richard Cannings of Penticton. Maximenko is a former board member in her regional district, and Cannings is a well-known environmentalist and author. Cannings ran and lost in last May's provincial election.
"I think they're both strong candidates," said Atamanenko. "They bring a wealth of experience and I think either one of them would be a really good representative for this area."
At Saturday's meeting, attended by about 60 people, the new riding association also selected an executive.
The president is Vincent Salvo of Castlegar and the vice president is Dave Ligertwood of Penticton.
Onischak said the executive is well balanced between the new riding's four regions: Penticton, South Okanagan, Boundary and West Kootenays.

She is so unlike all the "wild child with issues" peers, her age. You will never see her arrested for DUI, possession, indecent exposure, fighting… whatever. She has my up most respect. She has grown up to become a very classy, respectable, kind, generous, and beautiful young lady. Anyone who has anything negative or hateful to say towards her is just an insecure bully who needs a good mental health therapist to work out their own personal issues. The thing about Taylor? Heck, she would probably approach them and give them an empathetic hug.

Mind you, in real life, cars in the 70s and 80s looked more primitive than those of the 40s and 50s. Go figure !
Although I do like NX-01, I think the Conestoga would've been a better design for that era.
And that's my opinion.

Smell is of malt, grain, and a very mild skunk aroma. Taste is much the same with a corn flake flavor on the finish. There is a slight metallic flavor that I am getting after each sip. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty poor beer with a cool bottle but a product inside that is not good.

Bottle: Poured super light bright yellow lager with a small pure white foamy head with light retention. Aroma of adjunct and fusel alcohol is not very enticing. Taste is also dominated by adjunct with light fusel alcohol notes. Body is light with medium carbonation. Not just bland but actually quite bad.

Ugh, was it Bobby or Patrick that shared this beast? Either way, you suck.
A: The beer is a pale straw color with a short lived white head.
S: A distinct aroma of cigarettes and skunk. It's quite vegetal with plenty of corn. There's a bit of garbage water to it which only makes things better. Strangely, some grapes and corn syrup.
T: At least the flavor isn't quite as atrocious. Straw and corn are the biggest contributors. Not much in the way of cigarettes, though there still is some old vegetable smell to it. It's also sort of watery.
M: Very light in body with a medium level of carbonation.
O: Yeah, the bottle might be cool, but this beer is not good at all.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.
I remember buying a bottle of this a few years ago because of the unusual bottle design. I then found myself repeating such an endeavor again this week. This stuff pours a clear pale straw topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises wild rice, sweet biscuit, light corn, and sweet flowers. The taste brings in more of the same, a prevarication between sweetness and mild funkiness created throughout. The body is fairly light, with a light moderate carbonation and a watery feel. Overall, a slightly mediocre little lager, nothing close to special or even memorable beyond the bottle.

330ml green smiling buddha shaped bottle, with "Lucky" the only front-facing text visible.
This beer pours a slightly hazy pale straw colour, with two fingers of thin foamy, fizzy white head, which quickly retreats, leaving some decent scatter-shot lace around the glass. It smells of pale malt, overripe apple, candy floss, and a bit of grassy, weedy hops. The taste is sweet rice pudding grain, more apple orchard musty fruitiness, and some moderately skunky earthy hops. The carbonation is on the low side, the body light, a little thin, but otherwise smooth. It finishes fairly clean, a bit off-dry, the rice cracker grain lording over some latent weedy hops.
By far the best Chinese beer that I've had, which admittedly isn't saying much, as such things are indeed relative. Add in the funky Buddha green bottle (shout out to heavy drinking E-Towners, there), and this is a veritable step up from your usual AAL suspects, especially those from foreign countries that somehow out-suck the American progenitors.

Lucky Beer... labeled Luckybuddha on the front of the green-glass 'Buddha' shaped bottle.
There appears to be no freshness date but the back label reads "IMPORTED BEER - PRODUCT OF CHINA... .. BREWED AND BOTTLED BY CHEERDAY BREWERY HANGZHOU, CHUNAN COUNTY, ZHEJIANG PROVINCE, CHINA'
11.16 oz. bottle, 4.8% ABV
$1.99 @ Whole Foods, 10020 Regency Circle, Omaha, NE
As might be expected, the green glass has left this beer skunked. It's also somewhat hazy. It appears to have had some yeast sediment in it...? Or is that just sediment because it's old (doesn't taste particularly old)...
It pours a deep golden-orange body beneath a short head of short-lived bright white froth. Interestingly, it still leaves curtains of tiny spots and splashes with each sip.
The aroma is ... skunk... but with some sweetish and grainy malt behind it. The hops that are there don't quite make it through, but they do add to the generic "beer" aroma - topped only by the skunkiness which brings it up to the "imported beer" arena.
The flavor, as usual, follows the aroma: generic imported beer that's been skunked. There's a bit of a light sweet malt character to it, and a touch of floral character. Also some graininess and grassiness. It's very-firmly bitter, and well-balanced. In this case, the Chinese have done a very good job of replicating a low-priced, exported southern German 'Pilsner".
Easy to drink, and with that "european aroma and flavor", this is a great beer to share with your neighbors - especially given the odd-looking green Buddha bottle ;)

Pours a clear straw gold that gets a nice sized off white head from an aggressive pour, but falls fairly qickly. Nose is muted. Slight grain fragrance. Flavor is definitely light with a slight sweet tone to it. Mild grain character on the flavor too. Feel is standard. Good level of carbonation. Drinkable? Sure. It is a lager to pound, but for the price, forget it. Just because it has a cool glass doesnt mean that it should cost so much. Seems like a novelty to me.

maybe my favorite shushi beer. cool bottle obviously. pours hazy straw color with a one inch white head. looks like a wheat beer more than anything, and next to a tsing tao is looked positively unfiltered, but who knows. the smell is rather sweet from the malts, and a yeast that is a step up from generic provides some mild fruit tones. flavor is pretty similar to the nose, its is crisp and refreshing for sure, and stands up rather well to the hot wasabi. its a good palate cleanser between different fishes. mouthfeel is okay, bright and bubbly, but heavier than a lager should be i think. not a bad brew in the right context, btu certainly not something i would seek out outside of a sushi place.

Saw this 11.16 fl oz bottle at Whole Foods HQ and had to try it. The gimmicky bottle is great - love the shape and design. Too bad it's green glass. Meh. Cap is red in colour and branded "Lucky Buddha." I believe the beer itself is called "Lucky Buddha" as well - not just "Lucky" - based on the label. 4.8% ABV confirmed. I have to wonder how their bottling machine affixes the label on the back so well; that's impressive. No style is indicated on the label, but the label identifies it as an "Asian style lager" brewed with rice so I'm reviewing it as a Japanese style rice lager. Served into an Independence brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live.
Served cold - straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as it's poured.
Pours a half finger wide head of pathetic dull off-white colour. Horridly thin, with no creaminess at all. Weak consistency and poor complexion. Head retention is terrible - less than 30 seconds. No lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes. Quite a poor head all around, but at least it has one.
Body colour is a predictable clear translucent yellow. You can read text through this beer it's got such clarity. Average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible. Appears adequately carbonated.
Overall, it's to style (for better or for worse). Not unique or special, but it's hard to set yourself apart in this style. No egregious flaws. Admittedly, it's not much to look at, but it doesn't turn me away.
Sm: Spring water, crystal malt, crisp clean rice, clean barley, and a heavy graininess. Any hopping is extremely limited and lacks any discernable character. Straw. Maybe honey. Biscuit. Corn adjunct/flaked corn. It's pretty heavy on the adjunct, but for the style it's not bad. It ain't good, either.
No yeast character or alcohol is detectable. An inoffensive aroma of below average strength. I can't say I'm looking forward to trying it, but I do love beer, and beer this is.
T: Heavy on the graininess, with some surprisingly diverse adjunct character - flaked corn, crisp rice, and cheap malted barley all make an appearance. I do appreciate a good adjunct character from time to time, and I'm digging the adjunct here. It embraces what it is, and there's something to be said about that. Clean and enjoyable, with nice pilsner malt and straw. Heavy on the crystal malt. Cereals. What doesn't work here as well as in other Asian beers is the spring water; you've got to nail the spring water to really deliver on this style. Has a kiss of artificial lemon syrup. Hops do make a brief appearance, lending some very generic very light fruity and floral character - it's all very vague and you shouldn't expect to identify specific fruits or flowers. Clean lager yeast was probably used; I don't find any yeast character. Has a fair sweetness, but it's not overly sweet.
Graininess is dominant.
Okay balance. Quite simple. There's no real complexity or subtlety here. Not a nuanced flavour profile by any means. Cohesive, but not gestalt. Low depth of flavour. Average flavour duration and intensity for the style, but low on both counts overall.
No alcohol comes through.
Do I like it? It has its place.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Could be more crisp. Should be more refreshing. The texture complements the flavour profile well, which is more than I can say about a lot of beers. That's said, it's certainly not custom-tailored to the taste. Decent body and presence on the palate. A bit too thick, though. Quite overcarbonated.
Not oily, astringent, rough, gushed, hot, boozy, or harsh. It does seem just a bit stale, to its obvious detriment.
Dr: Pretty drinkable. I can't see a casual beer drinker having any trouble killing this by the bottle. I wouldn't purchase it again unless it was the best offering at a sushi joint/Asian restaurant. Ultimately, the best thing about it may be the bottle design. All things considered, the beer doesn't rely on the gimmick of the bottle design, and does bring some flavour to the table. I walked into this with admittedly low expectations, and to its credit it did surpass them. You could do worse for the style.
I think this beer is an easy target for elitist reviewers due to the obvious marketing potential of the bottle design itself. Let's be fair, though. It's not an offensive brew by any means.

Clear, lemony yellow coloured body, with a compact head of pure white foam. Pretty nice looking.
Quite sharp, pleasant nose, reminiscent of a green-bottle euro lager. Herbs, crushed leaves and a bit of citrus. Not bad, if you like that sort of thing.
Taste is more subdued. Bit of spicy citrus, but it falls away quickly just leaving a slight carbonic acid taste and a hint of unpleasant yeast. Mouthfeel light and spritzy, but not bad.
It's very light, and pretty simple, but it's also quite drinkable. Obviously, the marketing is based largely on their funky bottle, but it's a solid, if not outstanding euro-style lager.

I love it when my local, in-person trader, tone77 stops by! I get spent CANs FFT Jeff Lebo, new CANs for me and bottles that I might never have bought myself, but which I always get a kick out of seeing in the box/six-pack holder/bag. This is certainly no exception!
I began with a heavy-handed pour since I was anxious to empty the bottle and begin rubbing the Buddha's belly for good luck. This resulted in two fingers of dense, puffy, rocky, bone-white head with good retention. It began to fall as I rubbed, leaving behind some nice lacing. Color was a pretty Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4) with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a light grassiness, which I can appreciate, just so long as corn is not also present as an adjunct. Something was slightly off with respect to the nose, but corn did not seem to be the cause. Mouthfeel was kind of thin and watery, approaching medium. The taste was kind of grassy with a slight tartness, but as long as no corn was evident, I was happy. I have been mislead before and not been happy as a result. Finish was semi-dry with a light maltiness to go with its inherent grassiness. I found it pleasant and probably a good candidate for a lawnmower beer. Enlightenment was now mine!

(Served in a globe glass)
A- This beer pours a crystal clear yellow body with a snow white head that is supported by a sea of slow bubbles. The head sticks to the glass as it breaks up.
S- The green dry licorice note has some noble hop hints and a faint sulfur hint when it is pretty warm. The smell is nice but pretty clean.
T- The soft slightly sweet taste of corn has a dry raw grain hint to it and a flat flavor in the finish. The field corn flavor returns on the exhale.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a flat texture on the tongue and a tight scrubbing fizz in the finish.
O- This beer has a nice aroma of a good Kolsch but the flavor just doesn't follow through. It has an odd "flat" flavor which is the only way I can really describe it. Almost like club soda without the carbonation.

Pours a one finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving no lace. Crystal clear straw color. Good carbonation and very light bodied. Sweet adjunct nose and flavor is similar with slightly sweet corn and grains. Should be drunk after mowing lawn and not while critically reviewing. $4.04 for a 330ml bottle from The Quad Las Vegas, NV.

A bizarre green bottle I assume is Buddha found at the Beverage Warehouse.
In the glass this is your standard yellow colored beer with a small white head.
The smell is sweetish and grassy with a little toasted grain aroma.
The taste begins dry with a faint acidity and a little toasted grain. This becomes a little sweeter as I drink it but the toasted grain flavor remains and a slight astringent grain husk flavor appears.
The mouthfeel is light.
Easy to drink, as this is one of those beers that seems to be quite close to being water. There is some flavor here but I can't really see buying this again except, as a gift for the bottle only, probably will become collectible if the company goes out of business.

Pours a light straw yellow color with a white, short lived frothy head. A bit of lace is left on the glass. Aroma of creamed corn, husk and clean, euro like malts. The taste is much the same. Bready, corn flake flavor and scarce leafy hop. Light, sugary body and real sweet. Overall, not too bad, not good either.

I poured this from a height of 2 inches or so above the glass giving me a pretty decent big white head that quickly fell into a nice lacing. A semi-carbonated clear wet straw colored lager with a strong sour lemon yeasty aroma reminds me of Heineken (does this happen to all beers in green bottles-if so why the green bottle)
The taste mellows from the aroma but is a light sour with some light grain malts and a very slight yeast coming through.
A light bodied beer with a light lemon pucker dry aftertaste.
I'd have to pass on drinking much of this, but if you're a Heineken fan you'll probably dig this stuff.

Rushing In
Brooklyn's Tea Leigh makes haunting, ethereal folk-fi with close harmonies and close-to-home lyricism; if you're not careful with lines like "we laugh at terrible things," they will cut you. Her influences run the gamut from Sufjan to Cocorosie, but you might hear a little Mountain Man in the shimmering finger-picking and the soft but occasionally menacing chimes of the vocal blend, or the first Youth Lagoon album in the wary, youthful understatement that characterizes Leigh's tone. The video for "Rushing In" gives us an intimate, but ultimately unrevealing portrait of the artist; sun-drenched medium shots eschew focus and in close-ups, various fabrics and hair strands protect Leigh's face and eyes. It works: the visual and aural texts converge on an air of Sphinx-without-a-secret mystery, and the feeling that the closer we're getting, the further away we really are. Watch above.

Staff Compensation & Performance Management
In 2011, Bethel launched the Staff Compensation and Performance Management (SCPM) project, with the goal of developing new staff compensation and performance management systems that affirm Bethel's investment in its employees.
Staff Compensation and Performance Management Philosophy
Boldly informed and motivated by the Christian faith, Bethel University's mission is to educate and energize men and women for leadership, scholarship, and service. The university believes that each staff member is an investment in Bethel's future and is committed to designing and maintaining a total compensation (salary and benefits) system that recognizes the contributions that staff members make to Bethel's mission. The total compensation system aspires to meet the following key objectives:
- Recruitment and retention. Attract, develop, retain, and reward high-quality staff at all levels of responsibility.
- Performance based. Foster staff understanding of the impact of individual and team performance on the university's mission and reward staff on the basis of such performance.
- Internally equitable and externally competitive. In order to recruit and retain staff, both internal and external market forces need to be acknowledged in the design of a total compensation system. Bethel also believes that the benefits provided by the university add significant value in establishing a competitive total compensation package.
- Valid and reliable. Provide consistent application of job evaluation, position evaluation, and pay programs.
- Sustainable. Design and administer plans and programs in a financially sustainable manner.
- Compliance. Comply with all state and federal laws and regulations.
The development of the staff compensation and performance management programs is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees and the Office of Human Resources. The Office of Human Resources will periodically review overall program effectiveness and propose short-term and long-term refinements.
The university is accountable to regularly review and adjust this philosophy to match changing market and economic conditions.
Resources and Updates for the Bethel Community
An advisory committee is in place to work through the project, providing updates and resources for the Bethel community along the way.

CROWLEY, La. (AP) - A 26-year-old firefighter with the Crowley Fire Department was arrested and booked by special agents with state attorney general's office on charges of computer-aided sexual solicitation of a minor and pornography involving juveniles.
Scotty Lavergne, who lives in Church Point, was arrested at the Central Fire Station in Crowley. Lavergne's arrest is the result of an ongoing Internet undercover operation performed by agents at the attorney general's office. Lavergne is a captain with the Crowley Fire Department.
Lavergne allegedly established an unlawful Internet relationship with a person who he believed was a 14-year-old female.
Lavergne was charged with two counts of computer-aided sexual solicitation of a minor and another count of pornography involving a juvenile. He was booked and released from the Acadia Parish Jail, then transported to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, where he was booked and released on a $25,000 bond.

Microsoft releases software to fix bug, repair systems; other cyber weapons could have exploited same flaw-experts; Experts say other cyber weapons may soon be discovered

Microsoft Corp warned that a bug in Windows allowed PCs across theMiddle East to become infected with the Flame virus and released a software fix to fight the espionage tool that surfaced last week.
Security experts said they were both surprised and impressed by the approach that the attackers had used, which was to disguise Flame as a legitimate program built by Microsoft.
"I woke up to this news and I couldn't believe it. I had to ask, 'Am I reading this right?'" said Roel Schouwenberg of Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab, one of the researchers who helped discover the Flame virus.
Experts described the method as "elegant" and they believed it had likely been used to deliver other cyber weapons yet to be identified.
"It would be logical to assume that they would have used it somewhere else at the same time, Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for security software maker F-Secure.
If other types of cyber weapons were indeed delivered to victim PCs using the same approach as Flame, then they will likely be exposed very quickly now that Microsoft has identified the problem, said Adam Meyers, director of intelligence for security firm CrowdStrike.
Cyber weapons that bear the fake Microsoft code will either stop working or lose some of their camouflage, said Ryan Smith, chief research scientist with security firm Accuvant.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft declined to comment on whether other viruses had exploited the same flaw in Windows or if the company's security team was looking for similar bugs in the operating system.
Flame's code included what is known as a digital certificate, which falsely identified it as a piece of software from Microsoft.
The creators of the virus obtained that certificate by manipulating a component of the Windows operating system known as terminal services licensing, or TS licensing, that is designed to authorize business customers to use advanced features of Windows.
A bug in TS licensing allowed the hackers to use it to create fake certificates that identified Flame as being from Microsoft, Mike Reavey, a senior director with Microsoft's Security Response Center, said in a blog post.
He feared that other hackers might be able to copy the technique to launch more widespread attacks with other types of viruses, Reavey said.
"We continue to investigate this issue and will take any appropriate actions to help protect customers," Reavey said in the blog post.
News of the Flame virus, which surfaced a week ago, generated headlines around the world as researchers said that technical evidence suggests it was built on behalf of the same nation or nations that commissioned the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's nuclear program in 2010. Researchers are still gathering information about the virus.
