Rahr & Sons Blonde pours to a pale straw color. The body of the beer is clear and the nose is crisp, combining pale malt with light grassy/earthy notes and biscuits. The foam isn't too bad at first, but it doesn't last very long and leaves little or no lacing.
Rahr & Sons Blonde has a bread- like flavor with some apple fruit notes up front, followed by the taste of light spice in the finish. The taste is sweet overall, but has just enough bitterness and light spice in the flavor profile to keep it from going overboard in the sweetness category.
This beer is certainly a drinkable one and it offers a good deal of crisp, clean, sweet malt to make it drinkable and acceptable to most. The body of the beer is a little thin, but I still find it good and its lightness makes it nice for the hot days of summer.
Overall, a good effort from Rahr & Sons and one I wouldn't turn down if it was offered to me. It doesn't blow you away, but it is quaffable and good as a session beer.

The first thing that stands out about this beer is its appearance. It is a lovely crystal clear glowing shiny gold with big fat carbonation bubbles slowly making their way to the top. The head leaves something to be desired but it is a very pretty beer none the less. I get only faint sweet grain aromas.
This is a delicous and refreshing beer that blalnces a robust grain sweetness with restrained hop bitter carried by a slight grain astringency. Occasionally I get subtle fruit notes (strawberry?) but really its the grain that does the talking in this beer and thats a good thing.
Mouthfeel is rich and creamy but firmly carbonated. Special.

The beer pours a very clear macro yellow with a white head. The aroma is hay, grass, bready malts and honey. The flavor is honey and bread with the aftertaste being some dirty, earthy hops. Light to medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not too good of a beer.

(Served in a Pokal)
thanks to mhewes for this brew
A- This beer has a light copper yellow body with a good carbonation of tiny bubbles. There is a thin bubbly head that fades to a ring of foam.
S- The smell of dry pale malt with a faint Munich malt hint leads to a hint of buttered corn. This is overpowered by a green hop note that is still faint.
T- The slightly sweet raw grain flavor is followed by a soft sulfury noble hop finish that has a faint tang quality to it.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a big fizzy finish.
D- This beer was pretty light in flavor with some off flavors and a bit more malt character would go a long way.

Pours a thin, thin blond straw color. There is an inch of head that dissipates quickly leaving patches of itself in the beer and on the glass.
The smell isn't awful but it is almost non-existent. There is not a lot going on for the nose, maybe some light wheat scents followed by some light malts but not a lot.
Taste is less then fair. It kind of tastes like hay, a cheap wheat or poor malts. Just like the smell there is not a whole lot there. The little flavor that is there fades fast and doesn't flatter the beer or keep my taste buds interested.
If I had to buy it again I would put the beer back on the shelf and buy coors or miller. This beer is very unimpressive.

Pours yellow-gold with a modest but respectable head that subsides into intermittent lace. NB: Head holds better in a pilsner glass than in a pint glass. Steady, medium-light carbonation.
Fairly clean in the nose, a little grainy malt and a little hop spice. In the mouth, very smooth without being either slick or fizzy. Up front, a nice graininess, with a light sweetness that's quickly pushed aside by a great little hit of hops in the finish - somewhat grassy, spicy, not too obtrusive but definitely noticeable. I love the balance of this brew, and it's one of the few I've ever had that I consider genuinely refreshing. This pairs well with almost anything, but especially with lighter lunch fare - a ham sandwich on wheat was just lovely.
This is one I feel I should have reviewed by now and am liking more and more. I don't remember being wowed by this when I first tried it - maybe Fritz has tweaked the formula since then, but it's definitely grown in my esteem. I'm happy to have such a solid local alternative to BMC.

My brother-in-law shared one of these with me on my recent trip to Texas.
Pours a bright yellow with a quarter inch of soft, white head. Both the nose and the flavor are identical. Both are straw-like and wheaty with faint grassy hop notes. This has an overall light body that's smooth and crisp.
This is a very simple beer. It's too style, but leaves me wanting something a little more flavorful. The flavor is correct and it's good, but it's just not intense or forward enough for me. I'm glad I tried it though.

The yellow-gold body of Rahr's helles is just slightly cloudy beneath it's short but creamy head of bright white foam. The retention is average, and lacing is limited. In the nose it's gently yeasty over a firm maltiness that's just lightly grainy and subtly sweetish, and backed by floral and grassy hop notes. The flavor continues in the same vein, and it's nicely balanced between gently grainy and subtly husky malt and grassy and floral hops. It's delicately sweet, balanced by a firm bitterness, and it finishes honeyish with an edge of mineralish and grassy hops that linger shortly on the palate. Enjoyable.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a crystal clear pale gold, with a couple fingers of foamy eggshell colored head. Thin fizzy retention, that bunches around the edges, leaving some decent looking lace back. The aroma is fairly heavy on the grainy malts, with some light grassy hops and citric tones.
The taste is pretty much the same, with maybe the hops being a little more aggressive with a dry spiciness to it. This is backed by that same sweetish mix of toasted bread and citric tang. The mouthfeel is lighter-medium bodied, with a sharpness to it and then a bit of a heavier feel underneath. The prominent sweetness adds some unneeded bulk to the body, that isn't doing the drinkibility any favors for me.
Not horrible but not exactly great either. The tang in this could have used some more bitterness for balance and crispness. Maybe the hops had faded some in this? I'd be willing to investigate a fresher bottle.

Clear, pale gold-yellow in hue, the liquid is far from inspiring, even for the style. White head, at the apex the bubbles reached a finger and a half in height. Head retention was pretty good; it was slow to subside to a modest sized white cap. A thin, soapy cap lasted the entire consumption. The subsequent lacing was organized but not very widespread; there were just a couple thin rings. Nevertheless, I like how this beer looks. Sure, I wish there was a more developed shade to the liquid but Im not going to lose any sleep over it.
The nose is speaking in German and I dont even hear a Texas twang. I am impressed. In other words, I smell a grainy Pils maltiness that is merely a foundation as hints of caramel-husk and dried bread develop. Hops are traditional as well, spicy German hay with a kiss of flowers. Moderate potency. This beer has great articulation. What is the deal with the wussy-sounding name, Blonde Lager? Come on! It sounds like a nondescript brewpub beer and based on the nose alone I know this beer is real German. Give it a damn name to match!
The palate is delicious. I cant put it any simpler than that. The malt foundation is tremendous with dried bread, crackers, caramel-husk, with a big Pils finish. It is impressive from start to finish. Prickly bitterness is found throughout, spicy hay with a smattering of lemon bread. The finish seemed to be dry and then, boom (!) a big blast of juicy malt. I cant help but take another sip. And another. Long aftertaste, all the key points resonate well. This is a very good domestic version of a Helles. I dont think it is good as the Thomas Hooker offering but it is as good as anything else Ive had. Impressive. Hell, I love this beer. Flawless.
Medium in body, firm and healthy; the mouthfeel fits this beer very well. I like the moderate carbonation, lightly prickly cleansing and refreshing.
Oh yeah this is a very drinkable beverage. I would quaff this beer very often if I could. This beer, I think, would work for beer geeks and neophytes. First of all, it is tasty with plenty of subtle complexities. IMO, this is a hard style to get right and Rahr nailed it. Texas should be proud. Thanks assurbanipaul, this beer kicked major ass. Recommended.

Good head retention, about 1/2 inch. Looks very promising. Nice golden color with lots of bubbles. Nice lacing on the glass.
The smell is disappointing. Very faint smell of indistinguishable flavors. Not much taste on the front of the tongue. Nice lingering grainy tastes on the back and sides. Would be very good with a plate of cheese enchiladas and rice.
I still need to learn more about the style before grading too hard. Overall refreshing.

Pours out a straw color with a thin, white head and moderate carbonation. Smells grainy with a spicy hop presence. Flavors start off with sweetish malts, followed soon by a hop kick. Very grassy and floral. Palate washes clean just a little too quickly for my taste, however. Mouthfeel is a bit slick and lightbodied with moderate carbonation. Of the three year-rounds from Rahr, this is, by far, my favorite. Highly drinkable.

12oz bottle into pilsner glass.
Perfectly clear light straw color. Fizzy off white head with low retention. Settles to a thin cap, then dissapears after a few minutes. No lacing.
Strong malty background with a very sweet aroma, vey clean smell.
Grainy maltiness along with very light hop twang. Husky aftertaste.
Light bodied, but not watery either, with spritzy carbonation. Very clean finish.
This is a great beer for warmer weather. Very refreshing and easily drinkable.

3.18/5 rDev -4.5%
Appearance: This beer has a golden pilsner look with a tall white head that disapates rapidly, till it gets about a quarter inch tall then slows down to maintain a white ring around my glass. Lots of beading inside with no laceing to be found.
Smell: The smell is grassy hops,hay aromas present a slight stench to this one,a bready yeast and even medicinal.
Taste: The barnyard flavors are definitely present. A hay and grass hop character,mildly sweet malt,also an adjuct corn quaff is noted as well.Not bad just not over zealous about this one.
Mouthfeel: This beer is medium to thin bodied,low to medium carbonation,smooth and easy to drink.
Drinkability: This wasn't that bad,it just didn't have that buy me again factor.I would not recommend this beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle with no dating info into a pint glass. It was light honey color with a bunch of little yeast bits floating around. It was a good pour so it had a large head to whittled down to a broken film. Light carb and tiny bit of lacing. The aroma was so-so. Kinda funky, skunked smell at first then it faded to not much of anything. The taste was OK with a crisp finish. I'm not a huge fan of the style so it wouldn't get great marks to begin with but this is middle of the road for the style. As it warms, the flavor starts to get a weird tang to it so drink cold. If it had a better taste, it could almost sneak into session beer territory but just misses. Overall, it's an OK beer but with so many other good beers out there I don't see me buying another unless it was a choice between Macro and this. Also, I'd try it on-tap once to see what that does for it. (One and done)

3.73/5 rDev +12%
Appearance: Slightly hazy, pale golden body with a decent white head. Below average lacing.
Aroma: Faint, sweet barley with grassy hops and a hint of apple.
Taste: Crisp, grassy, and somewhat subdued hop flavor up front balanced with honey malt bring up the rear. Some apple cider flavors mixed in. The best way I can think of to describe this is as a richer macro without the shitty twang. Somewhat thin, but that's very appropriate for the style. Mildly bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with fine carbonation. Finish dries slightly.
Drinkability: Very easily drinkable and refreshing, this is perfect for a Texas barbecue.
Verdict: This is the beer that the macros should be. If you're looking for something simple and drinkable that won't offend at your next BBQ, you'll do a lot better with a case of this than the normal Bud/Miller/Coors fare.

Well, Jared is certainly in a world of hurt. And exactly where is he? Natalie and John head for the Buchanan lodge and oops, Natalie just happens to stumble over Pamela Stuart's dead body. John finds Jared's wallet at the lodge, but no Jared. And as much as Natalie loves and wants Jared to be innocent, even she knows that the cards are quickly stacking up against him with the dead bodies of Landers and Pamela turning up and Jared is not there to provide any kind of explanation.
I do feel sorry for Natalie. She has never been able to get a break when it comes to relationships. Although I think she and John belong together, I would say that she was totally happy when she married Cristian (although that marriage lasted about five minutes). Anyone in a relationship with John knows they are destined to a life of pulling teeth when it comes to him opening up, but I think Natalie was the best match for him yet.
Anyway, everyone is looking for Jared and Natalie is panicking because she wants to find him first and get him to turn himself in, or so she says. She goes to her brother Rex and asks him to do some P.I. work for her. She explains the situation with Jared and seeing how desperate she is, he agrees to help her find Jared with the only clue being a matchbook from a hotel that is hours away. This really screws up Rex's plans with Gigi, but we'll get to that later.
Someone is still stalking Jessica and calls pretending to be Nash. Brody won't be around to help out right away because he got a mysterious call from his sister Nadine in Michigan and all she told him was that she needed him. Brody didn't want to go since he hasn't had much contact with Nadine but Jessica tells him to go to his sister. Is this part of the setup to get Jessica in a vulnerable position?
Let's move on to Blair. Wow, I have to say that the writers are giving us enough of a dose of Blair's mean streak to make us forget that she has any decency in her at all. As I have said before, I am no fan of Tea Delgado's, but I think Blair's jealousy, possessiveness and hatred when it comes to Todd and Tea make for a horrible combination and she seems to have no qualms about unleashing the nastiest part of her personality. I think it's over the top at this point.
Todd has the brilliant idea to bring in Marty to hypnotize Blair so that she can remember the secret she knows about Tea. We all know that Todd has a sick connection to Blair that somehow can never be broken, but we also know that Todd's motive is self-serving. He wants to know that secret and he probably wouldn't lose sleep over Blair's memory loss if it had nothing to do with him. Blair takes a nasty attitude with Marty because even though she knows John was never going to be with her for the long haul, Blair can't stand Marty for many reasons, the latest being that she now has John.
Blair finally agrees to let Marty hypnotize her and wow, Marty must be a magician because it took her about three minutes to get Blair to go under and remember every word that transpired between her and Tea about Tea's baby. Of course Blair relives the whole scene from before she went sailing out the window and now Marty knows that Tea and Todd had a child together whom Tea is keeping a secret. Silly Marty just assumes that now that Blair has her memory back, she will tell Todd the truth. LOL, Marty maybe a good shrink, but you would think that after all these years she would not be surprised that Blair would refuse to tell Todd the truth and would hang on to that juicy little secret until just the right time when it would serve her best.
Marty warns Blair that secrets have a way of coming out (duh) but Blair doesn't care and she pulls out the confidentiality card, threatening to end Marty's career if she divulges what she learned in their session. Like I said, Blair is just too nasty these days and I won't feel sorry when her scheme comes back to hit her in the face.
Meanwhile, Todd (who loved Tea to distraction five minutes ago) has decided that he no longer has any use for Tea and is lovingly stuck to Blair's side. Of course this doesn't bother Blair one little bit. I don't think there is any difference between Blair and Tea at this point. Neither one of these women has any pride and will resort to any underhanded method to gain Todd's attention. How sick is that? Blair lets Todd take her home from the hospital and fawn all over her and although he is disappointed that the hypnosis didn't work (yeah right) Blair plays the injured little woman saying she hopes she will remember and asks Todd to help her upstairs so she can lie down. Oh, give me a break! I thought that even Todd would be smarter than to fall for Blair's damsel in distress routine. Blair fakes taking a nap and fakes having a dream where she remembers everything from her encounter with Tea. Oh, but the only thing is that Blair doesn't tell Todd the truth about his and Tea's child; NO, she makes up a beauty of a story about how Tea revealed that she and Ross were plotting to scam Todd and get all his money. Todd seems to fall for the whole thing and Blair laps up his attention like a little kitten. And then to top it all off, Blair moves in on Todd and they start making out. Ewwww! Ick! It made me absolutely sick! I think Starr was right on the money when she was talking to Cole about her family and said, "They are a freak show riding on a roller coaster in a house of horrors." I'd say that sums it all up very nicely.

Although the summer always seems to be ever so more hectic here than is the rest of the year, we are always happy to see our many visitors enjoying our fair community. And this past week, we found ourselves enjoying the various activities of the area with some of those summer visitors, namely our son Christopher, our daughter-in-law Annie and our 2½-year-old granddaughter Abby, a.k.a. The Widge.
And while we did take in a number of traditional visitor activities, we also had the opportunity to visit with Jennifer Huntington at her farm south of town.
This was a real treat as Abby is a big fan of any and all animals. Thus the trip to the farm was right up her alley. She loved the puppies, although we hasten to note that she calls all dogs, regardless of age, puppies. She greatly enjoyed sitting on a real quarter horse and petting the newborn calf, which she was encouraged to name.
Unfortunately, she names everything "Blue". And so that was the name she choose. But we don't know if the calf will actually be called "Blue."
The suggestion was made that perhaps the calf should be called "Abby," but Abby didn't seem to think so. It was to be "Blue" as far as she was concerned. Abby also got to pet a baby pig before visiting the show cows that Jennifer's daughter Molly had just exhibited in the Junior Livestock Show.
And we must admit, we found those animals to be most interesting as they were breeds with which we were not familiar. The visit was capped by Abby milking a cow. We must admit, that even with all of our childhood visits to various family farms, we have never milked a cow. But Abby seemed quite pleased with her efforts, sharing her milking experience with anyone who would listen. We thank Jennifer for the farm tour as we, as well as Abby and her parents, greatly enjoyed ourselves.
Of course, Christopher also undertook a rather unusual visitor activity. As luck would have it, he missed his 20th reunion from CCS by one week.
Thus he was delighted to have the chance to have lunch with Carrie Allison and Kristina Ives Loeffler to be filled in on all the pertinent details of the reunion. In fact, it seems that he was so swept away with the news of the reunion that he offered to be part of the planning committee for the next one to be held in five years.
And, no doubt as an extension of the missed reunion, visits were also made with former teachers, Al Bullard and his wife, Sandy, and Tom Ives and his wife, Lorraine. The visit also included a trip to the blacksmith shop owned and operated by Tres Loeffler. We had no idea Tres was even a blacksmith but we understand he trained at Williamsburg and then returned to the Cooperstown area to ply his trade.
Given the weather, which we found less than pleasant, we passed on the visit to the blacksmith shop but we were pleased to learn that Christopher and Annie were so impressed with what they saw that they would like to have Tres make them andirons as well as handrails for some steps, currently sans handrails, in front of their house. We thought the handrails were fantastic news as we have great trouble negotiating steps without them.
Of course, while the Ohio Ellsworths were here, we also enjoyed some more traditional tourist activities such as visiting The Farmers' Museum. Not surprisingly, we had to check out all the animals, especially the horse that the museum offered.
And we, The Widge and her father, took three rides on the carousel while we, the Cooperstown resident, took way too many blurry pictures as they whirled around. We also visited The Farmers' Museum gift shop where Abby picked out, believe it or not, a blue tractor while we indulged ourselves with the purchase of a jar of Pineapple Spread and a jar of Apricot Spread, both made especially for The Farmers' Museum. And while Abby liked the blue tractor, we think, having tried the Pineapple Spread, that we made the better purchase.
And, we suspect, no trip to Cooperstown would be complete without eating at at least one of our local restaurants.
We were able to take in two. We first ate at Pop's Place where we have been known to dine in the past. But it was a first experience for our Cooperstown visitors. Surprisingly, the only complaint came from The Widge, who felt she needed a fork to eat the French fries her father shared with her. Only we would have a 2½-year-old granddaughter who eats her French fries with a fork. And while we know, had we but asked, they would have been more than happy to have given her a fork, she was also quite happy to share ours.
And in addition to the delicious food at Pop's Place, we were also regaled with the story, complete with picture, of the three-legged black bear that wandered by the restaurant a few weeks back. It was quite the story, but having heard it, we think we were quite happy to have missed the experience.
The Widge, of course, would have probably loved it. We also dined at the Hawkeye Grill on the very day that The Widge turned 2½-years-old.
We were joined at dinner by Sam Barickman, who works for Christopher in the scene shop at Kenyon College and who is doing an internship this summer at the Glimmerglass Opera. And Abby celebrated by ordering a PB and J with potato chips and milk. This was augmented by some of her mother's tomato appetizer as well as the cherry tomatoes from her father's salad.
Then she topped the meal off with a dish of chocolate ice cream. And we suspect, from the way she polished it off, she would recommend it in a heartbeat along with the Cooperstown Community Band concert which she also seemed to enjoy.
Of course, when the time came, we were indeed sorry to see our visitors depart for, as The Widge told us repeatedly, the ocean. Thus they took off for Martha's Vineyard to visit the maternal grandparents while we collapsed from sheer exhaustion. We discovered that keeping up with a 2½- year-old was not easy.

Albert Haynesworth, Darrelle Revis, Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill, Marshawn Lynch, Logan Mankins, and the list goes on and on. Everyday the headlines are dominated by these few individuals. Key word in that last sentence was individuals. Every single one of these players mentioned and some others not mentioned can play football, really good football in most cases. The type of football that we want to see here in Kansas City. After the jump I'm going to explain why each one of us Chiefs fans should be thankful for the players we have.
Let me start with the $100 million debacle that is Haynesworth. The guy gets a huge payday from the Redskins then immediately wants to start telling that organization how they are going to use him? Come on Haynesworth! Shut your mouth and get on the field. But wait, this morning now his agent and him are coming out and saying:
The two-time All Pro defensive tackle released a statement late Tuesday through Comcast SportsNet affirming his discontent with the team's new defensive scheme and declaring that he will "continue to work individually to prepare for training camp and the start of the 2010 season."
Objecting to new 3-4, Haynesworth will skip Redskins mandatory minicamp
Funny how they throw in the "two-time All Pro" label there. Like it really carries any weight at all when you follow it up with the word "individually" in the same sentence. We all know that Albert just wants the sacks and personal glory of waking up Monday morning and watching himself on the highlight reels. What a shame, because what a "two-time All Pro" should be doing is leading the defense. Taking his 1/10th of a billion and shutting his mouth and doing whatever that organization tells him to do!
Next you have Darrelle Revis in New York. Who knows what is going on with this guy. Apparently he was dehydrated, then a hamstring, and then some blood work. We all know he is in the middle of a contract battle. But its this sentence here that gets me thinking:
"The hamstring," Revis said, "I kind of exaggerated that and went on with it."
Does Revis deserve a payday? That is up to the Jets franchise to figure out. Are they going to eventually shell out the money to make him happy, well you would think so in that kind of market. He does go on to say good things about the Jets and how he wants to be one forever, how he never wants to get traded, released, or cut but do you think he would be saying the same thing if he played for us? Or Detroit? Or St. Louis? I doubt it. I highly doubt it. I could guarantee that he would be up in arms trying to get out of here to some place that is going to give him his huge payday.
Ultimately Revis needs to stop with the games and get down to business. Get in camp and continue to "earn" your payday. He's going to get it but if one thing is going to stand in his way, that one thing is going to be him.
All of these players I have mentioned are great football players. I think in Buffalo Marshawn Lynch kind of understands the situation, and more than likely will get traded. He has made some good comments about missing football and missing his teammates which is something you want to see. But you really dont want to see this:
"I like to play football, whether it's here or whether it's somewhere else," Lynch said. "As long as I get to play football, I'm feeling great."
For some reason I can understand where Lynch is coming from. The Bills drafted C.J. Spiller and have Fred Jackson. The guy wants to play football and he wants to start. But what is wrong with keeping your mouth shut and just taking the starting job from both of them? Does he want to be traded to a team where he is going to automatically get the starting reps well of course, but in my opinion if you are so confident of yourself then you should just go out there and take the starting job, once again no one is holding him back but himself.
Overall I really think we should be thankful. Yes our organization is in a rebuilding mode. We only won 4 games last year and honestly no one can predict any amount of wins for us next year. But one thing I am thankful for is our players. The Chiefs are coming together as a team.
I can't speak from experiance having no children but one thing my old man said to me before I went back to Iraq was "it was a priviledge to watch you grow everyday of your life". Luckily we are watching our team grow every single day. While other franchises have guys out dancing with the stars, attending Adrian Peterson Day, and publically demanding a trade or sitting like Patriots guard Logan Mankins and the Chargers Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill our guys got a day off because of near perfect attendance.
This is where Jarrad Page comes in. Some will call me a homer or that I have "Chiefs blinders on" but I really dont see the Page situation as being that big of a deal. He hasn't been tearing up Twitter belittling the Chiefs, he hasn't publically demanded anything. Other than being reported missing from camp and yet to sign his tender Jarrad Page has almost fell off the earth and this is not a bad thing.
In the end, until I hear what Page and the Chiefs have to say about the entire situation I am just thankful it hasn't turned into a media battle. Im thankful that Page has remained silent and I still remain confident he will be on our team next year. We will find out the truth in the coming weeks about the whole situation and then can go from there.
Lets all just sit back, be thankful, and watch our team grow and get better every single day, while the other teams around us deal with nonsense.

Belief that God communicates to people through signs in natural events is popular in American Christianity, but only a minority seem to really accept it. According to a 2011 PRRI poll, 16% completely agree and 22% mostly agree that God uses disasters like earthquakes and floods as signs for humans. A majority, 51%, disagree that God uses disasters as signs.
The Public Religion Research Institute and the Religion News Service conducted a survey on Americans' views about God in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. When asked how much they agree or disagree with the statement "Earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters are a sign from God," people responded:
Completely Agree: 16% Mostly Agree: 22% Mostly Disagree: 22% Completely Disagree: 29% Don't Know / Refused: 2%
The idea that God communicates to humans through "signs" in nature should be pretty common, but the belief that God uses natural disasters as signs is only accepted by a minority. Why is that? Belief that natural disasters are signs from God can be found not only in the Bible but throughout Christian history. It's a belief with a strong pedigree. Are Americans just reluctant to accept this belief because of the moral implications?
This survey was by the Public Religion Research Institute and was done with phone interviews of 1,008 adults between March 17 and March 20, 2011. The margin of error is +/- 3%.

Brian Kelly met with the meeting on Monday after day eight of fall camp and Notre Dame's head coach talked about a number of key positions including safety, wide receiver, right guard, and tight end.
Here are some notes from Kelly's media session along with the full video below.
- Nicky Baratti dislocated his shoulder in practice on Saturday and will miss the 2013 season after having season ending surgery. Kelly mentioned that they will look to get the year of eligibility back.
- With Baratti out, Kelly talked about the depth at safety stating that Max Redfield, Eliar Hardy, and John Turner all have played well in camp so far. He also mentioned that Austin Collinsworth was in the mix as well before Baratti's injury.
- On Shumate, Kelly said he was a very sound tackler and that he has been doing a good job understanding the defense but that he has room for improvement in that department. On Collinsworth, Kelly said that his health has allowed him to do all of the things needed to do – something he couldn't do int he spring coming back from injury.
- On Max Redfield, Kelly praised his natural skills but said that he has work to do in understanding the defense and that the depth the Irish have at safety won't force the staff to play him before he is fully ready.
- Kelly spoke glowingly of TJ Jones calling the senior wide receiver a dynamic, go-to receiver for the Irish offense and stated that they have much more balance in the receiving corps around him than they did for Michael Floyd two years ago or Tyler Eifert last year.
- In talking about the right side of the line and Christian Lombard specifically, Kelly said that his size allows him to play both inside and on the edge. He also stated that where Lombard plays ins't as important as finding the best group of five guys along the offensive line. The depth chart is far from set at the line right now based on Kelly's comments.
- Kelly said that Nick Martin has held his own against Louis Nix and that has allowed him to show the staff what he is capable of doing. He praised Martin's maturity as well saying he doesn't look or act like a first time starter.
- Notre Dame has been focusing on the red-zone offense so far and it has been better than they expected it to be at this point in fall camp. Kelly praised Rees's experience and ball protection in the red-zone so far in camp.
- At tight end, Kelly said he doesn't think they can afford to lose a tight end because the two freshman – Mike Heuerman and Durham Smythe – are not physically ready to play.
- There isn't competition for the #2 cornerback spot – it is Keivarae Russell's job right now.
- There is a clear pecking order at quarterback – 1) Tommy Rees 2) Andrew Hendrix 3) Malik Zaire. He also said that if Hendrix is capable of helping Notre Dame win games, he will not be hesitant to put him in the game. That isn't the case right now because Tommy Rees has been better, but if there is a time and place where Hendrix can help them win games, he'll play.
- Troy Niklas is getting more comfortable in the passing game and his accomplishments and performance is starting to live up to his impressive stature. Kelly praised Niklas's play in the red-zone so far this camp.
- Kelly spoke very glowingly of Sheldon Day and said that he is as impressive of a player as Notre Dame has on defense. He praised his work volume and motor stating that if there would be an eight play drive in a game, he is the one defensive lineman that wouldn't come out of the game.

" . . . if Hendrix is capable of helping Notre Dame win games, he (BK) will not be hesitant to put him in the game. That isn't the case right now because Tommy Rees has been better, but if there is a time and place where Hendrix can help them win games, he'll play. . . " BK
As if a voice from above has been answered . . .
Now that's what I'm talking about- with a package of plays for Malik as well-
a virtual triple-headed monster for foe to prepare to defend against each week,
with only a week to prepare to defend!
Especially against early season opponents who haven't even seen the triple-headed O-monster . . .
Could we even see both #1′s (not at the same time, of course) as added armor
to the triple-headed O-monster ?
Answers forthcoming!

The guy has been at the school for 4 yrs and never been a place where Kelly thought he could help win games 2 yrs ago up 40+ vs Navy and still would not pull Rees to give the kid a go. He is a pre med student who Kelly still says does not have a grasp of the WHOLE playbook that TR does. Guy is a "genius" academically but cannot grasp the X's and O's of Kelly's playbook after 4 yrs. Hard to figure that one out. Kid has thrown 2 interceptions in his career and still is "labelled" with a tag of cannot throw into coverage. I would love to see him play 5 full games as a starter to see whether he can play or not. Instead after 4 yrs all we get is he has not "mastered" the playbook Go figure.

Imagine if Sheldon Day is actually that good. That would be scary.
Toulmin H. Brown commented on August 12th, 2013 at 11:30 pm
Kyle M commented on August 12th, 2013 at 11:51 pm
We finally have a depth chart. This is reason for optimism this year.
Pat commented on August 13th, 2013 at 2:11 pm
Good point d train. He should know the offense, maybe he just isn't that good.
jimmy coffey commented on August 13th, 2013 at 4:05 pm
im ok with reese starting,but in college football now-a-days u got to think about everything u can do to win games and if it means doin 2 qb's a game or 3 so be it,i know malik may not be ready yet but neither was reese when he went in for chryst that year.dont care if u have to play true freshman or not its all about tryin to win the game no matter what.
Woody O'Hardy commented on August 13th, 2013 at 11:05 pm
The guy I want to see is Prosise. He looked really good in Spring. I think he could be a weapon. I hope he gets the ball. Go CJ!

Some excellent analysis in a series from 82games.com:
NBA Player Development "Mini-Series" (2/13)
Building a team through the draft would seem to require making smart picks, and then making smart choices to help the player develop to his full potential. How good a job are NBA teams doing in this regard?
Part I -- Expected Performance by Draft Pick Number
Part II -- Best/Worst Drafting Teams
Part III -- Best/Worst value picks
Part IV -- Performance of NBA drafted players by College
Part V -- Which College Conferences Deliver?
Part VI -- Draft Performance by Year
Part VII -- Coach player development stats (upcoming)
Part VIII -- A new model for player development
Part IX -- Player Reclamation Projects
Where the blazes are after the jump:
Expected Performance by Draft Pick
- Picks 1-5 have high ratings and most likely to become stars, declining substantially 6-10. 11-20 is a crapshoot. But seriously, there are so many examples of busts (Tractor) and diamonds in the rough (Ginoboli). Stockpiling the draft picks at least gives you a higher chance a few may pan out.
Best/Worst Drafting Teams
Portland - in the bottom 25%, might be due to Oden. Top 5 Milwaukee, Phoenix, Lakers, Spurs, Cleveland (er, Lebron).
Draft Performance by Year
Portland actually did really well in 2006 considering how bad the rest of the draft did. Snagged two of the 3 all-stars in the draft. (Rondo would have been nice last couple of years).
- So, what does this tell us for this draft?

McDaniels plans crash course for Rams' offense
Must Read article: Good Stuff! "What are we going to try to do each week?" McDaniels said. "We're going to try to score points the best way we can. McDaniels said his offensive philosophy is to use every part of the field — be it short, intermediate or deep in the passing game. And he likes to mold his scheme around the individual talent he has. For example, the package of plays for Danario Alexander will be different from the package of plays that may feature Danny Amendola.

VERMILLION, S.D. – South Dakota assistant women's basketball coach Ryan Larsen was named head women's basketball coach for South Dakota School of Mines and Technology during a press conference Wednesday. He will start his duties immediately.
Larsen spent the last five seasons with the USD women's basketball team, helping guide the Coyotes to a 95-63 record and three straight postseason appearances. He will replace Barb Felderman, who coached the Lady Hardrockers for 32 seasons.
"I'd like to thank the entire USD community for five great years both professionally and personally," Larsen said in a statement. "A special thanks to all the athletes that I have coached, you have made every day enjoyable and memorable.
"South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is one of the few places I would leave USD for and I'm extremely excited for the opportunity to be the head coach of the Lady Hardrockers."
Before coaching at USD, Larsen graduated from Minnesota State-Moorhead in 2002 and was a member of the Augustana men's basketball staff from 2002 through 2007. He will coach against USD when the Coyotes play the Lady Hardrockers at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City on Dec. 7.
"Ryan will be missed among the staff, student athletes and community at USD, but we could not be more excited for him achieving his dream of becoming a head coach," said USD head coach Amy Williams. "School of Mines is fortunate to get a coach of Ryan's character and knowledge, and we wish both Ryan and the Lady Hardrockers the best of luck."
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is an NCAA Division II independent program.

Trial of Nick Adenhart's (alleged) Killer Postponed
Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey set Sept. 1 as the new trial date. The trial was originally scheduled to begin Monday. Andrew Thomas Gallo's attorney, Jacqueline Goodman and Deputy District Attorney Susan Price will present pretrial motions, beginning Sept. 1, with jury selection expected to start Sept. 7, Goodman said. Opening statements could begin Sept. 13, Goodman added. Goodman said she will ask Toohey at an Aug. 13 hearing to dismiss the three counts of murder against him in the grand jury indictment. Goodman contends that gross vehicular manslaughter charges would be more appropriate. "My client had a designated driver who was driving him around all day and night" before the deadly collision, Goodman said. "I just don't get the murder part. Tell me where there's a murder."

2 dead, 3 critical after bus crash at Miami International Airport Saturday morning
Bus was heading to West Palm Beach
MIAMI, Fla. - A private bus headed toward West Palm Beach hit an overpass at the entrance of Miami International Airport, killing two people and injured dozens of passengers, according to airport officials.
Authorities identified the two men killed in the bus crash as Serafin Castillo, 86, and Francisco Urana, 56.
The body of one deceased passenger was pulled from the bus late Saturday morning while a second person died after being taken to a hospital, Miami-Dade police confirmed.
The other passangers aboard the bus were transported to local area hospitals, according to police.
Airport spokesman Greg Chin said the bus hit the overpass going into the airport's arrivals section on Saturday morning.
Ramon Ferriero, 47, the driver of the bus, apparently took a wrong route during a trip, which excluded the airport as a destination, according to Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Lt. Rosanna Cordero-Stutz.
"A Jehovah Witness group headed toward West Palm Beach was aboard the bus," said airport spokesman Greg Chin.
The driver, interviewed by investigators, indicated being unfamiliar with the airport, officials said. The driver apparently misjudged the height of the overpass in the single-vehicle crash, officials said.
The bus was going about 20 mph when it hit the overpass in the arrivals section of the airport, Chin said.
The bus was privately owned and typically used for tours, though police believe all the passengers were local residents, not tourists, police said.
Associated Press and WTVJ contributed to this story.

Our first reaction to this news was disbelief.
Why would Yelp's investors allow Jeremy to turn down a $550 million deal when the company's revenues are only in the tens of millions of dollars?
But our source tells us investors are the ones most opposed to selling.
Separately, we've also heard Microsoft took Yelp's temperature and found it cold.
Heads up! A Google deal could still happen. Yelp and its investors may be playing hard to get hoping to drive Google's price yet higher. Certainly, we've all seen that the company is willing to shell out big cash when it needs to. (See: $750 million for AdMob.)

I managed to score a pair of tickets in the bullpen for the game this weekend. I'm pretty damn stoked. I'm flying in from the east coast on the early morning flight Saturday. I get to Hobby at 10am and will probably head right to Reliant. I'd love the opportunity to meet as many BRB regulars as possible, so if any of BRB tailgating groups would be willing to take me in it would make the trip that much more worth it for me. I can reimburse for any food/alcohol I consume. I don't think I will have time to get a car, so I will probably just take the metro in. Do I need one of those stupid tailgating passes? They didn't exist the last time I tailgated.
Also if there will be any official BRB after parties, win or lose, I'd love to get in on that.

Howzat for generosity!
12:49pm Tuesday 30th October 2012 in Hampshire Cricket By Simon Walter, Senior Sports Reporter
HAMPSHIRE chairman Rod Bransgrove has spent more than £10m on ensuring the county's exciting future – and may not get it all back.
Bransgrove revealed the extent of his financial commitment to Rose Bowl plc as he announced he will step down as chief executive on December 1, having combined both roles for the last 12 years.
After confirming he will continue as chairman, Bransgrove said he has spent "well in excess of £10m" ensuring Hampshire's continued viability.
"It's going to be very difficult to wrest me away from the business entirely, I've got a lot of personal interest wrapped up in it, it's become very much a part of me over the last dozen years or so," he said.
"But I refute absolutely that I'm in this for the money, in any way.
"That's a ridiculous assertion, it simply doesn't take account of anything I've done here at all – including 12 years unpaid.
"I participated in the last fundraising to quite a considerable extent, so I'm fully financially committed to the Ageas Bowl and don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.
"I wouldn't say I'm not going to get any of it back at any point but it's not something that's at the forefront of my radar at the moment."

In a surprise move that shocked the Olympic community, the International Olympic Committee voted Tuesday to drop wrestling for the 2020 Games.
The IOC's 15-member executive board voted via several rounds of a secret ballot in Lausanne, Switzerland, to eliminate the sport that has roots in ancient Greece and has been part of every modern Olympic Games since 1896 in Athens.
"USA Wrestling is surprised and disappointed about today's announcement concerning the International Olympic Committee Executive Board's recommendation that wrestling not be a core sport included in the 2020 Olympic Games," Executive Director Rich Bender of Colorado Spings-based USA Wrestling said in a statement. "Wrestling is one of the sports of the original Greek Olympic Games and in the first modern Olympic Games. It is one of the most diverse sports in the world, with nearly 200 nations from all continents participating in wrestling.
"It is an inclusive sport which provides opportunities worldwide, regardless of geography, race, gender or physical characteristics."
No country has won more Olympic medals in wrestling than the United States, with U.S. athletes claiming 50 golds and 125 overall. In the 2012 Games in London, 344 athletes competed in 11 medal events in freestyle wrestling and seven in Greco-Roman, according to The Associated Press.
Rulon Gardner, who trained in Colorado Springs, pulled probably the biggest upset in Olympic wrestling history when he defeated undefeated Russia Alexander Karelin in the Greco-Roman super heavyweight final in the 2000 Sydney Games. Coronado High School graduate Henry Cejudo is the youngest American to capture a wrestling gold medal at 21 when he won at freestyle in Beijing in 2008.
The move also puzzled U.S. Olympic Committee officials.
"We knew that today would be a tough day for American athletes competing in whatever sport was identified by the IOC Executive Board," USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said in a statement. "Given the history and tradition of wrestling, and its popularity and universality, we were surprised when the decision was announced. It is important to remember that today's action is a recommendation, and we hope that there will be a meaningful opportunity to discuss the important role that wrestling plays in the sports landscape both in the United States and around the world.
"In the meantime, we will fully support USA Wrestling and its athletes."
According to officials familiar with the vote, who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity, wrestling, modern pentathlon, taekwondo and field hockey were the four sports up for elimination. Modern pentathlon — whose national governing body is also headquartered in Colorado Springs — survived the vote despite being considered the sport most vulnerable.
"We're excited, but I feel bad for wrestling," Modern Pentathlon Managing Director Rob Stull said. "I have a lot of good friends in wrestling and in the movement in general. It's disappointing for anybody, and I'm sure they'd feel the same way if the shoe was on the other foot.
"I think wrestling has a chance of reversing its fortunes, and this may just be a cloud passing in front of the sun."
The vote is only a recommendation that will be finalized at the IOC Executive Board's September meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A commission report designed to evaluate each sport named 39 criteria — including television ratings, ticket sales, global participation and popularity — used to evaluate each sport that was at risk.
"This is a process of renewing and renovating the program for the Olympics," IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. "In the view of the executive board, this was the best program for the Olympic Games in 2020. It's not a case of what's wrong with wrestling, it is what's right with the 25 core sports."
The last sports to be eliminated were baseball and softball, dropped for the 2008 Beijing Games, with golf and rugby being added for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. The IOC's executive board will meet in May in St. Petersburg, Russia, to discuss which sport or sports to add for the 2020 Games.
Jim Scherr, former head of the USOC who finished fifth as a heavyweight wrestler in the 1988 Seoul Games, was also saddened by the IOC's decision.
"It was surprising and shocking — not because we didn't think wrestling was in the consideration like all sports were — but because of its popularity and international appeal and the fact that it is extremely inclusive worldwide," said Scherr, who is serving as commissioner of the Colorado Springs-based National Collegiate Hockey Conference. "Obviously, there's still some hope that wrestling can be re-included in the program through the process that culminates in September, but it's a difficult and uphill challenge at this point."
News of the decision sent a ripple of activity through the Internet, with more than 6,000 people commenting on the Yahoo Sports feature about the news. USA Wrestling has established a "Keep Wrestling in the Olympics" Facebook page to support what will be continued efforts to appeal to the IOC's decision-makers, and it has already received more than 16,000 "likes."
"We look forward to telling the story about wrestling to the International Committee leadership and the entire world about our great sport and why it should be part of the Olympic movement forever," Bender said. "USA Wrestling pledges to be a leader in the international effort to ensure that wrestling remains on the Olympic program. As we continue our leadership in expanding wrestling within our nation, we also will place our full resources and energy behind supporting wrestling on the international level."
Previously considered under the closest scrutiny was modern pentathlon, which has been on the Olympic program since the 1912 Stockholm Games. It was created by French baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, and combines fencing, horse riding, swimming, running and shooting.
Klaus Schormann, president of governing body UIPM, lobbied hard to protect his sport's Olympic status and it paid off in the end.
"We have promised things and we have delivered," he said after Tuesday's decision. "That gives me a great feeling. It also gives me new energy to develop our sport further and never give up."
Modern pentathlon also benefited from the work of Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., the son of the former IOC president who is a UIPM vice president and member of the IOC board.
"We were considered weak in some of the scores in the program commission report but strong in others," Samaranch told the AP. "We played our cards to the best of our ability and stressed the positives. Tradition is one of our strongest assets, but we are also a multi-sport discipline that produces very complete people."
The Associated Press contributed the pentathlon short

PNB to raise Rs 1,000 cr
Our Bureau
MR S.C. GUPTA, Chairman and Managing Director, Punjab National Bank, addressing a press conference in Mumbai on Thursday. Paul Noronha
Mumbai , Aug. 24
Punjab National Bank is planning to raise Rs 1,000 crore worth capital through upper and lower tier II bonds this fiscal to augment its capital base. Addressing reporters in Mumbai, Mr S.C. Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, PNB, said the bank has already raised Rs 884 crore through Tier II bonds in the first quarter.
The bank has set a target 18-20 per cent growth in deposit and credit for 2006-07 and has achieved 30 per cent of the business by July 2006, he said.
"The strong credit growth in 2005-06 was repeated in the first quarter of this fiscal," Mr Gupta said.
The bank also retired about Rs 4,000-5,000 crore of high cost deposits in the first quarter and substituted it with low cost deposit.
PNB has also insulated its treasury profits by shifting Rs 6,200 crore worth securities from Available for Sale to Held to Maturity in the first quarter. Mr Gupta said that if the current yield levels remain, by September there will no depreciation of the securities portfolio.
According to Mr Gupta, the next three to six months could see slight easing of yields.
Subsidiaries abroad
The bank has got Reserve Bank of India's approval for a wholly owned subsidiary in London and a subsidiary in Canada called "PNB Canada" and is waiting for approval from the regulators from the respective countries. Apart from these, PNB has also filed applications for an offshore banking unit in Singapore and a branch in Hong Kong.
"By 2007, all these four centres will be ready. The capital required is not more than Rs 400-500 crore and we have adequate capital," Mr Gupta said.
The bank also has plans to open branches in Pakistan, for which it has approached the RBI for approval, he said.
PNB is also looking to set up a life insurance joint venture in which it will have 26 per cent stake. The other partners in the ventures will be Principal Insurance, Vijaya Bank and UK Paints (formerly Berger Paints). The venture is waiting approval from the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority.

Supreme Court
Ex-SEC Chairs Back Investor Suit
Posted Jul 17, 2007 10:48 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Two former chairmen of the Securities and Exchange Commission want to file a late brief in a U.S. Supreme Court case seeking to hold third parties accountable for corporate accounting fraud.
Former SEC chairs William Donaldson and Arthur Levitt are among a group that asked for the extension yesterday, the Washington Post reports. They support the investor lawsuit.
"Holding liable wrongdoers who actively engage in fraudulent contact that lacks a legitimate business purpose does not hinder, but rather enhances, the integrity of our markets and our economy," their lawyers wrote in their application to file a brief.
The U.S. Solicitor General had turned down an SEC request to file a brief supporting investors in the case, Stoneridge Investment Partners v. Scientific-Atlanta Inc. (See this ABAJournal.com post for more details.)

Albany - - It's time to stock up on school supplies and if you're waiting for the sales tax holiday, well, it's the weekend after school starts in Dougherty County. While you don't really save a lot of money by avoiding the tax on school supplies, every little bit helps.
Public schools in Dougherty County open next Wednesday, August 2nd. That means only one more weekend to get back-to-school items purchased. And a lot of shoppers aren't waiting for the tax free holiday to get their shopping done.
Pens, pencils, and paper.... and don't forget the bookbags.
"What kind of book bag do you want? This one. What kind is it? Superman," Kelly Shiver interacts with her son getting ready for the first grade. She's not waiting to the last minute.
"Not really. I'd rather go ahead and get it over with before it gets too hectic."
Whether your student is in first grade or college, he'll need school supplies soon.
"I'm shopping for my daughter in college some back to school items and also my daughter that's at Westover. I have some pencils for her and we've already shopped early for the paper supplies for her. So you're just about done with the back to school shopping. Thats correct," says shopper Deborah Toson.
To help take the hassle out of back to school shopping, Target is one of many stores now offering school supply lists.
"We've had a lot of parents ask, some call before they come and we let them know that we do have them available," says Amy Clark of Target.
People like Deon Hill are checking every item on the list.
"Ive got some pencils, rulers, colored pencils, and scissors."
From her experience, you have to do it early.
"I see that if you buy early, you won't have the wait and get the last of it. Because if you wait for the last, you won't get nothing at all or you wont find what youre looking for."
Tax free or not, they're just getting this out of the way.
"Mom, is this a 1st grade bag? Yep, 1st grade," Shiver tells her son.
If you aren't an early bird when it comes to back to school shopping, then you may want to cash in on Georgia's tax free holiday just be prepared to deal with longer lines.
The sales tax holiday runs from August 3rd through August 6th.

|Scinic Snail Matrix Cream Review
This has been a cream I've been using for the past 2 months and I nearly finished it so I feel like I can finally do a proper review of this product. This cream was a love/hate cream for me, which I'll later explain why.
The texture of this cream is legit like snail slime. What you see in the promo picture is what it is in real life. This cream is supposed to have 5% snail mucus in it. Snail mucus is known for it's healing/softening/brightening properties, so it's a really popular ingredient in skincare products. The cream feels very tacky, heavy, and sticky, which didn't bother me because I've tried snail products before and all of them have that slight sticky feeling due to the snail mucus. Haha, this cream looks and has a very suggestive texture lol!
So my skin type is dry/combination in the winter and oily/combination in the summer. My god, this winter my skin was so dry and cracked like a desert, so I was looking for a new moisturizer that would help soothe my flaky skin. If you're wondering where I bought this cream, I went on ebay and bought it there. Anywho, why I first loved this cream so much was that it was really helping my skin from dryness and I would wake up with super soft plump skin. But I noticed that after a few weeks my pores started getting SUPER clogged and I started getting whiteheads, blackheads, cystic acne, you name it! (FYI I have very acne-prone skin) I honestly didn't think it was this cream that was breaking me out, because at first my skin was fine with it. I just thought it was my misfortune to have really bad skin. A couple days ago I decided to try my new Kiehl's cream and instantaneously my acne started getting better and my pores are getting less clogged. So now I know for a fact it was the Scinic cream that was breaking me out. I feel so sad that I suffered for 2 months because I didn't want to believe that the snail cream was making my skin worse.... now I'm left with acne scars to remind myself to give up a product if it's not good~~ I just hate wasting product since I feel like it's wasting money T_T.
Also, I'd like to mention I only used this cream at night... I wouldn't dream of using this in the morning considering how extremely shiny it makes you look. I love dewy skin, but this cream makes it look like a 100 snails had excreted all over your face. So that's why I only used this at night when nobody could see me haha.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this cream to people who are prone to getting acne. I've read other reviews where people loved this product so it really depends on your skin type. I feel like this cream is best for people who have very dry skin and doesn't get acne, but honestly I've tried much better creams on the market so I would skip on this one. My next post will be on an Innisfree cream, which I have been LOVING!~~ It's suitable for all skin types too so look out for that!

Foreign Relations Sweep at the Fed
William F. Jasper, The New American
The rumors have been confirmed; President Obama's plan to name Stanley Fischer as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve was made official on January 10. At the same time he announced Fischer's appointment, the president also named Lael Brainard and Jerome Powell to positions as governors on the seven-member Federal Reserve Board. Fed Chairman Janet Yellen and Vice Chairman Fischer also serve as governors.
Unremarked in any of the media coverage of the appointments is the significant fact that all four of these Obama nominations to one of the most powerful institutions on the planet are not only members, but high-level operatives, of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the premier US "think tank" promoting world government for the past century.
Federal Reserve Board Governor Daniel Tarullo is also a CFR member. As we reported on December 29, Stanley Fischer was named this past September to be a "distinguished fellow" in residence at Pratt House, the CFR's New York City headquarters. In that same article, we noted that "many additional CFR members and officers have rotated in and out of top positions at the Fed, Treasury, and the big Wall Street firms, such as former Fed Chairmen Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan, as well as current Federal Reserve Regional Bank Presidents William Dudley (New York City), Dennis P. Lockhart (Atlanta), Richard W. Fisher (Dallas), and current Federal Reserve Board of Governors members Daniel K. Tarullo, Jerome H. Powell ... and Janet Yellen."
And we might have added that this curious Pratt House influence extends back over the past century to the founding era of the Fed, to such top Wall Street Insiders as Paul Warburg, who was the chief architect of, and propagandist for, the Federal Reserve act, and one of the founding directors of the CFR.
Warburg's CFR confreres who have served as Fed chairmen include Eugene Meyer (1930-1933), Eugene Black (1933-1934), Thomas B. McCabe (1948-1951), William McChesney Martin (1951-1970), Arthur F. Burns (1970-1978), G. William Miller (1978-1979), and -- as we've already noted -- Paul A. Volcker (1979-1987), and Alan Greenspan (1987-2006). The departing Ben Bernanke broke the string by not formally being a CFR member, but that is a mere formality; he will likely join at some the near future. The important point is that he was always clearly simpatico with the CFR agenda of a central bank that is controlled by the big Wall Street banks, operating in complete secrecy, unaccountable, and above the law. Moreover, Bernanke has appeared on CFR speaker programs and benefited enormously from favorable coverage from CFR-dominated MSM commentariat.
In his announcement of the Fischer, Brainard, Powell nominations, President Obama stated:
These three distinguished individuals have the proven experience, judgment and deep knowledge of the financial system to serve at the Federal Reserve during this important time for our economy. Stanley Fischer brings decades of leadership and expertise from various roles, including serving at the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of Israel. He is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading and most experienced economic policy minds and I'm grateful he has agreed to take on this new role and I am confident that he and Janet Yellen will make a great team. Lael Brainard has served as one of my top and most trusted international economic advisors during a challenging time not just at home, but for our global economy as well, and her knowledge of international monetary and economic issues will be an important addition to the Fed. I'm also thankful that Jerome Powell, who has proven to be an effective and wise voice at the Fed, has agreed to serve a second term. I'm confident that these individuals will serve their country well.
Serve their country well? Or, rather, serve their CFR/Wall Street banking cohorts well? President Obama did not explain the source of his confidence, but many Americans undoubtedly share the concerns of Senators Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and others, who objected to the Yellen nomination and the Fed's secrecy, especially concerning the trillions of dollars these Fed operatives are handing out to their cronies in banks all over the world.
In all of the gushing, fawning coverage of Fischer's nomination, did any of the MSM pundits bother to point out that Fischer may have played a significant direct role in bringing about the mortgage crisis while he was vice chairman at Citigroup (which is a CFR President's Circle Corporate Member), or that there still lingers a terrible stench of the colossal conflict of interest over the $2.5 trillion Citi received under the Fed's loan/bailout programs -- the largest of any bank.
Perhaps somewhere out there in the MSM firmament some cub reporter or editorialist has dared to cast a damp blanket on the general media euphoria over the Fischer nomination by bringing up these inconvenient facts, but we haven't seen it. Typical of the media sock puppet sycophancy is the "superstar" rating given by CNN's Annalyn Kurtz on January 10:
A superstar in the economics field, the 70-year-old Fischer left a position as vice chairman of Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) in 2005 in order to head the Bank of Israel. He stepped down as the Bank of Israel chief earlier this year.
Fischer also taught future central bankers as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s, and his list of former students reads like a "Who's Who in Economics."
Current Fed chairman Ben Bernanke thanked Fischer in his doctoral thesis for his "advice and encouragement." European Central Bank president Mario Draghi was also among Fischer's students, as was former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Harvard economists Kenneth Rogoff and Greg Mankiw.
The party line being retailed by the CFR's media shills hasn't changed since Alan Greenspan's infamous "purposeful obfuscation"; members of Congress and the American public are supposed to be so dazzled and awestruck by the recondite utterances of the Fed "maestros" that we welcome them to continue their fraud and theft of trillions more from our pay checks, pensions, and savings accounts.
Will they get away with it? The answer to that question will decide the survival of our economy, our nation and our freedom.
