Relief pitcher Bobby Parnell and the New York Mets have avoided salary arbitration, agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.7 million.
The deal was completed Thursday.
Parnell has been a key member of New York's bullpen the past few years. He led the team with 74 appearances last season, going 5-4 with a 2.49 ERA and seven saves. The hard-throwing righty had 61 strikeouts and 20 walks in 68 2-3 innings.
Parnell made $504,000 last season, when he fell just short in service time of being eligible for arbitration. He's been effective as a setup man, but hasn't been able to lock down the closer job despite several opportunities with the Mets.
He was a 9th round pick of the Mets in the 2005 MLB Draft after his career at Charleston Southern.

|That ball is going, going, gone!
|Wednesday, September 18, 2013 2:15 PM
That ball is going, going, gone!
By Bill Sherry
Baseball was something I began liking as a small child and I liked it to the point that I began saving my paper route money to buy a baseball glove. Not just any glove, but a glove that was like the one worn by "Bullet Bob" Feller. I listened to Indians announcer "Jimmy" Dudley as Feller pitched his last game in 1956 and I knew that I wanted to play baseball and be pitcher "Bullet Bill'' Sherry. The closest I ever got to that dream was to catch a couple of throws from pitcher Doug Bair in a little league game in Oakwood a few years later.

This video trailer sent shivers down my spine. Would love to see this: There Once Was an Island: Te Henua e Nnoho.
Having worked a small stunt at lululemon athletica myself I found this article really interesting. Although I took some good things from the experience I knew very quickly the company just wasn't for me, and questioned the disconnect between their values and ethics.
How have I not heard of James Vincent McMorrow before? His voice is breathtaking and his songs are beautiful. Thanks to my darling Brad for introducing me to this gorgeous music.

The demand for the handset is still going up and there is no sign that the demand for it might have weakened. On the other hand there are signs that the HTC One's demand will go up substantially in the days to come with the latest Android 4.2.2 update launched for the handset.
The fact that HTC One was launched with rather old Android 4.1 OS was a sort of disappointment to many HTC fans. But this too didn't affect the demand for the handset as people thought that the promised updates will help them get over this disadvantage in the coming days. And thankfully this promised update has arrived. Though many people are expecting Android 4.3 update on their handsets, but others will completely be satisfied with Android 4.2.2 Android Jelly Bean update.
The good news for HTC One users is the fact that the Taiwanese tech giant has started releasing Android 4.2.2 Over-The-Air (OTA) update for HTC One. Reports suggest that in Europe it is being released via stock Android 4.2.2 official firmware with build number 2.24.401.8. another good news is the fact that this will also bring Sense 5.0 to the HTC One owners. In the meantime for outside Europe HTC One users, they can install Android 4.2.2 manually.

A healthy cats eyes should produce tears continuously. Tears keep the eyes most and nourish the cornea. The Cornea is the front part of the eye). The tears through a duct into the nose. A healthy cat's eyes should be bright, white, and clear.
Tears are made of water, mucus and fat. Over time some of the water evaporates and this leads to dried conglomeration of mucus and fat next to the eyes of your cat. Those so-called eye boogers develop in all cats, dogs and people over time. We people simple rub them away from our eyes, but cats don't have hands, so the dried mucus and fat build up if nothing is done to it. You can remove the debris gently with a moistened cotton ball.
Discharge Problems
Eye problems are terrible and can lead to serious problems. If you see your cat blinking a lot, pawing it's eyes, and or rubbing his eyes against the sofa and squinting a lot, it's a sign that something is up. If you neglect eye problems your cat can end up blind or needing a surgery. Always talk to your vet when you notice irritation in your cats eyes.
Reasons for Cat Discharge Are:
Feline Upper Respiratory Infections
A Frequent cause of eye discharge in cats, these can include viruses such as feline calcivirus, a contagious respiratory disease, Pneumonitis or rhinotracheitis, bacteria and protozoa. The symptoms can be mild or progress to something very serious and may include a sticky, pus-like eye discharge.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
An inflammation of the light pink lining around the eyes of your cat. Conjunctivitis can cause on or both of the eyes to look red and swollen, be light-sensitive and have clear, teary or thick mucous eye discharge.
Corneal Disorders
The cornea of your cat can become inflamed, injured or ulcerated. The signs may be cloudiness, excessive blinking, inflammation and increased tear production.
Epiphora (Water, tearing eyes)
Blocked tear ducts, an overproduction of tears, allergies, vital conjunctivitis and more can be the reason of the teary and watery eye of your cat.
inflammation of the iris and blood vessels of the eyes. Trauma, cancer, immune problems or infections can cause the serious and often painful inflammation of uveitis.
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (Dry eyes)
KS is a chronic lack of tear production. It can lead to an inflamed cornea, red eyes and if it is left untreated it can lead to blindness. Because the watery portion of tears is missing, the discharge can be yellow and gooey.
Other eye discharge causes include feline infectious peritonitis, allergies, something lodged in the eye, or third eyelid problems.
Do not neglect minor eye ailments. If there is any doubt about the diagnosis, and particularly if the eye has been treated at home but has not shown improvement in 24 hours, call your veterinarian. Eye problems can go from minor to serious in a very short time.
If you have medications left over from a previous eye problem, don't use them on your cat's eyes. Different eye issues means different medications.
The Treatment of the problems depends on the issue. If the cause is an allergy, then it can be treated with hydrocotisone medications. Bacterial infections of the eye can be treated with antibiotic medications and ointments.
Tips For Keeping The Eyes Clean
You can help your cat avoiding eye problems by checking their eyes often for redness, cloudiness, a change in color or shape, discharge of sensitivity to light.
Face your cat in a bright area and look her in the eyes. The eyes should be bright, clear, and the area around the eyeball should be white. Roll down your kitty's eyelid gently with your thumb and take a look at the lid's lining. It should be pink, not red or white.
What To Watch For
If you're looking your cat in the eye, checking for something unusual or when you think something is wrong with their eyes. Check for the following things…
- Discharge
- Watering
- Red or white eyelid linings
- Crusty gunk in the corners of the eye
- Tear-stained fur
- Closed eye(s)
- Cloudiness or change in eye color
- Visible third eyelid
If your cat is often squinting, blinking, pawing its eyes, or rubbing his eyes against things take a look at her eyes. If you see something from the above list, call your vet.
Cleaning The Eyes
- Dip a cotton ball in water.
- Wipe away the eye discharge; always wiping away from the corner of the eye.
- Use a fresh cotton ball for each eye.
- Steer clear of any over-the-counter drops or washes unless your vet has prescribed them.
Hiro has a lot of 'mucus' in his eyes. He has this even when he was only a little kitten. It makes Hiro, Hiro. So we often clean his eyes, and keep an eye out for anything unusual.
Does your cat has a lot of gooey eyes?
Go see Archie at Mythreemoggies where he talks about his eye boogers!

In 1995, the Seattle Mariners took the field wearing replica uniforms of a team called the Steelheads, and just a tiny percent of the people in the ballpark had any idea why.
The Steelheads had once played in a second-tier black baseball league, the West Coast Negro League. The May issue of Seattle Magazine features a fine article about the Steelheads, by Ryan Whirty:
Still, former Steelie Sherwood Brewer told The Seattle Times that the indignities were worth it. "I had a lot of fun," Brewer said, "and if I had to do it again, I'd start tomorrow."
Brewer, along with many of the other players honored that night, has since passed away. Today, 92-year-old Herb Simpson is believed to be the only remaining Steelhead.
Simpson's memory of his time in Seattle is fuzzy, and he doesn't reveal too many details about life with the Steelies. But his modest house in hometown New Orleans is stocked with memorabilia from his playing days, including his Steelheads jersey, which he shows to visitors with pride. He is one of the final ties to this bygone era.
The Steelheads, and for that matter the entire West Coast Negro League, were put together by Abe Saperstein, famous impresario of the Harlem Globetrotters. In one sense, Saperstein's timing was perfect; this was 1946, when war production had swelled the black populations in essentially every major Western seaport, and teams were placed in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. In another sense, Saperstein's timing was terrible; just a few months before, Jackie Robinson signed with the Dodgers -- well, technically with the Montreal Royals -- and the day Jackie signed, black baseball began to die.
In the event, the West Coast Negro League essentially lasted for only a couple of months, although the Steelheads continued for a time as purely a barnstorming outfit.
If you'll permit a quick editorial comment, I'll mention that not so long ago, I heard someone say that the black baseball leagues have been neglected, if not actually forgotten. To which my groaning shelves overloaded with books about the Negro Leagues and their players respond, "Groan."

Hello fellow Phin Fans! Love the site, been reading a while and really enjoy the discussions (most of them). By way of background, grew up in New England as a Dolphin fan (yes taking lots of heat from the family), lived in various locations and currently reside in the middle of 'Skins country.
Quite a bit on my mind and will try to not repeat the obvious here.
Obviously the season was disappointing on many fronts, but the bright spot is the defense. The FO, for their faults, has done a great job drafting quality guys on the D. I think the future is bright if they can hold on to this core and I am talking about Solai, Wake, Misi, Davis, Smith, Bell and R. Jones. Lots of speed, enthusiasm and willingness to improve. Hopefully Ross can retain Nolan as well or that will be a let down.
The offensive side is obviously full of holes. I didn't get to see many games in their entirety here (damn the Ravens and Skins) but the two noticeable things are 1) the offense has zero speed. Zero. RBs are strong, powerful, but not game changers, anymore. The WRs are talented but slow. Bess is a great slot, but let's be honest, he isn't challenging Bolt to any races. Marshall can catch, sometimes, but he,too, isn't outracing the speedier DBs to the endzone. Hartline has potential and I like what I see from Moore and Wallace. I just wish we had seen more of the latter 2 this year. 2) the OL is a disaster. Let's face it. Henne is not going to get any good reads downfield when he has less than 2 seconds to make a decision. Look at Brady or Sanchez. They have eons to pick apart the defense and find the open man. By the time Henne is set, even in the shotgun, he has 2 maybe 3 defenders bearing down on him. His only sight downfield is that of an opposing nose tackle's facemask about to become one with his. Manning, Brady, Sanchez - none of them would be in the playoffs this week with the Dolphins OL.. So let's hope that the FO, whoever they turn out to be, can find some quality draft picks and maybe a strong FA and develop a suitable OL. If we had an OL like the Jets or Pats, we would be in the playoffs today.
Finally, a word about Henne. Now, obviously, everyone is disappointed with him and his progress this year. There are a few supporters remaining and I for one believe this guy needs a fair shot under a quality OC and QB coach. Henning, Lee and even Pennington (yes CP10!) have failed this guy. They have shut this guy down so much that it will take an entire shakeout of the offensive philosophy to get him back to where he should be as a starter in his 3rd (4th) year. Also, rather than throwing him under the bus, Marshall should use his talents and experience to help the guy rather than ham it up with the proverbial 3rd stringer on the sideline
So, that's all for now. Feel better now. I hope to be back soon.
Now go back to watch the atrocious HC saga unfold!

The Denver Broncos came to town
One early November Day....
In arrowhead stadium, they stood
Inviting the Chiefs to play.....
It was a peculiar game, indeed
With rushing yards galore....
Winning the game by running the ball
the passing game, all but ignored..
They pushed forward, yard by yard
Man.. after man.. after man...
With McGahee hurt, and Knowshon too
Just what was Denver's plan?
Hand off the ball, run it again
Hand it off some more...
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Remember....a score's a score!
And just when you thought Timmy T.
Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...
He lets one loose, beautiful to behold
That's one amazing arm!!!
Mr. "4th Quarter" rallied the team
Like a well oiled machine....
Conventional? Hardly. Pretty? Not necessarily
But he kept alive the dream....
Not good enough to be a starter in the league?
Not our answer in the long run?
What more do they want from #15?
When he's the only one getting it done?
A rushing TD, A passing TD
Scrambling to a different beat....
Putting a fire and newfound desire
Into an offense dancing with defeat..
"Another ugly win", I've heard some say
On the Contrary, I thought we shined...
We dominated the Kansas City Chiefs
And powdered their behinds!!
How about that Defense? Killer!
Not the same from a few weeks ago...
Makes one wonder what they had for breakfast
Wouldn't you just love to know?
Today was not a Chief's day
No matter how you spell it...
Timmy was cooking, Our D was dishing
And all of Kansas City smelt it!!!
It wasn't about stats or looking good
Today was all about winning....
And for a kid who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn
I'd say, it was a pretty good beginning.

Cardinal John P. Foley, who spent more than two decades as President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, died Sunday, December 11, 2011, following a battle with leukemia. He was 76. Cardinal Foley retired in February, following the medical diagnosis, and returned home to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Ordained a priest in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in 1962, His Eminence had the opportunity to work in the field of communications as the assistant editor of the Philadelphia archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Standard and Times. He served as its editor-in-chief from 1970 to 1984. That year, Blessed Pope John Paul II elevated him to Archbishop and appointed him President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. He held that post until 2007, when Pope Benedict named him the Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and elevated him to the rank of Cardinal.
From 1984 until 2009, Cardinal Foley provided American viewers with commentary during the televised Christmas midnight Mass from St. Peter's Basilica.
"Cardinal Foley was one of the holiest priests I have ever met," said Bishop Michael F. Burbidge. "I was privileged to have the then Msgr. Foley as one of my professors of Philosophy in the Seminary. His priestly example was a tremendous source of inspiration for me and all the seminarians. I was also honored to be the deacon at the Mass in 1984 when he was ordained a Bishop."
Mr. Frank Morock, Diocesan Director of Communications, echoed Bishop Burbidge's comments. "I met Cardinal Foley in 1994. As President of the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals and a Board of Management member of SIGNIS, the international Catholic media organization, I had the privilege of meeting with the Cardinal many times. His devotion to Our Lord and to the Blessed Mother was obvious to all who spoke with him and listened to his homilies," Morock said.
In 2005, the Catholic Academy presented Cardinal Foley with its President's Medallion. In June 2011, at the annual Catholic Media Conference, the Catholic Academy Board of Directors presented Cardinal Foley with a special Gabriel Award for Lifetime Achievement. "This was the first Lifetime Achievement honor ever given in the more than 45 years of the Gabriel Awards," Morock said. "It's a strong indication of the high regard Catholic communicators in our country and throughout the world held for Cardinal Foley."
"Cardinal Foley was a dedicated, faithful and generous servant of the universal Church, and he effectively and joyfully taught, proclaimed and communicated the Good News," Bishop Burbidge said. "I ask all in the Diocese of Raleigh to join together in praying for his eternal peace and happiness,"

Underrated: "20 Years In The Game & He's Still As Nice As Every N*gga Now"
Thursday, Apr 5, 2012 12:05AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name who they feel is the most underrated emcee in hip-hop. After Sha Stimuli gave Masta Ace the title earlier this week, West Coast rapper Glasses Malone crowns E-40 SOHH Underrated.]
E-40 is at the top of my list. 20 years. 20 years in the game and he's still as nice as every n*gga now. We always say that. I've always been f*cking with E-40.
That motherf*cking E-40, he's so tough. I'm talking about right now. I know it's hard to just get into his style but when you hear that motherf*cker rip? That n*gga be on. That n*gga's spitting game and he's so slick with it.
Like I said, he's a grown a** man and even his son is getting down in the music industry. He's probably better than his son at rapping. His son is dope.
E's crazy. He's crazy and so is Busta Rhymes. I think Busta gets more props than 40 but still though, 40 is crazy. 40 is lyrically sound, he's always current.
I remember the first time I heard him when I was f*cking eight years-old back in '89. I'm like, "This dude's tough!" 40 is that n*gga. I can't even begin to say how underrated 40 is. He's just that real.
He's tough at rapping, he's dropping independent albums, doing real numbers, he gets a lot of money. Every show he does out here in Los Angeles is sold out and this is 20 years later. You can go anywhere on the coast and he's selling out shows.
He can tear down shows every night. He's hungry for it. He goes out every night and rips it. That motherf*cker's been in this game for 20-plus years.
Despite the fact he doesn't glorify the gangbanging lifestyle he once led, rejecting the common archetype of hardcore West Coast rappers, Watts/L.A. native Glasses Malone's explosive mixtape run placed him far ahead of the crop of "New West" MCs who emerged in the mid- to late 2000s. Malone actually grew up between the Watts and Compton neighborhoods in Los Angeles. His whole family was very deep in the illegal drug trade (his mother was convicted and sentenced to prison for 25 years). He eventually abandoned hustling drugs and gangbanging to fully pursue a music career.

|All Recent SEC Filings
Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Other Events, Fina
On August 1, 2013, Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (referred to herein as "we," "us," and "our") issued a news release announcing the disposition of ten manufactured home communities, the expected disposition of one manufactured home community and the acquisition of three manufactured home communities. We hereby revise previously issued guidance for our normalized funds from operations ("Normalized FFO") per share (fully diluted, adjusted for stock split) for the three months ending September 30, 2013 and year ending December 31, 2013, to be between $0.61 and $0.67 and $2.46 and $2.56, respectively.
We also hereby revise previously issued guidance for our funds from operations ("FFO") per share (fully diluted, adjusted for stock split) for the three months ending September 30, 2013 and year ending December 31, 2013, to be between $0.19 and $0.25 and $2.03 and $2.13, respectively.
We also hereby revise previously issued guidance for our net income per share (fully diluted, adjusted for stock split) for the three months ending September 30, 2013 and year ending December 31, 2013, to be between $0.32 and $0.38 and $1.20 and $1.30, respectively.
The projected 2013 per share amounts represent a range of possible outcomes and the mid-point of each range reflects management's best estimate of the most likely outcome. Actual figures could vary materially from these amounts if any of our assumptions is incorrect. The news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K. The news release was also posted on our website, www.equitylifestyle.com, on August 1, 2013.
The news release includes a reconciliation of Normalized FFO and FFO to Net Income, the nearest GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principals) measure. Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), is generally an appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and actual or estimated losses from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We receive up-front non-refundable payments from the entry of right-to-use contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the upfront non-refundable payments and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life. Although the NAREIT definition of FFO does not address the treatment of nonrefundable right-to-use payments, we believe that it is appropriate to adjust for the impact of the deferral activity in our calculation of FFO. Normalized Funds from Operations ("Normalized FFO") is a non-GAAP measure. We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding the following non-operating income and expense items: a) the financial impact of contingent consideration; b) gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs; c) property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions; and d) other miscellaneous non-comparable items. We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and actual or estimated gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt, property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions and the change in fair value of our contingent consideration asset from Normalized FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items. Investors should review FFO and Normalized FFO along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT's operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition
differently than we do. Normalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
The information contained in this report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Disposition of Michigan Properties
On May 8, 2013, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell 11 manufactured home communities located in Michigan (the "Michigan Properties") collectively containing approximately 5,344 sites for a net purchase price of approximately $165.0 million. We closed on ten of the Michigan Properties on July 23, 2013, and expect to close on the eleventh Michigan Property during the third quarter of 2013. We expect to recognize a gain on sale of real estate assets of approximately $41.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. The closing of the disposition of the remaining Michigan Property is subject to customary closing conditions and no assurances can be given that the disposition will be completed in accordance with the anticipated timing or at all.
The following table sets forth the Properties held for disposition as of June
30, 2013:
Property Location Sites Avon on the Lake Rochester Hills, MI 616 Cranberry Lake White Lake, MI 328 Fairchild Lake Chesterfield, MI 344 Ferrand Estates (a) Wyoming, MI 419 Grand Blanc Crossing Grand Blanc, MI 478 Holly Hills Holly, MI 241 Oakland Glens Novi, MI 724 Old Orchard Davison, MI 200 Royal Estates Kalamazoo, MI 183 Westbrook Macomb, MI 387 Westbridge Manor Macomb, MI 1,424 Total 5,344 ___________________________________________
Purchase of Riverside Properties
On July 19, 2013, our Operating Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with certain affiliates of Riverside Communities to acquire three manufactured home communities located in the Chicago metropolitan area collectively containing approximately 1,207 sites for a stated purchase price of $102.0 million (the "Acquisition"). We closed on the Acquisition on August 1, 2013 and funded the purchase price with available cash and limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. These high quality assets are approximately 94% occupied and less than 3% of occupancy consists of rental homes.
Patrick Waite, our Senior Vice President of Operations, was formerly employed by an affiliate of Riverside Communities, as a result of which he has financial interests in the sale that will result in his receiving approximately $3.4 million in cash upon the closing of the Acquisition. Mr. Waite did not participate in our management's analysis, decision-making or recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to the Acquisition. In addition, David Helfand, the founder and CEO of Riverside Communities, served before 2005 in various positions with us, including at various times as our Chief Financial Officer, Chief
Executive Officer, and as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Helfand is currently Co-President of Equity Group Investments, L.L.C., an entity affiliated with Sam Zell, Chairman of our Board of Directors.

4.33/5 rDev +8.5%
Pours golden. Head disappears fairly quickly; leaves good lacing.
Smell: Fruity but not like an IPA; very distinctive
Taste: Fruit, spices, something else. Again, very distinctive.
Feel: Very smooth. I could guzzle this repeatedly, but that would ruin the enjoyment of this very tasty brew.
Fantastic beer. Could enjoy this every day. Taste does not exactly remind me of anything else I've had but takehome message is that this is what lager can taste like when it's done right, with none of the adjuncts and crap you get from mass-producers. In a craft-beer experience dominated by ales, this beer is a standout and will be a regular resident in my kegerator.

3.76/5 rDev -5.8%
A: Pours a hazy golden with a large foamy whitish head that fades relatively slowly, lots of carbonation on this one.
S: Up front bread and biscuit, some spice, followed by some lemon and citrus, touches of pine and grass.
T: A bit different than the nose, with way more fruitiness than I expected. I get some orange and grapefruit citric tones and some grass and spice as well, hence the "hopped up lager" classification.
M: Medium bodied, crisp and refreshing, with fairly high carbonation.
O: This is quite interesting to me, not quite a hoppy lager like the IPLs, but way more than a standard pilsner. Different, and I like it. Absolutely worth trying!

O: A very pleasant lager with hop appeal. Love the artwork of the Stabello troll and the whole legend behind the beer. Crooked Letter is really starting to make a great impression on the pallettes of craft beer lovers in Mississippi.

No-one misses a visit to meet the gorillas at Werribee. These endlessly fascinating creatures, which are from the same family as humans and chimpanzees, are so like ourselves – they even giggle when amused!
Gorillas are native to Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. They are classed as 'critically endangered' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (on the IUCN 'red list'). These critically endangered animals are vulnerable to habitat loss from logging, mining, hunting (even though they are protected) and the Ebola virus. It is not known how many remain in the wild, but it is known that these numbers are decreasing.
One of the gorillas now at Werribee has been part of an international breeding program and the two younger males may be called on to join family groups as breeding males at some time in the future. Werribee is an important regional 'male holding' facility.
A visit to Werribee is an opportunity to learn more about the plight of gorillas in the wild and be inspired to take action to save them before it is too late. Learn about how coltan mining is causing catastrophic impacts on endangered wildlife such as the gorilla. The exhibit's name, Gorillas Calling, is linked to Zoos Victoria's mobile phone recycling campaign, They're Calling on You, which supports the Jane Goodall Institute in conserving Africa's primate species.
The Western Lowland Gorilla lives in troops of up to 30 gorillas. The groups are usually harmonious since there are no marked friendships between gorillas in a group. Distinct friendships can lead to jealousies and squabbling.
The leader of the group will usually be a dominant silverback male. In large groups there may be more than one silverback. These include younger, non-dominant males, who may eventually move off and live solitary lives. A male may kidnap a female gorilla from another group and begin a new troop.
Males exhibit aggressive behaviour by vocalising. The silverback stands on his hind legs and throws leaves and twigs into the air. He then beats his chest with his hands and runs back and forth tearing up the vegetation. The finale is beating the ground with the palms of his hands. This intimidating behaviour is used to threaten outsiders and often gives the impression that the gorilla is fiercer than he actually is.
Together we can improve animal care, reduce threatening processes and save endangered species.
You can help protect wild gorillas simply by donating your old mobile phone.

So, since I promised to make a Junk Drawer after tblazers roughly 92 months ago, I decided there's no better time to do it than right now. Now that the season is in full swing and we have plenty of things to be worried about, it seems like it would be a good time for a JD about something really awesome. Hear me out after the jump.Everyone knows I love shoes (if you didn't already know that, I question your Bedger knowledge), so this is the perfect opportunity to make an Official Shoes JD. However, instead of going on and on about my own shoes -- which are obviously in a league of their own -- I will educate you on who has the best and worst kicks in the NBA. This is very serious business so pay attention!
Now, even though I often love/hate players irrationally, I will not let those feelings effect the scores of their kicks. Shoes deserve respect and dammit, that's what they will get. They will be scored on a scale of 1-10.
My first victim is rookie John Wall with his new signature shoe, the Reebok Zigtech Slash. Whuck?
via dimemag.com
Yeah....First of all, the zigtech is terrible and so is the pattern on the side. I think a little less blue would help, but the design would still be hideous. If you thought they couldn't get any worse, you were wrong. Although I just made much better ones for this contest.
Score: 2/10
Second is Brandon Jennings and his Under Armour Micro G Black Ice kicks
via theshoegame.com
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about these. I don't really care for the strap across the toe. The other colorways might be a little better, but I'm just not a big fan.
Score: 4/10
Here we have Derrick "MVP" Rose's Signature AdiZero
via www.stylewiz.com
I like the three stripes down the heel instead of the side and the shine is cool. Overall I think they are decent...for Adidas.
Score: 6/10
Here are Dwight Howard's Beast kicks
via www.stylewiz.com
They look kind of bulky to me even though they are a very light shoe. The all black is definitely the best colorway, while the all blue is....very blue. Smurf-like, even.
Score: 5.5/10
Here are Kobe "My face is so very punchable" Bryant's Nike Zoom Kobe V
Sigh. It pains me to say this but....I really like his kicks. These ones are purty cool lookin'. They are simple and low tops are rare, which I like. That's all I can say about his shoes without wanting to punch myself for complimenting him more than I need to.
Score: 9/10
Nic Batum is next with his new...interesting kicks
Oh, Nic. It's a good thing you are adorable 'cause these shoes are not. The stitching hurts my eyes and there are too many different shades of red. The blue shell toe is a major turn off as well. Too gaudy! Not a good look. Sorry, Nic. The white ones are better, but the old Frenchy 88 ones are the real winners.
Score: 4/10
Here we have the league's savior, Kevin Durant. These are the Nike Zoom KD III
via cdn.nicekicks.wpengine.com
Harumph. I like KD's shoes quite a bit as well. The punchout on the tongue is a neat touch and they aren't too busy. This colorway is much better than the dorky orange clown shoes the entire OKC team wore during a game last season. The less orange on these kicks the better. Kudos to Durant for having cool shoes and scoring a lot of points.
Score: 7/10
Next, we have our very own Brandon Roy
B-Roy can (still) do no wrong in my book and these shoes are no exception. It's too bad BRP didn't steal some from his locker for me.
Score: 9/10
Last and certainly least, we have Lebron "King D-Bag" James. It's basically impossible to pick a pair, since he pretty much wears a different one every other game. Here are the LeBron 8's
via lh5.ggpht.com
Man alive. The shoes are pretty cool, but the dumb lion on the tongue ruins them. That prevents me from being able to score these any higher.
Score: 7/10
Bonus: Steve Nash's kicks
Now it's your turn. What are your favorite NBA kicks? How about favorite pair that you own? Ones you would kill to own? Ugliest shoes you've ever seen?
OK gang, you know the rules.
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts. Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor. The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts. We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. Everyone else is doing the same, so you will find the JD an eclectic place where you might read something interesting, pointless, profound, or just funny within a few moments. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, remember that you can use 'Z' on your keypad to mark a comment as read and move to the next one and hitting shift-A will mark all comments as read.
- Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- No pictures or talk of spiders of any kind
- Talk of the Miami Heat is forbidden.
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Mentioning of baseball is not allowed unless it's to say it sucks and you're glad it's finally over.
- Any comment containing the words "Kevin" and/or "Durant" will be deleted and you will be banned for the rest of this blog's existence; no exceptions.
- Don't use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
Happy junking, everyone!

comment on a post Obama's "Universal" Healthcare Deception over 6 years ago
Neither of their plans will ever become law in the form they are being proposed. I only care about the broadest expression of presidential candidates policies and in that context they are absolutely equal. If you are suggesting that Obama wants people to not be covered, well, that's absurd. Beyond that, obsessing over these details is silly because they will never happen. Congress will make the law and what ever they come up with (probably far less progressive than what either of the candidates are proposing,) if it's better than what we have now, they'll sign it. But which person will be in a better position to push congress for more? Which person can bring the scrutiny of the American people to bear on the issue better? And the answer to that is fairly subjective and so my vote for Obama continues to be an act I am not ashamed of.
comment on a post What's the Sphere Waiting For? over 6 years ago
If a Major blog endorses a candidate now it becomes a minor blog - the "Edwards blog" or the "Hilary Blog" or whatever. Too much time remains to counter the endorsement value and too much time OUT of the debate for blogs that depend on us coming to them to debate.
Much closer to the primaries, I suspect all the major blogs and bloggers will make endorsements in a last minute effort to influence the outcome.
on a comment on Clinton, Edwards, and Richardson at the Livestrong Forum over 6 years ago
From the Diary:
Another interesting moment came up when Matthews asked Senator Edwards about using embryos for research purposes. Specifically, Mathews asked if Edwards would have any problem with using donated sperm and eggs to create embryos solely for the purpose of research? Edwards responded, "I might."
So he says he might have a problem with deliberately creating embryos for research (i.e destruction).
Of course this goes to the whole "when does life begin" debate, which this answer of Edwards carefully sidesteps, perhaps not unwisely.

comment on a post Democrats Push Back Against California Right-Wing Power Grab over 7 years ago
As pointed out above, this is the way to go.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Po pular_Vote_Interstate_Compact
This passed the state assembly and senate in 2006 and was vetoed by Arnold, it has passed the State senate again in 2007. Short of a constitutional amendment, this gets as close to one person one vote as we could hope (and by using the national vote total (even if differers from the state total) it keeps smaller states in play.)
The Boxer criticism against the Republican Initiative is valid, our Congressional districts are gerrymandered and fixed, so apportion votes based on CDs will not give independents a greater voice (nor will repub in dem district nor dems in repub districts have a greater voice.) Thus, no increase in presidential attention. If the republican plan apportioned the electoral votes based on the popular vote in the whole state, that might make each vote count more (and garner more campaigning in the state)....but clearly the republicans don't really want that either, since the toning down of the central republican values of hate and bigotry will likely lose them their core wing-nut votes in other states..
This initiative is on the June ballot, the one we are likely to see the lowest turnout for for...which tends to favor republican proposals. Any independents who support it because they think it will make their voice be heard is a fool.
Also, if this proposal is meant to apply to the 2008 election, no one couldn't see it as a ploy to simply steal the presidency from the Democrats.

comment on a post Obama pollster Cornell Belcher is a Reagan Fan over 7 years ago
The myth of Regan (the Regan Democrats) being a cross over figure, being plain spoken (even when he was lying,) etc., is stronger than the truth of him or his presidency.
Obama is running for president of the US, not president of the Progressive activist bloggers. If he can cast him self as the Democratic version of Regan, he's won the general already. Don't know about the Primary though.
Hope is the active emotion.

while advocating NOT using force against a potential threat. She would totally tank - she'd won't gain the anti-war vote no matter what she does and she would be painted in the middle as weak on the use of force - not good. Her only out would have been to declare she had been lied to back when we would have believed her. Now, she has to stick to her guns cause all she's got on Iraq is that she's somehow consistent.
comment on a post MyDD Interview with Chuck Schumer over 7 years ago
I was surprised and somewhat angered by the notion that the DSCC thinks it's job is to protect incumbents from primary challenges (al la Mary Landrieu.) The DSCC should support the democratic candidate 100% but shouldn't get involved in the primary. Otherwise they are imposing their will on the Democrats of that state.
on a comment on Open Thread over 7 years ago
Between 60 minutes, Grease (you're the one that we want) and Extreme House makeover, Bush didn't stand a chance. But now Fox can pull some tasty soundbites for their "news" shows to show the "base" that Bush took some "tough" questions from the Liberal media.

Yesterday, White House spokesmouth Jay Carney made yet another claim concerning how grrrrrrreat the economy is compared when President Barack Obama took office (bold is mine):
The economy is vastly improved from what it was when Barack Obama was sworn into office as president.
To no one's surprise, this howler was not considered news at the Associated Press. No article found in a search at the AP's main site on Carney's last name refers to the above quote.
To be "vastly improved," the economy's numbers have to be irrefutably better than they were 29 months ago.
They aren't:
Carney's unexcerpted claim that the economy was in free-fall at the end of 2008 is also questionable. The better characterization is that the economy was showing very early signs of recovery in December of 2008 until the heavyhanded goverment stimulus, auto company takeovers, and their accompanying lawlessness permanently (or at least for as long as this administration is around) established what I have called the Fear-Based Economy. As long as entrepreneurs, businesspeople and investors operate out of fright instead of a desire to capitalize on opportunities, we're not going to see "vast improvements."
The only thing which is "vastly improved" in this economy is the government's regulatory grip on it.
If such a statement such as Carney's in similar circumstances were made by a spokesman for a Republican or conservative administration, the Associated Press would be obsessed with it, and the establishment media's broadcast outlets would be making it their lead stories.

Difference Between Zionism and Judaism
Zionism vs Judaism
There is a big difference between Zionism and Judaism. Judaism describes the Jewish faith whereas Zionism defines the philosophy behind an exclusive Jewish state which is the physical and spiritual homeland meant exclusively for the Jewish people. The latter is a very fundamentalist outlook, and is much reviled, particularly amongst the Arabs.
All Zionist are Jews, but not all Jews are Zionists. There are Jews in many parts of the world. Most of them live in Israel and America. Now all of them certainly believe in Judaism, but not all of them would subscribe to the hard-line exclusivist vision of the Zionists. The Zionist movement arose in Europe in the late nineteenth century out of a desire to end the exile of the Jewish people and return them to the holy land by force if necessary. Initially they found very little support among the Jewish populace but could make some impression after the horrors of the Second World War, as perpetrated on the Jews, made them pay heed to this notion. Judaism on the other hand simply means living by the tenets of the Jewish holy book, the Torah. Whatever befell them was the will of God, as expressed through the Torah and there never was any attempt to forge any sort of a national, political or sectarian agenda.
Judaism as a religion is really a simple way of life, where man lives his life quietly and with dignity, while observing the traditional Jewish rituals that are ordained in the Torah. Zionism on the other hand speaks of the exclusivity of the Jews, their right on the holy land, the acquisition and conquest of lands held by other people, which is rightly their own. As opposed to a practitioner of Judaism, for whom a Jew is a person who believes in God, and strives to carry out his word, as passed down to him in the Torah. He does not think in terms of the lineage of a Jewish race which is separate from that of the others.
A practitioner of Judaism will have a more nuanced approach towards life, as he would know that Jewish history is a rich, checkered and much splendored tapestry which plays out over many nations and regions. A Zionist on the other hand would have very little factual information about his people, but a fanciful notion about the origin of his race.
The Jewish people or the followers of Judaism have often suffered persecution at the hands of European nations down the ages on account of their race. It is ironic that the Zionists among the Jews would show the same kind of hatred to other people, namely the dispossessed Palestinians. This is even more ironic for the reason that Asian nations were generally very tolerant of the Jews' presence down the ages.
According to the traditions of Judaism the task that God set before Jews was to set standards in the realm of spirituality and piety, and not to excel in military might or the mastery of high technology as a driver of force, as the Zionists proclaim. All in all Judaism is all about spirituality and piety while Zionism is about racism and expansionism.
1.Judaism describes the Jewish faith. Zionism defines the philosophy behind an exclusive Jewish state.
2.All Zionist are Jews, but not all Jews are Zionists.
3.Judaism is more about spirituality but Zionism is more about racism.

Great Article. I never knew what a "Zionist" was but have been hearing the term used alot lately. I thought all Jews were Zionists. I'm glad I found your article.
All practicing Jews believe in the Messiah, and that the land of Israel will be returned to them, eventualy. Jews have prayed to God for thousands of years to return them to their land and to rebuild the temple.
Zionism, is the movement to take back the land without waiting for the Messiah to do so. Zionists can be either religious or non religous.
That is the whole story. This article, unfortunately, includes a lot of unnecessary bias.
I'm not an authority, however I want to tell you that I agree only with your 1st & 2nd sentence.
The thing brother HaLeivei is that the Messiah (Jesus peace be upon him) will take back the land of Israel, but with the Muslims. He will also kill the False Messiah.
One does not have to be Jewish to be zionist.
This article was obviously written by 1) a non-Jew 2) a non-Zionist 3) a person with distorted views on both subjects. In fact, their prejudice is painfully transparent. Zionism is the movement to rebuild the Jewish homeland in their ancestral land – a land from which they never relinquished their claim, and in fact, there have always been Jews living there.
it's more accurate to say have always Jews and Non Jews lived there
hi, just as a ortodhks jew, i was happy to read this dissociation, we and almost all jews who are "doing jedisem', agreeing to this facts. its simple, jews are not a race, everyone, from anywhere, from any sact can get jewish and do the 613 laws g-d gave to the sons of abraham issec and jacob on mount seini. "jewdisam is a religios. "if you see a man, who is not practicing the jewish law. dont see him as a jew, just like i dont see president obama as a muslem even his grandma is…
Thank you Efra for telling out the truth. The Zionist are NOT jews and the State of "Israel"
is NOT a jewish state! One and for all!!
All Zionists are jews? I am totally opposed!
According to the halacha someone who does'nt belive in the thirteen principles of the jewish faith posted by Maimonides (known as the "13 IKKRIM" ) is considered as a heretic and is excluded from judaism, that means that all zionists becouse of their heresy are not jewish people although they have also many religious people, that makes no difference.
(look in rambam pirush hamishnayos sanhedrin perek cheylek)
A very poorly written article.
"All Zionist are Jews"
False. Many Christians and Muslims are Zionists too.
"Now all of them certainly believe in Judaism"
False. Jews are often secular (Jewish atheist)
"A Zionist on the other hand would have very little factual information about his people, but a fanciful notion about the origin of his race."
An unqualified sweeping assumption, especially considering its contradictory nature. Zionism is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, which is in itself factual information about the Jewish people.
Correct your mistakes and rewrite your article, maybe even read a book about the religion before you try to misrepresent it every again.
Perhaps you should read @orthodox jew one more time, you might avoid missing the point:
"All Zionists are jews? I am totally opposed!
According to the halacha someone who does'nt belive in the thirteen principles of the jewish faith posted by Maimonides (known as the "13 IKKRIM" ) is considered as a heretic and is excluded from judaism, that means that all zionists becouse of their heresy are not jewish people although they have also many religious people, that makes no difference.
(look in rambam pirush hamishnayos sanhedrin perek cheylek)
Besides which loving God which ever advocate the killing on innocent people, Guess history repeats itself and you Zionists will be expelled from the holy land by god one more time, this time for good.
Thank you Sameera. I think @efra also mentionied this point, no?

From Bad to Worse
It's been a rouch couple of weeks in Lynnville. Especially with anything mechanical.
First, on the way home from work last week the check engine light came on...so I take it into the shop and luckily it's just a computer problem that, even though still expensive, is easily fixed. However, while they're fixing that problem they find a crack in the lower intake manifold (wow, I kind of sound like I know what I'm talking about even though I don't) and it's going to cost about $1300 to fix. That's about half of what the car is actually worth.
Luckily, I talk to my dad and he says he can fix it no problem and just bring it back to Michigan when I get the chance. Problem solved, right? Or so I thought. On Tuesday I go grocery shopping (and of course stock up on frozen foods and a large chicken) and the stupid car won't start. So I'm stuck in the Giant parking lot with a trunk full of food. So I hoof it to the shop, again, and find out they have to tow the friggin car. The guy was nice enough to drive my to my car to get some of my groceris so I could metro them home...I remembered the frozen stuff but accidently left the chicken.
So here, I'm thinking, fine, I'll just have to pay the whopping amount to fix the manifold but atleast it will be done and I'll save both my dad and me the trouble having him fix it in Michigan...wrongo! It's something totally different, that costs an additional $500 plus towing costs plus the cost of the stupid chicken I left to stink up my trunk.
So now, I still have to take the car home to fix the manifold problem and pray that it doesn't break down on the 12 hour trip.
And to make matters even worse, we haven't had hot water in our apartment for two days. yup-cold showers for two friggin days. Today was esepcially bad. I went for a nice run to get myself all hot and sweaty so the shock of the cold water would actually be refreshing rather than murderous but it backfired. It was actually cold and windy today for my run so instead of the cold shower being a blessing it was horrible. Plus, the longer the water ran the colder it got-it was so bad that my finger nails were actually turning blue and it made me feel physically ill. Especially when the water hit my back. For some reason it was okay for all the other body parts but when my frozen hair hit the small of my back I swear I almost passed out.
Whew...that's it, enough bitching. Thanks for listning.

Austrian art and technology pranksters monochrom will be in San Francisco this Sunday, February 11th for a live videotaping of episode #10 of their talk show spoof Taugshow at the Exploratorium. The event is being co-produced by V. Vale's RE/Search Publications and features host Johannes Grenzfurthner with special guests J.D. Lenzen and Jennifer Granick.
Here's more info from the RE/Search newsletter:
Sun Feb 11, 2007, 7:30pm: RE/Search Presents MONOCHROM (six members) from Vienna, Austria at the S.F. Exploratorium – party & live ironic TAUGSHOW ("talk-show") videotaping featuring Hacker Lawyer Jennifer Granick, Bondage Chemist J.D. Lenzen, Evelyn Furlinger (monochrom's resident linguist), and the MONOCHROM ALLSTAR BAND, hosted by Johannes Grenzfurthner. This may be your chance to be on Vienna TV!) MONOCHROM is featured in RE/Search's new PRANKS 2 book; they executed one of the most complicated international art pranks ever. $10. reservations at 415-362-1465.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: "Taugshow is a project by monochrom. But what is monochrom? monochrom is a worldwide operating collective dealing with technology, art, context hacking, and philosophy which was founded in 1993. They specialize in an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, and political activism. Their mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archaeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment.
"Among their projects, monochrom has released a leftist retro-gaming project, established a one-baud semaphore line through the streets of San Francisco, started an illegal space race through Los Angeles, buried people alive in Vancouver [and San Francisco], and cracked the hierarchies of the art system with their Georg-Paul Thomann Project, documented in RE/Search's PRANKS 2 book. In Austria they ate blood sausages made from their own blood in order to criticize the grotesque neoliberal formation of the world economy. Sometimes they compose melancholic pop songs about dying media and they have hosted the first annual festival concerned with cocktail robotics. At the moment they're planning a conference about pornography as one of the driving forces of technological innovation. They also do international soul trade, propaganda camps, epic puppet theater, aesthetic pregnancy counseling, food catering, and – sorry to mention – modern dance." More info: wikipedia, monochrom.net
"MONOCHROM produce a regular TV talkshow for a Viennese community TV station and put it online on their page under a Creative Commons license. Taugshow is referring to the Viennese slang term 'taugen' (to dig something, to adore something). We produce a TAUGSHOW! Our guests are geeks, heretics, and other coevals. A joyful bucket full of good clean fanaticism, crisis, language, culture, self-content, identity, utopia, mania and despair, condensed into the well-known cultural technique of a prime time TV show."
UPDATE: My photos of Taugshow #10 are now online.
