The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), contain detailed provisions to support international cooperation in criminal matters, such as extradition and mutual legal assistance, and provide for specific and innovative forms of cooperation that can be applied in the field of wildlife and forest crime. Examples include joint investigations and cooperation for the use of special investigative techniques, such as controlled delivery, electronic and other forms of surveillance and undercover operations. These Conventions further require States parties to adopt appropriate measures aimed at promoting law enforcement cooperation.
The General Assembly affirmed the relevance of the UNTOC to fight illicit trafficking in natural resources in its resolution 55/25 of 15 November 2000, in which it stated that the Convention "constitutes an effective tool and the necessary legal framework for international cooperation in combating such criminal activities as illicit trafficking of protected species of wild flora and fauna, in furtherance of the principles of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora". In this connection, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has an important role to play in terms of strengthening the capacity of Governments to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate crimes against protected species of wild flora and fauna, complementing other international legal frameworks that are relevant for the protection of the environment, as for instance the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
In resolution 2001/12, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) urged Member States to adopt "the legislative or other measures necessary for establishing illicit trafficking in protected species of wild fauna and flora as a criminal offence in their domestic legislation." In a subsequent resolution 2003/27, the ECOSOC urged Member States to cooperate with UNODC (as well as with the secretariats of CITES and the CBD) with a view to preventing, combating and eradicating trafficking in protected species of wild fauna and flora. This ECOSOC resolution also encouraged Member States to adopt, where necessary, preventive measures together with a review of their criminal legislation in order to ensure that the serious nature of these offences relating to trafficking in protected species is punishable by appropriate penalties.
In 2007, the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) adopted resolution 16/1 on "International cooperation in preventing and combating illicit international trafficking in forest products, including timber, wildlife, and other forest biological resources". In this resolution, the Commission recognized the potential role of UNODC in preventing and combating these and other related offences. In 2008, the ECOSOC, in its resolution 2008/25, reiterated the need for international cooperation and called for "holistic and comprehensive national multi-sectoral approaches to preventing and combating illicit international trafficking in forest products, including timber wildlife, and other forest biological resources."
Within this framework, and at the request of Member States, in 2010, UNODC launched a pioneer programme in Indonesia promoting good governance, law enforcement and anti-corruption measures in areas affected by rampant illegal logging. In undertaking this work, UNODC strongly promotes the use of its well-established and tested tools to address corruption, weak national state capacities and drivers of wildlife and forest crime, so as to ensure transparent and effective implementation of programmes within the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation framework (REDD+). The UNODC efforts contribute substantively to the goal identified by the 16 th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to find effective ways to reduce human pressure on forests that results in greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2010, UNODC strengthened its support for, and collaboration with, a number of different initiatives and agencies directing their efforts against wildlife and forest crime. At the International Tiger Forum held in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, in November 2010, UNODC Executive Director Mr. Yury Fedotov addressed the representatives of the 13 Tiger Range Countries (countries home to the few tigers remaining in the wild) regarding the importance of an effective response to the challenges posed by wildlife and forest crime and stressed UNODC's commitment to combat illicit trade in endangered wildlife.
In 2011, the Economic and Social Council adopted Resolution 2011/36 on crime prevention and criminal justice responses to trafficking in endangered species of wild fauna and flora. In this resolution, the Council invited Member States to consider making illicit trafficking in endangered species of wild fauna and flora a serious crime and requested UNODC to provide technical assistance to States, upon request, particularly as regards the prevention, investigation and prosecution of trafficking in endangered species of wild fauna and flora, within its mandate and in cooperation with Member States, relevant international organizations and the private sector. As a follow-up, UNODC is in the process of finalizing two computer-based training modules to assist law enforcement agencies in the investigation of wildlife crimes.
Resolution 20/5, also adopted in 2011 by the CCPCJ, addresses the problem of transnational organized crime committed at sea. This resolution offers Member States and UNODC a unique opportunity to tackle wildlife trafficking at sea.
In July 2011, national governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations met to discuss critical issues related to the illicit trade of commodities such as wildlife, timber, fish and waste at the 11 th Asian Regional Partners Forum on Combating Environmental Crime (ARPEC). For more information on this Regional Forum please refer to the website of the UNODC East Asian and Pacific Office: http://www.unodc.org/eastasiaandpacific/en/2011/07/arpec/story.html
In 2012, the Economic and Social Council adopted, on the recommendation of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Resolution 2012/19 on strengthening international cooperation in combating transnational organized crime in all its forms and manifestation. In this resolution, the Council recognized the involvement of transnational criminal organizations in all aspects of crimes that have a significant impact on the environment and urged Member States to consider addressing different forms and manifestations of such crime.

Best Smoked Sturgeon San Francisco 2003 - East Coast West Delicatessen
1725 Polk
San Francisco, CA 94109
Smoked salmon is as prevalent in San Francisco as dandelion greens and blood orange granita, but it's nearly impossible to track down smoked sturgeon, the uncrowned king of deli-case delectables. At Barney Greengrass and many another Manhattan delicatessen, its characteristic flavor and texture -- rich, meaty, and not as creamy as lox -- is a continuing source of gustatory pleasure. One of the few places you can find it out here (at least north of Beverly Hills) is at East Coast West, where the traditions of the seaboard and the mise en scène of the coast commingle to everyone's benefit. Its smoked sturgeon, served up in thick chunks, has a rosy-white complexion and a deep amber skin to go with the delicate, buttery flavor of its meat. Like the best lox, this sturgeon is only barely smoky, mildly briny, and not at all salty, and it's so rich that its oily essence soaks through its wrapping paper by the time you get it home. With a dollop of East Coast West's puckery cream cheese and a slab of dense, chewy pumpernickel, it's ambrosia.

St. Augustine's University has reassigned two convicted felons who were working with the school's Kiddie Kollege program, the school confirmed in a statement Friday afternoon.
"While I remain confident in their ability, I have decided to reassign both employees to their administrative roles at the University," President Dianne Boardley Suber said in a statement. "It is paramount to maintain a positive learning environment for the children. We will continue to maintain diversity within our staff and evaluate employees on their merit."
According to the N.C. Department of Justice website, Doris Bullock was convicted in Halifax County in 1981 on second-degree murder charges. She went by Doris Braswell at the time. Bullock had been listed as the contact for the program by St. Aug's.
Deidra Gary, former Deidra Lane, was incarcerated after being convicted in 2003 of manslaughter in the death of former Carolina Panthers running back Fred Lane, who was later traded to the Indianapolis Colts.
The Kiddie Kollege Summer Program began June 17 and runs through July 19, according to the school. The day-time program is for children age 5-9 and is intended to expose young children to a university setting and develop academic interests.
Two parents in the St. Aug's area Friday gave different views of the matter.
One, Sylvia Moore, said the two camp employees should be allowed to continue.
"I think that people go to jail and pay their debt to
society, and they should be given their opportunity to show that they
can be productive," Moore said. "I also feel that if that's what they are doing then I
think that's a great thing."
But Shandi Cheek called having two killers work with camp children "really disturbing" and said the matter was "the most ridiculous thing ever."
"If it was me
personally, I would personally choke somebody out and let them know it's a violation
of my child's safety and well-being," she said. " I think sometimes we get caught up
in the whole second chance ordeal and I don't have a problem with folks having
second chances, but when it comes to things like murder and overseeing
children, that's where I have a problem with it.
"And that's why I feel
like someone over there at St. Aug's needs to pay for the negligence and the
non-thought that they gave to overseeing the care of these kids."

work well for us
I liked the fact that under jams were softer feeling,and maybe more comfortable, but we have had less leaks with these.

Not comfy on sensitive skins
Very absorbent but the elasticated sides irritated my daughters skin. Have since tried UnderJams - much softer so we've switched.
06 March 2010
So handy
These are the best thing for those odd nights away. My daughter is good at night, but if she stays out with family for the night. The peace of mind knowing she wont mess their sheets up is great.

Office of the Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer (VPRTT)
The Addis Ababa University (AAU), the oldest and largest higher education institution in Ethiopia, has a long track record of leading the higher education system of the country with training, research and community services by motivating different brands of collaborations, partnerships and outreach programmes and activities. The University is a highly treasured place for the pursuit of truth and intellectual excellence through nurturing the habit of free inquiry and scholarship as well as research, through the propagation and dissemination of knowledge and its preservation thereof. In this connection, the AAU has been engaged in research and community service activities since its establishment in 1950. As a result of the research activities of members of the University, important contributions have been made to society in various sectors. In recent years, there has been a major drive by the University to reinvigorate its entire research landscape while linking it organically with industry through a vigorous technology transfer goal. This new stride was initiated after a thorough assessment of its past and present and critical reflection on its future direction and upon concluding a recent grand business process reengineering (BPR) engagement.
Taking into account the whole terrain of reform in the University, seen together with the responsibility entrusted to the institution by the Government, particularly as a foundational higher education system in the country, and the entire changing horizon of education, the AAU recently welcomed a brand new vision of becoming a preeminent research university in Africa. As a result, research at AAU has been given a new organizational platform under a new direction and new set of policy framework. The change at AAU underscored that research should proactively respond to the national demand of generating new knowledge and technology and dissemination, strengthening and developing capacity of students in contemporary science and technology. The new research shall be conducted in the most cost effective and responsive manner and be interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in its scope, and thematic in its approach.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer is accountable to the President with responsibilities in leading, coordinating and facilitating the University's research and technology transfer. The following offices are answerable to the VPRTT and assist the research and technology transfer functions.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer will have the Directorate of Research, the Directorate of University-Industry Linkage and Technology Transfer, and the Directorate of Publications and Disseminations. The Directorate of Research will house three offices one for Research Capacity Building; one for Thematic Research, Sponsored Collaborative Grants and Small Grants; and one for Graduate Research Coordination. The Directorate of University-Industry Linkage and Technology Transfer will house two offices one for Technology Transfer/Parks, Intellectual Property Rights, Adaptive Research and Incubation Centers; and one for Research Consultancy Services. The Directorate for Publication and Dissemination will house the Director for University Press and the office of Research Dissemination.

UC San Diego Health System has an multidisciplinary program for restoring function to people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). In the United States, approximately 12,000 new spinal cord injuries occur each year. There are around 300,000 people living with a spinal cord injury.
NSCISC Spinal Cord Injury Facts and Figures at a Glance
The degree of function following spinal cord injury corresponds to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale classification.
In a complete SCI, where no muscle function remains below the injury site, procedures such as nerve transfers and tendon transfers can bring control from above the injury level to muscles below that level. For example, a C5 complete SCI can recover grasp by using part of the nerve that helps flex the elbow. Recovering even partial arm and hand function can have an enormous impact on independence and quality of life because these individuals are dependent upon upper extremity function for mobility and activities of daily living.
In an incomplete SCI, limbs frequently have spasticity and reduced control. In an ASIA C, this is generally not enough for useful function. ASIA D patients are more functional, but often spastic with movements that are slow and difficult to execute. In both of these cases, surgeons at UC San Diego Health System can generally improve the patient's level of functioning. Surgical treatment techniques include reducing spasticity in particular muscles using peripheral neurotomies, as well as transferring the nerves with the best control to the most important muscle groups to improve function in that limb. Read more about these techniques below.
Dr. Justin Brown, UC San Diego Health System neurosurgeon, recently quoted in Paraplegia News.
Currently, tendon transfers are the most common procedure for restoring hand function. The distal end of a working muscle (that is controlled by the part of the spinal cord above the injury) is cut and reattached to replace a nonworking muscle (which would otherwise be controlled by the spinal cord, but it isn't functioning because it is below the injury level). The tendon transfer sacrifices function at a lesser location in order to restore function at a more important location.
Nerve transfers are a new option for patients with spinal cord injuries. Conceptually, this procedure is quite similar to tendon transfers. In this procedure, a healthy nerve serving one function is cut and reconnected to a nonfunctional nerve (below the injury level) serving a more important function. Nerve transfers provide options for patients who are not candidates for tendon transfers. A number of nerve transfer procedures have been developed for restoring function within the hand, but not every patient is a candidate for this procedure. Our physicians will determine which procedures are best for you.
Benefits of nerve transfers may provide advantages over tendon transfer for some patients. First, nerve transfers restore the original muscles function without changing the arm's anatomy. Second, nerve transfers do not require casting and immobilization. Third, nerve transfers offer potential reconstructions when no tendon transfer options are available. Finally, sacrificing one simple function can potentially restore multiple functions. In some cases, there is actually no perceivable loss of function in any muscle groups. It should be noted that, unlike tendon transfers, nerve transfers can take as long as one year to provide the intended function.
Surgeons at UC San Diego Health System use both nerve and tendon transfer procedures to address spinal cord injury-related paralysis of the arms and hands. When a nerve transfer option is considered, neurophysiological testing is required. This is performed by Dr. Geoffrey Sheean. Dr. Justin Brown, who is a neurosurgeon and an expert in nerve transfers, works together with Dr. Reid Abrams, an orthopedic hand surgeon and expert in tendon transfers. Together, they develop effective strategies for recovering hand function in patients with hand impairments related to spinal cord injuries.
Talk to our peripheral nerve experts, call 858-246-0674.
A Complete – No sensory or motor function is preserved in the sacral segments S4 - S5.
B Incomplete – Sensory but not motor function is preserved below the neurological level and includes the sacral segments S4 - S5.
C Incomplete – Motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and more than half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade less than 3.
D Incomplete – Motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and at least half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade greater than or equal to 3.
E Normal – Sensory and motor functions are normal.
0 – total paralysis
1 – palpable or visible contraction
2 – active movement, full range of motion, gravity eliminated
3 – active movement, full range of motion against gravity
4 – active movement, full range of motion against gravity and provides some resistance
5 – active movement, full range of motion against gravity and provides normal resistance

As we complete the change over that we have been working on for the last two years (between assignments) we will move past articles to this page. If you have an account and have a flare for writing and wish to write an article just login and you will see a link below titled "Create Article". Also if you wish to add comments to the articles you will need to login first.
This article comes from a forum post that was made by rass3742 on 9/12/2006
One thing I've noticed is the incessant struggle between newbies and veterans of our industry, as they scrimmage to identify the paradigm of CAT adjusting. As a veteran of claims adjusting myself, I have taken the long road here and know that I am better for it.
I have just recently become "active" in reading and posting comments; as such, I hope I am not breaking the rules of CADO by bringing the bulk of a post I already made into this thread. I just think it's a topic at the front of so many minds here that it might be of interest as its own discussion.
What I've been seeing, in a lot of the posts in the CADO community, are seasoned adjusters who are struggling with the seemingly never-ending complaints of start-up adjusters who aren't being handed a living on a silver platter.
Understanding that all things are relative is the first step to getting a grasp on others' opinions. In the opinion of a person wanting to get into the industry, they are grasping at any training/experience they can, so they will be employable; but they can't understand why claims managers aren't calling them. At the same time, the seasoned adjusters (which eventually become those claims managers) are remembering everything they went through to get where they are: the years of adjusting claims; interacting with other insurance departments and outside customers like underwriting (personal lines and commercial lines), loss control, legal (appraisals, arbitrations, mediations, lawsuits), agents, experts (contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants), public adjusters, insurance commissioners; and the hours and hours of researching policies and legal decisions, reviewing PILR (Property Insurance Loss Register) decisions and performing peer-review, to determine if their claim is covered. There are also numerous adjusting theories/tasks to consider like depreciation/betterment; co-insurance; under insurance; estoppel; proximate cause; concurrent causation; ensuing damages; cause & origin; fraud; insurable interest; other insurance; existing damage; prior losses; definitions; deductibles; care, custody & control; statutory provisions; obsolescence; detrimental reliance; mitigation; subrogation/salvage; loss settlement and loss payment; inherent vice; consequential losses; ordinance or law; limits and sub-limits of liability; Replacement Cost v Actual Cash Value; exclusions; Waivers; Reservations of Rights letters; claimant motivation; bad faith; errors & omissions; fluid pricing; fair/unfair claims practices; fiduciary duties; moral hazard and morale hazard; litigation management (yes, it's too late to start thinking of this after the suit has been filed); alternate dispute resolution; ambiguous policy wording; proper investigation; prompt reporting; reserving; consumer protection; loss site safety (for the adjuster, the insured and the public); as well as many others.
There are more components to a claim than just damages. There's an old industry acronym: D.I.C.E. It stands for
Insuring agreement
Those are the four main components of an insurance policy. Did you see Damages in there? No. Now don't get me wrong - damages are obviously an important part to resolving a claim, but not until the items listed above have been considered. And failing to do so will trip up an adjuster quicker than his own untied shoelaces.
The claims managers inherently look at claims with far more insight than just banging out a bid for some roof shingles and wet drywall. But when they review their list of available candidates, they realize the huge influx of inexperienced adjusters. Since they are charged with a fiduciary responsibility to the carrier, they have to carefully consider those they bring into their employ.
There is a lot more to hiring adjusters than just finding people that want to become an adjuster, depending on the circumstances. If two or three large storms hit within a few weeks, everyone works; problem is, we haven't seen that this year. But until that happens, not so. I think what has happened is that due to the explosive nature of the last two CAT seasons, a lot of people outside of, but near, the industry (contractors, building consultants, etc.) have caught the bug. So now supply and demand shows up, from another angle. All of a sudden, there are "boot camps" and "adjuster crash courses" falling from the sky. Now all of the guys and gals who think adjusting is an easy buck line up to give their hard earned money to these people, with the hopes for a big payoff. That's when the next example of supply and demand kicks in; now there's hundreds, if not thousands, of new adjusters who have passed their crash course and their on-line state licensing test and all want to go to work tomorrow. In a year like '05, you bet, most of them are being given claim files; but in a lean year they're not at the top of anyone's list.
Now, for the newbies in the crowd….if we're talking about CAT work, my last few paragraphs address it. If, on the other hand, you're talking strictly about an entry-level position in the industry, with a mainstream carrier, I would encourage you to go full-steam ahead. Put out resumes that show you're looking for an entry level/trainee position. There are many carriers that prefer trainees so they don't have to "deprogram" them. Then be willing to spend the first month or two reading policies and doing correspondence courses before being given your first claim. As the claims start coming, they will get more difficult and challenging and before you know it you'll have two years under your belt and will have dealt with issues and theories you never thought of; you'll also be far more prepared to jump into the CAT arena and really make a difference, for yourself and your insured.
If you decide you want to be a Firefighter today, you won't be driving the big red truck tomorrow; they don't just hand you the keys.

A lawsuit over the panhandling ordinance in Charlottesville will head back to a courtroom, after a three-judge panel ruled unanimously Thursday that a judge should not have tossed out the lawsuit without hearing any evidence.
Joan Fenton owns two retail stores on the Downtown Mall and says the panhandlers have an impact on her bottom line Fenton supports the ordinance. "I would like to see it upheld," she said. "There are millions of places on the mall where people can ask for money and I don't believe there's a case where someone who was using those locations and has lost any of their income."
Charlottesville City Council unanimously passed the panhandling ordinance in 2010, restricting where people can solicit money on the mall.
"The restrictions put in place left 95 percent of the mall open for solicitation," said Dave Norris, who served as mayor when the ordinance passed and is a current city councilor.
But the Charlottesville attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of five homeless men, says the case isn't about panhandling, it's about free speech.
"The case isn't about panhandling, it's about the first amendment," said Jeffrey Fogel, the Charlottesville attorney involved in the lawsuit. "It turns out that asking for a donation is protected by the first amendment. It's no difference when a person is asking for help for themselves."
Business owners on the downtown mall say the city should be watching out for their bottom lines, too, not just beggars or the homeless.
"You see the same four or five guys out here every day," said Mark Brown, the owner of the Main Street Arena. "We hire a lot of folks that are homeless, and those four or five guys that panhandle never come down here looking to get hired."
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled Thursday that a judge should not have tossed out the lawsuit without hearing evidence. The case will go to back to court, with both sides presenting evidence to support their case.

Pousse-café sounds horribly exotic. In truth, it's nothing more than a layered drink, and it's quite easy to accomplish. The results, when done well, are amazing to look at. To accomplish this, it requires a bit of knowledge of science, and a bit of skill.
First, the knowledge – one of the properties of liquids includes something known as a specific gravity. As Wikipedia puts it "Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance." For liquids, the reference substance is water. The higher the specific gravity of a liquid, the heavier it is. This property allows for different liquids to appear as if separate from one another.
The spirits world is filled with a tremendous variation from alcohol to alcohol. Typically speaking, the more sugar and less alcohol, the higher the specific gravity. The lower the sugar and higher the alcohol, the smaller the density. So, in selecting your alcohols, you would want a variation between which alcohols you picked.
So Step 1? Pick your alcohols that you wish to use in your drink.
Step 2 – Pour your drinks from heaviest to lightest. The trick is to pour slowly off of the back of a teaspoon (or other similar surface that gains you some measure of control), onto either the side of the glass, or just above the previous layer. This does take some skill, but it's not a difficult one to master. When I've tried it, it took me two attempts to get it right. I also found using a Martini glass helped immensely.
Here's the specific gravity of some of the more popular liquors out there, along with their flavors and colors:

Crème de cassis (black currant): Blood Red
Specific Gravity 1.17

Maraschino (cherry): Clear

Parfait d'armour (Rose/Orange/Vanilla): Violet
Specific Gravity 1.12
Cherry Liqueur (cherry): Dark Red
Crème de noyaux (almond): Bright Red
Strawberry Liqueur (strawberry): Pink/Red

Blue Curaçao (orange): Blue
Gallioano (vanilla-orange): Amber

The way I see it, if you want both the shower head & hand held sprayer to operate at the same time or if you want each one to operate independently, you will need to purchase a hand held sprayer that has a built in shut off button to stop the flow from it while shower head is in use.
>Or, use a three way diverter piped in properly;
1.) To control hand held sprayer
2.) To Control shower head
3.) To control both at the same time

T - Caramel, grains, mild bitterness with a metallic finish.

Bottle: Poured a light clear copper color Vienna with a medium foamy head with good carbonation and some light lacing. Aroma of biscuit malt with light caramel malt is good. Taste is dominated by light dry caramel malt with light gain notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing really special here.

6 Pack, LCBO, freshness date of 12/12/2012, served into an Upper Canada Pint glass that i found at Value Village ( good place to find glassware ).
A- Nice clear bronze color with a fluffy layer of foam that diminishes quickly to a thin layer, lots of big lively bubbles.
S- Very malty with good aromas of fresh bread, caramel, maybe a little toffee, slightly fruity with a touch of hops subdued in the background, good nose.
T- The nice malt flavors are what makes this beer good. Smooth, with good malty backbone, caramel, a touch of sugar, and bakery fresh bran muffins come to mind. Hops are present, but on the sidelines, bitterness is slight and adds good balance.
M- creamy and medium bodied. Carbonation is excellent.
D- A good session beer and something that i could see being a regular in my fridge.
Overall - ive only tried a few vienna lagers but Kings Vienna Lager is by far the best ive tried so far. Solid all around beer, and im glad i have 5 more in my fridge!

A: Pours a nice 1/4 inch head and then decreases to a thin film on top. head is white and beer has a medium copper colour to it.
S: malty and a bit bready, you can smell a bit of the bittering hops
T: Some sweetness at the front, followed with some bread flavours, then near finish a bit of caramel sweetness and then a nice short bitter finish.
M: Well carbonated. I would not say thin but it's on the end of it. It does have a certain silkyness to it too.
O: A great go to beer. Full of hints of caramel, bread and bitterness.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Picked up 6-pack at the LCBO. Pours an off-white tan head of foam, which leaves a nice film and good lacing. Colour is a nice medium caramel brown, visible carbonation.
Nose has caramel malts, faint grassiness. honey. Pleasant and balanced, has nice foresty and strong dry caramel notes.
Taste immediately has full caramelized malt, good balance of caramel, dry roast malts. Hops are not very present, slight bitter tang later. Good flavour intensity and balance, bit of sweetness toward end. Finish is dry, malty, and slightly warming.
Mouthfeel is smooth and rounded. Carbonation is at a good level to balance the malts. Drinkable, with a light-medium body.
Not a bad everyday drink, has a good flavour to it. Caramel malts dominate and beer has a good texture and flavour profile. Only improvement would be to have the caramel slightly less cloying/sweet. I'd still recommend it, very sessionable, and a good profile of the style.

Appearance: It has a nice clear golden color to it. It has a nice off-white head that dies down moderately fast and leaves little lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitly give out hints of toasted malts, floral hops and some caramel.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has a bready/caramelly malt character with some grassy and floral hops.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with decent flavors and aromas. Very refreshing.

I got this in an OCB mix pack. I've been meaning to try King for a while, it's just I can't seem to find any singles of what they sell.
Appearance: It produced a finger of head that did not lace but managed to stick around for a while. The body is a nice clear copper colour with decent carbonation.
Smell: Smells clean, as a light toasty aroma with a slight yeast undertone and a light floral touch. It seems to come across as a little moist, but not watered down.
Taste: Starts with a sweet toast like caramel malt that is tamed by a broom sweeping of barley and finished off with a touch of floral hops that makes it a fast, crisp and clean taste.
Mouthfeel: A slight caramel cloying that I could see getting out of control after say three or four, and the transitioning is quite fast. However, the carbonation helps out the entire beer, the aftertaste is nice.
Drinkability: This stuff is incredibly easy to get down and incredibly refreshing. The carbonation is perfect, it's flavourful but still simple enough to quench a summer thirst. There's nothing bad I can say here.
Final Thoughts: If you want a beer to teach you Macro buddies on what beer should be, try them on this. It has a high drinkability but a rich malty flavour that should win people over the generic straw taste of so many lagers. I really have to try more of King's offerings because this was great.

341 mL bottle from a sixpack. Dated 01/13/12 - I hope that is a packaging date and not an expiry one, because I know for a fact these six-packs haven't been in the store for particularly long.
Pours a translucent copper-orange colour, topped with a modest, off-white coloured head that soon fizzles away, leaving a thin, wispy cap with no lace. Clean, malty aroma with bready, biscuity sweetness, some caramel, brown sugar and a light nuttiness. Some light, floral hop notes as well. Smells like a Vienna lager alright.
I was sitting on the fence until I sipped this - it looks and smells merely decent, but this is a tasty, quality lager. Freshly baked biscuits and toasted bread come to mind, along with a healthy slathering of caramel. There's also a light fruity quality, reminding me of brown pear or perhaps white grapes. Floral, slightly grassy hop bitterness comes forward in the finish, lingering briefly on the palate. Light bodied, a bit watery, with too much carbonation for my liking. Still, it's quite crisp, refreshing and drinkable.
Final Grade: 3.65, an acceptable B grade. The last time I bought a 'Vienna-style lager', I wound up with a can of Trailhead. King Vienna is nothing like that stuff - this is a legitimate, well-made Vienna lager that I really enjoyed. Ridiculously sessionable - finishing this six-pack will be no trouble, and could probably be accomplished even during a slow evening.
This is a style I tend to overlook, as there just aren't very many quality ones available around here. Not being an expert in Vienna lagers, perhaps the only useful information I can offer is this - it's a better choice than Dos Equis Amber. Definitely worth a try, and something I'll probably pick up again some time.

A surprise b-day gift...
Pours a clear copper colour with an amber hue, finger of head with some retention and sporadic lacing.
S - A leafy green hop note with solid caramel undertones, and hints of toasted biscuit.
T - Much like the nose with a prominent earthy leafy green hop note, grassy flavours, and bready caramel that comes through on the finish. Nothing crazy, but flavourful nonetheless.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and a touch of dry on the finish.
O - I can't say that I'm overly familiar with the style, but I can certainly say this was a non-offensive, flavourful and easy drinking offering. Worth a try and I would certainly down a 6-er of this, no problem.

341ml bottle. Another Ontario brewery new to the shelves of Alberta stores last week. "Ultra Premium" - sigh.
This beer pours a clear copper-amber colour, with one solid finger of densely foamy off-white head, which leaves a random atoll group dispersal of lace around the glass as it sinks away.
It smells of sweet, almost sugary caramel malt, mediated somewhat by some far-left setting toasted biscuity grain character, a mild orchard fruitiness, and very tame earthy, leafy hops. The taste is mildly toasty bready malt, a now weirdly AWOL (style points!) caramel malt, though its absence gives way to a soft metallic mineral note, amongst a middling, restrained citrus and slowly loosening up floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is softly lilting, the body medium weight, and a tad clammy, but otherwise quite smooth. It finishes off-dry, the grainy sweetness not ready to really let go, though the hops do nothing to fill the newly formed flavour void.
Having experienced very few examples of the style, all I can say is that this does a fair job of hitting the majority of the academic laundry list of points, and is enjoyable enough to have more than a few, in addition to conveniently being BBQ and boardgame friendly.

Copper coloured, with a large off-white head. Poor retention and spotty lace. Clean aroma shows bread, toasty, and light floral notes. Bread crust and mild nut flavours up front, with very low hop bitterness in its short short finish. Light-medium bodied with low carbonation - it's mouthfeel is smooth and crisp. A bit delicate, but easily and enjoyably sessionable.

Nice rich gold brew under a moderate white head. Settles to a partial film and gives some spotty lace. Nose is light, sweet malt and a touch of hops.
Drinks nice and clean with a crisp bite. Sugary carmel up front, nice grain down the middle, gently bitter malt finish.
Competently made. Drinks nice. Worth a try.

Its blatantly obvious that when considering lager beer everyone inevitably jumps right into a Pilsner. It is the world's most popular beer style after all. Because of this I feel like other light but flavorful lagers get overlooked, and inexcusably so. One such style that deserves much more attention than it receives is the Vienna Lager. These lager beers are brewed with vienna malt (among others), which is kilned slightly more intensely then Pilsner malt imparting soft flavors of toast and bread. The resulting beer is smooth and cleanly malty with a rounder and softer overall mouthfeel compared to the crisper texture of a Pilsner.
Ontario beer lovers have access to a phenomenal example of the style - the King Brewery Vienna Lager. This beer just recently won a gold medal at the 2011 Canadian Brewing Awards in the North American Style Amber Lager category, and rightly so. King has been brewed in Nobelton Ontario since 2002, and is now owned by Beer Barons who have so far continued to push the quality of King's beers forward. The Vienna Lager is available at the LCBO, and King's other two brands, the Pilsner and Dark Lager are at The Beer Store.
I pulled the Vienna Lager from my fridge and let it warm for about 10 minutes. I want this beer to be cool and refreshing, but not palate numbingly cold. I poured it into a tall stemmed flute cool around 8C (45F) gently. The pour was smooth and gentle building a soft and airy white head that lifted itself easily and developed a rich sticky texture as it crept gently over the lip of the glass. Sturdy and eggshell white, it protected a golden yellow beer below that shone with bronze and caramel colors. Its strikingly pretty and held into the light gleams a sunshine yellow and pearl white foam. Easy way to get me excited already.
The nose is soft and subtle but elegant and pleasing. It is round with light malt aromas that beacon at toast, baking bread and dough. It does not leap out of the glass, and nor should it. But it does warm your nose with gentle flavors that are mingled perfectly together foreshadowing a lush flavor experience that could be enjoyed for hours on end. At the very end of the nose is a slight whiff of hops showing off light grassy and herbal tones. Very faint though, and just enough to balance.
The first sip allows for pure refreshment as smooth and clean malty flavors gently glide by with subtle and soft bitterness and a clean and lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Right away I knew the beauty of this beer. I could have easily just relaxed and drank the beer without any consideration or focus on the detail of its construction or flavor profile and seriously enjoyed the simplistic nature of its character. At the same time, with a moment of attention came a rush of depth and flavor that instantly triggered my sense of intrigue. Light toast, warm bread, soft malts and a creamy texture balanced of by a floral hint of bitterness - all in gentle and easy fashion. All of a sudden the Vienna Lager shines! And hence its purpose - easy drinking and enjoyable flavors that can be appreciated and enjoyed while not making lots of noise.
A beer of this sort is fit for a wide range beer drinking experiences. It will certainly shine on its own with great company, but will also be a wonderful pairing with soft cheeses, turkey, grilled or roasted chicken, vinaigrette salads, light deserts, spice and hearty fare, as well as classic pub food. My personal favorite is fish and chips.

You might think King Vienna Lager was bottled from a caramel fondue fountain. Not that it tastes anything like caramel, mind you, but it certainly looks it. Dazzling butterscotch-y tones reflect off the light, not compromising clarity in the least. Head level ranges from none to little, making lacing an uncommon sight.
The aroma on this beer isn't likely to entertain your nose for hours; Vienna Lagers as a style rarely ignite fireworks. But this impeccably clean, lightly toasty bouquet provides enough malt so as to put a big grin on the face. This smells like it should be flavourful and satisfying, the kind of lager that will disappear in only a handful of swigs.
The hallmark of a Vienna Lager is rich, toasty Vienna malt. (Makes sense, no?) This particular variety is a joy to drink, but not the easiest thing in the world to describe. It is sweet... except not. There's no caramel flavour and the finish is dry as toast, of which it actually tastes like. Melanoidin levels here, however, aren't full blown but just adequate.
The finish is relatively short-lived due to dryness but also an assertive hop profile that wasn't noticed in the flavour. Indeed, an ample dose of kettle hops cuts through most of the malt, which upon further reflection is actually a bit more grainy than it should be. The chunky toastiness adds more texture than flavour, a full and crisp mouthfeel.
Canada's King Vienna Lager would take backseat to no authentic European offering - it demonstrates every bit the quality and craftsmanship of those original, old-world brands. And it's engineered for German-levels of consumption too! A six pack of this stuff will not last long. Another good King rendition of a Germanic classic.

Thanks to TheSevenDuffs for this.
Poured from a 355ml. bottle.
Appearance: Color of the body is like iced tea. Colors seeps a little into the modest head but it thins out too much and i'm looking at a bare glass within a minute or two.
Smell: Strong caramel nose, malt with candied fruit.
Taste: Caramel, candy(?), a bit of mineral bite in the back and some fruit notes that linger, notably white grapes.
Mouthfeel: Clean body and the malt rules leaving only a whisper of bitterness. Very active carbonation.
Overall: It's alright actually. A well done lager that is a bit average but overall worthy of attention.

Picked up a sixer of this at the uptown Waterloo LCBO - I've enjoyed their pilsner on several occasions, so they've got my vote.
Poured into a Stella glass. Deep golden-amber hue, good amount of visible carbonation. Foams up about a half inch before receding to a fine ring and film.
Nose is pretty unremarkable. Sweet malt, a bit of bread, honey.
Sweet at first, with notes of bread and caramel, before cleaning things up with a mild hop bitterness. Nice lager, nothing too exciting, but damned easy to drink. A bit hollow though.
Thin bodied, carbonation is a bit wild. I enjoyed this better straight from the bottle, in fact.
Though not as grand as their pilsner, King's vienna lager is a decent, serviceable brew that would make for a fine patio/bbq sixer to bring along. A bit more assertiveness and more body would have made this a stellar brew (compare with Great Lakes Eliot Ness).

Clear amber with quickly dissipating head, but sufficient carbonation leading to a decent mouthfeel. Malty and bready aroma lead straight into the caramelized malts of the taste. A sweet finish with just a hint of bittering hops at the end.
Overall I think this is a good example of the traditional Vienna Lager beer style. Not my own personal favourite, but would recommend to anyone who enjoys that style.

S - Bready malts with a touch of caramel sweetness and a faint crisp hop presence.
T - Bready malts with a light sweetness and a faint crisp hop profile to balance it out. The malt flavours are definitely predominant and the hops are in the background.

Pours a clear golden-amber colour with a hefty and frothy head that burns off after a few minutes, leaving a small collar and film.
Smells of toasted malts, wild flowers and soapy hops. The malt has a real honey or caramel-like sweetness to it.
The taste is bready, with a nice crisp bite. A sweet caramel flavour with a fresh grain backing comes through on the tongue. Simple, but very clean and well-balanced.
Medium-bodied with a light carbonation, maybe a bit syrupy as it passes the tongue. A bit of a fatty or nutty taste comes through on the back of the tongue.
Another solid entry from King Brewery. I don't like it as much as their pilsner, but this is a really accessible, easy-drinking beer that will likely find its way into my regular rotation for dinner parties.

431 ml bottle from the LCBO decanted into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint glass.
A modest head of large bubbles sits atop a clear, light mahogany liquid. Countless streaming lines of tiny bubbles rise to the top. Head retains well.
The aroma is sweet toasty caramel with a quiet note of bread and noble hops.
The taste is toasted malts and grassy, herbal, woody bitterness, some caramel, grains and cereal with a light, light note of nutty smokiness. Very light and approachable.
The body is lacking a little. Medium-light body. Decent carbonation.
Overall a fairly text book example of the style that aims for greatness but falls just short for me. I wish it had a little more oomph and body. It's incredibly drinkable though.

Fresh bottle from brewery:
Decants as a clear deep amber with orange highlights. Creamy 3 finger cap that laces well. Well carbonated.
Nose is rich in toasty-bready Vienna malts, little detectable sweetness, some earthy-woody noble hop tones ,nice fresh aroma and true to style.
Medium bodied smooth mouth feel clean malty character.
Taste profile is on style as well...bready-toasty wiith very light sweeness in front, hops sit back, mid palate the noble hops give off heir earthy woody bittering as the clean finish dries right out and provides a small hop bite in the end.
A very good (true to style) rendition of the Vienna style, the first we have in the Ontario market at least. With a few minor tweeks this would be on par with Great Lakes Eliot Ness.
Satisfying, quenching yet flavorful with a decent malt discernment and hop bite....this is a keeper. Hope it''s not just a one off.

Siegfried Sassoon (1886 - 1967 / Kent / England)
Siegfried Sassoon was perhaps the most innocent of the war poets. John Hildebidle has called Sassoon the "accidental hero." Born into a wealthy Jewish family in 1886, Sassoon lived the pastoral life of a young squire: fox-hunting, playing cricket, golfing and writing romantic verses.
Being an innocent, Sassoon's reaction to the realities of the war were all the more bitter and violent -- both his reaction through his poetry and his reaction on the battlefield (where, after the death of fellow officer David Thomas and his brother Hamo at Gallipoli, Sassoon earned the nickname "Mad Jack" for his near-suicidal exploits against the German lines -- in the early manifestation of his ... more »

Staff Writer
(Continued from page 1)
In this Oct. 22, 2009, file photo, Maine's Republican senators, Olympia Snowe, left, and Susan Collins, are seen on Capitol Hill in Washington.
2009 file photo/The Associated Press
Here are some of the ways the fiscal cliff compromise will affect Maine:
Income taxes: Income tax rates will remain the same for everyone except individuals earning $400,000 or more and couples earning in excess of $450,000. Exact figures for maine were not available on tuesday. However, it appears several thousand of maine's 500,000-plus taxpaying "households" -- meaning individuals or families -- will see an income tax increase. A maine revenue services official estimated that less than 10,000 individuals or families in maine earned either $200,000 or $250,000, respectively, so the number affected under the current bill will be even smaller.
Unemployment: The bill will allow those who have been unemployed for six months or longer to continue to qualify for unemployment benefits next year. Between 6,400 and 7,100 Mainers would have lost access to unemployment benefits without an extension.
Payroll taxes: The bill allows a temporary "payroll tax holiday" to expire, meaning that the vast majority of workers nationwide will see their paychecks shrink by 2 percent. Congress reduced the payroll tax -- which is used to help pay for social security -- two years ago due to the recession. Maine revenue services estimated that 2 percent increase translates into $355.1 million in Maine.
Wind power: Wind energy companies received a one-year extension on a 2.2 cent tax credit for every kilowatt hour generated from wind power facilities. Maine has more than a half-dozen commercial wind energy facilities operating in the state with numerous more under development.
Spending cuts: The compromise simply delays roughly $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts for two months. There is concern about how the cuts will affect programs across Maine, from the low-income home energy assistance program to defense contractors such as the Bath Iron Works shipyard.
Snowe, who is retiring this week after 34 years in Congress, said "it was critical to reach this consensus" on avoiding broader tax hikes that could have undermined the economy and public confidence.
"Obviously there is much more work to be done on long-term debt reduction, entitlement reform and tax reform, frankly," Snowe said. "Nevertheless, the imperative of reaching of an accord also demonstrates at least some capacity to reach agreement on key issues, even if it is at the 11th hour."
For Snowe, the vote might have been the final one of her career. Snowe said the fact that the votes came so late -- after the nation had already gone off the fiscal cliff -- underscored the frustrations that prompted her to retire.
"We've had many questions that have been difficult to resolve, but never have we come up against this kind of deadline where the entire country and the world was focused," Snowe said early Tuesday morning. "And it turns out to be New Year's Eve and New Year's Day when we finally cast our votes on an issue that could have major economic consequences to the country and to most Americans."

3,000 people demand EU leadership at climate talks
by PhilLee — last modified Dec 09, 2011 04:52 PM
Yesterday Friends of the Earth International handed the head of the EU delegation in Durban a list of over 3000 people who have written in to demand strong EU leadership at the UN climate talks.
3,040 people sent a letter via our on-line action, calling on Mr. Tomasz Chruszczow and the EU to take a strong position on the following topics:
- Unconditionally support a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, the only legally-binding climate agreement.
- Agree to a legally-binding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 40 per cent domestically by 2020.
- Close current loopholes, like carbon trading, which allow the EU to keep polluting.
As the Durban negotiations are nearing a close, the EU must show the world that it is serious about tackling climate change and sign a strong and fair agreement.

Detroit Lakes on a mission to make streets more family friendlyDetroit Lakes, MN (WDAY TV) - Detroit Lakes is on a mission to make its streets family-friendly.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Detroit Lakes, MN (WDAY TV) - Detroit Lakes is on a mission to make its streets family-friendly. The city administrator says there are plenty of sidewalks and lanes along the lake, but there's no connecting path that's safe for families.
The city is looking into a cross-city multi-use path to increase recreational opportunities and be the foundation for a path connecting Detroit Lakes to Frazee. There is no easy way to put the path in, especially along County Road 6, where the shoulder varies.
Bob Louiseau – Detroit Lakes City Administrator: "We also have to be real sensitive to run off in the lake and a lot of issues like that so it's a little more complicated than just building a path."
The project is just in the works with no price tag, and no construction date in place.
