Wind is main impact expected from SandySuperstorm Mon.-Tues.; most rain to our northeast, most snow to our west
First off, here is the current position and projected track of Hurricane Sandy. Not much has changed over the last 24 hours. Because Sandy is represented by one of the white circles meaning "extratropical" long before landfall, the National Hurricane Center is electing not to issue any further tropical advisories north of the current tropical storm warning that ends at the North Carolina-Virginia border. This is causing some controversy in the weather online world, as many think people will pay much closer attention to hurricane warning than they will gale or high wind warnings. But it is what is.
Locally, we will see effects from Sandy gradually pick up on Sunday — some northerly breezes getting a bit stronger, perhaps a few showers pushed west from her toward the approaching cold front. With Sandy curving away from the coast before turning back, though, don't be surprised if Sunday is a pretty nice day, maybe peeks of sun and highs in the 60s (yes, I think they'll probably get in the race at Martinsville). The effects will increase when the trough catches the extratropical-former-Sandy and turns her into SandySuperstorm near the coast Monday, moving inland by Tuesday. High wind, big waves and heavy rain will be occurring near the coast.
For Southwest Virginia, here are potential impacts, especially in Monday-Tuesday timeframe:
WIND: Gusty winds are a given with this setup. How strong and how long are the questions. The National Weather Service issued high wind warnings for the high peaks of Grayson County and adjacent northwest North Carolina for Sunday night, but suggest in discussions that additional high wind watches, warnings or wind advisories are likely to be issued elsewhere. The 12 European model showed tightly packed isobars — lines of equal pressure — over our region (and much of the Eastern U.S.) on Tuesday morning. (It also shows cold air in blue streaming around the low — which might help snow spread farther east — more on that below). The tighter these isobars are packed, the stronger the winds. Right now, based simply on model estimates, it would appear winds may peak in the 20-30 mph sustained with gusts in the 40-50 range over most of the area, but it's certainly possible that, Tuesday in particular, there could be a bit stronger winds than that. A long-duration gusty wind event like this would cause trees and limbs to break in many places, and likely cause sporadic power outages. Those could increase to more widespread outages if some of the higher wind speeds are realized. Northwest winds blowing over our mountains tend to be chopped into waves which can crash downward and cause local high wind speeds, even into valleys. There are higher winds just above the ridgetops that could be forced downward through some dynamic processes, but those are NOT expected by the weather service at this time. It is a situation that will have to be monitored for extremes, but 2 or 3 days of gusty winds will be likely across all of Southwest Virginia.
SNOW: You can think of the snow aspect of the SandySuperstorm as a winter upslope snow event on steroids. Upslope wind flow — northwest winds circulating around the storm center's as it tracks westward through Pennsylvania or Maryland — will be the primary mechanism for heavy snow in the mountains of West Virginia and far western and southwestern Virginia. But instead of tapping Great Lakes moisture, rich moisture of tropical and Atlantic Ocean origin will be wrapped around the center, and as it is squeezed out in the lift against the mountains, snowfall could very well be measured in FEET in the 3,000-plus elevations near Snowshoe Mountain. Winter storm watches are out for several counties in that area — NWS-Blacksburg added Greenbrier County, W.Va. to the list today. The ridges west of Interstate 77 in Virginia may also get a heaping helping of snow, and lower elevations through there may at least be turned white. The high mountains along the Virginia-West Virginia border in Giles, Craig, Alleghany, and Bath counties may also be in line to get rounds of snow squalls that can collect. The big question mark is farther east, through the New River Valley, the Blue Ridge, even the Roanoke Valley and a bit farther east — those areas do fall in the HPC's 10-39 percent "slight risk" zone for 4-plus inches. Even "normal" upslope events sometimes have squalls with enough lift and upper-level support to keep going farther eastward — Blacksburg/Christiansburg area is often a recipient of these, sometimes even the Roanoke area. Also, with this low, it is possible that an arm or two of much thicker moisture will be wrapped around the storm well to the south — some models have been showing this. If that happens and can encounter enough cold air getting pulled into the storm, measurable snow COULD extend farther eastward in Virginia. The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center places a 30 percent chance of 1 inch or more of snow in the 24 hours before 8 p.m. Tuesday well into central Virgina. So there remains quite a bit of uncertainty on snow, especially considering that temperatures just above the surface may be a few degrees above freezing in much of the area, and that ground is warm and will be hard for snow to stick to UNLESS it comes down hard and/or at night when direct solar radiation isn't present. For our region, I would say solid snows of at least 2 inches in the higher mountains near the West Virginia line, and a good chance most other locations see at least some flakes on Tuesday, possibly mixed with rain the lower you are in elevation. Accumulations at least on grassy areas are possible IF heavier snow can develop in squalls spilling over from the typical upslope areas and/or larger areas of precipitation swinging around the storm system. For the Roanoke Valley, if there isn't white on the ground by mid-Tuesday morning, it's not going to happen. Highs will creep into the 40s from here eastward.
RAIN: Here is HPC's map for totals related to Sandy, and I'll be honest, it seems a little overdone in the Ronaoke area southward. The bulk of the rain is going to rotate north and east of us, and we'll be in a noticeable rain shadow (snow shadow, at times) east of the spine of the Appalachians as some moisture rotates behind the storm. Maybe the HPC map makers just had a hard time depicting the rather rapid dropoff of amounts from north to south through our area. Most of our showers with Sandy may rotate through on the backside, possibly mixed with snow, Monday night and Tuesday. Rain is probably not going to a big deal with this storm here — unfortunate in some ways, as we're a little dry. To our west, some of that thicker moisture will fall as wet snow, not rain. You can see why West Virginia may get some really big totals.

Mr. President,
When I assure you of the pride and satisfaction which my delegation feels in addressing the Security Council in the name of the 14 member states of the Caribbean Community on the Question of Haiti, and express my gratitude for the invitation extended to do so, I do much more than pay homage to a convention of this august body. I feel that I am discharging a family obligation, since Haiti is a member of the Caribbean family. We sit in the same regional Councils, working together toward the same regional goals and objectives, and therefore naturally share a common view of the importance of this consideration by the Council of the situation where Haiti is concerned, and a common expectation regarding its outcome.
Mr. President,
The Secretary General deserves commendation for the wide-ranging, frank and substantive assessments contained in the Report he has presented in Document S/2009/129 on the progress of the effort to implement Resolution 1840 during the period August 27 2008 to February 27, 2009. In that Report we see clearly the enormous complexity of the situation in Haiti and the many challenges facing the effort to consolidate Haiti's stability, and lay a foundation for security and sustainable long-term development. These processes were further complicated by the series of tropical storms and hurricanes which ravaged the country during the reporting period, and later by the effects of the global financial and economic crisis. Mr. President, while there is certainly no room to minimize or downplay the seriousness of the factors that still hobble the stabilization effort in Haiti, in like manner we should be careful to discern, and give their due worth to, the creativity, perseverance and sheer grit through which we see hopeful changes emerging on the Haitian panorama. I refer to the area of establishing political dialogue, the extension and strengthening of the authority and reach of the state, and of the rule of law, for example.
For sure, these are achievements of the Haitian authorities and people, who deserve our recognition. But a great share of the credit also goes to the men and women of MINUSTAH for their dedicated, patient and constructive involvement in providing assistance and support to the people of Haiti over a wide range of areas critical to the re-establishment of conditions of stability, such as the provision of security assistance to the electoral process, enhancing institutional capacity, promoting and strengthening security, reducing violence, enhancing Police capacity, the enjoyment of human rights among others. The Caribbean Community expresses its sincere appreciation to MINUSTAH for these valuable contributions by them.
But, however encouraging these improvements may be, the Secretary General is careful to note their fragile nature. While the task of making them more robust is the responsibility of the Haitian authorities and people, the international community has a duty to support them in this effort. In this regard, the Caribbean Community supports the convening of the High Level Donor Conference to lend support to the implementation of the National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction Paper. We look forward to strengthened unity and cooperation among the Haitian people, and the creation of conditions of greater security and stability in the country. In our view, these would offer the best promise of a meaningful and productive partnership between the Haitian authorities and the donor community in order to ensure that the country is helped onto a path of sustained economic recovery.
Finally, Mr. President, the Caribbean Community wishes to thank the Secretary-General for his report and for his recent visit to Haiti. We strongly endorse his appeal for the international community to continue to focus attention on the provision of much needed assistance to Haiti. We also wish to express sincere appreciation to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG), Heidi Annabi, for his leadership of MINUSTAH and for the comprehensive report that he provided to the Council.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children attended for about 3 years off and on; the teachers need to work on their attitude and tactics concerning the children. Parents need to be careful
my daughter has been attending there for 3 yrs. there're bunch of activities she can join. good opportunity for talented & gifted students. just built a student council organization this year. PTA seems active. teachers have good teaching methods. principal is quite active but not a smiley person. building is newly remodelled. nice location.
Parent Involvment seemed low, however test scores seemed acceptable. Teacher involvement with the students and their concern for the students dissapointed me.
My child has attended this school for 2 years and she had one of the best teachers there are. The principal needs to work on her attitude towards the parents of other races but overall it is a great school.
I attended this school during its first two years and am very glad to see that it's doing well. It's a wonderful school and I hope it continues to be.

Clayton County Police say a fatal shooting at a Conley Road townhouse complex Saturday may have been drug-related.
Just after 2 p.m., Saturday, police responded to the incident at the Lexington Square townhomes, located at 1625 Conley Road, Conley. Police said they found Onterio Perez Dorsey, 30, of Forest Park, lying between buildings 28 and 29. He had been shot once in the side, and later died as a result of his wounds, according to Clayton County Police Spokesperson Lt. Rebecca Brown. Detectives believe the shooting was the result of a "drug deal gone bad," according to Brown, and have called on the public to assist in identifying suspects in the case. "It happened in an area where we have had complaints before of drug deals going on," said Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner. "We will continue to increase our patrols in that apartment complex." Turner said he encourages residents to continue to report suspicious activity. "We definitely need their involvement," he said. "We need them to continue to partner with us in order to clean up the area." Anyone with information in the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (404) 577-8477. Callers can remain anonymous. - Linda Looney-BondMore like this story

General Health
Many people are finding that they feel better on a gluten free diet, and not just the people who have Celiac Disease or a Gluten Sensitivity. People report increased energy levels, as well as a better ability to focus. That tired slump after eating lunch? Going gluten free might help that, too. Many people report that "over-full" bloated feeling disappears after going gluten free.
Why, though? Well, there are as many theories on that as there are fish in the sea. The most common one is that gluten is hard for your body to digest, which causes that feeling of tiredness. So when you avoid gluten, that excess energy can be diverted elsewhere, rather than your digestive system.
The biggest reason to go gluten free when not medically required to is simply because there is no downside to doing a gluten free trial, provided proper nutrition is maintained. And you might feel better than you would have thought possible.

Is TED a scam?
Who attends these meetings or whatever it is you guys call them? How does this organization qualify as a non-profit?
Just wanted to clarify...maybe I am wrong. Some input would be great.
1. How can you charge people 75 dollars (knowing certain people cannot afford that) and then claim its a non-profit trying to help the planet?
2. If I am wrong...and TED does do something amazing...what is it?

Michelle Shaprow - Ferris Wheel
Album: Purple Skies
Visto: 49 veces
Dont you ever think about the past
First is on a summer night when you thought it would last
Days down by the ocean take me slow
Or if you are by the promenade then you really must go
On the Ferris wheel everything is fine
And the sky is clear is nothing in your way
Dont you ever cancel your plans?
To seat on the top of the world just chill holding time on your hands
Hey you where are you running to? Why are you hiding away?
Stop right there dont go no further
Stop where you are
There are some things we should do today
Take the Ferris wheel
everything is fine
And the sky is clear is nothing in your way
On the Ferris wheel
We can take our time today
I know how you feel
You wouldnt have to say
Thanks to feel

Labour market to open to foreigners from more states
Prague, Feb 3 (CTK) - The Czech Republic's labour market will open more to foreigners as the number of countries whose citizens will be allowed to apply for the Czech green card, a permit for long-term residency and employment, will increase, Czech Television (CT) has reported.
Green cards could be obtained by foreigners from 12 countries until now. But the number of countries whose citizens can apply for the card will grow by further 52, including Asian states, in the future, CT said.
The extension of the list of countries eligible for green cards will probably start to take effect as of February 2013. Further changes will be discussed next year.
People from selected countries outside the European Union have a chance of obtaining a job in the Czech Republic if the vacancy is not filled by a worker from the EU within a month.
This offer has been used by around 400 foreigners since 2009 when the Czech Republic started to issue green cards.
It is difficult to anticipate whether interest in green cards will grow after the list of eligible countries increases, Stepanka Filipova, spokeswoman of the Labour and Social Affairs Ministry, said.
"In any case, we can say that the number of vacancies that can be used for green cards is gradually increasing," Filipova told CT.
Critics among employers say it is too complicated to get workers to the Czech Republic as part of the green card procedure and it does not work in practice very well, CT said.
"The way the system works Sunday is too lengthy, it is a big problem for companies in terms of time and administrative requirements," Confederation of Industry head Zdenek Liska told CT.
Interior Ministry spokesman Vladimir Repka said the problem lies in lack of interest among foreigners as well as employers, and in the current economic crisis.

purchase this and im all set to rid the block of anoying ass techno ravers. the music is so loud theyd never hear it comming
And yet no one understands how we end up killing ourselves while doing stupid things.
next time i read the comment section i hope there are less people saying :"nwxt time i read comments i hope there are less people saying "next time I read the comments section I hope there are less lame comments"
nwxt time i read comments i hope there are less people saying "next time I read the comments section I hope there are less lame comments."
 I wouldn't let my kids do this with their RC chopper.... Unless I was a redneck. Then I would demand it.
 not much of a threat until you solve the noise problem. The deb's are greater than the gun.
at least their names are on the video, so the police know where to look. it'd be both terrifying and hilarious if this thing just flew up to you on the street.
 This will be discovered to be the mysterious murder weapon in next season's CSI episode
Gather six of your closest friends, 3 cases of pabst blue ribbon, and its game on. REDNECK ROULETTE, Oh hell yeah
 The Canadian Army issued a statement the other day. Something about a missing helicopter.
You again! we dont want your sweatshop knock off shoes, just send us your women pre-paid shipping
If it were built in Canada, it would have a big rubber schlong on the front of it. So would the toaster.
Last time I checked, there was no law against outfitting a remote control helicopter with a .45 caliber pistol and firing it in a secluded area.
your use of the word ignorant is ignorant chickentit, and im pretty sure 1812 was directly stated in havocs comment kockmann
Burn it down, that's just plain ignorant and so are you. Who supports your glue habit anyway?
yes canadians would use something stealthy and inexpensive to get the job done, go nuke japan. dumb yank

How can I handle command-line arguments (options) to my script easily?
Well, that depends a great deal on what you want to do with them. There are several approaches, each with its strengths and weaknesses.
Manual loop
This approach handles any arbitrary set of options, because you're writing the parser yourself. For 90% of programs, this is the simplest approach (because you rarely need fancy stuff).
This example will handle a combination of short and long options. Notice how both "--file" and "--file=FILE" are handled.
1 #!/bin/sh
2 # (POSIX shell syntax)
4 # Reset all variables that might be set
5 file=""
6 verbose=0
8 while :
9 do
10 case $1 in
11 -h | --help | -\?)
12 # Call your Help() or usage() function here.
13 exit 0 # This is not an error, User asked help. Don't do "exit 1"
14 ;;
15 -f | --file)
16 file=$2 # You might want to check if you really got FILE
17 shift 2
18 ;;
19 --file=*)
20 file=${1#*=} # Delete everything up till "="
21 shift
22 ;;
23 -v | --verbose)
24 # Each instance of -v adds 1 to verbosity
25 verbose=$((verbose+1))
26 shift
27 ;;
28 --) # End of all options
29 shift
30 break
31 ;;
32 -*)
33 printf >&2 'WARN: Unknown option (ignored): %s\n' "$1"
34 shift
35 ;;
36 *) # no more options. Stop while loop
37 break
38 ;;
39 esac
40 done
42 # Suppose some options are required. Check that we got them.
44 if [ ! "$file" ]; then
45 printf >&2 "ERROR: option '--file FILE' not given. See --help\n"
46 exit 1
47 fi
49 # Rest of the program here.
50 # If there are input files (for example) that follow the options, they
51 # will remain in the "$@" positional parameters.
This parser does not handle separate options concatenated together (like -xvf being understood as -x -v -f). This could be added with effort, but this is left as an exercise for the reader.
Some Bash programmers like to write this at the beginning of their scripts to guard against unused variables:
set -u # or, set -o nounset
The use of this breaks the loop above, as "$1" may not be set upon entering the loop. There are four solutions to this issue:
Stop using -u.
Replace case $1 in with case ${1+$1} in (as well as bandaging all the other code that set -u breaks).
Replace case $1 in with case ${1-} in (every potentially undeclared variable could be written as ${variable-} to prevent set -u tripping).
Stop using -u.
Unless it's the version from util-linux, and you use its advanced mode, never use getopt(1). Traditional versions of getopt cannot handle empty argument strings, or arguments with embedded whitespace.
The POSIX shell (and others) offer getopts which is safe to use instead. Here is a simplistic getopts example:
1 #!/bin/sh
3 # Usage info
4 show_help() {
5 cat << EOF
6 Usage: ${0##*/} [-hv] [-f OUTFILE] [FILE]...
7 Do stuff with FILE and write the result to standard output. With no FILE
8 or when FILE is -, read standard input.
10 -h display this help and exit
11 -f OUTFILE write the result to OUTFILE instead of standard output.
12 -v verbose mode. Can be used multiple times for increased
13 verbosity.
15 }
17 # Initialize our own variables:
18 output_file=""
19 verbose=0
21 OPTIND=1 # Reset is necessary if getopts was used previously in the script. It is a good idea to make this local in a function.
22 while getopts "hvf:" opt; do
23 case "$opt" in
24 h)
25 show_help
26 exit 0
27 ;;
28 v) verbose=1
29 ;;
30 f) output_file=$OPTARG
31 ;;
32 '?')
33 show_help >&2
34 exit 1
35 ;;
36 esac
37 done
38 shift "$((OPTIND-1))" # Shift off the options and optional --.
40 printf 'verbose=<%s>\noutput_file=<%s>\nLeftovers:\n' "$verbose" "$output_file"
41 printf '<%s>\n' "$@"
43 # End of file
The advantages of getopts are:
- It's portable, and will work in any POSIX shell e.g. dash.
It can handle things like -vf filename in the expected Unix way, automatically.
It understands -- as the option terminator and more generally makes sure, options are parsed like for any standard command.
- With some implementations, the error messages will be localised in the language of the user.
The disadvantage of getopts is that (except for ksh93 getopts) it can only handle short options (-h, not --help) without trickery and cannot handle options with optional arguments à la GNU.
There is a getopts tutorial which explains what all of the syntax and variables mean. In bash, there is also help getopts, which might be informative.
There is also still the disadvantage that options are coded in at least 2, probably 3 places - in the call to getopts, in the case statement that processes them and presumably in the help message that you are going to get around to writing one of these days. This is a classic opportunity for errors to creep in as the code is written and maintained - often not discovered till much, much later. This can be avoided by using callback functions, but this approach kind of defeats the purpose of using getopts at all.
For other, more complicated ways of option parsing, see ComplexOptionParsing.

Argentina calls William Falklands 'conquistador'
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina said it doesn't seek another war over the Falkland Islands, and accused Britain of militarizing their sovereignty dispute by announcing Tuesday that it is sending an advanced warship to the islands along with Prince William "in the uniform of a conquistador."
The assignment of Prince William, a Royal Air Force helicopter pilot, for a six-week military mission in the Falklands in February and March has been a sore point for Argentina. It has sought to reclaim the South Atlantic archipelago that it calls the Malvinas Islands ever since Britain seized the islands some 180 years ago.
Both countries have engaged in a war of words in recent weeks ahead of the 30th anniversary of Argentina's failed attempt to take the islands back. Its invasion ended with more than 600 Argentine soldiers killed and 200 British dead in an international humiliation for Argentina's military junta....

Pours much more amber than the "ruby red" that is described on the label. A thin, wispy head leaves a little lacing.
The smell is of caramel with very light toast and a touch of earthy hops.
The taste is of caramel, light toast with a bitter-ish finish. A bit of alcohol shows.
It has a malty smoothness to it and reaches medium-bodied.
An interesting, enjoyable American interpretation of an "Irish Red" - a bit hoppy and more alcoholic than traditional but it works for a different slant on the style.

Appearance: pours a clear amber orange color with a 1" head that slowly falls. Spotty lace develops.
Smell: light fruity aroma is all you can detect.
Taste: caramel, bread, ripe fruit sweetness, some hints of toasted nuts, and a moderate bitterness nicely balances the sweetness.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Lightly crisp from start to finish. Aftertaste is brief and short-lived.
Overall: a very quaffable ale that is refreshing and hits the spot.

Poured into DFH footed pint glass; clear amber with a two-finger white head that falls after a bit into a cap/ring of foam.
Smell is toasted malt, some crackery sweetness.
Taste is simple and follows smell...toasted crackery malt, slight herbal hops in the end to give a slight crispness to the finish.
Mouthfeel is thin and slick, clean.
Overall, a tasty Irish Red. I can't remember what others of this style I've had, but this is a good beer.

this is a great lakes brew i have never had before. so i had to try it!
Conway's Irish ale.$8.99 6pk bottles.(OH)
12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
freshest taste date clearly marked.
poured a nice amber color. with a 1.5 finger head that rather quickly left a decent ring of lacing around the glass.carbonated just right, nice amount of bubbles from the glass etching.pouring it i did notice it was not as thick as some other GLBC brews.
it has a beautiful fruity, yet toasted malt smell. at first appearance it doesn't smell like a 6.5 abv brew.
the flavor is very smooth and inviting. you can taste the toasty and fruitiness that cant hide.medium bodied beer with a great toasty flavor and a slight warmth on the finish, and aftertaste.
the mouth-feel is as i thought, not watery but not as heavy as some other of their brews. the smooth coppery feel kind of reminds me of their Christmas ale.
overall a great beer by any means. however i did not enjoy it as much as other great lakes brews. that could be because GL couldn't make a bad beer if they tried.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Pours a brilliant amber with a frothy tan head that lingers as a thin layer of foam.
Aroma is floral hops, light fruity specialty malt character, with a toasted malt base.
Flavor follows suit, with underpinnings of fruity malt character turning dry and bready mid palate, finishing with just a hint of bitterness. That malt fruitiness dominates.
Body and carbonation are moderate, with light alcohol warmth at the finish.
I'm not a huge malt fruitiness fan, but this at least has a nice malt backbone for support.

Best by 3/21/14. Poured 2/16/14.
Appearance: Poured aggressively, but no head really to speak of. Perfectly clear copper color. No lacing to be seen. Looks decent. (3.5/5)
Smell: One of those brews I don't have a chance of accurately describing. It just smells like beer. No specific fruit, no significant, out-of-place hoppiness, not a massively overpowering malt aroma... just smells like a balanced mix of hops, barley, yeast. All I can really add is that it offers a "red" aroma. The smell indicates that the flavor will be more maltier than hoppier. (3.5/5)
Taste/feel: Strange. I swear, I'm tasting a combination of vegetables. Potato skin, celery seed, tomato juice... the beer description mentions Conway as a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, and this beer does truthfully have a cabbage soup sort of flavor (I can assure you this is not from the glass, by the way.) Entirely unexpected, considering the aroma gives no suggestions of that. Malt, a barrage of vegetative flavors, and then the aftertaste is a super subtle roasted "red" flavor. Thin initial mouthfeel that gets a bit thicker in the mouth (that's what she said). Medium carbonation at best. A truthfully strange beer in that it has some, again, very unexpected flavors. (3.5/5, 3.5/5)
Far from GLBC's best. It's an alright beer, but likely not one I'd pick up again. I don't hate it though, not at all. I'd definitely enjoy this with nothing else available.

A- came out of the growler a beautiful ruddy brown with a nice thick creamy white head. There is a moderate retention and some lacing.
S- mild, with some nice biscuit aromas
T- the flavor is rich and malty with just a hint of hops bitterness on the finish. There isn't really anything distinct, but it is good.
M- thinner, no noticeable carbonation, a little bite from the hops

Nice orange-amber color with small white head and minimal messy lacing. Aroma and flavor are predominately amber malts, with no bitterness and a slight sweet fruitiness. Rich flavor, crisp and clean, with a light mouthfeel. 6.5% abv is completely masked and very easy to drink. Pretty good overall.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a traditional pint glass.
Pours a pretty amber color. Very minimal head and almost non existent retention. A slight, continual, carbonation.
Very minimal nose, disappointingly. Malt is the over-riding smell, with a slight roasted malt aroma. Almost smells like bread.
Maltiness again is the dominant factor, as it should be for the style. Toasted barley, very little bitterness. Bready with a sticky sweetness.
Sticky sweet mouthfeel. Good body, flavors linger.

A: Pours a amber-rust color with a tan head which dissipates into a ring around the glass fairly quickly.
S: Smells of caramel and malts dominate the aroma of the beer.
T: A sweet caramel, and malty flavors dominate early with a well balanced accompaniment of hops with just a bit of bitterness to balance the flavor.
M: An initial bite of carbonation is felt in the mouth but that is quick to end leaving a clean feeling on the palate.
O: Overall this is a good beer weather it is one that you want to have with a meal or sit on the couch on a Sunday and drink while watching a few games. I would definitely drink this again.

Poured from a 12 fl. ounce bottle into a pint glass. Best by date of 3/25/2014.
Appearance: Clear orange-red body with a respectable head. Not the best lacing I've seen.
Smell: Bready grains. Smells a lot like a loaf of beer bread (If you've ever made it you know what I am talking about). Minor floral notes try to break through.
Taste: Sweet grains up front. Floral bitterness from the hops are there, they are just struggling to fully break through. Very malt heavy. Buttery toffee comes through in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Moderate carbonation. Very smooth. Very drinkable but the abv suggests that this would not make the best session ale. Semi-dry finish.
Overall: This just seemed like an underwhelming Irish Red Ale. It certainly was not bad, but there are better examples of this style. The complexities were present, they just failed to balance this one out. Worth checking out if you are unfamiliar with this style.

My favorite Irish/Red Ale of them all. So smooth and easy-drinking. Yes, I am quite biased in favor of Great Lakes Brewing Company because one of my best friends worked there for nine years and I've spent many a fine afternoon/evening at the place. But my preference for GLBC beer is primarily because the beers are almost always outstanding. Cheers!

Conway's Irish Ale....is good. The label is awesome! Great Lakes is probably the best thing to come out of Cleveland since the Browns left for Baltimore. This beer pours a nice amber with no head and no lace. The scent is mostly caramel malt with biscuits. The taste is nothing remarkable or noteworthy...just solid. It is well balanced from start to finish. The mouthfeel is medium in body with so so carbonation. Overall it is a decent sessionable beer and worth a try.

This review was taken earlier this year the day it hit shelves here. It's a brew I've had multiple times(roughly 15-18 bottles) over the last few years. With the seasonal lineup changes going on at GLBC of late I want to get this into my review log.
12 oz brown bottle with the usual GLBC style labeling. This particular label displays Mr. Conway himself in his officer uniform. One of the things I appreciate most from GReat Lakes is their way of doing their bottlings In way that doesn't pay much attention to bright and flashy colors. Sure, I love that, but I enjoy the GLBC style all the same. Simple and black bordered labeling with a focus mainly on the quality of the liquid inside. I poured this into a Standard tall style 12 oz mug.
A - orange. Ruby orange we'll say with the slightest touch of amber red. Head was a shade of white leaving a nice semi sticky ring of lace. Not the most impressive of heads but it left enough to make for a very nice looking Irish ale.
S - very simple and down to earth aroma. Caramel malt make up the main piece with some herbal characters and some near fruity hops displaying touches of orange and softer dark fruit. A lot like plum. Aroma carries a sweet character due to the big punch of caramel in the front.
T - more of that bit caramel malt backbone with fresh herbal hops. Hop notes are soft and really just flow without any serious bitterness. Less dark fruit than in the nose, but a good dose of lemon and orange jump up from no where. Clean finish with more sweetness. Wonderful Irish sweetness.
M - pretty creamy texture and comes off a lot thicker to me than maybe it does to some. Simple medium body is refreshing and extremely drinkable. A beer you can have more than one of at any time. It carries some sweetness but its perfectly setup and nothing about it is crazy or too much of any one note. Exceptional balance and texture.
O - a truly underrated ale in today's craft beer world. A real hallmark on the roots of GLBC and what they are about. This Irish ale gets back to the basics of crafting exceptional brews and with the kind of stuff that's being created in the U.S. right now we sometimes forget these simple yet brilliant ales. This is reviewed based on what they accomplished with the idea they had. This wasn't intended to start a new trend or be an insanely flavored giant. This is the basics of brewing and done perfectly. Sometimes a beer doesn't have to be a 9% abv brew to get a high rating. I applaud beer like this done right.

Conway's Irish Ale
Reviewed from notes from the Spring. 12 oz poured into a standard pint.
Appearance: Short white head with a red/amber color. Once the head dissipates, the surface looks slightly oily. 3.5/5
Smell: Not particularly strong. Grainy scent with a little hops. 3/5
Taste: Malt first, somewhat toasty and very clean. Easy to drink with a little bit of hops on the tail. Was surprised to see this was a 6.5% brew. 3.5/5
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body, light to medium carbonation with a slightly oily feel. 3.25/5
This is a little underwhelming for Great Lakes, but overall it's not too bad. Easily sessionable. 3.5/5

Rusty, sunburst orange throughout with an otherwise nice clarity that's obscured by a gentle, yeasty haze. The head grows quickly and recedes not quite as fast; eggshell colored and fluffy as all hell, it leaves a few sheets of lacing on the glass, though they are pretty fast to run down back towards the top of the beer.
Hmm, wow, the nose is just a bit different than any other brew I've smelled before; perhaps (and most likely) because I haven't had too many Irish red ales. Malty sweet with rich caramel and buttery toffee aromas at capacity, followed up by a lighter, yet integral proportion of lightly fruity and somewhat grassy hops. Toasted malt is the key player here, and I would assume that the hops may be more aggressive when this beer is a bit fresher; I'll admit that it's just a little bit past its prime now.
Well, the nose wasn't lying; Conway's Irish Ale is a malty bomb that lays the pipe as soon as it hits your palate. Coming out a bit more robust than the aroma, the flavor smacks you with some faintly metallic caramel malts - sweet, rich, toffee-like, and toasty. Lighter bready flavors bring up the rear; somewhat buttery and toasty with a touch of burnt grains and graham cracker.
The hops are there, and even for being a touch over-the-hill, they still balance the malty sweetness nicely; a nice round of slightly floral and grassy hops roll through the flavor profile, hand-in-hand with an orange-like fruit juiciness that can't go unnoticed. Mildly bitter, enough to counteract the sweetness, but not enough to scrape any enamel away or anything like that. The finish lends a hand to some slightly nutty and woodsy, toasted malt flavors for a warm, dry finish. Thicker bodied than you'd expect with a mild stickiness that adheres to the sides of my mouth; a little cloying and teeth chattering in this respect.
One of my first of the style, I enjoyed it a bit, although I know I'd get tired of it after one bottle (much like I did this time around). The intense caramel and toffee malts are nice at first but can be a touch overwhelming after twelve ounces. Tasty brew, no doubt, but one is certainly enough for me.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into into a snifter. Acquired from a friend who visited Ohio. Best by date is 4/15/13 but I've kept this refrigerated so it should be pretty fresh.
A- Pours a ruby red, ever so hazy body with a tiny white head that reduces fairly quickly. Leaves very little lacing.
S- On the first whiff I got some caramel and yeast, somewhat raw. Straining to smell more, I get caramel, toffee, sweet almost fruityness.
T- Toffee and sweet caramel upfront, progresses into a nutty and roasty flavor. The aftertaste is somewhat fruity, grapes and citrus. Subtle flavors but they work quite well.
M- Medium-light body, super refreshing with medium carbonation. Super drinkable.
I don't drink many red ales but was pretty impressed with this one. If this were distributed in my area it would definitely be in my refrigerator as a go-to beer.

Smell: bread and fruit. not very interesting or complex but still pleasant
Taste: bread, caramel malts, fruit such as sweet apples, slight earthy hop, maybe some toastiness, very complex and slightly better at a 15 minutes out of the fridge temp.
Mouthfeel: unbelievably smooth. slightly dry, touch of hop bitterness, slight warm. again impressively complex and this time perfectly done
Overall: drinking this i went back and forth if it was good/great. I ended up at great. its near the end of its freshness (~20 days away) so I want to try it fresh next year but this beer is another great one from Great Lakes

Very clean in appearance there was a swiftly fleeting and wispy head that set atop a bright rusty red hue.
The scent favors a caramel and toffee sweetness. Dry kilned barley couples with a pecan nuttiness and very faint chocolate malts.
The flavors are rich with kilned barley and an almost smoky taste. I catch touches of roasted malt with hints of nut and caramel sweetness, plus I get a finish of hop bitterness. The taste and feel are dry.
The bottle indicates its about three months old, which should not be old enough to lose its Pop. The flavors are good but I feel like if it were at its freshest this could be more robust.

4.16/5 rDev +9.2%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured from a 12 oz bottle, served in a nonic pint glass.
A- A good pour reveals a full inch and a half of frothy white head covering a transparent burnt orange body.
S- The aroma is bready malts with some saltine cracker notes. A lot going on here, from cashews, to caramel, to hops.
T- Surprisingly malty even though the nose was malty. This beer is very different as to how the taste arrives on the palate. The flavors comes in late and quickly, but the are fairly sweet and refreshing. Just barely enough hops to balance it.
M- I would absolutely love the feel of this one if it was just a bit more carbonated. Super drinkable, however. Silky smooth.
O- A great beer to keep you on your toes and awaken all your senses.

3.45/5 rDev -9.4%

This brew pours a red/brown color with a white one finger head which dissipates rather quickly; minimal lacing on the glass.
The smell is heavy with sweet and roasted malts, some carmel and a little orange also the smell is dank and earthy.
The taste quickly moves from malt sweetness, orange, carmel to tangy hop bitterness. The various tastes seem to hit all at once and that makes it hard to appreciate the individual flavors.
The mouthfeel is really tangy thanks to the high carbonation, there is also a cracker like feel to this brew.
Overall this is a good session beer, a little to tangy for my tastes. The sweetness in the smell does not come through in the taste and the whole thing has the carbonation level of soda. Not bad but this could be better.

3.4/5 rDev -10.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Pours a big, soft, off-white head that collapses down nicely to a fine head. Aroma is biscuity, sweet, a touch of caramel, and a touch of hops. Nice light-amber color. Starts sweet with notes of caramel and hop bitterness. Builds to a medium-low bitterness, then the malt comes back with a vengeance. Smooth, slightly sweet biscuit in the finish, a touch a caramel, and a faint lingering of grassy/grainy hops.
This isn't too bad. It's a really excellent balance of sweet malt and hops. I'm not really digging the slight caramel aspect to it, but it's still well done.

3.26/5 rDev -14.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - poured from bottle into chalice. Dark orange color with red tint. Nice one finger head, left pretty quickly but the lacing is real nice.
Smell - grassy, plant smell. Some wheat/straw. A hint of sweetness which smells floral.
Taste - ok. Seems to really be missing a strong flavor.
Mouthfeel - ok
Overall - not my favorite from Great Lakes, actually I think this one is my least favorite. Still an ok beer tho.
