Year Round
Rhino Chasers Pilsner
Bohemian Pilsner | 5.6% ABV | 45 IBU
With a rich and dense creamy head, this crisp golden lager is clean and refreshing. Premium Pilsner and Munich malts generate a malty-sweet backbone, but the hops really make this brew stand out. US grown Hallertau and Saaz hops give rise to the spicy hop flavor and fresh aromas in this beer. Uncluttered and sharp, our pilsner relies on the basics of lager brewing: great water, excellent ingredients, solid brewing practices, and lots of patience. ( Learn More )
New River Pale Ale
American Pale Ale | 5.4% ABV | 34 IBU
Three hop additions in the boil and gloriously dry hopped; New River is an extremely aromatic American-style pale ale. The use of American Crystal and Munich malts create sweetness in the finish, balancing the hop bitterness nicely. Our blend of Pacific Northwest hops (Amarillo, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial) generates lemony, citrusy and piney aromas and flavors, with a touch of sweet tropical fruit. ( Learn More )
Face Plant IPA
India Pale Ale | 6.2% ABV | 65 IBU
A strong malty backbone balances the mountain of whole cone hops we pack into our American style IPA. Moderate grapefruit bitterness and herbal aromas take your pallet for a ride. ( Learn More )
Steam Punk
Unfiltered Amber Lager | 4.5% ABV | 28 IBU
Brewed in the California Common Style, this light amber brew has the unique flavor of a warm fermented lager and Pacific Northwest hop. In the 19th Century, California brewers were unable to control fermentation temperatures so; they were obliged to use their lager yeast at temperatures warmer than customary for traditional lager. ( Learn More )
Holy Brew Brown
Belgian-Style Brown Ale | 7.5% ABV | 24 IBU
A Belgian-style brown ale, fermented with an original Trappist strain isolated in-house. This strain, believed to be derived from the famous Westvleteren Monastery, gives this beer a fantastic aroma and complex, fruity flavor. Brewed with Caramel malts and Belgian Candy sugar, resulting in a very complex maltiness, in close harmony with the yeast derived aromas and flavor. ( Learn More )
Dawn Patrol
Session IPA | 4% ABV | 45 IBU
Our Session IPA has a crisp biscuity body that drops into bright resin and citrus zest hop notes from a bad-ass blend of varietals. Crack it at dawn and chase the day. ( Learn More )
Root Beer
Ice Breaker
American Imperial IPA | 9.2% ABV | 93 IBU
Our American-style Imperial IPA attacks your pallet with a rush of intense citrusy hop bitterness from a powerful blend of Amarillo and Columbus hops. A malty sweetness slowly emerges giving balance to its complexity of flavors. Six more weeks of winter....we think not. ( Learn More )
Final Glide
Hefeweizen Unfiltered Wheat | 5.4% ABV | 14 IBU
A Bavarian-style hefeweizen brewed with malted german wheat. The ferrulic rest in the brew schedule gives the authentic German hefe strain the potential to create these nice banana and clove phenols you'll recognize. True to style, served in our signature hefeweizen glass, a great beer for those warm summer days. ( Learn More )
Marzen Amber Lager | 5.5% ABV | IBU
With a full body, malty flavors, and a clean dry finish this amber lager is the perfect companion to Autumn's first chill. ( Learn More )
Woody Stout
Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels | 6.8% ABV | 30 IBU
from Bowman's Distillery. Roasted malts and herbal hops provide an aroma of coffee and spicy chocolate which blends with caramel and vanilla notes that are products of the aging in the Bourbon soaked oak barrels. ( Learn More )
Limited Release
2200 lbs of Sin
Barley Wine | 9.2% ABV | 96 IBU
Our American Style Barely Wine begins its journey with a warming malty sweetness from a sinful amount of pacific northwest malts. Dark fruit notes give way to an aggressively hopped herbal bitterness that lingers like the bite of a dire wolf. ( Learn More )
Zlaty Czech Pilsner
Bohemian Pilsner | 5.5% ABV | 40 IBU
Zlatý Rhino (pronounced "zlah-tee") is a classic Bohemian-style pale lager, and takes its name from the Czech word for "golden". This beer balances the delicate bitterness of 100% Czech Saaz hops against a sweet malty backbone, thanks to the use of a painstaking traditional decoction mash and long kettle boil. Zlatý Rhino is equally at home alongside a hearty meal or fueling a long night at the pub with friends. Na zdraví! ( Learn More )
My Imaginary Girlfriend
American India Pale Ale | 6.1% ABV | 73 IBU
Star Date 2012.156 Brewer's Log - We intercepted the following alien transmission: My Imaginary Girlfriend is brewed with all the HOPS and fermented in your Mom's basement. Hop additions were determined by the skill of a 4th Level Mage and the flick of his 8-sided polyhedral die. Best enjoyed before or after your favorite role-playing game. ( Learn More )
Wandering Belgian
India Pale Ale | 6.1% ABV | 60 IBU
Wandering Belgian IPA is collaborative beer brewed at Lost Rhino by DC Homebrewers Josh Hubner and Mike Stein. The beer has a bouquet of Belgian yeast-derived flavors like bubblegum, fruit ester, and subtle spice. Late kettle additions of Hallertau and Columbus hops create a lasting herbal complexity. Cascade and Saaz hops were used in the hopback, and Cascade was used to dry hop. Belgian amber candi sugar provides a touch of color and contributes to its long, dry, finish. This golden hop-forward ale is surprisingly smooth and is sure to please brewmasters and homebrewers alike. ( Learn More )
India Pale Lager | 7.5% ABV | 80 IBU
Megafauna is an India Pale Lager. It gets its hoppy character from Centennial, Columbus and Cascade hops. To appease the Lager Gods, we used Saaz and Hallertau for aroma. At 7.5% ABV and 80 IBU's it is balanced, but robust - like a Rhino on the veldt - it's graceful, but will not stand down. Megafauna pays tribute to the large animals that still roam the planet. They are rare and precious, so Lost Rhino made a rare and precious beer in their honor and in the hope that they will be preserved. ( Learn More )
Tmavy Dark Lager
Birth of Ace
An IPA designed by our alumnus brewer Alex Lynch, fermented with our house Brettanomyces bruxellensis strain isolated by Jasper Akerboom, fermented and aged for several months. The hops used in this beer complement the pineapple-aromas and fruitiness produced by the Brett perfectly. Funky, earthy and fruity, intense tartness and lingering bitterness.
Meridian Kolsch
Kolsch | 5% ABV | 25 IBU
Hop Star
Imperial IPA | 10.1% ABV | 150 IBU
Hop Star resonates the anthem of all hop heads; with it's righteously hopped brew of epic bitterness & intense hoppiness, balanced with luscious mango, it's a testament to the love of beer. ( Learn More )
Santa's Package
Belgian style Rye | 5.5% ABV | 26 IBU
Apocalyptic Ale
Belgian–Style Golden Strong | 9% ABV | 40 IBU
Genis Loci Series
Saison d'Anomalie (Genius Loci Series)
Walloon-Style Saison | 5.9% ABV | 27 IBU
Dry, tart, and earthy, with hints of citrus fruit notes.
My Tart Valentine (Experimental)
Grape/Berry infused farmhouse | 7% ABV | 25 IBU
Foxey Brown
Native Son Virginia Ale
Our first beer brewed in our Genius Loci Series. This beer is groundbreaking, brewed with only local ingredients! We used local water, hand-crafted malt from the Copperfox Distillery in Sperryville, a little bit of unmalted wheat from Billy Dawson's Bays Best Feed (the malted barley was grown by Billy too), and locally harvested Ashburn yeast isolated and tested by Jasper Akerboom. This beer was an adventure to brew, because we used all new ingredients. The resulting beer is amazing; the maltiness from the grain and the prolonged boil to get the nice color, blend perfectly with the yeast aromatics and flavors. We fermented this beer at 85 degrees Fahrenheit to push the yeast to the limit, and we are definitely rewarded. A first for Virginia!
Lost Hog
Belgian-Style Dark Ale | 9% ABV | 25 IBU
Back in 1992 as the craftbeer revolution was gaining momentum in and near our nation's capital, an enthusiastic group of homebrewers in Northern Virginia founded The Wort Hogs Homebrewing Club. From the beginning, homebrewers have had the support of craftbrewing professionals and together the pros and the amateurs have grown their numbers immensely. To celebrate and acknowledge that wonderful pro-am cooperation, Lost Rhino Brewing Company with co-founder Favio Garcia and The Wort Hogs have collaborated to brew The Wort Hogs 20th Anniversary Ale. Our Anniversary Ale is a Belgian-style Dark Strong at 9% ABV with 25 IBU. Raise a glass of Dark Strong and toast our 20 great years together and 20 more to come. Want to homebrew?

Reading and Norwich eye hitman who is set to fall behind returning Andy Carroll and new signing Marouane Chamakh in Allardyce's pecking order
Carlton Cole is fuming after being told he can leave West Ham.
With on-loan Liverpool striker Andy Carroll soon to be fit again and having borrowed Marouane Chamakh from Arsenal for the rest of the season, Upton Park chiefs are ready to listen to offers for Cole.
The club are understood to have tried to convince his representatives that his future lies elsewhere.
But Cole remains determined to stay and fight for his place.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce prefers both Chamakh and Carroll to Cole, who has scored twice in 19 games so far this season.
But Carroll has scored just once in 14 appearances for the east London club.
Chamakh scored two in four appearances for the Gunners this season - after managing one in 21 games in the previous campaign - and his departure was widely welcomed by Arsenal fans.
Reading and Norwich are both keen on Cole.
The former 29-year-old England striker moved to Upton Park from Chelsea after loan spells at Wolves, Charlton and Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Allardyce has blasted the transfer-window system.
* WEST HAM and Southampton have both made an enquiry to take Manchester City's John Guidetti on loan, writes John Cross.
The 20-year-old striker is wanted by Italians Fiorentina too, but City want him to gain Premier League experience.
Would West Ham be making a mistake by selling Cole? Have your say below

Great service , quality goods , very fast despatch with good communications at every step of the process. You might get it slightly cheaper elsewhere but if you want a reliable shop with no fuss Heinnie Haynes are for you
Heard about how cheap Blackcircles were from a colleague at work but I was a bit dubious about buying tyres online. Once I saw how cheap the tyres were arcoss the range from buget to premium I took note. I liked the onsite reviews from customers & reading the ratings for road noise, grip & wet traction Purchase & booking a slot were efficiently managed & the tyre was delivered to a local fitter on the promised date & fitted at the time I'd requested. So all in all a good experience & at a good price

Adventures in Exmouth
Adventures in Exmouth Written By: Aoife O'Carroll Aoife O'Carroll Facebook Profile Aoife O'Carroll Twitter Profile Aoife O'Carroll Google+ Profile Hi! My name is Aoife O'Carroll, and I am a content writer with Nova Car Hire. As a confirmed travel addict, my fantasy holiday of a lifetime would take in the Grand Canyon, Venice, Rio de Janeiro, Sunny Exmouth is a thriving base for tourists flocking to the Coral Coast's Ningaloo Marine Park and Cape Range National Park. Although there is little to do in the town other than swim or fish and enjoy close encounters with kangaroos, emus, and pink-chested galahs (they are birds, by the way), Exmouth is the ideal place for an intrepid visitor to set out on the adventure of a lifetime. Surf the cape, head deep into the national parks - it's up to you in Exmouth. Swim with Sharks Forget Jaws - this is the real thing. Ningaloo Reef is an incredibly rich environment for dugongs, turtles, and rays, but it is also the only place in Australia where you can swim with whale sharks. They breed in Exmouth from April to July, and you can swim next to them in complete safety with a guided tour. You'll start with a morning snorkel among the more placid marine wildlife, and then, while you're enjoying a refreshing tea break, spotter planes will locate the magnificent beasts that are the focus of this exercise. Dive masters lead you out to the appropriate spot, where you wait for the whale sharks to cruise slowly past. 4X Thrills in Cape Range National Park The 510-sq-km Cape Range National Park is a pristine landscape teeming with kangaroos, emus, lizards, and other wildlife. Magnificent plunging canyons and rugged red limestone valleys mark the Cape Range, which eventually merges into the white sands bordering pristine Ningaloo Reef. Witness the dramatic contrast between Ningaloo's beach perfection and the craggy wilderness of Cape Range. From the east coast, the park is accessible via unsealed Charles Knife Road and Shothole Canyon Road, which in turn are accessed via the Minilya-Exmouth Road. Hire a 4-wheel-drive for an adventure that takes you to such celebrated attractions as Shothole and Charles Knife canyons. A five-kilometre bushwalking trail connects the two and offers some stunning outback scenery. Kitesurfing in Ningaloo The area around Ningaloo Reef could have been designed by a kitesurfer. Dry and warm all year round, its water temperature ranges between 18C and 28C. Wind conditions remain consistent between September and February, and you can access beaches on either the east or west side of the peninsula to suit the winds. Add to that, few crowds and 260 km of protected, shallow, sandy beaches and you have the perfect setting for even the first-time kitesurfer. Abseiling & Rock Climbing With its spectacular plunging canyons and rugged red limestone gorges, Cape Range National Park is a wonderland for abseiling and rock climbing enthusiasts. Test your strength to its limits with a qualified instructor for a safe shot of adrenaline. Abseiling and rock climbing programmes take place at the Wilyabrup sea cliffs 20 minutes north of Margaret River, in the Torndirrup National Park near Albany, in the Cape Range National Park, and in the magnificent gorges of Karijini National Park.

text: home >> news LOS ANGELES ACTIVISTS DEMO BLACKROCK OFFICE Friday, 7th October Twelve activists gathered at the California Plaza for the second time in one week. As long as BlackRock has financial ties to AstraZeneca and Huntingdon Life Sciences, activists will continue to be at their door step as a constant reminder of the blood that is dripping from their greedy hands. The protest got started around noon when the activists marched up to the front doors of the building naming and shaming BlackRock for being the majority shareholder of AstraZeneca. Armed with 6 megaphones, signs, and lots of literature to educate the public, activists made sure that everyone at the California Plaza was well aware of the atrocities that happen inside of HLS. Security guards lined up in front of all the entrances to prevent activists from sticking megaphones in the door when employees were coming in and out of the building. Towards the end of the demonstration approximately 15 cops showed up on the scene because of noise complaints. But since using amplified sound at political demonstrations is legal the police were unable to do anything about the matter, activists continued to name and shame BlackRock for supporting HLS and their fraudulent animal tests. Deal with HLS, deal with us. UNTIL EVERY CAGE IS EMPTY AND HUNTINGDON IS SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD! |

Is This The Most Famous Swimsuit Of The Seventies?
When Farrah Fawcett passed away in 2009, the world paused to remember one of its favorite Angels—not to mention one of her most famous outfits. Fawcett and her red swimsuit adorned what seemed to be half the bedroom and dorm room walls of the late seventies; designer piece or not, it remains one of the iconic pieces of the decade. Now, People reports, it'll be an item to appreciate in perpetuity. Today, Fawcett's companion, Ryan O'Neal, donated the suit to the Smithsonian, along with a collection of FF miscellanea. As much as generations to come may appreciate a 1976 TV Guide, a "Farrah's Glamour Center" hairstyling toy, and some of her scripts from Charlie's Angels' first season, it's that swimsuit we'd say is most deserving of enshrinement. It's got good company in the Smithsonian's collection of National Treasures of Pop Culture: Carol Burnett's "Went With The Wind" curtain-rod dress from her seventies comedy show, Michael Jackson's hat, and Ferragamo's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
Blasblog From Glastonbury: Mud, Music, And (Yes) Sunshine
The moments leading to Glastonbury were hardly feel-good ones: There was the news, of course, about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, and to make matters worse, the weather report was among the bleakest I've ever seen. According to the trusted meteorologists at Weather.com, the English countryside would be stormy and wet all weekend. Happily, they got it wrong. It was mucky at Lady Gaga (which was why the pop princess paired her red patent-leather bustier with Wellington boots, presumably); but that was about as wet as it got. No showers at Neil Young (just Olympia Scarry on a friend's shoulders) and no mudslides at Kasabian (the band that Lily Donaldson introduced me to after she met them on a Burberry campaign shoot). The stars even came out at Bruce Springsteen's headlining gig on Saturday night—the weekend was a dream. That's Kaya Scodelario, from hit Brit drama Skins, in the middle, soaking up her own rays outside the hospitality tent, where she was a guest of Lacoste. Jacquetta Wheeler showed up on Saturday in a tizzy: She'd come straight from a job in the Catskills and was recovering from a layover that she said was one of the most annoying delays of her life. Alice Temperley's double-decker bus was our home base. It's where my first—but hopefully not my last—Glastonbury ended just as it began: with a glass of hot cider and a touch of rum in my hand.

Farrah Fawcett, Style Icon
The feathered blond hair, that smile, those tawny limbs. You know the Farrah Fawcett poster we're talking about. Your older brother and 12 million other teenage boys across the globe had it hanging above their beds during the Charlie's Angels star's 1970′s heyday. Fawcett's influence on style and fashion far outlasted the relatively brief time she spent on that iconic TV show. "Farrah hair" was a phenomenon trumped only by the Rachel 'do of the 1990′s. And designer Phoebe Philo co-opted the actress and international sex symbol's high-waisted light denim flares and braless look as recently as Spring 2004 at Chloé. Here, a brief tour through some of Fawcett's most memorable looks.

Watching `Watchmen'
October 06, 2008, 7:38PM
I have seen next year's blockbuster, and it is "Watchmen." I haven't seen the entire picture yet - just half-an-hour or so of what is promised to be a nearly three-hour movie.

The Lady Rams used a stifling defense to beat Althoff 33-22 Monday night.
Mt. Vernon held Althoff to 11 of 51 from the field in the game. Mt. Vernon's Hannah Owens held Althoff's Kymber Hill, a future Division-I player, to three of eight from the floor and six points.
"We just decided we were going to play them straight up and see if we could handle them," Mt. Vernon coach Jeff Lonnon said. "We kind of side stepped them in the (Mascoutah) tournament. We tried to play some zone and some triangle (and two)."
The Lady Rams never trailed in the game and took a 7-0 lead to start the game. Kelby Kujawa, Claire Ryan and Courtney Scarbrough all contributed to the early offense.
The Lady Rams held a 15-12 lead at halftime and behind Scarbrough's hot shooting in the third pushed their advantage to double digits midway through the quarter. Scarbrough hit all three of her shots in the period for seven of her team high 13 points. The scoring helped Mt. Vernon take a 24-14 edge into the final period.
"Our guards just found enough points to win, and Hannah just did what she had to do in the post with (Hill)," Lonnon said.
Aaliyah Palmer took over the scoring in the fourth, hitting all her attempts for six points and eight in the game. Althoff cut the Mt. Vernon lead to 28-20 after a driving basket from Alexa Wilson but never got closer.
The Lady Rams tried to repeatedly drive the ball to the basket in the game, hoping to attack the middle of the Althoff defense.
"We just couldn't get anything with our sets," Lonnon said. "We just couldn't get anything. We got a couple things early, and then I think they kind of woke up and started playing better defense. Then when that happened we just really struggled to get anything going."
Mt. Vernon is 13-3 overall this season and 5-0 in South Seven Conference games. The victory came after Mt. Vernon lost to Althoff in the Mascoutah Invitational Tournament after Christmas.

North Cyprus: An idler's idyll where soaking up the sun and sights is as hard as it gets
We'd come to North Cyprus determined to relax. No hiring cars, no charging round like Duracell bunnies, just quiet days by the pool, lazy lunches and a little gentle exploring.
Which was why it seemed so apt when my wife Alison and I stumbled upon the sleepy bar while strolling through the mountain village of Bellapais. Apt because of the name...the Tree of Idleness.
Those familiar with Bitter Lemons, Lawrence Durrell's alternately hilarious and tragic book about Cyprus in the early Fifties, will know all about the origins of the Tree of Idleness.
Lazy daze: Tourists enjoy forty winks on Famagusta beach
In the book, Durrell describes living in Bellapais and immersing himself in the ways of the village, notably whiling away whole days talking and drinking with the menfolk under a large mulberry tree.
The locals called it the Tree of Idleness and, according to Durrell, it was the reason why Bellapais men were regarded as the laziest in Cyprus. So when we pitched up outside the bar bearing the tree's name, its lure proved irresistible.
Seeking out a table under a mulberry tree (yes, really!), we ordered cups of strong Turkish coffee, then sat back to watch the world go by.
A sense of peace permeated the place, punctuated only by the occasional click of dominoes from the table of weather-beaten old men opposite. Even the bar owner appeared to be asleep. Bliss.
Easy does it: Despite endeavouring to do nothing, Derek and Alison, below, did manage to visit Bellapais Abbey
To be fair, we'd found ourselves unwinding from the moment we checked into the intimate Bellapais Gardens hotel. Our two-storey villa was one of 17 set in the beautiful grounds.
On the ground floor was a seating area and bathroom; upstairs our bedroom and a fantastic balcony.
From here we could gaze down on the port of Kyrenia and the sparkling Mediterranean. Above us soared the massive medieval walls of Bellapais Abbey, perched on a rocky outcrop, and at its foot, amid orange, lemon and fig trees, nestled the pool.
Bellapais Gardens operates a no-children policy, which meant we could relax and enjoy reading without any raucous shouting and splashing. The hotel restaurant is regarded as one of the finest in North Cyprus, not only because of the quality of the cooking but also the views from its terrace.
The evening we ate there could not have been more perfect. With the illuminated abbey providing a backdrop, we feasted on octopus carpaccio and squid stuffed with prawns followed by chef Selim's superb moussaka and a lamb kleftiko.
In a half-hearted attempt to burn off some of those calories, we set off the following morning to explore Bellapais village on foot. On the way we passed a group of hikers as they set off up the steep trail to St Hilarion Castle, one of three fortresses that once guarded the coast against marauding Arab pirates.
I was briefly tempted to join them, for the walking in the Kyrenian Mountains is rated the finest in Cyprus, but opted for a cool beer instead – more in keeping with our holiday's theme.
We did, however, summon the energy to visit the abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with soaring vaulted cloisters and a remarkably preserved refectory.
Still standing: Should you stir yourself for another excursion, the ancient ruins of Salamis await
I spotted bullet holes in one of the walls, which I took to be relics of the 1974 conflict that led to the creation of the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. Only later did I discover they were made in the late 19th Century by British soldiers who used the room as a shooting range.
You'll find Durrell's house at the top of a steep, winding lane. A plaque above the door tells you that the writer lived here but it is unremarkable from the outside, having undergone a tasteless renovation some years ago.
Don't be disheartened, though; continue 50 yards up the lane until you reach the Gardens of Irini, surely the quirkiest bar in Cyprus.
Here, in a cool, shaded courtyard, you can enjoy a drink (homemade lemonade, or the lethal brandy sour – if you're feeling brave) while proprietor Deirdre Guthrie entertains you with stories from her extraordinary life – of growing up next door to Durrell ('The door to Larry's house was always open; I was in and out all the time and he would talk for hours') or of her career in the Sixties as a flamenco dancer.
Inviting: Kyrenia boasts a bustling and pretty harbour
From Bellapais we took a taxi (£6) into Kyrenia and spent a pleasant morning exploring its medieval castle and the bustling harbour, lined with restaurants and bars. But seek out one of the cheaper backstreet eateries and you'll eat well for £10 a head – North Cyprus, unlike the Greek-controlled South, is not in the eurozone and prices are much lower.
For the second part of our trip we headed to Famagusta on the east coast where the sharp-lined Arkin Palm Beach Hotel, all glass and minimalist decor, offered a different – though no less luxurious – experience to the Bellapais Gardens.
The hotel possesses an ambience designed to soothe the senses. Each morning we awoke to the sound of waves lapping the private beach, and when we emerged for breakfast on the terrace it was always bathed in sunshine.
Most evenings, too, it remained balmy enough to eat outdoors even in November. In the mornings after breakfast we'd stagger the few yards down to the beach to read and swim.
From here you can see the most enduring symbol of the island's division – the abandoned beachfront hotels of Varosha, once a playground for the rich and famous and now a ghost town under the control of Turkish and United Nations troops.
Afternoons invariably saw us heading into Famagusta old town to stroll on the ramparts and meander through its warren of narrow streets, stopping for coffee and cake. A 20-minute taxi ride north of the town stands evidence of even older civilisations.
The ruins of Salamis, including a partially restored 15,000-seat theatre and public baths, date mainly from the Roman period but other finds have revealed that the Greeks, Phoenicians and Egyptians were here, too.
Yes, North Cyprus has been regarded as a special place for thousands of years. Go there and you'll see why – and if you find yourself in Bellapais, call in at the Tree of Idleness and let it work its magic.

Pros – Very little time watched over, freedom to set your own hours, schedule, and even set your own sales. If you suceed, corporate for the most part will leave you alone. A ton of free stuff from vendors, and points for tools for the pro:)
Cons – Pay is terrible, as a stylist only guaranteed $7.25, as Manager only $8.25. Work crappy mall hours, work like a dog to make more money.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

IATA's DG & CEO called for global standards to be at the heart of framework for ASEAN single market in Singapore on 11 February
Press Release No.: 18
Date: 23 May 2012
Beijing —The International Air Transport Association (IATA) encouraged China to continue to develop its air transport sector by ensuring sufficient capacity based on global standards and best practices.
Air transport plays a critical role in China's economic development. "China is looking to increase its share of world trade from 10.4% to 15%. Aviation connectivity will be critical to making that happen. Already it is prioritizing investments in airport and air navigation infrastructure. The challenge is to keep pace with rapidly growing demand, based on the global standards which underpin safe and efficient global connectivity," said Tony Tyler, IATA's Director General and CEO at the China Civil Aviation Development Forum 2012 in Beijing.
Tyler noted that China already ranks highly for the size of its air transport industry: second in the world for domestic passengers, seventh for international and fourth for international cargo. "But this is only the beginning. Of the 877 million additional global air travelers expected to fly in 2015 than in 2010, more than 212 million will be on journeys within or connected to China," said Tyler.
Tyler highlighted two priorities to enable China to realize this growth potential:
Infrastructure Capacity: Tyler noted two areas for infrastructure development:
Global Standards: "Global standards are at the heart of aviation. They enable airlines to connect our planet safely and efficiently," said Tyler, citing specifically the role of global safety standards in making China one of the safest places to fly. Tyler noted that IATA is in a dialogue with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to align China's charges for infrastructure with global standards. "Our goal is to arrive at a charges structure that is competitive and in line with global best practices and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Today, China's air navigation service charges are among the highest in the world. The price of fuel is also among the highest–it is estimated that airlines pay a premium of over $400 million annually to refuel at Chinese airports. Bringing those costs in line with global levels will benefit Chinese carriers more than any others and will thereby help to make them more competitive. We also need to eliminate the differential in charges between Chinese and foreign carriers that is unacceptable under ICAO policies. This move will also help Chinese carriers improve their competitiveness by forcing them to compete on a more level playing field," said Tyler.
EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
Tyler also addressed the thorny issue of the EU ETS.. "China is in the front line of state opposition to Europe's misguided plans to include international aviation in the ETS. The regional approach will distort markets. We believe that the EU's unilateral action is in contravention of the Chicago Convention. And I fully understand why China views this as an attack on its sovereignty. Nobody wants a trade war. We continue to urge a solution through the ICAO process," said Tyler.
"I have been very clear in my communication with the Europeans that it's not a viable bargaining position for the Directorate General for Climate Action to keep relentlessly saying that Europe has no option but to implement without compromise. We all want a solution that is global. ICAO is working on four options. Europe must be a sincere participant in those negotiations," said Tyler.
Tyler concluded, "I am confident about China's aviation future. There is tremendous growth potential and an industry working with government to achieve it. In a few weeks' time we will invite the aviation world to Beijing for our Annual General Meeting. Working alongside the Chinese industry and the Chinese government I see IATA's relationship with China as a partnership—navigating through the challenges and building tomorrow."
The IATA Annual General Meeting will take place in Beijing from 10-12 June.

Derwent Water, one of the Lake Districts most picturesque lakes, is just south of this market town.

Kewsick if full of interesting historical facts, even the local tourist information centre has historical interest. It is located in the fascinating Moot Hall which used to be the town hall. Tourism is at the heart of the majority of Kewsick businesses, however the graphite mining and resulting pencil industry is still going strong. The Cumberland Pencil Museum and the worlds largest pencil can be visited in Keswick. The towns annual film festival is another big attraction, more that 3000 visitors attended in 2006.

For cultural needs, Keswick is home to the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum, a collection of celebrity cars from television and film. Alternatively. Keswick Museum and Art Gallery is a Victorian museum with the Musical Stones of Skiddaw on display. A little known fact, Keswick is the first place in the UK where police used riot gear

College Continues to Grow
Thousands of students have recently graduated with college degrees all over North Central Florida.
And in Marion County, one college is graduating more students than ever before.
The College of Central Florida was recently named among the top 10 percent of colleges in the nation according to the Aspen Institute.
A total of 561 students walked the stage just last week, making it their largest graduating class since the college's inception in 1957.
The college primarily serves 18 thousand students in Marion, Citrus and Levy Counties. 62 percent of students are women.
"We are continuing to grow," College President, Dr. James D. Henningsen told TV20. "We've had record enrollment, almost, the last five years, up fifty percent."
The college recently added two bachelor programs.
A Business and Organizational Management degree with several specific concentrations and a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education.

JULIA Gillard is preparing for another opinion poll bruising tomorrow which will likely strengthen the chance of a leadership challenge.
The last Newspoll on February 3 showed Labor's primary support had plunged six points to 32 per cent with that of the coalition strengthening four percentage points to 48 per cent in three weeks.
Labor sources say no one has declared they want to move against the Prime Minister and that the most prominent possible contender, Kevin Rudd, had said in public he would not challenge and would not allow himself to be drafted.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said today Ms Gillard would continue to the September 14 election.
"So my proposition is that Julia Gillard has and will continue to make decisions in the interests of this nation 20, 30, 50 years on through our education reform, through putting a price on carbon, through the National Disability Insurance Scheme," Mr Emerson told Sky news.

She has been a total and absolute failure and has clearly demonstrated she cannot be believed. Add to this the long list of failed and costly Policies she has insitigated along with the failures of many of her chosen Ministers (let us not forget the Speaker Slipper debacle also ) and we must conclude she is unfit for the Position of Prime Minister It follows that the Labor Party is also unfit to be in charge of the Country and must go as soon as possible I feel for Kevin Rudd who the only one in the whole Party who is not beholden to the Unions .If I were he I would uncouple from the Labor losers and either contest the next Election as an Independent or go over to the Opposition . He would still win his seat with ease

Rudd & Gillard = Dumb and Dumber of Brisbane Posted at 2:07 PM February 25, 2013
Dead right. These clowns wouldn't be able to run the country i they had superman in their party. The entire party id flawed with ex union baffoons that have no credible business experience and have led us from a very prosperous nation wthin a handful of years into a debt ridden society. Rudd and his people started it then gillard and her band of morons have not only completed the disaster but have multiplied the waste ten fold. I can't recall looking back over history a governement with a worse performance. Rudd is not the answer he is some social media geek freak who thinks he is cool and may appeal to some niaive people. BUt even labour voters realise now the damage both he and gillard have done becuase it is everones standard of living which has dropped. Incompetancy at its worst and neither of them have the qualities tobe a leader nor the business skills and neither does any of the bungling idiots in their party. The independents should hang their head in shame for allowing this rubble to continue on jsut like the greens. The reight thing to do 3 years ago was to have another election to allow the people to vote who governs not a handful of throw ins. Bring on an election.

Just to quote a bit first... "And your answer is but shouldn't she be responding to polls? The Australian people want a tough and resilient leader who has a vision and the national interest at heart". What is Julia Gillard's plan exactly? Tax a few things, barely hold her political party together and see how things go? If you want a plan, look at the linked article. At least Tony Abbott has a plan. http://www.news.com.au/national/tony-abbotts-bold-water-plan-leaked/story-fndo4bst-1226577466336

Stevano of Hobart Posted at 2:22 PM February 25, 2013
The only thing we want to hear from Gillard is "I, as leader of the hard labor party, hereby step down ahead of the election knowing full well I can no longer guarantee the Australian people prosperity into the future. Instead I can only offer them debt from my carbon tax deal, debt from rising electricity prices, debt from my failure to stop the boats and more debt from bankrupt government. For this I sincerely apologize."
Comment 12 of 62
David of Brisbane Posted at 2:22 PM February 25, 2013
What gets me is why is Kevin Rudd so popular and people want him back as leader?. Rudd was undoubtably the most incompetent PM this country has ever had (Labor knew it which is why he was sacked) It would be an absolote disaster if Rudd came back and won the election as there is more to doing the role of a PM than just lip service, cliches, rhetoric and tweets. Australians surely must be the most inept people when it comes to choosing a PM.

Mutual adoration wankers. Let's them go through the tunnel.

Well done to Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott. I think we can be proud as Australians that both sides of politics, love them or hate them, are no Tea Party or other extreme. And a special thank you to Xenephon, Katter, Windsor, Oakshot. You've done your best. Would that parliament was all independents and no major parties.

Mr Emerson on the same jaded spin - and post the election when the people have spoken and it confirms what we are saying right now. It will be interesting to then hear his spin - or maybe he will take the best alternative and be silent. The country just cannot afford 20plus weeks of this miserable campaign - somethinng needs to give...

Part of Craig Emerson's reply "And your answer is shouldn't she be responding to polls. The Australian people want a tough, resilient leader who has a vision and the national interest at heart, that's what Julia Gillard offers." Well Mr Emerson you don't listen to your Prime Minister as she has stated that she takes no notice of the polls. As for what she offers and what we get, they are two different things, we don't appear to have a Prime Minister that has the national interest at heart, just her own. Amazing, the 3 worst Prime Minister Australia has had were all Labor, Whitlam, Rudd and now the worst of the worst, Gillard. I have a birthday in September, just before the election day, what a belated birthday present I will have. I don't drink alcohol, though, I might just this one time.

Julia and Rudd are banking on the stupidity of their labor voters. I wouldn't be surprised if this is all part of a strategy engineered by labor (including Rudd and Gillard) to trash Gillard so much and finally install Rudd as the party saviour with the expectaion the dumb arses will vote for Rudd in the upcomming election. Its a strategy and I suspect the majority of you morons will be sucked in, leaving us with Labor for yet another term....god forbid, wise up people!

Last time; Rudd led labor, won the election, and then was knifed. Australia then has suffered with worst PM ever in Juliar. Now with massive defeat coming, the idea is to put Rudd back as leader? WHAT? Try and win the election, remove him again, then put Juliar back in. Well voters wonât fall for that deceit ever again!!!

AresIdenT of here Posted at 3:01 PM February 25, 2013
She may be "...a tough and resilient leader...",as Craig Emerson said, but, in her desperation to win she is narrowing the Labor base, taking us back to the union/class warfare of the 1950s and toying with the racist politics of the U.S.A., where the Democratic Party deliberately targets one ethnic group and plays it off against another. That is not Australian and we need to stop aping the Americans.

I've been hearing a few friends and others at social occasions lately saying how tired they are with life here. Some plan to leave in the next few years. Common complaints were the cost and challenges of running small businesses and the high cost of things from housing to food and entertainment. The way Australia is going now with stretched infrastructure and government mismanagement will make things interesting in another 10 years.

Philo of Brisbane Posted at 3:03 PM February 25, 2013
Wow al the lib staffers don't have much to do today, we need a party that has business experience, ok bit stuck on that one with Abbot, a failed minister is a great business leader hmm, Rudd was the worst pm we have ever had, again hmmm we survived the worst financial crisis to not only affect us, but also to affect so many countries at the same time, would we have been as the Libs said sit on our hands and watch your entire superannuation savings disappear over night, your property devalue down more than 50%, unemployment to rise from 4.5% to over 12% and the list goes on. I am pleased we had the government we have and the the positive things that needed to be done, so easy to criticise, shame when it comes to facts we seem to suffer from dementia and follow what is almost exactly as written from the pages of newspapers themselves.
Comment 52 of 62
Richard of Melbourne Posted at 3:03 PM February 25, 2013
Responding to AlanS, The independents know in their hearts that when an election is finally called, they will probably lose their seats as the electors probably did not elect them to become puppets for the Labor party.

I never thought I would say "thank you Julia", but I have to this time. On Saturday I helped organise a charity event in aid of the McGrath Foundation which was hit by monsoon conditions. Four Under 9 cricket teams had no cricket to play but thanks to Julia we sheltered under a school covered outdoor learning area, kept dry, and raised almost $5,000 for a wonderful cause................just a shame that the cover probably cost ten times what it should have done, otherwise a lot more money could be saved by Juliar and not wasted

If people think a change in leader is going to fundamentally change a party and their policies that much, then people really don't understand politics at all. They would rather have their ears tickled with the blah blah blah, and no auction. Wake Up Australia, how gullible are You?

Lou Dean of Sydney Posted at 3:09 PM February 25, 2013
Steve/Peter and the rest who think 'the grass is greener' - and you think Abbott is the answer? A right wing, and somewhat religious party led by a populist arch Conservative? Whilst I'm actually a traditional Lib voter, I can't stand the 'easy answers' route Abbott has chosen for that party. He has convinced this nation they are on the edge of a precipice (we actually survived the GFC unlike so many others) whereas the opposite is the reality...!

"...a tough and resilient leader..."? I would think "stubborn and arrogant" is a more appropriate description. Why is it considered "tough and resilient" to stay in a job where you are not welcome? A decent person would have stood down a long time ago. Regardless, Rudd won't be challenging unless he is completely mad (which is a possibility). There is no way he will want to preside over the biggest Labor landslide loss in history. Besides, wouldn't we prefer Julia stayed until then so we can show her what we really think? Sneaking out the back door is the easy way out.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Yet another problem has cropped up preventing some Windows Phone 7 users from getting two software updates, adding a new chapter to the update saga that started in February.
Microsoft acknowledged that some Samsung Focus owners in the U.S. haven't yet received notification that the updates are available for them. "They're looking into the situation, but I'm afraid there's not much to report yet," wrote Michael Stroh, a Microsoft employee who is answering questions posted to the comments section on the Windows Phone blog.
On another Microsoft forum, some Focus users who haven't received the updates noticed that they have a more recent build version of the phone. While people with version REV 1.3 have gotten the updates, some of those with REV 1.4 haven't.
In addition, Stroh said that Microsoft has stopped sending updates to the Omnia 7, a phone available in Europe. "The team discovered a technical issue with the update package for this model. The work of fixing and testing the package is nearly done, and the team hopes to resume update deliveries soon," he wrote.
These are the latest issues to plague Microsoft as it tries to send out new software to Windows Phone 7 handsets. Microsoft started in February by pushing out software designed to make the update process smoother. It pulled that update shortly after because it made some Samsung phones unusable.
The company then delayed the first update of substance, known as NoDo, which adds the capability to cut and paste, to try to avoid similar problems. It is now pushing out both pieces of software simultaneously.
In the U.S., the software is being delivered to all phones except the HTC Surround, according to a status page from Microsoft about the process. The updates are being delivered in most international markets as well.
