Very few isues
The team were great in dealing with me when I had to change my dates of my holiday due to illness. They were excellent in changing everything & keeping me informed. Only problem I had was with the excursions I had booked, They were using a new company & the "template" they were using to inform you of dates and times were very confusing as they had included optional tours as well, but didn't say that on any of the paperwork though. To be fair, they did admit that they needed to revisit it & make it more clearer. This was my first time of using the company & I expect it won't be my last.

'Alien horned' dinosaur roamed earth 80 mln years ago
Paleontologists have discovered fossils of a new 2-ton, 20-foot-long horned dinosaur in Canada that roamed the Earth about 80 million years ago.
The dinosaur, a distant cousin of Triceratops called Xenoceratops foremostensis, is one of the oldest specimens known to date of the ceratopsid group.
The beast's name, Xenoceratops, translates to "alien horned-face," referring to its strange pattern of horns on its head and above its brow, and the rarity of such horned dinosaurs in this part of the fossil record.
"It seems to have the general types of ornamentation that we see taken to even greater extremes in later ceratopsids," Huffington Post quoted David Evans, a paleontologist at the Royal Ontario Museum as saying.
"That suggests the elaborate headgear evolved earlier," he said.
Xenoceratops (meaning "alien horned-face") had massive spikes at the top of its head, two hooks jutting from its forehead, and a ruffled shield around its neck.
In 1958, paleontologist Wann Langston Jr. discovered fragments of three skulls (now known to belong to Xenoceratops) in a rock formation in the badlands of Alberta, Canada.
Though the area is now scrubby woodlands filled with hoodoos and sandstone hills, between 77 million and 90 million years ago, the dinosaur's stomping grounds were part of a river system filled with lush vegetation.
Xenoceratops was about the size of a rhinoceros - about 20 feet (6 meters) long including the tail - and weighed about 2 tons, Evans said.
The dinosaur used its birdlike beak to graze on the cattails, ferns and flowers in primeval river deltas.
The species most distinct feature, however, is its spiky head: Two hooks jutting from its forehead, two massive spikes rest at the top of its head and a frilly shield adorns its neck.
The new species helps fill in a gap in the evolutionary record, Andrew Farke, a paleontologist at the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology in Claremont, California said.
The stags of the dinosaur world, male Xenoceratops probably used their outlandish headgear to show dominance or impress the females, increasing their odds of reproducing, Evans said.
The findings are published in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (CJES).

Three Reasons Why Twitter's Vine is the Future of Content Marketing
Yesterday Twitter's CEO Dick Costolo tweeted a six second video clip of himself making steak to his 1M+ followers.
This is a big deal to many because it was using the tech behind Vine, a video sharing startup acquired by Twitter.
It should be a big deal to content marketers everywhere because it's a glimpse into the future.
Doing content marketing well means not only organizing and controlling tone/message, but also getting it seen by others. As I've already posted here, journalists are at the top of the food chain when it comes to generating a ...

In his recent Predictions & Unpredictions for 2013 blog post, our CEO Matt Blumberg talked about how brands' marketing and security functions will need to join forces to fight phishing.

Yahoo Mail Users Hit by Widespread Hacking, XSS Exploit Seemingly to Blame (Update: Fixed)
Late last night reports started coming in suggesting that Yahoo Mail users have had their accounts hacked. While "hacked" is a very broad term nowadays, it does appear that Yahoo email accounts are being compromised after users click on a malicious link they receive in their inboxes.
Update at 6:20PM EST: Yahoo says it has plugged the security hole in question as detailed at the bottom of this article.

Marketing Lessons From A Mr. Grinch
"He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas, he thought … doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!"
The holiday shopping blitz certainly started early this year. In fact, I think I may have seen the first Christmas ad in store as early as October. The positive side of this -- maybe those marketers are just trying to keep Christmas all the year.

A Students Guide To Learning Spanish Vocabulary
Welcome! The staff at LOFOTEN certainly hope you'll find this guide on increasing your list of basic Spanish words helpful. Should you have any questions please contact the director of languages in the main office building on campus.
1. Introduction
Most "teach yourself Spanish" courses are designed with the adult learner in mind and assume that you have no prior knowledge of Spanish whatsoever.
The information is based and presented around real life situations that most tourists would expect to encounter on a holiday experience abroad. This is not to say that the material is wholly unuseful to the more serious language students among you. All learning is valuable when it comes to a foreign language. For example, many useful resources can be found for free such as this page for how to learn Spanish words and phrases.
The goal of any self-study course should be to firstly give you a solid understanding of the structure of the Spanish language and secondly to provide you with enough vocabulary that you will be able to express yourself in basic, everyday conversation.
2. The Four Essential Aspects To Language Learning
a) Listening and comprehension
b) Speaking and communication
c) Reading
d) Writing
Of these 4 aspects the ability to understand Spanish when it's spoken to you and the ability to express what you want to say in return are by far the most imporant and useful.
3. Spanish Vocabulary
Studies show that we still understand very little about how the human mind acquires vocabulary but what we do know is that it's important to combine regular contact with the language and to only concentrate upon learning words which are actively being used the most.
It's common for over ambitious students to want to learn quite obscure words such as "pine trees" or "boat rudder" however you efforts will be much better rewarded by sticking to learning a core set of Spanish vocabulary, the kind of words that you see in magazine interviews are an excellent example of active vocabulary.
In certain circumstances there is a valid reason for learning specialized vocabulary such as if you were taking Spanish guitar lessons for example and needed to know the names of the various parts of the guitar. Obvsiously these would not be words worth learning for ordinary conversation but the student would find them used very frequently in their own personal situation while interacting with a teacher.

Gato Barbieri
Gato Barbieri
Gato Barbieri is the second Argentine musician to make a significant impact upon modern jazz -- the first being Lalo Schifrin, in whose band Barbieri played as a teenager. His story has been that of an elongated zigzag odyssey between his homeland and North America. He started out playing to traditional Latin rhythms in his early years, turning his back on his heritage to explore the jazz avant-garde in the '60s, reverting to South American influences in the early '70s, playing pop and fusion in the late '70s, only to go back and forth again in the '80s. North American audiences first heard Barbieri when he was a wild bull, sporting a coarse, wailing John Coltrane/Pharoah Sanders-influenced tone. Yet by the mid-'70s, his approach and tone began to mellow somewhat in accordance with ballads like "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" (which he always knew as the vintage bolero "Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado") and Carlos Santana's "Europa." Still, regardless of the idiom in which he works, the warm-blooded Barbieri has always been one of the most overtly emotional tenor sax soloists on record, occasionally driving the voltage ever higher with impulsive vocal cheerleading.

The odds of Cedar Rapids getting a casino could hinge on the definition of "not devastating."
Those are the words Steve Gray used in a meeting with our editorial board Thursday to describe the impact a Cedar Rapids facility would have on existing nearby casinos. Gray, CEO of ImOn Communications and three other firms, is among the leading local investors in the $80 million to $100 million project.
The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission looks at a lengthy set of criteria before deciding whether to issue a gambling license, a list that includes a successful countywide referendum. That's a big hurdle, but it may not be as difficult as convincing commissioners that they can live with "not devastating."
Because, in recent years, there has been no bigger factor in halting gambling expansion in this state than the notion that new casinos would "cannibalize" business from existing ones. The market in Iowa, according to the experts the commission consulted back in 2009, is largely saturated.
In May 2010, when the commission granted a license to the far northwest reaches of Lyon County, it sacked proposals from Ottumwa, Fort Dodge and Tama. Commissioners pointed to evidence that Fort Dodge and Ottumwa would each pull business from existing casinos. Tama's bid was dogged by financing issues.
On that same day in 2010, commissioners shut the door on more licenses for at least three to five years. Gray, fellow investor Drew Skogman and their Des Moines attorney Doug Gross believe, after talking with some commissioners, that the panel will be ready to listen in 2013.
"We're comfortable that we'll get a fair hearing," said Gross, who won the Republican nomination for governor in 2002 and is a former chief of staff for Gov. Terry Branstad.
Gray says "not devastating" means that a Cedar Rapids casino would not threaten the solvency or viability of other casinos, according to an unnamed consultant hired to analyze the market. Existing casinos wouldn't suffer cash flow issues or be forced to fire workers. So "not devastating" is not exactly sunshine and roses for nearby casinos. They'll take a hit. Just not a fatal one.
Smartly, local investors are trying to pitch their project as something different, a potentially less threatening "urban" casino without its own hotel. It's not a big-draw resort. It's meant to attract local gamblers who now drive out of town.
It may help. So would a wide referendum victory. But breaking into a casino cartel that's more interested in its profitable comfort than allowing more competition is going to be very difficult. Much will depend on the quality of the local project and the skillfulness of the pitch.
The dumbest idea I've ever heard of; building a gaming casino and enlarging the entertainment district right next to the police station. The proximity alone should scare people looking to relax and have a good time away.
I find it interesting, though not surprising, that these seemingly high-flying investors seem to lose sight of economic conditions. Up-scale shops and a casino are great, but if unemployment continues to remain high, and those with money are spending less of it, who's going to support these lofty ventures? It's likely to be people who can least afford it, much like the lottery, only on a grander scale so they can lose what little money they have more quickly. Now, I'm not implying that by not building a casino you're saving people from themselves, although there could be some merit to that argument if I were so inclined. There's only so much gambling money out there, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow isn't likely to be as big as these guys believe. If the venture goes bust, are these three going to pay off creditors, employees, etc., or will it be just another corporation that folds and writes off the entire mess? For that matter – what do you do with such a grand building if that happens? Call me a fatalist, but I think in the end, the only people who will come out okay on this will be the investors, regardless which way it goes. Everyone else will likely wish they'd have stayed home.
You obviously don't understand the concept of investing. These four groups want pony up some cash, let them. If it fails, they will loose their investments. Not sure how you think they will come out "ok".
Personally, I'm tired of the government telling me what I can and can not do. Anyone that uses the excuse that this should not happen to "protect the people," should stay out of other people's business. This city has been crying about needing money for flood protection, well here you go. If investors wan to risk their money on this project, who are we to say no when the city needs flood walls.

How to Experience TSA PreCheck with Nine US Airlines
Even if you only fly every once in a while you�re probably somewhat familiar with TSA PreCheck. It�s the program that allows for speedy screening, and you can even leave your shoes on, laptop in the bag, and keep your belt around your waist.
It�s an option for those who are on the list for existing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs like Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI programs. However, not so fancy flyers are also eligible�and often just by opting-in through their frequent flyer number. Here�s the scoop on the nine domestic carriers that are doing the TSA PreCheck�assuming you�re at an eligible airport:
· Alaska Airlines
The information from Alaska Airlines seems a little outdated, as they still reference the whole TSA PreCheck thing as a �pilot.� It seems like eligible frequent flyers would have received an email inviting them to opt-in, but if not head into the My Account section of your profile on alaskaair.com. Once there�assuming you�re eligible�you will you will see a link across the top of the page inviting you to opt-in for shoes on screening.
· Allegiant Air
Nope�if you�re flying with Allegiant you�re going to need to do the security screening thing the old fashioned way
· American Airlines
Like most carriers you need to be a member of the airline�s frequent flyer program, so go ahead and sign up if you haven�t done so already. Next head over to aa.com, and make your way into the My Account section of the site. Check your personal information and password, and then go ahead and check the box to opt-in to participate in the TSA expedited screening program. When you check-in you�ll see whether you made the cut or not right on your boarding pass.

What to Make of the TSA's New Airport 'Exit Pods'
If you�re flying into Syracuse this holiday season there�s a special new surprise from the friendly folks over at the TSA awaiting your arrival. The security screening is pretty much the same on the way into the airport, but there�s a unique new featuring for those existing�or attempting to exit�the airport.
Call them revolving doors, exit pods, transportation devices, or whatever you want, but basically there�s a new one-at-a-time mandate for those looking to depart the airport. Step inside when the robotic voice welcomes you to do so, and then the pod thing will open up on the other side letting you outside towards freedom. Some might say that this is practically being detained as you exit the airport, but we just call it yet another slowdown and an inconvenience.

Holy Cow, Does TSA's Behavioral Screening Program Have Issues
Stories in travel journalism - in any kind of journalism, really - begin as news, then migrate over to commentary, and then eventually become meta-commentary. Sufficiently vicious and prominent meta-commentary gets treated as news, and thus does the circle of life turn.
So for instance, coverage of the recently published report on TSA's behavior profiling program began as news. More specifically, it began as news that the program spectacularly sucks. You'll remember this as the system that sought to supplement pat-downs with "chat-downs" in which screeners would ask you really specific questions and then guess - based on your reactions - if you were doing something suspicious. TSA called it Screening Passengers by Observation Techniques - SPOT - and they spent roughly one billion dollars on it. A recent report by the Government Accountability Office indicated that it works only "slightly better than chance." Opps.

Four US Airports are Already Rocking Awesome New Automatic Passport Kiosks
Word to the wise: automated immigration kiosks are the new hotness. These machines process the passports of US & Canadian citizens in a matter of seconds (minutes, if there's a line), and we foresee it one day pushing the Global Entry program to the curb. Oh, and it's free.
How to use the kiosks:
Simply roll up to one, scan your passport page, confirm that the screen has your ID and arriving flight info correct, tap to answer "no" to the usual "are you bringing anything weird into our country?" questions, and a camera snaps your photo and prints a receipt of the transaction. Show that receipt to a man in a booth (no waiting!), he'll stamp your passport, and you're free to enter baggage claim. You'll finally yield that receipt to the customs inspection officers after baggage claim, with minimal bother and no queuing.
Who's got them:
As far as we know, there are four US airports with immigration kiosks up and running for holders of US passports. They are:

Southwest Adds TSA PreCheck Just in Time for Busy Holiday Travel
Good news for frequent flyers, as another carrier has joined in on the TSA PreCheck fun. In case you�re not familiar with the system, basically you consent for the airlines and TSA to know a little bit more about you through your frequent flyer number. Then at the airport�if selected�you can go through an expedited screening line. Here you usually get to leave your shoes on and keep your laptop in its bag, so it�s win-win for frequent travelers.
Now things are a go for the flyers over at Southwest Airlines, as the carrier is the latest to adopt the TSA PreCheck procedures. This is kind of big news, as Southwest is the country�s biggest domestic carrier. All those travelers should go along well with the system, as TSA PreCheck has made its way to around 100 airports. Those lucky enough to get the go ahead for the better security line will get confirmation within their boarding pass, as the text "TSA PRE" will appear in the upper left corner the paperwork.

Europe On Track to End Air Travel Liquids Restrictions, While USA Shuffles Feet
In 2010, the TSA was actually putting up signs at security checkpoints promising that "future advances" in x-ray technology would let them play around with the restrictions on the amount of liquid travelers can carry on board planes.
Fast forward to 2013 and we still have liquids restrictions on U.S. flights. Meanwhile the EU regulations which were set to expire in 2013 are - wait for it - actually expiring. We don't know if the decision is deliberate or the result of laziness, but either way European airports will now let you carry shampoos onboard airplanes. Small victories, ladies and gentlemen, small victories.

Say Hello to the Airport Security Checkpoint of the (Near) Future
We�re not sure if this is the future of airport security here in the nifty fifty, but the changes that are taking places in Charlotte and Dallas are certainly something that we can support. Think more comfortable spaces, better signage, and even places specifically intended to use for slipping your shoes back on.
If you�re looking to check things out for yourself you need to make your way to�or through�checkpoint E at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Things are being sponsored in part by SpringHill Suites by Marriott, so a lot of the touches are things you would normally see at one of their hotels. Of course the advertising is just part of the new setup, but there are some new comforts as well.

TSA Workers Busted for Giving Themselves Raises for No Reason
It's becoming a very complicated end of the week for travel politics surrounding TSA. Today's shooting at LAX is going to trigger a bunch of investigations and questions, and we're probably going to have to revisit the old debate over whether long security lines make travelers safer or more vulnerable.
While all that's going on, the airline security agency is also facing questions over corruption and efficiency. The Washington Times yesterday published the results of a Homeland Security inspector general report on how TSA employees managed to secure "premium pay and other costly benefits" without being entitled to those perks. Apparently the trick wasn't particularly complicated: they just promoted themselves, except without doing anything else. The final extra cost to taxpayers was estimated at $17.5 million.

5 Ways to Kill Time in a Long Customs and Immigration Line
When traveling internationally, even if your flight gets in on time, you still need to budget an extra hour on the ground after you land for the dreaded customs line (Unless you are a member of Global Entry returning back to the States, then you can skip this part...and this post.)
Not only is the line often long and slow-moving, you're not allowed to use your cellphone, not even to play Candy Crush, er, flip through your sightseeing photos. So what can you do while you wait to have your passport stamped? Here are few suggestions. Add yours in comments below!

The Newest TSA Rumor Sweeping the Internet
Long-time Jaunted readers will remember a somewhat contentious comment thread from a year and a half ago, in which we wrote about a video made by anti-TSA blogger Jonathan Corbett showing how to defeat an old kind of full-body scanner. It started off as a more or less routine post: we criticize both TSA security theater and full-body scanners when they need criticizing, and that was one of the times they needed criticizing.
Except there were many people - not a few of them from the conspiracy fringe where people imagine that TSA is a United Nations plot to bad touch grandma until she gets PTSD and starts drinking fluoride - who got grumpy because we noted that Corbett's trick probably wouldn't work on TSA's new gingerbread man scanners. Those people wanted to believe that a blogger had just defeated all of TSA's scanners, because that would absolutely prove that the government was screening people for no reason, and so that's what they believed. Never mind that it simply wasn't true.

We Used an Automatic Passport Kiosk and Loved Every Second of It
Pardon the slightly blurry photo, but we're beside ourselves with excitement.
Those new self-service passport processing kiosks slowly appearing at US airports to speed the re-entry process for US citizens are a godsend, and we can finally say so from experience. Already the machines are installed at Chicago-O'Hare and Dallas/Ft. Worth Airports, but encountering them ourselves at New York-JFK last week was an eye-opening surprise. It knocked our usual 40 minute wait time down to an impressive 40 seconds.
Located in Terminal 4, whose passport control area often erupts into airport hell after the arrival of foreign A380s, the 40 new kiosks were turned on October 15 to welcome travelers holding US passports...for free!
How do you use it? Well, simply roll up to one, scan your passport page, confirm that the screen has your ID and arriving flight info correct, tap to answer "no" to the usual "are you bringing anything weird into our country?" questions, and a camera snaps your photo and prints a receipt of the transaction. Show that receipt to a man in a booth (no waiting!), he'll stamp your passport, and you're free to enter baggage claim. You'll finally yield that receipt to the customs inspection officers after baggage claim, with minimal bother and no queuing.

Police Arrest Second Idiot Involved in LAX Dry Ice Bombs
Authorities have added a second arrest in their investigation of those three dry ice bombs planted last week at Los Angeles International airport. We're going to get to the details down below, but first let's dispense with some necessary unpleasantries: when NPR wrote that the "prank bombs... caused paranoia" at LAX, that was staggeringly moronic.
Dry ice bombs of any kind can be filled with shrapnel and metal fragments, and ice bombs made out of glass bottles can - quote unquote - require "major operative intervention," to say nothing of taking lives. These things are bad news and shutting down an airport as they're exploding is not paranoia. The geniuses who set them off - employees of Serviceair, which does baggage handling and cleaning at LAX - are very rightly in a world of legal hurt. Just building dry ice bombs is a felony in Los Angeles, let alone exploding them in an airport.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Tasted this locally (Dublin) purchased bottle on 5th November 2005. A 330ml bottle, best before 03/08/06.
Poured a classic murky black body with a very good coffee tan head. Very nice lacing.
Smell subdued, roasted malts, burnt coffee beans, iron rust.
Tasted fairly good; tastes much like the smells, but with a sweetness that was a bit "clingy". Alcohol well disguised.
Mouthfeel average, and I would not be too pushed about having another. A little dissapointing, I'm afraid.
NOTE: I remember being privileged to drink the blue-capped, no label version given to Guinness brewery staff as part of their weekly "beer allowance" in times past. I recall it as being much more robust in flavour than this bottle.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
I found this on the shelves of Moscow's best beer kiosk. Brown half liter bottle with a stubby neck and a yellow and blue label featuring a harp above the name. The label is full of warnings about the health risks of consuming alcohol - unheard of in Russia. This brew was produced at the Heineken brewery in St. Petersburg, and is only 6.5% ABV. Perhaps it should have it's own listing. Ingredients include sugar. Best before 7/1/06, I opened it on 9/10/05.
Pours clear dark burgundy under a two figure light brown head with plenty of body and excellent lacing. The nose is mild, featuring roasted nuts and carmel, but also including something a bit on the sour side. The mouth is a bit thinner than it should be, and very well carbonated. The taste definitely starts out with something like unripened plum to go with the burnt malt and very strong dry bitterness. Upon further reflection, the taste reminds a bit of port wine, with an espresso chaser. The bitterness dominates ever more as we move into the finish, and lingers long into the aftertaste, although the sour never really fades, either. Although a bit watery in feel, this is a complex brew worthy of high praise.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
33 cl bottle, 7.5 % ABV clearly marked along with freshness date. Pours a thick, nearly pitch black liquid. Barely hints of ruby around the edges. Thick tan creamy head shrinking and clinging to the sides of the glass. Smells of coffee, alcohol, and rum soaked fruit. Charred, burnt flavors along with a lot of dark fruity flavors. Good amount of bitterness. Medium body, with low carbonation. This is certainly a different beast from the usual draught. Very nice, but a little too fruity for my taste.

Completely black with faint ruby highlights. The fluffy, light brown head produced some nice lacing and remained with the beer throughout. Malty aroma with plenty of sugary fruit and roasted character. Roasted malt and dark fruit kicked off the flavours, with light hop bitterness following closely. Slightly acidic. It finished with a dry, roasted bitterness. Smooth and slightly creamy texture with a bit of stickiness. Definitely worth trying, this is much more interesting and flavourful than the draft Guinness you find in everywhere. Thanks Viggo.

A bottle from Barbados, courtesy of Ninjaworm and BiF20 (thanks, Oak!)
thick, opaque, thorughly black appearance, big, rocky, rumbling, cocoa/ tan head, leaving lace, most impressive look for a stout.
Aroma is sweetness, molasses and brown sugar, and that's about it, but rather full with those flavors...
Taste: big, and brimming with thick, viscous, luscious, sweet dark flavors...thick, and slick on the tongue, sleek, silky, dances on the tongue with a light, yet delicious tango...wow, I'm actually feeling the difference, though...it has a little something in the malt, in the yeast,...maybe I need a bottle of the Extra Stout to compare, but it definitely stands above it.
Sweet, but a bit complex, and a rich, delicious thing.
Still on the hunt for the Lagos stuff, but ready to be disillusioned, or at least, understand that it's probably just as good, if not so terribly much better, than this one.

4.58/5 rDev +12%
look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5
Appearence: Pours completely black with just the tiniest red hue. The head is creamy, thick, and has wonderful retention.
Smell: The smell is an amazing mix of roasted malts, coffee, and bittersweet chocolate. The alcohol is noticable, but balances more than offends, unlike some stouts.
Taste and Mouthfeel: Wow. Take your Guinness Draught and give it to the dog. This is what a stout is meant to be like. It's incredibly rich, almost unbelievably so, with strong roasted nuts and coffee notes. The alcohol warms the belly in a wonderful manner. The complexity is through the goddamn roof. The mouthfeel is lucious and creamy, rich and full, yet kinda bubbly and slick.
Drinkability and Overall: This is a damn fine stout. If only American Guinness was like this, we'd all be in heaven. I picked this up in Bermuda while on a cruise. They had no good brews on the ship, so I was stuck drinking Newcastle. After I managed to smuggle this one on board, and drink it, I was in absolute heaven. Going from 3 days of Newcastle to this, I'd have to say it was the perfect beer for the moment. Simply stunning.

Pours very dark light coffee with very little head. The beer has little color due to its dark color. Its smells great like roaster malts and coffee notes. The taste was what sold me again I could taste roasted malts with hints of coffee and chocalate. Very full bodied and slightly chewy in a way. Its felt great going down and was very drinkable. One of my favorites.

I picked this up at a gas station in Negril, Jamaica. Light aroma, sweet cocoa, almost tangy. Dark tan head faded fast to a film. Opaque black colored beer. Burnt malt flavor, a bit of cocoa, and a strange cigarette butt flavor towards the end. Moderately dry and bitter finish. Moderately light body. I don't like the flavor towards the end, the harsh bitter ashy flavor is unappealing. Give me a Dragon Stout.

Had the pleasure of having this the day after having the Special Export from Belgium. Not as good, but still an exceptional stout. Seek out while on vacation.
Head not as huge as Special Export, but still very sizeable. Coffee colors in the head. Thick lacing stays with you.
Smell: chocalate malt and some medicinal notes. The medicinal flavor is somewhat pleasant, but that the best way I can describe it.
Taste: like the smell, except more intense. Chocalate malt astringency is on the tongue while the sip is completing.
Mouthfeel is smooth.
Drinkable? Yes. Of course. Maybe a little more drinkable than the Special Export. Hides the alcohol rather well.
Not an earth-shattering experience. Although the first time I had this a few years ago, it opened my eyes to what a stout could be. Very much worth looking for when you are on a cruise.

The beer poured into the glass black with some slight brown translucency. The head was tan to brown, large, and in charge lacing, no coating the glass from top to bottom.
The aroma was surprisingly low. The main aromatics were chocolate and some expresso coffee, but both aromas were at lower levels. Some light fruitiness existed, but it was not prominent and also some grassy hop flavor was notable as the beer warmed, but again it never became easily distinguishable.
The flavor was chocolate with expresso coffee and strong grassy bittering and hop flavor. The hop flavor grew and increased with time and the other flavors diminished into the background. The balance was decidedly toward bittering with no attempt at all to balance the with malt.
The finish was dry with lasting grassy hop bittering, very long into the aftertaste with some expresso coffee flavors along for the ride. The body was medium or just a bit more and lighter than expected. The beer was bitter enough to let you know that you are not drinking an everyday stout, but the beer seemed somewhat one dimensional and lacking in character other than bittering. A darn hoppy brew!
275 ml bottle. Best before October 2005. Label says "Brewed under license in Barbados by Banks Barbados Brewery, Ltd." I wonder how FES from Guinness is when it comes from the UK. Thanks to Ninjaworm!

A: pours a very dark brown to nearly black hue in a goblet, with a foamy brownish head which retreats a bit too fast...
S: the initial aroma is a mixture of fruit-cake or X'mas-pudding like black-fruitiness, burned brown sugar or light caramel, very dark chocolate, sweet plum wine, etc....complex but refreshing.
T: most noticeable initially are the dryish taste of roasted barley and that of crystal malts, with intensive bitterness of both Indonesian coffee and dark unsweetened chocolate (without the sour edge) in the background, while lightly tangy-sweet fruity and medium-intensive nutty savours play the second and third fiddles. The dryish aftertaste lingers well and the residual bitterness is weighty but never over the top.
M&D: overall, the mouthfeel runs from smooth beginning to dryish ending, against the fullsome flavour and full body. It's a very nice stout for beer-tasting or even as a digestif, but not something I would drink for more than one bottle.

Pours a black brown, with small tan head. Smells fruity, bit of roastiness too. The taste is bitter and roasty, with the taste of dark fruits, figs dates that sort of thing. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth although a bit on the thin side, however this is a beer that everyone should try, especially in the caribbean.

This beer is like chocolate puddin! I was lucky enough to discover a can of this in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. It pours just as you'd expect, like a dark motor oil. A tan/yellow frothy head and a dark "black hole" color.
It tastes like an incredibly rich version of the Extra Stout. It's has exactly what the US domestic version is missing. This beer is luscious.
It's not what I'd call "drinkable" though. You'll catch a nice buzz off the first pint and you don't exactly want to follow it with 5 more.
Regardless of the poor drinkability factor, have one sometime. If you're into dark stouts, you'll totally dig this one.

Pours pitch black with a considerable tan head with good retention. Some hints of caramel in the nose, but mostly roasted malt, hints of chocolate and some alcohol as well. Lovely roasted bitterness in the taste backed up with some stronger chocolate notes and a slight warming alcohol finish. Nice mouthfeel with just the right amount of carbonation. This is far and above the normal Guinness in every way. It's refreshing to see something good from the people who've just brought us Extra Cold stouts...Quite enjoyable.

Poured from a 320mL can whilst in Malaysia 12/04. Nearly jet black, w/ a trace deep garnet fringe when held to light. Mountainous, stiff rocky head leaves frothy lace. In aroma, bitter backer's cocoa with metallic undertones dominate. Hints of molasses and burnt toast. In flavor, sharp roasted barley bitterness upfront leads into burnt toffee and woody sweetness. Assertive, drying hop bitterness. Oily, dark chocolate notes surface as the beer warms. Medium bodied and dangerously dry, yet pleasantly viscous in mouthfeel. Finishes with fleeting hints of licorice, dry cocoa and prune, but otherwise clean and thirst quenching. Truly a dry stout on steroids and a welcome find here in Malaysia. Perhaps the bottled version is even better? My can notes the ABV is 8.0%.

330 mL bottle. Purchased at a small shop in London.
This stout poured an opaque black color with creamy, tall, brown foam that persisted for a long time and clung to the glass a bit as it settled. The smell was dark, roasty malt. The taste was somewhat sweet and malty with a touch of tangy mollasses, and a hint of sweet fruitiness in the background, and some bitter hops in the finish. The mouthfeel was smooth and fairly dry overall with full body and moderate carbonation. This was a very thick and chewy stout, and was not a beer to be consumed quickly.

Appearance: deeply opaque onyx, medium layer of bubbly tan foam, good head retention, lace
Aroma: roasty coffee, hint of sourness, very light fruitiness, wisps of alcohol, malty base
Flavor: a minutely salty malt backbone with a hard roasty edge, dark chocolate, coffee, slight acidity, a little caramel, alcohol, finishes semi-dry with a roasty bitterness and traces of burnt caramel in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: full body, fine carbonation, silky texture, rich alcohol warmth
Other comments: Not sure if this is different from the special Guinness that is made for Belgium (despite the 0.5% alcohol difference). In any case, it's just as yummy if not more so!

Two cold beauties last nite after seeing the ol Ladys charges on the MasterCard bill. Nice, foamy head, good lacing, and a deep charcoal malt aroma / flavor with a finishing hop kick. Seems to have just a smidgen more punch than regular Guinness draft, probably from the extra carbination. Great drinkablity, smooth, with a short afterburn. - wish I had more than 2 in the fridge. Ol blister took a drink and almost gagged, but shes a BMC lite drinker, so what else is new?

Great brew!
Nice full bodied
This beer is brewed through out the Caribbean. (Bahamas, Curacao NA, St. Vincent and probably a few other places).
The particular bottle that I am reviewing was brewed in Ireland.
The bottles I get are usually 330 ml.
I usually drink it straight from the bottle but for reviewing purposes, I used a glass this time. It pours black with a brown head. The head is very thick. Depending on how you pour it, it will keep the head on it until the glass is empty. Thus it leaves a very nice lacing on the glass.
The smell is of coffee and malt.
The taste is of coffe, dark chocolate, and malt. It has a lot of body and has a bit of sweetness with a bitter finish.
Great evening beer. Probably a bit heavy and strong for drinking during the day unless you don't have to do much.
It is excellent with hot and spicy foods.

Rich sweet malt smell. Big, big initial light tan head. Initial taste of a strong bite of abv and black malt. The brew then sweetens on the tongue with a milk like feel. The finish is one of a slightly sour malt dryness. Dark black opeque look in the pint glass. Lasting rocky lacing head. Good mouth and body to the brew. The beer is solid but does not knock my socks off.

Oh what a surprise, a friend just in from a two week vacation in Europe stopped buy with a gift pack for the Old Gusler, some fine brews, from Germany, and a bottle I specifically ask for a bottle of GFE, some thing Ive not had for some 4 years if my records are correct.
The beer pour the traditional atramentous Guinness color, the head monsterous and a creamy chocolate brown, with the lace sticky and thick Nose is coffee, bittersweet chocolate, nice malt aroma, what a treat for the old schnozzles. Start is lightly sweet, nice malt with the top middling to full n feel, modest in its acidity, the hops pleasing in their spiciness, quite dry, and a treat thats not too be missed for you stout lovers.

Shiny black in hue, there is a slight ruby hint around the edges, especially when held to a light. Impressive color. A foamy beige head donned the top of the beer; it was a finger in height at the apex. The head retention was good, after a few moments it subsided to a loose, foamy cap. Subsequent lacing was spotty and it didnt cling well. Still, the appearance of this stout is near faultless. The nose isnt very talkative; I get suggestions of roast, some char as well. In the way back is a hint of soft, caramel and toffee. The bouquet is disappointing; there really isnt much to it. It is not inviting because there is so little aroma. Apathetic. The palate is much improved. This is unlike any other Guinness Ive had. First of all, I can taste alcohol and it is warm and yummy. My bottle proclaims, 6.5% abv. As expected there is a fair amount of roasty flavors that produce notes of coffee and char. Pleasant. Towards the finish is a lovely toffee, caramel flavor. Then an astringent bitterness kicks in and lasts into the aftertaste. I really like the whole package here; there is heat and roast with hints of caramel and bitterness. This is a very good (Export) Stout; the complexities are apparent and welcomed. It is tasty! The body is a little fuller than medium, it is ideally heavy while not being sluggish, the carbonation is moderately low but appropriate. The mouthfeel is good, better than ordinary. Damn good stuff here. My dear Uncle Allen bought me a dainty bottle of FES on a recent cruise while docked at Ocho Rios, Jamaica. It set him back $8 at a tourist trap liquor store. That is way too pricey for this beer, still I am very grateful for the opportunity to quaff this famous Guinness product. Thanks Allen!

Sampled at the White Horse in London, England.
Dark Brown.
Slightly astringent, burnt grain, molasses, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar and prunes in the nose.
Traditional dry stout characteristics throughout, just much bigger with notes of raisins, alcohol, chocolate, cocoa and prunes. Full bodied.
Wow, Guinness can make a good beer. What a surprise.

SRM Global Master Fd - Statement re Northern Rock : NON-REG
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
RNS Number:1803L SRM Global Master Fund Ltd Partners 07 January 2008 Letter dated 2 January 2008 STATEMENT BY SRM GLOBAL FUND Dear Shareholder Northern Rock plc (the "Company") - Extraordinary General Meeting 15 January 2008. By now it is likely that you will have received a communication from the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") in connection with business to be conducted at a proposed extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held on 15 January 2008. You will note that resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 have been proposed by the Company and that resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 (the "Resolutions") have been proposed by two of the Company's shareholders, RAB Capital and SRM Global Fund ("SRM")' The purpose of this letter is to set out the reasons why SRM has proposed the Resolutions, why we consider that adoption by the Company of the Resolutions benefits all shareholders and why we would urge you and every shareholder to vote in favour of resolutions 1,2,3 and 4. The Company's current difficulties result from its inability to access short, term liquidity from the wholesale credit markets. This situation is not unique to the Company. Many financial institutions throughout the world are also currently experiencing difficulties in accessing operating finance from other banks. As a result such institutions are being supported by central banks, although none of the other financial institutions appears to be subject to the media scrutiny or conditions relating to such central bank funding as the Company. HM Government is merely fulfilling its role as lender of last resort (in common with other central banks) and providing the financial support required by the Company. SRM believes the Company is a strong and viable business. It is nothing like the "lame duck" that some would have you believe. We are shareholders in a company that has true value in its assets, its brand and its employees. Based on the Company's stated guidance regarding its valuation, SRM believes that the Company's book value is materially in excess of its current share price. SRM believes that any sale of assets and/or business of the Company at below its true value is detrimental to the Company and to its shareholders and would inhibit a timely and complete repayment of the Bank of England facilities. By adopting a proportionate approach, the Company's liquidity can be restored. It is these beliefs which underpin the four resolutions which SRM has proposed. 1 The Company currently finds itself in exceptional circumstances and in these circumstances shareholders cannot rely upon the usual safeguards (including those of seeking shareholder consent for significant transactions). In these exceptional circumstances, there is a risk that the Company may take material steps relating to its future without first seeking the approval of its shareholders. SRM has asked the Board to confirm to all shareholders that any proposed action affecting the Company's business will be put to shareholders for their approval. The Company and its advisers have been unwilling to agree to this. Accordingly, exceptional circumstances dictate that the Resolutions are required to ensure that best practice is adhered to and that shareholders consent is required for material transactions, 2 The Resolutions generally reflect best practice as to when the Company should seek shareholder approval. However, as noted above the exceptional circumstances the Company finds itself in may permit the usual shareholder checks and balances to be sidelined. The Resolutions aim at ensuring that shareholders are part of the decision making process and that hastily ill thought out actions are not implemented without their consent. The Board has made its position known to you (including the Chairman's recognition of our "positive motives"). We believe that the Board's concerns are over-stated: 1 The Resolutions do not impede the Board's ability to discharge its duties. Rather, they simply seek to assert that in transactions of a material nature shareholder consent is obtained prior to executing any proposal. 2 The Resolutions do not block or stop the Board from taking or pursuing a course of action. Rather the Resolutions reflect good corporate practice and seek to involve shareholders in material decisions affecting the future of the Company and to ensure that adequate checks and balances are in place. SRM believe that Shareholder involvement is positive and constructive - it strengthens the Company's position and ensures that proposals are properly debated, considered, well prepared and rational. It will prevent hasty action which would needlessly destroy value in the Company. 3 Going to shareholders will not increase materially any timetable upon which a deal is done as approvals will also need to be obtained from the Tripartite Authorities and the work required to obtain shareholder consent will usually proceed on a parallel path such that shareholder consent will be sought at roughly the same time that a proposal is being finalized. 4 Seeking shareholder consent for any material course of action will strengthen the Board's negotiating position as any proposal that has shareholder backing will provide the board with significant support. We recognise that all shareholders are very important to the Company's future. It is for this reason that we would urge you to vote FOR each of resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4. The rationale for doing so is simple - this is the best way of preventing a loss in value of the Company by forcing the Company to protect shareholders' interests at this crucial time in its history. Yours sincerely For and on behalf of SRM Global Master Fund Limited Partnership This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END NRAGIGDBRSGGGIR

Ferry services between Discovery Bay and Mui Wo will stop unless the government agrees to the operator's plan to slash the number of sailings.
- Mon
- Mar 10, 2014
- Updated: 8:12am
Our city's public transport systems are the envy of the world. Their efficiency, cleanliness, safety record and reasonable fares compare favourably with services anywhere else.
Residents of Peng Chau and Lamma islands will have to live with slower, less frequent ferry services for the next three years, but the government has promised improvements from then on.
So the honeymoon is over and now it is hard to tell the difference between the First Ferry service and the service we received from the Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company (HYF).
Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry added 16 extra sailings to the Central-Cheung Chau route and eight more on the Central-Mui Wo service to cope with holiday passengers.
Octopus smart cards can be used on the Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry service between Peng Chau and Central from Monday.
Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry fares go up 8.35 per cent from Sunday. Cross-harbour fares for ordinary ferries will rise to $4.80 while Central to Tuen Mun hoverferries rise to $20.80. Ordinary fares...
I am very annoyed with the sneaky manner in which the Yaumati Ferry Company handled their special midnight ferry service on Lunar New Year's Eve.
