650ml bottle, the second in Alley Kat's new Big Bottle series, apparently a different malt recipe than their previous seasonal maibock Little Bottle (!) offering...and, oh yeah - rather a cute name, given the 7.3 points of sweet, sweet ABV.
This beer pours a clear, bright golden copper hue, with two fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and lazily bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few streaks of arched coral reef lace around the glass as it gradually drifts away.
It smells of semi-sweet, toasted grainy breakfast cereal, like Golden Grahams and sneakily adulterated (say what?) Shreddies, further yeasty dough malt notes, subtle black pepper dust, and earthy, floral hops. The taste is more lightly toasted biscuity caramel malt, this time less Saturday morning and more later Saturday night, what with the ascendency of some edgy warming alcohol, more quite welcome ground table pepper, a touch of waning spicy yeast, and floral, weakly weedy hops.
The carbonation is quite easy-going, and unobtrusive in its generally child-like frothy playfulness, the body a solid medium weight, smooth, and just a wee bit tacky, origins unknown. It finishes still fairly sweet, but in a well-moderated sense - the surface-probing booze and work-a-day hops doing more than enough to stave off any straight-up sugar shock.
A decently flavourful Spring (around here, sadly, it still very well barely is, though not quite the titular May) offering. However, there's still a bit too much sugar in this particular cereal-fest to encourage me to seek out seconds the next time I drop by the brewery. That doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't try this at least the once to (re)affirm your confidence in AK's old-school Teutonic capabilities.

Much tastier when very fresh. European hops, pilsner malts and lagerish aromas. Lacey. Above average carbonation. Light toastiness, more prounced in bottle version. The bottled version yielded some yeasty taste. Drinkable.
On tap at the brewery, combined review with recent bomber shared with Presario.

A - clear copper brown, short head dissipated quickly and left a ligth lace ring
S - grassy and astringent, light buttered bread, subtle caramel sweetness
T - toasty and burnt malts, grassy and metallic, light licorice note, very different from the nose
M - strong carbonation with an alcohol kick, dry's out with a licorice root feel
O - interesting flavours and worth a purchase as always with Alley Kat, but there is something very different about this beer that makes it both interesting but a little uninviting

A- Pours a clear coppery color with an average looking white foamy head, which doesn't retain overly well, but does settle to a solid layer over the brew. Carbonation also looks to be average for the style...not too overly done, but not mild either. There is minimal lacing.
S- Malt dominates, which is fine with me, but also contains some spicy floral notes on the finish. In the middle, there is a distinct yeast quality that reminds me slightly of raw bread dough...just a bit of a tang. I suppose there is a bit of a hop bitterness on the finish as well, but it's unassuming.
T- There is a decent blend of sweet malt upfront, with a biscuit like middle and finishing with a very noticeable spiced hop bitterness. It's actually quite nice, as the after effects on the palate resume back to a malty taste that shortly lingers before the next taste.
M- This is most definitely a thin bodied beer, but remains smooth and creamy in flavor and carbonation, but I'd like to have it slightly more zingy on my palate, as I feel this style almost needs it.
O- I'm not loving this one, but I would certainly purchase this again upon Alley Kats' next release without regret. I think it's flavorful enough, perhaps a little to lite bodied and/or not zingy enough. I would still recommend anyone to try this and think Alley Kat did a decent job on this one.

This is my second bottle of "Loaded Goat". I enjoyed the first one, but I'm not super familiar with what a maibock is supposed to be like. 650mL bottle poured into a giant mug (probably not ideal glassware, but I had to try out the mug!).
It pours a deep amber colour with a good creamy head. This is an appetizing looking beer!
The aroma is roasted malt with some bready notes. It has almost a creamy smell. Alcohol is prominent, but not offensive.
The taste is smooth and relatively mild. It is slightly sweet to start off, but a little hop bitterness comes through with the warm malt flavours. It starts to get more sweet towards the end, and the intensity from the alcohol fills the mouth with a rich toasty sweetness. Alcohol warmth finishes out the aftertaste.
Overall, this isn't an AMAZING beer, but I really enjoy it. I don't know how true it is to the style, but Alley Kat has managed to pull off a very satisfying lager that still has a lot of character.

From a 650 ml brown bottle, teal blue label. Part of Alley Kat's Big Bottle limited edition series this year. Pours out a clear bright orange copper hue, creamy off-white head that retains as a thick cap.
Rich bready, biscuity malt on the nose, accented with spicy and floral hops.
Intense bready malt up front in the flavour, augmented with warm alcohol and spicy hops. A fairly balanced triad of characteristics, although overall it seems a bit underattenuated.
Medium-light mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, seems fuller than it is and the body does build near the finish.
Nice drinkable Maibock all around, hits all the basic notes for the style. Different version from Alley Kat's last release a few years ago that came in 6 packs. This is one to get your hands on while it lasts.

A large bottle of an Alley Kat speacialty that I picked up at Kensington Wine while getting my CAMRA Calgary tickets. $6.59.
Brown with bronze orange hilights, off white head that faded to a thin ring, left a few whisps of lace. A good mix of aromas, floral/herbal hops with bready/caramel malts. Taste starts with the malt sweetness, toffee and caramel, and then is balanced by a flavor filled hoppiness, grassy and floral. A nice blend.
Alcohol is there, but does not distract from the flavors. Good level of carbonation gives a medium body, smooth mouthfeel, clean and dry finish. Easy to drink, nice flavors, well done.

Clear golden-amber appearance with thick head that quickly disappears but leaves decent lacing. Smell is sweet with a hint of caramel and bread. Picked up citrus and nuts as well.
Taste is sweet with a strong taste of caramel. Fortunately, this doesn't go overboard with sugar. Picked up malt and bread as well along with nuts and fruit (orange?). Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. After taste is an alcoholic sweetness.
First Canadian Maibock, and so far my favorite from the style. It's a strong and flavorful beer but without the malt liquor-like sugar taste. Don't pass up if you find this at a liquor store.

This is my kind of lager.
A: Bronze with an off-white head, thin ring of retention leaves a touch of lace.
S: Pleasant floral, slightly herbal hopping with hints of grass and mineral. Somewhat bready with light caramel & toffee.
T: Bready malt has a light caramel & toffee sweetness, but a solid bitterness for balance. The floral hopping is a little herbal, with hints of steelie grass. Alcohol is subtle. Very well done.
M: Well attenuated moderate body is smooth with a crisp finish.
D/O: A really easy drinker for its strength. It fires on all cylinders, but just isn't super charged. ;D

Pours a copper colour with one finger of off white head that recedes quickly, not much lacing.
In the smell I get lots of bready malts and caramel malts, and some toffee notes, as well as a few citrus notes.
The taste is quite sweet with alot of caramel malts and toffee note up front. There is also a subtle burnt sugar/molasses bitterness that balances out the sweetness. The beer finishes quite dry. ABV is very well hidden.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and is quite smooth and almost creamy. However, this beer might be just a tad flat even for the style.
A good beer in the style, and very pleasant.

Always pleased to take a new Alley Kat offering for a spin.
A - Pours a crystal clear copper colour, finger of head with little retention and no lacing.
S - Rather mild, but there's definitely some sweet caramel notes, a touch bready with fruity yeast and toasted nuttiness.
T - The sweetness comes through quite strong off the top, the nuttiness is present, as well as a lot of bready and biscuit malt notes. A slight bitterness lingers, but it could use a bit more leafy hops to balance it out. ABV is well hidden, though might be contributing to the sweetness of it.
M - Comes across a tad light, but it finishes nicely with a touch of dryness.
O - A tasty offering, though not one of the best to come from Alley Kat. Worthy for the style, but the sweetness is a little too much for my liking.

Appearance - Pours a clear copper/amber with two fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - Bready, biscuity malts, Noble/Saaz hops, hint of fruity esters.
Taste - Strong malt flavour profile with toasted biscuity and bready malts. Low hop content to add a touch of bitterness. Subtle amount of pepperiness.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Dry finish.
Overall - A nice malty maibock from Alley Kat. Would be nice to have just a touch more hop profile in it, but otherwise a nice toast to the spring season finally upon us in Alberta.

M enters silky and fluffs up quickly from the bubbles

Poured from a bomber into a glass mug. A big bubbly tan head on a clear dark amber. The haed soon settlers down to a thick layer with lots of lacing.
Sweet malt smells with some grapefruity hop notes. Malty sweetness with a subdued hop finish.
Very creamy texture. Smooth and fairly dry for a Maibock.

A pretty decent brew.
Color was no surprise.
It had an active carbonation and very little head, which did give me pause.
The first sip was all bubbles and a fairly bitter taste. I expected more malt.
It was "basement" temperature when poured into the glass but as it warmed up, it got better. The gassiness abated and the malt eventually asserted itself. It was still a bitter aftertaste but in a good way, now. The alcohol also made an appearance, finally.
I don't think that I'd bother with this again but not because it was bad-- just uninspired.

Bomber poured into a tulip glass. A light golden bronze color with a moderate amount of beige head. I am getting various elements on the nose, all expected and of moderate intensity: Honeyed breakfast cereal, a fruitiness like apples, grassy and slightly spicy Noble hops, slightly toasted grain. Malt-forward and with a propensity to alternate between sweet and bitter. Sort of an identity crisis. Palate begins mildly toasted, with a notable dry nutty note and moderate Noble hops providing a tasteful bitterness, although for me things evolve toward a more prominent sweetness, recalling more Honey Nut Cheerios cereal, butterscotch pudding, perhaps a hint of cotton candy, and then the bitterness reestablishes itself in the finish, which is quite crisp and dry, perhaps a tad grainy. Certainly keeps me interested. Moderate body and carbonation. This one's struggle to establish a clear-cut taste identity actually added to the experience for me, although purists might prefer the goat to take a stand.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a schooner. Best before date of Oct 17/11 in black ink on the neck of the bottle. A little tricky to see, but it's there. Good job having BB's!
A - clear amber with a small one finger head that disappears after a minute or two. Slight bubbly lacing left behind. Obvious carbonation rising within the glass.
S - nice sweet malt on the nose and not much else
T - slightly sweet, but not overly so. Lots and lots of bready malt throughout, but never too much; this does a lovely job of living on the edge.
M - slight heaviness too it, but not thick. Lots of carbonation to balance it out.
D - very drinkable. The slight sweetness doesn't go too far and leaves it reasonably satisfying.
Overall a solid beer from the fine folks at Alley Kat. Nice version of the style.

I love this album so much. This to me is a true five star album. This is the album that drew me into heavy metal music and made me a life long Iron Maiden fan.
"Run to the Hills" is what initially drew me in. I hadn't heard anything else by the band, but this was 1982, and radio was still in top 40 mode. But I knew I loved "Run to the Hills," so I thought I'd buy a whole album rather than just the single. And am I glad I did. I remember putting the lp on the turntable and being spellbound for the better part of an hour while I played the album twice, back to back. To my twelve year old ears, this was heaven.
After a thorough listen, I found most of the songs to be even better than "Run to the Hills" — especially side two's "Number of the Beast." That song to me was pure high octane power, the perfect combination of bass, guitar, drums, and vocals. And the album closed perfectly with "Hallowed Be Thy Name."
After this, I became a true Iron Maiden maniac. I knew that "Up the Irons" meant, I knew all about "Eddie," I learned this was Bruce Dickinson's first album… stuff that wouldn't help me academically, but essential in heavy metal discussion during class time.
While my mom wasn't initially pleased with the album art (I explained it was all a dream sequence), she was pleased I was increasing my workload around the house in order to buy the band's other albums — "Iron Maiden," "Killers," and "Maiden Japan." And with each album, I fell deeper under the band's spell. I've picked up every album since then. Some great, some not so great, but you take the good with the bad.
Are you convinced that music is dull, drap, unappealing, and commercial? Never heard this album? Now's your chance to listen to one of the cornerstone bands of the 80's and 90's. Creativity, personality, and originality all describe this great band — a band still on the road touring and making albums. And as for this album, it sounds as good today as it did over twenty years ago.

Remember Me
(originally published 4-26-12)
by June Conner Star-Gazette editor It doesn't take long when you talk to Jack Fearneyhough to know why Project Tiger Pride was such a success. His positive thinking, endless energy, and his love for Beardstown sticks out all over. He won't take the credit for the great accomplishment, but he's eager to say that this is the first annual event.
It wasn't any secret that the school needed some trees. It wasn't any secret that money is tight. With the help of Project Tiger Pride, a project that would have cost nearly $150,000 if bid, was accomplished from local donations of $23,000.
Jack said,"The building's budget was exhausted. All the money went into more footage, not landscaping." The organized effort began last fall according to Fearneyhough.
"I went to the Beardstown School Board in January and asked for $5,000, their investment to take part ownership of the project." said Fearneyhough, "Then I asked the Lion's Club to be an anchor service organization and they donated $3,000. The Kiwanis Club took charge of soliciting remaining organizations. In addition to the organization and individual donations, the City of Beardstown contributed $10,000 in Tax Increment Finance funds. All I had was an idea, but it was Kevin and Chris Massie with their expertise that created the landscaping plan."
Nearly 400 volunteers of all ages participated Saturday morning. One hundred twenty trees, about two and a half to three inches in diameter, along with 200 shrubs and flowers from the school's greenhouse were planted. Fearneyhough said,"It was such a diverse group of people and students. It was so neat to see them all come together. The weather was good. The grass was dry. There were no bugs. We did this for us, by us. It was fun." A project that Fearneyhough says will be done soon by a few volunteers will be to put in an irrigation system around the school. He said that the project wouldn't be that much and it would benefit the trees and the grass at the school.
Jack said, "I will take all the feedback so we can do it better next time. We need to hear your project ideas." There are still some trees that are available for memorials. A $300 donation will get a tree marked with a granite stone.
Ideas for projects for the future are also being sought by Fearneyhough. He said,"People take rightful pride in community. We have it here."

Titanfall won't have expensive single player so you can't rush through levels, or not finish it
Okay, there's some interesting stuff here. The idea that single-player content is very expensive to make, and that it can only take a short amount of time to get through, and most people don't finish the campaign... well, that's all true. It's a good point, especially since we're talking about a relatively small team for a AAA title.
On the other hand, almost all the developers I talk to on this issue tend to be shocked at how many people buy games we think of as being primarily MP and never go online. There is a huge market for campaigns in video games, and cutting it out altogether is a bold move.
Of course, it also gives them the ability to make the game require an Internet connection, since there is no "single-player" game. I was also told in my demo that there is strong story and NPC elements to the multiplayer, so you'll go through a full story and a campaign. Just with other people.
Although it was also hinted that you'd be able to play against bots, which means there may be an offline way to play. We'll see.
This is an interesting discussion, and I'm curious for your thoughts.

MADISON (WKOW) -- More people than ever before are dealing with student loan debt.
A Pew Research Center report says 1 in 5 U.S. households, or about 22 million people, had college debt in 2010.
That's up about 4% from just three years earlier, according to the report.
The report's author says student debt has gone up in recent years because as more people go to school, they take out more loans to finance it.
It's best to tackle that debt, before it even starts to build up.
That's where parents come in, to help with a college savings plan.
Brent Lindell is a financial advisor with Savant.
He says parents should invest in a savings plan.
The Section 529 Plan is the most popular.
It's offered and operated by every state and can be transferred from one state to another.
Another option is an IRA or Roth IRA account.
They allow you to save money while avoiding significant taxes.
Lindell recommends parents speak with a financial advisor to get started.

Wacky Thom Hartmann: Networks Were Forbidden Since Reagan to Talk of Poverty, Inequality
Listening to liberal talk radio is sometimes like just listening to the world being turned upside down. Liberal hosts make claims that are demonstrably ridiculous, and expect listeners to lap it up.
Case in point: Thom Hartmann praised the Occupy Wall Street protesters for changing the media conversation. He claimed that ever since Reagan was elected, the media has forbidden any discussion of the maldistribution of wealth, as if the words "Decade of Greed" weren't a media favorite, as if the "three million homeless" weren't routinely on the lips of liberal media personalities:
All of a sudden, for the first time, frankly, in my recollection, since the Jimmy Carter presidency...there was a discussion on the television networks and the corporate media about inequality in the United States, about homelessness...about poverty increasing...about the ratio of wealth inequality... These are things that were verboten [in the media]...Now, because of the Occupy movement, they have become topics of discussion, and because [of that], politicians are starting to talk about them.
Rebuttal? Try network anchors with questions like this:
"Let me ask you to be an analyst for us. You've been working on behalf of children now for years and years. What happened in our country where we can watch children going hungry, pregnant women not getting the proper care. And we don't seem to care as a society. How did we get here?" -- CBS reporter Lesley Stahl interviewing Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund, September 30, 1990 Face the Nation.
Over on the Ed Schultz radio show, Big Ed was claiming (for the umpteenth time) that the Tea Party was a spent force in politics, that the latest elections meant you could stick a fork in the Tea Party and their garbage and lies:
SCHULTZ: Don't let anyone lie to you. America is not a center-right country. The Tea Party is not the driving force in American politics -- that was proven last night -- and the middle class is not the problem for our budgets in America. Last night, common-sense liberal ideas won out over right-wing lies and the garbage that has been shoved down America's throat....The Tea Party took a whippin' last night. Big time.
Schultz added "You can't trust these Republican governors...They may be talkin' the good game after the loss, but they're gonna get right back to work and they're gonna go right back after the middle class again."
And over on the Rachel Maddow show on TV, not only is an unborn baby not a human until feminists decide it's a wanted human, but abortions save lives. The loss of the Mississippi personhood initiative was a victory for "saving lives." Can you believe they keep that up? Talk about "lies and garbage."
MADDOW: Do you have an opinion about why Mitt Romney cannot make up his mind about personhood?
TERRY O`NEILL, NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN: You know, I don`t understand it. And I`m really disturbed by his suggestion that this should be thrown out to the states and allow the states to make a decision. The last time I checked, a woman`s life is a life worth saving. And you are just as much worth saving if you live in the state of Mississippi if you live in the state of New York or New Jersey. So, I don`t know where he`s coming from with let`s let the state decide when a woman can actually take steps to protect her own health and when she can`t.

So now we're supposed to believe that all abortions are performed to save a woman's life and protect her health?
Well then, why don't you suggest that women just get sterilized, and they won't ever have to worry about the threat to life and health that pregnancy imposes?
And Ed Schultz is so full of hate that it just oozes out of his pores.
How can someone be reasonable with all that hate churning around inside?

For anybody who pays a lick of attention it is only when there is a democrat in the whitehouse that we stop talking about the homeless. The OWS crowd obviously didn't get the memo. Don't worry. Their masters will bring them to heel soon enough.

I thought LBJ eliminated poverty in America with his Great Society war on poverty (with no exit strategy).
By the way, poverty hasn't dropped even 1 percent even though we have spent trillions on LBJ's endless war.

In fact, wasn't there just a story about poverty increasing?
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, I have a definition of liberal insanity (or maybe just liberalism):
The belief that if a "solution" doesn't have the intended effect, it needs to be done on a bigger scale. And repeat as needed.

Huh? Thom Hartmen is severely
Submitted by BD on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 12:31pm.
Thom Hartmen is severely misguided.
During the Reagan Administration the press was hardly forbidden to talk about the issues regarding poverty and other social issues. It was damn near ALL they did.
Do a count of stories referencing Homelessness during the Bush and Reagan administrations and you will see an overwhelming number of these stories in comparison to the number presented during the Obama and Clinton Administrations. It was as if electing a democrat suddenly makes the subject disappear.
If Thom Hartmen were to accurately state what the OWS protestors have actually done regarding focusing the discussion it would be more fair to say they have illuminated the need for better economic education on the left as well as a critical need to airdrop soap and copies of "Dressing for Success" for the protestors.

Ariana Is A Caraoke Star
Sam and Cat star Ariana Grande lives, eats and breathes music. In an interview with Saturday Night Online, the celeb confessed her passion for pop and her ultimate fave place to jam out. "My favorite part of the music making process is right when you finish a new song… and listen to it on the way home really loud," she said. "That's a super exciting moment, I love to do that." Hey, the only thing better than cranking up the tunes is cranking up your own new hit single!
And since Ariana is such a caraoke fan (if you didn't know, caraoke is when you belt out karaoke tunes in the car), she should definitely collaborate with pal and fellow Victorious star, Matt Bennett. He's got some great pipes and we hear he's also a real rock-star behind the wheel. Can you say, car-monies?
But if blasting your new tracks is the best part about dropping a new album, what's the worst part? Well, Ariana shared, "The most difficult thing about recording an album is… picking the singles and narrowing it down because you've put so much work into everything and you don't want to see any of those songs go to waste." Well, with music as awesome as Ariana's, we'd find it pretty tough to choose too!

His tunes have made their way into indie-rock chanteuse Feist's live sets (and on her breakthrough release, Let It Die), and his performance of Jesse Harris' "You The Queen" landed in Ethan Hawke's film, The Hottest State.
To many, he is known as a prolific guitarist, bass player, producer, and singer/songwriter in his own right, In 2001 Smellslike records(Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Blonde Redhead, etc.) released his debut solo album "Come Around" to rave reviews. Scherr delivers his most compelling collection of compositions to date on his latest Smellslike release, "Twist In The Wind".
Tony Scherr Trio is Scherr's favorite enduring project featuring superstar drummer/record producer Anton Fier(Golden Palominos,The Feelies, Herbie Hancock, Bob Mould, Pere Ubu, The Lounge Lizards, Jack Bruce, John Zorn), and young bass wiz Rob Jost(Imogen Heap, Ursa Minor, Elysian Fields, Sesame Street, and The Saturday Night Live band). They have been playing critically acclaimed weekly residencies on Mondays at a succession of New York venues, and touring the world since 2005. Since June 2010, this band has been enjoying steady Monday nights at The Living Room; one of New York's favorite music venues where their new upcoming live album was recorded.

How will you honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. this April 4, the anniversary of his assassination? How about by demanding that Congress get out of Wall Street's pocket? How about by letting your representative know that you support economic equality and a just distribution of wealth in America? As Dr. King himself said, "This is America's opportunity to help bridge the gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question is whether America will do it. There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is that we now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will."
The enormous wealth disparity between the top 1% and the rest of America is an unsustainable economic and social injustice. We are committed to an economic recovery that employs all those willing and able, that houses all those needing shelter, and that imposes the cost based on the ability to pay.
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were uniquely suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
Two CWA members - Dave Felice in Denver, CO and Madelyn Elder in Portland, OR have started the ball rolling. We just need to keep up the momentum leading up to a big day of petition deliveries.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.
Congress has a solution for creating jobs and job training programs but the newspapers never talk about that. Government isn't broken and government can create jobs. Make sure that people in your community know that this is possible.
If your Representative is not currently a cosponsor of HR 1000 they may not completely understand how important full employment is to your community; click on your state at the bottom of this page to see all the cosponsors in your state. Nothing sends a stronger message to a Congressional member than a personal visit to a district office by a voter with a written request. Phone calls and emails are incredibly important but nothing gets attention like a personal visit. Our Educate Congress page has information and a sample letter. Print the letter, sign it, deliver it.

OLYMPIA, Wash. - The Washington state Liquor Control Board will meet Wednesday to consider changes to the preliminary draft of rules for the state's new marijuana industry.
Board members will discuss the rules they released in May after spending time visiting marijuana grow houses and researching the industry.
Marijuana sales in Washington should begin in early 2014, unless the Justice Department stops them. Pot is still illegal under federal law.
Last fall, voters in Washington legalized the sale of taxed marijuana to adults over 21 at state-licensed stores.

American Council on Exercise4851 Paramount DriveSan Diego, California 92123
Posted: Wednesday, February 9, 2000 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO - First Fitness Inc. and the American Council on Exercise (ACE) are pleased to announce a strategic alliance to introduce the Fitness Equipment Specialist Certificate, a comprehensive sales and fitness certificate training program.
In an effort to bring much needed fitness education to professionals that sell home and commercial fitness equipment, First Fitness teamed up with ACE, the nation's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization and consumer watchdog. Designed specifically for specialty retail associates and commercial equipment sales professionals, the Fitness Equipment Specialist Certificate program will cover basic exercise physiology and fitness-specific sales techniques.
"The goal of the certificate program is to help sales professionals better understand fitness and its practical applications," explains Ken Germano, ACE executive director, "so they can, in turn, provide home and commercial consumers more credible fitness information and equipment recommendations."
Generally, fitness equipment salespeople are trained in either sales or fitness. The Fitness Equipment Specialist Certificate is the first of its kind to bring the two disciplines together in a comprehensive training course.
"There is a real need for a program like this out in the marketplace," says Gregory Florez, First Fitness president and CEO. "Having salespeople earn this certificate will give retailers and manufacturers a definite competitive edge, as well as provide a significant value to consumers."
The Fitness Equipment Specialist Certificate program provides training and education, along with a proctored exam to test competencies. The four-hour, onsite program will be available nationwide in April 2000 by calling First Fitness at (801) 538-0282.
As a leading expert on fitness and the sports and fitness industry, First Fitness provides information, education, coaching, and tools to consumers, sports and fitness professionals, and equipment manufacturers and retailers. First Fitness is dedicated to supporting people in achieving a high level of physical, mental and emotional fitness through regular exercise and physical activity. For more information, call First Fitness Inc. at (801) 538-0282 or send an email to email@example.com.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness products and instruction. As the nation's "workout watchdog," ACE conducts university-based research and testing that targets fitness products and trends. ACE sets standards for fitness professionals and is the world's largest nonprofit fitness certifying organization. For more information on ACE and its programs, call (800) 825-3636 or log onto the ACE Web site at www.acefitness.org.

The Cancer guy is super sensitive, and often grows up shy. How open he is depends on whether he's learned that it's ok to trust others. The older Cancer wears a protective shell, and often appears aloof. But inside, he's still that same softy with the big heart.
Of all the signs, he's the most sensitive to rejection. That's why he likes to move toward love in an indirect way -- like a Crab. He doesn't want to rush into anything.
Mama's Boy
The male Moonchild often keeps unusually close ties to his Mom. This is a way to understand him. See if there are hard aspects (squares, oppositions) to his Cancer Sun or Moon. This could hint at patterns of stress, love-hate, and a struggle to be independent on his own.
His Moon sign and its aspects are very revealing. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, for wavy moods and sensitivity. What makes him feel emotionally secure? What puts him in retreat mode, back into the shell?The Cancer Guy
- is protective of his private life
- doesn't like to stand out, or be singled out
- has a natural affinity for women, and is especially close to his mother
- is most comfortable in his own home
- comes across as vulnerable, which brings out a protective instinct in others
- gets lost in his moods
- is easily wounded
- looks for emotional sure-things and financial stability
- his fear of being hurt grows
- he forms a deep attachment
- he responds to steady affection and honesty
- he reveals himself in safe places
- he remembers every moment
- he's sentimental and loving
- can recoil if hurt, even if unintentionally.
What He Wants
- Faithfulness
- A homey atmosphere together
- To create a family feeling
- To have emotional intimacy
- To build a stable life with enough food and money to feel secure
- To get to know each other's families
- To share a refuge -- home -- from the harsh world outside
- A genuine interest in his background, childhood, family.
- Comforting assurances of your affection.
- An emotionally safe situation, where his vulnerability won't be taken advantage of.
- Respect for his strength and sensitivity.
- A cozy setting with his favorite foods, warm lighting, private feel.
He gets affectionate and lets down his guard when he feels emotionally safe. Often that means on his own home turf, with all his comforts within arm's reach. Cancer men are often orally oriented, starting with kissing, and covering the body landscape.
On the Down Side, he's emotionally manipulative, childish, defensive, rejecting, passively aggressive, brooding, self-pitying.
On the Bright Side, he is gentle, protective, home-oriented, great with kids, marriage material, a family man, devoted, domestic, loving, intuitive and sentimentally romantic.

pours a burnt orange color. incredibly cloudy. moderate amout of lacing left behind
little bit of alcohol on the nose as well as grassy hops
low carbonation and smooth mouthfeel most likely due to the oil from the hops
alcohol is modest, though it adds a bit of sweetness. hops follow quickly but too hang around too long after. tad bit of fruitiness slips in as well.
its a brew to sip. simply done, but not too shabby. there are better doubles to try, but it's worth a shot.

They make some pretty good stuff in Utah,I hate to say it but I am a little surprised by that,no disrespect at all meant to Utah folks.Poured into a tulip glass a deep burnt orange with a large fluffy,sticky white crown that held for a real longtime leaving globs of lace behind.Citrus fruit and caramel malt battle it out in the nose department,light sweet alcohol comes in to play as well.Hefty sweetness on the palate,a tone of caramel going on here,more sugary sweetness until a burst of citric hop comes in the finish.Like way to many American DIPA's this is to sweet but the hops hit pretty good in the finish.The alcohol makes it more sweeter as it warms,its a sipper but not bad at all.

Consumed at pub in SLC airport between flights. Bottle date is smeared but looks like 4/4/11. Consumed 5/18/11.
Pours clear orange with two fingers of light tan head. Head has good retention and leaves a fair amount of lacing behind.
Smell is very malt-forward, mostly caramel. There are also aromas of pine and grapefruit, but these are relatively subtle.
Hops are more apparent in the taste than the smell, but still maybe a bit too much caramel malt for my tastes in a DIPA. Still, it seems to work pretty well in this case. While the bitterness is tame, it has a nice juicy citrus taste that is enjoyable. Finishes dry with some lingering bitterness.
Medium bodies and slightly sticky. Finishes with a bit of resiny bitterness.
Not exactly typical of the style, but works well in it's own way. I would have again.

12 oz can. Pours hazy reddish gold with a medium creamy off white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is very sweet and sugary slightly rotten fruit with some caramel malt and resiny hops.
The flavor is sweet sugary crystal malts, funky tropical fruit and some resiny hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, odd combination of sweet sugary crystal malt, funky fruit and some resiny hops.

12oz brown with a freshness date.
LOOK: Massive sticky head takes a long time to subside, orange amber color shows some haze
SMELL: Grassy, oily resin, slightly catty, orange pith, evergreen, exotic fruit, biscuity, hint of yeast
TASTE: Hop resin, leafy, dried grass, orange rind, piney, faint tobacco, bitter middle, caramel, toasted grain, yeast, Asian pears, mango, warming alcoholic esters, bitter drying finish
Hard to pick out the 9%abv at first, well round with an assertive bitterness but not to the point of being a palate killer. Hopheads should check this one out at least once. Good drinking.

Nice looking in the glass; just less than clear amber gold with a nice frothy head that stuck around. I got a good malt hop aroma, a little piney, with just a hint of alcohol. More alchohol on the tongue. Tastes ok; has a lingering finish, maybe slight apricot. Lotsa alch coming through toward the end and perhaps some musty notes.
This is a decent beer, not too exciting but definitely exhibiting some authority. Very slick label!

Got a 12 oz bottle of this as an extra in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
A: Light orange with a nice head that leaves a thin blanket on top of the beer for the duration.
S: Malty nose, some hops are there, but malt sweetness and a little alchohol seem to be more prevalent than hops.
T: This is a very well balanced DIPA. Definitely not a hop bomb, but they don't all have to be. Some alchohol heat in the finish.
M: Nice mouthfeel with some prickliness from the carbonation. Medium bodied.
D: 9% alchohol is evident. Finish is quite dry.
I could definitely have more than one of these, but not too many more.
If you like well balanced DIPAs that are not overly citrusy, this one may be the beer for you. Quite enjoyable!

Review No. 2,300.
The beer pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of hop notes to it as expected. I get a lot of papaya and pineapple, but there are also some bitter oranges and a little bit of resiny pine. The flavor is similar. In addition to the pineapple and papaya notes, I get some caramel malt. However, the malt is fairly subtle and the bitterness is pretty high but not overwhelming. The flavor is very juicy and the tropical fruit really stands out. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very easy to drink.

Drinking this head-to-head with Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA and Firestone Walker Double Jack. Of the three, this is the most "earthy" ... It's more malty than the Deschutes, but not as well balanced as the Firestone. It has a malty, melon aroma and a very full mouthfeel. Not a IIPA that I would want to drink every day, but on occasion, this is a very interesting flavor!

Thanks for sharing Nathan!
Golden orange, amber, and copper with a pillowy nearly white head. Lined lacing down the glass. Pretty.
Pine, caramel, toffee, and alcohol round out the aroma. I miss the pungent citrus I find in my favorite DIPAs, and this one seems a bit too sweet and burning with alcohol, though there is nothing bad or unpleasant. Above average.
The flavor consists of pine, toffee sweetness, and alcohol, and a moderate to high level of bitterness throughout.
Thin to medium bodied with a definite alcohol presence.
A barely above average DIPA. Not one I will seek out again.

Pours out a darker golden color, some orange, not much head or lace to speak of, but retention of what was there was spot on. Typical high bitter, hop aroma out of a dipa. Seemed like standard cascade,centennial hops in this one.
Taste, good, ample bitterness, hop mouthfeel was a plenty, especially given that this beer was already a few months old, sturdy, important. Alcohol not all that noticeable. Caramel, grapefruit, really quite standard for a dipa, extra points for hiding the alcohol, keeping its hop mouthfeel a few months down the road, and not just amping up the ibus for the sake of enamel destructing bitterness.
Would recommend again.

More info Images Map Select Section Overview Between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this peaceful campsite welcomes you to Yorkshire. Our pretty Slingsby Club campsite sits between the rolling Howardian Hills to the south and the Vale of Pickering and the North York Moors National Park to the north making the campsite a popular base for walkers. Situated in a peaceful location on the edge of a village, the level, well maintained campsite has modern facilities including a laundry, dish washing area and a well equipped amenity block. There are plenty of walking opportunities direct from the campsite. Slingsby village, for example, is within walking distance and surrounded by an intricate network of lanes, footpaths and bridleways. The area is dotted with magnificent historic buildings. Take your pick from gems including the magnificent 18th century Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, Newburgh Abbey, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. Three of the area's most popular attractions are within 15 miles of the campsite. There's Flamingoland with its wild animals and wilder rides, the modern history theme museum – Eden Camp and the North York Moors Railway which runs a scenic route from Pickering to Whitby. The medieval city of York, around a half hour's drive away, is famous for its city walls, minster and a variety of museums. The city's Park and Ride scheme accommodates motorhomes. There are only Club Service pitches so the fee of £3.85 will apply at all times. Worth Noting Mobile phone reception poor. Site has especially hard ground so steel pegs are required.

Elaine (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Slingsby Stayed here for 4 nights due to wanting to attend the relatively nearby Pickering Steam Fair & whilst there we also visited Malton and Pickering towns. On other days, using their handy 'park & rides', we drove slightly further afield with our motorhome to visit York, Whitby & Scarborough. We never managed to find the time to get to Castle Howard but that is definitely on our must do list for our next stop-over at this site. We found it very clean, tidy, peaceful and friendly site and the warden was very welcoming and helpful. The only downside was the lack of men's toilet cubicles where my husband had to queue for one of the few toilets every morning although the site was not full by any means, but to be fair he often finds this to be the case at many Caravan & Camping Club sites. All in all we had a good time at Slingsby CCC site and we will be back.

Affordable Style in Bordeaux: An Inside Look at Hotel Burdigala
The 83-room contemporary chic Hotel Burdigala is found in Bordeaux's Mériadeck district. About a block from the tram and across the street from a well-disguised mall, the hotel is apart from the action but close enough to it.
Part of Accor's MGallery collection, this hotel is billed as a five-star, but we would place it more at a solid four-star rating. This is not meant to deter you, though, as the hotel certainly has style and is at a budget-conscious price point.
Have a look at the pics in the gallery!

Kristin Scott Thomas Talks 'Memorable Moments' with MGallery Hotels
As we told you last week, St. Ermin's Hotel in London is Accor Hotel's first UK property belonging to its revamped MGallery Collection. At the opening, a new logo - a stylized M with "Memorable Hotels by Accor" beneath - was introduced.
The new logo is a big improvement from its predecessor , which took the "M" that we know from Mercure, Accor's mid-market brand. The new "M" fits the upscale segment and focus on individuality and design much better in our opinion.
Positioned as they are as memorable hotels, each MGallery property offers a distinct "Memorable Moment", like learning about Balinese art and cuisine at The Royal Beach Hotel Seminyak or touring Prague in a classic car at the Hotel Century Old Town. Memorable moments can be arranged through the concierge at each property with 24 hour notice; rates vary based on the experience and the number of people participating.

Inside St. Ermin's Hotel in London, Now an MGallery Hotel
On Friday we asked you to guess the hotel that looked like a Kimpton but isn't and only one of you dared to try. Alas, lsuguy101 it is not the Avo Hotel but rather, St. Ermin's Hotel--the first MGallery hotel in the UK from Accor Hotels. HotelChatter was able to attend the hotel's official re-opening the other week so today we have a full room tour for you. But watch out for more details on what we saw at the hotel and learned about MGallery soon.
Originally built as mansion flats (that's apartments for American folks) in the 19th century, the St. Ermin's Hotel Westminster is a grade-II listed Victorian landmark located a few minutes from St. James's Park, in the political heart of London.
Parliament is only seven minutes away (more on why that is relevant later) and New Scotland Yard is just across the street. Victoria station, one of London's transport hubs, is within walking distance, but if you can't bear the five minute stroll, St. James's tube brings you pretty much to the front door.
Having completed a top-to-bottom renovation, the St. Ermin's reopened its doors officially earlier this month. At the same time, Accor unveiled a new logo and brand identity for their MGallery Collection, of which St. Ermin's is the first UK property.

New Label for Old Hotel :: Grand Hotel Melbourne Becomes an MGallery Hotel
We got curious when fashionable Aussie blogger Karen Cheng said that the Accor Hotels people were sending her to stay at the "brand new" Grand Hotel by Sofitel on Spencer Street in Melbourne--we didn't think it was new. But a quick investigation soon found that in some ways, it is a bit new: it's just joined the exclusive MGallery hotel collection.
As far as we can figure out, the whole MGallery thing is meant to be a fancy version of the Mercure brand, hence the "M". To kick off the collection Accor have chosen eight hotels from their Sofitel and Grand Hotel Mercure chains to become MGallery hotels, and the Grand in Melbourne is one of them. Get it? So it's new, but not new.

MANITO, Ill -- The wicked winter is affecting 40-percent of Illinois homeowners who rely on propane. The price for a gallon of propane is nearly three times higher this winter than last.
Three state lawmakers will introduce an amendment Wednesday to increase energy assistance programs for propane users and create short term loans for propane distributors.
"This helps them finance the purchase of that propane up front and increasing road weight limits helps them haul larger amounts to get it to the customer," said St. Sen. Dale Righter, one of the amendment's sponsors.
For Manito Oil and Propane the issue is getting the propane itself. The distributor used to receive a semi-load a day, now it receives one every three days.
"Cold weather came along after a big grain drying season, and the distribution problem became bigger and prices were affected," said John Parkin, co-owner Manito Oil and Propane.
He says pipeline issues allowed costs to soar from $1.74 to more than $5. As a result, his employees are making more trips, not filling tanks completely and he's paying more overtime.
"It's six days a week, somewhere between 50 and 55 hours a week," said Loren Meeker, a Manito Oil and Propane employee. "This week will be a little more, we can actually short fill everyone."
Even though the price of propane is starting to ease into the mid $4 range, for some homeowners it's not enough. They are now trying to use as little propane as possible.
"We're on a fixed income, it changed everything," said Ann Phyllis, a Mason County resident.
Phyllis and her husband stopped using everything propane powered in their home, except their water heater.
"I do dishes by hand, the dryer, we went and bought two clothes dryers like you used to use, the wooden ones," she said. "We have a pellet burner as an alternative heat source."
They say their new way of life won't change until the weather or the price of propane does.

Next season will mark the 20th anniversary of the cash cow known as the Premier League. In those 20 years, the Premier League has had exactly four winners - Manchester United, Arsenal, Blackburn, and Chelsea. Isn't money neat? Anyway, the Premier League has published a shortlist of the best players, moments, and matches from its
long, illustrious history and invited fans to vote for their favorites.
I am not generally a fan of lists of "best goals/games/players/whatever", or of selecting "the best" of something so subjective - really, it's like picking your favorite breath or favorite grain of sand - but I know a lot of people are, so here you go, vote yourselves silly. I will say that despite my lack of interest, I looked through the categories - I am not impressed with any of Arsenal's appearances in the "Best Match" category. And while I would vote for Bergkamp in the "best goal" category (the Newcastle goal), I hope that non-Arsenal people smarten up and pick Le Tissier's against Newcastle, because it's awesome.
So yeah, 20 years of the Premiership. Whee? Happy anniversary, money.

Coming to India was a terrible terrible idea. I was so excited about meeting new people and staying with families that I completely failed to factor in that I would have to say goodbye at some point. After five wonderful days with an amazing family (and OMFG they own an ICE CREAM FACTORY!!! They forced me to eat several scoops a day. Forced I tell you!!), the end had come. We met as a group with our host families at my family's lake house.
Vanessa arrived in style, as usual.
We had a fantastic breakfast (as all the breakfasts are) and spent time hanging out one last time.
Eventually they tore us away, and the vanload of crying women moved on to Kottayam. Upon arrival (after several very bumpy swervy hours), we immediately realized that Kottayam was different than Kollum. Kollum seems very much a true beach town culture, Kottayam is fancy like Dallas.
The first home I stayed in was very nice, but the home I moved into was ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. Like nicer than anywhere I've ever stayed in my entire life ridiculous. I spent the entire tour gasping with surprise and delight. To start off, the home is four stories. FOUR. Who has four stories????
Size clearly matters to me. Also, I realize that only looks like two, but there is one on the top that you can't really see and one below. Insanity I tell you. This is my super fabulous room:
It has an air conditioner, TWO sheets, and a blanket. I even had to turn the AC off on the first night because I got so cold. Strange things are happening to me. My bathroom is especially amazing as it features both a fantastic shower and a steam shower which is attached to a Jacuzzi tub. No big deal.
I can't imagine why anyone in India needs anymore steam, but what do I know? After steaming, I can to hang out on my own private floor. Maybe watch some movies on the projector, hang out in the kitchen or roll around in the other three bedrooms.
If I get sweaty watching movies, then I can go rinse off in the 20 foot high open-air monsoon shower. Sadly it's not monsoon season, but thankfully that have water spigots that immolate a rain shower.
No big deal.
After my rain shower, I can go swing on my personal terrace.
And relax while enjoying the view.
If I'm feeling social, I can join my amazing family on the rooftop terrace.
And enjoy the views.
I never have to worry about the water shutting off or losing power because their home is completely self-sustaining. They have solar panels, windmills, and a water collection system with fancy filters. They reuse everything and grow their own vegetables. Hi America, let's take note.
After enjoying some time with my family, I can spend an evening getting an butt kicking at badminton with my new little brother.
He was sweet enough to tell me that I wasn't terrible. I had so much fun that we ended up playing for two hours. Must start a badminton club at home. Oh hi fabulous sunset.
Sadly, our fun came to an end and I had to actually do work and attend a Rotary meeting.
I've received a couple of comments asking about what we do at the meetings. The meeting itself usually lasts around 1.5 hours. We give a 30 minute presentation during about who we are, what we do, where we live, and why traveling to India matters to us. It's been a nice daily reminder that I am a terrible public speaker. It's also been nice having a terrible cold (day 7 and counting!) because my voice is gone and I cough the entire time. I'm making a great impression.
After the meeting, we spend another 1.5 hours taking pictures, meeting people, watching dance performances (when they have them), talking, eating supper, declining alcohol, taking pictures, being served more food, taking more pictures, and trying to get rid of our plates before they can feed us for a third time.
Some of the Rotary clubs are really fun and the members are very friendly and talkative. Some clubs are more formal and the conversation is very stiff . Sometimes we have a club meeting like the last one where it was games and a dance party. Sometimes we spend 5 hours there during their 10 year anniversary celebration in which eight people give excessively long speeches in a language I don't understand.
The hardest part of these is staying alert because we are already about 13-15 hours into our day. We also sit on the stage usually which means everyone is watching. This also means no making weird faces, talking, or laughing. That's never easy for me. After I spent an entire meeting trying to discreetly yawn, I was informed that yawning is how Keralites express boredom. So now I will be spending my time trying not to break my jaw while stopping my yawns.
I'm off to spend some time in my monsoon. I hope you are insanely jealous and I'm not the least bit sorry about it. Suckerssssss.

MORE students opting to study at Worcester
12:01pm Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
MORE young people are opting to go to university again - despite a dip in numbers last year.
According to Ucas figures, the number of students accepted by the University of Worcester has bounced back in 2013-14 after a drop in 2012-13.
The university accepted 2,890 students for the academic year in contrast to the 2,530 who went there in 2012-13.
The rise shows a return to the university's previous high in 2011-12 when it accepted 2,940 students.
Worcester College of Technology also saw a dramatic rise in its students accepting 65 students to its courses for the academic year 2013-14, in marked contrast to the five it took in 2012-13.
This year's rise has even surpassed the 45 students who went to the college in 2011-12.
The rise in the number of students going to universities and colleges was reflected across the UK, with 495,596 students accepted to full time undergraduate courses, an increase of 6.6 per cent and the highest total ever recorded.
Ucas chief executive Mary Curnock Cook said: "With 19 year old admissions up by 18 per cent in England, we can see that the dip in demand in 2012 was perhaps a pause for thought – more of those who were 18 in 2012 have now started university than those who were 18 in either 2010 or 2011."
Professor David Green, vice chancellor and chief executive of the university of Worcester said 2013 was an all-time record year for the university.
He said: "New courses such as biochemistry and occupational therapy flourished whilst many long-standing favourites in art, business, sport, psychology became even more popular.
He also said Ucas's report came in the best week ever for applications to study at Worcester with over 2,200 applications made in a single week.
He added that employability was the secret of the university's success.
He said: "We are delighted that our graduates have proved to be highly employable, despite the long recession, with 15 out of every 16 in work within six months of graduation."
Anne Daniel, of Worcester College of Technology, said: "Students are opting to come to Worcester College of Technology as they are looking for exceptional value.
"This means quality of teaching, lower fees, and support they are given to achieve their potential.
"Students are making a positive choice after considering all of the options."
