Colne campaigners prepare for battle over homes plan
10:00pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News
BATTLELINES have been drawn over controversial proposals to build more than 200 homes on the outskirts of Colne.
Land off Knotts Lane, once used as railway sidings, has been identified for the sprawling development by Persimmon Homes.
But a groundswell of opposition has greeted the bid, amid fears it will damage an important wildlife corridor.
Lancashire Wildlife Trust has lodged a protest, claiming that the site, as 'open mosaic grassland' is of significant importance.
And Colne Town Council has voiced concerns that the development - which they consider to be 'poorly designed' - is not viable and will remain empty like apartments at the top of Knotts Lane.
Residents have written a number of letters to planners, insisting the land is a 'natural breathing space' for Colne.
Some have suggested that the Knotts Lane enclave and nearby Gib Hill should be incorporated into an urban park.
County officials have asked for £82,000 to fund bus and transport upgrades.
The proposals, recommended for approval by officials, will be considered by Colne's area committee on Thursday at the town hall from 7pm.

Payday lenders were recently summoned to a government summit debating "widespread irresponsible lending" to query whether more regulation is needed, so it is certainly a view shared by more than a handful of people. However, Damelin argued that you know you're doing something worthwhile when there's a continued demand for it, saying the figures speak for themselves. The company was setup in 2007 and now processes over £1bn payments and has one million users. "It's one of the faster growing technology businesses," Damelin added. "The financial services are regulated and in my view the world is becoming more regulated in general since the lessons learned in 2008. We're a part of the conversation, and it's going to be a long conversation. People are welcome to their views, and we polarise some people. We understand that. But as entrepreneurs we are creative directors to a degree, and [it's our job to make] something worthwhile creating, not necessarily something everybody loves. We de-stress lives and small businesses are there because we are there."The success of Wonga, says Damelin, is down to a growing trend for a "consumer led approach" in every sector. Brands like Skype, he says, have had success because they put customers at the forefront of their proposition. "It was clear in 2005 there were already hero brands transforming what consumers wanted to do. Simply by solving everyday needs these brands were changing consumer relationships in industries that had existed for decades and what was obvious was that nobody was doing this in finance. It really was because incumbents were stuck in the past. Banks stopped putting customers at the centre, products started being created by lawyers and marketers and they treated people like idiots. People and small businesses got tired of that.""People want to be taken seriously and treated with a degree of dignity, they appreciate transparency and the incumbents had forgotten about that and it's a source of opportunity for businesses today."Damelin says Wonga's success is down to it sticking to its three principles of transparency, flexibility -- giving customers exactly what they want, rather than the products banks try to sell -- and being selective (its system uses thousands of bits of data to decide in moments whether or not a request should be approved -- "we've moved beyond the world of anecdotal judgements and decisions. We're very bad at that as humans. We leave that to the machine now"). By doing so, it is giving customers choices they've never had before, with no minimum lending amounts and timeframes that can be manipulated by the customer, while getting rid of "substandard" processes such as overdrafts charges and late fees."Customers have responded fairly democratically."

Alum impacts current students
February 01, 2010
Worry affects all of us, especially college students; but meditating on Scripture can provide a sure antidote, said a Bryan alumnus who shared his personal story during the January 27 chapel program.
Bob Pettus talks to students about how to be a positive
influence when working in the business world.
Robert Pettus, retired executive vice president of Coca-Cola Consolidated in Charlotte, N.C., told how he experienced firsthand both the problems created by worrying and the healing found in God's word. He discussed how the recent death of loved ones contributed to raised levels of anxiety in his own life that resulted in panic attacks. He encouraged students to pray and meditate on Scripture as a Biblical response to anxiety, citing Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Listen to or download this chapel message podcast.
Following the chapel service, Mr. Pettus spoke with a group of students and faculty members at lunch about his experience in the corporate world, including efforts to create a stewardship program and to provide chaplains for company employees. The stewardship program encourages volunteerism, assists single parents and widowed employees, and has a prison ministry. The chaplains visit corporate facilities regularly and are available to employees around the clock for support. Business major Olivia Pool ('10) asked how Mr. Pettus was able to leverage such a large company to do so much good for others, and he said that he genuinely believed "our company was a resource given to us by God."
Students attending a luncheon with Bob Pettus included, from left, Evan Johnson, Olivia Pool, John Moore, and Amelia Pool.
Since retiring, Mr. Pettus has been speaking to companies interested in starting stewardship programs similar to the one at Coca-Cola Consolidated. He and his wife, Marilyn, also have established a scholarship for bi-racial and Native Americans at Bryan. "I know that they won't be able to get a better Christian education than the one they are getting here at Bryan," he said.
Bryan President Dr. Stephen Livesay described Mr. Pettus as being "the epitome of a Bryan alum who is living out our mission in a variety of unique and meaningful ways. Bob is truly a humble and gifted servant of Christ who is responsive to the Holy Spirit's leading in making a difference in the lives of many individuals."

The McLean County Sheriff's Office has launched a criminal investigation after an incident involving three middle school boys off-campus.
Some parents said their children heard rumors at school that made them feel uncomfortable.
One parent told us her daughters came home from school this week after hearing a rumor that two eighth grade students had sexually assaulted another student. The sheriff's office says only part of that rumor is true.
"Anytime an incident comes to our attention whether it's me, the assistant principal or the counselor or any employee in the building we immediately contact law enforcement and I contact the superintendent also and make sure we are following the necessary steps," said Principal Shannon Lindsey.
McLean County Middle School Principal Shannon Lindsey says she alerted the sheriff's office Monday when she learned there had been a possible assault on Saturday evening.
Sheriff Frank Cox says his office was notified on Sunday and an investigation was launched.
School officials say the staff is aware of the sensitive nature of the incident.
"I've debriefed the teachers to have them on lookout to have them watching for any student that may have signs of discomfort, nervousness or upset, and I asked them to let me know when we...I immediately address those students to try to ease their mind and to let them know they are going to be safe here," said Lindsey.
Officials say it is a serious matter and students should not be making light of the situation. Staff members and counselors are in the building to talk to children who may have concerns.
"I try to pass in the hallways and watch and they know that we have an open door policy and they can come to me at anytime or the counselor or the assistant principal and I do feel like they feel comfortable and will come to us if they have any concerns," said Lindsey.
School officials want to reiterate that their number one priority is to make students feel comfortable at school. We'll continue to follow this on-going investigation.

Just the other day, technically-but-not-really Texas Ranger Brandon Webb made his first official minor league rehab start. After a few outings in extended spring training, Webb threw for AA Frisco, which was supposed to be a big step in his recovery. However, Webb was miserable over his 3-1/3 innings, allowing eight hits and walking two while hovering in the low- to mid-80s. And Thursday, we get this, via Jeff Wilson:
Brandon Webb taken off rehab with inflammation in his rotator cuff. Taking anti-inflammatories. Must be down 7 days before new assignment.
One step forward, one step back. Webb's shoulder is barking again, and he'll have to take a break before getting back to pitching. Meaning what was supposed to be a sign of progress is instead a sign of no movement, or at least no overall displacement.
Webb was a known gamble when the Rangers signed him as a free agent, and one probably shouldn't count on their getting anything out of him before he becomes a free agent again this coming fall.

CORONADO—For the first time since his swearing in, Vice President Joe Biden made an appearance in San Diego. He and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden flew into Naval Air Station North Island on Air Force 2 just before noon Thursday. On the agenda among other things, lunch with the sailors aboard USS Ronald Reagan.
"On behalf of the crew of the Aircraft Carrier USS Ronald Reagan," said Vice Admiral Thomas J. Kilcline, Jr., Commander, Naval Air Forces. "The sailors of the Ronald Reagan Strike Group and all the members of our navy family, welcome to San Diego."
Prior to boarding the carrier, both Mr. Biden and Dr. Biden spoke to the assembled crowd.
"It is our sacred duty to take care of the men and women who serve this country," said Dr. Biden. "I want you to know that this country appreciates your courage and your strength."
The Vice President centered his remarks around military personnel and their families and the sacrifices they make every day. He also spoke to the debt owed by Americans remaining at home.
"And for that, I thank you. And for that, a grateful nation owes you," he said. "And your families are making significant sacrifices as well."
During his 15 minute speech, the Vice President also mentioned the Recovery Act.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that is why the Recovery Act that you read about includes more than 7 billion dollars in addition to the regular yearly budget. More than 7 billion dollars for military construction projects, new hospitals, childcare centers, better housing at all our defense installations across this entire country," he said. "Here in Coronado that means 138 million dollars for 11 new projects to modernize your facilities and generally improve your quality of life."
Sailors said hearing from the Vice President was inspirational.
"I heard him say that he among other Americans, are very grateful for what we do and they appreciate everything that we do," said Grant Grilo. "I heard exactly how much he supports us and that is what I really wanted to hear," said Ciena Faeth. "That he supports what we are doing and he understands what we are doing."
Another sailor said he appreciated the prayer Dr. Biden read.
"It was very interesting as far as his speech, his wife's speech and the prayer, especially, that really touched me," said Kristopher Cabuhat.
That prayer said Dr. Biden, was given to her by a general's wife when the Biden's son, a member of the Delaware National Guard was deployed.
"I think it is only fitting that I leave you with a prayer that will hopefully offer you and your families some solace in the days ahead," she said. "Dear God, I pray to give each soldier the courage and strength to do the duty that is required of them. May they always remember our appreciation for the sacrifice they are making for us. We are thankful for the men and women who are willing to risk their lives to protect our freedom. I ask you to go with each one of them, and protect them wherever they go. Amen."

Memphis City Schools Board member Rev. Kenneth Whalum wants answers. He's filed another lawsuit asking the Shelby County Election Commission for documentation regarding errors made in the Aug. 2 primary election.
MORE: Read the lawsuit
It comes two days after the State of Tennessee Comptroller's office released its audit of the election commission.
Whalum addressed two items at his press conference Thursday afternoon. The first was the lawsuit against the election commission demanding documents from them. The other was his response to the comptroller's audit.
Rev. Whalum says the most incriminatory evidence in the audit says that the election commission's primary responsibility is to conduct elections, but that they have not been able to do so without significant inaccuracies.
While the audit says they found no "intentional mistakes," Whalum's recent filing says the election commission is concealing the mistakes made in the recent election.
He says the commission is "stonewalling" his litigation and is trying to "cook the books," even though the comptroller's office says they have made mistakes.
"The comptroller went out of his way to say, 'we did not find any evidence of an intent to mess up.' Went out of their way to say it, but on the same page they say, 'these errors messed up the election.'"
FOX13 News tried to contact the election commission, but directed us to their lawyers who are out of town until Monday.

U.S. Steel gains after Credit Suisse upgrades on pricing outlook
Shares of U.S. Steel (X) are climbing after Credit Suisse upgraded the stock by two notches, saying that the company should benefit from an improved pricing environment and raw material cost advantages. WHAT'S NEW: An increase in U.S. demand for steel, along with tariffs that have been imposed on foreign steel producers and the possibility that additional tariffs will be imposed, are keeping U.S. steel prices far higher than previously anticipated, Credit Suisse analyst Nathan Littlewood wrote in a note to investors earlier today. Additionally, production at a number of American steel mills has been curtailed, the analyst stated. Moreover, U.S. Steel can obtain raw materials relatively cheaply, enabling it to produce some of the lowest cost steel in North America, Littlewood stated. U.S. Steel should become one of the most profitable steel makers in the world, according to Littlewood, who upgraded his rating on the shares to Outperform from Underperform and hiked his price target on the stock to $50 from $25. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Littlewood downgraded his rating on another name in the sector, Steel Dynamics (STLD), to Neutral from Outperform. Although the company has a high quality business, the recent outperformance by the stock caused the analyst to downgrade the name. Littlewood kept a $23 price target on the shares. On Friday, UBS wrote that the threat of new tariffs on imported steel could prevent U.S. steel prices from dropping significantly. The filing of requests for additional tariffs on foreign steel, or even the threat of such filings, could keep steel prices from declining in the short-term, the firm predicted. UBS upgraded AK Steel (AKS) to Neutral from Sell, while raising its price target on Nucor (NUE) to $11 from $6 and keeping a Buy rating on that stock. The firm raised its price target on U.S. Steel to $38 from $28 but kept a Neutral rating on the shares. PRICE ACTION: In late morning trading, U.S. Steel advanced 2.6% to $38.81, Steel Dynamics lost 0.3% to $23.24, AK Steel gained 2% to $10.89, and Nucor climbed 1% to $54.23.

U.S. Steel CEO comments on affirmative decision by ITC in OCTG trade case
United States Steel President and CEO Mario Longhi issued the following statement in response to the International Trade Commission's affirmative final vote in a trade case on Oil Country Tubular Goods against eight countries including South Korea. The company, the largest integrated producer of tubular products headquartered in the United States, was a petitioner in the case. Longhi's statement follows: "United States Steel Corporation is pleased with the International Trade Commission's affirmative final vote to impose anti-dumping orders against six of the nine countries that are dumping Oil Country Tubular Goods into the market. U. S. Steel will continue to evaluate all of its options, including further litigation, with regards to Saudi Arabia, who was excluded from the International Trade Commission's final vote as a result of an amended final determination from the Department of Commerce, and the two countries, Thailand and the Philippines, for which the ITC reached a negative determination. The International Trade Commission's diligent and conscientious investigation and affirmative final vote clearly recognized that these six countries, which represent more than 90% of the unfairly traded imports that entered the U.S. market in 2013, imported OCTG using unfair methods and market distorting pricing. The dumped imports from all nine countries have caused material injury to the American market and the American worker. Orders have been reduced, mills idled and jobs have been lost. We are satisfied that the affirmative vote will ensure a more competitive and fairer OCTG market for American manufacturing and American workers. While U. S. Steel will continue on our own path toward sustainable profitability and to supply our customers with innovative steel solutions, we also intend to seek transformative, meaningful change to our trade laws to ensure that fairness will exist and is preserved, which can lead to a brighter future for American industry."

12oz Bottle
Appearance – Clear yellow colour with an average size fizzy white coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation showing and there is a fair amount of lacing. The head lasted for around 4 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Grains, bread, malts, corn
Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation. I can taste breads/grains mixed with light hops and some corn. There is also a touch of an apple or pear juice sweetness.. The beer finishes with a slightly spicy corn syrup aftertaste.
Overall – I wasn't expecting much with this beer.. and it met my expectations. It really is unremarkable and I have no reason to ever drink it again.

I've been leery of trying this because I was under the impression it was a typical adjunct lager, and probably never would have tried it if it hadn't come in a variety pack. I'm relieved that the style implies it's at least a step above the average macro, but we'll see.
Pours a deep yellow colour that reminds me of apple juice or urine. An aggressive pour produced a half-inch of head that vanished within a minute. No lacing to speak of; even the surface is mostly translucent except for a ring of foam around the edge. Not a lot of bubbles from the bottom either; this is the only thing that would allow me to distinguish it from most Canadian macro lagers. Smell is the dictionary definition of nondescript, maybe a little bit of malt. Not a great start.
Fortunately this beer is actually reasonably tasty. A little bit of sweet malt on the tongue, with a twinge of bitterness at the end. The description on the side of the can, which I didn't notice until I had already tasted the beer, describes it as an "all-malt lager" that is "easy on the hops". If nothing else, their assessment is fairly accurate. A clean-tasting lager, without any off-putting adjunctiness. Very straightforward, but refreshing. Mouthfeel seems watery at first but is actually a bit creamy. Carbonation level is surprisingly low and allows you to actually enjoy the flavour.
Gopher gets a thumbs-up, and at only a dollar a 6-pack more vs. your average domestic macro lager, it's at least worth a try. It's certainly a step above Bud and Canadian. The problem is that Gopher is still likely to get lost in the shuffle between craft beer enthusiasts, who are likely to go for more exotic offerings, and macro drinkers who are content to stick with something slightly worse for slightly less money.

341ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass.
A - One finger of bone-white head that quickly dissipates into nothing. Very bright yellow hue.
S - Smell is made up of simple grains with a touch of citrus. Barely anything here.
T - Taste follows suit with the smell. A little stronger on the grain, with notes of citrus and light sweetness still there. Very simple, but I don't really mind it.
M - Medium to light carbonation and vey thin body; drinks like water.
D - Very drinkable without feeling to much like a mass-produced lager, but doesn't really do anything for. It's smooth and doesn't taste bad, but that's it.

A - Nothing special. Pale straw colour. Looks like a typical pale lager: Canadian, Budweiser, etc. There is a thin head that quickly disappears.
S - Sweet. Kind of like roasted corn or something.
T - Starts out tart, and then turns sweet. Finishes on some light maltyness. The sweetness stays. Nothing special.
M - Really thin. The bubbles are fairly fine, lending to a sort of smoothness.
D - Pretty good. I could see myself slamming a few of these on a camping trip during the summer.
Overall, I'm not too impressed. I think I'll stick to Canadian or something if I want a decent bland lager.

A: Pours a clear yellow with about one finger worth of foamy head. Settles to a ring around the glass and doesn't leave any lace.
S: It has a grainy aroma. Maybe some hops but I'm second guessing myself.
T: It has almost a sweet grainy taste not very complex.
M: Medium carbonation with a light to medium body.
D: It would make for a good session beer. I would prefer this to any BMC product but compared to any craft beer this would take a back seat.

A aggressive pour produced a bubbly one finger white head on a clear lemon yellow. The head soon diminished to a thin cap. Some patchy lacing stuck around for a while.
Grassy malt smells. Some metallic notes. The taste was surprisingly smooth and fruity with a very subdued hop finish. Some grassy metallic notes.
Light body. Moderate carbonation. A good refreshing summer beer. Better than I expected. A very drinkable version of a drinkable style.

Golden yellow appearance with decent head. Smell is hard to detect. It does have a grassy, citrus hint to it though.
Taste is also very light, picked up a grassy, grain taste though. There is a hint of corn. Body is a bit watery but clean with decent carbonation. Aftertaste is surprisingly very malty.
Overall this seems like a good summer beer. Nothing extraordinary, but refreshing. Would recommend a try.

new on tap at RATT on the U of A campus.
The beer arrives quickly with 1 finger of dense white head which fades quickly and leaves no lacing at all. The rest of it is just kind of... lifeless. pale yellow, although not quite the fizz bomb I was expecting. actually there isnt much carbonation at all. It just kind of sits there.
The beer smells very clean, as in very little going on. There is some sweet grassy notes and no hops to speak of.
The taste is very much the same as the smell. a little grass, a little hay, a little grain. no bitterness really. The nice thing is that its not ridiculously sweet or corny or...gross really. Big rock says that Gopher is an "all malt" lager, and this seems to be the case. nothing off-putting, nothing to knock your socks off either though.
The mouth feels a watery, but far less fizzy than expected. Finishes slightly dry.
Drinkability is high. It is pretty neutral in that it isn't life changing and it isnt bad. It would be really easy to put away a few of these without a second thought, cause really, there isnt much to think about. Its a summer bbq lawnmower beer and it suits its purpose.

Pours a very pale yellow, lots of carbonation and a thin white head. I haven't seen a beer this pale in a long time. Almost looks like yellow coloured water.
Smells sort of metallic at first. Some sharp zesty citrus notes, sweet grains, not much here.
Tastes like it smells. Somewhat sweet, finishes slightly hoppy. Pretty good for a lager.
This is an extremely drinkable beer, one of the best thirst quenching lagers I've had, but nothing special.

Poured a 341-ml bottle into a long tulip glass.
Appearance - pale yellow colour with moderate carbonation. Little to no head with only a thin ring of lace around the edge.
Smell - a steady, sweet malt aroma with some light cream.
Taste - thin and watery followed by a small breakthrough to some decent mild malt overtones. Low bitters on the end with a wet finish.
Mouthfeel - very inoffensive and well balanced.
Drinkability - this goes down easy with no effort. It is overpriced for what it is but can be consumed in quantity at a good pace.

Scored a bottle of this off my neighbour. I've had it once before in the summer, but it from what I recall it was pretty average.
A - Pours a crystal clear golden colour, with a thin film of head after an aggressive pour, no retention, no lacing with moderate body carbonation.
S - Grassy hops, sweet corn and sour lemon. Reminiscent of a pale Euro lager.
T - Much like the scent with the grassy hops coming off the top, followed by a grainy bready malt that lingers on the finish.
M - Medium body, not overly carbonated, but not too thin. No real complaints here.
D - Nothing memorable here. It's by no means terrible, it's just not all that memorable. I would never turn one down, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to get one.

A CAN of CANadian beer in support of The CANQuest (TM), if you CAN dig it! Thanks, BigBry.
From the CAN: "No pesky rodent here! A North-AmeriCAN-style all-malt lager. No Additives or adjuncts. A clean, sunny flavour, easy on the hops. Warning: may rapidly take over your fridge." "Simple ingredients. Extraordinary taste. Truly CANadian."
The Crack & Glug produced just better than a finger of bubbly, bone-white head with low retention. Color was a golden-yellow with NE-quality clarity. I do not know what the sun tastes like, but it had a sunny cast to its color. Nose was refreshing in that it smelled like straightforward lager. It helps, as a consumer, to understand that all-malt means no-adjuncts. There simply are not enough non-adjunct lagers in a CAN to suit me. Mouthfeel was medium with a pleasant lager sweetness on the tongue. Finish was sweet with a honey-like flavor that reminded me of what lager should taste like. This was very pleasant, easily drinkable and a good CANdidate for the cooler.

If you saw a picture of Gopher Lager in an album, you'd probably flip right by it without a second thought. Its stock yellow colour and bubbly patch of head isn't unattractive, but it's all too familiar and, frankly, dull enough to stimulate only disinterest. Commonplace isn't inherently bad, but at least give me some bubbles, highlights or lacing to look at! Geez.
When it comes to lagers it's simple: there's a right way of brewing them and there's a wrong way. Most commercial brewers emasculate their beers by using adjuncts such as rice or corn and some even dilute them with things like corn syrup. True brewers, however, understand that a plain, pale lager must be, above any other style, irreproachably clean.
From what I can tell, Big Rock did things the right way. This doesn't exhibit much of a 'corny' taste or smell nor does it seem soiled by any syrups or extracts. The taste is agreeable, if only for lacking the aforementioned, and suits the bill for a thin, thoughtless, flavorless, mainstream kind of lager. For the brewery, that's likely all that counted.
And granted, compared to (some of the same brewery's own) heavily adulterated, low-budget, low-grade lagers this is a slice of cake. It doesn't have the cloying syrupy texture, the overly corny taste or the raw fusel alcohol. On the same hand, it doesn't have any of the toothsome malty flavour or the wholesomeness of a quality beer neither.
It seems Big Rock didn't dilute their beer any further because they didn't need to; instead, they just brewed a beer that was naturally tasteless and watery. And in some ways that's no better than brewing something completely unpalatable - either way, it doesn't really hit the spot, either way it's not really anything to proud or excited to drink.

A new brand from Big Rock, need some new cans to trade. From the label - "No pesky rodent here! North-American-style all-malt lager. No Additives or adjuncts. A clean, sunny flavour, easy on the hops. Warning: may rapidly take over your fridge." (not sure what flavour the sun is?!)...
Pours clear, pale yellow color and has a thin, white head. Foam quickly disappears leaving a thin ring, then nothing. No lacing or retention.
A bit sweet smelling, slight grassy malt aroma, faint if any hop aromas. The flavor has some more grassy hay flavor, sweet, a bit floral or honey note. The finish is dry. No real hop bitterness or balance (oh yeah - "easy on the hops" they said). Mouthfeel / body is thin and slightly watery, lots of carbonation bubbles. It is easy to drink, but as a thirst quencher on a hot day.

A- Well this pours a crystal clear pale yellow color and has a snow white fizzy head that vanishes very quickly, only leaving a thin ring around the glass. There are loads of big bubbly carbonation columns and there is no lacing to speak of. Not a good start.
S- Quite sweet smelling, as there is a fairly dominant malt aroma. Beyond this, there are some dry grassy smells and is somewhat skunked. On the finish, there are some faint hop aromas. Overall, a slightly better macro lager smell.
T- The flavor is dominated by dry grassy flavors, as well as some raw grain. It is slightly floral as well....it's like a hint of herbal tea mixed in. The finish is somewhat bitter but nothing special. There isn't a lack of flavor here, but what is there is not that good.
M- It's thin and watery, which is what a plain ol' lager should feel like I guess. It's richly carbonated but as it warms, it loses some of the zing....however it isn't much.
D- It's easy enough to drink and I know I could drink as much as I could handle beer wise, but I think the overall flavors and body would make me want to move on....like most macro lagers would do. I think Big Rock dropped the ball on this one. It's similar to XO but not quite as good IMO.

bought a 6 pack just to try, according the the SLGA worker, this beer is replacing XO Lager, which was a Czech style, this one is claimed to be a North-American-style all-malt lager with no adjuncts or additives...
A it's a light straw color with a fast fading head and minimal lacing.
S the beer is grainy, sweet, clean smelling... nothing distinct or 'above and beyond' here though, just not terrible.
T sweet with a bit of citrus and grains. quite pleasant and the best part about it, which is the most important.
M it's thin and has medium heavy carbonation, it's pretty fizzy and makes you belch like crazy.
D unfortunately, it falls into the yard work beer catagory. it's livable, but just not enough distinction to get me to sway away from my other top choices.

The Conservation Experience is a 2-week program which is suitable for people who enjoy outdoor activities, and want to be actively involved in conservation volunteer activities such as tree planting, track construction, wildlife surveys and heritage restoration projects. The volunteers you will be working alongside come from a wide range of backgrounds: students, professionals, international visitors and retirees, all who come with the same experience in mind - to try their hand at something meaningful, unique and fun! You don`t need any prior skills or experience, just the willingness to get involved. Taking part in conservation work is a great way to see different parts of Australia and New Zealand, away from the tourist areas and to learn about preserving and protecting wildlife and natural resources. You will be taught all the skills required on-site, and receive comprehensive orientations. This Conservation Experience offers the chance to do something really different, to make a contribution, to enjoy outdoor living, and learn about conservation. All volunteers receive a certificate at the end of their experience to add to your CV, any altruistic project work always looks good with prospective employers!
General Information
Well, each project has a central meeting point, as listed in the departure section. You and your fellow volunteers will be picked up to travel to the project site to minimise vehicle usage, returning to the same point to drop volunteer off at the end of the project. All meals are provided; and everyone helps with the cooking, cleaning and washing up. Don`t worry if you`re not a great cook as everyone can do something to help, even if it`s just chopping vegetables. Fresh produce, meat and vegetables are used as often as possible although this cannot be guaranteed every day, particularly on remote projects far from shops, so you`ll need to make allowances. Special diets, such as vegetarian, vegan or food allergies, can be catered for - please remember to advise us when you book.
Accommodation varies according to project and location. Typical accommodation can include caravans, hostels, shearer`s quarters, bunkhouses, and camping (we supply tents). Volunteers should bring a sleeping mat as well as a sleeping bag, and be prepared to share.

This comes just days after the ACLU filed a lawsuit over the
state's ban on same-sex marriage.
As the Attorney General, Kane is responsible for defending
the law in court.
But, it's complicated- because she says she supports
marriage equality.
So far, Kane has been silent about the lawsuit.
She is expected to talk about it at a news conference at

Welcome to America's Paradise, the US Virgin Islands. USVI.net is the oldest and longest running travel portal about the US Virgin Islands. We are based in the US Virgin Islands and shop, eat, and enjoy all there is here. This means we are able to review and verify comments on our site before being made publicly available. Please feel free to return here and enter your thoughts of places you have visited to help others.
There are three main islands to visit in the US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. There is also the small, but historically interesting Water Island.
St Thomas Island is home of Charlotte Amalie and the capital of the US Virgin Islands. It is the most popular cruise port in the Caribbean. Charlotte Amalie is the principle cruise terminal as well as the location of the airport on the island.
St. Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands at 82 square miles in area. The island consists of two distinct towns; Christiansted and Frederiksted. The architectural quality and historic interest of the one-time Danish West Indies capital has made part of Christiansted (founded in 1734) a National Historic Site.
St. John is primarily a US National Park and provides an incredible vantage of nature in the Caribbean. Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park volunteers staff an information kiosk on the island. Spend day after day on beach after beach, each with its own panoramic view. Camp under the stars, or let a friendly mongoose lead you along a woodland trail. Many of the trails end on a plateau high in the sky, offering panoramic views of white beaches, emerald cays, and turquoise waters.
Water Island is the smallest of the US Virgin Islands at under 1.3 square miles. Only a short 10 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas if you're looking for something more than shopping, but not as rugged as St. John you will find it here. To help get around the island you can rent golf carts.
Some of the things you can do on the US Virgin Islands include sailing, scuba and skin diving, water skiing and most other water sports. Taking in a round of golf or horse back riding are also options if you have more time. If you're staying over night take the time to enjoy the night life.
If you are looking for a tropical wedding location but don't want to worry about passports – this is the perfect place! Imagine being wed on the beach at Magens Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Receptions can be held at any number of locations from beaches to five star hotels and anywhere in between. With scheduled daily flights provided by American, Delta, Jet Blue, and United from major mainland hubs Atlanta and Miami the Islands are a reasonable location for those along the eastern seaboard.
Things to know about the US Virgin Islands:
- No passports are required for US Citizens,
- You can bring back up to 5 litres of alcohol duty free,
- Driving is on the left hand side of the road,
- British and Canadian travellers can reach the islands easily via British Airways and Westjet code shares. St. John is worth the trip.

The city is planning a celebration that is a century in the making.
Friday afternoon, Mayor Domenic Sarno announced plans for the Springfield Municipal Group's 100th anniversary celebration.
The municipal group is made up of City Hall, Symphony Hall, and the clock tower in between the two buildings.
The great-grandson of former Springfield Mayor John Denison, who was in office when the buildings opened in 1913, said it is an honor to be part of the festivities.
"The kind of interesting thing today is that 100 year connection," said Jonathan Fantini Porter. "The city's key that was handed to my great-grandfather, in a sense kind of unlocked opportunity and growth for Springfield. That key has now come back to Springfield for the first time in 100 years."
The 100th anniversary celebration will be Dec. 6-8.
It will include two concerts at Symphony Hall.

MADISON (WKOW) -- In November of 2012, Governor Scott Walker decided Wisconsin would not set up a state-run health insurance exchange under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, saying there would be no real benefit to it.
That means Wisconsin will have its exchange run by the federal government.
But an official with the Obama administration says there may be some disadvantages to that choice after all.
Kenneth Munson, the Director of the Great Lakes area (Region 5) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, met with state lawmakers and health care stakeholders Thursday about the federal exchange that goes into effect in January of 2014.
Executives from hospital, insurance and patient associations had a lot of questions for Munson about exactly how the federal health insurance exchange will work here in Wisconsin.
"One of the biggest challenges that the exchange faces is making sure uninsured people and insured people, and businesses get good information. What are the choices? What are the costs of the different choices?," asked David Riemer of the Community Advocates for Public Policy Institute, an advocacy group for low-income people.
Munson is very clear that this process would have been more smooth if Wisconsin had opted for a state-run exchange, or a state-federal partnership.
"Where you have the state-direct involvement, you have a different kind of infrastructure. And in a lot of those places you've had weeks or months or years of meetings around all of these issues, so, its just in most of the state exhanges its been more organized," said Munson.
In states like Wisconsin, HHS is relying on ad hoc meetings, such as the one set up by Senator Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton) on Thursday.
"The exchanges that are operated by the federal government in the states, will not be as state specific, by definition," said Munson. "And the challenge of figuring out what kind of input you get and how you get it, like today, what we've seen today is a little bit of a challenge.
Challenges include not just the set up of exchange, but how its marketed so that people will understand when and how to use the exchange to buy insurance.
But Wisconsin consumers likely won't get a message specifically tailored to them.
"We're working now in setting up exchanges, the federal exchanges in a number of states. That kind of customization is not really realistic at this stage," said Munson.
The good news is that Wisconsin stakeholders have eight months to help HHS meet their needs.
October is when the initial enrollment period for the health insurance exchange begins.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

As a child Denison Farm Market Master and Stonewall Apiary owner Stuart Woronecki use to watch his elderly neighbor work in the orchard and beehives next door.
"I was fascinated by the honeybees," Woronecki recalled.
He turned that fascination into a career beginning with a few honeybee colonies in his yard making honey for himself and his family. Nine years ago after increasing the yard to ten colonies he began selling his products at the Denison Farm Market. Now, he has a beekeeping business of nearly 200 honeybee colonies in Hanover, Conn.
"This year we harvested several thousands pounds of honey and hundreds of ponds of beeswax," Woronecki said. "It has been hard work building it up, but the rewards and the enjoyment are worth it."
Woronecki hopes to pass on his fascination to others. For the second year Woronecki is teaching a Beginner Beekeeping course at the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center.
"I developed the class because many of my honey customers expressed interest in keeping bees on their own."
Last year's class was so popular in fact it sold out quickly that Woronecki is also teaching another class in Coventry.
The DPNC began offering beekeeping workshops several years ago through various partnerships with local beekeepers.
"We have seen interest in participating in beekeeping rise," Chelle Farrand Director of Marketing & Communications for the DPNC said. "Many people have become concerned about the plight of the bees or are interested in home farming and sustainability."
The DPNC sells Stonewall Apiary products in its store and Woronecki has a bee yard at the Denison Society property across the street. The DPNC reached out to Woronecki about teaching the class.
"I had never realized the Nature Center had classroom space so it had never occurred to me to ask them about using it," Woronecki said. "It was only serendipity that connected my idea for a larger-scale class with their interest for a beekeeping-themed class."
The course includes four, two and half hour sessions. Woronecki said the first session covers the various types of beekeeping equipment, tools, and protective clothing. The second session deals with the various types of honeybees found in the colony and the differences in their life cycles throughout the year. The third session covers pests and diseases that can affect honeybees. The final class covers any topics not finished up in one of the previous classes, plus harvesting honey and beeswax, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
"It's important that beginning beekeepers know what they're doing, both to enhance their own enjoyment and also to try to protect the honeybee stock in eastern Connecticut,"
By the end of the class participants should be able to prepare to keep healthy honeybee colonies.
Farrand said she hopes the class makes more happy bees.
