Metallic shoes

The Holiday season is here! The streets are so cheerful, bright and sparkly, full of holiday spirit! It’s no wonder most of us want to incorporate that in our looks as well.

Metallic shoes are your new neutral for the festive season: they give that oomph to every look, brighten and uplift any styling combination, and are bound to become your “go to” pair for any occasion this season. Here you can find some great suggestions from our Winter 2016 collection:

Our 643 booties have all it takes to become a seasonal staple: the lush suede, the metallic detail that gives them that almost “frosted” look: there is so much to love about this pair.

Match our 811 style with a pair of cheeky patterned socks - tights optional. This is such a trendy look this season, especially when worn with a midi skirt.

Metallic ankle boots

The original silhouette and the lust worthy metallic make this pair that much more suitable for Holidays. The 661 ankle boots are beloved by many and we definitely know why. Sleek, metallic and super stylish, this pair is so versatile, you can wear it into summer. A great option for those who like the festive vibe but still want to obtain a polished look.

For the preppy gals - may we suggest our 296 oxfords? The classic silhouette, updated with a modern platform and a metallic finish, make this pair a great everyday option for those who like to incorporate menswear touches into their outfits.

Now that we have your Holiday shoe wardrobe issues sorted, make sure to head over to our shop - all those styles are now on sale!

The US Can't Run the Show in the Middle East

It's time for the Europeans to get more active in diplomatic efforts

by Leon Hadar

It feels like déjà vu all over again. A U.S. official leaves for a conference in East Asia where he or she is supposed to discuss issues that affect the interests of the governments and economies in the region. Instead, the American representative ends up investing most of his or her time and energy in trying to resolve another Middle East crisis.

Indeed, this was expected to be a Southeast Asian week for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who was scheduled to fly to Malaysia for the ASEAN regional forum, and after concluding talks with officials from the region, return to Washington. But her trip to Kuala Lumpur will probably be recalled now as nothing more than a short stopover in between her extensive and more important efforts to deal with the mounting violence in the Middle East.

On her way to Southeast Asia, Ms. Rice spent several days of shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East, followed by an international conference in Rome, as part of an effort to bring a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hezbollah that has already resulted in hundreds of casualties and appalling destruction in Lebanon (as a consequence of Israeli aerial bombing) and in northern Israel (caused by hundreds of missiles launched by Hezbollah guerillas).

And on her way back from Malaysia, the United States' chief diplomat held more talks with Israeli and Arab officials as she tried to find ways to reach an agreement that she insisted would lead to the release of Israeli soldiers who had been kidnapped by Hezbollah (the development that ignited the current crisis), the disarming of Hezbollah's militias in exchange for Israeli willingness to discuss the return of Lebanese citizens it has been holding for several years, as well as resolving the fate of disputed land on the border of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria.

Most U.S. allies, including the ones that Ms. Rice met in Kuala Lumpur, would like to see an immediate cease-fire in the Mideast. But Ms. Rice and her boss, President George W. Bush – as he made clear during a press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Friday in Washington – seem to have given Israel a green light to continue its assault on Hezbollah until the Shi'ite group is so damaged it is forced to raise a white flag.

That this has been a very long and grueling week of diplomacy for Secretary Rice becomes obvious when one studies her body language during press conferences. She looks as if she's under a lot of pressure. That is not surprising when one takes into consideration the problems she has been facing as she tries to juggle the many and contradictory U.S. commitments – to Israel, which the Bush administration and Congress regard as a close U.S. ally; to the fledging democracy of Lebanon, where Hezbollah is part of the cabinet; to the pro-American Arab-Sunni regimes in Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia; and to a Arab-Shi'ite government in Iraq with close ties to Iran. The U.S. has the ambition of achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians, isolating and containing Syria and Iran, promoting political and economic freedom in the Middle East, and securing access to oil resources in the Persian Gulf.

Secretary Rice's failure to fulfill all of these costly commitments and achieve these many goals has less to do with her personal charm and diplomatic skills and more with the fact that the United States is reaching a point in which it seems not to have the power anymore to advance its agenda in the Middle East, which combines a realpolitik drive toward hegemony with a Wilsonian crusade for democracy.

To put it simply, the United States has too much on its Middle Eastern plate, and it is clearly beginning to lose its leverage over the main players in the region. As America's allies in East Asia are discovering, this means the U.S. has less time and resources to devote to other policy issues.

You don't have to be a great strategic thinker to reach these conclusions. Just glance at the headlines in your daily newspaper and watch the latest news on television and you get the picture: The United States is overstretched militarily in an Iraq, which is experiencing a form of civil war that threatens to split the country, where the rise of an Arab-Shi'ite-dominated government has helped Iran to emerge as the main regional power in the Persian Gulf and a source of inspiration for Shi'ites in the entire region.

All that has been happening as Washington tries without much success to force Iran to end its plans to acquire nuclear military capability. The Americans have succeeded in evicting the Syrians from Lebanon, but that has created a military vacuum that helped to strengthen the power of Hezbollah there. And the U.S. has made little effort to revive the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. In fact, the push for democracy in Palestine has brought to power the radical Hamas movement.

That does not mean that the U.S. is a global power in decline like, say, Great Britain and France were after World War II, as they were gradually ejected from the Middle East by the Americans (and the Soviets). But the unilateral and hegemonic project that the U.S. has been trying to establish in the Middle East since the end of the Cold War, beginning with the 1991 Gulf War, is probably coming to an end.

The kind of challenges that America is facing now in Iraq, Israel/Palestine, and Lebanon, including the rising power of radical political Islamic movements, growing ethnic and religious tensions (including between Sunnis and Shi'ites), an increasing number of failed states, and threats from non-state actors, cannot be dealt with through this Democratic Empire project.

Making Way for Others

There are limits to Washington's ability to invest its economic and military resources in such a project, especially if one considers the unwillingness on the part of the American taxpayers to support a never-ending military intervention in the Middle East.

On one level, Washington cannot continue to pursue a policy of punishing and isolating Middle East regimes with which it disagrees on either policies or ideology. There is no way that Washington could encourage the creation of a stable balance-of-power in the Persian Gulf, including Iraq, without negotiating with Iran.

And it cannot help bring stability to Lebanon without dealing with its powerful Syrian neighbor, or for that matter with the powerful Lebanese-Shi'ite community, many of whose members support Hezbollah. Similarly, no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be reached through unilateralist Israeli strategy backed by Washington. Taking its cue from the process that has taken place in Southeast Asia, the U.S. should be supportive of a formation of regional security groups in which Washington will not play the leader; for example, a Persian Gulf security organization that includes Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states.

On another level, it is in the interest of the U.S. to provide incentives for other global players to play a more active role in promoting stability and peace in the Middle East – in particular, the members of the European Union (EU), especially the Mediterranean countries (France, Italy, Spain) and Germany (which has special ties with the Jewish state). Britain and Turkey should play a leading role in this process of growing engagement in the Middle East, a region that because of geographical proximity, economic ties, and demographic links is their strategic backyard – what Latin America is for the U.S.

Through its hegemonic strategy in the Middle East, the U.S. has encouraged the Europeans to take a free ride on American policy. The message from Washington has been: "We'll do the driving, while you only have to check the tires and replace the oil."

France and Germany could start doing some of the driving, even if that means that they will have more impact on deciding what policy route to take in the Middle East. The current crisis in Lebanon might be just such an opportunity for a growing European engagement.

Against the backdrop of declining U.S. prestige, France, Italy, and Spain have been playing an active role, mostly through back-channel diplomacy with Israel, Syria, and Lebanon, and indirectly with Hezbollah, to fashion a peaceful resolution.

At the same time, according to press reports, Germany has also been pursuing behind-the-scenes diplomacy involving Israel, Syria, and Iran. The EU has already announced that it would be willing to take the lead in deploying peacekeeping troops to southern Lebanon; France, Italy, Turkey, and Norway have agreed to participate in such a force. And the Europeans have also indicated their interest in playing a more central role in future Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

This is the kind of European activism in the Middle East that American officials should encourage, so that when another crisis blows up in the Middle East, U.S. officials will be able to participate in an ASEAN conference without being distracted by a new mess in the Levant.

Hiring a skip can be a bit daunting if you haven’t done it before. So we thought we’d put together a useful local guide to skip hire in the Hertfordshire area. Please do leave any comments or suggestions you have at the end of this post and we’ll do our best to answer them or incorporate them in the future updates.

What can I put in a skip?

You can put pretty much anything except waste that’s toxic or, for environmental reasons, has to be disposed of in a particular way. The most common things that cannot go in a skip are:

  • Paint & paint cans
  • Gas bottles
  • Asbestos
  • Electrical equipment (WEEE)
  • Tyres
  • TVs & computer screens
  • Fridges & freezers
  • Liquids
  • Oil, petrol, diesel
  • Batteries
  • Plasterboard
  • Hazardous & toxic materials
  • Clinical or medical waste
  • Fluorescent tubes
  • Solvents

What skip size should I order?

Skips come in a variety of sizes described in terms of cubic yards. A cubic yard is 1 yard (3 foot) high x 1 yard wide x 1 yard deep and is roughly the size of a standard washing machine or dishwasher. The most common skip you see in a residential street is called a builders skip and is either 6 or 8 cubic yards. The ideal skip size depends on not just the amount of waste you’re creating but also how much space you have to put the skip. The larger the skip, the cheaper it works out per cubic metre, but make sure you have enough waste to fill it, otherwise you’ll end up paying for thin air.

How quickly can a skip be delivered?

It all depends on how busy the skip hire company is and also whether you need to arrange a skip permit or parking bay suspension beforehand (see below). Assuming you don’t need a skip permit or parking suspension, allow at least a couple of days.

How long can I keep a skip for?

The usual skip hire period is for 1 week to 2 weeks but skip companies are usually quite flexible about when they collect if you give them enough notice.

What access does a skip lorry need?

If you intend to put a skip on your property rather than on the road, check with the skip company beforehand what access is required. Skip lorries are typically at least 8 ½ feet wide, with some as wide as 9 ½ feet. If you don’t have sufficient access, then the skip will need to be placed on the road and you will require a skip permit (see below).

How do I avoid using a ‘rogue trader’ skip hire company?

Check with the Environment Agency that the skip company you are using is licensed to carry waste. A licensed operator will have a waste carrier license number which, if you enter it on the EA site and, assuming it’s valid, will show you the company name. If a skip company in Hertfordshire isn’t happy providing you with a license number before you book or their license number doesn’t appear valid on the EA site – don’t use them. Also, it’s a good idea to ask for a copy of their public liability insurance cover just in case they damage your property when dropping off or collecting the skip.

How much should I expect to pay for skip hire in Hertfordshire?

Hertfordshire skip hire prices differ depending on the size of the skip you hire and also who you hire it from. As a rough guide in Hertfordshire you should expect to pay between £120 and £220 including VAT for a small to medium sized skip. That price is before the cost of any skip permit or parking bay suspension (see below).

What does the skip hire price include?

The skip price covers delivery, collection and disposal. Labour is not included – so if you don’t fancy filling the skip yourself, you may want to consider a man & van rubbish clearance company like AnyJunk instead.

Can I put a skip in the road in Hertfordshire if I haven’t got space on my property?

Yes, but before putting a skip on a public highway in the Hertfordshire County Council, you’ll need to have a skip hire permit and, if it’s in a controlled parking zone (ie. on a single yellow line or in a residents parking or pay & display bay), you will also need a parking suspension. Both cost money and take time to arrange, typically at least a couple of days.

Hertfordshire skip permit price

A skip permit in Hertfordshire currently costs £32.00 for up to 14 days. If you need an extension, this will cost a further £16.00 for an additional 7 days. Residents and businesses cannot apply direct for a skip hire permit to Hertfordshire council. The skip hire company must apply on your behalf to Hertfordshire County Council, and will then add these extra fees to the skip hire price.

Alternative to Hertfordshire skip hire

If you don’t fancy doing all the loading yourself, haven’t got time to wait for a skip permit, or just want to save some money, then instead of hiring a skip you may like to consider using a licensed man & van rubbish clearance company like AnyJunk to remove your waste. Our crews clear your rubbish from anywhere on the premises, load it into a truck, and take it away for disposal. we also take many of the items that you cannot put in a skip, like fridges, tyres and TVs. Our rates – which are in line with Hertfordshire skip hire prices – include all labour and are based on the exact amount of waste we remove, so you don’t need to worry about correctly guessing the skip size required beforehand. No skip hire permits or parking suspensions are required and we also recycle more than 85% of everything we collect.

About Hertfordshire

Covering around 634 square miles, Hertfordshire has a population of approximately 1,095,500. According to Wikipedia(1), Hertfordshire was originally the area assigned to a fortress constructed at Hertford under the rule of Edward the Elder in 913. The name Hertford is derived from the Anglo-Saxon heort ford, meaning deer crossing (of a watercourse). The name Hertfordshire first appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 1011.

Top 25 "It" products of all time: #1 -- The iPod

They're so ubiquitous now, a little more than seven years later, that it's hard to remember just how revolutionary the iPod was.

Portable music had existed as long as the cassette tape, and compact discs had been in wide use for some 20 years. But those were cumbersome, couldn't be bumped around, and required users to constantly flip or change cassettes or disc. Cell phones had mushroomed just three years before. Portable music was ripe for its own revolution, and as Edison proved, necessity is often the seed of great fruit. A little over a month after 9/11, in October 2001, Apple announced its first iPod.

At first, media critics scoffed at the luxury price tag of $400. And, yes, that was a lot, but as we soon discovered, the price would come down. The ability to be able to carry around all your music on something the size of a deck of cards proved irresistible. Apple soon unleashed a torrent of cheaper, smaller, more powerful versions, and by 2007, the Nano, a flash version of the original, was Apple's biggest seller, and the average price on an iPod was $161.

There were some MP3-playing antecedents on the market. Every game-changing product has its early rumblings. But many of them were, quite frankly, ugly, and their designs were often cluttered with buttons and navigational menus that only a techie could love. The iPod, though, was pretty. It was easy to use (even though that spinning scroll wheel on the first model was, thankfully, replaced by a pad that sensed your finger's touch). There was something classical about it from the very start.

The iPod was more than a product that seized its moment, though. It was a product that seemed to remember that everyday people were going to use it. It was a complicated device that was clearly designed by people for people. The iPod's success has inspired more direct communication between function and the audience. In short, stuff has become prettier and easier to use.

When you think about it, the iPod was pretty limited. It played sounds. That was it. We're supposed to be a video-obsessed, click-addicted society, yet somehow, this mini Victrola really pumped us up. Once the iPod embraced Windows users, too, the fuse was lit on its explosion, and everyone just had to have one. In three years, Apple had sold some some 7.4 million units. The sonic boom is still being felt in the recording industry, too: iTunes, the music store that best feeds the device, had sold 5 billion songs as of last June. Because of the iPod, you won't find a cassette tape anywhere, and CDs aren't doing too well, either.

Like Scotch tape, Coke, and Band-Aids before it, "iPod" became a nickname for any similar device in its genre. In 2002, you might want to hide your iPod on the bus for fear that it made you a target for theft. Today, nearly everyone has one (and you'd be more likely to stash your iPhone).

Since then, of course, the iPod adopted color photo display, video replay, and now, with the iPod touch, it can tell you where you are, play games with you, and coordinate your life by talking through the air to your home computer. But those incremental advances came afterward, following the boom.

Apple just reported a quarterly revenue over $10 billion, a first for the company, and its desktop computer sales soared 9 percent compared to a year ago. The iPod has introduced countless new customers to the brand and given Microsoft further cause for nail-biting--in 2006, Mac's rival launched its own player, the Zune, which was more mimic than echo.

So the iPod has ultimately proved to be more than a gimmick, a fad, or a luxury item. It was all of those things, of course, but it was no flash in the pan. It has changed our expectations of entertainment. It made culture fully portable.

There's one legacy of the iPod that our culture could stand to lose, and that's the "i" prefix. Apple was using it for products well before 2001, first apparently to denote devices that could get you onto the Internet, and later, simply as a quick way to say its products are personable. Now this diminutive letter is slapped onto any personal machine that people might possibly use.

The most ridiculous use of this tired letter so far? The newly invented iShovel, a robotic snow shovel. It must be said that unlike our beloved hand-held jukebox, the thing looks nothing like Eve in WALL-E.

Is McDonald's on the Verge of Faltering?

Last week, McDonald's (NYS: MCD) reported another hearty, filling helping of quarterly results. Still, there's one big reason why investors might want to think twice about McDonald's future: It's losing one of its major advantages.

Can the good times last forever?
McDonald's first-quarter net income rose 5% to $1.27 billion, or $1.23 per share. Total revenue increased 7% to $6.55 billion in the quarter. The fast-food behemoth attributed its top-line surge to its classic core offerings as well as new treats such as Chicken McBites.

Even better, Mickey D's global same-store sales continued their amazing trajectory that's been par for the course for years now. Comps surged 7.3% on a global basis (helped a bit by leap year's extra day), even generating admirable gains in markets such as Europe (up 5%) and right here in the U.S. (up 8.9%).

As always, McDonald's can expect more aggressive attacks from rivals, but so far their attacks haven't taken the wind out of Mickey D's sails.

Granted, Wendy's (NYS: WEN) has gotten stronger since ditching the lackluster albatross that was Arby's. Wendy's recently stole the ranking for second-biggest hamburger chain by sales volume in the U.S. from Burger King.

Speaking of which, Burger King is planning to go public again shortly after it was taken private and has vowed it's going to try to emulate McDonald's secret sauce more closely.

For a less formidable rival, look at Sonic (NAS: SONC) , which peddles burgers and other fare through drive-thru restaurants. Its recent cautious outlook for the rest of the year laid its stock price low.

McDonald's hasn't had to deal with questionable competitive strength; for a long, long while, McDonald's has made most of its rivals look like chopped liver by comparison. It's even held its own in the coffee and specialty drinks category against companies such as Starbucks (NAS: SBUX) ; note its plan to launch a "Cherry Berry Chiller" just in time for summer.

Beware the no-brainers
McDonald's stock has been on a tear for years now because of its amazing operational successes, quarter after quarter. The stock has come to seem like a bit of a no-brainer for investors' portfolios.

Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future success. The coming months may be difficult for McDonald's and its rivals; commodity prices are seen rising, and labor and rent costs are increasing internationally.

To my way of thinking though, the big, disturbing elephant in the room is that CEO Jim Skinner is retiring this summer. His successor, Don Thompson, has one heck of a tough act to follow.

Rewind the years and recall when investors had left the tarnished Golden Arches for dead. In 2003, well-known TV personality and stock commentator Jim Cramer had even said McDonald's couldn't be saved. Fortunately for McDonald's (and its shareholders), the late Jim Cantalupo came and saved the day. Jim Skinner proved himself an admirable successor to that legacy, having carried the torch for eight years, helping McDonald's shed its previously sullied image and convincing investors and customers alike to keep on "lovin' it."

At that time, anyone could have been forgiven for wondering whether Skinner could pull it off. Now that Skinner's leaving, whether his successor can keep the success coming is another reasonable question. Look at Best Buy's tenure under Brad Anderson's recently resigned successor, Brian Dunn.

What's next, McDonald's?
I recently removed my outperform call on McDonald's in Motley Fool CAPS (you can see my overall CAPS track record here). I felt the stock may have finally gotten ahead of itself particularly in this uncertain economic environment, and Jim Skinner's pending resignation fuels my personal uncertainty even more.

Your 2012 Memorial Day Sales Savings Cheat Sheet

American ShoppingThis Memorial Day weekend, Americans will mark the unofficial start to summer with barbecues, picnics and beach outings. But they'll also indulge in that favorite national pastime -- shopping. And more people look inclined to hit the malls this year than in 2011, according to IBM (IBM) findings, based on analysis of chatter on social networks.

They'll be embarking on more weekend getaways this year, too. The ratio of positive to negative comments about shopping and Memorial Day travel, which IBM calls the "Desire Ratio," is 6.5 to 1 this year, compared to a ratio of 1.3 to 1 in 2011, the data revealed.

For you budget-minded shoppers and travelers, here's some tips to get the biggest bang for your buck this holiday weekend.

Holiday Savings Tips

1. Maximize Coupon Savings

Mining coupons is "particularly important around Memorial Day, as many of the best deals will come from the use of a stacking discount," Lindsay Sakraida, features director for deal site, tells DailyFinance. Stacking is when you combine two or more discounts on the same product during the same transaction, be it a coupon on top of a preexisting sale, or the use of two or more coupons.

DealNews boasts an extensive list of current coupon codes, "and often shaving an extra $10 to $20 off your order total ... is as easy as performing a 30-second coupon code search," she says. You can search the site by product or store."

2. Price Comparison Shop

• Don't assume that a sales offer is valid both online and in a brick-and-mortar store. "You would think a product's price in-store would match what that vendor charges online, but this is frequently not the case," Sakraida says.

"A retailer can more easily orchestrate a special promotional discount online than it can across all stores, so if you find something you like, check the vendor site -- as well as competitors, when applicable -- to see if you're getting the best price," she says. "Sometimes with items like extremely late season clearance apparel, you'll find a steeper discount in-store.

• Let search engines like and do the bargain-hunting leg work for you.

"Shopping around can be daunting to some consumers," Marc Braunstein, CEO of, a source for cash back offers, coupons and deals, tells DailyFinance. "The time required to search for the best possible deal keeps shoppers from comparing prices, even if that means saving them a lot of money." That's where these bargain-finding search engines come in handy, he says. They'll "not only save you time and hassle, but more importantly, the money too," he says.

3. Take Advantage of Cash Back Rewards

Sites like offer special cash-back rewards that can glean shoppers up to 35% savings on purchases from retailers. boasts that it's the only site that backs up their claim that they have 'the best cash back [offers] on the web, with an 110% guarantee," Braunstein says. If you find a better cash back deal out there, will give you 110% of that discount off your qualified purchase.

4. Take Advantage of Get-Them-While-You-Can Deals

Here are some of the many limited-time only, Memorial Day weekend deals.

• For some high-end fashion bargains this weekend, check out Nordstrom (JWN), Last Call, Neiman Marcus' outlet chain, Anthropologie (URBN), Italian online fashion retailer Yoox, Club Monaco and Ralph Lauren (RL) for a variety of deals, Tamra Feldman, vice president of marketing for, which bills itself as your personal online shopper and bargain hunter, tells DailyFinance. Many of their sales "will have average discounts of 35% off," she says.

• For you fashionistas out there who love a deal, ShopItToMe's celebrity stylist Annie Ladino highlighted some of her favorite items for under $25 that should remain on sale throughout the weekend: Lucky Brand, summer straw totes for $24.99; botanical-themed, graphic tees from Express (EXPR) for $27.99; women's denim shorts from Old Navy (GPS) for $15, and round, printed sunglasses from Urban Outfitters for $9.99.

• What's more, "Now is a great time to take advantage of spring clearance items like gardening supplies and seasonal apparel," Brad Wilson, CEO of coupon and savings site, tells DailyFinance. "But don't ignore sales on summer essentials like patio sets and bathing suits. Many will be at the lowest prices you will see until much later in the season.", the biggest provider of online coupon codes, noted these two weekend deals: Kohl' is discounting summer essentials -- from swimwear to sandals -- by 20% for shoppers who enter the code SUMMER20. "Plus, get free shipping over $75 -- no code is needed," Trae Bodge, senior writer for RetailMeNot's Insider, the site's online magazine.

• If you're going camping, Cabelas, marketer of camping, hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, is holding a big sale event this weekend that includes camping-related items.

• And checkout daily deal site for a random mix of bargains available this weekend, including a 12 month subscription to Rolling Stone magazine with a framed poster, $49; a two-pack of extra large, memory foam pillows for $55; a memory foam dog bed for $30; and an Ultrasonic tooth brush system for $69, a spokesperson says.

5. Don't Forget the Road Trip, Weekend Getaway Savings

• "Road tripping it? Your smartphone can help you save on gas when it's time to hit the pump," RetailMeNot's Bodge tells DailyFinance. Apps like Gasbuddy guide you to where to buy the least-expensive gas in any given area.

• If you're planning a day trip to a city by car, search online for discounted parking coupons on sites like Central Parking, the operator of parking facilities, for savings offers available in 50-plus cities, Bodge says.

But you might not need it. "Because street parking can be easier to find on holidays -- and no meter feeding is typically required on the actual holiday -- plan to look for a spot on the street first, and have your coupon as a backup," she says.

• Tap Memorial Day weekend savings for future summer trips. Scour's travel deals to find coupons on discount travel sites like Travelocity, Orbitz (OWW) and Expedia (EXPE) for savings on weekend packages, rental cars and even theater tickets.

• You can also save up to 35% on daily, weekly and weekend Budget car rentals by June 30 with Expedia coupons, Bodge says.

 Board advances items, some directly benefiting students

CPAC gets student representation, SAVMA reorganization continues

Posted May 10, 2017

The AVMA’s nondiscrimination policy now includes both gender identity and expression as well as parental, marital, and pregnancy status (see story). Other items that received approval by the AVMA Board of Directors during its April 6-8 meeting were a new electronic accreditation management system for veterinary colleges and veterinary technology programs (see story) and funding for Cuban veterinarians to attend AVMA Convention 2017. The Board referred to the AVMA House of Delegates proposed policies relating to assistance and therapy animals as well as use of stem cells and other regenerative therapies (see story).

The Board also approved a handful of recommendations that pertain to veterinary students.

For one, the Clinical Practitioners Advisory Committee, which advises the Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents, will now have a student join its ranks after the Board approved its request for one. In the committee’s recommendation, members argued that having a student “is essential for gaining needed contributions by the veterinary student perspective and for fostering student interest in veterinary biologics and therapeutics as well as organized veterinary medicine in general.”

The Student AVMA will nominate candidates and approve two SAVMA members to serve as its representative and alternate representative for one-year terms, with a maximum of two terms. Because SAVMA rather than the Board nominates the person for the position, the student will be a nonvoting member, which is also the case for other entities such as the AVMA Council on Research.

SAVMA reorganization

There was further movement on transferring the student chapters of the AVMA to the Student AVMA, with the AVMA Board agreeing to initiate proposed AVMA Bylaws amendments relevant to that initiative. The goal is to streamline the structure of organized veterinary medicine for students and eliminate confusion. The proposed amendments would remove SCAVMA from the AVMA Bylaws and authorize SAVMA to establish its own chapters under the Charter Agreement between AVMA and SAVMA, whereby all chapters and their assets will be transferred to SAVMA, according to the recommendation background.

The AVMA Board of Directors approved a comprehensive review of the current and potential roles and responsibilities of the AVMA vice president during its April 6-8 meeting, among other actions. Dr. Mark P. Helfat (center), Board chair, presided over the meeting. (Photo by R. Scott Nolen)

The amended bylaws will become effective likely this fall when the other necessary documents are ready, including the amended SAVMA bylaws, the Chapter Charter Agreement between SAVMA and each of its chapters, and the amended bylaws for each chapter.

AVMA vice president’s role

In other actions, the Board voted to have its Governance Committee conduct a comprehensive review of the current and potential roles and responsibilities of the AVMA vice president, who is currently the AVMA liaison to veterinary students. The committee said in its recommendation background to the Board that the review was needed given current conditions.

The committee had received a request to consider extending the term of the vice president from two years to three years because of the large increase in the number of visits to accredited veterinary colleges and student chapters as well as the number of other appearances and opportunities available to support the development of veterinary students.

“The opportunity to optimize the value provided to students and increase the conversion rate to long term membership in the AVMA were important factors in the decision to recommend creation of a seven-member task force comprised of primary stakeholders to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the role of the Vice President,” according to the background.

Arizona Attorney General

Mark Brnovich

Goddard Demands Refund or Free Replacement of All Second Chance Bullet Proof Vests Containing Zylon®

(Phoenix, Arizona—November 20, 2003) On June 24, 2003, a  police officer in Forrest Hills, Pennsylvania was seriously injured when a .40 caliber bullet passed through a bulletproof vest manufactured by Second Chance Body Armor, Inc., which contained a material known as "Zylon®." The vest was six months old and was warranted to last five years.  The bullet is still lodged in the officer’ s abdomen.

In the wake of these and other events, in September 2003, Second Chance informed its customers that it had discontinued its "Ultima®" and "Ultimax®" Zylon vests "because it is possible the vests could wear out sooner than expected under certain conditions" and the company had discovered what it claimed to be an "unexpected decrease in the ZYLON® fiber strength." According to a statement issued by Second Chance President and CEO Paul Banducci, there is no way for a customer to tell whether a particular vest has been affected "without ballistic tests that destroy the armor."

Although Second Chance has offered its Ultima® and Ultimax® customers a choice between free "upgrades" to the vests (called "Performance Pacs") and price "credits" on replacement vests prices, Attorney General Goddard today called the offer "completely inadequate." Goddard demanded that Second Chance immediately offer all  Arizona law enforcement officers  either a full refund or free non-Zylon® replacement vests for all Zylon® vests sold.  "The performance packs," said Goddard, "are not only cumbersome, they have not been adequately tested."  While the replacement vests are offered at a discount, "this ignores the fact that the individuals who purchased the vests never got the protection they paid for in the first place.  That they were not killed or seriously injured is purely a matter of grace."

Although several companies manufacture body armor containing Zylon, Goddard said he is aware of no failures of Zylon vests other than those manufactured by Second Chance. "We have, however, seen published aging tests of Zylon fiber which cause us great concern, since the degradation in strength corresponds to high temperatures and  humidity, both of which exist in Arizona."  While the specific composition of body armor using Zylon varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, Goddard said "we call upon all manufacturers to test their vests carefully and resolve any questions on the side of officer safety."

While General Goddard criticized Second Chance’s replacement program, he strongly urged all officers in the State to "continue wearing their vests" until adequate replacements are obtained. "Law enforcement officers who do not wear body armor increase the risk of being killed in the line of duty" Goddard said.  "Any bulletproof vest is better than none."

Newborn baby tests and checks

In the hours after he is born, your baby will have several tests and examinations to check that he is healthy and that all is well. Here's an outline of what your midwife and doctor will be looking for when they carry out the tests.

What tests will my baby have?

Your baby will have a few checks and examinations in the first hours of his life. The first is the Apgar score, which your midwife will record at one minute, then again at five minutes after your baby's born (Draper 2008, NCCWCH 2007).

Your midwife can do this test by watching your baby's colour, breathing, behaviour, activity and posture. This will tell her whether your baby has any immediate problems that need medical support (NCCWCH 2007).

Most babies are fine, or may just need to be watched for a while. If your baby does need some help, your midwife may give him oxygen or clear out his airways to help him to breathe (NCCWCH 2007).

About an hour after the birth, after you've had a cuddle with your baby and, ideally, some skin-to-skin, your midwife will also:
  • weigh your baby
  • check his temperature
  • measure the circumference of his head (NCCWCH 2007)

These measurements will later be added to his developmental charts in his red book (personal child health record). Your health visitor will give you your baby's red book shortly before or after your baby is born.

A full newborn examination is carried out within 72 hours of your baby's birth (NICE 2006). This gives your baby time to adjust to the outside world and allows for prompt medical attention in the unlikely event of any problems being found.

Who does the full newborn examination?

Your baby may be examined by a paediatrician, a midwife with extended training or, if you had a home birth, your midwife or GP.

The examination will be carried out while you and your partner are present, so you'll be able to ask questions as it happens (NICE 2006). The examiner will probably ask you questions about your family's medical history. So now's the time to mention any childhood problems common to your family.

What does the examination involve?

The examination takes a head-to-toe look at your baby to check for any problems or conditions.

The doctor or midwife will look at the shape of your baby's head. A squashed or moulded head is a very common feature in newborns. This is caused by your baby being squeezed on his journey through the birth canal, and should right itself within 48 hours.

Your baby's head can mould in this way because of the soft spots, called the sutures and fontanelles, between the bones in his skull. These soft spots will be looked at by your midwife or paediatrician.

If your baby's birth required assistance with ventouse or forceps, there's a small risk of bruises appearing on his head or skull bone (cephalhaematoma). But rest assured this will clear up by itself.

Ears and eyes

A midwife will have already looked at your baby's eyes to check for any obvious problems. During the full examination, the doctor or midwife will shine a light from an ophthalmoscope in your baby's eyes to look for a red reflex (Tidy 2013a). This is the same as the red-eye effect from flash photography. If a red reflex is shown, cataracts can be ruled out.

Your baby may have a hearing test shortly after birth, either in hospital, a community clinic, or at home (NHS Choices 2013, UKNSC 2012). It's called an automated otoacoustic emission (AOAE) test. It only takes a few minutes and doesn't hurt your baby. For more information go to

The doctor or midwife will put a finger in your baby's mouth to check that the roof of his mouth (palate) is complete and his sucking reflex is working (Tidy 2013a). A gap in the palate, called cleft palate, will need surgery and may make feeding difficult.

They may also check your baby's tongue for tongue-tie. This happens when his tongue remains more anchored to the bottom of his mouth than it should be, restricting movement. It may only be checked for if your baby has persistent problems latching on to breastfeed (NICE 2006).

The doctor or midwife will listen to your baby's heart with a stethoscope to exclude extra sounds or heart murmurs (Tidy 2013a, UKNSC 2012). These are common in the first few days, as your baby's pattern of circulation undergoes a major change once he is born (UKNSC 2012).

In your womb (uterus), the two sides of your baby's heart beat together. When your baby takes his first breath, the two sides begin to work separately. At this stage, your baby's heart is working hard and may be enlarged, though it will settle down over time.

Heart murmurs may require a second opinion and further investigation, or will be checked at future examinations. Rest assured that heart murmurs often disappear on their own.

A further test for a heart condition is to feel for a pulse in your baby's groin (the femoral pulse).

The doctor or midwife will listen to your baby's breathing pattern and lung function with a stethoscope (Tidy 2013a). The aim is to hear clear, equal air entry into both of his lungs.

Your baby's genitals may appear swollen and dark-coloured, because your baby was exposed to your hormones before birth. These hormones may also cause your baby to have engorged breasts, regardless of your baby's sex. Girls may have a clear, white, or slightly bloody vaginal discharge for the first few weeks due to these hormones.

For boys, the scrotum is checked for undescended testes (UKNSC 2012). The penis will be checked to ensure the opening is at the tip of the penis, and not on the underside.

The doctor or midwife will check your baby's bottom to ensure the opening to his back passage is normal. You will probably be asked if your baby has had a wee or passed a dark-coloured poo (meconium) (Tidy 2013a).

Your baby's skin will be checked for birthmarks (Tidy 2013a), including:
  • stork marks (reddish or purple V-shaped marks on the back of his neck)
  • Mongolian spots (a bluish patch of darker pigment, most commonly over the bottom)
  • strawberry marks (raised red areas)

Hands and feet

The doctor or midwife will check your baby's arms, hands, legs and feet. His fingers and toes will be counted and checked for webbing.

Your baby's palms will be checked to see if two creases, called palmar creases, run across them. Single palmar creases are less common. However, 10 per cent of the population have one palmar crease on one hand and five per cent have one palmar crease on both hands.

Single palmar creases are sometimes associated with Down's syndrome (Tidy 2013a). But in the unlikely event of your baby having Down's syndrome, there would be other, clear physical signs (Tidy 2013b).

The examiner will look at the resting position of your baby's feet and ankles. This is to check for talipes (clubfoot), where the front half of the foot turns in and down. If your baby has talipes, you may already know due to an ultrasound scan.

Your baby's spine will be assessed for straightness. It is quite common for babies to have a tiny dimple at the base of the spine, called a sacral dimple (Tidy 2013a). In most cases this will cause no problems. Occasionally, a deep sacral dimple may indicate a problem with the lower part of your baby's spinal cord. This could affect nerve function in this area.

If your baby has a deep sacral dimple, he will be checked for other symptoms such as leg weakness, cold and blue feet, and incontinence.

Your baby's hips will be gently moved to check the stability of his hip joints (Tidy 2013a, UKNSC 2012). These movements include opening his legs wide, and then bending and unbending them. If the doctor or midwife detects any instability, or clicky hips, further investigations will be performed.

Your newborn baby has several reflexes such as sucking, rooting and grasping. The doctor or midwife will check these reflexes by watching your baby. But if they are concerned or can't see the reflex, they may encourage your baby to demonstrate it.

The most commonly tested reflex during the examination is the Moro reflex. Your baby's head is allowed to gently and safely fall for a short distance. He'll then respond by flinging out both arms with his fingers spread and legs outstretched. He may also cry a little. Rest assured your baby will be fine, and his responses are simply showing that all is well.

What happens after the full examination?

Most babies pass their newborn examinations with flying colours. And when problems are found, they often resolve themselves in time and without any treatment at all (UKNSC 2012). If the doctor or midwife who examines your baby has any concerns, they may decide that further tests and investigations are needed.

For the few babies who do have problems, there are many benefits to having these identified early on (UKNSC 20120). Though bear in mind that screening tests may not pick up every problem. Your doctor or midwife should give you information about the suspected problem and answer any questions you may have. You should also be offered advice about where to find more information and support.

The next routine test your baby will have is a heel-prick test. This will be carried out around five days to eight days after the birth (NICE 2006). Your midwife will carry out this test. She'll take a tiny amount of blood from your baby's heel. This blood sample will be tested for:
  • An enzyme deficiency, called phenylketonuria (PKU).
  • Cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs and digestive system.
  • MCADD, a rare condition that affects the way the body converts fat into energy.
  • Sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder.
  • A thyroid deficiency (UKNSC 2012).
  • Homocystinuria, a rare inherited metabolic disorder (PHE 2014).
  • Maple syrup urine disease, glutaric aciduria type 1, and isovaleric acidaemia, which are all inherited disorders in which the body is unable to process certain protein building blocks (amino acids) (PHE 2014).

Your baby may cry a little when the blood is taken, but he will recover very quickly.

The next screening test you and your baby will have will be your postnatal check with your doctor. This will take place between six weeks and eight weeks. If you have any concerns about your baby before then, don't hesitate to call your midwife, health visitor or doctor. Your midwife will also give you information on signs and symptoms to look out for in your newborn and who to contact for help.

Am Elena Mario by name
Im 31 and im a type 1 diabetic for 2 years pregnant and worried.any advice
does ur baby get drugged tested after birth?
@mamakler; if when you say the thick saliva you mean the mucous from your waters & ect, my baby was T+12 and pooped in my waters & by inhaling this, when he arrived he was startled & this mucous was on his chest. I am breast feeding which helped a lot as it's the most natural, healthiest way for your baby to feed and digest & even tho you don't have to wind baby's after a breast I did coz of this mucous & it did help bring it up. It was thick, mucousy & a little white from bits of milk. Even though as always, if it's starting to concern you greatly or your baby seems to be struggling with it still get into your docs & sort it out. Sorry for the waffle and hope this helps : )

GBP/USD: 4-hour

Cable is at it again, fellas! If you missed the bounce at the bottom of the rising channel on the 4-hour time frame, you might still have another chance to play the range once the pair tests the top of the channel. Stochastic is already indicating overbought conditions, which suggests that pound bears could pounce soon. Watch out for reversal candlesticks around the 1.6650 to 1.6700 psychological resistance levels if you’re planning on shorting.

CAD/JPY: 4-hour

Aaah… Breakout! That groovy tune always plays in my head whenever I see a breakout situation taking place. On CAD/JPY’s 4-hour chart, it can be seen that the pair has breached the bottom of the shallow rising channel around the 94.50 minor psychological support. Stochastic has reached the oversold territory but hasn’t crossed upwards yet, which means that Loonie bears have enough energy to push this pair lower.

EUR/GBP: 4-hour

Bounce or break? EUR/GBP is currently testing the bottom of the falling channel on its 4-hour time frame while stochastic is lingering around the oversold zone. If support at the bottom of the channel and the .8200 major psychological handle holds, the pair might bounce back to the middle of the channel around the .8300 mark. A downside break, on the other hand, means that further losses are in the cards. Which way will it go?

To get the complete picture and avoid getting blindsided by economic data, you also have to do your fundamental analysis.

Lucky for us, Pip Diddy fills us in on what we need to know about fundamentals with his Daily Forex Fundamentals.

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bring a pan of water to the boil. Mix most of the lemon zest with the lemon juice, oil, garlic and seasoning. Set aside two-thirds, then mix the oregano into the rest. Pour this over the turkey steaks on a plate and turn them to coat.

  2. Fry the turkey steaks in a non-stick frying pan for 1-2 mins on each side to brown, then transfer to a roasting tin. Scatter the tomatoes around, then roast in the oven for 4-8 mins, depending on the thickness of the turkey, until the steaks are just cooked through.

  3. Meanwhile, cook the beans in the boiling water for 4-5 mins until tender. Tip a ladle of the cooking water into a food processor, then drain the beans and tip into the processor with the reserved lemon dressing. Whizz to a mash, then divide between 4 plates and top with a turkey steak, scattering over remaining lemon zest. Shake the tin so the tomatoes roll around in the cooking juices, then serve with the turkey.

Didn't like the turkey at all, very bland, and the mash was not well received...
19th May, 2012
My fiancÃ© and I both thought this was lovely for our tea tonight. I used tinned butter beans instead and added some chopped fresh mint to them too which went really well. We also had some tomato cous cous on the side. Very tasty and healthy too! Will definitely make again.
24th Nov, 2010
Just made this for me and my friend. First time I've cooked turkey like this and it was a yummy dish. Thumbs up for simplicity. Added potato to the mash following recommendations on here and it was nice. good healthy, mid week meal!
21st Sep, 2010
We had this meal tonight, my husband loved it. However me and daughter didn't like the mash. The turkey was lovely. If I were to make it again I would definately add less lemon. However the combination of tomato, turkey and mash was an interesting taste. From other comment's I think I will try adding mashed potato next time.
18th Sep, 2010
I loved this dish, especially the bean mash, wasnt sure when I was making it, but so tasty. Have made it twice now.
17th Oct, 2009
Nice idea, but just not that nice. Too much lemon and the broad bean mash was disappointing.
19th Sep, 2009
None of us really liked this one. The lemon was overpowering and the beans just didn't taste that great. We couldn't get thick turkey steaks so used fillets and so only cooked them in the pan. The marinade did help keep them lovely and moist though, but that's the only positive!
15th Sep, 2009
The flavours are good in this, but I think the prep/cooking time is underestimated. I used turkey fillets, which need more cooking anyway - about 25 minutes, but then they were a bit dry so next time I would bash them a bit before cooking.
14th Sep, 2009
really easy and really tasty - i mashed potato in with the beans to mellow some of the sharpness of the beans.
14th Sep, 2009
I'm a vegetarian and when I find recipes that sound tasty (like this one) I think of ways to make it veggie. For this, try using tofu instead of turkey. Just cut the tofu into a 'steak' simmilar to that of a turkey steak and voila! veggie turkey. It may be an idea to shape the tofu so that it doesn't just look like a block, to do this simply mold it with a spoon or clean hands. It will absorb the beautiful flavours so it'll taste lovely and not at all bland. You may want to double the ammount of oragano wehn using tofu though. Lovely recipe!

Driving with Fido

Driving with Fido

Summer is certainly upon us, and wouldn’t it be nice to take a trip? To a national park, to the beach, and beyond? You should take your pooch too! But when traveling with your dog in the car, there are some things to keep in mind to preserve the safety and health of both you and your beach bud. Read on to learn more!

  1. Keep your dog out of the front seat

-While it is certainly tempting to have your dog riding shotgun, cruising down the highway, just imagine what could happen if you were to ever get in an accident. Small dogs can be killed by airbags, or the dog could go through the window. Opt instead for a secured crate or harness. After all you wear a seat belt, so shouldn’t your dog as well?

dog harness

  1. Bring water

-Pack some water for your dog, and just as importantly, a way for them to drink it! This way if you stop at a gas station on the way to your destination you can pour some cool refreshing water into a bowl for your canine companion so they stay nice and hydrated.

  1. Plan breaks

-Visiting grandma a state over? Expect to stop every two or three hours to let your pooch get out, stretch their legs, and do their business. On that note—also be sure to bring poop bags!

  1. Keep it cool

-Remember, your dog is covered in fur, so they will often get hotter than you. So when you pull over for a stop, say to grab some snacks, be sure to leave the windows cracked or the air conditioning on! Be aware of the temperature at all times.

Keep cool all, and travel safe!

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

A - hazy golden yellow, not much head - slight amount of foam around the glass

S - strawberries, honey, grapes, cloves - slight hint of alcohol

T - a bready taste coming from the yeast (very nice) mixed in with sweet spices and flavors of honey, cloves, cinnamon. a hint of berry lingers as an aftertaste

M - very fizzy! a dry, crisp finish

O - this is a pretty solid beer. it's hard to fuck up a belgian ale - if you're attempting to make it, it's because you know you can pull it off. my only negative comment towards this beer might be a bit one sided, but i wish it was less fizzy and a bit smoother going down. it had a very seltzer/soda like fizz to it, which would be great for a cider or a fruit ale - but when i'm drinking something bready like this (and with a high abv) i would like for it to be a smooth, filling drink.

Had this on tap last night from Taco Asylum. Poured in a pint glass.

A- Finger and a half white head over a pale golden body with nice clarity.

S- Medium malts and a booziness jumps to mind. Has some light fruits to temper the boozy esters.

T- Fruity and muted malts. Quite good with a boozy taste hidden as well.

M- Medium bodied and wet. Kind of chewy.

O- Not my style of beer, but certainly a good example of the style.

I have a lot of respect and appreciation for this beer. A more perfect Golden Strong Ale is hard to find. Consistent, delicious, and unique - I look forward to trying it on tap.

A - Golden and bright. Slight haze.

S - Floral and sweet with a bit of hop.

T - Slightly sweet and citrus. The taste of Pranqster has become my model of Golden Strong Ale even more than Duvel, etc.

M - Effervescent and light.

O - Highly recommended Belgian. Hats off to North Coast.

poured from the bottle into a tulip glass

A - Pours a hazy gold with swirls of yeast in it. A few small bubbles rise to the rocky, four finger, white head. Head is gone halfway down the glass. Leaves a few splotches of lacing near the top of the glass.

S - Nice and big floral nose with a touch of crab apples.

T - Floral yeast and crab apples upfront. The body rides on a backbone of candied sugar with flashes of crab apple hops and musty yeast. A small flash of earthy hops leads to a dry, slightly floral finish.

M - Medium bodied, but super creamy. The beer seems to expand rapidly in my mouth.

To my knowledge, this is my first go with a Belgian Strong Pale Ale. It was certainly very drinkable and smooth despite the high ABV, but I expected more complexity - this beer began to bore me after a bit. I would get another bottle of two again at world market, but I have to believe there are more invigorating versions of this style our there.

Bottle kept in fridge. Poured into a tulip glass.

A- Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with lots of pillowy foamy head that left fairly quickly leaving very mild lacing on the glass.

S- Strong smells of yeast. Sweet malts, and some sweet fruits. Quite bready.

T- Bready. I'm getting some of the dried lighter fruits that were present in the nose. Maybe pineapple, and apricots. Lots of sweet malts. Well rounded. Wonderful.

M- Nicely carbonated. Not overbearing. Good texture. Not overly thick.

O- A solid offering from North Coast. Picked up a 4 pack of this just to try it, and I'm glad I did. Think I'll put one off to the side for a while to see if it becomes more "well rounded"

There was very little lacing or head when poured into a pint glass. It was a cloudy yellow- orange. The smell of pineapple was most prominent to me. The carbonation was enjoyable and the taste was incredible. It was a subtle blend of pineapple, orange and cloves. The favors reminded me of hefeweisse but milder and I found Pranqster more enjoyable. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this beer!

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Libbey tall tulip.

A: Pours a hazy orange with a rocky off-white head. Slightly darker than most BSPAs, but still nice-looking. Head recedes down quickly, leaving a little bit of lacing.

S: Bright yeast with a slight farmhouse character, sugary vanilla cake, honey, mild soapiness, bit of nectarine.

T: Pleasantly sweet. White cake, sweet cream, small tinge of bitter hop, mango, some coriander. Huge pleasing coarse grain in the finish, along with a little horseblanket from the yeast. Very nice.

M: Medium-bodied, good carbonation.

O: Not the most complex BSPA I've had, but very good nonetheless.

22 oz bottle with no freshness date.

A- Clear light gold in a chalice with a big white three finger foamy head that quickly faded to half inch cap. Noticed some clear legs on the side of the glass but not much lacing.

S- Clean malty sweetness, citrus fruit.

T- Starts with a slightly astringent sweetness that reminds me of apples. The finish is dry and crisp. Not much in the way hops which is ok.

M- Medium and well rounded with gentle carbonation.

O- This is an excellent domestic version of a classic Belgian Pale Ale. I think it rivals the imports for less money. I enjoy this frequently. Complex enough for savoring and still very drinkable.

12 oz bottle was poured into a tulip glass.

Appearance: The beer poured a minimal head, but it has remained to a decent layer. Golden straw yellow is the color of the beer with a haziness to it and good signs of carbonation coming up through the glass. The beer is very alive and inviting. Can't wait to have a sip. Nice lacing on the glass as the beer was drank.

Smell: apples, pears, vanilla, spices, bready malts, and alcohol.

Taste: Super awesome blend of all the above flavors. Breadiness and slight bitterness linger nicely for a little bit.

Mouthfeel: super smooth, delicious, medium bodied, medium carbonation, the booze warms as it goes down, and it's really easy to drink.

Overall: Pretty solid beer for a BSPA from North Coast. That mastered this style very well and it is a nice alternative to beers from breweries in Belgium. I have had this plenty of times at the Union Brewhouse and will enjoy many more in the future.
