- Aspire Mining Ltd (ASX: AKM) owns the Ovoot Coking Coal Project (Ovoot), and is also progressing the Northern Line Rail Line (NRL) in Mongolia.
- Ovoot is one of the largest undeveloped coking coal projects globally. Its appeal is evidenced by the Aspire / Noble Group alliance.
- Along with Tavan Tolgoi, Ovoot is recognised as one of the key potential coal suppliers to Mongolia's Sainshand Industrial Park.
- Current off take interest in Ovoot coking coal exceeds targeted production.
- The Ovoot project requires a 547km ($1.3b) rail line linking the project to existing rail infrastructure.
- Request for a Concession from Northern Railways LLC is awaiting approval for construction by the Mongolian government. This would de-risk the entire Ovoot project.
- The NRL could become an important link for Russian/Chinese trade. It is moving from a project specific rail connection to becoming part of a network
- Financing interest (NYSE:EOI) has already been received for US$1.3bn to construct NRL. It may also find funding support from Russian institutional investors for both NRL and Ovoot development
- Mongolia has embarked on a massive upgrade of its railway system that should see the development of the NRL, as part of a new and upgraded country wide network
- We believe that downside risk for Aspire is limited while infrastructure risk has been reduced
- Based on a peer company analysis, we consider Aspire Mining to be significantly undervalued. We believe that the rail concession could be granted within the next six months and hence a catalyst for a major re-rating of Aspire's share price. We forecast a 6 - 9 months share price target of $0.125 per share (see analysis and valuation) after rail concession is granted for NRL.

Aspire Mining (ASX: AKM) is an ASX listed exploration and development company that is focused on discovering and developing world class premium coking coal deposits that are located in Mongolia, and are geographically close to the world's largest consumers of coking coal.
The Aspire stockholders are made up of a partnership of Australian and Mongolian interests that include the Noble Group, and are intent on developing Mongolian coal assets that can supply coal to consumers in China, Russia, Eastern Europe, and other Asian seaborne markets
The Company has completed two Pre-Feasibility Studies at the Ovoot Coking Coal Project that currently hosts a JORC Compliant Probable Reserve of 255 million tonnes of coking coal, and is classed as the second largest coking coal Reserve in Mongolia. Ovoot has considerable exploration potential to grow into a much larger resource.
Studies indicate that Ovoot has potential to produce up to 10 million tonnes per year of premium quality coking coal. The development of Ovoot requires the construction of a rail link from the existing Trans-Mongolian Railway at the town of Erdenet in northern Mongolia.
Aspire Mining controls Northern Railways LLC which will be responsible for the completion and management of the NRL from Ovoot to Erdenet. The Company is forecasting commissioning of the NRL and the Ovoot mine in 2018.
Aspire Mining owns a 100% interest in the Ovoot Coal Project that includes one mining licence and three contiguous exploration licences that cover 430 square kilometres.
The Ovoot Coal Project is located in north western Mongolia and includes a JORC Compliant Coal Resource and Coal Reserve and includes:
Ovoot Open Pit Reserve
- Probable Reserve of 247 million tonnes of which 182 million tonnes is marketable coal with 9.5% moisture content.
Ovoot Underground Reserve
- Probable Reserve of 8 million tonnes of which 6 million tonnes is marketable coal with 9.5% moisture content.
The total Probable Reserve is currently at 255 million tonnes of which 188 million tonnes is marketable coking coal.
Ovoot Open Pit Resource
- Measured Resource of 197 million tonnes.
- Indicated Resource of 46.9 million tonnes.
- Inferred Resource of 9.2 million tonnes.
- Total of 253.1 million tonnes.
Ovoot Underground Resource
- Indicated Resource of 25.4 million tonnes.
- Inferred Resource of 2.6 million tonnes.
- Total of 27.9 million tonnes.
The total JORC Compliant Open Pit and Underground Resource is currently at 281 million tonnes of coal.
The Ovoot Project area also includes a 25 kilometre long extension to the east that includes the Hurimt and Zuun Del prospects that are highly prospective for additional coal resources in the Ovoot Lower Seam that sits just above basement rock. The Ovoot lower seam represents the largest of the three seam packages that have been identified within the project area.
This area is marked in red stripes on Map One. Several holes were drilled in this area but failed to reach their targets due to difficult drilling conditions.
Two drill holes drilled at the most easterly extension of this zone, and are 25 kilometres from the Ovoot Open Pit. Drill hole ZD001 intersected 5 metres of coal at a depth of 7 metres, and ZD002 intersected 6 metres of coal at a depth of 35 metres.
Aspire Mining completed testwork in early 2013 on Ovoot Project coking coal that confirmed Ovoot is capable of producing a premium blending coking coal that is classified by Chinese customers as "FM Premium Fat Coal", and by Russian customers as "Zh Fat Coking Coal".
Indicative washed coking coal specification include a moisture content of 9%, ash 9%, volatiles 25 - 28%, sulphur 1.2%, Crucible Swelling Number 9 (highly desirable 9 being maximum rating), Maximum Fluidity Log 3.60, Maximum Dilation +300%, Gray King G11, G Caking Index +26, and RoMax 1.2.
The high quality of Ovoot coking coal makes it ideal as a blending coal with lower quality or non-caking coals to produce a high quality end coke product. Successful trials have been completed that used a variety of low coking, thermal and oxidised coals derived from Australia, Mongolia and Russia on both a 50% and 25% blend basis.
Aspire Mining holds Non-binding Memoranda of Understanding for the supply of up to 6.9 million tonnes per annum of coking coal to four Chinese and two Russian customers. This covers 138% of initial annualised production rate of 5 million tonnes.
The Company completed two Pre-Feasibility Studies in 2012, with the second being a revised PFS completed in December 2012. The revised PFS was done to include updated JORC Resources and Reserves completed subsequent to the original PFS report, and assumed an owner-operator model. In August 2013, the Company revised its development plan moving away from the owner-miner model reducing the initial capital expenditure required for the minesite development. The Company also completed additional studies that minimised waste removal and optimised extraction of low wash "by pass coal" during the early years of operation, which resulted in lower operating costs.
The current Ovoot Development Plan (NYSE:ODP) has estimated a CAPEX of US$144 million including contingencies for initial production of 5 million tonnes per annum of premium grade coking coal, with potential to increase output to up to 10 million tonnes per annum in subsequent years.
Aspire was awarded a Mining licence in August 2012 and received approval from the Minerals Resource Authority of Mongolia for its Feasibility Study.
Ovoot has an average life of mine strip ratio of 7.8 to 1 (BCM:waste) and will require the pre-strip of 23 million bulk cubic metres of barren overburden which overlies the top of the coal resource. Initial mining will preferentially target the Upper Seam which hosts a relatively high proportion of low ash coal.
This will require the mining of 5.2 million tonnes of raw ROM coal, of which 60% is by pass coal (does not require washing), and 40% will be washed in a 300 tonne per hour wash plant, to produce 5 million tonnes of saleable coking coal.
The overall product yield is estimated at 90%, and 9% moisture content, and less than 10% ash content.
Operating costs on a "Fixed on Rail" basis into China are estimated at US$76 to US$86 per tonne for washed coking coal for the first two years of operation.
Costs for the first five years of mining are estimated at US$82 to US$92 per tonne on a "Fixed on Rail" basis into China, the range depending on the rail tariff charged along the Trans-Mongolian Railway.
Ovoot coking coal to be shipped to China via theproposed Nothern Rail Line to the Chinese border at Erenhot (distance of 1,589 kilometres) includes a mine gate cost of US$39 per tonne, rail, marketing and port costs of US$53 per tonnefor a total of US$92 per tonne; and confirms the significant cost advantage inherent in Ovoot coal delivered by rail.
The Mongolian Government has signed a Non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Aspire Mining for the future supply of Ovoot coking coal to the Sainshand Industrial Park, which is Mongolia's largest industrial development complex, due for completion in 2018. Ovoot and Tavan Tolgoi coal projects are identified as key suppliers of the proposed coke and steel plants that will be built at Sainshand.
The Mongolian Government will need to enter into agreements for the construction and operation of the Northern Rail line to allow Ovoot to supply coking coal for the proposed Sainshand complex.
A Non-binding Letter of Intent has been executed with the Zavkhan Power Plant for supply of 30 - 35 megawatts per annum of electric power. The plant is located 70 kilometres south of Ovoot and is expected to be completed at the end of 2015.
There is abundant water in the region. The water table was constantly intersected during exploration drilling. Additional water drilling is required before a water license can be granted.
Northern Railways LLC, is a Mongolian registered subsidiary of Aspire Mining that will be responsible for the construction and operation of the Ovoot to Erdenet rail line over a distance of 547 kilometres. The Company completed a revised rail prefeasibility study over the alignment which extends current railway infrastructure at Erdenet through to the Ovoot Coking Coal Project. Estimated CAPEX for the link is US$1,300 million. Definitive financing and commencement of construction is subject to the provision of an agreement and other approvals from the Government of Mongolia.
The Company has sourced Non-binding Expressions of Interest from a number of financial institutions that include the Noble Group for provision of a total US$1.3 billion to construct the Northern Rail Line. These capital expenditure requirements were identified and estimated in the Rail Pre-feasibility Study completed by SMEC International in April 2013. Aspire Mining via Northern Railways LLC has established a working group with UBTZ which is the Mongolian Government owned rail operator. The group is evaluating the appropriate tie-in between the proposed Northern Rail Line and the existing Trans-Mongolian Railway at Erdenet.
The Company is currently forecasting that the line will be completed in 2018 and will have a capacity to carry up to 22 million tonnes per annum of multi-user capacity that includes commodities, goods, and passengers.
Aspire has also recently conducted preliminary modeling of an extension of the Northern Rail Line that would see it extend further to the northwest of Ovoot and connecting to the Russian town of Kyzyl. The early stage modeling identifies a potentially viable and cost efficient rail path that connects Russia to Mongolia, becoming a significant link that continues into China.
This assessment covers a 214 kilometre path over relatively flat terrain from Ovoot to Arts Suuri (at the Russian border), which will serve as a major rail junction for a proposed rail network connecting Russia and China through Mongolia. A further 267km link has also been identified between Arts Suuri to connect with the Russian railway terminus at Kyzyl (population 311,000). The Kyzyl rail line is currently under construction and will link up to the Trans-Siberian Railway at Kuragino. Completion is scheduled for 2018.
The Northern Line then becomes part of a new and major international rail network that will allow development of the Ulug Khem (aka Elegest coking coal basin). This basin hosts 2,499 million tonnes of coking coal reserves with projects such as Elegest, Kaa Khem, Mezhegey, and Tsentralny controlled by some of Russia's largest coking coal and steel producers.
Current studies indicate that these four projects could produce up to 47 million tonnes per annum of coking coal, and that the Northern Line has potential to provide a significantly shorter delivery path from Kyzyl into China.
Kyzyl is the capital of the Tuva Republic which is located in southern central Siberia, and shares a southern border with northwest Mongolia. Tuva is abundant in natural resources and hosts a number of deposits that are ripe for development that include coking and thermal coal, phosphate, silver and cobalt, arsenic, gold, copper, molybdenum, rare earths, aluminium, and chromium.
Internal estimates generated by Aspire Mining indicate that utilisation of the proposed Northern Line will reduce rail shipment kilometres from Kyzyl to Far East Russian ports by 445 kilometres, and by ~1,250 kilometres into China, as compared to using the existing Trans-Siberian Railway.
The new rail connections would link the Northern Rail Line and Ovoot with the Trans-Siberian Railway that provides an export link into Russia and Europe to the west. The Chinese market will be served via the existing Trans-Mongolian Railway eventually being upgraded to be dual track between Ulan-Ude (Russia), to Jining (China), and other international export markets.
Current rail policy work being progressed in Mongolia at the moment includes the completion of a 240 kilometre rail link into China from the mines around Tavan Tolgoi in late 2015. Engineering work is also half completed for the link-up between Tavan Tolgoi and the southern end of the Trans-Mongolian Railway (at Sainshand). The main Trans-Mongolian line will also be upgraded in several stages to handle34 million tonnes per annum in the first stage and up to 100 million tonnes per annum of traffic.
Aspire has acquired a 50% interest in the Ekhgoviin Chuluu Joint Venture, which holds a 60% interest in the Nuurstei Coking Coal Project, from Xanadu Mines (ASX:XAM) and has the right to increase its interest to 90% in Nuurstei. The project is held in joint venture with the Noble Group, and is located to the east of Ovoot, and along the proposed track of the Northern Line.
Aspire will issue Xanadu 10 million Aspire shares upon the ECJV entering into an agreement to undertake feasibility studies in the Nuurstei Project area, or, upon the Mineral Resource Authority of Mongolia granting a mining license over all or part of the Nuurstei Project area.
Nuurstei contains a low volatile bitumous coal with moderate to high ash levels and low sulphur. There may be operational and marketing synergies with Aspire's Ovoot Coking Coal Project.
- Completion of upgrade of Trans-Mongolian Railway to 34 million tonnes per annum by end of 2015.
- Rail link from Tavan Tolgoi to Trans-Mongolian Railway at Sainshand to be completed by 2017.
- Rail link from mines at Ukhaa Khudag, Tavan Tolgoi and Oyu Tolgoi in Southern Mongolia to China completed in 2015/16.
- Aspire awaits grant of an agreement from the Mongolian Government for the Northern Rail Line linking into Trans-Mongolian Railway in northern Mongolia. Completion of the line is forecast for 2018.
- Grant of rail agreement opens up funding and development of Northern Rail Line.
- Ovoot then is no longer a stranded coal resource, rail development opens up pathway for completion of Bankable Feasibility Study at Ovoot, funding and mine development.
- Development of Nuurstei Coking Coal Project, potentially a starter project independent of rail.
Mongolia is governed by a parliamentary system that includes judicial, legislative and executive divisions and is subject to a popular vote every four years. The legal system is a mixture of Soviet, Romano, and Germanic laws.
Growth in Gross Domestic Product in 2013 was 11.8% and is the sixth fastest growing global economy. Current growth is driven by development of large scale mining projects and is further supported by a rich resource base that is located next to fast growing markets in China, Asia, and Siberia.
Per capita GDP was US$5,900, and the unemployment rate was 9%, and 29.8% of the population is below the poverty line (all data for 2011 and from CIA factbook).
The richest province in Mongolia is known as Orkhon and includes the city of Erdenet that straddles the Trans-Mongolian Railway. Per capita GDP for Orkhon Province is at US$10,000 due to significant rail links that have allowed for the development of a strong manufacturing base that includes food, beverages, carpet and metal manufacture. Development of rail links such as the Northern Rail Line will "spread the wealth" and allow for the growth of sustainable development.
In October 2013 the Mongolian Parliament repealed its onerous Strategic Foreign Investment Legislation which was implemented in min-2012. A new Investment Law came into effect on 1 November 2013.
The new law allows foreign entities to acquire 100% ownership of a project, provided that an investor is not 50% (or more) owned by a foreign government, which is considered a Sovereign Owned Entity.
Tax stabilisation is granted to eligible investors via a Stabilisation Certificate that freezes current rates for corporate tax, income tax, customs duties, Value Added Tax, and royalties over a specified period of time. Aspire Mining management believe that both the Ovoot Coal Mining Project and Northern Rail Line Project will be granted Stabilisation Certificates for up to 20 years.
The law also relaxes the percentage of foreign workers that can be employed, and places no restrictions on the movement of assets in and out of the country.
The Mongolian Government has also recently agreed changes to the 2006 Minerals Law which now allows applications for new Exploration Licences, ending a 4 year moratorium.
In the December quarter of 2013 the Australian Government Chief of Mission to Mongolia presented the Mongolian Government with a Position Paper and Petition. This Paper outlines the benefits that will accrue to the Mongolian economy and local communities from the development of Ovoot and the Northern Rail Line.
Recent pricing (first week of June, 2014) for spot premium coking coal "Free On Board" in Australia priced at $117 - $118 per metric tonne.
The international seaborne supply of coking coal has led to an oversupply of product that is compounded by new production from BHP's Caval Ridge mine, Whitehaven's Grosvenor mine, and the Rio Tinto Kestrel Mine. China is the world's largest consumer of coking coal, and has taken steps to increase domestic consumption of coking coal which has cut into the need for additional imports.
Chinese imports of metallurgical/coking coal stood at 75.4 million tonnes in 2013.. Chinese imports in 2014 are expected to be around 85 million tonnes, according to a Standard Chartered Equity Research note would which would be a 13% increase on the import rate for 2013.
The Queensland Government is forecasting "Free On Board" pricing of premium coking coal of $142 per metric tonne in 2015, $160 in 2016, and $170 in 2017. Other analysts are forecasting a nominal long term coking coal price of $186 per tonne.
Development of Ovoot is not tied to currently depressed coking coal pricing as demand will be driven by very long term demand trends emanating out of China and the rest of Asia.
Aspire Mining Ltd is currently capitalised at $22.4 million, of which $4.6 million is cash and places an Enterprise Value "EV" of $23.2 million on total JORC Compliant Resources of 281 million tonnes of coking coal, or an EV of US$0.08 (8c) per tonne. Aspire's Ovoot Project has a JORC Probable Reserve of 255Mt, or EV/t Reserve of $US0.09 (9c).
A relevant peer group comparison can be made with Tigers Realm Ltd (ASX: TIG) which is an ASX listed coking coal developer in Eastern Russia, owing an 80% interest in its Amaam and Amaam North Projects. TIG has an EV of $75.7 million for an attributable JORC Resource of 392 million tonnes of high grade coking coal, and an EV of $0.193 per tonne (it currently does not have a Reserves estimate). This EV/t Resource is 241% greater that the EV accorded to Aspire, and may be underpinned by the presence of local institutional investors that are financing the next stage of development for TIG.
TIG recently received a capital injection of $61 million from Russian institutional investors and is progressing to a Bankable Feasibility Study for Stage One mining at a rate of 1 million tonnes per annum, Stage Two of 3 - 4 million tonnes, and Stage Three of 6.5 million tonnes per annum.
Of note, TIG do not currently have a Reserve estimate while Aspire Mining's Reserves estimate does provide a guide to the portion of the resources that are economically mineable.
We believe that Aspire Mining is significantly undervalued, and that the market is not paying attention to the development plans that are proposed by Russia, China and Mongolia. The development of trans-shipment infrastructure through Mongolia will eventually lead to construction of the Northern Rail Line and construction of the Ovoot Coking Coal mine.
Nor is the market paying attention to the fact that the Mongolian Government has changed its stance towards investors and recently enacted laws that are meant to attract more foreign investment.
We believe that Aspire Mining should carry a similar EV to TIG subject to (1) grant of rail agreement, and (2) confirmation of $1.3 billion in funding to develop the Northern Rail Line. This would de-risk the coal resources at Ovoot, and allow the market to also add an estimate of valuation for the interest that is retained by Aspire in the Northern Rail Line.
This places a valuation of $0.293 per tonne on Ovoot Resources of 281 million tonnes, and equates to an EV of $82.5 million or $0.125 per Aspire share (undiluted).
The granting of the rail agreement appears to be a near term (next six months?) catalyst that will have a major impact on the EV of the Ovoot coal resource.
Infrastructure projects are viewed very favoured by institutional investors as they provide a steady and inflation adjusted income from assets that have an extremely long life, in this case the life of the rail link could easily exceed 100 years. The Mongolian economy is expanding from a very low base and has multiple resource assets that have potential to generate long term revenues from fast growing Asian markets.
We believe that funding for the Northern Line will have an additional and very major impact on the market perception and valuation of Aspire. The Company retains the Noble Group as a major investor and project development facilitator. The Noble Group is a bulk global commodity supply manager with annual sales of US$98 billion in 2013, and has the necessary financial heft and contacts to assist with funding both Ovoot and the Northern Rail Line.

Children with Reading Disorders: I. Efficacy of Reading Remediation.
Gittelman, Rachel; Feingold, Ingrid
The effect of reading remediation that emphasized phonetic decoding was investigated in 61 children with pure reading disorders, controlling for the influence of nonspecific treatment effects. The children were randomly assigned to receive instruction in reading or in other subjects for four months; and they were reevaluated immediately after, two months after, and eight months after the cessation of the intervention. At the end of treatment, the children who had received reading remediation obtained significantly higher scores on all reading tests than did the control subjects. Some of the treatment advantages were maintained beyond the treatment period. The results clearly supported the efficacy of reading remediation that emphasized phonetic skills. (Author/RL)

Wallace Stevens and the Demands of Modernity
Toward a Phenomenology of Value
Charles Altieri, one of our foremost analysts of modernism, has in his recent work argued for the importance of the affects, which philosophy has too long subordinated to cognition and ethics. In Wallace Stevens and the Demands of Modernity, Altieri focuses his attention on modernist poetry, especially that of Wallace Stevens. He argues that critics have failed to appreciate the degree to which modernist poetry, like modernist art, breaks from the epistemology that arose from cultures of empiricism. If we recognize the limits of that authority we can also recognize the close positive affinities between how we feel and how we value.
Nineteenth-century writing wanted to build values out of ways of looking at what could be established as fact. Early modernist poetry, particularly that of Stevens and Pound, labors to adapt Nietzschean attitudes toward poetry. Then Stevens embarked on an imaginative journey to find in linguistic activity itself a sufficient model for how we compose values. In both stages of his career facts must be respected, but they will not bear values simply by virtue of their connectedness to the world. We have to understand the constructive power taking place on intimate levels as we pursue that connectedness. Stevens matters, Altieri argues, because of the range and depth and intelligence by which he explores what such connectedness might involve. Stevens offers elaborate and moving experiments exploring how imaginative writing can help human beings grapple with questions about values that are at the very heart of our common experience.

Charles Altieri is Stageberg Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of many books, including The Particulars of Rapture: An Aesthetics of the Affects, also from Cornell, and Postmodernisms Now: Essays on Contemporaneity in the Arts.

PICKENS COUNTY — Given the sheer size and winding path of Hurricane (downgraded to Tropical Storm) Irma, many Upstate residents are counting their blessings.
Downed trees, power outages and school cancellations abounded but all in all, most of Pickens County agreed, it could have been a lot worse.
"There is a giant pecan tree in my neighbor's yard and half of it is dead. All I could think of all night was 'Please don't let it fall,'" said Katie Morris in Easley. "Had it gone down, it would have taken power lines and my roof with it. I feel very lucky this morning, it only lost a few branches."
Morris attributed the minimal impact of Irma in equal parts: luck and preparedness.
"We really were very fortunate up here, just look at what Florida went through — even Charleston," she said. "This could have been a real problem but people took the warnings seriously and were ready. You know us Southerners, we love to stock up on our bread and milk."
A few people in the Liberty area posted pictures of ripped off siding and missing roof shingles on social media websites but, for the most part, Irma's effect on the county appears to have resulted in more inconvenience than actual emergency.
Heather Cook, who lives in the county just outside Easley's city limits, said her power went on and off throughout the night but the real problem was a downed phone line.
"It's not that we don't have phones, everybody has cell phones today so that's not a huge issue," explained Cook. "The problem is the line is blocking the only entrance to an entire subdivision. No one can get in or out."
Cook said multiple calls for help were placed to various city and county officials and power companies before linemen showed up to the location on Pelzer Highway and Clairmont Court and stated it was an AT&T line — and AT&T's problem.
"They came out and basically said that because it wasn't a power line there wasn't anything they could do," said Cook. "But, it's still blocking our neighborhood. My neighbor finally got hold of AT&T only to have them tell her she couldn't file the report because she wasn't a customer."
Finally, enough people called AT&T to get them to flag the incident but residents were told it could still be "one to two business days" before the line was cleared, she said.
"I had to call someone to pick me up for work today and meet them at the end of my street. I literally had to duck under the lines to get out," said Cook. "I mean, you can't drive through them."
She also said a few people had taken to driving through her neighbor's yard to get to work.
"Yeah, their yard is pretty well torn up," she said. "It's a mess."

- Single fathers grew by 16.2% compared with 6% for single mothers;
- Lone-parent, families grew 8% since 2006;
- Single mothers still comprise 80% of single-parent families;
- Common-law couples increased 13.9% between 2006 and 2011 compared with 3.1% for married couples over the same period.
Former Statistics
• 38% (71,269) of Canadian marriages end in divorce
(Stats Canada 2005)
• The average duration of marriages ending in divorce in 2003 was 14.2 years
(Stats Canada 2004)
• Statistics Canada estimates that well over 16% of divorces are redivorces for one or both spouses.
(Stats Canada 2005)
• For Canada, there are no estimates of the number of children who experience multiple parental divorces. The research indicates that such multiple familial transitions correlate with declining well-being in children
(Amato and Sobolewski, 2001)
• About 10% of all Canadian children under the age of 12 are living in a stepfamily.
Vanier Institute Study,
Dr. Anne-Marie Ambert, York University
(Revised edition 2005)
• In 2001, 12% of families composed of a couple with children were stepfamilies, for a total of 503,100. Of these stepfamilies, 50% included only the mother's child(ren) from a previous union; 10% included exclusively the father's child; 8% consisted of both spouses' children from previous unions; and 32% were the result of a child having been born to a union in addition to the children born from previous ones
(Turcotte, P. (2002). Changing conjugal life in Canada. The Daily, Statistics Canada, July 11).
• 56,000 Canadian grandparents (or 1% of the total) are raising their grandchildren.
(Stats Can 2002)
• Parental divorce correlates with higher divorce rates among children when they become adults
(Liam and Wu, 2008)
• The study found that children whose parents eventually divorce show higher levels of depression, as well as higher levels of anti-social behaviour, than children whose parents remain married.
("Parental divorce and child mental health trajectories" in Journal of Marriage and Family December 2005)
• From 50% to 80% of patients treated by Canadian mental health clinics are from separated families.
(Fine, Stuart, Children in Divorce, Custody and Access Situations, CCIC)
• Parental loss was the single most powerful predictor of adult psychopathology.
(Brier et al, CCIC)
• Children of divorced parents may:
o suffer from depression, anxiety and other emotional disorders
o exhibit behavioural problems including hyperactivity, aggressiveness
o fighting and hostility
o become young offenders
o underachieve at school and leave school earlier
(Furstenberg and Kiernan 2001, LeBlanc, McDuff and Tremblay 1995 and Sun & Li 2002)
• Teenagers of divorce are three times more likely to be in psychological counselling, are suspended or expelled from school five times the rate of children from intact families.

Federation coloured glass[previous page: Federation Windows next page: Federation Doors]

- See also Federation Windows
Gothic influence on Coloured Glass
|(Left)The windows of the choir of Cologne Cathedral, (early 14th century)
(Right) Crucifixion with Ss Catherine, George and Margaret, Leechkirche, Graz, Austria
Coloured Glass paned window sets
|Bullseye Leadlight window
- Ornately patterned Leadlight windows were made in casement style, which open out along the vertical axis.
- These Lead Light windows were hand made by skilled craftsmen
- Styles could range from floral with Art Nouveau influences to a simple geometric pattern.
- Also popular were simple groupings of 3 or 4 casement windows in a single line.
- Federation Casement sets often included Transom lights, the smaller window above the main casement.
- These Transom lights were very often fitted with coloured moulded patterned glass. - Terrace House Factory
A leadlight panel is comprised of a design of glass pieces held together in a framework of lead came. Leadlight is made using either clear or coloured glass, which can be flat or of various textures. Leadlight is thought to have come into being in Roman times, when only very small pieces of glass could be produced; the process of using metal bars to hold the glass pieces together enabled a larger area to be covered, for example in a window opening.
When some of the glass pieces are hand painted and fired in a kiln, then it is called stained glass, even though the leading process holding the pieces of glass together is the same. However larger pieces of painted glass tend to occur in stained glass, where definition can be provided by light and shade in the painting process.
This is not the case in leadlight, where each individual shape needs to be defined by lead. The process of leadlighting involves first drawing a pattern, called a cartoon; then individual glass pieces are cut from this cartoon, and leaded together. Each lead join is soldered, to hold the framework together. The panel is puttied to give it strength and to make it weatherproof ; cleaned ; and often the lead is blackened to give a uniform finish to the lead and solder joins.
What makes a well-constructed leadlight panel ?
A well constructed leadlight panel should be firm to the touch, and should not rattle. Lead lines and joins are smooth, and there are no ragged glass edges visible under the edges of the lead, nor any chips out of the glass along the lead lines. The solder joins should be smooth and flat, not lumpy and not particularly noticeable. Straight lines should be straight, and circular and oval shapes even. The panel should be fully puttied to make it weatherproof and strong.
- http://www.agdavic.com.au/Architectural-Glass/Leadlight/What-is-Leadlight-.asp
Prior to World War I, in domestic architecture, the front entrance remained the focus for decorative leadlighting. It was also commonly used for stair-well windows.
Federation leadlight designs express Australian's Edwardian sentiments.
- They contain symbols of Empire and Dominion such as roses, lilies, thistles, as well as waratahs, flannel flowers, and other indigenous flora and fauna.
- With the emergence of Australian Nationalism, kookaburras, currawongs and the occasional larrikin cockatoo quickly displaced the delicately painted robins, finches and similar European birds and flowers most often seen in Victorian windows.

Firefighters Join Police in pulling endorsement of Kevin Bacon over SB5
2 days ago Joseph posted about the FOP formally pulling their endorsement of State Senator Kevin Bacon. Today another shoe dropped. Jack Reall, President of IAFF Local 67 sent Senator Bacon his own letter. I had the pleasure to meet Jack during my trip to Local 67 to interview General President Harold Schaitberger. He was decked out in a kilt with utility pockets prepared to march on the statehouse.
Full letter:
Kevin Bacon, Senator
3rd District, Ohio Senate
Senator Bacon,
On March 9, 2011, the members of the Columbus Fire Fighters Union voted unanimously to rescind your endorsement for Ohio's 3rd Senate seat. This decision was reached due to your misleading comments during our Political screening process and your subsequent actions conflicting with your commitment to our members.
During our Political Screening process, you were asked about your position on collective bargaining. Your response to our members was that you supported collective bargaining in its current form for firefighters. You further stated you were familiar with the successes of collective bargaining due to your involvement with the Westerville Fire Fighters Union as a Blendon Township trustee. Our members believed your commitment and voted to endorse you for the Ohio Senate, 3rd District.
Your actions in supporting and voting for Senate Bill 5 do not reflect the commitment you made to our members. We must hold you accountable for this lack of integrity.
In a further act of misinformation, you sent letters to my members today indicating that SB5 "does not eliminate anyone's right to collectively bargain." In fact, SB 5 strips the rights of almost one quarter of Ohio's union fire fighters to collectively bargain by making it illegal for supervisors to have bargaining rights.
This is the first time in recent history that the Columbus Fire Fighters Union has found it necessary to rescind the endorsement from any candidate they have screened. It is unfortunate that we cannot count on our elected officials to uphold the integrity that is expected of them.
Jack Reall, President
Columbus Fire Fighters Union, IAFF 67
Supporting Those Who Support Us,
And Caring for All!
This is great news. I think my favorite part of the letter was when Mr. Reall stated that "We must hold you accountable for this lack of integrity."
Excellently worded letter overall. Bravo! Also, bravo on doing the research and pointing out what this bill actually does instead of accepting the rhetoric and lies the Senator put out there as his justification.
Thank you firefighters, well done!
Please don't forget the GOP politicians who lied to screw you and the rest of the hard-working Americans who made this country great.
Actions have consequences.
So very proud of this decision! We support you!
Real Get Real
Maybe we should put collectively bargaining up as a constitutional amendment in the 2012 election. Would certainly draw more Dems to the polls. Plus would ask Ohioans if they like education and public safety as much as gambling and casinos.
If we dont have our integrity we have nothing !!!!!
Random Thoughts
I don't know whether to be impressed or upset that I got the EXACT same letter as the CFFU.
Methinks Senator Bacon is fried..

Report of gunshots near UCF leads to felony drug investigation
Report of gunshots near UCF leads to felony drug investigation
ORLANDO, Fla. —
A report of gunshots at an apartment complex near the University of Central Florida has become a felony drug investigation.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, deputies couldn't locate any gunshot victims at the Mercury 3100 off-campus student housing center. However, deputies said two men fled the area and a gun was found nearby.
Investigators said the gun was traced to the apartment where deputies had been called.
Three other men were detained, one of whom had marijuana in his possession, according to the sheriff's office.

About every ten years kitchens and bathrooms should be updated, but not everyone has the budget to do that. By repainting or refinishing cabinets and choosing new hardware (knobs or pulls), a new backsplash, or new counter tops, these rooms can be refreshed without tearing the whole kitchen or bathroom out.
1. Repainting Cabinets
A fresh coat of paint in clean modern tones can do wonders for kitchen or bathroom cabinets. This process is best carried out by removing cabinet doors, washing thoroughly, filling any chips and holes and sanding them down before applying a primer. Time spent in careful preparation will result in a more professional looking finish. Paint should be applied smoothly and allowed to dry completely before additional coats and before doors are rehung.
It is worth investing in high quality paints that are suitable for wet areas, particularly for bathroom cabinets. It is also worth taking the time to explore a range of color options by selecting sample tins and painting a small area. Stretch your imagination and try out colors and combinations you wouldn't usually go for. Leave each sample on for a day or two and visualize your cabinets in this color. By investing this time in choosing the right color scheme, you'll ensure that you end up with something you can live with.
2. Staining Cabinets
If your cabinets are wooden, an attractive alternative to repainting cabinets is to refinish them with a stain. The high gloss varnish cupboard decor has become very dated and can make your kitchen or bathroom seem smaller and darker than it really is. Instead, choose a natural, mat stain for pared down and light look. Modern stains are available in a wide range of tones and can be applied using a similar process to painting.
Before you apply your stain, thorough sanding with finer and finer grades of paper is necessary in order to remove all varnish so that your staining will be smooth, bright and clean. This simple, natural look is complemented well by brass and copper handles, knobs and pulls.
3. The "Shabby Chic" Look
In older homes with solid wood cabinetry, refurbishing in the "Shabby Chic" or "French Country" look is a popular way to give rooms a new lease on life while honoring the character of the home. The look involves distressing paint and this can be done at home in three easy steps.
Firstly, paint the cabinets in an off-white shade using circular motions with a rag, rather than a paintbrush. When the paint is fully dry, rub it lightly with sandpaper and wipe clean. Finally, glaze the cabinets with a mat varnish. One of the attractions of this method is that little preparation work is required as any dents, chips or imperfections in the cabinets will only add to the old world charm. This look can be beautifully accented with open shelves displaying delicate china cups and saucers, teapots with handmade cosies or vases of fresh flowers.
4. Jazzing It All Up With New Hardware, Backsplash Or Counter Tops
New hardware can be purchased inexpensively and can be the perfect way to finish off a fresh new look. Handles and pulls in brushed chrome, copper and solid wood are all great looks on freshly painted or stained cabinets. To add color and interest to the room, many people even choose to paint fittings in bright contrasting shades.
A glazier or tiler can install a new backsplash which can give a kitchen or bathroom a clean, modern look at a fraction of the cost of a full kitchen refit. Some of the latest looks are wide glass splash-backs in bright primary colors or bench to ceiling tiles in soft grays, ivory or cream. Similarly, a new bench top can transform a room. Made to measure tops can be purchased from kitchen shops or it can be possible to pick up a bargain at a demolition yard or on sites such as e-bay. Clean lines, white, polished wood, marble and sleek stainless steel are all popular options in modern renovations.
In summary, if your kitchen or bathroom is in need of an update, it can be done without taking out a second mortgage. With a little lateral thinking, some careful research and a few hours of 'Do It Yourself' hard work, anyone can bring their home stylishly into the twenty first century.

Workshop Safety
Safety In The Workshop
Workshops can be some of the most hazardous, high risk places to work. That is is why strong workshop safety management is so vital.
Key questions to ask about your workshop safety.
- Is your workshop safety manual up-to-date?
- When did you last conduct a workshop safety risk assessment?
- How up to date is your staff safety training?
- How do you ensure you keep informed about the latest safety legislation relevant for your working environment?
Contact Safety for Work today to request a FREE mini safety audit
Common Workshop Safety Issues
Slips, Trips and Falls in the Workshop – One of the most common workshop safety issues are accidents from slipping, tripping or falling. Workshop machinery adds a more dangerous element to the mix. Good housekeeping and staff safety training can prevent a vast amount of these injuries.
Workshop Transport Safety – The most common form of transport used in the workshop is the forklift truck. Heavy goods vehicles can also be brought into the workshop when dispatching or receiving goods as can specialised equipment such as diggers and mobile cranes for tasks such as the installation or maintenance of machinery. Extra care and attention is needed from both staff and drivers to prevent accidents happening. Accidents can also happen when loading or unloading delivery vehicles. Fumes from vehicles need to be properly ventilated to avoid workplace pollution.
Manual Handling Safety in the Workshop – Manual handling is more than just lifting heavy items – it includes putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving of a load.
Safer Manual Handling -To avoid the hazards presented by manual handling, you will need to investigate whether manual handling can be eliminated or reduced.
Solutions could involve:
- Adequate training on safe manual handling techniques for relevant staff
- Mechanical handling to eliminate the need for manual handling
- Mechanical assistance such as manual or electrical hoists or pneumatic platforms to assist the manual handling
Exposure to hazardous substances can occur during most workshop operations but frequently occurs during:
- Machining where the material being machined causes harmful dust or may give off toxic fumes
- Welding, where the heating of metal gives off hazardous fumes
- Painting where the vapour from paint thinners or solvents may be hazardous
- Cleaning and degreasing where solvents can be hazardous.
It is a legal requirement that LEV (local exhaust ventilation) equipment is examined and tested every 14 months. If metal articles are abraded or polished for more than 12 hours a week then testing needs to be every 6 months.
Workshop Equipment Safety
Employers need ensure that work equipment, of any age or source, is safe to use and its use does not result in any health and safety risks.
The definition of work equipment is very wide and includes:
- Hand tools
- Workshop machinery
- Office machinery
- Lab equipment
- Lifting equipment
- General use equipment such as ladders and steps
- A series of machines connected together in a manufacturing line.
Working Alone
It would be unreasonable for an employer to allow an employee to work in a workshop alone. Two employees should be sited close enough together to communicate in the case of an emergency.
Workshop Noise Risks & Noise Risk Assessments
An employer has a duty to protect employees from excessive noise. If you cannot hear a person speaking 2m away in a normal voice anywhere in the workshop then the noise is likely to be 85dB(A) or above and a noise survey should be carried out.
Noise risk assessments are available from Safety for Work Ltd – click here
Electrical Safety in the Workshop
Electricity is used extensively in all workshops often at a higher voltage, 415v, than domestic supplies. PAT (portable appliance testing) needs to be conducted regularly.
The dangers from electricity can come from Portable Electrical Equipment
If at all possible, portable electrical equipment should be operating at voltages of 50v AC or less.
Leads, plugs and sockets are often a source of accidents. Problems usually arise from damage to the insulation on the lead or strain on the connection into the plug.
Personal Protective Equipment – including Work clothing
A significant contribution to safety in the workshop can be made by personnel being dressed appropriately.

By David J. Thompson
Three food co-ops in New Hampshire are leading the way in actions that carry out the Sixth Principle of the International Cooperative Alliance: "Cooperation among Cooperatives." First, Hanover Food Co-op, then Littleton Food Co-op and now Monadnock Food Co-op have all joined the national Cooperative Community Fund program. The members and boards of the co-ops have built their funds into three endowments that in total amount to close to $450,000. You will be amazed at what cooperation has achieved and for how many people in just one state.
Run by the Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation (TPCF), the Cooperative Community Fund (CCF) program is operated locally by about 45 food co-ops all across the USA. The CCF funds are endowments grown by each of the food co-ops where the annual interest earned is given by those 45 food co-ops to nonprofits in their community. On its part, TPCF invests the joint funds only in the development of cooperatives. The full $3 million in TPCF funds cycles only within our family of cooperatives and leverages $30 million in total for the development of cooperatives. There are no dollars invested in the Stock Market but millions in Co-op Markets.
TPCF's CCF policy is to invest its funds proportionately to spur cooperative development in the regions from where the funds come.
Using just one fund for example, TPCF has over $600,000 invested in the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund (NHCLF). The major program of the NHCLF is to help residents of mobile home parks in New Hampshire to form cooperatives to buy the parks they rent in, increasing the financial independence of these long-term renters. As of the end of 2016, NHCLF has funded the residents buying 121 parks in New Hampshire!
The Cooperative Community Funds of these three NH food co-ops participate in the Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation, which invests in the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, which in turn used the funds to help residents form co-ops to buy 28 mobile home parks in the three New Hampshire counties which are served by the three food co-ops. Eleven of these co-op parks are in Cheshire County, home to Monadnock Food Co-op. That truly is Cooperation among Cooperatives.
By helping those residents buy 121 mobile home parks, the NHCLF has helped 6,800 NH families to own not only their own home but cooperatively the land beneath their home. NHCLF has freed about 20,000 residents of NH from being permanent renters to being owners of their parks.
So think about that dollar you want to donate to charity and think about how each dollar given to a CCF immediately leverages ten dollars for the development of cooperatives both regionally and across our country, then delivers interest to be donated to local non-profits. How's that for cooperation?

International Co-operative Alliance, Sixth Principle, Co-operation Among Co-operatives" "Co-operatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the co-operative movement by working together through local, national, regional and international structures."
David J. Thompson is President of the Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation which is the largest single co-op investor in cooperative development organizations in the USA. Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation is a long-term investor in the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund.

Our expert NCAAB handicapper continues his look at teams that have had significant injuries on the season, and who could be candidates to fade down the stretch!
Injuries are a fact of life for all sports. But when it comes to college basketball a key injury can wreck a team's season quickly. Mid-majors are especially vulnerable, as a few stars can anchor a starting five and make a team competitive night in and night out. With that, let's take a look at some teams currently working their way through injury concerns and how this situation may affect your college basketball picks.
Nebraska Cornhuskers, Big 10: 10-13 SU
Nebraska lost one of their senior guards to a ruptured patella tendon in Anton Gill in December. Ouch, quite literally. However, one of their starting forwards, Ed Morrow, has also been sidelined with a foot injury and that is a more serious concern for the Huskers. Since Morrow has been missing from the lineup Nebraska has gone 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS. Watch his status closely as the season continues.
New Mexico Lobos, Mountain West: 18-5 SU
New Mexico has multiple injury concerns right now. First they lost their starting forward, Tim Williams, and 17.9 points per game last week for the remainder of the season. Now one of their starting guards, Dane Kuiper, is missing time due to a concussion. For a clue on how these absences have affected the team, consider this – the Lobos lost to the San Jose State Spartans in the first game without these two players. San Jose State had never beat New Mexico in 13 tries and won outright as a 10.5-point dog in NCAA basketball odds, 78-68.
North Texas, Conference USA: 6-16 SU
North Texas' season has derailed, and the Mean Green Eagles have lost 10 in a row SU as I write this up. One of the reasons for this is the loss of starting forward, Jeremy Combs, and his 10.2 points per game due to an ankle injury. To add insult to injury, SMU transfer guard, Keith Frazier, also was lost for the season after a car accident. The Green Eagles are 0-8 on the road and are just playing out the stretch.
Northwestern Wildcats, Big 10: 18-6 SU
Northwestern is playing admirably in the Big 10, and will likely make the NCAA tournament. However, their starting guard, Scottie Lindsey, has come down with mononucleosis and could miss the entire month of February. Lindsey was responsible for 15.4 points per game up to this point, and the Wildcats have lost both games without Lindsey SU and ATS in his absence so far. They need to be faded until Lindsey returns back to form. Worst sore throat ever!
Ohio Bobcats, Mid-American: 14-8 SU
The Bobcats lost one of their top big men in Antonio Campbell in mid-January, putting a crimp in their plans to win the MAC. Campbell's 6' 9", 251 lb. frame and 16.4 points per game will be missed for the rest of the season after he broke his foot. The Bobcats are just 3-4 SU and ATS in Campbell's absence, after going 11-3 SU with him in the lineup. Look for them to struggle against teams with superior inside play.

Nebraska Women Play Kansas In 1st Round Of NCAAs
Nebraska Women Play Kansas In 1st Round Of NCAAs
LINCOLN, Neb. —
Nebraska will play a familiar foe in the first round of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
The sixth-seeded Cornhuskers (24-8) will play No. 11 Kansas (19-12) in Little Rock, Ark., on Sunday in the Des Moines Regional.
The Huskers and Jayhawks have met 80 times - the most Nebraska has played any opponent. They met regularly until last season, Nebraska's last in the Big 12 before joining the Big Ten.
Coach Connie Yori said she couldn't imagine being more familiar with an NCAA tournament opponent. She said she probably knows the names of six or seven KU players without looking at a roster.
Nebraska enters the NCAAs with its second-highest win total in program history and off victories in four of its last five games.

Family Law Attorney Serving Denton County and all of North Texas
Dedication, Personal Attention, Results
If you are going through a divorce, custody battle, domestic abuse proceeding, or any other type of family law matter, it is in your best interests to hire a reputable, experienced family law attorney committed to protecting your legal rights and who will provide you with objective, honest legal counsel – even if you don't necessarily want to hear it.
At The Law Office of Gregory C. Goline, PLLC, I make it a priority to stay current on trends and developments in Texas family law. Our firm continually strives for excellence when serving family law clients in Denton County and throughout North Texas.
As a family law attorney who specializes in this complex and nuanced area of law, I have considerable experience handling a vast array of family law matters; and I am very familiar with many of the family law courts, judges, and various attorneys who often serve as opposing counsel.
Comprehensive and Compassionate Legal Representation in Family Law Matters
In Texas,"family law" matters may include just about anything; my clients find themselves involved in all sorts of family law disputes. Whether I am working to resolve a client's "uncontested" divorce, negotiating a highly-complex marital asset valuation, or arguing a highly contentious custody case, I understand that each client and each matter is unique and fully deserving of my attention and dedication.
A long time ago, I made two promises to myself regarding my career as an attorney: 1) I will never regard my clients as faceless case numbers; and 2) I will treat all of my clients – regardless of "net worth" or social status – with the same levels of respect and commitment.
Your case may be the most important thing you have ever had to deal with, and you deserve a North Texas divorce and family law attorney who will give 100% no matter what.
What Falls Under the Umbrella of Family Law?
As mentioned, a very wide swath of legal issues and proceedings may be classified as family law matters.
Here is a brief list of just some of the family matters I handle on a routine basis:
- Divorce
- Child Custody
- Divorce modifications
- Child custody modifications
- Child support modifications
- Property division
- Spousal support/maintenance
- Enforcement of divorce court orders
- Grandparents' rights
- Family violence and protective orders
- Adoption
- And more
**Note: If your case is one of the first impression to me (meaning that I, personally, have never litigated the specific issue or represented clients in similar situations), I will not only disclose this information to you – I promise to do whatever it takes to learn what I need to know so that I can provide you with only the highest level of legal representation. You need to feel confident in your attorney's abilities, and I will always respect your decisions in this regard.
Resolving Family Law Matters
There are a number of ways to resolve one or more of the family law matters you may be going through. The good news is that, in many cases, parties reach final agreements prior to seeking any court involvement. In other cases, parties may reach settlement agreements after engaging in some litigation, but before a final trial takes place. Yet, in other cases, it is inevitable that final trials and resulting court orders are necessary to convince parties to move on.
In order to reach the finish line in a family law case, there may be hurdles to jump and obstacles to overcome. The emotional mindset of one or more parties may prove to be one such obstacle. Sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, and resentment are powerful and potentially lingering emotions that you and your legal team should never minimize or discount. In order to resolve these cases, it may be necessary to develop legal strategies that include an acknowledgment of these feelings.
I have drafted many settlement agreements incorporating language that does not compromise my clients' goals and interests, but that does allow people to feel as though they have saved face. Sometimes, that is all it takes.
Whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, I have the experience to help you get through the maze that is known as family law. I will guide you through this difficult process with care and compassion, and I will fight hard on your behalf so you can reach your goals and obtain the best possible results.
Contact The Law Office of Gregory C. Goline, PLLC today.
Contact me now at (940) 465-9872 to schedule a complimentary consultation. I offer this type of complimentary consultation in order to provide you with a meaningful opportunity to meet me and discuss your case. My goal for our initial meeting is to furnish you with the information you need to determine if I am the best fit for you and your family law needs. My office is in Denton, and I serve clients throughout North Texas.

Tracy and Andy's Wedding at Arbor Pointe Event Center
Tracy and Andy's wedding at Round Rock's Arbor Pointe Event Center.
Arbor Pointe Event Center Wedding
Jenn and Tony Roland held their wedding at Arbor Pointe Event Center in Round Rock on a beautiful September day. The wedding had a vintage feel to it complete with Coca-Cola for everyone and a classic Ford as the bride and groom's getaway car. Everyone had a lot of fun as the reception flowed between both the inside and outside of the venue – with a photo booth in the middle of it for those brave enough to give it a shot!
Local Austin band, Uncle Lucius, provided the entertainment outside with unique southern rock and soul music; playing their original songs as well as one of the few bands able to pull off legitimate covers of greats like Johnny Cash.
Jenn, Tony, and their family and friends were a lot of fun and we hope to see them again someday!

Turn Left
Seeing Turn Left at a Big! Lots really appealed to me, most likely because of the rare can design, having to do with race cars and going fast, although it's fairly different than what you'd normally see. I find it a bit cliche to base an energy drink with a theme relating to fast speeds, horsepower, racing, you know, it's just so every-day for a company to do that. Because of the cloned can design, I'll bet to find a flavor just like a Monster/ Red Bull. Knowing this, I can now bring my hopes down just a bit, though maybe it's better than a Monster, or perhaps not even a Monster or Red Bull clone at all. Going back to the can design, it looks most like a NASCAR game, due to the multicolored cars racing on a black paved track with advertisements covering most of the cars. Behind the cars are the zoom lines you see artists draw showing how fast a car is going. Above all, there's the phrase, "Turn Left" along with two flags behind it. I find Turn Left's motto a bit cliche as well, "Liquid Horsepower." You know, you cannot really see an energy drink nowadays without seeing the same basic motto, being "Pure Energy/Fuel" or "Liquid Horsepower."
After opening up Turn Left, I have to say, my hypothesis was right on the dot, a true Monster Clone, but with much more sweetness to it. As you are reading this, you may know by now the color of it, golden amber, just like any Monster, Red Bull, and anything in between. Curiously examining the flavor, I'll note it tastes almost significantly different than a Monster Clone, I mean staying in the general area of Monster Clones alike. Instead of that crisp feeling you get when swigging a few sips of a Monster, it's being filled with an uncommon sweetness, and a slight amount of dullness. I analyze the flavor and find the sweetness is an incredible vanilla, with no artificialness mixed in, just pure vanilla flavoring. Although, I can conclude the fact that there's corn syrup, it's not all that dull. Drinking more of Turn Left, the sensation is more caramel and vanilla, and less simple Monster apple, berry, and citrus, tasting a lot like a caramel apple, without the struggle of biting in the apple and the caramel getting everywhere... As for gumminess, I found it quite interesting to see Turn Left create a Monster Clone with HFCS, and not for it to be gummy at all. Compared to a Monster, I'd say this drink is less carbonated, hence giving it an overall richer flavor to it. Overall, I'm starting to get used to these Monster Clones, and I can conclude that this was perhaps even better than any Monster, tasting higher class, with more diverse flavor than a usual apple-berry-citrus.
As for ingredients in a can of Turn Left, it seems to me it's basic and much less than any Monster-like drink I've reviewed. There's a standard, yet simple list consisting of: Carbonated water, corn syrup, citric acid, taurine, sodium benzoate, caffeine, inositol, natural and artificial flavors, dextrose, nicotinamide, calcium D pantothenate, pyridoxine, hydrochloride, and cyanocobalamin. Simple ingredients, though not many Monster Clones are sweetened with corn syrup and dextrose. Most of them are usually sweetened with sucrose, glucose, and/or Sucralose. Per can, there's a raw count of 242 calories and only 56g of sugar, not bad for a sweet drink like this. I used to say this a lot when drinking energy drinks with HFCS, "When sweetened with HFCS, energy drinks need to have more sugar contained, while drinks sweetened with sucrose and glucose do not need to have as much sugar." I can prove this statement wrong, however, because high fructose corn syrup is more potent than sucrose and glucose. Anyway, on energy ingredients, this drink is mean, having 1900mg of taurine and a nice 190mg of caffeine. Reviewing a high caffeinated energy drink late at night isn't the greatest, but I can handle it. Coming back a few hours later, I'll let you know the kick is insane, lasting about 3 hours, and nothing but jitteriness. All in all, the best Monster-Clone you'll find out there, in terms of taste, and even kick.
Taste: 8.6 - Incredible vanilla-caramel apple flavor, though if it were more crisp, it would have been nearly perfect
Kick: 8.8 - With 190mg of caffeine, I was truly jittery for quite awhile
Overall: 8.7 - I must say, this is the best Monster Clone I can recall tasting, perhaps even better than a Monster
