Ibiza Implements Unbreakable Glass (of the month club)
No commentsBy Roger Munns
If you’re ever in a bar fight in Ibiza and someone tries to smash a beer bottle to threaten you, the end result might not be as bad as you think.
When the bottle makes impact, instead of it being a deadly weapon, it will stay intact. A Lancashire police officer has recently introduced a new type of beverage container that is practically unbreakable and unbeatably practical.
Sgt. Richard Hurt presented the unbreakable glasses to the Club Health 2008 conference in Ibiza, an annual international conference on nightlife safety issues. He explained how the police and the alcohol industry can work together to reduce violent crime using the technology. Representatives from many countries around the globe were impressed by Lancashire’s finest. In particular, Australia, Sweden and Ireland were interested in the unbreakable drink holders and offered some of their own nightlife safety ideas at the conference.
Made of polycarbonate, the new glass comes in nearly every shape and size that a pub or club uses, but they can’t be broken and used as a weapon. This has already drastically reduced the number of glass-related crimes in Lancashire. They have also prevented many glass-related accidents, which is also a serious problem in bars.
Even long-stemmed wine glasses and beer bottles have been made from the polycarbonate material. The unbreakable glasses look and feel like traditional glasses, though they are a bit lighter. They also keep beverages colder for a longer period of time, which keeps patrons happy when they’re playing darts and have to leave their drink alone for a little while.
Sgt. Hurt was invited by Club Health because of the decrease in violent crime and accidents in Lancashire. Though the trip was a success, it didn’t come without criticism. Many in England criticized the use of funds to send an officer on a three day trip to the party capital of the world. Though he was there on business, Hurt sampled the local restaurants and was taken to San Antonio to have a private view of the Ibiza sunset.
He also was treated to a night at Privilege, considered the world’s largest nightclub. A government official in a neighbouring community pointed out that ten percent less crimes are being solved in Lancashire and there are thirty percent less officers on the beat. Other critics called the trip a ‘jolly’ - or in other words a trip motivated by leisure, saying that anyone wanting the expertise of British police should come to Britain, not the other way around. Many taxpayers and officials point to over-stretched funds as an argument against the validity of the trip.
Whether the trip was a good use of public funds or not is debatable, but it’s certain that both Ibiza and Lancashire will benefit from the information transaction. By using polycarbonate glasses, Ibiza can help ensure the safety of its inhabitants and guests. Especially in Ibiza, an island full of sun and heat, where tempers flare because of alcohol and climate, unbreakable beer, wine and liquor glasses keep partygoers safe. The youthful party capital of the world is trailblazing innovations in public safety.

How to Detoxify Your Body and Get Rid of Fat Stomach
By Cheow Yu Yuan
To get rid of your fat stomach, you need to detoxify your body and engage in healthy weight loss diet. A well-balanced diet and a full body detoxification can help to shed those ugly stomach fats.
Let us start off with detoxification of your body. Having too much toxin in your stomach will cause your body to store them as fat cell, which will result in a larger stomach. One important step to detoxify your body is to have a simple colon cleansing. By cleansing your colon, you can get rid of those harmful toxins in your intestines, as well as the bloated and fat feeling. By doing so, it can help you to lose weight effectively.
There are a few ways that you can cleanse your colon. One way is to always eat fruits and vegetables with every meal. Addition of water, fruits and vegetables to your diet can dramatically help cleanse your colon, making you healthier and leaner. Try to cut down on red meat and diary products like milked coffee, as these foods congest your digestive tract.
If you do not have the habit of eating fruits or vegetables in every meal, develop it now! One way to help you get into the habit is to drink fruit or vegetable juice instead of soft drink or coffee after meal. Soft drink is high in fat and you should avoid it at all cost. Also, do not drink at the same time as you eat. By doing so, you are diluting your digestive juice which in turn slows down your digestion. Then, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day so as to help flush out unwanted toxins from your body.
You can also drink 2 glasses of water before every meal to make yourself feel full. This will prevent you from overeating and taking in more calories than your body requires. Your body will convert excess calories into fat, causing you to get fat.
Another way to detoxify your body is to eat more protein-rich foods such as rice, beans, and nuts. These foods will help cleanse your body and get rid of those unwanted toxin.
Detoxification and colon cleansing is extremely important if you want to lose weight successfully. By just changing your eating habits, you will definitely see a drastic change in your overall health and weight. Eat more healthily and drink more water is a good way to get rid of your fat stomach.

Dusseldorf Alt Bier: The Style
By Shawn Burgy
Northern Dusseldorf German Alt Bier is a very tasty and
satisfying beer.
a loose translation of Alt Bier would be Old Beer.
It is said to be one of the oldest styles in Germany.
Rumored to be a beer before Germany had access to Lager yeast.
It is a lot like a big malty English
Bitter.
It tends to have much more hop bitterness than does an
English Bitter.
It’s big on malt and how it is brewed.
Very few examples of Dusseldorf Alt Bier can be found in the US.
The only way that I have had Alt Bier is by brewing it myself.
It is a very tasty and easy beer for the homebrewer to make.
Normally this beer would be brewed using a decotion mash.
However you can make a very good Alt Bier by using single infusion mashing.
Gravity for Alt Bier is between 1.046 - 1.056 original gravity.
Most are hopped between 25-40 IBU’s, All dependent upon the gravity.Always hopped with German noble hops.
These usually being Spalt, Hallertau Mittelfrau and sometimes Tettnanger.
Typically made with a Pils base and colored with roasted malt or dark crystal. May include small amounts of Munich or Vienna malt. Noble hops. usually made with an attenuative ale yeast.
This is one beer that you don’t want to steer wrong yeast wise.
My suggestion is Wyeast 1007 German Dusseldorf Ale.
It gives it the perfect big creamy head.
Also the perfect degree of malt flavour.
Subtle malty, sometimes grainy aroma. Low to no noble hop aroma. Clean, lager character with very restrained ester profile. No diacetyl.
Fairly bitter yet balanced by a smooth and sometimes sweet malt character that may have a rich, biscuity and/or lightly caramelly flavor. Dry finish often with lingering bitterness. Clean, lager character sometimes with slight sulfury notes and very low to no esters. Very low to medium noble hop flavor. No diacetyl.
Most Altbiers produced outside of Dusseldorf are of the Northern German style.
Most are simply moderately bitter brown lagers. Ironically “alt” refers to the old style of brewing
(i.e. making ales), which makes the term “Altbier” somewhat inaccurate and
inappropriate.
Those that are made as ales are fermented at cool
ale temperatures and lagered at cold temperatures (as with
Dusseldorf Alt).
If you can find them commercial examples would be, DAB Traditional, Hannen Alt,
Grolsch Amber, Alaskan
Amber, St. Stan’s Amber, Schmaltz’ Alt
I have been brewing since the craze in the 90’s, I stuck to it. Now I’m sharing what I know with you. So give the site below a visit today.
It will be evolving and growing with many resources for the new and old brewer alike.
