Weekly Flavor

  • Brian: Carrier Mild, Lawson’s Finest LiquidsEnglish Dark Mild Ale, 4.2%ABV. Brewed only once, this rare brew has a raisin fruitiness with coffee and a hint of cherry skin. There is some roast bitterness, but it is held in check.
  • Frank’s Find of the Week – Blue Cheese

    Blue Cheese is an indica cross created by crossing a Blueberry male with an original U.K. Cheese (a Skunk #1 phenotype) female. The sweet and savory smells of berry and blue cheese combine to create a creamy, unique flavor reminiscent of the original Cheese. The heavy indica effects will help you feel relaxed at the end of the day and can provide relief for muscle spasms, pain, and stress.

    • 11-YEAR OLD FALLS FROM NZ CHAIRLIFT

      Jack Clulee slipped from the lift in Mt Hutt before his father could lower the safety bar. Quick thinking ski patrollers saved the boy from injury.

      As the two borded the lift the boy slipped and his father, Kevin, grabbed him and was able to hold on to him by his jacket.

      The lift coninued and the child was left dangling 10m above the ground.

      He would undoubtedly have been seriously injured in any fall.

      Quick thinking ski patollers grabbed the safety cushions from around a nearby pylon and held them in place underneath the boy with the help of passing skiers.

      He fell into it to a round of applause from others who had stopped to help.

      The whole ordeal lasted a minute and a half.

      “It was pretty scary. I was just thinking to myself I didn’t want to fall because it was quite high up,” Jack told the NZ Herald newspaper.

      After the incident he skied down and re-joined the queue.

      “Jack hanging out at Mt Hutt. He all good,” added his father on Facebook.

       

    • Warren Miller Find His Freedom

      Attending a film screening of Miller’s was like an underground gathering for the ski world. The finger was always on the pulse. It was fun and inspiring.

      The new book “Freedom Found” by Warren Miller and Andy Bigford tells the story of this master storyteller, spinning the tale of his life with the unique skill he honed over decades.

      From a dysfunctional and unhappy childhood, Miller ultimately built an entertainment institution that took him to fantastic heights of both society and geography but also the ocean-deep lows of personal nightmares.

      “Life was wonderful as long as I was not at home,” Miller recalls of his upbringing. “My early life did help me grow one talent: it sharpened my sense of finding ways to make money through entrepreneurship, though we didn’t know the word at that time. Hunger is a great training tool.” Along the journey, he ate any way he could.
