The first step for SaveOnBrew.com was to create an accurate database of local retail beer prices for every zip code in America. Now the company is looking to help promote America’s craft brewers by publishing exclusive feature interviews.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) August 23, 2013

The first step for SaveOnBrew.com was to create a reliable database of local beer prices for every zip code in America. Now they are looking to promote America’s small craft brewers by publishing exclusive feature interviews in their Beer Blog, which is seen by hundreds of thousands of beer enthusiasts from coast-to-coast.

“Many beer blogs publish reviews, but we wanted to do something different,” says founder Mark Davidson. “We feel that craft beer drinkers are not only interested in flavors, but they’re more willing to support a brand that has the same values they do or brands that have interesting characters and stories behind them. Many of our readers are home brewers who may have ambitions of starting up a brewery or who could benefit from a behind-the-scenes look at how beer is brewed.”

Each Tuesday, the blog highlights a new American craft brewer. Past interviews have been conducted with Fireman’s Brew from California, New Jersey Beer Co from “the garden state,” Dry Dock Brewing from Aurora CO, and Lost Tribes Brewing Company from New York City. In addition to speaking with brewers, SaveOnBrew also interviews beer cicerones, local bar owners, distributors, TV hosts, and inventors.

“We’re grateful to have heard many excellent stories from behind-the-scenes of America’s beer industry,” Davidson says. “Lost Tribes told us about speaking with beer fans from Ethiopia, where the beer you drink is seen as a cultural status symbol. Dry Dock had a really funny story about brewing sushi beer. We loved hearing who New Jersey Beer Co’s Paul Silverman would drink with, if given the chance. Fireman’s Brew combined passion for beer with charitable work, which is really cool. Truly, every brewer has a fascinating story to tell.”

Upcoming interviews planned in coming weeks include Clay Robinson from Sun King Brewing Company (of Indianapolis) and Matt Kyle, inventor of The Fusion Tower beer gadget. SaveOnBrew is currently accepting pitches from U.S. craft brewers who are interested in gaining exposure for their brands. Interested parties may contact Mark Davidson directly.

The exclusive beer industry interviews can be found at on the SaveOnBrew blog, or via their Facebook page.

Colorado Democrat Facing Recall Vows To Defeat Gun Lobby

$
0
0
WASHINGTON -- As Colorado's state legislature considered landmark gun control measures this year to reduce gun violence, state Sen. Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) was widely regarded as the swing vote in the Senate State Affairs Committee.

The reforms included requiring background checks for all firearm purchases and a ban on ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Gun rights advocates steadfastly opposed the bills and focused on Giron, the committee chairwoman, who ultimately voted in favor of the new measures. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) signed the reforms into law in March, marking a significant victory for the Democrats who controlled the state legislature.

Months later, Giron finds herself the target of a recall election on Sept. 10, along with fellow Democrat and Senate president John Morse -- an effort orchestrated by local gun rights advocates and backed by the National Rifle Association. The stakes are especially high, Giron told The Huffington Post, and may shape the national debate on gun policy stirred by December's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

"If they are able to take down both a Senate president and a strong labor representative … they really do believe it would send reverberating messages to legislatures across the country," Giron said in a phone interview.

Giron said the recall involves more than retaliation for her support of stricter gun laws. She drew the ire of conservatives by supporting a bill that would require electric cooperatives to double renewable energy standards and by backing legislation that granted in-state college tuition to students who are undocumented immigrants. Groups and individuals opposed to those measures have joined the gun lobby to oust Giron and Morse from office.

"As I look at the money that's being spent on this recall, both in mine and President John Morse, where you have Koch brothers spending money in here … I think it's a lot about Democrats vs. Republicans, and has grown very partisan," Giron said.

The recall election has been blasted by some Democrats as a waste of taxpayer money, with an estimated cost of $500 million. Giron already faced reelection in 2014. The gun lobby nonetheless has vowed political retribution for any lawmaker who voted in favor of Colorado's anti-gun violence package, and pounced as Giron faced backlash over her vote.

During Colorado's gun debate, the general manager of the Pueblo Chieftain, Giron's hometown newspaper, wrote to her opposing the gun control measures, identifying himself as a gun owner who is "responsible for the entire newspaper, including the newsroom."

"They reign here in Pueblo," Giron said of the newspaper's influence in her district. "The new general manager sends me an email while we're debating the legislation, and he says, 'I want you to know that I'm not only in charge of the newspaper but every piece of news that goes out, and I don't like these gun laws, and I don't want you to vote for them.'"

After Giron voted for the bills, she said, she was the subject of negative stories on the front page of the newspaper each day for more than a week. Morse told The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC in March that the paper targeted Giron with "pictures that weren't very flattering, almost deliberately."

Giron said she voted on behalf of her constituents after holding town hall meetings and other discussions with members from both sides of the debate. Through these conversations, she saw not just the effect Newtown had on families in her district, but of last year's mass shooting in Aurora. When a gunman walked into a late-night show at a movie theater on July 20, 2012, killing 12 and injuring 70 others, it marked a turning point for Colorado, Giron said, as it grappled with the second mass shooting in recent history.

The parents of Alex Sullivan, a young man killed in the Aurora shooting while celebrating his 27th birthday, were among those who visited Giron as she considered how to vote.

"I identified with them," Giron said. "I have a 30-year-old daughter. She could have been there."

"It's not just about these national tragedies but about gun violence every single day," she added.

One constituent told Giron she witnessed her teenage brother kill himself with a gun he acquired despite his depression. Another young woman Giron met with told the senator she escaped an abusive relationship after her boyfriend threatened her and "had guns laying across the room."

"He told her, 'If you think about leaving me, you won't make it out alive,'" Giron said.

Giron said she entered the Senate with a focus on women's issues and minorities. But she began to see the gun issue from a different light.

"Now I will forever be labeled with this whole gun issue, and I'm fine with that, because when you think about gun violence, the communities who are disproportionately affected are women and children and people of color," she said.

Giron has also picked up key endorsements in the recall fight from Colorado Lt. Gov Joe Garcia and from EMILY's List, the group that helps elect Democratic women to office and has formidable resources for women in politics.

"Angela Giron has been a fierce advocate for families -- fighting to increase funding for education, expand high-quality health care coverage, and build youth development programs," said EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock in a statement. "But now Republicans are trying to kick her out of the Colorado Senate for listening to the people of Colorado instead of special interest groups."

A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday found strong support for Giron, with 52 percent of Colorado voters saying she should remain in office. Although respondents were split down the middle on the 15-round magazine limit, 82 percent said they favored requiring background checks for gun buyers.

Giron was optimistic that her record will speak for itself. Twenty-one of the 26 bills she introduced this session were passed, according to her campaign website.

"I think it's without a doubt that we're going to make it through this … and hopefully it does send a message to the gun lobby that has held a lot of legislation hostage, so that people can feel free to be able to do what they know is right," Giron said. "We are going to be making some history here." Reported by Huffington Post 2 days ago.

Gun fight in Colorado: the NRA rides in, as children duck-and-cover | Dawn DiPrince

The pro-gun lobby is funding an ugly backlash campaign after Colorado lawmakers passed tough gun control measures

Last spring, my children – in grades kindergarten through seventh – spent part of their school day hunkered behind a school table while an adult pretending to be an "active shooter" knocked on the door.

I don't know what is more absurd about this scenario: that a particle-board table top would protect my child from automatic gun fire; that an "active shooter" would knock on the door; or that my five-year-old son would now throw around phrases like "active shooter" in normal conversation.

This school activity was, of course, a response to the slaughter of Sandy Hook elementary school kids in Newtown, Connecticut. I also live in Colorado – home to the mass shootings at Columbine High School and, more recently, at an Aurora movie theater. The potential for gun violence in seemingly safe places is very real.

But, as usual in America, we prefer to place the burden for our larger-than-life problems on the backs of those with the least power. Think about Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign, based on the idea that we could eradicate the drug problem if only kids just showed a little more willpower against peer pressure. It is also our response to obesity. We lecture children about making wise food choices and getting more exercise, when both of these things are largely out of their control – especially when we have policies that cut school recess and that subsidize food in school lunches that makes kids fat.

And, now, our schools respond to the issue of gun violence – not by asking for better policies that would make schools safer – but by asking kids to crouch down and keep themselves safe. It is, of course, easier to ask schools to practice duck-and-cover drills than it is for elected leaders to enact policies that will surely do more to protect our children than a school table used as a shield.

In Colorado, at least, we are lucky. We have a state legislature that defied prevailing political perception and demonstrated courage in the face of the National Rifle Association (NRA), whose grassroots facade is in reality funded by millions from the gun industry. This summer, with the overwhelming support of most Coloradoans, our state enacted a number of measures – including background checks, high-capacity magazine limits, and restricting domestic violence offenders from purchasing guns – all designed to quell gun violence.

Even with the back of a majority of public support, the legislation was remarkable because gun control laws have long been considered political impossibles in the face of the pervasive big money power of the NRA.

Unfortunately, this kind of political nerve has not been without adverse consequence. My local senator, Angela Giron, and the state senate president, John Morse, are embroiled in ugly recall attempts, as pro-gun advocates attempt to make examples of legislators who mess with the gun rights lobby.

When you combine our state history of Columbine and Aurora with our rural roots and generational hunting traditions, Colorado offers a microcosm through which to view the larger gun control battle. Despite the NRA's ability to shut down federal gun measures, Colorado legislation demonstrates that the gun lobby can be beaten. And as Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has pointed out after the Sandy Hook shootings, the NRA's invincibility is more mythology than fact. He has highlighted the fact that 13 out of 16 NRA-funded US Senate candidates lost their races in 2012.

Right now, my own community – a Democratic-leaning labor town that also has a long agricultural history and deep gun ownership roots – has become a hotly-contested battleground in the staging of this national fight. The politically charged local landscape has attracted national money, including funds variously from Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the NRA, and the Koch Brothers.

Direct funding from the gun industry is also entangled in the recall effort: a recent "Farewell to Arms" event raised money for the campaign against Giron and Morse. At the same event, Magpul Industries, a Colorado-based arms manufacturer, which has announced it is relocating to a more gun-friendly state, donated 20,000 high-capacity magazines to gun enthusiasts before the enactment of the new gun laws – essentially flooding Colorado with soon-to-be-illegal magazines to pre-empt the new regulations.

But the tide may be turning. In a revealing example of the NRA's shrinking political cred, the local faces of the recall effort have repeatedly distanced themselves from the NRA and other outside funding – even amid a blizzard of NRA-funded mailers and ads.

The recall results on 10 September will be about more than the electoral fate of these two senators. It will speak to the kind of country we want America to be, and will signal the future political power of the NRA. Do we value the right to have high-capacity magazines more than the rights of children to be safe when they go to school? Will we allow the gun industry undue influence in our democratic process? And will NRA money be defeated in the American west?

I for one am eager to see the ugliness of this fight to leave my usually friendly community. But even more, I hope that we will unite on the side of our children and with our legislators' courageous leadership against corporate bullies. Reported by guardian.co.uk 21 hours ago.

New Aurora Colorado Miracle Method Franchise Ready to Transform Tubs, Tile and Countertops

When starting his own business, Milton Seabolt had a number of items to consider. He was looking for a business that would use his previous 20+ years of experience in residential and commercial construction, his desire to work with an existing and reputable company, and doing something that he both enjoyed and believed in.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 26, 2013

He’s confident that Miracle Method is providing him the opportunity he desired. What intrigued Milton about owning a Miracle Method franchise was how his, “understanding of the residential and commercial building industry made Miracle Method a great fit.” In addition to that, Milton said, “the support I knew I would receive from the corporate office and the testimonies from numerous franchisees validated that becoming a Miracle Method franchise owner was the right decision for our family.”

Milton brings an excellent perspective to why his customers should use Miracle Method to transform their kitchens and baths instead of incurring the costs and issues that come with replacement. “I know a lot about the headaches of replacement. Nearly 50% of the time when you take on a remodeling project, due to unseen factors, it becomes necessary to do more than what you assume from simply looking at the surface of the project.” He added, “When you start tearing things out, there can be all kinds of problems from plumbing issues to making sure that everything is up to today’s building codes. While you try to give your best estimation of time and cost, inevitably something unforeseen happens and ultimately it cost your customer more of both.”

Miracle Method is not a new concept to Aurora residents. “Current Miracle Method franchises have close to 15 years of experience servicing the Aurora and Denver markets. I am confident we will continue to make tubs, tile, and countertops beautiful again for the residents of the area.”

Last year, a record number of Miracle Method franchises passed the million-dollar sales mark, and sales in the first half of this year indicate that 2013 will be another record sales year.

With over 1 million satisfied customers since 1979, a proprietary refinishing process, and 131 franchises nationwide, Miracle Method is the recognized leader in surface refinishing.

The Miracle Method business model is what sets them apart from the competition, and they strive to offer not only the best technical training to their franchise owners, but also ongoing administrative, technical sales and marketing support that is second to none.

Contact them today at 800-444-8827 or visit miraclemethod.com/franchise-opportunity.php to learn more about a Miracle Method franchise opportunity in your area. Reported by PRWeb 17 hours ago.
