Discussion in 'Macworld San Francisco 2008' started by Mr.PS, Jan 15, 2008.
Is there still a chance that we might see a new Cinema Display before the 18th?
dream on (me too)
I was hopeing.
Maybe around WWDC...2009
I have been waiting for a major upgrade to the cinema displays since I got my laptop in June 2006 - since waiting like the rest of you.
I wonder if eventually the iMac will be thinner than the current cinema displays, then they will have to upgrade.
To be honest, it doesn't need to be a major upgrade, take the price down by a third and half the thickness of the screen and I would be happy.
One day my friends...one day
Yeah I was holding off on an ACD. When's the next big Apple gig where Jobs does a similar keynote?
One of the other rumor sites (AppleInsider I think) is speculating that there is a secret announcement to be made today by Steve at the Final Cut Pro meeting.
Sounds like wishful thinking to me
I have to say that my loyalty to Apple dropped a bit. Mac Pro really tested my patience and the update was definately worth it but why in the hell did they not update ACDs to go with it? I really hope they will do silent update this week so I can buy my MP+ACD and forget Apple for few months (until I have money for a notebook)
It will be this year. Most likely WWDC, along with a new refreshed, redesigned Nehalem Mac Pro (no kidding, another one will be out then). Don't listen to the others. I think Apple is holding off till this date.
Well, if they don't release in January then I hope you are right. There is nothing worse than buying something and 1 month later Apple updates it. If ACD gets update at the end of the year with Nehalem (don't expect Nehalem sooner) then I will be more than happy with my february purchase.
too bad about the lack of acd updates. i'm not ready to buy one myself, but a friend i work with was buying a new setup for herself, so I told her of the upcoming mac pro refresh and possible acds, but i just told her this morning to go ahead and head up to NH to get a tax free MP (she also gets edu because she takes a few classes every year). In good news she's buying a HP 30" monitor from IT at work for $900. She also claims that ebay has some HP 30"ers for $900 shipped, but i try to stay away from the fleabay these days. Still, it was tough to tell her to pay $800 for a 23" when she could get a 30" for $100 more. The HP is ugly, but she's a designer with a rather picky eye and she used it all day yesterday to test it and just loved the actual screen.
Just out of curiosity, what do you want a new Cinema Display for, exactly, that the current ones aren't doing?
Reason I ask is because you seem pretty eager about it, but haven't really clarified your need.
built in isight & ir receiver
& i'm sure folks want faster reaction time better graphics capabilities
& somewhere, someone wants it glossy
If they had them, and consequently added probably $100 or more to the price of the display, would you actually commit to buying one... today?
Possibly, but that's a limitation on LCD tech in general which will get better with time, but Apple LCD's at present are probably among the best computer LCD displays available. I don't know what else you'd do until the tech itself improves... except to say this: Those who are really serious about color, clarity and contrast should stick to CRT's for the time being. Nothing beats a Trinitron in this arena.
Probably... but the greater likelihood is that graphic designers who tend to buy the higher end Apple LCD's don't. Matte displays are far better for accurate color and contrast. Glossy displays falsely enrich the image, which is a problem if you're trying to maintain a color match from prepress to proof.
Actually, I have been looking for a new monitor and was really hoping that the ACDs would be updated. At the very least, their price is almost twice that of a similar display from practically everyone else. Granted, they have a nicer design, but a 6ms refresh time is pretty slow these days.
I just bought a Mac Pro and really would love the remote/iSight to go with it. Since they have discontinued the actual iSight, I would have to buy a new laptop just to get one! That's just unreasonable.
The current ones are old tech - the panel hasn't been updated since March 2006. I want what we all want. Built in isight, updated display, and more connections.
I most certainty would, I would order right now. Even if the display was $2500 I'd order it. The Dell 3008WPF is $2000... Money isn't the issue, it's the lack of updates. Sure the current ACD's are great, but they're OLD TECH and no body will pay full price for that. I want the newest and the best when I buy something.
(wrong place, please delete)
i'd like thinner ones. and more connections.
Well, having had iMacs for the last few years the glossy screen is pushing me to a Mac Pro. I'm ready for the ACD 30" but am very concerned by the threads on the Apple Discussion lists about the "dancing pixels" etc (2.5 years and growing). It almost seems like there are no good ACD 30's out there.
I was hoping a product refresh would give Apple a chance to solve the bugs without having to admit there is a problem (at the moment they seem to be in denial)
I would have welcomed a built-in iSight. The original iSight stressed how much better it was than the competition (better fps, better contrast, better reaction to lo-light), seems like Apple has given up on pro users who want to video conference without extra cables and attachments sprouting out of an elegant aluminium bezel :-(
As a designer, i'm drawn to the colour reviews for the ACD 30 (swop LUT etc) but am nervous laying down GBP1199. Seems like some folks are on their 3rd dislay and are still unhappy.
I might hang on to see if there are any reports of the Geforce 8800 "curing" the problem before I dive in
I ordered my MP yesterday with the 30" ACD. I figured it might have been a godsend that the ACDs weren't updated at Macworld. What if they were all glossy? What a nightmare that would be.
it's not that ugly, and the screen is truly something to behold.
I don't think you need to worry about that. Serious image editors would never use a glossy screen.
That would never happen...
Hardly. The panel is a S-IPS LG.Philips LM230W02 (for the 23"). This is probably the very best panel you can buy anywhere for a 23/24". The displays you are talking about aren't similar displays at all - they are inferior PVA or TN types. Hence, the price. Faster response times (for gamers) don't appear in S-IPS panels - only in cheaper TN types.
A comparable display is the NEC LCD2490WUXi which you won't find for under about $1100. The ACD 23" is in fact for the quality of the display good value. The main problem with it is the lack of inputs and the 1 year-guarantee.
The only change that Apple could make to the 23" is to things like the inputs (which personally I would like to see) because there is no better panel. Of course they could change to a 24" but this is not a better panel. Just a slightly larger one.
One legit worry is if you buy the 23" now, and Apple changes to a 24" then buying a second panel will be a problem.

Armed conflict is particularly destructive to socio-legal relations regarding land and property. Reconstruction priorities increasingly include the reform of property legislation as part of efforts to address the causes and reasons for continuation of conflicts. However, a pervasive problem is that postwar laws are extremely difficult to connect with informal on-the-ground developments regarding perceptions of spatially-based rights as populations pursue livelihoods, grievances and aspirations. Left unattended, the problem constitutes a potential flashpoint for a return to conflict. This article examines this connection for postwar Sierra Leone, in order to highlight issues and questions of potential utility. The stakes are high for successfully connecting postwar land tenure laws with informal socio-legal realities. For Sierra Leone, a primary issue is the presence of a large population without access to land, tenure insecurity discouraging investment, large-scale food insecurity and rural unemployment while significant swathes of arable and previously cultivated land stands idle.

Here is the last review from the Left Hand Brewing's Mountain Mixer pack. Today it's their Left Hand Deep Cover Brown Ale. I think the name of this beer is referring to the fact that this beer is trying to disguise itself as a brown ale. I'll explain in a bit. I am a fan of brown ales and they are generally dark and rich and nutty.
This beer pours a reddish brown but is very clear. Almost too red for it's own good. Would this beer actually be better classified as an Amber Ale? Perhaps. The brew registers at a mere 4.4% ABV and with only 20 IBUs. So it's low alcohol and not very hoppy. The brew poured without much of a head build up like other malty beers would. It had a very small light tan head with just a little bead.
I swirled this beer in the glass to get out the aroma. This beer is only hopped with just one type of flower - US Goldings hops. It has a nice aroma, lightly floral and with a hint of citrus smell. Not as noticeable as Cascade hops however.
The first sip reminded me of a light beer. Not what I'd expect from a brown ale. I could taste a bit of nuttiness in the brew but not much. Even the chocolate malt that was mixed in didn't leave much of a trace. This beer was made with Premium Pale 2-row, some Crystal, some Munich and a dash of Brown and Chocolate malts. I think they probably should have added a bit more of the darker malts as the "brown" turned into more of a light amber brew. The beer was smooth enough to drink and it left just a slight tingle on the middle front of the tongue which lingered well after the beer was gone. Not to say this beer coated my tongue, it didn't, but it left a little lingering feel.
One thing about a few of the Left Hand beers that I noticed is that after a few minutes, the hop aroma all but goes away. I was left wishing that the original just opened smell would have stuck around a bit longer. Still, overall I was modestly satisfied with this brew. Not my favorite brown, but good enough to drink again.
Ratebeer.com only gave this a 2.99/5 rating (43rd percentile) so I'm not alone in saying this is just an average brown. I've got 2 more of these in the case. Perhaps the next two will be a bit better.
Update: 12/2/2009 - Left Hand Brewing has announced that they will be discontinuing Deep Cover Brown Ale at the end of 2009. Coincidentally, Left Hand will be putting out their 400 Pound Monkey IPA as a new year round beer starting in January 2010.

Left Hand Deep Cover Brown Ale review
Here is the last review from the Left Hand Brewing's Mountain Mixer pack. Today it's their Left Hand Deep Cover Brown Ale. I think the name of this beer is referring to the fact that this beer is trying to disguise itself as a brown ale. I'll explain in a bit. I am a fan of brown ales and they are generally dark and rich and nutty.
Left Hand Sawtooth Ale review
Continuing on with the sampling of the Left Hand Brewing Mountain Mixer 12-pack, I was able to try out their Sawtooth Ale last night. This is the 3rd beer in the four beer style sampler series. This beer is listed as an American Style Extra Special Bitter or ESB. What's an ESB? Here's what Wikipedia says about bitters:
"Bitter belongs in the pale ale style grouping, though bitter does have a greater variety of strength, flavor and appearance than mainstream pale ale. A bitter can be dark amber, approaching a stout, or be very golden and delicate like a golden summer ale. It can also go under 3% ABV as with Boys Bitter and as high as 7% with some premium or strong bitters. During the early to mid 20th century there were some regional preferences noted which may still be detected in the beers of some of the more established breweries. In Cornwall, Wales, North England and Scotland the preference was for sweeter, less hopped beer. In other areas, particularly Southeast England, the preference was for hoppy beers.
British brewers have several loose names for variations in beer strength, such as IPA, best bitter, special bitter, extra special bitter, and premium bitter. There is no agreed and defined difference between an ordinary and a best bitter other than one particular brewery's best bitter will usually be stronger than its ordinary. And two groups of drinkers may mark differently the point at which a best bitter becomes a premium bitter. Hop levels will vary within each sub group, though there is a tendency for the hops in the session bitter group to be more noticeable.
The term bitter by itself is little used in the United States. The term pale ale or ESB is more commonly used. Where bitter is used it indicates a pale ale of lower alcohol content brewed in a less hop-focused style than typical American pale ales. American bitters often use British varieties of hops."
So in a nutshell, it's generally a lower alcohol and uses certain types of hops to get it's flavor. As for the Sawtooth Ale, this one comes in at 4.8% ABV and an IBU rating of 27. Because it went at or above the 4.8% ABV mark, it "qualifies" as an ESB. Left Hand Brewing lists the following malts in this beer: Premium 2-row, Crystal, Munich and their own Left Hand Custom Malt. (ooo a secret!) The hop selection consisted of 4 different types: Magnum, US Goldings, Fuggles and Cascade. I can always pick out the Cascase in the aroma.
Appearance: This beer poured a very red, almost orange color and had a moderate light tan head. The beer was very clear with no sediment at all. I tried to take 4 to 5 pictures of this beer just after I poured it into the glass but all of the shots turned out blurry. Apparently this beer didn't like it's picture taken. I finally got a sharper image only after I had drank about half of this beer. I let the beer air out a bit before sampling. The first aroma of this beer was was wonderful aroma. I was pleasantly surprised! It had a light citrusy smell and was did not have any off-aromas. All too often a beer will lose points with me right away if the aroma is just not right. This beer almost smelled like a New Belgium style beer at first.
Taste: The taste was nice and smooth on the palate that gave a slight tingle to the tongue that I can't quite describe, almost with herbal overtones. A few seconds after swallowing I was hit with a mild bitter after effect that was ever so slight. Some beers leave a very noticeable after taste but the one from this one was actually a nice affect. Left Hand calls this a "session" beer and I'd have to agree. It goes down easy and isn't strong and I could definitely see myself having more than one of these in a sitting.
Overall: While ESB's are fairly new to my palate, I'd say this one convinced me that I should try more of this style. My initial reaction was to score this lower than some of the porters I'm biased toward, but to be fair, I ended up raising my score after finishing this beer. I'm going to give this beer a 3.4 out of 5 rating and a raised glass to boot. Left Hand came up with a classic - I can see why this is their flagship beer. That leaves just one other Left Hand beer to sample next and it's a brown ale. More to come.

Colorado Wants to Change It's Liquor Laws
I saw the following article out on the Rocky Mountain News web site. The article explains that there are some new pieces of legislation being introduced in the Colorado state capitol that wishes to overturn the long standing blue laws that prohibits the sale of liquor on Sundays in Colorado.
Now how many times have you run out of your favorite beer on a Sunday only to realize that you can't stock up until Monday? For me, it's happened a lot. I typically buy my beer on weekends (Friday and Saturday) and often wish that I could pick some additional beer up on Sunday, especially when I got too busy during the rest of the week to stock up.
It's been 75 years this month since prohibition was repealed and these outdated blue laws have been in effect. I say it's time to take these laws off the books and let the liquor stores open up on Sundays. This would help local mom and pop liquor shops get more sales and help satisfy their customers more with more convenient weekend hours.
There's even more legislation in the works to allow certain stores to sell more than just 3.2 beer and wine coolers. In addition, another bill may target the old laws that forbid liquor stores from selling food and from allowing a single person to hold more than 1 liquor store license.
It's time to make some changes Colorado. I'm hoping that Governor Ritter will see the light and let us buy beer and liquor on Sundays. (Read the Rocky article for more info).

Left Hand Polestar Pilsner review
As an astronomy buff, I gotta like the label on this beer - two people looking at the Little Dipper and the North Star. Today's brew review is another from the Mountain Mixer from Left Hand Brewing of Longmont, Colorado - their Polestar Pilsner. This is a German style pilsner and is described as the "hardest beer to make" according to Left Hand.
This beer pours a very light golden color and raised a very big white head and a decent bead. There was a great clingy white lacing that remained on the glass for a long time. The beer has great clarity too.
Here are the specs on this beer: They used Weyermann Pilsner Malt exclusively along with Perle, Vanguard and Czech Saaz hops. It's the Perle hops that gave this beer that citrusy / grassy smell in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I like pilsners, just don't make it smell like a wheat beer.
Appearance and Aroma: Upon first smell I was immediately reminded of another beer I sampled a few months earlier. This smelled a lot like a wheat beer I just had! I cross checked the hops used in this beer and one of them matched the one in the wheat beer, so perhaps the hops were throwing me off. The beer has a citrusy, almost grassy aroma. Despite the initial smell I withheld judgment until the tasting.
Taste: The taste of Polestar Pilsner was an almost 180 degree turn in the right direction. This beer was a nice light refreshing brew that tasted much better than it smelled. It had a classic pilsner taste with a little extra that macro versions lack entirely.
Overall: I enjoyed drinking this beer as long as I didn't breathe deeply from the glass before I sipped it. The beers scored a 5.0% on the ABV scale and a moderate 33 IBUs. So it's not too weak yet a bit hoppier than most pilsners. Despite it's good taste, the aroma was enough to lower this beer on my ratings. While I would probably drink this beer again if offered it, it barely passes the buy again test. I'll give this a 2.9 out of 5 rating.
If you like German style pilsners then you'll probably like this beer. Ratebeer.com gave this beer a 34th percentile and a 2.88/5 rating. Not that great. Most other ratings were somewhat similar to mine and they forgave the aroma. Sure, I may have given too much emphasis on aroma, but for me, a beer needs the complete experience to score a decent rating from me.

Left Hand Milk Stout review
Today is a two brew review day as I had a nice big 12-pack sampler of beers from Left Hand Brewing Company from Longmont, Colorado staring me in the face and I just have to have one more beer today. Left Hand Brewing offered up a 12-bottle Mountain Mixer and provided four different beers to sample and enjoy. Seeing how I am a fan of the dark side of brewing, I first chose to taste their Left Hand Milk Stout. I've tried a few dark stouts in my day including Guinness but had never had a milk stout. But what in the world is a milk stout you say? Does it include actual milk? No. Not a drop of cow juice was mixed into this dark beer, but rather the brew was primed with a milk sugar which helps balance the roastiness of this stout beer.
This beer poured almost black. While it isn't thick by any means, this beer is as dark as they come. As pictured above, this beer pours with a rich thick head that actually went slightly over the top of my glass when poured. The foam lingered on the side of the glass as it settled and left just a small tiny bead. Immediately you could smell a rich roasty, coffee and chocolate like aroma with a slightly different hop smell. This Left Hand brew uses Magnum and US Goldings hops, a much different smell than your typical Cascade that was in my last beer. Here, the malts are definitely the main feature here. This stout comes in at an ABV of 5.2% with an IBU of only 22. Left Hand uses a variety of malts including: Premium Pale 2-row, Munich, Crystal, Roast Barley, Flaked Oats, Flaked Barley and Chocolate malts. Wow - now that's a line up of malt!
This beer had a very rich malty taste with a true roastiness to it that stayed on the middle of my tongue throughout the session. Nice, and not chalky but borderline so. If you love coffee roast, you'll love this beer. I love the smell of good coffee but prefer not to drink that bean. But this beer is very smooth without the harshness and acidity of coffee.
There was a slightly different taste to this as well due to the lactose sugar that was used in this brew. This is what helps distinguish this beer from other stout styles. A slightly sweet character in a roasty environment.
This is the first beer from Left Hand Brewing Company that I've had the opportunity to sample. So far so good. I have a Brown, and Pilsner and their flagship Ale to sample next and am looking forward to it. I'll give this milk stout a decent 3.5 out of 5 rating. Definitely worth a try.

Avery Ellie's Brown Ale review
Today's beer review comes from Avery Brewing Company of Boulder, Colorado and is named after one of the brewer's favorite pets. I present to you a review of Avery Ellie's Brown Ale.
Upon first pour, I saw a very dark brown, almost dark red in color when held to the light. There was a nice light tan head to this beer. The smell of this beer seemed somewhat sweet. I could really pick out the Cascade hops in this beer right away.
Avery brewed this beer with 3 different hops: Cascade, Bullion and Fuggles hops, but it appears that they go very sparingly with those hops as the IBU measurement is only at 17. That's fine, I'm not currently a big hop person, but I'd like to see a bit more hoppiness in my browns than this.
The first taste was of the caramel and chocolate malt. Avery didn't go overboard with the malts and was noticeably lighter in taste than a porter. As a brown ale, this fits the bill nicely and reminds me of some of the other tasty brown ales I've sampled before. Still, I felt that this brown was not as outstanding as I've had before.
While Ratebeer.com gave Ellie's Brown Ale an average score, I too would have to agree that this is an average brown. I'd like to see a bit more taste and a bit more bitterness from this. Browns by nature are sweet but are usually balanced by the right amount of hops. While this beer is slightly more alcoholic than a session beer, I'd probably classify this as a session brown beer. I could drink a few of these easily as I love browns.
Avery mixed together a blend of two-row, chocolate, Munich 10L and Caramel 120L malts into their brew. I can see why many would love this beer. It even won a Bronze in the 2005 Great American Beer Festival. I'm going to give this beer a rating of 3.3 out of 5 and keep it in mind for another try later on. I've got 5 more bottles in my six pack and should be able to evaluate it further later this week. Good brew Avery! It's one I'd buy again.

Colorado's Oskar Blues Brewery Expands
Chalk up another expansion for a Colorado Brewer. As 2008 has ushered in, so will soon a new era for the Lyons Colorado Oskar Blues Brewery. Business has been so good over their 5-year history that the now famous craft beer in a can maker has got to expand. Already during this last year, the small mountain town brewer has come out with their 4th beer (Ten FIDY Imperial Stout) in their line of hand canned facility / restaurant and a new 35,000 square foot facility will be added in nearby Longmont, Colorado to help with the growing demand for their beer. I've personally visited Oskar Blues 2 years ago and tried one of their fresh brews on tap (One Nut Brown Ale) along with some yummy food. I plan on reviewing some of their canned craft beers in the near future. I look forward to seeing even more innovative brews from them in the future. Production at the new facility should begin in March 2008.
For more information, read the recent news release covered by Beer Advocate.
Update: The expanded brewery is now open. Read more here.

Denver Celebrates Winter Brew Fest
Beer is still quite the drawing factor in Colorado as Denver is hosting yet another beer festival tonight, January 25th, 2008. The "Winter Brew Fest" is hosting 17 of Colorado's finest brewers' beers (over 40 different beers) at the Oriental Theater on West 44th Avenue in the Mile High city. The event will run from 7pm to 10pm and tickets are supposedly already sold out.
People without tickets may still be able to join in the fun as they will be letting people in on a 1-out 1-in basis. This event will benefit the Colorado Environmental Coalition. All who get there early will also receive a commemorative drinking glass to sample their brews with. Tickets are $30 at the door if there is still room.
There will be live music there as well by Danny Vegas and Classic Movies, followed by the headliner: THE REALS! As this event has always been popular it may need to grow into a larger venue next year. Let's hope so.

New Belgium La Folie review
Holy Sour Power! I tried New Belgium La Folie at the New Belgium Brewing Company tap room in Fort Collins, Colorado a few months ago along with 3 other samplers of their ales. This was the ale I had been hearing about and wanted to give it an honest review. And what better way to try it then on a free tasting session!
La Folie was my first ever sour ale and I was warned by the New Belgium staff there that you will either love it or hate it - so be prepared. This stuff was served from a tap in their tasting room but was also available in hand numbered large green bottles.
My first sip from the tap was WOAH - that was sour! My mouth puckered. La Folie was both sweet and sour yet has a somewhat vinegary taste to it. This stuff woke up my sleepy mouth. I wasn't sure about this beer after it first hit my tongue. After a 2nd and 3rd sip, however, I had gotten used to the tartness and felt compelled to finish the glass. It was a taste that very slowly grew on me and I had to get through my initial instincts to put it down.
I liked it well enough to buy a bottle and take it to Cincinnati to share with some co-workers / beer geeks there. Word of warning, If you transport this stuff by airline and open it in a much lower altitude be warned - this stuff can explode once uncorked!
I lost over 1/2 the bottle in a geyser when it opened in my Cincinnati hotel room. There was sour ale everywhere! The entire room smelled of sour funk. Needless to say, my friends had never tried a sour beer before either and they had a much stronger reaction to it than I did. After their first sips they didn't want more but simply said it was "interesting".
In the 750ml size, it was a tad pricey to buy a big bottle but if you enjoy sours beers and want to try something different - try this. It comes in 22oz bottles today and is a bit more reasonable. Watch out, prices can vary from $14 to $18.
If you are going to enjoy sour ale you must expand your beer palate and be willing to try a sour barrel aged beer with an open mind then you'll probably be able to acquire a taste for this popular style. I'll give this a 3.1 out of 5.0 rating, only because I wasn't used to a sour ale yet. This may change over time. (In fact, now I love this and would rate it much higher)
Update 4/23/2008: I tried another glass of La Folie on tap at the NBB tap room and boy have my tastes changed over the last six months. Now that I've had this a few times, it is simply wonderful when enjoyed in small quantities. A 4 oz sample size is just right to slowly sip and enjoy . I've upped my ranking to a 3.6 out of 5. La Folie has a nice unique character. This subsequent tasting was a lot less acidic / vinegary than the first.
Update 8/13/2009: In 2009, La Folie is now available in annual batches of Lips of Faith 22oz bomber bottles. I sampled another bottle and I must say this beer is now one of my all-time favorite sour beers. I paired it with Gouda cheese and crackers. Simply wonderful. The main picture has been updated above.

Full Sail Top Sail Imperial Porter review
Take me to your Imperial Leader! I think I'm becoming a porter lover, at least if you consider the past few beers I've reviewed. Last night I decided to try something new and different. I've had porters before but never an Imperial Porter until now.
I wanted to try a porter with a bit more kick to it. I settled on a Top Sail Imperial Porter from Full Sail Brewing out of Hood River, Oregon. I had never tried an imperial porter, much less an imperial anything. The Full Sail brand was also new to me. I normally drink local beers first as a rule, but on occasion I'll try another state's craft beer. The Full Sail web site indicates that their flagship brews are an amber, IPA and a Pale Ale, so this Imperial Porter was one of their Brewmaster Reserve 2007 specialty beers.
The label stated that this brew was 7.5% ABV so I assumed this was going to have a bit more kick than a regular porter. Apparently this was a limited run beer and once the beer is out of stock it won't be made again. Shame too. I did notice that they will be making a Top Sail Bourbon Imperial Porter later this year that has over 9.85% ABV. Perhaps I'll look for that soon and compare it with this one.
Appearance: This beer poured very dark brown, almost black with a very nice brown head. While this beer wasn't quite as high in alcohol content as the standard would indicate, I figured that by being a few % points higher in alcohol than regular porters that I'd feel it a bit more after drinking an entire 22 oz bottle.
Aroma: As I poured the beer into my trusty beer glass, I noticed a rich malty aroma that I've come to love with porters. It didn't have a very big hop smell but had just enough to indicate that there were some bitterness added. What I did smell was the rich malts.
Taste: The first few tastes were just what I expected from a good porter. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice smooth finish to it without any chalky after taste. This was a good porter.
By the end of the 22 oz bottle, I figured I'd feel it a bit more than I would have with a lower alcohol beer, but I didn't. The slightly higher alcohol content was not as strong as I would have thought. Probably a good thing too. I'd drink this beer again anytime. I'm going to give it a respectable 3.5 out of 5 rating. It pays to try new beers from other states. I'm now wanting to test out more of their beers. Cheers Full Sail!

Longer Wait for New Aspen Brewery
Back in October, I reported that a new brewery was being built in Aspen, Colorado. The opening day was supposed to have been in December. Unfortunately, construction delays have pushed back the opening until sometime in late January according to the Aspen Times on January 10th. Here is a transcript of the Aspen Times story:
Aspen Brewery opening delayed - Aspen Times - January 10, 2008
ASPEN — Beer lovers looking to wet their whistles at the new Aspen Brewery will have to wait a little longer.
The new brewery and tasting room, originally scheduled to open in mid-December, won't be open until at least the end of the month, said co-owner Duncan Clauss.
Delays in construction have delayed the grand opening by more than a month.
"We are working day and night to get the doors open," Clauss said.
Clauss expects to get the brewery's four fermenters operating next week, and it will take two weeks for the beer to be brewed. During that time, Clauss hopes to put the final touches on the interior of the building, located at 557 N. Mill St.
"Our brew system is in place but we don't want to rush it and serve bad beer," he said, adding four different brews will be available at the beginning. "We are very close. We are anxious as everybody to get it open."
Clauss, and his business partners, Rory Douthit and Brad Veltman, last fall signed a three-year lease in the 2,000-square-foot space owned by local attorneys Ron Garfield and Andy Hecht, as well as several other investors.
Aspen Brewery will operate with a manufacturing/wholesale license, meaning it doesn't follow state or city liquor laws, which forbids liquor sales at retail outlets on Sundays. The difference is that Aspen Brewery is manufacturing a product and selling it wholesale.
The license applies across the board, so whether a thirsty customer wants to sample beer at the brewery's tasting room or take some home in a growler (a beer-to-go glass bottle), they can do it seven days a week.
Commentary: I'm sure that the locals and skiers in Aspen can't bear to wait another few weeks to sample the 1st local brew the area has seen. I look forward to seeing what they plan to serve up when they open up. I've added them to the Colorado Breweries list.

4-Packs the Wave of the Future?
By now, most beer enthusiasts have heard about the current hop and malt shortage going on and how beer prices are going up in 2008. What you might not have noticed is a trend by craft brewers to "trick" you into not noticing the higher beer prices by putting out some of their brews in 4-packs instead of 6-packs.
While the standard may still be 6-packs, 12-packs and 24 (cases), there's going to be a growing trend to keep you trying and buying craft beers in smaller quantities - 4-packs.
Perhaps 4-packs are the way brewers are going to get you to try new brews without having to buy an entire 6-pack. Nothing is worse than trying out a new beer and having to invest in an entire 6-pack only to find out that you don't really like that beer and end up giving away or throwing away several bottles of beer you don't like. For us, the beer experimenters, we love nothing better than to try out as many different beers as possible.
Another reason for 4-packs is the fact that some specialty beers are quite expensive to make and to require consumers to buy an entire 6-pack might cost them over $20. Breaking it down to a 4-pack seems a bit easier on the wallet.
I for one like to buy sampler packs. These usually come in 12-packs. Samplers usually have between 3 to 6 different beers to try with 2 to 4 duplicates of each beer. Even with a 12-pack sampler if you didn't like several of the beers you still got stuck with all those extras. Well, now you can lower your risk and try out some 4-packs.
Here are two examples that I've seen come out this year.
Flying Dog Brewery has just announced their Canis Major 4-pack sampler of their Big Beers. Beers that are hoppier and higher in alcohol content. This 4-pack will have 1 each of their big beers: Kerberos Tripel, Gonzo Imperial Porter, Horn Dog Barley Wine and Double Dog Double Pale Ale. Not a bad little gimmick for getting you to try their brews without investing in a big 12 pack.
Another brewery who is putting out a 4-pack is the Boulder Beer Company with their Mojo Risin' Double IPA. This beer is going to be a bit pricier anyway since it's a limited release so why not cushion the blow to the wallet by putting them into 4-packs?
A couple other brewers putting their beers in 4-packs: Great Divide (Yeti Imperial Stout), Dogfish Head (90 Minute IPA and others), North Coast Brewing (Old Rasputin, Old Stock Ale). The trend seems to be more common with higher alcohol beers.
I'd hate to think that all craft breweries are going to start going this way to give the appearance that beer isn't going up in price. But let's face it. Our beer is going to cost us a bit more these days and probably will so for the next several of years. Hop crops can't keep up with demand and they can't be doubled in a year as it can take several years for new hop farmers to come on board with decent crop yields.
Then again, perhaps having more 4-packs out there will allow us beer lovers to try even more beers without having to invest a lot of green. I'll drink to that.

A study released last week that analyzed front-page stories related to the election, pieces that appeared in 38 of the nation's more prominent newspapers, concluded that 93 percent of these stories were written by non-Latino white reporters. It's not an altogether surprising statistic, given the well-documented challenges to diversifying newsrooms. But another figure from the study was striking: Non-Latino white journalists also wrote 95 percent of the stories that involved immigration.
Neither of these numbers surprises Dori J. Maynard, president of the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education (MIJE), which works with media organizations to promote diversity in hiring and coverage. There has always been an argument, a strong one, that any hardworking reporter should be able to cover any story. But there are stories being missed due to a dearth of diverse perspectives, Maynard argues, not to mention critical nuances tied to culture and background, all of which ultimately make for better journalism.
There's also an issue of diversity within diversity: When people of color are hired to report on immigration, for example, they tend to be Latinos and/or Spanish speakers. And while there's an argument to be made that these reporters represent a majority of immigrants and their descendants in the United States, it also means there are good stories in other communities that are being overlooked, Maynard says. Here is her take.
M-A: The percentage of front-page political stories written by white reporters in this study – 93 percent – seems quite high. Is this representative of the general state of newsroom diversity? Does it tell us something else, perhaps that there is less diversity at a certain level in newsrooms?
Maynard: I think it is a combination. It shows us the state of diversity. We know at this point that print newsrooms are about 88 percent white. So print newsrooms are about 88 percent white, and we don't have enough people of color to write all those stories. But I also think there could be an argument that the plum assignments, like political reporting, are not going to the journalists of color. You could certain surmise that from the figures.
The difference it makes, I think, is profound. By only having one perspective looking at this race, we know we are missing things. For example, New America Media recently had a story that one in three Asian American voters is undecided. This is an election that everyone says comes down to a ground game, and the undecideds. We've had forums and coverage of undecideds, but how many times have you had Asian American voters included in that discussion? Asian American voters can make a difference in three states – guess which three? (Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia.) So we see that we have one group of people covering the elections, and they are potentially missing stories about other groups of people.
We know about voter suppression in the African American and Latino communities. But there is also fear of voter suppression in the Asian American community and the Native American community. So there is a lot of nuance and issues that we are missing from this election, I think in think in part because we don't have enough points of view.
M-A: Perhaps the most interesting statistic, to me at least, was that 95 percent of the immigration-related stories were written by white reporters. What is your reaction to this?
Maynard: We have to talk about who is in the newsroom, so some of that is not going to be surprising. There again, we are going to miss some of the nuance, not because people are trying to do a bad job, but we can't help but see things that our shaped by our perspective. So we might not be asking the right questions. And we see this in the coverage.
We are not looking at the breadth of who is immigrating into this country. So we focus for the most part on Latino immigrants, and for the most part on people coming from Mexico. We are even missing the story that there is negative migration, that this is not the issue it once was. My father had this quote: "This country cannot be the country we want it to be if its story is only told by one group of citizens. Our goal is to give all Americans front door access to the truth."
Just to give you an example of what you can miss if you don't have a variety of people covering issues in your newsroom, and if you are not aware you may be missing things: When we worked with one newspaper that had a large immigrant community, we asked the reporters to go out and ask people in the community how they could better be covered. Essentially what they said is: Stop covering us from a middle class point of view. You see two families sharing a house and sharing a car and you keep calling us poor, and we see that we have a house and we have a car, and we are not poor.
You can see the discrepancy between the way people are covered and how they see themselves living their lives. I think it really is important to have diverse perspective in the newsroom about race, class and gender, and the ability among journalists in that room to talk honestly with each other.
M-A: But doesn't the notion that any good reporter can cover any story hold true here? In other words, how important, or not important, is it for reporters covering issues of immigration and race to be people of color?
Maynard: It is important, and it is important for a couple of reasons. All of us bring a little more nuance, a little more understanding from the communities from which we come. Of course, any good reporter should be able to cover any community. But we are seeing that we are not.
We are seeing after content audit after content audit that African Americans are mostly seen in stories about crime, sports, and entertainment. Latinos are seen in episodic coverage of immigration, and as we discussed earlier, Asian Americans and Native Americans rarely appear. It is almost as if they don't contribute to the daily fabric of our lives.
So clearly, we need to do a better job with this. Having people that bring in these communities can bring in perspectives. The other problem is that because these coverage patterns go so deep, and they are so entrenched, we really need to shake this up and rethink the way we are covering our fellow citizens.
M-A: When news organizations do hire immigration reporters, many of us tend to be Latinos and/or Spanish speakers. It can be argued that this represents the immigrant majority in the U.S. But should this be rethought?
Maynard: Yes, because there are other people who are coming from other countries. We don't even touch on immigrants from Africa. People are coming from Asia. And we don't want any one beat to be monolithic. The best stories come when you have a mix of people in the room who are looking at the news from a variety of angles and bringing in a variety of perspectives.
Institutionally, just like Latinos are covered through the lens of immigration, immigration is covered through the lens of Latinos. We need to widen that lens. Remember that there are a lot more stories out there. When I was living in Boston in the 1980s, the largest percentage of undocumented workers were Irish, but you would not know that. Our job is to give our fellow citizens an accurate picture of the world. It is incumbent upon us to take the steps so we are not giving them a distorted sliver of the world.
There are challenges, but the first challenge is going outside your network. The second challenge is that people are hired for diversity, but then you start working in the newsroom and you are told "That is not really a story." Also, we never asked white people to accurately and fairly cover white people, and there are issues around that. But we ask people of color, gays and lesbians, and sometimes women, "Can you cover your own community?" and that is another challenge that we face. We are reporters like everybody else. As you said, any reporter can cover any story. We all have race, and we all cover people who look like us.
M-A: What do you recommend that news organizations do? What discussions should be taking place?
Maynard: We have to have a conversation that first does allow that our race, our class, our gender and our geography do shape our perceptions. They shape our perceptions of ourselves, events, and each other.
And we need to be able to have those conversations openly and honestly in newsrooms so that when we are looking at stories, we see them from a variety of perspectives. The Trayvon Martin story was an example. Immigration is an example. This election is one of them.
I think that by making sure that we are having open conversations, then we can make sure our news coverage is reflecting a variety of these perceptions, and not getting locked into one which will not ring true with large segments of the audience.
I mean, sometimes when I look at the coverage of the African American community, I don't recognize it because it is crime, violence, and black men as predators. When it happens often enough with a publication, they lose credibility with me.
The data on who covers what was compiled by the The 4th Estate, a project of the media analysis company Global News Intelligence. It can be viewed here.

We understand how difficult it can be to understand the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing. They basically mean the same thing right? Not really. We know that completing your assignment is the most important thing right now. Both paraphrasing and summarizing work to get across the main point of another text but you have to present in your own original writing while making sense. But if you don't understand the main idea, it can be hard to put it into your own words. Our services can determine what works better for your article, paraphrasing vs summarizing and if you need both, that's okay too. Use our services if you need help with choosing paraphrase vs summary!
Summarizing vs Paraphrasing
But really, what's the difference between summary vs paraphrase? Well, when you paraphrase an article, you are taking someone else's ideas, condensing them and putting them into your own words. When you summarize an article, you are taking the most important parts from the text and then putting them on paper. Sounds like a lot of trouble right? Let us summarize and paraphrase for you! We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and don't use an electronic transcript. We never commit plagiarism and always provide 100% original work.
So your teacher has asked you to do both to the same article. Now, what are you going to do? You can either rack your brain all night trying to get the assignment finished or you can use our service. Don't let the summarizing paraphrasing polar ends tear you apart. Both are good tools to understand the original essay but if you can't dedicate the time, we understand. Just use our paraphrase and summarize services.
Our Professional Service Include
Summarizing Help
Summarizing involves taking the main ideas of an article, essay or report and rephrasing them. You condense the most important ideas of the source material and then express them in your own words giving the reader an overview of the original text.
Paraphrasing Help
Our professional writers are fully qualified to provide you with rewriting services that range from a sentence to an entire paper while avoiding any accusation of plagiarism. All of our 200 experts hold a relevant degree in their subject fields and have been involved with all forms of academic writing for over many years.
Editing Help
After all the effort you have done writing your document, whatever it is, you don't then need a careless error to let down your work and distract the reader from what has been written. Attention needs to be paid to your writing to give a good impression and keep the reader engaged.
Proofreading Help
Proofreading doesn't just involve casually looking over what's been written checking for spelling mistakes, it requires the ability to disconnect yourself from the content of the text in order to focus on finding spelling and grammatical errors, as well as checking that the correct language and layout has been used.
Contact the Summarizing and Paraphrasing Pros
Need a whole text paraphrased? No problem. Need an article summarized? We can handle it. No matter what kind of project you need, we are willing to work with you. We can work within specific guidelines and our results are guaranteed to please. We will produce quality results that you'll be happy to turn in. We are the best summarizing and paraphrasing service around.

Robin Gerber
Assistant Athletic Trainer
We have had a very positive response to our Fresh Healthy Vending machines as evidenced by the sales. When we are busy in the Athletic Center the machines are busy.
The machines are very reliable and if there is a problem Michael Bloome takes care of it before we even know there was a problem.
Michael communicates on a biweekly basis. His statements and checks arrive the same time every month. Never have to call him.
We decided to change to the Fresh Healthy system because it is in line with the direction the school is taking in terms of nutrition and it goes along with the schools Strategic Vision.
This has been a win/win situation for us and I would highly recommend these machines to anyone who is looking for this kind of product!
Graland Country Day School

Rosanne Malogolwkin,
Executive Director
La Cañada, CA
One of the best things that has happened to the YMCA-Cañada/Crescenta since we opened was having a Fresh Healthy Vending machine installed at our location.
We have had an overwhelmingly positive response from the kids, parents, and staff alike. It has been so popular that we have had to install a second machine recently.
The fresh, healthy products taste great and we've been provided with great service by our operator who is in here practically every few days filling up the machines.
The Future of Vending
Fresh Healthy Vending
on Fox News
Prime Outlets
San Marcos, TX
Tom Jenkins
We've just installed our fourth Healthy Vending machine this past week. We wanted to get our Fresh Healthy Vending machine installed in time for our big Spring Break retail period here at Prime Outlets.
The machines are vending from the time we open till the time we close. Many of our customers are sick of the junk food in a lot of our machines and have repeatedly asked us for healthier options! Many of our customers have commented positively on our healthy snacks and drinks and especially the mother's with children. I believe we will end up putting our fifth Healthy Vending machine in the mall by Summer 2010.
Middlesex YMCA
Patrick Connelly,
Senior Director
Middletown, CT
In the fall of 2010 we began to examine alternatives to the soda and snack vending machines that had been here at our YMCA for years. It was our goal to offer our members a convenient way to make healthier snack options and hopefully at the same time increase our vending revenue. Fresh Healthy Vending has succeeded on all counts.
Convenience & ease of operation: With a single phone call and a few emails we were on our way to hosting our new machines. The local franchise operator met with me in advance and since has been very responsive. The machines themselves are easy for members to operate and accept credit cards directly.
Healthier options: Our Fitness Director describes herself as a "health food nut" and she observes that the machine has the same products that are in her home. The variety of products is nice and there is something for everyone (not just the health food nut). My own 4-year-old son always wants to get something from the machine (even when I pack a snack) and there is always something that he likes and it's not junk.
Increase our vending revenue: Not only is the percentage of revenue share better than we were receiving with our previous machines, but our sales have increased. Our YMCA members are generally health seekers that are trying to make healthier choices and Fresh Healthy Vending has really resonated with them.
The YMCA has as one of its areas of focus "For Healthy Living." Fresh Healthy Vending is a simple way to move closer to putting that statement into practice.
Brea Community Center
Renee Talbot, Manager
Brea, California
Families are enjoying the Fresh Healthy Vending machine so much that we have to restock the machine every few days. Everyone that comes into our center is attracted to the machine. I have had many parents comment on how happy they are because we have given them and their families and opportunity to eat healthy foods.
We are encouraging healthy choices to all of our members, guests and employees. It is also part of the new Y logo mission.
Morristown Police
Michael Molner
President, PBA Local 43
The Morristown Police has recently been privileged to receive a Fresh Healthy Vending Machine at our Police headquarters and Town Hall. Our union had been looking into adding a snack machine to our lobby to offer food to our employees and visitors as well as gain some revenue for our union. I was fortunate to have been contacted by Fresh healthy Vending offering a healthy food option. This machine is amazing to say the least, by offering both food and beverages it saves space. Also the convenience of accepting credit and debit cards helps with sales. And the fact that the machine sends a report to the supplier when the product is running low ensures that we will always have snacks and beverages. It seems that everyday another employee is commenting on how great the machine is and how they enjoy the products.
Being a police officer, it is important to stay fit. By having fresh healthy foods to snack on instead of candy and high sugar, high fat foods it is a little bit easier to maintain our physical condition. I would recommend this machine and product to anyone and I hope that I see more of these machines replacing candy dispensers throughout the country. Thanks Fresh Healthy Vending!
Beaver Country Day School
Tim Parson, Director of Finance & Operations
Chestnut Hill, MA
Our first FHV machine, in our gym lobby, was a big success, so we recently added a second machine in our student lounge. Students, parents and staff have been drawn to the range of snacks and drinks, which are nutritionally better and more "upscale" than vending options previously offered. The machines work very well, taking debit and credit cards in addition to cash, and transmitting inventory data so products can be promptly re-stocked. Finally, all the FHV people that we have dealt with have been professional, friendly and helpful.
Aviara Oaks Middle School
Carlsbad, CA
We have had our machine up and running at Aviara Oaks Middle School for a couple of months now and have been very impressed with the quality of service, our students' response to the products, and the profit share that we receive. It is great to be able to supplement the food that our cafeteria offers with the alternative healthy snack choices. The machine is always clean and well tended. We are very happy with the program and highly recommend it to any schools looking to shift the eating habits in a healthier direction!
Albert Einstein Academies
David Sciaretta, Middle School Principal
San Diego, CA
We are not seeing the Cheetos, the soda, the energy drinks, those products we're trying to get rid of. We don't have to mandate that they not happen. This is really taken the place of those other products. This has been really successful for us, as well as the student body.
Keesler Air Force Base
Paula Strawn, Services Business

We all do sometimes forget the cumulative effect of calorie laden snacks over time.
Smart Snacks' proposal to try out a Healthy Vending approach made great sense to me, and actually fit in nicely with our command's general fitness goals.
Davis Athletic Club
Ryan Beede, Owner
Davis, CA
We introduced Healthy Vending at Davis Athletic Club and it has been enormously successful. Our club members love this machine and we want to add a second machine to be placed at our Club within the next 30 days. All health and fitness clubs in the U.S. should offer healthy vending in order to "practice what they preach!"
Billings Family YMCA
Tina Postel, CEO
Billings, MT
Our members like having alternatives to unhealthy soda and chips. Kids beg parents for anything out of the machine and this gives parents better options.
At the Billings Family YMCA we have strict standards for which foods qualify as fresh and healthy. Our franchisee was receptive to working with our YMCA dietician to establish clear guidelines for which items could and could not be sold in the machines.
One of our key areas of focus is Healthy Living. Healthy Living must include healthy eating habits in addition to exercise. Many of our families here at the YMCA have crazy, hectic schedules and often eat and snack on the go. A majority of quick snacks often include unnecessary sugars, saturated fats and artificial ingredients. We were happy to partner with Fresh Healthy Vending to provide better alternatives for those families on the go.

Madison Avenue is getting a makeover. Publicis Groupe and Omnicom Groupe are merging to form the world's largest advertising holding company, with annual revenue of about $23 billion. But where was PR?
The deal trims the former "Big Four" agency holding companies to three, and must pass regulatory muster in both the U.S. and Europe, where it might trigger skeptical scrutiny. The combined company will be called Publicis Omnicom Group and be jointly led by Omnicom CEO John Wren and Publicis CEO Maurice Levy as co-chief executives.
The deal may likely spark a new M&A wave in the media markets, as both ad agencies and PR shops look to gain more scale and compete head-on with digital-based companies, such as Amazon and Apple, and social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter. (This morning it was announced Padilla Spear Beardsley is acquiring CRT/tanaka in a deal that will reportedly make the two PR agencies one of the top independent PR companies in the U.S.)
Not mentioned in most media reports was the fact that Omnicom Group Inc., based in New York, owns the public-relations agencies Fleishman-Hillard, Ketchum and Porter Novelli, in addition to ad giants BBDO Worldwide and DDB Worldwide Communications Group, among other ad agencies. Paris-based Publicis Groupe SA owns PR shops MSLGroup and Kekst and Company, as well as its namesake agency, Burnett Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi and DigitasLBi.
That could be significant for PR professionals, noted Peppercomm co-founder (and PR News Advistory Board member) Steve Cody in a blog post this morning.
"PR wasn't even an afterthought," Cody said. "So, note to my peers at such legendary PR firms as MSL, FH, Ketchum and their various conflict brands: not only do you need to start thinking about your career paths, you should also start wondering about the importance of PR within your new, super-duper holding company."
With that and more in mind, here are a few lessons for PR managers and director to consider upon merging, compliments of Tim Reeves, a principal at a&g, whose previous agency Neiman, was acquired earlier this year by a&g.
▶ Act With Sincerity: Both parties need to have a genuine desire to merge and appreciate the differences between the two practices.
▶ Educate the New Team: PR and advertising are different crafts that need to be explained in a way "that's not paternalistic and is accepting of the fact that there needs to be two-way learning," Reeves said.
▶ Acknowledge the Changes: After a merger, be sure and tell clients and prospects about the new offering (whether it's advertising or PR), but don't upsell. "One of the best ways to inject a poison into your relationship with a client is to do a deal and then make them feel like your whole life work is now to have them buy the extra services you now offer," Reeves said.

Can you believe its already September? Although I believe it's far too hot to discuss the significance of flannel this season, Alice Temperley's uber-chic Target Go International line is just too cool to ignore any longer. The moody color palette has me down right giddy for a few of the menswear inspired pieces and feminine dresses. The separates look great too by themselves, so they could easily be coordinated with anything else in your closet. If you're loving/wanting everything like I do, the collection is set to hit stores September 16th, so I hope you haven't charged too much at Kohl's!

About Alejandra Laviada
Drawn to construction sites in her native Mexico City, Alejandra Laviada makes exquisitely composed color photographs, through which she conveys the raw beauty of demolition and urban renewal. In her early work, she found elegant compositions in partially demolished buildings, precisely framing their interior spaces with her camera. Later, as she explains, she decided to intervene: "I like the idea of working with each material very closely, getting dirty, interacting with the space in an active way and not simply documenting it." Laviada crafts Modernist-inspired sculptures out of construction detritus, which she photographs on site, producing images that read as hybrids of painting, sculpture, and photography. Her training in painting is evident in her finely balanced compositions, in which she transforms wooden and metal scraps and old furniture into studies of color and form, and poetic meditations on urban transformation.
Mexican, b. 1980, Mexico City, Mexico, based in Mexico City, Mexico

I'm a big believer in never buying anything you can make yourself and knitter's graph paper definitely falls into that category.
But first a quick explanation for the non-knitters. Sometimes a knitter will use graph paper to map out a design which will go into the knitting, either in a different colour or in a different stitch. However, ordinary graph paper just won't do for this, it's too symmetrical and knitted stitches are rarely symmetrical, usually stitches are wider than they are tall. Therefore knitter's graph paper is made of small rectangles which are wider than they are tall.
I've been looking around for some explanations of how to make the paper using an Excel spreadsheet, but they seem to be generically sized. So I thought about it for a little while and in the end this is how I made the graph paper for my project. It's really easy and you can do it to.
1. Knit a gauge swatch (you should always do this anyway, so it shouldn't be too much extra work)
2. Work out how many stitches and rows make 1″ square. Eg in my project 1″ square = 2.5 stitches by 3.5 rows
3. Divide these numbers by 10, just move that decimal point one space to the left. Eg 0.25 and 0.35
4. Open up an Excel or similar style spreadsheet.
5. Select the whole spreadsheet by pressing the button in the top left corner (just above 1 in the first column)
6. In the format menu go to row; height and enter the number derived from the stitches. Eg 0.25
7. In the format menu go to column; width and enter the number derived from the rows. Eg 0.35
8. You may need to divide these numbers further so that you can fit the right number of rectangles onto one sheet of paper, dividing by 2 will work well in those cases
9. Select the area of spreadsheet you need
10. Add borders to the selected area (usually a little square button on the toolbar)
11. Print
And there you are, knitter's graph paper with the correct ratios for your project.

Joe Biden, Paul Ryan out for blood in vice-presidential debate
DANVILLE, Ky.
It was billed as the "Thrill in the Ville" and Thursday night's vice-presidential showdown here proved explosive.
It wasn't so much a debate at first as it was a bloodbath over foreign policy and the economy.
A fiery Vice-President Joe Biden, tasked with halting momentum for the Republicans after Mitt Romney's win in last week's debate, stormed out of the gate looking for blood and interrupted Paul Ryan at every turn.
"With all due respect, that is a bunch of malarkey," Biden said when dismissing Ryan's claims that President Obama had made the U.S. look weak around the world. "Not a single thing he said is accurate."
He also grinned, and laughed off other Republican claims with condescending body language, but Ryan held his own and remained calm during the heated exchanges.
"I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we don't interrupt each other," Ryan said to Biden at one point.
Expectations for an explosive showdown at Centre College here were high heading into Thursday's one and only vice presidential debate in this campaign, given the shifting momentum in the election in favour of the Republicans.
And Biden, a political veteran of 40 years, avoided any major gaffes, something he is known for when speaking off the cuff.
While Ryan, an admitted "numbers guy," excelled at the economic questions, Biden showed his strength on foreign policy. (In Congress, he chaired the Senate's foreign affairs committee.) Thursday's debate at Centre College was the second vice presidential matchup held here in 12 years. In 2000, Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman debated here, too.
The Republicans were reportedly bracing for Biden to go at Ryan like a "cannonball," which he did, but Ryan held his ground and made a compelling case to replace Obama. To win in November, the Republicans must convince some of the President's former supporters to jump ship.
"Did they (the Obama administration) come in and inherit a tough situation? Absolutely," Ryan said early on in the debate. "But we're going in the wrong direction. … The economy is barely limping along."
"We face a very big choice – what kind of country are we going to be?," Ryan said in his closing statement. "President Obama had his chance and he made his choices."
Following the debate, both campaigns worked to spin the debate into a victory for their side, while flash polls taken of viewers just after the match-up hinted it was likely a draw.
Obama and Romney face off again next week in New York in a town-hall style debate, and again at the end of the month in Florida to talk about foreign policy.

Parker's 32 points lead Spurs past Raptors
Tony Parker scored 11 of his 32 points in two overtimes Sunday to lead the San Antonio Spurs to an 111-106 National Basketball Association victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Tim Duncan scored 26 points with six assists and five rebounds for the Spurs, who have won three straight games and improved to 11-3. Manu Ginobili chipped in 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
With less than 1min 15sec remaining in the second overtime, Parker connected on jump shots on back-to-back possessions to help seal the win.
Duncan's dunk with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first overtime had given San Antonio a 92-90 lead, but a foul by Parker gave Toronto the ball.
Parker grabbed the Raptors' inbounds pass from Jose Calderon and drove for a layup to stretch the Spurs' lead to 94-90 with 24 seconds on the clock.
Toronto responded with a three-pointer from Kyle Lowry, but Ginobili made two free throws to again stretch the Spurs' advantage.
The Raptors held on. Demar DeRozan's dunk closed the gap to 96-95 and after Gary Neal made one of two free throw for San Antonio DeRozan made a layup to knot the score at 97-97 and force the second overtime.
DeRozan led the Raptors with 29 points. Rookie Jonas Valanciunas had 22 and Lowry had 20.
But Toronto got little from Andrea Bargnani, who scored just four points on two-of-19 shooting.
"It was a hard fought game, anybody could've won it," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. "We played better in the overtime."

It is funny because I am definitely the kind of person who writes diaries, even now at age 25. I probably have some treasure in my parents house still. Too awkward to bring it up tho! (:ReplyDelete

Reading old diary entries can be really affirming as well- remembering the old way you used to think and knowing how far you've comeDelete
This paragraph you wrote is my favourite thing you've ever written. Journal sharing is such an intimate and soul-bearing thing, so I commend you on that. I only ever share journal entries of mine where it is my creative process and aesthetic documentation, never my feelings, and this is amazing.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing!
(っ♥◡♥)っ sonjatitanicReplies
Thanks Sonja, I think sharing even blurry photos or censored passages of journal entries is super personal and powerful too (like you can still see the handwriting and stuff)Delete
This really makes me feel inspired to start a daily diary (as apposed to scribbling things down on scraps of paper that inevitably get lost) this must be such a wonderful thing to be able to look back an reflect on.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's great! But I spent a lot of time writing text on my phone than transferring passages by hand so it's a process which can take up a lot of timeDelete
It's really cool and brave of you to share your journals online, and totally inspiring :)ReplyDelete
Thanks AnnikaDelete
It's so cool that you've written so much about this year!! I've tried several times to write down everything that happens on a daily basis, but it's tough!!! I'm going to try again thanks to this post.ReplyDeleteReplies
omg yes that's exactly how I feel when I see other people's journalsDelete
"The human experience is always an embarrassing debacle but there are rare moments of exceptional beauty. Not the stuff of art films but memories which crystallize in our minds and we will hold on to for decades to come. I take comfort knowing that people have extended such kindness and warmth to me in the past, and those moment are just as powerful as being told that I am loved. In those moments words are not needed, I feel it all around me and there can be nothing more perfect or powerful."ReplyDelete
That was beautiful, Adele
It's really interesting and can be a little bit surreal reading your old journal entries. Thank you for sharing yours

This is one of my favourite posts of yours! xReplyDelete
thanks Elizabeth :)Delete
This is such a lovely post, it's always interesting revisiting something so personal, like a journal, a while after you've written it; it feels a bit off, like delving into someone else's personal business, you forget that that person was (or is) you. It unearths feelings long buried and pulls out old ideas tucked into the deepest cracks of your mind.ReplyDelete
omg yes it's so weird to feel distant from a past self but to also realise, that's me! Couldn't have said it better myselfDelete

Maiden Year Over
Maiden Year Over
17 October 2014
The end of the season is a good time to review Royal London's first year of sponsoring one-day cricket.
You would be forgiven for asking "why cricket?", but the answer is simple. Cricket is a very British sport and Royal London is a very British company. What's more, both are happy to embrace change, so this season was a fruitful one, for the sport and for the sponsor. We were pleased to be part of re-introducing the 50-over format to county cricket, bringing it into line with the international game. Our sponsorship has also allowed us to support cricket in many formats – from international and county through to the grassroots, including several different age groups. We put our name to junior county cups, played in 40 counties, giving boys and girls the chance to compete from under 13s through to under 17s. We will soon be announcing details of our new grassroots programme, aimed at getting even more children involved in cricket up and down the country over the next three years.
The changes didn't stop there. Back in May, the launch event of our sponsorship saw a new world record for the most "keepy-uppys" in 60 seconds. The Derbyshire captain, Wayne Madsden, managed a remarkable 282, beating some stiff competition from Stuart Broad and Charlotte Edwards. We introduced a big ball to cricket in the form of the Royal London zorbing challenge; and our mascot Gilbert, the colourful Pelican, has done a great job of getting the crowd engaged in "doing the pelican". A branded pop-up cricket net toured the grounds, giving young and old alike the chance to try their hand. Who knows, we may have inspired a future England captain.
We also joined forces with the England and Wales Cricket Board and the counties in a "Kids go Free" initiative, to encourage children to get involved in their local clubs. This year "Kids go free" offered free entry to 28 games, for 350 children, most of them watching cricket for the first time. In addition we worked with a leading sports charity, the Lord's Taverners, to give 20 children from its inner city development programme "Wicketz", the chance to watch their first cricket match, with tickets to the Royal London One-Day Cup final. We plan to build on this initiative next season.
All in all, we feel we have done a lot in our first year, which has increased the awareness of Royal London among our core target audiences. We look forward to building on our sponsorship, contributing to this very British sport and helping to inspire the next generation of cricketers.

Milky oily water leaked out of transmission!

I have a 2000 mastercraft with indmar v drive. I have loved this boat since the day my family bought it. I had a bilge pump out and noticed after almost filling my hull completely with water. I have diagnosed the water problem coming from the water pump bearing and seal leaking on the pulley side of the impeller housing. I also fixed the bilge pump. When I pulled the boat out of garage to hook up fake a lake(to diagnose where water was intruding) I then noticed oil had dripped out of hull onto the ground. A lot of oil and water. I then used a suction pump and fed tube into transmission to suck out what appeared to be about 2 quarts of milky watery oil! I'm freakish at this point. I drained remaining and filled with fresh oil with intentions of running in driveway with fake a lake to mix and then repeat my process of changing fluid to get rid of any remaining water. When I hooked up the fake a lake and cranked engine I could not get transmission to engage. I moved the throttle forward and engine would rev but prop was not spinning. The tranny made zero noise. It did not seem to engage and the engine was purring beautifully. Any thoughts? Is my transmission ruined??
My best guess is that water penetrated a seal on tranny last time it was run and then leaked out in my hull and then onto the ground in garage. I don't know why it would not engage at all.. It seams like it would have made some noise or grinding or something. Is there a sensor that keeps transmission from engaging for any reason?
Any input would be appreciated.
Mo Money, mo boats, mo problems
Shift it manually, to see if it will engage. You can take the cable off and move the shift lever. Spray a bit of WD40 onto the propshaft just above the bearing and rotate the prop to work the oil in.
Have the oil cooler pressure tested (or, you can test it if you have a compressor. You'll need a brass plug, a reducer bushing and a Shrader valve. Remove the oil cooler, thread these parts into the cooler and make sure they're sealing well, pressurize the oil cooler (you don't need a lot of pressure- 20psi should be fine) and immerse it in water- if you see bubbles coming from the inside, it's leaking.
If you see bubbles, you can take it to a radiator repair shop for repair- it's a lot less money than buying a new one and you won't have to worry about getting a part number. If it's not leaking, the shaft seal on the transmission should be checked for black paint on the rubber, next to the opening. If it has paint all over the rubber, use a small hook tool to scrape the paint off. This was a known issue in 2000 and they had a service bulletin for it. If you're not the original owner, it's likely that they never had this done or the dealer never did it for them.
I saw a few transmissions with water getting in this way and was told to add about 1/2 cup of kerosene to the transmission oil when I changed it. Run it, let the oil circulate and the kerosene would attract as much of the remaining water as it can, then repeat the oil change until it comes out free of water. The least expensive way to do this it to buy the transmission oil in gallon jugs.

My favorite part is when Old Yeller fights to protect Travis, Travis' mother, and Travis' brother. Even though Old Yeller won the battle, he really lost in the end. To find out why, read this book. I drew this scene(above). Travis changed because at first he hated Old Yeller, but later he loved him! This book is similar to Where the Red Fern Grows because something terrible happens to the hero. I think the lesson of the story is not to judge something or someone before you get to know them.
I recommend this book to everybody who likes to read exciting books. People who like interesting and thrilling books should read this story. What might interest readers is how many times Old Yeller saves Travis and Little Arliss, Travis' little brother.

The ATO press center has published on its official page on Facebook the pictures of the Ukrainian soldiers in front of the administrative buildings in the town, Censor.NET reports.
"Marinka is controlled by Ukraine. The photos from the town of Marinka in the Donetsk region, which depict the soldiers of the Armed Forces and the National Guard in front of the local police department and State Tax Service in Marinka, are the best proof of the fact that the city remains under the control of the Ukrainian government. These photos totally deny reports by the Russian propaganda media about the seizure of the city by the militants of the illegal armed formations," the statement reads.
Earlier, "DPR" leader Alexander Zakharchenko claimed at a press conference that the "DPR" terrorists allegedly control part of Marinka.
