4.68/5 rDev +19.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Golden, lemony, and clear. A bit of lacing, but not much. Very little foam.
Smell: Very spicy, and hops are so apparent. I smell the "Belgian-ness" (i.e., unique yeastiness). Has almost a lemon fruity smell reminiscent of Mr. Clean, but in a very good way. A bit of pine in the background.
Taste: What an interesting taste! The spicy aroma really carries through to the taste. It's got a bit of bitterness which combines with the carbonation to give a tingling on the tongue. And, it is Belgian! You can really taste the phenol component. Not so much fruit. Maybe a hint of strawberries beneath the hoppiness. Definitely a lovely, complex beer.
Mouthfeel: Light carbonation with a tingly sensation. Not heavy or silky. The finish has a bit of bitterness from the hops but it is fabulous.
Drinkability: Highly drinkable. Very smooth going down.
Serving type: on-tap

Served into a pint glass at the Winking Lizard for the Glass of the Month
A- Poured a bright clear golden color with frothy head and streaming carbonation. Leaves coating lace
S- Really great and complex aroma of sour apple, lemon, pineapple, mango, and Belgian yeast. Not very strong aroma for being double dry hopped though.
T- Big apple, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, floral, coriander, Belgian yeast, and spice flavors. Some astringency and bitterness on the finish
M- High prickly carbonation, medium body
O- This beer tastes like a hoppy saison. Really delicious and highly drinkable ale. Another great beer from Stone with huge tropical and fruity flavors.

A rare sixtel (out of 2 available in the area) enjoyed on tap at The Attic last night.
The color is a medium gold with a brightness and clarity to it. A nice, creamy off-white head sits at a finger in height and shows some sturdiness. Consistent lacing is left on the glass in legs and patches.
This beer smells like a field of flowers and clovers with a strong yeast presence that blends well and speaks of the complexity found in the flavor. There are some tropical fruits and a big hop bouquet with very floral and drier hops notes, enough malt to balance and soften, and an undeniable Belgian yeast with a bit of sweetness (bubble gum) and lightly dusty earthiness. This is a fantastic beer that needs to be savored. Hoppy, as expected from Stone, with a softness from yeast and malts that plays very well.
Crispness is underlying in the feel before a nice smoothness comes out beneath and following it. The body is medium and the carbonation is moderate.

Poured from a growler into a goblet
A: Very hazy gold with an almost nonexistent head.
S: Very floral initially, followed by warm spices, rounded out by light tropical fruit & some hops.
T: True to the name, there is a dry hop component that lasts across the palate. Underneath that, there is a floral initial attack followed by a tropical fruit midpalate then a dried flower/hop finish that lasts an incredibly long time. Complex and tasty.
M: Medium-bodied, crisp and complex.
O: Another fantastic Stone beer. Tasty, unique and complex. I have yet to have a beer from them I don't love.

4.23/5 rDev +7.9%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
A- poured a cloudy light gold with about two fingers of foamy white head. Head dissipates down to about a half finger and leaves thick lacing.
S- interesting citrus and spice blend. Citrus reminds me of grapefruit and lemon.
T-the belgian yeast definitely comes through. It tastes like a very hopped Saison, with the fruity esters and the hoppy citrus balanced quite well against the malt backbone.
M- hints of carbonation and a little thinner in feel.
O- a really good, albeit very different IPA than the usual.
Serving type: bottle

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
On-tap at 101 Bottles in Kent, Ohio. Served into a tulip. Quite happy to try this rare beer!
A: Pours a foggy, deep yellow color with a finger of white head topping off the glass.
S: Big citrus hop aroma hits me immediately; they're slightly stronger than the also powerful Belgian aromas that show up owing to yeast and candi sugar. Fairly sweet overall, but nicely balanced.
T: Once again, balance rules this beer; I get a lot of citrus and pine hops, alongside the aforementioned Belgian flavors. Some Belgian IPAs get to the point where Belgian flavors dominate them and show a bit of clash within their flavors, but not this one.
M: The quick notes I jotted down outside are just gushing about this one; it's creamy, it's smooth, and it needs to be ordered by you if you're fortunate enough to see it.
O: Very solid beer from Stone; I know some of their Belgian offerings have been met with a bit of skepticism here on BA since they began to introduce them, but I would order this again in a heartbeat if I saw it a beer and there weren't any new, highly touted offerings among the beer's tap list. I'm not sure that you'll see this at a bar that serves anything other than the best, but it's well worth trying if you do get a chance. Kudos to Stone; after this offering, I'll be more likely to try the next batch of their ordinary Cali-Belgique IPA, or maybe even their Belgian flavored Old Guardian or anise imperial stout.

On draft at Dutch's (served in a pint glass). Looks good; lighter like a BIPA should. Smells good too; pears and apples. Tastes good too; much better than its non-dry hopped counterpart. Mouthfeel is good too; easy to drink, but distinct. Overall, a very good beer that I'm happy to have had the opportunity to try.

The color when poured into a clear pint glass was amber with a reddish hue. The smell of mild piney hop with spices was evident in the aroma. The taste was of a medium pine flavor with a touch of spice and fruit. Not overly bitter. Well balance flavor and a big surprise for this IPA. In fact, a pleasant surprise.

3.89/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
22oz bottle into a .5 cylinder named Spaten.
A- Two finger fast fade head, although at first ample... soapy pour, lacing strong. Foggy light gold amber color.
S - Way more belgian than IPA. Coriander, spice, yeast. Classic, not terribly American.
T - Now we experience the hops, esp frontal and middle arc, excellent hops, citrus and a hint of bitterness upfront that gives away to Belgian sweetness, spice, and yeasty esters. Complex, woody, grass, spice. Alot going on, but it works.
M - Very nice, class belgik, on front of tongue. Astringent - tingly carbonation.
Overall: MORE Belge than California, wish it was reversed! As a reviewer wrote " made me want a Stone IPA , bastard, or Ruination". Worth a try - a true Belgian without too much Stone Signature.

3.5/5 rDev -10.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Served on tap in a sample glass.
Appearance: Amber color, with a white head.
Smell: Citrus, malts, hops, pine notes, and cloves. Interesting combination of scents coming from this beer.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth medium bodied. Taste of citrus, hops, malts, and cloves. Much like the smell, it is an interesting combination of flavor.
Overall: Not a bad brew, but not my first choice. Little bit of an identity crisis with this one, wants to an IPA and a Witbeir at that same time, I guess that is the best way to describe it.

3.45/5 rDev -12%
look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Interesting seasonal but not one I will rush back for.
A- very soapy, suddy pour and looked appetizing in the glass for a while. Most of the head dissipated after a couple of glugs, however, but acceptable lacing left on top.
S - I got more of the syrupy Belgian sugar on the nose. Not overbearing, but doesn't smell much like a Us IPA at all - it's transatlantic influence defines the scent.
T - Tantalising hops, citrus and a hint of bitterness upfront quickly gives way to Belgian candy.
M - front of tongue, top of pallet heavy. A bit astringent - felt the carbonation.
Overall: Belge comes to California, rather than the reverse. Just made me want a Stone IPA or Ruination. Not a bad brew to try out, however.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3
A- Pours a bright clear golden color with a fairly small white head. Head is gone pretty quick and leaves some very light lacing.
S- Smell is pretty tame. For being doubld dry hopped the hop aroma is pretty light. I'm picking up more of the spicy yeast than anything.
T- More spicy yeast than anything here too. A bit of tartness too. A very light hop bitterness.
M- Lighter side of medium in body and a good amount of carbonation.
O- Wasn't a huge fan of the regular version and this one follows suit. If you're a big fan of Beligian style beers this one maybe up your alley.

Poured into a recommended tulip glass, this is Belgian IPA is a cloudy amber color beer that luxuriates under a frothy cap, one which breaks up like a whispy cloud.
The nose is consistent with the style; there is a whiff o apple, peach and honey; the taste is nice and pleasant with sweet bites of mango that transform into a subtle hop fade - the sweetness is retained.
This is a light and airy beer, more so than would would get from a dry-hopped process. Comfortable body that goes down easy on the palate. We all realize that some Belgians can sway to the sweet side; this decent beer does not. There is a simple balance here. I would not drink more than one in succession, however.

[1]Cysticercosis is an infectious disorder caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. Infection occurs when the tapeworm larvae enter the body and form cysticeri (cysts). The tapeworm eggs are spread through food, water, or other surfaces contaminated with feces. The signs and symptoms vary depending on the location and number of cysticeri in the affected person's body. Symptoms can present months to years after the infection. Diagnosing cysticercosis can be challenging and may involve several test, including MRI or CT brain scans and blood tests. Although treatment is available and may include anti-parasitic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or surgery, it is not always necessary.

This document describes the Rackspace Private Cloud configuration and support offerings.
Rackspace offers a tool set that enables users to quickly deploy a private cloud OpenStack cluster configured according to the recommendations of Rackspace OpenStack specialists.
Previous versions of Rackspace Private Cloud were packaged in an ISO that contained a full Ubuntu OS and a Chef server running on a virtual machine. Although the ISO was a convenient and simple package, it did not allow large deployments. The user also had no choice of host operating system and Chef server running on a virtual machine was resource-intensive.
Rackspace Private Cloud v4.0.0 and later can now be deployed with a Chef-based approach that enables users to create an OpenStack cluster on Ubuntu, CentOS, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This version uses installation scripts, which creates a more traditional application experience for the Linux system administrator. It also offers a framework that is capable of being updated without downloading and deploying a whole new ISO.
The following table lists the OpenStack versions and components supported by the current releases of Rackspace Private Cloud.
|OpenStack Grizzly
|OpenStack Havana
|Compute (Nova)
|Image Service (Glance)
|Dashboard (Horizon)
|Identity (Keystone)

Celebrating 2013's SCORE Chapter of the Year for National Small Business Week
by bridgetwpollack, Contributor
- Created: June 18, 2013, 2:31 pm
- Updated: June 18, 2013, 2:31 pm
This week is my absolute favorite of the year because National Small Business Week marks the biggest celebration of small business the whole year long. It feels almost like the week of Christmas, with Friday being the big day of celebration taking place right here in our own backyard of Washington DC. Small businesses from around the country will be recognized for their hard work and I couldn't be more proud and excited.
Across the country, all year long, SCORE chapters work to help small businesses start, grow and succeed. Tomorrow we get to showcase a prime example of the wonderful work of our volunteers and the small business success they help create by honoring the 2013 SCORE Chapter of the Year. This year, the award goes to SCORE Lancaster located in Pennsylvania – a chapter that is truly innovative when it comes to educating and mentoring small business owners.
You need only witness the success of SCORE Lancaster's clients to understand the great work this chapter is doing. Clients like USA Gypsum that, under the guidance of SCORE Lancaster mentor Lou Davenport, completely reworked their financial structure, resulting in incredible gains in profitability, a significant decrease in reliance on debt and overall, a sustainable new business model. President and General Manager of USA Gypsum, Terry Weaver, has worked hand in hand with his mentor for more than five years, continuously improving operations and has seen increased profits in each of those years. As mentor Lou Davenport says, USA Gypsum "is a great example of how a good business idea, combined with a fine work ethic and continuous business process improvement can all combine into a successful business that serves both market and community needs."
Small business is certainly an important servant of local communities, but communities also help sustain small businesses. With this in mind, the volunteers at SCORE Lancaster pioneered a new method of client interaction called the Business Roundtable. Local small business owners meet to discuss issues they are facing and offer help to one another. It is a highly effective and popular event that is now utilized by chapters across the country to help small businesses interact, network and solve problems in a collaborative environment.
All year long, we are proud of the work SCORE volunteers across the country are doing. But this week, and especially tomorrow, is our chance to really put faces to those successes and give recognition to those who deserve it. Congratulations to all of the 2013 National Small Business Week Award Winners and to our Chapter of the Year, SCORE Lancaster. These small businesses and the mentors who serve them certainly have profound effects on their local communities and our country as a whole.

You want shameless? How about this:
While Addison preps Noah's pregnant wife Morgan for delivery, she's also clearly undressing Noah with her eyes right there in the same room. Morgan sees it, too, and flips out on Addison, telling her to back off her man.
Privately, Addison tells Noah she can't continue with their affair. Then later, when Morgan apologizes for going nuts, she begs Addison to still deliver the baby. Addison says she will—and STILL keeps making bedroom eyes at Noah. Like, WOW!.
[break]Elsewhere, two patients who've had in vitro discover an ugly mix-up: They're each carrying the other's embryo! Even for Oceanside, that's pretty horrible. One patient, Zoë, is ready to abort ASAP. But the other, Amelia, is desperate to go to term, after which time the women can swap babies.
And who could be responsible for this terrible situation? Figures, it's Dell. Sam demotes the clueless wonder back to receptionist. Yeah, better off having that guy just mix up phone calls from now on.
Also, Violet and Pete have similar concerns over another patient, Katie, who recently had a miscarriage. Worried that the distraught girl is off her meds, Violet suggests putting her on a 5150 hold.
[break]As Naomi seriously considers William White's offer to ditch Oceanside and head up Pacific Wellness, Addison tries to convince her to stay, especially now that Oceanside needs her help with the impending lawsuit they're facing from Zoë and Amelia.
Dell has other things to worry about in addition to screwing up at work. His drug-addled ex-girlfriend Heather pops up and gladly offers to hand over their daughter—for ten grand! Obviously, he doesn't have the dough. So, Dell shares his predicament at the center where Sam rips into him for trying to buy his child back. (Really, is it that wrong?)
Violet, with so many guys clamoring for her attention, has a difficult decision to make before her baby is born. So, who's it going to be? She picks Pete! FINALLY, we say. What took her so long? They share a passionate kiss before Violet heads home. Alone.
Well, Violet isn't completely alone. A deranged Katie has stalked her, followed her into her home and drugs her. The deluded girl thinks that Violet's unborn baby somehow belongs to her—and she's going to take it any way she can. GROSS!
[break]Addison continues to insist she can no longer see Noah—while she makes out with him on his couch. (Girl, come on.) Suddenly they get a message: Morgan is in labor.
As Addison and Noah race to the hospital, Zoë finally agrees with Amelia. The two women will go to full term and swap babies after they're born.
And look who's come around: Sam gives Dell a $10,000 check and tells him to get his daughter back. But when Heather comes by to drop off Betsy and collect her money, Dell takes the kid and refuses to hand over the check. He orders Heather away until she can get clean. Hey, maybe Dell isn't as dopey as he appears.
Dell is going to have to especially step up when Addison asks him to handle Morgan's delivery. Addison is at last too guilt-ridden over her affair with Noah to face the woman again.
As for Naomi, she informs a heartbroken Sam that she is indeed taking the Pacific Wellness position. We wish her luck, even if Sam won't.
[break]Violet continues to be terrorized by Katie. But there's hope! Cooper plans on checking up on her. However, at the last second, he answers a call from Charlotte who needs cheering up after being fired from Pacific Wellness. Tragically, Cooper chooses to go to Charlotte over Violet.
Tied up and now with no hope of being rescued, Violet makes a bold move with her assailant. Katie waves a scalpel over Violet's huge belly, ready to remove the baby.

Virtual L ®
Exuding romance, dimly lit booths stifle all outside conversation as couples share saucy, tomatoy confections brought out by servers who know when to keep their distance. Even if you happen to be sitting at one of the restaurant's cramped tables, acoustics are such that even the most conspicuous seat has much in the way of privacy and ignoring other chowhounds is simply a matter of gazing into your partner's eye. And, if that wasn't lovely enough, nothing at La Luce costs much more than $20, truly the sine qua non d'amore.
Average cost: $10-$20

Harrisonburg, Va., Oct. 16, 2012 - Taylor Deitrick struck an unassisted goal early in the second half to carry Richmond past James Madison 1-0 in non-conference action on Tuesday night at the JMU Field Hockey Complex.
UR, ranked 17th in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Top 25 Poll, improved to 11-4 overall with its sixth straight win. JMU fell to 8-6. The Dukes have had 13 of their 14 matches decided by one goal, including all six losses.
Deitrick earned a breakaway opportunity in the opening minutes of the second period. Receiving the ball past midfield, she drove the right side and into the circle. Once inside, she reached the right post and flipped the shot past JMU freshman keeper Lena Wimmert (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany/Lise-Meitner Gymnasium) for her team-leading 10th strike of the season.
JMU had four penalty corner opportunities in the second half as part of its 5-1 advantage for the game, but the Dukes couldn't find the cage. UR led the match in shots 7-5.
Wimmert made three stops on the night while Richmond's Anna Zarkoski stopped two JMU shots, the first coming on JMU's best scoring chance in the first half. On the first corner of the match with five minutes left in the period, freshman Lose Stijntjes (Belgio, Belgium/Heilig Hartcollege) saw her shot from the top stopped by Zarkoski. Senior Jenna Taylor (Midlothian, Va./James River) tried to follow up at the left post but had her shot blocked.
JMU returns home this weekend for a pair of CAA matches. The Dukes host No. 21 William and Mary on Friday at 7 p.m. followed by a 1 p.m. match Sunday vs. No. 8 Old Dominion.

Total prep time: about 10 minutes
Total cook time: 15-20 minutes
This recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks, Food and Wine Quick from Scratch Recipes. The "Pizzaiola" part of the title refers to the ingredients being similar to what you would find on a pizza. I personally don't think it tastes like pizza sauce; it reminds me more of a simple marinara. The sauce is very simple and very easy to make. I love that it uses fresh ingredients – you can really taste it in the end result. You can pair this with pasta or even rice. We love to pair it with couscous because it only takes 5-8 minutes to cook and it absorbs the sauce perfectly. Top it all off with a piece of steak and it is a harmony of delicious Italian flavors. It is one of our favorite recipes – not only because it is tasty but also because you can make it from scratch in less than half an hour.
Here is what you will need:
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
About 5 plum tomatoes
3 sprigs of fresh oregano plus ½ teaspoon chopped fresh or ¾ teaspoon dried
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds steak (we've used sirloin, flank – whatever is on sale)
The Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook it for about 45 seconds to 1 minute – make sure you don't overcook it. You will want it to be white – once it turns yellow/brown it tastes completely different. Add the tomatoes, the oregano sprigs (or dried oregano) and ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper. Bring it to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer it with the lid partially on (to allow steam to escape without splattering tomato sauce all over your kitchen). Allow this to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring it a few times while the sauce thickens.
While the sauce is simmering, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the steak with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Put it in the hot skillet and cook it for 6 minutes (do not turn it) and then turn it and cook it another 6 minutes for a medium to medium rare steak. If you have a thin steak, you will cook it less time for a more pink center and if you have a thick steak, you might need to cook it longer if you desire medium or medium well (a less pink center). After it is done, take it out and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This is a very important step for just about any piece of meat. It will retain a lot more of the juices and result in a more moist and delicious dish. After the steak has rested, cut it diagonally into thin slices.
After you first put the steak in the skillet – start the couscous. Just follow the instructions on the box. It will take a moment for the water to boil and it should finish about the same time as your steak.
To plate this yummy dish, put a nice helping of couscous in the bottom of a bowl then top it with a few slices of steak. Ladle a nice helping of sauce on top of that. If you want to make it look extra pretty, sprinkle it with the chopped, fresh oregano.
A note about the ingredients:
Couscous is actually a very tiny type of pasta. It is made of crushed and steamed semolina (the main ingredient in pasta). It is even smaller than rice and very common in North Africa. You can find it on the aisle with rice and "easy rice" bags. It comes in a small box and there are simple instructions on the back for cooking. A note about the oregano… try to use fresh oregano if you can, it really makes a difference in the end result.
Plum tomatoes – you can find these in the produce section and they are little oblong shaped tomatoes. They are perfect for making sauce. I don't even peel mine, just cut the stem end off, wash them well and dice.

The African Activist Association at UCLA presents a screening of a film from Guinea Bissau, The Blue Eyes of Yonta By Flora Gomes.
Thursday, October 30, 20086:00 PM - 7:30 PMRoom 39, Haines HallUCLA campusLos Angeles, CA 90095
The Blue Eyes of Yonta is an offbeat, lilting film with a dreamy quasi-Caribbean rhythm. It tells a tale that assesses the progress Guinea-Bissau has made on its long march to independence. By tracing the interplay between love and sadness, Flora Gomes paints a beautiful portrait of a city, which has sparks and surprises around every corner. It looks candidly at the filmmaker's country with all its problems, yet regards its characters with warmth and tenderness. It is a lucid and at the same time joyous film. (from California Newsreel)
Film in Portuguese with English subtitles.
Post film discussion and commentary led by Cassandra Tesch, M.A. Candidate in African Studies, UCLA.
For questions or more information, email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ramadhan: Profit and loss in the Kenyan capital
Published on : 1 August 2011 - 11:52am | By RNW Africa Desk (Photo: AFP)
"I am so happy the holy month of Ramadhan is here. I will devote all my time to repenting and asking for forgiveness," says 31 year old Ali Muhumed, a resident of Nairobi. He is an addict of a leafy stimulant commonly known here as khat for the last 15 years.
By Kassim Mohammed
Ali is however eagerly awaiting the start of Ramadhan to quit what he calls 'a devils workshop'. He made the decision after a Muslim religious leader who happens to be his neighbour told him about the perils of the stimulant.
But why does he have to wait until the start of Ramadhan? "I just want to end my bad habit in a special and memorable way. It will be more special to me and I promise to observe all the requirements of the month. Sheikh Umal Mohammed was inspirational and may God bless him," says Ali while window shopping for a new Islamic dress.
Ali lives in Eastleigh a suburb of Nairobi which is now largely regarded as the business hub in Kenya. Here, most business outlets are owned by the predominantly Muslim community of Somali origin.
The businesses vary in nature from modern shopping malls, banks to restaurants. During the holy month of Ramadhan all restaurants in Eastleigh will remain closed during the day and those who don't observe the fast will literally starve until after sunset.
Mohammed Abdullahi runs a renowned restaurant, "We don't open the entire month. We lose customers but that's ok as God says people should observe Ramdhan. I used to make approximately the equivalent of US 1400 euros per day but that amount will reduce to 550 euros."
Follow the masses
Mohammed plans to operate in the evenings after the devout Muslims break their fast. "There are some people who will fast because their families won't cook during the day and all restaurants are closed. The only option is for them to follow the masses and fast. I think we are helping on that front," said Mohammed while briefing his employees on the new work schedule.
Some businessmen however opt to close shop during the entire month and dedicate their time to spiritual matters. Muslims in Nairobi, Kenya are preparing to stock up on food for use during the entire month.
"I have told my wife not to open our shop in which we sell foodstuff. We agreed to spend more time at the mosque and ask for forgiveness from the creator," elaborated Yassin Bishara, a resident of Eastleigh.
Religious schools commonly known as Dugsi will also operate half day to allow the young minds to spend the afternoon at various mosques reading the Quran.
Business ventures
In the streets of Eastleigh, small scale businessmen are now switching gear to sell different kinds of goods such as dates and fruits close to worship areas. For some it's an opportunity to set up a business venture. Sahara Mire is a 20 year-old high school dropout. She managed to raise 70 euros and is planning to make a 'killing'.
"My parents couldn't pay my school fees. I decided to bid school farewell and now it's time to use Ramdhan as a ladder to gaining financial freedom. I hope to sell samusa, dates, black tea and juice near the sixth street mosque," she emphatically said.
Economic analysts in Nairobi say businesses in Eastleigh would experience a lack of growth during the month, but are expected to pick up during the last days of Ramadhan as people shop for the festivities that mark the end of 9th month in the Islamic calendar.
At the end of the day, it seems for most Muslims here, spiritual gain takes precedence over the financial balance sheet.
The first in a two part series about Ramadhan in Africa. The second installment from Senegal will be published on Tuesday, 2nd August.
The Almighty Allah says,
"When a servant thinks of Me, I am near.
When he invokes Me, I am with him.
If he reflects on Me in secret, I reply in secret,
And if he acknowledges Me in an assembly,
I acknowledge him in a far superior assembly."
- Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reptd by Abu Huraira

What I always found is that, even after a good custom capture sharpening under LR, with High sharpen setting I get too soft results.
Maybe it's just a matter of taste, maybe it's that I don't see well (or too well?).
Most probably it's that I almost always print on baryta paper (which is softer than ultra-super-hyper-premium-glossy) or on glossy papers but for very small formats.
Anyway... the Sharpen setting should be a bunch of parameters for the algorithm Jeff Schewe and others worked onto, could you just create another option for more visibile effect?
Once Scott Kelby said (speaking about this matter): "Low means nothing, Medium means Low and High mean Medium".
I certainly agree.
The question is, what about your capture sharpening settings? When you say high is too low, then I question if you are either adequately applying capture sharpening upon which output is based.
The algorithm's ARE based on the work of Jeff and Pixel Genius.
As for Scott's comments, I'm not sure about the confusion! There are three strengths, duh. You can't see them on screen, you have to make a print. Presumably this blind testing is OK for the Print Adjustment slider he loves in LR4 but not for shaprening?

I would argue that your Detail settings for the capture sharpening are not "good". Also, you don't mention what printer you are using and what resolution you are sending to the printer. All play a part in the optimal sharpening workflow...
Thanks Jeff,
I actually expected these replies as it is what you said in c2ps tutorials
I custom sharpen every single photo before print until I get satisfactory result.
Satisfactory (which doesn't mean anything, I know) is "right before my brain says it's too much". It has to appear sharp but not output-sharpened.
Said that, I still get soft images at High sharpening setting.
I print on an Epson R3000 from Lr3 at 360/720ppi depending on source resolution (based on your algorithm <=360 or >360).
Preparing screenshots right now...
Andrew, I'm talking about both screen and print output sharpening. I do both a lot!

I suggest you routinely uprez to 720PPI (independently of image res) if you have an Epson printer or 600PPI if you have an HP printer. After all that is the printer's native res. If the photo editor does not present an image at the printer's native res, the printer driver will do the uprezing... after output sharpening. I have posted this here for years, to be argued against, until recently when those who argued started to understand the process. They still tell you to uprez under certain circumstances - I say: up rez every time.
You may be right and I'd say 70% yes, however this should present a minimal effect except for extremely high frequency detail.
I'm talking abount "common" detail. The overall appearance is not so sharp for me.

Yes, for fine detail, but to a point as you must realize that if uprezzed by the driver, it's done post-output sharpening, which is not ideal. And I add a caveat: I hope that the Adobe uprez algorithm is better than the one in the printer driver. If not, for low-res images, the latter may do a better job. But in general, one should uprez in the photo editor, prior to output sharpening, otherwise the printer driver will be uprzing smaller pre-output-sharpened images.
In the Windows world QImage is an excellent printing app with a choice of uprezzing algorithms. No such thing exists in OSX, unfortunately. QImage delivers all images to the printer driver at its native resolution. [Note: I have no affiliation to QImage or its maker].
FWIW I've printed in 720ppi for lower starting image resolution too: nothing really changed from 360ppi.
Maybe we shouldn't focus that much on 720vs360ppi this time.
I hope you are not judging the capture sharpening at zoomed out scales as you appear to be doing here. The zoomed out preview cannot provide an accurate preview of the effect of the sharpening. Those settings are quite extreme. You should ONLY touch the sharpening sliders when zoomed in 1:1 or higher. Also the noise reduction setting appears quite high to me as this is likely a base ISO image.
Hard to tell on a screen capture, but that image seems unnturally oversharpened.
Hear, hear.
They're actually 1:1 crops.
I never judge sharpening from other zoom factors.
Which is even worse, as even with over sharpened images (sharpened just right for my taste) the final print with higher sharpen setting is not sharp enough for me.
That's just one example. For luster papers that's even worse. I almost never print on glossy surfaces.
PaoloAvezzano wrote:

That's good. You're right that that makes your problem worse. I agree that the default print sharpening is fairly unaggressive and I often am at high myself. I also would note that in my exprience, the algorithm works better if you upscale less. The perceived sharpness as judged by bystanders (i.e. wife) might actually go up if you output to your printer at lower resolutions using the same sharpening setting. You might lose detail but the perception of sharpness will increase. Try printing at 240 ppi for example and compare that to 360 and 720. At viewing distance the lower resolution scaling might actually look better than the higher res ones while when you use a magnifying glass you might see more detail in the higher res ones. This is fairly subjective though and very much dependent on personal taste, the size of the print, the resolution and quality of the original, etc.
Doesn't the sharpening algorithm adjust the effect based on print size?
I mean, why would it change strength based on resolution itself?
Shouldn't the halos be equal in "physical" size no matter which resolution you choose?
That's what you would expect but that is not what happens. The physical size of the haloes appears to be greatly influenced by the output resolution and it appears to me to be the main determinant. This is confirmed by sending the output to a pdf and extracting the images in Photoshop. The haloes are larger in a lower resolution output, so if you upscale to 720 ppi, you get very small haloes, probably hiding the sharpening at regular viewing distances. Again this is all based on me making prints and showing them to others and asking them which they prefer, which they think is sharpest, etc. They often prefer the ones that were done at lower print resolution as they look more punchy when you don't look up close, while I myself see a bit of loss of detail (I work a lot with very resolution originals). Again YMMV but worth trying out.
PaoloAvezzano wrote:

Yes. Or the export size (when you ask to resize and sharpen on export).
It's quite different from what Jao vdL suggested.
We need to know how the sharpen algorithm work based upon export size/print size and print resolution.
I'd prefer to leave 360/720ppi all the time without affecting the haloes' physical size.
IMHO the resolution should be completely independent. Higher resolution should only mean better hi-freq detail and smoother shapes.
Jeff! We need you!
Actually I have to qualify my statement. Andrew and I are talking about different things. I was mostly talking about how the sharpening interacts with the upscaling. If you keep the physical size of the print constant, it appears that the halo is of constant physical size (i.e. a certain fraction of a mm) of the paper. There is however a strong effect of softening of the image if you upscale. Here is the effect illustrated (you might have to click to see 1:1. These went through a printer profile (for fine art paper on our HP Z5200) sent to pdf instead of to the printer, opened in PS CS5 (extracting the exact image as it is sent to the printer from it) and were converted to sRGB for display here.
Native resolution (about 240 ppi for the 12x18 size I selected) high glossy sharpening
360 ppi high glossy sharpeneing: (I know the HP needs 300 instead of 360 but I used 360 here since that was used in the discussion)
720 ppi high glossy
So the size of the halo appears physically the same regardless of the resolution setting, but it appears that the upscaled images lose some directness/contrast. The black of the branches is toned down even though if you look carefully you do see more detail in the upscaled versions. So the question is how this interacts with the printer driver and the printing process. One really has to check the final prints. My approach has been to ask casual observers which they prefer and it tends to be not what I expected. They often like the non-upscaled ones as I think the loss of small scale contrast because the blurring inherent to the upscaling counteracts the sharpening and results in something more detailed but less "punchy". This is quite subjective though. I have noticed that non-photographers tend to favor the suggestion of detail instead of the actual presence of detail.
Secondly, if you keep the resolution constant but vary the print size, it is pretty clear that the physical size of the sharpening haloes is determined by the size of the print and not by the resolution setting in that case. For example, if you print a file at 240 ppi at 12x18 and compare to the same image printed at 240 ppi, 24x36, the halo in the second is twice as large physically, so it is an optical calculation that takes into account viewing distance being larger when you print bigger. This of course makes perfect sense. Lastly, If you do not check the resolution checkbox, the image that is sent to the printer for a 12x18 print is bit-for-bit identical to the image sent for a 24x36 print consistent with the previous observation.
Hope this helps.
Waiting from an "official" response from Adobe/Adobe export, I'd like to stress the reason of my request.
Print sharpening is most of all a subjective factor. There may be technical reasons for the lach of sharpness I get, but I can't afford to invite Eric and Jeff to Tuscany just to have a look
If print sharpen settings are just a bunch of numeric parameters for the same algorithm it should not be that hard to add a fourth voice in the dropdown menu, shoul it?
I mean, nobody is forced to use it, but for those who need a stronger effect, that may be the way to do without having to play with PPI on print dialogs, IMHO.
PaoloAvezzano wrote:
... without having to play with PPI on print dialogs, IMHO.
Print/output sharpening should be applied as the very last step (including final resizing) and this is, I understand, how Lr does it.
Printers have a native PPI resolution (720PPI for Epson, 600PPI for HP). This means that every image is printed at the native PPI. If the image file is supplied (resized) to the printer driver at the native resolution, the driver just prints it (with a very complex micro nozzle control); if the image is under the printer's native res, the driver resizes it. The latter is the problem, as the driver will be resizing a previously output sharpened image, obliterating the output sharpening previously applied. Thus, every image should be resized in Lr to the printer's native res (independently of image size) so that Lr applies output sharpening as a last step before handing the data to the printer driver.
I sure would like to visit Tuscany.
The whole trip may be too much for a stronger sharpening setting under Lightroom, but I lunch could be a good trade off, and I mean...real tuscanian food.
Done deal?
I do really need to bump this thread!
As Jeff always tells, we need to test before asking for help, and I tested, a lot.
It seems that in order to print with the sharpness I like, I do have to "over-pre-sharpen" the image, so that the "High" sharpen level under the print settings gets very sharp image and produce a mid sharpen image.
That occurs with two printers I tested: an Epson 7880 and an R3000. The original images have been shot with a lot of different lenses, and the files seems sharp enough for me.
I could really be just a matter of taste. I don't have any visual visual deficiency.
My question is: is there anyone who could provide me a dng or image+sidecar with sharpen settings already set so that I can print right away (with bidirectional printing set to off and max resolution) and judge by myself?
In other words: is there any chance to work this out?
I'm open to any test you may suggest, but I really can't see what could be the problem in adding another preset with higher values for the parameters of the sharpening algorithm. It would be user's responsability to chose the preferred sharpening level.
I did some testing too and I do agree with you. Lr's Output Sharpening needs to be bumped up. I would like to see 4 settings created where the new Low is the current Mid. And yes, my prints were done wih properly sharpened images.
P.S. - I still insist that optimal printing is done by resizing the image (any image) to the printer's native res (720PPI Epson, 600PPI HP). If that is not done, the printer driver will do it on its own (post output sharpening which is not a good thing).
FWIW, I still print a lot under 720ppi.
The scenario doesn't change: still a bit too soft.

Yes. Output sharpening needs revision.

Madcow recommended an all carbon saddle recently when we were discussing lightening up my mountain bike. I decided to try out the feel of an all carbon saddle first by modding one of my old mountain bike saddles to see how I liked it.
The saddle I chose was an old Fizik Aliante with ti rails:
As you can see, the cover was pretty worn and it weighed in at 250 grams.
I proceeded to peel off the leather cover and manually remove the foam padding by hand. This took a while as it was securely glued to the carbon shell. I then broke out the dremel with a soft wire brush to clean the remaining foam off the shell.
The back edges of the saddle were raised about 4 mm to provide a channel for the foam to rest in. I swapped in the sanding drum onto the dremmel and trimmed the edge flat.
Here is a picture post-mod:
As you can see I was able to shave almost 100 grams, but is it rideable?
The proof is in the pudding. I clamped it in place and hit one of our more rocky trails here in Tucson: Starr Pass. I did take along my usual mountain biking saddle (265 g Selle Italia Team) just in case the all carbon saddle was unbearable and I'd need to swap it out.
Amazingly enough, the new no-padding saddle is MORE comfortable than my usual saddle. I can feel the shell flex under me when I'm riding. Granted, we do ride with a very high quality chamoise in our team shorts, so padding on a saddle is just redundant. After back to back days riding 12 mile loops on local trails I can now report very little soreness in my arse. Less so than normal. I do ride a hard tail as well.
Drawbacks: It ain't pretty, but I figure it's on a mountain bike so I don't mind my saddle looking a bit beat-up. A little clear coat would clean it up nicely I think. The other issue I discovered is that the rear edges of the saddle are a bit sharp when behind the saddle in technical sections. I may blunt them with some foam or rubber if I decide to keep using it.

Sands of the Desert, STIR-CRAZY! Legendary magic performed for decades on street and stage, now with BONUS closeup routines and an innovative new sand formula.
The newest addition to the Sands of the Desert family is a wax-type magic sand that clumps when you need control, but appears free-flowing for the grand finale. It is similar to the waxed sand you are familiar with, but created from high-quality extracts rather than common wax.
Fully surrounded or center stage, a wave of your hand turns clear water eerie black. Pour three different colored sands into the water and vigorously mix them around. Instead of an impossible mess, plunge your hand into the water and emerge with each color of sand, one by one, separate and dry!
And thanks to the special wax formula, you can pour all three colors in at once. Pour a little a time, and mix them up between each pour to maintain the original length of the trick. The magic is MORE with the TRIPLE POUR!
Wet sand flows DRY from your hand!
Clumps for added control. Go STIR-CRAZY!
Legendary magic performed worldwide!
Beautiful display of magic, even closeup!
New, in-depth, step-by-step instructions!

text: June 3, 2013 – The Quartier des spectacles will play host to some seriously silly situations with the return of the Just For Laughs Festival, July 10 to 28, 2013. All the big names in comedy from around the world will be here with non-stops gags, hilarious plays, and side-splitting shows whose main goal is simply to make you happy. This year's edition boasts an expanded programming schedule highlighted by the introduction of a brand-new club show, Date Night: The Relationship Show, which joins returning powerhouse The Nasty Show from July 17 to 20 at Club Soda. Audience sensation The Ethnic Show kicks off the festival with a four-night run from July 10 to 13. And for all you Saturday Night Live fans, Seth Meyers, Bobby Moynihan, and Taran Killam will be among the furiously funny people attending this 31st edition. Of course, the festival wouldn't be complete without its famous Parade of Twins on Saturday, July 27. Also back again is the oh-so eclectic Zoofest, an incredible springboard for comedic up-and-comers, and, arguably, the wildest festival in the city. Dance, theatre, improv, comedy, and music, all with shades of burlesque, await you from July 4 to 28. Turn that frown upside down in Montreal this July!

After taking the helm of
historic Monmouth Park Racetrack nearly one year ago, the New Jersey
Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association (NJTHA), at the direction of Darby
Development LLC, has enjoyed a successful first year as they optimistically
look to the future of horse racing in the State of New Jersey.
"To say it's been a successful first year for us is an
understatement," said Dennis Drazin, advisor to Darby Development LLC and the
NJTHA. "We inherited a racetrack in
turmoil and placed her on the path to prosperity.
"In just 12 months at the helm we've eliminated annual
deficits, maintained world-class Thoroughbred racing without a casino purse
supplement and added to the fan-friendly atmosphere of the racetrack, which saw
a 22% increase in attendance over the prior year."
In 2012 Monmouth
Park saw the addition of
four large video boards on-track, the installation of a 36-hole miniature golf
course, a new caterer, and additional group areas.
"Last year was just the beginning," Drazin said. "The near future will see the finalization of
a lease agreement to build a new OTB, an on-site concert venue, a boardwalk and
a new restaurant near the miniature golf course.
"The long-term will continue to focus on alternative
revenue streams, both gaming and non-gaming, as well as marketing initiatives
that attract racing fans and newcomers, alike."
New for 2013 is Betfair/TVG's operation of 4NJBets.com,
which has seen more than 1,000 new subscribers, and handle numbers that are 47%
higher than the year prior. In addition,
TVG, America's
Horse Racing Network, will be on-track at Monmouth for live coverage of the
entire 2013 racing season.
On-track fans will notice some new things right from the
onset, beginning with the Jersey
Shore's Open for Business
campaign kick-off slated for opening day.
Other notable improvements include a finish line bar located on the
apron of the Grandstand as well as a new bar in the picnic area.
Park's meet gets underway
on Saturday, May 11, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 6. Racing will then shift north for all turf
cards at the Meadowlands through Breeders' Cup Saturday on Nov. 2.

"The long-term will continue to focus on alternative revenue streams, both gaming and non-gaming, as well as marketing initiatives that attract racing fans and newcomers, alike." In the near-term, the new revenue stream is to up the general parking fee to $4.00. That kind of nickle and diming will loose you fans.TVG is a rip-off compared to $NJBets, but that topic is for another time."Other notable improvements include a finish line bar located on the apron of the Grandstand as well as a new bar in the picnic area." One of the attractions to Monmouth Park was the BYOB option for food and refreshments. Keep putting restrictions on that policy and you will loose even more patrons. Supporting overpriced vendors by limiting the locations allowing coolers is sure to endear the Horsemen's Stewardship policies to the fans. Since you want move government, I guess none of you voted Republican.Good luck to the Horsemen's Stewardship.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because this recipe looks daunting enough as it is!
Jacqueline originally picked a chocolate to have in her recipe arsenal. Since this one is challenging to make gluten free/dairy free she asked me to post the original recipe. I gladly obliged.
Jacqueline is ah-mazing and made this cake gluten free so if you know someone with a food allergy, they can still enjoy the cake! Check out her gluten free cake recipe here!
We have a small group this week. Me, Audra over at The Baker Chick, and Jacqueline.
Don't forget to check out our Pinterest page with pictures of all our past Milk Bar Monday recipes.
Like I said, this recipe looks daunting all typed up. But each component is fairly quick to make on its own, so the process isn't too time consuming.
My notes on the recipe:
I wanted the middle layer to be laden with fudge so I used 1/4 of the recipe in each step, and I saved the fudge used to make the cake to pour over my finished product. [Read more...]
