New Photo Discussion 1: Droplet
I really like the colors in the droplet and the way it's lit. It almost looks like blown glass at first glance :). I'm mighty curious. How was it lit and what is the drop falling off of??

Response 1:Believe it or not, that is natural light. The drop was very strange, just standing off the side. The shot was taken looking down. This was from a grouping of hastas as they were sprouting. Each leaf had a tiny droplet of "dew"... I am guessing it was something emitted by the plant. Some sun sneaking over the rooftop in the morning caught just the tip, on otherwise an overcast morning - I think the time was a little earlier actually than shown here. The leaves were pale yet and the blues seem to spring from the shadowed light.
I did use some post processing to both wring out the color and enhance the contrast. Like weeding a garden I've been on a kick to get out the clutter.
Thanks for asking!

Response 1:I just panned the camera as the bus zoomed by. I must have shot about two dozen images of vehicles going by me. It's really about practicing the panning technique and making sure to follow through on the movement, twisting from the waist.
I had the ISO at 1600. The aperture was set for f/8 and the shutter speed was a about 1/8 second. I was using the wide-angle focal length of the 18-55mm kit lens, which explains why some of the light streaks towards the corners look as if I were zooming the lens while panning, which I wasn't. It's just the effect of the wide-angle focal length.
Thanks for asking, my friend. It's appreciated.

Sparrow's 2012 Miracle Child Evan Yaney likes two things: his Sparrow doctors and dinosaurs.
When the 4-year-old visits Sparrow Children's Center for chemotherapy, the Physicians and Caregivers cater to his every preference, down to the dinosaur stickers at the receptionist's desk.
"It really makes us feel like we're not just another Patient," said Evan's mom Wendy Yaney of Grand Ledge. "There's a real personal touch."
As Sparrow's Miracle Child, Evan is featured in billboards, advertisements and during community events to promote the Sparrow Children's Center Telethon, which kicks off June 1.
Evan was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2010 and has undergone chemotherapy and more than a dozen hospitalizations since. He has about two more years of treatment to complete, but that doesn't appear to be slowing down the energetic and happy child.
"We could have gone anywhere in the world for his treatment, and we chose to stay here," said his dad Dr. Kent Yaney, DO, a Sparrow Emergency Department physician. "I don't think we did just as well as we could have anywhere else in the world, I think we did better because (Sparrow Caregivers) are so personal. They're so caring."
Dr. Renuka Gera, MD, pediatric oncologist at Sparrow and professor of pediatrics at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, said making children and families feel comfortable while providing access to state-of-the-art medicine is an important part of care at Sparrow.
"The treatment for these children is long so it needs to happen close to home in their own environment," said Dr. Gera. "But this is only going to be possible with the community's support."
The Sparrow Children's Center Telethon will air 9-11:30 p.m. June 1 and noon-6 p.m. June 2 on WILX TV-10. For more information, to donate and to participate online, visit sparrow.org/telethon.

Got another shipment of chicks this week. However, it's only been 2 days (almost) and already 3 are dead but another 2-3 look kinda bad.
Hope mypetchicken.com will refund or replace.
Vikki at Rosemary Ridge
UPDATE: Dec 26 2012: A total of 10 died out of the 20 easter egger chicks. Fortunately we put in a bantam egger/silkie cross and she's taken to mothering them. We'll definitely keep her in mind any time we need a foster mom for some chicks. She's only a couple months old herself! Mypetchicken.com did refund for 6 chicks since those died within 48 hours of receipt.

On Saturday 22nd December 2012, the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in coordination with Hizb ut Tahrir Indonesia will be hosting a momentous International Women's Conference in Jakarta, Indonesia entitled, "The Khilafah: Protecting Women from Poverty and Enslavement." It will gather speakers and an audience of 1500 influential women from across the world to address the causes of the deplorable state of poverty and economic exploitation facing women in the Muslim world and globally, as well as present the Khilafah system as the model of governance that can solve this crippling problem affecting women worldwide. It will be the culmination of a global campaign on the issue that Hizb ut Tahrir has been engaged in over the last few weeks.
Dr. Nazreen Nawaz, the Women's Representative of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir commented, "Across the Muslim world today, millions of women are fighting a daily battle for financial survival. Desperate poverty has forced many to seek employment abroad, often facing in the process severe abuse. Others have been driven to work in jobs under slave-like conditions to feed themselves and their families, or left to beg on the streets. This is manufactured poverty. These women are victims of corrupt incompetent governments of the Muslim world who have built their personal fortunes from the wealth of the Muslim lands, and they are victims of the flawed and oppressive Capitalist system that these leaderships implement and promote within their states."
"This toxic Capitalist system, based upon the free-market economy and interest-based model of finance has generated mass inequality in wealth, pushing women globally into poverty and economic enslavement, including millions living within Western states as well as those countries celebrating high economic growth such as China, India, Turkey, and Brazil. In the Muslim world, capitalist colonial policies imposed upon the region by Western states through globalisation, free-market liberalization, and loans from bodies such as the IMF and World Bank have manipulated the economies of the Muslim lands to serve the interests of foreign governments and corporations while impoverishing the masses, destroying local markets, and robbing the people of their wealth and resources."
"Alongside this, the exploitative, materialistic capitalist ideology that places wealth creation above all other values in life has correlated women's empowerment to employment, devaluing motherhood, and eroding the concept of male and state maintenance of women – all in an attempt to drive women into the workplace. This has generated an intense social pressure for women to seek employment to feel valued, and to adopt the oppressive role of being both bread-winner and home-maker, causing them to compromise their vital role as nurturers and educators of the future generation. This system has dehumanized women to nothing but economic commodities that bring financial benefit to their state, and left many uncared for with no-one to provide for them and their children."
"This momentous conference will gather women from across the world to present the Khilafah as the only model of governance that can put an end to this deplorable state of financial hardship and exploitation. It will highlight how this is a system that places securing human need over financial gain and views women as dignified human beings to be always provided for and protected by their male relatives or by the state, and not as objects of wealth creation, while at the same time permitting them to pursue a career if they choose. It will also present the unique and sound Islamic economic policies of the Khilafah that have a time-tested approach to tackling poverty and providing financial security. This will be a state to which women globally can truly look to as a model by which to protect them from poverty and exploitation. We call all women who seek a true solution to economic oppression and enslavement to attend this important conference."
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ
"Does He who created not then know? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware."

Working in a gray area
August 24, 1998: 11:55 a.m. ET
Switching careers later in life presents challenges, but you've got company
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Whether you're downsized or disgruntled, making a career shift in your 40s and 50s means you'll have to tackle the stigma of being an "older worker" head on.
Older workers have born the brunt of the downsizing trend of the 1990s, making up the bulk of the middle management ranks to which firms looked first when cutting positions.
Bouncing back hasn't been easy. According to a 1996 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, 79 percent of workers between the ages of 25 and 54 were able to find work after losing their jobs. Only 52 percent of workers 55 or older found their way back into the workforce.
Even those older workers who did find employment had little cause for celebration. Approximately 73 percent of mature workers who made a change in jobs found themselves earning less than at their previous jobs.
Several factors are turning around this bleak picture. First, baby boomers are getting gray and coming your way. Over the next 10 years, the number of workers aged 45 to 54 will grow by more than 30 percent. Their large numbers could do much to lessen the stigma of being an older worker.
Additionally, an extremely tight labor market has led employers to take a second look at older workers they may once have shunned. In 1997, the unemployment rate for workers aged 55 to 64 fell from 3.3 percent to 3.1 percent.
Despite signs of an improved work environment, older workers looking to make a change find themselves in a difficult situation, said Sara Rix, senior policy analyst at the
American Association of Retired Persons
"Mid-life and older workers are less likely to be voluntary job changers," she said. "They're more settled and have benefits that are dependent on the jobs they hold."
Age and wisdom
The first order of business if you're hunting for a job is to use facts to fight some of the age biases that exist.
Many employers may believe if a worker is over 40 they're somehow close to retirement age when, in fact, they've probably got more than 20 years of working life ahead of them.
Employers also operate under the myth which says younger workers will build their careers with the company and stay longer, said Lawrence Einhorn, marketing and communications director for
Forty Plus
of Northern California, a non-profit organization devoted to helping older workers.
"If you look at the facts, most employees don't last more than four to five years before they move on," he said.
Einhorn also said workers in this age group usually have their lives much more settled, with grown children and paid mortgages. These are all factors that can be pointed out to prospective employers who have been seeing a revolving door of younger workers.
Preparing a resume can be the most challenging part for older workers. Many companies' human resources departments act as goalies, knocking aside the resume of anybody over 30.
You don't necessarily need to lie to make it past HR, said Charlene Walker, partner at
Women's Focus
, a Tustin, Calif.-based career transition counseling service. However, you do need to practice a little selective truth.
"I wouldn't go back more than 10 to 15 years on your resume," said Walker.
"You also don't necessarily have to put the months or dates of your employment on the document. If they want additional experience, you can elaborate."
Workers in this age group may have to battle outside pressures but they create some problems of their own, she explained.
"Sometimes they act as if they're ready to crawl into the crypt. They don't have an enthusiastic manner. Energy is crucial. You have to appear that you're interested in this job."
A complete and objective assessment can be a great help to older workers, some of whom may not have interviewed for a job in many years.
Go through your interview with a friend or counselor who will give you feedback on everything from your speaking manner to your clothes. If possible, this person should be somebody younger who may give you a different perspective.
That's not to say you need to try acting as if you're 25 years old again. But you can do simple things that will show a future employer time hasn't left you behind.
Many of these things are simple. Eliminate the word "old" from your vocabulary and learn some of the latest terminology in whatever job you're pursuing. Having an e-mail address shows you're capable of embracing change as it comes.
Increasing the odds
Just because it's tough for older workers doesn't mean you can't increase your chances for being able to change your career.
This process can start even before you've made the switch. Any training seminars or additional educational resources your current company provides should be pursued.
Walker said older workers often have a fear they can't keep up with technological change. "They feel disconnected with the rest of the workforce," she said.
But since many jobs now require the use of a computer in one way or another, these workers can't afford to miss out. Learning about computers doesn't necessarily require you to become a programmer. Instead it can be as simple as taking a class in word processing or using an Internet browser to get around on the Web.
Once you've attained some basic skills, you'll want to consider the employers that are more open to hiring older workers, said Walker.
"The non-profit sector values work experience from the private sector. They realize older workers are more motivated by giving something back to their communities."
She also advocated focusing on smaller and mid-sized firms. "These companies are looking for any experience they can get to help them grow, as opposed to the Fortune 500 companies."
Forty Plus' Einhorn said the financial industry has placed a value on the mature worker. Investment planning in particular benefits from having workers who are a little gray around the temples.
"If you're going to invest in a mutual fund, they'll automatically bring more respect. What is a 32 year-old going to tell a 48 year-old about moving around asset allocations?"
Sales divisions have also embraced older workers, although not in their high pressure sales areas. Rather, sales positions where customer service is key often benefit from having more mature faces.
In an interesting bit of irony, the woes of the older worker have created jobs for some of those who have been displaced, said Einhorn.
"One of the areas that is growing is career counseling itself," he said. "Some of these people haven't been able to get back into the workforce in other ways and have pursued this instead."

Toshiba America Consumer Products Inc. Complaint - Stay Away From Toshiba, Worst TV. Worst Customer Service
Review by
Comments (2)
LEBANON, TENNESSEE -- I'm highly dissatisfied & DISGUSTED with DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED TOSHIBA DLP TV & Toshiba America Corporation's extremely poor & pathetic customer service of corporate staff handling complaint.
I have bought Toshiba DLP 72 inches TV model #72HM195. Paying several thousands of dollars on 9/13/06. With in 4 months with in less than 150 hrs of usage Lamp failed, Contacted Toshiba.
Toshiba replaced lamp stating usual life of lamp is 6000-8000 hrs but because of shipping & vibrations it must have failed in less than 150 hrs.
Now new good lamp blew up again in 13 months with limited usage of about 500-600 hrs instead of lasting 6000-8000 hrs AS WARRANTED.
Contacted Toshiba customer svc at 800-457-7777 spoke to several customer service reps & supervisor RICK PHILLIPS, Rick stated Lamp has warranty for 8000 hrs or 6 months & not replacing blown lamp since lamp lasted more than 6 months. This lamp lasted less than 10% of warranted life HRS & one needs to use 45 hrs daily to get 8000 hrs in 6 months. Average working family use TV for only 1-2 hrs daily. Rick Phillips could not comprehend or did not want to understand issue; He further stone walled any further escalation & refused rudely to provide any information about corporate & president's office.
After extensive research found & contacted Mr. J D Powell, Customer solution manager @ 615-257-4094 at Toshiba America Corporation, 1420 B Toshiba Dr, Lebanon TN 37087.
J D Powell stated "Toshiba did realize original lamp installed in TV was defective, so Toshiba warranted defective lamps for 2 yrs. & hence Toshiba replaced that Lamp. Now New replaced lamp has same 6 months /8000 hrs warranty. This again blew up lasting only 500-600 hrs. So technically Toshiba warranted initial pre-installed defective lamp for 2 yrs but equally bad replacement lamp is warranted for 6 months only & flatly refused replacement.
In vain, one more attempt made to contact at Toshiba Corporate HQ, Wayne NJ. Spoke to Barbara Hayes, complaint Manager @973-628-8000. Barbara Hayes is no help either. Beware Barbara Hayes & J D Powell will not return your calls despite leaving several messages so one has to be persistent.
Toshiba knows very well that this is their defective product with defective design but does not want to admit. On line research shows numerous complaints of premature lamp failure & needing replacement every 6 months and on average usage of only few hundred hrs, consistent with our experience. Other brands TV lamp will be lasting several thousands of hours as promised. Toshiba not only failed to provide reliable product but is also deceiving consumers with extremely poor customer service.
Now onwards I decided & expressed to Toshiba corporate officers as well about not to buy any Toshiba product after this traumatic experience of failing to stand behind defective product & providing pathetic customer service for DLP TV I spent several thousands of dollars.

Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-02-02:
The way it is supposed to be is that the warranty on the replacement part continues where the warranty on the original part left off, so from the point of replacement you should have 20 months remaining on the warranty for the part.
The lower limit of 6 months would be if you had less than 6 months remaining on the original warranty.
So I think that they are defrauding you.

As I have stated on here before, do not buy a rear projection TV. Not only is it a dying technology, but the inconvenience (and cost) of the bulbs dying is enough to turn me off from buying one. Only a few brands are still carrying them like Mitsubishi, and Samsung. Everyone else is embracing LCD and Plasma. OLED sets are the next big thing, but they are still too expensive right now.

i don't know if i'm the only one, but i get a little stressed out when summer comes to town. having even a few hours a week of preschool is enough to have some space and routine, and once that's over i start to worry there will be a mutiny in our house.
i've been on the hunt for some good summer activities that are super simple, don't take a ton of prep work, and don't make a gigantic mess. sounds ideal, right?
when a friend mentioned paper cities at a church activity last week, i knew this was something i could do. easy, fun, and adorable to boot.
these paper cities are printables from made by joel. i love the simple drawings and detail! made by joel has a generic city, but also has downloads for paris, sydney, and even a road trip printable. i printed them onto white cardstock and they were ready to go.
we used colored pencils for this activity. they are easier than crayons for coloring with any sort of detail, and so much cleaner than markers.
owen is definitely into coloring these days, but he still doesn't have quite the patience to color every detail or take his time to stay within the lines. but hey, as long as he's having fun and being creative, i don't mind!
henry is not quite there. i would say these activities are probably geared for 4+. or maybe girls :) henry just can't sit still that long! but, i'm glad he tried!
after coloring, i helped them cut out the buildings, people and vehicles and fold them so they stand up just right.
now i am dying to create our own version! would love to draw up some major US city skylines– San Diego, New York, Seattle, LA or even grandma and grandpas hometown, etc. doens't that sound fun?
go print your paper cities!

Staff report
The Tribune-Star
Indiana State enters the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference indoor track and field championships with two teams ranked in the top 25 of the nation, according to the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association computer rankings released Tuesday.
The Sycamore men had their highest ranking since the USTFCCCA began the ratings system in 2008 when they climbed to 20th a week ago, but Indiana State fell five spots to 25th in the latest rankings. This is the sixth straight week that the Sycamore women have been ranked in the top 20 as they moved up one notch to 17th this week.
This is just the second time since 2008 that both the Sycamore men and women have been ranked in the top 25 and the third time that the two teams have been ranked in the top 30 at the same time. The two Sycamore teams were ranked in the top 30 in the same week last year when the Indiana State men were 28th and the women 29th during Week 6 of the ratings.
The MVC indoor championships will take place this weekend at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Raindeer Meat in the freezer!
What's on your Wish list to Santa this year ?
a pistol ?
a rifle?
some gear?
who knows maybe Santa is a member or lurks here ............
Raindeer Meat in the freezer!
I believe a new Stainless Ruger GP100 4" plus a nice medium dark fancy wood grip by Hogue inside a brown leather Don Hume 711 OT or 721 OT style holster would fit very nicely beneath our tree.
I think that old fat guy with the white hair should bring one to me.
Gee that sorta describes myself!!
We got ours, it's a new computer. Wife drug it home yesterday. I would of rather had a gun but what are you going to do.
mmmmm the Socom II M14 from springfield....
or a Magpul Masada, (due out next year)
or a Walther P99
Yep that makes me broke for the next year or so...
Model: M&P340
Caliber: .357MAG/.38+P
Capacity: 5 Rounds
Barrel Length: 1.87"
Front Sight: XS Sights® 24/7 Tritium Night
Rear Sight: Integral U-Notch
Grip: Synthetic
Overall Length: 6.31"
Weight Empty: 13.3 oz.
Material: Scandium Alloy Frame/Stainless Steel Cylinder
Finish: Matte Black
Frame Size: Small - Centennial Style
Action: Double Action Only
I have been eyeing these... it would make a outstanding CCW, light, small, relible & one HELL of a punch....
Hey Lowdrift you better get a good grip on that little booger if your going to shoot .357's in it. Good luck.
Hey Charlie I am your friend will you please send your Colt to me. I'll get my dealers address ready for you. Man I can't wait. I haven't had a Colt like that in 25yrs.
Here's my Christmas wish list...
Kate Beckinsale
Springfield M1 Garand
Remington 700 5R (.308)
I'm a pretty simple guy....
"bing bang boom! hair out...hamburger time" - William Murderface
I share the desire for a Springfield M1 Garand.
But, aside from that, if money weren't an issue for anyone who might actually buy me a gift this year, I'd like:
Glock 36
Haven't decided on which AR15 I'd like, but I can work with anything
An actual holster for my G21SF, a serpa if it existed
Lots of ammo for my K31
Lots of 45 ACP ammo, too
Oh hell, gimme some .357 magnum, too
Someone to finish painting my Bersa
A nice Lee Enfield
An AK47
A soft carry bag for my Glock, doesn't have to be logo, but I'd like one with the pouch for the gun on one side and the mags on the other
Lots of mags for my Glock
And a pony.
I'd like Santa to bring me a buyer for my Buckmark and Mauser pseudo-scout, since I no longer need them and would like to reduce the herd in the safe.
I can't really think of any guns I need or want. Maybe a good scoped bolt-action .22 rifle as an understudy to my scout, but I already have a scoped .22 rifle. Maybe-possibly a Kahr PM9, if I decide to get away from belt carry and go to 100% pocket carry. But I haven't decided on that yet, and won't for some months.

My wish is easy to ask for but not so easy to give since it's basically up to me mostly. I wish for no surgery this year. If I get get my wish that will be the first year in the last four without one.
colt m4 carbine.
i got a fever...and the only cure is a m4
(too bad i dont have an extra $1500 lying around)
Not one for leagr or pricelty gifts myself. With the over-commercialization of every holiday now, I'm losing interest each yr. I am buying myself a Ruger 31 in .405 that I'll bring home a few days before Christmas. Otherwise, I am just wanting a few Ruger collectables. basically just handed the new merchandise catalog to Mrs. Claus. I've hit ebay hard with older items lately so I'm all set for now. Besides, I'm happy just seeing our son enjoy the wonders and joy of the day. It's all for him now. This year as a little something extra, besides the traditional Christmas stuff, we're heading to Disney World for a week. Land Christmas morning with lots of fun planned. It's awesome there this time of yr! We go every yr now. The little guy loves it which it all I need.
I do know a trip to the daytona 500 is awaiting me though.

Having this on-tap at the Hopleaf was a wonderful experience and compelled me to purchase a bottle for review. It poured a very handsome burnt maroon with a small tannish head that quickly retreated to only provide a nice lacing on the glass. Smell is ever so slightly tart with a nice woody/earthy background and a small note of yeast is present as well. Taste is quite refreshing and complex at the same time. Tart cherries eventually yield to a massive oakiness that lingers on the tongue. Finishes sweet. Very good beer in my opinion. On-tap was just a tad better for me, but I'm sure that was due to my surroundings and the gigantic bucket of mussels sitting in front of me.

Beautiful burgundy brown infused with ruby highlights and multitudes of streaming bubbles that form a thin but lasting head. The smell was a little sweet initially, but rapidly changes to a very winelike aroma. Flavor is great. Sourness up front, grapes and tart cherries, caramel malt backing that does't quite balance the tartness and a lingering vinous mouthpuckering semi-dry finish. Very good. The tartness builds with each beer so if you are planning on making this a session keep some palate cleanser handy.

Sampled at The Sunset in Boston.
This beer poured a clear, dark brown color with creamy, tan foam that settled flat. The smell was a modest but pleasant lightly tart aroma. The taste had a mild tartness with some fruitiness (cherries) and a bit of dried fruit. There was a hint of tangy sweetness and some sour caramel flavor in the finish. The mouthfeel was tart and crisp with medium body and modest carbonation. The flavor lingered only briefly. This was a decent Flanders Red ale, but I expected more from it. The flavor and aroma seemed somewhat muted compared to others of this style. I will have to give this one a try out of a bottle sometime soon.

Hm, reading the other reviews really makes me wonder if something was wrong with my particular bottle...
Poured a beautiful deep red with a thin lace of a head. Nose was very intriguing, notes of apple peel, grains, very fragrant. The taste followed a similar vein only to be taken by an intense sourness, not unbearable, but not particularly pleasent either.
I'll have to revisit this brew another time, I seem to be the only one with this experience.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Pours a brownish red. With a nice fluffy head. The head doesnt last as long as some, but disolves into a thin lace on top. The aroma is extremely complex. Hints of apple, sour cherries, oak, light smoke, leather, fig vinegar. Everytime you take a sniff there seems to be something different there. Taste Is seemingly as complex. Its a great blend of both sweet fruity notes with some sour cherry, vinegar notes. The taste might not be for all. At first it reminded me of the Italian tradition of having a shot of really nice balsamic vinegar after a meal. The sourness however, does not overwhelm and the beer has a nice lightly carbonated mouthfeel that keeps the sourness from becoming too much and lets the sweetness and oakiness shine through. Drinkability is good, however im sure after a number of these the acidity would play wreck havoc with ones GI tract. Overall I recomend this beer and it goes wonderfully with tart foods or foods with cherries in them.

4.45/5 rDev +7.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5
Presentation: 11.2 oz bottle poured into a Chimay chalice. (the date on the bottle said best before 17-3-06.) The beer book I have showed it in what looked like an oversized wine glass, and that was the closest thing I could find to match.
Appearance: poured a very dark reddish brown, the carbonation was spritzy. A small head formed initially then faded qickly into a lace around the edge of the glass. A small, almost clould-like puff remained in the center though.
Aroma: Very faint, what I could detect was slightly sour.
Taste: I'm new to this style, and this is easily the most complex beer I've ever tasted, so here goes. At first it is sweet and pleasant, reminiscent of cherries. Then it takes on a more sour flavor, almost like a red wine, but not quite. the finish was rather vinagery, but still pleasant. Throughout the entire time it remained very smooth and semi-sweet.
Overall: This is a beer I wasn't sure I'd like, and I came away pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure I'd want to drink it on a daily basis, but it is truly a remarkable brew. I'd rather break it out once a month or so simply to remind myself how truly complicated and different beer can be. Once you're at this point you're light years away from anything the average person imagines when they think of beer, but that's the whole point, isn't it?

pours with a light beige fizzy head that dissipates toa thin head layer rather quickly. A shower of tiny bubbles rises from the bottom of the glass constantly. It pours a deep ruby amber and leaves minimal lacing.
Very little aroma in this one but what is there sort of smells like a sweettart.
Taste is very sweet in the beginning and then turning to a sour apple vinegar to the finish. There are hints of cherry and other berries with no real hop presence.
The carbonation level is a bit soda like (extremely fizzy) with a nice medium body to the mouthfeel.
I am pretty much a newbie to this style but it is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

11.2 oz. bottle with best before date of 22-4-06.
Pours a deep red- dark copper with a large tan head comprised of big bubbles that quickly dissipates.
The aroma is very complex, very tempting. Fresh tart cherries, musty earth tones, bourbon.
Easily one of the most complex brews I've drank. Cherry juice. At first light and refreshing, I had a hard time not slamming this down. Very tangy, very sour. Even at 6.2% abv the alchohol is warming down the gullet. Slight metallic taste, but it adds rather than distracts to the beer's awsomeness. Lime. Hershey's cocoa from the tin towards the end. The finish doesn't finish, with sour malt going and going.
I could easily drink this every day, but it would be like eating steak and lobster every day. Speaking of which this beer begs to tried with a wide range of food.

11.2 oz. bottle. Still one good year left according to the BB date.
Appearance: A deep, ruddy brown beer with a course, tan head. The foam rose up easily to over two fingers and disappeared quickly. A rough ring of bubbles was left around the edge of the glass, but there wasn't much lacing at all.
Smell: There was a lot going on in the smell. Sharp, tart fruit cameto mind first. It reminded me of straight cherry juice. It had a acidic edge to it, but was sweet as well. After that initial hit, I started to notice a stong oak character, wine vinegar, and hints of Brett. Very enjoyable overall.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and slightly buttery at times in the front of the mouth. The carbonation really built as the beer sat in the mouth, until it became strong in the throat.
Taste: The first half of this beer was a combination of sweet and tart fruit, as well as a nice woody component. The tartness was not anywhere close to being as strong as I was expecting. Surprisingly light, in fact. The second half of the glass retained the aforementioned characteristics, but they became a shadow underneath a flat, astringent bitterness that clawed at the roof of my mouth. The finish was dry, with the aftertaste being a mix of sweet fruit and turnips.
The tartness just didn't seem to be there in this beer, and the astringency that developed was rough and harsh. I would like to give it a try again in the future, though.
Thanks, babydoc!

Pours out a dark reddish-brown with a nice off white head that seems to last. The smell is wonderful. Sweet, sour, balanced and simply amazing. The smell is a perfect five.
Taste is much more smooth than I expected. Cherries, wood, and a tad on the sweet side. No alcohol is present. So smooth and so balanced I am amazed this beer is aged in oak.
To be honest, I am sure there are better beers from this style. But, they are not that easily available. This is the best that I have had from this style and I can't wait to try more.

The beer poured a beautiful rich brown that let just enough light through to provide read highlights. It generated a thin tan head. The aroma is sharp and winey with an alcohol burn. The tastes starts with a wonderful tanin taste, then moves to a sweet dark berry flavor, and finally progresses into a dark tart fruit finish. The feel is smooth and creamy with a nice rounding of flavors on the tounge. An absolutely enjoyable drink and something I will have to consider everytime I go to the shelf to make a purchase.

OK, so the conundrum is...how do you review a beer fairly if it turns out you don't really care for the style? Well, that's what I had to deal with here.
I wanted to like this beer. I really did. But I couldn't get into it (I say this as I drink a stout to cleanse my palate). So, I've looked at the style attributes and I've tried to be as fair as possible.
The Duchesse De Bourgogne poured a reddish brown. The off-white head was very active, rising to the top of my goblet and staying for quite a long time. When it began to recede it left a pretty lace.
The aroma was a combination of sweet and sour, reminding me of a good raspberry sauce with hints of lemon. If that sounds out of character, then it's because I was straining to find something familiar here.
The taste was also complex. Any hoppiness was dominated by a dramatic sweetness that gave way to a tart finish...a sour character that lived beyond the swallow. However, this beer is far more sweet than sour. The alcohol, although a hearty 6.2%, was not to be tasted.
Again, it's not my cup of beer but graded by the style, I suppose it's a solid example.

Very nice deep chestnut brown color. No real head to speak of. Oakey,vinuous aroma. Makes me think of a cabernet. Raiseny like flavor. Malty upfront. Very wine like. Not overly sweet-nice balance between sweetness and a slight sourness. Good smooth body. A nice beer. Good sipping beer-not real high in alcohol but a sipper none the less.

I just drank my first Duchesse on Christmas Day 2004 and was completely excited about what I saw and smelled in my glass without even taking the first sip.
The color was a dark, velvety, burgundy brown with a large fluffy head similiar to one seen on a Beligian White.The aroma was like nothing I have ever smelled before. Sour cherries was the first thing I noticed followed by sweet cherry and orange mingled with woody earthiness. Upon taking the first sip I first tasted sour then sweet; just like the aroma.
This beer is very drinkable and in my opinion a session beer. It was sweet but not too sweet. Sour but not too sour. And the finish left my palate clean and wanting more.

I tried this at the Hopleaf, a pub on the north side of Chicago. Got it on tap, and it poured deep brown with a small head, which dissipated quickly. The aroma was somewhat fruity with a hint of hops. The beer looked hearty, but the mouthfeel was actually a bit on the thin side. The flavor was incredible. It has characteristics similar to something like a Lindeman's Kriek, but the sweetness was not as pronounced and there was more of an oak characteristic to the flavor and it tasted more "ale-like" than a sweet lambic. The finish was wonderful -- a bit fruity with a hint of cherry. Overall, an outstanding beer.

Definitely a change of pace from the everyday beer. Served in a chalice, fairly short-lasting brown-tinged head tops a dark, reddish brown beer. The first whiff has quite a bite to it. Once you get past the initial vinegarish scent, a more fruity odor dominates. The acerbic trend continues with the first sip; an almost overpowering (but not at all unpleasant) sour cherry flavor dominates. The tingling aftertaste is probably my favorite thing about this beer; think eating sour patch kids when you were younger. Not a beer I'd suggest to introduce your macro friends to the BA world, but overall a pleasant drinking experience.

I have a strange relationship with this beer. When I first tried it, as a nascent BA, it freaked me out. Tasted like vinegar. I thought it'd make a good salad dressing, but not a good beer.
The second time around, things are a bit different. Nonetheless, the beer remains, shall we say, *unique.*
Pours deep and dark with rich, crimson windowpanes. the low, tan head dissipates quickly.
Can't really pick up much on the aroma...
The taste hits big. Tart & sweet with an astringent finish. Behind the vinegary sourness there's a massive, cloying sweetness. The mouthfeel *seems* good, but admidst all the sweetness and tartness, it's difficult to notice anything else. Oh does the tartness linger...
After a little while in the glass, and a bit of warming, it seems to develop a foamy, effervescent feel in the mouth. Is it a bit salty?
In the end, all I can really say is that this beer is an *experience.* It seemed to hi every damn region of my tongue. Interesting certainly... Kinda like a Kubrick film - you know it was interesting, and you know a lot of work went into it, and it gave your brain a workout, but as to whether or not it was actually good, you don't really know...
My one major complaint would be that the sweetness of the beer was overly simplistic. I don't know if that's the result of the tartness deadening my palate, or if it's from the reported artificial sweeteners. Either way, it just seemed that it lost out on some of the subtlety that it could have had.

I had heard odes sung lovingly (if not off-key) to this brew long before I had a chance to try it (that would be you, LongBeachBum) before I got to try in in its homeland of Belgium (I definitely recommend this approach, if you can do it!). But this review is based on a single bottle I found here in the states. I was worried- was it too old? Had it been handled properly? Well, guess what- this was not a problem!!!
Bottle best-by 3/31/05. Pours a dark brown with ruby port highlights, with a medium tan head and off-white chunks of yeast that quickly dissolved. Aroma is very inviting- pretty sour (in a good way) with dark fruits that offset each other very nicely. Flavor- ohmigod! Tart and brown sugar and candied fruits and sour cherries and plums and yes, all offset by the tartness. Talk about balance! I love this stuff!
One odd notation- there was a strange pond scum effect (I assume from the dissolved yeast) that sat below the head and above the beer. Gave an unusual smoothing effect I've never experienced elsewhere. Was not a bad thing, but strange.
Overall- can I have some more, please?

From label and name a beer with great appearance. Also from beerstyle one to watch out for of course... or not?
Appearance in the glass is not exceptional, no big head and a brown, in sunlight red colour. Smell is fruity and litle sour with some oak. Taste is mild( compared to the Rodenbach grand cru) and a lot sweeter& less sour. Some oak is there but taste is mostly sweet and gets sweeter and sweeter. After drinking half a glas and reviewing it I got more and more a feeling that it was lemonade what I was tasting. Maybe a nice beer for people that start with sour beers but nothing special to me.

Dank, dark ruby with orangeish highlights around the edges. Big, almost gushing, reddish-tan head.
Smell is tart, oaky fruit (cherry?) with olives, earth, and light vinegar. Interesting. Tastes much like it smells. Lively carbonation. Sweet yet dry tart fruits (strawberry, cherry). Musty oak accent throughout. Very interesting. Finish is fruity and tart. Mama likes. Medium-bodied, high carbonation, and quite drinkable. I like this style to begin with (represented by the few samples I've had) and this doesn't disappoint. Recommended.

From a just-shy-of 12oz bottle, poured into a standard cabernet wineglass. Part of a food/ wine pairning.
Poured with a slight brown- tinged head; the beer color has a mid- caramel with red undertones. The smell itself is amazing- a hundred different smells pull you in multiple directions; you get just a hint of the fruity tartness that lies under the surface;
The sip is a little tart and malty at the same time; there's a full toffee/ caramel feel and a syrupy sensation, but none of these aspects are overdone; they are restrained just the right amount to let the dried tart cherry taste underneath through; the tartness is 'almost' masterfully balancing the sweetness; I would have preferred a hair less.
I thought this was a great beer when I tasted it alone; then I had it with food.... oh my gawd.
The meal was a pork tenderloin with a portabella/ shallot/ cream sauce (if anyone wants, beermail me and I'll share the recipie). The underlying sweetness matched nicely with the shallot/ cream sauce, and the muskiness of the beer and that of the mushrooms were perfect together; The tartness/ cherry sensation was less pronounced but still detectable with food. mmm....
anyway, overall, this is a fantastic beer. Alone, a single bottle can occupy you for an extended period of time; however, it would be tough to have more than one (kind of like very how you can only take so much rich chocolate) at a sitting. I can see how it's probably not for everybody; Definitely try it with food, especially something with cream or that has similar body.

Now this is something interesting! I completely didnt expect the flavor of this brew.
It pours a dark, deep, rich brown and red. The carbonation is extreme, contributing to a huge, soft, tan head. Amazing lace. The aroma is wild and strange both acid and sugar, yeast, cherries, smoke, berries, candy, vinegar, and countless other sensations. Wooo .the smell alone is dizzying with complexity. The taste is out of this world .sweet and sour cloying and mouth-puckering. Its a mashed-up dichotomy of unexpected flavors. Again, extraordinary strange .I can see that this ones not going to be for everyone. Thin to medium mouthfeel, with a lot of prickly effervescence. I personally didnt find it extremely drinkable .its an experience, and good (without a doubt), but its also tongue-taxing and the acidity got to me.

Had on tap at Anam Cara, and I enjoyed this one. I am liking this style! Anyway, pour when served was the dark burgundy, no head. It had a rather muted aroma, although I thought there were some kriek like notes. I found it easy to drink, more sweet than sour, with some cinnamon powder like taste and texture in the finish. I am intrigued by the sweet vs sour experiences of the other reviewers when trying this beer. Maybe it has an evil twin? I liked this, and would get again.

This came in a brown 11.2 oz bottle with a "Best Before" date of 10-11-05.
This classic Flanders Red poured an inviting brown/burgandy color with ruby tints and an off-white head
The aroma was a sweet-sour cherry and malt combination. I did pick up a little vinegar and oak.
What a great interaction of sweet malt and fruity/berry flavors with the sourness this style calls for. An enjoyable complex beer and a unique style.

Pours a deep clear mahogany with red highlights. Creamy tan head which subsides to a frothy layer and substantial creamy lacing. Rounded wine-like smell with woody tones (likely to be too sour for some). Initially soft, tart flavors which develop into a rounded fruitiness. The flavor is much more subtle than the smell would initially suggest. Very satisfying creamy smooth medium body.

Stream music from a Windows PC? (self.CrunchBang)
submitted 10 months ago by AwkwardLulz
Hey guys, I was trying to find something to stream my music collection to my crunchbang notebook. I have a Windows7 PC where I have my music collection. Recently I got a notebook, and installed crunchbang. I'm loving it. However, the disk I have is not that big, just 80GB (It's a HP 6910p). I will be buying a bigger disk eventually, so I guess I will just move my collection to this notebook as well, but in the meantime, I was wondering if there is something I could do to stream from windows to linux. I heard most people recommend spotify, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work all that well, plus, I would like to see if there are other options.
[–]johnnyhostile 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago
You can share the folder containing your music in Windows, then access it from your Crunchbang install via smb.
I do something similar for my home network, and to make connecting to the network share easier I wrote a simple bash script to do the job; all I do is run said bash script, then my network share is mounted in my home directory, and I can access it as if it were local.
[–]Penetal 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago

I recently installed Plex on my (win8) htpc and can connect to it with any browser (local or remote) and stream all my video and music without any special scripts, plugins or programs to install
It's free except for the mobile apps for android and ios (5$) and I like it better than xbmc because the web interface and just feels more polished overall
[–]AwkwardLulz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
Just tried Plex, pretty nice, I will be using this for now. Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to try the script thing and access it via smb. I am kind of a noob when it comes to linux tho, I'm just getting into it, but will definitely give that a try as well. Thanks for the ideas guys.

XBMC. Install it on both machines. Enable UPnP sharing in options.
[–]megamark16 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago
This is your best bet. Plus, you can remote control both devices from your Android phone with an app like BubbleUPnP. There are probably similar apps for the iPhone as well. My whole house runs on XBMC.
I use Skifta on both Android and iOS.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's affair with an Argentine may have exacted a personal cost and made him more vulnerable politically, but it looks as if his conduct won't cost him his job. A panel of his state's lawmakers have decided his indiscretions don't merit impeachment. —KA
ABC News:
Lawmakers were still considering whether to recommend an official reprimand.
Six of the seven panel members said they believed the events surrounding Sanford's extramarital affair involving an Argentine woman did not rise to a high enough level to warrant his removal from office prior to the end of his second and final term in January 2011.
"We can't impeach for hypocrisy. We can't impeach for arrogance. We can't impeach an officeholder for his lack of leadership skills," said Rep. James Harrison, the Columbia Republican who headed the panel.
[...] The decision breathes new life into Sanford's remaining 13 months as governor, though he still faces further legislative votes on the official rebuke. He's also the subject of a State Ethics Commission hearing on more than three dozen civil charges involving his use of state planes, pricey commercial airlines seats and campaign money.

'The only thing we ever see about her concerns Justin'. How is that true? Selena started on TV YEARS before anyone ever heard of Bieber. Wizards of Waverly Place was on TV a year before Bieber was known on the music scene. The only reason she's associated with Bieber anymore is he keeps trying crap to win her back. And the only reaso Bieber is in the headlines anymore is for all the illegal activity. Selena still has a lot of success in her future & is still a person people want to see & hear. Bieber's 15 minutes were up a LONG time ago & unless he grows up he is likely COMPLETELY done with any musical career.
I do think she's talented & will continue to have a successful singing & acting career. If that classifies me as a fan then sure. At least Selena has maturity & common sense. She's still young & will likely make some decisions that aren't the best but I don't ever see her slipping to Bieber's level. Luckily I think she has more sense than that & a better support system of family & friends.

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] officially opened its 2009 term Monday, hearing oral arguments [day call, PDF; merit briefs] in two cases. In Maryland v. Shatzer [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the Court heard arguments on whether the Edwards v. Arizona [opinion text] prohibition against interrogation of a suspect who has invoked the Fifth Amendment right to counsel is inapplicable if, after the suspect asks for counsel, there is a break of more than two years before commencing reinterrogation. The Court of Appeals of Maryland ruled [opinion, PDF] that there was no break in custody and that the Edwards prohibition against interrogation was still applicable. At oral arguments, counsel for the state of Maryland said the state's position is "that a break in custody from custodial interrogation should be the bright line that this Court adopts in order to end the irrebuttable presumption that this Court created in the Edwards case." Counsel for the US government supported Maryland's position, arguing:
This Court has repeatedly made clear that Edwards v. Arizona is a prophylactic rule designed to implement the protections of Miranda v. Arizona, and it does so by operating as an anti-badgering rule. On the facts of this case, I don't think there is any colorable argument that Mr. Shatzer was badgered into waiving his Sixth Amendment rights.
In the last 15 years, this Court ... has repeatedly stressed that a necessary requirement is that the order involved and the issues implicated be important and, particularly, that the issues be so important as to outweigh the values served by the important and usual rule of a final judgment requirement. In our view, the denial of an assertion of attorney-client privilege in an individual case does not rise to that level...
[JURIST] Hamas leaders on Monday condemned the Palestinian Authority (PA) for supporting Friday's decision by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] to delay [press release] a vote on resolution [text] adopting the recommendations of the UN Fact Finding Commission on the Gaza Conflict [official website]. The postponed resolution would have also condemned Israel for its refusal [JURIST report] to assist in the investigation, which determined [text, PDF; JURIST report] that Israeli and Palestinian forces had likely committed war crimes during last winter's fighting in the Gaza strip. Hamas leaders accused [Haaretz report] PA President Mahmoud Abbas [BBC profile] of committing treason by supporting the delayed vote and said they no longer consider him Palestinian. Hundreds of protesters gathered [Al Jazeera report] in the West Bank city of Ramallah to show their outrage for what they saw as betrayal by Abbas. Syria, also upset with the PA's decision, canceled [Jerusalem Post report] a planned visit by Abbas. Some members of the UNHRC, including the US, had asked the PA to support delaying the vote. The UNHRC will vote on the proposal in March. It is not clear whether Monday's response by Hamas will effect a reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Abbas's Fatah party announced [AFP report] in Jordan Monday and set to be signed October 26.Last week an Israeli newspaper reported that Israel conditioned [JURIST] a proposed mobile phone network in the West Bank on the PA dropping its request that the International Criminal Court investigate Israel for war crimes during Operation Cast Lead [Global Security backgrounder]. The UN commission began its field operations in Gaza in June, entering Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing after Israel announced that it would not cooperate with the investigation because it doubted the mission's objectivity, and concluded hearings [JURIST reports] in July. The probe followed a previous report [text, PDF; JURIST report], authored by UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk, which criticized Israel for failing to take adequate precautions to distinguish between civilians and combatants in their offensives in the region. Both Israel and the US criticized [DOS briefing] the report, calling the rapporteur's views "anything but fair." In April, an internal Israeli military investigation found that war crimes had not been committed [JURIST report] in the offensive despite individual reports by Israeli soldiers [Haaretz report].
[JURIST] Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan [official profile; JURIST news archive] on Sunday called for constitutional reform in Kenya before the next electoral cycle begins in 18 months. In addition to pressing for constitutional reform, Annan also said there was need for police and judicial reform. Annan's statements came during a trip to Kenya to monitor the progress of the peace deal he helped broker that resulted in a coalition government after the 2007 presidential election [JURIST report], which resulted in violent protests that left about 1,500 dead. Annan's trip comes as the US government has threatened prominent Kenyan officials with travel bans [Daily Nation report] if the pace of reform does not improve. The trip also closely follows an announcement by International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo that the ICC will prosecute [JURIST report] the responsible parties for the post-election violence, as the deadline for Kenya to establish an appropriate tribunal has lapsed.In August, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] called for an independent tribunal [JURIST report] with international support and participation because "the Kenyan judiciary lacks independence," and the necessary reforms announced [transcript] by the Kenyan Cabinet [official website] in late July would be insufficient. Also in July, Moreno-Ocampo received and reviewed a sealed envelope sent to the ICC [JURIST reports] by Annan that contained a list of suspects believed to be responsible for the post-election violence. Earlier this year, the Kenyan parliament rejected [JURIST report] the proposed document that Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki [official profile] and opposition leader Raila Odinga [campaign website] agreed to draft [JURIST report] to establish a new Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2009 [text, PDF], along with a Special Tribunal for Kenya Bill, 2009 [text, PDF] that would have set up a special domestic court to try those allegedly responsible for the post-election violence. Tens of thousands of protesters took to Kenya's streets accusing Kibaki of election fraud after early opinion polls suggested rival Odinga was in the lead.
