Pours a hazy orange-ish color with a white head. In the aroma, a small hop, but actually quite mild. In the taste, a nice bitter hop and quite malty. A bitter and medium bodied mouthfeel and a small bite and dry maltiness in the aftertaste. Very English like, kind of lame for Stone, OK nonetheless.

Wow! I got 2 bottle of this beer in the cellar and did not want to open them due to the rarity of the beer in my location. A local bar had it on tap so I had to try it. It was simply incredible. The hop character was very earthy and not as citrusy as a normal IPA. I am getting ahead of myself. It poured a nice golden hew with a minimal white head that laced all the way down the glass. The aromas that came out of the beer were fantastic. Earthy, hoppy, and some pale malt came through. Now, back to the flavors. It was a very drinkable beer for the ABV and the smoothness kept me wanting more. Hats off to Stone on their 14th anniversary beer. I cannot wait to see how it tastes in a year or two.

I had this on tap at Shady McGrady's in Harrisburg - served chilled in a snifter.
A - A peachy colored ale w/ thick bone white cap which has a creamy appearance and holds well. The bead is very fine and the clarity is translucent. The lace sticks to glass in haphazard pattern
S - The smell while pleasant is also a little peculiar with hints of pear and musty pine esters the alcohol is evident and has a mild floral/herbal element
M - The feel is good, but the fruit and tang of yeast and subtle acidic tinged hop texture shifts midway to a warming and intensely bitter sharp aspect. It isn't that I didn't expect that considering Stone Imperial IPA's but it lacks subtlety the carbonation is moderate and sweetness is low with a moderate astringency level
T - The flavor is pleasant and mildly fruit w/ notes of golden apple and pear and mild herbal English hop flavors which seem slightly piney too. The flavor gets more peppery and the alcohol gradually comes forward with a very sharp bitterness which lingers into a very dry finish. The taste is like an English ipa pushed and molded to fit the American Imperial Ipa mold, it loses some of the English character and seems salty it is so bitter toward the end
D - The drinkability is average for me - the flavors start ok, but the intense bitterness doesn't help the overall character of the beer to me. I would say give it a try, but as I mentioned in the taste it is really lacking the English character and is an American Imperial IPA in English Ipa clothes - the bitterness seems to be more the focus than actual English hop flavor

From 7/2 notes. Had on tap at the Big Hunt in DC.
a - Pours an amber, murky-golden color with 2 inches of white head and light carbonation.
s - Smells very weird. Got some earthy malts and manure. Not enjoyable at all.
t - Tastes of tropical fruits, sweet fruity hops, citrus, and floral hops.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation.
d - I thought this was a nice beer except for the smell, which was awful. I asked several other people who ordered it as well and they all agreed on the smell. Probably wouldn't seek out again.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A - Served with a hazy, yet glowing, golden body...a nice, two finger, white head...good retention and nice lacing
S - The hops (citrus and pine) are present as you would expect from a Stone beer but there is also an underlying grain and sweet malt aroma
T - The flavors are rather balanced with both the malts and hops having their time to shine...the malts have a sweet caramel flavor to them and they also give off that roasted grain flavor too...this helps knock down the bitterness from the hops...the hops present themselves as citrus first (grapefruit, orange, lemon) then the finish with a blast of pine
M - Medium bodied...moderate carbonation, dry, I think having it on tap helped
D - Being an anniversary ale I would get this one while it's still around...I was actually expecting this to be a tad more hoppy, but Stone stuck to the Queen's orders and threw in a good dose of malts

On tap at Eureka! Burger in Redlands on Tap for Steal the Glass. 14th anniversary glass.
A: Golden color. Excellent head retention. Slight head after even after a half hour.
S: Citrus, Grape fruit, malt, spice, and booze.
T: boose, malt, hops. It becomes more impressive as it warms up but if it reaches room temp towards the end it becomes more alcoholic.
M: Any thicker it would be a barleywine.
D: One bottle portion is enough.

Had this at Al's as well on draft.Super with hot wings! Simply a great beer. I find it funny that folks find it funny stone made an english Dipa! Whats it to them...but to dog this beer is just wrong(IMO). The E in Emperial is maybe for the great Empire that England once was. And can someone tell me what the hell is a cat box taste? What are you guys eating?
A- Cloudy, blonde, nice white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass.
S- citrus,grapefruit, nice pungant burst of hops
T- Grapefruit,sticky sweet, piney resins,
m- tart,nice bitterness on the palate and back of tongue
D- easly drinkin if your a seasoned IPA consumer. So good I had to take a growler home.

As an English IPA it misses the style; it is an Imperial IPA . The ingredients were English, except the treated water, but the style is Imperial as implied in the spelling Emperial which implies something different has been done.
Aroma - Hops with no detectable malt
Appearance - gold with orange tint. Little to no head.
Flavor - aroma did not mis-lead all hops. Very little malt tasted. Long aftertaste of hops a little harsh and bitter.
Texture - light body but astringent.
Overall a strong hop tonic. Never sure what "drinkability" means (Bud Light?) but one was enough.

On tap at Al's of Hampden. The very fact that Stone is making an 8+% English IPA is quite funny to me....I am sure this one will piss some folks off!
A-Bright, golden orange-copper with a thick bright white head. Head reduces slowly to a thin cap that leaves nice lace.
S-Melon rind, herbal notes, grapefruit, hint of white pepper and a touch of cat box.
T-Assertive bitterness up front with strong notes of grapefruit rind, pine melon and subtle berry sweetness. Malt body is quite light and does not do much to in an attempt to balance the hop bill.
M-Medium bodied, quite sticky and resinous. Long lasting hop bitterness.
D-Good, but this one didn't do anything to wow me. I liked the flavours and the hop aggressiveness but nothing really impressed me. A solid, yet unremarkable beer from a brewery that knows how to make quality hop bombs. This one falls a bit short IMHO.

Looks like I'm first to review it on tap! Served up at The Daily Pint in Santa Monica.
A: poured much oranger than I'd expected. A light, bright orange with a finger of white creamy head that disipated quickly and left little lacing.
S: I smell a little bit of the pine others mention, but not much grass. Some tangerine and grapefruit. Light malt.
T: strong grapefruit bitterness, very little of the pine I smelled. Not a lot of complexity, just strong bitter hops. Malts? We don't need no stinking malts! Slightly medicinal finish. Not entirely unpleasant but very strong; finish lingers and lingers.
M: medium body, slightly thin for the boldness of the taste. Carbonation balances that thinness to a pleasant, well Dundee mouthfeel anyways.
D: I'll be honest. I don't need another one. I'm fine with assertive beers, but this one felt a little one-dimensional, and infind that overpowering. My palet is amped up but is ready for... Something else.

Pour is straw gold with some hints of orange. quite hazy and thick.
Nose is surprisingly potent. Lemon, orange, little booziness, little mustiness.
Taste starts off alright, some little bursts of melon and tangerine. Follows with rather odd, dry, woody boozy malt. Really tastes like plywood in some ways. Not totally in bad way.
Feel is pretty medium full. Not syrupy.
Neat. Would love to go back in time and try it fresh to compare. Oh well. Still a decent IIPA, but clearly has fallen by the wayside and had some interesting metamorphosis go on with time.

Trying to make room in the cellar.
Pours a murky deep apricot with a foamy one inch cream head that dissipates in big bubbles, leaving thick lacing. Visible chunks are present.
Tangerine, grapefruit, and floral hops form the initial aroma. There's a confectioners sugar sweetness in the background accompanying pine, and substantial doughy malt ties things together. Surprised it's still this hoppy.
Orange, tangerine, and bitter pith flavors emerge first. Bitterness is quite high throughout. Citrus is accompanied by floral hops to dominate the profile. The finish is fairly dry and peppery. Grassy, earthy notes emerge as out warms. Caramel malt adds a substantial sweetness initially, but is dominated by hops in the finish.
Body is moderate, with spritzy carbonation and significant alcohol warmth.
More citrus character than anticipated. Very bitter.

I imagine this would have been a stunning beer when fresh and clearly Stone can't be blamed for my poor cellaring choices, but although the taste has held up remarkably well, other elements don't shine as much.
Not a visually appealing beer, as it pours a yellowish-orange with limited head and many large floating chunks. Aroma has faded remarkably, so that now hops are barely present, just the "fresh blood" copper smell that comes with their passing. However the faint citrus tang in the background hints at what must have been. The flavour still has some bitter punch and is nowhere near as simple as the aroma. Tropical fruit and citrus with a decent caramelized malt backbone and a bracing alcohol warmth fitting its 8.9% ABV
I'll state again how sad I am to have lost this bomber at the back of the beer fridge! This beer should definitely have been enjoyed fresh.

I tried this first at Stone's NYE celebration ringing in 2012. Thought it was interesting and then I saw it in a bottle at Lone Hill Liquor. Decided to grab it. Glad I did.
It should be noted that this is incorrectly labeled as an American Imperial IPA. According to the bottle this is an English Imperial IPA.
Somewhat opaque pale gold with a dense white head. Aroma is (unsurprisingly) hoppy. Mostly a perfume of flower and nectar notes with some grapefruit and lemon. Slight alcohol and biscuit. Flavor starts with white bread crust and lemon rind. Fades to bitter orange and then grassy, earthy bitterness of aforementioned hops. Feel is appropriate and finish is dry. Actually, the finish is the most unorthodox thing about this beer. The hops and malt are English, but this is more floral than I'm used to, so I view that as Stone's take on the style. The dry finish is a bit grating, the only flaw really. Definitely like this one. A different take on a tried and true style that is overlooked in the states. Glad I tried it, now I wish I had it fresh to compare.

sittin' around the cellar for some time now, I thought I would pull one of these out to see how it was doing.
audible sizzle fizz, one full finger of head (the craggy soapy kind), hazy straw color with a good amount of carbonation running through, the head settles in a hurry into your typical O-ring configuration, no lacing to speak of, minimal legs, so far this is far from impressive
piney hops with some malt backing, not too much else, I bet it has calmed down from being set down
taste etc...
for as much carbonation as seen in the glass it barely seems detectable in the sip, also, there is barely any flavor here, kind of a mild orange flavor with almost zero bitterness, there is some of the ABV felt in the gullet. This is a tamed tiger. It drinks really easy in this form but I would not recommend it to highly. This has been perfectly cellar kept since the release (no sunlight, no anything).
this one has definitely lost its punch

Poured into my Stone Imperial glass. Fire yellow orange color. Very clear appearance with a ton of large carbonation bubbles that lead to a large two finger head that is off white in color and medium creamy in appearance. Lace isn't sticking that well.
Smell is very rich in caramel malts. Sweet, some earthy aromas like grass and just a bit of bread.
Taste is on the malty side. Sweet, but not super sweet, mild caramel, light kayro syrup. Some earthy yeast or hop flavors. Some mild alcohol at the end but very mild.
Mouth is round, carbonation is rather light and creamy. Body is medium and the finish is not very long and on the weak side of wet.
Overall for this being 2+ years old I think it is still drinking pretty nice. I don't remember it having the earthy, grass tastes when it was fresh but I didn't review it then so I could be wrong. If you are sitting on some of these I don't think there is a hurry on drinking them because I don't believe this has dropped off that much.

Review from 7/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a cloudy medium orange amber. Moderate head with some lacing. Very citrusy with grapefruit and some piney hops. Moderate malt and moderate body. Finishes hoppy and bitter. A bit of an astringent aftertaste. A satisfactory IPA, but nothing really stands out. Not as well balanced as other Stone IPAs.

Down to my last 2 of a case of this one a realized i've reviewed yet so even though it's a little old here it goes.
Cloudy light gold appearance tha is actually somewhat blah for a stone brew. Big bubbled head that trails a few clumps of lace behind but nothing really special.
Faint citrus smells but maybe more like mango than strong grapefruit. Some honey sweetness appears also. Some musty earthyness also.
Taste is cloying sweetness upfront tha shows the bite of the alcohol. No fruitiness in the taste, i get more of earthy, slightly piney bitterness.
Full body on this one gives it some real meat. This is a big heavy beer.
Overall not the best of the Stone Anniversary beers but still better than most that you can get your hands on. Even the worst Stone is a treat that i will never turn down.

A cloudy, golden honey with half inch creamy white head that leaves a coating of lace.
Has the aroma of citrus and dried orange peel in a Stone snifter. There is an odd cheddar aroma and some welcome pine tar.
Opens with a big, hoppy bite and pine. The upfront bitterness is followed by honey. There is a short, pungent finish that gradually fades to grapefruit.
Full body with a velvety texture with warming alcohol about as expected. This one is very dry and a bit chalky.
This one is relatively easy to drink despite the high alcohol because is warms well. I enjoyed it with pasta but it might also pair well with reading.

Bomber poured into a tulip
Dated June 2010 (consume fresh or age in the hull of a seafaring vessel for a year or more)
I dont know about all that but Its being consumed after 19 months, recently bought of a shelf.
A- Pours incredibly hazy light orange with yellow on the edges. A nice two finger head with decent retention. (note: This beer has a lot of trub and other particles that only made it into the second pour)
S- Certainly a unique IPA. Lots of spicy dark fruits as well as citrus like grapefruit and lemon. Figs, mangoes and other oddities. Smells overly ripened and a little funky. A light caramel feel to the smell.
T- Tastes exactly like it smells. Theres a lot of old ripened fruits like grapefruit and mangoes and raisins. Light caramel, but this beer is all about the hops, and the yeast too. I think a lot of the bitter character has died with age but its still ever present here.
M- This bitter, but silky smooth IPA is a great drinker. Perfect carbonation, A full and coating mouth feel, Leaves behind a lot of bitterness. Smooth malts and a funky hop feel balance rather well. A little warming.
O- This another great IPA offering from Stone, too bad it has come and gone but it wont be forgotten. I has a smooth body, a warming feel and a hoppy funk that I have never really experienced.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled June 2010. Pours extremely hazy golden straw color with a nice 2-3 finger fairly dense off white head with great retention that reduces to a nice cap. Some decent lacing on the glass. Aromas of lemon zest, orange, herbal spices, floral, some pine resin, and light spicy alcohol. Fairly nice aromas here with good strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, grapefruit, herbal spiciness, pine resin, biscuit, honey-like sweetness; and other light fruits. Good amount of bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, herbal spice, pine, and bread on the finish for a while. Good balance of flavors and bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Nicely drinkable, but is still a bit of a sipper. Alcohol is well hidden at 8.9%; with only a slight warming on the finish. Overall, for being and DIPA, this has held up quite nicely since 2010. Nice hop flavor profile is still present; with nice flavor balance.

Poured into a Sierra Nevada signature tumbler. Label says June 2010.
A- Pours a slightly hazy light gold color with a 3/4 inch head that retains shortly before it becomes just a 1/4 inch sheer head. Melty lacing.
S- Smells funky like bleu cheese with hops in the background.
T- Highly bitter but citrusy enough to provide balance and meaning. Intense grapefruit notes abound with high levels of alpha acids. This is a hop bomb but has a crisp, fruity bite rather than an earthy, herbal one. After multiple sips, the chaos evolves into a controlled balance and becomes very easy to drink.
M- Tight, dry and snappy. Medium-high carbonation has held up well in the bottle.
O- Amazing. Cracked at the perfect time.

2 finger frothy white head on a murky golden body. Wet sock hop and lemon aroma. Some pine notes. Flavor is mostly piney hops, a little bitter. A little paper-like. The hops are subtle, more so than I expected. medium body and moderate carbonation. The flavor grows on you as you drink it. It is definitly different than I expected with a much stronger floral note to the flavor than I usually see in imperial IPAs.

1 pint 6 oz bottle poured into Duvel tulip. Marked June 2010.
Appearance - Big white foamy head with decent retention and very erratic patchy stick. Opaque yellow-orange body with tons of floating yeast nodules.
Smell - Band-Aids. Peach? Very yeasty. Cardboard.
Taste - Bitter and fishy. Some lime peel and something like yogurt and bread. Strange. Reminds me of Orval for some reason. Underlying maltiness like maple syrup.
Mouthfeel - Light-medium bodied. Good bite and mild astringency. Head offers plenty of froth.
Overall Drinkability - Complex. Different. Makes me want to travel time and have an old school IPA.

Pouring a cloudy straw-yellow haze with floating green hop chunks, Emperial IPA opens with a fruity, hoppy, effervescent nose bubbling over with not the expected pungent grapefruits and pines one would expect from a beer with, reportedly, 100 IBUs, but a floral, almost bubble-gum like sugary rosewater flair, as if rose petals and rose hips had been infused into a light grapefruit spritzer, then sprinkled with Candi sugar. Touches of toast crust provide grounding, but the beer is largely sugary in aroma, and so saturated with sugars that the bottle's mouth is sticky. The effect is enticing, but strangely so, the aromas not quite resembling those of a beer, but still delicious.
On the tongue, the beer opens with a brown sugar rush, then moves quickly into a bitter, hop-based middle, the hops providing pine and grapefruit rind, as well as lemon, dandelion stem, and eucalyptus notes. Hints of anise and pepper linger in the background, and the soft palate burns gently under the 100 IBUs. A good toast and biscuit base helps offset the sugary bitters, and brown sugars bring sweeter notes, joined by touches of orange liqueur and apricot. The aftertaste is largely bitter grapefruit and pine hops, with hints of toasted wheat stems, and lingers for some time. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium-high, adding to the burning sensations on the tongue.
Overall, this is excellent fare, though I suspect many will find the hops overpowering, especially in their tendency to reproduce stem and twig flavors, as if one was eating the plant as well as drinking the plant infusion. Still, the beer is nicely balanced, the hops providing a lovely palate of mingling and delicious flavors, and the malts bringing good fruit esters and biscuit flavors. Well worth trying, and a beer worthy of being bottled again.

Linotype Henri™ font family
Designed by Stefan Pott in 1999
Linotype Henri Dimensions, like Linotype Henri Axis, experiments with three dimensional relationships. Both typefaces are the work of German type designer Stefan Pott and represent an attempt to understand written characters in a new way. The figures of both fonts reach out from the page and give the flat surface a sense of depth and liveliness. The figures of Linotype Henri Dimensions are almost like sculptures and have a will of their own. The characters are playful and adorably awkward and at the same time heavy and relatively static, a fascinating type experiment.

So I tried to install Mountain Lion on a system running 10.6.8 while having a boot camp partition on the computer. I received an error message similar to the one described on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649
However, I do not have a large enough backup drive to completely time machine back up my entire device. I was able to back up the boot camp partition and all of my personal files, but not everything or applications, so I really am not jazzed about the idea of completely erasing my harddrive and the attempting the installation of all software from scratch. Since I could backup the boot camp partition I did so and then removed the partition from my device. Now when running the bootcamp installer it simply tells me that my disk cannot be used to start up the computer. Otherwise my computer is working fine. Any thoughts anyone of how to fix this short of reformating my entire drive?

A 24 Cup Perspective: The Montreal Canadiens "Un-Bandwagon"
By Matt Eichel ,
Every spring, fans from all around the NHL, who may not have their favourite team in the postseason dance, may jump on what many refer to as a "bandwagon" and carry on with that team until their demise. Maybe, they pick up another team on the way too.
It seems that every spring though, with the demise of any team, there becomes what I like to call an "un-badwagon".
Simply put, it's the opposite of a bandwagon. It's where fans get off the bandwagon and start trashing the team that they had such high hopes and aspirations for.
And in Montreal, despite the faithful 21,273 fans that have passed through the Bell Centre gates for 85 games since October, they have expressed their interested in being "un-bandwagoners".
Booing the American national anthem is by far no means of showing they are trashing their team. It shows no class for whining about not winning in their previous seven playoff games.
But leaving the stands before the game is over and not seeing their team out to the end only brings about signs for an "un-bandwagon".
As both BR senior writers Revo Boulanger and Miah D. expressed, their distaste at fans leaving the Bell Centre stands in Game Three amongst many still proud and young fans, the sad fact is that many fans do not understand how to be truly loyal and patient.
For Canadiens fans, who in the past have been accustomed to winning seasons and long playoff runs deep into May and June, the last sixteen years has been arduous and, at times, frustrating.
As for the "un-bandwagon", sure it happens to every team. But when it is the Montreal Canadiens, it seems more people jump on the "un-bandwagon" to revel in the Canadiens demise than were even cheering for the Canadiens in the first place. Watching a 24-time Stanley Cup champion crash and burn, and in their Centennial season no less, has become the ultimate "un-bandwagon".
With the booing of the national anthem and the poor play of the Canadiens combined, the "un-bandwagon" has become something pretty formidable. For a Habs fan, it turns into a bitter taste in the mouth knowing that not only is it ridicule time, but it's time for a long summer.
I bet St. Louis Blues fans aren't going to get ribbed. But wait, they didn't have their Centennial season this year.
This playoffs is a hard pill to swallow. One thing is for sure.
I will never be on the Canadiens "un-bandwagon".
You can read Miah D's article here.
Matt Eichel is a Community Leader for the Montreal Canadiens here on Bleacher Report along with Miah D. and Daniel Arouchain. Matt also co-hosts Habs All Out Radio, a in-depth talk radio show devoted to all things Montreal Canadiens. It airs weekly at www.youcastr.com/shows/habs-all-out and is hosted by Matt and Miah.

Wacom Tablet Advice
So I am putting a tablet on my Christmas list after hearing such great things about them and my PS workload increasing. Plus I figure it will make a nice addition to CS4 that should arrive tomorrow!
Anyway, I am just not sure what size to go with. My first manly instinct said to go big or go home and get the 9x12, but then I thought well, maybe the 6x11 would be fine and I have even heard a lot of people say smaller is better (for tablets of course) So I am just wondering who is using what and how happy with the size you have. (again your tablet) Thanks in advance! Cheers

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
I want a bigger one. I have the Graphire 4 and it is to small. I have to blow up the picture farther than I like to to have the control I want. I see it as....lets say, a target. Do you want a 6 inch target or a 12 inch target. As the tablet defaults to screen = tablet, meaning the top left corner of the screen is the top left corner of the tablet...etc...etc... the smaller the tablet the less "resolution" you will get. An 1/8th inch move on the 6 inch target is the same as a 1/4 inch move on the 12 inch target. Wich do you think is more accurate?
But when it comes down to it I want the 12 inch Cintique!!!
Keep in mind "Its not the camera, its the photographer" works just as well for bad pictures as it does for good ones. www.the6by6frame.wordpress.com |

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
The 9x12 is huge. I have the 6 x 11. It replaced my 6 x 8 Intuos 2. I like the widescreen format, and I prefer a larger tablet since I tend to use more sweeping gestures (like drawing) rather than just my fingertips. I also have space for it, on a nice sized pull-out keyboard tray under the desk. It's a very comfortable setup.
If you like smaller movements and/or you're not doing much in the way of big brush strokes, the smaller tablet should be fine. Bigger isn't always better. I know many people who are ecstatically happy with the little 4x6. |

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
I've got a 4x6 Intous3 and it's great for my needs. It's my only input device other than the keyboard.
I'd suggest you check out the options as the larger the tablet the more key options you have and I find I would use more keys if they were available. The smaller size is still a big factor in my decision. |

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
An easy one to answer, get the largest tablet you can afford.
I have a Graphire4 that's probably a good couple of years old by now which has given good performance and I'm happy with. Being one of the smaller models (approx. A5-ish) it also fits quite nicely on my desk. Based on my experience though, when it eventually gets replaced I'll certainly go larger for greater control, most likely A4; As much as I'd like an A3-sized tablet the cost will be a bit too stressful on my wallet and I'd have trouble finding the necessary desk space. The bigger tablets also have more levels of pressure sensitivity giving even greater precision over the smaller versions.

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
Just to clarify, Spoof. The specs are exactly the same for every size of Intuos3 tablet. The pressure sensitivity is 1,024 for all of them. Same for resolution, data rate, and accuracy. So don't think you have to buy big...the only difference is size. And price.

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
Size can be optimum at smaller than max. Desktop size, total use, and preferences would dictate the optimum size for each user. In my case I tried a larger tablet and found it was more difficult to use, involving more large arm/hand movements than the smaller tablet. All the Intous3 tablets appear to have the same pressure sensitivity and resolution. Does anyone other than Wacom make a tablet? Here's an About article on tablets. |

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
To clarify what my text didn't make clear, is that the comparison I was making was with Graphire (smaller) vs. Intuos (larger), rather than Intuos vs. Intuos.
Levels of pressure sensitivity notwithstanding, a larger tablet gives an increase of pen-to-surface resolution (i.e. finer control) without having to zoom in software to achieve the same effect; this is the main reason to go big, along with bragging rights Or to look at it another way, an extreme example would be to try to use Photoshop with a tablet that has the same surface area as a postage stamp - assuming a 1:1 tablet to screen mapping then the lack of resolution (and control) is easily observed as moving the pen just an inch would launch the cursor across the entire screen.

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
I just wanted to bring up one point. The Intuos tablets can be re-mapped to smaller sizes. I can map my 6x11 to a 4x6 active surface area (or less, if I choose to). So anyone with a tablet larger than 4x6 can make it a 4x6 at any time. You are not "stuck". But a 4x6 is forever a 4x6. |

Re: Wacom Tablet Advice
I use a 4x5 and have it mapped down to about one-fourth that size. Here's the re-mapping from the Wacom dialog box. That little red rectangle is the active area -- about 6 square inches. The upshot is that Pam works on about 10 times the area that I work on ... and we're both happy. So, it's worth your while to think carefully about the size that will suit your needs.

I had a larger one years ago and thought it was too big. I have not had a tablet for about 3 years and am getting a 4x6 for my birthday in two weeks. It's already bought just waiting for my birthday to roll around. I hope I like the smaller size, I think I will. It's just sitting there on my table, unopened, taunting me every day...

Kalliope Gourntis in New York
Taxpayers will have to get used to automatic exchange of information as standard, if the G20 get their way.
Pascal Saint-Amans, the head of tax at the OECD, believes the world is coming together over the issue of the automatic exchange of tax information.
"The US is already there with FATCA," said Saint-Amans, the director of the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (CTPA) when he briefed journalists during the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Washington, DC last week. "We're back to the level of pressure we had in 2009 when G20 countries said 'Enough with bank secrecy'. They now want to take this a step further with the automatic exchange of information."
Angel Gurría, the OECD secretary-general, presented the Organisation's progress report on automatic exchange of information to the meeting on Friday. The response of the ministers and governors to the report suggests Saint-Amans is right.
"We welcome progress made towards automatic exchange of information which is expected to...

From OpenWetWare
To Do List
- Figure out the MATLAB memory leak
- I suspect this is because I'm not closing the image files properly in the MATLAB script that runs, or it could be something more annoying.
- Change the code so that when flipping based on the CFP it is the moving average that is used, rather than a single image.
- Sortostat/Foundry report card - post notes on each chip fabricated so can document common failure points in fabrication to better avoid them.

Duce's Wild: Technology helps Sunday School teachers prepare students for spiritual warfare
Technology has changed the nature of war in more ways than one.
My younger brother is an Army captain currently serving in Afghanistan. I was with his wife recently when they were video chatting — a daily ritual that is making his third military tour less distant and yet, more emotionally difficult at the same time.
On a recent Sunday morning, she carried her smartphone around with Daddy on the screen as she helped her three little boys get ready for church. Then they all gathered for a prayer and watched as he prepared for his own worship service.
When it was my turn to talk to my brother, I asked about his upcoming two-week leave in which he'll make the long journey to Salt Lake City to reconnect with family. I asked if his soldiers would be lost without him, to which he replied, "If you're a good leader, then they do just fine when you're gone."
My thoughts immediately turned to my Sunday School class in Montana. That morning, my students would be led by a substitute teacher and I had another surge of appreciation for the new youth curriculum of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "Come, Follow Me," because I knew they would be fine without me. And by fine, I mean they would have a productive, educational, scripture-based lesson that made the most of their hour together.
Before I left town, I prepared my materials as I always do and asked an 83-year-old sister in my ward to lead the group of teenagers. She was more than thrilled at a teaching opportunity since she's still very young at heart.
She took my bag filled with the kids' Sunday School journals and the lesson materials she would distribute. I explained that the students would take it from there as they had all year long and that she should prepare to share her testimony on the topic in whatever fashion she chose.
The next Sunday turned out atypical as well. As we gathered in my corner classroom, my Sunday School president appeared, reminding me that our quarterly in-service meeting for youth teachers was happening during that hour. Since I had been gone the week before, I didn't know about the meeting. He suggested my teen students attend the adult gospel doctrine class instead.
Immediately, a chorus of students responded, "We'll teach each other." "Pass around your cards." "We can do this without you." "Do you have all our stuff?" "We know what to do."
So I trusted them and warned that Sunday School "hangman" was not an acceptable form of sharing testimony. One girl jumped up to write our "deep thought" on the chalkboard; another passed around the journals; another distributed teaching materials; and another started cutting the brownie treats I'd baked and brought.
The priests, who had been cleaning sacrament trays, were arriving to class as I was leaving and were gobbled up by bossy girls giving assignments, which gave me just enough confidence to shut the door behind me.
Our in-service meeting went well and we spent most of our time problem-solving various issues related to using video clips during lessons. We determined it was better to download rather than rely on the building's Internet connection for live steaming; we decided that it wasn't tragic if students were watching the same video clip during the same month in different classes; we agreed that as teachers, we would have more plan Bs if the kids said, "We watched that last week in Young Women"; and we decided that it was more important to pray for inspiration when preparing the lesson rather than plan, calendar and coordinate video offerings between teachers.

Institute of Noetic Sciences
11 New Sustainable Lodges – Petaluma, CA
This project began at Healthy Buildings Technology Group and will be built with Healthy Buildings Construction Group in the lead!
In 1971, Edgar Mitchell took an amazing journey to the moon. Yet it was on the return trip, as he viewed planet Earth, he made his true discovery. An inward journey which formed a vision, and manifested itself as the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973.
This vision has grown over the last 40 years… and now it seeks to grow again.
Aligning with Healthy Buildings was a natural progression in the evolution of the IONS vision. HBUSA is a fully integrated design,construction and project management company whose inner focus and outward sustainable practices will help to complete our present and future vision.
In Phase I, this exciting journey will begin with providing 11 new lodges; comfortable and inviting residences for our visitors to relax and take their personal journeys. Recognizing the important needs of the land and its people, the waste management system will be transformed into one that will reuse wastewater and provide lasting water solutions for the next 40+ years.
In Phase II we will embark on visioning the full scope of the campus to provide a world-class education, research and healing center where opportunities for human consciousness evolve. Reaching out to the world requires new paths to be forged. We may bring more activity to EarthRise through the addition of a state of the art research center and a community teaching facility. In all cases, improving the existing buildings for energy consumption and efficiency.
The future vision of the IONS campus is one of allowing the dream to become a reality and creating the most sustainable educational/spiritual campus in the world.

Culinary Institute of America at Greystone
Vineyard Lodge Expansion – St. Helena, CA
The CIA's Vineyard Lodge Expansion is now complete and fully occupied by 60 new culinary students from all across the country. Healthy Buildings is proud of the finished product, and even more proud to have been involved in the construction of one of the few LEED® rated dormitories in the country. The Culinary Institute was adamant about building a dormitory that had as little impact on the environment as possible. The partnership with Healthy Buildings as Project Manager, LEED® Consultant and General Contractor was a successful relationship for all.The Vineyard Lodge is a prime example of how smart decisions about building, and experience in building green can result in a high performance building with little added cost over conventional construction. The total energy savings at the Vineyard Lodge is a result of combining both high tech and low tech building solutions. Some high tech systems that contribute to the overall building performance are an 18KW Photovoltaic System, which provides 30% of the building's energy; a highly efficient Solar Hot Water system, which during clear days provides 100% of the dormitory's hot water needs; and a high efficient and programmable VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) HVAC system. Other more low-tech, but equally important, elements are Passive Heating and Cooling, i.e. building orientation and increased glazing; using a light colored roof; and increasing insulation throughout the living areas and attic.
Healthy Buildings would like to extend its thanks to The Culinary Institute for pioneering such a successful project and helping to advance sustainable building in the Napa Valley.
Gasser Solar / Napa, CA
The Gasser Solar installation was part of an overall building performance upgrade for the Napa-based Gasser Foundation's office building. Prior to the installation of the photovoltaic system, various energy efficiency measures were implemented such as the installation of improved insulation, occupancy sensors and the application of a solar film to the windows. These improvements to the building shell resulted in a reduction in the size and cost of the photovoltaic system needed. After a lengthy vetting process, we chose Borrego Solar to install a 115 kW system which served to offset almost all the building's electrical usage. To achieve a system of this size, an elevated rack system on the roof and three cantilevered carport structures were installed, supported by singular steel posts as opposed to dual posts which are more commonly used.
Vineyard Residence / Sonoma, CA
Completed in 2007, this project serves as an excellent example of Healthy Buildings' integrated design approach which resulted in a near zero energy custom single family home. The slab on grade foundation was used as the finish floor by scoring and staining it in an attractive pattern. In addition, hydronic heating was used in the slab to efficiently warm the house throughout. The structural frame is a hybrid of ICF's (Insulated Concrete Forms) in the below grade section of the home and light gauge steel framing above grade. The open space plan and large glazing areas with protective overhangs all contributed to this high performance residence.
Valley Oak Villas / Napa, CA
Valley Oak Villas, made up of 46 units in the Westwood neighborhood of Napa, was conceived in 2003 as a multi-family project to push the envelope of sustainable design. In 2003, LEED® for Homes did not yet exist and Build It Green™ was in its infancy. However, these two models did provide enough of a framework to allow us to determine the direction of green building technology and create a sustainably-designed and thermally-comfortable building. The project was designed as workforce housing to provide entry level homes for first-time homebuyers. Our efforts to make an attractive, livable and environmentally-friendly community paid off and the project was named one of the Top 15 Best Neighborhoods by Solano Magazine. The Green Affordable Housing Coalition also developed a case study about the project, available at the following website: Green Affordable Housing Coalition – VOV Case Study
Presbyterian Church Headquarters / Napa, CA
After considerable searching, the Northern California Headquarters of the Presbyterian Church decided to build its new headquarters in Napa. Their goal for the buildings was a sustainable, healthy workplace that would be a showcase for members throughout the Presbytery. We took on this challenge in 2004 and built a structure that was framed in panelized light gauge steel comprised of 40% recycled content with a concrete finish floor and countertops. Other notable features included one of the first uses of Pex plumbing in the Napa Valley and two coat EFIS and fiber-cement cladding. The only timber wood used in the building was the characteristic Craftsman entry elements, which partially included recycled lumber from a prior Healthy Buildings' project.
Durand Drive / Hollywood Hills, CA
Durand Drive was constructed in the mid-1990's as a speculation house, located near the Hollywood Sign in the Beachwood Canyon section of Los Angeles. This was the first project where we made heavy use of structural steel with a high-recycled content. The project's most visible feature is that it is a "stilt house" and truly has a very small building footprint. This type of hillside construction, pioneered by Architect John Lautner in the 1960's, involved very little earthwork. Two features are notable with respect to this project. First, the entry door and the large living room fireplace are clad in copper which was recaptured from old water tanks from the industrial section of Los Angeles. The second notable feature is that within weeks of completion, Los Angeles was hit by the 1992 Northridge earthquake, a 6.8 trembler whose epicenter was less than ten miles from this home. The new owners were sound asleep when the earthquake hit in the early morning hours. They were pleased to report that the house rocked considerably on its stilt foundation, but the home experienced no damage.
Bluewater Drive / Malibu, CA
The Bluewater Drive project was comprised of two high-end custom homes, built on speculation, in the early 1990's. The challenge here was to design and build two relatively large custom homes (+/- 4500 square feet each) and yet still keep sustainability as a goal. The core design element was to site the homes in such a way as to take advantage of early morning warming sun and cooling afternoon breezes. The thermal mass of the concrete floors and the positioning of the large north-facing and smaller south-facing glazed surfaces also helped to maintain thermal consistency throughout the house.
Holy Cross Medical Center / YMCA Child Care Center / Mission Hills, CA
Holy Cross Medical Center, a regional medical center located in Mission Hills, California, required allowances for future expansion, leading to the design of relocatable buildings. The operator, the YMCA, wanted a healthy building since this +/- 10,000 square foot structure was designed primarily as a childcare center to service infants and toddlers. As a result this project, built in the late 1980's, was a catalyst for expanding our knowledge of healthy materials and methods of construction. It also presented challenges for thermal performance due to the very hot climate of its West San Fernando Valley location. Indoor thermal comfort was achieved using a high performance building envelope and continuous overhangs to provide shading. Almost twenty years later the project continues to perform as designed and still operates as the YMCA's local center serving children and their parents.
Passmore Drive / Hollywood Hills, CA
Passmore Drive started as a custom home, built on speculation, and was purchased in mid-construction by a movie producer. A three-story residence on a down slope, the challenge here was to finish the home with many wood features, as per the buyer's request, while staying away from non-sustainably harvested woods. Built in the mid 1980's, before FSC or SFI lumber, the solution was to use recycled hardwood (oak), in this case recaptured from the demo of an old whiskey barn in Virginia, and softwood (mahogany) purchased from an old ship yard in San Pedro.

Titles similar to Want to Be in a Band?
Instead of taking the typical here's-how-it's-done route, this inventive picture book uses the concept of forming a band to convey a surprisingly wide-reaching story of sisterly love. The narrator offers amusingly specific instructions to the reader (represented in the story by a ponytailed little girl): "First, you'll need two interesting, smart older sisters who can play guitars and sing." Got it? What's so genuine about this semiautobiographical tale (Roche was part of the indie-folk outfit the Roches for 30 years) are the realistic temporal jumps: "Now you can let a couple years go by." The three sisters get older and graduate from living room shows to street corner performances to music clubs to international tours, all the while having fun and, of course, bickering. "Oh, and try to be gentle with each other. After all, these are your dear sisters." Potter's folksy, weird-angled watercolors at first seem an odd fit for the let's-rock material, though as the sisters age, these illustrations become increasingly poignant. A totally unique angle on a timeless theme.
