What an extremely accurate name. Its nutty, but the aftertaste is a bit sweet, almost like a hint of honey, making it a perfect complement for some fiery wings or even some of the sweeter flavors of wings available at some pubs. Carbonation is a bit higher than average, but its pretty well balanced with the taste. Mouthfeel is extremely smooth, before I even finished my first bottle I was thinking about picking up another.

Pours with almost no head. The beer itself is a very deep, dark red color.
The nose is buttery and sweet. You can certainly tell that this is contract brewed by Shipyard.
The beer itself is surprisingly bitter, this bitterness lingers quite a long time on the tongue and is accompanied with an unpleasant astringent taste. It almost seems like there is some burned flavors here, not particularly tasty.
This is not a beer I would ever purchase again.

I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was a nice amber color and it smelled really good. I had high hopes for the beer. The beer had a nice bready smell however the taste was just not there. Watery weak coffee hit. Lacing was good but that's about all the good I can give it. No nut did I get!. I will not buy this beer again.

Pours a clear reddish brown with a one finger dull white head that fades slowly into a thin cap with moderate lacing.
Aroma is weak with slight hints of caramel and light malt.
Taste starts with a slight hop bitterness, then balances with a slight caramel nutty flavor and light malt.
Mouth Feel is light body with moderate carbonation, thin with a crisp ending.
Overall this is an average beer that taste OK, with nothing that really stands out to make me want to buy it again.

My favorite out of the 12 pack sampler that I purchased. I always saw Peak Organic on the shelf but was never inclined to throw it in the shopping cart. With my budget a little tighter now than years past, I tend to search out reasonably priced twelve packs instead of pricey six packs. Peak Organic is a great tasting beer at a reasonable price. I would definitely purchase again although I just snagged the Magic Hat Summer Scene sampler for a little variety.

12oz bottle, one of the selections in a mixed 12-pack currently available north of 49, in Alberta, at least. I'm becoming increasingly suspicious of American craft offerings that give no shrift whatsoever to marketing descriptions on their labels. Odd, and strangely hypocritical, yes, but true all the same.
This beer pours a clear, dark brickish amber colour, with two fingers of bubbly, tightly foamy pale beige head, which leaves a few tiny specks of islet lace around the glass as it hastily sinks away.
It smells of caramelized bready malt, a thin generic nuttiness, very vague and misdirected cocoa notes, and weirdly herbal, earthy hops. The taste is mildly toasted bready malt, middling, but still prominent caramel notes, stale mixed nuts, a bit of bland store-brand tea, and staid herbal, dead grassy hops.
The bubbles are a bit peppy at first, but die down quite soon, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth in a rather unobstructed manner. It finishes off-dry, with just the malt - so ineffectual (thank you, Mr. Graffin from the mp3 list), and the hops hardly capable of taking any sort of due advantage.
Another offering from this brewer that implies lazy shortcuts and a dumbed down target audience. The nuttiness of the title is just too understated, and the whole affair is altogether restrained, too afraid of putting it all out there for the world to see, becoming nothing more than a mote in the proverbial dust in the wind.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
A: Pours a very clear reddish-brown color. A half-inch of creamy tan head settles into only a thin slip. A thin blanket of lacing coats the entire glass.
S: Thin caramel, tea-like hops, hint of lemon peel, touch of cocoa, vaguely fruity, lightly buttery. Not particularly aromatic or memorable.
T: Thin tastes of toffee, molasses, and caramel. Strong hit of herbal and tea-like hops. Buttery ringwood taste. Hints of cocoa barely pull through. Perhaps a light kiss of smoke. Slight toasted bread crust. Rising hop bitterness. Finishes with toast and crust and a gritty, earthy hop bitterness.
M: Medium bodied. Low carbonation. Smooth and creamy.
O: I haven't had this beer in years, but this is not at all what I remember. It's oddly hoppy and bitter, with what tastes like a strong noble hop presence. This hop presence is at odds with the buttery house ringwood taste. But the biggest problem is that it's desperately in need of a beefed-up malt bill. There just isn't enough backbone to hold everything together.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best enjoyed before April 2013.
A: Pours a clear copper with a 1 finger. Head sticks around for a minute before dissipating to a thin film. Leaves a little lacing on the glass.
S: Similar smell as the other Peak Organics in this mix pack. It is a soapy bittering hop
T: Good nutty taste with a backing of crisp hops. Has a sweetness to it as well as carmel. Could drink a few of these in a row.
M: Light body with a decent amount of carbonation. Pretty crisp finish.
Overall this a tasty one and probably my favorite in the mix pack I got. Could use some more body but it is one you can sip on all afternoon.

This is a poor example of Nut Brown Ale. It is watery, flat and has no body. It is very similar to Trout River Scottish Ale which is the worst dish water (not worthy of being called a beer) known to man. At $10.00 @ six pack, I can think of a whole bunch of better ways to use 10 bucks. The take away here is that there is a lot of room to start a micro brewery because this sucks!. This is lousy and there are better ways to make a quality beer.

Poured into a Magic Hat #9 pint glass. Notches on label indicate best enjoyed before February '13.
A- Pours a light brown color with a 1/4 inch off-white head that retains decently before becoming a thin ring around the glass's edge and a solid, thick sheet of surface foam. I like that the head sticks around throughout almost the entire drink.
S- Light toasty aroma with a (surprise surprise) nutty quality. Mostly hazelnut and pecan. Also a bit of milk chocolate sweetness and a tinge of hops.
T- Toasty malt hits the palate smoothly with some hop bitterness and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Has a slight glassy taste as well. Pretty standard brown ale flavor profile. Not as much nuts as in the aroma.
M- Kind of tight with medium carbonation and a body that's pretty middle-of-the-road for the style.
O- I think the only drawback to this beer is that there's nothing overly exciting or impressive about it. That being said, it's a decent session ale and one of the better organic offerings I've had.

This beer poured a relatively light brown shade, a bit translucent, its head was there and then it was gone. It did not over power you with its scent but there were some nutty, burnt brown sugar notes, just not many. Taste was solid. Again, nothing overwhelming here, but some coffee and some dry bitter sweetness can be detected. Mouthfeel was on the dry side, it did not leave any lingering aftertaste either. Overall, this is a solid English Brown, and can be easily drunk.

Poured from 12oz bottle into a dimpled mug.
Appearance: medium amber-brown hue with a thick finger of frothy tan foam atop. Head didn't have much retention or lacing qualities. Decent.
Smell: caramelly, nutty aroma. This bad boy is all-malt; no hops to speak of. Sweet, but not overly so; it's a pretty well balanced brown ale in my opinion.
Taste: sweet and caramelly with a little hint of biscuit. There's also a tiny hint of smokiness which I really like. Kind of an interesting character; it seems pretty true to the style. Not a bad brown ale at all.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a decent carbonation and an OK creaminess. Not the best, but not bad.
Overall: actually a pretty tasty and successful nut brown ale. I'd have this again.

12oz Bottle from the Ottawa LCBO for 2$
Appearance - Clear brown colour with an average size fizzy beige coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation and there is some faint lacing. The head lasted for around 2-3 minutes.
Smell - Malts, caramel,chocolate
Taste & Mouth - There is an above average amount of carbonation and I can taste light hops, malts, and caramel. There is also some chocolate and a light smokiness. It ends with a malty sweet aftertaste with a bit of lingering smoky bitterness.
Overall - Perhaps a little too bitter to be really sessionable, but still pretty tasty. I won't rush out to get more but I'm glad I gave it a shot.

A - pours a light to moderate brown with a half of an inch of dense, foamy, brownish head that has decent retention

M - smooth, dry, well carbonated, medium bodied
This is a decent beer, but it's a bit dry which effects the flavor and the drinkability. For those getting into the style or are new to craft beer, this would be a good offering.

Reviewed from notes.
A. Clear reddish brown color with a single finger of head with average retention and lacing levels.
S,T. Mostly about the sweet lightly toasted malts with a modicum of nuttiness and garnishes of herbal hopping. Nothing fancy worth writing home about, but it certainly does the trick.
M. Slightly thin for my tastes but otherwise good enough in carbonation.
Another beer from Peak that does nothing in particular special other than having been competently made and "organic."

A: Light brown ale with slight reddish tints, and just barely translucent. The head is small, slightly off-white with moderate retention and some slight lacing.
S: Sweet and malty, and (unsurprisingly) nutty. Not an overly complex smelling beer, but nice and pleasant.
T: Grainy, with a malt sweetness which brings some toasted malts and caramel and an herbal hop finish. Overall the taste seems a little dull and watery, and the flavors, though good, are not strong enough.
M: Moderate body and carbonation.
O: A decent beer, not great. It has some good flavors that just come through as being rather muted. I wish the maltiness was more potent.

This beer was a brown/red with a white head.
The smell was of sweet malts and nut not overly strong.
The taste was of malts and a little bit bitter.
There was a little carbonation and a smooth medium body.
Overall a decent enough beer but not very exciting.

Peak Organic Nut Brown Ale is a clear, sparkling copper ale with a lumpy beige head that has outstanding retention and lacing. The aroma is mostly sweet malt and caramel with a sharp grassy note. It's medium bodied and foamy with a very dry, slightly abrasive finish. There really isn't much flavor. There is a little malt that's almost sweet and a hint of bitterness at the finish. The aftertaste is nutty and chocolatey. It's not a very exciting beer, but not unpleasant at all.

T: The overall taste is very similar to the smell and also has
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit thin on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.

Had it out of 12 oz. iced bottle.
Looked bronzish brown in color, basically opaque, with a bubbly head and lace.
Slight malt and soap (?) scent.
Crisp, thin, almost...watery, which is probably a sin for a beer. Not much in the way of flavor. It's just tastes too "clean" for a beer. Slight smokeyness to it and malt in the back of the mouth.
I would only drink another if all other choices were Bud or something of the same ilk.

A dark brown color with slightly yellowed edges with a decent egg shell colored head and speckled lacing. The aroma is a malty, nutty vanilla and thick brown bread. Much stronger than expected and pretty good. The taste offers thin charcoal molasses with raisin brown bread and pear. I pick up some sour fruit as well. It's on the acqueous side, light to medium bodied with very fine carbonation. This is a somewhat gutsy brown ale while being plenty drinkable. I've grown a bit weary of this style as a general rule, but this wasn't bad.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass, the beer is a dark auburn-brown coloring, vibrant and crisp, with no head. Aromas are rich and bready, with strong caramel, nut, and molasses characteristics. Very inviting nose. Flavors are roasty, with nut and toffee profiles, and a hint of dark roast coffee. The body is very light and crisp, with a hazelnut flavor creeping in. Good, clean, crisp finish. Very easy to drink, and very tasty.

Poured into a pint glass. There is a nice clear dark amber-brown color. There is a nice two inch foamy head that leaves a bunch of sticky lacing.
The aroma has some sweet caramel and some toffee and maybe some of that nut that was advertised. I detect a touch of fruity yeast as well.
The taste starts out with a malty front with some slight toffee and some cocoa. The finish is a bit tangy.
This is medium bodied with lots of carbonation.
I like this one. It's a solid brown ale. Peak Organic continues to win me over..

I am hoping someone can help me.

I have read many things regarding converting Word to html and pretty much all of it involves going into Word and saving as html or importing a Word doc into Dreamweaver. These are not options due to the nature of the website. The file/character manipulation MUST be done on the fly. Any ideas would be gratefully received!
Hi all - I am new to posting on Webmaster World although I have been browsing the forums for years!
I use a form with multipart/form-data to upload text (probably Word but do not want to restrict to just .doc) documents - and add data to the database.

Vision for eye care centre
Minister of Health Donville Inniss. (FP)By Mike King | Sat, December 08, 2012 - 12:07 AM
The infrastructure of the multi-million-dollar Lions Caribbean Eye Care Centre should be completed by March and according to Minister of Health Donville Inniss, the entire facility should be completely and "fully functional" soon after.
Inniss gave that assurance after touring the five-storey centre alongside Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) officials, representatives of the European Union (EU) and the media yesterday.
Construction of the cardiac suite on the first floor is being done with the help of a $5 million grant from the European Development Fund while the air conditioning component for the first floor (cardiac suite), second floor (eye clinic) and third floor (eye surgery) is estimated to cost $6.5 million.
The air conditioning system for the lower ground floor, the Accident and Emergency department, will cost another $1.5 million.

Wateriders' experienced and knowledgeable guides have been leading relaxed kayak tours down Chicago's picturesque waterways since 1997. Day and night tours explore the city's most exciting attributes, focusing on history, architecture, and eerie mob chronicles as guides provide paddling instruction and share true tales of Al Capone's mythical collection of tracksuits. Wateriders also rents its kayaks to independent paddlers who prefer to discover Chicago's sights on their own.
Ian Jacobson, the founder of Chicago SUP and Wakeboard Chicago, grew up on the Lake, and started his board-top paddling program after his passion for the sport ignited during a trip to Hawaii. His love for the low-impact activity also feeds his interest in its safety; as he spreads awareness of the sport, he makes sure customers know when it's safe to venture out into calm or choppy water. His passionate team gathers a range of paddling certifications, such as ACA and WPA, and many staffers are equipped with official training in first aid and CPR as well as unofficial training in blowing bubbles. Some of the team honed their boarding skills on the waves of California and Hawaii, and several boast a background in stand-up paddleboard yoga and fitness instruction.
Dubbed "the epicenter for the paddle community in Chicago" by Chicago Now, Chicago SUP ignites Jacobson's passion for the sport of standup paddleboarding in others with rentals and instruction atop calm waters boasting sweeping skyline views. As shoulders, backs, and arms work to propel the boards forward under his instruction, the core engages to keep balance on the board, resulting in a full-body workout enlivened with the pleasure of sunny skies and the thrill of submarine sightings in Lake Michigan. The company was featured on NBC Chicago's 1st Look and in the Chicago Tribune, grabbing Jacobson attention for pioneering the relaxing full-body workout in the Midwest, as well as for their innovative board-top yoga classes (SUPyo) and SUPFit classes. In the 2013 Expedition Paddle Series, he and his team point paddlers toward attainable goals as they paddle decked in headlamps toward Navy Pier for fireworks, or simply take in the skyline at sunset or the full moon above.

Two cases of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)-associated dermatosis are described. The first cat was affected by an ulcerative dermatitis identified as a giant-cell dermatosis. The second case was a cutaneous lymphoma. In both cases, FeLV antigens and FeLV genome were demonstrated in the affected skin immunologically and with polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The first case suggests that, like other retroviruses, at least some strains of FeLV can induce syncytium formation. As FeLV antigens and genome were demonstrated in a serologically negative cat, the second case suggests that focal skin FeLV replication may occur. FeLV-associated dermatoses are rare skin conditions that may be under-diagnosed.

The Waynesboro Police Department sign still bears the name of former Police Chief, Alfonzo Williams.
The name of the next Police Chief will soon be displayed on the sign; but finding that person is causing plenty of controversy.
A disagreement between Waynesboro Council members over outsourcing the search for the Police Chief led to a heated discussion Monday night.
Council member Brenda Lewis said not hiring from within would be insulting, "That's a slap in the face to the department itself to me."
After member Herman Brown made a motion to allow the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police handle the recruiting process, half of the council members voted in favor and the other members were strongly opposed.
The members who voted against the motion want to see Deputy Chief Roosevelt Lodge get the job.
Lodge has been with the department for two years and he says someone should only be hired over him if they are better qualified for the job.
"[Theirs would have to be] better than mine and I think I'm pretty well damn qualified. But that's the council's game so lets play," Roosevelt, said.
He also says other applicants should have more than the right qualifications.
"They better know the citizens of this town, because it takes a lot to know these citizens. It takes a lot to have them trust you," he said.
John Broseghini says he doesn't care who gets the job, as long as they don't stop the Citizens on Patrol program.
"If they can continue the program the people in Waynesboro appreciate and like; I say it's another pair of eyes for the police department," Broseghini, said.
Ann Pitcher says if the next Chief of Police is the finest candidate for the job, she doesn't care what their name is.
"We have to pick the best person for the job and unless we see all of them, we don't know who that is," she said.
She will have the opportunity to see the top candidates for the job in a few weeks because the motion to have the GACP handle the application process passed.
City council members will decide who the next Chief of Police will be when they meet with the applicants at the end of March.

Approximation algorithms for buy-at-bulk geometric network design

The buy-at-bulk network design problem has been extensively studied in the general graph model. In this paper we consider the geometric version of the problem, where all points in a Euclidean space are candidates for network nodes. We present the first general approach for geometric versions of basic variants of the buy-at-bulk network design problem. It enables us to obtain quasi-polynomial-time approximation schemes for basic variants of the buy-at-bulk geometric network design problem with polynomial total demand. Then, for instances with few sinks and low capacity links, we design very fast polynomial-time low-constant approximations algorithms.

Read MoreTim Humphreys took his GoPro to Flow's Tailgate Alaska and shredded some insane lines. Check it out.
Read MoreIn the beginning of April, the Flow crew headed to the Chugach Mountain Range in the great white north for Flow Tailgate Alaska. As most of North America was shifting focus to spring, Alaska was still in the cold of winter, with plenty of powder to be had. There's not much better than camping out, partaking in Flow Tailgate AK festivities like snow science classes, man games, parties, snowmobiling, and of course, shredding epic lines. The experience of Flow Tailgate AK is exemplified by Tim Humphreys, Iris Lazzareschi, Mike Basich, Jason Gretzinger, and Shin Biyajima, as they take on the ridges of AK in this edit of enormous proportions.
Read MoreThe first blue day after two days of gray, Mark Sullivan walks into the warming tent and the first thing out of his mouth was, "well you pussies gunna go ride or what?" Those words set the tone for the rest of the Flow Tailgate Alaska. Tailgaters were treated to an unbelievable ten out of twelve days of blue skies and sunshine this year. The heli guides flew non-stop, snow machines broke and were fixed to break again and the Flow World Freeride Championships event went off with as good of conditions as you could ask for. The qualifying round was held in the classic area of Bro Bowl and the finals location at the back shoulder Python was not revealed till the morning of the event. The crews at Alaska Snowboard Guides were up early to fly the riders and media to the event and then it was a go. Eight men and two women took one run each. The video was logged and edited for the riders to judge the next night down in Valdez, at the Thirty-Two Degrees Bar inside the Mountain Sky lodge. After the ballots were cast Brandon Reid, an ASG employee, walked away with a sword and ten-thousand in cash and Emily Weir from South Lake Tahoe took home a sword and paid day of heli-time. With the awards done the party eventually made it down the street to the Boardroom where the beer and whiskey flowed and the dance pole was occupied all night. The next night with a deserted camp, any and all wood was added to the fire, Roman candle fights and one last glimpse of green lights lit up the sky. Only half way through the trip people were planning for next year, so start saving a heli budget and figure out a way to get your sled up to Flow Tailgate Alaska cause Thompson's Pass Kicks Ass!

Anyone who counts on computer model progs verifying beyond day 8 will spend a LOT of time being disappointed. Recognize that something COULD happen yes...but expecting it to...is only asking for anger or depression. Some people may not realize this, but the GFS truncates (loses resolution) past 192 hrs. That tends to provide less than optimal results at times because the model grid becomes coarser. The Swiss cheese holes get bigger and more numerous. One is that more stream phasing tends to occur in models than what happens in the real world atmosphere.
This is especially an issue on 06Z and 18Z runs...which are
initialized on "Best Guess" fields rather than upper air observations.
Any errors from reality in the initialized fields get compounded down
the road, especially after truncation after day 8. This makes their output less reliable. Research has shown the 18Z run of the GFS is the most error prone.
All someone has to do is look at the ensemble that goes with a single model run to see how radical the differences are at 240 hours. You have P10 (perturbance 10) with the snow line over southern Wisconsin and southeastward to the North Carolina coast and a surface high covering much of the eastern U.S. Right beside it...P9 (perturbance #9) has the snow line in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and extending northeast to Virginia...with low pressure off the Carolina coast: COMPLETELY different scenarios.
There are 22 possible solutions from the GFS ensemble (Control,
Operational, and 20 Perturbations (10 positive and 10 negative)). So
you as a user want to hang your hat on a solution that has less than a 5%
chance of being the correct one verifying? I am not trying to be mean or
snide, just instructional. The GFS alone is run 4X a day. There are dozens and dozens of different models run at least twice a day. No point watching just one nor just looking for one that shows what you want.
Those that put their faith in The Weather Channel, AccuWeather's (or anyone else's) 10-20 day forecasts need to keep that in mind. Those forecasts (point and click sites on the internet or your phone from cable and TV sites) that far out is totally based off of a specific model (probably the GFS operational, sometimes an in-house model). And the forecast will change with each model run. If you doubt that...try monitoring the extended forecasts (say for December 19th, for example) for a particular location a few times a day for several days. Check and see how much the forecast moves around.
What I hate is how everyone posts questions or their own "forecasts" based on these 10-20 day computer model projections that never verify. It's wishcasting and model worshiping time wasting. The models are so ever changing that you can't bank on storm systems that far out. The long-range models continue to be on and off the table for any kind of system. So I know the models are doing their normal cha cha cha of storms here today, gone tomorrow; we have to play the normal model games.
But weather forecasting is meteorology, not model-ology. As I've said in the past couple weeks, the general overall PATTERN is favorable during the next 1-3 weeks for at least a chance of snow and/or ice in the South. But lets take it one REAL storm at a time (if there are any) within 8 days, not the phantoms of la-la voo-doo land in the 7-15 days ahead range.
Here is a tip: if a model shows the same thing in the extended range,
many days in a row--THEN and only THEN you might have something to get
excited about. But I still said MIGHT. It's also not a good idea to just
look at one model. It's an even better idea to let a meteorologist do
their job and look at everything, and then tell you about it when
professional judgment says its time, what a concept. Saves a lot of time
and trouble for everybody. Happy holidays everyone.

As part of the Czech Republic's USA Tour, the Duke baseball team had a chance to play a meaningful exhibition game in the fall. The Blue Devils collected 18 hits en route to their 13-1 victory. The Czech Republic has been in the US since October 3rd and had already played Campbell. They will continue their tour with NC State and East Carolina before their tour ends on the 15th.
During the fall, every college baseball team scrimmages itself. Having the Czech Republic in town allowed for their hitters to see different pitchers and their pitchers to see hitters they have not seen before.
Duke used nine pitchers, all throwing one inning each. It got started with Trent Swart. Michael Matuella, Robert Huber, Drew Van Orden, Chris Kono, James Marvel, Sarkis Ohanian, Nick Hendrix, and Andrew Istler all followed.
Andy Perez led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run to get the offense going. In the game, he collected three hits and scored three runs.
In the second, the Blue Devils broke the game open as they sent 11 men to the plate. Redshirt senior Ryan Deitrich started the inning with a single and had a two-run double later in the inning.
The Czech Republic's lone run came in the fifth when Petr Zyma hit a solo home run on an 0-1 pitch. They collected seven hits as a team.
Duke opens the 2014 season with a three-game series February 14-16 against America East champion Binghamton.

"Best "pocket" camera available right now!"
on by Branden01Pros + Excellent image quality
+ Excellent interface
+ VERY Handy size
+ Extensive range of Pre settings that cater for any condition
+ Full Manual controls for when your are feeling more adventurous
+ User friendly controls and menusCons - No live preview of exposure changes
- Mode Dial could have some better gripSummary First off, no camera is perfect. This camera isnt perfect but its the best "pocket camera" you can buy. Period. A lot of people compare this camera to the Panasonic Lumix LX5. The LX5 is an awesome camera but I dont consider that a "pocket" camera. It is bigger and bulkier and doesnt fit in your pocket very well. I would almost compare that camera to the Canon G11 or G12. The Canon S95 is simply the best camera if you are looking for something very portable and you can take anywhere with you. I have owned the S90 and now the S95 and its the only camera I use. I take it everywhere to capture my 4 year old in all his activities. I used to lug around a DSLR camera but didnt like it because it was so big and bulky (but it took awesome photos) I looked into this camera (S90 initially) and fell in love with it and its all I use now. The S95 is basically the same but basically three things got better.
Video which was good just got better because its now in HD. The sound which I thought was very good just got better because video is now in Stereo. (two very tiny speakers are now visable on the front of the camera) The S90 was very sleek and some said too sleek because when you held it, some compared it to holding a bar of soap in the bathroom. It was very slick. The body of the S95 has a texture to it now that is better and not as "slick" to the touch. One thing I also like about this camera is it takes action photos a little better. The S90 "sports" mode took photos at a snails pace of about 1 photo every second basically. (DSLR's take about 4-5 per second and are very fast) The S95 does a little better at about 2 shots every second. This still is not very good but is acceptable for a camera like this and does help if you are taking photos of action, etc.
Again, no camera is perfect but this is about as close as you can get until something new comes out next year. However, if you want an awesome "pocket" camera that can take great photos (especially in low light), has a very fast lens (aperture 2.0), can be used fully manual if you want and takes very good video clips, this is the camera to buy. I am sure next year there will be some more improvements with this camera or features added and maybe Nikon or someone else will come out with something comparable to this Canon S95 but it doesnt exist right now. This little camera is the best right now. You wont be disappointed and quit looking around for something comparable because it doesnt exist. The only other camera that I looked at is the Panasonic Lumix LX5. It is a very, very good camera also (maybe a little better then this camera) but it is bigger and bulkier and really doesnt slip into your pocket very well. It also takes photos very well in low light (aperture of 2.0 also) and has a lens that is wider 24mm compared to Canon's 28mm and takes photos at around 3 shots per second compared to the S95 2 shots per second but its a little bigger and about $50 more. I encourage you to look at the Panasonic but the Canon wins for me!! Good luck and quit worrying and buy this camera!!!
Update: Here is a really neat "letter" that was written and posted on Yahoo the other day from an editor with the NY Times....I copied and pasted it into this review. Its good!
Dear Canon S95,
I don't often write love letters to gadgets. But you, you're something special.
Truth is, I've been searching for someone like you for years.
See, I love the huge light sensor that's inside an SLR. It can take sharp low-light shots without the flash. It can blur the background the way professionals do.
I just don't like how an SLR is big and heavy and obtrusive.
What I've always wanted is a little camera with a big sensor. Is that so hard?
Apparently, yes. The problem is covering a rectangular sensor chip with a circle of light from the lens. Bigger sensor? You need a bigger camera. Those are the simple bylaws of physics.
But you, oh, cute little Canon PowerShot S95! I love that you're a pocket camera, only 3.9 by 2.3 by 1.2 inches. I love your big, bright, three-inch screen, your built-in flash, your H.D.M.I. output for hi-def TV sets. I love that you turn on directly into Playback mode, without having to extend the lens.
I love the unique control ring around the dial, which I can quickly program to adjust whatever feature I want: focus, zoom, exposure, light sensitivity (ISO), aperture, even degree of color saturation (all the way to black-and-white).
I've had fun with your special modes, like the tilt-shift-lens simulator and fake fisheye.
I love the wink-driven self-timer. Yes, I set up the camera, walk into the scene, and then wink-the picture is taken two seconds later. Beats hunting around for a remote control. (Or I can ask you to wait two seconds after a new person-that would be me, joining the group-enters the frame.)
But above all, I love your enormous sensor. It's 0.59 inches diagonally-88 percent more area than most pocket cameras' sensors. And I love that you have an f/2.0 lens, a rarity among pocket cameras, meaning that you let in a lot more light.
And all of this means that you, little S95, can take amazing, sharp pictures in low light without the flash. Your designers have shrewdly dropped the ludicrous quest for more megapixels-you have 10 megapixels, just right-in favor of something that really matters, like better photos.
So many times I've used you for pictures at night, indoors, in shadow. Cathedrals, restaurants, parties. No, the results aren't as good as an SLR's-you still manage to blur a shot, especially in very dark situations when the subject is moving-but they're light-years better than any other pocket camera can do. I love to show off your photo samples.
You're even better than my last love, your predecessor, the S90. Because you're slimmer. And now you take hi-def videos-with stereo sound. You have a high-dynamic-range mode, where you combine three tripod shots at different exposures into a single photo with a really great range of darks and lights. Your controls are refined in size and placement.
Look, S95-I know you're not perfect. Your battery takes only 200 shots on a charge, which is very low. You won't let me use the optical zoom while I'm shooting video; in fact, you can't refocus while shooting video, either. (Your arch-rival, the Panasonic LX5, can zoom during video. Then again, it's porkier and requires fussing with a detached lens cap.)
And, of course, you cost twice what most pocket cams cost. You're $400.
But you are the best pocket camera on the market. I have carried you for many weeks, in many situations, and I have been thrilled by the sharpness, color, control and photographic success rate that you give me.
Yes, Canon S95, I think you and I have a long, happy future ahead of us. Heck, you may remain state-of-the-art for several months at least!
But if you will buy the Canon S95 I suggest you have to compare prices before you decide at: www.amazonshotcode.com/Canon-S95
Good Luck! -
"Canon PowerShot is the best Point and Shoot Camera"
on by pradikePros Fantastic imagery
Quality construction
Ease of Use
Super Indoor, Low LIght capability
Flexibility of Manual, Automatic, and everything between
Numerous options for settings to fit the photo situationCons Pricey, but when compared to the plastic-case Lumix that is similar...worth it!
Summary Having used numerous high-end cameras over the years....as well as qulaity DSLR's....I've gotten to the stage where 95% of my photos can be done with a top-shelf point and shoot. I've spent the past 3 months reseraching, viewing, and trying various options....narrowing the final choices to the Canon S95, Lumix LX5, and Nikon P7000.
In the end, its about the photo quality - and the S95 wins that battle. Using other point-by-point comparisons and pros and cons of equal value, the Canon S95 also comes out on top. During the past few weeks, I've put the S95 through a wide range of photo scenarios, and it has totally exceeded my expectations - a winner. -

Cons Battery life- buy extra battery , Grip is OK (an aftermarket grip is available), Flash pop up location, screen fingerprints, shutter location should be where rotating function knob is (not a problem for you, just when you hand off to someone else)
Summary Very small, solid build, large bright screen that lets you format picture in full sun, amazing ability to shoot natural light photos( without even thinking about a flash); can shoot in almost darkness. Sharp pictures, good focusing and color. Nice zoom range. Amazing amount of adjustment control, Turns on really fast (despite CNET review). I use burst mode for successful child photography- pretty quick, but of course not SLR speed. Very quick review mode. Canon software is good.
Very happy with my choice. -
"Perfectly combines DSLR with Point & Shoot!"
on by MargeryRedPros I love the size - super small it fits in the pocket or purse with ease!Great pre-settings.
Cons Pop up flash - in the way at times. Can be complicated for new users or people unfamiliar with manual settings.
Summary For a combination on the DSLR and Point and Shoot this one gets 5 stars!!! Size is amazing - fits in pocket or purse with ease! Highest quality P and S. Bright large LCD. Love the iphone like shuffle for images. Great compensation in low light (such as church/auditorium). Battery seems to live a long time. HD video very nice. I love the ability to quickly change the settings and get what you want easily.
"Amazing pictures and video is very good"
on by wdmillerPros Really good automatic mode
Manual mode is phenomenal
Picture quality is as good as my DLSR in many situations
Fast startup times
Easy to use
Small!Cons A little expensive
Auto mode indoors isn't as good as it could be, but manual mode works great.Summary Viewfinder and a big battery would be nice, but I think Canon made a good design choice by keeping the camera so small, you will be able to get great pictures anywhere.

Transit — Here It Is
Madison Metro Transit's general manager, Chuck Kamp, knows why we do what we do — because of the ride.
It was a cold and windy day when I visited Madison?s Metro Transit. Sure, cold kind of goes with the description when you live in Wisconsin in the winter, but it was about -10 F on the thermometer — and probably -20 F with wind chill — when I looked outside that morning. I figured I would get to see the buses in the maintenance bays or perhaps just tour some of the office facilities, but Metro's general manager, Chuck Kamp, had other ideas.
A Subzero Tour
"I'm dressed and ready to go," Kamp said (as you can see by our cover) with a smile. "For me this is the perfect day to show the system when we're really challenged."
And we did tour the system like any other rider would. We waited for a bus at a stop in the cold, got on board and rode a bus to the state capitol building and returned in the same manner.
And what surprised me the most about our trek to use transit that freezing morning was that not only were people on the buses, they were packed.
"That has to do with the support for public transportation," Kamp says. "This community supports it in terms of ridership and it also supports it in terms of the taxes that support it."
One of the ways that Kamp has noticed the support for transit in Madison is the number of choice riders the system has attracted. He notes that the Wisconsin capital is very environmentally conscious, which may explain some support, but there may be another — economic — reason.
"If they are parking at one of the ramps we will ride by downtown, it is $120 [a month]. And to get a bus pass it's $47 a month. In my previous community, to ride a bus for a month was about $60 and you could get a parking pass for a month for $20.
"Where you work in a community where the transit and parking policies are looked at together, I think that?s an example where you can build public transportation support," Kamp says.
Putting Down Roots
Despite its unenviable winters, Madison is one of the best places to live in the United States. Recently rated by Forbes magazine as the best place in the country to get a job, Madison has half the unemployment rate of the rest of the country. And it has a growing transit system. As any transit director will tell you, even though many transit executives move around quite a bit you do tend to put down roots in your community.
Kamp has had that opportunity a couple times over his career and has been happy with the decision each time. First entering the transit industry through a management internship program with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Kamp was allowed to do different assignments in transit over a two-year program. He wasn?t sure what he wanted to do, but he knew it would be in transportation.
"I've got transportation in my blood. I have a great grandfather who worked for the railroads. So I just think it's in my system," Kamp says.
Kamp took a few assignments with the program and eventually ended up at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Ending his internship program, Kamp stayed on with WMATA and as he says it, "I've never looked back."
Spending the 1980s in Washington, D.C., Kamp would move back to the Midwest in 1991 to become general manager of Valley Transit in Appleton, Wis. Spend 15 years in any location and you'll put down roots, so when you decide to make a move, it's a big decision, as it was when Kamp considered the open general manager position in Madison in 2006. Casually chatting with his wife over dinner, he discussed the open position, but was cautious because their youngest child was still in high school.
"[My wife] knows public transportation pretty well," Kamp admits. "And she said isn't it true that some people in transit manager jobs, they take it and then they are there 20 years. And I go, well yeah.
"Well so the Madison job might not open up for another 20 years?
"And I said, well that's true. This might be the only time it opens up."

Postcard from Duke (cont.)Posted: Thursday October 18, 2007 2:08PM; Updated: Friday October 19, 2007 1:17PM That personality -- and the uncertainty of how much it'll translate to success -- is what's so intriguing about Duke this season. The offensive profile looks like this:
The Blue Devils are small. No one's left to fit that Elton Brand/Carlos Boozer/Shelden Williams/Josh McRoberts role in the paint, so the tallest starters are likely to be Lance Thomas and Kyle Singler ... who are both 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds. (7-foot-1 center Brian Zoubek, who broke his foot in July, was still limited in the practice I saw. He'll be in the rotation when healthy, but he only saw 7.3 minutes per game last season.) They're also deep. There's the potential for a nine- or 10-man rotation if Krzyzewski is willing to give freshmen Taylor King and Nolan Smith minutes (it's almost a given that super-frosh Singler will start and play a lot). This should allow them to play more up-tempo basketball. They should shoot it well from the perimeter. Point guard Greg Paulus hit 45 percent of his threes last year. Freshman Taylor King, a 6-6 lefty, might be the team's best long-range shooter, and fellow rookie Singler is no slouch. Guards Jon Scheyer and DeMarcus Nelson both have the green light to launch treys, even though they have room for improvement from beyond the arc (both were around 36.5 percent last season). Assistant coach Chris Collins said because of the team's depth and shooting prowess, "We'll try to spread the floor, create space for guys to try to drive, get open shots. We don't want to get into a grind-it-out game where a team is going to try to match us physically." A few ACC teams will be able to attack Duke from that size-and-muscle angle, namely rival North Carolina, with Tyler Hansbrough, Deon Thompson and Alex Stepheson down low; N.C. State, with its superb frontcourt trio of Brandon Costner, Ben McCauley and J.J. Hickson; and Maryland, with James Gist and Bambale Osby. How well the Blue Devils manage to develop this up-tempo, spread-out identity will probably make the difference between being a 3-4 seed in the NCAA tournament or once again falling in that vulnerable 5-6 range. Duke's perimeter defense should still be excellent -- it ranked fifth in the nation in defensive efficiency last year, mostly by taking away the three -- but the prowess of its perimeter offense is yet to be determined. Three factors should go a long way in deciding whether Duke is a contender. It will be extremely important whether a healthier Paulus, back from offseason foot surgery, can orchestrate the wide-open attack with a better assist-to-turnover ratio that last year's 1.2-to-1. Coaches are hoping Scheyer can expand on the scoring niche he found in '06-07 ("Jon had one of the better freshman years, scoring-wise, that we've ever had here," said assistant Steve Wojciechowski). And the pace of Singler's development into a major matchup problem at the four -- the Medford, Ore., product is considered by some to be the best recruit in the Class of 2007, but has been overshadowed by the Love-and-Mayo mania in L.A. -- could be the biggest key of all. (As Collins said, "We've got a lot of talent on this team, but no one with as versatile a skill set as [Singler].") There is clearly some urgency in pushing Singler into a large role. At one point later in Tuesday's practice, when Coach K had his microphone turned down, he stopped play after Singler had turned down an open three-point look in the corner and opted to rotate the ball instead. "Whoa!" said Krzyzewski. "You had a shot." Turning to Scheyer, who had received Singler's pass, Krzyzewski asked, "How can you help him?" Scheyer quickly proffered an answer that was deemed correct: "Tell him to shoot it."

Quick tip screencast on how to make easy CSS3 Gradients:
What do you guys think of this method? Or do you still use a repeating background image?
Well it has been awhile since I have posted on this blog. I would love to be posting more, but my hectic work schedule isn't allowing me much time at all.
Well enough of that. Today I am going to help you figure out how to fix an annoying little ie bug. If you haven't already checked out my ie z-index bug page, do it now.
Most of you by now I am guessing have started to implement CSS3 gradients in your projects instead of repeating background images. If not, I suggest you check out this handy css3 generator that converts an image into its very own CSS3 gradient.
Now in my example, I have a navigation bar that is using a CSS3 gradient, and then I also have an active state for a link that expands outside of the navigation's boundaries. See below:
The following is the HTML code I used:

Home

Testimonials

Contact Us

and the import CSS relevant to our issue:
#global-nav ul { background: #d2d6da; /* Old browsers */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #d2d6da 0%, #c9ccd1 21%, #a1a3a7 75%, #95979a 100%); /* FF3.6+ */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#d2d6da), color-stop(21%,#c9ccd1), color-stop(75%,#a1a3a7), color-stop(100%,#95979a)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */ background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #d2d6da 0%,#c9ccd1 21%,#a1a3a7 75%,#95979a 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */ background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #d2d6da 0%,#c9ccd1 21%,#a1a3a7 75%,#95979a 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */ background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #d2d6da 0%,#c9ccd1 21%,#a1a3a7 75%,#95979a 100%); /* IE10+ */ background: linear-gradient(top, #d2d6da 0%,#c9ccd1 21%,#a1a3a7 75%,#95979a 100%); /* W3C */ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#d2d6da', endColorstr='#95979a',GradientType=0 ); height:54px; line-height:54px; } #global-nav li { display: inline; float:left; } #global-nav a.active { margin-top: -12px; background: url(../images/active-bg.png) no-repeat; }
So in this case everything would look great except IE. Here is what would show up in IE:
As you can see our nice overlapping feature is cut-off. To me I thought I must have assigned "overflow:hidden" to the ul as that is what it looks like. Turns out that is not the issue.
All you have to do to fix this error is remove the following line of CSS:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#d2d6da', endColorstr='#95979a',GradientType=0 );
Now the problem is that you will not have your nice CSS3 gradient in IE, but in some cases the overlapping if more crucial to the design. Don't ask me to explain why filter does this. Filter works great until you have to push out of the boundaries.
If you have any better solutions/fix for this issue, please let me know in the comments.
I didn't know for the longest time how to easily modify hover states on-the-fly. I thought Firebug had no features like this, but I guess I was wrong.
Take a look at this quick video that shows how this can be done!

In this tutorial I will be showing you how to build a simple tool that will use Yahoo!'s YQL query tool to search for some tracks from their music website. These results will then be displayed on our website all using AJAX to make it seamless along with a link to buy the album off Amazon.
Live Demo
YQL stands for Yahoo! Query Language, it lets you query, filter, and join data across most of Yahoo!'s (and a few other's) services with a similar structure to SQL. This is useful as its all written in one language making it easier to build sites and web apps that will use different services but join them all together. To get started with seeing what YQL looks like its a good idea to try out their YQL Console. From this we can see that it will deliver our content back in either XML or JSON, in this tutorial we will be using JSON. The format of YQL was built to be very similar to that of SQL so it makes learning it even easier.

To leave India, I'll need to get myself to the Jolly Grant airport, which serves Dehra Dun but is still some 30 km away. To get to the airport from Mussoorie, I can either take a taxi the whole way (for 1,300 rupees), or take a bus down to Dehra Dun (for 47 rupees), and from there a ...

The Gift of Counsel
The gift of counsel is the perfection of the virtue of prudence, by which we are able to judge how best to act almost by intuition, especially in difficult situations.
This gift was admirable in Mary, whom the Church calls "Mother of Good Counsel." Indeed the soul of Mary was always oriented toward God; she easily perceived all his inspirations, to the degree that these words can be applied to her more than any other saint: "Good counsel will be your guardian, and prudence will save you" (Prv 2: l l).
Mary was so prompt in communicating with God and receiving divine lights, in all circumstances of her life, that her soul remained in perfect peace.
The Gift of Piety
The gift of piety is the perfection of religion joined with justice, which produces in the heart a filial affection toward God, and a tender respect towards others and towards things that are divine, to accomplish our religious duty more than willingly.
If we could look inside Mary's soul, we would be astonished to see the child-like feelings of affection she has towards God, inspired by the gift of piety, at all the moments of her most holy life.
The Gift of Fortitude
The gift of fortitude is the perfection of the virtue of courage, which gives the will impetus and energy to enable it to operate or suffer great things joyously and daringly, overcoming all obstacles.
If one considers, on the one hand, the greatness of the task to accomplish on this earth, it is clear that Mary had been predestined by God; on the other hand, if we look at the innumerable difficulties she had to face - that came from the devil and the world, not form the flesh since she was immaculate - she could easily have despaired. On the contrary, by leaning on God, Mary overcame each difficulty, survived all dangers, and accomplished the arduous task of cooperating with Christ for the redemption of the human race. This grace made Mary immobile like a rock, and made her rest in God like a child in her mother's arms.
The Gift of Fear
The gift of fear of the Lord is the perfection of both the virtue of hope and the virtue of temperance: the virtue of hope, by making us fear to displease God and to be separated from him; the virtue of temperance, by detaching us from false pleasures that could make us lose God. It is a gift that predisposes the will towards a filial respect of God, lead us away from the sin, which displeases to Him, and makes us hope for His help.
Mary's fear was great, but not servile. Full of grace and very pure, very holy, she could not fear a punishment, as she could not fear to lose God through sin. Mary's fear ras reverential, coming from a deep sense of the infinite majesty of God and his infinite power.
The Gift of Knowledge
The gift of knowledge helps us to correctly judge the created beings in their relation with God; the gift of understanding manifests to us the intimate harmony of all revealed truths; the gift of wisdom helps us to judge, value, and appreciate them. All three have this in common that they provide an experimental, or almost experimental, knowledge, because they bring divine realities to the intelligence not through reasoning, but through a superior illumination that makes us grasp them as if we had experienced them.
The object of the gift of knowledge is the created things as far as they lead us to God, from whom they come and through whom they are preserved. These are like steps to climb up to Him.
To the mother of his divine Son, not only did God grant a vast knowledge of supernatural and natural things, but he infused in her this divine instinct that made her able to judge correctly the value of divine things, and how all human knowledge leads to the source of all truth, who is God. The proof of it being the deep words pronounced by Mary when Elizabeth greeted her as the Mother of the word.
The Gift of Understanding
The gift of understanding makes us understand that, despite their obscurity, the mysteries can be believed; that there is a profound harmony between them and what is noblest in the human reason.
Since the Holy Spirit was pleased to choose Mary for his spouse, he wished to adorn her also with the precious gift of understanding, so that beyond the ray of faith that shed some light on the mysteries for her, she would receive other strong lights to give her a deep understanding of the divine designs, especially the ineffable mystery that would be accomplished in her, as is evident in the answer she made to Elizabeth's greeting. No one has had a finer "sense of who Christ was."
The Gift of Wisdom
The most perfect of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is the gift of wisdom. It is the perfection of the virtue of charity, and resides at the same time in the intelligence and the will, because it pours in the soul some light and warmth, truth and love. It is the summary of all the other gifts, like charity which sums up all the other virtues.
As Mary received a large part in the participation in the virtue of the divine charity, she possessed more than anyone else, with an incomparable perfection, the gift of wisdom. Through this gift, she was able to discern, almost instinctively, divine things from human ones. This heavenly wisdom filled her soul with an infinite sweetness, since "there is nothing bitter about wisdom, and to live with her doesn't cause boredom but consolation and felicity."

Free your mind and your ass will follow - The Mothership has landed!! Why 'funk', of all words to describe such bootilicious music?
As the Wikipedia entry on Funk indicates, Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson has posited an African origin to the musical use of funky. Here is an expanded quote from his 1984 work, Flash of the Spirit: African and Afro-American Art and Philosophy: |
Funk is actually quite interesting, because it is a back formation from funky, which in turn was formed from funk. As in, funk didn't just go from "bad smell" to "music genre" all by itself; it took a detour via the adjective form. Confusing, huh? Etymonline explains it thus: |
funky originally meant pungent / earthy, with relatively positive associations to "passive" qualities such as the smell of a cheese, which just sits there mouldering away. Since being co-opted into jazz slang it's acquired the more "active" overtones of actual movement in the sense of lively, rootsy, etc. (funky music encourages dancing & foot-tapping). |
