4.03/5 rDev -5.2%
12.7 ounce bottle purchased at Beverage Warehouse a few years back for around eight dollars, drank a few nights ago after a Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueuze and also from my Drie Fonteinen lambic glass, reviewed from notes, color is a golden orange color with some lighter tones, 1/2 inch creamy white head, very good retention with some lacing, aroma consits of horse blanket, oranges, funk, lemons, oak, eathiness, and peacges, flavor starts off with grapefruit which is odd because I could not detect any in the aroma before, earthy flavors mixed with peaches and oranges in the middle, finish is rather dry with a good amount of oak and funk, dry, earthy, and funky mouthfeel, medium to full bodied for the style, high level of carbonation, taste lingers well, drankl this bottle no problem, light and inviting, no alcohol present, not too tart or sweet, this gueuze may not be expensive as all the other ones out there but that does not mean it lacks in quality, one of the best sours you can get for your money, will drink this again, recommended

Appearance: a deep golden pour with basically no head whatsoever.
Smell: a grassy nose with lemon & lime highlights. a tart, sour nose.
Taste: the lemon-lime tartness is huge off the top. a very natural and flavour. the tartness makes a crazy turn and heads for a sour and almost face-puckering finish.
Mouthfeel: lively and smooth. a fresh beer with great acidity.
Drinkability: a world class gueze. my favorite is still Drie Fonteinen but this one is a classic nontheless.

750 Bottle Purchased from Cest La Vin in Madison for only $4.00! Too bad it was the last one. No vintage that I can find.
Cork pops aggressively giving off the distinct stench of battery acid, rotten lemons, and perhaps a little vinegar.
Biting immediately and throughout each stage of the tasting process. Tastes exceptionally tart, rotten, like moldy grapes, wormy apples, and British cheese. As the beer warms it begins tasting a bit like moldy grains that have been sitting in the loft of an abandoned barn getting pissed on by raccoons and shat on by morning doves for a few decades. Boy is this brilliant!
Mouthfeel is over the top sourness and tartness. Drying in the extreme and oh so drinkable, especially after the initial battery acid aromas die away.
An experience in a bottle and much more about how it makes your mouth and nose feel then its particular taste or aroma. To drink a gueze like this is to remind oneself to fill their life with vitality and ardor.

Thanks, Kevin. This is one that I've eyed up numerous times, but for some reason never walked out of the store with it. Golden, yellow body, very nice for a gueuze with a solidifying chill haze that cascades throughout. The foamy white head looks as though it might hang around for a while before it quickly scatters and reduces to almost nothing, leaving no lacing behind.
Wow, the aroma has exceedingly generous amounts of farmhouse funk. Sweat socks, wet wood, muddled and musty barnyard floors, wet hay... it's all there, side by side with a super acidic and tart green apple skin and lemon rind fruitiness that kicks the tartness up just a notch. When a beer smells this sour, you can only imaging how it's going to taste.
Wonderful balance of funk and tartness with each and every sip; lots of tart, unripe apples and lemon juice, very puckering and tickling the senses in nearly every way possible. The sourness has a mild lactic quality; not much vinegar, but certainly a little acidic. A few sips into this one and I'm kicking myself for not having purchased this sooner.
The funk, while not *quite* as huge as in the aroma, is still very much present on the palate. Musty and wet oak board, funky bales of hay, and a multitude of other barnyard-like flavors will have their way with the palate before the bottle is gone. A nice, biting acidic finishes things off and leaves your palate with the unabashed dryness that's expected from gueuze. Crisp and thin body with a sharp, heavily carbonated mouth feel.
Color me impressed... While I do not believe this is a world-beater level gueuze (which, in all fairness, is one of the hardest leaderboards to climb), it's still pretty damn good, and it's even more appealing due to its (relatively) reasonable price-point and superb availability. Sometime to tide over your gueuze yearning after you drink your last Cantillon... don't pass this one up like I did.

Cellared less than a year at the brewery.
A: Slightly hazy orange with a minimal white head.
S: A rather "clean" funkiness (perhaps well defined is a better word considering the circumstances) of barnyard and mud with some pleasant notes of fruits and lemony acidity. The funkiness gets more pronounced after a while.
T: The taste is tart and refreshing with a decent amount of funk. Pleasant notes of sour fruits and berries. Hints of oak and grass. The finish is mildly bitter and nicely dry with a faint hint of minerals. Very good.
M: Moderate body, medium levels of carbonation.
D: Good. Very refreshing and fairly complex.

A - Pours clear copper with almost no head.
S - Smells earthy, with some musty funk, some hard apple cider and a bit of pepper. Wonderfully varied. Each sniff yields something a little different.
T - Massively tart and crisp up front, followed by a thick mustiness. The earthy component gives a nice deep to the flavor and balances the tartness well. Finished with lingering tartness.
M - Crisp mouthfeel finishes quite dry and clean.
O - Just a great beer overall. Great flavor profile.

Presentation: 375ml green bottle (with punt) corked and wired.
Appearance: Bright orange/caramel/amber in colour, not too much unlike a real hard cider. Initially it pours a very large bubbled fizzy foam head. It quickly settles to some foam around the sides of the glass. Carbonation is steady -- large bubbles.
Smell: Cidery, champagne-like, sour, spicy, light pepper notes.
Taste: Fizzy, crisp mouthfeel. Very dry, sharp and tart. You can feel your saliva glands kick-in. Complex fruit flavours follow, but they are not sweet ... more like a Granny Smith apple in flavour with a similar sourness and bite. I can also pick-up apple peel characters, some salt and mineral. No sign of any malt sweetness (per style), but there's some grain notes in the back that blend in with other tannins. Finish is dry, a bit musty.
Notes: A most delicious gueuze, and a fine replacement for any champagne or something to enjoy on a special occasion. I just love beer and its infinite diversity!

An exceptional brew to say the least, big earthy and herbal flavours jump out on to the palate first ... then quickly to the tartness. A nuttiness from middle to end keeps you thinking.
Fruity and tart with a complex dryness, throughly enjoyed this brew with a cheese and bread snack in Brugge.

Served at cellar temperature into a goblet, this gueuze pours a hazed tangerine body with no head, but a longlasting collar. Lacing is classical Belgian, and looks very attractive on the sides of the goblet.
Aroma begins with profound notes of oak wood, followed by a sharp, citrusy blast of freshly sliced lemon. Yeast is a prominent player in the nose, as well, with complex olfactory notes of dirty blanket, must, barnyard, and dried moss.
Mouthfeel has the explosive, effervescent carbonation that is so typical in a quality Belgian. Light medium body.
Taste begins like the aroma, with a strong note of oak. The dominant tangy and tart character quickly takes over. The middle is like chewing on a fresh slice of lemon, then the yeast takes over the show with a musty, earthy, and woodsy presence. Sour cherries emerge toward the finish, and the final note is dry, tart, and mildly chalky.
This is the real deal. Ideal for style. I wouldn't change a thing with this one. Excellent drinkability.

Large green Belgian style bottle, caged and corked. Pours semi cloudy, medium apricot amber, minor and short lived, medium tan head. Morphs down to a thin film and leaves next to no lacing. Tart, green apple nose. Sourness is the story here. Horse blanket, barnyard funk in all its artisinal glory. Funk quite prominent and showing its puckering muscles. Surely not a crowd pleaser, but sour beer lovers will be all over this one.

Shared a bottle with BA's at Anam Cara.
Poured a hazy, cloudy orange with a white head that quickly vanished (probably to get away from the smell). Smelled strongly of nature and quite sour. Tasted sweet and fruity with a heavy sour component. Enjoyable feel and easy to drink. I would share this one again wtih good company.

2.4/5 rDev -43.5%
Poured a cloudy yellow color, leaves a light lacing around the glass. Smell was sour and funky, definate barnyard smell. Taste was sour and reminded me of a horse in a barn eating rotten fruit. Average carbonation and light bodied. I couldn't drink all of mine, I just didn't care for it.
Additional info: I'm sure this is spot on for the style, but this was my first try at the style. I didn't seem to care for Oud Bruin's the first time I tried them, but I love them now. So even though this won't be given high scores from me, I definately think it's worth trying and I will be trying it again, hopefully enjoying then.

Split with BryanK.
12.7 oz caged and corked green bottle a little above fridge temp poured into a tulip. Bottled June 2012 (almost 1 year of age)
Pours a nice golden color with a light cloudiness, a spotty white head that lasts maybe 1/2 the glass, no lacing.
That nice classic gueze smell, some horsey Brett, a bit of lactic funk, rotted wood, musty basement, some slight cheese funk as it warms and just a hint of citrus comes through. Doesn't smell quite as sour as it is, but still not really sour as most.
Really coats the mouth with sour lemon citrus and lactic funk. Complexities of horsey Brett, rotted wood. Changes as it warms bringing forth maybe some old cheese?
Kind of a lighter carbonation for the style, coats the mouth, sour for sure.
A solid gueze, maybe not as good as 3fon or cantillion but pretty close. Buy this if you can.

Best Damn Sour Fest
San Diego, CA
Clear golden orange and amber with a light, pillowy near-white head which leaves spots and thin lines of lacing down the glass. Very pretty.
The aroma is both particularly musty with lots of funk and very fruity. There's a lot of lemon and apple character to this gueuze, along with an intense sour note, though this gueuze is sweeter than most others I've had.
The flavor is even better than the aroma. The sourness is strong and consistent from sip to swallow with lots of vibrant juicy lemon and apple character. This beer finishes incredibly dry and light, perhaps more so than any other gueuze I've had.
Thin to medium mouthfeel with high carbonation.
A really tasty gueuze I'd be happy to drink again any day.

Purchased a 375ml of this from Capone's for my second tasting of this beer. Enjoyed it the first time but only had about four ounces and figured I needed to give it another shot.
Appearance- To be honest, this is about the only place I found this beer slightly lacking, though perhaps it is because I had Duck Duck Gooze and Gueuze Girardin 1882 Unfiltered prior. When I poured this one, I feared it was going to be completely flat. However, after getting the bottle completely vertical to finish the pour, I managed to get a very thin (maybe quarter-finger) fizzy head that died out very quickly. Body itself however was a nice golden with some very mild carbonation actually beading up.
Smell- Lots of funk and acrid leather/barnyard off the nose. Tart smelling, but more along the lines of tart green grapes and unripe pear than what I would describe as green apple tartness. Quite nice and a little less aggressive than I was expecting.
Taste- Similar to the Girardin, I found this gueuze to forefront the funk. Lots of tart funkiness and barnyard first before I notice the fruitiness, which I found to be along the lines of the nose-white grapes and lemon zest primarily. More mouthpuckering than I thought it was going to be, but overall very good.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Carbonation was a touch low but better than I thought it was going to be. Fairly spot on for the style. Drinkability was pretty solid as well.
Overall, pretty good, though not quite at the level as the other gueuze I've had recently. Definitely recommend it though.

There was no fog either so why the iriots with fog lights?

Then there are shows like Moore's BSG which was heavily serialised from the first episode onwards by default due to it's premise. And that affects ability to grow ratings - which like them or not are important in keeping a show on air.
Obviously, the vulnerability of standalone shows like TOS is that - you don't have to watch each week. You could miss several weeks of TOS and not be lost with what's happening in it. But then that can also cause casual viewers to drift if they don't consider it 'appointment TV' but just something to watch whenever.
So, a future show will have to decide which of the options it wants to take. The other problem (again, it's unfair but it's the case) is that if a show doesn't explode immediately it may not be given much time to survive. There are a lot of decisions to be made about where to go once this (presumed) Abrams trilogy ends.

I think DS9 really straddled that line between story arcs and stand alone episodes quite well. I really didn't start watching DS9 heavily until the Defiant was introduced, and then when Way of the Warrior aired, I was hooked for the rest of the series.
I think if you can find a way to balance between the overall arc, and plenty of stand alone episodes, you can have a successful following, but it is so fine a balance to strike that few actually achieve such success.
Many say that Ron Moore's BSG lost its way...that it started suffering from scattered writing. I really don't think this is the case. Loved the show from miniseries to series finale. I think it saw a decrease in viewership for the very reason that had been cited here....it was a highly serialized show, and later on it would be very difficult to catch up on while on its run. It seems to be enjoying decent DVD and blu-ray sales though. I have the entire series on Blu-Ray....and WOW is it amazing to watch in that format.
With serialisation/standalone we've seen that both have their own merits, both can draw ratings and both can make it hard to keep your audience depending on who's watching.
TNG and VOY were more or less standalone but also had running themes over the course of the shows. I think audiences like running themes in terms of character development and the progression of certain aspects of a story like seeing a political situation unfold in the background over a season and how it's nodded to in the series. This type of structure could work again, straddling the middleground, keep the main plots standalone but have a serialised background keeping the show up to date within it's own continuity.

I agree with your assessment of the new movies, they just use some familiar elements but ignore Trek's principles, bones without spirit. That's precisely why ST09 feels a bit like Galaxy Quest despite not being a parody.
What I mean with radical cut is getting rid of continuity and the big cosmos, to get back to the empty galaxy & final frontier roots of TOS and TNG, not to change the texture and the background atmosphere of Trek like Abrams and Co have done.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross.

I can understand the temptation to write off a film series (or attempt at a series - I just did it with The Amazing Spider-Man after all so I'm not pretending to have the high ground) or a weekly TV series (again, I just did that with 'Revenge') very quickly after one episode or after the first film.....................but, in playing advocate and taking a step back..............most TV shows and film series don't start out flawless and without need of development to iron out kinks and problems. And since Paramount is concieving a film franchise we know that there is room and time to address some matters.
It still doesn't mean it will be your cup of tea at the end of the day, obviously.
TNG for instance, did not get up and running really well until three seasons in............even though seasons 1 and 2 had great moments and were perfectly entertaining anyway, and that's the kind of thing I try to keep in mind. TMP was a general mis-step in the original film franchise as well. On the other hand, if we get to films two and three with Abrams and there's practical onscreen evidence of no improvement then...............

That's why it failed.
And while tieing the show into TOS and coming up with great stories in the process, i.e. not merely connecting the dots but creating something new while doing it, was terrific and done as well as never before it also limited the show. The best episodes are after all the ones most loosely connected to TOS, i.e. the Vulcan and Coalition of Planets three-parter, not the stories with the Augments or the Organians.
As much as I like ENT and as fine a show it is objectively, I doubt that the next Trek series should use existing continuity as frankly as ENT.

Well, this thread is a bundle of laughs. We should be planning and plotting and sending messages off to the people we'd like to make more Star Trek!
We should be crying: "Star Trek, arise!"

I have recently started hand-taming a baby lovebird. I started hand feeding him at 3 weeks old and he has adopted me as his flock. because he was so small and the only chick to hatch, I could not leave him in the brooder by hiimself because he did not have sufficient feathers to keep himself warm. To protect my clothes, I wore one of Rudi's old workshirt when I handled him which was most of the day because he was alone and cold. He soon discovered that my shirt pocket was warm and has made it somewhat of a home away from his brooder.
I thought some of you would enjoy seeing some of the pics we took of him. He is so cute.

Shondaland has a new resident.
This fall, ABC's Thursday night lineup will be all Shonda Rhimes all the time, with Grey's Anatomy and Scandal leading into Rhimes' latest effort, the law school drama How to Get Away with Murder.
The verdict is still out regarding ABC's middling batch of new shows for the fall — as often happens, many of the network's more tantalizing projects are being held until midseason — but as ABC stepped into the TCA press-tour spotlight on Tuesday, the vibe was unusually positive because of one overarching hot-button issue: diversity. (For more ABC news, go here.)
When Scandal returns, the ABC political fixer drama will waste no time resolving many of the jaw-dropping cliff-hangers that fans have been discussing all summer.
In the Season 3 finale, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) inadvertently fulfilled her father Rowan's (Joe Morton) wishes by boarding a plane with Jake (Scott Foley), leaving behind Washington D.C. and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). Little did she know, daddy dearest murdered Fitz and Mellie's (Bellamy Young) son in a bid to become Command of B613 again and insure that POTUS would stay in office.
Scandal: Who didn't survive the season finale?
The only person who figured it out was the one man who had a gun pointed at his head in the closing moments of the finale. And Harrison's fate is certainly up in the air now that Columbus Short will not be returning to the show. So, what does this mean for the Gladiators in Season 4?

From Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins, the award-winning producers of The Documentary Group and Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Productions, strategic partner, Intel Corporation, and distribution partners CNN Films and Gathr, comes Girl Rising - an innovative new feature film about the power of education to change a girl – and the world. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez and other esteemed actresses contribute voice performances to the film, which features original music from Academy Award winner Rachel Portman and Grammy Award winner Lorne Balfe. The film spotlights unforgettable girls like Sokha, an orphan who rises from the dumps of Cambodia to become a star student and an accomplished dancer; Suma, who composes music to help her endure forced servitude in Nepal and today crusades to free others; and Ruksana, an Indian "pavement-dweller" whose father sacrifices his own basic needs for his daughter's dreams. Each girl is paired with a renowned writer from her native country. Edwidge Danticat, Sooni Taraporevala Aminatta Forna and others tell the girls' stories, each in its own style, and all with profound resonance. These girls are each unique, but the obstacles they faced are ubiquitous. Like the 66 million girls around the world who dream of going to school, what Sokha, Suma, Ruksana and the rest want most is to be students: to learn. And now, by sharing their personal journeys, they have become teachers. Watch Girl Rising, and you will see: One girl with courage is a revolution.
Hoping to propose to his upper-crust girlfriend, Wade Walker crashes her family's annual reunion and lands in a face-off with her dad, Judge Peeples.

Gulf Power Company residential customers who recycle an outdated refrigerator or freezer can get a $35 incentive check and be eligible to win one of two $250 VISA® gift cards between April 1 and June 30 this year.
During the three-month "Recycle and Win" contest, Gulf Power residential customers can receive complimentary home pickup of their old inefficient refrigerator or freezer, receive a $35 incentive check and automatically be entered in a drawing to win one of two $250 prepaid debit cards, good anywhere, especially toward the purchase of any ENERGY STAR® product.
Turned-in appliances are sent to a recycling facility operated by JACO Environmental, a leading, national provider of appliance recycling services. JACO will be giving away the VISA® gift cards.
"If you're looking for a cost-saving, energy-saving and space-saving way to jump start your spring cleaning, it doesn't get much better than this," said Natalie Smith, Gulf Power spokesperson.
Any Gulf Power residential customer can enter the drawing by recycling a refrigerator or freezer by calling 1-855-559-2523, or by visiting gulfpower.com/residential/fridgerecycle<http://www.gulfpower.com/residential/fridgerecycle>. Labor and transportation are provided free of charge to all customers.
Recycling refrigerators and freezers creates numerous benefits for utility customers and the environment. Program participants can save as much as $150 a year through lower electricity costs by having an older refrigerator or freezer hauled away. Recycling a single unit also repurposes more than 188 pounds of materials, such as foam, glass and metal for future use.

Like other Neutron/RMC products the price is excellent for what you get. Pros: 1. The seat is very grippy compared to stock (maybe a little too grippy for some). 2.

Cons: 1. The front pocket wasn't sewn the best. Part of the material was sewn incorrectly causing a little extra lump on the leading edge of the pocket.Read All Reviews

Apple came under fire for back-pedaling on its support for IPv6, the next-generation Internet Protocol, at a gathering of experts held in Denver this week.
Presenters at the North American IPv6 Summit expressed annoyance that the latest version of Apple's AirPort Utility, Version 6.0, is no longer compatible with IPv6. The previous Version, 5.6, offered IPv6 service by default.
[ Get your websites up to speed with HTML5 today using the techniques in InfoWorld's HTML5 Deep Dive PDF how-to report. | Learn how to secure your Web browsers in InfoWorld's "Web Browser Security Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
Comcast, for example, is urging its subscribers that are interested in using IPv6 not to upgrade to AirPort Utility Version 6.0 if they use the OS X Lion operating system because of incompatibilities with IPv6.
"Apple has taken the ability to seamlessly support IPv6 away from the AirPort Utility," said John Brzozowski, chief architect for IPv6 and distinguished engineer with Comcast. "It's a little concerning. We hoped to see more IPv6 support, not less, among [customer premises equipment] vendors."
Apple's AirPort Utility 6.0, released in January, allows users to set up and manage Wi-Fi networks consisting of just Apple Wi-Fi routers. Because Version 6.0 of AirPort Utility doesn't support IPv6, users also must install the older version 5.6 to configure IPv6 on Apple Wi-Fi routers. (Non-Apple routers are usually managed through a Qeb interface and so are unaffected. Apple's Mac computers also support IPv6 natively.)
Indeed, Comcast is giving only a conditional recommendation for Apple's AirPort Utility to be used along with its new home networking service for IPv6. In contrast, Comcast offers a blanket recommendation for various IPv6-enabled home gateway models from D-Link, Cisco, and Netgear.
Comcast is the first U.S. ISP to offer an IPv6 service for home gateway users, which will be officially announced later this month. Currently, Comcast is offering this service in two U.S. cities. The service allows Comcast residential subscribers with IPv6-enabled home gateways to have native IPv6 support on any device connected to the Internet.
Overall, home networking products like AirPort Utility have been slow to adopt IPv6. "Home gateways have been one of the areas that was slowing IPv6 adoption," said Timothy Winters, senior manager at the University of New Hampshire's Interoperability Lab. The lab is running a major interoperability test for home gateway equipment next week.
To pass the UNH-IOL test, home gateways must enable IPv6 by default and pass a set of interoperability tests. So far, the lab has approved six home gateways as passing 100% of its interoperability tests, including models from Cisco, Actiontec, Broadcom, D-Link and Lantiq. No Apple products are included on the UNH-IOL list.

Global Agenda Council on Design & Innovation 2012-2014
The challenge
The role of design and innovation has never been as relevant and powerful as it is in today's rapidly changing, interconnected and complex world. Design and innovation are a creative response to the need to drive development and growth in times of austerity, resource scarcity, growing unemployment and inequality, demographic shifts and new patterns of demand and supply. It can beconsidered a practice, a tool, an approach or a discipline that aims to create value for society.
Many recent developments, such as the increased influence of urban life, a shift to a creator economy, and the increase in women entrepreneurs in emerging markets, are transforming the world of design and the potential for the field's impact.
What the Council is doing about it
After a successful set of four roundtables across the world to raise awareness and understanding of the role of design and innovation as a creative response to the salient issues of today – specifically education, policy-making, urban development and complexity – The Global Agenda Council on Design & Innovation will deepen its focus for the remainder of the current term on two key areas:
1. Urbanization: How can design help solve complex, multi-modal urban problems to improve both the liveability and sustainability of cities?The Council will develop a public design workshop to explore positive-future scenarios,to be held in New York City in early 2014.
2. Entrepreneurship: How can design help unleash the entrepreneurial potential of non-traditional communities? The Council will explore how to develop a new narrative for entrepreneurship, culminating in an event in a location to be determinedduring the last quarter of 2014.
"Design and innovation are a creative response to the need to drive development and growth in times of austerity, resource scarcity, growing unemployment and inequality, demographic shifts and new patterns of demand and supply."
The Council is preparing a summary of lessons learned and patterns that emerged from the 2013 roundtables,to be published on www.yourdesignthinking.com, a social media platform developed by the Council to gain greater input from the public on the issues being explored. It will also engage in preliminary research to determinehow design can help citizens gain a better understanding of the issue of privacy. The Council will continue to help and collaborate with other Global Agenda Councils related to the above-mentioned projects.

types of error messages and notifications in web apps
Hi all,
I'm doing some research on best practices for error messages, warning and confirmation messages for web applications.
Right now I'm making a list of all the shapes these messages can take in an interface.
I've come up with 5 approaches and I'm thinking about where/when they're appropriate, for which types of messages and scenarios, and how they might not be a good idea sometimes.
here is my list so far:
1) the notification area used accross the app, always in the same part of the interface, usually somewhere at the top. Here is an example.
2) contextual messages, for instance next to a form field that's causing the problem (see this article)
3) modal windows
4) browser dialog boxes
5) growl type of message : they pop up in one area of the screen (as opposed to an area of the interface), hence overlaying some of the interface. They either pop up and dissapear by themselves or they wait for the user to close them. Example here.
My questions are :
- have you identified other forms of notifications?
- do you know any good online resources about this topic?
- how do you personally feel about browser dialog boxes in web apps? I find them terribly annoying most of the time, and I wonder if it's just me
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

To start with, good work and a nice research. Have some questions first up :
By growl type of message, you say that some part of the interface is overlayed right? Does overlay mean that no further operation can be done with that part of the interface ?
Are modal window and growl type similar? If not what is the difference between them ? Is it possible to show me an example of the modal window type?
Coming to the browser dialog boxes, I assume it is the 'alerts' that come up. And I agree with totally in your saying that they are particularly very annoying.Thank You

Hi vigneshr35,
I guess the big difference between growl-like messages and modal windows is that in the first case one's able to ignore the message and carry out some other task, whereas a modal window is usually more "in your face" : it's often displayed in the middle of the screen with the rest of the interface greyed out.
Some modal windows let you interact with the rest of the interface but I think that's fairly rare.
In both cases, the notification may overlap some of the content of the page.

The method I use is basically like the example in 1). I have three types of event:
- Positive (Green): Events where the user has successfully completed something like the successful sending of a pm, deletion of a pm, etc.
- Neutral (Orange): Events that are neutral in nature, not used very much, mainly for things like notification of unread PMs, etc.
- Negative (Red): Events where a user action has failed, like errors when sending PMs, etc.
When it gets nearer ready to go online I'll look for relevant icons for each of the three. For errors with forms I'll possibly also change the colour of field names where there is a problem to red.
Whatever colour scheme you choose to use, make sure that it is readable/legible on a variety of monitors/screen resolutions.Community Team Advisor

SpacePhoenix, I agree with you on these basic principles : colours that make sense, readability etc.
In the web app I'm working on, we might need the user to get confirmation or error messages after they've scrolled down the page. In that case, it's not great if the area used for such messages is always in the header area, for instance.
That's why I started to look into other ways of displaying notifications so that it's always visible but not too intrusive like modal windows or alert boxes. These can be fine to use in some cases but definitely not all the time.
I like Growl-like notifications but I've noticed that I don't read them if they show up in a corner a the bottom, so that's a bit of a problem. I wouldn't want them to pop up in the top right or left corner of my app because it would overlap important elements most of the time.
It's quite tricky...

Hello all. This summer I bought a (late 70's?) IH 184 for use here on our farmstead. At the time, I didn't even know that I was looking for a tractor, but when I seen it, I had to have it. You know how that goes.
Any how, it's in pretty decent shape (not a show queen by any means, but just a good old working tractor) The tractor came equiped with mid hydraulic lift, 3pt hitch, independent rear braking, 3-speed tranny with selectable creeper hi/lo gear. And it came with a few attachments also. A 3pt. drawbar, 6' 3pt. back blade, 5' 3pt. yorkrake/yardrake, 3pt. forks, a 3pt. Woods rear mower, a front snow plow blade and a front ram-pusher for pushing/moving cars around.
Since this summer, I only used the back blade to level dirt, the yorkrake and back blade to smooth our gravel driveway and the 3pt. forks to move stuff around. Today I was going to mount up the front snow plow for winter duty, and relized that some of the pieces are missing and didn't get them when I brought the tractor home. I have the plow blade, main frame lifting arm, plow support angle assembly and the lift link brackets. I have pretty much the plow and complete under carriage.
This is where I need some help. I need some dimensions for some of the pieces that I'm missing.
1) The L-shaped mounting plates
2) The lift connecting bars
3) The triangle lift plate
I do metal fabrication for a living and these pieces look easy enough to make. I just need dimensions to duplicate them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rectification of a birth horoscope is the process of using the birth chart and astrological timing methods to test and clarify the true birth time of an individual. Since it might well be considered the Mount Everest or Holy Grail of astrological exercises: very challenging, fraught with errors, a low likelihood of success, and a high chance of failure - why then, attempt it? When no birth time is available or if there are multiple conflicting reports, the rectification exercise resembles the challenge of searching half the Indian Ocean for a missing jetliner. But a successful rectification opens up the possibility of a high degree of accuracy in prediction, particularly if it is based upon a timed-tested tradition.
Over the past few decades, "chaos theory" and "complexity theory" have emerged as new scientific models for understanding chaotic and/or complex systems. Chaos theory has grown out of physics and mathematics. Complexity theory has developed mainly from studying biological and human systems. These theories share a natural alignment with the spirit and practice of astrology, more so than other attempts to use astrology with the concepts of modern science. The current configuration of Uranus and Pluto makes this an auspicious time to discuss chaos and complexity theory with astrologers.
Earlier this summer Nelson Mandela was hospitalized, was repeatedly placed in critical condition, and released from his hospital to go home. No news for month. Then, as the world found out quickly, on Thursday December 5 he finally departed from this life.
International media was well prepared for his death, and the press coverage has had carpet bombing dimensions. Saying goodbye to Mandela has become a major international event and most national leaders will be on hand for his memorial service this week. Now is the perfect time to look at his life and his astrology. First a little biographical background is helpful.

Born Mary Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was the daughter of the revolutionary feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft (see portrait above), whose powerful treatise, Vindication of the Rights of Woman [pdf version], opened up new avenues of possibility for the education of women at the commencement of the 19th century. Her daughter was one such beneficiary of Wollstonecraft's desire to reform women's education, going on to publish the wildly popular novel Frankenstein at the young age of 20. A look at the planetary aspects of Mary Shelley's natal chart, using the perspective of archetypal astrology, can help illustrate how the archetypal energies correlated with the planets of our solar system were expressed in her personal life and in her writing, with a particular focus on her masterwork, Frankenstein. An analysis of the world transits, and the personal transits they form to Shelley's natal chart, at the time of the publication of Frankenstein provide further insight into Shelley's writing.
Since coming into the study of astrology, I have deeply pondered the mechanism behind its magical and profound workings. Any student of the subject has surely been amazed by its exactitude and precision in the timing of events, bodily illness, and passing moods that sweep through us in any given day. It is the unending and uncanny accuracy of astrology that keeps me motivated to continue my study. I also believe that astrology can be used to aid in healing. For instance, medical astrology can often be as accurate as a laboratory test, yet looking at the astrological chart is completely non-invasive.
My article revolves around the position of Pluto in Mary Shelley's chart and its powerful impact on the events in her life and her works - Chrisine Ferraro
Born of philosopher and political writer William Godwin and famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft (author of The Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792), Mary Shelley's early environment provided fertile ground for the growth of her intellectual and literary tendencies. The loss of her mother when she was only 11 days old was the first of many indicators that crisis, transformation, and revolution were going to be a major theme in her life.
The chart below is of Mary Shelley. The box at top right in the diagram is Gemini, her ascendant, and the signs of the zodiac and 12 houses run clockwise from there. In 1797 when Mary Shelley was born the difference in planetary positions between Western and Vedic Astrology was 21 degrees, so the usual 2 degree Cancer ascendant minus 21 degrees converts to 11 degrees Gemini. This gives the visible astronomical positions for the ascendant and planets at the time of birth and allows many insights not available in Western Astrology.
I will focus only on the first house, the zodiac sign that is located inside the first house; the Ascendant; the ruling planet of Ascendant and the planet that is inside the first house. Click here for a large version of Mary Shelley's chart in a new window.
The Ascendant is at the 2nd degree of Cardinal sign, Cancer. A child expects to receive the emotional protection and also the nutrition and education from a mother, instead there is "a cold and dry Saturn". Saturn can also be the authority in the chart. And indeed this Saturn 'plays-out'. Mary loses her mother at the age of eleven days and her father is the parent who gives her basic education and 'bringing-up'. (Her biography notes that Mary Godwin's mother died when she was eleven days old; afterwards, she and her older half-sister, Fanny Imlay, were raised by her father).
By Bernie Ashman
This short article is focused on the unique ability of Mary Shelley to tell a story with great imagination by thinking out of the box. She was born with her Virgo Sun sign in conjunction to the planet that triggers innovation, Uranus. It gave her a strong mind that did not fear what others might think of her even after publishing a book such as Frankenstein during the 19th century. Uranus is the ruler of her 9th house with the sign Aquarius placed upon its cusp. The 9th house has connections to publishing, education and writing. Both Uranus and Aquarius have an emphasis on independence. Ms Shelley was self-educated early in life and loved making use of her father's vast library.

NICHOLAS COUNTY (WVVA) - A man accused of murdering four people from Greenbrier County last year pleaded not guilty to the crimes in court Tuesday.
The case against James Roy Belknap will now go to trial. Belknap is charged in the murders of Steven Hendrix, his girlfriend, Amber Martin, and two children, 4-year-old Kaylee Hendrix and 6-year-old Dakota Hendrix.
The four victims were reported missing out of Greenbrier County on Monday, May 21, 2012. Their bodies were discovered the following Saturday.
Belknap was arrested two days later.
View WVVA.com's previous reports on this case
Court documents have shown that Belknap owed Steven Hendrix money from a drug debt and that the two "had been fighting about the payment."
Belknap appeared before Judge Gary Johnson in Nicholas County Circuit Court. He will next appear in court on April 16.

I have argued for some time now that the issues that many fans take with the NCAA's handling of infractions cases is not an issue of a hatred for Alabama (or any other school), but of simple...
Upon his arrival on campus as a freshman, Sammy Smith brought his new school books into the dorm and was putting them away when an upperclassman stopped by. "What are you going to do with those books?" the upperclassman asked. Smith said, "I'm going to go to school." "Hell, man, I'll show you what to do with those books," the upperclassman said. "Well, I was a kid, a freshman," Smith said. "…and he was an upperclassman… he took me down to some black market store that they knew of, and we sold my books. He said, 'That's what you do with your books. Now you know what you're going to do with your money? Drink some beer, man. Football players drink beer.' And we drank the money away."Former Alabama player Sammy Smith recounting his arrival to the University of Alabama in 1956. From Tom Stoddard's book, Turnaround.
The NCAA Infractions Committee rules the University of Alabama will receive three years probation, vacation of records, and a $43,900 fine. No scholarships will be lost.
What's the big deal with the current infractions case against Alabama?

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
People, all over the world, look to their forests to provide a wealth of economic and non-economic benefits. In many cases, policy makers and forest managers have a difficult time directly addressing the many intangible, but highly valued benefits derived from recreation and tourism activities. For example, forests provide people with opportunities to view and experience aesthetic and restorative environments, relieve mental stress, and become physically fit. Moreover forest- based tourism is a growing land-use activity and an important economic sector that involves a variety of different types of entrepreneurs, many of which are relatively small, located in rural regions, and might only work part-time in tourism combined with agriculture, forestry or other rural means of livelihood. Many of these businesses are challenged by seasonality in tourism demand and the use of natural areas for tourism and recreation purposes might conflict with other natural resource uses. Even with the complex and valuable role recreation and tourism plays in forest management, it is somewhat rare to find the benefits of forest-based recreation and tourism specifically addressed in forest strategies or management plans. Over the last half century, social science researchers have made great strides to better understand how to provide opportunities to attain the wealth of personal, social, economic, and environmental benefits available through the use of forests for recreation and tourism. In this special issue, we will provide examples of research from around the world that highlights the state-of-the art information related to recreation and tourism forest policies, strategies, and management. From the identification of recreation indicators to the development of social theories, like place attachment, this special issue will provide a contemporary illustration of recreation and tourism's role in expanding and improving forest management.

3.4/5 rDev -4.8%
Served only about 2 hours after dispensing (Green's in Greenville, SC), but clearly under-carbonated. This may be a problem with the vendor rather than brewer, so I won't deduct much for this.
A hazy yellow color with hardly any head. The nose (which seems to deteriorate with warming) is a mix of bready light malt, some light fruit (mainly citrus), a bit of funk, and a barely detectable touch of hops. The hops come forward on tasting, however, where they are slightly dominate the malt by the finish. Some yeast/earthiness here too, along with enough orange to suggest a juice component (although there is none, I assume). {T = 3.75}
M: the light body is too thin and watery; as noted above, rather flat. Actual sensory rating would be below 3 but I am allowing for the possibility of an improperly dispensed
O: a bit unrefined (think homebrew) and under-carbonated, but modestly drinkable and a nicely juicy APA.

Served from bottle into a COAST Willi. Poured a hazy deep yellow-orange with a three finger off-white head that grew to a four finger convex head while sitting. Interesting… Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, earth, citrus, citrus hop, tropical fruit, and fruit hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, floral, floral hop, citrus, citrus hop, fruit, fruit hop, and subtle tropical fruit. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The Amarillo hop was definitely able to shine through on this one and what a beautiful hop it is. Nice citrus and tropical fruit characters going on here making it quite easy to drink and very nice to smell as often as possible. Defintely worth trying if you get the opportunity but might not do it for the ultimate hop-head.

Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a very dense off-white head that settles to a squat cap, leaving some spotty lacing behind. Fairly mild hop aromas of Juicyfruit gum, orange peel, pineapple, and a touch of pine resin. Amarillo is a weird hop. Malt backbone is moderate, with a bit of caramel and spicy rye (very similar to the other two Single Hop varieties). Taste is similarly "juicy", with orange and mango juice, grapefruit, and more resin. The malt profile balances the hops nicely, and results in another dangerously drinkable Pale Ale. Mouthfeel is bright and crisp, with a medium body and good carbonation. A nice addition to the Single Hop line-up, I'm glad to get some one-on-one time with a hop like Amarillo, which I seem to have little experience with.

22-ounce bomber from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours golden. The nose has some faint Amarillo, but overall it's quite tame. Some bitterness and a bit too much yeast character.

Pours a cloudy yellowish copper with a half inch head that almost dissipates, but leaves a film of foam on top. Slight lacing.
Aroma is fresh and light. Mouthfeel is good, but carbonation seems a bit fizzy. I had a sixer of their IPA not long ago which was quite foamy. Wonder if they're having carbonation issues?
Taste is crisp with spicy notes from the rye and light floral highlights from the hops. Although they're single-hopping with Amarillo and their label says it has citrus tones, I don't detect much citrus. Finishes quite dry.
In a blind taste test, this could easily pass for an IPA---although there's nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, too many APAs are vanilla anyway. I'd like a stronger rye presence, but I won't mark it down for the recipe they used.
Pretty tasty beer overall. This would make an excellent summer beer. Hope the folks at Westbrook don't wait too long between brewings on this one.

Thanks to kkipple for another interesting Westbrook beer. Single hop beers can be interested, although usually not great since it's hard to get all the right flavors from one hop variety, but still very interesting to see how it comes out. Bottled on June 13th, 2012, snot even a couple months old...
it makes a really loud psssttt when opened, and pours a huge fizzy overcarbonated 4 finger head that is 5 times the size of the beer itself poured, fades fairly quickly with pot marked lacing, over murky wheat/wit orange beer.
Nose has the same aroma as the last single hop one from them, a yeasty aroma that at first seems like infection but isn't, just yeast gone crazy. A light bready malt base, with hints of spicy rye and toasty reddish malts, just a hint of the fruity citrusy hop swimming somewhere below.
Taste starts with loads of foam as it seems to just explode into foam as it hits my mouth, and quickly turns to yeast flavors, again over crazy yeast that went wild on itself, and bready malts. Some spicy rye again, light reddish malts. The hops are very background, just a light bitterness, with hint of citrus and rind, and a light earthy hop flavor, but not much otherwise. Finish is drier, yeasty, and not much else. With a fairly fresh bottle that is definitely a problem with the beer itself, how about a little quality control?!
Mouth is med bodied, way too much over carbonation.
Overall bah!!! It's pretty much all yeast, carbonation, and light malt flavors, with barely any hop left. just like the last one, big quality control issues, with overcarbonation, yeast going wild, hops disappearing, malts barely able to do anything. The last I thought may have been a fluke, but this seals it as bad. Its even pretty much a drain pour as all I get is yeast, carbonation, and just a touch of malts, It's not drinkable.

A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a brownish-orange color and a cloudy consistency. There was an inch and a half of foamy, long lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A very subtle aroma of hops, citrus, and rye.
T: Tasted of hops (a mild amount), some malt, citrus (orange), and rye (as is the case with this, the rye mellows the hops a bit). A solid, brisk, light, enjoyable flavor.
M: A well-carbonated beer with a crisp, smooth finish. Light-bodied.
O: A solid, sturdy beer, good for drinking on hot summer days. Drinkable.

Appearance: A foamy pour with a head that eventually settles atop the hazy goldenstraw liquid; lots of clumpage as one would expect
Smell: Bready with a nice floral citrus aroma
Taste: Bready and citrusy, up front but the flavors really fade, after the swallow
Mouthfeel: Light bodied and moderately carbonated; rather aqueous
Overall: Quite a few flaws here, from the watery mouthfeel to the overcarbonation; not up to the high standards I have for beers from this brewery

22oz bottle from the brewery. Into a mug...
A: cloudy, pale gold; two fingers of fizzy, white head; spotty lace; a steady bubble stream keeps the retention going.
S: slightly pungent rye aroma; citrus pith / apricot hoppiness; some fruity esters / yeast aroma, too.
T: light tropical fruit hops; rye is there, although not too dank; a little bready; doesn't seem quite complete.
M: medium-bodied and high carbonation.
O: I like the amarillo and rye mix; finishes a little thin and pretty fizzy.

Australian charity helps launch Habitat for Humanity in Cambodia
Australian charity to help Habitat for Humanity build its first homes project in Cambodia
SYDNEY, Australia, and PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, March 22, 2004 – An Australian charitable foundation agreed to fund most of a (U.S.) $582,000 Habitat for Humanity International project to help build safe and decent homes for hundreds of low-income families in Cambodia. It is Habitat's first project in Cambodia since beginning its work there in January 2003.
According to the Australian arm of Habitat for Humanity International, the charity, which wishes to remain anonymous, will contribute more than (U.S.) $400,000 to help 264 families build new homes in Cambodia's capital city, Phnom Penh. The families, all Kampuchea Krom who fled Vietnam, had saved enough money to buy land; however, they need help to build homes where they can safely raise their families. The project begins on April 1 and will take four years to complete.
"We are delighted to have such a generous supporter to help us help some of the poorest families in one of the poorest nations in Asia," said Michael Pailthorpe, director of Habitat for Humanity Australia. "The foundation's funding helps Habitat's work in Cambodia to get off to a flying start, just one year after starting in the country."
The project will use Habitat's "Save & Build" model, which brings together low-income families in a community to form savings groups. The groups, usually 10 to 12 families strong, save money and materials together. When the group saves enough to build one house, Habitat normally provides matching loans to build two more, and construction on the three houses begins. In this project, the foundation will provide the matching funds.
Construction and saving continue until all group families have homes. A cycle normally takes about two years. After the group has built all their houses, they continue to save and pay off their outstanding no-profit, no-interest loans to Habitat. The repaid money becomes part of a revolving fund to assist further "Save & Build" groups.
Habitat for Humanity Cambodia plans to establish a Building and Training Center to provide practical technical assistance for homeowners and groups interested in eliminating substandard housing. This will include assistance with simple house designs, appropriate local building materials and technologies, empowering communities to help themselves for housing and related infrastructure, training for homeowner groups, other NGOs, and government officials on housing issues, and information on housing matters and other issues.
Habitat for Humanity International is a Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 3,000 communities in 92 nations have built and sold more than 150,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. www.habitat.org.
