I normally enjoy fruit beers but this beer was a huge disappointment.
Pours an orange-gold with a white head that very quickly disappears. Lots and lots of sediment in the glass. Normally I like bottle-conditioned beers with the yeast poured into the glass but that was a mistake with this beer.
Lots of orange aroma when i opened the bottle but after it is in the glass it smells like Tang powder.
And it pretty much tastes like tang. I'm not kidding. It starts off sweet but then ends with an odd chemical powdery taste to it. I'm sure there are some hops and malt in there somewhere but it is hard to pick it up. Frankly, this beer tastes like my first attempt at homebrewing when I went crazy and tried to make an peach IPA, which was a horrible, horrible idea.
Thin mouthfeel.
Don't buy this beer. I really can't help but wonder if this beer really has tang in it? This is the worst beer I've had in a long time.

A - Orangish/Amber color, small white head, minimal lacing.
S - Strong tangerine smell. Very sweet, definately living up to the name. Citrusy wheat beer smell comes through, but overpowering tangerine type aroma.
T - Truly terrible. I can't tell this is a beer, tastes like some bad flavored fruit soda. Horrible artificial tangerine taste, reminds me of tang.
M - Little heavier than light, but is this soda? Has about the same carbonation level. Yuck.
D - This is probably a great beer for people who are not really into beer and like soda or fruit drinks. It tastes absolutely disgusting and has horrible mouthfeel, would never do it again.

Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat Beer...on tap
Appearance-light orange color with a white head that doesn't linger too long. Disappears quickly.
Smell-obvious aroma of sweet fruit, lemon peel, sugar, alcohol mix.
Taste/Mouthfeel-overwhelming sweetness, fruit flavor is lost as the sugar and sweetness mixed with alcohol makes for an orange soda like taste, not at all appealing, very light watery mouthfeel. On the end is an aspirin like aftertaste.
Drinkability-too sweet, too muddled, too syrupy
Overall-I normally hate to trash a beer but for me this one honestly crashed and burned, not at all a good mix of flavors.

1.83/5 rDev -45.7%
Appearance: flat orangey gold, orange crush colour. No head to speak of. Cloudy.
Smell: Orange creamsicle. Bleh.
Taste: see above. One-dimensional, sickly sweet chemical orangeyness like you'd get out of a bottle of supermarket soda. This is barely beer.
Mouthfeel: actually refreshing and tart with good carbonation, the only decent thing to be had here. Wheaty dryness at the end of the sip
Drinkability: refreshing and zinging with carbonation, easy to drink despite its problems.

I drank this from the bottle into a pint glass.
The beer pours a dark gold with a litle hint of gold with very light head and lacing.
The aroma is very strong, all tangerine, very sweet and citrusy.
The taste is horrible, one of the worse things I've ever head. Its super carbonated and fizzy, worse than drinking a super carbonated sparlking water. To make it worse the taste is horrible, its all fizz, not sweetness at all, just biting fizz.
The feel is horrible, and this is a total drank pourer.
Nothing worth drinking, not a fruit or lambic style beer.

Got this one in a trade with nickd717. Thanks, Nick. I'm sorry to say that I don't quite understand your fervor for this beer.
Appearance: Orange, fizzy and cloudy. The head dissipates in a matter of seconds. It's like pouring soda.
Smell: Tang.
Taste & mouthfeel: Fermented Tang. This literally tastes exactly like Tang, minus the sweetness.
Drinkability: If I had kids, this is what I'd put in their lunchboxes. Personally, I'll stick to beer that doesn't taste like soda.

Pours a hazy yellow-orange colour, with a soda-bubbling head that fizzes and fizzles, leaving absolutely nothing whatsoever. I looks like a soft drink. Extremely flat and empty, and thin and sugary. I'm unimpressed.
Nose is hugely sweet and citrussy, almost indistinguishable from Fanta. OK, perhaps it is a little more genuinely fruity than Fanta, but jeez it's not far off. Little else. It's weak, sweet and insipid.
Taste is unfortunate, even given the nose. Initial faint tangerine character on the front, which gets muted and then smashed by a grainy wheat acidity that is just different enough from the citrus acidity to throw the whole palate off balance. Very light feel, not even with the carbonation you expect for the sweetness. Finish is dichotomously weak and cloying.
Very unpleasant beer this one. It's not a refreshing fruit beer, it's an unfortunate and insipid one. Very little to recommend it, even if you're a fan of the style.

Despite inner-ring suburban problems, communities like Ferguson, Missouri, have significant potential for revival.
We can't over-simplify the dynamics of all that has happened in Ferguson, but it's obvious that our platform for building places is creating dynamics primed for social upheaval.
In Leawood, Kansas, the front-yard book kiosk of 9-year-old resident Spencer Collins was cited as an illegal accessory structure.
Smart growth and smart transportation – as important as they are to the future of our communities and our planet – are not nearly enough to produce sustainable communities.
The School of Architecture's tradition of community outreach continues through the Capstone Workshop held in the Little Santo Domingo area of Allapattah from May 19-May 23. The workshop assists communities with visioning, architecture, urban design strategies, feasibility studies and development scenarios.
What if our family had lived in a walkable neighborhood? These sorts of places are the ones rich in social networks, which – interestingly – build neural networks.
While some Main Streets seem well past their prime, others – like Corning's – remain thriving to this day. Why? Location is important, but design and context also matter.
The new American Dream is about place, and that brings people and communities together. The 20th Century American Dream tended to pull cities and towns apart.
For three generations, the American Dream was largely defined by continual suburban expansion. A new urban dream has emerged, and it is here to stay.

Extend the Tube to Camberwell & Peckham
Camberwell and Peckham are poorly served by public transport, and in particular by the underground system. Most residents have to travel into central London by bus or train, with long journey times. As the Mayor of London considers his 2020 Vision and plans for major infrastructure investment in the next decade, we call on him to commit to extending the Bakerloo line to Camberwell and Peckham in order to improve public transport for current and future residents, and to help bring jobs and growth to this part of London.
Deborah Cuthbertson
The benefits would be amazing. At the moment the Denmark Hill overground is limited at weekends. No later train at night. A direct train into town would save loads of time meeting up with friends.
Sarah Jenner
Yes please we really need better links into central.
Peckham and Camberwell in particular are stuck in a rail-less void in the middle of South London, and would benefit MASSIVELY from a tube extension or new branch line. The area has been grossly underserved by transport development and needs serious investment to improve links in the area, and a tube extension would relieve the often considerable traffic congestion on roads in these areas.

HONG KONG, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite growing concern with quality of life issues such as pollution, almost one-half of surveyed executives in the world's second-largest economy judge themselves capable of balancing work and play, and all things considered, are fairly content with their lives. One in five is now "bourgeois" enough to call upon the services of a consultant or personal trainer.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20030303/LNM011LOGO-b )
These findings are based on a nationwide survey of 1,320 businesspeople conducted by China's premier management portal, Chief Executive China Online several weeks prior to the Lunar New Year. Two-thirds of respondents are managers, including one-quarter holding the post of director or higher.
The portrait of the China manager that emerges from the 21-question survey is surprisingly upbeat:
- One-half find the environment where they reside to be "acceptable";
- Just under half claim they regularly feel "happy";
- Eight out of 10 find stress levels at work acceptable; and
- Only one out of five is markedly dissatisfied with his or her current salary.
Intriguingly, three factors impact heavily on whether these executives perceive themselves as happy, but perhaps not in the way one might expect: location, marital status and income.
Some 38 percent of respondents live in China's first-tier cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen). They are far more concerned about the threat posed by environmental pollution than those based elsewhere, and overall, those dwelling in third-tier urban or rural settings appear more satisfied with their surroundings.
In terms of marital status, those answering that they are "often happy" are seven times more likely to have a spouse.
It is widely held that the greater one's income the more content one feels, but perhaps only up to a point. According to the survey, "happiness" peaks at RMB800,000 a year (US$128,000) and then drops off quite a bit.
In 1992, Global Sources launched Chief Executive China. It is now a multiple-channel medium -- with website, monthly magazine, and iPad and mobile phone editions -- serving a community of more than 2 million registered executives in China who seek insight into global management theory and practice.
The survey is free for download at Chief Executive China Online http://www.ceconline.com/strategy/ma/8800066088/106c609701/.

A problem shared and an act of kindness
... but before we leave dry land we decide to have some hummus with flatbreads and Arabian coffee. The coffee was a surprise, quite weak which was disappointing, but highly spiced, there was definitely cardamom and lots of it, but we can't say for certainty what else was in it. The hummus was whipped to a smooth and creamy consistency with warm bread straight from the griddle, absolutely excellent. We get back on the ship, shower, see a show and eat a very late dinner, what a great ...

This should be my shortest blog post of the trip. Oman: not much going on here. While many in the rest of the group flew on to Dubai for a night, we thought it would be more relaxing and surely less costly to avoid Dubai and have the opportunity to see more of Oman. Our only hint at something potentially interesting was to visit the souk, so that's where we headed. Looking for a taxi stand, we asked a man in his car for directions.

Curing Ear Infections Naturally
By Marcy Franklin
Whether it's your child—or you—who's saddled with an ear infection, odds are you'll try anything to ease the pain. To the rescue: garlic and mullein. Garlic's antimicrobial properties kill the infection, while the anti-inflammatory properties of mullein tackle the pain, says herbalist Brigitte Mars, author of The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine (Basic Health, 2007). Mars recommends keeping a solution of garlic and mullein on hand throughout the cold season. To make your own, chop up 6 to 8 cloves of garlic, and mix with 2 tablespoons of dried mullein flowers. Cover with 4 tablespoons olive oil, let it steep for 10 days, and strain. Two or three drops in the infected ear several times a day will do the job for both you and your kids, but make sure the eardrum isn't punctured (symptoms include pain, change in hearing, dizziness, and fluid or blood draining from the ear) before you put the drops in the ear canal or they could badly damage your eardrum. If you don't want to make your own, pick up mullein and garlic ear drops at the health food store. We like Herbs Etc. Mullein/Garlic Ear Drops ($12.98, 1 oz; herbsetc.com ). —MF

Some fruit vendors in China have gone above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to sell their fruit by dressing their peaches in miniature panties and marketing them as sexy butt peaches (there's a sentence I never thought I would have to write).
We've written about the advantages of creative product packaging, but these guys just took it to the next level. The sexy butt-shaped-peaches (which are suggestively being called "Ripe Fruit") are being sold in anticipation of the romantic Qixi festival. A box of nine costs 498 yuan, or $80 USD.

Texas breeder develops new sorghum for Central America
A new brown midrib sorghum variety will help small farming and livestock operations in Central America, according to its developer, Bill Rooney, Ph.D., a Texas A&M AgriLife Research plant breeder in College Station.
Rooney and his team collaborated with Rene Clara and his colleagues at the Centro Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria y Forestal in El Salvador in an effort to develop "CI0947bmr," a brown midrib, dual-purpose sorghum for Central America.
The four-year project was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development-funded International Sorghum and Millet Collaborative Research Support Program and the U.S. AID Feed the Future program.
Environmental conditions in Central America make the production of high quality forage challenging, Rooney said. The tropical environment hosts significant pests and pathogens that attack and reduce both yield and quality if they are not managed.
Also, the seasonality of rainfall limits forage production during the dry season. The rainy period occurs between mid-May and mid-July; this season is the most productive for crops. A second cropping season is completed in the transitional period of August to November.
The new sorghum variety was selected because it possesses the unique combination of agronomic adaptation, biomass and grain yield, as well as improved forage quality due to the presence of the brown midrib trait, Rooney said.
Productivity of the Central American livestock and dairy industries is often hindered by a lack of appropriate forage cultivars that provide sufficient quantity and quality forage or silage.
"Our goal was to deliver a brown midrib sorghum variety that could be used for forage, silage and grain production in the Central America region," Rooney said. "Many dairies in the region are small and rely on locally grown forages. Often that forage is sorghum, so it made sense to introduce or integrate the brown midrib trait into sorghum there."
He said this newly developed variety is designed to provide the smaller livestock operations and dairies there with access to improved forage quality without sacrificing dry matter yield, grain yield or grain quality.
"The bmr mutations result in lower lignin (woody cellulose) content in the plant, providing higher forage digestibility while also increasing palatability," Rooney said. "The animals eat more so you get improved rates of gain."
"CI0947bmr" is a dual-purpose variety that can be grown exclusively as a forage or silage or as a grain crop with the crop residue used as forage, he said. In addition, the crop will ratoon and multiple crops can be produced from a single planting.
"This provides farmers with small acreage access to an improved forage variety that they can save the seed from year to year. It also has a good grain quality, so they can harvest the grain and use it separately or integrate it into the silage crop."
While a number of brown midrib varieties were worked on across the region, the Texas A&M release was most widely adapted across Central America from Guatemala to Panama, Rooney said.
CI0947bmr was officially released by several National Agricultural Research Programs: in Guatemala as ICTA F947; in El Salvador as CENTA S-3bmr; and in Nicaragua as INTA CI0947. A future release is planned for Panama.
In Central America, seed of CI0947bmr is maintained and is available upon request from Centro Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria y Forestal, or CENTA, in San Andres, San Salvador, El Salvador. In the U.S., seed is maintained and available upon request from personnel in the Texas A&M University department of soil and crop sciences in College Station.

Like a micro-morality play about the Earth-sogging potential of global warming, my 8-year-old Kenmore side-by-side gave out this weekend, rendering the Fox den a veritable estuary of thawed chicken breasts, gyoza and half-empty pints of Ben & Jerry's.
We threw it all out. Do not judge me. You didn't see how disgusting it was, and we don't have quite the relationship with our neighbors that we would need to request frozen-food sanctuary. The silver lining is that we're finally shed of the four unconsolidatible jars of mismatched relish, the Ziploc bag of duck breasts from someone's (whose?) long-ago hunting trip, and the HotPockets I bought on a BOGO sale a couple of years back.
It remains to be seen whether we will have to get a new refrigerator or if this one is salvageable. Either way though, we gotta get all new groceries. If you were starting from scratch to fill your fridge and freezer--keeping in mind you have three little people and one ice cream addict in the house--what would be your baseline purchases?

Dave Coresh - Love&Money
Artist: Dave Coresh
Featuring: Chuck L.i.
Producer: Dave Coresh and C Sabbs
Album: E. L. E.
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 6 total votes )
If you aren't familiar with Dave Coresh, you should know that the man loves money. You should also know that he isn't the only one with his eyes on the green. Joining the Chicago emcee on Love&Money, are fellow entrepreneurs, Gatz & Goods and Booth veteran Chuck L.i. On the new single, each emcee spits about their infatuation with currency and what lengths they will go to get more of it. Coresh, with a little help from C Sabbs, concocts a dense beat, built around a female vocal sample, as well as an ever so slight low-pitched whirr. Love&Money can be found on Coresh's forthcoming, acronym-titled album, E. L. E., which stands for Everybody Love Everybody.

The online journal to Offscreen — for all the things that don't fit into the magazine. We regularly publish behind-the-scenes posts about the making of an indie magazine. Why not grab the RSS feed and follow along?
Support Offscreen and help us continue to produce a beautiful print publication! Grab the latest issue, subscribe or buy back issues.
A super quick time-lapse video tour around the (shared) Offscreen office here in Melbourne. Love the sunlight we're getting, but ask me again in three months when we're in the middle of this city's brutal summers. :)
I usually don't reveal any parts of the line-up of a new issue before its release, but with No9 I'm gonna make an exception. The amazing Patrick Collison, co-founder of Stripe, is one of our six interviewees in this upcoming issue.
I thought it would be fun to show you guys a bit of the process of laying out a new interview in InDesign, so I made this time-lapse video, condensing roughly 70 minutes into 10. Note that further iterations of the design are likely. For the final (and legible) version, you'll have to buy a copy when the issue is finally out. By the way, you can already subscribe for this and future issues to automatically be part of the first shipment when No9 goes out in early/mid September.
For a larger version, watch this video on YouTube.
A couple of people recently asked me if I could do a 'Day in the Life' piece about my own day. I had a bit of time in between editing the new issue and retouching photos today, so here you go:
7:15am — The custom alarm tune on my iPhone gently wakes me. I've given up resisting the urge to check my emails in bed a long time ago. I quickly scan the 32 unanswered emails. Some good, some bad, one with the subject line 'Sorry dude'. I wait with opening that one till after I had my first coffee.
7:45am — Pants are on, teeth are brushed. Time to check the weather: looking good enough for the five-minute bike ride to Code Black, one of about five local cafés and unofficial Offscreen 'subsidiaries'. I inhale a banana on the way to my bike.
8:00am — Armed with a Long Black I get started with emails: a couple of stockist enquiries, a few contributors asking for feedback, some submissions, some bills to be paid, and a reader from Slovenia asking about the whereabouts of his shipment. Oh yeah, and that apologetic email from an interviewee dropping out last minute. Thanks!
9:30am — After getting most of the emailing done, I'm scouring the web and my database of 'Persons of Interest' to find a worthy replacement for the newly opened interview slot. One of the more difficult parts of running a magazine: locating and then soliciting busy people to see whether they can help you out on short notice.
10:15am — I'm starting to slouch — a good sign to get up and move to a new spot. I'll grab a bag of coffee beans, pay up and ride home.
10:30am — A reminder of Melbourne's unpredictable weather: I arrive slightly soaked. Time to put the heater on (yes, we have winters in Australia too!) and get the kettle going for a brew in the Chemex. I love the ritual of making coffee as much as I like drinking it…
10:45am — Back to work with coffee in hand. I love my standing desk, perhaps the best investment I ever made. Today I'm getting started with some photo retouching for the new issue, so I'll get the Spyder Express out to calibrate my external monitor.
11:15am — Still getting used to working in Lightroom. Half of the time I'm not sure what I'm clicking at. Google is my friend.
12:45pm — Lunch time. Glad to find some leftovers in the fridge. I turn on the news to be reminded of people's inability to coexist in the world. I turn it off when Australia's prime minister comes on to propose a business case for delisting Tasmanian World Heritage forest.
1:15pm — I open up the essays from three contributors in Google Drive to do some editing and provide a first round of feedback. This is good stuff!
2:30pm — More Gmail action: I email my proof-reader to synchronise our schedules. A look at my Content Plan for issue No9 suggests that six contributors are already running late. I follow up with them via email to set new deadlines. Let's hope they get back to me at all!
3:15pm — Browsing behance, flickr and 500px to locate a photographer in Florida. My tiny budget filters down my options to about one.
4:30pm — I log into Offscreen's order management system and quickly go through last week's orders to make sure all the shipping address details seem correct. After exporting current orders, I'll email my shipper in Berlin so they can get those orders out as soon as they start their day in Europe.
4:45pm — With another trip to Germany on the horizon, I'll search for accommodation in Berlin on Airbnb. This place comes with a Chemex. Should I?
5:15pm — I go for a quick run, usually around 8km, before the rain is coming back. It's my favourite (and only?) way to clear the head and get some proper thinking done.
6:15pm — After a shower I'm checking in on Twitter, Facebook and the like to see what everyone else has been up to. I jump on Tumblr and press the 'Publish' button on a post I've been holding off on for a few days. I love sharing some of the behind-the-scenes stuff with my readers and getting feedback from it. It's humbling to know people actually care about my ramblings from time to time.
6:30pm — My girlfriend is back from work. We have a quick 'catch up' before heading out to get groceries for tonight's dinner. That's when I appreciate living in the city — our local fruit and veg shop is just 50 meters up the road.
7:30pm — While dinner is cooking, I jump on Skype to confirm the production schedule of issue No9 with my printer in Berlin. They always love getting a call with last minute changes from the other side of the world. ;)
8:15pm — Dinner time, often accompanied by an episode of a TV show. It's Fargo at the moment.
9:30pm — Time for cleaning up the kitchen, my part in the daily dinner ritual.
10:30pm — I have a quick Facetime chat with my mum in Germany, explaining for the 24th time how to add a new contact to her iPad's contact list. I think she's got it, for today.
11:00pm — One last email check to see if my printer has confirmed the paper delivery for the next issue. He hasn't, so I guess it's time to log off for today and worry about it tomorrow.
11:15pm — I try to conquer at least three or four long-form articles in my Pocket reading list before getting some shut-eye.
As I'm going through a pile of receipts to prepare my taxes (the Australian financial year ends in June — we're weird like that), I've just realised that I've been doing quite a bit of public speaking these last 12 months. Considering that I always thought of myself as an introvert — and still do — I'm just wondering how that happened.
Had you asked me two years ago to do a talk in front of 250 people, you probably would have seen me faint before you finished your question. So what changed? Not entirely sure, but here's what I've learned about public speaking so far:
Speaking of speaking: I'll be doing another talk at this year's The Modern Magazine conference in London in September. Come!
Last week I sent out a bunch of emails to people who (according to my database) haven't bought issue No8. I asked for feedback on their experience with the magazine overall, the content, the production values, and the website itself. Within 48 hours I had more than 120 replies sitting in my inbox.
All of the comments were constructive (YAY!) and most were positive. Some of you voiced some very valid criticism or offered ideas for improvements which I gladly took note of. Some of these points came up more than once, and so I want to answer them here in public.
I really loved some of the proposed changes. While I will keep these in mind, of course, please remember that Offscreen is still a one-man band. There is just me doing everything. If I had a team of writers or the budget for a travelling photographer, I could do all kinds of amazing stories. The reality is that I already work really long hours to get an issue done within 3-4 months, and within my budget.
I look in envy at some of my magazine-making friends who have several colleagues reinventing their product with every issue. Being a team of one means that all the steps, from content planing to content creation to editing to designing the entire publication, has to happen fairly chronologically allowing only a few weeks for each step in order to get at least three issues out per year.
So yeah, new ideas are always welcome, but their feasibility depends on my production schedule and my budget.
This is a feature I've been wanting myself for a long time. Currently, you can only order three-issue subscriptions that you then have to renew manually. Auto-renewing subscription would almost certainly help sell more copies. The answer why this feature doesn't exist yet is a bit more complex than you may expect.
When I first set up the Offscreen website, I decided PayPal was the quickest and easiest way to collect money (being based in Australia, there was no such thing as Stripe or Pin at the time). Based on the PayPal API, a developer friend of mine and I created an order management system that powers the back-end of Offscreen and helps me manage all orders and subscriptions. It's a custom piece of inventory software that runs entirely on PayPal's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) system.
Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't allow me to charge people infrequently. You can charge for ongoing subscriptions, yes, but only if they occur on the exact day every week/month/year. Offscreen issues occur infrequently, so I need a system that allows me to press a 'charge now' button whenever a new issue is published.
I would have to move away from PayPal (which I'd be very happy to do!) and use a service like Stripe or Pin. However, this means that I will have to almost entirely redesign my order management system. Since I'm not a developer, the programming work will easily run into $5000+, money I don't really have right now.
There are other issues with switching from PayPal: although most people complain about PayPal, many of us still have 'free money' sitting in our accounts and my stats tell me that most people still prefer to use PayPal rather than their credit card. I'm wondering if a switch to credit card only would affect sales. (Anyone got any stats on that?)
One more reason why I haven't moved on from PayPal: Offscreen charges in US dollars. Since I live in Australia, I will eventually have to convert my income to Australian dollars. PayPal allows me to keep two different currency accounts until the conversion rate is in my favour. If I use other services, incoming payments are converted to my local currency instantly. In early 2013 I would have lost 15-20% on every payment simply due to a very strong Aussie dollar.
Believe me, I'm asking myself the same question all the time. I'm well aware that diversity is a huge issue in our industry, I've talked about this before. As you may know, I'm not the only one struggling with this problem.
There really is no proper answer that doesn't sound like a cheap excuse.
I've been trying really hard (to the best of my ability, see 'one-man band' above) to improve upon this, but the reality is that our industry is dominated by white men. From all the projects/stories I come across or I'm digging up, 90% — it seems — have a white, male (often American) entrepreneur behind it.
When I ask my readers for suggestions, the quality of responses I get is unfortunately not very high. Many of the emails I get are about a startup doing amazing UX work, beautiful designs, or cutting-edge code. That's all really great to hear, but Offscreen is a magazine about people. I want to feature unique, inspiring human stories behind tech-driven projects — ideally not just happening in the US, but around the world, in less popular places, and then hopefully not initiated by another white guy. As a result I put a lot of contacts/stories that are suggested to me on the back burner.
Issue No8 was a step into the right direction, with small contributions from places like Syria, India, Mexico and Rwanda. The gender ratio is still way out of whack though.
Would you believe me that I contacted six female entrepreneurs for an interview in that issue and got one reply in total from a PR agency asking me to come by their office in SFO to conduct the interview?
I send out a lot of email requests and often follow up on Twitter, but with a team of one and a clear deadline approaching, if all you have is male contributors replying to your questions, what do you do? Should I rather stop making Offscreen than letting one gender dominate? Should we cancel conferences where the gender/diversity balance is insufficient? These are not rhetorical questions, I really wonder how far we should go in order to see the change we want.
I'm writing this knowing that it might stir up a strong debate (again!) because it's a very difficult issue. I have spoken and will speak to any person who has experience in this area and can provide practical advice to improve this situation.
But a simple complaint about diversity isn't helping. We all know it's a sad state of affairs. If you want to contribute constructively to solving the problem, help me find these uniquely inspiring individuals from around the globe that haven't been interviewed a million times before, speak good enough English and are approachable via email. As I said, I'm after more than just a talented designer or a great coder. There needs to be a great story.
I know what you mean. I agree that our industry (society?) often idolises success too much. For many making a ton of money is the ultimate endgame. I have my own problems with that, too.
Firstly, I think starting with issue No7 I've managed to bring more balance into the magazine, profiling people that not necessarily hit the 'exit headlines' on TechCrunch, but rather use tech/the web to be creative or work hard towards a goal because they are passionate about a particular idea. I'm also very actively trying to aim for a good mix of more and lesser known faces.
The interviews I do are very long (often 4500 words). If I interview someone just starting out, I doubt it would make for an interesting read. People that have successfully built a company or product over a longer period of time usually have gone through a huge learning period and made a lot of mistakes along the way. That's the inspiring part that I'm interested in.
I'm not sure how much value you'd get out of a magazine that interviews people with 'average' ideas that haven't really taken off. Note that not the monetary success is important here, but the fact that a unique idea sparked a huge change or demand, because it's new or different. In our industry that often means that you're either already making money or have received money from investors. Whether the latter could be considered a success story often remains to be seen. But as with everything else in the magazine, if you know interesting exceptions to the above, please tell me about them!
As said, every typical 'success story' usually comes with a lot of failures and challenges along the way. Success is never a straight line. The interviews are about the ups and the downs. After all, it's a magazine that aims to highlight the potential, the creativity and the passion of people behind technology and the web. While I'm a huge fan of critical thinking and showing both sides of the fence, stories of ambition with a successful end are usually what inspire us most.
Again, any great ideas for stories or contributors are welcome. Remember that I need to be able to reach/contact them somehow — usually via email.
My latest blog post triggered a lot of heartwarming offers for help in getting the word out about Offscreen. Thanks so much!
While I still haven't found the 'ideal candidate' (?) for the role described, so many of you are willing to promote the magazine within your circle of friends and colleagues and your local web scene, which is fantastic.
Almost every day I receive emails that usually end with "If I can ever help in any way, let me know." Due to the amount of emails, it's difficult to take you guys up on your offer, which is sad, because I can really use all the help I can get — in particular with the promotional side of things.
So here are 10 simple ways you can support Offscreen:
It's as easy as that. Every single copy counts and helps make the magazine a viable business and full-time job for me.
Tell your social media friends about Offscreen and be prepared for the default answer, "Print-only, really?" Once you receive your copy, show or lend it to your friends and colleagues, and see their fascination for the printed word come alive (again).
It's the perfect magazine for the office: put it in your cafeteria or in the reception area where clients are waiting. It's also a great gift or additional perk for new employees.
If you have a blog, consider writing a short review with a few photos about your experience with Offscreen.
This could potentially have a huge impact: if you have a direct contact at a popular blog, publication, magazine or other media outlet, get in touch with them to tell them how much you like Offscreen and why it should get more exposure.
If you frequent a well-stocked book or design shop in your city, take your copy with you and show it to them. I'm always interested in extending my stockist list.
Events are great for meeting like-minded folks. You'll be loved even more for introducing them to a beautiful magazine they have never heard of. ;) If you are organising an event, email me to get a few free give-away copies.
Starting with issue No8 up to 25 people can become a patron, support the magazine financially, and get their name printed in the back.
If you are in a unique position to promote the magazine (at a conference, during a business trip, a meeting with the editor of the New York Times, etc.) Please get in touch to request a few promotional copies.
Although the list of potential contributors is constantly growing, I'm still interested in finding inspiring candidates for our interviews (especially of underrepresented groups). If you are in contact with such a person, please introduce them to the magazine first and see whether they'd be interested in being published. Then get in touch.
In a conversation with Matt from Bugherd (our newest blog partner), he asked me how extending the Offscreen 'team' could help grow the magazine. It's a great question that I should ask myself more often.
Growing the magazine into something bigger than a one-person operation brings to light the typical entrepreneur's dilemma: in order to grow your business you need to hire staff and start delegating tasks, but without sufficient funds how can you hire someone to push sales that allow for this growth to occur?
I admit, I've always considered myself a really bad salesperson. (In fact, I feel kinda dirty just spelling out the words 'sales' and 'growth' in one sentence.) This is partly because I really dislike dealing with sales and PR people. When it comes to my own work I usually prefer to let other people judge for themselves whether it is worthy of their money. I realise though that this is probably not how you grow a successful business.
Long story short, I think it's time for me to reach out for some help in promoting Offscreen. I'm hesitant in calling this a marketing, PR or sales role, purely because all of these titles come with hugely negative connotations. (I think the last time I replied to an email from a PR person was simply to remind them of good email etiquette.)
So, if you…
we may be a good fit. You would be helping me with…
In short: I'm looking for someone to promote Offscreen and help grow our readership in a professional, but friendly and approachable way.
I'm currently not looking at hiring someone full time, but rather on a freelance basis or as an internship. The workload would vary from month to month with most of the work to be done in the lead-up to the launch of a new issue. Of course, you can work from anywhere in the world, but keep in mind that your English needs to be top-notch. From experience, being located in a major city, such as NYC, SFO, London or Berlin, usually helps with establishing media contacts.
If you or someone you know roughly fits the above profile, please get in touch and let me know. Thanks! :)
As with the previous issue I've just completed my donation to the World Land Trust to help preserve threatened habitats. Sustainability is important to me. If you feel the same, go 'buy' some land…
After some hesitation about whether it would work or not and how to price it, I've launched the Offscreen Patron program yesterday. You can now support Offscreen with a one-off payment of $100 and have your name (or that of your company) printed in the back of an issue. These patrons slots are limited to a maximum of 25 and a third of them already sold yesterday.
If you enjoy Offscreen and would like to make a contribution that goes beyond buying your own copy, becoming a patron is a simple and subtle way to help ensure Offscreen's financial sustainability.
This is still very much a trial and I'll be reporting back on the results after the launch of issue No8. Stay tuned.
Issue No7 saw a refresh of the magazine's typography. While the overwhelming majority of the feedback was positive, a few of you have enquired about the reasons behind the change, clearly stating that they're missing Calluna as the primary typeface. There was certainly nothing 'wrong' with my original choice of Calluna as a text family and Cyclone (later Tungsten) for headlines. Hopefully my contemplations below will explain some of the decisions that went into making the change.
In October last year I announced some updates to the editorial direction of the magazine which provided me with an opportunity to introduce visual changes as well. I've learned that it's quite difficult to stick to (and still be happy with) the creative direction I decided on when I set out on this journey. The first issue of Offscreen was indeed an experiment, and although I have made smaller improvements with each issue since, I was starting to feel hampered by a visual style that didn't really seem to evolve with my experience in publishing. In short, I wanted to try something new.
Since launching my inaugural issue, I've been inspired by so many great new indie mags, like Outpost, Magazine B, Hello Mr, to name a few. The typography in those magazines really struck a chord with me over the last year or so and when I compared it to Offscreen, my work started to feel a little clunky.
The decision to start from scratch felt liberating. All options were on the table. After going through many of my favourite magazines for inspiration, I came to the conclusion that introducing a sans-serif, secondary typeface would break up the repetitive feel throughout the features and add a more 'contemporary' touch.
I would use this secondary typeface for smaller features, sidebars, colophon, pull-quotes — basically anything but more extensive narrative parts. When digging through publications with a particularly contemporary design approach, I realised that the use of Helvetica or Futura has become a quasi-standard in modern publishing — one I got quickly tired of. Both of those typefaces offer unique 'unbiased' features that make them compatible with pretty much any serif type. It's great to have such a muli-talent at your disposal, but I was after something more distinctive — something with a bit more character. Another criteria to keep in mind was how wide the font was running in the magazine. With Offscreen's small format, space is a rare commodity, so the wider text runs in narrow columns, the more it is hyphenated which negatively affects its legibility.
For longer stories and interviews I was trying to find a more versatile serif type that could also be used for headlines and subtitles. I still love Calluna for its huge character set, beautiful ligatures and the variety of weights, but unfortunately it lacks a headline family. It's just not made for blowing up to 60pts where its playful, tilted serifs cause a weird lack of stability. In addition, my hope was to improve legibility of the body text by either increasing the font-size slightly or by using a typeface with a bigger x-height.
With the above in mind I went on a hunt for new typefaces. Over the past months and years I've collected quite a few links and screenshots of foundries and typefaces that stood out to me. After a couple of weeks of exploring and comparing, I narrowed my choice down to the following options:
Graphik by Commercial Type
FF Kievit by FontFont
FF Mark by FontFont
National by Klim
Adelle Sans by TypeTogether
Lyon by Commercial Type
Publico by Commercial Type
Domaine by Klim
Tiempos by Klim
As with my original choice of typefaces, one selection criteria was the availability of webfonts (or a hosted solution like Typekit) to bring a similar brand experience to the screen. I'm happy to say that most of the typefaces I had my eyes on provided web-ready versions — most of them by means of self-hosting.
Final choice
Adelle Sans by TypeTogether — There is something very friendly and approachable about this sans-serif typeface. It conveys modernity in an unpretentious way and without the stigma of hipsterdom we've managed to attach to Helvetica. It also runs quite narrowly if needed and works well in small sizes which makes it perfect for compact publications such as Offscreen. Not to mention that it comes in all the weights you could wish for and has one of the most elegant italic styles I've seen in a sans-serif typeface. Lastly, I should mention that Veronika from TypeTogether was extremely helpful and responsive with providing trial licenses and answers to my silly questions.
Tiempos Text & Tiempos Headline by Klim — It only takes one quick look at Kris Sowersby's website to be in awe of his skills. I've always loved Kris' work. Ever since I first laid eyes on his typefaces, I was looking for an excuse to make use of them. Tiempos satisfies pretty much all of my requirements: versatile, bigger x-height, a separate headline family… and gosh it's beautiful! Kris was helpful and accommodating in my requests, though I would have appreciated the availability of a trial license (see below). Another little gripe was the lack of tiers in the pricing structure for his webfonts. It would be fairer to price webfonts according to (estimated) visitor numbers rather than request a lump sum from all clients — small or big. Alternatively, he could use a service like Fontdeck to provide a usage-based pricing model that makes his work more accessible to sites with a smaller audience. (The cost played into my decision not to combine Tiempos with Kris' National — another great sans-serif typeface and a natural combo for Tiempos.)
In my opinion, Adelle Sans and the Tiempos families compliment each other very nicely. The 'edgy', more serious newspaper feel of Tiempos is offset by the rounder, more playful Adelle Sans. Headlines set in Tiempos Headline Black strike just the right balance between decorative and practical relevance. When setting the type in Indesign, a lot of thought went into matching sizes and weights to achieve a clear hierarchy (hence Adelle Sans is set in Light for text and Semibold for emphasis and subtitles.)
As with anything, I'll continue to tweak, improve and adjust the typography in the magazine. So far I've been really happy with my decision, and if sales and feedback are anything to go by, most of you are too. Now let's see how long my own appreciation for the choices I've made will last. ;)
A few words on trial licenses: As you can imagine, type foundries are very reluctant to simply give out the source files of years of hard work for anyone to play with. Most of the foundries I approached were happy to issue a trial license after confirming my details. However, some (including Klim) do not offer trials, which makes testing a typeface (even just one weight/style) a very costly experiment. I can understand the hesitation here, of course, but not being able to test-drive a new car is a big turn-off. One foundry (which for the life of me I can't recall right now) offered a direct download of one weight of its typeface with a few characters inside the font file replaced by happy smiley faces. This was a 'good enough' solution for me to get an initial feel for the typeface. More foundries should try this approach, IMHO.

Bill de Blasio speaks about his father's military service on Veterans Day
Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio made a rare testimonial about his deceased father during a speech honoring veterans like him Monday.
"For so many of us, this is a day we think about larger issues that confront our nation, we think about the men and women that have served. But for a lot of us, of course, it's very personal," de Blasio said at a ceremony before marching in the Veterans Day Parade.
"In my family, the service of our family members framed so much of our lives. My father served in the Pacific of World War II in combat, in a number of key battles, including the Battle of Okinawa where he lost his leg. And he carried the physical and emotional challenges ever after," de Blasio said.
Warren Wilhelm struggled with alcoholism and divorced from de Blasio's mother when the mayor-elect was young. He eventually killed himself while battling cancer in 1979.
Born Warren Wilhelm Jr., de Blasio legally took his mother's maiden name in college. De Blasio seldom speaks about his father.
De Blasio said he and his wife, Chirlane McCray, both had parents who were involved in the war effort directly. His mother worked at the Office of War Information during World War II.
McCray's father served in the Army in Eurpoe and her mother worked at the Springfield Armory.
"The stories, the memories, the meaning of that, carried on until this day," de Blasio said.
De Blasio promised that that his upcoming administration would continue in the tradition of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose efforts to help veterans he praised.
Bloomberg told the audience that they were "blessed" to have de Blasio as mayor-elect.
During his own remarks, a heckler in army fatigues stood up and shouted at Bloomberg.
"F— you! Power to the people!" the man said, mumbling "stop stop-and-frisk" before being led out of the audience.
Responding calmly with "okay" and "thank you," Bloomberg added, "Let me just point out something, in no other country could somebody do that."
The mayor also said that he would continue to honor veterans next year, though he won't share a stage with de Blasio.
"When I was first elected mayor, there was still smoke rising from the World Trade Center site and that was a very difficult time — our men and women in the armed forces were bravely stepping up to confront new threats and ensure our safety," Bloomberg said. "Because of them, our city and our nation has kept growing."

Saves submitted form data to the database and allow you to export the data to a file and use short codes to display it.
Testing and working well. Perfect for exporting lists.
A great tool to do basic editing and delete functions. For it to be a 5* product for me it would need to add a couple of functions.
Specifically the ability to re-order the columns that you have on screen (it wouldn't need to re-order them in the underlying table).
Secondly it would be useful if you could do a bulk update in a column for selected items in that column.
Apart from that a great product that has allowed me to develop and add on to my my form as I have realised that it has fields missing without having to re-create the table behind it.
this is great plugin but when you import from CSV to Excel the Arabic get missed up I guess multi language need to be fixed other than that I like this plugin and I use it a lot plus I did a donation :).
The only plugin that does it.

text: Modern software commonly exhibits features like concurrency, distribution, unbounded data domains, dynamic data-structures and recursion. These result in state spaces of arbitrary sizes and introduce subtle behaviors whose correctness is notoriously difficult to check. In this context, size refers to the number of threads and variables values, depth of the stack or amount of allocated heap. These difficulties are exacerbated by the unavoidable rise of multicore computers and by the imperative need to parallelize both new and legacy software. Due to inherent technological limitations, most commercialized stationary computers have nowadays a multicore inside. Future computers will contain more and more cores, requiring more and more concurrent or parallel code to be produced. The challenge is to get the most of the potential multicore computers do offer, but without getting overwhelmed by the complexity of the software bugs. It is indeed notoriously arduous to write correct concurrent programs because of the high intricacy of their behaviors. In addition to the bugs commonly found in sequential code, those found in concurrent code are essentially due to unexpected interleavings between the actions of the concurrent programs. Building techniques to help the programmer check the behavior of concurrent programs, to track bugs in order to fix them, and ultimately, to prove their absence is a challenging yet crucial task. Without such help, the nightmare of manually ensuring correctness of concurrent computer programs will only worsen.

Doug Upstone Sports Picks
We are proud to present the free selections from theBlack Widow here on our site. One of the most recognized names in the business, the Black Widow has been providing his expert sports picks to his clients for many successful years. If you want another name you can trust besides Bill Young this year, then this is one service that we fully recommend you take a look at. This service specializes in making winning football picks, so definitely be on the lookout in the fall for all of the college and NFL picks that they release. If you like parlays, teasers, or just want some additional games then it is better to have more than one handicapper service. There are only a couple different guys who can compete with Jimmy Boyd on the gridiron, and the Widow is about as close as it gets.
Sports Handicapper Picks
Doug Upstone has been breaking down games and picking winners for almost his entire adult life. He spends his time watching and analyzing games, whether it is live action or taped. Doug scribbles notes on each one and has acculumalted an impressive library of information that goes back to the late 80s.
Doug has his own power rankings that he formulates for each one of the sports that he handicaps. He uses these rankings to come up with his own odds on each game. Then he follows the fundamentals to make sure he comes up with strong winners.
If you live in the Phoenix area then you probably have heard Doug on sports radio. Or if you have been lucky enough to be one of his clients the past few years then you have witnesses season after season of winners. His handicapping abilities have brought him numerous awards and he will continue to profit now that he has joined our site.
When it comes to educating gamblers on the finer points of handicapping, Doug is one of the best. He writes articles each day on his site 3 Daily winners. If you read just a few pieces of his work then you will quicky recognize that this guy knows his stuff.
Doug ranks his plays on a 1-5 star scale. The "5" star plays are extremely well but when they come, watch out. If you are looking for someone to take care of you and your bankroll with winning sports picks, then give Doug Upstone serious consideration.
Doug Upstone
Our Top Play Winner are 48-17, 73.8% since last August and we have the best NHL Win Percentage at 68.3%! New Super Price on College Hoops for the rest of year, less than $4.00 a day!
Doug Upstone of 3Daily Winners has been involved in sports handicapping in some form or another his entire adult life. Nobody watches and studies games more than he does. Whether it is live or viewing tapes, he has game notes and observations dating back almost two decades. (Yes, somehow he's still married to his original wife) Doug has partnered with two sharp handicappers at 3Daily Winners, the Wiesguy and BB Documented Plays. The Wiesguy has his MoneyDog blog and has been doling out winning tips for years. His preference is underdog plays but is sharp in all facets and finished No.3 in the latest Wise Guys contest. BB Documented Plays just wins, with four Top 2 finishes in the past year at the Sports Watch Monitor, including #1 in March Madness.
