Northern Brewer is a pretty good one... they are an online store, so they are making an effort to sell supplies, but they are pretty active and post informative information. | ||||
I follow Stan Hieronymus author of Brew Like a Monk and blogger at Appellation Beer. | ||||
Charlie Papazian: @CharliePapazian Ray Daniels: @Cicerone_org American Homebrewers Association: @HomebrewAssoc Me: @markskar There are tons of others, but these are the first to come to mind. Just about every good commercial brewery is on Twitter, and there are thousands of homebrewers on Twitter that are dedicated to tweeting exclusively about homebrewing and beer. | ||||

When T-Mobile launched the very first Android-powered handset – the G1 – back in 2008, the app library to go along with it looked like a minimart beside Apple's Walmart. But the past few years have been kind to Google. The steady release of high-profile, high-power Android handsets have turned that initial drizzle of apps into a torrent. Though it used to be called the Android Market, the Google Play store offers applications for just about everything. With that in mind, we've rounded up what we think are the best Android apps in several different categories. We'll continue to update this list periodically.
Make sure to check out Best Android games and our picks for The Best Android phones.
Multiple members of the Digital Trends staff contributed to this compilation.
Video, Music & Books
WhatsApp Messenger (Free)
With more than 200 million users, it should come as no surprise that WhatsApp has attracted the attentions of Facebook and Google in recent months, but it has remained independent. It's a simple, intuitive, cross-platform alternative to sending SMS text messages. You can chat, send photos, audio, or video files, and it's completely free (it costs $1 per year after the first year). It uses Wi-Fi or your network data connection to send messages, and it's packed with great features for chat addicts.
imo messenger (Free)
Trying to persuade your friends and family to agree on one instant messaging service can prove impossible. Thankfully, Imo is here to soothe your pain. It supports everything from Facebook Chat to Yahoo Messenger to Skype and you can link up multiple accounts. You can make voice calls, share multimedia files, and join in group messaging sessions. It's a multiplatform solution with fully searchable chat history. A streamlined user interface makes it very accessible and easy to use.
Tapatalk Forum App ($3)
Trying to browse and post on forums from your smartphone can be a real pain. Tapatalk is designed to make it smooth and easy to access forums. It's faster than using a standard mobile web browser, easy to access your favorites, and you can keep up to date with threads via a simple interface. All forums are organized by category, you can search, and the majority of forum features are available. It is currently supported by thousands of popular forums, so there's a good chance your regular haunts are on the list, but it's always worth checking before you buy.
GasBuddy (Free)
Apps that can save you money are always welcome and GasBuddy is the best app for finding cheap gas. Wherever you happen to be in the U.S. or Canada, you can fire up this app and it will provide you with a list of the gas stations in your vicinity in list or map view. All you have to do is choose the cheapest one. The app relies on an active community of users who earn points by reporting the latest prices. You can use points to win prizes like free gas.
Dolphin Browser (Free)
When it comes to speed, Dolphin is comparable to Chrome. The popular Dolphin Browser has just been updated and it offers Sonar, Gesture, and Add-on support. Sonar enables you to search, share, bookmark, and navigate with voice commands. You can create gestures to access specific websites and there are 60 add-ons to choose from. It's a solid browser with a lot to offer.
Best Apps Market (Free)
Need a fast and reliable app discovery tool? Best Apps Market is free and it features hand-picked lists and tools to organize your downloads. You'll find independent reviews, money saving options, and easy to use filters. The Game Genome Project is set to roll into the app soon and it offers you a way to search for apps using a wide variety of filters so you can find your perfect game.
Widgetsoid (Free)
Widgetsoid allows you to create your own widgets for various phone functions. You can create a widget that will allow you to toggle your 4G antenna on and off, or create your own clock widget that can display whatever phone information you want, from battery charge to phone temperature. It's pretty useful. There is a free and a paid version, which has some added functionality.
iTriage Mobile Health (Free)
Created by doctors, this app is designed to give users quick and easy access to medical info as well as nearby treatment facilities. With just a few clicks, users can find the nearest medical facility based on need (emergency, urgent care, pharmacy, etc.) and quickly use built-in Google Maps to navigate to the destination. The app also features a symptom-checker, doctor directory, and information about diseases and procedures.
Chrome Beta (Free)
The default Android Web browser is fine, but if you're on an Android 4.0 phone (or tablet), you can now download a fully operational version of Google Chrome. Simply put, it's the best mobile browser we've used, with robust tab management, private browsing, and the ability to sync your tabs from your browser with your phone.
Pulse News (Free)
This free app is a great reader for those who like to get their daily dose of news or gossip on their Android device. Pulse lets users select up to 30 online sources to pull from, and then creates clean, magazine-like pages that feature thumbnail photos and headlines from each source. Most articles or blogs can be easily read within the app, and the sources update in a flash. It's the perfect substitute for your morning or evening Internet scan. Add sources like CNN, Gawker, Salon, Wet Paint, MSNBC, and Mashable.
It's pretty universally accepted that mobile devices, while great tools for plenty of tasks, are not built for extended typing sessions. SwiftKey 3 Keyboard challenges this belief and gives the classic keyboard a run for its money. Rather than just focus on spelling or or the word that you're currently typing, SwiftKey 3 Keyboard looks at the context of your full message and puts together the most logical predictions and corrections. Miss a space, spell a word wrong, or type the wrong usage and this app will fix it for you on the fly.

A business cloud storage provider has unveiled the IT industry's biggest offer of free cloud backups to date: 100 GB to business users for as long as they need it.
Under the offer, which San Francisco-based EVault unveiled Friday via a blog post, businesses new to EVault that sign up with the company before Dec. 31 will receive 100 GB of free cloud backup that can be used to protect the files and folders for a single Windows-based server.
Those customers can retain up to three daily backups using the free service.
[Related: Free Cloud Storage: Customers Get What They Pay For]
The offer is a good chance for customers to try the service and for EVault channel partners to find new opportunities, said Karen Jaworski, senior director of product marketing for the company.
Except for a few legacy direct customers, EVault does all its business through channel partners, Jaworski said.
"With the free cloud backup service, we wanted to make it easy for our partners to demonstrate how easy backup to the cloud is," she said. "There's been a tipping point to the cloud as seen by the pricing wars between Amazon and Google this week. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when."
Customers can sign up for the free cloud backup service directly with EVault, Jaworski said.
"We give them the full service experience," she said. "When they sign up, one of our fulfillment engineers will call them up and get them started. We're aware of our partner relationships, so as customers' needs grow and they want to sign up for more services, we bring in the partner. This is a very easy way for people to get acquainted with the service."
The EVault offer of free backup is unique in an industry where offers of free cloud storage or free cloud backups are quite common.
Most cloud storage providers offer between 2 GB and 10 GB of capacity free. Both Amazon and Google, as well as a host of other cloud storage providers, offer 5 GB free. The offers are primarily targeted at consumer customers.

Dietrich-Smith frustrated by new injury to ankle
Green Bay Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith had another injury setback at practice on Wednesday when he twisted an ankle after stepping on someones foot during team drills.
- Dec. 4, 2013

In Mike Smith's opinion, Dom Capers will go down as one of the greatest defensive minds the NFL has seen.
Green Bay Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith had another injury setback at practice on Wednesday when he twisted an ankle after stepping on someones foot during team drills.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he should know by Friday or Saturday at the latest whether he can play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and it all depends on whether he will be cleared medically.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did everything during practice Wednesday that the team's doctors have cleared him to do. Even so, Rodgers was limited in practice, coach Mike McCarthy said.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers displayed some zip on the ball as he threw short to intermediate passes during individual drills at practice on Wednesday.
Aaron Rodgers hasn't given up on the notion of playing again this season, but it could be a week or more until the Green Bay Packers quarterback is able to return.
Going into this season, Jerron McMillian appeared to have a decent shot at winning a starting job at safety for the Green Bay Packers.
Last offseason, coach Mike McCarthy put injury reduction atop his list of priorities for 2013.
Aaron Rodgers hasnt given up on playing again this season, but it could be at least another week until the Green Bay Packers quarterback is able to do so.
Following are the highlights of coach Mike McCarthy's press conference this afternoon:
The Packers announced theyve cut safety Jerron McMillian to make room on their roster for running back Kahlil Bell.
The Green Bay Packers should get a good indication on Monday whether Aaron Rodgers will be back to save their season.
The Atlanta Falcons might be in for jolt when they travel to Green Bay to face the Packers on Sunday.
While Brett Favre isn't sure what he'll be doing next year, he does know what he'll be doing on Friday: Trying to win a Mississippi high school state championship.
The Green Bay Packers (5-6-1) had a weekend off after playing on Thanksgiving Day and this week play the only NFC team that's been eliminated from the playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons (3-9).
Former Chicago Bears running back Kahlil Bell tweeted today that hes the newest member of the Packers.

They'll join co-hosts Brett Christopherson and Ricardo Arguello for a fun and interactive discussion where you get to ask the questions in our real-time chat and play trivia games for prizes.
The status of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains as murky as its ever been following a myriad of media reports on Sunday.
The Green Bay Packers' offensive line turned in its worst performance of the season in a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday, and hope for better days could depend on the health of center Evan Dietrich-Smith.
The free-falling Green Bay Packers would like nothing more than to see Aaron Rodgers return against the Atlanta Falcons on Dec. 8. But is it realistic?
The Green Bay Packers recurring issues on defense and special teams carried over to another week and subsequently another disheartening defeat in Thursdays 40-10 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said at his press conference Friday morning that he doesnt know yet whether Aaron Rodgers can play next week against the Atlanta Falcons. He does know one thing, however. Thursday's 40-10 loss to the Lions was one of the toughest losses he's ever been part of.
The Detroit Lions on Thursday underscored the point that's become indisputable over the last five weeks: The Green Bay Packers aren't even an ordinary team without Aaron Rodgers.
In the aftermath of the Green Bay Packers' futile defensive performance Thursday, players and coaches talked about missed tackles, blown assignments and failed execution of the game plan.
This time, Eddie Lacy and the running game weren't able to bail the Green Bay Packers' offense out.
The Packers fell to 5-6-1, the first time they've been under .500 during the second half of a season since 2008. Their only reasonable hope of earning a postseason berth is to capture the NFC North title.
Rant: The Packers let former teammate Jeremy Ross show them up. The second-year wide receiver and return specialist was cut by Green Bay on Sept. 23 after he had trouble hanging onto the ball. But on Thursday, he got his revenge in several ways: a 5-yard touchdown reception, a 24-yard run on an end-around on third-and-1, four punt returns for a 11.5-yard average and three kick returns for a 23.3-yard average.
Photographer Evan Siegle shares his favorite images from Thursday's Packers-Lions Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit.
Wes Hodkiewicz took readers' questions and comments about Thursday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
The Green Bay Packers got some reinforcements back for Thursdays game at Detroit with starters Don Barclay at right tackle, Sam Shields at cornerback, Nick Perry at outside linebacker and Johnny Jolly at defensive end all active against the Lions.

Since 1999, Harris Interactive has published surveys of the reputations of the 60 most visible companies, based on six dimensions. Though the top 10 companies are all in either very good or excellent standing (see here), the bottom 10 companies are in poor, very poor or critical standing.
The majority of these 10 companies are in financial services or banking, of which 75% and 70% of Americans see as hurting the economy, respectively. In fact, 17% of those surveyed had a positive view of the financial services industry, while 62% had a negative view. For banking, 16% perceived it positively and 67% negatively. Financial services witnessed four of the five worst losses in reputation this year.
Three companies rank in critical standing, compared to 2011's two. Take a look and see which companies have the worst reputations.
#10 ExxonMobil (XOM)
2012 Rank/Score: 51 / 60.01
2011 Rank/Score: 53 / 61.09
ExxonMobil climbed up to No. 52 this year, although its score dropped by a point. Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999 to form the world's largest publicly traded petroleum and petrochemical enterprise.
#9 Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC)
2012 Rank/Score: 52 / 59.50
2011 Rank/Score: 45 / 66.15
Dropping down seven slots to become one of the 10 least favorite companies, Wells Fargo & Co. scored almost seven points worse than last year. Henry Wells and William Fargo initially started the company in California to provide banking and express services in the West. More recently, the corporation has acquired many other financial services groups and banks, including Wachovia.
#8 Comcast (CMCSA)
2012 Rank/Score: 53 / 59.1
2011 Rank/Score: 50 / 62.05
No longer the company with the worst reputation on the list, Comcast still scored three points less this year than last year. It provides video, high-speed Internet and phone services. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, Comcast has one of the worst customer satisfaction levels in the country.
#7 News Corp* (NWS)
2012 Rank/Score: 54 / 57.14
2011 Rank/Score: *New to study and/or not measured in 2011 RQ
With allegations of a phone-hacking scandal in mid-2011, News Corp is a newcomer to this poll. The media conglomerate, started by Rupert Murdoch in Australia, moved to the United States, acquiring newspapers, a movie studio and a television network. Although it closed down its News of the World, News Corp still owns 20th Century Fox and its properties and many papers.
#6 Citigroup (C)
2012 Rank/Score: 55 / 55.95
2011 Rank/Score: 57 / 57.45
Although it improved its ranking, Citigroup still scored lower than it did last year. Celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, the financial services company ranked eighth in the Fortune 500 lists in 2006, 2007 and 2008, but fell to 12 in 2009 after the financial crisis.
#5 JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
2012 Rank/Score: 56 / 54.84
2011 Rank/Score: 52 / 61.15
Sliding down into one of the five least favorite companies, JPMorgan Chase scores almost six points lower than it did last year. This global financial services firm has assets of $2.3 trillion operating in more than 60 countries. Despite its Chase Community Giving program and supporting various elementary and high schools, JPMorgan Chase has hovered in the last rankings of the list since 2009.
2012 Rank/Score: 57 / 53.50
2011 Rank/Score: 59 / 49.82
After the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that caused the largest offshore spill in U.S. history, BP appeared on the 2011 RQ report at No. 59. It actually is the company with the third best improvements from last year's scores, especially within the social responsibility category. Though it has inched up a bit in the rankings, the upcoming trial over the Deepwater Horizon incident may affect its reputation for next year.
#3 Bank of America (BAC)
2012 Rank/Score: 58 / 49.85
2011 Rank/Score: 55 / 58.93
Dropping just over nine points in its index, Bank of America had the most significant decline of all the companies since 2011. It has slid into critical standing, making it the worst-reputable commercial bank on this list.
#2 Goldman Sachs (GS)
2012 Rank/Score: 59 / 47.57
2011 Rank/Score: 58 / 53.90
Slipping into the critical level, Goldman Sachs has faced much controversy over the past few years, including a lawsuit from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other companies that have scored under 50 in the past include Enron, Adelphia and WorldCom — none of which are still around.
2012 Rank/Score: 60 / 46.18
2011 Rank/Score: 60 / 47.77
Although scoring much better than it did in 2009 with an index of 39.23, AIG still stays at the bottom of the list. The financial services and insurance corporation has lingered as the bottom two companies on RQ Report after the government bailed it out in 2008.

I work as a physician in real life and often I need to translate medical jargon into layman's terms for my patients. This is what I need now.
I have FCP 7, but it seems I'll need to upgrade to another editing software before my Scarlet arrives, and have to decide between FCPX, Adobe and Avid.
1. What is your step by step work flow from offloading the images from the scarlet to a final product (in color and w sound) using FCPX? I do not have red rocket.
2. What Editing software workflow is the least complicated with RED files?
My apologies for these simple, yet broad questions. I have been reading the forum for awhile and am having a hard time putting a workflow together (and Scarlet arrives within a week)
Thank you!

Who is in? Handicapping this fight will be hard...Libi shows real tenacity, can be quick witted and possesses a sharp tongue, (This line of hers had me wincing: " you most certainly are not the brains behind anything... but you are a perfect goat ..." OUCH) and she has obvious higher education and keeps coming back into the ring- sometimes with no one else participating. (Think Mike Meyers) But Washy? Washy is old school tuff, and can get super scrappy and quick when under the wire...In my head I see one of the super fierce Bantam Weight fighters, a few years of real street fighting made more professional by some hard core training in the rink...I think Washy has won a few in her day, and I don't think she has a problem hitting below the belt. It's a pretty evenly matched fight. The bets could help rebuild a church or help pay the medical bills for someone who has been laid low....any takers?"
I don't think she liked this idea because the whole thread got deleted and then Libi's post went up again, minus EVERYONES comments...So what we did worked. Laughter made the bitchy feuding die off/get deleted...Pointless hate and vile spewing of threats = zero, humor and peace = one.

Quick Find
Part # : DFL-210-IPS-12
Availability: Backorder (details)
Price: $137.99
In terms of signature coverage, the IPS database includes attack information and data from a global attack sensor-grid and exploits collected information from public sites such as the National Vulnerability Database and Bugtrax.
D-Link is committed to deliver high quality IPS signatures by constantly creating and optimizing NetDefend signatures via the D-Link Auto-Signature Sensor System. Without overloading existing security appliances, D-Link IPS signatures ensure a high ratio of detection accuracy and the lowest ratio of false positives.
Features and Benefits Zero Day Attack Protection IPS captures variations of attacks and stealthy malicious traffic to prevent outbreaks of these threats without creating unnecessary new signatures while still protecting against Zero-Day attacks. Complete IPS Signature Advisory Complete IPS logs with vulnerability ID numbers, severity levels, attack descriptions, and recovery solutions enable MIS personnel to know about and respond quickly to network attacks. Focus on Attack Payload, not Attackers or IP Addresses The IPS scan engine is an in-depth inspection of data from Layer 2 to Layer 7 protecting against both false positives and false negatives and preventing various types of network-based threats with a high degree of accuracy. Continuous Automatic Signature Updates All IPS signatures are continuously updated automatically and made available through D-Link update servers worldwide. The service keeps your IPS signature database as current as possible at the outside of new threats. Comprehensive IPS Signature Database Protect the system against network attacks using over 1,800 signatures as well as protocol anomaly inspection.
My D-Link My D-Link provides a registration and management platform for all D-Link customers. D-Link customers need to register their firewall to receive IPS update services from the NetDefend Center's My D-Link. The current status of all registered products will be presented, including Model Names, MAC addresses, Serial Numbers, Registration dates, and IPS Service Expiration dates. Customers can easily maintain all firewalls registered under My D-Link.
NetDefend Live The NetDefend Center also provides customers with NetDefend Live. NetDefend Live is a platform for providing information about potential security breaches and associated advisories. When D-Link Security Center discovers new exploits and releases new signatures, associated security advisories will be simultaneously updated. This update is provided on a 7x24x365 basis. The main purpose of NetDefend Live is to help customers know more about new signatures and vulnerabilities. MIS departments can use NetDefend Live as reference to uproot threats and patch vulnerabilities within the enterprise before they are exploited. With NetDefend firewalls as the first line of defense and NetDefend Live as the second, D-Link helps customers to counteract emerging network threats promptly, before they have an impact on business.

You Will Get Through This Victoriously
By Dianna Hobbs
I could hear his screams above everyone else's.
It was our 7-year-old Kaleb's first time on a ride at an amusement park that thrust him high in the air while whirling around and around.
Though I had some misgivings about letting him go on the ride that piqued his interest, I didn't want to deprive him of his chance to experience the "Haymaker" at Darien Lake in Western NY.
Who knows? He might like it, I thought to myself.
Ha! Not so much.
Despite the fact that I'd warned our eager son, saying, "Kaleb, once the ride begins you can't get off it, even if you don't like it," he insisted.
I added, "If you scream and holler, still, the operator won't stop it. So, are you sure you want to get on that?"
He was certain of his decision.
You should have seen how excited he was, at first. But when the Haymaker got started, oh boy, it wasn't pretty.
There I was, gazing up, seeing the look of terror on his face, listening to his piercing pleas to "Let me off!" and feeling so sorry for him. After all, as one seriously lacking the "adventure gene," I'm not too big on thrill-seeking either, so I could sympathize with the little guy.
I remember the first time I got on a rollercoaster after being pressured into it by classmates on a school fieldtrip. Once I heard "Enjoy your ride" and began advancing forward, fear gripped my heart.
By the time I had been jerked back and forth, whipped around the track, hiked up into the air slowly, and then dropped for what seemed like an eternity, I thought I was about to meet Jesus early.
I cried and yelled with all I had for someone, anyone, to be merciful enough to get me off that death trap. But, no one came to my rescue. Panicked and all, I survived.
So did Kaleb.
So will you.
You see, life can feel a lot like a terrifying ride at an amusement park. Initially, in your naïveté, you feel prepared and perfectly excited about what's to come. You strap in and get set to enjoy the ride.
Only thing is, after things get underway, the road turns out to be a lot bumpier than you thought. The highs are higher and the lows are a whole lot lower than you expected.
Before you can get your wits about you, you're rocked back and forth, begging for it all to stop. But everything doesn't come to a halt just because you don't like the way it feels.
You just have to endure it.
Just when you think you can't take it anymore, you look up and realize you survived, despite the unpleasant process. You emerge from it all somewhat shaken up, but still standing.
Can you relate?
If so, this word is for you. It has come to remind you that you may be dealing with some struggles, difficulties, setbacks, and rocky places. Yet, my friend, you will make it through. The process might be a lot harder than you anticipated, but you won't be defeated by it, because the Lord is with you.
To remind you of this truth, today, I'm stirring 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV into your cup of inspiration. It says, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."
When you drink down the contents of your cup, you will recognize that no matter how great the difficulty, the Greater One lives inside you. Through Him you can handle it; survive it; thrive in the middle of it; and come out of it better, stronger, and even more confident in the Lord of your salvation.
No matter what it feels like, you will get through this victoriously.

Hate is a strong word, so let's just say, when I was in college, I strongly disliked going to the financial aid office in the beginning of the semester. This was always a time when lines would be wrapped around the building and hours were spent waiting.
After we had our first baby in 1999, I vowed that our little girl, Kyla, would be our last. Labor and delivery was grueling and lasted much longer than I had hoped. By the time my doctor said, "Congratulations Mrs. Hobbs. It's a girl!" I literally could not see.

Given your knowledge of conventional studio portraiture, can you see any similarities between studio and street practice? 6.1 The rise of the itinerant photographer Happily, not all early family photographs were taken inside conventional studios. Sitters were frequently photographed in the open air or in temporary, makeshift studios. Portraits were taken in the street, at the fairground, at the seaside, at local beauty spots and in the parks and commons where town dwellers went for relaxation and entertainment on Sundays and holidays. Itinerant photographers who worked these venues would set up shop for the day, the week or longer, depending on situation 5.5.2 Skirts and breeching Look carefully at Images 46, 47 and 48. 4.9.2 Idealisation Early photographers were adept at using natural lighting to idealise the sitter. Manuals of good practice were full of advice on adapting the lighting to soften wrinkles and wreathe blemishes in shadow. For ladies of a certain age, who often give the photographer a deal of trouble, it is advisable to employ a very soft light falling in front, which softens the wrinkles and protuberances of the face, and obliterates 3.2 Idealisation There were fundamental principles of painted portraiture that affected every element of the portrait, from expression and pose to background and lighting.
