The problem with Big Data is that, well, Big Data are big. Really big. We're talking terabytes. Petabytes. Zettabytes. Whatever's-even-bigger-bytes. And of course, we want to solve all our Big Data challenges in the Cloud. If only we could get those gigando-bytes into the Cloud in the first place. And there's the rub.
Uploading Big Data from our internal network to the Cloud via an Internet connection is as practical as filling a swimming pool through a drinking straw. It doesn't matter how sophisticated our Big Data analytics, how super-duper our Hadoopers. If we can't efficiently get our data where we need them when we need them, we're stuck.
Optimize the Pipe
Fortunately, the Big Data upload problem isn't new. In fact, it's been around for years, under the moniker Wide Area Network (WAN) Optimization. Fortunate for us because vendors have been working on WAN Optimization techniques for a while now, and now several of them are repurposing those techniques to help with the Cloud.
For example, Aryaka has been peddling WAN Optimization appliances for several years. Put one appliance in your local data center, a second in the remote data center, and proprietary technology moves data from one to the other at a rapid clip. Now that the Cloud has turned their world upside down, they are providing a distributed service at the remote end, a "mesh of network connections" better suited to the Cloud. In other words, Aryaka is building an offering similar to Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) like Akamai.
RainStor, in contrast, focuses primarily on a proprietary compression algorithm that promises to squeeze data into one fortieth their original size. Furthermore, RainStor's compressed data remain directly accessible using standard SQL or even MapReduce on Hadoop with no storage-eating, time-consuming reinflation.
Then there's Aspera, who's found a sophisticated way around the limitations of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) itself. After all, TCP's tiny packets and penchant for resending them are a large part of the reason uploading Big Data over the Internet runs like such a dog in the first place. To teach this dog a new trick or two, Aspera transfers use one TCP port for session initialization and control, and one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for data transfer.
UDP is an older, fire-and-forget protocol that doesn't perform the retries that provide TCP's reliability, but by combining the two protocols, FASP achieves nearly 100% error-free data throughput. In fact, FASP reaches the maximum transfer speed possible given the hardware on which you deploy it, and maintains maximum available throughput independent of network delay and packet loss. FASP also aggregates hundreds of concurrent transfers on commodity hardware, addressing the drinking straw problem in part by supporting hundreds of straws at once.
CloudOpt is also a player worth mentioning. Their JetStream technology takes a soup-to-nuts approach that combines compression and transmission protocol optimization with advanced data deduplication, SSL acceleration, and an ingenious approach to getting the most performance out of cached data. Or Attunity Cloudbeam, that touts file to Cloud upload, file to Cloud replication, and Cloud to Cloud replication. Attunity's Managed File Transfer (MFT) incorporates a secure DMZ architecture, security policy enforcement, guaranteed and accelerated transfers, process automation, and audit capabilities across each stage of the file transfer process.
Finally, there's Amazon Web Services (AWS) itself. Yes, most if not all of the vendors discussed above can firehose data into AWS's various storage services. But AWS also offers a simple, if decidedly low-tech approach as well: AWS Import/Export. Simply ship your big hard drives to Amazon. They'll hook them up, copy the data to your Simple Storage Service (S3) or other storage service, and ship the drive back when you're done. This SneakerNet or "Forklifting" approach, believe it or not, can even be faster than some of the over-the-Internet optimizations for certain Big Data sets, even considering the time it takes to FedEx AWS your drives.
On Beyond Drinking Straws
The problem with most of the approaches above (excepting only Aspera and Amazon's forklift) is that they make the drinking straw we're using to fill that swimming pool better, faster, and bigger – but we're still filling that damn pool with a straw. So what's better than a straw? How about many straws? If any optimization technique improves a single connection to the Internet, then it stands to reason that establishing many connections to your Cloud provider in parallel would multiply your upload speed dramatically.
Fair enough, but let's think out of the box here. A fundamental Big Data best practice is to bring your analytics to your data. The reasoning is that it's hard to move your data but easy to move your software, so once your data are in the Cloud, you should also run your analytics there.
But this argument also works in reverse. If your data aren't in the Cloud, then it may not make sense to move them to the Cloud simply to run your software there. Instead, bring your software to your data, even if they're on premise.
Perish the thought, you say! We're sold on Big Data in the Cloud. We've crunched the numbers and we know it's going to save us money, provide more capabilities, and facilitate sharing information across our organization and the world. Fair enough. Here's another twist for you.
Why are your Big Data sets outside the Cloud to begin with? Sure, you're stuck with existing, legacy data sets wherever they happen to be today. But as a rule, those don't constitute Big Data, or will cease to qualify as being large enough to warrant the Big Data label relatively soon. By definition, Big Data sets keep expanding exponentially, which means that you keep creating them with generations of newfangled tools.
In fact, there are already multitudinous sources for raw Big Data, as varied as the Big Data challenges organizations struggle with today. But many such sources are already in the Cloud, or could be moved to the Cloud simply. For example, clickthrough data from your Web sites. Such data come from your Web servers, which should be in the Cloud anyway. If your Big Data come from Web Servers scattered here and there in the Cloud, then moving the clickthrough data to a Big Data repository for processing can be handled in the same Cloud. No need for uploading.
What about data sources that aren't already in the Cloud? Many Big Data streams come from instrumentation or sensors of some sort, from seismographs underground to EKGs in hospitals to UPC scanners in supermarkets. There's no reason why such instrumentation shouldn't pour their raw data feeds directly to the Cloud. What good is storing a week's worth of supermarket purchasing data on premise anyway? You'll want to store, process, manage, and analyze those data in the Cloud, so the sooner you get it there, the better.
The ZapThink Take
The only reason we have to worry about uploading Big Data to the Cloud in the first place is because our Big Data aren't already in the Cloud. And broadly speaking, the reason they're not already in the Cloud is because the Cloud isn't everywhere. Instead, we think of the Cloud as being locked away in data centers, those alien, air conditioned facilities packed full of racks of high tech equipment.
That may be true today, but as ZapThink has discussed before, there's nothing in the definition of Cloud Computing that requires Cloud resources to live in data centers. You might have a bit of the Cloud in your pocket, or on your laptop, in your car, or in your refrigerator. For now, this vision of the Internet of Things meeting the Cloud is mostly the stuff of science fiction. We're only now figuring out what it means to have a ubiquitous global network of sensors, from the aforementioned EKGs and UPC scanners to traffic cameras to home thermostats. But the writing is on the wall. Just as we now don't think twice about carrying supercomputers in our pockets, it's only a matter of time until the Cloud itself is fully distributed and ubiquitous. When that happens, the question of moving Big Data to the Cloud will be moot. They will already be there.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Freeport Fleetwood is launching the campaign to find the forgotten recipes, dishes and foods that make up the identity of the Lancashire region. Talk to your elderly relatives, scour bookshelves for family cookery books and to think back to the dishes your mums used to make.
We're trying to encourage people to reconnect with the food of their forefathers, to protect the region's heritage and to help people to better understand where their food comes from.
To enter a recipe go to the Freeport Fleetwood Facebook page or email them to email@example.com.
The deadline for entry is 1 December 2014. The top 30 recipes will be chosen by North West food experts and be used to create a free online resource that will be circulated throughout the region.
Freeport Fleetwood will be holding a cookery demonstration and recipe tasting of the top five dishes at the centre on Thursday 4 December from 4-8pm. Come along on the evening, taste the dishes for free and chat to our chef about your food experiences. There will also be mulled wine to keep the winter chills at bay. More details above.
Skopes, the new gentleman's outfitters, arrives at Freeport Fleetwood, with great clothes at great prices!
A luxury menswear retailer aimed at stylish shoppers, looking for heritage-inspired outfits, opened at Freeport Fleetwood on Friday 10th October.
Skopes, the family-run Leeds-based store group, established in 1948 by Sydney Cope, is launching at 10am and is offering shoppers an exclusive 50 percent off the RRP on all products for one week only.
Male Makeover Competition
The brand is running a competition offering three male customers a chance to win a new wardrobe worth £500 in total. Customers can enter by purchasing garments and nominating a friend/relative for a male makeover at the till. Running from 19th - 29th October, the winners will be announced on Saturday 6th December - perfect timing ahead of the Christmas party season.
John Magee, Centre Manager at Freeport Fleetwood, said: "The new Skopes store will tap into the country aristo trend by offering a range of blazers, suits and over coats in checks, tweeds, pinstripes and herringbone. The brand has stood the test of time by designing a new clothing collection every season. This new launch adds to our extensive range of luxury mens retailers including Moss and Jeff Banks."
Simon Cope, the owner of Skopes, is continuing his grandfather's vision to create a quality outfitter at affordable prices and has big plans for growth. The brand already employs over 200 staff and is keen to expand in 2014/2015. Total turnover is approaching £20million and the company plans to add to its robust portfolio of over 60 retail outlets, opening at least two new stores every year.
Freeport Fleetwood held their first official Best of British Day on 13th September to celebrate all things British and it certainly encouraged shoppers to flock to the centre, which recorded a 40% increase in footfall across all 45 stores on the following day and a 17% increase in sales.
The British-inspired family day saw the crowds flocking to enjoy patriotic entertainment, food and drinks and John Magee, Centre Manager at Freeport Fleetwood, said: "Our first official Best of British Day brought in new shoppers from as far as Glasgow. The success of the day impacted on the following week's trading and saw footfall and sales steadily increase throughout the week. The event seemed to remind shoppers of the fabulous range of stores we have here at the centre, especially with all our wonderful autumnal offers, with as much as 60 percent off last the latest looks."
Lancashire-based X-Factor 2011 finalist Jonjo Kerr, kicked off Best of British celebrations and the crowds enjoyed Made in Liverpool, the official Cavern Club band plus performances by the Scream Theatre School. Hosted by Jordan North and ex Big Brother 9 contestant Luke Marsden, from 97.4 Rock FM, who presented live from the Centre throughout the day.
The Centre was decorated with Union Jack ribbons, bunting, balloons, the iconic BBC test card and giant Fleetwood seagulls and store windows were dressed following the Britannia-theme. Plus celebrations came alive with a host of British icons including a Prince Harry look-a-like, a London Hackney Carriage photo booth, beefeaters guarding the entrance, a Pimm's cart and of course strawberries and cream.
Watch out for other events at the shopping outlet - Freeport Fleetwood offers a wide choice of fashion, homewares, fragrances, accessories and gift ideas from designer and high street stores including Moss, M&S Outlet, Jeff Banks and GAP Outlet. There are plenty of places to refuel too – whether it's a light bite at Costa Coffee or a laid-back lunch in the Bay Tea Rooms. Late night shopping is also available every Thursday until 8pm.
On the last Bank Holiday Monday at the beginning of May, McDonald's at Freeport Fleetwood set a new northern region drive-thru record - with your help!
The Harbour Village eatery went to head-to-head with McDonald's branches across the country in an attempt to set a new National Drive Thru Record. The restaurant was aiming to serve more vehicles in one hour than any other in the country, during a double record attempt from 12pm on Monday 5 May, and to help their cause they were giving away free McChicken sandwiches to people who took part.
Adam Curnow, Business Manager at McDonald's, said: "The restaurant normally serves 130 cars per hour at weekends so we're going to have our work cut out during the record challenge.
"The team didn't manage to break the existing national record of 232, but they set a new record for the Northern region of 206 served in an hour. They served 183 in their second hour/attempt. The previous record stood at 148 so we're really pleased with our success!"
The outlet centre offers a wide choice of fashion, homewares, fragrances, accessories and gift ideas from designer and high street stores including Moss, M&S Outlet, Jeff Banks and GAP Outlet. There is a wealth of locations in which to refuel too – whether it's a light bite at Costa Coffee or a laid-back lunch in the Bay Tea Rooms.
A new store opened on Saturday 26 April at Freeport Fleetwood, as "feel good food" specialist, Grape Tree joined the wide range of brands at the outlet centre on Anchorage Road, Fleetwood.
In addition to the generous discounts of up to 60% off, available on the wide selection of quality dried fruits, seeds and home baking products in the new store, there is also a range of old-fashioned sweets and confectionary.
Grape Tree has been launched by the team that created the hugely successful brand Julian Graves. The new national chain was founded just 18 months ago and the company is on course to open its fiftieth outlet by the end of 2014.
The latest Fleetwood store has created four new jobs for the area.
The man behind the project, entrepreneur Nick Shutts, launched the Julian Graves chain and built it into a brand with 350 shops across the UK.
Nick said: "It's great to be back. Many of our old team have come together again and it is exhilarating to be back in business.
"Given our experience in the past and the reaction we are getting to the new stores we are convinced that we are meeting a real gap in the market."
Grape Tree's range includes 79 different dried fruit products, 84 different way of buying nuts, 40 different mixes and 17 seed products. It also sells a wide selection of home baking products including saffron, vanilla pods, herbs and spices.
Centre manager, John Magee, said: "We are delighted to be welcoming the Grape Tree brand and team to Freeport Fleetwood. The distinctive brand and Grape Tree products will further strengthen our brand offering in the centre. With 700 free car parking spaces and more than 50 stores, Freeport Fleetwood is already popular with families looking to enjoy leisure activities or find their favourite brands at up to 60 per cent less than the usual RRP."

Don't Take This Girl to Minetta Tavern or Peter Luger
WOW, This chick can eat...144 ounces of beef in less than 15 minutes...the first 72 ounces in under 5 minutes.!!!!!
Positively revolting.
"She apparently wasn't full so she ate a second one..."
What, does she have a tapeworm? I can rarely eat more than 8 ounces of steak with other things on the plate, at a leisurely pace.
But seriously, that's not eating, as I doubt much chewing was involved. I know they have strategies to do this, but I often wonder what changes are taking place in a body doing this in the short-term. (Think "meat sweats".) I'd love to see a medical article on the effect of what I can only describe as voluntary force-feeding.
Not only the steak but also the side dishes -- bread rolls, baked potatoes, etc!! And she takes the time to season with salt!
Previously she has done a single 72-oz steak in less than 3 minutes - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01...
Competitive eaters are usually skinny (like this woman) because fat doesn't stretch -- so you don't want to have a fat layer on your belly.
I would love to see a "Candid Camera" video of this women going to a steak house on a first date with some unsuspecting guy. Haha.
She also won Wingbowl so don't take her to Hooters either
Here's a video of her eating a 72 oz steak in less than 3 minutes.
re: Kat
Seems to me, and I don't know anything.......
Wouldn't you have to rid yourself of the food before it starts to absorb in order not to appear on My 600 Pound Life?
At what point is that? Vomit ? Diarrhea ?
My thought is that one cannot consume that much physical substance and that many calories so it must be shredded somehow .
re: C. Hamster
One competitive eater counseling others on preparation and "recovery"...
And this article on WebMD has quotes from Joey Chestnut: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/fea...

If Ken Clarke can be on the front bench, so can MPs who want to leave the EU
Ken Clarke is a big man, in every sense of the word. As his country becomes meaner and more indebted by the hour, it is to his credit that he has placed his considerable weight at its service. Ken's analysis of the economic crisis has, as I've remarked before, been spot-on. And he is giving up a lucrative extra-parliamentary life in order to do his bit.
Ken won't change his own views on Europe; but he won't expect his party to either. It was his high-minded refusal to take this line that cost him the leadership on three occasions. The Conservatives remain committed to staying out of the euro forever, to holding a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and to pulling out of the EPP. Ken says he accepts all this.
In a two party system, both parties are necessarily coalitions, and there is nothing wrong with front-benchers politely disagreeing one with another. Indeed, standing on the letter of collective responsibility is one of the most disagreeable aspects of contemporary politics. It is ridiculous to expect an MP to reverse a view that he has been advancing for years simply because a new party leader is elected. The sight of politicians wrestling with the demands of collective responsibility, the casuistry they are forced to employ in order to square their real views with the Cabinet line, is one of the things that voters find repellent. People are mature enough to accept a front-bencher saying: "Look, you all know that I think so-and-so but, frankly, I lost that argument, and if my party wins, we'll do such-and-such".
One thing, though. If this toleration now extends to Ken, I assume it also extends to those, like me, who believe that EU membership is making Britain poorer, less democratic and less free. A number of Conservative MPs signed the "Better Off Out" declaration, and were told that, as long as they held this view, they would remain on the back benches. Since then, a couple have removed their names – possibly because they now support EU membership, or possibly because they want preferment. But a handful of non-jurors remain: Douglas Carswell, Philip Davies, Philip Hollobone and the Wintertons. These could presumably now claim the same dispensation as Ken, and continue to argue in a private capacity that Britain should reclaim its independence, while accepting as front-benchers that the party line is different. I hope at least one of them is promoted in the reshuffle.

It's easy to look at craft beer as some sort of underground club, with all of the secret passwords (Reinheitsgebot?) and acronyms (IBU, OG and CO2 to name a few). Plus, you know some particularly beer geeky bottle-shares must have unique and complicated (if not completely dorky) handshakes. But once you get into the world of beer, it isn't so intimidating. The hardest part is becoming aware that the world of craft beer exists at all. Having a guide already privy to the lingo, hot spots and best brews makes things a lot easier. Nearly every craft beer fan has a good-hearted shepherd to thank for taking the time to expose them to something better, and we want to recognize these people for the good they do. To put it simply, by selflessly guiding people toward the promised land, they make the world a better place. That's why we're asking you to take a moment to call them out for their good deeds on social media. Go online and tell us who showed you the light by telling your story and tagging them on Facebook or calling them out on Twitter using #craftbeershepherd. When doing so, take a second and ponder where you would you be without them—perhaps falling for gimmicks like Vortex bottles, black crowns, crafty branding and subsisting solely on American adjunct-laced swill. Praise be to the #craftbeersheperd!
Stone Brewing
Long Lost Epic: Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale
By now, many are familiar with our newest brewing foray, the Stone Stochasticity Project. But even two brews in, you may not be familiar with the term "stochastic," especially in the context of brewing. The definition of stochasticity is wordy and probably only truly makes sense if you've studied Probability Theory in depth (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy doesn't count—that's Improbability Theory), but even our one-track minds picked up on the potential and complexity of this idea. In layman's terms, stochastic is a non-deterministic, or random, state. So, why not just say that? For one, the scientific background would be lost, and random just doesn't have the same ring as Stochasticity, nor all the connotation. Two, the Stone Stochasticity Project is much more than just brewing beer. It involves delving beyond what most people think about beyond beer's four main ingredients. So where does that leave us in our ever-evolving quest for good craft beer? Right at the newest member of this series, Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale, a beer that holds up to the stochastic and technical nature of this venture.
Top Chef in the House: Amanda Vs. The Arbolcots
We knew Amanda Baumgarten could cook, but once we caught a glimpse of one of her homebrew recipes, it was abundantly clear that her artisanal skills extended beyond the kitchen and into the brewing arena. A former cheftestant on Bravo TV's wildly popular competition show Top Chef, the talented toque recently opened a thriving gastropub called Waypoint Public in San Diego's North Park neighborhood. Despite being in one of the most craft beer-centric parts of the city (the community is also home to Toronado San Diego, Tiger! Tiger! Tavern, Mike Hess Brewing Company, Thorn St. Brewery and lots more), her restaurant is known for having one of the best beer selections in town. That clout rose even more this summer when Baumgarten was able to add a beer of her own devising to the tap list—Amanda Vs. The Arbolcots.
Barrel Aging Part II: Original Wine & Spirit Flavors
Earlier this year, we solicited questions from our fans about our barrel-aging program, then funneled all of those queries, like fine imperial stout into barrels, to our Research and Small Batch Manager Steve Gonzalez. Steve is in charge of our barrels and has a storied vocational lineage that includes many years spent at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and E&J Gallo Winery. Basically, he knows everything. (He's not a self-proclaimed know-it-all, mind you…we're the ones getting sublimely self-righteous on his behalf.) One of the many cool things about Steve is that he relishes the opportunity to share info about his specialized line of work. As such, he was happy to tackle our fans' questions. He tackled so many, that we're doling out his answers via a four-part series. This, the second installment, covers inquiries about wine and spirit flavors that are trapped in the barrels we use and ultimately lend flavor to the beers we age in those oak vessels.
Crank It Up: Kyle Hollingsworth / Keri Kelli / Stone Collective Distortion IPA
Our new double India pale ale, Kyle Hollingsworth / Keri Kelli / Stone Collective Distortion IPA recently wrapped up a whirlwind, coast-to-coast pre-release tour. Considering this fruity and pleasantly earthy brew's rock star status, it seemed fitting to afford it the touring band treatment its co-creators are used to. That duo consists of The String Cheese Incident keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth and guitarist Keri Kelli of Alice Cooper and Skid Row fame. Together, like savants providing a reliable backbeat for a most magnificent jam session, the duo guided us toward the recipe for this neo-traditional beer. The hop bill consists of Calypso, Comet and Nugget hops, given staccato-esque punctuation thanks to healthy dry-hopping with Vic's Secret, a recently introduced hop from Australia. But anybody can come up with an out-there (or Down Under) assemblage of hops. What turns this already blaring imperial IPA up to 11 is spicing from coriander seeds and—a first for us—elderberries. It's unlike any IPA we've ever made…and we've made a lot of IPAs!
All Aboard: Team Stone Orientation
Even in the exciting brewing industry, starting a new job is a little daunting. Like any job, all the new people and pre-established dynamics can be tough to get a grip on…and then there's all the work that has to be done on top of that. But add in the hundreds of new people and 18 years of pre-established liquid lore and well-documented ideologies associated with Stone Brewing Co., and it makes for a few abdominal butterflies. Even coming from a smaller but plenty reputable brewing company (well, two, technically, having worked for two brands under one roof, Port Brewing Co. and The Lost Abbey), this was a formidable new career undertaking to say the least. Thank goodness for what may possibly be the best employee orientation in the world—or at least the brewing industry.
Spicing Up Spring: Stone Smoked Porter w/Chipotle Pepper
Most of our fans are under the impression Stone Smoked Porter w/Chipotle Peppers debuted in 2012. There's good reason for this. In May of that year, we launched a website, announcing the existence of that beer along with its cousin, Stone Smoked Porter w/Vanilla Bean. This coincided with our national launch of both beers, but as those whose fanatic-level knowledge of our humble brewing company know, both beers came into being years before, though their impetuses were quite different. The epiphany for the bean-bolstered brew came when one of our small batch brewers plopped a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream into a pint of Stone Smoked Porter, while the smoked jalapeño-infused version was presented as an alternative to thin, fizzy, low-flavor macro-lagers offered around Cinco de Mayo.
Taste Bud: Meet Our New Chef
It took us years (yep, plural, as in more than two 365-day spans) to open San Diego's largest operating restaurant in the city's Liberty Station community. Because of that site's historic status—the mixed-use development was built on the former Naval Training Center campus, which was formerly the largest U.S. Navy training site on the West Coast—there were many considerations that needed to be taken to maintain the integrity of the structure we took over, especially since we were installing a kitchen and seating for more than 600 diners at a time, but also a 10-barrel brewhouse with a 60-barrel capacity cellar. We put a lot of thought into every single detail at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, and that goes double (if not triple or quadruple…this is starting to sound like a run-down of Trappist ale styles) for the food. We knew we'd need a special talent—someone bold, determined and committed—and that's just what we found in our Executive Chef Thomas Connolly.
Arts & Drafts: Stone's Fan-Made Gallery
Acting as a refreshing wind in an industry formerly dominated by watery lagers, craft breweries quench imbibers' thirsts while also fueling their minds and imaginations. A stroll through any Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens restaurant, Stone Company Store or even our flagship brewery, will turn up Stone-inspired artwork and aesthetic touches ingrained in those facilities' architecture and design. While our signature style and imagination are highly visible to the public, for the most part, only members of Team Stone get to see the creative pieces designed for us by our fans, many of whom use Stone and our beer as their muses. Luckily for us, many of these artists gift us with their creations, allowing us to populate our venues with collections of fan-made art, ranging from sculptures to skateboards. We cherish their work and generosity, and are happy to share some of the fruits of their inventive labor with you here.
#PairedWith: Stone Saison
Few, if any beer styles offer such a wide-ranging array of flavors as saison. Alternately referred to as "farmhouse ales" for the French and Belgian rural structures in which the style originated, no two taste the same, and therein lies the glory of the saison. Anything goes…and we like that! Tangy, earthy, peppery, herbaceous, floral, spicy and fruity are among the numerous descriptors that can accompany this rangy beer style. So, when conceptualizing our new Stone Saison, we were essentially able to go in any direction we wanted. It seemed only right to bottle up a Belgian-style beer that, while different from most of the incredibly hoppy offerings we're known for, clearly embodied who we are; something 100% Stone! It was a tall order, but one sip is all it'll take to show fans why we think we came through with flying colors.

It's an old, futuristic looking font, can't seem to find it anywhere, it's around 8 years old as a logo.
As close as I could find: Denver Broncos Custom (small differences - could be based on actual font)
Thanks bojev, I don't think this was a created font for the logotype, Broncos is close but differs slightly, I think it's a case of finding it!

Old Mole Variety Hour
The Old Mole burrows down to the roots of the great issues of our time – the struggles of ordinary people for democratic and sustainable ways of life. The Mole goes where corporate media fear to tread, supporting grassroots challenges to top-down authority and giving voice to movements that shake the foundations of an unjust society. The Moles' perspective is democratic, broadly socialist, and feminist. (We count Karl Marx as a friend).
Here is why we call this show "The Old Mole"
Our theme "Mole in the Ground" is by Bascom Lamar Lunsford (1924), somtimes blended with a newer versions, like the one by dj/rupture, sung by Sindhu Zagoren. It's on the album Special Gunpowder.
Our graphic lettering is by Charlie Ertola.
You can leave comments for the Moles at email@example.com or by clicking on the comment section for any of our audio pieces.

Chester Hartman has written widely on housing issues, and he talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick. Hartman, an urban planner and author, is Director of Research of the Poverty & Race Research Action Council in Washington, DC.

Insane War in Gaza
"ISRAEL's war in Gaza is an act of political insanity. It is the product of a deeply disturbed society, able neither to curb its military arrogance nor calm its profound paranoia. The consequences are likely to be painful for Israel's long-term prospects." So argues a leading British writer on the middle east, Patrick Seale, in this essay read here by Tom Becker. You can find it in print at the Saudi Gazette.

Old Mole Variety Hour for December 29, 2008
Hosted by Clayton Morgareidge, this program looks at how the emerging Obama administration is walking the line between public interest and private profit in two areas: health care and education. It features several great drum solos from the jazz world (mostly curtailed in the webcast for copyright reasons), and Larry Bowlden's review of Unseen Sights, a novel about mental health and its costs.
One drum piece is heard in its entirety (following Larry's book review); it's by Glen Sheidt of Iretsu.

2. Bill Resnick and Paul Gorman discuss a wider range of options for health care than Obama seems to have in mind.

National Health and Beyond

Avatar's Jake Sully is ---- Tarzan - - -
A great review I've seen on Avatar (and how the soldier will save the people):
There is a link from there that exposes Cameron's plot as a mirror of Pocahontas, amazing parallel! http://failblog.org/2010/01/10/avatar-plot-fail/
Since watching Avatar, I have viewed older videos on DVD and would rate that ahead of Avatar.
commentary transcripts
It's convenient to have the Old Mole audio files available.
Even more useful for some of us would be transcripts of the commentaries (Clayton Morgareidge). Written material allows a person a chance to review, consider, digest and refer to mentioned references & thinkers. The "Well Read Red" commentary from 4 Aug 08 is a good example of a piece I'd like to read at my own pace.
These folks are so profound
These folks are so profound and fascinating, especially the Resnick guy. Wow!

In Topic: Help with choosing a new gun.
08 August 2011 - 09:05 AM
ger, on 15 July 2011 - 09:30 AM, said:The guys in those pictures are speedballers... I'm not, but use almost identical setups. Speed vs. Woods players doesn't matter in this discussion.
Of the 100+ paintball games I've probably played, less than 10 have been "speedball" - I play primarily big-game, scenario woodsball. The type of marker setup I run does not dictate the type of player I am. After years of using an A-5 I moved into the Automag world then into an electro, the only reason I'll ever go back to something like an A-5 is for nostalgic reasons. Lighter-n-tighter is where it's at for me, but again that's just me.
Exactly. Personal preference. I like offset, you like centerfeed. End of discussion.
In Topic: Painting my Sniper rifle
15 July 2011 - 05:16 AMUse some leaves and ferns to make outlines. I play a sniper position so I had my friend paint a brown base, then he put green tiger stripes over it, then green, tan and brown fern outlines. Then i added cut up camo netting to make it ghillied.

QuoteIm going to let you into a paintball tip: Say Whut?
Centerfeed makes it easier to aim, especially when it comes down to being able to play both left and right sides of a bunker, its more balanced. its much much more stable being directly above the support. (that being the marker) and not to mention they can have a low profile. and if you want smaller. use a smaller hopper. Want even smaller? use a 10 round stick feed.
Want EVEN smaller? hand load the paintballs.
dont get me wrong, I have my tippy 98 and I'll play with the offset feedneck.
But by all means unless you ABSOLUTLY hate center feed. and do so with logical and though out opinions. no reason not to use one.
Notice all those players are speedballers? I play woodsball. I use a red dot. I like to sort of "snipe" (not long range, just accuracy). I see your points, but if add a sight, an offset is MUCH more accurate on the first shot with a good barrel and good paint. I don't always use the sight on every shot, but I am an accurate "natural" shooter. I think it's easier for me to shoot natural without a hopper in the way on the middle.
In Topic: Help with choosing a new gun.
28 April 2011 - 12:55 PM
Eskimo, on 28 February 2011 - 09:33 PM, said:thats very strange that you don't like centerfeed. Hmmmm.
any reason why? center feed markers are more balanced through left and right shooting not to mention support loaders much better.
your odd.
I'd suggest a used marker if possible. you may be able to pick up SP-1's with the offset feed neck. Classic valved Automags or ones with the RT valve. ( they will have left and right powerfeeds) or a used BT package. BT markers are fantastically simple to tech, well.. same with tippmann's but with the BT its nice to be able to remove the grip frame if need be, helps trouble shoot.
Centerfeed makes it so you can't aim very well, and the hopper sticks up higher. I have used both and don't notice a real difference in balance.
In Topic: Help with choosing a new gun.
28 April 2011 - 12:52 PMI would go with a BT4. They are EXTREMELY adaptable and well under the price of any Tipmann. Anything that fits a 98 Custom will fit a BT. Also, a BT-4 with E trigger bought separately would be around 190, but E triggers blow through a lot of paint, plus you need a feed system for it. The basic BT has an offset hopper, A5 threads, rails, and a short barrel that isn't that great. They are also fairly quiet compared to the VL Triton II.
