Screenprinting is our speciality :-) When founder Jordan Carr first opened the doors of Oddities Prints in 2015, he brought with him a wellspring of screenprinting knowledge and expertise. With over 18 years in the game, this know-how translates to exceptional printing standards across all processes we offer. Whatever your custom printing needs, we are focused on delivering a most excellent experience and end result based on your vision.
Screenprint (aka Silkscreen) is a stencil based process used commonly in the production of printed apparel, hats, gig posters, event merch -- more or less anything which can be made flat. This technique allows for high-quality impressions for production runs both large and small. Being an owner-operated shop, we're able to take on print jobs that other spots might consider too small, complex, or unprecedented. Whatever project you've got in mind, drop us a line and we can get a conversation started with our press operator about how best to actualize your vision.
For most screen printed jobs, you can expect turnaround to be anywhere from 5-10 business days from the date of proof approval. If you have an upcoming event or desired in-hand date, be sure to share that in your quote request so we can help quickly meet your deadline. If you need something completed in 2-4 business days, rush fees can be calculated upon request.
When preparing your artwork for print, it's best to work from vector, native digital files, or even an original drawing if available. As far as formats go, .ai or .eps files with all text converted to outlines are ideal. Any gradients or mid tones will be printed with a standard halftone pattern of 36 LPI. If you do not have vector art, or are unsure which format to use, please send all versions available. We'll be able to diagnose the artwork and get it headed in the right direction.
'Press-ready' artwork means all elements are prepared to be color separated, add trapping, etc as needed to burn your image onto a silkscreen. If you need us to setup artwork for you, we perform this service at the rate of $75/hour with a half hour minimum.
When designing or laying out your artwork, bear in mind that screen mesh can be built *very* tight so as to allow for a crisp impression. As a result, details smaller than 2pts thick or under 12-16pt font (depending on the style) cannot be maintained on press. If you are unsure about whether or not your artwork will translate well to silkscreen, send over your file and we will help you determine how best to recreate the image.
Plastisol ink is the industry standard. It's especially ideal for artwork which requires an exact Pantone color match and/or super opaque impressions.
Waterbased Ink is an ultra thin, environmentally friendly alternative, with an almost "feel-less" ink deposit. When printing textiles, the result is a super comfy garment with a nice 'vintage' appearance, due to lighter colors being slightly transparent. Water based ink is not compatible with designs which require an exact Pantone color match.
Discharge ink -used exclusively in textile pritning- involves a process which chemically removes the shirt's fabric color in order to replace it with an ultra-thin pigment dye. This leaves an incredibly soft feel and vibrant colors on even the darkest of shirts. Discharge is only compatible with 100% cotton garments.
Price will be determined based on the number of ink colors, locations, and type of material we are printing on. Additional fees may apply for assorted finishings or other specialty ink applications. Note: For standard print pricing, we mix all colors by eye. If you need an exact Pantone match, we will order in the precise ink color for an additional charge. In any case, the larger the print run, the less expensive per-print your job will be.

Sterling Silver Periwinkle has masses of beautiful blue flowers along the stems from mid spring to early summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its attractive small glossy oval leaves remain dark green in color with showy white variegation throughout the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Sterling Silver Periwinkle is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
Sterling Silver Periwinkle will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.
This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider covering it with a thick layer of mulch in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
Sterling Silver Periwinkle is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its spreading habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Great photo. By the way, FabioM and GarySibio won't get a notification of your response to them because it is entered as a separate comment. To reply to them and have them get a notification you need to click on the arrow on the right side of the screen across from their name. That way when you reply to a comment the person will come back to read the comment and you increase the chance of an additional paid view. I had someone explain that to me shortly after I signed up. Very nice job catching the owl in flight.

WordPress was introduced as a pure weblog system which can be easily converted to a Web Content Management System, of course with considerable effort.
Articles are listed either by topic category or displayed according to the time of publication.
Every article can be commented upon by users, only if the feature has been enabled web server the blog or website operator.
Extensions: Next, the blog system included in WordPress is quite similar to Typo3, a basic system featuring extensions that can be enabled as needed. The basic package provided by most of the prominent WordPress development companies is only limited number of plugins while all others must be manually installed after initial installation. Although, there are numerous plugins available but most of them cover features from the community-based social software or web 2.0 spectrum.
Limited enterprise capability: WordPress 3.5 supports two of the most important features of an enterprise web CMS, i.e. Multilanguage and Multidomain capabilities. It may quite interest you to know that for this purpose, the features of formerly separate MU version were integrated into the CMS as standard. And this is the reason why it is possible to operate several blog domains with one WordPress installation.
Security problems: Due to enormous popularity as well as regular security gaps, several automated attacks have been targeted at WordPress. As a result, WordPress developers are striving hard to increase security.
Another important web content management system worth considering is Joomla. With its origins in the open source project Mambo, Joomla turns out to be entirely object-oriented and components adhere to the Model View Controller (MVC) design principles. By using Joomla as a framework and its corresponding API, one can easily end up creating extensions and web applications using the framework. The new Joomla User Interface (JUI) library allows a user to individually customize extensions. Thus, it is used to subsequently implement additional enterprise features such as SAP connectors or similar features.
System requirements: Like WordPress, Joomla is based on PHP and MYSQL. The basic requirement for a successful operation on a webserver is PHP 5.3.1. Moreover, Joomla 3.x supports the databases MSSQL and PostgreSQL pretty easily.
Easy installation: System installation is very simple and can be carried out within minutes. Hence, even small to medium sized companies without IT departments can implement an operational web CMS. For example, many fora websites choose Joomla as a CMS platform to cover all important questions and topics, and users can quickly find information regarding the system.
Security issues: Due to the popularity of the CMS, many hack attacks have been made on Joomla sites! Due to an insufficient input check, developers soon found a security gap. However, since the release of version 1.5.6, security gaps have reduced to third-party plugins.
Extensions: Joomla being a large community offers a wide range of extensions. For example, in the backend or frontend, specific additional features are included such as RSS feed integration. On and all, components, modules, and plugins are interconnected in such a way that they do not function individually and need to be installed as a package to achieve desirable results.
Unlike other open sources available in the market, most of the web development companies believe Typo3 as one of the mature, feature-complete enterprise web content management system. In fact, the platform offers connections to numerous third-party systems that are already present in the existing software architecture.
Unlike Joomla or Typo3 which are pure-play web content management systems or WordPress which are often used as a blog software, Drupal follows the approach of combining simple web content management with social community software. In addition to this, Drupal strongly focuses on providing an extensive set of social community tools.
Distributions: Drupal is used by numerous companies as a community tool for social portals and blogs. For this, numerous distribution models are available such as stand-alone blog distribution, community distribution, distribution for educational institutions, etc.
System Requirements: The current version is Drupal 7.x which can be effortlessly implemented either on an Apache-, Ngix-, Lighttpd- or Microsoft ISS-Server. Either MySQL from version 5.0.15 on, PostgreSQL from Version 8.3 or SQLite from version 3.3.7 can be used as database server software. Since version 7, PHP 5.2 is also used.
Extensions and exchangeable: Like other CMS, additional features are implemented through the use of extensions. However, these modules are not compatible with other Drupal versions. In short, Drupal is unsuitable for use in a business-critical corporate environment and its maintenance turns out to be a full-time job.
CMS and framework: Drupal is comprehensive and well documented but it is not based on a standard CMS architecture visualized for developers. Hence, it cannot be used as web CMS but it can be used as a comprehensive social community solution.

Much has been said about the perks of travel, from allowing us to renew ourselves during vacations to learning about various cultures. And with the decreasing prices of airfare and the advent of Airbnb, travel has become more convenient and accessible. It also has benefits for entrepreneurs and start-up founders.
Brightpark Edu-Travel says in reports that 94% of business leaders in the US believe travel experience directly translates to a competitive advantage in the workplace.
For Southeast Asian entrepreneurs, here are four ways travel makes them better at what they do:
1. Travel gives you fresh ideas
In the case of Malaysian CatchThatBus co-founder and COO, Ashwin Jeyapalasingam, his start-up wouldn't even exist if he hadn't been traveling, and that the idea for it came when he was traveling in the UK. "The idea came to us based on the prevalence of online booking options in the UK while studying there and the challenges faced while Viren, the CEO of CatchThatBus, was trying to travel around by bus in India," Jeyapalasingam says.
He adds that if it was difficult for them to navigate the bus scene in a foreign country, surely "that must be the case for 27 million annual tourists in Malaysia too!"
Similarly, PaidUp founder and CEO Asim Haneef also got his eureka moment while traveling. "[PaidUp] was born from traveling across developing countries and seeing the patterns and problems across them—I could see that small and medium businesses everywhere were having difficulty getting access to credit, and that's where the concept of the app came from, a mobile app that lets small and medium businesses effectively crowdfund working capital and investment from their customers, allowing them to bypass banks and begin to create a digital credit history for themselves."
2. Travel enhances your knowledge
Haneef says that travel also helps him as a start-up founder because it educates him. "As a founder, I need to always be learning, and that's exactly what happens when I'm travelling – you gain insights into different cultures, practices, and problems too," he says. "I travelled across India just after my school days and it taught me that most people around the world are struggling 100 times more than what we can imagine, and yet the way they deal with their problems is often resourceful and creative—that's something most founders can learn a lot from."
3. Travel can expand your market
Justin Hall, principal at Golden Gate Ventures, says that market expansion is incredibly important for Southeast Asian entrepreneurs. "The most successful companies here will operate in two or three countries, not just their home market," Hall says. "Travel exposes them to market opportunities elsewhere, and gives them an idea as to what their potential might be if they made that strategic leap." Hall says it's also important to meet friends and colleagues in other countries around the region. "[This] can open the door to potential business opportunities or key hires, both of which are crucial when scaling up in new markets," he says.
Jeyapalasingam says that for CatchThatBus, they expanded their market when they traveled to Indonesia. "While traveling in Indonesia, we realized how big the offline market was (people who don't or can't purchase online) which led to our big focus this year on converting offline customers. We've introduced cash on delivery and opened our own physical counters and these now contribute 10% sales in under three months since introduction."
4. Travel makes you a better person overall
Both Jeyapalasingam and Haneef agree that travel can make one a better person. To do this, one must do as the locals do and immerse themselves in the culture. "I always try out local franchises rather than a McDonald's because I want to understand what made the local franchise successful in that environment," says Jeyapalasingam. "It forces you to appreciate things from a different perspective, which is especially useful if your business is catering to an audience where you are not the main market segment."
"Go and meet ordinary people, learn the language and, most importantly, work in a job of some kind," says Haneef. "I always feel that casual traveling is fine, but you don't truly know a country or the people, or what makes it the way it is, unless you've had some experience working there. I'd also challenge people to just erase any assumptions about other people based on TV and media before you travel too. They're mostly incorrect stereotypes, and the important thing is to go with an open mind. I feel like travelling has helped me become a better entrepreneur and a more well-rounded human being, so if you can somehow manage it, even doing voluntary work abroad is one of the most valuable things you can do."

This volume presents, for the first time in English, Husserl's seminal 1923/24 lecture course First Philosophy (Erste Philosophie) together with a selection of material from the famous research manuscripts of the same time period. The lecture course is divided into two systematic, yet interrelated parts ("Critical History of Ideas" and "Theory of the Phenomenological Reduction"). It has long been recognized by scholars as among the most important of the many lecture courses he taught in his career. Indeed it was deemed as crucially important by Husserl himself, who composed it with a view toward eventual publication. It is unsurprising, then, that First Philosophy is the only lecture course that is consistently counted among his major works. In addition to furnishing valuable insights into Husserl's understanding of the history of philosophy, First Philosophy is his most sustained treatment of the phenomenological reduction, the central concept of his philosophical methodology. The selection of supplemental texts expands on the topics treated in the lectures, but also add other themes from Husserl's vast oeuvre. The manuscript material is especially worthwhile, because in it, Husserl offers candid self-criticisms of his publicly enunciated words, and also makes forays into areas of his philosophy that he was loath to publicize, lest his words be misunderstood. As Husserl's position as a key contributor to contemporary thought has, with the passage of time, become increasingly clear, the demand for access to his writings in English has steadily grown. This translation strives to meet this demand by providing English-speaking readers access to this central Husserlian text. It will be of interest to scholars of Husserl's work, non-specialists, and students of phenomenology.

Claire Ortiz Hill The publication of all but a small, unfound, part of the complete text of the lecture course on logic and theory of knowledge that Edmund Husserl gave at Gottingen during the winter semester of 1906/07 became a reality in 1984 with the publication of Einleitung in die Logik und Erkenntnistheorie, Vorlesungen 1906/07 edited by 1 Ullrich Melle. Published in that volume were also 27 appendices containing material selected to complement the content of the main text in significant ways. They provide valuable insight into the evolution of Husserl's thought between the Logical Investigations and Ideas I and, therefore, into the origins of phenomenology. That text and all those appendices but one are translated and published in the present volume. Omitted are only the "Personal Notes" dated September 25, 1906, November 4, 1907, and March 6, 1908, which were translated by Dallas Willard and published in his translation of Husserl's Early 2 Writings in the Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics. Introduction to Logic and Theory of Knowledge, Lectures 1906/07 provides valuable insight into the development of the ideas fun- mental to phenomenology. Besides shedding considerable light on the genesis of phenomenology, it sheds needed light on many other dimensions of Husserl's thought that have puzzled and challenged scholars.

This book provides a short introduction to Husserlian Phenomenology by Husserl himself. Husserl highly regarded his work "The Basic Problems of Phenomenology" as basic for his theory of the phenomenological reduction. He considered this work as equally fundamental for the theory of empathy and intersubjectivity and for his theory of the life-world. Further, with the appendices, it reveals Husserl in a critical dialogue with himself.

This is the first English translation of Husserliana XXIII, the volume in the critical edition of Edmund Husserl's works that gathers together a rich array of posthumous texts on representational consciousness. The lectures and sketches comprising this work make available the most profound and comprehensive Husserlian account of image consciousness. They explore phantasy in depth, and furnish nuanced accounts of perception and memory.

In his first book, Philosophy of Arithmetic, Edmund Husserl provides a carefully worked out account of number as a categorial or formal feature of the objective world, and of arithmetic as a symbolic technique for mastering the infinite field of numbers for knowledge. It is a realist account of numbers and number relations that interweaves them into the basic structure of the universe and into our knowledge of reality. It provides an answer to the question of how arithmetic applies to reality, and gives an account of how, in general, formalized systems of symbols work in providing access to the world. The "appendices" to this book provide some of Husserl's subsequent discussions of how formalisms work, involving David Hilbert's program of completeness for arithmetic. "Completeness" is integrated into Husserl's own problematic of the "imaginary", and allows him to move beyond the analysis of "representations" in his understanding of the logic of mathematics. Husserl's work here provides an alternative model of what "conceptual analysis" should be - minus the "linguistic turn", but inclusive of language and linguistic meaning. In the process, he provides case after case of "Phenomenological Analysis" - fortunately unencumbered by that title - of the convincing type that made Husserl's life and thought a fountainhead of much of the most important philosophical work of the twentieth Century in Europe. Many Husserlian themes to be developed at length in later writings first emerge here: Abstraction, internal time consciousness, polythetic acts, acts of higher order ('founded' acts), Gestalt qualities and their role in knowledge, formalization (as opposed to generalization), essence analysis, and so forth. This volume is a window on a period of rich and illuminating philosophical activity that has been rendered generally inaccessible by the supposed "revolution" attributed to "Analytic Philosophy" so-called. Careful exposition and critique is given to every serious alternative account of number and number relations available at the time. Husserl's extensive and trenchant criticisms of Gottlob Frege's theory of number and arithmetic reach far beyond those most commonly referred to in the literature on their views.

Section 3: Related Essays. Index.
Coming from what is arguably the most productive period of Husserl's life, this volume offers the reader a first translation into English of Husserl's renowned lectures on 'passive synthesis', given between 1920 and 1926. These lectures are the first extensive application of Husserl's newly developed genetic phenomenology to perceptual experience and to the way in which it is connected to judgments and cognition. They include an historical reflection on the crisis of contemporary thought and human spirit, provide an archaeology of experience by questioning back into sedimented layers of meaning, and sketch the genealogy of judgment in 'active synthesis'. Drawing upon everyday events and personal experiences, the Analyses are marked by a patient attention to the subtle emergence of sense in our lives. By advancing a phenomenology of association that treats such phenomena as bodily kinaesthesis, temporal genesis, habit, affection, attention, motivation, and the unconscious, Husserl explores the cognitive dimensions of the body in its affectively significant surroundings. An elaboration of these diverse modes of evidence and their modalizations (transcendental aesthetic), allows Husserl to trace the origin of truth up to judicative achievements (transcendental logic). Joined by several of Husserl's essays on static and genetic method, the Analyses afford a richness of description unequalled by the majority of Husserl's works available to English readers. Students of phenomenology and of Husserl's thought will find this an indispensable work.

This text comprises a translation of five lectures delivered in 1907 at the University of Gottingen. In it the author lays out the philosophical problem of knowledge, indicates the requirements for its solution, and introduces the phenomenological method of reduction. For those interested in the genesis and development of Husserl's phenomenology, this text affords a glimpse into the epistemological motivation of his work, his concept of intentionality, and the formation of central phenomenological concepts that will later go by the names of "transcendental consciousness", the "noema", and the like. This is a teaching text and it is brief and unencumbered by the technical terminology of the author's later work. It bears a connection to the problem of knowledge as formulated in the Cartesian tradition, and it is accompanied by a translator's introduction that spells out the structure, argument, and movement of the text.

Most notably, the volume contains English translations of: all the drafts of - as well as Heidegger's contributions to - Husserl's ill-fated article 'Phenomenology' - a garbled version of which was published in the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1929; Husserl's 'Amsterdam Lectures', delivered in 1928; the copious notes that Husserl wrote in the margins of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit and Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik; and Husserl's lecture 'Phanomenologie und Anthropologie', delivered in 1931. Ably edited, translated, and introduced by two leading scholars, these texts as a whole document Husserl's thinking as he approached retirement from teaching and also shed light on the philosophical chasm that was widening at the time between Husserl and Heidegger.

Part 1 The foundations of a phenomenological theory of perception: fundamental determinations of outer perception-- the methodological possibility of the analysis of perception.
Part 2 Analysis of unchanged outer perception: the elements of perceptual correlation-- the constitution of the temporal and spatial extension of the appearance.
Part 3 Analysis of the kinetic synthesis of perception: changes in perception and changes in appearance-- the giveness of the thing at rest in continuous courses of perception-- the possibility and sense of an adequate perception of spatial things-- recaptulation-- the analyses of perception in the framework of the phenomenological reduction.
Part 4 The significance of the kinaesthetic systems for the constitution of the perceived object: the phenomenological concept of kinaesthesis-- the correlation between the visual field and the kinaesthetic sequences-- the thing as unity in the kinaesthetically motivated manifold of appearances.
Part 5 The transition from the oculomotor field to objective space-- the constitution of three-dimensional, spatial corporeality-- amplifications of the oculomotor field-- the typicality of the modifications of appearances in the oculomotor field-- the constitution of space through the conversion of the oculomotor field into an expansional and turning manifold-- supplementary considerations.
Part 6 The constitution of objective change-- qualitative changes of the perceptual object-- the constitution of mere movements.
This is a translation of Husserl's "Thing-lectures" (Dingvorlesung) of 1907, published posthumously in 1973. The lectures deal with the constitution of the thing as a res extensa, an extended spatial structure filled with sensuous qualities and not yet with substantial or causal properties. Key to this phenomenological account is the role of the kinaesthetic systems of the body in the constitution of both three-dimensional space and the thing in its identity, its manifold of possible movements, and its position in relation to the ego.The "Thing-lectures" form part of the project of a 'phenomenology and critique of reason' announced in a general introduction to the same lectures and published separately as The Idea of Phenomenology. There for the first time the idea of a transcendental phenomenology based on the principle of the phenomenological reduction was laid out. The lectures presented here thus form a striking example of the application of this idea to a concrete and fundamental field of research.

1894. Review of Melchior Palagyi's "Der Streit der Psychologisten und Formalisten in der modernen Logik". Report on German Writings in Logic: from the Years 1895-1899. Comments in Lalande, "Vocabulaire technique et critique de la philosophie". Review of A. Marty, "Untersuchungen zur Grundlegung der allgemeinen Grammatik und Sprachphilosophie". Intuition and Representation, Intention and Fulfilment. Intentional Objects. Discussion of K. Twardowski, "Zur Lehre vom Inhalt und Gegenstand der Vorstellungen". Discussion of H. Cornelius, "Versuch einer heorie der Existentialurteile". Appendices to Husseniana XXII. "Personal Notes".
This book makes available to the English reader nearly all of the shorter philosophical works, published or unpublished, that Husserl produced on the way to the phenomenological breakthrough recorded in his Logical Investigations of 1900-1901. Here one sees Husserl's method emerging step by step, and such crucial substantive conclusions as that concerning the nature of Ideal entities and the status the intentional 'relation' and its 'objects'. Husserl's literary encounters with many of the leading thinkers of his day illuminates both the context and the content of his thought. Many of the groundbreaking analyses provided in these texts were never again to be given the thorough expositions found in these early writings. "Early Writings in the Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics" is essential reading for students of Husserl and all those who enquire into the nature of mathematical and logical knowledge.

The "Cartesian Meditations" translation is based primarily on the printed text, edited by Professor S. Strasser and published in the first volume of "Husserliana: Cartesianische Meditationen und Pariser Vortrage", 90-247-0214-3. Most of Husserl's emendations, as given in the Appendix to that volume, have been treated as if they were part of the text. The others have been translated in footnotes. Secondary consideration has been given to a typescript (cited as "Typescript C") on which Husserl wrote in 1933: "Cartes. Meditationen/Originaltext 1929/E. Husserl/fur Dorion Cairns". Its use of emphasis and quotation marks conforms more closely to Husserl's practice, as exemplified in works published during his lifetime. In this respect the translation usually follows Typescript C. Moreover, some of the variant readings in this typescript are preferable and have been used as the basis for the translation. Where that is the case, the published text is given or translated in a footnote. The published text and Typescript C have been compared with the French translation by Gabrielle Pfeiffer and Emmanuel Levinas (Paris, Armand Collin, 1931). The use of emphasis and quotation marks in the French translation corresponds more closely to that in Typescript C than to that in the published text. Often, where the wording of the published text and that of Typescript C differ, the French translation indicates that it was based on a text that corresponded more closely to one or the other - usually to Typescript C. In such cases the French translation has been quoted or cited in a footnote.

The present translation draws upon nearly half a century of Husserl scholarship as well as the many translations into English of other books by Husserl, occasioned by W.R. Boyce Gibson's pioneering translation of "Ideas, First Book", in 1931. Based on the most recent German edition of the original text published in 1976 by Martinus Nijhoff and edited by Dr. Karl Schuhmann, the present translation offers an entirely new rendering into English of Husserl's great work, together with a representative selection of Husserl's own noted and revised parts of his book. Thus the translation makes available, for the first time in English, a significant commentary by Husserl on his own text over a period of about sixteen years.

...well, not very that far back, but my first shipboard experiences had been Atlantic crossings during heyday of the "Golden Age" of sea liners. My very first trip to Europe had been aboard SS Independence in 1962, and I also came back house at the end of summer time on SS France. And so I've existed for enough time to be familiar with both ships and seniorhood.
Therefore, what-is-it we mature people look for in a cruise? Originally, we would like exactly what all the cruisers do: we such as the easier having almost all of the nuts-and-bolts travel details resolved for people; we such as the idea of planing a trip to several spots while unpacking only one time; we appreciate excellent pampering, service and exemplary food; therefore we like bang for our money that cruising offers.
1. Itinerary choice has a greater degree of importance to us since we've already traveled to many destinations.
2. Also important will be the high quality and volume of enrichment programs offered onboard to help keep our brains energetic in retirement.
3. Because our company is more likely to travel solamente, and, ironically, almost certainly going to travel in extensive multigenerational family groups with years breaking up the many years of youngest and earliest users, we award vessels with options for various types of people.
4. We possibly may have flexibility or health issues, so top-notch medical care and available boats are more inclined to be at the top of our number.
We will analyze all these issues and problems, the reason why each is important and which cruise lines/ships most useful address each one of these.
The problem: for all people, relaxing on deck, on our balconies or in observance lounges and viewing incredible scenery pass right by our noses is a popular part of cruising - specifically for those seniors thatn't since mobile because they once were. Others continue to be rather energetic and acquire off the ship at each chance but take pleasure in the going panorama between coast experiences, also. In either case, to satisfy both types of seniors, these scenic itineraries are best when situated close to shore so that the wildlife, edifices and natural beauty can be easily seen and enjoyed. Not surprising Alaska, the North Cape and river cruises tend to be such popular scenic itineraries for seniors. Here, by area and type of ship, tend to be our selections for cruises in locations where surroundings is master.
Why: For lots more active seniors just who crave closer encounters using the wilds of Alaska, this eight-ship, naturalist-led cruise line will not only provide an amazing up-close-and-personal conversation with glaciers and wildlife, but it does it with pampering and panache. Fares aren't inexpensive, nevertheless the cruises are nearly all-inclusive. Some provide twice-daily jaunts by Zodiac right up towards faces of calving glaciers and salmon-fishing bears. On the somewhat more sedate "heritage" sailings, individuals can scope out wildlife through binoculars on the connection. Onboard cuisine relies greatly regarding freshest locally procured meats and seafood, meals are public, and a fantastic feeling of camaraderie quickly develops among individuals, naturalists and staff.

A longtime Bay Area resident is taking the leap -- moving a thousand miles away to build a new home. Still, even from a distance, she needed help from 7 On Your Side's Michael Finney.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The stress of buying furniture may be matched only by the stress of having it delivered. The right time, the right care, and - the right place?
A Bay Area resident Cecilia Richardson who was moving 1000 miles away to Montana, tried to control all of that. But then, there's the fact so much that can go wrong.
"I was shocked and surprised because I had no idea any of this was happening,'' she recalls.
Richardson was building her own home on 40 acres in rural Montana, a sweeping view of the Mission Hills Mountain Range in her back yard. She had designed the home, hired her crew and ordered all the furniture ahead of time, from the Pottery Barn in Palo Alto.
She had arranged to have the furniture delivered after the house was completed, with "white glove service" that included special care and professional assembly.
"I was living in a trailer on my driveway,'' Richardson says, recounting her days roughing it on her vacant land while overseeing the construction. Everything was going well, until last May. The house was about half done. She got a call out of the blue.
"It was Pottery Barn, The delivery of furniture was here. This was at 9 o'clock at night, Mountain Time."
But, the house didn't exist yet. It was still under construction. Bulldozers and dirt piles surrounded her skeletal house. There was no power, no lights, just her iphone flashlight.
The crew arrived anyway, and in the dim light of her iphone, deposited $20,000 worth of furniture in her unfinished garage - it had only a roof and two walls.
"It sat there for months while the house was still under construction,'' she says. "It ruined the upholstery of the couch and none of the other furniture was assembled, just all in boxes."
When the house was finished she had to hire her own crew to bring in the furniture and assemble it. She was left with a bill for the extra labor and a damaged couch.
Richardson tried contacting the sales person who sold her all the furniture. She was promised immediate help - but says no one came through.
She contacted 7 On Your Side and ABC 7 reached out to Pottery Barn's parent company, Williams Sonoma. It delivered her a new couch, paid for the extra labor costs, and sent gifts and appliances for her troubles.
The company said: "We at Pottery Barn, are committed to providing our customers with premier services, and are disappointed that Ms. Richardson's experience did not meet our standards. We have been in contact with Ms. Richardson and have apologized for her experience and are working to make sure she is well taken care of as one of our valued customers. We take great pride in taking care of our customers and hope that we have addressed the concerns to her satisfaction and restored her confidence in our company. "
Takeaway: You don't have to accept delivery of merchandise if there is a problem with it. Richardson likely could have turned the delivery truck away-but says all's well in the end.

Reminder: "The Tear" discussion
Given that the next Hugo-nominated novella in the schedule, Ian McDonald's "The Tear", has never been available online, and was only recently added to the Anticipation Hugo voter packet, I suspect an even more resounding silence than last week. Nevertheless: I'll be rounding up opinion that I can find about "The Tear" on Sunday, and discussion would be welcome.
Niall awards, short fiction 1 Comment May 29, 2009
Story Notes 1
I've not been reading that much short fiction this year but, with an eye to being a half-way informed voted by the time Hugo nominations roll around, I've started to play catch-up. I'm going to try to post brief notes on what I've been reading every other week or so; and I'm going to dot around as the mood takes me, so don't expect reviews of complete issues or anthologies.
"Fellow Traveller" by Hari Kunzru
"Collecting" by Zhu Wen
"A Matter of Timing" by Bernadine Evaristo
(The Guardian, August-October)
The three entries so far in the Guardian's "China Reflected" relay of stories, which alternates contributions by Western and Chinese writers, riffing off each others' ideas and themes. Kunzru's "Fellow Traveller", probably the best of the three, is a gently comic piece in which a Western traveller finds himself a guest at a hotel on the summit of "Queer Stone Mountain" without quite remembering how or why he got there. By day he goes for aimless walks along misty paths, takes photographs of what he sees, and finds himself harassed by talking pandas who object to his choice of subjects:
"Many things to take pictures in China. Bridge over Yellow River. New Beijing Stadium. Development in autonomous regions. Three Gorges Damn."
"It's just a house."
"House never just house, when photo taken by imperialist lackey."
The hotel bartender is contemptuous: they're throwbacks, she says, wishing it was the Cultural Revolution all over again. Gradually the narrator acclimates to his situation, without ever full understanding it. Zhu Wen's short essay picks up on the idea of pandas as a Chinese national treasure ("Serve Chinese people by harness power of childlike feature, soft two-colour fur and pretending we about to have sex," they say in Kunzru's story. "We play major role in cold war"), and describes differing attitudes to collecting and cultural preservation in Britain and China, among other things reframing the tale of the communist party's use of last emperor of China, Aisin Gioro Puyi, as a form of collecting.
Bernadine Evaristo's story in turn picks up on the idea of individuals as cultural treasures, and satirically imagines a museum in a near-ish future China which presents, among other things, an "Exhibition of Britain". Features include his former Royal Highness, King Charles III ("forced to wear, at all times, a heavy ermine cape and a rather tacky papier-mache-crown"), an ex-Beefeater held up as a "typical, everyday Englishman", as well as more traditional treasures such as the Domesday Book, the statue of Eros from Piccadilly Circus, and a reconstructed Stonehenge. So the targets never really move beyond the obvious, but the story doesn't outstay its welcome, and the pointed final image offers a welcome counterbalancing seriousness.
"[a ghost samba]" by Ian McDonald (Postscripts 15).
Not, so far as I noticed, directly connected to Brasyl, but set in the same country and making use of the same basic sfnal concept, this is as story narrated by a 40-something music obsessive who tracks down the only copy of a young prodigy's second album (said prodigy having died in a fire) and then obsesses about completing it. At times it reminded me of both Stephen Baxter's "The Twelfth Album" and Alastair Reynolds' "Everlasting". It's probably a better story than either of them; arguably less sfnally ambitious, but as you'd expect, McDonald writes extremely well about the sound and sensation of music, and that's what gives this tale its force.
"Glass" by Daryl Gregory (Technology Review, November/December)
The problem with "Glass" is that it's too short – not that much longer than one of Nature's Futures – although whether that problem originates with constraints of the venue or with Gregory I couldn't tell you. The story is constructed as another neurobiological thought experiment, a la "Second Person, Present Tense" or "Dead Horse Point", except that this time there's a literal experiment involved: a trial of a new drug that stimulates mirror neruons. Dr Alycia Liddell is administering the drug to a small group of convicted criminals — sociopaths — with the hypothesis that it will provoke empathy. That she finds herself having to talk one patient out of a violent confrontation turns out to be evidence of a not entirely anticipated kind of success; and although that confrontation is tense and focused, and the story has a vicious final turn, there's an an inescapable sense that it ends just when it should be getting started.
"An Honest Day's Work" by Margo Lanagan (The Starry Rift)
I enjoyed this a lot; although there's a serious story at its heart, I think this is one of Lanagan's more playful stories (at least compared to the likes of "The Goosle"). It also happens to be the third story I've read this year – after Adam Roberts' Swiftly and Benjamin Rosenbaum's "Sense and Sensibility" – that riffs on the idea of humaniform life on a different scale. The narrator, a disabled boy, lives in a coastal village whose economy is built around capturing and carving up giant human-like creatures. The story deals with one such event and, even without the obvious resonance of the central image, provides plenty of opportunity for Lanagan to showcase her imaginative reach with characteristic vividness.
"Arkfall" by Carolyn Ives Gilman (F&SF, September)
This is a story with a very interesting background – indeed, the story seems to exist in large part to allow the ecology and culture of the setting, a waterworld with the rather unconvincing name of Ben, which in the process of being terraformed, to be described. But the story itself is flat and predictable. After an accident, three characters – Okaji, one of the waterworld's inhabitants, her mother, and an uber-obnocious Heinleinian go-getter with the unironic and stunningly hackneyed nickname of "Scrappin' Jack" – are trapped together in one of the living vessels that contribute to the terraforming process. Okaji, and the culture from which she comes, are everything that Jack is not – in his terms, passive and introverted; though they seem actually to function perfectly well on their own terms, even if their habit of referring to each other in the third person grates after a while – and so, unsurprisingly, the two come into conflict. The simplistic nature of their interactions is intensely frustrating, as is the fact that one of the key events in their journey – they discover an undersea alien city, which admittedly is quite spectacular – apparently requires us to believe that the terraforming project was initiated before a thorough survey of the planet was carried out; and the conclusion is, as I said, is predictable. To nobody's surprise, Okaji and Jack gradually iron out their differences and bond, their plight being resolved when Jack has a "Bennish" idea and Okaji admits her urge to explore for exploration's sake. I've rather enjoyed other stories by Gilman, particularly her earlier novella "Candle in a Bottle", so this was a real disappointment.
Niall criticism and reviews, short fiction 6 Comments November 6, 2008 November 7, 2008
I was a little surprised to realise, the other day, that I've been talking about River of Gods for two years now. There are a number of reasons why this is the case: publishing accident (the US edition has only just come out, after all); awards buzz (which I wouldn't be surprised to see continue with a Campbell nomination next year); and, not least, the fact that it's simply a good book worth talking about.
But it also doesn't hurt that Ian McDonald has started publishing stories set in the same future. There have been two to date–"The Little Goddess" last year and "The Djinn's Wife" this year, both novellas, both in Asimov's —with, I gather, a few more to come. I usually resent, or at least am healthily sceptical of, authors returning to the same well too many times—there are very few worlds other than our own that really support multiple stories—but McDonald has, so far, gotten away with it. In part this is because I know there's a new novel, a new world, coming soon, so I know he's unlikely to draw this well dry; and in part, so far, it's simply because he's told more good stories worth talking about.
And he hasn't just recreated the novel. The points of comparison are many, and the fractured future India is recognisable (if less intense: the tipping point has not yet been reached) but these stories can't do what River of Gods did. The writing is as fluid and vibrant as ever, but simply by virtue of the fact that these are individual stories rather than a knot of ten tales bound together, they show less of the world, and are more immediately graspable. And I think McDonald knows this, because he turns it into an advantage: both are told in the first person—one direct, one reported—thus constraining their focus, personalising this future in a way that the novel can't match. At the same time, however, neither story can be fully decoded without a certain familiarity with the bedrock of the novel. Both are clearly picking up ideas that River of Gods touched on, but perhaps didn't explore in as much depth as they could stand; but because one person sees less of the world than ten, there are some things we never find out. This is from the start of "The Djinn's Wife":
I was born in Ladakh, far from the heat of the djinns—they have walls and whims quite alien to humans—but my mother was Delhi born and raised, and from her I knew its circuses and boulevards, its maidans and chowks and bazaars, like those of my own Leh. Delhi to me was a city of stories, and so if I tell the story of the djinn's wife in the manner of a sufi legend or a tale from the Mahabharata, or even a tivi soap opera, that is how it seems to me: City of Djinns.
(Both stories, I feel obliged to say, are blighted by the patronising italics evident in the above quote. There's no reason for them—both narrators are natives—and given the extent to which McDonald mixes up idioms and jargon, as anyone who has read River of Gods will be able to appreciate, such highlighting becomes rapidly annoying, and at times outright absurd.)
The last comparison is the most significant. The Djinn of the title is, as we expect, an aeai, AJ Rao—a diplomat, but also a player in India's prime-time soap opera hit, Town and Country . In River of Gods , that show and all its players turned out to be part of a superintelligent aeai, tools by which that being attempted to understand how humans story their lives. In "The Djinn's Wife" Town and Country is the background, the reflection of the surface tale—but knowing its deeper purpose gives events greater resonance. AJ Rao's marriage to Esha, a dancer, is told in larger-than-life terms at least partly because the narrator (we do learn their identity, at the end of the story) is used to seeing life as large, as soap. So the couple meet; they court; they have the wedding of the season; they are pulled (are driven) apart. They act out the expected stages of their romance for us. How much they have been stage-managed is an open question.
Similarly, the little goddess, a future reincarnation of the Kumari Devi, is drafted to serve as the end of someone else's story. She has, for the early years of her life, no story of her own: no caste, no village, no family, no home; not even, unless I missed it, a name. She is raised to believe that the myth of others is her myth, and when she loses her divinity (on first bleeding) it's a hard fall. She, like Esha, ends up in Delhi, but not as a dancer. Instead she signs on at a marriage market. Men outnumber women four to one in this future: now it's husbands that pay the dowry. But the little goddess turns out to have a disappointingly low market value, until she catches the fancy of a Brahmin, one of the genetically blessed children of this India, a boy-king who lives twice as long as the rest of us, aging half as fast. A new god, we are told, and the irony is not lost. He is gifted with the youth that betrayed the little goddess to her humanity.
It's clear, then, that both "The Djinn's Wife" and "The Little Goddess" are not just limited slices of this future, but are about situations that embody a similar sense of constraint; or, looked at another way, that they are both about cases that test the boundaries of their society. River of Gods featured only one marriage, and that of cold convenience, between the strait-laced Krishna Cop Mr Nandha and his quiet country wife Parvarti. These stories play variations on that theme: in "The Djinn's Wife", we are asked if love can find a way, while in "The Little Goddess" we are asked to consider the fate of those who don't fit the system.
As in the novel, these questions are authentically bedded in Indian culture. The protocols that deal with them already exist (an elderly relative tells Esha that marrying Rao is "like marrying a Muslim, or even a Christian […] not a real person"), but McDonald challenges them with new situations, connecting the human dilemmas of his stories intimately to the changing technologies available. The little goddess, for example, is warned that "the kind of special it takes to be Kumari means you will find it hard in the world", and so it proves. To withstand the trials of being a goddess, she withdraws into herself to the point of becoming autistic, and develops a dissociative disorder that separates her self and her otherness for the sake of her sanity.
Yet "The Little Goddess" turns in the end on the difference between disorder and adaptation ; while for Esha and Rao, who learn to make love in unorthodox fashion, part of what dooms the relationship is a resistance to change. The fate of both progatonists is determined by how far they are willing (or unwilling) to integrate with the aeai that surround them on a daily basis, how far they accept the future that permeates their lives. They are, in that sense, not just variations on Parvarti, but variations on Aj, the driftwood girl at the heart of River of Gods —the girl who was, like Town and Country , a tool for aeais trying to understand humanity.
These stories balance their big brother in one final way: their location. River of Gods took place primarily in Varanasi, the capital of Bharat. In "The Djinn's Wife" and "The Little Goddess" we see events leading up to one of the novel's key events from the other side, the neighbouring state of Awadh. Both stories end in tension, on the brink of a water-war, near or after the day when Awadh signs the USA's Hamilton Acts and outlaws any aeai above a 2.8 (indistinguishable from human 95% of the time; it is the godlike gen-threes, seeking refuge in the data-havens of Bharat, that drive River of Gods ). In doing so they make Esha's husband an instant rogue and the little goddess an instant fugitive. The world intervenes. We have free will, these stories seem to say, but we don't have free choice. Our stories are part of one story: we are all tributaries. We flow together, our fates bound up in the current.

In this way I'm not entirely unsympathetic to the Mundane Manifesto: I just feel that it is incapable of producing 'better' science fiction. It will not reinvigorate the genre. Science fiction is an imaginative literature, not a realist one. Much of its strength and power lies in its ability to mythologise – the Manifesto condemns as stupidities many of the genre's most powerful myths: the alien, time-travel, the artificial intelligence made in our own image.
But before you go and read everyone else's manifestos, we thought we should set out our own. After all, although you may recognise our names from the reviews sections of this magazine and Matrix, we're still relative newcomers to the BSFA, and we're only just joining the Vector editorial team with this issue, following in the illustrious footsteps of Andrew M. Butler, under whose guidance Vector was the sort of magazine we discovered we wanted to read – and edit.
Niall Harrison & Geneva Melzack
Moorcock also had a theory about the uses of prose itself, too complex to go too deeply into here or even in his introduction to the anthology. Briefly, rather than being confined to 'transparent' narration of the surface phenomenology of the story, the prose line could skip allusively along its surface or swim in the iconographic and archetypal imagery beneath it, rather in the manner of poetry. Which perhaps was why the magazine paid serious attention to serious poetry, too.

Reading 'Amnesty' recalls for me every traumatic and wonderful Butler book I've read, and reminds me, again, of how much reading Butler has changed my view of my world and my place in it. What changed me was Butler forcing me to root for characters who didn't stand up for their rights (because it would have gotten them killed) but rather compromised out of necessity. She forced me to look at myself, at my often silly insistence upon abstract rights in the face of daily, unbearable, soul-destroying compromise. Would I be able to be a slave? Could I do what was necessary to save not only myself but my entire community? What would I do in a situation in which I had no good choices?

A: Логика должна быть такой:
Есть битмап.
При необходимости дорисовать в него что-то дорисовываем, вызываем Refresh или Repaint PaintBox-a.
В обработчике OnPaint PaintBox-a отображаем битмап с помощью Draw и больше ничего не делаем. Поэтому вторая строка здесь лишняя:
procedure TForm1.picPaint(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Pic.Canvas.Draw (0, 0, bmp);
  pic.Repaint;

end;
Никогда и ни при каких условиях не рисуем на Canvas PaintBox-a напрямую в других методах.
Для реализации отрисовки резинового прямоугольника - в MouseDown запоминаем координаты и всё. В MouseMove при нажатой кнопке получаем координаты второго угла, запоминаем их, перерисовываем битмап (с очисткой), вызываем обновление Paintbox.

Architecture > Offbeat
Inverted Art House Designed Upside-Down
By Dornob Staff
Upside-down homes and houses as art installations or even strange-but-livable spaces are nothing new, but these builders went out of their way to make sure theirs would stand out from the crowd – most notably by installing every furniture, furnishing and fixture object, element and device they could think of to make the work complete on the interior as well as the exterior.
From carefully attached couches and suspended sofa cushions to hung floor lamps, inverted sinks and ceiling toilets, absolutely every possible element one would want in a dream home is present in this weird house – it is simple the wrong way around.
Ultimately, the experience resulting from the hard work of Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk is one of dizzy disorientation, vertigo as you pass through rooms with no right-side-up frame of reference to help you regain your balance.
From Atlas Obscura:
"The topsy-turvy designers behind the odd abode were the Polish architects Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk, who built it as part of a project called Die Welt Steht Kopf ("The World Upside Down"), the aim of which was to give visitors a different view of everyday things."
"Upon its completion, the dwelling gained the great honor of becoming the first upside-down house built in Germany. It has since been joined by the Haus-Kopf-über ("Upside-Down House" in English) on the nearby island of Rügen, built in 2010. The Trassenheide residence wasn't, however, the first upside-down house to be built in Europe. The owner if that title is open to debate, but the Upside-Down House in Szymbark, Poland, was built one year before its German namesake."
"Unlike the Upside-Down House in Szymbark, which was built partly as a statement about the uncertainty of life in post-Communist Poland, the Upside-Down House in Trassenheide was designed primarily with tourism in mind. But both possess the undeniable ability to absolutely delight Instagram-obsessed tourists. "


It's one of those nights when you're home late, you need dinner in a hurry, and you're starting to think about take-out.
Stop! In less time than it will take for your order to arrive, you can have this delicious stir fry finished.
It includes savory salmon, with plenty of healthy omega-3 fats, plus a mix of crisp-tender veggies that are just as full of flavor. You can serve your stir fry with shirataki noodles for added fiber, if you like.
This delicious mix of savory Asian salmon and crisp-tender veggies is full of flavor and naturally detoxifying superfoods. It comes together in just 15 minutes.
3Brush the bottom of a 9"-square glass baking dish with sesame oil.
4Place salmon fillets in dish about 2 inches apart, skin side down.
5Whisk together soy sauce or coconut aminos, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and pepper, and spoon evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
6Bake at 425F for 12-14 minutes, until fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
8Heat 1 Tbsp of sesame oil in large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
9Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, 30-60 seconds.
10Add all the vegetables and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5-6 minutes.
11In a small bowl, whisk together bone broth, soy sauce or coconut aminos, arrowroot powder or potato starch, and black pepper.
12Pour into veggies while stirring and cook 1-2 minutes more, until sauce is thickened and veggies are glazed.
13Remove skin from salmon and serve with stir fry.

An Eye on Despots
Images of camps and destroyed settlements bolster abuse reports.
David Talbotarchive page
Credit: GeoEye (Before image, left); DigitalGlobe (after image, right)
These "before" and "after" satellite images–ordered and analyzed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science–show the expansion of a military encampment in eastern Burma between November 11, 2000 (left), and December 13, 2006 (right); such camps support military crackdowns. The images corroborated reports from a human-rights group.
The image pairing was one of several successes for the association's project on geospatial technologies and human rights, which in recent years has helped document hundreds of human-rights violations by comparing field notes with satellite images. Among other things, the project documented the existence of forced-relocation camps where 23,700 people were said to be living, as well as the expansion of refugee camps in Thailand near the Burmese border, to which victims are fleeing.
Lars Bromley
A satellite sleuth explains how images illuminate abuses
TR: How easy is it to get satellite pictures in the area you need?
Lars Bromley: Sometimes you get lucky, and a lot of times you don't. When the protests in Burma started [in October 2007], we submitted requests for imagery right away, because we wanted to see the military response. But by the time we got the imagery, everything was done.
TR: Where are you getting these images?
LB: Right now, there are only three satellites in orbit I can draw from, owned by DigitalGlobe, Geoeye, and ImageSat International. I can get two–four at most–images from a given location within a couple of weeks. And they don't do everything I tell them. The amount of imagery I'm buying–it's chump change.
TR: What does the future hold for this kind of watchdog work?
LB: There are at least two new satellites that should be operational by March or so. They can collect more images than current ones, and they have higher resolution. The best current commercial resolution is 60 centimeters. The new satellites will have a resolution of 50 centimeters. And we really do find that even a 5- or 10-centimeter improvement is significant.
We are starting to get to the point where we have some sort of actual observation system. No matter where or when something happens in the world, we can more quickly get multiple images.

It's been awhile since we've done an episode of "Flight School," and there was no better place to start that up again than at Texas Ale Project in Dallas, TX. As you might know, Texas is HOT, and the beers that Texas Ale Project is brewing are the perfect answer to the Texas heat. With plenty of German-influenced beers or just a good brew with a clean finish, this flavorful flight made for a great reintroduction to Texas beer.
In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Derrick "Moose" Rima, the Lead Brewer at Texas Ale Project, and quite frankly just a great guy to have a drink with. Moose first discovered his love for beer while serving in the military over in Germany. His stories give us an understanding of the Dallas craft beer community, and some of his own unconventional methods of staying hydrated while drinking.
Located just about a mile from downtown Dallas, TX in the Arts District (or as the brewers like to call it, the "Brewing District"), Texas Ale Project is the first pre-prohibition brewery in the United States to be built from the ground up. The sleek new brewery has a great view of downtown Dallas, with a modern taproom serving up clean-finishing beers that pay homage to Texas culture.
The sleek, modern brewhouse at T.A.P.
At Texas Ale Project (T.A.P.), they use a step mashing process to create the small chain sugars that allows beers to finish drier and cleaner. Most of the beers' names here are a nod to the state of Texas, including the Fire Ant Funeral, 50 Foot Jackrabbit, and the 100 Million Angels Singing (dedicated to The Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash).
The brewery is located in the Dallas Arts District, an area that used to be home to the "ladies of the night" but is now full of art galleries, antique stores, boutiques, and of course, breweries and restaurants.
Derrick got his nickname "Moose" while playing rugby during his time serving in Germany, a name inspired by Dallas Cowboys running back Daryl Johnston.
Shoutout to LUCK and their brisket pastrami sandwich, which sounds like the perfect pairing for T.A.P.'s Fire Ant Funeral Amber. Moose loves LUCK's braised beef tongue sandwich, which I'll def need to try next time.
Kat & Brent Thompson founded Texas Ale Project at the end of 2014, and it's the first brewery pre-prohibition to be physically be built from the ground up.
Fayetteville, AR has an Ale Trail!
Being stationed in Germany was what converted Moose from a rum drinker to a beer drinker.
Home brewing eventually turned into a career for Moose, and it's pushed his creativity. He started a 1-barrel pilot program at T.A.P. that keeps patrons coming in on a weekly basis to try Texas Ale Project's latest beer.
Moose teaches all of us the value of getting your exercise in the middle of any bar crawl, as he used to sprint from bar-to-bar in Germany and chug some water in the process.
Fire Ant Funeral – An ale with 7 different specialty malts while maintaining a dry character. Although it's not a lager, the maltiness makes it similar to an Oktoberfest with hints of caramel and chocolate. Crystal 40L, Crystal 80L, Munich, and Vienna are just a few of the malts in the lineup that give it its flavor. Oh, and if you're not familiar with Texas, fire ants are rampant there. The perfect name for a beer in my opinion, and it also pairs great with BBQ.
100 Million Angels Singing – Inspired by Johnny Cash, this is a surprising crushable double IPA…so drink with caution!
The Caucasian – A nod to the film "The Big Lebowski," this White Russian Imperial Stout is a beer take on the classic cocktail. There recent small 6-barrel batch contained $1,200 worth of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, and 45 gallons of cold-brew coffee from Full City Rooster. Much as I would consider "The Big Lebowski" one of the greatest movies ever, I would say that Texas Ale Project's "Caucasian" is one of the greatest beers ever.
Four Corners Brewing – This brewery is right down the way in the Arts District, and was one of the spots where Derrick got his start and discovered his love for brewing. This neighborhood place was founded by 3 friends with a bit of beer knowledge, but more importantly an understanding of the value of neighborhood fellowship. Despite that last statement, please know that their beers are also awesome.
BrainDead Brewing – Dave here runs a great kitchen, while Andrew is quite the brewer. They've also got a prime location in the Deep Ellum neighborhood, a hip spot for Dallas nightlife.
Noble Rey Brewing – As Moose says, a fun group of guys run this place, and the brewery has a cool little bar area / brewpub.
Peticolas Brewing – A fan-favorite in Dallas, they've won awards at the Great American Beer Festival, and have a unique, futbol club-style logo.
Community Brewing – Another brewery not too far from Texas Ale Project, their Mosaic IPA has earned its spot as an award-winner too.
Deep Ellum Brewing – If you've heard for Dallas craft beer, you've heard of Deep Ellum Brewing. It's a Texas staple.
Dallas Brew Bus – A great resource from the Dallas Brew Scene that runs curated shuttle tours to the breweries around the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
As always, the brewery is probably the best place to find Derrick, but in order to keep up with Texas Ale Project, give them a follow on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Visit the Texas Ale Project…now! Before they run out of The Caucasian!
Texas Ale Project is located at 1001 N Riverfront Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207. Taproom hours are Thursday & Friday 5pm to 9pm, and Saturday from 1pm to 9pm.

Franschhoek's Huguenot Street eating has another option since Ryan's Kitchen opened at Rusthof Country House. Chef Ryan Smith and Russian wife Svetlana serve lunch and dinner in the small dining space, and summer should see lunches and even tea and scones on the lovely lawns.
A small open kitchen and limited tables means diners are within chatting range of the chef, making the dining experience intimate. Smith boasts an impressive resume of big-name hotel stints. I found the style too contrived when he was responsible for menus at Mange Tout fine dining restaurant at Mont Rochelle Hotel, but at Ryan's Kitchen his delight in preparing food on a small scale shows on the plate. Dinner starters and desserts I tried were particularly creative, which might explain their price tags (R65 - R75 for most starters; R95 – R115 for mains; R50 to R55 for desserts).
I've been told lunch options are a little simpler; my only experience is of dinner. Smith's innovative style is visual yet playfully tasty – ingredients receive a contemporary make over and nostalgic South African foods are incorporated at times. But don't make the mistake of expecting traditional country interpretations. Dishes such as ostrich bobotie have a twist – in fact you often see Smith using his blowtorch for finishing touches.
A frequently-changing menu always has a vegetarian option, and could feature peri-peri duck liver parfait with winter melon jelly, salted caramel and bitter chocolate spray, or seared smoked trout masala with prawn bell pepper and chorizo emulsion. There's vacuum-poached fish with smoked potato puree, streaky bacon and winter greens, followed by naartjie panna cotta partnered with citrus salad and oatmeal crunchies, or Milo melktert with clove ice-cream and popping chocolate.
And if you don't fancy the return drive, the restaurant's location inside Rusthof Country House could provide a lazy excuse to negotiate a room from owner Ruth McCourt.
