'We must not destroy freedom of Press' –Totnes MP Sarah Wollaston
A Westcountry Conservative MP has said David Cameron is right to be "wary" of legislation to underpin a new press watchdog, warning that the move risks "threatening free speech and democracy".
Totnes MP Sarah Wollaston is the region's most vocal parliamentary opponent to Lord Justice Leveson's proposals for independent self-regulation of the Press.
Writing for the Western Morning News, in a piece to appear on Monday on the day of a House of Commons debate on the Leveson report, Dr Wollaston argues that it becomes "all too easy" for the Government to restrict press reporting once the regulator is written into law.
She said: "It is right that we should be wary. Any compulsion to join a regulator would amount to state regulation, threatening free speech and democracy and that would be a high price to pay."

David Cameron voiced "serious concerns and misgivings" about legislative action in the immediate aftermath of the report's publication on Thursday.
While Justice Leveson condemned the "culture of reckless and outrageous journalism" that dominated sections of the national press, the Prime Minister said the industry should be given "a limited period of time" to show it could get its house in order.
The comments put him on collision course with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband, and drew criticism from victims of the phone hacking scandal and press intrusion. A new watchdog would be given the power to require prominent apologies and impose fines.
Regional newspapers make a contribution to their communities that is "truly without parallel", Justice Leveson said, arguing that the criticisms should not be applied to local print journalists.
Mr Cameron's caution has won support from Dr Wollaston, who was elected in 2010. She writes: "Cameron is right not to rush to accept Leveson, however reassuring and wise he may appear. We need a full debate about the wider implications.
"The British Press may have enjoyed the longest pub crawl in history through last chance saloons but they have also protected our freedoms, entertained and informed us.
"If they are over-regulated we will simply drive more people to seek their scandals from online sources with almost no accountability at all. If newspapers become irrelevant who will buy them at all?"
Dr Wollaston, a former GP on Dartmoor, is critical of "disturbing practices" within the industry and "cultural attitudes amongst certain editors" that allowed illegal activity to take place. She also believes the principles behind the proposals are "sensible".
But she writes: "Leveson's most controversial recommendation is for legislation to recognise the new self-regulatory body. The question is whether this represents statutory regulation of the Press.
"Once that is written into law it is all too easy for the lines to be re-drawn to regulate what the Press can or cannot say or to exclude those whose views are unsympathetic to the Government of the day.
"Whilst Leveson explicitly states that he does not feel this would be the case and also suggests that we could legislate for the independence of the Press, it should concern us that once a line has been crossed to 'underpin' the regulator in law, it may result in a press that is directed or restricted."
Culture Secretary Maria Miller yesterday insisted the "principles" of Justice Leveson's blueprint can be met without giving it statutory backing.
But Gerry McCann, father of missing Madeleine McCann, said legal backing for any new system was the "minimum acceptable compromise for me and for many other victims".

We're very excited about this! More to come! :)
We're thrilled to premiere Charlene Kaye's latest video off her Animal Love album, "Forever Is A Long Time." We got some insight from Miss Kaye herself about the style and motivation behind the video treatment.
"I wanted do a ballsy rock video, something that would really capture the chaos and panic of the song," Kaye explained. "Liam got a bunch of public access footage and projected it over us, and if you look closely you can see that there are two narratives going on- one of the past, and of the present, which is something I think is really beautiful and relevant to the song. The shots range from bombs raining down during WWII to old circus acts in the 1920s to the Hindenberg exploding, so there's no lack of things to look at!"
We know we shouldn't be amazed by Pink's dancing in her new video "Try" (the woman can sing and do aerial water acrobatics at the same time!) but we're still in awe.
How excited are you for "Numb," the new Usher video? We've got a 30 second sneak for the premiere, coming Thursday on VH1.com.

Miami Hotel Empties Its Kitchen For Downtown Heat Parade
This is the Stradivarius of pots and pans, an entire orchestra of them.
The InterContinental Miami temporarily pulled the culinary accoutrements from its executive kitchen to help celebrate the Miami Heat's 2012-2013 NBA Championship.
As the Miami Heat rounded the homestretch of today's parade, InterContinental staff and guests took to a small stage along the parade's route to smash ladles against soup pots and smack spoons against baking pans.
The cacophonous pots and pans celebration has become synonymous with sporting success in South Florida. The Sun Sentinel and WSVN have both taken stabs at explaining the tradition, each ultimately pointing towards Latin American political demonstrations as the potential source.
Now pots and pans are being embraced as a mainstream Miami tradition, as evidenced by the InterContinental's "pots and pans private party" (yes, there was a velvet rope around the stage).
The hotel is a short walk south of American Airlines Arena and was tough to miss during this year's playoffs. Thanks to a $30-million upgrade, the InterContinel now functions as a giant LED television screen. Hardly a Goodyear blimp shot passed without showing a pro-Heat message scrolling across the hotel.
More than three dozen of the executive kitchen's pots and pans, ladles and spoons were parade-side today. Robert Hill, general manager of the InterContinental Miami, said his executive chef had no problem temporarily loaning his gear.
"He helped set everything up and get ready for this morning," said Hill, "he's a big Heat fan as well. It was easy to convince him to do this for the Heat."
Hill said he practiced on a few pans to find his favorite: a 20" frying pan that he called "not for the faint hearted."
As for beating up some rather expensive kitchenware, Hill said, "these pots and pans are pretty heavy duty stuff... they (would take a) good amount of beating to put any dents in them."

Overview Presentation
Time-tracking can be tricky: you have employees, contractors, billable hours, time off, overtime, and in our globalized economy, international currencies and overtime rules. To be truly a time- and money-saver, Web-based time-tracking systems need to be up to par AND plug in to your accounting software at the office.
Replicon has got it all: clean user interface, highly flexible and customizable parameters, killer reports and that indispensable integration with Quickbooks and Microsoft Project. We especially liked the sophisticated overtime rules, pivot reports, customization process and the ProMax module.
Robust Timesheet Management
How easy a system is to get running is a very important parameter to the system administrator: if one has to spend hours and hours making it work, the cost of the manpower alone can offset the benefits to using a web-based system. With Replicon, account configuration is very simple, done through a series of forms that are very easy to fill out: no cryptic language here! You can define employee types and time sheets – for example, a contractor may bill his or her hours monthly, while regular employees fill out their time sheets every week. Hence a Replicon is very flexible in how each user's salary, overtime and holiday allocations are defined.
We especially appreciated the international holiday and currency features; so Canadian contractors have their Canadian holidays accounted for, while personnel in the United Stated have theirs.
We found the overtime rules to be on the same level, where system administrators can setup very sophisticated rules for overtime, along with the wage factor, so a person's true cost on a project is computed, taking into account daily hours, weekly hours and even the number of consecutive days worked.
Impressive Reporting Capabilities
- All forms in Replicon can be customized to include extra fields to suit each organization's data sets.
- Reports in Replicon are impressive: from pivot reports where data is represented in a convenient graphic, to regular reports on pretty much and system parameter, project managers know what is going on with the project's finances.
- The ProMax module, and add-on to Replicon, is an impressive productivity-analysis tool. Reports in ProMax let you single out profitable projects easily, based on your defined goals. It is definitely worth a try!
- Of course, from the user point of view, the experience is just as painless: simply log in, enter your hours and expenses, and then log out. This level of effectiveness is the perfect way to ensure the system will not only be used, but also liked by its users.
The Bottom Line
Overall, Replicon is a highly effective and customizable, yet surprisingly user-friendly time and expense tracking system.

These boots are made for electricity
MIT students James Graham and Thaddeus Jusczyk won first place with the "Crowd Farm," a proposal to produce electricity through stomping feet at the Holcim Foundation Sustainable Construction competition in Japan.
The idea is that the floor would contain a sub-floor made up of several blocks that would slightly depress when someone stepped on it. The slippage of the blocks against one another as people walked would then generate power through the principle of the dynamo, a device that converts the motion energy into that of an electric current.

13 Things Your Grocer Won't Tell You
Get smarter about grocery shopping. These tips could change your family eating habits.
By Adam Bluestein and Lauren Gniazdowski from Reader's DigestYour Comments
Whoever put this list together might want to know that I'm not reaching back inside the case to get the freshest milk; I'm doing it to get the coldest milk. The milk sitting at the front usually isn't more than a few hours older, but it has been exposed to room temperature more frequently than the ones sitting behind it. That way maybe it will hopefully stay cold for a little longer while I finish my shopping. Whether my logic is correct or not, I don't know, but this is why I do it.
Grocery biz
Please do not talk down to me because I "work in a grocery store". I sweep, mop, stock, cashier , clean restrooms and I am management and I make almost $100k a year… I went to college and I work for the store over 20 yrs so I have earned my position and its a good job and I make more than alot of other professions so please give my job the respect you would give a doctor, lawyer or teacher
Baby formula is usually locked up because otherwise it is impossible to prevent theft. The negative publicity that would befall a store that tried to prosecute somebody for stealing "to feed their baby" (true or not) would be horrible. Remember the store last year that got a load of crap for busting a pregnant woman for eating a sandwich and not paying. Multiply that by 100.
Stockers spend a lot of time rotating stock meaning putting the newest in back. The grocery stores do this because if they didn't they would end throwing out ~30% of perishables or having to wait to put them out which would increase time demands by 20~30%. Either way, if you don't take the one in front you're increasing the price and wasting food on the product. So although you can do it, but it's still unethical and selfish.

America's Leading Gay News Source
Colombia marriage deadline approaches
Even though same-sex couples in Colombia will be able to legally register their relationships on Friday, it remains unclear whether some notaries and even judges will allow them to do so.
The country's Constitutional Court in 2011 ruled gays and lesbians can legally register their relationships after June 20 if lawmakers failed to extend to them the same benefits heterosexuals receive through marriage. The Colombian Senate in April overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have allowed same-sex couples to tie the knot in the South American country.
Marcela Sánchez Buitrago, executive director of Colombia Diversa, an LGBT advocacy group, told the Washington Blade on Monday that some notaries have already said they will not marry same-sex couples after the court's deadline passes. They would instead allow them to enter into a "solemn contract" that is similar to an agreement between two people who buy a house together.
"This in the view of Colombia Diversa does not comply with the Constitutional Court's order," Sánchez said.
Colombia Diversa and other LGBT advocacy groups are advising couples who encounter a notary or a judge who refuses to allow them to register their relationships–or enter into a civil marriage as Sánchez and other activists have described it–to petition a court to reverse the decision. Lina Cuéllar, director of Sentiido, an LGBT website she co-publishes in Bogotá, the country's capital, told the Blade she expects some notaries and judges will accommodate gays and lesbians in the same way they treat heterosexual couples.
She said they will follow the court's order, but it remains unclear how exactly they will interpret it.
"It is difficult to state concretely what is going to happen after June 20," Cuéllar told the Blade.
Argentina is among the 12 countries in which same-sex couples can legally marry.
Gays and lesbians will be able to tie the knot in Uruguay and New Zealand in August.
Brazilian lawmakers have yet to consider a nationwide same-sex marriage bill in spite of a ruling from the country's National Council of Justice last month that said registrars in the South American nation cannot deny marriage licenses to gay couples.
The U.S. Supreme Court later this month will issue rulings on the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.
Advocates remain critical of government's response to marriage debate
Dr. Zayuri Tibaduiza, an advisor to Vice President Angelino Garzón, told the Blade during an interview last month at her Bogotá office the Colombian government respects both the Constitutional Court's ruling and the Senate's vote against the same-sex marriage bill. Advocates remain critical of President Juan Manuel Santos' administration for what they maintain is its continued silence on the issue.
"There is a general discontent on how the government managed the situation, since they could have legislated on this topic," Cuéllar said. "They instead waited until the Constitutional Court's deadline when nothing could have been done."
Even though she said one can describe the tribunal's ruling as "ambiguous," Sánchez told the Blade it did not explicitly deny same-sex couples the right to marry.
"As of June 20, we are going to put this interpretation to the test," she said. "We hope it will hold up because it is the one that recognizes equality for couples."
Laura, a transgender woman who works at the Sebastián Romero LGBT Community Center in the Teusaquillo area of Bogotá that is named in honor of the first openly gay person elected to political office in Colombia told the Blade last month many people have what she described as a "limited understanding" of the same-sex marriage debate.
She noted during the same interview that anti-trans discrimination, homelessness and general mistreatment of LGBT people on the streets are among the problems that she and her colleagues continue to confront.
A report that Colombia Diversa released last month indicates 58 of the reported 280 LGBT Colombians who were murdered between 2011-2012 were killed because of their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. The Latin American and Caribbean Network of Transgender Women (REDLACTRANS) noted in a separate report that 61 Colombian trans women have been reported murdered between 2005-2011.
"There are those who are definitely not interested in the (same-sex marriage campaign,) but simply want to gain their rights," Laura said.
Opposition to same-sex marriage remains strong in Colombia, but Cuéllar said the "equality for all" message that came from the campaign in support of the issue has had a positive effect.
"A lot of allies have joined the cause," Cuéllar said. "This has helped to widen the scope of what equality means in a country like Colombia."

I avoid using LGPL (actually, I avoid GNU licenses altogether).If you use Qt you can buy a commercial license or use the LGPL license (see here). Since I'm not even sure there is a viable Qt 5 build which links statically that seems to be almost a restrictionless license.
The main problem, specially when considering commercial games, is that LGPL also allows the user to use a modified version of the library (free to use). By using the LGPL licensed resource, you accepted this. It opens a wide plain of possibilities for problems. Unofficial, hacked, versions of the library would float around the Internet. Still, if your game is single player, there'll be nothing to worry about. But by the time you decide to make it multiplayer and hacking start to affect the experience of other players, you won't be able to touch cheaters. If they stay inside the library interface, there isn't much you can do. You'll see that the cheaters will probably fall into a penumbra between your TOS and the restrictions imposed by the LGPL, that states clearly:
Now, whether your work is an application or a combined work differs only if you link it statically. So, no static linking or you'll also allow, beyond the usage of modified versions of the library (despite of its purpose), reverse engineering and debugging. In other words, if you use a shared link you've got problems, but if you link statically, they're really worse.3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms [...] you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications [...]
I guess this was one of the main reasons SDL dropped LGPL in favor of zlib. It surely was the main reason I avoided SDL in favor of SFML and Allegro for so long...
Why would the Qt Project provide a commercial license? If LGPL was really a good license, there'd be no reason for them to provide a better one.
Just to make sure I'm not confusing anyone, this wouldn't apply to applications that were created using the QtCreator IDE, given that you only used the IDE. It only affects things that needs libraries or actual code from the Qt Project.

I have a SQL Server table of products, and each product has a description that is publicly available on our website. I want to prevent, or at least warn our users when, a description is too similar to another product's description. Each product's description length can greatly vary.
I'd like query for products with descriptions that include duplicate/similar paragraphs/blocks of text between one another. i.e. String A has a bunch of unique content, but shares a similar/identical paragraph w/ string B. However, I'm not sure which similarity algorithm is best to use:
The Levenshtein distance and Jaro-Winler distance algorithms appear to only work well with short strings.
I'm not sure the longest common subsequence algorithm takes into account large differences very well. i.e. it appears to ignore potential space between two characters, finding any similar combination sequence.
Fuzzy hashing sort of sounds what I'm looking for, but I'm not just looking for duplicate content w/ subtle differences. I'm also looking for duplicate content w/ subtle differences injected within a unique block of text. And I'd have no idea how to implement fuzzy hashes in SQL. SOUNDEX() and DIFFERENCE() appear to use fuzzy hashing, but are quite imprecise for my use case.
Ideally the similarity SQL function would be fast, but I could store cached similarity values in another table and schedule a job to occasionally update.
What is the best algorithm/SQL (or CLR integration) implementation to accomplish this?

Thanks for the advice. I just checked on hotbot and for my third keyword(s), (well big widgets), I am 1st! Now, I'm not sure how that happened, in fact I'm really not sure how position is done. Either by keywords which I have, or inward links, (which I have two. Stop laughing people! ;) )
So, I'm not paying ink for inclusion, somehow they found me. Can someone explain some of this to me?

Product Type: Jean Paul Gaultier Shaving & Grooming

The man smells good!!!
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Aftershave
Member Name: Lools_24
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Aftershave
Date: 01/04/09, updated on 03/10/12 (234 review reads)
Advantages: Scent is unique and recognisable. Very fresh and very clean smelling
Disadvantages: If you spray too much on it will be an overpowering scent
Mr Lools has been accosted again in my pursuit to review all of his fragrances for the good of all dooyooers. This time he had just come out of the shower and was sat watching Come Dine With Me. With having clean skin I thought this was the perfect moment to spray, smell and then review.
Before I go into the product details I must point out that Mr Lools actually bought Le Male as an impulse purchase when walking around Boots about a year ago. Venturing into Boots alone is unusual for him in itself as he usually would ask me to get him what he needed or tag along onto one of my shopping trips. Secondly Mr Lools does not make impulse purchases. I am the shopper in our house and he frowns upon my shopping habits or when I defend my impulse purchases as "a treat" or "I just fancied something new". All I can say is he must have REALLY liked this fragrance to break his own rules!!
The outer packaging of the fragrance is the same as the JPG female Classique perfume; A shiny metal tin. In embossed writing Jean Paul Gaultier is written and underneath Le Male is written. The top of the tin pulls off and the base of the outer tin has a stand for the bottle to fit upright in.
The bottle is in the shape of a male torso. The torso has broad shoulders and toned looking body. The bottle is a semi opaque turquoise/ blue colour. Across the chest of the bottle is some lighter blue/ white horizontal stripes; which make the figure look like it is wearing a stripy vest. The liquid inside the bottle is visible. The theme is very nautical and in my opinion looks like a sailor type outfit. Although very masculine in shape the whole nautical theme is quite tongue in cheek and suggestively camp. Mr Lools disagrees with this however.
The RRP for 125ml of this is £45.00. Mr Lools purchased 125ml in Boots for £40.00. The fragrance is also available in a 75ml bottle for £32.00. Prices vary between retailers but I have spotted a 125ml bottle available online from directcosmetics.com for £28.99 which does seem very reasonable. The price of the item does seem quite expensive however the scent is quite strong so because you do not need to spray a lot of the fragrance on the skin, it means the bottle does last a long time and better value for money than a cheaper but weaker scent.
The official description of the scent is:
"This fine fragrance for men has notes of Mint, Artemisia, Cardamom, Bergamot, Lavender, Orange Blossom, Cinnamon, Cumin, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Cedar, Amber and Tonka Bean."
I was very impressed by Mr Lools' impulse purchase the scent of this fragrance is amazing. The whole nautical theme runs to the scent not just the bottle, there is such freshness to this scent which I feel comes from the notes of mint. This is not like a toothpaste type smell though it's a lot more subtle and minty and made sweet by the mix of cinnamon and vanilla scents. The overall scent is a fresh spicy slightly woody scent which I feel it is clear there are essences of sandalwood and cardamom.
When the fragrance is initially sprayed the scent is very strong and at first appears to be slightly overpowering and very spicy. This strong scent dies down however the scent can be smelt all day, and does not re applying. It is very easy to spray too much of this scent on which could mean it is too overpowering and spoil just how nice the scent of this fragrance is.
The scent is very unique and if you walk past anyone who is wearing this scent can very easily be identified as Le Male due to its spicy, yet fresh slightly woody scent.
This fragrance is totally unique in its scent. Its very fresh and clean smelling, with a spicy and woody twist. When I smell this scent walking past a guy wearing it, it gives a very clean scent. It's suitable for men of all ages. The packaging looks great and although it is slightly above average in cost it is a good investment as the bottle lasts a long time. An absolutely fantastic fragrance just don't be tempted to spray too much on!
Summary: A gorgeous fresh, spicy classic male scent, suitable for males of all ages.

HTC Merge Available from Verizon's Retail Partners
May 13, 2011, 8:15 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Verizon Wireless told Phone Scoop today that the HTC Merge is available for use on its network. Verizon spokesperson Brenda Raney explained via email, "The HTC Merge was approved for use on the Verizon Wireless network and is being sold by third party distributors, but not in Verizon Wireless stores." The Merge was approved by the FCC earlier this year, and Phone Scoop spent some time with it at the CTIA Wireless trade show in March. It is a sideways slider Android phone with QWERTY keyboard and HTC's Sense user interface. It is a world phone, capable of using Verizon's network in the U.S., and the GSM networks of overseas carriers. It is also being sold by Alltel and Cellular South. Verizon didn't indicate which retailers are selling the Verizon-compatible Merge, nor how much it costs.

11.2 ounce bottle from Ireland served in a snifter. As almost anyone reading this already knows, this is a near black brew with a towering, creamy, beige-hued head with very good retention and attractive lacing.
Smell: Sweet caramel and dark roasted barley nose with hops, mild alcohol esters and a hint of coffee.
Taste: Richer than I remember, this has a load of dark, roasted barley with a bit of dark fruit and toffee, a hint of coffee, and a touch of smokey molasses. Eventually, some earthy/herbal hops join in, making for a good sweet/bitter balance.
Mouthfeel: Medium+ body; medium-light carbonation; nicely soft and creamy
O: It's been at least a few years since I've had this, having had a good number of fine stouts from around the world in the meantime. I was pleasantly surprised: this certainly exceeded my expectations. Surprisingly satisfying and flavorful given the standard/common Guinness.

Pours a dark black with a super creamy brown head. Aromas of roasted coffee. Taste begins with a bit of molassas, then some pumpernickle bread, then some smooth chocolate and earthy bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is a little light. Overall a very nice beer. Easily the best offering Guinness has.

Grabbed a bottle at the Apothecary alehouse the other evening.
The beer pours the expected blackish brown color with good head retention and decent lacing. The is attractive as well, as I pick up light licorice, malt, vanilla, some light cherry and a hint of coffee and dark chocolate. The nose is fairly complex, and there's something of an "old ale" aroma to this beer that is nice. The flavor profile replicates the nose in this fairly dry stout. There's something of a light bitter, burnt toast finish to this beer, which keeps things interesting. Mouthfeel is medium bodied at most and is a bit thin. I thought this beer had more of porter quality to it than I was expecting, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Alcohol is well integrated into the flavor profile, and if I had to guess, I would not have thought the abv. was this high.
An interesting beer, though I guess I was expecting a bit more from it. Frankly, given a choice, I think I prefer the lower alcohol draft version of this beer. Nevertheless, I'm glad I had a chance to try it.

Had this the first time this week. What I would expect from Guinness.
Poured this into a pint glass. Nice dark brown/black color with no light allowed through from the near by lamp. Decent half inch tan colored head.
Smelled like a stout, malty and rich, deeper than most, including Guinness Draught.
Taste, again like a stout, but better. The coffee and chocolate tones seemed clearer and your average stout.
Mouthfeel was a little lacking. Felt a bit thin, didn't quite have the "liquid bread" quality that you'd expect.
Overall I enjoyed it a lot and will probably be buying a 6 pack soon.

Happy St. Patty's!
Freshness Date: None
A: Thick blackness topped off with a fluffy light brown head which leaves sheets of lace on the glass.
S: Moderate bourbon along with toasted grain and bread. Plums and raisin along with caramel, brown sugar sweetness and earthy bitterness, which comes through intermittently.
T: Charred bread and grain, cocoa nibs, plum and raisin dark fruit presence. Caramel and brown sugar bring sweetness to the middle which fades to an earthy, leafy bitterness and warming bourbon alcohol finish.
M: Creamy smooth with a big mouth feel and decent carbonation.
O: A classic Irish Stout with wonderful dark characteristics and smoothness. Happy to take this brew in on St. Patrick's. Hope everyone is staying safe out there.

look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Pitch black in color with a big head of khaki foam. Retention and lacing are excellent, making this perhaps the best looking stout I've yet seen. Aroma of roasted malt, licorice, and molasses. Earthy, herbal hop note.
Bittersweet on the palate. Definitely more aggressively hopped than Draught or Extra, with a prominent bitterness that picks up toward the finish. Slightly smokey with a molasses flavor that picks up as the beer warms. Mouthfeel is rich and somewhat creamy - more heft than its Guinness siblings, though not as silky smooth as Draught.
With a much more bold flavor than Guinness Extra and the smoothness of Guinness Draught, this is the beer-lover's Guinness.

From 7/11, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. BB 2012, but I'll take it :-)
Can't really add to so many reviews, but pours thick n black, head is two fingers easily. Clumpy/spotty lace. Aromas full and intense roasts to the fore, vanilla and coffee. Robust taste, roast driven. Medium weight overall and really - really - smooth. Overall beer presence in glass belies moderate ABV. End of beer experience? Roast City...

Poured into a pint glass, developed a tan head which lasted well beyond, as would be expected from Guinness, and laced exceptionally. Appearance was black, of Guinness. Aroma was strong of coffee and malt and hop. Perhaps a hint of chocolate. Taste was coffee and dry hop. Mouthfeel was full and a bit carbonated. Aftertaste was super dry.

"Foreign Extra Stout is brewed with generous hops and roasted barley for a bittersweet balance and full-flavored, natural bite. Developed for global export from Ireland, the addition of extra hops ensured this Stout would arrive in perfect condition. Today, it is enjoyed by millions around the world." Brewed in the style of a Foreign/Export Stout. Available in 4 packs or as part of the Guinness Winter Variety Pack. No bottle date.
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle to a pint glass. Served north of 49º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Pours a robust medium brown head, very foamy with very high staying power. Body color is near pitch black, solid and with no visible carbonation. Lacing is thick and consistent with staying power of its own. Visually, it is far more impressive than Guinness's more commonly available offerings, the head quality and body color is superb in this stout, and visually it's up there with some of the most sought-after imperial stouts. 4.5
(Smell) A robust yet simple aroma. Bready roasted barley malts, creamy caramel candy, a stick of licorice and molasses. It's a bit more herbal than most stouts and there's a definite dark candy pep to it, the licorice is very notable as it warms. Potency is above medium and the balance is pleasant. I really enjoy the aroma of this beer. 4.25
(Taste) Bready caramel and dry chocolate malts follow through to an herbal hop finish with a touch of licorice spiciness. Semi-thick syrup with an imbalance in favor of sweetness with a moist finish. The balance is great and the drinkability is superb despite having a high sweetness. A fantastic flavor that is night and day in terms of flavor from their standard draught. 4.25
(Mouthfeel) A mild stickiness. Mild carbonation, a touch of creaminess and some spice create a general pleasing balance. The body is medium+ for the style and the body is just shy of heavy overall. Alcohol presence is mild, well concealed by the substance in this beer. I can't pick too hard on this beer although I think that a little more creaminess or crispness could do the texture some good, it is overall enjoyable. 3.75
(Overall) You don't have to travel the world or even wait in line for a wristband to get one of the world's most enjoyable stouts. Sometimes it's available even in your grocery store. I have very few gripes with this beer as the balance is great and the flavor is highly drinkable and accessible. One of the biggest things to note is the overall sweetness, which may distract the drinking experience for some, but not for me. This is certainly worth a try. 4.25

Time to be " That guy " Once again..
A - Pours impenetrable black with a huge, light mocha head. Head was so huge because of the carbonation. Left good amounts of lacing.
S - Lots of dates and figs up front, cherries as well. Perhaps this was marketed under the wrong style?.
T - Huge amounts of cherry up front followed by a boat load of dates and figs. I do not taste any hops at all. The roasted malt comes through as the beer sits in your mouth. Doesn't taste like any stout I've ever had.
M - Medium creamy body with light carbonation.
O -Overall, Guinness simply does not brew great beers in my opinion. It wasn't bad, bit it definitely wasn't sepctacular. Stout? WHERE?!

Dark, dark brown with a 2" beige, dense head that hangs around a while and leaves a thick lace.
Brown sugar, molasses, burnt toast - twangy sour funk....lots to like.
Rich...grainy, earthy malt. Cocoa or un sweet chocolate? Coffee with cream. Boozy. Slight twang in the end. Delicious.

Pouring a muddy brown, sweet notes of burnt brown sugar and coffee waft off the very dirty head, backed by an almost meaty undertone. On the tongue, a surprisingly complex balance is maintained: the extra hops attack up front, receding quickly as the brown sugar kicks in, a bit cream...followed by the coffee, earthy and gritty, and completed with a slightly dry finish reminiscent of Guinness Draught...all delivered with a full mouthfeel that satisfies like the act of chewing jerky.
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much with this one, but I'm very pleasantly surprised as it's rapidly risen of the ranks of my favorite beers. Not really a session beer, as it's quite complex and demands you attention, but perfect now and again, either on it's own (perhaps a third beer to wake up a numbing tongue), or with a heavy, meaty dish (including jerky). Cheers!

Wow, I must admit that I was not expecting this. There is a dark chocolaty flow into my glass with a lovely whipped mocha head. The flavor is of hint of a stale dark roast and a yummy tobacco. I feel that my mouth i content while it goes away pretty quickly leaving a weird feeling that make you want to take another sip asap. This is worth it weight in gold, or atleast coffee.

I generally do not succumb to cult classic beers that just are nothing at all special without the hype. Yuengleng, Fat Tire, PBR... please. Guinness however is a bit of an exception. I'm fully on board with the allure of the Guinness folklore, even though I know what's fact and what's myth. Guinness in general is something I drink when I want a decent beer to throw back in large quantities, and not consume a days worth of calories on beer in the process. I want to be clear that I know this is not going to be on par with my favorite microbrews, but I still am excited about this previously unavailable and mysterious selection.
it's appearance is a dark, yet vaguely translucent cola hue, with a thick head of creamy foam. Absolutely incredible lacing as it goes down too! The aroma is very, very promising. I am picking up raisins, figs, dark cherries, nuts, toasted bread, and creaminess all intermingled nicely. Now for a taste... Very pleasantly 'roasty,' as the style suggests, with brown sugar, and a noticeable bitter hop presence as well. This beer is light years beyond Guinness Draught & Guinness Extra Stout in the full flavor dept, and not much more in calories. As it warms a bit I notice more of a smokiness and prominent sweet raisin aspect, which are great characteristics. The mouthfeel is light and The alcohol effect is slightly warming. One negative thing I have to say is I get an occasional oxidation off-flavor in the finish. Maybe it's just this bottle. I may edit this out of the review if it does not occur in tasting the rest of the package.
Overall though, I am astonished at how good this is for a commercial offering.

Oh my god.
I've waited 8 years for this beer, and it didn't disappoint.
This thing pours pitch black with a tan head that fades into a long lasting thin tan head. The nose is a big snort of creamy roasty sweet fruitiness. Surprisingly more fruity than anything. Has that classic Guinness funk, but at a little bit higher levels.
The flavor is nice and sweet with the same fruit but also with a load of dark chocolate and dried cherry, finishing roasty and surprisingly dry. The body is thick and luscious without any heavy cloying quality. The finish is slightly acidic and calls you back for more.
Amazing, just absolutely amazing.

Best before 07/06/12. So this one has a bit of aging on it.
Poured into a goblet. Pitch black in color with a thick, solid brown colored head that leaves lacing down the sides of the glass.
Sweet black cherry, tobacco, roasted malt, stale coffee.
Initial flavors are of roasted malt, plum and black cherry. Then the tobaccoo, coffee, and chocolate flavors kick in. The finish has a lingering bitter roasted malt and slight cherry flavor.
Very smooth, silky mouthfeel.
More drinkable than I had expected. The roasted flavor isn't overpowering and the alcohol is not very apparent.

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. Would have never given it a shot without this site.
A: Pours a dark black, khaki one finger head. Subdues to the edge of the glass quickly.
S: Chocolate, slight coffee, sweet dark malt. Fairly sweet aroma.
T: Smooth creamy chocolate, bitter sweet finish.
M: Smooth, creamy, medium to slightly less body. Carbonation action on the tongue.
O: Pretty damn good, and shocked this comes from Guinness. Highly drinkable and by far the best product I've had from them.

Poured from their 12pak sampler:
Appearance - Poured 3 fingers of mocha brown foam, body is a rich opaque sienna to black, fantastic cinnamon brown lacing coats the glass, gorgeous!
Smell - Roasted malts, black licorice, mild black strap molasses, slight herbal hops.
Taste - Much like the nose, robust rich roasted malts, bittersweet black licorice, sticky herbal hops, molasses, finishes dry roasted herbs, grapefruit pith and slight coffee grounds.
Mouthfeel - Almost medium, very smooth and nearly creamy then medium carb cleans the palate just enough to usher in the bitter and drying roast and herbal hops.
Overall - By far the finest 'version' of Guinness stout. Smooth, full flavor, great appearance, the finest that Guinness has to offer, highly recommend.

I've been looking for this for a while, it finally showed up. Anyways poured from a 33cl bottle into a Guinness mug, coded bottle date. Pours a pitch black beautiful color with a massive three fourths the mug mocha colored head which is slowly receding to the body below, after a while this leaves a two finger thick head with a lacing. The smells are of dark roasted malts, the guinness burnt smells, a little hops. The feel is somewhere between medium to thick and creamy very nice. The taste is outstanding, plenty of dark roasted malts combined with a noticeable hop bite and a little alcohol burn, this is pretty great, better than the original.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
A - Pours a opaque jet black with a magnificent FIVE-finger tan head, with an amazing cascading effect. (Not a nitro bottle!) Head is creamy, becoming craggy as it subsides, leaving almost total lacing covering every inch of the glass. Seriously, this is the best looking beer I have ever seen.
S - Roasted grainy malts, hint of chocolate, and some musty hops.
T - Roasted barley malt begins the show, but almost immediately followed by an earthy euro hop bite which carries right through the finish. Esters of bittersweet chocolate, black currant, and pipe tobacco. A hint of lactose sugar comes out as it warms, invoking a "hot chocolate" taste. Flavors are rich and nicely balanced. Sweetness stays in control, but also in check.
M - Thick and chewy, with some of the grainy-ness in the taste and aroma coming out in the feel, but then gets silky as it finishes. Medium-high carbonation. Drying finish. Everything works here.
O - Ok...THIS is what Guinness should be. Their best product by far, and a million times better than the "pub draft" crap that most people associate with the brand. So good it made me want to go to the fridge and get another bottle right away. Could be the best example of "just" a "regular" stout....and it's "just" splendid.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass.
A - Pours heavily and VERY dark, can't see through it at all. Leaves a MASSIVE three-finger head that takes a long time to go away, leaving almost opaque lacing. Hardcore look.
S - Similar to regular Guinness, sort of a burnt coffee smell with some chocolate, touch of molasses/syrup.
T - The way regular bottled Guinness ought to be, with a little extra kick. Coffee, chocolate, molasses. Very roasty.
M - Quite heavy body, but ends sweet even after the trademark Guinness roasted bitterness. Like whole milk, if it were beer. I mean that in a good way.
O - Whoa. This is probably what all stouts should aspire to be.

I hate the flash debate. What do you need it for? Can you tell me? Hulu? I can get my shows from other sources. Games? App Store. Ads? No thank you.
I have no problems without flash.
I've had one since they came out and I really like it. The lack of flash and multitasking are brought up all the time and personally I don't care if it ever gets either. I think I've only run into a missing flash plugin problem once. Heck I'd buy one if all it had was the iBook, Kindle, GoodReader PDF, and HD pinball apps (and could surf CF of course).
I view it as more of an appliance than a computer and maybe that is why all the so called limitations are so unimportant to me. It certainly is not something that everyone will find useful, but that doesn't make everyone who has one an Apple fanboy wanna be poser. Although some are.
If there was a tablet that ran WebOS I would buy that. Hopefully there will be one later this year or early next year.
I like the tablet form factor. I don't want a bulky laptop and I don't need to use it for any sort of office work.
There are always trade-offs by computer and device makers. Apple knew that a really long-lasting battery would be a big selling point for the iPad. They eliminated quite a few features from the iPad (features I, myself, wanted) to get the price down and to free up space inside the unit for a really big battery.
The netbook makers also do this. What the netbook pushers here won't tell you is that netbooks makers often do the opposite -- sacrifice battery life for features or a low price. I have one of the better netbooks around, an Acer Aspire One. I am lucky to get 2 hours of use from a full charge, even with the power settings tweaked for the optimal settings. And, no, the problem isn't my particular battery. Batteries are rated in terms of "milliamp hours". My Aspire One came with a 3300 mAh battery. My cell phone, by comparison, has a 3200 mAh battery. Pretty sad when a netbook has a battery only slightly more powerful than the one for a cell phone.
People need to understand it is not supposed to be a computer or replace your computer. It is not a production device, but a consumption device. I have a desktop, a laptop or three, a netbook, and an ipad and use them all in different ways for different things.
As far as the Flash debate goes, I have only once maybe two times run into something that required it that I wanted to view. I thought it would be a much bigger issue than it really is when I got mine. Mark this post, but i would bet that Flash use is down 50% in the next 1-2 years and within 3-4 years it will hardly exist on the web anymore. HTML used to be king, then it was XHTML that took over, then Flash was king for a while, but now it appears as though things will swing back to HTML5.
The major sites that use flash (like youtube) have all developed their own apps for the ipad and honestly there are several apps I use that are much more user friendly than the actual site. If you have an ipad or iphone, check out the Craigslist app called Craigsphone, it is awesome and I think way better than the actual site.
I can't decide between an iPad and macbook wheel, might just get both.
Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard | The Onion - America's Finest News Source | Onion News Network
I have one on order, can't wait to get it. It will replace my phone for reading in bed, and surfing at home, doing quick financial stuff, etc. Flash is an occasional annoyance, but I had flash blocked on firefox already just because of high ad content, so I'll survive.
Hopefully the evo will rock and I'll replace my iPhone with it for use as a hotspot and I'm good to go.
jobs complaining that flash isn't open was the funniest thing i've heard in a long time.
Had a client come into the office with an iPad and he wanted to show me a document he had prepared. I asked him to download it to a flash drive so I could work on it on my desktop. Of course, that couldn't be done. It's also much heavier than I thought.
I much prefer my laptop as I can do everything I need on it, including downloading free reading materials.
Yeah if all you are doing is surfing the web im sure its great, but as far as comparing it to replacing the "computer" someday i think not lol i am not sold on anything apple. Its garbage you pay twice for the same thing you can get in a PC its just pointless. The video and music editing features are cool but unless your into that its useless.

Miami's Ten Best Bartenders
Julio Cabrera via Facebook |
Julio Cabrera and friends. |
But, bartenders, like chefs, have many different levels of expertise.
While the person who pops your Budweiser can at a beach shack might be considered a bartender, there are others for whom building a beautiful cocktail is an art form. These are the people who make pilgrimages to bourbon distilleries in Kentucky and to Oaxaca to study mezcal plants. Their thirst for knowledge about spirits is rivaled only by their passion to make the most delicious cocktail they can.

- Miami's Ten Coolest Cocktails For The Dog Days of Summer
Miami has come a long way in a short time. As little as five years ago, the best you could get in these parts was a "Goose and Bull" or a frozen blender drink made with corn syrup-laden mix. Now, there's a community of bartenders growing herb gardens, muddling fresh fruit, and using cutting-edge culinary techniques to make sophisticated and delicious creations.
These ten mixologists are the very reason why so many songs and stories were written in -- and about -- bars.
Laine Doss |
Over at the patio bar at Bloom in Wynwood, Jaren Rivas is holding court. Juggling two shakers, he suggests a bourbon cocktail to a visitor from New York, kibbitzes with two young women at a nearby table, and pours wine at the service bar. But don't think it's all fun, games, and a show at Rivas' bar. Southern Living magazine just called his Tequila Beets cocktail Miami's best nightcap. There's substance behind that flash.
Ben Potts via Facebook |
A Miami native, Ben Potts has an MBA from the University of Miami and could probably be a CFO at some Fortune 500 company if he wanted. But what he wants to do is make beautiful cocktails. Blackbird Ordinary in Brickell could be mistaken for any dive bar. But look closer and you'll find a space that grows its own herbs, fruit, and mints to be used in inventive cocktails named after flying creatures. It is there that Potts can finally let his creativity soar.

Charlotte Comedy Theater
Charlotte Comedy Theater's founder, Keli Semelsberger, studied with Amy Poehler and other luminaries of laughter in Chicago before bringing the exhilaration of living in the moment to Charlotte stages. Voted 2012's best improv- or sketch-comedy group by readers of Charlotte magazine, the company's cadre of off-the-cuff funny people delights audiences with interactive short-form shows. Drawing from games and exercises similar to those used on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, R-rated evenings teem with uproarious, impromptu scenes, where the cast takes suggestions from seat-bound participants and tries to ignore the bartender's ceaseless suggestions of "whoopee cushion."
Charlotte Comedy Theater doubles as a school where aspiring improvisers learn the tricks of the trade during six-week improv classes, and where beginners can wire their brains to think off the cuff in monthly Improv for Everyone workshops. Charlotte Comedy Theater's customizable team-building programs encourage small groups to trust their instincts and one another throughout fun, interactive exercises, which sometimes incorporate zip-line and rafting excursions.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the ever-changing sports business landscape in Wisconsin and around the country
Problems persist at the Metrodome
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Thursday that the weather has prevented a thorough evaluation of the damage done to the Metrodome's roof.
A blizzard heavily damaged the dome's air-supported roof.
If a determination is made that the roof needs to be replaced, a new roof would not be ready for five or six months.
If that is true, according to the newspaper, it could threaten the beginning of the football exhibition season.

Remember the Baltimore Colts. It won't be long and the Mayflower Vans will be pulling up in the middle of the night and loading up for L.A.
Not a big deal. The NFL and the union won't have an agreement by the time the "exhibition" season starts anyway.
Pssst...Mr. Walker, the NFL doesn't like the "Exhibition" season to be called that. That want it called the "Preseason". -
I don't know how that could threaten the beginning of the exihibition...oops, pre-season.Five or six months goes to the end of July at the latest and NFL exhibition...oops, preseason starts in August.Besides thay can always play the pre-season(got it) at the U of M stadium.
As much as I hate our NFC North brothers, I do respect them.
If the Vikings left Minnesota, that would be incredibly bad for their state, our region, and the entire NFL.
Keep the Vikings in Minnesota. -
Don, what will happen to all of the college baseball games that were supposed to be played there?
and i should care because?
Don't worry folks, the Vikings are not going anywhere. They managed to get the University of Minnesota a stadium, the Twins a stadium so next up is the Vikings.
Kind of like the Packers getting a stadium (renovation), the Brewers getting a stadium and soon hopefully the Bucks will either tear down or renovate the Badley Center (no spelling error). Hopefully they tear it down, it's horrible. -
the Bucks? you kidding me...wish they would sell that useless farm team and get us a hockey team in WI. The ongoing saga of the MetroBarn is TOO FUNNY, a collapse of epic proportions & it happened in the cities...TOO FUNNY...just had to say it again, cant get enough of it & they get what they deserve for building an INFLATABLE dome...mudducks...the worlds worst fans by far- remember all the years that they made the playoffs with Denny "c'mere & sit on my lap baby" Green and they had all the blackouts due to not enough tickets sold? TOO FUNNY...and they aint going anywhere so stop worrying
Maybe they should just take the rest of the roof off and play outside, like a real football team
PointNorth1... You are soooooo correct. For once, I've found someone who
agrees that the Bucks are a complete waste of time. Dead crowd, dead
league full of overpaid babies. Bring in the NHL and get some
entertainment for that $10 beer. The Queens are doomed but aren't going

Beauty Gizmos That Really WorkSo why would you want a(n)...
Tubing Mascara?Lengthening, extending, volumizing, thickening...tubing? There's a fresh term in the mascara-hype lexicon. More and more mascaras claim to enhance lashes by forming tiny tubes around every lash. The concept sounded to us like a bit of magical thinking, but according to independent cosmetic chemist Yoram Fishman, there really is something different about "tubing" mascaras. "Most mascaras are oil- or wax-based; they're essentially paints. These formulas are water-based and contain polymers that form a solid film around each lash once the product dries," he said. When we tried them (a whole bunch of them: Blinc, L'Oréal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Technology, VMV Hypoallergenics Ooh-La-Lash, Too Faced Lash Injection, Prestige Lash Matrix, Stila Convertible Mascara), we discovered the appeal. Tubing mascaras refuse to smear, smudge, or flake. The formulas dissolve in warm water; just a few splashes and those little tubes slip right off—no remover, rubbing, or raccoon circles of residue.
