"Nice hotel - tiny room"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 19, 2012

"Good place to stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 18, 2012
Had a nice stay at the B&B. It is a bit far from the city center but is right across a bus stop and there are plenty of buses going to city center, and so the distance was not a problem (...also bought a weekly bus pass). The place is near the Summertown shopping center with grocery stores etc. Overall, a good place to stay.

"Close to daughter and her husband"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 11, 2012
Room was lovely and the bathroom room area was comfortable to move around in as well. We liked the goodies in the room as well.
"pleasant surprise"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 30, 2012
I read some of the other reviews about this hotel and got a little nervous about what I was walking into. However, I found the hotel to be clean, staff to be friendly and location great. It is a 17th century building so the floors are a bit uneven; however, I think that's part of the experience of staying in a centuries old building. The rooms are modern with all the normal amenities- en suite bathroom, satellite TV, coffee maker. The location is great; it's within a short walking distance to the center of town. There you can find all the shopping, restaurants, pubs and historic buildings. I'd stay here again.
"Good for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 2, 2010
Given how much you can pay for hotels in the area, this was good value for money. Not exuberantly luxurious, but neither dirty nor decaying. Depending on exactly what you want to do, the location may be more convenient than you imagine, being outside the city centre means you don't have to battle traffic getting into and out of Oxford, and escaping to the countryside is easy. If you intend barely to use a car at all and just trundle round Oxford itself , then it is too distant, otherwise the location is great.

"Linton Lodge, Oxford"Reviewed by Steve L of "CT, USA" on Feb 9, 2010
Pro's: - spotlessly clean and quiet - friendly and helpful staff - nice on site bar and restaurant - in room iron and coffemaker - perfect location for St Hughs college Con's: - about a mile outside of Oxford (5 pound taxi or a nice walk on a safe and well lit street) - hotel is a converted row of houses, therefore has small and very steep staircases everywhere. Elevator does not access all room levels. Don't stay here if you are not good with staircases

Your 2011 Name of the Year
Is Taco B.M. Monster. Of course it's Taco B.M. Monster.
What were we thinking those scant 13 months ago when we gave Taco B.M. Monster a No. 2 seed? Did we actually believe the Dutch pharmacoepidemiologist bore an inferior name to any of the No. 1's—Monquarius Mungo (a pale imitation of 2009 NOTY Barkevious Mingo), Atticus Disney, stonegarden grindlife or La'Peaches Pitts? Did we?
Did we honestly not foresee that the author of "Oral Contraceptive Use and Hormone Replacement Therapy Are Associated With Microalbuminuria" would be Amsterdammed if he didn't don a clog and stomp the opposition into submission?
We did not. But then we always, foolishly, underestimate the power of a well-placed scatological onomastic reference. And a taco. And a monster. Especially when juxtaposed.
Let's recap. Dr. Monster ran roughshod over the field. Down went Florida murder victim Commie Spead. Then it was retired Lutheran preacher the Rev. Demon Sox. If ever we thought Taco B.M. Monster would be threatened, it was in a Wrestlemania-style Sweet 16 throwdown against wine merchant Monsterville Horton IV. Not even a speed bump. Elite 8: girlfriend attacker Vernon Lee Bad Marriage. Final Four: Neptune Pringle III.
And, finally, the final, a Nixonian 61-39 rout of Florida teen and fellow No. 2 seed Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson.
Welcome to the Hall of Champions, Taco B.M. Monster. Your fellow names stand and applaud.
(NOTY 2012 will commence soon. Or pretty soon. Soon-ish.)

2011 NOTY Final
Flag us for delay of game. We won't stomp around like Ndamukong Suh (whose name, while not NOTY worthy, does mean "house of spears" in the dialect of his father's ancestral tribe, which is pretty cool). We will accept our five yards with humility and a pledge to do better next year, meaning this year.
Introducing your 2011 Name of the Year finalists...
Out of the Bulltron Region, he was arrested in November 2010 in connection with a string of bank robberies around Orlando, just 19 years old, standing five feet ten (in one sock) and weighing 155 pounds, according to his mug shot, from Leesburg, Fla., a No. 2 seed, Courvoisier Winetavius "Crime Tyme" Richardson.
And from the Netherlands, more specifically the Department of Social Pharmacy and Pharmacoepidemiology, Groningen University Institute for Drug Exploration (GUIDE), Groningen, The Netherlands, or at least at the time of publication of "The impact of antihypertensive drug groups on urinary albumin excretion in a non-diabetic population" by the British Pharmacological Society, or maybe he's now at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus and Aalborg, Denmark, with whom he was affiliated at the time of publication of "Antidepressants and risk of first-time hospitalization for myocardial infarction: A population-based case-control study," he's also a No. 2 seed, out of the Dragonwagon Region, his name might be "perfectly normal" in Dutch, but we're not Dutch, Taco B.M. Monster.
Thank you for your continued support. Vote.

The Final Four
Sure, in just six days, Grantland can complete a Wire bracket. (Can't wait for the White Shadow bracket; I've got Coolidge over Salami in the final.) Here at NOTY, meanwhile, it's taken us a mere year just to get to the Final Four.
But here we are.
To no one's surprise (except perhaps that of No. 3 seed Joe Shortsleeve; we can still watch that video all day), No. 2 Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson finished off the Bulltron with an easy win over No.9 Rockwell C. Bonecutter. He'll face the Sithole champ, No. 4 Delorean Blow, who eked by the upstart No. 15 seed, medical illustrator Yolanda Supersad, who must be.
On the other side of the bracket, presumptive champion Taco B.M. Monster, the No. 2 seed in the Dragonwagon, blew out No. 5 Vernon Lee Bad Marriage Jr. He'll square off against the lowest seed standing, the Chrotchtangle No. 13, music man Neptune Pringle III, who barely dispatched the No. 2, former high-school runner Madz Negro.
Let's get the vote totals up, people. Spread the word, spread the NOTY love.
(The Wire characters, by the way? Weak names.)
No. 2 Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson: Mug shot available.
No. 4 Delorean Blow: Mug shot not available.
No. 2 Taco B.M. Monster: Dutch pharmacoepidemiologist.
No. 13 Neptune Pringle III: Nickname: Tunes.

Elite Eight, Part 2
It wasn't even close.
With a shocking rout of No. 11 seed Monsterville Horton IV, Dragonwagon Regional No. 2 Taco B.M. Monster announced himself as the favorite to flash the sign of the championship belt in balloting for the 2011 Name of the Year.
(Speaking of Dragonwagon, our very Crescent was just on public radio, talking beans—she's just written a book about them—with Tom Ashbrook of WBUR's "On Point." We love you, Crescent!)
Meanwhile, in light voting in the Chrotchtangle Regional—light, of course, because we've alienated our once-huge audience with these dilatory proceedings—the last remaining No. 1 seed, La'Peaches Pitts, went down by six votes, 323-317, to No. 13 Neptune Pringle III. Must have been the video.
Vote below.

Sweet 16: Dragonwagon Regional
We love it when the highest-brow media discover NOTY. We flash back three decades, picture Baskerville Holmes or Herman Veal or Darryl Derryberry scrawled on a piece of lined yellow paper and taped to a dorm-room door. And then we imagine our reaction had some sophomore walked by and told us that The Economist would be writing about our onomastic obsession one day.
But here we are on that august British magazine's delightfully named language blog, Johnson (after the 18th century English lexicographer Samuel Johnson). The magazine's Johnson shows us some love, lists the Sweet 16 and asserts that "many such names belong to black Americans." Blogger R.L.G. (no names at The Economist!) continues:
It's not hard to understand why those cut off for centuries from full American citizenship and human dignity might not choose Dennis or Steve for their children. Many blacks have reached for Swahili influences in choosing names, though most black Americans' ancestors came from western Africa, not Swahili's heartland on the other side of the continent. But many names are either borrowed from unusual sources (brand names like Courvoisier) or made up (Chuntania)—nothing African about either. And I can verify that I have seen an African-American checkout clerk in New Orleans whose name-tag read "Bellowney", and in the same store, a Sayonara.
This is a subject we've tackled ourselves, as have people who, unlike us, actually study names. The Economist's analysis might not be airtight, but we'll agree with its key conclusion: "There's nothing racist at having a smile upon finding a Monsterville or a Chuntania."
Which segues right into the Dragonwagon and the sadly premature throwdown between Monsterville himself and Taco. May the biggest smile win.
No. 2 Taco B.M. Monster: Dutch pharmacoepidemiologist.
No. 11 Monsterville Horton IV: Houston wine salesman.
No. 8 RexAchilles Imperial: Texas swimmer.
No. 5 Vernon Lee Bad Marriage Jr.: Beat his girlfriend.

Sweet 16: Bulltron Regional
We won't bother you with the details of our busy fall and winter, or our existential NOTY crises. OK, we will for a second. We've been doing this for more than a quarter century, in one form or another, and we've always feared the day when a Nohjay or a Nocandy or a Sidebottom just wouldn't do it anymore. During that busy fall and winter, it felt like that day had arrived.
But we're not willing to concede to Father Time just yet. And we apologize profusely for letting this -- ack, last! -- year's tournament slide. And we're ready to accept assistance for 2012. So how about we just say, wake-up call received, Upshake, and we get back to the business of selecting a 2011 Name of the Year?
Where we were? Oh, yes. The Sweet Sixteen. Let's start with the Bulltron Regional. Vote now.
No. 9 Rockwell Bonecutter: Technology executive.
No. 12 Leviticus Payne: University of Cincinnati defensive back.
No. 2 Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson : Armed robbery suspect.
No. 6 Ebenezer Noonoo: Ex-college hooper.

The Sweet 16
Here's another way to look at this year's drawn-out NOTY Tournament: More time to savor the onomastic greatness. Or, what's the rush?
The High Committee is heading overseas. Sure, they have the interwebs over there, but we just don't think posting the next round will be a high priority.
Meantime, enjoy your 2001 NOTY Sweet 16. I think we can all agree it's tragic that either Monsterville Horton IV or Taco B.M. Monster will be eliminated so soon. Seeding is a fickle science.
Happy summer.

Pennsylvania Travel Tips
Things to See and Do at Pennsylvania Vacation Rentals
One of Pennsylvania's main attractions is its excellent amusement parks. On Lake Erie, there is the famous Splash Lagoon. This amusement park is a giant indoor water park where you can enjoy slides and rides, have a lazy tube ride or surf in a wave pool. Because it is an indoor venue, it can be enjoyed in every season, even when it is snowing outside. Other notable amusement parks include Conneaut Lake Park, Dutch Wonderland, Hershey Park, and Sandcastle Water Park. Pennsylvania is also home to some of the country's best museums. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is well known for its top quality exhibits. Pittsburg is famous for the Carnegie Museums, and Scranton is home to the unique Houdini Museum.
Visitors to Pennsylvania Lodging
Pennsylvania is a great family vacation destination. The state is home to several top amusement parks which are ideal for family fun days. There are also more than 120 state parks where you can enjoy nature trails, fishing and hunting. Philadelphia vacation rentals are near a wealth of interesting museums for you to explore as a family. Music and art enthusiasts will enjoy the many festivals that take place throughout the year. These are usually weekend or week-long events where there are excellent music and entertainment combined with food and craft stalls. There are several casinos that provide endless gaming entertainment. Golfers have a choice of top-quality golf courses at which to enjoy 18 holes of golf. Philadelphia is also home to several major and minor league sports teams. Sports fans from all over the region often flock to the city when there is a big game.
Seasons to Travel to Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has a variable climate, depending on where in the state you are staying. Most of Pennsylvania enjoys a humid continental climate. Rain occurs throughout the year and heavy snowfall can occur in the winter months, especially in the far northwestern parts of the state. Philadelphia, because it is closer to the coast, benefits from a more subtropical climate. There really is no off season in which to visit Pennsylvania. Poconos resorts and Endless Mountain vacation rentals are a four-season destination, and visitors who enjoy snow sports will love the icy winter months when the state benefits from heavy snowfall. If you are wanting to explore the countryside, summertime would be a more ideal time to visit as getting around during this season is more convenient. It is advisable to listen to the weather reports when traveling as tornadoes frequently occur during the hot summer months. In the cities, the attractions of museums, shopping and entertainment are available all year round.

NEW YORK -- West Virginia has only had nine first-round NFL draft picks.
Never before have back-to-back years produced first-round picks, though that should change tonight when either receiver Tavon Austin or quarterback Geno Smith is called to the famed stage at Radio City Music Hall.
Whether more history is coming remains unknown.
The Mountaineers have never had two players taken in the first round. Since Austin is considered an unquestioned first-round pick, it would seem the fate of a double dose of draft firsts is attached to when Smith is picked during the seven-round, three-day draft that begins at 8 p.m. on ESPN and the NFL Network.
Smith stopped wondering, never mind caring, a while back.
"My expectation is to go early, but if I don't, it's not going to phase me really," he said. "The only thing I can do is wait until a team calls my name. Then, whatever team I go to, I'll go there and try to win the starting job. Once I'm the starter, I'll try to win games and continue to play toward my other goals because I've got the bar set high for myself."
NFL Draft: Peers expect WVU stars to excel at next level
* * *
AUSTIN'S NAME has risen so high and so suddenly on draft boards because of his performance at the draft combine. Even in the presence of abundant game footage, he said he still needed to convince people he was fast and could run routes and catch passes down the field.
At the combine in February, Austin ran the 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds, which was 0.01 seconds off the record set by Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson. Austin's time was later adjusted to an official 4.34 seconds.
"I think I had a good career, but at the end of the day, I tie all this to the combine," Austin said. "That's when they really got to see me run routes and then when I ran that fast time, I think that's what got me to here.
"I think I had to run the 4.2. A lot of people had me as a 4.4 guy and I knew that was wrong. We just never had a timer on us at West Virginia."
Austin also believes he's in the right place at the right time and ready to step into the NFL as teams evolve to accommodate more spread offenses, feature slot receivers and make the most of fast players who are dangerous in space.
"A couple years ago, my name probably wouldn't be mentioned in the league," he said.
Austin said every team he met with vowed to use the touch pass he and Smith made famous, but he said there are other plans for the player who ran for 344 yards against Oklahoma.
"Every team said that they'd definitely like for me to come in and play running back here and there or on third down," he said.
Austin's versatility on offense and in special teams, when combined with the speed from the combine and the elusiveness on film, has propelled him toward the top of the first round.
"Pretty much what they say is when they look at me, they see a special player," Austin said. "They always tell me you can't coach what I do."

I was excited to read about more of the characters in this book, I agree with DZ in the fact that there isn't much story developement, but James Patterson does give us a good solid book for character developement and a source other then the books to get even more insight to the lives that they live. Another must read.

The first three Max books are amazing. I loved them so much I anticipated their arrivals. They are so different from other fantasy novels. No vamps, no werewolves, no monsters really. It is just an experiment. These kids, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, The Gassman, and Angel are 98% han, 2% bd. But the 2% bd make them extra special. They are on the run from sadistic place called School(hehe) and the horrible half wolf half human Erasers.
However; don't bother with the fourth one, it is utter rubbish and not worth the trees they use to print it.

All the Maximum Ride books are amazing and I loved them. They are filled with so much action that makes you want to read more. My absolute favorite book in the series would have to be between Fang and Angel. I am so excited for the next book to come out in feburary of 2012!

Supplying yet more evidence, if more were needed, of the dire straits the music business increasingly finds itself in — reader cphilo sends us a NYTimes article about the death of the album as the mainstay of profit, and the record labels' struggle to adopt to the new realities. The article notes the trend of the labels signing artists for a single song, maybe two, and a ring tone.

Using this technique researchers at Websense have uncovered over 2,000 websites hosting malware, and are also able to detect legitimate sites that have been hacked. Could this binary search feature also be used to exploit Google and trick users into downloading malware?"

Graeme Williams writes "One difference between SQL and a conventional procedural programming language is that for SQL there's a bigger gap between what the code says and what the code does. The Art of SQL is the opposite of a cookbook – or rather it's about cooking rather than recipes. It's not a reference manual, although there's plenty to refer back to. It's an intermediate level book which assumes you know how to read and write SQL, and analyzes what SQL does and how it does it." Read on for Graeme's review.

There is a section for kids with comic books and a section for teachers for grades 1-3, 3-6 and 6-8. An example of a grade 1 class activity: 'Present the following situation to students: Your friend is downloading a song off the Internet. In comes Captain Copyright. Ask: What do you think Captain Copyright will say? Encourage students to brainstorm. Then hand out (or read) Line Master: Some Copyright Laws.' In Canadian law it is incorrect to download a song unless you pay for it. They also neglect to mention that Canadians pay a tax on blank media that is meant to compensate artists for downloads."

I overestimated the impact of Obama's most shrill and self-righteous supporters and assumed they would turn off other Americans the way they had alienated me. I don't want to poke a mostly dead hornet's nest -- especially now that a lot of the early zealots are madder at Obama than they are at me. But with hindsight it's clear I was oversensitive to three cohorts of noisy Obama supporters: mainstream media stars, self-righteous lefties, and fools who threw the word "racism" around carelessly.
The racism slur got old fast, especially in the pages of Salon. Back in 2003, I was guilty, for a time, of underestimating Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's appeal. While I praised his politics, I publicly expressed doubt that he was electable (um, note to self, I might have been right about that one, but that's ancient history). I was besieged by the online Dean Defense Forces, who used blogs and e-mail and letters to the editor to plead with me, some more nicely than others, to give the good doctor another chance. They called me short-sighted, myopic, politically cynical, even conservative. (You can read about it in my last online self-correction, "My Big Fat Mea Culpa.")
But the Dean backers did not accuse me of hating former wrestlers, doctors, Vermont politicians or men. I wasn't called the C-word or the B-word or a hag, harridan or harpie; nor was I called any of the gender-based terms of non-endearment you can find on my blog comments from back in the heat of the primary season.
I defended Hillary Clinton against sexist attacks because the same sexism was being directed at me. The sexism drove me as crazy as the crazy folks yelling racism, especially from the mainstream media. Read more...
Got that? Obama supporters = shrill and self-righteous. Clinton supporters = righteous. Charges of sexism = always totally just. Charges of racism = tiresome rants by "crazy people." Um, Joan, I defended Barack Obama against racist attacks because the same racism was being directed at me, quite often by white feminists who I had long considered my allies. Do we really need to debate again that there was virulent sexism and racism in this campaign season? Are we going to play oppression Olympics again? Is a woman who proudly published an article on Michelle Obama's rear and a riveting treatise on the growing popularity of more hair "down there" really the person to be carrying the banner for feminism?

RewardMe is a mobile technology that utilizes gaming mechanics to get customers addicted to local stores. With a unique combination of low-cost equipment and mobile software technology, we take the success factors of Farmville and apply it offline to increase repeat customers and referrals for Restaurants.
RewardMe integrates a gaming-mechanics focused loyalty and engagement program that allows local stores to interact with their customers more while incentivizing actions like more visits, referrals, and feedback by giving them points. Users can get points for each purchase and referrals, and can redeem these points for real rewards such as a free drink, free appetizer, or a VIP membership. Stores can grant different points based on when the user checks-in (such as giving double the points during slower hours) and the frequency of check-ins (such as giving them 20% off for the next month if they checked-in 4 times within 30 days). Stores can also grant reoccuring points for successful referrals between two users. This will enable local stores to know exactly how many times their customers buy, refer, and communicate, and create a stronger relationship between businesses and consumers.
The current version of RewardMe utilizes a combination of QR Code Scanning technologies, GPS security verifications, and physical billfolds and card stands that act as our check-in equipment. Users can only check-in as they are paying within the store, which creates actual purchase behaviors. RewardMe has a powerful admin built in for store owners to setup robust check-in, referral, points and reward systems within minutes on their phones and web app. Besides allowing users to get points and rewards, we allow users to check-in and publish their activities on other networks like Facebook, FourSquare, and Yelp.

6 Year entrepreneur; CEO of FDCareer (rated on Mashable as one of the Top 10 Social Networks for Gen Y) & Viralogy; Social Media and Gamificaion Speaker/Lecturer for Stanford, Google, Draper Richards Retreat Etc.
Stephen Johnson, Chief Product Officer
15+ years of programming experience. Lead Developer for BunchBall, a series B startup on gaming mechanics that grew to $2M in revenue within a year with clients like NBC, P&G and Victoria's Secret.
Jun Loayza, Chief Marketing Officer
Founder of SocialMediaMarketing.com and Untemplater. Recruited and managed a sales team of 25 and grew SMM to $1.2M in revenue within one year with customers like LG, Levi's, and Activision.
Adam Gervin, VP-Business Development
Founding member of four successful startups: OneBox.com (sold for $850M to OpenWave), SEVEN Networks (#2 after RIM in its space), VerdiSoft (sold $120M to Yahoo!), Caustic Graphics ($27M to Imagination).
Since we have a clear value proposition on getting more repeat customer and referrals to businesses, that's where our revenue model will come from. As a proof of concept, we made 8 locations agree that they will pay us $100/mo based on features used after getting 50 users (we even collected credit card numbers to automatically start charging). However, since you as investors don't make money when we are profitable but when we exit, our ultimate goal is to get more merchants to sign up in the most frictionless model possible. We plan to apply a freemium model where it is free to use our basic core features, and have businesses pay for advanced features such as push notification with pre-buy functions, surveys, and social media integration.
RewardMe's competition involves deal-type apps like Groupon, and social check-in companies like FourSquare. Instead of focusing on one-time bargain hunters, RewardMe focuses on loyalty customers. Instead of focused on sharing where you are unverified to the public, RewardMe focuses on verified check-ins. Also, we have high defensibility due to the physical space of the RewardMe equipment as well as the nature of a loyalty program.

The Catch 22 campaign urgently needs a person or people in this riding to get flyers printed and distributed; and if you have extra energy and enthusiasm, to put up posters in conspicuous places. If you're interested, please contact email@example.com to get started. It only takes one person. It's nice to have company though, so gather some friends together and make it a party of it. Flyers can be distributed at all-candidates meetings, other community meetings, and door-to-door.

I'm still thinking about the notion of a "user interface for cities and their residents", and thinking about what the key components of a 1.0 of such a system would be. This is, after all, what we've set out in some small way to work toward - a general user interface for cities everywhere, that residents of those cities can plug into. Maybe working toward that just means outlining what the main components are, maybe it means pointing to instances of it in each city, and maybe it means building it ourselves. Or maybe it is some combination of those three things.
At any rate, following up on Tuesday's post about outlining a DIYcity 1.0, I'm taking the very simple, conceptual step of taking those services I was talking about and thinking of them explicitly in terms of DIY:
DIY Transportation
DIY Police Services
DIY Emergency Care
DIY Public Health
DIY Waste Management
DIY Education (added by nickyg)
and a few others:
DIY Resource Location
DIY Alt Transportation (bikes etc)
DIY Citizen Coordination
and I'm thinking of these as top-level categories for possible DIY applications.
Inside those categories of course you could fit hundreds of individual apps. And we will, eventually. But if we start by outlining the top-level categories for a user interface for cities, then we can start to think more clearly about what a 1.0 interface should include. Or rather what it needs to include.
(I left off of this list a lot of services that I think are not innately DIY-friendly: Fire service for instance. If you think I'm wrong to leave these things out of the framework for a DIYcity 1.0, let me know.)
So that's where I am today: with a rough outline of a framework for a DIYcity 1.0, a user interface for cities. That will get codified somewhat into the site itself going forward, and we will begin to formulate ideas around these.
I still feel like this is an incomplete list. I've gotten a few good responses from people off-list about this. If you have any other ideas on this, please send em my way.
Have you seen SeeFixClick.com? They are calling for an urban 311 open API.

Interview: Viggo Mortenson
Viggo Mortenson
Ain't it Cool News', Capone chats with Viggo Mortenson about politics, THE ROAD, APPALOOSA, and THE HOBBIT.
In late October, as part of the Chicago International Film Festival's Closing Night festivities, Viggo Mortensen got himself a Career Achievement Award just before a screening of what will now be his next film to be released in theaters, a strange film that examines the fluid definitions of right and wrong–a movie called GOOD. Set in the early days of the National Socialist moment in Germany, GOOD centers on a professor who wrote a harmless novel years earlier that inadvertently is serving the Nazis as a justification for their theories of racial purity and the killing of the Jewish people. The book serves as such a great inspiration and blueprint that the professor is elevated up through the Nazi ranks almost without any ambition on his part to do so. Now that the adaptation of THE ROAD has been moved into 2009, GOOD is being pushed as Mortensen's shot at an Oscar for 2008. It's a quiet, understated performance about a complicated man, who is both far from flawless and far from guilty.
I don't tend to talk about the circumstances that lead up to any interview I do, but this particular day was interesting. Mortensen only spoke to three journalists during his short time in Chicago–one from a local newspaper, one from a local TV station, and me. Just to add some context to the beginning of our conversation, we spoke about five days before Election Day in November. In addition to his memorable work in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, THE INDIAN RUNNER, CRIMSON TIDE, THE PROPHECY (he played the motherfucking devil!), G.I. JANE, A WALK ON THE MOON, and a pair of films with David Cronenberg (A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and EASTERN PROMISES), as well as the criminally overlooked APPALOOSA earlier this year, Mortensen is a fierce activist. For those of you who hate it when actors talk politics, you may be forced to skip huge sections of the beginning of our conversation, which also covers his disappointment at THE ROAD's release date getting pushed back and whether or not there's a chance he'll appear in the two-film adaptation of THE HOBBIT.
Mortensen is without a doubt one of the most engaging people I've ever talked to. His answers about any of his films are not prepared or cut down to sound-bite-ready snippets. If the spirit grabs him on any topic, he goes with it, as you'll see from the beginning of our talk. Enjoy 35 minutes with Viggo Mortensen!

Pours a nice rocky head of white foam, shows pretty good retention and really nice lacing. Colour is a hazy pale orange, unfiltered wheat. 4.25
S - very full fresh fruitiness. Sweet banana, slight bubblegum, some light yeast in the back. Green apple, and dark malty bread. Some fruity sweetness, and a light lime citrus overtone. Very well intigrated and satisfying. 4.5
T- a light spice prickle before leading to a full sweet malty body, very creamy. Banana milkshake smoothie. Subtle spice and lime notes, a bit sweet and creamy with the wheat influence. Lots of apple and pear fruitiness, some dry coriander in the back. Finish is clean and light, finally a bit of bitterness on the end, slightly earthy with some dry yeast lingering on. 4.25
M - again very smooth. Overall a light and very refreshing wit beer, just some pleasing soft carbonation. With a creamy wheat sweetness leading to a shorter dry finish. 4.5
Such an easy and tasty beer to drink. A very excellent witbier in all respects. Very nicely balanced with some interesting things going on. Great complexity and yet so easy and tasty to drink. I would maybe prefer a bit less sweetness and more hops, the wheat here adds a delicious smooth creamy character. Great beer though.

Poured from a 33cL bottle into a brandy snifter. Best before 20 June 2014.
A: Light light head with good lacing tops a milky-yellow paleish, hazy beer.
S: Pleasant, spicy yeast. Typical wit spices (including prominent coriander).
T: A bit tart, which I like, thinnish, lemony, and pleasant. A very refreshing beer, but, again, a typical wit. One of the least flavourful Bernardus.
M: Slightly dry, spicy, puckery, interesting.
O: A solid wit, but unexceptional for the style. Recommended, but not particularly compelling.

From a 330 ml bottle (dated May 13, 2014) into a pokal.
A-A timid pour produces a monster three-plus finger head. The foam is eggshell in color and sticks around for a bit. The brew is murky and looks like wet hay.
S-Smell is lemon, spices (pepper and coriander), orange zest with a light sweetness. There is a touch of bready, doughy yeast, too.
T-The taste is citrus zest and spice up front with a little wheat tang in the middle, followed by a slightly drying, chalky finish. Nicely balanced, subtle, and drinkable.
M-The feel is lighter bodied and slick up front, with fine, moderate carbonation that dries out on the finish. This brew certainly has the feel figured out.
O-This wit is a great example of the style. As you would expect from a true Belgian, things are balanced while erring slightly on the sweet side. There is no gimmickry or funny business, and none is necessary here to create solid flavors. I would've liked to compare this to the Toyko Wit in a heads-up comparison, because my recollection is that that beer is also quite nice.

Has a brilliantly lively aroma of coriander, orange and a touch of citrus. Quite sweet and spicy. Very nice.
Pours a predictably cloudy golden color with a pretty nice head with good retention in my glass.
Brightly sweet with notes of orange and citrus... It's quite fruity. The coriander is there as well but is restrained when compared to what the aroma was. Also clear it's a wheat beer towards the finish. The sweet seems to carry the day here though with coriander in the back.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: A hazy golden-orange body is surmounted by a thick, dense white head, which retains well. Thick lacing adorns the glass wall in an unbroken sheet. Slight sediment is noted. The carbonation is modest and slow-rising.
Aroma: The aroma presents a dense bouquet of coriander, citrus, and wheat. The citrus notes are reminiscent of unsweetened orange juice, the coriander certainly the most prominent I have ever encountered in any beer I can recall. The wheat offers a sturdy presence, like a rustic farmhouse bread.
Taste: The taste opens with strong notes of coriander and cloves, as well as a very prominent, sweet orange flavor. A distinct wheat bread flavor as present as well, although it is secondary to the other flavors, all of which are far more pronounced than in other examples of the style that I have tried. Finally, the yeast contributes a slight earthy note near the close. Any hop flavors are either quite subtle, or entirely absent.
Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, and very full, velvety.
Drinkability/notes: A magnificent, over-the-top example of the style. Many other examples of the witbier style seem but pale shadows of St. Bernardus Witbier.
Presentation: Packaged in an eleven point two ounce brown glass longneck bottle sealed with a pry-off crown, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

33cl bottle into a St. Bernardus chalice at one of the (terrible) Belgo restaurants in London.
A: Hazy pale orange body with a finger of ultra-fine white head. Ok retention, rather weak lace. Pretty average.
S: Delicate, complex array of orange peel, coriander, wheat, and lemongrass. Pretty much exactly what I want from the style, with its only fault being a slight lack of depth and intensity.
T: Spicy up front, with citrus and grassy notes filling in behing. Clean minerality on the finish. Excellent.
M: Hugely lively, creamy, and fairly light-bodied. Fun.
O: I've been meaning to try this for the longest time, and it was just as great as I expected. Definitely one of the best Witbiers I've ever had.

Poured into my Texels Weizenglass
Murky pale yellow body. plenty of carbonation. gigantic medium bubbled head that is pretty stable. leaves a lacing.
koriander is dominating the nose. some citric notes
typical witbier taste but lacks sweetness. furthermore herbs. some sourness even tartness that sticks to the tongue and almost reminds me of a geuze. little bitterness.
thin to medium body. tickling carbonation. refreshing.
Witbier that does not exaggerate on the spices. That is good. what I miss is the typical sweetness for balance. Not my favorite witbier.

From: Binny's, Champaign, IL
Date: Best by 2014-08-19
Glass: Tulip
St. Bernardus' wit is an excellent example of the style, strongly expressive and well-spiced, exhibiting the full characters of what make this beer remarkably satisfying and easy-to-drink through multiple glasses. While the strong coriander, citrus zest, and wheat malt flavors may be more appropriate for summer drinking, I appreciated them equally well on this cold, wet winter day. My only complaint with this is the price: $4.29 for 11.2oz of a fairly resource-unintensive beer? While excellent, I certainly won't be getting this with any frequency.
Pours a tall, 3cm head of bright, white foam that is made up primarily of small bubbles. The way the bubbles collect and arrange themselves from the rising carbonation resembles a collection of ever-replenishing fish, frog, or insect eggs. Retention of the foam is excellent, lasting many minutes in its decline to a thin cap atop the body of the beer. Lacing is substantial and ever-present, a thick ring around the entirety of the inner glass as the head descends or the beer is drunk. The body is a fairly heavy yellow color, opaque from suspended sediment, with light bringing out pale yellow hues. Carbonation is visible running up the sides of the glass, the opacity limiting visibility from the bottom of the glass, though.
Strong aroma of lemon rind, freshly ground coriander, and smooth and semi-sweet wheat malt.
The taste of the beer is sparkling and bright, with potent orange and lemon zest, freshly ground coriander, hints of grapefruit rind, and a perpetually present, grounding base of wheat malt. Front of palate picks up sweetness, as from wheat and barley malts, along with light coriander and citrus zest (mostly orange, a bit of lemon). Mid-palate finds expressive coriander and orange zest, with a background of sweet wheat malt and hints of lemon zest and yeast. Back of palate picks up some pleasant, crisp, modest bitterness along with grapefruit rind and tart orange zest, continued coriander, and a smooth wheat malt base. Aftertaste is of grounding wheat malts, still expressive coriander, yeast, and citrus rind.
The beer is medium to medium-light in body, with carbonation of medium intensity that foams this up nicely across the palate, without being overly fizzy or harsh. Closes out semi-dry, with little to no residual stickiness across the palate.

Consistent,y one of my all time favorite beers. The look of it is picture perfect: hazy yellow with a lingering, sensual head. The smell is sort of spicy, with coriander coming through; but also a mix of orange/banana I smell. The taste is top notch. The spices are dominant, but banana, orange, and some grassy notes come through to really balance out this beer. Paired with chicken and dumplings, this is a near perfect meal!

330ml bottle into a nonic.
Pours a hazy straw yellow with a huge three finger billowy white head. The fluffy head sticky around for a long time and leaves huge clumps of lacing on the sides of the glass. This is what a wit should look like. Picture perfect.
The aroma just jumps out of the glass with lemon and coriander dominating. There are more subtle hints of clove, banana, and orange. There is a real sharpness to the aroma that I love.
The flavor brings forth tons of coriander and more orange than was present in the aroma. Fresh baked bread along with lemon provide support along with a delicate tartness on the tip of the tongue. Perfect soft wheat character along with abundant carbonation that is perfect for the style.
Overall, this is what every witbier should strive to be like. To me, this is the absolute defining beer of the style and by far the best wit I have ever had. I only wish I could get this close to where I live because I would go through cases during the summer.

St. Bernardus Wit has a thick, foamy, off-white head, a large amount of heavy lacing left on the glass, and a hazy, yellow-golden appearance, with lots of tiny bubble streams. Some brown sediment chunks are visible after the bottom of the bottle is swished. The aroma is of white wheat bread and citrus, and the taste is of coriander, white wheat bread, a shade of banana, spice (white pepper?), and yeast. Mouthfeel is fairly light, and St. Bernardus Wit finishes semi-dry, mellow, and highly drinkable. Overall, this is a great wheat beer, and I think fans of this style will enjoy it.

A- pours a cloudy bright yellow color with a tall and creamy white head that has good retention. Some lace sticking to the side.
S- vibrant lemon peel and coriander, some earthy funky yeast, floral notes some must. Aromas are much more profound than a typical wit.
T-notes of coriander and lemon with faint floral hops, wheaty backbone, some tartness mid palate, perhaps from the yeast. Wheat and chalky finish is dry with a lemon-like linger.
M- light-med body with lively carbonation, creamy mouthfeel with a smooth finish

11.2oz bottle poured into a Boulevard chalice.
A: Pours an appropriately cloudy lemon yellow color. The rocky white head is doggedly persistent. Lacing is plentiful and very sticky and foamy. This is as good as a wit can look.
S: Yeasty and spicy with scents of white and black pepper, soft clove, faint lemon, and orange peel. Slightly musty. Wheaty base smells of dough. The nose really pops and is a little more complex than youtraverage wit.
T: Doughy, creamy wheat with a bit of that lemony zing. Strong pull of orange peel and a spike of coriander. Peppery. Yeasty with a slight clove impression and subtle, vague spices. Maybe even a ghostly hint of herbal hops. Wheaty and yeasty on the finish.
M: Light in body. Textbook frothy milkshake mouthfeel. Aggressive carbonation cuts through the body and scrubs the palate. Very crisp and refreshing.
O: I bought the St. Bernardus mix pack just for this beer, and it did not disappoint. This is a real witbier. They don't make 'em like this anymore. It's way too drinkable, and even I was surprised by how quickly I drained my glass. It really hit the spot, even in the dead of winter. They really need to get this beer over here in volume, especially toward the summer months.

typically hazy, yellow, and this one has a beautiful, rich billowy white head and wonderful carbonation.
aromas of richness, but nothing really distinctive.
taste is very rich. i used to like this style very much but became very opposed to it due to the richness, just as i have with the hefes....
i purchased this because i love the st bernardus line and i wanted to see how they did this one. while still avoiding the hefes and the wits, i can see this as being the standard. while hoegaarden was the commercially available 'standard', i really appreciate this one as having a cleaner and more refreshing taste. more subdued spiced. still too rich for me, but, in my opinion, a much better product than hoegaarden. i wish i lived in belgium. or at least traveled there. being in the air force during the clinton administration, i sat by as all movement was frozen to due budget cuts. i so badly wanted to experience a real oktoberfest...
i gave this very high marks due to the sublteness, yet still present, of the spices....

Pours a murky butter yellow with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks and dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, wheat, spices, yeast, and a perfume-like citrus aroma. Taste is much the same with a mild spice finish that lingers after each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp and prickly mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with a great smell that is tasty and easy to drink.

750ml into a tulip. Pours a fully hazed dull pale yellow, white head retains nicely, nice lacing.
Aroma is unmistakeably St Bernardus, rich sweet fruity yeasty, upbeat and clean. Shares much with the tripel.
Taste is particularly complex within a narrow range. No sharp edges. Finishes with a phenolic touch that punctures the sweet fruity initial flavor, a dry bite that fades away slowly. Coriander and orange peel are on full display but are far from parfumy. Medium bodied creamy mouthfeel.

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a Belgian Tulip glass.
A: Pours a cloudy yellow-golden hue with a huge, frothy, white head that slowly dissipates down the side of the glass, leaving a nice trail and ending in a solid lace that never ends.
S: Citrus and spicy aroma with coriander scent.
T: Orange and citrus flavor with a spicy sweet backbone. Belgian yeast subtle in the background and finishes on the dry side of sweet.

Have you ever had a sense of weather déjà-vu?
Frankly, most of us probably have. You could lose count of the warm, sunny days in Los Angeles, or the snowy winter days in Syracuse, or the drizzly days in Seattle.
But some places have witnessed weather coincidences far weirder than a pair of brisk New England fall mornings.
We're talking places that have seen tornadoes and hurricanes not only strike more than once, but under some pretty extraordinary circumstances – identical dates, years, streets, or storm names.
On the next five pages, we'll take a look at some of the most eerie coincidences we can remember, starting with a pair of identically-named storms that both hit Houston.
