Bulk uploader on the front end
24 May 2009 at 2:36pm
Hi guys,
I have a page using the ImageDataObjectManager. This works really well and now I need to extend it to having front end uploading of images.
I envision something similar to the old bulk uploader module using swfuploader and stuff but I don't know how to create dataobjects with the uploaded images and associate them to that page, I also wonder what the best way is to add a title and description.
Ideally i would like it if the same popup that appears in the CMS stepping you through each step could appear on the front end when they click a button.
What are your thoughts on implementing something like this?

Yeah, I do this all the time. Just create a form with a SWFUploadField. There's a tutorial in the SWFUploadField docs.

Hi UncleCheese,

I have a had a go at doing this myself buy appeared to have failed - I've pasted my non-working code here http://php.pastebin.com/m4a747a6c and wonder if you would possibly have time to look over it. I kinda got messed up so not sure what it's finally trying to do - the error is a javascript alert saying "There was a error - file was rejected by server"

The first function should handle the swf upload files, save them to a folder 'Images' and resize them to 10*10.

The second function will hopefully attach the uploaded files as data objects to the page from which they were uploaded so that they can be displayed in the ImageGallery.

Thanks for any advice

Crap, that code is dated. Uploads are handled differently in 2.3. Yours would work great in 2.2!
Here's a working example of a resume upload form I'm using on a site right now:
class EmploymentPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
public function ResumeForm()
return new Form(
new FieldSet(
new TextField('Name','* Name'),
new TextField('Address'),
new TextField('City'),
new TextField('State'),
new NumericField('Zip'),
new EmailField('Email','* Email'),
new TextField('Phone','* Phone'),
new TextareaField('Message','* Please use the space below to let us know why you are interested in employment','6','40'),
new SWFUploadField(
"* Please attach your most current resume and cover letter (PDF or DOC only).",
array (
'file_types_list' => '*.doc;*.pdf',
'file_queue_limit' => '1',
'browse_button_text' => 'Choose file...',
'upload_url' => $this->Link('handleswfupload'),
'required' => 'true'
new FieldSet(
new FormAction('doResumeSubmit','Submit Application')
new RequiredFields('Name','Email','Phone','Message')
public function handleswfupload()
if (isset($_FILES["swfupload_file"]) && is_uploaded_file($_FILES["swfupload_file"]["tmp_name"])) {
$file = new File();
$u = new Upload();
$u->loadIntoFile($_FILES['swfupload_file'], $file, "Resumes");
echo $file->ID;
else {
echo ' '; // return something or SWFUpload won't fire uploadSuccess
public function doResumeSubmit($data,$form)
$data = $form->getData();
$to = "email@example.com";
$subject = "New Employment Application";
$from = $data['Email'] ? $data['Email'] : "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$email = new Email();
$email->ss_template = "EmploymentEmail";
$email->subject = $subject;
$email->to = $to;
$email->from = $from;
if($_POST['uploaded_files']) {
$file = DataObject::get_by_id("File",$_POST['uploaded_files'][0]);
$email->attachFile(Director::baseFolder() . "/" . $file->Filename, basename($file->Filename));

This works great, but I'm having a issue. I posted your code exactly as it is displayed above. Everything shows up except the upload button. In my template all I do is show resume form.
Any ideas on what would prevent the upload button from being displayed?
Re: Bulk uploader on the front end
11 June 2009 at 1:22am
Do you have 'requred' => true set on that field? I believe the effect of that is that it hides the upload button until you select a file. If that's not the case, check for javascript errors.

I have simillar problem, I would like to add some files to a page via frontend. I have a working form with swfupload field (files are uploaded but not attached to a page) and I am able to create new dataobject however without files attached to it. Page has has_many relation with filedataobject manager and I can attach files onlyvia cms. Here is my code:
Front end form
Page where files should be attached
DataObject code:
thanks in advance
Re: Bulk uploader on the front end

What you're trying to do is a little more complicated. It's hard to give you any guidance without seeing the interface, but I think what you want is to create the DataObject in the handleswfupload() function, create the File object, load the $_FILES data into the File object, then link the File object and the DataObject. You can also at that point link the DataObject to whatever page it is on. If the page is dynamic, you'll have to pass the current page ID to the handleswfupload() function using SWFUploadConfig::addPostParams() function.

Jason Varitek's not going to play any more.
Nobody seems to know how to measure a catcher's defensive value.
How are those two statements related?
Here's Over the Monster's (and Baseball Nation's) Marc Normandin on Varitek and the recent advances in measuring catcher defense, with most of the math stripped out (by me):
Jason Varitek has long been lauded for his ability to handle a pitching staff and call a game. This praise has all been anecdotal, as catcher defense as most of us know it is still very simple when represented statistically. Varitek doesn't get any credit for his perceived ability to call a game when defensive statistics focus on his ability to throw out runners and catch pop ups behind the plate.
Since he has struggled over the years throwing out runners, and has been nowhere near as effective at the plate in his later years, the whole pitching staff handling theme seemed more like a defensive reaction from his proponents to prop up Varitek's value and purpose, rather than a legitimate point in his favor. When you can't measure something, you often take it for granted as being unimportant. But that's not the case: it often just means we haven't figured out what it's worth yet.
It's a rough sketch, but whereas Varitek was considered worth -3 runs by FRAA from 2008-2011, when combined with Marchi's figures, he's worth nearly six wins in the same stretch. That would put Varitek's overall value at over eight WARP, rather than the 2.6 he posted over the last four years. He would be around six wins via Baseball-Reference, and nearly seven wins according to Fangraphs. That's a significant difference, and shows that Varitek was still productive, even at the end of his career.
There's a dissonance here, right? If Varitek's been worth 6-8 Wins Above Replacement over the last four seasons -- and that's while playing just semi-regularly -- why is everyone letting him retire? Shouldn't teams have been lined up outside his house all winter, begging to give him $6 million to play this year?
Well, of course most teams aren't yet buying into these cutting-edge catcher metrics. But the Red Sox must have their own. And yet Kelly Shoppach will be the backup catcher this season, while Jason Varitek goes off and does whatever ex-catchers do when nobody appreciates their veteran game-calling skills any more.
All of which is just an excuse for me to point out there's still a lot we don't know, but guys are working on it. And when the guys figure that out, there will be something else.

On the 18th October 2013, as the Arctic 30 faced their 30th day of imprisonment by Russian authorities, nearly 10,000 people took to the streets at 85 events in 36 cities to call for their immediate release. A Russian court has charged the Arctic 30 (twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance videographer and photographer), with piracy, punishable for up to 15 years in prison.For more info: www.greenpeace.org/freeouractivists

Sioux City's police chief isn't the only one calling for Dean to turn himself in, so are his parents.
"I want to apologize to Mike McCormick and his family. I'm very sorry with what happened, what went down. We want to say we're very sorry to his family. I've known Mike for years, so I would plead out to my son that he would just turn himself in," said Lee Dean, father of Jamal Dean.
Tuesday night, the family of Jamal Dean addressed the media and asked for his return.
The family said no one else needs to get hurt and begged for Jamal to turn himself in.
Dean's aunt tried to stay positive by saying, "this can be fixed."
"We're going to stand by you. It's a terrible thing that's happened, but no one has died and just call one of the family members so we can help you get safe passage and so you can do the right thing," said Barbara Dean, Jamal Dean's aunt.
Dean is wanted on a charge of attempted murder for firing eight shots at police officer Kevin McCormick.

Although he has not yet had the opportunity to show his road-course prowess in the NCWTS, Miguel Paludo (32 Chevrolet Silverado) is by all accounts a road-course expert.
After winning his first Atlanta race in his first attempt in 2001 and sweeping the top five that season, Harvick struggled on this track until 2008. Since then, he has earned eight top-15s in the past nine races.
Three teams that compete in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series – the No. 00, 19, and 30 – have been penalized for post-race infractions committed following the Aug. 21 race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Beginning on Sept. 7, 12 drivers will compete in the five-race (Desafío) battle to decide the 2014 NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series champion.
No matter how a player handicaps the Oral-B USA 500 at Atlanta, Jeff Gordon should be considered a top choice. He has a perfect record of top-10s on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks this year and enters the weekend with three consecutive top-10s at Atlanta.
Justin Boston seized the day Sunday at Madison International Speedway, winning the Herr's Live Life with Flavor 200 for his second ARCA Racing Series win of the season.
Kyle Busch drew a pit road speeding penalty on lap 63, which put him in heavy traffic. He was unable to move forward, and was in the eye of the storm on lap 126 when he was swept into a Brian Vickers vs. Kyle Larson accident. His day never improved and he finished 36th.
Fighting apparent handling issues, Jeff Gordon went from being a top-five contender in the early stages of the Irwin Tools Night Race to fighting simply to stay on the lead lap in the final minutes. He lost that battle and finished 16th Saturday night.
Kyle Larson was the top finishing rookie in Saturday's Irwin Tools Night Race, but his weekend was not without drama. He finished 12th after rolling off the grid 40th.
Brad Keselowski finished 0.391 seconds behind teammate Joey Logano to complete a sweep of the top two positions for Penske Racing.
Joey Logano took the lead from Matt Kenseth with 50 laps remaining and held off a charge by his teammate Brad Keselowski to win the Irwin Tools Night Race. It was his sixth career win and first at Bristol.

How can I market feeder cattle through the CHB program?
Today cattlemen have more marketing options available to them than ever before. The key to marketing success is knowing which marketing option works best for you and your cattle and the willingness to do the research. Regardless of whether you market your cattle on a grid or on a cash basis, people in all segments of the industry are making it clear that if you want market price or to add value to your cattle, you must know how they perform in the feed yard and produce desirable carcasses. Once you have data on your cattle there may be genetic improvements that need to be addressed.
How many packing plants process CHB product?
Three plants process CHB cattle including Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc., located in Omaha, Neb., and two National Beef Packing Co. LLC plants, located in Dodge City and Liberal, Kan.
What is the Hereford Verified program?
It is a breed specific program that allows producers or feedlots to retain carcass data and a possible $3 per head return. Hereford Verified fulfills many producer, feeder, packer and CHB LLC needs – supply assurance, supply growth, quality assurance and source, age and breed verification. The program brings together all facets of the beef supply chain – producers, feeders and packers – to create an open market, reliable supply of Certified Hereford Beef® eligible cattle and pays real premiums to program participants.
Is Hereford Verified a source and age program?
How does a producer enroll in Hereford Verified?
Producers can enroll cattle at www.HerefordVerified.com. The form asks a series of questions about the genetics of the calves as well as size, sex and preferred sell date. Produces are given the option to purchase tags. The producer will need to purchase tags in order for them to be eligible for data and premiums. Tags are an EID that costs $1.85 per tag. Tags are only sold in increments of 25 per bag. This is a credit card purchase. In order for producers to receive data and premiums the cattle must be marketed through an approved feedyard and the cattle must be marketed as Hereford Verified cattle to the plant. National Beef in Dodge City and Liberal, Kan., are the only plants actively participating in Hereford Verified.

Blue Cross & Blue Shield NC History
Each state has its own Blue Cross and Blue Shield franchise. Most consumers logically think that they are one big insurance carrier. They actually are not. Each state has its own Blue Cross and Blue Shield company, and they work together or at least they're supposed to, so that if you travel out of state you will still have temporary coverage.
However if you move to another state, you would really need to apply to that state Blue Cross Blue Shield company in order to continuously have coverage or you will pay through the nose for a Blue Cross conversion plan.
The Blue Shield Association is a really incredible group made up of over 38 separate health insurance companies who insure over 100 million Americans, effectively making the Association the largest provider of health insurance benefits in the USA.
The first Blue Cross insurance company started in 1929, while Blue Shield was organized in 1939. Originally these were two separate companies, and the Blue Cross Association started in 1960, of course the Blue Shield Association was created in 1948 in both organizations merge creating one entity in 1982.
Originally Blue Cross covered charges related to hospital services and Blue Shield covered Dr. services. If you think about it that's very similar to how Medicare works. Medicare part a covers hospital charges and Medicare part B covers Dr. charges and outpatient care.
As a resident of North Carolina, you can apply for an individual and family health insurance policy from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina called the blue advantage plan. This is a quality health insurance product that utilizes a preferred provider organization or PPO, so that you can use in and out of network providers while enjoying the lowest out-of-pocket costs for using Blue Cross doctors.
If you're a healthy person you'll be happy to know that BCBSNC's Blue Advantage policy, will ensure you for the lowest rate possible in the state of North Carolina.
The great thing about this Blue Cross North Carolina health insurance plan is that even if you are not so healthy, they will still issue you coverage at a higher rate than what you applied for.
Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina and the NC Health Insurance Market Today
Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBSNC) have officially dominated the North Carolina private health insurance market. They insure over 3 million North Carolina residents including over 500,000 clients on behalf of out-of-state Blue Cross plans.

In 2013, our son-in-law presented us with an expensive all-weather, hand-stitched U.S. flag just before he was deployed to Afghanistan. We flew the flag faithfully and brought it in at nightfall while he was on tour.
On June 27, we installed a spotlight on the porch so it could fly day and night. In the early morning hours of July 5, our flag disappeared. I ask only that you would please return the flag to the standard that is still on the porch. No questions will be asked.
The U.S. flag stands for loyalty and beliefs, honor to self, service to country, respect for others and freedom for everyone. I pray that you wanted this flag for yourself. I will also pray that if some day you ever serve under this flag, you come home safely as did my son-in-law.

Believe it or not, the Christmas ads are out. One retailer is trying to get the holiday shopping season going in September.
While it might mean better deals for some, Kmart's bold move has stirred some negative reaction.
The commercial highlights the benefits of Kmart's layaway services, so that people can pay ahead.
While the company publicly acknowledges it's still early to be thinking about holiday gifts, Kmart says being able to pay off the bill for your presents over a longer period of time can be a plus for their customers.

As people wake up Wednesday, they will once again feel frigid temperatures in the single digits and teens.
Unlike Tuesday, we should see temperatures rebound quickly through the day. Highs in the Upstate will reach 40, while the mountains will get into the mid 30s.
With the warming temperatures, officials warn that pipes that have been frozen may thaw and cause some flooding issues. Plumbers and firefighters across the area were out on many calls Tuesday for similar troubles.
Drivers are also urged to use caution when prepping their cars before hitting the road amid the frigid weather. The South Carolina Highway Patrol said they were called to assist more than 600 stranded drivers statewide who had car troubles Tuesday.
But as the area starts to thaw out, drivers and homeowners may have several days of a reprieve from the extreme cold.
Thursday will have even warmer temperatures, as highs get into the mid 40s for the Upstate and around 40 in the mountains. Showers will be possible Thursday into Friday.
By the weekend, rain will go from scattered and light to heavy and widespread. Saturday evening will get some soaking rain, with 1 to 2 inches possible.

Neil Rackers kicked a 35-yard field goal with 3:24 left in overtime, and Matt Schaub's 497 set a franchise record Sunday as the Houston Texans improved to 2-0 with a 30-27 win over the Washington Redskins.
Report: Redskins OLT Williams suffers knee sprain
The Redskins' top pick from the 2010 draft, OLT Trent Williams, left the Week Two game against the Texans with a sprained knee.
Reports: Haynesworth inactive for Week Two
Redskins NT Albert Haynesworth is expected to be inactive for the Redskins' Week Two game vs. the Texans.

Portis comments on Jets investigation
Clinton Portis tells Washington radio that a woman will always feel out-of-place in NFL locker rooms because of the male-to-female ratio.
Lack of weapons in Washington makes McNabb a dud
The biggest trade of the offseason saw QB Donovan McNabb go from Philadelphia to Washington. But while the Redskins had hoped McNabb would be the answer to their offensive woes, that wasn't the case in Week One.
Cowboys' offense fails to finish drives at Washington
The Cowboys had a healthy 380 yards of offense but scored only seven points in a loss to the Redskins.
McNabb wins in Redskins debut, 13-7 over Cowboys
DeAngelo Hall returned a fumble 32 yards for a touchdown to end the first half, and the Washington Redskins needed an end-of-game penalty to hold off the Dallas Cowboys 13-7 Sunday night.

McNabb to start Sunday for Redskins
Donovan McNabb's ankle isn't fully healed, but the QB is healthy enough to make his Washington debut.
The Redskins on Tuesday agreed to a two-year deal Rocca, the 39-year-old former Australian rules football player who has played two seasons in Washington.||||||| The Redskins are traditionally an active player in free agency, but they have little money to spend because of a $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL for the way they structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. The second half of the penalty took effect Tuesday at the formal start of the new league year.
The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed Rocca to a one-year contract. Rocca had been the team's last unsigned restricted free agent. The deal was announced Thursday.||||||| The 36-year-old Rocca had a franchise-best 38.3 yards net average in 2009, breaking his single-season record of 37.9 set in 2008. He has averaged 42.6 gross yards per punt in his three seasons in Philadelphia while sending 74 punts inside the 20-yard line. Rocca played 15 years in the Australian Football League before joining the Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed punter Durant Brooks to a two-year contract, giving the incumbent Rocca some competition.||||||| Rocca has been Philadelphia's punter the last three seasons, but he had a net average of 38.3 yards per punt last season.

I heard on the news that the ps3 might have a compatibility problem with reading ps2 and ps1 games, hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounds.Sponsored Links
I heard on the news that the ps3 might have a compatibility problem with reading ps2 and ps1 games, hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounds.Sponsored Links
Cause i've moved to Curacao for my study and diddn't bring my PS2/PS1 i can only confirm FF12 to workSponsored Links
Yeah there seems to be rumors about backwards compatibility issues with several PS2/PS1 games. On the bright side, Sony aims to fix all these issues with a firmware upgrade before the launch on friday, so it shouldn't be too major a problem.Sponsored Links
As many as they can, the Guitar Hero bug wont be fixable... at least by firmware updates.
In all honesty, I own like 2 PS1 games and as long as they both work (or more importantly just FF VII) then I could care less. There are no PS2 games I care enough about to be saddened if they wont run on the PS3. I did however want to get MK Armageddon as that looks sweet.
I can't find my FFVII so i gues i forget it in The Netherlands, if i find it i can check it for you, but i got a JAP PS3 and a JAP FFVII so i dont know if the USA or EUR version will work if it works.
I've checked out Tales of the Abyss (JAP), FF12 (JAP), KH2(USA). However, the US games don't play on the JAP ps3. The Japanese PS3 is still region locked for ps1 and ps2 games, and some of the odd japanese ps2 games play without sound. However some of these games are fixed by not using an hdmi cable... However, some of the games also don't work. Sony plans on fixing some of these problems in a later update. anyway, thats the situation.
I got great news, JAP PS3 runs;
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
All Japanese and all the original first PS1 release.
Final Fantasy XII
Japanese to and of course the first version, not a other version out anyway.
I read today that only 200 games run improperly or don't work at all. Which is something like 2% of all games. Could be worse.
yes but some are large release titles such as Gran turismo 4 and Tekken 5 so the problem will widely affect PS3 consumers which will = a lot of ticked off gamers.

Despite a recent slip, the Miami Marlins likely still think they are in the thick of things in the competitive NL East and the NL Wild Card race. But the Marlins could use both a little more pop in their lineup and a bit more consistency from their bullpen. They addressed the former concern on Wednesday, reportedly by trading for Carlos Lee.
Sources: The Marlins are trading Matt Dominguez and P Rob Rasmussen for Carlos Lee.— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 4, 2012
Lee will head from Houston, where he has been one of the more reliable contributors for a team that has struggled to stay within spitting distance of .400, to Miami and a squad that was 9.5 games back of the Washington Nationals at the beginning of Wednesday.
Lee has a .287/.336/.411 triple-slash to go with five home runs on the year, but any little bit of help is welcome in Miami. The Marlins had scored just 314 runs, worst in the NL East, entering July 4.
Dominguez had been considered a top prospect since being taken in the first round of the 2007 MLB Draft, but had just four extra-base hits in a brief September stint with Miami in 2011. Rasmussen was taken in the second round of the 2010 MLB Draft, but is likely a long-term project.
For more on the Marlins, cast out a line for Fish Stripes. For more on the Astros, head to Crawfish Boxes and SB Nation Houston.

text: That's three teams doing it now then! Peng-Zhang, Sui-Han and Antipova-Maisuradze. How exciting! I wish Antipova-Maisuradze got rid of the sbs doubles though. She used to be a singles skater, not particularly gifted the way the current juniors are (she didn't qualify for Russian nationals) but I did see somewhere on youtube a video of her doing a program with 3T-3T. So I am not sure why they do now double-double combination. I have to say that I didn't like Antipova's skating last year because she kept regularly looking down on the ice and didn't project at all, but this year it has been fixed and she improved a lot. She is only 15 or 16 so she may not have finished with puberty but if she doesn't grow and doesn't start struggling with her jumps, I can imagine that they could seriously fight with Bazarova-Larionov and Stolbova-Klimov for their spots. And I think next season Tarasova-Morozov, Gainedt.-Bitch and Davankova-Deputat have to move to seniors. It will be quite overcrowded in Russian pairs on the senior level. I think we will see now Martiusheva-Rogonov and Gerboldt-Enbert less and less.

At the time of this review, this is #1 on the "Top Beers - Scottish Gruit / Ancient Herbed Ale" list on beeradvocate.com. Another #1 beer hooray! Shared by Thorpe and served in a snifter.
Yellow, hazy, lazy head, no lacing, low carbonation. Looks fine.
Aroma is surprisingly Brett-y, with spice and herbs in there at as well.
Beer is light in body, oaky and bretty on the finish, nice tasting, very strong flavors, nice spice palate, overall a nice beer and I'd have it again.

Bottle at the other night's Upright tasting. Served in a Mikasa tulip.
Bottle 132/166
Pours a sparkling, clear yellow color with an average, fizzy white head that diminishes fairly quickly into a thin collar with some sparse lacing on the sides of the glass.
The nose brings some delicate herbs with some gin in the background. A bit of citrus there as well. The flavor has a long duration with a very light sweetness plus a small dose of tartness. Light bitterness as well. Everything seems to be coming together, yet it's all fairly subtle.
The body is light with high carbonation, leaving to a dry finish. Through the finish comes some additional gin and herb character plus a light burst of citrus.
A very interesting and delicious beer that I was glad to try. Here's hoping that Upright makes this one again.

Huge thanks to Thorpe for busting out this big-time Want to kick off our Upright Sole Composition tasting.
Beer pours a slightly hazy golden-yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is very interesting, a great mix of lactic sour, spices (not sure I can identify which ones) and a hint of sweetness. The taste on this is absolutely fantastic and unique. It's much more lactic sour than I expected, but the gin and spices really come through on the back end. As it warms, it gets a little sweeter and the spices become more prominent. Mouthfeel is light-medium bodied with nice carbonation, and it coats your mouth in a nice way for a lighter beer. Overall, this isn't exactly what I was expecting (thought it would be a lot more gin-forward), but it was fantastic nonetheless and had a mix of flavors that I've never found together in a beer before. One of the best things Upright's done so far.

Bottle 132 of 166. Poured into a Bruery glass. Huge thanks to thorpe429 and starrdog for all the Upright bottles we were able to crack.
A - Light golden color with thin bubbles that dissipate to a small layer.
S - A really interesting combination of spices. Really tough to pick out individual spices present. There is also a hint of lacto on the nose.
T - Wow. A huge melange of spices up front followed very quickly by a nice tartness. The combination sounds odd but really works so well in this beer.
M - Really light and wispy on the tongue. Really high drinkability.
O - An incredibly interesting, complex, and drinkable beer. This really was one of the standouts amongst the 8 bottles we had. So unique. I've never had anything like this before. Definitely worth seeking out if you like tart, spice, Upright, or a combination of all of those things.

This bottle comes from Inflatablechair (23/166) .. Thanks for this one-off Sam!! Pours a lightly hazed pale yellow with a good white head that drops quickly .... no real retention or lacing.
Nose is very spicy... juniper and sage... something that I associate with geraniums... green apple.. tart and a bit floral.
Flavor is herbal and a bit sour... tannic underripe pit fruits.. lemony... obvious juniper.... some "turkey herbs"... I swear I get sage and even rosemary.. nasturtiums... peppery and a bit floral.
Boutique Gin for sure... Loved this one... inviting and very drinkable.... sorta like an aperitif.. God, I would love to be able to try this one again over a long evening.

Chilled bottle into a glass, courtesy of hopsbreath and/or ramnuts -- I forgot who sent this one. Thanks, Jason and Frank!
A: A pale straw body with good clarity and a wispy, off-white head. It doesn't leave any lace.
S: An herbal juniper (gin) note greets the nose, backed by an assortment of rosemary and ginger. A small presence of apricot.
T: Barrel-dominated juniper / gin flavors segue into a mild tartness of apricot, lemon, and grape. Herbal flavors dominate the mid-palate, including what I believe is rosemary (no one else was convinced of this) and ginger.
M: The mouthfeel could use a little more carbonation to scrub the palate. The strong (but unique!) flavors of the barrel linger on the palate and leave residue after a number of sips. It makes it a little hard to drink in quantity.
O: Great beer, and a real eye-opener. Having had a number of Upright beers in the past and being somewhat unimpressed by them. I found this a refreshing change of pace. Well done.

Thanks, Alex! Poured into Narke tulip.
A - Pours a golden yellow color, white head, thin cap, light spotty lace.
S - Herbal notes, gin, tonic, some funk, nice level of tart notes in there as well. Really unique and interesting...very cool.
T - Gin & tonic, plain and simple. Also, some stone fruit, apricots, and light bretty funk. Like the nose, really unique and cool...not something I could keep drinking a lot of though.
M - Light body, good carbonation, dry finish.
O - Really enjoyable and unique. Well-done beer by Upright. I continue to believe this brewery is really under-the-radar yet most of their stuff is just simply excellent. This one is another winner!

I don't know who shared this, kind of lost track after a while who was pulling out what.
A - Yellowish orange colored beer that was a bit hazy. A bit of lace left on the sides.
S - Some gin, little bit of grape, some interesting herbs, little bit of gin.
T - Taste is actually pretty nice, particularly considering how much I generally don't like gin. Some nice stone fruits, bit of gin, herbs, and pale malts.
M - Lively carbonation, more body than expected, I'd say medium.
O - Nice beer, found it easy to drink, particularly given my few experiences previous with a gruit. Good stuff, would drink again.

Bottle #160/166. Served in a Glunz taster glass.
A - A finger of white foam settles to a thick collar, wispy thin cap, and minimal lacework. Hazy orange-yellow body.
S - Gin and tonic, 7Up, ginger, juniper, and other nebulous herbs. Slight lactic character and bretty pineapple funk. Very unique, and strangely compelling.
T - Taste is pretty similar - a mixture of tonic water, lemons, gin, and nebulous herbs over top of a sweet pale malt and stone fruit backbone. Not quite as much of the funk character that I picked up in the aroma, but still quite enjoyable. More of a 4.25, so I had to fudge the other scores a tiny bit.
M - Zesty carbonation, medium-light body, a bit gritty, dry clean finish, and no obvious alcohol even with the gin flavors.
D - This was quite excellent, and was super-refreshing after a bunch of bigger stouts and barleywines. I probably could have drank the entire bottle on my own. I really hope Upright revisits this beer as I found it extremely successful and provocative.

Bottle #163/166.
A: Very, very clear. Light golden color, almost like a chardonney. Slight white head. Plenty of bubbles floating to the top, which was nice to see given the seal was cracked the day earlier.
S: Ahh, the gin flavors are still there, although perhaps a little more subdued. Too bad. But still, nice botantical flavors with a hint of citrus tartness. But still plenty of green, juniper notes. I'm reminded why I really liked this beer when it was first released.
T: A funky tartness hits early on the taste, more so than expected from the smell. The herbal, gin flavors are more subdued than I remember. Definitely dry with some nice stone fruit flavors. The gin comes to play in mid to late taste with more astringent, floral flavors on the finish. After six+ months, this beer is still amazing. Or Gruit, if you insist.
M: Light, crisp, and very enjoyable. Not sure what the mouthfeel is supposed to be for a gruit, but this worked on release and six months later.
O/D: I liked this beer at release. I liked this beer when first released in bottle. I like this beer now. A lot. I really wish this was a regular offering. I really enjoy gin and the botantical flavors this adds to the beer are amazing. This goes down as one of the best beers of 2011. 166 bottles??? Ten times that amount wouldn't be enough, in my opinion.

A big thanks to jedwards for sharing this. Definitely a highlight of the night. Bottle # 72 out of 166. Pours a hazy tangerine hue with a thin, bright white head that dissipates into a skim. Nose expresses tart citrus, chamomile and some other herbal qualities I can't quite pin down. Taste is citrusy, salty, tart and less herbal with a light bitterness. Mouthfeel is light in body with a tart, crisp finish and a slight acidity that lightly stimulates the salivary glands along the cheeks. Well, I can't say that I have much experience with the style, but I was blown away by this beer. Surprisingly flavorful and quite refreshing. Well worth your time if you can track down this rare brew.

Thanks a lot, Jason!
Poured into a sniffer. A gin barrel aged Gruit? Right up my alley.
A: Looks like white wine, like a Chardonnay. Small bubbly white head. Good clarity.
S: Lactic peaches with a moderate sour quality with accompanying juniper. The gin is pronounced. Slight musty quality.
T: Moderate lactic sourness with notes of peach and apricot. Citric acidity is at a lower moderate level. Very dry. Less gin than I detected in the flavor. A little juniper.
M: Sticky and dry. Light in body. Upper low carbonation. A little thin.
Overall: An interesting beer with unique attributes. Pretty damn good for a Gruit.

PROSPECTIVE investors are always welcome at Oxford United, but the club is not up for sale.
Ian Lenagan receives regular approaches from people claiming to be interested.
But while the U's chairman is willing to hold discussions, he is aware many will not be genuine.
"We get them every couple of months, I had another one this week who might be real, or might not be real," he said.
"I always have a simple view, I will talk with anybody who wants to get involved with Oxford United.
"Do I want to sell Oxford United? No, I don't."

Yes, 5 stars to a Japanese death metal band that no one has ever heard of. This album is pretty hard to find where im from in the midwest. I rarely meet someone who has heard of Sigh which is a shame because they are one of the most talented, creative, and original bands ive ever heard. The guitar work is incredible and every instrument is played with precision and beauty yet still has a rough, pounding, eerie aura to it. Sigh isnt just your normal guitar, drums, and bass either. They play so many different instruments on this album i cannot even name them all. The only downside is the vocals which really arent bad but with music this beautiful it needs a little bit of a break from the high shrieking and could use some singing. This is not radio-friendly music but i will keep it on my top 10 list for years to come. Buy it!!
Sigh Biography - Sigh Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands

This reissue features a full remastering by Scott Hull and completely new artwork by the master, Christopher Moyen. The CD also includes the Requiem For Fools 7 (1992) and the split 7 with Kawir (1994). None of this material has been on CD ever before.

Excellent review by Raisedfist. This is an outstanding Black Metal album by a band that not many people know of. These guys bring the samurai swords and rapier blades to Black Metal instead of the usual spiked bat and connan-style swords most Black Metal bands wield. Not that those bands aren't cool, I really enjoy listening to Dark Funeral, Marduk, Emperor's early material, Dark Throne to mention a few. But this here is something else, and trust me once you get used to this cd, it will be one of your favourite Black Metal albums. The sound is typically early 90's black metal, but the way this band plays is not typical against any black metal I've heard before.
I once bought this cd before and returned it because it didn't really appeal to me because I was used to the sounds of the Swedish and Norweigian black metal bands, and this sounded so different and hard to absorb. But as time passed I remembered that I had one song of this album on a Black Metal compilation called Blackend Vol 1. After listening to that song a few times more I had realized that I had made a big mistake returning that cd. Then one day I found it in a second hand store and grabbed it.
The songs on this album are nothing like later SIGH. This is pure black metal with keyboards coming in sometimes (not like Cradle Of Filth) These guys are much more relaxed than your regular black metal band, but the darkness and anger are present, even if one might not hear it straight away. The songs are not blistering fast like that of Dark Funeral, but they do reach a climax sometimes which is very exciting. Of all the black metal bands I've heard the ones this is most similar to is early Marduk and early Dark Throne, and as you know those are two completely different bands and are still so diffent to SIGH even more then each other.
The cover is also very cool, it's one of the band members holding a sword in one hand and the other hand is on fire, he is near a lake and it looks cold, due to the entire photo being in black and white with a light green/blue tint, and the fire on his hand is in colour. This is one of my favourite cd cover art.
I have just uploaded the cd cover onto Amazon's website, to see it click on the link that says 'see 1 customer image' which is below the empty space where the pic usually is.

The attorney for a children's pastor accused of sexual abuse filed several motions at a hearing Thursday, including a motion to dismiss, which a judge struck down.
Jeffrey Eddie faces a list of charges including sodomy, child sexual abuse, and child porn. He was the administrator and children's pastor at Highland Park Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals.
The attorney then filed a motion to lower Eddie's bond, as well as a motion for the court to appoint an indigent attorney to represent Eddie further, stating his client has no money with which to keep his current representation. These motions are still pending.
According to court documents filed in this case, a church employee first witnessed Eddie involved in suspicious behavior Jan. 22. That person didn't notify church leaders until five days later on Jan. 27. The documents then say on Jan. 29, church leaders approached Eddie about the allegations and asked to review his church-issued electronics. On Feb. 1, church leaders reported finding pornographic material, which was when police were called.
District Attorney Bryce Graham said that at this time, they have no reason to believe the church violated any laws in reporting Eddie.
Before working as a pastor, Eddie worked at the Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention Facility. Officials said Eddie left the facility in 1999 to work full time at Highland Park Baptist Church.
The administrator says the facility has not had any reports of sexual assaults and it is equipped with cameras and recording equipment to ensure the safety of all residents and staff. They said they never had any allegations against Eddie.
The facility's administrators said, "The
Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention facility would like the victims,
families and the members of Highland Park Baptist Church to know are hearts are
with them."

Shuttle-tracking Service Project
University of California, Berkeley, 2003 - $19,989
This E-Team looked to make the UC Berkley shuttle system safer and more convenient by developing a shuttle tracking service. The service provides the location of Berkeley shuttles to students and other riders through a central server connected to the internet. Each shuttle transmits its location data via a built-in GPS device to internet access points situated throughout the shuttle routes. Users can access the location data with their cell phones, through the web, or on public display boards placed near campus buildings.
The team consisted of three students specializing in electrical engineering and computer science, business administration, and bioengineering. One professor of engineering and five industry advisors aided the students in areas of design, marketing, and safety.

4/5 rDev +3.9%
A very dark brown, nearly black beer with a thick cafe au lait head. A bit of lace. Sweet chocolate aroma, and noticeable whiskey. Mostly tasted of sweet chocolate, some vanilla. A bit of espresso late. I could also taste the alcohol in the background. Pretty smooth beer. Would buy it again.

These big beers aged in whiskey barrels just kick me in the sack, in a pleasant way. If ya luv bourbon, like Jim Beam, this is the brew for you. (Cant wait to try the local OFallon BASP).
A big ol brew, poured jet black with cola brown edges. Nice tan head and laces.
Then, WHOO, the enticing aroma of Jim Beam sour mash bubbles up through the chocolate coffee vapors. Superb. The taste was just top notch of the sour mash mixing with the porter malt backbone. Raisins, cherries also make an appearance. Just a hint of alcohol, nicely presenting itself.
How this rated below a 3 for some is beyond my feeble mind. Man! Wish I had cellared a couple of these critters.

3.03/5 rDev -21.3%
Pours a dark creamy brown with a solid two-fingered head. Retention is very good eventually receding to a thick cap with solid lacing left in its wake that quickly rejoins the cap.
The smell is very boozy. Bourbon and alcohol are right out front assaulting the nose. If I didn't know better I would say this is some sort of liqueur. Just a touch of dark malt and cherries can be detected hiding behind the booze.
This beer took on too much of the flavor of the bourbon barrel. Hardly tastes like a beer at all. If you don't like whiskey, stay far away from this beer. It is strongly flavored of whiskey. Some of the more background flavors are chocolate malt and a roasted, smokey flavor. It finishes sweet until the alcohol warming takes affect. Feels medium body and has a creamy, coating quality.
I would consider this a beer based liqueur by the intense whiskey aroma and taste. Just too much for me to consider drinking this again. The ABV is lower than the taste would lead you to believe. Knock the whiskey qualities in half and this would be more my thing.

Appearance - pours black, two+ fingers of light mocha foam sitting on top. Nice hold at a half-finger and some good wavy lacing to boot.
Aroma - intensely oaky to the point of drowning out all other smells. A heady alcohol vapor mixed in also. An occasional whiff of chocolate but the wood here is very strong, too strong.
Taste - some decent chocolate malts to start. Slightly sweet, they are quickly replaced by an intensely woody flavor. Did they add 'Liquid Oak'? It's a big block of wood in handy liquid form. Some chocolate following and a good measure of abv warmth. The swallow has some balancing bitterness but the oak never lets up and allows anything else to blend in. I guess after a number of bourbon barrel beers, it's different to taste just the oak without the whiskey, but I don't care a whole lot for it. While waiting a bit before sips, I do notice at long last a slow emergence of bourbon as an aftertaste. Quite good but it takes a while to develop, so there's a bit of redemption for this one. And as with many higher abv brews, after a bit of palate adjustment, the flavors are more amenable.
Mouthfeel - good mouthfeel; smooth, slightly heavy.
Drinkability - I can appreciate the effort in making it, but it's not up my alley.
Appearance - all black pour, a dense mocha head of about a finger or so, insulating quite well. Thick rings of lace on this one. 5.0
Aroma - chocolate covered bourbon balls. The chocolate fades to something a bit smoky, the bourbon stays right where its at. Hmmm, beer or bourbon? 3.5
Taste - sweet and chocolatey at first, like Kahlua. Alcohol warming on the swallow, roasted malts and sweetened bourbon take over. Finishes with a dry sweetness, bittersweet chocolate, and one of the most pleasant alcohol infusions running through it all. 5.0
Mouthfeel - insanely smooth from the first sip. The heaviness goes well with the sweetness and "bigness" of the flavor. 5.0
Drinkability - for the bourbon-loving sweet tooths out there, this is a treat. Quite approachable for a beer of this style and crafting. 5.0

S - dark roasted malt, vanilla, burnt sugar

M - typical of a porter - lower carbonation, very smooth
D - since the label doesn't list it, I would have no idea this is 12%abv. the barrel aging and the 2 years of aging since has done it wonders, as this honestly tastes no stonger than your typical 4% or 5% session porter

2.88/5 rDev -25.2%
22 oz bomber. Pours a fairly dark brown color with a 3 finger tan head over top that falls to about a finger before settling. The brew is murky, with a moderate cascade of bubbles maintaining the head. Nose brings prominent sour notes, reminding me more of a sour brown than a porter of any type. Behind that I find some deeper roasted and lighter chocolate notes with a light alcohol blanked in the background. As it warms, this become more clear on the aroma. There are definate aggressive alcoholic whiskey notes in this one. Moderate vanilla tones sit over top of coffee and chocolate. Not quite what I was expecting on the nose with this one from the initial pour, but after letting it sit and come to stasis, it is okay. Flavor is interesting. The sourness is there, but more subdued. My initial impression is that the alcohol really stands out in this one. I get an initial hint of it as I first sip the beer, but after swallowing the brew, it really hits almost like a spirit, in my sinuses and then as a moderate burn in my stomach. Outside of this, I find some chocolate and roasted notes, with a very mild fig that rounds things out. The aftertaste is a little solvent-like due to the alcohol as well, making this less than desirable. I would have to say that the alcohol detracts pretty heavy on this one. Mouthfeel is thick, with a light to moderate carbonation that serves to break it up a little. As I said, this one lights up my stomach a bit, even leaving traces of heat in my esophagus. Overall, this one just isn't captivating my senses. At 7.8%, it should not be as aggressive on the alcohol as it is. I am not sure if the sourness is supposed to be there or not. I may grab another bottle now that its on shelves near me and see if this is a product of the bottle I have or if it is chronic.

This porter is nearly black if not black. With a generous tan head that leaves behind trace amounts of spotty lacing.
Aromas are big in bourbon almost overly so. Hints of vanilla, bitter choclate, roasted malt, and some dark fruits.
Malty malty porter. Much of the flavor and complexities of this beer seem to be hidden behind a vail of bourbon and oak. Still good flavors of bitter choclate, vanilla extract, black currant, smoke, tobacco, and some meaty earthy flavors.
Mouthfeel is good but not great. Again the bourbon leaves this once out of whack making a somewhat undesirable mouthfeel but not making it bad. This isn't one I'm going to drink an abundace of but worth a try.

Pours out an opaque black Stout color with a decent head of cream with lots of big bubbles on top. Laces in patches and smaller marks. Aroma has Irish coffee elements, some reminders of red wine and oak from the barrel conditioning. Mouthfeel is nice to begin with, creamy with subdued carbonation. Flavor features lots of bitter dark chocolate with a snap of vinous raisins and current and highlighting the bourbon casks. It also has good persistance, but perhaps the carbonation (initially smooth) seems a little too active at the end. Plenty of aftertaste, perhaps with a small touch of hops re-inforcing the roasty bittering of the brew, along with some smokey whiskey flavors. Arcadia has a wide range of beers to my tastes, this one works for me.

I found this 22oz brown bomber bottle at the Binny's store in Plainfield, IL for $7.99.
2007 vintage opened in 2010.
The beer pours a dark brown, almost black color, with a touch of ruby red highlights when held to light. It made a huge 4-finger fast rising light brown head, so be careful with the pour. The head lasts several minutes and leaves tons of thick lacing - resembling a root beer float.
Nice whiskey/raisin smell along with some wood, cocoa, and faint coffee aromas.
The whiskey/raisin taste dominates, but there are plenty of other flavors in here as well. Roasted and even burnt malts provide balance along with some vanilla and cocoa for sweetness. Hop bitterness is low but there is some in here. A very tasty porter with a whiskry/alcohl kick.
Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a warming alcohol feel to it The low to moderate carbonation is a bit odd for a porter, but it seems to work well here.
At 12% alcohol you would think this one would be a sipper, but I had no trouble quaffing down a few big gulps.

Pours jet black with a tan foam head and splashy lace. Alcohol tears.
Charred malt nose, moderate strength, some black strap molasses.
Big charred malt up front, with scorched coffee and bitter chocolate. An immediate sour note, then alcohol, then bitter dark malt at the end. You get the oak, which is great considering the strength of the other flavors.
Fuller bodied, tongue coating.
Very nice, with a good punch of intensity.

Nice deep brown color-slight cocoa colored head on top. Very oakey and whiskey like aroma. Good flavor-some roasted malt against a huge whiskey flavor. Tends to be over done for my own personal liking. Oak flavor is way up front as well. Decent level of lactic sweetness-comes across as a sweet stout in spots. Nice body-very smooth and the sweet stout quality balances the overdone oakiness and whiskey. Quite drinkable though not my thing all around. Enjoyable-I would recommend in small doses for sure.

4.22/5 rDev +9.6%
Appearance: Poured into a Sam Smith Tulip, huge 2" head, slow fading, billowy, atop a coal black body that allows no light.
Smell: The rich wood scentss are immediately evident, smoke, coffee, chocolate, many stout qualities here, but maybe that is because I have never had a barrel aged porter.
Taste: At first it is a little bewildering. The flavors all mix together and take a little while to work through. I do like the beer, though, the barrel realyl adds charachter and bite to the beer. The porter flavors are a little more subdued that a stout in it's place, but it stands up well to pairing with charred oak. The alcohol is strong, but is is a good beer voerall.
Drinkability-Mouthfeel: A little bit thinner than you would expect, creamy and lightly carbonated. I hope Arcadia continues this line, I appreciate them branching out.

08 vintage bomber
A- Pours pretty black, with hardly any head and very little lacing.
S- Roasted Malts stick out first follow by some very sweet chocolate, way sweeter then any porter i have ever had, could tell this baby had some alcohol in it but it wasn't overpowering.
T-Super sweet chocolate and roasted malts steal the show on this one. You can tell your drinking a big beer but it doesn't taste the slightest bit hot.
M- Typical porter mouth feel, nothing to different going on here
D- For being a 12% Baltic porter it drinks very well, with beers like this i consider being able to drink a bomber by yourself fairly drinkable, this goes down to easy
Overall I am glad i decided to try this brew, will be on the lookout for this and any other of the beers in Arcadia's big beer series. This is the only other Blatic porter i have ever tried besides gonzo form flying dog, this was tastier and will try and seek out more beers this style.

I didn't realize that this was a whiskey barrel aged beer before I tried it - so that first sip was a shocker. It pours a very dark color with a moderate head that falls quickly and leaves a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma has a lot of dark malt character with chocolate, but the whiskey comes through as well to create a complex combination. Quite sweet and flavorful flavor with plenty of dark roasted malts combining with a very strong whiskey/bourbon flavor. The body is medium and the drinkability is ok considering the extremely strong flavor of the whiskey.

A great night of porters thanks to mughugger for bringing this beer. After the Gonzo it seemed a tad lack-luster certainly a terrific beer. Thanks Karen.
Appearance: Pours a dark almost black color with a chocolaty brown head that has great retention and leaves loads of lacings in the glass.
Smell: Chocolate malt, boozy vinous alcohol, port, roasty coffee.
Taste: Dark port chocolate grape flavor with a roasted malt a espresso feel on the cheeks, and a splash of vanilla and toffee. The best attribute is the warm alcohol finish.
Mouthfeel: Light (for a BP) and roasty, with a pleasant dry feel.
Drinkability: This is a very easy drinker that won't fill you up too quickly.
Hope this is helpful.

Mohagany black color with a cappucino brown head. Settles to a layer of foam atop the liquid. Aroma is strong on the bourbon barrel notes. Lots of vanilla sweetness and woody esters along with a twinge of alcohol. It's all a bit sharp with some roastiness. It really comes out at you. Taste is also on the strong side. Honestly there's not a whole lot of porter in this beer. The bourbon barrel aging really dominates. And I'm not a big time whiskey fan esp. for beers but this one is quite good. It's more of a vanilla/oak flavor rather than whiskey, which just seems to compliment. Not a whole lot of depth or subtlety but I really enjoyed this beer and that's what it's all about in the end. Different, give it a try.

Thanks go out to SPLITGRIN for this one.
Pours from the 22oz bottle into a pint glass. Burnt caramel color beer with dark, glazed carrot colored highlights. Tan colored head, about half finger in size. No lacing, head disappears somewhat slowly.
This one certainly smells like a bourbon barrel aged porter. Bourbon aromas, vanilla, oakiness, plenty of sweetness. Smells fantastic.
More bourbon tastes. Almost too much bourbon but in my opinion, the perfect amount. Slightly alcoholic tasting though the alcohol warmth is missing, or atleast subdued.
Medium to full bodied, perfect carbonation. I really liked this one. I feel too many people may be turned off by the strong bourbon flavors and aromas but it was right up my alley. A smooth sipper.

Arcadia seems to be either hit or miss so we'll see how this goes. Shipwreck Porter pours the darkest of browns bordering on black. A two finger incredibly creamy off white head forms on the pour and leaves the glass covered in sheet lacing on its way down although it falls to a cap. This is a really good looking beer.
Everything in the aroma is very appetizing but...there seems to be a sour milk character floating around in there and although not very strong or prominent does drop the score by a half point. Excluding the sour milk everything else seems to be good. Slight vanilla and oak from there barrel aging combines with roasty malts, mild cold coffee, and mild chocolate.
Luckily the sour milk isn't there in the flavor it's more of an enjoyable combination of coffee, chocolate, vanilla (from the oak), and oak all in that order from least to most intense. All these flavors are supporting a well rounded roastiness. Unfortunately as this beer warms the alcohol becomes a little too evident.
The barrel aging made for a really nice mouthfeel. Carbonation is on the lower end of the spectrum and the oak lends a velvety smoothness to the body.
This is a solid beer but the alcohol shows a little too much as it warms, which of course knocks the drinkability down a notch.
I really wanted to like this beer from the outset but it just seems to fall in the mediocre category. It's a little hard for me to get past the sourness in the smell and I believe that translates into me dropping the flavor score as well. All that said it's not a bad beer just one, if some tweaking was done, could be a lot better.

Poured this 22 oz. brown bottle into a Sierra Nevada hops glass. 2007 vintage. The body was dark brown/black. Clear of sediment with a creamy, uniform head. A cap remained throughout.
Smell was woody and chocolatey. Hints of brown sugar. Aroma of a drawer full of screws.
Taste was woody. There was a nice initial tartness followed by a lingering light sweetness. Hints of molasses, but not much. Well balanced and flavorful. Very well hidden alcohol. Drying in the end.
Mouthfeel was medium to light in body. Adequate carbonation with a smooth silkiness. Overall a nice porter.
