Ok, to cut a long story short, I recently overslept for a customer meeting despite setting my blackberry alarm and scheduling a wake up call with the hotel reception desk. My blackberry died ( yes died - even wiped my emails ) and the wake up call never happened. As a result I work to a nice blue sky when in fact it should have been dark and soon after that terrible sinking feeling hit me ... I've overslept !!! I won't bore you with the details but suffice it to say the rest of the morning was a bit of a blur - no breakfast, 10s shower & shave, painful fall as I sprinted out of the shower and no breakfast. I made the meeting but never, never again !
So, as I made my way back to Ireland, determined to never sleep in again I wondered if I should sign up for a reliable wake up service, get an alarm clock ( but I trusted my blackberry - how could it have failed !) or just never sleep again.
Luckily nothing so drastic is required. The Skype command line allows me to automate a wake up call with the following command and the Windows XP scheduler allows me to specify when that call happens.
I spotted the following interesting commentary ( albeit from 2006 ) on Open Source and how effective it can be as a sales model.
Open source gets downloaded by those who already have an interest in the product. It grows up, sheltered from initial budget, personnel, etc. restraints. People evaluate it on their own schedule, and subject to their own agenda. If it works, the IT group is able to show a growing (or fully grown, in some cases) "plant," rather than a packaged seed ("Guys, the vendor promised me this would work. No, he wouldn't show me any samples, and no, we can't touch it until we buy it, but he's such a nice sales guy....").
That's the beauty (or one beauty) of open source.
As a techie who is often one of those "interested evaluators" the pointy side of this model is that if you go this route then you had better make sure that your product is easy to understand, easy to install and provides a "wow" factor almost immediately out of the box. Unlike a lot of enterprise sales where PowerPoint does creates miracles - the guys evaluating your software know exactly what it's needs to do and will punch holes in it if not up to scratch :-)
Thanks to Kathy Siera at Passionate - I remember a similar curve being described, albeit in an IT Conversations podcast, by Clayton Christenson on capturing the upside where he discusses how smaller, more nimble companies can overtake established ones through disruptive innovation and delivering just what the market wants. It's all too easy for a company to fall into the "we need feature to add X, Y and Z to capture more market share" mind set when in fact they need to step back and ask what market they're in, whether it's still the same one they were in when they had the "Cool!" reaction and if not - are they still addressing that market.
It took a while but it looks like Skype have added Ireland to their list of countries with SkypeIn enabled. For those of you unfamiliar with the feature it allows you to purchase a local land line number that your friends can use from any phone and have the call directed to your Skype account. Great if you spend time abroad and want your mum/wife/husband/friends to call you cheaply - and even better for people who don't have Skype set up or prefer to use their mobile or land lines for calls.
Sample screenshots from the subscription process:
Spotted on the indo on August 20th and commented on by Antoin. So much for progress. For a country so small and a self proclaimed "knowledge economy" it's amazing we haven't managed to even put this in place. I wonder how we could approach this if the Irish geodirectory was opened up ... as a collaborative registry ?
"Plans to introduce a system of postcodes across the country have reportedly been postponed indefinitely by new Communications Minister Eamon Ryan.
Mr Ryan's predecessor, Noel Dempsey, had indicated that the ?15m scheme would be up and running by the start of next year.
Two reports have already been compiled and an extensive public consultation process has been carried out.
Ok, ok so I'm not really a fan of Microsoft software but I suspect I may just have found something to change my mind - Windows Live Writer, an offline blog editor that suspiciously seems to tick all the right boxes for me. Before changing the habit of a lifetime I'll spend a week putting it through it's paces but so far so good. Connecting to peerside using the Movable type API was seamless and it even picked up my sites theme ... watch this space.
Ok, so it's tabloid like headings but it's what I had to do. In order to try out a Visio driven app I needed to get my hands on Visio so off I went to the MS Office Trial site and to my delight they offer MS Office Visio 2007 ( amongst other office apps ) for trial download.
Great, but there's a catch. You have to select your region so the site can work out what language, code pages and address formats you should use. Nothing to strange there until I go and look for Ireland ... in the drop down list.
Nope, no Ireland under "i" - no worries, they've probably gone all PC and called it the "Republic of Ireland"
Update: Before I even had the chance to report the issue below Brian from Eventful.com was on the the issue and Tramore is now rightfully back where it beloings, in Waterford. Now that's what I call proactive customer service - nice one Brian!
Only a few hours from spotting a Google maps data quality blooper I stumbled across a similar location related issue while investigating the use of microformats. From the Technorati microformat search I found a single hCalendar reference for Tramore ( near where I grew up ) that had been published by Eventful.com here. Spot the blooper ? Tramore is actually in Waterford and not in Cork as Eventful.com claims in the "Where" field.
I'm not sure if this is a mistake by the person who entered the event ( doubtful, Ireland is too small to get that wrong ) or did the event address get "enhanced" along the way to become "Tramore, Co. Cork" instead of "Tramore, Co. Waterford" ? Who knows ... and that's the point - without realizing it Eventful.com or the event organizers have removed a portion of their audience who might travel to Waterford but not to Cork.
My 9-5 job is for a Data Quality company so it amused me to spot an obvious blooper on google maps recently, searching for "Bettystown, Meath, Ireland" returned the correct map but a corrected address for "Bettystown, Louth, Co. Louth, Ireland". Now I'm not a native Meath person but I'm sure pub brawls have broken out over less in and around the Louth/Meath border.
For the offending search results check out here.
As far as I know the data used by Google for Ireland is provided by Tele Atlas and highlights the lack of simple consistency checks. A quick scan of the suggested address should show that Bettystown is a town within Meath, not Louth, something they should be able to accomplish even without using the An Post geodirectory.
Nothing earth shattering but recently I noticed that when I used the command line in Windows XP I couldn't run system commands like cmd and notepad without explicitly providing the .exe extension. Not such a big deal until today when I started slicing and dicing some 2Gb data files from the command line and found that the same disease applied to commands like ls.exe, wc.exe etc. supplied by cygwin.
Much googling (is that a word ? ) later I found this post by Mike Henley that solved the issue.
I installed ActiveState TCL recently and apparently it has the nasty habit of adding a PATHEXT to your environments user variables which conflicts with the PATHEXT already set in the system variables. Simple workaround, delete the entry in the user variables and add .tcl to the PATHEXT entry in the system variables.
Considering Mike posted the resolution to this issue in 2002 it's concerning to see that ActiveState's release still triggers this behavior. Posting it here to persist the solution so others don't have to pull out their hair as much as I did.

With the past installments, the Resident Evil franchise has abandoned its survival horror claustrophobia for action gameplay akin to Gears of War and Dead Space. Those still pining for the days of tank controls and very limited inventory space will have to find solace in the PSOne games of the series. While I was not even remotely impressed with Resident Evil 5, I gave #6 a chance for the hell of it. Turns out, its not actually that bad.
Resident Evil 6 covers four characters as they have their own adventure. Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Ada Wong return while being joined by Jake Muller, a new character to the series. Much like Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, these four stories often cross each other, which gives the game extra replay value. These four leads are linked to stopping the spread of bio-hazardous agents in the aftermath of Umbrella being shut down.
Another element to the stories is that they feel different from one another. Ada plays as a moderate action thriller. Jake's plays more with stealth and hand-to-hand combat. Chris' game is heavy on the action with a lot of cover and shooting. Leon's game feels the most traditional, complete with zombies and eerie atmosphere.
Throughout the game, you'll collect skill points that can be used to upgrade your character. These have the appearance of chess pieces and exotic artifacts. These points can be used to upgrade your character. Increased damage with guns and melee attacks are available. You can add points to picking up more ammo or making it easier to shake off enemies. The Mercenaries mini-game is back and can help players gain skill points quicker.
One interesting option is the Agent Hunt mode. Here, you can go into another player's game as an enemy and try to take them down. This is a nice little throwback to the Outbreak series where you could become a zombie and attack your former teammates.
Survival horror as we knew it with the original Resident Evil series, as well as Silent Hill, is dead, for a lack of a better term. Following suit with the atrocious movies, there is an emphasis on action. I found the game to be enjoyable in steady hour long sessions. I can see why many are against the current format of the series. Yet, its not going to change back anytime soon.
The graphics are really sharp, although it can be ridiculously dark at times. The character models look good and current instead of dated. The camera wasn't an issue during combat or exploration. Between Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6, this one looks the best.
The controls are easy to pick up. Its simple switching between melee and guns in the inventory. Turning and running is responsive with little issue regarding responding to player controls. The only issue I had was aiming with the sniper rifle. If you thought aiming in Metal Gear Solid was bad, Resident Evil 6 is far worse. Using the Call of Duty method of holding your breath to steady your aim was a hassle in the heat of battle.
The sound design is a treat with the right surround sound system. Sound effects for guns and creatures punctuate the action. The music of Akihito Narita pays homage to past composer Masumi Ueda. Vocal talents feature the likes of Matthew Mercer, Roger Craig Smith, Troy Baker, Courtenay Taylor, and Eden Riegel. Recycling the sound effect from Devil May Cry for collecting skill points was a nice touch.
Resident Evil 6 won't convert opponents of the recent survival action turn of previous games. I still found myself playing the game even though its nowhere near as scary or as fun as Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The sixth game wasn't made for that generation of fans. If you're curious to the current state of the franchise, its worth a rental. If you've already made up your mind to not like current Resident Evil, you'd only be wasting your time.

New report shows Washington residents are more likely to be downwardly mobile
Like it? Share it!
Economic inequality is an oft-heard phrase around the nation these days. In a Dec. 4, 2013 speech, President Obama called growing inequality and a lack of upward mobility as "the defining challenge of our time."
It's a subject that hits close to home: While Washington state residents are as likely as the average American to move up the economic ladder, they are more likely than the average American to move down, according to a new study by the Economic Opportunity Institute (EOI).
About 32 percent of Washington residents experience downward mobility, compared to 28 percent of Americans, according to "Chutes and Ladders: How Economic Mobility is Changing in an Inequality Society," a study by EOI researcher Tatsuko Go Hollo.
Today only one-third of Americans experience upward mobility, defined as surpassing both their parents' income and relative position on the economic ladder.
Factors that influence Washington residents' economic standing include union membership, education, status at birth, race and the impacts of the Great Recession.
The "boom and bust nature of aerospace and high tech" has caused Washington's economy to be more volatile than that of the nation, Go Hollo writes. She predicts it will continue to be this way, citing recent moves by Boeing to relocate its headquarters and shift some manufacturing out of the state as a sign that "Boeing jobs will never again be secure."
Much of the aerospace industry in Washington is unionized, and union affiliation is another factor that can positively impact economic mobility. Washington has a relatively high rate of unionization, at 18.5 percent, but union affiliation has declined, mirroring the national trend. Go Hollo posits that this may increase downward mobility among middle and low-wage workers.
In Washington, the information sector has grown much faster than the rest of the nation, and more jobs in this industry raises the average wage and increases access to workplace benefits.
However, the fastest job growth in Washington comes at both ends of the spectrum. The Employment Security Department projects that high-earning engineers and low-wage home health aides will be among the fastest growing occupations between 2011 and 2021.
"The result of this bifurcated growth is that income disparities have grown wider over the last few generations," Go Hollo writes.
Education helps lift people to a higher economic level and those with a college degree are less likely to experience unemployment. Upward mobility is more likely with a college degree, downward mobility is more likely without one. But the cost of college has skyrocketed while government contributions have dwindled, leaving students to pick up the slack.
For students graduating from the University of Washington, the highest rates of debt are among those with the lowest household incomes. Undergraduates from families earning less than $25,000 per year graduate with an average debt of $21,256 in 2011, compared with $18,789 for students from families earning $75,000 or more in annual income. The average debt among Washington students graduating from four-year public institutions was over $20,000.
Another fact that comes into play is what the study calls "status at birth." Those from low-income households are less likely to attend and graduate from college, while those from middle or high income households are more likely to do so. Increases in home equity are associated with increases in college enrollment.
Race matters, too. African Americans are more likely to be born into the bottom of the economic scale and are less likely to move up than their white counterparts. This is still true even after controlling for education, health, and parental background. For the full report, go to eoionline.org.
CommentsBest report on the issue by far. Thank you for bringing this important issue to light.

I used my $2 in ECB on the Clear Men scalp therapy, are on sale 2 for $10, they had a $3 off coupon attached to them. They came to be $1 each ^_^
So if I have a 25% off my purchase coupon, will it not work on these because they are on sale? The fine print sales not valid on sale or promotional items…
That's correct. This is a sale price and the 25% off coupon will not apply.
Here in Ohio it's 3/$10 so to use the $3/2 coupon you would need to buy 6 which would be $20 then when you use 3 coupons 6 of them would only be $11!
I also found Pantene on clearance for $2 at Walgreens, $2.49 at another location. I did the same thing and got .50 RR. I may have gotten Pantene & HE mixed up, one was .50 RR, other was $1 RR.
I found an Herbal Essence spray on clearance at Walgreens for $2, and it was the only one. So I got a 2nd HE on sale for $3, used -$3 Q, paid $2 and got $1 RR!
I got my free coupon in the mail yesterday too! Plus I can use the $2 in ECB that CVS sent me yesterday! Woot!
Just checked…..no ECB deal for me but they are on sale 3/$10 which is still pretty good
I am new to CVS shooping and my store does ot have a coupon machine!!! Can I still get these coupons??? CVS extracare online?? What is that?
A couple of things: the "coupon machine" may be fooling you. It looks like an ordinary price scanner. But you scan your card and coupons will print out for you Be sure to scan at least twice!
Also, if you register your extra care card online, you will be able to access some of your coupons there!
Thank You!!!
i used up all my $3 off 2 coupons already! :/
Just got my coupon in the mail for free herbal essence shampoo! Hope this deals at my store!
Be sure to check your store's ad: At mine the sale is 3/$10, no extra bucks (I had seen this same deal elsewhere online and was disappointed that it wasn't offered at my store…I love the Instant Freeze hairspray!)
A lot of variation in the ads this week. Makes for one confusing week!
I got a 1/2 any shampoo or conditioner from cvs extracare online from like a week ago. Think im gonna use it today Which makes it .47 for each! Def a good deal!
Very nice!

Wonderful vacation rental!
We stayed at this property for eight nights while on vacation, and really enjoyed it. It is exactly as advertised in the photos and listing - very clean, well-equipped, and more than enough space for everyone to spread out. It was comfortable and centrally located to all of the sites and attractions on our itinerary, including San Francisco, Marin County and the Napa Valley, the coastal area between SF and Carmel, and Yosemite. The property owners were readily available to answer questions and provided complete and detailed information prior to our arrival and followed up at the end of our stay. The pride they take in this property is evident at every turn. I would recommend this property to others without any hesitation whatsoever, and we'd definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
Thank you
Khanh, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. The location was perfect; close to the airport, close to incredible restaurants, close to our customers, and close to Santana Row. We took long walks around the neighborhood and appreciated the off street parking. Loved the granite kitchen and "falling rain" shower head in one of the bathrooms. Quiet, quiet, quiet. I don't know how much of the credit goes to you or the perfect weather of San Jose, but we had an incredible stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks again for letting us borrow your boosted USB wi-fi link for our laptop and for being such a wonderful host. Kind regards, Roy

more evidence of China's ascendance to world domination. not. China is, and likely will remain, a very poor country built around a peasantry. Beijing and Shanghai are already partitioning themselves off with their Hukou controls and gini inequality. They will become more and more like HK haha
4 water melons…. think about it
Until the Chinese do something to rid themselves of the communist kleptocracy, they deserve what they get. They supported Mao, the greatest murderer of all times. That tells you a lot about the Chinese.
Hitler had his Gestapo, China has their Chengguan!
When Xi Jinping talked about a Chinese Dream, did he know that the Chinese Dream is to actually be free of Chengguan?
now is the time for lawyers, due process of law and impartial courts of law, which could prevent more violence and protests. that means the CCP has a long-term job to do.
China is an authoritarian country,I really envy you the United States of America!
What ?! Abuse in the Peoples' Paradise ? Say it isn't so !!
There are too many similar tragedies. We Chinese have been numb . Hoping change this current situation but have no power.
similar happen in hk during british rule.
hawker on the street was terrorized by chengguan.
some of them beaten to death
many people forget such bad history.
chengguan think that they are boss. because they had low education.
till the day they had receieved some anger management and highly trained discpline
many people had illusion idea about democracy.
how many cases about usa police beat black man till death?
brutality of police is legal and lawful as long it claimed to have self defense.
police kills one of suspect during interrogation.
boston bombing suspect friends.
on the excuse that the suspect acted violently.
So much for Chinese justice. I heard the CCP government is now censoring as many bloggers in China regarding this Chengguan brutal act. The Chinese government also going as far to threaten a blogger named Li Chengping to stop blogging about the incident……………..or else!
Rejoice Chinese peasants, will you see those 4 Chengguan go to jail? Not likely, this is just another regualar day in China where the CCP run courts protect their own.

China is on the verge of revolution.
The 50 cent clowns must never leave the big cities of China. For if they did, they'd see it is like the wild west of the 1800s, except it's modern 21st century China living like poor Africans.
No wonder the PRC needs to apply for USAID money and snake a billion dollars a year out of the Global Fund.
Mao's vision of the Chinese utopia is realized!
Unlike Egypian Army that swore to protect the people, and have done so!
The Chinese police and Army swore to protect only the Chicoms in power!
I pity the poor Chinese people!
Every 'leader' the U.S. government picks is kicked out by the people of Egypt.
Nobody trusts America.
Meanwhile back in the USA, millions of paranoid morons are expecting the NSA to show up at their doors any second now and take their watermelons.
Only the ChiNazi police are known to show up at your door in China! As a matter of fact, the ChiNazi police break down your doors even when nobody's home and wait for you!
Right about the Chinazis, but the NSA doesn't give a damn about you (or me). No search, no warrant. Bigger fish to fry.
The removal from office of a long-serving police chief in Tianjin, one of China's largest cities, is a vivid example of the problems facing Chinese law reform, writes veteran China legal scholar Stanley Lubman.
A 'Top Gun'-like confrontation between a Chinese fighter jet and a U.S. Navy P-8 surveillance plane raises questions about how the U.S. military manages its relationship with the People's Liberation Army, write Andrew Erickson and Emily de La Bruyere
Does Chinese leader Xi Jinping really want to be the next Mao Zedong? Or is it Deng Xiaoping, the pragmatic architect of China's market reforms, that he's modeling himself after?
At last week's meeting of the Historical Society for Twentieth-Century China in Taipei, roughly 200 historians from Asia, the United States and Europe gathered to share their latest research. But during lunch hours and coffee breaks, the one question that kept popping up wasn't about any given paper or project. Instead it was: "How's your archival access been lately?"
With China announcing new restrictions on "instant messaging tools," CRT Internet columnist Jason Q. Ng examines the ambiguous censorship already taking place on China's most popular messaging app, WeChat.

This is the east pillar of the twin pillars of Hope and Despair. The East face is about 40' high and features two very nice, pumpy 5.10's: Rise and Devour and Dismembered. The south-facing arete starts on lower ground, allowing for the lengthier Brewser (5.9). There are a couple more climbs on the west face, in the corridor between the pillars. The rock is solid with a good bite for the shoes on account of the coarse grain.
Getting There
Approach as for the Cemetery/Pillar of Despair. The Pillar of Hope lies directly to the east of the Pillar of Pain, and southwest of the Gate Keeper.

The pour yields a very nice pale lemon yellow with a big two finger head. Head retention was decent with minimal lacing.
Aromas are reminiscent of its Hefeweizen counterpart. Lots of yeast, spices and wheat in the nose with a nice banana punch.
Without a doubt, this is a big beer. Abundance of bubblegum, and banana are present with spices and clove at the onset with a nice semi-tart finish. For a big beer such as this, it hides its alcohol really well. Almost too well.
Mouthfeel was full with ample carbonation to top it all off.
I gotta say that this was a spectacular beer, and went down really well for having a 7.70 abv. and has high drinkability potential.

Poured it into my duvel glass. Hazy orange color with about one inch thick head. Got lots of clove and some banana in the aroma. Again more cloves in the taste, banana, and some pineapple. Extremely smooth to drink with the right amount of maltiness. I love this beer. Highly Recommended

From a 1 pt. 0.9 fl oz. bottle no. 5198. Sampled on April 8, 2009.
When the Monks first began brewing this the German Kingdom was just emerging, Benedict IX was the Pope, Byzantine rule was being overthrown in Serbia, and we weren't far off the Medieval Age. This is the kind of beer that the legendary King Arthur himself might have drank as he was saving England.
A - After I let it sit for a bit I served myself at or about the recommended 50 degree Farenheit. The pour was a cloudy pale yellow with a significant amount of foamy white head.
S - The aroma was of strong yeast, wheat, and spices with a mouthfeel that was sort of chewy.
T - The flavor is of hops, wheat, and yeast...very typical of a good bock beer. It was fabulous for its style.

$3.29 for a 16.9 oz bottle. A "weizenbock". 7.7% ABV. Pours out to a cloudy straw golden, forming a decent but quick thinning white head with sparse lacing. Carbonation is moderately strong. The aroma is not far removed from unibroue...a potent mixture of apple and pineapple juice with hints of spicy phenol. Mouthfeel is brisk, tart, acidic, and medium bodied with a champagne like spritzyness. Opens with apple juice, followed by hints of pineapple and perhaps mango, then cloves, a slight burnt rubber tang, some bready (but not gluey) yeast, and finishes with some crackery goodness. Not ruddy.
Lighter in flavor and color than what I expected. Not dark malts here, just slightly bigger body. Kinda like if you were to upgrade from a domestic macroswill to an "ICE" beer with the letters XXX on it, this is what you would get in the world of Hefe's. I expected more dark malts and complexity, but for what it is, it's a decent hefe.

Poured into a proper .5L weizen glass.
A: Very cloudy light golden and dark yellow colors with an enormous 2-3 fingers of white frothy head. Throughout the session, a small head retains just over the surface of the brew. Some smatterings of lacing on my glass.
S: Huge aromas at the pour. Cloves and other spices, wheat, banana and other fruity esters.
T: The cloves and spices are dominant and oh so enjoyable. There are plenty of other flavors, including dark fruity/berry in moments. The sip ends in some citrus and bitters. Metallic notes are barely present, but the balance of this big brew leaves them in the dust.
M and D: Medium-bodied and incredibly slick. A good dose of carbonation brings out the bold spices. This is an easy beer to drink, and the alcohol hides so well that I got a nice warming sensation afterwards that hit me right after the last sip. I've already recommended this to folks in town. I look forward to enjoying this beer again very soon.

Poured into my .5L Erdinger Weizen glass. It pours a cloudy straw yellow with a large three finger, fluffy white head that dissipates after a few minutes to a thinner version of itself. When held up to the light there is a vortex of yeast swirling towards the bottom. This actually looks really cool. Smell is strong wheat with a kick of clove spice and a hint of hops. There is banana, white grape and green apple also present. The taste is a little tart with a kick of clove. All the fruits are present in the taste as well. Everything blends together nicely and all the flavors help show off the others. The mouthfeel is velvety and smooth. This feels great on the tongue and all the way down my throat. The carbonation is lively enough that it feels alive while I drink it. The Weizenbock and Hefeweizen are becoming some of my favorite styles and this one seems to be at the top of the list for this category. I could drink this all night and then have some more the next morning. Mmmm...Vitus for breakfast!!!
Big thanks to ColoradoBobs for hyping this every night on LNBA and to Vintage Estate for carrying it. I will definitely be picking up more of this the next time I am out there.

Alright ColoradoBob, your shameless plugs for the beer finally prompted me seeking out, buying, drinking this beer.... and fearing for my safety if I don't give it high marks.
The beer pours with a much lighter-than-expected strong straw hue and ample carbonation that pushes a quarter-inch head that endures the session. Not as much haze as expected from a wheat beer either, in fact the beer is brilliantly clear with the first pour from the bottle.
Strong malt aromas of Pilsner varieties are accompanied by a rich, yet restrained, plethera of fruits and other yeasty character. The wheat is apparent but with in a back-seat sense to the malts. Hints of spicy phenols (clove) and estery (papayas, mangos, apples, and most of all pears) begin to set the tone as the beer warms. Unusual, yet nice to experience a Weizenbock that's taking on Maibock malt sensibilities.
Again, strong pilsner malts take the forefront with a clean bready, malty-sweet pillow. The wheat adds a delicate and varying sweet-bread taste (shortcake) while the yeast play a big part. Yeasty esters of papaya (not quite bananna), pinapple, fuggi apples, pears, peaches and other fruits that can be found in Juicy Fruit bubble guy come into play in a characterful and complex role (second pour now).
Very clean, crisp, and refreshing in the body-- definately makes for a substantial summer beer. Moderately full and expandful to the mouth; like Duvel, the beer seemingly evaporates in the mouth with a cotton-candy whimsy. Powerful malts veer away from cloying and oily, but toward bold creaminess and roundness. Without compromising drinkability, the beer fades nicely into a medium sweet-bready memory and a light spicy, hop-earthy linger on the tongue.
The beer had a definitive resemblence to Maibocks in the malt profile, but with the beautiful balance and complexity of traditional wheat beers. Is this a marriage made in a brewery (you thought I was going to say heaven didn't you?) Why aren't more breweries doing this? Note: the beer darkens as the subsequent pours are taken from the bottle, but the beer never takes on hazy proportions; maybe Kristalweizen-like (filtered).

Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a 2-finger white, fizzy head. The head sticks around for a long time. Some lacing.
The smell is apple, alcohol esters, yeast, and cloves. The taste is fruity--apples, pears, peaches & even plums. There are also flavors of cloves and wheat. Mouthfeel is crisp, highly acidic.
This is a very drinkable beer. Refreshing, but it packs quite a wallop at 7.7 percent ABV.

Picked up a couple bottles of this at Green's along Buford Highway. Took a bottle over to my dad's to celebrate his birthday. Poured into a pint glass. Pours a hazy yellow color with a frothy white head. Spicy, citrusy, clove and banana in the nose. Tastes citrusy, earthy, and spicy. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Overall, a good beer. Glad this is readily available now.

4.68/5 rDev +9.9%
Appearance: Pours with a large creamy smooth white head that dissipates over several minutes to a thin layer and is easily aroused by a simple swirl of the glass. It leaves a bit of lacing but not much. The beer is a beautiful cloudy golden yellow color.
Smell: My favorite part- Ripe bananas, clove spice, some light berry, light flowers similar to lilac, and a bit of bubble-gum smell.
Taste: Bananas, white grapes, orange, lemon, spicy clove, and small amount of cinnamon, sweet caramel, and a small hop presence towards the end. As it warms it begins to take on a roasted flavor.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth and silky, medium bodied.
Overall: Very drinkable, I could drink this all night till the cows come home. So many flavors to think about and experience. The aroma is absolutely amazing!! This beer is an amazing experience yet very easy to drink.

A- Large frothy white head rises form this hazy dull golden colored beer as it is pored. The head drops to a thin film capping the beer leaving some lacing but nothing impressive.
S- Sweet ripe banana, light hay and clove spice it the nose first. Also a hint of lemon peal, light sweet fruit, vanilla and a sweet flowery aroma.
T- Subtle waves of complex and sweet flavors make this beer what it is. Lots of nice spice blends beautifully with ripe sweet bananas. Some lemon flavors add a little tang in the middle but then sweet bananas take over again. Hints of vanilla and clove present throughout. Ends with a light hop presence that helps balance the sweetness.
M- Medium bodies beer that seems to float on the tongue. Very smooth and juicy with some dryness and hop nip in the end.
Overall this is a very good beer, amazingly drinkable for the ABV almost no alcohol detectable at all. You could drink this on a cold night or in the summer heat. This is an all season beer!

Poured from .500mL to pint glass (I know not proper)
A: Pours a beautiful orange with a large head but sadly it dissipates quickly.
S: Strong bananas with strong clove. Notes of wheat and some other citrus.
T: About the same as the smell. The banana comes out a bit more as do some other fruit notes. Still strong spiced clove with a nice wheat balance.
Overall: Mouthfeel was good, well carbonated and medium/light on the tongue. Very drinkable beer. I really enjoyed and need to try more of the style.

poured a hazy "weizen" yellow, with a wispy white head that faded down to a film around the edges, left some pretty good lacing nonetheless
smell was wheat and banana
taste was sweet as hell, wheat and banana dominated
mouthfeel was medium bodied and fairly well carbonated
drinkability was smooth and easy drinking and it went down way too well for 7.7%

3.93/5 rDev -7.7%
Presentation: Poured from 16.9 oz bottle into nonic style glass.
A: Pretty pale compared to what I expected. Almost no head despite a vigorous pour, no lacing to speak of either.
S: Smells of lemon, clove, mildly of banana. Very appealing and other citrus is present too. This is nice, but not a LOT of aroma without a swirl of the glass.
T: Overly dominated by lemon I cannot imagine someone dumping a piece of lemon in here. Lots of spices (maybe allspice?), lemon zest is super present, some wheaty yeast and banana are in the back, but up front is also a lot of sourness which I feel comes from the lemon zest tastes.
M: A little thin and way overcarbonated for me. Too slick also.
D: I could honestly drink this all night. Would have no problems whatsoever making it the only beer of the night.
I enjoyed it alot, although it is not my favorite beer due to the overwhelming citrus tastes.

Like so many others, ColoradoBobs made me want to try this beer. I managed to find one at Julio's in Westboro, Mass.
APPEARANCE: Pours into an Aventinus glass a hazy, pale straw yellow. Talk about unexpected. A 3-finger white head befitting a wheat beer forms on top and slowly drops to one finger and holds strong.
SMELL: It's yeasty - not a whole lot of banana, but pretty heavy on the clove. A lemony citrus aroma holds strong as well. The wheat smells light and sweet with a crisp tartness. No indication that this is any sort of bock-strength beer.
TASTE: Holy... It's a hefeweizen, but so much more. It definitely tastes bigger, but it's still so light on the palate. There's no sickly sweetness whatsoever, and the whole banana/clove/estery flavors come up just enough to balance. The slightest bit of warming alcohol is there across the palate, but it's wheaty bliss all the way through the finish.
MOUTHFEEL: Appropriately medium full, but with a light pillowy feel that you'd expect from a hefeweizen. Carbonation is on the higher side.
DRINKABILITY: How to make a weizenbock more drinkable: make it taste like a hefeweizen. Stunning. You know this beer is bigger than it should be, but it drinks just the same.
This is a home run for sure. Everyone should subscribe to the gospel according to ColoradoBobs and drink one of these now!

A - Poured an absolutely clear straw yellow with a huge, rocky head. BUT, the introduction of the sediment from the bottom created a really cool-looking invasion of cloudiness in my Weihenstephaner glass that gradually brought the beer to a cloudy yellow. The transition from clear to cloudy was way too cool to watch. Very impressive. Once the head finally disappears though, this beer looks pretty uninteresting. Virtually no lacing to speak of. If it weren't for that, I would've given it a 5 because of the sediment addition alone.
S - Clove, citrus, and some other spices dominate, with the expected banana aromas poking through in the background. Some earthy yeast and wheat aromas come through as well.
T - Sweet fruit flavors dominate up front with some spice and earthy notes coming through in the finish. Citrus sweetness is balanced nicely by the spices and a mild hop presence.
M - Medium-bodied with a somewhat wet finish. Very smooth and kinda creamy, like a good weizenbock should be.
D - Sweet mother of Zeus, I could drink this stuff all night!!!

500 ml bottle purchased from Green's in Greenville, SC before we could get it here in GA. Poured into a Paulaner Weizen glass.
A: Pours a cloudy straw like yellow with a slight tint of orange. There is a very tiny bubble white head that is a fills all the space in the glass from the .5l line all the way to the rim. Just the slightest bit of lacing as the head recedes.
S: Classic wheat beer aroma including the coriander spice smell. Hints of what seems like orange and possibly lemon peel. Its an interesting aroma.
T: This tastes a lot like a Hefe but with a lot of the flavors cranked up. Big wheat beer flavor with loads of spice character. I think its coriander, but its much more spicy than I would expect so maybe its something else. There are definitely orange and lemon citrus notes. A tasty beer.
M: Its a bit prickly from the spice and carbonation. It is medium in body.
D: The beer disappeared quickly for me. The alcohol is well hidden. However, if you are not a big fan of spice character in beer, this may not be the one for you. Luckily, I love it when it is done right like this one is.

Pours from a 16.9oz bottle into a tulip glass. Pours quite hazy and orange golden in color. Large, white head tops the beverage and leaves copious amounts of lacing.
Aroma is spicy and yeasty. Corriander and black pepper and sweet yeast. Lemon peel as well. Large dose of banana.
More corriander and yeast in the flavor. TOns of banana in the flavor. More light fruits as well. Fairly sweet and bready, doughy.
Medium bodied and fairly chewy. Good carbonation and overall a pleasant beer. VEry drinkable; easily drinkable. I enjoyed this one.

Appearance - pours a cloudy lemon yellow, two fingers of snowy cover on top. Looks attractive and refreshing. The bottom yeasties took some patient bottle-swirling to dislodge, but they kick up the cloudiness even more.
Aroma - doughy yeast, plenty of banana and clove character.
Taste - good flavor to the grain base, on the sweeter side. The banana really comes out with the sugary front taste. The yeast and spice occur more mid-palate and post-swallow. A full flavor and with great flavor balance all around. This is kind of what I would imagine an Imperial Weizen to taste like, though the abv is understated even at 7.7.
Mouthfeel - quite crisp for a weizenbock. Pretty decent body, could use a little more grain and/or abv smoothness/slickness.
Drinkability - this comes across as more weizeny than bocky. The malts are a little too lost in the yeast and spices, but those flavors are so tasty, I don't mind. The alcohol is well-masked and for this style, that's impressive. I look forward to trying this in the upcoming months at a barbecue or two.

Aggressive thick head that shows amazing retention. Cloudy light honey amber color.
Aroma is rather strong and is as expected. Banana, close, yeast. A touch of dough.
Flavor is very interesting. Certainly some clove, banana up front, but then there is an interesting bread flavor. Almost reminds me of a nice fresh loaf of sourdough. There is a lingering banana flavor that mixes with some black pepper... I would not guess this to be north of 7% abv.
Mouth feel is slightly chalky but not too much. There is a thickness to the beer, but not like a thick stout.. Just a bit of texture.
Nicely drinkable. I can't believe I enjoy these beers now. Good stuff.
I essentially tried this because of many BA'ers going nuts over this beer.
I can see why.

A: Cloudy straw colored beer, with very active carbonation. White cap is fluffy and foamy. The head maintains a thin layer the whole way down. Leaves occasional large patches of lace.
S: Slightly musty, with a generous dose of cloves and hay, plus a hint of banana.
T: Starts out sharp and dry. The taste of raw grains is quite evident. Bitterness provides a well balanced bite of clove and coriander. The tingle of carbonation helps the bitterness along. Finishes tart and dry, with lingering lemon and raw wheat flavors.
M: Medium body is grainy and coarse. Carbonation level is high like it should be, and leaves a tingle on the tongue that lasts long after the beer has left the mouth behind.
D: Kind of like a regular hefe turned up to 11. The extra body lets you know this is a strong beer, yet it drinks lighter than it is. I wished the banana factor was a bit higher, but otherwise this is very nice.

500 ml bottle poured into a weizen glass.
Thanks to UGADawgGuy for his efforts to bring this to Georgia.
Pours a hazy orange-gold, with a huge, fluffy head of cotton candy like foam that rises a full inch above the rim of my weizen glass without falling over. Beautiful. Settles to a finger of off-white foam that you could probably use as shaving cream. Clings to the sides in sheets.
Aroma is, whoa, banana! Hello! Like a banana cream pie, sure as shit. Lactose smell is reminscent of a malted milk shake. Clove and nutmeg in there, too.
Taste is of sugar cookie and grainy wheat, followed by a Juicy-Fruit center of banana, pineapple, and bubble gum. Just when you think you are drinking candy, a solid hit of tangy, slightly lemony yeast and spicy hops cleans up the palate. Coriander, clove, and sage in the long, mildly sour finish. Some of that banana lingers as well.
Creamy mouthfeel and medium body. Very slick, despite the active carbonation that holds that cap all the way down. Delicious.
Although good enough to be savored, it goes down as smooth as the spritziest hefeweizen. Alcohol is well hidden, with only the sweet slickness that suggests a high OG.
Remarkable beer that really has no equal that I have had. It would pair nicely with any number of foods, from salad to dessert. Weihenstephan is the bomb!

Poured into a goblet from a pint bottle.
A - light gold with a ton of fluffy head, that dissipates pretty quick but leaves a layer behind.
S - sweet, fruity and vibrant, with bread and banana and little bit of citrus and spice in there.
T/M/D - very smooth and balanced, with a hint of a hoppy bite that really makes this one interesting. The alcohol hides pretty well, but I can tell its there from the warming feeling. I'll be looking for this one again!

Pours a hazy yellow with a massive foamy white head -- head was gone very quickly.
Huge sweet wheat husk and banana scents.
Sweet, dusty wheat, yeasty goodness, some fruitiness, a little tart dryness, and subtle alcohol. Delicious.
Light on the tongue and palate, but with some good astringent finishing qualities.
Overall, a big winner. Nice and drinkable, even at 7.7%. Try this.

likes the cheeses.Since Danbooru has come up on the queue, I'd like to request some feedback on it. Danbooru isn't a fictional work itself, but more of a repository of works in the form of Fanart. By my estimation, most of the trope entries listed on the page are either mis-used or not really relevant for our purposes. This seems to me like a page that should get the Literotica treatment of a trope-sectionectomy and subsequent locking. Any thoughts on this suggestion, for or against?

As for my ideal tack for dealing with this site, I'd like to keep any pool links for works as long as the works themselves are not violative of policy, but not link directly to image pages (as those are the ones that generally have the NSFW ad content), instead linking to their equivalent pages on Safebooru (which does not host NSFW images) if they have them.

likes the cheeses.While it's true that Danbooru isn't solely porn, there is enough of it that I felt a trope section-ectomy and lock following the precedent set by Literotica would be an appropriate decision for the panel to make. I can see the other side of the argument, though, and if the other members of the panel feel that this would be better handled in TRS, I'll abide by their decision.

someoneI don't really see why we need tropes for any specific online community like some of the entries for "tropes applying to the site". And tropes for any specific artwork hosted there, well, Danbooru didn't produce that artwork, it's just a repository. The actual artwork there can be covered under artist pages or something.
Let's ignore the NSW content and ads for a moment: It's an image uploading and sharing site. Why should we have it on TV Tropes? It has no original content in and of itself. You could make a reasonable argument for trope pages on content that happens to be on Danbooru, but not for Danbooru itself. I mean, most of that page is just a list of tags Danbooru has. It's ridiculously unnecessary. Add in the NSW stuff and you got a serious argument in favor of deleting it entirely.

The ClassicLiterotica is also NSFW, but was given an Example Sectionectomy. Both Danbooru and Literotica host similar content. And we also have Pixiv, which hosts SFW and NSFW content, and is an image sharing site like Danbooru. Not sure how much of Pixiv is SFW and NSFW though.

Just because they can always read your mind doesn't mean Espeon aren't the best thing ever.

Cosine!About the same, I think. A lot of Danbooru's content came from Pixiv in the first place.
Winged DoomNote: ~10% of Danbooru content is explicit, ~20% is questionable. Rounding up, maybe not counting hidden (loli/shota) and deleted art (which barely scrap 2% altogether). Similar in what sense? Sankaku has 36K/10K/17K of safe/questionable/explicit art. Which is quite a lot more of explicity than Danbooru.

even older skoolIf the content is comparable to that of the Sankakucomplex imageserver, wouldn't a similar solution be indicated?
I would not mind this being cut (or Youtube, and similar articles), but that reads like preparing for a different conversation. So, edit and lock.
even older skoolWhat I mean is that regardless of the actual severity or the ratios themselves, both servers host SWF as well as NSFW images. If we've already allowed Sankakucomplex a stub page, Danbooru would need to be different in a substantial way to warrant a different treatment.

Beautiful. Wish I'd taken it.
Thanks Eric.
All you have to do is begin a hike in the middle of the night in August from Johnston Ridge to be there for the dawn.
Best regards, Larry
Looks like you are very close to the spot Vern Hodgson took a series of 16 famous photos of the eruption in 1980. Was this by chance? Mike
Hi Mike. He was many miles to the northeast of this location. This area was in the direct path of the lateral blast and the landslide and is less than three miles from the volcano. Best regards, Larry
Larry, It's tough to tell with so much of the mountain gone. It was such an amazing natural event. Your gallery is full of natural beauty. Mike
Thanks Mike!

Sometimes revenge is not always the best answer
I really like the art for the cover because it is pretty simple and I like simple better than going abstract and having the art coming bad. The concept of the cover was also very nice because the issue really did center a lot with Betty and Peter's movie night.
Peter has been busy with his life as Spidey and his new job at horizon labs and really has not have a lot of time for Betty. When Betty really wants to see a movie and Peter cannot see it she goes and sees it by herself and gets jumped. Now she is in the hospital and Spidey is looking for the person who did this to her and wants revenge.
Best Part
We have not seen Betty in Amazing Spider-man in a while and it was nice to see her again because I always thought of her as a really good for Peter. This issue really does show how close they are. But when someone close to Peter gets hurt he always blames himself and always sets out to revenge. I think in this issue he finally see that playing the revenge card is not always the best thing to do. Maybe sometimes being with the people you love is more important. I think in this issue Peter has finally learned that. Which I am very happy to see because it took Peter a pretty long time to figure that out.
Worst Part
I felt that Aunt May was a little out of character in this issue when she was trying to convince Peter to go to the hospital. Aunt May would usually never shove Uncle Ben's death in Peter's face. In this issue she talks to Peter and tells him how she was alone when Uncle Ben died and Peter left for the whole night. She is usually the wise one and I thought she would of understood that everyone takes death differently and maybe that is just how Peter took death.
Spider-man's art usually changes a lot and sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. With this issue I really liked it. Sometimes the simple art is the best. This art was simple with a little jazz but too much. I thought it really fit the issue well.
Pick it up or not
Pick it up!!!
