WOW nice find congrats to the addition in your tractor family!!!!
I can't justify getting the larger ones but i'm going for the gusto someday anyway we only pass this way once!!!!! I have only about 2 acres that should be enough grazing land for a big guy. I think it would get along with the 1 farmall cub, the 3 int154's and the 7 cub cadets I hope, they can all share the high test i'm sure. Come on if your into cubs you have to have a grand daddy too right? Having an "H" or an "M" would be awesome too!!!!!
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Rule #1 - Don't be That Guy
- THIS is most important. Don't ruin someone else's fun...I mean just don't do that.
Rule #2 - All Pictures and .Gifs Must Have Subject Lines
-Some people are slackers and we go on Bleeding Green Nation during class because having your English teacher explain how to write persuasively kind of loses it's luster after a couple years. Some people even come here while they're supposed to be working (TIME THIEF!). So, for these people we must require you to put a subject line on all pictures, especially pictures of half naked women.
- No nudity. That means no pictures of nipples, vaginas, anuses or penises.
- Limit your gifs (less than 3 per user), I love gifs as much as the next guy but they have a tendency to slow down my computer.
- Please check where the picture or gif came from. No one wants to get a virus, worm or trojan on their computer. Just remember that some people cannot afford to replace a computer every year.
Rule #3 - Shun anyone acting like a jackass
-Y'all go ahead and decide who acts douchey and who doesn't. We will flag your comments and then tweet and email Jason
Rule #4 - Be cool, man. No temper tantrums. No "threadbombing."
-No need to lose your head. This is the internet, don't take these arguments seriously. If someone hurts your feelings, let it go or go outside for a walk. There's no need to make yourself look like a tool by ruining a thread.
Rule #5 - All people are accepted.
-This is the NFC bEast thread, we don't judge or attack based on who roots for what team. All fans of the Cowboys, Giants, Redskins and any other NFL team for that matter, are welcome. Just don't get too trolly or we'll have to give you the Real LT treatment.
Rule #6 - No Pictures Of Any Rosie, O'Donnell or Barr.
-Do not break it or you'll be given a very thorough shunning. Also we've run into someone posting Cat butts, don't do that either
5 Recs or Rob Ryan will be the next DC for the Eagles.

By Andrea Sachs
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Bren Bataclan watched from behind a tree as a young couple approached the fountain and studied a small square object leaning against the base of the monument. From his hiding spot, he could see the woman reach down with empty hands, then stand back up clasping a canvas. The duo held a brief conference, their words too faint for Bataclan to hear. Finally, they reached an agreement that pleased him: The woman walked off with the artwork, grinning broadly.
The painting was Bataclan's eighth giveaway of the day and the 114th since he set out this summer on a cross-country expedition supporting his SmileyB project. More important, with this canvas, he released two more smiles into the world.
"I like to help others, and in my own small way, I'm doing that," the 44-year-old Boston-based artist said last month. "When I'm leaving paintings around, for 90 percent of the people, it's an enhancement to their day. For the other 10 percent, it's an intense, more direct easing of pain."
Bataclan arrived in Washington July 20, stop No. 39 on his 50-state tour that marked the 10-year anniversary of his creative endeavor. His mission: Deposit art around the country with the return promise that the recipient will crack a smile more often. In the off-chance that the image of a whimsical worm or a cuddlesome panda doesn't turn that frown upside down, he attaches a note to each 8-by-10-inch canvas that reads, "This painting is yours if you agree to smile at random people more often."
"I asked her, 'Will you legitimately smile more often at people,' " David Fiedler, the fountain finder from Austin, Texas, said he asked his companion, Alyssa Kahn. "And she said yes."
After ticking off Maryland and Virginia, Bataclan embarked on a marathon drive along a route that is coincidentally shaped like a crooked smile (trace West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming). He then backtracked to his 48th state (Iowa). After a short respite in California, he reached New Mexico last weekend and on Tuesday he crossed off the last square on the map, Oklahoma.
SmileyB originated in a city that often knits its brows and grimaces. Bataclan, who was born in the sunny Philippines and grew up in neighborly San Francisco, attended graduate school in Ohio, where he sampled the Midwest's special blend of conviviality and chumminess. When he moved to Boston, he noticed a chill in the air that was unrelated to the winter temperature. In 2003, unemployed and antsy, he started depositing his anime-inflected artwork around the city — on park benches, outside banks, inside post offices and at the airport. He hoped his works would thaw the faces of Bostonians.
On a dreary February day in 2004, his art helped a woman in pink sunglasses who, in turn, assisted him in discovering his true calling. The mystery individual was from Greece and had just completed her first chemotherapy treatment in Boston when she stumbled upon his artwork. She later contacted him (he puts his website on each note), thanking him for the jolt of hope on an otherwise bleak occasion. (Bataclan has received numerous emails from people sharing their tragic situations and explaining how his artwork has changed their attitude toward life.)
"This is my ministry," said Bataclan, who supports himself as a professional artist and funded his tour through Kickstarter. "Even without money, I will give away one or five paintings a month. She started me doing this indefinitely."
Bataclan's strategy is to drop and run. No waiting around, watching and wondering whether the art will find a caring custodian or will end up wet, cold and alone. He scouts for areas with heavy foot traffic and benches — all the better to exhibit the art. If he can't locate an elevated platform, he will rest the piece on a step or the ground.
"After 10 years, I'm happy just leaving it," he said. "I'm at peace knowing they will find a home."
In Washington, Bataclan started at the National Mall, which is rife with benches and dense with feet. He set up his bait: a cherry-red worm with yellow antennae and a beatific smile that could melt a butterfly's heart.
A pedestrian in a black shirt and backpack eyeballed the painting, then looked back over his shoulder to make sure that, yes, a worm was beaming at him.
"Adults are more tied into product placement and think nothing is free." said Bataclan, who has observed several distinct sociological behaviors over the years.
Another man stopped and snapped a picture of the canvas. "If my son were here," said Jala Haddad, of Oregon, "I would be asking him, 'Where do you want to put it?' " However, his son was back home, and Haddad was traveling by motorcycle and camping out for five weeks. There was no room on his bike for a happy bug.
After a few more minutes, a trio of Florida coed-types appeared. Nicole Reed broke from her pack of friends to snag the artwork.
"I was intrigued because of the bright colors, and then I read the note," said Reed, who had driven up from Gainesville, Fla., that morning. "He's coming to Gator Nation."
In Dupont Circle, pedestrians picked up the paintings as quickly as squirrels stealing bird seed. Among the recipients: a birthday girl turning 24, a family visiting from Pittsburgh (one for the 7-year-old daughter, one for the "I want what she has" 3-year-old son) and a student with the Fund for American Studies.
"I definitely can keep this promise," said Gaby Broque, the student. "I already smile a lot."
The clock was inching toward dinnertime, and Bataclan still had to tackle Virginia before moving on to West Virginia the next day. On his way to the car, he revisited the drop spots in Bethesda, Md., checking on the status of the art. All but one of the benches was empty.
"So there is only one unloved one," he said, looking over at the painting languishing by the Dunkin' Donuts.
Later that evening, in a hotel room in Herndon, Va., Bataclan received an email that opened with, "We were wandering around downtown Bethesda and sat down on the bench in front of Dunkin Donuts," and ended with, "The painting has found a new home!"
The couple included a photo of themselves. They were holding up a painting of a yellow worm, and were smiling from ear to ear.

Before making a decision about where to store my items I read reviews about several different storage place. Uncle Bob's storage had very good reviews and I was not disappointed at all. Michelle was fantastic and very helpful. This is not my first time using a storage unit but this is the first time I have been this happy with a place. I am pregnant and due in a couple of months, Michelle went so far as to ask me to bring my little boy to see her sometime after he was born. So many places don't take the time to get to know there customers this place is not one of them!Sunshine from Independence, LA

I can't say enough good things about this company. I had my unit almost 3yrs and I never had a problem. When I was moving out I didn't have anyone to help me on that last day and I called and was told that I had until the 5th of the month to empty it out. She was so nice about it and I was so glad to have the extra days.Sarah from D. S., LA

What a pleasure it is these days to work with a business who is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond the call to make a customer feel satisfied and happy. I'm in my 70's and had never had the need to rent a storage locker before....it was all new to me, but both Jayme and Connie made me feel comfortable, assuring me my personal belonging would be fine and safe. Knowing I could call on them at any time if the need arises, was also very re-assuring. Thank you for taking the time to put my mind at ease.Laura from Greenwell Springs, LA

National Drinking Water Database
City of Houston Public Works - Houston, TX
Serves 2,700,000 people - Test data available: 2004-2007
This drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality . It is part of EWG's national database that includes 47,667 drinking water utilities and 20 million test results. Water utilities nationwide detected more than 300 pollutants between 2004 and 2009. More than half of these chemicals are unregulated, legal in any amount. Despite this widespread contamination, the federal government invests few resources to protecting rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater from pollution in the first place. The information below summarizes test results for this utility and lists potential health concerns.

Eleven-year-old Brody Meskers says he doesn't want to be like World Champion Keith St. Onge when he grows up. He wants to be better. It has been many years since our sport has seen such a self-motivated young skier move up so quickly in the sport.

Six-year-old Brody competed in the Midwest Regional's and U.S. Nationals– and he won both tournaments, edging out boys who were 7, 8 and 9 years old. The following year, Brody learned to barefoot backwards and that opened the door to harder tricks and even more barefooting.

Fastest germinating seed.

Fastest germinating seed.
I have a ditch area I am filling in and am looking for the fastest growing product to seed it with. Even a medium rain will wash it again unless I get some roots established. On the upper part of the ditch, I got lucky and hit a spell of no rain and I was able to use Oats and grass seed mixed to get it growing. I was told the oats would come before the grass.
Is there any commonly available seed that grows quicker and wil be overtaken by grass?
Hi Tech
I belive they used perenial rye grass on the sides of the land fill after covering it. I do not know if the sead was treated with anything but it seemed to come up in three days.

Think outside the box. If you want fast germination it's bound to be some kind of weed!

Annual rye put on heavy. Quick germination and growth, but will only last one season, so it must be blended or overseeded with perennial grasses such as bluegrass, fescue or perennial rye.

That really wouldn't be so bad vs. having it wash out again!
I'll get some rye and try that. Thanks all.
a good mixture to use for your ditches would be a mix of 70% annual rye grass, 20% creeping red fescue and 10% kentucky bluegrass. also using that cheap green plastic netting over straw will help keep your grass in place.
Dear technova,
By now you've probably got seed in the ground, but establishing grass is usually a long-term project so I'll offer this advice anyway.
I am a big fan of Johnny's Selected Seeds (mail order outfit up in Maine; you can find their web site easily). Their site or catalogue has an informative section on cover crops, which is what you're looking for, and is really worth checking out for reference. I have heavy clay soil + rocks rocks boulder rocks... typical New England and I am always trying to get grass growing somewhere on our property.
If you want to get something green and fast, most people recommend annual ryegrass, and yes, you can mix that with perennial rye and fescue which will come back next year.
For a quick cover that enriches & amends the soil (which is what I need) Johnny's recommends (and I agree) that one of the best cover crops is buckwheat. I have a miserable clay+rock bank that I have never been able to cover until this year--I used a mix of buckwheat, red clover (really pretty & I think will reseed itself), field peas (excellent for nitrogen fixing) and rye--both annual & perennial. The hitch is that in the early spring I'll have to till them under and plant perennial grasses (like the kinds John suggests). Depending on what kind of soil you used to fill that ditch, you may or may not want to take the "green manure" approach that I'm following this year. White clover is also a good, eager cover crop--unless you don't like clover in a lawn.
Good luck, Jocelyn

"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all."
I am no genius with seed and such... but I did learn a few things the last couple years..
1. Fresh seed is an open invitation for every hungry bird on the Continent to invade your seeded area.
2. First time you seed for bird food. Second time you seed half for bird food, half for maybe some germination.
3. Third time, you might get some patches of grass.
and on and on and on...
But.. I discovered something..
I rarely rear bag or hopper my grass when I am mowing.. I prefer to allow the clippings to decay in place which provides good soil amendments and natural nitrogen for the lawn. I never have a problem with thatch. I guess that is because I don't plant those specialty grasses like Kentucky Blue etc., for a lawn so perfect you are afraid to walk on it. I prefer the more wild and wooly style of lawn complete with weeds and all..
But, when I have a fair amount of reseeding that needs to be done after I have played with the big toys landscaping my property which is an ongoing affair.. I tend to collect the clippings. I usually empty them into my dump trailer that gets towed behind my Craftsman and now my JD... let them heat up a bit. Then I broadcast my seed and immediately cover with grass clippings... about 1/4" thick. I now have really nice well established grass.. and only took 1 full season to establish... cheaper on seed costs, no need to add fertilizer and the clippings protect the seed from hungry birds.. well the vast majority of them at least.
I also use the Timothy, Rye, Clover and Buckwheat mix. It becomes self seeding, has a good root system, supports my Cubs.. and doesn't thatch. What more could one ask for..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
The Zen of Reseeding
Rudi (hi Rudi) suggests leaving the grass clippings as mulch, which is a great idea. I'd add that if you want to do that & avoid a thatch buildup (which will leave you either with bare spots or a carpet of moss, depending on your climate & amt of shade), cut the lawn on a regular basis--don't let the grass grow to 8" and then use your mulching mower, in other words, like my husband did. He also kept assuring me that he could just run that mulching mower over a carpet of enormous wet oak leaves and the lawn would come back next year just fine. WRONG. Now, I love him but he really is no gardener and I now have a lawn that is mostly moss and weeds , so I'm fighting back patch by patch.
I have never had a problem with birds eating the seeds--but then I always throw out way more seed than recommended, so maybe there's enough for them AND for the lawn.
The biggest challenge in seeding a lawn, as anyone knows who's ever planted grass seed, is keeping the seed "moist" until the baby grass gets established, or else your baby seedlings will dry and burn up and you end up with the same bare patch. Don't you know anyone who has rushed home from work at lunchtime to water that danged precious grass? I do! That's where some kind of mulch/cover comes in, to shade your bed from ol' evil sun and keep the soil from drying out.
SUGGESTION, rather than use decomposing grass clippings (sorry Rudi), which I would think would burn your seedlings cover your newly seeded places with a thin (loose, so some light can get through) cover of straw or spoiled hay. Now, I come from a long line of cheapskate ("frugal") Yankees so I resist buying straw for this purpose. But I have unlimited access to free spoiled hay at the barn where I board my horse--it's not grossly spoiled, but once a bale starts to turn hot or get a little bit of mold, you CANNOT feed it to horses . (Moldy feed can kill a horse; fortunately most horses won't eat bad hay.) You can probably also get spoiled hay in your area by just asking anyone who has horses, unless they too use it in the garden as mulch. Landscapers often use burlap, but I am way too cheap... I mean frugal... to spend money on burlap for this purpose.
Ah, I do love ruminating on garden issues

Put your grass seed in the freezer for a few days. Then take it out the sowe. It thinks it winter time thin it takes off.
In my line of work
Jeff sounds like a good But my freezer not big enough for a 50# bag of seed.
April 23 my yard looked like this after I finished seeding. I used tall fescu and it did take over a week to germinate.
April 23 2006 just got done planting the grass in the yard It was all dirt. Today June 30th I am trying to figure out how to mow it. As I do not have tires on the cub becuse the rims are being powder coated. It was mowed last thursday. The couple of bare spots was me getting wild with the roundup and 2 4 D.

Re: Fastest germinating seed.
Hi the best way i have found here in Va is 30% perenial rye 40% fescue
30% blue grass thow a little wheat in to. Then straw it just so the ground is covered if you got a plant bed cover handy cover with it the wheat and rye will come up first 5 to 12 days the rest 14 to 30 days the wheat will dye off and the blue grass and fescue will take over
you can reuse the plant bed cover if you get a remake one
All others pay cash

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely byJohn Emerich Edward Dalberg
For those who have a problem with water (too little not too much) consider Buffalo grass. A warm season grass that only gets about 4' tall. low maintence, rarely needs mowing (unfortunately less seat time in the cub, fewer times to tell other that work needs to be done with the cub). Seed is expensive. Plugs are very expensive. I buy seed and grow my own plugs. I use same containers I used to start my peppers, cukes, tomatoes etc. Buffalo grass is a warm season grass and in NE does is planted after mid June. Needs watering untill established. Loves clay but hates sandy soils.

Pours a dark-ish golden color with banana tinted edges. Cloudy, hazy, and basically opaque, as I would expect any tripel to be. Super volatile - even a modest and careful pour produces a humongous, cloud-like white head that takes up more glass space than the beer itself. Surprisingly enough, no real lacing left behind, save for a bit of wet legging that doesn't last forever.
The aroma is unabashedly sweet, complete with an almost pickled/vinegar like aroma and plays along with the sweetness in relatively competent harmony. Ripe, sweet, candied bananas, coated in sugar and swimming in a sea of malt. Lots of Belgian yeast, clove, orange peel, and other various spices. There's no doubt that there's a lot going on here - a very complex orchestration of malty goodness. Phenol alcohol character builds up as the beer gets warmer, cutting through the sweetness a bit, somewhat expected at 9.5% ABV. A mild, musky hop ending closes things out.
I take a sip and the first thing I think of is sweet water taffy - banana flavored of course. This beer gives off a "candied" sort of flavor, which doesn't really come as a surprise after smelling it. There's a mild musky bitterness up front to help balance some of the sweetness overload. Each sip reveals more and more flavors; rotten mashed mangoes, clove, leaves, Belgian yeast, sugar coated plums. Definitely a lot to take in.
At first, the alcohol is very low, but even with moderate warming, the phenol characters bounce out and attack the senses pretty heavily - maybe almost a bit too heavily. Despite the beer's sweetness, the heavy alcohol warmth and front-and-center hop bitterness do a valiant job of keeping this beer from seeming too sweet. Somewhat dry finish, medium bodied and carbonated pretty heavily.
Very nice tripel, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. Most people have come to expect greatness from all of the trappist breweries, and why shouldn't they? Not my favorite tripel, but very good nonetheless.

Pours a deep hazy golden color with a huge blooming head that leaves a masive amount of lacing,I get a large dose of grassy hopps in the aroma with a light spiciness.Flavor has a smoky quality along with a big dose of grassy hop finishing big and spicey.A beer full of flavor just what I was looking for very well done.

Appearance Large head with great lacing and a beautiful, cloudy orange color. The bubbles on the head are huge. You almost want to take a picture of it.
Smell Fruit and spice hit the nose along with the classic Tripel malt and yeast. This one has a huge bouquet, and the yeast and orange notes are perfectly balanced.
Taste This is hard core. The yeast is big and tight even after the ale warms. The spices are monstrous. I can pick up some heavy coriander and powdery white pepper and allspice.
The fruits are amazing. This is raw, organic, just bought at the local health food store kind of flavors. It really is something else. The alcohol evens things out. Everything is amazingly controlled and balanced. The finish is pale and hoppily bitter, but not overly so.
Mouthfeel This full-bodied Tripel has some of the best carbonation that Ive ever experienced. The complex and bitter finish is in a class all by itself.
Drinkability The amazing flavor of this beer, along with the terrific sensations that it creates in the mouth, makes this one a real classic.
Comments The say that this style originated right here at Westmalle. I can certainly believe it. There is a depth to this ale that I am failing to describe. This thing is awesome.
Update This was the 12th beer that I review on the site. Now, in 2004, over 1,000 reviews later, I thought Id re-write my rating.
I have had other Belgians that shared portions of these flavors, but nothing that brings them all together like this one. This really is the ultimate Tripel in my book and certainly sets the standards for all others. The balance is the key to this ale, IMHO.

Starts out with a blistering apricot/tropical sweetness that makes its way towards the hops, then grapes, and finally a nice dry vinous finish with just slight notes of coriander and whiskey. The glowing orange appearance and healthy dollop of cream make it quite the looker as well. Perhaps the best tripel Ive had and certainly the most drinkable. A truly top notch beer.

Serving date: 2009-03-01. Served in snifter.
Presentation: 330 ml bottle with the Trappist collar around the neck. Freshness date (best before 2010-06-30) and glassware recommendations printed on the label.
Appearance: The pour is orange colored with a two finger ivory-colored sparkly head that settles after a short while but leaves a nice coat of foam.
Smell: Pleasant sweet fruit aromas (apricots). Earth and dry hay. Pepper, yeast and a gentle sting from the alcohol. The smell is somewhat reminiscent of white wine - very nice.
Taste: All in all a rather crisp taste with decent amounts of malts. Plenty of fruits - apricots, some banana, citric notes mostly in the form of lemon, and a vague taste of grapes that strengthens the resemblance of white wine I got from the smell. Rustic honey flavors. Big taste of peppery alcohol and spices. Subdued flavors of earthy yeast. The finish is rather bitter, more so than expected, and has a bold spicy alcohol character that seems to linger on forever.
Mouthfeel: Medium body that feels a bit sharp due to generous amounts of carbonation that feels very lively in the mouth.
Drinkability: A very good beer and as most Trappist beers, it showcases a very well balanced complexity. The alcohol is perhaps just a little too present, though. The white wine character I got, mostly from the smell but also to a lesser degree in the taste, was very pleasant.

First review! Let the merriment begin...
Appearance: Poured into a deep red wine glass. Huge, slow retreating, 3.5 finger head that had a beautiful, snow-white hue. The beer has a beautiful golden color, almost transparent. Tiny strands of carbonation crept up the sides of the glass.
Smell: Very fresh and sweet, with hints of peach, mango, and caramel right off the bat. Not much alcohol detectable in the aroma, just a wonderful yeasty fruitiness. Other aromas hinted at include cherrywood and white grape.
Taste: A rich, semi-sweet, syrupy caramel-vanilla flavor. Fruit flavors on the palate include golden raisin, crisp apple, and peach. A nice, long, dry finish complements the rich, fruity taste.
Mouthfeel: Very creamy, with a warm boozy feel on the palate. A much fuller feel than I expected from this style. Very well balanced with a good medium carbonation that waltzes on the tongue.
Drinkability: A very smooth brew. Perhaps a tad too sweet with a sneaky-high alcohol content for much than one or two in a sitting, but I will definitely enjoy one of these as a treat from time to time.
Overall, I thought this was a phenomenal beer. I am just getting into to Belgian ales and this was a truly delicious brew. Highly recommended.

look ~ pours a straw color and is fairly hazy. actually, it looks a lot like a wit. The head is good: two fingers of white moussy head off a hard pour, falls very slowly, and leaves some nice lacing. No real visible carbonation in the glass.
smell ~ really, really nice. belgian yeast is front-and-center for this one: bubblegum, spices (mostly pepper rather than clove), and fruits (banana and citrus). not a lot of the malt character comes through. some nice hop crispness, which falls into the same spicy-fruity range as the yeast and is hard to pin-point exactly in relation to the yeast.
flavor ~ also exceptional and very well balanced. pretty much the same characters as the i got on the nose, but with a bit more of the grainbill coming through. malt-wise, i get some light breadcrust and a bit of wheatiness. The yeast character is the same balance of spices (pepper) and fruit (banana and citrus). hop bitterness is medium-high and has a bit more of a floral and herbal character than on the nose, which plays well into the finish. not as much heat as i'd expect from the abbv, but some nice high-alcohol floral notes. finish is fairly dry.
feel ~ light body and higher carbonation support the lighter flavors (i think it would feel more 'muddled' with a heavier body). the higher carbonation also dries out the finish and plays well with the hops.
a real treat. complex without being muddled: the flavor has a lot to offer and explore with each sip. highly tasty and drinkable, this one is really sneaky given the abv.
i really love trips and this one is quite literally the grand-daddy of them all!

A wonderful spicy/fruity aroma.
Lively head at first pour that subsides somewhat but remains to the bottom of the glass.
Beautiful golden honey color.
Highly carbonated, almost champagne-like mouthfeel.
Complex malty flavor with lots of spicy depth.

4.8/5 rDev +11.6%
Appearance: The beer pours a hazy golden color with LOTS of carbonation. A 1-inch head forms immediately and is staying put about 10 minutes after the fact. That's impressive head retention. It leaves some nice lacing as it goes down, but don't count on it sticking around.
Smell: It smells of sweetness, light-colored fruit that I cannot put my finger on, and a boozey-smell that reminds me of champagne. I cannot really smell hops, but let's see how it tastes.
Taste: Clove, banana, spices, esters, and a boozy flavor that warms up along with the beer.
Mouthfeel: Bitter hops are almost non-present at the beginning, but you'll experience them around the end of the beer's flavor. Westmalle Tripel ale has the dry, spicy finish that I crave.
Overall: I could have written another 2-3 paragraphs about this beer, but it's so darn tasty that I hit the major points and skipped the nuances. This is a tasty, fine, and EXPENSIVE beer (Think it was $4.50 or $5 for that one bottle) that one might only buy for a special occasion

A: Poured from a 750ml into a Westmalle chalice style glass; fantastic golden orange colors with near white head and excellent lacing.
S: Pleasant spice and citrus nose
T: Initially somewhat fruity with spicy notes in a relatively quick dry finish. Definitely warming but not in an obtrusive way.
M: Medium bodied with good carbonation
D: Smooth and enjoyable, especially for the alcohol present; A tripel to measure all against.
Easily my favorite Trappist and an absolute favorite in the Abbey style Tripel catagory. If it wasn't so cost prohibitive I would enjoy it much more often. Classic.

Presentation: 33cl custom European-style brown bottle, with raised glass stamped "trappist" around the neck.
Appearance: Cloudy pale orange with a nice head! It's got the whole Brussels Lace going on with a creamy, bitty head that sticks a retains with little awakening (swirling in the glass).
Smell: Tart apricot, lemon grass, pepper, pale malts and alcohol all wrapped in a slighly pungent aroma.
Taste: A bit crisp upfront with a slick mouthfeel. Many layers to this brew: fruit (ripe passion/apricot), big burst of spicy alcohol, fresh cut hay flavour, dextrin sweetness, raw honey, yeast and a slight medicinal background flavour. Complex. Very complex.
Notes: The quintessential triple in our humble opinions. An exceptional beer, blissful to taste. Roughly 9% abv.

A - Opened and it was a gusher, had been sitting in refrigerator for over a week and was opened like normal. Lost about 3 oz. of beer. Poured with a two finger head, extremely cloudy, with lots of yeast and junk floating in it. Extremely carbonated, most carbonated beer I have ever had.
S - Clean pilsner malt smell, slightly sweet aroma with some phenolic spice.
T - Some residual sweetness, very spicy phenolics, alcohol, with a somewhat tart and harsh finish.
M - Too carbonated, I like a nice carbonated Trippel but this was ridiculous. Light and dry when you can get past the C02 assaulting your mouth.
D - One was more than enough for me.
I can't even describe how disappointed I was in this beer. I was expecting something extraordinary and what I got more like a decent home brew Belgian Strong Ale. I have two more and am hoping that this was just a bad one. I have never had a gusher like this and the over carbonation was just insane. This can't be the same beer everyone loves so much, especially since I really like Belgians!

MADISON — Wisconsin wildlife officials say hunters have reported killing 20 wolves since the state's first organized hunt began last week.
As of Tuesday, hunters reported taking six wolves in far northwestern Wisconsin's management zone; six wolves in the far northeastern zone; two wolves in the mid-northwestern zone; two wolves in the mid-northeast; three in the mid-central; and one in the south.
The hunt began on Oct. 15. It's set to run until hunters kill a statewide total of 116 wolves or until the last day of February, whichever comes first.
The hunt could end sooner in management zones where hunters meet zone-specific quotas. They're closet in the mid-northeast, where they can make three more kills before reaching the zone's five-wolf limit.

Bill Huizenga on Tax Reform
When the government overtaxes our capital, they also drain our spirit. I want to protect the American spirit from a leviathan government. The flat tax is one of the best means of doing so.
Politicians often run for office saying they won't raise taxes, but then quickly turn their backs on the taxpayer. The idea of the Pledge is simple enough: Make them put their no-new-taxes rhetoric in writing.
In the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, candidates and incumbents solemnly bind themselves to oppose any and all tax increases. While ATR has the role of promoting and monitoring the Pledge, the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is actually made to a candidate's constituents, who are entitled to know where candidates stand before sending them to the capitol. Since the Pledge is a prerequisite for many voters, it is considered binding as long as an individual holds the office for which he or she signed the Pledge.
Since its rollout with the endorsement of President Reagan in 1986, the pledge has become de rigeur for Republicans seeking office, and is a necessity for Democrats running in Republican districts.
[The ATR, Americans for Tax Reform, run by conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist, ask legislators to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge in each election cycle. Their self-description:]
In the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, candidates and incumbents solemnly bind themselves to oppose any and all tax increases. Since its rollout in 1986, the pledge has become de rigeur for Republicans seeking office, and is a necessity for Democrats running in Republican districts. Today the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is offered to every candidate for state office and to all incumbents. More than 1,100 state officeholders, from state representative to governor, have signed the Pledge.
The Taxpayer Protection Pledge: "I pledge to the taxpayers of my district and to the American people that I will: ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rate for individuals and business; and TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."
Opponents' Opinion (from wikipedia.com):In Nov. 2011, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) claimed that Congressional Republicans "are being led like puppets by Grover Norquist. They're giving speeches that we should compromise on our deficit, but never do they compromise on Grover Norquist. He is their leader." Since Norquist's pledge binds signatories to opposing deficit reduction agreements that include any element of increased tax revenue, some Republican deficit hawks now retired from office have stated that Norquist has become an obstacle to deficit reduction. Former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, co-chairman of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, has been particularly critical, describing Norquist's position as "no taxes, under any situation, even if your country goes to hell."

Remembering Padre Laverty
Padre A. Marshall Laverty, University Chaplain from 1947 to 1983, died on Sunday, February 20.
Affectionately known to generations of Queen's students, staff and faculty as "the Padre" – a nickname he acquired during the Second World War while serving as chaplain in the Canadian army – Rev. Dr. Laverty was considered a campus institution. His appointment as Queen's Chaplain in 1947 was the first of its kind to a Canadian university.
An ordained minister of the United Church of Canada, Padre Laverty performed countless baptisms, marriage ceremonies and funeral services for Queen's people during his tenure and after retirement. At a time when Queen's was a much smaller place, he personally connected with a large proportion of the community, assisting with queries and requests for help, and welcoming many into the home he shared with his wife, Frances, near campus.
There will be a memorial service in celebration of his life at Chalmers United Church, 212 Barrie St., Kingston, on Saturday, April 30 at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Padre and Mrs. Frances Laverty Bursary at Queen's would be appreciated by the family.
Please see the Spring 2011 issue of the Queen's Alumni Review for an obituary.
As a new Artsci frosh wandering on campus in 1982, it was wonderful to meet the Padre and have him know and fondly remember Frank "Pep" Leadlay. I was the only Leadlay of my generation to attend Queen's, following in Pep's lively footsteps and talking about him and what he meant to Queen's football and later buildings on campus (1950s) helped to cement my love of Queen's and Kingston. The Padre was a very special spirit and will be fondly remembered, and I'm grateful for the time and care he so willingly gave to make me feel welcome and at home at Queen's all those years ago.

The Padre was renowned for never forgetting anyone's name. If he had met you once, the next time he saw you he would address you by your Christian name. He was so very kind and had a way of making everyone feel special, which was appreciated by a young undergraduate in 1978.

I arrived in Kingston in 1968, just married, as a new graduate student. Fresh from New Zealand, Worldly unwise, finding my way in Canada. The welcoming events for new students were friendly, enabling us to get established. Padre Laverty and his wife graciously invited small groups of students to their home, and we remember them for their generosity, warmth and humanity, and the huge part they played in making Queen's the great university that it is.
With sincere sympathy to the Laverty family.

My recollection is that Padre and Mrs Laverty invited all first year students to their home for a Sunday evening.Mrs. met us at the door and intoduced us to Padre who then introduced us in turn to all who had preceded us-and so on until all had arrived. Thereafter Padre never forgot a name even calling me by name when I first saw him after a 3 year absence between graduation and return for Law.
A fine gentleman supported throughout by his wonderful wife.
My sympathy to family.

As a first year student I could hardly wait for the famous Sunday invitation...then when the day arrived I was terrified that I would forget something!!! The Padre's memory for names and faces was phenomenal to say the least.Many years after I graduated and completely in a place out of Queen's context he greeted me as he had when I was a student..with warmth and sincerity.He was in many ways to me the real Queen's...a place where folks cared for and about each other.He will long be lovingly remembered and verly much missed.

Padre was a great mentor to many students and was always there to support you whenever you needed it. He was a great supporter of our entire 89-90 AMS Council. A magnificent man!
I am deeply thankful that Queen's was still small enough that the Padre (and his generous wife -- Mrs. Laverty to me back then) still tried to host most frosh in their home on Alberta Street in small gatherings for good conversation. Thus began a ten year face-to-face relationship and life-long friendship. The occasions were many -- University Services in Grant Hall, Holy Communion in the Chapel, long talks in his office in the Gym, meetings with small groups of us in the SCM to help plan programs and events, chance meetings on the campus. A more open-hearted man I have yet to meet. He touched my mind, heart and spirit.

Padre Laverty was a significant role model and mentor in my life and I remember him with both fondness and a smile. During University years, when many young people struggle to hold onto their faith, the Padre was a grounding force for me, encouraging me to question, search and seek for truth. His love for students and his Lord endeared him to us all. In 1980 when we chose to be married, Padre Laverty lead the ceremony ,and I will remember forever his twinkling blue eyes, and bushy white eyebrows as I said my marriage vows :)
Mrs. Laverty you were a very special lady too, thanks for the Sunday's at your home!

Padre Laverty became a very good friend to my late husband and me, both while we were students, but even later when he stayed with us here in Nanaimo several times on his cross-country trips to encourage students to go to Queen's. We also enjoyed Mrs. Laverty's teas when we visited Kingston on Reunions or Grant Hall Society dinners. They will always be fondly remembered. He was a true Christian gentleman.

My husband and I were one of the couples that Padre married. In the University chapel in 1963. He was a wonderful, caring and very human chaplain and I remember him with great affection.
I was a just-arrived-in-Kingston Meds'57 freshman wandering the streets in search of lodging. I don't remember how I met him, or where, but the Padre introduced himself and then told me about a room on Arch Street, which became my home for that first year. Back in those olden days, Padre Laverty, as many will recall, prided himself on knowing every student's name. He would even cross the street to greet you by name! Except he always called me "Dave." I know he will be missed, both in person by his friends and loved ones, but also by the many thousands of Queen's alums who remember him with great fondness.
