Let's get right to the point.
Is Kevin Kolb really the best option as the Cardinals' next starting quarterback?
Since late April, spicy rumors have persisted that Arizona was ready pull the trigger on a deal with the Eagles for Kolb, who has been relegated to second fiddle behind a rejuvenated Michael Vick in Philadelphia but is considered by some league observers to be another Matt Schaub in the making — if given the right opportunity.
Eagles head coach Andy Reid has stuck to his guns in at least requiring a first-round draft pick in exchange for Kolb, a second-round draft pick in 2007 who remains a relatively unproven commodity at the pro level despite a few impressive flashes here and there, most notably his three-TD, 326-yard effort (on 23-of-29 passing) in the Eagles' 31-17 win over Atlanta in Week Six last season.
Deservedly or not, Reid probably will get a first-round pick and more, with a bidding war quite possibly developing between the Cardinals and Seahawks, who have been rumored in some circles to be offering a first- and a second-round draft pick for Kolb.
Memo to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll: You might want to reconsider that plan of attack, as you would be doing the Cardinals a huge favor you really could end up regretting down the road.
Enter Kyle Orton, the best of at least five much better Cardinal QB options than Kolb in my opinion.
The new braintrust out in Denver continues to promote a spirited competition for the Broncos' starting QB job in 2011 between the incumbent Orton and former first-rounders Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn. But recent fan polls showed that more than 80 percent of the Broncos' fan base preferred Tebow, Denver's top pick last year, to Orton.
If ever there was the foreshadowing of a bleak future in Denver for Orton, it came during the best performance of his career in the Broncos' 49-29 slaughter of the division-rival Chiefs last season in Week 10, when his career-high four TD passes and 131.5 passer rating ended up being a sidebar to Tebow's TD run and three-yard score on his first-ever pass at the pro level in the same game.
Truth be told, Orton has been lost in the shuffle for whatever reasons much of his career despite numbers that merit much more serious recognition — especially when matched up against those of Kolb.
In 61 starts over six seasons, the 28-year-old Orton has a career won-loss record of 32-29. He has posted winning records in every season in which he has played except last season, when he passed for more than 3,650 yards for the second consecutive season and registered a career-high 87.5 passer rating with an excellent 20-9 TD-interception ratio.
Meanwhile, in seven starts over four seasons, Kolb has a 3-4 record as a starter with a very forgettable career 11-14 TD-interception ratio.
Orton fares better statistically than Kolb in every major passing category except completion percentage (Kolb's 60.8 mark is slightly better than Orton's 58.1) and has been a lot better than average for prolonged stretches as the starting QB in both Denver and Chicago, where he was never quite the same after hurting his ankle.
If I were Ken Whisenhunt or Rod Graves, I would forget about Kolb and shift gears in the direction of Orton, who just happens to have reportedly spent a little time this offseason playing catch with Cardinals ace WR Larry Fitzgerald.
And if Orton wasn't available, Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck, Baltimore's Marc Bulger, Cincinnati's Carson Palmer and even Tennessee's Vince Young, who is being strongly endorsed by Cardinals DE Bertrand Berry, all would be on my radar ahead of Kolb, who is not worth as much as he will probably end up bringing in trade.
After the Cardinals opted for a running back (Ryan Williams) despite much greater needs in the second round of this year's draft and inexplicably ignored the offensive line altogether, I don't have much faith in them seeing the light that Orton would provide at the end of the NFC West tunnel.
I have a bad feeling that a commitment to Kolb probably will keep them buried in the NFL's most nondescript division.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Police are forming an home invasion investigative team after another Peoria couple was held at gunpoint in a less than a month's time.
While police said there is no need for panic, they are reminding residents to take precautions.
"I can't imagine what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night and be confronted with multiple armed suspects," said Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard.
That is what happened to Jeffrey and Susan Mckenna at their home in the 6600 block of Greenwich Place. Three masked men broke in, bound them and took their valuables. Now police are reminding residents to think twice.
"This is a call for a good healthy dose of self awareness and caution and taking inventory and stock of the security around your home," Settingsgaard said.
Neighbors in the Chadwick Estates subdivision are now taking extra precaution.
"We're concerned," said neighbor Rick Cieker. "Now we are going to use our alarm system."
Oberlander Alarm Systems has been protecting Peoria homes since 1956. Consultant Jeff Embry said that having a home security system will scare off robbers up to 80 percent of the time.
"When they see that signs outside, they know there's a possibility they'll have this system," Embry said. "So they're less likely to attempt a break-in."
Embry said the company has seen a significant increase in residents asking for home security services.
"People tend to be reactive rather than proactive," Embry said. "Security may have been on the back of their minds for a while, but then they say, 'Well we live in a really nice neighborhood, so it probably won't happen to us.' "
Police suggested that there are other ways to protect your home and neighborhood free of cost. Being active about reporting suspicious behavior is the first step.
"There is a difference between being paranoid and being vigilant," said Peoria Police Captain Mike Eddlemon. "You can't assume things won't happen in your area."
Neighborhood Development Specialist Steve Fairbanks said there are 70 neighborhood watch programs in Peoria.
"The neighborhood watch programs are only as effective as the neighbors participating," Fairbanks said.
He said that the neighborhood watch signs outside of houses may scare intruders, but actively reporting suspicious behavior helps even more.
He also suggested certain practices that you can start doing any time such as keeping your porch lights on, limiting the shrubbery around windows, locking your garage door at all times of the day and getting to know your neighbors.

"It's not like I'm like putting that on billboards," said the actor in his own defense. "Ostensibly Instagram is for all my fans, but you know now all the bloggers are following me on there, so they'll just take it and use my images for whatever they want."

- About Deakin
The Faculty of Health is excited to announce a brand new course that will be offered from 2015 the Master of Child Play Therapy.
Child Play Therapy is a growing specialist area within the mental health and early childhood sectors. It is an evidence-based profession in which play is used as the medium to transform childrens lives when they have experienced abuse or trauma, have a developmental disorder, or are experiencing a mental health issue.
Deakin is the only university in Australia offering training in Child Play Therapy. This two-year master degree provides specialist training for health, welfare, and education professionals who work in community-based services with children and families who have experienced developmental, emotional, trauma or events that result in or comprise a mental health issue or concern.
Practitioners from the early childhood education field, and people currently working with children and families who have trained in the health and welfare professions such as occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, psychologists, paediatric and mental health nurses, creative arts therapists (e.g. music therapists and art therapists) will find this degree of interest. Basic prerequisites include experience working with children and families, and a relevant undergraduate degree.
Graduates will be eligible to become a Registered Play Therapist with the Australasia Pacific Play Therapy Association (APPTA).
Following the closing date for applications, short-listed applicants will be invited for interview. Only candidates deemed suitable at interview will be offered a place.
The School of Health & Social Development will hold an Information Session for current 3rd year students interested in an Honours year in 2015. The session will be held in room GA1.29 at Green Wood Park campus between 3 and 4.30pm, Wednesday 3 September. Contact Gary Sacks for more details.
Rhiannan Frusher, a first year Bachelor of Nursing student at Deakin's Warrnambool Campus, and Natalie Dowling, a first year Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry student at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, have both been awarded the Give Them Wings health scholarship for 2014. Both students are members of Deakin's Rural Health Club - NOMAD
Give Them Wings is a partnership between the Royal Flying Doctor Service Victoria and Rural Health Workforce Australia. The scholarships are awarded to rural and regional students in their first year of study and are valued at $2500 to put towards university living expenses. Award recipients also gain a Royal Flying Doctor experience.
A big congratulation to Rhiannon and Natalie who were two of the four recipients to receive the scholarship.
For more information on the 'Give Them Wings' scholarship recipients head to the RFDS website
In response to the recent implementation of a ban on smoking on all Deakin University campuses, the School of Health and Social Development conducted a survey that asked respondents about their smoking behaviour and their attitudes to smoking and the new policy. The full results can be seen in the illustration below.
The Deakin University Public Health Innovation Unit has announced a two-day masterclass open to health professionals, managers and executives, health planners and those active in health promotion and community services. The masterclass offers the chance to interact with leading national and international experts who are experienced in tackling the challenges of assessing and responding to health literacy needs, especially of 'hard to reach' groups.
The masterclass is now full, however you can go on a waiting list to attend by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr Matthew Dunn, Senior Lecturer in Public Health was interviewed on Sydney radio station 2UE by Angela Catterns on Tuesday 29 April about the Australian Crime Commission's latest report on illicit drug use in Australia. The interview focused on the dramatic increase in performance and image enhancing drugs being detected at the Australian border. In 2012-2013, there were 10 356 detections of these substances, the highest number on record; overall, a record 86 918 national illicit seizures occurred during this period.
Has the war on drugs been won? Will it ever be won? Dr Dunn says that when you take one drug off the market, people will find others. Australia spends more money on policing drugs rather than reducing the harms.
The Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN) had great success at the 2013 Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) Awards held on Tuesday 3 December. C-PAN were finalists in two of the nine award categories, and won one of the awards.
Professor Kylie Ball, Professor David Crawford and Dr Sarah McNaughton, in partnership with the National Heart Foundation and Coles Supermarkets, received the VicHealth award for Promoting Healthy Eating. The award was presented by the Minister for Health, the Hon David Davis.
In addition, Professor Tony Worsley was a member of a team led by RMIT that was a finalist for the VicHealth award for Preventing Harm from Alcohol.

Since her hiring, Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has stated that the goal of the Jacksonville University women's basketball team is to win an Atlantic Sun championship. With six games left in the regular season, the race to the postseason is now.
The Dolphins hosts FGCU and Stetson this week and look to build off their 6-1 record at home. On its home court, JU averages 74.9 points per game, while the Eagles average 67.4 points per game on the road and the Hatters average 76.6 points in road contests.
The Eagles head into town on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 5 p.m. and will be the first to compete against JU in the newly-renovated Swisher Gymnasium. The contest also holds special significance because it will be the Fin's Play 4 Kay game. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Jacksonville will sport pink sneakers and jerseys. Fans in attendance are encouraged to wear pink as well.
The Eagles command the all-time series, 12-1. In the last meeting between the two, nearly 20 minutes of no scoring plagued the Fins as they fell 56-49. Freshman guard Sherranda Reddick led the team in scoring with 14 points to go alongside seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Last week, the Dolphins rallied but were unsuccessful in recording defensive stops as they fell on the road to Northern Kentucky, 69-61.
Though they trailed the entire contest, JU was only two or three scores out of the loop for a majority of the second half. A 6-0 run closed the gap to five, 56-51, with 3:59 to go and senior forward Jade Cargill later knocked down a layin to bump the score to 63-59 with 1:47 left but the squad couldn't get a stop.
Averaging 18.5 points, sophomore guard Queen Alford directed JU's offense last weekend. In the loss to Lipscomb she recorded 20 points with seven rebounds and two steals. At NKU, she achieved her third double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 boards.
The Eagles knocked off Kennesaw State last Saturday, 76-42, to improve their record to 18-7 on the season and 12-1 in the conference. Senior captain Sarah Hansen currently leads the team with 13.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. She is trailed closely by redshirt-sophomore guard Whitney Knight who is averaging 13.2 points and sophomore guard Stephanie Haas who averages 11.2.
The Dolphins host Stetson on Saturday, Feb. 22 in a 1 p.m. tipoff.

Re: cub culivator colors
Yes...what I used. Good stuff.
Re: cub culivator colors
FWIW, I use Rustoleum. First I sand or brush things as best as can be, then brush on (no spraying) thick primer for rusting metal--2 coats best. Then Rustoleum's Gloss Royal Blue with a brush. 2 coats best again. I use throwaway "chip" brushes.
Re: cub culivator colors
Very good info on cultivators, Like to thank TC for posting this thread.
Re: cub culivator colors
This seemed like a good time with this thread and members have been asking me for these, to show I now have decals available for the early cub cultivators
#201 & 202 are for the first blue cultivators that went on the right tool bar, they were originally a painted stencil, I offer it in two versions, #201 is the vinyl replacement and the other #202 is a vinyl cut out so if you want it like the factory you can paint it over the stencil and just peel it off and it will lool like the original, both are in the same font and size
#203 & 204 are for the cultivators that were red mounting frames and blue bottoms around 1955 when the fast hitch was released, that is why the blue tool bar decal #204 has the designation F-144
#203 was on the red mounting frame on the right side
I showed pics of originals along with the new decals so you can see locations also so you know where they are located
thanks Tim

Hundreds of Virginia schools are being told to come up with a new lesson plan after they failed to meet at least some new federal benchmarks for student achievement.
Those schools, including about 70 are in the Richmond and Tri-Cities area, will have to develop and improvement plans for reading, math, or both. Some will even have to have a special "coach" get involved, according to the state.
The focus is on low-performing schools, often in economically disadvantaged areas.
"What we're seeing is a real shift in federal education policy," said Charles Pyle with the Virginia Department of Education. Pyle says the shift is from the Bush-era "No Child Left Behind" policies to what the state describes as a more flexible program under the Obama administration.
"It's not sufficient to just look at overall performance," Pyle said.
Instead, Virginia's public schools are now measured against certain benchmarks, and whether student subgroups are meeting required levels of achievement. And, there is work to do. More than 500 schools, for example, must implement some sort of plan to raise achievement, according to the state.
21 of those schools are in Henrico, 20 are in Richmond, and 14 are in Chesterfield.
"It'll be a local responsibility to develop these plans based on the specific needs of the school," Pyle said.
In addition, some of those schools must engage with what's called a "turn around partner" or a state-approved coach to help turn around the numbers.
"Someone to come in and actually provide boots on the ground at the central office level. Even at the building level to assist the school division in raising the achievement of the students," Pyle said.
To look at the numbers a different way: 68% of the state's public schools successfully met their new annual benchmarks.
For detailed information on the benchmarks, including the specific schools that were named by the Virginia Department of Education, click here.

Review: The best network monitoring system on earth
ScienceLogic EM7 brings ultraflexible, ultrascalable, carrier-grade network monitoring to the enterprise
The trouble with network monitoring is that the more you know, the more you find you need to do. Some shops will make like an ostrich and do the bare minimum so that they can plead ignorance, while other shops use only what the vendor tells them they need to use. I wanted a solution that neither tied me to a single manufacturer nor hid its head in the sand. At the same time, I demanded a tool that wouldn't blithely send alert blasts I then had to sort through, but would put those alerts into context.
It turns out the solution I was looking for is ScienceLogic's EM7. It's a carrier-class monitoring system capable of scaling to truly staggering proportions, but still appropriate (and affordable enough) for my smaller network at the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology's (SOEST) Research Computing Facility.

Poured at the 1st Manhattan Cask Fest. This was a 6oz sampler in tumbler glass.
A- Pours an orange red with strong red hues. Nice looking Irish Red.
S- Light hop and malt notes on the nose of this beer. A bit more hoppy than your normal Irish Red.
T- This was a nice somewhat hoppy Irish Red. The hops do not stick around in your mouth a long time. I like that a lot. Some nice sweetness in this brew too.
M- Medium thickness in this brew. Classic cask carbonation too.
D- Nice easy drink brew. The cask makes it even easier to drink.

On tap at Cole's.poured from the tap a deep bronze with a thinner but well sustained slight off white head,mixed aromas of sweet caramel and spicey/leafy hop made it very appetizing.A big lightly sweet toffee presence really showed itself along with a hint of caramel melding into a big spicey hop finish with notes of of leafy mint lingering.A solid and somewaht complex red ale a good combination of malt and hops,another winner from FFF.

3.48/5 rDev -13.9%
Appearance This came out a beautiful bright brown in color and very clear with a nice, pitting head.
Smell The huge, complex hops show good promise for this effort at the difficult IRA style. I especially enjoyed the piney notes that reminded me of home.
Taste Where did the hops go? This turned into a rather dull malty Red with some annoying tanginess. The hops were all bark and no bite.
Mouthfeel This is short of medium-bodied and lacks any sort of bitter or dry notes.
Drinkability This one started off looking and smelling good but in the end disappointed.

This is just outstanding on tap, way better than I remember it being in the bottle. Wow! Brian Boru blends biting pine and orange zest hop flavors with robust caramel and brown sugar malts. Its full of body and spunk. It looks good with a red amber body and thick tan cream head. The malts and hops are balanced beautifully in the aromas of mandarin, pineapple, toffee, and caramel. Carbonation is minimal. MF is creamy initially, becomes dry and biting halfway through, and then goes back to the malts. I cant say that it really fits the style, but it obviously isnt meant too. Its a great beer that just happens to cost way too much in the bottle these days. All the more reason to seek it out on tap.

I was excited to see that Three Floyd's bottled this one this year. Pours from the bomber a nice bright red with caramel tones along with a creamy, bubbly khaki head. Aromas start with big, fresh grapefruity citric Amarillo hops. There's a sweet caramel underneath with hints of candy toffee. Mangos, pineapples, oranges....so wonderful and vibrant I could sniff it all day long.
First sip brings a nice, smooth creamy caramel maltiness that soon gets overtaken by the huge hop presence. A cornucopia of fruity hop notes that leave a nice bitterness on the way down. There's a bit of nutiness in there as well. So damn good...Three Floyds has taken an Irish Red, kicked it in the ass and made it their own.
Mouthfeel is nice with a smooth, creamy body that is rather full. This goes down so easily I could drink it all night. I must say..this is the Irish Red I want to be drinking on St. Patty's Day. Three Floyd's has done it yet again. Highly recommended.

A - pours clear amber with one finger of creamy off-white head. Head has good retention and leaves lacing behind.
S - smell is citrus, floral and sweet caramel malt. Smells like an amber-ipa hybrid. Nice.
T - nice floral hop bite up front, followed by considerable caramel malt sweetness. I think the hop presence is a nice compliment. This bottle is several months old. Would love to try a fresh bottle to see how assertive the hops are.
M - medium mouthfeel. Slightly sticky with a dry finish and some lingering bitterness.
O - For me, the hop presence is a big improvement on a traditional amber. I would like to see more Irish red ales around. Would definitely like to try a fresh bottle.

The only FFF brew you can find in RI still, because of it straggling on the shelves. I havent tried this one yet, so I decided to pick it up despite it probably being ever so slightly out of code.
Pours an extremely murky reddish amber with a half-inch head that dwindles down to a small froth afloat the beer. Decent lacing. Very attractive beer.
Smells of sweet malts, some hoppiness, biscuity, caramel/toffee, cherries, yeast.
Tastes very sweet as well. It is very malty sweet and I sense that this beer must have been a little hoppier when fresh. I can still taste the hops but they lack any punch. Very bready and caramel malty, not much of a finish though. Which is where the hops seem to have fizzled out a bit.
Mouthfeel is semi-watery, not very carbonated.
This beer is good, but obviously better when fresh.

Odd, that I live in a state bordering Indiana, but have to drive to Blacksburg, Virginia, to find Three Floyds.
Appearance: 22 ox bottle pours a clear, copper mahogany body with ruby highlights. Very radiant as it beckons in the imperial pint glass. The head is two fingers tall, beige and sticky. Nice head retention and gobs of patchy lace adhere to the sides of the glass.
Aroma: Pungent ruby red grapefruit and orangezest immediately greet the nose. The citrus hoppiness is soft and easy, but assertive. Restrained malty notes of caramel and toffee are in the background.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, with moderate carbonation and some hop oiliness.
Taste: Very much like the bouquet, taste is ruled by a soft, but assertive, citrusy hops profile. Pink grapefruit, with orange and pineapple accents. Toffee and caramel are underneath, but become slightly more apparent as it warms. The hops soften even more near the finish, taking on more of a pineapple flavor. A very interesting take on an Irish Red. Think of a "Smithwicks on Steroids" with a cask of fruity citrus hops.
Drinkability: Nothing like any Irish Red Ale that I've sampled before, but not a big surprise coming from Three Floyds. This one seems to be some kind of Irish Red hybrid, but succeeds on its overall quality and fine construction. Excellent drinkability. The Amarillo hops really work well here. Very tasty!

on tap @ Track 84 in warwick, R.I., poured clear almond Amber, with a standard tan head, and leaving minimal to minor lacing, bland malty nose. This a pretty tame, malty Red Ale, notes of vanilla and honey picked up amoungst the decent malty crest of this brew.Very minor hop character. Looks like this beer in bottles is quite hoppy....interesting cuz the tap version pint that had, was malt and more malt. Nothing special, but a decent sessioner, if your thing is middle of the road malty brew.

Poured a nice ruby red color with a tan head that disappeared almost as fast as it developed, quite disappointing. Smell was awesome, pineapple and resiny hops greet you, probably not very true to style, but it's smells so good. Taste reminds me of red Kool-Aid for some reason, piney hops kick in to help out and a slightly roasted finish. I just didn't care for the Kool-Aid taste, maybe I'm missing something. Lower carbonation and light to medium bodied. It was a decent beer and loved the smell, but I can't say I'd search this out. This is the first FFF's that I didn't find to be awesome, but then again, maybe I'm missing something. I'll probably try it again to double check.

Out of a brown glass bomber, pours ruddy amber color, with a frothy 2 finger head, with fair retention and ample lacing.
The aroma consists of spicy hops, sweet malt, yeast, and some citrus. The flavor is comprised of caramel malt, a subtle nip of hops, and some candy and cherry, and generally fruity overtones.
The mouth is light on the front, smooth and bittersweet on the finish, as the hops and sugar both assert themselves, leaving a sticky residue upon the lips. A little sugary on the back to be highly drinkable. Has a solid overall balanced, but seems slighly off balance. Not one of the best from FFF.

Bottle (2012)
Acquired via trade
Thanks, dannyfrost!
Cloudy copper in color with a large khaki colored head that sticks around nicely, eventually leaving messy webs and walls of stick down the glass. Gorgeous.
Some bright hop character initially, eventually overpowered by sweet, caramel malts and simple grains and breads. Appropriate for the style, while being hoppier than anticipated--always a good thing!
Some sweet malts and bread flavors are complemented nicely by bright, citrus and light pine flavors. Very low bitterness, and incredibly drinkable. A very nice, tasty version of a style I usually pass up.
Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation.
A hopped-up, super tasty version of an otherwise pretty lame style. Well done, FFF!

Received this as an extra from TonyBrew in a recent trade. Thanks again!
Appearance- Pours a translucent, dark copper red out of the bottle with a smallish half finger or so of slightly copper-tinged white head that dies back pretty quickly to a very small ring around the edges. No real lacing or beading to speak of.
Smell- Wow, surprisingly hoppy. Starts off with a combo punch of resiny hops and a big, bready whiff of caramel malt. An interesting combo that almost reminded me of a maltier Nugget Nectar in some ways. Very solid smelling however and made me curious about the palate.
Taste- The interesting combo follows through into the palate as well. Up front, I get a surprising punch of resiny hops. The hops die back fairly quickly in the face of a strong bready maltiness, highlighted with flavors of caramel and toffee. Finishes off on a slightly sweet note. Really enjoyed the flavors mixing together here as I thought was an interesting and delicious take on the style.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Mouthfeel is just a hair on the thin side but adequately carbonated. Great flavor profile though and my glass went down very easily.
Overall, a very interesting take on the style and I enjoyed the blend of flavors quite a bit. Give it a try if you get the chance and look for a fresh bottle so you get the unique hops.

Update: 3/3/12
I love the label, the story of Brian Boru, and drinking a hoppy Irish red ale. Old Irish Red Ale at that.
Pours beautifully into my 3 Floyds pint, head forms thick and rises well above the rim of the glass. The body is a deep copper color with some chill haze casting over it.
Aroma has killer hops with a citrus/pine/tropical fruit medley pretty amazing nose to this beer. Underlying malt profile is well hidden by hops but it's there with a nice softness and hints of caramelized notes.
First time I had this is was a bit aged, which this beer shouldn't make it out of the Spring to be honest it should be gone by St Paddy's. Ohio supposedly didn't get much so I'm fortunate that my local got a case. This beer fucks George Killian's horse in the arse with hops, it has what every Irish Red is lacking...hop character.
I'm surprised that this beer has a honey addition, finishes extremely dry and well balanced no overt sweetness left behind, it had to have been fermented out. A nice upfront bitterness that gives of some pine/earthiness and citrus pith on the palate, with a soft oat addition giving the body a bit more girth.
Mouthfeel has bone dry finish which appeals to us hop heads who simply can't get enough, the body is pretty light for how much is going on in this beer no thickness no cloying aspects simply pleasurable experience thus far.
Drinkability amazing I could literally drain bottles of this stuff, I'm happy to say I have a pilgramage planned for late April. I may see some of you folks there. Salute, to 3F's for being amazing and for fuckin' George Killian's horse in the arse with hops of course.
Appears a deep caramel copper body, with a light tan beige head dwindles slowly I'm salivating just thinking about this one. Hop aroma flowing strong with no one else in mind. Herbal alcoholic flow again on I can't believe it let's do some more damage to our brain cells. What a great flow of aged hop aromas that come our way flowing oh so nicely. Flavors flow well so easily the malts blend nicely with the hops I'm burping up the combo of the two. Flavors contain caramelized biscuit malts with strong herbal slightly piney hop flavors really goes well together. Mouthfeel is medium bodied carbonation is sturdy but no overplayed flows really easily. Drinkability twenty two ounces is effortless enjoy this one and raise your glass to Brian Boru I'm about to Google his ass sounds pretty badass.

Dolphins fall to Florida Gulf Coast, 65-55
Related Links
A cold shooting start lasted throughout the game for Jacksonville as Florida Gulf Coast held off a late rally for a 65-55 win in Atlantic Sun Conference play on Saturday at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
Jacksonville (4-19, 2-10 A-Sun) was led by Aloys Cabell's 13 points, his eighth straight game in double figures. The Dolphins offense was unable to overcome their mistakes, turning the ball over 21 times with the Eagles cashing them in for 22 points.
FGCU (12-11, 7-5 A-Sun) got a game-high 19 points from Bernard Thompson, who hit 7-of-10 from the floor and 5-of-6 at the free throw line.
"We made too many mistakes in crucial situations that stopped our momentum," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "We did a good job of crashing the boards and limiting them to just one shot on most of their possessions. We just made some timely mistakes that we couldn't afford to make late when we were trying to get back into the game."
Leading by eight at the half thanks to late spurt in the first half, Florida Gulf Coast scored the first seven points of the second half to build a 44-29 lead on a Chase Fieler 3-pointer with 16:52 left in the game.
Jacksonville slowly chipped away at the lead, cutting it to eight, 46-38, on a Tevin Galvin free throw with 11:114 left in regulation and eventually had the deficit down to five, 55-50, on a Jeremy Bogus 3-pointer with 3:33 left.
FGCU squelched the Dolphins rally with four straight free throws and JU's next basket came on a Glenn Powell tip in with 1:33 left. Jacksonville was unable to mount another run as the Eagles held on for the win.
Thompson led three Eagles in double figures, with Christophe Varidel adding 12 off the bench and Sherwood Brown scoring 10 points and pulling down a team-best seven rebounds.
Florida Gulf Coast used an 11-4 spurt late in the first half to take a 37-29 lead at halftime and it would have been more if not for an Evin Graham layup at the buzzer for JU.
Delwan Graham led the Dolphins with eight rebounds as JU held a 39-28 edge in rebounding. Jacksonville struggled shooting all night, hitting just 15-of-49 (30.6 percent) from the floor.
The Dolphins face off against Stetson on Monday night at the Arena in a big matchup for JU's hopes of making the A-Sun Tournament. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

With eternally increasing data sets and heavier application requirements, IT needs to be able to move faster than ever to deploy and manage larger infrastructures.
Luckily, along with these growing requirements, we also have the ability to automate many of these tasks in ways we could not just a short time ago.
Jamie Thomas is general manager of software-defined systems at IBM. In this week's New Tech Forum, Thomas takes us on a tour of a software-defined environment that can move in real time, easing the burden on IT and speeding the delivery of business-critical applications. -- Paul Venezia
Building a software-defined environment
The consumerization of IT poses unprecedented challenges to organizations. Mobile and social media, along with the large amounts of data they generate, have placed increased pressure on IT. In particular, the pace and transient shelf life of data have increased attention on the agility and optimization of IT resources.
At the same time, infrastructure within data centers has become increasingly heterogeneous and complex to manage over the last decade. Many tasks related to deploying a new solution or application are still done manually, in some cases adding weeks to schedules. On top of that, IT teams often perform their tasks with little knowledge or understanding of what data center resources an application requires.
To become effective in this new, data-driven world, organizations must move to the next generation of automation, one that understands the requirements of business applications and responds to those requirements in real time -- in other words, a software-defined environment. In a software-defined environment, IT becomes simplified through open standards, as well as responsive to shifting requirements and adaptive through policy-based automation. Such an environment is developed by automating infrastructure across server compute, storage, and networking resources.
The value of abstracted infrastructure
Many organizations develop business applications using processes that are time-consuming and labor-intensive. It all starts when developers work with business unit experts to create new applications. When these applications are deployed into production, the infrastructure on which they run is controlled by IT operation specialists who optimize for a particular resource -- such as compute or storage. These domain specialists frequently have very limited understanding of business application requirements.
This old-fashioned approach often leads to inefficient, underutilized infrastructure and diminishes the ability of IT to respond to business needs effectively.

Bricked legsI'm a 3S athlete and my legs are bricking - and it's not an isolated event. In training and on race day my swims go well, my bike times are solid, but when I transition to the run I brick. I should note that I do not ride a tri-specific bike. It's a road bike and I don't have aero bars. Anyone have any tips on how to better prepare my legs?

Andy- bricked legsAre you doing brick workouts on the weekend?
Are you pacing on the bike for the run? I usually slow down towards the end of the bike, gear up, spin more, to prepare running into transition and going to the run.
Have you checked your nutrition and hydration? As for me, my nutrition and hydration changes for the run.
Are you kicking too much on the swim?
Brick workouts, either swim/bike, bike/run, and even swim/run will all help prepare you to run on tired

RE: StacyF - bricked legsYes, I do brick workouts on Saturdays and that's when I brick. Excuse the pun. I'm really not pacing on the bike. I'm trying to go fast and hard. The last 2 miles are downhill and I can coast at 22-25mph with minimal pedaling. Perhaps I need to dial it back a bit. Moreover, I'm sure I could use some nutrition and hydration tips. How much should I consume on the bike? I take two water bottles with me (48oz total). One with water only and the other mixed with Hammer electrolyte mix. I eat shot blocks and sometimes a lara bar on the ride. As for the swim, I make an effort to let my arms do a majority of the work and kick steadily and methodically. Thanks for your help.

Andy L and sorry for the length2 miles is not a whole lot of time. If I am doing a half (70.3), I start preparing at the 9M mark; all attacks have to be done before then. Some people do it based on time; others on distance, so you will need to decide what works best for you.
Race nutrition is one that you will have to just experiment with. I am very lean (122#) with 11% bodyfat, so I have to take in 150-200 calories every 45-55 minutes on the bike; the run is a different story. Those calories come in a combo of solid and liquid fuel. As for hydration, plan based on the temperature, weight, distance, and intensity. If it is 90 degrees, add 20 degrees to that and that is the temp that you need to plan your hydration at. I live in the land of Hotter than Hell, so Heed does not work. I use a combination of EFS and Salt Stick. For long training rides and really hot long races, I carry a max of four insulated bottles - two on the back of the seat (EFS), one on the bike (that's nutrition), and if it is really hot, and I'm going far, I'll put one in the back of my jersey- preferablly one that I froze or filled to the rim with ice for the cooling effect.
It is better to have too much hydration than not enough. Hydration is more important than the nutrition. You can always ditch what you don't need, or be a friendly triathlete and pass it off to the struggling triathlete that will be very thankful.
Last but not least, have your bike fit looked at by someone trained in fitting bikes. There are numerous brands of bike fitting, so be sure that you go to someone who is trained by a specific certification program- BG, Retul, SICI, ect. There is a difference between a comfort fit and a racing fit. Any change in fit will require some time for adjusting.
Shelled, bricked, heavy, hammered, skeltoned, fried, burnt, popped, blown up, cramped, shattered (did I miss any?) legs are all part of the game. You just have to find what works best for you.

5/30/12 WOD- Bricked LegsIntervals on the bike this morning. Those 30/30's were really hard, especially near the end. No S&C today will get that done tomorrow.
How are to attacking the bike? Are you stand climbing hills or spinning? That can make a difference itself. Also, you may want to get off the bike and just run for a while with no plan on pacing and see how you feel. Also, how are you timing your bike-run bricks? Longer bike short run, short bike long run, etc. Those types of training adaptations will make a difference. Hope this helps.

Yesterday's Daily Results(forgot to post yesterday) Oops!
STR: Back Squat 3RM - 235 PR!
That's a 5+ PR over what I did at the CFE War Camp in Austin in March! (The last rep sucked ;)
WOD Rx'd @ 165# BS = 3:36
Tabata Row, 9x 20:10 W/R
Overall Avg Watts = 337 PR!
m: 104-102-102-100-100-99-99-97-98 Avg Watts/Int: 394-350-350-340-329-329-319-310-319
TOTAL Distance: 901m
>> That's a +7 watt PR on my average from December. I maintained higher watt splits each round until round 7 this time too; and didn't crash at the end (Round 9) like I have in the past.
Also just tested my hematocrit at work and I'm in the normal healthy range of 45% -- so that's a blessing, because I swore I was anemic -- probably just a lack of training the past couple of week = upped the SuckFactor!

Gonzales, La.- Former LSU running back Charles Scott is found not guilty of sexual battery.
Scott was arrested in November of 2011 and accused of raping an 18 year old woman at his home in Prairieville.
District Judge Jessie LeBlanc heard the case Tuesday.
If he had been convicted, Scott could have faced ten years in prison.
Scott was a starting running back for the LSU Tigers, but his professional football career never really got off the ground.
He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 then landed a spot with the New York Giants, who waived him. He spent time on the practice squads of the Eagles, the Giants and the Arizona Cardinals.
He is now listed as a free agent.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
