Being Able To Kick-Off May Help Reyes
(I took the liberty of posting this whole article because it's from a small paper in Texas)
[size=14pt]Reyes still taking snaps[/size]
Though former Allen punter Alex Reyes recently signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent, he is still a well-rounded, level headed young Texan.
Before the National Football Leagues Draft, Reyes was at home. With all of the pressure from people asking when he thought he would be drafted, and the other surrounding distractions, Reyes made his way to what has always been his second home.
"I just packed up my pole in my truck and drove 30 seconds down to the creek,†Reyes said. "That's the place where I can just leave my phone and everything in my truck and just relax. I could drop my line 100 times and not catch anything, but I don't mind. I just like the opportunity to be there and relax.â€
Reyes and his best friend John Cherry lived in the same neighborhood since they were two-years-old. Every morning they would wake up at 5 a.m. and head down to the creek where they would string turtle lines and wait for the sun to hit the right spot so they could fish.
The two would get into the occasional neighborhood mischief like water balloons and such, but most of the time they spent their mornings at Bethany Lakes in a spot which they called, "The Creek.â€
"There was this one spot that we would always fish at,†Cherry said. "We would get on our bikes and ride down there almost every day. One morning we got there so early we had to wait an hour just for the sun to come up so the fish would start biting.†And when Reyes decided to take a break from the draft, John made his way down to cast a line with him.
"Me and Alex will always go fishing together,†said Cherry, who grew up three houses from Reyes. "Actually, I thought if Alex was going to be a pro at something, he would be a professional fisherman. Still to this day we will meet up and go fish at 'The Creek'.â€
In his senior season at Allen, Reyes was set to go to Southwest Texas University before he was offered a scholarship to Texas Tech, where he played under Red Raiders Head Coach Mike Leach.
He became the first kicker/punter to receive a scholarship under Leach.
In high school, under former Allen Head Coach Joe Martin, Reyes was first team all-district for the Eagles, where he was the kicker and punter. Reyes' high school average was 44 yards per kick and he was the No. 17 punting prospect in the country according to Max Emfinger's Blue Chip Recruiting 500.
"We though he had a real chance to go to the next level when he was in high school,†Martin said. "His personality allowed him to handle the pressure of sitting on the sideline and then come in to make an important kick for us.
"Also you couldn't just see it, you could hear it. Whenever he kicked the ball, you could hear it all over the stadium and in my 20 years of coaching, you don't get that kind of kicker very often.â€
Martin said he never told Reyes that in high school because he didn't want the Allen kicker to get a big head. Beyond that, Martin viewed Reyes as a humble, well-rounded person.
During his collegiate career at Texas Tech, Reyes punted for 6,890 total yards. He averaged 43.3 yards over four seasons and posted a career high 45.2 yards in his senior season.
In his junior year, Reyes kicked a career-long punt of 71 yards against Indiana State. Out of 159 attempts, Reyes had only two punts blocked.
With all of the accolades and accomplishments, it would be easy for the former Eagle to feel that he has done enough. But what Reyes says is most important to him is becoming a well-rounded kicker.
"I want to be in the top 5-7 kicking,†Reyes said. "But I want to be good at everything. I want a good net average and to pin the other team deep. A lot of kickers might kick it into the end zone for numbers, but I want to take care of all of the little nuances. There are a lot of things that make a kicker great, and that's what I want to accomplish.â€
As each round of the draft passed, Reyes slipped. Punters aren't generally high on the priority board.
On some scouting reports, his strengths were his leg, but his youth and raw talent was held against him.
After the draft, however, the rush was on.
All of the NFL teams find out who is left on their draft boards, and what positions they need to fill. Punter was a priority for the Vikings, and they found Reyes instantly.
"One of my best moments in coaching was when he called me the day he signed that contract,†Martin said. "I thought it was really a cool thing that he included me on that day and it was a special thing for me.â€
With as many options as possible, the low-key Reyes headed out to dinner at Hooters with two life-long friends, Cherry and Bubba Sedlacek.
Now, Reyes remains focused on taking his game to the next level. He says the game has changed again now that he has moved from the college level to the NFL.
"The speed of the game is outrageous,†Reyes said. "You have the best players from college all on one team. Where you used to have a weakness or a missed assignment before, they aren't there anymore. My deep snapper puts the ball in the spot where I want it every time. Everybody here is perfect at what they do.â€
Playing under Vikings Head Coach Ray Childress, Reyes feels confident he can make the team. He is already a personable guy and that adds to team chemistry.
On the field, he can kick off and due all of the other duties expected of a multi-use kicker. Reyes wants to make himself a marketable player, one who is capable of handling as many responsibilities as possible, which will make him more of a benefit to the team.
But in the end, he feels that it's not up to him.
"It's whether Coach Childress likes what he sees or not,†Reyes said. "If the organization sees me as a fit for the team, then I will make. I can only go out and perform to the best of my ability, but it is really up to them.â€
Grounded and humble, Reyes has a good idea of his possibilities and limitations. He sees the big picture, and has plenty of support from his parents, to former coaches to hometown friends.
Don't be surprised to see Reyes on Sundays kicking in purple and gold.
Also, don't be surprised to see him dropping a line 100 times in Bethany Lakes without catching a single fish.Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.

Pale yellow, just a bit darker than Budweiser. Meh.
Faint smell of hops, very average. Nothing interesting about it, but nothing bad about it either.
Tastes sweet with a kiss of hops--not unpleasant, but it's nothing special.
Good mouthfeel--foamy, yet crisp. This is the best aspect of this beer.
It's a good standard Oktoberfest beer. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I will drink it.

Golden pour with scant head and lacing.
Evenly carbonated with sweet malt and autmnal spice notes at the nose.
Mild brew with little character up front but goes from sweet to only a touch bitter on the finish. Not overly sweet and the spiciness on the nose does not translate well to the pallet. Interesting, I expected the sweetness to over power the spice, but I struggle to detect an abundance of either.
Light bodied and pleasant, a shade above too thin or watery.
Over a descent interpretation of the Marzen, I could easily drink many, but as far as innovation and character go, I would say just a touch on the bland and unexciting side.

Notes from fall 2010
Pours a translucent dark golden brown with maybe 1/2 finger of head. Nice carbonation rising throughout. Smell is faint, slightly sweet smelling malts, but nothing more distinct than that. Tastes like a lager, but not in the Marzen style. Crisp and pretty clean, but taste doesn't really stand out in any way. Mouthfeel is light with a high carbonation level, too much for my liking. Overall, this is okay but not at all memorable.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a big dimpled mug. There is no noticeable freshness date on the bottle.
Appearance: It has a deep rich golden body with visible carbonation and good clarity. A two finger thick and foamy white head sits on top. It slowly fades to a thin layer that hangs on well and some slick lacing.
Smell: The aroma is light and has a delicate light grain note with a slight hint of spicy hops.
Taste/Palate: It has a crisp pale biscuity malt with some light roasted notes as well. There is a mild sweetness from the malt and a nice equal balance of bitterness and leafy/grassy/spicy hop flavor notes. It finishes crisply with a slight balance towards the bitter hop side. The palate has a medium body with plenty of active carbonation.
Notes: Stoudts has an extremely drinkable crisp body and nice simple flavor that I could drink plenty of with some soft sour dough pretzels and mustard.

12 oz Oktoberfest bottle as shown on the brewery website, purchased as a single at the Vintage Cellar. My first Festbier of the season. Pours a clear and glowing copper amber body with a khaki head that rises one finger. Good retention before falling into profuse patchy and sticky lace. Munich malt aroma has notes of molasses, maple syrup, and toffee. Spicy floral hops back up the sweet maltiness. Mouthfeel has a light medium body with appropriate medium carbonation. Taste is dominated by the same maltiness noted in the aroma. Munichesque notes of toffee, molasses, caramel, and a definite hint of maple syrup. Restrained, but adequate, presence of floral and spicy German hops. Very tasty, but heavyhanded with the sweet Munich malts. Just a bit too sweet for good drinkability.

I got this case at the Beer Mart. I drank it in a pilsner glass. No date on the case, which pisses me off. The bottles have expiry date on them (1/2/06), but in Pa. you usually gotta buy a case. Date on the case, please!
Pours a beautiful orange/amber with a 1/2 finger head of beige colored foam. The head drops to islands and a ring, with decent lacing on the glass. Looks pretty well carbonated.
Aroma is delicate bready malt, not even slightly fruity, with a gentle hop spiciness. Smells slightly toasty sweet.
Flavor is delicate toasted doughy malts, an easy hop bitterness, and a kiss of spicy hops. The flavors in this are all soft, clean, and delicious. Aftertaste is so clean and malty and nice!
Mouthfeel is smooth and malty. Perfect amount of residual sugar here. Carbonation is fairly soft. Finish is smooth and sweet.
I can't imagine a much better O'fest. The aroma and flavor are delicate but impressive; makes you want more! Highly recommended.

12oz brown bottle,served in a SA glass.
Slightly hazy,medium amber with a 1" creamy white head,fair retention,good carbination,some tiny bubbles stringing from the sides of the glass,constiant flow of bubbles rising.
The aroma was on the faint side,toasty,sweet malt with some slight metallic,not offensive. A good bit of fruity esters,pear/peach.
Tasted like a German style,very tangy,earthy mineral tastes. Fruity tastes had a nice tartness to them. Some doughyness,toasty/nutty well balanced,finishes witha nice,crisp herbal grassyness that turned dry with a mouthwater bitter finish. Very enjoyable.
Light bodied compaired to most O-fest i've tried with a bit of grainyness. Pleasing,goes down smooth,a sessionable O-fest. Wish I had another. A very good beer overall.

On tap poured into a .5l fluted glass.
Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Nose is malty and sweet. It's got a light hoppiness to it but fairly muted.
Taste is crisp and creamy with a nice finish. It's got some toffee notes with a light hop presence. Very drinkable.

Clear straw yellow with a low wispy head that settles out quickly.
Low aroma of doughey malt and grassy notes.
Subtle flavors of delicate biscuit malt, toffee and cinnamon. Light lemon essence in the finish. Mild bitterness, good balance.
Even mouthfeel, full with moderate carbonation, finishes tingly. Tasty and drinkable, good representation of the style.

This past Wednesday at Bocktown Eddie Stoudt came and hosted a tasting. So I have been blessed with draft versions of Stoudt's Pils, APA, and Oktobefest all weekend. Enough about my love for these PA breweries let's talk about this bottled festbier I'm about to crack open.
Pours with a copper body large off white head about two finger width and dwindles down at a slow and steady pace lacing forms in patches pretty evenly with each sip. Since the clarity of the beer is so nice you can see steady streams of bubbles rising from the bottom of my pint.
Aromatics provide mild toasted nut with sweet caramel accents with an even flow of Noble hops bring some spicy grassy, mild citrus, and herbal hop qualities to my senses. There's a somewhat metallic mineral edge with some fresh cut green apple tartness coming through just a bit.
Flavor equates to the reason why we call beer liquid bread. The roasted malt flavor packs enough hearty sweetness with mild toasted almonds and pure breadiness this beer has to offer. The balancing flavor with the mineral water crispness and spicy herbaceous hop character really make this beer the best O fest I've come across so far. Finishes with a tamed skunk herbal tone, grassy, with mild citrus peel hop flavor combo you can't really go wrong especially with ample bitterness to boot.
Medium bodied brew sturdy carbonation that tickles the throat with out being too heavy. Lingering hop bitterness really remains on the palate after the sweetness clears. A really soft velvety texture to it, kinda hard to describe.
By the liter, I can't wait until we get this back on tap the sixtel was gone in a day or two, while the pils didn't last much longer. The Stoudt's did us all justice when they brought all bottling back in house another example of why PA breweries kick ass in the lager categories. If you plan on picking some up grab more than a bottle this one is case worthy if your buying any Oktoberfests this season. For me this isn't a style I'm really crazy for but this one puts it together so well, it's incredible. That's comparing it to Paulaner, Hacker Pschorr, Hofbrau, Great Lakes, Victory, Penn, Samuel Adams, and Weyerbacher versions that I've already tasted this year.

Poured 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A - Poured with almost no head and no lacing at all. What head I saw was fizzy and dissipated immediately. Crysral clear light orange in color.
S - Spicy malt character followed by alcohol. Not as much malt and roasted aroma as other oktoberfests.
T - Tastes better than it smells. Malt: Light, Spicy, Biscuity/Grainy. Hops: A little hop bitterness in the end but that's it.
M - Light bodied and highly carbonated
D - It's a light, drinkable beer but not worth craft brew money in my opinion

3.48/5 rDev -3.9%
Had on tap at Tanks Tap Room Tampa FL October 2006. Appearance medium dark, with fair head to start, though it dissipated quickly. The smell is slightly off putting at first, definate caramel, malty and hints of toasted grains as others have said, but also a strange musty aroma too. Taste reflects the caramel, malts and toasted grains, with fairly heavy texture, and light carbonation, though hints of a hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Taste is better than the initial aroma suggests. I enjoyed this, though would not class it as an really good example of an Oktoberfest beer, maybe for my taste a little drier and crisper aftertaste would have made it even better. Worth trying if you see it, though not sure how it compares on tap to that in the bottle.

Amber-copper in color, this beer has a bit of chill haze to it. It grows a compact tan head about a finger tall that sticks around as a foam after it drops and leaves some spotty lacing.
The aroma's maltier than the flavor, which gives more hops bitterness. It's earthy in all respects, and there's even a touch of funk in the nose. A hint of must remains in the aroma the entire way, though a flash of sulfur on the front drops off quickly. The flavor gets a little more vegetal with a green apple element and more of an herbal and floral hops bitterness to it, leading all the way into a leafy sort of finish.
The body is medium with a biting carbonation which leads to a pretty nice smoothness underneath that's dominated by a crispness that bites too harshly. It has the makings of something that could be good but is too heavily carbonated.

A: Pours light amber in color with a small, off white head. Little lacing to speak of.
S: Malty aroma, not much else though, relatively boring aroma.
T: Again, pretty boring. Some sweet malts and a biscuit flavor as well. No hop flavor, unmemorable.
M/D: On the thinner side, seemed watered down. Had high hopes for this beer, but it was a let down for me. Will reach for other beers in this style in the future.

Stoudt's- Oktoberfest
Appearance- Light copper brown with a small soay head.
Smell- Very light caramle, brown sugar, and hay/ straw.
Taste- Caramel brown sugar malt with Saaz hop Pilsner flavor.
Mouthfeel- Very light and watery. Sweet and malty in the end.
Overall- Very disappointed with this one. Stoudt's is usually pretty solid but this years Oktoberfest seems to be dumbed down.

16oz pour at Double-Wide Grill, served in a standard pint glass
A - thin wisp of white foam flashes away almost instantly to some floating bubbles. the beer is crystal clear, bright orange in color.
S - very sweet, biscuity malts. lightly toasted malt aromas slowly creep in as it warms. kiss of grassy hops at the end.
T - biscuity and bready malts, touched with some honey sweetness. turns slightly bittering with a twinge of grasy hops and toasted malts.
M - thin bodied with lively but not overdone carbonation. very clean, with lingering malty sweetness.
D - pretty good, basic example of the style. refreshing and goes down pretty easy...wouldnt mind celebrating Oktoberfest with a few of these.

Apperance: presentation good....nice light amber color with a little bit if a golden/copper tint to it. Head was thin and foamy, just shy of two fingers and left quickly and it laced my glass just at the top.
Smell: not much there in smell overall....a little toasted malt scent and a off smelling sweetness to it. Also just a touch of fruit and hops in their somewhere.
Taste/Mouthfeel: somewhat a bland taste. Malt does show through and slight bitter caramel flavor is present. A spicy hoppy flavor taste lingers in my mouth upon completion. This beer however is very smooth and is easily drinkable, perfect carbonation level.
One of the better American "oktoberfest's" beers I have had yet...but not great. I would recommend this beer to others and I plan on looking for other Stoudt beers!

Picked this up at Total Wine on special. It's the 2010 release but I was desperate for a change from the watered down summer offerings so I figured $1 was a gamble I could afford for a taste of what the next few months have to offer.
Pours a dark straw color with a mountain of head overflowing the pint glass. There's very noticeable carbonation and great head retention. Smells malty and a little soapy. Taste is caramel and roasted malt, a little nutty, and smooth with very little hop bitterness. This beer is very carbonated lending to a lighter than expected mouthfeel.
Overall, I'm not all that impressed. This was OK. I hate to judge a Stoudts offering on only a single bottle. I'll buy one fresh and revisit.

A- Pours an amber color with orange hues an a nice off-white head that possesses good lacing and retention.
S- Very nice malty aroma with toasted malt and caramel, and a slight metallic twang that is a bit distracting.
T- The taste like the aroma is dominated by the toasted malt with a mild hop bitterness in the finish.
D- This is a pretty good American produced Oktoberfest that is worth a shot.

It was only a matter of time. Numerous reports from the field leave little doubt that Apple OS X has become the target of its first widespread malware campaign -- in the form of Mac Defender (aka Mac Security or Mac Protector). Mac Defender is classic scareware: You're prompted to download and install an antivirus program to protect your system, when in fact the program itself is malicious.
Because the OS X malware campaign is the first of its kind, both Apple and Apple customers seem confused, with flames flying back and forth in various forums -- aggravated by a recent report that Apple support is refusing to help users remove the malware.
[ Master your security with InfoWorld's interactive Security iGuide. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. | Discover the key Mac, iOS, and Apple tech trends for business users with InfoWorld's Technology: Apple newsletter. ]
To clear the air, we offer some basic questions and answers about the ongoing Mac Defender travails:
This isn't a virus or vulnerability within OS X, so how is it Apple's problem?
Anytime a company's customers are being exploited, it's the company's problem, especially when that company has made a point of saying these sorts of things hardly ever happen on its platform. Even in the Microsoft Windows world, most successful malicious exploits don't depend on a vulnerability within the Windows operating system.
Microsoft doesn't help customers deal with malware, so why should Apple?
The premise is dead wrong. After fighting cyber criminals for over two decades, Microsoft's support staff is fully trained at malware detection and removal. Microsoft has multiple commercial and free antimalware products, and large portions of its security websites are dedicated to malware detection and removal. Check the default Microsoft security page for yourself.
What's the best way to stop scareware scams?
Education is the best defense. If you know what real antimalware software looks like, you're less likely to fall for the fake kind. Many companies say they do a good job at computer security education, but fail to include a single screenshot of the legitimate antimalware software they've installed on employee machines. Of course, if you're a Mac user, it's likely you don't have an antimalware program at all, other than the extremely limited one provided in OS X by default. Thus, any antimalware warning is fake.
But isn't that already readily apparent to anyone who isn't running an antimalware program?
If that was the case, Mac Defender wouldn't be making headlines and ruining the week for many OS X users. Never underestimate users' need to believe everything they read and click on anything they've been told to run.

Pours pitch black with a thinner deep tan colored head atop.Alot of dry roast and bitter chocolate in the nose,some sweet alcohol and dark fruit creeps.Dry upfront on the palate with an onslaught of dark fruit and molasses hitting midway,some drying comes into effect late leaving some residual dark fruit notes lingering.Not a whole lot of chocolate although it's there,there is a good amount of roast and dark fruit flavors,not to mention alcohol.

22oz into tulip
A- Its dark-brown, most definitely not black, with a clean tan head which dissipates at a moderate rate
S- Alcohol sitting on-top of a roasted malt body. Almost toasty vanilla with oak, i guess theres a bit of chocolate and coffee, but not what dominates it for me
T- A mocha with vanilla syrup. Reminds me of the brown oat bread you get at some steakhouses (even Outback...) with butter. Smooth, roasty and yeasty.
M- It's just fine; the liquid wants to be syrupy but the millions of bubbles won't let it
It's a good beer, one I would drink again if it was poured for me. Not one I would go out of my way to order or buy, unless it was on sale. Not bad by any means, but really doesn't hit my "world-class" mark.

Served in a tulip glass from a bottle. Pours black with a small head a very little lacing. The aroma is of roasted coffee with some chocolate. The roasted malt flavor enhances the mouth feel and taste. I was just expecting more depth. A well done stout.

The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is full of chocolate and heavily roasted malt, with a little bit of cream thrown in. The flavor is similar. There is a lot of roasted malt and a hint of smoke, along with a ton of chocolate. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice, straightforward stout that is easy to drink.

One dimensional, boozy and thin for an American stout especially one that clocks in at 8.5%. I am reminded of Randy Mosher's advice on building a stout recipe to make the grain bill interesting beyond roasted malt.
"Let's see this beer is roasty and uh... roasty with some roast up front and then ... hmm... roasty."

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice.
Appearance: Pours pitch black with a moderate amount of bubbles. About two fingers of tan head that slowly fade into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: A rich and very roasty aroma with lots of chocolate and coffee hints. Dark roasted barley malts upfront with good hints of dark chocolate, coffee roast, toast, cookie dough, burnt caramel, toffee, grains, biscuit, yeast, and nut. Hints of sweet molasses and some anise licorice spicing. Subtle hints of dark fruit raisin, plum, and prune juice. Subtle hints of earthy hops in the background. A very roast and chocolate forward smell.
Taste: Follows the nose with a rich and roasty taste driven by chocolate and coffee notes. Sweet dark roasted malts upfront with tasting notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, toasted bread, dough, cream, grain, caramel, toffee, yeast, and nuts. Sweet notes of molasses. Some noticeable notes of anise spice giving a slight dark licorice flavor. Subtle dark fruit presence with undertones of prune, plum, and raisin. Light notes of earthy hops towards the finish. A pretty solid roasty stout taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Very creamy and smooth. Fairly chewy and slick. A little alcohol heat is felt.
Overall: A pretty solid stout. More like an imperial stout with a pretty rich and roasty profile.

4.39/5 rDev +17.7%
22 ounce bottle, bought at Spec's in Waco. Poured in 2 servings into pint glass.
A: Aggressive pour both times produces a three-finger head, a creamy-light brown color, a bit lighter than chocolate milk. Dark brown body, not black, and rather translucent especially on the edges.
S: Toasty malts, small amounts of vanilla and chocolate.
T: The malts dominate, hints of coffee and chocolate surface from time to time. Tastes very much like roasted espresso beans.
M: IMO, the beer's best attribute. Not too thick, and extremely drinkable, probably the most drinkable stout I've had yet. Drinking the 22oz was a breeze. Could be potentially dangerous sitting at 8.5%. Carbonation is present but not overpowering, and booze is masked by heavy malt flavors.
O: A very good stout, one of my personal favorites up to this point. Will definitely drink again if the opportunity arises.

Poured a deep, rich black with a one-finger tan head that left slight lacing. It looks like a good American Stout. Scents of rich roast malt, roasted black coffee, dark chocolate and cocoa powder. An excellent, true to style aroma profile for an American Stout, but not standout. Flavor begins with rich roast malt, slight black coffee and some toffee sweetness. Moves into a more aggressive roasted malt flavor, more roasted black coffee and more toffee with some cocoa and dark chocolate and molasses in the background. Finish is of roasted black coffee, bitter roasted malt and bitter cocoa. A good, yet standard American Stout flavor profile. Mouthfeel is medium-light bodied with light carbonation and a smooth feel. True to style, no complaints. Overall this is a good, very true to style American a Stout, not fantastic but still a good drinking beer with a nice aroma.

Thick, rich, malty, with some punch, and the consistency of motor oil. Very good; what a stout should be. Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a stout glass; forms a thick head that dissipates reasonably quickly. This stout has a decent aroma and a creamy mouthfeel and a certain tanginess that may not be to everyone's liking, but that I enjoyed.

Poured bottle of Voo Doo into chilled pint glass:
A: A very faint, light brown head appeared in the middle of the glass. A few bubbles showed up but around the periphery but faded quickly.
S: Like a chocolate-covered fruit. Slightly sweet. Hints of coffee.
T: Dark chocolate, sweet to bitter transition. Fruity? I can't pin it down, it fades very quickly.
M: Strong on the tongue for about a second and washes away fast. A little oily.
O: A decent stout overall. The flavor fades a little too quickly for my liking, and I kept reaching for more to keep the ride going.

Thanks to bentwookie for this one.
A: Pours a dark brown/black color with a very large brownish head on top, billowing up to the top of my glass. Decent retention, lasting a few minutes. Leaves behind sticky lacing all over the glass.
S: A bit of roasty malt, bittersweet chocolate, and some faint coffee aroma on the finish.
T: Similar to the aroma, very roasty with some cocoa and chocolate, but of coffee. No lingering flavor.
M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty smooth actually.
O: Very roasty, but an average stout. Easy drinking and smooth. Love the bottle art.

Had on tap at the Yardhouse in Roseville, CA
Appearance - Served a fair black color with a half finger head. Fair retention. Spotty lacing with little stick.
Smell - Fairly standard stout aroma. Roasted malt with hints of chocolate and coffee character.
Taste - Follows the nose. Predominant roasted malt flavor in the form of coffee. Finishes with light creamy chocolate notes. Fairly simple, straight-forward stout flavor.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full in body. Smooth. A bit dry on the finish.
Overall - Good, solid stout. Nothing truly noteworthy, but I'd have no problem drinking it again if there weren't better options available.

Anthony Bitetto
Island Park New York
Eligible for draft:
6th round (168th overall), 2010
210 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: Anthony Bitetto joined the USHL's Indiana Ice in mid-season after skating for the Eastern Junior Hockey League's New York Apple Core the first half of the year. He was plus-seven with 1 goal and 3 assists in 24 regular season games for the Ice. After finishing third in the East, Indiana captured the USHL's Clark Cup playoff title. Bitetto was plus-five with 3 assists and 6 penalty minutes in 13 playoff games. He committed to playing college hockey at Northeastern in 2010-11.
2009-10: Bitetto played a second season in the USHL with the Indiana Ice. He scored 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points along with 99 penalty minutes in 58 games. He added 2 goals, 2 assists, and 19 penalty minutes in 9 playoff games. Not among the 210 North American skaters listed in Central Scouting's final rankings, he was selected by Nashville in the sixth round (168th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft.
2010-11: Bitetto skated in all 38 games for Northeastern University as a freshman and was the leading scorer amongst the team's defensemen. Bitetto scored 3 goals with 17 assists and was minus-two with 66 penalty minutes. Northeastern finished sixth in Hockey East and was under .500 despite winning three of five games from highly-regarded Boston University late in the season. The Huskies lost a tough one-goal game to defending national champion Boston College in the Hockey East semifinals.
2011-12: Bitetto made his pro debut – appearing in one playoff game with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals – following his sophomore season at Northeastern. He had no points nor penalty minutes for the Admirals. Bitetto was the leading scorer amongst defensemen on a Northeastern team that finished ninth out of ten teams in Hockey East. He scored 4 goals with 11 assists and was plus-three with 34 penalty minutes. Bitetto signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Predators in March, 2012 – foregoing his final two years of college hockey.
2012-13: Bitetto split his first pro season between Nashville's AHL and ECHL affiliates Milwaukee and Cincinnati. After appearing in just five AHL games with the Admirals at the start of the year due to the presence of Ryan Ellis and Jonathan Blum during the NHL lockout, he was sent to Cincinnati and returned to Milwaukee when the lockout ended. In 34 AHL games he scored 1 goal with 5 assists and was -1 with 35 penalty minutes. The Admirals finished second in the Midwest Division and lost to Texas in a first round playoff series but Bitetto did not play in the series. In 23 ECHL games with the Cyclones he scored 1 goal with 2 assists and was -5 with 16 penalty minutes.
Talent Analysis
Bitetto is a defensive defenseman with a booming point shot. He is a strong, physical player with good size, who finishes his checks. He has the all-around ability to be an NHL player, but he lacks polish or consistency. His prospects status will veer one way or the other once he faces a higher level of competition.
Like with any defensively oriented defenseman, Bitetto has hit his fair share of struggles with transitioning from the NCAA to the AHL. It has been tough for him to get up to speed with the game and has had to go down to the ECHL for some seasoning. Nonetheless, he still has a good opportunity as a reliable bottom pairing defender, it is just going to take him some time.

Increase has teams well under salary cap
[size=12pt]Increase has teams well under salary cap[/size]
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
Mar 10, 3:18 pm EDT
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain
Re: Increase has teams well under salary cap
Very interesting read.
Guess thats one way to kill the talent level in the FA market.
Make it so that all the teams can resign thier best players to contracts that make them happy.
Although that is a good thing, it can also be a bad for a team if they screw the pooch and draft a guy like T-will who doesn't pan out.
That team then can't rely on the FA market as a means to address thier lack of a quality player at a certain position.
Also, it will keep the bad teams down for several years as they will now have to build through the draft over a period of time and won't be able to run out into the FA market and buy a team.
Long story short, teams need to make sure they score on as many draft picks as possible cause they ain't gonna fix poor drafting with the FA market anymore.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

Re: Increase has teams well under salary cap
I guess most teams have learnt that you can't buy your way to a Championship - ala Washington - and now realise that its best to keep the good players you have.
So will we see a move to more trades involving players/picks instead of players moving via FA?
Either way it will make the player personnel departments far more accountable in the future when it comes to
assessing both potential trades/FA moves but especially for the Draft. The days of getting away with drafting an Underwood, Ryan Leaf etc will no longer be acceptable to owners and fan bases.Time spent annoying a Packer fan is never time wasted...
Re: Increase has teams well under salary cap
This is just a result of the inceasing prosperity of the league combined with a system that keeps players under contract for 4-5 years at a time.
Every year about 15-20% of your players are becoming free agents.
The past several years, the cap has been increasing by about 10%/year.
Consider the impact of this from year-to-year.
With the cap increase, it's as though you have 110% of what you had last year to give away.
If you have 80% of your players signed and eating up 80% of the cap from last year, then the 20% of your roster made up of free agents are able to grab up not just the 20% that came off the books, but that additional 10% from the cap increase.
So they can be overpaid.
When you consider that relatively cheap rookie contracts actually account for about half of the players you lost, or 10% of your roster, but only 5% of your cap space, you now have only about 10% of your roster being brought in through free agency and getting a shot at a pile of money equal to about 25% of the old cap.
To be fair, most teams plan increases in the salaries of the players under contract.
But even if that eats up 5-10% of the old cap value (a substantial raise for every player), then you still have 10% of your players looking for contracts when you have 15-20% of the old cap space available for them.
You can see how players get 'overpaid', since the money is available to pay them 50-100% more than they were worth last year.
But agents have done a relatively poor job of convincing teams to keep up with the salary cap.
So more and more money has been pushed forward or just not spent.
In that environment, re-signing your own guys is easy.
If the current labor agreement lasted and the NFL had a period of relative cap stability, then it would catch up with teams again.
But with the problems with the current agreement, a possible cap free NFL in the future, and no end in sight to the rising revenue streams, it's not likely that the cap will be a big problem for most teams.When the age of the Vikings came to a close, they must have sensed it. Probably, they gathered together one evening, slapped each other on the back and said, "Hey, good job." - Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]

[Watch] Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller's PSA: Text during their movie and they will ruin you
You know what's more annoying than the girl in the seat next to you at the movies who spends half the movie lighting up your aisle with her constantly-buzzing cell phone while she types frantically and giggles to herself over the super f—cking adorable emoticons her boyfriend is presumably sending her every third minute? Nothing.
Even those people who yell at the screen ("girl, he's right behind you! He's got an axe! RUN!! I SAID RUN!!!") as if they were guests of honor at an interactive live theater production are somehow not as irksome as the Movie Theater Texter, who really should just wait until movies come out on DVD if she really can't wait one freaking hour to respond to a text that probably contains super important information along the lines of "wazzup bb? :P"
The Spectacular Now co-stars Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller agree. They recorded this PSA for Texas-based movie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse saying as much. Don't text, don't do it. It ruins lives. Don't do it, or they will find you. And ruin you. That means you, specifically, KEVIN.

A group of friends have so far raised £1,300 for Manorlands by taking part in a tash-tastic charity initiative.
Paul Reynard, of Keighley, and Chris Mcloughlin, of Cross Roads, got together a team to participate in this year's Movember event.
The five men are being sponsored to grow moustaches until the end of the month.
In addition to Paul and Chris, the team also comprises Martin Thompson, from Long Lee, Ben Loftus, from Oakworth, and Marc Wilkie, from Leeds.
People can still donate at their uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/tashtastic7 online fundraising page.
Mr Reynard, of Oakworth Road, said he expected the famous five to raise about £2,000.
He added: "We decided to do this at the last minute, but Facebook has really helped us get a lot of money.
"But I can't wait to get rid of my moustache! We want lots of people to join us again next year, when we aim to raise tens of thousands of pounds."

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The city of Richmond is teaming up with a Roman Catholic health system to bring the Washington Redskins' training camp to 17 acres west of downtown.
The announcement was made Monday by Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones and Bon Secours Richmond Health Systems. Included in the deal is the construction of a $6.4 million sports medicine center that would be used by the team during its three-week camp.
Media reports say the city would be obligated to raise $500,000 a year for the team as part of the arrangement. The camp is estimated to have a yearly economic impact of about $8.5 million.
The training camp would be located on state property behind the Science Museum of Virginia.
The Redskins' camp has been held for the last decade in Ashburn.

"This initiative is one small part of the university's commitment to recognizing faith diversity at Queen's and ensuring that faculty, staff and students receive appropriate accommodations should scheduling conflicts be unavoidable," says Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic) Bob Silverman.
In response to requests for accessible and timely information about high holy days, the university consulted with the Chaplain's Office and other community partners to determine which key dates to enter in the Oracle calendar. The dates selected are those that departments are most often asked to accommodate for faith-based needs, particularly absences from certain activities or from work, according to University Chaplain Brian Yealland.
Due to space limitations, Oracle does not contain comprehensive entries of all faith dates that may require accommodation.
"There are many dates for which people of other faiths—such as Baha'i, Aboriginal spiritualities, Zoroastrianism, etc.—may also require accommodation," says Stephanie Simpson, associate director of the Human Rights Office. "We need to be flexible in our approaches to scheduling and not limited to shortlists."
Users can consult the comprehensive multi-faith calendar, which provides information about the significance of various faith dates and flags those for which absence from work and school is required. Queen's is the first Canadian university to purchase and make available the interactive calendar published by the Multi-faith Action Society of Canada.
Faith-date listings can also be found on the Queen's events calendar.
