I normally expect Red Ales to be malty and way too sweet. This beer is something else
Yes it is malty but it has a wonderful surge of hops. Seems more like an extra malty pale ale than anything.
Hazy dark amber brew with a glow when you hold it up to the light.
Aroma is mostly toasty malt but with some hops in the background. Flavor is balanced and rich. Some copper notes. Floral hops.
Extremely drinkable. I wish I bought more than just one bottle of this, on my last trip to Junction City, KS.

Yum! I've been looking forward to this seasonal, and it lives up to its reputation. Odell just keeps delivering.
A - Nice amber color and thick, foamy head, which persists longer than expected. Good 2-finger lacing. Pretty.
S - All kinds of citrus, no pine. It's like smelling a ripe, red grapefruit -- all fruit and flowers, very clean.
T - Mmmm. I actually made that sound. Twice. This has unexpected balance. It's like a malty red grapefruit.
M - My only criticism of this beer is the parched-tongue feeling I get, like after drinking a tannic wine. Really odd.
D - This goes down readily and willingly. I could drink quite a few of these.

2014 release six pack picked up, must be pretty fresh, date on bottle says 5/2/14, guessing this means drink it by then.. served around 35-40 degrees in the Dogfish/Sierra Nevada IPA glass.
A: Perfect, what an excellent red ale color this has, some decent carbonation, perfect red hint to it. poured with a finger of head that dissipates to a thin layer of head that completely covers the entire surface, which is awesome. lacing isn't huge but there are some long lacing legs up the glass.
S: Smell isn't what you want to judge this beer by, idk if it is just me but it smells almost like a rye IPA, it has a bread/red/rye smell that isn't the best smelling beer ever but either way it's not terrible.
T: Awesome, very fresh, has a big amber ale/red ale taste but you also get the punch of the fruity hops that Odell seems to have mastered. Very refreshing beer, and at 6.5% this is very session-able. I seem to be picking up a bit of bready taste as well as some rye. I don't even know if this beer is made with rye but there is a small bit of the rye characteristics with it.
M: Decently carbonated, feels light yet filling, I could drink a 6 pack in the summer on a hot day even though this is a Winter Seasonal. Very refreshing, great beer, would love to have on draft.
O: Pick this up if you see it, if you are lucky enough pick up their Winter'Spring Montage 12 pack that has this along with their latest Roots Release which for 2014 is a Pale Ale named "Wolf Picker" I believe.. if you can catch this beer on draft than of course give it a shot.
Summary: Best red IPA I have ever had, only one I can compare it to is the Elysian Valhalla Red, Odell is an excellent brewery and they seem to have mastered the fruity, juicy, fresh hops, their IPA is in my top 5 and their DIPA as well. What a great refreshing seasonal. Keep it up Odell!
Update: This beer gets better with every sip, find it and try it, it is amazing.

Deep garnet brown color; small head, though it does leave some sticky lace
Big American hops surprise me-very nice. Was expecting a minor hop presence; this is nearly IPA-level hop aroma.
Taste & Body
First sip wows me. Odell knows how to make great beer. Love this American take on a red ale. So hoppy it's almost like a pale ale or even IPA! Malts are there but in a minor role. Hops are citric fruity and piney bitter; they're working really well together. I'm guessing Simcoe hops were used in the recipe. Pretty clean yeast strain as there's not a lot of fruitiness competing with the hops. Body is right around medium; carbonation seems just a tad low.
An awesome American Red Ale. I'd take this any day over their 5-Barrel or 90 Shilling.

4.6/5 rDev +13%
A=Very appropriate appearance, deep dark red/amber color with nice one finger head with an off white color
S=initially yeasty, malty aroma, followed by very heavy hops smell
T=some initial malty notes with the hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste
M=gently carbonated but very nice feel in the mouth, some light oilyness in the end
D=extremely, very enjoyable beer, moderately high alcohol content but still on the border of sessionable for some, definetly for me.

Tasted on 3/4/11. Reviewed from notes:
A: Copper red color with a half finger of head
S: sweet caramel w/ some hops in the background
T: Lots of tasty caramel malt sweetness but definitely hopepd a little more than your typical red ale. Can't quite pick out what hops they are.
M: Good carbonation gives this beer a nice thinner feel
O: Even as it warms this 6.5% isn't noticable. The extra hops help to put this beer into the elite category of Red Ales. Wonderful lighter style beer.

Got on trade from vasdef42 as an extra, thanks!!
This beer has only 25 reviews and it's #10 for this style...says something huh?
Poured and right off the bat noticed my favorite hop smell, fantastic hop nose and good clear color. Taste matched the smell which is similar to their IPA (LOVE IT) and is very well balanced.
MF and drinkibility are great, if I could get this beer it would be in the fridge all the time! Again, this blows Red Rocket, Green Flash Red, Big Hoppy Monster etc away....

Pours a dark ruby with a thumbs width beige head. Nice lacing. Wow... what a wonderful wonderful aroma. Sweet and hoppy and incredibly balanced between the two. Nectarine, grapefruit, a little pine. I could just sit and sniff this all night I think. Flavor is just as good. The grapefruit and pine seem to hit you in the forefront but its balanced extremely well by the malt backbone which provides some delicious toasty graininess and caramel sweetness, with a touch of some berry in there. A nice silky mouthfeel with an appropriate level of activity from the carbonation. Medium bodied. Overall, my favorite red ale. Love the marriage between malt and hops in this one. Odell with a grand slam.

Appearance - Maple-ruby in color with a tan head.
Smell - Sugary citrus hops, slightly smoke.
Taste - Very nutty flavor with a subtle kick of hops. The malt still tastes a bit sour, but it detracts very little from the overall.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with a somewhat high level of carbonation.
Drinkability - They did it again. I hate ambers/reds... but Odell's has now made a second one that I like a lot. The nutty character is what seals it, but this beer is mostly balanced, with a slight edge towards the hops. I am loving it, and I will be buying this again. And again.

On-tap @ Taste of Tops in Tempe, AZ.
A: Deep red with shades of brown. Good sticky lace. A sexy-looking beer.
S: Floral, fruity malt with a hoppy backbone.
T: The balance of hops and malt is fantastic. Hoppy, fruity and delicious. Great with the spicy Thai food I had.
M: Smooth as a beer can be. Very easy to drink.
O: So balanced. Drink this!

So there is this guy who was a very regular customer of mine when I worked overnights. He would come in, I would remember his name, we would chit-chat. He thought he was pretty sexy with his shirt unbuttoned and his leather cowboy hat and ponytail, but our chats were friendly and quite harmless.
Fast-forward a few months later, when I had come off of days and was covering a leave at my old store. He came in, I helped him, and he told me about an injury that his daughter had sustained, hence the reason he was there. There was a question of whether it was more serious than a simple injury, and tests and assessment were to follow. I gave him my good wishes, and he left. A couple of days later, he comes in with his wife, whom I had never met. I see them finish up at the counter, and as they walk away past the consultation window, I say, "Hey, how is your daughter?" Wife looks at me, her eyes wide, then looks at her husband and her eyes narrow. Ooookay. He mumbles, "She's fine," and they walk off.
Um, I don't know what kind of extracurricular activities of his that she was used to dealing with, but I most certainly was NOT one of them...just your friendly neighborhood pharmacist. He came in on my shift a couple times after that, and out of extreme awkwardness, I always made sure I was way too busy to even make eye contact with him. Thank goodness I have switched stores and don't have to deal with that again.

Former Lions CB Aaron Berry apologized Monday after a second offseason arrest ended his career with the club.
"Words cannot describe how embarrassed I am right now," said Berry, arrested Saturday on simple assault charges that reportedly involve a weapon, in a statement released on the website of Paradigm Sports Management, which represents him. The Lions released Berry on Monday.
Said Berry: "I've let my family, my teammates, my coaches and the entire Detroit Lions organization, including the fans down and I'm so sorry. I know it sounds crazy to some people, but I know I will continue to get better and grow from this unfortunate experience, I have no choice but to get better.
"There are always two sides to every story, and the legal process will be where I will tell my side regarding this recent incident. I love the game of football and still feel I have a bright future ahead of me. I worked my butt off this off-season and I hope to be able to help some team in the NFL win games as I continue to grow as a father, friend, teammate and into the man I want to be.
"I want to thank Coach (Jim) Schwartz, Coach (Gunther) Cunningham, (general manager) Martin Mayhew and all the Lions staff, players and fan base for such a wonderful opportunity where I was able to showcase my football skills. Again, I'm so sorry for letting you all down."
Berry also reportedly faces DUI and other driving charges from a June incident.
Audie Attar, Berry's agent, said in a statement that the cornerback is "heading to Chicago (Tuesday) to enter the NFL's substance-abuse program where he will meet with a team of physicians. He will continue with a similar program in California to ensure he is learning more about himself."
Attar said he was "confident" Berry would play for an NFL team this season.

In the New York Times, Sophia Kishkovsky files a report on Patriarch Kirill's recent youth rallies in Moscow and St. Petersburg where he struck both nationalist and highly personal tones. Patriarch Kirill also did not mention America, but said immoral economies are doomed to collapse. "An economic system built only on the striving for profit, on indifference to the fate of people, on disregard for moral norms, is deprived of stability and can collapse at any moment, burying the fate of people under its rubble," he said. Here in St. Petersburg, Patriarch Kirill struck a much more personal tone. He made a generous reference to Martin Luther King Jr. — whom Kirill said he met in 1968 — and his "I Have a Dream" speech, and stressed the importance of true love and of striving for ideals. "He wasn't a dreamer, he was a brilliant politician, orator, and Christian pastor," Patriarch Kirill said of Dr. King, addressing some 8,000 students.

Greg Palast
|Gregory Allyn Palast
June 26, 1952
Los Angeles, California
|Author, journalist
Gregory Allyn Palast (born June 26, 1952)[1] is a New York Times-bestselling author[2] and a freelance journalist for the BBC[3] as well as the British newspaper The Observer.[4] His work frequently focuses on corporate malfeasance but has also been known to work with labor unions and consumer advocacy groups. Notably, he has claimed to have uncovered evidence that Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and Florida Elections Unit Chief Clay Roberts, along with the ChoicePoint corporation, rigged the ballots during the US Presidential Election of 2000 and again in 2004 when, he argued, the problems and machinations from 2000 continued, and that challenger John Kerry actually would have won if not for disproportional "spoilage" of Democratic votes.[5]
Greg is the brother of Geri Palast.[6]
Palast was born in Los Angeles. He attended John H. Francis Polytechnic High School and transferred to San Fernando Valley State College (now California State University, Northridge) in 1969 before his senior year of high school. Palast said about high school: "Basically they were melting my brain, and I had to save myself. Before I finished high school, I talked my way into college. Before I finished college, I talked my way into graduate school."[1] Palast then attended the University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, from which he graduated in 1974 with an Bachelor of Arts in economics and in 1976 with a Master's of Business Administration. Palast majored in economics at Chicago from the advice of a Weather Underground member he met at Berkeley who suggested Palast "familiarize himself with right-wing politics and learn about the 'ruling elite' from 'the inside.'"[1]
Palast spoke at a Think Twice conference held at Cambridge University[7] and lectured at the University of São Paulo.[8] He lives in New York City.
Selected stories[edit]
Presidential elections[edit]
Palast's investigation into the Bush family fortunes for his column in The Observer led him to uncover a connection to a company called ChoicePoint. In an October 2008 interview Palast said that before the 2000 Election ChoicePoint "was purging the voter rolls of Florida under a contract with a lady named Katherine Harris, the Secretary of State. They won a contract, a bid contract with the state, with the highest bid."[9]
After subsequently noticing a large proportion of African-American voters were claiming their names had disappeared from voter rolls in Florida in the 2000 election, Palast launched a full-scale investigation into voter fraud, the results of which were broadcast in the UK by the BBC on their Newsnight[10] show prior to the 2004 Election. Palast claimed to have obtained computer discs from Katherine Harris' office, which contained caging lists of "voters matched by race and tagged as felons."[9]
Palast appeared in the 2003 documentary film, Florida Fights Back! Resisting the Stolen Election, along with Vincent Bugliosi, former Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney and author of The Betrayal of America. Palast also appeared in the 2004 documentary Orwell Rolls in His Grave, which focuses on the hidden mechanics of the media.
Palast alleges that Andrés Manuel López Obrador — and not Felipe Calderón — won Mexico's 2006 presidential election.[11]
In May 2007, Palast said he'd received 500 emails that former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove exchanged through an account supplied by the Republican National Committee. Palast says the emails show a plan to target likely Democratic voters with extra scrutiny over their home addresses, and he also believes Rove's plan was a factor in the firing of U.S. Attorneys.[12]
After Palast was invited by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to appear on his Air America talk show to discuss, among other things, election fraud, the pair teamed up to find out if democracy was in a better state in 2008. In their report, which was published in October 2008 in Rolling Stone, they concluded that the 2008 election had already been stolen. "If Democrats are to win the 2008 election, they must not simply beat John McCain at the polls -- they must beat him by a margin that exceeds the level of GOP vote tampering", Palast and Kennedy summarized.[13]
To combat the extensive acts of voter suppression that Palast and Kennedy uncovered, the duo launched a campaign called Steal Back Your Vote,[14] which features a website and free downloadable voter guide / adult comic book.
Long Island Lighting Company[edit]
In 1988, Palast directed a U.S. civil racketeering investigation into the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station project, under construction by Stone & Webster and Long Island Lighting Company. A jury awarded the plaintiffs US$4.8 billion; however, New York's chief federal judge reversed the verdict. The racketeering charges stemmed from an accusation that LILCO filed false documents in order to secure rate increases. LILCO sought a dismissal of these charges on the grounds that Suffolk County lacked authority under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and that the allegations of a history of racketeering did not qualify as a continuing criminal enterprise.[15]
Exxon Valdez[edit]
Palast has also taken issue with the official story behind the grounding of the Exxon Valdez, claiming the sobriety of the Valdez's captain was not an issue in the accident. According to Palast the main cause of the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 was not human error, but an Exxon decision not to use the ship's radar in order to save money. The Raytheon Raycas radar system would not have detected Bligh Reef itself - as radar, unlike sonar, is incapable of detecting objects under the waterline of a ship. However the radar system would have detected the "radar reflector", placed on the next rock inland from Bligh Reef for the purpose of keeping boats on course via radar.
Palast argues the original owners of the land, the local Alaska Natives tribe, took only one dollar in payment for the land other than a promise not to pollute it and spoil their fishing ground.
UK "LobbyGate" Scandal[edit]
In 1998, working as an undercover reporter for The Observer, Palast, posing as a US businessman with ties to Enron, caught on tape two Labour party insiders, Derek Draper and Jonathan Mendelsohn, boasting about how they could sell access to government ministers, obtain advance copies of sensitive reports, and create tax breaks for their clients.[16]
Draper denied the allegations.[17] At Prime Minister's Question Time July 8, 1998 British Prime Minister Tony Blair claimed that all the specific claims had been investigated and found groundless: "every allegation made in The Observer has been investigated and found to be untrue".[18]
Vulture funds[edit]
Starting in 2007 Palast published a series of investigations on what aid groups and investors call "vulture funds". Vulture funds are a private equity or hedge funds where companies or people buy the debt of poor countries and sue in courts to recover the funds, often at the expense of aid and debt relief. Prime Minister Gordon Brown commented on the practices saying "We particularly condemn the perversity where Vulture Funds purchase debt at a reduced price and make a profit from suing the debtor country to recover the full amount owed - a morally outrageous outcome".[19]
In 2011, the UK made permanent the Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Act 2010, which severely restricts the activities of vulture funds in the UK.[20]
Since 2000, Greg Palast has made more than a dozen films for the BBC programme Newsnight with the Investigations Producer Meirion Jones, which have been broadcast in the UK and worldwide. In addition to the films on US elections they have investigated oil companies, the Iraq War, the coup against Hugo Chávez, and the vulture funds which target the poorest countries.
In An Open Letter to Greg Palast on Peak Oil[21] Richard Heinberg offers friendly criticism of Palast who conflates the "amount of oil left" with "peak (maximal) flow rates" for oil, the latter being key to Peak Oil.
After Palast wrote an article critical of left-wing MP George Galloway, Galloway responded by claiming Palast "conflates meetings, truths and half-truths, statements taken out of context to produce a toxic smear which would be actionable in the country he claims to work in." [22]

"A lot of people didn't make it out. Because I made it out, and my sister (Geri, a former Clinton administration assistant secretary of labor) made it out, I feel I have this obligation to tell these stories on behalf of all of those people who didn't make it out."

Timing--SA vs Cub
I believe that on a properly timed Cub the rotor should point to 1 o'clock position when piston #1 is at tdc on the compression stroke. If this statement is true, would that also be true for a SA? Both have mags. Thanks, Dan
Don't know about a Super A, but on a cub magneto the rotor will actually be about 11:30 or so position until it "snaps" then will go to aobut the 1 oclock position. It won't stop dead on the nujber one position, which is about 12 to 12:30 position. look for the 1 with a circle around it on the cap of the SA mag. roto shoud be just before it until impules "snaps" then stop just after it.

Wednesday morning, Francisco Rodriguez found himself back in the courtroom. What was he doing there?
Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez was charged Wednesday with seven counts of criminal contempt for sending his girlfriend dozens of text messages begging for forgiveness, violating a restraining order issued after he was accused of attacking her father at Citi Field.
Rodriguez paid bail and left without comment. A new restraining order, effective through at least next February, was issued to protect Rodriguez's girlfriend and family from further contact.

Travel to and from Fort Morgan is about to get a bit more difficult, as work resumes on I-76 Tuesday.
After a two-month winter break, the reconstruction project from Brush to Fort Morgan is heading into its second and final phase, which includes work along the roadway and a full bridge closure on Highway 71.
Starting next week, traffic will be routed from eastbound and westbound I-76 onto the Highway 71 ramps while crews demolish the highway bridge over I-76. The bridge replacement is expected to be complete in mid-May. During the 90-day construction, interstate traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction periodically. There will be no pedestrian traffic across I-76 during the bridge reconstruction, a release from the Colorado Department of Transportation states.
Beginning in early April, traffic will be put in a head-to-head configuration in the westbound lanes while the eastbound lanes are replaced. This phase of the project will include construction of seven new bridges, concrete paving of the lanes and construction of associated on- and off-ramps. It is set to be completed by December; the first phase of the project began in March 2013.
"By the project's conclusion, crews will have built, replaced or rehabilitated 13 bridges and one box culvert; reconfigured two I-76 interchanges at SH 71 and Dodd Bridge Road to standard diamond interchanges; and lengthened all on- and off-ramps for a safer transition onto and off of the interstate," the CDOT release states. "The existing six miles of roadway throughout the project, including shoulders and ramps, will be repaved. Additionally, long-term drainage improvements will be made along the interstate in Brush, and concrete and asphalt removed during the project will be recycled and reused as road base or concrete aggregate."
Crews will be working Mondays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and occasionally on nights and Sundays. To help cut down on delays during working hours, only one interchange will be closed at a time. The speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph through the construction zone, and drivers are reminded to "slow for the cone zone."
Castle Rock Construction Co. holds the $37.6 million contract for the project, the first Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships (RAMP) project in northeast Colorado. RAMP changes how CDOT budgets for and spends funds on transportation projects, according to the CDOT webpage on the project. "By funding this multi-year project based on year of expenditure, rather than saving for the full amount of the project before it started, the RAMP program helped move this project forward three to five years after it had been shelved for more than 10 years," the website states.

Sotheby's To Auction Original JK Rowling Sketch and More in DecemberJ.K. Rowling
As reported previously, author J.K. Rowling will be auctioning off a hand-written copy of her special "Tales of Beedle the Bard"book for charity via Sotheby's in London, England. The auction house has now added a few more items from J.K. Rowling that will be auctioned the same day, December 13, including this lovely original sketch by Jo. This pencil sketch was made originally by Jo for the for the BBC charity Children in Need in 1999. In the sketch, you can see Hagrid, Snape, Harry Ron Hermione, Professor McGonagall, along with Crookshanks, Dobby, the Sorting Hat, Fawkes, and a snitch. Estimates by Sothby's put this 10,000—15,000 GBP range.
Also due to be auctioned the same morning is an ink and watercolour drawing of "Harry Potter in Conversation with Buckbeak the Hippogriff" by artist Cliff Wright. This item by the artist who designed the jacket art to the UK Children's Editions of the Harry Potter novels, is "signed and dated in biro "Cliff Wright '02" in lower right corner, framed and glazed," with estimates of "3,000—5,000 GBP."
Finally available are autographed first edition copies of the earlier charity books written by Jo, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and "Quidditch Through the Ages," along with a signed set of four Deluxe editions of the first four Harry Potter novels.
A reminder that Sotheby's does have a special deluxe 48 page catalogue available for the "Tales of the Beedle the Bard" book containing a message from Jo and images from the book, where proceeds from the sale will benefit The Children's Voice charity. The actual handwritten book will soon go on display in London starting Sunday, December 9 at 10:00am before the actual auction on December 13, and this viewing is open to the public.

Mikey Garcia def. Rocky Martinez by KO round 8 0:56
Mikey Garcia's first trip up to the 130 pound division started with a scare for the former 126 pound champion. In the 2nd round, Garcia felt the power of a 130 pound opponent, as Martinez landed a perfect shot to drop Garcia to the canvas for only the second time in his career. Garcia was visibly surprised, but it did not impact his performance, as from there on out, it was all Mikey Garcia. Throughout the fight, Garcia did was Garcia does best - pick his opponent apart, slowly building the pressure until he scores the KO. For this fight, the pressure began to seriously mount starting in round 6, where Garcia began really connecting at will and frustrrating Martinez. In round 8, Garcia used his superb left hook again, but this time he brought it to the body, landing a great blow to the liver. Martinez went down, and there was no getting up.
With that win, Garcia effectively becomes the #1 130 pound fighter in the world after only 1 fight in the division. He remains undefeated, and proves that he is indeed something special.
Post-fight, the talk was of a possible Garcia vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa fight down the road.

When it comes to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the pros definitely outweigh the cons. While it may feel unpleasant to push your body to go faster and harder for that short time period, the rewards are worth it: HIIT helps you blast more belly fat, save time, and burn way more calories (even after your workout is long over) than a lower-intensity workout alone. A new study published in the American College of Sports Medicine's Health and Fitness Journal found that a few minutes of training at almost your max can accomplish all of this in way less time than a traditional workout. How much less? Try just seven minutes total. The ACSM's interval workout consists of 12 exercises, which should be done at an intensity of 8 on a scale of 10; each exercise lasts 30 seconds, with a 10-second rest in between. Repeat the circuit if you'd like a longer workout. Keeping the intensity up — and the rest periods short — is key, so click through to learn the moves and then get going! You'll need a mat and a chair or bench. 1. Jumping Jacks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Warm up your body with a vigorous stint of jumping jacks. Do these for a total of 30 seconds. Source: Thinkstock / Eric Hood 1 / 13 2. Wall Sit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stand with your back against a wall, placing your feet about two feet out in front of you. Feet should be hip-distance apart. Bending your knees, slide your back down the wall until your knees are at 90-degree angles. Your knee joints should be over your ankle joints, so you may need to inch your feet further from the wall to create proper alignment. Don't let your knees fall in on the midline of your body, or sway outwards. Hold for 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography 2 / 13 3. Push-Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start in a plank position, with palms spread out evenly and your shoulders over your wrists and legs out behind you. Pull your belly button in and keep your back straight. As you lower and exhale, bend your elbows outward to the sides. Hold at the bottom before you raise back up. Do as many reps as possible in 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography at J+K Fitness Studio 3 / 13 4. Crunches What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sit on your mat and bend your knees, planting your feet on the floor. Put your palms behind your ears. As you exhale, pull your abs in and lift your upper body. Inhale as you lower back down. Keep your chin down to keep your neck from straining, and make sure your ribs are aligned with your hips. Do as many reps as you can in 30 seconds. Source: Thinkstock / nilswey 4 / 13 5. Chair Step-Ups What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Find a step, a bench, or a sturdy chair that when you place your foot squarely on it your knee is at a 90-degree angle or larger. Step up 20 times leading with the right foot, then the left, bringing both feet completely onto the bench. To return to the starting position, lead with the right foot to step down to the floor, then the left, until ending with both feet on the ground. Switch legs and start stepping with the left foot for 20 steps. To make this move more challenging, start by stepping onto the bench with your right foot, bring your left foot up and tap the bench with your left toes, then lower your left foot down to tap the floor (as shown). This is one rep. Your right foot never moves as you bend and straighten your right knee.This works best on a step or bench, something lower than a chair. Repeat either move for a total of 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography 6 / 13 6. Squat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stand with your head facing forward and your chest held up and out. Place your feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider. Extend your hands straight out in front of you to help keep your balance. Sit back and down like you're sitting into an imaginary chair. Make sure your head stays facing forward, not down (focus on something in front of you to help) and that your upper body faces forward as well, bent slightly forward. Rather than allowing your back to round, let your lower back arch slightly as you descend. Lower down so your thighs are as parallel to the floor as possible, keeping your knees over your ankles. Press your weight back into your heels. Keep your body tight, and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography at J+K Fitness Studio 6 / 13 7. Triceps Dips What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Position your hands shoulder width apart on a secured bench or stable chair. Move your bum in front of the bench with your legs bent and feet placed about hip width apart on the floor. Straighten out your arms and keep a little bend in your elbows in order to always keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints. Now slowly bend at your elbows and lower your upper body down towards the floor until your arms are at about a 90-degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench. Once you reach the bottom of the movement, slowly press off with your hands, and push yourself straight back up to the starting position. Repeat as many times as you can for 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography 7 / 13 8. Plank What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lie face down on the floor or face your mat on your knees. Place your palms so that your shoulders are aligned with your wrists close to your head. Push off the floor, raising up off your knees onto your toes and spreading your fingers and pressing down with your palms. You can also try resting on your forearms as shown. Contract your abdominals and pull your belly button in to keep yourself up and prevent your booty from sticking up. Keep your back flat and hold for 30 seconds. Source: POPSUGAR Studios 8 / 13 9. High Knees/Running in Place What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Time for more cardio. March (also called high knees) or run in place for 30 seconds. Source: Instagram User auliya0121 9 / 13 10. Lunge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Keep your upper body straight, with your shoulders back and relaxed and chin up (pick a point to stare at in front of you so you don't keep looking down). Always engage your core. Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle, not pushed out too far, and make sure your other knee doesn't touch the floor. Keep the weight in your heels as you push back up to the starting position. Repeat for a total of 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography 11 / 13 11. Push-Up Rotation What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start in a plank position, with palms spread out evenly and your shoulders over your wrists and legs out behind you. Pull your belly button in and keep your back straight. As you lower and exhale, bend your elbows outward to the sides. Hold at the bottom for one breath. Raise back up to top push-up position. As you reach the top, keep moving in a fluid motion to side plank position: release your left arm and raise it to the ceiling, keeping your body in a long diagonal line. Hold for one breath, then move back into push-up position. Repeat as many as you can, alternating which arm you are raising, for 30 seconds. Source: Megan Wolfe Photography at J+K Fitness Studio 11 / 13 12. Side Plank What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Begin in a plank position (the top of a push-up) and roll over to your left side and plant your left heel down so you are balancing on the outside edge of your left foot. Stack your right foot on top of your left. If this is too hard, bend your left knee and place your left foot flat on the ground in front of your right leg for support. Keep your right arm on your side as shown or reach it straight up toward the ceiling to lift your waist even more. Press your left fingertips into the floor to take pressure out of your wrist. Hold for 30 seconds.

Designed to make hitting great iron shots easy, the XCG6 iron features four tungsten sole weights in the heel and toe. Representing nearly 7-12 grams of each, the tungsten perfectly positions the club's center of gravity to deliver easy-to-hit high flying shots even on off-center hits.
The deep undercut cavity and perimeter weighting moves weight away from the face to the perimeter of the club head. These two features along with the tungsten weights produce a higher ball flight and enhance the club's moment of inertia for remarkable forgiveness. Plus, the ultra-thin face design produces an extremely hot face and great feel.
Building on our experience from previous iron designs the XCG6 iron set is highly progressive. Each iron is engineered for its specific task including center of gravity location, offset (progressive), face thickness, and top line thickness for a perfect blend of distance and accuracy.
- Extreme heel and toe weighting places four tungsten weights lower in heel and toe for incredible forgiveness and stability
- Each iron is engineered with the ideal CG location, offset, face thickness and top line
- Ultra-thin face offers exceptional feel, control and distance
Hexahedron tungsten & toe sole weighting increases the effective hitting area and stabilize on off-center hits.
The ultra-thin face design creates maximum launch speed and distance.
Each iron is engineered for its specific task: center of gravity, progressive offset, face thickness and top line thickness all combine to optimize performance.

Two Timbers named to Team of the Week
August 19, 2008
PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Timbers forward Bryan Jordan and defender Scot Thompson were named to the USL First Division Team of the Week for Week 18, it was announced today by United Soccer Leagues. It is Jordan's third consecutive Team of the Week honor.
The pair aided in Portland's 2-1 victory over the Montreal Impact on Aug. 16 at PGE Park. Connecting for the go-ahead goal in the 50th minute, Jordan headed in a long pass from Thompson inside the near post from six yards out. It was Jordan's third goal in four games and Thompson matched a career-high with his second assist of the season.
Jordan, 22, is the second Portland player this season to be named to the Team of the Week three times; the other is defender Cameron Knowles. On loan from Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy, Jordan ranks among the Timbers scoring leaders with three goals and two assists.
Thompson's assist against Montreal moved him into a two-way tie with Jordan for the team lead in assists. A USL First Division All-League selection in 2007, Thompson, 27, has logged one goal and two assists in 22 matches with the Timbers in 2008. It is his second Team of the Week selection this season.
The Timbers visit Northwest rival the Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday at Swangard Stadium at 8 p.m. on Fox Soccer Channel. A live audio broadcast will be available online at www.portlandtimbers.com.

A day after exchanging gunfire with a Clermont police officer, a man has died.
Investigators are trying to find out what led to the shooting, which happened around noon in McKinley Park near Clermont Elementary.
The man, 21-year-old Joshua M. Waldron, was sitting on a bench smoking when Officer James Rooney approached him.
"The subject drew a weapon, fired at the officer. The officer returned fire," said Lt. Michael McMaster, a spokesman with the Clermont Police Department. "A foot pursuit ensued."
Investigators said Waldron ran three blocks before he was found on the ground, in a field and on his back with a gun beside. "He had what appeared to be a single gunshot wound."
Waldron was flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center suffering from a head wound. Officials said he died early Wednesday morning at approximately 2:17 a.m. It is unknown at this time if the Waldon's wound was self inflicted or caused by Officer Rooney, and it is still unclear what prompted Waldron to fire at the officer. Rooney was not injured in the shooting.
"I was actually kind of scared at first, because I was standing outside when I heard the first shot," said Angel Lopez, was holding his baby just a short distance away when it happened. "I ran right inside when it happened."
Lopez said he heard what sounded like fireworks. "One at first, and then I came inside, and then I didn't hear much, because I put the TV on."Lopez said he lived next door and was acquainted with the suspect. "Not the personality he's shown," Lopez said. "He's just a neighbor that lives next door. He's very friendly."
During the shooting, Clermont Elementary was put on lockdown to keep the children safe.The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting. Officer James Rooney is a 12-year veteran. He has been placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing. Investigators said Waldron has a criminal history dating back to 2003.

Powercolor HD 4870 PCS+: stability issues check
As we mentioned in HD 4870 review, Radeon HD 4870 have a very good graphic performance, but poor in temperature/cooling and power consumption. Powercolor HD4870 PCS+ is the first non-reference 4870, and all of us are looking forward of this product, expecting it have a way better cooling. So when we got the card we did not run normal performance testing but instead of temperature test. We hope after a month's preparation, AIB manufacturers introduce a product more better than reference HD 4870.
PowerColor HD 4870 PCS+ is based on reference 4870 PCB design, the major improvements including better voltage regulator module and cooling:
- VRM upgrade from 3 phase(reference 4870) to 4 phase; replaced reference cooler with ZEROtherm dual heatpipe cooler.
- Memory modules and VRM have their independent heat sink.
- Also Powercolor added a shiny metal strip to prevent PCB deformation.
What's more, HD 4870 PCS+ is factory overclocked to 800/950MHz (core/memory) (reference: 750 MHz/900MHz) . After all these changes, Powercolor keeps the price tag only ten dollar higher then reference version (newegg price). On behalf of one Powercolor rep, the card is more perfect than reference design.

Nice read. Good to see that someone takes a closer look at that card (as it is the first non-reference-card especially using 1024 MB RAM I guess there are some more as me waiting for it). Keep up the good work.
Qwerty Says:
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:37 pm
I thought it was clear what all the instabilities and card deaths had in common from the start… aftermarket cooling. While the core obviously gets nice hefty cooling, the VRM heatsinks are downgraded to small measly heatsinks (from that huge behemoth of a red plate) that just can't cope with the heat buildup (which now lingers inside the case also), not to mention the fact that some are no longer even blown properly on by the fan. Furmark goes bye-bye quickly at 126C (VRM). These aftermarket solutions are just poorly thought out and effortless. How long before someone figures it out (or gives a rats ass) and offers a proper large VRM heatsink?
dejanh Says:
August 24th, 2008 at 2:44 am
I do not get this either. I have already pointed out a billion times up to now that the 4870 has inadequate VRM cooling and every single 4870 card suffers from this issue, especially if the cards are overclocked. It's as though everyone is purposely oblivious of this issue ignoring it all the time, always. It all first came to light when the Diamond "Super RV770″ 4870 XOC BE was released and there are numerous threads on this all around, on XtremeSystems, NCIX forums, everywhere…
Here is one known solution to the problems but be very careful with it as it is possible to brick your card while doing this mod…
dejanh Says:
August 24th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I thought it was pretty clear why this is happening already…
I found it first when dealing with Diamond's 4870 XOC BE cards. It seems everyone is staying oblivious of the issue and I do not know why…
Anyways, here is one possible solution that is by no means easy to do http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/user-reviews/8855-thermalright-hr03-gt-ati-hd-4870-a.html

Can someone tell me how to mod the BIOS setting fan? By using RBE? PWM Ramp ON?
Karas Says:
August 24th, 2008 at 6:09 am
Use new ATT beta and set fan to 6, 7 or 38%. These are 3 speeds that I'm using. The last one just for testing because its too loud… but anyways I dont get crashes in furmark with this card as you do. I'm using XP 32bit, CATs 8.8 and I'm got this card yestarday. The only issue I've had is that initially after using the vga for 10min it heated up pretty quickly and the card itself started to fizzle!! After changing fan rpm it went away but still very strange…
dejanh Says:
August 24th, 2008 at 7:32 am
Cool the VRMs. Seriously. The cooling on it currently is not adequate. That's the source of the problems. I posted a link before that shows what's necessary to keep the VRMs cool, and it is a massive heatsink to use on a graphics card. In a hotter case you will need a fan too cooling the heatsink.

D.A.I. Says:
August 25th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I think VRM may not be totally obligate to the issue.
Since T-rad2 should cool the VRM better than a reference cooler
but it still fail to pass the test under reference clock.
Aramint Says:
August 25th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Hmmm, good point D.A.I., I missed that section. Maybe it is a defective card to begin with..?
Kazarang Says:
August 25th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
If you run furmark on catalyst 8.8, try rename executable of furmark to f.exe and run it. You see much more temp on VRM an core also VDDC up from 56 to 74 A. Fps rise in 2 time. VRM temp rise to 115 C or more.
kin Says:
August 25th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
O_o that's a shock news, let me test it now.
dejanh Says:
August 26th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Yeah, FurMark is nerfed in the 8.8 Catalyst driver on purpose. So beware. If you want to really push your card you either need an older Catalyst driver (e.g., 8.7) or maybe the renaming executable trick to be done. In terms of the T-Rad2 being enough, it is not. If you read carefully all the issues with VRM temps you will see the following pattern. Small/medium heatsink with or without fan == fail. You need a fat heatsink (a rally big one) or a medium-large heatsink with a fan. The HR-09S Type 2 is a massive heatsink, especially used on the VRMs. It works just fine and stops FurMark from crashing the card and for that matter VRMs going over about 80C vs. the standard 126C+.
Aramint Says:
August 26th, 2008 at 6:23 am
Hello dejanh, would you conclude to say that using the stock cooler be sufficient for the 4870 VRMs (besides HR-09S Type 2 of course)? I've seen the cooler photos online and the cooler itself looks robust, just that the blower type fan is something I would like to change.
dejanh Says:
August 26th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Yes, the stock cooler is sufficient for cooling the VRMs as long as the card does not have any volt mods and is not heavily overclocked. I do not recommend running FurMark though using the stock cooler either, at least not for a longer time.
Chris Says:
August 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
There's nothing wrong with the reference model fan. I run my card @ 780/1100 at a constant 40% fanspeed, idle 45C, load never over 75C. No problems at all and the slight hum from my computer doesn't bother me at all.
dejanh Says:
August 26th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Yup, indeed. The reference cooler almost fairs the best out of all solutions (short of that HR-09S Type 2 sink on VRMs). However, Chris, you are not talking about the same thing here. Many people do not understand that GPU temp and VRM temp are not one and the same. The temps for VRMs get very high when running FurMark, so high in fact that even on the stock cooler they start to burn off the contact foam on the cooler's backside. For general use though and relatively light overclocking with no volt mods the stock cooler is sufficient.

i have same card and i dont have that problems !
the only problem i had was with older bios the "zipzip" fan noise when idle ( fan speed 2%)
with new Bios no "zipzsip" noise anymore , and i dont have the crazy fan like yours !
my fan work like this
55º – 60º >>> Fan speed 32%
61º – 70º >> Fan speed 43%
71º >> Fan speed 74%
zillatech Says:
September 12th, 2008 at 6:44 am
mascaras, did your card come with a newer BIOS or did you have to download it? Also, how is the noise of the Fan? NewEgg just got the new 1GB model in and there is almost no reviews on the net for the PowerColor 4870 PCS+ yet.
asic Says:
September 25th, 2008 at 5:06 am
are you sure that this is an overheating issues?
i have reference PowerColor 4870 (small OC to 800/930) and noticed the following:
if I run renamed FurMark 640×480 0×00 AA, Catalyst 8.8, then the VRM _current_ rises up to 80A less then in 3 minutes, and then I got a crash. The temps at this time are 74/82/91 — absolutely within temp range. But, again 80A triggers over-current protection, hence a GPU reset.
if I run non-renamed FurMark, then VRM current never exceeds 57-59A, and temps are just several degrees lower.
My 4870 is cooled by Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 + 2x92mm fans (45cfm, 2.8mm h2o each). No other test can push temps further then 65/74/82.

I have Powercolor HD4870 PSC+ and I run Furmark stability test for 2 hours GPU temp was 72C . I have question, how many cards ( same model ) did you tested before you write this review ?
I agree with punk_ass this is damn BS
Michail Says:
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Just was unlucky enough to buy this "improved" card.
The root cause of the issue is VRM #3 overheating (with stock thermointerface it goes ~ as high as 200C). After cleaning radiatior, replacing thermointerface with a better one (instead of gum-like BS) temperature reduced by ~10-15C, I've added dedicated coolor, and temperature became ~130C under load, while rated max operational temperature is 125C. I am going to continue my investigation.
Right now my system can survive under 80A current(i.e. it is overheating, not overcurrent), but still I am going to improve max VRM temperature down to 100C at least.
Michail Says:
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:40 am
Note for FurMark tests: If you want to have maximal load, DO NOT USE MSAA in FurMark. It actually reduces power consumption. And ofcourse you should rename executable to anything else like Fu_rMark.exe
Ok guys, even with 3 extra coolers for VRMs (2 small coolers right on the radiator and 12cm cooling all the card) this nice card cannot survive more than 120 seconds of renamed FurMark (that is big improvement after like 2-3 seconds survival before active VRM cooling & thermointerface replace).
Looks like the only way to make it stable is to replace stock VRM radiator with a bigger one Cu or Ag based (I guess noone can find a heatpipe based cooled of that size). I bet it is impossible to cool them using Aluminum radiator of any size.
And it would require active cooling anway.
If we would ignore FurMark, with active VRM cooling my system can work stable at 850/1050 soft-voltmodded to 1.35v (under HL2, Stalker Clear Sky, AtiTool).

It was a tough loss for Manchester City in the 2011 Community Shield on Sunday. At least, that's according to most of the world. According to City's website, however, the 3-2 defeat against Manchester United was actually a magnificent triumph.

This is the Bluetooth device that projects a laser-generated keyboard onto any flat, opaque surface, providing an instant keyboard for any smartphone or tablet. The Class I laser device generates a 9 3/4"-wide x 4"-deep keyboard with 3/4" keys and recognizes keystrokes in three dimensions by an optical sensor that detects finger placement at different areas on the keyboard, distinguishing between a finger hovering above the space bar or a number key. An invisible infrared horizontal plane projected millimeters above the surface detects actual contact with "keys"—when the plane is interrupted by a finger, the projector assigns a keyboard character, passing it along to a paired device. Keeps pace with typing speeds up to 400 characters-per-minute. Its rechargeable battery provides up to 2 1/2 hours of operation from a 1 1/2-hour charge from AC using the included USB adapter (or three hours via direct connection to a computer). Works with iOS 4+, Android 4.0+, Blackberry 10, Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, and Mac OS X 10+. 3" H x 1 1/2" W x 1 1/4" D. (2 1/2 oz.)

Excellent Virtual Keyboard
By QE Jeremy
from Collierville, TN
Best Uses
This is a very good virtual keyboard. The projection is clear and types very accurately. Very pleased with my purchase. It was shipped loosely in the box - would have preferred it was packed a little snugger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
