A shield and structure for mounting the shield to a hand held grass trimmer is provided. The generally flat shield is perpendicularly mounted to a gear box extension which is carried coaxial with the drive shaft tube. Twisting and moment forces incurred by the shield when the trimmer is resting on the ground are reduced by mounting the shield to support the weight of the trimmer generally perpendicular to the length of the drive shaft tube. The mounting structure prevents sliding of the shield on the drive tube and provides multiple attaching members to prevent rotation of the shield on the drive tube.
1. A hand held trimmer having
a power source including a first trimmer support surface;
an elongated power shaft driven by the power source;
a gear box operatively coupled with the power shaft, the gear box including a casting fixed thereto and extending therefrom at an acute angle, the casting being generally cylindrical and extending from the power shaft;
a cutter head attached to the gear box, said cutter head including a cutting element driven by the gear box;
an elongated generally flat cutter element shield having one portion connected to the casting and a second portion having a second trimmer support surface;
and means for mounting the one portion of the shield generally perpendicular to the power shaft including first and second mating surfaces on the shield and the casting, respectively, for mounting the shield generally perpendicular to the power shaft, and means for detachably connecting the first and second surfaces together.
whereby the trimmer when resting on the ground is supported by the first and second trimmer support surfaces, the power shaft is generally parallel to the ground and the shield extends generally perpendicular between the power shaft and the ground.
2. The invention defined in claim 1 wherein the mating surface carried by the casting is oriented generally perpendicular to the power shaft and includes means for securing the shield's mating surface to at least two spaced locations on the mating surface of the casting.
The present invention relates to hand held trimmers used to cut grass, weeds and light brush and, more particularly, to the means for mounting a shield on a trimmer.
Hand held trimmers are utilized to cut grass, weeds and other vegetation where mowers and/or larger lawn and garden equipment cannot easily reach. These trimmers are particularly useful for cutting grass around walls, fences, buildings and similar structures adjacent yards. Trimmers typically include a power unit coupled with a drive shaft which extends through a tube to drive a gear box joined to a cutter head. The cutter head in turn carries a string cutter or blade cutting element. These units are easily carried by a single person and, being light and portable, convenient for trimming along walls, walks and other structures. To protect the operator from the cutting element as it is rotating and to also shield him against vegetation and/or other objects which may be flung outwardly from the cutting element, there is generally provided a shield adjacent the cutting head.
Many present trimmers attach the shield to the cutting head. Because the trimmers are designed to be carried by an individual while they are operating, the cutting head is connected to the drive shaft and tube at an angle to operate parallel to the ground. Shields which are connected to the cutting head are therefore often connected to the portion of the trimmer which extends at an angle to the drive shaft. Accordingly, the shield is positioned at an angle with respect to the drive shaft tube.
After use, an operator will generally load the trimmer into his vehicle for transport or lay it on the ground. Typically the trimmer will be supported parallel to its length, resting on the engine and trimmer shield. When the shield is attached at an angle with respect to the tube, the moment forces through the shield created by the weight of the trimmer tend to distort and/or break the shield where it is attached to the cutter head.
Some trimmer shields are connected to the drive shaft tube by an arrangement which positions them directly beneath the drive shaft and tube when the trimmer is laid down. Many of these trimmers, however, orient the trimmer shield at an angle with respect to the tube so that it shields the rotating cutter element. Accordingly, these shields encounter the same problem when the trimmer is laid down. Further, many of the attaching structures for these shields are clamp arrangements which allow the shield to rotate or slide along the shaft and move from the desired location with respect to the cutting element of the trimmer.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a mounting mechanism for securing the shield of a trimmer to the lower end of the trimmer whereby the operator is protected from the cutting element and debris thrown by the rotating cutting element.
It is further an object to provide a mounting mechanism which substantially reduces the movement and/or twisting forces encountered by the shield. The mechanism secures the shield to the trimmer so that when the trimmer is laid down for transport and supports the trimmer's weight and/or the weight of objects placed on top of it, the forces on the shield will be directed generally perpendicular through the shield and to the shaft.
It is further an object to provide a means for securing the shield to the trimmer which prevents the shield from sliding along the shaft tube of the trimmer or moving out of its desired position.
FIG. 1 is a partial side view of a trimmer with the new shield and its attaching structure, the trimmer being at rest as it would be during transport.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the shield and its mounting mechanism.
FIG. 3 is a enlarged view of the shield and its mounting mechanism taken along lines 3--3 of FIG. 2.
Looking now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a string trimmer or trimmer 10 lying on its side as it would be during transport. The trimmer 10 includes an engine 12, that engine 12 being gas powered in the preferred embodiment; however, an electric power source could be provided. The engine 12 drives a power shaft 14 which extends through the sleeve or tube designated 16. The tube 16 is clamped to a die-cast extension or casting 18 which is connected at an angle with the gear box or trimmer head 20. A clamp 22 secures the casting 18 to the tube 16, through use of bolts 24 and nuts 26. The gear box 20 carries a cutter head 28 wherein string 30 (nylon or other co-polymer) is mounted as the preferred cutting element. A knife or line limiter 32 is carried by a shield 34 which is mounted to the casting 18.
Looking now to FIG. 2, there is better illustrated the mounting structure for carrying the trimmer shield 34. The die-cast extension 18 carried on the gear box 20 includes a flat mounting surface 36 with a pair of openings for receiving bolts 38 that would project through compatibly sized and placed openings formed in the shield 34. The bolts 38 are secured with nuts 40, as best illustrated in FIG. 2.
The mounting surface 36 carried on the die-cast portion 18 of the gear box 20 and the mounting surface 42 carried on the shield are oriented perpendicular to the sleeve or tube 16, as best illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The shield 34, which is generally flat, is carried substantially perpendicular to the shaft 14 when mounted. Therefore, placement of the trimmer 10 on the ground or in a trunk or bed of a truck would result in the shield 34 being positioned as illustrated in FIG. 1 and the forces encountered by the shield 34 as it supports the weight of the trimmer head 20, tube 16, and engine 12 and any other objects placed upon the trimmer would be substantially perpendicular to the shield where it mounts to the tube 16. Accordingly, bending forces, which could serve to weaken and finally cause a fracture in the shield 34 are minimized.

A friend whose mother was dying shared with me perhaps the most poignant words I have ever heard. When asked if she would like fresh roses by the window of her hospital room, my friend's 90-year-old mother, animated from within as if someone had lit a candle in her heart, said, "No, dear, I have already been given enough roses."
First off, let's get something straight: I celebrate Hallowe'en, but not because I am "in league with the devil." Actually, those of us who believe in Christ are in the unique position to laugh at death, not to fear its symbols. For us, it has already been defeated.
I have a job answering phones at The Columbus/ Lowndes County Convention and Visitors Bureau. It's actually rather fun work, sometimes hectic, and often challenging. I make copious notes on events in the area and try to keep the details orderly and organized.
When ceramics instructor Al (Alisa) Holen, of Mississippi University for Women, set a goal of having 1,000 hand-crafted bowls made to sell at the Nov. 6 Empty Bowls fundraiser for hunger relief, she had confidence in the university and the community at large. And they came through.
No bones about it, for fun-minded cooks, Halloween is a great time to set the imagination free.

Eve Ventrue will be the cover artist for Witch Born. She did a fantastic job on Witch Song, and we have a great concept.
The first draft is completed. Right now, I'm adding all the notes I've jotted down while I drafted. Then I need to go through and clean it all up. I may or may not make one more pass through it.
Hopefully it will go out to my alpha readers (you guys ready???) in the next week or two, depending on how much time I can dedicate to writing--which is questionable as my husband will be gone on a business trip all next week--and how many things I have to fix.
Depending on how fast my alphas get through it and how many changes I need to make, I'll then have it ready to send to my betas.
And then we're on to copy edits.
I'm tired just thinking about it, but exhilarated too. There are just not enough hours in a day. Anyone wanna volunteer to babysit??? If you donate over 8 hours, your name goes in my acknowledgements . . . . ;)

70 Human Priest
They do way to much damage while stacking CDs and theres almost no way to stop it. BM shouldn't have Readiness. Back to back Rapid Fire with the 3200 power boost is retarded.
Well yeah, if you ignore all the hot fixes (some actual fixes, others burst nerfs) they applied before 5.1, you would think Blizz is just letting BM run rampant through BGs and Arena...
90 Orc Shaman
really blizz should find a way to make it impossibru to stack CDs but then you have to rebalance alot of other things...IE *insert expansion here* will fix it.
100 Tauren Paladin
So nerf one spec to make another more viable gotcha.
It is not the first time much like the increase on silence cd to encourage other tier talents.
CC the pet...
CCing either the hunter or the pet stops BM damage by a lot.
Please, I wish blizzard would make us less reliable on cooldowns, most of them aren't even fun cooldowns.
Hunters finally viable, NERF NOW!
It's not like Hunters haven't been asking for Readiness adjustments, which is the cause of the problem.
The problem isn't the cooldowns or BM's damage. The problem is that every spec is required to double up their offensive abilities with Readiness, which is inflating Beast damage and turning all 3 spec's PvE gameplay into buttonmashing cluster!@#$s, especially on the opener.
It just happens that Readiness works a bit too well with Beast as it can go burn mode twice in quick succession. I'd would very much love to see Readiness go back to Marks or only affect defensive utility (traps, T2 talents, Disengage, Deterrence, etc) and have the cooldown or durations on the abilities adjusted to compensate.
Rapid Fire could work for 20 seconds for example to simulate the double Rapids Hunters use on the opener in PvE, the T5 and 6 talents could do more damage or have lower cooldowns, etc. As it stands, we're balanced around Readiness doubling up our offensive tools when it's intended to be used to reset defensive tools for clutch situations and it's putting a block on what changes we could receive in PvP and is a large hindrance in the PvE Hunter gameplay.
Edited by Bullettime on 1/31/2013 3:46 PM PST
It's because Marks is a sustained damage spec more akin to a gatling gun and has to be more methodical. Meanwhile, Beast just sticks with Arms or Feral and facerolls their face on the keyboard to burst someone to death with their partner and Readiness to double up burst. Beast itself is easier to counter than Marks as well.
Making Readiness only reset defensive abilities (with tuning to the cooldowns to compensate,) would make Marks much more attractive as suddenly Beast can't burn-reset-burn to get wins.
Edited by Bullettime on 1/31/2013 5:45 PM PST
It doesn't need to be. They could make Readiness only affect defensive utilities and adjust the damage or cooldowns on the offensive skills to compensate. PvE Hunters would actually gain from this if they did the numbers right since it also stops the buttonmashing cluster!@#$ that is the opening 30 seconds for every Hunter spec.

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company™ – delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined – today announced that Jason Weathersby, Director of Evangelism and Community Development at Actuate, will present at the Eclipse Big Data Day event at the Googleplex on December 12, 2012. "Eclipse Day at the Googleplex" is a one-day event for developers to learn about different Eclipse projects and related technologies.
Mr. Weathersby has been a member of the extended BIRT development team at Actuate for more than 8 years, is a frequent technical speaker at international industry events and webinars, and has many years' experience in business intelligence tools, database technologies, data visualization and related technical consulting, training and publishing. He earned a B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at University of South Carolina, Columbia, and blogs at www.birtworld.blogspot.com and http://jasonweathersby.sys-con.com/latest/blogs.

BIRT – a set of developer tools co-developed and sponsored by Actuate as a top-level project within the Eclipse Foundation – can ease visualization of results in a user friendly way. BIRT provides native support to access Hadoop through Hive queries as well as connectors to other Big Data sources such as Cassandra and MongoDB.
Using BIRT, developers can display their internal or external clients' data in a stylized tabular or graphical nature, and customize it using the BIRT Designer environment. These reports can include dynamic drill through and interactivity, and can be exported to various formats including PDF, HTML, XLS, and ODT.
Mr. Weathersby's session will introduce developers to BIRT and will cover in detail how to retrieve and visualize data from Big Data sources such as Hive/Hadoop, Cassandra and Mongo DB.
Event Date: Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Conference Room: Buildings 1900 and 1950; Rooms Asilomar Conference Room (1900) & Bodega Bay (1950)
Time: 9:00am - 6:00pm

Roger Ebert, longtime film critic, dies at 70, Chicago Sun-Times reports

19-year-old treated, released after wreck near intersection of highways 101 and 112 west of Port Angeles
Port Angeles man sentenced to prison after collecting nearly $200,000 in dead grandmother's benefits
His death was reported by The Chicago Sun-Times.
Ebert's struggle with cancer, starting in 2002, gave him an altogether different public image — as someone who refused to surrender to illness.
Though he had operations for cancer of the thyroid, salivary glands and chin, lost his ability to eat, drink and speak (he was fed through a tube and a prosthesis partly obscured the loss of much of his chin) and became a gaunter version of his once-portly self, he continued to write reviews and commentary and published a cookbook he had started, on meals that could be made with a rice cooker.

Ruins of Empuries
... so needless to say, there was no sightseeing done on those days. So what does one do in such instances, well we read books, watched movies, ate pate and cheese and drank wine. Woke up today to a beautiful sunny windless day, aahhhh. We decided to take Fifi for a drive to the Ruins of Empuries. This place is truly unique. This city is over 2000 years old, hard to imagine!!! Firstly it was a Greek built city during ...
Nosotros en España!
... met a few locals tonight who will be at tomorrow's "fin de ano" (end of year) celebration and I think it will be fun!
Night night!
Here are a few pics from Spain!
12/31 update - Added a few more pictures from our walk on the beach today.
1/1 update - Corrected the town - a suburb of Barcelona. Feliz A�o Nuevo!
Last day here. We are going to the caves this morning and then having paella for lunch, so keen to finally have some traditional Spanish food. Last night dinner was quite good, we went to a restaurant and had muscles which were so yum! Also some fish soup which was strange but good. It's sunny here today and looks like a beautiful day. Let's see how the day pans out ...
... quite similar, lots of relaxing, exploring and eating of course! We had crepes both days. I honestly don't know how people aren't fat here, they eat SO much sugary food, and also a **** load of oil. I would say they go through 4 litres of oil in a couple of months. The scenery is beautiful, everyone is friendly and it just has a nice feel about it. There are beautiful houses everywhere, I suppose this motivates me to get an amazingly high paid job so I can travel a lot ...

So after two weeks in Pals we have now moved 20mins South to a Spanish Aire, full of Motorhomes from many different countries, probably over a 100.

Unlike the tall-tale, idyllic world of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is firmly grounded in early reality. From the abusive drunkard who serves as Huckleberry's father, to Huck's first tentative grappling with issues of personal liberty and the unknown, Huckleberry Finn endeavors to delve quite a bit deeper into the complexities-both joyful and tragic of life.
The adventures of a boy and a runaway slave as they travel down the Mississippi River on a raft.
You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,' but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied, one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly--Tom&rsquos Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas, is all told about in that book--which is mostly a true book; with some stretchers, as I said before.
Now the way that the book winds up, is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher, he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece, all the year round--more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags, and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer, he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.
The widow she cried over me, and called me a poor lost lamb, and she called me a lot of other names, too, but she never meant no harm by it. She put me in them new clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, andfeel all cramped up. Well, then, the old thing commenced again. The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn't really anything the matter with them. That is, nothing only everything was cooked by itself. In a barrel of odds and ends it is different; things get mixed up, and the juice kind of swaps around, and the things go better.
After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him; because I don't take no stock in dead people.
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. Here she was a bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff too; of course that was all right, because she done it herself.
Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now, with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn't stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, 'Don't put your feet up there, Huckleberry;' and 'don't scrunch up like that, Huckleberry--set up straight;' and pretty soon she would say, 'Don't gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry--why don't you try to behave?' Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad, then, but I didn't mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said she wouldn't say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place. Well, I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn't try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn't do no good.
Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place. She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever. So I didn't think much of it. But I never said so. I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and, she said, not by a considerable sight. I was glad about that, because I wanted him and me to be together.
Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome. By-and-by they fetched the niggers in and had prayers, and then everybody was off to bed. I went up to my room with a piece of candle and put it on the table. Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn't no use. I felt so lonesome I most wished I was dead. The stars was shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die; and the wind was trying to whisper something to me and I couldn't make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me. Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind and can't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave and has to go about that way every night grieving. I got so down-hearted and scared, I did wish I had some company. Pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before I could budge it was all shriveled up. I didn't need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me. I got up and turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breast every time; and then I tied up a little lock of my hair with a thread to keep witches away. But I hadn't no confidence. You do that when you've lost a horse-shoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep off bad luck when you'd killed a spider.
I set down again, a shaking all over, and got out my pipe for a smoke; for the house was all as still as death, now, and so the widow wouldn't know. Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom--boom--boom--twelve licks--and all still again--stiller than ever. Pretty soon I heard a twig snap, down in the dark amongst the trees--something was a stirring. I set still and listened. Directly I could just barely hear a 'me-yow! me-yow!' down there. That was good! Says I, 'me-yow! me-yow!' as soft as I could, and then I put out the light and scrambled out of the window onto the shed. Then I slipped down to the ground and crawled in amongst the trees, and sure enough there was Tom Sawyer waiting for me.

Brockman signs with French Pro A team Limoges
Brockman, who spent the last three seasons with Sacramento and Milwaukee of the NBA, announced the signing on his Twitter page: "Another journey begins. Next stop Paris, then on to Limoges."
Later, following an 11-hour flight to France, he tweeted: "Just arrived in Limoges, France. The only thing on my mind is sleep."
Brockman, a 2005 Snohomish graduate who played at Washington from 2005-06 to 2008-09, was traded from Milwaukee to Houston in the recent NBA offseason, but failed to make the Rockets' opening day roster after suffering a severe eye injury in a Sept. 10 workout in Houston.
Brockman had not been cleared to resume basketball when the Rockets opened their training camp or even when the team was starting its preseason schedule. He was waived on Oct. 29, two days before Houston's regular-season opener.
Limoges is a city of around 140,000 people in central France. It is one of 16 teams in the Pro A, the top pro league in France, and includes four other Americans on its roster — Ty Walker (Wake Forest), Brandon Costner (North Carolina State), Brad Wanamaker (Pittsburgh) and Kyle McAlarney (Notre Dame).
Brockman is joining the team seven games into its 30-game regular-season schedule, which began in early October and continues to late April.

I planted black hills evergreens 3 years ago and have had no trouble with browning until this year. One tree is completely brown except for the bottom 2 branches that are very green. What could be the problem. I have already fed with granules this spring.
I think our extremely mild January is responsible for a lot of the odd winter kill we are seeing in some of the woody plants. They started to switch into growth mode when it was so warm, but it turned cold again in February...freeze/thaw like that can be disasterous for plants.
Unfortunately, it sounds like your tree is a goner. Unless you see new growth on the brown branches, it will never recover. Conifers can not regrow from a brown, dead branch.
A single (or few) brown branches are not life threatening to a good sized tree. I would wait a few more weeks to see if the branch puts out any new growth on the tips. If it does, leave it. If the branch is dead, you can remove it. In time, the bare hole should fill in with surrounding branches.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Press reported that VIA Rail Canada may consider asking its riders to show identification as it reviews ways to enhance security. The move comes on the heels of an alleged terrorist plot to derail one of its trains. VIA Rail does not typically check IDs. Marc Beaulieu, VIA's GM, eastern Canada, told the House of Commons public safety committee that the agency had responded to at least eight to 10 security- or safety-related incidents this year. For the full story, click here.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

Robert Quinn
Chris Long
Michael Brockers
Kendall Langford
Aaron Donald
William Hayes
Eugene Sims
Alex Carrington
Ethan Westbrooks
The strength of the Rams defense got even stronger since last season with the additions of first-round pick Donald, free agent signee Carrington and undrafted rookie Westbrooks. … Quinn established himself as a legitimate defensive player of year candidate in 2013 when he racked up 19 sacks and seven forced fumbles. … Long has been a steady performer over the years with at least 8.5 sacks in each of the past four seasons, including a career-high 13 in 2011. … Brockers is just 23 years old and entering his third NFL season as a starter. He had 5.5 sacks a year ago and feels better this season after dropping some weight. … Langford has started 32 games the past two seasons and had five sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2013. … Donald, the No. 13 overall pick in the 2014 draft, earned about every award possible for a defensive player during his senior season at Pittsburgh. Now he's expected to join a disruptive defensive line rotation in St. Louis. … Hayes has 12 sacks and 21 tackles for loss over the past two seasons as a reserve defensive end. He and Sims are strong backups for Quinn and Long. … Carrington is a former third-round pick who signed with the Rams this offseason after four years in Buffalo. … Westbrooks, an undrafted rookie, was the biggest surprise of the preseason for the Rams, emerging as a disruptive force as a defensive end or defensive tackle and forcing his way onto the 53-man roster.
James Laurinaitis
Alec Ogletree
Jo-Lonn Dunbar
Ray Ray Armstrong
Daren Bates
The Rams only kept five linebackers on their 53-man roster but it's possible they could add a sixth for special teams purposes if they find somebody they like. … Laurinaitis has been the rock in the middle of the Rams defense for the past five seasons, playing 16 games every season and leading the team in tackles every year except 2013. … Ogletree should have gotten defensive rookie of the year consideration a year ago after the first-round pick from Georgia led St. Louis in tackles and added six forced fumbles and a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown. He should be even better this fall if he gets a chance to rush the quarterback more frequently in Gregg Williams' aggressive scheme. … Which Dunbar will we see in 2014? In 2012, his first year with the Rams, he was an impact outside 'backer who had 4.5 sacks and 16 TFLs. But in 2013 he missed four games with a suspension and wasn't much of a factor. Being reunited with Williams, his defensive coordinator in New Orleans, should help. … Armstrong and Bates both made an impact as undrafted rookies playing special teams a year ago and the Rams will need them to excel in those roles again. Defensive backs (10)
Janoris Jenkins
Trumaine Johnson
T.J. McDonald
Rodney McLeod
Lamarcus Joyner
E.J. Gaines
Brandon McGee
Maurice Alexander
Cody Davis
Marcus Roberson
The biggest question for the Rams defense in 2014 will be whether the secondary can take the next step and be more consistent than they've been in recent seasons. It's still a young group but Jenkins, Johnson and McLeod are all entering their third seasons. … Jenkins had four interceptions and three touchdowns as a rookie in 2012 but had only one interception last season. … Johnson had three interceptions a year ago when he started 12 of 16 games, but he will miss the first few weeks this year after suffering a knee injury in the preseason. … McDonald only played in 10 games as a rookie because of an injury but showed promise as a safety. He'll be expected to make a bigger impact in his second season and the Rams need him to. … McLeod is an undersized safety who has worked his way from undrafted rookie free agent to 16-game starter. … The Rams traded up to select the diminutive Joyner in the second round of the draft. His skill set fits what St. Louis is looking for in a nickel cornerback and his feisty attitude is a welcomed addition to the D. … Gaines slipped until the sixth round of the draft despite a strong resume while at Missouri. Now, after a strong preseason, he could end up starting the season opener with Johnson out. … Rams coach Jeff Fisher praised McGee during OTAs as a player who was stepping up going into his second season. McGee has shown glimpses of that this preseason but has also struggled with injuries. … Alexander, a fourth-round pick, is a feel-good story as a local kid who used to clean the Dome after games, but he'll need to show he can make the transition from Utah State to the NFL and emerge as a special teams contributor and backup safety. … That's what Davis did in 2013 when he played in 12 games as a rookie after the Rams signed him as an undrafted free agent. … Roberson joins Westbrooks as the only undrafted free agent rookie defensive players to make the Rams' initial 53-man roster. He was a solid player at Florida when healthy and gives St. Louis another bigger option at cornerback besides Johnson.

2831 Tasting Notes
My initial thought when opening this package (first one I'm reviewing from the grab bag sale), was that it seems to have the same sort of spicing as Strawberry Pie honeybush! That's exciting, since I quite like that one. It keeps that same sort of cinnamony smells throughout the infusion too, which made me quite happy although slightly worried that it was going to taste like Strawberry Pie minus the strawberry. Luckily, I am wrong.
The flavour of this one is absolutely delicious, and rather unexpected! Yes, there's the same cinnamon of SP, but I definitely tasted some delicious cream cheese icing on top of a warm doughy cinnamon bun. Divine. And the best part? I'm not having to imagine a single one of these flavours. This literally tastes like a liquified cinnamon bun. How on earth did the bun flavour get in here?!
Anyways, wow. Incredibly high marks for this one! I don't think I've ever tasted a blend quite so amazingly true to its name! The only problem I'm having is that instead of satisfying a craving, this has created a massive one. All I want to do is eat a giant warm cinnamon bun right now. I may in fact look up recipes tomorrow because of it.
ETA: Second infusion mostly just tastes of cinnamon, not really at all like cinnamon bun. That's ok, though, I need more teas that only last through one infusion! :D
Arrived home today to 3 boxes of tea. With more stuff on the way. Oy vey. I suppose I could have mentioned earlier that I am (sadly) back at home now. :(
Anyways, one such box was from 52teas, because I splurged and went for the grab bag sale, and picked up some additional SBT tea bags so I could try almost all of the flavours (the rest were purchased a while back and are en route from Amanda! And I say almost all, because I have zero interest in RadioactiviTEA :P)
Figured I'd give this one a shot tonight, seeing as it's the only one I bought two of, based on the rave reviews.
Brewed one giant teabag up in 2 cups of water in a pyrex measuring cup at approx. boiling for 3 minutes. So my "concentrate" needs to be diluted 1 part tea:3 parts water. I tried a bit tonight (probably the wrong proportion), and I must say that I'm definitely getting more cotton candy flavour (even lukewarm) than I got with the actual tea. It smells like spun sugar. It tastes like spun sugar. Delicious strawberry spun sugar. With a nice black tea background that's neither bitter nor astringent. Nor too strong. This is truly a treat. I can see myself drinking through this rather quickly. I think the cup I made for myself might have been about a 1:3 mix, so I might stick with that instead of 1:4.
I stuck the teabag in the fridge so I can give it a second round tomorrow, because 2 bags is probably not enough to have purchased…
ETA: Had some more today and inexplicably didn't like it as much. Must be a mood/tastebud thing. How annoying.
This initially smelled a bit play-doughy to me, like some other not-great teas have smelled in the past. My cooled cup from last night tastes much the same, blech. The re-steep is moderately better, but still not very tasty to me. I wonder if it's an age thing?
Anyways, I'll try this again sometime and see if it improves. Perhaps I just don't like dates in tea?? At least the rooibos isn't particularly medicinal…
The smell of this one initially reminded me of 52teas' Strawberry Pancake; mostly sweet strawberry flavouring coming out, with perhaps a green tea undertone.
The flavour is initially a bit tart-sweet, and the aftertaste is definitely of strawberries. Fake ones, perhaps, but I'm ok with that. The aftertaste is actually also reminiscent of the strawberry flavour from Butiki's Strawberry Oolong, which is quite distinct from the 52teas flavour. Interesting. There's also a light berryish flavour that I'm picking up, which fits in nicely. I'm actually rather enjoying this tea, honestly. It's a touch too light for me, but I followed the instructions and used 1 tsp instead of the usual 1.5 that I would use, so I'll change that next time. I am also getting some green tea flavour, both during the sip and as an aftertaste. Yum :) I don't think I'd buy some for myself, but it was worth the taste!
Just noticed that I'm getting a bit of throat scratchiness here, not sure if it's random and unrelated, or a flavouring thing. Not worrisome enough to make a fuss about though.
Brewed a bit of this up to try, and although there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a pretty bland green tea. A bit nutty-ish, which is nice, but it mostly screams generic green tea to me, so not something I'd pick out for myself. It's not particularly vegetal, nor seaweedy, and there's almost a hint of astringency in the aftertaste, which is actually more pleasant than a problem. It actually reminds me a touch of a genmaicha.
I won't be re-steeping this one; I'm drowning in tea as is, so I really don't need to drag this one out.
Finally hit a tea I don't feel like I've tasted before. The aroma is kind of peachy, and it carries into the flavour, which unfortunately is then marred by hibiscus. That said, the hibiscus isn't overwhelming, so it's ok, but peach and that sort of tartness don't really go together in my mind. This tastes more or less like 'Thank You Berry Much' plus some peach flavour thrown in.
This tastes disturbingly like DavidsTea's Bear Trap. Very similar. Tart from the hibiscus (but bearable in spite of a long infusion), and kind of like tart berries.
In other news, I'm feeling really down right now because I feel like I've made a bunch of social/relationship mis-steps lately, and am really worried that I've ruined things. :( Blah.
So, Amanda, if you happen to be reading this… I almost have a suspicion that this tea and Mahamosa's Cherry Kiwi Coconut Fruit are the same tea. I guess I'll be able to find out shortly. I'm definitely getting similar flavours here, and there are huge pieces of tasty cherry, and the ingredients seem to be the same… Again though, like with Roasted Almond, this wouldn't be a bad thing, since I'm such a fan! And it's nice to find alternate suppliers. I just would almost prefer to be trying something new and different instead of something I've had before.
The aroma is fruity and cherry-like, although definitely not cough syrup; it's a real cherry sort of aroma (and flavour) here. Same with the flavour. Light cherry, general fruitiness, a bit of creaminess perhaps from the coconut. Can't really taste the kiwi, but it could be doing something in there. I'd like this to be stronger though; already used 2 heaping tsp for a maybe 10 oz. mug, so will have to try more next time.
Yep… like someone else (Azzrian?) said, this one is pretty much the same as DavidsTea's Forever Nuts, and a few other offerings from other companies. Less sweet than DT's version, but tastily cinnamony, nutty, and good. So, a bit sad that it's nothing special, but I'm not upset that it's at least something tasty!
Er, I think this is what I shared with my mom tonight. Being away from my tea collection, it's hard to remember which packet I actually grabbed. Anyhow, it was delicious and vegetal as always. Mom thought it was a bit on the grassy side (so it will be accompanying me home); aunt couldn't taste anything at all, because of her messed up sense of smell that ruins greens for her (but at least it didn't taste awful??)
I have no idea why I haven't rated this one yet; I guess I'll take care of that when I drink it again later, because I didn't even get to re-use the leaves, since I'm chowing through a bunch of tea before essentially napping for a couple hours and catching the plane back "home". :( So I need my infusers (all but the one I'm leaving behind for my mom) to be clean and ready to travel.
