Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
The Gophers just released their first depth chart and injury report. No big surprises here on the two-deep. Chris Hawthorne has been listed as the starting kicker. All four punters are listed as possible starters. Here's the link.
Heading into Thursday's opener against UNLV, It's hard for me to know how good this Gophers team is. I'm struck by how confident the players and coaches are in the direction they're heading, but I realize that's a common theme for any team in August.
One thing I'll say is this team should be a compelling team to follow. The individual stories continue to surprise me. If there's a general theme, it seems to be a group of underdogs who've worked tirelessly – on and off the field -- to get to this point, overcoming whatever obstacles stood in their way. Here's a sampling:
The head coach, Jerry Kill, has overcome cancer and epilepsy, winning 136 games in 19 seasons.
The offensive coordinator, Matt Limegrover, had gastric bypass surgery in May 2012 and has dropped from 403 pounds to about 235, while completely changing the way he eats.
The team's top NFL prospect, Ra'Shede Hageman, went through 12 foster homes before being adopted by a Minneapolis couple, who helped mold him into the man he is today, as Amelia Rayno explains here.
One starting safety, Cedric Thompson, grew up in Compton and escaped the gang violence by moving to a surreal place on the Salton Sea called Bombay Beach, where he used to wake up each morning for a two-hour bus ride to school.
The other starting safety, Brock Vereen, has a brother in the NFL. Growing up, their parents had a rule that they couldn't play football until they were finished with their homework.
One of their tight ends, Maxx Williams, is the son of two former Gophers athletes, which only begins to explain his athletic bloodlines.
The starting center, Jon Christenson, is a former walk-on who plans to become a doctor someday, which would just add him to the long list of doctors in his family. He's also the grandson of a best-selling author.
Starting defensive tackle, Cameron Botticelli, is a former walk-on who plans to pursue a law degree.
Another former walk-on, linebacker Aaron Hill, has emerged as one of the team's defensive leaders.
One starting defensive end, Theiren Cockran, was the third most decorated member of his high school defensive line.
The starting middle linebacker, Damien Wilson, came to the Gophers from Jones County (Miss.) Community College, where he played for former NFL head coach Ray Perkins.
The top returning rusher, Donnell Kirkwood, is the son of a welder who built sleds out of steel pipe for the whole Delray Beach, Fla., neighborhood, helping those kids improve their speed.
Their two starting cornerbacks, Derrick Wells and Eric Murray, were both listed as two-star recruits coming out of high school, which still leaves Gophers coaches shaking their heads.
One of their top receivers, Derrick Engel, transferred to Minnesota from Winona State, and another, Isaac Fruechte, transferred from Rochester Community and Technical College.
They all have interesting backgrounds, so it'll be fun to see how well they come together as a team.
Gophers freshman running back Berkley Edwards suffered a high ankle sprain Wednesday and had a walking boot on his right foot Thursday. His status for next Thursday's season opener against UNLV is uncertain.
"He's fine," Coach Jerry Kill said. "He didn't break a leg or anything like that. He got bent up. They won't know really until things settle down, if he'll be ready to go or not be ready to go. But fortunately it's not a broken leg or anything of that nature."
Another concern for the Gophers is cornerback Derrick Wells. He jammed a shoulder early in camp and still has bruising in the joint. He was in an orange non-participation jersey Thursday and is questionable for the UNLV game.
Wide receiver Derrick Engel has been in a green, no-contact jersey as he recovers from a groin injury. Kill sounded confident that Engel would be ready to go full speed on Saturday. Freshman wide receiver Drew Wolitarsky has returned from his hamstring injury.
Opening Night is one week from tomorrow. Here are some quick notes from Wednesday's practice:
* WR Derrick Engel (groin injury) hasn't been cleared for contact, but he went through some individual drills today.
* WR Drew Wolitarsky (hamstring injury) has been back at practice the past two days, but the freshman has some catching up to do.
* Asked if the game plan changes with Andre McDonald out (violation of team rules), offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said, "Not really because, to be honest with you, Andre had a lot of work that he needed to do to really be a force for us. He would have had that opportunity, had he been able to stick around. But you know, we're really starting to get comfortable with five or six [receivers], and I think those guys are feeling good.
"Other than maybe getting nicked up a little bit here or there in practice, I think we're going to be healthy and we're going to have a pretty good group."
* CB Marcus Jones, who has fully recovered from a second ACL surgery in his knee, will be one of the players returning kicks and/or punts this year.
"You always go back to trust factor, and Marcus has [returned kicks] in a game," Coach Jerry Kill said. "So I can tell you he will be a part of the mix. He's has experience and you can't replace experience."
* Limegrover on reserve quarterback Chris Streveler: "It's like that light bulb's come on, kind of like what happened with [Philip Nelson] about Week 3 of fall camp [last year]. [Streveler] went through the spring, had his ups and downs. Early part of camp, wasn't really feeling comfortable and all of a sudden, the light bulb went on. We're pretty excited and pretty encouraged about Chris, especially the last four or five days."
Gophers coach Kill confirmed after Tuesday's practice that Philip Nelson would be the starting quarterback for the Aug. 29 opener against UNLV – not that there was any doubt.
Mitch Leidner will be the primary backup, with Chris Steveler the No. 3 option and Donovahn Jones shifted to wide receiver.
"A kid I feel really good about right now is Chris Streveler," Kill said. "[In scrimmages], he just plays, and the chains move and good things happen."
* Defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys is preparing in case UNLV comes out running a no-huddle offense under first-year offensive coordinator Timm Rosenbach. With all the focus on who will start at middle linebacker – Damien Wilson or Jack Lynn – Claeys intends to play two units of linebackers a lot.
"We're not going to know [the best starters to use] until after the first game," Claeys said. "A lot of kids can practice, and all of a sudden, they get in the game, and they don't play very well. So we'll have two groups ready to go."
* Freshman linebacker De'Niro Laster returned from his knee injury Tuesday, ahead of schedule. He'll get several reps late in camp, with the coaches strongly considering playing him this year, at least on special teams.

Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans
Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans
Published: Wednesday, December 01, 2004
Program Summary
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans supports 30 individuals a year for up to 2 years of graduate study in any subject anywhere in the U.S. The fellowships are for leaders who can give evidence of creativity, accomplishment, and commitment to the U.S. Constitution. The recipients are chosen on a national competitive basis.
Criteria for Selection: Candidates must demonstrate the relevance of graduate education to their long-term career goals and potential in enhancing their contributions to society. Fellowships are not solely awarded on the basis of academic record.
A successful candidate will give evidence of at least two of the following three attributes or criteria for selection: (1) creativity, originality, and initiative, demonstrated in any are of her/his life; (2) a commitment to and capacity for accomplishment, demonstrated through activity that has required drive and sustained effort; and (3) a commitment to the values expressed in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
A New American is an individual who (1) is a resident alien; i.e., holds a Green Card or, (2) has been naturalized as a U.S. citizen or (3) is the child of two parents who are both naturalized citizens.
The Program is open to individuals who retain loyalty and a sense of commitment to their country of origin as well as to the United States, but is intended to support individuals who will continue to regard the United States as their principal residence and focus of national identity.
The applicant must either have a bachelor's degree or be in her/his final year of undergraduate study. Those who have a bachelor's degree may already be pursuing graduate study and may receive Fellowship support to continue that study. Individuals who are in the third, or subsequent, year of study in the same graduate program are not, however, eligible for this competition. Students who have received a master's degree in a program and are continuing for a doctoral degree in the same program are considered to have been in the same program from the time they began their work on their master's degree.
To be eligible you must not be older than thirty years of age as of NOVEMBER 1, 2004.
Each year the Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 (paid in three installments) and a tuition grant of one-half the tuition cost of the U.S. graduate program attended by the Fellow. Fees are not included in calculating tuition. A Fellow may not work during the period of the Fellowship without the permission of the Director.
Application Procedures
Applicants are required: (1) To complete an application form; (2) to submit two essays on specified topics; (3) to submit a form endorsing their application from a college president, dean or department chairperson, if they are applying to begin graduate study, or from their graduate program or department director, if they are applying to continue graduate study; (4) to assure the submission of two reference letters; (5) to assure the submission of a transcript from the applicant's undergraduate institution, and if her/his graduate training is already in progress, from the graduate institution as well; (6) to submit documentary evidence that the applicant meets, as of November 30, 1999, the definition of New American; and (7) to have taken and submitted to the Fellowship Program by December 7, 2000, scores from any graduate aptitude test required by programs to which the applicant has applied.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department on Tuesday introduced two Bombardier CL-415 firefighting aircraft, also known as "Super Scoopers," which have been leased from the Canadian province of Quebec in preparation for the current fire season.
The "Super Scoopers," which the county fire department will utilize for the next four months, arrived at Van Nuys Airport on Aug. 30. At a press conference Tuesday, county Board of Supervisors Chairman Zev Yaroslavsky spoke of the effectiveness of the "Super Scooper" aircraft, which have been leased the past 19 years by Los Angeles County.
"No metropolitan fire department in the world has the firefighting aircraft capability that Los Angeles County does," Yaroslavsky said. "We invest in the safety of our citizens and the protection of their property, and it's proven to be very effective and cost-effective over the years.
"These are the highest risk fire months for our region," Yaroslavsky added. "We have Santa Ana winds and hot dry conditions that lead to major brush fires."
The county of Los Angeles also has been leasing two Erickson Sky-Crane aircraft for each fire season for the past seven years.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Daryl Osby and his staff gave a demonstration of the "Super Scooper" aircraft, which can hold 1,600 gallons of water.
The largest of the current firefighting aircraft can hold 1,000 gallons of water. Some helicopters can hold only 360 gallons of water.
"You see the significant difference in the capacity of water they can pick up," Osby said of the "Super Scoopers."
In addition to being able to carry more water, both the "Super Scoopers" and the Sky-Cranes have the ability to find and collect water from unmanned water sources, such as lakes and the ocean.
Many of the firefighting aircraft require the assistance of firefighters at fire engines and hydrants, Osby said.
"We're in the critical stages of the fire season," Osby said. "At the end of September, we start the Santa Ana wind season. Between September and the end of December, we average about 8 to 12 wind events. And the wind is a critical factor in terms of controlling wildfires."
As for the Sky-Crane aircraft, which was not on hand Tuesday, 1,800 gallons of water is its maximum, more than quadruple the amount that a normal firefighting helicopter can hold.
However, despite the massive artillery that the county fire department shells out each year—at a cost of more than $5 million—Yaroslavsky and Osby stressed that residents must do their part to prevent wildfires.
"Whenever there's a brush fire or a wildfire, the homes that tend to be saved are the ones that have cleared flammable material from around their structures as the law requires," Yaroslavsky said.
Yaroslavsky called the $5 million tab "money well spent," and pointed towards weather conditions during 2012 as reason to expect that this fire season could be a brutal one.
"We are cruising for a bruising," Yaroslavsky said. "We're likely to have multiple brush fires in our county this year. We hope for the best but we are prepared for the worst."

At first I was considering on not buying this product as the flavours didn't sound all that. However I decided to try "velvet vanilla" flavour and couldn't be happier with the taste! Body improvement wise I have found this seems to give me a little more tone to my body. And since using it my muscles seem to regain their strength a lot sooner than they did with other product! Will be buying again!

I've been using Hurricane Evo for nearly 2 years. Before that I'd tried many all in one proteins from different brands. This has truly provided equally the best result and one of the best tastes without being obscenely priced! The taste is relatively good and it mixes well without needing a blender. Hugely reduced muscle soreness post training and I feel like I have the energy to train well day after day. Highly recommend this product.
Awful tasting
- (17 / Jul / 2013)
As I could only stomach this product for a week due to the awful taste (Mint Choc Chip) I can't really say whether or not I felt the full effectiveness. The shake did mix well and I do intend on trying this product again, but I will be choosing my flavour more wisely from this day forth. Goes Well With:Milk, water
Hurricane Evo

As a protein product, Hurricane Evo really is a good product. However, I've found that the only way to drink this is when you mix it with milk. Mixing the powder with water makes the shake taste horrible. I've also been having problems with the mix-ability of this shake, with little balls of powder still in the mixture. I would recommend the mint chocolate one, it's probably the best tasting out of the range.Goes Well With:Milk.

Hurricane Evo is great, it gives you a great boost in energy to help you sail through your workout. The chocolate mint flavour is really nice, it doesn't taste like that much of a protein shake, it tastes more like an actual shake. If you use the Myprotein shaker bottle, it mixes perfectly with no lumps and makes it nice to drink. I will happily purchase this again as you can really feel the difference over just protein shakes.Goes Well With:My protein shaker bottle both go well to make a nice smooth shake.
Won't be buying again

Bought the velvet vanilla first and thought the taste was pretty bad, managed to chug it down enough but wanted this type of product so went for the choc mint instead hoping it would be better...it wasn't.
Worst tasting product I have ever had, I'm not throwing it away at this price so ending up having 2 scoops of it once a day until it's gone.
The protein part of it mixes well, but always end up with lumps of whatever the white ingredient is that don't seem to mix at all.
Not sure of the effectiveness as I can't stomach having the full serving of the product each day.
Sorry myprotein but I will not be buying this stuff again.Goes Well With:Anything that will take away the rank taste and horrible aftertaste.

Hurricane Evo is a very good product, tastes very good, mixes well and gets the right results. I feel this is one of the best protein/creatine formulas on the market. Would definitely recommend.
- (17 / Jun / 2013)
I have to say that Hurricane Evo is the most disgusting shake I have ever tried (Vanilla). It is absolutely vile. I struggle to drink it and it gives me a stomach ache.

I've been using Hurricane Evo for a couple of weeks.
I went for choc/mint which I'm not too keen on. I find the mint element quite strong.
I also think the recommended daily usage is wrong. I think 3 times a day is more like what's required.
So far, I've had no gains but that's mainly because of my usage. I'm upping it from tomorrow so hopefully it will improve. All-in-all, I find it well priced and it mixes fine (no lumps).Goes Well With:I personally feel this product has everything within and no need to mix
- (28 / May / 2013)
Expensive and taste gets boring. Only good ice coldGoes Well With:ice!
great product
- (27 / May / 2013)
I've been adding this Hurricane Evo as the main protein element in my own blend shakes for the past 5 weeks. I think the chocolate mint tastes absolutely gorgeous, mixes perfectly with a standard shake (no blending or anything really needed). The product is a mix with some things in it but mainly the protein has been helping me hit my macros. I've seen some great gains on this supplement and would recommend it.Goes Well With:Dextrose or Flax seed and peanut butter (doesn't taste as good in the second one)
- (27 / May / 2013)
Hurricane Evo is good, I mix it with weight gain and then with water. It tastes good enough for me. I can notice the difference in strength when I do take it constantly so it's obviously doing its job. I can't see much notice in size but it's early days. I would recommend it anyway.

Hurricane Evo is amazing. It comes with the necessary ingredients to help with recovery, but also to build muscle and strength. If you're an athlete like myself who plays rugby and does track and field, this product is great to give you balance and all the necessary nutrition to enhance your performance.Goes Well With:creatine, very good with milk for taste! Wouldn't put water with the vanilla flavour though!
Hurricane's out
- (13 / May / 2013)
Hurricane Evo is a great all-in-one product that's perfect for a months load-based training cycle, working well as a split intake of 30g in the morning and 30g pre-training supplement. Taken with a Mars bar 30 minutes before training seems to give a boost in the gym. It also has boosted performance on the squash court too!Goes Well With:Mars bar!
- (07 / May / 2013)
Ive been training for years and Hurricane Evo is by far the best all round protein supplement for muscle and size than any other brand I've tried. It's higher in protein and lower in fat and carbs than its equivalent counter parts. I train 4-5 times a week and use it straight after a weight training workout and have noticed the difference in muscle size and definition. It's easily mixed in water and both flavours are great. I'll use a straight protein powder after a normal cardio session and Recovery Evo after a hard cardio session for all the protein and carbs I need. This combo has really worked for me. I can't speak highly enough of this product, go buy some!
- (07 / May / 2013)
Hurricane Evo has really helped boost my muscle recovery during intensive training weeks, and as it has amino acids and creatine included. It's a great time saver and saves multiple shakes.Goes Well With:Using with MyProtein CLA and Thermopure

Im new to Hurricane Evo so can't compare it with other products, but for a first time Im very pleased with all aspects.
great stuff
- (22 / Apr / 2013)
The price, effect and mixability of Hurricane Evo are all fair, but the taste is pretty awful! I mix it with other things i.e. honey/milk/berries and that seems to help. It's a great product overall, and I'm considering buying in bulk after my initial purchase.
- (20 / Apr / 2013)
I recently received a bag of this Hurricane Evo in the mint chocolate flavour as part of a bundle, the taste and mixability are spot on but the creatine level is a little low for it to be a true all in one in my opinion, saying that I would probably purchase it again as it's an easy option for lazy people like me who can't be bothered to blend their own shakes. Goes Well With:Creapure
So far so good
- (19 / Apr / 2013)
The taste of Hurricane Evo is good and it mixes well. It is always hard to measure the benefits as how would you know how you would have been if you did not take the supplements. That said, I do feel like I have more energy and less muscle fatigue. So I will keep on using it.
Goes Well With:Iced water
Great and noticable
- (18 / Apr / 2013)
The two times I have bought EVO have been the months I have noticed the most difference in performance and appearance. Great taste and easy to mix.
Tastes Great!
- (13 / Apr / 2013)
It's too early too comment on results of this Hurricane Evo, but first impressions are good - it tastes great and mixes well!
Great stuff
- (19 / Mar / 2013)
I'm finding the Hurricane Evo to be very effective in all ways. It has a great taste, mixes well and gives me what I need.
Not for me
- (18 / Mar / 2013)
This product tastes OK however it is not good when trying to mix it. The power sticks to the end of the container and I always get lumps in it. I have even tried to whisk it. Taste wise it is OK. Will not be buying this again.
- (12 / Mar / 2013)
mixes well in shaker but even better with a blender, full of everything you could need ie protien weight gainer and added supliments all in one!! perfect after a workout to help
boost your body back up and prepaire it for next days
training , vanilla flavour is probs best choc second Goes Well With:creatine tablets and taurine

I have just come to the end of using my first pouch of Evo. My muscles already feel much fuller and my recovery time has been shortened noticeably since I have started using this Evo. This means I am able to work much harder in the gym without the worry that I wont be able to function the next day. It is extremely important for me, being a rugby player I know I can give 100% in my weight sessions without it having a negative impact on my game a couple of days after. I am very happy with this product having only used a normal protein previously such as Reflex whey, which is around the same price (and although it lasts longer) has not given me the results I have seen whilst using Evo.
For those it matters to I enjoy the taste of the velvet vanilla, whilst on a first try it may seem a bit chalky I gave the bag a good shake and now it tastes great. I am just about to open my second pouch of Chocolate Mint flavour. I will comment on this when I have had a chance to try it.
Goes Well With: Instant Oats, Oats and Eggs to make protein pancakes.

Great product. I do love this. Got it when the stacks were half price. I'd have this one all the time but the price means it's a no go. Choc mint is better than any milkshake i've had.. tastes amazing. But then again I do love the taste of supplements.
Darren Taylor

"Good product. Does what it says on the tin. Notable results after a couple of months. My only complaint is, it lasts about 3 weeks. Either supply smaller pouches or increase the amount of product which I would be happy to pay that little extra for. Please consider this!!"

"After using various other products over the years, they were effective but in comparison to Hurricane Evo they are just incomparable. The gains that i have made using the product are amazing it really helps me recover for my next work out and after using this would not like to use anything else ."
- (09 / Jul / 2012)
"Have been using this for the last few years, having tried various other brands this comes top. It tastes nice (choc mint) and has a good consistency. I recently tried Hurricane extreme hoping it would be a step up but it wasn't; this is much better! Have experienced results gradually whilst using this product. Only criticism is that there should be more flavours and the option to buy bigger bags!"
John Donnelly
- (13 / Jun / 2012)
"Heard some bad reviews about the Choc Mint flavour, have to say I enjoyed it, yeah its sweet but a lot better than some flavours out there. Noticeable difference in muscle performance and size during it use, a really good product for those not wishing to buy sole protein blend and amino acids etc separately. Good quality mix. "
Chris Branch
- (12 / May / 2012)
I've been using Hurricane Evo for a week now and am very impressed. I've got the chocolate mint flavour and it tastes fine - it's much more drinkable in two doses as previous reviewers have said (one and a half scoops with 300ml water done twice) but if i don't have time i just hold my breath and it's not a problem! The thing i've found most impressive is that it doesn't sit heavy on the stomach after downing it. Some protein shakes make me really tired and bloated - this is almost refreshing. I have also noticed an instant difference in recovery time. I train with Crossfit and feel completely fresh for the next WOD. Hopefully gains will follow....
Anthony Donovan
- (08 / May / 2012)
"Although I never regard flavour as important Evo vanilla in milk is one of THE best tasting shakes around. An absolute pleasure and something I would look forward to having, greatly helps me get through a workout simply through wanting the shake. Now effectiveness is a little different as I can't regard this as a proper all-in-one as for me there is nowhere near enough carbs, creatine and L-Glut. I need to add extra simple carbs such as Dextrose or Maltodextrin to achieve good results. Evo is however still good value but would need additions to become a true all-in-one."
Dan Colgan
- (01 / May / 2012)
It is great; If like me you are reaching a point in your dieting and training where you want to get a bit shredded now but dont have time to mix your own quantities of carb and protein this has to be the best mix ive found out of any pre mixed product. It is a bit grainy when mixed but still the taste is good. The content is great and it does its job very well. Only criticism is it would be better if the 1.8kg pounch was a 3.6kg tub as if you take it like recomended you will get through it very very quickly. Hope this helps anyone who cant decide what to buy.

"Just tried the MInt Choc First time using a All in one, tasted great, a bit grainy, which takes a bit of getting used to but overall was nice, ( i did use milk though). With regards to effects i cant honestly say at the moment as only just started taking it, but i have noticed i dont feel as sore as i was the week before, and recovery as improved.. "

"Well. I've been using Hurricane XS for a bit and have to say that compared to this, XS is rubbish. Just got the vanilla and it tastes lovely. Nice milkshaky taste and no chemical aftertaste at all. mixes very well in the ball mixer. As is usual with the Hurricane range it really helps in the gym. Expensive but worth every penny. "

"I was looking for an alternative to a competitors product and found that this product was highly recommended on Mens health. Actually bought it from Argos as didn't want to wait for delivery but cost £34.99, so about the same after you pay for delivery. Taste is good but even better if you add a tablespoon of hot chocolate drinking powder. I have the chocolate mint flavour but would prefer just chocolate. First workout after taking the product twice a day and last night and really smashed it but arms not that sore today, but previously before having Evo I was sore for a couple of days. Will be buying again once I've finished this first lot."

In the mid '60's, I was very active at the BSU at Mississippi State. Each fall we would throw a big "welcome" party for new and returning students. We always had "entertainment" in the form of music and skits performed by ourselves. One time, I dressed as a "hillbilly" and performed this monologue word for word (accent came naturally!). I had a ball, and will always remember that. Wish I had a permanent recording to keep (of Andy, not myself.) There'll never be another one like him.
"The Andy Griffith Show" is as Southern as football, auto racing, moonshine, feuding and grits. It's as much about a feel and a way of life as it is about laughs. Sure, its timeless humor — the show still runs in syndication to this day all across the country — has been embraced by all of America, but down South, "The Andy Griffith Show" captures a better time and a better place, if only in our minds. Even for those of us too young to remember the time and place the show actually portrays.
So we'll break from sports for just a second to remember one of the greats of the early media age — Andy Griffith. The North Carolina grad passed away at 86 this morning according to his alma mater's president, Bill Friday.
America — and especially the South — has lost a true giant today. And for those who've never heard his brilliant hillbilly-goes-to-a-football-game 1953 comedy monologue, take five minutes and enjoy this:
Think of the millions of smiles Griffith put on millions of different faces over the back half of the 20th century. Could there be a better legacy than that?
For that reason, how 'bout one more non-sports-related snippet you might not have heard:
Andy Griffith will be missed. But "The Andy Griffith Show" will live on and on and on. Especially for those of us born and raised in the South.

Play On Theatre is looking for a new home, because they can no longer afford the rent in the Ix Building.
Earlier this week, the theater started a campaign to raise at least $20,000.
The Executive Director, Alex Citron, says it is really a theatre "for the community, by the community."
Frank Ix Properties says they fully support the theatre and have helped them out for months, but want to find a tenant who can pay the full market price.
Play On has so far raised $3,000.

The truth is, it's embarrassing, really, to come while strapped on and fucking. The amount I have to let go and risk is sometimes too much for my heart to open up. It isn't fair to say that she doesn't have to do the same amount of risk and letting go when I throw her down onto the bed, shove my hand between her legs, push my fingers inside until she's screaming and thrashing under my forearm holding her down.

New Rockford Faces Shortage of Child Care FacilitiesThe town of New Rockford, North Dakota is facing a severe shortage of child care, with many parents unable to find care for their kids.
By: Adam Ladwig, WDAZ
The town of New Rockford, North Dakota is facing a severe shortage of child care, with many parents unable to find care for their kids.
The owner of the only group child care facility in New Rockford says potential parents in town are putting off having children because they know how hard it will be to find child care.
Nathan Presnell, owner of "Just Four Kidz", says he's had to turn away 15 parents in the last three weeks looking for child care. Three different child care facilities have closed in the last six months in New Rockford.
Presnell says more young couples are moving to New Rockford, which is bring more kids into the community. The New Rockford Area Betterment Corporation is reaching out to the community to help address the program. The group is encouraging people to seek out training to open in-home day cares in town.
Parents in New Rockford have started sharing coveted day care spots, with children alternating which days they can go to day care. A bill that recently passed the state house would increase the maximum number of children a day care can have from 18 to 30.

Students at the Central Library, ca 1914
Calgary Public Library, Our Story in Pictures, CPL 103-15-01
I was as happy as a pig eating rhubarb on Saturday — I was at a genealogy conference given by the Alberta Family Histories Society featuring the Canadian genealogy guru, Dave Obee. Dave is the author of a large number of reference works relating to Canadian genealogical records, including Destination Canada, and Counting Canada, as well as a bunch of great guides to things like directories, voters' lists, and citizenship indexes. In addition he is the proprietor of the best (in my opinion) website for Canadian genealogy research, CanGenealogy. Dave is also a library supporter, and has written the history of library service in British Columbia, The Library Book. In his other life, he is also a working journalist so his insights into the study of people (which, really, genealogy is at its heart) are particularly valuable.
So, the most important thing I learned from my day-long participation in this genealogy conference is not about a particular kind of record or a really snazzy website to check. No, the most important lesson that I took away from Dave's lectures, was that we have a duty to our ancestors to tell their stories. We have to look beyond the census and vital statistics and research the time and the place of our people who went before. For this we use the secondary sources such as local histories, general histories, ephemera, maps and any other number of cool, non-traditional sources (like those found in our Local History Collection). I was delighted to hear this affirmation of my own belief from someone whose work I admire. I, too, believe genealogy is not just the process of collecting names and dates. The true value of genealogy lies in the history of the people and the building of their story.
This is the approach we have been taking with the Lest We Forget project. The students we visit take documents, facts, and statistics and turn them into a life story. Perhaps they may even be interested in looking beyond their soldier, to the families left behind. This is certainly a more challenging assignment, but it is one that has immeasurable value in the understanding and the remembrance of those who went before.
So, this is the most important thing I learned from Dave Obee, but it wasn't the only thing so in my next posting, I will mention some of the other great tips I gleaned from my day with the expert.
St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Calgary, dated 1909
Postcards from the Past, PC 652
When we think of Canada's French Canadian population we rarely think of our city. Did you know that it was a French speaking person who welcomed the North West Mounted Police when they arrived at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers in 1875? Father Doucet, an Oblate, in the area to minister to the First Nations tribes who called this area home, had already established a mission at the site. The Mounties thought the area would be ideal for their fort and so asked the missionaries to move further up the Elbow. The area where they finally established their mission, Notre Dame de la Paix, eventually became Rouleaville, Calgary's first French community.
The presence of the mission attracted other Catholic development including a hospital, cathedral, convent and schools. St. Mary's school, started in a log cabin in 1885, is still in operation, albeit in a newer building. The settlement attracted other Francophones including Metis who were employed as the 19th century equivalent of truck drivers, moving freight in and out of Fort Benton. Father Lacombe, the visionary behind this community, sought official status for the area of land the Oblate fathers were occupying and was ceded the rights to two quarter sections. This furthered the development of the area and soon French speaking businessmen and professionals were building their mansions in the area. The earliest of these were the Rouleau brothers, Charles and Edward. (aj 1142) Charles' lovely mansion is gone, demolished in 1939 to make way for the Athlone Apartments, but Edward's house was moved to a spot behind the old St. Mary's Parish Hall (now Alberta Ballet) and still stands.

The existence of a French community in Calgary is unknown to many of us. La Bureau de Visibilite de Calgary and La Societe Franco-Canadienne de Calgary sponsor Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie throughout the month of March. On the 22nd of the month, these organizations along with the Cliff Bungalow-Mission Community Association and the Calgary Public Library are presenting, in English, "Rouleauville – Calgary's French Connection" at the John Dutton Theatre of the Central Library at 2:00. Admission is free. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about an important part of Calgary's early history. See you there.

Dave Obee is coming to town! The Alberta Family Histories Society is bringing Dave Obee to Calgary for a day-long event covering many aspects of Canadian genealogical research. He will be talking about using the internet for research, finding information on our immigrant ancestors, how to squeeze the last drop of information from the census and Canadians in World War I. Dave Obee is a very big name in Canadian genealogy circles and has written a number of books that I use nearly every day. This is going to be a great seminar and it is dirt cheap - $35 if you register before March 1, $45 if you register after. Check out information on the Alberta Family Histories Society website. I am so looking forward to this – I hope to see you there.
Closer to home, we will be offering our Genealogy for Beginners program at the Fish Creek Library on February 22 at 7 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to find out how to start that family history project. For more information and to register click here.
Also remember our Family History Coaching sessions on the last Saturday of the month from 10 to noon until June 28. We meet on the 4th floor of the Central Library and we can help you one-on-one with your genealogical research. This is a drop in program, so no registration is required.
In the genealogy vein, but not exactly a genealogy program, is the lecture series being put on at the Military Museums to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. A series of lectures will be run over the next three months including Dr. John Ferris, talking about the outbreak of World War I, Rob Alexander sharing his grandfather's account of the Dieppe Raid and the invasion of Italy from his diaries, and Lindsey Sharman introducing Forging a Nation: Canada Goes to War, the newest exhibit in the Founder's Gallery at the Museum. For more information visit their website.

If you are a teacher looking for an interesting way to engage your high-school students in the life of a World War I soldier, contact me about presenting our Lest We Forget program. We bring the service records of local soldiers and each student can use these documents to create a story or a tribute to the soldier. This has been a very successful program, leading students to a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of war in the lives of our ancestors. If you're interested, contact me.
Tonight is the Heritage Trades Roundtable at Rideau Park School. We will be listening to presentations about Beautiful Brick. For more information and to register visit their site.
If you have an upcoming genealogy event you would like us to mention, please feel free to post a comment below.
Parkdale house, developed by Alfred McKay and built with Crandell Pressed Brick
Century Homes Photographs, CH 2012-008
The second Heritage Trades Round Table is set to go on January 28. This one is particularly apropos given the decision recently taken by the CBE to demolish the lovely old Elbow Park School, as it is on the subject of beautiful brick.
Calgary has long been known as the "Sandstone City" due to the number of nearby sandstone quarries. Many people are unaware, however, that we had a good number of brickworks in the vicinity as well. The area around Cochrane had the silty hard clay that was great for making bricks and much of the production of the three brickyards operating there in the early 20th century was shipped to Calgary. Calgary had its own brickyards as well; the earliest of these being Peel's brickyard which opened in 1886 in the area of what is now Roxboro. "Gravity" Watson's yard was established in 1893 near the Edworthy Ranch in the Shaganappi area. This became known as Brickburn. The company was later sold to Edward Crandell, whose beautiful brick home still stands in Patterson Heights and is perhaps better known as the house where Stu Hart lived and trained his wrestlers.
Another entrepreneur who got into the brick business and whose imposing home still stands was William Nimmons. He started a small brickyard on the site of his quarry in the Bankview area. The quarry at Glenbow also had brickworks on the site. There were also small brickworks, run by home builders who provided bricks for their own construction. William Kempling was one such. His operation was located between Centre St. and 4 St. E.
If you are a brick aficionado and would like to learn more about the history of brick production and construction in Calgary, you need to come to the next Heritage Roundtable. You will meet some of the people who make the preservation and maintenance of the buildings and features we love possible. The evening will include:
•Historic brick production & industry in Alberta — Malcolm Sissons, president, I-XL Industries Ltd., a 4th generation family business founded in 1912 as the Redcliff Pressed Brick Co.
•Current brick masonry trade, traditional methods — Neil Puype, principal of a heritage building consulting company and 5th generation brick and stone mason
•Early brickyards & building with brick in Calgary — Marilyn Williams, Heritage Roundtables steering committee
This is going to be great, talking 'bout brick in the Sandstone City, so join us. The event takes place Rideau Park School gymnasium, 829 Rideau Road SW and starts at 7:00 pm (doors will open at 6:30 pm). It is open to the public and free of charge. To register, click here.

Elbow Park School is in the news again. The CBE is meeting to discuss what will be done with the school – should it be torn down and replaced or restored? Schools often present challenges for the people who want to save old buildings. They are large and occupy vast tracts of land, often in very desirable neighbourhoods. The people who hold Elbow Park's fate in their hands are facing a real dilemma. Yes, a new school would have all the bells and whistles, enough plug ins for all the electronics (I work in an older building myself and understand this challenge especially), a better gym, and all the amenities that new buildings offer, but they will also lose a character building, in a sense they will lose the history of their school. The neighbourhood, which is one of the oldest in the city, will lose more of its defining characteristics, the characteristics that make it such a wonderful place to live.
So what, you might say. This is a pointless discussion. An old building is an old building and the best way to deal with it is to replace it. That it is flood damaged is the perfect opportunity to look to the future and build something "better." This is at the heart of much of what we do in the heritage community. What is the value of an old building? Is there more than monetary value to consider when we decide their fate? Is newer necessarily better?
There are lots of arguments to support both points of view. Reusing old buildings adds character to cities – remember when Mordecai Richler famously stated that Calgary would be a helluva city once it was uncrated? We've come a long way from there. We value our heritage and realize that preserving our old buildings gives a sense of the history to a city, something that we lose every time we knock one of them down. Old school buildings are especially important in the history of place. "Schools were once thought of as important civic landmarks built to last a century. They represented community investments that inspired civic pride and participation in public life," said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. There is an excellent study on the fate of historic neighbourhood schools by the Trust called "Why Johnny Can't Walk to School: Historic Neighborhood Schools in the Age of Sprawl."
There is also the practical value of restoration. It is a far greener option than dumping demolition rubble into a landfill. Restoration allows for the removal of any nasty stuff like asbestos and allows for a general buff-up. If Jane Jacobs is correct that new ideas require old buildings, sending our kids to school in a historic building could open the way for who knows what kind of engagement. If you don't want your kids to go to school in an old building, then perhaps we should reconsider the value of Ivy League schools, or Oxford or Cambridge. Part of what makes the experience there so valuable is the history behind them, represented, not in the least, by their wonderful historic buildings.
I hope we get to keep that beautiful school. It would be a shame to lose another one.

There is nothing like a blizzard to get me started thinking about Christmas shopping. In particular, how much I don't want to be out shopping in weather like this. So, with that in mind I thought I would pull together a little list of books and some other suggestions for gifts for the history lover in our lives.
This was a really good publishing year for local history. Many of our favourite historians released books that would be great presents not just for local history buffs, but for family or friends who don't know our city, but should.
Here's my list, in no particular order:
Development Derailed: Calgary and the CPR, 1962-1964by Max Foran. In June of 1962, the Canadian Pacific Railway announced a proposal to redevelop part of its reserved land in the heart of downtown Calgary. In an effort to bolster its waning revenues and to redefine its urban presence, the CPR proposed a multimillion dollar development project that included retail, office, and convention facilities, along with a major transportation centre.
The Flood of 2013: A Summer of Angry Rivers in Southern Alberta by the Calgary Herald; foreword by Mayor Naheed Nenshi. The Flood of 2013 chronicles an unforgettable summer of angry rivers, unprecedented flooding and undeniable human spirit. This gift is a "double give" as a portion of proceeds from the sale will go to the Calgary Foundation's Flood Rebuilding fund.
Calgary LRT Walks: South Stations and Northwest Stations by David Peyto (available from Peyto Lake Books. One of the best ways to learn more about Calgary, to appreciate and enjoy the city, is on foot. Calgary LRT Walks describes many walks from LRT stations and include information on routes, buses, bathrooms and eateries.
River throws a tantrum by Rona Altrows; illustrated by Sarah-Joy Geddes is about one boy's perception of the flood and evacuation. It was published by Pages Bookstore and read at one of their story times by Mayor Nenshi.
Concrete Centenarian: The Life and Death of Calgary's Canadian Government Elevator by Scott Jolliffe looks at the history and demolition of the old Government elevator in Ogden. It is richly illustrated with the author's photographs. Concrete Centenarian is available at many of the bookstores mentioned below. It is also available directly from the Calgary Heritage Authority for $30. For the CHA, email email@example.com
Marion Nicoll: Silence and Alchemy by Ann Davis, Elizabeth Herbert, Jennifer Salahub. Marion Nicoll is a widely acknowledged founder of Alberta art and certainly one of a dedicated few that brought abstraction into practice in the province. Her life and career is a story of determination, of dedication to her vision regardless of professional or personal challenges. She was the first female instructor hired by the school that is now ACAD.
Unbuilt Calgary: A History of the City That Might Have Been by Stephanie White. There have always been great plans afoot for Calgary. Stephanie White looks at some of the plans and what they would have meant for the city.
Wild Horses, Wild Wolves: Legends at risk at the foot of the Canadian Rockies by Maureen Enns. Ghost River Wilderness Area, located along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta, is one of only three provincially designated wilderness areas in the province. It is in this beautiful, threatened and geographically remote area that Maureen Enns, a well-known artist, author, educator and conservationist, has come to discover an incredible world inhabited by wild horses, one of the region's most elusive and iconic creatures.
Any one of these titles would make a great gift. Many of these books can be purchased at Chapters/Indigo but also check our local booksellers such as the Glenbow Museum Shop, Pages on Kensington, Shelf Life Books and Owl's Nest.
Do you have a suggestion for a great local history book to give as a present? Please put your title in the comments and we'll add it to our list.
'Building Curiosity'
The Calgary Education Centre
by James McMenamin
The preservation of our built heritage involves many people and many partnerships. We are very lucky, here at the Calgary Public Library, to have many good friends and partners in our work to collect and make available material that furthers the cause of heritage preservation in the city.
One of our partners to this end is the Calgary Heritage Authority. We are proud to join with them in launching a new collection of photographs intended to create a visual record of the buildings and landscapes included in the City of Calgary's Inventory of Evaluated Historic Sites.
Eamon's Camp by James McMenamin
City of Calgary Heritage Inventory Collection, ECP JM 018
These photographs are an important part of the historic resource documentation process. They will be readily available to all interested researchers and will give them access to detailed building information that might otherwise be lost, particularly if the building has been demolished. The initial collection is by photographers James McMenamin and Michael Knudsen. It offers a detailed look at three important buildings in Calgary's history: The Harvey Block, The Barron Building and Eamon's Bungalow Camp.
Harvey Block by Michael Knudsen
City of Calgary Heritage Inventory Collection
James McMenamin is also exhibiting at the Kasian Gallery at the University of Calgary. The exhibition 'Building Curiousity' is a visual record of a very unique space, the brutalist Calgary Education Centre. It includes interior and exterior views and the ideas generated by MoDA Architecture, Nyhoff Architecture and SPECTACLE for the reuse of the building. The research work of Lindsay Horan, Leanne Junnila and Phil Wilson will also be displayed.
'Building Curiosity' also features photographs of other spaces that were ripe for reinvigoration. A public reception will be held on Friday November 22 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at the Kasian Gallery, which is located in the Faculty of Environmental Design, room 2145 of the Professional Faculties Building on the University of Calgary campus.

Part of our Heritage Weekend this year is a program for young people at the Nose Hill Library on Sunday October 27 from 12 to 3 p.m. We have folks coming in from Heritage Park, Fort Calgary, Military Museums, Archaeological Society of Alberta Calgary Centre, the 78th Fraser Highlanders, Lougheed House, the Aerospace Museum, and the History Wrangler. There will be lots of stuff to see and do and it's a great way to get our young people enthused about our history.
Getting young people interested in history can be somewhat challenging, although I find when we do school tours there are always a few students who think that a one hundred year old business directory is "sick" (for us oldsters, that means really cool) or who think the old maps are "killer" (also means good). I even had one young man tell his friend that, no, history wasn't boring, it was "awesome"!
So, in many cases the interest is there, but sometimes isn't tapped until they can get their hands on a buffalo skull, or an artifact from a museum, or until they hear the stories of the everyday people who made this province. That is what we are going to do at the Family Heritage Fair. So if you have a budding historian in your life or even if you'd just like to take the kids to see what's neat at the library, pop in on Sunday and have a blast with the past.

Our annual Heritage Weekend kicks off on Friday October 25 at 5:30 p.m. with Heritage Matters: Calgary's Commercial Heritage. Author and photographer Steve Speer will present images from his book Building on the Bow: Landmarks in Calgary Commercial Real Estate. The images in the book are the culmination of a year's work documenting Calgary's changing architectural landscape. With Calgary being a city that grows in fits and starts, many old buildings are changed or lost and many new buildings rise. Sometimes it happens so fast, we don't even notice. Building on the Bow provides an important record of the city's commercial properties both old and new. I'm going to be there with bells on.

The very next day, we have another program lined up that promises to be just as entertaining: an examination of Calgary's Sports Heritage with Honoured Members from the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. This is an aspect of life in Calgary that we haven't covered before and I am really looking forward to hearing this presentation. We have always been a sporting community; the Mounties played polo nearly as soon as they got here and, with our balmy Chinook winters, we even had baseball games played in January (with commentators noting that the balmy breeze kept the spectators from getting too hot!) There is a long heritage of sporting excellence in Calgary and we will be celebrating it at 11 a.m. on Saturday October 26.
Find out more about the programs by following this link. You can register for the Heritage Week programs in person, online or by telephone at 403-260-2620. It runs from Friday October 25 to Sunday October 27. This is our big heritage blow-out so we have packed the weekend with great presentations and events for the whole family. Come on down and have a blast with the past.

Postcards from the Past, PC 1122
In my last blog post I wrote about the Bay Building in downtown Calgary. It is an iconic building and its importance to the life of the city cannot be overstated. But what I found out while I was researching it was that it played many roles in the lives of Calgarians beyond just that of a place to buy stuff. One of the most interesting uses I read about was the RCAF No. 4 Training Command post on the top floor. The command centre for the west of Canada from Vancouver to Regina, 300 people staffed this post. They stayed there until the No. 4 Command was merged with the No. 2 Command and the staff and equipment were shipped to Winnipeg late in 1944.
The first manned flight Calgarians actually saw was a hot-air balloon stunt at the Calgary Agricultural and Industrial Fair in 1906. 'Professor' Williams (apparently all hot-air balloonists called themselves professor) parachuted from a trapeze hanging from his hot-air balloon and landed in the Elbow River. This stunt did not seem to make much of an impression on the jaded citizens of Calgary. While I can give details of the winners and their prizes from every variety of livestock, and the winners of all the horse races, there is only passing mention of the balloonist. Maybe the Morning Albertan journalist was right, that "a Calgary crowd is a quiet crowd…[that] takes its pleasure without boisterousness" (until someone blocks their view of the finish line).
A dirigible was the highlight of the 1908 Exhibition, making flights around the grounds twice a day. It's first flight was a bit of a disappointment as the pilot, Jack Dallas, couldn't yet maneuver the ship in high winds and it was off course for most of its maiden voyage. It calmed down later in the week, but eventually a windstorm caused the dirigible to hit a mooring tower and burst into flames. Hydrogen does that.
Planes were often part of the grandstand show at the Calgary Exhibitions. Howard Le Van, a very young pilot, flew his plane (another Strobel machine) at the Exhibition until it crashed into a fence when it caught a strut in a gopher hole. Been there!
Katherine Stinson, one of the first female pilots, made several visits to the Calgary Exhibition, performing stunts and even making western Canada's first airmail flight, taking off from a flat spot near Stanley Jones School in Renfrew to take mail to Edmonton. This area would become Calgary's first municipal airport, and would have the first illuminated runway in the country. The hangar built by Rutledge Air Services, still stands and currently houses the Boys and Girls Club.
Calgarians continued to be fascinated with flight. The flat lands surrounding the city were perfect for pilots to launch their homemade planes. And they did so with a passion. The papers are filled with accounts of flight attempts. Some were successful, such as an attempt by two teenaged boys, Earle Young and Alf Lauder, to build a glider powered by a motorcycle engine which eventually got off the ground with the help of a tow from Dad's Buick.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to aviation history in Calgary. To find out more you can join us at our annual Heritage Weekend to take in the new documentary Wings of Change presented by Doug Wilson. This excellent documentary celebrates history of aviation in Calgary from the first flights at the beginning of the 20th century to the newest developments at YYC. This will take place, as I mentioned, during our Heritage Weekend on October 25 to 27. The film will be screened on October 25 at noon in the John Dutton Theatre at the Central Library. You can register online, in person, or by telephone (403-260-2620). Check out the other Heritage Weekend programs while you're at it. We've got some great stuff.

Live Oak >Bars & Clubs > Hooligan's Bar & Grill
13920 N I-35, Live Oak, TX | Directions 7823329.555866 -98.346456
Neighborhoods: Judson
Hooligan's – We were there last night for the first time, it's big and not too crowded, and they have a bunch of nice TV screens (a few huge projector ones) and the sound was good so it's a good place to watch football. Our waiter was very attentive and nice. They do let you smoke there so if you don't like smoke you may not like t as much. But we had a good time.
Reviews? – Guess some of us can't understand the reviews cause we never work there but I know that most of us that go there love the place. One of the few places this size, lots to do, and prices are average. We've had a few parties there and can say that Mike, who is part of the wait staff I believe or asst mgr is awesome. He's always taken care of us and we usually party with san antonio's rock band AUDIOMOUTH. Those guys know how to put on a show and we all get together with them every month at Hooligans for someone's party. Not all bands there are great but if you see AUDIOMOUTH on the calendar, make it a point to come out.
The food is not bad and the chips/queso are great for the price. Good to have a bar with food and great music. Ya'll just keep making it better and keep the good bands like AM there more often.
Dangerous to civilized humans. – Finally walked out on Hooligans. I can't believe I put up with their abuse for so long. When all of Hooligan's employees have left maybe N. will finally realize that Jake is distroying the business.
Now that I'm out, I can finally warn everyone about this horrible establishment.
Reasons Jake should be fired:
1) He is only civil to his asskissers or dick suckers.
2) He puts well Vodka into pricier vodka bottles.
3) He costs the bar hundreds by drinking a half bottle (or more) of Jagar daily.
4) On multiple occasions he has proven his total lack of people skills by diving away customers and employees.
5) He has shown shoking lack of judgement by fking multiple employees including T.F., someone well known for her STDs.
6) If your not on his asskissers list he will nit-pick your faults while turning a blind eye to major problems (like all the jagar being gone, or why hooligans customers and regulars are leaving).
7) He lies. He will say things like, " I've told you such and such before," when actually he never did.
8) He changes set bar rules without telling anyone and gets irritated that you dont follow the mysterious rules (Like when he made up the rule that tall glasses are actually pints)
9) He speaks to his employees/ coworkers in a way that is total opposite of professional. The minutes before for I finally walked out I was told that I was "retarded" I was told to "shut up and get on the poker side of the bar."
If you agree that this kind of behavior is unacceptable for a buisness then please, don't support Hooligans
This is only the begining of the things wrong with this place. Don't go here for the sake of your health.
Hooligan's – Drinks are watered down especially for the price and it took forever to get a drink at the bar or otherwise. As far as waitresses go, we tried to order and she didn't come back for over 30 minutes. I've been there 3 times and never had a good experience.
Service – The service at this establishment is horrible. When it first opened it was good but the past few times I have gone it's been horrible. The waitresses are over at a table talking to people for ten fifteen minutes while your waiting for your drinks and food. Sometimes there is one bartender in the evening for atleast thirty people to make drinks for and will leave the bar for long periods of time. Horrible service and I will not go back to this location again.
My Favorite Bar – Is the service always flawless? No. I've had problems with service before but whenever I talk to a manager about it they are always very apologetic and eager to right the situation. I'll give it to you, some of the servers are pretty dumb and arrogant, but those don't seem to last too long. The place is like a really big neighborhood bar with good drink specials and really, really good bacon cheeseburgers. Most of the time, I always see people I know and the music is almost always really good. The majority of the staff is great, they always make me feel welcome. They show all the UFC and boxing fighs and they have really good bands on the weekend. I definitely give the place two thumbs up. To sum it up, do you get great service everywhere you go? Is the food always great? Are the drinks always to your liking? No... However Hooligans does a fantastic job and I would always choose to stop in there rather than anywhere else in san antonio.
Do we live on the same planet – I have to say after reading the reviews of this place they must have been written by the owners as promotional BS. The wait staff is slow and arrogant. I witnessed my chicken wings sit at the kitchen window for 14 min. I sat at the bar and did everything short of jumping on top of it to get a drink order from the incompetant horseplaying bar boys that were more worried about snapping each other with bar towels than serving the patraints. The saving grace is live music and a great layout , ohhhh! the potential management should be ashamed. It also makes me wonder why we put up with below average service in general, and then tip these losers upward 50 to 100% for warm beer or watered down cocktails. Are we so starved for so called fun and attention. Apparently so.
Freakin' Rocks!! – This bar is great. The just fixed up there patio in the back and its really nice. The staff rocks and there always hot. Friday happy hour is always busy and the music is always rockin.
Editorial Review – Sports bar serves barbecue chicken, enchiladas, burgers, nachos and wings; includes billiard tables, dart boards and live bands.
Great place nice environment – Well in San Antonio if you want to be away from dirty crowd and into some smart people and enjoy good food and drink, this is the place to be. I go to relax there and I will tell you waitresses and bar tenders listen to you and if you just tell them something they pay attention and make it right. When we both go, we find a family type environment and when I am alone, I am amongst good nice and caring friends, go find out for yourself, stop over after movie, that is how I went there first time.

text: The electrical lines touching the copper piping is NOT really an issue since there is nothing to abrade the wires and cause them to energize the copper. As for actually "bonding" the copper, we cannot tell you if it is not already bonded, but an electrican can test for continuity between the electrical ground and the copper piping. In many cases, the water piping IS the source of grounding in the electrical system, and if that is the case in your house, then there must be a connection between the two systems. I can see that someone painted the copper lines blue and red, to keep track of them, but WHY are the joints on either side of the fittings "painted" or colored white?

The Radegast brewery welcomed more than 9,000 visitors in 2010 (Translation)
14 January 2011
Nošovice, January 13, 2011 - The Radegast brewery is an attractive tourist destination in the Moravian-Slezian region. A total of 9,088 visitors came to Nošovice in 2010 to be introduced to the proper way of brewing bitter beer. Most visitors hailed from the Czech Republic, but the largest group of foreigners came from Poland, representing 5 percent of all visitors. An important event for the brewery and for the entire region was the opening of the brand-new Visitor Center, which opened in September 2010.
"The Radegast brewery is one of few European breweries that allows those who are interested to see the real process of beer making. Visitors have the opportunity to literally look over the shoulders of our brewers," said the manager of the Radegast brewery, Ivo Kaňák, about the uniqueness of a visit to the brewery.
An important event for the brewery and its visitors was last year's opening of the brand-new Visitor Center. It makes a visit to the brewery more comfortable, and it introduces Radegast beer to all visitors in greater detail. There have been no changes to the actual visit of the brewery, with tasting taking place above the brewery, overlooking a panorama of the Beskydy Mountains.
"We are very pleased that the Visitor Center increased interest in visiting our brewery in the last months. We expect that in 2011 the number of visitors will continue climb, in part thanks to the new special Radegast Extra Bitter, which we launched on January 3rd," added Ivo Kaňák.
Important to the brewery is that the new Visitor Center is a place where real men can come to take in the beer atmosphere, and where people can come to buy souvenirs from a vast Radegast collection or to buy the actual beer. However, they do not have to take part in the visit nor in the tasting.
Notes to editors:
- The Radegast brewery, one of the most modern breweries in the Czech Republic, has been brewing beer since 1970.
- Since 1999, Radegast brewery is part of the largest beer conglomerate in the Czech Republic, belonging to Plzeňský Prazdroj, a.s.
- Yearly, it produces more than 2 million hectoliters of beer, with the help of approximately 250 employees.
- It produces beer called "classic Czech lager," and it also produces high-quality malt in its own malt house.
- In 2008, the brewery brewed its 10 billionth beer.
- Radegast brewery is part of Plzeňský Prazdroj, which, with its total sale of 10.5 million hectoliters of beer in 2009 and with exports to more than 50 countries around the world, is one of the leading beer producers in Central Europe. Plzeňský Prazdroj is also the largest exporter of Czech beer.
- Plzeňský Prazdroj employs approximately 2,400 employees in the Plzeň, Radegast (Nošovice) and Velké Popovice breweries and in 13 distribution centers around the Czech Republic.
- Plzeňský Prazdroj, a.s. is a member of the global SABMiller PLC group, one of biggest beer companies in the world, with activities and distribution in more than 60 countries on six continents.
