|Net Reward for Canadians' Preparation
|Canada - Men
WAITANGI, 8 Sept. - This time it was sharks; next week the Canadian team will be hunting Sea Eagles of the Tongan variety in their opening Rugby World Cup 2011 clash.
The Canada team showed their command of the marine world by reeling in a 2m shark in the Bay of Islands, just under a week from their Pacific Island match-up.
Seven members of the Canada team took to the water on Thursday, indulging in an afternoon of fishing ahead of their first Pool A match on Wednesday, 14 September.
There was friendly rivalry aboard two boats, with competitions for the biggest fish, most caught and an ''hour of power'' when players vied to land the most fish in 60 minutes.
Forty fish were reeled in during the afternoon, but Jebb Sinclair was the hero of the day after hooking the shark.
Hour of power
Scott Franklin, who won the hour of power with five, was impressed with his teammate's catch. "I had some fish envy, for sure," he said. "I thought my effort was pretty good until then."
Aaron Carpenter caught the most fish (15) and the prize for the largest catch went to forwards coach Neil Barnes. He was in the process of reeling in a snapper, when a john dory seized the fish on the line.
"It was a two-for-one deal. The john dory just came and ate it," said Franklin.
Not all were so lucky with their fishing. "There is one of us who thinks he is a big fisherman and he only caught two fish. Pretty weak of him, eh?" Franklin said of captain Pat Riordan's efforts.
But while the team's catch was impressive, Franklin is sure their talents lie in other areas. "We're OK fishermen but we're better rugby players."

Thanks to BA Slatetank for the hookup on this 1-liter growler. Poured into a matching large TH wine glass the brew appears a clouded golden yellow with a white cap that fades back to a sudsy topping composed of large bubbles. Some patchy webs of lace cling to the glass.
The aroma is like pulpy breakfast juice...Orange Juice (OK - Clementines technically) quite fruity and zesty with an herbal hop addition to break the citrus zest up. It is somewhat dusty with hops (kinda like the last pour from a firkin that has a lot of pelletized hop debris in it) along with citrus fruits, pulp, rind, herbal elements that are slightly dank and catty.
The taste is herbal, catty, zesty, pulpy and fruity from the adjunct addition moreso than from the addition of hops (or so it seems.) Somewhat dank and juicy like fresh pressed OJ that had pellet hop dust tossed into it. Very rindy with juicy citrus fruits and hops but seemingly without much bitterness.
This is a light bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. More fruity like pressed/zested citrus than hops. A little watery and very easy drinking but this hardly feels like a beer. I dont know if thats a good or bad thing but honestly I am overall underwhelmed. I went into this with real high expectations and while it is good, I think you could get nearly the same product by zesting 100 pounds of fruit in any marginal pale ale. Nice to say I tried it but not something I would go out of my way to have again.

enjoyed in a tulip stemmed glass at the cafe upstairs on tap.
The color is like cider -light amber with moderate haze and golden hues with thick white creamy cap lots of lace sticks. The smell has a strong citrus aroma -I thought it had citra it in it but the amarillo and nelson give a moderate graprefruit and tropical orange scent with clementine adding to the combo. The feel is moderately high bitterness with lots of juiciness and medium carbonation and light alcohol.
The taste has a juicy tangy, tangy and slight dank flavor from the hops with no sour fruit or harsh bitterness but there is a yeasty fruit undertone with a moderately herbal and somewhat smooth IPA/pale...it is hopped like an IPA with a clementine flavor apparent alongside the high alpha hops which are pretty smooth bitterness wise. This is highly drinkable IPA...I consider it that since it focuses on hops and the malt is nowhere in the taste. I was happy to try this fresh and in growler it is a good blend of fruit and citrus tasting hops

Presentation: 1L swingtop growler chilled and poured into my Hill Farmstead stemware. Huge thanks to Centennial for this great surprise.
Appearance: Medium orange to dark yellow in color. A bit cloudy throughout. Pours a one finger white fizzy head that doesn't hold for long.
Aroma: Mango, tropical fruits and a nice burst of orange zest and juice. Really nice balance of fresh citrus, fruity hops, and some mild bitterness.
Taste: Orange juice and orange zest tones upfront cut through the big fruity hops. The hops are not overly strong at this point but that allows the citrus to really stand out. A slightly bitter aftertaste and light, dry finish. Really tasty.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a burst of carbonation upfront. The acid from the citrus really seems to reduce the carbonation level in this hoppy citrus brews.
Overall, another great offering from Tired Hands. The citrus is really bright and complemented by the hop character. Really well done and nicely balanced. A really refreshing beer.

Pours a pale golden color, much lighter than anticipated. Smell is strong citrus with a bit of the pale malt poking through.
Taste - I get some nice citrus fruits and crackery malt with almost a wheaty charactersitic to it. If I did not know that there was clementine juice and zest in this, I certainly would never have guessed it. I have had plenty of other APAs that have more citrus characterstic than this brew.
Overall, delicate is the word that comes to mind. This is not a beer to drink with heavy food, as the balanced characeristic would easily be overpowered by whatever you were eating.
In the end, a bit underwhelming. Perhaps my expectations were a tad high, or perhaps I just prefer brews with more intense flavors. If this were available in a reasonably priced six pack I would have an interest in picking it up again, but I would certainly never pay $25 for a growler again ($20 for the beer, $5 for the growler).

M: light bodied. Crisp. Heavier carbonation. Low to mild bitterness.
O: this is a very nice beer. There is a lot going on for a lighter style beer.

Acquired via trade
Thanks, YaKnowBrady!
A very pretty pale ale. A hazy golden and light yellow. Lighter in color than I anticipated. This leaves the glass just covered in irregular spiderwebs and lines of sticky, creamy lace. Very, very pretty pale ale.
The aroma, like with many of American's finest fresh pale ales, is it's best attribute. A complex but welcoming and bright citrus layer meld well with tropical notes. There is, without a doubt, a bit of grain coming through in the aroma as well, but it seems to be a very well rounded, earthy, and floral note, as opposed to a bready sweetness. Bright and citrus-forward, though I wouldn't call it pungent.
The flavor is nearly as good as the aroma. Low bitterness, except there is a welcoming wave of bitterness on the swallow. Tropical and citrus fruits. I want to say I get a touch of a wheat addition, but I might be mistaken. Citrus zest and juice are present.
The flagship of this beer: light and crisp, yet full, coating, and disappearing, strangely. Bitter zest finish. Love it.
The type of beer I would kill to have a keg of at home.

Received this one in a trade with acurtis. Huge thanks Alan! Poured from a 32 oz. growler into a tulip glass.
A - Pours a beautiful light yellow with a one and a half finger head. Not incredibly carbonated but definitely enough. Nice and hazy, with ridiculous lacing.
S - Incredibly grassy & fruity. Smells incredibly fresh, like it was bottled only yesterday! Juicy & enticing.
T - Damn, this is smooth. Lots of sweet orange & lemon, balanced with the perfect amount of hop bitterness. Way too drinkable!
M - Medium bodied, with a good amount of carbonation. Slightly drying, which only makes me want to drink this like it's a race.
O - Beautiful beer, and incredibly juicy & drinkable. My first brew from Tired Hands & I'm already a fan -- must get more... Thanks again Alan!

Poured from a growler at a recent tasting. Hadn't heard of this one before, and with a name like that, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Pours a light-straw, apple-juice looking color, except filled with cloudy haze throughout. Nice-sized white head tops this one off, leaving a little bit off lacing on the glass.
The aroma is simply beautiful - big-time citrus aromas; pineapples, oranges, mangoes, grapefruits - all met by a nice match of equally prominent hop aromas; pungent, resinous oils and grassy pine needles. Goddamn this stuff is making my mouth water. Very reminiscent of Zombie Dust, although slightly less fruity/tropical and a bit underpowered - but still damn impressive. Nelson and Amarillo hops make a damn good combination.
Light, sweet malt lays down the foundation for this beer, but that's about all it does. Once you get that initial malt sweetness, it's immediately laid to waste by the onslaught of raw hoppiness. Sweet and vibrant - pines, pungent oils, leafs, florals, pineapples, tangerines, mangoes, grapefruit rind... Hot damn, this stuff is delicious. Slightly oniony, enough to add an interesting element, but far from off-putting or distracting.
A little bit more of that sweet malt is felt in the aftertaste, but still lays underneath the fading pine and citrus flavors. Again, this beer reminds me quite a bit of one of my favorites - Zombie Dust, although it's not quite as powerful and pungent, it's still really fucking good and really fucking drinkable. Medium bodied, on the higher side of the carbonation scale (pretty good for a growler).
Out of all the beers we had during this tasting (20+), I was probably expecting the least out of this one, mainly because I had never heard of it before. But it ended up being one of my favorites. I'm a sucker for hoppy pale ales that deliver a huge, hoppy punch while keeping their superior drinkability. This one delivers, no doubt. Thanks again to Steve for the growler.

Growler into a DFH off-centered pint glass. Many thanks to Holland for the trade!
The Light that Spills from the growler into my glass, filling it with a clearish, goldenrod-hay color. Slight haze on successive pours. The lacing is spectacular, with clumpy webs of off-white fluff clinging to the sides of the pint. The nose is equally impressive. Fresh clementine zest and citrus flesh leap out of the glass. Citrus is pushed to the maximum level, yet the overall aroma is that of a very clean pale ale. A touch of pine and dry cracker maltiness in the background. Very happy with this beer so far.
The flavor continues the citrus theme, bringing fresh tangerine juice and orange peel to every inch of the palate. Thankfully the bitterness is all hops and no citrus rind. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, but juicy at the same time. The Light is an exercise in balance, and highly reminiscent of the excellent pale ales produced by a noteworthy brewery up in Vermont. Highly drinkable, as my growler disappeared entirely too quickly. Nice job, Tired Hands!

On tap and from a growler later.
Appearance: cloudy dull yellow with a thin white head. Really interesting color.
Nose: Mango, pineapple, extremely fresh and juicy. Plenty of orange; both pith and zest, as well as some candied lemon, a hint of flowers, and toasted croissant.
Taste: A delicious combination of mango and clementine with pine needles and sweet lemon drops. Very elegant floral finish. Full and intensely flavored, but still sophisticated and clean.
Mouthfeel: Full and bubbly. A good bit of mouth feel was lost in the growler (only one week old).
Overall: Easily one of my favorite pale ales and definitely a a good way to start off 2013. Deliciously fruity and floral, yet delicate and sophisticated. This one should put Tired Hands way up on the hype-charts.

A: On the pour, it's a hazy light yellow. Really pale. Fluffy bright white head. Light lacing is left on the glass after swirling it around. Good looking brew.
S: On the nose, getting some nice citrus notes from the clementine additions. Also, I'd assume from the hop varietals used. Low malt bill I'd assume.
T: Nice up front bitterness. Nice fruity hop character and from the additions. Thin body on this one, which is nice. It's all hops and flavor. Finish is crisp and refreshing.
M: Light to medium bodied. I'd say more light.

Poured from a growler into my new Tired Hands stem glass at a tasting on 1/26/2012. Thanks to baybum for both the growler and the glass!
Pours a very light color (straw?) with a huge and extremely bubbly head. Does not look like an IPA or like a fruit beer, body looks closer to a cream ale or light lager, but really this is its own thing. Very pretty.
Smells of light citrus, oranges and grapefruit and tropical hops.
Taste is awesome. Very light body, not a lot of assertive malt or hop bitterness, but an explosion of delicious and refreshing clementine and other citrus/tropical fruit. So good.
Mouthfeel is out of this world, super well carbonated but it doesn't feel overly fizzy exactly, just drinkable to the point of wanting to chug the growler. Insanely refreshing, I could drink this SO FAST and only want more.
This beer was fantastic and utterly unique, maybe the most refreshing beer I've ever had. Never seen a growler disappear so fast at a small tasting. Looking forward to trying more Tired Hands beer!

This was served on-tap at their establishment in Ardmore.
Appearance is light gold, just about a finger of a white head. With that time, all that is left atop is a small amount of lace. TLTS has a nose with lemon rind, hops, some faint pepper and those clementimes really come through as well. It has a taste filled with citrus; the nelson sauvin hops assert themselves and a some spices are on the palate too. Mouthfeel is incredibly soft, finishes very clean. This is very sessionable, although the ABV may be slightly higher than some folks definition of that term. Nonetheless, this is a very good beer & I am jealous of those who live closer to TH.

Poured from growler into Tired Hands stemmed glass. Drank most of the growler last night with a friend, and I am finishing the last pint today.
Poured a cloudy yellow hue with a sudsy, egg-shell white head only about a half inch thick. Zero head retention and no lacing, though I blame this on that is it a growler that has been opened. I think it looks more like a witbier than an IPA with this level of cloudiness.
Aroma is wonderful, and fairly similar to other dank IPA's that I have had from Tired Hands. Gentle notes of citrus fruit, pineapple, taffy, white grape juice, and mango.
The taste echoes the aroma and delivers big flavors of clementines, juicy fruit, white grape juice, grassy hops, and underlying tropical fruits. Bitterness is very mild and completely in balance with the malts. Almost tastes like there is some wheat in this malt bill.
Body is light to medium fullness, with very smooth carbonation (last pour from a growler) and a soft texture.
This beer is amazing. I would drink this all the time if I could. It definitely drinks more like a pale ale than an IPA, and I would be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like this beer. Such a well-designed beer and I am glad I picked up a growler of this one!

Pours pale yellow with golden hue, thick white head builds up (as it always does at TH), leaving sticky lacing on the glass while drinking.
Great citrus-forward hoppiness in the nose loaded with clementines, grapefruit and orange. Citrus acidity, biscuit malt and faint touch of sweetness.
Hoppy and bitter up front, packed with clementines and citrus. Pithy and pulpy with orange peel, snappy hop bitterness from start to finish. Mild backbone with a kiss of caramel sweetness and doughy malts. Finishes crisp and dry.
Medium body, well carbonated, smooth and creamy on the tongue. Tired Hands makes a ton of tasty (D)IPAs, but this was a major stand out for me. Vampire is still my favorite, but this is probably a close runner-up.

On tap at Tired Hands. Subsequently consumed from a growler into Tired Hands Stemware.
Pours a nice moderate orange color with a good white head. The nose bursts with loads of fresh clementine and citrus zest. Tropical fruits carry through underneath. The flavor is just as good with a great hop bite alongside the fresh citrus character.
Fairly-light body with a perfect balancing bitterness. Clementine and fresh citrus all through the finish. The bitterness level is pronounced, but never enough to interfere with flavor or drinkability. Beautiful dryness through the finish.
I would have liked to have drained a keg of this by myself.

On-tap at the brewpub
The body sits a cloudy pale yellow in color with a creamy bone white cap. Excellent retention with tons of spider web lacing coating the glass.
Huge citrus nose. The clementines give this an added burst on top of an aggressive hop aroma of white grapefruit, oranges, and tropical fruit. Clean malt bill underneath.
Citrus all day. Clementines attack the palate up front with clean malt through the middle. Grapefruit, oranges, and tropical fruit blend with the clementines for a burst of citrus bitterness ending a dry finish.
Medium body with tremendous feel. Smooth all the way through to a dry, bitter finish.
I am amazed at the amount of flavor and the balance achieved. Don't get me wrong, this is a hoppy number, but it is a well balanced hop assault.

On-tap at Tired Hands Brew Cafe 4/12/13.
A: Cloudy pale yellow color. Almost green like hues. Thin white head and a good amount of lacing throughout. Another nice looking beer from TH.
S: Like Mago Tago the aroma is a thing of beauty. Can sit there and sniff on this all day long. Tons of citrus aroma in this one between the hops and the clementines. Also getting grapefruit, oranges, a bit of lemon.
T: Same as aroma but I'm getting a ton of orange peel in this batch vs. the first batch that TH did. Making this a bit more on the bitter end than I remember the first batch being. With that said this is still the juicy pale ale I remember this beer being the first time around. Definite citrus up front and grassy hop-like dry finish in the end.
M: Mouthful is lightly and perfectly carbonated like most Tired Hands beers are. An easy, delightful drinker
O: Absolutely love this beer. Hope Tired Hands keeps brewing it over and over. Would love to have a growler of this on hand throughout the warmer months. Beautiful citrus aromas, juicy yet bitter citrus flavors on the mouth. More please.

Served on-tap at the brewpub. Review #666...
A - Pours pale yellow with a frothy one finger tall white head leaving small trails of lace down part of the glass.
S - Smells of super fresh clementine pulp and zest, juicy citric hops, grass and some pale malt. The nose is incredible on this one.
T - Starts off with the intense citric hop bitterness quickly giving way to the strong clementine fruitiness, chewy pale malt and some of the fresh cut grass. Finish is a touch chewy with plenty of hop bitterness, not lingering on the palate for very long at all.
M - Medium-Light body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, chewy feel with plenty of bitterness.
O - I have had both batches of this one and both have been excellent. It remains one of my favorite Tired Hands beers to date. One of my favorite APA's to date.

This poures out as a hazy yellow color with a foamy looking white head on top. The retention and lacing were very nice on this beer. The smell of the beer has a very nice bright and fresh hop aroma. The aromas of citrus and wheat blend nicely with a subtle floral note in there as well. The taste of the beer has a very nice hoppy flavor, suble notes of citrus as well as some earth grains in the finish. The mouthfeel is light bodied with a decent amount of carbonation to it. Overall it's good IPA. Very refreshing and not a kick in the teeth hop bomb. It's got a good amount of flavor and aroma for the style while keeping it's drinkablity to a maximum. As cloudy as this beer is I feel it still has a crisp clean flavor to it which is really nice. This beer would be really good in the warmer months.

First had: on tap at the brewpub
I can't really think of a brewery other than Tired Hands that makes SO MANY distinct IPAs (or in this case APAs, whatever) that are all of such good quality.
Cloudy, pale yellow pour, with a half inch of bright, foamy, white head that retained well and left layers of lacing on the glass. Lots of fresh hops and citrus in the nose. Taste was again loaded with fresh hops and blended seemlessly with a huge citrusy clementine profile, juice, rind, and pith were all present; slight pale malt sweetness in the background, but the hops and fruit were clearly in charge here. Crisp, clean, refreshing, extraordinarily drinkable, light-medium body. I'd keep a sixtel at my house for sure.
Serving type: on-tap

Recent reviews:
February 22, 2014 - I have med. bone structure, and this bracelet fit well, with room to spare. it is also very pretty, and well made. It was a birthday present, and I adore it. Mine was all blue, but I prefer it because I don't wear brown much.
January 3, 2014 - After reading the reviews, I decided to buy 2 as gifts. I was disappointed with what I received. The bracelets look nothing like the picture with all the nice colors swirled around. Each bracelet was identical - light blue stones with a turquoise swirl pattern. The biggest disappointment was that they are VERY small. I have a very skinny wrist and the bracelet just barely fits! I doubt it would fit many adults. All in all, I thought it looked cheap.
June 3, 2013 - I ordered the bracelet because I already had the earrings and loved them. The stones are so beautiful! I just ordered the necklace, also. Very nice jewelry!!
May 24, 2013 - absolutely love the blue crazy lace agate bracelet would give it a five out of five star rating you can wear it with everything
September 17, 2012 - my bracelet had more of the beautiful blue than the red/browns shown in the picture, but the key word is 'beautiful'. i LOVE this bracelet! although the stones have good dimensions (not tiny) it is very lightweight and not obtrusive to wear when typing, etc. you'll feel good just seeing it on your wrist. When this comes back into stock, BUY ONE!!

Should Florida take high-speed rail stimulus?by Opinion Staff
Newly elected Republican governors of Wisconsin and Ohio have told the Obama administration they don't want the $1.2 billion in stimulus previous governors had accepted for rail projects in those states.
Fine, the Obama administration said, we'll give the money to states that DO want it.
One of those states is Florida, which already has been promised $2 billion in stimulus to create a high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando. Wisconsin's and Ohio's loss is our gain, to the tune of an extra $342 million.
But SHOULD Florida take the money? The Republican Party basically tossed out Gov. Crist for hugging President Obama to show his affection for the billions in stimulus dollars coming to Florida. Our Republican-led Legislature put a question on the November ballot asking voters to demand that Washington balance the federal budget. And Gov.-elect Rick Scott demonized President Obama and federal spending in his lavish campaign to win election.
Of course, none of that anti-Washington, anti-Obama, anti-deficit, anti-stimulus rhetoric kept the lawmakers from using stimulus money to, for example, keep public schools afloat. And it was the GOP-led Legislature that, a year ago, wanted even more stimulus money so badly that it held a special session to clear the way for collecting that $2 billion in high-speed rail stimulus.
What does Gov.-elect Scott think? He said he's glad the feds offered us the new high-speed rail stimulus money. But he has to study the issue to see whether it's the right thing.
Some critics have said the rail system is just a boon for Orlando's theme parks. They doubt the route can make money. But fans of the system say that, with the new $342 million, the feds basically are paying for the whole thing. So why not take the money?
What do you think? Is high-speed rail a high-speed waste? Take our poll.

by Edward Miguel, Sebastin M. Saiegh, and Shanker Satyanath. Reading for Tuesday, 13 May 2008.
Can some acts of violence be explained by a society's "culture"? Scholars have found it hard to empirically disentangle the effects of culture, legal institutions, and poverty in driving violence. We address this problem by exploiting a natural experiment offered by the presence of thousands of international soccer (football) players in the European professional leagues. We find a strong relationship between the history of civil conflict in a player's home country and his propensity to behave violently on the soccer field, as measured by yellow and red cards. This link is robust to region fixed effects, country characteristics (e.g., rule of law, per capita income), player characteristics (e.g., age, field position, quality), outliers, and team fixed effects. Reinforcing our claim that we isolate cultures of violence rather than simple rule breaking or something else entirely, there is no meaningful correlation between a player's home country civil war history and soccer performance measures not closely related to violent conduct.

|Climbed with my Dad and Flanders. The stupid metal fenced-in rock they now have on the trail hurts my feet. It is really heinous now. Don't think I want to do this one again. They are probably doing it for erosion control but it really is ugly and hurts a pup's feet. Still, made it to the top and saw the ocean. Lots of dogs on the trail today. A weird boxer who was all hyper, a bunch of dachsunds who were ok, a cool black and white mutt like me who was cool too and a tan ridgeback who was neat. Got lots of petting too from people, especially a couple of young chicks in black leather. Weird crowd there and the trailhead smelled like Rainier Beer. Yuck.

|I have been up the reclusive beaut several times. Great slide photography destination. Hardly anyone visits compared with nearby Ecola and Tillamook Head. The OPRD sign on HWY 26 says closed and that is for the storm damaged facilities and downed trees. In july I counted 22 wildflower species plus some cool succulent plants, but there are probably dozens more I did not see. A must-hike.

|Great snowshoe trip...
Date Climbed: Jan 6, 2008
|I always love this climb, although this is the first time I'd done it in the winter...on snowshoes. It started out with 4" of new powder at the trailhead. The temp was 28 deg (perfect). The trail hasn't been cleaned since before the last few storms, which have been monsters...We spent a lot of time cleaning snow loaded branches above us so as not to be buried alive. Once we got out of the forest we had a short break in the clouds exposing the sun. Felt good...although once I reached the saddle the wind howled and ice pellets blew sideways depositing into deep snowdrifts. The summit was socked in offering no views. Was back to the truck in about an hour.

Date Climbed: May 30, 2007
|I've climbed this one a few times, and the weather can be everything from down right gorgeous to icy and windy. A fun way to climb is to go up in the early morning before it is light, and then watch everything lighten up from the top. Sunsets are also pretty impressive on a clear day, or even partly cloudy day.

A week ago, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said there were no easy or homecoming games in the National Football League.
But the Ravens' game against the Oakland Raiders at M&T Bank Stadium had the same festive, homecoming atmosphere, the only things missing were a parade, people parachuting out of airplanes and a king and queen.
Like most host teams on this special day, the Ravens scored every way possible and they did exactly what good teams do to poor ones.

After Sunday's horrible, embarrassing and disgraceful performance, the Raiders have to be the worst team in the NFL, maybe in league history including some of those ugly teams in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit.
The Raiders were so miserable that they should be forced to walk back to the West Coast.
After the game, I was waiting for Harbaugh to come into his news conference and say how great the Raiders were and that they were on their way to becoming a power.
Tomatoes were ready to be thrown.
But not even the usual optimistic Harbaugh could defend the Raiders.
"Wow, that's a great question," said Harbaugh, laughing when asked about his previous comments about no homecoming games in the NFL. "I have no answer for that. Sometimes it just goes that way, right? Our guys made some plays."
It was homecoming in Baltimore on Sunday, a great day to pad your statistics if you were a Ravens player and to be a fan.
You know it's homecoming:
When Ravens backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor is warming up on the sidelines at the end of the third quarter.
When Ravens tight end Ed "Can't Catch A Cold" Dickson has two receptions of 40 and 19 yards.
When it's 2 p.m., and you're already looking to see who is playing at 4 even though you're still at the stadium.
When the Ravens score two touchdowns on special teams, one off a fake field goal and the other on a kickoff return.
You know it's homecoming:
When the Ravens score 41 points and there is 9 minutes and 20 seconds left in the third quarter.
When Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata doesn't start the game and leaves without someone else's blood on his pants.
When every Ravens fan leaves the stadium and not one is complaining about coordinators Cam Cameron, Dean Pees or Harbaugh.
When some goofy fans drinking the Purple Kool-Aid start talking about ordering Super Bowl tickets.

The B-1500 Laser Rangefinding Binocular mates two effective optical tools in a single, compact package. Forget about excess weight and fumbling between separate field glasses and rangefinder.
Hunters can glass a highly reflective target with the superbly sharp 7X40mm binocular, then determine its range within +/-2 yards out to 1,500 yards without missing a beat. On less reflective targets — like deer in poor light — the B-1500 delivers accurate performance beyond 600 yards.
The Laser Rangefinding Binocular is powered by a standard 9 volt battery and features an automatic Rain Mode, TargetQuality Indicator, Accuracy Indicator, and Battery Strength Indicator.

Another TdF, EDIT- 3 dopers and counting!
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
Another TdF, EDIT- 3 dopers and counting!
I'm a fairly serious fan of cycling, but I gotta say I'm getting really fed up with these jokers. I've been trying to stay optimistic, have been thinking/hoping the authorities got a handle on it, and the riders want to ride clean, but then down goes another. And this is a guy, Beltran, that I've really admired through the years. He was Armstrong's chief domestique in the mountain stages a few years ago.

I've long since simply assumed (I know, I know) that the World-Elite cyclists were all doing "something" as they'd get left in the dust if they weren't. Maybe I'm off-base, but I just believe that's where we're at right now.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
But isn't this a good thing? It shows testing is still working and all the extra efforts that cycling is putting in lead to cheats being caught. Plus it happens before the mountains and the race is still wide open. Last years Rasmus... and Vinako... ejections made the tour feel very empty and underappreciated. Does Contador get any respect for winning it last year?
Although I don't like that Cycling is trying to circumvent the rules.
The administrations or organizers should show no bias and following their own rules to the letter, if they expect everyone else to follow them. No ambiguity is a good thing for sports. Since the definition of a positive test is both "A" and "B" samples being positive. Sorry, but in no way are testers perfect, if the system doesn't have checks to it how can you be sure of any positive test? Remember Legat? So, the "B" sample should automaticly be done, not just if the athlete requests it.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Wow, that makes at least 4 key members of Lances' teams now busted dope cheats. Guilt by association?
1. Manuel Beltran
2. Roberto Heras
3. Tyler Hamilton
4. Floyd Landis
And when you best man at your wedding [i.e. Frankie Andreu] comes out and says you doped that certainly does not help the image.
So in Europe, a positive EPO test in the Tour de France led to the immediate arrest of an Manuel "Tricky" Beltran. When will track and field get that serious?
Do I understand correctly that you like an idea of somebody getting arrested for increasing his hematocrit?
I like the idea of someone getting arrested for professional sporting fraud. It doesn't matter to me whether it's a businessman bribing a government official for preferential treatment in a bidding process, a basketball player shaving points in a basketball game, a couple of crooks cheating at black jack in a Las Vegas casino or a cyclist taking illegal PED's in the Tour de France; cheating is cheating is cheating.
I usually agree with most things jazzcyclist says but I think this is over the top. They're playing games. I think law enforcement has more important things they can focus on.
Generally speaking, I agree with you. But I also believe that law enforcement agencies spend their time frivolously in a lot of other ways, also. And my primary concern on this message board is the purity of the sports that I follow. However, if I were king of the world, not only would I outlaw arrests like these, I would also outlaw speed traps in rural areas on open highways, decriminalize marijuana and other light recreational drugs, decriminalize prostitution for consenting adults, outlaw seat belt laws for adults and outlaw blue laws to start with. I'm sure you can add some other things to this list.
I agree with your list. How can you support all of this and still demand criminalization of something as trivial as EPO? Rather inconsistent, wouldn't you say?
Beltran should get his ass kicked off the Tour, but a criminal procedure? Jeez!
Gotta agree with most of those - except seat belts. They save a lot of lives, at minimal inconvenience. Take it from somebody who has frequently seen the consequences of not wearing one.
In an ideal world, where NO frivolous offenses were criminalized, I wouldn't support the arrest of Beltran, but we don't live in an ideal world. Furthermore, unlike the other things I listed, which are victimless crimes, Beltran's crime does have victims, namely all the clean professional cyclists in the pro peleton, however few they may be. For us, sports is just entertainment, but for pro athletes, it's the way they pay their bills and feed their children. Assuming they're clean, how much more money might Christine Arron or Debbie Ferguson have earned in their careers, if they hadn't had to compete against known and unknown drug cheats.
What about civil courts? Do you agree with athletes suing other athletes who've been proven dirty, for lost income?
I would not mind it in principle, but I think it is too convoluted to actually prove damages. I am not aware of a precedent.
Bambam, as an MD, what are your thoughts on the medical professionals who obtain these prescription drugs for the athletes?
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Kind of reminds me of all the dots with Marion Jones. When connected the picture appeared quite clearly, yet many refused to see it.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Don't forget about his longtime coach/doctor Michele Ferrari.
If they are doing it only as a way to circumvent the system, and the drugs are not indicated in anyway for a true TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption), then I think it is reprehensible. And I know MDs who have lost their license for fooling around with drug prescribing and those MDs should probably lose their licenses.
But my feelings about the current state of doping and drug use in sports are very complex. I've expressed some of this on this board previously, but I think it has become a bit of a witch-hunt in which many individual liberties are sacrificed at the altar of political correctness.
I have a lot of background on this topic in various ways, which makes my feelings so complex in part. And I will admit here finally that for 6 months in 1970-71, while a sophomore at Duke, I took Dianabol - an early anabolic steroid. I was trying to become a pro golfer and was not a very long hitter. I had tried lifting weights my freshman year with little success. My weightlifting/bodybuilding consultant got me those at the beginning of my sophomore year and I took them. I did not take them to recover from any injury or any of the crap I hear from athletes. I took them to get bigger and hit the ball longer and try to get on the PGA Tour, and eventually it worked although there was a lot of other work involved in it as well.
So there - I finally admitted that to more than just a few isolated people.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Yes, then there was that whole episode where (I don't remember the name of the cyclist at this point) that Lance Armstrong went and deliberately made sure one of those cyclists in a break away on a "rest" day at the tour de France was not allowed in the break away. The sole reason was that cyclist had become a key witness in the case against Ferrari and risked his neck and reputation to go against the grain by testifying against Armstrong's good buddy. Then, when he has a chance for a little personal glory at the TDF, Armstrong personally sees to it that he was not allowed in the break away. The cyclist ended up leaving the breakaway with Armstrong.
Lots of bizarre things in the saga.
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/17072008/ ... -tour.html
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Even if Armstrong didn't dope (and I have no particular reason to believe that he did--I think he revolutionized bike training by introducing training methods that have been used in running for more than 2 decades), he certainly benefited from doping. Most of his victories relied on the support of his teammates, and they were only able to contribute apparently by using PEDs. Heras was particularly instrumental in the climbing stages that Armstrong was noted for.
The issue is whether the drugs are being issued illegally without prescription, at least in the US. If we believe that controlling prescription drugs is important to society in general, regardless of the "cheating" issue, then these should be criminal proceedings.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
The circumstantial evidence implicating Armstrong is a lot stronger than the evidence implicating Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens in my opinion, not the least of which is the Frankie Andreu testimony.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
I think that's accurate
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
I think that it is an over statement. There is no one willing to go to jail for an extended period of time to avoid testifying under oath about Armstrong. Who else touch Balco so substantially and was not involved in doping? There are tests that show steroid use.
Conversely, there are several factors to consider with Armstrong. While a number of his former teammates tested positive, they all did so afterward when they were trying to step up a level. The exception is Heras, who won the second time with Postal (after having won before Postal) and the Vuelta is the weakest of the Tours (Spain), and he only won because Postal was so good at riding Grand Tours and picking up small advantages and Postal improved his time trialing so much. No one has ever tested positive while at Postal/Discovery (and you can add a year of AstanaII). Maybe this is just because they are SO good at it, which might be the case, but that takes a lot of continued organizational silence. The Andreu case is the biggest thing against Armstrong, but even there there are some countering factors: Andreu had been dropped from the team and then dropped from the management/assistance position that he had and the others at the meeting provide no collaboration.
The likelihood that Armstrong used PEDs is not insignificant, but saying it is greater than something that is known, with either one or two drug tests to back it up is too strong a statement. Note that I respect the opinion of both posters here: jazz and bambam, each of whom has experience relevant to forming a assessment.
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
I agree with that.
You are right, the laws on the books are such at the moment. Not everybody agrees that those are good laws .
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
Here are some things to remember about Andreu:
1) Not only was he a friend and colleague of Armstrong, he was the best man at his wedding. And even after Andreu was released from US Postal, he continued to defend Armstrong vehemently as an Outdoor Life TV commentator, whenever doping charges would be leveled at him. It was only after he was put under oath that he changed his tune.
2) Andreu readily admits that his release from US Postal was a business decision based on his decline in performance, and neither Armstrong nor Andreu has ever spoken of anomosity between them. Furthermore, Armstrong has never tried to portray Andreu as a disgruntled ex-employee and he was at a loss for words when asked what motive Andreu would have for falsely accusing him of doping, the same way Clemens was at a loss for words to come up with a motive for Pettite.
3) There was corroboration of the things Armstrong said at the hospital meeting, namely Frankie's wife Betsy.
this is so called "third generation EPO"
still not easy to be detected but seems that the testing are indeed improved
more positive test have been announced today and muuuuch more still to come..
i have the bad feeling the the dope talk forum will be ulocked soon...
Re: Another TdF, another star nailed for doping!
I would agree as well--I just made the point that there's a strong counterpoint to explain his extraordinary success which in my mind balances that probability.
Controlling therapeutic drugs (of which most PEDs fall into this category vs. recreational drugs) is VERY important to preventing abuse by both doctors and patients. If anything, our current controls are too lax and doctors grossly overprescribe, particularly antibiotics.
I'm not against legalization of recreational drugs, especially since several e.g., alcohol, are already legal. But almost none of those are effective PEDs, no matter what snowboarders think....
Is this the first public "outing" of a successful testing protocol for so-called 3rd generation EPO? If so, I wonder if there will be a short term increase in DNS or DNF for endurance athletes in sports such as cycling...or running.
Can anyone comment on the clearance time required for metabolites of the old or new EPO? This makes me wonder if WADA has anything else up their sleeves for Beijing. We live in interesting times, indeed.
Every day the sport of professional cycling is losing sponsors. If this continues, the sport will eventually cease to exist. And even the threat of incarceration, after being frog-marched from the team hotel, doesn't seem to deter these cyclists. It makes you wonder how draconian will the punishment have to be in order to get cyclists to quit doping.

The fact that the former teammates tested positive after being on Lance's team does NOT mean they were not doing them earlier, they probably were not getting caught. The testing for the doping products has improved dramatically and many who have slithered through the system are now getting caught.
Birds of a feather flock together. Marion Jones was constantly surrounded by people who were getting caught or into legal troubles but never did anything wrong . . .until BALCO as we all know.
The fact that you don't fail a drug test does not mean you did not dope, just that you did not get caught as Marion Jones proved and many others.
In my opinion, all the top riders in the sport were using drugs because if they were all using them, then the best athletes would still win. How remarkeable it became that all athletes were able to near the limit for the hematocrit levels once those were established.
My belief is that there was a "code" in cycling was that if you were caught you were on your own and you did not implicate anyone else. This is why I believe Lance Armstrong went after Filippo Simeoni in the 2004 tour in one of the most bizarre scenes I remember in the TDF. Simeoni testified against Lance's good buddy Ferrari and went against this "code" and Armstrong was making a statement to him.
There is plenty of other "evidence" against Armstrong including his former massage therapist, the tests done on the old urine samples with the newest EPO technology. It is also hard to believe that Armstrong could have been beating the likes of Urich, Basso, Mayo, etc., when they were doping and he was not. He has incredible genetics and had a will to win that few could ever approach, but was that enough to beat others who did dope who had similar abilities?
I was a huge Armstrong fan while he was riding and still am, I just have lost my belief in his innocence [due to the numerous smoking guns] and the sport of cycling.
Note: Roberto Heras was a major cycling star before, during and after his association with Lance Armstrong. In 2000, he won the Tour of Spain and finished fifth in the Tour de France while riding for Kelme. In 2001, he joined US Postal. In 2003, he won another Tour of Spain while riding for US Postal. In 2004, he left US Postal for Liberty Seguros and won a third Tour of Spain. Then in 2005, after winning his fourth Tour of Spain, the testing finally caught up with him and he was stripped of his title two months after the race.
Here's the link to the Betsy Andreu interview. It's long, but it's also one of the most insightful things you'll ever hear.

Updated, Oct. 26, 1:51 p.m.
If Sandy decides to venture into New England and sling some mud around, Vernon will be ready for her.
The hurricane could hit early next week and where it will make direct landfall differs up the East Coast in different models.
As Friday morning progressed, the model pointed more and more to a direct hit to the Mid-Atlantic or New England regions. AccuWeather, in an e-mail alert sent out at 10:40 a.m., said Sandy could take on the characteristics of a massive Nor'Easter while colliding with other weather systems and a full moon:
"It will not be a purely tropical system, with a core of powerful winds near the center, but rather more like a Nor'Easter, with strong winds over a larger area.
Damaging winds will affect areas from Virginia up into New York and New England, leading to widespread power outages and property damage.
"A storm surge of 5 to 10 feet, perhaps higher in spots, near and north of where the center comes in will combine with astronomical high tide to lead to devestating coastal flooding, and heavy rain will lead to flooding over a large area around the storm. Heavy wet snow can be problem for the West Virginia mountains."
A top local official said the town always bets on the high side.
"We have to be ready for a direct hit, regardless of probability," Emergency Management Director Michael Purcaro said this week. "It's about due diligence and preparing for the worst-case scenario."
Mayor George Apel called a department head meeting for today at 9 a.m.
Meanwhile residents were bopping around all day Thursday filling their gas cans and tanks, buying provisions like food and batteries and buying generators. If the storm hits Monday, it would be exactly one year from the Oct. 2011 freak snowstorm.
Vernon Center resident Nikki Wilson drove to Cabela's in East Hartford with Daughters Alexa and Teagen for a generator. The store had a dozen left when she arrived there at about 5 p.m.
Many stores were predicting that the local generator inventory would be wiped out by Friday.
The town had all its fuel tanks topped off this week, Purcaro said.
All backup generators in town have been inspected, he said.
Vernon Center Middle School would be used as the primary shelter if people are forced from their homes, Purcaro said. It would also serve as a regional shelter. Purcaro said residents of other towns must first turn to resources there before heading to Vernon.
The shelter would be able to accommodate pets.
Bottled water and meals ready to eat will be "strategically utilized," if the need arises, Purcaro said.
The community emergency response team will be activated in the event of an emergency, Purcaro said.
Crews will be arranged in 12-hour shifts, Purcaro said.
The town's surveillance drone aircraft will be used for inspections, Purcaro said.
The Department of Public Works is making sandbags available to residents who might need them and distribution particulars will be announced today, Purcaro said.
The Ready.gov Web site provides comprehensive tops for hurricane survival, Purcaro said.
By noon, cars were lining up foir gas at area stations.
Town officials will be providing storm preparedness-related updates throughout the day.

Mayor Brown To Receive The Highest Recognition Presented To The Public By The EPA
April 23, 2014 - The EPA Environmental Quality Award will be formally presented to Mayor Brown during a ceremony scheduled for April 23rd at the EPA Regional Headquarters in New York City
As Earth Day 2014 activities continue this week across Buffalo and the world, Mayor Byron W. Brown, along with Buffalo Sewer Authority (BSA) General Manager David Comerford and BSA Green Program Director Julie Barrett-O'Neill, traveled to New York City today, Wednesday, April 23, 2014, where he will be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for his leadership and significant contributions to protecting and enhancing environmental quality and public health in Buffalo and Western New York. Mayor Brown is the recipient of the EPA's 2014 Environmental Quality Award, the highest recognition presented to the public by the EPA.
Mayor Brown, Police Commissioner Derenda To Roll Out New Police Vehicles
April 22, 2014 - Mayor Byron Brown, Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda, along with members of the Buffalo Police Department rolled out the new black and white Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicles. 12 of the 49 new vehicles hit the streets this morning.
"Public Safety continues to be a top priority in Buffalo, and these newly designed black and white Police vehicles are just another way we are improving the safety of our neighborhoods through increased visibility," said Mayor Brown.
The Tahoe two wheel drive police pursuit vehicle (PPV) provide a combination of utility, safety, performance, and a low life-cycle cost. This vehicle is built to be versatile for a range of tasks. The new design follows the nationwide trend of going back to the traditional black and white color design for local law enforcement.
There is currently no plan to change the existing fleet to black and white. As the new Tahoes arrive, the oldest and/or most worn marked vehicles in the fleet will be retired.
Mayor Brown Kicked Off The 2014 Clean Sweep Initiative
April 16, 2014 - The annual Neighborhood Improvement Program began the season in the City of Buffalo's University District
Mayor Byron Brown and members of the City of Buffalo's Division of Citizen Services Save Our Streets Task Force today descended upon the city's University District neighborhood, cutting grass, picking up debris and clearing vacant lots during the first day of an annual neighborhood cleanup campaign, called 'Clean Sweeps'. Over the next six months, Mayor Brown and the Save Our Streets Task Force plan to conduct approximately 28 'Clean Sweeps', weather permitting, to address blight and quality of life issues in each City Council District.

Mayor Brown Kicks Off 13th Annual Reading Rules
April 10, 2014 - Mayor Byron Brown, joined by students from PS #32 Bennett Park Montessori, kicked off the Mayor's annual, Reading Rules! Kids Summer Reading Challenge. The summer program, in its 13th year, is designed to help students maintain and improve their reading and writing skills during the summer months.
"Reading Rules!" began in 2001, when Mayor Brown served in the New York State Senate, as a way to address the literacy problem in New York State, specifically in Buffalo and Western New York. Mayor Brown started the literacy effort to encourage schoolchildren to read books throughout the summer, and submit written summaries of each book they had read.

Mayor Brown Celebrates The Beginning Of The Easter Season At The Broadway Market
April 4, 2014 - Mayor Byron Brown, joined by Father Theodore Bocianowski, pastor of St. Stanislaus R.C. Church, other elected officials and members of the community, officially cut the ribbon at The Broadway Market today, signifying the beginning of the Easter Season here in Buffalo.
"It's fun to be at The Broadway Market during the Easter Season," said Mayor Brown. "The Easter Season means the return of the Easter Bunny, butter lambs, spring inspired chocolates, pastries, arts & crafts, flowers and other delights. Under one roof, we have many businesses and various products that the entire community enjoys. I encourage city residents and visitors to stop by and see all that the historic Broadway Market has to offer."
The Easter season at The Broadway Market is now officially underway. Over the past year, the city has continued its efforts to ensure the viability of the popular neighborhood destination. Investing $200,000 in structural improvements and working with the New York Power Authority to install Solar Panels, in an effort to reduce electricity costs, are just two of the investments made by the city to the 126-year-old market.

Mayor Brown, Congressman Higgins Announce The Start Of An $11.3 Million Makeover For Ohio Street
April 1, 2014 - Construction begins on a plan to transform Ohio Street into a tree-lined parkway linking Buffalo's inner and outer harbors; City of Buffalo allocates $1.2 million to the project

I've seen both and I chose The Killers. I saw them Friday night and despite what everyone tries to say... they were fucking awesome.

Kanye is worse than aidz and cancer combined.

Stockholders (the real True Believers of record on August 28, 2009 will receive $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. Just as matter of background, I am a stockholder of Marvel.
For Disney it was a fantastic deal, they were able to purchase a stable of over 5,000 developed characters, both hero and villian, that have a proven track record at the box office. Over the last ten years movies based on Marvel Comic's hero have grossed over a reported $15 billion worldwide. They will spend $4 billion to capture the universe.
