Colorado's Drag the River are a legitimate, twangy country-rock band that just happens to have some serious legit punk credentials. Singer Chad Price has been singing for All since the late '80s, and original Drag The River bassist Karl Alvarez has played with the Descendents for just as long. In Drag the River, they take their influence from Gram Parsons' gruffer material, and Springsteen's bleaker years. DTR manages to be vulnerable, emotional and tough all at once. AARON CARNES
INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Avenue, Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

Not one to be constrained by genres or even instruments, guitarist Allan Holdsworth takes a winding, inventive road through musical styles. Equally adept at playing jazz, rock and progressive rock—I imagine he could play pretty much anything—the British-born Holdsworth is a regular on lists that round up the best guitar players of all time. He has played with a diverse roster of artists including Soft Machine, Yes' Bill Bruford, and the late jazz drummer Tony Williams. The thread that runs through it all, however, is a passion for improvisation. His current trio comprises Jimmy Haslip on bass and Virgil Donati on drums. CAT JOHNSON
INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

This last of the Beach Boardwalk Free Friday Night Concerts, with Papa Doo Run Run, signals the end of summer and also pays tribute to our little beach-town's rich history as a surf mecca. A long-running band in the spirit of the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean, Papa Doo Run Run throws it back to an era when longboards, Gidget, and fun in the California sun reigned supreme. CJ
INFO: 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, 400 Beach Street, Santa Cruz. Free. 423-5590.
A side project from Further and Box Set frontman Jeff Pehrson, Fall Risk is a catchy amalgamation of different styles and sensibilities. Among the different live performances you can find online, one stands as the most representative: a nearly 19-minute version of a track called "Lemonade," which plays up the band's rock and roots sound with epic solos and some jamming that is of a truly legendary quality. Given their engaging sound and incredible energy, it is easy to see why the gang has opened for the likes of Zac Brown Band. BRIAN PALMER
INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote's, 6275 Highway 9, Felton. $10/adv, $12/door. 423-1338.
When Corrosion of Conformity were at the peak of their popularity in the mid-90s, they had a highly produced mid-tempo, groove-rich metal sound, something like Southern rock meets Sabbath meets grunge. But all through the '80s, the group actually played a mixture of hardcore punk and thrash known as crossover. Since 2010, they've gone back to the original trio-lineup from that time, though it isn't exactly a return to the crossover sound. The punk influences are there, but they play a lot of thick sludgy metal riffs these days. Their last two records in this sound/lineup have been some of the best material they've released in years. AC
INFO: 8:30 p.m. The Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. $17/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.

Considering Michael Rose and his band Black Uhuru received reggae's first Grammy win in 1984, it's easy to recognize Rose as a legend in his own right. Performing as both a solo artist and as part of Black Uhuru, "Ruff" Rose brings a more hardcore, volatile sound to reggae than many of his predecessors and contemporaries. His songs have evolved throughout the years to capture a wide range of reggae fans, while still retaining the messages and sounds that defined his early work. SYDNEY MOORHEAD
INFO: 9 p.m. Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 479-1854.
Drawing inspiration from the blues and classic rock sounds, the Groove Hounds are a rocking, groove-driven local band. On Saturday, they join forces with Harpin' Jonny, a mean harmonica player who, like harp greats Norton Buffalo and Charlie Musselwhite takes on multiple styles including bluegrass, rock, country, jazz and blues. As he once told Good Times, "There isn't any song that I can't play on the harmonica." CJ
INFO: 9:30 p.m. The Crow's Nest, 2218 E Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $7. 476-4560.
Sunday | 31
Quetzal's lively brand of Chicano rock has been on display since they started out two decades ago, with their sound employing elements of jazz, Afro-Cuban, R&B and Mexican music. Their dedication to providing world-class music—their fifth and most recent album, 2012's Imaginaries, won a 2013 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album—has also given them a chance to partake for more than a decade in Fandango Sin Fronteras, a transnational dialogue between California- and Veracruz, Mexico-based musicians. BP
INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.
Texas multi-instrumentalist Guy Forsyth is a ham. At least that's what people that saw his old band, the Asylum Street Spankers would say. They played a comedic, tongue-in-cheek version of old timey American folk music. It was natural for Forsyth, who started out as a comic stuntman at renaissance faires, and later took his guitar to street corners and busked. He quickly learned how to be a showman. When he left Asylum Street Spankers, he went solo, playing a more serious variation of blues, rock, gospel and Americana, but still his theatrical charm shined through. His latest album, Freedom to Fail, which is his ninth, is the first in which he's really focused on crafting an album for the studio, as opposed to capturing his raucous live performances. AC
INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote's, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. $12/adv, $15/door. 335-2800

Everyone has issues, we all just have to learn to deal with them.

Cops are human too, but they have to be held to a higher standard when they have a badge and gun. I hope the city's health care program is taking care of this man.

Jason: Let's debate.
Resolved: Albert Pujols is not 31 years old.
Rob: I'm not sure who you would debate with!
Jason: Well, let's kick it around, anyway. I'll argue the affirmative, and you play Devil's Advocate. (Literally, Satan's lawyer!) Okay?
Rob: Sure.
Jason: So did you see Dan Le Batard's column? I mean, did you see it?
... like a lot of teams, the Marlins believe Pujols to be older than the 31 he claims to be... Keep in mind, the Marlins told popular Dan Uggla they wouldn't ever give a player older than 30 a contract of more than four years. And now they're offering nine to Pujols, whose age they don't even know.[snip]
Fielder fits Florida's philosophy a lot better than Pujols because you don't have to give him as much money or years, and you get him in his prime and ascending as opposed to Pujols, who has to terrify you coming off the worst year of his life now that, in the post-steroids era, there is no fountain of youth and the normal decline of a hitter begins around the 33, 34, 35 that Pujols indeed might be.
Rob: I saw the excerpt at Baseball Think Factory. And of course thought immediately of you. But this was the first time I can remember where an actual newspaper columnist gave any credence to the notion that maybe Albert Pujols is perhaps somewhat older than he's been letting on.
Jason: Right. Until now, questions about Pujols' age were mostly discussed at places like this (you should definitely click on that, by the way), rather than the Miami Herald, so this seems significant.
I've long thought that a) Pujols is older than he claims and b) this is the most important sports story that the press never talks about. And so I view Le Batard's column, in which he practically assumes Pujols' official age is a fiction, and the MIT Analytics conference, where you and a four other people went on record with the same belief, as somewhat vindicating. I will now declare victory and go home.
Rob: Well, it might be a little early for that. Now, if Pujols does not get a nine-year deal from anyone, that might suggest something of a consensus on this subject. There's little in the statistics to suggest that Pujols isn't actually 31, is there? Sure, he was terribly young for a great hitter when he broke in. But since then he's had a perfectly normal career path for a Top 10 hitter.
Jason: Well, if you squint hard enough, you might catch a glimpse of early decline in his numbers. His OPS+ has decreased every year since 2008. But I wouldn't want to make too much of that, because he's still playing at a superstar level, and really, who needs statistics when you've got a lot of rumors and hearsay evidence?
The case against Albert Pujols being 31 years old is a circumstantial one. It has to be, because no media outlet seems willing to actually investigate how old he is. And the only guy brave and handsome enough to bring it up all the time doesn't have the resources to hunt down his Dominican birth certificate.
Rob: You mean Le Batard? Yeah, he is a handsome devil, ain't he? Let me play Satan's Advocate for a moment, on two fronts. One, we don't know that nobody has investigated Pujols's birthday. We only know that nobody has presented any real evidence, one way or the other. It's quite possible that the Cardinals have done plenty of work, and found something. One way or the other. I have to think that any team considering a $200 million investment would spend, I don't know, twenty grand on a couple of private investigators. Or something.
Two, it's probably not all that surprising that people who saw Pujols in high school and juco were surprised that he was only (supposedly) 17 or 18 or whatever. I'll bet Herschel Walker didn't look like he was 17 when he was 17, either. There are basketball players who, at 17 or 18, are ready to compete at the highest level of the sport. Maybe Albert Pujols was just a Prodigy for the Ages?
Jason: Both excellent points. I used to think sentiment might prevent the Cardinals from doing their due diligence. But that's crazy. It's just too much money not to check.
I think the Cardinals must know how old he is. (Whitey says they do!) And I think this likely affected the abortive negotiations for an extension last March. But whereas the Cardinals might reason, as the Yankees did with Jeter, that he's worth more to them in terms of long-term revenues than to other teams, I don't see how it makes sense for Miami. But that's another topic.
To your second point, was Pujols a "Prodigy for Ages"? Maybe. I think Pujols is obviously physically different than other humans. He heals faster than Wolverine, for instance. But both things could be true: he could be a physical marvel and be lying about his age.
Either he's the only player in the modern era who could compete at an MVP-level at age 20, or he wasn't 20. Which is more likely?
Rob: I don't know, man. Maybe we were just due for another Ty Cobb / Ted Williams / etc. And for that matter, you seem to have completely forgotten Alex Rodriguez, who very nearly was the MVP at 20.
I do think the Cardinals' caution might suggest something interesting, which I mentioned last spring when their reported offer seemed absurdly low. If they had any interest in actually signing him for a long time.
Jason: Right, A-Rod. Alex Rodriguez was on cover of Baseball America when he was in high school. But Albert wasn't even drafted out of high school. And he was not, so far as I know, recruited by any of the big NCAA baseball programs. He went Maple Woods Community College (which may not be a Division I school, but they are a Region XVI powerhouse). He hit a grand slam and turned an unassisted triple play in his first game. Finally, after a year of that nonsense, he was drafted. In the 13th round. That is, every team in baseball had a dozen opportunities to draft Albert Pujols and declined. It's easy to say, "Well, sometimes the scouts are wrong. They missed on Piazza." Yes. But why were they wrong? Were they unimpressed with his talent, or did they think they were watching a proto-Danny Almonte?
Rob: Did you read the chapter about Pujols in Jonah Keri's book?
Jason: No.
Rob: It's possible that I've forgotten something, but I don't believe Jonah referenced any doubts about Pujols's age. He worked out for the Devil Rays brass in St. Petersburg and everyone presumably assumed he was 18 or 19, but they weren't impressed because he had sort of a funny build and nobody could figure out where he would play on the field. I mean, it all seems so ridiculous now. But it's not like scouts haven't missed guys before.
Jonah tells the story well, but it's just about the Rays. I would love to see a full accounting of all the baseball men who had absolutely no idea how good Pujols would be. Which reminds me, even if he was 21, at the time, aren't scouts still supposed to be able to guess what a player will do in the majors? Isn't that the whole point of the job?
Jason: Well, that and selling jeans.
Let me take one more stab at this.
Pujols was reportedly 16 when his family came to the United States. Had he been 17 (or 18, or 20), he would have been ineligible to attend high school (or play high school baseball). This seems like an obvious motive.
Further, many people—players, scouts, coaches—who saw him play in high school, college, and the minors believed, based on his size and otherworldly play ("one mammoth shot Albert launched at Liberty High School... landed on top of a 25-foot high air conditioning unit some 450 feet from home plate") that he was older than he claimed. It was an "open secret" at Maple Woods that he was "older than advertised." He "lied about his age" (in the other direction) to his future wife.
Despite his remarkable play in high school and college, something kept the scouts away. Something spooked them. Yes, he was... I hesitate to say "fat"... he didn't have a body that impressed baseball scouts. But that's the reason they missed out on the greatest player of his generation? I don't think the scouts were dumb. I don't think they couldn't see what was right in front of them. I think they thought they were watching a grown man competing against little boys. If you saw Matt Kemp play for a juco team, would you really know what to make of him?
Anyway, did I convince you, Dark Lord?
Rob: I won't be shocked if we someday discover that Albert Pujols had a baseball age. But -- and I have to admit that this is just now occurring to me—you've got a huge group of men who could use a really good excuse for missing Albert Pujols. Twenty-nine Scouting Directors and 29 General Managers—or 30 of each, if you want to count the Cardinals, because of course they passed for 12 rounds. Also hundreds of scouts, none of whom saw enough to persuade their bosses to use one of the first 401 picks in the 1999 draft on Pujols. Why haven't any of those people spoken up about their doubts? There must be some retired scouts who wouldn't have anything to lose by saying, "Yeah, I knew he could hit but I thought he was 22."
Find me three or four of those scouts and I think you'll have a slightly better case, counselor.

America is very selective at best when it comes to who we pick and chose when it comes to making celebrities, if BHop was in any other country in the world he'd be on the cover of every magazine, box of cereal, doing all the commercials and an icon to their status as a proud nation.
But in the USA, Hopkins isn't celebrated, isn't given any or very little fanfare at all. I wish I knew the reasoning for this but I guess I'd have to ask you guys here to speculate as to why this is, Lance Armstrong prior to his downfall was The Man in his native land and the only person who stood par with him are Jordan and Pacquiao.
I have a few reasons why I believe he'd never get the status he deserves in the public's persona are the following:
1. Former Felon
2. Not considered by some to be an exciting fighter
3. Boxing as a whole isn't amongst the country's most embraced sports like Football
4. He's African American (not necessarily a racial thing here) but if he were White then I believe he'd get the fanfare because white America still longs for their GWH
5. He isn't exactly pleasing to the eye (looks), the missing teeth do not help
6. In the past some took the comment he made about Joe C "never let a white boy beat me" as a racial attack and they won't live it down/let it go
7. The powers that be doesn't want an old face to be the face of this sport, they prefer the young bruiser types like Tyson
Personally, I believe he should be given more credit for what he has done and continues to do because as far as I know there isn't another dominant champion in any other sport at his age that continues to be as defiant/at the top of their league and doing it against opposition nearly half their age.

I do have a fault with both the people he fought to become the oldest, they weren't up to par and certainly weren't the best in the division.
I mean while Pascal beat Dawson to effectively make him the best, he beat the worst of Dawson, and Cloud is a prospect with a belt
Respectfully Mr. Grover---Bullshit.. the man is damned near 50....those men are among the best in the division and the old man beat them hands down- No telling when Hop leaves when you will ever see duplicated what he has done

Am looking at it like this, Dawson was easily the best 175lber loss to Pascal or not. Hopkins didn't beat the best in that division for the belt, he beat the second, maybe third best guy in the division. I hate to say it since I have massive amounts of respect for Hopkins. But he can't just have a pass because of his age. Just like someone can't have a pass that agreed to certain weight stipulations. If he beat Dawson I would of given him full credit for it, as he would of been the best 175lber

Fergus Cullen: For casino backers, any argument will do
So it is with the casino lobby in New Hampshire. No matter what your problem, expanded gambling is the product for you.
When Pease Air Force Base closed in the early 1990s, the gambling lobby suggested a casino in Newington could fill the void. When the feds cut Medicaid enhancement funds a few years later, video gaming would plug the Mediscam budget hole.
Never let a crisis go to waste. For backers of casino gambling, any argument will do.
When the state moved toward universal mandatory kindergarten, allowing video poker at dying dog tracks in Belmont, Seabrook and Hinsdale could pay for it. After the Claremont court decision in 1997, then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen backed "slots for tots" as a means of increasing state aid for education.
A decade ago, one gambling plan earmarked revenue to fund prescription drugs for seniors. With unemployment high during the ongoing recession, longtime pro-casino state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro called his gambling bill a jobs bill.
Now Gov. Maggie Hassan says licensing a casino is the only way for the state to restore cuts to the University of New Hampshire and, capitalizing on Newtown, to pay for mental health programs. Pass casinos or risk a mass school shooting.
They're miracle products, those casinos. They're like Ginsu knives sold on late-night television. After providing enough money to fund schools and employ thousands, they can cut through a tin can and still cleanly slice a tomato - without social costs!
Legislators should be wary of casino lobbyists who act like guys in a singles bar as closing time approaches, using whatever come-on line fits the moment in their effort to take you home.
Watching the deep-pocketed gambling lobby in action has prompted longtime observers to worry that a future casino industrial complex would dominate New Hampshire's volunteer Legislature in short order. These opponents see corruption and crime as intrinsic to gambling, based on the experience of other states. They worry about social costs, which even the governor acknowledges will increase as a result of her plan. She's OK with that, but legislators may be less cavalier about collateral damage.
I describe myself as pro-choice on gambling. If you like to gamble or see it as just another form of entertainment, I'm not going to prevent you from visiting Vegas or Foxwoods. I think buying lottery tickets is for people who are bad at math, so I don't buy them. You can do what you like.
But one can be pro-choice on gambling and still think it's a bad idea to open a casino in New Hampshire.
Allowing one casino, as Gov. Hassan has proposed, is like watching one ant walk across your kitchen counter. That ant is a scout, and there won't be just one ant for long. Were one casino to open, pressure would build immediately for more, either because the first casino is making money or because it isn't making enough. The first gambling addict will be state government, which will be hooked on the money even as returns diminish.
So allowing one casino is to expect slot machines all over the state. One past proposal would have allowed 100 slot machines at any hotel with more than 100 beds. That would fundamentally alter New Hampshire's brand as a family-friendly place to vacation.
"Casinos provide very few high-skill, living-wage jobs and no exportable or value-added product or service. As an economic strategy, casinos take our state in precisely the wrong direction," former state Sen. Jim Rubens told me this week. Rubens leads the volunteer-driven Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling. The only ones who get rich from casinos are the owners. It's the first rule of gambling: The house always wins.
"It's called gambling because it's a gamble," former Gov. Steve Merrill, a gambling opponent, used to say. Gov. Hassan is finding that out for herself.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Maurice Jones-Drew - #32 - RB
|5' 7"/ 210 lbs.
|Oakland, CA
|Years played
|2006, 2nd round, 28th pick by Jaguars
M.J.D. breaks out while Sims-Walker continues to disappoint
Concerned fantasy owners of Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew finally got the performance they were looking for Sunday. Meanwhile, WR Mike Sims-Walker continues to be an enigma.
Scobee's 59-yarder gives Jags win over Colbs
Josh Scobee's 59-yard field goal on the final play gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-28 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Weaver could pull trigger on Del Rio soon
One more lopsided defeat could seal the fate of Jack Del Rio as head coach in Jacksonville.
Four teams risk blackouts in Week Four
Four NFL games could be blacked out on local television this Sunday as teams scramble to sell tickets before Thursday afternoon's deadline.
Jaguars WR Osgood OK after attack
Jaguars WR Kassim Osgood had to jump for his life on Monday night when he leapt out of a second-floor window to escape a armed intruder who attacked him and a 19-year-old Jaguars cheerleader, according to police.
Five coaches unlikely to return in '11
PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush just doesn't get Jack Del Rio, Eric Mangini, Tom Cable or Mike Singletary, but he admires Wade Phillips. However, Arkush doesn't see any of these five NFL head coaches returning to their teams ...
Jaguars claim QB Edwards
The Jaguars claimed former Bills QB Trent Edwards off waivers on Tuesday.
Jaguars sign LB Alexander
The Jaguars signed former Patriots LB Eric Alexander to a two-year deal on Monday.
Garrard, Jags' pass 'D' clueless vs. Eagles
The Jaguars hoped that returning home after being dismantled in San Diego by the Chargers in Week Two would be just what they needed to get David Garrard and the defense back on track. Michael Vick and a relentless Eagles ...
Jaguars sign QB Null, waive CB Coe
The Jaguars signed QB Keith Null on Monday and waived CB Michael Coe.
Vick's four TDs lead Eagles past Jags
Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-3 Sunday.
Jaguars will sink or swim with Garrard
New backup QB Todd Bouman gives the Jaguars a veteran who knows the offense, but he isn't likely to lead the team to victories if starter David Garrard gets injured.
Jaguars place rookie McGee on injured reserve
The Jaguars have placed rookie return specialist Scotty McGee on injured reserve and signed LB Jacob Cutrera.
Jaguars sign QB Bouman; send McCown to I.R.
The Jaguars signed QB Todd Bouman on Tuesday and placed backup QB Luke McCown on I.R. after he tore his ACL at the end of Week Two.
Jaguars backup QB McCown has torn ACL, done for year
Jaguars backup Luke McCown suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's game against the Chargers, an MRI confirmed Monday. He will miss the rest of the 2010 season.
Jones-Drew has been placed on injured reserve because of a foot injury.||||||| Jones-Drew injured his left foot Oct. 21 at Oakland when he was tackled on the opening play. He started running full speed last week, but his foot didn't respond as well as team trainers had hoped, so risking him in the season finale at Tennessee made no sense.
Jones-Drew ran 13 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals.||||||| Despite Sunday's effort, Jones-Drew is running for 4.9 yards per carry.
Jones-Drew ran 12 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to Houston.||||||| His touchdown was the 75th of his career. He joined Randy Moss, Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates as the only active players with at least 75.
After skipping training camp in protest over his contract, Jones-Drew rushed for 77 yards on 19 carries during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss at Minnesota.||||||| Jones-Drew wasn't expected to receive much work but ended up carrying the load after Rashad Jennings exited with a knee injury. He faces a tough task next week against Houston's stifling defense but should still be considered a top-10 option, especially if Jennings can't play.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated running back Maurice Jones-Drew and waived second-year running back Keith Toston.||||||| The Jaguars had a roster exemption for Jones-Drew, who ended a 38-day holdout last Sunday. He is expected to play in Sunday's season opener at Minnesota.

August 27, 2012
I blogged last week about Isaac's potential to affect our region late this week. Right now, Isaac is a tropical storm pounding Florida's west coast with heavy rain and high winds. The latest projected track from the National Hurricane Center has Isaac making landfall near New Orleans late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. While it was scheduled to make landfall as a Category 2 storm, the NHC now believes it will only be a Category 1. While that isn't much comfort for the folks who live in and around New Orleans, it is at least some good news as Isaac is set to make landfall on the 7 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Here is the latest forecast:
By Friday, Isaac is still located in the southern part of the U.S. indicating that the storm will slow down and certainly not affect our region before the weekend. By the end of this week, it will only be remnants as the storm will weaken greatly as it hits land and continues to meander northward. The one problem is that there is still a ton of uncertainty associated with this system. Will it be a direct hit over New Orleans or will it track slightly more westward? Will it move due north or track slightly north and east as it weakens? These are difficult questions and even the computer guidance is all over the place. Check out the latest model runs (or spaghetti plots) for Isaac through the end of the week:
Some of the model runs take the storm as far west as Dallas while others still have landfall toward Mobile, Alabama. From there, the storm could travel due north toward Missouri, or it could take a slight eastward turn too and head toward the Ohio Valley. The other possibility is that it moves toward Tulsa, Oklahoma and dies out there by the end of the week. It's a tough call no doubt and will require countless updates throughout the week. Will it affect us? That's the big question. While the track looks to stall a bit from what we were thinking last week, Isaac's remnants are still projected to have some affect on Pennsylvania by next weekend.
By Friday evening, Isaac's remnants are forecast to be dumping heavy rainfall on central Missouri. The start of the holiday weekend for Pennsylvania looks sunny, dry, and hot through at least Saturday. The leftover rainfall from Isaac is then projected to turn northeast and move into PA by Sunday morning and continue for most of Monday.
Southern PA gets the brunt of the rainfall as projected by the GFS for Labor Day. Again, this is only one model and doesn't take into account any changes in Isaac's path over the next few days. There are many factors that go into to forecasting the path of a major tropical system and some of those factors have yet to be determined or realized. Be patient with us and plan accordingly. Will Isaac affect our Labor Day plans? Truthfully -- we don't know at this point. However, the potential exists that it could move in and we want to alert you to that possibility. I will post more throughout the week and we promise to keep you informed!

The first collection of new poems in more than a decade from one of Canada's most respected poets
The poems in John Steffler's new collection are enlivened by the same muscular acts of attention that characterize his earlier books. As always, his poems inhabit experience fully, senses on high alert, transmitting the abundance and turbulence of physical existence; they are charged with the raw Eros of being. Nowhere is there a more complete nature poet: attuned, robust, honest, fully informal, and emotionally candid, brimming with energy and animal spirits. Many of the poems in Lookout explore and evoke specific landscapes: the limestone barrens of Newfoundland; the Blomidon and Lewis Hills; the Greek Islands. Others dwell on personal relationships: lover, pregnant daughter, and a touching, finely tuned sequence on a family coping with a mother's Alzheimer's. There is also a wonderful set of meditations on photographs from the archives in Newfoundland. Canadian literature is blessed – and animated – by John Steffler's contributions to it.
FINALIST 2011 - Griffin Poetry Prize
Praise for John Steffler:
"In a profound way, John Steffler's poetry is concerned with cultural identity and memory, and provides a touchstone for Canadians seeking a way to move forward as a nation…. What makes John Steffler's poetry so valuable is that his consideration of the philosophical problems of memory, history and identity speaks directly to key preoccupations in Canadian culture today."
— from Letter of Nomination for the Parliamentary Poet Laureate
"John Steffler is Canada's most sensuously passionate writer. Reading him, we are put in touch with the pure erotic draw which the world exercises upon him. The acuity of his perception, and the size of his heart, make his poems an essential part of our literature."
— Don McKay, Griffin Poetry Prize winner for Strike/Slip
"Steffler paints the wilderness in a language that often 'knocks and hisses and crackles,' but nothing of the poetry here sounds contrived or artificial. [Steffler's work] subtly nudges the reader along, never falling prey to the usual grab-bag of bells and whistles. It is a work that teems with images that are celebratory of life, ones that quietly ring with the music of the land."
— Montreal Gazette
"John Steffler is one of our finest lyric poets in mid-career."
— Ken Babstock, Globe and Mail
"[John Steffler's poems] reveal an unexpected side to the exotic and hidden dimensions of the familiar…. Part keen-eyed naturalist, part exuberant philosopher, Steffler memorializes the terrain of his beloved Newfoundland, in particular, with disarming whimsy and grace. His descriptions are vivid and metaphysically resonant, too."
— Barbara Carey, Toronto Star

Ruby Tuesday gets a New York Times close-up
If you read the SundayBusiness section of the New York Times this weekend, you probably saw the front-page picture of Ruby Tuesday chief Sandy Beall.
The Times had a lengthy story about the chain's attempt at a revamp, including an inside look at the Maryville nerve center, a look at the profit margin on Thai Phoon shrimp and a story about an ice-cream dish that appeared to defy the laws of nature.
Check it out here.

3.05/5 rDev -21.4%
Appearance - Pours a wonderful, stout black with very little head. I can see it's highly carbonated, a nice change.
Smell - Coffee and a little bit of barley sourness or bitterness... which I am just realizing is probably lactose.
Taste - Coffee and roast flavors definitely are dominant in this beer.
Mouthfeel - Medium body and a lot of carbonation for a stout.
Overall - It does not actually taste like a milk stout to me. I would like it to have a little more coffee, complexity, and "milkiness". Not a bad beer though.

Pours a pitch black with a light almond colored head that dissapates pretty quick,aroma is of french roast coffee deeply roasted.Taste is incredably coffeeish with a slight malted milk taste I like the intermingling flavors of coffee and lactose very tasty beer I will get again if given the chance.

Appearance This Milk Stout is damn near black as night with a deep, very dark tanned head.
Smell The dark, roasty malts are light but mix well with the sourish cream.
Taste The milky flavor takes over at the taste. Its almost like warm milk thats starting to go sour, but in a good way. The dark roasted malts have a coffee character to them and blend well with the milk.
Mouthfeel This one is light to medium-bodied and nicely balanced.
Drinkability Theres nothing offensive yet nothing outstanding about this offering from Lancaster. Its an easy-drinker and makes a nice introduction to the style.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue V:
The Milk Stout is the furthest you can get from extreme beer, as the style oozes of old school tradition of a tame dark beer. Give thanks to American brewers on keeping this style alive. Brewed with lactose.
Bubbly thick, dense froth holds its three fingers of height for a good while. Black chestnut color is nearly opaque. Malted milk shake, mocha latte and a hint of cookie dough in the aroma. Silky mouthfeel with a very smooth carbonation. Mild milk chocolate comes to mind, malted milk balls and light roasted coffee within. Brown bread, kiss of molasses and faint, watery raisins in the back end. Hop bitterness is just high enough to be noticeable and helps to keep an even keel here. Lactose twang and malt sweetness in the middle with more mild roasted flavors in the sweet finish.
The sweetness is there but never to the point of being cloying. Very drinkable with a layered complexity.

A - Nice dark color, big dark head that fades to a covering.
S - Lots of nice roasted malt aroma, lots of coffee and chocolate.
T - Again lots of roasted malt aroma, dominated by coffee but with a good bit of chocolate also. Not much hop flavor but a nice bitterness at the end.
M - Smooth and creamy with just a bit of bite at the end from the carbonation.
D - Not to heavy, not too roasted that you are tired of it quickly, nice smooth finish, nothing to not like.

The Lancaster Milk Stout pours from the bottle a deep charcoal color with a very light tan head. Sticky patches of lacing form. Does look nice in the glass. Aromas begin with a deeply roasted malts, big toffee chunks and notes of chocolate and burnt coffee. There's a light burnt sweet milk aroma as well. A really enjoyable brew to smell.
First sip brings a roasty dark maltiness upfront followed by a nice mix of toffee candy, cocoa and plenty of burnt coffee. A touch of sweet milk works its way in nicely. Slighty burnt with a good mix between sweet and bitter. This is a tasty brew.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth with steady carbonation. Good body overall. This is a tasty milk stout that strays to the roastier/burnt side of things. Wouldn't mind sitting down to a few of these...also mixes great with the Strawberry Wheat to make a chocolate covered strawberry. Thanks to woodychandler for leaving these Lancaster brews with me!

Poured into a wine glass (no pint glass available but this worked fine to let it breathe & release so me aroma)
App perfect for style: pitch black with tan head. Head bit thin.
Smell perfect for style: no hops, roasted grain with bit of coffee & creaminess.
Taste excellent for style: roasty, bit of coffee - very low hop bitterness.
Moothfeel: medium-full body, low carbonation & bit of residual sweetness. Right on for style.
Overall: very pleasant roasty & highly drinkable milk stout. Not the smoothest I've had for the style, but close. Great brew, very true to style.

The cow on the bottle just reinforces what this beer is all about - the milk.
It's an unpowerful stout, but a tasty one and full of sincere flavor. Smells sweet and milky (of course) and you could drink this forever. Nice, but ultimately not that adventurous.

Pitch black, opaque brew topped with a semi-meringue coffee colored cream head. Light stick. Settles to a thin, but covering lace. Decent head retention.
Distinct, big and bold aroma of sweet coffee (syrup) milk. The coffee aroma is amazing!
Smooth, silky and extremely fluffy on the palate. Firm malt body, that kicks things off with a nice roasted/molasses twang, followed by coffee, an earthiness, burnt chocolate edges and a peanut nuttiness that sneaks in towards the finish. The added lactose is felt in the body, and the beer is sweet, keeping with the style, but not at all overwhelming. Gentle flash of citrus bitterness, with a very brief dry sourness beneath the malty backbone. Finish is dry, a bit pasty, with notes of grain and a lingering earth and "coffee breath" character.
This is one helluva a Milk Stout. I highly recommend allowing the beer to warm up for a bit and allow the malt complexities to pull through. Lovely stuff.

Almost opaque, with a head the color of the inside of a malted milk ball. Starts out tasting very, very similar to Beamish for the first second or so - then, all hell breaks loose. Flavors of dark caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and dark chocolate sem to come out of nowhere & battle with the roastiness (in a good way). Then the fight goes down the block as you swallow, leaving a very, very round sweet and roasty aftertaste. Almost tastes as much like a porter as it does a sweet stout. Interesting brew.

Dark impenetrable chocolate brown darkness. Khaki head was beautifully thick but settled down to only a thin covering. Still very nice. Dark scents, lovely....yummy and sweet and toasty goodness.
Right amount of carbination... jusssst right. Med/thick, stout like feel that slides around quite nice and thick. Tastes house red wine, sweetness -from the lactose, but yet not too sweet. Bit of a red berry taste in there...
Which is a good p.s.'er, this is nice to blend up with their strawberry wheat as a half -n- half.
I really do not feel it is too heavy to make it not an easy drinker. Those who like the darks and the stouts will most likely find it an easy drinker.
This is just a good beer, I know some who just don't appreciate it, but I do enjoy it. First time I had it was tailgating at one of the last Vet concerts, someone saw my beer goodness and asked for a taste, then wanted to offer up a replacement. I said none needed, but he pulled out one of these which I had not tasted yet, kinda cool.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a dark black look with a a one inch thick off white head. The head holds on well and makes some nice lacing.
Smell: The aroma has nice toasted/roasted maltiness and mild sweetness.
Taste / Palate: The flavor is nicely balanced with mellow toasded and roasted maltiness. It has a nice molasses like sweetness and equally balanced bitterness. It's palate is a light medium and very drinkable.

Lil bro bought a mixed 12-pack for me since he's at school in Pennsylvania. Pours a very dark brown/black color with a great head that goes down with not much retention. Smells roasty, lots of lactose, milk chocolate, those candy Whoppers, and breakfast blend/mild roast coffee. Taste follows the nose...some roastiness, milk chocolate, light coffee, lots of lactose lingering with a dry finish and a roastiness that lingers on the pallete. Perfect carbonation and body, slightly dry finish...perfect mouthfeel. HIGHLY HIGHLY drinkable. Great example of the style.

Nice drawing of a cow head on the label. This pours dark and opaque into the glass, with a one inch light brown head that retains very well and deposits attractive drapes of sheet lacing on the glass.
Aroma has a dark and roasty malt accent that bespeaks of burnt coffee, cocoa, and some hazelnut.
Mouthfeel is creamy and medium full bodied. Ideal level of medium carbonation.
Taste has an assertive creamed coffee component, with roasty scorched malt bitterness and a creamy lactic note of sweetness. More character develops as it warms, and even more creamy/bitter/roasty notes emerge. Very tasty!
Very nice sipping stout, especially for the style. A bit overly filling to enjoy more than one at a time, but this is a very user friendly, milk stout, with the aforementioned, friendly cow on the label. Regards to woodychandler for sending this one my way.

12 ounce bottle, with no freshness dating, pours black, tan head, moderate lacing and medium bodied brew. Licorish nose. Some sweetness evident up front, at the same time abit of sourness also comes through. chocolate flavors and some moderate roastyness carry the weight here. Dry, chalky finish. Decent and pleasant take on the style.

Ordered at lancaster brewing company (in lancaster). Poured black, deep, and quite viscous with a one and a half finger head that left poor lacing. Picked up malts as well as cocao and subtle coffee scents. Pleasant aroma. Didn't expect the slightly sour taste with initial sip. Good body for a stout, left the pallet clean and smooth- hops werent overbearing. Balanced and very drinkable. By far one of the best milk stouts PA has to offer and certainly my favorite from the lancaster brewing co.

Appearance: big 1/2 inch head, black
Smell: vanilla, sugar, and some malt
Taste: sugar cane, chocolate, coffee, and cream
Mouthfeel: very sweet, smooth, creamy, medium bodied
Drinkability: I like this a lot and found yet another sessionable beer. This one is not as sweet or as tasty as Left Hand--my favorite in the style. However this one is close and I could easily alternate in between the two..an excllent beer.

Gays Without Borders earlier today attracted a crowd of 25-30 San Francisco civic leaders and activists from the LGBT community to United Nations Plaza, to stage our fifth annual action for International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
The follow people spoke about global gay issues and called for additional American advocacy regarding LGBT at home and abroad:
We also had Heidi Beeler of the SF Lesbian and Gay Freedom Band play "Taps" on her trumpet, and community documentarian Ken Hodnett tape the whole thing and create an incredibly moving video showing our solidarity activism.
Our action consisted of thirty-minutes of moving speeches and showing visibility, before our friends Miguel and John from the Department of Public Works lowered the flags.
The flags are flying at half-staff for 24-hours in remembrance of all the LGBT people murdered or bashed since IDAHO 2011.
My deepest gratitude to everyone who showed up today or helped make IDAHO 2012 in San Francisco a reality and our best IDAHO action yet.
And on behalf of all the folks who came out to UN Plaza this afternoon, I extend a hearty salute to the brave LGBT around the world who staged their own IDAHO events. We look forward to reading reports, seeing vids and photos about all the fabulous actions that took place today beyond America's border.

HIDAWAY, TX - Although Bill Prindible was trained as a fighter pilot, his role in World War II was changed to transport aircraft for the big invasion. For Prindible, D-Day began on June fifth, 1944, with the dropping of paratroopers behind enemy lines. It had been dark on the flight over, but on the way back, daylight magnified the Normandy Beach, littered with bodies and blood. Prindible says "it was a scene beyond description."Flight after flight, Prindible and other carriers continued to drop paratroopers and supplies. Prindible says he "was shot up but not shot down." However, he lost his entire crew on one flight he didn't pilot. Prindible's plane was hit by anti-aircraft numerous times. One time he even returned to base to find an unexploded shell in his fuel tank.

What theme park tickets have to show us about the hell of free-to-play
It seems that everyone is moving into free-to-play, or at the very least bolstering their games with microtransactions. The art of getting gamers to part with their money is both intricate and inexact, but the common wisdom is that an ongoing series of small payments is the key to a profitable game. Why charge someone $60 once when you can charge them $2 an infinite amount of times? Jesse Schell is the author of The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses, the CEO of Schell Games, and a former Disney Imagineer. He recently spoke at D.I.C.E. about an aspect of free-to-play monetization that is often ignored: The amount people are willing to pay to not worry about paying anything else.
Ride as much as you'd like
"This business of microtransactions is not new. This has been going on a long time," he said. "It's interesting to note that the theme park business has gone in the opposite direction. When Disneyland opened, it was the microtransaction model. It was ten cents, thirty-five cents to go on a ride, and you paid every time you rode." A rival theme park, Magic Mountain, opened in 1971. They changed the model and charged customers one price to get in, and then allowed them to ride whatever they'd like, as many times as they'd like. No more deciding whether or not it was worth paying for each individual ride, or deciding if it was worth your money to ride a second time. You paid once, and it was all you can eat. "People loved it, and Disneyland realized they better change. So in 1980 they changed, and look what their revenues have done since then," Schell explained. He then showed a slide of the revenue brought into Disney parks. The cost of a ticket to get into a Disney park has climbed steadily since. It turns out people are willing to pay more, and in the case of tickets to an amusement park, much more, in order to feel a sense of freedom. Once that ticket was purchased, you don't have to worry about paying for another ride. You were free to do whatever they'd like inside the park. "People like this better. It's weird to think there are situations where they don't want free to play, where they do want to pay one price up front and then [they] can do whatever [they] want. Because that's an amazing feeling. That's the feeling of Utopia. People are willing to sacrifice to get into Utopia," Schell continued.
The art of not charging
The acts of buying a game and buying a ticket to an amusement park aren't exactly analogous, but this is a situation that many game developers ignore when they're working on the monetization strategies for their games. The act of making a purchasing decision is stressful. You have to think about what you're getting for the money, how much money you're willing to spend, what your bank account looks like, whether or not your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse will be upset that you paid more money for a game. Your brain goes though an awful lot of thinking every time you decide to get out your credit card and give someone money in exchange for a good or service. We play games to get away from that feeling, the constant weighing of our options, and games are more likely than ever to continually put us in that situation. It's becoming more difficult to merely pay our money upfront and then take a deep breath and enjoy ourselves inside the park. You can fall victim to this trap even when you know it's happening. I recently took a vacation with my wife to a sort of man-made lagoon in Florida. You were able to swim with dolpins, snorkel around a man-made reef, or just relax in the sun with a drink. The ticket to get in was rather expensive, but it was all-inclusive. I know how much the ticket was, but I still couldn't get over the fact I could have as many soft pretzels, frozen drinks, and beers as I wanted. These items were worth a dollar or two in the real world, but it's an amazing feeling to be free of having to care, to be able to just hit the buffet, grab a drink, and not get your wallet out. Sure, they got all my money at the front desk, and I understood this, but the situation was infinitely more relaxing than it would have been if I had to pay for each item by itself. I likely wouldn't have gone back for that second piece of cheesecake. As it stands, my brain tricked me into thinking I was indulging, and somehow "winning" over the park. That's what companies are missing when it comes to free-to-play. The human brain doesn't like to make purchasing decisions through the life of a game, and it's very possible we'd be willing to pay more than expected in order to avoid them.

There was Panasonic 42 LED/LCD there looking real decent also . Those 3 had the best pictures of all the under 1K LED/LCD 40-50" sets IMO anyway.
I went back this wk . to take another look
They were all gone except they did have 40EH5300 and 5500 Sammies . The Sammies didn't look as good as I remembered could have been a Panel version thing.
I looked at other 40-46" ended up going home and ordered the Sony. It's replacing a 2012 32" Toshiba CCFL/LCD with a real nice 450cd/m2 4500:1 CR Samsung SPVA panel in it ,if it matches that it will be fine.
IIRC when I did see the Sony that would not be a problem I believe the Sony is using either an AUO or Samsung rear LED back light PVA panel so I'm expecting a good picture and decent bright room viewing .
Update got the Sony KDL 40R450A pretty decent picture and sound for a 40"
it's as good as anything (at least that I have seen) in it's price range.
It has a Samsung SPVA rear back light LED panel .
Hires Music formats ..............."Why does it sound like a CD ?" ............. "can we make it louder "?
"The wireless music box has no commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?"
- David Sarnoff's associates at RCA the 1920's -
Guess it doesn't matter if you get a new 5 year old TV or a refurb as long as the warranty is there. My 5 year old KDL52XBR9 is working like new. No panel issues, so far. They'll probably appear sometime shortly after 4/1.
Sony's phone number is 1-888-649-7669. When you call, you must be in front of your TV and you will need your serial number.
1) mention that you have vertical lines on your TV. Sony was saying that my screen anomalies were not covered by the extended warranty since my issues were not an LCD panel issue.
"In addition, customers who paid out-of-pocket to repair the LCD Panel due to picture anomalies on one of the Affected Models prior to the date of this announcement may be eligible to be reimbursed by mail for parts and labor expenses."
source: http://esupport.sony.com/news/449/US/EN/
2) when they ask you if anything has changed with your setup just say nothing has changed to avoid any trouble.
I hope this helps anybody get their TV replaced.
i've had slight clouding since i got it and nothing has changed in the yrs i've been using it.
still have my 40" XBR3, but it's getting long in the tooth compared to the xbr9 and i'm sure the newer models are tons better than the xbr9
Hello AVS regulars. I'm new to this site but as I was reading thru the posts I realized that my KDL52XBR9 might fall into the category some of you have been talking about. Not long after I got it it started giving me trouble with the HDMI ports. But because I always came up with a work around I never made a big deal about it. Now the only device I can get to consistently work thru the HDMI ports is an older Philips DVP 1080i HDMI Upconvertion DVD Player. :-( And even that is giving me issues now as it is seeming to only give me picture but no sound. Yet of course the player does output sound cause when I connect it to my surround receiver it works fine. I purchased it from Best Buy 01/01/2010 and of course like an idiot I didn't purchase the extended warranty.
I ordered the BU board from Sony parts a couple of weeks ago. It cost approximately $238.00 shipped to my home.
The toughest part of fixing the TV was unplugging everything and taking it off of its mount. The board itself comes out very easily and the new one goes in just as simply.
One note though, when powering the TV back up, be patient, it takes a little while. Also, once that sequence is completed, do yourself a favor and download the latest version of the software to a usb stick and allow the TV to boot up with the usb stick plugged into the TV. If you don't do this, the TV will not be able to connect to the network and retrieve content, in fact the TV will consistently give a 2200 error message.
This fix was easy to do and to me was much better than buying a replacement TV. When contacting Sony, please have your TV's serial number ready as the part number you require is directly related to the serial number of your TV.
Sony's phone number is 1-888-649-7669. When you call, you must be in front of your TV and you will need your serial number. You will also need a valid credit card number.

I quite honestly adore the double-barrel Mary-Grace. I met an adorable little girl named Mary-Grace at my old job, and it's stuck with me the whole time! I would love to meet another little Mary-Grace. I definitely prefer Sadie Mary Grace, although I do think of the negative connotations with Mary Jane.

Has anyone here succesfully used the ao-socket library from PDIS Software. I installed aosocket-series60_v20.sis and pdis.sis but test-programs like test_http_client.py and test_mgr_webclient.py keep throwing AttributeErrors.
The test_http_client throws "AttributeError: SymbianSocket instance has no attribute 'connect'" and the test_mgr_webclient
"AttributeError: TcpSymbianAsyncMgr instance has no attribute 'get_socket_class'".
Has anyone had the same problem and knows how to fix it, please let me know.
I'm using a Nokia 6600 phone and have python installed of course. The reason I want to use the ao-socket library is that I get time-outs when trying to connect to the Internet with standard Python-sockets.
Thanks for you help,

The AIMSS™ authoring tool set puts all the technical information you need to maintain complex systems at your fingertips.
Raytheon's Advanced Integrated Maintenance Support System (AIMSS) software is an interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) authoring tool set. Using state-of-the-art object database technology, it enables you to generate, display, store, retrieve, automate, and deliver Class 4 and 5 IETM formatted projects from your workstation or personal computer. The AIMSS software is Windows®-based, and its graphical authoring environment requires no programming skills.
The robust object-oriented AIMSS tool set has the power and capacity to manage and maintain data for multiple systems. Its enhanced import/export capabilities efficiently import legacy data, and graphic compression and database move/copy features allow easy data manipulation. The tool set supports a full complement of dialogs and processes that can be embedded in interactive procedures as hypertext and graphic "hot spots" to provide rapid access to related information in the database.
One of the tool set's most powerful features is its fault-isolation capability. Troubleshooting information is presented step-by-step, as in a traditional fault-logic diagram. Each step has detailed instructions and a question that requires a yes/no or typed response. Using these answers and mathematical operations, the tool set leads you directly to the next appropriate step. Troubleshooting is further simplified by a dynamic data exchange protocol that allows the AIMSS system to initiate a diagnostic test, receive the result, and automatically navigate to the appropriate troubleshooting information. To further assist you with problem resolution, the tool set can directly link to job aids and computer-based training, allowing you to practice difficult tasks before performing them on your systems.
Raytheon's AIMSS software is being used to produce Class 4 IETMs for several Department of Defense programs, including SURTASS, Sentinel, Ship Self Defense System (SSDS), AEGIS, Battle Force Tactical Trainer (BFTT), Fox, and Paladin.
