Argentina was confirmed alongside South Africa, New Zealand and Australia to play from 2012 in "The Rugby Championship" – the exciting and ground-breaking replacement for the Tri-Nations series.
After several months of negotiations with the Unión Argentina de Rugby (UAR) and the International Rugby Board (IRB), the SANZAR Joint Venture partners have invited Argentina to join the tournament. An agreement confirming Argentina's participation was signed in Auckland.
"The invitation to Argentina to join the Championship is a defining moment for Southern Hemisphere rugby and significant for world rugby,"
"The regular participation of Argentina at a higher level is long overdue and we are excited about their inclusion in The Rugby Championship. Playing in the Championship will have significant benefits for Argentinian rugby as a whole and will bring new energy to the jewel in the crown of SANZAR."
"The Pumas, as they showed at the recent Rugby World Cup, play an exciting and different brand of rugby to the other three teams, which will definitely add a new dimension,"
"The Rugby Championship is an annual contest between the 'best-of-the-best' in world rugby - nations who have won six of the seven Rugby World Cups"
- SANZAR CEO, Greg Peters.
The new name of The Rugby Championship reflects its claim to be the ultimate contest, featuring teams that are currently ranked first, second, fourth and seventh in the world. The President of the UAR, Luis Castillo, has described his country's inclusion as an historic moment for rugby in Argentina.
"The Argentine Rugby Union and Argentinean rugby community is proud to be part of this great tournament," he said. "We will work to maintain high standards in our rugby, with our ultimate goal being to keep generating resources for the development of rugby at the clubs"
- President of the UAR, Luis Castillo
"For years Argentinean Rugby has been seeking to participate regularly in a tournament like this. Playing in The Rugby Championship makes us really proud and will compel us to work harder at what we are doing. We must celebrate being part of this tournament"
- UAR High Performance Chairman, Manuel Galindo
Argentina's participation in The Rugby Championship has been welcomed by the SANZAR Joint Venture partners.
"Argentina is a proud rugby nation and their passionate charge to the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup in 2007 was certainly a feature of that tournament in France."
"They have waited a long time to play in a regular competition at the highest level and their inclusion into The Rugby Championship from 2012 provides that opportunity."
"The expansion of the Championship, following this year's new-look format for Super Rugby with the addition of a 15th team in the Melbourne Rebels, is also further proof that SANZAR continues to be the innovative leader of the international game."
"We have come a long way since the professional era dawned with a Super 12 competition and a two-round Tri-Nations series between the Wallabies, All Blacks and Springboks."
"Our international footprint has been significantly increased at both Super Rugby and Test level and the launching of The Rugby Championship next year will be the latest exciting chapter in the ongoing evolution of SANZAR."
- Australian Rugby Union (ARU) Managing Director and CEO, John O'Neill
"This is a significant moment in the history of Southern Hemisphere rugby and marks the launching pad to a dramatically changed landscape."
"The inclusion of South Africa's old friends from Argentina is a great day for rugby and recognises the rich history and passion for the sport in the rugby community in that country."
"It will add a new flavour and dimension to SANZAR rugby and offers the prospect of promoting rugby in other South American nations."
"It also ensures a more logical and balanced Championship with fixtures and travel evened out across the region."
- South African Rugby Union (SARU) CEO, Jurie Roux
"The 2011 Rugby World Cup demonstrated exactly how exciting matches between our four countries can be."
"Argentina fully deserves to be part of the best annual rugby competition in the world and their presence in the Championship – as well as the inclusion of Sevens rugby in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro – help the global expansion of the game."
"Outside of the Rugby World Cup, the Pumas last played in New Zealand in June 2004. As we saw during the tournament, their colourful and lively fans will be sure to add something special to The Rugby Championship."
"This Championship will ensure fans get to see more of the outstanding, hard hitting and exciting rugby for which our SANZAR nations are known as well as the flair and unpredictable style of rugby that Argentina is sure to bring"
- CEO of the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU), Steve Tew
"Argentinean rugby as a whole should be proud of this achievement."
"After many years of history and the hard work of many generations of players on and off the pitch, Argentinean rugby will be part of the toughest and most prestigious tournament in the Southern Hemisphere,"
- Former Pumas scrumhalf, Agustin Pichot, the UAR's SANZAR Representative who has led its negotiations with SANZAR
31st May, 2012
Fixtures finalized (see below).
ANZAR CEO Greg Peters said it was exciting to enter a bold new chapter into rugby history, "with the long anticipated introduction of the Pumas into the world"'s best international competition, The Rugby Championship."
"The original Tri-Nations combatants have won six of the seven Rugby World Cups, while Argentina is a side that has proved its capabilities during Rugby World Cups," Peters added.
"Since the Tri-Nations began in 1996, Argentina has beaten England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Australia; and it is exciting to see one of the biggest developments for international rugby in South America.
"The passion and excitement of the Pumas"' style of play and that their fans exhibit will bring a totally new dimension to our pre-eminent international tournament."
The Rugby Championship"'s debut season kicks off on 18 August with the Wallabies hosting the All Blacks at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, while later that evening the Pumas will visit DHL Newlands for the first time, playing the Springboks to make their tournament entry.
Auckland, Mendoza, Perth, Wellington, the Gold Coast, Dunedin, Pretoria and La Plata round out the locations for the six-round, eight-week competition, with the final match to be played at the near 95,000-seat FNB Stadium in Soweto, where the Springboks will look to avenge their thrilling 29-22 loss to the All Blacks in 2010.
Notably there are two bye weeks to allow for travel in what will be arguably the toughest international tournament in world rugby, outside of the Rugby World Cup.
"The Pumas"' introduction and location ensures that there will be tough travelling schedules for all involved," Peters said.
"To balance this, the fixtures have been scheduled in three two-week blocks with week-long travel byes in between."
Rugby World Cup-winning former All Black coach Graham Henry has insisted that he can take Argentina to another level as they prepare for the Rugby Championship.
Henry has been appointed technical consultant to the Pumas, who will compete for the first time in the Rugby Championships - formerly the Tri-Nations - against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
"Argentina are faced with a very important challenge but we need this in order to improve because we can't improve by playing the weakest, we need to play the strongest,"
"My job with the coaches is to exchange ideas, and help them improve their game," explained Henry, who led the All Blacks for seven years but stepped down after leading them to glory at last year's World Cup on home soil.
"I'm going to work five weeks here, another two in New Zealand and Australia. I would like to help more but I have my family and they are at present by main responsibility."
- Graham Henry, former New Zealand and Wales coach.
Henry's role will be to work closely for seven weeks with head coach Santiago Phelan during preparations for international matches.
The 65-year-old, who was previously known as 'The Great Redeemer' for his work during four years with Wales, explained that his love of the game had been too much for him just to retire.
"Rugby is in my blood. Coaching is like a disease. I like coaching and I like the game. Argentina is a challenge and I enjoy a challenge. I also respect the people here. They are good people, good rugby people, so this is also a privilege for me."
"I think that Argentinian rugby is in good shape, as they did well in the last two World Cups."
"We've begun a process, and I'm impressed with all the information that I've received from the coaches. I hope that my ideas will be useful and allow them to continue to improve."
"This tournament is a big opportunity. We could feel inhibited but we could also give our best."
Praising the Puma "character, personality and fighting spirit", he added: "they defend very well, they only need to score more tries, that's all."
- Graham Henry, former New Zealand and Wales coach.
Phelan added: "It's with pride that Graham helps us. The Pumas staff are very keen to show him how we work so that he can give us his vision and apply his concepts."
The Pumas will play their inaugural Four Nations match against South Africa, on August 25, at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in the western city of Mendoza.
The First Rugby Championship Fixtures
SANZAR confirmed the draw for the inaugural edition of The Rugby Championship in 2012, which saw each side facing the others twice – home and away – for a total of 12 matches.
The 2012 Championship kicked-off on 18 August 2012 and concluded on 6 October 2012.
To balance the additional travel requirements, the fixtures were scheduled in two-week blocks with week-long travel byes in-between. This ensured there was adequate recovery time for the teams.
A SANZAR delegation travelled to Argentina in November on a fact-finding visit to conduct venue inspections and hold discussions with the UAR, host broadcasters and other key stakeholders to ensure the smooth transition from Tri-Nations to The Rugby Championship.

The Iowa Hawkeyes defeated the Purdue Boilermakers with a score of 38-14 making the Hawks bowl-eligible this year.
The first half of the game was a close scoring battle between the Hawkeyes and the Boilermakers. A two-yard rush from sophomore running back Jordan Canzeri gave Iowa its first touchdown of the game.
But Purdue's Kurt Freytag answered with a touchdown of his own just a few minutes later, tying the game up in the middle of the second quarter.
That touchdown was the first scoring play from the Boilermakers in almost a month, who were scoreless against Michigan State and Ohio State.
Minutes before halftime, Iowa recovered the lead with a 22-yard pass from Jake Rudock to junior wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley.
A pair of fumbles early in the third quarter, one from Purdue and one from Iowa, played out in favor of the Hawks, who recovered the ball both times.
The Hawkeyes were able to strengthen their lead with a four-yard rushing touchdown by junior fullback Mark Weisman.
Mike Meyer also kicked a 28-yard field goal adding three more points for Iowa.
The day was dominated by Canzeri's running game, who led Iowa with 165 rushing yards. In comparison, Purdue was led by junior running back Brandon Cottom with 28 yards.
Two more Hawkeye touchdowns put Iowa in a strong lead in the fourth quarter. The first was a three-yard rush by Jake Duzey and the second was a five-yard rush from back-up quarterback C.J. Beathard.
Purdue was able to put seven more points on the board with a late fourth quarter touchdown. But the Hawks ultimately walked away with the win.
Iowa will face Michigan on November 23 at Kinnick Stadium at a time to be determined.

Landowners who do not want to lease their land for natural gas drilling may not have much say in the matter.
Louis Chodkiewicz of Broadview Heights, who fought for two years and endured a heart attack in the process, said a wellhead now sits 175 feet from his property. There are four others like it within 500 feet, owned by other companies.
Ohio is one of 38 states in the country that provides gas and oil companies with a loophole to obtain property and mineral rights, known as mandatory pooling.
"How can the state of Ohio make me a partner with a company I want nothing to do with? It's not a choice, it's an ultimatum: 'Sign it or we take it,'" he said.
According to Ohio law in effect since 1965, a mandatory pooling order can be applied for if a tract of land is of insufficient size or shape for drilling a well and the "landowner has been unable to form a drilling unit on a just and equitable basis."
Tom Stewart of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association said "over-drilling became a problem in the 1960s with landowners drilling wells close to property lines in efforts to draw minerals from their neighbors properties.
"You had rigs all over," he said. "Until someone said 'You don't need eight straws in a bottle of Coke to drain it,' so they put in spacing requirements."
Laws established in the 1960s helped solve problems of over-drilling, but in the process, they restricted the mineral rights of landowners with property smaller than 20 acres.
Since laws should not impede landowners' rights to access their minerals, the right of pooling was written into the law to allow landowners to pool their properties to form a tract of land big enough for a drilling platform and share revenues from their collective mineral resources.
But Stewart says it would be unconstitutional to allow one minority owner to prevent others from accessing their mineral rights.
If it can be shown the holdout party was offered a fair share in royalty and production yet refused to participate, other parties may apply to the ODNR Division of Mineral Resources Management for a mandatory pooling order.
What opponents say
Opponents say the practice is being abused by gas and oil companies, who use it to circumvent the landowners' property rights.
"If the landowners were the ones making the large profits, then I'd believe the argument," said Vanessa Pesec of the Network for Oil and Gas Accountability and Protection. "It's not, though. It's to protect the 80 percent of profits for the corporations."
Pesec said the law also does not specify the amount of acreage that can be pooled, despite ODNR's stated recommendation that 90 percent of the land be already accounted for prior to seeking a pooling order.
"While ODNR says they like to have a majority, the law states there is no percentage minimum, so I could have one acre and mandatory pool 99 percent of the rest," Pesec said. "So by law, if they made a significant effort to get that and they couldn't, then they could still be given the right to drill, because there is no minimum."
In an email to Pesec, ODNR Deputy Director Thomas Tugend said there are no circumstances he is familiar with in which a recommendation would be approved to mandatory pool a majority of acreage.
Still, even Stewart admits critics of the practice are justified in some cases.
"There have been examples in the past, where they would use mandatory pooling as a club to force people to do something they didn't want to do," he said. "It's not a leasing technique. It's a preservation of mineral rights technique. For someone to say 'We'll just do it anyway' is an abuse."
Some Ohio land owners insist the practice is an abuse of their own property rights.
"To know that my state officials think so little of my civil liberties, and they want to strip it from me and give it to private companies, that's just wrong," said Ed Hashbarger of Steubenville.
Hashbarger, who owns 38 acres in Jefferson County, said he and his wife were told by representatives of ODNR and Chesapeake Energy that mandatory pooling could and would be used if landowners did not lease willingly.
"I'm in a legal lease agreement with these companies for as long as they want to use my minerals and land and there's nothing you can do about it?" he said.
Pete Kenworthy, a representative from Chesapeake, declined to comment and redirected all questions about the practice to Ohio Oil and Gas Association, or OOGA.
In 2008, Chodkiewicz appealed a mandatory pooling order awarded to Ohio Valley Energy Systems Corp. of Austintown.
While the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission ultimately upheld the pooling order, the report included that body's criticism of excessive use of the practice by Ohio Valley:
"The facts are: 39 (percent) of all mandatory pooling requests submitted between February 2006 and July 2008 in the State of Ohio have been submitted by Ohio Valley. The Commission finds this a troubling trend. Mandatory pooling should be a tool of last resort."
Ohio Valley President Ben Funderberg did not return calls seeking comment.
Stewart said Senate Bill 165, passed in late 2011, reworked the mandatory pooling laws to prevent such abuse. Now an application for mandatory pooling costs $5,000 and no person or company can apply for more than five orders in a year without special dispensation from the chief.
Still, Pesec points out that loopholes exist.
"A person is allowed to have five per year, but a person is broadly defined, and various spinoff corporations can be formed to pull permits," she said.
Few appeals
Bethany McCorkle of ODNR said that of the 123 mandatory pooling orders issued from 2007 to date, only four have made it to an appeal hearing before the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission, and only one of those has been overturned, meaning the commission ruled against the oil or gas company seeking the order.
She said the chief cannot rule on an order until it has been reviewed by the Oil and Gas Technical Advisory Council.
In general, Stewart said, the law recognizes that the acreage would be drained anyway if the well were installed without the parcel included in the pool.
The order, if issued, must specify who the permit has been issued to, the boundaries of the drilling unit, the proposed production site, each separately owned parcel or tract or portion thereof pooled by the order. It also must establish the "pro rata" portion of the production afforded to each land owner on a surface acreage basis, based on their percentage of land to the total acreage of the drilling unit.
Standard industry practice, as approved by Ohio law is that the gas company will maintain an 87.5 percent working interest and the remaining 12.5 percent is split among the property owners based upon the percentage of their acreage within the unit.
For example, on a 20-acre unit, a landowner having five acres within the drilling unit boundaries would receive 25 percent.
The order must also specify cost sharing for all parties if the pooled landowner decides to participate in the drilling and operation of the well.
"There's been people that have been mandatorily pooled and they didn't like it, but the issue is that their acreage is within the physical drainage area," Stewart said.
But Broadview Heights' Chodkiewicz isn't satisfied.
On top of having the well head closer to his property than was originally proposed, and closer to his property than any of the other people in the pool who initially signed a voluntary lease, he said he has to pay the taxes on the little bit of income the well provides. And there's a catch.
He has received a letter with his first working interest payment explaining that he would be responsible for a portion of operating fees, plugging fees and repair fees.
"As a working interest shareholder, you may be responsible for your proportionate share of all costs and liabilities associated with this well for the remaining life of the well," the letter states.
Chodkiewicz said the company also offers to relieve him of those liabilities by purchasing his working interest share from him.
It all leaves him puzzled.
"The state of Ohio makes me liable for them when I wanted nothing to do with it and I tried to stop it?" he said.
Pesec said mandatory pooling has been a very useful tool for the industry since urban drilling was passed in 2004. Companies can now operate in urban and suburban areas where land parcels are much smaller and pooling is necessary to form drilling units. She said the law supercedes community zoning laws.
ODNR spokeswoman Heidi Hetzel-Evans said pooling is used more often in urban drilling because of abandoned property and the legal issue of absentee landowners.
"It's not a rubber stamp process at all, and they hold them to a very high standard of proving they made a good faith effort to lease them," she said. "Additionally, operators must also prove there is not another location whereby mandatory pooling is not needed."

Where's your favorite spot to enjoy live music in Hilton Head? Hopefully, it's one of the places we mentioned above :-). What song do you love to hear when at the beach?
There are just certain things you MUST do on any vacation and of course, here on Hilton Head Island, we think there are a few items that should be on every visitor's bucket list. Here is the Palmetto Dunes' Hilton Head Bucket List for every island vacationer:
1) Get your picture taken at King Neptune Statue at Shelter Cove Harbour – This iconic statue at Shelter Cove Harbour, just across from the resort, is actually a sundial. But a pic with this guy is a favorite of vacationers, so add it to your list and post it on Facebook (while you're there, post it on our Facebook, too)!
2) Eat at the Dunes House – Open only to resort guests and property owners, the Dunes House is a perk you can't pass up. It's a restaurant and bar situated right on the beach with delicious fish tacos and yummy frozen cocktails.
3) Catch a fish – Head out in our 11-mile inland lagoon with Captain Trent and see if you can catch a "big red" (reddrum or red fish). Kids, try for a flounder!
4) Get a beanie hat and have it signed by Shannon Tanner – If you visit during the summer, head over to HarbourFest at Shelter Cove Harbour Monday-Thursday at 6:30 or 8 p.m. and catch the famous family performer Shannon Tanner. You must hear him sing "Your Hair Had a Party Last Night" and then you have to get your very own beanie hat (like his) and have him sign it with an inspirational message.
5) Eat the cinnamon rolls at the General Store – There's no better way to start your morning in Hilton Head than with these sweet pastries from the Palmetto Dunes General Store. Ride your bike over and eat up! Just get plenty of napkins…
6) Try stand up paddleboarding – This is one of our most popular water sports that we offer at Hilton Head Outfitters, located inside the resort. Get lessons from our paddleboard instructor or let him take you out on a group tour of our lagoon. You'll work your abs, burn lots of calories and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.
7) Spot a dolphin – Keep your eye out when at the beach for our favorite friendly mammals. You'll likely see their fins pop up out of the water. They also often swim up into inlets and tidal creeks, which may be a quieter place to find them during the busier months.

State Representative Jeff Thompson has requested a hearing from the 8th District of Louisiana in order to look into the conditions at Explo. "This should have never happened," Thompson says. The request comes on the heels of a Louisiana State Police investigation into Explo, a company that makes propellants for the military. Investigators say Explo reportedly improperly stored one million pounds of propellant at Camp Minden. The letter, addressed to Chairman John M. Schroder, Sr. with the House Committee on Homeland Security, he writes "It is my request that representatives of Explo Systems be urged to attend the meeting to respond to questions."The letter was sent on Thursday, just a few days after the announcement that Explo would be cited, and that there's a criminal investigation underway. Thompson writes that the conditions at Explo put citizens at risk, including school children.He also states: "It is my request that representatives of Explo Systems be urged to attend the meeting to respond to questions." "I have great concern not only for the families and the school children that live around this propellant on a daily basis, we've now put at risk some of our law enforcement and disposal personnel unnecessarily," Thompson said during a phone interview. No date has been set for a hearing. Thompson says he wants the danger to be removed from the area first.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Nick Diaz Explains Missing Most Of The UFC 137 Press Conference Call.
Nick Diaz and Dethrone Apparel Sale with Free shipping.
war diaz! just let the stoner fight, fans don't f****** care about a press conference or conference call. we want fights!
i sympathise, dana's knee jerk reaction twisted this up into a knot, and as a result of re-configuring reality gsp got injured! who cares about the pre pre fight pressor?
I knew it wasn't his fault.
any1 know his punishment? i personally dont give a crap about these conference calls
@casyboy-Knee jerk???!?? Did you follow it? White spent $9K on Plane Tickets, WAY more on Promo, including posters and online ads, talked to Diaz TWO TIMES and another time to C Gracie who saw Nick running out of his house when he tried to get Nick on the phone. White ALSO talked to Nate Diaz, who AGREED with White that cutting Nick was the thing to do…
…C'mon, Man. Dana White has his jerk moments, but this isn't one of them…
I would have loved to see the fight but NICK DIAZ f***** UP! It's no one's fault but his…
Embarrassing little child who loves to complain and play the victim.
I can't stand this retard. I know for a fact he starts fights with fans and threatens people on the internet, classless knuckle dragger.
Sure he's a great fighter, but who wants to put up with his nonsense, plenty of other good fighters who act like adults.
He's bad for the sport.
Who cares? His boss. There's a s*** ton of things I don't want to do in my job, but I do them and so do you. If he doesn't want to play the game than he can go back to selling weed to high school kids.
Fans may not care about press conference or conference call but the Bosses and Employers do
Diaz should sign a contract that precludes him from any of the pre & post-fight b.s. rigmarole. As long as he shows for his fights, makes weight and tests clean, he should not have to talk to anyone. He is absolutely correct, fans don't want to listen to his drivel, they want to see him fight. Bring it on!!
So Nick misses part of the presser with less than 48 hours to go and he's on the main event!! Nothing that DW can do now, so it's just rich to rub it in!! Go Nick!!
yeah Dana really f–ked it up. He should make Condit fight Diaz now for the chance to meet GSP.
There is no doubt he can fight but he sounds like he is in the 3rd grade with all of his excuses and reasoning for missing scheduled events for the GSP fight. Do you really need someone to tell you that you need to be at a press conference? I think Dana White will,if not already, regret bring him into the UFC.
Oh wait, let me try to understand this.
Diaz is insulted, degraded, and punished for not attending a press conference.
GSP is ok pulling out of a fight.
Now the same guy (Diaz) whom Dana / UFC defamated is the guy to save the show.
I hope Penn pounds Mongoloid Mike into a bloody stain!!
agrre with the first two posts. As dumb as the White/Fertita lie of "we were worried that he might miss the fight" was, At least Dana hasn't broken out with the ridiculous Scott Cocker, "Nick can buy any car he wants, so what he says is irrelevant" BS.
Bruno here's the second part of BJ's documentary leading up to the Diaz fight Can you post it please?
Bruno: yes. http://www.mmatko.com/bj-penn-road-to-ufc-137-episode-2/
Wait a tick, he was give plane tickets and then was told again when he missed flight and Gracie knew. Something smells fishy here
F*** dana F*** the way he handles these situations
he makes no sense when he talks…
I agree. I just would have liked to see nick fight gsp period.
Dana's a business man, n I get that. but it's just tough not to see nick whoop gsp's ass.
WARRR PRODIGY!!! 808 bitches…
As much as I think Dana White has been great for mma WHEN a fighters union forms Dana will leave the UFC & mma, he runs his organisation with fear like a dictator and nobody really respects him, they just fear loosing there UFC spot if they piss him off. In business this a recipe for SHORT term success and the Fertita Bros Know this, they will F**k him out as soon as his Management style stops getting results which in my opion is very soon.
this dude is a retarded latino bum
All you GSP etc nuthuggers
Diaz is honest and a real fighter not some pre packaged ken or barbie
icolater, that has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. SMFH.
gsp and dana were feeding off of the paranoia and worry, 'if he misses this then he can't be trusted etc…" and in the midst of the paranoia he made a quick decision without letting the dust settle a couple days… i t was a reactionary move.. hence why when dana cooled down they only bumped him down to co.. now he is main ..hahahha…what about the lawer that gets 100 geez and doesnt do his job.. money is peanuts to these guy's… just my un-educated opinion…
@johnnycontrol, do you even know what a union is you dumb fu*k.
War Prodigy
diaz doesn't deserve this fight what a fat pile of dog s***. kill this chump bj!!
It would make me happy not to see this fellow again.
Nick Diaz lies.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how this f****** tard even got a CHANCE to fight the undisputed champion GSP? I've been following MMA for over 8 years and I don't think Diaz can beat Anthony Johnson OR John Fitch…much less Rush.
I'm going to dance the happiest dance in the world when Diaz knocks BJ out cold and shuts all you offensive heaps of blabbering flesh up.
Excuses are for pussies Diaz

11.2oz bottle pulled from fridge poured into a bulb glass. no freshness date.
pours a deep, almost amber gold with a big rocky, forthy white head. lots of haziness and bits of sediment. some great retention and lots of nice sticky lace.
the aroma is full of a very sharp acidic lemon grass funk, bubblegum belgian yeast, and some light pilsner/ grainy malts in the background and maybe even a little bit of hops.
great taste! so many complex flavors. a good deal of malty body, acidic lemon citrus burst, bits of earthy funk throughout, bubblegummy belgian yeast. has quite a citrus peppery hoppy bitter finish. top notch.
medium bodied, high amount of bitey carbonation, that settles out as the beer warms. kind of sneaks up on your palate.
this is definatly one of the more drinkable saisons out there. just the right amount of funk to session all night (if you can afford it) and quite a bit of hops, as well as malts which i like! definatly worth a try if you can get it.

Unfiltered golden orange with a tall and thick white head that stays around for a long time. Plenty of lacing down the glass.
Grassy and earthy aroma. Simple and pleasant.
The aroma is better than the flavor. It seems a bit like a wheat saison and not as sweet or fruity, or funky, as I tend to like them. A simple farmhouse ale. Better than average.
Medium mouthfeel. Easy to drink.
A terrific, easy drinking, light table beer. Would go great with food.

Hazy yellow, decent sized frothy wide head to it. Aroma was mildly perfumish, what's the deal with these saisons?
Hay, mild aged hops, almost like a hefe yeast going on here. Metallic. Lemon and soap. Bitter.
Don't really get the hubub about this beer. Simplistic and pedestrian, but not bad.
The highlarious memory of this beer will always be myself waiting forever for the old lady volunteer at SDIBF to get around to pouring beer, so I helped myself, she shrieks "nooo! you can't pour beer yourself," with a look on her face like I just raped her granddaughter. Laughingly, I coyly smile "or what?" "Or you'll be thrown out," she says as she pours me my beer. "Thanks I said, I knew you'd get around to pouring my beer right away if I took the initiative."
Seriously. Next time you're waiting for service at a store, event etc. . . just start doing it yourself. You'll be helped out right quick.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a hazy golden color with a 1.5-finger white head. The head dissipates into a thin cap on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of crisp pilsner malts with good amounts of ripe pears and milder amounts of lightly tart green apples. Also present are good amounts of leafy and herbal hop aromas with hints of grassiness and funk.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though note quite as complex. Light pilsner malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by soft medium fruit flavors. Midway through the sip the fruit flavors fade out a bit with the addition of solid leafy hop and slight grassy flavors that carry through to a crisp and mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall I was impressed with this beer - a crisp and complex saison. Well worth a shot.

3.98/5 rDev +2.3%
750ml bottle, wrapped in a paper outer shell. Massive over-foaming at cap poppage - thank you, refermentation and 'taste evolution'.
This beer appears a cloudy, almost opaque without backlighting, medium golden hue, with a towering column of thin, boisterously foamy white head, which leaves a sudsy, 3 year old's idea of a landscape portrait of lace around the glass as it slowly and steadily recedes.
It smells of pale, grainy malt, black peppercorn, sharp, somewhat funky yeast, and fruity, grassy hops. The taste is edgy, wheaty grain, a bit of oily lemongrass tartness, more softly funky yeast, a weaker white pepper spiciness, and sparkly earthy, herbal, leafy hops.
The carbonation is still rather fizzy and frothy, the body a medium-light weight under all that, and more or less smooth in the face of that general tart, herbal character. It finishes just off-dry, the grain asserting itself to a degree, as the pepper, yeast, and hops dance a merry tango.
A decent enough saison, nice and peppery and kind of fruity - hell, I weirdly had a sneezing fit halfway through, as the pepper essence executed its little transformation. Anyways, a rather enjoyable affair, after that messy start.

Poured from a 330mL bottle into my Troubadour tulip.
Orange peel to amber gradient, cloudy, with sunglow highlights. A smooth magnolia layer of micro-cream blankets the liquid like a fine layer of snow. Sticky pasty lacing - good retention.
Cotton candy, sourdough starter, tangerine, and faint soapy wildflowers in the nose.
Surprisingly dry, earthy, and hoppy on the palate. Grassy/earthy flavors are supported by a lightly tart citrus note. Moderately bitter, crisp, mineral-laden, winter-fruit-like finish with a kiss of peppercorn. Excellent.
Well carbonated - somewhat spritzy in fact - medium-light bodied yet with the impression of being mores substantial than it is.
One of the more hop-forward Belgian examples you'll find, without abandoning tradition like many domestic versions do. Tasty, and a good value.

Another lovely beer of The Ranke. Perfect bitterness.
L: trouble, wheatbeer look, unequal top, last less long than I expected;
S: perfect; spicy, hopbitterish;
T: difficult to describe, in line with the smell, tiny sweety, perfect bitter ending; this beer holds the middle between a wheatbeer (though there isn't wheat in it) and an BIPA.
M: alcohol and aftertaste are nice; carbonation could be a bit stronger;
O: great spicy, fresh beer, longing for the sun to return.

Pours a hazy golden color with a big pillowy white head that slowly dissipates, leaving nice lacing. A couple of shades darker than most saisons.
The aroma is sweet and perfumey. The beer has a candi sugar sweetness in the nose to go along with a floral spice from the yeast. There is some clove and pepper and a touch of hay.
The taste is quite grassy and bitter. Plenty of noble hops used here. The hops also give off a rusty metallic note. There is a floral sweetness, perhaps a touch of honey, from the malt. The flavors from the yeast are a bit subtle, mainly some fruity esters, pear and apple and a hint of raisin. This saison resides on the more earthy/bitter side of the saison spectrum.
The feel is light to moderate with fizzy carbonation; burns the palate a little bit. Has a grassy bitterness that runs throughout the flavor profile. Fairly dry.
A good saison, especially if you like saisons on the grassy side. I prefer my saisons a little less bitter with more yeast flavor but this still works.

S: Musty, yeasty, slightly floral, grassy, touch of fruit.
L: Cloudy orangish yellow, nice fluffy head, decent retention, great lacing.
T: Grassy, earthy malt, slightly grainy. Some mineralness and herbal bitterness leading to a fairly dry finish. Touch of fruit in the bitterness.
M: Very smooth medium body. Med-high carbonation.
A solid saison, i really enjoyed the flavors, i just wish the flavors were a little more bold, felt like everything was too subtle.

I've pretty much given up on reviewing beers, but this one inspired me.
Pours a perfect, slightly cloudy yellow with a billowing white head. It leaves something that's more akin to webbing than "lacing"...must be loaded with hops. A little whiff confirms that--crisp, floral, grassy hops abound. Light pilsner malt aroma with slight yeasty hints. The taste is also quite hoppy, but in a mostly aromatic sense. That's not to say it isn't bitter--it is--but it's a dry, refreshing bitterness. Very light sweetness from the malts at the start, but it finishes without any hint of it; very well attenuated. Substantial body for a Saison with just the right amount of carbonation.

11.2 oz bottle into a Capain Lawrence tulip:
A: Pours a golden, straw yellow color with decent clarity for it being unfiltered. A two finger white head, with decent retention, leaves a good bit of lacing.
S: It smells of floral hops and toasted malt/wheat. A strong aroma of fresh cut hay enters with notes of peaches and pears. The belgian yeast is ever-present adding complexity and depth.
T: The hops assert themselves from the start, floral grassy goodness. The fruit notes from the nose are much more subtle on the palate. This in no way detracts from the overall flavor, in fact I find it more inviting this way. A barnyard funkiness is present in the form of freshly pitched hay. It finishes with a pleasant flash of bittering hops, bone dry.
M: Light and bubbly, par for the style.
D: I enjoyed this saison and need to stock up on this beer for the summer. Not as funky as a Fantome (my favorite for the style) but complex and hop centric enough to keep me coming back for more. Cheers.

Deep saturated rusty orange, opaque in the light. Peachy. Frothy white crop of foam, leaving trails of seafoam spray in the glass. The skim remains on the surface for awhile, then develops fissures after a few sips.
Dry herbal nose, grass, weeds, hay, with a touch of lemon zest. Swirling brings out some slightly phenolic yeast esters, adding complexity. Overall dry with a bare hint of ginger cookie sweetness.
Full bodied, ample carbonation, dry grassy aftertaste of lightly bitter noble hops. Flavor is complex with facets of dried citrus peel, herbs, wildflowers, and spicy yeast. Orange and lemon custard creaminess, followed by a mildly intense flourish of pepper, thyme, and piney hops. Something slightly perfume-like I can't put my finger on. Nice to sip and savor, it's very balanced with more complexity than your average Saison.
A creative and unique take on the style, wouldn't expect any less from De Ranke.

Saisons are somewhat new to me, but it looks as though I chose a great one when I found a bottle of this at Whole Foods on Bowery and Houston.
Very smooth and refined, albeit pricey.
I would love to find a case of this stuff, but even at my goto craft brew suppliers it is really difficult to find this brew.

PENDLETON, Ind. — With the full moon shining brightly over the football field Friday night, the Pendleton Heights Arabians hosted the Greenfield-Central Cougars in a Hoosier Heritage Conference battle on Senior Night.
Pendleton Heights has dominated the series against Greenfield of late, winning the last six meetings by a combined score of 197-31. After a close first half, the Arabians were able to pull away to win 48-28 and run the streak to seven straight.
Greenfield has struggled this season, winning its opener over New Castle for the only victory of the year. But the Cougars struck early as a 12-play, 63-yard drive culminated in a 1-yard plunge into the end zone by tailback Cameron Nuckols.
The extra point was no good, giving Greenfield a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Pendleton Heights matched Greenfield with a 10-play, 63-yard drive to take a 7-6 lead after a quarterback sneak by Jesse Furrow with 2:32 left in the first quarter.
After the teams traded punts, Pendleton Heights was able to gain an advantage in field position, taking over at the Cougars' 38-yard line after stopping Greenfield inside the 20.
Chris Clemmons broke free on a toss sweep to the left side and ran for a touchdown on the first play of the possession. Payton Huth's extra point gave the Arabians a 14-6 lead with 9:53 left in the half.
Greenfield went on another long drive, this time going 71 yards in 8 plays with a 35-yard Nuckols run being a back breaker for Pendleton Heights. Quarterback Jeremiah Fields snuck in from the 1, and Nuckols ran in for 2 points to tie the game at 14.
Right before the half, several seniors combined to give the Arabians the lead again. Chandler Wilson and Eren Davis caught passes on the drive, Wilson's catch was a 22-yard gain to convert on third-and-17. Jim Arney got into the end zone after refusing to be stopped short at the 1. Huth added the extra point, and Pendleton Heights led 21-14 going into the half.

Bennington man accused of failing to comply with sex offender registryMarch 02,2013BENNINGTON — A Beech Street man is facing a felony charge after police said he failed to comply with the terms of the sex offender registry earlier this year.
Richard Pinsonneault, 31, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on a felony count of failing to comply with the sex offender registry for five consecutive days and a misdemeanor count of first offense of failing to comply with the sex offender registry.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro said Pinsonneault was obligated to comply with the sex offender registry based on a conviction for sexual assault in Bennington criminal court in April 2007.
Silvestro said Pinsonneault gave the Vermont Sex Offender Registry an address on Union Street in December but said he learned Jan. 24 from Bonnie Goode, coordinator of the registry, that Pinsonneault was no longer living at that address.
According to the affidavit, Pinsonneault admitted to Silvestro on Feb. 4 that he was no longer living on Union Street and had been living on Beech Street for more than two weeks.
Silvestro said that Pinsonneault told him during an interview at the Bennington Police Department on Feb. 5 that he "simply forgot to send the registry a change-of-address form."
Pinsonneault, who pleaded innocent Monday, was released without bail.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late... Full StoryA Rutland jury has returned a verdict in favor of a retired obstetrician and Rutland Regional... Full Story

It's sad that Ron Santo is not here with us to celebrate. So let's celebrate his life and career. He'd have enjoyed that.
Should Barry Bonds be elected to baseball's Hall of Fame? The answer here: no.
Which will the Hall choose: Expos or Cubs?
I haven't been around too much on BCB but I thought I'd share a recent post I put up in honor of the Hawks induction... It starts out like this: 1987 must really have been a more innocent time. Before steroids, when ball girls could wear shorts, when cigars could be smoked in the stands, when 47 home runs in a season was a remarkable achievement, before upwardly spiraling salaries created a gulf of money separating the fans from the stars they adored. Before there was an internet, there was a man named Andre. Read the rest here....
At last, Andre's in the Hall!

A 10 year project is set to have a major impact in the local economy in Bedford County and the town of Bedford.
Both the Harmony Town Center and the Army Reserve Center will take up about 70 acres of the property.
Although most of what you'll see is dirt now, Town Manager Charles Kolakowski is seeing beyond the grass for its potential which he says consists of "drug stores or retail stores or a movie theatre."
The plan for Harmony Town Center is to be one of the largest projects the town has seen in 30 years. It'll be a mixed use development of retail and residential.
The developer is now in talks with businesses like banks and hotel groups. It's something that will be needed too. The county estimates anywhere from 300 to 400 people will be visiting on the weekends when the Army Reserve Center opens in the fall.
"We're seeing some very positive signs right now we're started to get more and more phone calls from businesses ready to start investing," says Traci Blido, Director of Economic Development of Bedford County.
"There's a big demand for new and also different traditional family homes that predominate in the area," says Kolakowski. "The addition of the diverse housing will be a very positive development."

New Dorchester cinema preview tonight cancelled
3:51pm Wednesday 24th October 2012 in News
DORCHESTER'S new Odeon cinema will not be open tonight for a special preview screening because the building is not ready.
The cinema in Brewery Square was due to open its doors tonight for an exclusive preview screening of The Sapphires at 7.30pm.
The Dorset Echo carried a reader offer in today's edition offering free tickets. This offer is now cancelled and people are requested not to attend the cinema this evening.
The cinema is due to open to the general public on Friday and a charity screening of the new James Bond film Skyfall, which is sold out, will go ahead as planned tomorrow night.
A spokesman for Odeon Cinemas said: "Due to delayed building works, unfortunately Odeon Dorchester is unable to open for tonight's promotional screening of The Sapphires.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience and assure guests that the cinema will be opening on Friday as planned and a preview screening of The Sapphires will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
"During 7pm-7.30pm tonight a limited number of complimentary tickets will be offered to readers with the Dorset Echo voucher who arrive at the cinema unaware of the changes to the screening as compensation."

SPOKANE, Wash. - For the second time in the last few months, police officers are looking for a suspect in an armed robbery at a north Spokane pizza shop. The robbery happened just before 6 PM on Wednesday, in the 5500 Block of North Wall.
Spokane Police Lieutenant Dean Sprague says a man entered the Pizza Rita and brandished a weapon, demanding money. The robber was able to get away with an unknown amount of money and the employee tip jar.
One of the delivery drivers chased the masked man for a short distance until he turned around and pointed the gun back at him. Spokane Police set up a perimeter and used a K-9 to track the suspect. However, Police could not find him.
For two employees, this felt like deja vu all over again. Last october the exact same restaurant was also robbed by a man at gunpoint who also got away.
The owner of Pizza Rita, Bryan Dickmann, previously offered 100 pizzas and $1,000 for information related to the first burglary. Now he's offering a bigger piece of the pie, 200 pizzas and $2,000 to bring down the big cheese behind this armed robbery.

Shoulda had a cakePosted on 06 / 24 / 2014
Having arrived for lunch our eyes were bigger than our bellies and ordered three bagels to share between two. Oops. They were good, if a bit dry, and we were very fool. Having bypassed the counter on the way to a seat we didn't see the gorgeous looking cakes until we were leaving.
The place was quite sparse, and with little decoration it was quite loud, even with only a few other tables dining. But the staff were friendly and the food tasty.Pros: Bagels, Cakes
Cons: Interior decoration

A true "playa", is a male of virtually any age, who is spiritually advanced enough to accept himself, accept others, respect women, and generally leave the world a better place for him being here. This foundation allows him the freedom to enjoy his life to the max, to truly have fun...play...and since guys like girls playas have fun with that too, in a cool, decent, smooth kind of way
note: a "player" is the type of guy that doesn't really respect other people and doesn't really respect himself...so he sometimes has his "fun" at others' expense.

n. The way a nigger broda pronnounces the word "player". It refers to girls who use to engage in several (sexual) relationships at the same time; even though they have "steady" ones. The term seems to have a spanish origin. See also: tramp, slut.
Silvia is ugly, but she is such a playa.
