Grabbed a couple bottles of this from the Wellington & Bradley LCBO, as rumour has it that Grand River is axing Town Hall from their lineup. Pours a tawny bronze with golden hues and one finger of bubbly white head. Smell and taste are floral notes, cereal grains, toasted biscuit, caramel, a mild fruitiness, and some oats. Finishes with a very subdued, almost soapy hop bitterness and hints of wheat. Light-bodied mouthfeel is well carbonated, refreshing, a little watery, balanced dryness in the aftertaste. A flavourful and quaffable lager, but not the greatest beer from this brewery. Still, it's perfect if you want a tasty, low alcohol brew to session.

Part five of my Grand River Brewery sampler pack tour! Bottled a week ago, which is a novelty I'm quite enjoying.
Pours an orange-amber hue, leaves a thin white head, with a little bit encircling the glass. Lacing cascades up and down the glass as if it were a nitro-can pour. Great retention.
The smell is perhaps not this beer's strongest asset, but it's still fair, and more interesting than most local lagers, truth be told. Butter, fruit and leafiness, with a strange something in the background that's a bit off-putting. Can't quite nail it down.
The taste more than makes up for the nose, however. A rich, almost buttery lager, with some apple notes, and a little bit of hops. Very smooth, easy to drink - once again, hard to believe it's less than 4%. Finishes quickly with no discernible aftertaste. Not overly thin; nice to see a lager with a bit of meat to it.
I can see myself drinking several of these in an evening. A great sessional (given the ABV, probably a plus!). Yet to miss the mark with Grand River Brewery!

At the brewery-Deep orange/amber body, pours a frothed rocky bleached white cap. The lacing and retention are excellent. Fresh fruity aroma, green apples, green leafy hops, lots of sugary malts leading to a touch of orange peel. There's quite the balance in the flavour of subtle, off-dry malts, some fruit (pear, apple), some biscuit, with hearty doses of basil and leafy hops. Very refreshing, assertive, while at the same time being respectively "light". Another gem from this brewery!

Pours a light gold with a thin white head, some lacing.
Smells of oranges, buttery popcorn, like a sweet lager.
Very interesting taste, citrusy, a weird buttery taste that is actually quite good, some grassiness and a nice light hop finish, more sweet than hoppy.
Nice creamy mouthfeel and highly drinkable at only 3.9%

Poured (most of) this 500ml bottle into a tall pilsner and was rewarded with a dense sudsy head that had quite decent retention and left nice lacing on the glass. Small bubbles rising quickly throughout and a nice yellow-gold colour.
Smells nice if muted. Fresh, clean. Beer.
Taste was much more complex than the smell for me. Buttery creaminess followed by some citrus, a bit of sweetness, and then more bitter than I would have expected. Not really off-balance though...nice beer in summer for sure.
Mouthfeel is definitely good. It's medium-bodied and much less watery than I would have expected from a light beer.
These are quite drinkable...it goes down easy.
Overall, nice beer. I was surprised to see what style it's listed here as. I would still take the Creemore over this, but I'm happy to see this nice offering coming from so close to home.

Thanks Bobsy for the trade. Tasted on August 27, 2009. Bottled on august 4th, 2009.
Yellow to copper looking. No head but the beer is slightly hazy. The smell is strange... Difficult to get what I smell. The taste I would say I get cheese... some say it is butterscotch but I can't get it. My taste buds are messing with me, maybe. I'm not sure I like this to drink another one.

Bottled July 9th, purchased from the brewery and passed on to me by biegaman. Orange and gold colour, hazy, off-white head of one-half finger. Slow moving bubbles, sparse carbonation, ring. Sweet smell of tangerine, honey, apricot. Citrus fruit taste front and centre, tangerine, sweet peach, a bit of a tang going on there. Malt backbone is gentle and unassuming, smooth texture, ljight body. A bit gassy detracts from a really nice brew. Very flavourful for a lager. Another great sessional from Grand River Brewing, thanks Jan.

Thanks to Jan (biegaman) for tossing one of these my way. Served in a stange-like glass with a flared top - limited options at the in-laws. Bottled June 8th 2009, so it's super-fresh.
A - Two finges of dirty light blonde foam that dissipates fairly quickly with plenty of sticky lacing. Tons of bubbles on the sides of the glass that detach and zip to the top. Transparent golden orange color.
S - Plenty of caramel malt, a touch of honey, and some twangy lager yeast. There might be a touch of floral hops, but I could just be imagining this (hoping?). Pretty monochromatic smell, but not offensive or anything.
T - Taste is less interesting - barley, a bit of toffee and biscuit, and not much else. This might actually score better in the light lager category, clocking in at 3.9%. Finish is pretty clean, with no adjunct-y type flavors thanfully. As others have said, it's a solid no frills down-to-earth lager.
M - Lighter side of medium-bodied, with a touch of carbonation zing, and a smooth creamy texture. Nothing special, but thoroughly satisfactory.
D - At 3.9%, with moderate carbonation, this is an easy-to-drink brew. The 500ml serving size is just right for this one. It's not interesting enough for me to want to drink a growler on my own, but it'd be awesome to have during a ballgame or something.

A lovely marmalade spread with shimmering honey edges. The beer is spotlessly clear but isn't entirely without some misting bleariness. Its colour glows and its complexion is clean but its surface is bare and desolate. What is otherwise a healthy looking beer badly needs some white extensions at the top, this is without even a strand.
The brewery brags about this beer having "full flavour", "lots of flavour" and a "rich malt body". They don't do the same bragging about its aroma and the reason why is plainly obvious: there really isn't much of one. With enough swirling and some stretch of the imagination I can detect a very mild floral type component, very honeysuckle like.
I'd say those claims about the flavour are wholly exaggerated as well. As it smells, this tastes quite mild. There's a touch of bread, some grassy herbs, sweet and toasty cereal grain and again, perhaps, a honeysuckle like floral note. But hey, if you want a ton of flavour don't go looking for it in a 3.9% lager! (Look for it in this brewery's 3.5% mild ale!)
I wouldn't say that it's the "lots of flavour and body that separates it from the rest." What separates this from other lagers is that it's well crafted. You're darn tootin' this is "an easy drinking lager with a difference". This is a throw to a time before adjuncts and chemicals. The beer is clean and tastes like down-to-earth, good old fashion tried and true beer.
As with the other Grand River beers I've had, warming seems to do only good. Much more hop and malt flavour comes out. I think that's further testament not only to the quality of the ingredients but the skill of the brewmaster as well. Brewing beers this light and low in alcohol does not allow much room for error. This lager may be plain but it's well made.
I've tried most of the Grand River lineup now and can honestly say I'd love to have any of them on-tap in the house. (And I'm fortunate enough to usually find them on-tap when I'm out of the house.) Town Hall Lager wouldn't come from me as highly recommended as the other offerings, but if you enjoy one Grand River beer you'd probably enjoy them all.

Big thanks to grub for sharing this one on brewday.
Pours a clear dark golden amber, some orange in the edges, medium sized white head forms, quite thick, settles to a thin layer and thick ring, nice lacing sticks to the glass, good retention. Smell is nice, very clean, lightly buttery, lots of bread and biscuit, toast, touch of caramel, light citrus and fruitiness, some lemony acidity and sourness. Taste is similar, buttery at first, very malty, lightly fruity and herbal, toast and biscuit, caramel, orange peel, nice solid bitterness in the finish, lots of flavour for such a low ABV. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation, very refreshing. Might have to get a keg of this for the summer. Grand River does some great lagers. Thanks Russ!

500ml bottle purchased at the brewery. sampled march 28/09.
pours deep amber, nearly orange, and crystal clear except for when i reached the bottom of the bottle. a small fairly dense pure white head forms, dropping fairly fast but leaving spotty lace.
aroma is nice. white bread. corn. touch of grain. bit of cracker. actually, cornbread comes quickly to mind. hint of dms. bit of alcohol. hint of caramel. woody and earthy hops.
taste is good. white bread. cracker. light butterscotch and caramel. just a hint of alcohol. bit of earthy and floral hops. pretty crisp and fresh overall.
mouthfeel is good. medium-light body. medium carbonation level.
drinkability is good. great balance. a nice lager that i'd be happy to have on tap and sip pitchers of it on the patio this summer. i just might have to do that...

Bottle courtesy of Derek: Poured a clear dirty golden color lager with a good size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of medium sweet malt with some light floral notes. Taste is also a mix between some medium sweet and lightly floral malt with some light dry crisp hops. Body is quite full for the style with some great carbonation. Well done for the style but a little more crisp hops would have elevated this to a great status.

Nice light amber colour with a finger of smooth white head, that left a bit of lacing on the way down. Malty aroma - biscuit, bread and earth, as well as some grass. The flavour was a revelation for me, and definitely one of the better lagers I have tried. The malt profile was far more prominent than I expected, lending this low ABV beer a big body. Lots of biscuit flavours going on, as well as some toffee. The sweetness is prefectly balanced by an assertive bitterness, and this is what really sets this beer apart for me. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth...almost buttery. Lower ABV, superb balance and excellent flavour make the sessionability enormous.
Huge thanks to Derek for the bottle. I had held back from ordering this on tap, but I won't in the future.

Pours a clear dark gold with a thick head of white foam. Malty and grassy notes immediately waft forth from the glass. There's a hint of husky grain in there as well. Substantial mouthfeel isn't too light, and works well with the big husky grain and sharp grassy hop. Very clean with an appropriate lingering bitterness. Carbonation is fairly low (which I like), and the head recedes slowly, leaving rings of lace. Very solid, very drinkable lager. Sessionable and well balanced.

On-tap at the brewery. Good natural bitterness from the very hard local water, according to the brewer Bob whom is among the ebs active brewers in the province. Some good lacing and smooth mouthfeel. Great confluence of factors for a good drinking lager.

Served from a 64fl growler into a pint glass.
A- Clear amber/red in color with moderate head settling down leaving a ring around the glass. Decent lacing. Retention.
S- Nice and malty with good grassy hop aromas, and some fruit in the nose as well.
T- Decent malt profile up front countered by a solid bittering hop ( not nearly as bold as the Ploughman ) but the malt/hop balance is excellent. Some citrus was also present. Fairly earthy, and slightly dry in the finish.
M- medium bodied and smooth with nice carbonation and decent hop acidity.
D- the low abv% make this beer incredibly drinkable.
Overall one of my favorite session lagers. Very enjoyable, easy drinking, and highly recommended

Growler from the brewery. Very impressive for its weight.
A: Clear copper-bronze with a white head, some retention & lacing.
S: Aroma of grassy, metallic/minerally hops, grainy/biscuity malt, toffee, nuts and a appricot fruityness.
T: Flavours of earthy-orange, metallic hops, with a little nutshell bitterness and woody spicyness. Caramel malts with a little nuttyness and a slightly buttery diacetyl round out the flavour. Good bitterness.
M: Moderate body has a light sweetness and a crisp finish.
D: Very drinkable.

Growler fresh from the brewery. The pour produces a deep gold-amber, clear lager with a massive tight-pored frothy cap which lasts and laces the glass.
Sturdy aromas of pale and toasted malt...some .light whisps of hay.
Medium body, hard mineral mouth feel, malty-hop forward character.
Rich malt mixture in the front gets balanced and lightly over taken by more aggressive bittering hops. Lightly dry finish...bready after taste.
A lighter ABV session lager from this brewer that has substantially more flavor than most light lagers.... it is somewhat better balanced than the Galt Knife lager and the hop astringency in the finish does not wipe out the malty after taste expected in a fresh lager. A well made malty summer lager which I like better than the other GRB lager. It also has that signature sharp bite to it as other GRB brews but not as intense. Perhaps the local water is just too hard for a smooth soft lager....then again a lager with sharp "bite" to it is a pleasant change.

Got this in a growler from the brewery. Poured a nice amber with a head that dissipated to a ring around the glass, lots of lacing. Smell is malty, some hops there, not as aggressive as their Plowmans ale. Flavor is smooth and malty, with a hoppy bite in the finish. The balance of this brew is quite remarkable. Flavor balance is just right and alcohol is low making this another very easy session beer from this great brewery.
Thumbs up to Bob for another great offering.

News: Azealia Banks Sprays Disses: "All That F*cking & Sucking, N*ggas STILL Won't Write You A Verse!!!"
Wednesday, Mar 6, 2013 11:55AM
New York hip-hop artist Azealia Banks has once again raised eyebrows over dicey comments, taking direct aim at an unnamed female this week.
Banks hopped onto her Twitter page last night (March 5) to blast a certain lady but would not specify who.
"Tried to take more than you were being offered and got your hand cut off!!," she tweeted.
"IM TOO DIVA FOR THIS SH*T! *yanks wig off* *flips over make-up table* *storms off*"
"LOL I feel like every label with a new female rapper says start drama with Azealia Banks"
"Like these b*tches know they have no wins otherwise.... So they try and antagonize me. LMFAOOO"
"They try and make me look like the angry black girl ... When I'm actually HEAD NEGRESS."
"These b*tches giving up their p*ssy and have nothing to show for it!!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO"
"All that f*cking and sucking, n*ggas STILLL won't even write you a verse !!!! LMFAOOOO" (Azealia Banks' Twitter)
Some websites have already started to speculate who Banks took aim at.
A potential candidate would be UK rapper Shystie, whose video for "Control It," featuring Azealia, was released on Sunday and subsequently taken down the following day. Azealia expressed her feelings about the video on Twitter, saying that she did not feel it because it was unoriginal and rushed. However, Shystie herself has not said anything publicly in response. (Complex)
A few days ago, Grand Hustle affiliate Iggy Azalea called out Banks for dissing her last year.
She first calls out Azealia for saying that she is 'seriously trivialising aspects of black culture', and then adds that nothing Azealia says is to be trusted, continuing, "She says that **** about ****ing anything. She called Perez Hilton a ******, I think she trivialised gay culture... ****ing whatever. She's biased about everybody and everything, even towards the people who help her." She adds, "She even talked **** about the fashion industry after they basically gave her a career. I don't think anything about that girl man, she ****ing talks **** out of her arse and that's her business." (Fans Share)
Last summer, Azealia admitted she did not like resorting to Twitter to air out her personal issues.
"Of course, because it's e-thugging... Who wants to look like that? But how else am I gonna reach y'all? I don't have a T.I. to get on a radio show and defend me; I'm the one behind me. Y'all expect me to agree like, "Oh yea, I'm wack. I only have one song." That's one song y'all n*ggas don't f*cking have. You might win some, but you just lost one." (VIBE)

It is an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition for millions of men called Gynocomastia, the scientific name for enlarged breasts in men. It can be genetic, hormonal, or it can be caused by obesity or certain drugs like steroids. Just like some women undergo breast reduction surgery, men are learning that it can be the perfect solution for them as well.
In most cases, all it takes is liposuction to remove the fatty tissue in the breasts. Sometimes, if the glands are enlarged, the surgery is a little more extensive.
Dr. Mauro Romita, cosmetic surgeon, says there is a significant medical reason to eliminate active glandular tissue. If there is a significant amount, the incidence of breast cancer is certainly there. It is less than in women because they don't have the same volume of estrogen, but it's still a potential risk.
Plastic surgeons here in Lubbock tell me that more and more men are coming in for breast reduction surgery. Insurance is likely to cover it if the glands are enlarged and there is a medical risk. The cost is from $4,000 to $5,000, or more if liposuction is needed.

The website to make hazelnut butter is spelled wrong and even when you correct it, it doesn't go anywhere
Absolutely fabulous. Went over well with the entire family

Extravaganza will slow traffic
Motorists will encounter slow or stopped traffic on both directions of Highway 371 between Brainerd and Nisswa as the road is reduced to a single lane and flaggers control traffic from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19.
Minnesota Department of Transportation officials said the closures are needed to accommodate increased traffic and shuttle busses for the Ice Fishing Extravaganza on Hole-in-the-Day Bay on Gull Lake.

CES 08: Peavey Unveils RiffMaster™ Guitar controller for PS2® Videogames
January 7, 2008
LAS VEGAS (CES) — Musical-instrument and sound-equipment innovator Peavey proudly introduces the AG RiffMaster™ Guitar Controller, a genuine life-size Peavey guitar modified for play with guitar-based music videogames on the Playstation®2 computer entertainment system. The Peavey AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller features the sleek finish, dimensions and feel of a real Peavey guitar, providing a truly authentic music videogame experience. Crafted from natural maple, the neck features five colored fret buttons located among real frets and position markers on a genuine rosewood fretboard. The strum bar is strategically placed above the pickup and allows players to transfer smoothly from note to chord without missing a beat, while the whammy bar features a smooth, sturdy spring. The guitar strings have been removed, but the headstock of the AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller has real tuners for extra visual appeal. Using the same patented ArtGuitar® printing system that applies custom images and graphics to real guitars in the Peavey Custom Shop (www.peaveycustomshop.com), the Peavey AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller brings exclusive artist designs to a guitar controller for the first time. The guitar controllers showcase 11 exclusive artwork designs, including iconic rock artists such as KISS, Pantera, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy Osbourne and Megadeth. Gamers will soon be able to upload their custom graphics to the Peavey Custom Shop and design their own one-of-a-kind AG RiffMaster Guitar Controllers. Unlike other custom paint jobs, the ArtGuitar image lasts as long as the guitar because it is painted on using a quality finish that contains the same properties as the original paint on the guitar, and is followed by a professional clear coat and buffing by luthiers in the Peavey Custom Shop.

Find the perfect retirement home of your dreams right here!
55+ Developments & Communities of the Boise Area
Be sure to read these articles discussing the benefits of retiring in Boise.
Money Magazine Best Retirement Spots Best Place to Retire
For more details about the Boise area, visit my web site where
you will find an overview of the area with its many features.
The Boise Metro Area of Southwest Idaho incorporates the cities of Boise, Idaho; Meridian, Idaho; Garden City, Idaho; Eagle, Idaho; Star, Idaho; Nampa, Idaho; Kuna, Idaho; Middleton, Idaho and Emmett, Idaho.
While Idaho's Capital City, Boise, is the hub of the area, much growth has spread to its west and south. Incorporated within this spread we find many retirement communities, often referred to as 55+ communities or senior developments.
These Boise area retirement developments are designed with the purpose of serving the needs of those who have reached retirement or are approaching retirement age. Typically, these areas are considered 55+ communities and at least one resident of the home must be at least 55-years old.
The theme of a 55+ retirement community in Boise is that of a well maintained, safe, quite neighborhood. Many are gated communities and in the evenings the gates are shut, allowing only those with gate codes access to the retirement development. This feature provides the obvious benefit of keeping the area safer, but also discourages door-to-door solicitation and unwanted traffic.
Retirement communities in the Boise Metro Area range from complete assisted living, partial assisted living to complete independent living. Many of the retirement developments include irrigation water and lawn mowing as part of the home owner association dues. Maintaining the appearance of the neighborhood is essential to all Idaho retirement communities. Some have volunteers who will maintain some of the common area by assuming responsibility for planting and caring of flower beds, trimming of bushes and other similar tasks. This feature permits the retirement community to minimize its expenses while enabling its residents to become actively involved with the care and well being of their home surroundings.
The Boise Metro Area offers many outside activities for its residents. Fishing, boating, hiking, golf, skiing, hunting, tennis, white water rafting… just to name a few. There are many movie theaters, stage productions, the ballet, museums, art galleries, the Boise Philharmonic and numerous historical sites to visit. For sports enthusiasts, we have the renowned Boise State Broncos football team and the Idaho Steelheads Hockey team.
If you still have some time left over, you can volunteer to participate in any number of rewarding activities ranging from Meal-On-Wheels to helping at the Red Cross. There is never an excuse for not having something to do in the Boise Metro Area.
Retiring to any one of the many Boise area senior developments can prove to be an enlightening experience for anyone moving from out of state. The cost of living is reasonable, the people are nice, the roads are well maintained, most of the area is very new, shopping is plentiful and the weather is moderate.

J.D. Powers and Associates, well-known for its car reviews and ratings, has been studying consumer's satisfaction with their health plans.
Member Satisfaction Issues
In the most recent survey, the company measured member satisfaction among 131 health plans throughout the U.S. Health plan members were asked to rank their plans on several important issues: coverage and benefits; choice of providers; how well the plan communicates; claims processing; customer service; and approval processes.
Size Matters
The most recent study, completed in 2009, found that people working for small employers (50 employees or fewer) are less likely to be satisfied with their health plan than those working for larger companies.
And, people working for larger companies are more likely to re-enroll and recommend their health plan to coworkers and others, compared with health plan members working for small companies.
The Health Plans with the Highest Customer Satisfaction
According to the survey, the following health plans ranked highest in customer satisfaction: (note - listed in alphabetical order)
- Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kentucky
- BlueCross and BlueShield of Alabama
- BlueCross BlueShield of Arizona
- BlueCross BlueShield of Florida
- BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois
- BlueCross BlueShield of Nebraska
- Dean Health Insurance
- Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
- Health Alliance Plan (HAP)
- Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield
- HIP Health Plan of New York
- Humana
- Kaiser Foundation Health Plan
- Medical Mutual of Ohio
Check out the complete list.
It's important to note that these ratings are based on feedback from customers and do not reflect an objective outside evaluation of the quality of care provided by health plans. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is a not-for-profit organization that reviews and accredits health plans. The NCQA "stamp of approval" is a reliable indicator that a health plan is well-managed and delivers high quality care and service.

I think it is also important to talk to your friends and family about their experiences and satisfaction with the health insurance that they own.
- February 13, 2010 at 4:49 pm(2) InsuranceDog says:
I have been looking at your posts on about and you have lots of useful content…
Insurance is without question difficult to understand and people must be thorough and read every detail. It can be difficult to find websites you can believe, and it is nice for most people, and me, to find find correct information. Annoyed by the lack of "accurate" information, I began InsuranceWatch.org – a blog that looks for good tips, web sites and other resources on all varieties of insurance.
I will be adding your blog to my resources & links page on my blog. If that is acceptable? If not, simply visit my website and email me (use my contact us form) to have the link taken down.

Thanks InsuranceDog:
I agree that insurance, especially health insurance can be complicated and often frustrating. The more accurate and easy-to-understand information out there, the better!
- February 19, 2010 at 2:38 pm(4) customer ratings says:
You're right, figuring out which health plan best fits your needs is a hassle. No one want to pick the wrong plan for them. That's why costumer reviews is very important. It gives you a little bit more reassurance, and you'll know what you're getting yourself into.

It's a bird's eye view not many people get to see. Marshfield's Rotary Winter Wonderland from the seat of a Cessna 172.
The trip, called the Holiday Lights Flight, is offered by the Marshfield Municipal Airport.
"Over a million lights on at Wildwood Park is...it lights it up pretty good that's for sure," pilot Tyler Stargardt said.
Stargardt is a Marshfield native. He can still remember the first time he flew in a small plane for a night flight just like this one.
"We went up for the night flight, he said if you want to have the controls for a bit you can and we flew around and I've been hooked ever since."
Now, he takes others up into the sky for a great view of the holiday lights in Marshfield.
It's an amazing view, especially now that all the holiday lights are shining brightly.
"A lot of people see the lights from the ground they don't see them from the air so it just gives them a whole new perspective," Assistant Airport Manager Jeff Gaier said.
The ride costs $60 and flights are offered every weekend in December.

The draft is rapidly approaching, and with the draft comes massive draft speculation. So I've once again taken the time to look over 7 NFL Draft prospects and see how they perform.
Today, I will be analyzing DE/DT Fletcher Cox (Mississippi State), LB's Melvin Ingram (South Carolina), Donta Hightower (Alabama), Vontaze Burfict (Arizona State) and Mychal Kendricks (California), NT Alameda Ta'Amu (Washington), RB Robert Turbin (Utah State), and OL Rokevious Watkins (South Carolina). Without further ado, Fletcher Cox.
Fletcher Cox
via a.espncdn.com
Background Information: 6'4, 298 pounds. Widely considered the best DT prospect in this draft. Most all-around DT in this draft.
Opponent: Mississippi, guard Matt Hall and tackle Bobbie Massie.
Play 1: Sealed off as the back goes off LT, far away from Cox. 9 Yard gain.
Play 2: Takes up the guard, center and fullback. Linebacker makes the stop at the LOS.
Play 3: Shoots the wrong gap and gets shoved out of the way. Ole Miss hands it off to the back who picks up the first down.
Play 4: Blocked by both the center and guard, but pushes them back despite the double-team. Narrows the running lane for the back and the linebacker makes the stop for a 2 yard gain.
Play 5: Very good jump, shoots the gap low and hard. Gets held pretty noticeably, no call however. Pass completed for 7 yards.
Play 6: Great showing. Bursts right through the gap and swims past the center. The back tries to run away for a first down but is caught by Cox from behind for a 3 yard loss.
Play 7: Gets in on the tackle but the RB shows "Lynch-like" effort and shoves the pile back like 5 yards, then gets out of the pile and goes 4 more yards. Very nice showing by Brandon Bolden, if anything.
Play 8: Gets good jump off the ball, but isn't fast enough and the RT reacts quickly and seals him off.
Play 9: Delivers a solid punch to the guard, and it's enough to make him hesitate as Cox swims right passed him. QB is forced to throw incomplete.
Play 10: Takes on the blocks of the guard and center, but shoots the gap between them low and hard. Forces the QB to toss it away.
Play 11: Utilizes a no-nonsense bullrush, and gets great pressure. Gets in on the sack along with the DE.
Play 12: 4th and 5, rips past the guard but isn't strong enough to get too much movement. Gets some interior pressure and the QB tosses it to his checkdown who is stopped behind the line.
Overall Analysis: Showed very good quickness and use of leverage, along with great pursuit. He's not quite as big as Brockers or aggressive as Still, but has great balance and leg drive to fight through blocks along with quick hands to knock blockers around. Gotta say, I do like Still better but I wouldn't mind Cox.
NFL Comparison: Neil Smith.
Rokevius Watkins
Background Information: Don't doubt me Ups, I'll get my footage.
6'4, 345 pounds, looks closer to 400 pounds. He's an absolute mammoth and known emotional leader in the Gamecocks locker room. Can play both guard and RT. Looks like he has a lot of excess fat on him, but I think the Cowboy Collar just adds 10 pounds.
Opponent: Clemson, defensive end Andre Branch. Watkins starts at LT.
Play 1: DE gets the jump off the line, but Watkins reacts pretty fast and delivers a nasty punch. Back goes off RT for 5 yards.
Play 2: Takes a hold of the DE and flips him around, then pushes him back away from the runner. Back goes for 7 yards off of LT.
Play 3: Double teams with the guard and knocks the DT off the ball. Back goes for 4 yards off LT.
Play 4: Great, great (yet slightly disturbing) showing of his physicality and mean streak. Gets a great jump off the ball and stands up the DE. Then flips him over onto the ground and as the defender is attempting to get back up, Watkins delivers another hit to his head and lays on top of him to wear him down. Run of 2 off LT.
Play 5: DE tries to slant in, but Watkins is actually pretty quick to react and covers it. DE tries to spin around the other way but Watkins isn't fooled.The QB sees the running lane between Watkins and the guard and takes off for a 24 yard gain. First down.
Play 6: DE tries to shoot straight upfield, and Watkins shows relatively quick feet and throws him far backwards, using his momentum against him. QB has a large pocket and completes the pass to a TE for the first down.
Play 7: Chips the stunting DE into the guard, and turns around to see a blitzing CB. The corner tries to make a move on him and advance but Watkins throws a shoulder into him and knocks him to the ground. Incomplete pass to the endzone.
Play 8: Doesn't react very quickly and the DE shoots straight upfield past him. He knocks him off his route but the QB is still forced to step up into the pocket. The QB then decides to scramble off LT for 2 yards.
Play 9: Weird play that seemed to be executed unproperly. The DE shoots up field, but neither the LT or TE attempt to engage him, which makes me feel like that wasn't there responsibility. Nevertheless, a very weak block attempt by the RB doesn't derail the rush and the QB gets sacked. Field goal.
Play 10: Engages the DE and pushes him back, 5 yard gain up the gut right side.
Play 11: Doesn't get a good jump off the snap at all, but sheer girth stops the bullrush and he gets under the DE and drives him back. 6 yard gain off LT.
Play 12: Explodes off the ball and delivers a big hit to the DE off the snap. He takes advantage of the off-balance DE and drives him back. He then says something inaudible and the two get into a bit of a scuffle. Gain of 2.
Play 13: Gets under the DE despite a bad jump off the snap, and maneuvers him away from the QB draw off LG. 7 yards, first down.
Play 14: Double-teamed with the guard against the DT to knock him away, then absolutely PANCAKES a linebacker. The two exchange words, but nothing becomes of it. Gain of 5.
Play 15: Absorbs the hit by the blitzing linebacker and punches him off the ball. Incomplete pass.
Play 16: DE explodes off the ball and gets around Watkins, but Watkins pushes him away so he loses his balance and can't get to the QB. TD pass over the middle.
Overall analysis: Not gonna lie, he impressed me. He's rough, tough, nasty and plays with a bad disposition. He seems to enjoy abusing defenders and always is looking to knock someone's block off. He has naturally great upper body strength and leg power, along with a thick, broad frame. He showed that he can get great leverage. All his scouting reports say he struggles against speed rushers, but Andre Branch is about as speedy as it gets and Watkins had a great game against him. Two knocks on him are that he sometimes really failed to get off the ball quickly and has a quick temper that doesn't take much to ignite. As a 7th rounder or UDFA, I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him.
NFL Comparison: Jason Peters/Leonard Davis.
Alameda Ta'Amu
Background Information: 6'3, 346 pounds. Considered the best pure NT prospect in the draft, and one of the most popular 2nd round picks for Kansas City. Had the honor of being manhandled by David DeCastro (but who isn't?).
Opponent: Baylor, guard Cameron Kaufhold and center Phillip Blake.
Play 1: Doesn't rush, just holds his ground. Keeps the receiver from getting any yards on the end around.
Play 2: Double-teamed and the he doesn't get much push. QB is hit by another defender but the QB completes a 25 yard pass.
Play 3: Gets passed the guard and disrupts the play in the backfield, RB runs into the guard coming back to block Ta'Amu and falls down at the LOS.
Play 4: Tries to use a swim move but isn't fast enough as the center comes in to chip him. Incomplete pass.
Play 5: Pushes two blockers back into the pocket, but the QB floats the pass to a TE for the first down.
Play 6: Fooled by the play action and hits the RB, thus getting blocked. 3 yard completion.
Play 7: Pushes over the guard and bullrushes the center back into the QB, but the QB gets the pass off for the first down.
Play 8: Stonewalled but sorta swats the pass and makes it wobble. First down pass, however.
Play 9: Fights right passed the double team by shooting the gap quickly, and causes the back to bounce the run outside for a 3 yard gain.
Play 10: QB draw, but Alameda isn't fooled and clobbers him at the LOS.
Play 11: Shoots the gap and DE hits the QB as the ball is thrown for close to a first down.
Play 12: Is sealed off on short yardage and the RB picks up a first down.
Play 13: Doesn't get much pressure as he is double-teamed. QB throws a TD pass.
Overall Analysis: Did what was asked of him. Took up blockers and was double-teamed for most of the game. Allowed defenders around him to make plays and made a few of his own. Decent showing. Wouldn't mind giving him a shot, his play was very Wilfork-esque.
NFL Comparison: Vince Wilfork.
Melvin Ingram
Background Information: 6'2, 276 pounds. Considered arguably the best pass rusher in this draft (10 sacks in 2011), but has been projected as an ILB and even wildcat runner (ran back a fake punt against Georgia for 63 yards, breaking 3 tackles along the way and outrunning the entire special teams unit. Played QB in highschool) Just saying, I'd love him taking a few handoffs...
Opponent: Nebraska, offensive tackle Jermarcus Hardrick.
Play 1: Knocked off the ball considerably. 1 yard gain.
Play 2: Gets good burst off the line. Goes around the corner fast but the QB throws it to the back who gets a first down and more.
Play 3: Gets off the ball quickly but stumbles when punched and trips over himself. QB throws a TD pass.
Play 4: Doesn't get good jump off the snap but explodes around the edge. Incomplete pass.
Play 5: Tries to blitz straight upfield, but is thrown away from the ball. 10 yard run.
Play 6: Rips straight past the tackle and gets in on the tackle for a two yard loss.
Play 7: Blitzes between the guard and center from an ILB-like position. Gets passed the double-team but fails to chase down the QB.
Play 8: Sealed off, 9 yard running gain by the back.
Play 9: Cut blocked, trips and falls. 9 yard gain by the QB.
Play 10: Cut at the 1-yard line, TD run by the back.
Overall analysis: Definitely not his best showing, but it was still decent. Didn't show great strength against the rush but did get some pressure on the outside and up the gut. He's a good athlete and even has some talent on the offense. If we picked him I probably wouldn't flip out but I'd be ok with it.
NFL Comparison: John Abraham.
Robert Turbin
via bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com
Background Information: 5'10, 228 pounds. He's one of my favorite players in this draft, and if you don't like him and are sick of me talking about him you're gonna have to either skip this or grin and bear it. He's had back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons. His 6.9 YPC ties him with Trent Richardson for highest in the nation. Massive arms and powerful lower body. Has shown explosion with run of 80 and 96 yards. Think T-Rich in style and stature, but in a weaker conference.
Opponent: New Mexico State.
Play 1: Play-action to Turbin, and he blocks a linebacker. 5 Yard gain on a QB scramble.
Play 2: Is covered by the corner in the flats, QB throws it away.
Play 3: Turbin gets the handoff, and New Mexico blitzes. He powers through one tackle behind the LOS, but is piled on at the LOS.
Play 4: Squares up a blitzing defender and stops him in his tracks. QB throws a 30 yard pass.
Play 5: Takes the handoff and runs into traffic. Pumps his legs and runs through a few arm tackles for a 3 yard gain.
Play 6: Goes out for the pas, wide open but the QB opts for another pass. Incomplete.
Play 7: Gets the pitch but is swarmed along the sideline. Doesn't get the first down despite his best efforts.
Play 8: Takes the handoff, runs over a DB for a gain of 3.
Play 9: Guard misses his block, but Turbin locks up with the DL and shoves him back for 4 yards.
Play 10: Another handoff, meets the linebacker in the hole and drags him and pushes another backer back for 6 yards. First down.
Play 11: DE totally gets passed the RT and upends Turbin at the LOS.
Play 12: Muscles his way through the ILB and drags tacklers down to the 5.
Play 13: Pitches to the right and dives over the DB for the 1st down.
Overall Analysis: Not the best showing by Turbin and especially not his O-line. He was constantly getting hit in the backfield and having to shake off tacklers at the LOS. Statistically, it was one of his worst games of the season, 98 yards on 23 carries. But I think his pure physical ability should warrant him at least a 4th rounder. He had arguably the best combine for a back this year, and I can see him becoming a 1,400 yard back in the NFL behind the right line, and I would like that line to be ours. Especially since he could be available for a 4th round pick, not a lot of risk involved and a very high reward.
NFL Comparison: Arian Foster.
Donta Hightower
Overall Analysis: 6'3, 261 pound ILB. One of the more popular 2nd rounders on AP. Very solid contributor on one of the best run-stopping defenses of the decade. Considered the best pure SILB prospect in the draft because he's willing to take on blockers and is a powerful hitter.
Opponent: LSU.
Play 1: Walled off from the play, 3 yard gain.
Play 2: Short pass out of the backfield, nails the receiver and gets in on the tackle for a 6 yard gain.
Play 3: Blitzes up the gut and pushes the center backwards, but the QB fumbles the snap. Punt.
Play 4: Takes on the fullback in the hole and doesn't leave much room for the run. OLB makes the tackle unblocked for a 1 yard loss.
Play 5: Flows to the pitch but the OLB makes the tackle before he gets there. 2 yard gain.
Play 6: Harasses the TE at the LOS, and covers him well. QB throws incomplete. Punt.
Play 7: Takes on the blocks of the tackle and TE as he tries to blitz off the edge. DE gets pressure and the QB throws it away.
Play 8: Pitch to the right, Hightower is around the ball when the tackle is made for a 7 yard gain.
Play 9: Runs to the ball and makes the hit along the sideline, 4 yard gain, first down.
Play 10: ALMOST intercepts the ball, but drops it.
Overall analysis: He shows no fear, and is more than willing to lay into bigger, stronger linemen for the good of the team. He's an intimidating hitter with underrrated coverage skills as well. I wouldn't want him at 11, but if we traded up or got him in the 2nd I definitely wouldn't complain.
NFL comparison: Jeremiah Trotter.
Mychal Kendricks
via api.ning.com
Background information: 5'11, 243 pounds. Often considered to be too short to play in the NFL, but has good instincts and is a tackling machine. According to Ups (I think) he had pretty bad Wonderlic. But who knows, he could be a decent 3rd-4th round pick.
Opponent: Arizona State.
Play 1: RB is tackled behind the LOS and Kendricks just kind of runs to the ball.
Play 2: Blitzes up the gut, but is stopped by the center and the back bounces it to the outside for a 14 yard gain.
Play 3: Avoids the blocker and gets around the edge to make the tackle at the LOS.
Play 4: Hesitates on the play-action and tries to blitz but gets picked up. 11 yard completion, first down.
Play 5: Reads the QB's eyes and gets in on the tackle along the sideline for an 8 yard gain.
Play 6: Gets shoved off the ball, RB gets a 3 yard carry and a first down.
Play 7: Shows good leg drive and fights through the block to narrow the running lane. 5 yard gain.
Play 8: Blitzes off the edge, but the back runs up the gut. 4 yard gain.
Play 9: Covers the TE, but kind of misses the tackle when the QB scrambles. 17 yard gain, first down.
Play 10: Great showing of instincts, up the gut run, big hole should get the TD but Kendricks rips passed the blocker and hits the back with a good form tackle in the backfield allowing no YAC.
Play 11: Dives into the hole but is knocked around by the fullback. RB run for a TD.
Play 12: Another GREAT showing. RB looks like he's gonna get a big gain, but the ball is knocked out and Kendricks picks it up. Breaks a few tackles and returns it for 29 yards.
Overall analysis: Great showing of instincts and skill. His short, stocky frame doesn't hold him back and he is always in on the tackle or around the ball. Hard to block because he's so short and is pretty tough to get away from when he's tackling the ballcarrier. I'd sure take a chance on him.
NFL comparison: Curtis Lofton.
And everyone's favorite, Vontaze Burfict.
Background information: 6'3, 253 pound ILB. Before this season was considered one of the best defensive prospects to appear in this draft, but a weak 2011 season and TERRIBLE Combine and interviews have caused his stock to fall about as rapidly as stock has ever fallen. He has a bad temper, no great effort shown, but he only warrents a 5th round pick at best by any team because of his intimidating, hard-hitting style and supposed good instincts. Let's see if he's worth anything besides an UDFA pickup.
Opponent: California.
Play 1: Runs to the ball where the tackle has already been made. For whatever reason he is angered by a receiver blocking a teammate slightly after the whistle and shoves him down.
Play 2: Blitzes on the edge and actually swims past the RT and bullrushes the RB back into the QB, but the ball is thrown away to a receiver for a 27 yard gain.
Play 3: Takes up the block by the tackle and holds his ground, forcing the RB into his blockers back and allowing teammates to make the tackle for a 3 yard gain. Angered at the guard still blocking him and throws a punch, and teammates have to calm him down and drag him away.
Play 4: Hesitates on covering the TE, but starts to when the QB looks back. QB throws out of bounds.
Play 5: Gets in on the tackle for a 4 yard pass.
Play 6: RB runs up the gut and Burfict hits him and doesn't allow any YAC, 1 yard gain and punt.
Play 7: Pitch to the left, is hit from behind from the LG and gets into it with him, but little does he know the RB has reversed field. Vontaze goes after him but the RT cracks back on him and Burfict is obliterated. 11 yard gain by the RB.
Play 8: Falls for the play-action and the TE gets behind him, but sprints to make up for it. QB tries to go deep and fails.
Play 9: Burfict's famed bullrush fails on a blitz up the gut, and he bounces off of the RG. QB scrambles off LT for 15 yards.
Play 10: QB throws a TERRIBLE pass and Vontaze doesn't get to do anything.
Play 11: Covers the TE for a while, but a receiver makes a catch along the sideline. Doesn't give too much effort to make the tackle , 11 yard gain.
Play 12: Gets cut by the LG and he yells at him, but it works and the RB scurries for a TD.
Play 13: Bumps a receiver at the LOS and knocks him off his route too much for the QB to consider him. Pass interference on the 1 yard line.
Play 14: Engulfed by the line and QB scrambles for a TD.
Overall analysis: Burfict has... quite the temper. He was constantly mouthing off to opposing players, referees and his own teammates. As far as play goes he had some good plays and bad plays, mediocre showing. If the Chiefs picked him in the 5th or 6th, he wouldn't be my first choice but I probably wouldn't complain, as I think he could evolve into a great LB with some work.

JERREY ROBERTS Cady Lalanne, left, of the University of Massachusetts, shoots against LaDontae Hinton, of Providence, Saturday at the Mullins Center.
AMHERST — Derrick Gordon thought Trey Davis was going to be the hero in overtime.
When Davis, a sophomore point guard for the University of Massachusetts, released his floater against Providence with three seconds left in a tied game, Gordon thought it was going in.
But the sophomore guard crashed the boards anyway and was waiting when the ball bounced off the back rim right into his hands. Gordon put it back in as the No. 23 ranked Minutemen beat the Friars 69-67, at the Mullins Center Saturday night.
"I'm fortunate it went my way," Gordon said. "Everybody crashed the boards, I just happened to be the one that came up with it."
UMass won without Chaz Williams as the all-conference point guard fouled out late in regulation, forcing Davis to handle the ball. Bryce Cotton's 3-pointer tied the game with 36.5 seconds left in overtime.
It marked the second straight season that UMass and Providence came down to a putback in the final seconds.
A year ago, when the teams met in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, Terrell Vinson tipped back a Williams miss to give the Minutemen a 77-75 win.
"We were fortunate that Derrick Gordon has a good nose for the ball," UMass coach Derek Kellogg said.
Providence coach Ed Cooley shook his head in the postgame press conference.
"I'm very, very, very disappointed we lost that game. This is back-to-back years losing at the buzzer to this team," Cooley said. "When we play next year, just put one second on the clock and see what happens."
Despite a sloppy performance, the Minutemen appeared in control leading 56-46 with 4:01 left. But UMass, which lost Williams with 1:39 left, struggled to get points and stops down the stretch as Providence finished regulation on a 13-3 run.
After Williams fouled out with 1:39 left, UMass got a tough break with 40 seconds left. Leading 59-57, the referees ruled that Sampson Carter's 3-point attempt didn't hit the rim creating a shot clock violation. If the horn hadn't blown, UMass might have gotten the rebound but the play was blown dead with nobody in possession. The referees checked a monitor and determined it had hit the rim, but PC got the ball anyway because it had the possession arrow.
The Friars took advantage of their good fortune as Cotton hit a driving layup to tie the game with 10 seconds left in the second half.
UMass led 65-61 with 1:50 left in overtime. After PC's Josh Fortune made one of two free throws, the Minutemen missed a chance to stretch their lead when Maxie Esho missed two free throws with 1:31 left. After Tyler Harris made two from the line to pull the Friars within 65-64, Esho atoned for his misses with a high-rising athletic tip-in with 47 seconds left setting up Cotton's tying 3.
UMass (11-1) is off until Saturday when it hosts Miami (Ohio) at 7 p.m.
"I'm proud of the guys. I thought they played well and competed," UMass coach Derek Kellogg said. "To come away with a victory when things weren't perfect was a testament that we've gotten better as a team and a program."
Lalanne led UMass with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Carter (12 rebounds) and Davis each had 12 points. Williams had 10 points and 10 assists.
"I think (UMass) will play in the NCAA tournament," Cooley said. "They showed their team grittiness today."
Cotton led PC (10-3) with 24 points, while Harris added 16 points and nine rebounds.
"I'm proud of our group," Cooley said. "I'll cheer for UMass the rest of the year. They have a good basketball team. This is nothing to put our head down about on the road. We'll get better."
UMass struggled, especially early, against PC's physical play as the officials called the game loosely in the paint.
"I felt like I was playing football out here with no equipment," Williams said.
PC fed UMass a sizable dose of its own medicine with more fast-break points (14-6) and points off turnovers (14-11) than the Minutemen.

The Penguins (5-4) received a tremendous effort from Melanie Pounders as she recorded 12 kills. Angie Pasquinelle chipped in with 31 assists and Janelle McDonald let the team with six digs.

However, in the second game Sacred Heart responded pulling the match even at one game each, winning 30-28. In the third game, both teams battled as Sacred Heart gained a late 29-26 advantage, but Wofford was able to rally and win the game 31-29 to take a 2-1 lead in the match.

I don't need a lot of wishes, just give me lots'a shoes. Bahahaha! I'd be broke, I tell ya.
Been addicted to bracelets and wristwatches. I can't stand a day without 'em. Last time, I purchased braided bracelets from Quirkypedia and I've been inspired to make my own. All stacked, braided bracelets on my right hand are from Quirkypedia and I made the one on the left (the peach one) , ain't it cute? ☺
Arm party makes my daily outfit fun, carefree and more summer vibe! A pop of color always catches good vibes, don't you think? ☺
Must Have : Blazer
"The beauty of the blazer is that it does a tango between the masculine and the feminine, the formal and the casual, the preppy and the trendy, the smart and the sexy. You can't quite pin it down, and therein lies its charm. A chic untraditional way to buy a blazer is to buy it unconstructed or over-sized or shrunken for a dramatic and fashionable look."
Have it your way — in any colors or in all colors, in any size and in any style.
Must Have : A-line Dress
"A-LINE is narrower on the top and flares out gently toward the bottom, resembling the letter A, thus the name. Here's the deal with the A-line dress: It will work for you on your best day. It will work for you on your worst day. It will work for you when you don't know what to wear, for all occasions, and in all kinds of weather. And no matter what, it will flatter your figure.
With a good A-LINE, the fabric flows over perceived flaws or imperfections. No matter the day, the season, or the year, the A-line dress will always make you look and feel fashionable, fabulous, and perfectly capable of keeping up with Twiggy and her crew."
Look what I got! :"> Pretty necklace from Jamie's online shop, Fashioon Galores. More about the shop, the owner and the accessories I got from her with my next blog post.

Wishlist - Skirts
Floral Pleated Maxi Skirt (Mullet)
It's the Christmas Season, I know.. but this skirt would surely brighten anyone's day. Vibrant and sunny, perfect for strolling/walking out. Free and very relaxing, paired with a white top. Yes?
Very lovely and feminine. I couldn't get enough of floral print. I don't have a floral printed skirt in this color, so why not add more to my floral printed stuff. Too much 'floral print'?
Galaxy Printed High-waist Skirt
Wonderful, eye-catching. I always wanted to have a nebula/galaxy printed clothing and since I love to wear skirts, I love this. Double the pleasure. Galaxy print + High Waist skirt = perfect for a petite girl like me.

Ok, so this is a little off topic today, but I seriously am having the biggest pet peeve ever. Have you ever met the person who is always wanting to do big things, but there always seems to be an excuse as to why they can't? Or that they just aren't "good enough"? Well, I can tell you, as a teen, that was probably me. Ok, scratch the probably in that sentence. But right now, I'm looking back at all the things I've done and all that I've accomplished-- especially in the last 6 months--- and I'm proud. I've not let myself get down (at least for long) about something that is ultimately up to me to make happen. I've realized that things happen for a reason and that instead of wallowing in pitty and depression (I've done both, believe me, it's hard to stop and it's not a fun experience) that EVERYTHING can be changed to an opportunity. An opportunity to better yourself. So, do a little tough love with yourself-- and often-- and be honest about what excuses you've made in your life. Believe in yourself. Make the things you dream about happen! Sigh. So, excuse me for getting a hair up my ass everytime I see someone make excuses as to why something didn't happen for them, or why they can't do something. I'm going to buy this print and hang it on my front door or something.
And end rant. Thanks for listening. Now, go do something! Happy weekend!

Don Rickles Overview:
Quick Don Rickles Facts:
- Don Rickles was born in Queens, New York.
- He began doing stand-up in the early 1950s.
- He released his first stand-up album, Hello, Dummy!, in 1968.
- His second album, Don Rickles Speaks, was released one year later.
- Rickles started performing in Las Vegas in the early 1960s, and still performs there regularly today.
- In 2007, Rickles released his memoir, Rickles' Book.
- Rickles won an Emmy in 2008 for the documentary Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project.
In the Beginning:
Don Rickles: Insult Comic is Born:
Rickles quickly developed a style of comedy known as insult comedy when he became famous for responding to hecklers in his audience. Soon, fans were coming to hear him attack audience members and he started losing more and more of his pre-written act. Over time, Rickles would eventually become the King of insult comedy.
In the early 1960s, Rickles went from playing L.A. nightclubs to being a popular headliner in Las Vegas with the help of his new friend Frank Sinatra. Rickles has remained a Vegas mainstay ever since.
Don Rickles Acts:
By the '60s, Rickles' comedy career made him famous enough to start getting film roles. After his big-screen debut in 1958's Run Silent, Run Deep, Rickles acted consistently throughout the '60s in film and TV. Among other projects, he was a fixture in the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies.
Rickles made his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1965, and quickly became one of Carson's favorite guests. He would go on to host and appear as a guest on the show over 100 times while Carson was there.
More Sitcoms, Movies and Stand-up:
After a failed variety show in 1968, Rickles once again received his own series nearly 10 years later with the sitcom C.P.O. Sharkey in 1976. That show lasted only two seasons, but became famous when Johnny Carson interrupted a taping to chastise Rickles for breaking a cigarette box live on The Tonight Show when Carson wasn't there.
By the 1980s, Rickles was headlining shows in Vegas alongside Steve Lawrence. He continued performing throughout the decade, still making regular TV appearances on series and The Tonight Show.
In 1993, Rickles took another shot at sitcom work opposite comedian Richard Lewis on Daddy Dearest. The show was quickly canceled.
Though Rickles didn't do as much film work as he once had, he did make appearances in a few films during the 1990s, including the horror film Innocent Blood, Martin Scorsese's Casino and the Norm MacDonald comedy Dirty Work.
Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project:
In 2007, Rickles published a memoir of his life, called Rickles' Book. In it, he chronicled his days as a comedian and the life-long close relationship he had with his mother, Etta.
The same year, director John Landis (who had worked with Rickles on Innocent Blood) made a documentary about Rickles for HBO. The film, called Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project, won Rickles a Primetime Emmy award in 2008.
Additional Don Rickles Facts:
- His best friend is fellow comedian Bob Newhart.
- He performed alongside Frank Sinatra at the Second Inaugural Ball for Ronald Regan in 1985.
- Rickles supplies the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story films.
- Rickles has been married to his wife, Barbara, for over 40 years.

Smile and say cheese! February is Children's Dental Health month, time to make sure tots, tweens, and teens are getting the tooth care they need.
Even tiny tots need regular checkups, just like mom and dad. The American Dental Association recommends kids start getting checkups at about age 1, or when their first tooth appears.
Yet even before then it's important to care for your child's teeth and gums. Though they'll eventually lose them, baby teeth help a child speak and chew well, and also create a path for the permanent teeth that follow. To care for baby and toddler dental health:
