Bavarian beer in the Okanogan..cool!
Good looking Helles Lager, that pale urine yellow color and a nice head and good lacing. Smells of malt and an almost vegetal smell.
Nice crisp smooth balance between the malts and the slight spicy/ slightly citrus hops. Carbonation felt just about right IMO.
Thinking this beer might make a nice introductory Helles Lager for my friends who still reside in Macro-lagerland

341ml bottle. I used to drink a lot of this back in the 90s, so it's always interesting to revisit an old standby on this site now.
This beer pours a crystal clear, pale golden yellow hue, with two fingers of puffy, thinly foamy off-white head, which settles at a lazy, even pace, leaving some decent bonsai tree profile lace around the glass.
It smells of grainy, lightly biscuity pale malt, a certain soup cracker character hard to shake, with a bit of hard water minerality, and very subtle earthy, leafy noble hops. The flavour starts with a decent bit of floral hop bite, before soon becoming awash in a bready, crackery, and yeasty pale malt graininess; a few more earthy, weedy hops play pile-on nearly after the fact.
The carbonation is moderate for the most part, if a tad fizzy here and there, the body an adequate medium weight for the style, and generally quite smooth. It finishes off-dry, the varied bready malt carrying through, with a surprisingly peppy, edgy dry floral hoppiness along for the ride.
A fairly pleasant, if a little tame, example of the style. I do now recall tiring of its one-dimensionality when sessioning it all those years ago, post-university, but overall it's a decent enough go-to, when you just want a well-made lager of Canadian provenance.

On tap at C'est's What Spring Festival. Light yellow body with noticeble white foam, and lace. Lagerish mouthfeel. Skunkish, and in the taste. Sourness in finsish and sugary.Grassy hops, fairly weak helles.Surprisingly drinkable at all for what it is.

I had a few of these on April 23, in recognition of the day in 1516 the Reinheitsgebot took effect.
With that little bit of geekery taken care of, on to the beer: clear gold with a towering, three-finger white head. The head had good retention and left plenty of lace.
The aroma was an understated mix of bready malt, sweet honey and clover and spicy hops. A bit sulphurous, too, which isn't unusual and not enough to be unpleasant. The taste was well balanced between bready malt and bitter hops. Light-bodied, but a bit sticky with a malty aftertaste left on the palate.
Overall, this is an easy-drinking lager that's a step above macros.

Pours a very clear pale golden colour with a three finger head from an aggressive pour. The head receded fairly quickly, but left some sticky lacing on the glass.
The smell is grassy and grainy. Not a whole bunch to say about it. It isn't strong, but it is notable.
Taste is light but nice, with a grainy, bready flavour up front, and a crisp, faintly bitter finish. Aftertaste is a touch grassy. Put together it makes a good impression.
Mouthfeel is light in body and smooth in carbonation.
As far as lagers go, this is a good one. Easy drinking and the flavour has a freshness to it. A bunch of these in a cooler on a hot summer day, and you wouldn't hear me complaining.

Smooth stands out. Bright. Distinct hop flavour to it. Medium carbonation. Nice, easy drinking lager beer. Crisp and clean. Aroma smells a little bit like wet rain smell on your clothes. Golden in colour. Very little aroma. It is held to the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516, which states that no beer is to be made with preservatives or chemicals.

A- This is a clean, clear looking golden color that appears to have plenty of carbonation, as it aggressively rises to the top. The head isn't spectacular at first, but I have to say that what is there retains very well, settling to a creamy looking foam layer overseeing the liquid underneath. Modest lacing clings to the side of the glass, and does slowly slip back into the beer itself. Overall, an above average looking brew.
S- I think the aromas are subdued in this one, as it is mainly comprised of weak malts and dry grain. There is a faint hop bitterness at the end. Although these are familiar characteristics of a macro, there is no adjunct present and it is definitely sweeter due to the malt....it just doesn't stand out aroma wise.
T- The flavors follow the aromas closely, however, the bitterness is more astringent, and the grain profile is more prominent, providing a dryness that reminds me of the windblown, dusty prairie farms that our barley comes from...down to Earth flavor but alright I guess, with little to no aftertaste.
M- This beer is actually quite palate drying....it's too clean for the style in my opinion. The carbonation is brisk and helps scrub the palate very clean in preparation for the next swig.
Crisp and refreshing, this isn't bad at all....just not what I expected here.
O- I find this to be a nice drinkable beer....is there better out there....yes there is. With that said, this is another good brew that is suitable more for warm weather, although I think I'd quite enjoy this throughout an evening, due to the lite body this has. This isn't the best offering by Okanagan Spring, but I still think this is worthy of trying out, and is definitely better than an everyday macro.

The lady at the store was trying to explain where 1516 comes from. She ended up saying it was a Canadian law #1516 that established the ingredients of beer. Not quite true, but I got it anyways.
It pours a medium golden colour, and has a nice foamy head that settles down to a nice film over the beer.
The aroma is predominately grainy, with some faint caramel sweetness in the background.
It has some some crisp maltiness that is sharply accented by the hops, which come through and lend a light aromatic and slightly bitter quality to the finish.
Overall, this is a better-than-average lager. It's Bavarian inspiration is apparent and pleasing.

I scoffed at this lager when it first came out, mostly due to the heavy-breathing-down-your-neck marketing campaign that endorsed it at every beer store I frequented. Plus I have issues with that 'ole purity law of 1516, so a beer marketed around it was enough of a garlic wreath to keep me away.
However it's been a very hot August, yes, even up here in the frozen Great White North, and it is lager season after all. Picked up a cold case of this to tide me over while the warm bottles of Belgians I bought along with it had time to chill. And it's not bad stuff.
Enough of the personal essay, let's get down to business. This 1516 poured out of it's 341 ml brown bottle a refreshing clear golden hue, but the erruption of bubbles I mistook for a head fell back immediately. Has a crisp hay/malt smell to it, light flowery hops rounding it off. Flavour is the light average of a crisp lager, a decent balance and it goes down smooth. However not much else going on to make it stand out either. This is a decent enough lager, I'd buy it again for another patio/barbecuing session, especially in mixed company (macro drinkers, non-beer drinkers, and beer snobs alike) but I'd reserve it for hot weather refreshment, by no means would I make it a standard of mine. Still, I'd buy this hands down over any macro on the market.

On tap at Player's Athletic Lager Co. in London, ON- A deep golden pour topped with a frothy white cap. Nice lace and retention. Nose of creamed corn, butter, burnt sugar, yuck. Tastes of sweet churned butter, corn, vegetal hops. Buttery finish. Whet the hell is this?

Standard 341 ml brown bottle, name obviously referring to the German Purity Law of 1516 (back label panel explains this. Pours clear golden hue, lots of carbonation. Malty smell, with grass or hay and light hops aroma that is kind of flowery. Nice maltiness and slight hoppy finish. Crisp lager taste, light and smooth, goes down easy. Well balanced, nothing special but my favorite session beer.

A Canadian Munich Helles? Yes please! Haven't had any of these in a long time, and that was just Lowenbrau.
1516 pours a light golden-straw colour with a thin head that doesn't last particularly long. An island of patchy foam in the center is fed by a stream of bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Smell is a little muted but pleasant; barley and grass. This is what a lager is supposed to look and smell like.
Very refreshing taste. Some sweet barley malt flavour and a slight banana note is followed up by gentle Saaz hoppiness. Leafy and floral with a bitter, yeasty finish that lingers for a few seconds after swallowing. There's a lot going on, but none of it is especially unique - I hate to say that though because it's very well-made, all things said. Carbonation prickles the tongue and gives the beer an appropriately crisp, clean taste; rather light bodied.
Above average almost across the board, with no real weaknesses but no particular strengths either. If you are a fan of Munich Helles, or if you just want to try a pale lager that tastes the way pale lagers are supposed to taste, this is worth a try.
[Updated Nov. 8 2013]
I had another two bottles of this last night, courtesy of a brewery sampler. It's a decent homage to classic German lagers and is every bit as easy to session as a Munich lager is supposed to be, but coming back to it years later I find myself slightly less enamoured. A respectable selection, but both Spaten and Lowenbrau are available everywhere, dirt cheap, and significantly to slightly better.
Final Grade: 3.44, a decent B-.

Poured a 341-ml bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance - straw-yellow beer with fast disappearing head. Surface bubbles only.
Smell - pretty fresh, creamy barley malt with a very thin amount of hops present.
Taste - pretty crisp barley flavour with a good hop punch. Dry finish.
Mouthfeel - pretty smooth with a slightly peppery feel toward the end. Dry. Interesting.
Drinkability - goes down fairly well. Not a bad beer for a variety of occasions.

Light golden appearance with thick head. The Smell is light, but picked up malt with a small amount of hops.
The taste is sweet and malty, has a medicinal touch to it. Light bodied with nice carbonation, easy to drink but not to watery. Aftertaste is dry and a bit bitter.
Overall, this is a refreshing beer, would be good for in the summer. Would recommend this.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A fast food restaurant in Kearny Mesa was robbed at gunpoint early Sunday, a police officer said.
Three men, one carrying a gun, demanded cash from three female employees at the Wendy's restaurant at 4770 Convoy St. shortly before 1 a.m., then ran off with the money, San Diego police Officer David Stafford said.
No one was injured, Stafford said.
All three suspects were wearing masks, jeans and hooded sweatshirts, Stafford said.

During the night, your brain goes through four to six cycles called sleep stages. In each cycle there are periods of NREM sleep followed by brief intervals of REM sleep. It is during the REM sleep that your brain actively dreams. Each of these cycles lasts approximately 90 minutes. As morning approaches, the NREM periods become shorter and the REM becomes longer.
Therefore, as you get closer to morning, your chance of experiencing dream sleep, or REM, increases. It is during interrupted REM that you are more likely to remember vivid dreams. Moreover, your sleep drive, or desire to sleep, lessens the longer you sleep. Therefore, you are more likely to be restless and awaken as the morning approaches, thus increasing the chance you will interrupt these increasingly prolonged REM periods. As a result of these factors in combination, you are much more likely to remember your dreams right before you get up in the morning.

News: Ne-Yo Clarifies Engagement Reports In His Own Words
Wednesday, Sep 21, 2011 5:45PM
R&B star Ne-Yo has stepped forward to kill reports from earlier this week claiming he has become engaged to his longtime girlfriend.
Hopping on Twitter, Ne-Yo set the record straight about his love life.
"Ok twit fam. To put all rumors to rest. Not engaged but am expecting second child. Mo has no rep. The person claiming to rep her lied.," Ne-Yo tweeted Wednesday (September 21).
"Thanx for the interest in my personal. Know that the day I DO decide to take that step you will hear it from the horse's mouth. Much love" (Ne-Yo's Twitter)
Engagement rumors circulated online earlier this week.
R&B superstar Ne-Yo is set to be a father again -- and he's engaged, too! The "Closer" singer (real name: Shaffer Chimere Smith) and his longtime girlfriend, Atlanta boutique owner Monyetta Shaw, are engaged and expecting their second child together, her rep confirms to Us Weekly. According to a source, baby number two is due very soon -- in October. As she awaits the special arrival, Shaw is already hard at work opening Emaralyn and Ester, a new boutique in Atlanta's Buckhead district. (Us Weekly)
The couple previously welcomed their first child last fall.
This is not the couple's first child. Ne-Yo and Shaw welcomed a daughter named Madilyn Grace in November 2010. The second baby is reportedly due in October. Ne-Yo also has two other deliveries on the way, his Kevin Hart-hosted mixtape 101 and fifth studio album. (Rap-Up)
Last year, Ne-Yo dished out his fear of becoming a father.
"I'm going to have my first child in January. I'm terrified, I'm gonna be all the way honest. I've never seen myself as a father, you know what I mean? I knew eventually I would get marriedand have kids and all of that stuff. By the way, the marriage rumors aren't true. Let's clear that up. I'm not engaged, I'm not to be married. But the baby rumor is true...My mom was my mom and my dad. I didn't need the male role model. I figure if I do it the way my mom did it, then my kid is going to be fine." (CNN)

Marc Mascarenhas-Swan has been working with political collectives and housing collectives for 20 years. He is a facilitator and trainer working in political education, challenging oppression in privileged communities, and collective organizational development.
Berlin, Germany. November 2010
At the invitation of the steering committee of the first International Commons conference, I went to Berlin to represent our project – Just Alternative Sustainable Economics.
The conference convened to both cohere some of the global forces working to support a commons- based paradigm/ and to share, discuss and innovate policy approaches locally/ and globally that can help take back and enhance the commons.
"The commons has many manifestations and definitions, but in essence it is about reclaiming and Sharing resources that belong to everyone and defending traditional or building new social and Institutional systems for managing those resources in equitable, sustainable ways. It is about fighting Corporate or even parliamentary enclosures of water, air, genes, culture, land and much else." International Commons Conference 2010
The conference itself was hosted by the Heinrich Boll Foundation, a political /foundation affiliated strongly with the German Green Party. The well organized conference, with simultaneous translation, meals, and multiple spaces for sessions was well attended, with about 180 participants who had been invited by the host committee.
A lot of the details of the conference and its structure can be found at the conference website, and the conference wiki.
The conference attendees covered a wide and often unwieldy variety of backgrounds. The majority were academics, writers, researchers and leaders of ngo's, and a smaller contingent were practitioners of the commons. A few were activists organizing communities to fight the erosion of our commons.
The fight for the commons has two interlinked aspects. The work of defending the commons, or resistance based struggles for our shared resources; and, secondly, the work of building the commons from the ground up. The chief challenge of the conference, as I saw it, was that many of the best practitioners of these aspects of reclaiming the commons do not think of themselves as doing so, and therefore were not in attendance. For example, I tend to think of the landless Peoples Movement in Brazil as one of the main forces in the world working to fight for, and maintain the commons, however as I understand it, they wouldn't think of themselves in this regard. The conference attendees reflected this contradiction.
There were groups like ours, whose work could be defined as commons-based, but do not see themselves in this way – for example urban farm collectives, worker cooperatives, and technology sharing websites. And there were those who more fully believed, and advocated intellectually for the commons, but were not involved in the on the ground work it takes to build it, to win it back. This combined with coming from such varied backgrounds left me feeling very ungrounded.
Although participants came from over 30 countries, the bulk came from the global north. This reflected the logistical difficulty in bringing folks from the global south, and we can only speculate on the other reasons for the underrepresentation – a lack of connection to commons struggles in the global south perhaps, or the language of 'the commons' being different in the global south.
A key exception to this was the presence of the Ecuadorans, Alberto Acosta, Minister of the Economy, and Maria Fernanda Espinoza, Minister of Patrimony. They spoke chiefly on the plan to persuade the economies of Europe and North America to pay for preservation of their national forests, as an alternative to drilling for oil reserves located there. But other interesting points included the movement from GDP to Gross Domestic Happiness, and from traditional development to good living; the recognition of natural resources having their own set of rights – as objects, not subjects (and the guarantor of these rights with society); and lastly, the resurrection of the native concept of Minga. Minga is the gathering of community members to complete a task that benefits all of the community. It is considered each individual's obligation to the community. To earn water rights and community voting rights each member must fulfill the obligation. This concept resembles the governing structure of all common resources.
Following the presentation from Espinoza, Richard Pithouse, from South Africa, responded with some useful points, specific to Espinoza and, in general, for the conference attendees. He pointed out that we need to be grounded in the real, immediate needs of the people. People need jobs, food, and clothing, without popular support based on addressing these needs we can't win. The struggle for the commons is not only a mental shift (a theme that came up often during the conference), but also we have to acknowledge that there are material interests invested in enclosure, and they defend these interests using violence. For urban dwellers in the global south, what can the commons do?, Pithouse asked, the people can't return to the land, they have been dispossessed.
There were numerous sessions, conversations and debates that colored the conference, but the last session, which was self organized, was the most enriching for me. It encompassed two key conversations: firstly, "The commons vs. the rights of Mother Earth?" – to raise the question of the relationship between these two key global paradigms for framing social change; and secondly, understanding the move to an incorporated and globalized "green economy".
The Universal Declaration on the Rights of Mother Earth came out of the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, Cochabamba, April 2010, and is considered by many to be an organizing principle for a global movement for Earth Justice. Pacha mama is related to the indigenous cosmology where human rights are indivisible from earth rights. Using this principle a theme that emerged in the conversation was understanding the need to balance our human right to the commons with responsibilities to the earth, a broader responsibility than the commons principle of maintaining resources to be passed on to future generations of humans. Furthermore, the rights of mother earth framework pushes us to create balancing mechanisms in terms of justice, as a counter point to property rights. The general tone of the room was that these two worldviews are at least sister struggles, rooted in different cultural histories. The conversations helped me to generate strategic thinking about how to reclaim and build the commons that is rooted in the leadership of the global south and poor communities in the global north, addressing questions around human rights, earth rights, and addressing concrete human needs.
It was interesting to hear how the "Green Economy" is going to be a key narrative of global capital over the next 10 years – this will function essentially as land grabs for wind and solar resources, for biomass exploitation for plant based fuels, and intensive patenting. The UN has a fast track agenda : define what a green economy is and design the governance for biodiversity and ecosystem services. The major challenge to the ecological commons will be "carbon rights".
I left the conference with two key questions which I continue to struggle with.
Do we try to recapture the concept of a green economy, return to the concept of sustainable economies, or do we need something else? As global capital forms its story around the "Green Economy", what is our story?
Is the commons a framing that can take hold in a North American context, or is this way for those supporters of the commons to evaluate community initiatives, and assess how to build and defend collective resources? Should we look at the commons movement as a "kindred movement", something that the economic paradigm that we are encouraging is a part of, or as a gathering point?
Although the commons conference may not have been the beginning of a global movement to reclaim the commons, it provoked and expanded my thinking about the commons, in all of its complexities, and reminded me that there are practical ways of organizing our communities that precede capitalism, industrialism, and state socialism, and that can allow us to thrive together.

You know damm well whats up Mr Deep with the Jones hate. Jones did unbelievable things in the ring & would have been a lot better had he learnt the fundamentals of the craft to fall back on when his natural assets started to fail. He didn't & therefore provided me with great enjoyment by being knocked out a few times.
Yeah, but you can't voice an objective opinion when your pupils have been riddled with the hate virus as yours have, Ste.
I agree that he didn't have the boxing fundamentals of the more normal, orthadox fighters and yeah, I agree that when they eroded he fell rapidly, but at his best when his assets were there, he was a hell of a fighter. Up there in the mix with the other GOATs.
As with a lot of fighters, his nut huggers go over board and his 'haters' discredit him too much, but in keeping with this thread, there have been other fighters more overrated then Jones as he actually was pretty fucking good.

None of you guys have been paying attention during these last ten years.
The most overrated fighter of the last decade?
Klitschko, either one.
Never have I seen a couple of guys get more mileage out of losing to an ATG fighter (Vitali) and feasting on a string of BUMs, STIFFs, Tomato Cans, No Hopers, and OLE men (Both Klitschkos). And what's with the lack of rematches? Byrd never got his rematch (with Vitali). Sanders never got his rematch. Brewster was allowed to get his rematch only after having *eye surgery* and having been off for nearly two years.
The Klistchko sisters are the biggest joke in boxing, period. Even HBO, who created the Klitschko joke in the first place, has jumped off the band wagon.

I might seriously have to consider revoking your admin rights for this post.
I mean...seriously Jack...your "criticism" is only fueled by your hatred of the personality he puts on display, because honestly, that sounded like it came from a Pactard.
Just look at some of these statements:
Are you sure you're talking about Floyd? Sounds more like you're talking about Oscar De La Hoya or the Klitschkos or even Bernard Hopkins. Shit, what fighter DOESN'T look for the most money and the least risk? Do you think Vitali Klitschko's selection of Sosnowski is a LEAST MONEY-HIGH RISK fight? Was Jones really a HIGH RISK fight for Hopkins? Hell, was Ornelas for that matter? Even Manny Pacquiao...do you REALLY believe that he decided to pass on Yuri Foreman and an uprecedented 8TH WORLD TITLE IN 8 DIVISIONS simply because he felt Joshua Clottey was the HIGH RISK? LOL. Man, I thought you understood the sport better than that. I mean, come on, Floyd moved up to 154 to fight De La Hoya...don't make it sound like that wasn't a risk. Floyd fought the undefeated Ricky Hatton...don't make it sound like that wasn't a risk (if it was a risk for Pacquiao, it should be a risk for Floyd too). Hell, 3-4 years ago, you and a lot of people were talking about how Floyd isn't a natural welterweight...he's too small...blah, blah, blah...now all of a sudden he's a guy fighting boxers who are "one-two divisions smaller than he is"? Man, cut it out! That's not Floyd Mayweather. He fought one guy...ONE GUY...Marquez, in a freakin' tune-up after a 16-month layoff. That's the ONLY guy that he's fought smaller than him. And don't even try to cry about Ricky Fatton's ass either...YOU guys wanted the fight and there were no complaints at all when Hatton moved up to fight him. Come to think of it, Floyd was the one moving up in weight before it got so popular. He moved up to 135 and fought Castillo...a HIGH RISK fight. In fact, he MOVED UP to 140 AND 147...so why you think he's been fighting all of these guys that are smaller than him is totally beyond me. I assume that's the hatred of his personality slipping out of you because if you're just looking at the facts, that's simply not true. Like I said, the ONLY guy you can point to is Marquez, but man, that fight was no different than Hopkins handpicking Ornelas for a tune-up, so the cut the man some slack. Now he's fighting Mosley, which I'm sure a lot of you probably agree is a HIGH RISK fight...so how are you going to PRAISE Bernard Hopkins for fighting a tune-up in Ornelas and then a shot fighter in Jones, but shit on Floyd for coming back after a 16-month layoff to tune-up against a top 3 P4P fighter and then take on the man at welterweight? I mean, SERIOULSY??? Man...Jack...say it ain't so.
"just as much criticism for Floyd fighting boxers smaller than he, as there is praise for his natural boxing abilities."
Man...now it's become CLEAR to me that you're DEFINITELY talking about Bernard Hopkins. I mean, after all, when he's got Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Winky Wright, Joe Calzaghe and Kelly Pavlik, it's pretty obvious that HE'S the one "Fighting boxers one-two divisions smaller than he is."
I hate to slap around one of my favorite admins, but damn...the pimp hand had to come out strong on that one.
You speaketh blasphemy!
LOL!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Wow!!!! Shit that was SOME Rebuttal post!!!!!!

Funny, Cuz Hopkins weighed in less than Trinidad, he weighed in at 157 for DLH, Wright walks around at 190, and Calzaghe was at ZERO weight/size disadvantage. Calzaghe had been DYING to move up to Lt Hvy. Thats no secret. The weights Hopkins came in at vs Trinidad, DLH, if he was so much bigger, surely coming it at 157 1/2 vs Trinidad would have drained the FUCK out of him, as all you were proclaiming before the fight. And he was walking around at 154 the week of the DLH fight, so again, if he was SOOO much bigger, you'd think walking around at 154 would have KILLED him.
PS - ADD the Klitchko's to the Most Overrated. THEY SUCK and they fight NOBODIES! That game of Patty-Cake baby brother played against that one Russian should have warranted his license be revoked.
PPS - A lot of those bums Jones fight he CHOSE to fight. They were NOT mandatories.

Because his BS charade as a HW is getting close to a decade and by the front page of this very website every other day, which seems to show that there is no end in sight....I'm going to say James Toney!
NOW...I am in no way going to say that James Toney as a whole is overrated, we all are very aware of his accomplishments in the lighter divisions. My questioning of JT's greatness is with his career as a heavyweight.
People in the boxing community and on this site attempt to give James Toney credit as being the sole fighter than can take out the Klits and unify the HW titles......BASED ON WHAT?
This is a CLEAR case of people being blinded by a fighters former luster. Any rational person that has watched James as a HW should not be impressed....and for sure should not see him as the potential to end the dredful rule of the Twin Champs.
YET....James Toney is consistantly mentioned as the fighter to beat one or both Klits as well as Haye.
When people come to this notion....I think they are seeing fond memories of the dramatic one punch KO of Prince Charles Williams in the 12th round.....YET...they are totally forgetting much of what we have all actually seen at HW.
Here is a rundown of JT's HW career.
It started off GREAT....with a beautiful TKO of a well past his prime...yet still very able Evander Holyfield. I have to admit, this fight had me believing as well....never had I seen such a profound body attack...nor had Evander...things looked good.
Then it all went downhill.
He won a BORING UD over the little known Ridell Booker.
Recieved a UD win over the often sited WORST Champ in Ruiz, but due to steroids being found in his blood stream this fight was changed to a NC and Toney was stripped of his HW title. No matter if you think we could have won with or without drugs is not the issue. The man tested positive and was stripped and the W was taken away.
Then came the BORING UD win over the lackluster Dominick Guinn
Then came the draw with Rahman with their second fight earning JT yet another NC.
Between those fights were the two back to back losses to Sam Peter, a decent but far from spectacular HW fighter himself.
He then gets a BORING UD against Danny Bachelder, a guy that was beaten by Lance Whitiker, Lamon Brewster and a thrid guy since that fight. Bacheldor is 3-7 in last 10 fights including the Toney loss.
He then gets a controversial win over Fres Oquendo, which many believed he actually lost.
He then polishes this turd of a career even more...with FINALLY a KO win over Matthew Greer...a guy that has lost his last 3 fights, including a loss to Minto and Kevin Johnson.
So in retrospect....as a HW...James Toney's carrer record looks like this.
6-2-1-2 with 2 of those wins by KO.
If people want to believe that record is worthy of praising this guy and listing him as the last hope to rid the division of the Klits.....more power to them....but I myself can see past all of the mouthing and BS for what it is....a desparate attempt to milk $$ from a career LONG over.
In a prior thread I stated this and I'm quite proud to type it yet again. If this keeps up the one single thing that will be worthy of being at the Boxing HOF long after Toney passes will be his vocal chords. Put 'em in a big ole glass with formaldehyde and let people take it all in.
If JT's fists flew as fast as his mouth has the last 7 years.....he would be a legend in the HW division.

I sort of agree with most of you and sort of dont. That 1 pound for Cotto could have made a huge difference, as was stated before the fight by the guys here who fight and understand about having to suck down weight. (I dont so I bowed to their knowledge)
I kinda agree with you about Manny not being overrated. But only amongst decent fans. You must surely agree that Manny is GROSSLY overrated by the casual fan. Some of the shit iv heard talked by people I know who take an occasional interest in the big fights has been fuckin ridiculous, and unfortunately, these are the people that a lot of the press pander to because they are the majority. I'v heard it stated that theres no way in hell Floyd will beat Manny. That sort of shit is perpetuated by people buying into misinformed hype and in Britain at least, boxing getting so few column inches that the writers report only the easy, obvious stuff.
Yeah but I just laugh under my breath at casual fans and then wait for there to be a big fight and take all their money when they bet heavy with me on the MEDIA favourite. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Trust me Lloyd once you've taken their money and then bitch slapped them in front of their lady they soon learn to shut up quick.

LMAO. Guys like Pacquiao, Mayweather, Jones and Hopkins are NOT the most overrated fighters of the last decade. These guys are all great, great fighters.
Come on, it's GOT TO BE JEFF LACY. (by the way, I may have been wrong about Roy's fight with him coming before Calzaghe. Too lazy to look it up)
RICKY HATTON is a good one too. He has one win of real note, against Tszyu, and the conditions of that fight were awfully dubious. Plus it was Tszyu's last fight, so you have to wonder how much he really had left mentally. Anybody questioning Pacman's wins over Morales or Barrera has to doubly question Hatton's win over KT.
ZAB JUDAH is another one. This guy still gets a little shine, and his career is fucking garbage when you look at it. One good win. Cory Spinks, who he also lost to.
The KLITSCHKO'S haven't beat anybody but in their defense, there hasn't really been anybody for them to beat.

I say it's Jeff Lacy. Even as an amateur, the guy couldn't fight someone that moved. Hell, Richard fucking Grant boxed the shit out of him on the lawn of the Playboy Mansion. That was the moment that everyone at the pro ranks knew the book on Jeff Lacy. It was only a matter of time until his management decided to cash out and feed him to the wolves.
Calzaghe, Taylor, Jones...career.

Vogtle will soon become the largest nuclear power plant in the country. The facility
based in Burke County continues the construction of two more nuclear reactors;
making the plant the first four-unit site in the United States.
But since the
$14 billion project began, concerns over Plant Vogtle's safety have been called
into question.
are we making sure that radiation to the general public and to the site doesn't
get to a level that would have any harmful impact?" said Mark Rauckhorst, construction vice president of Vogtle reactors 3 and 4.
Friday morning select organizations
were invited to get a look at the new reactors. Project managers say reactors 3
and 4 are built with a safety feature that does not rely on an operator or
electronic feedback if it needs to shut down in case of an emergency; unlike
reactors 1 and 2 which were built in the 1980s.
an industry we've learned to improve the safety of the plant and improve
reliability, where the capacity factors and the units are at an all-time high
levels," said Tom Tynan, site vice president of Vogtle reactors 1 and 2.
pressurized water reactors, will soon move into the next phase of construction.
Using the world's largest crane to place this bottom head of the containment
vessel into a 40-foot-deep crater, and then build on up; a process scheduled to
take years.
real focus here is on safety and quality of the plant. The schedule will take
care of itself as we go forward," Rauckhorst said.
Vogtle 3 and 4 are
scheduled to go online at the end of 2016 and 2017. They will be the nation's
first new reactors in the past three decades; a major step toward Georgia's
future in nuclear energy.

Sale to Oil-Backed Al Jazeera
Washington Free Beacon
Al Gore's Current TV confirmed Wednesday evening that it has been sold to Al Jazeera for an estimated $400 to $500 million, with the former vice president set to pocket up to $100 million from the sale.
In an email sent to Current TV's staff, co-founder and former chief executive officer Joel Hyatt describes the selling process he and co-founder Al Gore went through in considering sale to Al Jazeera, acknowledging Current TV was a failed model.
Hyatt points to the Al Jazeera's many accomplishments, including its global reach and for being the "only news network" that Obama-supporter Colin Powell watches, as factors in their decision.
The announcement makes clear that Al Jazeera plans to create a new international news network for an American audience called "Al Jazeera America."
Hyatt reminds his staff that the Qatari government funds Al Jazeera in the announcement, but fails to mention that the news network is considered by some a political and diplomatic tool for the oil-rich monarchy. Drivers in Qatar currently pay about $1 per gallon at the pump, due to massive oil subsidies handed down by the government.
Gore's post-vice presidential work has notably centered around reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other green causes. The former vice president will pocket an estimated $100 million on the sale. According to the New York Times, which first broke the story Wednesday, Gore wanted to complete the sale before Jan. 1, 2013 to avoid getting slammed with higher taxes.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Glenn Beck's the Blaze inquired about buying Current last year, but was rejected due to ideological differences. Current leadership told the Blaze at the time that "the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us." Beck confirmed the inquiry late Wednesday.
Editor's Note: So, Al Gore, the hypocritical sell-out, will get into bed with OPEC oil -- even as he blathers on about man-made global warming, but won't sell to an American who differs with him ideologically. Either Gore is a money whore, he doesn't really believe in man-made climate change, or both. Whatever the case, Mr. Gore is as slimy as they come, now caked with OPEC oil...Wonder what the Greenies think of their "leader" now??

I copied and pasted this from the SolidWorks Blog by Matthew West, who copied and pasted this from Richard Doyle's blog on the SolidWorks forums. This post is from February 22nd, 2011.
***Just a little over an hour ago, the Kettle Morain SolidWorks User Group
(KEMSUG) in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin became the 200th SolidWorks User Group registered with SWUGN.
Little did we know back in 2000 that SWUGN would be so successful. In fact, in 2000 we didn't really know just how many SolidWorks User Groups even existed. A 2004 "reconciliation" put the number at 66 worldwide. In November of 2007, the Central Savannah River Area SolidWorks User Group became the 100th group in the US.
And now we stand at 200, but not for long. There are at least 2 more groups coming on line in the next few days, and our 2011 "Fill The Holes" campaign is meant to create additional SolidWorks User Groups in areas that are lacking. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see 220 - 230 groups registered by the end of this year.
The credit for the success of SWUGN lands square on the shoulders of the SWUGN Committee and the local chapter leaders. These folks take time away from their families and other activities to provide SolidWorks users with an amazing resource. If you're not a member of a local SolidWorks User Group chapter, you are missing out on additional training, terrific networking opportunities, and a chance to make some great friends.
Check the SWUGN "Find a Group" page for a local chapter in your area. If you live and work in an area that needs a group, consider starting one. If you hurry, you could be group number 201 (or 202, or 203).

A series of fires broke out in the valley Saturday.
PFD: 4th fire to break out within 2 hours:
Crews responded to a house fire near 21st Street and Southern in the morning where two children were inside. They were able to get out safely and firefighters put out the flames, but the home sustained damage and appears to be a serious loss.
The Phoenix Fire Department has a warning for you about turning on a heater for the start of the winter season.
"First of all, we always want to make sure people get their units checked..smoke detectors can make a difference in saving lives," said PFD's Larry Nunez.
Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the blaze.
Green Earth mulch fire:
At the Green Earth company in Phoenix, fire engulfed a giant mulch pile right off of Interstate 17 and Filmore.
Crews were able to put the fire out before it spread to other areas.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Vacant home burns
At a home in Guadalupe, a fire burned a home near Montezuma and Southern Avenue.
The first alarm fire was first reported as a person trapped inside, but that turned out not to be the case. According to authorities, neighbors reported seeing vagrants flee from the house.
The Guadalupe Fire Department is concerned about the cold weather and people finding shelter in abandoned homes and using fire carelessly.
"As things cool down and people seek shelter in abandoned homes..it's always a concern any time of year that people start using artificial heat..to keep themselves warm or to cook with."
Crews were able to put out the flames and no one was reported injured during the fire.

Clarets to hold silence in memory of players and fans
1:44pm Friday 21st December 2012 in News By Chris Gee, Reporter
BURNLEY Football Club is to hold a special matchday event next month to remember those players, staff and fans who have died in 2012.
Following a proposal by the Supporters' Liaison Group, the club has designated the first game of the calendar year as an appropriate time to hold a one-minute silence in memory of loved ones.
The "In Memoriam" day will take place ahead of the Burnley v Crystal Palace game at Turf Moor on Saturday, January 12.
All names of fans received by the club will be added to the former players and staff who have passed away and displayed on the big screen ahead of the Palace game.
The names will also appear in the matchday programme.
A spokesman for the club, said: "We are inviting supporters to join the club in remembering members of the Clarets' family who have sadly passed away this year."
"We'd like supporters to submit the names of anyone who has passed away in 2012. and who you would like to be remembered in this moment of reflection."
Among those honoured will be England World Cup medal winner and Clarets hero John Connelly, who died, aged 74 in October.
He played 265 games for the Clarets, scoring 104 goals and starred as Burnley clinched the Championship title in 1960.
The "in memoriam" event has been welcomed by Garry Fretwell, whose wife Janice was treasurer of the official supporters club and a dedicated fan before her death from cancer last month.
He said: "I think this is a lovely idea to remember all connected with Burnley FC who we have lost this year.
"Janice was a passionate fan of the club.
"I think something like this shows how bonded the club are with the supporters. It's a really nice gesture."
Those wishing for a relative to be included should e-mail the name, age and hometown of the person to email@example.com.
The deadline for names to be received is Wednesday, January 9.

West "A" Street in the area of S.W. 17th Street is closed to through traffic for the next three to four weeks for storm drainage improvements. The detour route is South Coddington Avenue, West South Street and South Folsom Street.
The City of Lincoln says a new storm sewer will be built on the north side of "A" Street, and the open drainage ditch will be re-graded to drain into several concrete flared-end sections in the public right of way. All work is designed to occur within the existing right of way with minimal impact to the existing properties. The contractor, HR Bookstrom Construction, will work with local residents and businesses to maintain access to the area.

Mike Fast has an article at Baseball Prospectus about framing pitches, he breaks it down by the numbers of who is good, who is bad and what makes good catchers good and bad catchers bad. He even has gifs of good and bad technique. The Upshot of the article: Alex Avila is very good, and Gerald Laird was very bad.
According to Fast's numbers Avila is the second best catcher this year at 16 runs saved, just behind the leader Jonathan Lucroy at 17 runs. Avila has also averaged 13 runs/ 120 Games. Avila also saved 9 runs last year while splitting time with Laird.
Laird on the other hand is terrible, he averages -15 runs/120 Games, had -12 runs for us last year and -16 runs for us in 2009. So much for the whole "At least Laird is a great defensive catcher" crap.
If we look at this year which is Avila's first full time year and 2009 which was Laird last full time year we see that its a 32 run swing. 32 runs is .1975 runs per game, or to think about what life would have been like with Laird this year, add 0.2 to every pitcher's ERA. Thats huge, and it could be a reason why the Tigers are an impressive 27-15 in one run games.
Its a great article and you guys should check it out, plus its another reason to revel in the awesomeness that is Alex Avila.

Pitt landed their third commit for the 2015 recruiting class, when Kevin Givens himself tweeted this a few hours ago.
Altoona junior LB Kevin Givens RT @Kittykev: Proud to be a Pitt panther....#H2P!
Altoona junior LB Kevin Givens RT @Kittykev: Proud to be a Pitt panther....#H2P!— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) February 18, 2014
Givens becomes the first defensive player for the 2015 recruiting class, and is the third player from the WPIAL to give his pledge to Paul Chryst and his staff. Givens is a consensus three star by all the major recruiting websites. He is listed at 6-3 230 outside linebacker. Givens had other reported offers from Temple, UMass, and Western Michigan. He was receiving some interest from schools like Penn State, Michigan, and West Virginia, but they have yet to pull the trigger on an offer.
Givens comes in as the 20th rated prospect in the state according to 24/7, and by that the 5th rated WPIAL prospect. Givens has tremendous size and strength for his position, and perhaps a move to Defensive End could eventually happen, but he is a nice pickup for Paul Chryst. Givens even plays some stand up end in high school, and also looks like a scary sight in the open field as a running back.
Now if you know your Pennsylvania geography, Altoona is not a traditional WPIAL school, and they actually sit closer to Central Pennsylvania than Pittsburgh. You have to wonder if a Penn State offer would change anything with this commitment, since that is the team that plays in his backyard. Either way, I think Pitt is off to a successful start in the 2015 recruiting class. Pitt has three of the top players in the WPIAL, and they all come in with plenty of upside. Linebacker was a spot that seemed neglected in recent recruiting years, and it is nice to see Pitt land one of the top linebacker prospects in the state.

Albany -- Two of the top Cancer experts in the world will speak at an education forum for Phoebe's Cancer Center in Albany April 27th. Hundreds of Southwest Georgia Doctors are expected to attend.
Oncologists say this is one way the war against cancer is being won.
Radiation Oncologist Dr. Terry Kraus and Medical Oncologist Dr. Phillip Roberts say the news in Cancer Therapy is good today.
Dr. Roberts said, "The number of cancer deaths in the U.S. decreased this year. First time ever."
They say one of the reasons for more cancer survivors is that doctors across the world are working together, sharing information leading to successful therapy. That sparked the forum, at which two University of Florida Cancer Surgeons, Dr. Stephen Grobmyer and Dr. Mark Scarborough will speak.
They are renowned for their expertise in Sarcomas, a rare form of soft tissue cancer. Dr. Terry Kraus said, "The University of Florida were one of the first to recognize the necessity of treatment in sarcomas."
Southwest Georgia cancer specialists have been invited to attend the forum, where they will hear about the latest research advances. For Southwest Georgia cancer patients, it's a promise of first class treatment.
Dr. Kraus said, "And really get some important historical perspective of what is the best way to treat cancer."
Dr. Kraus and Dr. Roberts say in their more than 25 years each of practice, this is the most exciting and promising time in cancer treatment, as experts like the Florida Oncologists deliver the latest research information to Southwest Georgia Doctors.
Southwest Georgia has one of the highest cancer death rates in the nation. Phoebe's Cancer Center diagnosed 1,800 new diagnosed cancer patients last year.

Feminist News
Two Iranian Feminists Still Jailed
Prominent Iranian women's rights leaders Shadi Sadr and Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh remain in jail after being arrested for peacefully protesting on March 4. The women, who were arrested with some 30 feminist activists for protesting the detainment of four other Iranian feminists, have been charged with being a "threat to national security," the Campaign to Free Women's Rights Defenders in Iran reports. According to independent news source Huliq.com, they have been ordered to serve a month-long detainment.
The Campaign to Free Women's Rights Defenders in Iran reports that both women have been interrogated without their lawyers and have been denied their right to visit with counsel and their family members. Sadr, who has a chronic stomach ulcer, and Abbasgholizadeh, who suffers from arthritis and migraine headaches, have no access to medical care in Iran's notorious Evin prison, where both women are being held. The Campaign also reports that the women are experiencing insufficient heat, limited access to toilets, blindfolding, and sleep deprivation while in detention.
The other feminist activists arrested on March 4 have since been released.
In addition to being activists for women's equality in Iran, Sadr and Abbasgholizadeh organized a campaign against stoning as a form of punishment for adultery in Iran.

I am the lucky recipient of a rock to the windshield and now must find a company to replace it.
They all give that whole "is the crack bigger than a dollar bill" rundown. It makes me wonder how many people actually grab a dollar bill and head out to their car to measure. I never have ... But I think this time the crack fits into the "bigger than a dollar bill" category. Bummer.
Of course, this all happens during the month my state inspection is due and I figure it won't pass with that nice ding on the windshield. Besides, I should probably get it fixed anyway.
Have you ever noticed how true the phrase "it's always something" really is? I just had the car in the shop, got it all tuned up, looked over ... you know, kinda like a day at the car spa and thought - perfect we're set to go, oil is topped off, any burnt out lights are fixed - we're good to go.
Then, wham! some random rock decided it wanted to get to know my windshield a little better. What was a little chip - WAY smaller than a dollar bill - turned into a hardcore crack within hours.
Dandy. Love it.
Off to shop for estimates.

(WVVA) - Following is an official statement from the Mountain State University Board of Trustees regarding the school's accreditation status, as published on www.mountainstate.edu:
The Mountain State University Board of Trustees is both disappointed and surprised to receive notice from the Higher Learning Commission of its intention to remove the University's accreditation.
We are disappointed because the decision profoundly affects the students currently being served and the faculty and staff who serve them, as well as the opportunity the University affords for future generations.
We are surprised because the report ignores the significant progress that has been made since the Higher Learning Commission notified the University of its concerns a year ago. Major changes have been undertaken in all of the areas of concern that were cited by the Higher Learning Commission and significant progress has been demonstrated in implementing these changes.
The issues that are cited by the Higher Learning Commission as justification for its action are stated largely as they were a year ago. Missing is recognition of the evidence the University community presented documenting our significant progress. Also missing is acknowledgement, as was recognized by the members of the HLC team that visited the campus in March, that not enough time had passed to enable the University to demonstrate permanent change.The Board is committed to continue to do what is in the best interests of the students, faculty and staff of Mountain State University and the community it has served since 1933. It is the Board's intention to promptly appeal the decision in accordance with the procedures available to the University, and to forcefully pursue our appeal. We are also weighing all options to preserve and protect MSU. We will provide updates on a regular basis as decisions are made.

If you have a habit of picking more winners from your nose than the stock market, then you might be risking more than your portfolio.
Tweezing and scratching, and other over-enthusiastic nose activities can expose hair follicles to bacteria in an area called "the triangle of death". This is the region where the nasal and sinus blood supply meets with the large vein at the base of the brain. If an infection should happen to travel there, it could become an infected blood clot.
So do this instead of picking and plucking:
Clear nasal passages with a nasal rinse using a neti pot as part of your daily morning hygiene routine.
Line your nose with a moistening jell to make it less crusty.
And use a rotary nose-hair trimmer that gently cut the hairs rather than pulling them out at the root.

Lance Lynn turned in another strong outing Monday evening with 6 1/3 innings of 6 hit, 2 run ball. He also struck out four and walked one. His counterpart, Collin McHugh, would all but match him with 5 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run and 2 strikeouts.
The real bummer of the night was Trevor Rosenthal, who uncharacteristically gave up a lead in the 8th. The new father was charged with 4, yes 4, earned runs, ending his streak of 11 2/3 scoreless innings. This deficit would prove to be insurmountable, as the Cards lost 6 - 2.
What made this loss sting the most, to me, was that the Rockies seemed to out-Cardinals the Cardinals. After Matt Carpenter pushed his hit streak to 8 and tied the game on his MLB-leading 51st double, which is two shy of Stan Musial's single season record for a Cardinal lefty, with two outs in the top of the 8th, I thought for sure the Birdos were going to RISP their way to a win. I was so confident, I even got up and made a snack, preparing for what might be a 10 or 11 inning adventure. But the opposite happened as the Rockies went 5 -11 with RISP and 3 - 4 in the 8th inning.
With the Pirates getting "Maddux'd" in a one hit loss last night to the Padres Andrew Cashner, the Cardinals enter play today tied for first in the division with the Reds 2.5 games back. Looking to right the ship is "Bazooka/Machine Gun/Dancin'/Dead Fish Handshakin'" Joe Kelly, who experienced his first lost in 47 days his last start out. Let's hope he pitches better than he shakes hands tonight, as the Birds need to keep pace in the division. Opposing him is Juan Nicasio, a 8 - 7 righty from the Dominican Republic with a 4.58 ERA.

STERLING — — Sterling Regional MedCenter has been identified as "one of the best places to work" by a national nursing organization, according to a press release from the hospital.
SRM announced Tuesday that it received "Pathway to Excellence" designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
According to the release, the designation "identifies the elements of work environments where nurses can flourish" and recognizes job satisfaction levels of the nurses at SRM.
"The achievement of this distinguished nursing award was made possible through dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work," hospital CEO Julie Klein said. "This is an acknowledgment of the excellent care provided by the nursing staff at Sterling Regional MedCenter each and every day. This team led by Brooke Hale is a true inspiration to everyone in the organization. Congratulations on this amazing success!"
To achieve the designation, the hospital must meet certain criteria and undergo a review process documenting "quality initiatives to create a positive work environment," the release states.
"The positive work environment outlined for the award is defined by nurses and supported by research," it says. "These initiatives leaders at Sterling Regional MedCenter worked toward were shown in the facility's practices, policies and culture."
The criteria is verified through a confidential online survey of the nursing staff.
SRM says that the designation demonstrates to the public that the hospital is committed to nurses and values their contributions. "The honor encourages other nurses to join their colleagues in this desirable and nurturing environment," it states in the release.

Ears ring, sweat drips and a crowd becomes so engulfed by what it is witnessing appearances become irrelevant. This feeling of euphoria - now strangely unfamiliar - is the cornerstone which made Chixdiggit the punk-rock institution it is today. Sadly, these pundits of the power chord have been on hiatus for the past five years, leaving a sizeable gap in Calgary's music scene. However, the gears are turning once again, with a revitalized lineup and the release of a new album, Pink Razors.
"Well, we put out a new record and went to Europe and did a few shows in the States and Canada," frontman KJ Jansen explains enthusiastically. "We're getting ready to play a show here and leave for Europe again. We're back for a couple weeks and we're going to Australia and Japan and a little bit of Southeast-Asia and some California too. It's going to be a whirlwind world tour."
Although this sounds like a frantic pace, the band has decided to alter their approach to being on the road. Instead of touring eight months a year as they were accustomed to, Chixdiggit now plan to spend only three months on the road. They hope this change will remind them of why they began the band in the first place.
"We were pretty much off for a couple of years, and it was nice to take the time to help it be fun again," reflects Jansen. "We didn't want to go super full-tilt. We were always on tour before and it just got to be kind of a drag. We're not doing it too much and it's great again. We just do it a little differently, we're more tourists now than we were before."
Passports and postcards might be in the works for Chixdiggit, but the booster cables of original drummer Jason Hirsch have done more than their share to turn the engine over. Hirsch left the band in its early years and was subsequently replaced by Dave Alcock - currently of local band Falconhawk and proprietor of Sundae Sound Studios - but has returned to the original lineup. Along with bassist and relative newcomer Mike McLeod the band is primed to live up to its tradition of Billy-Zoom-stance revelry.
"We had Dave Alcock come in the band in '97 and it rejuvenated us," beams Jansen. "It was this new enthusiastic point of view. So Jason has come back and he's kind of like the young new enthusiastic guy and we also have Mike who is a young enthusiastic guy anyway. So it has been only positive I think. Of course we're sad to see the other guys go, but it's definitely breathed a lot of life into this band."
New additions aside, reinstating any outfit after an extended absence is a daunting task even for the wiliest veterans. The oft-criticized Calgary scene has been said to harbour apathetic and complacent audiences, resulting in the neglect of our fair city by many up-and-coming artists. Jansen defeats this notion when evaluating where the obligation should be.
"It's probably just a band coming into town and saying, 'oh, it's Calgary' wherever they're from," explains Jansen. "If they're from Regina they'd probably be like, 'hey awesome, it's Calgary,' but if they're from Toronto or Los Angeles they'd be like, 'aw fuck, Calgary.' So they're probably not putting any effort into their show, so it's probably their own fucking fault they're having a bad show. People are people and it's not like any town has a better crowd than others. I think if you put on a good show and you get the crowd going it's because you're good, not because the town is good."
To finally celebrate the release of Pink Razors in Calgary the band finds itself playing in a new local venue, the Hi-Fi Club. It will also serve as a kick-off point for the tour.
"It's kind of an opportunity to show the people that we work with and go to school with that we are actually in a band," Jansen says. "When we go away on these trips they're not just holidays, we're actually playing musical instruments on a stage in front of people. Our family is going to be there and all the people we work with, it'll be kind of a family reunion."
If the enthusiasm of Calgary's music scene has waned over the last couple of years, perhaps the renaissance of a long-time favourite is exactly the kick in the pants it needs. They've got new energy, a new album, they're coming out swinging, and well, Chixdiggit!

Can you make a whirring sound with your tongue? Try it now. Did your husband look at you funny when you just did that? Happens at our house all the time.
On a recent morning, as I was doing some research for this column, I asked Kaye and a visiting niece from West Virginia to do it. No problem. The hummingbirds heading south for the season and any lost helicopter pilots would have been proud of the symphony of whirring sounds that came from our kitchen.
Following that successful exercise, I begged them to humor me and attempt to utter the R-sound while rolling it with the tip of their tongues on the roof of their mouths. They thought I had gone a bit batty, but they complied. That done, I explained my motive.
I'm a fan of our spoken language, past and present. I've collected records — some more than 120 years old. I have march music recorded in the last decade of the 19th century, and a few of the songs have spoken introductions. The speakers almost invariably roll or trill their R's. Why? That's a question I've had for many years.
I finally decided to investigate the matter fully, and since you're into it this far, you should follow it to the end.
By the way, who among you knows what Edison said on his first cylinder recording made in 1877? I quote: "Mary had a little lamb." Isn't that exciting? He explained that his machine would aid in the teaching of elocution. He was right.
I discovered that many kids these days can't roll their R's. I suppose they can't wiggle their ears together or one at a time either. It's just something we did back in the day.
