Bert, Robbie and The Greatest
I don't have a problem with Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar going into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but they'd hardly be my first, second or third picks on an all-time team. Some guys are Hall of Famers because they simply dominate the game (Williams, Ruth, Koufax, Aaron). Some are HOFers because they have the numbers (289 wins, a .300 average).
Good for Blyleven and Alomar. They had wonderful careers. But yeah, this is a down year for Cooperstown.
The MLB Network has a very intriguing new series, hosted by the ever-polished Bob Costas. A panel of "experts" has voted for the 20 greatest baseball games of the past "50 seasons" (as Costas said in the premiere. Each show features Costas, Tom Verducci and a special guest in the studio. They talk over highlights from a game and also play the original broadcasts and broadcasters, all in a neat one-hour package.
Game No. 20 was a doozy: Phillies 23, Cubs 22 from May 1977 at Wrigley Field. The Phillies led this game 17-6 midway through, yet the Cubs tied it at 22. Dave Kingman hit three monster home runs for the Cubs in the losing effort.
MLB is keeping its list under wraps, and I'm not sure if Game 7 of the 1960 World Series is eligible (again, Costas said "50 seasons," which would mean 1961-2010. If it is, it's the likely No. 1. If not, I'm not sure what the No. 1 game would be. Perhaps Game 6 of the '75 World Series (Carlton Fisk's 12th-inning homer for Boston).
Here are my picks to make the list:
Game 6 of 1986 Series (Buckner game)
Game 5 or 6 of the 2003 ALCS, in which Boston humiliated the Yankees by ralling from a 0 to 3 games deficit
The underrated but very dramatic Game 7 of the 1991 World Series between the Twins and Braves
Two more games from the 1986 postseason will rank very high: Game 6 of the NLCS between the Mets and Astros. Folks, this one could be No. 1. The Mets score three runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game, then score three in the top of the 16th to take a seemingly insurmountable lead. The Astros score two in the bottom of the inning before coming up short, handing New York the pennant and allowing the Mets to avoid the unhittable Mike Scott in Game 7.
Another gem from '86 was Game 5 of the ALCS. That's the game where Boston's Dave Henderson homered off California's Donnie Moore in the ninth inning, and the Red Sox went on to win 7-6 in 11 innings. They would win the next two in Boston to take the series. With Howard Cosell and Al Michaels on the call. A fascinating game.
Game 7 of the 1997 World Series (Marlins over Indians)
Take your pick of a game from the 2001 World Series (Diamondbacks over Yankees)
The Reggie Game in the 1977 World Series (three homers)
Those are just a bunch. What do you predict will be on the list?

Ode to the Rideau Canal Skateway
- Wednesday, 08 February 2012 16:05
- Written by Jantine Van Kregten
I have to admit, I love the Rideau Canal Skateway! I love the feeling of gliding over the ice, seeing my city from a different vantage point, sharing the joys of winter with so many other like-minded souls.
I'm not even that great a skater, but the experience is so unique, it makes me feel more graceful than I really am.
At an Ottawa Tourism Christmas party a couple years ago, we held a contest to "rap" about the Rideau Canal. I decided to write this instead, which I've updated and recorded here (the text is below as well).
Maybe you'll be inspired to create your own ode to the ice….
Ode to the Rideau Canal Skateway
by Jantine Van Kregten
I slide, I glide, I wanna fly down the ice of the Rideau Canal
It's a Canadian dream, this icicle stream that snakes through my city in a sinuous seam
As I lace up my skates, I think of the dates I've done this before
Alone or with friends, my experience tends to make me want more!
Push and glide, push and glide
A rhythm emerges and I'm not discouraged when I'm passed by a posse of partying youths
They laugh and they tease, they bob and they weave
Then disappear in the night, wrapped up in the flight
To a tavern or pub, a shawarma or sub
Push and glide, push and glide,
A rhythm develops, a new charm envelops when my favourite old couple comes skating my way
With an impressive grace, hand-in-hand they can trace
Perfect patterns that show how well they both know
The dips and the grooves, the roughs and the smooths.
Push and glide, push and glide
The rhythm's extending, any misgivings ending as I get in my groove
Looking around me I see, I'm not alone in my glee
From the BeaverTail noshers to the just stand-and-watchers
There's an active delight in this cold, starry night.
I skate for the bliss—something not to be missed—
Of cold noses and toeses, of cheeks red like roses, of what one supposes
Winter could be.
For my chilly extremities are an excuse for amenities
To be savoured with neighbours, boast of our labours, indulge in the flavours
Of our favourite bistro.
We toast to the night, the warmth and the light…. and when we just might….
Skate it again!

A few weeks ago, in comments on my post critiquing the term "sex class," Lisa Harney and Sunflower both prodded me to think and write more about transgender issues. While I feel like I need to keep offering disclaimers that I'm no expert in this area, I just read something that's so obviously disrespectful toward trans people that I'm going to stick my neck out and say: hey! this is plain wrong.
In a list of "10 Reasons to Suspect You're Not the Fun Kind of Feminist (Part I)," redmegaera writes:
6. You don't describe yourself as being "cisgendered" and you are a woman who hasn't had and doesn't plan to have sex-reassignment surgery, hormone injections or a double mastectomy for cosmetic reasons.
Although I realize that the "10 reasons" format is intended to mark the post as humorous, I'm going to succumb to the old humorless-feminist stereotype and say: That's not funny!
As Lisa Harney writes at Questioning Transphobia, the term cisgendered is intended to shake up the norm and highlight a privilege that often goes unnoticed (by those who are privileged enough to do so, that is):
Cis is a neutral term applied to people who aren't trans. It's intended to decenter the notion that not being trans is the natural, default state for human beings and that being trans is a deviation, and that trans people are other.
(This is part of Lisa's longer explanation of why it's not okay for cisgendered people to reject being labeled as such.)
I don't describe myself as being "cisgendered" every day, but I realize that the term describes what I am and so I'm happy to claim it. I was born with female organs, I'm comfortable with being called a woman, I appear reasonably feminine despite my incompetence with nail polish, and so I don't experience any dissonance between my anatomy, my gender presentation, and the way the world views me. That's a big ole privilege.
Now, back to redmegaera's list. Just to clear up any possible misunderstaning, the term "fun feminist" is not a compliment. It's a term that some self-described radical feminists use to question the seriousness of people whose flavor of feminism differs from theirs. I suspect I qualify as a "fun feminist" by dint of being an unapologetic heterosexual who paints her toenails, however sloppily. I don't much care if someone wants to impugn me for being too fun. Still, I can afford not to care only because I'm privileged in multiple ways. I'm white, middle-class, heterosexual, educated, and yes, cisgendered. More importantly, my relative imperviousness doesn't change the intent behind the term: to denigrate and insult.
Similarly, calling sex-reassignment surgery "cosmetic" trivializes the embodied experience of trans people. Those who pursue such surgery aren't just trying to conform to some beauty ideal. They're hoping to achieve some congruence between body and self – perhaps greater integration of body and self. However far this particular form of embodied dysphoria may be from my personal experience, I can still understand and empathize with the need to feel at home in one's body. This seems like such an obvious point that I'm almost sheepish about making it. Yet it obviously needs to be said.
Also: Surgery, for whatever purpose, is never fun. Mocking people for needing it? Not my idea of fun, either.
Finally, here's yet another ought-to-be-obvious point: Trans people's rights are one facet of human rights, and they're important to defend because every human being matters equally. However, on a more selfish level, feminists who reject the trappings of traditional femininity also have a personal stake in trans people's rights, whether they recognize it or not. A world in which trans people can be murdered on account of their gender is also a world where "a fat, ugly, unfeminine, hairy-legged man-hating dyke" (#7 on redmegaera's list) is also at physical risk. Radical feminists who feel no fellowship with trans people should still be able to see how transphobia harms their own interests. And maybe – just maybe – that could stir the beginnings of real empathy. (I'm not holding my breath, though.)

Sharon Bialek: Herman Cain a 'pathological liar' with 'amnesia'
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH AND LYNN SWEET Staff Reporters November 9, 2011 9:34AM

A north suburban woman who accused presidential candidate Herman Cain of groping her when she went to him for help in finding a job says Cain is lying when he says he doesn't even remember her.
Cain told reporters Tuesday that he had never seen Sharon Bialek — who he referred to as "a troubled woman" — before a news conference at which she accused him of inappropriate conduct 14 years ago.
Bialek says that's not true. Just a month ago, Bialek said, she approached Cain at a Tea Party conference in Schaumburg and reminded him of their history, she said in an interview with MSNBC Wednesday.
The encounter was first reported by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, quoting radio reporter Amy Jacobsen saying she saw the two hug.
"Let me clarify, there was no hugging involved," Bialek said. "In order to get his attention ... I grabbed his elbow and leaned in towards him. ... He acknowledged who I was and remembered what I said. It was simply a few statements to jar his memory."
Bialek made even stronger remarks about Cain in an interview with WFLD-Channel 32, also on Wednesday.
Cain has "complete amnesia," she said. "Pathological liars usually do those kinds of things."
Coming forward has brought Bialek unwanted scrutiny about her financial problems.
In addition to the bankruptcies and collection actions against Bialek reported by the Sun-Times and other media Monday and Tuesday, another case was unearthed by the Cook County Clerk of the Court Wednesday.
This one involves a $1,250 loan Bialek took out at 200 percent interest in 2007. The high interest rate means she would have had to pay back $2,588. She paid all but $1,106 of the debt. In 2009, Illinois Lending Corp. filed suit against her saying that with interest and attorneys fees, the outstanding debt had grown to $3,500.
Bialek asked a judge to revoke a default judgement against her because she was in the hospital with heart disease, which prevented her from appearing in court. The case is still pending.
Bialek has strenuously denied that her financial problems led her to go public with her claims about Cain.
Bialek, who owns a home in Glenview but had lived with a boyfriend in Mundelein, also said Wednesday she has not decided whether to participate in a joint news conference with the three other women who have accused Cain of sexual impropriety. The attorney for another accuser, Karen Kraushaar, has said he hopes to have all four women appear.
Reports surfaced that Kraushaar, who settled a sexual harassment complaint against Cain in 1999, complained three years later at her next job about unfair treatment.
Kraushaar said she should be allowed to work from home after a serious car accident and accusing a manager of circulating a sexually charged email, The Associated Press has learned.
Kraushaar, 55, filed the complaint while working as a spokeswoman at the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Justice Department in late 2002 or early 2003, with the assistance of her lawyer, Joel Bennett, who also handled her earlier sexual harassment complaint against Cain in 1999. Three former supervisors familiar with Kraushaar's complaint, which did not include a claim of sexual harassment, described it for the AP under condition of anonymity because the matter was handled internally by the agency and was not public.
To settle the complaint at the immigration service, Kraushaar initially demanded thousands of dollars in payment, a reinstatement of leave she used after the accident earlier in 2002, promotion on the federal pay scale and a one-year fellowship to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, according to a former supervisor familiar with the complaint. The promotion itself would have increased her annual salary between $12,000 and $16,000, according to salary tables in 2002 from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Kraushaar told the AP she considered her employment complaint "relatively minor" and she later dropped it.
"The concern was that there may have been discrimination on the job and that I was being treated unfairly," Kraushaar said.
Kraushaar said Tuesday she did not remember details about the complaint and did not remember asking for a payment, a promotion or a Harvard fellowship. Bennett, her lawyer, declined to discuss the case with the AP, saying he considered it confidential. Kraushaar left her job at the immigration service after dropping the complaint in 2003. She went to work as a spokeswoman in the office of the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration.
Kraushaar's complaint was based on supervisors denying her request to work full time from home after a serious car accident in 2002, three former supervisors said. Two of them said Kraushaar also was denied previous requests to work from home before the car accident.
The complaint also cited as objectionable an email that a manager had circulated comparing computers to women and men, a former supervisor said. The complaint claimed that the email, based on humor widely circulated on the Internet, was sexually explicit, according to the supervisor, who did not have a copy of the email. The joke circulated online lists reasons men and women were like computers, including that men were like computers because "in order to get their attention, you have to turn them on." Women were like computers because "even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval."
Kraushaar told the AP that she remembered the complaint focusing on supervisors denying her the opportunity to work from home after her car accident. She said other employees were allowed to work from home.
Kraushaar, who is married and lives in suburban Maryland, was among two women who formally settled harassment complaints against Cain in exchange for severance payments in the late 1990s when they worked at the restaurant association. Bennett has said Kraushaar settled her claim during the summer of 1999, shortly after Cain left the organization. Neither Kraushaar nor Bennett have described exactly what Cain was accused of saying or doing to Kraushaar when she worked there, although Bennett said Kraushaar wants to conduct a joint news conference with all the women who have accused Cain. The New York Times reported previously that Kraushaar received $45,000 in the settlement with the restaurant association.
Kraushaar agreed to discuss some aspects of the complaint at the immigration service if the AP agreed to protect her privacy, as it did in previous accounts of her complaint against Cain. She subsequently waived her privacy by confirming for news organizations her identity as one of two women who settled complaints against Cain, so the AP no longer is protecting Kraushaar's identity.
Cain has denied that he sexually harassed Kraushaar and others who have accused him of inappropriate behavior.
In a news conference Tuesday evening, Cain said allegations of sexual harassment by Kraushaar — whom Cain identified by name for the first time — were determined to be "baseless," but he did not explain who made this determination and Kraushaar has disputed this. Cain said that after negotiations between Bennett and the restaurant association's outside counsel she received money under an employment agreement, which Cain said was different from a legal settlement.
"When she made her accusations, they were found to be baseless and she could not find anyone to corroborate her story," Cain said.
Cain said he remembered gesturing to Kraushaar and noting that she was the same height as Cain's wife, about chin-high to Cain. The Georgia businessman said Kraushaar did not react noticeably, but he said the restaurant association lawyer later told him that was the most serious claim that Kraushaar made against him, "the one she was most upset about."
"Other things that might have been in the accusations, I'm not aware of, I don't remember," Cain said.
Bialek, who once worked for the restaurant association's education foundation, accused Cain in a nationally televised news conference this week of groping her and attempting to force himself on her inside a parked car after they had dinner in 1997. Another woman told the AP that Cain made unwanted sexual advances to her while she worked for the association, and a pollster said he witnessed Cain sexually harass another woman after an association dinner.
Kraushaar's complaint at the immigration service prompted managers to use caution when writing and speaking to Kraushaar while the complaint was being investigated, another former supervisor told the AP. Two supervisors said Kraushaar asked a colleague to act as a witness when she had conversations with one manager after she filed her complaint.
The complaint at the immigration service was "nobody's business," Kraushaar said, because it was irrelevant to her sexual harassment settlement with Cain years earlier. "What you're looking for here is evidence of an employee who is out to get people," she said. "That's completely untrue."
Kraushaar, who started her career in Washington as a reporter, was praised for her work in 2000 when she traveled to Miami to help agency officials during the coverage of the Elian Gonzalez case, when federal agents seized the boy from relatives to return him to his father in Cuba.
"Ms. Kraushaar's assistance was invaluable and her performance extraordinary," wrote Robert A. Wallis, the immigration service district director in Miami. Kraushaar provided seven such letters of recommendation to show that her performance was commendable while working at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the restaurant association and the immigration service.

At the urging of a mysterious voice, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Costner) comes to believe that if he carves a baseball field out of his cornfield, his late father's hero, long-dead baseball great Shoeless Joe Jackson, will return to play. Supported by his wife, Annie (Amy Madigan), he plows away
his family's livelihood and constructs a baseball field--complete with lights! His neighbors think he's crazy but--would you believe it?--Jackson (an unintentionally sinister-looking Ray Liotta) does indeed appear as the harbinger of an incredible assemblage of ghosts of all-stars past. However,
nobody but Kinsella and his family can see these baseball greats. With his farm threatened by bankruptcy, Kinsella is mysteriously led to Boston's Fenway Park, and to a burned-out radical novelist (James Earl Jones) who may hold the key to the mystery.
If any movie of its decade begged to be called Capraesque, it is FIELD OF DREAMS, a sappy, good-naturedly dopey paean to traditional family values and nostalgia for innocent pleasures. The most powerful element of the movie is its trendy exploitation of men's yearning to bond with their fathers.
For many people, particularly at the peak of the late-80s "Men's Movement," this was irresistible stuff; others were left cold by its manipulative, "Twilight Zone"-style fabulism. Ultimately, the film relies too heavily on consensual acceptance of baseball iconography as some kind of symbolic
shorthand for all kinds of American values. These days, most of us prefer the NBA. leave a comment

Five things I learned about The BPM Festival
Disclaimer: I was only at The BPM Festival for three full days and was insanely sick for one of them. My observations come from a very small sample of what's become a pretty massive global event.
1- Playa Del Carmen is a much better party destination than Miami
The fact I only stepped into a taxi to go to and come from the airport is enough to give Playa Del Carmen the edge for me. You can travel to Tulum or to the forest events if you choose, but all you really need is a short walk away from wherever you are. And who minds walking when you're in such a beautiful tropical location with amazing weather (something never guaranteed in Miami in March)? Paying half the price for drinks is another major plus for Playa over South Beach. Not feeling raped every time you order a drink is an excellent feeling when you're on a clubbing vacation.
2. BPM is all about the day parties
La Santanera was a nice spot for the INTIMATE & UNDERGROUND concept. It has great sound, a pro booth and a cozy dance floor. The problem with our event was that it was inside at night. When there's sunshine and a beach available, that's where our funky house beats should be played. And coming from a cold climate, I felt ripped when I slept the next morning away. The vibe, energy and visual of a day event in Playa is absolutely epic. If we're lucky enough to be invited back next year, that's where I hope we can make the magic happen (at Canibal Royal to be exact).
3. The BPM Festival is a massive "party!"
I could complain about the quality of a lot the mixing and a lack of programming. I could even get into the subjective genre argument and the suitability of the music for the environment (okay, maybe I just did), but one thing I cannot debate is the enormity of the party both in numbers and energy. The BPM crew brought it big time! I enjoyed myself at every event, whether I was into the music or not. And as you can see by the sea of people trying to get into Blue Parrot on the first Saturday night, A LOT of people share my excitement for something Ibiza-like on this side of the pond (click the pic for a larger size).
4. To be successful in today's EDM you need to have a gang with a brand
This is the most important lesson I learned throughout the entire experience. DJ's used to be the most prominent names on a flyer, nowadays, it's the name of a party, label or some other community. The music doesn't necessarily need to be cohesive, just the image. Electronic music is now mainstream. Even if your sound is underground, you need to play by commercial rules. It's quantity over quality, style over substance; however, if you can achieve all four, the sky's the limit. That's our goal for 2013.
5. Take your shots BEFORE you go to Mexico
I have next to no pics of my trip, because quite frankly, I wasn't up for much. I began to feel weak after my first full day in Playa, and by Day 2, the day of our event, I became violently ill with a strand of the Norwalk virus. I was trapped in my room the entire day. If it wasn't for a shot of antibiotics and another shot of B12 administered by a house-music-loving MD, I would have missed the only party I was at the festival for. With so many people shaking hands, hugging and talking ear to ear, it was a miracle if you didn't get sick. Next year I'll definitely take the shot before I get on that plane.
Sasha at Stereo
I've waited over a decade to write the above title. I can't believe Sasha's never been booked at Stereo before. Thankfully, the wait's almost over. This Friday the puppet master finally steps into the booth of the world's coolest club and I'm convinced it'll be a killer combo.
Back in the day, trips to Montreal were as given as nights out at the Guvernment, but of course, always better. I can't tell you how many times we drove six CDs to either Stereo or Aria, danced for 10-plus hours, and then headed right back home. The parties and music were so damn good we couldn't even imagine missing one of the big ones.
Sasha's Airdrawndagger appearance at Aria in 2002 definitely stands out from the rest. I've told the stories and shared these videos hundreds of times. It was one of the few occasions on the dance floor where I could honestly say I was completely at the mercy of the DJ. It was so exhilarating I spent most of the night / morning jumping, not dancing. It was the perfect music and warmest vibe inside one of the underground's most spectacular spaces. The right time, place and DJ were all there in equal parts that magical night.
But for as incredible as it was, I always wondered if Sasha at Stereo would be better.
Aria had a fantastic glass booth allowing for a bird's eye view of the talent in action. The retractable light stacks on the ceiling, and others imbedded in the floor, created a breathtaking glow. However the sound, though good, couldn't ever touch Stereo's. And because of the hip hop room upstairs, the crowd was never truly underground.
Until the recent renos, Stereo's décor was nothing to brag about. It used to be a sound box and nothing more. But that was enough. Stereo waves pour over top of you. You don't feel a digital pound in your chest like you do in other inferior clubs. You're never worn out by vibration, your ears never ring and you never lose your voice amongst the warmth of Stereo's sound. The unimpressive look of the space was easily overlooked by the perfection of the system.
Today however, the club is classy. It's everything I've ever wanted in an underground space. It's big enough to host a DJ of Sasha's stature, but still maintains a tight, intimate vibe. The existence of a proper chill-out area just outside the action, but close enough to be on top of the party (literally), is much appreciated by us, the more experienced. It's an absolute bonus for it to be as comfortable as it is.
We've only experienced the new Stereo once, and that was for Danny Tenaglia last summer. The music was crap, but seeing the new style instils a level of anticipation for Friday night that I can hardly handle. I haven't been this excited for an event close to home since the Sasha & Digweed / Spooky / Sander party at the Pepsi Centre in 2007, and we all know how freakishly insane that night turned out to be.
Yes, Sasha's let us down as much as he's impressed us, but from the short amount of time I've been around him, I know he's more like us than most superstar DJs. He also finds inspiration in the music and space. If we're not feeling it in a club like This is London, you know a guy like him, with the best view of the sketch, is probably seeing it the same way. At Stereo he should not lack sources of inspiration, and that's why we'll be up front and centre soaking it all in one more time.
Brazilian Club Tour 2011 || MOB Festival 05
Three months planning and over ten hours flying to find something fresh and funky and we often ended up with much of the same… but always better.
In our continuous quest to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right people – our recipe for a memorable clubbing experience – an abbreviated version of the btb crew packed their medium-size luggage (except for Danilo) and headed south for the warm vibes of the Brazilian dance music scene.
Our crew of six included two gals, four guys, four mainstays and two new recruits, bringing a few different perspectives to the party. We hit up three distinct environments, a lounge, a boat party (to the extreme) and a good ole club party. The events were everything: intense, spectacular, cheesy, breathtaking, fun, frustrating and most definitely memorable.
In many ways the Brazil scene mirrors what we have here in North America. The masses are into commercial electro or dark techno. Underground house is still pretty niche. Too their own account, the warm up DJs are usually much fresher and focused than the headliners.
Where the scene differs from ours is in the prominence it has within the everyday culture of Brazilian people. There are billboards promoting DJs and clubs in cities of all different sizes and you can hear electronic sounds in public places everywhere. EDM is a real part of all of Brazil, not just in the big cities like it is here.
Check out the pics: part 1 || part 2 and read the full story to check out our vids.
Caught in the Mau5 trap
Before: In a few hours I'll hear Deadmau5 for the first time, live to air on Much Music at the Masonic Temple studio courtesy of my friend Tracy who did the publicity for the event. I'm quite intrigued by what I'm about to experience. I couldn't trainspot a Deadmau5 track to save my life, but it's going to be cool to see what this phenomenon is all about in an INTIMATE & COMMERCIAL setting.
See, I'm still the kind of guy who longs for the days where DJs made their money through the clubs and producers cashed in on the charts. If you could do both, you were a destined star. If you were only skilled in one of the two aspects, you were pretty much in the game strictly for the love.
Unfortunately, producers now dominate the dance floor; whether you can properly rock a room or not, you're shit out of luck if Pete Tong isn't playing your original cut. Add a marketing hook – for instance a pair of over-sized ears – and all you need to make it on DJ Mag's Top 100 is a big phat electro track or some stripped down techno with your name on it. How it sounds in the mix (or not) doesn't really matter, because let's face it, flow and direction are so 2002. Look ridiculous in a few promo shots and you're well on your way to being a sure fire hit.
I guess I'll hear and see the winning formula up close and personal tonight.
After: Well I'm relieved about one thing: all my shit talk wasn't just shit talk. The entire event was actually worse than I thought. The music was incredibly horrible and the production was absolutely sensational. My worst nightmare comes true.
Deadmau5′s music is simple and unimpressive. His first half hour was nothing more than banging noise. The rest of it was generic electro trance. Anyone with any knowledge of music production could piece together his sound. It's tailor made for the untrained ear. Fortunately for him, there are lot of those mau5 ears up front and centre soaking up his cheesy energy to fuel their party.
Then there's the corporate planet – the accessories to the crime – playing this crap off as the "best there is" with such an elaborate production. I get it, the mouse ears are marketable. Kids (and subsequently their parents) are buying it. His stage and light show are absolutely incredible and they even do an amazing job making that wacked thing on his head look ultra-cool. Deadmau5 truly puts on a Grammy-like performance and that makes money.
But put bluntly, the music sucks and I don't feel he's earned the fame. Unlike the likes of Luke, Nick Holder and Carlo Lio, buddy hasn't paid his dues and worked the Toronto circuit as these guys have for many, many years. Let alone they make and play out music ten times the quality. I compare it to the hard working blues artist who's been entertaining lounges for years with passionate tunes and is forced to watch Bieber Mania run wild after a couple half rate YouTube videos go viral. It's just not right.
It is what it is and I guess we have to live with it. Just as we've endured years of Tiesto we'll have to deal with people thinking Deadmau5 is a DJ (which he's not). I'm sure he'll be around for just as long as he seems just as popular. On a positive tip, kids are one step closer to real DJ culture by being exposed to any type of electronic music. We can only hope over time some on these fanatics escape the trap and trade their mau5 ears in for more musical ones.
Underground Redemption
Just when I thought it might be winding down, the passion I feel for the underground seems to fire up again. See, I'm approaching a crossroads, a point in my life where I need to begin to focus all of my energies on only the important things in my professional life. Now I just need to figure out what it is that's important in my professional life.
I've come to grips, many times, that EDM is not where I see myself in 5-10-20 years. I've always said that it's too unprofessional, too random an industry to spend the rest of my life trying to make a difference and earn an honest, secure living. But really, is EDM any different from the corporate world I find myself in now? Truly, no matter the profession, isn't the secret to professional success about choosing to work with people you respect in an environment that's inspiring?
INTIMATE & UNDERGROUND is a great example of getting the most out of the choices we make (Check our pics from I&U v8). We've stayed true to the underground essence, embraced it for what it is and have never tried to make it anything more than what it should be. And by doing so, we're creating unforgettable memories each time we fill the dance floor.
Now we're well aware the true tests are yet to come. Will we be able to recreate the electricity of our gigs headlined by Luke & Ricky with lesser known, up and coming artists? That's always been our primary focus and in the end, our success will be measured on how many people come to bringthebeats / INTIMATE & UNDERGROUND events, not just for any one particular DJ.
And will we be able to properly launch The LocALe and finally become a recognizable group within the Toronto club circuit? As mentioned in the promo piece for v1, our long term success throwing events and introducing new talent to this city will be implicitly tied to our ability to attract local support from others working behind the scenes.
Over the next few months these questions will definitely be answered and the results will be one of the deciding factors in whether or not we should take bringthebeats to a full time level.
Saying all this, it's the global effort that still excites me the most. How can it not coming off such an incredible Winter Music Conference in Miami (Check our pics Part 1 & Part 2). Damn was the music ever incredible and once again we met an abundance of like-minded, equally motivated colleagues.
Our friends from Embrace have definitely become a power house at the WMC, but it's the detail, vision and enthusiasm of the Listed crew that has once again impressed me the most. They work so bloody hard and it shows in the quality of the music, production and most of all, the people on the dance floor.
Yes, the conference is starting to look quite a bit like a Jersey Shore pilgrimage, but that also means more of the mainstream is taking notice. We all most likely entered this scene with a style that we're not as much interested in today. Let's hope these people similarly convert to a less party focused participation and help the continue growth of the more underground sounds we believe should be at the forefront of this industry.
All in all, things are more positive for our movement than they've been in a long time. Looking back to my last IMO over 18 months ago, I think bringthebeats and the underground have taken more steps forward than in reverse, a tone I was definitely not writing in back in the fall of 2008.
It remains to be seen how the rest of the year will unfold, but whatever happens, one thing is for certain, 2010 is shaping up to be an all or nothing year for bringthebeats. Is it time to follow a dream or is it time to move on? Only time will tell; but the last few weeks has me looking more towards the stars now than ever before.
Letting it out
It's been a struggle getting this column off the ground. I've been hanging in underground clubs for almost nine full years and have seemingly a lifetime of DJ culture and partying to shoot my mouth off about. Over that amount of time I've accumulated an abundance of in my opinion's, making brainstorming for v.1 super confusing.
However, Alex's stellar debut of Holologic was motivation enough to just get started and see what flows out of this annoyingly overactive brain of mine. I've broken the process' success down to bottling up a little of the passion (aka obsession) so that I don't come off sounding too bitter and / or pretentious.
Because being misunderstood is always what I've been afraid of when posting reviews or making any type of critical comment on the web. I honestly love the scene more than most other aspects of my life; nevertheless, the club industry has become an incredible nuisance in so many ways. So much so that when I get on about my experiences, I too often find myself speaking in a very unbecoming tone. I definitely don't want negativity to be the basis of my conversations and most certainly not this website.
But on the other hand, for the sake of my sanity and the longevity of my involvement in the underground scene, it's imperative I let out some of this pent up frustration. I figure there's no better place than the space we pay for to go off about all the shady and just plain ignorant moves I see taking place in the club world. For way too long I've watched the powers that be do very little to nurture the credibility of dance music.
It's all the nagging behind the scenes bullshit that fuels this criticism. I guess to some extent it's the disappointment we feel for the current state of the club scene that has us still working so crazily on the entire bringthebeats project. Because trust me, we'd all much rather be the crew that just shows up on the dance floor each week, drink in hand, smile on face, stress left at the door… oh man I miss those early Breathe days.
But the unfortunate truth is that the widespread perception of our culture is most certainly not underground. And its the businesses at the top of the scene who are th most to blame. Who would have ever thought bottle service and house music would be found under the same roof? That dudes with less CDJ skill than my girlfriend would be headlining festivals with their farting basslines and cheese ball electro? What happened to tight mixing? Fluid programming? Proper journeys on the dance floor? To club promoters who are actually into the music?
Our motivation to create something special on the web and in the clubs stems from the mainstream's warped impression of what true EDM lovers do. However we're CONVINCED the magic isn't lost forever, and we know this scene can appeal to the mainstream without becoming commercial. We download two to three sets each week that blow our mind. If the clubbing corps would just give the new breed a chance again, the fresh talent on the peripheral of the industry would drive dance floors absolutely crazy. It would be a true house.music.re-evolution.
Instead, almost all the gigs continue to go to the legends. The ones that simply work through the motions to collect their fee. Promoters have stopped making it about the music and have concentrated soley on who can get the most people through the doors and into a drunk immediately. The same circuit of DJs dominate our clubs and it kills me. If I wanted to hear the same music over and over again, I'd listen to rock and roll.
So if you continue to read this column, think of it as constructive hostility. It's my way of telling it like it is, under the pretence that it's absolutely, 100% my opinion and nobody else's (some days it seems that way). But if you do happen to agree with what I write here, please come to our parties.
Luke and Brad at Footwork – That's how it's done!
It's all about making a party live up to the hype for the promoter, DJ and floor. This past Saturday, when Brad Copeland and Luke Fair once again displayed how a perfect night of house music should be put together, it happened.
Mad family obligations delayed my arrival until just after Luke stepped up, but from what I heard after the show and through text messages during his set; Brad 'warmed the room proper.'
Someone so skilled is essential for the overall success of a night like this. Luke plays such a distinct style from what most headliners play in this market right now and only a multi facetted talent like Brad can prepare the floor for such a unique experience.
When I walked in the room at 1am the place was sizzling, thanks to Brad.
After playing his last two sets in Toronto in a bar, not a club, it was amazing to finally have Luke in an underground space. And let me tell you he delivered like never before in this more appropriate environment.
Straight up, this was a top five set I've ever heard. Probably my all time favourite from Luke, this might even push it into the top two.
His programming is absolutely flawless. Few move a room so deliberately… maybe Danny Howells or Sasha and Digweed when all the stars are aligned? He weaves in and out of genres and never loses pace; I've have to assume that's super tough to do.
Luke's 'filler' builds so much tension and intensity, the peak tracks go off with four times their natural force. All the tracks are so deep, smooth and sexy, even when they're driving and deadly. It's accessible underground house music, my favourite for sure.
The night was so amazing we could barely catch our breath to stop and take a couple shots. But we did manage to take a few good snaps that'll help trigger the memories of this hard to forget event.
Hope you had a great birthday Anthony and Isabelle and thank you Brad, Luke and Footwork. We needed one like this.
Sasha & Digweed, Sander and Spooky | Pepsi Centre, Montreal
Up until last Friday I had succumb to the fact that these kinds of parties just didn't exist anymore, at least not close to us here in Toronto. But Montreal's Tribe Hyperclub crew came through BIG TIME with this one, reconfirming that with the right talent and production, the underground scene is still alive and kicking in Canada.
Being an old, line-up weary crew, we arrived very early and were able to catch virtually all of Spooky's opening set… which was absolutely fantastic! Digital progressive; bumpy yet methodical, Charlie May and Duncan Forbes were ultra impressive. One in our posse thought it was the best set of the night and in many senses, I can't disagree.
I'd love to know what Spooky was doing up there. The 'Live' label should come with a program at the front door describing exactly what the set-up is. Nevertheless, this was our second time hearing the duo in 2007 and this appearance was every bit as cool as their DJ set at the WMC Proton Party in Miami.
I thought Sasha and Digweed were equally spectacular. Sasha played the most unique music; twisted, techy and very industrial sounding. Digweed definitely played the dance music out of the two; deep, driving and extremely groovy selections. I agree with some in our crew that the back to back session became a little stop and go, but that comes with the territory when you're sharing the decks…. and only spinning MEGA BOMBS!!!
For as much as I'll always have a soft spot for Sander, I don't think he scored many points with the music heads when he opened with a Prince remix. From what I heard of the first hour and a half of his set, he didn't dig too deep into the commercial cheese. He continued to move the room and sounded a little closer to his old, more underground form.
Huge props to the Tribe crew for the production of this event. The party was further evidence that great big room memories can still be made in this scene. The sound, though a smidgen too loud, filled the room with crystal clear precision. The stage presentation was incredible and the light show breathe taking.
The whole event was fueled by the booking of two DJs that in my opinion remain head and shoulders above the rest. Sasha & Digweed play the allusive bombs that seem tailor made to their styles. I'm certain these tracks are produced with only each of them in mind. Their styles contrast but perfectly connect at the same time. They seem to be getting better with time… I absolutely love it.
This was an extremely inspiring night for a promoter who is doing his best to recapture the 'wow' factor in his clubbing life. I dream of hosting an event of this magnitude and pray one day bringthebeats will because Toronto deserves a party that reaches the legendary status this one definitely achieved.

About Us
Press Room

From John Murray, Letters and Sketches of Sermons, (Boston, 1812), as quoted in David B. Parke's book, The Epic of Unitarianism.
John Murray, a Methodist preacher from England, is often credited with being the founding father of Universalism in America. In his memoirs, Murray recounts the following story of his encounter with a deacon.
Deacon: I have heard much of you, and have come many miles to see and converse with you. Will you be so obliging as to permit me to ask a few questions?
Murray: Readily, Sir.
Deacon: I have heard—but I do not pay much regard to slanderous reports; nothing of that sort is to be depended upon— But I have heard— Excuse me, Sir, I really hope you will not be angry, but indeed, Sir, I have heard, I have been told, that you preached Universal Salvation, that is, that all mankind will be saved.
Murray: Well, Sir, as you seem to be an honest man, I will freely own to you, that God hath told me, "That he sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved."
Deacon: Aye, the believing world.
Murray: No, Sir; the world are never called believers, nor believers the world.
(Aside to audience) The Deacon then proceeded to mention a variety of scriptures that proved, as the poor man believed, the damnation of the greatest part of the world, and I answered him from the same scriptures: At last, I mention that very obnoxious text, "As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive."
Deacon: Aye, Sir, all that believe.
Murray: No, Sir, all who died in Adam.
Deacon: But, how can they be made alive in Christ without believing?
Murray: As well as they could die in Adam without believing. There are a very great multitude among mankind, who do not believe they died in Adam; and as they do not believe they died in Adam, then they did not die in Adam.
Deacon: O yes, Sir, they died in Adam, whether they believe it or not.
Murray: How can they, Sir, die in Adam without believing they did?
Deacon: Because the word of God declares, "they died in Adam," and that must be true whether they believe it or not.
Murray: But, Sir, the same word of God says, all shall be made alive in Christ; and yet you say it is only those who believe, that shall be made alive!
(Concluding, to the audience) This silenced the old gentleman, and thus ended our conversation; but another and another succeeded, until half past two o'clock, when I proceeded to a more public delivery of my testimony.

The holidays may be over, but in New York, temperatures continue to drop. As tempted as I am to wear sweats and bundle up in my hideous (albeit extremely warm) parka, there are some occasions that call for looking a bit more sophisticated. For those times, I'm turning to the following for inspiration!
I love this menswear-inspired, double jacket look. With navies and neutrals, it looks super sharp and I'm sure is plenty warm!
This monochromatic yet multi-textured look is extremely cool and, with all it's layers, looks so cozy.
This long, wooly coat and massive knit fringe sweater is the ultimate comfy chic! Right up my alley.
Lovelies, what do you do to stay warm and stylish in the winter?

mulligan machine shirts and stickers finally
i started a store for quite a few designs i have been sitting on for a while, so buy em up!
also, let me know if you got any special requests....
mulligan machine swag
boylecomm or BCM
the sr500 posted below was built by a guy named kim. he is a true craftsman with an eye for aesthetic and function combined to make one killer scoot. i checked out his blog, and it's got some rad content within as well. see for yourself....
within his blog was found another kickass website.
xs650 karate part 2 : new bars
fenderless xs650
this bike is straight up gangster boogie, unlike any other xs650 i have seen without being retarded. drink in the details, there are quite a few.
rd400 with multiple personalities
Blacksmith Cycles showed this little gem over at the TCU, and i just couldn't resist passing on a pile of gold for your viewing pleasure.
" Here's the pedigree:
77 RD400, Suzuki T500 tank, Evo Sporty front end, PM 6 piston front caliper, early 70's Sporty hoops, cut down Softail rear hub. The heads are cut for compression and this winter it gets a full port job. Loud as fuck and fast as hell!!!"
UPDATE : xs650 post from june
here are some words about the bike from the owners blog:
"I promised to show my motorcycle build, so here it is. It took me a long time to build, because when I started this project I was WAY under qualified. That didn't stop me from learning to weld and fabricate enough to do the job though. So far it has stayed in one piece - even at highway speeds (+).
This bike was my reaction to wanting an antique bike but not being able to afford one. I figured I'd make my own version. It started life as a 1977 Yamaha 650xs and I quickly cut the frame up and began making it into what is is now. Most of the parts were originally on another machine - be it a motorcycle, tractor, truck etc...
Some would call it a "chopper" and technically I did chop it, but others would call it a "bobber" style. I just call it the most fun I've ever had on a motorcycle. You dig?"

The ping-pong arguments which can only repeat 'I'm right, you are wrong'claims take none of us very much further forward. If the three supposedly popular parties don't want a referendum and don't want to contemplate life outside EU it isn't likely to happen UNLESS UKIP wins significant representation in Westminster. It is challenging to picture that happening based on current performance. At a local level UKIP needs to be about it's business preparing itself and the electorate for the next general election. Candidates need a stronger local identity than they have right now, or have ever had. I wise man once told me that people buy people first and only then whatever it is they're selling. It's a basic sales principle which UKIP ignores at it's peril.(NB: some people refuse to buy from gocompare simply because they dislike the image offered by adverts!). I believe we need to rise above the idea that Farage = UKIP and to think in terms of UKIP = my local candidate. The party is pretty much toothless until it wins representation at Westminster,

Michael from MK is absolutely spot on with his comments. I worked in a sales environment for years and the over-riding principle was that you had to sell yourself to the customer first and your product was secondary to that. People have to believe in you in the first instance then everything follows on from that. When I first stood for a Borough Councillor I came across two people who were vehemently against Ukip but told me they would vote for me because they knew I would actively campaign on their behalf on any local issues they were not happy with. Although I was not elected at the time I am still approached by people in my village on local issues, even asked to be an Honorary Chairman of a local campaign. Thus, selling yourself first speaks for itself.

I totally agree with both Michael's and Rosemary's comments that 'people buy people'- as I too was taught this very early in my career and it taught me an awful lot. I beg to differ with Michael's comment that UKIP's chances of winning significant representation in Westminister.
I like many, many others have been put off politics by the constant childish name calling we see only too often on the TV and media. I know if I had ever behaved like this in any business meeting or negotiations, I would have been kicked out the door very promptly! It's shocking to see the people who are supposed to run our country can behave so unprofessionally and inspires little confidence.
UKIP, however have been a very refreshing change, their presence, particularly on You Tube has given the public not only a voice, but also the truth and has fought tirelessly in the face of adversity to get that message out to us.
Watching Nigel in debate, he is fascinating and makes no apologies for saying what needs to be said. I too, wondered about the other UKIP members, but curiosity aroused, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a true, 'British Bulldog spirit' in each and every one of the UKIP MEP's I have seen so far. Watching them in action is a sense of relief to feel someone is out there fighting for us, is educational and quite addictive when you see how they work. They ALL go in, properly prepared with their subjects researched, facts and figures to hand and are knowledgeable, which is far more than I can say for Cameron who had to have deficit and debt explained to him last week or Milliband who shocked his party by blurting out he would NOT offer a referendum, Clegg implying that the British Public were not fit to know what we would be voting for!
You only need to look around the many media sites on political articles to see the outrage, anger (at all 3 main parties), sense of betrayal, promises to never trust Cameron who has already reneged on previous promises. People educating each other, knowledge and understanding being shared, links being shared, petitions being signed, along with massive support for UKIP, many having joined UKIP and promises to vote for them in every election!
The electorate have finally woken from their slumber and they are NOT happy!
Michael, I do very much agree that UKIP need to jump on this pretty quickly and if they do - you may well be very surprised come the 2014 & 2015 elections!
As Churchill said "If Britain has to choose between Europe and the open Sea, she must always choose the Open Sea"!

I so appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments.
Thank YOU.
This morning, while Addie was in the tub I was next door in her bedroom, working on a surprise.
She kept saying, "Mom working on purprise?"
The whole thing took 15 minutes to put up.
It's a set of woodland decals from Target.
When Addie saw her tree, she asked, "paint?"
I said, nope … giant stickers.
She then proceeded to touch as many as she could, saying each time "sticker."
The set has plenty of adorable decals to use in different places.
I've saved some because I'm not done with this picture wall — I'll show you the whole thing when it's finished!
but seriously, how cute!

PaaS start-up Appfog (formerly PHP Fog) fresh-off attracting 20k PHP developers and this year is contributing PHP as a language to the Cloud Foundry project. They are also launching a new service, Appfog.com, based on the Cloud Foundry open source code, giving them outstanding experience working with both PHP and Cloud Foundry code. This more or less appears like many birds in one shot. VMWare with this becomes a knwoledge base for PHP literally from not having any expertise.
The first version of Micro Cloud Foundry supports popular, high-productivity programming frameworks and application services including:
- Spring for Java
- Ruby on Rails and Sinatra
- Node.js
- Grails and other JVM-based frameworks including Scala Lift
- MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis application services
- VMware plans to include support for additional VMware vFabric services in future versions of Micro Cloud Foundry
The unexpected pace at which VMWare is going with, to simplify everything for the developers life on cloud will be watched carefully by its legacy rivals like Google, Microsoft and other PAAS providers. The interest in Cloud Foundry.com continues to grow with the number of beta users more than doubling and the number of applications more than tripling since the offering was unveiled in April 2011. Cloud Foundry.org has already received hundreds of material contributions from the open source community, including additional frameworks and languages such as Erlang, JRuby, PHP and Python as well as data services such as Neo4J.

Cleverly disguised within a neoclassic modern industrial warehouse at the western tip of the Santa Ynez Valley, Avant Tapas & Wine entices guests with an amazing variety of wines, local artisan cuisine, and lots of ways to have a good time.
Tucked in a quiet spot, just two miles south of the flag pole in downtown Los Olivos, Beckmen Vineyards has spent the last two decades earning its reputation as one of the nation's premier producers of Rhône varietals.
Those familiar with the Santa Ynez Valley's finest wines realize they've come across something special: the tiny tasting room where renowned Winemaker Blair Fox and his wife Sarah pour their family's own boutique wines.
Long before the words "sustainable" and "organic" were part of the common vernacular, they were ardently practiced at Buttonwood Estate.
John and Sandra Zahoudanis founded Demetria Estate in 2005, to uphold John's Greek heritage and family tradition of farming and careful stewardship of the land.
Fess Parker's dreams are realized in the Fess Parker Winery, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, and the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn located in the heart of nearby Los Olivos.
The epitome of entrepreneurial spirit and family tradition, Firestone Vineyard was the first major estate winery founded in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Backed by stunning vistas of the Santa Ynez Mountains, Foley Estates Vineyard & Winery is the realization of vintner Bill Foley's dream to produce world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Aptly located on the elegant front courtyard of the Bacara Resort & Spa, the captivating tasting room of Foley Food & Wine Society inspires guests to pursue their passion for wine, food, and travel.
A strong sense of pride and family define Grassini Family Vineyard as a premier wine destination in the Santa Barbara County.
The vineyards of Lucas & Lewellen have fast become legendary for lovers of distinctive premium wines from Santa Barbara County.
Nestled against the northern flank of the Santa Ynez Mountains and just south of the Santa Ynez River, Refugio Ranch is a splendid, rustic 415-acre estate dotted with oak trees and 26 strategically planted vineyard acres.
In 2012, visionary Roger Bower purchased "the jewel in the crown" of the ranch, the 100-acre Crown Point Vineyard, and set out to craft the best wines possible.
Robin Bogue, founder of William James Cellars, puts a lot of energy into getting wines the attention they deserve.
Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards is dedicated to making distinctive wines with an emphasis on quality and environmental responsibility.
Joe has put in plenty of overtime—some 25 years—crafting his Burgundian-style California wines. He employs the authentic Burgundian methods when making his wines.
From its gracious grounds to its ever-evolving collection of Central Coast wines, Bridlewood Estate Winery is not to be missed.
Since its inception ten years ago, Carina Cellars continues to exemplify Ralph Waldo Emerson's belief, "Life is a journey, not a destination."
Pioneering local vintners Brooks and Kate Firestone established Curtis Winery in 1995 as one of California's first wineries dedicated exclusively to the production of Rhône-style wines.
Collectively, Bruno D'Alfonso and Kris Curran of D'Alfonso Curran have enjoyed nearly 50 years as winemakers.
The name Dierberg & Star Lane Vineyards clearly speaks to the philosophy that great wines grow in unique vineyards.
Ardison Phillips, the proprietor and winemaker of McKeon-Phillips Winery, was aptly named. He is an internationally recognized artist whose paintings hang in major museums throughout the world.
Palmina embraces wonderful lifestyle and attitude toward food, wine, friends, and family, where they share a strong conviction that wine should simply be an extension of the plate.
Riverbench Vineyards & Winery is famous for the distinctive flavors of its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Nestled in an oak-studded 40-acre vineyard in beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, Roblar Winery & Vineyards, its 5,000-square-foot tasting room, and the cooking school were designed by world famous architect Bob Easton.
Sanford Winery & Vineyards planted the first Pinot Noir vines in the heart of the Santa Rita Hills, a region now heralded for that varietal.
In a pure celebration of terroir, technique, and variety, The Bench opened its doors in the quaint town of Los Olivos.
Established in 1985, Whitcraft produces the highest quality wines.
From its earliest days, the Zaca Mesa Winery has cultivated superior quality grapes from its well-drained Santa Ynez Valley soils.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

For most of Nick Fauber's life, spending time outdoors meant puttering around a golf course. That was before his cousin, Chris, convinced him to give hunting a try.
The first time the Hillsboro, Ohio, golfer traded his clubs for a shotgun, back in 2007, he shot a doe. Chris and Rob Shipley, Nick's brother-in-law, took him under their wings.
While scouting prior to the 2008 gun opener, Nick and Rob stumbled across a huge scrape on Nick's parents' 60-acre Highland County farm. They set up a trail camera the weekend before Thanksgiving and checked it the Friday afterward.
While reviewing the photos, the guys were first surprised to see pictures of Chris cutting firewood.
Their cousin, aware that he was being photographed, even posed for them - time-stamped: 3:30. A couple of hours after Chris left, a monstrous buck was mugging for the camera.
None of the guys had any idea a buck of that magnitude was living on the farm.
Nick and Rob bowhunted the place that evening and saw nothing.
They couldn't return during the weekend.
On Monday, opening day of the weeklong firearms season, all three guys hunted the farm, though nobody ventured too close to where the photos of the big buck were taken. The wind was brutal.
Nick returned to work on Tuesday, but his mind was at the farm.
The weather was clear with little to no breeze. Around noon, he couldn't stand it any longer. He called his brother-in-law to see if he wanted to accompany him.
Although Rob had planned to hunt in neighboring Ross County that evening, he agreed.
When they arrived at the farm, Rob headed for a place next to a picked soybean field. Nick chose a wooded draw closer to where the big buck had been photographed.
The trek to his stand was slow because sounds were amplified in the stillness.
It was after 3:00 when Nick settled in for the rest of the afternoon.
Around 4:25, three does appeared on the ridge in front of him. While watching them, he happened to look to the right and spotted a small 6-point buck at the edge of the creek. And not far behind it was a bigger buck.
Nick was stunned. He hoped the buck was the one that had stepped in front of the trail camera, but he couldn't be sure because the deer was facing him.
The photos had been taken as the buck was walking away.
As the huge whitetail closed the distance from 100 yards, a million thoughts rushed through Nick's head.
His heart was pounding wildly when he recognized the turned-downed main beams and drop tines as the buck paused to look at the 6-pointer. That's when he realized it was the buck they'd photographed.
While Nick's attention was on the big buck, the 3x3 wandered down the creek bed and was directly behind Nick's tree.
The three does he'd first seen on the ridge were 10 yards in front of him.
Nick knew that if the big buck followed its junior, he wouldn't get a shot. It was too thick.
"Please come to the does," he pleaded.
With his 20 gauge, a gift from his brother-in-law, shouldered, Nick watched as the behemoth paused at the creek for a quick drink.
Afterward, the buck started toward the does.
When the deer stopped at 40 yards and presented a quartering-to target, Nick touched the trigger.
Immediately afterward, Nick called Rob and exclaimed, "I got the big one!"
After hanging up, he called his wife, Cathy, dad, uncle and cousin.
Within minutes, everyone stood in the woods sharing celebratory hugs and high-fives while admiring the magnificent specimen.
