Did you hear about the 19.2 pound baby boy born this week? ....

Checkout the our free suite in the fallsview casino hotel this week.

a Calgary writer tells a professional NHL tough guy to play fight .....

I hate Dion Phaneuf as much as anyone but for his poor defensive zone coverage, cocky attitude and high salary cap implications BUT never call him out for not fighting .. the guy fights WAY too much.

Dear NHL ref committee, just b/c a guy hits a guy which is in your rule book, the opposing team guy who attacks this person with his fists should automatically get a 5 min major with no penalty for the guy who hits the guy. This happens about every game, the opposing team tough guy fights with our "star" player b/c he legally hits someone and puts up his arms or pushes back and they get offsetting penalties.

This would be like in the NFL if Lawrence Taylor, linebacker hits a running back hard and then some fat O-lineman starts punching him and then LT grabs him and then the NFL refs call both for penalties and LT has to sit half the game b/c he "hit" someone too hard.

very romantic but its its about 1000 euros in Paris ... proposing on this would be classic b/c she would have to say yes because there is literally no way to run away and have the sheer embarassement and awkwardness of sitting in the middle of the sky with a bunch of strangers

So I rented State of Play last Labor Day but couldn't finish it before a BBQ so I returned it and rented it the next week and I put it in the player and it was at the same exact spot where I left it last week, about an hour in.

Surprisely good movie considering it had Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe.

the "rumor" was when we were kids was he spoke perfect english but pretended to have the fake chinese accent to make north american audiences relate to him better

Cool trip with Martin Yan !

Remember him ... the guy who taught chinese cooking on PBS when we were kids ...

Now you can go on a cooking vacation with him in Hong Kong .... too bad, we already did our big summer trip b/c this sounds pretty awesome. Its like going on vacation with one of the original iron chefs and going to their home country and and learning about the food and tasting it.

Liberty hotel in Boston ... it was a former prison ..... you can still see the former prison likeness in it.
