It is official. Every April 15th for the rest of man-kind will be known as “National Venting Day” also known as the day Coors Brewing Company added an important feature to their wide-mouth cans to increase pouring efficiency. The perfect way to reward all of us hard working men on tax day. The invention of the vent is an industry first and reinforces Coors Light’s continuing commitment to providing beer drinkers the best way to enjoy the “World’s Most Refreshing Beer.”

 The reason for the small air vent is to create a more smooth pour decreasing the head of most regular cans of beer.
“The Vented Wide Mouth is the latest step in our attempt to create a can that drinks like a frosty glass. On Tax Day, we’re giving beer drinkers a better way to Vent”,  vice president Lee Dolan says.

If CEO Bill Coors had the innovative idea to actually invent the aluminum can, we should congradulate him on inventing the “vent”.  A wider- mouth, silver package, and less head; what more could us consumers ask for while enjoying an adult beverage. Cheers to Coors!
 

Today marks the one year anniversary of the tragic events that led up to the deadliest shooting spree in U.S. History. On April 16, 2007 the nation was brought to its knees by what we all now know to be as the Virginia Tech Massacre. 32 innocent people consisting of students and faculty tragically lost their lives as a gunman invaded the campus.

Fumbled.org asks you to remember those who lost their lives or had their lives changed forever. Numerous remembrance ceremonies will be conducted throughout the day to honor the fallen students and faculty that courageously took their last breath on that dark and dreary day.

Cnn.com has posted a tribute of victims which can be seen here. Cnn Tribute  Take the time to click through an amazing salute and tribute.

I would like to extend my condolences to all of the friends and family members of the victims. As human beings we learn from and forgive the mistakes of others and move forward through the journey of life. Virginia Tech has chosen to move forward and most would say they have come along way within the last year. Many students had left the campus to continue their academic careers while other chose to stay. The Virginia Tech football team had a great season considering the recent situation. Golf team captain, and a junior at VT, Drew Weaver has made school history and will compete with Tiger Woods in this years “Masters”. Not a bad way to lift spirits.

The moral here is; no matter what there is hope, always live your life to the fullest day-by-day, appreciate your peers, friends, family and employees and most importantly let them all know you appreciate them.

I will end with a quote from “Alex Hitchens” (Hitch)…

Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away….

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — With a daughter serving in the military, Randy Shannon particularly understands the importance of supporting American troops.

He’ll fly a long way this spring to make that point.

Shannon is among five college football coaches who’ll head to Kuwait and other military bases in the Middle East this May to meet with U.S. troops and participate in some clinics. He’ll be joined by Notre Dame’s Charlie Weis, Georgia’s Mark Richt, Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville and Yale’s Jack Siedlecki.

The trip is scheduled from May 20-26.

“I’m thrilled to do it,” Shannon told The Associated Press Wednesday. “I mean, you get to go over and support the people over there in the military. And most of the coaches kind of know each other: Mark Richt attended the University of Miami, Tommy Tuberville coached with me, Charlie Weis I know from the NFL. Everybody’s excited about it and we’re going over to support the people that support us.”

Ok, so our troops need entertainment. Not a bad idea. Send them a few College football coaches and incorporate them in a few games of harmless football ran by the best. What I don’t understand is; why would you send Charlie Weis? With the way his 2007 season turned out he will most likely be picked last for teams. Demoralizing!

However, you can’t pick on him too much, he is doing a great thing by donating his time for a great cause. Stay safe coaches!
