This wasn't even the 1st time he died! If you've watched Office Space, you should be familiar with their most famous song, "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta". Geto Boys were early leaders in the Houston hip-hop scene. Lots of great songs. RIP, Richard Stephen Shaw. bigg jay 1

The south, in general, didn't have much of a nationwide presence in hip hop until the Geto Boys (2 Live Crew would be the exception to this). Very influential. I've had "Mind playing tricks on me" running through my head all morning, especially Bill's verse. Still one of my favorites. JCon 1

Still awaiting confirmation but twitter is reporting: Janet Arnott, local curler who won the Scotties 3 times (medallist 9 times, including 3 silver and 3 bronze) and a World Championship in 1984 (medallist 3 times, including one silver and one bronze) with Connie Laliberte (her sister), then went on to play with Cathy Overton-Clapham, and finished her playing career with Jennifer Jones' rink in 2007, appearing in her last Scotties, where she earned her 4th bronze medal (and 10th overall). Lost in the finals of the Olympic Curling trials for Calgary in 1988. Then went on to coach Jennifer Jones' squad starting in 2008, and helped them get to 7 more Scottie tournaments, winning 3 times (in 2008, 09, and 10, and winning the World Championship in 2008. Won the Olympic trials in 2013 and the Olympic Gold Medal in Sochi in 2014, after which she retired from coaching the team. Edited June 27, 2019 by TrueBlue4ever JCon 1
