When I was in elementary school, before the world became so politically correct, we were allowed to share Valentine's Day cards and Necco Wafer candy hearts with the kids in our class. We made a lot of little girls very happy with the sugary hearts embossed with sayings like "Hot Stuff," "I Love You" and "Be Mine."
Nothing has really changed—both little girls and lovely ladies still love to get candy for Valentine's Day. The big dark (chocolate) secret is that little boys and big guys love to get gourmet chocolate as well.
Many creative people have written such wonderful words about love and Valentines and I wanted to include them in our Choclatique Love gourmet chocolate assortments for Valentine's Day. I tried for weeks to find some way to add words of love atop our beautifully tempered, hand-decorated and polished Valentine's hearts, but the two goals were incompatible. It was either beautiful, luscious chocolate or some sayings that didn't seem appropriate.
Even I am sometimes at a loss for words when it comes to Love… a lot of guys are. I did a little research to find out what others have said about Love to borrow a phase or two.
Here are some of the best I found…
I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.Amy Tan
The love we give away is the only love we keep.Elbert Hubbard
Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved."
Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love."
Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."

Posted on 04/17/2012 6:47:23 PM PDT by Steelfish
Secret Service Agents Took 20 Women To Colombian Hotel, Says Senator Susan Collins says director is pursuing 'vigorous internal investigation' as scandal triggers scrutiny of agency's culture
Karen McVeigh 17 April 2012 At least 20 women were brought back to a hotel in Colombia by secret service agents and military personnel who are now under investigation into allegations of misconduct involving prostitutes, according to a US senator.
Speaking after she was briefed by the director of the secret service, Susan Collins, the top Republican on the Senate homeland security committee, said on Tuesday: "There are 11 agents involved. Twenty or 21 women foreign nationals were brought to the hotel, but allegedly marines were involved with the rest."
A spokesman for the secret service told the Guardian that it had revoked the top security clearances of the 11 employees, who have been placed on administrative leave and can no longer access official facilities. A number of military personnel, believed to be as many as 10, were also allegedly involved in misconduct at the hotel in Cartagena where President Barack Obama was due to stay ahead of a summit.
A US official told Reuters on Monday that more than 10 military service members may have been involved.
The incident, which overshadowed Obama's visit to the summit in Colombia, has triggered scrutiny of a culture where, according to the Washington Post, married secret service agents joke during aircraft take-off that their motto is "wheels up, rings off". It has also prompted questions about discipline and leadership in the service.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Why would a liberal like Senator Collins have a problem with this?
Oh, its an election year.
The summit was to also focus on sexual exploitation and sexual slavery. Obama again proved do as I say not as my Secret Service does. He was only mad as he didn't get to play with the boys this trip. But Hillary did get to play with the girls. Now why did she not get admonsished by the President or the press?
from my sources, this behavior is nothing new.
Fast and Furious eh boys?
Let's do the math? 11 agents and 20 women.
Hell, in my day any 11 of us Lieutenants would've done better than that.
21 Senator!
I still find this hard to believe, unless they lowered their hiring standards drastically.
As a former Marine who has hit more than a few liberty ports ... this kind of stuff has been ongoing for a long time ... don't give me this SS agents are a breed apart. They've been pulling this type of BS off for a long time. This time they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar ...
How many were underage?
Why was one stiffed? Something exceptional happen?
I don't believe your sources and you shouldn't either.
I'm just happy to read from a journalist who actually knows how to spell 'colombia!'
That's your opinion, NOT fact!
My understanding as well....but who blew the whistle on this? Has that been disclosed?
It's fact. Sorry to disappoint you.
apparently this is common, they only got caught because they refused to pay or something
Somewhat surprisingly, there is an Israeli connection here. Some folks think that this was a Mossad operation run by Netanyahu to let Obama know that Israel is displeased.
What an interesting move on Be-Be's part. Nothing like letting someone know they're not out of their reach. WOW!
Let's put it this way tweenkie ... I know the breed.
You, on the other hand, are totally f'ing clueless.
Leaving the current resident of the White House out of the equation, I wouldn't trust any man who would betray his vows to his wife. Certainly not to lay down his life to protect the president. He simply is not a man of his word. One can try to justify it all he wants, but the fact remains that a man who would step out on his wife is a man who cannot be trusted with anything of value.
Worked these details for 21 years.... After the vip departs it was a wheels up party. Never beforehand. Afterwards we enjoyed the local attractions etc...
If we messed up while on travel we would have been banned from personal security details an supporting the technical services division of the USSS.
Show yer ass an they will kick it !
God forbid any POTUS was assassinated because of some lame-ass security breech.
Don't these guys get briefed about things like this? It has to come up in training.
You didn't get the memo? You can't talk this way in 2012; moral relativism and all that. What they do with their personal life is none of anyone's business and doesn't impact their professional life anyway, oral sex is not really sex, it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is...
what about marriage VOWS?.....I guess that doesn't mean anything anymore....
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall behind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
It was ever thus, and ever will be. Yawn.
Really? ANd which sources are those.... current secret service agents???
I have carried a security clearance for most of my career. I am not part of the secret service. The rules are VERY CLEAR when I travel (particularly over seas) I MUST report every contact that I have. I am debriefed thoroughly when I return.
These yahoos are either the dumbest drunks around or something else is going on that is very very scary
Really??? And your experience as a secret service agent is exactly what???
I thank you for your service. Marines are a unique species that I grant but don't think that everyone else has the morals of the Marines you knew
Really???? Are you a secret service agent??? Do you carry a security clearance in any of your work?? Or are you like Bradley Manning and carry a clearance and totally disregard it?
There are folks who take their clearances seriously and treat them with the appropriate behavior. Not everyone has the morals of slimy alley cats
I'm hoping it's just burned-out drunks after too many deployments. Just hoping, mind you, but that's not what I think is more likely -- another corrupt agency.
Look at the crap the GSA has done. At one time, they were the penny pinchers who drove every bid to the minimum.
You may know Marines. You may have the same slimy morals as the alley cats that roam the garbage filled streets of any give port. But you do NOT know 'the breed'. In fact you would never qualify to be part of the breed.
Could be that Obama-influenced cronyism in hiring eroded the character and professionalism of the SS, assuming this conduct was not common practice under other administrations as some Freepers seem to imply.
Shes kind right. It was 26 ladies.
I could believe that as it was not common practice. They were really creme de la creme.
And when their wives find out, it's "pick up phone, call divorce attorney, and rake cheating husband over the hot coals" time. Stupid, stupid men.
Boys will be boys, and I hope you're not my deceased mom under her maiden name!
How's that song go? "...my alcoholic friends where the party never ends..."
If this was SOP then it would have never been exposed.
That sounds just like what the agents were doing with the hookers.
Everything obama touches turns bad
My son is a 2LT in 1st Cav now.
a vigorous internal investigation? Isn't that how this whole mess got started to begin with?
a vigorous internal investigation? Isnt that how this whole mess got started to begin with?
LOL!! A whole host of important people are using unfortunate word choices.
Any official statements regarding this case really need to be proofread...several times.
The second thing was, can you imagine the media outrage if this had happened when Bush was president?
"hand" LOL!
It's George Bush's fault.

11 Pretty And Preppy Skirts For Spring
Susan Gutfreund and Danielle Steel sat, fur-bundled, in the front row at the Cambon Club, a silver-banquetted nightclub constructed under the glass dome of the Grand Palais in Paris that was the setting for the Chanel Haute Couture summer 2014 show. Gutfreund, the wife of former Salomon Brothers chief John Gutfreund, and Steel, the American romance novelist and San Francisco doyenne, are longtime couture clients, and each had in one hand the collection notes to mark which embroidered gown she might order and in the other an iPhone to more easily document items of interest. Unfortunately, no one in the audience that morning was quick enough to snap the women's reactions to the sneakers the models were wearing. The shoes, made by the century-old, Chanel-owned atelier Massaro, quickly became the symbol of the great couture quake of January 2014. And while Gutfreund and Steel may not have placed orders (that we know of), 28-year-old art director (and founder of online boutique Underoursky) Sofía Sanchez Barrenechea already has a pair. "The weather has been bad, but I wear them at home," she says. A New Yorker by way of Buenos Aires and a couture fan who has garnered multiple mentions on best-dressed lists, Sanchez Barrenechea has attended the semi-annual showings of one-of-a-kind creations for the past four years. This time was different. There were the sneakers, of course, and a notable abundance of short dresses at Chanel, Dior, and Valli. "There are all these young girls now," Sanchez Barrenechea says. "From Russia, China, the next generation. I was happy to see it going younger. I loved the short skirts. But so expensive!" (A dress can run upward of $20,000.) It was also the season in which Town & Country invited Sanchez Barrenechea to play out her couture fantasies—free of charge—in the empty rooms and hallways of Paris's Ecole des Beaux-Arts, which counts among its alums Delacroix, Seurat, Fragonard, and Ingres. Sanchez Barrenechea knew of the school's past ("You think about all that has happened here; it just makes you want to move to Paris and study art") and its more recent history; her fiancé, creative director Alex de Betak, had filmed a short video there over the holidays. And there, perhaps, is the pleasant dose of reality in this dream sequence. Putting on the dresses, spun in ateliers steeped in the traditions of handcraftsmanship over thousands of hours by skilled artisans, was, Sanchez Barrenechea says, "like entering a new dimension. When you put one on you feel like you are putting on a story." This season proved that the time had come for a new chapter.
Sofia Sanchez Barrenechea at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, in Paris's 6th Arrondissement.

Protein is used for every process the body undertakes. It is crucial that we get enough healthy protein in our diet to help maintain our lean muscle mass. The other main ingredient in the FitSmart Shake is fiber. Fiber plays several important roles in maintaining healthy body weight. Fiber helps to slow down the rate at which the body converts carbohydrates into sugar. Fiber has no calories and fills the stomach, making you feel fuller for longer periods of time. Frequently Asked Questions 1.) How does fiber help with dieting?In addition to its beneficial role in heart health and disease prevention, fiber is also an indispensable weight loss tool when incorporated into your daily diet. Specifically, there are four very important ways in which fiber can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight: Fiber will help curb your appetite. High-fiber foods, like high-fat foods, stimulate cholecystokinin (CCK) in the same way that fat does. CCK is a hormone that sends a message to your brain that you are full. Fiber promotes and prolongs the elevation of CCK in the blood, which makes you feel full for longer periods of time. This way, you can feel just as satisfied from a high-fiber meal as you would from a high-fat meal, but the meal that is high in fiber is better for you. Fiber will actually eliminate calories from the food you eat (also known as the Fiber Flush Effect). Research has shown that people who consume a diet high in fiber tend to excrete more calories in their stool. This is because fiber helps to block the absorption of calories you consume and lead those calories out of the body. In one study, scientists determined that for every gram of fiber consumed, your body excretes an average of 7 calories in the stool. That means that if you consumed 35 grams of fiber in one day, you would excrete 245 calories in your stool—just by increasing your fiber intake! Fiber foods are low energy-density foods. Because high-fiber foods typically have a very low energy density (the number of calories in a particular volume of food), eating them allows you to eat a larger volume of food without consuming a lot of calories. In this way, fiber helps to manage your hunger by helping you feel satisfied longer. Fiber slows down the rate at which your body converts carbohydrates into sugar. High-fiber foods help normalize blood glucose levels by slowing down the time it takes food to leave the stomach and delaying the absorption of glucose (blood sugar) from a meal. Fiber foods are also generally lower in calories, allowing you to consume a healthy portion of food but with fewer calories. 2.) Would I be right in assuming that fiber isn't the silver bullet for weight loss, just another weapon in the holster? Why or why not?The common misconception about weight loss is that a silver bullet does exist to help us achieve rapid weight loss, but the reality is not quite so rosy. While several popular diets may provide an opportunity to lose 5 or ten pounds in a short period of time, they rarely teach us how to maintain our body weight once we have shed those pounds. Further, they can often thwart our weight loss efforts by offering harmful advice. For example, several diets advise us to stop eating carbohydrates altogether, but many beneficial carbohydrates (such as those high in fiber) actually play a critical role in weight loss and maintaining our health. So yes, fiber is certainly another weapon in the holster. Consuming a diet that includes plenty of natural, high-fiber foods will not only help you lose weight, but it will teach you a lifetime system of optimum nutrition that will help you achieve your weight loss goal and sustain a healthy body weight for life. 3.) Is it possible to get too much of a good thing with fiber? That is, what is the daily-recommended amount of fiber? Is it still at least 25 grams daily?It is nearly impossible to overdose on fiber. Both the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend consuming between 20 and 35 grams of fiber daily for its tremendous health benefits. But there are many cultures worldwide in which people consume up to 75 grams of fiber daily, and it is common in such cultures to see a very low incidence of diseases such as diabetes and cancer. 4.) Do you just jump in at that level, or do you need to start slow to allow your body to adjust? Why or why not?It is best to start gradually when increasing your fiber intake. To prevent side effects such as gas, bloating or constipation, remember to drink plenty of water. For the majority of people, an increase in fiber actually helps to relieve constipation by providing the bulk necessary for peristalsis (the wave-like motions that move food through your intestines). Follow these simple guidelines for best results when increasing your fiber intake: Add fiber to your diet slowly to reach a healthy goal of 35 grams per day. If you become constipated, use a colon cleanse supplement before bed, or try a mineral-based laxative. Look for all-natural laxatives that contain minerals such as magnesium (a stool softener) and gentle herbs. Because fiber absorbs water, it is important to increase your water consumption when you increase your fiber intake. A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. This means that if you weigh 160 pounds, you will drink 80 ounces of water every day. If you experience gas or bloating, take a digestive enzyme formulated specifically to relieve these issues, and increase your fiber intake more gradually. 5.) For dieting purposes, should dieters load up on one type of fiber, insoluble or soluble, versus the other? Should a distinction, in the case of dieting, be drawn?Because both soluble and insoluble fiber work together to provide health benefits for the whole body, it is important to consume both types of fiber in your daily diet. An ideal ratio of about 65% insoluble fiber to 35% soluble fiber reflects the natural balance found in whole foods. Keep in mind, however, that consuming a larger amount of soluble fiber, especially at the beginning of a weight loss program, can help maximize your weight loss efforts by supporting the Fiber Flush Effect (described above), thereby helping your body burn more calories. 6.) Can you offer recommendations for integrating fiber into your diet?Begin slowly. In the beginning, try to make simple changes such as replacing white rice, pasta and flour with brown rice, whole grain pasta and whole grain or whole wheat flour. Try to consume more fruit, vegetables and legumes in your day, and be creative – sprinkle flax seeds into your yogurt, or add a helping of black beans or kidney beans to your salad. It could even be as simple as adding a handful raspberries to your cereal each morning. Read up on different foods and their fiber and calorie content, and make healthy choices based on your findings. Always read food labels, and make sure the foods you eat have at least 1 to 2 grams of fiber for every 100 calories of food. As you progress toward your goal of 35 grams or more each day, you may find that fiber-rich snack bars, shakes and supplements are a beneficial way to boost your fiber intake. 7.) Not unlike many of the prescriptions we see hawked on television, in addition to the benefits of fiber there is at least one unwanted side effect: flatulence. In trying to slim down, or maintain one's girlish figure with fiber, is flatulence a fairly ubiquitous problem? And how do you manage this problem?The most common reason that many people experience gas and bloating is insufficient water intake. Remember that it is important to drink plenty of water when increasing your fiber content. Also, remember to bring fiber into your diet gradually, eating a healthy blend of soluble and insoluble fiber foods as you do. People may also experience gas and bloating when they attempt to increase their fiber intake by increasing their consumption of only a few specific food types. For example, if you increase your consumption of cereal and breads dramatically but neglect to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, you may experience intestinal discomfort. It is better to eat a variety of high-fiber foods from many different natural sources. 8.) Americans measure everything in McMinutes, so how soon will the average person see any weight-related benefit?While increasing your fiber intake is a gradual process, results are often seen in the first 2 to 4 weeks. This is because you will be taking advantage of fiber's unique ability to prevent the absorption of calories and lead calories out of the body. Further, high-fiber foods will help manage your hunger, so instead of feeling hungry all the time, you will feel satisfied for longer periods of time. And when your body feels satisfied, you won't feel the need to eat constantly. Finally, consuming more foods that are high in fiber will help to jumpstart your energy and motivate you to exercise more frequently, and exercise is a key factor in any successful weight loss program. By consuming at least 35 grams of fiber every day and following a comprehensive weight loss plan such as the one I have laid out in The Fiber35 Diet, it is possible to lose up to 8 pounds each month. About Fiber 35 DietThe Fiber35 Diet is a whole new approach to healthy eating. While you may be acquainted already with the remarkable health benefits of fiber, what you may not know is that keeping your body fueled with high-fiber nutrition is one of the keys to maintaining your ideal body weight and staying fit for life. Created by Brenda Watson, The Fiber35 Diet is a revolutionary weight loss program that focuses on consuming 35 grams of fiber every day. Unlike many low-carbohydrate, low-fat or high-protein diets, The Fiber35 Diet does not eliminate healthful whole grains, fruits and vegetables from our daily meal plan. Instead, it promotes the extraordinary benefits of such fiber-rich foods and the role they play in maintaining optimum health. Using a restricted calorie program scientifically proven to help you lose weight, The Fiber35 Diet works to manage your hunger naturally and help combat the "yo-yo" effect (losing weight only to gain it right back) often experienced while dieting. Its easy-to-understand metabolic formula teaches a lifetime eating system designed to support long-term weight management and improve your overall well-being. In addition to a line of nutritious snack bars and meal supplement shakes, The Fiber35 Diet product line includes three beneficial fiber products and a colon cleansing formula to support bowel health.

"Friend of the Nation Network - and two time Angler Cup Champion - Brian Sutherby has shared his thoughts about the Trade Deadline for the second time in less than a week. In this installment he takes a look at the difficulties of making a big move at the deadline and the impact new arrivals have on a dressing room this late in the season. He also calls a winner for this year's deadline day. - Wanye
With a relatively uneventful trade deadline having passed, many folks are busy debating the Winners and Losers of the deadline. I thought I'd offer my two bits on the matter too.
Many teams had different needs going into the big day and judging the team that played their cards right is always fun. Rather than the big blockbuster deals many had anticipated and hoped for, we saw most teams this season adding depth or in most cases doing nothing at all.
No one really made any moves that blew the roof off their team and unlike recent years, there was little frenzy for the disappointed fans and media alike to enjoy.
Now we are all left to ask ourselves and each other – how did our particular team do and did anyone hand themselves the Cup?
Fans of teams already loaded with talent often figure that adding a big star like Rick Nash can push them over the top and take them to a championship. But what we have seen this year was contending GMs standing pat for the most part, not wanting to mess with what are in most cases already very good lineups.
Acquiring a rental player or making a giant move late in the season always comes with risk. The team is sacrificing the future in favour of the right now and the chance to go deep in the playoffs is by no means assured. For that to happen a lot of things have to go right and pulling off deadline moves is only one piece of a much larger puzzle.
There are a lot of factors in play with a move this late in the season and it can be a lot for any player or team to adjust to with just over a month before playoffs. It's a tough decision and a big deal can have immediate impact on your team - either positively or negatively. Once the deal is done there is no turning back and many a team has done deals they would later rather have back.
This level of risk combined with steep asking prices is the reason - in my opinion - that most GMs preferred to not tinker very much and why there were so few deals this year.
The hope for many GMs and fans alike is that a big move on Deadline Day - eithe rental type trades or landing a player for the long run - can improve the team dramatically in a short span of time. This could mean putting a team over the top and becoming favourites to win the Cup, jumping up the conference standings or making that all important push into a playoff spot.
But just because a deal looks fabulous on paper doesn't always translate to reality. There are a great many intangibles that come with making a move this late in the season and the added pressure of having to adjust to a big shakeup in the line up with the season on the line is often reason enough that teams wait to make big moves in the offseason.
So there's no need to panic if your team sat tight through the deadline. A great many moons have to align to make that magical run, not just a deadline deal.
A secondary scorer, a role player, or depth guy can certainly be all that is needed in many cases to take a team to the next level. Yet often in the days after the deadline, many people are quick to label teams that were the most active in acquiring multiple players or that landed a star player, the "winners".
Though it has happened in the past, making the most deals or landing the biggest name on Trade Deadline day doesn't always translate into success during the remainder of the season. What looked like a great move on paper at the deadline may not look so good in a month if you consider everything that needs to happen in such a short amount of time.
As I talked about before a player's life goes upside down if they are dealt mid season. There are new team mates to work with, new team systems to learn, new Coaches to adjust to, new roles to take on and that ever elusive 'chemistry' that needs to be found in a short span of time.
All of these factors aren't apparent in evaluating a paper transaction and often times you can't predict how these factors will affect a trade until you pull the trigger and see what happens. In a month's time, once the moves have had a chance to set in, we will be in a much better position to evaluate the trade deadline winners and losers.
However, saying that it will take a month to judge the winner of the trade deadline isn't any fun. And it certainly won't appease my self appointed editor Wanye who wants "ANSWERS NOW!"
With that in mind, I'd have to say that I liked several teams' moves in the weeks leading up to the Trade Deadline and on the big day itself. I liked what Nashville and Vancouver did and their moves may get them to where they want to be. Both teams I believe improved themselves for a deep run.
But my opinion come playoff time is the Boston Bruins are still the team to beat if they can stay healthy and have enough gas.
They already have the experience, size, and skill. The additions of depth defenseman like Greg Zanon, Mike Mottau and a forward like Brian Rolston, who can play up and down the lineup, while adding a veteran presence like Recchi did last year, is great this time of year. These three won't be asked to carry the load by any means, but they can fill holes when needed.
In the end I think it's pretty clear who most teams think they have to go through to get to Lords Stanley. Teams adding Hal Gill 6'7" 241 pounds, Paul Gaustad 6'5" 212 pounds, Zack Kassian 6'4 215 pounds, not to mention the Eastern Conference leading New York Rangers picking up John Scott 6'8 270 pounds.
The winner of the Trade Deadline this year: the Big Bad B's
The B's just won their FIST cup in nearly 30 years. Personally, I'm hoping Tim 'The Tool' Thomas and the boys spread the wealth around a bit and someone else takes home the hardware this year!
February 29 2012, 09:10AM
You may be right. It's never easy to repeat, but I still think in a 7 game series they are going to be a lot for any team to handle. Who's your pick?
As long as the Canucks get embarrassed, that's all I care about this year.
February 29 2012, 09:21AM
For the good of Hockey in the US, I vote New York.
Remember when the NHL was thought to be on a bigger rise than the NBA? To the point FOX was highlighting the puck to lessen America's confusion at tracking the play! People were paying money to create new hockey teams throughout the United States, heck they were moving teams out of Canada because support was so strong!
That was the last time New York won the cup and was competitive...
Could be coincidence, but why risk it? Just cheer for the Rangers and bring back the good old days... I'm sure thats all it will take.
February 29 2012, 09:23AM
Did Wayne mature after his Asia trip or what? There wasn't a single Bieber reference, nothing about sending hair to Eberle, or any **** notations. What the heck happened?
** Also: i like the B's chances this year, and i think Edmonton made a good move. Schultz seems to be a stronger shutdown guy which we need badly.
Hey Wanye,
Not sure if you read the Isaac Asimov quiz in the journal, but yesterday's edition was about the first person to do a certain thing. And it was revealed that the first woman to swim across the English Channel was Gertrude Eberle.
As a tribute to his great aunt Gertrude, I propose that Jordon does a Toe-Drag / Dangle / Backhand Roof move across the Channel this summer....after having won the MVP and leading Canada to Gold at the World Championships that is.
That is all.
i like LA and Nash in the west and NY and B's in the east.
As long as the Canucks get embarrassed, that's all I care about this year.
Oh, And the Flames. Neither team can find success in the post season this year. =D
February 29 2012, 10:21AM
The big winners this year? I don't know, maybe Nashville. The big losers? Definitely the Flames. With their best players on the wrong side of 30, their gumper with a lot of miles on him, hard miles, this years post season a fading dream, a GM promising a major shake-up and then recanting and doing nothing...
This was the last best chance for the phlegms to get a decent return on fading assets. Next year at this time a 36 year old Kipper or Iggy coming from a 25th place Calgary team won't be as in demand. Maybe they should hold onto them to retirement like the Isles did in the '80s,leading to 2 decades of toilet dwelling.
Regarding the Oil's move, I think this type of shoring up should have been done months earlier. Stability and calm defence late in close games could have added maybe 10 points to our total. Fewer panic moments in the last minutes with a lead, running around chasing the Canucks while they cycle in our end for minutes ay a time.
Pancake Penner's wife had enough of cooking pancakes she is out the door.
On a related note donair shops in L.A. report a 50% increase in sales as he tries to drown his sorrows in donair sauce.
I dont see any team out West beating the Canucks, unless NSH surprises come playoff time (doubtful) or Chicago gets going. Detroit just seems like a team that the first 3 games of a series will average 40+ shots on goal a game and still lose 3-2 to a team like the Canucks.
Having said that, Really want Boston or NYR to get to the cup and prevent the Canucks from winning this year
February 29 2012, 11:01AM
Yeah what Freeze said. get this done Wayne!

Guys tend to lose weight and get in shape again once the wife leaves. They also have more time to do things like play hockey and hang out at the rink.
Perhaps Penner will get his Mojo back now - might be worth an offseason signing on the cheap.

Not show up at camp over weight and play half assed almost every game.
Time to move on from has been ex Oilers.
I second that. Penner on the third line for cheap? Get it done.

^^^ this thought process is a problem. the only place i want Penner is somewhere very very very far away from our roster.
@Brian Sutherby
I'll go with dark horses Ottawa or NJ from the East and cheer for the only Canadian team that's going to make it from the West even if they are the Canucks!
February 29 2012, 12:55PM
Shoot man this isn't my article I just posted it for Suds. I have something coming later today that will make your eyes bleed it is so immature I PROMISE
i knew something had to be wrong... Bring it on Wayne. Bring it on!
God that title banner is awful. Come on copy and pasting an image off google and using Microsoft paint, you're better than that!
No, he isn't. Been here long?

There are some places not to kick a guy when he is down, affairs of the heart are one of them.
I think pancakes and donairs are funny, but honestly why target him when he is going through something truly terrible.

The NBA All-Star Game tips off tonight at about 8 p.m. ET on TNT, in what half the world seems to think is a mere formality in the celebration of Michael Jordan's 50th birthday.
But there's a game to be played, and if you believe some of the people involved, that game does matter. With that in mind, we break down five things to watch:
1. LeBron James vs. Kobe Bryant.
The scrutiny came down on the game's two most popular — and, perhaps, polarizing — players when Michael Jordan said he would rather have Bryant than James. Neither player put much stock in those comments, with Bryant saying he understand the point about his five championships to James' one and James saying he thinks the argument is shallow. James will start at point guard for an oversized Eastern Conference lineup, and Bryant seems most likely to draw his assignment.
LEBRON: Are we seeing his best yet?
KOBE: Greatest in All-Star Game history
2. Kyrie Irving vs. Chris Paul.
Irving won't start, but he probably is the best true point guard on the East roster. Paul is the best in the NBA. This weekend, though, has belonged to Irving, who had a phenomenal showing in the rookie-sophomore game Friday and won the three-point shootout Saturday. He's the best ball-handler in the NBA and an incredible natural scorer. Paul is the crafty veteran now, an amazing passer who thrives in these situations and can embarrass opponents with his quick hands on defense. Irving seems ready to become the best point guard in the NBA, but Paul doesn't seem willing to give up his spot.
KYRIE: Making Cleveland forget LeBron
3. Kevin Garnett vs. Carmelo Anthony.
The East starters say their feud from earlier this season is a thing of the past, but that will be tested when they play together. Anthony isn't one to pass often anyway, but will he and Garnett have any chemistry? They were joking around a bit Saturday in practice, messing with colorful TNT and NBATV reporter Craig Sager. Keep in mind, if the season were to end today, Anthony's New York Knicks would face Garnett's Boston Celtics in the first round. We're not expecting any trouble, but keep an eye out for it.
4. Russell Westbrook vs. passing.
Westbrook is the most explosive point guard in the NBA, a true rival for Irving, Paul and Tony Parker at the top of the best point guards list. But he already is criticized often for taking too many shots — and not finding Kevin Durant enough — with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook is a brilliant young player with charisma and savvy, and he should know this game could give him a chance to shake his reputation by playing pass-first basketball all night. Or it could give him a chance to try to silence the critics with a big scoring showcase.
5. East centers vs. new positions.
The East roster features five players who start for their teams at center. That doesn't work here. Expect Garnett, Chris Bosh, Brook Lopez, Tyson Chandler and Joakim Noah to be asked to show their versatility against a smaller Western Conference lineup. We can only hope East coach Erik Spoelstra opens things up enough to let Noah showcase his point-center skills, which he takes great pride in and helped him earn a spot on the All-Star team.

Skip to comments.Massachusetts Constitutional Convention - Live Thread
Posted on 01/02/2007 11:06:41 AM PST by pickledelf
Live streaming video of the Massachusetts ConCon:
Welcome to Free Republic.
Shouldn't that be ConCon Con?........
It's like a 3 card Monty game.....Nobody's watching, and if they are they are getting screwed and don't realize it.........
People in Mass just don't care. For them it's about being "nice" to gay people, not that the legislature should obey the law.
Keep your eye on the Queen, just follow the Queen, It's easy.....
Well my connection pooped out. Maybe Big Brother decided there was something I shouldn't see. I don't know what, everyone was voting, "no".
Have they declared Massachusetts a nuclear-free zone yet? How about calling for President Bush's impeachment? Or ethical slaughter of chickens?
I don't reckon there is any group of people in the world, better able to screw up a constitution, than the folks in Massachusetts!
OK, the stream is dead and the baywindows com link you provided is now also dead. Anyone know what happened?
2:36 p.m. -- It's unclear what happened to the motion to reconsider. A roll call vote is now being taken on a motion to recess the ConCon for a hour.
2:26 p.m. The amendment passes with 54 yeas. They are still compiling the nays. State Rep. Byron Rushing is now offering a motion to reconsider. If this motion passes and the ConCon adjourns, the amendment will not take effect.
Yay!!! According to Boston.com, the legislature voted 132-61 to defeat the measure. However, since only 50 are needed to approve, the measure has passed onto the next session for approval.
From the Bay Windows site it appears a vote to reconsider was stopped and now they are voting to recess (to work backroom deals?)?
WHAT?? What the heck is a motion to reconsider??
yes, the link posted below was saying that the vote was to recess for an hour. I tried to hear what was being said on
the streamcast and did hear the bit about "shall we recess
for an hour?" and the rollcall, but it was so plagued
with audio drops and video freezes that I gave up.
The amendment's backers had collected 170,000 signatures to get a question on the 2008 ballot asking voters to declare marriage in Massachusetts to be between a man and a woman, but they still needed the Legislature's approval in two consecutive sessions.
On Tuesday, 61 lawmakers backed moving the measure forward, compared to 132 opposed. The amendment need 50 votes of support to advance.
WBZ radio a sec ago: "Lawmakers put an effort to ban gay marriage one step closer to the ballot box"
That is MORE BS from this legislature. That vote should count!
via WBZ: "Prop. gay marriage ban very alive for now as lawmakers allow it to appear on the ballot."
"Trav took everyone by surprise--went straight to a vote--
req. only 50 votes in favor, amendment got 61 votes, that's
a comfortable margin. (BUT!!!) Then lawmakers voted to RECONSIDER
after an hour request".
So, they decided not to decide, for now. John Kerry would
be proud...flip flop flip flop flip
we'll prob. be talking about this on the Howie Carr live thread as well.
I do not like this new governor. He is asking the legislature to violate the Mass Constitution and their oath of office. That is so very "liberal" and wrong!
Devil is going to be in for a nightmare, too. The revenue forecast is for a big deficit and here we have a new governor who has a few new expensive programs. He is beholden to the teacher's union to reduce class sizes and he wants to help illegals with their education.
That's a shocker! Good news though. Why didn't they recess again? Were they afraid that Mitt was going to be mean to them?
Yep, resuscitated daily, a living-breathing document.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns. NRA KMA
I've been deconstructing your screen name and I think I've got it: You were making New Year's resolutions yesterday and number one was "pickle self" but you kept on trying until you finished the 6-pack and then when you signed in this morning, your finger slid off the "s" right on to the "d", right?
I guess: stewed shorty.
This is a big deal, right? I can't remember a Constitutional Convention ever. Is this a warm up for what the Dems want to do for the whole USA to eliminate that pesky second ammendment (and trim down the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th while at it)?
Unfortunately this thread is a total insider one. I live in Washington state and have seen no coverage of this, or the issues being voted on, or why it came about.
Could some kind freeper please take pity on me (and other uninformed readers) and post or link to a summary of what is going on out there.
Do we have a roll call of the Votes?
This is a Massachusetts thing. Our state constitution allows citizens to gather a petition drive to amend the constitution. If they get a certain number of signatures, the legislature must vote at least 50/200 in favor in two consecutive annual sessions (the constitutional convention), at which point the issue moves to the ballot. The state constitution requires that the legislature vote on the petitions and recently the liberal MA supreme court (the same one that gave us "gay marriage") ruled unanimously that the plain language of the constitution means what it says. The advocates of gay marriage were attempting to get around this by recessing the convention (which requires only 101 votes, rather than the 151 needed to knock out the amendment fair and square) in the name of "equality" and "rights." However, they failed this time and therefore the amendment to ban so-called gay marriage in Massachusetts will continue to the next step (a second vote in the legislature next year).
www.voteonmarriage.org is the site of the group behind this initiative petition.
Thanks so much. I feel informed now!

"Was so excited for its arrival but disappointed with the product. The printed leather looked cheap. Felt more like pleather than leather. The grain was not of quality. And the fit was weird. I didn't like the construction of this boot at all. It scrunches weirdly at the ankle. Like a bad soggy rain boot. Returned this item next day."

how can one be a sponsor of UA when you still are an uber?
I am sooooooooooooooo happy to have you back KW!
However - I have never and I never said that Michelle didn't have any competition or said that they had no good points. I just implied it... very different.
Sponsors? What do we need sponsors for? It's swell being an uber!
Nothing wrong with being a fan. And dare I say it, nothing wrong with being an uberfan, as long as you don't do anything dangerous.
Personally, I try to stay out of the territory because in the past, I've had a taste of it. I know what it's like. This was when I was much younger, mind you, and it was not skating-related. Now, this has been my personal experience and it may or may not match yours. Here goes:
I hate the feeling. It's terrible. It consumes you, it can even BECOME you at times. When I allowed myself to cross that line, go off the deep end, it's like I was never happy. Sometimes it consumed almost my every thought. When I felt a real opportunity I barely got any sleep...and when it became clear that I could not make my wish happen, it was crushing. It was like my world had stopped. This stuff makes you desperate, makes you do stupid, irrational things, makes you have lofty expectations which have next to zero chance of being fulfilled...ugh. Damn, you can see why I hate uberfandom so much...I went through it myself and I don't wish it on anyone. I just want to live my life and reach for what I can grab.
I think anyone who has met a girl (or guy) that really rocks their world, but the feeling is not mutual, knows what I'm talking about here- although that's not what I was describing above. But the feeling is the same.
Since then, I've been able to keep things under control, keep my feet on the ground for the most part. Recently though I nearly came to blows with this issue again, but after some time I think I've pried myself free. Normally everything is just fine...but once in a blue moon, it can threaten to pull you in...and sometimes it just has to be fought off.

Gregor rings... Heatley stays in Ottawa
June 30 2009 08:47PM
10:14pm MDT update: Heatley will not waive his no-trade clause. He stays in Ottawa, and won't come here.
Earlier tonight: Just got off the phone with Gregor:
"The Oilers have traded Dustin Penner, Ladislav Smid and Andrew Cogliano for Dany Heatley. This will add $2.1 million to the Oilers' payroll."
He also mentioned that Hossa talks with LA have broken off.
Finally, the handsome devil teased me with this one: the Oil aren't done dealing yet.

@ Hemmertime: "Hey guys, we had you traded to an equally bad team but the superstar we were getting in return is a bit of a douche soooo…….Quinn will be your new coach next year! enjoy!"
is that the concensus then, me thinks not. Despite Mckenzies articale which says he refused to waive, which to me may mean that he heard the deal was dead and extrapolated, there is no definitive answer either way. Perhaps OTT put it on hold because they had more time, or heatley wanted to sleep and decide or he did say no. Right now we do not have any real knowledge unless Tambo murray or the nhl has commented since I was typing this up that is.
@ mattyfinch:
"sleep on the deal" is a nice way of saying no. Rangers get him tomorrow.
Damn right!
Blessing in disguise... Locker room cancer avoided

The first thing you should know is that the Dany Heatley trade to Edmonton is not officially dead. At least not yet... No one should suggest Heatley is prepared to waive his no-movement clause to go to Edmonton any more than it should be suggested he absolutely won't... That final decision has not been made because Heatley's agent, J.P. Barry, believed the actual deadline was at 11:59 p.m. eastern on Wednesday night, not 11:59 p.m. eastern on Tuesday night.
Doug MacLean says:
Rangers offer includes Ryan Callahan, Michael Del Zotto...
Aww sh*t, I forget who else he just said.
Somebody help me?

@ jeanshorts: THANK.
June 30 2009, 11:09PM
Think of this for a moment. We are having a pretty crappy evening right now, right? What about all the Oiler fans that went to bed already? They have no clue what's going on. They are snuggled up to their loved one and they are thinking about how bad ass the Oilers are going to be with Dany Heatley. They are imagining him scoring off of a sweet Hemsky to Gagner pass play. Oh man... There is going to be a lot of crappy mornings tomorrow when they all wake up. Happy Canada Day to us huh? F*cking Dany Heatley and his Bull Sh*t NMC. Who f*cking gives those out to players anyways? Idiots!
June 30 2009, 11:09PM
What do you say to Cogs, Penner and Smid now genius? Uh hey guys sorry, welcome to training camp?
Send brownlee to the draft next year. Don't reward a mongerer.
June 30 2009, 11:09PM
@ SAM THE MAN: That has to be the most ridiculous thing i've read all day.
The major sports stations WERE reporting the trade. I found out about it on TSN, so obviously you dont know what you're talking about.
You're criticizing a media guy for reporting the news as it happens? uh...ok...i sure hate the way the weather man keeps telling me about the temperature too. What a jackass.

well they "Sweetened" the pot with callahan dubinski some other tool and the sweetener which hasnt been released, so perhaps, but if so the oilers could come back and sweeten too.
@ jeanshorts:
I called all my friends and reported the deal was done based on Gregor's say so. I rubbed it in my brother-in-laws face (Flames Fan).... Now I have egg on mine.
I will never look to the team for final confirmation of a deal, ever again.
What a disaster. Embarassing, humiliating.
I don't think I can face the Flames fans I'm surrounded by tommorow.
It could only get worse if the Flames trade a bag of pucks and a whole lot of salary for D. Heat(scumbag)ley tommorow and start planning their Stanley Cup Parade the day after
June 30 2009, 11:10PM
hxxp://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283382 mckenzie now says that he didnt refuse just delayed. I am not listening to anymore "news" outlets untill tambo or murray is on saying its done......ffs what a joke.
@ SAM THE MAN: Whoa now. Im sure youve made a mistake or two at your job sam. Maybe excitement got the best of the guys at the team 1260. Hell the thought of having some goal production come the oilers way should get a lot of fans going. Its all in good fun anyway man. Dany boy will get his millions.
@ Hemmertime:
You are probably right, I'm just kidding around. Who the hell knows whats going on?? Only Heatly I guess. I never actually heard/read that we were on his list of possible destinations so I was pretty shocked when I heard the news. I still don't see it happening but at this point does he really want to stay there?? What a bunch of BS though when news like this is confirmed and then denied minutes later. I'll never be able to sleep tonight.
Thanks for the update. Seems reasonable to want to think about it if the Oil wasn't on his original list. I would have thought Murray would have talked to him when the conversation with EDM started. Not that I think Heatley should be picky given his request, but shouldn't Murray have laid the groundwork up front to prevent this situation?
As long as we know by noon ET, Tambo can have Hossa on the line at 12:01 and give him the money instead (or the Bulin wall and try to outscore everyone 2-1 next year)
June 30 2009, 11:13PM
I am not going to bed until Dany "Look at me I'm a Princess" Heatley decides if he wants to be an Oiler or not. Goddamned spoiled brats. I would give Tambo my left nut and Katz my right nut to put that jersey on.
June 30 2009, 11:13PM
Just think we get Penner back!!!!! Free Agency is more of a yearly punishment than anything for the Oilers. Now we have three players who know that they were on the way out to deal with
@Sam the Man

@ gdawg: sure but their job is to report factual news not pass rumour despite of sources as fact untill it has been done, ive found my whipping boy the media......
June 30 2009, 11:14PM
You want to get technical? TSN reported an offer was made. Sportsnet said the same. Gregor went on a holier than thou routine - and I'm not an idiot, he would've reemed anyone out if they went against his word at the time. TSN never said it was done, I followed sportsnet, 25 minutes after Gregor said it was 110% DONE, they said it was done too (probably based on principe's connection to edmonton).
You guys are idiots.
If I make a mistake at work, I own up to it. These guys are blaming everyone but their moms.
June 30 2009, 11:15PM
gregor only messed up once tonight.
howmany times has (100% legit) mackenzie goofed it tonight on this deal?
i see 3 edits on his tsn page on this.
sleep on it is the equivalant of dumping a girl and telling her "lets still be friends". Damn, is E town that bad of a place to come and play?
June 30 2009, 11:16PM
@ Chris: Or sportsnet eh? You gotta know that when people report it's a done deal they are getting it from a reliable source, NOBODY would risk their reputation on something that they didn't feel was concrete. TSN has two of the most inside guys in the hockey world so they were getting different intel.
Let me ask you this, If you're Gregor and say Cogliano texts you and says he's just been traded along with penner and Smid to Ottawa for Heatley, would you report it? What about a hat tip from inside the Oiler organization? What if your other media buddies are also all getting the same story from other sources?
I think this is just another case of instant information. The information could be right but not always all the details.
June 30 2009, 11:17PM
Hmmmm... I don't understand why you care so much? Did the bad news make you shed a tear and now your mad at "the world"?
Chill out dude. Gregor knows his sh*t.

hold up there big trucker, the score was the first outlet to make it official you silly goose.
go bag on baldy and the kid about making the mistake, not gregs.

Now what good would a "gelding" be for the Oilers! Just jkk man, so would I, so would I...
June 30 2009, 11:18PM
The fact of the matter remains. The Oilers and the Sens agreed upon a trade. It was reported. That deal hinges on a player's approval. Major outlets like TSN reported the deal as done. They changed it to a flat out refusal. Now they changed it to a maybe. Obviously EVERYONE has been taken through the ringer figuring out what happened with this. So why should Jason Gregor have to take more heat than McKenzie who has changed his story 4 times in the last hour?
June 30 2009, 11:18PM
grr its late and im in a bad mood I better go before I say something I shouldnt. Time to drink myself to a stupor and wake up at 3pm and hope that all is good in our little corner of the world.
@ rob:
Don't forget that we are talking about these people's lives....
They aren't baseball cards.
@ Fiveandagame:
I'm sure there are good reasons. I'm sure Gregor had good sources...
But I'm still not going to look to the Team for FINAL confirmation. Tencer wins this round.
@ SAM THE MAN: Sportsnet and The Score BOTH reported it as done! It came across the ticker on BOTH channels.
June 30 2009, 11:19PM
If Dany wanted to be here he would have agreed to this deal straight up. His delaying until sometime tomorrow afternoon potentially takes the Oilers out of the hunt for a an elite free agent. But then again the way things have been going lately... I am seriously getting the feeling that those kind of players are never going to voluntarily agree to any kind of contract to come here. It will only be through a trade (as long as they don't have a NMC). Damn it!
June 30 2009, 11:20PM
@ SAM THE MAN: I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure those guys are professionals and if they haven't had to deal with something like this in the past already, they sure as f*ck won't be butthurt by it, like you apperentely are. It's a business. Guys get traded all the time. It's the business of professional sports.
But that is neither here nor there. What happens if say, oh I don't know, tomorrow, Dany Heatly has a good, long, hard think on the toilet in the morning while he's dropping a poop, and says you know what, let's do it. We're going to Edmonton! Will you still be completely rocked and shaken to your core by the fact that a sports radio station may have jumped the gun a little early on reporting a news story? The fact that you are so utterly appalled by this is god damn hilarious. You must live a really fulfilling, fruitful life. Keep up the good work.
June 30 2009, 11:20PM
hey guys, feel better, i live in calgary in a house with 5 flame fans..
dont worry its 6000 sq feet so i get some alone time lol.
I basically jumped through the roof when the deal broke, now the only thing broke is the roof.

To be honest, it is not like this just snuck up on him. It has been all over that Edmonton has been pursuing him. I think he is just waiting until 11:59 tomorrow night to see if there is any better offers.

The Score also reported Pronger to the Kings as a done deal.
Staufer screws up on Nylander / Gregor screws up on this one,way to go 1260.
June 30 2009, 11:22PM
This has the Hossa situation written all over it. Management focuses on one big fish, and when it gets away, the pool is empty. Cut bait, and look somewhere else, Tambo.
Seems to me that there's a real problem with how this team operates. In the business world, there's a concept called due diligence - make sure all I's are dotted, T's are crossed, no stone left unturned, etc.... This is the second time that a supposed done deal has fallen through (see Nylander, Michael). If you've gotten far enough to agree on the terms of a deal, don't you think you want to have the Sens fax you over Heatley's contract so that it can be reviewed with a fine tooth comb? That should have flushed out the confusion regarding the $4m bonus deadline. Heatley's camp is using this as leverage to look for a more preferable destination (especially after the Gomez trade). Yes, I realize the Sens were under the same impression (that the deadline was midnight EST tonight), but it doesn't make sense to not confirm it yourself.
I need a drink...

Don't worry about Gregor and 1260, quit listening he has lots of other liteners and don't support his blog, but mostly just shut the f*ck up.

I think SAM THE MAN is still trying to recover from that time way back when EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN NEWS OUTLET reported that Al Gore had won the Presidential race, which, as we all know, didn't quite work out that way.
Or maybe he's still bitter he isn't the Record Man anymore. Who knows.
I like Gregor. He hasn't lost me. The TEAM hasn't lost me. But BIGG PROPS to DAN TENCER tonight. I haven't listened to him or CHED a whole lot, but had BOTH goin on the net.
@ Jason Gregor: Chin up pal. Happened to Bob a couple years back. You have your sources, and if you want to break the big stories, you gotta trust them. Still trust ya bra!
June 30 2009, 11:26PM
nerdlandia did sign, via email, then retracted if my memory serves correct.
oh well, seriously look at where that shit karma got him.
same with hossa... hows my ass taste marian?
heatley is due for a sexy broken somethinger other if he vetos this deal. The universe always evens itself out.
Just ask nylanders ice time last year LOL
June 30 2009, 11:26PM
Please tell me when mckenzie ever said it was done? I will eat my words if you do. Mckenzies edits are with new info about the deadline extension, thats where 1260 picked up that angle from.
Gregor reported it 110% before 9pm man! Sportsnet had it as 'done' on their site around 9:30! I could give a shiz who the sources are, even if its all players involved in the deal. Fact of the matter is, you report when its OFFICIAL. Why didnt we hear the flames signed bouwmeester yesterday when the offer was made? Because it was never confirmed from the league. This was never confirmed, and yes it is about peoples lives. Players included. Gregor f**ked with the players involved in the trade, how are you supposed to keep a good relationship and stay with the team that reportedly traded you. Its a slap in their face.
And thats the medias reponsibility. 1260 is mainstream, if it was a bunch of bloggers on radio speculating, thats one thing. But if its a guy who bases his livelihood on credibility, then you take your lumps.
Just own up to it. Thats all Im saying.

The Wallabies broke their Rugby Championship duck with a narrow 14-13 victory over Argentina in Perth on Saturday.
The Wallabies broke their Rugby Championship duck with a narrow 14-13 victory over Argentina in Perth on Saturday.
The win wasn't pretty but the hosts will take it, as it's the first under new coach Ewen McKenzie, and ends a four-match winless streak which stretches back to their loss in the series decider to the British and Irish Lions in July.
With most of the match played in driving rain and a howling wind there were plenty of handling errors and kicking for territory, especially during the opening half.
Los Pumas had the better of the early exchanges and took the lead in the eighth minute, via a Nicolas Sanchez penalty, after Nic Cummins was pinned for holding onto the ball at a ruck in front of his try-line.
The Wallabies soaked up the pressure and were soon level when Horacio Agulla committed a similar offence to Cummins within Christian Lealiifano's range.
Five minutes later, the Brumbies midfielder slotted another penalty after Argentina's front row was punished for illegal scrummaging.
But 10 minutes later Israel Folau left his stamp on the match with a try. The big full-back brushed off four tackles inside Argentina's 22 after being put into space by quick hand-speed from James O'Connor and Quade Cooper in the build-up.
Lealiifano failed to convert and for the remainder of the half the home side did most of the attacking but without any success. They were eventually rewarded when Lealiifano added another three-pointer, on the stroke of half-time, after the visitors were pinned for lazy running.
The sides went into the sheds with Australia leading 14-3 and, like in the first half, Argentina piled on the pressure after the re-start.
They spent most of the opening 10 minutes of the half camped inside Australia's 22 but the Wallabies' defended resiliently and los Pumas failed to add to their score during this period.
As expected Argentina dominated the scrums, and they pushed the Wallabies off the ball on at least three occasions. In the 55th minute, such an offence gave them another chance to narrow the home side's lead but Sanchez's shot at goal fell just short of the uprights.
He made up for that miss with his second penalty, five minutes later, after Australia were penalised once again for a scrum infringement.
And they got to within a point of the lead when Juan Manuel Leguizamón scored a converted try, from close quarters, after running onto a superb offload from Felipe Contepomi in the 65th minute.
To their credit, Australia didn't panic and although Lealiifano missed two further shots at goal, within the last 10 minutes, their defence held firm and denied Argentina their first ever win since joining the tournament last year.
Man of the Match: Nic White deserves a mention, for a solid display in trying conditions, in his first start to a Test but Argentina's front row gets our vote for another dominant display in the scrums.
Moment of the match: With the game being played in atrocious conditions, there wasn't much expansive play but another moment of brilliance from Israel Folau ultimately sealed the win for the Wallabies
Villain of the Match: Nothing to report here as nobody misbehaved.
The scorers:
For Australia:
Try: Folau
Pens: Lealiifano 3
For Argentina:
Try: Leguizamón
Con: Sanchez
Pen: Sanchez 2
Australia: 15 Israel Folau, 14 James O'Connor, 13 Adam-Ashley Cooper, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 James Slipper.
Replacements: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Sekope Kepu, 19 Sitaleki Timani, 20 Ben McCalman, 21 Will Genia, 22 Matt Toomua, 23 Tevita Kuridrani.
Argentina: 15 Juan Martin Hernandez, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Gonzalo Tiesi, 12 Felipe Contepomi, 11 Juan Imhoff, 10 Nicolas Sanchez, 9 Thomas Cubelli, 8 Juan Manuel Leguizamón, 7 Pablo Matera, 6 Juan MartÃn Fernández Lobbe, 5 Julio Farias Cabello, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 AgustÃn Creevy, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 Eusebio Guiñaz, 17 Nahuel Lobo, 18 Juan Pablo Orlandi, 19 Mariano Galarza, 20 BenjamÃn Macome, 21 MartÃn Landajo, 22 Santiago Fernández, 23 Lucas González Amorosino.

Skip to comments.Mia Farrow Hearts New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (for Blasting Republicans)
Posted on 01/02/2013 4:55:28 PM PST by drewh
The Left's love affair with N.J. Gov. Chris Christie continues ... so long as the outspoken pol is trashing his own party. Christie made headlines today by blaming the death of a Hurricane Sandy relief bill loaded with pork squarely on the GOP.
There is only one group to blame, he ranted. The House Majority and John Boehner. Last night, the House Majority failed the basic test of leadership and they did so with callous disregard to the people of my state. It was disappointing and disgusting to watch. Shame on you, shame on Congress. That sentiment earned kudos from progressive actress Mia Farrow of "Rosemary's Baby" fame.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
It looks like the commies have gone from "Bush's fault" to "the GOP's fault". The day is coming when Americans are going to pay for their being so gullible. It's coming sooner than most of them think.
I've had quite enough of Chris Christie.
"There is only one group to blame, he ranted. The House Majority and John Boehner"
yes, because Governors rely on the Federal Government to look after the best interests of the citizens of their state.
So Christie simply cannot figure out the needs and requirements of the folks impacted by Hurricane Sandy and defers to the Federal Government.
Why does New Jersey have a Governor anyway?
This putz just wants a handout, and for somebody to make the boo-boo feel better.
I am beginning to really hate democraps...
They are every bit the lying evil racist hypocrite bastards they accuse US of being.
I am so dam sick of turning the other cheek.
it is getting us more and more of their lying horse$hit
It looks like the commies have gone from hating the marshmallow man to embracing a useful idiot to help further their cause. Christie is like Scott Brown, headed for a defeat in his next election because the democrats will abandon him and he may not have enough republican support. Anything is possible, but like Brown, the tea party will not come to his rescue anymore.
They passed a damn bill for Sandy Relief weeks and it was filled with pork..meanwhile, I am beginning to understand why Woody Allen would much rather have sex with a teenage girl than screw Mia Farrow, I guess even Woody has his standards
forgot to add "Weeks ago"
man this fiasco just blindsided us all. Im so mad at everyone I dont know where to go with it. Furious with Christie for his bloviating and throwing the GOP as sole problem and for Boehner not to see this. Regardless, honestly this is a terrible visual.
There are too many DemocRATs in the GOP. Time for a true second party. The GOP has Whigged out.
There are too many DemocRATs in the GOP. Time for a true second party. The GOP has Whigged out.
Does anyone know if he also bitched out the senate rats and 0?
Why in the HELL should I be forced at the point of a GUN to BAIL OUT NEW JERSEY?? If I decide to help the people of New Jersey it should be MY CHOICE, not THE GOVERNMENTS, not to mention I would not help them anyway, they are Obama Country and they deserve NOTHING. Take care of yourselves and stop sponging off the Productive members of society. Yeah Im pissed at this, I just sent the IRS $20,000 for TAXES. DROP DEAD CHRIS CHRISTIE.
Mia, huh? I thought she was taken away by the devil.
Chris Christie is just another Stooge for the Left!
All he knows is the "Blame Game" ......
Oh, -and how to stuff his face ...........obviously!
Shortly after Columbine, I heard Mia Farrow and Rosie O'Donnell on a radio program slamming the Second Amendment.
They were saying crap like, "We need to ban all guns," "Nobody needs them, etc." It was sickening.
Meanwhile, I'm sure the two of these idiots have armed bodyguards.
Another brainless idiot tries to speak.
Same here. I'm through with him. He got my vote first time around; no more.
Because nobody on our side thinks ahead or plans ahead. The dems are playing chess like a world champion against a toddler. They know every move they can make and they know every response we can make. They are 20 moves ahead. We don't think until they make a move. If we make several bad moves, it's checkmate guaranteed.
On top of that, they have the MSM doing the play by play, always cheering the dems and always trashing every move we make. Or don't make.
There are so many things that our RINOs let through in this bill and our RINOs were clever enough to stop hurricane aid. But of course, the dems had it worked out that way and always get us boxed in the worst possible corner. Brilliant.
Commies are good planners. They have a script for every outcome written weeks ahead. You notice how fast they are to react to a mistake? It takes our guys days and then no on cares anymore.
As Forrest Gump might have said, "Stupid party is as stupid party does."
The "teenage girl", Soon Yi, was the adopted daughter of both he and Mia. That makes his desperation all the more significant and wierd.
he may as well run as a D in 2016...
Mia Farrow - wasn't she a famous actress back when there was three tv channels and tube televisions?
as boehner said to reid, CC, you can go....
as boehner said to reid, CC, you can go....
WHO cares what that old has-been thinks?
Mia Farrow .... she's still alive ... must be one old haggard dog.
Saw the picture .... something dug up by one old haggard dog!
In fact, I'd have to discipline Goober (my dog) if she drug something like that home ... a dead rat, a dead cat or dead bird OK ... but that, no way.
My guess you are correct, so far I have not heard one single liberal who slams the constitution who did NOT have armed guards.
Right, why help New Jersey, they have been UNAMERICAN SINCE 1664, in fact, why not screw all of the original 13 Colonies, what do they know about AMERICA
Yes, even our wet noodle LoBiondo, who couldn't be bothered when invited to respond last week to a story about Reid calling Boehner a dictator, stirred himself today to speak out about how money wasn't pouring into his district (which being at the lower tip of the state, was not nearly as badly damaged as "up north") - if only if only if only we could get Republicans to attack the 'rats as viciously as they attack each other......
Why don't these rich libs give their own money? That would be charity. When the government takes money by force to give away to someone else, that is legalized theft. Government should not be doing anything other than public safety and the military.
Too bad she's well past menopause, they could have a fat baby.
Or maybe they can adopt! LOLOLOLOLOL
She was a nice POA back in the day.
I remember reading about when she married Sinatra... Ava Gardner remarked Frank had married a boy.
Cause her hair was short? I think she looked good. That look works on some women.
Ava was an even hotter piece. I can't believe Mickey Rooney hit it!
She looked better in the first part of "Rosemary's Baby" when she had longer hair. The short hair did make her look like a 10-year old boy.
"Ava was an even hotter piece. I cant believe Mickey Rooney hit it!"
Mickey Rooney and Frank Sinatra are Eskimo Brothers.
"She was a nice POA back in the day."
"Cause her hair was short? I think she looked good. That look works on some women."
Yes, she could pull off the "pixie" look...~45+ years ago.
Woody Allen done drove her nuts.
It's funny, I've never heard that term before but right away I knew what it meant.
Mia Farrow: Has-been. Never thought she was much even in her day.
Ava Gardener: beauty in her day. Classy lady. Had a real sultry look about her...but not trashy.
Christie: Fat RINO, go cry to your butt buddy Obama. Maybe he'll give you money from his "walking around money" stash.
"It's funny, I've never heard that term before but right away I knew what it meant."
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that term!!! It's from The League. I had an awesome time explaining that to my Italian cousins - they love it!
If the stupid t-shirts weren't ~$25, I would buy a couple of them. The g/f would not buy me one for Christmas.
Let's start a celebrity Eskimo Brothers thread or PING list!!!
As usual, spot-on analysis!!!
Didn't she do a full frontal in "Rosemary's Baby"?
I don't know, I've never seen that movie.
I think she was nude but showed only her breast and backside.
Ok...now I'll have to investigate when I get home. :)
