He hasn't lost his talent for the live teleprompter, or his ability to command a, well, global audience.
Days after dropping in on the geeks at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Bill Clinton rubbed shoulders with the beautiful people in Hollywood, crashing the Golden Globes and garnering the night's first room-wide standing ovation. The 42nd president earnestly introduced a clip of Steven Spielberg's "brilliant ... extraordinary" film about the 16th president, Lincoln. His command of the (digital) cue cards trounced the abilities of several of the actors presenting.
The show's co-hosts were giddy about the surprise. "What an exciting special guest. That was Hillary Clinton's husband!" gushed Amy Poehler, who, of course, memorably impersonated the secretary of state on Saturday Night Live.
"That was Bill Rodham Clinton!" Tina Fey said.

Personally, i dont see it becoming that big.. but i think it has the potential, at least.. Its definitely one of the better monthly shonen mangas... and its still fairly young.. o.o Was claymore/FMA like this after a year and a half of circulation? (or some other good monthly shonen mangas, i guess.. pretty much asking if they became more popular when they were around longer, or just from the start they were big..)

text: Three pads. That's the totality of the padding inside the Giro Prolight helmet. Another reason why the Prolight is so feather-light. The set comprises of a left brow, a right brow, and a top pad. Like the Giro Ionos, the pads are made from X-Static, which has anti-microbial/thermodynamic silver fibers woven in. They shouldn't get stinkerific easily, and when they do; they're easy to wash. Pads do wear out, and when they do, we've got the pads right here. The Dudley Do-Rights will probably get the extra set when they buy the helmet and then store them in the box until needed. The rest will rely on us to do the storing of the (someday their) Giro Prolight helmet pad set.

Canucks Blow it Royally Late, Fall to Kings: Recap and Chance Data
Dimitri Filipovic
January 29 2013 01:16AM
Roberto Luongo's performance was worth talking about, despite the result.
Photo credit: Chris Carlson/AP
The Canucks fans that were hoping to get something resembling vengeance - whether it be in the form of blood, or two points in the standings - from Monday night's affair in Los Angeles were left heading to bed with a bitter taste in their mouth, after their team blew yet another two-goal lead. This time, it was en route to a shooutout loss against the hated Kings.
Although I'm sure that before heading to bed, many of those individuals made sure to give their two cents in the form of a snarky tweet about everything that's wrong with the team. The same team, that was a mere 44 seconds from leaving town with a hard fought (if not impressive) win. That's how things work in the land of Canucks, though.
Regardless, the Canucks managed 3 out of a possible 6 points in their saunter through California, and now head home licking their wounds, in desperate need of a day off.
Read on Past the Jump for More (including scoring chance totals!)
A reasonable place to start seems to be with the notion that the Canucks somehow cost themselves this game because of their strategy in the third period. Given the circumstance, I couldn't disagree more. They were quite evidently gassed - rightfully so, with this being their 6th game in 9 days and what not - and could not afford another period like the one that took place in the 2nd (more on this in the paragraph below). They grinded the game down to a halt, but it was out of necessity. I'll conceed that I could not have possibly been more bored in the final 20 minutes, but I cannot disagree with the logic behind the tactic. Even if the result wasn't the desired one. Having the benefit of hindsight doesn't change that.
Let's get to the scoring chance data, which is listed in its entirety at the bottom. The Kings out-chanced the Canucks by a margin of 16-8 (with 12 of those coming at even strength, to the Canucks' 7). What instantly stands out is the second period, which truly was a dreadful one for the visitors. It seemed like the middle frame was an endless loop of defensive breakdown after defensive breakdown. Yet the only puck to get by Roberto Luongo during that time was a shot from in-close by sniper Jeff Carter, which came on the power play.
Things really could have gotten out of control in this one if not for a spectacular performance by Luongo, who helped build quite the highlight reel for any General Manager that wasn't able to stay up for the late start time of this game. Given that he hadn't seen action since last Sunday - unless you count his antics on Twitter - he must be commended for a performance that rivalled Schneider's gem against Anaheim. Even the tying goal wasn't his fault; it managed to go through a maze, and a fabulous Alexander Edler screen on its way to the back of the net.
In his preview for this game, Thomas Drance mentioned that for the Canucks to get a win, they would need their goaltending and power play to step up. I guess it's fitting that they split it down the middle, and took home the one point, then. They did only have 3 total power play opportunities in the game, but I would classify them as underwhelming at best. After last night's game with 84 combined penalty minutes, this one was far tamer; to the tune of 14, and far fewer post whistle dust-ups.
Of note is the fact that Keith Ballard replaced Jason Garrison on the first unit for the final man advantage, though Ray Ferraro mentioned that Garrison was walking around in the tunnel as play was going on. Ultimately, though, this entire topic of discussion would have done a 180 if not for a stellar play by defenseman Rob Scuderi, as he broke up what seemed like a sure power play tally for Zack Kassian late in the game (which surely would have sealed it). A game of inches, indeed.
Speaking of Kassian - I thought he was the best skater for the Canucks through regulation. It's ironic that he has seamlessly transitioned into his newfound role with the Sedins, yet he's practically finding every single seam for the twins to get him the puck. Yes, he scored his 4th goal of the season in this one, but I was far more pleased with all everything he did that may not necessarily be considered 'sexy'. He was terrific in his own zone (a far, far cry from last season), and didn't make me feel like he was a liability at any point. That's huge if he's going to be playing the type of minutes that he has been logging in recent games. What's unclear to me is why he rode the pine for the full extent of the overtime, not seeing a single second of ice-time.
The second best skater for the Canucks in this one was undoubtedly Chris Tanev, who played a whale of a third period. It's fitting that he balanced out what was a dreadful second stanza (including a shift where he did everything but put the puck into his own net on behalf of Jordan Nolan), with such a strong final one. Because, you know, he's quite a balanced player. Am I the only one seeing the parallels here?
And finally, there was Alex Burrows' shootout attempt, which I simply have no words for.
Scoring Chance Data
A reminder for those of you new to reading our site: a scoring chance is counted any time a team directs a shot cleanly on-net from within home-plate (here's an image of "home-plate" so you can get a visual definition). Shots on goal and misses are counted, but blocked shots are not (unless the player who blocks the shot is "acting like a goaltender"). Generally speaking, we are more generous with the boundaries of home-plate if there is dangerous puck movement immediately preceding the scoring chance, or if the scoring chance is screened.
Here's the total scoring chance data:
And here's the individual chance data for the Canucks skaters:
Great stuff, always love your recaps.
But when are we going to see the Sedins leading this team in scoring chances? Anyone..... crickets....
Kassian could have had a hat trick tonight. He looked great.
The second half of the games are becoming an issue for the Canucks. Every team is going to be tired due to the condense schedule; the Canucks need to find a way to play the full 60 minutes.
"And finally, there was Alex Burrows' shootout attempt, which I simply have no words for."
Burrows MUST have tried this move in practice. He should have known it wasn't going to work. Does anybody know for sure if it was even legal?
Canucks are out of shape so they falter in the second half of games and blow leads.
January 29 2013, 10:41AM
Best start since 2008!
Gillis will make a steal of a trade in February - Volpatti and Weise for Kesler and Booth!
Per Botch (https://twitter.com/botchford/status/296309526393655297) it would have counted... it still sucked though.
No offence to Kassian, but the fact he is the best player night in, night out scares me. How many other teams in the league would send Kassian in a shootout or claim he is one of their best offensive players? Surely not any of the big dogs out east. Never mind Chicago, San Jose or even the lowly Oilers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very impressed with him and love his size/grit and overall play. But its pretty eye opening in terms of team depth to see him leading the team in scoring chances and going in the clutch 3rd spot in shootouts. Scary...
Lastly if it wasn't for Lou last night it could have been 5-2 LA. I'm starting to think the prudent thing is to keep him and play things safe with D. But then we have no chips to address our lack of offensive depth...
Great job Gillis, at least we have Lou locked up until 2023.
January 29 2013, 11:29AM
Burrows really needs to stick to "the move"
What concerns me is that they have managed to go 2-0 in four of their six games and only hold on to win one of them in regulation. That's simply not going to cut it in the long term. Unfortunately, identifying a problem is not the same as solving it.
Hopefully Kesler and Booth can make it back fairly soon.
I'm not convinced Kesler's return will help this particular problem, DCR.
I don't think the Canucks conditioning is up to snuff. The team didn't play elsewhere in the lockout. 'Bag-skate' games like last night will help in the long term, but in the short term we'll have to be patient for them to get in to the shape to be in.
"No offence to Kassian, but the fact he is the best player night in, night out scares me"
The fact that he was one of the few Canucks to actually play during the lockout has a lot do with this (and the Kesler injury).
"But its pretty eye opening in terms of team depth to see him leading the team in scoring chances and going in the clutch 3rd spot in shootouts."
Is it really that surprising to see a player playing on the first line and getting PP minutes leading the team in scoring chances?
I also think that Kassian has more offensive ability than you are giving him credit for. As a 13th overall draft pick I don't think his skill set has ever been in question but rather his ability to play at an NHL level night in and night out.
I agree with you about the Canuck's fitness level but I think Kesler's return would improve the team's defense and PK. That alone should make holding on to leads easier.
If he is fit enough to also help out offensively then that's great too.

Learning Disabilities
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
John Murphy Annapolis Valley—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, March is Learning Disabilities Month. This year the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada is celebrating its silver anniversary.
Across Canada learning disability associations and schools perform vital work. The many hours offered by committed volunteers and staff have made a tremendous difference in the lives of those who live with learning disabilities. Their success in generating greater public awareness as well as their preventive efforts to diagnose and assist those with learning disabilities have touched the lives of many people.
I am pleased today to rise and offer my congratulations to the association for its 25 years of service to Canadians. In particular, I would like to recognize the Learning Disability Association of Nova Scotia.
I urge all members of Parliament to join me in pledging our support to Canadians who live with learning disabilities and to all those volunteering in the field.
Semaine Nationale De La Francophonie
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Bernard Deshaies Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, for some years now we have been celebrating the Semaine nationale de la francophonie, in which some 150 million people from 47 countries and five continents are proud to take part.
It is my hope that this week will make Canadians aware of the indispensable role played by Quebec in the French-speaking world and encourage the federal government to correct the problems which are still a daily reality in this country.
In that regard, I ask the Minister of Canadian Heritage to read again the report released in November by the Commissioner of official languages who said that, while the Criminal Code guarantees official language minorities the right to a trial in their language, French remains underutilized in Canadian courts.
A lot of progress still needs to be made in Canada, and there is no doubt that Quebec, not Canada, plays a role in the French-speaking world.
Indian Affairs
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
John Duncan North Island—Powell River, BC
Mr. Speaker, between May 4, 1995 and October 3, 1995 the member for Nanaimo-Cowichan and I highlighted in question period allegations of sexual abuse and misappropriation of band funds of the Lac Barriere band.
On January 23, 1996 the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development recognized an interim band council as the legitimate authority at Lac Barriere. Former Chief Matchewan and his band council continue to subvert the minister's January 23 decree, which has been upheld by the Federal Court.
The real victims are the children who no longer have a school to attend. A group of sympathizers of the former chief and his illegitimate band council have closed the school, wrecked the premises, shut off the town generator and blocked access to the reserve in open defiance of two court injunctions.
I ask the minister to take care and ensure the immediate best interests of the children at Lac Barriere.
Sharpeville Disaster
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Gary Pillitteri Niagara Falls, ON
Mr. Speaker, March 21 commemorates the day when in 1960, 70 peaceful demonstrators against apartheid were killed and over 180 wounded in Sharpeville, South Africa.
Six years later, in 1966, the UN General Assembly proclaimed March 21 International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Today I stand to express my pride in Canada's response to the UN proclamation. Canada was the first country in the world to establish a national education campaign to raise awareness about the destructiveness of racists and racial discrimination.
Because of this initiative and thousands of others undertaken by different levels of government, schools, business and individual Canadians, our country has earned a reputation as a world leader in the fight against racism and racial discrimination. For this reason, we should all be very proud.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Ted McWhinney Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, the recent incident in the eastern Aegean Sea involving Turkey and Greece reminds us that, by virtue of the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923, the further agreement of 1932 and the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947, Greece's sovereignty and territorial title over the Dodecanese Islands, including Imia, are clear and unquestioned in international law.
The European Parliament has now voted to endorse the Greek position by an overwhelming majority. We commend both parties to peaceful settlement of their dispute, and also welcome Greece's acceptance of the jurisdiction of the World Court for this purpose.
Land Mines
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jesse Flis Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of rising in the House to congratulate the federal
government on its January 17 declaration of a unilateral moratorium on the use and sale of anti-personnel land mines.
As an official observer of the 1994 national elections in Cambodia, I had the opportunity to witness the danger and devastation associated with the use of such weapons. Land mines remain a threat to millions of people in nations around the globe. Canada's recently declared moratorium on the production, export and use of these tools of destruction puts us at the forefront of global de-mining activities.
This action only emphasizes Canada's role as a committed, peaceful nation among global powers. As we continue to counteract the sale and use of such violent technology, we ensure the safety of innocent victims in both the present and the future.

Dick Harris Prince George—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week people in my home town of Prince George, B.C. were warned that convicted pedophile, Robert Oatway, had been released on parole and was headed for our city.
He was given parole despite the fact that even corrections officials knew he would reoffend. This is a situation which we see all too often in Canada: dangerous offenders released into society to commit more crimes.
Fortunately, concerned citizens in Prince George, led by Miriam Switzer, posted pictures of Mr. Oatway around the city that warned of his arrival. Their courageous action prevented Mr. Oatway from going to Prince George but unfortunately he has moved on to another city.
The justice system is failing Canadians. It is left to the citizens themselves to protect their communities. It is time to get tough with sexual offenders, including stiffer sentences, no parole and mandatory treatment while they are incarcerated.
Canadians are waiting for safe homes, safe communities and safe playgrounds. What is the Liberal government waiting for?
Financial Institutions

Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, for several months now I have been hearing almost daily from my constituents about the reform of the legislation governing financial institutions. The majority of my constituents are categorically opposed to letting chartered banks into the insurance, annuity and long term car rental markets.
Canadian chartered banks already enjoy unwarranted privileges in the existing financial system. This is why the government had to see to it that they were not allowed to extend their control. The monopoly situation in which chartered banks operate would only have harmed the Canadian consumer. Allowing chartered banks into the insurance business would have thrown open the door to unwarrranted sales pressure and increased the risk of abusive use of personal information about bank clients. I would therefore like to thank the Minister of Finance for having dealt with the issue with respect at least to the insurance aspect.

François Langlois Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, it was with joy and emotion that the inhabitants of Bellechasse, the Côte-du-Sud and all of Quebec learned that the persistent efforts by the local population to preserve and develop Grosse-Île have borne fruit.
Grosse-Île was a quarantine station for tens of thousands of Irish between 1832 and 1937. Next year, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the cholera and typhus epidemic, which claimed over 5,000 victims in 1847, the Irish cemetery on Grosse-Île will be restored and a monument to the medical staff erected.
This is also an opportunity to recall the devotion and hospitality shown by French Canadians towards the Irish, a number of whom were adopted by French Canadian families. Having shared the same land and history as our Irish neighbours for several generations, we have all absorbed their values: courage, tenacity and determination. Long live Grosse-Île and the Irish memorial.
The Budget

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians breathed a sigh of relief once again after the tabling of our finance minister's budget. Our government's third budget does not contain any individual or corporate tax increases. According to the minister's forecast, the federal deficit will be $17 billion or 2 per cent of the GDP for the 1997-98 fiscal year.
The Minister of Finance has shown that it is possible to manage public finances strictly without increasing the taxpayers' burden in order to secure a better future for all Canadians.
The Budget

Peter Milliken Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, the 1996 budget maintained our social programs and tackled Canada's deficit.
On Friday the Reform finance critic tried to present a new and softer image. He said that the Reform taxpayers' budget would only cut $3 billion from transfers to provinces and $16 billion in total over three years and still balance the budget. The hon. member seems to have trouble with his addition and subtraction. He should watch out or one of his colleagues will cane him.
I checked the three-year budget presented by Reform last year. It clearly calls for cuts of $25 billion, $15 billion of which would come from social programs. Other cuts to eliminate the deficit were not revealed to the public.
Canadian voters are too smart to be fooled by the magic wands offered by the Reform Party. Its performance shows, first, that it cannot add numbers, let alone balance a budget; second, its numbers change from year to year; and, third, votes count not integrity.
No wonder the polls show that an overwhelming majority of Canadians trust the Liberal government to tackle the deficit, maintain social programs and build a strong, united country.
Mark Fyke

Ed Harper Simcoe Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, over this past weekend Canadians were shocked and saddened at the tragic death of Mark Fyke, an 18-year-old student from Belleville, Ontario.
It now appears with the arrest of a suspect that both the victim and his killer are the same age. This terrible shooting is a reminder to all Canadians that violence among our young is not restricted to Canada and it is our youth who are most often the victims of these violent teenagers.
Mark, with a full and promising future ahead of him, has been denied that future by the senseless actions of the accused. His family have been denied the love and affection of a son in the prime of his life. Mark's many school friends share the deep loss and hurt that his family are experiencing.
I am sure I speak for all members of the House when I say to Mark's mother and father as well as sister Jennifer and brother Paul that our hearts and thoughts are with you as you come to terms with this tragic loss of a loved one.

Lyle Vanclief Prince Edward—Hastings, ON
Mr. Speaker, I also rise today to extend my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Mark Fyke, an 18-year-old constituent of mine from the city of Belleville who was murdered while on March break in Florida.
The loss of this energetic, bright and respected young man is a brutal and senseless tragedy that has shaken our community and indeed the nation.
I cannot express clearly enough our hope that the murder of this young man will at the very least result in a greater awareness in the state of Florida of the need to act to stem the tide of violent crime that has swept over this tourist region and taken so many innocent lives. This death need not have occurred and it is more than reason enough to ensure that measures are taken to prevent other meaningless murders in the future.
On behalf of the members of the House of Commons and all Canadians I extend our sympathy to Mark's family. I know we all share his family's shock and grief and we will remember them in our prayers.
Semaine Nationale De La Francophonie

Paul Devillers Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Semaine nationale de la francophonie is an opportunity for Canadians to celebrate the presence and development of francophone communities in Canada. There is in my riding, more precisely in and around Penetanguishene, a proud francophone community that is not afraid to take charge of its own future.
I take this opportunity to inform the House that Penetanguishene's francophone community has just signed an agreement with the government, the Île Beausoleil agreement, for the funding of community organizations.
This agreement, which respects the spirit of the Semaine de la francophonie, shows how the francophone culture is thriving not only in Quebec, birth place of Canada's francophonie, but throughout the country.

Paul Crête Kamouraska—Rivière-Du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week is the Semaine nationale de la francophonie and I would like to point out the initiative undertaken by an international development organization whose headquarters are located in my riding.
For the last three years, the Institut de développement Nord-Sud has supported a twinning between two French-speaking intermunicipal entities. The Municipalité régionale de Kamouraska is twinned with the Communauté urbaine de Meknès, in Morocco.
This initiative was the first one in Canada to twin two regions. It encourages cultural exchanges, entails economic spin-offs and
stresses the will of Kamouraska, the birthplace of the French fact in North America, to open itself to the world.
Beyond borders and oceans, French areas are getting together, discussing and acting in French to ensure the mutual well-being of their inhabitants, while respecting and developing their common culture.

December 16 2011 11:45AM
In the first part of a special feature to the Nation Network, we are proud to introduce a guest columnist - WJC Team Canada alumni Brian Sutherby. As a member of the 2002 Silver Medal winning Canadian team, he knows a thing or two about a thing or two. And throughout the 2012 WJC he will be sharing his thoughts on the tournament and memories from his run to the Finals. - WG
Ten years ago this winter a dream came true for me when I was named to the Canadian World Junior team. I consider this to be right up there as one of the greatest accomplishments in my life along side being a 2-time Angler Cup Champion. But that is a story for another day.
When I was a kid, scoring that Stanley Cup winner in road hockey was also accompanied by imagining putting on the Canadian jersey and playing at Christmas time in front of the entire country. For those who make the team it's a dream that has been 18 or 19 years in the making. But on cut day however, in one early phone call, it can be ripped away in an instant.
Silence is all a player wants on this morning. This is the day you never want to hear a phone ring.
In 2001 as an 18 year old I was considered a long shot to make the World Junior team. I wasn't even brought to summer camp until someone got injured, but that was my opening. I had a great showing and that seemed to put me on Stan Butler's radar.
I managed to follow that up with a strong start to the season. As December came I received my camp invite, and I full heartedly believed I could make the team. Unfortunately 4 days before heading off to Toronto for camp, I was admitted to hospital and told I needed an emergency appendectomy.
Sitting there helpless, I asked the Doctor several times if I could recover in 4 or 5 days, or if there was any way to put off the surgery. Obviously he said no. It was devastating. It didn't come from the coach, but that was my cut day.
That was my dreaded phone call.
Knowing I still had next year was the only thing that helped me cope. By 2002 I was 19 years old, not making that team wasn't even an option in my mind. I got off to a good start at camp and didn't look back. By the 4th tryout game, versus the university all-stars, I was made a healthy scratch.
Normally this would be a terrible thing, except I sat out with all the veterans. I was the only player who had the night off that hadn't been with the team the Christmas before. Given the company I was in, and having not been cut earlier that morning. It was a small indication that I was safe and had made the team.
Hear me however when I say a 'small indication'. Nothing was ever said to me and in this game; things can change in a heartbeat.
I still didn't sleep well that night. I took nothing for granted. As we had the 2 previous nights, my roommate and I tossed and turned. Fearing a call that would crush our dreams, all we wanted was our clock to read 6:01 AM which was the deadline for geting "the call."
If you hadn't received a call before then, it meant you had made the team and there was a Team Canada meeting at 6:30 AM. The negative thoughts you try to block out, and the eagerness for the morning to come has you up every 30-40 minutes staring at the clock. It was gut wrenching agony and excitement like no other.
There are moments in your life that literally feel like they were yesterday and this is one of them for me. It was just after 5:30 AM. We laid there in pitch black not talking to one another. The glowing red numbers on the clock moving way to slow, and then the phone rang...
"Noooo!!!" yelled my roommate.
"Oh please don't be for me" I said in my head while clenching my pillow.
We let it ring a couple times almost in disbelief. I would have let it ring forever. The phone was on his side and he slowly picked it up. My mind was racing as he answered the phone, "please don't pass the phone to me" I thought.
As an aside it is quite sad that you are sitting there wishing the ultimate evil upon this guy you just spent four days beside and have become good friends with. But in these moments you have no other option - one or both of us was going home.
After a brief conversation he hung up. "It's me" he said, "I'm done".
So many emotions come over you in that moment. Comforting your friend who you feel terrible for and knowing the pain he is in, while fighting the urge not to jump through the roof in excitement. He packed up his things and quickly left.
I sat there for the next 10 minutes no longer thinking about myself, but my teammate on the Moose Jaw Warriors who was also trying out with me.
We both knew he was on the bubble. I was too scared to call him. As the clock hit 6 there was a knock at my door, he stood there with a huge smile. He had made it to. I wasn't sure if I was happier for him or me in that moment.
Then we started jumping around on the beds like we were 5 years old.
Words can't describe the pride and joy that comes over you, knowing you have survived the final cut and made Team Canada. The thought of winning that gold medal and having all of Canada, and all your family and friends behind you is an incredible feeling.
For this year's team, the journey has just begun. It will provide memories that last a lifetime. All their hard work has paid off and for 22 men they've just passed the first test of many to come.
They don't have to worry about any more phone calls.
excellent post with great insight. the WJC's are my favorite time of the year to bunker down and get mad when we lose and be so proud when we win. my wife tends to monitor the game score closely as to evalute my mood later on.
December 16 2011, 01:08PM
Awesome story, Brian! Keep 'em comin'...
December 16 2011, 05:29PM
Beauty article Brian! So is there any tension between you and Struds both writing on the Nation?... You know... Seeing as you knocked him silly when you 2 fought? I kid I kid. Tipical Edmonton boys, trying to kill eachother.
December 17 2011, 01:33AM
Great Article!!! Super cool to hear about the WJC experience. Butr I must ask one question
December 17 2011, 01:39AM
I would like to see an article jointly writen by Sutherby and Strudwick detailing their bout. And boys please dont leave out the pre punch banter.......pleaase!
Sutherby was a key member of my two-time EHM* cup-winning team, and I think we went to high school together, though I can't be sure.
*EHM is a GM simulator. It's like a video game, except you never play, you just do the trades and sign contracts and hire coaches. It's awesome. Came withing a game of winning three.
Wanye - Excellent to see Sudsy writing for ON. Obviously he's a perfect fit.
Things that people may not know about Brian (but obviously should):
1) He is one of the funniest off ice players that people will ever meet. Had hockey not been an option, stand up comedy would have made him millions.
2) When he goes to golf tournaments in Regina (and he brings his friends) they win 50/50 draws at Roughrider games.
3) When he wins prizes @ said golf tournaments, (such as a Coors Light beer fridge) they are immediately put into the back of his truck and driven home.
4) He has an extensive collection of Denny's rocket ship cups. And yes - they are awesome.
5) He would make an excellent Edmonton Oiler.

Helen Lederer: Finger Food
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2004
One of the UK's most successful and instantly recognisable comic actresses Helen Lederer returns to the Assembly Rooms at the Edinburgh Festival, after an absence of eight years, with a brand new show, described as as "three women in search of a nervous breakdown meets Noises Off!"
Original Review:
The spoof cookery show with which Helen Lederer makes her
return to the fringe proves as appetising as balsa, a bland hotpot
of half-baked ideas, weak characters and mushy parody as vacuous
as the world it tries so hopelessly to satirise.
Lederer's unattractive and one-dimensional character is an
unsuccessful, wishy-washy lifestyle journalist given the chance
to host a pilot episode of some daytime TV drivel while the real
host is away.
As she cooks, she witters meaninglessly about soft furnishings,
kabbalah and her sexual exploits the preceding night, but none
of it makes anything approaching sense. The fact you can barely
hear half the lines Lederer whispers incoherently might be considered
small mercy. She doesn't seem to have all that much interest
in the material, and with tripe like this, who can blame her?
In a vain attempt to shore up the painfully weak premise,
we are introduced to a guest who has written a book combining
cookery and how hilarious is this going to be? sexually
transmitted diseases. So just when you thought it couldn't get
much worse, we go plummeting below the belt. Desperate, desperate
It's typical of a script with no comedy compass, an untidy
mish-mash that leaps all over the place, hoping to find something
that might just possibly be funny. Perhaps everyone involved
is hoping that manic energy might compensate for the lack of
jokes, or sense, but it doesn't. And it's all so unsophisticated
that the best it can muster for a finale isa custard pie in the
Miranda Hart, who plays the beleaguered, hopeless floor manager,
deserves to be mentioned in despatches for making at least a
little sense of it all. But she is the only person to emerge
from this amateur-night shambles with any shred of dignity.

It wasn't that bad at all. It had some very funny ideas which could have been better timed and presented. It needs re-wrting and is potentially very funny indeed.
Martin Wright - 14/08/2004
This should come as no suprise. A talentless fuckwit who was lucky enough to cling onto the bandwagon of Eghties smug ex uni luvvies and has earned money of the back of it ever since. Hopefully she will now lose enough money to remove any delusions that she is funny or has anything to offer.
Alison - 11/08/2004
I was so disappointed. It was as if they'd had the idea in January and forgotten all about it till the end of July then cobbled together something like a school leavers' review. Pathetic. Trading on her name.

Skip to comments.2012 ELECTION LIVE THREAD II !!!!!!!!
Posted on 11/06/2012 4:02:30 PM PST by GQuagmireEdited on 11/06/2012 5:00:14 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Since I haven't seen one yet, I'll start it.
Truly amazing. Hope and change, the messiah, then all the failiures and unkept promises. We bring in a competent candidate that won the debates and the net gain... North Carolina and Indiana. Something stinks.
Dry your eyes.
You sir (or madame) are an ignorant, bigoted fool.
My last bit of optimism just left the building. We are now Greece. Im beyond trying to figure out what goes through the minds of moochers. There are now family members that I will NEVER speak to again. Maybe tomorrow Ill fight back, somehow but for now Im so very sad.
I would say get an EBT card and use it to build up your food stocks, hasten the collapse, use Cloward and Piven AGAINST THEM!
that's what I'm wondering, MY. What happened to those 2 states? Is it in the bag that obama will win both of them or either of them?
It is beginning to look like Gore again, except writ over several states, not one. This will NOT be officially resolved by dawn. Commentators are continuing to apply "conventional political wisdom" to calculate the outcome of a situation that is anything but normal.
It certainly is the end of the Catholic Church in the Us, as Obama carries the "Catholic" states again. Here in NJ the Dems had already shut down many of our schools & hospitals with property tax policies and shrinking government reimbursements for legally mandated services, respectively; ObamaCare will remove the Church as competition in any remaining areas.
The hierarchy of the US Church needs to be replaced ASAP (should have happened years ago); in the meantime they won't see much in the way of contributions from me.
Actually it's a civil war. It's been on-going for some time. The only aspect missing has been the shooting. I fear that will soon change.
I remember Reagan running in 1980 against a failed Democrat incumbent. The Gipper tore the hide offa that peanut farmer every chance he got. Ahhhh, it was great!
Don't give up hope yet. Romney might win CA, OR, and WA! sarc/
I fully expect to get flamed for this but God IS in control. He's fed up with this country. That's why He brought the hurricane to wipe out Romneys' lead. He meant for Obama to win and take out this country. You don't turn your back on Israel without consequences. He said if you turn your back on Israel, I will turn my back on you. Meaning America.
Karl Rove called FOX on the Ohio call. Said it was premature. Carl Cameron said no speeches tonight.
all I can see in front of my eyes is my 16 month old grandsons face. i understand why you're crying
Thanks...needed that.
I'd take Romney over the current poser in a heartbeat.
Did you see this:
"So people apparently want Government healthcare and higher taxes. Dumb asses. Also its apparent some of the Rs in OH went to Obama not Romney."
Most of the people who voted for Obama don't pay taxes so if taxes are raised they don't care. The same people want Government healthcare because they believe it will work as well as their free phones, food stamp debit cards, and Section 8 housing vouchers. When you are on the receiving end of the government handout, every new program looks great.
47% of the population lives off the other 53%. Enough of the 53% allow their emotions to overcome their better judgement so that we are now past the tipping point.
It is scripted.
Scripted to divide us.
Those were already given to obama
ditto for Louisiana.
Ohio 49.5 48.8 (77%) and they all call it for Obama? wtf?
And coal country Ohio slits it's own throat.
I have a question....
How long does good champagne last?
Drink it you will feel better, does not matter what it taste like as long as it does the job!
What a night, 4 more years is just not an option...
I fully expect to get flamed for this but God IS in control. He's fed up with this country. That's why He brought the hurricane to wipe out Romneys' lead. He meant for Obama to win and take out this country. You don't turn your back on Israel without consequences. He said if you turn your back on Israel, I will turn my back on you. Meaning America.
It's not over until the votes are counted. Anyone ever hear what happened with the military's absentee ballots??
Good memories. I don't see Reagan letting 0/dims getting off easy on Benghazi, that's for sure.
Yup, after I made some comments about voter fraud.
The Dems are an evil effing criminal gang and their disgusting thug tentacles are in so many states, stealing the election.
I have no doubt of this.
Well, that's it. The country decided to vote for the status quo.
This is just my two cents, but it seems to me that we have a couple of things that we need to contend with.
1. There are a lot of wishy-washy people who don't appear to believe in anything. It's my opinion that people like that tend to stay that way until they experience some sort of jarring epiphany of a negative sort. If we haven't yet nudged them in that direction (to hijack a leftie term), we have a duty to do so.
2. 95%, give or take, of the black population will vote for a black Dem NO MATTER WHAT. Of course, those of us who have to live next to hellholes like Philly have known that for decades (when Wilson Goode got 99% of the black vote even after running the city into the ground that pretty much proved it). It's right and proper to try to reach out to those among them who are still religious (and not in a "false prophet" Reverend Wright sort of way), but understand that there is a large segment who will never see reason. They've been brainwashed over generations by racial animosity and it's become self-reinforcing. They are literally at "war" in their minds.
3. There is no small amount of people in this country who want "free stuff", no matter who has to pay for it. You could say that they're susceptible to silver-tongued people preaching the "virtue of envy".
4. There is a segment of the white population, on the coasts but also along the Great Lakes, whose primary belief system is in feeling good about themselves and not in any abstract principles of what government is for and what it is not for.
5. We have a real problem with insular groups—ethnic, gender, whatever, that demand to have their asses kissed. What Sandra Fluke taught me is it's not that women can't pay for contraception, it's that they want the rest of the country to kneel and kiss the proverbial ring. The same goes for every other "bloc"—everyone seems to want to have their "special identity" acknowledged so they can feel that they are being respected. Is it a sick twist of "respect"? Of course, but it is what it is.
6. And lastly, there are a lot of really ignorant (read: uneducated) people in this country who believe whatever mushy pablum they see on the tube. They love what they're told to love and hate what they're told to hate.
I don't claim to have answers to all of these issues, but here are my thoughts:
I'm generally a tightwad, but I've gotten somewhat lax in going as Galt as I should be. It's time to redouble my efforts with a newfound intensity. Before I buy something, I'm first going to see if I can do without it or craft it myself. I will especially ask myself, "is this going toward a service as opposed to a physical item?" If the answer is "yes", then I will find a way to do without it.
I've been saying privately that I don't have a problem with people having and using birth control, because the people who seem to need them the most tend to vote for socialism and tend to produce offspring like them. My opinion is that we should ship birth control into the cities by the truckload. If the 95% I mentioned above are determined to be at war with me, then anything that they do that limits their population growth is just fine with me. If I am forced into a war of attrition, then I intend to win it. As General Patton said, "no poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won a war by making the other poor bastard die for his."
In 1980 the suffering became so bad that people had a momentary epiphany, but it was not one of principle—it was utilitarian. The people in this country are capable of principled governance, they are just too uneducated or unwilling to do so. I'm willing to accept that and its conclusion—they will only respond to such a painful epiphany, and only momentarily, but that is better than nothing.
I don't feel depressed, nor do I feel angry. I feel determined, in a very cold, hard way.
Ugh, looks like in addition to another Rat governor, my GOP congressman gets replaced by a commie female. And the NH CD-1 isn't looking great now either.
Correct, but it started just shortly after the republic formed. It was worsened by FDR and LBJ killed it. After Johnson there was no turnig it around.
Hear, hear!
The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail. 45All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. - Deuteronomy 28:43-44
I Recommend reading ALL of Deuteronomy 28 and recognize why America was blessed, and what our future holds from verse 15 to the end of the chapter because we forsook the Lord Our God.
My grandparents fled Russia and the Ukraine to escape tyranny and DIDN'T support what they fled. They would never believe this is what America has become. They felt they OWED it to THIS country to leave it better than they found it. How low so many have sunk and they don't know it....or maybe they do and don't give a rip.
no it wasn't the coal part of the state..it was cleveland .
Well yes, it is part of "some masterful plan."
It's heart breaking to watch. Nobody denies that. But God has not conceded His throne to Satan.
The truth you're not talking about is that white women re-elected Obama. Mathmatically he couldn't have done it without them.
Tokyo Rove trying to save his POS reputation is sickening.
I'm with both of you. Although I thought Romney would win as I am a realist, it is now time to list the house and consider a move to Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Thailand, or anywhere there is a solid ExPat community.
Am still young but if I liquidate everything and become a freeloader before I leave, I might just have enough to live out my years somewhere outside the USA. It will be sad to leave, but the Republicans will never learn to take off the gloves and fight dirty; nor will they ever master the cheating expertise the liberals have perfected.
Go off the grid if you can and let the system collapse - it is the only way to a brighter future. Would rather rise from the ashes than keep giving and pretending.
It's not just Israel. America has turned its back on God. God is just returning the favor.
I for one won't flame you. Romney is a very good man. He would have been an awesome friend to Israel. But it's too late. G-d has given America over to it's vile idol-worshipping evil. It scares me to think of the verse "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you..." But G-d is merciful and will forgive and heal America if she repents.
These media jerks do this all the time.
There is a lot still in play.
drop out. stop paying taxes.
get on welfare.
If you own a business, shut it down.
I said that after 2004. It should have been a landslide. Pinning it on anything, obviously it is whites becoming a minority, and the welfare state expanding out of control. Two things have caused this demographics shift; no border wall (enforcement), and anchor babies. In 15 years from now when the latest wave of anchor babies can vote, we will everything in a landslide.
GOTTA ask yerselves at LEAST 1 question:
WHY didn't the GOP establishment stand up for Herman Cain and push the BS aside like the Dems did for Clinton - whose activities re females was at least an order of magnitude more repulsive than Cain was even in his dreams.
A BLACK Successful Conservative Businessman against a Mixed Race Liberal Career Politician would have been a whole different campaign ......
Let me know if you have the reason..............
While this is not a precisely transferable prophecy, it does outline a pattern of human events. If God blesses you but then you forsake your faith in the One who blessed you, then you will also lose the blessing. America let itself get bullied from within and without into becoming lukewarm about its biblical faith.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the price of gas skyrocket tomorrow..
It's whining like this, that makes conservatives look weak and ineffective. Don't blame anyone but yourself, if you don't succeed.

Tools of communication have transformed American society time and again over the past two centuries. The Museum has preserved many instruments of these changes, from printing presses to personal digital assistants.
The collections include hundreds of artifacts from the printing trade and related fields, including papermaking equipment, wood and metal type collections, bookbinding tools, and typesetting machines. Benjamin Franklin is said to have used one of the printing presses in the collection in 1726.
More than 7,000 objects chart the evolution of electronic communications, including the original telegraph of Samuel Morse and Alexander Graham Bell's early telephones. Radios, televisions, tape recorders, and the tools of the computer age are part of the collections, along with wireless phones and a satellite tracking system.

Saint Receiving Monk's Habit
- Description
- Abbé Jean-Claude-Richard de Saint-Non made this aquatint from a drawing by Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) of an altarpiece by Guercino in the church of San Gregorio in Bologna, Italy. While visiting Rome, Saint-Non invited Fragonard, then at the French Academy in Rome, to accompany him on a tour of northern Italy to visit sites of historic and artistic interest. Fragonard made more than 300 sketches, some of which Saint-Non used as a basis for prints that were issued in Paris between 1770 and 1774.
- Saint-Non, a wealthy amateur etcher assisted by Jean-Baptiste Delafosse, a professional printmaker, invented a successful aquatint process in 1765. In this process, the artist dusts rosin powder onto a copper plate, which is heated to adhere the rosin. The plate is then etched in acid to create a rough surface that captures the ink to provide tonal areas in the print.
- The painting by Guercino (1591–1666) shows Saint William dressed in armor putting on a monk's habit before Saint Benedict of Aniane. Saint William, formerly the Duke of Aquitaine, had fought bravely against Moorish invaders in Spain and France, but in 806 he retired from the world to become a monk in the monastery he had founded.

'a serious reference work which, unusually, is also a rewarding read for the casual browser...[a] good Companion to student, historian or lay reader alike' - Neil Johnston, Belfast Telegraph
In a field that has long been at the epicentre of political and academic debate, The Oxford Companion to Irish History offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide to all aspects of this fascinating and complex land. Written by a team of 91 renowned experts in the field of Irish studies, the Companion's 1,800 A-Z entries explore Irish history from earliest times to the early 21st century. Revised and updated this second edition of the Companion takes an inclusive approach to Irish history, with entries ranging from horse racing to Home Rule, bogs to boxing, and Parnell to parliaments. Traditional topics such as the rebellion of 1798 and the Irish Civil War can be found alongside entries on newly developing areas such as women's history and popular culture. It combines concise definitions with in-depth analytical essays, while its Appendices include maps and a subject index, which groups headwords into thematic batches to provide an alternative way to access the entries.
The Oxford Companion to Irish History is invaluable to students of Irish and British history as a work of general reference, and to the general public with an interest in the history and culture of Ireland.

A Comedy of Bad Manners
January 13th, 2012 by Donna White
"Carnage" opens in a park with a group of kids taunting one lone boy who walks ahead, trying to get away from them. He takes their crap for a bit, then picks up a stick and swipes the leader of the pack in the face with it. Cut to:
Four tight-jawed parents are crammed awkwardly in a home office awaiting the final printing of a document they've agreed upon, which puts the responsibility of the incident squarely on the stick-bearing boy, and leaves the bully blameless. The elephant in the room being that this is the most expedient way to avoid a lawsuit.
The mother of said stick-bearer is played by Kate Winslet, who is ever so apologetic and says all the right things with such precision and care as to make it abundantly clear they were rehearsed, probably in the car on the way over with her spouse (Christoph Waltz), who has a harder time concealing his contempt for these proceedings. Jodie Foster plays the mother of the boy who was struck in the face, an unbearably strident woman who takes every opportunity to blow the incident out of proportion while her affable husband (John C. Reilly) goes out of his way to smooth things over with his aw-shucks good-natured demeanor.
What follows is an afternoon of tea and crumpets (so to speak) that devolves in ways I wouldn't dare give away. Suffice to say the following: you've never seen Kate Winslet do THAT before. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Give
Overview | Make a Gift | Make a Bequest | Giving stories | Benefits
The National Gallery of Australia relies on the generosity of its supporters to assist with the cost of acquiring works of art and providing programs and services that promote the visual arts to visitors throughout the nation and internationally.
Benefaction programs
The Foundation
Foundation is the Gallery's major acquisition fund and umbrella organisation for all Gallery benefactor groups. You can join the Gallery's Foundation via many ways of donation and contibuting to other vital resources such as the Library or Conservation departments. Donations should be directed to the National Gallery of Australia Foundation. The National Gallery of Australia's Foundation is a registered charity and provides official receipts for tax purposes.
The Bequest Circle
The National Gallery of Australia Bequest Circle was launched in November 2008 as a way of recognising the important role that bequest benefactors play in the development of the national art collection and the Gallery's programs for future generations.
The Bequest Circle was introduced to acknowledge and honour bequest donors during their lifetime. It provides existing and potential bequest donors the opportunity to enjoy a closer relationship with the Gallery and be involved with Foundation events.
Bequests to the Gallery, of whatever size, assist to strengthen and develop the national art collection. These gifts stand as a lasting tribute to the generosity and vision of the Gallery's benefactors.

American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia (AFNGA)
In the early 1980's L. Gordon Darling AC approached a small number of prominent Americans in New York who had links and friendships with Australians. He sought their help to support and enrich the National Gallery's collection of art. The result was the creation of the American Friends of the Australian National Gallery (AFNGA).
A donation to the National Gallery of Australia may take the form of cash, or property, such as shares and securities or a work of art, which meet the Gallery's acquisition policy. Gifts of cash or property may be made to the National Gallery of Australia or cash, shares and securities, to the National Gallery of Australia Foundation. Support the National Gallery of Australia, make a donation.
Donating money
Cash donations are fully tax deductible and 100% of your donation will be used towards the specified cause. Cash donations may be made to the general fund, the Masterpieces for the Nation Fund or for a specific purpose such as the acquisition of a work of art, the presentation of exhibitions, publications or the delivery of education and conservation programs.
Donating works of art
You may wish to donate a work of art to the Gallery. All proposed gifts of works of art will need to be discussed with the relevant curator and approved by the Gallery's Acquisition Committee. Gifts of works of art made under the Cultural Gifts Program will entitle you to a tax deduction, which may be spread over five years.
The National Gallery of Australia and the Foundation seek to acknowledge the support provided by its benefactors. Some benefactors may wish to be acknowledged, others may wish to remain anonymous—your wishes will be honoured.
All non-anonymous donations (including notified bequests) are acknowledged in our quarterly magazine artonview and in the annual report . Donors of $100 000 or more will also be acknowledged on the honour boards placed in the foyer of the Gallery.
Donations of $1000 or more will entitle you to become a member of the Foundation . Donors are represented at their respective membership level in the annual report.
Tax treatments
There are many ways that you can assist the Gallery to achieve our vision:
Donation programs
Masterpieces for the Nation
Since it was initiated in 2003, the annual Masterpieces for the Nation Fund has assisted the Gallery to acquire many significant works of art for the national art collection including Sydney Long's Flamingoes c 1905–06, Jeffrey Smart's Lovers by house 1956, an eighteenth-century Indian pichhavai: Autumn moon festival (Sharad Purnima), and Doreen Reid Nakamarra's Untitled 2007. In 2009, the Foundation raised funds to acquire Shearing Shed, Newstead 1893–94 by Tom Roberts.
The Masterpieces for the Nation Fund is one of the many ways you can give to the National Gallery of Australia through the Foundation. Your contribution will be acknowledged in Artonview and the National Gallery of Australia Foundation Annual Report. Donations are tax-deductible and contributions of $1000 or more make you eligible to become a life member of the National Gallery of Australia Foundation .

Treasure a textile
The National Gallery of Australia holds one of the finest Asian textile collections in the world. Conserving textiles for display and to stabilise their condition is a time consuming and specialised task. We are pleased to offer a unique program enabling interested members of the public to support the conservation of particular textile treasures and learn about Asian textiles at the same time.
Cultural gifts program
Donations of works of art to the National Gallery of Australia may be given under the Cultural Gifts Program, which encourages gifts of significant cultural items to public art galleries by offering donors a tax deduction for the market value of their gifts.
The Cultural Gifts Program is administered by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in Canberra in accordance with the gift provisions of the income tax law and with the advice of the Committee on Taxation Incentives for the Arts.
- Please refer to the Cultural Gifts Program website for further information
- The market value of the gift is fully tax deductible, with some exceptions
- Donors can elect to spread the deduction over a maximum of five income years
- Gifts are exempt from capital gains tax.
- See tax treatments FAQ
You may contact the Secretariat of the program on (02) 6275 9651.
Pre-tax workplace giving
The Gallery has recently adopted a new tax-effective scheme to assist staff and supporters in donating through the payroll system. The scheme, supported by the Australian Taxation Office, allows you to commit a regular amount as small as a $2 cup of coffee to go directly to the gallery each fortnight through your payroll. You receive upfront tax relief as donations are deducted from your pre-tax pay and there is no need for receipts as a summary of donations is included on your annual Payment Summary at the end of each financial year.
Many companies, understanding the need for businesses to take an active role in the broader community, are adopting a similar scheme. If Workplace Giving is not available in your organisation and you would like some information to pass on to your Human Resource Department or Payroll Officer, we would be happy to assist.

Super Cute, Great Quality
"So much cuter in person than on the website! Really good quality suede, all the pretty studs were completely in tact and I love that they send an extra pack of studs just in case they should fall off (which, let's face it, I'm sure we'll lose some over time). Calf is wide enough to wear over jeans, I only wish that the calf were a bit tighter (or even adjustable) so that the top of the boot was a bit sturdier. All in all, it's a great boot!"

"I bought this bootie to take to Las Vegas tp wear during the eveings. It is the perfect bootie to dress up and down. I wore them with jeans and narrow black dress pants. What I liked about this shoe was becase it was so versatile I did not have to pack any other heel shoes and being a shoe person that was a first for me. Love, love, love them."

Versatile and Very Comfortable
"I love these shoes. The heel is the perfect height, and they can be paired with any outfit. I wore them out one night, and my feet never hurt at all."

If you love booties, it'll become a staple
"They're stylish, they go with almost everything from pants to skirts to dressing up or dressing down, and very comfy for its heel height. They look more expensive than they are. Plus, the ankle width of these boots aren't wide like most booties I've seen, so they're good for smaller ankles. Really love these."

Great summer bag.
"This tote bag is so cute. I ordered it in turquoise and the color is stunning in person. I went back and ordered two more to give as gifts to friends. It is very roomy and will hold all of your summer essentials, towels, sunscreen, bathing suit, etc. The only complaint that I have is the structure of the bag is not very stable - it is very slouchy, so I don't know how it will hold up over time."
