Zuzu and Zizi immediately went to the door and barked. Another person trying to sell things or con me, I thought. Zach, being the better saint among the two of us went to get the door.
It was an Indian woman with a baby in her arms and another boy standing beside her.
"Minta tolong abang. Duit gaji saya belum masuk hari ini kerana hari minggu. Baby saya sudah tiga hari tak minum susu. Minum kopi saja. Minta tolong pinjam duit beli susu.."
"I need help, sir. My salary hasn't been banked in because it's a weekend but my baby has not been drinking milk for the past 3 days but was surviving on coffee. I would like to ask a favor to borrow some money to buy some milk powder for my baby"
I'm not known to be charitable. Most of the time I would brush off anyone who tried to ask me to give my money for charity (because there were so many hoaxes, you just don't know who to trust). However, that night I did something different.
I told the lady that I wasn't going to borrow her any money that evening. But, I would like to buy her baby the milk powder of her choice. She smiled in delight. Zach and I got out of the house with her and took the lift to the grocery store right below our flat. I was very cautious to ensure there weren't anyone hiding behind corners to ambush us or whatever (too much cruelty and crime in KL made me take precaution). It was a genuine plea for help after all.
At the grocery store, I asked the mother which brand of milk powder her baby usually takes and I bought 2 packets for the baby. The mother told me when she was going to pay me back, but I told her, it's all good. I don't need her to repay me but she'll have to promise me not to feed her baby with coffee again.
After that, Zach and I went for dinner and I was, for once, happy that I helped someone genuinely.
P.S. It has always been my motto that if I help someone, it has to be something concrete and not just a plea for money. If anyone is starving and needs food, I've in the past bought food for him/her but never offer money for him/her to buy the food.

every song is amazing, just is. very good band
Their 1st album was good as well, self titled, Black River, but it felt like it was more of start up album, to get used to themselves, and how they contribute in the band. And then, this album comes out a year later, proving themselves more than just some musicians from really fast heavy metal bands. truly an amazing band, album, and just a group of very talented musicians.
its pretty tripped out, how the bass player in Black River is none other than Orion, bass player from Blackened Death Metal band Behemoth, and front man/guitarist from his own band, Vesania. For him to make a jump from blackened death metal/philosophical metal, to hard rock, its both awesome and WTF.lol, he plays a very good role in Black River, for anyone who isn't in the whole black metal/death metal thing, they are just a hard rock band, no "SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!...y eah!"
for those semi hard rock/ rock n roll listeners, Them Crooked Vultures
From left to right:
John Paul Jones - John Paul Jones – Bass, Keyboard, Piano, Keytar, Slide Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals (Led Zeppelin, Donovan, Foo Fighters, Butthole Surfers)

(live member)Alain Johannes – Rhythm Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Backing Vocals (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age, Desert Sessions, Anthym, What Is This?, Jason Falkner, Jack Irons, Spinnerette, Chris Cornell, UNKLE, Mark Lanegan Band, Millionaire, Eagles of Death Metal, Mondo Generator)

Them Crooked Vultures is a band that I've been so fucking hyped about and waited all this time to listen to because..the band is a supergroup with none other than Josh Homme from Queens of The Stone Age doing vocals and guitars, legendary Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones doing bass, keyboards, back-up vocals, piano, keytar, slide guitar, and mandolin, and the drummer ISSSS..*drum roll* pretty much legendary Nirvana drummer, and vocalist/guitarist of Foo Fighters Dave Grohl doing drums, percussion and back-up vocals
their debut album will be coming out the 17th of November, and i cant wait!
The debut self titled album can be heard at their Youtube Channel
Them Crooked Vultures Youtube Channel
this band i really really recommend, even if you dont like hard rock and only listen to AAAAANIMUUUUU M00SIK, you should know when you hear good music, Them Crooked Vultures is truly a prayer answered by the rock god, Lemmy from Motorhead
you can really hear the Led Zeppelin like influence in this band..then again, friggin JOHN PAUL JONES!!! is the bass player, not only the bass player, he plays so many other instruments
Did you like the bands, and have a myspace account?

Jason Gregor
September 29 2012 08:22AM
In order for a movie to be considered great it needs to appeal to different generations. I've watched a few movies that I loved when I was 20, but today I don't relate to them as much. A great movie, however, will be timeless and whenever you sit down and watch it will capture your imagination.
One of my father's favourite movies was the 1967 classic, The Dirty Dozen. The star-studded cast included Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savales, Charles Bronson, star runningback Jim Brown and John Cassavetes who earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor as Viktor Franko.
Today marks the 12th anniversary of my father's passing, clearly the reason The Dirty Dozen popped into my head, and each year as this day draws closer memories of Dad flood my brain. My wife, Traci, had never seen the movie so we watched it last night. The Dirty Dozen is still great, however, my mind wandered through most of it thinking about Dad.
He loved watching movies. I picture him in his old ratty white t-shirt making popcorn on the stove. He'd think he was the popcorn guru ferociously sliding the pot back and forth across the burner to ensure every kernel was popped. He always made more than enough, offered us each our own cereal bowl full, and then wheeled downstairs to his trusty orange rocking chair. The Fly was his #1 favourite movie, I think he watched it 100 times, but The Dirty Dozen was near the top.
William Arthur Gregor was only 56 years young when his heart gave out. He had dropped my mother off at her physio appointment in Sherwood Park and planned to run some errands before picking her up. Sadly he never made it back.
At a red light he bumped into the car in front of him. A Good Samaritan got out and quickly recognized something was wrong and called 911. A policeman was a few blocks away, but by the time he got there Dad was gone. It pains me to think that he died alone; however, the officer said the stranger from the car spoke to Dad and stood by him during his final breaths. We never got to thank that man, but I hope he knows we are incredibly grateful for his kind-hearted actions.
I was 27 when my brother, Colin, tracked me down to tell me the awful news. It was a Friday night. I had gone to the Oiler game with my roommate Jeff and then we met up with some buddies and hit the town. I didn't have a cell phone and I still chuckle at how Colin knew which bar we'd be at. Thankfully, my partying ways were predictable.
He told me to come outside and proceeded to tell me our father had passed away. Hearing the news was hard, but I bet it was difficult for him to tell me. In some ways I feel lucky that I was the last to find out, because I had instant support from my family. I got into the car along with my sister Rachel, brother-in-law Eric and sister-in-law Elise and drove to the farm to see Mom. After they told me the specifics, my first question was, "How's Mom?"
My parents had a whirlwind romance. They met at the post office in Grande Cache in March of 1969, got engaged three weeks later and were married on August 23rd of the same year. Over the next 31 years their friendship and love strengthened, and after watching my baby sister get married in August of 2000 they were planning on traveling the world.
Twelve years later the memory of walking into the farmhouse and seeing my mom still brings me to tears. She got up from the table, walked to the back entrance and we hugged. Her eyes told me everything. Her true love was gone. We didn't say a word; we just hugged each other tight until we both started to cry. There was nothing I could say in that moment that would make either of us feel better, and that's when I realized that sometimes a hug is more comforting than words.
I am normally a very social person. I love talking and joking with people, but over the next five days, while our house was filled with friends and family offering their condolences, I spent a lot of time in the barnyard by myself. Dad and I had spent countless hours working around the barn, corrals and fields, and in those places I could still feel his presence.
Like most young men I didn't like to cry in front of people. I'd convinced myself that crying was a weakness, so I tried to only do it when I was alone. During the days leading up to Dad's funeral I spent as much time as I could in the barnyard, and I shed a few tears sitting on the straw bales in the barn thinking about him. To this day, when I walk through the white gate by the garage and into the barnyard a sense of calm and happiness saturates my body.
I was incredibly lucky to have William Gregor as my father. If you met my father you'll know what I mean. If you didn't… he had an unbelievable zest for life; an ability to make everyone he met comfortable and most importantly he had a huge heart. It's too bad his heart gave out so soon.
He was a loving and loyal husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend. He rarely gave fatherly advice; instead he showed you how a good man carries himself through his actions.
If you feel this way about your father, be sure to tell him. Over the past 11 years I've received many replies from men about my letter and every one of them mentioned how they hope their children love and respect them the way I did my father.
Don't fool yourself into thinking "the old man" wouldn't want to hear that from you. Fathers want nothing more than to know their children love and respect them. When you tell him look into his eyes and you'll see his pride.
On the morning of my father's funeral I couldn't sleep so I sat at my computer and sent an email to my friends. I asked for their thoughts and prayers, but most importantly I asked them to tell their fathers they loved them. I hoped that through their actions my dad would know how much I loved him.
Today, after you've taken the time to read this, I ask that you do the same.
This year I wanted to thank those, many who are unaware they are even doing it; who helped me remember my father. Every year I could write about a different life lesson he taught me, but this year I wanted to focus on your actions.
Since his funeral I've become much more comfortable with my inner emotions. While I'm not a fan of crying, I'm also not afraid to let it happen anymore. Traci jokingly teases me and says that I'm the "cryer" in our house. Most movies that involve a father and son choke me up, and of course any real-life sports movie or documentary opens up my tear ducts.
Lately, however, when I see someone acting like my father my eyes well up. Too often we get caught up in all the negative aspects of life, but everyday I see many positive actions that warm my heart.
Thank you to the fathers who build backyard rinks for their kids.
My friend Dregs takes great pride in his rink. Guys love to build things, so I know that is part of it, but mostly fathers like watching the enjoyment it brings for their children.
We grew up on the farm so Dad never had to build us a rink, he just had to clear the snow off the dugout and we'd play for hours. Dad never played hockey growing up, but he knew how to skate and loved playing shinny with Mom, Colin and I. We had a fire by the pond and we'd play for hours. It was such a great bonding moment.
If your dad built you a rink make sure you thank him, and if you are in the planning stages for this year make sure you enjoy it. It will build lifelong memories and strengthen the bond between you and your kids.
Thank you to the husbands who love and respect your wives.
To those who open her car door, pull out her chair in a restaurant, put away your phone during dinner and listen to her, surprise her with flowers or a love note, cuddle her on the couch, hold her hand on a walk, and most importantly support and encourage her, I say thank you.
Your actions make the void of my father much more bearable. By watching your good deeds, it reminds me of what a great man he was.
Thank you to the fathers who love and support your kids.
To those who drive your kids to every dance recital, sporting event, school activity and then stick around and watch them, thank you.
To those who introduce your kids to new activities or ones you loved as a child I applaud you. Kids want your time much more than they want the material things you can provide.
To those who help their kids with their homework. You likely fake your way through some of the questions, but just sitting at the table shows your children how much you care.
Your actions remind me of all the good times I shared with my father.
Thank you to the men who help your extended family, friends and sometimes even strangers.
To those who donate to charities, volunteer in your community, help your neighbour, help your friends move, love and accept your in-laws and don't gossip at work, I say thank you.
The world is a much better place than we think, and when we take the time to acknowledge the good aspects of life our days are much more fulfilling. Thank you for doing the little things that put a smile on someone else's face.
In the past year I've started reading more books. I prefer true stories and I'd highly recommend Escape from Camp 14, Unbroken, A Million Little Pieces, Lullabies for Little Criminals, Tuesdays with Morrie and Have A Little Faith.
Mitch Albom's Have A Little Faith really made me think about life. The following excerpt is a Sermon from the Reb (Albert Lewis) one of the main protagonists, and a truly wonderful man.
"A man seeks employment on a farm. He hands his letter of recommendation to his new employer. It reads simply, 'He sleeps in a storm."
"The owner is desperate for help, so he hires the man. Several weeks pass, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, a powerful storm rips through the valley. Awakened by the swirling rain and howling wind the owner leaps out of bed. He calls for his hired hand, but the man is sleeping soundly."
"So he dashes off to the barn. He sees, to his amazement, that the animals are secure with plenty of feed. He runs out to the field. He sees the bales of wheat have been bound and are wrapped in tarpaulins. He races to the silo. The doors are latched and the grain is dry.
"And then he understands, 'He sleeps in a storm.'
"My friends if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of 'I could have, I should have.' We can sleep in a storm.
"And when it's time, our goodbyes will be complete."
I never had the chance to "officially" say goodbye to my father, but I never had any regrets because we knew we loved each other. I was lucky enough to receive a surprise call from him two days before he passed though. I am very grateful he made that call, but more importantly I'm thankful and happy about how he acted during my lifetime.
How he loved his children and my mom made his passing much easier to absorb.
Don't wait for tomorrow to tell your father how you feel. And fathers don't wait to show and express to your family how much they mean to you.
Many of you are now fathers, and I implore you to make time for your kids. I could go on forever writing stories of my father and the times we shared, but the one constant was that he was always took an interest in my life. He came to all my sporting events, taught me how to drive, shared a casual beer on a Saturday night when I became older and most importantly, without having to say it, his actions showed me I could always count on him. Rarely did we say, "I Love You," but his supportive actions and interest in my life showed me he did.
Thanks in advance to those who follow through on my request. I offer my condolences to all of you who have lost your father, and I hope that his memories warm your heart. If your father is gone make sure you call your mother, because the void in her heart is likely much deeper than yours.
Dad, I love you deeply. I miss your popcorn, your laugh and your love. Please watch over all of my family, friends, my lovely wife Traci and especially your soulmate; Mom.
Love, your son, Jason
Take a moment and listen to The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics. Especially at 1:49. Don't wait to tell your father what he means to you. Have a great day.
September 29 2012, 08:42AM
Always a moving piece. Thank you for sharing, Jason. I lost my father this past February and I think of him every day.
September 29 2012, 08:43AM
Hi, Gregor.
Each year I read this, I tear up. Your old man was a great man, and I wish that more kids could appreciate what they have like you did.
Have a great day.
September 29 2012, 08:58AM
Thank you for this, Jason. My bio dad walked out on me when I was 2 & my step dad was, well, full of demons. I promised myself not to become either of these things & thus far, my wife & 3 daughters can probably attest to that. Thanks for sharing this today. Even though we've never met in passing, it's great to know you shared this relationship with your dad since some of us just never get the opportunity
This is your best article yet ! Made me tear up. Sorry for your loss.
I'm always surprised how fast a year goes when these beautiful articles show up again. I love them, and your challenge to be decent men is commendable. I also hate them because I have to read them in the bathroom so I don't need to explain the weeping to the family ;)
September 29 2012, 09:04AM
One quote I remember, truly believe, and certainly fits in with part of your excellent offering about your Dad, seems to fit him to a tee ,
"The greatest gift a man can give his children, is to love their mother".
Jason, you do your father's legacy proud everyday with your tireless charity work, your infinite patience with our comments on your show and this site. I could go on.
I am certain your father beaming with pride everyday and looking forward to when you become a dad.
Arch, sorry to hear about your father, thoughts and prayers dude.
September 29 2012, 09:09AM
Tugged on the ol heart strings..great piece man. As a single father of three I make damn sure I let my kids know how much they mean to me...thanks for writing this and pointing out how great our dads are
Thanks for this Jason. You look just like him.
Thanks for this Jason. You look just like him.
September 29 2012, 09:52AM
As always, thanks for this Gregor.
September 29 2012, 10:23AM
Every year, I find it hard to come up with a fitting comment but just want to say thank you, Jason. Every year after this article, I do send my Dad a message thanking him for everything he does and did for me in my life. Thanks again.
I lost my Dad this July 14. He was the greatest man I ever knew. Thank- you for this piece.
September 29 2012, 10:38AM
Perfect sentiments, Jason. Thank you.
September 29 2012, 10:56AM
Props for everyone today.
A very moving read Gregor, thank you.
September 29 2012, 11:00AM
Thank you.
By being generous enough to share your life with us all ,you have allowed your Father to give the wonderful gifts he gave to you to all the young and old men in this world who never experienced the loving teaching arms of a man like your Father.The love and guidance given to you have shone through your words and will forever be an example for all of us to aspire to as Men and Fathers.
I need to find the Kleenex box now,and then make an important phone call.
September 29 2012, 11:04AM
I am very happy for you to have had such a close, loving relationship with your father Jason. If I were able to plan out my life I can imagine wanting to have a father just like yours. My story is very different, I have never known who my father is. He took off when he found out my mother was pregnant with me, and that cowardly act has affected my life in every way possible. I have been haunted by his absence my entire life, so even though you had far too little time with your dad Jason, he has left you with so much. When you and Traci have your own children, your father will be a constant presence in your heart and mind, you will think of him often, embrace his memory, he still has so much more to teach you. Thank you for sharing your dad with us.
September 29 2012, 11:35AM
No matter how many times we have the opportunity to read this, i still shed a tear.
Thanks for keeping us grounded Jason.
Sorry for your loss.
September 29 2012, 11:47AM
I remember your Dad well from the time he was Rec director in Grande Cache, at which time I served a term as charter member of the local recreation board. You Mom also performed admirably as the social conscience of the new town by writing a column in the local newspaper.
September 29 2012, 12:42PM
Hey Jason, thank you for this. I was adopted and was raised in a VERY loving home and my dad was my hero. As i grew up i learned that my dad may not have been the best husband or family provider, but that never changed who he was to me growing up. I was recently reunited with my biological mother who has lost both her parents, and has imprinted on me just how painful life is without your parents. I am going to make TWO phone calls now...
September 29 2012, 01:43PM
Jason: Thanks for that. Brings tears to my eyes. I remember your Dad Very Well I still think of him from time to time. He was always at the rink with you whether it was a practice or a game. He was always supportive, always had a Great Attitude. Say Hi to your Mom for me. Your old coach Keith Hay
Gregor, you ass. Every year. I open the browser on my phone as I sit across from my wife and check out ON. See the title of the article, see you dad and look at my wife. I tell her to excuse me for a couple moments as I will surely be crying in the next five minutes.
September 13th, 2002. The day I lost my hero. He was 57 and I was 25. As I read your articles each year, it makes me wonder if my dad had another brother I knew nothing about. It makes me happy to see some other people had a truly great childhood with parents that really knew what mattered. In a day and age when too many marriages go by the wayside I still try live mine by the example my father showed and I believe you father did the same thing.
I know what you mean about you Mom and even now I tell her she should meet a guy, go on, be happy. But when the love was true no other will truly ever do. I know her heart will have a void for the rest of her life and try to let her know how much I care all the time to help fill it.
And this damn song JG. You see for me it's the 3:50 point of it. I don't know if you plan on having kids but I will tell you that if you do, and you ever want a living memory of you dad, whew. Just little things they do. Because they do what you do. And you do what your dad did. Some days it just gives me chills when I just see it.
Thanks for sharing your feelings with us and encouraging men to be real men. As we rant and rave on here daily about a group of guys who fight over a rubber disc and the billions of dollars it worth, remember what truly matters, your families and friends. Jason, you were young like I was but I think you know just like I do, your Dad would be proud. You handle you self well, you are a class act and this is just another reason why you have great respect and a great following. Remembering what really matters.
Thanks Gregor. This yearly tribute to your Dad is a great way to see how a husband and father should be.
September 29 2012, 06:49PM
Real men cry JG.
September 29 2012, 07:55PM
So good. So touching.
September 29 2012, 09:22PM
To continue, on a very serious note, those of you talking about urinary issues the other day should consider getting checked for prostate issues. That way you and your kids would likely have more time together. Spoken from experience of being treated for prostate cancer..
Very moving piece .Sorry for your loss.
Know what is worse than losing your father.
Never having one in your life.
Some get to feel the joy of fatherly love and have great memories.
Other don't. Be thankful of the time you had with him.

Definitely moved by your article. When my Dad passed away, we lived hundreds of miles apart and I only saw him 2 or 3 times a year. Once in a blue moon, I would call him on the telephone. People didn't make long distance calls so readily back then like they do today. I felt impressed to call him one night and had a nice talk. We talked about his garden and a problem he was having with the plumbing in the house. We spoke about my new job and I caught him a little about our kids. About an hour after we spoke, my mother called me to tell me that we're at the hospital and my Dad was showing signs of a stroke. He slipped into a comma and died a few days later. It may have just been a coincidence that I called him that night or perhaps without even being aware of it, I had some sort of premonition about his death prompting me to enjoy one last conversation with him. I will always be grateful for that opportunity.
A wonderful tear-jerker Mr. Gregor. I can especially identify with the whole crying alone part of grief. Since I was 6 years old I've only wept (more than a couple of tears) twice: when my great Aunt passed away, the first real loss in my life, and I can still remember my mom chastising me for losing composure, and the second time was at my mother's bedside, about 4 hours before she passed away (yeah, I wasn't very good at listening to her I guess).
Without death, there wouldn't be life. If we had forever to do everything, we'd never do anything. Mortality is a gift that teaches us to cherish what we have.

Thanks for writing about the most important things in life..... As much as we love sports, nothing comes close to spending quality time with our love one... God bless you Gregor!,
September 30 2012, 01:22AM
Gregor, Thank you for sharing! I lost my big brother 6 years ago and my Mom 1 year ago! In these last 6 years (especially this last one)I have found my best friend... My Dad! Not everyone sees him as the sweet, caring guy but his heart is made of gold! And I get to see it everyday and my 9 year old son sees it everyday! I am a little jealous, I think my dad likes my son more than me! I LOVE IT! Thanks for the tears, I REALLY ENJOYED THEM!

What a beautiful story Jason! My favourite part was the love story of your mom and dad. They both look so in love and happy on that picture. I am sorry to hear that you didn't get to say goodbye to your dad…I firmly believe that they are always around us, your dad is always around you.
I am not a good writer....but I will try my best. Thirteen years ago when my dad passed away of Cancer and I was already in Canada. I didn't make it home to see him for the last time. Being a single mom at that time, with no money, no family and just have few friends, I didn't come up with enough money to pay for my airfare. So I talked to my dad on the phone for the very last time and told him that I can't go home, that was the most difficult long distance call I have ever made in my life. Knowing that it will be my last conversation with my dad, and I can imagine how hard that was for him not to see his baby girl for the last time. Then I told to my dad that I will send that little bit of money that I came up with to my mom to help her pay for the medical bills and funeral expenses, which I know for sure my dad was also worrying about before his last days. I got to say my last words to my dad and it made me feel better, eventhough I didn't make it home to see him for the very last time. You are right Jason, we should always tell the people we love how much we love them always!
We have a picture of my dad and my brother Arman - who just passed away last year, we always light a candle for them and once in a while my husband would buy some flowers for them. I know that my dad was always worrying about me especially knowing that I am many million miles away from home, his wishes was for her baby girl to meet a wonderful man. It took a long time before I met that wonderful man in my life but it was worth waiting for him and you know him very well….he is Sam's Dad" my soul mate and the LOVE OF MY LIFE, we both have no family here but we have each other now and our children.
I know that my father is very happy now that I finally found the right man!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
September 30 2012, 09:01AM
Very nicely done.
I lost my Dad suddenly 8 years ago to a pulmonary embolism. He was only 58 years old. I never got to say goodbye to him either. He never got to meet my kids who have been born since.
Sounds like our fathers were very similar - that means we're both fortunate.
Thanks for sharing, Jason.
I remember learning to skate when I was barely 4 at the rink my dad made when we lived up in Fort McMurray in a trailer at the time.
Looking back, the rink couldn't have been very big, but to me at that time, it was enormous! My dad would put me and my older brother on the ice and give us each a lawn chair to hold onto and push around.
We then moved to Fort Sask when I was 5 and was lucky to have my Dad coaching our tom thumb team in hockey. Dad continued to coach me through the years all the way up to Pee Wee. My Dad was always my hero and always will be.
Thanks Dad, love you!

Limiting Armed Drone Proliferation
In this Council Special Report, Douglas Dillon Fellow Micah Zenko and Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow Sarah Kreps argue that it is essential to begin working now to expand and establish rules and norms governing armed drones. By doing so, they predict, the United States will create standards of behavior that other countries will be more likely to follow.

BLM Director Approves Nearly $300,000 in Funding for Projects Aimed at Improving Conditions on Western Rangelands Where Wild Horses and Burros Roam
As part of the Bureau of Land Management's ongoing effort to engage volunteers in the stewardship of U.S. public lands, BLM Director Bob Abbey announced today that he has approved nearly $300,000 in the current fiscal year for 12 projects aimed at improving Western rangeland conditions where wild horses and burros roam. The on-the-ground work will also support the BLM's forthcoming strategy to put its national Wild Horse and Burro Program on a sustainable path, as called for by the Government Accountability Office and members of Congress.
The "Director's Challenge" initiative, announced by Abbey last October, seeks to offer citizen-based science opportunities to address land health issues within wild horse and burro Herd Management Areas (HMAs) across the West. The projects were reviewed by a team of BLM employees and Jim Stephenson, the Natural Resources Management representative on the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board. The approved projects include conducting inventories of water sources, monitoring riparian area conditions, removing invasive plant species, and protecting spring sources.
"I am delighted with the projects submitted by BLM field offices in response to this initiative," Abbey said. "Citizens, organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders will now have new opportunities to take a hands-on role in the stewardship of America's public lands."
Abbey also commended the Bureau's national volunteer program, which oversaw 114,027 hours of wild horse-related work by volunteers and organization-sponsored workers in Fiscal Year 2010. "Volunteers not only contribute their valuable time and labor, but also serve as the BLM's best ambassadors in local communities across the West," Abbey said.
The projects are:
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
As we watch the television images of raging fires engulfing homes and property in Southern California, the thoughts of are we prepared if that were to happen here enters our consciousness. The public should know that there are those dedicated people out there who are considering that possibility on a statewide basis.
In a collaborative effort, the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the Utah State Fire, Forestry and State Lands, local county governments and community members are preparing a plan for just that event. Emily Geery, a watershed and wildland fire planner said, "We have been meeting since July to gather information from the public and the management agencies to find and identify the areas of concern. We want to solicit information from the local people on what areas they want protected the most."
At the Museum of the San Rafael, these agencies came together for an regional comment gathering meeting. Armed with information about the plans that are already in place, they waited for the public to add their own concerns. Utah is divided into five fire districts, and Emery County is grouped with Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties in this region.
Geery stated that Emery County is very well prepared as they have a plan in place already. The regional plan will address a lot of the same issues and will rely on Emery County's plan. Emery County has identified the areas of concern for wildland fire and have also identified resources to fight a fire should it occur in one of these areas of concern.
For homeowners in the areas of concern, there are many recommendations for them as property owners. The area already identified in Emery County is the Joe's Valley area. With two housing areas near Joe's Valley, the wildland interface and the danger of fire is a great concern. Should a fire start in this area, the plan is moving to meets its goal of educating all property owners in the area.
Some suggestions are to clean roof surfaces and gutters of pine needles, leaves, branches, etc. regularly to avoid accumulation of flammable materials. Remove portions of any tree extending within 10 feet of the flue opening of any stove or chimney. Maintain a screen constructed of nonflammable material over the flue opening of every chimney or stovepipe. Openings in the screen should not exceed one half inch.
Remove branches of surrounding trees to a height of 15 feet. Dispose of stove or fireplace ashes and charcoal briquettes only after soaking them in a metal pail of water. Store gasoline in an approved safety can away from occupied buildings. Propane tanks should be far enough away from buildings for valves to be shut off in case of fire.
Keep area clear of flammable vegetation. All combustibles, such as firewood, picnic tables, boats, etc. should be kept away from structures. Garden hoses should be available for connection to a water outlet. Addressing should indicated at all intersections and on structures. All roads and driveways should be at least 16 feet in width. Fire tools such as a ladder long enough to reach the rood, shovels, rakes, and buckets should be readily available. Each home should have at least two different entrance and exit routes.
Along with these suggestions, there are many other ways to keep a property safe. One is to use firewise landscaping with firewise plants. A list of these plants can be found at www.firewise.org.
Once a group of property owners comes together to make a plan, the group can apply for a number of grants to help reach the goals of the plan. In this area the fire warden is Rudy Sandoval and he can help supply property owners with information about any of the suggestions for making your property firewise.
Concerns about this area and its fire readiness can be sent to Southeastern Utah RWPP, 5647 Jefferson Street NE, Albuquerque, N.M. 87109. If a person wants to comment, they should include the area where they live and their contact information, their opinions about what actions could be taken to reduce the threat of wildfire, where is the greatest need, a list of the structures and things of value in the area, what should the fire emergency service agencies and personnel know about your properties, what information do property owners need to know to be prepared, and what is the single most important action that could be taken to reduce the threat of wildfire in the southeast region and your county.
When a person sends their comments, note on the comment sheet that these comments are concerning the Carbon/Emery wildland fire mobilization plan.

Cool Sneeks!
"I personally love Lacoste swerve's...Fit: Low profile. Athletic fit. Not much of a insole or outsole. a bit narrow, but the leather does stretch and fit to your foot over time and wear...to me, they fit like a soccer cleat, and kinda feel like that's what I am wearing,,,just without the spikes, obviously.Wear: I've gotten about 2 years outta my pairs,average...I don't wear them in the snow or rain, again, low profile shoes, but they are on my feet most other times...bottoms of the leather do scuff easily and that bright white fades if you don't keep them clean...Slip-on is nice and the heel holds up to the constant on-off without unstrapping them."

Instruction Memorandum No. 2006-026
Expires: 09/30/2007
To: State Directors
From: Assistant Director, Minerals, Realty and Resource Protection
Subject: Implementation of Section 371(a), Energy Policy Act of 2005
Program Area: Oil and Gas Leasing
Purpose: This Instruction Memorandum (IM) provides guidance to implement Section 371 – Reinstatement of Leases in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Energy Act).
Policy/Action: Notify any former lessee in writing (return receipt) who had an oil and gas lease terminate during the period starting September 1, 2001, and ending June 30, 2004, who has stated, either in writing or verbally, interest in having their lease reinstated. Inform them of the requirement to submit a petition that would address Section 371(a) of the Energy Act as follows:
1. The lease terminated during the period of September 1, 2001, through June 30, 2004;
2. A petition for reinstatement is filed before the close of business on December 6, 2005;
3. The lessee complies with the conditions of Section 31 (e) of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 188(e));
4. The lessee did not receive a termination notice by the date that was 13 months from the date the lease terminated; and
5. The lands are available for leasing.
Under the Energy Act, all petitions for lease reinstatement under Section 371(a) must be received by the proper Bureau of Land Management State office by close of business December 6, 2005. Any petitions must be complete when filed, including all monies required under Class II reinstatement provisions. Attachment 1 contains specific guidance for providing notice.
Use Attachment 2 as the model Federal Register notice for leases reinstated under the provisions of Sec. 371(a) of the Energy Act, instead of Illustration 38 of the BLM Handbook H-3108-1.
Timeframe: This IM is effective immediately.
Budget Impact: The effect on the budget is minimal. About 50 lessees expressed an interest in reinstating leases at the Class II rates.
Background: In September 2001, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) transitioned all financial information relating to oil and gas lease rental and royalty to a new, internet-based computer system. From October 2001 to August 2003, the MMS experienced problems with its automated system. During this time, the MMS could not identify leases that terminated by operation of law. On September 25, 2003, MMS' automated system was again able to identify leases that terminated for late or nonpayment of full rental. Once BLM received notice from MMS of those leases with late or nonpayment of rental, the time within which the lessees could petition for reinstatement was over. Prior to passage of the Energy Act, the Secretary of the Interior did not have authority to reinstate terminated leases beyond the statutory 15-month period following the date of lease termination.
Section 371(a) of the Energy Act allows eligible lessees to petition for lease reinstatement if they file within 120 days after enactment of the Act. While BLM is not required to notify lessees of their potential eligibility, some lessees expressed interest in lease reinstatement (prior to passage of the Energy Act). Those lessees who expressed an interest in having their leases reinstated are waiting for notification of the process they should follow.
Manual/Handbook Sections Affected: Bureau Manual/Handbook Section 3108 contains basic guidance for lease reinstatement. The procedures contained in this IM are temporary and the handbook does not require updating.
Coordination: This guidance was coordinated with the Solicitor's Office.
Contact: If you have any questions about the guidance in this IM, please contact Mary Nagel, WO-310D, by telephone at
303-236-0837, or by email at email@example.com

|In response to Re: Toilet replacement with a radiator behind it
What type of radiator? Is it steam - or hot water? I assume that it is an old style cast iron radiator. I have replace a steam radiator with a 'baseboard' looking radiator with good results. This would put the radiator no higher that 8" from the floor. Same for an old style radiator being used for (converted for) hot water use. Then you may have many more options regarding the toilet.
: I have to replace a 1931 toilet (12" waste) in my first floor bathroom. There is a cast iron radiator that runs behind the toilet. The water supply is at 14" above the floor and 7" to the left of the center of the toilet. The radiator is 2 1/2" deep and 10" high. What is the best toilet to use? The foot print of the toto toilets will hit the radiator at the floor and the supply pipe hits the tank. American std. cadet and the kohler wentworh will work with the radiator, but I have to move the supply pipe. I don't have a problem with relocating the suppy, but the radiator has to stay. Any suggestions on which toilet is better or another brand that will work. I would like to use gravity feed since this bathroom is next to the bedroom.

Comments: I like the shoe and it's really fast but the back is rigid and on runs over 5 miles it begins to really rub the back of my heel. If there was a little padding or flexibility back there these would be perfect shoes
From: Norm, Buffalo, NY, USA. April 10th 2014
Comments: Inov-8 Road-X Lite 155 runs true to size and in my personal opinion there is no need to run half size smaller or bigger. If you¡'re buying over the internet there is no need to worry because I was previously. The feel and comfort is amazing, they are great for Crossfit and running on dry road surfaces. Very stable and with enough room on the roes. The 3mm drop is present, it makes the Road-X Lite a almost minimalistic shoe, but still gives good protection to the foot. It's a great shoe to do really turn to the minimalistic transition of the 0mm. I'm working on this and the shoe will definitely help for that. Very much recommended for people looking for a great workout and minimalistic running shoe.
From: Christian Scherf, Mexico City, Mexico
Comments: Just received my Inov-8 Road X-Lite 155 in the mail and just had to take them for a spin around the block. I ran a 4 mile loop that has some hills and felt good. The shoe is as minimal as I want to get. Good road feel with durable soles. They feel real spongey in the hand but are firm and responsive on the foot. I like them a lot. A great alternative shoe for short races, tempo runs, and Crossfit.
From: Thomas, Dallas, TX, USA
Comments: I love this shoe for a cross fitness option. It has a slightly larger toe box than the 195/230 and it wears extremely light and comfortable. They have an amazing release from the ground, nearly slipper like. The soles are fairly smooth and are quite forgiving during double-unders. These are the most comfortable WOD shoes I own. They run extremely cool. I do take care not to put the 155's through extremes like mudders, rope or WOD's with a lot of sprint cornering and sidewall pressure. They are definitely constructed for performance over durability so don't expect them to wear like re-purposed basketball low tops. ...But don't let that dissuade you from adding them to your options, the days I do wear these are simply the most comfortable days possible.
From: Rob, San Luis Obispo Ca. USA
Comments: It is really hard for me to overstate how much I love these shoes. I have the "yellow" version, but these are the same shoes. I have tried (and loved) many similar options (Asics Hyperspeed, Piranha, Five-finger KSO, New Balance 730, etc.). The 155s excel because they provide a little more support (this is largely accomplished through the width of the forefoot which is perfect for me) without any loss of ground-feel. 6.1 ounces is still very light and "strange" rubber sole is a miracle; it wears well and provides the right amount cushion.
From: Jeff, Lodi, CA, USA
Comments: This shoe is perfect! Almost all of my shoes are zero drop so I was surprised that I hardly notice the 3mm drop in these. They
were exactly what I was looking for. Not to much cushion, and not too little cushion, just right. I also bought the Inov8 Bare-x 150 which is a zero drop shoe that is just as awesome. But for doing speed work this is the shoe to use. I finally found a company that knows how to
make shoes. Light weight, perfect amount of cushioning so that you can still feel the road yet you don't torture the bottom of your feet,
0-3mm drop which is perfect (for mid-foot strikers), and a roomy toe box. You won't regret getting this shoe or the bare-x 150 they are
perfect. I have the Altra Instinct (too much cushion), New Balance Road Zero (uncomfortable), fivefinger bikila (too little cushion), VivoBarefoot Evo (dosen't breath), and Brooks PureCadence (hate arch support). I ordered a size 11.5 in the bare-x 150 and a size 11 in the road-x 155 making the 155 my speedwork/racing shoe and the 150 my long distance training shoe.
From: Josh, Dallas, Texas, USA
Comments: This was my second pair of Inov-8's (the 1st being Bare-X 200s). I sought these out as a middle distance road racer (5K-half marathon) and tempo trainer. I usually run in zero-drop shoes, but these very minimal drop shoes are a great choice for workouts where I want to give my calves/Achilles a tiny rest, or if my form goes bad on the back end of a hard race. I have yet to race in them, but they have been awesome for speed workouts. I typically put about 8 miles in on speed days, and my feet and lower legs don't feel beat down in these shoes despite the great ground feel. Definitely a good choice if you have strong feet or want strong feet. I wear them without socks, but if you do wear socks, I would go with as thin a fabric as possible. Fast, fast shoes!
From: Chas, Cornelius, NC
Comments: Great shoe. Used Shoefitr to determine size to order. I have left foot about a half size smaller than right. Shoes fit as expected from Shoefitr but the volume not as loose as I like on right foot. Removed insoles and slightly more volume than I wanted. Installed support insoles from my Altra shoes and they fit almost perfect. Right foot felt slightly snug and left foot perfect prior to running. During run, right foot felt perfect and left slightly loose so next time I'll cinch the laces a little on left foot. First run in these shoes was a 4 mile route I had run 46 times before. I have only run this route faster twice before even though I am presently not in my best shape. These shoes are really comfortable and fast. Average heart rate only 145 so I must give the shoes some credit. No blisters, no pain yet. I may feel different tomorrow. This is just the kind of shoe I was looking for. The color makes me visible. Might keep me from being run over.
From: James, Plano, TX, USA
Comments: Wonderful shoe, terrific ground feel for superb feedback and decent wearing outsole (have about 260-mi on mine and they still look good). The better your form, the better they will wear. I suggest running without the insert for ever better ground feel, however, running sockless is not necessarily an option as seams are non-conducive. As the forefoot wore down, I noticed the heel-toe drop moved from 3mm to 5mm! Therefore, I modded them by cutting half the insert, raising the forefoot, creating a 1-2mm drop. Worked like a charm. Seriously consider this shoe if you want strong feet and natural biomechanics.
From: Marty, Milwaukee, WI
Comments: Consider ordering a half-size smaller than you normally would for a racing flat. I normally wear an 11, but they were too long and the 10 was too short --> 10.5 was just right.

The future of the Edmonton Oilers was on display last night. Taylor Hall was cleared to play, scored a goal early and the Barons won. However, the game didn't completely follow the script and Hall may be facing a suspension.
The first 12 seconds of this video (courtesy Neal Livingston from Tend the Farm) are the story this morning. I've read a lot of online stuff suggesting it was a charge--I thought he took two strides, waited a heartbeat and then two more before the hit--and have also read that he targeted the head.
I'm no expert and these eyes aren't what they used to be, but I think Hall hit him with his shoulder and it looked like the impact on Brodin was also shoulder. That's my take, and as mentioned the internet has other views (I invite you to share your views too). The one thing I believe is dangerous--and all players seem to do this know--is the explosion through the man when Hall hits him. That's how they coach it, right?
If you were offended by the hit, or are uncomfortable with your young Oilers being placed in a negative light, you may not like the next few seasons. The Oilers of 2012-20 are going to have that physical element and Oilers Nation should embrace it (in my opinion). I'm not suggested a Sean Connery "if they send one of yours to the hospital, send one of theirs to the morgue" mentality, but the bottom line is this a physical game and the Oilers have not been able to deliver that element in the past on their skill lines.
And it doesn't mean you have to be ten feet tall--Milan Lucic has a teammate named Brad Marchand who is 5 feet nothing and an extreme pain in the ass.
Last night, two of the best young Wild prospects were hurt against the Oilers farm team. I take no pleasure in it, in fact its a damn shame and if that happened to the Oilers there'd be a lot of anger among Oiler fans today.
I get that. I understand it.
However, too many times over the last many seasons Edmonton has responded to physical intimidation with no pushback and a leaky powerplay. This current group can kill you on the powerplay and give you some trouble in the alley.
There's nothing wrong with it. Nothing.
You never want a player to be injured, but its also true that hockey has a lot of violence in it--that's in the rules of the game. Hall's hit wasn't late to my eye, I do not think he charged Brodin, and as mentioned it looked like shoulder to me. If he gets suspended, I believe "check through the man and explode on your check"--which is coached into these kids from what I understand--is the culprit. The video posted here courtesy of Neal Livingston isn't conclusive, but from what we see its pretty hard to give a suspension to a player with no history of head hunting. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee.
Bottom line: I'm sorry Brodin got hurt, but don't believe Taylor Hall did anything wrong or outside the rules of the game. If I stand alone, that's fine too. The Edmonton Oilers of 2012-20 are going to be hell to play against. This fan thinks it is about time.
November 03 2012, 08:17AM
how could anyone really tell with that top quality production the AHL is putting to TV. that being said, the refs hopefully got it wrong. don't think Taylor is that kind if player. Oh and first.
Fist! WOOOOOOOHAAAA!
it was a nice hit too bad he was injured
November 03 2012, 08:33AM
It is better to give than to receive.
Great hit and sounds like a helluva first game for T Hall!I'll be wearing my jersey Jan 11 and 12 for our back to back OKC Barons games and can't wait!
A couple of things: 1 the audio/video last night was athousand times better than it usually is .didn't mind paying for that one.2 I think the call on hall was wrong didn't look out of line at all.3 the barons played like S*** last night.
How about the display of skill zharkov put on last night
November 03 2012, 08:51AM
I hope that the review shows that the head was not targeted. I hope both Brodin and Granlund recover quickly. What happened to them last night is my worst nightmare for our prospects.
November 03 2012, 09:07AM
It doesn't help that Brodin lunges in at the last second.
It's not charging when two players are racing for a lose puck. Brodin barely beats him there and put himself in an awkward position.
It's unfortunate he got injured, but I'd hardly classify it as "dirty"
November 03 2012, 09:10AM
There was an interview with MacGregor a while ago where somebody (yourself or Stauffer, perhaps) asked him if he was worried about some of the hits Marincin was delivering at the World Juniors and in the WHL.
I may be misremembering here, I think it was Marincin, but the gist of the questioning was "are you worried about player X playing too dangerously, taking penalties for roughing and such? MacGregor's response was something to the effect of "I don't there's anything wrong with that".
MacGregor's response told me that one architect of this team believes that initiating rough play, and taking the physical game to the opponent, even on occasion inadvertently causing injury, isn't a bad thing for a team with a high level of skill.
I don't want to see Brodin or Granlund injured, but to be perfectly frank, the Wild seemed to have no reservations handing out a butt-kicking to our smaller skill player(s) for years (Boogaard, Clutterbuck, et al) so a little bit of turnaround is to be expected.
Brodin looks to be reaching and therefore places himself in a vulnerable position. Considering that he probably noticed it was Hall coming at him he was not too concerned about being lit up like that he felt that would be alright. Hall will probably get suspended for hitting Brodin in a vulnerable position which resulted in his injury, but this is a case where Brodin should be anticipating a check. The old it's not a hit from behind if the guy turns.
Love the aggressiveness though. Hall is most often compared to Messier. What would Messier have done? That hit would be a blatant elbow targeting the head and then he would have probably 2 handed and pummeled the first guy to disagree. In summary, a shoulder to shoulder check resulting in injury should be fine, but today's NHL is not like it used to be. I'm guessing 2 games.
November 03 2012, 09:24AM
I loved the hit , gotta admire Hall getting his nose dirty right away and testing his shoulder also .Hall is gonna play the way he plays he goes to the dangerous areas to score goals and he plays with reckless abandon , its what he is .I would rather have the bull than another soft perimeter player ..love HALL and looks like the shoulder is fine ..bonus!!!
By no means am I suggesting that I'm pleased that two of Minnesota's top prospects are injured. But after years of watching the Wild's goon squad (RIP Boogeyman) physically intimidate and manhandle the Oilers skill players it's nice to see things go the other way.
The Oilers need to get back to being a tough team to play against... particularly in their own barn. Make other teams dread playing a fast, physical Oilers squad.
I posted the following at your blog:
"There is a video of the Hall hit at the Wilderness site. I hadn't seen it anywhere else. After viewing it slowly backwards and forwards, it seems that Brodin was lost in space a little bit just before the hit. Some one reversed the puck off the right boards to behind the net. Brodin had the opportunity to make a play on it but chose to let it go to his d partner; who must have yelled at him because he didn't have a stick! So now Brodin is lunging after the puck and Hall looks like his eyes lit up as soon as Brodin let the puck go because he realized that the other d-man didn't have a stick. He went flying after the puck as Brodin was lunging towards it. Brodin touched the puck first but got creamed as he was in a vulnerable off balance position. Any way that is what I saw!"
I noticed something else in the video posted here. Before all of this took place, Hall tried a wraparound that broke the stick of the other d-man. That is why he didn't have a stick. Also since it happened only seconds before is why Brodin wasn't aware that his partner didn't have a stick.
I think that all in all, Brodin was an unfortunate victim of rapidly progressing set of circumstances.
November 03 2012, 09:34AM
Agree. Brodin getting hurt is unfotunate. Other than that ...
1. Nice to see Hall wasn't walking on eggshells with his shoulder.
2. Can't say I would be disappointed to see Hall develop a mean streak and rep. May extend his career.
3. If he were to get suspended a couple games, would it be the worst thing in the world? Other than Sutton, how many Oilers have been suspended in the last 5... er.. make that 10 years? Feel free to play on the edge, FFS.
4. On a size impaired top 6, any physical presence is like pennies from heaven (less the escrow hold backs, of course). Oilers have played with as much edge as a wet Kleenex.
5. Stu Mac, was asked before last years draft if he was concerned with Henrik Samuelsson's suspensions in the WHL. His response to his interviewer, "you say that like it is a bad thing".
Exactly, MBS. Exactly.
November 03 2012, 09:34AM
I dont see any way possible that was a hit to the head. I might be the wrong person to ask about ths stuff though, I personally have no problem with the occasional hit to the head in hockey.
November 03 2012, 09:36AM
At 00:o8-9 seconds the opposition player makes eye contact with taylor hall and then makes a decision to pursue the puck,the defender is caught flatfooted and he knows it,he sees hall with a head of steam and closing on the puck and he decides to challenge him for the puck.It was a bad decision by the defender. The defender was aware of Hallsy the entire time,he wasnt caught off gaurd he was simply caught out of position and time and made a bad call. To the defenders credit he did not turn his back like an NHL player would have--this is the catalyst of the hit--in the NHL the man turtles and takes the hit,here the fella pulled a old Hall move and stretched out for it.All we saw there was an example of Halls maturity and experience,and an example of his opponents inexperience --last year Taylor was the one reaching,but not anymore.Taylor kept his feet on the ice and didnt expolde into his approach,he skated in with just enough speed to safely play the puck,it was not reckless,he was cautious--that was 1/3 speed not even for Hall.That was simply a text book hit with perfect timeing that the defender was not prepared to recieve,he was caught stretching.
I am no hockey player but in any contact sport you do drills every practice working on absorbing punishment or hits,part of everyones game is being able to recieve a hit on a pro level.That young defender was brave to not turn his back like a turtle,he was also gutsy to go for that puck,but he was vain to think he wasnt going to get punished by Hall especially because he made clear and unobstructed eye contact with hall long before the play was catalysed and the one on one race for the puck began.
Heres moma2s dynamic analysis of the play in question and its catalyst--what the hell I havent posted a long one in a long time.
I am superglad we have this video to watch because it drives home a point we had problems with last year ,a real traditional conendrum if you will.Moma2 has blogged this one to death already.
In the NHS you immediatly race ASAP to either a teammate of the bench and you get another stick,you DO NOT destroy your lines ability to defend properly.Ever.In traditionally managed hockey you might do a variety of other things when you are out there with no teeth,but you wont be eating any meat thats for sure.
At 00:04 sec of the video we can see a man with no stick pursuing Hall as he challenges the net,that is the catalyst of the play that caused the injury.That man set his teammate up for the injury,he caused a moment of indecision at exactly 00:08.5 sec by looking at his teammate but not calling for the puck,this planted indecision in his teammate,then at 10:00 sec we have a perfect shot of this moment the "man in the middle"with no stick between hall and the soon to be injured player who Pauses because of the man who looks like he should be able to get to the puck first BUT HAS NO STICK TO DO SO.This is a textbook example of the NHS core values clashing with hockey tradition and kicking arse--I got banned from an unnamed major Oilers site for slamming coaches and managment for refusing to adjust their old school hockey mindsets and this was one of the bones I beat them over the beanbag with,it was a real pain in my tophat for two years until I saw change happening out on the ice.
I have to stop ranting now because I also have evolved and moved past the days when I felt it was necessary to engage the Oilers managment--not anymore folks.Moma2 just makes observations now---gotta love the video no one argues.
This injury gets gently laid at the feet of the opposition coach for not clearly delineating to his players what to do when you lose your stick,the more times I watch the video the more sorry I feel for the guy with no stick because he actually looked to the bench before chasing Hall the first time and methinks he was told to get into the play.
Nice play Taylor --you didnt open up the jets and take advantage of another player you showed very good respect out there,you kept your feet on the ice and even turned a bit ,it was a clean play------sorry for the oppositions lack of preparedness I guess their coach has some good video to work with,I know we sure do.
Thanks for the video and the excellent piece,it is much appreciated and sure illustrates some really critical dynamic plays in a very easy to understand fashion.Please keep em coming.Nice to see you back Hallsy.
Moma2 still thinks it is Mucho Loco to have our gold coins playing where they are right now risking injury--just an observation.
November 03 2012, 09:42AM
I'm glad to see Hall isn't taking any crap. He looks like he glided into Brodin. Probably could have been a lot worse than it was.
I wonder how DSF will feel about this since Minnesota is his man crush.
November 03 2012, 09:53AM
Don't Messier with Hall.
I'm glad to see Hall isn't taking any crap. He looks like he glided into Brodin. Probably could have been a lot worse than it was.

Looks like a borderline charging penalty to me.
My concern would be that the Aeros might really start targeting Eberle, Hopkins, Hall and Schultz to get retribution.
The Aeros have some pretty big boys on their roster and I expect you'll see some pay back tonight.
November 03 2012, 10:01AM
It's too bad Hall didn't get an assist on one of the other goals. It would have been his first Messier hat-trick.
November 03 2012, 10:05AM

How would this be any different from the past?
The Aeros/Wild players have been targeting our stars for years.
Maybe Bulmer's broken face at the hands of Teubert,might make them think twice.
November 03 2012, 10:12AM
I mean did you see the rage on Teubert's face when he gave those beatdowns?
I'm guessing there's not many NHL'ers who would want to get in the way of that freight-train, let alone Aeros.
If they are so brave then why didn't anyone go after Teubert after beating down Bulmer/injuring Granlund.
My guess is they want no part of him.
This is different from previous games against Minnesota/Houston? I don't think so. The Oilers standing up to them is the news here.
So, you think Hall was standing up to the Aeros?
Appeared to me he was just finishing a check that, unfortunately, involved Brodin's head.
The Aeros have called up Corbin Baldwin for tonights game.
He's 6'5" 215.
Wonder if that means anything?
November 03 2012, 10:23AM
I tell you #schulte feels that hit was clean, and #schulte knows hitting it's all he did when he played.
November 03 2012, 10:28AM
tough luck. them the brakes. keep your head up. the new Oilers want to be tough to play against. this is what we want in Hall: Justin Brown, only better. a hardnosed player with 1st overall type skills. Bring it on, Hall.
unfortunate for Brodin.
but, as for Hall playing it tough... love it.
November 03 2012, 10:29AM
supposedly brodin broke his collar bone... im no doctor but if the principal contact point was the head how the eff did he break his collar bone??? sorry but thats no hit to the head, shoulder to shoulder.
tuebert will lay this baldwin guy out

Hardly mutually exclusive.
Very hard to tell from the replay but the referee certainly thought it was a hit to the head.
Just means more meat on skates. Houston must have a half dozen.
More than half a dozen.
I expect you'll see a bit of nasty tonight.
Any word on whether or not Hall has been suspended?
Never mind.
John Shannon @JSportsnet
So Hall won't play tonight vs Houston...and Dave Andrews of the AHL says the review should be done by tomorrow.
November 03 2012, 10:46AM
Nuge better keep his head on a swivel tonight. Something tells me Abney might be busy today.
November 03 2012, 10:49AM
Good for Taylor. He should get kicked out of this evenings game as well. Instead of playing the shrinking violet, dish it out, set the tone, be the prick. Hope the shooting fish in a barrel pace continues for Hall.
November 03 2012, 10:52AM
If they want to dress a buch of goons and focus on that stuff in an important divisional game. I'm sure Nelson won't mind taking the 4 points.
Hall is a beast!
Seriously though, this is exactly how I want Hall to play. He really did look like Messier out there.
November 03 2012, 11:00AM

Well I broke my collar bone falling to the ice awkwardly and from a shoulder on shoulder hit while playing hockey so one result doesn't necessarily lead to any particular action to be honest.
I can't say for certain that there is a hit to the head based on the poor quality of the video. I do, however, echo lowetides thoughts in that the follow through might be the real culprit here. Looked to me as if Hall follows through the hit with his forearm/elbow. Could be the damage was already done at this point and it could also just be the natural progression of the hit. To me though, that was the only part of the hit that I could clearly see and think that it might not be all on the level.
November 03 2012, 11:00AM
If the guy's helmet had not flown off after the hit, there's no penalty. That's what made it look like a hit to the head.
And yeah, NOW the Aeros are going to target the OKC stars.
If Brodins injury is true that it is a broken collarbone then that is 100% conclusive evidence the principle contact is not the head. One's collarbone does not break from secondary contact or falling to the ice. The right thing to do for the AHL would be to rescind the match penalty and make Hall available for today's game (although all reports are he would not play anyway). Since hockey is clearly not doing the right things nowadays that will not happen.
Tough to see anyone get injured, even worse when it's a very promising prospect.

Eberle, Hopkins and Schultz might want to keep their heads on a swivel tonight.
November 03 2012, 11:16AM
November 03 2012, 11:19AM
It might be Hall's fault that Abney gets another chance. Best of luck tonight, Cam.
November 03 2012, 11:20AM
Eberle, Hopkins and Schultz might want to keep their heads on a swivel tonight.
Or just crosscheck any one who comes near them in the teeth.
A suspension cost them, what, 10 G's? An injury could cost them millions in the long run...
November 03 2012, 11:23AM
I'm just glad there's some drama. Make 'em pay on the power play, that's the ticket tonight. Just don't get injured fellas. These are the games Nelson has to really have a feel for and sit the young ones an extra shift sometimes if there's a bad moon rising out there.
Do you think Nelson got a call from MacT or Klowe or even Tambo about being careful with the golden geese?
November 03 2012, 11:30AM
I'm sorry but you are just flat out wrong. A shoulder to shoulder check is NOT the only way you can break your collarbone. Or did I wear a butterfly truss for two weeks for no reason? You can break it from falling to the ice. I'm not saying that is what happened here, but I am saying its a possibility.
November 03 2012, 11:34AM

November 03 2012, 11:35AM
Whatever play a player engages in........do it without any hesitation and do it with all your might!
The best hockey players historically never second guessed their actions.......indecision leads to failure.
Good for Hall in delivering that hit they way he did. Shoot the same way, drive to the net the same way, pass e same way........it does not matter what the play is just do it with all your might and abilities.
November 03 2012, 11:58AM
Is Nation Radio still on?
