The Emery High Spartan football team has dug themselves a hole after they lost their third region game of the season last week to the Delta Rabbits. With the 35-12 loss, Emery now stands 1-3 in region play and face an almost must-win situation this week when they play the North Sanpete Hawks in the final regular season game.
Delta is 4-0 in region 12 action and should be the region champion for 2010 this season. Delta will host Juab in their final game of the regular season. Juab is 3-1 for the season. Richfield and Manti are both 2-2 for the season and these two teams will face each other to close out the season. North Sanpete is 0-4 in region play this year but if they win the game this Thursday that would place them in a tie for the season. Emery does not want to get to this point.
Emery scored first in the game with Delta as they took advantage of a Rabbit turnover. Outside linebacker Jesse Winn played an option perfectly as he intercepted a quarterback pitch and Emery took over on the Delta 11-yard line. A run by fullback Jade Fielder got Emery five yards closer. Fielder then picked up another four yards on another run. Emery picked up a first down on a Delta penalty and the Cody Jones scored on a quarterback sneak.
Three Delta drives ended with the Rabbits losing the ball on fumbles. Besides the Delta drive ended with an Emery recovery, Emery also ended the first drive of the game with a fumble recovery by Clay Collard. The last drive of the first half also ended in a fumble by the Rabbits. Jacob Tuttle recovered this fumble.
Emery's second scoring drive came in the second quarter on a drive that started at the Delta 22-yard line. Emery ran the ball six times in the short drive as this time Taylor Cox got the score from 1-yard out. Emery went for two points on the point after attempt and each time were unsuccessful in their efforts.
Delta scored twice in the second quarter, twice in the third quarter and once in the fourth quarter. Delta's first score came on a 13-yard run after ending a 76-yard drive. Delta's second score came after the Rabbits blocked an Emery punt attempt. Delta recovered the blocked kick and scored on a 20-yard run.
Delta's third score came after an Emery fumble at their own 37-yard line. Delta's fourth score came on a 3-yard pass play after an 87-yard drive by Delta. The final score came on a pass intercepted by the Rabbits and returned 40 yards for a score.
Fielder was the leading rusher for the second week in a row as he carried the ball nine times for 55 yards. Cox carried the ball 13 times for 53 yards and Colton Fasselin carried the ball 10 times for 26 yards. Cody Jones carried the ball eight times for -19 yards. Jones also passed the ball nine times and completed three of those passes for 65 yards. Delta had 283 yards of offense in the game.
On defense, senior Nathan Mecham again led the team in tackling, this time with 9 tackles in the game. Geren Payne and Fasselin each finished the game with seven tackles.
Emery will play North Sanpete this Thursday at 7 p.m. in the last home game of the season which will be senior night. Emery is 5-4 for the season while the Hawks are 2-7 this season. North Sanpete defeated Millard in the first week of the season and then defeated new school Maple Mountain in the preseason. North Sanpete has played several teams close this season and will give Emery a good fight.

The Law Teacher (Fall 2012)
With a push in the legal market to minimize research costs, law schools should teach students about free and low-cost alternatives to LexisNexis and Westlaw. My article focuses on Google Scholar and Lexis. It starts on page 40 of the attached newsletter.
This article discusses an interactive way to teach law students about the content and features of Google Scholar and about its benefits and limitations. This article also describes an innovative way to teach students about the cost of researching on Lexis.com outside of the law school bubble and addresses how to integrate Google Scholar and Lexis.com while researching. I have included my in-class exercise at the end of the article.
Of course, the teaching methods discussed in this article could be used to teach cost-effective research on Westlaw Classic, WestlawNext, and Lexis Advance.

text: A joey stays in his pouch until his "exterior gestation" is complete and he is able to move away from his mother on his own. Like a joey, human infants are also born immature. In fact, human infants actually remain helpless longer than infants of any other species and, like some marsupials, must also go through a distinct period of gestation outside of the womb. Although birth may be seen as a separation of mother and infant, babies need anything but separation. Nature intended that they be held on their mother's bodies after birth until they complete their gestation out of the womb. This period of exterior gestation needs to be respected not just as a sentimental matter, but as one that has a profound and major impact on an infant's physical, emotional, and psychological development.

Beautiful shoes!
"I love love love these shoes. And I found them when I was in a pinch out of town. I needed to go to a formal event and found I only packed my keds. So having 15 minutes to spare, I ran to the DSW which was just around the corner from the hotel. I ran back to the sale rack, saw these, tried them on. They seemed okay so I check out and ran back. Little did I know that I scored! First of all I didn't expect to find anything worth wearing beyond the evening because I have a hard time usually finding shoes to fit well. These are so comfy and BEAUTIFUL. They're unique. I love them. I couldn't be happier. I should do all my shopping this way!"

Great shoe, disappointing strap quality
"I bought these shoes at the beginning of July. They quickly became my go-to shoe for work and after. The stretchy strap on my right shoe is basically overstretched and unraveling. I basically got 2 months wear out of these shoes. They are super comfy and I am ordering another pair. I hope these last longer than the last ones."

Current addictions
* Brie cheese - Currently brie cheese has replaced mint chocolate as my treat of choice. It's so yummy.
* Wonderbra lingerie - I just recently bought a few things by Wonderbra and I really adore them (and the prices are so reasonable). I am defiinitely going to be buying alot more stuff from Wonderbra in the future.
* Soccer stuff- I'm not usually a big soccer fan, but with the World Cup just days away, I think "soccer fever" has started to set in. I just got myself a 2010 FIFA World Cup Official Guide book (R50), the Boyf just put a big South African flag on his bike and I am hoping to go get The Boyf & I some South Africa soccer t-shirts soon.
* Chandeliers - At the moment I am lusting after chandeliers. I really want a little black or white chandelier for my apartment.

Skip to comments.HUNTER RESPONDS TO MEXICAN MILITARY INCURSION BY REAFFIRMING NEED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
Posted on 08/14/2008 9:39:32 AM PDT by pissant
Washington, D.C. U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) responded to reports that a Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint by members of the Mexican military in Arizona by reaffirming the necessity for border fencing and other infrastructure. According to a State Department Spokesman, the encounter stemmed from a momentary misunderstanding as to the exact location of the U.S.-Mexican border.
"I disagree with the State Departments characterization of this incident," said Congressman Hunter. "The fact that members of the Mexican military are routinely operating in such close proximity to the border, with no identifiable purpose, raises serious questions about their activities. Rather than dismissing this incident as a mere misunderstanding, the Departments of State and Homeland Security should try to make sense of this and the more than 40 incursions that have occurred over this fiscal year alone.
"If the Mexican military has a problem identifying the exact location of the border, then we should make it clear to them. Building fence and implementing other infrastructure in areas where incursions appear to be more frequent will prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. This isnt the first time the Mexican military has crossed into the United States and, until our border is clearly defined and aggressively enforced, it certainly wont be the last."
NOTE: A Border Patrol agent was recently held at gunpoint by members of the Mexican military who crossed the border into Arizona. According to reports, the soldiers returned to Mexico when other agents responded to assist.
Hunter - the man who SHOULD be President.
His piece in Human Events expands on this...
Any particular celebrity in mind?
I wonder how long it will be before the violence in Juárez spills over into El Paso.
C'mon, Mr. Hunter, just say it. MEXICO is our enemy!
Juan McCarlos?
Mitt Romnez?
I think my tagline says it all.
When the Janet Folgers of the world and some of the other evangelical 'leaders' started pimping for Huckabee as if he had a better record on the social issues than Hunter (he didn't), then it seemed to push Huckabee into the 'top tier'.
They aren't an enemy. They are smartly taking advantage of what we have given them for the last 30 years.
This isnt the first time the Mexican military has crossed into the United States and, until our border is clearly defined and aggressively enforced, it certainly wont be the last."
You could always shoot the sobs and put their heads on a post to mark the border....
Now yer talkin
You think Repuiblicans are "dazzled" by McCain or Romney?
I don't see how.
Dazzled enough to make Rudy McRomeny the clear frontrunners and money men for the entire primary.
""Hunter - the man who SHOULD be President.""
He would have been great president because he is so RIGHT on all the key issues. Apparently he was not what the power brokers and GOP wanted for the country. If Reagan ran agan, he would not be what they desire in a President either.
Will Duncan Hunter, Sr. have a speaking part at the upcoming Republican Convention, and what would he say if he did? Also, would John McCain truly and seriously want Duncan Hunter, Sr. in a cabinet position (Where would McCain put him?) in a McCain administration, and would Duncan Hunter, Sr. accept such an invitation?
A good reason to start shopping around for another political party - or start one of our own.
Duncan has endorsed John McCain.
You libel based on what?
That's why I ask such questions in my post.
border infrastructure = WALL
To hunter it means a wall. Actaully, a double fence with a border patrol between. TO Mccain, Rudy, Chertoff, etc it means a pink ribbon.
I agree.
"You libel based on what?"
How is it libel to call a two-faced, slick-haired, Republo-liberal a "two-faced, slick-haired, Republo-liberal".
"WASHINGTON — Gov. Mitt Romney expressed support yesterday for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal residents on the path toward citizenship"
The truth kinda stings... don't it.
Thank you Duncan Hunter!
And thank you pissant, for posting this.
I tried, but the only link I had was to American Free Press.
BTW, what's the problem with AFP anyway?
Thank you for the link.

USDA Report Outlines Food Insecurity in America
Under Secretary Concannon Cites Important Role of Nutrition Assistance Programs as U.S. Economy Recovers from Recession
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2011 -- USDA Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Under Secretary Kevin Concannon today announced the results of USDA's Household Food Security in the United States, 2010 report that found that the percentage of very low food security declined from 5.7 percent of households in 2009 to 5.4 percent in 2010. The USDA study indicated that in 2010, 17.2 million households in America had difficulty providing enough food due to a lack of resources. The number of food insecure households in 2010 was relatively consistent with statistics released in 2008 and 2009.
"This report underscores the critical role that federal nutrition assistance programs play in helping struggling American families put food on the table until they can get back on their feet," said Concannon. "Many families receive assistance not because they want to, but because they need it as a last resort to make ends meet. As the economy continues to recover and jobs are created, we hope to see the number of families in need of nutrition assistance shrink."
The report released today indicates that 59 percent of all food-insecure households participated in one or more of the three largest nutrition assistance programs near the time of the survey.
In fiscal year 2010, these programs provided much needed food assistance to millions of individuals, children and families in need:
- In an average month of fiscal year 2010 (October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provided benefits to 40.3 million people in the United States.
- In fiscal year 2010, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provided meals to an average of 31.6 million children each school day.
- In fiscal year 2010, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) served an average 9.2 million participants per month.
Food insecurity rates were substantially higher than the national average for households with incomes near or below the current federal poverty line ($22,350 for a family of four), households with children headed by single women or single men, and black and Hispanic households. Food insecurity was more common in large cities and rural areas than in suburban areas and other outlying areas around large cities. The media briefing kit can be obtained at http://www.ers.usda.gov/Features/HouseholdFoodSecurity2010/.
USDA's Food and Nutrition Service administers 15 nutrition assistance programs including the Summer Food Service Program; SNAP; NSLP; WIC; and the Emergency Food Assistance Program. Together these programs make up the federal nutrition safety net. USDA administers these programs in partnership with state and local agencies and works with faith and community-based organizations to ensure that nutrition assistance is available to those in need. Additional information about the programs can be found at www.fns.usda.gov.

Virgin Blue Launches Newcastle - Brisbane Flights Early24/03/2004
Re-Timed Flights Between Newcastle - Brisbane & Melbourne
Virgin Blue will launch its direct service between Brisbane-Newcastle (Williamtown) on Tuesday 4 May, three days earlier than planned, as well as re-timing these flights for the convenience of both leisure and business travellers.
The new schedule means daily flights^ will now depart Newcastle at 10.25am arriving in Brisbane at 11.40am before turning around and departing at 12.20pm, arriving at Williamtown at 1.30pm.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "The sheer number of advance bookings we've received even before the launch of the service has given us the confidence to commit to a more convenient schedule that better meets the needs of our Guests.
"Hunter-based travellers have certainly realised the benefit of a high quality, low fare jet service in a region that was previously under-valued until Virgin Blue gave it the attention it deserved."
Business travellers will benefit from the new late morning arrival in Brisbane which leaves plenty of time for afternoon meetings and dinner with clients. The return lunchtime flight will also allow Guests a full morning in the river city before they head back to Newcastle in the early afternoon.
For people heading further north in the Sunshine State, the re-timed mid-morning departure will also allow Guests to take advantage of Virgin Blue's convenient connections to Mackay, Townsville, Rockhampton and Cairns.
Virgin Blue's everyday low fares between Newcastle-Brisbane start from $59* one-way on the net, with a Fully Flexible Virgin Blue fare of $199* one-way, 40% cheaper than the Qantas fare.
In addition to the schedule change for Newcastle-Brisbane the airline has also announced a change in timing for its existing Newcastle-Melbourne service.
The new schedule^ between Williamtown and Melbourne will allow for a convenient early-afternoon departure from Newcastle which will arrive in the Victorian capital mid-afternoon.
The re-timing still allows for hassle-free connections from Melbourne to Hobart, Launceston, Adelaide and Perth.
Brett Godfrey continued, "We have only been operating to Newcastle a little more than four months and here we are changing our schedule to provide the people and businesses of the Hunter with a more convenient schedule to not only Melbourne and Brisbane but to just about every major destination in Australia."
"We hope the support we've received so far continues into the future because we plan to return that support by not only increasing frequencies but by adding more direct services from the Hunter region to more destinations", Brett Godfrey finished.
^ Sunday flight times vary. Please refer to schedules above.
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

Reds miss out on Konoplyanka
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insisted his squad was strong enough to compete for the Barclays Premier League title, even though he did not make a single signing in January.

A possible £16million deal for Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk failed to materialise on transfer deadline day, Rodgers having earlier admitted the move was "a little complicated".
But the Northern Irishman claimed he was "very optimistic" about the group of players he has at his disposal, with the team on a high following their 4-0 thumping of Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Rodgers admitted January was an awkward time to add players, saying on liverpoolfc.com: "I think it's difficult in order to bring certain players in that are going to help us immediately. The availability of the player, and of course the affordability, are always the two factors involved in getting a player in.
"It certainly hasn't been because of a lack of work by the football club. There are lots of people who have worked tirelessly to identify and find the right types of players. A lot of those players haven't been able to become available for us.
"Of course, as a manager, you would like to have strengthened, but I'm very optimistic with the group of players I still have available here. If we can keep those players fit, and maximise the availability for the rest of the season, we can have a great chance to have a really good finish."
The midweek win over Everton left Liverpool in the top four, seven points behind in-form leaders Manchester City.
Rodgers said: "If you look at the position that we're in with 15 games to go, we have shown consistently that we have the squad to compete. The benefit of the second half of the season is that there is still a lot of development left in a lot of our players.
"We have a lot of young players playing in the team who are growing and improving all the time. Them gaining experience and playing games, with the consistency of the team, adds up for a really exciting last 15 games for us."

My third pair of this style!
"Loved these shoes in the black color so much that I found these two tone brown and just had to have them. Very comfortable and look classy with a pair of dress pants and sweater. Reminds me of the old fashioned "preppy" style in the early 80's. :)"

These Are Great!
"I didn't have the same problems other reviewers reported with these shoes--in fact, they are a great fit and comfortable to wear all day. The only thing that I didn't expect was I thought they were brown and black, when they are brown and dark brown instead. Good shoe for business suits and jeans. Glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews because these shoes are very good. Glad I got them!"

Not comfy : (
"I bought these thinking they would be so versatile! They are black and brown, which means you can wear them with almost any color pants or belt! I wore them to work and after 1 hour regretted my decision. They rubbbed against my upper foot where the top of the shoe ends. It hurt so bad I actually bought some moleskin to put in there. I didn't end up getting a blister but the top of my foot had a huge bruise! I'm very disappointed. I thought I had found a great shoe. For the record, I have slightly narrow feet."

"Get giddy. The next few years are going to be a lot of fun in Edmonton."
-- Terry Jones, Edmonton Sun
With more gushing in Oil Country since roughnecks tapped Leduc No. 1, it's obvious optimism abounds when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers on the eve of the 2008-09 season.
Over at The Sun, Jones and hockey writers Rob Tychkowski and Derek Van Diest were unanimous Wednesday in picking the Oilers to not only make the playoffs after two straight years out, but to win the Northwest Division outright. They're not alone.
While I tend to agree with Large the Oilers are going to be fun to watch, I'm not convinced they'll manage either -- winning the division title or making the playoffs. But that's just me.
Here's how I see the Western Conference.
1. DETROIT. In a class of their own. They have Hart Trophy candidates in Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, perennial Norris Trophy winner Niklas Lidstrom and they've added Marian Hossa. Great special teams.
2. SAN JOSE. Is this the year? If Jonathan Cheechoo can regain his form, the Sharks will be absolutely loaded up front. I'll take Evgeni Nabokov over Chris Osgood and Ty Conklin any day.
3. CALGARY. If the wheels don't fall completely off Miikka Kiprusoff, the Flames will be the class of the Northwest Division. Not many teams have a one-two offensive-and-shutdown punch like Dion Phaneuf and Robyn Regehr on the back end. Nice additions in Cammalleri and Glencross.
4. ANAHEIM. Not having Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermayer farting around with retirement talk is a bonus. I like the addition of Brendan Morrison.
5. DALLAS. Proof that the pre-season means little. A full season of Brad Richards and the grit added with Sean Avery will help, although I'm not sold on super-hyped Fabian Brunnstrom.
6. MINNESOTA. While we might see a return to more defensive hockey and a less potent transition game, the Wild will have enough offence unless Marian Gaborik comes off the rails.
7. CHICAGO. For all the talk in Edmonton about young talent, no team in the conference has more young skill than the Blackhawks with Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews up front and Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith on the back end. A team on the rise in the Windy City.
8. COLORADO. The Avs would be a spot or two higher if it wasn't for the goaltending tandem of Peter Budaj and Andrew Raycroft. Expect a bounce-back year from Ryan Smyth. When will Joe Sakic slow down?
9. EDMONTON. This team looks better on paper than it will in the standings, although I fully expect the Oilers to be in the thick of things and destined for another hair-on-fire stretch drive.
There's lots to like about this edition of the Oilers . . .
-- I don't have the doubts about Mathieu Garon some people do. I think he can be the No. 1 guy for 65-70 games, and he'll be motivated because he's playing for a contract.
-- Erik Cole for Joni Pitkanen is a big upgrade. I won't be surprised to see Cole score 30 goals. While Cole, Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky weren't a great fit in pre-season, give it time.
-- I don't see a big drop-off, aka the sophomore jinx, for Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano. I'd be more worried about Robert Nilsson, only because he's had inconsistency in his game in the past.
-- Shawn Horcoff is in his prime and those people who don't consider him a "legit" No. 1 centre don't get how well-rounded his overall game is. He's in for a bounce-back year and I won't be surprised to see 75 points.
-- Hemsky. He'll be more protected from the constant muggings he's endured for several seasons. Those who've been waiting for that elusive breakout year will see it this season.
Here's what makes me nervous . . .
-- A bogus schedule. The Oilers play 12 of their first 15 games on the road and could spend the first two months of the season digging themselves out of a hole. That's a factor in a conference where you could have six points separating seventh place from 10th.
-- Trouble in the circles. Nobody has stepped up to make up for the loss of Jarret Stoll and Marty Reasoner on the dot. While I don't put a lot of weight in pre-season records in terms of wins and losses, the Oilers inability to win face-offs has been alarming.
-- The third-line mix. I haven't liked the trio of Ethan Moreau, Fernando Pisani and Dustin Penner a bit. Two guys playing out of position and another who has barely played the past two seasons. Trouble.
-- The power play. Good enough? With the addition of Lubomir Visnovsky and 75 games from Sheldon Souray it should be, but . . .
-- The Oilers have enough offence, but they have to be way better defensively in front of Garon. Have they shown marked improvement in their own end? Well, no.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on Team 1260.
October 09 2008, 11:40AM
9th place?? Great beard of Thor. I can assure you the Oilers will finish higher than this and will finish ahead of the Flames.
Right now, aside from the schedule which they can't do anything about, the biggest concern heading into the season has to be the inability to win a face off. God they looked horrible in that regard during the pre season.
It seems like an either you have it or you don't kind of skill so it's not like you should need the pre season to get up to speed like the other things they tend to work on at this time of year.
Other than that I don't see any more question marks than almost every other team in the league. Some will break their way and some won't. Again like almost every other team in the league.
I know you don't specifically point to it as a concern but there seems to be more than a few people out there that are suggesting that the Oilers may struggle because you can't rely on all of the kids to have a smooth 2nd year. It's probably valid.
What I would like to know is why they are so quick to declare that the Hawks are not only now legit but can be expected to be better than the Oilers because of all of their talented kids.
Aren't the Hawks at an even greater risk than the Oilers? At least here there is a veteran contigent playing ahead of the kids. Which isn't the case in Chicago.
yeah, kipprusoff is going to shit the bed this year, so will big bert! best three players the flames have will be iggy, phaneuf, and unfortunately glencross! oil will win the div title! flames suck.
9th are you kidding, Minny and the Avs are going to be better than us !!! Minny lost 2 of there top six forwards, Gabby won't resign and the Avs backend and Goaltending are quite poor. Lets hope the Oilers can come through the first 20 games at 500 then watch out
October 09 2008, 12:04PM
Yeah FLAMES Suck! remember you can't spell Calgary without s-u-c-k.
Robin I totally think you're saying this just to be different. Thats why you bell bottoms when everyone else was in GWG's why you listened to ABBA whilst the world listened to SOUNDGARDEN and why you pick the OIL the MIGHTY MIGHTY OIL to finish ninth.
For you to think Colorado is a better team, you must be wearing you Ryan Smyth colored glasses with clip on mullet attachment to think that team is better in all three areas then the Oilers.
The Oilers will make the playoffs for sure for this reason. If they don't have the players to get it done, they have the wealth of assets to TRADE for the players to get it done (i.e. when we picked up Spacek, Roli, tarnstrom and Samsonov in '06). The Oiler nation can rest assure that Katz and company will not tolerate underperformance.
The team will be good and Brownie will be wrong. So everybody wins.
I can't shake the premonition that the Oil will win a game by 3 or 4 goals one night and then lose the next two nights by one. There is a difference between offence and TIMELY offence. Also am nervous about all the third period collapses.
I've mentioned this several times - I think the biggest concern is a lack of physical, shut down style defencemen. We can have the 6 best puck moving d-men in the league, but if they can never gain control of the puck, their skills are wasted.
Pointing this out, face off wins become even more important, another category which the Oilers have seen a drastic decline from last year (as previously mentioned). Marty 'Party' Reasoner and Mr. Rachel Hunter will be horribly missed in this area. I have a feeling Horcoff will take 75% of the team's faceoffs unless this issue is addressed.
I don't see a concern on the PP if Souray goes down. We have a good group of offensively talent d-men, and two solid scoring lines. The Oilers PP looked great to close last season, which of course had no Souray.
Bogus schedule? Sure 12 of the 15 first games on the road to start the season looks bad initially. What that says to me (with being lazy and not taking the time to look too deeply) that the home stretch while trying to sneak into 8th position will have the Oil playing more often in the friendly confines of Rexall Place. This seems like an advantage to me.
I didn't want to comment on the predictions as each is entitled to their own opinions, so I will insert my own.
1) Detroit - what Robin said 2) San Jose - what Robin said 3) Calgary - what Robin said 4) Dallas - great additions in Avery and Richards 5) Anaheim - Burke is an idiot and is bound to drive the team into the ground. I also think the PP is not as strong as it was last season with Schneider gone) 6) Chicago - what Robin said 7) Phoenix - I think that Phoenix has the best crop of young players and Wayne Gretzky (not Wanye Gretz) will have these kids playing great hockey. Also, adding Jokinen can only be good 8) Nashville - Lost Zidlicky and Radulov, but should still squeak into the play offs by virtue of the Oilers losing their last regular season game :( ------------- 9) Edmonton - if they win that last game, they will be in!! ;) 10) Colorado - too many questions in goal 11) St. Louis - not enough depth 12) Minnesota - lost Rolston and if Gaborik gets hurt they have no chance of scoring 13) Vancouver - if Luongo can get 35 shut outs, the Canucks could get 35 wins this season 14) Columbus - no help yet for Nash. What a waste of talent with him there by himself 15) Los Angeles - I would love to ee LA finish higher but I can't see Labararbabrabrbra winning 30 games for them.
1. Vancouver - that's what she said 2. San Jose - that's what he said 3. Detroit - that what... you get the point 4. St.Louis 5. Chicago 6. Dallas 7. Calgary 8. Nashville 9. Colorado 10. Columbus 11. Los Angeles 12. Minnesota 13. Phoenix 14. Anaheim 15. Edmonton --> Victor Hedman
Edmonton 1st line can't stay intact.
- Hemmer and Cole can't stop running into eachother on the RW. Cole doesn't know how to play his position and Hemsky is useless without a triggerman.
- Horcoff is the best 2nd line center on any Stanley Cup winning team.
- Visnovsky will underwhelm
- Souray will score 7 goals and add 10 assists.
- Moreau should be a 4th liner. He is sloted in the 3rd line...why?
- Grebeshkov (-45)
- Gilbert 2 goals, 20 assists
- Garon 3.12 GAA, 0.899 SP
- Smid 0G 5A 250PIM (all minor penalties for hooking) -35
- Gagner 5G 25A
- Cogliano 40G 15A
- Brodziak 25G 20A
etc. etc.
Fiveandagame: To be different? No. To be right? Yes. Maybe they're one and the same.
ABBA? If you only knew how wrong you are. Soundgarden? Good Lord. man, by the time they broke out in 1990 I had 20 years of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, BOC, Molly Hatchet, Alice Cooper and KISS under my belt.
pardon me. Edmonton's biggest hooker is Ales Hemsky
October 09 2008, 01:06PM
outKast - Vancouver 1st? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Phil: Heywood Jablome here. You're spot on. The Canucks are headed off the rails with Mike Gillis at the wheel.
October 09 2008, 01:50PM
Brownie of the KISS army--
If, for whatever reason the Oilers miss the playoffs (only plausible scenario being that their plane crashes and we play out the season with Falcons (we'd still finish 9th cause we'd still be better than Vancouver)) You would get to be right wouldn't you?
If you're right you will be soooo smart won't you. Going against what EVERYBODY else is saying.
So S-M-R-T
Where if you're wrong, you can say things like "Wow Brodziak really exceeded expectations, Who knew Pisani would score 20+? Eric Cole performed above expectations, I was drinking heavily and hanging out with Wayne Gretz when I made that prediction" Whatever excuse you'd give for them making the playoffs, you could quantify with some type of BS like the above.
NOW, if you predict them to say make the playoffs or win the division and they don't, you'd just be wrong. Wrong and then when you'd defend your stance earlier in the year it would sound like you're making excuses/whining about the poor play of such and such or MacT or the schedule.
SO, your prediction of them to miss the playoffs guarantees you good standing at the end of the year, with either an "I told you so" or "wow the team really surprised me, how great is that" and everybody would greet you with open arms on the playoff bandwagon you'd be hitching a ride on.
You can be right with your prediction, or pleasantly surprised, but not wrong....well wrong but nobody would be pointing fingers cause we'd all be 3 pints deep into playoff mode by the time Jonathan digs this article back up and reposts it.
I think your prediction is media cowardice.
and finally....
don't you know that Vancouver is getting all of their wins out of the way in the preseason?
Question: What will it take to get playoff ticket in Vancouver this year?
Answer: A plane ticket to Edmonton.
looks like we have trolls.
While I am not the biggest fan of Robin in the best of times, this is one of the few times I actually like what he has to say. There are concerns with the team, and what he all pointed out is basically things I have been worried about. One question though, why did the Oiler's sign JDD to a one-way contract, I dont see the sense of that at all.
Fiveandagame... you are an idiot
October 09 2008, 02:32PM
//Fiveandagame… you are an idiot//
I resemble that remark!
Although my previous post was meant to be read with thy tongue firmly pressed into thy cheek...
I agree with you on JDD. Why the one way? Was there a deal for Roli that fell through? WTF?
October 09 2008, 02:43PM
So that is what Eklund looks like...
The Oilers will either win with the curent lineup...Or The lineup will change. Either way, this team will win. Calgary won't score if Iggy gets hurt and Vancouver won't win a single game without a forty save effort by Luongo. Wish the Oilers had more top end talent, but having all your resources tied up in a few players can be problematic also. I like that the big problem this year is "Faceoffs" as opposed to "Defence" or "Goaltending".
1)Detroit 2)Dallas 3)Calgary 4)San Jose 5)Anaheim 6)Edmonton 7)Minesota 8)Chicago Or Nashville
Edmonton/Calgary to swap position if Iginla gets hurt for any signifigant length of time.
October 09 2008, 03:10PM
Calling everyone retarded is retarded.
RB, I will talk about the only two teams that I care about. The Flames IMO have made a couple of sideways moves that have not made them any better. The key as always is Kipper and more to that his relationship with Keenan. I can see that if they get off to a so-so first half and Mike starts yanking Kipper around...Kipper implodes, Mike gets canned and the team turns around. In a tight division though the time for that turnaround means no playoffs. I agree the Oil's chance is 50/50. The kids have to be as good, the PP better, and faceoffs are a real challenge. Can we count on all of the shootout points again? I doubt it. On the other hand surely we can't have as many injuries as the last 2 years. Thanks for your thoughts.
Doc: It'll be tight just like last season when Calgary finished seventh with 94 points while Edmonton, Chicago and Vancouver missed the playoffs with 88.
If Kiprusoff struggles, the Flames have no margin for error. None.
I predict that the difference between 1st and 5th in the NW division will be around 8 pts. A snapped MCL here or torn rotator cuff there will be the difference. Just to give it a whirl here is my final order.
1- Minny (system, defence and solid goaltending makes them really difficult to play against)
2 thru 4 - everyone else
5- Colorado (goaltending becomes a gong show and their forwards who have a past of inconsistency will be inconsistent)
October 09 2008, 05:41PM
--Calling everyone retarded is retarded--
This coming from captain retard?.....no wait thats me...no wait thats Joffery Lupul...no wait thats Wayne Gretz....no wait I already said that....no wait it's Curtis the retard Glencross!
Men: Back on topic. One of the things I took into consideration in picking the Oilers where I did but didn't mention here -- I did talk about it on Gregor's show today -- is the new schedule.
If, like a lot of people think, Colorado, Minnesota and Vancouver are slipping to varying degrees, this ISN'T the season you want to be playing them only six times instead of eight.
Some of those games will be made up against weaker teams in the East, but that's still six head-to-head games (plus two more against Calgary) where the Oilers won't be playing "four-pointers" against teams they need to beat to get in.
October 09 2008, 07:07PM
Hmmm Robin that is an interesting point regarding the schedule.
Picking them 9th though seems to suggest you see little improvement over last years squad, OR that the division has improved over and above the Oilers.
That to me is the hard part to understand. With a record number of man games lost to injury last season the addition of one of the leagues best offensive d-men and Eric Cole at forward are they not improved? With a healthy team, just based on that, they have to be better.
They missed the playoffs by 3 pts last year. If Garon had started the year as the Oilers number 1 we would have made it. (based on his GAA).
Picking them 9th would appear on paper (IMO) to be more pessimistic then pragmatic.
I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message...
Fiveandagame: "With a record number of man games lost to injury last season the addition of one of the leagues best offensive d-men and Eric Cole at forward are they not improved? With a healthy team, just based on that, they have to be better."
Do they? I like some of the pieces they've added, as noted, but that doesn't mean those pieces will fit together -- at least not right away.
With a brutal early schedule and changes to three of four of their lines, I don't see the Oilers getting off to a good start unless they come together WAY more quickly than I think they will.
Let's, for argument sake, say they do start slowly but settle in and get rolling in the second half. How much better than 14-5-1 can ANY team be in the last 20 games of the season? That didn't get it done last season.
October 09 2008, 08:55PM
LOL - hilarious pic.
October 09 2008, 09:05PM
Well I hope for the sake of my playoff beard you're wrong. You have very good points. I think why this is a hotly contested issue is, as you stated earlier, 1-5 will be tight. 6pts could mean the difference between 3rd and 9th in the conference.
Ultimately our division could be decided by injuries to key players.
To the Oiler Nation:
Shhhhhhhh....did you hear that???? I think that was the puck dropping on the 08/09 season!
Oh and I am sure the Toronto papers are already picking the Leafs to make the playoffs after they beat the wings tonight. 82-0!
Fiveandagame: Just becuase the Oilers have improved in some areas, doesn't mean they haven't taken a step back in others. Don't underestimate the impact the departure of guys like Stoll and Reasoner and what they brought to the team. Their skills were not replaced by any new member of the current starting line up. Sure it can be expected the Oilers will score a few more goals and be more effective during the PP, but lack of key faceoff wins and troubles recovering the puck in the defensive zone are big concerns. Not to mention that the Oilers were outshot in every preseason game but 1 and (correct me if I am wrong) they surrendered the lead in every game but the blow out vs. the Flames. Those are serious concerns that haven't been addressed.
Wow. Who spilled the Koolaid? The puck hasn't evem dropped on the season yet! Good People Of Oil Country... Let's see what happens when two points are on the line. Who said pre-season means nothing? It apparently means a lot to the pundits and would be profits. Everything will be alright! Really.
Winning or losing means nothing in pre-season, but basic fundamentals are key. If they continue to give up the lead and depend on winning 10+ shoot outs this year they are going to be in big trouble.
There is always room for team improvement and there is no harm discussing the holes that we, the fans, feel the team needs to address.
I want the Oil to blow away the competition every game night in and night out and win every playoff game in 4 straight and parade down Whyte Ave, I just haven't seen anything that tells me that there is a possibility of that.
I'm just trying to stay realistic. We have enough people pointing out all of the positive achievements in the offseason, I'm just trying to bring balance to the conversation. If we all wear rose colored glasses we will be wondering why no one saw a .500 start coming. Quite honestly with their schedule, a .500 start over the first 15 games this season would be a great accomplishment!
October 09 2008, 10:37PM
Geez.... Yawn.
October 09 2008, 11:25PM
I don't want to be negative but it won't be a surprise if the Oil miss the playoffs another season. We're over-estimating their skill level. The new new NHL is about puck control. Puck control starts in the face-off circles, where the Oilers appear to be in trouble. Puck control moves into the corners and along the boards and is really critical in the Oilers' own end, where they once again have trouble. Losses to teams in their own division will be the Oilers downfall. They will be playing against bigger, stronger and tougher players who will move them off the puck and most of the play will be in their own end. Look out for the Canucks; with superior goaltending and big, fast forwards, they will be a contender.
October 09 2008, 11:26PM
--3. CALGARY. If the wheels don't fall completely off Miikka Kiprusoff, the Flames will be the class of the Northwest Division--
HEY BROWNIE! would a 6-0 loss constitute a wheel alignment problem for Kipper?
HA! What Class that team showed....HA!
October 09 2008, 11:35PM
Nice article, Robin. I do not like Colorado, from the front office out, and I really doubt Calgary takes the division, but it is pretty hard to argue with things outside of that. (Personally, I figure Minny wins the division).
I tend to think the Oilers have enough horses to make the playoffs, but it is a ways from being a sure thing. A couple of veteran support players, one for the front and one for the back would make me a lot more confident.
I think a surefire prediction is that the Oilers will disappoint many fans, and that they will blame MacTavish.
i knew kipprusoff would shit the bed...
October 09 2008, 11:56PM
I love this website......
October 10 2008, 01:54AM
I agree 100% with Brownlee, not necessarily in the standings, but in the concerns.
if the shots against total doenst come down theyre going to be stuck in another year of goals against being higher than goals for. thats the defenses fault and from such a defensive minded system in MacTavish, youd expect that to be a little better.
the third line is overpaid and overrated. its all feel good stories who got their dollars for it. great. a lot of those players lagged in pre-season and did no favors to young kids looking for experience when playing on lines with them when all three werent together.
too much finesse in the forwards. yes, theres great talent but which one has the guts to go to the net and win aside from Cogliano, Cole, and during a rare anomaly Hemsky or Horcoff, when needed? there needs to be way more urgency and determination on the top 6 for putting the puck in the net and wanting it instead of tic-tac-toe fun.
based on Vancouver's system, healthy D and Goaltending, its not time to count them out of a competitive division either.
i dont think theyre that far from the Oilers when it comes to a total balance.
Jonathan: I always have a difficult time picking against Minnesota because Jacques Lemaire is a master of getting the most out of what he's got to work with. Minnesota plays a sounder systems game, Calgary has more depth of talent, so it's a coin flip in a lot of ways. Colorado won't be as bad as many people think.
October 10 2008, 09:54AM
Hemsky goes into the tough areas more often that most skilled guys, which is why he gets rocked so often. The Oilers would like him to avoid crossing into the middle as often, but that is how he plays.
Rueben, we will debate on the show today. And my pick of the Canucks looks good for one night!! But seriously Burrows won't be a 20-goal scorer this year, but he'll draw about 40 penalties.
Colorado is bunk. I know they have Burnaby Joe, and Rueben you are from BC so you have a bit of a man crush on him, but I don't see them being anywhere but 5th in the NW.
October 10 2008, 11:02AM
Despite some talented forward ranks, If the Colorado stays as is, they will compete but 5th place is where they'll live.
1. Detroit - Easy competition in the central puts them at the top again and by a wide margin. 2. San Jose - A good team with all the tools to take it all. 3. Edmonton - by two points (98) but could easily fall to 6-8. 4. Dallas - will challenge SJ 5. Anehiem - will suffer from Burkitis 6. Minnesota - every game they win will be 2-1 every game they lose will be 3-2 7. Chicago - Ups and downs of a very young team if the kids stay mentally healthy and the veterans stay physically healthy they will move up. 8. Phoenix/Vancouver/Calgary - toss up better goaltending in years past in Phoenix makes them an interesting team/ If Vancouver's score by committee works they will win and could move up due to a solid back end and arguably the best goaltender in the league(Luongo gets hurt Vancouver is hurting) Calgary, has the veteran leadership and game breaker Iginla, BUT I believe their bruising style will be exploited by faster more mobile teams.
My question is, why does everyone have such strong opinions on something that is completely unpredictable? There is a few things that I look at which MAY be advantages when I look over the Oilers, when comparing to other teams in the conference. Watching hockey over the years, I've learned that teams which seem to have a lot of uncertainty in their lineup and spots open in pre-season have their struggles, trails, and tribulations. This is one area where I think that the Oilers are better than a lot of teams. You've got strong goaltending from Garon, who many forget or fail to notice that he has actually played 60+ games in a year before, with on of the worst clubs in the NHL, and still managed to pull off a winning record, It's not like he is a complete stranger to being the #1 guy. Remember, this is his 10th season in Professional hockey, he has experience. I am personally still worried about the defense, but I can't tell what they are going to do. Why? Because I've never seen the first pairing play one regular season NHL game together. I've never seen the first line of forwards, or the third line play a regular season game. So how the hell can you even grade it? It's for that very reason, coupled with the fact that with the cap, and how even the teams are, it's not even worth arguing over.

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 12:28-29; 13:1-8
Prokeimenon. Mode 1.
Psalm 26.1,2
The Lord is my light and my savior.
Verse: The Lord is the defender of my life.
BRETHREN, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you." Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?" Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

Asking Portland to help my son.
7 comments:
I wish I had Portland connections to help him out, but I don't. Hopefully, some of your Portland friends will come through. And, your PS brings tears to my eyes. It is a wonderful commentary on you as a mother. I've been keeping up on your blog, though I seldom comment. I'm glad to know you are happy and life is good for you. I wish I was close enough to visit you for a massage!
- Anonymous2/5/12 23:38
That last part--"I can't and won't disappoint"--sounds so much like you, Olga. Your love and parenting and hard work is making a difference. Don't doubt that.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry I don't live and Portland and can't lend your son a hand. I'm sending you both my well wishes.
I have no contacts for you or your son. I just want to say that I hope you can find some help for him. You're such a good mom. You are doing all you can. It sounds like he's trying so hard!
Keep us posted.
Adding my good thoughts to the other comments. Hope he can find some help soon - he sounds like such a strong, vibrant kid! Keep us posted!ReplyDelete
I'm working on helping! Inquiring with my HR dept. about things and we are also two weeks away from merging with another major company and while things are not certain, we expect a big boost in MFG here in Portland. As I said before, Dave's Killer Bread is the most well known company in Portland that would likely be of benefit immediately.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, everybody, greatly appreciated, all thoughts and attempts of help. As for Dave's bread, I emailed the manager, and she sent us/him through a regular online application as everywhere else (what he did) and said that there are many applicants and few positions. That's the thing, personal factor is what helps putting a foot in the door, yet missing these days of technology...nobody can even get to a hiring manager to speak with passion, things get lost in paperwork.Delete
Olga-wish I knew people in Portland....If any one needs a break and a change it is your son. It certianly isn't easy to be in his situation but his will is a testiment to the impact of your love,support and faith in him. Wishing a speedy resolve from Seattle. I'll keep my ears open if I hear of anything in P-Town.ReplyDelete

Product Questions
It will not release back phosphates under aquarium conditions.
It depends on how large your tank is. The easiest way to do the math is to use our reef calculator at the link below. You enter the size of the tank and the type of GFO you want to use, it will tell you how much GFO to add.
For a tank that size you would want to run 1 cup of GFO. The easiest way to do the math is to use the BRS Calculator right here:
The GFO HC is a denser/harder product which means it can handle more flow without breaking down (though at the same flow, its tumbling characteristics would be about the same). If you are trying to increase flow you could also remove the sponge pads in the reactor when using GFO.
It sure will. Its a great combo if you need something that is hang on back!
It is a good idea to rinse GFO quickly with tank water to wash off any small dust. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
GFO will help to remove silicates from the water slightly. It sole purpose however is for phosphate removal.
Overall you will use our aquarium calculator to find the correct amount between 2.5 cups for regular GFO and 1.25 cups for High Capacity. With this said you can use a single reactor for High Capacity and a larger reactor would be needed for the regular GFO. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
There will be 8 cups in a half gallon container.
It is best when tumbled in a fluidized bed reactor as the media otherwise has a tendency to harden into a brick, but even placed in a filter sock would be better then nothing.
There isn't any minimum size limit to the high capacity gfo. It can be used in any aquarium it just happens to be more popular in larger tanks because you don't need as much media. Its handy when your trying to keep the equipment smaller while still maintaining the same effect.
Full Details
Two Types of GFO:
- Granular GFO is varied in its shapes and requires the least amount of flow to tumble. Good for reactors.
- High Capacity GFO is twice as dense as Granular GFO, so twice as much material will fit into a reactor. It's extremely hard and has less dust to begin with. Fewer fines will be created during use and transportation. By volume, High Capacity GFO will remove roughly twice the phosphate compared to the same volume of Granular GFO. Best overall performance.
Special note on fighting existing algae problems: Algae needs three main nutrients to grow: phosphate, nitrate and light. Reducing any one of these will significantly slow down algae growth but may not completely solve your issue. Once algae takes hold, it can be a difficult battle but it is winnable. The best offense against algae is to take preventative measures and attack nutrient before an outbreak is apparent. Use the following suggestions and be aggressive if an algae problem is already present:
- Maintain undetectable phosphate levels with good feeding habits and use a phosphate remover like GFO. 99% of all phosphate is added to the tank via foods.
- Control nitrate levels by reducing feedings, increasing the water change schedule and maintaining a properly sized protein skimmer.
- Use nutrient free RO/DI water for water changes and top off water
- Shorten your lighting period or intensity. In some cases aquarists have found replacing old bulbs that have fallen out of their intended spectrum helps as well.
- Continuously remove as much algae as possible by hand.
- Add predators - nothing helps an algae outbreak as much as critters who eat it all day long. Various tangs, lawn mower blennies, crabs and snails are all good options. It is also theorized that a healthy pod population will also control algae growth before it gets a chance to take root.
Note: All Bulk GFO is packaged by weight.
Low residues or particulates By Anibal on 12/16/2016Anibal would recommend this product to a friendVery high capacity last longer than regular brand with almost no residues.
Performs great at a great value By Allen on 11/24/2016Allen would recommend this product to a friendVery little dust, lasts much longer than other GFO and at a solid return for your money.
Worth the money By Adam on 6/26/2016Adam would recommend this product to a friendQuick to rinse, works great.
dan would recommend this product to a friend By dan on 6/14/2016dan would recommend this product to a friendVery good product.
BRS Bulk GFO Granular Ferric Oxide - High Capacity By Ernie on 2/6/2016Ernie would recommend this product to a friendVery good product
Good, but not great By Chas on 1/19/2016Chas would recommend this product to a friendThis stuff works pretty well. It rinses clean very easily but it is not removing phosphate as quickly as RowaPhos. It is less expensive and easier to use, so it will probably be good for maintenance, not leaching precipitated phosphate from your rock.
Great Product By KEITH on 12/27/2015KEITH would recommend this product to a friendThis is one of many products that the saying "you get what you pay for " fits well
Love it By Hamburg on 12/14/2015Hamburg would recommend this product to a friendworks great nice clean water
Runses clean By percula99 on 12/7/2015percula99 would recommend this product to a friendI prefer the high capacity GFO because it rinses clean almost immediately. Less messy than regular GFO and really removes phosphate.
Magic By randy on 11/18/2015randy would recommend this product to a friendBRS GFO high capacity works great on my tank. Nuisance algae is gone since I'm using this brand with BRS dual reactor. Just follow the recommended dosage and you're good to go.
Necter of the gods!!! By Reefinman on 11/18/2015Reefinman would recommend this product to a friendThis stuff is great!! Keeps the algae in check. My tank never looked so good.
Worth the money, works incredibly well By Amy on 11/10/2015Amy would recommend this product to a friendBought this product to help 'rehab' a neglected tank. Phosphates were through the roof, too high to register with our Hanna checker (over 2.50ppm). Added HC GFO to a BRS dual reactor and saw IMMEDIATE results. Within 72 hours phosphate levels were well below 0.5ppm and still falling.
Needs no real rinsing, just let the first little bit of water that leaves the reactor flow through some floss and a filter sock, to collect the fines (or discard the water). Tumbles beautifully in a reactor, we've had no issues whatsoever with clumping or pieces breaking down into fines.
Lastly, when compared to regular GFO, this stuff is denser; at first glance it looks WAY more expensive, but compared by weight it's not a huge difference and it's worth it. We use regular GFO for maintaining non-problem tanks, but if you have a high-load tank, you're dealing with a major phosphate issue, repairing long-term neglect, it's worth laying out the cash for this stuff -- it's not a gimmick, it definitely works more intensely than the standard GFO.

Giro is perhaps best known for its helmets, but don't think for a second that the Proof glove is any less deserving of your recognition. Its aim is to be your go-to winter riding glove, and with a waterproof-breathable shell, and generous insulation, it's well equipped for such an endeavor. But the real surprise is how low profile all of that protection really is.
The Proof glove looks the part of a full-blown winter setup, but thanks to its removable polyester insert, it's actually far more versatile than you might expect. The liner blocks wind, while the fleece lining keeps your digits warm in more moderate temperatures. And to ensure a secure connection with your controls, there are silicone grippers at the fingertips.
The liners are useful, but when the mercury drops, the waterproof-breathable shell glove starts to shine. With 40g Thinsulate XT-S insulation, it packs ample warmth, without excess bulk. It's designed using Giro's Super Fit Engineering, which considers the mechanics of your hand, as well as glove construction, to maximize dexterity. This is accomplished through the use of thoughtful seam placement, and perhaps most significantly, an ergonomic Clarino synthetic leather palm, which is grippy and durable. And to ensure you don't freeze your digits when you need to answer your phone, the fingertips employ touchscreen compatible technology, so you can keep your gloves on when you need them most.
The Giro Proof Gloves are available in six sizes, from X-Small to XX-Large, and in the color Black.

|In response to Re: Water continues to run after flushing toliet
: : Hoping you can help--My toilet kept running so we changed the insides--still ran. Well now I'm having the problem that the little hose that connects the shutoff valve behind the toliet keeps vibrating. If I turn the valve lower it stops but my toilet does not flush so I have to turn it up again to flush--it vibrates so I have to turn it down again..and so on & so on...Any ideas? If so is is something that I can correct myself? Thanks for any help you can offer.
: You might try checking the ball cock especially if you bought a flluidmaster when you rebuilt the toilet there is a real small hole in the diaphram in the cap that regulates the water and all it takes is a little teflon tape or piece of debris when you disconnected it to get sucked up there to make it start acting funny also the stop itself may have a little piece of stuff in it that would account for a vibrtating supply tube. As for the not shutting off check the height of the ball cock and if the level of water in the tank is above the fill tube (the tube in the center of the tank) than it will always run trying to fill the tank to the level that it's set at but can't reach because it just runs down the tube into the bowl. to adjust a fluidmaster (it's grey plastic with a black plastic cap) just turn off the supply to the toilet and there is a grey ring where the two tubes that make up the ball cock join make sure you turn off the water when you do this or you get a shower too anyway pull up that ring and lower the outer tube of the ballcock a couple of notches and push the ring back on again make sure it's all the way on and then turn on the water and watch it fill up it should turn off about 1 inch or so below the top of the fill tube (the white tube in the middle of the toilet that the flapper is connected to) if it's still too high do the stuff all over again. If after that it still keeps running, you may havee to replace the fill tube because it may not be making a good seal between the flapper and the seat it sets on. For that you have to remove the tank and it takes a Big pair of channel locks or a spud wrench to loosen the big nut underneath the tank that holds the fill tube in place the manufacturer says don't use pipe dope on the rubber seals on this and the ones on the toilet bolts (the ones that hold the toilet to the bowl but I always do I hate to have to do it over again just for a stupid leak. Be carefull when re- installing the tank on the bowl that you don't crank down on one side all the way first and then crank down on the other because this will definately break the tank it's china just like a plate is. Do like three turns on the left side then three on the right then the left again then the right just until you just start to hear the gritting of china on china that's all you want to go. Have at it and save about 200 dollars if you break it, Home Depot sells toilets for less than the service call of a plumber, it ain't brain surgery:)
