After being lit up in the first game of the season by the Anaheim Ducks, Cory Schneider - Vancouver's starting goaltender - was out for a little bit of redemption in Friday night's game. He got it, and then some, as he recorded a clean sheet to spoil Anaheim's home-opener.
Shoutouts are something of an over-rated statistic generally speaking. Sometimes goaltenders will make eleven of so saves, five of them difficult and will record one in a game their team completely dominated. That wasn't the case this evening and Cory Schneider's efforts kept Vancouver in the game early, and were critical in a blowout win in which Vancouver's defense didn't look particularly good, frankly.
While the Ducks were clearly the superior squad five-on-five, they were undisciplined, and Vancouver's power-play repeatedly made them pay for their mental errors and occasional thuggish shenanigans. The combination of dominant special teams and air-tight goaltending allowed Vancouver to blowout their opponents in a game that really had no business being so lopsided.
Read on past the jump for a recap and analysis.
- We'll start, as usual, with the most important statistics. The Canucks were out-chanced 22 to 11 overall, 21 to 6 at even-strength and 5-2 with the score tied.
- Usually when you post a scoring chance differential that hideous, the blowout doesn't go in your favour. So the most important metrics for this game are as follows: the Canucks out-chanced the Ducks 5-1 on special teams, and capitalized on sixty percent of their five power-play chances (for three power-play goals). Meanwhile Cory Schneider faced eighteen "difficult shots" to Jonas Hiller's ten. Where Cory Schneider stopped every scoring chance that Anaheim directed accurately on net, while Jonas Hiller only managed to stop five.
- Yes the final score looks lopsided, but don't kid yourself: the Canucks won this game on the strength of superior goaltending, effective jerk-puck tactics and solid special teams play. After completely dominating the Canucks in the game's first eight minutes or so, the Ducks completely lost their composure. Following a soft holding call that went against Daniel Winnik, the Ducks took a string of bad penalties on legitimately dangerous plays by Ryan Getzlaf, who smoked Mason Raymond with his stick in a post-whistle scrum, and Bryan Allen, who threw an impossibly late hit on Dale Weise for the interference call.
The Canucks cashed in with power-play goals by Daniel Sedin and Mason Raymond, and the Ducks had dug themselves a hole against a hot goaltender. It's ironic, really, because the Ducks truly had Vancouver's number five-on-five in this contest but failed to play the game on their terms. Vancouver suckered the Ducks into mucking it up, picked their spots better than their opponent, and took advantage of their opportunities on the power-play. I suppose we now know what Vancouver's gameplan looks like in Ryan Kesler and David Booth's absence.
- Jordan Schroeder recorded his first NHL point when Mason Raymond took a nice cross ice feed from the rookie and squeezed it through Jonas Hiller late in the third period. Production is cool and all, but far more valuable was Schroeder's ability to eat up ice-time without being a defensive liability and to win face-offs in the absence of faceoff aces Ryan Kesler and Manny Malhotra. Schroeder won 58% of his face-offs, skated legitimate third line minutes for the second straight game and contributed on two Canucks scoring chances, so all in all a fine second outing for the rookie.
- Aaron Volpatti had an Eric Bledsoe kind of game, in that he filled up the boxscore despite seeing limited burn. He skated for a shade over eight minutes but scored a goal, registered three shots on goal, recorded two hits and added five penalty minutes in a fight he won against Anaheim's Matt Belesky. I've been impressed with Volpatti's game for a couple of seasons now (albeit in limited action), and he really looks like the type of fourth liner you can count on to play a limited role when the games start to matter. Let's hope he can stay healthy this season.
- The Sedin twins were called out by Alain Vigneault after a lackadaisical performance in Wednesday night's game against the Flames, and they responded with a much better outing this time around. Where they combined on just three scoring chances in Wednesday night's game, they produced five between them against the Ducks (nearly half of Vancouver's total scoring chances in the game). Daniel Sedin scored the opening goal on the five-on-three off of a cross crease feed from Henrik, and the two combined to gift-wrap Zack Kassian's power-play goal early in the third. That goal really strangled any hope of an Anaheim comeback.
- Zack Kassian is now on a three game goal scoring streak, which is neat. For everyone who likes to critique Vancouver's player development and lack of drafting success, it's probably worth noting that in Kassian it looks like the Canucks now have a top-line forward on an entry-level contract.
Let's include Zack Kassian's goal in this post because it was probably the most aesthetically pleasing Canucks goal that the Canucks scored on Friday:
Kassian's minutes were down slightly from the nearly twenty he played against Calgary, but that's more reflective of the score than anything (he skated roughly the same number of minutes as Daniel Sedin did). I was, again, impressed by his improved speed and fitness level, and his ability to make the smart play when making zone-exit passes (something he struggled with a year ago).
Finally, Zack Kassian adds some much needed backbone to Vancouver's usual jerk puck gameplan. He's like the two of hearts in a game of big two. Two moments I particularly enjoyed were when Corey Perry grabbed his stick, and skated away quickly, basically picking the safest way possible to mess with the big man.
The other was on a play early in the second where Kassian was forechecking against Getzlaf. Getzlaf is a very slippery skater (despite his size) but Kassian did well to track him back into his zone and make sure he was able to finish the hit on him. Behind the play they beaked and I'm pretty sure Kassian was trying to goad Getzlaf into a fight (the score was still 2-0 at this point). Getzlaf is a much worthier opponent than Ben Eager, and it's good to see Kassian be more selective with his potential dance partners.
- Chris Tanev took a couple of shots where, I thought, he got an awful lot of velocity on his shot compared to what we've seen in recent years. Obviously he's not moving up the power-play depth chart or anything, and won't any time soon, but that's good to see. Tanev and Ballard are also playing an awful lot of minutes for an Alain Vigneault third-pairing and are generally acquitting themselves rather well in the expanded role.
- The top two pairings, on the other hand, are a cause for concern early in the season. Kevin Bieksa had a couple of really bad shifts to start the game though he calmed down and played a solid physical game the rest of the way. Meanwhile Alex Edler is still good for a poor read and a turnover that leads directly to a scoring chance per game as his struggles to adjust to the right-side continue. As a team, the Canucks are surrendering an average of 18 scoring chances against per game over their past three contests. Luongo and Schneider have played some phenomenal hockey in those games, thankfully, but it's tough to imagine this team getting very far if they continue to bleed chances against like that.
- Mason Raymond is so much stronger on his skates this season. I hadn't thought about it before the season, but it does make sense that he'd benefit more from eight months off of hockey (both to repair his body, and refocus his mind) than your average player. The second goal was a Jonas Hiller mistake, I think, but the first goal was a lovely play and his second power-play goal in as many games. Anyway, what I'm more impressed with is that Raymond is regularly winning puck battles at even-strength. Looks to me like he's poised for a rebound year, at least in terms of the underlying metrics.
- Corey Perry is a jerk, obviously, but he can play on my team any day of the week. I appreciate that he was frustrated when his team was laying an egg in their home-opener. I like to see that fire, frankly. He dealt with it like a chump (jumping Keith Ballard) but whatever, Corey Perry is still the man.
Here's the individual skater scoring chance data for the Canucks:
|Chances Taken
|Chance Assists
|Daniel Sedin
|Alex Burrows
|Henrik Sedin
|Mason Raymond
|Zack Kassian
|Jordan Schroeder
|Aaron Volpatti
And finally here's the scoring chance totals from the game:
|Scoring Chances (EV)
|1st Period
|2nd Period
|3rd Period
|5 (1)
|2 (2)
|4 (3)
|11 (6)
|8 (8)
|6 (5)
|8 (8)
|22 (21)
Good analysis.
Whatever happened to the more in-depth chances for/against?
To add: what do the (#) mean beside the total chances for a period - even strength chances?
Well, I think you and Perry have something in common , sometimes you are a jerk. I don't agree with your analysis of the Canucks at all. Winning counts and they WON. Period.

Good analysis.
Whatever happened to the more in-depth chances for/against?
timeonice.com still hasn't been updated to point to the current season's data, so we are stuck with assembling what we can ourselves.
What exactly qualifies as a "scoring chance"?
It's true that these aren't pretty scoring chance numbers, but there do seem to be some score effects. On the other hand, I do agree that there's still a lot of rust in the Canucks' defensive zone break outs.
What exactly qualifies as a "scoring chance"?
Any attempt on net from the breadbox shaped area in front of the net.

What exactly qualifies as a "scoring chance"?
Here's one of Cam's explanations from last season:
Vcr can't depend on officiating like that to often. So much for the every one hates Vcr

I liked Raymonds goal more than the Kassian one aesthetically. Batted out of the air on second chance, and nice pass by Burr
Actually, I though it was a great write-up. Thomas nailed it!
My expected. Goal formula:
has this game: Van 4.9 (GF) ANA 5.1(GF)
How would we of acted if a forward had a 5 point night????
This was truly an OUTSTANDING goaltending performance from Cory. He was 5 goals above an average keeper! But Vancouver has been getting A+ goaltending for so! long the Coach/media/most fans take it for granted. (I believe in Ana D. Sedin was the first star????)
Score effects were not an issue as ANA was dominant on ES throughout. My research shows the major issue is that the Canuck Defense are giving up the blue line to regularly & are not aggressive enough in zone coverage. As a result, they are not only giving up too many chances but they are from closer to the net & are Higher quality!
Are they out of shape? Have they lost there hunger? JG & AE need time to get familiar with each other but the other two pairs are with familiar partners.
GMMG said on radio the other day - what a team needs to win the cup is a) excellent goaltending (check) & b) luck???
Really Mike? how about a third line two way center?like A. Vermette? or B Laich? or M Goc?
Hello Army, first time poster long time reader.
I'm a huge canuck fan who moved to calgary and has been living here for the past decade. In social settings in this town that makes me worse than a nazi pedophile, I've learned to deal.
One week in and two saturdays in the book I've had the opportunity to "discuss" the strengths and weekness of the canucks to the flame faithful.
Luongo is the big topic of course, and everyone here thinks he's worth less than a bag of pucks.
I feel since the season started and teams have struggled that his worth is growing. These are the teams and the deals I've proposed, what do you think.
Florida: Bjugstrad and first round pick Non negotiable take it or leave it
NYI: Niederreiter and Nielsen Unlikely that lou would go there but one can dream.
Phi: Couturier and first round. There is room for movement on this deal as long as couturier is involved.
Stl: The blues you ask? They will never win the cup with the goaltending they have now. I know your never suppose to say never....But the blues will never EVER win the cup with the goalies they have now. So the canucks ask for Berglund and Shattenkirk. Steep price you say, but thats the price won pays to trade in conference.
Chi Town: Go F yourself not happening. Unless you include Toews.... Second thought back to my first thought Go F yourself, rather trade with boston.
Oilers This is just a bad idea. Lou will most likely never except a move to edmonton and really who could blame him, but in case of the remote and I mean remote possibility that he would, do we want to face a top 10 goalie (And Lou is a top ten goalie who kicks major rump despite what many of us nucks fans think) with a major chip on his shoulder and something to prove 5 to 6 times a year plus playoffs. I think not. if there is a deal to be made the canucks have to get the moon. What do I mean by that: Yakupov, Petry and a first round pick. Or j.Schultz, Paajarvi, and Hartikainnen.
That is a heck of a lot to pay for a goalie with a contract like Lou you might say and it is, but that is the price to pay for trading in division. Dwayne Rolson cost a first round pick plus and that was before he was Dwayne Rolson. Thats the cost of doing business with division rivals, and thats why this will never happen. To high a cost for edmonton and vancouver can't accept anything less.
Finally there is the Centre of the Universe or toronto for those not in the know. I hate that this is the place most people think is the most logical landing spot for lou. The leafs do not have the pieces to satisfy vancouver's need. Bozak sucks, everyone of the leafs d playing for them now is infinitely worse then what the naucks have now. the Leafs have to give up: Kadri, Gardiner, and Frattin
This is non negotiable, heck I'd want a first rounder thrown in just to compensate for the lack of needs fixed with this crap fest trade. T.O just dosen't work.
What do you think Thomas?
I think that's all pretty far-fetched, personally. "For the moon" usually doesn't mean "your best prospect, two roster players and a high draft pick". A good return would be more like a third-line forward, decent prospect and maybe second rounder. Anything better than that is a steal for an older, expensive goalie that everyone knows we want to trade. He's a damn good goalie, no doubt, but no one's gonna sell the farm for him.
Bjugstad and a first, take it or leave it? They already left just Bjugstad.
Berglund and Shattenk... wha? Who makes that trade? Is Millbury running the Blues? Didn't Halak and whatsisface win the Jennings last year? And make the conference final? Yeah, who needs goaltending like that?
Oilers and Hawks will just never happen, Lu would never go to a bottom-feeder like the Isles, and Couturier... yeah, that would be nice, but why stop there? Why not ask for Giroux? No, Giroux, Couturier and a first. I'd let him go for that.
Man, I really went on here. Sorry, dude, but it was just so far from reality I had to make myself look like a jerk. I'll try to rein it in next time.
Back to you, Thomas!
A trade with STL would be interesting but I can't imagine their ownership is stable enough to take on that kind of contract.
Why are you proposing a take it or leave it offer with Florida? If they offer something different that still makes sense I would take it.
Although it would NEVER happen, the thought of J. Schultz getting traded to Vancouver after choosing the Oilers over the Canucks last June would be hilarious.

I may be a little pissy when it comes to florida, haven't liked their hard ball stance so I've responded in kind. Still believe any deal with FLA has to be built around Bjugstad. There really is not a lot to like on their roster from a canucks perspective without him included.
Mitch you seem to fall into the lou is worth less than a bag of pucks group.
Gillis believes different or a lou trade would have happened by now.
If Edmonton wants Lou, there has to be a HUGE overpay or the canucks can not make a deal with them. These teams will never make a deal because of this, thats the point I was trying to make.
Same point really with STL. Lou on that team actually would put stl into the conference finals, last year lost to La in the conference semi finals or second round 4 straight because of spotty goaltending. More likely STL into the cup finals for next couple of years which is in the way of the canucks "window" to win. That has to cost something doesn't?

I mention to Pope Francis that there are Christians who live in situations that are irregular for the church or in complex situations that represent open wounds. I mention the divorced and remarried, same-sex couples and other difficult situations. What kind of pastoral work can we do in these cases? What kinds of tools can we use? We need to proclaim the Gospel on every street corner, the pope says, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing, even with our preaching, every kind of disease and wound.

Father Spadaro conducted the interview on behalf of La Civiltà Cattolica, America and several other major Jesuit journals around the world.

This is true godly faith in action.
This is true godly faith in action.
Brother, you don't have to go through all those steps....just talk to Jesus and the Father, and trust Him! It is all by faith my brother. If you want to adore....adore Jesus....He is the one who laid down His life for you.
It is Jesus who is present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, which He gave to us at the Last Supper. So, the Pope prays for an hour each evening just feet away from Jesus.
I see your point. Nobody has posted this item in the past NINE DAYS.
A clever way to thank me for posting it, since it is still timely.
The Catholic Church draws its teaching from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.
One Church, spread throughout the world, with about a billion members.
Protestants believe in Scripture Alone, and Personal Interpretation of Scripture.
41,000 little churches.
Where in Scripture does Jesus refer to "my churches" rather than "my church" (singular)?
Where in Scripture does it suggest that Jesus wanted 41,000 little churches when He prayed "that they may be one," and when He said to His apostles: "Go out into the WHOLE WORLD, teaching and baptizing in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"?
Where in Scripture is it suggested that anyone other than Jesus has the authority to found a church? Yet 41,000 people have taken it upon themselves to do so!
In other words, faith is very simple and all the rigmarole of organized religion is not necessary at all.
Exactly what I have been saying all along.
Organized religion is unnecessary.
That explains why God didn't have Moses build a tent for the Ark of the Covenant. That explains why God didn't create the Levites as priests to offer sacrifice. That explains why God never directed Moses to make laws to govern the Chosen People.
That explains why Jesus never went to the Temple to pray. It explains why, when Jesus saw the Temple being used as a marketplace, it didn't bother Him. That explains why, when He was about to die, Jesus didn't bother with all the rigamarole of eating the Passover meal with the apostles.
Oh, Arthur, until the Spirit opens your eyes to the true meaning of "the church" you will persist in this statement.
I gave you that article so that you could see how very simple faith in God is...how very personal....how much a relationship it is.
I know it must be incredibly difficult for someone in Catholicism to think outside of it but that is exactly what I am asking you to do.
Step outside your religion, in prayer ask the Lord to come and place His Spirit in you, believe that He has, and step forward in faith just as Muller did.
I related an instance of answered prayer from the Lord when I was was a brand new believer and, over time, I have trusted God for bigger things and He has always answered.
I am not advocating any religion be it Catholicism or whatever. I want you to have a personal relationship with the Living God and see Him work in your life just as He did in Muller's and mine and all the other believers in this world.
This is what is lacking in Catholicism...this wonderful personal relationship with our Creator.
Read the entire thread....watch the youtube video on Muller...and see how truly simple faith is...ask, believe, trust, and then see His response.
Try Him....He loves you so much and only wants your faith....just as expressed by Muller, by myself, by believers down thru the ages.
God bless,
Your heart and mind and spirit are closed to the truth now, but one day I pray He will reveal Himself to you.
No, thanks.
I have to go now. It's time for me to worship my statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
Then I'll be going to the hospital to visit some lonely people, in order to earn my way into heaven.
Since it's Saturday, I'll also be going to confess my sins to a mere man.
Oh dear.....open your eyes please before it is too late.
Take care,
In the evening then, between seven and eight oclock, I stay in front of the Blessed Sacrament for an hour in adoration.There is a cardinal that mentioned to us many years ago that he had no time for Adoration during the day (or night), but if Pope Francis can do this (who is busier than the pope?!) and hopefully he'll keep speaking about it time and time again, then we can all be lifted toward that direction.
"Nowhere on earth are you more welcomed, nowhere on earth are you more loved, than by Jesus, living and truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth." --Mother Teresa of CalcuttaPerpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapels
Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. (Matthew 18:19-20)
So can you; so can we all. Just join hands with another person to pray, and Jesus is right there beside you.
The analyses were conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs.[Other approved] Eucharistic Miracles
These analyses sustained the following conclusions:
- The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood.
- The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.
- The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart.
I pray on my knees in front of my statue of Mary from the time i get up of a morning 4 am until my wife calls me for breakfast and i pray mentally as i eat.
On my way to work i get down on my knees in front of Mary and pray for five minutes, and on my drive to work i always stop at least twice and get on my knees in the walmart parking lot as i have a 30 minute drive.
When i get to work i always stop in the break room and pray until time to punch in and when work starts i am not allowed to to be away from my post so i spend 8 hours counting beads because my job does not require my hands.
I also spend my lunch time praying for all of those lost souls that i work with that say they don,t have time to Pray because of doing my job, :yeah right:, so being hungry when my shift ends i just stop and Pray once on the way home.
My wife has dinner ready so being hungry i spend thirty minutes with out praying but i do Pray and count my beads while my wife is bathing me.
Then i spend four hours in front of my statue of Mary and after that i pray myself to sleep and believe it or not i even pray all of the time that i sleep.
I think the Bible says something about not doing your alms before men but my Church sure don,t teach that nonsense.
I think the Bible says something about not doing your alms before men but my Church sure don,t teach that nonsense.Being a carnival-barker is wrong. Praying in public (or encouraging prayer), however, is not. [The late] Fr. John A. Hardon (a good friend of Mother Teresa's), once said:
One final word. All that I have said was not only an exhortation to say the Rosary. Absolutely not! I am pleading with you to become apostles of the Rosary. Promote the Rosary. Urge the Rosary. Teach the Rosary. Shall I say, advertise the Rosary. It is through the Rosary that we can bring countless souls back to Christ from whom they have strayed. It is through the Rosary that we can make them lovers of Christ through the mediation of His Mother, the Mother of Miracles since the marriage feast at Cana even to the dawn of eternity. [emphasis; mine]Since I have a disability that is always hard to deal with and on some days impossible to withstand, I carry a rosary around with me about 50% of the time. It not only helps me get to where I'm going (and back), but many people have commented on it, as it's beautiful in addition to being functional. In brings up wonderful conversations, as many folks are non-attending Catholics, but remember their First Communions with joy, etc. I do not know your affiliation, but some non-Catholics bring up that verse [I think] because they don't want others to be encouraged to pray asking intercession [of Mary].
Whoops, you said alms... I put that post up too quickly... was in a hurry to give alms to the church... -lol-
And when the pope leaves, Jesus is left sitting there in that 'thing'...
Very elementary questions...A little bible research will reveal the answers to you...
Jesus is in heaven...He never left heaven...He is sitting at the right hand of the Father...Nowhere is there any evidence that Jesus leaves heaven...
The story of Jesus leaving heaven is a myth...It is more Greek mythology...Jesus told us he was going to heaven and he sent the Holy Spirit to take his place on earth...
Whoops, you said alms... I put that post up too quickly... was in a hurry to give alms to the church... -lol-
But think nothing of it, i goof more than i don,t goof.,,, lol
And when the pope leaves, Jesus is left sitting there in that 'thing'...Heavens no! Jesus is never left alone in the monstrance.
I know you believe it is pointless and sinful to ask our deceased relative and friends, or saints, to pray for us.
Is it also pointless and/or sinful to ask angels—such as the angel Jesus says is assigned to each of us—to pray for or assist us in any way?
That is falsely assuming Jesus wants to sit in this wafer til someone eats him...
Jesus does nourish his flock...Spiritually...
Christians are nourished each and every day by the Spirit who indwells us...
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Every day...Without the Eucharist...
Col 1:8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
Actually, no. He is put back in the tabernacle.
And of course, Jesus is not "alone." While He is sacramentally present in the Eucharist (as He promised at the Last Supper, when He said, "This is my body...This is my blood"), He is in Heaven, at the right hand of the Father.
"....Is it also pointless/sinful to ask angelssuch as the angel Jesus says is assigned to each of usto pray for or assist us in any way?...."
Why would any individual pray to anyone other than Jesus? Common sense tells us He's the King and we have direct access to Him at any time...and He has asked we make our requests known to HIM.
It would seem people who have a need to go elsewhere aren't comfortable enough taking to Jesus. I think it has much to do with whatever their relationship is with Him....maybe their too distant from Him...maybe they haven't spent enough time with Him to build the ralationship of trust....but it likely falls on their relationship with Him and where that is.
Did your mother ever pray for you in her life? Should she not bother, since Jesus does everything?
Would you ASK your guardian angel for any kind of assistance?
If not, why not?
If not, then wasn't it pointless for God to appoint an angel specially responsible for you?
I just have a heart to share the Lord and show others how He has worked in my life and want that so badly for them as well. But it seems I have wandered into a catholic vs. protestant slug fest and, quite frankly, don't see much of the Spirit of the Lord on either side.
I go straight to the throne of God and make my prayers known and He delights in answering them for me. It is not up to me to convince you of anything relating to your religion, Arthur, and I really had no idea how dear these things are to you and other Catholics. When/if the Lord chooses to reveal any truth to you, He will.
In the meantime, I will just continue to post things that show how the Lord has worked in me and for me and you may take from them, or not, as you will.
May God bless you,
Look of "Communion of Saints," and see if makes any sense to you.
I read this, and no, it doesn't make sense to me...but that is because I believe Scripture as revealed to me by the Spirit. Catholics have scripture down pat but it is the interpretation thereof that is not correct.
But, again, it takes the Spirit of the Lord revealing Himself in your spirit for you to understand. My beloved grandmother, who was my Christian example, went to be with the Lord in 2009. I did not grieve for her at all...in fact, I rejoiced because I knew she was with Him....and I long to be there too.
To long for physical death is the hope of ever believer because we are instantly with Christ. I don't pray for my grandmother or to my grandmother....she has been made perfect in the Lord already and is in heaven with all those who have gone before. Believer's celebrate death because our salvation is sure and we know we will be with Him the instant we pass from this world to the next.
Awhile back I came across this book on Google and read thru some of the deathbed confessions.....some are from unbelievers and some from believers. You may choose to make of it what you will, but in my experience of death the believer's testimonies ring true....actually they all do for where each individual, according to his spiritual state, will be spending eternity. As believers, we simply have no doubt where we will be when we die, and you may too.
I hope that answered your question.
That is falsely assuming Jesus wants to sit in this wafer til someone eats him... Jesus does nourish his flock...Spiritually... Christians are nourished each and every day by the Spirit who indwells us...Well the Spirit must be working within you, because I never used to be able to read your commentary without feeling like I just took 2 Niacin tabs. :)

- Builds and strengthens gums with Hydro Q-Sorb—the same highly absorbable CoQ10 found in Omega Q Plus!
- Decreases gum irritation
- Promotes overall gum health
- Fortifies your natural oral defenses and protects against free radicals
- Freshens your mouth and breath
- Great to use if you have bridges, dentures, or other dental devices
My Peri-Q-Sorb is an extraordinary combination of the latest ingredients for improved oral health. And growing research has shown a strong link between oral health and cardiovascular health.i ii iii
It starts with the world's most powerful CoQ10
This oral health breakthrough features Hydro Q-Sorb CoQ10, the same highly absorbable CoQ10 found in my #1 heart health formula, Omega Q Plus. This powerhouse antioxidant is best known for its heart-supporting and energizing benefits, but clinical research has shown that it can also dramatically improve periodontal health.
These amazing periodontal health benefits were achieved with just 50 or 100 mg per day of ordinary CoQ10. And with Peri-Q-Sorb, you get 100 mg of Hydro Q-Sorb CoQ10, which has been shown to be 8 times better absorbed than ordinary CoQ10. When you do the math, that's equivalent to 800 mg of ordinary CoQ10.
That means you get abundant antioxidant protection and support not only for your mouth and gums...but also for your cardiovascular system, immune health, and more!
Plus 4 more nutrients proven to support oral health
Peri-Q-Sorb also includes four targeted ingredients: zinc, vitamin C, folic acid, and xylitol that Dr. Sinatra chose for their scientifically proven ability to strengthen and nourish gums and teeth.
Together, these potent, natural ingredients work to fortify and soothe irritated gums, protect your entire mouth against free-radical damage, promote healthy teeth, freshen your breath, and support overall oral health.
The nutrient combination in Peri-Q-Sorb also works to keep your gums healthy and comfortable if you have bridges, dentures, or other dental devices.
And the best news? You don't have to step foot in a dentist's office for these important periodontal benefits! Of course it's important to see your dentist at least twice a year, but now you can support your oral health every day at home by simply taking one fruit-flavored lozenge three times a day after meals.

Greaat Episode and sad at the same time!
but people prepare yourself for the worst -HQ Episode ever made from the worst Korean team ever
Greaat Episode and sad at the same time!
but people prepare yourself for the worst -HQ Episode ever made from the worst Korean team ever
Great episode.
It wasn't as emotional as I thought it would be, prolly cuz I knew how it was gonna end, but if they had played a song like Sadness and Sorrow, I might have found it more touching.
One thing that upsets me though is how pointless Jiraya's death is... Granted, you can argue that his death allowed Pain's secret to be uncovered, but is it really so? He had already seen the six paths of Pain, so why would he need to come out of his barrier at the price of his life, only to look at them one more time?
Great episode was more epic than I imagined and surpassed the manga!
- The extra battle scenes where nice especially when God realm brought down that building.
- Notice that the anime completely separated the Uchiha fight from the Jiraya v Pain battle.
After the Uchiha fight there is going to be a major filler for sure
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Spoiler!From our point of view, yes, it seems pointless. Only Jiraiya had the opportunity to know the secret about Pain - due to his prior knowledge of the ninjas he had met during his travels. That is why he had to go back, to confirm their identity. Had he not confirmed, and left the scene, he would have been alive. But Pain would most likely just have made 6 other bodies, and made a grand reentry.
Don't forget the fact, that Pain's abilities were far more capable than Jiraiya ever imagined - Do you honestly think that ANYONE would have a chance against him, had they not known about his abilities? - He crushed Konoha to the ground - Tsunade, Kakashi got disabled. Even Naruto got pinned down. That would have stayed a fact, had they not known about his abilities.
My point is, he had seen them clearly before he went behind his barrier, so why couldn't he retreat and just think this through, what did he gain by looking at them one more time?
It gives him a great death and all, maybe he wanted to die that way to make up for his life full of "failures" (Jiraya's words, not mine...)
Major Spoilers!
Spoiler!If Jiraiya hadn't have died, he wouldn't have gotten the information for Naruto to kick Pain's ass.
Jiraiya's death was reasonable in my eyes.
Spoiler!It's a wonder Jiraiya didn't leave the leaf for Hidan's village of pervy paradise... The village hidden in the hotsprings!
72 hours of hell!
That was the most epic episode ever. Holy shit. This was the 1st time I actually cried watching anime even though I already knew what was coming.
It's episodes like these that give animes a legendary status. Naruto, despite all the shit fillers, will be recognized as one of the best anime ever.
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
You all still have Zoidberg!

The SLX is powered by a 3.2 liter, all-aluminum, single-overhead-camshaft V-6 engine which produces 190 horsepower at 5600 rpm, and 188 lbs-ft of torque at a low 4000 rpm. Four-valve-per-cylinder combustion chambers help to provide both high torque at low rpm and excellent breathing at higher engine speeds. Electronic fuel injection compensates for varying driving and atmospheric conditions, and provides enhanced driveability in both on- and off-road operation.
The engine is located longitudinally, moving weight to the rear for optimum handling. The standard 4-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission is bolted as a unit to the shift-on-the-fly 2-speed transfer case, increasing rigidity while reducing noise and vibration. For improved response and efficiency,the transmission features converter lockup in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
The Acura SLX is rated with a 5000-lb (Class III) towing capacity,assuming the use of approved load-compensating trailer hitch and trailer brakes.
Engine Block
Like all other Acura engines, the block of the SLX engine is an aluminum casting with cast-in iron liners, a design known for its light weight, excellent rigidity and good long-term durability. The crankcase is designed with a deep skirt and extensive webbing for added rigidity, reduced noise and reduced vibration. The cylinder banks are set 75 degrees apan; bore centers are 102mm apan. The SLX engine is an oversquare design, with a bore of 93.4mm and a stroke of 77.0mm.
Cylinder Head/Valvetrain
The SLX engine features a 4-valve-per-cylinder valvetrain with pent-roof combustion chambers. The oversquare bore/stroke ratio allows for larger intake and exhaust valves which improve engine breathing and power output. A single camshaft for each cast-alumminum cylinder head is driven by a flexible toothed belt. Hydraulic lash adjusters are used for reduced maintenance.
Electronic Engine Management
A sophisticated Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls and coordinates all engine and transmission function, resulting in increased performance, enhanced reliability, smoother shifting and reduced emissions. For improved acceleration under full throttle, the PCM automatically disengages the air conditioning compressor. Under moderate acceleration, the PCM also eliminates alternator drag by interrupting battery charging; if the headlights are on, the PCM lets charging continue uninterrupted.
Electronic Fuel Injection
Fuel is metered by the PCM, based on data received from sensors that measure intake vacuum, air mass, throttle valve position, coolant temperature and engine rpm. Fuel is maintained at a constant pressure in the fuel rails above each cylinder bank; the PCM regulates fuel delivery by varying the opening time of each cylinder's individual injector.
Stainless Steel Exhaust System
A highly efficient stainless steel exhaust system is used for excellent performance and enhanced durability in difficult driving conditions. The system uses 2 pre-catalytic converters and 2 main catalytic converters, giving quicker light-off, better flow characteristics, improved component protection and better packaging efficiency than a more conventional single-converter design.
Ignition System
The PCM precisely controls ignition timing by monitoring a crankshaft angle sensor mounted in the engine block. A direct ignition system with six individual ignition coils is used, each providing a 33,000 volt spark to help ensure complete combustion.
4-Speed Automatic Transmission
Every Acura SLX is equipped with an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission. The solid-state PCM uses information on manifold pressure, throttle position, drive-wheel speed and engine rpm to determine upshift and downshift points. A "power mode" button allows the driver to extend the allowable engine rpm before an upshift, letting the engine rev higher for better acceleration. A "winter mode" button holds the transmission in third gear only when starting, for reduced wheelspin on ice or other slippery surfaces. A "torque control" feature in the PCM reduces torque output during shifts for smoother driving and enhanced durability of transmission components, and precludes the necessity of changing the transmission fluid for the life of the vehicle.
Limited Slip Differential
A longitudinal driveshaft transfers torque to both the front and the rear differentials. The optional Premium Packageincludes a rear differential with a clutchtype limited slip feature, automatically transferring power to the rear wheel with the most traction.
Shift-On-The-Fly 4-Wheel Drive
By simply moving a lever, the driver can switch between 2-wheel-drive and 4- wheel-drive while still moving at any speed under 60 miles per hour. Three drive modes are provided: 2-wheel-drive high, for normal on-road driving; 4-wheel-drive high, for higher speed driving in challenging driving conditions; and four-wheel drive low for serious low-speed off-road use. The three modes are selected using a single lever.

Cagliari Flights
Cagliari is a capital with a lot to offer. With its long history and amazing beaches, it is one of Italy's unmissable places. Great for any kind of trip with any company, it is always the right time to fly to this splendid city!
What trip to Sardinia would be complete without a few days by the sea? Italy's most famous coastal region knows a thing or two about beaches. The main and most famous beach is definitely Poetto, around eight kilometers long with crystal-clear waters, dominated by the Sella del Diavolo (Devil's Saddle) promontory. Its nature and pale sand merge perfectly with the blue sea and sky, creating a unique setting for both young and old to relax and have fun in.
Visit the nearby Molentargius–Saline Regional Park to take photos of the pink flamingos that live on the pond, immortalizing them in picturesque shots, in a setting that is even more beautiful at sunset.
To get a deeper understanding of the origins of Cagliari, visit the National Archaeological Museum, which preserves objects from the prehistoric period to the days of the Byzantine Empire. Continue with a tour of the city center known as ''Castello" ("Casteddu" in Sardinian, from which the city of Cagliari gets its name), with its borders marked by the St Pancras and Elephant towers. Within the city, there is the Cathedral of St. Mary, famous for its crypt containing the relics of various martyrs.
While you are there, you can also walk through Stampace, the former merchant quarter, Marina, the fishermen's district, and Villanova, the shepherds' and peasants' area. Don't miss the Basilica of San Saturnino, the oldest in Sardinia that we know of, just one of the many majestic churches in the city center.
Also worth a visit are the Tuvixeddu necropolis, from the Phoenician-Punic era, and the Roman amphitheater, the "Colosseum" (or what remains of it) of the Sardinian capital.
Cagliari cuisine is characterized by strong flavors and ingredients of excellent quality. Any meal (or aperitif) will certainly be accompanied by pane carasau, very fine, crisp bread, and its variant with olive oil and salt, pane guttiau. Every self-respecting Sardinian restaurant will have the most typical local dishes on its menu, such as burrida, dogfish cooked and marinated in a walnut, garlic and parsley sauce, malloreddus, little semolina and saffron gnocchi, served with tomatoes and cheese, and the famous porceddu, pork roasted on a spit or underground. To finish, try a dessert such as candelaus, an almond pastry-based specialty with orange, and seadas, large fried cheese ravioli covered with honey.
There are also strong-flavored local wines like Nuragus (white), Monica (red) and the sweet Moscato and Malvasia wines.
What are you waiting for? Immerse yourself in a wealth of history and nature. Choose your travel dates and book your Alitalia flight now to discover Cagliari!

Fantastic Price
"I bought my first pair of these awesome running shoes at a specialized running store after being fitted and trying them out. I love them and ran two half marathons in them, but I paid a pretty penny.A close friend told me that DSW started carrying the PureConnect and when I saw they were only $70 I bought 2 pairs! I'm excited to train for the MCM and another half marathon in my economical and high quality shoes!FYI, these are very lightweight running shoes and because they are made with fewer heavy rubber materials, they will wear out about 100 miles sooner than the bulkier shoes. So, if you plan to run long distances in them, you may want to invest in multiple pairs."

I seriously cannot recommend enough that you download this mix immediately. I think I've listened to it at least six times now in the last week. If you're familiar with Shadow Dancer (three gold stars for you!) then this mix will be quite the surprise as I can positively say I've never heard this side of the brothers before, whether it be live or in their production. Filled with beautiful autumn grooves this entire mix evokes everything about their new track 'It's The Everything' fresh off BNR's new sublabel, BNR TRAX.

As concrete hydrates and begins to set, it develops internal stresses. The objective in controlling shrinkage cracking is to relieve these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of a random crack.Soff-Cut® has the unique Ultra Early Entry dry-cutting system, which controls random cracking by making the cut at an early stage. The concrete can be cut within the first one or two hours of finishing and before final set. By minimising the risk of random cracking, this system greatly simplifies the working process, compared to conventional sawing.

Just for fun: Radio Joe's analysis of Edgewood Golf Course
by Radio Joe
posted Aug 14 2012 10:08PM
Tomorrow morning (or today, whenever the hell you read this), the 1250 Charity Golf Outing kicks off at 10am. Treating this event as if it were a Major Championship, I thought it would be fun to share my analysis of The Oaks course at Edgewood in Big Bend. I played the course this afternoon for only the second time ever, and some of the holes resonated very well (and not so well) to my scorecard. Here are some of the make/break holes on The Oaks course…
#2 – The second hole is a short par 4 that spirals downhill. Trees protect both sides of the fairway. If you're a long hitter, you should be able to run your ball up to the green from your tee shot. There are bunkers on each side of the green. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some eagles tomorrow.
#4 – Water, water, and more water. While there are zero bunkers on the short and narrow Par 4 fourth hole, there's a ton of agua. If you don't feel confident with your woods, I would recommend an iron off the tee. Since it's a scramble tomorrow, one would think somebody on your team can hit the fairway. Only the penitent man will pass on this hole. Making par here is not the end of the world.
#5 – The fifth hole is a straight, short, and reachable Par 5. Like the fourth hole, though, it's narrow as hell. There's a large pond that comes into play just right of the cart path. To the left of the fairway are a long line of woods (luckily they have it marked as a lateral hazard). If you can hit the fairway, you're in business. The green is protected by two large front bunkers.
#8 – Perhaps the shortest Par 3 and the easiest hole on the course, it's about 150 yards uphill to a small green. Like the majority of the holes on the Front 9, this hole has woods on both sides. If you can hit a straight iron shot from off the tee, making a birdie on the scorecard shouldn't be out of reach.
#11 – This Par 3 kicks off a beautiful stretch of scenic holes on the Back 9. Teeing off from the top of the hill, you can see a picturesque view of southern Waukesha County. The hole is about 169 yards downhill to bunkers guarding the right, left, and back portions of the green. A 6-iron was the perfect club for me; I practically threw a dart at the green and left myself about a 30 foot putt for birdie (I ended up two-putting for par). If you hit your shot too long, you may end up in the fescue. There's a lot of fescue at Edgewood; it can crucify your round if you decide to play out of it.
#13 – By far my favorite hole on the course, this hole reminds me of the 17
at TPC Sawgrass, just for the fact that you're hitting onto an island green. With a large bunker snaking across the front of it, this green is huge, so it's not the end of the world if your shot is off target. If you find the water, though, there's a reasonable drop zone to the left of the green by the cart path.
#16, #17, #18 – The 15
hole is the last Par 5 on the golf course. If you fail to make birdie at the 15
, the final three holes are not too difficult. They are mid-length Par 4s ranging between 350-410 yards. Of the three, the 18
is the easiest. Once you the clear the creek just in front of the tee box and reach a fairly wide fairway, you should be set for a short iron to the green. I almost made birdie there today.
As for the 16
and 17
holes, you have to clear a large bunker tattooed to the middle of the fairway on 16. The fairway is pretty wide, and there's no chance of hitting it out of bounds. The green is one of the smaller ones on the course, so make sure you get your yardage in order. There's a ton of thick fescue settling behind the green. Better to hit it short, rather than long.
While the 17
hole doesn't have any bunkers, it's important to hit a straight tee shot to a fairway that opens up after 200 yards out. There's a pond to the left, which is also close to 200 yards away from the tee box. If you can find the fairway, you'll need a long iron to an uphill green. Depending where the pin is located, it may be a challenge putting. The green is slanted downward from the back to the front of the green. Choose your shots/putts wisely…
Otherwise, have a hell of a time. Drink beer (or what I like to call swing juice), eat as much as you can, and enjoy the little amenities on each hole (like pieing Sparky in the face).
Larry Harris' group will probably win, so keep dreaming. You're not going to win. My group could make a run at it, but I'll keep my optimism to a minimum.

Warhawk guards jump-start big run as Germantown beats Falls
Indians put up fight despite being down two starters
The unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Germantown boys basketball team was having a difficult time fending off winless, but feisty border rival Menomonee Falls on Saturday night through about a quarter-and-a-half.
Falls held the ball for long possessions and packed it in tight on 7-0 all-state center Luke Fischer making it difficult for him to get touches.
But then Germantown became Germantown as the Warhawks used their surprisingly deep guard line to break open a 23-15 game with a second-stanza closing 19-2 outburst that ended any residual drama, as the 7-0 Warhawks rolled past the 0-6 Indians, 87-44.
"We can get these good outcomes," Germantown coach Steve Showalter said, "when we put on runs like that. When we capitalize on forcing turnovers and score six, eight, 10, 12 points in a row we can make life easier on ourselves. When we don't, we struggle."
The victory was the defending WIAA state champions' 35th win in a row.
Indians good until …
Indians coach Dan Leffel said he was very happy with his team's effort up to the moment that the Germantown run started.
"Those last three-four minutes of the second quarter really hurt us," he said. "We had a couple of minutes with some bad turnovers because we played a little soft. ... We gave up about 15 more points than we had to because we didn't play sound in that time.
"And that makes it really hard, because in the first place you have to play just about a perfect game to beat these guys."
The lead never dropped below 25 in the second half as Germantown's all-junior guard line, thought to be a liability this season, made life heck for Falls, frequently stripping and stealing the ball leading to easy fast breaks. Point guard LaMonte Bearden (13 points) and his brother, Brian, (12) were the key causes of the Indians headaches.
"I expect LaMonte to lead this team and he had a great game tonight," Showalter said. "He got his hands on everything with tips and steals. I'd just like him to be a little more serious.
"And Brian is not a true point or shooting guard, but he does a little bit of everything and does anything he can to help his team win."
LaMonte Bearden starts with Showalter's son, Jake, who is the Warhawks' shooting guard. Jake broke out of a mini-slump with a game-high 22 points, including four 3-pointers. Another junior, Dearionte Hudson, comes in at about the same time Brian Bearden does. He contributed two 3-pointers this night.
"Their guards have really quick hands and made it difficult on us all night," Leffel said.
Déjà vu in the backcourt
It's a sign of progress, noted coach Showalter.
"Two years ago, when we had Zak (Showalter), Josh (Mongan) and Malcolm (Bowers), I thought we had the best guards in the state," Showalter said. "I thought the same last year when we had Zak, Josh and Zack Kumbier. This bunch, with (senior) Jordan Kuczynski working his way in there, is trying to reach that point.
"They have big shoes to fill, but they are working hard."
Big man in the middle
Fischer also contributed 16 points and was a major factor defensively, swatting away Falls' fast break attempts on back-to-back possessions at the end of the third quarter.
The Indians, who were down two starters this game due to various circumstances, were led by Brandon Ramey with 17 points, including four 3-pointers, while freshman Juwan McCloud had nine.
Second championship?
"We tried to slow them down and spread them out," Leffel said, "and we got some high percentage shots early, but we just didn't knock them down. I don't think the score represented how well we played at times, but simply put, they (the Warhawks) are really that good.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they won another state championship."
But coach Showalter knows there is a lot of work to be done before that kind of lofty goal can happen.
"There are teams that are going to sit back in a zone against us and we're going to have to get better against that kind of defense," he said. "We'll continue to work on that. It's the kind of situation where our depth can really come into play."

Gallery: 4E-BP1 Blocking Peptide #1053
This peptide is used to block 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb #9644 reactivity in immunohistochemistry protocols, and #9644 and 9452 reactivity in western blot protocols.
The quality of the peptide was evaluated by reversed-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry. The peptide blocks 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb #9644 signal in immunohistochemistry.
Use as a blocking reagent to evaluate the specificity of antibody reactivity in immunohistochemistry protocols. For immunohistochemistry, add twice the volume of peptide as volume of antibody used in 100 μl total volume. Incubate for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to adding the entire volume to the slide. Recommended antibody dilutions can be found on the product data sheet.Storage: Supplied in 20 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.0), 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mg/ml BSA and 5% glycerol. Store at –20°C.
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this interaction and results in activation of cap-dependent translation (1). Both the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 activity (2,3). Multiple 4E-BP1 residues are phosphorylated in vivo (4). While phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR at Thr37 and Thr46 does not prevent the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E, it is thought to prime 4E-BP1 for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser65 and Thr70 (5).

Back at it: let's get started
Robin Brownlee
August 17 2009 04:41PM
Georges Laraque was dangling, Jason Chimera was hamming it up, Jay Bouwmeester was gliding around effortlessly despite the weight of his wallet and Kevin Westgarth was bleeding.
Nothing says the NHL season is upon us like the opening of Perry Pearn's Three-on-Three conditioning camp, and so it was today as the first group of NHLers tried to shake off the effects of summer with an on-ice twirl at the K of C Arenas.
Laraque, his braided locks approaching Kelly Malveaux length, barged around with the puck as he tends to do at these things. Who's going to take it off him?
Chimera, the local boy who has found a home and a nice contract in Columbus since the Oilers gave up on him too soon, staggered around on the side boards to emphasize a hit he'd taken, looking a like he'd forgotten to take his skate guards off.
Bouwmeester, who never looks like he's forgotten his guards because he's the best skater I've ever seen for a guy who is six-foot-four, sashayed about as he does, then proved again he's the worst interview in the NHL.
As for Westgarth, a minor league tough guy, he took a wayward puck near the right eye, leaving the session to look for repairs. He wanted Super Glue, but settled for a fix out of a first-aid kit and returned to the ice.
It's hockey season, alright.
The Fight Club
Laraque, who is part owner of the Body By Bennett gyms in Edmonton, has spent the past several months showing fellow tough guys Zack Stortini and Steve MacIntyre of the Oilers the ropes in training sessions both on and off the ice.
If Stortini and MacIntyre want to be at the top of their game, and in their job description their careers and NHL pay cheques depend on it, then they're learning from the best -- even if Georges does all his damage from the port side.
"We did a lot of fighting this summer," Laraque said. "A lot of technique and a lot of strength stuff to get everybody to be better. It's just giving a couple of tricks and pointers.
"Those guys work out at my gym. If they're tough guys, I'm going to train them to be tough guys and train them how to be better at what they do. I do everything I can so they can be as strong as they can be and do well."
For those who weren't exactly big fans of Stortini during his rookie season and chimed in on the Huggy Bear handle before he opened up last season and led the NHL in fighting majors, Laraque has a message.
"First of all, Zack is a really good player," Laraque said. "He's a good skater and he can play hockey. He's not a one-dimensional tough guy.
"It doesn't matter what people say about his style of fighting. When you fight heavyweights, big guys like me, you have to know how to defend yourself. The goal in a fight is not to get punched because you don't want to get knocked out.
"It depends what guy you're fighting. Some guys you fight are bigger than you. You can't fight open against guys that are six-foot-nine and outweigh you by 30 pounds. You've got to be smart and fight smart. Fans have no reason to criticize the way he fights."
As for Laraque, he's looking to overcome a herniated disc that kept him out of the line-up too often last season. A bad back is particularly problematic for somebody Laraque's size, but he's putting himself through a demanding off-ice regimen, including yoga, to remedy the problem.
Cowtown Jay
The Oilers never got a crack at Bouwmeester, the most sought-after UFA this summer, because he and agent Bryon Baltimore opted for a stack of cash from the Calgary Flames before hearing offers from other bidders, including the Oilers here in his hometown.
So now Bouwmeester, a sweet skater but a brutal interview, will wear the Flaming C in the Battle of Alberta.
"It's different," Bouwmeester said of trading the beaches and obscurity of Miami for Calgary. "Only because hockey is more a focus here. In Florida, it's a battle to get people out to the games.
"Hockey-wise, it's exciting because people get it and they're excited about it. There's stuff that goes with it, but you just kind of deal with it. You're not the only guy in that situation. It is what it is."
Out of sight and out of mind in the hockey hotbed that is Florida, it'll be interesting to see how Bouwmeester handles all the media attention he'll get in Cowtown.
It's not that Bouwmeester dislikes the media per say, but he's less than comfortable when cornered by notepads and microphones. The feeling is mutual -- choosing between interviewing the immensely talented blue liner and poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick is a toss-up.
Waiting game
UFA Mike Comrie is playing a waiting game when it comes to where he might sign. The former Oiler could end up back in Ottawa, but that will depend what happens with Dany Heatley.
"When you're in this situation, you have to be patient," Comrie said. "There's still a few deals that need to get done, so it's not really a rush until you find the right place."
For now, Comrie and agent Ritch Winter will keep tabs and see what their options are. Cap space, or lack of it, is a huge factor in player movement these days.
"When you get to be a certain age, you realize you want to be in a better position rather than jump at the first or second opportunity," Comrie said.
"I want to be in a good spot, get a chance to win and play some important minutes."
I'd be keeping an eye on Los Angeles.
This and that
UFA Blair Betts, considered by some an answer as the checking centre the Oilers need, didn't skate today but is registered at the camp . . . others on the ice in the first session included Stortini, Brian Sutherby, Matt Kassian, Jason Strudwick and Kyle Brodziak.

RB: I'm surprised that MacT didn't make your list of good interviews. You could always count on him for a 7dollar quote or two.
I always thought Pisani would be brutal to interview, too. I'm sure he's a good guy, but I often mute the TV when he's on and mutter to myself, "a cardboard box has more personality than him."

@ Robin Brownlee: Interesting information on what writers have to do to get stories from the locker room. I didn't realize there was so much competition with the TV guys.
It's not competition as much as it is deadlines, which used to be 10:30 at The Sun. Think of a typical 7 p.m. start. If the game ends at, say, 9:45, you've got to get into the dressing room, find your guys, get your quotes and then scramble to the writing room. If the guys you want are available right away and you hustle, you can get back to the writing room at between 10-10:10 p.m. You then have 20-30 minutes to make sense of what you've seen and the interviews you've done and write it in 700-800 words. If it's a 5-1 laugher, you might have everything written by the middle of the second period and all you have to do is get the quotes and plug them in. Easy. If the game has completlhy turned around in the last five minutes or is decided in overtime or a shootout, then you're starting pretty much from scratch and you've got less time to do it. Not so easy. When you're on the road and have to catch the bus with the team to get to the airport, it might be 10 p.m. when you you leave the dressing room with your quotes. Then, you run back to the writing room to finish your story and you'll see "Bus at 10:20" scrawled on the board. If that game has turned around in the last five minutes, then good luck. You literally have 5-10 minutes to write your game story. That's hair-on-fire stuff. If you've ever wondered why some game stories read like dogsh*t, that's why.

@ Robin Brownlee: I see that the sharks have striped Marleau of the C. Looks to me like they are trying to anger him enough to waive the NTC. How do you think that tactic will go over with the players?

Never popular, particularly with the players who've been around awhile. It also puts the new captain on the spot. Marleau is very well-liked by his teammates. Bad move.

Yeah it seems like a real dick move. Much like when Dallas took it away from Modano. But if the rumours are to be believed that they are trying to get rid of him then this certainly is even worse. Embarrassing a guy out of his NTC is pretty shady.

I wouldn't mind a bit if the Sharks embarrassed Marleau all the way to Edmonton. He's a player I would take in a heartbeat. Outside of a tough season a couple of years back, he's a lock to score 28-35 goals. He's a big guy, he's just edging up on 30 years old and he's a very good team player. He'd look good on LW here. He's not the biggest name the Oilers could land in their pursuit of a top-line LW, but he's a very good player.
August 18 2009, 06:53PM
@ Robin Brownlee: So you wouldn't be opposed to the rumoured three-way. He's definately be a welcome addition here. After that hit he took (can't remember quite when but I know it was a big one) and got right back up and played, the "soft" player label was wiped away for me.

Patrick isn't soft. Never has been. He's not a hyper-aggressive player, but he's not as passive of Penner. I'd love it if he threw his weight around more, but that's not his nature or his style.
August 18 2009, 07:11PM
I'd take Marleau over Heatley any day of the week. Heatley couldn't lead a silent prayer.
@ Robin Brownlee:
love your honesty and callin it like it is on the interview front. It's all about the personalities. The extroverts and the introverts.
What would we have to give up for Marleau and is it worth it for one year?

Amelia Beatrice (Amy) Lambert (née Absell) (1872–1964) was Lambert's wife. She arrived in Australia with her family in the 1890s, where she and her sisters, Marian and Evelyn, worked as photographic retouchers at Falk Studios in Sydney. Amy was a tall, strikingly beautiful and stylish young girl, with dark eyes, full lips and jet black hair which she often swept back into a bun. She was an aspiring author, who had written several stories for the Australian Magazine . She married Lambert on 4 September 1900 at St Thomas's Church, North Sydney, and two days later they sailed for London. She was mother to Lambert's two sons, Maurice and Constant, and provided a comfortable home for the family for over twenty years. She was a regular model for Lambert's art, dressing up in costumes and padding out her figure to play a part in his creations.
In this drawing Lambert created an affectionate view of his wife. He presented her with her head tilted to one side and looking out to the viewer through the corner of her eyes, with an open, outgoing expression. He modelled her features softly and tenderly captured the way strands of her hair fell loosely down her face. He sensually emphasised the sides of her neck; and he drew her from a close up position, so that we almost feel we can reach out and touch her.
Towards the end of his life he wrote to Amy, suggesting that she read Yeats's poem 'When you are old', with the lines:
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
Although dated 1906, this drawing would appear to be a study for the head of the mother in Lambert's Holiday in Essex c.1910 (cat.44). But in this drawing he created a more delicate, gentler image of Amy than in the painting.

Will The Nu-Vampire Trend Please Die? Tonight?
Remember the Tarantino/Rodriguez camp-fest that was From Dusk Til' Dawn? George Clooney killed a bunch of south-of-the-border stripper/hooker-vampires using holy water-loaded Super Soakers. That was in 1996, and it should've been the end of vampire-cool. Now look where we are.
Vampires are the worst. They're not evil-evil, anymore. They've been rendered powerless by True Blood and Twilight and now, The CW's The Vampire Diaries from fucked-up, baseless monsters who are honoring a timeless tradition of being terrifyingly rapey psychopaths who do nothing but sleep and kill, into very, very, very pretty people who are super-horny about their weird fetishes and yeah, I guess they want your blood, but what they really want is your girlfriend, homie. If you put fangs on everyone in The O.C. and set it a little further east, all it would take now is one "Welcome to the Transylvania, Bitch" to set off a cultural touchstone, now. It's cheap, stupid bullshit. Vampires—male and female alike—have been castrated of their fear-factor. Christopher Walken performing "Poker Face" is scarier than Twilight, the most famous vampire franchise of our time. Hell, Twilight fans are scarier than the vampires in Twilight. Just ask Robert Pattinson.
In this month's GQ, Tom Carson penned a essay sharing my distaste for what now passes for scary, compelling, and sexy, titled (naturally) "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute." While he enjoys True Blood for what it is, Carson closes by arguing that even zombies, undead as they are, are a smarter buy than vampires:
No wonder the bloodsuckers' main competition in pop circles is a renewed craze for zombies, the ultimate fantasy of mindless egalitarianism turned comic nightmare. Funny enough, they were always American: Defined a scant forty years ago by George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, they could be the only genuinely original contribution to monster lore we've ever made. As a given-we may be dumb, but we've got working brains-zombies feed on their superiors. But I can't think of a vampire tale in which that's been true, which is the sickest reason we can sneakily imagine ourselves being one. Not exactly a pretty picture of our secret lives in 2009, is it? Go vampire or go zombie, America: It's your choice. Just don't say this great country doesn't offer you one.
Remember when teenage girls loved the Backstreet Boys in a narrative where Lou Pearlman was the villain? Anything that can remotely make those seem like The Days absolutely blows. Vampires are not the new gays. Vampires belong nowhere near the word "tampons." Vampires should not be a clever narrative eye-wink joke to those who adopt them as "bloodsuckers." Vampires are the most boring, dumbed-down, unsexy, overplayed, ridiculous narrative device out there. This used to be the stuff of good literature! Holler back, Vampire Archives scholar Otto Penzler:
All (teenage girl Twilight fans) are in love with the vampire. Why is that? Because he's cool. He has got good manners. He's good looking. He's thoughtful of his girlfriend. Whereas most teenage boys are lame. They're at the mall with their baseball caps on backwards and they act like idiots. Girls are looking for someone a little more sophisticated and a little cooler.
Right, well, that guy doesn't exist in 8th grade. And soon, when Twilight fans grow up, they'll realize that vampires' sense of "romance" was just the long-con to get in their pants; male, female, doesn't matter. But forget the perceptions, forget the implications on teenagers, forget the literary device. Forget all that stuff. There are just better stories out there. Bottom line. We've got better scaries in Rabbi Boteach and Glenn Beck and 3/4ths of Murray Hill past 2AM on a Thursday night than any vampire can ever give us.
Give me a break. Vampires are fuckin' stupid. I hope they die. Forever.
