Picking the goat
September 15 2009 10:25AM
Picking the Goat for the 2009-10 hockey season is almost more difficult than picking the Star. Firstly, one has to take a look at the team's overall chances and the likelihood someone is going to take multiple blamings as the season wears on. The better your team, the less likely your goat is going to take a beating.
Say you are one of the eleven remaining fans of the Harlem Globetrotters.You have a reasonably good chance that your team won't lose a single game all season and odds are that the blistering basket shoot-scoring of the Washington Generals won't keep you up late on most nights. In this instance you have no real need for a Goat as success seems assured.
Now say you are a fan of the local ice hockey squadron, the Edmonton Oilers. Following their liver shredding Cup run in 2006, the Oilers have amazingly missed the playoffs three years in a row. This has not gone over well in the OilersNation where fans have become surely at best and murderous at worst. We had a long discussion with some of the boys about the temperature of the crowds that will enter RX1 this coming season. What will the prevailing mood be? Hopeful hope? Anger filled anger? Something inbetween like tepid indifference? It really could go either way.
The purpose of picking a Goat is to be able to hang your hat on an Oiler and blame him for the entire buffet table of bitter tasting woe that the Oilers serve to us on such a regular basis of late. When you name a particular player as your Goat he becomes the whipping boy for the entire team and a theraputic release for all things bad.
Ales Hemsky whiffs one? Damn the Goat for passing him the puck in such an off tempo manner. Oh it wasn't the Goat that passed him the puck? Damn his poor positional play causing a hurried pass. Goat boy wasn't on the ice for the whiff? Curse his bench sitting technique all to hell!
Now should your Goat actually cause some sort of unfortunate incident on the ice? Now you're talking! Friends witnessing the gaffe will often look to you and say "good call going with ___ as your Goat this season. That guy is twelve shades of shit." You can then sit back, smug in your predictory skills, almost taking pleasure at the brutalness of Senor Goato.
This is the way we pass the winter Nation. Until we figure out a way to keep Edmonton 24 degrees year round, this is the best we can do.
2009-2010 Goat Selecto
Last year we famously picked Dennis Grebeshkov to be the Goat for the season. Though some in the Nation figured his dramatically improved play, team leading plus/minus (or something) and (something something) meant he had turned the corner as an NHL player they couldn't be more wrong. While we were focused on his terrible play, worse attitude and awful results we found that we actually began to truly dislike him as the season wore on.
Think we hated Grebs last year? Check back now that it is 2010 and Goatie McGrebeshkov has signed a 3 million dollar deal. A 3 million dollar deal!? Has the entire world gone crazy? What in the sweet holy hell is going on? Remember when Grant Fuhr signed that crazy free agent contract with the Leafs? What did he make, like $1.8 MM or something? Now Grebeshkov makes 3 million? How do you think that makes Grant Fuhr feel? We will tell you how it makes Grant Fuhr feel. Not very good! And he has found a second life on the celebrity golf circuit.
No, no, no. This won't do at all. We love Grant Fuhr. Screw you Grebs, looks like you are up as the Goat deuce years in a row.
One final note
It's (Preseason) Game Day Bitches.

Oh, WELL then...I was not aware of that. It makes my pick of him as my goat all the more logical then...since that high five from the Mayor probably tore his rotator cuff.

@ jayoilfan:
Khabibulin has good years in contract years. We have 4 seasons of goat horns & seeing the cracks in the the crumblin Bulin Wall until that happens again. Swapping a 39 year old goalie with lots of mileage in the past couple of seasons for a slightly younger, higher mileage model should be an automatic set of goat horns.
But my pick is the easy way out & picking Staios. Too old - too slow.

He's prolly on the DL already. Dude would crack his pelvis if he farted too exuberantly.
September 15 2009, 11:11AM
This is soooo much better than working BTW
September 15 2009, 11:13AM
I was going to say Gilbert (or unfrozen caveman goalie Khabibulin, who as others have said will be returned to cryostasis upon re-injury of his groin), but then I had a dream where every fall I would check nhlnumbers.com and find out Staios' contract was extended another year, repeating for all eternity. I don't think Staios has the tools to compete anymore, and he isn't getting better with age.
September 15 2009, 11:13AM
Staios is my official pick, but I'll be screaming at thecaptainethanmoreau as if I picked him. Easy pickins I know, but if the horns fit....

How many games does Ethan Moreau play before he explodifies a part of his body?

I oughta tear your rotator cuff. How can you speak of the Captain in this fashion? Doesn't his title and office get him any respect?!?!
@Everyone chirping the Captain
I might seriously have to show you people how I got my Teardrop tattoos in prison. You can't chirp the Captain before the season starts! You silently hold in your criticisms until he does something wrong during a game, then you inappropriately spazz, then you lip your Goat off royally then you go back to bottling it up.
Such a lack of respect for the Captain!

@ Petr's Jofa: @ Travis Dakin: Thank you fine sirs. I am not responsible however if your I.Q drops from reading my posts...
September 15 2009, 11:19AM
I expect a bounce back year from Ethan and almost picked him as my star. Give the poor guy a break, sure he had a lot of penalties but due to his recent years on the IR he was still adjusting to the "new" NHL last season.
September 15 2009, 11:19AM
@ Wanye Gretz: His freaky eye gets him some respect. Cause nobody wants to look him in the eye. Just remember Shane Corson wore the C... Shane Corson.... Corson...
September 15 2009, 11:21AM
Ethan Moreau = goatboy. That is all.
September 15 2009, 11:23AM
Missed my pick from yesterday so here they are:
Star: Penner - he will use his size this year. he was also a runner up for my goat but I'm going optimistic.
Goat: Moreau - old, slow and selfish. he will expose himself and will hopefully be gone before the end of the season.

Dude if the guy bounces back, he's liable to break his spine. Lets just hope he does okay. I don't want to wish injury on anyone.
September 15 2009, 11:23AM
Why all the Moreau hate??? HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN ABOUT *CLAP CLAP*?!?!?!
September 15 2009, 11:25AM
Horcoff will be the goat. Too much expectations riding on him.
September 15 2009, 11:26AM
Sweet tap dancing Jesus. The guy has had more horrific injuries than the NFL combined in the past 3 years. Cut him some slack!
This is just not kosher behaviour. The Captaincy should earn you some street cred. Predicting injury and calling him the Goat? It makes my eyes bleed.
September 15 2009, 11:28AM
September 15 2009, 11:28AM
Felt the nead to search the Captain on the interwebs to see if I could come up with anything useful to defend him. (No luck) However I did come across this useless bit of information.
"Moreau is currently the only remaining asset that the Oilers retain as a result of the Wayne Gretzky trade—taking all subsequent trades into account."
September 15 2009, 11:31AM
@ Wanye Gretz: Hey it's not like I WANT him to be the goat. I would LOVE for him to be say... awesome with wickedocity every game.
BUT like your big Deucer Grebs... ya gotta call it like ya sees it.
September 15 2009, 11:31AM
@ Wanye Gretz:
September 15 2009, 11:32AM
I tried finding that sweet post game interview with the Hall and Oates clapping to no avail. That clip should be all anyone needs to be on board with the Captain.
September 15 2009, 11:32AM
Another fine painting Wanye. I assume the dollar signs are something to do with Grebs overpayment? And picking the same goat two years in a row, tooooo easy.
I have a sick feeling Bulin will be everyones goat before Jesus bithday.
@ Wanye Gretz:
"Goat boy wasn't on the ice for the whiff? Curse his bench sitting technique all to hell!"
This reminds me of a game last year where the guy behind me yelled at Penner to get off the ice when he hadn't set foot on the ice in at least two minutes.

It's because the goat, whoever he is, will be a cash-money millionaire.

September 15 2009, 11:41AM
I was hoping to pick a goat that would get traded out of town before the end of the season, just to put an exclamation point on things. ("Yes, he was that bad," they'd say; "We couldn't even put him on the bench because we'd still have to practice with him.")
Still, my Goatboy for this season will still be an Oiler at season's end because he is virtually untradable. His contract is that bad. I can't believe that he's not in the poll for goat; in fact, people actually picked this bag of rancid mucous for STAR, if you can believe it . . .
[shakes head]
Dustin freakin' Penner.
'Oooooh, he's the Man. No MacT around now to mess with his head. He's got it together now. He's ready to play some hockey this season.'
What absolute rubbish. If Penner was capable of playing without drawing criticism, he'd have done it already. You don't think he wanted to prove MacT wrong last year? Of course he did. Know why he didn't? Because he couldn't, and he still can't.
Penner is going to break a lot of Oiler hearts this season, and when people start using his name as a cuss-word, I'm going to point to this thread (and yesterday's; Sheeesh!) and ask you what the hell you were thinking.
Goat-Boy = Penner. Hands down.
I'll pick Staios.
He'll get undressed more than Wanye's sister at family reunions.
September 15 2009, 11:42AM
@ Wanye Gretz:
I love fine art, everyone can see different things in it.
I myself saw the sick behind the goat representing Khabby throwing his stick in a fit of rage after being pulled yet again. And the other goal is Khabby's counter part laughing at him...
See, even you subconsiously know Khabby is the 2009-10 goat. You just don't want to accept it.

It's OK. I once kicked Colin's sister in the chin as hard as I could. That was later known as "the day Colin was inadvertently circumcised"
@ The Towel Boy: I can picture it now:
"It's my turn"
"Wait Pa, she's ma sister too"
Too much?
@ Wanye Gretz:
Yay! Fun!
I was already circumsized once too.....

See comment #91.
@ Wanye Gretz:
That took me a minute, but that is one HELL of a burn.
W.T. here again, time for another season.
The goat will be the left winger on the first line as The Oilers don't have anyone who can fill these shoes.
W.T. suggests that Oilers will do much better than folks think. New coach will make a world of difference.
W.T. suggests if the Oilers are losing money, why would owner buy them?

Inter-Public Legality or Post-Public Legitimacy? Global Governance and the Curious Case of Global Administrative Law as a New Paradigm of Law
Ming-Sung Kuo
University of Warwick School of Law
February 29, 2012
International Journal of Constitutional Law, 2012
Warwick School of Law Research Paper No. 2012/07
This article aims to explore the impact of global governance on legal thinking by studying the case of global administrative law. Tracing global governance at the core of the international rule of law movement to the restructuring of legal landscape, I suggest that global administrative law underpinned by the underlying values of administrative law reflects a deliberately chosen approach to the new nomos of the earth in the global era. Distanced from the will of nation-states, the legality and legitimacy of global administrative are reconstructed around the idea of publicness, suggesting a new paradigm of law based on inter-public legality. I argue that under this new paradigm of law, political calculation displaces legal reasoning. Legality amounts to the dispensation of legal weight and is thus merged with politics. Given the non-public, interest-oriented character of dialogues in the politics of weighing, however, global administrative law suggests a post-public conception of legitimacy.

|Robert "Mike" French
By Laurie Cipriano
DOUGLAS COUNTY - A Douglas County Sheriff's deputy has been fired after being tied to a child sex exploitation investigation, 9Wants to Know has learned.
The sheriff's office said investigators received information about inappropriate text messages involving a juvenile last week. Investigators determined a deputy was alleged to be involved.
The investigation does not currently involve the direct involvement of other deputies, 9Wants to Know has also learned.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office identified him as Robert "Mike" French. He was taken into custody and posted a $50,000 bond.
On Monday, French's employment with DCSO was terminated for department policy violations and alleged criminal conduct.
- So much for innocent until proven guilty in a court of law!
French faces two charges of sexual exploitation of a child. The first arresting charge is for causing, inducing, enticing or permitting a child to engage in, or to be used for, any explicit sexual conduct for the making of any sexually exploitative material.
The second arresting charge is for possessing or controlling any sexually exploitative material.
French was arrested early Saturday morning, Hanavan said. Originally, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the deputy was arrested Friday night.
French is scheduled to be back in court March 15. He is expected to formally learn the charges against him at that court hearing.
French worked in Support Services for the sheriff's office. Support Services includes areas such as dispatch, information technology and civil, which serves court papers.
His current assignment did not include working with children.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office confirmed French was housed in Arapahoe County Saturday as a courtesy to Douglas County.

Interest Rate Business Risk Management
Take the risk off the table
In the current interest rate environment you may be concerned about your company's floating rate debt and the potential impact of increased interest expenses on your bottom line. What can you do to protect yourself? One solution is to take the risk off the table by exchanging your floating rate for a fixed rate in a transaction known as an interest rate swap.
In a rising rate environment, a swap offers
- A way to lock in your borrowing cost
- Considerable flexibility for your commercial finance solution
- Options for all or part of your floating rate debt — basically, whatever amount you want and for as long you want, subject to credit approval
Additional swap information
- Minimum for an interest rate swap is generally $500,000
- Terms can be one year and longer and the rate may be tied to Prime or (more often) to LIBOR
- No transaction fees
Here's how it works
Suppose you have a $1 million loan priced at LIBOR + 2.50%. Rather than refinance into a fixed rate loan, you can swap your floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment. You continue to pay BBVA Compass the variable rate on the loan at LIBOR + 2.50%. BBVA Compass (the bank issuing the swap) will agree to pay you LIBOR + 2.50% while you agree to pay BBVA Compass a fixed rate. In effect, the two floating rate payments cancel each other out, leaving you with a fixed rate payment.
If your business has floating rate debt, consider a swap.

NBA Notes
Kyrie Irving rested his sore right knee Tuesday night, shelving the All-Star guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Chicago Bulls. Irving hurt the knee in practice last week and was slowed by the injury during recent games at Orlando and Miami. He made just 6 of 16 shots in the loss to the Heat and did not have his usual explosiveness.
"It bothered him the last two games," Coach Byron Scott said. "The Orlando game, it bothered him, then the Miami game it bothered him more. So (Monday) he was still complaining about it really bothering him and hurting, but he wanted to give it a go. We just didn't think there was a reason why he should.
"If it continues to get worse, he'll probably have to sit out a whole lot longer than expected. So right now our medical team thought it would be a good idea to rest him next couple days and see where he is and we'll go from there."
The Milwaukee Bucks suspended center suspended center Samuel Dalembert for Tuesday's night's game at Dallas for an unspecified violation of team policy. General Manager John Hammond announced the penalty a few hours before the game. Bucks coach Jim Boylan did not give a reason for the suspension but said it was more for a pattern of behavior and not one specific incident.
"It reached a point where something needed to be done," Boylan said. "So we decided that this was the appropriate action to take."
Dalembert is averaging seven points, 5.8 rebounds and just 16.7 minutes per game this season. The 11th-year player came to the Bucks in a trade with Houston last summer and started 13 of the team's first 14 games.
Taj Gibson is expected to miss at least two weeks because of a sprained left knee, forcing the Chicago Bulls to play without one of their key reserves at a pivotal point in the season. Gibson was injured when he stepped on the foot of Oklahoma City guard Reggie Jackson in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 102-72 loss to the Thunder. …
Heat forward Shane Battier was held out of Miami's game against the Sacramento Kings because of tightness in his right hamstring. It's the seventh game Battier has missed this season. He missed three in late November and early December because of knee soreness, and then sat out three more in January with hamstring tightness.

Hello Dear Readers,
I have been thinking about you and my long-neglected blog while I have been tending to all things retail. The day job pays the bills, so that has been my priority for the last two months. There have been no recipes and lovely food pictures because there has been no cooking going on up in here. With the holiday season in the rearview mirror and the year-end inventory now complete, I have come up for air. This means you will be hearing from me more often. Lucky you! I promise more fun foodie things in the near future. For now, a little wrap up of 2012, in case you were wondering exactly what I was doing when I wasn't cooking and blogging.
Let's see, where did we leave off? Oh yes, NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writer's Month for the uninitiated). I did write a post or two since that began at the crest of November, but NaNo is a good place to start. In a nutshell, I failed miserably. I came out of the gate strong, and then my job interfered. Truthfully, I don't know what I was thinking. I could possibly undertake that effort in February or March, or even August; but November? I must have been delusional. Hello?! I work in retail. Duh. So there is no novel. There is the start of a novel and a bit of an outline and some character development. Maybe I'll get back to it. I did, however, learn an important lesson through my efforts: I don't have what it takes to be a novelist. I would be lonely and miserable locked up in my apartment for the length of time it takes to get a novel on paper. I love writing, and I think maybe I could crank out some short stories – one at a time – before I withered and died from lack of human interaction. But I am a social being, gregarious by nature, and I can't hole up and write a novel. To an extrovert like me, it's like being deprived of air. Attempting NaNo was an enlightening experience, one that I will likely not repeat. I admire those who write novels as a primary means of paying bills or a serious hobby. I will continue to read your work, and you are safe from any competition from the likes of me.
In other holiday season news, there is the dispatch of cards and gifts. I was a smart cookie this year (pun intended) and sent my gifts and cards off before the madness began at work, as opposed to the panicked 11th hour mailings of years past. Cookies, ironically, were not amongst the gifts as they have been in nearly every year past. I did make a few dozen cookies on Christmas Eve (at work!) and give them to the staff, but I otherwise simply bought gifts this year. To avail myself of the convenience of purchasing gifts rather than making them is why I have a job, isn't it? That, and to buy myself a working vehicle – my Christmas gift to myself. Well, you weren't going to buy me a car, were you? I didn't think so. Some things must be done by oneself for oneself.
If you know me, you know that I have not had a car payment in a decade. Once smitten with shiny new wheels every two years, I have been converted to the firm belief that cars are merely transportation and should not cost you as much as a small house or your monthly rent. So I have enjoyed a decade of no car payments and an assortment of cash cars (emphasis on assortment). That joy ride is over; I now have a car payment. In defense of my decision to break with my long-held belief system, I submit these justifications:
- My old 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee (God rest her soul) was diagnosed with an electrical problem that was not prudent to attempt to fix; she likely would not have survived the surgery and it was cost prohibitive. Her heart was quietly stopping in the middle of traffic several times per day and the CPR to get her going again was taking a toll on me. I had to put her down.
- Being concerned about getting another cash car with, say, a transmission problem or a ratty engine in need of a rebuild got me thinking about moving into the 21st century in my vehicle selection; we are, after all, in the second decade of the new millennium now. I think maybe it was time.
- I work my ass off for my paycheck and, due to other prudent decisions regarding finances like living in a very small, very crappy apartment, I can afford it. Having reliable transportation is important to my job, so it is a necessity. Plus, it is nice enough to sleep in should I lose my job.
- It isn't new – it's a 2004 – so I am still supporting the environment by recycling a used car. Yes, it has a V8 and drinks gas like I drink tea, but the power is awesome. I can totally leave you in the dust, should the need arise. So environmentally, it's a wash. No harm done.
- The payment is indeed a couple hundred less than my crappy apartment, and the change to my insurance was exactly $1 every 6 months. It was a good financial decision.
- It's a Toyota, so there's a very good chance it will still be on the road long after it is paid off.
- I can now safely leave town to visit friends without renting a vehicle. Plus, the radio and the cruise control actually work, making for a rather pleasant trip.
- If I meet a nice guy who has a nice boat and we start dating, I can totally tow it anywhere we want to go – the tow package is standard.
If, from this long list of justifications, you get the idea that there was a lot of guilt associated with the purchase of this vehicle, you would be correct. I am just coming into the phase of my life where it is officially OK for me to do nice things for myself just because. Heretofore it has been about kids and significant others and God & Country (the Army). Now it's all about me, and I'm not comfortable with being nice to me. But I think I could get used to it.
Another thing that happened while I was tying bows and writing gift certificates and shipping gift baskets and frantically reordering things when they were suddenly out of stock: I realized that I really like my job. I don't like the paperwork, and I don't like year-end inventory, and I don't like not having a day off in two or more weeks. But that stuff only happens for a short time each year. The rest of the year, I get to move at a much more reasonable pace. I get to conduct my beloved cooking classes (getting paid for cooking and talking is awesome when you don't have to do it every day); I am surrounded by all things kitchen every day when I go to work; I get to merchandise the store which makes up for having absolutely no redecorating options in my 500 square foot tree house; I get to attend one or two trade shows a year where I am able to ogle all the new pretty things, test out the gadgets, and sample some amazing (and some not so amazing) food products and decide which of these things I will bring to my customers; my hours are flexible; I have gotomypc so I can do some work from the comfort of my living room in my PJs; and I have some of the best customers and staff members ever. It's a good job. I am blessed.
Today is my day off. Like is does for most of you, that meant errands and laundry. The dog requested that I get him some more kibble so he doesn't have to have eggs and toast for breakfast tomorrow (actually, I don't think he minds). So the pet store was on my list too. With all of that accomplished, I am now off to the grocery store for some human viddles. Maybe I'll actually cook something. Gotta get back in the saddle sometime.
New recipes and food porn is forthcoming as I gear up for cooking classes that begin again in about 2 weeks. I promise. Until then…Ciao, my friends!

Comments: Super light without sacrificing all of the support. I have mild-moderate over pronation and these were an awesome race shoe (I normally train in the Nike LunarGlide 6, but am working on rotating in a Noosa Tri 9). First run had me within a minute of my 5k PR, even without having done any recent speed work. Fair warning, I probably wouldn't use below 10k, unless you're used to really minimal shoes.
From: Joel, Estero, FL, USA. October 28th 2014
Comments: Good shoe, but very large for its listed size. I usually run in 9.5s but I have to buy 8.5s for these. Take note when buying.
From: Adam, NH, USA. September 8th 2014
Comments: I was looking for a tempo shoe that is more stable and protective than a racing flat but still relatively light and flexible with a more level platform. The Super J fits my needs better than any shoe I've had in many years. Very pleased. Now I have a stack of other lightweight shoes that will be gathering dust in my closet because I'll be using the Super J exclusively for tempos from now on.
From: Jeff, Scottsdale, AZ. 2/18/14
Comments: I've run in DS trainers for years. I decided to switch to the J33 because I was looking for a lighter shoe. I'm very pleased with the J33. They are super light and responsive but still have the right amount of cushion and support. I did not have any problem from the first run in them. I think I'm not going back.
From: Marco Bianchi, Berkeley, CA
Comments: I'm a really big fan of asics new minimal shoe. I'm a mid foot striker that was looking for a great shoe to give me enough support for my overpronation yet a low enough profile to help my form. This shoe does it all. Just enough cushion for the longer road runs but enough responsiveness to get the leg turnover up on those hard workouts. I've run in the Kinvaras and the lyte 33s, both of which had too little support and left me with aches and pains. Can't say enough about the super-j. Great shoe, highly recommended!

The recent survey sent out to Emery County residents in their phone bills had an incentive for getting them back in by a certain date.
If you returned your completed survey, you were entered in a drawing for a $250 cash prize.
Welles Cannon who did the survey was on hand recently with the members of the Municipal Building Authority and Drew Sitterud, commissioner. Their job was to pick the lucky winner from a box of surveys received.
The winner was LaNora Johnson from Ferron.
They pointed out that although the deadline ran out for the prize drawing, they would still like your input on the survey for the business incubator if you have not yet responded. Cannon said, "We appreciate the response and the effort people have put in."

So now they named him Apocalypse ? I'm seriously starting to doubt those translators. I think that they have changed his name like 4 times by now...
Nice chap. It seems that apocohrypa had something to do with the first akuma x apostole project (was he the one that killed Allen's parents ?). What's more it might have been (I'm not sure about that because of the translation) suggested that there might be more than one Apocrypha or that it is splitted apart among all of the cardinals.
Kanda becoming a general, that's a lovely character progress for most of (at least those that are left) D.Gray-man fans. Still, seeing how easily Apocrypha owned Kanda (who not only is a general material like Allen, but inf act is to become one), it seems that none of the current General can own it. Not to mention that even Cross Marian wasn't able to defeat nor easily avoid it. Seeing as it is a Death God for Noahs, most likely they don't stand much of a chance as well.
So it wasn't a dark matter that destroyed TimCanpy, but a piece of wood ? Could it be a piece of Ydgrasill ?
Good chapter. Glad to see Kanda being promoted to general giving the situation. Am hoping that TimCanpy will reconstructed some how. Now comes another long wait for the next chapter.
Seriously, I was lost for several minutes trying to remember the previous chapter.

Best time to take a vacation to Caribbean
The Caribbean features a tropical climate with sunshine year-round, making a Caribbean vacation worthwhile no matter what time of the year. The region experiences dry and wet seasons, plus much warmer months, so the best time to visit boils down to whether you prefer perfect weather or lower hotel rates.
January to May tend to be drier months, and are more popular with travelers -- especially in January. From early spring through summer, more rain and hotter temperatures (plus cool trade winds) make this an ideal time to find great deals on a Caribbean vacation. Hurricane season officially spans from June through November, and early December is the best time to go for low hotel rates and few crowds.

Skip to comments.Iran Snubs Obama, Turns Down His Offer of Meeting at UN
Posted on 09/24/2013 4:27:33 PM PDT by lbryce
After much speculation about whether President Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani would meet, perhaps photographed shaking hands together, the Islamic Republic was the one that turned down the U.S. president.
Senior administration officials told the White House pool about half an hour ago that the White House had offered to have an encounter on the sidelines of UN General Assembly with Obama and Rouhani, but the Iranians informed the U.S. today that it is too complicated for Iranians to do at this point.
There will be no meeting, one official said, according to the White House pool report. It was clear that it was too complicated for them.
They stressed that Secretary of State John Kerry would press relations with his Iranian counterpart.
Still, officials tried to downplay the snub, saying that they were publicly and privately open to having discussions on the margins of UNGA.
The Iranians have an internal dynamic that they have to manage and the relationship with the United States is clearly quite different than the relationship that Iran has with other Western nations, a senior administration official said.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
I must say, despite my vehemence towards the Mad Mullahs of Mendacity I can't help but enjoy the wry smile Iran has managed to put on my face for giving Obama the rear-ended comeuppance he sorely deserves. Let the b*tt-kicking go on!
Baraq muss gotta damn "kik mee" sign on he back.....
Problem is Obama is making America smaller and smaller and it will be that much harder for the next President to navigate US foreign policy.
ha ha and after all those love letters bozo the clown sent too.
Iran, as well as Europe and the middle east think he;s a massive joke.
Bush was respected and in some places not liked but at least it was respect with power. Bozo is just looked at as an idiot, a clown , a soft little homosexual pusher.
No one respect the clown, not the UK, Germany, Egypt , Syria, Libya north Africa, hell even Brazil has found out he;s a joke.
Let the WH pouting commence. Wonder who Obama will blame this on?
Why would they deal with a self-serving mental lightweight that is nothing more than a lame duck.
I'd diss Zer0 too.
Yeah, where is all of this going to get Hussein in the end?
They just messin wit our boy.
Ain't nothin to it but to do it, holmes.
Well, Iran is Shi'a Muslims and Indonesians are Sunni and there's bad feelings between them.
That's probably all there was to it...
This undoubtedly has the lame-stream media's collective panties in a bunch.
OMG!! AMERICA now has a KICK ME, I'M a 98 POUND WEAKLING sign on our back!!
It's obvious that publicly dissing the President of the United States of America has become the latest thing in international politics.
Maybe it'll go viral on YouTube like Tebowing or Twerking.
Obama can be safely ignored by anyone outside the US. He might stomp his feet and throw a little tantrum but that's as far as it goes.
Any real governor completely disrespects the imbecile in the White House and his staff. The tragic part being they also disrespect a population that would elect such a clown. The latter opinion by world leaders is dangerous.
I really cannot think of any leader of any country (no matter what size) that is not more intelligent and more experienced than our slimy dork-in-chief.
Let us hope that the God that atheists don't believe in (while they're believing in global warming) takes care of the dork in whatever way he sees fit.
How much of this can the fragile ego in the White House
Yet another head fake.
But, but, but, Barry was gonna tell the Iranian president how flexible he can be...
He didn't want to shake hands with a homosexual muslim. It is an offense in Iran punishable by death.
Once Putin pantsed him he was total international toast!
Yes he is, and that is the way wars are started.
Bonus points.
Unfortunately, the Iranian government does not have an unapologetic traitor in office at the moment.
Another cogent point of view.
He, he, tell us what you really think.
Gonna stop the rising of the seas?
Gonna end hate?
Gonna bring us all together?
Gonna do anything? Worthless shoe shine boy?
He did not want to talk with mac daddy because it would be a meeting of two excellent world famous liars.
I suppose nobody told Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that Obama would be happy to bow before him. Maybe even bend over.
Hope you weren't drinking milk as you read this.
Yes, I know. I get much too intense. The utter loathsomeness, contempt I have for him just takes over me.
But no, I was lovin it. You said it with eloquence.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Who's worse? Muzzies in Iran or Hussein? How about both?
Thanks lbryce.
If dems can pull in enough third world 'takers' and pay them off by getting them 'to vote their self interest' they'll run the place forever. We're close to a tipping point.
0bama got punked.

"Very stylish, comfortable & easy to walk in. The strap over the foot really lets you walk fast or go dancing and not worry about the shoe coming off. The nude is a great classic nude, not beige like many nude pumps.Highly Recommend!"

Super comfy right from the box
"These have to be one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've bought in a long time. Nude goes with everything so they will be getting used lots. I have very narrow heals and the ankle strap helped hold my foot in place during hours of dancing."

So, Pontypool…
Yeah, a weird sounding word. Kind of sounds like the brand name of the fictitious chemical you put in a pool to create a cloud of red dye that will identify someone who pees in the pool. "Wanna know who whizzed in the deep end? Use Pontypool! By Johnson and Johnson."
But I'm talking about Pontypool, a zombie horror movie released in 2009 based upon the novel "Pontypool Changes Everything" by Canadian author Tony Burgess. Burgess wrote the screenplay for the movie himself, and according to the film's director Bruce McDonald (a Canadian Director best known for 1996's "Hard Core Logo") the story was adapted from novel to screenplay in less than 48 hours. Pontypool is the name of the fictitious Canadian town in which the events of the book and movie take place. And those events are worth watching, I can't recommend Pontypool enough.
Now you might be saying to yourself "but Jad… ALL zombie movies are exactly the same. A group of characters are the survivors of a zombie apocalypse, get trapped in a building surrounded by zombies, shotgun and chainsaw their way thru zombies, some of them get eaten or turned into zombies, and the main characters either survive or everyone dies. The end."
And while Pontypool begins (after a bizarre, seemingly un-connected nude scene incident) exactly that way, the story goes sideways zonking crazy before anyone can even ask "Where's the chainsaw." If the stereotypical zombie movie is what you are craving (and there's nothing wrong with that) then go check out "28 Days Later" which does the job pretty well. If you want a movie that spoofs the zombie genre, then Edgar Wright's "Shaun of the Dead" will keep you laughing. But if you want to watch something original, well-written, and genuinely creepy… I gotta suggest Pontypool. It would be far too easy to talk about it here and spoil if for you, so I'll just describe my introduction to the film.
I work midnight to 9 AM (I leave right after the Steve and Ted show) and generally go to bed when I get home. However, on Fridays I stay up so I can "turn my weekends back around." So by the time 8 or 9 PM rolls around on a Friday, I'm usually pretty dead tired. But since my friends are "stay up late and party on the weekends" types, I sometimes push past that to hang out with my pals. The Friday (or by then Saturday) I first saw Pontypool, I was just getting to bed at 2 AM Saturday morning when another of my friends called me. He needed a ride from a bar (where he had been working as a bouncer/bartender) and a place to crash for the night. And I'm a guy that'll do most anything for my buddies (no matter how bone weary I might be) so I went and picked him up. We got back to my house just before 3 AM, and he kicked on the TV and brought up Netflix. I figured he'd choose a TV show to watch and I could sit thru one episode and then go to bed. But instead he picked a movie he'd heard good things about. I figured I'd fall asleep after a few minutes…
5:30 AM Saturday morning rolls around (remember, after not having slept since waking up at 10 PM THURSDAY) and I am still GLUED to my chair. Falling asleep was not possible; I NEEDED to keep watching that movie. As far as "scary" goes… it really only qualifies as "creepy." Basically Pontypool evokes the fear of a virulent infection of a type no one has ever seen before (or even theorized could be possible.) But it's fresh and original. Even in a genre as oversaturated as "Zombie horror" Pontypool manages to be totally unlike ANY other zombie movie ever made. And if you don't think it's crazy enough, watch until the end of the credits for an extra scene that totally waves goodbye to any sanity that movie might have had left.
Pontypool stars Stephen McHattie (best known for portraying Hollis Mason in Watchmen, or his role as Elayne's boyfriend Dr. Reston in 4 episodes of Seinfeld) as Grant Mazzy, a Don Imus style morning radio host who had a Don Imus style incident in big market radio and has been banished to Pontypool (the middle of nowhere.) The Zombiepocalypse happens while he is live on the air, and we get to see the story from the backdrop of a radio station as Mazzy keeps Pontypool and the world updated on the bizarre happenings in his little Canadian town.
Yes I know… It happens in a radio station. No wonder it "speaks to me," right? That doesn't mean I'm wrong about the movie though, the setting makes it a great place to infodump the happenings surrounding the movie, and yet maintain a high level of dramatic tension. And it provides a pretty good bunker for the "spam in a can" zombie movie cliché, after all you need at least one zombie movie cliché or you can't really call it a zombie movie.
So that's Pontypool. It got a pretty lukewarm 54 on Metacritic, but there were only a few reviews (it was an independent Canadian release) and the naysayers couldn't have missed the point harder. My suggestion, don't go into it with an idea of an action/horror zombie bloodfest. This is a thinkin' man's zombie movie, available to view if you have a membership on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Otherwise you can download it from Amazon or try to track down a DVD.
Feel free to make a comment about Pontypool below, or just chime in to suggest your own favorite scary bit of entertainment. Next week… a trip to Silent Hill.

Night of the Living Dead and Vampyr
No question on either of those two. Romero's "Dead" series totally defines the zombie genre. And for anyone who is unfamiliar with zombie movies, George Romero's 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" is the natural place to start. It's been a long while since I've seen Vampyr, but for a movie released in 1932 it held up very well 15 or so years ago when I watched it and I don't suspect that has changed any. -- Jad

When Diadora built the X Trail 2 Shoes, it factored only the most important elements into its design. By not adding anything you wouldn't use anyway, the designers created a purposeful shoe that works exactly as it was intended: to comfortably support and protect your feet for all-day riding. Diadora built the shoes around its top-end last using lightweight breathable upper materials. It then mated this to an ultra-stiff composite outsole and threw in a closure system that lets you dial in the perfect fit. In doing so, Diadora created a durable and affordable package that blends the most important qualities we look for into a single pair of shoes.
Diadora built the X Trail 2 Shoes around its Race Shape last. This last shape forms precisely to your foot, combining just the right amount of arch support with forefoot and midfoot hold. Additionally, this design lends itself to securing heel retention as well. This comfortable cradle on the foot is achieved using Diadora's Suprell-Tech and Morpho Cage design. Essentially, this is a leather/polyurethane and lightweight mesh 'space frame' construction that's been designed to support pedaling motions with its ultra-stable and breathable composition. At the heel cup, Diadora designed the X Trail 2 to perfectly contain the rider's foot in its seat by armoring the delicate Achilles tendon with a two-part composition. For structural rigidity, the pre-molded thermoplastic polyurethane heel cup uses a firm composite around the back, with softer and more flexible plastics along the sides.
The closure system incorporates three separate straps that each performs specific retention functions. Across the forefoot, Diadora added its V-Fit hook-and-look strap, allowing you to easily control the volume over the forefoot. Moving up from that is the dual-ring 'Double Speedlace' strap. This is also a hook-and-loop strap, but you get two options for customizable midfoot retention. If your feet are narrow and you have a low arch, use the second ring. Do you have wide feet with a high instep? Take the first ring. In either case, you will be able to get a supportive and comfortable fit that matches your individual foot shape. At the top of the closure, Diadora added its reliable Four Points buckle closure. This durable buckle was manufactured with an aluminum chassis and a large release button that's attached to a strap with four different adjustment positions. Combined with the two lower straps, this EVA-backed top strap provides you with the ultimate customizable retention and support.
Diadora chose to mate the X Trail 2 upper to its Mountain sole. This nylon and glass composite platform keeps weight to a minimum, while maintaining a high level of rigidity for a direct transmission of power to the pedals. The outsole features a dual-density polyurethane Duratech tread that's actually been shaped in mimic of crampons. This sole also adopts Diadora's Multiped, to improve stability and facilitate clipping and unclipping from mountain pedals. Ultimately, this combination of shape and materials creates a tread that's durable, and just as importantly, effectively sheds mud. Hi-Vent insoles complete the X Trail 2 Shoes, giving you maximum support, ventilation, and comfort in all weather conditions.
The Diadora X Trail 2 Shoes are available in odd and even sizes from 38.0 to 48.0 and in the color Anthracite/white.

Compared to two other Bdellium brushed that I tried as well (powder and blush ones from the Travel Line), this one is decent. Adequate length, bristles aren't coarse and no shedding whatsoever. So, if you wanna get to know Bdellium brushes, you can go ahead and try this one.

Para más información, tengo una review extensa hablando de este producto en mi blog.
Muy rigida. Pincha

The 34 shooters shot for fun and money prizes. A drawing was also held for prizes, where everyone participating is entered to win.
The farthest target was 69 yards with the closest 18-20 yards. The 3D targets consist of many different kinds of animals. Each animal has a scoring ring with the smallest circle scoring a 12, the next circle a 10 and the next circle an 8. Five points are scored with a hit anywhere on the body.
The annual 3D shoot is sponsored by the Buckhorn Archers. They also shoot bows through the winter months in the recreation building in Castle Dale. The club is always looking for new members. Contact Randy O'Neil at 384-3393 if you'd like to know more about the club.

: Can you help me please. After building my house 25 years ago, I have had several pin hole leaks in the domestic water copper pipes that lead to and from my boiler (my boiler heats water for the hot water heating system and for domestic hot water). These leaks have all been within 6 feet of the boiler.

: Hardness = 7 gpg
: Iron = 0

: My plumber is recommending a water softener to solve the problem of the pipe leaks. In your experience, could the hardness of the water be causing the pipes to deteriorate to the point that the leaks are occurring? My electrical system is not grounded to the plumbing system.

Shares of online retailer Amazon flirt with a key milestone. Let's take a look at the tech stocks to watch Friday.
Amazon hits $300. The company's stock price briefly reached the $300 mark before quickly dipping back down to $298.63.
Shares of Amazon have surged in the past year, adding nearly $85 in value since hitting a 52-week low of $215.36 on this day a year ago.
The reason for Amazon's latest surge? As USA TODAY's Matt Krantz notes, investors are confident Amazon will reap benefits from a federal judge's ruling that Apple conspired with book publishers to raise the price of e-books.
Nokia down after phone announcement. Shares of the smartphone maker have dropped 1.43%, a day after it unveiled its latest Windows smartphone with an astonishing 41-megapixel camera.
The device will be available for $299.99 starting July 26 exclusively for AT&T's wireless network. The smartphone features a 4.5-inch HD display and a sophisticated camera with Zeiss optics, xenon flash and a manual shutter.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
During Sen. Bennett's Rural Business Conference conducted at the Carbon County Event's Center several Utah counties received a past due payment from the land exchange distribution account.
funds were distributed by Kevin Carter of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration for mineral revenues coming from SITLA. The payments were delivered by hand to: Carbon County - $2,096,614; Emery County - $1,980,520; Kane County - $690,934; Garfield County - $463,724; Sevier County - $411,255; San Juan County -$218,535; Cache County - $91,122; Wayne County - $88,594; Millard County - $68,337; Juab County - 43,480; and Grand County 31,885.
Receiving on behalf of Carbon County was commissioner Bill Krompel, who clarified the point that this payment would not effect the county's payment in lieu of taxes or PILT. Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud was on hand to pick up Emery County's check.
"From now on you will receive your money through the mail or electronically," said Carter. "We won't be tracking you down to deliver the checks by hand but we felt it was important to deliver this years payment by hand here at the conference."
The distribution account was created by the Utah legislature in 2007 to redistribute that part of the mineral lease account that come from state lands acquired from the federal government through federally-legislated land exchanges.
The figures mentioned above represent one half year's earnings for each county.
According to SITLA, when Utah traded out of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument it acquired federal lands with oil, gas and coal resources. At the time of the exchange, federal law provided that 40 percent of mineral revenue from exchange lands would be shared with Utah.
To continue this flow of funds, SITLA agreed to direct half of mineral revenues from exchange lands to the state mineral lease account.
According to Carter, the intent of the exchange agreement was for mineral revenue from exchange lands to flow through the mineral lease account to counties where the mineral were produced. The legislature, however, reallocated portions of these revenues in 1999 to other funds including the Permanent Community Impact Board.
Governor Huntsman's natural resources extraction impact working group recognized that it is legal to send these funds directly to county government, which is not permissible with mineral lease revenues coming from federal lands and recommended the creation of the account to distribute the revenue.
The account distributions allow local governments to decide how best to mitigate adverse impacts attributable to mineral development on exchange lands, without the need for routing the funds through the mineral lease account or other entities.
Furthermore the distribution account representatives sends money back to the counties of extraction to mitigate impacts and sends money to counties which give up trustlands in land exchanges and thereby may lose the opportunity for economic development from said lands.
In Utah, 27 counties receive direct distributions of funds for these purposes.
The 2007 legislature failed through a clerical error to appropriate funds for full distributions of all funds collected by LEDA. The 2008 legislature authorized a supplemental appropriations for all amounts collected in the fiscal year 2008 and fully authorized distributions for fiscal year 2009, according to SITLA.
"The current checks represent slightly more than two quarters of productions. Future distributions will be made quarterly," said Carter.

Wasps cemented their top four spot with an enthralling 33-29 Aviva Premiership win over Gloucester at Adams Park on Sunday.
Wasps cemented their top four spot with an enthralling 33-29 Aviva Premiership win over Gloucester at Adams Park on Sunday.
Two late Gloucester tries earned them a losing bonus point, and led to nervous final phases for Wasps, but the home side clung on for the win, after they had surged well ahead during the second period.
Gloucester arrived at Adams Park buoyed by their win last week at Northampton, and looked to upset Wasps' claims to fourth spot in the Premiership.
Nigel Davies kept faith in the side which had done so well at Franklin's Gardens. Wasps however, were unbeaten at home this season, and boss Dai Young had looked to keep that run going, as the race for the play-off spots heated up.
Young's side have turned around the disappointment of last season to mount a concerted attack on the Aviva Premiership leading group, and after today's win, have dented Glouceter's aims of entering the play-off quartet.
A bright opening by both sides saw Gloucester take a deserved lead as Dan Robson opened the scoring with his first league try for Gloucester, after a great run by Akapusi Qera.
Stephen Jones, returning to the Wasps side at fly-half, took the chance to reduce the gap with a penalty goal, taken well from distance.
Not to be outdone, Ashley Johnson also produced his first try for Wasps, earning his side the lead from a great drive from a line-out maul, a decision that had gone to the TMO.
Gloucester restored parity on half an hour from Cook's penalty goal, as the Cherry and Whites put the Wasps defence under pressure.
Cook missed the chance to give Gloucester the lead minutes before the break with an unlikely attempt from 60 metres, but Jones had no such problem with a penalty in the last play of the half to put the home side back in front at the break by 13-10.
Cook opened the second half as he ended the first, missing a penalty goal attempt, but his captain Mike Tindall took a great line to put his side back in the lead.
Christian Wade took the lead for the home side with a great run down his wing after Billy Vunipola set him off, before the number eight got his second try of the season with a pick and drive for a lead which Gloucester couldn't fully recover.
Ryan Mills and Charlie Sharples pegged back two tries late on, but it was to be Wasps' who earned the winning plaudits in a very entertaining game.

Yoshiaki Hayashi is a model who has walked the runways of Lanvin, Jil Sander, and Damir Doma and regularly graces the pages of one of my favorite magazines Men's Non-No. Yoshi is Japanese and Chilean, and this fascinating combination of ethnicities and his passion for football give him a very striking look and physique. His style is part model-off-duty, part Japanese boy quirky, with a touch of athleticism that makes it all his own.
