OilersNation applies for a $202 million loan
December 14 2007 11:46AM
In an unrelated story to our earlier post about the OilersNation making an offer for the Mighty Oil, two local men have reportedly applied for a $202 million line of credit at ATB this morning.
Bank Manager Spencer Benedict was reached on the phone for comment: "Normally when organizations are seeking a loan of this size, they deal with our commercial department. These two gentlemen came in unannounced and approached a teller in the hopes of receiving this loan. They were able to offer little in terms of collateral, but had a briefcase with them that they indicated we could load the money into."
No final answers have been given by the ATB, but "things are looking really really good" according to one of the men involved.
Try Scotiabank. I use them all the time

Why do you need more for a loan than you are going to pay for the team?

Skip to comments.Obama Health Bill: Those on Social Security - Mandatory Counseling on Asst. Suicide
Posted on 07/17/2009 4:09:12 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
On Page 425 of Obamas health care bill, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes...They are going to push SUICIDE to cut medicare spending!!! And no, I am NOT SHing YOU! So those of you who voted for Obama have now put your own parents in dire straights...Congratulations!
Also, planned denial of medical care for seniors.
Click the source for audio.
Thank you very much!
Normally I woulldn't believe such tripe........ but these ain't normal times.
Oh. Dear. God.
This is frightening.
OMG!!!!!!!!! It isn't like we didn't know this was their agenda, I just didn't think that they would blatantly admit it. I'm not meeting with anyone to discuss anything. They can KMA. They are spoiling for a fight.
This cannot be true of Our Dear Leader - did Jim Thompson plant this story?
All congress critters should also be on SS. In fact, many should already receive counseling on the blessings of suicide.
God forgive us! I am so mad at what voters have done! Here at Free Republic we can say, I told you so...but that is not very rewarding as we are going to suffer right along with the stupid voters that wanted if. Wish congress would wake up before it is to - to late.
If this is on the level, writing your representatives should be to demand 0bama's censure if not impeachment.
Never mind trashing the bill. Trash the freak behind it.
Is there a transcript of the show??/
Will these lawmakers lead by example, or will they be afforded special privileges and separate rules from the people, what with their elite status and all?
Somehow I picture some feisty old people will be giving these counselors a few things to chew on — if they don't knock out the counselor's teeth.
Rebellion is brewing!
The only thing missing from the democrats health plan is experimentation on captive citizens. The more we learn the more it is comparable to Hitler's regime.
Another thread on this topic references a different page of the bill. We should verify this and make sure the references are correct.
By the way, do you have some sort of "problem" with your goverment? Some kind of independent streak?
Do you own guns? Have an "arsenal"? A lot of guns and ammunition or something?
Do you know how outdated all that old thinking is?
Got a big garden, a root cellar? Do you like to grow and can your own food? Make alliances with your neighbors?
Do you get into holistic medicine? Got an old-fashioned General Practitioner town doctor in your life? What's his problem?
Maybe you're an "undesireable" of some kind.
He advocates killing on both ends of the life spectrum
you are now useless eaters, congrats
I'm in!
Pull the plug on Senator KENNOIL
All persons whom we bring to this place are washed clean Winston. The execution of their sentences is relatively unimportant. By the time we are finished with them there is nothing left in them but sorrow for what they have done and love for Big Brother. It is touching to see how they love big brother...., George Orwell, 1984
i don't know but here's her page:
Betsy McCaughey is great. She actually reads these damnable socialized medicine bills. Says that cuts to seniors medical care is 1/2 of the cost of the bill. Every 5 years seniors required to be counseled on how to end their life, and if they get cancer they get counseled again.
you betcha!
It sounds bad, but if it's all the same to you, I would like to see page 425. If it is all the same to you.
Does anyone have a link to this document?
As a senior citizen: if they are going to include denial of medical care for seniors, why would I attend counseling mandatory or otherwise.
If they plan on letting me die (without medical care) anyway, let them pound sand. :-(
"Thou shalt not kill"
Liberals have forgotten or rejected moral truths that were obvious thousands of years ago. We need to pray for their enlightenment ... and fight to defeat their evil.
BOHICA taken to the terminus.
This makes me sick to my stomach. My GOD what is happening to our country? Every day of life is precious for everyone from conception to old age. These people are truly monsters and I hate the people that voted for this evil man. This cannot end well. We are in for some really scary times. I am losing all hope. I didn't think I was capable of the hate I feel for these evil people.
This is simply outrageous and an affront to morality and common decency.
Thanks Jim and keep up the great work.
it's only been 6 months ...what will be in store for the next 3 1/2 years?
Re: "Somehow I picture some feisty old people will be giving these counselors a few things to chew on if they dont knock out the counselors teeth"
Oh, that is so true — it won't matter HOW the feisty seniors voted in earlier times, if anyone dares suggest they just give up a la "Obamacare" they will throw huge fits, sometimes violently! I've seen it in my own family.
If you really cared about your grandchildren, you wouldn't be soaking up all these medical resources that could go to them. LOL
We are crossing the line ...
0bama is vile and evil.
I am 62 and my widowed mother is 83. This pretty much crosses my line in the sand.

I'm on Social Security. I'm sure I'll be one of those "counseled" since I'm not worth the money spent on me. Just a drag on society...
Thanks for making my life feel worthwhile Obama! Thanks a whole bunch!
Kiss my ass too!!
LOL that's a tagline.
Listen to Betsy McCoughey who was lieutenant governor of NY under Gov. Pataki. She is a medical doctor.
My theory is they are throwing in some raw meat for the moderates to object to which they will then withdraw to show how 'reasonable' they are. They don't intend to include such nonsense in Phase 1. No - that will be in next years bill when it will be easier to slide in all the 'extras'.

Mix-up sends Southern California seniors to event all dressed up a week early.
Imagine your school rescheduling the senior prom and not telling anyone.
Saturday night in Southern California, imagination gave way to reality, which quickly turned into a nightmare for the 400 Bloomington High School students who arrived all dressed up for what they thought was The Big Night.
They were a week early.
Why the major fail? Miscommunication between the school and the event planner, according to news reports from the Inland Empire.
Though the school's invitations said April 27, the prom venue, Santa Anita Park, told students their night in the Chandelier Room was actually booked for May 5.
"We thought it was a joke: 'OK, that's not funny,' " student Selena Reyes told KABC-TV after she and classmates were told initially to go home and come back this Saturday.
The venue, a famous horse-racing track in with banquet facilities, then scrambled to put together a make-shift party for those who stayed — with a DJ and chicken strips.
They were the most expensive chicken strips — cold, according to one mother — the students would probably ever eat.
"On my tux, I spent like $200 I think, and it was just a rental so I had to take it back the next day," Michael Lupo told KCBS-TV.
Besides $100 tickets, students (and parents) spent bundles on dresses, shoes, corsages, photographs, limos, party buses and all the usual solid and liquid prom trimmings.
The stunned principal, Ignacio Cabrera, is taking responsibility.
"I've been the principal here for 13 years, and I've never had this happen before," he sid.
A semi-formal "make-up" prom is in the works for May 18.

Great Shoe for Special Event
"I picked up these sandals for my brother's wedding. I love that the staps aren't too narrow so that they don't cut into my feet. I typically wear 9.5 and these are true to size. The heel is higher which is my preference, but even to someone who doesn't like heels, they are comfortable and give when broken in some. I just popped a preemptive band-aid on the areas that seemed like them were going to rub and that helped soften the material and I avoided blistering."

RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE ECONOMICS OF CORPORATE LAW, Claire Hill, Brett McDonnell, eds., Edward Elgar, 2011-2012
This chapter, from the forthcoming Research Handbook on the Economics of Corporate Law, examines the influence of the law and economics movement on takeover theory.
Beginning in 1965 with Henry Manne's famous theory of the market for corporate control and ending with the 2011 decision in Air Products v. Airgas, this chapter is an intellectual history of the law and economics field as applied to takeovers. It is also about possible new directions and topics for this field and its future use in structuring and analyzing takeover theory.

The following information on tornadoes is taken from the FEMA website at www.fema.gov/hazard/tornado/index.shtm.
Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this hazard.
Some tornadoes are clearly visible, while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others. Occasionally, tornadoes develop so rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is possible.
Before a tornado hits, the wind may die down and the air may become very still. A cloud of debris can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel is not visible. Tornadoes generally occur near the trailing edge of a thunderstorm. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado.
Here are a couple of facts about tornadoes:
- Tornadoes are most frequently reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.
- Peak tornado season in the southern states is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer.
- Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., but can occur at any time.
- A Tornado Watch means that tornadoes are possible and you should remain alert for approaching storms. Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information.
- A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. You should take shelter immediately.
Before a Tornado - How to Plan
You should conduct tornado drills each tornado season. Designate an area in the home as a shelter, and practice having everyone in the family go there in response to a tornado threat. Discuss with family members the difference between a "tornado watch" and a "tornado warning."
Have the following disaster supplies on hand:
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries
- First aid kit and manual
- Emergency food and water
- Non-electric can opener
- Essential medicines
- Cash and credit cards
- Sturdy shoes
Katio® Voyager™
You should also develop an emergency communication plan in case family members are separated from one another during a tornado (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school). Have a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
What to Do During a Tornado
If at home:
- If you have a tornado safe room or engineered shelter, go there immediately.
- Go at once to a windowless, interior room; storm cellar; basement; or lowest level of the building.
- If there is no basement, go to an inner hallway or a smaller inner room without windows, such as a bathroom or closet.
- Get away from the windows.
- Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.
- Use arms to protect head and neck.
- If in a mobile home, get out and find shelter elsewhere.
If at work or school:
- Go to the area designated in your tornado plan.
- Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls.
- Get under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a workbench or heavy table or desk and hold on to it.
- Use arms to protect head and neck.
If outdoors:
- If possible, get inside a building.
- If shelter is not available or there is no time to get indoors, lie in a ditch or low-lying area or crouch near a strong building. Be aware of the potential for flooding.
- Use arms to protect head and neck.
If in a car:
- Never try to out-drive a tornado in a car or truck.
- Get out of the car immediately and take shelter in a nearby building.
- If there is no time to get indoors, get out of the car and lie in a ditch or low-lying area away from the vehicle. Be aware of the potential for flooding.
After a Tornado
- Help injured or trapped persons.
- Give first aid when appropriate.
- Don't try to move the seriously injured unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
- Call for help.
- If you smell gas, do not turn on any appliances or switches. This includes using phones, flashlights or a cell phone.
- Turn on the radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
- Stay out of damaged buildings. Return home only when authorities say it is safe.
- Use the telephone only for emergency calls.
- Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, or gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the buildings if you smell gas or chemical fumes.
- Take pictures of the damage--both to the house and its contents--for insurance purposes.
Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
When a tornado is coming, you have only a short amount of time to make life-or-death decisions. Advance planning and quick response are the keys to surviving a tornado.

Hot Harry on a Horse this weekend at a polo match with his brother. For some reason while they were stretching, Hot Harry, the eternal f-ck up, decided to get his groove on. What do you think of his moves? Kinda like Porny Simpson? Side by side…it's almost the same!
These boys look great in white pants. It's not easy. But am mildly concerned about Hot Harry's gut. Optical illusion?
Also – Kate Middleton, still William's girlfriend, and a rare display of affection. This for royals is akin to having his tongue down her throat.

Gossip Girl star and rocker Taylor Momsen hosted the Victoria's Secret launch of its new fragrance Love Rocks Thursday at a Victoria's Secret store in New York City.
The new fragrance with its red box and rocker looks is supposed to be equal parts of "hopeless romantic and untamed rebel."
Taylor Momsen fits well to host this event with her romantic-looking white slip dress rocked up with Taylor's extra-heavy eye makeup. While Taylor may play an Queen Bee wanna be on Gossip Girl, in her free time she enjoys performing in her rock band The Pretty Reckless.
Love Rocks! scent is packaged as vivid plum, hypnotic violet and sensual vanilla. The package is a bold red lacquer bottle with tattoo-inspired graphics.
If you try the new fragance, let me know what you think.

You've got your travel mugs and your reusable shopping bags. How about a bamboo utensil set to round out the perfect toolkit for life on the go? A handy carabiner on the back lets you clip and carry a fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks wherever they may roam. Perfect for a busy lifestyle and our precious planet. RePEaT utensil holders give plastic bottles a second shot at a useful life – and an opportunity to stay out of landfills. Made out of RPET (recycled PET plastic), To-Go Ware likes to call it "RePEaT" because it lets plastic reincarnate into something kinder and gentler. Bamboo Flatware & Chopsticks Heat and stain resistant, won't impart or absorb flavors Lightweight, strong and long lasting Hand finished with top grade natural, food-safe wood oil About To-Go Ware's Bamboo Utensils How do I clean my utensils? You can hand wash them with soap and water, but they will sustain the dishwasher. Why bamboo? There are so many great reasons to choose bamboo. First, it's beautiful. The delicate grain of bamboo, whether natural or amber-toned, makes it distinctive, refined, and enjoyable to eat with. Bamboo is extremely durable and can withstand a great deal of use without damage. It's stronger even than oak, and when laminated, bamboo is nearly as strong as soft steel. Bamboo doesn't swell or shrink as hardwoods do, and won't impart food flavors or staining. Bamboo is not a tree, it's a grass, and it grows like one. Many species of bamboo can grow two feet or more a day. When it's harvested, it need not be replanted, because it will grow a new shoot from its extensive root system. So bamboo renews itself readily, unlike hardwood trees, which, once cut, are gone forever. Bamboo is an endlessly renewable resource. It enhances the environment. Farmed bamboo stabilizes the earth with its roots, preventing erosion. It takes in greenhouse gasses and produces oxygen. In fact 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. It can also provide habitat for birds and animals. It is extremely versatile. Used in everything from housing, to fiber, to food, bamboo is an extraordinary resource. It provides a long-lasting, non-petroleum based material that has endless applications for use. Where are your utensils made? To-Go Ware's bamboo utensils are sourced and made in China by a small cottage industry factory. The forest the bamboo is sourced from has been personally visited by their third party certifier and their audits assure them that the sourcing and harvesting is sustainable and that they employ fair labor practices. Are the utensils made with glue? No, To-Go Ware's utensils are made of a single sheet of bamboo. There are over 1,000 species of bamboo, ranging from groundcover to giant bamboo. Specifically, there are two main types of bamboo, running (spreading) and clumping (non-spreading). The clumping bamboo is the larger of the two, and at the very least can have a stalk 4 1/2" in diameter, and this is the kind of bamboo used to make their utensils. To-Go Ware does not use the smaller bamboo so often found in indoor planters. What is the finish on the bamboo utensils made of? To-Go Ware uses a top grade, natural, vegan, food-safe sealant on the utensils to further ensure their durability. The main ingredients in the sealant include Potassium Permanganate (a water-soluble salt, often used as a disinfectant); Acetic Acid (an organic, relatively weak acid that gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell, found universally in food stuffs, water and soil); Heptane (most frequently used an an oil repellant, distilled from the resin of the Jeffery Pine and the fruit of the Petroleum Nut Tree, a tree found in the Philippines); and Ethanol (sugar-based and most commonly used form of alcohol, used as a solvent of substances intended for human contact or consumption, including scents, flavorings, colorings and medicines). Recent lab tests have shown that NO heavy metals were detected in the sealant, including lead, arsenic, mercury or chromium. Can I take my utensils on a plane when I travel? Yes, you can! No one carrying To-Go Ware has ever had a problem traveling with their gear. In fact their founder traveled with 50 sets of utensils in her suitcase and the only thing that got pulled was her shampoo! About Bamboo Utensil Wraps How do I clean my wrap? The WEAVE cotton wrap will sustain the washing machine and the CONSERVE and RePEaT recycled plastic wraps can be hand washed with a wet sponge. Where are WEAVE utensil wraps made? The cotton holders for their utensil sets are crafted by WEAVE, a Burmese refugee women's project on the Thai-Burma border; all materials are sourced from Thailand. The recycled plastic wraps are made by CONSERVE, an NGO in New Delhi, India. The RePEaT utensil wraps are made of RPET, recycled plastic bottles, in China. All of their partners are regularly monitored for human rights and environmental abuses by an independent third party monitor, in addition to a supplemental audit they've added with some additional standards they feel are important. To-Go Ware are proud of the protections provided by all of their partners to their employees and the Earth. What are CONSERVE wraps made of? At dawn every day employees deliver plastic shopping bags they've collected off the streets of New Delhi to the CONSERVE headquarters. The handles and bottoms of the plastic bags are snipped away and the open sheets washed with detergent on a cemented buffalo water trough. They are hung to dry on a clothesline and then layered together and pressed to make sheets that are designed, cut and stitched to make amazing, durable, environmentally friendly, recycled plastic products! What are RePEaT wraps made of? The material for their RePEaT utensils is made of RPET, recycled plastic bottles. Plastic soda and water bottles that would otherwise end up in the landfills are given a second shot at a useful life by being recycled into this amazingly strong, color-fast and water-resistant utensil holder. An added plus for RePEaT wraps is that the recycled material requires less energy during manufacturing than virgin PET materials. How big are the wraps? CONSERVE is 12" high, 8 ¼" wide (when open) and 4 ½" wide securely closed. WEAVE is 12 ¼" high, 8 ¼" wide (when open) and 4 ½" wide securely closed. RePEaT is 8 1/2" high and 1 5/8" wide. About the CONSERVE Program CONSERVE is a recycling and waste management NGO (non-governmental organization) that was founded in October 2003 in response to the mountains of garbage and litter, especially plastic bags that had become a common sight around the city of New Delhi. The project employs poor urban women and men in the slums of east Delhi to collect, sort, weigh and clean plastic bags. Through a heating and pressing process, the plastic melts together creating a thicker more durable plastic material. Since the plastic bags come in all colors, different designs can be created using strips and cutouts of bags, no dyes or inks are required. Founded by Anita Ahuja and her husband Shalabh, the team started a non-government, non-profit organization explaining how waste could be segregated and turned into a resource. Wet kitchen waste could be turned into compost; dry waste like paper and glass could be recycled. It was while segregating the waste that they encountered their most important challenge. "To-Go Ware had heard of organizations working with zero waste- it was something they could not understand. Despite their best efforts there was nothing they could do with the mounds of discarded plastic bags. The resale value of polythene is very low, so we started to experiment." That proved to be the turning point. They washed the plastic bags, braided, rolled them and made them into tiny baskets. But it involved a lot of work, and the couple didn't see a market for their products. Still, it forced them to work harder to find a solution for the mounds of discarded plastic bags. Finally, they hit upon the idea of washing, drying and pressing the plastic into sheets, using a pressing machine. The result: they came up with small plastic sheets, roughly 12" by 7". It was the breakthrough they had all been waiting for. From here on it was left to everyone's imagination, and they eventually started a line of handbags and accessories fashioned out of the recycled material. The couple then decided to also work with rag-pickers in Madhuban. "The rag-pickers are the most marginalized section of their society . . . they should be allowed to live with dignity and given the opportunity to make a good life." At dawn every day the rag-pickers deliver the recycled plastic shopping bags to the non-profits headquarters. The handles and bottoms of the plastic bags are snipped away and the open sheets washed with detergent on a cemented buffalo water trough. They are hung to dry on a clothesline and then layered together and pressed to make sheets that are designed, cut and stitched to make the amazing, environmentally friendly and ethical bags. The non-profit NGO currently employs over 300 people and exports bags all over the world, they use the money made from the sale of the bags to fund projects to help the rag-pickers and other marginalized sections of their community, such as building schools and employing more individuals. About WEAVE WEAVE Women's Education for Advancement and Empowerment (WEAVE) strives to create a world where empowered women and their children are free to exercise their rights and live peacefully in a just, humane and equitable society. The organization was founded in 1990, with the intent to empower indigenous women and support their needs and basic human rights. The organization has evolved over the years, especially in the context of the influx of refugees from Burma. One manner in which they seek this is through cottage industry, and WEAVE has produced a high-quality line of crafts that are produced by Burmese refugee women living in camps along the border. WEAVE's goals are to provide education and training for displaced women and children from Burma and its bordering areas. They aim to foster the development of self-managing and self-sustaining women's organizations and community based projects, and to raise the level of awareness of issues affecting displaced women and children from Burma and its bordering areas in partnership with women's organizations. WEAVE's target communities are displaced persons, particularly women, recognizing their role in providing for their families and in ensuring the well-being of their children. Their work rives has expanded to include the Indo-China-Burma border, but mainly concentrates along the Thai-Burma border. WEAVE is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. About Fair Trade Fair trade means an equitable and fair partnership between businesses and organizations in the developed world and producers in the developing world. Fair trade businesses foster long-term and direct relationships with producers, because To-Go Ware knows these connections are a highly effective way to help producers help themselves. Paying fair wages in local context Supporting participatory workplaces Ensuring environmental sustainability Supplying financial and technical support Respecting cultural identity Offering public accountability Educating consumers To-Go Ware's Mission To-Go Ware's mission is to make available innovative products that provide a solution, tell a great story, and are enjoyable to use. To-Go Ware seeks to stimulate positive practices for the way people live in relationship with themselves, their neighbors and the planet. To-Go Ware hopes to empower people to participate in the process of changing the world they live in by providing them the tools to do so. To-Go Ware offers solutions for a world with life on-the-go. Life is moving fast for everyone these days, and sometimes that can cause them difficulty in making conscious lifestyle choices-especially when it comes to food! With the explosion of "to-go" culture, there is no shortage of disposable containers and utensils crossing their paths everywhere they go, and they've all started to feed the landfill more than they may realize. How many plastic forks and spoons do they toss away each week? How many plates, to-go boxes, napkins and cups? Start to do the math and see what that adds up to per year-you may be surprised at the impact you are having. If we cannot abandon our need for "to-go" convenience as we move through our busy lives, we can certainly integrate ways of being more mindful and conscious of the impact our lifestyle has upon the planet. To-Go Ware hopes that they can provide you the tools to make that difference, allowing you to be a Solutionary in these to-go times. As a business, To-Go Ware seeks to implement a triple bottom line — people, planet and profit — in meaningful and sincere ways. To-Go Ware is very proud of the practices they've been able to implement in order to realize this vision. To-Go Ware understands the interconnected and interdependent issues of social, economic and environmental justice - this understanding guides all of their business decisions. To-Go Ware seeks to continually examine the resources and privileges they have as a company operating in the Global North and how their business practices impact the lives of people around the world. To-Go Ware is committed to creating equitable and respectful business relationships with companies locally and abroad. To-Go Ware gives preference to business partnerships with companies owned and operated by women or other traditionally marginalized groups, as well as small businesses. Additionally, they believe in and support the Principles of Environmental Justice adopted by the delegates to the First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit (1991), as well as the Bali Principles of Climate Justice developed by an international coalition of groups gathered in Johannesburg for the Earth Summit (2002).

Niall O'Connor's late penalty denied Glasgow a vital PRO12 victory over Connacht as honours were shared 13-13 at the Sportsground.
A last-minute penalty from Niall O'Connor denied Glasgow a key PRO12 victory over Connacht as honours were shared 13-13 at the Sportsground on Saturday.
Glasgow opened up a 7-3 half-time lead with a converted try from Jon Welsh with O'Connor responding for the hosts.
The hosts hit back in the second period and, after Ruaridh Jackson had extended the Warriors' lead, Tiernan O'Halloran crossed the whitewash.
Substitute Duncan Weir put the visitors back into the lead before O'Connor rescued the two points and end their nine-game RaboDirect Pro12 losing streak.
Connacht went into the game on horrific run and O'Connor was struggling to relieve that pressure with two penalty opportunities going begging in the early stages.
In what was a scrappy and tense opening period, the Irish province were made to pay for those missed chances when Warriors' prop Welsh barged over. Jackson converted but Glasgow were unable to press home their advantage and Connacht, to their credit, hit back just before the interval.
Their fly-half, having skewed two earlier kicks, was on target with his third, but it was the visitors who led, 7-3, at the break.
The second half followed much the same pattern with mistakes and stout defence dominating play.
However, Jackson broke the resistance with his second three-pointer for the visitors. But when winger Tommy Seymour was sin-binned for the Warriors, O'Halloran touched down from a cross-field kick. O'Connor added the conversion to level the scores at 10-10 with 15 minutes to play, before Weir and the Connacht fly-half traded late penalties.
The scorers:
For Connacht:
Tries: O'Halloran
Con: O'Connor
Pen: O'Connor 2
For Glasgow:
Tries: Welsh
Con: Jackson

Great sandals!
"Adorable, simple yet chic sandals! Got these in 6W and the width was perfect. The straps in the middle are a little short and tight though so it does hurt after a lot of walking but every where else on the shoe fits great. There's also not much padding for the shoe but the heel isn't too high so it's comfortable enough."

This is Issac Newton. In addition to discovering gravity, he developed quadratic equations and famously invented the number '3.' "It was an obvious thing to do" he would later explain, "there was such a big opportunity between 2 and 4. It was only a matter of time between someone closed the gap."
Much like Newton, the Nation Network has also advanced Science by 100 years - bringing leading salary website NHLnumbers.com into the fold.
NHLnumbers.com is a leading salary resource website, curated expertly by a mysteriously anonymous Calgary engineer. For years he has prided himself on maintaining some of the most accurate salary information available. "How much did Andrew Ebbett in Phoenix make last Tuesday night?" you have wondered.
This guy just knows it off the top of his head. For everyone in the league. And so a few years back he put his passion onto the interwebs for all to enjoy, building NHLnumbers.com into one of the best salary sites around.
Citizen Alpha and Pokey K have been busy rebuilding NHLNumbers.com and giving it a sexy new look. This is the first stage of three that is going to include expanding its utility to include player statistics and finally including the advanced analytics that are so popular with the mathematical set these days.
It's time this knowledge is dragged out into the light of day and the rest of us can benefit from it's advanced learnery. In the meantime the size and reach of NHLNumbers.com will allow us to trick more and more readers onto the Network.
As readership grows, Canadian workplace productivity declines until we are left with a squeeing mass of people ready to drop the mitts at the mere mention of cheerleaders in an NHL building.
And then we will consider this a job well done.
And have considered this update a waste of your time, may we present a video of cats meowing incessantly.
Aren't they cute?
Just. Too. Sweeeeeeeeeet.

Isn't it odd that the Flames have nearly $12 million sitting in the press box? I smell a trade brewing!
Tonights the night. Hall's first goal. Any chance the Flames dress the punching bag ? Rene is on fire and I have to say I always liked his style. This is go great for the Nation thanks again Wayne
October 26 2010, 09:46AM
I think Flames Nation is hands down the best source for Calgary Flames information, thanks for doing such a great job! My only request is on FGD, could you put the predicted lines and D pairings of the opposition? Having nhlnumbers.com is going to make the site better!

Why yes, that was this former A list celebrity doing line after line of coke Friday night in Kentucky until about two hours before her call time
. Why yes, an entire bottle of Visene was used on her eyes.
Chelsea Handler…less she still a list ..if so..

Horses are doing coke before their races?!?! Looks like the Secretariat has a new home! Lol. I agree. Well played, sandy. I think this is Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski. It has to be someone that hosted or performed hence "call time." SUSPECT #1ReplyCancel
@Sandy—yeah no shame in my game. I have uh eclectic taste. Taylor Dane reminds me of like grocery shopping with my mom when I was a child…ReplyCancel
Hmmm…maybe somebody who was on one of the morning news shows?ReplyCancel
I like Taylor Dayne too. Saw her in concert at Hamilton Place a few years ago. Let's just say it was not a sell out crowd. Maybe the first 10 rows had some people sitting there, but the rest of the concert hall was empty. But guess what? Even though she probably took a big loss of money, she still did her concert for those 100 or so fans that bought tickets. She even tried to make light about the empty hall, and said she hoped that we would enjoy her show and then tell our friends and they would tell 2 friends and maybe next time she could perform for more people. She then proceeded to give a kick ass concert that was probably more relaxed than it would have been had the hall been full. She got my respect that night because she didn't cut her losses to save money, and just went ahead with the show. Loved her ever since.ReplyCancel

As a stoner: if I use the original Visine too often I develop a resistance to it and it stops working as well at reducing redness. Homegirl, should invest in the much stronger Visine Allergy.ReplyCancel
I have cases of Visine Allergy here. I don't drink or do drugs, I just have horrible allergies and this time of year kills me. Right now my eyes look like a bad special effect and that I've been punched in both eyes repeatedly.ReplyCancel
Visine – Carmex for your eyes!ReplyCancel
..& didn't taylor dayne go thru a serious illness w/an amazingly inspirational attitude..Why do I remember feeling like a petty ass about something I was upset about & then hearing her talk about what she was battling on Oprah or sumthin'-wasn't that she?? im too tired to look it up.ReplyCancel

The heel is very comfortable; however, I experienced some irritation with the toe of the shoe, since it is narrow and I also had ordered my regular size.

An Idaho mechanic made an unexpected discovery while working on an elderly woman's car last week when he found a pound of cocaine hidden under the hood.
The Idaho Falls service shop employee made the discovery Tuesday, when he was servicing a vehicle belonging to an 82-year-old woman, Idaho Falls chief of police Steve Roos said this week. The cocaine -- 1.16 pounds with a street value of more than $40,000 dollars -- was found hidden inside the engine compartment.
According to Roos, the drugs were found in a package that was wrapped in black electrical tape and hidden by the radiator. Police field tested the substance and confirmed it was cocaine.
Investigators do not suspect the woman, who has owned the car for about 11 years, was aware the drugs were in the vehicle. Roos said they suspect the drugs were placed there by an unknown person prior to her purchase of the vehicle, which was a former rental car.

Chapter Thirteen: The Ice Cave
My heart broke then, watching her pace back and forth across the icy, pebble-strewn floor of the cave. She shouldn't be confined here--forced to live out a solitary, shamed existence among the barren and blasted landscape of the frozen Himilayas. That she thought no one would ever love her, that she doubted even I loved her, was so wrong it'd be laughable if it weren't so heartbreaking.
I stood, putting my hand on her furry knee--the highest spot I could reach on her gargantuan, indescribably beautiful body--to calm her. "Listen, me heart." I choked back tears, gazing up (and up and up and up) into her eyes, chocolate brown pieces of her sweet, tender soul, eyes that held me captivated since the first time I saw them. How had I ever lived without those eyes? "Come away with me. Ye doona have to live here, alone. I love ye! I always will. I doona care if yer a Yeti and I'm a leprechaun. Why can't our cultures and myths mix? Please, come away with me, love!"
Her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and my breath caught in my chest. She shook her head, silky white fur waving from side to side. I longed to run my fingers through it, get lost in the luxurious lengths of her snowy down. She knelt down so we were closer to eye level.
"No! No, don't ye ever say that again! I love ye more than any pot o' gold in the whole world! I've already given up me rainbow for ye, and I'd sacrifice every rainbow on this whole forsaken planet if it meant just one minute--just one minute more with ye!"
We both let out a sob as she reached down with her fantastically muscled arms and crushed me to her in a hug. I nestled into her fur, wanting to be closer, closer, always closer to her, breathing in her sweet, icy musk. Except it was kinda hard to breathe. Okay, really hard to breathe.

I think it's the dialogue which really transports the story to such dizzying romantic heights. You're really treading in Shakespeare's shadow with this, Kiersten.

Kiersten, I'm sorry everyone thinks your writing is a joke. I, for one, am immensely inspired. Maybe another excerpt might include the steamy love affair between me and Laptop? I dare anyone to laugh at such a deep, rich, love as ours.

I probably going to repeat a lot of what has already been said, but I'll go for it anyway.
If that was you spending three minutes writing a single chapter...I want your talent and I want it now.
Second, you do realize that this now means that you actually have to write the Leprechaun/Yeti/Sasquatch novel. I know at least 400 people that would dying to read it just like we're dying to read Paranormalcy (I think I spelled that right), and it would be a fabulous blogvel and probably wouldn't be too bad of an exercise when the dreaded WB rears its ugly head.
Anyway, I want more NOW!!!

That was bizarre and funny. I'm sure you could make it work in a real story, though. (Is it bad that I picture Mr. Scott as the leprechaun in his red Star Trek jersey?)

Good god! Since I follow your blog in a reader, I read this post before your "What NOT to write" one and, like Abby, thought this was real.
I had a moment of glee, where I thought, "Yes! If this is the kind of stuff a published writer writes, then I'll be fine!"

This squishy, little, green caterpillar looks pretty darn cute (and has a strong resemblance to a certain Pokemon), but some might put him in the "creepy-crawly" category. What do you squeeps think, is this bug creepy or cute?

Nerd Lunch Podcast 20: Movie Sequels

Sequels that were = to the original in my opinion that you guys didn't discuss:
Problem Child 2
Ninja Turtles 2 Secret of the Ooze
Mighty Ducks 2
All seem to be geared towards kids but thats what i thought of

I have to confess my ignorance about all three franchises. I have seen the first Ninja Turtles movie many years ago, but have not seen the second or third ones. I should rectify that.
I have never seen Problem Child or Mighty Ducks movies. That could be a huge oversight on my part.

Great episode. My favorite sequels would have to be Star Trek II, T2 and Empire Strikes Back. one movie they didn't do a sequel for was 'Forest Gump', although they did do a book sequel to the original Forest Gump book. My Mom read 'Gump & Co' right after it was released and she said it was terrible, which explains why it was never developed into a movie. It's a shame they messed up when making the 'Matrix' sequels, although 'Reloaded' had some good parts to it, 'Revolutions' royally sucked.

Finally getting caught up with your podcasts guys - you guys do know there is a Red Dawn Reboot coming out this year, right? It sounded like you didn't. Maybe you did, forgive me if that is the case.
Google Red Dawn 2012.

I did know about the Red Dawn remake and feel like I was going to mention it but don't recall now why I didn't. It has Chris Hemsworth in it so I'm moderately interested in spite of its sacred ground.
However, what I am even more interested in is it to finally come out so they can maybe decide to release the original on Blu-ray.
Thanks for stopping by. And for anyone else who happens to stop by this comment page, check out the Gone But Not Forgotten Groceries page. It's purty cool.
