Once you start making excuses and rationalizing, it's easier to do it the next time...
Don't stand up on National TV talking tough if you are going to fold like a cheap suit. Just go ahead and fold right from the start.
By the way... Pres Bush... He's been retired for going on five years. Rove? Who cares about him? What good did his PAC do during the election...
Easy easy, pump the brakes. Aren't you the ones that supported Romney and rationalized like it was your patriotic duty a few months ago. Sort of the pot calling the kettle black. I mentioned rove and bush because hagel went against the republican establishment and they did not forget. We all make excuses for folks we want to like. I could make more to rationalize this but it is worthless. I still think this is a non issue.
And don't quote Aaron Tippin to a guy who lives in the area he was born and raised, its kinda insulting:D
Rand was the most outspoken member of the Senate to speak out against the sale of F16's and Abaram tanks to Egypt. A move supported by the military contractors lobbyist and the Congressmen that they own in both Parties!
Maybe, but it reminded me of tippin playing his guitar with his mullet and trash stache, see below
Haha, yeah i remembered you had roots around here. I live my life by WWTD, what would tippin do?

Gospel Reading

17th Saturday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Luke 17:3-10
The Lord said, "Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him; and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive him." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. Will any one of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table?'" Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and gird yourself and serve me, till I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?' Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'"

The Emery County Business Chamber hosted the July lunch and learn and the topic was customer service. ECBC president Tyler Jeffs introduced Candide Lopez from California as the featured speaker and she gave many helpful suggestions to local business owners and attendees.
Drew LeRoy from Food Ranch was the local business highlight for the month.
Lopez asked where are you with your business? What do your employees know about customer service? Do they know how to keep customers coming back? How do you take adequate customer service to the next level and make it better? Lopez talked about customer relationship management. She said some companies make a living selling software to tell you how to manage your customers. You must learn to understand your customer. "View your customers as guests and gear your efforts to seeing the customers as a guest. Losing one customer can cost you a lot of money. It can put you out of business. Sixty percent of entrepreneurs hold their business back from going to the next level. Customers are sometimes willing to pay higher prices to get guest treatment. How can your business not just survive, but thrive. Even thrive globally. Don't become casual with steady customers. Don't become too comfortable with loyal customers. Make sure the customers are important to you," said Lopez.
Lopez told an example of when customers might become complacent. At a store then every time the customer paid their bill, they were handed a dollar. This happened several times. Then one day the business didn't give out the dollars. The customer said, 'I want my dollar.'
"The customers are not willing to settle for the same thing. Customers will always want more. Never assume you've met your customer's expectations. Are you serving to that level. Customers should never know you're having a bad day. Never be late, open your business on time. Don't close early always be on time for appointments. The minimum operating level is to be on time. Be early. Show your customers they are important. Be where you said you're going to be. Always be respectful. Converse with your customers.
"Customer service is an attitude. When you go to In and Out Burger you know you're going to be greeted. At Nordstrom's you will always be treated professionally. Whether your business is one person or a thousand, always be professional. Be polished," said Lopez.
She told of her company in California that grew 20 percent each year. They were at the right place at the right time, but they provided their customers with a quality competitive product.
"Keep your building neat and clean. Be considerate of your customers. Honor contracts, honor warranties. Be trustworthy, you will go out of business if you are not. What do you see your business as? Be a world class quality employee. In a business your weakest link is your weakest employee. In Emery County you are only as strong as your weakest business. Be professional be polite," said Lopez.
Speaking of Nordstrom's, Lopez told the story of a friend who went to Nordstroms for two suits that he needed for a business trip to France. When he went to pick up the suits, they weren't ready. Needless to say the friend was irate. He left for France without the suits. Upon his arrival at his hotel in France, the suits had arrived before him along with four shirts and ties which he hadn't ordered and an apology letter for not having the suits ready on time for him. "Businesses with customer service like that, thrive. Again, your business is only as good as your weakest employee. People want to know they can count on the same thing, same service every time. Like In and Out burger, it's the same quality every time. The same product. People put their trust in you to get the same quality each time.
"We need to be consistent and to constantly improve. Look for ways to change and grow. Hold yourself and your employees to a customer service protocol. Continuously improve, don't grow stagnant. Be excellent, not just acceptable. Are your employees, excellent to your customers. It's the little things that make a big difference. What is your legacy? Where do you want to see your business in five or 10 years. Where do you want to see Emery County in five or 10 years. Why do you have a business? Is it just to pay the bills, or do you want to contribute to the community? Do you want that business to grow and thrive. What is your legacy? Know your goals. There is no difference between the business. The difference is you. What do you want out of your business. What is your legacy as a business owner. What are your goals. Have a business plan. Who will take over your business when you die or retire. Have a succession plan for your business. How does your business affect Emery County as a whole. Are you doing business for the community. Having a succession plan is good customer service and community service," said Lopez.
Lopez encouraged business owners to get out and visit other businesses to see how they do business. Learn from other businesses.
Jeffs held the monthly drawing and this month's winner was Heidi Migliori for a $25 gift certificate to Food Ranch.
The next Lunch and Learn will be the Emery County Business Chamber economic summit on Sept. 21. It will begin at the Museum of the San Rafael with breakfast speakers at 8 a.m. There will be two break-out sessions and the two lunch speakers will be Marshall Moore and David Williams from the film and tourist industry. Plan now to attend this event. More information will be forthcoming. The former owner of Fackler Tire will talk about family businesses. Chris Redgrave from Zions Bank will speak on business. If you would like to become involved in the planning of the summit or to register call the Emery County Progress office at 381-2431.

Posted on 10/31/2001 11:42:23 PM PST by Pericles
Bin Laden In Turkey Twice
ISTANBUL, Sept 21 (NTV-MSNBC) - Records show that Osama Bin Laden, the prime suspect in the terrorist attacks against the US last week, visited Turkey in 1996 and 1998. However, the curtain over who he has met with has yet to be lifted. The Saudi dissident bin Laden arrived in Turkey on 28 August 1996 in his private plane and stayed for 33 hours. bin Ladens plane is reported to have landed at Adanas Sakirpasa airport in the south of Turkey from the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The plane flew then to Istanbul and left Turkey the next day. During this trip to Turkey bin Laden was accompanied by one person apart from the crew.
bin Laden paid another visit to Turkey on 17 February 1998, just six months before bombing attacks on the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. This visit also had a stop over in Adana before flying to Istanbul. According to the records of Havas, which provided on the ground services to the plane, apart from bin Laden himself who was listed as Muhammad Osama there was one other passenger named El Sawaf.
Although bin Laden was on Interpols wanted list at the time of both his visits he has faced no difficulties while in Turkey.
Airways experts say that bin Laden could have flown from Jeddah to Istanbul without his plane having to refuel. One official from the State Airports Management said that it was noteworthy that in both cases bin Laden used the Adana airport and that this could have been a conscious choice.
Adanas Sakirpasa airport is known for its poor record of security in recent years, with a number of hijackings taking place. The official stated that Adana could have been chosen to avoid passport controls.
Another interesting detail about the visits of bin Laden to Turkey is that the first visit was reported to the Ankara State Airport Management Directorate, as is compulsory for all private planes. The first visit has been recorded in Istanbul among in secret files. Another point was that the documentation for ground services given to the bin Laden plane were not put on computer and was filled by hand with the registration number left blank.
The American newspaper the Wall Street Journal in a news piece citing CIA sources, has claimed that bin Laden held talks with the Iraq intelligence service El Muhaberat.
Read about it here @ BIN LADEN GATE
Very Intresting indeed.
I will bet this was Al-Zawahiri.
bin Laden was already on Interpol's wanted list in 1996? Well, well, well! According to Richard Labeviere's Dollars for Terror, bin Laden had no trouble landing his private jet at London's Heathrow Airport in Oct. 1997. He then attended a meeting at the house of the spokesman of bin Laden front ARC at 94 Dewsbury Rd., Wembley, London on Oct. 10, 1997, where the order was given for the massacre at Luxor that took place on Nov. 17, 1997.
By the way, the headquarters of the Turkish intelligence service is right outside Adana.
Not being smarmy in the slightest, these are legitimate observations and questions.
if it's all the "clinton agenda", why are we still in the balkans?The alternative to you being in the Balkans would be us being there, as the Brittish and the French would not be efficient at keeping the peace, nor protecting the population. You're only there to prevent us from having gone in, which would have given a number of those countries over there to cause a wider war in Europe - not something to be wished for.
Wall Street Journal Europe-as revealed in the February 2001 East Africa bombing trial testimony of Jamal al Fadl -- an al Qaeda operative in charge of weapons development in Sudan -- uranium used in "dirty bombs" that release lethal radioactive material, had been tested in 1994 by members of the Sudan-based Islamic National Front in the town of Hilat Koko, in Turkish-held northern Cyprus.
In what capacity?
You're only there to prevent us from having gone inIn a capacity not enjoyable to those laying siege to Bosnasaray.
In what capacity
You don't say................
That would have required permission from others, and represents an option that would:
1. Unite the Christian Slavs in the Balkans if not everywhere else.
2. Ultimately paint Turkey and the mujihadeen with the same brush.
Turkey has no dog in the Balkans fight. Is "history" worth Turkey ruining its political capital in order to save Albanian illegal immigration in the Balkans?
A nation with a track record of unemployability, robbery, pimping, and the European sales agents for taliban heroin?
If Turkey had moved into Bosnia or Kosovo, no amount of Ruder Finn or the CNN war slut could have prevented a big problem.
Turkey does what it is told. For now, its job is to absorb earthquakes, make allies as directed, and hope that Jan Sobieski stays buried.
Wonder what Bayezid said when Taburlane had him in a cage.
Turkey has no dog in the Balkans fight. Is "history" worth Turkey ruining its political capital in order to save Albanian illegal immigration in the Balkans?Another Cold Loser!
A nation with a track record of unemployability, robbery, pimping, and the European sales agents for taliban heroin?You musta had your glasses up your a$$ before you put them on to see what's up!
If Turkey had moved into Bosnia or Kosovo, no amount of Ruder Finn or the CNN war slut could have prevented a big problem.Did your sister work for CNN?
Turkey does what it is told. For now, its job is to absorb earthquakes, make allies as directed, and hope that Jan Sobieski stays buried.Yawn.
Wonder what Bayezid said when Taburlane had him in a cage.He said, "What can I do for you?" To which Timur replied: "I'll have something to drink. It was a long journey."
In a capacity not enjoyable to those laying siege to BosnasarayThis part I will agree with.

I remember the market attack. What makes you so sure that it was the Serbs who did it?Hmm. Some also say that WTC was self inflicted, or that the Russian apartment bombings were done by the Russian government.
by Hugh McManners, Defence Correspondent
British ammunition experts serving with the United Nations in Sarajevo have chalenged key "evidence" of the Serbian atrocity that triggered the devastating NATO bombing campaign which turned the tide of the Balkan war.
The experts, who examined the scene of the market massacre in Sarajevo in August, say they found no evidence that Bosnian Serbs had fired the lethal mortar round. They suspected the Bosnian government army might have been responsible.
They say French analysts who also examined the scene agreed with them. But they were overruled by the senior American officer, and the UN issued a statement saying it was beyond any doubt that the Bosnian Serbs were responsible for the blast, in which 37 people were killed and 90 wounded.
The carnage was used as a pretext for NATO's huge air campaign against the Bosnian Serbs, which was followed by extensive battlefield losses and forced the Serbs to the negotiating table.
The British experts were in a UN crater-analysis team that reached the Trznica (Markale) market in Sarajevo 40 minutes after the mortar attack on the morning of August 28. They began their inspection amid a bloody scene of smashed fruit stalls and screaming people.
Five mortars had been fired. The size of craters and metal splinters indicated that they were all of 120mm caliber, probably from towed mortars which are regularly fired into the city...
They suspected that the perpetrators might easily have been not the Bosnian Serbs but the Bosnian government army, which has been implicated in other incidents such as rocket attack on Sarajevo's television station on June 29, in which five people died and 30 others were injured.
The observations and findings were confirmed by the French, and they returned to base to make their report.
A senior American officer at the United Nations Protection Force (Unprofor) headquaters in Sarajevo dismissed their findings, however, citing a small groove known as a fuse furrow made in the ground by the bomb head.
...Neither British nor French analysis notice such a groove.
By nightfall, the UN announced that the Bosnian Serbs were to blame. Fewer than 48 hours later, the NATO air strikes and artillery campaign began... ...
More to come.

Caption: Nermina Ismic mourns at the burial of her daughter, Admira, and her boyfriend Bosko Brkic on Wednesday in Sarajevo. The bodies were exhumed from a Serb military cemetery and taken to the city.
Associated Press
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herceovina -- The couple whose love and death came to symbolize Sarajevo's tragedy came home in coffins and were buried together Wednesday, ending the odyssey of a Serb man and Muslim woman the world knew as Romeo and Juliet.
Bosko Brkic and Admira Ismic died in sniper fire on Sarajevo's most dangerous bridge in May 1993. Their bodies lay in a last embrace for a week before being buried in a Serb-held suburb.
With the war over, Admira's father wanted his daughter and her beloved to rest in the city where they met. On Wednesday, the two were lowered into a joint grave in Lion Cemetery. Side-by-side wooden markers engraved with their names mark the spot.
"This is where they were killed and this is where they should have been buried," said Zijad Ismic, as his wife, Nermina, sobbed.
Ismic said he tried in vain to find Bosko's family to get permission for the reburial.
The story of the couple's love and death outgrew their personal tragedy to become a symbol of Sarajevo's plight.
Both were 25, and they had been together for nine years when they died. Asked by Bosko's mother at the start of the Bosnian war whether politics could ever separate them, Admira replied that only a bullet could do that.
The bullet came in 1993, remembered by many as the worst year of Sarajevo's siege, with hunger, cold and shelling daily occurrences.
The two had decided to seek a better life somewhere else.
They made a deal with friends in the Muslim-led government army to escape over the Vrbanja bridge across the Miljacka River. Government troops on the north bank and Serbs on the south kept the bridge under fierce sniper fire, making it a deadly no-man's land.
They went in daylight and were almost across when a sniper's bullet -- nobody knows from where -- killed Bosko. Another wounded Admira. She crawled to Bosko's body, put her arm around him and died without trying to go on alone.
As both sides traded blame for the killings, no one dared retrieve the bodies. Pictures of the dead couple filled newspapers and touched hearts worldwide.
Finally, the Serbs retrieved the bodies and buried them. Copyright 1996, The Detroit News
Let us see the events:
They made a deal with friends in the Muslim-led government army to escape over the Vrbanja bridge across the Miljacka River. Government troops on the north bank and Serbs on the south kept the bridge under fierce sniper fire, making it a deadly no-man's land.
Oh so nice of the Muslims to get them help across. But why pick such a dangerous spot? The Muslims had safe outs from Sarajevo.
They went in daylight and were almost across when a sniper's bullet -- nobody knows from where -- killed Bosko. Another wounded Admira. She crawled to Bosko's body, put her arm around him and died without trying to go on alone.
Daylight?? They crossed a sniped bridge at daylight?? when a sniper's bullet -- nobody knows from where - I am guessing the same side that told them the bridge was safe.
Finally, the Serbs retrieved the bodies and buried them. Those Serbs! So evil!
The bodies were exhumed from a Serb military cemetery and taken to the city. Muslim propoganda props to the end. The Muslims did not even put a cross to mark the Christian Serb's grave.
Therefore, every time you think of that couple kill blame the correct people - the Croats and Muslims of Seve.
A French peace forces member was killed at the time with a sniper bullet. Are Seve behind that murder?
Yes, they are... The unofficial information was that an investigation of that murder had been opened. The murder took place in the center of Sarajevo, next to the building of the Executive Council, and there was a well founded suspicion that the murder had been carried out by Seve. Herenda confirmed that in a part of his statement. According to him, the French soldier was murdered in an attempt to accuse Serbs for the crime. However, investigators who worked on that crime immediately found out that the bullet could not have come from the Serb positions in Grbavica, as was claimed in the public. The whole case caused quite a stir but Delic, Dautbasic, Mujezinovic, and Ugljen tried to hush everything down and were largely successful in that.
Fake Autopsies
Who murdered the young couple, a Muslim woman and a Serb man, on one bridge in Sarajevo, on the line of separation? That crime outraged the whole world and Serbs were blamed for it.
That is not true. This was perfidious propaganda of the people who gave orders to Seve. Herenda was specific in connection with that crime in his statement and stated that the couple had been murdered by Dragan Bozic from a sniper rifle. Herenda even described the spot from which Bozic killed them.
We aren't heartless, we just don't fall for the propaganda. As you can see from my post above: that couple was murdered by the terrorist group Seve, not the Serbs.
The propagandists falsely blaming the Serbs are practically war criminals themselves.
Doesn't it make you wonder just how much propaganda and lies you and millions of others have fallen for? You were totally fooled and totally wrong on that incident. Totally.
You blame the Serbs for an incident without proof. You all have blamed the Serbs for something they didn't do.
When the hell are you going to apologize? When is the major newmedia going to come clean with all their lies and coverup of what the Muslims and Croats did to Serbs and each other?
quick wasting your breath on a-turk.......he is clearly a fanatci supporter of islamist Mujhadeen Warriors......
he is clearly a fanatci supporter of islamist Mujhadeen WarriorsRubbish.

Sober second thoughts: Jonathan Bernier a gamble Leafs didn't need to make
Cam Charron
June 24 2013 11:30AM
There are still a lot more moves for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, but I'm wondering if any will be met with the polarized reaction of the Jonathan Bernier trade. My initial reaction was the same as Emily's. The Maple Leafs have been looking for a goaltender for years and years, and they finally had one come up through the system that was good enough to take the team to the playoffs and all of a sudden he's no longer good enough?
Troubling to me is that Dave Nonis has been pulling strings on a Bernier trade all season and decided now was the time to do it. Nothing he saw during last season convinced him that James Reimer was a goaltender who deserved at least a shot at a starting job during an 82-game season.
An optimist will look at this deal and suggest that the Maple Leafs are better in net than they were last week, and that optimist will be true. Jonathan Bernier offers an upgrade to Ben Scrivens, with a slightly higher NHL save percentage (.912 to .910) and a higher AHL save percentage (.927 to .924). The pessimist will see those gains as not being enough to justify the cost of Matt Frattin and a 2nd round selection.
Oh, and $500K in cap space. As noted yesterday, with buyouts to Colby Armstrong and Darcy Tucker still on the books and Colton Orr's re-signing, that is $3.425M counting against the cap on things that will not play hockey for the Maple Leafs this season. I thought withholding salary in the Matt Lombardi trade made some sense to free up a roster spot for Nazem Kadri, but does it on the gamble that Bernier is a better goaltender than James Reimer?
To clear up some issues from yesterday, I don't think that Bernier is a crummy goaltender that is indicative of his .912 save percentage. Last summer, I wrote out an argument that Bernier would maximize the Leafs' chances at finding a starting goaltender, and that Bernier's career sample size is not big enough to conclude whether he's good or bad at this point. He's a goaltender that we've been told has a much higher ceiling than Ben Scrivens, but as Steve noted in his video breakdown of the deal yesterday, Scrivens is an immensely likeable human being who was completely comfortable with his backup job.
Bernier? Well, the Kings never did too well when they had a Jonathan Quick and Jonathan Bernier goalie tandem. After his Memorial Cup year with the Lewiston MAINEiacs, the Kings had him as their opening day starter in London in 2007. As the 11th overall pick in 2006, he was destined to be the Kings starter and it just never worked out. He never played more than 25 games in a season in LA and like Reimer, has never been tested in a long season.
That 25-game season was after LA was through their period of goaltender searching and they settled on Quick. Quick started 60 games and all six in the playoffs while Bernier started just 22 and didn't see a minute of playoff action. The next year which was the Kings' Stanley Cup season, the starts were split 89-13 for Quick. This past season, they were 54-12. If the Kings had visions of Bernier's ability as a No. 1, they never showed it as any attempts to go with a 1-1A goaltending system ended with Quick going on a run and ending with the job.
Overall in the last three years in the tandem system in LA, Bernier started just 18% of the Kings' games. Like Reimer, there are some longevity concerns because Bernier has never faced a heavy workload. I think there are already lots of people—including Randy Carlyle—that have already pencilled in Bernier as the team's starter already. Why do you suppose this is? Why are the Leafs banking on the guy they can dream on rather than the guy they have? Why did nothing that Nonis see out of James Reimer this season make him believe that perhaps he was worth giving a shot in an 82-game season.
At worst, the Leafs goaltending is marginally better. The problem is the rush to accept that this was an area of need for the Leafs.
Some Reactions:
I'll start with James Mirtle, as I usually do, who quoted Dave Nonis as saying that the job for the No. 1 goaltender is still up for grabs. Healthy competition? Again, is Bernier ready for a tandem system?
Toronto's biggest needs are obvious – they need help down the middle and in the top four on the blueline – but adding in those areas is never easy, especially with the cap declining by nearly 10 per cent.
The only place the Leafs really are set is in goal, even though there's an argument to be made that was the case prior to landing Bernier, too.
Now, the two young goaltenders – one old and one new – will be expected to push one another and continue the organization's newfound success in the crease.
"This shouldn't be looked as a knock on James at all because it's not," Nonis said of adding another netminder. "I believe that when you have someone pushing you, you get the most out of yourself. And I think that's the situation here where these guys can push each other and we're going to see some good goaltending because of it."
Chris Johnston at Sportsnet wrote an excellent breakdown of what the LA Kings and Maple Leafs went through to get the deal done:
When the Kings were eliminated from the Western Conference final a little over two weeks ago, Lombardi let it be known he was finally ready to move Bernier.
He gathered a master list of interested teams and gradually worked at paring it down. It was a grueling process that Lombardi was anxious to complete before travelling to Newark, N.J., for the June 30 entry draft.
"It was a very difficult deal to make," he said. "There was a lot of due diligence, a tremendous amount of phone calls to narrow it down to the teams that were serious. And then we finally pulled the trigger when (we) were convinced this was the best deal you were going to get."
The priority for the Kings was making a trade that would ease some of the burden on their salary commitments — something that was necessary with the cap dropping to $64.3-million next season and a number of their current players in need of new contracts.
The idea of a master list is pretty compelling, but this piece reads like the Leafs were always in on Bernier and Bernier was destined to be a Leaf, with the only thing holding it back was literally a back, specifically Jonathan Quick's malfunctioning one.
Still, the whole thing reeks of Nonis, like most of the hockey world, falling in love with Bernier's potential over his actual ability. Remember, Bernier will be 25 by season's start. He's not that young anymore. He's a couple of months younger than me, and I've been beating myself up over not having accomplished what I wanted to before turning 25. Like Bernier, all I have to show for it is a messy apartment and not being an NHL starting goaltender.
How much does the hockey world love Bernier? Allow Pierre LeBrun to explain:
Like the Kings, I'm extremely high on Bernier. I think he's got star No. 1 written all over him. He'll have to fight for his starts with James Reimer, but that's a healthy competition. The Leafs' front office was just never totally comfortable giving the keys to the kingdom solely to Reimer. Now they feel they've doubled their bets.
A good gamble, Ranford said.
"I don't think he's any different than Quickie, I think he can prove to a lot of people that he's a legitimate No. 1 goalie for a long time in this league," said Ranford. "He's a very fit individual, he's very passionate about this position. The one thing about his game is that there's not a lot of maintenance that needs to be done to his game. It's just little tweaks here and there throughout the season. He's just a real quality guy and teammate and he wants to be a No. 1, and that's the big thing."
Bernier really opened eyes this season when he stepped in some for important games while Quick got his act together.
Let's be clear. Bernier started 12 games for the Kings this season. Los Angeles were the best Corsi Tied team in the NHL from wire-to-wire, so I'm doubting they had to rely on their backup goalie to make the playoffs.
Actually, funny statistic: The Maple Leafs' goalie tandem of Reimer and Scrivens combined for an even strength save percentage of .9239, per Hockey Analysis. Quick and Bernier? Merely .9149. Those numbers are far too small a sample to be predictive, but it's outrageous to say that LA's two goaltenders had more of a hand in helping the Kings make the playoffs than the excellent play of Reimer and Scrivens all season.
And Darren Dreger:
@mirtle @bruce_arthur. Bernier's LA teammates believe he is a starter and will be a very good goalie. I see no reason to doubt that.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 23, 2013
Yes, because finding teammates that talk about how good their goalie is is a rarity in the NHL. I think the only NHL player who thinks about forecasting future player performance is Ben Scrivens. (He reads work written by smart, handsome people)
I'm going to link to the Toronto Star here (even though they don't link to us) to highlight the worst thing written about the trade, bar none. This is Dave Feschuk:
This is a franchise whose record of goalie-for-goalie moves includes Tuukka Rask for Andrew Raycroft, the scorecard on which currently sees Rask within two wins of the Stanley Cup and Raycroft last employed in the Italian league. And as for the chatter among NHL insiders that Bernier is a can't-miss star who could one day surpass L.A.'s Jonathan Quick as one of the league's premier puck-stoppers — on that front, Leaf fans have heard plenty of historic hot air about the impending greatness of this new netminder and that one. To be fair to Jonas Gustavsson, who won two games in four starts with the Detroit Red Wings a year after he was finally jettisoned by the Leafs, the Monster didn't hype himself.
So, what Feschuk is about to say is that caution should be implied on the Bernier trade, right?
Let's not forget the essential truth: for all the intoxicating fever that surrounded Toronto's first playoff run in nine years, this was a unit that only assured itself a berth in the final week of a truncated regular season before it got bounced in the first round of the playoffs after authoring one of the saddest choke jobs in the history of pro sports. It says something about Toronto that segments of the fan base yet wail: Don't change a thing!
Wow, Feschuk went full Rosie DiManno on this one. If there's anything predictive about previous choke jobs, I'm, er, not seeing it. After his two worst outings ever in Games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, I watched Roberto Luongo turn in his signature career game in Game 5, shutting out the Boston Bruins and giving the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 series lead over Boston. A year ago, that same Bruins team gave up a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers in what was also a historic collapse. They won the Stanley Cup.
Can you think of other collapses? How about the New Jersey Devils blowing a one-goal lead in Game 7 of their 2009 first round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, with the considerably clutch Martin Brodeur letting in goals with 1:20 on the clock and again with 0:32 on the clock to give the Hurricanes a 4-3 lead in both the game and eventually the series? Nope. According to Feschuk, he is "the greatest Devil of them all", even after Feschuk has seen Brodeur allow two goals in the exact same span of game time as Reimer did in the exact same situation: Game 7 of a first round series.
Feschuk is right in that Toronto was not as good as their record indicated, but, uh, their issues weren't in net. At 27th in shots against and 17th in goals against, how on earth does Feschuk conclude that the Leafs major issue was in goal?
To the blogosphere, mORRganRielly wrote about how the trade satisfied a need for a goaltender that could steal games:
Overall, the trade as a whole smells from a distance and perhaps it was a move the Leafs didn't need to make. There's also the question of whether Tim Leiweke had a hand in forcing Nonis to make this trade. However, the deeper we go, the more sense it makes when we're thinking about the concept of winning games rather than keeping the team in it. Goals may win games, but goaltending can steal games we don't deserve to win.
For evidence Mr. mORRganRielly quoted a scouting report from 2006. I understand the desire to have a goaltender steal games, but how many games did Bernier steal when he was with the Kings before they became a vaunted force with the additions of Jeff Carter and Mike Richards? I hate, hate, hate using goaltender wins as a statistic, but I always like to point at Reimer's 34-28-9 record during 2011 through 2012 during an absolute period of crisis for the Leafs. That is an 89-point pace, very close to playoff calibre, during a time when no other goalie had the Leafs even close to contention.
Bernier, before the Kings went out and got Carter, was 14-11-3. Much smaller sample, and hardly even better. That's a 91-point pace, but the Kings were able to make the playoffs without him in 2010 and 2011 quite handedly. I think Reimer is a goalie who has stolen games. He doesn't look flashy while doing it, but he's a strong positional goaltender that doesn't have to make highlight-reel saves to be successful. He just stops pucks.
Hope in the Big Smoke also touched on experience as an issue:
have yet to hear a bad word said about Bernier. I remember how highly thought of he was heading into the draft and he was a highly regarded prospect ever since then. He was considered a franchise goalie and all reports say that he still will be. If the Leafs acquired a goalie of those capabilities then I am certainly on board with the move. The problem is Bernier's lack of experience. The Leafs acquired a goalie that wants to be a number 1 goalie, while already having Reimer in that role. Could Bernier be better than Reimer? That is a definite possibility, but Reimer has played 104 NHL games to Bernier's 62. Reimer's career .915 save percentage (on an inferior Leafs team and in more games) is slightly better than Bernier's .912. Reimer has also tasted NHL playoff action while Bernier has only watched from the bench in the NHL's second season. While nobody has anything bad to say about Bernier, the issue of his inexperience still exists. Was wasting three valuable assets necessary with Reimer already in the fold?
That's what it comes down to. The cost to upgrade marginally in net was potentially too high. It's a good move that was made at simply the wrong time. Bernier could be spectacular, but Reimer has just as good of a chance at this point to be the guy. Even if Bernier comes through with a dazzling .935 EV SV% next season in 60 games, it's still a hollow accomplishment because you never quite know what Reimer could have done when handed the reins.
Anybody who tells you that they can predict goaltending performance is lying. Goalies are easy to judge because their statistics are pretty straightforward, but they are insanely impossible to predict. Were the same hockey insiders that are so high on Bernier real big on Craig Anderson when Ottawa traded for him? What about Sergei Bobrovsky? What did the scouting reports say about Henrik Lundqvist when he was drafted at 205 in 2000? Were they as glowing as Bernier's? That year, the goalies taken in the first round were Rick DiPietro and Brent Krahn.
This deal was made for the wrong reasons, and while there's a non-zero chance Bernier could become a star in Toronto, there is just as good of a chance that Reimer could have been the guy as well. "Wait and see" is off the table. What matters is the information we have now, and Dave Nonis paid a serviceable depth winger and a second round pick for potential. Now comes signing Bernier, and we'll get to that tomorrow.
I still dont see the problem with having two good goalies. Worst case scenerio for the team is they both suck haha but most likey one will run with the ball and the team will be winning. Who cares whos in net, I think Reimer is an awesome guy but if bernier steals the crease with outstadning play, then so be it. I like this move, both players traded were unproven, not a big deal, liked them both, but not a big deal
I'd be ok if the Leafs pickup Bernier for nothing.
But they didn't.. Frattin will be hard to replace based on his cap hit and production. Not many 10-20 goal scorers are available for under $1 million.
Scrivens has potential - only played 32 NHL games and had a save % of 0.910 (Bernier's lifetime save % is 0.912). I would have liked to seen him grow.
And the worst part of this trade is that the Leafs will be retaining salary. With the Salary cap going down, this will further hamper the Leafs from acquiring a #1c or #2D.
I dont like the cost of Bernier, however what is Nonis's agenda. What if some team comes along offers Bernier an offer, Leafs decide to take picks instead of matching it which depending on offer could be a substantial benefit for future. What I mean is Leafs trade Frattin, Scrivens, and a 2nd round pick and Cash. End result maybe 3 first rds and a 2nd rd for Bernier. We wont know until we find out if Bernier signs with Leafs or not and for how much he is an RFA. So really speculating before we find out what Nonis motives really are is pointless GM's have never really been truly honest with their game plan or motives.

Agreed -- it does raise the issue of motive and plan. Either there are none (in which Nonis is starting sadly), or there's a larger project. If the latter is the case, then the main loss might have been a good complementary backup for Reimer. Assuming Reimer is still part of the Plan. But who knows?
June 25 2013, 09:50AM
So now a serviceable depth winger and a 2nd round pick are too much to pay for potential? The truth is you can't pick and choose when something becomes available. If Nonis had a choice to land a potential #1C vs Bernier, he probably would have spent his assets on the center, but that's now how it works. Nonis had to make a decision, deal for Bernier now, or hold on to Frattin and the pick (and Scrivens) in the hopes that he could use them in another trade to get a C/D. Players with the potential to be ALL-STARS don't get traded everyday, and if you can land one (for a depth winger and pick), you almost always have to do it.
Think of it this way - has anybody EVER said that Frattin or Scrivens will be an All-Star/Elite player in the NHL? Well, people can at least talk about Bernier in that way. Did we NEED another goalie? No, probably not. Did we trade away anything of REAL IRREPLACEABLE value? No. Simply put, even if the Leafs had a very strong group of 7 defensemen and somebody offered you Dion Phaneuf for Stajan/White/Mayers/BoxOfHammers, you take the deal and sort out the puzzle pieces afterwards.
"What if some team comes along offers Bernier an offer, Leafs decide to take picks instead of matching it which depending on offer could be a substantial benefit for future." Why would we want to trade our backup who was ready (meaning we'd need to bring Rynnas or Owuya up probably) and a 3rd line winger (who can score, which we aren't exactly rolling in) for people who won't be ready for 5+ years? Why are people hellbent on the eternal rebuild?
Excellent article! Glad you slept on it!
Just a reminder : Dregher/LeBrun & Ferraro were also all embarrassingly high on MAF - Even though his underlying stats clearly showed he was & is simply an average goalie?
Reimer IS a B goalie. He has the potential to be an A but must cross the final hurdle - top performance over 65+ games . (Like King Henrik/& Lui)
JB IS at best an unknown - Nonis just gave up cap space a fringe player? & a 2nd rounder at for a roll of a loaded dice -
Most likely JB is a C goalie - LA has had one of the lowest SA in last 4 yrs - If you believe in Shot quality - or that it IS easier to play behind better Corsi teams - Then (you are correct to point out) that Quick & JB's #'s ARE inflated...
The fact that so many in MSM are in favor of this move is a reminder how ignorant they are in terms of numerical analysis and critical thinking! Well Done!

We fix somes problems in our IMS and we want to know if the problems are the same.
We also want to know what are the other problems.
Gilles-Philippe, when you said you fixed problems in yours, is that just in your 2.0 copy? Can you post patches please?
I have already submitted some of the fix/improvement:
- http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-25983. Its an improvement because it add the summary on an IMS course ans its alors a fix because without it, the course created with a summary to null cannot be found with the moodle course search engine.
- http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-20223 This one fix the default value for a course. it also add he code for adding the default enrolment method like the ones added when a course is created by others creation methods.
Finnally, we did a little change for the default language of the created user:
$person->lang = 'manual'; //TODO: this needs more work due tu multiauth changes
Modified to:
$person->lang = $CFG->lang; //TODO: this needs more work due tu multiauth changes
We also modified the startdate of our created courses to fit the beginning of your sessions dates.
However we would like to know are the changes to be made to the IMS Enterprise enrollment method that will be included in this task.
Indeed, nothing is explicitly specified. It is only said that it does not work. We want to know exactly what does not, if our patches can help to achieve this task and finally if other patches need / are included in this task.
I agree that the description is not helpful. I guess Petr wrote it as a reminder for himself for later and it ended up in the Agile sprint.
Anyway, after talking about this issue in the Sprint meeting, we decide to clarify it a bit, I'll organize this issue as a central issue to fix these IMS problems.
I have been playing with the IMS import in Moodle 2, and have found a lot of errors too.
The <cohort> tag is definitely broken
Only 1 authentication plugin can be enabled (Manual and No) are fine, but only one other. We use LDAP. You can hard code this to a specific one if that is all you need. (This bug goes back to the dawn of time....)
New courses are not searchable. Something is amiss there. Entering the course settings and saving (no changes needed) will make the course searchable.
System Defaults for course settings are again ignored. For the time being these need to be hard coded.
Good luck Petr with that finding time thing...
After having a look at the database after an import, I believe I have a work-around for the non-searchable courses. The current IMS load creates a course without anything in the course summary field, and this is assigned the value NULL. However, when searching, a course with NULL as the summary will not be included in the search results. I'm not sure which end the problem lies, whether the search should be able to ignore the NULL, or the IMS load should not create NULL entries or whether the database structure should not be set as NULL by default. Anyway, if you put this line in your lib.php file, around line 354, you should have a suitable workaround.
$course->summary = '';
Quick note, 2 and 5 are the same issue. I accidentally cloned this about 4 months ago. This has been resolved in 2.2 by Dan Marsden, so that can be closed off. Only leaves point 1 as far as I can see. The status of blocker could also be changed to improvement, as I don't see the addition of the summary as being a blocker IMHO.
Closing, all sub-tasks are closed. Further work on http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-28705

By GARY ARRINGTON
Every once in a while the world seems to be upside down and this college football season was one of those times, especially here in the state of Utah. I don't believe that ever in my life could one consider the Utah State Aggies to be the best football team in this state. The conversation has always focused around BYU and the University of Utah. That conversation never included the team to the north. They just aren't recognized as being that great in football. Even though BYU did sneak out a win over the Aggie this season, the talk was always about just how good this Utah State team was doing. I associate with several former Utah State alumni and I really have to say that they became quite obnoxious as the season ran on.
Texts and emails constantly, Aggie flags all over their vehicles and constant chatter about Logan. It went on and on and on.
But now as the season has ended for all the Utah teams I must confess that I am proud of what Utah State accomplished this season. They finished in the top 20 in the nation in the football rankings and played great ball all season, they made people notice.
I like the fact that so much of the press in the state was talking about them rather than the other two bigger schools. I must confess that I am a BYU follower but I am tired of listening to all the pros and cons of being independent rather than a conference member.
I am even more tired of hearing from Ute fans that "hey, we are a member of the PAC-12 and we are special" and that statement is almost always followed by a nah nah na nah nah.
Utah State does not get the headlines for recruiting the top players from around the country or even from around this state, it just never has happened. This season it didn't matter as the players and coaches came together to have a wonderful season and reinforce that old principle of hard work reaps rewards.
Now I know that the coach has left for greener pastures but it doesn't take away from the just concluded season. It was special and it should give all of us hope because it shows that rewards will come with hard work. The underdog shining is cause for all of us to be proud, good job Aggies.

Ojou-sama (that's your new nickname ~by bushi) is too bright!
I am sorry but bushi cannot be associated with anything that may relate in some way to "cuteness" I am just bushi b for badass and boy!!!See? He's a teddy bear, just like that demonic one in Supernatural last night.
Me blushing was plain sarcasm, The bushi does not blush nor does he shed tears for anybody, feelings and remorse have all been extracted from my conscience to allow me to be cool!
and I will quote Ojou-san and say KINTAMA to remain on topic
Also did you read my post it was really long and probably a little bit hard to understand but about people flaming me or whatnot you already admitted that I am older than you at this so let me confirm that i can take care of myself. ^^

"Just received these shoes and fell instantly in love! Can't wait to wear them out in warmer weather which can be tomorrow with Houston weather! Actually purchased for summer wardrobe. Very comfortable. I normally wear a size 8 in all shoes. These are just a bit big but are still wearable. The service was right on. Can't wait to get more shoes!!!"

Best Wedge
"This has the be the most comfortable pair of wedges I own. I'm a size 10 regular, usually wear a 9.5 in heels/wedges. This pair I got in a 9, they do tend to run a bit large. I don't wear heels/wedges very often, they normally are just too uncomfortable for me. I can wear these all day! They're super cute and really fit your feet.They are true Dr. Scholl's in that they fit right to your foot and offer support. The insole is very soft and molds to your foot a bit. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a pair of cute, comfortable wedges. My mom keeps trying to steal them from me but unfortunately for her, they're too big. She's a size 8."

Riding the CDR we detoured to the east after crossing the border from Wyoming...lots of the area was closed due to pine beetles....but we found this place out in the middle of the wilderness. Six riders, six GS/GSA's...hated to come home.
Riding the CDR we detoured to the east after crossing the border from Wyoming...lots of the area was closed due to pine beetles....but we found this place out in the middle of the wilderness. Six riders, six GS/GSA's...hated to come home.
Last day on the CDR we camped in Del Norte by the Rio Grande. Some of the guys broke out the fly fishing gear...no luck. We ate like kings. Walt (standing left side) had the great idea of going back into town to get some pies, some ice and beer. The man clearly had his priorities in order....first pie then beer!! No one wanted to pack any of their freeze dried goodies home so, we all laid out what we had left. We cranked up the Jet Boils and proceeded to have a great time eating, sippin on many cold ones, smoking some fine cigars, all the while sitting by the fire, listening to the river, and sharing the stories of the day.

Cold winter camping in the Redwoods where if you want a fire to cook on, you'd better import dry wood into the insanely wet forest.
I usually don't care to pay to camp right next to people or for firewood, but I had the campground to myself - The Masses don't like the cold and wet, and I don't like The Masses so it all worked out this night.
Amazing pictures!

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
For the 33rd year, San Rafael Junior High honored this country's Veterans with a program at the school. On Veteran's Day, the American Legion and Auxiliary members gathered at San Rafael to present the colors for the students.
Following the posting of the colors, Ferron Veteran Sam Singleton led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Teacher Cole Pitchforth introduced the video, The Rest of the Story, which told about the night Frances Scott Key wrote The Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem. The San Rafael band then played the national anthem while the audience stood and sang the song.
Another Ferron Veteran, Ray Wareham, was the guest speaker for the program. As Pitchforth introduced Sgt. Wareham, student Caleb Woolsey approached the microphone with Sgt. Wareham. Woolsey was wearing Sgt. Wareham's Marine Corps uniform and stood straight and quiet during Sgt. Wareham's presentation.
Ray told of his being drafted three days before graduation from South Emery High School in 1943. He was allowed to wait 10 days before reporting so he was able to participate in graduation. He was sent to boot camp in San Diego, Calif. and from there he was sent to the South Pacific.
He told of being in the Mariannes Islands and being on Guam. It was in Guam where the Enola Gay, carrying the atom bombs to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki took off. Ray spent the remainder of the World War II in the South Pacific.
Sgt. Wareham showed the students an M-1 rifle. He explained this was the type he had used during his service. He also showed the students a 1862 Peabody, .45 caliber from the Civil War era. Ray's grandfather had fought in the Blackhawk Indian War and he showed the students the Colt 45 his grandfather had used in the cavalry.
Pitchforth played a video and song by Dr. Sam about thanking the Veterans named Before You Go. This song is currently a popular song about not thanking the Veterans adequately who have served over the years.
The band then played a medley called Armed Forces on Parade which was comprised of each of the theme songs from the branches of the military. As each song was played, the Veterans from that branch stood.
Woolsey, still in Sgt. Wareham's uniform, closed the program by playing Taps on the bugle.

*12/30/09* Flames v. Kings Postgame: Conroy Scores!
December 31 2009 12:09AM
Calgary Flames: 2 -- Rene Bourque, Craig 'FREAKING' Conroy [GWG]
Los Angeles Kings: 1 -- Scott Parse
After a disappointing day for three Canadian defenceman who regularly wear the flaming 'C', the Flames looked to make it two in a row. Dion Phaneuf took out his frustration early as he laid out Anze Kopitar as the two raced back for a loose puck. Kopitar's helmet flew off as his head hit the dasher boards on his way down. He remained on the ice for a few minutes before leaving on his own power and returning the very next shift. Phaneuf on the other hand, was given a five minute major for boarding and a game misconduct. At one point, it looked like coaches Brent Sutter and Terry Murray may "throw down" as the two exchanged Christmas pleasantries, leading Murray to send out Kings meathead Raitis Ivanans to goon it up for a shift (where he promptly took an elbowing penalty and started a bit of a melee).
Miikka Kiprusoff recorded his 20th win of the season, as the Flames snapped a three game home winless streak.
The opening goal featured Jay Bouwmeester feathering a pass over to Rene Bourque for the tip in on a 2-on-1 against Olympian Drew Doughty. With four goals in his past two games, Bourque has 14 on the year.
After giving up an early goal just 15 seconds into the 2nd period, the Flames got a lucky bounce as Kings goalie Erik Ersberg ventured out to play the puck. He fumbled around with it until it landed on Craig Conroy's stick. For the love of God, anybody but... HE SCORED! HE SCORED, HE SCORED!! Craig Conroy freaking sniped that one on the empty net for his FIRST of the season. Gotta love him!
Kiprusoff stopped a Dustin Brown penalty shot... sort of. Brown lost the puck on his way in and didn't register a shot. Not quite sure why the penalty shot was awarded. Perhaps the "Hockey Gods" felt the same and evened things out as Brown skated in.
Mark Giordano played 25:07 in Phaneuf's absence. He has certainly looked good this season and had a strong game. Not bad for a $900,000 player.
Bourque continues to be the Flames' best forward. With a goal and an assist, he had another solid game. Hey Daryl, how's that contract extension coming?
- Drew Doughty played 27:44 while Jay Bouwmeester played 27:24
- The Flames have beaten the Kings at home nine straight times dating back to December of 2005
- Twelve of the Kings last 14 games have been decided by one goal
- Flames fans booed Anze Kopitar mercillessly throughout the game after Phaneuf's early hit & subsequent ejection
- Cory Sarich is skating and should be ready to return within a week or so
Brandon Prust v. Sean O'Donnell
The Edmonton Oilers will visit "The 'Dome" Thursday night (12/31/09 @ 7:00, Sportsnet West, FAN960). The Oilers snapped a seven game losing streak Wednesday night, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1.
Flames Win! You know what I wanna do right now? I Wanna Rock
