Skip to comments.How many of these Democrats did the NRA give money to and get re-elected?
Posted on 12/17/2012 12:38:59 PM PST by ArmyBratproud
Never mind the fact that the NRA goes into a hiding hole in the ground somewhere everytime there is a dust up, leaving 2nd Amendment Supporters and Law Abiding Gun Owners to fend for themselves, which brings the usual question around these times. Where is the NRA?
A more important question needs to be asked. As we see so-called "pro gun" Democrats warming up to tighter gun controls, according to reports, we may just see where are membership dues went to those who will not help. How many of these Democrats that will come out for gun control laws did the NRA give money to and help get re-elected? Most of us have had concerns with the way the NRA seems to eager to "negotiate" at times. Usually because it comes too close to giving up ground that should never be given up.
Many have the renewal forms coming in the mail. I'm sure many will be watching to see if they want to give any more to those who might actually work against the rights of gun owners/law abiding citizens.
Yep. Where's John Tester? Where's Max Baucus? Oh, their bosses in the Democrat party told them to shut up.
This is not the time for this argument. There are going to be a lot of bills coming down the pike that will seek to completely strip the 2nd Amendment from the Constitution.
Causing a rift in the movement right now is not wise and in fact is quite foolish.
The NRA got Harry Reid re-elected. They're not always on the right side.
This is exactly the time for this concern! (There is no "argument" to it. Nothing to debate here. The fact of what is going on with NRA supported candidates going soft is fact). You don't wait until it is too late! Giving even a little ground only leads to bigger problems and loss of rights. The only reason someone would not be aware of this reality is if they were living in a cave for the past 30 years. Or...if they were one of those who is also soft on protecting our rights to own guns...
So now YOU feel the need to do so too? Sheesh!
Let's concentrate on the attack from the Left at the moment. When that has lessened or temporarily abated, then we can have a knock down, drag out internecine squabble.
I just want to prioritize. Besides, politics makes for strange bed fellows as you should well know.
Stop the Left first, then straighten out our side after.
You know, one of the things that struck me this morning, as two of my brain cells managed to fire at the same time, was this:
The NRA knows where each of its membership lives.
The membership knows little or nothing about the composition of the NRA other than a few in public leadership.
NRA members do not know each other.
I am not a big tinfoil hat guy, but if you connect the dots on the above the implications are disturbing.
Didn't Joe Manchin also pretend to be against the health care law but voted for it? Once a disgusting Dem, always a disgusting Dem..no one can trust a Dem..they say one thing but the second they are elected they turn around and stab you right in the back, that is why they are Dems
I have read that the NRA doesn't care the party, the person has to have a pro second amendment background....just repeating what I read, don't know who would qualify in the democratic party, except one of the members of congress and a liberal on everything except gun control. He recently left congress after 50 years...and was from Michigan...
Harry Reid
Hey Brat, why don't you cut to the chase here and speak what's really on your mind. You'd like nothing better than to see the NRA defunded and put out of business, right?
This is the single largest reason I don't support the NRA as a member or financial contributor. When the NRA endorsed Harry Reid for re-election in Nevada, was the final nail in the coffin.
ArmyBratproud didn't cause a rift - it was opened up by the NRA itself. The NRA chose the single-issue attitude to politics over objections by its membership. The NRA lost lots of members - including me - over their misguided endorsement of dingy harry. (actually what lost me was their intransigence to discussing political endorsement issues with their membership - they refused to answer our questions).
Thus, I see the question of "How many of these Democrats did the NRA give money to and get re-elected?" entirely valid and reasonable.
I know hundreds of NRA members and they know me.
This is why I stopped renewing my NRA membership. Their policy seems to be to support any incumbent, regardless of party if they are "pro 2nd amendment". For this reason, they withhold support from a challenger who may be a better candidate (and even more "pro 2nd amendment") than the guy they endorse.
Do YOU, PERSONALLY, endorse demonicRat Bastard Joe Manchin?
Chris Cox and NRA endorsed the slime-weasel.
That said I let my 30+ year membership go in 2010 when they did support two scummy dem congressional encumbents in CO.
They backed Reid instead of the Republican challenger, Sharon Angle (sp)
What really pisses me off is that the liberals didn't give the nation ten minutes to mourn before they started attackign conservatives for believing that the second amendment means what it says.
So, instead of mourning for the murdered children and offering words and prayers of condolence and comfort to the families and friends,we found ourselves feeling compelled to engage in political arguments with knuckleheads.
The NRA got Harry Reid re-elected
Because they supported the scumbag. And he milked that. His opponent may not have been the best but they could have supported her or at least failed to endorse him.
The NRA backs the candidate with the highest pro gun rating. Some win and some don't. Is the NRA responsible for the defeat of those they support that don't win?
Go this site,must sign in and see what they are worth and what they pay their directors etc.
Go this site,must sign in and see what they are worth and what they pay their directors etc.
National RINO Association?
Right - let's not talk about this.
In fact, we'll never talk about it.
Let's just surrender everything to the left.
The NRA endorses the candidate with the highest pro gun rating. The NRA is a proactive 2nd Amendment firearms organization, not a political organization. Is the NRA responsible for the defeat of every candidate they endorse that loses?
I felt the same way. I thought my opinion of the left could sink any lower, I was wrong.
The NRA is right to be quiet before the dead are buried. The gun grabbers are showing their lack of respect for the dead and their primary cause of taking away people's rights.
"Is the NRA responsible for the defeat of every candidate they endorse that loses?"
No, they are not. But they'd have to be blind not to see that Harry Reid is not the "conservative" democrat he claimed he was. He's a militant leftist who's the majority leader of the senate and democrats are always anti-gun. Reid played just enough to get their endorsement. Wanna bet that an assault weapons ban will somehow come up for a vote in the Senate while they "haven't had time" for lots of other legislation, budget, jobs, etc.
To be quite frank, I don't know who the hell he is.....
No they didn't...........
Red State: NRA NOT endorsing Harry Reid
Yet you vigorously defend the NRA, which endorsed him for US Senate.
Perhaps you should learn what sort of idiots you're defending.
Ok. Then my memory's shot. I thought they had endorsed him.
And you do this by endorsing politicians from the "Ban All Guns" party.
We exist to protect the second amendment.
I'm with ya.
If you choose to do so, brace yourself and visit Democratic Underground. Liberals being against the 2nd Ammendment is not a slam-dunk. Some of the pro-gun Dems are just as vehement and vociferous as anyone in support of this inalienable right.
Joe Manchin's ad accepting the NRA's endorsement. Gee that didn't turn around to bite them.
Joe Manchin's ad accepting the NRA's endorsement. Gee that didn't turn around to bite them.
Now that I know who he is, let me ask YOU this:
What is it in Manchin's past stance on firearms that would cause the NRA to NOT endorse him in his last election?
Firearms. We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few.
No politician, regardless of what he may have done, who does not explicitly repudiate that position, deserves an A+ rating or an endorsement.
Manchin tried to finesse the issue, pretending that signing some pro gun legislation that the Legislature shoved down his throat made him some sort of pro-gun conservative.
You're apparently the National Assault Weapons Ban Association ... see quote from the 2012 Democratic National Platform, which your NRA A+ Rated, Endorsed Hero Joe Manchin supported by running as a democRat.
Quit trying to defend the indefensible. You, and the NRA in general, would be far better off to admit that you screwed up. It would have the benefit of being honest.
Yeah, they're working this tragedy for all it's worth over there. I'm hoping that they continue to alienate and ostracize their members who actually support the RKBA so they'll join us and turn against them.

Derris Jones, DWR regional supervisor, gave an update concerning the southeastern Utah region at a recent RAC meeting. Jones began with the aquatics section. He announced that some stocking of lower elevation lakes and streams is now taking place. The ice is off at Scofield Reservoir and fishing has been excellent. Fisherman are having the best luck with egg sacs for bait. He reminded everyone that tributaries into Scofield are closed until July 9 for spawning purposes.
Joe's Valley reservoir is expected to spill, but Scofield is not. Jones stated that the quality of fishing in creeks and streams will deteriorate due to the muddy conditions expected during the spring runoff.
Spawning traps for Duck Fork will be installed this summer and small scale egg collection will begin. Ken's Lake and Millsite Reservoir have been stocked, and Huntington North is expected to be stocked soon.
Jones stated that the Gunnison and Greater sage grouse viewing in Carbon, San Juan and Wasatch counties has begun. The Lek counts are continuing for the sage grouse.On April 30, Wetland Day, which will be an educational and bird watching day, will be held at Desert Lake.
During the past two years, the habitat section has been busy. More than 50,000 acres have been planted with sagebrush seedlings in San Juan County.
Range Creek, DWRs newest wildlife management area, has recently become very popular. Jones said it is partly due to the publicity concerning the cultural resource in the canyon. He announced that permits will be available on the website for access into Range Creek. The permits will cost $5 per person, per day. Access is by foot or horseback only, and only 28 people will be allowed into the canyon each day.
Jones announced that for those people who are not able to access Range Creek by foot or horseback, the Emery and Carbon county recreation

Paulina + Ric forever
July 20, 2012 19:06:04 Posted at July 20, 2012 19:06:04 Photos:
Paulina Porizkova and Ric Ocasek were photographed on holiday. (Half of you are like...who???)
She's 47. She's had children. This is why supermodels really are genetic freaks. And rock stars too. He hasn't aged either!
Am so happy that they're still together. It's been a long, long time. It's been since the 80s. Oh the 80s. Supermodels were indeed superior in the 80s. I will argue this to death. Conveniently, a reader called Kelly just emailed this link to me this morning: 45 reasons supermodels were better in the 80s. Gia, bows, no camel toes, big hair, dancing poses, and more!

I don't usually review kitchen tools because I don't want this blog to read like a glorified Williams-Sonoma catalog, but the Sodastream Penguin is worth sharing. We used to buy sparkling water in bulk. (One member of our household, who shall remain nameless, is a recovering soda fiend. As methadone is to heroin, sparkling water is to Diet Coke.) With all the money we're not spending on Pellegrino and Poland Spring, the Penguin, a countertop gadget that carbonates tap water in seconds, paid for itself in less than 6 months.
The Penguin is easy to use: you just fill a reusable, dishwasher-safe glass carafe with cold water, drop it in, and press the beak-like lever a half dozen times. No clean-up and no electricity, and best of all, no plastic bottles to dispose of. The only upkeep is exchanging empty CO2 cylinders every 110 liters, using prepaid UPS shipping boxes.
SodaStream offers soda concentrates in flavors like classic cola, root beer, and diet pink grapefruit, but I'm enjoying sparkling water mixed with last summer's Sunshine Rhubarb Juice and Strawberry Lemonade. I'll take the occasional homemade sugary beverage over diet sodas full of mystery dyes and sweeteners. Sometimes I jazz up plain sparkling water with fruit instead. Blueberries look elegant in the bottom of a martini glass:
If you're a fan of bubbles, or are trying to cut back on soda, the Penguin is fun, convenient, and will save you money in the long run. See the SodaStream website for photos and videos of the Penguin and other seltzer-making gadgets.
____________________________________________________A word about product reviews: Occasionally I receive invitations to try products free of charge and review them on my blog. So far, I've yet to take any companies up on these offers, because I didn't feel the products were a good fit. They were either: 1. not vegan,
2. not gluten-free, or
3. not something I could imagine using in real life. So far, all reviews have been unsolicited and products have been purchased with My Own Money. I'd love it if some Lärabars and a Tofu Xpress came pouring in free of charge, but no such luck so far. If, in the future, I do review a product I've received for free, I'll let you know, for I am a pillar of integrity.

the lifebloom change is great... free's up some room for the stampeeding roar glyph (more range), or the healing touch (to better time up a SOFT WG?) which will go well with our set bonus that makes HT faster cast time/less mana....or maybe even the new swiftmend glyph if that happens.
Also the legendary cloak is looking really strong for us with our hots doing high over healing. I disagree with the 5 target cap thing tho... its gonna be rly strong in 10man but kinda crap in 25 again

Nine Reasons Why the Enterprise Loves the iPad
Longer PC Refresh Times With iPads in the enterprise, Apple is able to dramatically improve PC refresh times in the corporate world. Apple enables companies to hold off a year or two from buying new computers because employees have an iPad that can allow them to handle the latest tasks. That's a welcome money-saver for IT budgets.
Apple has been a quandary for some in the technology industry. On one hand, the company's products are ideal for consumers who want (and can afford) elegant, intuitive and easy-to-use devices. On the other hand, Apple has frequently said that it wants to appeal to all customers, including the enterprise, but its policies, products and services over the years, however, haven't consistently backed up that claim.
Yet, it appears Apple has found a way to not only appeal to enterprise users, but to also deliver the high-quality products that those companies desire. And chief among Apple's enterprise-popular devices is the iPad. The slender tablet, which launched in 2010, has gone from being one of the most exciting mobile products for consumers to one that has increasingly seduced corporate users. All the while, Apple has made clear that it wants enterprise users to incorporate its iPads in the workforce.
Late last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that nearly every company in the Fortune 500 has adopted the iPad or is testing to see if it's right for their company. Meanwhile, the majority of school districts across the U.S. have adopted the iPad for classroom use. Given Apple's success in the overseas corporate market, it appears that the iPad has earned its stripes as the business world's favorite slate. Here's the story of how that happened.

WSSD Preparatory Meeting New York 29 January 2002
- Excellencies, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen
In mapping our future towards the WSSD and beyond, we should recall the vision presented in the Malmö Ministerial Declaration, which emphasized that:
"At the dawn of this new century, we have at our disposal the human and material resources to achieve sustainable development, not as an abstract concept but as a concrete reality. The unprecedented developments in production and information technologies, the emergence of a younger generation with a clear sense of optimism, solidarity and values, women increasingly aware and with an enhanced and active role in society - all point to the emergence of a new consciousness. We can decrease poverty by half by 2015 without degrading the environment, we can ensure environmental security through early warning, we can better integrate environmental considerations in economic policy, we can better coordinate legal instruments and we can realize a vision of a world without slums. We commit ourselves to realizing this common vision."
This vision of opportunities and optimism should guide us towards the WSSD and beyond.
The theme of the Stockholm Conference in 1972 was the human environment. Its outcome was the establishment of UNEP. The Rio Summit in 1992 on environment and development, and was based on the overarching concept of sustainable development. In follow up to the Rio Summit the Commission on Sustainable Development was established.
The Johannesburg Summit is about sustainable development. The Summit has four important features.
- It should be the Summit of implementation. There is the urgent need to address the gaps between the commitment and implementation. The Summit should become a milestone for breathing new life into the implementation of Agenda 21, and other outcomes of the Rio Summit.
- It should be the Summit of partnership. Local, national, regional and global partnership should be strengthened among governments, organizations and all stakeholders.
- It should be the Summit of responsibly prosperity and opportunities for all. Clear commitment should be made to eradicate poverty. Globalization must the benefit all. Environmentally responsible action should generate a sound environmental resource basis for promoting equity and equality in economic and social development.
- It should be the Summit of integration. Environmental policies and economic and social development policies should become more coherent, and integrated into policies for sustainable development.
Overall, it should be the Summit for concrete action to realize those goals. A Johannesburg Programme of Action or a "Global Pact" should be developed, setting out targets with measurable benchmarks.
Ten issues should be addressed in determining the components of the programme of action or the Pact. UNEP has been working actively on these issues, and looks forward to contributing to the WSSD, and its outcomes.
Firstly, assessment and monitoring of global changes should be strengthened. We need to map the future course of action and policies on the basis of scientific information and analysis. IPCC has been an excellent example of the science-policy linkages to address global climate change. Millennium Eco-system Assessment is another good example of important assessment of ecosystems. GEO-3 provides an authoritative assessment of global environmental changes and implications of such changes for policy-making purposes.
Secondly, we cannot over-emphasize the importance of capacity building. Capacity building should be further promoted at all levels in all pillars of sustainable development. The GEO process has involved a network of assessment and monitoring in countries around the world, and contributed to enhancing capacities of participating institutions in developing countries, and countries with economies in transition. UNEP provides national governments with advice on policy, law, technology, and in key areas of institution building, and environmental management. We will work further to ensure that environmental policy works for sustainable development
Thirdly, technology progress and scientific findings must be used for the benefit of all humanity. Technology can help find a solution, if there is information on its availability, and terms of transfer. UNEP through its International Environment Technology Centre in Osaka, Japan seeks to overcome this barrier. The use of technology is linked to scientific analysis, risk assessment and awareness, and ethical responsibility. Clean production, increasing energy efficiency, decreasing wastes and better use of water - all require environmentally sound and responsible use of technology, and technology transfer.
Fourthly, the links, between health and the environment, need to be addressed. Water is a primary concern, as it sustains peoples' living and welfare, and enables them to work for economic and social development. Water is critical also for sustaining the environment, and its sustainable resources, which are the basis for economic and social development. A plan of action should be developed to provide legal and technical assistance for better use of water resources. UNEP is working to address these problems, through integrated water resources management. UNEP's Water Policy provides a strategic direction for its work on water. The regional seas programmes and the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities provide concrete measures to address the interface between freshwater, coastal areas management, and marine environment.
Hazardous chemicals is another critical issue, impacting on human health and the environment. UNEP has been active in this field to promote environmentally sound management of such chemicals. UNEP promoted the development and implementation of Rotterdam Convention on Prior Informed Consent (together with FAO) and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. UNEP works with WHO for the reduction of reliance on DDT. UNEP is taking action also on the problems of lead in gasoline and mercury.
Fifthly, we need to address environment and food security. 75% of the world's poor live in rural areas - They depend completely on agriculture for sustenance. Sustainable agriculture depends on the proper use of the environment as common asset, avoiding deforestation, desertification and water pollution. In addition water supplies and irrigation must be managed efficiently to ensure optimum results. There must be a comprehensive assessment of all land-related issues. The advantages of the biotechnology should be affordable and made available to developing countries- while ensuring that those countries have the ability to assess the risks, and benefits, of genetically engineered crops. 1,000 million people worldwide depend on fish for food. Over-fishing, aquaculture, subsidies, and the opening up of coastal waters to developed countries are putting that food supply in jeopardy. This represents another dimension of sustainable management and use of marine environmental resources and the need for protecting the areas where they live.
Sixthly, we need to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force, for all the people of the world. UNEP has been engaged in the integration of environmental considerations, into macro-economic, and trade policy. Technical assistance on trade is required. For this purpose, the UNEP-UNCTAD Capacity Building Taskforce on Trade and Environment, can play an important role. The outcome of the WTO Ministerial Meeting in Doha is the basis for constructive dialogue on trade/development/environment issues. The private sector should be further encouraged to strengthen their initiatives for undertaking environmental responsibilities, for example through the Global Compact, the Global Reporting Initiative and voluntary codes of conduct.
Seventhly, we should address the question of diversity. The cost of globalization should not be the loss of thousands of indigenous cultures, and their traditions. Spiritual values, cultural diversity, respect for human rights, and indigenous knowledge, can contribute positively, to the formulation of a new environmental ethic, for the twenty-first century.
Eighthly, urbanization poses a major challenge in both developed and developing countries. Problems includes urban households living in absolute poverty, the environmental hazards of lack of access to clean water and sanitation, and disposal of waste. Working with UN-Habitat, UNEP has been tackling these issues through a number of projects.
Ninthly, energy and energy efficiency, in relation to all aspects of sustainable development, should be addressed. It is an issue both for urban and rural areas. Over 2 billion people in developing countries have no access to modern energy - without energy the poor of the world have no means to move forward. Renewable energy, at an affordable price, is essential for economic development. UNEP is active in providing capacity building in this field through its network of Renewable Energy Centres.
Tenthly, we need to provide solutions for the means of implementing the commitment. Financial basis for sustainable development should be secured and shared by all concerned. Foreign direct investment, debt relief, ODA - all need to be addressed. Partnership with civil society organizations and the private sector is increasingly becoming important.
Overall, the Johannesburg Summit should be an important milestone to build a sustainable world based on concrete action and renewed political commitment.

We love editorials that don't appear too forced (though the occasional awkward, stiff model in a ballgown is fun, we're sorta free-spirited here at DT). This denim-clad ed in Oyster Magazine hits the nail on the head, featuring Ashley Smith chain smoking and having fun on a summer road trip, shot by Jason Lee Parry. Her gap-toothed grin and excessive jewelry are a refreshing departure from, say, editorials like this, which are denim-rich but lacking a certain genuine joviality that we associate with wearing our favorite fabric. Ashley rocks a variety of denim trends, from printed colored jeans to patchwork mom-jeans and a perfect worn-in, dirty denim workshirt. Take a mini mental vacation today and check out the images below.

One thing I have noticed over the thirty years I have been playing guitar is that guitars have their own sound no doubt, but amplifiers do "reproduce" the sound of the electric guitars differently. Case in point, the Les Paul guitar coming out of a vintage Marshall an amp with plenty of treble, sounds fat yet cuts through nicely. I believe the same thing for a Les Paul running through a blackface Super Reverb, it cuts beautifully. Put that same Paul through say a Tweed Pro or a first run Ampeg Reverberocket and it sounds muddy and has trouble cutting through especially using the neck pickup. IMHO a sure test of a good Paul is does the neck pickup have some bite to it.

Tuesday of Prodigal Son
The Gospel according to Mark 13:14-23
The Lord said to his disciples, "When you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by Daniel the prophet, set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away; and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! Pray that it may not happen in winter. For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be. And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand."

If you have a melon baller, use it to make the indentations in the cupcakes.
Dipping the cupcakes into frosting is easiest if there's plenty of frosting, so you may have frosting left. Frost graham crackers with the rest of it for a treat later.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

LITTLETON — Some of Class 5A's best golfers swung through Raccoon Creek Golf Course for what turned out to be a dramatic finish at regionals Saturday.
5A Jeffco dominated the tournament but the best was saved for last as Columbine's Jaylee Tait erased a three-shot deficit over the final six holes for a comeback victory over Dakota Ridge's Sydney Merchant.
Tait made her final putt and then cheered as a crowd applauded her 74 score comeback win.
"I knew if I stayed focused and kept playing smart golf that I would have a chance to win," Tait said.
Merchant finished with a 77. But Jeffco golfers dominated the day on the challenging Raccoon Creek course.
Arvada West's Ali Peper qualified for the state tournament with her 87, which was good enough for a fourth-place finish.
Pomona's Zarena Brown finished tied for fifth at 88 with Ralston Valley's Ashlyn Kirschner.
After a forgettable front nine, Kirschner turned it on the back nine and shot a 39, which catapulted her up the
"I am definitely proud of the way we golfed today. There are so many great players out here that you have to keep fighting, and I think we did that today," Ralston Valley coach David Butler said.
5A Jeffco accounted for all top six shooters at the regional. A complete list will be posted online as it comes available.

Air New Zealand Labelled "Perennial Pinocchios" By Pacific Blue23/07/2008
Pacific Blue has labelled Air New Zealand's latest odd media release the work of a "Perennial Pinocchio" once again trying to pull the wool over consumers' eyes by claiming it offers value for money when the exact opposite is true.
"Really they should stop wasting their time on PR spin, smoke and mirrors and put some effort into fair competition, rather than a poor attempt to mislead air travellers," Pacific Blue General Manager, Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns said.
In a media statement today Air New Zealand alleged that Pacific Blue's new domestic baggage charge of $8 for 23kg, to begin in September, will make it more expensive for travellers to fly. This is rejected by the airline.
"This is another example of Air New Zealand crying foul when it has no moral authority to do so. Less than 2% of people carry more than 23 kg of baggage and the fare comparisons speak for themselves, but I guess it's all just part of the national airline attempting to divert attention from its continual gouging for domestic air travel and the negative effect this has on the New Zealand economy.
"What a load of rubbish, a simple price comparison between us dispels this claim," said Mr Hamilton-Manns said.
"For example, Pacific Blue is offering fares on its midday Auckland-Wellington service tomorrow for $65.95 one way. Air New Zealand is charging $348 for a flight that is departing at the same time. You'd have to carry a helluva lot of baggage to be worse off than paying Air New Zealand's fare!"
"With Air New Zealand you can pay $348 to get from Auckland to Wellington or with us you can pay $65.95. With our new charge then the price would be $73.95 if you had 23 kg of baggage. Does Air NZ really think Kiwis can't see who is really ripping off customers?" asks Mr Hamilton-Manns.
"Before Pacific Blue brought competition to the market the joke was that Air New Zealand's slogan was not "Amazing journeys. Every day." but "Amazingly expensive journeys. Every day." said Mr Hamilton-Manns. " They really don't seem to like competing with a true low-fare carrier."
"This is yet another move from the established bully boy to try and harm us. Well, it won't work."
Pacific Blue said its highest fare on the Auckland-Wellington sector was $259.95, which includes 32kg of baggage, and was nearly half the price of Air New Zealand's highest fare on the same route, which is over $500.
"Even when you pay the $500 you don't get any extras like lounge access or valet parking. You're not even assured of getting a cookie. But what really hurts the travelling public is Air New Zealand's unfair Airpoints program, which they often won't reward you even when you've paid through the nose for the fare."
Pacific Blue said Air New Zealand had lost its way in the market and didn't know where to turn.
A great example of how out of touch Air New Zealand had become was its current online advertising in Australia for a 72-hour sale, which features a map showing that Christchurch is located somewhere south of Dunedin.
"It's symptomatic of Air New Zealand. They've got their way for so long, they think they can even shift a major New Zealand city without anyone noticing."
"Today's media statement is amusing, our PR team is filing them in a book of audacious claims. But really it's just another example of Air New Zealand flailing around taking pot shots at a true low-fare airline when it should really be concentrating on lowering New Zealand regional airfares, where it still runs a lucrative monopoly."

CHICAGO - Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) service centers will be closed on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 22 and 23, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Regular office hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, will resume Monday, Nov. 26.
Although IDES offices will be closed, services will be available at www.ides.illinois.gov People still will be able to file for first-time unemployment benefits, certify for benefits which is necessary to receive payment, and switch that method of payment to direct deposit. Because Thursday is a federal banking holiday, the availability of some benefit payments might be delayed. The IDES does not determine federal banking holidays.
The IDES encourages direct deposit. Direct deposit is a simple, smart and secure way to receive benefits. Debit cards also are available. There are no fees associated with a debit card at point-of-service counters that accept MasterCard, such as grocery stores, drug stores and convenience stores. Customers can request cash back after qualifying purchases. Fees likely will be assessed when using out-of-network ATM machines.
The IDES brings together job seekers and employers. In Illinois, there are more than 120,000 help-wanted ads on the IDES' Illinoisjoblink.com

Further Adventures (Paperback)
To Whom It May Concern--I was The Green Ray. Now it can be told--the story which many tried to silence, many refused to believe, and many did not want to hear.
In the depths of the Great Depression, the voice of a radio superhero known as The Green Ray entertained America. Forty years later, the man behind the character--two-bit voice actor Ray Green, known to his family as Reuven Agranovsky--is caught in an all-night blackout in the desert town of Mason, New Mexico, where a chain of events is set in motion that forces The Green Ray out of retirement. But at seventy-three, Ray faces a different--and far more terrifying--world.
A wildly inventive, raucously funny novel of heroism, neurosis, and transcendence, Further Adventures was ahead of its time when it was first published fifteen years ago. Like Ray Green himself, it now reemerges in a newly revised "author's cut" for a new generation of readers.
Praise For…
"A stylistic tour de force....engagingly comic, hypnotically seductive...an authentically psychotic monologue [blending] the bombastic strains of superhero fantasia and a familiar streak of ironic Jewish pragmatism....charismatic."
-Madison Smartt Bell, New York Times
"Extraordinary. . . . The novel that's surprised and impressed me most this year."
-Douglas Adams, "Books of the Year," The Guardian (UK)
"Dazzling. . . . never loses [its] light touch. . . . Fink not only faithfully recreates the old world of radio serials, but also brings his naïve main character into the morally ambiguous 1980s and gives him a sad, stubborn dignity."
-Chris Petrakos, Chicago Tribune
"Marvelous. …[its] two plots, past and present, trot in and out of the ring like trick ponies, carrying an impossibly colorful but appealing cast of characters.…The plot is as absurd as it is intricate…it's fun and sad at the same time.
-Terry Bisson, Washington Post
"Impressive. . . . Fink has a fine ear for dialogue [and] Ray Green is a truly original creation."
-Time Out London
"A freewheeling, high-energy tour de force. . . . Breathtaking in its juxtaposition of wisecracks and tragedy, with a veritable Don Quixote running loose in the American Southwest: a distinctive debut."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Adventures uses Green's semi-literate style to beautiful effect. . . . Further Adventures is creative, wrenching, even funny—an intelligent look at pop morality taken to its logical extreme."
-James Poniewozic, New York Perspectives

If Jeff Skinner is worth $34.35 million to the Carolina Hurricanes two years into his NHL entry level contract, what are Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle worth to the Edmonton Oilers?
With Carolina and Skinner, who is represented by agent Bobby Orr, having put the finishing touches on a six-year contract extension that will take him through the 2018-19 season, Hall and Eberle are about to become very wealthy young men. The only question, really, is when that happens.
With a new CBA yet to be negotiated between NHL teams and the NHLPA, should the Oilers put pen to paper with Hall and Eberle two years into their entry level deals and take care of business now, or should they wait? Pay them now or pay them later? How much? Over to you, Steve Tambellini.
Side by side in big boy beds, they're both rich, it's Hall and Ebs.
What makes the discussion about Skinner's deal as it relates to Hall and Eberle is the three players are absolute comparables in terms of draft pedigree, age and performance since entering the NHL.
Skinner, 20, drafted seventh overall by Carolina in 2010, has scored 51-56-107 in 146 games, which puts him at .73 PPG. He won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. That's worth $4.350 million to GM Jim Rutherford for 2013-14 and $6 million a season for the rest of the term.
Hall, 20, selected first overall by the Oilers in 2010, has scored 49-46-95 in 126 games with the Oilers, which puts the dynamic left winger at .75 PPG despite considerable time missed in his first two seasons.
Eberle, 22, taken 22nd overall by the Oilers in the 2008 Entry Draft, has the best numbers of the trio. The former Regina Pat is coming off a 76-point season and has tallied 52-67-119 in 147 games, or .81 PPG.
While you can debate the merits of each player on a number of levels and try to predict how their careers will unfold – I happen to believe Eberle will be the best of the bunch in terms of offensive production – there is one certainty and that is the minimum price point for Hall and Eberle was set today.
Might Tambellini already be on the phone with Orr, who also represents Hall, and Eberle's agent looking to do business now? Might we be in for some real news in what's been a decidedly slow several weeks?
Bidding opens at $34.35 million. When it opens is the question.

I am not opposed to signing them now if they would agree to a discounted 5-6 million deal.
That being said there has already been much written of the chance/likelyhood that Eberle's points will go down. Couple that with the fact that Hall is recovering from shoulder surgery and has had to signifigantly alter his off season training, and the up coming CBA changes.
I think it would be prudent to call a meeting and suggest matching contracts of $5 million each for 5-10 years with the preference being the longer term. If they say no then say you want to see the outcome of the CBA talks before negotiating further on the contracts.
If Gagner slept with your girlfriend, the only thing you would complain about is that Wellwood could have done a better job.
Best response EVER lol
August 08 2012, 01:32PM
J Schultz
Ahhhh. I'm going to wait until this season plays itself out before I add him to the list. I would love for him to do enough to be added along side the others.
August 08 2012, 01:35PM
Look at all the $$$$$$.Now wheres that towel again.
... madjam where'd u put all the avatars? it's cool the way you made them disappear...can y'do anything 'bout our GM?
I think he is not in control-just a lame duck GM . Others seem to making the major decisions while he is relagated to those aspects he can do well at ? He seems more like a Vp than a full fledged GM . I could be wrong ,but his position seems limited .
As JW wisely notes, signing them now would be a huge gamble on how the CBA turns out, although Oil management has the advantage of knowing far more about how far the owners are willing to bend on these issues and hence how they are likely to turn out.
As things stand some posters seem to be living in lala land. If you do sign Hall and Ebs long-term it should be well into their free agent years, 8 to 10, and anything less than $6.5 million per year average is fantasy. As things stand. Perhaps under a new CBA you can get less, or maybe have to pay more. On the other hand you might be limited to a five year max as well. The NYI were very smart and lucky with the Taveras deal, which is now at least $1 million per year under what they would have to pay him now. Expecting Taveras money for Hall and Eberle now is like expecting Gordie Howe money. Ain't happening.
Waiting for January or until the end of next season is also a gamble of course. The Skinner signing indicates the Canes do not see a changing market coming as the deal is perfectly in line with immediately previous ones.
I guess it depends on what motivates these guys. Cash or championships. They could be on the cusp of a dynasty, or islanders west. A couple of these could turn into rick dipietro.
August 08 2012, 05:44PM
It would be nice to lock at least one of them in right now. As far as value goes, I would like to see Hall locked up now. I just get the feeling that if he stays healthy, he is in for a big season. I don't think that Eberle's point totals will drop dramatically but I don't see his value going up as much as Hall's could.
August 08 2012, 06:45PM
It's obvious that Hall and Eberle, injuries, singular hot seasons respected, should be signed to this type of deal. In my opinion Eberle and Hall > Skinner (love the kid nothing personal). Its obvious sign these guys. Yep, you can play it prudent, and in business, as in life, that will limit your downside, but will do absolutely nothing for your upside.
We all have this question for management. Where are your balls? With these 1st rounders, do you really believe, or are you still playing around below he belt?
Two choices, and I hope they don't out think themselves, 1) get on with business, believe in this team or 2) be paralized with fear.
August 08 2012, 06:59PM
If he blows them out of the water then he's earned a superior contract and should be paid accordingly.
That said, how on earth would putting up 60+ blur the line?
Sorry. That meant to be 90.You're right, 60 points wouldn't blur anything.
All I'm saying is it would be nice to have these two locked up already when we have to pay Nugent-Hopkins 7-8 million a year next:)

Employees, investors and other parties often purchase or are granted stock options in a particular company. Options can be either "call" or "put" options, meaning that the holder is given the right to buy (call) or sell (put) the company's stock at a designated price. For a call option, the announcement of a dividend will raise the option's price, and it will cause the price of a put option to fall.
A dividend is a payment that a company makes to its shareholders representing profits earned by the company. The amount of the dividend depends on its policies as well as its financial success during a particular accounting period. Usually, dividends are paid quarterly. A stockholder receives a dividend for every share of stock owned, which means that larger shareholders profit more from dividend payments than others.
Stock Price
If a company announces an unexpected dividend, or the dividend announced is larger than the market expected, the company's share price will typically go up. This is because the market is factoring into the price of the stock the amount that the stockholder will receive when the dividend is paid. Conversely, if the dividend is less than the market expected, this news can cause the stock price to go down.
Options Prices
The price of an option is directly related to a company's stock price. If the option is a call option, then the two share a direct relationship: as the price of the stock rises, the price of the option also rises. With a put option, a rise in the stock price will make the option less valuable. Dividends, unless they are less than the market expected, will cause a call option to rise in price.
Ex-Dividend Date
Once a dividend has been announced and paid, the price of the stock option drops again, as the dividend is no longer a factor in the price of the stock. This is because, once an investor has been paid, the stock no longer reflects the expectation of the dividend. Consequently, the boost in the option price caused by the dividend is only temporary.

Adding Eloy to watcher list.
Hi Eloy,
When you have a chance could you take a look the patch and provide some feedback?
Course view section is now restored properly, however the information column still displaying the courseID instead of name.
Will keep working and do more test on this.
Hi Rossie,
in the info field you can put 2 different things:
A) One literal, so it will be shown en the log reports as introduced.
B) One id, so it will be matched, with the rules defined @ lib/db/log.php (mdl_log_display), to find the proper description to be shown.
The main advantage of using literals - option A - is that they remain constant along the time and don't consume any DB query. In the other side, if you change, for example, the course title and you're using literals, the log report will continue showing the old name.
And the main advantage of using ids + log_display is that they are dynamic, so one change in the source will be displayed immediately in the log reports, although they are slower, consuming one extra DB query to do so.
So, back to this issue, I think that you need to:
1) Both for "view" and "view section" actions, use approach B), the dynamic.
2) Create one new variable, $infoid that, in the case of the "view" action will contain the course->id and in the case of the "view" section will contain the section->id (note it's not the section number, but the section id.
3) Pass always that $infoid variable to the add_to_log() call.
4) Edit lib/db/log.php and add one entry for the 'view section' action. It will point to the "course_sections" table and to the "name" field. Note that there is already there the "view" action, defined to use course->id and return course->fullname (in fact your current patch is breaking that, because on it you've switched to approach B) (harcoded string).
5) Bump version, upgrade and generate some log entries.
6) Verify that both the course name and the section name are shown as expected.
Hope this explains the 2 logging alternatives and how to implement the B) one for this case.
About the backup & restore code, it looks good. If it works, then perfect!
Trick: In case you want to show the section number in case the section name is empty... you can use SQL framents like:
field'=>'COALESCE(name, section)';
Anything valid in a SELECT clause can be used there, just imagine that Moodle is going to create the query:
SELECT $field
FROM $mtable
WHERE id = $infoid
Thanks Eloy for the feedback.
I updated the patch according to your suggestion.
Please take a look and let me know if it is correct.
Looks perfect, IMO +1
with one tiny detail... I think that enclosing "$infoid" with quotes is completely useless. We have dozens of calls without it.
Thanks Eloy for reviewing.
Updated the patch to remove quote for $infoid.
Submitting for integration review.
Thanks Rossi, this has been integrated now.
Would you mind adding test instructions ASAP please.
I am getting the following error:-
Table "course_section" does not exist
Table name should be course_sections.
Failing this.Sorry.
Thanks Ankit for testing this.
Patch has been updated.
Please reset the test. Thanks integrator
Thanks guys, I've cherry-picked the commit to fix and this is ready for testing again.
Thanks Ankit. I'm working with Eloy right now to figure out the issue.
Aha, I think I found the logical explanation for the problem.
1) In the example backup file you sent me, that "view section" log record corresponds to userid = 2. I bet it's the admin user.
2) The user with id = 2 is not included in the backup, because there is no real course data (forum posts...) with such user being the participant.
3) On restore of logs, see both restore_course_logs_structure_step and restore_activity_logs_structure_step, we verify that the user is a restored one before proceeding to decode the log entries. As far as such user does not exist in the restore, the record is skipped.
So I think the operation is performing ok. Just try one of this (or all):
a) as admin, make some forum post in the course. That will cause such user to be considered a participant in the course and start being included in backup. So then, his/her related logs will be restored.
b) in the backup file, change the "userid" of that log entry from "2" to "3", that is one user already included in the backup.
c) logged as one teacher or student, go navigate to the section XX so some log entry is generated for that user and the "view section" action.
And then, try to restore. As far as the user in the log record is now a "processed" one, his/her log action will be restored ok, including the "view section" action.
Mystery solved, I hope! Ciao
PS: Don't forget to change the restore rule specifications, because the 4th param needs to be 'course_section' in order to get the info column matched and the log entry restored properly.
Thanks Eloy for your feedback.
I updated the patch according to your suggestion.
Will ask integrator to push it for integration.
Thanks Rossi, I've cherry-picked the last commit again. Its up for testing once more
Your work has made into the latest Moodle release!

American Samplers
The earliest known American sampler was made by Loara Standish of the Plymouth Colony about 1645. By the 1700s, samplers depicting alphabets and numerals were worked by young women to learn the basic needlework skills needed to operate the family household. By the late 1700s and early 1800s, schools or academies for well-to-do young women flourished, and more elaborate pieces with decorative motifs such as verses, flowers, houses, religious, pastoral, and/or mourning scenes were being stitched. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their work, talent, and status.
In recent years, samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Many are signed, and some are inscribed with locations and the names of teachers and schools. The emergence of large numbers of these samplers has resulted in much research in diaries, account books, letters, newspaper ads, local histories, and published commentary that is helping to illuminate the lives of women in early America.
Many early samplers do not have the letters "J" and "U" in their alphabets because they were not part of the early Latin alphabet and so the letter "I" was used for "J" and the "V" for "U." The letter "s" is often replaced with the printers "s" which looks like the modern f.
There are 137 American samplers in the Textile Collection. The first was donated in 1886, the Margaret Dinsmoor sampler. In the 1890s the Copp Collection was received and it contained two samplers—one by Esther Copp and the other by her great niece Phebe Esther Copp. (The Copp Collection is an extensive collection of 18th-and 19th- century household textiles, costume items, furniture, and other pieces belonging to the Copps, a prosperous but frugal Connecticut family.) The earliest dated sampler in the collection was made in 1735 by Lydia Dickman of Boston, Massachusetts.

FGD: One Tin Soldier - The Legend of City Yak
Vintage Flame
April 01 2013 04:10PM
After Shelbyville showed us all that even a broken clock is right twice a day, the Battle of Alberta gamethread is back where it belongs. Oh and if you don't get the reference in the title? Google is your friend.
Tonight, two teams on completely different roads will cross paths once again, where scoreboard watching will be put aside in favour of compulsory disdain and a sheer desire to lay the boots to one of your oldest rivals. Since 2009, it has been the Flames doing the majority of kicking, leading the head-to-head series 19-4.
Much has changed since the Flames and the Oilers last met on January 27th (when the good guys won 4-3), as Calgary seems to have taken a page out of the Oilers operational book and are on a slide towards the bottom of the league. The Oilers, meanwhile, are on the cusp of making a push towards unfamiliar territory of their own… the playoffs.
Somehow it seems fitting that these two squads would meet up today, April 1st. What has in recent history been dubbed the "Battle of Albrutal", where either team is in the standings has been irrelevant because neither ever wants to lose this match-up, neither want to be the fool.
The Line-Up
We all know who the obvious loss to the lineup is, but we shouldn't forget who still is. Curtis Glencross loves himself a piece of the Oilers whenever the chance presents itself.
The Flames lineup is probably written in pencil, due to wide speculation around who might be staying and who might be leaving. Fronting the list is Jay Bouwmeester, with destinations including both Detroit and St. Louis. Others that are also coming up to be on the move are the likes of Tanguay, Sarich, Cammallerri and of course Glencross.
Very few are safe these days and there is going to be a lot of speculation leading right up to April 3rd. For now, here's how SNET's Pat Steinberg has the lines shaping up.
- Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
- Tanguay-Cammallerri-Comeau
- Hudler-Backlund-Cervenka
- McGrattan-Begin-Jackman
- Brodie-Bouwmeester
- Giordano-Wideman
- Butler-Sarich
- Kiprusoff
The Oilers have to be licking their chops at the thought of facing Miikka Kiprusoff tonight with his less than stellar performance between the pipes this year. However he is also 15-2 in his last 17 starts against Edmonton with a 2.43 GAA. He will have to be "that guy" tonight in order to give his team a legit chance at putting a dent in the Oilers' playoff hopes.
It will also be very interesting to see how long Hartley leaves the Czech's with Backlund. Cervenka has been playing with a lot more confidence and certainty in the month of March, and Backlund's creative and bold play is an interesting match that has the potential to pay dividends.
The Village Idiots
The Oil have won three straight for the first time this season. That is part of a 6-2-2 record in their last ten that has them sitting 11th in the conference, just two points out of the top eight.
An Edmonton Oilers Signing Alert has to be sponsored by Rexall Drugs, right? RIGHT?!?— The Royal Half (@theroyalhalf) April 1, 2013
It's no secret that the Oilers' Achilles heel (other than playing in the NHL) has been from the blueline. This morning they penned Ladislav Smid to a four year extension with an AAV of $3.5 Million. That's sure to be enough to put them over the hump right? Relax Shelbyville dwellers, we know, we know… "Laddy" is a great shot-blocker and he has all the intangibles right? RIGHT?
It's a good thing the defence is all sorted out, now Ralph Kreuger can figure what the hell is wrong with his highly touted offensive talent. "Yak City" is more of a ghost town these days, registering just one assist in his last five games and hasn't been part of the Oilers late push. In fact he hasn't found the back of the net since February 25th, and only has 5 assists during the entire month of March.
Things aren't that rosy for RNH this season either. The young center has a meagre three goals on sixty-six shots, giving him a whopping personal shooting percentage of 3.0%. That's a far cry from last season's 13.4% pace. Then again, I suppose it's okay to fall off a cliff when you know you will safely land on the coat-tails of Taylor Hall. Well done Nuuuuuuge.
- Hall-Nugent-Hopkins-Eberle
- Paajarvi-Gagner-Hemsky
- Jones-Horcoff-Yakupov
- Petrell-Smyth-Brown
- Smid-Petry
- N. Schultz-J. Schultz
- Whitney-Potter
- Dubnyk
Sum it Up
Game Day Prediction: The Flames scrape the barrel for what remaining ounce of dignity they have left and continue the Alberta trend by winning this one 5-3; snapping their road loss streak at nine.
Obvious Game Day Prediction: Curtis Glencross sticks it once again to the team that let him go, showing two versions of his infamous "Scoreface"
Not-so-Obvious Game Day Prediction: Hot on the heels of scoring his fastest hat-trick in Oilers history, Taylor Hall is about due for some mis-hap that has always seem to keep him out of games against Calgary. Tonight will be no different as he and his buck-toothed face will be mistaken for the Easter Bunny, so all the other barely pubescent children on the team will bug him about not getting enough candy this weekend.
I bet @vintage_flame is really excited to watch his team suck the hind banana tonight! #GOilers— edmontoncritic (@edmontoncritic) April 1, 2013
What makes this whole situation really funny is that the average Oil fan is like some giddy, pimpled-faced nerd who finally landed that date with his lab partner's sister. They say they have been waiting for this day, this day of retribution. When all the stars are aligned and the Oil can take back the pride that the Flames have, for the last decade or so, used to clean their skate blades after the game.
Newsflash… We know, we've seen this coming for a long time too guys. What makes it funny though is that despite everything, the losses, the bad trades, the injuries… whatever you want to jeer Calgary about this time, they just keep beating the Oilers.
These days, for Flames fans.. that's not quitte enough for now. However, for added entertainment, Flames fans appreciate the fans up North, the ones that are convinced that this is finally it. The time for the Oilers to take that step forward out of the mire and take their rightful place at the fornt of the class. That's just awesome and I sincerely hope the Oilers do make the playoffs this year. It will make it that much better when they are bounced decisively and the Oilers management is left shaking their heads as to what went wrong.
One last thing…
Will there be enough Quebec high school kids available for all of these Flames draft picks?
April 01 2013, 11:21PM
No, they may have to go seriously off board to get enough of them...

Eat sh*t Calgary!!
April 01 2013, 11:51PM
You flap your gums so much you think one intelligent thing would eventual come out, but nothing does.
When it comes time to admit you are wrong on something that you have quoted before you are never around to say anything. This happens a lot.
...Kiprusoff is not fetching you a first round pick. You are stuck with him now.
It's pretty apparently (( to me at least )) just how important iggy really was to the flames. Boumeester and kipper too. Too bad for you guys kipper just looked terrible tonight lol. Gl with the upcoming rebuild. The plunging spiral downward isn't gonna fun at all :(
April 01 2013, 11:52PM
I'm guessing its because you're an idiot.
Wow, what a turnaround - look at what DSF has been reduced to - he is now officially less witty and entertaining than NewAgeSystem.
and about a 1000 words less
poor DSF is Mom/Dad disconnecting the WiFi too?
April 01 2013, 11:58PM
The Oilers puck possession game has been steadily improving. They're still coughing it up on the boards in their own zone, unfortunately due to the lack of talent on the back end, but it's a breath of fresh air from a team that's been a one dimensional chip-up-the-boards-team the past 5 years.
I hate to admit it but I'm beginning to appreciate Kreug's system.
Still, I wish there was more physical retaliation out of this team. Cowgary just hammered at them for the last 10 minutes and the Oil just kept taking it. Feed them a pack of starving, ravenous wolves: I want the taste of blood on their tongues when they play rematch games Wed and Thurs.
Just heard Jay-Bo wanted out of Calgary or preferred to play for another team in the playoffs. Hard for Feaster to get more from other teams when Jay-Bo would be willing to part with Calgary. You can't keep a player who doesn't want to be here.
DSF, you seem to be holding on to the thinnest of logic at best. Do you ever feel helpless, emotionally overwhelmed or numb? Welcome to the life of a Flames fan for the next 5 years.
Eat sh*t Calgary!!
Dude, You named yourself after him.... He's obviously doing somthing right.... In other news, I'm glad we play this joke team 2 more times, easy points!
Will there be enough Quebec high school kids available for all of these Flames draft picks?
Any high schoolers last name end in ...owski?
Besides the easy points the flamers are gonna give us to end the season, lets all thank that joke team for trading bouwmeester to st.louis!!! With him on the team it's guaranteed they won't make the playoffs! it's almost like they're cheering us on!
Nice to see the Oilers win another one. Still 13 games left to play, (over 25% of the season), so there is still a lot of room to move in either direction.
I just hope they keep their foot on the gas. It would be gratifying to see the team make it to the playoffs, if only to silence to trolls for a while.
April 02 2013, 06:05AM
Fun to watch these last two games. Still scrambly in our own end too much but great with the puck on our sticks.
Eat sh!t Flames!

Physical retribution is nice, but not at the cost of losing the game
Why give Calgary even a chance of getting back into the game, not the first time I've seen the Oil lose a lead
I'm glad they focus on winning and not at the cost of a dumb penalty for retribution
If you really believe that you get first for Kipper, well you must be high.
There is no market for goalies this year, ask Ottawa.
Cammy is not going anywheres with that contract. Expiring deals only are desirable at this point.
So that top three pick is going to get them a hell of a player. The St. Louis pick and the Pitt pick are likely to be in the 25-30 range and they gave Montreal their pick in round 2.
This is huge for Calgary. But only the their pick likely helps next year. For free agents they are about to receive the same treatment as the Oilers have with free agents and will continue to for the next 3-5 years.
But you are right they will have the cap to draw this out in span of mediocracy that will make us all very happy.
Good day sir.
Enjoy the next ten years of Oiler playoff hockey.

Volunteers install smoke detectors
September 15, 2003
A couple of Portales residents have volunteered to install over 100 smoke detectors in the residences of senior citizens, dedicating time and energy to a recent campaign spearheaded by officials at the Portales Fire Department.
Carl Wilson, a volunteer with the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), has installed about 84 detectors, and Mike Garcia has installed 34 in an effort to earn a badge to enhance his Eagle Scout resume.
Running said the two have been an invaluable asset to the community.
"My plan is to recognize this guy (Wilson) for all the work he's done," Running said.
Running, who himself has installed about 20 detectors, said First Alert donated about 200 smoke detectors and senior citizens needing the detectors can call the fire department and get added to a list.
Running said Garcia is moving to Japan this week and was unaware how he could be reached.
Wilson said he's installing the detectors in an effort to pay back the Portales community.
"I felt there was a lot of people in the community who didn't have the detectors but needed them," Wilson said. "I feel Portales has been good to me ... and this is a way of repaying the community for what they've given to me."
Wilson, a retired farm aid and former employee with the city's street department, noted that his wife Martha Wilson helped him install several of the detectors.
"Carl gives 100 percent plus," said Vonnie Banther, director of RSVP in Roosevelt County. "There's really nothing that we ask him to do that he doesn't do for us."
Banther said senior citizens sign up to have smoke alarms installed or to have existing alarms tested. Carl then calls the seniors on the list to set up appointments.
The smoke alarms are installed free of charge as part of the fire department's Senior Fire Safety Campaign.
Wilson is also a volunteer with a literacy program at Portales schools.
