Top Teachers: Katie Schwieder
Fairfield M.S., sixth grade
On their 20th wedding anniversary, Katie Schwieder and her husband, Wylie, had an epiphany. She had spent her professional life as a banker and corporate trainer, he as a corporate executive. But with their four children finished or nearly finished with their public schooling, Schwieder said, "we decided it was time to give back."
With that, they both quit their jobs to become teachers. Wylie Schwieder is in his third year teaching math at Henrico High School and Katie is in her second teaching English at Fairfield Middle School.
The transition wasn't a difficult one for her.
"In a sense, I've been a teacher my whole life," she said, recalling her days as a branch manager at a Wisconsin bank, then as a corporate trainer who assisted with team development, resolving conflict and customer service issues.
"Every day in the classroom, my customer is that child who's in front of me, and his or her parents," she said. "I always feel like I'm here to serve them. The product is education."
Schwieder feels meant for sixth-graders – students caught in between the regimented schedule of elementary school and the flexibility of high school – as they work to define themselves in a sometimes chaotic blend of emotions.
"They're independent but still children," she said. "They're trying to grow up but really not sure how. They're concerned with having friends, but sometimes they just really need a hug."
English is a natural fit for Schwieder, who grew up with a healthy appetite for reading and writing.
"I'm passionate about helping young people learn to communicate," she said, "to express themselves both in writing and orally in a way that helps them be successful and engage with other people – especially in a world so technologically advanced now."
To that end, Schwieder often builds her lessons around topics that the students themselves select.
One, for example, requires students to write about "My Most Unforgettable Day" – allowing them to recall their most prideful or special moments. Another asks them to address the topic "If I Could I Would" by writing about something they'd love to do.
Schwieder then encourages students to try the things they write about. Last summer, one student took piano lessons as a result. Another went to football camp. A third learned to make jewelry.
"Visiting her classroom, you feel the energy of inspiring lessons and students who want to be the best they can be for her," one nominator wrote of Schwieder.
Schwieder's in-class "book clubs" allow students to discuss books together, then create video commercials, skits or even re-write a book's endings as a group.
By reading Three Cups of Tea – a book by Greg Mortenson about his efforts to establish schools for girls in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan – Fairfield sixth-graders have learned to relate to children their age half a world away.
"I'm trying to open up their minds to the world beyond the East End of Henrico," she said. "I wrote in all my Christmas cards last year that I have found my calling. It's been very rewarding."

Hi all,
I would like to apologize beforehand if there are any spelling mistakes or if my english sounds weird, I'm not quite used to it, anyway :
-Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Samir and I represent the Tanjou-fansub http://www.tanjou-fansubs.net/ -A French anime translation team- and we are currently recruiting a Us/Jap translator to (re)do the first OVA of Kenichi and the second one to be released soon.
-You may ask why do the job again, since there is already a version released by Subdesu and here is my answer : We deem it poorly translated and unworthy of the work of the author (No offence to Subdesu), we would like to do translate it anew and release it in both English and French -and why not in other languages should other foreign teams use our scripts-. So here's the deal : The Tanjou-fansub is willing to co-produce the 2 OVAs with any group/fansub team/or freelance translator ready to do this job, all we ask for is a quality translation, clean and correct, after that, we make it our job to release the English and French version -Contributors will of course be credited-. This can be the beginning of a great partnership and, why not, if a Season 2 is ever produced, we may do it again together. Know that our team is very motivated and that we are all ears to any complaint you might have.
So, if you are interested, please answer this thread or else, contact me at : firstname.lastname@example.com --
Hope it didn't take you too long to read, if so, sorry ^^

Skip to comments.Document: Saddam Ordered Biological And Radiation Test on Presidential Sites Attacked by US in 1998
Posted on 06/21/2006 2:17:48 PM PDT by jveritas
Document ISGP-2003-00300134 contains Top Secret And Personal letters that carry Saddam orders to do radiation and biological testing on the Presidential sites that were attacked by the US in December 1998.
Beginning of translation of the first top secret and personal memo
In the Name of God the Most Merciful The Most Compassionate
Top Secret And Personal
The Republic of Iraq
The Presidential Secretariat
Number: 537304/1
Mr. President The Leader (God Protects Him) Order:
Form committees from the Ministry of Health and the Military Industrialization Commission and The Atomic Energy Organization and The Special Security Service with its missions to test the sites that had been subject to enemy bombardment and inspect for contamination and radiation in particular the Presidential Sites and immediately. Also gather the existing shrapnels and in coordination with Dr. Mona Al Jaboori from the Science Faculty in Baghdad University.
Signature Ahmad Hussein Khadir
End of translation of the first memo
Beginning of translation of the second top secret and personal memo
In the Name of God the Most Merciful The Most Compassionate
Top Secret And Personal
The Republic of Iraq
The Presidential Secretariat
Number: 289
To The Respected Mr. Health Minister
Subject: Order
Following our leeter numbered (5372) on 18/12/1998 an agreement was obtained for the following:
1. Re- Test the sites after the removal of debris.
2. Limit a period of two weeks to a month to take Biological Samples from the sites and return to the periodic testing and in a normal fashion later on.
3. Study the subject of AGM 186 missiles that contain ready round shrapnels and that is used for mass destruction through the targeting of human forces.
Take what is necessary regarding this and inform us with regards
Signature Ahmad Hussein Khadir
End of translation of the second memo
I'm sure it was just to see if the US used nuclear missiles. /s
Why test unless you're worried about the contents (that they supposedly didn't have) within the structures?
Some will interpet this a Saddam believing that the US used weapons that contains nuclear radiation or biological weapons against the palaces, but knowing that Saddam made was ready to be bombed in 1998 to prevent the UN WMD inspectors from searching the Presidential palaces for WMD, and he got bombed indeed, then this document carry a lot of importance.
or biological weapons :)
By the way the Top Secret and Personal letter carried the highest level of secrecy in Saddam regime.
No doubt he was all prepared with the, "I wuz framed" defense if traces of radioactive/biological material were found in the rubble.
Glad Saddamn is gone....thanks for the translation. ;o)
Given the very public information that X42 had used depleted uranium against the Serbs, is it all that unsusual that SH would wonder if we were using similar material against his country?
We need some Freeper volunteers.
I'm worried that if the mounting evidence in these documents starts to make some people uneasy, the documents might suddenly disappear from the internet.
So we should download and save as many of these documents as possible so that Jveritas and eyespysomething and others can continue this important work.
This is what we need:
A. To download and save as many as possible... which means either one of these:
1. Someone with huge amounts of disk storage space who can save them all in one place.
or --
2. A bunch of Freepers to volunteer their time and disk storage space to download these documents.
And if we use option #2 above, then we also need:
B. Some way to assign which documents each person will download and save, to prevent duplication of effort.
Any volunteers? Any suggestions on how to accomplish B ??
Please ping anyone you think could help.
Unfortunately, I can't do any of it (downloading, organizing, assigning, etc.) due to an already overloaded schedule. So please don't reply to me directly. But hopefully some Freepers will get this accomplished.
The tests for biological seem to make that an unlikely explanation.
That said, we owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for your work on behalf of the civilized world.
I wouldn't worry- there is at LEAST one person who has catalogued, copied, saved and interpreted these docs :)
with all the stuff YOU are getting, kinda makes you wonder what the govt. take was and what are they holding back and why???
Playing it straight too.....so far.
I don't mean the ones that have already been translated, I mean all the ones yet to be downloaded, saved, and translated. After all, weren't there thousands of BOXES of documents?? That's what I thought I heard.
Do you have any idea whatsoever in what sort of munitions DU is used? Or are you just running on media hysteria with that?
Gotta love someone that proposes something like that, even takes the time to lay it all out - but they are too busy and please don't respond to them directly!
Please read my post #13 and then GET LOST!
Gen. McInerney stated on Hannity & Colmes that he, McInerney, personally heard recordings of Saddam Hussein communicating that the Russkies, Chicoms & French were transporting WMD from Iraq to Syria in 2003.
Call Karl Rove...i am sure he has copies galore...but you make an excellant point in your post!
Ok, everyone!
The libs will believe nothing that doesn't fit in with their comic book version of the real world.
I heard that too! Unbelievable! And where is the MSM on this latest news about WMD??
Oh, I see they are focused on the Marines being charged for what is probably another frame-up job.
Figures. I really loathe the MSM.
Absolutely! Another great find! Thanks!
I heard that too Kelly. The General may be very well correct. However from the thousands of pages of Iraqi document I read so far, I am more leaning that the WMD or Precursors to WMD we buried somewhere in the Anbar Province in the Western Desert.
Whatever happened to Dr. Mona Al Jaboori ? Does anyone know?
Well, ya know as far as I am concerned, the day we captured Saddam Hussein was the day we found the WMD in Iraq.
But according to McInerney, the Russkies, French & Chicoms moved the WMD from Iraq to Syria in 2001.
With "allies" like France who needs enemies.
My father has been rolling over in his grave ever since the French refused to side with us in the war against Saddam Hussein. My father was one of the Dough Boys who went to France with Black Jack Pershing in WWI. Frog Legs have verrrrrrry short memories. If not for America & Americans who pulled the French's bacon out of the fire not once but twice; they would all be speaking German today.
Semper Fi,
Didn't think so.
DU is used in kinetic energy rounds. Main tank guns, and the A-10 nose gun, plus some other aircraft gatling guns with an anti-armor loadout. That's about it.
Neither used against Saddam in the time frame being discussed.
And Dr. Frank von Hippel of Princeton University has concluded that even if a ton of depleted uranium dust were spread all over Kosovo, the resulting radiation level would be within one one-hundredth of 1 percent of the normal level. In fact, the health risk from radiation emitted from depleted uranium is so low that it is used in radiation shielding for hospitals.Source
given the dates listed on the docs (Dec 98 & Jan 99), this coincides with X42's wag the dog III to take the focus off the impeachment vote. Nonetheless, another great find you've presented.
I have no idea. I hope that the Iraq Survey Group had interviewed this woman.
I wish a Senator would read these translations on the Senate Floor
Yes...just as a lot of the Senators have said that this debate today was good to have...
They should also take whatever time necessary to read some of the documents that have been translated.
Sarcasm aside, I wonder if they truly were this ignorant. When we invaded, the Iraqis thought that our Javelin Medium Antitank Missiles were tactical nukes due to the degree of destruction that they caused to T-72's. They also thought that our body armor was air conditioned, that our water made us super human, and that our armored vehicles had showers inside.
"A. To download and save as many as possible..."
Is this something that we need to do? Do you have any idea how much space would be needed to archive this stuff?
I have something around 100Gig of space on my secondary drive and a 3 meg/sec T-1 at work. If the stuff will fit in that amount of space, I can leave my laptop at the office and see if I can suck the entire FMSO site in overnight one night.
I believe that DU is only used for armor-penetrating rounds such as on the A-10's GAU-8/A, not for any kind of explosive bombs that I've ever heard of (it's purpose is to enable dynamic armor-piercing rounds to penetrate metal better). As such, DU is totally irrelevant to this discussion as far as I can tell (I'm no expert but my dad used to work with the A-10 as an Aeronautical Engineer for Republic Fairchild - I'll try to get more info from him).
The Navy and Army also have some DU munitions, but certainly not in the kinds of weapons that would have been used from the air against Saddam's presidential sites in the attacks in question.
a closer look (past the radiation aspect) will show that the dust itself is extremely toxic without radiation.....not chemical/biologic class toxicity, but quite toxic in ways similar to other heavy metals.
you DO NOT want to be a driver or shotgun on a lowboy in a convoy of lowboys lugging dust-laden Iraqi tanks destroyed with DU-tipped projectiles......trust me! (or look into it further for yourself)
Now the left is saying,
a. the 500 found missile tipped WMDs aren't the "right" ones
b. 500 isn't very many
c. They aren't harmful "now" (too old)
d. George Bush lied
These people have serious mental problems... No telling what this news will do to them ;)
Did you see that Dem lady they had on before, saying "These aren't the WMD we went to war over"? That has got to be the worst attempt to detract from a news item I have ever heard. "Yes, we found material capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people, but it wasn't the material capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people we were told about in the beginning." Yeah, that's a REAL powerful argument. I thought that Ann handled her very well during that segment...though her comments when Colmes brought up Murtha were a bit over the top and detracted from her point.

The morning after
Jason Gregor
June 29 2009 09:19AM
It's Monday morning and I'm bagged from an awesome weekend. The draft was a blast and was a great experience to take it in live from Montreal. Then Sunday my family had a party for my mother, who got her Doctorate in May. What an awesome achievement for her to fulfill a lifelong goal at the young age of 64. Good job, Mom!
I read Ray Ferraro's article about how proud he was to see his son pull on a Red Wings jersey, and it was a similar feeling for me when I saw my Mom get her Doctorate on May 21st. The difference is I will never relate to that because there won't be a Doctorate in my future… ha ha (?)
Bye bye Brodz
In the meantime, some thoughts on the Brodziak trade: The Oilers lost the trade, because they gave up a player who is already playing in the league for two who might never play in the NHL.
This trade was more about creating a spot for Gilbert Brule or Marc Pouliot to play centre on a regular basis next year. Brule has more grit and probably more offensive upside. Pouliot - of whom I am not a huge fan - is a better scorer but he is just as soft, if not softer than Brodziak.
After the draft I had a brief conversation with Steve Tambellini about the trade and what was his thinking when he pulled it off.
"We do need to change our line up a bit. We have too many bodies at forward. We are willing to give some people a chance who haven't had a chance before."
That's where Brule and Pouliot come in. He also hinted that he'd like to move another player before July 1st, so he would have a bit more room to sign a free agent. I don't think that move will be a blockbuster type deal; rather it will be a deal similar to Brodziak.
I was told that Cogliano is not someone they are interested in dealing right now. Of course no player is untouchable, but they strongly believe he has a big upside.
Late-night return
I wrote a few weeks ago that the TEAM 1260 was going to make more changes, and they'll unveil another change tomorrow night. After a nine month hiatus, a live local show will return weeknights from 9-12, starting Monday. Corey Graham will host Game Night, and he'll have drop in co-hosts from time-to-time and is planning on making late night sports radio fun in Edmonton.
"The show will be pretty loose. I'm going to put a younger spin on it. We're going to talk lots of hockey, but we'll focus on other sports as well. I'm going to work on making the show fun and entertaining. Night time radio needs to be less about strict format, and more about fun, insightful sports talk. I hope to bring that starting Monday."
Game night will be great for the station and the sports fan in Edmonton. The show will try a few different angles between now and the hockey season, so expect some interesting topics and ideas starting this Monday.
A big thank you goes out again to the readers of the Nation. It was a wild weekend - I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I gave you your money's worth. In talking to other media types at the draft, few could believe how I got to Montreal and the passion of the Oilers fans has been put on display yet again. If these three sites weren't already on the radar of national media personalities before, they are now.
Somewhere Wanye is smiling as he cracks open his first beer of the day.

I wonder if those comments Quinn made when he didn't know the info about players was intentional. Maybe he's going into training camp with the badass mindset of "Unless you give me a reason to, I'm not even going to bother learning your name". I'm not sure it would be a good idea, but it would most definitely be hilarious hearing him talking to the press about 'whatsisname' and 'doofus'.
For the record, Kyle is happy to be going to Minnesota. He likes the coach there and he's happy to be going somewhere that they want him. And I'm looking forward to being able to cheer for him more.
@ Ducey:
I am not sure why you say Brodziak is ahead of Brule? I also don't know how putting a guy back in the minors (after being so called "rushed") is a viable solution.
The kid obviously has the skill and just needs to be taught the ways of the NHL.
Why would Brodziak (before the start of last season) be ahead of a guy like Brule on the depth charts? If the reason we moved Brodziak was to open a spot for Brule - wasn't that spot available last year?
I was under the impression that they did not want Brule playing in a 4th line role? They saw him in a top 6 role (maybe 3rd line energy). How come it is okay to put him there now? Is getting rid of Brodziak opening up any other spot than the 4th line center position?
I am not trying to be negative - I am just curious as to what the thought process was when we acquired Brule for a proven NHLer in Torres?
Just because CBJ evidently rushed him - does it mean he is any further behind than Pouliot or Brodziak?
Obviously management doesn't think Brodziak is going to pan out (did they rush him?). Pouliot has never really shown much of anything, has he?
It just seems weird, especially considering that Brule had a WAY better camp then either Pouliot or Brodziak did last year.

@ everyone. Settle down! I'm not even an oil fan, but you guys are getting all bent out of shape over this? As I posted earlier, Matheson states not to pencil Brule or Pouliot in too fast, as they may go after Betts. Betts is a solid pk/faceoff guy. Bottom line - give em a week or 2 to address the issues. If they don't, then get all over them! A week from now they could have Betts and Malhotra in place and everyone will be saying how smart and well prepared Tambo is. Sheeesh
you my friend are probably the most level headed flames fan i know. :) and your right. people can complain when we start the season with no faceoff guys. until then people need to relax. if anyone thought that we would have all our holes filled during the draft, they have to give their head a shake. -------------------------------------------------------
and thanks again gregor. it was nice to get an oiler perspective to the whole draft. and its about damn time a blog site gets recognized. especially one this good :P
cant wait for next year.
BTW how are you guys planning on covering july 1'st? anything special in store for us?
@ Librarian Mike
"whatsisname", "doofus". Brings back the childhood memories.
June 29 2009, 01:58PM
@ rindog:
I didn't like the Torres-for-Brule trade at the time, and I like it less now.
Brule has taken a wicked beating at the NHL level; some horrific injuries have lowered his ceiling considerably. That was the Blue Jackets' greatest mistake - because they put him in harms way before he was big enough/strong enough he took a bunch of injuries that derailed his development.
At this point, I have to think that Brule is right in the mix with all the other tweeners despite his draft pedigree.
June 29 2009, 02:00PM
As for Brodziak vs. Pouliot, I like Brodziak better but was I the only one who saw how Pouliot performed when he was put on a scoring line? Completely different player.

Yeah I agree JW. Pouliot was bred to be a point producer especially in junior (yes I know Crosby inflated his numbers). But put with the right people I think he could thrive as a cheap 2nd liner. Last season near the end he was one of our most consistent players - when ol' MacT wasn't benching him.
rindog wrote:

This was a move to balance our team, we need 2 scoring lines, a shutdown line, and an energy line, which of those does brods fit into? None. Unless MAP can be a shutdown guy, I don't see a place for him either, but I'm sure most other teams figure that out too. This gives us the ability to move someone down to the 4th line who doesn't deserve to be higher.
Guys like Brods are a dime a dozen, to get a pick for him is about what he;s worth.
Gregor have you head anything more about Harding? I was thinking Brodziak could of just been a precursor to a Harding Deal.
Somewhat like grebs/MAB was to Long Island before the Smyth disaster
Brodziak is a minute eater, end of story. His job was to give guys with potential to accomplish something a chance to breath. The only attibute that will be missed is faceoffs, which Tambo has an entire summer to address. I have nothing against him personally, just the Oil have too much vanilla filler who's main roles are to not be bad.
*leaves building to head to tim hortons for vanilla filled donut of goodness*
@ ScubaSteve:
Out of Hemsky, Horcoff, Penner, Gagner, Cogliano, Nilsson, O'Sullivan, Pisani, Kotalik(if??) do you suggest they move down in order to make room for Brule?
None of those players (with the exception of Pisani) are suited for the 4th line. If Brule is NOW going to be considered for the 4th line (with Brodziak's departure), why couldn't he be considered last year?
What has changed??
@ Jonathan Willis:
Even with being rushed and taking the beating that he has - is he any further ahead or behind the likes of Pouliot, Reddox or Brodziak?
I would have liked to see the Oilers come in and boost Brule's confidence rather than try to knock him down and rebuild him?
Why not reward the guy for having a great camp and letting him have his fresh start where he deserved it(based on taining camp)?
For my money, Brule was (and is) a far better option than Pouliot, Reddox or Brodziak. I was tricked into believeing that they were grooming Brule for a top 6 position (rather than wasting him on the 4th line), but all of this talk of moving Brodziak so guys like Brule can have a spot (as a 4th line player) makes no sense to me. Not based on last year's rationale anyway???
@ Jonathan Willis/Brownlee/Gregor: Is Gilbert Brule set has a center? Or is he better suited as a winger? I could see him as a 3rd line winger. Darcy Tucker-ish?
@ rindog: Last year, Brodziak was coming off his first full year and Brule was coming off a horrible experience with Doug MacLean's Blue Jackets (see Willis' comment above). Brodziak had also been pretty good with GlenX as well.
I think that the Oilers position in trying to consolidate their gains with Brodziak and give Brule some time to develop was the right move.
I would say that Brodziak is ahead of Brule right now as Brule has not established himself as an NHL player and had some injuries last year. As I said above, I think Brule has higher upside so hopefully that will change in a few months.
rindog wrote:
Obviously management doesn't think Brodziak is going to pan out
He was a 7th round pick. He has more than panned out. I would've kept him and moved Pisani (not saying he's better right now than him, but younger, cheaper and similar). I also think he would've stepped his physical prescence up on the wing. Still could've taken faceoffs too.

The Panthers tried to create a distraction, but in the end the offers couldnt have been that good for Jay Bo if all Calgary had to do was give the rights of a lesser player and thrid round pick. Jay Bo chose Calgary, not the other way around. The deal when announced will have a cap hit slightly over 6..around 6.3. They are still working on term however.
@ Jonathan Willis: What's Marcel Goc's 'statline' look like? Good pk/defensive center, no? Faceoff%? Just another 4th line center?

@ ronaldo:
Nice research on that term. I was sure that was what it meant, but I could never find the reference.
The latest on DANY HEATLEY from TSN's Bob McKenzie:
"Dany Heatley could be traded before July 1, but it's going to take a significant offer from the New York Rangers or the Edmonton Oilers -- the two clubs seemingly most interested in the goal-scoring winger -- to get it done. Sources say the Ottawa Senators do not have a trade offer from those teams, or anyone else, that is deemed worth of acceptance and the list of suitors looks as though it's getting shorter rather than longer. The St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings appear to have pulled out of the sweepstakes, leaving the Rangers, Oilers and Sharks as considerations."

No chance...$3.6 is too rich for a 3rd line centre here. The only way he comes here is if Horcoff is gone.Ryan12 wrote:
If this show will be competing with Tencer, will the Oilers allow the players and coaching staff to be available for interviews with a competing station? I hope not as their is plenty of room in this market for two good shows

Congratulations to your mom, Gregor. I have a lot of respect for people who accomplish things like that. And on a different note, I didn't like the Brodziak trade but it's going to be hard to judge for sure until we see what Tambellini does over the summer. I do wish he hadn't been traded inside the division, but it's possible that Fletcher/Richards (who had him in Wilkes-Barre) were the highest bidders.
It was huge for my Mom, and I too have the utmost respect for her in completing her Doctorate.
Brodziak trade will depend on how guys who are given his minutes play. He was dealt because they needed to get rid of some contracts, and look for them to continue that this summer if possible. Richards is a big fan of his, and they were the team that expressed interest.

Gregor have you head anything more about Harding? I was thinking Brodziak could of just been a precursor to a Harding Deal. Somewhat like grebs/MAB was to Long Island before the Smyth disaster
I'd be surprised. The Oilers will try to get Roloson first. Like I said three weeks ago they offered him a one-year deal for around 3 million and are waiting on his response. He will test the market and see if any teams wants to give him a two year deal.
If they don't get Roloson, then they might have some interest in Harding, but they don't seem overly excited about going into the season with two goalies who have never been a #1 and have less than 80 games combined of NHL experience. RossCreek wrote:
Is Gilbert Brule set has a center? Or is he better suited as a winger? I could see him as a 3rd line winger. Darcy Tucker-ish?
Not set in stone, but they'd prefer to use him there. He can play wing, and would gladly do it if it meant he was staying in the NHL, but he's best as a centre.

GDFD No. 77: Oddly positive
Ryan Lambert
March 31 2010 05:16PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 77th game of the season on March 31, 2010.
At this point Calgary needs to basically win out. So let's have a look at the schedule.
Oh look who Calgary plays tonight. Phoenix. The team with the third-most points in the NHL. So we're off to a good start.
Look, I don't expect Calgary to make the playoffs. I almost don't even want it to happen just so it kind of scares the organization into making some much-needed changes and all that kinda fun stuff. But that doesn't mean the Flames need to lose every game, and certainly this one seems winnable.
"WHAT?" you ask. Fair point by you, but let me explain.
Phoenix has been a very, very good team this season, yes. They clinched a playoff spot, they have 47 wins, all that. But do you know how many road games they've won in regulation this month? Two of eight. Against Carolina and Tampa. Do you know how many of their wins have come in overtime or the shootout this season? A whopping 17! Do you know how many goals they've given up in their last seven games? It's 20. Do you know what their scoring margin in road games is this year? It's minus-7 (compared to plus-10 at home). Do you know what their power play is ranked? It's 28th.
Like I said, winnable.
The Calgary Flames (38-29-9 for 85 points. Ninth in the West, third in the Northwest) and the Phoenix Coyotes (47-24-6 for 100 points. Second in the West, second in the Pacific).
7:30 p.m. Mountain time and 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should order off-menu fast food.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta
Calgary is 19-16-3 at home this year, and are somehow 6-2-0 against Pacific Division opponents in Calgary. The Coyotes are 20-14-4 on the road, but haven't won a road game against a Western Conference playoff team in regulation since Oct. 3, the first day of the season.
What (to hate about the Coyotes)
Matt Lombardi — He's the Coyotes' second-best scorer with 16-34-50. Olli Jokinen's total output in Calgary? It was 19-31-50. Great. That's great.
Lee Stempniak — Since coming to Phoenix he's done pretty alright. He's played 13 games, and has scored 12-3-15. In case you were worried that I'd made a terrible typographical error, I'll spell it out for you: that's twelve goals in thirteen games. For Lee Stempniak.
Radim Vrbata — He sure loves playing in Phoenix. He has played 153 games there and scored 51 goals, or 0.33 per game. In the other 364 games of his career, he has 78, or .21. If he'd played his entire 517-game career in Phoenix and scored at the same rate, he'd have 172 career goals instead of 129, or an extra five goals per season.
Because Staios knows there's still a glimmer of hope! Enjoy the game, and make new friends in the comments section.
March 31 2010, 09:28PM
@ Jean...yeah, they've had a few panic shifts.
March 31 2010, 09:31PM
Wow, first time we've cracked 2 pages in the comment section here at FN?
@Kent Wilson
Nope, we did it here a few weeks ago. Not sure we've ever hit 60 though...
March 31 2010, 09:38PM
@ RC - Really? Was that a GT too?
Kent, I read "shifts" as something completely different.
That looked ugly for Sarich.
@Kent Wilson
Yep... twice in March.

Yikes. This one isn't over yet.

This is quite the finish.
I am quite nervous, to say the least.
So THIS is what Oiler fans felt all those years... INTENSE!
March 31 2010, 09:57PM
Well, they stumbled across the finish line, but they got the 'W'.
Looks like things are quite done this season yet. Friday's game is going to be nuts.
@Kent Wilson
You going to the game?

And yes I am trolling...

dont know if this has been done already but anyway what happens next with sasuke after the inevitable but painful win.Any ideas please funny ones welcome too
oh my god am back
hey Kamaal You post in the wrong area. This should go under manga or maybe even theories, this is in no way a spoiler.
First off I'm not entirely sure this will be a win for Sasuke, then again just surviving a fight with Itachi can be called a victory. I think it will end in a tie with Itachi realizing that his little brother is near his level. After the fight I think he will regroup with Hebi and try collecting information on Uchiha Madara. I think this path may lead him back to Konoha and an eventual encounter with his old pal Naruto.
The next Generation of perverted ninjas is fully prepared to take their place. The line of the Toad Master will never fail as long as there is a will of fire. Rest In Peace Jiraiya-sama, this world and Tsunade were not good enough for you.
I am as far beyond you fanboys as you are above the humans.
Samurai Champloo & Raikiri too
Splam. Moving.
Spoilers is only for actual pictures and scripts of yet-to-be-release Manga chapters, speculation and whatnot are for the normal forums.
well i dont know how to move it so help please
oh my god am back
i just think he will kill itachi....itachi will go blind or collapse from chakara after use ameritsu(sp)
Best Jutsu Ever created... --> "1000 Years of Pain"
'Sakura' - "What, that wasnt a ninjutsu, thats just a Super Powerful ass poke"
Sasuke/Itachi will be about to finish their fight till Madara runs back to Itachi and stops it or gets there right when it finishes then the thre or two of them will disappear in the classic Orochimaru way of poofing into fire and then their gone. Then the pussywipped Konoha teams watches Naruto cry again about being his usual worthless self and then they go back to Konoha and make more promises to each other that they'll never be able to keep and then Naruto will go off to train with Yamato in order to become stronger to bring back Sasuke...again then he'll come back and be able to make even more Kage Bunshins and will now have Three Kage bunshins running at you at the same time doing 1 move the OOOOOOOOOOOOdama rasengan.
rise. wash. repeat.
A pie in the sky?
Lol That is hilarious Shock and I wouldn't doubt it if it wasn't for the fact that Jiraiya died.
I think Sasuke will lose and seek the Mangekyou Sharingan, he will then try to get Kakashi to teach him or something. That doesn't seem like it would happen but anything is possible. Naruto will go trining with Yamato or maybe alone and he will receive the scroll that Jiraiya sent him and might go train on Toad Mountain. He then learns the jutsu in the scroll and he busts a Sasuke rapid growth thing.
If Sasuke wins then he will go after Madara.
i think kishimoto will have given a lot of thought into the confrontation between sasuke and itachi, so i dont think one of them will just win and go on. i think the fight will directly dictate sasukes near future. it wont just be a checkpoint.
if youa ask me
itachi and sasuke's fight will be interrupted by madara
naruto will leave the fight to his mates
suigetsu and kisama will square-off,and someone will get hurt
naruto will learn about j-chan's death...cries in the funeral,goes to the mountains,trains,grows and get back to business

Her diet may not help you lose weight or help you get the nutrients you need. For you, it may not be a healthy path. Eating for a healthy heart is an individual journey based on your food preferences, daily routines, and your individual health profile. Everyone has different tastes, risks, and lifestyle preferences. So how do you find your own path to heart healthy eating? Start by recognizing that the heart healthiest eating styles are plant-based. Next, ask the right questions. Whether you should be following a low-fat or a low carbohydrate or a high protein diet is categorically the wrong question. Following one of these diets rather than focusing on heart healthy nutrition that fits your personal preferences and lifestyle may result in heart harmful eating. Asking about the quickest way to lose weight can be just as counterproductive. So what are the right questions? By uncovering the right questions, you will discover which issues need to be addressed first to most effectively advance your health, today and over time. How does food and nutrition help or harm your heart and arteries? How can nutrition affect your key risk factors such as inflammation, diabetes and metabolic syndrome and help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels and normal blood pressure? What are your risk factors? Do you have a family history of heart disease? Do you already have heart disease? Do you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or are your cholesterol numbers too high? By answering these questions, you begin your journey -- focusing on changing the eating patterns that are most critical for your unique health risks. It is has taken years to define your preferences and establish cravings for specific foods, so it will take time to reprogram your tastes. With your knowledge of the power of nutrition and an understanding of your personal risks, you can continue this journey. And in time, you will find yourself preferring the better-for-you foods which are rich in heart healthy nutrients. The Micronutrients: A Framework for a Healthy Heart Antioxidants Antioxidants help reduce inflammation in our bodies. High inflammation levels increase development of plaque in our blood vessels. The human body naturally produces its own antioxidants, but we can help keep inflammation in check by consuming foods rich in antioxidants as well. Green teas, cocoa, blueberries, pomegranates, red wine, and more unusual fruits like acai, mangostein and goji berries -- as well as traditional spices like cinnamon, clove, turmeric, oregano, and cumin -- are all powerful antioxidants. Plant Sterols Plant sterols (also known as phytosterols), are proven natural cholesterol lowering foods. They lower total cholesterol and bad LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 10 to 15 percent. In nature, small quantities of natural plant sterols can be found in a range of foods, particularly vegetable oils. On average, Americans consume about 250mg of plant sterols per day. While vegetarians typically consume in the range of 400-750 mg daily, even they consume levels significantly below the recommendations of the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association: 2-3g (2000-3000mg) of plant sterols daily to lower cholesterol. Kardea Nutrition offers both foods with plant sterols and dietary supplements with plant sterols. Fibers Plants provide two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers absorb and dissolve in water, while insoluble fiber cannot. Certain soluble fibers play a direct role in natural cholesterol reduction by preventing its absorption in the intestines. Not all soluble fibers work to reduce cholesterol. Those found in oats, barley, fruits, beans and psyllium do. Sodium Sodium restriction is only part of the equation for healthy, normal blood pressure. High levels of sodium found in salt can raise blood pressure. For about one third of the population, small increases in salt intake can result in a large increase in blood pressure, but for others, the effect of salt may be sufficient to create heart disease risks that require drugs. Even a small increase in blood pressure can accelerate development of plaque in the arteries. Potassium Increasing potassium levels can dramatically lower salt sensitivity, making you crave less salt. Adequate levels of potassium have been shown to offset the impact of sodium and maintain healthy blood pressure. In the American diet, however, our relative intake of sodium and potassium is seriously out of balance. A diet emphasizing fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts offers more than twice the potassium found in the typical American diet. Omega-3s Omega-3s are a polyunsaturated fat. Considered essential fatty acids, they occur as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), primarily in flax, soy, canola oil, and walnuts and as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oils. In terms of cardiovascular health, the most beneficial Omega-3s are EPA and DHA. While not found to lower LDL cholesterol levels per se, they reduce triglycerides and make LDLs less harmful. These Omega-3s also have anti-inflammatory benefits. Niacin Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is vital for good health. Niacin helps convert food into energy, build red blood cell counts, and synthesize hormones. Although your body manufactures niacin, you can also obtain it from foods. At substantially higher levels - 1000-3000mg/day - niacin in the form of nicotinic acid can significantly improve cholesterol levels. Nicotinic acid can lower LDL cholesterol by up to 15 percent, raise HDL cholesterol by as much as 35 percent, and lower triglyceride levels by 20-50 percent. Their Philosophy We start our journey toward healthy living with two basic beliefs. Healthy eating is the foundation for long term health and vital living. Enjoying the foods we eat, each and every day, enriches our lives immeasurably. If we must eat foods that we do not enjoy to achieve and preserve good health, maintaining a healthy eating approach will be a daily struggle. At Kardea, they share knowledge to help you understand how to integrate heart healthy nutrition with delicious eating. What is heart healthy eating? The experts agree that heart healthy eating starts with a minimally processed, natural plant-based foundation -- lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Many diets, including the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet,and the NCEP diet, build on this foundation, also allowing you room for good oils, lean meats, dairy, fish, eggs, and sweets. More restrictive plant-based diets offer less choice. These diets may well optimize heart health and are used to treat people with serious heart conditions. Variations on these heart healthy diets are endorsed by pioneering MDs and academic researchers including Dean Ornish, T. Collin Campbell, Joel Fuhrman, Caldwell Esselstyn, John McDougall and others. Allowing few, if any, animal-based products, and very limited amounts of fats -- even "good" fats -- these therapeutic plant-based diets permit only whole, unprocessed foods. An unfortunate truth is that while the benefits of a plant-based diet are increasingly clear, as Americans we are moving further away from this approach to eating. Heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and only dramatic improvements in medical therapies have averted an epidemic. Diabetes and obesity rates continue to rise, and the costs of treatment continue to escalate unsustainably. At Kardea, they provide a framework to help you identify where on the plant-based continuum -- from the Mediterranean diet to the most therapeutic of the plant-based diets -- you might find your balance between the daily celebration of wonderful foods and the mission to enhance your heart health. Upon this foundation, they offer tools and strategies as well as some foods and supplements to support you on this journey. They want to help you achieve an enjoyable heart healthy lifestyle that is natural, effective, sustainable and leads to enhanced longevity and vitality. About Kardea Nutrition At Kardea, which means 'heart' in Greek, their goal is to support your continuing education around heart healthy nutrition to help you enjoy heart healthy eating, each and every day. Kardea Nutrition provides natural gourmet foods to support cardiovascular health, within a framework of educational resources to enable a sustainable lifestyle.

It's okay. Jiraiya didn't really die. He's alive in all of our hearts. But other than that, Pein killed him and left him for dead in a lake. He revived all the people he killed attacking Konoha. You know who wasn't in Konoha at the time? That's right, Jiraiya wasn't there. And if we're to take Nagato's words into consideration, there's a small window of time for which his revival jutsu will work. Jiraiya was way out of that window since he was killed probably 2-3 days before Pein headed for Konoha. So yea, Jiraiya is dead and gone.
sry jiraiya is dead, but who knows if someone wil find his body use it like oritshimaru use the 1 and 2 hokages bodys

Mend-It Glue
Warning: This product is flammable and can not be shipped Air.
Mend-it is the first and still the best soft bait glue in the world. Mend-it dries clear, soft and strong in minutes. Mend-it perfectly repairs any soft plastic baits - from oily hand-poured worms to salty Senkos, tubes, creatures and swimbaits. Mend-it also won't stick to your fingers, clothing or carpet like other products, so you can safely use it anywhere.
Mend-it comes in a glass bottle with a brush applicator that makes precise repairs easy. Mend-it allows you to customize your soft baits and also works great for gluing and over-coating swimbait eyes. Mend-it is recommended by Black Dog Baits, JSJ Baits, Rago Baits, Little Creeper Baits and Mattlures. Watch Mend-it's video and see how easy it is to make any torn bait as good as new.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Ever lose a flipper on a craw? Save those one armed bandits. I've been able to glue flippers back on. What I do is take a razor blade & slice into the body about 1/8" deep & 3/8" long. Slip an appendage (you cut off of a second one armed craw) into the slot. Paint one side of the seam with Mend-It, let it dry, flip the craw over & paint the other seam. As good as Power Bait Chigger Craw's are, they are kind of fragile & this really cuts down on the bottom line.

Comments: It pays for itself quickly. no more wasted plastics. its a must have tool if you fish plastics.
From: Chuck: USA 9/2/16
Comments: amazing stuff. Not much else I can say that hasn't been said. I like the fact that it dries soft. It has paid for itself several times over saving my Lonnie Stanley frogs.
From: Virgil: Green Bay, WI 4/7/16
Comments: The product you see before you truely works, i grabbed a bottle two an a half months before winter rolled around & had been surprised at how this product welds the bait back together. NOTE: one major problem i had about a month ago was half of the bottle drying up. even though i kept i in a cool place. some company should devise a way of bringing back the dried substance back to life or someone should post a video on how to fix a dried up botle.
From: Grant: Houston, TX 3/28/16
Comments: I can not tell you how many times i have mended a bait that was torn, sometimes even in half, back together ready for use in seconds. If you fish soft plastics and soft swim baits like hudds and ospreys this is a must have.

Comments: A must have. I use it a lot especially to repair my frogs after northern pike strikes, works really great. Save your money by buying this stuff.
From: Ben: France 10/26/15
Comments: While Mend It does a great job patching soft plastics and its doesn't leave a crusty, hard coating like Super Glue it is limited. I tried in on many different worms & lizards where at the top of the bait where the hook leaves a hole or rip. When you rethread onto a new hook the tear just opens up again. But if patching a tear in the body of the bait it works fine.
From: John: Germantown, MD 7/8/15
Comments: works well. Glued flippers back on to paca craws and work as well as new ones. Also works and saves a fortune repairing senkos for me.
From: Junyer: AL 6/24/15
Comments: I tried it on the spro bronzeye, live target mouse, and dep frogs. It holds up great and replaces it pretty nice.
From: Peter: WI 3/17/14
Comments: This is the best investment a plastics angler can make. When you first put it on it melts the torn area a little bit and can split a little plastic in half. No big deal, just apply and hold pressure on the spot for a minute or two while it hardens a bit. It does smell so when the fixed plastic goes back in the bag I apply a spray of BANG scent and all is well.
From: Tyler: USA 3/2/14
Comments: This stuff is great! It has paid for its self countless times with regular plastics. Has anyone tried it on hollow body frogs like the Bronzeye?
From: Eric: CO
Comments: A-W-E-S-O-M-E stuff!I target pike and as you know they make short work of plastics,love this stuff man!
From: Jason: United Kingdom
Comments: My fellow NYer Keith sums it up best.....really good stuff here.
From: Brian: NY
Comments: Really good glue, A+ product!
From: GA
Comments: plain and simple this is some good stuff.
From: Keith: Palmyra, NY
Comments: Let me slightly retract my prior comment. Upon going to the mend it web site and digging a little deeper, the product did not eat threw my bait...what had happened is that there was pressure on the lure from the jig head inside. It appears normal that a hole may enlarge with use of this product because it causes - a break down and a bond thereafter. SO.. i still recommend this stuff, however, you may need to do something to keep pressure on the wound while it bonds. As I said before I wrapped one of my lures with mono, let it dry. It worked great. live and learn.
From: Peter: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: I have used this stuff before and love it, I have actually cut open some hollow body swim baits, installed jig head inside and used this to seal the jig heads in. I used some mono and wrapped the bait up to keep the pressure from spitting the bait. THis gives the bait a nice presentation and you do not have to worry about it slipping off. Overall great stuff... HOWEVER --- WARNING - just used on Berkley power bait Ripple shat to reinstall an eye that fell off and it ate right threw the bait in an instant... Not sure why. Not sure if this happens with any other baits, but I guess the good news is that you would ONLY use this if a bait was already ruined. Good luck and hopefully not to many other baits react this way to this product.
Comments: Mend It Glue is the savior for soft plastic fishermen. How many times have you fished a tournament and only had one bag of the hot bait! Simply toss your used baits in the floor to dry and when the bite is off glue them. The smell is strong but fades quickly. Any attractant will mask the odor. Simply amazing stuff!
From: Anthony: Louisburg, NC
Comments: OMG....This is not a glue, this is a soft plastic baits welder!!!! Amazing!!!! Very easy to use but it does take longer than normal super glue to stick your bait together and small pretty bad.
From: Qishen: Des Plaines, IL
Comments: If you like swimbait fishing or any type of bait that tears, this is for you!!!!!!!!!! It is amazing, it smells really bad and make sure you keep it somewhere cool (i keep mine in the fridge) The 1/2 size bottle has lasted me 8 months and its still has some in it. definitely reccomended.
From: Trevor
Comments: I can't really add anything new to what's been said already. If your like me and have been disappointed by other soft plastic repair glues that leave a dry crusty repair, this stuff is the real deal. Keep the cap tight and store it in a cool place and you're good to go. I keep mine in the basement fridge. I've read elsewhere if the contents start to thicken, a few drops of acetone will bring it back. I have not tried this yet as I have not needed to.
From: Gasket: Southern New Jersey
Comments: This is an excellent product that works as advertised in the video. You will recoup the price of a bottle several times over. What a savings to be able to repair pricey plastics for continued reuse. I am glad that it now is available in glass bottles to prevent the contents from premature drying.
From: Vince: Tucson, AZ
Comments: This stuff is awesome. I wouldn't have bothered with a product like this in years prior but in the last few years I have been doing alot more fishing and this stuff has saved me many a bait. Its great because I won't hesitate to replace a bait that is a little bit beat up (and not working optimally or needing constant adjusting) with a new one because I know I can just fix the beat up one with this stuff. It smells exactly like plastic model cement (the really liquid type) so I'm guessing the guy who invented this stuff just tried that stuff and the proverbial light bulb in his head came on and now he must be rolling in the $$$$$. You can literally get twice the use out of the majority of your soft plastics with this stuff!!!
From: Ralph: Canada
Comments: Awesome, just pay attention to the storage instructions, or you will pay for more.
From: Meatwad: Out of town
Comments: THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE!!! I'm surprised one of the soft bait companies don't buy them out. I go out and fish and if I see a soft bait with a tear I replace it with a fresh one and put the damaged one in a zip loc bag. When I get home I repair all the baits and put them back in their respective compartments to be used again. They should call this stuff "WELD IT" because the bait is just as strong as when you took it out of the package. I've actually reattached tails to certain baits. This is worth every penny.
From: Steve: W. Milford, NJ
Comments: This stuff is somewhat amazing. Basically it just melts the plastic back together and leaves your baits good as new. Works really well and in this day and age of expensive soft plastics, its a must have. I highly recommend it. Buy the small bottle for repairs in the field and the big to keep in the shop for large quantities.
From: Big J: Houston, TX
Comments:Excellent and WORKS AS ADVERTISED. I laid 6 plastic baits aside and waited for my Mend-It to arrive. In the time it took to write this note, those 6 lures are mended and as good as new. Good deal Mend-It! And as always, Tackle Warehouse IS a good deal AND the real deal!
From:Gary: Daytona Beach, FL
Comments:This is a great product. I'm almost out of the small bottle. I will purchase the larger bottle next time. this stuff saved me a lot of money on my swimbaits.
From:Chuck: Abita Springs, LA
Comments:This stuff is the real deal. It's not glue, it actually causes the plastic to melt and reset itself within minutes. When it sets, the plastic is like new.... it's soft and supple unlike repairs with Super Glue, which leave a hard, tough spot in the bait. Since purchasing my bottle, it's already paid for itself ten times over in rescued swimbaits and plastic worms alone. If you fish any type of soft plastics, especially the pricey swimbaits, you HAVE to get this product.

That looks nice. What CAD package did you use? I am going to have to teach myself a CAD package because I am getting mighty tired of soldering wires on pad-per-hole boards, which is how I do it now. If turnaround is 7 days on these things, I think I am going to do a project that I am planning in a month on a professional board like this.I don't see a way to automatically send them the Gerbers and make an order on their site. A lot of shops have completely automated systems these days.
Is Sitopway cheap for small quantity prototyping?Let's say 2x3", 10 pcs. Any idea what that would cost?

Customers can start shopping on one device and finish on another.
Bill Siwicki
Online marketplace eBay Inc. has released updated versions of its iPhone and iPad apps, bringing some desktop site features to mobile commerce and making shopping on multiple devices easier.
New features in the updated apps include the introduction of multiple search views so app users can see search results in table, grid or tile view, and a universal shopping cart that links platforms. The new shopping cart functionality helps U.S. and U.K. shoppers buy items from multiple devices.
"We want to provide seamless shopping experiences across all kinds of devices and platforms. It's what our most engaged customers want from eBay," says Kevin Hurst, vice president of mobile products. "With the shopping cart available on desktop, Android, iPhone and iPad, consumers can start shopping on one screen and easily finish on another."
Other features in the iPhone 3.0 and iPad 2.3 updates include: an improved user interface, in particular, the iPad gets a more customizable home screen; new photo-editing tools for the iPad version of the app; and in the iPhone version drivers license scanning technology to help new customers create eBay accounts more speedily.
The company's last significant mobile update, in January, introduced the ability to start a listing on a smartphone or tablet and finish it on the web, and vice versa. It has helped increase first-time listings on eBay by 67%, the company says. EBay did not say exactly how much of that growth it attributes to the January app update.
EBay's apps have been downloaded 162 million times since eBay launched its first app in the third quarter of 2008, the company says. EBay gained approximately 2.8 million new customers in Q1 2013 through mobile devices, helping drive double-digit growth in active mobile users, eBay says.
In March 2013, eBay had 48.8 million desktop-only unique visitors, 22.2 million desktop and mobile visitors, and 20.7 million mobile-only visitors, comScore reports.

Flames Inch Closer to Playoff Picture, Ambivalence Reigns
Kent Wilson
April 03 2010 11:13AM
The Flames squeaked out a close one against the Avs last night, moving them into a tie for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The hometown heroes managed to pull an "Avalanche special" in Colorado last night, getting mostly outshot and outplayed but riding a favorable bounce and some outstanding goaltending to victory nonetheless.
That's perhaps the extent of the good news for the Flames, who for the fifth straight game were the second best team on the ice by my eye. They've won three of the last five, but the results don't echo the performance as far as I'm concerned. Calgary is getting by on bounces and Kiprusoff right now. On one hand, it's great time for the fates to start favoring the club given the circumstances. On the other hand, it's rather disappointing (for me anyways) to watch such relentlessly mediocre hockey night-in and night-out.
The primary problem is the Calgary's first unit, which has spent many evenings since Langkow went down being beat up by the opposition's top line. Last night, Iginla et al spent most of the contest in their own end and were outchanced 5-0 at ES as a result. That's right...in some 16 minutes of ice, Jarome Iginla generated not a single scoring chance at 5-on-5. In the last 3 games for which I have counted chances, Jarome is a cumulative -12...and all of those contests were against relatively soft competition (NYI, PHX, COL). It's one thing to be underwater versus the Ovechkins and Datsyuks of the world, but quite another when you get beat up by Stempniak, Stewart and uh...whoever is the top line for the Islanders. I don't know how to qualify that. It speaks for itself, frankly.
On the bright side of things, I continue to be impressed with the work of Mikael Backlund, who has proven to be surprisingly capable at protecting the puck and cycling in the offensive zone - something younger players often struggle with. He, Bourque and Kotalik are being protected a bit (understandably), but that's to be expected given the make-up of the club with Langkow and Higgins out of commission. That said, his play remains a dim bright spot. I also thought Conroy et al were full value again last night, especially with Dawes counting his 14th goal of the year (in just 62 games). Nigel has consistently been effective throughout his time in Calgary and is not a guy who should get the pressbox pink slip once of the walking wounded return.
Overall, I'm ambivalent about the win. Making the playoffs is always preferable to not, but, frankly, the club looks like first round cannon fodder to me. At best. The top end of the roster is putrid, the possession and scoring chance stats have gone into the toilet recently and there's a chance that making the dance will postpone or delay some of the changes I think this organization depserately needs.
Three Stars
1.) Miikka Kiprusoff - Made a handful of highlight reel saves in the third period to preserve the win.
2.) Chris Stewart - A driving force for the Avs. Finished with an assist and 8 shots on net.
3.) Rene Bourque - Was strong on the puck in offensive zone all night long.
The Big Save
With the Flames ahead by one mid-way through the third, Kipper made a post-to-post sliding save on a centering pass that defied belief. Loubardis said it was perhaps the best save he'd ever seen.
*Bonus* Charlie Simmer "quote of the night"
"Again, getting it into the offensive zone. That's where the Flames know they're going to be extremely successful." Incisive, penetrating analysis.
What it Means
The Flames and Avs are locked at the bottom of the post-season race with 89 points apiece. Colorado technically owns the 8th spot currently (thanks to the tie-breakers) and have a game in hand over the Flames. Calgary's chances of making the dance have rocketed up to 24% in the last little while, a huge jump from the 4% they were sporing after the loss to Boston.
What's Next
The Flames face their nemsis Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
April 03 2010, 11:56AM
Man I hope Glen, Lanks and Higgins get better soon. Im struggling to breathe when Sutter and Jamal are out there
April 03 2010, 12:34PM
He He, I was laughing too when I heard Simmer say that! On a somewhat related topic.....does anyone know why Loubardias took over from Millions? I liked Roger Millions alot more than Loubardias, he seems lost alot of the time, and his hockey knowledge has been spotty at best.
Anyways, good game by the flames!! Hope they can keep the intensity up for the 'hawks. That game worries me the most out of the remaining 4. Those damn 1 pm starts though ugh!! I dont know why the NHL does that, both teams are usually sluggish, and it doesnt make for as good of an on ice product as a 5 or 7 pm start! Oh well, still cant wait! GO FLAMES GO!!!!!!!!
I'm not a big fan of Millions or Lombardious, but whatever.
I love the fact that there are hardly any comments from the "peanut gallery" after a hard-earned Flames victory. They only want to bitch and complain and call for firings when they lose. C'mon people, if you're going to support the team, it has to work both ways!! Man up!
The Flames may be been outplayed in the 3rd, but thought they had a great second and gave them the small cushion they needed for the win....along with some great goaltending from Kipper of course!
It would be nice to Glencross back for sure. They could use his wheels. I'd also like to see more of Higgins as I really haven't been able to gauge his play since they picked him up.
i love when he says " you can put it in the win colum"
April 03 2010, 01:18PM
If we do make it into the playoffs, I hope that it doesn't mean that the people responsible for us even being in this situation are not let off the hook. I am of course speaking about Peter Loubardias and Charlie Simmer.
Have to agree with the article, Flames have been getting by on bounces. That being said though, hockey is a game of inches on so many nights.
I love the Flames but sometimes the team just lacks any push back. If we manage to make it, we have to have a response for whoever we play.
On a side notes, Sportsnet needs to bring back John Garret for Calgary full time.
PS. Leave Loubo alone, yeah he sounds like a kid sometimes but at least the excitement appears to be genuine.
April 03 2010, 03:41PM
Yeah, regarding Loubardias, he might have a voice that could melt off your genitalia and not be super knowledgeable, but he's honestly one of my favourite play-by-play guys because of his excitement. That shiz is infectious.
... Furthermore, I think he should be fired.
I'm really liking Backlund on the 2nd line, and I hope he gets someone good when Langks comes back and takes it over.
April 03 2010, 11:42PM
This club is 13-8-1 since the Daryl Sutter re-vamp, that %615 hockey, those numbers would slot us in approx where nashville is sitting right now, so I do not believe we can make MAJOR changes in the off season, there are 2 moves to make ( Play making centerman for Iginla, hear that horse being beaten, and a solid backup goalie that can shoulder 15-20 games, If we can somehow get 3 points out of the next 2 games or 4 out of the next 3, I think we sneak into 8th.
They are still in 9th place. There is no such thing as a tie in the standings the AVS have more wins. Do you really not know that ?
LULZ TROLLZ!!!! The Flames are tied for Eighth because they have the same amount of points. Coincidentally, points are the first measure of who gets into the playoffs or not.
Azevedo you've been crushing too many Coronas bro. If two teams have equal amounts of points, there are several tiebreakers to give the standings advantage to one of those teams. Colorado indeed has those tiebreakers. Come on man yóu just sound stupid trying to defend the Flames right there.

Philip, together with international business and regional economic development leaders, today advanced a comprehensive proposal with Governor Andrew Cuomo and leaders of the State Legislature to build a state-of-the-art research and development (R&D) facility for emerging technologies and entrepreneurial leadership. This hub of innovation will provide the technology transfer and commercialization resources necessary to drive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance New York's competitiveness in key industries.
Philip was joined at the presentation by Susan Phillips, UAlbany Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs: Michael Tucker, President of the Center for Economic Growth and a representative of the Capital Region's REDC; Richard B. Pyle, UAlbany alumus and a senior officer with Vaisala, Inc., one of UAlbany's corporate partner; and Tamra Minor, UAlbany's Chief Diversity Officer.
The proposal, is the University's application in response to Governor Cuomo's NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant, an initiative designed to make the State University of New York a leading catalyst for job growth in New York State, while strengthening the academic and research programs at SUNY's four University Centers: Stony Brook, Buffalo, Albany, and Binghamton. The initial phase of the program focuses on a $35 million capital construction challenge grant that will be awarded to each Center upon approval of a detailed, long-term economic development and academic enrichment plan.
The UAlbany plan is expected to generate more than $1.8 billion in economic impact throughout the Capital Region, which is 50 times the investment of the NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant.
At the center of UAlbany's plan is the construction of a $165 million Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurship Complex (E-TEC). The R&D complex will serve as an Innovation Eco center designed to harness Albany's capacity in emerging technologies by accelerating cooperative R&D, technology transfer, business development and workforce training.
"E-TEC will bolster UAlbany's ability to translate academic research into commercialization," said Philip. "This plan provides a tremendous opportunity for the Empire State to become a national leader in converting its research capacity into a sustainable economic impact."
E-TEC will be constructed on the east side of the uptown campus and house a critical mass of entrepreneurial resources including:
- The Office of Entrepreneurial and Commercialization Services—a hub of business development and entrepreneurship;
- UAlbany's Small Business Development Center – which will provide on-site expertise on forming new companies; and
- The University's Technology Transfer Office designed to accelerate new patents, licenses, and start-ups.
In addition, UAlbany's School of Business will also provide innovative entrepreneurial training to students in support of E-TEC and is occupants.
"E-TEC will provide a 'front door' for industry to global-leading R&D clusters - a virtual cross-sector 'sandbox' fostering collaboration among innovators, investors, and customers," said Philip.
E-TEC will also fuel research at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering by strengthening collaborations particularly in the areas of biotechnology, instrumentation, environmental sensors, and solar energy research.
In addition, the UAlbany plan will add more than 700 permanent positions, nearly 200 new faculty, approximately 1,600 construction jobs, and 1,350 new students.
The University's enrollment growth plan also ensures affordability through $5.2 million in enacted TAP eligibility aid, as well as $2.5 million in increased student aid.
"NYSUNY 2020 goes far to create greater access for students as well as provide UAlbany students with stronger support and richer pathways to achieving lifelong success," said Philip. "We stand ready and eager to implement our NYSUNY 2020 plan so that we can hire more faculty, increase our research funding, graduate more students, drive our regional economy, and fulfill our mission as one of the four flagship University Centers in the SUNY System."

For a lovely and luscious end to a meal, this recipe takes the cake!
Freshly squeezed lime juice can be used in place of the Key lime juice. One lime yields about 5 teaspoons juice and 3 teaspoons grated peel.
Skip the glaze and just sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar, then grated lime peel.
