All the suggestions around here that Tom Renney isn't the right coach for the Edmonton Oilers and that GM Steve Tambellini has bungled the rebuild and should be out the door ass-first sooner than later is great for debate.
Likewise, all the discussion about who is and isn't in the plans for the Oilers and who fans would either like to see, or expect to see, sent packing by the NHL trade deadline on Feb. 27, which is 43 days from now.
While that's a lot of fun, it also goes to show how quickly perceptions can and do change over a relatively short period of time. That's especially true in Oil Country, where the bandwagon can be rolling like a runaway train on a winning stretch of road with fans feeling like there's no end in sight, only to end up upside down and on fire in the ditch around the next corner.
Might many of you still think Tambellini is a boob in need of a pink slip 43 days from now? Sure. Might you still shudder at Renney's use of personnel then? Maybe. Should the Oilers, 17-23-4 for 38 points and hopelessly out of playoff contention as of today, be willing to trade anybody not named Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle by Feb. 27? Done.
Then again, 43 days is a long time. If you go back that far, to Dec. 5, Oilers fans were in a distinctly different mood than they are today. How have your perceptions about this team, and what it needs in terms of personnel moves and changes in the front office or behind the bench, changed since then?
-- On Dec. 5, the Oilers were 13-11-3 for 29 points, which had them sitting in 10th place. San Jose held down eighth place with 29 points and Phoenix was ninth, also with 29. Did you think Tambellini a bungler then?
-- Back then, the Oilers were five points ahead of the Calgary Flames, who were 11-13-2 for 24 points. Was Renney overmatched as a tactician? Today, the Flames are nine points ahead of the Oilers with a 21-20-5 record.
-- On Dec. 5, the Minnesota Wild sat atop the Western Conference with 37 points from a record of 17-7-3. Wasn't Mike Yeo a candidate for the Jack Adams Award? Today, Minnesota sits eighth at 22-16-7 for 51 points.
-- In the 43 days since Dec. 5, when the Oilers sat within a whisker of a playoff spot, they've gone 4-12-1. It's a skid that's been greased by the losses to injury of Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, Tom Gilbert and Ryan Whitney. At what point did you decide Ales Hemsky had to go? Or do you still beg to differ with those who feel that way?
Sure, some of you wanted Tambellini gone 43 days ago regardless of the standings at the time. He still hadn't put this team together right, it just wasn't as obvious. And, yes, some of you were screaming about Renney's lines and who he used in certain situations even when this team was in the hunt, just not as loudly as now. Granted and granted.
Suffice to say, it'll be interesting to see what the pulse is here an hour before and an hour after the trade deadline comes and goes 43 days from now. A lot can change between now and then. Just saying . . .
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.
It was public knowledge that Pronger asked to be traded. Not exactly an ideal situation for Lowe and far from dealing from a position of strength. I'm not certain how many "superstars" were available at that point in time but my guess is DET wasn't lining up to swap Lidstrom for Prongs nor was Carolina ready to swap Staal for him. Put in a call to Dean Lombardi and ask him how much fun it was trying to get equal value for Ryan Smyth after his trade request became public. Why would a team overpay for a player when they know he's going to be moved? Of coure, in Edmonton, it surely wouldn't have mattered what Lowe did. If he had made him sit, fans surely wouldn't been ALL OVER HIM for not taking full advantage of a valuable asset. I can only think you're likely of the mind that a trade for a superstar player (never mind an average-player trade) is a piece of cake to complete and that 29 teams were calling Lowe to offer up their very best assets for Prongs.
Point is this: history tells us, on most occassions, the team that lands the best player in any trade ultimately wins the trade in the long run. The way Pronger was playing, there was little chance of landing a player of equal stature in return. At the end of the day, Lowe received a player who has turned into a top 4 defenseman for the team in Smid, a player who is tied for 8th in league scoring right now in Lupul (maybe they saw something there after all??) and a potential franchise player in Eberle (who was the direct result of a pick received in the deal). Take away the "7 or 8 trades later" aspect and you're still landing what's amounted to multiple solid asset. I'm not saying it's impossible to land a return superstar for another in a trade but history says it's difficult and uncommon. Hossa for Heatley is the last one I recall off the top of my head. I thought Lowe did better for Prongs than O'Connell did for Thornton myself. But I have no doubt if you were in Kevin's shoes that Lidstrom would've been the return player cause trading Pronger should've been easy as pie. Do you care to offer up any better "realistic" trade scenarios at the time that might've made sense for both teams?
I think Lowe panicked, I feel that the ducks could have given up much more value off the roster. Pronger was a pro and I think he would have played till a better deal could be worked out, we had the best player in hockey at 32 yr old and gave him away and tried patching the roster up. Don't stick up for failure. Getzlaf and there 1st or hang up phone.
January 17 2012, 08:53PM
right on, that is exactly how i feel! the small glimpse this year of what our team can do when they are healthy was a lotta fun to watch. i am ready for 2 more years of small improvements to end up challenging for a division title.

^^^^^^^^^ everything that is wrong with this site^^^^^^^^^^^^
Donkey talk? I know some of the conversation can be complete garbage from uninformed simpletons. But I don't think certain people should be throwing out insults about the trash that is spewed on this site.
January 17 2012, 10:00PM
Actually I am done reading your columns Brwnlee. The fact is you have turned pportions of this site in to your own personal propaganda machine. Quite sad as it used to offer an unbiased informed opinion of people who could accept the fact that their opinion is exactly that an opinion and not absolute truth.
January 17 2012, 11:00PM
I obviously wasn't privy to inside knowledge at the time but, from what I remember, it was more likely that he would've sat out waiting for a trade rather than play. Further to that, I'm sure they wanted to avoid a whole "Pronger circus" during the season at all cots. Not much point in keeping a discontent player on the team - little own in the dressing room.
I certainly concede Lowe maybe could've done better in the Pronger deal. Obviouly didn't work out as planned (ideally, Lupul was a point/game player here and not in T.O.) but my original point was that I think Lowe did better than getting the "absolute worst possible return" as you feel he did given how all the pieces have played out. Hell, I would've been happy with Eberle alone for Pronger if it had come to that. I jut think, given the situation of the public request for trade, there was no way any GM would've been able to obtain full value in the form of a "current" superstar and, all thing considered, it could've been much worse.

"For the record, Jones is a 4th liner on a contending team, not a 3rd liner."
Speaking of for the record, 133 forwards scored 18 or more goals in the NHL last season.
With 30 teams, be they contenders or pretenders, that's 180 spots for top-six forwards. There weren't enough 18-goal scorers, a shortage of 47, to fill all those spots.
So tell me again how a player who is capable of scoring 18 goals as well as killing penalties and playing an energy role is a "dime a dozen."
Jones still suffers by the possession metrics, but go ahead and only sample the information that flatters him. Jones is shooting above 16% right now and it continues to regress, he'll finish with about 30 points this season(which is good for him).
Jones also benefits from a lot of ice-time, which is the result of being an average player on a bad team, would Jones get those totals playing 5 mins less a game? Unlikely
You ignore necessary information and only view the positive aspects of an other wise average player. You call yourself an informed member of the media? Inform yourself then, look at advanced metrics and statistics and do not dismiss them at every corner as you always seem to do. One thing I will say about Jones is that he is improved from last year, good for him, his possession metrics were the worst on the team last year. I may have been a little harsh with my criticism of Jones by saying he is a dime-a-dozen player, but I do my homework to evaluate the player. Robin, you on the other hand dismiss my comments like I have no reason to say them when countless evidence has been brought up in the past to support my arguments. You view Jones through rose coloured glasses and then ask why, you should take me seriously? I should be asking, why do I take you seriously?
January 18 2012, 12:49AM
I like Ryan Jones as much as the rest of Oiler fans do but without the top 6 in order, the bottom six have much less importance. If Jonesy is part of the package to get what the Oilers need most, then the Oilers will just have to find another Jonesy in two yrs after all this mess is sorted out.
Bonus clause for triple digit responses Robin?
^ This. Moneypuck understands what it means to deal away a player where the team has depth to address the area of deficiency.
January 18 2012, 04:03PM
"I may have been a little harsh with my criticism of Jones by saying he is a dime-a-dozen player . . ."
Which is the specific point I addressed. Dime a dozen player? Not a chance. You overstated, by a lot, and I called you on it. Stop sulking.
If you don't see a solid third or fourth line player in Jones, then you're spending too much time looking at the numbers and not enough time actually watching him play. Jones is a solid player who understands his role and plays it well. You could not possibly be more dismissive (and wrong in this case) than by marginalizing a player with the characterization "dime a dozen."
I did not over state by a lot, he is AVERAGE on his best nights. I watch the player, I like the guy, however his value is higher right now than it will ever be and if a package needs to include Jones to get a defenseman, you do it, end of story.
Sulking? No sulking here, you overvalue Jones, because he "HUSTLES". Here is where where I confirm your bias on Jones, if given the option to retain Hemsky or Jones, who do you keep?
I await your response.

The changes needed to the Oilers organization are far deeper than a quick trade or two. We are stating to develop a long term culture where we rationalize, make excuses, and dream. In my opinion more fundamental and deep organizational changes are required.
When did it become so acceptable to fail, and why do so many continue to rationalize under-performance. Our player spend is in the top half of the league. Winnipeg and Ottawa both spend almost 10 million less than the Oilers. Winners in this league never accept not making the playoffs. Losers make excuses and rationalize even when the playoffs are a distant dream. We are rapidly approaching the third season as the worst team in the NHL. How many teams have managed to accomplish this feat historically?
In business terms we are completely under performing the market in all respects but one. The FANS. As Canadians we continue to support this team, fill the building, buy the expensive beer, etc. all the while making excuses for under-performance at every level but one (our support) - which given our love of this game in Edmonton they will likely continue to take for granted.
It is becoming increasing clear the Oilers have numerous issues. I suspect there are too many 'buddies' inside the organization unwilling to make the hard decisions that might feel like firing a beer buddy. Tough. This is a performance based business. If the Oilers were playing in most of the US markets, based on our current performance, we would be in deep trouble. The building would be empty. The sponsors would be gone. The loses would be growing. Lucky the Oilers are in Edmonton.
We are a Canadian team with loyal fans and a great history. It is time for D Katz to show us why he bought this team and define a new culture where winning is expected. Where under-performance is not acceptable. Where the fans are not taken for granted. And yes, he might need to fire some friends. Get on with it. The worst team in the NHL for 2 going on 3 seasons! Never as an Oiler should this be acceptable. Never.
The good news is that we have managed to collect some exciting new players through the draft as a result of our abysmal performance in the past. Guys like Hall, Eberle, RNH are all winners - but they will not stay here long term if we continue to lose. They have won their entire careers. Individually these players are winners. Ask yourself if these 3 will be Oilers down the road if we continue to under-perform as an organization. Not a chance. They will eventually go find a winning team.
After 25 years as a loyal FAN I have witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly as an Oiler. However, my biggest disappointment is the current level of rationalization, excuses, etc. which continue to come from the organization. Which leader (coach, GM, president) has had the courage to face the media and truly take responsibility for this mess. Admit we are under-performing as an organization.
I hope they STOP taking us for granted. PLEASE. If nothing else someone needs to step up and take ownership for the mess. We have not be injured for the past 3 years and on 'paper' we are certainly not the 'worst' in the NHL. We need to stop with the excuses and never ending rationalizations. We need to make the deep fundamental changes. PLEASE D. Katz. Finally make your mark on this team. Clean house.

Holy Pentecost
The Gospel according to John 20:19-23
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were gathered, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

Portable, Peanut-Buttery Reeses Peanut Butter Cup MiniaturesWednesday, October 28th, 2009 by Becca Droz
Sharability: 7
Convenience: 7
Denture Danger: 4
Novelty: 5
Overall: 9
When we have a full sized Reese's Cup I know a lot of us eat it by poking the middle out first and eating the peanut-buttery goodness first and the crunchy chocolate ring second. This miniature peanut butter cup combines those two pieces of deliciousness into one crunchy chocolatey uber peanut-buttery bite.
The miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups come in a cute little cupcake-like wrapping. Plop a dollop of whipped cream on top and you've got your own little cupcake. The miniature is taller than the original, which allows more peanut butter flavor to fill the inside.
For some of you this could be a huge turn off, "Eww more peanut butter, I want more chocolate!" but for others I know that a little more peanut butter flavor in your Reese's cup is exactly what you crave. So in case you don't want to get the sickly feeling you usually do after a pack of normal sized Reese's cups, grab a couple miniatures and enjoy the chocolate-peanut-butter flavor combination!

Conserving water is more important than ever. During summer dry spells, this may seem like an impossible task, but with a few tips saving water is easy.
Most of us take our water supply for granted. But in dry weather, it pays to think of ways to conserve water. Cutting back on water usage not only helps the environment, but can save you cold, hard cash during a hotter-than-normal summer.
Thanks to new technology, saving water is a breeze. Plumbing parts like low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators are surprisingly easy to install. And, when combined with basic outdoor water reduction techniques, they can save you hundreds of dollars a year in water. Here's what to do to change your water guzzling habits:
Low-Flow Shower Heads: Low-flow shower heads [1]have been around for some time, but brought complaints of poor water pressure. Not any more! New and improved "flow control technology" allows these devices to deliver as little as 1.75 gallons per minute with stimulating force. Since old shower heads pour out at a rate of 4 to 5 gallons per minute, a low-flow shower head can actually cut your water usage in half.
Water Faucet Aerators: New faucet aerators should be installed on kitchen and bathroom sinks, where most household water is drawn. Older faucets typically run at a rate of 4 gallons per minute, when fully opened. However, by simply unscrewing the old aerator (located at the end of the spout) and installing a low-flow aerator, you use only 2.5 gallons per minute, a 40% reduction.
Toilet Tune-Ups: Plumbing codes have mandated an end to old fashioned water guzzling toilets. Nowadays, only low-flow, 1.6 gallon, toilets [2]are available and work amazingly well.
If your home has the old-styled 4 to 5 gallon toilets, you can still save water without replacing it. One of the most common sources of toilet leaks is the flush valve, the rubber flapper inside the toilet. To see if it leaks, place some food coloring inside the toilet tank and leave it overnight. Then check the toilet bowl the next morning. If the dye has leaked into the bowl, the flush valve is bad. Replacement is an easy, do-it-yourself job, which will cost about $5 for the part.
Low Water Landscaping: Outdoor watering [3]puts great demands on city water supplies and can quickly run up water bills. A few basic techniques will help you reduce the amount of water necessary to keep your lawn and garden green:
Conserving water during a dry summer will not only result in savings on your water bill, but saving water will make you a better steward of the environment.

I Just Installed OpenSolaris 2008.11
By Darryl Mocek on Dec 11, 2008
I just installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 on Sun's Virtual Box v2.0.6. I think this has been the easiest OS install I've done so far. First, the Live CD launches and runs the OS. From there, you can click on the 'Install OpenSolaris' icon to install OpenSolaris. It installs complete with a ZFS filesystem as the default. Very cool.

The Bauer Reflex RX6 Limited Edition Leg Pads feature exclusive color schemes, but are constructed the same as as the regular RX6 pads. The RX6 offers flexibility and coverage that make them perfect for hybrid style goalies.
Being that flexibility is such a key aspect for the hybrid style goalies, it is nice to see that Bauer has made the RX6 leg pads with their Regulated Flex. The RX6 leg pads use the "Soft" flex set up which means they are very flexible with break points above and below the knee. That flexibility allows the pads to move with your leg, even in more unconventional stances. The RX6 leg pads also utilize a square design at the thigh and boot to provide maximum coverage of the net.
In addition to the flexibility and coverage that the RX6 leg pads offer, Bauer has also provided solid protection that is suitable for most intermediate levels of play. Bauer has used their integrated under-pant thigh protector to ensure that the gap between the pants and the leg pads is fully protected. The RX6 leg pads also use a very thick middle layer in the knee stack to provide great shock absorption when your dropping into position.

Comments: Comments:Bauer LE Rx6 Leg Pad Review
I am using the Rx8 review template so all can get a good comparison.
ABOUT ME: I have playing for 35 years. I played club in college and adult beer league now. I played mostly standup, I challenge
aggressively on the angle but learning butterfly, so hence the new pads. I am coming from Vaughn Legacy 3000's 32", with
essentially no thigh rise and no 5 hole coverage. I got these new pads in July 2011 and have used them about 40 times. I am just
recently becoming a gear enthusiast and this is my first review. I do not have a ton of experience with lots of gear just what I have
worn, which is to say nothing new til now for the last 15-20 years.
I had been looking at pads for about a year and settled on these, mostly due to price. These seemed to the cheapest non-beginner
adult pads I could find (although some here might call these beginner pads, hehe) I got the for $300 delivered from
icewarehouse.com. I pretty much needed all new equipment so I couldn't splurge on any one item.
I got 34+1. I am 5' 11" 1/2 with ATK 17"
BREAK-IN: No break in required for me...they offered no resistance to anything I wanted to do, b-fly, relaxed stance with hands on
thigh rise, or even classic skate kick out. With toe tie slack I could point my toe when needed. Pads came flexible and snapped
back to shape. I made no modifications, even to the knee cradle, left it right where it was. I am not real picky and they were new
style to me so I had no pre-existing preferences. So just left it as is and played it by feel going forward.
Adjustability. The knee cradle is movable up and down and slightly side to side. There is not much adjustability in the straps as
they are all sewn in hard. So essentially all you have there is tightness to play with the strapping, or maybe just not using one. The
toe tie has the leather spacer which I really like. It allowed me to make adjustments to the slack very easily prior to each outing
and not have to mess with tying or un-tying the knots. The toe tie was where I experimented the most along with tightness of
strappings. For me I have ended up with a lot of slack in the toe tie to alleviate the pain I had in ankles, knees and hips. I have the
boot and lowest calf strap tight for better stability, it also seemed to simulate my old pads feelings better to ease the transition to
newer pad
Playability: very very light compared to my old Vaughn's. At first was pretty awkward, I could hardly feel them so it sort felt like
they were not there and I couldn't trust the protection. But once I took a few shots my mind started to believe.
These pads will slide very well, although I am not very good at it. I can get a good b-fly side with these...the backside pushes slide
well to, but this is where I struggle. I do not think it is due to the pads but more to my very very old skates and poor flexibility
(can't get my foot square to the push, but working on that) UPDATE: Got new skates (Bauer One60) and can perform backside
pushes much better. They are not great but that is due to my poor form. Which I am working on and it is getting better. Overall
these pads play very well, slide when needed, rotate as expected and stop the puck!
I would say these pads do give some big rebounds but some of that might be due to my style, more kicking at times. They seal
very well to the ice, very few "squeakers". There is a "V" when in the b-fly but that is due to my lack of flexibility.
PROTECTION: this may seem obvious to some but leg pads to provide protection as its main purpose. I play in mid level beer
league and once in a while I take a very hard slap shot just above the shin and I can feel it through the pad. It doesn't hurt, I can
just feel it.
I was also hoping that with the thigh rise and thigh/knee rap I wouldn't need knee pads...WRONG. These pads have the laced on
thigh/knee guards that taper as the get into the pads with no plastic in the actual knee area. I never thought a puck would get to
my knee with the thigh rise. Well 8 weeks later I still have a knot on my knee from where the puck hit me. So you will want knee
pads with these pads. I'm sure some of you are like "duh", lesson learned there. I have Bauer Knee Pads now and I just removed
the thigh guard.
Durability: To this point no major wear on the pads. There is a little wear on the back of half of the inside foot seam near the heel.
There they are using just a soft fabric vs the jenpro that is used on the front. Guess that is what you get for going cheap
There is really no calf wrap, the calf pad that is on the ice when in b-fly and a lite foam flap inside that. On the outside of the pad
just another lite foam pad. The inside protection is plenty but not much on the outside. My old pads had nothing on the outside of
the calf so this is an improvement.
I hope to complement these with matching gloves and One60 Skates (got them now) in the next year or so. And like the Rx8
review (JasonGoalie34) I was a Vaughn loyalist, when I had money. Now that I have a family money is the driving factor. I have
found that Bauer makes the least expensive adult gear and along with my Bauer Elite C/A I am finding it good gear for my level,
and should be for most mid-level beer league'ers.
POSSIBLE MODS:As with the Rx8 review I am thinking the knee stack maybe a bit low and I may add something to raise it. This
would help me keep the pad flush to the ice when extending my leg out, as my flexibility is not that great. These pads have slide
pad with Velcro to the larger knee stack pad which attaches to pad with laces like a thigh boards, and then Velcro to the
adjustable knee cradle. So shouldn't be too difficult to either get a larger knee stack pad or even add one.
I have also recently moved the knee cradle down about 2 inches since I got new knee pads (Bauer Pro) and I considering removing
the knee cradle together.
OVERALL: I am really happy with my purchase of these pads.
From: Lee
Comments: Amazing pads! I have owned 5 different sets of pads and this set was effortless to
break in. Has multiple areas of adjustment to make the perfect fit for yourself. When tightening the bottom straps leave them with
a loose fit giving some room to put your hand under and the pads will pop up in the butterfly making a perfect wall with no room
for the puck to slide under. This movement also works well with sliding from post to post. I was amazed how light these pads
were compared to my old Bauer pads. These pads have noticeable rebound control which improved my game. I don't have
any complaints about these pads, in fact I purchased the matching blocker and glove to go with them!

Nation Playoff Pool Update
April 23 2014 12:43PM
The playoffs are a week in and here's your first playoff pool update. If you didn't enter, shame on you. If you did sign up, it's time to brag about how smart you are. Unless, of course, your pool looks like mine where I go out and pick players that have completely fallen off the face of the earth. I'm looking at you Nyquist. *shakes fist*
The Leaders
Some of you have magical powers, don't you? I'm looking at the leaderboard on the Nation Playoff Pool and I don't understand why some of you have double the points total that I do? Actually, it makes worlds of sense when I think about it. It's likely because I'm missing a chromosome and picked players like Chris Kelly that aren't even playing in the playoffs, but I'd rather blame your huge brains and mystical powers.
Las Vegas Goons, I demand that you show yourself and buy me a lottery ticket. Let me know if you take post dated cheques.
Now that Tampa got the broom treatment, I'm curious to see how many people were banking on Stamkos to light things up. I know I can't be the only one that's shocked about Montreal sweeping the series. Is LA going to be swept? San Jose is a really solid team but they're running LA around like toddlers - I know that my pool will do another lap around the toilet if that happens.
If you're lower than me in the standings, please reach out and let me know. I'd love to feel better about myself and ridicule you. If you're higher up than me, I will accept your ridicule and praise you like the God that you are. I bow at your fortune telling feet.
Dear Sidney Crosby and Gino Malkin,
Score some truckin' goals already! You're killing me here. Thank you.
Streakcred & Regular Season Pool Prizing
I just wanted to give a quick update and let you know that we're finalizing all the prizes for both Streakcred and the Regular Season Pool. We'll be contacting the winners shortly and you will be getting your prizes out to you ASAP.
Yea, well my friend picked Ben Bishop… so, uh..
What a dumbass lol
I did not approve my girlfriend joining this pool. Her being in 8th is enraging. She will drop or risk being known as Brocks former Girlfriend.
PS, I am not brock
April 23 2014, 02:08PM
44 pts. I also picked Nyquist,Richards, Couturier.. nadda pts *sigh*
April 23 2014, 03:14PM
Can't seem to find my team.
Show me your TD's.......
oops, sorry wrong draft.
April 23 2014, 03:27PM
Needs to be more trash talk. I AM NOT ENTERTAINED!
I love you!
My Krejci line will be kicking in soon I'm sure. Vault me right up the standings.
April 23 2014, 04:09PM
Let's do get used to future playoffs pools without any Oilers. Or... maybe Gagner only next year wherever else he ends up.
a link would be nice--too lazy for typin'
tied for number 8. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Oiler Domination To Follow
If the 9th overall can get you Schneider...
Would the right return for our 2014 3rd Overall, Yakupov, Gagner, and the 2015 First Rounder(potential McDavid-Eichal lottery) be Eric and Jordan Staal.
Imagine Eakins having the option to send Staal, Hopkins, Staal, or Gordan out there to matchup against the big centers on the west coast(Kopitar, Getzlaf, Thornton, Keslar, etc).
These additions would finally give a coach in Edm a chance to succeed
who picked FLEURY? raise your hand do not be shy.
These guys at the top could run the team better than Lowe
April 24 2014, 01:35AM
As an Oilers fan...Whats a playoffs?
I loaded up on Oilers. How am I doing?
@Danger Pay
-Live update: The Canucks are not going to the playoffs.
-Winning not compatible with Sedin software.
-Trojan Mike Gillis.
-Please restore system to date of 1970.
Needs to be more trash talk. I AM NOT ENTERTAINED!
You are an idiot. How's that.
April 24 2014, 11:51AM
Thanks buddy.
Lets stop the craziness , and trying to chase the WEbers, Subans, OELs, Seabrooks etc etc of the world. First these guys dont come to a bottom feeder, and secondly who needs Webbers contract.
Yes you cant have 4 or 5 greenies on the back end, but surely hang on to these guys, and send them back to junior or AHL .In the interm chase some of the UFAs for a 2 year deal ,until the greenies come along.
You give up assets you worked to acquire and develop to chase the Webbers and still not make the play offs next year.
Stralmn, Haniney, Nitkitan, Niskeanen, Sarich, Orpik, Engelland, Kostka Stralman, Quincey, are UFAs. Yes probably half will be signed by their current clubs, but these guys are all playing in the playoffs.. thats more than you can say about Petry,Shultz and Fraser.

It's been a busy week for the young royals, culminating tonight in Prince William's annual visit to the charity fundraising dinner held by women hedge-fund chiefs at St. James's Palace in London.
The Duke of Cambridge is the patron of the charity, 100 Women in Hedge Funds Philanthropic Initiatives; this is his third year attending the gala, and he also delivered a short speech. But he was on his own; his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was not scheduled to accompany him.
The couple were together for public engagements on Monday and Tuesday, and had been due to visit northeastern England together on Wednesday. Instead, Catherine went alone to Newcastle — to smashing success — while William went to Essex, east of London, to attend the funeral of his former childhood nanny, Olga Powell, who died last week.
Still, they met up again late Wednesday for a private party at LouLou's, a posh club in the posh Mayfair neighborhood of London, along with her sister, soon-to-be-author Pippa Middleton, and his cousin, Princess Eugenie.
Will and Kate went home shortly after midnight; Pippa and Eugenie stayed to party for a few more hours. Pippa's long-awaited book about party planning, Celebrate, is coming out Oct. 30, but her U.S. publisher confirmed she would not be doing any interviews in either the U.K. or the USA to promote the book.
The news would be a disappointment for some of the big media guns such as Oprah, Barbara Walters, Ellen DeGeneres and the like, some of whom were prepared to offer major money to persuade her to sit down with them, according to the New York Daily News.
It always was up in the air whether she would agree to answer questions about her personal life, let alone her sister's, but it became even less likely after topless photos of the duchess were published last month in Europe, the News reported, quoting an unidentified source.

Students with Disabilities
In 1998–1999, 6 million children (ages 0 to 21), or about 13% of public school children, were enrolled in special education programs. Slowly increasing numbers and proportions of children are being served in programs for the disabled. During the 1990–1991 school year, 11% of students were served in these programs compared with 13% in 1998–1999. Some of the rise since 1990–1991 may be attributed to the increasing proportion of children identified as learning disabled, which rose from 5% of enrollment to 6% of enrollment in 1998–1999.
NOTE: Because of rounding, details may not add to totals. (—) = not available.
1. Based on the enrollment in public schools, kindergarten through 12th grade, including a relatively small number of prekindergarten students. Includes students ages 3 to 21.
2. Less than .05%.
3. Includes preschool children ages 3 to 5.
4. Included in count by specific disability.

Mental Illness Awareness Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dany Morin Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise in the House today in support of Mental Illness Awareness Week, which runs from October 2 to 8 in Canada this year.
Mental Illness Awareness Week was established nearly 20 years ago in order to highlight the challenges and successes of the roughly one in five Canadians who are living with or have had a mental illness. This is also an opportunity for me to join the thousands of Canadians who are calling on this government to implement measures to deal with this issue that costs the Canadian economy close to $14 billion annually.
In 2003, health agencies in Canada joined forces to call for a national plan of action on mental health. Some eight years later, we are still waiting. During this Mental Illness Awareness Week, I am calling on the Canadian government to show its commitment and dedication to all affected Canadians, their doctors and their families by coming up with an effective, comprehensive mental health action plan.
Harvest for Hunger
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week, in Perth—Wellington, 120 combines will harvest 160 acres of soy beans in less than 10 minutes. If all goes as planned, not only will the participants break a world record, but they will also raise over $200,000 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. What is more, CIDA will match these funds four to one, making this Harvest for Hunger event worth close to $1 million.
As hon. members know, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of Canadian churches and church-based agencies working to end hunger in developing countries.
I am very proud of the hard work that the Harvest for Hunger organizers have put into this event. This is a fun and exciting example of government, community organizations and individual Canadians partnering together to change the world.
Women's History Month
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Michelle Rempel Calgary Centre-North, AB
Mr. Speaker, October is Women's History Month in Canada. This year's theme is "Women in Canadian Military Forces: A Proud Legacy".
Canadian women have a long history of excellence in military history. We are proud of their individual and collective achievement,s as well as their extraordinary dedication.
This year, we celebrate the full range of women's contributions to the military. Whether as members of the armed forces or as civilians providing support roles, women have worked on every front: on the battlefield, in the air and on the sea as pilots, navy commanders and peacekeepers, nurses and physicians, war artists, war correspondents and engineers.
We dedicate Women's History Month 2011 to them.
FRAPRU Social Housing Organization
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Pierre Nantel Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, today on World Habitat Day, I would like to show my support for a remarkable initiative undertaken by Quebec's Front d'action populaire en réaménagement urbain, or FRAPRU. This morning, in Ottawa and Quebec City, two caravans made up of FRAPRU members and 35 people living in inadequate or social housing demonstrated in front of the offices of the federal and provincial finance departments, and called for 50,000 new social housing units. And that is just for starters.
From October 3 to 9, about 80 people will criss-cross Quebec and travel 3,200 kilometres demanding the right to housing. Artists such as Judi Richards, Webster, Johanne Fontaine and Yvon Deschamps are participating in the caravan for social housing. Next Saturday, in Longueuil, which is in my riding, the two caravans will meet up in St. Mark Park for a rally. The event will come to a close next Sunday in Montreal.
As we all know, the NDP has been proposing a national housing strategy for quite some time. Let us applaud the FRAPRU initiative calling for access to housing for all.
Mental Health
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Blaine Calkins Wetaskiwin, AB
Mr. Speaker, this is Mental Illness Awareness Week and October 10 is World Mental Health Day.
Mental illness is a pervasive issue affecting the lives of many Canadians and their families. In Canada, it is estimated that one in five of us will experience a mental illness in our lifetime.
Canadians such as Dr. Austin Mardon, this year's winner of the Canadian Medical Association Medal of Honour, has demonstrated outstanding public commitment to raising awareness of mental health issues and diminishing the stigma and discrimination faced by Canadians living with mental illness.
I also invite members to acknowledge the many volunteers and donors who help support initiatives like the Kids Help Phone. In 2010, almost 30% of the calls made to the Kids Help Phone related to mental or emotional health struggles.
Our government is committed to improving the mental health and well-being of Canadians. In 2007, we invested $130 million over 10 years to create the Mental Health Commission of Canada. In 2008, we provided an additional $110 million over five years to the commission for research in mental health and homelessness.
I urge my colleague in the House and all Canadians to support those affected by mental illness and to help promote understanding of this disease.
International Seniors Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Jacob Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, October 1, I had the opportunity to celebrate International Seniors Day in my riding of Brome—Missisquoi with the Memphrémagog branch of the Association québécoise de défense des droits des personnes retraitées et préretraitées.
International Seniors Day coincides with the UN's International Day of Older Persons, an initiative designed to recognize the great contribution seniors make to society. This initiative encourages governments to implement policies that meet the needs of seniors.
International Seniors Day was an opportunity to recognize how important seniors are to Quebec and Canada and to acknowledge their contribution, whether it be in the home, the community or the business world.
It is essential that seniors be able to fully participate in Quebec and Canadian society under optimal conditions.
Sales Tax Harmonization
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, we have kept our promise.
Last Friday, our Prime Minister and the Premier of Quebec, Jean Charest, announced the conclusion of a memorandum of agreement regarding the harmonization of the Quebec sales tax with the federal goods and services tax.
This is excellent news for Quebec, which has been calling for this for a long time.
Our government delivered on a promise that it made in the Speech from the Throne. With this agreement, Quebeckers will no longer have to pay QST on the GST—no more "tax on tax".
Our Conservative government has proven that it is committed to working closely with the provinces and territories on their priorities, and this is an excellent example of how open federalism should work.
With this historic agreement, our Prime Minister has shown everyone that he is a friend of Quebec.
Bras d'Or Lakes
Statements By Members
October 3rd, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize the beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes in Cape Breton, a body of water that forms a true inland sea, which is special to many of us. This unique lake covers over 1,000 square kilometres.
In Dresden, Germany, on July 29, an international committee designated the Bras d'Or Lakes as the 16th UNESCO biosphere reserve in Canada. This designation results from the tireless efforts of many that started back in 2005. I, along with the member for Cape Breton—Canso, would like to send out a special recognition to the Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Association, whose passion and dedication was a big part of bringing this all together.
Celebrations were held at various communities on the weekend of September 17, featuring ceremonies and performances that represented the four leading cultures of the Bras d'Or Lakes: Mi'kmaq, Scottish, French and English. It was a great weekend, one in which I was proud to take part.
Congratulations to all who made this designation possible.
Democratic Reform
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, Premier David Alward announced this past weekend that his government intends to proceed with legislation giving New Brunswickers real input into choosing who represents their province in the Senate. As the member of Parliament for Saint John, I can say that this is good news for democracy and good news for my province.
As it stands, the Senate status quo is unacceptable. The Senate's legitimacy and effectiveness will be enhanced when senators have a democratic mandate from Canadians and can no longer serve terms as long as 45 years. It is our Conservative government's long-standing commitment to strengthen and enhance our democratic institutions so Canadians can be better represented by their government. That is why we introduced the Senate reform act.
As an Atlantic Canadian, the Senate could play an important role in giving us a greater voice in our democratic institutions if reasonable and achievable reform is made. Unfortunately, it seems that the opposition would rather support the Senate status quo than work with us to encourage other provinces to follow New Brunswick's lead.
Nancy Riche
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Ryan Cleary St. John's South—Mount Pearl, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Newfoundlander Nancy Riche, a champion of feminism, a giant of the union movement and fighter for social democracy.
Nancy rose from humble beginnings as a clerk in St. John's to become a key voice in Canadian labour during the 1980s and 1990s, rising to the position of secretary treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress. Nancy Riche was a feminist, socialist, activist and trade unionist. Nancy was probably best known in Newfoundland and Labrador for her work with the provincial New Democrats. The NDP are on the verge of a historic breakthrough in my home province and it is due in large part to her work.
What was Nancy like? Nancy was admitted to hospital late last week after suffering a heart attack. She was waiting for surgery and demanded—demanded—to carry out a telephone poll from her hospital bed. She was a tireless worker, adviser and friend to everyone.
Nancy passed away on Saturday at the age of 66. I would ask Nancy to please make sure she says hello to Jack.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Mark Strahl Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, BC
Mr. Speaker, the NDP claims it stands up for workers, but its actions tell a different story.
While NDP MPs found time to support a few dozen radical activists protesting against the Keystone XL pipeline, not a single NDP MP bothered to show up to support Canada's building trade unions at their event on Thursday night. Nine NDP MPs confirmed their attendance, but none showed up. Apparently the NDP support for union workers does not extend to those working in Canada's oil sands.
Forty percent of these workers are actively engaged in the oil and gas industry. Canada's oil sands directly employ 132,000 people and provide hundreds of thousands of indirect jobs across Canada. With Keystone XL and other projects, it is projected that Canada's oil sands will employ over 600,000 workers, directly and indirectly in the future.
The union official hosting the event Thursday said that the NDP would be very bad for workers and the entire Canadian economy. I could not agree more.
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister may not see how big the problems of Canada's economy are. Unemployment is going up. Stock markets are going down. The IMF says that the worst is yet to come.
The NDP has put forward an action plan. The House will vote on it today. Will the Conservatives join the NDP to promote job creation, strengthen pensions, improve aging infrastructure and maintain the public sector contribution to the economy?
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Saint Boniface
Shelly Glover Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, contrary to what was just said by the NDP, we are actually doing relatively well in Canada.
When we look at the facts, Canada has the best fiscal position in the G7, lowest net debt in the G7 and among the lowest deficits in the G7. We have created nearly 600,000 new jobs since July 2009, which is the strongest job creation record in the G7.
However, the global economic recovery remains fragile. We need the NDP to just hold on and wait for it. The next phase of the economic action plan is on its way to create more jobs and continue on this path of success.
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, during the last election, the NDP introduced a job creation plan.
The NDP proposed to reduce the small business tax rate from 11% to 9% in order to help this sector of our economy, which creates almost half of all new jobs.
Why does the Prime Minister not choose to help small businesses rather than giving billions of dollars in tax breaks to large, profitable corporations?
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Christian Paradis Minister of Industry and Minister of State (Agriculture)
Mr. Speaker, what we understand from the NDP's promises is that they would increase the tax burden by about $10 billion a year. That is unacceptable; it would kill the economy.
I would like to remind the hon. member that Quebec just received good news in this regard on Friday. A tax harmonization agreement was reached that will put $2.2 billion in Quebec's coffers. That is the type of action people expect.

Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study
103rd Annual Meeting
May 2-4, 2013, San Francisco Hilton Hotel, Financial District
Digital methods in the Liberal Arts have shifted from being a sideshow to a central act in the scholarly engagement with human culture. Though humanists and social scientists have used computation in their work for many decades, the amount of both digitized data and degree of algorithmic sophistication makes the present moment a crucial one for bringing together expertise and exchange of ideas in this area. Since our field studies nations with high levels of technical development and strong investments in large-scale digital cultural heritage projects, we face a special challenge in ensuring our methodologies are sophisticated enough to tackle a coming flood of Nordic 'big data.'

Item Details
- Width:
8 3/4 Inches
- Height:
20 1/2 Inches
- Period:
- Origin:
This rare and enchanting two-light candelabrum is a shining example of 19th-century interior lighting. Crafted of bronze ormolu in a luxurious Rococo design, the candleholder also features a wooden screen, framed in ormolu and embellished with a gilt Japonism-inspired design of a butterfly and flowers, that adjusts to the height of the candles as they burn. When the candles were lit, this screen shielded the eye from the harsh direct flame, and reflected the light back onto a wall, creating a softer light that illuminated a larger area. Candelabra like this first appeared in the late 18th century and still convey an air of elegance and sophistication.

Skip to comments.The Pineapple And The Hare: Can You Answer Two Bizarre State Exam Questions?
Posted on 04/26/2012 3:59:31 PM PDT by jacquej
A story and two questions on the New York state English exam taken by eighth-graders this week has stumped many including Jeopardy! star Ken Jennings.
The story titled The Pineapple and the Hare was included in a New York Daily News story about the consternation the questions have caused.
(Excerpt) Read more at npr.org ...
Just so you all know that teachers aren't all at fault. How can they deal with these "performance" exams with questions like this?
Didn't Maya Angelou read this at Clinton's inauguration?
OK, here is the actual link to the NYS test. All Freepers are now required to answer the questions, and then justify their answers.
I need some humor today, and I know you all are the very best, even though it isn't Friday. But, we are close, right?
oops, 4got the link! So bad.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Whoever wrote the question, judging by the syntax, seems to not have a very good grasp of our language.
Yes, but from the point of view of the crow.
Where is here. Being the actual link to the test?
Someone's smoking something.
It should be "like you and I".
1.) A bungee cord/Because of the owl.
2.) See #1.
It is a political allegory. The hare is Obama. The other animals are the gullible public. The pineapple is the national debt. The pineapple never really spoke; the hare is a ventriloquist. The hare confused and misdirected the other animals and then took off running. It was never seen again. The other animals (the public) were left with nothing but the debt which they were forced to eat. The End.
The Pineapple is a metaphor for social justice.
The author has all but disowned this piece of writing...because he'd never sell another book to the Education Department if he didn't.
Looks like what a night of dreams might yield up after spending the evening reading Aesop's fables.
Hmmm, SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea.....
Good Grief! Do you mean to tell me that my grandchildren have to answer questions like this on the state exam?
In the olden times, animals could speak English, just like you and me. There was a lovely enchanted forest that flourished with a bunch of these magical animals. One day, a hare was relaxing by a tree. All of a sudden, he noticed a pineapple sitting near him.
The hare, being magical and all, told the pineapple, "Um, hi." The pineapple could speak English too.
"I challenge you to a race! Whoever makes it across the forest and back first wins a ninja! And a lifetime's supply of toothpaste!" The hare looked at the pineapple strangely, but agreed to the race.
The next day, the competition was coming into play. All the animals in the forest (but not the pineapples, for pineapples are immobile) arranged a finish/start line in between two trees. The coyote placed the pineapple in front of the starting line, and the hare was on his way.
Everyone on the sidelines was bustling about and chatting about the obvious prediction that the hare was going to claim the victory (and the ninja and the toothpaste). Suddenly, the crow had a revolutionary realization.
"AAAAIEEH! Friends! I have an idea to share! The pineapple has not challenged our good companion, the hare, to just a simple race! Surely the pineapple must know that he CANNOT MOVE! He obviously has a trick up his sleeve!" exclaimed the crow.
The moose spoke up.
"Pineapples don't have sleeves."
"You fool! You know what I mean! I think that the pineapple knows we're cheering for the hare, so he is planning to pull a trick on us, so we look foolish when he wins! Let's sink the pineapple's intentions, and let's cheer for the stupid fruit!" the crow passionately proclaimed. The other animals cheered, and started chanting, "FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN!"
A few minutes later, the hare arrived. He got into place next to the pineapple, who sat there contently. The monkey blew the tree-bark whistle, and the race began! The hare took off, sprinting through the forest, and the pineapple ...
It sat there.
The animals glanced at each other blankly, and then started to realize how dumb they were. The pineapple did not have a trick up its sleeve. It wanted an honest race but it knew it couldn't walk (let alone run)!
About a few hours later, the hare came into sight again. It flew right across the finish line, still as fast as it was when it first took off. The hare had won, but the pineapple still sat at his starting point, and had not even budged.
The animals ate the pineapple.
And the two questions:
1. Why did the animals eat the pineapple?
a. they were annoyed
b. they were amused
c. they were hungry
d. they wanted to
2. Who was the wisest?
a. the hare
b. moose
c. crow
d. owl
Q. "When does the narwhal bacon?"
A. "At midnight"
Now you know.
here are my answers. the pineapple companies took over the hawaian government and forced them to sign with the united states. thus the test is culturally insensitive. the other character is a hare. hares have big ears. omoron has big ears. this is an attempt to insult the president
Good catch. The form of the sentence looks like it implies the object form of the pronoun, but what was forgotten is the implied "can."
Sounds ebonic.
Well, if you get "senile", at least they won't be scared!
I don't know but the brown dog barks at midnight and the chair is still against the wall.
Is that the guitar tab for "You Put The Wine In The Coconut"?
(never mind..it was a pineapple, I flunked.)
Phil DeFranco has his take on it this.
(starts at 0:55)
Another link to the same story.
6) A - switching between convo of Hare/Pineapple and the convo of the animals in the forest observing the H/P convo
7) C - The hare made an honest effort to win by running for two hours. The fruit was dishonest with everyone and so was eliminated from the group.
8) D - an owl is always the wisest animal
9) A and D - the moose and the crow suspected tricks but wanted to be in good with the dude with "special powers"
10) D - The hare would still have run and the moose and crow would be happy they had made a decision to support the hare based on logic.
11) C - no explanation required
Did I pass? ;)
It doesn't look that hard. 6B, 7C, 8?, 9A, 10D, 11C.
8 — which animal spoke the wisest words?
"You aren't even an animal! You're a tropical fruit!" the hare said.
"Pineapples don't have sleeves" an owl said.
"Romney probably expects us to root for Obama then look like fools when it loses," said a crow.
All of those are pretty wise sayings. Maybe it's the owl since that's the moral of the story. The hare's words are essentially the same but said less diplomatically.
Chinese educators are laughin' their flat butts off right now!
What language am you spoken?
The questions aren't hard and the answers are available in the multiple choices. It is about the dumbest g*****n story I've ever read.
I can't even set aside my sheer disbelief long enough to create a wise a$$ answer (although, limitless they would be). What can be said other than whiskey....tango....foxtrot?
"um hi", this story is so badly written it must have been penned by a five year old.
Why would an English speaking hare be enticed to run a race just to win a ninja and a lifetime supply of toothpaste? Carrots, yes. Toothpaste? no.
oh, and the pineapple won fair and square. He was at the finish line before the hare was.
The pineapple was eaten because it was defenseless.
The pineapple was the wisest. He won without moving.
If the pineapple had been armed, he would have had a freezer full of wild game.
Yes, but he got eaten, therefore making him foolish. And, was it a boy or girl pineapple?
Heres the "story"...
In the story, a take-off on Aesops fable about the tortoise and the hare, a talking pineapple challenges a hare to a race. The other animals wager on the immobile pineapple winning and ponder whether its tricking them.
When the pineapple fails to move and the rabbit wins, the animals dine on the pineapple.
Students were asked two perplexing questions: why did the animals eat the talking fruit, and which animal was wisest?
The pineapple is really Manuel Noriega, and he didn't run because he's stuck in US Federal Prison.
The animals ate the pineapple because they were afraid it was going to spill the beans!
>>>...."And, was it a boy or girl pineapple?<<<<
Nowadays it's hard to tell.
In the first version of the story, the hare is obviously the wisest because he wins a ninja and a lifetime's supply of toothpaste and all he has to do is beat an immobile pineapple.
And the animals ate the pineapple because they were waiting around for two hours when the pineapple could have simply forfeited. So they were hungry. Plus, Pineapples are for eating.
In the second version of the story, the hare is still the wisest because he still wins the race and even the owl who's finally turned up doesn't display wisdom so much as a keen sense of observation. And all the other animals think the pineapple is trying to trick them and they end up tricking themselves. Which is the opposite of wise. It is foolish.
And the animals eat the pineapple for the same reason I gave in the first version.
The long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous langour.
you know, Duke, I had one of those once, but the wheels fell off.
It was right after my beeper got totally stuned. Might there be a connection, or was it the shower I took?
Apparently, the only thing public schools do well these days is teach the anklebiters to sing adoring songs about Øbama.
the chair is against the wall
"Kids, this is what happens when you graduate from an Ivy League school with an advanced degree in "Writing" and six figures in loan debt."
I love Daniel Pinkwater's books. I highly recommend "Young Adult."
A moose ate me sister?

Terry hearing goes into third day
John Terry's disciplinary hearing will go into a third day on Wednesday as the Chelsea skipper continues to contest a charge of using racist language.
- Related Content
Terry is facing an FA independent regulatory hearing into a charge that he used racist language towards QPR's Anton Ferdinand in October last year.
The 31-year-old was accompanied by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck at the hearing at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday morning, and the defender departed shortly after 1pm.
He is expected to return on Wednesday to hear evidence in his favour - with team-mate Ashley Cole likely to be called upon again to testify.
Cole gave evidence that helped exonerate Terry in his Westminster Magistrates' Court case in July related to the same incident, telling the court: "We shouldn't be sitting here."
Meanwhile, former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins, who also testified on the defender's behalf in court, has said he is prepared to go to the FA hearing to support the player, who announced his international retirement on Sunday.
Wilkins told ESPN: "I called John immediately after his decision to resign from the England team to see how he is. We didn't talk about my attendance at the FA hearing, but I am there for him if he needs me.
"I gave evidence on his behalf at the magistrates' court and I would do so again at the FA hearing, if they wish me to."
The case centres around an incident during Chelsea's Barclays Premier League defeat at QPR on October 23 last year when Terry and Ferdinand clashed verbally on a number of occasions.
It set in motion a train of events that saw:
:: Terry charged with an offence by the Crown Prosecution Service :: stripped of the England captaincy :: the subsequent resignation of Fabio Capello as England manager in protest :: questions surrounding Terry's inclusion in the Euro 2012 squad and Rio Ferdinand's omission.
Terry was found not guilty in July of a racially-motivated public order offence with the prosecution unable to prove he had called Ferdinand a "f****** black c***" as an insult.
Terry admitted using the words, but insisted he had only been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying.
The FA's decision to press ahead with their own charges infuriated Terry to the extent that on the eve of the disciplinary hearing he announced he was quitting international football with immediate effect, saying his position was "untenable".
Terry's legal team had argued the governing body's own rules dictated his acquittal in court means the case cannot proceed but the FA believed their charge was distinct from the court charge.
The panel who handed Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an eight-match ban when they found him guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra last season declared at that time that simply using racist language was enough to constitute a breach of FA rules.

Enjoy Sunday football!
So far - Mark Sancheers and Tim Te-boooos. Is the Wildcat option really confusing the Bills, or are the Jets just clicking very well on all the standard plays? Great picks by their corners, BTW...
This is why preseason means nothing.

Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
