Thanks for nothing
March 30 2009 09:47AM
It took us 76 games, a hundred odd posts and a hojillion comments defending this team but it has finally happened. We have officially had enough of this shitanusly mediocre 2008-2009 Edmonton Oilers hockey squadron. Don't get us wrong. We sit firmly planted on the Oilers bandwagon. It's just that none of the players seem interested in driving us anywhere.
When the fans are more jacked up for the game than the players are – something is wrong.
We for one pity the poor old OilersNation, sitting there in the stands at RX1 and at home wanting something - anything - to cheer for. At a time when lots of folks are worried about losing their job, making rent and generally just getting by RX1 continues to sell out night after night. Once upon a time, there are a good many folk who were ballin' out of control with Oil comfortably over $100 per barrel. Now, not so much. Yet these same folk continue to shoulder the bulk of the ticket buying load, making a conscious decision to continue to spend hundreds of their hard earned dollars on "Oilers hockey" game after terrible game. There they were again last night, filling the arena to high in the rafters and even patiently standing on those little standing room only squares. Honest, hard working blue collar folk who continue to arrive in droves despite the absolute and total lack of commitment and desire to win on the ice that awaits them. And did they boo this awful bunch of cheque collecting, merlot drinking sissies? No. They sat glued to their seats hoping one of the players in Copper and Blue might find something resembling a beating heart late in the third period and step up to the plate.
In times like these it's staggering to realize that most people inside Rexall probably worked harder to get into the game than the bulk of the Oilers did during the game.
When your 46 year old goalie is starting his 98th game in a row – something is wrong.
When we saw Roloson face the media, tired as all hell, older than all hell, sweaty as all hell and having done all he could and yet taking the blame for the loss something inside us snapped. Are you kidding us Oilers? How in the sweet holy fuck can any of you sit around in the dressing room and see the old man in the corner who is absolutely busting his nuts and not feel guilty about the level to which you mail it in night after night? We can't help but feel terrible for Roloson at this stage of the game. So you let in a couple of floaters early on Roli. Who gives a shit? See the other guys sitting there on the bench wearing the same jersey as you? Those idiots are supposed to do more than come down and give you a supportive whack on the pads after they have collapsed yet again. They are supposed to go down into the opposition's end and score a few of their own and bail you out.
Nothing here is your fault Sir. We salute your efforts. You are an absolute warrior and if we have ever chirped you on this site we humbly apologize. The rest of you Oilers? Whatever.
When you need a leader to step up and pop in a late goal and nothing arrives – something is wrong.
Where in the fuck was anything resembling a leader with the season hanging in the balance? Where was a single one of these overpriced boneheads when it counted? Nowhere, that's where and it breaks our fucking heart to see this team mail it in night after night. What the hell is Kay-Z paying for here exactly? The cheques that you deposit with charming regularity are real gentlemen. The effort most of you are putting out on the other hand - is not.
Shame on the whole fucking team except Roli. Do any of you have any interest in stepping up and saving this season? Any of you at all? Hemsky - you seem to be a talent. Where are you with the game on the line last night? Horcoff? What about you? You have taken mad heat for signing a huge contract. Why not quiet your haters by popping in a goal here or there? We could go on down the list, but what is the use?
The I told you sos
Yeah Brownlee we get it. You predicted that the Oilers wouldn't make the playoffs. This entire team is riddled with problems and you saw that and were able to inspire the legions of Oilers haters all year. You haters were all so wise and gave up on the team in the preseason whereas it took us till game 76 of a terrible season before we had our fill. Well you know what? We would rather have hope for 7 months of the year that things could turn out than write them off before the season rolls.
But that's just how we roll.
And all the people that are going to come on here today and tell us how smart they were to know that the team sucked the entire year and this result was a foregone conclusion? Fuck you too. It's hilarious that you would surface now to rub salt in the wounds of the thousands on here that have lived and died with this team the entire season. If we could meet some of you in person this morning we would sucker punch you directly in the face and then stand over you waiting to see if you have any interest in making other smart ass remarks. So shut it. Brownlee is a professional journalist who isn't supposed to be a fan of the team. We understand why he makes predictions and then stands by them. The rest of you so called fans that come on here to hate - what possible motivation do you have to get up in the morning? To shit on everyone else's parade?
The Oilers should never have traded Ryan Smyth. He would have scored last night with the season on the line.
There we said it.
Wow...On point.
Can we start mulling over the next Oilers head coach now?...the team reflects their coach. Never too exicited, never too dejected, mono tone and emotionless...fantastic strategy.
Pat Quinn, imagine the presser if he were coach..
Thank you for speaking my mind this morning. Last night something deep inside me snapped. It is just so hard to care and believe when no one on the damn team seems to.
my sympathies dude. You put your heart out there to get stomped on and it got crushed. It feels like the 90's all over again, without the hope or joy.
I'm with you on the haters too - while they are laying on the ground from your sucker punch, I can stand there yelling "you want some more, huh? huh?" (but I reserve the right to run like a coward, 'cause I suck in a fight - maybe I can still play for this year's Oil?).
A-fucking-men, brother. A-fucking-men.
*pops open a real European beer, tries to shoot AK-47 in the air, realizes it's out of bullets*
Come on you guys, here's where the going gets tough. are we going to bend over just a little adversity i think we should....
*realizes how silly it sounds, even to myself **chokes on own words as tears fill my eyes
I was believing right up to the buzzer last night. Now, not so much. I always thought they'd find 'IT' sometime this season but I think it is too late. I still hope in my heart for all lack of commmon sense and reason that they win and still make it but in my mind, the writing is on the wall. I said it in another post, a .500 hockey team is just not good enough.
The Oilers are at best a .500 team ( I know they are actually under .500 if you look at their W, L and OTL). I just don't see 'IT' when I watch them.
I will still hope against all hope for them to win but it is a mighty struggle.
Thanks Oilers.
I agree with your points Wayne, and I too feel the frustration, but we've come too far to give up now. We have to go down with the ship. There's still hope...
So now what?

Jono, you took the words right out of my head for sure. My face was actually sore today from the bitter look I held all night last night. I'm actually dreading my birthday this year as it is the last game of the season and I'm sure to get driven into the ground by every flames, canucks and hawks fan I know. I hope to be so drunk by the end of that game that I cant even see or hear the riducule I will no doubt face.
Prove me wrong oilers!!! Win 5 out of the next 6 and show me that you guys actually have heart under that jersey!!
*sinks in chair, feels sorry for the nation......*
March 30 2009, 10:38AM
While I agree with most of your post, Wanye, that last line is the crap we've been hearing for 2 years. Should've kept Smyth
Like thats our one big problem.... Fact is, he was well past his prime when we traded him, it was the right move. If we are just gonna bitch about past trades, lets bitch about Gretzky. Either way, it's a stupid argument.
The pic at the top of the article says it all, Smyth, Hossa, Glencross, Jagr, it doesn't matter who's on the bench when we have MacT behind it.
Someone get this guy a Bud Light!!!!
Great article too bad none of the players can read. maybe that might motivate them. We are Oiler fans but where is the management in this? we kept hearing after 20, 40, 60 games but we got nothing. Our hopes will be shattered tomorow. Sad day for this once proud team.
You are the best writer ever. *wiping tears into an open can of warmish Bud Light*
All I have left is the hope that the Flames fall flat on their face in the first round... Again.

Smart money sez if the Oil win their next game, we are starting a cup run. This is so old it's getting old.
They win and legions of fans pour out of the woodwork exclaiming the team's greatness.
They lose and Wanye gets to swear.
Forget MacT what about the dumb motherfucker captain who gets inopportune penalties?
What about the captain, you know, the one responsible for his team, who can't light a fire under his teammates.
How about we get a new captain in the offseason that players will listen to? Maybe Souray?
I pray that the owner is quietly working on PLAN B.
Yeah, just like the pill, PLAN B. Abort this ugly miscarriage of team and management before it grows any larger.
March 30 2009, 10:52AM
I still think we have a good team... they just need to be motivated. How do you motivate a slug to move faster? Either threaten it, or lure it with bait. Since the threats have not really paid dividends (Penner works for a couple games after being benched) how about a little motivation? An impromptu trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame? A viewing of some sort of emotional Youtube video showing teams winning the cup and showing the grit and determination needed to get there? Maybe bring the stanley cup in to the dressing room but don't let anyone touch it? Hookers...lots of dirty hookers?

*Weeps openly has he salutes his Wanye Gretz flag*
So do we just throw out the Oilers bed, or do we wash it, or what? Because they've crapped it pretty terribly all season. Ah well. There's always next year. Right? RIGHT??
Boys you gotta cheer for Calgary over any US team, simple as that.
Keep Airbag Smyth, no way, ask Fred about what he said on his radio show when he was at the other station. Fred is not a fan of Smyth so you know he was not well liked by his teammates.
When Roli is gone after the season, our MVP, what does that say about the organization? KLOWE, LISTEN NOW, GET THE F%CK OUT OF TOWN, NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE.
Come on Katz say or do something, or do you even know how? What makes you different than any other owner who is greedy. At least Peter Puck talked to us.
Oiler fans,including me, speak up and let the team know how unhappy you all are. Come on

No. NO. That is absolute crap. I f*cking hate when people say that. Basically what you're saying is that you'd be fine getting beaked three times harder by Flames fans if they god forbid win the cup. Do you really want to live with insufferable Flames fans when they actually have something to brag about? I sure as hell don't. At least if the Ducks or the Bruins or someone like that wins we don't have to deal with it year round.

Good post Wanye.
I just listened to the post game comments, what a joke.
Craig has given up, he sounds like a man thats run out of options. Gagner and Kotalik throw in the typical cliche's we have used all year, "we need to play 60 minutes", "we need to be desperate" and so on. We were using the "we need to play 60 minutes" excuse in november, when does it apply??? with 6 games left??? And to top it all off our grossly overpaid first line center seems to think we have "lots" of games left to right the ship. 6 is lots?? not when 5 of them need to be a W!
we win tomorrow... and Chicago beats St Loser on Wednesday... we're back in 8th! WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GOOOOOOOOILERS!!

I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater. End of story.
The worst part was that for the last half of the 3rd, they looked like the team we were all expecting to see this season. Getting bodies and pucks to the net, skating with skill and speed, 4th line dumping and chasing and mucking, Pisani playing like an NHL player... I don't think the rest of the game was TERRIBLE, but they certainly weren't effective until the end of the game. If being in 10th doesn't create some urgency against Anaheim, it's officially over for this year.
All that said, they were better year than last year, and logic says they should be better next year too. Put Roli in a hyperbaric chamber and get him ready for 82 games next year. I recommend embalming fluid in a gatorade bottle.
March 30 2009, 11:32AM
Im so dissapointed, i actually thought we could fight for the division...so naive... good wanye, someone had to say it.... come on katz what are you going to do now.!!!!
March 30 2009, 11:34AM
Calgary? ROFL! No freaking way. Never. Not going to happen. I hate Vancouver but they are NOT the fLames. I hate the fLames. Hate them.
Finally someone speaking it like it is. I couldn't agree more with everything you said. Thanks for the post. I jsut wish the oiler players would read this.
March 30 2009, 11:40AM
WOW that is alot of Eff Bombs Wanye.
Epic - on a day where Eff bombs can only describe the hate & disgust for our team.
Like I said before the 2 play-off tickets that were paid & delivered last week are worthless now. It drives me crazy that these guys cannot find the motivation to control their own destiny. Win & you're in, but we in Edmonton like winning 1 & losing 2 - then hoping the teams behind or in front of us go on a apocalyptic losing streak.
TIRED OF SNEAKING INTO PLAY-OFFS!!! Gawd Dammit you over paid hacks!!!
I have never been a "hater" and have always hoped that this season's version of the Oilers could be a contender. I am an original fan that now lives in Calgary; imagine how the local media here are savouring over the Oil once again missing the playoffs. Sad to say, however, I didn't expect a much different outcome than what has occurred. Insanity has been described as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome. This seems to be a description of the Oilers' hockey ops people. There were early predictions about finishing atop of the NW Division. A pipe dream, considering the team started with the same coaches and the forwards on the team were built around players that are soft, generally small and puck control is definitely not their strong point. Moreau and Horcoff were coming off major injuries at the start of the year and KLowe hadn't added an impact forward. Penner had been a huge disappointment previously and GlenX was allowed to depart to Calgary. And the team started with three goaltenders, not a good omen. It may be a blessing in disguise that the Oil are out of the playoffs; the results call for a major overhaul. Let's hope that this occurs, for the good of the super supportive fans and the city's sports reputation.
MacT was at a loss for words, reminds me of the year he gave up when Smyth was traded.
Good god, am I really hearing people say we have to cheer for Vancouver or Calgary because they're Canadian teams? Fuck them! I'm not going to sell out to shit just because it's located in Canada.
I'll watch the playoffs and I'll root for s few teams here and there, but I'm an Oilers fan therefor I'll be cheering for the Flames and the Canucks to face a first round exit.
And Roli: If someone like Detroit shows interest in you in the offseason don't, under any circumstances, re-sign with the Oilers! You deserve better then this bullshit.
March 30 2009, 11:44AM
Is it too early to start discussing the draft? :p
So I take it that the local hockey squadron is not doing well...? *Reminisces about following hockey a little too closely in the 1990s, then giving up on the whole thing completely*
Lets get together and say a prayer for our 0.5% of getting Tavares
Yeah im a nucks fan, but I just love the writers and the post from you guys on here. Its entertaining to read while Im at work.. Anyway I know everyone is blaming MacT and rightfully so, but I caught some of the game last night and I think the problem lies with your *skilled* guys more than anyone else... I mean where was that clutch goal or play when you needed it? Like I live here in Edmonton and I've seen a ton of oil games basically because I just love hockey( only just got center ice so i can finally watch my boys out west) But even I remember watching the oil crash and bang and create something amazing when the game/season was on the line. The oil need to clean house and find some real heart and soul guys...ie Big George Smitty and Gator... what happened to that team? when even if im not a fan I could still enjoy watching them play a half decent game.
March 30 2009, 11:54AM
Cheer for the Flames? Crap. Cheer for anyone else? Crap.
The right answer is, the Oilers are out, who cares as long as it's not Calgary.
I would rather see the Atlanta Thrashers win 7 cups in a row than see the Flames won a single playoff series. It's in my blood. I just hate 'em, and I cannot bear to listen to Flames fans gloat about ANYTHING.
This sucks. Oh well, there's still a chance I guess.
Boys and girls, Calgary's red mile has way better hooters than Wyte ave. You gotta think big picture. So what that the city of Calgary is laughing at Edmonton and their new and improved owner and the team's high profile PRESIDENT. Maybe we should call KLOWE, Mr. Bush. Mr Bush left US in a mess and seems to me Oil in a mess.
Go Hooters Go
I guess MacT did a good job quelling the optimism.
Oh, and Lowe... Goog call on Bobby Ryan... Could you guys please draft some "busts" like him?
*Rolling his eyes while listening to Gagner claim he wasn't aware that St Louis, Anaheim, And Nashville had all won earlier that day...*
Wanye, you're my hero. FMNF.
@ AlBundy: You want boobs, I'm pretty sure there are a few places on these here internets to find 'em. This is Hockey.
Oilers Love = Flames Hatred

Emjoi Epilator Removes Hairs on Your Face or in Delicate Areas for Smooth Skin
Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ChildofSea I think this will work well! I just received this, and AFTER reading the instructions, I think this is a winner! You need to understand this is not a shaver. DO NOT press it to the surface of your skin! You need to keep it just above the skin, so that the fine hairs are caught and pulled out. I used it on my upper lip, chin, and pesky sideburns -- I have very short hair. The hairs are gone. There is no redness, only a slight tingle, which you feel when tweezing eyebrows. I think the trick is to be careful and don't run it across your skin! October 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rocket A Vast improvement over chemicals or shaving First, I plucked my facial hair - incredibly painful, even using ice or azulene lotion to calm the pain. Second, I used to use assorted depillatories, and would end up with very sensitive skin for several days after. Third, I gave up on both those methods, and started shaving, which resulted in cuts, rashes, and redness. Finally, I decided to invest in the Emjoi, and even though it does take time to get used to it, it leaves my skin feeling great, and lasting days longer between uses. I'm very happy with my Emjoi.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Suska Remove that Hair Have used it on my Mustache and beard (growth due to medication) and it works. What more can I say. September 17, 2015

No more soapy water mess! No more standing on one foot in the shower! Regrowth is very light and sparse. Gets 5 stars from me for sure! June 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sandy in AZ Great product This little gadget is a terrific find! It is easy to use, convenient, and economical. So happy that I tried it!!! June 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CatPower Love This Tool I have an electric larger version by Emjoi but it was awkward to use on the face and smaller areas. I thought the fact that this one was battery powered would make it less effective. No way! This one works just as well and is perfect for the face, bikini, and underarms. Do not hestitate to get this--it works very well to get rid of unwanted hair anywhere! It is also a perfect size for travel. March 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Picky buyer This product is amazing! This Epilator works so efficiently at such a bargain price. After I use it, I can go almost 3 weeks without having to use it again. I have tried an Epilator from another store that was $100 more than this one and did not work. I am so pleased with the quality of products here at such a good price. Thanks! February 23, 2015

Published in MHPG Newsletter
Reviewed by: Gretchen Sewall, R.N., LIC.S.W., Chair, MHPG Education Committee
A short online description of the book, Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates: Answering Tough Questions and Building Strong Families suggests Diane Ehrensaft presses "parents and others to investigate emotional issues they are likely to encounter over time" in families beginning with genetic donation or surrogacy. Recently, I attempted to explain the premise of this book to a bright young friend who is soon to embark on her own journey to graduate school for advanced degrees in social work and public health. While sipping on white port and enjoying freshly roasted almonds, she cautiously asked, "Do you honestly think parents-to-be want to consider, or even discuss, Ehrensaft's idea that their future child will have a lifelong fantasy relationship with the genetic donor, or that they will discuss that the husband (sitting in front of you) is about to create life with a young, attractive and very fertile woman who is not his wife?" "Well no", I said, "but I do try to encourage clients to shift from the grief and losses of infertility or in cases of single or same sex couples, to move from the all-consuming hurtles of picking a bank, and donor, while mastering the art of ovulation prediction, to a more child-focused view." Most often, I have an hour, just one chance to bring the client to a place of envisioning the intra-psychic, interpersonal and developmental tasks of families built with help from what Ehrensaft calls "the birthother". Again, my young friend asked, "Do you think this psycho-educational session is therapeutic or educational for your clients?" This is the intent and purpose. I admitted to my inspired friend that this session is tricky, as it can dissolve into a mildly irritating, required hour before the client tries to have a very much wanted child. Like third-party family building itself, this session represents risk and opportunity for mental health professionals.
If you are among our many members who already have read Mommies, Daddies, Donors and Surrogates (2005) I'd suggest you thumb through this book again. Dr. Ehrensaft's book is filled with almost "everything we need to know"; and now, with frozen oocytes (and embryos) on the market, it's even more timely. Still yet to be articulated is the best delivery modality, interval and timing of her news for parents and families. Perhaps this is the content of another book, still to be written.
When I spoke to Diane Ehrensaft last month, I was reminded of the benefits of serving on the MHPG Education Committee. I am grateful for the privilege and pleasure of conversation and the chance to ask questions of one of our instrumental leaders and educators in our field.
GS: "Diane, your book covers the topics MHPG members are heart deep into–every day. How can you best capture or summarize your message?"
DE: "We know assisted technology is no longer a wave of the future; it's a strong surge of the present. While it helps more and more families, it still doesn't and can't answer the new generation questions that lead to behaviors, interactions and internal lives in the family after the child is born. This is where the mental health professional (MHP) comes in and what I wanted to get at in my book. Our work is to understand the real roots and weeds, as well as recognize the health in these families. My hope is to bring together the thinking and feeling parts of the adult self to recognize and name the creative tension of making life and kinship with many others."
GS: "Ok, you have my interest- How do you conceptualize this? Can you give it a form or structure?"
DE: "Rather than a genogram, I see these birth other constructed families as "family circles" that take place on cognitive, physical and emotional levels over the course of the developmental life span. A cross section, freeze-frame view of this gives you a developmental point in time with zoom lens capacity into any one or several elements of the family circle."
GS: "Would you give me an example of this?"
DE: "Consider the mother-to-be. Her interpersonal life is challenged by power or powerlessness- fertility or infertility. Does she have ownership of the pregnancy (and her child), or is it a collaboration with the donor? Connected to this is the illusion of consumer control or perfectibility. The natural tension within her interpersonal life penetrates her world of belonging. Do I belong to my child, does she belong to me-or more to my partner? Identity and belonging are backdrops to the disclosure discussions of the MHPs every day."
"Have you seen cases of the older woman using TDI/DEP who talks comfortably about sperm donation, all the while not mentioning egg donation? Parents need opportunity for their many thoughts and feelings to be "metabolized". This is the antidote preventing the internal tension from moving into the interpersonal place of the nobody in the circle not belonging or being within the family circle."
GS:" Yes. What happens then within the interpersonal place of mother and child when the mother privately questions her full belonging in motherhood, of her child and in her family?"
DE: "If for example, the power to be mother shifts and originates from her power to purchase 'perfect', the mother becomes anxious and intolerant of the emergence of the imperfect child."
"As we know, in early childhood relationships, and people are understood based on geography. They may simply see the donor or surrogate as 'where they came from'. By eleven or twelve, there is an unfolding of the child's own mental life with the birthother. With language acquisition and development, he or she will verbalize this normative tension in the inner world. The parents' state of ease or anxiety can inhibit the developmental point of view of the adolescent. Correcting the child's language by turning the child's 'donor mom' into the ' nice lady who helped us', or topic avoidance aimed at soothing parental dis-ease, rewrites the child's narrative of birthother and self by turning it inward."
GS: "Your saying, the child's natural fantasies of the birthother co-exist within the realities of parentage, family and genetics?"
DE: "Yes, of course. The child, like the parent, needs the emotional space of expression. Families or community with resiliency and health, have room for this ongoing process, internally and interpersonally throughout family life. On the other hand, at each critical point or stage, the inner- world tension can take primacy over the relationship and the family itself."
GS: "This all brings me back to the one, and usually only encounter the MHP has at the critical point of pre-parenthood. How can we possibly set the stage for healthy and resilient family growth?"
DE: "That's the first, pre baby step, the first visit is the beginning and not the end of your relationship with the family. Somewhat like adoption, this is lifelong and will be experienced anew, many, many times. What comes next is the continual challenge of creating space and opportunity for ongoing relationships which truly assist reproductive technology family building."
GS: "A colleague suggests a way to support ongoing relationships with families is to create a 'family building' page on the ART clinic websites, with class offerings, resources and networking opportunities. Would this be the next step?"
DE: "Yes, that seems like a natural way to keep the connection and support alive. Could this also be a place to offer various forms of ID release for birthothers, parents and interested young adults?"
GS: "That would be my hope and dream. Thank you, Diane. We are ready for that next book!"

The '90s have been back in action style-wise for a few years now thanks to a wave of nostalgia that made it okay to walk around major metropolitan areas dressed like Zack Morris again. But when you dig a little deeper past the idea of acid wash, neon, and trapper-keepers, you find that the most basic style lines and silhouettes of the '90s actually did get left behind. And with good reason. Enjoy these vintage '90s magazine ads (mostly for mass market brands) and the denim atrocities they have immortalized.

Canadian comeback falls just short against Brazil
LANGLEY, B.C. (September 28, 2012) – Canada suffered its first loss at the U23 Pan American Cup men's volleyball tournament on Friday but didn't go down without a fight. Brazil took the match 25-19 25-15, 21-25, 24-26, 16-14 at the Langley Events Centre.
The Canadian team, represented by the Trinity Western University Spartans, were led by Jansen Van Doorn with 18 points, including eight kills and nine blocks; Nick Del Bianco, who had a match-high 17 kills and Brad Kufske, who had 15 kills and two blocks.
Trinity Western libero-turned-setter Jarrod Offereins had his best outing at his new position, collecting a match-high 36 running sets.
The win improves Brazil to 3-0 in the tournament while the loss drops Canada to 2-1. The Canadians are tied in second spot with Argentina. Canada faces Argentina on Saturday in the last round robin match for both teams. The winner will face likely face Brazil in the final on Sunday.
"They came out really sharp and put us in a lot of trouble," Spartans coach Ben Josephson said of the Brazilians. "Our ball control wasn't good enough to play with them in the first two sets. But then we cleaned up our ball control, which forced them to hit the ball a little harder, which allowed our block to score. It was a game of checkers or chess and it was really fun volleyball to make plays and respond back and forth to each other."
The Brazilians came out with a strong opening set and were largely in control throughout. With Brazil up 12-11, the visitors went on a 4-1 run that took them into the technical timeout with a four-point edge. While the Spartans got the next two points, Brazil didn't allow them to get any closer as they wrapped things up by pulling away late and finishing with a six-point win.
In the second, it was more of the same. With the score 17-14 for Brazil, the South Americans put the hammer down and buried the Spartans 25-15.
In the third set, however, the tide turned the Spartans way.
With Trinity Western trailing 16-15, the Jansen Van Doorn wall took over. With a devastating block leading the way, the Spartans went on a 7-0 run that got the crowd roaring and the momentum firmly on Trinity Western's side. From there, the Spartans held on for a 25-21 win.
In the fourth set, Brazil jumped out to a 10-6 lead and looked to be putting an early end to the match. But the Spartans never quit as they went on a 5-1 run, capped by a Kufske kill, to knot the set 11-11. However, each time the Spartans got close, Brazil pulled away, never allowing Trinity Western to take the lead. But with the score 24-22 and Brazil serving for the match, Trinity Western rallied. Scoring four straight points, led by a pair of set-turning kills from Del Bianco, the Spartans sent the match to a fifth set.
In the final set, the Spartans pulled out to a 9-6 lead but in the end couldn't quite complete the comeback. With Trinity Western serving for the match at 14-13, Brazil roared back with three straight points to win 16-14.
Jarrod Offereins, Canada's captain said: "Tonight was an unreal experience. Brazil is the best team in the tournament and we were just hoping to have a good game and compete with them and come out strong. It was nice to get some momentum from the crowd. We haven't had that since nationals and it was fun to have that environment."
In Friday's other match, the Dominican Republic defeated Mexico 25-19, 25-19, 25-18.
Both teams conclude their round robin Saturday with Canada playing Argentina at 8 p.m. and Brazil taking on Mexico at 6 p.m.

The only time any police department fails to solve any crime is when they start using undercover cops. Undercover cops violate all law and order of constitutional government. They create crime where there is no crime.
A lot has been said about the CIA and the leadership lately. When you consider those who organized the CIA and brought into focus undercover cops to all American law enforcement agencies, as a way to curb crime. Crime has increased.
We are not the police for the world economy. Foreign trade must include labor as much as any business. Otherwise, there is no balance. When a government excludes labor, we end up with a fascist government, and that is where we are headed.
The CIA, FBI, and all governments, must discontinue the overuse of undercover cops or else there is no constitution.
Liberals and conservatives are the problem with the United States. We are a divided nation. We must bring the secular and religious people back together as Americans. How, no one knows or seems to care. Surely, there is a way.
Working people who are not afraid of using their hands to work with can see the facts.
Ever since Senator Barry Goldwater wrote the book, "The Conscience of a Conservative," the religious right has abused conservatism as a means of taking over the conservative thinking of economics. Even Goldwater knew it was a dangerous ideology, that the far right, religious radicals were heading for.
Every person has the right to believe or not to believe.
What has happened to the Grand Ole Party of the Taft Hartley era, when constitutional laws were made called anti-trust laws?
We all need to learn the difference between a capitalist government and a free enterprise government. Look it up in a dictionary.

Train derails in central MaineAP , Associated Press
Jul. 3, 2013 12:04 PM ET
VEAZIE, Maine (AP) — Pan Am Railways says four tanker cars have gone off the tracks near the Penobscot River in central Maine, but nobody's hurt and nothing has spilled.
Executive Vice President Cynthia Scarano says three cars carrying liquid carbon dioxide and an empty tanker derailed at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday near the Veazie-Bangor town line.
Scarano says the 92-car train was traveling from Mattawamkeag to Waterville, carrying wallboard, wood products, sand, scrap metal and other products.
The company has called for a crane, and the derailed cars are expected to back on the rails within 24 hours. Scarano says the carbon dioxide doesn't pose safety or environmental risks.
Scarano says the locomotive and the cars that were in front of the derailed cars are continuing to Waterville.

Skip to comments.New Russian Ballistic Missile Fails
Posted on 10/25/2006 8:28:21 AM PDT by SmithL
An experimental Russian ballistic missile veered off its course shortly after having been launched from a Russian nuclear submarine and fell into the sea Wednesday, officials said, its second launch failure in as many months that signals serious problems with the nation's much-lauded new weapon.
The Bulava missile was launched from the Dmitry Donskoy nuclear submarine in the White Sea toward a testing range on the fareastern Kamchatka Peninsula, but it veered off its designated flight path and fell into the sea, the navy said in a statement.

And people say there's no good news.
another putin failure...
Perhaps it's tiny tuning fork guidance system failed...
They have neither the engineering nor materials to advance their technology at the rate necessary to avoid these failures.
That has to be the winner for esoteric reference of the week.
Yeah, but I was confident a Freeper would decode it.
"They have neither the engineering nor materials to advance their technology at the rate necessary to avoid these failures."
All their engineers are in Israel.
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
Using storren North Korean technoragy, no doubt...........
In a related story, Bill Clinton has boarded a plane for Moscow with secret missle schematics.
No wonder they couldn't get it up!
As they say in southern russia, "Shitski, y'all!"
Eee-merr-gen-cee... Everybody to get from street.
I think this is the second time its fails in 4 months. Bwhahaha.
We are of course, Norwegians!
" Whitaker Walt...there is to be World War III..and everyone is blaming YOU"!
Confusus say, "Man who speaks softly of tiny forked tongue in exoterra reference must carry large spoon to rocket launcher."
I guess we have proof who is sharing missle tech with "dear leader"
I believe that these Russian tests and problems with them are highly indicative of how effective the US SDI/ missile defense systems have become. The Russians are apparently trying to perfect a different type of missile guidance/ flight path in an attempt to elude the US defenses. It is costing them dearly to do so.
That they are having difficulty should be very encouraging to everybody who is trying to evaluate the effectiveness of the US national missile defense. Clearly, other less capable nations will have even greater difficulty developing systems that are able to elude our defenses.
This shows we're really making progress, and that forcing other nations to react to our defensive initiatives will cost them dearly, and that any such reactions are highly likely to prove ineffective.
When we have systems like airborne laser and so on, I don't think there is much they can really do. The laser can track targets attempting to evade.
I'd really like to see a large fleet of ABL's up and running.
I'm actually wearing an Accutron today, and that's the funniest post I've seen all day.
Except to put a good reflective coating on their reentry vehicles.
Looks like they don't have the money to spy on us and steal our technology like they used to, either.
Not all, some are in California.

Prompt 4 - Favorite Season
Do you have one?
A Happy Memory or association
Close your eyes and imagine your favourite season – write down what you see, feel, hear.
Image courtesy of Microsoft Office Images
What Autumn means to me now?
The crunch of leaves under my feet.
Picking apples.
Apple, Sweet Potato and Pumpkin pie.
Baking...lots of baking.
Family gatherings.
Kids back to school.
My birthday...in October. Hooray!
My daughter's birthday. Love that baby girl.
Clean crisp fresh air.
Watching the geese gather to fly south.
A comfy throw on the couch.
Thanksgiving and pigging out on way too much food! (Who says that's a bad thing.)
A time for introspection.
As a child, Autumn meant...
A new parochial school uniform.
New school year, new adventures.
After school at Mom Mom and Granddaddy Murrell's house.
The smell of grandma's fresh baked rolls or a cake.
A time when paper and crayons were my eternal friends.
Making pictures and cards for the anyone and everyone.
Couldn't get enough of my Peanuts coloring books.
My birthday --my favorite day of the year. When we lived in Cambria Heights, NY, my mother and father would host a party at the house. I only realize now how truly special those times were. Most of my family lived within a 15 minute drive from our house so the turn out was wonderful. My aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents would come. The house wasn't that big but there was just enough room for folks to squeeze in and sit for a bit, have a bite to eat and of course the best part...sing me happy birthday! The cake would have white frosting, pink flowers, and pineapple filling.
Thanksgiving at my dad's parents house. No one's Thanksgiving dinner will ever compare to my grandma's. No one's. Period. Thank you Mom Mom :)
Oh yeah and then there was Halloween. I would get a huge stash of candy on Halloween, especially when I lived in Cambria Heights. There were 34 houses on my block and my brother and I would hit up all of them, sometimes twice. I remember one year we got candy cigarettes and you would have thought we had won the lottery or something.

|IACC Strategic Plan Objective
|Support two studies and a workshop that facilitate the development of vertebrate and invertebrate model systems for the exploration of environmental risks and their interaction with gender and genetic susceptibilities for ASD by 2012.
IACC Recommended Budget: $1,535,000 over 3 years
5 projects
3 projects
3 projects
|3.S.K. Funding: The recommended budget was partially met. However, the yearly funding decreased significantly from 2010-2012. It should be noted that this objective overlaps partially with 2.S.B., which is focused on research on sex differences in ASD, and 4.S.B., which focuses on development of animal models that can be used for understanding molecular and neural pathways that can be targeted by interventions. Genetic pathways that play a role in gender differences and other molecular and neural pathways may interact with environmental factors, so funding for these objectives could reflect progress on the goals of 3.S.K.
Progress: Projects by Tychele Turner at Johns Hopkins and Donna Werling at UCLA that are using animal models to investigate sex differences in autism are coded to 2.S.B. The following 2010 workshop sponsored by NIEHS, Autism and the Environment: Advancing the Science, touched on this topic, but it was not the main focus of the workshop.
Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: The development of animal models for more broad ASD research is coded to question 4, and the use of such models to answer environmental exposure questions is a next step for this objective.

Luxe Leopard Loafer
"This brand and these shoes are AMAZING! I've been thinking about these flats and finally decided to splurge. I'm so glad I did! I'm going to get the solid black version too. They look and feel like expensive, hand-crafted European shoes of the highest quality. I am in love with this brand. I have somewhat narrow thin feet, a solid size 6. I ordered a 6 and received euro size 36 which fit me perfectly."

"These look nice and feel a little furry (but are don't look it) so overall the appearance is good. I was worried when I bought these that they would run small based off of other reviews. I own a few other pairs of Mercantis (boots, flats, etc) and have always gotten size 6, they fit well if not a tiny bit big. I'm usually size 6 in multiple other shoe brands. I got these in 6 and seem to be a little bit big length wise, width was okay, so I stuck to my usual size 6."

The Lowland Jig
Blanche of Middlebie III
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 21 January 2012 18:29
Robert Riddells' setting of this tune looks so much like a pipe setting, and sits so well on the pipes, it is easy to forget that his collection is described as for violin, hautboy or german flute. This is important because it contains indications of ornaments which we have to assume are references to fiddle technique, not to piping. These ornaments come in the form of 'tr' [trill] added to the crotchets [and to the first quaver of bar 3] in the first strain. George Greig pointed out to me that the use of the 'tr' sign is not unusual in early highland pipe collections [Mackay and Maclachaln both use it and MacLachlan writes out its interpretation]
That, is, MacLachlan's trills are a shorthand for what are in the main, doublings, as far as one can tell. However, I am not convinced that this is how a fiddler would interpret them, or at least, not all of them. This depends chiefly on just how we intend to perform the piece.All the evidence suggests that the tune was, in its earliest manifestations, a dance tune. But what kind of dance might it have been that Blanche of Middlebie did? Riddell describes it as 'a jig or Cumberland' but this is no real help, since he has previously ascribed the 'Jig' or 'Cumberland' to the tune 'Simon Brodie' [of which more later, hopefully].
I mentioned in my previous post that Riddell's tune has much in common with the well-known highland tune 'The Old Maid of the Mill-Dust'; there is a valuable [though the transcription features typing of more or less the sakme standard as mine] HERE. This is a mysterious 'pantomime' dance for a man and a woman; Riddell's dance appears to be a solo. Carmichael stresses the movements [which, despite his vogiorous description, seem to involve no more thatn in and out, cross-over and round]. The solo dance, however, one might imagine was more about stepping than movement [if Riddell's story dates the tune to the reign of Charles II then we can e fairly sure that it did not involve the elaborate movement patterns that eveolved during the Baroque period]. Matt pointed us to the performance by Ben Power's sean nos group dancing the Irish step dance 'The Priest in His Boots'
For want of any better guidance this seems a reasonable place to start. the tempo is around 110 dotted crotchets per minute.
Here is my performance of the first strain as unembellished as I can make it [using covered fingering long sustained phrases without the low A are quite a challenge].
and now here is my attempt to play only the embellishments Riddell notates, interpreting the trills according to MacLachlan as 'doublings'.
It seems to me that this is not a piper's performance. It is almost impossible to resist introducing further embellishments at certain points, though where thse points are may differ depending on your approach.
Here is my interpretation of those trills- I am employing a more relaxed approach to the dird and introducing the trills 'at the end of ' the notes, a kind of slide into the following note. I'm not convinced that this is how I want to play this piece, but it is an indication of alternative approaches. One of the things that is bothering me is that 'low A' in bar 2, not ii: I keep finding myself playing a D, as in bar 6, - it seems to lead in to the followin ECA more happily. This may be the result of playing it on the smallpipe where the low A tends to dissolve into the drone, resulting in an interruption in the phrase and leaving the ECA hanging, trying unsuccessfully to belong to the following phrase.
An alternative is to include some kind of doubling of these low A's. The 'dotted' rhythm that this introduices naturally extends itself into the quavers in bar 6 iv, v & vi or bar 7 i, ii & iii.

Plano Pro Latch Utility Box 3750
Keeping in step with the popular 3700 series tackle box, the Plano Pro Latch 3750 Utility Box offers ample storage space and a multitude of compartment combinations. The Pro Latch 3750 Utility Box features a slightly different storage configuration than the 3700, which provides ample bulk storage for soft plastics and terminal tackle and also allows anglers to store their larger hardbaits as well. Plano's ProLatch system molds the latches separately from the tackle boxes, eliminating breakage that occurs with other one-piece stowaways.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Very versatile box! I use it for my jigs and trailers but I'm going to order 4 or 5 more for multiple set ups including one for my multiple types of frogs and hooks. Holds hooks, jigs, worms/trailers perfectly. Plano hit the nail on the head, and you can't beat $5.99 and no tax!
