The DKNY Jeans spring 2011 campaign features the fierce American model Heidi Mount in a spread that exudes New York City-cool. The spectrum of blue and gray attire is a perfect match to the concrete Gotham landscape, but the clothes come to life in the hustle and bustle of curiously attractive passers-by clad in head-to-toe in our favorite fibers. Skinny jeans cuffed at the bottom seam to be the recurring trend this season, with hip-length denim jackets and white wash jeans of all treatments. We'll wait and see if these city-staged styling tips start showing up on the streets of Manhattan once the warm weather hits.

From WWD ISSUE 08/27/2009
After a period of immaculately clean superskinny fits dominating the jeanswear market, the big news for spring is the straight-leg distressed look ??" coupled with extreme ripped denim, soft whiskering and splattered paint-aged effects. Here, five denim trends gaining momentum for the upcoming season.
From WWD ISSUE 08/27/2009
LOS ANGELES ??" Premium denim brand Citizens of Humanity is giving a twist to T-shirts through a collaboration with artist Will Lemon.
The Huntington Park, Calif.-based company is sprucing up tanks, short-sleeve Ts, tunics and three other women??™s spring styles with Lemon??™s technique of blending screen-printing with hand-painting. A tank top pops in a blue snakeskin print mottled with what resembles neon oil spills, a gray scoop-neck T-shirt is enlivened with a bold splash of azure and ruby raindrops fall all over a yellow tank dress. All will retail for approximately $135.
???I envisioned an outdoor scene and I first saw a snake sunbathing in a field of tall, verdant grass,??? said Lemon, whose previous fashion collaborations were with Marc Jacobs and MAC. ???I also imagined a small stream with a slight waterfall nearby and these first three images that were there in my mind became the metaphors for the prints that eventually ended up on the T-shirts.???
Cut from a soft, light cotton knit, the pieces are also washed and dyed by hand at Citizens of Humanity??™s laundry.
???The collaboration with Will is a highlight of the special things that we can do,??? said Adriano Goldschmied, executive vice president of design at Citizens of Humanity, which also owns his denim brand GoldSign. ???We own already a lot of technology and know-how that we can apply to our T-shirt. We own our own dye house and laundry. Our goal is to make something different.???
Choosing to collaborate with Lemon helps Citizens of Humanity differentiate itself from competitors in a challenging economy as it seeks to expand its jeans business with complementary categories such as T-shirts. Goldschmied said the company is also considering applying Lemon??™s screen-painting technique to jeans and men??™s T-shirts.

Jean skirts are back in fashion this season. Update a typically bohemian or western look with a boyfriend jacket and ankle boots a la Nicky Hilton for a fresh, casual and edgy look.
Tools needed: Scissors, tape measure, utility knife, sewing machine
Step 1: Cut jeans to desired skirt length
Step 2: Rip open the inseam (inside the legs) with a seam ripper or utility knife
Step 3: Use excess fabric (from the legs that were cut off) to make a patch insert.
Step 4: Sew patch onto inseams in front and back, then trim the hem so it's even. Wash, dry and wear!
Tip: Jean skirts are great for showing off legs, so keep the length well above the knees. Skirts that are too long can look bulky and dowdy.
Abercrombie & Fitch Elizabeth Light Destroy Denim Skirt, $60 (as seen on Nicky Hilton)
DKNY Denim Skirt, $59
Mango Denim Skirt RVM Rotos $28.99

From WWD ISSUE 02/05/2009
As DKNY Jeans' latest celebrity design collaborator, Hilary Duff is determined to prove her days starring as Lizzie Maguire are long gone.
The 21-year-old actress-singer-designer showed up early for her 11 a.m. meeting at the DKNY Jeans showroom at 240 West 40th St. to discuss her new brand, which she's calling Femme for DKNY Jeans. She'd just flown in from Los Angeles, and there were no publicists, managers or entourage in tow. She was staying at her friend's Manhattan apartment, wheeling two suitcases behind her.
"One of the hardest things is to come up with a name," said Duff of her new line, which she was wearing: a gray fringe T-shirt, leggings and a vest. "But I think Femme works really well and explains the line perfectly as feminine but tough all at the same time. It's aggressive, but in a good way."
This isn't the first time Duff had to come up with a name for her own fashion collection. Five years ago, as a teenager, she launched Stuff by Hilary Duff, which used to produce everything from T-shirts to bedsheets. That line is now being phased out and, with the exception of eyewear, there is no longer product on the market.
"I've lost interest in it, and I'm ready to move on and do other things," she explained of the line, which sold at retailers such as Target, J.C. Penney and Kohl's. "I feel like the brand was for younger girls, and I want to do things for girls my own age now."
The partnership with the Liz Claiborne Inc.-owned DKNY Jeans is a big move for Duff – one she plans to be involved in every step of the way. And while she isn't the first celebrity to partner with the company – Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz was first and actress Rachel Bilson was second – she's nonetheless dedicated to it.
"I've been learning so much about how the process happens from how much certain things cost to shipping schedules – it has been an amazing learning experience," she said.
The Femme for DKNY Jeans line will launch in stores this fall. And while Wentz's and Bilson's collections only sold at retail for one season, the company has signed Duff for two – fall and holiday – with the option to extend the agreement depending on performance.
"From the feedback we've gathered from our customers, they wished these collaborations were available to them for a longer period of time," said Kevin Monogue, president of DKNY Jeans. "They wanted to see more, which is what led us to working with Hilary and making her partnership last longer."

DKNY has always had ad campaigns centered around the Big Apple. So this spring, DKNY jeans will be partnering with the street style photographer extraordinaire, Scott Schuman, aka The Sartorialist. They will be collaborating in creating the new spring/summer 2009 ad campaigns.
The line-up for faces to grace the ad campaigns are to be Chanel Iman ( I love this young model), Daisy Lowe (now global 'it' girl and love child of Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale), Luc Worrell (a popular English model and boyfriend to Kelly Osbourne) and Sean Lennon (we all know who he is).
Go to www.dkny.com for a look at their line of jeans. For an all around great fitting jean try the Soho Jean Short 30. This stretch denim is in a dark rinse with a traditional 5 pocket style and contrast top stitching throughout. They are comfortable with a slight low rise and boot cut leg that flatters most figures across the board. At only $48, they are so worth it!

FGD: Flying Out of 2013
Ryan Pike
December 31 2013 02:59PM
Pic via Camera Slayer
The Calgary Flames are sending 2013 out tonight, hopefully in style, against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers are one of many middling Eastern Conference teams that are barely above the .500 mark but still have playoff hopes. To be honest, the Flyers likely aren't that much better than the Flames, but they benefit from playing the Eastern teams more.
In terms of line-ups, Ray Emery will start for the Flyers and Reto Berra goes for Calgary. If Kevin Westgarth arrives in time, he'll slot in for the home side, so presumably your extra bodies for the Flames are Chris Breen, Markus Granlund and, possibly, TJ Galiardi.
The puck drops at 7pm MT and the game will be carried on various Sportsnet properties.
Have a safe, happy and healthy New Year's everyone!
December 31 2013, 05:17PM
Flames sign Poirier to a 3 year entry level deal today.
Looking forward to the game, as usual.
Flames need to put a few in the net just for sake of morale. Hopefully tonight.
Blessing to all, and hope your new year is happy and prosperous.
I think you're selling the Flyers a bit short, they had an abysmal start to the season (3 wins in October) but have been playing at a much better rate lately. Not saying they're a world beater but 17 wins in the last 25 is a bit above .500
December 31 2013, 03:32PM
"Aren't that much better" - I'd trade Philly's first line for ours (and throw in a face puncher) in a heartbeat!
Well if you're tossing in a face puncher you might as well ask for Simmonds back.
Hell their third line of Read, Couturier, and Lecavalier for the dancing bear straight up!
December 31 2013, 04:55PM
Damn it Ryan, I have places to be I can't afford to read this massive, never ending FGD!
And with that, have a Happy New Year everybody!
December 31 2013, 06:34PM
It's pretty obvious, here's what's happening:
Burke had a meeting with Ownership. He tells them "guys, this Connor McDavid kid is the key to making the Flames a Cup Champion again". He then proceeds to lay out a plan whereby he fires Feaster, takes over as interim GM and makes our roster as terrible as possible. Trading Cammy, Stajan, Stemps, even McGrattan (anyone with any possible trade value) in exchange for prospects and picks in the 2015 draft (as it is much deeper than the 2014 draft).
The only problem: The NHL won't permit a team to tank obviously, no throwing games. It would be dumb to just call up kids and throw them all to the wolves as you waste valuable development time down in the AHL. Instead, Burke outlines a brilliant scheme whereby he will insist upon his old Toronto model of SIZE + GRITCHART + FACEPUNCHER = SUCCESS, a model he has since learned will not build a contender. This strategy of filling the Flames roster with dancing bears will allow us to tank for a bunch of awesome top 3 draft picks over the coming years, while simultaneously protecting the kids down in Abby from "losing culture", staying under the NHL's "no intentional losing allowed" radar, and providing entertaining, albeit losing, physical facepunching hockey for the fans.
At least I sincerely hope so.
what a gentleman

Same to you, buddy!
Odd move but does it really make a difference? The Flames are going to miss the playoffs and get another lottery pick. We all knew this before the season began.
December 31 2013, 07:12PM
Going to be a long go for the Flames. They need so much and beyond a few pieces including Gio and Monahan they don't have much. I'm not a fan of Glencross and I'm indifferent on Cammy and Hudler and the goaltending situation is very suspect so household changes are needed. This is not an easy task but time will tell.
On a more positive note, great win by Team Canada and Coach Sutter today. Still lots of tournament left but good victory to silence the comments of many, including WW. Happy New Year folks.
December 31 2013, 07:49PM
7 scoreless periods and counting.....
That's one of the longest 6 on 5's I think I can remember.
Big Ern, beastly tonight,
December 31 2013, 09:38PM
Uninspired ho-hum crapola for the third straight game. Is this the 2014 "hockey" approach under new management? At least at the start of the season there were a few goals. Paint drying, glaciers melting, ugh. Dull and painful like Burke putting on a tie the morning after a whiskey tear. Yikes.
Screwed my math up a bit there think it's actually 15 wins in 24 games, but point being is they're competitive.
Happy New Year all!
So obvious.
Took me until now, or maybe it's the intoxicants, but I think I finally figured out who I should be comparing Monahan to in his prime.
I'm going with Patty Marleau.
Monahan has ice in his veins.
Glad the Flames broke the scoring drought after two games.
December 31 2013, 10:00PM
Then Poirier has a bad agent. Unless they gave him an extra sweet signing bonus.
Contract terms: Three-year entry level contract with an NHL base salary of $832,500 with a signing bonus of $92,500 each year and an AHL salary of $70,000 per year. The contract has an Average Annual Value of $925,000

Accrington Stanley 1 Southend United 1
Attendance: 1,589
Southend's equaliser came after they were reduced to ten men by the dismissal of Ryan Cresswell, but still did not surprise Kevan Hurst, their scorer, who had predicted that he would be on target. "Sometimes I just know when I'm going to score a goal," he said. "I thought I would get one on Tuesday, so, when I didn't, I knew one would come here." Accrington were leading through James Gray's goal when Cresswell was shown a red card and looked set for a rare win before Hurst struck.

The Highland Mint makes the coin that will be used for the coin toss at Sunday's Super Bowl. Tim Shortt, Florida Today
Fla. company makes coin that allows teams to decide which one will receive opening kickoff.
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Michael Kott doesn't really have a favorite in Sunday's Super Bowl.
But if the president and chief executive of The Highland Mint had the chance to pick his dream matchup it would be something along the lines of the Denver Broncos and the Green Bay Packers.
"Green Bay has a very loyal fan base," said Kott, whose company for the past 22 years has made the coin used in the Super Bowl's opening coin flip.
AD METER: Help pick winning Super Bowl ad
MORE: Super Bowl coverage from every angle
"And Peyton Manning and the Broncos were such a Cinderella story," Kott said. "With Peyton coming back from an injury and leading the Broncos, it would have been a great storyline."
Regardless of Kott's dream Super Bowl teams, ultimately he's just glad his Melbourne, Fla.,-based company gets to be part of it. He even gets a couple of tickets to one of the world's most popular sporting events, which this year is in New Orleans.
The Highland Mint commemorative, 1.5-inch diameter coin, not only will be used in the coin flip but also goes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of its Super Bowl XLVII display. The remaining 99 coins of the first 100 coins pressed are given to players and NFL dignitaries. The rest — about 9,900 — are sold to the public for $99.95.
The coins, made of silver with gold highlights, usually sell out, but with more popular teams with bigger fan bases, Kott sometimes also can sell special framed packages that might include a Super Bowl program, a piece of the turf, or a section of one of the game footballs.
Since opening its doors nearly a quarter-century ago, the privately held Highland Mint has been building up a sports commemorative company that makes coins and other products for all major sporting events and theme parks like Disney and Universal.
Its staff of about 120 people — sales, marketing and manufacturing employees — have shown they can maneuver their way successfully in the competitive, multi-billion dollar sports memorabilia and collectibles market.
Of late, that market has been soft, said Ted Taylor, adjunct professor of business communications at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia. He also ran STAT Authentic, an authentication and appraisal company.
Taylor has high praise for The Highland Mint products but said it's a tough market out there for sports collectibles.
"The sports memorabilia business is down right now, probably because of the economy," Taylor said.
"I think it's going to come back. I mean, these things are not getting any newer. But my advice to people is that if they don't have to sell a particular item, then don't sell it."

The Uneasy Case for Intellectual Property Rights in Traditional Knowledge
Stephen R. Munzer
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
Kal Raustiala
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
April 30, 2009
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal, Vol. 27, pp. 37-97, 2009
UCLA School of Law Research Paper No. 09-16
Should traditional knowledge - the understanding or skill possessed by indigenous peoples pertaining to their culture and folklore and their use of native plants for medicinal purposes - receive protection as intellectual property? This Article examines nine major arguments from the moral, political and legal philosophy of property for intellectual property rights and contends that, as applied to traditional knowledge (TK), they justify at most a modest package of rights under domestic and international law. The arguments involve desert based on labor; firstness; stewardship; stability; moral right of the community; incentives to innovate; incentives to commercialize; unjust enrichment, misappropriation and restitution; and infringement and dilution. These arguments do, however, support "defensive" protection for TK: that is, halting the use of TK by nonindigenous actors in obtaining patents and copyrights. These arguments also support the dissemination of TK on the internet and via other digital media and the selective use of trademarks. The force of these conclusions resides in the importance of a vibrant public domain, and the absence of any plausible limiting principle that would allow more robust rights in TK for indigenous groups without permitting equally robust rights for nonindigenous groups.

Whelan won't face FA action
Stoke's Glenn Whelan will not face retrospective action from the Football Association over his two-footed challenge on Manchester City's Javi García.
- Related Content
Referee Howard Webb took no action at the time and the FA has said the laws of the game rule it can only take action retrospectively for incidents not seen by match officials.
The Stoke midfielder has defended his challenge.
He told reporters: "I've gone in for the challenge and I don't think I tried to be dirty but if it looks that way on TV then I'll have to hold my hands up. I don't think I caught him as much as he was rolling about."
"It's the English game, the old-fashioned game, and that's what the Premier League is so good for.
"There is massive pressure on the referees from the media and the people they're accountable to. Hopefully it [tackling] can stay in the game and people just get on with it."

CHLOÉ+ more
Chloé was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisienne with a bohemian spirit. Rejecting the stiff formality of 1950s fashion, Aghion created soft, body-conscious clothes from fine fabrics and christened the collections "luxury prêt-à-porter."
In the 1960s, Chloé nurtured a group of youthful Left Bank designers who went on to define the Parisian ready-to wear movement, le style. In 1966, Karl Lagerfeld was appointed the house's head designer, and under his direction Chloé rose to become one of the most acclaimed brands of the 1970s, beloved by Jackie Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly.
In 1997 Stella McCartney reinvented the label once again with a romantic yet streetwise mix of vintage lingerie, tailoring and signature low-rider trousers. In 2001, Phoebe Philo continued the Chloé legacy while stamping the house with her own unique signature: sexy daywear, fluid lines, graceful and distinctly modern diaphanous tops. Clare Waight Keller was named Creative Director in 2011. "I love the free-spirited, effortless attitude, the kind of girl Chloé is," says Waight Keller. The brand is renowned for sophisticated romanticism and soft elegance, as well as a contemporary, wearable appeal. - less

Gameday Preview - Bright sides
Kent Wilson
January 15 2011 10:53AM
As much as the Senators are hailed as a mirror image of the Flames currently, the Leafs may be a vision of things to come. Decimated by years of shoddy JFJ management, the NHL's most profitable franchise is still trying to pick up the pieces. Brian Burke was airlifted in fresh off his success in Anaheim, but the rebuilding under him has been rather disjointed. The club sold off a bunch of assets the last couple of seasons, but haven't shied away from spending money (because, let's be fair, they have a lot of it to spend) and making apparently short-term bids to improve, with the Phil Kessel trade being exhibit #1.
The muddled strategy hasn't worked out that well, current winning streak notwithstanding. The Leafs are sit 13th in the East with 40 points, have a -17 goal differential and are well on their way to handing the Boston Bruins yet another top-10 draft pick this coming june.
That said, it's not all bad news for Leafs fans. There have been a few revelations emerge from the wreckage that may pace the woeful club back to competitiveness sometime in the near future.
Mikhail Grabovski - A player who was mostly disregarded as yet another failed Leafs project, Grabovski has arguably been the team's best forward this season. His possession rates are top notch (+14.39/60), despite a just okay zone start (51.7%). He leads the team in goals (17) is second in points (34) and first in plus/minus (+6). His shot has increased to almost three per game this year as well.
Not coincidentally, Grabovski's regular line mates Nikolai Kulemin and Clarke MacArthur have been a long for the ride a bit, although they are also likely contributors to Grabovski's dominance. The trio usually face other team's middle rotation and have been making short work of them so far. Speaking of which...
Clarke MacArthur - Dropped by ATL after a arbitrator awarded him $2M and change, it wouldn't surprise me if the 25-year old sends weekly emails to Thrashers management with nothing more than his stats line and a picture of him flipping them the bird. He leads the team in scoring and is mamber of the dominant Grabovski line, as mentioned.
MacArthur's FU to ATL has also be aided by some luck this year as well. His SH% is a career high 17.9% (ignoring the 19 games he played in 2006-07). Still, he's a steal at $1.1M.
James Reimer - We're getting way ahead of ourselves here, sure, but the early returns on the 22-year old Reimer are pretty good. An ECHL 'tender until this season, Reimer sported a .926 SV% in s26 games for the Marlies before being called up and winning 4 of 5 for the parent club.
For a team that has been wandering the wilderness for a long time in no small part due to terrible netminding, Reimer's recent performance must seem like food to the starving for Leafs Nation. He hasn't seen enough work for anyone to be certain of his real skill level, but the arrows are pointing in the right direction.
Ill be very interested in how Reimer progresses in his career. Hopefully for Leafs fans hes not another Justin Pogge.

The first sentence of this article cut me...cut me real deep. Most frightening is that it's true.

Black History Month
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, February marks Black History Month in my riding of St. Catharines.
At the Parkway hotel, I had the opportunity to recognize the achievements of Fergie Jenkins and celebrate the launch of the official Fergie Jenkins stamp.
As we mark Black History Month and the launch of the Fergie Jenkins and Carrie Best commemorative stamps, I was not three kilometres from the Salem Chapel on Geneva Street, a stop on the Underground Railroad, where the legendary and courageous Harriet Tubman led American slaves to freedom here in Canada.
In honouring Fergie Jenkins and journalist Carrie Best, Canada Post is recognizing the valuable contributions they have made to our country. Whether we celebrate a black Canadian athlete in the Hall of Fame or a journalist who stood up on behalf of the black community and said what was right and what we needed to do, those are two people who made a difference in the lives of others and in our country.
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, in Atlantic Canada, the economy is made up of a large number of seasonal industries and in the off season workers rely on employment insurance benefits until the next season. Workers who have been laid off are having difficulty getting employment insurance claims processed in a timely manner.
In my area, the claims processing centre is reducing a number of CR-3 individuals. My constituency office gets daily calls from individuals in the riding who have to wait long periods of time to receive their benefits while their bills are piling up. This is unfair to the people who are out of work and unfair to the remaining staff who are left to deal with the growing demand of service. Cutting services on the backs of individuals is certainly not what the rural areas of this country deserve.
I ask the government to stop cutting services to rural Canadians and reinstate the much-needed CR-3 positions.
Honorius Thériault
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to the commitment of an extraordinary volunteer: Honorius Thériault, from the famous little town of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton. Mr. Thériault, who will turn 80 on March 8, is and has been involved in fundraising for many charitable causes, including the Red Cross, childhood diseases, multiple sclerosis, the Canadian Cancer Society, Opération Enfant Soleil, Operation Red Nose and Noël du pauvre. This big-hearted man has put all of his energy into generously and willingly helping his neighbours.
This tireless volunteer was also the founder of the Saint-Élie-de-Caxton optimist club, the first rural optimist club in the movement. Mr. Thériault is also dedicated to the sovereignist cause. He has been involved in the Quebec nation's quest for freedom since the founding of the RIN.
Mr. Thériault, you are a role model and an exceptional man, which is rare these days, and I admire that. You should be proud.
Search and Rescue
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jack Harris St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, search and rescue is an important role for our military. It is important in the Arctic, on the west coast, the Great Lakes, in the Maritimes, off the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador and on the great land mass of Canada. SAR service responds to over 6,000 incidents a year, saving thousands of lives, but why do we lag behind the rest of the world on response times?
In Norway, its air force gets rescue choppers in the air in 15 minutes around the clock. In Australia and in the United States, the response time is 30 minutes around the clock, seven days a week. Canada has a response standard of 30 minutes but only from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays when less than 20% of incidents occur. Otherwise, it is two hours. Lives are lost.
The defence committee heard from a survivor of a sunken fishing vessel who watched two others drown 15 minutes before a Canadian Forces helicopter arrived, which had left one hour and twenty minutes after being tasked. This must change. We can do better. We deserve better.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, for some time, Canadians have wondered about the Liberal secret agenda on fighting crime. This week, the its real agenda was revealed.
The Liberal leader shocked Canadians by announcing that his MPs would not support our bill to impose tough new prison terms on serious drug traffickers and gangsters. He followed that up by obstructing our efforts to abolish a law that had allowed serious white-collar criminals to apply for day parole after serving only one-sixth of their sentences.
Earlier, the Liberal justice critic promised that a future Liberal government would overturn our decision to eliminate the faint hope clause under which murderers had been able to apply for parole after only 15 years in prison.
Time and time again the Liberal leader has promised to protect Canadians against crime, only to flip-flop and abandon victims and law-abiding citizens.
Now that the Liberal agenda on crime is out, we know that the Liberal leader is not in it for Canadians. He is just in it for himself.
We Welcome the World Centres
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Ruby Dhalla Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, thousands of residents in my riding of Brampton—Springdale will be left to suffer due to the decision by the Conservative government to cut $53 million in essential funding for programs and services to help new immigrants, this despite the fact that Brampton is home to some of the largest numbers of immigrants in Canada. The Conservative government has cut $53 million in funding for language, counselling, training and mentorship programs to integrate new Canadians.
One organization in particular that has been impacted is the We Welcome the World Centres which operates in schools in conjunction with the Peel District School Board. This centre has helped over 4,400 families in its first 18 months of opening. Despite it helping new Canadians, it has lost almost half of its operating budget.
On behalf of all Bramptonians and my constituents in Brampton—Springdale, we urge the Conservative government to reverse these cuts because Brampton families want to have families as a priority, not prisons, planes and photo ops.

Royal Galipeau Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to rise today on behalf of the people of Ottawa—Orléans, people who are paying $3,000 less tax in 2011 thanks to the work of this government over the past five years.
We cut the GST twice from 7% to 6% to 5%. We introduced pension income splitting. We established the tax free savings account and the first-time homebuyer's tax credit. The average tax burden is now lighter by $3,000.
This government has consistently stood on the side of the people of Ottawa–Orléans and all Canadians. We remain committed to helping them keep more of their hard-earned money.
Recently I hosted seven tax seminars led by specialists from the Canada Revenue Agency. Hundreds of people came to find out how they could get all that they have earned when filling out their tax return.
I thank the CRA staff for its dedication and professionalism.
Medal of Bravery
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, on February 8, at the Citadel in Quebec City, two people from my riding, Daisy Flamand of Manawan and Marjorie Jean-Baptiste of Saint-Charles-Borromée, received the Medal of Bravery, which is awarded every year by the Governor General to individuals who have risked their lives to save or protect another person.
Daisy Flamand did not hesitate to rush into a burning house to save her grandmother, niece and baby, even though thick smoke made it difficult to breathe. The police had to restrain her from re-entering the burning house to help two other family members, who unfortunately did not survive.
Marjorie Jean-Baptiste risked her life to save seven children from the fire that engulfed their house in Rivière-des-Prairies. Despite thick black smoke that was building up, Marjorie kept calm and gathered her children in her bedroom, then broke the window and dropped them one at a time into the snow.
I congratulate the two recipients on their courage and determination.
The Economy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jeff Watson Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, while our Conservative government delivered jobs and economic recovery for Windsor, the NDP MPs for Windsor West and Windsor—Tecumseh vote against jobs and prosperity.
When our government helped save 500,000 auto jobs and Windsor's largest employer, Chrysler, the NDP MPs voted against it.
When our government invested the highest per capita infrastructure stimulus to create jobs and reposition Windsor's economy during the recession, the two NDP MPs voted against it.
When our government invested millions to start a new aerospace MRO industry and up to 700 jobs, the two NDP MPs voted against it.
When we budgeted for the new DRIC bridge and the Windsor-Essex Parkway in 2006 and 2007, and the 30,000 jobs that go with it, those NDP MPs voted no.
The NDP MPs for Windsor West and Windsor—Tecumseh have voted against thousands of jobs and economic recovery for Windsor.
It is time Windsorites vote Conservative not NDP.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is a basic principle of Canadian democracy and a foundational principle of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms that citizens have a right to petition government for redress of grievance, that they are allowed to criticize their government without fear of reprisal and that the independence and integrity of the courts warrant respect from us all.
Yet, these past few days we have witnessed a minister impugning the decision-making of the federal judiciary, and the member for Oak Ridges—Markham attacking a University of Ottawa law professor, Amir Attaran, for exercising his rights under law, for making representations to the court and for using the democratic process.
This conduct of targeting a person who has otherwise critiqued government policy, who exercises his free speech rights and due process rights, can have a chilling effect on free speech, let alone the undue interference in matters before the courts.
This is not the way a democracy should work. This is not the way to respect the independence of the judiciary and to respect the integrity of processes before the courts.
Arthur Meighen
Statements By Members
February 16th, 2011 / 2:10 p.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I am honoured to pay tribute to Canada's ninth prime minister, the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen.
Born after Confederation in the village of Anderson, near St. Marys, Ontario, Arthur Meighen would go on to serve our country on two separate occasions as prime minister.
During his political career, Meighen served as solicitor general, minister of the interior and secretary of state of Canada. While he spent 10 years in the Senate, it was in this very chamber that Mr. Meighen, representing a riding in Manitoba, distinguished himself as the greatest orator of his generation.
Today, 51 years after his death, Prime Minister Meighen's portrait will be officially unveiled.
Perth—Wellington is proud to have Arthur Meighen as its son. I know all hon. members will join me in paying tribute to this great Canadian.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, on this Monday, Valentine's Day, men and women took to the streets of Edmonton for the sixth annual Memorial March for all the Missing and Murdered Women. The march was led by aboriginal drummers. Families carried pictures of the loved ones they had lost.
Danielle Boudreau organized the Edmonton march following the murder of two friends, Rachel Quinney and Ellie May Meyer, whose bodies were found on the outskirts of our city.
Project KARE, a joint task force of the RCMP and Edmonton Police Service, continues to investigate more than 20 cases of Edmonton women killed or missing since 1983. As in other Canadian cities, a disproportionate number of the missing and murdered women are from our aboriginal community.
As National Chief Shawn Atleo has said, "It is time to raise a national action plan that will address the seriousness and scope of violence and discrimination facing indigenous women in a coordinated, effective fashion".
If we make communities safe for our most vulnerable, they are made safe for all of us.
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party leader's plan is clear: he wants to raise taxes. He has clearly and concisely said that he wants to increase taxes by $6 billion. He is not talking about freezing taxes, but increasing them.
The Liberal Party leader wants higher taxes to be included in the next budget. If we do not increase taxes, he will vote against the budget and force an election. This is an irresponsible demand that will slow down the economic recovery, which is currently on the right track, and it will also hurt job creation in all regions of Quebec. No one is surprised that he calls himself a tax and spend Liberal.
Border Crossings
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Claude DeBellefeuille Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec municipal officials and local stakeholders are here on the Hill today. They are joining with the Bloc Québécois to denounce the Conservative government's announcement that services will be reduced at certain border crossings and customs offices, and they are calling on the government to reverse its decision.
I met with the president of the Canada Border Services Agency about this on February 8. He seemed very interested in our proposed solutions, but his hands are tied.
Bill Owens, a congressman for the state of New York, supports our position and is proposing effective solutions such as sharing infrastructure at the Churubusco crossing. That proposal is being backed by Canada's Customs and Immigration Union.
There is no reason for the Conservative government not to listen to us and consider our proposed solutions, particularly since it is secretly negotiating a common security perimeter with the United States. Our solutions are reasonable and are widely supported.

I live in Portland, Or. As you know, our city water dept. has had a major snafu in its new computer system and I have not had a bill for over a year. I've just been informed that my bill is $4,800 - they're sending an inspector to check for leaks. (Do ya think?) Anyway, I checked under the house, didn't see anything; but then opened the lid on the concrete cylinder outside that contains my main shut-off valve. There was about 6 inches of active, swirling water. I think this is bad. Before I call a plumber, can you offer some insight so I don't look completely stupid. And how could this leak cause a $400 a month water bill? Your help is appreciated.

Protecting Themselves: A Closer Look At Team Specific CBA Clauses
November 08 2012 08:29AM
NHL owners are a fickle bunch. They're savvy investors, skillful prognosticators, overall captains of industry. But what Joey Middle Class and Johnny Blue Collar fail to understand is that these billionaires who preside over the day-to-day actions of the NHL franchises we all know and love and used to watch play hockey is that they too are human. Behind the steely gaze of a Murray Edwards or brash bravado of an Ed Snider is a small, withered, insecure husk of a man who wants everyone to like them and hopes that no one is around to embarrass them when they try to talk to girls.
Part of that insecurity we have to acknowledge as hockey fans is that these owners are prone to mistakes. Proprietorship over a club is like having that whole collection of Ninja Turtle action figures you had as a kid, except on a much larger scale where there are real people involved. Who you control. Safe to say, that power can go to your head. Owners who fall prey to their own egos will test the limits of what is accepted or rational or allowed, just to see if anyone tries to get in their way and stop them (Exhibit A). Naturally, this can get owners in trouble, and unfortunately, they don't see the errors of their ways until it's a little bit too late (Might I once again remind you to take a gander at Exhibit A?!?!)
But, as luck would have it, these executives are empathetic and tend to look out for each other, as if they let one man go down based on his own merit as a billionaire, that's one less person they can play laser missile squash with at their secret rich guy clubs that we're not supposed to know about. As such, they band together, looking for ways to safeguard their power and vast influence from their single greatest nemesis:
Somebody Save Me
This is what the NHL owners are looking to do in this latest CBA quagmire. Protect themselves from being able to do the things they are free to do currently (or previously before the last lock-out) in a very open market: Long term contracts, bonus laden deals, hundreds of million dollars being bandied about as liberally as camera phones at Paulina Gretzky's house on Instagram night. Basically anything that happened in the process of making Exhibit A happen. These are no longer acceptable, and the owners aren't going to stand for this chicanery anymore.
And it's trickling down.
Meaning that, to be included in the new CBA whenver it finally gets inked, individual NHL teams are also going to be subject to new clauses that insulate them from their own poor judgement. Here at the Nation, we have countless anonymous insiders who grant us a lot of access into these negotiations, which is why we were able to obtain some sneak peeks at some of these new clauses NHL teams are going to have to abide by. Check them out, why don't you?
Brass Tax
Anaheim Ducks - No longer allowed to mention the name Bobby Ryan in trade negotiations. Further to that, they literally can no longer trade Bobby Ryan. The Ducks are not yet aware that the disgruntled young sniper has already escaped the clutches of Terry Murray's cronies and is now spending his days quietly lighting it up in a Los Angeles inner city roller hockey league. The money might not be as good and he never finds himself doing quirky video projects with Ryan Getzlaf on NHL Awards night, but he's enjoying life out of the limelight and is much happier now, thank you.
Boston Bruins - Cannot employ any homophobic wingnut goaltenders who decide to have a mid life crisis while still under contract and take a year off, under the guise of spending more time with family and God, while secretly plotting an underground conspirtacy coup with the intention of overthrowing the government and their hippie ideals. This clause is non negotiable except in the case where the absence of said Cocoa Puffs goaltender loses his damn mind, but the team has a capable backup to fill the void and is NOT IN ANY WAY PRONE TO CHRONIC GROIN INJURIES.
It is deemed unlikely that such a scenario would ever exist.
Buffalo Sabres - Ryan Miller's crease is to be expanded by 6 feet in diameter and be equipped with laster trip wires around the perimeter. Any opposing forward who comes within a foot of the fragile goaltender will explode on contact with the tripwire, thus preventing the need for any Sabres defender to try to step in and save their goalie from a concussion, or a "concussion", or whatever the ailment Miller says he will acquire from the collision.
Furthermore, Ville Leino is to be shot and stuffed and erected directly in front of the desk in Darcy Regier's office as a constant reminder that he is prone to being dumb and signing mid level players to superstar money after one overachieving season.
Calgary Flames - The Flames have already activated one obscure provision in the NHL bylaws from 1926 that states that "no one team shall ever be allowed to acquire Olli Jokinen through any means more than thrice", which is clunky and obtuse, but nonetheless protects the Flames from ever going through that mess ever again.
Not that the Flames don't need to be saved. The team has instituted several new rules barring themselves from ineptitude, including the full out prevention of trades that in anyway involve the Toronto Maple Leafs, which is a subset of the new "stop hiring people named Sutter" policy.
Also, to save a bit of time and paperwork, every new Flames contract will automatically come with a NTC.
Carolina Hurricanes - Acquire any man, woman, or pet who has the last name Staal and just throw them out their on the ice, just to see if it works.
Consider changing name to Carolina Hurricane Sandys to see if it improves overall performance when playing against teams in the Atlantic Division.
Chicago Blackhawks - Um, yeah, the Hawks signed Pierre Gauthier to be their new Director of Player Development. The guy who traded FOR Tomas Kaberle last season, and actually traded Mike Cammalleri in the middle of a game. So the first thing to do there is to go back in time and get off whatever drug it was when Stan Bomwan and friends made that call.
Aside from that, the Blackhawks have decided that anytime the team does anything on or off the ice, they have Jonny Toews present. Good things just always seem to happen when the kid's around.
Colorado Avalanche - No longer allowed to sign Peter Forsberg to any contracts, no matter how many times he tries to assure you that his foot is fine and he's ready to make a contract. Because we all know that's coming. However, if Joe Sakic says he's coming back, oh you better believe he's coming back, so get on that.
This should go without saying, but the Avalanche are also strongly encouraged to never consider being the Colorado Rockies, because that didn't work out so well last time.
Columbus Blue Jackets - Scott Howson is to be placed in a rocket and shot into the sun.
Dallas Stars - Keep being in Dallas, Tom Gagliardi, because no one is going to the games and therefore the fact that you spent 4.5 million on a 41 year old Jaromir Jagr and that should work out great for you will go unnoticed.
That 2 million a year for Adam Pardy was also pretty failsafe. Keep up the good work!
Detroit Red Wings - Trying to play God, the Wings are attempting to take a page from the movie Junior and see if there's maybe any kind of way they can make Niklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk mate with each other (what a twist!) and have them spawn a litter of hockey superbabies. Then develop all of them into late round draft picks that go on to help you win 16 more cups in the next 20 years,.
Maybe see if you could make one of two of them learn how to play goal, just to be safe.
Edmonton Oilers - Petition the league relentlessly until they concede and make it mandatory for the Oilers to recieve the number one overall pick every year regardless of performance (in which they are likely to finish anywhere between third and fifth last anyway, so it's not that much of a concession).
The above provision is contingent upon the Oilers never, ever trying to sign a high profile RFA unless it's expressly done to try and make Brian Burke follow through on his "fighting someone in a barn" mandate.
Any star player who approaches management about a trade out of Edmonton is to be smacked on the nose with a newspaper and told to return to their cage.
Florida Panthers - Dale Tallon is allowed to do anything he wants, until he proves he's way out of his damn mind. He can keep acquiring as many players as possible who were members of the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks, as well as sign any player who is a free agent ever.
The Panthers are allowed to send a team representative to break into the office of any General Manager in the league and delete the contact info for Roberto Luongo's agent out of his cell phone.
Los Angeles Kings - Continue to bring in players from other teams (read: Philadelphia) who are considered to be bad teammates who drink too much, party too much, probably killed a guy that one time behind the alley of that Cheese Steak Deli, and are not considered conducive to success. Because, hell, this is Hollywood, the place that dreams are made of. People doing shady things is not only expected, but accepted. It's called the Lindsay Lohan Effect.
Also, maybe getting to get Gretzky to do something one way or the other probably couldn't hurt.
Minnesota Wild - Sure it's too early to tell, but maybe spending 200 million dollars on two players is probably something the Wild would want to avoid in the future. The next CBA should prevent the Wild from excercising that right, but perhaps that be something they just keep in mind. A statue of former Wild superstar Marian Gaborik in his New York Rangers jersey is to be raised outside the Excel Energy Centre as a reminder that throwing money at a problem doesn't always fix it.
It's also been announced that the Wild are forcing Dany Heatley to demand a trade. Again.
Montreal Canadiens - While the rich history of the Canadiens and their synonymy with French Canadian culture will continue to be preserved and recognized, they are expanding on their policy - from now on, all coaches and team captains will be expected to be able to speak French, but also on the off chance they don't, it will be acceptable if they only speak English, German, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Pig Latin, Orkan, Klingon, or French.
Also, Montreal demands they be forbidden from ever bailing out Glen Sather again.
Nashville Predators - When he's not looking, Shea Weber's contract was stolen and editied to include a stipulation that states that he's not ever allowed to leave the Predators ever, including, but not limited to, "the culmination of his current contract, any future contract he will sign, upon his retirement, and that fateful day, decades from now, when the cold, clammy hand of Death outstretches his withered finger and drags Weber kicking and screaming into the foreboding abyss for all eternity".
New Jersey Devils - Expanding on their current affiliation with the Devil, the club is now accepting the sacrifice of souls to the real Prince of Darkness in exchange for the continued success on the ice. Satan's nephew, Devil's GM Lou Lamoriello, confirmed the news of the deal at a press conference where reporters were then given an exclusive photo op with Beelzebub and team legend Marty Brodeur standing back to back in New Jersey sweaters.
One random photographer was then blindsided by Scott Stevens, and the Devil then sucked out any remaining aura attached to the felled journalist, before confirming that the cameraman was worth at least a trip to the Conference Semi-Finals.
New York Rangers - Mysterious mob style attacks on Claude Giroux's legs are to not be traced back to the Rangers in any way, and will truly remain a mystery that cannot be explained. You're best not to go sniffing around trying to get to the bottom of it either, if you know get my drift.
The shocking death, seemingly through visious canine assault, of New York Post sports reporter Larry Brooks will be far easier to figure out, however, as John Tortorella will laugh and laugh and laugh anytime anyone asks him anything about it.
Also, Sather is to be allowed to "take back" any major UFA errors he makes because sometimes "he totally didn't mean it and his fingers were crossed."
New York Islanders - Truly a tragic and doomed franchised poised never to succeed ever again. Word is Garth Snow had the most idiosyncratic demands of any GM, but everyone just laughed at him. As a bit of advice, however, he was told to not sign injury prone goalies to two-decade long contracts.
Ottawa Senators - Continue to let star players have their talents and skills wane until they fade into obscurity on other teams after messy and public contract disputes and trade demands come to a head and the team is forced to move on. Further to this, the team is no longer allowed to pick up Jonathan Cheechoo as a result of these blowups, but that is not percieved to be an issue.
Philadelphia Flyers - Ed Snider shall remain atop the Commissioner's shoulder wearing the pitchfork and horns, influencing the League to make all current and future financial developments benefit mostly just Philadelphia, or else something bad will allegedly happen, I guess.
The team is also to acquire every goaltender currently under NHL contract in the hopes that maybe one or two of them aren't going to go Tiger Vodka Mad and then forget how to keep pucks from flying past them into the net.
Something about Eric Lindros.
Phoenix Coyotes - Phoenix management has lobbied hard to continue their ownership deal with the NHL, as everything has seemed to benefit them pretty well under this arrangement. If they can get the league to sign off on a 22 million dollar contract on a 36 year old Shane Doan, they're pretty confident they can sneak just about anything else through as well.
Pittsburgh Penguins - Sidney Crosby is to be placed in carbonite a la Han Solo at anytime he is not needed on the ice. Also required to wear two helmets. While sleeping.
Meanwhile, Marc-Andre Fleury is to be traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. His replacement will be the legendary Jean Claude Van Damme, who you'll remember played "Canadian born Pittsburgh firefighter Darren McCord" (a truly Belgian name if I've ever heard one) in the film Sudden Death, which included a scene where McCord dons the pads and plays goal for the Penguins. In Game 7. Of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Penguins goaltending will see absolutely no change to it's SV%, but Van Damme costs less, and can protect Sidney Crosby from terrorists and David Steckel.
San Jose Sharks - Since it never matters if the Sharks are good or bad, they are eternally cursed and will never win a Stanley Cup for reasons probably mostly mystical and unknown, the team is allowed to do whatever the hell it wants, as it's never going to make a difference anyway.
They sholuld probably try to do something cool with Joe Thornton though.
St. Louis Blues - Surely losing a great hockey guy like now former Team President John Davidson thanks to new ownership looking to immediately cut costs will have no negative effect on the Blues and their promising young lineup poised to go far with the right leadership in place, so nothing to report here.
Tampa Bay Lightning - In what for most people would seem like down home common sense, the Lightning have put in place a policy that explicitly states that under no circumstances can Barry Melorse coach the team or Steven Stamkos ever, EVER again. This policy shall remain in place through Tampa Bay's next 12 ownership regimes in the next six years and Steve Yzerman's tearful resignation from the team, which we all know is coming someday, somehow.
Toronto Maple Leafs - Effective immediately, the word truculent is to be stricken from the English language and never used ever again, thus saving the Leafs from themselves and forcing them to build teams based around players who are, you know, good (Off in the distance, the soft tears of Colton Orr could be heard streaming down his rugged face).
In related news, in an effort to foster more of a culture of winning at the Air Canada Center, the team has announced it will no longer be celebrating it's annual Mike Palmateer night, a tradition in which select season ticket holders are invited to center ice before the start of a game and asked to tell the world all the things they liked about former Leafs tender Mike Palmateer, who has never been invited to attend.
Finally, the Leafs stipulate that all future trades will occur with NOT the Boston Bruins.
Vancouver Canucks - Leaflets are to be distributed throughout the entire city of Vancouver designed to indoctrinate the citizens and fans of the team that winning the President's Trophy is a far more important and worthy achievement than winning the Stanley Cup. To keep up appearances, Canucks players with Twitter are requested to take photos and place them online documenting their day spent with the President's Trophy in their hometowns. Kevin Bieksa will tweet a photo of himself taking part in the age old tradition of eating a pizza off of the top plate.
Fans will believe this, cheer voraciously, and search eternally to find Alexandre Burrows' name on the trophy when making the pilgrimage to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Washington Capitals - Disgruntled superstar and Capitals moneymaker Alex Ovechkin will be brought back to Washington after his candid comments about Russian players staying home after the lockout and having their contracts honoured and sat down for a private one-on-one discussion with Caps owner, Ted Leonsis. Leonsis is to labour hard on the details about DC's penchant for gun violence and what the potential realities of such a fact could be. Capiche, Ovy?
Ovechkin will then score 60 goals a year or more out of sheer terror and awareness of his own mortality.
Winnipeg Jets - Dustin Byfuglien and Kyle Wellwood are to donate half of every lunch they have during the season to local food banks, thus creating a nicely forged bond with the city's charitable branch and cementing the Jets' place as community pillars, while simultaneously guaranteeing the ice at the MTS Center has far less cracks in it.
The resulting smoother ice surface should allow Evander Kane and Ondrej Pavelec toTOTALLY LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS after signing such well deserved contracts in the offseason.
The City, not convinced, requests that next time a team packs up and relocates to Winnipeg, it be one that is way better than the Atlanta Thrashers.
The Times, They Are A-Changin'
These are the tiny adjustments teams are making to their own policies and are expected to coincide nicely with the new CBA, whenever that happens, and much like after the followout from the last lockout, the changes to the policies for each team is likely to usher in a new era of exciting hockey.
And with that in mind, and how it affects the way teams build up their rosters, I have no problem being the first to give congratulations to the 2014 President's Trophy winning Vancouver Canucks.

I didn't even bother to read your article.

Seriously, no Sudden Death movie clip?
I'm very disappointed in you, bookofloob.
Vancouvers and Winnipegs are the best.

And yet you bothered to comment.
November 08 2012, 09:29AM
Oh right, Ottawa had Jonathan Cheechoo.
November 08 2012, 09:34AM
I was also under the impression that Dallas requested that the "foot in the crease" rule be re-instated, but only in games against Buffalo and only if the rule would never be enforced.

@Matt Henderson
As I understand it, Darcy Regier got all huffy until it was explained that this would only happen in playoff overtime situations, at which point he looked over at Ville Leino, shrugged, and said 'why not?'
Scott Howson comment is pure gold
November 08 2012, 09:55AM
Is there going to be a follow up about players who want certain provisions to protect themselves?
Something like "Wade Redden promises that if allowed back into the NHL he will never, ever, let Glen Sather sign him to multi year AHL deal for 6M per year. ECHL deals are still on the table though"
mayhaps The Sharks need to employ James Cameron to search for their missing unknown?

Mark Jankowski would like to undo Jay Feaster's "In 10 years Jankowski MUST be dubbed the best player from his draft class" clause and instead would just like to substitute a "In 10 years Jankowski must be allowed to play in at least 1 professional game" clause.

Dustin Brown would like the unofficial 'don't call Dustin Brown for diving' rule codified as a commandment in the official NHL rule book.
NHL Rule 12.1 Thou shalt not assess a diving penalty upon Dustin Brown.
If New Jersey doesn't have a mandate in the CBA to sign Miroslav Satan then it is incomplete. The marketing revenue that could be harnessed from Jersey pulling that off could fund brand new arenas in every NHL city within a year.
November 08 2012, 10:45AM
haha this was awesome and made this snowy morning much more enjoyable
I actually laughed out loud at the Scott Howson one.
November 08 2012, 10:48AM
I don't think Ovechkin actually is aware of his own mortality.
November 08 2012, 10:57AM
Well that was just super. I also laughed out loud at the CBJ clause.
You are now by far the most entertaining writer on FN not named Kent. And even then...
November 08 2012, 11:14AM
I spit coffee through my nose at the idea of Mike Palmateer night in T.O.! He was my favorite goalie growing up (and later Fuhr of course).
Then I cleaned the coffee up with several needlessly acrobatic saves.
November 08 2012, 11:44AM
Nice work Loobie.

And to think i've been wearing my bike helmet wrong all these years, thanks Loob :)

Hi, I am commenting NOT from Flamesnation but the JetsNation site so that this comment is now 20% off (because Winnipeggers LOVE coupons)! Anyhooo...another one for the Oilers: We shall not slightly change our jerseys from blue and orange to blue and copper with red trim that almost looks the same but allows us to have the "4th place medal" from the Olympics (copper) as part of our jerseys. Just dumb! Worst uniform adjustment ever!
Atta boy Hakan. Lots of good chuckles here. Thanks.

Lol! So funny i had to read a few out for the wife after she asked why the hell i was laughing to myself every 60 seconds or so.
Very, very entertaining and the Howson comment was great but the Islanders comment took the cake.

Revitalizing Agriculture, Empowering Women in Afghanistan

In the past few days I've experienced what every college professor relishes in – reconnection with former students. In some ways, seeing a student graduate is like letting my dog Chili off her lead – I never know if she's going to go chase the bunnies or remain close by and be obedient. There's been more than one occasion when freedom has meant chasing a cat, when it should have been all about sticking by me while we check the mail or get the newspaper.
I have been fortunate through the years to have great students and to enjoy living a portion of McMurry's core values – that personal relationships are the catalyst for life. Those relationships begin as students come in as freshmen and we begin to learn about each other – about our families, the importance of faith in our lives, how to balance needs and wants, where education has and will lead us. I believe my students know me well, know my wife and sons, know that I really, really care about their success as students today and professionals of the future. Students at small colleges like McMurry probably have no clue that their faculty live vicariously through the lives of their students, and that we feel great pride and a sense of credit and accomplishment when our alums become successful. They take a piece of us with them and leave a piece of themselves behind when they have spent four years in our classes and offices. And when they then graduate and go off, I know I always worry that they will chase cats and rabbits and neglect to stay in touch.
I have seen the beginning and endpoint of that journey in the past week, starting with Student Preview on Saturday. Talking with prospective students and their parents is always enjoyable, as I emphasize the strength of our programs and more importantly the strength of our relationships with students. If those in attendance at Preview could only have a glimpse of the outcome of a McMurry education! I was reminded of that on Sunday, when Dr. Sharla Owens sent a friend request on Facebook from California where she practices and teaches emergency medicine. Our college-age sons were just little guys when our family drove down to Galveston for her graduation from UTMB. Then today, Dr. Chad Johnson, alumnus and physician in El Paso, contacted me to discuss a high schooler he knows who is interested in McMurry. Chad was my barometer on the quality of our science courses during his time at McMurry. Anytime I needed to know how we were doing, he was willing to answer truthfully. And yesterday I was privileged to spend an hour or so with Dr. Gena Jester Nichols, catching up on people and old times, and learning about her research on Adenoviruses and how her Wake Forest PhD has prepared her for her new job as a Research Scientist at Tulane.
Three different students, three different success stories of moving through the years from teacher-student to mentor-apprentice, and finally to friends and colleagues. It has been a very rewarding week for me because these three alums have chosen to reconnect with McMurry's science faculty. May those who enter as freshmen next fall do likewise over the years to come.

LEXINGTON, Va. - Sophomore midfielder Alex Van Krevel scored three goals on seven shots, while senior attackman Jeremy Boltus led all players with six points on two goals and four assists as #12/13 Army posted its first win of 2011 by virtue of a commanding 12-6 decision at VMI on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Knights improved to 3-0 all-time against the Keydets with their first road game of the series. Army (1-1) dominated nearly every statistical category, including a 45-25 advantage in shots.
"The team played hard from the opening whistle," said head coach Joe Alberici. "Derek Sipperly did a great job on the face off and really setting the tone for us early. We pressured a lot offensively, especially early on. Our defensive effort extended to the perimeter, which enabled us to get the ball on the ground several times. We just kept playing the next play and won the game in the middle of the field."
Sipperly won his first six face offs, the majority of which came against VMI junior captain Stephen Robarge, who finished 2010 ranked fourth nationally in face offs won.
Army led 2-1 after the first quarter and outshot the Keydets 16-4 in the opening 15 minutes. Sophomore attackman Garrett Thul opened the scoring after reeling in a pass from sophomore midfielder Pat Brennan on Army's first man-up opportunity at the 9:26 mark. Van Krevel followed with his first score of the game just 29 seconds later, giving the Black Knights a 2-0 lead. VMI's Keith Long got the Keydets on the board with 1:16 left in the first.
A VMI goal 1:22 into the second quarter leveled the score at 2-2. That would be the Keydets' last goal of the half, as a stifling Army defense keyed a 6-2 halftime lead. Van Krevel scored his second goal before the break, while Hayes, Boluts and junior midfielder Matt Hurley all found the back of the net once.
Van Krevel wasted no time scoring completing his hat trick, as he beat VMI goalie Kelly McMinn 46 seconds into the third quarter. The Black Knights continued to roll, scoring four more goals in the third, including freshman midfielder Tyler Kamides' first collegiate goal with five seconds remaining in the third.
Neither team scored over the opening nine minutes of the fourth quarter until junior attackman Conor Hayes' goal gave Army its largest lead of the afternoon (12-4) with 5:47 remaining. VMI would score twice more in the final five minutes, but time ran out on the Keydets.
VMI's McMinn finished with 18 saves in goal, while All-American goalie Tom Palesky of Army collected six saves on 12 shots on goal.
The Black Knights return to action on Sunday, Feb. 27, when they travel upstate to take on No. 2/1 Syracuse at 4 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. The highly anticipated contest will be a rematch of one of the biggest upsets in Army lacrosse history as the Black Knights knocked off then-two-time defending national champion Syracuse in double overtime to open the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Fans in the Hudson Valley unable to make the trip can catch the action live on Time Warner Cable channel 199.

We often hear that the best nutrition filled meals come from a balanced diet. In other words proper portions of a wide variety of foods. One of the finest, healthiest ways of consuming and enjoying wonderful nutritiously tantalizing meals is to eat foods fresh and raw in a salad.
My favorite salads not only have a wide variety of flavors, textures and colors, but also include a few ounces of seafood, chicken, pork or beef.
Today's suggestion for oriental salad will include grilled chicken, but you may substitute with some grilled seafood or beef at your pleasure. The highlighted flavor will be of oranges, a deliciously sweet and tart flavor that goes well with so many of our foods.
Oriental Salad with Cashews and Orange Sesame VinaigretteServes 4
12 ounces seasoned, grilled and sliced chicken breast1/3 cup whole cashews, toasted2 oranges, peeled and segmented1 cup Napa cabbage, finely sliced1/4 cup shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced3/4 cup organic spring greens3/4 cup organic baby spinach3 green onions, chopped
Preheat oven to 400°, spread cashews and a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes remove from oven and set aside. Be careful not to over do this.
Cut off 1/4 inch of the top and bottom of each orange, in this fashion they will sit upright on your cutting board. Trim away all of the skin and carefully cut out each segment. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the Napa cabbage, spring greens and baby spinach toss with the Orange Sesame Vinaigrette and divide evenly among four plates. Top each with mushrooms, cashews, orange segments and chicken, garnish with the green onion. Enjoy!
Orange Sesame Vinaigrette
1 Tbl soy sauce2 tsp Rice vinegar2 Tbl fresh squeezed orange juice1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger1 small clove garlic, chopped1/2 tsp sugar1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce1/4 cup peanut oil1 tsp sesame oil Freshly ground black pepper
In a blender or food processor add the soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, ginger, black pepper, sugar, Tabasco and garlic, process until well blended. With motor running slowly add the peanut and sesame oils in a thin stream until the mixture is emulsified. If you find the above to be too few ingredients to effectively use a blender or food processor use a garlic press to crush the garlic and a wire whisk with a medium-sized stainless steel bowl to blend in all the ingredients and emulsify the oils.
I hope you are incorporating salads into your meal routine at least 5 or 6 times per week. Make an effort to keep the ingredients on hand for a good variety of greens and veggies as well as the makings for your own dressings. Remember, for each salad/meal 1 to 2 tablespoons of dressing, tossed with the greens, should be sufficient. You can be assured that the resulting meal is highly nutritious and well balanced.

The Cascade M11 hockey helmet w/ cage offers excellent protection.
Cascade has teamed up with the great Hall of Fame NHL player Mark Messier to create Messier Project. The Messier Project was created to address the issue of concussions in hockey, by effective product development and a public awareness campaign. The M11 helmet was created as part of the Messier Project to help reduce concussions and offer top level protection.
The M11 hockey helmet features Seven Technology. The Seven Technology system uses a new liner system to absorb maximum energy and almost instantly return to the original positioning. The Seven Technology is perfect for the sport of hockey, due to the that hockey is a multiple impact sport. According to Cascade the M11 helmet offers 26% better performance on first impacts, 107% better on second impacts, and 140% better on third impacts when compared to conventional EPP foam helmets. The Seven Technology is able to regenerate to the original position faster than traditional EPP foam offering increased performance on multiple impacts.
The M11 hockey helmet is also constructed out of a one-piece shell design. This shell design also reduces direct energy transfer. Cascade has also introduced a new fit system call ProFit™. ProFit™ is a single ratchet system to adjust the size of the helmet. This is an easy tool-free system on the back of the helmet offering a personalized fit.
The M11 helmet cage combo comes with the Cascade certified face cage. This is a traditional steel wire cage design. Cascade has used a neutral gray color for enhanced vision.

Comments: Great helmet! Fits perfectly and noggin feels well protected. Love it morethan my old Bauer 4500 and 7500.
From: Mo, VA
Comments: I love the secure feeling this helmet gives me, it is soft on the inside and the cage is nice also. GREAT COMBO, I recommend this helmet to anyone.
From: Michael, PA
Comments: I've owned this helmet for three years now. I've got a wide head and this helmet allowed me to adjust it to a perfect fit. I've taken a pounding hitting my head to the boards, smacking the back of my head on the ice and some elbow shots. This is a great helmet and offers great protection.
From: Wan, VA
Comments: I love this Helmet. It fits great, adjusts easily and protects better than any helmet I have ever owned. I love the custom color options as well. Can't beat it.
From: SB, TX
Comments: Great helmet. Lightweight, cradles my head with a quick adjustment. Snaps are a breeze on and off. All around great helmet. Customizing and color options are fantastic.
From: Bill, Sugar Hill, GA
Comments: I have been using this helmet for about 2 months now and it is the best helmet I have ever owned. I have taken a few big head collisions and without any adverse effects like I had in the past. I play in an adult B league twice a week and I cannot recommend this helmet enough.
