Gregor asked your ol' pal Wanye to handle the GDB today on account of the fact he is "handing out hampers to less fortunate Edmonton families today." If there is ever a reason to bang out a 400 word article for a guy in a pinch, this has to be it.
But be forewarned we aren't in any mood to objectively look at this Oilers squadron and find a way to suggest they are going to win.
Nor are we in a mood to serve up another triple helping of negativity. We have had our fill of that too of late.
And so we will take a third approach to this GDB. We try and take the temperature of our fellow Oilers fans to see where all of our heads are at on the 32nd game of the year.
On the one hand we are living in a world where three Oilers are in the top 30 in scoring in the NHL. The last time this happened we were enrolled in elementary school, Jason Gregor had a full head of hair and Rexall Place was considered a state-of-the-art facility capable of hosting Oilers hockey well into the next century.
3 guys in the top 30? Two of them are under 22? There is another Super Sophmore that isn't on the list because he was hurt?
Some folks will tell you that this is more than enough joy for a team that is coming off back to back last place seasons in the NHL. "Rome wasn't built in a day" they will say, looking to the distant horizon - presumably dreaming about Rome.
For the glass is half full camp, there is nothing to be concerned about here. Nothing - not even another season on the outside looking in at the playoffs - can reverse the progress made or diminish the potential of this team in the next decade.
Even those who count themselves among the pessimistic group of Oilers fans are in far better shape than they were a couple of years ago. We aren't exactly trying to pretend that Patrick O'Sullivan will be a servicable NHL player for years to come anymore.
You can't find a fan or critic anywhere that will try and diminish the impact Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and MC NUUUUUUUGE have already had on the NHL and most won't even try and put a wet blanket on what they are capable of doing in their careers.
No, for the Glass is half empty crowd it is precisely because the Oilers are laden with this impossible bounty of freshly minted talent that this season is so frustrating. "How can you go from first to worst in such fashion? Where are the veteran leaders paid to guide these sophmores and rookies through the turbulent waters of an NHL season? Why are the Captains and Assistants sitting around waiting for the Kids to do something on most nights?"
Make no mistake - Daryl "Kay-Z" Katz is going to need a winner to sell out this new building due to arrive in 2023. Say what you want about the silent owner, he didn't become a Billionaire by overpaying under delivering staff along the way.Sooner or later something will give if things don't improve.
You can bet on it.
It is impossible to predict the future. Unless you are the people who made the video above back in the 1960s. At that point it seems it was entirely possible to predict the future with stunning accuracy.
What if this isn't simply a losing streak? What if the Oilers miss the playoffs for the sixth year in a row? Can Steve Tambellini really expect long term employment when his team will have failed so miserably under his watch?
Can his phasers be permanently set to "assessing" before someone is going to ask what he is doing exactly to earn his paycheque? How many years in a row can he ignore the pressing need to improve in size and grit on both the front and back ends?
Are third and fourth defensemen so hard to find that we can't hope to bring another one in to Edmonton in any reasonable timeline? Is Ales Hemsky going be left to rot on the vine until he has injury-plagued his disinterest into half of the market value he was worth a few years ago?
What will become of our favourite NHL Ice Hockey Squadron?
The Oilers finally tweeted their lineup a few minutes ago:
No D pairings have been tweeted and if the starting goalie has been announced we haven't seen it.
How's that for some inside information?

Well timed penallty Peckman.
December 17 2011, 10:34PM
Have to say, much better effort tonight. Just wish that somebody other than the kids would step up. I have no confidence in any of the other lines scoring or even generating any offensive zone time.
December 17 2011, 10:35PM
Stop bawling, you cupcake. I was just d*cking with you. Sharkies win 3-2
I blame you...
December 17 2011, 10:38PM
WTF??? Can someone please trade Peckham? Right now, I'd rather have Teubert...
December 17 2011, 10:38PM
Much better effort tonight but how many times did Hemsky turn the puck over?
December 17 2011, 10:40PM
best thing about the end of the game... cbc plays maiden!!
After tonight the Oilers brass gotta concede they may not be making the playoffs. The kids get it, but these vets like Horc, Belanger, Hemsky, Eager don't. The Oil need size and youth, and they gotta get rid of the chaff.
Well I'm at the point where I've accepted that this team will finish bottom three in the league, so losses don't hurt so much anymore. At least they sort of tried tonight. Just keep trying, finish bottom three to get a good d-man, fire Tambellini, and fire Renney. It has to happen sooner or later. Never do a gm and coach go unscathed through a rebuild.
*Sigh* How sad that I'm already looking to next year. At least we made it longer than the last couple seasons. But man it's getting harder and harder to keep cheering this team on. But I will keep doing so. It'll make it that much more gratifying when this team is actually good. Well...if they get good. A guy can hope.
Much better effort tonight but how many times did Hemsky turn the puck over?
Way too many times, but at least it looked like a better effort from him tonight. He was trying to create but he does have to recognize when it isn't there and get the puck deep. Looks like he was trying to make a play when it wasn't there.
I will take theses losses all day compared to the one in Phoenix. The Oilers carried the play for large portions of the game and the result could have gone either way.
ho hum another loss for the Oil. Tambo is on record saying all the pieces are in place for the oilers to make a playoff run. What coolaide is he drinking ? oil brass must think the paying fans are of low hockey IQ. Quite frankly im getting a little tired of their bs. I have mention before about the asset management and lack of it. Final Payjarvi will get some play time all be it down in okc. How long did it take management to make this decision. Hemsky trade value continues to slide,still nothing is done to address the defensive wows? lack of size in our top nine. when will this get addressed ? yes we did pick up Belanger for help in the face off circle. yes can win a face off but lacks size and grit. RB suggested Steckle with size and good on the draw. He goes to Toronto instead.Where and what is our GM doing ? How much longer are we going to have to watch KLowe and his puppet Tambelini run this team into the ground. With CHristmas a week away the oil sit closer to yet another toilet bowl contention.

Well.... yes. You speak the truth. Didn't Lowe say almost exactly that last year? Or Katz? (or maybe it was Stauffer, lol)
We are supposed to have a couple crap years, followed by a year (or two) of "the kids" developing while using stop-gap, plug, i.e. transitional players. Then after that, start pulling the trigger to put your team together.
I thought that was the plan. I've heard Renney was the perfect coach for the rebuild. That doesn't mean he will he be here to win a cup.
December 17 2011, 11:15PM
@Wäx Män Riley
Of course the playoffs are the goal. Every year, every player and coach wants to win. No one likes losing and does it on purpose (maybe Penner?) for the sake of losing.
Is Tambo losing now for the sake of winning later? Sounds counter-intuitive.
Since a 5-2 win in Minnesota, the Oilers have now gone 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. Smyth has 0 goals and 3 assists, Horcoff has 0 goals and 4 assists, and Hemsky has 1 goal and 3 assists during that stretch. Seems like it is the veterans who have been a huge reason why this team isn't winning. Not like we needed stats to back up this theory, but when your three most seasoned vets have a COMBINED 1 goal in ten games, that is just unacceptable.

I agree that the veterans that should be contributing, but aren't, are the problem. Most obviously Hemsky and Whitney have both struggled since coming back. Horcoff is Horcoff, and Smyth has cooled off after his torrid start, which had to happen. Goaltndeing has gone from off the charts to average.
Would getting a servicable 3/4 defenceman for Hemsky be a trade worth doing? Do you think that anyone in the league would take a chance on Hemsky even for this relatively modest price?

You could probably get a 3/4 defenceman for Hemsky, but is that what this team needs. Don't we already have a bunch of 3/4 D-men?
I might try to be patient with Hemsky. He has already devalued his trade value to a minimum (with both injuries and his current slump). You could probably get the same for him at the deadline as you could get now no matter how he plays. The upside is he might start being back to the normal Hemsky and his value could go up.
I've always maintained that Hemsky's injuries, and now his lacklustre recent play make his real value a lot higher than his trade value, so I agree with your preaching patience.
That said, I think we have to many 5/6 defenceman, not abunch of 3/4. Until Whitney gets his groove back and/or Potter proves he's for real, Smid and Gilbert are the only ones who'd slot above #5 on any playoff team in the league, and Smid only reached that level this season.
Positive from tonight, Hall in the last portion of the game was nuts, absolutely crazy, I can't wait until we make the playoffs he has a level that no one has seen yet, and I think we got a preview tonight.
Tonight's the kind of game I wish I could have talked to my dad about in the morning.. They were in it for at least for most of it, but fell short.
What else can I say? In the drunken stupor I find myself in, all I can think about before the Holidays is wishing he was still around to critique this effort. Sigh..
Man I need anothe drink.. sigh
If i had a $ for every time Hemsky lost the puck on a fancy pants deke attempt and then nonchalantly watches as the opposition breaks out and has set up in our zone while he's crossing there blue line i could buy the new arena
try this for future games it works good for me http://www.firstrowsports.tv/
Oilers played a good road game but for a few exceptions. 2-0 against Khabby? 1-0? PP goal. Khabby looked goood. The Oilers Team D looked confused. SJ size is such an xfactor.They owned edmonton on the boards and in the faceoff dot. Peckham chose an awful time to take a selfish penalty. The play was nowhere near him. Theo deserved the pine after that bonehead play. The Oilers kid line had just owned the Sharks for a minute and half. Momentum was surging and Theo decided he needed to kill that with a stupid penalty. He should join MP on the farm. He has been awful all season. Belanger looked lost. Hemsky put forth alot of effort with no result. His try was there last night. This loss is no big deal.Expected. If we had won now that would have been the surprise.
The kids are running the team and they must get much better and productive offensively in order for the team to reach playoffs . the veterans only look half decent when the kids are with them . The defence is still very inferior to most teams in all aspects , and is a long ways from being addressed . Nobody on defence can shoot worth much , or transition well or consistently with offence . Until we get much better ,faster and more diverse and talented defencmen the support for the kids will be less than is required for a playoff team . Only Smyth and Jones are playing as one would expect out of veteran support cast - the rest seem to be playing sub par .
December 18 2011, 09:20AM
I'm at a loss for words everybody except for the kid line and Jones looked lost.
Can somebody tell me why Lander is still with the big club?
If the Oil have another top 10 pick this yr ST should be Hung out to dry.
December 18 2011, 09:31AM
A little good news for the Nation.......check out MPS's shoot out winner last night on the OKC Barons website. A little smile on an otherwise bleak morning.
December 18 2011, 10:33AM
Better effort. Hemsky looked more engaged and his feet were moving. Crazy giveaways though. Peckham has been bad. I guess that's why he couldn't crack the lineup in the beginning of the season.
The kids are unreal. This is the first season in a long time that I get excited to watch every game. Future best line in the NHL, maybe by the end of the year.
The vets are not contributing offensively. Unfortunately I don't think there is a quick solution in terms of a trade or a firing that a lot are suggesting. The best value we can get for our tradeable assets are picks. Unless we are trading one of the kids or packaging our first pick this year, we are not getting a #1 or #2 dman or a power forward.
I think we're stuck with this lineup until the trade deadline. Firing Renney might light a fire under the vets but I don't like how that might effect the kids. They all seem to be playing well under Renney. JUst look at Gagner. 3 coaches in his first 4 years and we still haven't seen the Sam Gagner we saw in his rookie year.
nice Paajarvi goal last night...the only problem with it was that there were zero defenders around him. I'm not worried about him having bad hands...we know he can score...I'm worried about him pushing the paint and trying to score in tight where the action is. That's the whole point of his demotion is it not? Hopefully we will see some of that soon.
December 18 2011, 04:16PM
Much better effort tonight but how many times did Hemsky turn the puck over?
I'm tired of Hemsky's lack of effort and drive. He brings nothing to the table night after night and the coaching staff continues to play him. The way he saunters to the bench after his shift drives me wild, the Oil are basically in a five on four situation every time he does that! wake up Tom , and bench or trade this lazy barnicle!!!

Ontario Prostitution Ruling Could Bring Legalized Brothels
Please enter your comments below.
A great Idea to Clean things up and make it safer.
I have several friends in Toronto that are "escorts" of varying degrees and specialties and what this will do for them is allow them to be organized in a legitimate business, advertise their specialties. have a central location in which to do business, hire security and do background checks on new employees as well as medical checkups to ensure disease free customers as well as service givers. The fact that it will cleanup the "wandering" prostitutes is a great reason to legalize it to begin with. There are already legal "dungeons" that if you wish to continue further into a sexual act it is at the discretion of the service giver, however as it stood previously the continuation was considered Illegal, which is a contradiction since the acts in the dungeon are to satisfy a need as does sex does.

On Monday, 11 July from 3:00 p.m. through Wednesday, 13 July until 5:00 p.m. (USA Mountain Time), NSIDC data distribution, services, and Web site will be unavailable to accommodate a major upgrade to our data center. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Need to talk to us? You can always contact our friendly User Services Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or + 1 303.492.6199.
In this Issue
NSIDC Notes
NSIDC's Antarctic Glaciological Data Center (AGDC) recently released two new data sets, now available on its Web site. The data sets, provided to AGDC by investigators funded by NSF's Antarctic Glaciology program, contain glaciochemical, accumulation rate, ice thickness, and surface elevation records from various sites in Antarctica.
David Reusch of the University of New Hampshire provided the "Central West Antarctic Glaciochemistry from Ice Cores" data set. These data, collected as part of Dr. Paul Mayewski's NSF grants related to the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Initiative, consist of glaciochemical and accumulation rate records developed from four ice cores in Central West Antarctica. The ice core data have been used to derive reconstructed former atmospheric circulation patterns in this region for the last 40 years, with extended records (150-250 years) at two sites. Glaciochemical records represent the eight major ionic species present in Antarctic snow.
Donald D. Blankenship and a team of associated investigators contributed the "Ice Thickness and Surface Elevation, Southeastern Ross Embayment, West Antarctica" data. The investigators used a laser altimeter and ice-penetrating radar mounted to a Twin Otter aircraft to survey the ice sheet. These data are a result of the Corridor Aerogeophysics of the Southeastern Ross Transect Zone (CASERTZ) experiments of the 1990s, which were conducted to understand geological controls on ice streams of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and which helped to assess the potential for ice sheet collapse. Blankenship and his team used the ice surface elevations and ice thicknesses data to calculate driving stresses across the ice sheet and to identify regions of low basal resistance and, therefore, rapid ice movement by ice streams.
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Polar Programs funds the AGDC at NSIDC to archive and distribute glaciological and cryospheric data collected by the U.S. Antarctic Program. The AGDC aims to facilitate data exchange among Principal Investigators, to preserve newly collected data that would be useful to future research, to gather data sets from past research, and to compile continent-wide information useful for modeling and field work planning. For more information about the AGDC or either of the data sets described above, visit AGDC or contact NSIDC User Services.

New versions of the snow and ice products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are being archived at NSIDC. The MODIS Version 3 (V003) collections of snow cover and sea ice data are based on improvements to science algorithms and instrument calibration. The MODIS Land Discipline Group (MODLAND) will create a full year of V003 data by using stable algorithms to simultaneously process data from 27 May 2001 forward, and to reprocess data from 29 October 2000 to 26 May 2001. The estimated completion date for these "consistent year" data sets is 31 December 2001.
NSIDC is monitoring proposed improvements to the MODIS cloud mask, which is used as input to the snow and ice products. If changes are made to the cloud mask, or to the way the snow and ice product algorithms treat clouds, information will be made available to product users. For more information on the MODIS snow and ice products, visit MODIS.
On "DMSP SSM/I Daily Polar Gridded Brightness Temperatures," F8 Volumes 5-II and 6-II, the file </document/structur.des> contains the following message:
"!!! The dates OCT 6, OCT 10-NOV 5 were duplicated and labeled as November 1988. This volume (Volume 5-II) is a replacement for the first Volume 5. Simply discard the old Volume 5 and replace it with this new Volume 5-II."
During the last printing of these CD-ROMs, the revision numbers for these two CD-ROM volumes were accidentally left off. If the CD-ROM you are using contains the message above, then you are working with the correct updated CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM volume that you are working with does not contain the message listed above, please contact NSIDC User Services.
The University of New Hampshire's EOS-WEBSTER offers a Normalized Difference Snow/Ice Index and Snow/Ice Cover data set for temperate East Asia, derived from SPOT VGT 10-day composites between 1 March 1999 and 30 November 1999. Data are provided free of charge by Xiangming Xiao and colleagues at the University of New Hampshire. Map images (in JPEG format) of these data are also available.
EOS-WEBSTER is a member of the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIPs). The Federation promotes better understanding of the global environment by providing Earth science data, tools, and technology that give scientists and non-scientists alike the capability to examine and use data for their specific needs. You can learn more about the federation at ESiP Federation.

The NASA Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) is a NASA-sponsored collaborative project among Brigham Young University (BYU), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the National Ice Center (NIC) to develop scatterometer-based data sets in support of climate studies of the Earth's cryosphere and biosphere.
Originally developed to measure winds over the ocean from space, microwave radar scatterometers provide data applicable to a variety of studies, including sea ice, land ice, and vegetation over a wide range of climate conditions. Because its radar signal can penetrate the surface, a scatterometer can observe variability in subsurface/subcanopy features that is driven by diurnal and seasonal to interannual forcing.
The 1978 launch of Seasat, which carried a Ku-band scatterometer (SASS), provided a baseline for subsequent missions. Other missions have followed SASS, including the C-band European Space Agency (ESA) Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) -1 and -2 missions (1992+), the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) on ADEOS-I (1996-97), SeaWinds on QuikSCAT (1999+), and SeaWinds on ADEOS-II (launch planned for 2002).
The SCP datasets are based primarily on a time series of enhanced resolution images made from the scatterometer backscatter (sigma0) measurements using the Scatterometer Image Reconstruction (SIR) and SIR with filtering (SIRF) algorithms. For the highest possible spatial resolution (as well as to ensure full coverage over the images), multiple orbit passes are combined. Thus, there is a tradeoff between temporal and spatial resolution. In addition, a number of ancillary images and derived products are generated, including sea ice extent maps and sea ice motion data sets. From these backscatter images and derived products, key climate-related parameters can be extracted for use in global climate change studies.
For further information, please contact Mark R. Drinkwater, ESA, at email@example.com or David Long, BYU, at email@example.com. Also, visit NASA SCP.
NSIDC will celebrate its 25th anniversary this fall with events in Boulder and at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco. The Boulder event will take place October 11 on the campus of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

The 21st IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) was held at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia on July 9-13. The theme of IGARSS 2001, "Scanning the Present, Resolving the Future," provided hundreds of attendees the opportunity to assess the impact of recent advances and applications of remote sensing technology.
Sessions on the MODIS, ASTER, and MISR instruments reflected recent interest in the Terra satellites and the EOSDIS system. Several NSIDC scientists gave presentations on recent research projects. During a session on Antarctica, Ted Scambos presented talks on the effects of a warming climate on ice shelves and on snow megadunes and models for their formation. Anne Nolin spoke on cryospheric applications of MISR, while Julienne Stroeve presented a poster titled "Sensitivity Analysis of Operational Passive Microwave Sea-Ice Algorithms."
Held annually at international venues, IGARSS is considered the premier world conference on the topic of remote sensing, drawing hundreds of scientists and engineers to discuss current research and technology.
IGARSS 2002 will be held in Toronto, Canada on June 24-28, 2002.
The 2001 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA on December 10-14. NSIDC will sponsor an exhibit booth and will also hold a special session, titled "Monitoring an Evolving Cryosphere" (AGU session code IP02). We look forward to the opportunity to discuss our products and services with you.

The staff at NSIDC extend our deepest sympathies to families and friends of the victims of the September 11 attacks. We were greatly saddened to learn that two meteorologists from the U.S. National Ice Center, Matthew Flocco and Edward Earhart, were killed at the Pentagon. Dr. Charles Falkenberg and his wife and two children were passengers on the aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon. Charles was Director of Research at ECOlogic and has worked with our NASA colleagues for many years. These deaths especially touch those of us who work here at NSIDC. In the face of this national tragedy, it has been heartening to receive many messages expressing sympathy and support from our colleagues around the globe. We thank all of you who have written.
NSIDC welcomes Yarrow Axford (Science/Technical Writer), Mike Hartman (ARCSS Data Coordinator), Jim Miller (Research Assistant), Donna Scott (User Services Representative), and Mike Stowe (IT Security Coordinator), all of whom joined us this summer.
NSIDC bids farewell to Tracy Thrasher-Hybl (User Services Representative) and Nick Suszczyk (Systems Administrator). We wish them the best of luck in their new endeavors.

Is Ramona Singer the new Jill Zarin? Oh, how the tides have changed.
Ramona may be crazypants but she OWNS it. Despite two years of verbal diarrhea, Ramona has replaced Jill as the show's Mother Hen, connector and liaison between the ladies. That much was clear when Who's Who in the cast of Real Housewives Of New York City showed up to witness Ramona and husband Mario renew their vows after 17 years of marriage. Even Kelly Bensimon was there. She grimaced through her shark-like teeth — or was she smiling? Hard to tell.
Before the big ceremony, Jill tried to patch things up with Bethenny Frankel over lunch at Le Cirque. "What happened to us? I feel like we're married and we're separated," she told her former BFF-turned-archnemesis. Bethenny's response: "I found you to be disloyal in the last six months. It killed me. It's like a divorce." They cried and went home, their relationship status vague. Jill admitted she holds grudges, which is not good. Way to assume responsibility, Jill! Remember when she got kicked off the Virgin Islands and didn't realize WHY? Baby steps …
Meanwhile, Countess LuAnn was busy making her debut as a prominent recording artist-slash-wannabe gay icon. She performed her future Grammy-winning original song "Money Can't Buy You Class" at this one party, and people got really into it, dancing around while she sang-talked. Ramona, Bethenny and Alex McCord did not show up. Bitches. Who would miss this concert? Oh, and Countess' new boyfriend was there — a Frenchman named Jacques. He's way less of a creepy-creepo than Guppy Lips. "I wouldn't have missed it for anything," Jacques told Countess. Hot.
Kelly and Jill discussed the song's lyrics:
"Money can't buy you class," Kelly explained.
"You have to learn elegance," Jill added.
And finally, Ramona's wedding day arrived. Her teen daughter Avery advised Ramona not to cry at the altar. "Just try to be strong for a minute a half. It's not that difficult," she said, while getting her hair done by THE Oscar Blandi.
Jill "dropped by" Ramona's swank UES pad before the ceremony to wish her frenemy luck. Then Ramona saw Avery in her blue bridesmaid dress and got all emotional like mothers do. "I'm an older woman, and you are a young, gorgeous, beautiful woman," she gushed. Avery smiled and then complained that she could not make her dramatic staircase entrance holding both the flowers and their dog Coco (who also wore blue for the special occasion).
Somehow the whole shebang came together — smoothly! — with Ramona making her grand entrance in a white gown and trying not to spill a Pinot Grigio. (Oh, she didn't have a PG? Weird).
Alex overheard Jill remarking that the "the two teams" were divided, sitting across the aisle from each other! "Typical Jill," said Alex. Maybe so, but a fair observation: On one side there was Jill, Countess and Kelly; on the other, sat Bethenny, Alex and Simon. We forget where Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert were seated! We were too focused on the surprisingly moving vows. Mario thanked Ramona for giving him "the most beautiful daughter," and Ramona said she loved Mario more now than the day she married him.
Misty eyes! The Singers got a standing O. At the party, everyone made an effort to be nice — Bethenny thanked Alex and Ramona for being a friend during the tough times, when Jill had iced her out. Bethenny had a good, honest conversation with Jill but told her she has "a lot of changing to do." Alex tried to have a heart-to-heart with Jill but Jill was not having any of it. "I can't," she explained, making her exit.
She knew she had a lot more changing to do.
Crushable's Real Housewives dolls re-enact the finale's most memorable scenes below. Some creative liberties were taken. Check out their gallery! Next week: The big reunion (shit)show. Be warned.

Local officials are warning travelers that driving through the Huntington Canyon burned area can be perilous during and after rain storms.
The Seeley Fire has left behind a landscape in Huntington Canyon unlike the one people have known for decades. Steep bare hillsides studded with black tree trunks have replaced thick stands of conifers. This landscape can be hazardous to the public.
Flash floods, falling trees, debris flows, blowing ash, smoldering logs and stump holes present a risk right now in the burned area.
Floods carrying tons of mud and tree trunks surged across SR-31 on July 7 and again on July 16, coming out of Nuck Woodward, Engineer Canyon, The Left Fork of Huntington, and Pole Canyon. These debris flows are deadly for anyone caught in their path. The flows can trap people on the highway between flows or at either end of the highway.
"People need to become aware of the weather and the changed environment," said Capt. Kyle Ekker of the Emery County Sheriff's Office. "There is more water, more sediment, and more debris. Don't be there. Don't drive through unless it's absolutely necessary. It's like the slot canyons in the San Rafael Swell. It may be dry where you are, but a storm miles upstream can bring a flash flood down in your area."
Although SR-31 in Huntington Canyon is open from Huntington to Fairview, drivers are prohibited from stopping in the area below North Hughes Canyon. A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team of natural resource specialists has been going into the Seeley Fire burned area the past few days to examine resource effects after the fire. A preliminary report of their findings is anticipated within the next week.
The Forest Service will base its decision about opening campgrounds and trails on the recommendations of the team.
"It might be a while before people are able to use their favorite campgrounds," said Allen Rowley, Manti-La Sal National Forest Supervisor. "It may take one, two or three years for the area to stabilize so that it is safe for the public to use again."
In the meantime, the Forest Service is asking the public to respect area closures. All National Forest System Lands within the burned area are closed to the public. This includes campgrounds, trails, the Nuck Woodward Road and Trough Springs Ridge Road. Open areas will be posted on the Manti-La Sal National Forest website (www.fs.usda.gov/mantilasal/) as they become available.

Who is WineAlert?
WineAlert is an independent company that provides eRobertParker.com with hundreds of thousands of retailer wine offerings, all fully integrated into the eRobertParker.com database and fully searchable in a myriad of ways.
How are you different from other wine search engines?
Unlike other wine search services that collect retailer data and put it in a mountain of searchable text, our retailer data is matched against the over 150,000 actual wines in the eRobertParker.com database. We believe it is the largest and most accurate wine database in the world.
Why does that matter?
Many wines sound alike or have common words or names. What seems like a straightforward search can yield an enormous listing filled with wines that you aren't looking for. Through SmartSearch, our proprietary matching technology, you can quickly and easily find the exact wine you're looking for. In essence, we do the hard work, so you don't have to.
How does SmartSearch work?
In Text Search, if you input a keyword with a large number of potential matches -- such as "Latour" -- instead of getting page upon page of retailer offerings with the word Latour in them, you're presented with a simple listing of the producers whose name (or the name of one or more of their wines) match your search term. Once you select the producer you want, you can then select the correct wine to display all matching retailer offerings. If you do wish to see all possible matches via a pure text search, bypass the SmartSearch by clicking on the "Retailer Text Search" button. In either case you can specify up front that you only want results that are "Currently for Sale", a huge time saver.
What other kinds of searches can I do?
With Advanced Search you can also include retail availability as a criterion by clicking the "Currently for Sale" button at the top of the page. This powerful feature allows you to perform complex searches using criteria such as regions, producers, precise wine names, vintages, and actual current retail cost, all correlated to Wine Advocate ratings. This process is absolutely unavailable anywhere else.
How many retailers do you have?
We currently work with about 100 top retailers. They are mostly in the U.S., but we have a growing list in Europe as well.
Do you plan to add more?
We are adding retailers all the time, and expect to double that number in 2007. However, please note that we are more selective than other similar services in our choice of retailers to work with. We're careful to ensure that they are legitimate businesses with a genuine commitment to excellence in all aspects of their wine trade. We believe that getting the best price is highly desirable, but not at the expense of the quality of the wine or the service experience. In addition, we pay particular attention to whether or not retailers are careful about not listing wines that are out of stock or that they can't really deliver at the price offered, and will exclude any retailers who are consistently negligent in these areas.
How often do you update your retailer data?
We spider the sites of our participating merchants every night in order to ensure we have the timeliest, most accurate listings possible.
I am a retailer. How can I apply to be listed?

Happy Thursday, Conor.
Thank you for sharing the graphics of Beautiful Ireland. Seeing these images makes me sad that it is one of many, many places that I've never been.
Hey ... there are still about 15 of our states that I haven't seen. That has long been one of my goals. At this point I plan to visit them via the Internet. :)
Wishing you a beautiful, sunny Thursday.
I was worrying about a few things as I sat in my car under a shade tree at lunchtime. Then a robin, with a fat worm dangling from its mouth, landed near my door and looked up at me. The robin was a vivid reminder to me of Jesus words in Matthew 6:25-26, Do not worry about your life . . . . Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Years ago, in an article in the Denver Seminary magazine Focal Point, Paul Borden gave some helpful suggestions for worriers:
Start a worry list. Write down what youre worried about. The bills. Your job. Your children or grandchildren. Your health. The future.
Turn your worry list into a prayer list. Ask the Lord to work in those situations youre concerned about. Pray specifically for your needs and depend on Him.
Turn your prayer list into an action list. If you have any insight that theres something you can do about your cares, do it. As we turn our worries into prayer and action, Borden says, Paralyzing anxiety can be replaced by concern for the responsibilities of life.
Why not start your list right now?
Read: Matthew 6:25-34
I'll bet I could drop one whole stanza from that poem and no one would ever notice or complain.
Besides that, it seems to involve big numbers. Anybody got a calculator?
Amen and Good Morning Mayor!
Happy July!
Great message, Rus..Thank you for starting my day off right.
The older we get the more precious those memories! I can still see our family trying to make it up the steep hill to the summer cabin at Big Bear Lake. We had the car so loaded down and with 6 children barely made it up that steep climb to our summer fun. Oh I miss those days, outhouse and all!!
Five months until November elections!!
LOL..We did have indoor plumbing...but it was a postage stamp bathroom. I usually took a friend and her 3 kids down for long visits..Husbands came on the weekend...
I was so busy..but we required rests and reading in the afternoon so we could get a break from water skiing the kids when they got older...from watching them every minute around the water when they were younger.
It was such a great change ..I loved it.
Good Morning Conor, wishing you a great July 1st! Hard to believe its already July!
That is quite a fortress! Guess I will never see Ireland but it would be nice.
Thats a lovely, lovely graphic and darling poem! I remember when the kids were small and we were gathering everything to go back to our rental and the kids would be whining with sand in their pants! We were tired and felt like whining, too! LOL!
Very precious Pledge, ladies! Thank you.
Thank you for our daily devotion, Mayor! I always apprciate it!
Lovely, Meg! Happy July 1st!!
Amy, I must go out for hair appointment and must get straightened up downstairs. I will try to join you all somtimes. If I get time, I may post a graphic before I leave!
Have a great Thursday!
Hi Polly....happy July 1st to ya!!! Gotta hurry!!
Thanks for starting my day of with a smile!
That's my JOB! hahahahahaha
Some of your pictures today sorta reminded me of our government....like the train wreck....LOL!
Yup. I do.
Consider yourself hugged.
Absolutely YES!! LOL!
AWWwwww They are so darling!
Thank you Meg! ((Hugs))
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cute!
I had a lot to happen in the weeks before that and I guess that topped it off and I just cried. Crying may not help a thing but sometimes it just comes on anyway! I got the car fixed, it was the alternator.
My son called the shop who had it and suggested he thought it may be the alternator. He didn't want them to think that they could just do anything to my car. He was very nice to the gentleman but it pays to have a man to talk to the shop. At the same time, 2 huge trees had fallen in my yard....sometimes its one thing after another, we all know that! Guess I was at the breaking point!! I'm fine now....the Lord stepped in and brought me through. I will shut up now or I'll be late! LOL!!!
Good morning, Mayor. Good to see you again this morning.
Thank you for sharing another helping of ODB.
Wishing you a Terrific Thursday and a blessed weekend.
Good morning, NnB.
I have a great idea!! Instead of modifying today's poem, how about writing me a new Beach poem? :)
I always enjoy rummaging in the archives for the perfect graphic and poem. There are several classics there.
Wishing you a lovely day at the beach.
Happy Thursday, Meg.
That is such a pretty graphic. Thank you for sharing.
I've never spent much time at the beach. We have been taking Marissa to Avila Beach every fall. She loves the beach; hubby and junior love the ocean and visiting the local wineries. Me?? I just enjoy getting away for a few days. :)
Wishing you a wonderful day of beautiful memories.
Good morning, Polly. Thank you.
Happy July. Hard to imagine that the year is half over. I'm anxious for November. Praying that I am not disappointed again.
Our temps have cooled down. Thank God. Hope it is not headed your way. The 108 was miserable. Seemed to have hit us without warning.
Have a delightful day.
Thank you, Jaycee.
As you can see, this is an old Opening. Though I never spent time at the beach when I was young, this graphic still reminds me of summer fun.
Wishing you a beautiful day.
T Y, Jaycee
See ya when you get back.
Hans Geiger, Marie Curie, Rudolf Diesel, Samuel Morse, and Louis Braille share something in common. They all invented or discovered something significant that bears their name. Their names, along with many others, appear in the Encyclopedia Britannicas Greatest Inventions, a list of 325 innovations that have had profound effects on human life.
We who follow Christ bear His name. In Lukes record of the early church, he said: The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch (Acts 11:26). Later, Peter urged the early believers not to be ashamed of suffering as a Christian (1 Peter 4:16). The term Christian, once directed at Jesus followers in scorn, was embraced by them as a badge of honor, a mark of allegiance to Him.
E. M. Blaiklock, former Chair of Classics at the University of Auckland, wrote that in the first century the term Christian had a certain appropriateness, for it implied loyalty and acceptance of a person, and that person, the Messiah (Christ). . . . The true modern use of the word follows the same tradition. . . . The Christian is one who accepts, with all its implications, the lordship of Jesus Christ.
As followers of Christ today, we gladly bear His name as our Savior, Lord, and Friend.

|In response to Re: venting problem
If you connect below the flood level of the fixture, the vent would become a drain line in the event of a drain stoppage, when the sink filled to the level of the lower vent.
: I'm adding a utility sink in my garage. To vent the drain, I'd like to connect into the vent pipe running up vertically from the kitchen sink drain pipe.
: I've heard that I need to connect into the vent at least 6" above the flood level of the sink. Why is this minimum height required? I can easily tap into the vent pipe behind the dishwasher, but that means I will connect to the vent pipe about 2" below the flood level of the sink. Connecting any higher would require heavy drilling and tearing into visible portions of the kitchen wall.
: How big of a risk would I be taking if I connected it lower than the 6" requirement? If that's unacceptable, any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Download the White Paper (1.4 MB, PDF)
To remain competitive, our nation's higher education must keep pace with the rapid globalization of our society over the last few decades, made possible by ever more rapid flows of ideas, technology, people, and information.
Leading higher education institutions have recognized this by "going global" and internationalizing their campuses. Yet surprisingly few colleges and universities make "international" a central part of what it means to become educated.
Now, more than ever before, higher education has a global mandate:
This paper distills some of the most essential information about international education that trustees need to know as they address their institutions' strategic growth and planning, and help them formulate their institutional foreign policies.

Emery County Scouts are getting ready for their annual "Scouting for Food Drive."
Each cub scout troop will be involved in taking the bags out to area residents and the boy scouts will go around and pick up the food bags.
Each troop is setting their own schedule for this activity so watch for your bag or contact your local scouters to find out the schedule for your neighborhood.
This annual event raises needed food items for food banks, abuse shelters, food pantries, homeless shelters and other needy groups and organizations.
The food collected within Emery County will go to the Emery County Food Bank for local distribution. Scouts from Troop 329 in Castle Dale were present at the Emery County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday to present a flag ceremony and increase awareness for the food drive.
The commissioners declared March 29 as Scouting for Food day in the county and encouraged all residents to generously contribute to the food drive when the scouts arrive at your door.

|Nevada Wild Horses & Burros
|Print Page
Herd Management Areas (HMAs)
Under the law, BLM is required to manage wild horses and burros only in those areas (Herd Areas) where they were found in 1971. Through land use planning, BLM evaluates each Herd Area to determine if it has adequate food, water, cover and space to sustain healthy and diverse wild horse and burro populations over the long-term. The areas which meet these criteria are then designated as Herd Management Areas.
For more information about the Herd Management Areas historical data, click here.
If you've adopted a wild horse or burro, your paperwork will include the name of the HMA from which your animal was gathered. Information about Nevada's HMAs can be found on this site.
Click here to view the Nevada Herd Management Areas Map. If you would like to view the Nevada HMA map in details with major road highways marked, click here.
The number next to the HMA's name refers to the field office or district which manages the HMA:
1 – Elko
Of course, there is an exception…some HMAs managed by the Ely Field Office also have a "5". This is because the Caliente Office now reports to the Ely Field Office rather than Las Vegas, as it did more than 30 years ago.)
A group of bachelors on the Owyhee HMA.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q – What if I can't find my horse's home listed here?
Nevada manages two special status HMAs. They are: the Nevada Wild Horse Range and the Marietta Wild Burro Range.
In passing the 1971 WFRHBA, Congress stated their intent: "The principal goal of this legislation is to provide for the protection of the animals from man and not the single use management of areas for the benefit of wild free-roaming horses and burros. It is the intent of the committee that the wild free-roaming horses and burros be specifically incorporated as a component of the multiple-use plans governing the use of the public lands." (Senate Report No. 92-242).
Q – Why doesn't BLM eliminate livestock grazing from Herd Management Areas so wild horses and burros can have this forage?

Parks Canada
Home > National Parks of Canada > Jasper National Park > Visitor Information > Visitor Safety
The awe-inspiring scenery can pose some awe-inspiring hazards too. The most common risks, and how to avoid them, are described here.
Statistically, it's the most dangerous activity in the park.
Driving in WINTER conditions takes extra care:
Highway Construction in Jasper National Park This Summer
Parks Canada is doing work on Highways 16, 93, and 93A this summer that will impact your travel in and out of Jasper. Construction inside the park will generally take place on highway and bridge projects from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with no work on long weekends. Bridge lane reductions and lane width narrowing are in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a also good idea to check the latest road construction conditions to ensure you don't miss your flight, bus, or train. A Great Trip Starts with Good Planning:
Never underestimate the power of weather in the mountains.
Hazards are part of the wilderness environment. Reduce the risks by following these guidelines:
All it takes is a slippery slope or a momentary lapse of attention...
Avalanche Information... The following are some basic guidelines:
New Standard of Care for Youth Groups in the Backcountry
Effective immediately, new policies have been introduced for custodial groups planning backcountry travel in the mountain National Parks (Banff, Yoho, Kootenay, Jasper, Mt. Revelstoke, Glacier, and Waterton Lakes). These policies are in effect from Nov 15 - Apr 30 each year, and have evolved significantly since they were first introduced in April 2004. Parks Canada has established a new standard of care, and custodial group leaders have new obligations and pre-trip planning considerations they must understand. Parks Canada's goal is to encourage our youth to travel in their mountain parks, while at the same time receiving appropriate leadership in suitable locations. The information contained within these pages attempts to offer a strong resource for custodial groups who plan to undertake backcountry travel.
If you are approached by a cougar, wolf or coyote, send a clear message that you are NOT potential prey.
To a carnivore, your PET may look appetizing.
"My wife and I visited your national park last September. One morning we saw some elk near the road. We stopped a safe distance away. While I made my camera with a 500 mm telephoto lens ready to take a photo of this big elk, another car appeared. The driver left his car and walked toward the elk to take a close picture. The elk seemed to become angry about this and chased him back across the road, where he hid behind his car. This was the moment when I took this picture. It shows clearly that your recommendation to stay at least 3 bus lengths from an elk really makes sense!" - submitted by Claus-Peter Ernst, Mainz, Germany
Getting too close to elk is hazardous.
Attacks have occurred at any time of the year. Females are most aggressive during the May/June calving season, and males are especially dangerous during the September/October rut.
They may sometimes appear unconcerned by our presence, but all park animals are unpredictable and potentially dangerous.
Drive with care and be prepared to avoid a collision at alltimes. Be especially cautious at dusk and dawn, when manyanimals are most active, and visibility is poor.
If you see an animal by the road:
If you wish to stop and view roadside wildlife:
If you see a bear... Consider not stopping.
If you see a bear beside the road, consider this:
It may run onto the road. At any time, anywhere. And especially if there are crowds of people stopping to watch it, getting out of their cars, approaching too closely. In the past 10 years, 125 bears have been killed on roads in the mountain national parks.
It is stronger and faster than you are. It may look 'docile', but a bear that appears unconcerned about your presence is the one you should fear the most. It's obviously not afraid of you, and it could be getting a bit bothered by all the people who keep disturbing it - all day long, day after day...
It is likely eating or looking for food. Bears have to eat almost constantly during the snow-free months to accumulate enough energy to survive their long winter hibernation. Being able to feed undisturbed may make the difference between life or death for that bear or, if it's a female, for her offspring: though she may have mated in the spring, she can't get pregnant unless she builds up enough body fat over the summer.
It could be a female. In this harsh mountain environment, it takes a female grizzly 7 years to reach breeding age, and her cubs will stay with her for 3 or 4 years. This means she may only produce two litters of offspring in her lifetime - a very low reproductive rate. The unnatural loss of any individual, especially a female, is therefore a serious threat to the long-term survival of the population.
It could be an adolescent. Trying to find its place in a difficult world, an adolescent bear is highly susceptible to picking up bad habits (like losing its natural fear of people) and getting into trouble (by approaching people for food). The fact that relatively few roadside adolescent bears survive to maturity in our busy parks is one of the reasons that scientists fear for the future of the grizzly in this part of the world.
If it loses its wildness, it probably won't survive. 'Habituated' bears - bears that have lost their natural fear of humans - almost inevitably become 'problem' bears. They actively seek out places where people congregate because they have learned that where there are people, there is also food and garbage to eat. Over time they become increasingly more aggressive in their search for an easy meal. Problem bears usually end up having to be removed or destroyed because of the threat they pose to public safety. It is very difficult, and often impossible, to undo habituation. The only real solution is prevention.
If you see a bear beside the road, consider not stopping.
If you are driving: stay in your car, and consider not stopping.
If you are not in a vehicle:
To reduce your risk of a surprise encounter:
If you surprise a bear and it defends itself:
If a bear stalks you and then attacks, or attacks at night:
DO Try "Seton watching." Find a comfortable, safe spot, and just sit quietly and observe. Watch how creatures interact with each other and their habitat. You'll be amazed at what nature will reveal!
DO See small.The big creatures get all the press, but there just aren't that many of them out there. It's more rewarding to look for the smaller ones. Interest - like beauty - is largely in the eyes of the beholder.
DO Think big.While observing the activity at an ant's nest, for example, contemplate the ant's role in the bigger picture-as a model of society, perhaps, or as an important source of food for grizzly bears.
DO Intrude less.Cherish the knowledge that there are creatures living wild and free out there, whether you see them or not. Buy a wildlife postcard and write about hearing wolves howl, or finding lynx tracks.
DO Learn more.Join a Parks Canada interpretive program, hire a guide, read one of the many books about the nature of the mountains. Indulge your curiosity!
DON'T Feed or disturb wildlife.
The chance to observe wild animals as they go about their natural lives is one of the most fascinating experiences that our mountain national parks have to offer.
Along with this opportunity, however, comes the responsibility to treat wild animals with the respect they deserve, and need to survive.
Staying ALIVE...It's not easy to 'make a living' here in the mountains. Wildlife must devote all available energy to simple survival: feeding, resting, staying warm or cool enough, avoiding natural dangers, and producing healthy offspring.
Every time we disrupt these natural activities we are, in effect, taking energy away from their survival 'bank account.' With millions of people visiting our mountain parks every year, these 'withdrawals' can quickly add up to 'dead broke.'
Staying WILD...Is there a difference between a wild bear and one in a zoo? We can only guess at what the bear might think. But from our perspective, isn't the very thing that makes wild animals so attractive to us the fact that they are indeed wild? Unfortunately, when animals become used to being around people, they are in danger of losing that very thing that makes them special, their wildness.
How can we keep park wildlife WILD and ALIVE?Parks Canada staff are trying to teach some bears to avoid busy areas by using noise-makers, flares, rubber bullets and even specially trained bear dogs. We call this aversive conditioning .
You may also see crews and signs along park roadways asking for your help in preventing animal jams , dangerous traffic jams around roadside wildlife. Please do your part; every action counts!
Biting or stinging insects may occur along trails and at backcountry campsites. Bring insect repellent. Avoid wearing scented lotions and perfumes. Rocky Mountain Wood Ticks are common during the spring and early summer. After hiking, check for ticks on your body and clothing. Tick bites can cause serious illness.
Though park waters are generally clean, there is always a chance that harmful bacteria or parasites may exist in untreated surface water. Boil and filter untreated water before using, or carry water from a treated water source.
Remember, you are responsible for your own SAFETY!

Minn Kota Maxxum Bow Mount Trolling Motor
The Minn Kota Maxxum Bow Mount Trolling Motor is built to last. The Maxxum features tournament-tested power and innovative fishing features so you can get the most out of every day on the lake.
Rough conditions or treacherous stump fields should never keep you off the water. The tournament-tested Maxxum Mount plows through any obstacle. When you stow the Maxxum, you can rest assured that our mount won't budge, flex or vibrate. The Bowguard 360 breaks away on impact from any angle, then automatically resets itself. You get uninterrupted fishing and an extra safeguard from damaging your trolling motor or boat. It also detaches for added convenience. Pound for pound, the Industrial Composite Shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. It's the only trolling motor shaft that's guaranteed for life.
A newly-designed, ultra-responsive foot pedal is easier to operate, with more room for your foot and more exact speed control.
Digital Maximizer controls and optimizes power to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You'll stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge. Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota. The extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And the unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they'll never hear you coming.
Comes with a Weedless Wedge 2 Prop.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Ordered on a Monday received by Friday. Love the free shipping and no tax. Bought this to replace
A Maxxum 70/SC only 3yrs. old, got water in motor. TW had 15% off. Mounted right up With old holes. Runs smooth and quiet. Variable speed works great can turn with foot. Worked great on my Stratos 186.
From: Rob: Wernersville, PA 7/14/15
Comments: I was torn on the reviews by buying the 80 thrust Maxxum. Since the lake I mostly fish is full of trees and stumps.. I've used the 55edge for my 12' John boat and was very impressed with its durability. But upgrading this year to a 16' John boat I wanted something bigger so I took my chances and bought the 80 Maxxum. This trolling motor is awesome!!!! I'm not really sure of the bad reviews this motor has gotten because I have hit stumps at about 60% motor speed and the 360 break away mount does what it's suppose too!! If your bending our breaking this motor then you must be going 80 to full power and with how heavy most boats are its no wonder why your bending our breaking this motor, any motor would bend doing that! I differently recommend this motor!!
From: Neal: VA 9/28/14
Comments: I have had a so-so relationship with this motor. I have the 70lb, variable speed, 42" shaft on my aluminum bass boat. Love the power. I can run most of the time on 30-40, unless the winds howling the I only need 50-60. Chops and goes through heavy weeds 1000 times better than my old Motorguide. I can fish all day for 10 hours + in the wind, weeds, current and not put a dent in my batteries, and I only run 2 smaller group 24 size deep cycles because of limited space in my boat. My only gripe, and it is due in part to operator error, is how easy the shaft on the armature is to tweak when the prop hits an obstruction. I bent on real bad last fall, had it replaced, then tweaked another this spring, and also had it replaced. Thank god I have a good TM repair man local who stocks them. Never had that issue with my MG, which I fished in the same shallow, nasty, weed choked, wood/rock filled water. I guess I just have to be a little more "carefull" with the MK.

"I love the boot as it is comfie and stylish and fits well on my thin legs. You must have skinny legs for these. However, I am not sure how suede can be waterproof. Has anyone worn it in snow and rain puddles? I would love to know how it holds up and if it is real suede how so?"

Not as described!
"If you are looking for warm but stylish boots look for some thing else. Description said that they have sheepskin lining and footbed, in reality the insole is sheepskin, but lining is leather. So they are not as warm as I expected. Be aware of this."

Heinze's a very lucky boy.
He is. Sending off would have been an interesting twist in an intriguing game. C'mon Mexico, although they might struggle now that Pardo, the main man in midfield, is off.
This may just end up like the Confed Cup. Going to penalties. Hopefully not and Mexico can just nick it here in extra time.

Phenomenally good game. Great start to the knockout phase, and a surprising performance from Mexico. Argentina were all class though, and Riquelme is the player of the tournament so far.
Not really a surprise performance from Mexico IMO. If you saw them last year you'd agree.
I thought it went pretty flat in the second half but picked up again near the end...Originally Posted by FaaipDeOiad
