It wasn't the prettiest win, but the young Oilers deserve a lot of credit for battling back from a 2-0 deficit to win their season opener 3-2 in a shoot out.
The Oilers looked like a team playing their first game of the season. They shot wide on many of the best scoring chances, and I'd attribute that to a bit of rust. They took too many penalties, but their penalty killers were solid. Overall there were way more positives than negatives.
- It is only one game, but right now there are more questions surrounding Cory Schneider than Devan Dubnyk. Dubnyk might want the Edler bomb of a shot back, but being partially screened I didn't think it was an awful goal. After that he was very solid and didn't give many second chances by kicking out juicy rebounds. Canucks fans will be livid after the weekend and they might have a full-scale goaltender controversy on their hands already. Something tells me Oiler fans love this.
- Ales Hemsky had an excellent game. He used his speed to back off defenders and created numerous scoring chances. With the top line likely to face the opposing #1 defence pairing most games, Hemsky/Gagner/Yakupov could have a big year. Hemsky is healthy for the first time in three years and if he stays healthy he could pot 35-39 points.
- If the Oilers keep taking that many penalties Krueger will have to find another duo of forwards who can kill penalties. Horcoff/Smyth and Belanger/Petrell were very good, but he'll need more than just four forwards. He did mention he plans on letting the young guys get some PK time as the season progresses.
- If you look at the overall icetime of his bench, I think Krueger did exactly what he wanted, excluding Teemu Hartikainen who only played 6:10. He wasn't on the PK or PP so it was hard for him to mix him in. Hall, Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins all played over 21 minutes. 15 of the 18 skaters had at least 21 shifts.
- Jeff Petry was very good. He continued very he left off last season, and he's shown a willingness and ability to deliver some solid body checks.
- Eric Belanger got ripped endlessly last season, so it's only fair to point out how solid he played tonight. He was good on draws, 56%; very good on the PK and the 4th line was effective five-on-five.
- Nick Schultz blocked nine shots and played his usual mistake-free game. I know many didn't like the Gilbert/Schultz trade, but Schultz is a better pure defender and that's why they made the deal. You can debate forever who is a better player straight up, but on this team he fills the defensive D-man role better than Gilbert.
- Just for fun, Jordan Eberle's shooting percentage is 20%. And he did that on five shots, which is well above his average of the past two years.
- The Oilers were 56% in faceoffs. RNH and Gagner were both 50% (7 wins, 7 losses), while Horcoff won 10 of 16 and Belanger won 9 of 16.
- I thought RNH was a bit off tonight. He missed a few passes that he usually makes in his sleep. He got better as the game went on, and I think the Oilers overall passing will be much crisper on Tuesday.
- After the Sedins the Canucks don't have many forwards who scare you. They could struggle to score goals this season.
- I liked Krueger's strategy late in the game. In the final few minutes he used Petrell in Yakupov's spot. Some might say he was coaching not to lose, but I don't blame him for wanting to get a point. He clearly coached to win by starting OT with Eberle/RNH, then going with Yakupov/Hall and back to RNH/Eberle before going to Hemsky/Gagner. I don't call that coaching not to lose. Yakupov is a rookie and Krueger wants to put him in positions to succeed. As Yakupov gets more comfortable I'm sure you will see Krueger give him more responsibility, but there is no point in doing it in the first game of the season.
- That was a big win for the Oilers, and overall I thought they played pretty well.
- GDB 01: The wait is over.
- Will the Oilers make the playoffs?
- Oilers make cuts.
- Three in fifty is good.
- Day two of camp.
- Medicals and more.
- Still waiting on a schedule.
- Krueger: We will play with a high pace.

The first fail of the new hockey season... Add more than a four letter word... Edited by Gregor.
Hemsky was a beast out there. Talk about not going gently into that good night.
Good to see an actual top 6.
Dubnyk looked pretty good. So did Luongo.
Also, Eberle is the king of Jordan.
More hockey please.
January 21 2013, 12:33AM
I was at the game tonight: Yak looked good in flashes, but you can tell it'll take a few games for him to feel his way in, the second line look good and Gagner had a very solid game. RNH taking own zones draws against the Sedins - like the call by Krueger. Eager taking Kassian out for 5 was a key play & 55 had a decent game. Only real -ve was Potter and Whitney looked like the weak link
Loved the game, the calls, the coaching. Putting Hemsky in the shoot out shows Kreuger's mark on this team, he had a good game and he left his mark, confidence for him in a situation where we all questioned what would happen to him. Very good game, i think the oilers beginning the season 3-0 is going to happen #called it
First, watching that was A LOT of fun! I was actually nervous. The CBA meetings did not elicit these types of feelings.
Second, I thought we played very well. There was definitely some rustiness/nerves - noticeably from RNH, Hall, Gagner, and Yakupov - but I really liked the "battle" the team showed. They were behind most of the game, but did not show much panic; I think Dubnyk deserves a lot of credit for that.
Random thoughts:
- Nice to see Hemsky with a "Don't forget about me!" performance on the 1st night. It's crazy how Oilers fans forget that he was the only draw on those terrible 2007-2010 teams.
- I want to see Fistric in Potter's place. Unfortunately for Potter, he's a bit mediocre 5 on 5, doesn't kill penalties, and is good on the PP (but behind Whitney and J.Schultz on the PP depth chart).
- Petry and Smid looked solid
- Schultz x2 looked solid
- Dubnyk looked solid
A lot of the guys who got flak last year ie. Horcoff Belanger Eager I think played really well , seems like Eager played how the Oilers expected him to play last year, I think that concussion in training camp last year screwed up his whole season.
I'm by no means a potter cheering section, but i thought he was solid on the PK. Yes PK!
Found the warmup interesting, the OKC kids had some blueline saucer pass magic going on, while Yak looked like he wanted no part of it. Yak > warmup.
The players that just "looked good" (with thick beer glasses applied, and excluding the obvious *cougheberle*cough*), I have to point to jschultz and duby. Both just oozed confidence throughout (despite mistakes).
Eberle's goal was sicker than H1N1.
Considering Nuge basically played 4 games in the last month, it makes sense that he wasn't quite "on" tonight. The kids should get back into the swing of things quickly. I hope.
January 21 2013, 01:30AM
Hey Jason, do whatever you have to do to change that April 7 score - I have been staring at it for almost 10 months and I want it updated. Pronto!
One of the big questions for me this year was, can Petry continue to develop after an already stellar year? After tonight, I have no doubt in my mind Petry is going to be a great defenseman.
I was also happy to see how well our third and fourth lines played. I really liked the Eager fight because right now Vancouver doesn't have a second line, and taking the current rent a players off it for five minutes is a great way to make the first and third lines skate their bag off.
Also, the Dubnyk we got tonight is the one I can only hope for every night. Guy was just calm and solid.
By no means the greatest Oiler game, but coming back against the Canucks for a win is something I don't think this team could have done last year.
January 21 2013, 01:48AM
Unlike last year's first game victory, the oil out-played the opposition last night. They were physically superior for much of the game. If the canucks don't find some secondary offence soon, they may find themselves in too deep a hole to dig out of in the short season. Wouldn't that be a shame?
Schultz jr. impressed with the puck, made good decisions and generally looked like a young Zubov.
January 21 2013, 01:58AM
Dubs was good. One could put some blame on him for the first goal, but Gagner owns him one for the second goal.
Yakupov will need a couple of games to get comfortable. I have a feeling Hemmer and Nail will be one of the most dangerous second lines this short season.
Krueger should put Eager on the third with Horcoff and Smyth, and Harti with Belanger and Petrell. Horcoff and Smyth could be lined up against other teams better lines and in that Eager would have higher calibre players to hit.
I didn't understand why one of Hall's shifts in the OT was wasted by putting Smyth out with him.?
Smid and Petry were solid. Potter needs to sit.
P.S. If Hemmer ain't worth 2 at 5-how the #@$% is Joffrey worth 5 at 5.25?
January 21 2013, 04:53AM
Wow it's great to see a real NHL game after all this time. I have to admit being angry prior to but once game day came I was back on board....(shame on me lol).
Anyways, I was very happy with the resilience of the boys tonight. They kept pluggin away and the results ended up being awesome.
Dubnyk played a very good game and the first goal against him was not all his fault either. Being screened (by Potter) will happen during the year. Younster Schultz had a very good debut. PK was superb and both Hemsky and Eberle were top notch (honorable mention to Horcoff, Gagner and Petry) Loved that hit by Petry on Weiss...perfect. The team played a very good game but can be better as there was some rust and maybe some nerves from some...Yakupov. I did enoy the gtame very much but will end this by saying I hope to see more hits next game, especially with by having Fistric play instead of Potter. Oh yeah, Congrats to Ralph Krueger on first head coach win in NHL!!!!! GO OILERS!!!!!
January 21 2013, 07:07AM
Great to watch some hockey again and am happy to have Centre Ice being in Ontario (although it was a Canucks feed).
Just some thoughts:
- I thought Gagner had a great game showing some speed and some willingness to take the man. Don't need to drive the guy thru the wall, just remove him from the play.
- Nice to have a dangerous secondary scoring line for the first time in awhile. A little rusty but that 2nd line showed glimpses of good chemistry.
- 4th line had some effective shifts and I liked Eager and Belanger's efforts.
- Finally, I didn't mind Potter's game but if he is going to be the 4th or 5th puck moving Dman, Fistric is the better option.
January 21 2013, 07:14AM
Hemmer, Gagner and Eager looked motivated last night and I like how Krueger went with who he thought was "in the zone" for the shoot out. My gut reaction for the three in shoot out would have been Eberle, Yakupov and Hemsky but it worked out fine. Definitely played like a more cohesive unit except for the second goal but arrows are going the right way.
January 21 2013, 07:21AM
In OT Kruger had Horcoff taking a defensive-zone draw with Taylor Hall on his wing, and when they successfully cleared the zone Yakupov was substituted for Horcoff.
Great coaching by Kruger to gain possession and then put his weapons out there 4 x 4.
@Eastern Oil
By the way, there was a button at the bottom to switch between the Vancouver and Edmonton feeds.
Anyways, what impressed me most is that, to a man, the oilers played to their potential. This combined with their elevated potential made the experience of watching the team, dare I say it, ENJOYABLE after years in the wilderness!
January 21 2013, 07:29AM
Both sides seemed really rusty except for eberle, he looked dangerous all game. Dubnyk actually probably stole that game for the oil. Vancouver had a lot of grade A chances and Dubnyk made the stops when it counted.
January 21 2013, 07:46AM
Potter was on the ice for both goals, and Hemsky scored the game tying and shootout clinching goals.
My Goat / Star picks are looking about right so far. Frigging Potter.
January 21 2013, 07:52AM
O M G...Jason
"...It wasn't the prettiest win, but..."
After April 7th 2011 we at OilersNation have witnessed, discussed, argued, been trolled magnificently,thrown mudballs at each other, collaborated, whined, pi$$ed on each other, said goodbye, begged for forgiveness...some of us have gotten drunk, been stoned, fired and hired, laid off and moved, allowed to weigh in and shown the way out...anguish and anger have taken over at times with billionaires and millionaires all dropped from Christmas card lists everywhere and you want PRETTY?
...this first game of a stupid a$$ short season was the start of what most of us have dreamed of for a long long time ... it was against the Canucks who's a team fans of every other team in the civilized world loves to hate...and you want PRETTY?
Oh the humanity Jason...! it's a WIN...It's a Dubya...plus points...we're ahead of that club now for a while...we're undefeated in January as someone has noted...your take on this momentous victory last night compared to the yet uninstalled posting of last Aprils' defeat to the same club is almost as dumbfounding as...OK I won't go there but again Jason...
you want PRETTY?
...I thought THE worst part of this game was watching our latest first overall pick play 16 plus minutes go MINUS TWO and only get one shot on goal ...that my trusted mainstream media correspondant, blogger extrordinaire and esteemed Edmonton personality who does more for charity than most wasn't the prettiest...but
Ben Eager prolly would have done better if he had a bar stool
Petry's progression has been a god send. His play in the last 20 games of last season and in last nights game has really become complete.
Finally a top pairing that can do it all with Smid developing a little offense.
I was hoping Whitney could return to form however it doesn't seem to be the case. I think he can still be an effect player as PP specialist and 5-6 guy.
January 21 2013, 08:17AM
Hemsky looks healthy, hopefully the 14 goals and 18 assists in 27 games (Czech League) can translate into great success in the NHL (point a game). Hemsky's dangle in the shoot out was incredible.
Ebs backhand was insane, I particularly loved the look on Loungo's face afterwards.
Nice to talk about the highlights of last nights contest and not about Bettman and Fehr.
January 21 2013, 08:29AM
Picture the scene:
DSF sitting in his mother's basement sputtering Cheetos and Dr. Pepper all over his keyboard...
His left eye twitches, a soft moan of "But, but, but... the depth" escapes his lips. His world is slowly slipping away from him, the walls are closing in, this surely has to be the end! Doesn't it?
He grasps madly at the pile of paper heaped all over his desk; each paper covered in a mad scribble of thoughts, statistics and advanced calculations... His life's work! All the effort he has expended in becoming the single greatest hockey analyst known to man.
Quickly he finds a prediction written several weeks ago, he holds it up to light, his eyes grow wide! This is obviously the gem his life has led to the crafting of; all the others were mere musings, surely no-one would hold him to those. They would understand that he was just posting idle thoughts, they would see this was the one true thought!
Chuckling madly he shoves everything else off his desk, sits back and relaxes. Everything will soon be right with the world, all he has to do is remind the internet that this was his real truth!
January 21 2013, 08:31AM
As much as I dogged Belanger last year he really impressed last night. That was the type of play I expected from him when he signed. Way to go and keep it up, Eric!
To me, Eberle is near the very best in the NHL and he keeps proving it; that goal last night was SO clutch!
Hemsky looked great and he I think is going to enjoy NOT being the marque guy now, with the Oilers having too many awesome forwards to cover him exclusively, he showed what he can do. Might help him to stay healthy longer...
Gagner has been looking great since training camp. He continues to look like a man possessed, poised to raise his career to much greater heights.
Loved Dubnyk's calm, collected play last night.
Loved watching Calgary's game against the Sharks last night, too - what a great hockey night! ;)
Great game. I don't even mind the calls the Oilers took. It does tick me off when calls going the other way seem to require a more blatant of an offense though. The Canucks always seem to get away with interference that the Oilers get called for.
The first fail of the new hockey season... Add more than a four letter word... Edited by Gregor.
Great win, previous posts have covered the most valid points.
I will say that the rust was very obvious at the beginning but almost gone by the end. I don't think Ebs was overly impressive until he turned the building onto it's head with that roofy. Then he was on fire.
RNH - never got going, but will. Yak, J. Schultz - good starts boys.
All 4 lines ultimately effective. As Jason pointed out, further proof of the rust were the wide shots on goal. If a couple of those are corners and not backboards, game over much earlier. HALLSY's cross-crease feed from Ebs on earlier PP would have changed the dynamic of the game had he buried it.
And lastly, if you include the shootout goals, we scored on LOOO on glove side, from the right, from the left, the five hole.....basically everywhere.....how's that for messing with his head? Have fun with that Vigneault.
Not to mention the high stick to the face Petry took about 10 mins left that the ref watched awkwardly from about 15 ft away before letting play carry on. That was BS.
The NHL players and owners can all go straight to hell. And I'm not spending a single dime on merchandise. And I'm not wasting one more minute of my life watching these overpaid bums. And I'm not supporting any of the advertisers.
And . . .
and . . .
and . . .
What time is the game tomorrow?
January 21 2013, 09:04AM
Where's all the Hemsky haters today?
Fun game to watch. Thought the boys played well, though as mentioned there was some rust.
Here's to Ebs giving Horcoff some free shooting lessons. He had a couple of Grade A opportunities in close, but just put the puck right off Lou's crest. I'm not a Horcoff-basher, I actually like his game, but man he has rocks for hands when he's in close. Get some pointers from the young guys Shawn quick!!
My brother was at the game, and said there were a couple of "Let's go Oilers" chants. That warmed my heart on a cold January night!
Nick Schultz.. love him. I loved that we traded Gilbert for him, even though Gilbert was finally starting to show the improvements in areas that I always disliked about his game. I'll take Nick Schultz SOLID defensive game over Gilbert's transition game any day though.
Good to see some props for this guy.
January 21 2013, 09:16AM
In OT Kruger had Horcoff taking a defensive-zone draw with Taylor Hall on his wing, and when they successfully cleared the zone Yakupov was substituted for Horcoff.
Great coaching by Kruger to gain possession and then put his weapons out there 4 x 4.
All right lots of stuff to cover. First off you are perfecty right JC. Saying that Kruger wasted a shift in OT by having Hall and Smyth on a line is complete BS. In order to score you need puck possession and Smyth and Horcoff do that very nicely.
First goal - I think this is mostly Potters fault, if your going to screen your goaltender you need to take that player out before he has a chance to fire the puck. Potter was by far the worst player on the ice from my perspective. He should not be paired with Whitney. Whitney is not a defensive specialist, he is more of an offensive guy and is best at playing the puck up the ice. If he is playing his game he can't cover all the mistakes that Potter makes and this my friends is where Fistric should shine.
Second Goal - To many's surprise this was not a Potter or Gagner mistake. This one was all on Whitney. Yakupov was clearly in pursuit of the puck carrier and yet Whitney for some reason was following the Yak when he should have returned to the front of the net to maintian position.
Gagner didn't have a great game but wasn't bad either. Hemsky I think is going to have a good season, finally has some good players around him, he's healthy, and the entire weight of the team isn't on his shoulders. Dubnyk was great. Schultz was very impressive, he looked like a Vet out there. His timing and when to jump into plays was amazing and that kid can skate. The Yak had a good game, the team really started to settle in after the first period, but Yak was relentless going after the puck carrier. He is going to be a nightmare for a lot of players I'm telling ya.
Also PP defenseman depth. Sorry but Potter isn't even third on my list. J. Schults, Whitney, Petry, Potter. That's the way I see it.
I'll just touch on one last thing. Kruger clearly has a specific game plan and doesn't hesitate to execute it. To say the least I was surprised by the shootout selections. But what became clear is that through the Goalie reviews provided to the coach he has these guys picked out before the games even start and already knows what moves he wants them to try. I think this guy would have made an amazing military strategist.
Even this was a good start and a great road win, there still is a question of how good our defensive core is. Vancouver is a very soft team with no second line. Our defense had the luxary last night of playing a Vancouver team with two third lines. Not a very big defensive test. Also, with exception of Kassian and few other Vancouver forwards, Vancouver really has no fowards that will punish you physically. Seeing the Oilers play a bigger team like San Jose for example will really show how good our defense is.
What the hell happened to Petry in the off season? He looks like he bulked up a little bit and was a hitting machine last night. I don't think I have ever seen him play so physical. LOVED IT!. Was the first game and everyone but Hemsky, Gagner and Eberle looked a bit rusty. I did think that Belanger, Eager looked pretty decent too. If this is where we are starting this year....I am pumped about the potential.

January 21 2013, 09:37AM
Great to see guys like Hemsky and Eager step up their game and play a team game.
I think that for too many years Hemsky was paired with rock hands Horcoff and the results showed. With a centerman that can actually make a play, Hemsky may just have a decent year.
Yakapov will be fine after about five games.......the kid looked and played nervous all game long. When he decides to calm down and pick his spots better, look out!
Justin Shultz looked fine, but I suspect he will need to gain at least 10 to 20 lbs before he can work his own end properly and with some authority. At some time he will not be able to elude or spin off a big check........I hope that he does not get squashed. Jeff Petry will be our dominant defenseman for year to come.
Good to finally watch a game.
January 21 2013, 09:39AM
I definitely agree that "coaching not to lose" is big change from Rennie last year.
Most thoughts repeated ad nauseum above. It's a little early to celebrate BUT it was great to watch. I didn't get why Fistric sat and Potter played... Anyone hear????
January 21 2013, 09:43AM
Great game!
not in terms of execution, but in terms of finally getting to watch the Oil, and getting to watch them win and fight back.
Hemsky was amazing.
That line got exposed badly by the Kassian goal by staring at the puck. Looked to me like the blame lies primarily with 89 and 6 who let Kassian wander into the slot without taking note.
Yak and Hemsky both played the goal right. Yak pressured the puck, it was his man, Hemsky backed off into the neutral zone to not crowd the puck and be ready to break out of the zone.
On the first goal, Hemsky was already off the ice. Not sure why he got a minus. 44 seems to have screened the shot, but didn't play it terribly. Looks like that one was mostly on Dubs.
Completely agree on lack of crispness on the shots: 10, 19 and 93 all had beauty chances that could have been improved by better shot selection.
Also... I think people are getting ahead of themselves on the nucks. They are still way better than most teams in the league and when Kessler and Booth come back, they will be even better. Still, I'm sure they'd love to get something out of Raymond and Burrows.
I can't believe I have to wait till tuesday to watch another game...
*pulls out knitting needles*
Hemsky still looks like our best forward, and may still see the stiffer competition if he keeps it up. Opposition coaches worst nightmare, two rolling scoring lines.
Eager.. Welcome back
Belanger.. Please continue to enhance your trade value
The PP1 unit needs to calm down and position themselves better. Hall should be down off the left post.. Always. And Horcoff is useful but let the burnout begin? I'd force RNH to take those faceoffs, they need to win these battles themselves. Teemu would be far better infront as if he gets hurt.. We won't lose much. Horcoff gets hurt, we get Belanger covering his duties.. Yikes.
Dubs is solid, playing to his strengths.. Huge. Reminds me alil of Ranford with a few of his poises, but he'll never have that glove hand like Billy's.
January 21 2013, 09:50AM
Most thoughts repeated ad nauseum above. It's a little early to celebrate BUT it was great to watch. I didn't get why Fistric sat and Potter played... Anyone hear????
There's a lot of speculation... but a couple of reasonable stabs might be:
1) Potter was playing in Europe and Fistric hasn't been playing anywhere... as we've seen a lot of the players (look at VANs last 2 games) who haven't been playing are a little rusty.
maybe K trusted the game-ready player?
2) K is planning on platooning Potter and Fistric and will swap them depending on the game situation.
VAN is a lot of things, but they aren't a "tough" team. They are irritating and cheap, but not tough. Hence no Fistric and no Hordi.
maybe K was playing to the game situation?
January 21 2013, 10:05AM
Very optimistic after this first game, Coach K used the young guns more this year than Renney did for two years.
Yak and Hall in OT ! what whoa creativity - no way!
Guessing Hartikanen lost minutes when the 4th line was removed for the final five minutes due to Eager's fight with Kassian, bumping Belanger up to the third line - otherwise he gets more minutes.
I just hope in the transition into this short season that Ryan Smyth is removed from the PK and Eberle (or Hall) is inserted.
Smyth does just fine as a third line and occasional PK PP. We need at least one of the young guns to start killing penalties. Teams that win Cups have their stars killing penalties especially when you are losing..need that threat of the shorty
The present tandems of Belanger/Petrell and Horcoff/Smyth are fine if you are winning or tied but if you are losing Oilers going to need more snipers on the pk.
January 21 2013, 10:12AM
On Harti... I agree about the 3rd.. he was pulled for more senior players...
but I think he lost most of his minutes because the Oilers couldn't stay out of the box... Harti isn't on special teams... yet.
January 21 2013, 10:19AM
On Harti... I agree about the 3rd.. he was pulled for more senior players...
but I think he lost most of his minutes because the Oilers couldn't stay out of the box... Harti isn't on special teams... yet.
I also think that Harti will be used less in games with teams that are more skilled. When playing with bigger more physical teams I think he will end up on the PP and shifts in the top 6. This also allows Kruger to conserve him a bit for such a tight season.
January 21 2013, 10:30AM
I know I'm late to the party but I thought that was a great win. Incredibly small sample but it looks like a totally different team than last year. We didn't fold faster than Superman on laundry day when going down a couple of goals. Everyone forechecked and actually fought for the puck. The kids looked dangerous all night. The third line played great. Plus we beat Vancouver which since I live in Victoria is the greatest of all accomplishments.
Great game by the Oilers. It was only the first game so I'm not ready to put my chair down along the parade route but coming back from being 2-0 down in a hostile environment was usually a given the game was over. So the fact that they were able to came back makes it all that much better.
One thing I want to see is Cory Potter in the press box. I really don't care if the Canucks weren't an overly physical line up. They traded for Fistric because they lack defencemen like him. The big, strong, physical Dman that can clear the front of the net, play tough and most importantly, get some of the opposition players looking around a bit wondering where he is on the ice. Potter does NOTHING of what I described. They have 3 puck moving Dmen already - 1 per pair. Schultz, Petry, Whitney. They can do without Potter and his average puck moving skills. He isn't the greatest defender. He isn't physical at all, he isn't a great penalty killer. He isn't EVER going to be ahead of Schultz or Whitney on the PP units. So what exactly is his purpose?
When Kassian layed a clean, decent hit on Hall. Yes, it was great that Eager went after him. That's his job and I am very glad to see him do that. BUT, what Eager did was expected and it doesn't really do anything. A bigger, much better response would of been having a guy like Fistric - who is known for being able to do this very well- lay a hard hit on one of the Canucks better players. That carries a lot more weight than Eager doing the expected, obvious response.
It's only 1 game so I'm not going to freak out yet. I am hoping they kept him out for what Kruger mentioned was because he has only been there a short period of time. I am expecting Fistric will be in the line up on Tuesday playing a bigger team like the Sharks. Plus he is an Edmonton boy, so I would hope like hell Kruger dresses him.

During the July public lands meeting, Craig Johansen reported that Joe's Valley is currently at 45,000 acre feet of stored water. The projected use will be 21,000 acre feet leaving 24,000 acre feet at the end of the season. It is estimated that 3-4,000 acre feet will be lost to evaporation over the summer. These figures are close to those of the 2002 season.
Johansen also reported that all of the springs on the south end of Trail Mountain are dry, but the springs on the north end are continuing to flow. "Things have changed" he said, "we have seeps now where there were no seeps before and the usual ones are drying up."
Utah Power and Light has made public the investigative report concerning Electric Lake. The Division of Oil, Gas and Mining requested the investigation. Johansen mentioned that there are several copies in the county at present and that Ray Petersen has received one if anyone is interested in reading the report.
The forest service is still taking input concerning wild and scenic rivers and Johansen stated that he is not optimistic about any of the rivers in Emery County coming off the list. He also stated that Utah is number one now and has surpassed Nevada as the driest state in the nation.
Dennis Worwood has requested information from Sanpete County concerning heritage area designation as suggested by Senator Bob Bennett.
Petersen said the Bureau of Land Management has come out with the Price River basin inventory of routes that are contained in the road management plan. The information is available at pricermp.com. He also requested permission to form a subcommittee to work with that issue.
Dickson Huntington led the discussion of grazing issues. He reported that the forest service is helping the grazers and that they are willing to try what is necessary to accommodate. Also, a trained person may need to go into the allotments after grazers have moved out to do independent transects.

Needs more cowbell!
• Keep doing stuff.
Abs of Flabs
Roads were made for journeys...
Ahhh...look how beautiful you are--even after running a marathon and with an orange wedge shoved in your mouth! You did good! I'm so proud of you!
And you say you're a mom?! You don't look like you've carried any babies--your bod looks amazing...I hope I can someday get mine looking even half that fit (I'll never be that tanned, I've accepted that, LOL)!
BTW, I love your visor--I have it in pink and it really works well to keep the sun and sweat out of my eyes.
Great report, great race! And well done on coming in below your predicted time. You should be very pleased with your efforts. As for Boston--it's not a question of "if", only a question of "when". Very few runners BQ in their first marathon, and for you to come so near is quite impressive.
Again--loved the report, and congrats!
(So--what's your next race?)
and yes, I've had 4 children...BOYS!!! ANd I'm still nursing my 3 yo. How's that for TMI?

Round 12 of Super Rugby serves up an interesting duel between two desperate sides out to avoid the ignominy of finishing last.
Round 12 of Super Rugby serves up an interesting duel between two desperate sides out to avoid the ignominy of finishing last.
The faded Blues take on the toothless Lions in Auckland, with the winner here set to increase their chances of avoiding this season's wooden spoon.
The Lions have finished last in 1998, 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2010, whilst the Blues have never ended bottom of the standings in their history of Super Rugby.
We then cross the Tasman to Sydney where the Waratahs face a do-or-die clash with the Bulls. Another loss for the home side – who haven't beaten the Bulls since 2005 – will spell the end of their play-off hopes.
Blues v Lions
Eden Park Stadium, Auckland
The tournament's two bottom-placed teams go head to head at Auckland's Eden Park for what may be the battle of the wooden spoon.
Blues coach Pat Lam must be at his wit's end as he tries to get his team back on the victory trail. The Aucklanders are bringing up the rear of the table with a paltry 12 points from 10 matches while the Lions are in 14th position with 14 points from nine games.
Both teams have managed just one victory apiece during the entire competition.
The Lions' sole triumph came in the opening round of the tournament when they edged the Cheetahs 30-27 in Johannesburg, while the Blues' solitary win came in Round Three against the Bulls in Pretoria.
Lam said this weekend's match is 'quite a desperate game' for both sides and despite talk of him losing his job at the end of the season, the former Samoa loose forward is focussed on getting that much-needed win under his belt.
Despite losing several key players to injury for this crucial match, Lam remains upbeat and believes his charges can still claim a second win of their torrid campaign.
"It's obviously a big game for us and what we need to do to get the win is having clarity for all the individuals concerned," he said.
It can be argued that Lions coach John Mitchell is much more desperate than Lam as the struggling felines have much more to lose if they don't start winning matches soon.
If they finish as South Africa's bottom-placed team in the standings, the Lions will not feature in next year's tournament as the South African Rugby Union (SARU) have already promised the Southern Kings that they will be the country's fifth Super Rugby franchise in 2013.
Mitchell's charges showed in their defeat to the table-topping Chiefs in Pukekohe last week that they are no pushovers and were competitive for large portions of that match.
Their captain and number eight Josh Strauss was immense against the Chiefs and if he gets some momentum he could prove a handful for the Blues' defence.
Prediction: A high-scoring affair is expected between two teams who are amongst the tournament's worst defensive side's in this year's competition.It's really difficult to call a winner in this clash but home advantage could swing in it for the Blues. It will be close… Blues by three!
The teams:
Blues: 15 Hadleigh Parkes, 14 David Raikuna, 13 Ma'a Nonu, 12 Michael Hobbs, 11 Benson Stanley, 10 Gareth Anscombe, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Luke Braid (c), 5 Ali Williams, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Tom McCartney, 1 Tevita Mailau.
Replacements: 16 James Parsons, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Filo Paulo, 19 Steven Luatua, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Lachie Munro, 22 Sherwin Stowers.
Lions: 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Deon Van Rensburg, 13 Lionel Mapoe, 12 Jaco Taute, 11 Michael Killian, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Joshua Strauss (c), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Franco Van der Merwe, 3 Patric Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 CJ Van der Linde, 18 Cobus Grobbelaar, 19 Jaco Kriel, 20 Tian Meyer, 21 Ruan Combrinck, 22 James Kamana.
Referee: Angus Gardner (Australia)
Waratahs v Bulls
Allianz Stadium, Sydney
Both these teams will be highly motivated to be victorious in this match after they gave indifferent performances in last weekend's encounters.
The Waratahs went down 23-6 to the Brumbies in Canberra, while the Bulls were given a scare in their clash with the Rebels before eventually winning 41-35.
For the hosts, this has been a topsy-turvy campaign and their record of four wins and six defeats will not impress their ardent supporters.
Michael Foley's troops struggled to assert themselves against the Brumbies and he showed his dissatisfaction with that performance by making seven personnel and three positional changes to his starting XV.
The Bulls win over the Rebels elevated them to top spot on the South African conference, but coach Frans Ludeke will be far from happy with his side's showing last weekend.
As usual, they will rely on their huge set of forwards to give them momentum up front, before their Springbok half-backs (Steyn and Hougaard) will try to dictate proceedings from the back.
The visitors do possess dangerous outside backs and Bjorn Basson in particular is someone who the Waratahs will have to keep a close eye on if they want to win this clash. The Springbok wing is amongst the tournament's leading try-scorers and one of the best finishers in the game.
Prediction The Waratahs have been unpredictable throughout their campaign and if they can match the Bulls in the tight exchanges they should be successful. This, however, is easier said than done and the boys from Pretoria will be keen to improve on their performance against the Rebels. It will be an intruging battle but the Bulls should take this….by seven points.
The teams:
Waratahs: 15 Daniel Halangahu, 14 Tom Kingston, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 11 Atieli Pakalani, 10 Berrick Barnes, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Rocky Elsom (c), 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 John Mann-Rea, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Sitaleki Timani, 19 Lopeti Timani, 20 Dave Dennis, 21 Brendan McKibbin, 22 Tom Carter.
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 CJ Stander, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Juandré Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dawie Steyn.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Rayno Gerber, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 JJ Engelbrecht.

The Little Rock Marathon took place on March 2nd. We had a runner, Adam Nickel, collapse after finishing the race in 3:02:26. He was not known to have any medical problems. He finished 18th overall in the marathon.
Autopsy results from the Arkansas Crime Lab, released Monday, indicate that Nickel had a vascular disease known as "multifocal small coronary artery fibromuscular dysplasia," which means he had small heart arteries that restricted the flow of blood. The small arteries were near a critical part of the heart that regulates electrical impulses.
That, combined with abnormal electrolyte percentage levels that many distance runners experience, including raised potassium percentage levels, led to a significant heart arrhythmia that proved fatal.
Dr. Charles Kokes, the crime lab's chief medical examiner, said an electrocardiogram could have detected Nickel's condition, but a physical alone would not.
Many runners might have Nickel's condition, not know it and still feel fine, Kokes said. In Nickel's case, the fact that the affected arteries were so near nodes in the heart that control electrical impulses led to the fatal event.

Josh Binstock and Richard Van Huizen, both of Toronto and seeded 21st in qualifying, defeated fifth-seeds Kevin Cès and Andy Ces of France 21-19, 32-30 in 54 minutes to earn one of eight spots for the main draw which starts on Wednesday.

Air Transportation
Oral Questions
11 a.m.
Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport is flip-flopping on the Neuville airport file. A few months ago, he said that it was a matter of provincial jurisdiction and that the federal government had nothing to do with it. Last week, he changed his tune. Four ministers in the Quebec National Assembly sent him a letter to express their concerns regarding the project, and the Minister of Transport told us that it is in fact a matter of exclusively federal jurisdiction. There is a flagrant lack of consistency here.
If he really takes this project seriously, why is he ignoring Quebec's concerns and refusing to consult the municipality and the people who oppose the plans for this airport?
Air Transportation
Oral Questions
11 a.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I think the complexity of this issue is completely beyond the member's grasp. It is a very serious issue, and Supreme Court rulings have defined the jurisdictions and the approach in this area. No one is talking about an agreement signed between the municipality of Neuville and the developer. It was signed by mutual agreement. I was not the one who signed it. We have a protocol signed by the mayor and the developers. How does she explain the fact that no one is saying that?
Oral Questions
11:05 a.m.
Louis Plamondon Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC
Mr. Speaker, first we had Davos, where the Prime Minister thought it was a good idea to reveal his government's priorities to our international partners before informing us here in the House or telling Canadians. Now, this past weekend, certain ministers treated some Conservative supporters to excerpts from the federal budget, which is not supposed to be presented until March 29. Such privileged information could be considered an unfair advantage, similar to insider trading.
Will it take an RCMP investigation, like the one conducted in 2005 on the leaks regarding the income trust policy, for the Conservatives to respect all voters and protect this privileged information?
Oral Questions
11:05 a.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, I will assure the hon. member that no such thing has happened. We are in the process of working on the budget.
My hon. colleague from the NDP very inappropriately pointed out that the Minister of Finance is not here with us today. I would ask him to stand in his place and apologize because we actually know what the finance minister is doing.
Oral Questions
11:05 a.m.
Dany Morin Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a point of order. In the past few days, I have been accused twice by Conservative members of filibustering at the Standing Committee on Health, last Thursday in particular. That is not true. It is not my fault if the chair of the Standing Committee on Health did a bad job of planning the 11 minutes provided for discussing the motion on—
Oral Questions
11:05 a.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
Order, please. This is not a point of order, but rather a matter of debate. If the member has something else to add, he may do so during the next question period.
The hon. member for Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup on a point of order.
Oral Questions
11:05 a.m.
François Lapointe Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, on a number of occasions the Minister of Transport has taken the liberty of stating that my colleague from Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier is incapable of understanding an issue. Based on the number of evasive answers from those opposite, which might reflect an inability to understand an issue, we would—

This agreement would allow us to capitalize on a population of 500 million, a third of the world's GDP. This would be the most comprehensive free trade agreement, if passed, in both of our respective jurisdictions. It is much more comprehensive than NAFTA. A witness told committee that this agreement would add $1,000 per year to the average Canadian household.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from people from western Manitoba.

Therefore, they call upon the House of Commons and Parliament to assemble and speedily enact legislation that restricts abortion to the greatest extent possible.

Targeting web searchers with product images boosts sales for its e-commerce site, E5.ru.
Paul Demery
When retail supermarket company X5 Retail Group N.V. launched the E5.ru e-commerce site in Russia early last year to sell non-food general merchandise, it used multiple forms of online marketing to attract thousands of new customers per day. But after many of the early visitors left without making a purchase, the retailer started winning customers by showing them images of products before they arrived at E5.ru, says Georgiy Levin, head of advertising and marketing communications. For visitors who left E5-ru without completing a purchase, it showed them images based on products they had considered buying.
X5 developed its new targeting application last year with myThings, a Tel Aviv, Israel-based company that recently opened offices in the United States (Scottsdale, AZ), Brazil and Japan.
MyThings works with retailers like X5 to host images and descriptions of their products, then serves the images up in banner ads placed on web sites via online advertising networks. It displays ads showing images of particular products based on a consumer's shopping intent, such as when she looks at an image of a particular type of coffee maker—say, a 10-cup electronic automatic drip coffee machine—on a comparison shopping site in an ad network and reads product reviews about it. When X5 bids to place that type of coffee maker in a myThings targeting ad, myThings' software will display an X5 ad with an image of a product either exactly the same or similar to what the shopper had viewed. Clicking that ad brings the shopper to E5.ru.
MyThings charges for its ads only when the shopper makes a purchase, which on average works out to between $10 and $60 per acquired customer, says Michael Swope, myThings managing director for the U.S. market, who is based in Scottsdale, AZ. MyThings also provides creative services, including ad copywriting and placing product images into banner ads, but charges no other fees, he adds.
MyThings also displays ads, or retargeting ads, with product images on advertising network sites after a shopper has abandoned a client's web site without completing a purchase. "MyThings brings these prospects back via a personalized display advertising solution, significantly decreasing our cost per order," Levin says.
With the "pretargeted" product image ads shown before a customer first arrives on E5.ru, ads which X5 first deployed in December, the retailer has both lowered its cost of acquiring customers in Russia and increased its new-customer retention rate, he adds. Levin notes that myThings' ads may cost more per individual order than other forms of marketing, but that new customers brought in through the program buy more products. "It offers a very good cost per client," Levin says.
MyThings says it personalizes more than 3 billion ad impressions per month and operates in 16 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Brazil and Japan as well as Russia and the U.S. It works with more than 600 retailers worldwide, including more than 100 in the U.S., Swope says.

Mississippi State plans to unveil its new-look 2012 football uniforms today, the first major reworking of the Bulldogs' standard look since Dan Mullen became head coach in 2009.
The uniforms will be unveiled today on the school's website, HailState.com, as well as through social media.
A few eagle-eyed fans may have spotted images of the new
Addidas jerseys this week on ESPNU, in a broadcast about the making of the NCAA Football '13 video game. An MSU spokesman said the school was aware that the new unis might be seen in passing during that broadcast.
In addition to home and road looks, there will be an all white alternate uniform especially for the Nov. 3 home game against Texas A&M – a rematch of the "Snow Bowl" game in the 2000 Independence Bowl, a 43-41 Bulldogs victory.

cute platform
"Versatile black and white platform; cute, reasonably comfortable. I chose these because I always purchase black and I don't like all white shoes so these fit the bill. I am tired of the look of cork so thought these would make a nice change and they do however, the faux wood platform looks cheap. But hey, the shoe is leather and they were inexpensive and I will enjoy them well in to fall here in San Diego."

A little disappointed
"I am almost always a size 6.5. I can sometimes fit into size 6 but never a 7. I ordered these in 6.5 and they were very long, too long to wear. I was surprised. Also, the lighter straps have some slight discoloration along each side that looks like the color of the pink straps. I couldnt figure out how this could have happened since the straps dont touch. Im not sure if its supposed to be like that. Besides the discoloration (that Im sure no one would see once they are on your feet), they are cute shoes. But I will be returning them."

: Test the water in the septic tank for ph. If its higher than 8 its too high, if its lower than 6 its too acid, for normal breeding of aerobic and also anerobic bacteria in the septic tank. In that case check the sludge and scum in the bottom of the primary and secondary compartment. If there's four inches in the primary and zero in the secondary, you're okay for two years.

Skip to comments.2012 ELECTION LIVE THREAD II !!!!!!!!
Posted on 11/06/2012 4:02:30 PM PST by GQuagmireEdited on 11/06/2012 5:00:14 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Since I haven't seen one yet, I'll start it.
I agree that God is ultimately in control; but He also allows humans to have free will. within certain constraints. But when that free will is misused, humans have to suffer the consequences. And stuff happens, too. Because this world is far from perfect and was designed that way.
Sometimes uprisings and revolutions and genocide happen. I think we will see very rought times here.
Have you ever looked at the consequences of such a belief system? And of denying it? I will not save my sermon. I will tell everyone. Beliefs have consequences.
That's a shame
Were they fooled or just perpetually foolish in the way they view and live life.
I have no sympathy for the perpetually foolish.
Enough with the idiots who bring trouble on themselves, let them get by the best way they can.
I'm really reevaluating my views on people tonight.
Me and my kind, true conservatives, count, but others do not in anyway.
Harsh yes, but I'm in a harsh mood and it probably will last.
Enough is enough!
Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea are great examples of that.
Why did your mood not translate into even the smallest practical helpful action? The polls were stolen. They were stuffed, they were engineered. This is not the result of a free play of ideas.
And Barack is probably very happy with you wanting to be thus divided. If you could convince some fools through kindness that they were treated as dirt by others, you might gain a friendly force.
A coup we knew. We fought the last battle knowing that if we lost, it would be the last peaceful day in many of our lives. It's on now and there is no turning back. I stayed very silent mostly during this time because I saw the bigger picture and like you, the vast overconfidence of those who hate our independence and our patriotism. We are not welcome anymore in our own country. Decency has been overcome by an army of darkness, of evil. Evil has grown so strong that there is no longer any peaceful way out. Depravity and insanity now rule this world and those of us who see it must somehow try to remain sane and defeat it one way or another.
The Mayans were right. This is truly the end of the world as we have known it.
At the very least, they should consider Pascal's wager.
Anyhow it sounds like he's out a job he thought he would get.
And what will we see here.
Haven't posted thread on here before so not sure how to do!
but the link below is worth commenting on? Thanks all!..I'm just as crushed as everyone but..live to fight another day :)
I'm done for the night folks.
It is what it is, but I am not done.
Obama can not out run his polarizing community organizing BS this time. He is NOT a UNITER.
I am taking notes.
I cannot disagree with the comment you just made above.
I cannot even imagine the dark storm ahead.
"We are going to be the first generation that has to explain to its Grand-children, why they dont have the same life opportunities that they had. CONGRATULATIONS..."
This is what happens when RINOS are nominated. If we want to win we should nominate actual conservative candidates.
One wonders if, in an unguarded moment, he would say "BY GOD, I'm not buying it" — and then stop to reflect on what that means. That the very God that he is despairing on exercising a credible presence in the state of affairs he sees, is the authority to which he instinctively reaches in order to damn the state of affairs he sees.
I cant believe what is happening; we have the stupidest voters in America. All of us who know this are for the second time going to be punished with another 4 years of this abject destruction from this pathetic administration that will in short order destroy a once great country.
I no longer care for the people of Jersey, New York, or any other Blue State and I will with relish as I hope to watch the North Easter again make their lives a misery. They want the Government to be their savior, so be it; sounds like it has been swell so far! The only thing that hurts my heart and makes me morn is for the precious animals that have suffered and perhaps be abandoned or will die in the next as well as the previous round of storms. These people can just drop in the ocean for all I care; they deserve to reap what they sow as I must suffer their short sighted vision.
This was our last chance and it appears gone as I write at 12.34 AM. Long past time to pretend that the ship turns around in my life time. America is no longer the Shining city On A Hill It is now Obamaville soon to be decayed, robbed of its glory and decency in all the years left to me. I am so sorry for all of us that had such high hopes that people had a smidgen of sense; too much to hope for.
I can not comprehend this? How can this be possible? Allen West may loose and Warren takes Brown in Massachusetts not that I am a fan of Brown but Warren is a liberal whack job, just shoot me now! I think I hate America and I have the same contempt obama has but for the opposite reasons. What a hell-hole we inherit and must endure; it is just too painful to have to face twice, thats eight years! It is just not eight years to many, it is all over, there is nothing left to save. It is as if all the intelligent Americans have all been sentenced without reprieve, though I realize that is the way of the world; murder and mayhem await the enlightened intellectuals and anyone whom should just have different ideas about how they want to live. I guess for now we can be happy they are not lining us up to be shot!
I think my news days are over for awhile, Rush is the only one that I will listen to.
And what action is that???
My state has voter ID and is very RED.
It's up to the people of Ohio, Wis, etc if they want to accept this crap or fight.
If they accept, the hell with them.
If it takes outraging America with the farce that the elections were to upset this apple cart, then that's what it takes. God will bring it about. Will America remember enough of what it used to be to respond. I hope the rednecks of America (and rednecks come in many colors) will do just that.
It sucks to be in the middle of it all, of course. But God has not jettisoned His throne which is in heaven.
"we have the stupidest voters in America. "
The UFT and NEA have done their work well, then.
What Romney did to Mourdock and Akin was disgraceful. He was never worthy of our support in the first place.
You are just one state, and the dickens with others?
Yours will sink along with the fortunes of those that """elected""" Barack again.
Well they just earned themselves a potty mouthed """el presidente Mark II""".
I hope they like it.
I don't think "voters" failed. I think custodians of voting failed.
This is a very stupid country.
God IS in control and, though I don't know what His plan for America is, I trust Him to do what is right. He didn't MAKE people vote for Obama, but it is still part of His plan nonetheless. Nothing takes Him by surprise. If we are His, we need fear nothing that man can do to us.
Will not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Genesis 18:25)
I believe the country was stupified. I believe even we were stupified. Nobody believed that an army of questionable "voters" was a risk, except in the most generalized of terms.
Well, America's holiday from the reality of the evil world has come to an end. To be attacked in war by a frank enemy would be preferable to this, being rotted from within.
Now when the power of darkness comes in like a flood, (sometimes) the Lord will raise up a banner. This could be the biggest boon that the churches of the country have ever had. They will be the chief lights when all the other lights have been put out.
boabums - America has executed 50 million of their own children.
What would be the just way for God to treat America?
Don't let Barack turn fellow Americans into your enemies.
And just where does he think the "heck" will come from, into which he wants to throw God? If it's just his private invention, why should anyone else care?
Actually, once God did get thrown into "heck." Christians refer to it as the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
I worked for Romney's campaign past couple months. I am sick that he conceded without fighting the fraud issues in Ohio and Florida, etc. Myself? My next project will be working on voter reform/ voter fraud
I agree with you The Cajun, my world is about to get very very small because I want NOTHING to do with anyone who voted for the Big Zero. And God help them as things get worse if they dare to complain in front of me.
Well, when Israel sinned egregiously, eventually God let its enemies literally kill its children so it could see the result of forsaking God.
But when children are killed and a people don't care, then what is a God going to do in order to bring the horror home to that people? Maybe something similar to what is happening now. By letting that people's government throw the obscene finger right in that people's face.
I don't know what the answers are anymore, I just think we might be lucky to survive it. We are dealing with people the likes of Pol pot. Just because they have not acted in this fashion as yet does not mean they don't want too. This may seem extreme but it happens all the time, why not here. I have always thought Gore could easily have been a Nazi the way he shreaks. So many of the left remind me of commies we have lived through, though never here; but it is a new day!
I'm not saying God "did this", but nothing happens outside of God's plan and purpose. He knows the end from the beginning. Even though we have free will, there is nothing we do that surprises Him or that can somehow foul up His plan. It's a mystery. And you are right, WE the people have the leaders we elect (at least that's supposed to be how it works), but even this fits into His plan and we have to trust Him. I've been praying for months for Obama to lose, but he didn't, so either God doesn't hear our prayers, He doesn't care about what we bring to Him in prayer or He DID hear and He DID answer our prayer. I prayed for God's will to be done, so I trust that it WILL be. Obama might be able to steal an election but he cannot steal my hope.
Mia Love lost in Utah, also. She lost by 2,818 votes to the Dem. The Libertarian took 5,690 votes (2.6%) and would have brought her to 50.7%. The Rat won with 49.3%
By the way, Libertarians took away one and maybe two Congressional seats from the Republicans in Arizona - their votes were 6-plus percent of the totals in two races. But Sheriff Joe won by 10 points over the Dem.
In New Mexico, Heather Wilson lost to environmental extremist and radical Martin Heinrich ("oil and coal are fuels of the past") 51-45 percent. But an independent candidate got 4% of the vote. Steve Pearce here in the oil patch won with 60% of the vote. Some powerful senate Democrats lost so maybe Gov.Martinez can repeal driver's licenses for illegals. However, where an Anglo was up against a Hispanic, the Anglo most always lost, across all races state house, senate, judges, etc. Where a Republican Hispanic was up against a Democratic Hispanic, the races were a toss up with Reps winning some. The party HAS to recruit good Hispanics if it is going to stay relevant in this state.
This should be every American's care. It would be one thing if Barack had won the hearts of America fair and square. But that's impossible. Barack just gave America the finger. This is not self government. This is cowardice and despair, unless it is resisted.
I'm 100% there with you, like I said, enough is enough as of tonight.
Why isn't God enslaved, so to speak, by His own omnipotence? That's a philosophical question. But it matters. We have to be able to speak of God permitting things that in some manner He does not want or does not prefer, in order to have a world in which evil is even possible without said evil being endorsed by God. God has to allow His handiwork to resist Him without causing it to happen. It falls into the realm of miracle.
If you want to transform yourself into not just God, but a graceless God, then this is the consequences.
I suggest you rethink. In what measure you measure out, it will be measured to you by God. And you will wish you had shown other than a hard heart.
Pol Pot killed literally, which Barack Obama is unlikely to do. He will kill softly, with words.
And this is the very time your world should get larger, not smaller. It should get larger by letting more God into it. More God, with all of His stubborn grace, the stubborn grace without which you might as well already be in an eternal hell.
God lays it all out.
"I will replace your people with another", and that is exactly what is happening here. I will turn your children and your families over to lusts and perversions that they have chosen."
And we saw this in America today.
Honesty has certainly fallen by the wayside. And winking and nodding (I don't mean sleeping) leads to more winking and nodding, until eventually, getting along to get along, a people tolerates the sort of fraud that just happened — tolerates it for the sake of form. Everyone who still cares about the country ought to be screaming bloody murder right now.
You apparently missed the threads on here that called for Akin's head within the first 24 hours.
At one point, the movement that says it is for individual responsibility needs to take responsibility for its own actions (or inactions).
Then maybe we'll win elections again. We suck at it because we are too busy blaming everyone else.
That was a literal warning only to the Hebrew people. Inasmuch as it happens to non-Jewish Christians, it is by analogy only.

Treviso repeated last weekend's feat when they beat Zebre 26-18 in their PRO12 derby at the Stadio Monigo on Saturday.
Treviso repeated last weekend's feat when they beat Zebre 26-18 in their PRO12 derby at the Stadio Monigo on Saturday.
Edoardo Gori's touchdown and the accurate boot of Kris Burton – who notched 16 points – eased Treviso into a 19-6 half-time lead.
Luciano Orquera and Gonzalo Garcia kicked the visitors' points in the opening period, but Leonardo Ghiraldini's try sealed the win after the break despite Paolo Buso and Giovanbattista Venditti's late scores for Zebre.
Although the eighth placed Pro12 side only defeated their Italian rivals 10-3 in the previous encounter a week ago, they were dominant throughout.
And the hosts started this match in equally controlled fashion with Burton kicking an early drop-goal.
He followed that up with another three-pointer as Benetton opened up a 6-0 advantage after eight minutes.
Zebre initially responded well to that setback when a period of pressure ended in Orquera slotting a penalty between the uprights.
But a yellow card to Mauro Bergamasco halted their progress and the home side's stand-off extended the lead.
Gori then scampered over as Treviso asserted their authority on proceedings and, although Garcia briefly reduced the arrears after Ghiraldini had been sin-binned, Burton made the score 19-6 to Franco Smith's men at the break.
The hosts continued to dominate in the second half and their hooker made up for his earlier indiscretion to power across the whitewash.
Buso then touched down to give Zebre a glimmer of hope, but they couldn't find their way to the line again until the very last move of the match when Venditti crossed, Tito Tebaldi converting.
The scorers:

Tries: Gori, Ghiraldini

Tips About Buying a New Or Used Car
Why should you think about energy when buying a new or used car? In the long run, doing a little bit of shopping and research BEFORE you buy will save you both energy and money.
Most of us only think about how much we can afford when shopping for a car. But if the car we purchase is a gas-guzzler, it will soon be costing us a lot more each and every week.
So, if you're buying a new or used car - Think Energy Efficiency!
Tips About Buying a New Car
Before heading out to the dealerships, take some time to do some comparison shopping. Pick up a copy of Consumer Reports or automobile magazines that compare the models. Read about various vehicle "families" and try to determine which size is best for your needs: do you need a subcompact, a compact, a sedan, a two-door?
Compare the mileage ratings for the various cars or trucks you're considering. All new cars have window stickers listing the latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's mileage ratings. These ratings are scientifically determined using state-of-the-art testing facilities that run the cars and trucks through simulated city street and freeway driving. The mileage you get on your vehicle, however, may differ from this rating, depending on your driving habits and the actual vehicle itself.
The EPA mileage rating is a good guide about how much the car will cost you to run. If, for example, you had to make a choice between a sport utility vehicle car rated at 20 miles per gallon and a car rated at 30 mpg, it would be wise to go with the more efficient car with better mileage.
If you traveled 12,000 miles per year at a cost of $2.50 a gallon of gasoline, the 20-mpg SUV will cost you $1,500 to operate. The 30-mpg car would cost $1,000, so you would save $500/year with the 30-mpg car. If you own the car for five years, you will have saved $2,500!
You may also want to consider a hybrid vehicle. While the initial cost may be higher, it will pay itself back in a few years by gasoline saved.
Besides efficiency and mileage, also consider how much of a car do you really need. If you will never venture into the backwoods and ride on hilly, dirt roads; if you only use the car to drive to and from work on freeway...do you really need a sport utility vehicle? SUVs, because of their weight and horsepower, are some of the most inefficient vehicles on the market. They typically get only about 16-18 mpg or less around town and 20-24 mpg or less on the freeway.
A smaller car that gets excellent mileage may be what you need for that short daily commute. Most people don't need a super, ultra-fancy luxury car to go back and forth the 10 or 20 miles to their jobs. And if you do commute very long distances, mileage should be a prime consideration along with vehicle comfort and safety.
Another consideration before you buy a car should be how much of the vehicle can be recycled after it has out-lived its usefulness. Auto companies are now making vehicles that can be nearly 100 percent recycled: the plastics can be chopped up and reused, the light metal can be stripped off and reused, the steel can be melted down and re-forged. So rather than being thrown into a scrap yard to sit and rust, vehicles are disassembled, and the parts recycled back into raw materials.
Finally, when planning a new car purchase...consider an alternative fuel vehicle as your main commuting car. The majority of automobile trips are made by a single person who drives less than 25 miles a day. This is the perfect range for an electric or hybrid vehicle. If you own a company with a fleet of vehicles, you may want to consider compressed natural gas (CNG). The cost per mile of using CNG is typically lower than gasoline, and you can refuel them overnight while they are in your parking lot.
Tips About Buying A Used Car
If you're thinking about buying a used vehicle, be sure to have the car carefully inspected by your mechanic to make sure it is running properly. A car that is improperly tuned or that has a bad engine or transmission will run poorly and use energy inefficiently.
Used vehicles have many more years of life in them, and driving them helps extend their total energy life cycle - the amount of energy needed to get the raw materials to build and deliver the vehicle to the consumer.
You may consider buying a used hybrid vehicle, but be aware that these cars may carry a premium because they are in relatively high demand.

In an ongoing effort to be "a company that society wants to exist," American Honda Motor Co, Inc. today announced its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Statement for North America and the launch of a complementary Corporate Social Responsibility website.
The Corporate Social Responsibility website will showcase Honda's efforts and dedication through four main pillars – environment, diversity, community, and education-- as well as a section detailing "what we believe." Each pillar will feature Honda associates and our community partners sharing programs and initiatives about which they are passionate. Through ongoing blog posts, photos and videos, we hope to highlight the stories of our community partners and share the great work they are doing. We welcome the online community to join in the conversation by commenting, sharing, participating in site surveys and creating content.
CSR Statement for North America
The launch of the CSR website coincides with Honda's announcement of a Corporate Social Responsibility Statement for North America. Reflecting Honda's long-standing humanistic philosophy, the statement affirms the company's stance on key social values, including human rights, working conditions, business ethics, diversity, environmental stewardship and community involvement. The statement highlights Honda's goal of being "a company that society wants to exist." Read the full statement.
Honda is well-known for its diverse lineup of quality automobiles under the Honda and Acura nameplates, and for its motorcycles, ATVs, power products, and marine engines. But the company is about far more than creating innovative products that exceed customer expectations. Since its establishment, Honda has been committed to developing technologies that make peoples lives better, and to developing long-lasting partnerships with the communities where we work and live.
Executive Quote

Virgin Blue Reluctantly Imposes Non-Inclusive Fare Pricing16/12/2004
Virgin Blue has announced that from tomorrow it will regrettably revert its all inclusive airfare advertising back to a base fare plus taxes and charges format following moves by Qantas and Jetstar to return to the old pricing practice.
While the leading low fare airline feels this is a lamentable move for consumers and the industry as a whole, the carrier is compelled to make the change back to the cost plus arrangement after Qantas and its no frills counterpart used recent court decisions to justify a return to the confusing system of excluding charges from fare prices.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "The decision to do away with the industry practice of inclusive airline pricing is to the detriment of the travelling public.
With both Qantas and Jetstar already advertising non-inclusive fares, Virgin Blue has been forced to implement the former pricing structure to remain competitive in the market.
"We disagree with this regressive practice. We successfully championed in conjunction with the ACCC a giant leap forward for consumers two years ago, and now that gain has been put aside. We are being forced to take this road reluctantly and have written today to both the ACCC and the Australian Consumers Association to express our concern.
"We urge consumers to contact the ACCC, Australian Consumers Association or their local federal parliamentarian to express their views and support us in having this reversal reversed," Brett Godfrey finished.

This is cross-posted from my blog (I didn't fee like trying to come up with something new to type...)
I've known about this one for a long time. It's been in the works since before I quit working for Logos back in April. But it's here now and its awesome.
All of the Greek and Latin texts available from Perseus are now also going to be available offline in Logos Bible Software. And that includes the Duke Data Bank Papyri, the grammars, lexicons, commentaries, everything.
You can read all about the details here:
3000+ Free Perseus Books for Logos 4
This is an incredible event and provides numerous resources that thus far have only been accessible with an internet connection. And they're still free. I'd suggest reserving your place in line ASAP.
