First Saturday of Lent: The Commemoration of the Miracle of Kollyva wrought by Saint Theodore the Tyro
The Gospel according to Mark 2:23-28; 3:1-5
At that time, Jesus was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?" And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath."
Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come here." And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch it out," and his hand was restored.

The entire menu is fantastic but now they've made gluten free pancakes available, which taste just like their buttery regular pancakes! Yum!
12224 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852
GF pancakes! The special pancakes (chocolate chip, pecan, etc.) seem to be more topped than they are mixed in, but they were very good nonetheless! Came out on dedicated plates.
1505 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine, TX 76051
Update: I had to take 2 stars off went for breakfast got the gluten free pancakes and found plastic cooked into mine, grossed me out I can't go back now! The pancakes are so good, and the bacon is thick sliced and wonderful. I eat here often. The sausage patties and links are rolled in flour, but ask your waitress to have them not roll them in flour it takes a couple extra minutes
435 S Melrose Dr # 101, Vista, CA 92081
They use Kinnikinnick mix for their GF pancakes. We have eaten there 2 times now and have been ok.
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
I ate here the day before Christmas Eve. I have celiac and have eaten here several times and the gluten free pancakes were very good. But this time I had a terrible reaction. I told the waitress I needed gluten free when she first came to the table, told her again when I ordered and she repeated it, but there was a mix up somewhere because I am certain that I was given regular pancakes. I have not been that sick since I went on a gluten free diet 8 years ago. Almost had to stay home and miss Christmas Eve dinner the next day. So be very careful and double check that you have gluten free food.
Amazing!! The menu clearly indicates which items are gluten free. I had the pancakes, and they were soooo yummy!!
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
They no longer sell gluten free pancakes
1750 Hamner Ave, Norco, CA 92860
Soooo excited!! Gluten Free pancakes, waffles, and crepes at my favorite restaurant. This is specific to this location as the Primm Nevada location does not offer this.
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
Pancakes are good! Hash browns are phenomenal. They even have waffles and crepes gfree!
17000 Chesterfield Airport Rd, Chesterfield, MO 63005
They have the best gluten free pancakes I have ever tasted. They have 8 different options of pancakes. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the St.Louis area
790 E 2100 S #400, Salt Lake City, UT 84106
When they first opened they were very good..but i have been ill the last 3-4 times... This place may be good for those on a Gluten-free diet, but not for someone with celiac. ..my family and i have found other places to go that really care... and don't blow smoke....
8601 SW 24th Ave, Portland, OR 97219
good pancakes and bacon but not safe for celiac. was told they can never guarantee clean griddle or spatula and no server should ever tell you they can do that. that came from their main legal guy.
915 Charlottetowne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28204
So many options! We eat here all the time!!
915 Charlottetowne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28204
The food is absolutely delicious. The menu has lots of choices. Some of the best gluten free pancakes I've had.
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
When asking the wait staff about GF procedures to avoid x-contamination, they were not knowledgable. Considering the promotion of GF without preparation knowledge with regular food, I asked for the manager to explain the need for a knowledgeable wait and cook staff. I actually spoke to the owner who replied that I should leave.
790 E 2100 S #400, Salt Lake City, UT 84106
I have never gotten sick. Eat here all the time.
170 Hamilton Ave, White Plains, NY 10605
Most pancake dishes can be made gluten free. The pancakes were so good and tasted just like regular pancakes. Would definitely go back!!!
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed dining here this morning. It's always a challenge to find a restaurant that truly makes me feel safe about eating out. As soon as I mentioned Celiac Disease to our server, Molly, she explained that they have a separate grill, pointed out all the selections on the menu that are marked as gluten free options, and assured me that they understand how to control cross-contamination in the kitchen. Aaron, the manager, came out to our table three times to make sure I felt good about my meal and to let me know that they welcome questions. It felt wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy a meal out knowing the staff was well-trained and were taking care of me. In addition, the food was great, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance classy. Love this place!
8000 E Belleview Ave, Greenwood Village, CO 80111
Delicious egg, bacon and potato options. No separate menu but very gf conscious.
2075 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Buffalo, NY 14228
It was a beautiful place but if you have a peanut allergy also STAY AWAY. They put peanut oil in all of the batter. They were very accommodating but my son was very disappointed when he could only have fruit and bacon.
3000 Westgate Mall, Fairview Park, OH 44126
The gf pancakes were tasty and so nice-- enjoyed it so much. Nice waitress and clean restaurant. Happy celiac
915 Charlottetowne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28204
Terrific breakfast place. The menu has lots of options. They have a very nice laminated GF options menu. I was with a group of 4 and we all enjoyed our lunch. It was nice to be able to have pancakes with everyone else!
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
The strawberry GF pancakes are fantastic! Note that their maple syrup is not gluten free; however, the strawberry syrup that comes out with the strawberry pancakes is to die for. You need to go here!!
915 Charlottetowne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28204
I had the strawberry pancakes and they were some of the best GF pancakes I've had! The batter was sweet and the pancakes were fluffy. Truly some of the best I've had!
2075 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Buffalo, NY 14228
Loved all the options for gluten free. My daughter has been craving pancakes and we weren't disappointed
2301 N Central Expy #156, Plano, TX 75075
Post script, I mentioned CC concerns on reviews to the manager. Regarding CC, manager said they have a catering grill they can use for the GF pancake, upon request. --- Trying for first time, asked about GF pancake. Waiter had ingredient list in his pocket, and offered us a sample. Very tasty, and along with tons of other menu options (eggs, meats, salads, etc...), plenty of choices for GF. Good quality is excellent and service great too. As others have noted, they don't have a dedicated grill. A small amount of cross contamination is tolerable for us. We will be back.
1518 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46260
Gluten-Free pancakes are really good.
2075 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Buffalo, NY 14228
They have a list of the pancake options that can be made gluten free. We had bacon as well, but not sure about the eggs. They were extremely fluffy and likely had a little pancake batter mixed in - something to ask about. My sensitive GF boy didn't get sick, so that says a lot!
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Great food great portions. Celiac friendly food comes out on a red plate. Great system of seperating it from gluten food. Small wait but worth it.
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
Great food. Everything is clearly labeled. Did not get sick. All gluten free comes out on a red plate!
1661 County Road B2 W, Roseville, MN 55113
Best breakfast EVER! Went here on vacation and was so impressed with helpful waitstaff and GF menu. We had GF strawberry crepes, GF Apple crepes, GF chocolate and blueberry pancakes... All delicious. I highly recommend this place.
1505 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine, TX 76051
Only GF option available was pancakes. The rest of the menu looked good but was not safe to eat.
3501 W 70th St, Minneapolis, MN 55435
BEST GLUTEN FREE BREAKFAST! My daughter and I both have celiac, and we had yet to find a restaurant to serve her gf French toast. This place knocked it out of the park. I had the strawberry crepes and was also in heaven! They prepared our meals on dedicated gf equipment, too. The service was fast and friendly. We'll be back for sure!
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
Delicious GF pancakes! All of their pancakes, waffles and crepes are available to be made gluten free.
8000 E Belleview Ave, Greenwood Village, CO 80111
They have GF pancakes, but no waffles. The pancakes are very good. I had bacon, eggs, and potatoes. There were good. I have celiac and had no reaction.
6322 Vinewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55311
Amazing pancakes. Can't wait to go back because so many options!
7395 Lee Highway, Falls Church, VA 22042
No! Clueless, don't eat here. They wouldn't answer questions/concerns. Brought wrong food multiple times.
3322 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA 92869
Excellent breakfast options. Family/owners are celiac. They do have regular wheat items but all GF are cooked separately. They know how to avoid cross-contamination. Our first time was Bearkats with our local Celiac Awareness Group so that should tell you something. Again food is always very good. Limited hours open though.
1700 W Parmer Ln, Austin, TX 78727
had eggs bacon and chocolate chip gf pancakes. the gf pancakes come on a different colored plate. very good
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
Great pancakes. Bring your own syrup if you want pure maple as their gf one is their sugar free one
They have the most amazing selection of gluten free pancakes among other things!! I have never gotten sick and have eaten there 3 times and I do have celiac disease.
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
Maybe the best experience we've ever had dining out with celiac. Not only was the waiter aware of celiac disease, he even caught something that we didn't realize wasn't GF and suggested an alternative (turkey sausage for regular sausage). Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free, though. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes... We'd be there every day until we tried everything, if we could only afford it.
2075 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Buffalo, NY 14228
They have gluten free pancakes.
817 Bloomfield Ave, West Caldwell, NJ 07006
The BEST gluten free pancakes! And their omelets are incredible. . they are baked and fluffy and like no omelet I have ever had. The waitress we had was awesome and very knowledgeable about gluten.
1661 County Road B2 W, Roseville, MN 55113
This place is wonderful! The wait staff were very helpful and nice and the GF options were great! They had much more than I expected. The crepes were delicious! I was happily surprised. I will definitely be coming back here and would recommend it to anyone!
105 S State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33414
amazing gf waffle made for one happy girl
2229 Swallow Hill Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15220
Fantastic gf crepes!! I really recommend the blintz. Great pancakes too.
790 E 2100 S #400, Salt Lake City, UT 84106
The MOST delicious gluten free pancakes I've ever had! Friendly and helpful staff. several gluten free options. This particular location is the best one!!
17000 Chesterfield Airport Rd, Chesterfield, MO 63005
Had eggs, bacon & buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were wonderful! Lots of pancake choices. GF pancakes come out on a different colored plate. Server was knowledgeable. Overall a little pricey for all menu items, OJ is fresh squeezed on site. Nice treat while on vacay!
1418 E Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA 92805
I am sure their gf pancakes and waffles are great, however for anyone who has a true allergy, it needs to be known that they are made on the same grill with gluten containing products. For this reason my daughter and I chose not to eat here. We're sad to not be able to eat here, but would rather not deal with the consequences of the cross contamination.
1931 11th Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 35205
Pancakes are made on the same grill as gluten containing pancakes, so only meat/egg dishes are truly gf. Server was somewhat knowledgeable and tried to tell me that others with celiac disease have eaten pancakes without problems, but I'm not willing to risk it. Ended up getting the corned beef hash and it was absolutely terrible. Will not be revisiting.

"Such a cute paie of shoes! I've only worn them around the house, because they are a bit higher than I had in mind. I mean I knew what the description said, but for whatever reason it seems higher. They are comfortable to wear, though and they are cute on, especially with painted toes. I love the thought of being able to wear them with jeans or a cute sundress. My husband bought me the perfect sundress to wear with them and I cna't wait to wear them two together. I just need to walk around in them some more around the house and get more used to the height of them. There are several color choices-yellow, dark denim blue, coral/pink. I'm tempted to try and get the coral pair-I have another dress that they would pair perfectly with."

Patients have rated the stress of undergoing IVF as more
stressful than or almost as stressful as any other major life event, such as
the death of a family member or separation or divorce.
general assumptions may be made about stress levels during IVF, the experience
for infertility patients will be personal and unique--each patient will
experience the stress differently based upon his or her own personality and
life experiences. Dealing with the
medical staff and with the side effects or potential complications of medical
treatment has its own stress: hot flashes, headaches, mood fluctuations,
injections, sonograms, future health concerns, and decision making about
embryos, their disposition and multiple pregnancies.
Unexpected Challenges
The aspects of IVF that are perceived as stressful by
patients are multifaceted and affect all parts of their life/lives: marital,
social, physical, emotional, financial, and religious. Time is stressful, both
in the time commitment to an intense treatment which leads to disruption in
family, work, and social activities, and for some, in long waiting periods for
treatment services. IVF stress may impact the marital relationship, by reducing
sexual intimacy. Couples also may find
themselves stretched financially, paying for the high cost of IVF treatment
with a somewhat limited probability of success. Dealing with the medical staff
and with the side effects or potential complications of medical treatment has
its own stress: hot flashes, headaches, mood fluctuations, injections,
sonograms, future health concerns, and decision making about embryos, their
disposition and multiple pregnancies. Religious, social, and moral issues may
also make IVF stressful, especially for those dealing with third- party
reproduction, if these values conflict with the choice of treatment.
The first treatment cycle has been found to be the most
stressful for patients, with the possibility of high levels of confusion,
bewilderment, and anxiety. This may be due in part to the fact that it is a new
experience with an unfamiliar medical process, medications and treatment
protocols that can change during the cycle, and possibly working with a new
team of healthcare professionals. Within a treatment cycle, patients view IVF
as a series of stages which must be successfully completed before moving on to
the next phase of treatment: monitoring, oocyte retrieval, fertilization,
embryo transfer, waiting period, and pregnancy test stages. The level of
stress, anxiety, and anticipation rises with each stage, peaking during the
waiting period. Research has shown that in order of perceived stress for
patients, waiting to hear the outcome of the embryo transfer is the most
stressful, followed by waiting to hear whether fertilization has occurred, and
then the egg retrieval stage. Patients are aware of the importance of these key
phases in the IVF process, and the uncertainty of the outcome is often highly
Coping Strategies
Despite the stressful consequences of infertility and IVF,
it is important to note that research has shown that the vast majority of
patients adjust well emotionally. Further, there seems to be no long-term
impact on the marital relationship and individual functioning. In fact, some
research has shown that the crisis of infertility may actually improve marital
communication and emotional intimacy. Couples may learn coping skills and
communication patterns that provide life-long benefit. Those individuals who do
develop uncomfortable anxiety or depression symptoms should consult with a
mental health professional who has knowledge and experience with infertility.
IVF has the potential to be an emotionally, physically, and
financially exhausting experience. If
you are a patient about to begin a cycle, here are some tips to help get ready
for IVF:
The 10-14 day waiting period between transfer and receiving
the pregnancy test results is often described as the most difficult part of the
cycle. Having had daily contact with your medical support staff during
monitoring and retrieval, you suddenly are on your own after transfer and just
have to wait. You need to think about how to fill your time during this time,
and then consider where you will be when you receive the results (probably not
at work) and whether you want to be together to hear the news. To allow some
time to deal with what you learn, you may want to consider "fibbing"
to family and friends by telling them the results are due a few days later than
reality. This will give you breathing space and time to adjust to the news
before dealing with others.
Look past this cycle at the beginning. It is important to
be looking ahead as you prepare for IVF and to consider your limits as you
begin the process. It is easy to know how you will feel if treatment is
successful and you become pregnant. However, you must also understand that if
you are unsuccessful in achieving a pregnancy, you cannot get away from the
sadness, loss, and disappointment that are part of the grieving process. Think
about the number of cycles you are willing or able to do, and how much more
time and money will be involved in infertility treatment, knowing that you can
always reassess later. Remember that with each cycle new information is learned
that can help future decision-making. Consider exploring other family building
options, such as adoption, which will give you some control and provide
information for future choices. No matter what the outcome of IVF, you need to
recognize you have succeeded in doing all that is within your power to have a
child, and can feel good about yourself. Doing so minimizes any possible future

The Moni Poni is a plastic spiral ponytail holder which has been carefully engineered to produce just the right amount of pressure throughout the layers of a ponytail.
A New Twist on an Old Tool

Get a Handle on It!
Moni discovered that putting a handle on the end of a spiral allows the spiral to be fed into the center of a ponytail so that it distributes pressure into the inner layers creating a strong, but gentle hold.

Cute, but didn't fit right
"I had been eyeing these for a while and went ahead and ordered them when the weather got nice! They're really cute and I loved the green color. Unfortunately, they were too narrow and too long for my feet. :( I will have to return them, but if you have long, skinny feet they will be perfect!"

Perfect flat sandal
"The only negative is that the color is more yellow-brown, than tan-brown (as depicted on the photo). HOWEVER, these shoes are so comfy I want to sleep in them. Perfect slip on for shorts or a dress, I can wear these with just about any style in my closet. Wish I had bought more."

NOT Leather
"Personally I wear only leather, especially during the summer when I don't want to get blisters from the combined effect of humidity and synthetics, so no little was my surprise when these sandals turned out to be "All Man Made Materials." Other than that they were fine and the olive was much prettier in person.I returned my pair."

The Ajaxian.com AJAX survey results were released today: http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajaxiancom- ey-results
Of note: 43% use Prototype and 33% use script.aculo.us. (7% are using jQuery--which I am in love with personally ).
14% of Javascript developers (at least in the context of AJAX) are using Rails, compared with 50% using PHP.

Hegemonia Legions of Iron because it was my first space sim and it still is the best
Hegemonia Legions of Iron because it was my first space sim and it still is the best
MY favourite pc games are:
-Diablo ( 1-2-3) : Best Hack and slash ever. Even better than WOW in my opinion. I spent countless hours on it. It was the good old times. Can't wait for the 3 by the way
-Age of empires: One of the best strategy game ever. Though i've never been ultra strong, it's a classic that every strategy game fans should know. I'm currently playing the Age of Empires Online which is quite good.
-Dungeon Keeper 2 : I don't know if you have played it but it's reallyy good. The only downside is that it's really old so the graphics are pretty much crappy.
-Counter Strike: Better that COD, medal of honour, etc. I can't get enough of all these lan Game. Though i've to say that the older versions are the better ones.
-Duke nukem 3D: One of the very first game i've played in my life. Will always remember it. By the way, Duke nukem forever has been released
Star Craft 3 is my favorite Game... Really interesting and full of Exciting Game really enjoy to Played from beginning to the End.
With no doubt Warcraft. It is one of the amazing war game I have ever seen. I don't have words to explain my views about the Warcraft3.
I dont play too many PC games...so right now my favorite is/are Sid Mier's Civilization series. I love those game
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
Mine has to has to HAS TO be Black and white because i could control who lives, who dies and if my creature was good or bad. it was AWESOME XD
Melissa Denholm
Ill go with, Starcraft 2 as its my current favorite. I also really enjoyed Half Life 1 and 2.
My favorite PC game of all time would have to a free to play MMORPG called Dungeon Fighter Online, I freaking love this game and have over 5,000+ hours of gameplay. The game plays and looks like an old school 2D beat' em up mixed with rpg elements and has quite a few classes and sub classes, I highly recommend this free to play game. http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/
My Favorite PC game of all time would have to be Diablo II because of how epic this hack and slash rpg is everything from it's story to it's colorful retro graphics is superb in every way that includes the expansion.

The legal watchdog Judicial Watch released an audio recording Thursday of a Department of Justice staffer urging Sanford, Fla., city officials and the minority advocacy group Dream Defenders to seek justice for Trayvon Martin, because if a community perceives that theres something wrong in the black community, theres something wrong.

Divide and Conquer.
Mostly the 2nd amendment under attack.
Sadly, the most divided group of Americans today are the conservatives.
We can't seem to agree that the sky is blue.
So true.
For all of you pro military types (I am one too) we have the weapons to eliminate our enemies quickly, we certainly do not need to rebuild our enemies, the DoD can afford a big spending cut too.
"News you won't be seeing on MSNBC/NBC/CBS/ABC/E!/CNN/Pacifica/WashPost/NYTimes,etc..."
Black Panthers with suits.
...the opportunity to honor his memory, to honor his spirit by working to bring down the various structures and the various systems that allow something like this to happen.
Translation into plain English: "Gimme, gimme, gimme!"
Sadly, the most divided group of Americans today are the conservatives.
We cant seem to agree that the sky is blue.
If we can't stand together we will destroy ourselves from within.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...
We cant seem to agree that the sky is blue.
It isn't blue ALL the time...
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING would make Obama more happy than to see race riots..its what he wants, its what he is salivating for..the DOJ wants it, the left wants it, and Obama wants it more than anyone..if it happens he would be the first to come on TV and try his hardest not to giggle
It's been pretty black around here for the past 5 years.
*is that racist?*
Justice for George.
He desires some martial law.
Our government is deliberately attempting to promote racial hatred and division.
Sadly, the most divided group of Americans today are the conservatives.
We cant seem to agree that the sky is blue.
What things are we divided on?
race -- you mean like race away from the po-lice and the sirens.
I was just thinking the same thing. Divide everyone and then declare he has control over all of us.
Pick any candidate and post a thread.
True to a point but when I'm being called names because I don't worship McCain 2008 and Romney 2012 it is I that is electing Obama.
Childish crap.
They flew a trial balloon in Boston.
The people ate it up.
Not voting, effectively DID get us Obama.
How must Zimmerman feel? His government and his President are taking sides against him, but more than taking sides against him, they are using him as a strawman to take down the 'structures' and 'systems' that they perceive to be racist.
So to defeat racism, they are willing to be racists and whip up racial disunity in communities.
The House of Representatives has to get into this with hearings to expose it.
Gun confiscation would likely follow.
Why do you suppose GZ put on 100 lbs?
This guy is deeply depressed.
1) I voted
2) I live in TN and knew they'd both win the state anyway. Wasn't close.
I voted Romney/Ryan here in Tx after all options had been exhausted.
Then worked hard to get Cruz to the senate.
Pffft everything is racist nowadays.
Dog Whistles:
States' Rights
Fried Chicken
and maaaany more...
When meeting one of these Critical Race Theory types you must
1) Start by discreetly smirking and smiling, then
2) Burst out laughing in their face
We had storm clouds here today.
I reported to a co worker that it was getting pretty black outside, and then felt a twinge of PC guilt as a black man was present.
It really is out of control.
Should I have said dark?
Such BS.
You are lucky. For some reason, Tn voters love Rino's. So McCain and Romney didn't even have to run here. By the time our primary came around it was settled.
Face it, we have Lamar and Bob Corker in the Senate. Yuck. And our Gov, Haslam, is such a rich RINO wuss. The last GOP gov, Don "tax terrorist" Sundquist tried to raise an unconstitional tax.
Even once the state legislature tipped Republican for the first time since caveman days, they waste their time on BS.
It's frustrating. Dem Gov Phil Bredesen was much better and more conservative.
THis is bad.
This is not.
We never even got a primary in Tx.
Dept. of Just Us, it's obvious.
hahaha! Nope! It's not the candidate I would be worried about, it would be all the jabs at my vanity post!
I think most all would be positive about Cruz, don't you agree?
I think most all are positive about DeMint, a few naysayers.
I think Rand Paul would get more positives than negatives but nothing like Cruz.
There are more but I've been draggin' the last few days, don't know what my problem is. I'll think of them...ha!
People love Cruz, So far...
We never even got a primary in Tx.
That's the truth. I think the primary system is all buggered up.
Yeah, pick the squishy states first.
Should I have said dark?
Nope, I forget what it was but somebody recently suggested calling dark meat in chicken? turkey? was racist.
And yes, it's all a bunch of bunk!
To make a disappointing story short, I expected Laura to really expose this special unit of Holder's Schutzstaffel forces (SS), but it's still the the same old story. O'Reilly emasculated Laura a long time ago. She was like listening to paint dry tonight.
She's a voluble and nice, but she's actually a washed-out shadow of her former firebrand conservative self.
Unfortunately, she doesn't want to go against all of BOR's statist/uninformed/off-the-base opinions and lose the nice gig she has as his permanent substitute.
(....and she knows what she's become, too...sadly).
Turkey Lurkey is offended.

The Kingsford® Points Chase
Chasing Kingsford
Dead Pigs Rock Springfield
May 21, 2012
The Rock'n Ribs BBQ Festival in Springfield, Mo. was the site of the second Kingsford $40K Challenge event. The popular Midwest competition always brings in a collection of quality championship teams who throw down to see who's top dog, and 2012's Rock'n Ribs BBQ Festival was no exception.
When the smoke cleared and the teams were called, Dead Pigs Tell No Tales were standing on the stage victorious. Dead Pigs, Walt and Kathryn Coltrin's competition BBQ team, began their journey in 2008 with one competition and they were instantly hooked. Winning in Springfield will be memorable for the team as this event marks their first Grand Championship win.
"We have had several other good finishes," said Walt Coltrin. "We've had several 3rd place finishes and a few contests where we finished 4th or 5th, but Rock'n Ribs was our first Grand Championship and ranks now as our number 1 team performance."
Coltrin looks back at their win in Springfield with a decent amount of surprise. While putting together a good cook, he was shocked by the results at the end of the day.
"Everything went pretty smooth," said Coltrin. "I was pretty satisfied with my chicken and ribs entries. I did not think my brisket was a winner… to pull it was like pulling on a rubber band. I was thinking it MIGHT get a call. But I'll say I was very surprised by the first place call. And pork was a complete surprise. I was having a great deal of difficulty with my pork last year and haven't found consistency. When we got called for first in pork, I was speechless!"
Walt cooks most of his fare in a Stump's Classic using Kingsford Original charcoal, with his chicken being prepared with Kingsford Original as well is a La Caja China.
"I think Kingsford is great," said Coltrin. "It's what I've always used! Why would I change?"
After the dust settled, the Coltrins walked away from Springfield with a feeling different than any other competition had given them.
"The feeling was amazing," said Coltrin. "Winning our first Grand Championship -with all of the Kingsford celebration – it just made it that much more special!"
Dead Pigs Tell No Tales are off to Langley, Okla. before their appearance at the Austin, Texas local Sam's Club National BBQ Tour event and you better believe they'll be looking for more Grand Championships after this one.

After two full days of riding nine hours on horses and not seeing any bighorn sheep at all, the day finally came when Shawnee Barnes of Castle Dale, saw the one she felt was big enough to hang on her wall. Shawnee's father, Glenn Nelson of Huntington, knows the San Rafael desert as well as anyone and was her scout/guide throughout her hunt. "We got a late start on the hunt and went out the second week and saw about 60 head", Shawnee said, "and then my brother who was just promoted to Commander in the Navy Seals came home and we missed another full week." The hunt goes from Sept. 21 to Nov. 8 and Shawnee was 1 of 10 who had drawn a Desert Bighorn Sheep tag for the North San Rafael.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime hunt.
Shawnee says that it is hard to judge how big they are when they are so far away, but they teach you at the hunt orientation how to score a big ram so you can harvest a mature one. The ram Shawnee shot was aged and scored by the Division of Wildlife Resources to be approximately 11 years old and scored 157-158. "I am very happy with this ram and didn't realize just how big he was until we got him back to camp and my heart rate returned to normal," said Shawnee.
Shawnee's daughter, Shaffryn Schade, drew out when she was 14-years-old and was the youngest female in North American to ever harvest a bighorn sheep. Glenn, also took a nice ram a few years ago.
Her brother and ex-husband also drew sheep tags. This makes three generations to successfully get a desert bighorn sheep in one family!
"Shawnee passed up a few nice ones," her father commented, "and I was starting to get worried that she would be too selective and we wouldn't find what she wanted, but her patience paid off and now I am just glad it is over so I can go fishing!"
Shawnee's mom, Sylvia Nelson, was the camp tender and she helped out by making sure supper was on when they came in tired from a full day of hiking or horseback riding.
Shawnee is a native of Emery County and loves the desert and mountains and being outdoors, hunting, fishing and horseback riding.

ORLANDO — Tiger Woods is no longer lurking.
He's leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
And that's not good news for the rest of the field at Bay Hill.
LEADERBOARD: Arnold Palmer Invitational
Woods, who has won the tournament a record seven times and is the only two-time winner on the PGA Tour this year, made key par saves on the front nine and then stormed into the lead with a birdie on 15 and an eagle on 16 during Saturday's third round. Woods, who can become world No. 1 for the first time in 29 months with a victory, fired a stellar 6-under-par 66 to reach 11-under-par 205 and leads Rickie Fowler (67), John Huh (71) and Justin Rose (72) by two shots.
WHAT A SAVE: Thompson makes par from water
And when Woods has the lead, it's all but over. He has had the 54-hole outright lead 43 times. He has converted those into 41 victories.
"Well, I enjoy (being in the lead)," said Woods, who claimed victory No. 75 at Torrey Pines in February and No. 76 at Doral earlier this month. "That's why we play, is to be in this position. It's why I've spent all that time practicing and training is to be in this position.
"I have a chance to win (Sunday)."
So does Fowler, who will be paired in the final group with Woods. Fowler, who came home with his second consecutive 67 in the third round, has had some miserable pairings Woods. Last year in the final round at the Memorial, Fowler shot 84 while Woods fired 67 to win the tournament. Earlier this year at Torrey Pines, Fowler shot 77 in the first round with Woods, but came back with a 65 walking alongside Woods in the second round.
"After Memorial, I'm looking for a little redemption," Fowler said. "I'm feeling good about the pairing, about my game. He's definitely the guy to beat, but I'll be right there to see what's going on. With him having leads on courses he loves like this and Torrey Pines and Doral, and I'm sure there are others, he's basically never lost with a lead in the final round.
"So I'm going in there with the attitude that I have nothing to lose and we'll see what happens from there."
It won't be easy. Woods made just one bogey in the third round — on the par-4 13th when he hit a poor bunker shot. And he made five birdies and the eagle on 16. But par saves on No. 1, No. 5, No. 8 and No. 9 were just as important as any red number.
"I was just trying to make sure I didn't drop any shots today," Woods said. "I thought that was important to try to chase down the lead. I was four back starting out. I only dropped one shot today but made my share of birdies."
A lot had to do with his putting. Woods got a putting tip from Steve Stricker on the eve of the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, and it was working from the start when Woods canned a 13-footer for par on No. 1.
"It was nice to make that putt on the very first hole just so I didn't have four straight bogeys, three from yesterday and one starting out today," said Woods, who needed only 25 putts, had 11 one-putt greens and leads the tournament with 15 made putts from more than 15 feet. "I made a nice putt there, and I putted pretty solid all day. I hit a lot of good shots, and had a couple poor drives here and there, but overall I was very pleased with the way I played today.
" … I hit a lot of good putts, especially when the wind started blowing. I was able to still hit the putts flush even though the wind was moving me around a little bit; it still was good. … I feel comfortable with the putts. I hit a lot of good ones. They were starting out on my lines. I'm very pleased with the way I've been putting, and I've hit a lot of good putts especially into the grain.
"You have to hit the putts flush and get them rolling, and I've been able to do that, even today when the wind started blowing. Obviously, tomorrow the forecast is it's supposed to really blow."
Yes, the weather. The third round dodged a major weather bullet when a storm front moved north of the home to Disney World. The forecast for the final round calls for 60% chance of rain and lightning, with winds expected to blow in the 25-30 mph range.
"I'm curious to see if we get any rain and what the conditions are going to be tomorrow, and I'll play it from there," Woods said.
Fowler won't mind if the wind blows.
"I'm striking the ball great right now and looking forward to playing in the wind. Hopefully, it does blow," Fowler said. "It makes it tough for everyone, but I feel like that's one of my favorite conditions to play in is the wind. I played two years at Oklahoma State. Obviously, some wind there. Where I grew up in Southern California, it would always blow in the afternoon, so just keep swinging well and have some fun.
"I just missed a couple close putts out there today. But other than that, hit the ball nicely, drove it well. I gave myself a lot of looks at birdies, so that's positive around this track. I'm feeling good after these last two days.
" … I've been playing well all year. …My game's in a really good spot."
Rose was in a great spot after making an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole to take a two-shot lead — and a six-shot lead on Woods. But bogeys on 13, 14 and 17 dropped him back. He said his legs went out from under him when fatigue set in. He said he didn't know if it was something he ate, a bad night's sleep or he just ran out of gas for some other reason.
"The back nine was a shame, but today means nothing really until tomorrow plays out, so hopefully (Woods) doesn't go get hot and then today's just a memory," Rose said. "I'm going to go out there and try to play as good a round of golf as I can. I'm not going to think about who I'm competing against. It's going to be a day I'm going to need the putter to get hot. I've made too many bogeys the last two days, so I'll try to limit those mistakes and wait for the putter to get hot.
"I'm sure it's going to take something in the region of 67 to 64. I don't know. The weather could be really funky tomorrow, they say. So from that perspective, who knows?"

The Utah Permanent Community Impact Board approved $1.3 million in supplemental grants last week for the new senior center at Green River and swimming complex in Castle Dale.
The 11-member board also approved a $1.5 million grant and $1.5 million zero-interest loan to be repaid in five years for street, curb, gutter, sewer and water improvements in the Castle Valley Special Service District. Eight cities will benefit: Emery, Ferron, Orangeville, Castle Dale, Huntington, Cleveland, Clawson and Elmo.
Also approved last Thursday was $1.4 million in grant money and a $600,000 zero-interest loan to expand the Ferron Millsite Golf Course from nine to 18 holes.
Most of the projects are already underway. Improvements to the golf course will begin in early Spring.
Emery County is evolving from an energy-based economy to one more reliant on recreation and tourism, said CIB board member and Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud. "These projects will enrich our community and add more diversity to our economic base."
The Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to mostly rural communities impacted by mining and the extraction of oil and gas on federal land. The money is used to plan, build and maintain infrastructure and public buildings, from bridges and roads to fire stations.
The program is managed by the Division of Housing and Community Development under the Utah Department of Community and Culture.

About Absolute Grey
Formed in Rochester, New York in September 1983, the darkly melodic jangle pop quartet Absolute Grey first made a name for themselves performing at local clubs such as Schatzee's, Scorgies, and the Snake Sister's Cafe. The group's commitment to an updated psychedelic sound caught the attention of listeners who compared the band to R.E.M., Dream Syndicate, and Rain Parade, as well as Jefferson Airplane. With two of the members still attending Sutherland High School, the group released a six-song cassette in 1984, and later that same year they recorded and self-released their first full-length album, Green House, which was soon reissued by East Coast indie label Midnight Records. In 1986, the band recorded their second album, What Remains, which was produced by Tim Lee of the Windbreakers, but not long after the LP was released, percussionist Pat Thomas and guitarist Matt Kitchen left the group. Guitarist/vocalist Beth Brown and bassist Mitchell Rasor continued on as a two-piece, using the group's name for an acoustic EP, 1987's Painted Post. Thomas and Kitchen rejoined the band in time to record the 1989 album Sand Down the Moon, which was issued only by a small Greek label, Di Di Records; the same company also released A Journey Through the Past, a live album which focused on material which hadn't appeared on the group's studio sets. By 1990, the band had quietly parted ways, though a small trickle of posthumous releases continued to emerge -- a two-CD retrospective Broken Promise in 1993, an expanded reissue of A Journey Through the Past in 2002, and in late 2003 a remixed edition of Green House: 20th Anniversary Edition augmented with a bonus disc of live recordings. The new edition of Green House was released as the band announced they were at work on a new album, featuring all four original members, which they hoped to release in 2004. ~ Jason MacNeil and Mark Deming, Rovi

Transformational Learning: Engaging Education in a Global World
You are invited to join our engaging and reflective conversations on "Transformational Learning" as part of the larger 2011 International Institute for SoTL Scholars and Mentors (formerly the CASTL Summer Institute). Fostering transformational learning is about teaching for change; as originally introduced by Mezirow, transformative learning is the process by which we call into question our taken for granted frames of reference so that they may generate beliefs and opinions that will prove more true or justified to guide action. Transformational education has since become "a movement that encourages the recovery and development of much of the academy as a liberating and capacity-building environment" (Palmer & Zajonc, 2010, p. vii).
This year's theme therefore invites an exploration of: engaging traditional, returning, and non-traditional students in transformational ways to equip them to succeed in today's global world; engaging faculty in reflection as an agent of transformational learning; and engaging institutions of higher learning to challenge themselves to consider how "high impact" educational practices invite, require, or mandate an opportunity for transformative learning. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) serves as a useful lens by which to examine our taken for granted assumptions and aptly frames an exploration of educational practices capable of transforming our traditional, returning, and non-traditional students learning experiences, both inside and outside the traditional classrooms and laboratories.
The institute and this year's theme encourage inter- and multi-disciplinary conversations and invite a variety of disciplinary and methodological studies. Consider sharing your work as a scholar or joining the conversation as an active participant at the June Institute!

June 2011 Indie Next List
"This graceful memoir describes a true love affair with books. After losing her 46-year-old sister to cancer, Sankovitch embarks on a year of reading: one book every day for a full year. Her project, complete with daily book reviews, becomes an ongoing conversation with her sister and provides insight into her own past and contact with bibliophiles across the world. This is the best description of the power of books that I have ever encountered!"
— Caitlin Doggart, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Chatham, MA
Caught up in grief after the death of her sister, Nina Sankovitch decided to stop running and start reading. For once in her life she would put all other obligations on hold and devote herself to reading a book a day: one year of magical reading in which she found joy, healing, and wisdom.
With grace and deep insight, Sankovitch weaves together poignant family memories with the unforgettable lives of the characters she reads about. She finds a lesson in each book, ultimately realizing the ability of a good story to console, inspire, and open our lives to new places and experiences. A moving story of recovery, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is also a resonant reminder of the all-encompassing power and delight of reading.
Praise For…
"The beauty of her project lies in seeing how books intertwine with daily life, how very much they affect our moods, interactions, and, especially important for Sankovitch, how we recover and process our memories….She makes reading seem accessible, relaxing, inspiring, fun."
-Los Angeles Times
"Anyone who has ever sought refuge in literature will identify with Tolstoy and the Purple Chair."
-O, The Oprah Magazine
"Sankovitch's memoir stands as a tribute to the power of books to enrich our daily lives."
-Christian Science Monitor
"This graceful memoir describes a true love affair with books."
-Boston Globe
"A beautifully fluid, reflective, and astute memoir that gracefully combines affecting family history with expert testimony about how books open our minds to 'the complexity and entirety of the human experience.' Sankovitch's reading list in all its dazzling variety is top-notch."
"[Tolstoy and the Purple Chair] digs deep into that near-mystical connection between a reader and an author—that startling feeling that you are channeling someone you have never met...A gripping and inspiring book."
-Connecticut Post
"What Sankovitch has accomplished in her first book is not only to celebrate the transformational, even healing, powers of reading, but to give the reader a feeling of reading those books as well, through the eyes of an astute reader."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Her deeply moving memoir artfully intertwines her immigrant family's history with the universal themes of hope, resilience, and memory. Tolstoy and the Purple Chair celebrates not only the healing power of literature but its ability to connect us to the best of ourselves — and each other."
-American Way
"[An] entertaining bibliophile's dream…Sankovitch's memoir speaks to the power that books can have over our daily lives. Sankovitch champions the act of reading not as an indulgence but as a necessity, and will make the perfect gift from one bookworm to another."
-Publishers Weekly
"Nina Sankovitch has crafted a dazzling memoir that reminds us of the most primal function of literature—to heal, to nurture and to connect us to our truest selves."
-Thrity Umrigar, author of The Space Between us
"In Tolstoy and the Purple Chair, her affectionate and inspiring paean to the power of books and reading, Sankovitch gracefully acknowledges that her year of reading was an escape into the healing sanctuary of books, where she learned how to move beyond recuperation to living."
"Tolstoy and the Purple Chair will transport you to a time before texts and tweets. Through the stories of her own family, Nina Sankovitch shows how books have the power to refresh, renew, and even heal us. I loved this memoir."
-Julie Klam, author of You Had Me at Woof
"Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is original, uplifting and very moving: a unique celebration of life, love and literature."
-S. J. Bolton, author of Now You See Me
"[A] brilliant and heartwarming book."
-Ventura County Star
"An original and touching…account of one woman's lifelong affinity for books and her attempt to channel that affinity to deal with her grief after her sister dies. Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is an understated but moving story about the effects of a 'year of magical reading.'"
-The Dartmouth
"Tolstoy and the Purple Chair masterfully weaves beloved and sometimes surprising books into central events in the writer's life. There is much to learn from this moving book. Sankovitch writes with intelligence and honesty, leading us to respond in a similar manner."
-Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, author of One Amazing Thing
"Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is a must-read for anyone who adores books. It is also a primer on the healing power of taking time off to grieve by immersing oneself in a revered activity."
-The Book Bully
"Tolstoy and the Purple Chair is an absolutely lovely account of the healing power of literature."
-Devourer of Books
"Sankovitch's account works well because she uses her reading list to jump off into topics that are tangential, yet intriguing and often important."
-Buffalo News
"A beautifully paced look at how mindfulness can affect the psyche."
-Shelf Awareness (starred review)
"[Tolstoy and the Purple Chair] offers timeless wisdom, is uplifting and has a powerful message."
"She is adept at stitching together musings about the books she is reading with memory and narrative from her own life."
-The Christian Century
"What is best in Tolstoy and the Purple Chair, however, is not the author's literary criticism, but the way in which she blends her accounts of her reading with the story of her family and with broader human concerns."
-Smoky Mountain News

Devan Dubnyk
Jonathan Willis
February 26 2011 11:34PM
Over 24 games played this season, Devan Dubnyk has posted a 0.910 save percentage and that has driven an 8-8-7 record on a woeful Oilers team. That performance has given him a leg up on basically every other goaltender in the system, as his competition (Khabibulin, Deslauriers) have struggled since the opening puck drop of 2010-11.
Is it a mirage?
Perhaps, perhaps not. There is, however, a disturbing trend in Dubnyk's last 10 games that combined with his 2009-10 performance should raise questions:
- Last 10: 0.890 SV%
- Previous 14: 0.922 SV%
- Career: 0.901 SV%
There are all sorts of ways to look at the data, and by considering the 2010-11 season as a whole and ignoring Dubnyk's 2009-10 numbers, we get the impression he's a quality NHL goaltender. Laying the numbers out the way I have here, it's easy to get the idea that Dubnyk is a 0.900 SV%-quality goaltender who had a run of about a dozen games where he caught fire.
Let's try it another way. The following chart shows five-game rolling averages from the start of Dubnyk's career; i.e. each data point after the initial five games is Dubnyk's average performance over the last five contests:
That red line represents a save percentage of 0.911 – the average for an NHL starter. Dubnyk started the year well above that line but in the last 20 games has spent more time below than above it. His overall numbers haven't suffered that badly simply because he had such a great start.
To go back to the question posed at the opening: is Dubnyk's 0.910 SV% a mirage? Is he a lousy goalie on a hot streak or a blue-chipper on a lousy team? I don't honestly know the answer. Projecting goaltenders is like witchcraft, except without the danger of burning at the stake.
I do know this: Dubnyk's overall numbers don't tell the story of how he has played recently, and like a few other young goaltenders he will probably get the benefit of the doubt based on that early run. Certainly that's the most sensible course of action for the Oilers: Dubnyk's a young player they probably don't have a great read on, the team's going nowhere this year and it's not like Khabibulin's been anything special. I just wouldn't be willing to count on him, yet.
FIRST post first time commentor!!!
I really hope the OIL run the gauntlet with Dubnyk and give him an honest shot. So far he has proven that he can hold his own for a young squad with porous defence. Dubnyk deserves the opportunity to gain more time in the crease and here is hoping next season is more of 50/50 split with Khabbi.
February 26 2011, 11:39PM
Welcome to the party!
Thanks, I'm a long time reader, right from DAY 1 actually!!! Just scared to tap the keyboard I guess... which is a shock cause I'm usually not one without an opinion. I just find too many people on here get waayyy to ignorant to call one persons thought's down or to elevate their own opinions.
February 26 2011, 11:51PM
Until we have a solid starter, we are going to have a rough go at it. From what we've seen, no one in the system seems to have the skills to be a goaltender on a championship team. I hope Dubnyk proves me wrong.
I don't have any data, but he seems to be lights out one night and a sieve the next. I like Dubnyk, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and blame it on inexperience. Like the general sentiment, I hope we see what he can do in this final quarter.
February 27 2011, 12:41AM
Is Dubnyk one of those Oilers who the fans think is better than he actually is? Goaltending is more urgent now for this squad than d-men
Hard to know exactly what we have in Doobie with such a crap team in front of him. If this was a playoff calibre team, those stats would be improved. But on the flipside, he hasnt been good enough to steal games and make this a better team either. Id give him a chance but have a plan in the offseason to bring in someone better than Khabi (ship him back to Siberia)
February 27 2011, 12:56AM
I think he is a great goalie. Imagine how well he would do for himself if the Canucks defence was infront of him instead of the Oilers defence. He would be like the Niemi of the playoffs last year. Have a good surrounding cast and DD will be that goalie for a reasonable price tag along with quality goaltending. I was very sceptical of the move the Oil managment did sending JDD down instead of DD but after watching more of DD this year I like him better than JDD. He seems calm and poised and with a quality team around him he is good enough to ride there coat tails.
I think the common trend we are going to see in the nhl is get a good enough goalie for cheap. The (last years)Neimi, Boucher, or Anderson type stoppers. It will go alot farther than having a Louongo or Lundquvist type contract weighing down a cap riddled team and with how the Oilers are drafting alot of there top end prospects are going to deserve those huge contracts and if the Oil have so much tied into a high priced goalie it will ultimately hurt us I believe. DD wont be asking for alot of money in his career but he is strong enough to get wins. They may not be pretty but they will be wins.
I am also not saying DD is our clear cut starter either.
February 27 2011, 01:10AM
Also first time commenting, long time lurking...
I know you're trying to point out a "trend" in the last little while, but basically all you've got there for your effort is a graph that supports the definition of an average being the central tendency of a range of values.
Given the relatively small total number of games on the chart (which keep in mind represents a rookie goaltender still playing backup somewhat inconsistently on a 30th place team), I don't see any cause for alarm.
Until the recent 3 game winning streak, the Oil were playing some of their most banal hockey of the year too. How much of the occasional drop below .900 in his last 10 games can even be laid solely on Dubnyk?
February 27 2011, 02:24AM
build better defense and get dudes who can play smart hockey and that save % will go up even more. its tough when tards and posers are trying to play hockey in front of you.
February 27 2011, 05:27AM

~...what's to say putting a persons' thoughts down AND elevating their own opinion at the same time isn't fun?~... here's something to cogitate on...don't be surprised if you get crapped on when some people, you'll know who they are soon enuf, wake up this morning to see that you've squandered the life changing, mind altering opportunity to FIST !!!!
that's when you'll see how scared you are tapping on your keyboard...
cheerio & have a great time
February 27 2011, 06:37AM
...Being as we're saddled with our goalie for another 2 years and it just seems like an eternity cuz maybe it is...both my eye balls are bleeding watching him...in the link to the piece on young goalies and their efforts to be starters, the author eludes to the idea that empirical data is better proved & good in these cases when the goalie has faced 2000 plus shots...which in some cases is a full goalie type season with a much larger number of starts...Grant Fuhr for instance faced 2000 shots a season a couple times with the Oilers & once or so with St.Louis but hardly ever got north of the .900 SV%...yes he had the scoring machine in front of him but only one HOFer on the blue which might explain the low-ish SV%...with Dubnyk and i know the game's changed a ton since the glory days...what's to say if he actually gets 50+ starts minimum next year and posts near and mostly above 900... he's kinda battle tested now with this crappy team in front of him... shouldn't the witchcraft factor be a non-issue by then so we can finally call him the starter by the fall of the 2012-13 season? ...BUT if he fades next year and maybe consistently stays under the 900, we should know by the half way point of the season and only if he gets the majority 3 to 1 start split with our goalie. ...is that when he's toast or are there more factors [barring injury] to consider.
February 27 2011, 06:42AM
Interesting article statistics wise. I was at the game on Friday and saw something else in that in Edmonton v. St. Louis game - that he is regressing back to his more scrambly style. When he is playing well, he seems much more compact in his movements, aggressive, and looks confident with his angles.
It was apparent on Friday that this was not the case.
I know that he spent a lot of the off season working on angles - myabe its time to revisit this issue again?
February 27 2011, 06:49AM
I watch good teams like St.Louis and they dont allow any one to have clear lanes to shoot.Same with Vancouver even Calgary. the front of our net is a open range were other teams can place the puck on a tee.I hope our team will develop a little better defensive play.
A positive - Dubnyk is signed for next year, allowing more evaluation (that word isn't banned yet is it??).
This eliminates the possibility of a bad contract offered to him in the summer as RFA when the sample size may be too small on which to base it.
February 27 2011, 07:23AM
i think it was the word 'assess' or any derivative of the word 'assess' that's banned...
or was it 'the process' ?
Interesting indeed. So the jist I have gotten the last year - Khabby had to play in front of a crap team and loses alot so he " is too old, a drunk, washed up, contract sucks, etc, etc," and Dubnyk should play more cuz he is better. Remember the saying " careful what you ask for "? The fact is that any goalie's #'s would be down on this team. Don't look up because reality is about to fall on everyone's head. We need to improve our defence before we take ANY steps forward!!! Plain and simple!
February 27 2011, 08:13AM
Interesting article JW. Is there any data showing that Dubnyk's SV% tends to be higher if he plays consecutive games? (does he perform better as a starter than a backup?)Having never played the position I can`t say for certain but I would guess that goaltenders need to find a rhythm before they can play to their full potential. I live in Vancouver so my knowledge about all things Canucks is unfortunately extensive. Luongo is notorious for struggling in October (and May for that matter but I digress). Then, like clockwork, his game turns around in November after he gets the feel for the game back. What I`m saying is I hope they give Dubey the vast majority of starts from here on in. It`s the only way to know what we`ve got.

I'm one of the few that is happy for the way the Oilers have handled Dubnyk this season. Most people, have been demanding more games for him. The Oilers picked his spots and allowed him to have success on an unbelievably poor defensive team. He can go into next year feeling decent about his first full years performance. He's going to need this years success to fall back on when he starts getting more games next year.

Thanks, I'm a long time reader, right from DAY 1 actually!!! Just scared to tap the keyboard I guess... which is a shock cause I'm usually not one without an opinion. I just find too many people on here get waayyy to ignorant to call one persons thought's down or to elevate their own opinions.
~please provide stats to back up your claim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~
Personally I think it is unfair to compare a Goaltender to the league average when he clearly has well below average defence in front of him.
The oilers are probably the highest event team in the NHL this year. I don't have any stats to back this up but one would guess that the oilers have given up more high quality scoring chances than the average NHL team.

As i mentioned a couple months ago it looks like Devan may have been much better off playing 40-50 games in Oklahoma. Nothing wrong with having Khabby play 60 games and Gerber 20 games up here for this season and allow Dubnyk more time/less important rubber. The Khabby vs Dubnyk debate is just one of a few needless noises going on this year. It does make for some interesting poo flinging matches on here though, which is a bonus......no?
Leighton & Niemi proves that you don't need a Broduer to be a contender...
As for Edmonton's miserable defence, they allow 31.7 shots against per game which puts them 21st in the league.
They're bad, but I don't think they're so bad so as to totally warp Dubnyk's SV% number. Goalies in places like Colorado, Anaheim, Florida and Atlanta have to put up with similar shelling.
Where on your chart did Ryan Whitney get injured? Might offer some insight, no?
Watching Dubnyk gives a better impression of what he is capable of. Very positional and a good athlete. Tom Barrasso was similar but more flashy and Kolzig was also similar but had a temper. All were big goalies and in the case of Kolzig took time to develop.
Dubnyk is doing fine and I would suggest games like St.Louis where his numbers stunk really didn't show how well he played. The bad thing with goalie stats on this team is that the quality of shots against are usually high.
