Lilith is getting upset at being left off the human "Out of Africa" genotree.
All male lineages can be traced to a supposed "Adam and Eve" that once lived in South East Africa. That is to say all Human DNA can be traced back to two single individuals with origins in Africa that has been dubbed by scientists as "Adam" and "Eve". However, Female or mDNA is substantially older than Adam's. Meaning it is possible for traces of Mother's DNA to be traced back farther than Father's. yDNA mutates at a faster rate, goes extinct or disappears at a faster rate; dying at the root rather than at the branches, so to speak, which renders various groups of humans more and more genetically distinct.
With that in mind we come back to the plight of Lillith. I refer to her as Lillith drawing upon the Ancient mythologies of the Middle East which tell of a mysterious "first wife" of Adam…. There is solid evidence that humans have evolved from two diverse groups. They were probably once a single group, however any genetic evidence that they evolved from a single group is now irretrievably lost to genetic drift. The dispersian pattern of the descendants of the two groups demonstrate widely diverse origins. The first group of humans (Adam and Eve) can be confirmed to have originated "Out of Africa." However, Lillith's group [The X factor] appears to have had an Atlantic origin. And although some scientists labor intensively to "prove" an African origin based on the established pattern of Adam and Eve, the pattern of inheritance makes it difficult for such a confirmation to emerge. The patterns of inheritance are too isolated. The dispersal pattern clearly shows haplotype X to have been a North Western Atlantic modal type.
Haplotype X1 appears to have originated prior to the great ice age in the North Western Atlantic. From its center of origin it dispersed relatively uniformly throughout both North America and Europe, and the Levant prior to the onset of the great Ice Age. Haplotype X2 appeared as a subtype either during the ice age and did not have time to disperse as with Haplotype X1.
Although scientists labor intensively to prove an "Out of Africa" origin… and even go so far as to suggest its origin in South East Asia (as a result of branching from Haplotype N); the ultimate origin remains a mystery with experts unable to arrive at a consensus. That Haplotype X2 appears in widely isolated pockets (North East America, and the Aegean/Black Sea Region) is likely the result of migration either overland (via river systems) or by ancient seafarers. Modern genetic studies show that a single haplotype with widely separated pockets only occurs as the result of population bottlenecks that occur as a result of migration or cataclysmic occurances and supports the pre-ice age theory of separation of a parent civilization into eastern and western groups by an ice age (20,000-10,000 years ago). X2 demonstrates a normal dispersal pattern in North American, however the isolated pocket of X2 in the Black Sea region could only have originated as the result of a population bottleneck caused by post glacial migratory relocation by an isolated genetically distinct group of people. Today the Haplotype X can be found primarily in the Altaic Mountains around Bashkus and Chulca, among the Druze, and among the North American Nuuchahnulth
Scientific logic then would lead us to conclude that both X1 and X2 originated prior to the Ice Age but that haplotype X2 was divided as a result of ecological or cataclysmic events during of immediately following the ice age (8,000-4,000 BC).
In order to identify the tribes and people whose heritage displays the mysterious X factor. We need to first identify those associated with this inheritance and then analyze their histories and mythologies for clues with regard to their common origins. The ancient peoples with their roots in Northern Africa, the Fertile Crescent and the Black Sea were the Parthians, Greeks, Hittites, Assyrians, and Haburites. Among these tribes are those whose mDNA still carries the legacy of the X haplotype. Embedded in the mythologies and legends of these groups are the clues and distant racial memories of this event.
1) Zoroastrian accounts of pre-ice age civilization, the ice age which destroyed it and man's retreat into an extensive cave system to survive the event.
2) Plato's account of the naval power of Atlantis prior to its fall and the cataclysmic events which likely contributed to the onset of the ice age. (Extensive Vulcanism)
3) Areyanic mythologies (preserved in the Gaelic) of the Fomorians
4) Ancient Greek myths regarding the Elysium Fields [Land of Light], man's triumph over the elements (Gods vs Titans).
5) Gothic Legends of the War of Vesosis [Zeus] and Tanausis [Titans] which was a prediluvian battle that is often misidentified with the battle of Troy or other later battle.
6) Aztec myths (Originally a North American People): Life at Tamoanchan (the legendary origin of all civilizations); Worship of Atlatonan/Atlatonin) – goddess of the coast; Escape from martial law from Chicomostoc, "the place of the seven caves" [The first migration], The southward journey to Mexico [The second migration, 1035 CE]
7) Haburitic/Mesopotamian stories of Lillith and Adam
8) Egyptian records of the Tainite Kings and the Bubastis Flood.
4) The biblical account of Noah
5) Assyrian account of Gilgamesh
7) The confirmation in written record of ancient Mesopotamian trade with the mysterious land of Dilmun/Telmun whose climate required the consumption of Mesopotamian wool. The location of this land is purely speculative at this time.
There are many many more myths globally which I could cite but the bibliography is lengthy and I only want to show that the racial memory of Lilith's homeland as well as the events contributing to its demise and subsequent migrations there from are far from being regional isolates. Suffice it to say that the genealogical and legendary records both support the appearance of X2 in the two isolated regions as the result of population bottlenecks during or shortly following the ice-age. That both haplogroups appear on both continents is consistent with the theory of a wide-spread pre-ice age Northern Hemospheric (Atlantian) civilization followed by subsequent eastern and western migrations by isolated post glacial X2 groups following a series of floods and lakeburst "events".

Achillius the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Larissa
Document Actions
May 15
Saint Achillius was one of the 318 God-bearing Fathers who were present at the First Ecumenical Council; after returning to Larissa he cast down many pagan temples, delivered many from the demons, and raised up churches to the glory of God. He reposed about the middle of the fourth century.
Apolytikion of Achillius, Abp. Of Larissa in the Fourth Tone
A model of faith and the image of gentleness, the example of your life has shown you forth to your sheep-fold to be a master of temperance. You obtained thus through being lowly, gifts from on high, and riches through poverty. Achilles, our father and priest of priests, intercede with Christ our God that He may save our souls.
Kontakion of Achillius, Abp. Of Larissa in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
Let us all praise with hymns and songs divine Achillius, the brightly shining and unwaning star of all the world, who is Larissa's unsleeping and loving shepherd. Let us cry to him: Since thou hast boldness with the Lord, do thou rescue us from every raging storm of life, that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, O Father Achillius.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick was set to deliver his final State of the Commonwealth speech Tuesday night. But it's been delayed due to the snow.
Patrick laughed off the suggestion from a reporter that he postponed the speech because he's going soft.
"No, I don't think so," Patrick said. "But I think it's probably not a good idea to have people ski or snowshoe to the State of the Commonwealth."
The speech usually draws a big crowd to Beacon Hill and Patrick says he was worried about folks being on the road.
"We'll be able to do this in another day or two," he said. "It gives me some time to tighten the language."
This will be Patrick's final state of the Commonwealth speech. He is expected to tout his record from the past seven years and outline an agenda for his remaining months in office.
Patrick aides say they haven't scheduled a new time for the speech yet. The governor still plans to release his budget proposal Wednesday.

A Most perfect Fit
"I'm not a great fan of shoes, but this pair is the most comfortable I have worn in a long time. The shoe seems to mold to my feet so I don't have any annoying areas that causes pain or discomfort. I bought it back in 2013 and if it ever wears out, I'd buy another pair as long as they are still available."

Posted on 08/17/2013 2:19:28 AM PDT by expat1000
Revenge can stink. One husband is accused of causing a big stink by pouring manure in his wifes hot tub.
The 64-year-old man of Quebec, Canada is facing charges after he filled his wifes hot tub and stairs with manure after being served with divorce papers.
....When police arrived to the scene, officers observed the man in a tractor dumping manure into the hot tub. ...
(Excerpt) Read more at yourjewishnews.com ...
It could be worse.
Manure! I hate Manure!
It doesn't say what animal the manure came from. For all we know it was human, not bovine
yeah and?
I'm guessing he never brought roses.
"by pouring manure in his wifes hot tub."
Unless they were living in separate homes, how is it not "their" hot tub at this point??
Whatever hurt happens in a marriage or other relationship, let it go. If your rage becomes this awful, remember we are judged by the same standards we judge others. If we forgive, we can ask Christ to forgive us. If we do not forgive (even those who have hurt us), then we cannot ask Christ to forgive us.
Just returning the shxt she gave him...
That was my question too.
"Bess, couldn't you get the President to say 'fertilizer'?" the woman complained. Replied the First Lady: "Heavens, no. It took me 25 years to get him to say 'manure.'"
Those wacky Canadians
"If your rage becomes this awful, remember we are judged by the same standards we judge others."
Having just gone through a divorce; and hearing many stories of others awful experiences; I find this pretty funny actually!
No one was hurt. She will have nice flowers in the future with his gift of fertilizer.
One would have tought he would be out celebrating his "liberation", considering the mindset in liberal circles.
The judge should tell them there's still hope and they need to work it out.
In 'WIFE'S' hot tub?
Seeing as he had just been 'served', would the hot tub be HIS still? Can't he do what he wants with HIS hot tub?
Exactly, and that they should work through their cr*p.
Canada non-Ping!
One coworker was gleeful about his acts of hateful revenge.
1) A full bottle of Superglue in locks (office doors, car doors, house doors, equipment ignition switches).
2) Dropping tro and defacation on the glass doorway to the office he couldn't get into because they went to a card reader entry and he didn't have a card... and needed to use the restroom (obviously).
3) Fill up the underside of a car door handle or pickup tailgate latch with axlegrease.
There are many others... but one thing that he explained (with glee) was how when he was a juvenile delinquent and a neighbor pissed him off, he would buy a whole bale of peat moss and under cover of darkness, dump the whole thing in their pool... plugging up their filter and wrecking the filter pump... and it was a 2 week long affair to get rid of all the peat moss.
One coworker was gleeful about his acts of hateful revenge.
You work with someone from "Occupy Wallstreet?"
No, former coworker, and he's a union equipment operator guy... that make sense? ...Probably moreso than fagooty OWS metroqueers in hipster glasses and skinny jeans.
Apparently, he felt the need to raise a stink.
About that low speed chase.....................why?
I get the feeling that he wasn't thinking too clearly at that point.
Anything happen to the sociopath?
At that point? lol
Brain cancer.
That'll show her

Chocolate Artisans
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - Valentine's Day is less than two days away and that means flowers, a card, and don't forget chocolate.
If you're looking for something extra special like hand-made, hand-decorated chocolates, you'd better hurry. We found a special chocolate shop that will definitely be sold out by Valentine's Day.
A small little shop on Main Street in Jonesborugh does a remarkable business. Just a list of the products they have to offer will drive your tastebuds, crazy and its all hand-made chocolate.
Spiced whiskey, white truffles, rosemary, passion fruit are just some of what's available; but the names don't match their looks. And the way things are going the shelves might be empty by Valentine's Day.
They've been getting ready for awhile. "About two weeks. We started about the first of February trying to gear up and I don't think we did enough," Rob Parks with Earth and Sky Confections says.
And that has brought a steady stream of customers in, because once it's gone, it's gone. "It takes three days to make a batch of chocolate so we're pretty much where we are at this point. When we sell out, we sell out," Parks said.
And that's brought customers back time and time again over the five years that they've been in business. "I give these away anytime there's a special treat, school. I want to give teachers, instructors, friends. I come here and get it," customer Shana Payne says.
But the little boxes she is buying are supposed to be for Valentine's Day, if they last that long. "They love them all. They'll be gone in two minutes when we get home," she laughed.
That's kind of quick considering all of the time and effort it took to create these delicious pieces for the "choco-holic" that lives in us all.

Jason Gregor
June 07 2013 03:27PM
Yesterday on the TEAM 1260, Oilers GM Craig MacTavish told Mark Spector, that "in an ideal scenario" Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff would be traded. I believe the timing is right for the Oilers and their two longest serving (consecutively) players to part ways, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bitter divorce.
Horcoff has been vilified by the majority of fans in Edmonton the past four seasons, mainly because the Oilers overpaid him. I've never understood why fans were so angry at Horcoff for agreeing to let his employer overpay him. How many of you would say, "I don't think I'm worth that, I think you should pay me less?"
Horcoff's on-ice performance and effort never deserved the venom he received. He wasn't offensive enough to live up to his $5.5 million cap hit, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good player. In 2006, Horcoff had 73 points in the regular season and added 19 more during the Oilers run to the Cup. He was the Oilers #1 centre, and he was good enough to outscore and shutdown Ryan Getzlaf and Joe Thornton.
Horcoff was an integral piece to that magical 2006 season, the only season in the last 21 years that Oilers fans were able to enjoy a long playoff run. That should never be forgotten. It is easy to rip him and say he's junk, brutal, part of the losing culture etc, but he was also a major part of the most fun hockey season many of you have ever experienced.
Now is the right time for Horcoff to go. He's mentally drained. You could see it in his play, and hear it in his words. Nine of Horcoff's 12 seasons in Edmonton were void of playoffs, and outside of the 2006 run, the Oilers were never truly competitive. Combine all the losing with the constant negativity from the majority of the fan base and I can understand why he'd be mentally exhausted.
That's not to say Horcoff is innocent. He wasn't a good captain in 2011/2012. He admitted he didn't accept his role, and that is inexcusable, especially with many young, impressionable teammates. While he tried to rediscover his drive and passion for the Oilers this season, I don't think he was ever able to get it back.
Horcoff currently has a no-movement clause that becomes a limited no-trade clause on July 1st, but he's told the Oilers he'd be willing to waive it. He sold his house last month, and when it went on the market I didn't expect him to return to Edmonton.
Horcoff turns 35 in September and he's in the twilight of his career. He'd be a solid 3rd line centre on a good team, and I suspect when he's traded he'll get a boost of energy. A change of scenery will do him some good, and it will also help the Oilers to have a new, vibrant, young leader in their dressing room.
I'll remember Horcoff as a guy who was always willing to talk to me. He gave insightful answers and you never questioned his work ethic on the ice. I wish he would have done more in the community, because I believe the captain of the Oilers needs to be a leader in that department. The citizens of Edmonton love the Oilers and support them, almost to a fault, regardless of how bad the on-ice product is. The players should never take that for granted, and it is up to the captain to be involved in local charities. Ethan Moreau, Jason Smith and Doug Weight did a lot of that, and if I had one criticism of Horcoff, it would be that he should been more active in that role.
But overall, I thought he was a solid player and a good guy who called Edmonton home for a decade. I hope he gets a chance to play on a competitive team again.
The time is right for Horcoff and the Oilers to part ways, but he doesn't need to be railroaded out of town by the fans, media or the Oilers. He should be grateful for the opportunity Edmonton gave him, and fans should be thankful for the wonderful ride in 2006. All parties benefitted from that, and now both sides could benefit from a trade.
For the past decade Hemsky has been the most exciting player on the Edmonton Oilers. For many, he will be remembered as a guy who didn't reach his full potential, but I loved watching him play. Up until the arrival of Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov, the only player who could bring Oiler fans out of their seats on a nightly basis was Hemsky.
He was a joy to watch. He was the only Oiler who could consistently beat defenders one-on-one, and for most of his tenure he had to face the opposition's best defenders. He was fearless, never shied away from contact and that was the main reason he missed 189 games during his 10 years in Edmonton.
Hemsky is one of the most naturally gifted players in the NHL, and I firmly believe, if he worked on his game like the great players do, he could have been a dominant players. I wish he would have worked on his one-timer and shooting after practice, but he didn't. While you wish he would have worked harder after practice, it would be incorrect to suggest he didn't play hard during the games.
Hemsky was a baller. I'll always remember Ethan Moreau, who stayed in the NHL on pure guts and effort, telling me this about Hemsky. "He goes into areas I never would. He's not scared of anyone, and that's why sometimes he gets hit hard, because he doesn't back down."
Hemsky turns 30 in August, and despite coming off two unproductive seasons, I believe he still has value in the eyes of opposing GMs. Today's game is all about speed. If you don't have speed you won't last, and Hemsky is one of the most underrated skaters in the game. Don't believe for a second that Hemsky doesn't have value across the league. Teams have been trying to acquire him for the past few seasons. He'll bring in a decent return.
Hemsky can fly, and few players can skate as fast while controlling the puck. He hasn't lost a step, and when he lands in another city don't be surprised to see him score 55-60 points; if he stays healthy. Hemsky's shoulders are finally healthy, and his broken foot has healed. I think it grossly premature to suggest Hemsky is done being an effective player.
It would be easy to chastise Hemsky and applaud his upcoming departure out of Edmonton, but I won't. Hemsky wasn't perfect, but since he arrived in Edmonton in the fall of 2002 he's been the most electrifying, and at times frustrating, player Oiler fans had the pleasure of watching.
Hemsky was never comfortable talking on the record. He didn't like doing interviews, but when we just sat down to shoot the breeze he was much more engaging. Hemsky grew up in Edmonton. He fell in love in Edmonton, and he always spoke highly of the city.
I remember running into Hemsky at a bar one night. We spent an hour talking about the Czech Republic and how I had to go visit Prague, but he also told me how much he liked Edmonton. I never brought it up. He was fired up that the city had a bad reputation. "This is a great place to play. Games are sold out, but off the ice it is a great place to be a young guy. You rarely have to pay for dinner or drinks and everyone loves hockey."
Hemsky went home to the Czech Republic every summer, but he also owned a house in Edmonton and he really liked the city. I liked Hemsky. I never knew him that well off the ice and never tried to push that issue, but I always appreciated his high-end skill.
However, just like Horcoff, I think all the losing has taken a toll on Hemsky. I think he is mentally tired of losing, and the time is right for him to move on. It is also the right time for the Oilers to move him, because they finally have some offensive depth on right wing with Eberle and Yakupov.
Rather than take the easy route and rip on Hemsky, I think many should realize that it is the right time to part ways. Both parties want it, and both parties benefitted from each other during the past decade.
It is time Oiler fans, and some media, stopped being "bad breaker uppers." We all recognize that Horcoff and Hemsky haven't been great the past two seasons, but they also had many good seasons. It would be a refreshing change that while we wait for their impending trades, people would acknowledge their accomplishments, both good and bad.
My favourite clip from Hemsky never came on the record. It happened in JJ Hebert and Pat Garland's (Oilers media relations) office. Hebert, Garland and I were talking about men's league hockey when Hemsky walked in the room. He listened to our conversation and when we were done he said, "When I retire, I can't wait to play men's league with my buddies back home; I'm going to dominate," he said with a grin and a laugh. He was serious.
Hemsky undresses NHL D-men, could you imagine him carving up men's league players. Yikes.

Both these guys have their redeeming qualities, to be sure Jason, and overall they were good Oilers. But it is time to move on.
As much as they were contributors for large parts of their careers as Oilers, they rightly or wrongly are (save 2006) going to be associated with continually crappy Oiler teams. And they bare those scars.
Let's thank them, wish them well ..... and turn the page.
@The Soup Fascist
I'm pretty sure Gregor said it is time to move on. Isn't that what the title of the article is.
How many of you would say, "I don't think I'm worth that, I think you should pay me less?"
Bobby Orr tore up his contract in Chicago when he realized he could not play at his former level. He said it wasn't fair to expect Chicago to pay when he couldn't deliver his end of the deal.
And Hemsky also told his agent to take less, to allow the team more room to sign other players (second last contract). The Oilers then signed Horcoff to his outrageous contract. I can't imagine how Hemmer has felt about that in the years since...
So, yes, there are guys who don't just grab for the huge (undeserved) overpay. And yes, fans do have the right to voice their displeasure when guys do not give full value for their contract.
Meh, anyone who complained about Horcoff's contract is odd. The team was never, ever hamstrung by the cap to bring players in. Horcoff was a good Oiler and should be remembered fondly.
I think Hemsky was just overhyped. Every year we kept hearing about how elite he was. If Hemsky was billed as just a decent scoring winger, I think fans would have let up on him a bit.
Having said all of that, I hope they both end up in the East as there is nothing more infuriating than watching old Oilers come back and get goals.
June 07 2013, 04:13PM
Hemsky should have been moved at the deadline.....
Having said that, everything you said about him is true Gregor. And if the Oilers organization had any savvy, they would create a wall of fame in the new arena where they could pay tribute to Oiler Greats like Hemmer and Smitty...guys who gave it all for the Copper and Blue and yet will never have a banner hanging in the rafters.
It's going to be great to see what Hemsky can do on another team.....I for one would pay good money to watch him play on a team like the Red Wings or the Habs.
June 07 2013, 04:15PM
Today the PA would never allow a player to "tear up his contract" because he wanted to take less.
June 07 2013, 04:17PM
Hemsky on Datsyuk's wing would be something to watch.
True. Although I'll bet Luongo wishes otherwise.
June 07 2013, 04:19PM
I guess I might be jumping the gun a little......any chance, given his popularity with the fans, that Smitty's number 94 does get raised to the rafters???
June 07 2013, 04:33PM
Horcoff is a typical 3rd line center and if it wasn't for his contract could net a similar something coming back. If the Oil agree to pick up some of his contract I see potential to get something of use back, but unlikely to be an upgrade.
Hemsky is much more problematic. A big contract for a guy for has been injured and unproductive for a number of years. A huge gamble for anyone interested. We'll see what happens here, but the Oil might have to take back someone else's problem to get rid of their own.
As Bob Mckenzie stated this morning, MacT announcing thing before any deals are in hand is really announcing a changing of the culture. The Oil will now be Hall, Eberle, Nuge etc's team this year.
With Horcoff on the way out this must increase Gagner's bargaining position.
I hope Hemsky gets to play with Ovechkin or Stamkos or some other savvy positional shooter with speed.
He deserves it after all he's given the Oilers over the years, without much skilled help to complement him. And without much recognition.
Good job Jason on pointing out the faults of Ales and Shawn, but without making them out to be villans. Their human and most of us all have qualities that would make fans/media howl in disgust.
I wish them both the best of luck and hope that the Oilers can get some useful pieces in return.
My biggest fear is that we trade away Hemsky and get nothing in return plus get stuck with half of his contract. He does have value to this team in my eyes and it would be a shame if we gave him away for late draft picks and other assorted garbage.
As for Horcoff that cap hit is just too high for a 3/4C. I fully expect Horcoff to be traded or bought out. Its time that the Young Guns take responsibilty for this team and I think that Horcoff needs to go for that to happen.
Yes over the span, they both served the team fairly well, [ not counting the last two years], but they also got paid well..so no tears please.
For god sakes, Gretz got traded in his prime. Not to mention some of the other great players that moved on from the Oilers.
Thats life in sports...
But MacT, has his work cutout trying to salvage some kind of a return on a deal.
Time for the kids to take over leadership and ownership of the team. Although they still need supporting cast in many areas.
June 07 2013, 05:16PM
I'm pretty sure Gregor said it is time to move on. Isn't that what the title of the article is.
Is it not permissible to agree with the bloggers occasionally?
June 07 2013, 05:18PM
Hemsky on Datsyuk's wing would be something to watch.
Do you think a player in return or the Red Wings first overall?
Would the Oilers be willing to eat 2.0 million of Hemsky contract?
I'm conflicted about the return but Detroit makes a lot of sense.
In some ways I can see Horcoff wanting to go back to Michigan.
June 07 2013, 05:19PM
I guess I might be jumping the gun a little......any chance, given his popularity with the fans, that Smitty's number 94 does get raised to the rafters???
With the exception of Al Hamilton the standard seems to be you need to be inducted into the HHOF first. Not sure Smytty is in that company.
June 07 2013, 05:39PM
Thank you, Shawn
Thank you, Ales
Thank you, Ryan
The Rodeo may change but the Cowboy never does.
Union boys always have jobs as long as they are under contract.No harm no foul.
Both men got to shake the Money Tree the Oilers planted for them here and the Fans watered,all is well.
What say we ask Pittsburg for a player swap?
Crosby for Hall,J Schultz,Horcoff,our 1st round pick next year.This is the last year I see Malkin and Sid able to stay together.Yes Malkin for the same players less the draft pick.
Bot should have been traded by timid Tambo at the trade deadline.
Along with Whitney, Pekham etc.
Glad to see MacT putting it out there at least. Hopefully he makes some good moves this summer.
I guess.. I'm on an island where Hemsky should stay on as an Oiler. If MacT is true to his words in the other departments of the team.. Then this club should be a competitive team.. Finally! Why get rid of him now?!?! LIKE BLARG!!!!!
If he was on a 3rd line role.. He would kill! why can't we have the best RW depth in the league?! Why can't we ever be the best at anything in Oilerville anymore.
We Will never win a Hemsky trade.. Maybe he is mentally tired, but so are the rest of us. Trying to pretend we're not the islanders of the west is very very hard to keep up!
June 07 2013, 06:02PM
The Oilers valiant captain was so committed to Edmonton he didnt even bother to move his family here and if anyone believes Hemsky played with anything broken other than maybe a fingernail I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would be interested in selling you.

I don't think you are on an island. I loved watching Ales play, too. Problem is does he fit as a 3rd line winger on a team with a lot of talent and almost no aggression, physical presence or defensive acumen among the forwards?
Hemsky could still dangle but was a turnover machine. I fully understand where you are coming from but he does not have the skill sets the Oilers need from a bottom six winger in the eyes of many. I don't think he was willing to re-invent himself. That is too bad.

If Horcoff and Hemsky are so tired of losing they could always try ummmm, ya know...winning!
It's a bit frustrating Hemsky never worked harder at his craft. He could turn defenders inside out on a semi-consistent basis but it would rarely end up in the back of the net. A lot of sizzle, not much substance.
June 07 2013, 06:45PM
A whole new era of Oiler hockey may soon be upon us.
Best wishes to Horcoff, Hemsky and Gagner. I'm happy to keep our do no wrong Smytty for another year. Perhaps with the new blood, he'll be recharged and has an opportunity to play with better linemates, like Horc and Hemmer may be with their new clubs.
With Gonchar going this afternoon for only a conditional 6th rounder, we know what Ryan Whitney is worth now. In a deep draft, i'd take a chance on another kid on a late round selection.
I would trade 7th pick and gagner for the 2nd from Florida I wonder if they would bite, I would go as far as offering ebs
I am sold on mackinnon He had the single most dominating memorial cup I ever remember
I hope this isn't a vendetta , revenge is sweet move . Last remnants of the club that let him down and led to his leaving the coaching ranks ? "Ideally they would be traded" makes me wonder if both just being bought out and nothing coming back in return . Railroaded ? Sorry , but something just doesn't seem right about this .

Pretty sure Gagner and the seventh overall doesn't get you close to the second overall pick in the draft! Edmonton would more likely have to trade this years plus next years, a roster player and a prospect.
I for one think that Mac T can get descent returns for both of these guys. Every team has guys with bad contracts or guys in the same boat as these two. In need of a change of scenery. If we are in need of bottom six forwards, then by all means we can get a couple of those guys for Horc and Hemmer.
What about a trade with Columbus for Dubinsky. Bad contract that Columbus wouldn't mind getting rid of(4.2 mil for 2 more years). He's more of that conventional bottom six guy that can play both left wing and center, plus he's 6'1 210lbs.
Assuming we do get rid of Horc and Belanger. What are we gonna do for centers on this team? We cant put Smitty on as our fourth line guy anymore. Is Smithson even a consideration anymore? Nuge will be out until Nov. Do we keep Belanger? In Mac T we trust.
The one thing that both horcoff and hemsky did that most won't recognize is that they both held up the roof for the younger guys to grow. Not that they did so perfectly but imagine what edmonton woulda been like without em =x.
How about looking at Teams looking to change the makeup now that there bounced out of the playoffs: SanJose? Pittsburgh? L.A./Chicago? Wash? Van? Ana? Isles? Rangers? Det? etc.
Long time reader and absolutely love this site. Here is a salute to all my ON fellow readers
$600 on the line. Haha
June 07 2013, 10:33PM
I was talking to a buddy about Smytty's number getting raised to the rafters. 94 will always be associated with Smyth. Who could possibly change that?
Anybody check up on Travis Dakin? I don't think he's doing very well.
Reading between the lines of MacT.. Could he be buying them out and replacing them and their $10.5M cap hit with other buyouts around the league ? Savvy bold move , and we could end up with more than just adequate replacements for them both , possibly even a third player of note . Might be better than trying to trade either one to be honest .
I feel bad for Hemsky, he needs the Oilers more than the Oilers need him....despite what his agent or the fans or reality tells him.
I'm hoping he says or does somehting stupid to ruin his trade value, plays out his last year as a "3rd line zone entry specialist" (I can't beleive i just quotes NewAgeSystem) Then takes a supreme discount and signs 2 years at 2 mill per. All the while finally accepting the need to change his game, and his stupid field hockey stick.
Horcoff's family has lived here every since he's been an Oiler.
His children were in school in Detroit, and when the season didn't start until late January they choose to keep them there rather than move them out of school.
Rip on people all you like, but at least be accurate about it, otherwise you look less than smart.
Here here.
June 08 2013, 07:21AM
Personally I would like to see Horcoff stay, sure he should hand the C over to Hall, but this team still needs veteran leadership and Horcoff still provides that. He's been through pretty much everything since he was drafted and would be the perfect 3rd/4th line center for the time being. Besides who else do the Oilers have in the system that can step in and take his spot? I'll be disappointed if he does get traded this summer.
Hemsky, package him with the 7th pick and a prospect or two for a 2nd line center.
Off topic: after watching the odd game in the playoffs, Seguin sure looks invisible when it matters....

Odds that Yak wears 10 next year if Horcoff makes his exit? Do numbers hold reverance among players where no one would want to step in and wear the captain's number right after he departs?
I'm asking for selfish reasons. I want a Yak jersey with Cyrillic name bar and I can't decide if I should get 10 or 64.
Also, Hemsky recently had a bad break up with his Edmontonian girlfriend (my buddy knows her sister) I think he'd like to leave
Seams like a change of scenery will be best for everyone involved,i hope they are both rejuvenated,and would love to see how they do in a play off race.
There's a part of me that wants to see Ales Hemsky go to a team like Detroit or Boston where he could be placed with the right mix of veterans and reach a point per game pace like say 20 goals 60 assists if he could stay healthy. I find it difficult to see a guy like Ales with similar career PPG as Ric Nash be so undervalued. In Edmonton we over valued him, cause his one on one skills were top 5 in the league. No one could turn multiple defenders inside and out on with simple crossovers and sublime puck movement.
The return on Ales has to make sense. if he could be used to move up in the draft into the top 5 or be traded for a top 9 two way forward with some offensive upside, I'll live with that. I hope he goes somewhere and makes us regret the day we traded him, and that we see him reach his potential.
I've only felt an attachment to Horcoff in 06'. Arguably our best forward behind Pisani. We will remember the faceoff wins, blocked shots, and leadership. But this was a second line center in his prime, who was carried by Hemsky for many years, and with a crafty agent who swindled a bad GM into a ridiculous contract. I wonder if he gives a portion to Ales every year, as a thank you. He never deserved the demonizing, but the reality was this team was never going to move ahead with a elite level contract being paid to a average 3rd or 4th liner.
Its nice to hear how much Hemsky liked Edmonton. As a transplant myself, I never understood people trashing the city unless they were complainers from BC or Ontario. Makes me go, why are we trading him again?
I agree 'Bushed', it would be special I think to see Hemmer play with veteran, skilled shooters to take advantage of his skills! With the right team I believe Hemmer has 3 or 4 quality, prime years left in his career & will put up exceptional numbers! I wish both these players all the best when they finally move on!
good points. Horcoff/his agent took advantage of KLowe's difficult situation at the time and milked it for all it was worth. I doubt it was Lowe saying: 'here, take 32 million'. it was Horcoff's agent saying: 'you can't get anyone to come here. if we walk you will be even worse off.'
his salary didn't handcuff the organization, and he was a solid player, but he did not live up to the salary he squeezed from the organization.
June 08 2013, 12:17PM
Horcoff's family has lived here every since he's been an Oiler.
His children were in school in Detroit, and when the season didn't start until late January they choose to keep them there rather than move them out of school.
Rip on people all you like, but at least be accurate about it, otherwise you look less than smart.
Why would he have them in school in Detroit in the first place if he lived in Edmonton?

In 2002, Honda changed the shape and face of an entire industry by introducing the AquaTrax™ F-12™ and AquaTrax F-12X™, the world's first four-stroke personal watercraft (PWC) and the first PWC to incorporate a turbocharger. Immediately, a tidal wave of praise inundated the AquaTrax, coming from all media.
Such a flood of compliments would have made Honda's engineers blush--if they hadn't been totally absorbed in designing the next model in the AquaTrax lineup. Named the AquaTrax R-12X, this newest PWC, as the X designates, takes full advantage of Honda's stellar 165-horsepower, 1235cc turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant. But now this remarkable engine powers an all-new two-passenger hull designed specifically for sporty, aggressive performance. As was the case with the F-12 and F-12X in the three-passenger category, the R-12X will be a revelation to PWC riders in the two-seater class.
Origins of Honda PWCs
Honda initiated PWC research in the 1980s, and R&D continued into the early 1990s. In 1996, a new generation of prototypes began to take shape, just as the entire industry reached an environmental crossroads. Honda could see the future was ripe for a total revolution in personal watercraft design; it was time to lead the way with an entirely new generation of PWCs that introduced enthusiasts to Honda's legendary reputation for quality.
It was only natural for Honda to build a series of four-stroke personal watercraft. As the world's acknowledged leader in four-stroke technology, Honda has earned enviable credentials for both exemplary engine performance and laudable emissions standards. The same spirit of industry-leading innovation that introduced the lean-burn CVCC Civic automobile engine way back in 1973 has been applied to Honda's clean-burn motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and power equipment--including a full-line of successful four-stoke outboard marine motors. This ongoing quest to shape the future of the internal combustion world with the seemingly incompatible goal of high performance with low emissions has been proven successful time and time again.
By designing products that have foresight, vision and low-emissions technology interwoven throughout the blueprints, Honda's engineers are able to build trend-setting machines that offer performance first, but always with an eye toward future environmental concerns. For example, six models in the 2003 motorcycle lineup already meet the 2008 emissions standards established by the California Air Resources board--five years ahead of schedule! And now, in similar fashion, Honda leads the way into the future of low-emissions, high-performance personal watercraft.
Taking it to the Next Level--with Quick Trim
Only one year after introducing its first PWCs, the three-passenger AquaTrax F-12 and turbocharged F-12X, Honda was ready to go to the next level. The new two-passenger R-12X not only makes use of the remarkable 165-horsepower AquaTrax liquid-cooled, turbocharged, DOHC 16-valve 1235cc four-cylinder four-stroke engine, but it also introduces to sport PWCs a feature usually reserved for racing: an adjustable quick trim system to control the attitude of the R-12X's bow. This ingenious system redirects the angle of the drive system's jet nozzle via a positive mechanical linkage system. By dialing in trim during take-off, the rider can bring the R-12X to planing speed from a standing start much quicker. In addition, actuating the quick trim allows the hull to grab the water and change direction much more quickly while turning aggressively--a big bonus for sport riding.
A New Hull Sets New Class Standards
Existing two-seat PWCs tend to be polarized; they are either agile with poor stability, or stable but bulky in size and feel. The new Honda R-12X, in turn, melds the best traits while bypassing the usual pitfalls: It is especially maneuverable, agile and tenacious in turns while also delivering exemplary stability.
Having lavished unprecedented amounts of time and research work on development of the AquaTrax F-12 and F-12X, Honda's engineers found themselves well along the path toward the sporty two-seater R-12X. They explained, "We had accumulated a deep baseline knowledge of hulls while designing the F-12 boats, and the sporty two-passenger model was the next logical step in our development process."
According to Lee Edmunds, manager of the Honda Press Department, "The way the R-12X handles, it's so agile it feels like it's race ready. At the same time, it's a very stable platform; it doesn't demand concessions in comfort or require unnatural riding techniques. In fact, the R-12X features a number of refinements that make it decidedly easy to live with."
Specifically, the handlebar shape and placement feel instantly familiar to anyone with even a passing knowledge of motorcycles, and the floorboards rise gently going aft to create supportive footwells, which are covered with an anti-slip material. These elements, along with a grippy material used on the seat cover, create a natural, ergonomically sound riding position for extra control at speed in rough water, as well as during relaxed cruising in smooth conditions.
Refinements Aplenty
In addition, convenience features abound, items normally reserved for larger, more luxurious craft. These thoughtful touches, many of which were introduced on the F-12 and F-12X, make this new, ultra-sporty R-12X a very pleasant partner to live with as well. As Popular Mechanics magazine observed last year, "The AquaTrax incorporates a host of neat features. An off-throttle steering system provides directional control when the throttle is closed and the bars are turned. A Limit Mode allows owners to restrict new riders to 4500 rpm. A handy lever on the left side of the fuselage slides from Forward to Reverse without a catch. By using this clever lever, I could back up, hold stationary against the Colorado River's current, or gently maneuver up to another boat with a deft touch."
Awe-inspiring power. Race-style agility. Excellent stability. Abundant conveniences. Quiet, clean running. By rolling all of these benefits into one stellar package, the new two-passenger AquaTrax R-12X simply creates a new class of its own.

Team Canada Athlete of the Month - Josh Howatson
January 2012
Date of birth: October 7, 1984
Height: 1m 98
Hometown: Victoria, B.C.
Pro team: Paris Volley
Position: setter.
Spike touch: 3m45
Setter Josh Howatson is in his third season with the Canadian national team. He initially joined the national team program in 2002 then returned in 2010 helping Canada to a berth at the world championships.
Howatson started playing volleyball at age nine through the Victoria club programs and by age 14 he had decided to put all his sporting focus into volleyball. That was a great decision as he went on to a spectacular university career at Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C. He credits a desire to improve at least one aspect of his play everyday as a key to his success. That willingness to get better is the best advice he can give youngsters who aspire to play the sport at the highest level.
In 2007 he was named the CIS male athlete of the year and the player of the year in men's volleyball as TWU placed third at the national championships. He graduated in Christianity and culture at TWU and hopes to pursue a career in an international related field following his volleyball career.
In the winter season, he currently plays professionally for Paris Volley. Howatson has played for four different teams in his pro career and a highlight was in 2010 when he earned Most Valuable Player honours as he led his team to winning the King's Cup (Copa del Rey) Spanish League title.
For now he wants to continue his professional career overseas and help Canada progress on the international scene not only this season but at least until the 2016 Olympic year. Howatson says the highlight of his career was representing Canada at the 2010 worlds which included and upset victory over world number-five Serbia.
Howatson's younger brother Marc is also a national team prospect.

Solar Thermal Rebate
California Solar Initiative Thermal - Business
Step 10 Non-Residential Update: Due to an increase in application submittals for the Non-Residential CSI program, a waitlist has been established. As of October 1, 2014, all new projects will be addressed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note, that projects on the waitlist are not guaranteed an incentive.
New applications submitted to the Non-Residential CSI-Thermal Electric and Solar Water Heating (SWH) programs will also be put on the waitlist since they share the General Market Non-Residential incentive.
Going solar can be rewarding. Installing an eligible solar water heating system at your business can help you save on your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint. First, install a qualifying system; then, take advantage of California Solar Initiative Thermal rebates and bask in the savings.
Thermal Incentives
Warming up to solar water heating at your business or multifamily complex? The California Solar Initiative Thermal Program offers you rebates and tax credits for installing an eligible solar water heating system, which captures the warmth of the sun, transfers that heat to water, and works with your conventional water heater to help it use less energy. If you're thinking of making your business more green, CSI Thermal program rebates can help offset the cost of heating water at your business or multifamily complex.
How Incentives Work
Rebates are available to businesses through the statewide California Solar Initiative Thermal program to help lower costs for the installation of electric and propane-displacing solar water heating systems, which can save you energy and money over the long term.
The rebate amount is calculated based on how much energy the solar water heating system displaces, with commercial rebates capped at $250,000 per site for electric and propane-displacing systems. Rebate amounts will decline over time, so rebates are at their highest point now.
Is the Equipment Eligible?
To be eligible for California Solar Initiative Thermal rebates, solar water heating systems must fulfill program requirements.
- Must be new
- Must have a warranty of 10 years or more
- Residential solar water heating systems must have Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) OG-300 SWH System Certification.

It all started with the quick mommy shower. You know what I mean. Wash all vital parts quickly while kids nap.
No time to shave legs or moisturize with the kids screaming down the bathroom door, or even better, cutting the baby's hair. Yep, true story on that baby hair. He got a reverse mohawk with black sharpie highlights during one such shower.
Fast forward ten years...ten years of egregious neglect? Not only is that baby ten, but he still has his mohawk. And my feet? My scaly legs? The ones that snag blankets? They have suffered.
|More Than a Jar of Moisturizer in EVERY Bottle?
Enter Olay to the rescue again.
I have been an intensely loyal Olay fan for years. I'm actually pretty good about slathering my face with their products in my turbo-speed nightly ablutions. So I was quite excited when they sent me their Olay Ultra Moisture body wash in the mail.
They claimed it had more than a jar of moisturizer in every bottle.

In the meantime, my friends, I have a suggestion. Don't waste a decade neglecting yourself. Simplify your routine instead.
Speaking of simplifying, for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card courtesy of BlogHer and Olay, leave me a comment or tweet telling me what are some of the best ways you have simplified your routine.

According to Dr. Underwood, ""We
are proud to personally support the KC Nashville Education Center expansion
project. Through this new facility KC will be able to provide expanded
educational offerings in serving Washington County with helping students gain
the skills and knowledge for enhanced careers. We also know
that financial support is needed from the private sector for making this
project a reality. This is truly an investment in the future."
As part of its capital campaign master plan, Kaskaskia
College plans to expand the Nashville Education Center from its current
location with 3,500 square feet of leased space to a building to be constructed
on the Highway 127 site with 12,000 square feet of instructional and community
The new center in Nashville will include classrooms and
Nursing and Science laboratories, along with computer class rooms and a
Distance Learning classroom. The
highlight of the spaces will be a block of four classrooms that can be opened
up into one large space that can accommodate seating for 108 at tables or 246
in open seating, which will allow for larger gatherings and seminars. The new building will also have an open
computer lab for community as well as student use, and three Business Incubator
offices that will house three small business startups, with technology and
administrative help to get off the ground.
The campaign for the Nashville Education Center Expansion is
expected to run into Spring 2014, and the new Center is expected to be finished
in the Spring of 2015.
For more information or to make a donation to the campaign,
please call Ruth Barczewski at the Nashville Center at 327-9136 or email firstname.lastname@example.com or Suzanne

'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
