I learned about the riches of the soil from my great-grandmother, Nanny. She teaches me all about the soil from the beautiful flowers, trees, and gardens she grows. Every spring Nanny brings in the sludge to keep her soil and plants healthy. She is always mixing and working her soil.
She has taught me about flowers-the different types and seasons they grow in. Like tulips and daffodils grow from bulbs the soil cares for during the winter months. Pansies are planted in the spring as well. In the summer Nanny has lots of different flowers: roses, lilies, daisies, and my very favorite is the snapdragon because it really snaps.
Nanny has yummy fruit trees that grow in her back yard. The apple tree has red apples that taste good-if there are not wormholes. When picking from the cherry tree, I have to stand on a chair to pick the cherries. I like to put them on my ice cream. Her walnut tree every fall has lots of nuts and I pick them up off the ground to help her. We make stuff with the nuts, cracking them, and making them talk is funny to me.
My mom says that Nanny used to grow a big garden with tomatoes, spinach, squash, pumpkins, and lots of other veggies. Grape vines grew along her back fence,. When my mom was little she would go every October and pick the grapes and they would make grape juice. Now we are growing grapes just like my Nanny. My mom says when I was a baby I loved the grape juice.
Because of my Nanny I have learned about plants and how they grow. All these things are special to me and to my Nanny so they are treasures from the soil that make me happy and rich!
"Oh I wish it would stop raining," said Jamie, standing at the large glass window. Jamie was a little girl. She had gone to visit her Grandma's and Grandpa's house in Virginia. They promised her that they would put up a swing in the front yard.
"Hey, it stopped raining," exclaimed Jamie coming out of a daydream.
"Come look at this Grandpa," Jamie said.
"What is it?" asked Grandpa. "That is a rainbow," he said. He then went on to tell her about the legend of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
"I want to find it. Let's go. Can we, can we please?" exclaimed Jamie.
Grandpa looked at Grandma and she said, "Oh I guess we can. On one condition, if I can go too." They pulled their coats on and set out on their adventure.
"Hey," Grandpa said, "look at that cow. Did you know cows need soil? Cows need soil because grass, hay, and even corn comes from soil. If we didn't have soil, cows couldn't live. We get a lot of things from cows, like shoes, for example. Your shoes are leather aren't they Jamie?"
"I think so," said Jamie. "If we didn't have soil I wouldn't have my shoes. If we didn't have soil, cows would die because plants can't grow. Then I wouldn't have my shoes."
"Yep," said Grandma before Grandpa could even say anything.
They continued walking and looking for the pot of gold.
Grandpa asked, "Where do you think we get clean air from?"
"I don't know," said Jamie, "maybe from the clouds."
Grandpa chuckled, "No."
"You see that plant over there Jamie?" Grandma asked.
"Yes Grandma," said Jamie.
"We get our fresh air from plants like that," Grandpa said. "Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out fresh air. So you have to have soil to do that. You have to have soil to grow the plants."
"I think I got it," said Jamie, "we even have to have soil to breathe."
"You got it!" exclaimed Grandma.
They kept walking and came up on an ant hill. "Grandpa, what do ants have to do with soil?" asked Jamie.
"Well they dig in the ground and that helps to get air in the soil, and then they use the air to store their food," said Grandpa.
"So they let air into the dirt Grandpa?" asked Jamie. "They live with a lot of other ants that also help with digging and eat a lot of food. All foods come from soil. Right, Grandpa?"
"Right," said Grandpa.
"Trees also come from soil," said Grandma.
"Trees hold the soil together," said Grandpa. "So soil doesn't move. There are all different kinds of trees. The one we have at our house is a maple tree. We get a lot of food from trees. If we didn't have soil, plants couldn't live, and a tree is just a big plant. Plants give us so many good things. They also help clean the air."
"Sheep also live on plants," said Grandma. "Sheep give us wool and meat. We also need sheep for their wool to make blankets, coats, or even mittens. So we need sheep sometimes, too."
"Hey Grandpa," exclaimed Jamie, "the rainbow is gone."
"I guess we're not going to find the gold after all," said Grandpa.
"But Grandpa, I've already found the gold," said Jamie. "The soil is the gold, we couldn't live without it."
"Good," said Grandpa, "you've learned a lot."
Every time Jamie visited her grandparents after that, they would take a walk and look for the gold (soil).
Wow! Riches you can get from the soil. Does that mean if I plant a tree, it will grow green money, or if I plant a bush it will grow silver and gold coins, or plants will grow red and green gems? To answer my own question, No. I am just being a tad silly. Our soil does produce riches but not exactly in that fashion.
Soil ain't dirt. We know less about the soil under our feet than we do about outer space. Every plant and animal depends on this vast ecosystem. Soil has varying amounts of organic matter, both living and dead organisms, minerals, and nutrients. Soil is formed from rocks and decaying plants and animals.
Soil does grow trees, like fruit and shade trees. We can eat the great tasting apples, peaches, or cherries while enjoying sitting under the shade trees. Our trees provide us with a root system that helps the soil from washing away in our mountains. No trees, no soil, no water, so end result...desert. The carbon monoxide the trees and plants absorb helps to provide our environment with much needed oxygen. So plant, plant, plant!
Farmers, whether they farm a lot of acres or the backyard farmer who plants small gardens all need rich soil. This soil can produce hay and alfalfa for cows or horses and vegetables or fruits for humans. Each shovel of soil holds more living things than all the people in the world. A farmer must and should know what the value of soil is to their production of crops. Each seed planted, nurtured by sun and water, must have the nutrients of the soil to bring it to harvest.
The plants we grow in our soil provide us with vegetables above and below the ground. Some vegetables below the ground are potatoes, carrots, radishes and etc. and vegetables above the ground are lettuce, tomatoes, peas, and etc. What occurs below the ground, unseen, determines what we see above the ground. The basic knowledge of soil conditions are essential to properly enhance plant root growth and the plants vigor. Healthy soil grows healthy plants. We grow plants for decoration in the form of flowers that produce nectar for bees and birds, bushes that provide beautiful fall colors, and grass that provides a soft cushion to walk on in our bare feet.
Soil provides shelter for our small animals. Prairie dogs, moles, mice, worms and etc. dig burrows through the soil that helps aerate the soil, they leave deposits to help fertilize the soil and to stay safe from larger predators. So when you come across those holes in the ground, don't be tempted to scuff your feet and fill them with dirt.
Yes, we do get gems from our soil in the form of minerals like diamonds, quartz, and even coal. What girl doesn't like a big diamond in the rough or a cozy fire to snuggle up on a cold winters night. The diamond or quartz makes beautiful jewelry and coal is used for home heating or helps our power plants produce electricity.
Last but maybe not the best thing that our rich soil can produce is weeds. Oh, how we hate those pesky weeds, but try to remember somewhere or somehow they must be useful.
It's raining---again! Stop! Please stop, I thought a few days ago as I looked out my kitchen window into the dreary gray afternoon sky. Is it just me or does every farm wife feel that once the fall mud starts, we're blessed with an abundant supply for months? That means sweeping and more sweeping the dried clumps of straw, dirt and manure from the floor and mopping those spots that were just too wet to clump and left those water smears. It's a good thing my husband isn't much of a mind reader. I can't think he would think happy thoughts about me complaining about moisture in any form.
The next morning I had a little time for retrospection. The night had been awfully cold for October. My first morning look out the window revealed what looked like a beautiful field of tiny diamonds spread across the front lawn. That little bit of night rain had frozen slightly and now gave off the appearance of "riches" right before my eyes.
I had promised to help the grandkids with their chores. On with the hats, coats, gloves and boots. Time has a way of erasing from my foggy old mind how much easier and quicker it would have been just to do the chores myself. Finally all bundled up, we trudged out to the pens. Even the 3 year old was quick to show me that her bummer lamb was now a "big girl" and that she had "big hair" to keep her warm for the winter. Nothing could quite match the giggle of the nearly 2 year old as she got licked on the forehead by her calf, Cinderella. Isn't that farm kids for you? Loving the animals enough to think that calves possess the same beauty as famous fairy princesses. Every critter has a name and is loved just as much as if it possessed human characteristics. Riches! That is what you call being able to watch kids know what to feed and how much to feed each animal and realizing that it is a responsibility they recognize as their very own.
Just a short week later, two little girls came running as fast as their short legs would carry them. "Grandma, grandma, Dusty has baby puppies." Sure enough, the old cow dog had brought forth seven little black and white baby puppies---another few things to add to our chore list. Of course they needed a bigger and better house and some warm soft bedding. More riches from the soil---teaching compassion and the natural cycle of birth and death.
Not too long ago, I heard that "Gratitude is an attitude" and I realized just how lucky I am to have the rural lifestyle I have. I realize that although my life is much, much different from so many of my friends, I have so much to be grateful for. I am grateful that I can walk easily in knee high chore boots and probably more gracefully than I ever could in four inch heels. I'm grateful that my wardrobe staple, denim, is a wash and wear fabric, that my hair is often styled by the wind and rain and I'm grateful for the common sense that comes with farming (and my learned competence and creativity with twine and tie wire) that helps me to solve other problems that arise in my life.
Having now adult children who were raised on the farm gives me the assurance that they all know the value and the benefit of hard work and they know how to accomplish it. The memories of working together as a family helping them achieve 4-H and FFA goals and usually having the house full of good kids just like them are riches and something to be grateful for. Never was there a time they weren't willing to help each other with chores if a need arose. No time (or place) to hang out at the mall, wondering what to do next for entertainment; but there was always plenty of work, then fences to sit atop at the corrals or makeshift chairs in the farm shop as they solved the world's problems. Making true friends and the things they learned and did together were one of the riches of the soil.
It's a good thing the "diamonds" on the lawn weren't real. The value of that water into the soil means far more to a farm family than bushels of showy stones. That water is the lifeblood of our livelihood. As soon as the sun came up and warmed the earth a little, the "diamonds" disappeared just as do so many of the transient things in our lives today. But the lessons of patience, work, and perseverance are riches from the soil and are equally as lasting as any precious gem.
The riches from the soil make my world bright. I love the fall season with the rich and beautiful colors of the changing leaves. The colors of fall relate to some of the world's most expensive riches---rubies, garnets, emeralds and topaz. This season sets my "squirrel syndrome" into action as I hurry to bottle up those last few apples and make sure the squash is put in the cellar.
Back into the house, it was easy snuggling up to the little ones, wrapped in a wool blanket (compliments of our friends, the sheep). Looking around, it was fun to think of all the food, fiber, toys, household items and drugs that we aging folk depend upon that have had an origin in agriculture. The soil has made us a rich nation indeed.
Oh, let it rain! I think I'll use the riches from my summer garden, put on a pot of savory stew, make a loaf of wheat bread, mop that floor one more time and make mine an attitude of gratitude for my riches from the soil.

The Best Hotel Pools
Harry Slatkin is a man of firm convictions. The fashion exec will never put a suitcase on the bed (bad luck), throw a dinner for more than 10 (too impersonal), or go to sleep with an e-mail unanswered (inconsiderate). Such assiduous attention to detail is matched only by his entrepreneurial spirit—at 15, he would pilfer textiles from his family's business, wake up at 4 A.M., and drive three hours to sell the contraband at a flea market. Whether it involves decorating the Manhattan town house where he lives with his wife, Laura, and 13-year-old twins or forging the future of a heritage clothing brand, it's a given that any venture he touches is going to be major.
Slatkin made his mark in the '90s as the founding nose of the scented-candle game changer Slatkin & Co. and now aims to reposition the British clothier Belstaff, which he bought last year with longtime friend Tommy Hilfiger and the Swiss luxury group Labelux, as a full lifestyle label. Dating from 1924, Belstaff was established as an outerwear company for the motoring set but kept a low profile in recent times. Slatkin explains via department-store topography the then and now of it: "Belstaff was on the fifth floor of Harrods next to the fishing rods. In the fall we launch a shop on the first floor next to Stella McCartney and the Row." He poached Martin Cooper (who Slatkin calls "the king of outerwear") from Burberry and made him chief creative officer, added a womenswear line, and then had the breakout hit of 2012's London Fashion Week on his hands. "Sportswear for today's lifestyle but in the luxury arena" is how Slatkin describes the aesthetic, which is equal parts Range Rover royals at the country manor and urbane professionals at the corner office.
It wasn't long before actor Ewan McGregor came knocking, sending Slatkin an e-mail with the subject line "Born to Ride." An avid motorcyclist and a Belstaff fan, McGregor offered congratulations and volunteered his services for Slatkin's fall ad campaign. Slatkin, naturally, answered immediately. "Old motorcycle legends and heroes are often wearing Belstaff in photos, but it's clothing you can look good in off your bike as well," McGregor enthuses. The two are collaborating not only on advertising but also on a Belstaff-sponsored motorcycle race that will kick off in September at Goodwood, a 12,000-acre estate in southern England that Slatkin terms a "modern-day Downton Abbey." Lord March, the master of the manor and a celebrated motor-sports patron, is working with Belstaff on a capsule collection. While Slatkin and Cooper remain committed to Belstaff's aristo roots, they're equally dedicated to translating the sportif element for the urban sphere.
Slatkin's home of six years—just a stone's throw from the new Belstaff store on Madison Avenue—is an apt example of such translation in effect. The 1870s Beaux Arts town house is an immaculately appointed labor of love neatly rendered in very specific white and gray. (Slatkin spent a fair amount of time convincing Lenny Kravitz to divulge the perfect shade of paint he used on his walls in Paris.) Comfort, though, is paramount, as is functionality. "I see the house mainly as a backdrop for all the people who come in," Slatkin says. His brother, interior designer Howard Slatkin, who helped decorate, corroborates: "[Creating] a livable, family-oriented home was the top priority. There's nothing in the house that's off-limits, nothing the children can't enjoy."
Understated and eclectic with 18th-century accents—more Russian than French—the house was appointed deliberately and personally with furniture and objets that appealed to both Harry's and Laura's discerning aesthetics. Drawing on the couple's zest for travel and decorative arts, the decor showcases a mix of periods and styles that run the gamut from antiquity to contemporary. The end result is a study in cozy opulence, with Maison Jansen chandeliers, an imperial Russian commode, and other choice gems that the Slatkins culled from international flea markets and auctions.
Not surprisingly, Slatkin brings the same intense collector's eye for detail to his work at Belstaff. He's on schedule to open four stores this fall but says he's aiming for 18 a year (he scouts the spaces himself). "When you enter the store, you will be entering our home," he asserts. "This is a family, so when you come to Belstaff House, you become a Belstaffian." Global solutions. In the living room of Slatkin's Manhattan town house, an 18th-century Venetian mirror is flanked by Swedish porphyry urns, anniversary gifts from his brother, Howard.

Excellent service. Picked up and delivered the car in the given time. Car also cleaned. Thanks Daniel for your honest and excelllent service --Regards Suresh Canning town

cost more than written and end up buying extra parts which we didnt needed!
Did everything that was asked, no problems.
Did an excellent job, Lukasz is very creative as a mechanic and I would happily use him again.
Never come back to me after taking £49.
Fantastic! The guys from yourmobilegarage were brilliant! Arrived at a convenient time, completed the job efficiently and I have had no problems in almost a year. Fabulous value and great service- delighted!
Great service, top job.
Truly excellent work, and completed in record time. I am mightily impressed, and the car looks like new. I have no hesitation in recommending F and G to anyone who has invisible mending to be done.
My Saab 9-3, which I bought second hand 5 months previously, needed a service, I was quoted £190. However, I had a feeling it would cost more as lot of work needed doing. After accepting the quote and dropping off the car, F and G rang me requesting that I come in so they could show me what was wrong... I was shown worn tyres, broken suspension, dodgy exhaust and many other faults. They would not proceed with servicing or repair work without having my express permission for each single item, which I gave. I had a suspicion that the bill would be hefty, and it was - a fully itemised £1400. They also gave it a thorough clean and polish, which it needed, free of charge
Every aspect of this experience was positive. Excellent customer care from start to finish. Work completed very promptly with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency. Costs were reasonable. Diagnostics run prior to price quote, work carried out only after checking with me that the quote was acceptable. A brilliant outcome. Thankyou.

Some people say that Yamamoto is being overestimated but a dude whose zanpakuto can burn clouds when released has gotta be strong, at least to take on some espada. and all those who don't rank highly those who got ripped by Aizen you gotta consider that so Ichigo's bankai was stopped with a finger, so they should still deserve some credit
Why don't more people read these mangas?
i think the dog dude captain [cant remember his name] and hitsugaya are the weakest of them all...
as for the rankings in the list..
WE HAVE ONLY SEEN byakuya and zaraki fighting at their best..
as for the rest.. we havent seen them fighting with all they got..
zaraki hasnt learnt atleast a single thing of his zanpakutou.. all he uses is his own brute force, would he be able to understand his zanpakutou, then he would be reaching a *probably* far greater power in the section of zanpakutou vs zanpakutou fights, but clearly he sucks in everything else besides fighting with his sword...
byakuya seems to be good at every section of fighting..
hitsuguya seems kind of weak to me... but hey, hes just a child... so he still has to develop his powers..
tousen didnt seem to be very serious in the fight vs zaraki...
soifon had a draw with yoruichi, but apparently we have seen yoruichi still seems to be stronger than soifon..
the dog dude just looked very weak.. thats all there is to say..
kurotsuchi.. seemed kinda weak vs ishida.. but even so, he just saw him as a experiment and had no real intent of killing him.. he withdrew because he was almost torn in half by the angel like form of ishida when ripping of its quincy bracelet thingy..
for the rest we dont know much about the other captains
I still think the Yama-ji would just blow the sh*t out of the place with his sword...can you imagine what his Bankai release is?
i dont know man its pretty close he toke 2 captains , elite captain level ichigo who was weak at time and weak renji with ease hes very stong and its confirmed that he at least has twice the spiritiual energy of standard soul reaper captain
Why does every keep putting Unohana at the bottom of the list? It's been hinted that shes one of the oldest captain in SS. That alone shows that she has some higher level. I think she should be in the 5. Hell, I've done a list like this in another forum, might as well do it again.
1Yamamoto (benefit of the doubt, hes the oldest living Shinigami and Gotei 13 Commander that weilds the strongest fire-based Zanpakuto in SS)
2 Aizen (he gets two from the demonstration of his power and cheating ability)
3 Kyoraku
4 Ukitake (probably as strong as Kyoraku, but his illness takes away)
5 Unohana (been a captain for a long time, just because her zanpakuto ability is healing-based doesnt mean shes weak)
6 Byakuya
7 Kenpachi
8 Gin
9 Tosen
10 Komamura
11 Soifon (shes a new captain. Her ability is impressive, but anyone captain that's mastered shunpo can probablykeep their distance. The Shunko technique is impressive but she hasnt come close to mastering it)
12 Hitsugaya (another new captain with a lot of room to improve esp with his still developing Bankai)
13 Mayuri (he hasnt impressed me at all in the manga or anime. I believe he's more concerned with relying on his research and strange inventions than combat)
Numbers 8-10 are questionable. We really havent seen what Gin can do. His fight with Hitsugaya isnt a great example. The fact that Kenpachi claims that he and Tosen are the only captains afraid of dieing takes away from him. Tosen lets his morals get in the way of finishing the job. His shikai ability (smashing limbs) didnt even phase Kenpachi, while his bankai could have easily ended the fight quickly but again, his morals put him up on his high horse and made him loose the fight. Komamura got owned during his fight with Kenpachi (think he got hip tossed... with help at that) and then again by Aizen which isnt anything to be embaressed about IMO. He's pure brute strength and his bankai is rather slow moving. He depends too much on having to see or track his target(s). But we still dont know the full extent of any of these characters.
We cant look at Bleach as "he can beat him, because he beat that one". Some characters will just have an easier time defeating certain opponents than others would.

Yes, this post is a few months late. If you haven't noticed, I really haven't been posting. But don't worry! The Fabergé themed Easter caked tradition did not die.
The white cake recipe used in the past cake efforts was also used in this; however, this year fondant was replaced with Buttercream frosting! Here is the recipe:
- 2 cups (1 pound) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup vegetable shortening or hi-ratio shortening
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or 1.5 teaspoons lemon extract, pure vanilla extract or almond extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 pounds 10x confectioners sugar
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 0.5 cups + 1 tablespoon water, mild or clear liquer
- Cream shortening and butter with an electric, handheld or paddle-whip mixer.
- Add flavoring and salt.
- Gradually add sugar, on cup at a time.
- Add meringue powder. (The mixture will appear dry)
- Add liquid of choice and beat until light and fluffy (approximately 5-8 minutes). Keep the bowl covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
Oh, the frosting was SO GOOD. SO very good.

After having played not so good the week before and having brought out the ire of their coach, the Emery High Lady Spartans returned to the volleyball court and split region contests and played better in doing so.
Head Coach Kris Bell commented on the team, "Even though we lost, we played much better, we played like a team and we played the whole game. The girls did so much better this week than they did last week. They had better attitudes. They need to know that they can do it, play with the competition."
On Tuesday, Emery defeated Salem Hills in five games. The scores were 25-27, 25-22, 25-14, 24-26 and 15-7. On Thursday, Emery hosted Delta and lost in four games. The scores were 18-25, 25-22, 19-25 and 9-25.
Against Delta, Emery fell behind in the first game 12-22 before Emery rallied with Frankie Komar serving to cut it to 17-22. Emery then played well in the second game, as the game was nip and tuck all the way. Emery led 7-5, 14-11, 18-17, 20-18 tied at 21 -21, down at 21-22 and then Emery won with Komar serving again as they scored the next four points. Delta won games three and four easily.
Against Salem Hills, Emery lost two heart breakers in games one and four. Game one was close throughout with the score tied at 21-21. Emery led 25-24 before Salem rallied to score the last three points. In game four, the game again was close with Emery leading 24-23 before Salem finished it off.
In game two, the score tied at 19-19, Salem Hills led 21-22 and then Emery rallied with Komar serving to score the last four points. Emery won 25-22. In game three, Emery led 11-10 when ShiAnne Allred began her serves and led 23-11 when she stopped. Komar then served the last two Emery points as Emery won 25-14.
In the fifth game, Komar started off serving and Emery led 3-0. After Salem Hills scored a point, Sierra Bridgewater served for the Spartans and Emery scored the next eight points to lead 11-1. Emery would win the game 15-7 to pick up their second region win of the season. Against Salem Hills, Emery had 33 kills. "That's really good," said coach Bell.
Emery is at Carbon Tuesday night in the only game of the week.

Both brothers say they are hiding in an undisclosed location.
In an interview to be aired Monday, the brothers of the Ohio kidnapping and rape suspect tell CNN they were unaware of what police say was happening in their brother's home.
"If I knew, I would have reported it, brother or no brother," Pedro Castro told CNN's Martin Savidge.
Ariel Castro, charged with rape and kidnapping, remains in jail under a suicide watch on $8 million bond while prosecutors weigh more charges, including some that could carry the death penalty.
Castro, 52, faces three counts of rape and four counts of kidnapping involving victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. The three vanished between 2002 and 2004. Castro was also charged with kidnapping in connection with Berry's 6-year-old daughter, who was found at the home. DNA test results confirmed Castro fathered the girl.
His two brothers, Pedro and Onil Castro, were detained last week after Ariel Castro was arrested, but police released the pair a few days later, saying there was no evidence that either brother — neither of whom lived at Ariel Castro's home — were involved in any crimes against the women or Berry's daughter.
The two men tell CNN they worry people will always believe they played a role in the crimes and say their friends cannot fathom them being involved.
"And the people out there that know me, they know that Onil Castro is not that person and has nothing to do with that. Would never even think of something like that," Onil said, referring to the allegations against his brother Ariel.
"I was a very liked person, individual. I've never had any enemies. No reason for anybody to think that I would ever do something like that. It's a shock to all my friends. They couldn't believe it," he added.
Both brothers say they are hiding in an undisclosed location after their homes were targeted and they received death threats online.

In summary, the government aims to:
- Introduce a health levy that migrants without permanent residence would have to pay when applying for a visa in order to be able to access NHS services.
- Extend charging visitors and irregular migrants for NHS treatment to primary care, including seeing a GP and potentially to emergency care.
- Introducing a new registration and data sharing system to enable the NHS to identify and charge patients.
A fuller briefing on the proposals can be found here.
In the past two weeks MRN co-hosted with the Refugee and Migrant Forum of East London (RAMFEL) three public meetings on the Home Office's Go Home campaign and immigration spot checks. Overall, more than 200 people from diverse backgrounds attended the meetings, including lawyers, members of migrant support organisations, academics, people from the race equality sector, activists and concerned citizens.
The polemic around the billboard vans carrying the message 'Go Home or Face Arrest' has sparked some long overdue interest in the way the Home Office carries out its enforcement actions. Over the last few days a number of Twitter users have posted real-time reports of immigration raids together with accounts and pictures of how these operations take place.
On Friday MRN hosted a briefing by the Met Police and RAMFEL about Operation Nexus. Even though many questions were addressed at the session there was still a sense of uncertainty about the initiative, anger at how it is presented and concern about some of the implications for vulnerable migrants, their communities and those supporting them.
Ed Miliband's speech on integration was interesting for a variety of reasons. First, in stark contrast to the immigration speech by home secretary Theresa May, also last week, the overall tone of his comments was broadly positive.

Sinister Wacky Worms 8pk
Truly one of the most versatile baits around, the Sinister Wacky Worm can easily be transformed into several different presentations. Notice the indented cut or pinch lines about an inch from either curly tail. If you cut or bite off the worm at those points you are left with two grubs, and a stick bait. Cut off one end and you have a large curly tail worm and a grub. Cut it right down the middle, and you have two perfect size baits for flipping, pitching, and punching. And the most obvious way to fish the Sinister Wacky Worm is to just leave it alone for a killer wacky rig presentation with a little extra action at both ends. Designed and made on the famed California Delta by professional bass fisherman, Danny Davis, the Sinister Wacky Worm is a deadly bait you can use for almost any soft plastic application. Available in a range of proven colors and formulated with salt, anise and pork fat, the Sinister Wacky Worm is proudly made in the USA.

Comments: These are really big, they work well though. Ive caught a few 5lbers on them, only big bass seem to want them (not that its a bad thing). Though for a smaller version I superglue 2 three inch grubs together tip to tip and it works wonders on bass of all sizes.
From: Joey: Ocala, FL 9/12/16
Comments: Cool baits, but they are just too big, at around 8". I personally do not have a need for a bait this size for wacky fishing. They sure do look enticing though. I'll continue to use them in different situations the see if there is a niche for them on my local water. Please make these baits at 4-5"!
From: Matt: VA 8/17/16
Comments: When u need that extra action over senko style baits wacky rigged the two grub tails slow the sink and retrieve rate like gluing 2 in grubs on each side u can remove tail for grub or stick bait or curly tail worm they aren't cheap but they work very well
From: John: Monterey, CA 2/25/14
Comments: These look pretty good. It would be great if they had them in different sizes. I'll be trying them out soon.

Robinho happy to welcome Mario
Milan striker Robinho is confident that Mario Balotelli will prove to be a hit on his return to the San Siro.
- Related Content
The Italy international will undergo a medical in Milan on Wednesday before finalising his move back to Serie A after two-and-a-half years at Manchester City.
- Profiles
Robinho said: "Balotelli is a great player and will definitely help the squad. We are happy he has arrived and we are all going to welcome him. Let's hope he does well for Milan."
Milan tackle Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League but Balotelli, who had spent four seasons at Internazionale before his move to Manchester, will not be eligible having already featured in this season's group stages for City.
Robinho added: "There's enthusiasm in the changing room and we're getting better. There are still plenty of games to go and every three points will help us move up the table.
"The beginning of the campaign wasn't good, and once more the Italian league is proving to be difficult.
"But at the moment we're experiencing a good run of form in this crucial point of the season, and with 16 games to go anything is possible."
Balotelli's arrival in Milan had been delayed by fog but he is expected to sign a four-and-a-half year deal with the seven-time European champions.
Milan are currently fifth in Serie A, trailing league leaders Juventus by 12 points.

Comfy Style
"I ordered these boots as a birthday present to myself and fell in love as soon as they I opened the box. They don't have a zipper but I was surprised at how easy they were to get on and off. The non tapered shaft gives me a thigh slimming look that I love and is paired perfectly with skinny jeans. These are by far my new favorite boots and the comfort level is a huge plus."

Looks good
"After looking at hundreds of tall boots from very expensive to inexpensive these are the best looking pair of boots I've seen except for the Frye boots I will purchase some day! I'm giving it 3 stars for being narrow and because of the pull straps which look like they would pull off if I were to use them as I have read in other reviews. I do like he leather on these, rustic."

Button Man helps preserve Duke memories
This season, espnW will take a journey across America, bringing you an in-depth look at 16 women's college basketball programs -- our Sweet 16. We'll begin the first week of the season and conclude just before the conference tournaments. We'll visit powerhouse schools and those off the beaten path, programs that are emerging and those that were there from the beginning. At the end of these 16 weeks, we hope you'll have a true flavor of Hoops Across America.
An open box sits on the kitchen desk of a farmhouse in the small city of Mulhouse in northeast France. Inside the box are a handful of pin-backed buttons featuring pictures of Allison Vernerey, a junior center for the Duke women's basketball team.
They're rare buttons. You can't buy them anywhere. There's only one place on the planet you can find them.
Jacques Vernerey had to travel nearly 4,300 miles from Mulhouse, in the Alsace region of France not far from the German and Swiss borders, to Durham, N.C., to get those buttons two years ago.
"Most of them are Allison's game action," wrote Vernerey, who rarely gets to see his daughter play, making the long trek to Durham only once a season. But Vernerey takes a moment to look at the buttons on the kitchen desk every week, and he knows he will keep them forever.
There are thousands of buttons of Duke women's basketball players out there, in boxes, on desks and in drawers, pinned to hats and stuck to bulletin boards. They're in Texas and Louisiana, Oklahoma, Virginia and North Carolina, even Australia and who knows where else.
There probably are buttons in places Rob Rabb couldn't imagine if he stopped to think about it. Not that he ever does. Rabb is the Button Man of Duke, a longtime fan who has used a little home button maker to forge a connection between the women's basketball team and the community that spans three decades.
Spend enough time with Rabb and you'll know he's far too unassuming to realize the impact and import of his buttons.
But others surely do.
An unexpected fan
A box in the home office of Gail Goestenkors in Austin, Texas, holds buttons from her 15 years as coach of Duke's women's basketball team. She used to wear them in Durham, although that's hardly appropriate these days. Goestenkors is the coach of the Texas Longhorns, and blue is definitely not her color these days.
But five years after she left Duke to move to Austin, she still has 15 or 20 buttons at home. Goestenkors takes them out of the box about once a year to reminisce.
"Those buttons represent great memories," she said.
Goestenkors and Rabb arrived in Durham around the same time in 1992. Goestenkors had just taken on the monumental task of reviving Duke, a distant third in the Triangle behind rivals NC State and North Carolina and a bottom dweller in the ACC. Former coach Debbie Leonard said Duke was the last of the ACC schools to put an emphasis on women's basketball, and it showed.
There were hardly any fans back then.
"We would joke it was basically the family members and friends of our players," Goestenkors said. "We probably averaged 200, 250, something like that. I remember the first year we didn't have a banquet. We didn't have enough people to attend, so we had a pizza party for basically our season ticket holders and team, and I think there were 25 people that came."
Rabb, 56, likely wasn't among them. He was not a women's basketball fan. A computer software specialist from Takoma Park, Md., Rabb moved to Durham in 1992 because his wife, Merry, had attended Duke and wanted to return to the area. They bought a house about two miles from Cameron Indoor Stadium and quickly became season-ticket holders -- for Duke men's basketball.
The women were mostly an afterthought. But the games were free, and they thought it would be a convenient night out.
At the start, that's all it was.
"It wasn't like, 'Hey, we're into women's basketball. Let's find out what's going on,'" Merry Rabb said.
But those plucky Blue Devils kept drawing the Rabbs back.
"We just sort of got engaged by the players and the game and the program," she said. "In '95, we beat Carolina, they were the defending national champions. I remember that game. I remember the first time we beat NC State, which took a couple more years. We sort of got into it. And then the success started to build, and it became even more engaging because you felt like you were part of something that was up and coming."
An important part, it turns out. Women's basketball has never drawn many fans from the student body; it still doesn't. Yet even without the students, the community support in Durham grew. The Rabbs were part of a group that became known as the middle-aged Cameron crazies. They were the ones who started the cheers, caravanned to nearby NC State and North Carolina and traveled to Wake Forest, Tennessee and beyond.
"I always appreciated the ones who stuck with us from the beginning," Goestenkors said. "Those were always the ones -- and he was one of them -- that were really special."
A button man
There are buttons on countertops, buttons in dishes, buttons on tables, buttons scattered all about the Rabb household. Drawers are full of them in the basement. There are sports buttons, political buttons, social-cause buttons and cartoon buttons that include the Jetsons and the Flintstones. Over the years, Rob Rabb has collected a thousand or more.
"I just always liked buttons as a mode of expression, whether it was for your favorite rock band or your favorite politician or your favorite social cause. It was just a great way to share," Rabb said. "I like to collect things. It's easy to collect buttons because they're relatively small and lightweight. I traveled on business for a lot of years, and it was easy to bring stuff back without flooding the suitcase."
In the 1980s, Rabb's sister-in-law bought a home button-making kit for a children's school project. She used it to make Christmas gifts for Merry and Rob one year. That's when it occurred to Rabb that he could make his own buttons. He bought a kit sometime around 1989, and one of his earliest buttons was a tribute to his wife's longtime devotion to the soap opera "General Hospital." On the button is a picture of the famed Luke and Laura wedding. They still have that button.
Somewhere in the mid-1990s, in the days when you couldn't buy a Duke women's basketball T-shirt or memento even if you wanted to, Rabb decided to make buttons of the team to wear and share with fans in the stands. It was his little way of helping support the program.
"The whole idea is people would see folks wearing buttons," said Rabb, whose license plate on his Prius reads 6THWOMAN. "Hopefully they didn't only wear them for games. Or maybe they went out for a bite after the game and people would see them and it would raise awareness this was going on. At the time, games were free. 'Come to the game, support the team and have a great time.'"
It quickly escalated.
"He started wanting to make individual buttons for individual players and their parents," said Merry Rabb, who has a CAMCRZY plate on her Prius. "Someone will say, 'Do you have a button with so-and-so on it?' He started doing it more to satisfy that, do something special for people that wanted it. And then once you start doing individual player buttons, then you want to do them for all the players because you want to treat all the parents equally."
As the women began to win and become more popular in the late '90s, Rabb began making lots of buttons. He would bring as many as 60 to each game and invested a few hundred dollars for a better button maker to increase production.
That was around the time the Blue Devils shocked women's basketball by knocking off Chamique Holdsclaw and Tennessee to reach the Final Four for the first time in 1999. After that, there were fans, and buttons, filling the stands behind the Duke bench.
"The buttons brought people together in conversation, where before games and after games, tournaments, they were all trading buttons," said former Duke player and assistant coach Joanne Boyle, who is now the head coach at Virginia.
Boyle, who left Duke in 2002, still has her buttons pinned to a "Cat in the Hat" top hat that her mother, Joan, used to wave at Duke games.
"No other team had that," Boyle said. "It was just such a community, and this brought it together in this fun atmosphere of trading memories through buttons, and so you got to wear many of those memories. It was like a scrapbook, and people were wearing their scrapbook on their jacket or their hat."
Most buttoned
In a house in Tulsa, Okla., there's an armoire that serves as a small shrine to the basketball career of Iciss Tillis. She played professionally for seven years, overseas and in the WNBA for a stretch, before retiring to prepare for law school. Among the various mementos that her mother, Melanie Hughes-Morris, collected over the years are buttons, maybe two dozen of them, from Tillis' days as an All-American at Duke nearly a decade ago.
"Each button, I can specifically remember what was going on at that time," Tillis said. "Some of the buttons were definitely from the Final Four. Some of the buttons were from different ACC championships. One of the buttons was from my first year. I probably have at least 20 to 25 buttons, and each one I have a very fond memory of."
Tillis was an integral part of the team that elevated Duke to the upper echelon of women's basketball in the early 2000s. The Blue Devils won four consecutive ACC tournament titles during her career -- five in a row in all from 2000 through 2004 -- and went to consecutive Final Fours in 2002 and '03.
The centerpiece of that team was Alana Beard, the most decorated women's basketball player ever at Duke. She is the school's all-time leading scorer and was national player of the year in 2003 and '04. Beard's No. 20 is one of only two retired Duke women's jerseys.
Beard also was the most buttoned player in Duke history. Rabb said he made 500 to 600 buttons of Beard during her college career.
"It's quite an honor," said Beard, who plays for the Washington Mystics and attended a recent Blue Devils game. "To have people like the Button Man cross your path who care enough about you to make buttons for you, to give them out to your parents to share with your family, it means a lot to me."
Most of Beard's buttons have gone to her parents over the years and are now housed in Shreveport, La.
Michael Currie, father of Monique Currie, said he has as many as 30 buttons from his daughter's career at Duke from 2001 to 2006. He lives in Washington, D.C., and has given them to family and friends over the years, with some of the buttons going to cousins in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"When you go on your job and you can hand your co-workers one of those buttons and then he can take it home and show one of his kids and they see your daughter on TV, it gives them a personal relationship because then they feel as though, 'I know her, or my dad works with her father,' so that means so much when you can pass that on," Currie said.
There are buttons Down Under in Australia too. Jessica Foley, the former Blue Devil who plays professionally for the Townsville McCafe Fire in the WNBL, is best known for a buzzer-beating 3-point shot that sank Connecticut in the 2006 NCAA tournament.
It was a shot for the ages. One for the buttons too.
Still buttoning
Rabb never kept count of the number of buttons he made over the years, including those for the Duke women's volleyball team and the men's basketball team from time to time. A rough estimate is somewhere in the range of 10,000. Nor does he keep track of the money he has spent, although the Rabbs figure that it's around $3,000. And there's no dollar figure for the hours he has devoted to making the buttons, which he always has given away for free.
These days, Duke doesn't need that kind of publicity. The Blue Devils have become the premier program in the ACC and are averaging a conference-best 5,109 fans per game this season, 15th in the country.
Rabb remains a regular at women's games, although he admits the production of his buttons has declined in recent years. Still, they remain prized mementos for parents and friends.
"When he gave them to me, I was just really touched by it," said Sharon McCloskey, whose daughter, Haley Peters, is a sophomore on the team.
McCloskey was given a bag full of buttons last season and displays some of them on a bulletin board in her home office in Durham. Haley has passed them down to cousins spread from New Jersey to the Dominican Republic.
"Obviously, there's work involved in doing what he does," McCloskey said. "I was really touched by the fact someone would really do that."
Rabb will never know how many people have been touched by his buttons over the years. There are too many to count.

Great shoe w/ support!

Not Happy :(
"I've used previous versions of this shoe, both the 9 and 10, ran marathons in them with no problems. These 11's tho feel really tight and stiff. I don't know what happened, but I ended up exchanging them for a Trance 10 at the store. If your going to purchase these, I suggest ordering half a size up if your feet aren't narrow. My feet are average and I've always used a medium width, maybe if they had a wide width in my size. I still love Brooks tho, just not the GTS 11's."

For Diversity in the International Regulation of Financial Institutions: Critiquing and Recalibrating the Basel Architecture
Roberta Romano
Yale Law School; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
March 11, 2013
Yale Law & Economics Research Paper No. 452
ECGI - Law Working Paper, Forthcoming
This paper challenges the prevailing view of the efficacy of harmonization of international financial regulation and provides a mechanism for facilitating regulatory diversity and experimentation within the existing global regulatory framework. the Basel accords. Recent experience suggests that regulatory harmonization can increase, rather than decrease, systemic risk. By incentivizing financial institutions worldwide to follow broadly similar business strategies, regulatory error contributed to a global financial crisis. Furthermore, the fast-moving, dynamic nature of financial markets renders it improbable that regulators will be able to predict with confidence what optimal capital requirements or other regulatory policies are to reduce systemic risk, the objective of global harmonization efforts, nor what future financial innovations, activities or institutions might generate systemic risk. The paper contends, accordingly, that there would be value added from increasing the flexibility of the international financial regulatory architecture, as a means of reducing systemic risk, It proposes making the Basel architecture more adaptable by creating a procedural mechanism by which departures along multiple dimensions from Basel would be permitted while providing safeguards, given the limited knowledge that we do possess, against the ratchetting up of systemic risk from such departures. The core of the proposal is peer review of proposed departures from Basel, and upon approval, ongoing monitoring for their impact on global systemic risk. If a departure were found to increase systemic risk, it would be disallowed. Such a mechanism would improve the quality of regulatory decisionmaking by generating information on what regulation works best under what circumstances, and by providing a safety valve against a harmonized regulatory error's increasing systemic risk, by reducing the likelihood that international banks worldwide will follow broadly similar flawed strategies in response to regulatory incentives.

Did You Know? Countdown to Mardi Gras (03/05)Saturday, March 5th, 2011
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Mardi Gras and
Fat Tuesday Celebrations
March 05 : 03 days till Mardi Gras
Did you know that the tradition of Krewes tossing out handouts to parade onlookers — or "throws" in New Orleans parlance — dates back to Renaissance Europe?
That's where the festival custom started in which lords and ladies would hurl mead and ale at revelers. Some historians believe the tradition has even more ancient roots. Pagan peasants would toss grains at their fields in the springtime, as a show of gratitude to the deities for allowing them to survive the bitter winters.
Celebrated throughout the Gulf Coast, Mardi Gras is practically synonymous with New Orleans. But you don't have to live in Creole Country to enjoy a good party. In fact, if you want to get in on the fun, just come join us for our Mardi Gras Ball! We will be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Mardi Gras, March 08th!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery High Cheerleaders began their preparations for the upcoming sports seasons with a visit by an instructor from the US Tumblers of Virginia Beach, Va.
An ex-collegiate football player whose career was cut short by an injury, Bear Pierce now works year round instructing high school and collegiate cheer squads in proper technique of stunting.
Piggybacking onto another Utah high school's scheduling, the Spartans were able to get three days of Bear's instruction as they practiced under his guidance at LaRae's Dance Studio in Huntington.
Bear has a belief that cheerleaders are athletes and as such need to be in great condition. "There will be no whining today, there will be no 'I can'ts.'" Such action often took the team to the mat for more push-ups and other exciting activities.
After watching some of the workouts, I confirmed my long held belief that cheerleading might be the toughest sport at a high school.
Cheerleaders show up at every county parade during the summer, go to summers camps, begin serious practice in early August and perform through early March as they show up for every home football game, boys basketball game, girls basketball game, volleyball match and wrestling match. And they do this for varsity and junior varsity. Cheerleaders, when I was in school, may have just shown up to brighten up the place but not now. Now there is hard work and a lot of effort that goes into every performance and they are still expected to brighten up the place. Catch the cheerleaders in action, they are worth watching.

Toulon consolidated their lead in the Top 14 standings for another week on Saturday with a 43-11 demolition of Stade Français.
Toulon consolidated their spot at the summit of the Top 14 standings for another week on Saturday with a 43-11 demolition of Stade Français.
Under a closed roof at Grand Stade Lille Métropole, Toulon led 19-6 at half time before breaking clear with three tries in the last 25 minutes.
Jonny Wilkinson kicked 17 points for Toulon as the league leaders ended a four-match losing streak away from home.
The former England fly-half – who confirmed reports he was all set to extend his contract with Toulon for another year – kicked seven from seven while his side ran in four tries in the first Top 14 match to be played in Lille.
Defeat for Stade means for the fourth season running they will not contest the end of season title play-offs.
"The pressure was on us against a good side but we responded to the challenge perfectly," said Wilkinson.
"We are almost there with regards to extending my stay and I have said all season if I thought I could contribute something to the team next season I wanted to stay.
"I love playing with really good players and good coaches and that is what we have here," added the 33-year-old, who has been there since 2009.
Wilkinson got the first score on the board in the seventh minute with a penalty after Stade's kicker Jules Plisson had missed an opportunity down the other end.
Wilkinson added another penalty in the 19th minute but Plisson reduced the deficit to three points (6-3) a few minutes later.
The inimitable Wilkinson then made it 9-3 with an impeccable drop goal -a league-leading eighth of the season – from distance in the 26th minute.
RCT extended their lead further in the 30th minute as Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe touched down after the try had been created by a delightful kick by Alexis Palisson behind a virtually non-existent Stade defence.
England full-back Delon Armitage selflessly passed to Fernandez Lobbe, even though he could have probably touched the ball down himself, and Wilkinson converted for 16-3.
Wilkinson added another penalty four minutes before the break as Toulon eased away against a Stade side devoid of inspiration although Plisson gave them the last score of the half with another penalty to make it 19-6 at half-time.
However, the hosts lost scrum-half Lucas Rubio, their third choice in that position promoted to start his first Top 14 game because of injuries to the other two, and had to be replaced by Australian fly-half/centre Paul Warwick.
Stade, though, gave Toulon a shock early in the second-half as Waisea Vuidravuwalu blocked Palisson's clearing kick and the Fijian wing touched down in the corner – Plisson missed the conversion to leave Toulon 19-11 ahead.
Toulon restored their supremacy as Palisson was at the end of a sweeping backs move in the 57th minute to score their second try which was brilliantly converted by Wilkinson from the left touchline for 26-11.
Stade's problems were exacerbated as they were reduced to 14 men for 10 minutes when Julien Arias was sin-binned and former All Black backrow forward Chris Masoe made them pay with a try in the 67th minute while Wilkinson converted for 33-11.
Toulon added another try through Steffon Armitage which was converted by Wilkinson for 40-11 and Matt Giteau rounded off the rout with a penalty from long range on the final whistle.
The scorers:
For Stade Français:
Try: Vuidravuwalu
Pens: Plisson 2
Yellow card: Arias
For Toulon:
Tries: Fernandez Lobbe, Palisson, Masoe, S. Armitage
Con: Wilkinson 4
Pens: Wilkinson 3, Giteau
Drop: Wilkinson
Stade Français: 15 Hugo Bonneval, 14 Waisea Vuidravuwalu, 13 Geoffrey Doumayrou, 12 Paul Williams, 11 Jeremy Sinzelle, 10 Jules Plisson, 9 Lucas Rubio, 8 David Lyons, 7 Antoine Burban, 6 Pierre Rabadan, 5 Gerhard Mostert, 4 Alexandre Flanquart, 3 Rabah Slimani, 2 Laurent Sempere, 1 Aled De malmanche,
Replacements: 16 Remi Bonfils, 17 Romain Frou, 18 Anton Van zyl, 19 Olivier Missoup, 20 Paul Warwick, 21 Jerome Porical, 22 Julien Arias, 23 Stanley Wright.
For Toulon: 15 Delon Armitage, 14 David Smith, 13 Mathieu Bastareaud, 12 Matthew Giteau, 11 Alexis Palisson, 10 Jonny Wilkinson, 9 Sebastien Tillous borde, 8 Chris Masoe, 7 Steffon Armitage, 6 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, 5 Nicholas Kennedy, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Carl Hayman, 2 Jean charles Orioli, 1 Andrew Sheridan,
Replacements: 16 Sebastien Bruno, 17 Xavier Chiocci, 18 ocelino Suta, 19 Joe Van Niekerk, 20 Virgile Bruni, 21 Maxime Mermoz, 22 Nicolas Durand, 23 Levan Chilachava.

We have a little tradition here at the Nation Network. They who win the Battle of Alberta writes the next GDB on both sites. So buckle up Flames Fans because you are going to get it and we are going to give it to you.
For far too long Edmontonians and Calgarians have battled back and forth with the same old witty jabs and name calling. Calgary has one Cup - a bra has two. Edmonton has no running water or intelligence of any sort. You have the Stampede, we have a free hot dog lunch in the parking lot of Bonnie Doon shopping mall. Yeah, yeah yeah. We get it.
This time around we are dispensing with the usual insults and getting to the heart of the matter of what is really wrong with you Calgary.
Oooooh. We get it Calgary. You are the rich neighbours to the South with all of your money and power and fancy high rise buildings. Everyone understands that at some point in the mid 90s all of our businesses picked up and moved down Highway 2. Well guess what? We were like 8 years old when that happened. Didn't care then - didn't care now.
Frankly you did us a favour Calgary. We will never figure out how jedi mind tricked the bulk of our corporate douchebags to pack up their drycleaned belongings and move three hours away but we thank you.
And while we watch the game tonight and see a bunch of non-plussed suit types sitting on their hands in the Saddledome in jerseys that still have their tags on we will thank the Gods that none of them are up here pretending to be Oilers fans anymore.
Good riddance.
US v YOU
Speaking of Flames fans where have they gone? We seem to remember a whole mess of people filing into your Red Mile during your ill fated Cup run. People all over the were quick to cheer for "KIPPPPPERRRRRRRR" and "IGGGGGYYY" and Company. And yet nowdays there don't seem to be nearly as many people up repping the flaming C.
That's probably because the bulk of people following aren't really Flames fans. They are sports consumers. When the milk is fresh you are all happy to have a glass. When the milk goes sour - no one will come within a hundred miles.
Contrast that with Edmonton. We have been drinking sour milk for so long we have developed a taste for it. In fact many of us now prefer it. Doesn't matter if the Oilers finish in last place every year until the end of time. Oilers fans are in the business of living and dying with the team. Anyone with any hockey sense at all would have abandoned this team years ago and yet here we are millions strong all around the world.
And luckily the Oil are on the verge of being awesome. While Calgary is going to gently float down to the bottom of the league until your 33 NTCs expire in 2035.
Looking at your roster - who is there even to get excited about?! Iginla in the prime of the twilight of his fine career? Pfft. Steve Begin? Jiri Hudler? Who the hell are any of these old bastards anyway? There is literally not a single player on your entire roster that we could possibly get excited about. Anyone skilled is old. Anyone young is marginal. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
We remember when we were trying to convince ourselves that players like Roman Cervenka were going to be the answer. Our Cervenka had names like Cole and O'Sullivan. We hoped and prayed late into the night that they could find something deep down within themselves and become awesome. And guess what - it didn't work.
It never works. Your roster was built around a core and that core expired about 4 years ago. Now you are like the guy who went all in on a 5-3 offsuit with a hunch "things were going to look better after the flop." Well the flop came up all Kings and now you have nothing left to do but play out your hand.
And lose.
There is literally nothing you can do to win this battle Flames fans. Even if the Oilers lose (and they may) they are still the far superior team and we both know it. Even if the Flames win by 10 goals it will be no more satisfying than being given a free shrimp cocktail at a banquet on the Titanic. You are headed to the bottom and everyone on board is starting to sense disaster.
And there isn't an insult in the book you can lob our way that will have any impact. Yes we are your hillbilly cousins up Highway 2. We are eternal optimists who have had a crap team and lacked the brain stem or the reality check to realize it. Now after being rewarded for coming in last for so long we have an embarassment of riches for a lineup and 18 year old Russian superstars sliding all over while we lose our drunken minds in celebration.
Its all happening up here and nothing is happening down there and you would be madder except that most of your bandwagon jumping fans have left long ago. Perhaps we should lend you the terms "ELPH" and "Shitanusly bad hockey." They got us through some dark days.
Oh and it's Wayne Gretzky's birthday today. Remember him?
GAME DAY PREDICTION: This is as easy to predict as getting some drunk Calgary
tramp girl to flash her boobs during the only Cup run Calgarians will witness in the next two decades...Oilers win 5-2.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: One thing Flames and Oiler fans can agree on is it is great not having Mark Lee call the game on HNIC. Also buckle up it could be a long game with Tom Kowal and Greg Kimmerly reffing the game. They are as blind as the guys who thought every Calgary
tramp girl who flashed on the red mile was hot.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: During the second period one of the mics at ice level picks up the audio from a conversation between Jarome Iginla and Jordan Eberle.
"Hey Ebs, tell Tambo I'd gladly waive my non-trade clause and come play with you guys." Eberle smiles and replies, "You betcha, but I hope you are okay playing on the 2nd line." Iginla smiles, "No problem, at least I'd have a chance to make the playoffs again." Within moment the Nations blow up with talk of a possible trade. Flames fans start calling him "Judas", while Oiler fans calmly sit back knowing that Iginla speaks the truth.
Thanks to Gregor for giving me his Game Day Predictions

January 26 2013, 08:56PM
I have no idea. It has never worked.
I also wish Hartley would give the 2nd unit a bit more time.

January 26 2013, 08:58PM
Thanks for dressing Hordichuk as well Edmonton.
January 26 2013, 09:01PM
Where is Ben Eager? Did he get a concussion in that fight,probably needed stitches for sure but that shouldn't keep him out.Just wondering cause I think I would prefer Eager in the line up tonight than Paajarvi.
January 26 2013, 09:01PM
Has Oilers Nation gone silent?..
January 26 2013, 09:03PM
i think simmer is better than hrudey
January 26 2013, 09:03PM
Has Oilers Nation gone silent?..
Let's hope so.
Man how many friggin penalties and bad goals are the Oilers going to give up this year
January 26 2013, 09:04PM
January 26 2013, 09:05PM
Has Oilers Nation gone silent?..
I blame me
I am loving this! 2-0 Flames Backlund and Bouwmeester scoring, keep it up boys we need the win badly.
January 26 2013, 09:05PM
Kipper just wanted to match Dubnyk in spotting the bad guys a softy apparently.
January 26 2013, 09:05PM
Nice screen Horc
January 26 2013, 09:05PM
Sooooo Schultzy haha. No garbage goals from our team. Haha.
Has Oilers Nation gone silent?..
Lol, ya right. Bad first periods are an Oilers norm. You haven't read the script.
Oh yeah, that Justin "we did not draft" Schultz, with the howitzer. Ya, you'll hate him for the next 15 years like Coffey.
January 26 2013, 09:07PM
I had the chances 6-4 in favor of the Oilers. I didn't count the Bouwmeester or Schultz goals as true scoring chances.
January 26 2013, 09:08PM
Hall looks like he's feeling it tonight, one each from Hall and Nuge in the second.
Gotta love the fart catchers in the background, trying to get their 15 seconds of fame. Ugh!
January 26 2013, 09:11PM
Oilers love to make things dramatic
No refs can stop us
January 26 2013, 09:12PM
Oh yeah? Well Calgary jerseys are hideous. I said it.
January 26 2013, 09:12PM
TLBB the Oilers did outplay the Flamers for a good chunk of the period. So there Is that.
I dislike the Flames as much as the next guy, but one thing I will say: they seem to play a pretty up tempo style. Lots of stretch passes, and I get the feeling they'll take some chances offensively. Not bad hockey to watch at all. With that said, I think we're in for a few more goals before this one is over. Go Oil
January 26 2013, 09:12PM
And your Grand Poobah has the Oilers ahead on scoring chances as well.
January 26 2013, 09:13PM
Seriously, Hockey Night in Canada, it's not polite to do that kind of thing with the Oilers in public unless you marry them first.
You';d think the Oilers were back-to-back cup winners to hear the HNiC, no back-to-back-to-back 1st overall draftees and the worst club in the NHL. Not to mention that you'd swear they were winning this game, rather than losing.
That's because the Oilers are much sexier than the Lames. Not to mention the fact that our future looks a looooooooooot better than Cowtown.
January 26 2013, 09:13PM
Oh yeah? Well Calgary jerseys are hideous. I said it.
January 26 2013, 09:14PM
Stempniak assisted on both goals tonight. He is having a good year so far.
January 26 2013, 09:15PM
Good to see Ronnie McLame shilling for Edwards and King...but then again my tax dollars pay for his lame gig each Saturday.
January 26 2013, 09:16PM
God I really can't stand listening to Glen Healy.
January 26 2013, 09:18PM
Yeah really good start for Stemps.
Wondering what Backlund has to do to get more ice time right now though.
January 26 2013, 09:20PM
@Kent Wilson
Hopefully scoring helps.
January 26 2013, 09:22PM
God I really can't stand listening to Glen Healy.
What boring banter. If there was anything else on I'd have changed channels. Weekes and Healy - what rapier-like wit.
January 26 2013, 09:25PM
Week's is scared of yak city
January 26 2013, 09:28PM
Cammy's looking better tonight.
January 26 2013, 09:28PM
Cammalleri's best shift of the year so far.
January 26 2013, 09:29PM
I agree, he is not falling all over the ice.
January 26 2013, 09:31PM
Another good shift for Sven too. Glencross!! Makes up for the stupid penalty.
January 26 2013, 09:31PM
Nice play by Jarome there.
January 26 2013, 09:31PM
The St. Al Bert native to the former Oiler.
Very nice!
January 26 2013, 09:33PM
Okay, so Hudler's awesome?
January 26 2013, 09:33PM
The Flames went Harlem Globtrotters on the Oilers there.
The Flames did. The Flames.
January 26 2013, 09:37PM
Flames are taking over in the second so far.
