Round 1 of The Battle of Alberta doubleheader goes tonight in what was originally going to be an absolute blowout final two games between the Oil and the Flames. That was before GDB No. 1, when hope ran high. Fast forward to GDB 81 and this game suddenly means less than a game of chess between Paris and Nicky Hilton. It will also be just as futile and pathetic.
But even though the games mean nothing to the season overall, emotionally this game still means a lot to hardcore Oilers and Flames fans. Both camps are bitterly disappointed in their squads of late, yet Flames fans will continue to see playoff games featuring their favorite team. The OilersNation, again, will not.
TLP and Wanye have been accused of being the same person in the past. A quick search at the "imaginary internet people directory" shows they are very different. One hails from the Boston area, the other from the frozen tundra of E-town. One loves Hannah Montana, the other Billy Ray Cyrus. Both believe that their respective teams have completely dropped the ball and are willing to discuss tonight:
TLP: I have complied a list of five Reasons why the Flames have been the bigger disappointment, and by "compiled," I mean, "hastily scribbled down on the back of my suicide note while I read a pamphlet on noose preparation."
- Miikka Kiprusoff has a 2.85 GAA and .892 sv % since the deadline and has lost in nine of his 16 appearances.
- Dion Phaneuf, a Norris Trophy nominee just last year, has been on the ice for 116 goals against this year and is currently a -11.
- Despite a much better group around him, Jarome Iginla's goal total has dropped from 50 in 82 games in 2007-08 to 35 in 80 this year.
- Calgary hasn't scored a power play goal since March 23 and has given up five or more goals 16 times this year, including two eight-goal nights. The two teams that scored eight were Toronto and Tampa. Yes, you read that correctly.
- Calgary's likely playoff opponent, barring a literal miracle taking place and the Lord Our Savior Jesus Christ intervening and preventing the Canucks from earning two points this weekend, is Chicago. The Flames went 0-3-1 against the Blackhawks this year and allowed 19 goals in four games. They also only scored seven.
So, y'know, the Flames are pretty much boned.
Wanye: Be that as it may one must remember that you Flames fans get little sympathy in the OilersNation because: a) we hate you and b) you are at least going to be able to see a first round exit. Up here? Not so much.
So here are five reasons why the Oilers have been the bigger dissappointment, by Wanye von Gretz IV.
- The Edmonton Oilers have not won more games than they've lost in any season since the lockout.
- No Oiler has scored 30 goals since Ryan Smyth was traded for a) a forward with 29 total points b) a forward prospect who has spent the entire year in the AHL, with 1 goal to show for it and c) a draft pick spent on a defenseman who may not even get an entry level contract.
- The entire organization is screwed. The Oilers farm team is so bad that of all the players to spend the entire season there, only one has a positive plus-minus — a 32-year old journeyman who spent last season in Austria.
- Mathieu Garon, expected to be the starting goaltender, floundered so badly that he lost his job and was traded midseason. The 24-year old prospect who replaced him as backup not only has worse numbers but is trusted so little that he hasn't started an NHL game since November.
- Outside of Ales Hemsky, no Oilers' forward has even 20 goals. Only one team in the NHL has both a worse penalty kill and a worse powerplay than the Oilers and only two teams have scored fewer goals at home than the Oilers.We just can't stop at five, either...
- The Oilers best goal-scorer is in a nine-way tie for 73rd in the NHL.
- Andrew Cogliano is on pace to be the NHL's worst faceoff man in the last decade. Sam Gagner is only marginally better.
- No Oilers player managed to reach a point per game pace this season.
- The Oilers best defensive prospect at the start of the season, Taylor Chorney, is -29 in the AHL. The Oilers are so bad that he's currently on their NHL roster.
- Having said all of that they are still better than the Flames, who can expect back to back ass kickings from the Oilers en route to a first-round exit.
TLP: Yeah, you're right. You guys really are the worst.
Enjoy the game, everyone.
solid night. Hopefully this will continue tomorrow evening. Proud of Deslauriers for playing great and taking 1st star. Best I have felt after a game in a long time.
This post season will be one of the most interesting ones in a while. Can't wait to see what Tambo and Crew do.

Wow. There were a couple of oilers fans gloating after the game, ya know rubbing the score in, calgarys one cup and the flames fans comeback "grow a mullet" everyne started laughing at the poor fool
I suspect they won't do much although they say they will. They are up against the cap and need a goalie, a first line center and a shut down defenseman, so not much really. Oh ya, forgot they have no farm system

More often, however, the male is fooled by another male, generally much older, who will impersonate his "dream girl" for his own sick, sadistic pleasure.
@ albundy: I think our farm system is on it's way up. I have a friend who is playing hockey at a college just outside Boston and frequently goes to Springfield to watch and he said that since the coaching change down there the team has been much better. I am not sure what their record was in the last 20 games but I don't think we should lose hope in the farm team yet.
Lets face it, the Oil have not paid attention to the farm for a long time. Gee, they didn't even have their own team for how long
@ David S:
Lol! Reading through these comments, it looks like Oilers Nation was taken over by a few drunks. Desjauri...what!?

The best part about Sandra's constant reference to "Desjarlais" is the fact that my girlfriend has been calling JDD that name all season.

Should the good misguided folks at Flamesnation.ca post up that "To be the man, you got to beat the man" blog they posted up after the last Flames/Oilers game?

Skip to comments.Bob Dylan predicts Obama 'in a landslide'
Posted on 11/06/2012 12:07:15 AM PST by Free ThinkerNY
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Bob Dylan says he thinks President Barack Obama is going to win a landslide.
Dylan made the prediction Monday night midway through the song "Blowin' in the Wind" during a concert in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbs3springfield.com ...
Don't do drugs, kids
Well that's good enough for me....
I'm not going to vote now, it's pointless....
Bob Dylan is full of it!
When will we be able to compete with this kool propaganda... not joking!
Maybe it was a mis-translation. I haven't been able to understand a word he's said in years.
He's the Obama of 60's music. No talent with empty words and a press that worshiped him.
He just said that to keep the hippies at the concert away from the polls. If they already think it's in the bag they will stay home and smoke more dope instead of voting.
It's just a theory, and it's mine, and I don't even believe it myself.
I doubt it.
He's a Christian and knows better.
Yup...check out how the AP threw themselves at him with that quote and made the headline.
I think you may be right. Bob Dylan is completely unintelligible!
And we should pay heed to the mumblings of a washed-up, half-dead coke head?
I wonder if he and Ozzie Osbourne understand each other?
We have watched for four years in amazement and in fact have had many hearty laughs at the left's incredible ridiculousness. But we ain't seen nothing compared to tomorrow night folks. They're spin will be the funniest sh*t I have seen in a long time.
Switching gears....Don't you just love how the left talks bout racism crying that we should all be one...but look at the constant parsing of races and demographics and all those silly ass shows Soledad O'Brien does about race. Give it a rest! I thought race didn't matter, why are you constant;y harping on it?
hey bobbie the times-they -are a-changing...back!
Evvverybody must get stoned, and ol' Bob's got a head start.
Shut up and sing.
Dylan was not a doper
But he was a folkie freedom rider
I wish he'd done drugs instead
Another idiot sadly
Time to link to the "This is your brain on drugs" fried egg commercial.
Dylan used to be for change! :-)
Hey Bob, stick to not singing worth a damn, cuz you REALLY suck at election predictions.
I thought I read somewhere that he turned away from Christianity some years back.
Huh... Well, this is certainly unexpected and disappointing from Dylan.
I'll be seeing him in concert in 2 weeks and I'll be sure to yell, "Ubama in a landslisde", sometime during his set.
Probably during 'Blowin' in the Wind'.
Made the prediction while blowing the wind, how sad he has so much gas that he passed obama.
'o talent with empty words and a press that worshiped him.'
but you gotta admit ....he is blowin in the wind..
otoh...the lad lacks useful answers....my guess with evidence like this is that he's a democrat...
***** "Dont do drugs, kids"*****
You nailed it
Just look how well the left conviced us that this guy was a guru in the 60's and a legend today. Much like they convinced us that the community organizer and chief was the messiah.
Dunno. But it's not long since he had a concert in Israel, in the face of hysteria from the left.
Most of the people in the entertainment industry are liberals. Dylan is no exception but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy his songs. He's older than dirt and has been on constant tour for ever but not because he has to. It's just what he does. Still one of the greatest song writers of all time. Just got his politics wrong compared to mine.
When asked to explainl his comment Mr. Dylan responded, 'Izza beeza gon. Bama zabba. Votey pessa in da win."
Now that, is a brilliant summerization!"
Hey, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, and you don't need a washed up aged rock star to know which way the election goes.
Maybe he's writing a new song:
"Obama in a landslide
Tea Party gone and died
Biden talking trannies
Ryan killing grannies ..."
7,000==>8,000 showing up for a FREE Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen double ticket with a side dish of "O" ... I see no enthusiasm..
He came out as a republican and the party invites and drugs stopped... he is stoned and drunk these days... you decide.
Dylan, you useless idiot. obama is what you used to warn us about.
He Bob - Don't Bogart that joint !!
I predict Bob Dylan's singing still sucks.
Hey, where are all the "Dylan's a conservative" Freepers? I cited Dylan singing at Clinton's inauguration as proof he's a diehard lib, but oh no, all the Dylan-lovers on the forum assured themselves, Ole Bob's really a conservative.

Miles Normandale and Simon Humberstone are in line to make their Cardiff Blues debuts against Worcester Warriors on Friday.
Miles Normandale and Simon Humberstone are in line to make their Cardiff Blues debuts when the region begins its LV=Cup season against Worcester.
Second-row Normandale, an off-season recruit, is named in the starting line-up while fly-half Humberstone, who has impressed for Pontypridd all season, is named among the replacements.
Blues make a total of six changes – all to the pack – to the side that defeated Benetton Treviso in the league, with a total of 20 players currently unavailable through international call-ups or injury.
A new-look front-row sees props and Tom Davies and Benoit Bourrust pack down alongside hooker Kristian Dacey.
Normandale and James Down form the second-row while back row call-ups for Macauley Cook and Thomas Young will see them join forces with captain Andries Pretorius.
Rhys Williams, Luke Hamilton and fit-again Gavin Evans are named among the replacements.
Ten players miss the game through international selection while Alex Cuthbert, Tom Pascoe, Ellis Jenkins, Robin Copeland, Josh Navidi, Marc Breeze, Aled Summerhill, Ben Roach and Harry Robinson all are out with injuries.
Blues have also confirmed that lock Lou Reed requires surgery to his toe, after picking up an injury against Benetton Treviso, and will have an extended period on the sidelines.
"This is the best possible team we can select for this fixture and we are excited by the line-up and want to start with a win. We are utilising our resources and squad and have to make sure they can step up to the mark," said Defence Coach Dale McIntosh.
"All these players are here for a reason, because they deserve to put the Blues jersey on. But every time they do that they have got to prove to us, and themselves, that they are capable or representing the region.
"This competition is about youngsters having an opportunity and them understanding the philosophy behind the jersey. You can train hard all week but you have got to be able to handle the pressure when you play."
Meanwhile, James Stephenson will make his competitive debut for Warriors in Friday's LV= Cup clash at the Arms Park.
The wing, who has been a regular for Cavaliers this season, is one of 12 changes from the side which hosted Bath last Friday.
Jon Clarke gets his first taste of action under Dean Ryan and is named at centre alongside Max Stelling.
Josh Drauniniu returns to the line-up after missing the last two games, while Ben Howard is given the nod at full-back.
Ignacio Mieres will start at fly-half, while scrum-half Paul Hodgson is given the captain's armband on his return to action.
Rob O'Donnell gets his first start of the season, while Jeremy Becasseau, Ed Shervington, Mike Williams and Sam Betty all return to the starting line-up.
New signing Andy Symons is named on the bench and there is also a place for academy scrum-half George de Cothi.
"The LV= Cup is an important competition because it gives youngsters a chance. The teams who have approached the competition in the right way have been able to develop the back-end of their squad," said Director of Rugby Ryan.
"The selections that tend to be made are full of youngsters looking to impress and play the game at a high tempo.
"The season is long and there are some people that haven't necessarily had the chance to demonstrate to me and to everyone else where they are. This weekend and next weekend gives them a chance.
"It's about building momentum. This club needs to focus on the total group. We need to create opportunities.
"We can't talk about youngsters and then starve them of opportunities and Friday's selection reflects this."
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Dan Fish, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Richard Smith, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Chris Czekaj, 10 Gareth Davies, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Thomas Young, 6 Macauley Cook, 5 James Down, 4 Miles Normandale, 3 Benoit Bourrust, 2 Kristian Dacey, 1 Tom Davies.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Williams, 17 Sam Hobbs, 18 Taufa'ao Filise, 19 Luke Hamilton, 20 Rory Watts-Jones, 21 Alex Walker, 22 Simon Humberstone, 23 Gavin Evans.
Worcester: 15 Ben Howard, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Jon Clarke, 12 Max Stelling, 11 James Stephenson, 10 Ignacio Mieres, 9 Paul Hodgson (c), 8 Leonardo Senatore, 7 Jake Abbott, 6 Sam Betty, 5 Chris Jones, 4 Mike Williams, 3 Rob O'Donnell, 2 Ed Shervington, 1 Jeremy Becasseau.
Replacements: 16 Nick Seymour, 17 George Porter, 18 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 19 Dean Schofield, 20 Jonathan Thomas, 21 George de Cothi, 22 Paul Warwick, 23 Andy Symons.
Date: Friday, November 8
Kick-off: 19:30 GMT
Venue: Arms Park
Referee: Gwyn Morris (Wales)
Assistant referees: Sean Brickell (Wales), Daniel Jones (Wales)

Chapter 21
Paul journeys to Jerusalem—He is persecuted, arrested, and bound.
1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the

Over the past few months I've noticed a profound shift in the items for sale on this forum. Whereas I typically read through the items for sale with my mouth agape, often wondering why I couldn't have size 9 feet and wear a 40R suit, I now go from top to bottom of the page, oftentimes not even recognizing the brands, descriptions or items for sale. It looks like much of what is offered here that I do not recoginze is composed of sneakers, jeans, or sweatshirts or such, but there are numerous other items (and entire categories of items) that do not interest me in the least. Is it me, or are the offerings on B&S moving distinctly away from the Oxxford, RLPL, classic-type clothing toward other kinds of goods, at least in terms of percentages? I realize that this forum is not intended to please me, or those like me (read old guys), so please, do not read a judgmental element into this post. Things change, and if that is in fact the case I'm old enough to accept that fact and move on. I simply am wondering if my observations are on or off the mark.

I remember building Lego boats. But nothing of this scale lol.
6 years!
Why didn't they put the bitch in the water.
That's fucking huge.
Holy fucking shit it's amazing.
I came and really hard
I'd like to be the asshole tourist who comes in to see, and before anyone can do anything, kicks it apart.
Now we need someone to film it being destroyed
I was expecting like an actual boat that people could ride in.
Still awesome, though.
Holy fucking shit :pirate:
jesus christ, you can tell it must weigh a fucking lot because they had to use lego support beams, would be awesome if it could float.
I don't get how it took 6 years though...sure it's huge and everything but 6 years???
I've built better.
Do you think lego will release it as a kit to build yourself? :P
That was truely awesome. :monocle:
oh man
oh god
so where do i get this lego kit?
"Sorry, our printer was out of toner! Instructions coming in four to six weeks!"
He should have built the Bismarck. It was bigger.
Bricks were literally shat.
I don't see how this wouldn't float. It most likely can. its made out of plastic and 22x3 feet long...
Imagine finding that ONE lego brick out of a truck full of legos :eek:
Man I wish they sold like just crates of lego that had no purpose. Lego is plural by the way.
I would lol if that goes into water, I think due to it's massive size it would sink eventually. or not because of Lego is all plastic
I bet that the original ship didn't take so long to complete. Really cool though
That is one helluva awesome boat :O
Amazing. :haw:
I shat Megablocks
The instruction manuel is the single largest piece of litriture on the planet weighing 1650 kg and has over 40,000 pages and diagrams


text: Although what some1 said earlier about with less zombies, comes more control, would seem to contradict with the possibility of them not being under control. Although also the fact that they were pretty much the best, strongest, and strong-willed of enemies would make sense that they might be the only ones still able to resist even though Kabuto has greater control. Fine, I am torn between the many possibilities.

I love rich people.
I love corporations.
Both provide me a very reasonable income providing them consultations and advice related to very specific issues.
Both are as diverse as all others less affluent than they.
What is interesting is, rather than demonstrating an error in the analysis leading to the conclusion you dislike, you feel the the need to create a "Strawman" to attack.
It is instructive when someone suggests that all Americans pay the same tax rate, on all sources of income,
an obviously fair, simple, and reasonable method of raising revenue,
the response is to attack the proponent of "hatred" and "envy".
A more blatant concession that no legitimate argument exists is difficult to imagine.
Perhaps some facts and analysis would lend more credibility than specious attacks.
Ah,... but that's the point. No such facts or analysis is available.
Hey, gotta run,.. meeting today for lunch at a beach front hotel with some of those rich people I hate so much. They'll be interested to learn of your discovery of my heretofore hidden animosity.

I've made this offer many times and haven't had to pay off yet. However, some people I loaned them my copy and said I would be them the finest dinner in town (their choice of restaurant) if they thought it was not a good idea. No, they didn't have to have dinner with me...
IF you buy the books, read them AND understand them and you're not for it or think it's a good idea, I will pay for the books (if you send them to me), so this educational opportunity is "no risk". I will add the books to my "share with others" pile.
Note: I will ask you several questions to make sure you understand the concepts and the rationale.
I have yet to meet someone that understood the concepts that didn't think it was a good idea. Granted, our elected officials won't go for it, as it takes MAJOR power (taxing authority) out of their hands and there would be some challenges in getting it implemented (interstate commerce and such, I'm told), but it would really benefit this country and is FAIR. Those that say the rich don't pay their "fair share" can't complain about loopholes and tax breaks, as there would be no income taxes. Oh yeah, all those people that get paid cash (illegal immigrants, people getting paid "under the table) would be paying their fair share, too...

Sorry, I'm not able to understand what you posted, it's not clear.
What is clear is you have a serious case of wealth envy and don't understand our tax system and how it works.

Your other hero, Clinton, passed on the kill. Could have saved us some grief. YOU deal with it. Actually, YOUR hero poser, Obama, was pressured into giving the OK. Deal with it! Sheesh..

After President Cheney and Vice president Bush got their con job done by getting us into Iraq, they could care less about Bin Laden. These two made off with millions and Haliburton was their catalyst. They F's the American public and are now laughing all the way to their offshore bank accounts.

I will seek counseling to discover my inner self and that envy that is obvious to you, but so unapparent to my friends, employees, and clients.
Meanwhile, please consider the evaluation of why a VAT is bad for the poor and working class Americans from a well known and respected author on economics, a portion of which is provided below:
What Is Your Opinion About A Value Added Tax?
by Mark Riddix
A VAT could disproportionally affect the poor. Since the tax will be the same for the rich and the poor; the tax will be a higher percentage of an impoverished personâs income.
Why are the poor disproportionately hurt? A VAT disproportionately hurts the poor because the tax would eat into their already limited income. For example, letâs say you have 2 different people (Tim and Robert) living in Texas both having to pay a value added tax. Letâs assume that the VAT is 5% on all purchases in Texas. Tim makes $50,000 per year and spends $6,000 annually on purchases such as food and clothing. Tim pays $300 per year in value added taxes ($6,000 x 5%=$300). Robert also lives in Texas but he only makes $20,000 per year. He spends $6,000 on purchases as well. He will pay the same $300 VAT as Tim. But are they really paying the same thing? The VAT is only 0.6% of Timâs income whereas it is 1.5% of Robertâs income. Even though they are both paying the same amount of money, the VAT is a larger percentage of Robertâs money. VATâs represent a much larger chunk of lower income individualâs money than other individuals.
Senior citizens and people that live on fixed incomes would also be adversely affected. Another negative is that a value added tax discourages consumption. The US economy is built on consumption and any decline in spending will hurt businesses and its employees.
Oh wait... Mr. Riddix must hate rich people too.

I admire your tenacity. Don't give up(although the libs will NEVER admit it's a good thing for ALL). Don't know why they can't understand that. Indoctrination, I guess.

Please learn something from these conversations, I likely won't be responding any more.
The FairTax is not a VAT. BTW, do you know what the prebate is and why it would eliminate the FairTax for ALL up to the poverty level?
BTW, how was lunch? I just had a great workout and am about to enjoy mine...:)

1-ID is a dedicated high-energy x-ray scattering beamline operating in the 50-130 keV range. The x-ray optics are optimized for high-energy x-ray usage and high-energy resolution, and several focusing modes are available. Supported high-energy techniques include macroscopic stress/texture determination, single-grain diffraction microscopy (HEDM), pair-distribution function measurements, powder diffraction, and small-angle scattering. Support for various in-situ environments is available including thermo-mechanical deformation.
The beamline is run by Linux workstations and VME-based electronics. The VME-based equipment is controlled by EPICS. There are several software clients that use EPICS including MEDM, SPEC and Python. Other computers, such as PCs, are used to run specialized pieces of equipment (e.g., area detectors). FPGAs and associated code (SoftGlue) used for detector-motion synchronization in high-demand applications.

The Green River Pirate's hosted Whitehorse last Friday night in basketball and both home teams came away with a win. The boy's team won 51-46 after the girls had won 71-52.
Kaden Robertson had a good game as he scored 20 points in the contest to lead the Pirates to the region win. Green River is leading the region with a 4-1 record. They have three region games remaining.
Green River outscored Whitehorse in each of the first two periods to enjoy a 25-18 lead at the half. They won the first period 12-8 and the second 15-10. Whitehorse outscored the Pirates 14-12 in each of the second half quarters to narrow the gap but could not come away with the upset.
Also scoring in double figures for Green River was Kaleb Fail with 10 points. Brent Johnson was held to 9 points in the game. Weston Vetere scored 6 points, Brennan Bigelow had 3 points, Jace Vetere had 2 points and Adrian Lucero had a free throw. Weston and Kaden each had two 3-pointers in the game.
Ciji Vetere had her best game of the season in scoring 25 points to lead the Lady Pirates to a blow out of their region opponent.
After taking the early lead at 18-11 after the first period, the two teams battled to a 50-45 game after three periods. With Cigi scoring 8 points in the final period to lead the way, Green River won the quarter 21-7 to get the win. Green River is now 5-0 in region play with three region games left.
Three other Pirates ended the game in double figures. Charle Vetere scored 14 points, Heidi Vetere scored 12 points and Adrianna Cordova also scored 12 points. Whitney Bigelow ended the game with 8 points to round out the Green River scoring.

Toulouse tightened their grip on Pool Two in the Heineken Cup with a convincing 30-14 win over the Ospreys on Saturday.
Toulouse tightened their grip on Pool Two in the Heineken Cup with a convincing 30-14 win over the Ospreys at Stade Ernest Wallon on Saturday.
Two tries in the first half and three more after the break secured a full-house of points for the French giants, who now hold an eight-point gap on Leicester, who face Treviso on Sunday.
Toulouse led from start to finish, building on a12-7 lead at the interval to run out comfortable winners.
In an ominously powerful display, the four-time former champions dominated every facet of play in the early stages. Off the back of a dominant scrum and a towering line-out, the hosts had almost all of the territory and possession in the first quarter, cruising to a 12-0 lead thanks to tries from centre Florian Fritz and flank Yannick Nyanga.
Although both came through slightly fortuitous circumstances, the visitors could have no complaints about the score-line. Fritz was the first to go over when he picked up a loose ball before slicing through the midfield defence and then Nyanga latched on to a loose line-out throw.
But the Ospreys caming storming back and ruled in the second 20 minutes of the first half. Scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i pulled a try back when he took a penalty quickly and slipped out of Patricio Albacete's attempted tackle and Toulouse did well not to concede another as the visitors plied in the pressure on the closing stages of the half.
Toulouse turned to their scrum to get them back on top after the restart and the addition of Christopher-Eric Tolofua to the hosts' front row piled even more pressure on the Ospreys at the set piece.
The home pack lifted the intensity in the second half and, after several phases and despite some terrific Ospreys defence Toulouse's constant pressure finally paid off as Man of the Match Vincent Clerc went over in the corner, taking his all-time try scoring record in the Cup to 34.
The Top 14 side secured the bonus-point when prop Cencus Johnston barrelled over in the corner after being set up by Louis Picamoles for his first try of the season before full-back Yoann Huget Huget crossed.
Ryan Bevington scored a consolation try for the visitors, Matthew Morgan converting, but a Jean-Marc Doussain penalty in the last minute took the hosts up to the 30-point mark.
The scorers:
For Toulouse:
Tries: Fritz, Nyanga, Clerc, Johnston, Huget
Con: McAlister
Pen: Doussain
For Ospreys:
Tries: Fotuali'i, Bevington
Cons: Biggar, Morgan
Toulouse: 15 Yoann Huget, 14 Maxime Medard, 13 Yann David, 12 Florian Fritz, 11 Vincent Clerc, 10 Luke McAlister, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Yannick Nyanga, 6 Jean Bouilhou, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Romain Millo-Chluski, 3 Cencus Johnston, 2 Gary Botha, 1 Gurthro Steenkamp.
Replacements: 16 Jean-Baptiste Poux, 17 Yohan Montes, 18 Christopher-Eric Tolofua, 19 Yoann Maestri, 20 Gregory Lamboley, 21 Edwin Maka, 22 Jean-Marc Doussain, 23 Gael Fickou.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Ross Jones, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i (c), 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 James King, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Campbell Johnstone, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Duncan Jones.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Ryan Bevington, 18 Dimitri Arhip, 19 Lloyd Peers, 20 Sam Lewis, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Tom Isaacs.

NHL Teams Ranked By Cap Space
Jonathan Willis
August 22 2009 02:00PM
The fact that the salary cap has changed the NHL landscape is something that anyone who follows hockey is constantly reminded of. For the Western Canadian teams, that salary cap was once something worth fighting for; but a number of factors – most importantly, the recovery of the Canadian dollar – have changed it from a blessing to a curse. None of this is to say that NHL teams don't need it. The league will always have small markets, and they need to be protected – both by measures like a salary cap and by revenue sharing*. The league will also always have the New York Rangers, and for the good of all Glen Sather needs the restraint.
With teams like Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton all relatively close to the salary cap, it's easy to get the impression that every team is battling cap issues. That turns out to not to be the case; what follows is a list of cap space available to each club, rounded to the nearest 100,000 (courtesy of CapGeek.com):
- New York Islanders: 18.7MM
- Nashville: 15.3MM
- Phoenix: 14.1MM
- Tampa Bay: 11.9MM
- Columbus: 11.5MM
- Dallas: 10.5MM
- Atlanta: 10.4MM
- Los Angeles: 9.4 MM
- Colorado: 9.0MM
- St. Louis: 8.8MM
- Florida: 7.7MM
- New Jersey: 5.2MM
- Minnesota: 4.2MM
- Anaheim: 4.1MM
- Buffalo: 3.3MM
- Vancouver: 2.7MM
- New York Rangers: 2.5MM
- Montreal: 2.2MM
- Carolina: 2.2MM
- Toronto: 2.2MM
- Pittsburgh: 1.8MM
- Calgary: 1.4MM
- Chicago: 1.4MM
- Washington: 1.3MM
- Edmonton: 1.2MM
- Boston: 1.1MM
- Philadelphia: 0.4MM
- San Jose: -0.3MM
- Ottawa: -0.6MM
- Detroit: -1.0MM
Of note:
Nashville has a limited amount of payroll, but they will need to add at least one more defenseman (they have six NHL'ers, and the bottom three is a rather pedestrian group (Kevin Klein, Alex Sulzer and Wade Belak). On top of that, Patric Hornqvist (7 points in 28 NHL games) is penciled in as the second-line LW.
Columbus has been connected rumours-wise to virtually every offensive defenseman available; they'll need to add a puck-mover at some point. Given the Howson-Edmonton connection, it's a fairly easy leap to guess they'll add someone from the Oilers' stable.
Dallas could also probably use a defenseman; their forward combinations aren't bad but the loss of Zubov to injury was bad news last year and his departure in favour of the KHL is worse news this year.
Dany Heatley's dream of playing for the San Jose Sharks is all but impossible unless the Sharks somehow manage to cut salary.
I, like everybody else, am firmly convinced of the genius of Ken Holland, but the Red Wings signing Todd Bertuzzi and Jason Williams pushes them over the cap, and they'll need to address that before the season starts.
* Tony Gallagher, a columnist who covers the Vancouver Canucks, displayed a delicious blind spot for irony when he recently complained that the NHL's revenue sharing system was helping the Canucks lose games. It's ironic because less than a decade ago, the Canucks were described as "losing millions", "in flux" and Brian Burke was saying positive things about only losing 12 million dollars per season. I think it takes an almost total ignorance of the past twenty years for anyone who covers a team in Western Canada to argue against protection measures for small markets.
Not sure what is worse not making the plaoffs and being in the top 10 or not having a single franchise player and being inside the top 10. Tampa has 3 potentially 4 franchise players and 10+ mil to spend!

if Regier has forgiven Edmonton for the Vanek fiasco.
At this point based on the current contract values he should thank Lowe for the Vanek contract. a 40 goal scorer for 7.1 signed through 2014 sounds almost like a bargin!!

Need one more stat with the cap room, how many more NHL quality players do the teams need to start the season. Seems to me some teams may have to use an AHL 4th line.
Ohh the irony does this mean that because the Oilers have everyone signed that we don't have to start the season with a AHL 4th line. At this point I will take Phillys issues any day of the week.
@ Jonathan, thx ... saw Derek's article and with a little work, I can use stats to show Penner is really the Queen of England. The man has shown disregard for his teammates, coaches and fans, proven inflexible and unwilling to learn new roles and the contract, that he readily accepted (along with the attached expectations), is the one very noticeable problem for the Oilers. Other players (Horc) might be slightly overpaid, but Horcoff is incredibly valuable in all situations. Penner? ... I guess he's good at being big and screening the goalie.

Urban legends of driving
As a kid, I held my breath when passing an old graveyard on my way to school. With all those spirits in the ground, you didn't dare breathe normally — or else! At some point, I stopped believing in such tall tales. But with Halloween still on the mind, urban legends are part of the fun. Our subject, driving, happens to be loaded with them.
Today we search for the truth in some popular driving myths. These can't be real — or can they?—Peter DeMarco, Globe Correspondent Next
When I was 16 I lived in fear of forgetting those almighty nine digits. If you flubbed them up while reciting them to a police officer, he might — well, I wasn't sure what he might do. Give you a ticket? Haul you in? Bottom line: I never wanted to find out.
As things stand, I don't know my license number, at all. But what if I get pulled over for speeding and am asked my license number?
"You do not need to memorize your driver's license number," said David Procopio, spokesman for the State Police. "Obviously, it was easier for a driver to remember when the license number was the same as his or her Social Security number." Next
Most accidents happen close to home — you've heard this one, right? It belies the idea that the more familiar the road, the more easily distracted we tend to be. But what's the definition of "close?" And do the numbers back it up?
The saying, insurance industry experts say, can be traced to a survey by Progressive Insurance, one of the country's biggest auto insurance providers. "The survey found that 52 percent of reported crashes occurred 5 miles or less from home, and a whopping 77 percent occurred 15 miles or less from home," reads Progressive's website. Next
The study also showed that 23 percent of accidents happened within a mile of home — that's pretty close — while only 1 percent occurred beyond a 50-mile radius. So the saying is true, or is it?
To be clear, I think Progressive did a fine job with its study. But I find it very odd that no one else has corroborated the findings. From what I gather, no other major insurance company has replicated Progressive's study. Though 11 years have passed, Progressive officials told me they've yet to do a follow-up. Next
Our last urban myth made me chuckle. When the reflective coating wears off your license plate, it supposedly can't be read by toll-booth cameras. That means you could evade a toll, and they'd never know! For the truth, I called Mark LaFrance, project manager for vehicle safety and compliance services for the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Oh, did he surprise me.
"If all the reflective [component] is gone from the license plate, it just looks like gray metal to the camera," he said. "You can't make out the number at all. It's pretty amazing." Next
"By and large, 99 percent of the plates out there will reflect just fine," LaFrance said. You'd imagine that older, green-and-white plates would account for the remaining 1 percent. But not necessarily, LaFrance said.
"It kind of depends how much salt and how much sun and how old the plate is,'' he said. "Some older folks put the car with a green plate in a garage and it never comes out, so it still reflects."

HealthSmart Foods Frequently Asked Questions How do HealthSmart products taste?HealthSmart prides themselves in providing incredible delicious products. Their products are generally considered the best tasting diet and protein products available anywhere with no sacrifice from their unhealthier cousins. Do HealthSmart products contain Maltitol?HealthSmart's products may contain some very small amounts of maltitol. Of the total sugar alcohols, erythritol comprises most of the amount and has a much lower laxative effect. Generally, their products do not have any stomach upset which other sugar free products may have. However, the fiber content is high and can have some effect in large quantities. What are Sugar Alcohols?Sugar Alcohols are derived from sugar molecules. They include sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and others. They are typically ½ fewer calories than sugar and range in sweetness from about half to equal the sweetness as sugar. Sugar alcohols, or polyols, may be used in place of sugar for people on low carb diets and people with diabetes. Unlike sugar, they do not break down completely in the body, so blood glucose levels are not affected. Are HealthSmart products Kosher?Yes. HealthSmart's products are certified LVH Kosher (Louisville Vaad Hakashruth). However, the packages may or may not contain this information until previous packaging runs out. Is Chocolite really just 30 calories?Yes it is. The extraordinary low calorie count is achieved by minimizing the fat content and replacing typical 4 calorie per gram carbohydrates with 1 cal/gram carbohydrates. HealthSmart's unique recipes incorporate such ingredients as 1 cal/gram polydextrose, 1 cal/gram chicory root fiber and 0.2 calories per gram erythritol. Chocolite has only a trace of sugar. Is Hoodia safe for children? HealthSmart does not believe children should use Hoodia since no clinical studies have been completed. Please consult your family doctor for clarification. How does Hoodia work?Hoodia tricks the brain into thinking you've eaten and makes you feel full. Hoodia may work immediately or take a couple of weeks to fully enter the body. Are there side effects from Hoodia?There are no known side effects and Hoodia is not a stimulant. All clinicals indicate it is a safe option for weight loss.

"I needed new running shoes as I'm on the fitness train at the moment :-) Had a pair of Reebok's I'd bought here a year back and was looking for something with more "shock absorbers" for the pounding on my Knees. I found it with these Saucony trainers!!! They are great!!!! first time using this brand but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks again as always DSW!! :-)"

"Very goodshoe. I have bad knees but like to run so I need a running shoe with great cushioning. This has it. I find that most Saucony running shoes have excellent cushioning compared to Nike, Aasics or others but this one is the best I've tried so far. It sits a little low on the ankles but it's not a problem."
