Boyd Gordon: Third Line Centre
Jonathan Willis
July 06 2013 09:32AM
Any questions as to what Boyd Gordon's role with the Edmonton Oilers in 2013-14 were answered by general manager Craig MacTavish during his media availability on Friday. "He's going to fit in very nicely into that number three [centre] hole," MacTavish said.
Lowetide wrote about Gordon last night, and his view is certainly worth reading. My perspective is slightly different.
Five Years: Gordon
The chart above shows Boyd Gordon's statistical performance in four statistical categories over the last five years; they'll be familiar to regular readers but here's a brief explanation:
- CorsiRel. "Corsi" is shorthand for shot attempts plus/minus - all the shots, missed shots, and blocked shots that a player was on the ice for 5-on-5 over an average one-hour period. The "Rel" part stands for relative - what we're doing there is adjusting for team strength.
- Quality of Competition rank. The player's rank among active forwards on his team in Behind the Net's Quality of Competition (we're using the Corsi-based one, though the site also offers a goal-based one and the difference between the two is small). This gives us an idea of the kind of opponents Gordon typically played against. Note: for years where he played for multiple teams, this is less helpful so I have excluded it.
- ZoneStarts. Taking offensive zone and defensive zone faceoffs, and expressing them as a percentage. If a player was on the ice for 70 offensive zone faceoffs and 30 defensive zone faceoffs, he would have a 70% offensive zone start, and we'd expect him to do better than a player with 30 offensive zone and 70 defensive zone faceoffs (30% zone start).
- 5-on-5 Points/60. Just like regular points, only adjusted for an average hour of ice-time.
The five-year record shows Gordon's evolution from a pretty run of the mill depth forward to a legitimate shutdown centre. 2010-11 was his final campaign with the Washington Capitals, and the year where he saw a steep increase in the caliber of his opposition – all of a sudden he was playing guys like Briere and Hartnell and Grabovski and Kessel and Kovalchuk with regularity. Phoenix – they seem to have a knack for finding this type of player - snatched him up at a very reasonable $1.325 million price point on a two-year contract.
Gordon's numbers really took off during the lockout-shortened 2013 season, and some of it probably had to do with the addition of David Moss – Moss has a very strong record as a possession forward when healthy, and Gordon's numbers were notably better with Moss on his wing than when playing without him. Competent help isn't a luxury Gordon has generally had; scrolling through a list of common linemates over the last five seasons, they are many, varied, and largely unimpressive.
Five Years: Horcoff
Horcoff did a hard job for a long time and never really got the credit he deserved for it in Edmonton – though of course he did get a contract. He had something of a down year in 2012-13; on balance he played tougher opposition than Gordon and managed better results, but the flip side of that is he also generally played with better players (save for that ugly, ugly 2009-10 season). Dallas general manager Jim Nill is betting that Horcoff can hold this form or something close to it in Texas; if he does the Stars almost certainly have the better third-line centre. Horcoff does turn 35 in September, so it may well be that the Oilers are getting out at the right time.
My View
The Edmonton Oilers didn't get better in adding Boyd Gordon and subtracting Shawn Horcoff. What they did manage was to move out a player who had become emblematic of the wasted post-2006 years, reduce the cap hit spent on that slot in the depth chart, and secure a younger replacement who was likely the best option on the market.
Initially, I didn't like the deal – the dollars seemed excessive – but after looking at the minutes Gordon has played over the last five years, and who has played them with him, it doesn't seem so bad. The dollars are less than ideal, but they aren't that bad for a good player and a needed one.
Recently around the Nation Network
At Leafs Nation, Cam Charron has a lot of praise for David Clarkson, before getting to what worries him:
So we'll see what happens. I like Clarkson between ages 30 and 32 because he's shown a lot of improvement past the age when a player's prime usually ends, but I'm not confident that he'll age like fine wine. Eventually, he won't be a guy with an elevated shot rate that results in keeping his team above even in goals when he's on the ice, and the Leafs have probably bought multiple years of "old David Clarkson".

That's tough, off the top of my head - both guys I really like as players. I'd probably bet on Schenn scoring a little more and Couturier playing a slightly better overall game.
Factoring in injury history, who would you rather the Oilers pick up in a trade?
July 06 2013, 12:03PM
Lecavilier has been making 10 million per for 4 yrs already. He will be a legend when he retires. He has a solid shot to be the player who made the most money during his career as a player. Think Jagr holds the lead right now as far as career earnings go.
Lecavalier has already made more than Jagr. He's the highest paid player in NHL history with over 120,000,000.
July 06 2013, 12:12PM
I'm with you that Grabovski would be a quality pick up and he's certainly worth than the $7 mil my pipe dreams are made of (few posts up)
if Grabovski signs for $4-4.5 at any term more than 1 year he actually will increase his income as a result of the buyout (Lecavalier is ahead a few mil as well).
He should be thanking the Leafs
No doubt. If I ever get that kind of a windfall I'm cashing in the chips and moving to Thailand to live like the King of Siam the rest of my days. But that's because I won't still be in the prime of my career, with the ability to make a pile more.
If I were any of these guys I wouldn't be doing straight math like you are doing, I'm saying "OK, maybe I wasn't worth my old contract, but I'm worth something close to it. Plus my old boss just signed the second-coming of Matt Stajan for stupid money yesterday and I'm better than him, so I can probably still get at least 80% of what I was making last week.
On the GM side they are probably doing similar math - this guy is worth X, but because he got a windfall he will probably take a bit of a discount. All of which for Grabo would seem to point to that $4-$4.5 number. Less would be better but I don't think that's likely. Although I was also one who said it was extremely unlikely we would get anything more than a used equipment bag for Horcoff unless we took on salary, so MacT may again surprise...
If MacT could turn Gagner into Coburn and Couturier I would go from hater to fan in short order, especially if he follows with signing Grabovski.
Hall - RNH -Eberle.
Couturier - Grabovski - Yak.
MPS - Gordon - ?
Coburn - Petry
Smid- Schultz Jr
Ference - Belov
Still would need a fourth line and a third line winger but that's a playoff team.

3rd line would get the toughs and crappy zone starts. Hall line gets second toughs and Yak's line gets soft minutes.

The way I think of horcoff vs gordon is horcoff in edm vs gordon, gordon is the better player but horcoff in dallas vs gordon, horcoff is the better player. Also if gordon is so good with moss why not hemsky for moss, moss is big and has scored 20 points in 12/13.
July 06 2013, 01:19PM
Happy Cat Saturday all! Just a question, what if ( a big what if) Craig said to Dallas "hey, gonna get ya a power forward today."? And Dallas replies "we already have one in MPS. Kid just needs coaching. I'm a coach. Let me give him a shot." Very long shot, but I have to believe the coach has a little input like (expletive) Carlyle.
I think the biggest thing that JWillis is forgetting the most important question is will Gordon be a better player than Horcoff in 2013-14.
While the 5 year comparison is useful. Gordon has a few up arrows on his improving play.
Horcoff has down arrows on his play.
To often the Oilers have been on the wrong end of that formula (Belanger, Khabibulin)
The Oilers are a better team today if Gordon outplays Horcoff this here. At it says here he will... you can copy and paste this to me next year (should I be wrong - which happens rarely).
I know Jones got some haters, but at least the signing is an NHL body, not some failed Finnish experiment or career 30 year old AHL vet or coaches kid. Makes me sad we missed out on Pouliot and Laperierre on bargain contracts, so I am hopeful Jones is on a 1-1.3. I think there are a couple fourth line bargains I`d take a flyer on to round out the bottom of the order. Only 3 more forward holes to fill, yippy.
I wonder what it will take to bring the Jagrmeister to Edmonton.
I am uncertain about how Jones will rebound this season. If he comes back with the determination that he spoke of in his comments after resigning then the signing may be a good one. He needs to bring the physicality every night. He needs to bring the truculence. The anger.If not he will toiling in the minors pretty darn fast.Hope he returns to form. If he does it will be a value signing.

I think the eye injury had a big effect. Hopefully, with a full training camp he will return to form.
How long till all these, so called overpays, come home to roost? If Edmonton has to overpay for role players such as Gordon. What will that do to the Oilers cap situation in 5 yrs when/if they're running with the top teams in the league.
Maybe Bettman could add 20% to the Oilers cap to accommodate for this, so called "Northern Living Allowance". Not going to happen I know, but when is this accepted "Edmonton has to overpay" going to bite them in the arse?
You mean in 5 yrs when the cap is 80 mil? Rest assured we won't have cap issues. Everyone knows one of the kids will have to be moved by then to take the next step.
With all the D depth we have in the system now, they can start bringing in younger cheaper otions as the older more expensive options move out.
Yes, as well as 6 yrs at 4.75 I believe. I'd take him, but not ahead of Sean or Braydon.
So does Coburn
Tyler wrote a good piece on this.
Good article Mr. JW...
I believe very much that Gordon is a very good "defensive, young enough" player worth the contract. I am a "Shawn Horcoff the player" fan but not for that contract he got (not blaming him for that).
Gordon represents top defence mostly so as for the young and gun kids to get going more offensively. He will help out the PK big time (now likely paired with Smyth & Jonsey too).
The Oilers are now lacking three things IMO for this coming season... a top LW for the 2nd line, a strong gritty 4th line centre who can slot into the #3 line (when concerning injuries of others), and a tougher big 4th line enforcer.
A better top faceoff two way 2nd line center is in that equation too...unless Gagner keeps proving that this last yr was one step of many going forward/upward..
If the Oilers/Eakins can somehow get Ben Eager to get going and slug it out the right way on the 4th line, with a new centre and say,...RW Joensuu... or even Mike Brown (without allowing opposition scoring as much) then he this that Oilers' needed effective and good player on a good line. Thats hoping come from me on Eager though.
I would like to know more of this referred of good skating tougher decent size 4th line centre the Oilers got with Eakins blessing...Ryan Hamilton (just past Capt of the marlies)
To get those three type players for the Oilers this summer...we have some very good assets to start trading now and those mainly are...
future draft picks, then S. Gagner (if Contract too big), N.Schultz or Smid, Lander, Hartikainen, Rajala, Omark, Gernat, Musil, Davidson,...etc.
One of Schultz and Smid will be gone, especially is Klefbom is the real gem that he is being talked of in many circles..
Let the Oilers/MacT new strategy season begin!!!!

Angel Jered Weaver enters LBSU Hall of Fame
Angels All-Star pitcher Jered Weaver was inducted into the Long Beach State Athletic Hall of Fame on Wednesday night during a dinner and ceremony at the Hilton Long Beach.
The most decorated pitcher in Dirtbags history, Weaver led the Class of 2011 inductees into the ballroom, had the first seat at the head table and opened the ceremony by accepting the night's first induction and weighty engraved trophy of a 49er.
He was arguably the star of the night – although his fellow inductee and fellow Weaver, three-time All-America volleyball player Cheryl Weaver (right), brought quite the head-turning date in Basketball Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.
Jered Weaver, who starred at Long Beach from 2002 to 2004 and became the 2004 National Player of the Year, was joined at the ceremony by his parents, Gail and Dave, his brother and former major league pitcher, Jeff Weaver, and his fiancée, Kristin Travis. The two will be married on Saturday in Newport Coast, with a Maui honeymoon to follow next week.
"It's a big week," said the 29-year-old who this past season signed a five-year, $85 million contract extension to remain with the Angels.
In his entertaining acceptance speech, the dry-humored Weaver was humble, funny and candid and at times, swept up in emotion describing the "long road" of the past decade and his gratitude toward his alma mater.
He revisited why he chose Long Beach over Cal State Northridge – "It was five minutes from my house (in Simi Valley) and I was like, 'I'd like to be a little farther away," he said – and over Cal State Fullerton – "They were into fighting and smoking cigarettes and that really wasn't my thing," Weaver joked to great laughter.
When he got to Long Beach, he said, he valued the school's traditions and priority placed on academics. "When I first got here, I thought 'Dirtbag' a bad thing. But it's definitely a cool thing."
Weaver credited 49ers coaches Troy Buckley and Mike Weathers (now retired) for "helped me get to the next level. Learning the game from those guys was pretty special." Weaver became a two-time Big West Pitcher of the Year and the program's first two-time All-American, leading the nation in victories (15) and strikeouts (213) in 2004 and finishing the season with a 1.62 ERA before being selected 12th overall by the Angels in 2005.
Weaver holds the Long Beach State and Big West career records in victories (37) and strikeouts (431), and is also the Dirtbags' career record holder in innings pitched (370.0) and starts (55). Weaver also set school records with 14 consecutive wins in 2004 after starting the season 14-0, and with 17 strikeouts in a game.
It was Long Beach that Weaver credited for changing so much of his life, on and off the field.
"Along the way I met a very interesting person nine years ago now," said Weaver, looking toward Travis, a former 49ers soccer player, at a nearby table. "Turns out she's going to be my wife here in a little bit.
"Never thought I was going there to find my future wife but she was there for the long haul and she's been very supportive over a nine year span. I know it's a long time but it's finally happening, babe!"
The audience of more than 500 prominent Long Beach State alumni and boosters laughed and cheered the Dirtbag they still get to watch grow.
In six major league seasons (2006-11), Weaver has made 177 starts, posted a record of 82-47, with a 3.31 ERA, 977 career strikeouts and eight complete games.

The National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony took place the night of Oct, 20, at 6:30 p.m. The ceremony started out with a song from the honor choir called "Canon of Praise" by Pachelbel. The choir did a great job on the song and really impressed the crowd. Afterward Mrs. Barnett and Mrs. Roberts welcomed the parents and told them about how the National Junior Honor Society worked. Then came the talents. A dance routine was performed by Brittnee Murdoch, Madison Winn, and Makalie Morgan to a song called "Magic" by B.O.B. It was a really fun dance. Then a song called "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" was sung by Kaitlyn Gilson, accompanied by Eileen Lofthouse. She did a wonderful job and her voice sounded amazing. A piano solo was then performed by Madelyn Carter. She played "Elfin Dance" by Edward Grieg, and she played fabulous. Savannah Woolsey then sang, "Castle on a Cloud", and performed flawlessly. Evan Swenson also did a piano solo and played "The Pink Panther," it was very intriguing. The honor society presidency lit candles and gave small speeches on scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship, with the success of not lighting anything on fire. After the candle lighting ceremony the new inductees stood and recited the National Junior Honor Society pledge, then filed down to receive their certificate and shake the principal's hand. Then Principal Johnson gave a very inspiring talk about our futures, and recited a poem by Robert Frost called "The Road Not Taken." At the end of the Induction Ceremony they served ice cream and brownies for refreshments, and everyone sat down to talk, then slowly everyone left from a very happy night.

Jake Gardiner trade speculation: "No no no no no"
Cam Charron
October 07 2013 10:19PM
It seems that for 29 teams in the league, it's fruitless to speculate on potential moves brought up in the press. Most trades happen serendipitously and without warning, breaking late at night or during lunch and inconvenience reporters that get no advance alert. They have to drop everything and report on something they didn't know to be true ten minutes before.
For the Maple Leafs it's a little more straightforward. The Leafs play smack-dab in the middle of downtown Toronto, the proverbial Death Star of hockey reporting. The Leafs are owned by two media companies that own collectively two sports networks, a newspaper and a magazine. The Leafs are the centrepiece of the CBC's deal with the National Hockey League, with the Maple Leafs getting the prime 7 p.m. slot most nights.
It's generally advisable to ignore any and all rumours dealing with 29 teams in the league. Not with the Maple Leafs. Information gets out quickly and spreads. When something pops up written by a columnist or a television personality, such as the Leafs looking to trade for John Bernier, or to trade Joe Colborne, you'd be wise to listen. Rumours are almost always substantiated in this town. While Dave Bolland was a surprise, David Clarkson was not, and the public got a very detailed look at the negotiation process with Nazem Kadri.
So it's with that qualifier that I feel comfortable highlighting these passages from Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts column, centring around young Jake Gardiner:
14. There is definitely some level of conversation going on between other teams and Toronto involving Jake Gardiner. I despise the word "shopped," as it's more like a feeling-out process. If the Maple Leafs do decide to do it, it's going to be for a young asset or assets. So, you have to look at teams with talented young players. This is PURELY my speculation, but if teams like Dallas, Florida or Minnesota would be interested, you could see a match.
15. The Gardiner talk surprised me, because he was so impressive against Boston in last year's playoffs. There are scouts who still have questions, but most agree that he has a valuable skill -- he can skate the puck out of trouble.
If this is being brought up in 30 Thoughts, you know there's something to it. I can see a situation existing where the Leafs and Gardiner don't see eye to eye:
A theory on this Jake Gardiner talk: Players have been dealt because a GM didn't like their agent. Remember who started #FreeGardiner?— Steve Dangle Glynn (@Steve_Dangle) October 8, 2013
The other half of that theory is that if Morgan Rielly sticks around, Gardiner is effectively removed from the Top 4. Despite an awesome rookie season, Gardiner had trouble sticking in the Leafs lineup last season and spent way more time in the AHL with the Marlies than he probably should have. Stylistically, Gardiner isn't Mark Fraser. He's not a dependable defenceman that unspectacularly dumps the puck out off the glass and gives possession right back to the opposition. He's a possession player, has the ability to skate the puck out but that results in more giveaways, and more giveaways show up in highlight-reels, and lost is that the Leafs retain more puck-possession with Gardiner on the ice than Fraser or, really, any other Leaf defenceman.
In two seasons, Gardiner's Corsi For % was 49.6%, the highest on the Maple Leafs. He played softer minutes than the Dion Phaneuf's of the world, but the percentage indicates that more shots were being taken in the opposition's end than the Leafs. As maddening and scary as Gardiner's style of play can be, there's a reason why coaches all around the league are using words like "possession" to describe certain players. We don't have zone exit numbers, but given that Gardiner is good at entries, Corsi, and drawing penalties, I'd suspect that he's also good at bringing the puck out of his end at a decent rate.
And maybe 30 points is Gardiner's peak. It doesn't mean he's not a worthwhile player because he may not be a No. 1 defenceman. It means he's a No. 3 or a No. 4 guy with more offensive ability than defensive, and his defensive mistakes get washed out by what he does in the other two zones. Rielly in the Top 4 doesn't make Gardiner expendable—it means that you have another good left-shot defenceman to work with, bumping somebody down the depth chart and making the other pairing better. Depth isn't created by signing a No. 5 defenceman, it's created by signing somebody that has your No. 4 bounce down a slot in the lineup.
I don't know what the Leafs could get, but Gardiner makes $850K against the cap plus whatever into the bonus cushion, so it's not like dealing him will free up money to get another centreman. Maybe they're not shopping him, but I wonder what they possibly think they could get that makes the team better for this season? Is there another player, just as good as Gardiner, on an Entry-Level Deal that's also on the outs with his team?
We'll see what happens. It's just reporting, but Leaf fans and observers have enough anecdotal evidence accrued since Dave Nonis took over to indicate that high-profile journalists reporting on potential moves need to be with more than a grain of salt. We'll see how this turns out in the end, and look forward to watching Gardiner tomorrow against Colorado.
Just a few quick observations.
1. Gardiner was still suffering the after-affects of concussion last season. Head trauma is serious and everybody reacts differently. Gardiner took longer than some other players to get over his.
2. I think the concussion changed his style just enough to show the already sour Carlyle that Gardiner wasn't about to get too physical, relying instead on his speed, smarts and puck movement.
3. Ironically, Carlyle was a smooth-skating puck mover, but since he's become a coach he seems to resent them.
4. I bet it's just a matter of time before Rielly's style drives him nuts.
5. Leiweke put all his money on Nonis, Nonis was part of management that brought in Carlyle, Carlyle will probably be extended by Nonis and whomever Carlyle likes stays. Those he doesn't will go.
6. If they do move him, they'd better get back another D-man,'cause Ranger, Cpt. Pylon, Fraser and Gunnarson aren't world beaters. Franson is the only elite guy... and the farm isn't brimming with elite D talent.
We all know Gardiner has his flaws, but he is easily the most exciting player on the leafs D core. Last year in the playoffs, everytime he touched the puck something crazy happened. He would be leading rushes, pinching in dangerously, following up offensive plays. these are all high risk plays for a D man, but so exciting. I hate the idea that just because Carlyle doesn't like our highly touted Defence prospect, we will lose the chance to watch him play. I was fine with losing MacArthur and even Grabo, but for the love of god don't trade Gardiner.
There are too many Offencive D men on this roster. The fact is, Phaneuf maybe won't be on this team next year (Expiring contract, too much money etc.) He can essentially be replaced by Franson (we hope). The leafs need smooth skating, two way defensemen to balance out their three top defensive prospects who are all offensive (Franson, Rielly and Gardiner) Gunnarsson is a keeper for sure though, he is the most underrated D man, great skater, good size, decent passer, decent shot. if the leafs had three of him to pair with Franson, Rielly and Gardiner, they would be all set.
gone is the era of a slow, crushing defencemen. we need speed on the back end, active sticks, good passing and positional awareness. Gardiner brings this and shouldn't even be considered in a trade
unless it's for like Yakupov or something that is, I would still be sad though
I just bought a Jake Gardiner plaque from NHL.com last night. This news does not please me.
I don't get it but there's a lot about NHL teams that I don't understand. Three games into an 82 game season and a coach is fired. Three games in, and a top prospect like Gardiner makes it into the daily rumour mill. Can you imagine the pressure on Morgan Reilly if he sticks and the Leafs move Jake Gardiner? Here's a thought - how about the Leafs keep both Reilly and Gardiner and develop them? When Randy Carlyle was hired, my first reaction was, "Good, now the Leafs will develop defencemen who can handle the pressure." It still makes sense to follow that path. Let's see where the next 79 games takes us.
"It seems that for 29 teams in the league, it's fruitless to speculate on potential moves brought up in the press. "
But we in Toronto have bloggers like you, so viola pointless speculation article!
Excellent piece in the NP today re: Gardiner. Bottom line? For Gawd's Sake Don't Trade Him !
Trade Carlyle.
unless it's for like Yakupov or something that is, I would still be sad though
If that was the return, you should probably crap your pants with joy. That would be like saying if the Oilers could trade Yakupov for Crosby and Letang, they'd be okay with it. But still sad though :(
WoW - overvalued much?

Hipster Oxford
"My wife and I were sitting in a coffee shop one morning when she mentioned that she liked the shoes on the guy sitting next to us. I asked him what they were, he said "John Varvatos Hipster Chukas, got them at Nordstrom for $200." I liked them too so, ever since, I've been checking DSW to see if they had them...no luck (so far). So when they got in the Hipster Oxford for a great price, I had to jump. Great shoes; light, comfortable (no break-in period), stylish. Now I just have to wear them for a while to get them looking good and worn-in...that won't be a problem!"

Cute shoe, iffy sizing
"This shoe is soft leather, made in Italy. It looks adorable out of the box but not all that flattering on my medium width foot. I had trouble with the size. I purchased another pair of this brand which ran large for Italian made shoes, so I ordered my actual size in this one. It looked and felt smallish. I returned that shoe and reordered a half size larger. I could tell very little difference. When the second pair of the same shoes arrived the box had a different look. As with the previous pair they were wrapped in wrinkled, wadded up tissue paper. The sole of the larger pair had marks on them. The soles of the first pair had what appeared to be a price tag that was way less than the prices quoted on the website. These things will factor in when it comes to future purchases."

We like to think of these as boyfriend jeans…for boys. The Gap 1969 Max Crop Jean is a menswear staple for fall and spring that you can start wearing right now, before the real cold sets in. They feature a drop crotch and cuffed hem, sitting just at the base of the calf. We spotted these jeans on The Denim Guy and we had to ask our own male staff… would they wear them? The answer was a resounding YES! Paired with some converse sneakers, or a preppy canvas shoe, you can't go wrong with this casual-cool fit. They cost around $70 and are available at Gap.

Skip to comments.Boehner: Boost border security before legalizing immigrants (GOP Amnesty sellout is tomorrow 7/10)
Posted on 07/09/2013 5:14:19 AM PDT by jimbo123
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday said enhancements in border security must be in place before the process of granting legal status to 11 million illegal immigrants begins, laying down a new marker in the debate over immigration reform.
The House is going to do its own job on developing an immigration bill, Boehner said Monday after an event on the Capitol steps on student loans. But its real clear, from everything that Ive seen and read over the last couple of weeks, that the American people expect that well have strong border security in place before we begin the process of legalizing and fixing our legal immigration system.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
But Boehner has now said that "legalization" is the end goal.
Call your REP today and tell them you will hold them responsible for Boehner, Ryan and Cantor's actions if AMNESTY is brought up for a vote in the House.
'Boost" won't do it, seal the damned thing!
No vote till true security is achieved.
More Kabuki theater from the pols in DC.
The money is flowing into the House from the Open Border Lobby.
....and then King Baraq I can disregard anything the Congress passes and do what he wants to do. Honestly, could Republicans be any more worthless than Boehner and his fellow liberals?
They don't need to add border security to any new bill.
They are ALREADY supposed to be securing the border.
Why add a law they are already ignoring to a new bill?
Border Security: YES
Legalization: NO
Border Security is a GOP-e smoke screen for Legalization.
Boehner feasts and drinks with Obama under the
laughing gaze of al Qaeda/MB.
He is a sellout to any conservative, as he substitutes
procrastination for action.
As if Obama could even be trusted to enforce that.
Bachmann: Boehner will use loophole to pass immigration in the House
Daily Caller ^ | June 18, 2013 |
I dont think we have a definitive on that yet, Bachmann said. I think theres still a loophole that the speaker might allow himself that he wont hold himself to the Hastert rule. In the shorthand, this is what I think is going to happen the very bad bill is going to be in the Senate. Were going to have a Trojan Horse bill that will look very good. It will look like border security in the House. Conservatives will vote for it in the House. Both bills will go to conference committee. The guts will get pulled out of the good bill. Amnesty will get put in. The Senate will pass it. It will go to the House. Nancy Pelosi will deliver all of the Democrat votes and all John Boehner has to do is deliver the committee chairs that hold the gavel.
'Border Security' is only a small shiny visible part of what is needed.
What about visa entry/exit tracking? What about interior enforcement? What about having ICE respond to calls from local authorities who pick up people who are here illegally? What about enforcement of deportation orders for politically connected Kenyan aunts? ...
The United States is already obligated by the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, to secure every state against invasion.
We the People cannot allow them to use their own dereliction of duty as an excuse to further destroy our national sovereignty and the rule of law.
Make it clear to your congressman that you consider a single ounce of support for this monstrosity to be a firing offense.
Rove's "Border Security" charade has been Boehner's game plan to get Amnesty passed from the get-go.
The republican party is an extension of the democrat party, both support New World Oder fascist government here in America.
Sad thing is we who are against this whole idea are the ones they are going to steal more money from to pay for it all.
"Border security," the success of which is certified by whom? Janet Napolitano, who claimed three years ago the border is already secure?
So why dont we concoct this plan where we have a quasi open border and anyone with their piggy toes over the line can be here legally...and VOTE.
The bill is so convoluted and unenforceable that the only effects will be that ANYONE in this country is here legally.
"Boost wont do it, seal the damned thing!"
Amen! If Israel can do it—so can we.
Drunken fool.
Boehner is aptly named - his specialty is slipping it to GOP voters.
To me, Immigration reform necessarily begins ends with an "Inforcible Immigration Policy." I take this to mean an e-verifcation system in place for employers, National ID cards that can be swiped conatining status (visa holder, guest worker, naturalized citezen.....), social secuirty number, etc. Once we have this in place, I then want to see it work for a few years before I even consider any next steps with the illegals that are already here.
Also, I hate the wehn people say Illegal Immigrants are doing the jobs Americans won't do. This is BS. Illegals are doing the jobs we don't ask our own citezens to do. Instead of insisting on people in the lower rungs to working in the fields, we give people them welfare and other free-bees. I'm not saying field work is a life-long career, but its the perfect kind of work for a HS drop-out...until he/she gets his act together. Plus, its a great way to get introduced to work place.
American liberals are snobs...sticking their nose up in the air...and acting like field work is too good for the common American just starting out.
It's all a sham. Obama will just choose not to enforce the parts of the law he dislikes.
"The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government,
Boehner is a deceitful cowardly traitor
This way they can load the bill up with billions in pork and still take action on a bill that is about #12 on voter priority lists.
I'm so disgusted. We ought to be able to stop paying taxes when the govt stops having anyone who represents us.
Bah. Frack it
Or it will be washed out in conference, or it will be defunded. The ways out of any bill/law are many.
Looks like the amnesty pimps are out in full force.
Screw them all!
Republicans are using "border security" as the Vasoline to pass immigration. What is it with these guys? And we all know that any border security measure would end up as a complete scam with numerous ways and reasons it will NEVER happen.
Why is it that Republican voluntarily - willingly - want to hand Democrats a permanent majority? Why? I simply cannot fathom this.
Boehner is all the evidence anyone should need to realize that the GOP is beyond salvation and undeserving of continuance.
The republicans are just looking for a way to give in without looking totally wimpish.
If they can't find a way to do that they will just come up with some new words and phrases in an attempt to disguise their surrender.
Notice he said "enhancements" and nothing about the border actually being secure. An "enhancement" could be the addition of one more person.
If you pass this GOP, I will never vote for another of your candidates again.
How does one know that Boehner will betray conservatives?
Everytime he takes a breath
Still, the Republican National Party is a reflection of its dumb primary voters from ME to CA, from AZ to SC.
Exactly. Weasel words from speaker Weasel.
We need to march on DC with pitchforks and torches.
Agreed completely. Not only will they have written their own suicide note, but America's as well.
And I will never forgive them for that. I will hold that grudge until the day I die.
I will most certainly join another party, and if I have to choose in an election between a dem and a repubic, I will vote dem just to help extinct the pathetic GOP.
If I have to have commmies, then I have to have commies, but I do not have to suffer my own party assisting them and acting as their scapegoat and giving them cover in the middle of the night.
I will vote them out every chance I get.
Barry and his communist Democrats said they were going to destroy the Republican Party. Making the GOOBers part of this treason against America is how they plan to do it.
Any border security bill from the House is a trap. In conference ,they will merge the Senate bill with any border security bill from the House.in conference. people don't get this.
Tom Tancredo explains
call congress . no bill at all from the House. best thing is for the House to do nothing.
The Tanc knows
"Boost" won't happen.
And any immigration bill the House sends to the Senate will be marked up into an amnesty bill in reconciliation.
We're doomed.
Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.
Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.
Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.
Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives wont vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.
Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.
call congress . no bill at all from the House
and of course boner must not bring the Senate bill for the House to vote on. no senate bill, no border security bill from the House .nothing.
I hate them all. I won't join any party and may very well stop participating at all and just sequester myself away for my remaining years and look at albums of a better time.
Boehner, you are a freakin' scumbag. We already have a law to build a border fence. And the lawless aliens should NEVER be granted any legalization. You are a classic American traitor, worthless to free people. Bob
They just don't get it. We don't want 11 million unknowns legalized.
I confess I have thought the same, RC.
I find that I don't really care that much anymore. I mean, what's the point of wasting the time and effort it takes to care, when caring and even voting does nothing at all?
Sometimes I think I'd rather just spend the remainder of my time with those whom I love, and catch my ride home on the day it comes.
I don't really fear death anymore, but I am beginning to fear this place.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
This is the kind of ridiculous junk we worry about in Franklin
I do believe my jaw dropped to the floor when I read the FranklinNOW story posted on January 28. It began like this:
"The Architectural Review Board is poised to consider how LED signs should be regulated within the city.
"The board discussed concerns related to the signs Jan. 24, particularly those capable of displaying high-quality moving images.
"Member Ted Juerisson brought the issue to the board, noting that the brightness of the signs, such as the one located at the car wash on Rawson Avenue, can be overwhelming, especially at night." The LED signs, we were informed in the article, can be a "distraction," in other words, dangerous.
What's next?
Franklin's Architectural Review Board will discuss setting regulations for LED signs at its next meeting on February 14.
Seriously? Really?
This goofy group isn't doing this because of some epidemic or crisis. No way. They're doing it for two reasons:
1) They want to LOOK important.
2) They want to FEEL important.
Now mind you, this article appeared on the FranklinNOW website the very same day the bat phone was ringing in Mayor Tom Taylor's office at City Hall. On the other end was a Meijer's representative telling the mayor that Franklin could get bent, they ain't buildin' here.
Nope. They ain't buildin' here.
No job creation.
No economic spinoff.
No establishment of another consumer option in the business desert known as Franklin.
The reaction from City Hall?
No big deal.
And this classic: Hey, we might still have a chance at getting them to come. Oh, wait. That was NML. Sorry. They ain't expanding here either.
Waking city leaders out of their perpetual snooze was the worry that some poor sap in his/her car would see a brightly lit LED sign and recreate the Hindenburg disaster. I kid you not, their undies were in that bundle.
Reminds me of the time in the early 80's when the dinosaur known as Milwaukee County Stadium decided to put electronic messages on a board facing the expressway. The sheriff at the time predicted mass destruction on the freeway. Of course, it never happened.
I've built two homes in the city of Franklin. Each time, before I could proceed, I had to take blueprints in hand and attend a meeting for their approval. It could have been the not-at-all impressive Architectural Review Board, I can't recall because quite frankly, I wasn't impressed. I had to wait patiently for what seemed forever for this pompous group of buffoons to call on me to kiss their rings and hope they would ok the exterior of my future house. All the while I thought the approval for my home's design depended on a bunch of dolts who were dressed at the meeting like homeless bums.
Earth to the knuckle-draggers on this useless board: We are in the 21st Century. Every single stinkin' motorist can look over to the side of the road and see a digital sign that reads Dunkin Donuts has a special on donot holes and a large latte and not end up causing a 12-car pile-up.
This is the kind of garbage we sweat in Franklin. Over-regulation. It's the kind of garbage that prevents us from really, really, moving into the modern age and truly advancing.

Awkward stretchy fabric
"The shoe overall is cute on your foot standing around with nothing to do. When I walk the stretchy fabric by my heel pushes my toes out through the peep toe. I'm hoping eventually the fabric will stretch out because the shoes are adorable."

Tight at heel
"The shoes are just as cute in person as they look online but the elastic is too tight at the heel and really digs in after a while. I ordered a size 10 as I am between 9 1/2-10 and they fit perfect. If you are the high end of a 10 I would go up a size especially because of the heel."

Size up??
"I agree with another reviewer -- these shoes are cute, but they run a little short. They pinch all over. I would definitely go a size up. I have another pair of shoes, same brand, very similar style, and they fit fine. All be it, maybe a little too big. So, perhaps these simply need to be broken in. ???"

Additional Boat Class Added For Columbia Cup
The one liter hydroplanes will be added to the festivities at the Columbia Cup this coming July. Below is a release from the Tri-City Water Follies organization:
The Tri City Water Follies Association announced today that they will be adding 1-Liter hydroplanes to the 2013 Lamb Weston Columbia Cup weekend event.
The 1-Liter hydroplanes are an American Power Boat Association (APBA) class of light and quick boats that race at speeds approaching 105 mph. They are approximately 15' in length and are powered by personal watercraft engines.
"Water Follies is excited to invite the best 1-Liter hydroplanes in APBA Region 10 to compete in the Columbia Cup 1-Liter Challenge" said Water Follies President Mike Denslow. "The 1-Liter class is one of the fastest growing and most exciting groups to watch in boat racing".
Washington State has a strong contingent of these race boats, boasting a fleet that includes half of the top ten finishers in national points from 2012. The boats compete with several other classes of inboard hydroplanes in eleven races in Washington State during the summer.
"My family has been part of the Water Follies for a number of years as volunteers," said local 1-liter owner John Culver. "But this year will be special because I will get to race my own boat in the show, with my son as the driver," he said. "I think the fans will be excited to see the level of competition from these boats"
For additional information about 1-Liter Hydroplanes go to www.apba.org.

Ah the Superbowl. Even if you don't care for the American Football, it is a day celebrated in most civilized countries in the world where you can eat like the fattest American, drink like the drunkenest rummy and make believe that you have been cheering for the New Orleans Saints the entire season.
Bandwagon jumping is actually acceptable on Superbowl Sunday, as opposed to during NHL playoffs when bandwagon jumpers should be drawn and quartered upon sight.
Yes, for the one-day-per-year-NFL-fan, Reggie Bush is your new best friend, Peyton Manning is so totally better than Tom Brady and you can't even believe that it has been three years since the last time the Colts won the big one.
Tomorrow you will most likely have heart burn so severe that you are unable to even see a Dorito without shedding a couple tears and wonder what possessed you to crush two whole bags of sweet chili heat Doritos. Those are problems for tomorrow Nation, save the good times for today.
For the first time in recorded history, Wanye Manor is the proud host of our annual Superbowl party. We have bought enough beer to take down an elephant, have cut enough cheese slices from here to eternity and are currently working our way through the mess of the Manor to be able to make it presentable enough to host guests that might be offended by a half eaten cheese pizza in a box that was found under a winter coat on the floor by the back door.*
In an attempt to hook up all citizens of the Nation who will be attending similar parties, hitting up a local watering hole or are just sitting down with their better half to watch the game, we present you with a quick Superbowl Bandwagon Jumping Cheat Sheet - that if repreated will make you look as though you are the most dedicated NFL fan around.
You're welcome Nation.
*actually happened today
The big saying in New Orleans is "who dat." As in "who dat team going to the Superbowl?" "Who dat just scored a touchdown?" or "Who dat sports league trying to muscle in on a trademark that has been a common saying in New Orleans for almost 50 years?"
Apparently the NFL is trying to muscle local shops in New Orleans out of the Who Dat business and they aren't taking it lying down. We can totally see the NFL's point here. It isn't as though the small businessman in New Orleans hasn't been through enough of late - what with a massive flood and over half of the City moving away and all.
The game has been waaaaaay to easy for those small businesses to make a living and we for one salute the billion dollar NFL Corporation for sending cease and desist letters to Louisianian businesses demanding them to stop using Who Dat - something that the NFL have failed in attempting to copyright and have been only able to get the courts to agree shouldn't share a tshirt with a golden fleur de lis.
You know, the very same fleur de lis that has been a dominant symbol of the French Culture for nearly 400 years and isn't even close to being the property of the NFL either.
Oh NFL. Who dat bein' so greedy den?
The father of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is Archie Manning. The fine city of New Orleans is often referred to as "Archie's Town" on account of the 12 terrible - but hero building -seasons the Quarterback of the Saints and the Citizens of New Orleans shared back in the day. Archie Manning is basically the Ambassador of New Orleans and must be conflicted to say the least as his eldest son suits up against his beloved Saints in the Superbowl.
It's a good thing that Peyton is only one of Archie's Superbowl winning Quarter Back sons and that he can always fall back on loving Eli - who would never have the audacity to face Archie's team in the Big Game.
Oh Archie Manning - who dat so torn watching the game?
If Peyton wants to have any success chasing Tom Brady for the biggest superstud QB of all time, he needs this game to put the hammer down and close the gap between the two. Brady has 3 Superbowls, a love child with Bridget Moynahan and is currently knocking boots with Giselle Bundchen. Peyton Manning has one Superbowl ring and a series of funny ads where he shows he can be funny.
History is on Manning's side today though as when the Colts won the Superbowl three years ago it was also in Miami as it is today, so maybe Peyton can make it happen two time.
Oh Peyton Manning - who dat needin' to win today to keep up wit de Joneses?
New Orleans 35 - Indianapolis 24.
Allow me to be the first to complain about your outrageous audacity in posting a non-hockey story on OilersNation. I DEMAND MY MONEY BA-- oh, wait.
Go Saints!!!!!
Allow me to be the first to complain about your outrageous audacity in posting a non-hockey story on OilersNation. I DEMAND MY MONEY BA-- oh, wait.
I've considered putting stop payments on all of my cheques to bingofuel as well
on another note, did you know his first name is cash?
WHO DAT? Writing stories not about our beloved Oilers. Shame on you sir. Lol.
This is a tribute to pretending to understand or care about the NFL. Consider it a public service from our family to yours.
I'm just playing around, infact, I love the superbowl so much, my left arm is already tingling from love, sour cream, and aged cheddar
Found a CBS feed in HD that isn't blocking the commercials!

What's a "Super Bowl"?
Is that that thing at KFC that has mashed potatoes, corn and bits of the Colonel's Secret Recipe™ chicken all smothered in KFC's legendary re-hydrated gravy?
MAJOR props to Wanye for not only the Techmo Super Bowl reference, but to using an image incorporating Don "Majik Man" Majkowski.

Stop it, you're making me hungry.
Reminds me of when Ricky and Lucy met in KFC, when they had those new chicken strips out...
Is this the lowest post count ever on a Wanye article? Quite possibly
Also, Nielson & Chase with their Xbox sim game, how about that?
for those who never heard, they simmed the superbowl on the xbox friday morning and it came up with the saints winning 31-17! go figure

In The Video Room: The Flyers' Fifth
Pension Plan Puppets
October 26 2010 07:26AM
One of the things that we've started to do over at Pension Plan Puppets is to break down particular goals and look at what led to them being scored. This is probably going to hurt but today we're going to take a look at the Flyers' fifth goal. You can watch the video above (fast forward past the rest of the goals to minimize the pain) to get a sense of what happened.
Tomas Kaberle has just collected a stray clearance and can see Scott Hartnell coming at him. He has two choices: He can chip it to his left to Colby Armstrong (not pictured) who could then outlet it aacross the ice to Dion Phaneuf (not pictured) or he can slide it back into the Flyers' zone and regroup back in position. He chooses secret option # 3: slide it into no man's land.
The Leafs actually don't look in too bad of shape. Dion Phaneuf is at the end of his shift but he looks to be in good position to at least get to the puck at the same time as Danny Briere. Colby Armstrong has the time and room to get behind Phaneuf as back-up in case Briere gets by him.
This is almost the same as the last one but I wanted to highlight Colby Armstrong's posture. He's almost completely upright. He has not made a strong move to get back where he should be.
This is the killer on the play. Phaneuf was caught flat footed but he has to make a stronger move here. This is actually one place where going for the big hit at the expense of playing the puck would have been welcome. Hell, he could have even tripped him up. Anything but a wave of his stick.
The Maple Leafs could have gotten away with the sum total of their mistakes - Kaberle's giveaway, Phaneuf's soft play, Armstrong's laziness - if only Danny Briere had not made such a spectacular shot. Some criticized Jean-Sebastien Giguere but that betrays a lack of understanding of the butterfly. Giguere's taking away the majority of the net. This angle isn't the greatest to show what Briere had to shoot at but it goes in over his shoulder and almost off the post. Aside from being beat by a great shot Giguere plays it by the book. He's the only Leaf player to get out of that play able to hold his head up high.
That's a save Giguere has to make. His arms are tight in to his body and he's not sitting up enough in the butterfly.
His positioning was off all night and he's a positional goaltender.
October 26 2010, 08:23AM
In the first shot, that's Briere behind the blue line. There's a huge amount of open space on the far side there. Why is Dion so far back and why is he not moving forward towards it? I guess he wants a line-change. Look at the distance Briere covers to get to that puck while Dion has hardly moved. NHL players are used to passing the puck to moving targets not players standing still for 4 whole seconds.
The pass is slow and off the mark but Dion is sleeping.

Friday of the 4th Week
The Gospel according to Luke 9:12-18
At that time, the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place." But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish -- unless we are to go and buy food for all these people." For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each." And they did so, and made them all sit down. And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces. Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him.

High Level Meeting of the General Assembly
NEW YORK, 23 May 2014
H.E. Karel J.G. van Oosterom Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations during the High Level Meeting of the General Assembly "Achieving poverty eradication through full employment and decent work for all in the post-2015 development agenda"
Mr. President
Thank you for organizing this important and timely debate on achieving poverty eradication through full employment and decent work for all in the post-2015 development agenda.
Your concept note explores in an excellent way the challenges and opportunities in the field of poverty eradication, full employment and decent work.
[The Netherlands aligns itself with the statement made by the EU]
Allow me to also make a few remarks in a national capacity.
Today I would like to make three points on the link between poverty eradication, full employment and decent work. All very important issues for the Netherlands.
Mr. President,
[1. Poverty eradication and productive employment]
Jobs and employment must be a high post-2015 priority. Over 80% of households that have escaped extreme poverty have done so because the head of household got a job.
Pro-poor economic growth, undertaken in the context of sustainable development is the most effective way to raise incomes, generate jobs and permanently lift people out of poverty.
Growth must be twinned with economic transformation: shifting labour into higher productivity and more diversified uses.
Quality education is needed to enable this transformation and move people into more productive jobs.
Private enterprise provides over 90% of jobs in the developing world so conditions must right for firms to grow and employ more people productively and sustainably.
Businesses can play a crucial role in poverty eradication and sustainable development through innovation, technology and taking responsibility for social and environmental impacts.
Mr. President,
[2. Decent work]
But jobs must also be decent: secure, safe and fairly paid. People should have the freedom to organise and participate in decisions that affect them. Promoting decent work standards helps formalise jobs in the informal sector.
Women, youth and people with disabilities are often excluded from or discriminated in labour markets. Access to employment and career opportunities must be equal for all.
Women should have the same economic rights as men - to inherit property, sign a contract, register a business and open a bank account.
Stigma and discrimination are often the greatest barriers to people with disability obtaining employment - they should be supported to obtain and maintain employment.
A necessary condition for these rights is an end to all forms of violence against women and girls.
Mr. President,
[3. Social Protection]
Social protection can be used as part of a wider strategy for inclusive, sustainable growth to end poverty. It can guarantee a basic income and reduce barriers to accessing basic and maternal health care, nutrition, education and a healthy environment.
Social protection systems must contribute to a government's wider priorities and accompany economic transformation.
Interventions need to be tailored to the country context - considering when, why and how to use social protection systems — and we must promote equality of opportunity, first and foremost.
Mr. President,
To wrap up. Linking jobs, poverty eradication and sustainable development is vital for the post-2015 development agenda.
At the same time our focus continues to be on the disparities in achieving the MDG's to make sure that no one is left behind.
Our mission statement is "Kingdom of the Netherlands, your partner for peace, justice and development". We want to be a partner in sharing expertise and experience in these areas with UN and other countries to accelerate action on sustainable development and contribute to the post 2015-agenda discussions.
Thank you for your attention.

Acts of the Apostles 10:21-33
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
IN THOSE DAYS, Peter went down to the men sent by Cornelius to him and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?" And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well-spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say." So he called them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went off with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends. When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man." And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered; and he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me." And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, saying, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God. Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.' So I sent to you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."

|Posted by Tony Conner on October 11, 2001 at 20:49:19:
|In response to Re: Low Water Pressure and Water Pipe Size
Flow (gallons per minute or GPM) in a given pipe depends on the pressure drop from end to end. The greater the pressure drop, the more GPM. However, if you have a low pressure at the inlet of the pipe, you haven't got very much pressure drop to work with. To get the same GPM with a lower pressure drop, you'll need a larger pipe.
The nozzles won't add any pressure. That's where the water pressure falls to zero PSI (atmospheric). The flow through a given nozzle is ruled by the same pressure drop factor as the pipe. The outlet pressure is zero, and the nozzle will have a hole in it of a set size, so the greater the water pressure at the nozzle inlet, the more water it will pass.
The bottom line is - if you have low inlet pressure to your sprinklers, you'll need larger pipe to supply them.
