Dig up the ABBA gold!!

"There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando!"
Cue up that song dj, Fernando cometh to Sweden!
Santa came a few days late for the team and fans of Sodertajle Sk, but the important thing is he delivered! My old team mate and friend Fernando Pisani is coming to play with Ssk for the rest of the season.
He is a great addition to our squad. With three important games this week, Fernando is coming at just the right time. If I am being honest we were really trying to get Pi's youngest son, with whom the two of us skated before I came over. I thought he was better than his dad most days. Unfortunately there is an age floor so Pi is our boy!
"They were shining there for you and me and liberty Fernando..."
Can't wait for them to play that song when he scores!
January 01 2012, 02:46PM
Fist to agree with ya.
Did you get to celebrate a Swedish Christmas on Christmas eve Jason? With Donald Duck and Karl-Bertil Jonsson. Classics.
January 01 2012, 06:04PM
I was wondering about Pisani the other day, hoping (without much actual hope) that the Oilers would pick him up for the second half of the season to better fill the role that Petrell is struggling with.
It's great news that he'll be back playing professionally again, though, and I hope the best for him and his family in Sweden.
Good Luck Fern, you'll always have a spot in my Oiler memories for 2006. My wife and I had just put our newborn daughter down for the night, it was game 5 and we needed the shorty, nuff said. My screams of joy clearly scared the life from my wife and indefinitely woke my baby girl, it took an hour to calm her down. I still get reminded about that one today, but I always smile remembering the goal.
Glad Fernando found a place to play for the rest of the year.Hoping you light it up over there and get another shot in the show.
January 01 2012, 09:35PM
Nice to hear that Pies is continuing to play pro hockey. He was always a favourite of mine. Good luck Fernie!
If you like hockey, you like Fernando Pisani.
January 02 2012, 09:01AM
Good for Fernando! I miss him still (yeah...I'm an old timer that has trouble letting go)! All the best to you in Ssk, Pi!
January 02 2012, 10:59AM
Time to dust off my Pisani Jersey!!!
January 02 2012, 11:35AM
Two classy guys in Ssk! Is there a way to follow your games? Online stream? Something like that? Good luck to both of you!
January 02 2012, 12:13PM
All the best for Fernando... hopefully his health holds up and he can make it back to the show soon!
January 02 2012, 01:05PM
Hey Struds... send back updates of you and Fernando walking all over the competition! Good luck in the new year to both of you!
January 02 2012, 01:20PM
Glad to hear Fernando's playing pro still. Love the way he plays in his own end, I'll bet Sodertajle Sk's goals against drops big time.
January 03 2012, 06:15AM
Two classy guys in Ssk! Is there a way to follow your games? Online stream? Something like that? Good luck to both of you!
HockeyAllsvenskan games are broadcast online by Viasat (TV10 or Viasat Hockey) or newspaper Aftonbladet (S24): http://viaplay.se/sport/hockeyallsvenskan-live/hockeyallsvenskan-live http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/s24/ Current broadcast schedule can be found here: http://www.hockeyallsvenskan.se/spelschema/tv
Now, I have no idea whether or not these streams are available outside Sweden, but I guess you could contact Viasat or Aftonbladet to find out. Viasat/TV10: http://viaplay.se/help/view/support (Form is in Swedish, but you can contact them via the Facebook or Twitter links to the right if you prefer.) Aftonbladet/S24: firstname.lastname@example.com

And now he´s gone... To bad that Fernando wouldn´t stay but now I´m worried about you. Are we treating you allright, and are your family getting the proper support from the club and the people around it? I realy hope so, cause we need you to stay man, your awesome! Feels like I´m watching a NHL-game when your on the ice. Anyway- Hang in there! I´ll be on section A, watching and cheering as usual. P.S If you and your family need a homecooked meal, me and my wife would be happy to have you over some night.

"I just wore these for about 6 hours (standing, walking, dancing) and they really didn't kill my feet like I expected them to. They really don't feel high, and the drop is not dramatic, hurting your feet. They fit nice and snug, and you can wear them for about 2 hours without sitting down, without feeling any pain or discomfort. And they are sooo beautiful!! They really are the finishing touch to any outfit, to finish making it amazing!"

Matt Smith will make his 100th starting appearance for Leicester in the club's Aviva Premiership clash with London Welsh.
Matt Smith will make his 100th starting appearance for Leicester in the club's Aviva Premiership match against London Welsh on Saturday.
The 27-year-old will follow his dad Ian in making 100 starts for the club, becoming the first father-and-son combination to achieve this feat in the side's 133-year history.
Ian Smith went on to 331 appearances for the club as a back-rower between 1977 and 1991, including five Cup Finals, while Matt made his debut in March 2006.
Anthony Allen, Niall Morris and Adam Thompstone return to the Tigers backline, with Sam Harrison and George Ford linking up at half-back.
Tom Croft and Julian Salvi are named in the forward pack, with Marcos Ayerza and Logovi'i Mulipola joined by Rob Hawkins in the front-row.
Meanwhile, London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones makes nine changes for Saturday's game.
The Exiles rounded off their LV= Cup campaign last Sunday at the Kassam Stadium with a 42-14 defeat to the Dragons.
In the backs, Tom Arscott comes in at full-back and Phil MacKenzie moves from the left to the right wing to accommodate the returning Nick Scott. There's also a new half-back combination with Gordon Ross and Tyson Keats returning to the starting line-up.
In the forwards, Franck Montanella starts at loosehead, while Adam Balding, returning to his former club, Michael Hills and Ed Jackson make up an entirely new back row.
Leicester provided London Welsh with their first-ever opponents in the Aviva Premiership in September, but spoilt the party when they ran out 38-13 winners at the Kassam.
"We're keen to see how much we've improved since we played Leicester in September – that game was a line in the sand for us," said Jones.
"It was a tough day for us but we've come on a little bit since then and we're keen to see exactly just how far we've improved.
"Leicester and all of the teams in the top half of the table prepare for this period of the season, when the national sides are at full complement with members of their squad, so we don't expect any weakness in the Leicester side we play on Saturday.
"We've learnt a lot of lessons about ourselves over the past four weeks in the Amlin Challenge Cup and the LV= Cup. We've improved certain aspects of our game and we're looking to carry those forward against Leicester."
Form: Leicester Tigers have won their last four Aviva Premiership Rugby encounters since tripping up at London Wasps in round nine. The Tigers' only home loss at Welford Road in any competition since October 2011 was to Harlequins, 9-22, on 22 September. London Welsh's only win in their last eight matches in all tournaments was 62-5 over Prato in the European Challenge Cup at Oxford on 12 January. The Exiles' only away victory in the Premiership so far came at Sale on 21 September. Leicester have won their last five games against London Welsh since the Exiles most recent victory over the Tigers – 9-6 on 19 September 1987 at Welford Road in a friendly fixture. Leicester won 38-13 when the two clubs met in the Premiership at Kassam Stadium in round one.
The teams:
Leicester: 15 Mathew Tait, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Matt Smith, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Adam Thompstone, 10 George Ford, 9 Sam Harrison, 8 Jordan Crane, 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Tom Croft, 5 Graham Kitchener, 4 Louis Deacon (c), 3 Logovi'i Mulipola, 2 Rob Hawkins, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 George Chuter, 17 Boris Stankovich, 18 Fraser Balmain, 19 Ed Slater, 20 Brett Deacon, 21 Micky Young, 22 Dan Bowden, 23 Geordan Murphy.
London Welsh: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Phil MacKenzie, 13 Gonzalo Tiesi, 12 Sonny Parker, 11 Nick Scott, 10 Gordon Ross, 9 Tyson Keats, 8 Ed Jackson, 7 Michael Hills, 6 Adam Balding, 5 Matt Corker, 4 Jonathan Mills (c), 3 Greg Bateman, 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Franck Montanella.
Replacements: 16 Dan George, 17 Tom Bristow, 18 James Tideswell, 19 Martin Purdy, 20 Ed Williamson, 21 Seb Jewell, 22 Gavin Henson, 23 Rob Lewis.

Where Are They Now? - Rene Corbet
Kent Wilson
November 06 2012 12:25PM
Not a lot of Flames fans remember Rene Corbet these days. For good reason too; he was a wholly middling player and only haunted the Flames with his mediocrity for a brief period in the late '90's. Corbet was the first guy to sully the name "Rene" in Calgary before Rene Bourque finished the job this past season.
Corbet wasn't memorable as a player for any particular reason, but his name has stuck in my head like a bad pop song over the years because of what he represented to me as a Flames fan at the time: Calgary's fall from grace.
You see, Rene was one of the players the Flames received from Colorado in return for Theoren Fleury in 1999. Ten years removed from the organization's one and only championship, Fleury was the lone reminder of the glory days remaining before ultimately being traded for Renes on the dollar (rimshot!).
The Fleury trade was the club's final, bitter capitulation to inevitabilty. After approximately a decade of reigning as a perpetual favorite, a persistent contender in the late '80s and early '90s, the Flames fortunes had ultimately crested and rolled back, their prior crown now burnished. The franchise, once a juggernaut, bowed by years of shabby trades and undermined by a failing Canadian dollar, accepted its fate, swapped its lone star for magic beans and plunged headlong into the dark age known as "The Young Guns" era.
For my friends and I at the time, Rene Corbet was the manifestation of the club's unseemly debasement. His name was a perpetual, cynical punchline forever after - the symbol of mediocrity accepted humbly in the wake of past but fading grandeur. Eventually, the true value fo the swap would be delivered with the ascension of Robyn Regehr as a premier shut-down defender, but at the time the only thing the faithful could think was "we traded Theoren Fleury for Rene Corbet."
Where Did he Come From?
Of course, none of this is at all fair to Corbet. He certainly didn't ask to be traded for Theoren Fleury, nor, for that matter, to be the living embodiment of Calgary's Icarus-like plunge from the heavens. Wrong place, wrong time and all that.
The funny thing is, despite an NHL career that spanned just 362 games and peaked with a 31-point effort in 1998-99, Corbet was a pretty damn good junior and AHL player. Drafted by Quebec 24th overall in 1991, Corbet would go on to score 96 points in just 46 games in 1992 and then 79 goals and 148 points in 63 games the year after. It was a bit easier to score in junior back then (Ian Laperierre managed 140 points that same season), but the numbers are pretty good nonetheless.
Corbet spent a couple of seasons in the AHL before managing the leap to the big league and he was fairly prolific there as well. As a rookie for the Cornwall Aces, for instance, Corbet managed 37 goals and 77 points to lead the team in scoring.
By the time Corbet was able to stick to the parent club for good, the Nordiques had moved to Colorado and were stacked with talent: Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Valeri Kamensky, Adam Deadmarsh, Mike Ricci, Claude Lemieux, Stephane Yelle, etc. As a result, Corbet was cast in the role as checker and pugilist in the NHL as a youngster, in part because he wasn't shy about wracking up the PIMs in the lower leagues (although he wasn't the biggest dude at 6'0" and 198 pounds).
The problem for Corbet was the Avalanche kept getting better, stocking the roster with more and more stars at the top of the rotation. Before he was dealt to the Flames in 1999, the Avalanche had promoted also 22 year old Chris Drury and MIlan Hejduk to the front of the class.
When he arrived in Calgary, Rene was a full-on NHL grinder: the year prior, he managed 28 points and 133 penalty minutes. Hockeyfights even has a page dedicated to Corbet, a six foot guy who was a near 150-point player in junior. The NHL is a dream for all who make it, no doubt, but the price can be pretty high for some.
Rene would last about half a season with Calgary. He was eventually dealt to the Penguins for Brad Werenka in 2000. His final year in the NHL with Pittsburgh was beset by injuries, which provved to be the death knell of his pro career in North America.
Where'd He Go?
Corbet's days in the show were over and he was no longer a totem of failure in Calgary. He didn't throw in the towel, however. In 2001, he moved to Germany and started playing for the Manheim Eagles in the DEL. Unlike most failed, North American NHL players who jump overseas to flirt with various leagues, Corbet was in Germany to stay. He persisted in Mannheim for eight seasons, captained the club to several championships and ultimately retired as the franchises all-time leading goal getter. Not even Fleury did that after his NHL career was over.
According to wikipedia, Corbet finally retired from hockey in 2011 after playing a couple of seasons with the Frisk Tigers of, uh, some Norwegian league. He would have been about 38 at the time.
Like Todd Simpson, Valeri Bure and Rob Niedermayer, Rene Corbet will always be somewhat stained in my mind because of his lingering association to one of the darkest times in Flames history. Still, outside of that unfortunate circumstance, Corbet was a great Canadian Junior player, a capable AHLer, a competent (if unlucky) NHLer and a hero of near Hasselhoffian heights in Germany.
Kudos Rene. And damn you.

Any one know where Graham James is these days?

I wasn't as down on Corbet (or Belak), at least not until Regehr's car accident that summer after the trade. But with RR's amazing recovery and his rise to NHL regular status, all was good again and all pressure was off Corbet (and Belak), as far as I was concerned. This trade was one where the Flames did well in the long term, given their tough circumstances at the time. Plus, Theo turned into a total #%^*@ shortly after he left. Alright, he was always a total #%^*@, but we all loved him anyway.

Corbet for Werenka? I'm thinking that was a trade up.
I remember Werenka's time in Edmonton.
Thank heaven the 90s are over.

You seem to forget the Oilers are terrible NOW.
Nuh-uh, they are tied for 1st in the league.

I don't have any hatred left in me surrounding guys like Corbet. Not anymore. Enough time has passed that the Young Guns have this intrinsic charm about them. It's like they were puppies.
Though I have a hard time believing that I'll have similar feelings about this current incarnation of the Flames once enough time has passed to heal the wounds
I think the Flamers will get a lot worse before they get better

Great update Kent. Appreciate this series (if it becomes one). I am always curious about the players of the "old days".
Funny, I remember that trade as a Coates special, akin to the Iginla trade (a middling roster player now, prospect for later). It admittedly provoked similar outrage, a "we traded (Fleury/Nieuwendyk) for who???" But he was a UFA who seemed likely to bolt. The Avalanche were awash in hot prospects and Flames were allowed to choose from several of the four first round guys the Avs picked that year (including Martin Skoula and Alex Tanguay) -- I think the Avs disallowed Tanguay, however. Coates vigorously defended the Regehr part of the deal.
@Brent - yup, it was the "something for now" part of the YG era that doomed it.
A spot or 2 lower in the standings would've yielded better than Tkazhcuk or Fata a couple more picks, a couple more prospects and full attention to drafting and development and things could've been a heck of a lot different.
The organization has never really changed. Even when faced with those dire circumstances it was always 'win now.'

Hardware: Asrock ION 330 (DVD)
OS: Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
Display drivers: 185.18.36
Alsa drivers: 1.0.21
First things first, I want multichannel audio (AC3/DTS) over SPDIF in XBMC (via HDMI isn't necessary). Before I started with my days of struggle through xbmc and linux threads (yes I'm a linux noob), I had sound over SPDIF in XBMC but as so many unfortunately only 2-channel (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1212523). Now after my hellish search I lost my SPDIF sound, but only in video files which are played by XBMC.
This was after my last try to disable pulseaudio by this post: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/...io-at-bay/
All my tries with /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc didn't work so I removed the files but unfortunately no luck. If I'm getting sound back in video files I still think it's only in 2-channel stereo. Before disabling PulseAudio I had the strange thing that my amp thought it received a 2-channel stream but it's was in fact a 5.1 channel stream but only played over my L and R speaker. I can tell you, it sounds very strange ;-)
Does someone have an idea because I'm clueless at this point. Help much appreciated!

I assume you already enabled Dolby Digital and DTS playback through settings screen of XBMC?
I have no problems with my Asrock with SPDIF.

Yes, output digital with AC3 and DTS enabled and downsample to stereo unticked. When I still had sound over SPDIF in video files I had my passthrough 'default' and my device 'iec958', but what I said in the thread, still only stereo.
I haven't had any multichannel over SPDIF within XBMC from fresh install till now. It's really strange that some, with the same hardware, have all these kind of problems and others none.
Did you do something extra to get multichannel over SPDIF? Some configuration in a ~/.asoundrc OR /etc/asound.conf file to get it right or did it all work 'out-of-the-box' with a fresh install?
Thanks for your reaction.

@prae5: can you be some more specific about what you need (which debug log and how to get it)? I'm a linux/ubuntu noob so I have to google almost everything.
This what I can give you for now:

http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52259 (Linux n00b guide)
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=54705 (mostly commandline)
After installation of Ubunto 9.04 and XBMC and setting up audio in XBMC (digital, DTS on, DD on, downmix off), DTS/DD worked. Stereo didn't, no sound at all. All I had to do is run alsamixer (in a console window) and unmute the corresponding channels and I got that going too.
I think a clean install using one of the above guides is the best option at this moment...
If it doesn't help, see if you can try with another reciever, might be that the reciever doesn't except DTS/DD from XBMC?
Good luck!

@Mart: If all worked out-of-the-box what does your alsamixer say when you type 'alsamixer' in a terminal window? Does it show multichannel (Front-Left, Center, Front-Right, etc.)?
I'm going to do a clean install (for the 3rd time), so I'm curious if it will work. If a clean install would be the solution why wasn't it the second time already? I really don't get it that so many people with the same hardware have so many different results. Linux can be tricky for non-Linux users (like myself) but it's no rocket science. With all the tutorials it shouldn't be to hard and the steps to get a clean Ubuntu+XBMC install aren't really that many so why all the different results?!
If a 3rd clean install doesn't do it why would a different reciever be the solution? What I said, it only has problems with the input of the Asrock. It's not a reciever problem.
The next step (after 3rd clean install) is to test in Windows 7. I read a lot of threads of people with the same problem where everything ran out-of-the-box in Windows 7. Problem of a Windows solution: I can't use XBMC (a big shame(!) but this problem is really frustrating aswell.
I'm still clueless why this is happening.

UPDATE: 3rd clean install of Ubuntu Jaunty -> same bunch of crap. Now I didn't even have any sound over SPDIF within Ubuntu (yes I unmuted everything)?! Sound over HDMI worked but I don't use sound over HDMI.
I tested with Windows 7 and everything worked like a charm! I didn't even had to install any extra drivers. Full HD display output en DD5.1 + DTS sound output over both HDMI and SPDIF, so the Asrock ION 330 hardware is ok.
Unfortunately, for now it's or playing all my HD content in a media player with GPU acceleration or waiting for a XBMC Windows update with GPU acceleration.
I'm really dissapointed with this because I bought the Asrock ION 330 on the good results I read about the Asrock ION 330 in combination with XBMC Linux.

You could try running 'sudo alsaconf' from terminal to setup your soundcard again.
Also, why not try XBMC Live? Burn it to a cd and see what results you get. Im running it from a USB stick, but a CD is fine for testing. Unless you *need* full Ubuntu running underneath XBMC then it might be the way to go. Even if you do need it, theres no harm in seeing what results you get.
Im not saying if will def. work though - i cant get anything but PCM from HDMI or SPDIF, but im told it is possible. Perhaps we should have bought Popcorn Hours!

@chris2922: I think I tried everything also 'sudo alsaconf', nothing worked. It drove me insane. Again, it's unbelievable that there are so many different results with the same hardware + software.
The most frustrating with all of this is that my hardware works like a charm on a OS which isn't the best solution as htpc (with hardware like the Asrock ION). Windows 7 runs great on the Asrock ION but playing HD content within Windows (7) isn't also the next best thing. I did some search for the latest media center but that's crappy what I get from the posts.
Maybe I'm going to test with XBMC Live but I'm not sure yet. Before all of this I was bragging about the pros of XBMC Linux with VDPAU against a TIVX6500 which a friend of a friend has. The Interface TIVX6500 hasn't got a slick interface as XBMC (Aeon Stark) but it runs everything without a problem so who's laughing now! Bummer.
Thx for the reply. If I got some new improvements I let it know.

I had the same issue and the alsamixer trick did it for me.
Two things to note:
1) The instruction I was following said to exit X Windows before running the mixer (ie don't just open a terminal)
2) when I ran it, the channels to un-mute were off the screen, had to cursor right to see them.
The other much more simple solution is to use OpenElec instead.
It is a stripped down linux distro that boots strait to XBMC
It installs to and runs off a USB key and it worked out of the box on my Asrock woth zero fiddling needed (and has lightning fast boot time)
With a bit of fiddling you can get it to dual boot from the HDD with you other preferred linux distro, I couldn't be arsed myself, I just plug in the USB stick when I want XBMC.
Note that I use the SPDIF socket strait from my Asrock for surround sound. You can run into a lot of problems getting 5.1 to go HDMI to your TV then SPDIF to your surround. Most modern TV's will down mix it to stereo.
You really don't want to resort to MS Windows

Love At First Sight
"I saw these online and fell in love with the boot and all the buckles. I was a little concerned about the 15" calf, but it works for me, it's a true 15" calf so if you're bigger avoid this shoe. I usually wear an 8, probably could have gone with a 7.5 and still had some room, but they are comfy and I got complements all day today while wearing them!!"

What a great find!
"Got this boot in the black leather and I love it already. It's slightly long but that'll just add to the comfort when paired with socks. I like the buckles and details. Now that I know Bacio 61 makes quality shoes I'm definitely going to search for more of their products."

The score is too high.
The score is about right.
The score is too low.
They used to round numbers, so following the system that Cata was graded by this would've been a 9 too. I think some dude realized that their scores all started to look the same because of it. Regardless, score systems blow and they need to go away. But the big press sites like ign and gamespot will never do that.
I would personally give it a 8/10 so far, everyones final review should be when the expansion is over. Look at Cataclysm, it may have started very well with a lot of promisses, but it ended up being dogshit.
who cares about ign score, it comes down to what one guy who write review thinks about game. His opinion isnt any more valid then next guy. btw they gave cata 9 ...
When life gives you razor blades... you make a baseball bat, covered in razor blades.
I mean, I still am holding by my opinion of WoW if MoP is a success by checking out the end of the next two quarters and just how many players are running around by then.
Eh it's about right I guess. Me, I would give it a 9 so far. 1 point off only because they made very few new models for the new creatures and monsters just mainly new skins, was kind of disappointed with that but other than that I love it.

For your health.
Most reviews are off the questing experience. Cata was kind of graded of the new 1-60 plus the 80-85. MoP is just the 85-90. I think the score is a good range, questing was a lot of fun despite some of the scaling was a bit off.
IGN lol people still read much less care what they say, sad really that people still put so much stock in what a select few have to say about a game and can't seem to form an opinion of their own.
For the record I'm playing MoP and it's the most fun I've had with the game in years, just so no one tries to misinterpret what I've said.
U can rate Mop only at the end... the only thing u're givin rating now is "quest leveling"...
Fine, now we know u do not do raids or u've never had fun in doin 'em...For the record I'm playing MoP and it's the most fun I've had with the game in years, just so no one tries to misinterpret what I've said

What do you want them to review when It's like 5.5?
OMG NEW uh 5 MANS?
Yada yada and minor patches like 5.1 just advances the story. Nothing more
Really all these rating site are more for amusement than to be taken seriously... in fact that's really true of all critics. The only person you should let tell you what you will like is yourself.
Thing is, wow is aging a lot nowdays for obvious reasons.
Thats not to say its bad or anything, but same stuff - "same old".
When Wotlk came about there was what? Warhammer and some smaller mmos competing, so some comparision was made to them.
Start of wotlk still managed to "hold the crown" etc. Warhammer was hotkey mmo still and one of things it brought was pvp..and huge pvp battlezones. Otherwise it was similiar..only like age of conan was new. Not sure when that came (after or before wotlk)
Cata had similiar - no huge mmos near it..just rift.
Rift was hotkey MMO too so no massive innovations there either - at the time at least (and rift came near 4.1 when cata review was done already)
Now MoP came around GW2 and SWTOR both of which pretty radically changed the style of MMORPG's so theres some comparision to be made (they cant strictly compare it to last expansion - they have to see how it compares with GENRE/Similiar in genre).
Swtor had different combat system, tho still hotkey. Also was focused on story a lot. Bigger bangs than warhammer or rift had for sure (tho kinda died out after few patches, which reviews cant and wont take notice of)
GW2 totally changed combat style, added pvp..well I'm sure we all know what its done and added. In short, GW2 was also big budget and game-changer.
So comparing MoP to gw2 and swtor..8.7 seems pretty good score.
"when women wear makeup they're basically lying to us"
Well, I don't see why women are being blamed if man is stupid enough to really think they have red and gold eyelids.
Ign fails. Enough said.
Their scores are so messed up.
Edit: anyone remember how they made a huge article defending EA after it got voted "worst company in america", blaming gamers and stuff? Yup, THAT'S ign.

1. Could be a bad idea.
2. Yes to both
3. 2" is best at a 1/4" per foot, but pitch is the easiest requirement to follow.
4. It depends on how you run them.
5. Impossible to advise you with knowing exactly how the existing piping is arranged, but the answer is probably no the way your question is asked.
: Scott,
: Bad idea.
: : First, from first impressions this looks like a great list. Thanks for all the good information.
: : Now to the real questions.
: : 1. I am installaling a new bathtub in new construction and need a good schematic for the plumbing. I am a novice but would like to try it on my own (good idea?)
: : 2. The manufacturer of the American Standard Cadet Whirlpool bath states that you need a dedicated 15AMP circuit for the whirlpool and a separate dedicated 15 AMP circcuit for the whirlpool heater. Is this accurate?
: : 3. When positioning the drain for the bathtub how much pitch is required and what is the optimal size of PVC to use 1 1/2 or 2"?
: : 4. Once again Novice question...between the studs do I need support i.e cross bracing for the new copper plumbing when I bring in the new supply lines?
: : 5. All the documentation that I have read requires that the bathtub vent be according to local code. What is the normal and most prominent way to locate the vent? If the drain is tying into exsting drains can that share the same vent for the overall home?

International Aid
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Peter Kent Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas)
Indeed I can, Mr. Speaker, and I thank my colleague for an excellent question.
I am pleased to inform the House that Canada has indeed answered the call. Our initial contribution provided urgently needed medical services, relief supplies, food, water and shelter.
Yesterday in New York, the Minister of International Cooperation announced additional funding. The new pledge will help support the Haiti action plan and provide funding towards the priorities of the Haitian government.
As well, the minister reminded Canadians that our government will match the $220 million so generously donated by all Canadians.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Mark Holland Ajax—Pickering, ON
Mr. Speaker, from correctional officials, deans of law and police to former inmates, evidence that prison farms work is overwhelming.
Working with living things builds empathy and is restorative, and working on a farm builds work and life skills that are critical.
Yet the government is killing the program, killing it with no information, no proof it will save a cent. It insults farming, calling it a dead industry, and ignores rehabilitation and job skills used in other sectors.
Will the minister do the right thing? Will he visit the farms, look at how these farms transform these men's lives and save our prison farms?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, the critic is asking questions about the rights of prisoners to farm. Over the last five years, less than 1% of offenders released into the community found work in the agriculture sector. This just shows how out of touch the Liberal Party is with Canadian farmers.
Our goal with the prison system is, first, to protect the Canadian public, and second, to rehabilitate prisoners by providing them with marketable skills.
St. Lawrence Action Plan
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Bernard Bigras Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, the St. Lawrence action plan ended on Wednesday, leaving one of the largest rivers in America without a plan or strategic vision for sustainable development. Meanwhile, the federal government announced the temporary renewal of the Canada-Ontario agreement respecting the Great Lakes basin.
By providing funding for the Ontario section of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence system and abandoning the St. Lawrence, is the government not confirming once again that, as far as it is concerned, Quebec does not exist?
St. Lawrence Action Plan
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, revitalizing the St. Lawrence is a priority of our government. That is why we have invested $75 million in it over the past five years. We are proud of the results and proud of having decontaminated sector 103 of the Montreal harbour. The time has now come to set new priorities for the next five years. I hope I can count on the support of the Bloc Québécois.
Aboriginal Healing Foundation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, today, after the cutting of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, the government has left Canada's aboriginal peoples, residential schools survivors and their communities in the cold.
During the emergency debate on the AHF, we heard that Health Canada had some kind of plan, a plan no one has seen.
Why is the government ignoring first nations, Métis and Inuit peoples? Why is it ignoring their voices that say that the AHF works for them? Why is it letting Canada's aboriginal peoples down by refusing to save the Aboriginal Healing Foundation?
Aboriginal Healing Foundation
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon
Chuck Strahl Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, of course, we had a very good debate on this the other night which debate went on until midnight. We heard all sides to the issue.
However, what we heard consistently is that all survivors of Indian residential schools, wherever they are in the country, whether they live on reserve, off reserve, in self-government situations or wherever they are, every single one of them qualifies for help on everything from emotional care, cultural support, professional care, paraprofessional organizations.
We want to make sure those survivors are well looked after, and we have a plan to do that.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Candice Bergen Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, the unfortunate misnaming of H1N1 influenza last year had the potential to severely affect pork producers in my riding and across Canada.
The Canadian Pork Council president recently thanked the government, saying the ministers of agriculture and international trade acted quickly on behalf of the industry by effectively coordinating department actions to minimize market disruptions and quickly resolve issues that did occur.
Can the minister please tell the House how the government is continuing to work on behalf of Canadian pork producers?
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleague from Portage—Lisgar for the great work she has done on this file.
Certainly it was my pleasure, on behalf of the agricultural department, this government as a whole and of course our new market access secretariat, to accept that award on their behalf for the great work that was done.
As members know, Canada's pork industry is world class and it exports to over 110 countries. That is why we have invested $17 million to help better market Canadian pork around the world and keep proving that Canadian pork is safe.
I know if the leader of the Liberals were here today, he would agree with that.
Agriculture and Agri-Food
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I think the minister knows that referring to the absence of hon. members is not proper and he would not want to repeat that error.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions
April 1st, 2010 / 3:05 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
I would like to draw to the attention of hon. members the presence in the gallery of the recipients of the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts: Robert Davidson, André Forcier, Rita Letendre, Tom Sherman, Gabor Szilasi, Claude Tousignant, Terry Ryan and Ione Thorkelsson.
Presence in Gallery
Oral Questions

Some hon. members

Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, with the House about to adjourn for the Easter weekend and with next week being scheduled as a constituency week for members of Parliament, I wonder if the government House leader could indicate how he intends to occupy the rest of this day and the week following the constituency week with the government's agenda.
Business of the House
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Prince George—Peace River
Jay Hill Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, today we will be continuing with Bill C-9, the jobs and economic growth act.
Next week, as my hon. colleague indicated, is a constituency work week.
When the House returns the week of April 12, we will hopefully be able to conclude the debate at second reading of Bill C-9 and see the jobs and economic growth act move off to committee.
Wednesday, April 14, shall be an allotted day.
While I am on my feet, I would like to wish everyone a happy Easter. As we wind down this five-week sitting, I would like to take the opportunity to recognize and thank the opposition for its cooperation and at times patience as we worked together on the people's business over the last five weeks. With the possible exception from time to time of some partisan issues in question period, we have worked very well.
I would like to extend the same sentiments of appreciation, Mr. Speaker, through you, to the House staff, who always try to serve our needs so well.
Oral Questions
Points of Order
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, who just rose, stated his understanding of a French term I used yesterday. As I mentioned in my response to him yesterday, this term was correctly translated, in the context, as double-crosser.
However, since the French term, which I used correctly, can have another meaning and some people may not be sure of my meaning, I will retract it.

Spoiler!The ultimate death game, sounds like a lot of fun. So It sounds like the straw hats will be targeted, but I wonder who else.
So So
Spoiler!The ultimate death game, sounds like a lot of fun. So It sounds like the straw hats will be targeted, but I wonder who else.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Viola, Kyros, King Riku, Law (I guess, even tho Doffy would want to have the satisfaction of killing Law all to himself) seem like certainties for Doflamingo's kill list. His intention is to kill everybody so I would think all the former toys as well as Navy and other WG people should also be on the list. Fujitora and Bastille are strong but if citizens of Dressrosa attack them at once they will be faced with a dilemma.
Anyway this is an exciting turn of events. It has an air of Punk Hazard with shinokuni fooking shite up everydamnwhere. Another parallel is Pika keeping the straw hats at bay like Monet did for a little while at PH. I really hope zoro is the one to defeat Pika.
Been a while since I posted something but this chapter certainly warranted a comeback. Sh*t is about to hit the ceiling.
I think he still intends to kill everyone. He just doesn't want to overwork himself. Let the citizens deal with some of these guys or at least tire them out. The SHs and Law are definitely part of that list but it's not like the navy can turn a blind eye to the plight of the citizens so in the end it's not like fujitora and bastille will stay off that kill list either. Maynard was in way over his head. It's a good thing he retired early.............lol.
I see temporal alliances formed to survive this. Fuji is a pretty reasonable guy and I guess he has a pretty decent moral compass. I won't be surprised if he fights alongside the SHs and Law in this Situation. No matter what happens though, this promises to be a good action packed arc.
__________________________________________________ __________________________
Currently planning war strategies at a tea party with Madara, Kabuto, Zetsu and Sasuke.
Damn Luffy how do you not use Haki against Doflamingo?! He ain't taking down a Yonko anytime soon.
Also how are they suppose to destroy the factory now if its made out of seastone. Isn't seastone as tough as diamond?!
Wonder if Sabo going to face both Diamante and Trebol.
Fuji and Bastille wonder what they going to do now.
Outside of what everyone else is saying, which is all absolutely true, the biggest question I have after this chapter is how Doflamingo's list of hits will affect Usopp's "Savior" image. Will the 8000 turn on their champion, or will Doflamingo remain in vile light despite the blood bath which will ensue. Who will become a parasite thread?!
Given Doflamingo's powers, the fact that he's afraid of Kaido suggests Kaido's powers are terrifying.
^I don't think it's a matter of fear. Most of the big shots in the One Piece universe don't seem to fear death. I believe it's a matter of convenience, It doesn't seem like going to war with a yonkou is very convenient for Donflamingos business.
This was a good chapter and like Blackriot69 said: After reading chapter the biggest question that comes to mind is how this effects the 8000 men who have sworn loyalty to Ussop. When Doflamingo mentions a bounty at the end of the chapter, a few of Ussops new sworn loyalists( including Dagama) have a "Hell yeah i'm ready to betray anyone for some bounty money" face.
^Everything will be in chaos at first until Usopp will do a manly pose then say lie/motivational speech to calm his 8000 followers down and turn things around.
As expected birdcage is a mass control technique but damn, Dofla cold have just move all the strings to one point and slice everything on it's path.
I wonder how fuji would deal with the strings...
Law will be the key for this fight as he's the only one who can cut all of Dofla's strings and in one cut just as he did back in PH.
Oh yeah, Badass chapter is badass. Dofla vs Luffy would top any fights we had so far in OP.

Travel Leaders Honored With Prestigious Award
February 11, 2013
On Monday evening, Travel Leaders was honored with the prestigious
at a dinner located in Flemings Steakhouse at Blue Back Square, West Hartford.
Travel Leaders is one of only six agencies in all of New England to receive this award, presented to Storrs Office Manager, Deborah DelMastro by Bruce Wilson, Senior Sales Manager of the Apple Vacations New England, Albany and Hudson Valley Region.
Mr. Wilson stated, "Apple Vacations is extremely proud and honored to announce that TRAVEL LEADERS has achieved the Apple Vacations Platinum Partnership status. This award is made annually to those travel agencies that have shown exceptional commitment to their partnership with Apple Vacations through outstanding sales and service. On behalf of everyone at Apple Vacations, I want to extend our heartiest congratulations and warmest thanks to the hard-working travel professionals at TRAVEL LEADERS."
Travel Leaders in Storrs shares this award with their "sister agencies" in Lincoln, Rhode Island; Travel Advisors International, and their office in Putnam, Travelplanners/Travel Leaders, all owned by the Rondeau Family.
Ms. DelMastro states, "We are extremely proud to receive this honor as it is based not solely on the number of sales but also on product knowledge, completion of continued training opportunities, and commitment to customer service for our clients."
"Travel Leaders has previously received the GOLDEN APPLE AWARD for six of the past seven years, one of only 9 agencies in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts to receive that level, but reaching the Platinum Level is an amazing achievement for a small local travel agency which just reinforces our commitment to our clients based on our travel knowledge and personalized service," states Ms. DelMastro.

interested to read the poms have learn't about racism. it was the poms who attempted to destruct the aboriginal race - a bit of heritage that Australia has not rectified in 200 years.
Well in 1968 at least, the Australian govt did finally recognise the Aboriginal people as humans!!!
(I think it was 68!)
