When the owner hit a rock and damaged the driveshaft of his 2012 Chevrolet 3500 diesel pickup truck, he asked Bill's Englewood Driveshaft to build a replacement.
"The rock but a big dent in the aluminum driveshaft, so we have to make a new one," Bill Farris said July 11 as he and his wife, Shantel, worked on the project. "Our motto is if it needs a driveshaft, we'll build it. Each project is different and this project is pretty straightforward, so we can complete in a few hours."
A driveshaft is a mechanical component of a vehicle's drive train that transmits torque and rotation from the engine and transmission to the wheels that propel the vehicle.
The shop entrance is located off the alley between Broadway and Lincoln Street, in the block between Floyd and Girard avenues. The shop is compact, with all the spare parts and specialized equipment needed to complete the projects. While most drivers may never experience a driveshaft problem, the demand for the work done at Bill's Englewood Driveshaft at 3364½ S. Broadway keeps the staff busy, and Farris is considering hiring additional staff and possible moving to another Englewood location to have more room to fill the driveshaft orders.
"I am the third member of the Farris family to operate this shop," Bill said as he began work on the aluminum driveshaft. "My grandpa Viven opened the shop in 1977. My dad Bob ran it for a while. He wanted to run his survival equipment shop on Broadway so I took over."
He said his grandfather got started building driveshafts when driveshafts installed in many models of 1970s Cadillacs caused excessive vibration because of poor driveshaft balance.
"Grandpa was one of two places in the state equipped to build new driveshafts for those luxury cars. He also began getting requests to build driveshafts for race cars and other specialty vehicles, and our company is still at it."
Farris said his shop is equipped to help vehicle owners solve problems, whether the challenge is building a lighter driveshaft to reduce the weight or to build a balanced driveshaft to eliminate vibration problems.
"Our family has always tried to treat all our customers the way we would want to be treated if we were asking for the service our shop provides," the 1980 Englewood High School graduate said. "We want to turn out a quality project to meet the customer's needs. Our policy is to start with the best possible raw materials because you can't build a good house on a crappy foundation."
In the early years, most of the shop's business came from referrals and from print advertising. Farris said technology changed all that.
"I began advertising on the Internet, which opened up a worldwide market for us. Many of our orders come to us by email from people we will never meet in person," he said. "On the average, we build 20 to 25 driveshafts a day. Many are for local customers, but we also ship our driveshafts to customers in Australia, England and other countries overseas."
Farris said he has always worked on cars and, while at Englewood High School, he attended the auto shop classes and helped start the club where students customize their cars.
"I love speed and today, I get my current throttle therapy going off-road or crushing cars with my monster truck," he said. "I go to the monster truck winter nationals at the National Western Stock Show complex. The first time was a little scary when I hit the throttle to jump some cars but it also gave me a rush that you can't describe in words. But, it was a great experience and I look forward to getting that rush again whether I am jumping a line of cars or going airborne when I am going off-road and going airborne while traveling more than 100 miles an hour in the desert."

one of my best shoe purchases ever
"These shoes are incredible. I have a pair of custom-made shoes that isn't as comfortable as these. The manner of sizing allows these to cradle your foot perfectly. I'm a 10.5; I originally thought maybe this 10.5 would wear slightly long, but no. It's perfect. i walked a trade show in these and got compliments while feeling relaxed in their incredible comfort. Coloring is quite nice as well. Beautiful shoe."

Garon's 'fair shake', Reddox ain't no Rudy
Jason Gregor
January 20 2009 07:46AM
I was asked where I am regarding the Potulny re-assignment and some other things, so I will venture in on that and more random thoughts regarding the Oilers.
What can I say about Reddox, other than I'm perplexed? The "HE HAS HEART" and "
" is a great observation, except, Rudy played two downs in four years. TWO. And they came at the end of the game with nothing on the line. I won't lie, I, like most men shed a tear in that movie, and I loved that portly little bastard. How could you not love Daniel E "Rudy" Ruettiger (What the hell does the E stand for? I've always wondered that). He engendered everything that we love about heart, determination and the will to succeed in sports. Hell, all of us relate to that because none of us had the natural ability to succeed in a really high level of sports, and deep down we all respect those traits. That was Sean Astin's best role, followed closely by his Sam Gamgee portrayal in Lord of the Rings. But guess what? Rudy was in college and like I said he played two downs. Liam Reddox is in the NHL, and that fact he gives it all every shift is great, but he needs to bring more and frankly he doesn't have the skills to produce in the NHL. I don't think Potulny does either, so I'm not surprised he was sent down. Reddox can barely stick handle through the neutral zone, when he hits he barely makes an impact because his buck-seventy-five frame doesn't impose much of a threat, and outside of being in the right place on the ice he doesn't do much for me. Thankfully Nilsson will return on the 27th and Reddox will be off the top two lines. He will probably stick around as a fourth liner or pressbox guy. Can his RUDY attitude rub off on some guys? I guess so, but I don't see him being a factor long term, nor do I see Potulny. At least Reddox reminds us of one of the greatest sports movies of all time, so that's a positive.
Promotion for the sake of it -- I think not
I am still in awe of the blinder mentality of some of the readers and Oiler fans on here. Many of you are quick to dispatch Ethan Moreau as only a fourth liner, while you are willing to just hand third line minutes to guys like Pouliot, Brule and even an inconsistent Robert Nilsson, hell some of you wanted to hand Schremp ice-time ahead of Moreau. "They have more skill" is the usual uneducated response to why these three should play ahead of him on the third line. Well, I'm from the Show Me State, and none of them have showed any consistency in their careers and outside of Brule even a shred of a gritty game which is needed to be a successful third liner. I wonder if you truly understand the dynamics of what it takes to win in the NHL and the types of players certain teams need. Moreau is what he is, and he has been in the league for 13 years doing it night in and night out. He is Liam Reddox, just bigger and with more skill. Moreau gives you all he has most nights, and what he has isn't a ton of NHL offensive skill. But he fights if need be, with a separated shoulder at times, he blocks shots with his face, he doesn't seek individual accolades and while he might not be in the class of Messier, Gretzky or Weight when it comes to leadership, he is far from a Shayne Corson. Did you see how excited his teammates were when he got his first hat trick? Do you think they all don't respect him as a leader? If you take away PP points, he would be tied for second with 18, only one behind Cogliano's 19. Only Hemsky has more even strength goals (10), while Moreau has nine and one SH so technically he is tied with Hemsky. He is second on the team in hits, and has more than Pouliot, Brule and Nilsson combined, yet many of you think he is better suited on the fourth line. Yes, he takes a few too many aggressive penalties, but it's easier to kill off that penalty than a lazy hooking or tripping penalty any day. I'm not saying he's the savior of this team, but on a team that has one of the softest forward groups in the league, demoting the one guy who brings grit is asinine. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Garon talks about getting a raw deal
Yesterday I had Mathieu Garon on my radio show and the first question I asked him was if he felt like he got a fair shot from the start of the season? "Well, if you look all around the league, a lot of goalies like Kiprusoff, Luongo and Turco had a tough start, and the team stuck with them a little bit longer. I don't want to say they didn't give me a chance, but it was really quick, two bad games and it was pretty much over, but what can you do about it? When you have three goalies you have the luxury to try other goalies." Clearly he wasn't happy, but sorry Mathieu comparing yourself to those three goalies might be a stretch. The big difference is that those three are so much better than their backups that those teams have to go back with their starter even if he struggles. The difference between Garon and Roloson was marginal, and that more than anything was why he lost his job this year. He didn't get as long of a rope as Roloson did last year, and that is unfair, but I think it was Deslauriers and not Roloson that made the Oilers feel Garon was expendable. Deslauriers' first game was in Calgary on Oct. 17. He wasn't great but he won, and then his next start wasn't until Nov. 9 in NJ. Guess what? He didn't use rust or lack of practice as an excuse, rather he was the Oilers best player that night and the next against the Rangers. Garon's mental game is what cost him this year more than anything. He also talked about the allegations that he and Pete Peeters had a rift. "It was good with Pete. I've heard and read things that I haven't been happy with Pete and I wanted to bring in my own goalie coach, and that isn't true... I never asked in the two years I was here to use any other goalie coach. I only worked with the goalie coach (Lyle Mast) in LA twice so that wasn't true." I always liked Garon because he was honest and candid when you asked him a question. Athletically, he might be top three in the league, but it is the mental part of the game that he has to work on, and that is the hardest part of being a goalie, in my opinion. If you want to hear the entire interview, visit
for a listen. The first question was, "Did you get a fair shot?" There is also an interview with Rick Nash talking about the Blue Jackets and if Hitchcock's defence-first attitude has made him change his offensive habits.
I am becoming a Moreau believer again based on the last game. The Pheonix game started out slow (which isn't uncommon) but Moreau was on fire right out of the gate. Your assessment is spot on, lots of talent on this team - not enough guts. I am like the majority of the other posters here who get frustrated by seeing him play so much. Moreau on the powerplay says more about the other guys who SHOULD be playing. The simplicity of his game is the biggest reason he is always on the ice.
I think the offence this guy puts up is a bonus. He wasn't signed to score 20 goals, but he might again this year.
January 20 2009, 08:06AM
Nice little morning tidbits Gregor.
I can see how Garon felt like he got the shaft. He left last season early due to injury, but before that he was playing like a number one on this team and was the go to guy. Then he comes in this season thinking it's his job to lose, and well...he did. But I agree with him that maybe he coulda got a longer rope. But, as was mentioned, shorter ropes are the reality of a 3 goalie setup.
Honestly, watching him play the season he never looked solid on most nights. He looked like he was reacting late to the puck and kinda looked shakey. The colorado game just before the trade was one of his best.
January 20 2009, 08:33AM
Two things:
1) Why don't you see Potulny being a fit over the long haul? He certainly looked good when he was up here (much better than Schremp, despite the superficial statistical similarities) and he's leading the AHL team in goals. I'm not sure that there's much else he could do to show he deserved another game. On a related note, any idea if the Oilers are sending him out to a) attend the AHL all-star game and b) avoid burning up waiver immunity during the all-star break?
2) Moreau's also been injured for two seasons; I think it's fair to question if that has had some long-term effect on his game. The numbers so far this season are largely positive; he isn't an offensive player but we knew that and he is eating up ice-time against some legitimate players so he's doing his job, even thought the puck is going the wrong way a fair bit. The galling part for someone like me is watching him pull Pouliot and Cogliano out of the faceoff circle so that he can take the draw - all while he is 3-17 in the circle. His penalties may not be "lazy hooking or tripping penalties", but he takes a lot of them, and often they're slashing penalties in the offensive zone, so it isn't like he's only getting them for messing up opposing player's faces. I also wonder (since he's an integral member of the PK unit) how his penalties are easier to kill than the other kind.
Nice article, and you do make a good point about Moreau's play so far this season, but I'd be curious to see you expand on those two angles.
My view of Moreau is that since he was appointed captain he is trying to do too much. He has taken too many restraining-type penalties at crucial times and hurt the team as a result. He got those goals last game by putting himself in positon to receive a pass and could have had maybe another goal or two. I am one of those who expressed opinions about the reason for Garon's sudden decline in net as coach-related. Clearly I owe Peeters an apology. That suggested reason for his poor start came from a radio sports show. It makes for a great interview when the interviewer asks the right questions and the interview subject is an open and honest person. It was very revealing and interesting.

It's hard (ok, it's nigh impossible) to make the case that Reddox belongs on the top two lines on a consistent basis. For a few shifts, maybe, to make a statement, but I'm not so naive as to think that Liam Reddox is the second coming of Ryan Smyth. As Jason points out, Reddox will soon drop down to the energy line where he ultimately belongs and that is all for the best. I just sincerely hope that I never see the day when Reddox is sent down to Springfield to make way for the likes of some punk from the 'Me-First' generation whose shooting average is higher. Talent is needed to win games, there's no doubt, but heart is what defines champions and there is always a place for some of that in the room.
January 20 2009, 08:46AM
One more question Jason - do you think Garon is on the level about his goaltending coach? You noted back in November the following:
It was well-documented last season that Peeters wasn't enamoured with Garon working with another goaltending consultant, Lyle Mast. Garon enjoyed working with Mast, and sources have hinted that #32 is no longer allowed to work with him.
Garon says here that he only worked with Mast twice. I'm not trying to rabble-rouse, but do you think Garon is downplaying the story because:
a) there wasn't all that much to it or b) out of a desire not to rock the boat?
Jason, weren't you the one who started the rumour about Garon and the goalie coach?
January 20 2009, 08:57AM
I was impressed by Schremp in the first two games he played here. He was dynamic and his presence and skill made things happen. Poultony brought a better overall game than Schremp but I think Schremp's offensive ability is more unpredictable which reminds me of how Hemsky was a few years ago. Schremp played terribly against Florida which is the game he got benched in, but damn, the whole team played bad.
The thing I cant stand of the whole Schremp situation is how Mactavish cant seem to wrap his head around Schremp's positives and exploit them for the team's benefit. Instead Craig wants to focus on all the things he cant do and bury him as a result. Of course thats not taking into account that Mactavish hates his guts and seems determined to bury him in the minors.
I think Reddox has earned his spot. He's played on both the top 2 lines and while he isnt lighting it up he's holding his own. We might see 85-51-34 in a shutdown role when Pisani comes back. Kyle Brodziak is getting better and better in the faceoff circle and that could be his ticket to more minutes.
January 20 2009, 09:07AM
How far away is Nando?
Safe to say Gregor has zero credibility after his fabrications about contract extensions and Peeters.

I don't get this. 99% of the guys playing in the NHL have "heart". It takes a pretty special talent to half-ass it and play in the best league in the world. What Reddox doesn't bring is size or talent. It's kind of hard to blame the guy because he obviously has a great work ethic, he is just lacking in a couple of god-given areas - sad but true. I don't think a guy like Potulny, who actually brings some size and a half decent set of hands, is going to put in any less effort to earn an NHL job.
@ Travis Dakin: Are you still the king of the chat channel?
Gregor also reported that Garon was offered an extension in the summer, which Garon denied in the interview.
January 20 2009, 09:19AM
I think Garon didn't get a fair shake. Roli got 2 months to get out of his funk last year and it cost us a playoff spot. Gaaron didn't get any leash this year. Maybe he wasn't mentally set up for that but what do you think any other starting goalie would have done if they had a bad start and didn't play again for a month. I have a feeling Roli is going to get tired later in the season and Deslauriers won't be ready for the minutes. I hope I'm wrong but I was a Garon fan.
As for Toby Reddox, I appreciate his effort but I don't see a fit for him on this team. Maybe until Stortini gets back but after that I would rather see Strudwick play on the fourth line.
I wsn't a big Pouliot fan but before his concusion he was playing well and I feel he is a better fit on the second line because his game is offensive and he has enough defensive responsibility but Nillson will be back soon.
I agree somewhat that Garon was not given a "fair" chance. However, there is something to be said about seniority and that's life. Like it or not Roloson got the Oilers to the SCF, that alone has clearly bought a huge chunk of leeway. Garon's never been a consistent starter in his NHL career, so for fans to believe he could shake doldrums and risk 20 games for him to come around is not necessarily naive but it is wishful thinking. People will argue that Roloson lost his first couple starts and was therefore given a longer leash, to those people you have to look at the fact that Roloson was not the reason he lost those starts, he can hardly be held accountable for the team scoring 0 goals. And while Garon did win his first 3, if you watch the tape as always his rebound control and positioning left alot to be desired.
January 20 2009, 09:35AM
I'm sure Gregor doesn't just start rumors. He gets information none of us are privy to, everyone spins the stories to make it sound the best for them.

Pretty sure it takes 20 guys to win or lose a game, not 1. He may have stood on his head and stole a game or 5 but to say he "got us" there is unfair to the rest of the team who worked their asses off.
Also, Roloson was NEVER a starting goalie before coming to Edmonton either so there goes that theory.
I won't mention who said this but,
"Moreau is a good 3rd liner, that when he is on his game is a great 3rd liner".
That is true. I also know that when players aren't playing well or producing, they can be demoted.
In the 30 games prior to his hat trick, Moreau had 6 points and was -2 and took 17 minor penalties.
I am not sure what players we are talking about, but it seems to me that any numbers of AHL player could put up numbers like those.
I know, I know - it's not about numbers with Moreau. It's the intangibles that he brings to the game.
Can't he bring those same intangibles from the 3rd or 4th line, while the more skilled guys get the chance to play the roles more suited for them?
Don't get me wrong. I like Moreau and what he brings to HIS role. But, I am also caught wondering what Ethan Moreau has won at the NHL level? How does he know what it takes to win?

When Garon was here and I asked him about Peeters he declined comment, so when I had him on I asked him again.
I also never said he and Peeters hated one another, but if you listened to the interview Garon didn't deny that Peeters said he wasn't ready to play a game...
As for the contract extension I asked him because I my source within the Oilers said THEY DID offer him a contract. I will ask again, but if you think I make up stuff for the sake of it, that shows aren't that smart.
Not everything you report comes true, but I don't make up stuff just to post. The source I have within the Oilers has been bang on on many accounts so I will stick with it. IF you noticed, Garon said, "They never talked to me," which could be entirely true, but they could have spoken to his agent. It is an easy way to say there was no offer, when really there was talk with his agent.
As for the goalie coach, working with him only twice seems quite low since he was in LA for two years, unless that is what he meant. I also wrote that I didn't think it was that big of a deal, because no team allows their goalies to snub their goaltending coach and work with one not associtated with the team.
I don't see Potulny here long term, because he doesn't have the skill set to kick Nilsson off of the top six, and he wouldn't beat out Pouliot on the 3rd line, and he definitely is not a 4th line energy guy. He could be a 13th or 14th forward because he is versatile, but with Nilsson, Pisani and Stortini all out and he still isn't here I don't see how he fits long term.
As for Moreau kicking out Pouliot of the dot, (which I have seen once) might have been his emotion getting the best of him. Sure it wasn't a great move, but one move like that doesn't mean he is a horrible player. I will ask him today why he did it. And if you look at Moreau's penalties or anyone who takes aggressive penalties, more often than not the team kills them off. Sure he could take less penalties, he has taken 22 minors this year, 20 that put them down a man, but he has been that way his entire career. Like it or not he will take 10-15 slashing penalties a year. He has his entire career, excluding injured seasons. While I don't say all are good penalties, sometimes in the flow of a game a good hard slash can send a message. He just needs to reign it in a bit. It will take some time, but I will have stats to back this up in the next week or so.

Don't get me wrong. I like Moreau and what he brings to HIS role. But, I am also caught wondering what Ethan Moreau has won at the NHL level? How does he know what it takes to win?
Honestly... Moreau was on the 2006 team as well. Nobody has won sh!t on this team - but I am pretty sure Moreau has an idea of what it takes to get there. He wasn't Fernando Pisani that year, Moreau had 3 points, but he was as important as the other player every game of that run.

I think Garon didn't get a fair shake. Roli got 2 months to get out of his funk last year and it cost us a playoff spot.
Exactly why they didn't wait for Garon to recover. Especially when him an dROli are pretty much equal. As MacT said all year, with 3 goalies, you go with the hot hand.

Really? If this is the case why did we trade for him? So we can stock pile a bunch of 3rd liners?

Can't he bring those same intangibles from the 3rd or 4th line, while the more skilled guys get the chance to play the roles more suited for them?
That is all he plays...playing 4 games on the top line when he was hot is exactly what you said earlier in your post..."WHEN guys struggle they should be demoted, well he was hot, got promoted and the cold guys demoted."
But I guess unless it is a skilled guy, who MIGHT produce only they get a better shot.
So when Hemsky goes ten games without a goal do you demote him? Once again you prove that you are knee jerk reaction fan. Hell, if a guy isn't going demote him, bench him...well then you'd be doing that to guys all the time. Plus you also rip MacTavish for line juggling, and now you want to demote Moreau because of his last 30 games...Hypocrite...
He plays 15 minutes a game, with basically none on the PP...he plays under 13 minutes of 5 on 5...that is 3rd line numbers. So he is playing exactly what you want.
And please enlighten us on these so-called skill players that deserve so much more icetime. And please include their stats so it proves they are more skilled, because last I checked I don't see any with better goal scoring numbers, AT THE NHL LEVEL, but I could be wrong.

Look, if Garon was that good he would have been playing.
"As for the contract extension I asked him because I my source within the Oilers said THEY DID offer him a contract. I will ask again, but if you think I make up stuff for the sake of it, that shows aren't that smart."
I didn't say you made things up - I said you don't have credibility anymore.
Obviously you would take offence to a statement like that but it sounds like the organization he telling you what they want to fans to think.
I remember Guy Flamming wrote some critical things about the Oilers a few years ago and they flat out stopped giving in information after that. Wouldn't even return his calls.
That's how this organization works. You seem like an honest guy so it's a shame the organization
Damn, I just lost half my post.
Basically the message I'm trying to convey is I have zero trust in what management says and that filters down to the people covering the team.

Matt Cooke has as many EV points as Horcoff.
According to your logic, he's just as talented as Horcoff because the numbers say so.
@ Travis Dakin:
I don't buy that whole going with the hot hand argument. I think the coaching/mngmt have a large part to play in Garon's struggles this year. You could hear on Gregors show yesterday Garon said himself he didn't feel like his game was developing in practice and the whole 3 goalie debacle obviously hurt his play. I'm not saying that Garon is an awesome goalie and we shouldn't have traded him. I am aware Roloson has outplayed him but I think it was much easier for Mactavish to justify always going back to Roloson than it was for him to go to Garon. Either way, I am happy for the Oilers this whole mess is resolved.
January 20 2009, 10:43AM
@ APE: I will completely agree that The Oilers management team screwed this situation up. Just like MacT putting guys out of postition or in wrong roles. If you don't set people up to succeed then they will most likely fail.
@ Jason Gregor:
Kneejerk reaction fan???
That couldn't be farther from the truth.
I am ALL about defining roles and letting them play there.
When did I ever say that Moreau should be demoted. I said that when players aren't performing they can be demoted.
I do find it humorous that people support the Penner and Nilsson benchings, but are dead set against demoting or benching certain players when they aren't pulling thier weight.
On the other side, just becauase a guy like Moreau gets hot, doesn't mean he should play on the top line. He does not have the skill set to play on the top line...ever!!! You can give him (or his line) extra minutes (at the expense of the 4th line), but you should never try to put a square peg in a round hole (ie. Liam Reddox).
Our top 7 players (from the start of the year) are the only guys that should be playing on the top two lines. If injuries occur, then things can change.
rindog wrote:
I am not sure what players we are talking about, but it seems to me that any numbers of AHL player could put up numbers like those.
Where did I say that they deserved more icetime? I simply stated that guys like Brule or Potulny in their short time have displayed some offensive flair and should therefore be considered for the top two lines (as injury replacements). Guys like Potulny (.75 ppg) while averaging 10 minutes of icetime or Brule (3 points in 5 games since being recalled) should be given a chance in a more offensive role than guys like Reddox, Moreau, Pisani or Pouliot.
The thing I whole heardedly agree on that Moreau is doing exactly what I want. Playing on the 3rd line and not getting offensive minutes (or being asked to produce). When he gets upwards of 16 or 17 minutes (like he was earlier) he becomes ineffective. He knows his role and is sometimes asked to play out of that role.
I thought Potulny looked good with Cole and Gagner. To me, he was more effective than Nilsson was with them.
"Reddox can barely stick handle through the neutral zone, when he hits he barely makes an impact because his buck-seventy-five frame doesn't impose much of a threat, and outside of being in the right place on the ice he doesn't do much for me."
Fernando Pisani doesn't stick handle through the neutral zone, nor is he a punnishing hitter, but he's made a very good career out of "being in the right place" and is one of the team's more effective players. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that sound positioning is more important than throwing bodychecks or being able to dangle.
...and Rudy sucked.
Sorry Greggor, you're wrong on Garon. He was royally screwed over by this organization and its coaching staff. Garon had every right to mention that other goalies were given a longer leash than he was. I don't think he's comparing himself to them, only that other teams' coaches gave their STARTING goalies a chance to get their games going. He should have been afforded the same courtesy. Instead he was railroaded by a coach who liked another goalie better.
Garon was treated like garbage this season by a coach and organization that's completely out of touch when it comes to dealing with goalies.
I heard you mention yesterday that Roli was tougher mentally; it's pretty hard to be mentally tough when you know you're not getting a fair shake from the coach and team CONSTANTLY. You and Rishaug talked about how he played when he was given the chance, yet you didn't bring up how the TEAM was playing in front of him during those games. They were non-existent.
Garon LOVED playing for the Oilers, anyone that's been to his house and/or met him knows this.
Other points...
Reddox needs to go. The guy is a joke out there and gets laughed at by the opposition, seriously. I would rather have Potulny playing with Gagner and Cole; there was chemistry there. Reddox does nothing but bugger up chemistry. The only reason MacT likes Reddox is because he's another borderline fourth line player who reminds MacT of himself.
You are bang on when it comes to Moreau. I think he's still learning on the job when it comes to being the captain; but I think he's done a good so far. He knew when to call a players only meeting and I think that may be a huge turning point in this season.
Sorry, it's Gregor, not Greggor... damn keyboards.
I doubt Garon was given a fair shot. Kinda like another goalie that's currently 16-5-1 this year.
But at the same time, it's a moot point. Goalies aren't what are winning games for the Oil. Goal production is what is needed. With only 126 GoalsFor this year, so far, it could greatly improve the teams standing if they had 140+ like the top 4 teams in the West.
What's my point? I dunno, just wanted to channel Jdubs for a few seconds and throw some stats around. haha
January 20 2009, 11:25AM
Like this post Greggor, and I totally agree on your views regarding the Captain. But I listened to the interview the other day with Garon and I don't feel that he compared himself, in terms of his ability, with Luongo, the Kipper or Turco. To me he was simply stating that when a goal tender is named number one, usually it is the club's and the goal tenders best interest to let him play through the low points in his game. In his case that was not allowed to happen.
AND, although Roloson ,of late, has really been on top of his game, there have been points in his time here that he has not been great and was given time to make adjustments. Until he came to Edmonton, Roloson had no proven track record that he could be a number 1 over a long period of time. So the argument that Garon had never proven himself, and thus his leash was shorter doesn't hold water. He really wasn't given a fair shake at the start and was not able to recover.
All that being said, clearly Roloson's numbers are better and he deserves to be between the pipes. I'm glad that the three headed monster is finally dead (no disrespect to Sabourin) and hope that Garon puts in some good preformances with the Pens. I still think he has all the tools to be a top 10 goaltender and can't help think what might have been... (a single bittersweet tear rolls down his cheek, and his man card is offically revoked)

Penner and Nilsson were benched because they were being LAZY and that is NOT acceptable at this level. That is a far different situation than someone who is having timing issues or making errors. I will take errors over lazy every day of the week.

Thanks, Jason. The thing I like about Potulny (over Nilsson, anyway) is that he brings a shoot-first mentality, which would seem to be a better fit on this team which lacks those kind of players.
I get what you're saying about Moreau too - we've all played the game and sometimes you get caught up in what's happening and do something that probably isn't great in hindsight. I've always had a problem with his penalties, but that's accurate too - it's just the way Moreau plays the game.

It certainly gets you more opportunities at the NHL level - not just with MacTavish, but pretty much every coach.
I like certain parts of the Reddox/Pisani comparison, but Pisani's got a much better release; his overall offensive game suffers because of the role he plays but it's underrated (except for those guys who figured he'd score 30 after the 05-06 playoffs, of course).

Sitting behind the opposition's bench for starters, how about that? Plus I do have a press pass, I hear all kinds of things.
I've read your crap on here all the time MacT, I mean Ender... you're the joke around here.

Now that the dust has settled over in the south, we thought it was only right to hand out praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round 11
Now that the dust has settled over in the south, we thought it was only right to hand out praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round 11
15 Israel Folau (Waratahs): Playing his first game in South Africa, anyone in the capital who didn't know the rugby league convert's name certainly won't forget it after this performance. Injected plenty of pace into the Waratahs back-line, looked dangerous every time he touched the ball and scored a superb try as a result.
14 Henry Speight (Brumbies): Undoubtedly the in-form wing in Australia. Speight bagged two tries for his efforts against the Force, as he continues to turn heads every time he touches the ball out wide.
13 Tim Nanai-Williams (Chiefs): Whether on the wing or in the Chiefs midfield, Nanai-Williams makes defenders pay dearly as the Sharks found out following the centre's two tries in Hamilton. He missed a couple of tackles, but made up for it with his try-saver on scrum-half Cobus Reinach.
12 Tom Taylor (Crusaders): Responsible for 20 of his team's 30 points… missing just once from his eight attempts. Taylor kept the Crusaders in the hunt with his prolific goal-kicking, before putting his team ahead and then sealing the deal.
11 Bryan Habana (Stormers): When was the last time you saw a conversion charged down by a player? We couldn't remember either. But what made Habana's heroics even more special was that the two points he denied the Hurricanes was the difference between the two sides at full-time.
10 Morne Steyn (Bulls): Landed seven of his nine shots at goal and scored a try in the final minute for a 25-point haul. Oh how the Bulls will miss him when he leaves to go ply his trade in France at the end of the Super Rugby season.
9 Piet van Zyl (Cheetahs): The Cheetahs are blessed with two game-breaking halfbacks at the moment. With Sarel Pretorius warming pine, Van Zyl organised the Cheetahs forwards excellently, added some speed on the ball and generally made himself a nuisance during his time on the pitch against the Kings.
8 Duane Vermeulen (Stormers): Put in a tireless performance and played an integral part of the pack's dominant showing against the Hurricanes, breaking off the back to set up a crucial try for Gio Aplon. Once again, Vermeulen showed that he has the strength and vision to make the Bok number eight jersey his own.
7 George Smith (Brumbies): Just more proof that the veteran flanker should be one of the first names on Wallabies coach Robbie Deans' list to face the British and Irish Lions… if he's not on it already.
6 Derick Minnie (Sharks): Playing for a new team in a foreign country against the tournament's defending champions must be daunting for any player. But not for Minnie – on loan from the Lions. The flank showed plenty of bite for the Sharks, with his two tries sparking the visitors' fightback.
5 Brodie Retallick (Chiefs): Of all the Chiefs forwards, the All Blacks lock has been the most consistent this season and Saturday's outing against the Sharks was no different. Though instead of giving it 100 percent, he gave 110.
4 Culum Retallick (Blues): The Blues enforcer locks in with his cousin in our XV this week after a punishing display against the Reds in Brisbane. The former Chiefs second-rower never stopped giving everything for his new team. Good in the line-outs, and wasn't shy of getting his jersey dirty on defence.
3 James Slipper (Reds): Scrummed well, carried strongly and didn't back down from any tackle.
2 Ged Robinson (Rebels): The livewire hooker caused chaos for the Crusaders and at times played like a loose forward as he was almost always first at the breakdown in support. A shame an impressive performance like this against his fellow countrymen wasn't celebrated with a win.
1 Wiehahn Herbst (Sharks): Yes, another Sharks player gets the nod in a losing cause for the tourists. But besides a rock-solid showing at scrum-time, just take a look at Herbst's skills in setting up Keegan Daniel's try which included pace, a dummy and a pin-point pass.

Spoiler!Interesting chapter, not really much in the info department besides some stuff we guessed a while ago, but the rehabilitation is interesting enough to watch
So So
Spoiler!Interesting chapter, not really much in the info department besides some stuff we guessed a while ago, but the rehabilitation is interesting enough to watch
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Or, it might be more to it. I think this whole chapter is a clue to Tobi's forecoming identity. I don't believe Tobi is Obito alone, I believe Tobi is Obito and that zetsu that he "wore" in this chapter. Or perhaps they are kinda two people. Whenever Obito "wears" that Zetsu or not. Itachi must have met Obito without the zetsu mask.
Also notice the personality of that spirally zetsu. It behaves a lot like Tobi did when he was first introduced. Goofy and all.
The zetsu's also have better intelligence and knowledge. So that's probably where Tobi's knowledge comes from. That, and getting information from Madara.
Prediction for next chapter: Obito goes outside and sees Kakashi letting Rin die. Obito withdraws and goes into anger. He then gets the idea of becoming Tobi and then decides to help Madara with his plan.
Things I liked about this chapter: The spirally zetsu is fantastic I think I really wonder what's gonna happen to him. If he's gonna become Tobi's mask or whatnot. Also, we haven't seen black zetsu yet. Because he hasn't been created yet
Looks like Kishi intends to say that the long Haired Tobi is Obito as well. Oh well looks like that theory has been debunked it's a little disappointing. I guess that the Mizukage was actually being controlled by Madara before connecting himself to the Mazou? It was interesting to see where Obito got the design of his mask from I'm guessing he becomes Obito's friend, then dies as well somehow and also helps to put Obito on the dark path.
There must be some error in translation. They say that they are created from the Mazou yet saying that they are androids means that they would be mechanical. Why wouldn't they have just said artificial? It's making no sense.
Several theories most likely flushed down the drain after this chapter.
Tidbit - I'm more than confident that zetsu retrieved obito and that it was not a coincidence nor the result of a freak miracle mangekyo manifestation. "I'm watching you". So true, zetsu watches, he watched almost everyone in akatsuki. Kabuto, nagato, naruto .. all were being watched or considered before they themselves knew it. Kabuto's encounter with orochimaru who we learned kept secret tabs on him. Nagato, chosen and monitored as a child then manipulated. Jiraya, aware of naruto and was the giver of his name but naruto had no clue of him for most of his childhood.
To cut my losses if long haired masked man isn't madara then ill Change pace and say madara knew of all the players in his plan ahead of time because he has the power to look into destiny. Not sure of the limits to it but he probably knew obito was coming before obito was even born.
Also, if the zetsu's are also masked men then i think the designs of the masks represent that particular zetsu's elemental affinity or jutsu style.
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
Wait for the mangastream translation, it's usually better. I'm really starting to wonder how Black Zetsu comes into play though. He's obviously created after Obito arrived. And since he's halv black, that idea came from Obito's repaired body. Now, what exactly is Black Zetsu? I believe it's Madara's remains, after he died. It makes more poetic sense for Zetsu to be half Hashirama and half Madara.
so gedo mazou was born from that plant?
too much questions.
Better chapter than last week. Things are slowly being shown at last.
Obito obviously joined with the spirally Zetsu, and thats where he got the split personalities and the knowledge. It will be interesting if he absorbs the Zetsu straight away or if it takes a bit of time. I am thinking that the spirally Zetsu is derived from Madara himself - that would explain how Obito is able to summon the Kyuubi, he absorbed some of Madaras powers. Maybe the comments about getting madara's powers to Nagato and Konan were the Spirally Zetsu in control and wanting to be better than his maker. You really have to wonder how much control each of them has over the body.
The Mizukage thing is still a little wierd, but i guess when Madara died he could have given Obito his sharingan - which is perhaps one better suited to using Genjutsu and thus controlling the MIzukage.
Anyone else thinks it's really madara who planned rin's death?
If i'm not wrong, zetsu said that madara ordered them to close the exit with a huge rock after they brought obito in. That means Madara wants purosefully keep him in there, at least for some time.
THen, once Obito mentioned Rin and Kakashi in his sleep, madara must have ordered zetsu to watch them closely. We all know that the hidden mist village has a weird affinity with madara, and "by chance" it's actually the mist shinobi that attacked kakashi and zetsu! I wouldn't be surprised if it was on madara's oreder, indirectly of course, if he put genjutsu on the mizukage before becoming a cripple and commanding him trough zetsu. And then...zetsu, who was "accidentally" looking kakashi and rin the whole time, reports they're in danger, just at the right time, and even offers obito to wear his body to get out of there, which is a thing zetsu could have made for him even before that. He must be acting on orders! Madara wants obito to see Rin's death up from close, and experience it.

The importance of plants
In the developed world around a quarter of all prescriptions contain materials isolated from plants. Others, like aspirin, are synthesised copies of chemicals found naturally in plants, or are modified from the initial natural product.
Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) has yielded two drugs for the treatment of cancer: it is the source of alkaloids used to treat childhood leukaemia and Hodgkin's disease.
Medicinal plants are mostly harvested from the wild, which can put them under great pressure. In Europe alone, an estimated 150 medicinal plant species are at risk from over-harvesting.
Despite the high reliance on plants in medicine, less than 20% of the described plant species have been investigated for the presence of bioactive compounds. Many more medicines have yet to be developed from plant materials.
The importance of fungi
Fungi also provide extraordinarily powerful medicines that have revolutionised our health, with examples including antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and cholesterol medicine.

Enlighten Mint has a minty flavor with a touch of honey flavor, and an earthy note from the yerba mate. It's easy drinking and clean tasting, and not too sweet. WHAT IS YERBA MATE? Mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Yerba mate is made from the naturally caffeinated and nourishing leaves of the celebrated South American rainforest holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis). The Guayaki Story Guayaki is working to make organic, fair-trade yerba mate the mainstream energy source of choice, and prove that a company can be profitable while operating sustainably. They are an organization of individuals whose daily work is to bring you the finest yerba mate on the planet. We started in 1996 with a vision of protecting and restoring the South American rainforests and empowering the native forest people, and with your help, we are achieving that goal, sip by sip. Here is the story of our humble beginning. In 1996, Guayaki was seeded in California's central coast by two university buddies. Alex Pryor from Buenos Aires, and David Karr from Northern California. As good friends and passionate yerba mate drinkers, David and Alex set out to share the yerba mate plant with the world, recognizing that people were in need of a nourishing source of energy and a healthy dose of optimism. As good fortune would have it, co-founders Alex and David were swiftly joined by three other pioneering partners to round out the original founding seed group: don Miguel aka the "The Journeyman", Steven Karr aka "Shape-Shifter" and Christopher Mann aka "The Chairman of the Gourd". These five ambitious friends aka the "semillas" (seeds) channeled their activist mentality into the creation of a new restorative business model, calling consumers to action by voting with their dollars. The Semillas rooted themselves in fertile grounds of San Luis Obispo, CA, nestled comfortably between scenic Santa Barbara and magical Big Sur. This coastline, riddled with good surf breaks, provided the perfect backdrop for many extended mate gourd sessions while looking for surf. As passionate lifestylers, the Semillas group was intimately committed to a holistic lifestyle and business practice which was philosophically aligned with their love for nature, adventure and spirit. In a blend of the West coast pioneer spirit and Argentine hospitality, the inspired band of Semillas took to the road to share mate with all those who would listen. Rooted in the central coast, hours from any major city, road warriorship became Guayakí's destiny. Traveling in a mix of VW vans, pickups, and RV's, David, Steven and don Miguel took the wheel in the one hand and the mate gourd in the other, to the four corners of United States. With a strong brew of mate, good tunes, flowers and genuine hospitality, the Semillas encouraged keen samplers to develop a relationship with the yerba mate plant. Growing up, we always heard "money does not grow on trees." Well, today we are proving that "money does grow on trees" and rainforest-grown yerba mate is the new green currency. It provides the peoples of the rainforest with income as well as the ability to steward their land. In 2009, Guayakí became the first Fair Trade Certified yerba mate company in the world thru IMO.

It's about time I posted, to say hello, and to give an update about Lyme disease. My news is that I am doing swell! I'm blessed to say that I think of Lyme disease in the past tense. Maybe not "past perfect," but definitely "past!"
After one rough row to hoe, I'm walking, talking, prissing, bicycling, playing bossy badminton (must say that I'm pretty good!), kayaking, cross-country skiing, and living a life which is full and funny, imperfectly perfect, or perfectly imperfect, take your pick. My body's a good, strong body, and I thank it for taking me through the eye of the Lyme storm.
As I write, I think of those of you who are still battling the terror of the tick. I'm here to tell you: Things will change. It will get better. Breathe in and breathe out. Keep eating well. Keep doing any single bit of exercise you can do. Keep the faith, knowing there are so many people praying for you—people you don't know, and whom you'll never meet. They are praying for you right now.
In 2005, a very hard year for me, my friend Patty, asked me if she could ask a good friend of hers to pray for me. I said yes, but asked that she not mention my name. In 2010, I met Mary, the woman who had been praying for me daily. She had only been told I needed prayer.
When we met, it was part of a prayer fabric that I've always thought I believed in, but never really, really got it. But, when she and I sat down, holding hands, she looked at me, and said, "For all these years, I have called you 'Miss Tree.'" I laughed. "How funny. How did you come up with that?" I was a little slow on the uptake. "You were a mystery, Rebecca. So I named you 'Miss Tree.'" And I held you in my heart every day.
We sat there in the parlor, holding hands, and crying.
There are people reading this and people who have come and gone, people who have held me in their prayers and I will never meet them. But they were part of my healing as much as any anti-biotic I swallowed.
I'm not advocating that you stop whatever protocol you're on. I am saying: you have a band of earth angels who are pulling for you, as they pulled for me. And what you are going through now will become a memory. Things will not stay the same. Everything will change.
Do not be ashamed of your pain. Do not be afraid of it. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen. No sense in suffering twice (or a zillion times, if you tend toward obsessing, a very easy pattern to fall into when your body hurts so bad.)
Thank the people who love you, the people who listen to you. Forgive them when they go about living their healthy lives. They give all they can, and we must celebrate their giving, and celebrate ourselves for wearing Lyme lightly. By that, I don't mean to deny it's happening, but to claim joy every single, solitary chance you get, and forgive everything. Yourself, your wife, your husband, your parents, your children, your siblings, the people at work, the tick itself. The more we forgive, the lighter the load. And I'm sure you've all heard a great deal about the "load."
Listen to as much music as you can. If you can walk, dance. If you can dance, get down on your knees and say "Thank you."
My mother, Sister Jordan Wells, at 84, says when she dies, she wants me to say just one thing for her: "Sistah says thanks!"
That's what I want to say, now: "Thanks!"
And 84,000 Blessings to those of you who read the stories I write, especially those of you who are suffering in any way. And especially, especially for those of you who suffer from Lyme disease: Bless you real good. I'm praying for you. I used to think my own band of heaven-angels was tired until they told me loud and clear that they don't get tired. I tend to believe you have your own band of heavenly (for lack of a better word) angels, and they do not get tired. Turn your pillow over to the cool side when you lie down to take a nap. Close your eyes for a moment, breathe in and breathe out, and realize what a miracle it is, that breath. Feel the angels, both earth and heaven-sent around you, and please—believe me, when I say that everything is going to be alright.
I'm going to dance to some more Van Morrison now, then go for an almost Blue Moon walk with Mercy, my spaniel. I'll dance for you and I'll walk for you, and together, we will all do more than survive. We'll thrive. As they'd say it in my Louisiana: "Ain't no tick gone take my baby from me. Ain't no tick gone win this bourre game."
Laughing, skipping, and jumping for joy, but not for a minute forgetting,
I am your
Ya-Ya Girl Who Lived to Tell the Tale,
Rebecca Wells,
Author, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood; Little Altars Everywhere; Ya-Yas in Bloom; The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder.

|Posted by Randall on December 02, 2001 at 21:00:24:
I am reconfiguring my circa 1900 bathroom, fixtures are from 1958 included a built in tub, cast iron sink and toilet.
I replaced the tub with a claw foot and relocated the door to where the old tub was, so with the changes to fit everything I had to move the sink and last but not least the time comes to move the toilet :(
I have a 4" cast iron soil stack from the basement and the toilet is directly over it on a lead section that fits into the top section of cast-iron (a Tee which goes to the roof vent) below the tee is a section with a WYE which has a 2" hub for the sink, joints have lead poured in.
which ever fool put the vent stack in, ran a 4' long horizontal below the joists and diagonally across them right where you have to walk. I'd like to take out the iron elbow and that 4' horizontal and run PVC up and between the joists out of the way, over and into the stack by the wall.
To do that and relocate the toilet, it has to come apart, any good way to get them apart besides cracking one of the pieces out with a sledge? I doubt a blow torch will melt the lead in the joints due to the heat sink mass.
I need to move the toilet over about 2 or 2-1/2 feet, can I run the 4" pvc horizontal or do I need to put in a WYE a section lower and 45 degree angle a pipe over to the toilet? Thanks for any comments.

Over the last decade, the number of students traveling to another country in pursuit of higher education increased from 2.1 million students in 2000 to over 4.1 million students globally in 2013 (UNESCO, 2016). Globalization has been a key driving force that has impacted and spurred student mobility. Although the rapid growth of mobility is relatively recent, the desire to acquire a higher education beyond national borders is itself not new; students and scholars have always sought learning opportunities around the world as a way to broaden their educational and cultural horizons. What has changed, however, is the overall context of global mobility, both in terms of who is going where, the mix of host and sending countries and the various social and economic factors that motivate students to pursue educational outside of their home country.
As the number of international students increases, so too will the complexity in their mobility patterns. Project Atlas® follows the worldwide migration trends of millions of international students and provides a global picture of international student mobility for major sending and host countries. Project Atlas is a unique global community of national agencies, country representatives and academic mobility researchers from around the world. The goal of Project Atlas is to collect and report accurate, timely and comprehensive data on global student mobility and to address the need for sharing harmonized and current data. This data is published on the Project's associated website—the Atlas of Student Mobility—which features country-level data as well as analysis of global trends.
As with any data collection effort, there are limitations. Even though many countries have national data collection organizations, the resulting data vary widely from country to country in timeliness, data definitions and scope. This is the gap in the mobility field that Project Atlas fills. Data reported for Project Atlas is based on the following definition of international higher education students:
Students who undertake all or part of their higher education experience in a country other than their home country OR students who travel across a national boundary to a country other than their home country to undertake all or part of their higher education experience.
Each country profile page documents country definitions related to the national data collection efforts used by each data source as well as the website of the data source and background information. Some data indicators, including worldwide estimated international student population are attributed to OECD's Education at a Glance or UNESCO's annual Global Education Digest.
The Project Atlas team also conducts workshops to strengthen the capacity of higher education institutions and national agencies to design and implement a system for collecting and disseminating student mobility data. Project Atlas partners meet annually and work year round on research projects around areas of mutual interest.
Project Atlas was launched in 2001 with support from the Ford Foundation and is now supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State.
