Retired Numbers
Kent Wilson
October 15 2010 11:46AM
(To take your minds of off the train wreck that has been the start of the Flames season, Robert Vollman of Puck Prospectus discusses the Flames questionable jersey retirement habits. Enjoy!)
The Calgary Flames have retired two players' numbers, Lanny McDonald and Mike Vernon. Given that standard, who else should have their numbers retired?
First of all, should Mike Vernon's number really be retired? While it's true that Mike Vernon was fantastic in 1988-89, leading the league in Wins, earning the 4th best save percentage in the NHL (his highest ranking ever), and earning a spot on the NHL's 2nd All-Star team en route to a Stanley Cup, is one season really enough to have his number hanging from the rafters?
Another goalie may have been more worthy of the honour - Daniel Bouchard. Bouchard had far more shut-outs in far fewer games, and while he pre-dates the era of recording save percentages, Bouchard bests Vernon 3.03 to 3.26 in goals-against average. According to GVT, which measures the number of goals a netminder has prevented relative to a replacement-level player, Bouchard isn't the only goalie to contribute far more to the franchise than Vernon – remember Reggie "Let 'em in" Lemelin?
Goalie - Calgary - Career
Daniel Bouchard - 139.0 - 170.2
Reggie Lemelin - 84.5 - 116.5
Mike Vernon - 51.8 - 93.0
As the goalie ranking a distant 3rd in franchise history, even when you include his time elsewhere, does Vernon truly deserve this honour just because of one great season?
As significant as Bouchard's contributions were, there are two Flames who contributed far more while wearing the Flaming C but, believe it or not, neither one had a bushy red moustache.
I'm hesitant to disparage the selection of Lanny McDonald's jersey for the honour given the Hall of Famer's iconic stature, but it appears that once again a single season has been the decisive factor. In 1982-83 McDonald was a 2nd Team all-star, finished 2nd in the NHL in goal-scoring with 66 and earned the Bill Masterton trophy for his sportsmanship and perseverance.
At the risk of getting mugged on my way home, our legendary Captain was weak defensively, and the vast majority of his career production was while donning a blue Maple Leaf. What's more, there are 8 other Flames with more productive careers, including the aforementioned puckstopper, all but one of which (Doug Gilmour) earned a greater share of their career GVT as a Flame. No, the two deserving Calgary Flames to which I'm referring are Al MacInnis and Theo Fleury.
Hall of Famer Al MacInnis does indeed have his number retired, but by the St. Louis Blues, where he spent far less of his career and earned far fewer of his accolades. His Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe were with Calgary, as were 5 of his 7 All-Star team recognitions. He was a Calgary Flame in 1990-91 when he had 75 assists (3rd in the NHL) and 103 points (9th), and was +42 (3rd). He's the all-time leading Flame in assists and +/-, 3rd in points, and despite being a defenseman, he's 7th in goals scored – just 2 behind Mr. McDonald.
Just ahead of MacInnis on the point chart is Theo Fleury, whose offensive accomplishments are exceeded by only Jarome Iginla in most categories, and has the 4th best career +/- among Flames. Fleury's best season was either strike-shortened 1994-95, when he was named to the NHL's 2nd all-star team, and finished 6th in goals and points, or else 1990-91, when his 51 goals were the league's 2nd best, and he finished 8th in points, and led the league in +/-. Yes, Fleury's defense is often ignored , but his integral role on the Flames penalty kill is obvious when you consider that he's 9th all-time in short-handed goals with 35. Don't let his off-ice struggles distract you, #14 should be waving at us from the rafters.
Player - Calgary - Career
Al MacInnis - 207.8 - 377.9
Theo Fleury - 184.8 - 225.7
Joe Nieuwendy - 131.1 - 240.7
Gary Suter - 125.7 - 209.5
Gary Roberts - 108.1 - 175.9
Paul Reinhart - 92.1 - 119.5
Kent Nilsson - 84.5 - 116.5
Guy Chouinard - 82.5 - 85.3
Joey Mullen - 80.4 - 189.6
Hakan Loob - 74.1 - 74.1
Jamie Macoun - 71.6 - 86.4
Eric Vail - 68.8 - 68.8
Tom Lysiak - 68.1 - 110.9
Doug Gilmour - 65.5 - 239.2
Joel Otto - 58.2 - 73.2
Lanny McDonald - 55.7 - 156.8
According to GVT there are perhaps 17 Flames that should be considered for the honour before Lanny McDonald, if you include the two goalies (Bouchard 3rd, Lemelin 9th). Since many of these players, including MacInnis and Fleury, both enjoyed single seasons as distinguished as Vernon's and McDonald's, and were part of the Stanley Cup season (heck, MacInnis was the MVP), there must be some other criteria we're overlooking.
Sure, McDonald and Vernon were known for leadership and heart, but so too were so many of the statistically more deserving. Would it really be fair if these players are eliminated from consideration simply because they didn't end their careers wearing red?
Closing Arguments
Make of it what you will, because at the end of the day the jerseys on the rafters don't put points on the board. Regardless of whether or not your favourite Flames is ever selected for this honour, you do have to appreciate that the Flames are historically so deep in talent that players like MacInnis, Fleury and Nieuwendyk aren't immediately hustled to the Saddledome. Most teams would be thrilled with even a Nilsson, Mullen or a Loob (hey, who wouldn't be thrilled with a Loob?), whereas the Flames have several doors on which to knock first.
Nevertheless, if I may be so bold with my closing words: Send the 9 to Toronto, put up 2 and 14, and say the 30 is Bouchard's.
Poor Kent, sorry nobody else seems to notice that it was Rob Vollman that wrote the article.
I 100% agree that Theoren Fleury and Al McInnis have long deserved to have their names flying high at the Dome. Not sure why when Fleury didn't complete his comeback last year they didn't retire his jersey at some point in the season. Makes no sense. One of those two should be honoured this year or next at the latest. Don't know what the hold up has been about but the Flames need to do something to honour these two players. I guess Fleury did get the tryout but I don't count that because he played well, possibly should have made the team.
Niewy and Gilmore should also be in the talks to have their numbers retired as well.
OH and Go Flames Go.

You forgot to mention Tony Amonte
Just wanted to take the egg out of my mouth long enough to thank everyone for their comments.
Go easy on Kent, this wasn't his idea. In fact just the other day I saw him holding Vernon's hand while skipping down the sidewalk.
P.S. If it helps the stat-haters out there, just replace the objective arguments above for the following: - MacInnis is awesome, W00t! - Anyone who doesn't like Theo obviously has a lemon up his butt LOL - Vernon is as useless as a third nipple.
Joking aside - thanks to everyone who took the time to read and comment, including/especially those who disagreed.
Sorry Kent, you know I only read your name at the top, see the pic at the bottom, and kind of skim the rest. All that mathy stuff just makes my eyes burn.
My point on Lanny still stands though. I can see that there deserves to be debate over retiring Vernon, MacInnis, Fleury and even Nieuwendyk, but I think the big red soup strainer has earned his place in the heart of the fans several times over.
Very interesting topic indeed. And very welcome distraction from the terrible start to the season (and Friday afternoon work). Here's my thoughts:
- MacInnis and Fleury should be absolute no brainers. I think it's a shame they haven't been retired already.
- Gilmour should be a NO. Great player, but only 3.5 season's with the Flames so he wasn't here long enough to make a truly lasting impact on the franchise (where as Fleury, for example, WAS the franchise for almost a decade).
- Sutter, Niewendyk, and Roberts should also be NOs. None of the three made a significant impact on the '86 and '89 runs, and none made the kind of impact Fleury did afterwards either. Niewendyks' most lasting impact might have been getting Iginla in return for his trade (again, not a claim Gilmour can make! :)
- I personally think Mullen and Loob should be given much more serious consideration. Both made (statsically) larger contributions that McDonald to the '86 and '89 runs, and even though they played fewer years for the Flames, had virtually the same regular season points as him. Mullen is the only other former Flame forward to also get into the Hall.
- I'm OK with the Vernon selection. Back stopped the flames to 2 cup finals, won 1, 5 time all-star, won 8 playoff rounds, etc. I was like 10 when Lanny retired, so I can't really comment, but looking back at stats I think it was questionable. Even so, I still associate him more with the '89 cup than even Big Al, and his 'stache is a Calgary icon. Even my 10 year old nephew who can't sit still to watch 1 period knows who he is.
- my reaction to Bouchard was, "who?" Looked him up and I still think the same.
- for current Flames, I'd have to say regardless of what happens now, Iginla is a lock. Had the Flames managed another couple deep playoff runs, I think Kipper would have been too. But barring another sneak-into-the-playoffs-go-to-the-final run this year, I think he's missed his chance. To be honest, I feel kinda bad for the guy considering how great a goalie he's been for us in his time here and how little we've been able to capitalize on it. The franchise might not owe him a retired number, but probably owes him an apology for wasting his career.
So in short I'd say it should be:
Definitely Worthy: - McInnis - Fleury - Iginla
Possibly Worthy: - Vernon - McDonald - Mullen - Loob
Probably not Worthy, but should be otherwise somehow honored: - Gilmour - Niewendyk - Suter - Roberts - Kipper - Regher - Otto - Gelinas - Zarley Zalapski (just for his name)
I pretty much agree with everything Greg said. One point on MacInnis, his crazy regular season stats like 103 points one year (and 80+ a few other times) are more than most "superstar forwards" score nowadays. Yes, a different era where goalies wore tiny pads, but still dudes, he deserves it! Fleury too was amazing and still gives Calgarians that emotional high like what Lanny does and does some great work outside hockey which tackles tough issues, takes a bold guy to go there. I agree that MacInnis and Newey working for other clubs makes the Flames say "wait and see" on retiring thier #s. But for garsh-darn sake, do the #14 already. You don't let anyone where #2 and #14 anyways so might as well retire them right?
October 15 2010, 11:58AM
Nevertheless, if I may be so bold with my closing words: Send the 9 to Toronto, put up 2 and 14, and say the 30 is Bouchard's.
...and this is why people hate 'stat guy'.
Oh Kent, what can I say? Its been nice to know you. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in a little red and black temple, a fatwa is being issued with your name on it. Lanny? Really? I think it would have been safer to take on the Taliban.
October 15 2010, 12:16PM
"...and this is why people hate 'stat guy'." That made me spit out my drink I laughed so hard! Apart from that, nice diversion Kent. I think definitely #2 and #14 should be retired. I think that Niewy should be considered as well. And at the end of their careers, obviously I think that Iggy is a lock and depending what happens in the next couple of seasons I think that Reggie and Kipper need to be given consideration. But that's for another day. What is with the Flames? Why don't they honour their past like the Oilers do? I don't want to model the Flames after the ol' boys club in Edmonton (they're finally coming out of the desert after scorching the earth of ex-Oilers) but they should do more to honour the past glory that was one of the best teams of that generation.
October 15 2010, 12:28PM
i've taken on this subject, myself, historically ---because i'm against the #30 banner, and CANT WAIT for #14 to go up in the rafters at the newly dubbed moneypit.
(i just made that up cause it takes scotiabank saddledome and all the flames' cap trouble and melts 'em into one concise name).
anyhow, i would think that if the flames season continues on the current trajectory (ie: a whole mess of stink), we'll see theo's jersey retired sooner rather than later. i was in da house when he played pre-season v. NYI last year, and the fans were chanting his name and going apes**t when he scored in shootout. after the depressed booing last night, ken king would be an idiot not to give them something to cheer about.

Yeah, if the Flames continue like this they will need something to cheer for at the Dome.
I agree in principle with the gist of this article - teams are too cavalier about retiring numbers.
I don't agree with retiring Vernon's jersey but I would like to see both McInnis and Fleury be retired in Calgary.
It's a great way to honour a player but it takes away from the honour the more that teams do it. Reserve it for the very elite of your organization.
I have heard of concepts such as a 'Ring of Honour' that I believe Vancouver has in their rink where they pay some homage to impact, high-profile players who may not be the jersey retiring calibre. I think this is a great idea and would love to see something like this in Calgary as well.
October 15 2010, 02:30PM
I hate to play my "I was actually a Flames fan back when..." card, but those numbers deserve to be there, as do Theo Al and Joe! Not because of their stats (though some are very nice!) but because of the ride they took us on, and the heroes they were to the city. Stats guy can suck eggs ;)
I beleive that MacInnis and Nieuwendyk aren't in the rafters because they went to work with the teams they retired on. And macInnis wanted to go in HofF as a Blue... Not much Calgary pride coming from him.

Good points. Although Boston and Colorado both retired Bourque's jersey. MacInnis isn't quite Bourque, but he did win a cup with us, and Conn Smythe, and should be in the rafters regardless. Time to right a wrong there.

Should have qualified my statements with, my opinion too.
When you reflect back on those teams, the players that jump out the most were guys like MacInnis. I definately think he should be in the rafters. I believe that the only reason the team is still in Calgary during its tough times were thanks to guys like Theo and Iggy. So they should be in too. More for what they did for the Flames Brand, Recognition in the city, those types of things, less about how many goals and cups they brought here.
Great point about Bourque though! Sure would be nice to have some pride in the past, especially when the future looks bleak.
October 15 2010, 04:37PM
I'll be one to disagree with Fleury. True, he was a great player here. But he also caused his share of problems. Particularly when his comeback didn't materialize. He's no role model. We need role models hanging from the rafters. For our kids...
Iginla definitely deserves this honour. MacInnis, as well.
No one else.

Apologies, but that may be one of the stupidest comments I've ever read.
Fleury was sexually abused as a child. He was taken advantage of and had his career from the after effects of James' actions. Instead of focusing on the problems he had, why not talk about how he was able to dig himself out of the hole? He's been sober for ~4 years now and he came forward with his story. I can't think of a better role model for people in the situation he was in. He has shown that you can get healthy, stay healthy, and take action against those who hurt you without repercussion.
Also like the ring of honor idea to get all the other good dudes up honored. P.S. Let's not retire all the numbers under 30 like in Montreal.
Mullen and McDonald aren't the only two former Flame forwards in the Hall of Fame - don't forget Brett Hull. Played his first 57 games wearing the Flaming C before being dealt for a couple of key pieces of the '89 Cup Run: Ramage and Wamsley.
October 15 2010, 07:58PM
Fleury will unquestionably be up there anyway
I'll second that. Fleury, even now, isn't exactly a "class act". But given the childhood he had and abuse he's suffered, I think he's become a great role model and I'd gladly tell any kid his story and what can be learnt from it.
@Robert V
Haha. I was actually going to say in my post that as long as no one ever suggests that we should retire Brett Hull's jersey, I can live with the rest of the decisions, but didn't think it actually needed to be said :)
Incidentally I think I'm flip flopping on Niewendyk and putting him in my maybe category, on par with Mullen and Loob. Jeepers, what a team that was eh?
Oh and I'd also add Steve Smith in the "should be honored" group for the series winning goal he scored on Fuhr :)
October 16 2010, 12:10AM
@ Justin
I was pulling for Fleury to make the team last year. He's a victim. No doubt about it. A survivor. Perhaps you are right. Perhaps that earns him a spot in the rafters. I'm not 100% sold on the role model, though. But, like I said, I'm not one who ever hated Fleury. Certainly like him more than Brett Hull!
based on leadership alone staios should be in the rafters! and milskey.
Suggesting that a goalie who played all of one season in Calgary deserves to have his number retired more than a guy who played 11 seasons, was from Calgary and was on the Stanley Cup winning team is foolish.
Sure, Bouchard had years in the franchise, but is that meaningful to Calgarians, who would have to look at his name and number every game?
As far as Lemelin goes. His stats don't suggest he is a better goalie than Vernon at any level. Higher GAA, lower sv%, less games, less wins, less Stanley Cups, Less games played. No matter what you use as a measuring stick...he's not as good.
Until Kipper's career is over. There isn't one goalie who is more clearly associated with the Calgary Flames than Vernon. You could probably argue that strong association even further, to league-wide, if you consider the Flames short history and dearth of decent goaltending.
Correction: Lemelin had a higher save percentage as a Flame than Vernon, though granted much of Lemelin's career was before save percentage was officially recorded.
Yes, he saw less action and had fewer games, fewer wins, etc - but if you adjust for era his goals-against average was equal to Vernon's.
What GVT shows us is that for much of his time with Calgary, Mike Vernon was contributing at a level at or slightly above what you'd expect from a replacement-level player, whereas Lemelin was contributing far more, but over a shorter period of time. Over-all Lemelin contributed more to the franchise than Vernon.
@Robert V
Lemelin played 29 games as a Flame before sv% was recorded, which is not even one full season. It's likely he wasn't noticeably better in that 29 game span. We have sv% for over 95% of his career. Where is "much of"?
How goals against in these Era's is much different is dubious as well. Lemelin was a Flame from 80-87. Vernon from 85-94. Lemelin played well into the 90's with Boston and still was no better, in fact worse, than he was with the Flames. We're hardly comparing someone from the 20's to someone from the 90's.
The Flames only numbers as I read them are:
Lemelin 6982/7908 = .883 vs Vernon 12277/13892 = .884
Vernon nearly doubles Lemelin in shots against with the Flames. I looked at career in my first calculation for Lemelin, but where is Lemelin's sv% ever higher? It's still lower only with the Flames, although, equal really.
However, Vernon's SA is much much higher. Again, his career sv% is higher. Plus, all the other previously listed comparables
I'm not trying to demonstrate that Vernon was a great goalie, but I see nothing that demonstrates Lemelin was better other than your "adjusted metric" which could be all voodoo for all I know.
I can tell you this. If your metric is telling anyone that Reggie "Let'em in" Lemelin should have his number retired. Then your metric is broken. What's next? Andre "Red Light" Racicot? in the rafters of the forum?

Mr. Speaker, last week I had the honour of attending the national Remembrance Day ceremony with my uncle, a veteran of the second world war, Sapper René Garand. My uncle joined the Canadian army in 1941. He served as a gunner throughout Europe until the end of the war.
My uncle shared with me a horrific story of when his unit, the 14th Armoured Canadian Regiment of Calgary, was ambushed in Italy in 1943. The four tanks ahead of his had been bombed and were burning. He was in the fifth tank, which was also hit. Due to the courageous efforts of his comrades and his own, they were able to save their own lives and the lives of many other Canadians.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our veterans and current members of the Canadian Forces for their courageous dedication and sacrifice in protecting our country.
I would also like to thank my uncle René, who is well loved by our entire family.
I stand with my colleagues in this House in saying, "Lest we forget".

Mr. Speaker, it has been five days now since the Liberal leader insinuated that the candidacy of Julie Javier in Winnipeg North was nothing more than a game to steal votes from the Liberal candidate because of her Filipino heritage, yet the Liberal leader still has not apologized for his insulting and offensive comments. In fact, he is now saying that it was not what he meant.
That is hard to believe, given that his Liberal candidate, Kevin Lamoureux, pushed the original story out on his Twitter account and on his website. If he did not believe the story to be true, why would he push it out for all to see? It is simple. He believed it. He does believe that her candidacy is a game.
Let me be clear. Julie Javier's candidacy is no game. She is the only candidate who will get tough on crime. She is the only candidate who will protect the important jobs at Bristol, and she is the only candidate who can give Winnipeg North a voice--

Mr. Speaker, this is a good day for Canada, for parliamentarians and for people across this country struggling with poverty. Yesterday a landmark report was tabled from a three-year study that offers us a master plan to eliminate poverty.
We have anywhere from three million to four million poor. This plan is good news for our vulnerable populations: aboriginals, seniors alone without support, persons with disabilities, children, working poor and immigrants. Thanks to hundreds of witnesses, we have the foundation for a just and inclusive country.
Seven provinces and territories and a chorus of Canadians want Ottawa to lead. A federal strategy to eliminate poverty in Canada is all about nation-building. Together we can recognize that a national poverty elimination strategy is the right thing to do. The evidence indicates that it is also the smart and economic thing to do. It is time to act.

Mr. Speaker, when will the NDP public safety critic stop manipulating the agenda of the committee for his own political objectives?
Yesterday, in a rare break from the opposition coalition agenda, the committee heard from the Minister of Public Safety and officials from his department on our important legislation that would prohibit sex offenders who prey upon children the right to ever get a pardon. Instead of allowing the committee to hear from the technical experts on this important piece of legislation, the member for Vancouver Kingsway spent a quarter of the committee's time playing partisan political games.
Canadians expect the opposition to give legislation due time and consideration and not hijack these meetings for partisan gain. This is legislation that law-abiding Canadians, victims and law enforcement have all told us is important, timely and necessary.
For us, the choice is clear. Keeping our communities, streets and families safe from crime is the priority and should be the committee's priority. I call upon the member for Vancouver Kingsway and his coalition partners to make it their priority.

Mr. Speaker, November 20 is Universal Children's Day, which marks the signing of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
Although it signed these agreements, this Conservative government has reneged on its commitments numerous times. It capped development funding in its 2010 budget, breaking its promise to invest 0.7% of its GDP in order to achieve the millennium development goals, six of which concern children. As well, in 2009, the Conservatives abandoned Africa by amending the list of priority countries receiving international aid, which affected some of the poorest populations. Children will lose the most.
This Conservative government has also violated the rights of child soldier Omar Khadr, creating a dangerous precedent.
Reneging on commitments like this is simply shameful. When the Conservatives were denied a seat on the UN Security Council, they got proof that the international community will not stand for their flippant behaviour.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members

Justin Trudeau Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the Winnipeg Free Press admitted that it made a mistake in an editorial and a headline by making a false accusation about the Leader of the Opposition.
It is now perfectly clear that our leader was not playing political games. He called for a straight-up fight and a clear choice for the voters of Winnipeg North, and spoke only about Kevin Lamoureux, who brings to this byelection 18 years of commitment to his constituents.
However, that did not stop the Conservative Party from ramping up a campaign of misinformation based on these false headlines. Through statements in this House and emails from government MPs, the Conservatives yet again spread myth as if it were fact.
The government's conduct in this matter is calculated to divide communities based on a falsehood. It should be ashamed of itself. Now that the record has been corrected, it has an obligation to do the honourable thing and apologize to the people of Winnipeg North and to Canadians, who deserve better from their government. Anything less would be dishonourable.
Democratic Reform
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, in the course of his tirade yesterday, the NDP leader bemoaned the length of terms in the Senate. He told Canadians that they should worry because senators are appointed for "one heck of a long time". We understand those were hollow words when he directed his procedural henchmen to plot a strategy to kill our Conservative government's Senate term limits bill, a bill that would solve the problem he claimed to be worried about. As the member for Hamilton Centre admitted, it was done as a retaliation.
Canadians expect better. Unlike the NDP leader who tells Canadians one thing and does something else in the House of Commons, Conservatives have been consistent and clear since 2006. We support reforming the upper house, including limiting senators to a single term of eight years.
Banting Homestead Heritage Park
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, on November 14, World Diabetes Day and Sir Frederick Banting's birthday were celebrated for the first time at the birthplace of Dr. Banting in my riding of Simcoe—Grey. Members of the Banting family, the community and the Sir Frederick Banting Legacy Foundation celebrated in the newly restored octagonal drive shed at the Banting Homestead Heritage Park. In 2008, the Town of New Tecumseth purchased the homestead, and in 2009 I secured Banting's designation as a person of historical significance.
With the world watching, Canadians have the opportunity to help this $9 million fundraising project that includes the restoration of the farm house, construction of a heritage exhibit building, a diabetes outreach and learning clinic, support for research, and the creation of a new Banting legacy chair in pediatric diabetes research.
I encourage the government to support the preservation of his birthplace, this international landmark, to honour the legacy of a Canadian medical giant whose discovery of insulin has saved billions of lives worldwide.
National Defence
Oral Questions
November 18th, 2010 / 2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence continues to vent publicly, and rightly so, about the foolish, clumsy bungling of international airport landing rights in Canada.
That mismanagement with respect to the United Arab Emirates has badly damaged Canadian relations with what should be a valued ally in the struggle against terrorism.
Will the government House leader now admit that he was wrong on this matter, so much so that the defence minister is still fuming about it a month later and talking with Bay Street lawyers about leaving the government?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, it will come as no surprise to my friend from Wascana that I do not share much of the opinion that he has expressed, and it is opinion, not fact.
At cabinet, the Government of Canada has an important responsibility to stand up and do what is best for Canada, and that is exactly what we did in this regard.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, because of the wrong-headed advice given by the government House leader, the defence minister was cut out of the loop on airport landing rights, an ally against al-Qaeda was insulted, Canada was evicted from the Camp Mirage staging base, Canadian taxpayers are now stuck with some multiple of $300 million in totally wasted costs and Canada lost votes for the UN Security Council.
Does the government House leader now understand why the defence minister parades about in a "Fly Emirates" hat and negotiates with a law firm for a new job?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, those of us on this side of the House who have the privilege to serve in government have an important responsibility to the people of Canada: to stand up and do what is best for Canada and what is best for Canadians.
The deal that was in front of us was not of net benefit to Canada, which is why we could not sign on.
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, the defence minister thought otherwise.
The defence minister said that it will take 10 years to fix the damage done by the government House leader to Canada's relations with the UAE. Ten years is how long Canada will have to wait to get another shot at the UN Security Council if the UAE calms down. Ten years is how long this country will labour under new debt caused by Conservative bungling like the Camp Mirage fiasco.
Why will the reckless minister not just admit to a very stupid mistake?
National Defence
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, why is it that every time Canada gets into a disagreement with another country the Liberal Party of Canada rushes to the microphones as quickly as possible and stands up to defend the other country? Why does the Liberal Party not stand up and support Canada? Why does it not stand up and do what is best for Canada?

Apple has placed a huge order for NAND flash memory chips, presumably for their upcoming iPhone release (or releases) this summer. The authors of the DigiTimes story state that Apple has ordered over 100 million 8Gb (gigabit) chips, largely from Samsung, a quantity that represents a rough doubling of the number of chips ordered by the company this time last year.
We've known that at least one new iPhone model was coming this summer for months, and one of the most obvious areas for enhancement for such a device would be storage capacity. Could the new iPhone come in 16GB and 32GB capacities like the 2G iPod touch? Could a 64GB model be on the way? We'll have to wait and see.
One thing is certain: this massive order will limit the flash memory supply for some time, perhaps as late as June.

I am interested in hearing some thoughts from people who know more than I do. Having read some of the discussion on this blog, newly-discovered to me, I see that there is plenty of thought given to the manner of teaching Greek. In the realm of beginning grammars, are there good options available for a more inductive approach to learning NT Greek? The grammars that I have seen and heard high recommendations for are usually heavily based upon memorizing charts and forms. I see that there is sympathy from the readers and writers on this site to the idea that more inductive methods are more effective in the end. I have thought for years, since I studied NT Greek in college, that a better way would be to emphasize a lot more translation work a lot earlier.
Connected to that idea, it seems also that it would be somewhat valuable for the translation work to be what "authentic" Greek, that is, Greek from actual sources from the first century. In a NT Greek class, that would naturally mean primarily, if not exclusively, the New Testament itself. I remember being exposed to two Latin grammars popular in schools, Ecce Romani and Wheelock. My experience in learning Latin was from Ecce Romani. When I later encountered Wheelock, it was very different, and I was given to understand that the teacher who was using Wheelock had a great dislike for Ecce Romani because, basically, it tells a story in Latin for many chapters that is written by people today and is not "real" Latin. I feel the same basic way about Greek grammars and their translation exercises today. If all the exercises are written by people who are not native Greek speakers, isn't there a much higher probability that the native idiom of the author comes through? Wouldn't it be better to use NT passages for examples in learning basic grammar?
Are there good grammars out there for teaching NT Greek along these lines of thinking?

Already it's fun! Who's alreadychanged the channel?
Like, "Hm, nah..."
"You know what, nah..."
"No, I thought for a second,maybe that channel,
not that channel now."
"No, I went into it, thinkingthat was the channel.
I was wrong. I was way wrong."
They change the channelbut come back, and I'm just...
(high-pitched): "And then, whathappened? Who's over here?"
"Oh, gosh!"
God, I got to remember to dothat at the end, just in case
someone goes, "Hey, flip backand see how he closes."
(high-pitched):"And then you're over here!"
"Oh, okay!"
But you guys are laughing.
People at home thinkyou're crazy.
Who is in that audience?!
What does he have?!
He's got nothing!
Flew in, flew in.Uh, do not like to fly.
And I tell my friends,they're like,
"Oh, you afraidyou're going to die?"
No, I just don't really likegetting talked down to
the moment I walkinto the airport.
Let's pull it back, TSA.
Let's pull it back one notch.
You walk in, they just tell you,"Your shoes have to be off!"
"Your shoes have to be off andthey have to go on the belt."
"Take your belt off!Do you have a belt on?!"
"Well, then that comes off."
You're talking down to me?
This is like one of theonly places I walk into,
look around, and immediatelyassume that if I wanted to,
I could just be the manager.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm one application away
from just owningwhatever this is.
And you're talking down to me."Get your, get your belt off."
"Do you have anything anythingin your pockets?"
"No, you can putyour I.D. away.
You don't have toshow that anymore."
They honestly thinkthat we're going,
"When can I showmy I.D. again?!"
"When can Iget this out again?!"
"You can put it away. "
"You don't need your I.D."
"Get everything outof your pockets,
"put it in the smaller tub.If you have stuff in there,
"it goes in smaller... You haveto get your computer out.
"Your computer cannotbe touching socks
"when it goes through that.
It has to bein its own tub. Duh."
We all know that.
Computers can't touch socks when
they go throughwhatever that is.

"Get it out, yes,get it in a separate bin!"
"Put it through.Now, put it on there!"
"Now, put your shoes on... No!No! Shoes go by themselves!"

"I just see all the boxes!I don't know!"
"Just the... that's what I do!"
"Turns out the unitwas worth $1,500."
"500 bucks..."
"Ooh... "
That's how you knowthe U.S. Government
is now involved in television production.
They're like, "Hey, makesome shows where they think
200 bucks is cool, y-y-yeah."
"No, no, the economy'snot doing well."
"Make 'em think $200 is sweet."
Used to be Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Nope. 100 bucks.
"100 bu...Oh! (chuckles) okay."
"Okay, we are sittin' pretty,(chuckles) yeah."
"100 bucks."

was worth...
♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,ah, ah... ♪
♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,ah, ah, ah, ah... ♪
38 bucks! Yeah!
You watch that, you watch itand you're like,
"Geez, is that your life?"And you take one step back
and you're like, "Oh, my God,I'm watching your life.
Who am I?"
I like it if the pilothas a Southern accent
when I get on to a plane.
That calms me down.You know why?
They say "hi" right away.They say "hello."
Have you ever beenon a flight where
the pilot doesn't say anything,
and you're like 30 secondsfrom takeoff?
You freak, you're like,"Who's up there?"
"Who is doing this, okay?!
"We're kind of freaked out.Have been,
have been fora couple years, yeah."
"Say hello."
When I get onto a flight,if the flight crew
hasn't said hello,I freak out at my seat.
I'm like,"These are Russian terrorists."
"This is happening, this ishappening right now."
"Are you ready for this?"
"Are you ready to bein a Steven Seagal movie?
Are you ready for that?
Does everyone here knowslow uninteresting karate?
'Cause if you do, you canbe the lead if you want...
to be the lead in this."
You know whenthe flight crew's Southern.
You're walking to your seat."Really, we're already
talking about the Forth of July?It's February."
That's small-talkyou can't teach.
You either got it or you don't.
Love it whenthe pilot's Southern.
"Hey, how you folksdoing back there?"
Whole lot better now that I knowyou're in charge.
"We're going to take this thingupstairs to God's country."
Ah... What?
What did he just sa... ah...
Ah, like a good hurt.
Ow, but oh, I like it.
"Sorry that we're getting out ofthe gate kind of late today."
"We're gonna fly itlike we stole it. (chuckles)"
"Who's, uh,who's up there, huh?"
"Mr. Perfect-pants?Who's flying this thing?"
"Fly like we stole, okay, yeah,no one stole anything."
I think no one got the joke."No one stole anything."
"He's just going to fly faster,if you're wo... interest..."
"Yeah, yeah, it's a joke."
"Well, you should haveyour headphones off.
The door's closed. So, youshould have those off."
I'm that guy on the flight,I'm like, "(fake laugh) Him!"
"Him, he's the one who doesn'tcare about other people."
Just take a big ol' siphere of my diarrhea cup
if ya'll don't mind.
Mmm, it's good,it's showbiz, showbiz.
A lot of people drink diarrhea.
You ever been on a flight andthe person sitting next to you
gets up to go to the bathroom?
And they're gonefor just a really long time?
You freak out, don't you?
You know you freak out. You'relike, "Okay, what is this?"

(overhead beep)
"Hi, yeah, no,the guy sitting next to me,
"uh, he's been gonefor quite a bit.
"He's eitherpoopity-pooping, or...
he is a terrorist. There's no...It's one or the other."
"There's no middle ground,not these days."
steal an old person?
Oh, I guess everyone herehas their grandparents.
Some of us don't;we got to replace ours, okay?
Here's a tip:
Old people in wheelchairs...
rarely turn aroundto see who's pushing 'em.
You're at the store,you see a wheelchair...
No one's stopping you.
"Hey, where you goingwith that old person?"
That's never been said. That'sthe first time that's been said.
"Hey, where you goingwith those old people?!"
No one's asking that.No one cares.
When old people are around,everybody's thought is,
"Hey, (murmurs): get theseold people out of there.
Get them out of here."Okay, I'll help.
Don't say anything.
You get out to the parking lot--"That's not our car."
Get in!
You're my grandmother now.
Folks, find the positive.
I have seven grandmothersright now.
You know how great that is?
Seven grandmothers?
I love the one grandmother;her love is so strong.
Try seven!
I'm leaving in the morning,make an announcement.
"Hey, I'll be home at 3:00!
"Everybody bakes cookies!
Everybody. We'll seewho did the best."
I come home at 3:00-- "Home!
"Let's do it!
Grandmother number one."
"Was that raisins?What was that?"
"Hey, hey...
"act like you want it.
"Grandmother number two!
"Ooh, is thatmint chocolate chip?
Good for you."
"Mmm! (chuckles) Mmm!
"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
(giggling continues)
"Mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm.
"We have a winner!
"Other five, no need to test.
"Get out of here. Do a lap.
Guess who gets to watchan hour of Nancy Grace tonight?"
You guys ever beento a sex shop?
Let me rephrase that,
make it more comfortablefor everybody.
Who here hasn't beento a sex shop?
Oh, that's what I thought!
Where were youon the first question?
Just filling out halfthe application tonight?
Don't put our address.Don't put our address.
See what they say.
We all know the dealon the sex shop. We get it.
It's awkward.
No one will look at each other.
Everybody's just eyes down,you try to stand close
to whatever it isyou're looking at.
What is that?
What the hell is that?
You feel like your deadrelatives are shopping with you.
It's awkward, it's awkward.
We know what's in there, though.
You guys get it: costumes,toys, lubrications...
I was standing in a sex shop,
I was looking at the toys,
just looking at the fake ass.
You know what I'm talking about?
You know, and even if you don'tknow what I'm talking about,
you kind of know exactlywhat I'm talking about.
You know what I'm talking about.
It's just an ass.Just a vagina and an anus.
That's all it is.We know the deal.
Stared at it for five minutes,
sizing it up.
At the end of five minutes,I was, like, "You know what?
"Yes, I would have sexwith that.
Yes, I would. I would."
No one's ever gonna knowif I did or not?
Then yes, of course.I was gonna masturbate anyways.
Let's get some music in there,you know what I mean?
Hey, you going downto the field?
Why don't you take the equipmentwith you?
Have the closest thing you canget to a sex scrimmage.
Guys, don't know whenthey're gonna masturbate.
We don't know whenwe're gonna do it.
It just happens.You'll be home, no one's there.
"Hey, is anybody here?
"Ah, okay. Meh. Mah.
All right."
All guys do that beforethey decide
they're gonna masturbate?
Mah, meh, meh, meh, mah!Now I have to, now I have to.
Can't do this for my whole life.
Oh, I got to jerk off!
That's how it is. We don't knowwhen we're gonna do it.
We just do it.
You buy that fake ass,
you got to start puttinga schedule together.
Like, you got to know whatTuesday looks like on Sunday,
you know what I mean?
"Hey, what time are you gonnabe home from work again?
"For sure?
"For sure, 4:30? For sure?
It doesn't matterwhy I'm asking!"
You got to factor in how longit's gonna take
to climb into the atticwhere you've hidden it...
behind the early Christmaspurchases.
Oh, there you are. Come on.
I'm ready with excuses.
Like, if somebody walks in--
not somebody-- my girlfriend.
Not just somebody.
If just somebody walked in,that's on me.
You know what I mean?That's on me.
If just somebody walked in,
I made bad choiceswell before this moment
if just somebody walked in.
I deserve it. I deserve that.
Just anybody?
Oh, hey, sorry. Oh.
Girlfriend.If my girlfriend walks in,
I'm ready to go.
"Oh, my God,what are you doing?!
"I don't know, practicing?
"I love you, okay?Turns out I love you.
"I want to be better at thisfor you, okay?
"I'm tired of being the only onethat gets off, you know?
"I hate that.
"And you know what?You could help out, too, okay?
"You could get ridof your legs
"and you could cut offthat torso
"because this,I could work with, okay?
"I can play the angles in there!I'm good in there!
"And I know someonewho doesn't cry
when I try to put itin the B-U-T-T! Okay?"
God, I want some moreof that diarrhea.
I know it's not gonna happen,but if you could,
could you just make sure
to keep in allthe diarrhea stuff?
Because if someone is justflipping channels,
I really want that to happen
'cause that looks like diarrhea.
And then they will stayon the channel.
"Whoa. What's this?
"Get in here. Kids, get in here!
"A guy drinking diarrhea!Now! Get in here!
Got to see it!"
I was recently inTampa Bay, Florida.
Okay. I thought that.
Some friends wanted to goto a strip club.
I said, "No, no thanks.It's not for me.
Don't really enjoy doing it."
They said, "Well, at this stripclub, you can touch the girls
while they dance on you."
And I said,"Then let's go do that.
"Let's go do that.That sounds great.
"That sounds really great.
"Can we go now?Can we just be there?
"Can we just be there now?How do we get there?
"Is there a faster wayto get there
"than the fastest wayto get there?
"Can we just happento be at it now?
"That sounds great. I'm in.
"Why didn't you say thatat the beginning?
"Why didn't you just walk upand be,
'Hey, I know of a roomwe can go to
'where we can touch girlswhile they dance on us.'"
"I would have been, like,
"I'm sorry.Do you mean a strip club?
"But just to be clear here,it doesn't have to be one.
"I mean, if it really is justa room in a shed in the woods,
"I'm still in.
"Like, I want to go.Definitely going.
So, yeah, let's do that."
It was a lot of fun, you guys.A whole lot of fun.
A lot of booby touching.
You're thinking, "Come on."I'm weird.
We're adults here.
I just told you there's a placeyou can to go to,
and women just let youtouch their boobs.
Guys, I'm gonna takeall the bullets on this? Really?
You know in your head,you're, like
Yes! I'll never go,but I like that it's an option!"
I'm telling you whereparadise is.
It was fun.
I know some people,"I don't like that.
What, did you touch those girlsin their downstairs area?"
How about no?'Cause I respect women.
And also it was oneof the rules.
Downside, though, is nowwhenever I'm in another city,
people are, like, "Hey,let's go to a strip club,"
I've always got to chime inas the creepy dude who's, like,
"Hey, do you know if we'reallowed to touch the girls?"

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Staten Island University Hospital, part of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes SIUH's commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care by ensuring that stroke patients receive treatment according to nationally accepted guidelines.
"We are dedicated to making our care for stroke patients among the best in the country. The American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines–Stroke program helps us to accomplish this goal," said Souhel Najjar, MD, SIUH's director of neurology. "This recognition demonstrates that we are on the right track and we're very proud of our team."
Get With The Guidelines–Stroke helps the SIUH staff develop and implement acute and secondary prevention guideline processes to improve patient care and outcomes. The program provides hospitals with a web-based patient management tool, best practice discharge protocols and standing orders, along with a robust registry and real-time benchmarking capabilities to track performance.
The quick and efficient use of guideline procedures can improve the quality of care for stroke patients and may reduce disability and save lives.
"Recent studies show that patients treated in hospitals participating in the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke program receive a higher quality of care and may experience better outcomes," said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., chair of the Get With The Guidelines National Steering Committee and director of the TeleStroke and Acute Stroke Services at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass. " Staten Island University Hospital's stroke team is to be commended for their commitment to improving the care of their patients."
Following Get With The Guidelines-Stroke treatment guidelines, patients are started on aggressive risk-reduction therapies including the use of medications such as tPA, antithrombotics and anticoagulation therapy, along with cholesterol reducing drugs and smoking cessation counseling. These are all aimed at reducing death and disability and improving the lives of stroke patients. Hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for a designated period of time to be eligible for the achievement awards.

Progress Update: Homeless Link API
At the hack day back in June, I formed the winning team with Shaun Forde from Homeless Link and Dan Blundell, a software developer from Northampton. On the day, we built an API which allows access to Homeless Link's outreach services for a particular location, by combining their data with other reference datasets from Ordnance Survey, ONS and the DCLG. I wrote up a full account of the day on my blog.
Since the event, I've kept in touch with the other team members, and we've been exploring how we could build on what was achieved on the day. A key factor for moving this project forward is geting conceptual buy-in, from the relevant stakeholders at Homeless Link itself, that releasing some of their information in an open form is a good idea, and establishing some licensing-terms. This would give us the green flag to continue work on the API and eventually deploy it publicly.
We showed on the day that by combining a charity's closed data with existing geographic open data sets, the relevant information could be more easily found, and more efficiently and effectively (re)used. Perhaps we should focus on the bigger picture of opening up existing (and new) geographic datasets for use by charities by working on a tool-chain to make this easier for the normal software developer – i.e. not a hardcore geography or data nerd!
I'm getting involved with another hack day along these lines (details soon), with the hope of coaxing out what would be helpful to charities and voluntary organisations in this regard, as well as other software developers. But a hack day is only the beginning: embarking on this kind of project is a serious undertaking and would need support and funding. If anyone has ideas or contacts for pursuing this, then I'd love to hear them.

An impact fee on new residential and non-residential buildings coming into the city of Mt. Juliet will help expand the Mt. Juliet Fire Department as the city grows.
The fee will be $1,500 for each unit in residential. A single family home would be just the $1,500, but residential units like apartment complexes will bring a much bigger price tag. For example, If an apartment complex comes in with 400 units, the fee would be $600,000.
Non-residential would be a $1,500 fee plus $0.25 per square foot.
All of the money will go into the emergency services fund to expand the Mt. Juliet Fire Department as the city grows.
Vice Mayor James Maness said this was a good move for the city because it kept the city from having to raise property tax rates to help keep up with the costs of the fire department. So long time residents would not be affected by the growth.
"The burden is not going back on them," said Maness.
In addition to the impact fee, the commissioners put a hold on new permit applications until the fee can go into effect. The hold would be lifted if the fee passes second reading and goes into effect in Oct. 29. Commissioner Jim Bradshaw brought forth the resolution, and it was voted in unanimously. The fear was that there would be a run on building permit applications. The resolution does not effect applications that have active permit applications.
A resolution to approve an agreement between the City of Mt. Juliet, Wilson Emergency Communications District, and Wilson Emergency Management Agency concerning fire calls was also passed.
Communications will route the 911 fire calls to Mt. Juliet Police Department dispatch, who will alert the Mt. Juliet Fire Department. WEMA will also be alerted so they are aware.
In other business, the commissioners appropriated funds for survey and design of phase 3 of the Town Center Trail, restricted $600,000 of general fund balance for budget stabilization, and an agreement with Jones Bros., Inc. for turn lane improvements on West Division Street at South Greenhill Road.

What a great movie The Sound of Music is …. just wonderful, unforgettable music.ReplyCancel
All right. I will admit it. I still enjoy watching The Sound of Music. Still winder about the whole Austrian navy thing. What with Austria being landlocked and all.ReplyCancel
OneEyeCharlie, before WW1, the Austro-Hungarian empire controlled a large hunk of northern Italy, and Trieste, most with seaports. I assume Capt Von Trapp was in the navy before and during the first WW.
That's why there was an Austrian Navy.ReplyCancel
In the movie she was "Louisa".ReplyCancel
Sound of Music – still my favorite movie, watch it every chance I get. Cry beginning to end, even hum a tune when I'm sad. I'm a cool cucumber, but it brings out my sentimentality (Christopher Plummer looks like the men in my family or versa versa). Glad this is an annoymous post!
Incredible life stories the Von T's.
@AKM, the great grandchildren are on tour with Pink Martini. They have joint album dropping next week.ReplyCancel

The Toni Brattin Glamorous Wig features casual and versatile styling with tapered, smooth layers on top and sides that blend naturally into a no-fuss collar length neckline. The precision cut fringe creates a face framing style all its own.
Putting on Your Wig: Remove the hair net from the wig. Gently shake the wig to separate the fibers. If your hair is long, pin it flat to your head for a smooth silhouette under the wig. Optional Tip: Use a stretch nylon wig cap (included) to hold long or short hair under the wig. This light, cool cap will control your loose ends and prevent wig slippage. Place the front of the wig at your natural front hairline and pull on so that the back of the wig is placed at the nape. Adjust the wig as needed by sliding it from front to back or side to side. Use a rat tail comb to slip any loose ends under the wig. Hook and loop tape tabs in the lower back of the wig allow you to tighten or loosen for the perfect fit. Use your fingers to create the look that's just your style.
Styling Tips: Your wig has been specially designed to be ready-to-wear. Its body and style are permanently "baked" into the fiber for no fuss styling ease. Your wig needs just a shake and gentle combing to get it into shape. Rather than trying to get every hair into place, style it loosely for a soft, natural look. You may want your hairstylist to trim and/or thin the bangs or trim the length of the wig slightly to suit your face.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Gently remove tangles with fingers or pick comb. Add one teaspoonful of mild shampoo to basin of cool - never hot - water. Soak for 5 minutes, then gently swish up and down. Do not rub. Rinse thoroughly in cool water. Pat out excess water in a soft towel. Do not squeeze or twist. Hang to dry at room temperature. Do not brush or comb until completely dry. No setting necessary because its preset body will bounce back to its original shape.
Please note: No setting is necessary because its preset body will bounce back to its original shape. Do not use hair dryer, blow dryer or curling iron. Avoid exposure to excess heat.
