Harlequins ran seven tries past Zebre at the Stoop for a comfortable 53-5 bonus-point victory in the Heineken Cup on Saturday.
Harlequins ran seven tries past Zebre at the Stoop for a comfortable 53-5 bonus-point victory in the Heineken Cup on Saturday.
The result effectively secures top spot in Pool 3 for the English champions, who are now ten points clear of Biarritz with two games remaining.
Harlequins exploded into action in the second half as they hammered Zebre for the second time in as many weeks.
After racking up over 50 points in Italy last weekend, the home side might have been expecting an easy ride in front of their own fans but they were made to work hard in the first half.
A Nick Evans penalty and a try from young centre Tom Casson did give Quins an early lead but the visitors were determined not to go down without a fight and a great run from Luciano Orquera set up a try for Ruggero Trevisan to half the deficit before the half-hour mark.
The game became a lot more comfortable for the hosts just before half-time though as another three points from the boot of Evans was followed by a yellow card for Daniel Halangahu and a penalty try after several infringements in the scrum.
Replacement Ben Botica had only been on the field two minutes when he opened the scoring in the second half and, when Gonzalo Garcia was sinbinned soon afterwards, it looked like another long afternoon was on the cards for Zebre.
And so it proved as Nick Easter finished off a great drive from the Harlequins pack to seal the bonus point and winger Sam Smith added a fifth before the hour mark.
Quins then made a host of changes but the visitors' spirit was broken and they again surpassed the 50-point mark as scrum-halves Danny Care and Karl Dickson made it seven tries either side of Zebre's third yellow card of the match for Filippo Ferrarini.
The scorers:
For Harlequins:
Tries: Casson, Penalty try, Botica, Easter, Smith, Care, Dickson
Cons: Evans 6
Pens: Evans 2
For Zebre:
Try: Trevisan
Yellow cards: Halangahu, Gacia, Ferrarini
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Ugo Monye, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Tom Casson, 11 Sam Smith, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Tom Guest, 5 George Robson, 4 Charlie Matthews, 3 Will Collier, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Mark Lambert.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Darryl Marfo, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Sam Twomey, 20 Luke Wallace, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Jordan Turner-Hall.

Incorporates shock absorber into master assembly
Warns vehicle operator when brake fluid is low
Preloaded dampener unit
Drop-N-Go auto latch with 2" coupler
Our Price $214.99 - $279.99
Sale Price $169.99 - $269.99
detailsback to top
Product DescriptionThis innovative hydraulic trailer brake actuator has a unique all-aluminum master cylinder that incorporates the shock absorber into the master cylinder assembly. This warns the vehicle operator when the brake fluid is low. The oversized master cylinder provides the higher pressures required to run disc brakes and the added brake fluid volume to run both tandem and tri-axle configurations. Higher pressures mean quicker stops when using traditional drum brakes. Preloaded dampener unit means you no longer have to "pump" the dampener before bleeding the brakes. Drop-N-Go auto latch features a 2" coupler that when closed will automatically latch onto the hitch ball. Fits trailer frames up to 3"W x 5"H and accommodates 2" hitch balls.

Sesto Meucci Riding boot....simply gorgeous
"I fell in love with these boots as soon as I opened the box. The leather is soft and looks high quality. The color was a rich, brown...just beautiful. There is a nifty little adjustable tab on the back of the boots that is both decorative and ingenious....allows the wearer to either tighten or loosen the shaft of the boot to fit either slim or muscular/chunky calves. The soles are genuine leather as well and make them very comfortable to walk in. The shape of the toe box is slightly almond shaped, very feminine and flatter the foot. It's probably best for a normal to narrow foot.I feel like a million bucks in these sumptuous, Italian leather riding boots. Exactly what I wanted.....luxurious!"

My new brown riding boots
"I read a bunch of reviews on this shoemaker and this boot before purchasing, so ordered a half size up. I'm generally a 9, but some brands a 9.5 - so this didn't seem weird. I could have ordered the 9, turns out. But they are good quality and I've gotten compliments on them. From the front and side, they look like a classic crisp brown riding boot, but the back is just as cute in person as it is in the pictures. Also, they smelled my whole bedroom up like leather the first few days! These are a great purchase. I've only worn them a couple times, though. I can see how some people said that the leather stretches with wear - they were tight around my calves the first wear, and now they are a liiiittttle loose at the calve. So buy your true size. ALSO, to my fat-calved brethren out there: These boots will fit. you can make the leather stretch AND there is an adjustable strap. If any boot will fit your calf, this one will. I'm 5'10 and got these bad boys to fit mine, so have at it !"

Fabulous boots!
"I searched high and low for a pair of brown riding boots with fairly narrow shafts (including stores, numerous websites, etc.). These fit the bill perfectly! They look great with skinny jeans and I am sure I will wear them with skirts and dresses, too. They look and feel like very expensive boots and I am sure they will hold up for many seasons."

Beautiful boots!
"These boots are very nice. They are made in Italy and the leather is very soft. I have bunions so wondered if the medium width would be ok and it is fine - I can feel the leather conforming to my feet as I walk around in then. There is a side zipper for getting boots on and off and helps the ankle look slimmer. On the back of the calf, there is an adjustable tab in case your calves are abit larger or your pants are abit bulkier when tucked in. Also, they are light in weight (not heavy lined) which is perfect for southern climates."

If you've never made spring rolls before, you'll get a feel for how long to dip the rice paper wrappers, as you make a few. Dipping the wrappers for too short a time means they won't bend and roll easily around the filling; too long and they become a sticky, wrinkle up and won't lay flat for filling. As the water cools, they will require a few more seconds to soak to soften them.
Wear gloves when cutting the chile to prevent the capsaicin (the chemical which makes chiles have their heat) from burning your fingers.

Group: Giverny
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Arm of the Seine near Giverny at sunrise
Date Made: 1896-97
Lender: Hiroshima Museum of Art
In Arm of the Seine near Giverny at sunrise the decorative silhouettes and rich colours of dawn light on the still river suggest Japanese art without referring to any specific precedent. The association is more one of mood, of that sense of a fragile, transient moment — here the moment when the mists rise from the water and the forms of the world begin to take shape. Mist and clouds are characteristic features of Japanese painting, whether in literati landscapes or the backgounds of screen paintings. But Monet's mists were intensely coloured — in this painting the mist is tinted with iridescent violets and vermilions which recall the Goncourts' description of the first prints they bought — having 'colours as subtle as plumage, as brilliant as enamels'.

|In response to Re: fill valve repair/replacement for an old toilet
: Those numbers are the Sears model so their parts or online service may be able to find the parts. The parts should be the same as a Universal Rundle toilet, but the raised shelf means that it might also be a Briggs or Case. In any case, parts are available for all three, although they are quite pricey.
: : I have a one piece (I think that it is referred to as a low-boy) that haas a leaking fill valve. The fill valve is not what I am used to looking at. It is brass (as are all the guts excepting the float) and seems to be mouted on a part of the tank that is elevated, like sort of a shelf. I have tinlered wiht the valuve before,trying to replace the interior of the valve but these repairs haven't lasted, it starts to ruin after a few months. I think that my major problem aside from my plumbing skills is that I can't identify the the maker of the tiolet. The year 1968 is embossed in the porcelin and Sears is the name on the toilet. Obviously Sears doesn't make toilets, I don't think. The Model # is 738 49245. I would love to repair this toilet rather than send it to the dump.
: : Can anyone help me out? Does someone make a replacement fill valve? If so, how do i identify the toile to get the proper part(s)?
: : Thanks in advance for your help

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 48:17-49:4
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. O that you had hearkened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me."
Go forth from Babylon, flee from Chaldea, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it forth to the end of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!" They thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he cleft the rock and the water gushed out. "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
Listen to me, O coastlands, and hearken, you peoples from afar. The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified." But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God."

Nneka Ogwumike gets ready for wild ride
This season, espnW is spending time with the Stanford Cardinal and Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer, getting behind-the-scenes access to the players. Come to espnW every Friday throughout the season to get to know the Cardinal and how they live their lives on and off the court, from the start of practice to the final game of the season in March and, perhaps, into April.
There are moving boxes in Nneka Ogwumike's off-campus apartment.
They are empty boxes, but at least they made it through the front door.
The next few weeks will be a whirlwind for the Stanford senior All-American, a head-spinning routine that has become familiar to the nation's top women's basketball players. Only a matter of days will pass for some between the end of their college careers at the Final Four in Denver and the beginning of their professional careers in the WNBA. The draft is April 16.
In the meantime, in Ogwumike's case, she needs to finish her final four classes for the winter quarter, select an agent and, oh yeah, lead her team to a run for the national championship.
But first things first: packing up the off-campus apartment she shares with one of the players from the Stanford softball team.
"When we leave for the Final Four, I will have to be moved out of my place," Ogwumike said.
Beforehand, she will play in this week's Pac-12 tournament in Los Angeles and, in theory, four rounds of the NCAA tournament. Her belongings probably will go into storage until she determines where she will be living. If she is the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, as expected, she will be selected by the Los Angeles Sparks.
"I have it in the back of my mind that I need to start packing, but I am focusing on my finals," Ogwumike said. "I am actually not too nostalgic about it yet. I'm mostly feeling like, 'Cool.' I have a checklist of things I need to get done in order to wrap things up."
Ogwumike will not return to Stanford as a student when the basketball season ends. In contrast to some of her previously drafted teammates who had to come back after their WNBA seasons to finish up a class or two, Ogwumike will have completed all of her classes.
She is taking three psychology classes this quarter -- Abnormal Psychology, Community Health Psychology and Longevity -- and one research course to complete the work in her major and earn her degree.
The week of the NCAA regional round is finals week at Stanford for the winter quarter. She will take finals in three of her last four classes -- at least one of them likely on the road, proctored by a school official -- and call it a college education.
Thus far, Ogwumike hasn't been involved in the search for an agent to represent her as a professional athlete. It is against the rules for her to have contact, so her parents, Ify and Peter, are taking care of it until her season is over.
After that, she will have approximately two weeks to prepare for the draft.
"My parents have dealt with that completely," Ogwumike said. "They've met a couple of people, I think, but I'm not supposed to be involved with that yet. Everything is going through my parents."
The reality is that Ogwumike, as of Friday, could have as many as eight games left in her college career, but she's guaranteed only two -- one in the conference tournament and another in the NCAA tournament. Extending the schedule is up to the Cardinal, who look as if they are hitting a groove and getting healthier in time for the final chapter of the season, with Sarah Boothe (foot) and freshman Taylor Greenfield (hamstring) back on the court.
Ogwumike's packing is going to have to wait a few more days while she takes care of her basketball business.
She and her teammates made their way to Los Angeles for the conference tournament on Wednesday, finishing classes on campus early in the day and then boarding their flight in San Francisco, a journey that turned out to be more than an hour behind schedule after their original flight was canceled.
The Cardinal players go from the flight to the bus at LAX directly to practice at the Galen Center on the USC campus, working out on the floor above where the first two rounds of the Pac-12 women's tournament is being held.
The players file in to start practice nearly 90 minutes late.
Junior Joslyn Tinkle asks sports information director Aaron Juarez to keep track of the Big Sky tournament championship game, where Montana -- coached by her father, Wayne Tinkle -- is playing for the title.
Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike talk over the logistics of Thursday night's television appearance at the men's tournament at Staples Center, where they are scheduled to be halftime guests.
Senior Lindy La Rocque gets her hair braided by strength coach Susan Borchardt, a job Nneka often does.
Practice is mostly a low-key walk-through, going over the offensive and defensive game plans for the Pac-12 tournament.
Midway through practice, Juarez shouts out that the men's team is up 35-19 in its Pac-12 tournament opener, and a few cheers go up. The players break for a quick drink before starting their conditioning regimen with Borchardt.
"It must be March if I see you over there," said assistant coach Kate Paye, pointing at coach Tara VanDerveer's sister Heidi, in the gym to watch practice. Heidi VanDerveer is the coach at Occidental College near Pasadena and a postseason fixture for the Cardinal.
As practice winds down, Juarez slides his laptop in front of Tinkle so she can check the box score of her dad's game, a couple of teammates joining her for a look.
And team director of operations Eileen Roche hands out the snack bags provided by the conference for the bus ride back to the hotel.
"What's for dinner?" La Rocque asked, trying to decide how much of her snack bag she'll eat.
Chiney Ogwumike, meanwhile, takes a moment to ponder what life will be like without her big sister around in just a few weeks. They might never play on the same team again after this season.
"I'm so excited for her because I think she's going to get to do so many great things, but it's a little scary. It's the end of something I've been used to since I was 10 years old," Chiney said. "But I felt the same way when she graduated high school, and I'm kind of excited to see what comes next."
The sisters do not live together. But Chiney anticipates she is going to be asked to help with the packing.
"She said I'm inheriting a lot of her stuff," Chiney said. "I might get some of her furniture, maybe a futon. I think she's going to give me a lot of her clothes. But I'm not sure if I have room for everything."Video courtesy of the Cardinal Channel

Customer Reviews
Comments: Absolutely love this craw! Rigged it up on a 1/4 ounce jig head & started flipping & the fish killed it! looks extremely life-like in the water. I have it in Okeechobee craw & green pumpkin and they seem to like the Okeechobee craw color better in the stained water I fish. The only disadvantage is that the claws rip off very easily. I normally can't catch more than three fish before I have to put on a new one. However it catches fish so definitely pick up a bag!
From: Mason: Harris County, GA 5/12/15
Comments: This absolutely catch fish! Best jig trailer I have used in awhile. My favorite jigs to use these with are the Berkley Gripper Jig or Manns Stone Jig. Sometimes I dip the claws in Dip and Glow.
From: Wyatt: New Jersey 8/20/14
Comments: Broke out the Fight'n Bug for the 1st time yesterday. 60 Degree water temps; bass cruising the shallows. They wouldn't touch a swim bait, wouldn't touch a stick worm etc; so I tied on a Texas Rigged Fight'n Bug. In about 20 minutes I had 6 Bass on and lost another 3. Not only did those bass hit those soft crayfish they inhaled them. No hesitation; all I had to do was cast out in front of the cruisers and they raced over to the bait and crushed it. The only reason I missed three was because I could visibly see them take it and hit back too soon on two of them. The 3rd missed Bass happened while reeling in; that brave soul came out and hit the bait as I was pulling it out of the water. First impression of this bait; it saved the day. Great action crawling/hopping across the bottom. Great sized bait; not sure a larger bait would have worked on those small male Bass. GREAT BAIT; glad I purchased them (bought 10 packs back in February). I was only using the Okeechobee Craw color. LOVE IT!

The Highlands Ranch Community Association finance committee has approved what would be the largest assessment increase since 2003 if it is approved this November by the HRCA's delegate body and board of directors.
The committee voted 8-2 at last week's board working session — with unanimous, yet unofficial support, from the HRCA board of directors — to approve a budget that would increase assessments 6.3 percent, raising the bill for residents $32, or $2.67 per month, to $540 annually.
"Nobody likes to raise assessments, but if you look at this organization and where it is at in its life cycle, we have been scrubbing (the budget for) the last three years," said board chairman Scott Lemmon. "We can't continue to run this operation handcuffed. People come to Highlands Ranch and spend a lot of money on houses and they do that because of what we give them.
"I am afraid if we don't do an assessment increase of this scale we will be woefully behind, more behind than we are today. We can't just keep fixing things. We need to start saving for our capital improvements."
Finance committee chairman and board member Jeff Suntken said he would have liked to have seen a larger increase in order to meet the needs of the community and stated there was a lot of compromise in agreeing on the proposed budget.
One of those compromises was agreeing not to hire any new staff with assessment dollars in 2014. Another was creating a $250,000 capital improvement fund to support the five-year plan, rather than opening the fund with $500,000 instead.
"If I am still in this position next year, and I may not be, I will probably fight for another assessment increase," Suntken said. "We have been maintaining for far too long. We need to start improving."
HRCA controller Harry Daughters presented the proposed budget at the Oct. 7 board working session prior to the finance committee voting on it, and said he expects to see decreases in general insurance rates and bad debt provisions, as well as in printing and postage costs due to changes the organization has made in switching over to e-billing.
Utility usage is expected to decline due to the implementation of the energy savings initiative, but the organization is still bracing for expected increases in natural gas prices, electricity costs and water costs. They hope to offset some of those costs with a slight reduction in operating hours at some of the recreation centers on weekends.
Also of note, staff salary increases are proposed at 3 percent and insurance costs are expected to go up 5.1 percent.
The budget is scheduled to be discussed with the delegate body Oct. 15 at the monthly delegate meeting and will be voted on in November. The proposed budget is available in its entirety at www.hrcaonline.org.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.
-- Kayla McBride got No. 2 Notre Dame going early by hitting her first four shots and stopped seventh-ranked Duke's rally late by hitting back-to-back baskets.
In between, McBride did a lot of little things right, such as grabbing seven rebounds, handing out four assists and jumping out of the way when
Haley Peters
, trapped in the corner, tried to get out of trouble by bouncing the ball off of McBride out of bounds, forcing another Duke turnover.
McBride finished with a career-high 31 points to pace Notre Dame to an 81-70 victory Sunday, giving the Fighting Irish the Atlantic Coast Conference title in its inaugural season in the league.
"We definitely enjoyed that," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said of beating the defending conference champion Blue Devils.
McBride is a huge reason why the Irish (27-0, 14-0 ACC) are still unbeaten.
"Kayla McBride was outstanding again today," McGraw said. "She's had a phenomenal year, but 31 points, she was just amazing. She was unstoppable."
McBride was 6-of-9 shooting in the first half and finished 13-of-25 for the game. The Irish (27-0, 14-0 ACC), who never trailed in beating the Blue Devils 88-67 earlier this month, giving the Blue Devils their first ACC loss at home since 2008, opened a 20-2 lead early on Sunday.
The Irish started the game by making 8-of-13 shots while holding Duke to 1-of-10 shooting with eight turnovers and eventually extended the lead 46-26 on a jumper by McBride with 32 seconds left in the first half.
McBride said the Irish had a lot of energy at the start.
"We were hitting shots. We were getting stops on defense. We were getting in transition," she said. "I think we were just having fun."
Elizabeth Williams
, who led Duke with 20, said Duke made too many mistakes at the start.
"We took some bad shots, some quick shots, which fueled their transition," she said. "We just need to learn to be more patient early."
The Blue Devils scored six points in the final 7 seconds of the first half and eventually cut the lead to seven points on a driving layup by
Alexis Jones
with 11:50 left, but Jones injured her left knee and didn't return. Coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said the initial diagnosis is a sprained knee, but said more tests are needed.
She said losing Jones hurt.
"Notre Dame is a great team. You don't know what would have happened from there. But I guess I wish I could have seen it," McCallie said. "She's an All-American candidate, a super sophomore and obviously we were a different team when she was gone."
The Blue Devils (24-4, 11-3) cut the lead to seven points twice more, the final time when
Kendall McCravey-Cooper
hit a jumper to make it 66-59. But McBride answered with back-to-back baskets, one inside, the other a 3-pointer to spark an 8-0 run that put the game away.
McGraw said what makes McBride so impressive is her ability to play every position.
"She's so versatile, she can do so many things and she's so incredibly coachable," McGraw said.
Jewell Loyd, who added 21 points Notre Dame, said the Irish expect McBride to hit her shots.
"She's money. Kayla McBride is money," she said. "Every time she shoots, I think it's going in. So it's fun to be right."
Jones finished with 15 and
Richa Jackson
added 11. Williams and Jackson had six rebounds each.
McGraw was pleased with the way Loyd defended Duke's leading scorer
Tricia Liston
, holding her to nine points, less than half her average of 18.4 points a game.
"I was focused on defense and not letting her get any easy touches," Loyd said.

Coyote Ugly; Canucks Fall to Phoenix By A Score of 4-2: Recap and Chance Data
Dimitri Filipovic
February 27 2013 12:37AM
You just felt like you were being punched in the face while watching this game; Dale Weise actually did.
In what was the first game back home following an uneven road trip, the Vancouver Canucks fell to the Phoenix Coyotes by a score of 4-2. We all know what type of game the Yotes like to play; a low-event, risk-free brand of hockey. Given the way their roster is assembled, it's a necessity for them if they have any hope of succeeding.
What we saw on Tuesday night was what will often happen when the other team obliges them in playing that sort of game, succumbing to their style. I'll give you a hint: it's not pretty.
Read on Past the Jump for Scoring Chance Data, and Analysis.
Let me start off by saying that while there's no doubting the fact that this game made for terrible television, I am in no way complaining about having "had" to watch it. It's a big pet peeve of mine when I look at my Twitter timeline and see beat writers throwing themselves a pity party (though Minnesota Wild-Calgary Flames games usually justify it). I view it as a pretty darn awesome privilege that we get to watch hockey, write about it, and hopefully have our work spark an intelligent discussion amongst our readers. I'm never going to be genuinely bitter about spending a few hours watching a hockey game. I may make a joke about it, but I won't actually mean it.
With all that being said, this was quite the snoozer. In total there were 19 scoring chances, and only 10 of those came in the final 40 minutes. I had a fellow Army compadre of mine - fine, it was Patrick Johnston, now stop badgering me! - message me during the 1st intermission wondering if there were even 5 total chances in the opening 20. He said he was bored. And somehow, as it progressed, the game went downhill from there.
The Canucks got lucky on an early Coyotes man advantage, as Cory Schneider (along with his trusty friend, the post) foiled what were two grade-A for the opposition. Unfortunately, when you keep sending Andrew Alberts out onto the ice, you tend to push your luck. The first goal of the game came on a play where a combination of matador defense by Alberts and Ballard, and a beautifully executed pick and roll by
Steve Nash and A'mare Stoudemire Phoenix freed Kyle Chipchura up for the easiest goal of his life (other than, you know, his empty netter that sealed it).
Andrew Alberts was really bad tonight. I'm not trying to make him into the scapegoat with the usual casualty currently on the shelf, but man, he's not good. However, he did have 2 blocked shots and 2 hits, so hey, he must be gritty.
Speaking of grit, toughness, and heart, how about that Shane Doan? He logged 16:43, was on the ice for a goal against, and had no points or shots on goal to his name. I actually forgot that he was playing in this game, until I looked on my timeline and was reminded of that dreadful #doaner hashtag. I'm sure he's not too upset about not being that all that good anymore, though, because he has 21.2 million reasons to smile.
I thought that the Canucks outplayed the Coyotes rather thoroughly in the 2nd frame, even if the chance totals didn't necessarily reflect it. They were dangerous, and they were clearly the better team. Yet sometimes in hockey, the puck takes funny bounces and weird things happen as a result. That was the case on the Yotes 2nd goal, as a ridiculous bounce off of Max Lapierre went right to Mikkel Boedker. To be fair, the wicked wrister that followed was worthy of a goal.
I thought that Jason Garrison played one of his better games of the season in this one. It's probably not a coincidence that it came with his move to the right-side, where he found so much success last season. He still seems a little gun shy occasionally, and that split second of hesitation is getting him into trouble. But I was a big fan of the patience he showed on his 3rd goal of the season; instead of putting his head down and firing the puck as hard as he could into a defender's shin pads, he waited for the shooting lane to open before releasing. And while he's known for his cannon from the point, this time around he took a little something off of the shot to ensure it got through. It was a nice adjustment from the bearded one, who clearly showed that the confidence gained from winning an Oscar translates onto the ice, too.
The following are my notes on the goal that made it 3-1, and you'll notice that they are fairly succint: "Edler.. ugh." Hard to blame him though, because stopping someone from waltzing right around you en route to a goal is so last year. Get with the times, guys.
My final note on this game will be on the referees, who weren't very good. The Canucks were hurt on a few different occasions by the decision-making that came from the zebras. The "diving" penalty on Daniel in the 2nd period was horrendous, and simply wrong. I don't know what else to say except that it wasn't the right call. The same goes for seemingly everything that had to do with Alex Burrows, as I marked down two different instances where he was clearly interfered with, and that's not including the time he was punched in the face.
I thought the Canucks were the better team (even if just by a small margin) on this night, so they definitely could have won, but I don't think that the reason they lost was because of the officiating. That's such a lame excuse. Maybe they should have played a little bit better.
There are some positives to be taken from this, though, because at least the Canucks get three full days off now. This will allow us to dissect the team to death in a misguided attempt to figure out what's wrong with them. Oh, wait. That's not a positive at all..
Scoring Chance Data
A reminder for those of you new to reading our site: a scoring chance is counted any time a team directs a shot cleanly on-net from within home-plate (here's an image of "home-plate"; so you can get a visual definition). Shots on goal and misses are counted, but blocked shots are not (unless the player who blocks the shot is "acting like a goaltender"). Generally speaking, we are more generous with the boundaries of home-plate if there is dangerous puck movement immediately preceding the scoring chance, or if the scoring chance is screened.
Here's the total scoring chance data:
|1st Period
|2nd Period
|3rd Period
|Coyotes (EV)
|5 (3)
|2 (2)
|2 (2)
|9 (7)
|Canucks (EV)
|4 (3)
|3 (3)
|3 (3)
|10 (9)
And here's the individual chance data for the Canucks skaters:
|Chances Taken
|Chances Assisted
|Chances Total
|Dan Hamhuis
|Daniel Sedin
|Henrik Sedin
|Chris Higgins
|Jannik Hansen
|Ryan Kesler
|Max Lapierre
|David Booth
|Andrew Alberts
|Jason Garrison
|Alex Burrows
Dimitri (or any other fancy stats gurus), what percentage of scoring chances actually score over the course of a season?
For regular shots, I believe its around 9% roughly if you look at the entire league over a season.
I'd hazard a guess that a scoring chance probably has a 25% chance of actually translating to a goal, is that close?
I invested some time in this game as well. Thankful for the excellent single malt in hand.
By all appearances the diving reputation held sway on the refs in this one. It would be to the nucks benefit to begin a campaign promoting their reformation in this regard but alas.... a buy in from the players then becomes mandatory.
Quite a few under whelming offerings from the lads last night. Goalie wasn't great, edler going Pilon was addressed, thought Kassian was doing his best Doan impersonation, Kessler had various degrees of total indifference.
they just didn't have it.
Very small sample size but we have known for some time that Kevin Bieksa is the head of the snake. They are not good without him.

How in the holy hell can they justify only trying out Garrison on the right side NOW, when he's clearly very comfortable there? Having Edler on the right side has been a disaster (maybe not in terms of the raw stats, but certainly in terms of 'ugly' scoring chances for the opposition).
Like, I don't want to fire AV or anything, but man has our defensive coaching been bad this season.

Bowness handles the d-men. How do we know it's not his work?
Presumably because Vigneault is aware of what Bowness is doing, and the buck stops there? If Bowness has gone incompetently rogue, then fire him! But as it stands, the status quo is totally unacceptable.
It took us HOW many damned games before we tried Garrison on the right?

Video: Garth Brooks bids farewell to Jay Leno with "The Dance"
Garth Brooks joined Oprah Winfrey and Billy Crystal on Thursday (2/6) for an emotional goodbye to Jay Leno as host of the "Tonight Show." Brooks called Leno "the greatest friend to entertainment" before easing into his 1990 hit, "The Dance."
In introducing Brooks, Leno noted that an additional two shows at Dublin's Croke Park stadium were put on sale this weekly and promptly sold out, bringing his total shows in the country to five.
The ticket volume on those five shows is a staggering 400,000. Brooks hasn't formally toured since announcing a semi-retirement in 2001 to stay at home while his children made their way through grade and high school.

On the job less than two months, both the county's new elections manager and clerk and recorder say they are prepared for this year's vote, which begins in earnest this week when ballots are mailed out.
"It's been a challenge," said Dallas Schroeder, who was appointed Elbert County's new clerk and recorder in early September. "I'm learning something new every day. But it's making more and more sense and I feel ready for this election."
Sherry McNeil, the county's new elections manager, who started just a week before Schroeder on Sept. 1, echoed the clerk's confidence.
"We are absolutely where we need to be" in terms of preparing for the election, McNeil said. "Jumping in right before major deadlines" has been the biggest challenge, she added, "but we've managed to get through it so far."
Ballots will be mailed Oct. 18 to the county's 18,000 registered voters.
In 2012, nearly 80 percent of eligible voters in the county cast a ballot. Officials believe this year's turnout will likely not be as high because it is not a presidential election.
Two of the most controversial issues on the ballot this year are:
• Ballot Issue 1C, a proposed mill levy increase of up to four mills, put forth by commissioners to stabilize the county's depleted coffers;
• Ballot Issue 1B, a proposed repeal of a machine and tool tax exemption for energy producers operating in the county, a measure also envisioned to boost county revenues.
Both Schroeder and McNeil spent the better part of last week in El Paso County being trained by election officials there. McNeil has had previous experience with managing elections. Before being hired by the county, she worked for a number of years in the Elections Division of the Colorado Secretary of State's Office in Denver.
Recent passage by the Colorado Legislature of House Bill 13-1303 made changes to the way local elections are conducted around the state. The biggest changes, said McNeil, involve conducting most elections through mail-in ballots and setting up a specific number of Voter Service and Polling Centers — known as VSPCs — in each county depending on its population.
"Because of our relatively small number of residents, Elbert County only needs to have one VSPC," said McNeil. "That will be located here in Kiowa in the courthouse."
McNeil said HB 13-1303 also allows voters to register to vote right up through Election Day.
"We have a computer system set up to check to make sure those who register at the last minute are eligible to vote," said Schroeder. "In the last few weeks, there's been a lot of time and effort into getting trained."
Early voting starts Oct. 21 this year and McNeil plans to do nightly preliminary tallies right through Election Day.
In order to be counted, ballots must be received by the election office by 7 p.m. on Nov. 5, she said.
Voters can mail in their ballots or drop them off at the courthouse in Kiowa.
There will be a second drop-off location for ballots set up at the public library in Elizabeth.
And for those who still prefer to vote the old-fashioned way, Schroeder said a touch-screen voting machine will be available at the county courthouse. "Voters can come in and surrender their mail-in ballots and vote using the touch-screen machine," he said.
Schroeder added that provisions will also be made at the courthouse "to accommodate hearing- and sight-impaired voters who wish to cast their ballots in person."
McNeil said that she expects to be able to announce preliminary election results later in the evening on Nov. 5.
Certified results must be reported to the Secretary of State's Office by Nov. 25.

Cute Sandal
"This sandal fit well, very true to size. The leather makes the sandal a bit stiff the first few days you wear them, especially around the toe. Like with any shoe, they just need to be worn in until they're a comfortable fit. I was also happier with them when they arrived than in the picture, which is always a pleasant surprise!"

"The beading is really cute. I got these in a neutral color. I don't recommend wear these for an extended amount of walking because the bottoms are not soft at all. My heels began to hurt after a while."

So bummed!
"I was so excited to receive these sandals and when they finally arrived I couldn't get them out of the box and on my feet fast enough, but sadly they were too small and the sole didn't naturally line up under my foot. I found that when I walked my heel would be half off the sole and actually on the ground! Maybe I got a defective pair or it's a design flaw, not sure but either way I was very sad to send them back because they were beautiful."

In Defense of Neo-Nazi Music
In the past few days, in the wake of the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin, the national media has once again begun to blame a crime on art. On Sunday, police discovered that Wade Page, the skinhead who stormed into the Oak Creek temple that afternoon and killed six people before killing himself, was once in a white-power band called End Apathy.
Page's band wasn't very good or well-known, but in the hours since his attack, it's been a horse race to see which national media outlet can scrutinize the dangers of white-power music the most.
Speaking to a Reuters reporter, Arno Michaels, founder of anti-racist online magazine Life After Hate, called white-power music "an active practice of hatred and violence." "If you are playing white power music," he went on,
you are learning how to hate people and you are practicing emotional violence against them. Tragically, what happened on Sunday was the logical conclusion of this hate and violence.
The Paper of Record also went big on the denunciation of Nazi music, running the headline, "Wisconsin Killer Fed and Was Fueled By Hate-Driven Music," the day after the shooting. Today, they've followed up that piece with an op-ed column called "The Sound of Hate." In it, Robert Futrell, a sociology professor, and Pete Simi, a criminal justice professor, argue that neo-Nazi music culture provides venues and reasons for skinheads to gather and fulminate against their perceived enemies. The duo calls these gatherings "hidden spaces of hate."
"Law enforcement and anti-racist activists should pay close attention to the [music] scene as a motivating force for hate crime because when extremist ideas endure, so does the potential for extremist actions," they warn. "We should not be surprised when other neo-Nazis follow suit, because potent inspiration for violence continues to percolate in white power music's hidden spaces of hate."
I tried to find some End Apathy lyrics for this story, but by the time I went looking the band's MySpace page had been scrubbed away. So I found the next best thing: lyrics from a band called the Blue-Eyed Devils, a defunct "hatecore" group that for years helped cultivate the kind of "spaces of hate" Futrell and Simi talk about. This is from the song "Murder Squad":
Traitors are hung and others shot dead
Kill the Jew and cut off his head
Destroy the enemy and his lies
Send the filth to an early demise
It's the same routine day to day
Murder anyone who gets in our way
A cleansing wind throughout this land
The final solution, the final stand
My orders are simple, plain and clear
Murder on command and have no fear
In my heart I know what's right
To do what I must for my nation's fight
I listened to "Murder Squad"—twice, actually—on a Nazi website I found, and I can't say I liked it very much. Besides the ultra-racist lyrics, the music is awful and the production worse. It sounds like it was recorded in a teenager's bedroom. In the end, it was no "Dead Wrong."
In deference to the uninitiated, "Dead Wrong" is a song from the Notorious B.I.G.'s posthumous third record, Born Again. It features a guest verse from Eminem, and is easily one of the most violent mainstream rap songs of recent memory. Some sample verses:
Tears don't affect me, I hit 'em with the Tech, G
Disrespect me, my potency is deadly
I'm shootin' babies, no ifs, ands or maybes
Hit mummy in the tummy if the hooker plays a dummy
Slit the wrist of little sis, after she sucked the dick
I stabbed her brother with the icepick
Because he wanted me to fuck him from the back
But Smalls don't get down like that
Caught your father hidin' in a room, fucked him with the broom
Slit him down the back and threw salt in the wound
Who you think you're dealin' with?
Anybody steppin' in my path is fuckin' feelin' it
Basically, "Dead Wrong" is the kind of brutal, ugly, hyper-misogynistic stuff my mom was always worried I was listening to when I lied and said my rap records weren't that bad—and I love it. I love it so much, in fact, that I was able to come up with most of those verses above from memory. The college I went to was in a very small town in Virginia, and often, to get away from campus, I would borrow my roommate Will's Jeep Grand Cherokee, which had the loudest speakers of all my friends' cars, and drive around running errands. Will's shake-the-rear-view speakers were an important element of those drives, as none were complete until we played some rap music very loudly with the windows down, an act I consider to this day to be an invaluable part of my childhood. The song selection was much what you'd expect from young men in the early aughts—"In da Club," "Ain't No Fun," etc.—but we always seemed to come back to one particular track that my friend Andrew could scream word-for-word: "Dead Wrong."
I've been thinking about "Dead Wrong" a lot lately while reading the breathless, alarmist inveighs against white-power music. Like many coastal liberals, I find all forms of bigotry grotesque, and thus I find songs like "Murder Squad " grotesque. But I must also acknowledge the hypocrisy of thinking neo-Nazi bands are unlistenable garbage while not thinking at all about putting onto my iPod "Dead Wrong." Or playing "Gimme That Nut," Eazy-E's infamous anti-woman anthem, at a house party. Or playing on a bar's jukebox my favorite Misfits song, "Last Caress," the opening line of which is, "I got something to say, I killed a baby today, and it doesn't matter much to me as long as it's dead." After that, Danzig, the lead singer, says he raped your mom.
I've listened to that and other violent Misfits songs hundreds of times in my life, even as a teenager, before my brain was done developing, and yet I've never raped or killed anyone. Nor did "Dead Wrong" ever make me interested in the idea of sodomizing a man with a broom, slicing open his skin, then torturing him by putting salt in his gaping wounds. For all its disgusting chaos and carnage, it was just a song my friends and I rapped on the way to the Mexican buffet near our house.
People like Futrell and Simi try to avoid sounding like the neo-Tipper Gores that they are by not condemning the neo-Nazi music itself and instead saying that it's the culture around the music that's dangerous. It's the "spaces of hate" they're after, they say, not the art. But then they expose their anti-free speech leanings by finger-wagging and threatening that we shouldn't be surprised if another white-power maniac kills people thanks to this hateful music scene. That—and I'm so glad I work at Gawker now so I can say this—is a total crock of shit.
To follow Futrell and Simi's logic, let's fight drug culture by cancelling the Electric Daisy Carnival, a massive electronic music festival that's become as synonymous with MDMA as it has dubstep. Let's also cut down on drunk driving by banning football games, at which tailgaters young and old get blotto all day before getting in their SUVs and driving home. And, of course, let's eliminate violence in the inner city by totally banishing hip-hop from our nation, which, as Tipper and her ilk argued for years, is the real reason young black men kill each other at heartbreaking rates.
I'd be remiss if I didn't note that there are studies [PDF] that show a correlation between violent music and aggressive behavior. But there is a Grand Canyon-sized gulf between "aggressive behavior" and going on a killing spree. Neo-Nazi punk rock may not be an art form in which you choose to indulge, but trying to pretend that it's not art, or that it should be banned or cracked down upon because it's dangerous, is almost always going to be the wrong course of action. Because the truth is that thousands and thousands of people just like Wade Page have for decades been listening to the same kind of hatecore he enjoyed, and yet very few of them have done what he did. In the same vein, neither will most Marilyn Manson fans go on a shooting rampage like that of his late fans Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who executed a host of their classmates at Columbine High School.
Over the past few days, Wade Page's friends and family have shed some light on his recent history: Page was an alcoholic who was discharged from the military in 2001 for showing up to a formation drunk. He was then fired from a trucking job in 2010 because he got arrested for a DUI. After that, he found work hard to come by, and the bank foreclosed on his house in January of this year. By then he was 40 and living with no money, no job, no family, and few ways to escape his alcoholic haze. It would certainly be tidy to say that the music made Page do it, but that neglects to acknowledge that hate, rage, and the eagerness to implode are also emotions every broke alcoholic probably feels, neo-Nazi or no. Interestingly, End Apathy put out one record before Page died. It was called Self Destruct.

The Justice Based After-School (JBAS) pilot program is another way the COPS Office is helping local law enforcement reach out to America's youth. JBAS advances community policing through collaborative crime prevention programs. It encourages police agencies and community-based organizations to work together to develop high-quality after-school programs. The primary goal of the program is to develop a preventive approach to juvenile crime and victimization (especially in high-crime neighborhoods) and to improve the overall quality of life in these neighborhoods. Additionally, these programs serve as training and technical assistance models for other law enforcement agencies and communities that wish to implement similar programs.
Since the program debuted in 2000, a small number of pilot sites received almost $3 million in JBAS grants to help local law enforcement agencies partner with community-based organizations to develop after-school programs. Each pilot program targets specific community needs, which include mentoring, tutoring, vocational and on-the-job training, and recreational activities that allow youth to interact with law enforcement professionals on a personal level.
The Indianapolis Police Department teamed with four community agencies to provide educational programming, life-skills tutoring, recreational activities, mentoring, and college/vocational skill building. In Lawrence, Massachusetts, a partnership called Project Hope provides recreational and educational services for at-risk youth. Those services include a portable computer resource center, recreational opportunities, life-skills training, and an opportunity for positive interaction between youth, community members law enforcement, and others in criminal justice. The Minneapolis Police Department used its COPS funds to expand an existing Police Athletic League (PAL) project to two new sites. COPS funds also helped implement new academic programs, expand tutorial programs, expand athletic programs, and purchase new equipment. Missouri's Kansas City Police Department augmented two existing after-school centers and started a new one. These three centers target youth in high crime, low-income neighborhoods. Tutorial and homework assistance programs have been significantly expanded at all three sites. Oregon's Portland Police Bureau expanded the hours of its existing Police Activities League (PAL) program and introduced after-school programming to 11 additional sites. And Stamford, Connecticut expanded an existing program to stay open year-round and for longer hours, expand its range of activities, serve more children, and partner with local law enforcement. Expanded activities include a computer lab, homework hour, specialized tutoring, team sports, community volunteer projects, and information on life skills.
JBAS programs give students a healthy atmosphere in which to spend the hours when they are most likely to be unsupervised, and therefore likely to engage in or be victimized by illegal activities. The programs increase law enforcement presence in at-risk neighborhoods, which also contributes to a healthier environment. Most importantly, JBAS programs give officers the opportunity to build lasting relationships with students, which can change their perceptions of law enforcement for a lifetime. COPS' JBAS program is helping local law enforcement reclaim America's youth, one student at a time.
COPS awarded JBAS grants in 2000 and 2001. As part of this project, several important materials will be produced and posted on the COPS website. The first is a How-To manual that will be a resource guide for communities across the country that wish to start and sustain their own youth programs. This will be a ground-level guide covering every aspect of these programs, including such topics as hiring staff, developing programs and budgets, and the role of law enforcement. In addition, the guide will include chapter management guidelines, activity-based youth curriculum, information about other programs that have proven effective, and general resource information.
COPS will also produce and post to this website a comprehensive training curriculum. This will provide officers and community members with information on understanding youth and adolescent psychology, group and organizational dynamics, supervisory and management concepts, communication skills, child management strategies, and tips on maximizing the developmental benefits of recreational and athletic activities. COPS also funded an evaluation of the current program.

Skip to comments.Craig Arrested, Pleads Guilty Following Incident in Airport Restroom
Posted on 08/27/2007 2:14:41 PM PDT by Shermy
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a mens public restroom, according to an arrest report obtained by Roll Call Monday afternoon.
Craigs arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8.
A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a he said/he said misunderstanding, and said the office would release a fuller statement later Monday afternoon.
After he was arrested, Craig, who is married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police report. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, What do you think about that? the report states.
Craig was detained for approximately 45 minutes, interviewed, photographed, fingerprinted and released, and police prepared a formal complaint for interference with privacy and disorderly conduct.
According to the incident report, Sgt. Dave Karsnia was working as a plainclothes officer on June 11 investigating civilian complaints regarding sexual activity in the mens public restroom in which Craig was arrested.
Airport police previously had made numerous arrests in the mens restroom of the Northstar Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal in connection with sexual activity.
Karsnia entered the bathroom at noon that day and about 13 minutes after taking a seat in a stall, he stated he could see an older white male with grey hair standing outside my stall.
The man, who lingered in front of the stall for two minutes, was later identified as Craig.
I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, fidget with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig would repeat this cycle for about two minutes, the report states.
Craig then entered the stall next to Karsnias and placed his roller bag against the front of the stall door.
My experience has shown that individuals engaging in lewd conduct use their bags to block the view from the front of their stall, Karsnia stated in his report. From my seated position, I could observe the shoes and ankles of Craig seated to the left of me.
Craig was wearing dress pants with black dress shoes.
At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area, the report states.
Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times, and Karsnia noted in his report that I could ... see Craig had a gold ring on his ring finger as his hand was on my side of the stall divider.
Karsnia then held his police identification down by the floor so that Craig could see it.
With my left hand near the floor, I pointed towards the exit. Craig responded, No! I again pointed towards the exit. Craig exited the stall with his roller bags without flushing the toilet. ... Craig said he would not go. I told Craig that he was under arrest, he had to go, and that I didnt want to make a scene. Craig then left the restroom.
In a recorded interview after his arrest, Craig either disagreed with me or didnt recall the events as they happened, the report states.
Craig stated that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine, the report states. Craig also told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor.
It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper, the arresting officer said in the report.
On Aug. 8, the day he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the Minnesota court, Craig appeared via satellite at a ceremony that took place in Idaho in which former Idaho federal Judge Randy Smith was invested into his new position as a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
In October 2006, Craigs office publicly denied allegations that he was a homosexual made on a gay activist Web site blogactive.com. Craigs office told the Spokane Spokesman-Review that the charge was completely ridiculous, saying that the allegations had no basis in fact.
Steven T. Dennis contributed to this report.
A he said/he said incident ...
I wonder if this cop wasn't aggressively looking to make arrests so the locals can feel like something is been done about the problem. What's most odd is the cop apparently being willing to let Craig go but Craig refused to exit the restroom and was placed under arrest. Sounds to me like that was the conduct which got him arrested not checking a stall to see if the guy who's sat there for 13 minutes is finally done with the facilities!
I wouldn't be surprised if Craig knew the signals or has in fact had homosexual affairs. I don't care. I care about his pompous 'do you know who I am' attitude which I just won't tolerate from public servants. Add in his support for amnesty and he's not worth having around in the Senate gay, straight or just another jerk.
I fear trash are the only ones who will run for office. The others can't get financed or value their privacy too much.
especially Republicans who ought to know 1/2 the universe is gunning for them, think they will never get caught.
A wise elderly friend once told me that the people engaging in the most risky and dangerous activities are the ones who have successfully gotten away with it many times before.
What, exactly, did he do that was illegal?
>>In any case, I doubt he would have been arrested and charged if there was serious doubt as to intent of his actions. While all this hand waving and foot tapping may be unfamiliar to most, I find it hard to believe that a judge would accept such evidence if they weren't well known by law enforcement as signals used by people who engage in such acts.<<
While I don't doubt the cops know the signs I would be surprised if that would have been enough for a conviction.
I could certainly send signs to a girl that I was trying to pick her up without doing anything that would be illegal.
Of course, I don't have a lot of experience with girls who sit in toilets waiting to be picked up like the cop was doing. Maybe there is a whole world I've missed.
He's a cop on the Vice Squad.
Guilty as charged? DU is calling you....go to the dark if you will.
Larry Craig is the Senior Senator from Idaho. He's a senior GOP senator and believe me...this will be big news for the next several nights. Between Gonzales resigning and now this it looks like the GOP is in for another beating.
How about the line about "having a wide stance." Sounds like someone searching for reasonable doubt. Afterall, everyone knows you grab the side walls before you take a wide stance.
Is that a woman or a dairy cow with bad blond dye-job?De gustibus yadda-yadda-yadda.
Put a milking machine on it and stop pretending it's a sex object.
Retaliation for the recent Bob Filner incident at Dulles a few weeks ago.
You know you were wrong!!!!
Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault!
We get what we deserve.
WE continually take people we wouldn't trust to babysit our 7 year-old and send them to Washington expecting integrity?
"maybe it gets lonely in Idaho"
Uh-oh, is this comment going to start up the sheep comments again? ;-)
We all need to keep in mind that this is the American media reporting this affair. Therefore it may or may not be a complete lie. It will take some time before any of us know what actually happened.
Yes, after all these years I have finally come to understand that nothing reported in the media can be taken at face value. Nothing.
Mr. AG BILL himself, Diane Fienstiens buddy. Well, Craig many years ago was a decent rep and then he turned. When one is compromised, well...they're compromised. Shouldn't be a surprise he'd sell out to illegal aliens lobbies as well.
Both should be judged as wrong.
This is not one of those, "if you think I'm ugly, you should see my sister" routines. And do we want Republicans acting like DemocRATS just because?
Lots of nice clean sheep in Idaho, Larry should not have to mess with these Bathroom Bozos//
Which goes to show that it is true.
Obviously, they caught him dead to rights
>>Larry Craig is the Senior Senator from Idaho. He's a senior GOP senator and believe me...this will be big news for the next several nights. Between Gonzales resigning and now this it looks like the GOP is in for another beating.<<
The timing is just unbelievable. Like the way they held the Rumsfeld resignation until AFTER the election where it could have helped.
If the Republicans had been smart they would have been letting the media dig into Dean dissing the largest swing state and "Has Dean gone crazy again?"
But no....
Update: Free Republic has reprinted the Roll Call story. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, What do you think about that? the report states. I think he can probably start throwing away those cards now.
You're naive.
I've wondered that for years. Like Clinton, WHY? He could get a nice hooker that would keep her mouth shut. WHY? It's got to be the risk factor itself. Just what ya want leading your country.
C.L. 'Butch' Otter, R-Gov Idaho, will appoint I wonder who if Craig resigns?
Remember Congressman Bob Bauman from Maryland?
"Seems like a long time to just be sitting there."
13 minutes is nothing for me. That is about the only place I can get any peace and quiet. Al Bundy and I have more than a few things in common.
On another note, while I agree this guy is creepy, what lewd act did he participate in? It does not sound like he actually verbally propositioned the cop. And is trolling a crime? Just a question for any law enforcement/lawyer types out there.
I Cudna just let that scroll by without comment.
(grin) That's a line that deserves a Sonnet...
I am confused. Did he expose himself or just prop someone?
Actually, this is not main-stream media news.... yet.
Just rumors from various bloggers.
I'm still - on record - as a doubter.
But I will say this: Many hot breaking stories start out from the bloggers.
And from Free Republic.
Remember; Rathergate started here on good ol' Free Republic.
But I'm drawing a complete blank on who the illustrious FReeper was that broke that story.
A little help please, anyone?
Good....lets purge these bastards. Get em all out of the GOP.
Guilty as charged? DU is calling you....go to the dark if you will.
You're naive.
Smarten' up!
Are you guys in his district?
Otherwise this loon has nothing to do with me, lol.
LOL!! I hope this clown has the shame to resign immediately.
The GOP doesn't need any Barney Franks.
Craig pushes immigration reform (craig does not learn)
idahostatesman.com ^ | 08/13/2007 | Dan Popkey
Posted on 08/13/2007 10:52:27 AM PDT by bilhosty
Craig pushes immigration reform Senator predicts millions will lose jobs after Social Security crackdown. By Dan Popkey - email@example.com
Edition Date: 08/10/07
Pressure to pass immigration reform will intensify as millions of undocumented workers lose jobs as a result of a crackdown by the Social Security Administration, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, said Thursday.
"What will happen over the course of the next two months is several million workers will be laid off or fired and there is no one to take their place," Craig told the Boise Rotary Club.
I'm inclined to agree. The illegal immigration thing alone might have done it - Craig was not just a vote there, he was an active promoter of shamnesty. He has heavy funding from Big Ag working for him in a state with few other sources of political funding but working against him is a heavily LDS-oriented south (Craig is, IIRC, a Methodist himself) that will not take kindly to this news.
Idaho is not a slam-dunk for a Republican Senatorial seat, BTW - anyone remember Frank Church? If Craig isn't defeated in the primaries I think the Republicans may have a problem.
I have a problem with the story. It says he reached down and the cop saw he was wearing a gold ring. He was in the stall to the left of the cop. The ring. . . if it's a wedding ring, would be on his left hand. The cop would be looking at his right hand.
That denotes at least 1 flaw.
Well, it may not be main stream yet, but it was mentioned briefly by Brit Hume on Fox News tonight. He referenced the source as Roll Call.
It says on Wikipedia that his kids are all adopted, they are all his wifes kids.
To those "in the know"......
What kind of sex can one get in a crowded public restroom by reaching under a stall wall?
Those zany sodomites! haw haw - That sure is an example of normal activity... Why, they're just like heterosexuals, except for all the diseases, dozens of partners each year, and anonymous sex in public bathrooms. I don't see a reason for them not to marry.
I remember him from when he was YAF Chairman during the Goldwater campaign. At the same time Congressman Buz Lukens was the YR chairman. Great minds run in the same circles, hmm?!?
One thing is for sure: the LameStream Media will love exploiting this story.
I don't think that is the kind of hooker he would have been looking for.
It's always difficult to avoid unintentional double entendres when discussing these type of stories. :)
It could be a college ring or something like that worn on his right hand.
We need to all give 'em all pictures of a naked Ricky Martin and the overnight postage stamp test.
OMG!!! Where's his picture???
