POST-GAME: Wins Are Always Bigger in Texas!
Vintage Flame
February 17 2013 08:52PM
So after a terrible game against the Blues, what better team to get back in the saddle against than a team you just beat 7-4, right?
With a ton of changes to the line-up, demotions, waivers and throwing yet another dart at the board for a centre, your Calgary Flames looked to do just exactly that. Though the players might change, the game does not, and if Calgary could manage to replicate what they did four nights ago, they'd be back to .500 and able to justify changes that have had the fans pulling their hair out the last couple days.
Look to your leaders, and if that doesn't work, well hope you have some unlikely surprises rise to the top.
The Rundown
It all looked good in the start. The Flames didn't score right off the bat this time, but that didn't mean they weren't going to let Dallas know that this game wasn't going to end with a different result.
Steve Begin always looking to make an impression, (because let's face it, he needs to in order to stay in the line-up) didn't waste any time; getting into with Ryan Garbutt just 2:17 into the game. It didn't last long as they threw a few punches before Begin went all UFC and picked Garbutt up and slammed him to the ice. That probably got Hartley's attention.
At 8:11 of the first, Flames fans got that sense of familiarity, when Mike Cammalleri potted his fourth goal of the year, which also happens to be his fourth against Dallas. Tanguay and Wideman with the apples, as the Flames power-play continues to cover for their poor penalty-kill.
That was all the scoring for the opening frame as the Flames out-shot the Stars 8-4 and out-chanced then 6-2. Three of Calgary's chances came on the PP, even though they were only 1 for 4 with the man advantage. Dallas would go 0 for 3.
The second period changed the game on a dome as the Stars would score three unanswered goals, leaving the Flames scrambling to look for a new plan of attack. At 1:51, Cody Eakin would tie the game up with a wrist shot from the top of the circle, as Jagr sat planted in front of MacDonald.
1:51 later, Anton Babchuk would slide past Derek Roy and right out of the play. Roy with an open shot on net would be stopped by MacDonald. Riley Smith would jump on the rebound and with the Flames basically standing around watching, take a couple swipes at the puck, eventually back-handing it past MacBackup.
Ryan Garbutt would make it 3-1 at 15:23, and the Starts would go to the dressing room in full control of the game. Dallas proved that when you shoot enough, good things happen. They out-chanced the Flames 8-6, but out-shot them 22-12.
It didn't look good for Calgary going into the third period trailing; given that going back to Oct. 31st of 2009, the Stars were 78-0-1 when leading after the second period. Time for a new game plan.
Where the Stars showed that if you shoot, the goals will come, Calgary proved that when the game is on the line, it's all about quality - not quantity.
The Comeau experiment didn't work so Hartley put Horak with Iggy. That obviously wasn't working after the 2nd, so why not try your Czech trio together? Good move Bob. Just 1:39 into the third period Roman Cervenka would take the shot from the point. Though it didn't get though to Bachman, the puck would go right to Jay Bouwmeester. Forcing Bachman to give up a rebound, Horak was Johnny-on-the-spot to draw the Flames within one.
At 2:24, Matt Stajan!!! Yes that Matt Stajan would tie the game at threes, and all of a sudden, we had ourselves a hockey game. It was ALL Calgary from start to finish in the third and then if it you weren't still in shock that Stajan scored, Steve Begin would score his first goal since April of 2010 to put the Flames ahead 4-3.
There were no power-plays in the third, but Calgary didn't need them. They got three goals on just six shots in the final frame and outchanced the Stars 7-1. It got a little dicey in the last two minutes when Dallas pulled the goalie, but even though the Flames couldn't buy an empty-netter, they still controlled the play, and legitimately earned the win tonight.
Why the Flames Won...
Because they straight up earned it tonight. It seemed like a familiar story as the Flames had a narrow lead only to lose it by giving up a barrage of goals to the opposition.
Tonight howerver, they would not be content for fate to write their ending. They came out in the final frame and took it to the Stars just like they did four nights earlier. When things weren't working well for the team, Hartley adapted, switched things up and wasn't afraid to shorten the bench. Anton Babchuk was straight up terrible tonight and saw little to no ice-time in the final period.
Because the Flames finally got secondary scoring from the bottom six. Though I will still maintain it was a solid game for the Czech line, and they did generate some chances, there weren't many noteworthy plays from the top six. Instead it was the bottom six, moreso Steve Begin and Matt Stajan (again, that Matt Stajan) that sparked the team and got the scoring going.
I'm not going to get the chance or have the desire to do this very often, so I'm going with Steve Begin tonight.
He set the stage for making an impression in this game with a good fight and even better finish on Ryan Garbutt early in the game.
He played a good mucker's game with a couple of big hits and then capped off the night by scoring the game winning goal.
Honourable mention goes to Joey MacDonald and Matt Stajan tonight. MacDonald looked shakey to start but actually settled down as the game went on. He's not the answer to any goaltending question, but he played decent tonight and I guess that's all we can ask for.
Matty Franchise played 14:35 and looked pretty good with Stempniak and Glencross when that combination came around. He scored the tying goal and was 60% in the face-off circle tonight. To me, it was probably his best game of the year so far.
Sum it Up
A much needed win came tonight to get the Flames back to .500. Twitter was blowing up in the second as everyone though the show was over and I really wonder, after the Blues game, how many people even watched the third. Hopefully you did stick around as your Flames came through, for you, ALL FOR YOU!
You can describe this game anyway you like, but you can't take away the fact that the Flames worked their asses off for this one. We all have complained about this team needing to show heart and tonight, we got it.
Am I concerned that it came from unexpected sources instead of the guys we do expect it from? Well yeah, a little, but at least they are showing it as a team. Even in the loss to the Blues, they started to show it later in the game, but by then it was too little, too late; and the Blues are a much better team than the stars.
No time to sit back and enjoy this one for long. The boys are on a plane to Arizona where they face the Coyotes tomorrow night. This will be a good chance to get above the .500 mark, and if the Flames play the way they did tonight, they'll have a good shot.
Game time is 7:00 MST on SNET-W. There is a good chance that we get to finally see Danny Taylor get his first start with the Flames. I for one am looking forward to see what he can do. See you tomorrow!
Nice summary. I AM concerned 4th liners need to score to win a game but hey...it's a team for a reason. Flames need a winning streak soon to be a contender...let's see if they can succeed in Phoenix. P.S. The everything is bigger in Texas note lends itself to some "interesting" pictures of ladies...surprised those did not appear in the article.
February 17 2013, 10:40PM
On the whole .500 thing, since implementation of the loser point, the new .500 is around .640 when looking at point percentage.
Still in shock that Begin...STEVE FREAKING BEGIN...scored the winner. Whoever threw $5 on that in Vegas got a tidy sum.
The problem with the Flames is they seem to play 2 good periods, and one awful one. The problem is, usually during that awful stretch the goals pile up fast and furious and they end up being down too far to climb out of it. Tonight they got lucky but that won't happen most nights.
Who starts, MacDonald or Taylor? I'd go with Taylor, see what you got in him, but wouldn't be surprised if MacDonald starts.
February 17 2013, 10:58PM
I thought Begin showed some veteran leadership tonight. Good game by Stajan's line too.
Very impressed that the Flames turned this one around. A whole team effort.
These are the kinds of games that the Flames lost in past years, that just killed them. This year, we're starting to win some of them.
In the past 3 years, a different result in 3 or 4 games like this would have put us in the playoffs. Things are starting to look better...
Glad to see the boys pull this one out of Dallas. Great effort and was a big game. A loss would have been real hard to climb back into the hunt. They are a winning streak away from their playoff goal. Curious what team shows up tomorrow, cant expect your bottom guys to do it all the time. This team actually does play better on the road.
Finally some gritty and sandpaper play from this team in the first and especially in the third period. Going hard to the net and fighting for loose pucks.
I don't know what Comeau has done to garner a roster spot on this team, but if they placed Jones and Irving on waivers for lacklustre play and lack of confidence from the coaching staff I feel he is not too far behind to get the same kind of demotion.

"1:51 later, Anton Babchuk would slide past Derek Roy and right out of the play."
I'd like to see a consistent lineup on D... I think that would help the team, but none of Butler, Smith, Babchuk, Sarich have been very good. Nor does it seem they want that spot. I'm especially surprised by Butler and Smith... this is their chance to earn a spot in the NHL and we have guys like Wotherspoon and Ramage coming down the pipe. At this point I'd rather see a couple trades and maybe give Carson a chance

It is disappointing that competition has not catapulted one of them forward yet. Maybe they need to spend some time in the redwings system or something lol.
I feel pretty alright with the top four, bottom two have been causing some issues.
Danny Taylor gets the start, confirmed by Hartley
February 18 2013, 11:24AM
So, the answer to the people asking the question of whether Hartley's system would help Babchuk: No.
Good 2/3rds of a game. Still waiting for Jarome to do something.
Good for Stajan getting that 1st goal. Honestly, he deserved it.
I hope we see more of that Czeching line--even if it means Horak actually plays a decent amount of ice time.
February 18 2013, 11:50AM
Didn't seem to miss Jones in this one. Babchuck needs to be benched somewhere in Siberia.
Full value to the Flames....... however.... how the heck does that dallas goalie make pro serving up rebounds like that? Compounding that was the Dallas D. He did actually make the initial save on every Flame goal but they were blissfully unaware or disinterested in impeding the flames forwards in cashing the gravy.
It was nice to see the flames getting to the net. If Dallas wants to stand around with their thumbs up their a88es. 4 fat genos it is!!!
Plus. It really is amusing listening to Kerr get all EXCITED!
Was wondering, we have 3 pretty good transitional dmen in Brodie, Wideman & JBO. We lack a solid shutdown hitting top 4. Sarich doesnt cut it.We are showing some goal scoring on a consistency we havent seen for a few years, we just need to stop the goals better. Interesting things happening in Buffalo, way better team than their record. They need that transitional dman. Wonder if they would part with either Myers(who has been in their doghouse lately) for JBO + something or I have always liked Sekera's game & he's always mentioned in trade rumours in Buffalo. Wonder if we could get him & Ennis for JBO +. I think JBO's value is much higher these days, might be time to sell high on him.
Giordano has struggled this season. I think if the Flames look at moving a D-man, it may be him.
Especially if you are talking about a guy like ROR. The Avs want a D-man and despite his troubles this year, he's the kind of guy Colorado would love to have on their blueline.
Shows how many holes we have on this team. Not sure which is more important, a defensively solid top 4 dman or a 1a or 2nd line centre? I wouldnt be giving up much more than Gio in a deal for ROR. 1 year could have been a blip like our 2004 playoff run. Then who goes into the top 4 rotation? What if he's still injured & then we still dont get that centreman & now we really look like we are in big time trouble on the top 4 pairings, especially with Butler crapping the bed this year.

Bills In Giving Mood For Christmas
by Howard Simon
posted Dec 23 2012 12:00AM
Earlier this week I wrote a column about the Bills considering the approach of "stay the course". I will now give credit where credit is due because the team is doing just that. They keep losing as year three of the Chan Gailey era painfully inches its way to an end.
There is no "heroic run to 7-9"(Jerry Sullivan's favorite phrase) coming. On the contrary, there is a complete collapse under way. The Bills have lost 3 straight games since the season preserving victory over a pitiful Jacksonville club. Since the spirit lifting overtime win in Arizona(which was also followed by a 3 game skid), Buffalo is 2-7 and too many times have looked like a club that has bailed on the coaching staff.
In trying to assess Gailey's future with the team, you can't even say it's all on the defense. Gailey's offense has been coughing and wheezing more than I used to during asthma attacks but they don't have a rescue inhaler like I did.
The Bills have averaged just 16 points over the last 6 games, scoring a total of 9 touchdowns. The passing game has practically disappeared as Fitzpatrick has averaged 184 yards a game in that stretch. Buffalo has been fairly impotent in the red zone, managing 7 touchdowns in 18 red zone possessions, a conversion rate of 38%.
Miami has a good defense but one thing they have not done well is create turnovers. In fact, coming into this game, the Dolphins had just 1 takeaway in their previous 7 games. They came up with 4 takes on Sunday.
Maybe Gailey can say something to his squad about protecting the football. The Bills lost 3 fumbles on Sunday bringing their season total to 16(among top 5 in NFL), an alarming increase over last season's 5 fumbles lost.
I will give Gailey credit for getting the ball into the hands of C.J. Spiller. The Bills didn't abandon the run despite never having a lead and Spiller ended up equaling his season high(which came against Miami last month) of 22 carries.
But Gailey gets a demerit for yet another instance of terrible play calling right before halftime. The Bills had the ball at their own 20 with :33 left and 2 time outs. The first play was a short pass to Dorin Dickerson for a whopping 5 yards. What good is that going to do? The Bills burned their 2
time out. After a false start(the 4
of the half at a not so noisy Sun Life Stadium), there was an incompletion on a short pass over the middle for Spiller and then the obligatory "safe run" with Spiller. For some reason the Dolphins let the clock run out rather than make the Bills punt and see if they could make something happen with the remaining seconds.
How about throwing downfield? How about trying to knock off big chunks of yardage so you can get in field goal range? I now, they don't have a quarterback who can do that but why not try? What have you got to lose?
The Bills are now a hideous 3-14 against the AFC East under Gailey. The loss also officially eliminates the chance the Bills could actually improve on their best finish under Gailey, 6-10 last season.
The week began with players talking about how much they love playing for their embattled head coach. Stevie Johnson said he didn't want to talk about it too much because he would get emotional. Stevie and company sure are doing their best to get Gailey fired. Johnson had probably his worst game in the last 3 years. He was targeted a team high 10 times but managed just 4 catches for 44 yards, leaving him 65 shy of a 3
straight thousand yard season.
Johnson's fumble after a catch in the first quarter wiped out a first down in the red zone(insert snide remark here about how they wouldn't have scored a TD in the red zone anyway).
He dropped a pass later in that quarter that would have given the Bills a first down at their own 33 yard line.
In the 2
quarter, Johnson was unable to hold on to a TD pass from Fitzpatrick with the ball coming out when he hit the ground in the end zone. That would have tied the game at 7.
Which leads me to my final thought on this game. I HATE THE NFL RULES!!!!!! Who the heck knows what is a catch and what isn't? And why can someone running the ball have their body in mid air but over the out of bounds territory, but still get a TD if they extend the ball inside the pylon and over the goal line? And it doesn't matter if a ball comes out after a rushing play has gone over the goal line but it does matter if a guy who catches the ball and runs it in loses control? How stupid is that?
I might be biased because the Bills came out on the short end of the stick but Johnson makes a catch, establishes possession/control and crosses the goal line with the ball secured. How is that not a touchdown?
On Dickerson's fumble after a catch in the 3
quarter, it didn't look like he had the ball secured as he turned to run. I thought you had to complete a football play and it sure looked he had not done that but as is the case many times, the NFL hides behind the excuse that video evidence wasn't conclusive and the call on the field must stand.
The reason replay review is in the game, in part, is because itncan be difficult to make the correct call in live action. Plays happen so fast that you can't see what might have actually occurred. But the NFL hamstrings its own replay system by saying the live action, best guess call carries more weight than a video review with slow motion and multiple angles.
For example, I give you the Reggie Bush touchdown run in the 1
quarter. When I looked at the replay going to commercial, I yelled at the TV set that his right foot was touching out of bounds. It looked the same way upon further review but the play on the field by the official who is making a guess in a split second was TD so the heck with what your eyes are seeing, right?
Finally there was the Ryan Tannehill lateral in the 3
quarter. Again by NFL rules, the replay was inconclusive so the call on the field stood but that wasn't the part that made me mad.
How many times have you heard a referee explain an on field call or replay ruling and think they MUST be making this stuff up as they go. I was laughing out loud(sorry LOL) as the referee basically told us even though a pass can be going backwards, its considered a forward pass whenever a defensive player makes contact with the passer. WHAT? The NFL is now defying physics…a backwards pass is still a forward pass! God bless them.
By the way, if that is a rule, why did they still review the play? And why would Gailey lose a timeout if the challenge should not have been allowed because the rules state it was a forward pass? Just wondering.
Another miserable Bills game day is in the record books and another miserable Bills season is slowly but surely coming to an end. Here's hoping Ralph Wilson spent three hours on Sunday watching his excuse for a football franchise and will order changes right after the Bills end yet another life sucking year.
Merry Christmas all!

Posted on 10/30/2013 3:22:18 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Keshia Thomas, a Black woman who protected a White man at a Ku Klux Klan rally back in 1996, recently recalled her act, according to BBC News.
I knew what it was like to be hurt, Thomas said. The many times that, that happened, I wish someone would have stood up for me.
Thomas was 18 years old, when Klansmen decided to hold a rally in Ann Arbor, Mich., her hometown. Known for being a heavily liberal and multiracial area, hundreds of residents gathered in a show of force against the group.
Though officers protected the White supremacists with riot gear and protesters were held behind a fence, the rally soon turned hostile. A woman holding a megaphone reportedly noticed a White man among them wearing a confederate T-shirt. She reportedly notified protesters who then proceeded to chase him from the crowd.
Though its not known if the man was a Klan member, protesters allegedly yelled, Kill the Nazi, before knocking him down. They reportedly began attacking him with wooden sticks from their signs.
For Thomas, the situation had clearly gotten out of hand.
When people are in a crowd, they are more likely to do things they would never do as an individual. Someone had to step out of the pack and say, This isnt right. she said.
Consequently, Thomas threw herself over the man, protecting him from further harm.
Then-student photographer Mark Brunner, who photographed the motion, was amazed by Thomas actions.
She put herself at physical risk to protect someone who, in my opinion, would not have done the same for her, he said. Who does that in this world? According to Thomas, Violence is violence nobody deserves to be hurt, especially not for an idea. Now in her 30s, Thomas has never heard from the man, but she did have an encounter with someone close to him: Months after the gesture, a man reportedly approached her in a coffee shop and thanked her. When she asked why, he said, That was my dad.
Knowing the man had a son put things in even greater perspective for Thomas. For the most part, people who hurt they come from hurt. It is a cycle. Lets say they had killed him or hurt him really bad. How does the son feel? Does he carry on the violence?
Now living in Texas, Thomas says she is looking toward the future and not her past.
I dont want to think that this is the best I could ever be. In life you are always striving to do better. she said. The biggest thing you can do is just be kind to another human being. It can come down to eye contact or a smile. It doesnt have to be a huge monumental act.
Klan in Ann Arbor is asking for trouble but that's what they do. Too bad so many idiots are easily baited.
You do know that Newsone is a black racist website not posted here by those who want to be taken seriously.
Hopefully some good comes out of all this.
Confederate symbol = Nazi? Who knew?
There are lots of good folks out there of all races. There are also lots of scum of all races, note the victim and his attackers are all white.
It is ironic that a black woman would be the only one trying to save a man up north who is proud to wear the Confederate Flag.
He had a Confederate T-Shirt. The BBC story say he has an SS tattoo.
I used to know a guy who was an American Nazi (yes, he was CREEPY). They hate the Klan, and I assume vice versa. Who would have ever thought?
Conversly I recall David Horowitz, from an article in the Amer. Spectator many yrs ago made a similar observation from his black panther sympathizing days. How Huey Newton and Bobby Seale were mortal enemies. Amazing they didn't kill each other.
SS runes on shoulder.
We had a Nazi in my basic combat training company at Ft. Leonard Wood. He had been in an earlier cycle, had been busted somehow (he joined the Army to learn small arms repair for the Nazi Party) and they were putting him to work painting murals in the orderly room while his discharge was processed. Not a bad artist in a folk art sort of way. This was in June or July of 1978.
The SS tattoo is clearly seen on his shoulder in the second photo.
The Klan are dumbest bunch of damned fools only equaled by Farakhan's crazy bunch...
They are too stuipid to realize that the issue is never the genetic attributes of race of a group of humans but the negative aspects of degenerate cultures...
What make any culture degenerate?
Any culture that doesn't push their children to be better than the previous generation is by definition degenerate.
So instead of taking responsibility for the failings in their own respective cultures and taking steps to remedy the situation by demanding more of their offspring, they instead blame the roll of the genetic dice.
Is is any wonder that both the above bat sht crazy groups blame the jews for all their problems, when Jewsih culture HAD to work hard to survive and that is what made them a sucessful group in the first place...
I'm sorry...I don't buy any of this...a klan rally in 96....69 maybe....and this source? Sorry ,ain't buyin any of it.....
I agree...we need a mod to weigh in here.....this is HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE
Yes. But certainly it influenced the child and to me that is even more important as the children are the future.
This post just shows how gullible and mindless some people are.
Anyone, like Abby on CSI or seedy characters on Law and Order, can stamp a tat on their body anywhere to play a specific role and then wash it off afterwards.
She's an Uncle Tom. Anyone who has read the novel will know exactly what I'm talking about, and understand that I'm saying that as a compliment.
The entire thing looks staged to me. The date, the cast of characters....the over dramatic poses...I can't believe some Freepers are falling for this.
Then again, some missed obvious sarcasm today on another thread. Is Obama making us dumber?
(SNIP) Thomas ... has at least one unlikely new admirer. "We bless her," says Jeffery Berry, 43, a National Imperial Wizard of the KKK and a Newville, Ind., tow-truck operator. "If you get ahold of her, tell her that Jeff Berry thanks her."
She did the moral and ethical thing when it was far from the easy thing to do.
I don't doubt it was staged in 1996 and reported in 96, but I still say it looks phony, false and overly dramatic. I can believe PEOPLE Mag falling for it....then and now....
Equating race and culture is central to all 'liberal' and 'progressive' beliefs.
So the KKK is indeed stupid, but the majority of America's elite believe the same stupid thing.
VERY Well Said Grace, thank you for your Kind Words, G-d Bless You, though I am sure he already has!
It is Character that matters, not race or gender.
There is also nothing wrong with being excepting of Other Cultures, what was that old Saw about the old American Melting Pot?
FReepers Quick, Raise your hand if you or wife or children are multi Racial, Multi Religion, of different nationally or economic background.
My Guess that would be....all of us!
Granny always said she thought there was an indian in the woodpile somewhere.
What a weird title
According to Romney at least :p
>>I used to know a guy who was an American Nazi (yes, he was CREEPY). They hate the Klan, and I assume vice versa. Who would have ever thought?
Read the 3rd quote on my FR profile page, the two-paragraph one by Hayek. He makes interesting observations about between-the-wars Nazis and Communists in Germany.
I expect a similar dynamic is at work.
That's why the Nazi flag and other symbols were red. They admitted to this in their diaries, IIRC.
"Thats why the Nazi flag and other symbols were red. They admitted to this in their diaries, IIRC."
Hitler admitted in his book something along the lines that he felt he could lead workers to his movement by stealing the red from the communists.
I was in A2 working on a masters at the time. It happened.
What's your problem - you don't think black people can do something heroic? You don't think black people can feel others' pain?
You don't have to have thousands to have a rally, you know. You can have 10 people, get a permit, and march down Main Street.
Wow,what an absurd and totally incoherent response from you, way off the deep end like someone mentally disturbed.
My problem? None, but my radar tells me this is a staged photo, a staged event, to make a political point. My instincts are normally (not 100%, but usually) right when liberals stage something to make a point.
Your racist charge outs you as a liberal troll. Bye.
These days, I suspect the Klan is a bunch of federal informants waiting for some idiot saying he wants to join up.
Okay, so your instincts tell you it was staged and it's not because you're racist.
What part do you think didn't happen? The Klan rally? The guy getting beat up? The woman saving him? Who was in on the staged photo? What's your alternate scenario that's more plausible than the way it's reported? I'm interested in the details, because it sounds like it would be a great story.
My instincts tell me, because I understand exactly how the media uses phony events to promote their cause, especially the cause of accusing all conservatives of being white.
This looks just as phony to me as those planted scenarios at many tea party events. As for a klan rally in a liberal university town just outside of Detroit in the mid 90s? May have happened, but I doubt it was big. I haven't seen anything like that in eastern NC in 50 years...let alone the 90s....
But that's beside the point....to me it just smacks of the very same thing done at tea party rallies in the past couple of years. Having hyper instincts is a burden sometimes....
Well, as someone else noted, they were in Ann Arbor when this happened. I also lived in the Midwest at this time and there was a resurgence of Klan rallies in the mid 90s. The Klan presence was never very large, but the counter demonstrations sometimes drew a large presence. So the rallies did happen, we saw them. The particular story here, the pictures do seem convincing. It's either completely staged, which is not the left's typical MO, or they convinced some stupid actor to put on a fake SS tattoo and risk getting killed by a violent crowd.
I agree with you that left is very good at creating convincing lies, but this doesn't seem like one of them.
Then the only thing you and I disagree on is whether or not this particular photo was staged. Which is fine.
Which of course means we agree that no large Klan rally happened.
We agree that the left is always looking to fake these kinds of things in general.
And now you should agree that it was absurd and uncalled for - for you to play the race card on me. In fact, your entire accusatory attitude was baseless and quite like how a liberal would be expected to respond....
Go back and look at the posts. I didn't play the race card with you. You have me confused with someone else. I clearly took you at your word and asked for clarification when another person inferred you had racist motives.
Fair enough...I wasn't sure how to interpret your comment on race in light of the other accusation on this thread....

Fitch Ratings takes a look this week at how leveraged muni-bond closed-end funds are likely to fare if interest rates continue to rise.
If you're thinking, They're going to fall … Bingo.
Fitch finds every 1% rate increase translates to a 16% drop in muni CEF net-asset values. That, in any case, should be true for municipal-bond closed-end funds with portfolio durations of more than 10 years.
Turns out that's 71% of the market, according to Fitch. Here's the result of their sensitivity analysis, apologies for the chopped text in the graphic.
Keep in mind a 16% drop in NAV wouldn't be the same as a 16% market-price drop. If history is any guide, market prices would fall harder than the NAV in a selloff of that magnitude. It would be, in short, the type of buying opportunity my colleague Randy Forsyth has been writing about, squared.
The commentary follows a so-so week for big muni CEFs, which is better another selloff. BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust (BTT) finished Friday at $18.34, three cents higher than the close a week ago. Nuveen Municipal Opportunity (NIO) rose 15 cents on the week to close at $13.25. Nuveen New York AMT-Free Municipal Income (NRK) lost 22 cents to end at $12.12.
The sector's big ETF, iShares S&P National AMT-Free Muni Bond (MUB) ETF, lost 24 cents for the week, while the yield-rich SPDR Nuveen S&P High Yield Municipal Bond ETF (HYMB) lost 36 cents to $51.17.

Lightweight Cotton Fabric
Lightweight cotton fabrics work well for blouses, dresses and tops as they are easily draped and sewn. Cotton has long been noted for its comfortable, soft hand and hydrophilic properties. With its amicable breathability, lightweight cotton not only has a high retention of color, but for prints well. Although lightweight, cotton remains strong due to the mercerization process that also improves a cotton's luster.

Black Friday is an opportunity for many people to replace items lost to the storm.
TOMS RIVER, N.J. -- Black Friday shopping represented another stride in the march to normalcy for many residents of Jersey Shore communities recovering from the devastating impact of Superstorm Sandy.
Ocean County, N.J., was among the hardest-hit areas by the storm that took hundreds of lives and caused about $50 billion in damage along the East Coast. For Barbara Mancini, Black Friday provided a distraction after being forced from her Seaside Heights home. She has moved in with her daughter, Kim, her shopping companion at the Toys R Us at Ocean County Mall in Toms River.
Life since the storm "has been an ordeal, but you do what you have to and try to remain positive,'' Barbara Mancini said. "We came out to find (the video game) Skylander. It's been fun."
BLACK FRIDAY: Crowds hit stores in person, online
TOP 20: Black Friday deals
REVIEWED.COM: Camera buying guide
Mall Manager Peter Lembo said Black Friday turnout did not seem to be deterred by Sandy fallout.
"I don't know the long-term effects of Sandy, but we want to provide our shoppers a good area for them to eat, congregate and shop and meet other folks," he said. "People were lined up at 10 p.m. (Thursday), and we opened at midnight for our customers' convenience, and they responded.''
Not everything went according to plan. Macy's shoppers at the mall were disappointed to find the store closed because of a power outage.
Store manager Michael Hardy said his staff had been preparing to open when the power went off late Thursday night, causing the store to remain closed. He called the situation "very disappointing.''
Roger Castro, 15, was shopping at the mall with his mother, brother and sister. They were hoping for deals as they tried to replace belongings destroyed in the flooding of their Seaside Heights home.
"We came out to get some new clothes, television and furniture," Castro said. He said their family home is still standing but very messed up."
Matt Oberto, a sales manager at the Brick Township Best Buy, said the crowd was lined up around the building when the store opened at midnight. Many were looking for a hot-selling 40'' flat-screen TV, but computers and other items also moved quickly, he said.
For Richard and Kelly Hunsinger of Manchester, Black Friday was an opportunity to find some bargains.
"This is my first time coming out this early for Black Friday,'' Richard Hunsinger said. "It got pretty wild at the Walmart. I saw two ladies get into a fistfight tonight in the television line."
Kmart is one of the few big box stores that usually opens on Thanksgiving Day, but before the Mableton, Ga., store's doors even opened at 6 a.m. Thursday, some shoppers left frustrated after learning the doorbuster deals were already out.
Auntie Anne's manager Kathy Hulick said the turnout was good and provided a chance for the pretzel shop to showcase its new snowball pretzel nugget product. "Black Friday is a good kickoff for the holiday season. Everyone is loving our snowballs!''

Skip to comments.Freep This Poll (Maine to Legalize Marijuana)
Posted on 11/15/2012 8:18:39 AM PST by YourAdHere
Do you believe Maine should legalize, tax and regulate marijuana?
I FReeped it with the conservative response: Yes.
Do you believe Maine should legalize, tax and regulate marijuana?
Yes 72%
No 28%
Total Votes: 479
I'm going to vote yes. Do you still want me to FReep it?
I voted YES.
I get the "legalize part, but the "tax" and "regulate" is ridiculous.
You can grow the stuff in your bedroom. So much for taxing and regulating. And THAT is why it was made illegal.
Ah , Marijuana Liberal Brain Food
You can grow the stuff in your bedroom. So much for taxing and regulating.
A lot of products that people buy in stores are things they could grow (or make) themselves. Convenience has market value.
Hell/Handbasket, why not?
Portland = "Po'tland" :) (pronunciation)
I agree, but that "convenience" might mean buying it, tax-free, from the guy (kid) next door. And the stuff you buy locally might be more potent than any government-blessed stuff at the store. Think about the old limitations on beer across the US.
I'm not familiar with the old limitations on beer across the US - I am sure that the untaxed guy-next-door market in beer is negligible.
Legality of the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol hasn't sent us to Hell in a handbasket - why would legality of marijuana do so?
Why not?
"Ah , Marijuana Liberal Brain Food"
It will keep them dumb and numb while Obama takes over the rest of their lives.
Yes 70%.
No 30%.
Voted yes.
Caveat... Make drug testing mandatory for any and all welfare/socialist benefits. Pop positive on a pee quiz and the money tap gets shut off.
Wanna sit around being a stoner? Fine. Don't do it on my dime...
"Wanna sit around being a stoner? Fine. Dont do it on my dime..."
ahahaha there's a reason why liberals want to legalize pot. Nothing to do with freedom.
Actually, alcohol has sent plenty of people into a kind of hell, arguably of their own making, but few drinkers set out to be alcoholics or killers of small children in auto accidents. The stuff can be lethal, adds billions of dollars in harm costs to state budgets (hospital, police etc).
So why would anyone want to add another legal mind/judgement altering substance to the mix? The day after it was voted "legal" in WA state, a stoned kid had an accident that injured six others, a couple critically. It's just the beginning.
Isn't the internet wonderful?
Just curious. What does legalizing drugs do to pre-employment and random drug screens? Since pot would be legal, how long would you have to wait for favorable drug results? Would you just quit testing for drugs too?
You were naïvely living in a world where you believed there was no marijuana in Washington State until November 6th?
As far as I know, employers are free to test for legal or illegal drugs.
Now it's 71-29 'yes', 659 votes.
So why would anyone want to add another legal mind/judgement altering substance to the mix?
Do you support subtracting a legal mind/judgement altering substance from the mix by returning to Prohibition?
The day after it was voted legal in WA state, a stoned kid had an accident that injured six others, a couple critically.
Marijuana remains illegal until enabling legislation is passed, so your anecdote proves nothing.
There will be an increase in sales of drug-masking potions.
Hail yes...those Mainers are crazy anyway...might as well let them be high and crazy...
And the reason "conservatives" want it to remain criminalized?
The blood rushes to their loins when they think of employing state power to crush hippies and other types of people they consider unpalatable.
LOL! Beautifully put.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Another victory for capitalism.
After all, how many accountants and financial advisors make a portion of their living advising clients how to circumvent oppressive tax laws?
Got that right, just like selling radar detectors...
Thank you, my friend. I wonder how long it'll take before the Usual Suspects sniff this thread out and start posting awesomely-intellectual and compelling looserdopian rhetoric. Socons have an absolutely amazing way of sniffing out fun so they can squelch it.
"Actually, alcohol has sent plenty of people into a kind of hell, arguably of their own making, but few drinkers set out to be alcoholics or killers of small children in auto accidents."
Well, "actually" most people who consume alcohol not only do not "set out to become alcoholics or killers of small children in auto accidents", and in fact MOST do not obtain either one of those attributes during their life time of alcohol consumption.
And guess what, MOST recreational consumers of marijuana are no different in those respects; they do not become marijuan addicts at any higher rate than do alcohol consumers become alcoholics, nor do they become "killers of small children in auto accidents" at any greater rate than consumers of alcohol.
"Substance abuse" is subtance abuse, regardless of the chemical/drug involved amd certain incidents and certain occupations require checking for substance abuse as a matter of public safety. Decriminalization of marijuana will not change that. It might even stir greater vigilance about it, with regard to all "legal" substances that can be abused, when it comes to both transportation accidents (of all kinds) and occupations with a high priority concern for public safety.
In fact, the addiction rate is quite a bit LOWER for marijuana: of those who have used alcohol, 15% were at some point dependent on it, whereas the corresponding figure for marijuana is 9%.
Well, at least we know what side you're on, troll.
Thanks for posting! I voted for freedom and against govt tyranny over a natural-growing weed.
I might change my mind if we had a package making alcohol, tobacco and pot illegal. At least then we would be getting rid of two dangerous drugs.
Well, at least we know what side youre on, troll.
HG has been posting in that vein since the last century. But feel free to hold your breath waiting for that zot.
Voting Yes. Thanks.
Yet you chose to sign up for this social conservative site.
To put everyone's mind at ease, legalization of pot is not going to change much of anything. I live in Los Angeles, where pot has been functionally legal for the past decade or so. There are hundreds of hip, little "dispensaries" in every commercial district, and they sell pot to anyone with a "recommendation" that can be obtained in about 15 minutes by claiming, without documentation, medical "stress" or "anxiety" or "insomnia".
Now, there are a lot of things to complain about in terms of life in Los Angeles, but you'd be hard-pressed to attribute many of them to legal pot. Crime rates have posted substantial year over year declines; test scores remain dismal, but slightly improving; drug abuse and addiction rates haven't changed that I'm aware of.
Think about it like this: do you personally know anyone who doesn't smoke pot because it's illegal, and once it's legal, will become a pot smoker? Everyone I know either likes pot and smokes it, or doesn't. Nobody is sitting out there saying to themselves, "boy I wish I could smoke some pot, but unfortunately, it's illegal, so I can't."
So make it legal or not, nothing much is going to change. The only thing that I really hope is that if it becomes legal in more places, the market for Mexican pot moved across the border by narco-terrorist cartels via illegal aliens will dry up, helping with our attempts to seal the freakin' border and stop the illegal alien invasion. Now that would change things in L.A. significantly, for the better!
Couldn't Vote!!
Poll kept defaulting to the results. Wonder if they've closed down the polls?
Another vote for "Yes." And I don't even live in Maine. ...As long as the lobsters ain't F'd up, what do I care?
Just because it is legal doesn't make it OK at Home Depot. They do not want the liability for some stoner driving a fork lift and hurting someone.
Pot is effectively legal in California. It's incredibly easy to get a prescription — I live in a retirement area, average age is probably 70. Nice to have retired neighbors because they keep an eye on the area.
BUT, I smell pot CONSTANTLY in my backyard, through my open windows and on the streets when I walk the pooches.
I am sensitive to it because of allergies/asthma and I well know the smell of it having grown up in the 60s and 70s.
These OLD people all (well a lot of them) seem to have prescription for legal pot!!— they've told me you can buy pot ice cream, pot brownies, pot lollipops (for the kiddies?), and various brand names of pot — for their glaucoma or arthritis, I've heard.
I worry about them getting behind the wheel of a car — which they all do — and driving around STONED.
Sometimes, it's not what you think...
Trick question!
They should legalize it then keep their grubby hands off it. But I voted, Yes.
What does legalizing drugs do to pre-employment and random drug screens? Since pot would be legal, how long would you have to wait for favorable drug results? Would you just quit testing for drugs too?.....They would have to start all over, retreat and regroup. As a safety auditor I talked to a guy 20 years ago who was safety manager for a large manufacturing plant. I asked to see his drug plan for employees and he showed me a written plan, took me to a window and said ' Do you see those people out there?' I said 'Yes'. He said ' If we shut the place down, RIGHT NOW and made all of them piss in a jar, I'd be the only person with a car in the lot.' The people I looked down the floor at numbered about 300 plus.
Democrats will only use the tax money to grow bigger government.

Kim Kardashian Divorce Stress: Pregnancy at Risk!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
We hope you're happy, Kris Humphries.
Being a delusional, money-hungry moron isn't just putting your reputation at risk... it's also causing serious problems for Kim Kardashian's fetus!
Sources close to the reality star say she consulted with physicians last week because she was experiencing pregnancy pains.
Following an examination, the doctor determined that Kim's condition was mostly stress-related. And we all know there's only one stress in this woman's entire life? The Kris Humphries divorce case!
Kardashian's health issues, after all, returned - more extreme than ever - just hours before she met with her attorney yesterday.
Kim is reportedly very worried about the "long-term effects" the divorce-related stress could have on her baby and is really hoping all is settled some time in the next few weeks.

Conference Information
|Full Title:
|3rd International Language Management Symposium: Special Focus on Research Methodology
|Prague, Czech Republic
|Start Date:
|13-Sep-2013 - 14-Sep-2013

|Meeting Description:
|Following on the tradition of Language Management Theory originally elaborated by J. V. Neustupný and B. H. Jernudd, the 3rd Language Management Symposium, sponsored by Charles University in Prague and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, welcomes discussion on empirical studies of language management, defined as any sort of behavior toward language, in other words, the various forms and manifestations of attention devoted to language or its use.
About the Language Management Theory and the Language Management Symposium:
Language Management Theory (framework/model) (LMT) originated against the background of the language planning theory of the 1960s and 1970s and both Neustupný and particularly Jernudd were originally involved in this language planning research. However, they transformed this research into what has become LMT, followed by new generations of researchers. LMT focuses on the acts and activities (such as noting, evaluation) of individual speakers as well as institutions of varying complexity (families, social and political groups, schools, government ministries, media), with the aim of uncovering the relationships between the activities of speakers on the one hand and those of institutions on the other. Another important feature is that it views linguistic activities in the context of communicative and sociocultural ones (for details see J. Nekvapil & T. Sherman, eds., Language Management in Contact Situations: Perspectives from Three Continents. Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien: Peter Lang, 2009).
A theory of such a scope, of course, must seriously address the ways in which it reaches its findings. Thus, the question of the research methodology becomes urgent. The methods used by the scholars subscribing to LMT include some procedures of conversation analysis, various types of interviews (follow-up, stimulated recall, interaction, narrative or semi-structured) and of course the analysis of documents and ethnography in general. Further methods, used only occasionally, include focus groups and systematic (self) observation. The main purpose of this symposium is to assess the effectiveness of the methods used by the LMT scholars when conducting particular empirical research.
The first international symposium on language management was devoted to 'probing of the concept of noting', and was held at Monash University (Clayton, Melbourne) in 2008. The second symposium addressing 'norm diversity and language management in globalized settings' took place at Waseda University (Tokyo) in 2011.

comfy and cute!
"These shoes are very comfortable and cute. I wanted a white shoe that could take the place of sneakers as a dressier alternative. I wear these to do errands or when we are going out to a casual place. They look great with white shorts or capris."

so cute, so painful
"I loved these shoes. Tried them on in the store and loved them. Ordered 2 pair online with a few other things. When I received them, I decided to wear one pair around the house for a couple of hours, to be sure they were going to fit the bill of a comfy, casual shoe. Not so much.There is something with the seams on the outside of the shoe below the pinky toe and the inside/top near the bottom of the big toe. It caused pain like you wouldn't believe after about an hour, and left behind a bruise. I have wide feet, so maybe that's the issue, but they didn't feel tight. So disappointed. At least I didn't wear them out anywhere!If you have wide feet, I'd recommend prancing around the house in these for a while before deciding to keep them."

'Altered' Wheat Flour Tolerated by Celiacs
2 comments:
- Lisa Roper said...
What about the clinical trials going on for the immunology drug that if taken twice/three times a day allows you to eat anything a person without celiac can eat? I've heard of studies going on in several states. Would love to know of the drugs are working and if it may be made available to those outside of the studies.
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@ Lisa Roper -
It's a common misconception that the celiac drug trials would allow a celiac or gluten sensitive person to eat gluten as much as an unaffected individual. That is not the case. These drugs are being developed to help prevent the dangerous, life-shortening immune response from occurring when some minor cross-contamination occurs in the diet.
These drugs are only trying to lessen the response to minor contamination - not outright cheating.
At least that's the current state of things.

Even the Mid-American Conference is piling on the Big 10.
The Mid-American Conference's football media day was held this morning at Ford Field and Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler Harnish was asked about playing two Big 10 teams this season in Wisconsin and Purdue on the road.
"Last year we went Big 10 (at Minnesota) and SEC (at Tennessee) so it's almost like a downgrade," Harnish said.
Harnish was then quick to praise Wisconsin and Purdue.
"In all honesty, those are two great programs with great traditions," Harnish said. "Purdue has the cradle of quarterbacks. Wisconsin has the great tradition of running backs and they've got another great one this year.
"But we're going up there expecting to win. And that's what you have to do. Obviously we're going to be undersized but if we play with real heart and great technique we'll have a great shot."
Harnish said he spent time with Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour and Western Michigan quarterback Tim Hiller and learned from them.
"I watched those guys in high school so it was kind of cool to be in the same room as them," Harnish said.
NIU coach Jerry Kill said he doesn't expect running back Cameron Bell to be eligible for this season. Bell transferred from Iowa State and was released from his scholarship there.
The MAC preseason poll also came out, with Northern Illinois picked to finish third in the West.
West Division
1. Central Michigan (154 points)
2. Western Michigan (126)
3. Northern Illinois (103)
4. Toledo (71)
5. Ball State (58)
6. Eastern Michigan (34)
East Division
1. Buffalo (155 points)
2. Temple (144)
3. Akron (128)
4. Ohio (116)
5. Bowling Green (101)
6. Kent State (51)
7. Miami (Ohio) (33)
MAC Championship Game winner:
Central Michigan (18 points), Western Michigan (4), Buffalo (2), Temple (2).
There aren't too many surprises in the preseason poll, but NIU safety David Bryant said he feels the Huskies are pretty close to the top two teams in the West.
"I think we're fairly close," Bryant said. "Each team lost important players from last year but have important guys coming back. But if you watch both of those games from last year, they both came down to the wire. And then they played each other it came down to the wire. I think all three teams are right there with each other."
Look for more from MAC media day in tomorrow's Daily Chronicle. NIU1981, your question on Furqan Muhammad will be in there, too.
