Only 47% feature site personalization, with 39% also offering recommendations.
Paul Demery
Personalizing web site content to cater to shoppers' interests has been a goal of online merchants since the early days of Internet retailing, but even today fewer than half, or 47.0%, of the sites in the Internet Retailer Top 500 tailor site content to individual visitors. Although 76.4% feature product recommendations, only 38.8% say they offer both product recommendations and site personalization, according to figures in the 2013 edition of the Top 500 Guide.
While personalization has become one of the basics of operating a web site, it's still only one of many site features retailers must address to provide a more appealing online shopping experience, says Peter Sheldon, senior analyst for e-business at Forrester Research Inc. "Personalization has matured over the years and will continue to do so, but it's still not the be-all and end-all," he says. A personalized shopping experience, along with e-commerce sites that make it easy to navigate and find products, have become part of the table stakes of e-commerce, he adds.
Among the Top 500, a total of 382 e-retailers, or 76.4%, offer site personalization, which, for example, will greet a site visitor with product displays and other content known to appeal her by her past shopping behavior as recorded by software tracking cookies, or by the ZIP code associated with her IP address.
235 of the Top 500, or 47.0%, offer product recommendations, which serve up suggested items based on an individual shopper's known interests, such as those tracked by software cookies, or items known to have high conversion rates with other shoppers who display similar shopping patterns.
Interestingly, catalog retailers are most likely to personalize their web sites, as 72.3% do so, with 81.5% offering product recommendations and 46.9% offering both. By comparison, only 37.9% of consumer brand manufacturers offer site personalization. Although 68.2% of consumer brand manufacturers offer product recommendations, only 28.8% offer both site personalization and product recommendations.
The new Top 500 Guide also shows the following about how many retailers offer site personalization and product recommendations, by merchant type, including the percentage of retailers within that merchant category and the number of merchants:
Web only retailers (total of 195 in Top 500):
● Site personalization, 79, 40.5%
● Product recommendations, 145; 74.4%
● Both features, 65; 33.3%
Retail chains (total of 158 in Top 500)
● Site personalization, 84; 53.2%
● Product recommendations, 126; 79.7%
● Both, 72; 45.6%
Catalog/Call Centers (total of 81 in Top 500)
● Site personalization, 47; 72.3%
● Product recommendations, 66; 81.5%
● Both, 38; 46.9%
Consumer brand manufacturers (total of 66 in Top 500)
● Site personalization, 25; 37.9%
● Product recommendations, 45; 68.2%
● Both, 19; 28.8%

POST GAME: You Can Put Lipstick on a Pig...
Vintage Flame
February 12 2013 12:02AM
You would think with all the new players on both sides of the rosters, that we might be in for a different style of game that we've become so accustomed to when the Flames and the Wild. With guys like Parise and Suter on the Wild, they're bound to be more open and less of the trap right? With the Flames now having a decent power-play, thanks to guys like Wideman and creative playmaking from the likes of Hudler and Cervenka; they'd be able to create more offensive chances for Calgary, right?
yaaaaaawwwwn.. Um No.
Instead it was the same ol' game style that we always see from these two games, which meant it was inevitably going to come down the goaltending. Backstom and Irving. Who would stay
awake alert enough to keep their team in it until the end?
Well, it went all the way to the shoot-out where Irving was just out of his element against the Wild's shooters, and that would be the end of that.
The Rundown
It was pretty much the same story throughout all three periods and even overtime. Most of the play would stay between the two bluelines, creating very little in offensive chances.
As Kent mentioned in the FGD thread, you would have been hard pressed to find either team complete three consecutive passes.
When you are watching a game like that, it's not hard to lose track of what's happened... mostly because you've nodded off.
No worries, you didn't miss anything in the first. Shots were 8-7 in favour of the Mild and they also held the edge in *ahem* scoring chances 4-3. Both teams had one powe-play each, but no one scored; so we went to the intermission knotted at zeros on the scoreboard. See, nothin'.
So that means after the first being a "feeling out" period for the teams, they would come out skating in the second, right? Wrong.
Second verse... same as the first... Both teams exchanged power-plays again, but no, no one scored on those ones either. Calgary didn't exactly take it to the Wild, but they did out play them. However, even though they would double up the Wild's chances (4-2), it would be Minnesota that would wake up their goal judge first. With a little under two minute left in the period, Jarome Iginla would cough up the puck trying to clear the zone along the boards. The puck would land on Devon Setoguchi's stick right in front of Irving. As Irving tried to set for the shot, Setoguchi would throw the puck over to Kyle Broziak. Irving kicked over to cover the new shooter, but really over-played the slide. Brodziak would walk around Leland and put the puck in the empty net.
Sigh.. Shots were 10-10, but with the first major gaffe of the game, the Flames found themselve down 1-0.
The third looked promising when Minnesota would turn the puck over at the Flames blueline. Hudler would break in on the Wild with Cervenka on a 2 on 1, and after looking Roman off, would snipe a wrister past Backstrom to tie the game up.
Both teams would again exchange power-plays, but yeah, no one scored on those ones either. The Flames held the
massive edge in scoring chances 2-1, Dominated the Wild with six shots to their five, and well got a goal for their efforts. So it was off to overtime to see if Alex Tanguay could end it in the first minute once again.
Nope. They might as well have gone right to the shootout, cause nothing happened; like absolutely nothing. One shot apiece and Kent gave the home town boys a scoring chance on their shot... Probably because the remote slipped out of his hand and the channel changed while the Flames were in the offensive zone, so he thought, "What the Hell.."
As it turned out the shootout was over before it started as well. Irving faced Parise and Koivu as his first two shooters and he might as well have been watching from the bench. Like someone said on twitter, if there isn't a book on Leland Irving yet, Parise and Koivu just wrote it.
Why the Flames Lost...
Because Leland Irving was fed to the wolves, otherwise known as Parise and Koivu, and Backstrom faced Blair Jones, Jiri Hudler and Alex Tanguay.
That's not a knock against Tangs or Hudler either. Alex is historically the Flames best shooter and should be out there every shootout. Hudler seems to have take the reigns of this team and is doing everything and more that was expected of him.
We heard before he got here that Jiri was good on the shootout and he sure looked like it with the move he put on Backstrom.
But Blair Jones??? Haven't we seen this show before? Hartley said that Blair has been the best shooter for the team in practice. Practice? We talking about practice now? With all due respect for Hartley and everyone I'm about to slam but... He's relying on Blair Jones in a game situation to go out under those circumstances because he scores against Leland Irving, Danny Taylor and hell, even Kipper... in practice? o_O
Gonna have to go back to Hudler tonight.
He was the only guy that scored for the Flames in the game, and he was the only guyt that scored for the Flames in the shootout.
Leland played way better tonight than he did against Vancouver, I'll give him that, but there is no mistaking just how unprepared he is when it comes to the shootout, and that was the decider tonight.
Hudler's goal in the third was remenicient of Iggy coming down the wing and putting it home with the laser-like wrist shot. The way he looked off Cervenka, freezing Backstrom and putting the puck right where he wanted, is what he has been doing since he got here. Leading by example.
Which takes us back to his shootout goal. Line it up, pulled a sick move and scored when the team needed him to do so. No one else on the team could do that tonight.
Sum it Up
This team is going to go through a lot of uncertainity over thenext few days... maybe as soon as tomorrow.
With the addition of Joey McDonald off waivers, there are just way more questions than answers right now. Is Kipper's injury more sever than we know? Is there a trade in the works now that the Flames have 4 goalies and 8 defensemen on the roster? They are now at 49 contracts, something Feaster and Weisbrod were adamantly against, so obviously there is going to be movement of some kind.
Unfortunately for Irving (depending what side of the #PlayIrv fence you're on), since he has already cleared waivers, he seems the likely choice to be sent to Abby. Is that fair given that Danny Taylor hasn't even played yet? Or.. Is there really no danger of someone claiming Taylor if the put him on waivers?
Feaster has a news conference tomorrow at 10:00 am, so I'm sure many of us will be tuning in with bated breath.
In the end, I still can't get over the use of Blair Jones (sorry BoL) tonight in the shootout. I'm still shaking my head over it and you just have to wonder what the hell is going on with this team. Going back to the beginning of this article, with different personnel, you really expect to see this team address its issues in a different manner than we have seen over the last few years; yet we don't.
Stop putting lipstick on the pig! She ain't pretty, and we're getting tired of the smell!
I'm sorry to everyone who wanted the Flames to win this one!!! (To clyde, Kurt and others wanting losses, I expect my tickets in the mail)
Seriously, almost every Flames game I go to is 2-1 like this one. It's awful.
Also the food is freakin expensive! Every time I go it blows my mind how expensive everything is.
Neither goalie had to make any highlight reel saves, but a quality start is a quality start. To be completely fair, it seemed like Backstrom got a little more help from the post than Irving did. The biggest gaffe of the night was Hartley's. Sending Jones in first was... very Butteresque.
Baertschi and Cammalleri are skating again, so here's hoping they're back in the lineup by Wednesday!
To Schevvy, It's not that I want losses, I want that intellectual honesty we have heard so much about. I have never said I want an Edmonton style rebuild and want to make that clear. I do, however, want to see this aging core of Iggy and Kipper moved. I think development and rebuilding will be stunted as long as they are here. As far as saying Minny is awful and always will be, remember that Granlund, Coyle, Brodin, Suter and Parise have been their core for all of 10-12 games. If we had drafted those 3 and signed Suter and Parise, we would be going crazy in Calgary and be very excited about our future. To Kent, you claim a former NHL player is a blow hard who knows nothing about the game. He knew enough to realize he wasn't talented enough to make it on skill so transformed his game and sacrificed to make it for a short time at least. Generally these type of role players tend to understand the game quite well. Name 3 NHL teams that are worse and/or worse off than the Flames right now. Is it Columbus? They have a future number 1 center on the farm and 3 1st round picks this year that as of now are all lottery plus a potential franchise def on injury reserve. Is it Edmonton? Nope. How about the East. The Islanders? Tavares and Hamonic give them a great deal of hope moving forward. As Craig Simpson said at a fundraiser this year, there is no organization in more of a mess and in more denial than the Flames.
This is a highly flawed team, the NHL is too good a league to have a team with three 2nd lines randomly win their way into contention.
I hate always sounding negative when it comes to the Flames, but their idea of a competitive team isn't at all aligned with the rest of the league. The sad part is that I'm pretty sure they're convinced they're thinking out of the box.
Saturdays and tonight's game were perfectly normal results for this team, and that freakin blows.
February 12 2013, 12:24AM
Feaster's thumb has to be on the detonate button. Two more games and we're at the quarter mark of the season already and fading fast. If we don't win them both then...well, you know.
February 12 2013, 01:26AM
No one is gonna claim Taylor. I don't know why that's even thought of as a risk. Irving was the best shootout goalie in the AHL the last two years running. But this is his first time against guys if of KOivu and Parise's calibre, ever. So I'm not gonna fault him this time.
It's a learning experience for the kid. If he gets sent down, you are gonna see a infant level pout tirade from me. Haha.
Onwards to the struggling Blues.
February 12 2013, 01:33AM
Also it really seemed like the Team is falling back on bad habits an structure learned from Sutter. The d are hesitant and the forwards are dumping the puck instead of passing. Hartley needs to get on them.
February 12 2013, 01:34AM
Stajan had FOUR hits tonight. Weird.
Yeah, no joke. When you see 4 hits in the column next to Matty's name you have to wonder just what the stat guy was smoking and what he considers a hit.
On the subject of Hudler I hope he can keep it up. I was excited when they signed him, despite the big contract and iffy potential. I've always been a fan of his skill level and so far he's brought exactly what was asked for. If he and Cervenka continue to build upon their chemistry they provide the secondary scoring the team has needed forever.
Now if only the team could find themselves some consistent PRIMARY scoring...
February 12 2013, 05:02AM
i think i seen this before. three years ago this was happening and we were told the future looks bright. quit being in denial flamesland, this team is going nowhere faster than clay aikens career. take an honest look around and what do you see? no prospects or youth playing in the show, ok brodie. examine other franchises and they do have hope. iggy was flat out brutal, brutal. time to find some intellectual honesty. lets reward him for past glory and re up him to a 4 year 28 mill deal. maybe win a cup too.
At that game & it was brutal. Was telling my buddy that Minny was brutal & we lost anyway. Irv came way too far out way too soon on shootout, he dared Parise & koivu to deke him & they did. Had no idea where Iggy was all friggin night. Not 1 dominating shift for a7.0mill man. If trading him will cause rioting in the City, then fine, let em walk. Right now I dont think he's worth a Stajan contract. Dallas is way better than Minny & they are going to kick our butts if we put in another stinking effort like this.
Wonder if Irving is a better NHL goalie than AHL goalie? You see it with players quite often because of the quality of their teammates. Strange for a goalie though, but I've actually been impressed with Irving enough to think he should be the back-up.
It won't be until next season that Minnesota starts to put it together, but go easy on Suter. One guy can't fix an entire back end.
Get rid of Jarome and make Hulder Captain.
The goaltending at least has been vastly improved in the last 4 games. That is something. Still not enough wins though.
February 12 2013, 07:24AM
Two things:
- These past two games sure make Backlund seem important.
- I fully support going with the best shooter in practice on the shootout. Making it something the players have to compete for within the group seems like it should promote both confidence and creativity.
What was Hartley doing with the lines in the first and second? Only to go back to the original combos in the third. Splitting up pairs that work like Hudler and Cervenka and Tanguay and Iginla then putting them back together in the third? Not sure about the logic in this. Ben Street on the first line? Trying to send a message? The whole style of the team in the first and second looked nothing like the previous games (except Van when they were chasing the whole game).
And ya, Jones in the shoot out, come on. I like Jones but he can't score.
Oh, and VF, Wild had 2 power plays in the first, Flames had none.
Agree on both points. I was pretty surprised to see Jones out there, but really everybody sucks. If he's shown the best in practice, why would you send someone out you've seen be bad in practice AND in games. I thought Brodie might be a good option too. From what I saw at training camp, he had a little more to offer than most of the regulars.
Missing Backlund is important. There has been little to no energy without him these last two games. But that seemed to start after the Chicago game. They haven't played anywhere close to that level since then. And it was fairly consistent up to that point.
That last comment was @NateBaldwin.
February 12 2013, 07:55AM
Not a lot of bright spots to speak of last night from either team. From an entertainment standpoint this game was a 2 / 10: very bad. Until last night I have liked most of Hartley's decisions, but what was with all the weird line combinations? The first period combos were completely counterintuitive.
Up to the Blue Jackets game I was satisfied that a new era had started. More skill, speed, and creativity appeared to define the team style. Last night was like watching a Sutter run club. I get it - the opposition had something to do with that, but the Flames were completely uninspiring.
February 12 2013, 08:04AM
I have to agree with your suspicions about the Joey MacDonald aquisition. Either Kipprusoff is hurt to a point where he may not hold up after he comes off of IR, or the Flames brain trust is working on a trade. Too many goalies and too many defensemen.
If this is the case, I hope it's a 3 for 1. Irving, Smith and Babchuk out, snd a decent 3 pairing plus a 2013 pick in.
February 12 2013, 08:11AM
You mean onwards to the hot Dallas Stars that have won 3 in a row right? A deep, young, talented Blues team will be fine, especially with Halak back.
I love the flames, I was there last night for that Zzzz-fest I'm a half full kind of guy but I have expected these last two losses based on what I've seen.
Best case we come out of the next seven games 4-3 (beat coyotes and dallas once each, then minn and one other), 7-7-3 will put us likely 12th in the west, 17 games (1/3) into the season. Sadly I think this brutal position will give management and ownership hope and we'll end up in 10th or 11th...
0.500 hockey doesn't help anyone get into the playoffs, especially when it's not entertaining.
February 12 2013, 08:23AM
Iggy didn't have a great game last night, but in his defense:
He just about the game winner on that shot he tipped in the third that hit the post and somehow stayed out...
I would think everyone would be singing a different tune if that went in...
February 12 2013, 08:32AM
Having that said, I would be more than ok with trading Iggy.. (Pittsburgh, St. Louis or Boston)
At the start of the year, if someone had suggested we'd have this record, and be sitting virtually at the bottom of the west, it would not have shocked me. We just aren't good enough. And let's be honest....if we trade away our youth or picks for an aging grinder (please realize that since training camp we have signed a 34 year old grinder, an AHL goalie, and now a 31 year old journeyman goalie) so that we take another stab at 8th, Feaster should be fired. What is awaiting us at 8th anyway? Well, either Vancouver, Chicago, etc. That's what. We have a chance, in this shortened season when there will be more buyers than sellers, to actually get very good value for some players. I mean Jarome, Miika, Cammy, Jaybo, and Sarich. Let's not just piddle around trying to move OUR 4th string goalie, or Badchuk, etc. I will say this again...we just are not good enough. Here is an opportunity to make some changes so we can maybe take on the heavies down the road.
Iggy wins the cup in Chicago this year... ;-)
@meat1 - yes. This.
If Blair Jones was the best in practice then I fully support him doing the shootout. Putting him first is also smart because it's the generally the position with the least pressure attached to it.
Honestly, who would you want to do the shootout instead? Iginla? I mean, I can see a case for putting Baertschi or Backlund in if they weren't injured. But they are.
Realistically, the only other people I can possibly see choosing are Cervenka or Stempniak. Ok, or maybe Brodie. If Jones is better than any of them in the shootout during practice then why would you not choose him?
I think that Iginla was terrible. Why was he on the same line as Hudler and Cervenka. Its like going to a three legged race for teenagers and pairing the best athlete with a 90 year old who needs a walker. Iginla is no longer one of the top three forwards on the team, but because of the Flames so called "Meritocracy" in the organization he is still awarded the top line spot on the team.
Irving played well, and for everybody who is criticizing his shootout performance has obviously never had somebody with skill come in and make moves like those. I guess if Kiprusoff was in net they would have won the shootout; no wait that cant be right because he has not won more than a quarter of his shootouts in the last few years.
But at least we have MacDonald to come to the rescue. (as an aside, thank you to whomever made the comment that the move was a mistake and that the Feast had thought he was making an order for burgers and fries. Hilarious, and quite sadly probably true). MacDonald had good numbers last year in Detroit with Lidstrom playing 35 minutes a night in front of him. I think that if the Flames are expecting any sort of saviour from MacDonald they should have convinced Lidstrom to come out of retirement first.
Terrible move and a stupid decision by the organization. But at least they have shown themselves to be consistent. Two steps forward, and two steps back. But at least there is the chance that in the last 38 games we can have lightning strike in a bottle and have everything come together perfectly so that we can win that esteemed Holy grail of sports and clinch the 8th and final playoff spot (losing out in four straight, but playoff results are not important, only getting in is).
February 12 2013, 09:36AM
"As Craig Simpson said at a fundraiser this year, there is no organization in more of a mess and in more denial than the Flames."
Yea, but, Simpson is an arrogant, ex-Oiler ass! Although he may be right... this time. I still don't like him.
February 12 2013, 10:25AM
Does anyone know if the Feaster presser is streamed anywhere?
February 12 2013, 11:02AM
What was Hartley doing with the lines in the first and second?
To me it looks like Hartley is trying to get Iginla away from tougher match-ups. Tanguay's line saw Parise and Koivu for most of the night until the the third period.
It means Hartley is paying attention to Jarome's struggles and is starting to realize he probably doesn't have a true PvP option.
February 12 2013, 11:04AM
Pike is there and going to write-up the highlights this afternoon.
I think Irv played well & deserved to continue. Was right beside him at the game & I know you have goalie experience. From what I saw. When Parise & Koivu just started to skate Irv went way out of the net. That gave both very good experienced NHL shooters lots of time to not decide whether to shoot or deke, but how they were going to deke him. These guys come down so fast the few seconds they take to size up the situation & decide what they are going to do, impacts execution dramatically. Irv needs to just wait those few seconds before skating out & try to hide his stratedgy as long as possible. Thats like a guy with showing his Ace King face up before the flop. He'll learn, I like Irv & really would like to see him do well.
Last night I did not see any of Hartleys tempo game, biggest problem is they werent executing the little things. When that happens they revert back to what they have been brainwashed these last several years & that's defaulting to Sutter hockey. Not sure what happened on that plane from Columbus to Vanc but this is not the same team I was starting to get excited about with an actual transition game & attacking the opposition in waves. Last night was just a reminder of why I have been advocating Flames cleansing themselves of the old core & let Hartley & Feaster start fresh building a new exciting core. JMO
I totally agree with you. I don't think Feaster knows what he's doing.

@backburner - I'm guessing Simpson wasn't saying the Flames are the worst team now. But in terms of the team on the ice + prospects in the system + contract mess (can you say no trade clause) + draft picks its hard to argue.
Sure the Isles suck and the Jackets are horrendous. But the Jackets have ELITE draft picks and are likely due to get another this year.
The teams you mentioned aren't worse than us in terms of the team going out on the ice right now, but as an organization they probably are in better shape. We have ZERO elite prospects. NONE. And we are trying to get 9-10th place so we can lock up another middling non-elite pick.

(November 20, 2012 – Yuma, AZ) – Mayo Clinic officials today announced Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) as a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network. The collaboration between YRMC and Mayo Clinic physicians will be rolled out initially through Yuma Regional Cancer Center, with opportunities for our physicians to work together in additional specialties in the future.
The Mayo Clinic Care Network extends Mayo Clinic's knowledge and expertise to physicians and providers interested in working together in the best interest of their patients. Yuma Regional Cancer Center physicians will now be able to connect with Mayo Clinic specialists on questions of patient care using an electronic consulting technique called eConsults. YRMC physicians also will have access to Mayo-vetted medical information through the AskMayoExpert database. These tools, in addition to health care consulting, will help YRMC provide the best care for its patients as well as improve its systems and the health of the community.
"We're proud to welcome the Yuma Regional Medical Center care team to the Mayo Clinic Care Network," says Wyatt Decker, M.D., Vice President and CEO of Mayo Clinic in Arizona. "Building a closer relationship with Yuma Regional Medical Center through the Care Network provides an opportunity for our two organizations to work together in new ways to provide specialized care, which ultimately enhances the lives of patients throughout Southwestern Arizona."
"YRMC and Mayo Clinic both believe that healthcare should be delivered as close to home as possible," says Pat Walz, President and CEO of YRMC. "By working together, physicians can improve the delivery of healthcare so patients need to travel outside the region for care only when absolutely necessary."
Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Care Network members share a common philosophy, commitment and mission to improve the delivery of health care. The network recognizes that people prefer to get their health care close to home. The main goal of the network is to help people gain the benefits of Mayo Clinic expertise without having to travel to a Mayo Clinic facility.
The Mayo Clinic Care Network represents non-ownership relationships. Members are like-minded organizations that share a goal of improving the delivery of health care in their communities through high-quality, collaborative medical care.
About Mayo Clinic
Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit worldwide leader in medical care, research and education for
people from all walks of life. For more information, visit www.mayoclinic.org/about/ and www.mayoclinic.org/news.

We caught a look of Replay and Sons Fall 2011 Lookbook and well, safe to say we know what we're getting our favorite little ones this holiday season! They have all of our Replay favorites, but in pint-size versions! The faded, distressed denim gives the jeans an extra bit of flare that goes with all the fun that is kids fashion, without being too overwhelmingly cutesy. Whether it be your standard boot-cut jean, overalls, or jean skirt, these items are all great options for any boy or girl as they are staple pieces that can be mixed and matched. The best thing about this collection though is how easy it is to match the looks to your own style–we mean who doesn't love a good jean skirt and tight combo?

I bought mine off ebay
Could someone direct me towards a company that sells good platform boots for guys? I'm looking for something that will lift the actor up at least 5 inches.
I bought mine off ebay
Do you find it relatively easy to get used to walking in them?
I learned I couldn't walk really fast in them or I would twist my ankle. I actually fell a couple times so just take it slow
I think you might be safer with drywall stilts. Google them. They strap to your leg and provide much better support. Safer IMHO but to each their own. Safety of the actor should be stressed either way.
I used a pair of platform boots for my newest werewolf costume - They are called monster boots....or as we call them at our Halloween Store "Suicide Boots" - 90% of the people that try them on just about kill themselves by rolling an ankle, these boots have NO ankle support what so ever and will cause you to twist your ankle over and over.
The way I fixed mine was I actually installed bracing on them so they are more like stilts. I drilled a hole through the platform part and added a flat piece of steel to both sides that goes up to just under my knee and then added a velcro collar to strap them to my leg - this provided the much needed ankle support and now I can almost run without worrying about breaking my ankle.
If I can find a picture of the boots before I covered them with fur I will post it.
Thanks for all the replies guys!
I saw this tutorial http://www.alliebee.ca/blog/2011/10/...m-boot-part-2/ on making your own platform boots.
What if I were to sort of follow that tutorial, but with a taller, more sturdy boot for better ankle support and maybe make the foam platform taper out wider so I have a larger platform to stand on... anyone think that may provide a safer and easier boot to walk on? And the nice thing about this is that it wouldn't cost much to make so if it doesn't work very well, no big deal!
I like the drywall stilts, but I would prefer boots because they would work better with the costume.
Rolling an ankle can be a serious deal so make sure you have insurance to cover it. Especially if you modify something.
Not saying the mod wouldn't work but I am sayin a haunt has a lot of senerios we don't predict with patrons being drunk and what not.
Well what I mean is, I would make it then test it and ensure it works safely before actually using it in the haunt.

Meanwhile I'm still freezing my skinny arse of here!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x-5sQW ... Tw&index=1
Hi Dimitri,
After using both 9m Renegades and Screamers... Is there any chance of making a kite that is somewhere in the middle of the two ? I love the smooth easy flying characteristics of the Renegade but also the punch of the Screamer... Maybe a Renegade with less rounded or squared wingtips ? The Renegade i think, is under rated as a jump kite as have got some huge air on it.
Just a thought anyway.

Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 528
In a recent book, Pay without Performance: The Unfulfilled Promise of executive Compensation, we critique existing executive pay arrangements and the corporate governance processes producing them, and put forward proposals for improving both executive pay and corporate governance. This paper provides an overview of the main elements of our critique and proposals. We show that, under current legal arrangements, boards cannot be expected to contract at arm's length with the executives whose pay they set. We discuss how managers' influence can explain many features of the executive compensation landscape, including ones that researchers subscribing to the arm's length contracting view have long viewed as puzzling. We also explain how managerial influence can lead to inefficient arrangements that generate weak or even perverse incentives, as well as to arrangements that make the amount and performance-insensitivity of pay less transparent. Finally, we outline our proposals for improving the transparency of executive pay, the connection between pay and performance, and the accountability of corporate boards.

FlamesNation NHL 13 Hockey League Update Spectacular
October 03 2012 11:37AM
Hello Hockey Fans!
So many of you by now are probably fully aware that our FlamesNation GM Connected League on NHL 13 for Xbox is a go. Pride is on the line, as well as my respect, and I don't need to tell you that neither of those things mean anything worthwhile, but go out there and play like it does.
The league is wide open right now, so all of its features are available to you. You can make trades with CPU controlled teams, but know that trades have to be approved by the Commissioner, and if we think you're making what amounts to a ridiculous and stereotypical "video game" trade, it might bet rejected. However all player controlled to player controlled trades will be accepted by the Commish, allowing you to try and Cliff Fletcher as much as you want.
Teams Still Available!
Speaking of CPU controlled teams, even though the league is now live, there are still teams out there, like abandoned puppies, just dying for someone to take them home, and we encourage people to join until we run out of teams. This includes the four of you out there who still need a home due to the teams you requested to control already in play by other members who beat you to the punch.
There are still slots open for Buffalo, Colorado, Detroit, Montreal, Nashville, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and Toronto. Claim one today.
Other than that, just go out there and play. Arik (Florida), Vintage Flame (New Jersey) and myself (Columbus) are all in the league, competing with the rest of you, and we request that you go easy on us, because we're all terrible. Arik is currently the Commissioner, because I thought you could assign more than one. You can't. And my power as commissioner is now gone, which I find heartbreaking. In the meantime, Arik decides on whether you live or die, a truly terrifying gambit if I do say so myself.
Watch out for future updates including, I don't know, standings updates and a good degree of smack talk, along with a Cliff Notes version on the actual team hub within the game itself.
So lace up your joystick thumbs and hit the digital ice!
October 03 2012, 12:51PM
What do you need to do to join? I'd be interested in Philly...
i just hope to win a game, i am very average at the game so i don't think my teams gaa will be that great. great job in organizing guys this will.... sigh probably be the closest thing to a nhl season as we see. one question so do we have to co ordinate game times with other human gms or how does that all work?
October 03 2012, 01:02PM
Join the FlamesNation league online, let us know here what your gamertag is you're ready to go.
Im interested to see who has Stajan.
God oh god I hope its me so I can submit hilarious trade requests.

If anyone puts up an Oilers-esque GOAL-A against me.. I will roast you in an article..
Do it against all three of us, you may find yourself in the next edition of 2 Minutes Hate.
October 03 2012, 01:24PM
Who was stupid, err.. brave enough to take the Oilers and Canucks?
Please tell me it was Wanye that took the Oilers... or his Bastard little Child!!
If anyone puts up an Oilers-esque GOAL-A against me.. I will roast you in an article..

I accept the challenge.
I was also given Alex Edler. I will do it with him.
On a different note, I will be in Hawaii until the 15th. I will do my best to keep up, but feel free to bolt a second manager onto the team to help out or autopilot me for a couple of games.

War NHL 2K7
What does War "___" mean?
I've been listening to Rome on and off for a year and I get the idea, but I don't understand why it's referred to as War?
Jansy15 requested Detroit this morning. Let me know thanks!

What does War "___" mean?
I've been listening to Rome on and off for a year and I get the idea, but I don't understand why it's referred to as War?
It comes from a "motto" if you will that Rome's Jungle adopted. The original saying was "War Eagle"
Check it out here.
This sounds like so much fun!!! I am going to whiz myself if you guys don't start a PS3 league soon!!!! Iiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee! PLEASE!
I will totally make a donation to Lambert's charity if you do. Think of the Children.
Ps. 1) trading with the CPU is lame and will screw people who join later. 2) you will need a mechanism for planning games if you expect the season to progress at a reasonable pace without sim-ing most of the games. 3) trades on the app are processed without comish approval. Best to outlaw these. 4) Wrist shots from the slot work incredibly well and you will yell at your tv.
October 03 2012, 06:04PM
3) didn't know that, I sent a trade request to a human GM though so it shouldn't matter this time.
On 2) start with friending whoever you've got on your upcoming schedule. but short of scheduling league wide 'game nights' I don't have any other suggestions.
October 03 2012, 06:05PM
@Vintage Flame
I'm in a league that organizes games via a Facebook group. Seems to work pretty well.
Oh... And chin up.
So we can start playing our games now?
October 03 2012, 07:41PM
Would you like to commish the PS3 league?
ill take philly if its still open GT= LUUUNCH
yea, i agree that we need a better way of scheduling games with people on your upcoming schedule. but how???
October 03 2012, 10:11PM
I like the Facebook group idea. I was all about to spearhead it and then I realized that none of you are my friends.
In. Request in for Montreal.
October 03 2012, 11:14PM
How about google groups?
I have another player on my team (Dallas Stars) but he claims that he cannot play any games. Anyone know the reason behind this?
I was able to play a game just fine yesterday.
Who is Florida? Im the GM of Tampa Bay and cant my first game.
Chillgoose is my xboxlive name. Let me know!
I'm ready for my matchup against you, Chillgoose. I'm online right now and will be on and off all night most-likely
My gt is BobbyBadHands and would like toronto
Is there going to be a PS3 league?
October 04 2012, 09:41PM

ST. LOUIS In the end, after a five-year marriage that became rocky, the Jets treatment of Mark Sanchez was deplorable.
Breathe deeply, Sanchez haters. You know who you are, because you are everywhere. Based on the inflammatory Twitter reactions I received for voicing this same sentiment Friday about the poor timing of Sanchezs release, Im well aware that statement doesnt sit well with you. Im well aware the Jets made Sanchez a multi-millionaire, made him a star, a regular Page Six item for all the high-profile women he dated. That they drafted him perhaps higher (No. 5 overall) than he should have been with so little starting experience coming out of USC in 2009. That they gave him a ridiculous kiss-and-make-up contract extension in 2012 (with more than $20 million guaranteed) after their flirtation with Peyton Manning became public. I get all that. Hold off on the sad-story violin music for the fallen star who is financially set for life. What I do not understand is why, when the Jets knew all along for months they were going to move on from Sanchez going forward, they felt the need to bleed this thing out until Friday night, two weeks into free agency and with most teams already having addressed their quarterback vacancies.
By doing this, the Jets dramatically reduced Sanchezs options for places to sign. Was that necessary?
You want to make the argument the Jets held onto Sanchez as insurance in case they were unable to sign Michael Vick? The Jets never had any intention of keeping Sanchez. They knew their fan base would revolt if Sanchez ever were under center again.
You want to make the argument it was the Jets prerogative to wait as long as they wanted right up until his $2 million roster bonus deadline arrived on Tuesday before releasing him? Of course it was, but does that make it right?
I get that the NFL, like every other professional sport, is a ruthless business and teams must look out for themselves first. But the way teams treat their players goes a long way toward helping them recruit top players.
A week ago, free-agent cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie chose to sign with the Giants over the Jets after visiting both teams. Maybe it only was about the money for Rodgers-Cromartie, with the Giants offering a sweeter deal. But maybe it was a choice of one organization over the other, too.
Jets general manager John Idzik, for whom the jury remains very much out, has not proven himself to be a very good recruiter. See his failure to add a free agent cornerback to his depleted secondary despite a plentiful market and gads of salary cap space.
The Jets, using the age-old, lame-old public relations ploy when the objective is to attract the least attention possible, announced the Sanchez release on their Twitter account at 6:22 p.m. Friday night with the sports world otherwise immersed in NCAA Tournament basketball.
At 6:26 p.m., the Jets Twitter account sent out a canned Rex Ryan quote, reading: Id like to thank Mark for everything hes done for this team and me personally.
At 6:32, they sent out a picture of Vick signing his one-year, $5 million contract to replace Sanchez.
Classy stuff.
For all the negatives that seem to override anything good he did as a Jet, Sanchez was a good employee.
The Buttfumble?
Not Sanchezs fault, yet it is affixed to his legacy as permanently as that tattoo on Ryans right arm of his wife wearing a Sanchez jersey as a nightie.
When Sanchez was put into that preseason game against the Giants in the fourth quarter last August behind a backup offensive line, after he already had won the starting job and got his right shoulder mangled, how often did you hear Sanchez complain about that publicly?
Never. The injury ended Sanchezs season and, effectively, his career with the Jets. Yet Sanchez, to this day, never has taken a shot at the Jets for their amateur-hour handling of that situation.
As it turned out, amateur hour extended from that 2013 preseason game right up until 6:22 p.m. Friday night.


text: W.Va. man gets life without parole in shooting By The Associated Press December 7, 2012 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- A judge has denied mercy to a man who pleaded guilty to killing his son's estranged wife at a Morgantown store parking lot over a child-custody dispute. Monongalia County Circuit Judge Phil Gaujot made the ruling Friday, meaning 54-year-old Larry Lynn Mitchell of Shinnston will spend the rest of his life in prison. WDTV-TV reports Mitchell pleaded guilty to first-degree murder earlier Friday in the April 21 shooting of 29-year-old Shannon Stafford. Stafford was at the Walmart parking lot to meet Mitchell's son and pick up their 2-year-old daughter, Faith, for a weekend visit.

Jason Gregor
September 29 2011 11:08AM
Eleven has been my favourite number since I can remember. I had short affairs with some higher ups like 17, 19 and 23, but 11 has always been the number that made me feel the most confident. It is strange how a lucky number can impact our psyche or our minds, yet today on the 11th anniversary of my father's passing I have an eerie mixture of confidence and yearning.
Eleven years ago today, my father, William Arthur Gregor, passed away at the young age of 56. Dad had a massive heart attack in his car at a red light in Sherwood Park. He had quit smoking a few years earlier, wasn't a heavy drinker or overweight, but sadly it was his time.
The morning of his funeral I found myself anxious and uptight so I sat down and wrote an email to my close friends. I'm not sure what caused me to write down my thoughts that foggy morning, but once I started typing and released my inner feelings I felt better. In that email I asked my friends for their thoughts and prayers, but most importantly I asked them to tell their fathers they loved them. I hoped that through their actions my Dad would know how much I loved him.
Today, after you've taken the time to read this, I ask that you do the same.
On the first anniversary of Wild Willy's (nickname my brother and I gave him) passing, I sat down and wrote another email. I felt a tad nervous that people might think it was corny or self-serving, because that wasn't my intention, but luckily that wasn't the reaction I received. That year and every year since many people have sent me their own stories filled with heartache, fun-loving memories and words of gratitude.
I've kept many of them, and from time-to-time I go back and read them, and for a short time the void in my heart and soul from Dad's death seems smaller. With every passing year I find that I'm closer to being in the majority, rather than the minority, when dealing with the loss of a parent. Every year someone I've met casually or in passing has lost their father, and often after sending out this letter they send a response outlining how they can relate to my feelings.
It sounds strange, but over the years I've realized those responses soothe my soul. I will tear up reading them, often because their pain seems so much worse than mine, but also because they are so genuine and real.
Too often we feel we are the only one struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one, when it is so obvious that isn't the case.
Sharing those emotions is what we long for, but rarely are we able to express them. Even those who are strong enough to share their feelings frequently still don't do it often enough. Many of us simply bottle up our emotions and decide that we can function while they stay locked away.
Sadly, that rarely leads to happiness.
Writing this email creates a mixture of laughter and heartache, but most of all it fills me with a feeling of undying love for and from my father. The wonderful thing about genuine love is that it truly never goes away, and the actions we show today WILL live in the hearts of our loved ones forever. I'm not sure I believed that until I lost my father.
Today crept up on me much quicker than in previous years. Some years I dreaded thinking about it, because I wanted the pain to subside and not think about him. Other years I bordered on excited as the 29th approached, because I wanted to recall all the joy he brought to my life. This year I really just wanted to be able to speak with him and get some advice.
I'm sure all of you who have lost a loved one feel the same way, but during those rare momentous occasions in life we really yearn for their wisdom, love and guidance.
I met the love of my life, Traci, this year and over the summer I knew she was the one and I proposed ten days ago. We've all felt love at some point in our life, but when you feel that "this is the one" love it is both exhilarating and frightening. I wanted to ask him for some fatherly advice, because I knew he'd have a good response. He met my mom in a post office, got engaged three weeks later and then married four months after that. He knew how to embrace the sweaty palms, butterflies and empty pit in your gut and turn them into positives.
He wasn't afraid to take a chance at love, and for the entire 31 years of my parent's marriage their loved never wavered.
I had some serious questions I wanted to ask him.
How do you really know she is the one?
Why do we speak in a quieter tone or cheesy voice and often toss in a pet name when addressing her?
Will I ever have any closet space?
Do they make blankets where one half is eight inches thick to keep her warm and my half a normal thickness?
Will I actually feel better if I talk about my feelings?
Dad would have had an answer for all these questions, whether they were the right answer is debatable, but he would have had some interesting responses.
Seriously though, the hardest part of death is that it is so final. It leaves us longing for more, especially when we lose a loved one earlier than we expected. I am extremely thankful that even though he couldn't tell me the answers himself, his actions left me with a great blueprint.
My father wasn't afraid to show his love. He never said I love you very often, but he didn't have to because his wife, kids, extended family and friends knew how he felt.
Dad was chatty as hell, but he wasn't great with emotional words. He always bought mom a card for her birthday, their anniversary, holidays or special occasions. The cards always had long, meaningful messages in them, but only two words were his; at the top of the card it said, Pearl and at the bottom, Bill. Nothing else.
One day we stopped at the mall to pick up some stuff. As we walked past a stationary/card store he said he needed to get mom a birthday card, and that I should go pick up whatever we were getting. He said to meet him back here when I was done. Twenty minutes later I walked back to the store and he was still looking for a card. I couldn't believe it.
"What's taking so long," I asked. He looked at me and said, "You can't rush these things. I need the perfect card for her." It took him at least another ten minutes before he picked out a card. While driving home I asked him why the card was so important.
"I'm not good at writing out my feelings, so I need to find a card that tells your mom exactly how I feel." "Why can't you just get a blank card and write out what you feel," I blurted out. "I'm just not good at it, but I know it is important so I take my time until I find one that reflects how I feel about her."
I remembered that story while looking at the chicken scratch I'd scribbled on the card I gave Traci before I proposed. I bought a blank card and wrote what probably turned out to be incoherent gibberish, because I was so nervous. I thought that was the romantic thing to do.
A few days later after the shock of her saying yes subsided, I remembered my mom's reaction when she read cards from dad and how she would always have a big smile; look at him and voice, "Thank you."
It didn't matter that it wasn't his writing, but those words were his true feelings. Dad never wrote the mushy, romantic stuff because that wasn't in his nature, but he showed my mom how he felt daily.
He made her coffee, he scraped the frost off her car every morning before leaving for work, if she worked late he always had dinner waiting for her, and he often bought her flowers. The card normally just read, LOVE BILL.
If you can't write how you feel make sure you show the woman how you feel. Ladies don't fret if your man isn't a future Hallmark-writer, cherish that he takes the time to find a card that expresses for him how he feels about you.
Last year I wrote about the ten life lessons I'd learned from my father, and now as I look ahead to marriage, and maybe fatherhood, I re-read them and asked myself if I was living up to them?
I've found that I need to regularly remind myself about what truly is important in life. It is so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life, and how technology has made it very difficult to find quality time with our loved ones.
How often do you talk to your wife, husband, kids or friends while looking at our phone? Often as they talk we are waiting for a text or thinking about sending one? Most of you might say that's not me, but you're likely guilty of it on some level. If you aren't then your teenagers definitely are, and you know you how frustrated an unappreciated you feel when they do that while you try to talk with them.
Try turning your phone off the minute you walk in the door and leave it off for an hour. Then try two hours and so on. You'll find that you actually communicate with your loved ones and listen to what they say.
Traci and I had to agree to shut our phones off, or leave them at home if we went out to dinner or a movie. The crazy thing is we realized we rarely missed anything. None of the texts, tweets or BBM messages was life changing. If you feel naked or freak out without your phone, maybe it's time to try some actual human interactions.
I'm not saying we go phoneless every day, but the times we agree to shut off our phones we seem to connect much better. There are no distractions and that helps.
Dad never had to deal with these issues, so I'm not sure how he would have reacted, but every era has had their share of technological temptations, so try to ensure that you are controlling them and not the other way around.
Ironically one of my proudest moments of this past year was when I received a text from my friend Paul. He never met my father. He sent me a short text that I still have saved in my phone, "I scraped off Leah's (his fiancé) windows this morning. Thought of your dad. He'd be proud."
I hope he was, but I know I sure was. My eyes welled up with pride and nostalgia because I pictured him scrapping mom's windows, and I thought about how much she missed him doing that for her. Never forget to do the little things to show your wife you care, and don't forget to say thank you if your spouse continually does those small special acts of kindness.
Over the years I've had many fathers send me emails stating how they hope they are making an impact in their children's lives like dad did to me. This annual letter has taught me that most men want to know they've positively influenced their kids, but it seems many of us forget to tell our dad's that.
One of my biggest regrets was I never told him. He knew I loved him, but I'm not sure he knew how much I learned from him. Unfortunately I'll never get that chance, but hopefully you do.
It seems society focuses more on ensuring we tell our moms we love them, because they like to hear it. Of course they do, but rarely, if ever, do sons tell our fathers. I'm not sure why that is. We did it as kids. Your young kids do it now, and when they look at you and say, "I love you daddy." it melts your heart. Regardless of you age your father, while he might not show it or say, still yearns to hear those words.
So why do we assume that as we get older our fathers don't need or want to hear that anymore. Few guys would ever ask their kids to say it, so even though your father probably knows you love him, why not tell him? More importantly why not tell him how much he has taught you and how much you appreciate him.
I think you'll be surprised at his reaction. He might not tell you directly, but he'll tell his wife and your mom will likely tell you how much it meant to him. The next time you tell him, he'll likely be able to tell you himself how much it means to him. Dads if you are reading this don't be afraid to thank your kids. They all know you're a softie at heart even if you pretend you're the tough, rugged guy all the time.
I write this email with the hope you can help my father know how much he meant to me, and how much I truly miss him. I hope through your actions of love towards your father today, and in the future, that he will somehow see that eleven years later I still miss him dearly.
This year I ask you to take the time to tell your father how much he means to you. Thank him for taking you to hockey, football, soccer, swimming etc. Tell him his work ethic is inspiring. Thank him for showing you how to treat a lady properly.
If you and your father don't have a great relationship right now, ask yourself if what ever you are arguing over is truly worth it? Don't wait until he is gone to mend the fence. The first step might be awkward, scary or downright gut wrenching, but you'll feel better for it.
Keep in mind he comes from an older generation, and likely one that taught men they were weak if they expressed any emotion, so you'll probably have to make the first move. He likely wants to mend the fence, but is to scared to say or do anything.
If you are lucky enough to be able to see you father today, or this week, give him a hug or just spend some time together. At the very least call him and ask how he's doing. Dads might never say it, but they love hearing from their kids. If you are in a different city, give him a call and tell him you love him.
Many of you are now fathers, and I encourage you to always show an interest in your children's lives. I think the true measure of a man is showing those he loves that they have his support and love, no matter the situation. While your kids might not say it to you, we all loved looking in the crowd and seeing the face of our father or mother at our games, concerts, recitals or at the dinner table when they asked how school was.
It is comforting and the best gift you can give your kids is YOU. Don't forget that when you are busy "providing" for them.
Thank you for reading this, and for taking the time to follow through on my request.
For those who have suffered the loss of your father, recently or at any time, accept my deepest sympathies. If your father is not with us anymore, make sure you call your mom instead, because I guarantee the void in her heart is much deeper.
Dad, I love you dearly. I miss your smile, zest for life, laugh, your undying love and your life lessons. If you could let me know about those magic blankets with two different thicknesses I'd be grateful.
Please watch over all of my friends and family and especially your true love, Mom.
Love your son, Jason
I leave you with a song from Phil Collins with a message most fathers would want their kids to know. "Look over your shoulder and I'll be there."

Sympathies on this difficult day.
What a difference a 26 a day makes. Wish my dad was half the father yours was.
September 29 2011, 04:49PM
Like a few other people I've been reading for a while but never posted, but after reading this I'm feeling kinda selfish. When my dad gets brought up in conversation I usually think of all the fights and arguments over nothing. Stupid. This reminded me of him driving from Fort McMurray to Lloydminster, with only one day off work, to watch me play in a tournament. The game ended, and back to work he went. It's never been said between us, but I love you dad, I hope you know it.
September 29 2011, 05:25PM
Gregor, you get me everytime. Luckily no one's at the office to see me wiping the tears. What a tribute to your Father. If it's in the cards for you, you'll be a great Father yourself because you learned from a great man.
September 29 2011, 06:28PM

Jason, my old man and I have now made it a tradition to read this post every year (2010 and today) and then talk on the phone after. He lives in Red Deer and my wife, little girls and I are on the Lower Mainland. He almost passed away from a massive heart attack 6 years ago at the age of 54, thank God he is still with us. Thank-you for this. I just told him tonight what he means to me and how much I love him. He is from the old generation, where the men don't talk that way......That doesn't seem to matter any longer.Look forward to every post from you on the 29th of September.
September 29 2011, 10:44PM
This is what I love about the Nation. It's not just a blog about hockey, it's a family and there are blogs about life. Thanks for sharing Jason and I will make sure to let my dad know what he means to me.
Marty and jason both your dads would be proud of you I am sure of that. Amen
September 29 2011, 11:25PM
Best piece of advice I can give you for your upcoming marriage is don't wait to have kids. Continue your fathers legacy and learn that he already knew everything you did not tell him or wish you could tell him.
By the way Gregor, what makes you such a good host on the radio is that your not narrow minded and singularly focused. This article further proves that you have empathy and character. Please keep up the great work.
September 30 2011, 01:00AM
Lost mine almost 5 years ago. It was a difficult relationship at times but one that was always worth having. Funny I didn't truly understand a lot of things he told me until I raised my own family. Then it all became so much clearer. Thankfully in between some of the struggles we had a really good time on other occasions. He was right more often than I ever gave him credit for. Sure happy that Mom is still around, remarried to a really good guy....
Wipes eyes. Your gonna be OK Gregor. Loved your put the phone away advice the most. Do that with your kids too. My relationship with my kids changed when I gave in to the pressure of giving them cell phones in grade 12. I think they might have been the last kids to get a cell phone, or so I was told.
September 30 2011, 09:00AM
As always Jason I look forward to this article and it's message. I'm taking my father to my alumni hockey game this weekend in Three Hills with my wife and kids. I will certainly let it be known on that drive down how thankful I am that my dad sacrificed a lot to make sure I could go to a good school and the years of putting me through hockey.
Jason, you a leader in this society. I wonder how many men needed to hear from someone like you that it was ok to have and some feelings. Props to you!
"I write this email with the hope you can help my father know how much he meant to me, and how much I truly miss him. I hope through your actions of love towards your father today, and in the future, that he will somehow see that eleven years later I still miss him dearly."
I hope you know (i'm sure you do) that your father is proud of you. The honesty in this paragraph stoped me in my tracks! When you are a father you will see the love in a child eyes as they look at you, and up to you... Jason he knows don't worry.
You have my thoughts and prayers. Your friend Steve

Box score
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Billy Eisenreich tallied three goals and two assists and freshman goalie Sam Grinberg came off the bench to record 11 saves, leading the Bucknell men's lacrosse team to its third victory in a row, 12-11 over Drexel in a non-league game Tuesday afternoon at Vidas Field. Todd Heritage and David Dickson both added two goals and two assists for the Bison, who are now back to level on the season at 3-3.
Bucknell jumped out to a 4-0 lead, and after Drexel scrambled back into the game, the Bison surged back ahead with another 4-0 in the third and fourth quarters to go up 12-9. The Dragons (2-5) pulled with 12-11 with two scores in the final 90 seconds, but Bucknell was able to close it out in yet another high-scoring affair.
Aaron Prosser had three goals and two assists for Drexel, which outshot the Bison 54-27. It was a 7-7 game at the half, but Grinberg, who had seen brief action in the first half, came on at the start of the third quarter and made 11 saves with only four goals against for his first career win.
Nick Gantsoudes got the Bison off to a great start with two goals in the game's first four minutes. Heritage and Dickson followed later in the opening period, and Bucknell was off to a 4-0 start.
It was still a four-goal lead at 6-2 when the Dragons got back into it with three goals in just over four minutes. Ben McIntosh made it a 6-5 game with 7:02 left in the second quarter. Tom Black got one back for the Bison at the 5:44 mark, but Drexel tied it up when Kyle Bergmen and Deven Thomas scored just seven seconds apart.
Bucknell struck first in the second half on a Chase Bailey goal, but moments later Drexel took its first lead of the day on consecutive goals by Prosser and Andrew Vivian, these coming just 47 seconds apart. The Dragons' lead was short-lived however, as the Bison surged back ahead with four straight strikes, two of them coming from Eisenreich.
Just after the Vivian goal that gave Drexel the lead, Ryan Gutowski won the faceoff, and on that possession Dickson fed Eisenreich for the tying goal. Then with 2:21 left in the third quarter, Heritage scored off an assist from Bailey to give the Bison the lead back for good.
Drexel started the fourth quarter a man up, but Grinberg made a save on McIntosh to help kill the penalty, and after the Bison cleared the ball Eisenreich scored off another Dickson assist to make it 11-9. Jackson Place then picked up the ground ball from a Wills Miller faceoff, and with 12:14 to play Billy Mattimore scored his first of the day off a Bailey feed to give the Bison a 12-9 cushion.
They would need all of that three goal lead, as Ryan Belka scored with 1:24 left and Prosser added another with 51 seconds left. Drexel won the ensuing faceoff but Bailey intercepted a shovel pass before the Dragons could get set up for a last shot.
Bucknell handled the ball well, going 15-for-15 on clears and committing only 13 turnovers. Drexel captured 16 of the 26 faceoffs.
This was the first meeting between the two teams since 1995, and Bucknell now leads the series 17-2.
The Bison are back in action on Saturday at home against Patriot League rival Lafayette at 3 p.m.
