By Richard L. Fricklas
Many of you are trying to keep up with what's going on in the evolving world of roof systems, but are finding that the subject is becoming increasingly complex.
So this edition will update you on a couple of hot issues.
Proposed Changes to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
At any given time, ASHRAE has many proposals under consideration for changes in their existing documents. These changes may be adopted, rejected, or modified, and those that are adopted will appear in the next edition of 90.1 (expected in Fall 2010).
One of these proposed changes concerns thermal performance of metal roof systems.
ASHRAE has divided the United States into eight climate zones and published minimum R-values (for insulation) and maximum U-values (for the roof assembly) for each of these zones. Further information can be found at Professional Roofing or ASHRAE.
On Jan. 12, 2010, ASHRAE issued an announcement concerning a proposed change for the thermal efficiency of insulated metal building roof systems: "Studies by a metal building task group found that typical installation practices of single- and double-layer assemblies in Appendix A act to compress (batt) insulation and negatively affect the assembly's thermal performance."
The proposed changes also include a refinement of the definitions of the available metal building roof insulation systems
Single Layer. The rated R-value of insulation is for insulation installed perpendicular to and draped over purlins, and then compressed when the metal roof panels are attached. A minimum R-3 thermal spacer block between the purlins and the metal roof panels is required unless compliance is shown by the overall assembly U-factor.
Double Layer. The first rated R-value of insulation is for insulation installed perpendicular to and draped over purlins. The second rated R-value of insulation is for unfaced insulation installed above the first layer and parallel to the purlins, and then compressed when the metal roof panels are attached. A minimum R-3 thermal spacer block between the purlins and the metal roof panels is required unless compliance is shown by the overall assembly U-factor.
Liner System. A continuous membrane is installed below the purlins and uninterrupted by framing members. Uncompressed, unfaced insulation rests on top of the membrane between the purlins. For multilayer installations, the last rated R-value of insulation is for unfaced insulation draped over purlins and then compressed when the metal roof panels are attached. A minimum R-3 thermal spacer block between the purlins and the metal roof panels is required unless compliance is shown by the overall assembly U-factor.
For non-residential metal building systems (per ASHRAE 90.1-07), the current minimum R-values are:
Climate Zones 1-7 R-value=19.0
Climate Zone 8 R-value=13.0 + R=19.0
Since a minimum of R-19 thermal insulation is required for zones 1-7 in 90.1-07 and R-13 + R-19 for zone 8, tests conducted at the University of Illinois and Oak Ridge National Laboratory indicated that the typical installation methods for single-layer, over-the-purlin insulation would yield higher U-factors than previously assumed in Standard 90.1 due to additional compression of the glass fiber batt insulation between the purlins. This proposed revision changes the assumed U-factor for those systems as they are "typically" installed. In the proposal, ASHRAE also developed new equations that can be used to calculate the performance of over-the-purlin installations that have more insulation draped between the purlins, which would yield better thermal performance.
It should be noted that all forms of construction would undergo significant increases to the required thermal insulation due to the U.S. Department of Energy and ASHRAE's desire to improve energy efficiency across the board.
Below is a summary table that shows the new roof insulation requirements for all non-residential forms of construction, which are slated to be approved for the 2010 edition of ASHRAE 90.1:
Climate Zone
Above Deck c.i.
Metal Building
25 +11
Attic and other
When retrofitting an existing metal building to bring it up to the forthcoming ASHRAE insulation requirements, options might include:
Grasp the alternative of coating the existing metal roof to increase its albedo and emissivity. A reduction in required thermal insulation may be allowed in climate zones 1-3 (hot zones, for air-conditioned buildings).
The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) published Energy Design Guide for Metal Building Systems. It covers metal building systems and applications, energy code fundamentals, cool roofs, PV panels, and much more. It can be purchased directly from www.mbmamanual.com.
PVC and the Environment
In PVC Roofing, I mentioned concerns with PVC and the environment. As a follow-up, on March 3, 2010, the Green Building Council of Australia announced that its new system for rating the PVC plastic should be in full force by April 2010. Green Star Executive Director Robin Melton says the old rating "effectively encouraged using alternatives to PVC-based floorcoverings, pipes, and other products." The revised credit will "promote the use of PVC products, providing they meet best-practice sustainability criteria."
Wind Calculations
With assistance from Wanda D. Edwards, Director of Building Code Development, Institute for Business and Home Safety; Jay Crandell, ARES Consulting/ARMA; and Peter J. Vickery, Applied Research Associates, highlights of these changes in ASCE-7-10 follow:
Three-second-gust wind speeds have been changed to ultimate wind speeds. In changing to ultimate wind speed, the return period on the wind map based upon the importance of the structure has also changed. Load factors will no longer be used, so there are no changes to wind loads. However, based upon the modeling, wind speeds in some areas are lower. The windborne debris region is smaller in some areas. The modeling, which is done by ARA, is based on several new factors. The modeling reflects that the degradation of the storm as it hits landfall is greater than once thought to be, the intensity of the storm as you move from the eye decreases more than was once thought to, and many more points were used in the modeling. In brief:
Keeping Up
Since there will be an incubation period before these changes reach local building codes, much more information will appear in the next several months in these newsletters.
Consider having one member of your staff focus on roofing. The designated member should attend at least one technical symposium on roofing technology every year.

is any building or structure, or part thereof, that is used (or intended to be used) for the purpose of human habitation. It can be of a permanent, temporary or even mobile nature and includes structures such as motels, hotels, hospitals, prisons, motor homes, huts, and tents.
At the highest level, dwellings are classified as private or non-private. A private dwelling accommodates a person or a group of people, but is not available to the public. Included are: houses, flats, and apartments; residences attached to a business or institution; baches, cribs and huts; garages; caravans, cabins and tents; vehicles; vessels; or dwellings of the above types that are under construction.
All other dwellings are non-private and are available to the public. They may be available for use either generally, or by virtue of occupation or study, special need, or legal requirement. Such dwellings may have facilities (such as a dining room) which are for shared use. These dwellings include: hotels and motels; guest houses and boarding houses; hostels; public and private hospitals; homes for the elderly; educational, welfare, religious and charitable institutions; prisons and penal institutions; defence establishments; work camps, staff quarters and seasonal quarters; motor camps; and other communal dwellings. If this type of accommodation includes units that are designed for the exclusive use (temporarily) of one or more people, the units are considered to be part of the non-private dwelling and not separate non-private dwellings. Private residences that are attached to non-private dwellings are, however, considered to be separate private dwellings.

Remarks By Achim Steiner at Opening of 12th Special Session of UNEP Governing Council
Your Excellencies, President of the Republic of Kenya Mwai Kibaki, Honourable Ministers Responsible for the Environment, Leaders of Civil Society, Delegates, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen,
We meet here at the Headquarters of UNEP some four months before the UN Conference on Sustainable Development or Rio+20. Rio+20 is a moment to take stock of the past 20 years of sustainable development - a moment too, to deliver the means of implementation for a very different century in a world of seven billion people.
This Special Session is also about taking stock and equally about supporting Rio+20 to achieve real, meaningful and decisive outcomes that can scale-up and accelerate the transformations that have been emerging across the globe.
While Rio+20 takes stock of two decades, our meeting this week in a sense takes stock of four decades.
The young people who sang to you this morning from the Swedish School, joined by peers from the International School of Kenya and Kenton College, link to UNEP's history and the search for a sustainable world since Stockholm 1972.
The secretariat and the staff of UNEP 2012 have made extraordinary eff orts to capture the past and to remember our collective journey here in Kenya and internationally as part of this 40th anniversary, year-long celebration.
In and around Gigiri you will see exhibitions of photographs with some of the famous personalities and people who have come to UNEP in search of solutions or to provide their wisdom and insight into the challenges of their time.
Kenneth Kaunda, the fi rst President of Zambia and George Bush senior the then vice president of the United States; Pope John Paul II; the late Wangari Maathai and only last month Gisele Bündchen, the current face of fashion, environmentalist and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador.
I am delighted that three out of four former UNEP Executive Directors are with us too - two men and a woman who had their struggles and their successes running this institution on behalf of you honourable ministers and UN member states.
If you have a moment during your busy schedule, take a stroll among the beautiful gardens here and marvel at the trees, many of which were planted by your predecessors and by presidents, prime ministers and personalities from across the globe.
As part of the 40th anniversary, we have produced a Guide to the Famous Trees of Gigiri to aide and illuminate your journey and focus your refl ection.
Meanwhile there are posters and banners - and in addition a special web site - chronicling the milestones and achievements of 40 years of environmental policy-making and law by environment ministers acting through this and related fora.
The establishment of CITES which now assists to conserve and protect 30,000 threatened species; the Montreal Protocol and its phase - out of ozone-damaging chemicals and an idea, quite literally born round the back of these very rooms to establish an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to name just three.
My policy statement later will look back but mainly look forward-but I dwell a little bit here on the history of UNEP for two reasons.
One, because in a busy, challenging and increasingly fast-paced world it is all too easy to forget what has been achieved in 40 years - in part because governments change, memory fades, the threads linking decisions taken in these very rooms with successes on the ground become frayed.
And two: Because as the Spanish philosopher George Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
Your Excellencies, Honorable Ministers, ladies and gentlemen, that is a luxury we do not have given what the science tells us is happening to our world.
In celebrating the past let us now look to the future. In remembering history, let us now look to history-in-the making as we pursue the Road to Rio+20 and the opportunities it may bring for truly realizing sustainable development and fulfi lling the vision of Stockholm and Rio four and two decades ago.
Thank you.

Episode two of Real Housewives of New York City season four rolled around last night, and it was, like the premiere, unbelievable. Last week, we thought the marriage equality event was Alex's thing, but this week, we find out Sonja wants to make it about her. Sonja is a broken record, talking about how she's tickled pink that she's the "Grand Marshal" of the event, and Alex is a broken record, going on and on about gay marriage. We get it! You would think the way Alex kept talking about it that the event was about marriage equality! Oh, wait… it was. Check out my favorite scenes from this week's episode.

The SYAE Podcast: A Season Preview
Dimitri Filipovic
January 15 2013 09:17AM
"I'd be a lot more comfortable if you just asked Dimitri and Jeff these questions instead."
Short. Sweet, but still a little rugged in an intriguing way. All business. Definitely taking nothing off of the table.
You might think that I'm talking about Andrew Ebbett, but in this particular instance, I'm not. Instead I'm referring to the latest edition of the So You're an Expert podcast, in which Jeff Angus joined me to preview the season that's nearly upon us.
You'll notice that it's a short episode (hovering around 15 minutes in length), and that's because we just don't know very much at the moment as it relates to the two biggest talking points surrounding the team - the Roberto Luongo trade saga, and the opening down the middle on the second line. But we did our best to broach the subjects, despite the potential for the entire discussion to be deemed obsolete at any moment.
We also took a look at the two depth defensemen signings, and meandered around the Northwest Division.

Thanks for listening!

Skip to comments.Jesuit University Refers Students to Abortion Mills
Posted on 12/04/2002 9:51:50 AM PST by pseudo-justin
It seems that the University of San Francisco -- a college in the "Catholic" and "Jesuit" tradition-- is now in the business of referring students to Planned Parenthood and other abortion mills. See for yourself:
(click on Source URL)
Most Rev. William J. Levada firstname.lastname@example.com
California Province Jesuits firstname.lastname@example.com
Stephen A. Privett S.J. firstname.lastname@example.com
yes, to both of the above. The California Province is the most decadent of all the S.J. provinces. The same province was also recently busted because some priests were molesting the mentally retarded kitchen help.
Normally I don't advocate the use of nuclear weapons, but...
I was told by the Supervisor of this "Holy Innocents" Organistation , A Catholic Charities Organistation (located right next to Sacred Heart Church in Portland, Maine)that I had to "learn to deal with my issues about abortion," but that "Holy Innocents" would not only not refer to Project Rachel, they would continue to refer pregnant clients to Planned Parenthood for services.
I followed-up by asking if we should, similarly, refer our suicidal men to "The Hemlock Society" and the meeting became less than productive from then on.
I made my usual compliants up the chain of command and nothing was done. This was back in the 1980's.
I 'spose letters won't hurt but "How long, Lord?"<>
"I am referring your email to Dr. Margaret Higgins, the Vice President for University Life. Student health services are directly under her. I expect that you will receive a response of her office regarding your concern about Planned Parenthood's being accessible through USF's website. I appreciate your calling this to our attention.
Stephen A. Privett, SJ"
Well, now it is time to send Dr. Margaret Higgins an e-flood of fraternal correction before she even hears from Fr. Privett:
What an awful state the Jebbies are in. They need to clean house.
I sent mine, and bcc'd to the right folks so that it will get sent out all over too.
Yes, it is true of virtually every Jesuit college. Before he wrote "Goodbye Good Men," Michael Rose exposed the unbelievable heresy being taught to all freshmen in Theology 101 at Xavier University in Cincinnati. It went beyond the usual touchy-feely stuff to outright denial of every element of the New Testament. And the chairman of the department belonged to the execrable Daniel Maguire's "Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights."
Folks need to vote with their wallets and not send their kids to these institutions! A friend of our has had two sons go through a supposedly Catholic college, Fairfield U. in CT. He says neither one of them goes to Church anymore! Come to think of it, Fairfield is also a Jesuit Univ.; do I detect a pattern here?
BTW, Fr. Fessio is now Chancellor of a NEW Catholic University. It is Ave Maria University, and it will be built, along with a new town, also called Ave Maria, near Naples FL. It is designed to be a University with decidedly orthodox Catholic underpinnings. I hope it will be well supported by Catholics all over the country, but especially in the South!
I made the monumental error of sending my 2 oldest boys to a Jesuit high school. I knew the Jesuits were pretty liberal these days, but my grandfather had graduated from a Jesuit high school, as had my father, my self and my brothers. I wanted the tradition to continue.
If I had any idea how bad it would be, I never would have done it. The religion class was using Daniel Maguire as an expert in moral theology. This is the guy from Marquette (another Jesuit university) who was the most famous pro-abortion priest until he left the priesthood and got married. Then he got divorced and married again. But his first wife would follow him around to his speaking engagements and call him a "spiritual rapist." He tried to get an injunction to stop her, but the judge ruled that he couldn't prevent her from attending events that were open to the public.
I documented all the evidence on Maguire (there was lots more), and sent it to the Religion teacher and asked him to stop using Daniel Maguire as a teacher of moral theology. He refused to do so.
At the graduation ceremony, the obviously "light in the loafers" priest-president told us parents that the big accomplishments of the past 4 years were increasing affirmative action and being more open to homosexuality.
As I mentioned on another thread,
we're now home-schooling and I'm working on getting these two back into the life of faith, but it's going to be a lot of work to make up for the huge mistake of sending them to a Jesuit school.
I keep on top of the school -- of which about 25% of the children are Catholic because there is no nearby Catholic school -- to make sure that no teacher is anti-Catholic (or at least teaching it) and I also make sure that my girls have a solid understanding of the Catholic faith so that if something comes up, they will come to me with questions.
Anyway, the primary reason we sent them to this school was because it was conservative. We didn't have to worry about environmental propaganda or social liberalism or anything else. They teach a solid moral foundation. While their bible is missing seven books (and parts of two others!), my girls are getting a solid background in Scripture ... something many Catholic schools don't even do!
I don't know what I'm going to do for high school. I'm hesitant about keeping them at the generic Christian school because high school is the time all their friends will be "accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior", yada yada, and I don't want them to get sucked into that, but we have four Catholic high schools in the area: two all girls, one co-ed (but in a bad area) and one Jesuit (we have a younger son as well). Maybe we'll move and I'll have more choices ... I don't know.
Until then ...
You would deflect/deny such a close relationship with Christ? What's wrong with you?
But, reading back to my post, I realize that what I wrote sounded derogatory, and I apologize for that. I have many Protestant friends who are good and Christ-filled people. I simply believe that Protestants are missing out on the fullness of Christian faith.
God bless.
From what I hear from priests in Levada's diocese he is always in Rome getting friendly with everyone. His goal is to be appointed to head one of the important Congregations.
He may be unwilling to take on USF because that would indicate to Rome that all is not perfect in his diocese.
As to the fulness issue you mentioned, I was born and raised RC in the Dominican traditions through HS. Gotta tell you that I never had any relationship with the Lord no matter how many masses, novenas, sacraments I was a part of. It never really caught up with me until my early thirties, after I was married with 3 kids and a successful career. It wasn't until I came to grips with life's basic questions that I realized that I really could know Jesus like the apostles did. I wanted that. That's when I finally got serious with God. My whole life changed when I finally asked Jesus to come into my life, sit on my heart's throne and make Himself real to me. WOW!!!! That was 19 years ago. It was a life-changing experience :)
However, I stayed in the Catholic Church and have found the fullness and richness of the faith that I never knew growing up. It may have been bad Catechisis, or the fact that I was never made to go to Church and had no one in my life who was religious, or whatever, but I did make a conscious decision to go back to Church and I have felt more complete now than I did in the first 30 years of my life.
When I went to confession for the first time since my First Holy Communion, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders, and Jesus was truly with me, at that moment. It was an awesome experience.
God bless.
"Thank you very much for bringing this important matter to our attention. I have scheduled a series of meetings with the people in charge of student health care to discuss the criteria used in deciding to include links to Planned Parenthood. Based on those meetings, we will make a decision on the accessibility of information.
Margaret M. Higgins"
Obviously, they know they have a problem --if only a P.R. problem. At any rate, thanks to all who sent e-mails, and if you have not, please send one. The message is getting through--at least it is echoing around in some hollow heads. I mean if you need a meeting to figure out that this is an attack on the dignity of the human person, then heads must be hollow indeed.
As for Pbear8's claim that Levada is trying to climb the ladder, well, it does not follow that we should not swamp him with e-mails. God will judge Levada based on how Levada responds to our e-mails, and He will judge us based on whether we write to Levada at all. Sins of omission are possible on all sides of this one
And as for F16Fighter's claim that this is a sign that the Underworld is active in the Catholic Church...well, duh. The devil is prowling about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. F16Fighter seems to think that Protestants are exempt from Peter's warning.
great idea Diago
Here is the e-mail address for California Right to Life:
if anyone knows the e-mail addresses for other relevant groups or outlets, please post them
Don't expect much if anything from this. This is babel-speak. She really means that she will begin developing a list of reasons for including Planned Parenthood links. Then she will publish that list. Link stays.
Not only does SCU tout that one of their links will connect you to Planned Parenthood, their whole health links section is full of new age anti-intellectual nonsense! :-( Here it is: SCU links
I first sent the link to some Jebbie friends of mine-- who are solid. So they were pissed. They sent word to other Jebbies, who sent word to others. It is flying all over the assistancy now, so I hear, and so now there is going to be an internal fight in the S.J. Soon, they hope, Neuhaus will get word of it, and so it might go into the Public Square of "First Things". At any rate, recently a good Jesuit at Saint Louis University -- another Jesuit school--learned that SLU had Planned Parenthood links on their website and he raised hell. The links are gone now... What we need is bad publicity pressure from without and S.J. pressure from within. Then maybe...

Is Nik Kulemin the odd-man out?
Cam Charron
September 10 2013 09:27AM
The situation is very clear: the Toronto Maple Leafs don't have the salary cap space to sign both Nazem Kadri and Cody Franson unless they a) move some salary or b) Dave Nonis is secretly a wizard. Barring the latter option, it makes sense to explore the names of players it makes sense to move. The preference is John-Michael Liles, but I'm getting a little antsy seeing Nik Kulemin's name pop up ever so often. His name has been dangled as trade bait every day for the last God-Knows-When.
Kulemin is a most interesting player. While there's a bit of excitement for Mason Raymond joining the Leafs in training camp, Kulemin has been a 30-goal scorer more recently than Raymond has been a 25-goal scorer. Their games are different—Kulemin is a more physical player while Raymond's talents (before his injury) lay in puck-possession, controlling the game in the offensive zone, and playmaking.
He's worth $2.8-million this season, but is stuck behind an excellent contingent of top six wingers headed into training camp: Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul, David Clarkson and James van Riemsdyk. He's under contract for one more year and $2.8-million isn't what you want to pay a third liner in a cap crunch year. Let's explore. Yay.
From Sean Gentille at the Sporting News:
Kulemin's a useful player; he, Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur played together under Ron Wilson, and Wilson used them in a way that maximized their talents. Randy Carlyle, for whatever reason, wasn't interested in that, and not coincidentally, Grabovski and MacArthur are both already gone.
Signing Kadri and Franson for a total of less than $5 million, which is what the Leafs would have to do now to fit under the cap, would be a major coup. It's also clearly what they're shooting for—but it probably shouldn't be counted upon.
So, assuming some team is willing to acquire Kulemin without sending some (or any) salary back to Toronto, replacing him with Raymond at, say, $800,000 would create $2 million in space. That move might not make the Leafs better, but it would leave them with a little less than $7 million to deal with Kadri and Franson.
I would obviously prefer to keep Kulemin. I wrote passioned defences of him last summer and mentioned him as a big player that could be the Leafs' "guy in the top six with size" unicorn as opposed to opening up the wallet for Clarkson. Despite his usage last season, playing some of the toughest minutes in hockey alongside Mikhail Grabovski, Kulemin put together 1.8 points per 60 minutes, the third highest rate of his five-year career, increasing his overall average. His shot rate has gone to dust in the last two seasons, falling from 7.4 shots per 60 in his 30-goal campaign to 6.2 to 5.6, that last number being 172nd out of 208 forwards with at least 500 even strength minutes last season.
That said, Kulemin's defence is a bit of terrific. Grabovski had one heck of a tea party without Nik Kulemin on the ice last season, falling to a gaudy 38.3% Corsi rate (Corsi rate = percentage of overall shot attempts that went the Leafs' way with Grabovski on the ice without Kulemin). It's tough to quantify defence, since a good defensive play is, by definition, a play that never happened (ie: the absence of a shot, scoring chance, or goal by the other team) but I'm comfortable in suggesting that not a lot of players would have puck-possession numbers similar to Kulemin in the situations he faced.
How to tell a player faced extreme situations? His name is easily discernible on a player usage chart that has a zillion names on it. The vertical y-axis represents relative quality of competition (Kulemin's was the highest in the NHL among regular forwards) and the horizontal x-axis represents the percentage of faceoffs started in the offensive zone:
I don't think he's replaceable by Raymond, because Raymond, coming off a series of injuries including a back injury that hurt him in virtually every measurable category, needs sheltered minutes and a scoring role to get back to where he can be. I don't think playing alongside Jay McClement or David Bolland is the right fit, since that requires moving the puck out of his own end a lot and blocking shots. Raymond's overall shooting percentage didn't fall down too much post-injury, so the sensible thing to do would be to play him in situations that maximized his shots, like a sheltered offensive role.
Twitter dot com's Hope Smoke mentioned as I was writing this post that Raymond acts more of a replacement for Matt Frattin and I tend to agree. Frattin had a big year in 2013, but I don't think he's really much more than that. Unfortunately, the Leafs can't trade Matt Frattin to free up the space to sign Raymond since they've already traded Matt Frattin once this summer. As much as I'd hate to see Kulemin go, based on what he's being paid in a cap crunch year doesn't make sense in the context of the role Randy Carlyle has found for him. I love the idea of him and David Bolland together eating up tough minutes, but that may not be feasible.
One of the key names on the Leafs roster may not be here next week when camp opens, is the thing. Will it be Kadri? Franson? Kulemin? Or will it turn out that Nonis is actually a wizard and John-Michael Liles finds himself a team that wants him at his high price tag?

I really hope we don't lose kulemin. Every team wants players like him and here we are shopping him.
I vote wizard! Please let it be wizard!
September 10 2013, 03:12PM
There was a time when Kulemin played on the top line with Bozak and Kessel. I don't want to lose Kulemin, because he can move up and be effective on other lines when there are injuries.
With his lower production, Kulemin might not be that expensive to re-sign. There has to be a better way.
"With his lower production, Kulemin might not be that expensive to re-sign. There has to be a better way."
Not really at this point. It's either unload Liles, Kulemin, or someone really important. We could also go with the longshot that Nonis is able to sign both Kadri and Franson without removing anyone, but given that he's bringing Raymond in I'm gonna go with someone being moved to sign the two.
September 10 2013, 07:40PM
I like Mason Raymond but, clearly,he's not the player he was before his back injury. There is no comparison between him and Nicolai Kulemin. As for the cap pressure of signing Kadri and Franson, given the depth on the Leafs' blueline, Kadri takes first priority. Here's hoping that Dave Nonis finds a way to keep both; and, as a final thought, here's hoping that James Reimer kicks ass in training camp and throughout the season. PS Can't wait to see Paul Ranger's return to the NHL.
September 10 2013, 11:57PM
Here's what I see happening. I actually think the Leafs will keep Kulemin & Trade Franson. Because they have Paul Ranger Signed to a 1yr $1M Contract & let's be honest Ranger wasn't signed to play with the Marlies this time around but to give the Leafs more options on the Blueline on the big Club. The Leafs also signed TJ Brennan. Morgan Reilly could make the team out of Camp too. So I actually think Franson is being shopped. Even after great year. I just can't see the Leafs trading Kulemin away as he was great on the PK last season with McClement. Despite his $2.8M contract I think Kulemin is too valuable to the Leafs to trade. It's either Lile or Franson who's packing their bags

Hello, my name is John Samson. I've studied Greek and Linguistics as an undergraduate at Liberty University. I'll be attending Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary this upcoming semester where I'll be working on an MA in Biblical Languages. I also plan on attending SIL in North Dakota to get an MA in Linguistics. After that I hope to work as a Bible Translator with Wycliffe.
I'm excited to have found this site, since a linguistically informed treatment of Greek seems to be the rule here rather than the exception. I'm excited to learn, but definitely quite humbled by the level of scholarship here compared to my own.

Great shoes
"I wanted shoes to wear with casual clothes...not for running. These are great. They're so cute even my tween aged sons commented. The black is deep, almost blue and the laces and the laces are almost orange. Although it's winter, these should work well in warmer weather as they seem to vent. Very comfy...I definitely recommend them."

comfy lightweight sneaker
"This sneaker is remarkably supportive and cushioned for it's light weight. I bought them to walk in, as I do this more than running, and the sneaker offers a flexible front and a short-enough back to support this activity. The shoe runs a little long, but I don't think enough to warrant my having purchased a smaller size as the width is appropriate and my foot stays snugly in place while I walk. The laces are a slightly different pink tone than the lining of the shoe. At first this was disturbing, but I have grown to like the added pizazz this offers to the design. Multiple people have stopped me to compliment my shoes."

The Sher-Wood T90 Comp Goalie Stick is one of the top of the line options for 2012, offering a durable lightweight design.
The T90 is almost identical to the T90 goal stick in construction with the main difference coming from the graphic design on the exterior. Design features that help with rebound control is Sher-Wood's D-Flector + technology, a proprietary construction that features cross-linked membrane inserted on both sides of the paddle. Reducing the vibration on impact is a Vibration Reduction Foam Core ++. This light, high-density foam that is wrapped with high modulus carbon fiber that keeps the stick lightweight, yet gives excellent vibration dampening and great control over rebounds. The T90 is using a Power Inner Core +, that is layers of material strategically positioned to capture and distribute energy across the paddle for greater vibration absorption. Keeping this stick at a perfect balance, Sher-Wood is using their Equilibrium technology. The weight of the blade, paddle and shaft have been balanced, allowing the goalie to have better puck control while keeping the fatigue down on your blocker hand. Sher-Wood has opted to use their Tradfeel shaft design, squared walls with rounded corners that give the goalie a very traditional feel.
Sher-Wood's been designing hockey sticks and protective gear for over 60 years and continues to make high quality products. The Sher-Wood T90 is an excellent lightweight, durable goal stick that is suitable for any playing level.

- 26" = 27.25"
- 27" = 28.25"
- Universal Measurement is taken from the top of the handle to the first point of contact with the playing surface (heel).
Comments: I have used this stick for a full season, now. I used to play with a Warrior Messiah, which is a good stick,
but what I immediately noticed with the Sher-Wood is the impact absorption. Unlike other sticks I've used, when you make a stick
save, the impact isn't transferred hard into your arm, and you won't feel the stick vibrating from the shot. It's amazingly light, at
about 750 g, which makes maneuvering it for a quick save easier, and helps with puck handling. I full heartedly recommend the T90,
the best stick I've ever played with. (That the carbon look is cool is a nice bonus, too)

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Emery County's own Animantarxramaljonesi dinosaur was unveiled at the Museum of the San Rafael on Thursday night. Standing in front of the curtain, Emery County Commissioner Jeff Horrocks, along with museum director Margaret Keller, introduced Ramal Jones, the discoverer of the dinosaur and Clifford Oviatt the mural artist.
Jones expressed his appreciation to Jan Petersen, former director of the museum, for her contribution to the completion of this project. She was instrumental in securing the grant monies to have the dinosaur assembled.
"This has been a long, long, long journey," said Jones. "My wife Carole and I began looking for dinosaur bones in 1991. In 1993, we were in the San Rafael, just about five miles east of Castle Dale when we found something. It's amazing to realize that from just a few bone fragments we found on the surface, and the research and digs conducted by the College of Eastern Utah, now an entire dinosaur is in our museum."
Jones went on to say, "this has been a dream of mine to see this specimen in the museum. Thanks to CEU Museum and all of the people who came to help with the digs. People from all over the United States came to help."
Oviatt, the artist in charge of the mural design in the Animantarxramaljonesi display told of the contribution of many other artists involved in this project. "I want to thank my wife Verlynn who helped with the project. Also, Blair Larsen, Dallas Larsen, La Raine Johnston, Fern Oliver and Francis Hansen.
"This has been quite an experience to work on this mural," said Oviatt.
Keller and Oviatt handed out prizes to the winners of the coloring contest. Each of the schools in Emery County participated. The winners are: Jamie Gilbert; Sarah Hatch, Lon Huntsman, Savannah Williams, Ariel Sundstrom, Daeden Behling and Tyler Morris.

I hope she gets well soon.ReplyCancel
Oh no, not yet. Get well soonest, Joan!ReplyCancel
I hope she's okay too.ReplyCancel
I didn't realize she's 81 until I just read it in an article, holy cow. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!ReplyCancel
I don't exactly like her but I do wish her a speedy recovery and best wishes to her family.ReplyCancel
Original Joan Rivers stand up was fun. I hope she improves.ReplyCancel
AJ,+1. We're a snarky little pack. I suspect we've all enjoyed and/or been inspired by her willingness talk snark to power.
Here's to a speedy and complete recovery.ReplyCancel
Maybe shes still strong enough to pull through. Best wishes.ReplyCancel
I hope she gets better soon. I love Joan Rivers. Even as a kid I knew she was important. She told jokes like men, but from a woman's point of view. There was nobody else like her.
Now, you can't move for all the Joan inspired comediennes. And that's a good thing.
"Her daughter Joan Rivers"? Did someone forget their morning coffee?
Best wishes for the Queen of Snark. 81 years old and still delivering, that's talent.ReplyCancel
Well shit, I can't help but love her, she was a great comedian and was instrumental in bringing women into comedy. HHy husband watched the celebrity apprentice with her on it and she was amazing – really worked hard. As she's gotten older she's gotten a bit too snarky sometimes, but still love. Hope she pulls thru.ReplyCancel
Argh. I am a Joan fan.
On either the last episode, or one prior to that, she made a joke about always being prepared (as in attire) and then she said, "that's why I always where this " and she revealed inside her shoe she was wearing a toe tag.
I thought, "uh Nooo. Bad karma".
I hope she's okay too. She does seem pretty tough. I know she's pretty dang smart and also pretty nice ( aside from her snarky humor).ReplyCancel
Talking about Fashion Police, that is.ReplyCancel
@Sherry. I wondered too.ReplyCancel
@Sherry – the article I read said it was surgery for her vocal chords.
Joan is friggin' hilarious. I know she's too much for some people…but I love that about her. She just doesn't give a shit and I love, love, love that!!
Hope she makes a full recovery.ReplyCancel
If you watched the show Melissa would try to talk her out of more plastic surgery every time. And Joan would go ahead and do it. This is Melissa's nightmare though she is still alive at least. All surgery is risky and Joan is over 80.ReplyCancel
She was just on The Shopping Channel – she reminds me of my dad, over 80 but still sharper and more active than some 20 year olds. Hope she will be OK. She is indeed one of the ultimate fighters in Hollywood.ReplyCancel
I remember her saying the scariest thing she faced was if there was a day in her calendar with nothing on it. It would mean that no one wanted her anymore. Very talented, super hardworking lady. She was on The Shopping Channel up here just last week or 2, hope she's okay.ReplyCancel
She didn't take shit from anyone. We need more people like that in the world. RIP.
Under anesthesia was the only way death could get her in his clutches. If she was in control of her faculties, she would have shape shifted into the form of something w/ healthy heart and lungs.ReplyCancel
I could see it might be vocal chords because her voice has been getting noticeably raspier. It said procedure could it have been a scope?ReplyCancel
The Daily Mail said it was surgery on her throat for her vocal chords in a clinic.ReplyCancel
I would hope she recovers from this. She deserves a better exit. I know she used to be very funny but now she is very mean spirited. Perhaps she will recover and get a renewed appreciation for life. At least I hope so. But at 80 years old this sort of thing is very badReplyCancel
Let me stay quiet.ReplyCancel
Just up at the NY Post website a family source said:
"We are scared. This is not looking good."
Daily News website my bad.ReplyCancel
What's with the RIP's? She ain't dead yet.ReplyCancel
Her rep said she is unconscious but stable but it worries me is the length of time to get from the clinic to the hospital.ReplyCancel
And they are probably waiting for poor Melissa to get there, that's 4 – 5 hour flight right.ReplyCancel
We have 24hr comedy radio station here and they often play vintage clips from the older comedians. Joan's old stuff is really funny and quite unique.
Henry Bushkin's book about Johnny Carson has a lot of background info about the feud with Joan Rivers. She isn't the backstabber Johnny made her out to be.ReplyCancel
Well this is worded much better than what I wrote in another thread. hahahahaha
Well said, Michael!
I think she about to be. The plastic parts will Live Forever tho! No more tears ppl, chin up! Its only the neck down that will turn to dust…the neck up will have the shelf life of a twinkie (2000yrs/give or take)ReplyCancel
Would you have all the stand-up comedians stop working then. Were Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor all sweetness and light. No. George Carlin was a master at snark on a wider level. I think they also get crankier as they get older. I saw him locally before he died and man he was much much snarkier, funny but took me by surprise a bit. Probably because I'd always seen him on TV vs live and he hated censorship.
All the talk show comedians that make fun of people everyday, the gossip columnists and the gossip sites like this one and all the people who comment on them, let alone Twitter and Facebook.ReplyCancel
She is one of the hardest working people in the biz. And super nice. I have a friend that sometimes styles her and she's even worn some of my friends fashions. I do hope she will be alright. Thoughts and prayers for her and her family.ReplyCancel
I love her. I saw her in Vegas years ago and she was hilarious. Her books are good too. She struck me as someone who kept working because they were always afraid of being broke. Like Barbara Walters. They knew what it was like to struggle and fight in a "man's world" and they were never going back there. I hope she pulls through, the jokes she'd have after this would be too funny. Can we tawk?ReplyCancel
Honestly, I don't think she will make it, simply because of her age. My guess is they are keeping her on life support until Melissa can get there.
I appreciate what she did for female comedians. (Always thought Johnny Carson was a jealous old thing to ban her.) She's talked a lot about all the sexist shit she had to go through, which is infuriating and interesting at the same time. I recall she was not allowed to say the word "pregnant" on-air when she was pregnant with Melissa. She had to say, "I am expecting the pitter-patter of little feet"!ReplyCancel
From E! News 18 minutes ago
Joan Rivers' condition has been upgraded to stable, hours after the 81-year-old comedienne and host of E!'s Fashion Police was hospitalized for complications from throat surgery, while more details about her health scare have been revealed.
She was rushed to a hospital in New York City on Thursday after she stopped breathing while undergoing a minor endoscopic procedure at a medical clinic, a source told E! News.
Her daughter and frequent co-star, Melissa Rivers, 46, and Melissa's son, Cooper, 13, have flown to the city to be by Joan's side.
"They were putting a scope down her throat to check her vocal cords," the source said. "She stopped breathing."
"This was not major surgery," the source said, adding that Joan was sedated while undergoing the operation and that it is unclear what medication was used."ReplyCancel
Last night I stayed up and watched "Dear Zachary" and bawled my eyes out
Wake up to see this news and I'm tearing up again. I'm going to be walking around with puffy eyes all day
Love me some Joan – she tells it like it is and I find that refreshing
Keeping my fingers crossed for good newsReplyCancel
Whoa! She seems so bullet proof I had to re-read this cause I didn't believe it. I hope she makes a speedy full recovery.ReplyCancel
A lot of very mean-spirited things being said about her on Twitter. Ha ha… karma, I guess. Never could this lady, her ugly mouth or her plastic head.ReplyCancel
Thank all the gods she's going to make it, and at the same time, thank all the gods it wasn't another lift.
After all the Dr told her one more lift and she'll be sporting a van dyke.
Shes not dead u idiot. LoL.ReplyCancel
Any surgery for a senior gets risky. A lot greater chance of strokes also.ReplyCancel
Oh god I hope she pulls through. I love her. It's too much to lose her and Robin Williams in a single month.ReplyCancel
Get well soon JoanReplyCancel
Joan would approve of that joke!
I don't blame Joan for becoming more negative as the years and decades went by. Think of the changes that she's witnessed in showbusiness. In her youth, only the most exceptional could be famous. Exceptionally talented or exceptionally charismatic or exceptionally beautiful (and in very rare cases, all three).
As Fran Lebowitz said, we now have "too much democracy in the culture, not enough democracy in the society".
+1. Finally, that old bird is speechless. Bow that deserves a round of applause lol.
I couldnt be more apathetic about this. She is a nasty piece of work and I never much cared for her buttt for her family's sake I hope all ends well for her.
See, even I can say something quasi nice about her.ReplyCancel
Exactly:) and jewish holocaust jokes… its not super funny, and shocking what people on this site will pick and choose what they think is appropriate to be "snarky" about.
***Reality check people***
I hope that Joan pulls through this.ReplyCancel
She used to be really funny. She changed a lot after her husband died, a lot more acerbic and less humorous, and is even more so after all her plastic surgeries. I don't watch her on red carpets but I do know she can be quite nasty with a lot of people. Wish her well, and hope she recovers soon.ReplyCancel
Not. Good. At. All.ReplyCancel
I know that most people in her field (comedians) have a great amount of respect for her. People who are saying these negative and hateful things about her are only thinking of "Fashion Police Joan" who is a snarky bitch, a personality she crafted for the show. That is only a small piece of a much greater body of work that spanned decades before E! was even on television. She is a legend and will be greatly missed when she is gone.ReplyCancel
She invented the red carpet banter. No one asked who are you wearing or made funny jokes before her. She is a pioneer. Get better Joan.ReplyCancel
@sugarbread, exactly..i don't think a lot of folks realize the road she paved…Carol Burnett always pays homage to her- & hell, it's Carol Burnett saying this sooo,…ReplyCancel
You nailed it! Joan's poor heart just couldn't take it anymore.
Hoping for a full recovery Joan!! Love your work always.
