February 12 2010 02:42PM
We will lead off by saying that we get excited about the Olympics. A 13 year old girl at a Justin Bieber autograph signing type excited. So you will have to take us with a grain of salt once the games kick get underway as we post 12,789 gushing comments like "Aren't the Canadian Mens' two man bobsled team the BOMB? Can you believe that Lyndon Rush won't sled with Pierre Lueders anymore? What's up with that?"
Most people are going into these games with the attitude of "Olympic hockey is the only thing that matters and don't waste my time with anything else." We can respect the fact that the Ice Hockey is numbero uno prioritato at these here games and we can guarantee that you can get your Olympic Hockey fix right here provided you are cheering on the home team.
And while the 3 Nations are temporarily coming together for a common cause, it in no way means that we have anything in common with that TLP – who we might add is an American and probably holds out some sort of weird hope that Ron Wilson can Coach the Red White and Blue to a fourth place finish.
Cheering for Team Canada is going to be a damn sight better than the status quo up here in Edmonton, which has consisted lately of 12,789 articles about "who gets traded when and for what" and researching "all time losses in a row." In fact it might be difficult for us to get our collective Oilers loving heads around cheering for hockey that matters again, but we are going to give it a shot.
Plus, there isn't a single Oiler on Team Canada, which will give all of us pain stricken Oilers fans a two week break from having our hearts kicked in by the same old suspects on a nightly basis without being a turncoat and cheering for a different team. It's basically one of the first win-win scenarios we have seen here in awhile.
To kick off the Olympic fun, we are going to give you a quick breakdown of some Olympic Hockey Biz. Let's start getting our heads in the game Nations.
Remember the 2006 games in Turin? Wasn't that just the worst thing that ever happened ever? For the thousands of four year old Nation readers out there who may not remember the last Olympics and might think that the greatest hockey country in the world finished respectably, think again.
Final Standings – 2006 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey
1. Sweden (Gold)
2. Finland (Silver)
3. Czech Republic (Bronze)
4. Russia
5. Slovakia
6. Switzerland
7. Canada
8. United States
9. Kazakhstan
10. Germany
11. Italy
12. Latvia
You might look at the top of the standings and ask yourself "Gee whiz, where's the Canadian team? I could swear we sent all our best players over to Italy to play…" Look down the ladder. Waaaaay down there to 7th place. Yep, that's right. 2 spots ahead of the birth place of Borat sits the Canadian team. Small consolation that we finished ahead of the Americans when you let the Swiss finish ahead of you in the standings.
Ugh. The Swiss.
You have to think that the Canadians – and the Americans for that matter – are looking for sweet, sweet revenge at these here Olympic Games. Before we start pumping ourselves up about the new roster, we thought we would take a look back at the roster that screwed the pooch back in '06 and see who is returning to dispense some West Coast Payback on our collective behalf.

Oh man, it is no small wonder that the Canadians did so crappy in 2006? Do you see who some of these players are? Kris Draper? Todd Bertuzzi? Bryan McCabe? Har har har har har!
*wipes eyes, blows nose*
That's good stuff. Let's look more in depth at the changes to the squad.
Turco is out, Fleury is in and this will be Brodeur's squad to lead onto the ice in Van City. Nothing too crazy here we don't think. Turco is getting a bit long in the tooth and MAF has won a Cup and theoretically has what it takes to win big games. We would clearly consider this Brodeur's squad though and Fleury is in charge of sitting in the stands near the bench, looking as cool as he can muster and telling girls in the bar that he is "an Olympic gold medalist in training."
Amazingly, only one defenseman from 2006 is returning to the Olympic Team; world famous baby daddy Chris F.U. Pronger. Technically Niedermayer was on the 2006 squadron too, but an injury took him out of the lineup and threw McCabe in. The idea that some of these players were the best defenseman that the 2006 Edition of Canada could produce is a tad alarming.
This 2010 edition being iced is certainly a superior squad, younger, tougher and much more sexy with the deletion of Adam Foote. Some of the '06 defensemen led to a hearty round of laughter and table smashing here at OilersNation HQ. McCabe? Redden? Please, our sides are hurting. Wade Redden couldn't be loved less in NY and McCabe has gone to Florida where NHL'ers retire 4 years before they actually leave the league.
10 forwards aren't coming back from last Olympics and that is just A-OK from where we sit. This is certainly a new squad, let's hope there is going to be a different result. We are pumped beyond belief to see the Corey Perrys the Ryan Getzlafs of the world in a Team Canada Jersey. Finally we too can cheer for some players that have been sticking it to the Oil for what seems like hundreds of years without guilt of abandoning the home squad.
Ladies and Gentlemen – your 2010 Olympic Roster

Yes Amanda, we are number one.
We are the same guy who picks Oilers in every single hockey draft every single year regardless of how the team is actually going to look. Our 933rd place standing in the NationDraft will attest to that and so it should come as no surprise that we are going to pick Canada to win Gold. But unlike picking Comrie to outscore Bobby Ryan (which we also did) we think that the Canadians actually will win Gold, picking with our brains over our hearts.
Predicato del resultat:
1. Canada (Gold)
2. Russia (Silver)
3. Sweden (Bronze)
4. Finland
5. United States
6. Czech Republic
7. Slovakia

And I hadnt seen that Video of Hedger shoving her tongue down that other chick's throat before. My Olympic experience is so far one I will not forget.
WHere's that link again?

I really liked the poet they had. That was interesting.
I liked the content and I'll admit he did an OK job but the whole time I kept wondering why fatty mcneckbeard was the one they chose to be the voice that was watched by billions.

That cute little Chinese girl from the Beijing games was busy, Neckbeard was the fall back plan.

I'm all for aboriginal symbolism, and I think it's great that that's what they focused on...
The one thing that really surprised me was the huge sweeping generalizations about culture and religion. That thing with the giant bear was borderline offensive. The commentators on CTV were talking about the symbolism of the black and brown bears in 'native culture'.
The whole issue of 'native culture' is inherently flawed because the term 'native' encompasses dozens of cultures, religions, languages, etc.
February 13 2010, 08:54AM
you should know... you live in the trailer right next to them...
February 13 2010, 09:05AM
So are we gona have a new general Olympic talk page every day + Men's Hockey Game Day Blog?
February 13 2010, 09:21AM
No mention of the giant ice dildos?
And when I saw KD Lang singing, my first thought was that Roy Orbison was looking pretty good these days.
Fire Mike Babcock Now F@&k?

Wow so far this first morning of Olympics has been a bag full of technical difficulties, I sure hope things get rectified. Its looking a "little bush" right now
We are talking, Vancouver BC with government capital. Historically that has meant "joke".... this would be worldwide affirmation.
Roll out the welcome mat, grab the wallets and let the details work themselves out.

Really the Olympic events and the broadcasts are going to be sub-par without good old Ron McLean at the helm. No disrespect to Brian Williams but nobody mixes sport, culture and current events like Ron.
I should add. The Vancouver BC involvement is just icing on the cake.
Nope. A GMC Sierra with a single cab and three dudes crammed in the truck cab while Gretzky froze his ass off getting rained on while he stood in the back of the truck bed. As they moved through the streets there were drunks running along side of the truck. Looked like a cluster-F.
They should have had Semenko playing secret service agent running beside the truck bashing skulls... That would be KLASSY.
Damn southern snow storm rolled in just as the ceremony was starting and I missed the whole damn thing.
How Canadian was it to have planned for 4 people to light the cauldron? "We just couldn't decide, so we'll pick four." LOL.
Put my vote in - WE WANT GDB's & POSTGAME'S
p.s.(and a daily general Olympic blog would be aiite. then those who don't really care don't have to read through a bunch of comments they otherwise wouldn't)
p.p.s.(there should also be a daily hockey page aside from the Canada GDB ;-)
BTW, its Chris Mason of St. Louis that is on Canada's reserve list, NOT Steve Mason. - (Kevin Allen, USA Today)
We are totally going to do Olympic GDBs. We even have an awesome name for them - OGDBs.
OG Gangster Rap pictures will abound. Don't you even trip.
Do you guys really want an Olympic blog per day?
I don't per se (perhaps just an open thread for comments; it doesn't have to have any of your intellectual information). But IF people are gonna be on here throughout other events talking Oly's, some (ME) may not give a shh. HOCKEY! HOCKEY! HOCKEY!
I would like a daily hockey blog and a Canadian Hockey OGDB as two separate posts though. Anyone else?

Could be a new Ogden acronym.
I've got it recorded on my pvr. Maybe I'll download it on a usb and mail it you. Or you could just spend 3 hours on youtube.
There were some moving moments especially the intro montage which made the hairs on my neck stand up and when the Georgian team walked in I was fightin back the moisture. I also liked the projection whale's. Those were pretty cool.
better recognize and include some EZ MFN E!

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

The Rock Springs Field Office manages hundreds of miles of the best traces of 19th Century emigration trails including the Oregon, Mormon, Pioneer, Cherokee, California, Pony Express, and Overland trail systems. These trails represent the main overland routes of people, property, and information available during the Nation's westward expansion. Hundreds of thousands would take the trip west and tens of thousands would use these same trails to return east. Roughly one out of ten travelers would die before reaching their destinations. Cholera, "camp fever", "bilious fever", accidents, drownings, and the occasional murder cut short many lives.
Going West was not for the faint of heart or the poor. It required stamina and money to take the journey. It was quickly discovered that oxen faired best for hauling heavy wagons. However, oxen were rarely able to travel more than 12 to 15 miles a day as the emigrants walked alongside the oxen... seeing the country literally one step at a time. For those in a hurry, mules and horses often were used but meant carrying fewer supplies and baggage. A compromise of sorts was used by the Mormons starting in 1856. Handcarts were used by several Mormon companies with great success when early snows were not an issue. Early snows in 1856 resulted in the deaths of scores of "handcart pioneers" in the Willie and Martin companies. Many were buried in what is now the Rock Springs Field Office area.
Emigration is a story of all races, nations, ages, and genders. Thousands of diaries and letters survive to document life along the trail. To most emigrants traveling within the great western desert, it seemed like another planet. The almost featureless plains seemed like an enormous punch bowl no matter how far one walked in a day, they seemed little closer to their destination. The horizon seemed to retreat with every step. Plants, animals, and weather were all unfamiliar, and the many graves caused much concern.
The Rock Springs Field Office manages many places important to Trail history. You can walk or drive in the actual ruts carved by those same emigrants over a hundred years ago. BLM, along with many volunteers, has marked trail segments. Many important landmarks and historical places along the trail have interpretive sites for you to visit including South Pass, Parting of the Ways, Plume Rocks, Lombard Ferry Crossing to name a few.
For more information about the Trail segments managed by the BLM, you can call us at 307-352-0256 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. As always, BLM asks that you respect these important historical areas.

- U.S. national security is a subject that has been under intense scrutiny since the end of the Cold War. What constitutes such security for the United States as this country approaches the new century? Are the ends, ways, and means of our national security and national military strategies sufficient to provide for the nation's future? And above all, as this country celebrates the 50th anniversary of the National Security Act of 1947, are the institutions that resulted from that act still sufficient for the post-Cold War era?

Beach volleyball makes Universiade debut
SHENZHEN, China (CIS) – It was a big day for beach volleyball on Saturday as the sport made its long awaited Summer Universiade debut at the Dameisha Beach Volleyball Field.
Although beach volleyball has been part of the Olympics since 1996 and FISU world university championships are staged every second year since 2002, the sport had not been included in the Universiade program before this year.
"This was very important for us. To me it was the next logical step," said Dolphin Kasper, head coach of the Canadian contingent in Shenzhen. "I think it took this long because in a way we're still not as well established as the indoor game or other sports like basketball or soccer. But when you look at the caliber of athletes who play on the beach, it was only a matter of time."
Two female and two male duos are representing Canada at the Shenzhen Games. While the women's competition only gets under way Sunday, the men's tournament kicked off on Saturday with both Canadian pairs playing two matches apiece, with opposite results.
Simon Fecteau-Boutin of Lévis, Que., and Cameron Wheelan of Barrie, Ont., got off to a perfect start with a 21-19, 21-17 win over Germany 2, followed by a 21-12, 21-11 victory over Croatia 2.
François-Guy Allaire of Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Que., and Michael Plantingua of Langley, B.C., struggled in scorching heat however and lost in straight sets to both USA 1 (19-21, 11-21) and Russia 2 (13-21, 8-21).
"It's not the start we wanted but the tournament is still young," said Allaire, a University of Quebec at Montreal student who competed at the 2010 FISU world championships and at the 2009 Francophone Games. "The two teams we played today are very strong. But that's what you want, you want to play good competition and have good teams in your pool to get you ready for the second stage."
Each team is guaranteed a minimum of five games under the current tourney format. The 32 sides play three preliminary round games, after which they are ranked according to their standing within their pool. All teams then advance to the double-elimination second round.
"The heat was definitely a factor. It slows you down, it's like your body doesn't want to move," said Plantinga, a member of the University of Alberta's indoor squad. "This being said the conditions are the same for everyone."
Like his head coach Kasper, Plantinga is ecstatic to see the beach game included as part of the Universiade program.
"It's awesome. There are no university leagues in beach volleyball in Canada so I can understand why it took some time. But the NCAA in the United States is looking at beach volleyball, so that's exciting as well."
"Everything has been great here so far. Everything is very well set up. We're well taken care of."
Both Canadian men's pairs conclude pool play on Sunday.
Fecteau-Boutin and Wheelan will play for first place in pool C when they face Indonesia (2-0) at 1 p.m. local time (1 a.m. ET).
Allaire and Plantingua will try to avoid an 0-3 finish in pool H when they battle Thailand 1 (1-1) at 3 p.m.

By SYLVIA NELSON
At least two communities in Emery County have been settled outside of the Mormon "call to settle" influence; one is Green River and the other is Moore.
The settlement of Green River could have been first at a place on the river called "Willow Bend" as early as 1872. This is one of the most prominent points on the Spanish and Gunnison Trails.
Prior to that time, various parties of trappers and explorers stayed, camped from time to time, on both sides of the river where the bridge is now being reconstructed. In 1878, a mail route was established between Ouray, Colo., and Salina, crossing where the town is now. The mail station was manned by an unofficial postmaster named "Mr. Blake", so for a short time the settlement was called Blake City.
In 1895, (according to "Castle Valley - A History of Emery County", page 183), Tom Farrer of England who had been living in the Green River area since 1879, was made official postmaster and petitioned the US Congress to change the name to Greenriver, which was already that of the railroad station; one word so not to confuse it with Green River, Wyo.
Various bridges at first called "wagon bridges," water wheels, ferries, and dam sites were made and changed along the river over the years. Even though the water wheel became a distinguishing landmark for Green River, more water was needed faster than it could provide to irrigate all the land that the new settlers required, so dams were built. The town grew in frontier town fashion (according to Emery County 1880-1980) beginning with the mail station and stopover, livestockmen, homesteaders, and then the railroad came through.
It is not clear if Tom Farrer is J.T. Farrer, Sr. or Jr., or a third person named Tom; but J.T. had brothers, Alfred and Levi mentioned.
J.T. Farrer settled much land, built dams, and the "gravity ditch," ran the ferry, and had a general store, helped establish the town government, and by 1880, there were enough men (about 14 men, some with families) that a precinct was formed so they could vote for county and state officials.
Apparently the Farrer's had a long battle with the railroad who just built across land wherever they pleased, jumping the original settler's claims. At one point, the railroad closed Farrer's Ferry and placed guards along a fence they made. Farrer had a party waiting to cross, "and intended to get them across. We bluffed off the guard, cut the wire and put in a gate. We ferried the party over the river."
A new townsite came into being in 1906, under the direction of E.T. Merritt. The Farrers refused to allow "their settlement" to become part of the new townsite, thus some street names in adjoining neighborhoods have different names. Rod McDonald is recorded as the first town president, 1906-10. In 1910, Green River became a third class city governed by a mayor and council.
Early children may have been taught school in Elgin, the town on the east side of the river. School was taught on the west side at first in the mail depot, then a log cabin was built but no date can be found as to when.
In 1894, a frame building was erected with Minnie Taylor, followed by Mrs. Berry, and then Mr. B.F. Larson, hired as teachers. In 1906-07, more classes were needed so they used boarded-up tents for extra classrooms. Then a modern two story, 10 classroom, brick building was dedicated in 1910 by Governor Spry. The old frame building was leased to the LDS Church for worship services.
Green River established tourism about 1901 with the building of the beautiful hotel, The Palmer House which catered to railroad and ferry passengers and new settlers.
In 1930, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad moved its railroad division to Helper which took a toll on the population and commerce of Green River. Roads were not paved before 1935; the railroad was the main source of travel prior to that.
Green River is famous for its melons. Various types of water melon and cantaloupes were and still are produced; some unique with origins both local and unknown. The melons were grown, harvested, packed and shipped by train in the fall and sold as late as Christmas in the cities of Denver and Salt Lake. One fellow called "Melon Brown" who experimented with and sold various seeds, was trying to produce a cantaloupe that would keep until spring. The Wilson Produce Company founded by Sam Wilson and Sons, were shipping melons East by rail cars in 1929 to Nebraska and Kansas. One year they shipped 330 railroad cars filled with melons out of Green River. During the 1920s, the D&RG would run the "Melon Special," bringing people from Salt Lake City and points south to the Melon Days celebration, which is still one of the most exciting and well attended of Emery County community celebrations and is held each September.
Boating on the Green River was first as exploring done by John Wesley Powell and others. Then the ferry was established and other boats used to transport people and goods up and down the river for settlement and business, but pleasure voyages soon came into being, also. Everything from two sweethearts in a lowly rowboat to the deluxe paddle wheel boat with a coal-fired engine, named "Cliff Dweller", built by Captain H.T. Yokey. It proved unpractical in Green River, was renamed "The City of Moab" at some point for some reason, and hauled to the Great Salt Lake and used there for a time.
People still run the river today with rubber rafts and various crafts.
The annual Friendship Cruise from Green River to Moab, using every kind and size of gas engine-driven motor boat, is a popular event. In "low-water" years, the cruise cannot be held safely, but people are hoping for a lot of water this year to be able to get together again at this fun river outing.
Green River has seen booms of oil drilling, then the uranium and ore seekers, has gone through the prosperity and growing pains of the missile base era, but all the while relying steadily on the land, the river, and the people who love both. Even though people keep coming to establish new business ventures, melons and tourism still seem to be the long lasting attractions for both citizens and travelers. Some people come for the great golfing, some to run the river, some for a Navajo Taco or a favorite hamburger, some to see the geysers, to fish, or hunt birds, or just stay overnight on the way to somewhere else. But for me, no trip to Green River is complete unless I buy some melons and visit the ever-changing wonderful John Wesley Powell River History Museum, situated on the slowly ever-changing Green River.
The town of Green River is truly an oasis in the desert.

About the Author
I first began making picture books in kindergarten because my other career option at the time was stealing. But a life of crime requires practice and patience, neither of which I had, so I settled into industry, making what I coveted but what my parents could not afford to buy: beautiful books like the ones my teacher read to us in school.
Publishing was no problem in those days, not like it is now. By first-grade, I was my own publisher, making multiple copies of my books by hand. As for fame and fortune, I took care of that, too–I taught my brothers and the neighborhood kids how to wait in line for autographed copies, and I charged them 25 cents a book (an enviable paperback royalty today!), but also accepted candy.
By third grade, I had abandoned the literary scene. My parents had bought an old piano and signed me up for lessons and, thus, I began dreaming of becoming a world-famous concert pianist.
Then I came across a book on Maria Tallchief, and became a ballerina, just like that. I weighed only 40 pounds and could leap and pirouette all day without stopping. It was a lot easier than becoming a pianist.
Then I read a book about a surgeon, and one about a veterinarian, and another about a great tennis player . . . and I found myself wanting to become whatever I'd last read.
Eventually I grew up and became a newspaper reporter. It was the perfect job for me. I got paid to do the two things I loved most: writing and being curious. Working as a reporter taught me how to talk to people, how to find the story behind the story, and how to tell a story in a way that keeps a reader reading. I learned to listen to the way people talk. I learned to be precise and concise in my own choice of words. Best of all, the more I wrote, the more I was filled with a sense of wonder. I loved writing not only about what happens to people, but also about what happens inside of them, which is what writing for children is all about, but I didn't yet know it.
It wasn't until I became a mother and began reading children's books again that I felt what the Chinese call yun fuen, a continuing of work begun in past lives. I had long forgotten my early foray into picture books, the thread I'd dropped in kindergarten, a thin rig, like the one a spider would use in rising. I had journeyed nearly 30 years down through space by then, unaware of my silken strand. Then one afternoon, with my two young children clamoring for something to do, I showed them how to fold paper into a book . . . picked up some crayons and a pen, and then . . . felt myself rising . . . returning to that place where I began, that brief age in which I had so many talents, and leapt and pirouetted into the sun, and could not stop.

To throw a successful birthday bash, a little planning is required.
That's no secret to the organizers of the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree Relay for Life, who are already in the midst of planning for the 15th annual HR/LT Relay on July 26 — in the same year the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th birthday.
To get the word out and start signing up teams for this year's event at Cresthill Middle School, the Relay crew is throwing a kickoff party from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Golf Club, 9000 Creekside Way in Highlands Ranch.
The party will provide attendees and survivors with a chance to learn about the history of Relay, gather information on sponsorship opportunities and register. There will be free luminarias for those in attendance, a historical video on ACS and a rolling slide show of photos from past Relays in Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree.
Phyllis Danenhauer and her daughter Kari Larese, both cancer survivors, are responsible for organizing the kickoff, but it was Larese's 10-year-old son, Ryan Larese, who got the whole family involved in Relay last year.
"I just kind of thought that cancer in a lot of ways is overlooked," said Ryan, who is heading up a youth committee with his brother Jordan, 9, this year in an attempt to get a more youthful presence at the event. "A lot of people don't realize how bad cancer can be. They look at survivors and say, 'oh, they are just one of many,' but there's probably twice as many people who have died from cancer."
For Ryan, it was an emotional experience watching his mother and grandmother walk the survivor lap together at the start of last year's Relay, but for the 15-year survivors who'd been diagnosed just months apart, it was, and still is, much more.
"When we walked around that track together with the other survivors and all those people were standing all the way around the track cheering us on, that was an overwhelming, amazing experience," said Danenhauer, a breast cancer survivor.
"It is something we can do together," Kari Larese added, "something we have both experienced. They were different types of cancer (Larese had melanoma) but we still both experienced cancer and we went through it together both times.
"I think it is something that is much more prevalent than people are aware of and it's something my kids can learn about and be aware of and educate other people about."
According to statistics provided by the ACS, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime.
Relay for Life, which began in Tacoma, Wash., in 1986, raises money for ACS to further cancer research and support patients, and also celebrates survivors.

GDB 9: We don't need to tell you
October 30 2008 02:26PM
We don't need to tell you that the Mighty Oil are going on a road trip scheduled to last until March 2017. Why the Oilers agreed to a schedule that would have them play the next nine seasons on the road is anyone's guess but we would think that Goatie McGrebeshkov screwed the pooch somehow. That shady dirt squirrel.
We don't need to tell you that this road trip will dictate how the season is going to go for the Oil. It's getting real already, only eight games in.
We don't need to tell you that sooner or later we can't help but think the Oil will shake off this slump and karate kick some team in half.
We don't need to tell you that the only thing sadder than ANOTHER game on PPV tonight is the fact we'll be paying to watch the game. Again. Even though we're still wanting a refund on the last PPV two games.
Man are we suckers.
And we certainly don't need to tell you we will be at the ninth consecutive Justice League meeting and pyramid scheme recruitment drive. It's during the game and it's here on the Nation.
We will see you there. Suckers.
I don't understand most of this, but I enjoy it nonetheless. Go Oil!
Best. Name. Ever. I'll meet you at Helltrack after the game!
GOILERS! Damnit, no more losing. >:(
October 30 2008, 03:35PM
A win for the team
A win with a scream
Gagner can Score,
Hemsky a few more,
Moreau can show he's got skills of a pro
Grebs is a Goat, But Souray, no Joke,
will slit these pesky predators throats
Could Horcoff be Scorcoff?
Roli our Goalie?
how ever played out,
With screams and a shout,
Goals in five holes,
fights all the night,
Whatever the situation we're in,
Come on Oil, just get the win........
Garon starting :\
It will be shitanusly good time.
For those of you who got the Monday ppv, phone Shaw and complain about the sound quality. I got tonights for free!
Hey, they mentioned "Oilers Nation" on the pre-grame video clips... Not, "the" nation... But nice none the less.
Call your provider and get the full refund. Guys on OilFans have full refunds from StarChoice and Shaw -- I don't remember reading a Bell refund.

October 30 2008, 05:52PM
Alright! Unlike the Boston game, NHL.com will let me watch this one! (stupid market restrictions)
By the way, anyone in Raleigh, NC this weekend, and, say, happen to be going to watch Pitkanen get his ass handed to him by Mr. Cole? I know I'm there!
Hello? Justice League? Anybody home?

I have literally been sitting in front of the TV for 30 mins watching the score.
STORTINI reminds me of a big hairy rain man, cept he isn't good at math and lists 'hanging with the boys' as his favorite interest.
Thank the Gods of hockey I didn't miss that interview!!!

Style at the Washington International Horse Show
There can be no dispute that the equestrian world has and still does influence style, fashion, and design. After a week at the Washington International Horse Show we're reminded exactly why that fashion world continues to draw on its equestrian friends for inspiration.
The equestrian world will continue to inspire designers around the world not just for the inherent style in our day-to-day lives whether a gleaming driving harness, a luxe wool rug, or the fine leather of our boots, but also for what we represent. The equestrian world is inspirational because it's the symbiotic partnership between man and horse, it's an afternoon hacking across a hillside in a Fall breeze, it's dreams lived rather than dreams deferred. We are hope and happiness grounded in the sun rising early in the morning with the crunch of our boot on gravel as we prepare for a day with our horses. We don't need an Hermes scarf to get that feeling. We already have it. We're just passing it on.
A heartfelt thanks to Leslie Threlkeld for the beautiful photos that capture the essence of equestrian elegance and spirit. There will be more to see at her equine photography website so be sure to visit and dive into the Washington International Horse Show!

It replaces both the fluid and electrolytes you lose in sweat while providing just enough calories to help fuel working muscles. Flavored only with real fruit and containing no artificial colors or preservatives, their drink mix won't upset your stomach, leave a bad taste in your mouth, or challenge your IQ with tongue twisting chem-lab ingredients. It just works better. Maybe that's why, for years for athletes have been secretly replacing their sponsors' products with drink mix made from Skratch. You Sweat. They Hydrate. Only real fruit for flavor A light and clean taste profile No artificial "anything" Less calories and more electrolytes Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix, also known as "Secret Drink Mix", was developed and tested in the field with athletes competing in races like the Tour de France. For years, athletes would secretly dump their sponsors' drinks to replace it with ours, earning the name SDM from the pros who used it. Those athletes will tell you that they felt better, performed better, and didn't experience the bloating and stomach issues that they did with other sports or electrolyte drinks. The secret was that our drink just worked better. And now that the secret is out, everyone can use this exercise drink mix to optimize hydration - whether cycling, running, skiing, clubbing, or heck, whenever you're sweating. How and why was Skratch created? Skratch originally began in 2008 when Dr. Allen Lim got tired of his athletes complaining about their sports drinks, because think about it: Would you wan't to listen to pro athletes complain all the time? Didn't think so. At the time, Lim was working with the Garmin Professional Cycling team as their Director of Sport Science preparing them for the Tour de France. He noticed that many of his riders were watering down their sports drinks to make them more tolerable. Unfortunately, diluting a sports drink also dilutes the electrolytes in it and since the whole point of a sports drink is to replace everything you lose in sweat, the diluted drinks were not working for the riders. Literally starting from scratch, Lim began making different formulations in his kitchen. After hundreds of recipes, he finally hit on something that all the riders loved. Skratch has everything you need to replace what you lose in sweat and, just as importantly, nothing you don't. Compared to almost any other sports drink on the market, Skratch has fewer calories, more electrolytes, and nothing but actual fruit for flavor. Initially, Dr. Lim just made the mix for athletes he was coaching, but demand grew rapidly by word of mouth so much so that in February of 2012 Lim partnered with a group of close friends to officially launch Skratch Labs here in Boulder, Colorado. The first ingredient is sugar- what's up with that? They have been taught that sugar is bad for us. I know that because they keep getting asked this question about sugar. But if you lead an active lifestyle, sugar is pretty important. In small amounts during exercise, sugar is absolutely one of the most important and ergogenic* substances out there. Not only is having some calories critical for maintaining blood glucose and exercise performance, a little bit of real sugar paired with sodium significantly enhances the rate of water absorption through the small intestine. This is why clinically based oral rehydration solutions developed by the World Health Organization contain sugar and glucose just like Skratch- it hydrates you better. Which is kind of a good quality to have in a product designed to do just that. Sugar free may be great if you're sitting on your butt all day, but if you're working hard and sweating, a bit of sugar will improve your performance significantly. *(Just in case you're anything like the guy transcribing these answers, "ergogenic" means: an external influence that can be determined to enhance performance in high-intensity exercises." And that's straight outta Wikipedia so you know it has to be true. I mean, it's not like anyone can just add any information they want, right?) Ultimately, what's bad for us when we are sitting on the couch can be extremely performance enhancing when we are active. So if you're not sweating and working hard, don't use their Exercise Hydration Drink Mix- that word "Exercise" is in there for a reason. But if you are sweating you need to put back both the water and the electrolytes you're losing and can best do that with a drink that contains a little bit of sugar and plenty of sodium. Can I just drink water? Yes, of course. Water is fine if the activity is short, the temperature is moderate and sweat rates are low. But remember that sweat isn't just water, it's also made up of electrolytes, especially sodium. That means if you're just drinking water, you're not putting back everything you're losing. In the heat, during prolonged exercise, at moderate to heavy sweat rates there is no situation where drinking water alone is better than a sports drink that contains a little bit of sugar and plenty of sodium like the Exercise Hydration Mix from Skratch Labs. When we sweat we lose water, sodium and other electrolytes. Sodium is critical to the proper function of every cell in our body. When our body's sodium levels get too low, something called hyponatremia can occur. This leads to a host of problems like headaches, a drop in performance, muscle spasms, nausea, seizures and, in extreme cases, even death. One of the easiest ways to drop our sodium levels (bad) is to drink plain water when we are sweating heavily during exercise. Why? Water dilutes the blood because sodium is already being lost through sweat and performance will drop off significantly. Ultimately, your sweat contains a lot of sodium, (200-400mg per 500ml). Using a drink that doesn't contain sodium while the body is losing sodium can be an extremely dangerous situation. Thus, a drink with a sodium content similar to what you lose in sweat along with a little bit of sugar to help transport water and help maintain blood sugar levels is always better than water alone during strenuous exercise in the heat. Make sense? You have to replace everything you're losing, not just the water. Why do I cramp? How do I stop cramping? Cramps can happen because of muscle fatigue, because of an electrolyte disturbance, and because of dehydration. There are plenty of models showing that all are potentially valid mechanisms for exercise-induced cramping. Sometimes it's just one of these factors. Often times, it's a combination of factors. Training better, drinking more, keeping electrolyte intakes high are all important to prevent cramping. There is also some evidence that tickling the back of one's throat with something like 4 to 6 ounces of pickle juice can induce an oropharyngeal reflex that can override the reflex which causes a cramp. I've never tried it, but it can't hurt. Everyone knows they can die of dehydration. But how much can performance really suffer after just small losses of fluids? The prevailing thought is that as little as a 2% loss of body fluids can significantly affect aerobic performance. There are over 28 published studies demonstrating decrements in performance that show dehydration in the range of 2 to 4% of total body weight can impair performance anywhere from 7 to 44% when measured as time to exhaustion, work done, or peak exercise performance. That all said, there's probably more at play here than just dehydration or a loss of body weight. In fact, simply being thirsty, regardless of change in body weight due to dehydration, can also impair performance. Furthermore, in practice, many athletes competing in real world conditions can maintain a high level of performance even with a significant loss of body fluid (up to 10% loss). In my own experience, if I could encourage athletes to drink enough to not lose more than 3% of their body weight, they were able to maintain a relatively high level of performance. What's the scoop with the 'scoop'? While they do their best to make sure there is a scoop included inside of every bag they sell sometimes they make mistakes. It's also not unheard of for a customer to lose their scoop. But don't worry, use your basic tablespoon to measure out 1.75TBS of Exercise Hydration Mix and add that to 16oz (500mL) of water. If you have a small scale, that will work as well if you remember that a single serving for 500ml equals 23grams. How much Exercise Hydration Mix should I be drinking? That is a tough question to answer because everyone is different. The right amount depends on not only the conditions (think temperature and humidity) and length and intensity (how long, how hard, how far) but also on the individual. One to two 500mL servings per hour is a good starting point and then experiment to see what works best for you. One way to check if you're drinking enough is to weigh yourself before and after a workout. If you're losing more than a 3% loss in total body weight, your performance is almost certainly suffering and you probably need to drink more. Why doesn't Skratch dissolve 100% clear? Because they use actual fruit for flavor instead of chemicals that taste like fruit. Any "floating stuff" you may see in your bottle is small bits of fruit pulp. Sometimes a trace amount of the electrolyte salts in Skratch may hang around the bottom of your bottle too, but just give it a little shake before taking a swig and drink up. They're good for you. If you prefer a clear beverage try the Lemons and Limes. If you like a small amount of real fruit pulp/seed try the Raspberries or Pineapples. How long will Skratch stay fresh? How do I need to store Skratch? Because Skratch is all natural and they don't add any preservatives of any kind, their drink mix needs a little bit of TLC. Dry drink mix should be stored in a cool, dry place either in its zip top bag or in any other airtight glass or plastic container. Extreme heat and direct sunlight are like Kryptonite for Skratch, so don't keep it in your car or your tent in the middle of the Sahara. Once added to water, a good rule of thumb is to treat it like fruit juice. After mixing, it is ideal to drink it within the day and can be drunk warm without lessening its efficacy. If mixed and then kept in the fridge it will stay good for up to a week. You will know when you have let it hang around in your bottle too long, it will smell a little bit funky and your inner voice will tell you "don't drink that". Listen to your inner voice. Does Skratch Labs contain Wheat/Gluten/Soy/Dairy? No, Skratch Labs Exercise and Everyday mixes are free of wheat, gluten, soy and dairy. Is Skratch Kosher? The food plant in which Skratch is processed is Kosher approved by The Scroll K - Vaad Hakashurs of Denver. About Skratch Labs A few years ago, while working as a sport scientist and coach for a professional cycling team, I started making my own training food and sports drink from scratch for the cyclists I worked with because too many of the pre-packaged sports bars and drinks that were marketed or given to them were laden with artificial ingredients and literally making them sick to their stomach. Instead of just accepting this as the norm, I decided to try a back to basics approach and began traveling around the world from hotel to hotel with a rice cooker and an electric frying pan so I could make the athletes I coached fresh food each morning at grueling events like the Tour de France. I also started diluting their sports drinks to lower the sugar concentration while adding back extra salt and electrolytes to replace what was actually being lost in their sweat. Eventually, I started making a "secret drink mix" in my kitchen using a recipe with less sugar, more sodium, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors, with a simple and clean taste created by using real fruit. Instead of making an "orange" drink, I made a drink with real oranges. Instead of making sweet syrupy bars, I made savory cakes with sushi rice. And it worked. The athletes stopped complaining about feeling sick, bloated, and nasty from the synthetic gut rot that normally plagued them. Most importantly, with better hydration and better fuel they started feeling and performing better. But making drink mixes in my kitchen or assuming the role of a short order cook in cramped hotel rooms across the world only solved part of the problem. The bigger issue was teaching athletes fundamental life skills so that they could take better care of themselves all the time. To start addressing some of those issues, I teamed up with Chef Biju Thomas and we wrote a cookbook called "The Feed Zone" to teach our riders how to cook fresh simple meals for themselves using real wholesome ingredients. At the same time, word of our Secret Drink Mix was spreading fast and it was clear that the demand for our all natural drink mix and cookbook extended far beyond cyclists or endurance athletes. Racecar drivers, rock climbers, concerned parents, Peace Corps workers, and normal active individuals looking for healthy food and drink alternatives were buying our product and hungry for more knowledge and ideas. To meet that demand, I've put together a team of close friends and we decided to let the secret out by opening a little shop in Boulder, Colorado called Skratch Labs. Our mission is simple - to develop and sell food and drink products based on real world science and practice that taste great, that are made from real ingredients, and that optimize performance for both sport and life. Most importantly, we intend to educate and to continue to learn and grow ourselves - to help our customers improve and thrive as they help us to do the same. We know we have a lot of work to do to fulfill this mission and we are the first to acknowledge that we are a work in progress - that things won't always be perfect. But there's no better time to start than now.

Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Back to zero
Mileage: 28.9
January mileage: 137.8
Temperature upon departure: 10
Tuesday, climbing on the bike, 29 miles, 3.5 hours. Temperatures continued falling for most of the day today, settling back in the subzero range, where they'll probably stay tomorrow. I hope to go out for a longer ride Wednesday, mostly to see if I can survive, but today was all about working up a good sweat. I made the 1,200-foot climb through two inches of fresh snow on the unplowed road to Eaglecrest (the ski resort is closed Tuesdays.)
I did a little riding on the slopes, but there's way too much new snow - too soft and punchy. The skiers have the right idea. If I ever feel like hauling my board up there one of these days, maybe I'll join them. I've made plans several times to go snowboarding at Eaglecrest with friends, but I keep backing out. I'm not quite sure why I've lost nearly all interest in snowboarding. I do have this new aversion to the idea being carted up a mountain; subsequently, I lack the skill set, avalanche knowledge and equipment needed for backcountry runs. Plus, I've got that big race coming, and I'm genuinely worried about hurting myself doing something stupid.
But the biking today was mostly beautiful and cold. What's new? I love it. I don't get sick of it. I don't know why.
The only bad part about a healthy winter climb is the five-mile effortless descent in minus-20-degree windchill. I stopped halfway down the hill to put on mittens over my gloves, and took exactly two pictures before my camera quit working. My left thumb froze as well, just a bit. I used to downhill snowboard on a regular basis back when I lived in Utah, usually at night, and I have no idea how I stayed warm. A ski lift carts you up a hill and you slide down. Unless you're moderately skilled (I'm not), there's few chances to work up very much heat. I think this is the reason why I have been so much more interested in snowshoeing than snowboarding lately (well, besides the fact that I'm getting old) ... but with snowshoeing, you work up a sweat going both up and down.
Downhill snowbiking, however, is miserably cold.
But on second thought ... it's worth it.

it's the challenges that make it all worthwhile... :)ReplyDelete
Descending sounds super chilly...you've got some great gear to keep you warm though...keep on ridin!ReplyDelete
I have to agree that winter biking has it's own flavor of fun that there's just no getting sick of. Here in MN we don't have any five mile descents but that sounds like a lot of wind chill without any climbing to warm you up. Although, I'd like to try it some time :-)ReplyDelete
I have really enjoyed reading your blog and think you have done a great job with content and layout. I am a blogging "newbie" and am curious if you were able to complete the layout entirely within Blogger or do you use another application?ReplyDelete
I look forward to more winter inspiration!

Hi Jill,ReplyDelete
I found your blog 2 days ago while searching for recent photos of Alaska (I was curious to see what Alaska looks like in winter - I visited the Inside Passage in June last year and found the scenery breathtaking). I'm thrilled I found your site - you have lots of wonderful photos and I really enjoy reading your posts (just bought your book :)
All the best,

Thanks for the nod, DB7.
At last, something to watch on the Horror channel.
Hammer Comes To The Horror Channel This October.
By James Whittington
Posted in: Features, Saturday 10th Sep 2011
Scars Of Dracula The name Hammer is synonymous with quality, bloody and very British horror and during October the Horror Channel is celebrating its legacy with a season of its finest movies all with exclusive introductions from Kim Newman.
You'll find Dracula, Baron Frankenstein, a Mummy, the walking dead and a sinister curse.
All movies start at 11.10pm and keep checking the site as there's more to come from the house of Hammer here on the Horror Channel.
Scars Of Dracula - October 1st
The blood-sucking Hammer horror from 1970, Scars Of Dracula kicks off our season in style. Starring Christopher Lee, Dennis Waterman, Jenny Hanley and Patrick Troughton it concerns a young man and his girlfriend who travel to Dracula's imposing mountain top castle in search of his brother who disappeared in mysterious circumstances. What will they discover? Directed by Roy Ward Baker this fifth Hammer Dracula movie is one of the best.
Frankenstein Created Woman - October 8th
Peter Cushing gives an outstanding performance in Frankenstein Created Woman on the 8th. Baron Frankenstein is reanimated by his colleague Dr. Hertz and gets to work bringing a young maiden back to life using the twisted soul of an executed man. Directed by Terence Fisher this 1967 movie from Hammer took the series (to which this was the third entry) in a new direction but lost none of its impact.
Blood From The Mummy's Tomb - October 15th
Tomb-raiding terror from Hammer as we dare you to witness Blood From The Mummy's Tomb. The discovery of the preserved remains of an evil Egyptian Queen sparks the transformation of a voluptuous young woman into a 'yummy mummy' with a thirst for murder. Andrew Keir and the voluptuous Valerie Leon lead a cast that journey to a place (the Mummy genre) Hammer should have visited more often.
Plague Of The Zombies - October 22nd
Hammer's Plague Of Zombies is an unforgettable tale of dread making you wish theyd made more movies about the shuffling undead. When a plague spreads through a Cornish village it is discovered that the victims' graves are empty and a deranged Squire dabbling in black magic has an army of zombies!
The Reptile - October 29th
The Reptile (which was shot at the same time as Plague Of Zombies) is a chilling piece from Hammer with a tight script and cracking direction from John Gilling. A couple move to a Cornish village where it becomes apparent that locals are being killed by a snake-like creature and their neighbour harbours a sickening secret.
Thanks for the nod, DB7.
At last, something to watch on the Horror channel.
I do not know the full facts and figures; or if it is being presented privately; or in conjunction with Hemel Hempstead Movie Makers, of which I am a member or not. But we do have a member; who has been a film projectionist, an employee of MGM and has worked for British Transpoert Films. I gather he is presenting an afternoon giving a talk on Hammer Films. I understand he is also showing film clips, and later will be showing a film. I know that it will be on Saturday November 26th in the hall at the Back of The Carey Baptist Church, opposite The Civic Centre and next to The Hemel Hempstead Gazette. I understand it will start at 2pm. I am not sure much beyond that.
I will come back when I know more details, just in case anyone is interested, and is in a position to come along to Hemel Hempstead.
Alan French.
Many thanks for the excellent info and link DB7
I remember reading the novelisation of the movie The Scars of Dracula and being quite impressed with both book and film. I'm a great fan of Andrew Keir; and it will be lovely to see spectacularly voluptuous, statuesque 5ft 10ins Valerie Leon as the Egyptian Queen in Blood From The Mummy's Tomb.
Hope they have the rights to show five of my favourie Hammer Horror films: The Abominable Snowman (1957), the original 1958 Dracula, Quatermas and the Pit (1967), The Devil Rides Out (1968), Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) and Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971).

Captain Clegg would be my addition.
As a bonus The Hammer House of Horror episodes are accompanying the showings.
Do you mean the Hammer House of Horror TV series episodes or the World of Hammer documentary episodes?As a bonus The Hammer House of Horror episodes are accompanying the showings.
I'm not sure Bonus is the word I'd use for the T.V. Series...
This Saturday there are two episodes of the Hammer House of Horror series, followed by Scars of Dracula, followed by a rare showing of Fright (1971)
Yay for the TV series and the selection of films. And I also hope Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde gets a showing. Rasputin the Mad Monk would be fun to see again too.
Just found this comment on another forum re the showing of the Hammer films on the HC: "How about getting them out on blu-ray instead of a channel no-one watches?"
What a misery - some people are never satisfied.
I recently recorded 'The Blood Beast Terror' via Sky+ on the Horror Channel but the recording was fraught with problems such as loss of audio,freezing and jumping to and fro! Has anyone else experienced any problems with this channel?
Cheers 'Sidney Bliss' and 'Cassidy' for your replies-it seems that my Sky+ is due a 'damned good thrashing!'

By TODD PACEWasillaAlaska
I live in Wasilla Alaska, and although I don't know her personally I know her family and have seen what she has done for our state. She, unlike other politicians, stands up for the people who elected her. Her word is her bond. Despite the liberal smear, she stands up for what she believes.
Being from California, Mr. Lowe's assumption that abortion, evolution, teaching sex education to grade schooler, and gun control are mainstream issues for the majority of American. Being from the left coast, I can appreciate his dilusion.
If you believe that taxing those who produce, to provide welfare checks for those who don't pay any taxes is OK, vote against her. If you believe that increased taxing of Main Street will not be passed directly back to you in the form of increased prices for gas, food, clothing or loss of jobs, loss of medical benefits, then vote against her.
If you believe that her experience as a mayor, and governor are less than a community organizer, then vote against her. If the requirements of office are more than being an interested citizen willing to serve and make a difference like our founding fathers, then again vote against her. If you believe that any nation can tax its way to prosperity, please vote against her. If you believe that having zero attacks on our soils since 9/11 is a coincidence, then vote against her.
What I do believe is "mainstream" in America is pulling your own weight, sending your own flesh and blood to the defense of our nation not just talking about it, and that it is absolutely not the government's responsibility to insure anyone the American dream. I do not believe that Socialism is mainstream in America.
Mr. Lowe is right about one thing. Better wake up America.
The liberal machine is again assassinating someone that has the same values as you do.

Since the first protractors appeared near the turn of the 17th century, around the same time that the technique of triangulation was developed for surveying, their utility for this activity appeared evident from early on. Surveyors typically carried at least one protractor in their field kits. The instrument might be combined with another drawing instrument, such as a set of parallel rules. By the 19th century, makers tried to blend convenience with multi-functionality, offering rectangular protractors that fit easily in a case or pocket and that were packed with aids for reducing real-world distances to proportional scales. They also showed off their improving craftsmanship with fine objects that retained accuracy in measurement. (See also the page on Engineering & Drafting.)

Protractor Retailed by Benjamin Pike & Son
- Description
- This brass circular protractor was manufactured in the mid-19th century and made available for sale by the New York City firm headed by Benjamin Pike (1777–1863). Pike, a dealer of optical, mathematical, and philosophical instruments whose firm serviced the entire United States, partnered at various times with his sons, Benjamin Jr., Daniel, and Gardner. The business was called "Benjamin Pike & Son," as is marked on the vernier limb of this protractor, between 1831 and 1841 and between 1843 and 1850.
- This protractor likely would have been of interest to surveyors and engineers. The object is divided by single degrees. It bears two sets of markings by tens in the clockwise direction: from 0° to 90° to 0° to 90° to 0°, and from 10° to 360°. Brass arms extend into the center to divide the protractor into quadrants. The arms are not placed at the 0° and 90° points, as one might expect, but rather at the 50/50, 40/140, 50/230, and 40/320 markings. There are rounded, beveled notches at the 90/90 and 90/270 markings. A round hole (5/8" diameter) is at the center. Crosshairs would typically have been placed in this hole to mark the origin point for measuring angles, but no crosshairs are present. Instead, a brass piece fills about one-third of the hole.
- An arm pivoted from the center carries a vernier, which allows the user to read off angles to 10 minutes of arc. The vernier is marked by 30s from 60 to 0 to 60. The vernier arm is marked: Benj-n Pike & Son New York. The arm extends beyond the vernier. A brass strip, fastened on top of the arm, contains a sharp metal pin that pokes through a hole near the end of the arm. The pin was used to prick, or mark, angle points.
- This protractor has some notable differences from the circular protractor depicted in Pike catalogs of 1848 and 1856: its outer edge is smooth instead of appearing to bear gear teeth; it has one vernier arm instead of two; and it has two sets of markings instead of one.

Most of your post I agree with, He does have the power of Madara, however, that doesn't mean he IS madara. I'm not arguing that he doesn't have Madaras power, or that he was referring to someone else.
The line is Indicating that Tobi has Madara's "Legacy" of the Sharingan, however, indicating that he is in fact, not Madara.
Fair enough. I guess I misread your previous post as implying that Tobi didn't necessarily have Madara's power. But if all you're arguing is that Tobi is not/might not be Madara, then I can't complain about that
