If the Edmonton Oilers can't get it done in the next 20 games, then they likely can't get it done at all, and owner Daryl Katz should take a look at why that's the case and who's responsible.
When you look at the next stretch, it's as simple as that from where I sit. There's no ridiculous schedule, like the 14 road games the Oilers played in their first 20 outings on the way to a 9-9-2 record. There's no Murderer's Row in terms of opponents. Quite the contrary.
Between Wednesday's game against Los Angeles and Jan. 9, when they close out the next 20-game stretch against San Jose, the Oilers have 13 games at home and get a steady diet of teams they should get fat on.
They play the Vancouver Canucks, who just lost Roberto Luongo for as long as five weeks, four times. They play the Dallas Stars, who just lost captain Brenden Morrow for the season with a knee injury, three times.
They play the Kings twice and St. Louis, Phoenix and Colorado—all teams below them in Western Conference standings—once each. They play the New York Islanders, Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators, a trio of teams that, as of today, are out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.
Would anything less than reasonable facsimile of an encore of the hair-on-fire stretch drive of last season—a 14-5-1 record over their final 20 games—be palatable to Katz?
I'm guessing not.
No excuses
The Oilers finished their first 20 games 7-7-0 on the road and 2-2-2 at home, a skein marked by three straight losses at Rexall Place. While .500 on the road is OK, that doesn't cut it at home. Not even close.
"We haven't been playing up to our potential," Sam Gagner told me after today's morning skate. "It's got to be better.
"The good thing for us is we know we're going to be better. There's a confidence in this room that we're going to be more successful."
Given all the negatives, it's somewhat remarkable the Oilers are .500 as they begin the next stretch.
For the most part, Erik Cole and Dustin Penner have been awful. Gagner has struggled mightily. Shawn Horcoff hasn't done enough. The penalty killing has been abysmal. GM Steve Tambellini and Kevin Lowe haven't been able to move a goaltender to get down to two.
There's been a total lack of continuity with the forward lines because, outside of Ales Hemsky, nobody has played well enough long enough to convince an impatient Craig MacTavish to keep them together.
Still, there is hope, I think, because it's difficult to imagine Cole and Penner being less effective. Penner will get another shot alongside Horcoff and Hemsky against the Kings. Likewise, Gagner, Andrew Cogliano and Robert Nilsson, the Kid Line, will be reunited Wednesday.
On the clock
The Oilers insist the bar has been set higher and that they've under-achieved. While I'm not sure about that, being the Mr. Poopy Pants who picked them to finish ninth—I had them pegged at 8-10-2 at this point—Katz, who was at the rink this morning and has the only opinion that really matters, expects results.
"There's lots of room for improvement," MacTavish said.
"If we get through the next stage of our season and develop the way we should and get the results we expect of ourselves, it would be very easy to look back and say, 'What was everybody so upset about?' We've got to see that game."
And if we don't? I didn't talk to Katz today—although I can tell you he is squarely in MacTavish's corner—but it stands to reason the same old, same old won't please the boss. If the Oilers don't play well above .500 in the next 20 games, I'd imagine he'll want to know why.
As he should.

MacT only won 3 cups with the Oilers. 1 with the Rangers
I've been a mact go through and through but it's taken him a long time to get to where he is now: employing lines that make sense.
I would've kept 26 with 10-83 a little longer because even though they weren't scoring they were still creating chances and if you hit the ball hard enough long enough then you'll eventually start hitting it over the fence.
And if the club didn't have faith in either 51 or 78 for the secondary tough min then they should've picked up a vet pivot but maybe that goes back to there being a disconnect between the head coach and MGMT.
Right now I think we're close to maxing out our potential and that's something I would've liked to have seen tried awhile ago.
10-83 are going power vs power, 18-78-26 will take on the secondary tough role and then the kids will get the shelter. I thought this was something we should've been doing all along but macT had some other ideas out of the gate.
you know, I find this blog post by Gilbert to be a little disturbing: http://tinyurl.com/58ms8k not so much for the high school musical garbage but because of how many times he refers to himself and his roomies (sam & cogs) as utterly lazy. this is awfully telling isn't it? I know it is not just these three but rather the whole team that is stinking up the effort dept. this season (and past?) but if you are lazy at home and have that reinforced by other people, wouldn't it seep into your time at the rink/on the ice? maybe I'm full of sh*t but his words rang a little too true to me.
November 25 2008, 11:06PM
did anybody notice Glencross now has more points than any of the oilers forwards other than Hemsky? How incompetent is this team's mgmt that knows they need a gritty player to the extent they are calling up midgets to play physical roles and Tim (2 points) Sestito to play fourth line and kill penalties. This despite the fact the clear fact that the fourth line last year was the reason they had such a great record at the end of the year.
Look at your fingers folks. How many thumbs do you have? How many pinkymfingers? This team puts 3 thumbs on the third line and 3 pink fingers on the second line, then wonders why they can't score a goal. Then they have a fourth line from the AHL accompinied by a top 10 overall drafted defenceman playing tough guy!!?? WHen last year they had one of the best fourth lines in the league and they let it die because they didn;t want to play 1.2 freaking million?????
Hello we have $20 million dollars of forwards that don''t have 10 goals between them a quarter of the way through the season!!!
If they fire Mact I hope they fire Lowe at the same time because his stupid moves (penner money and no draft picks last year, no Glencross, nothing for Pronger) are almost as bad as Mact trying to fit three thumbs on the third line to check and three pinkies on the second line to score and a fourth line that is mediocre even at the AHL level.
i can't skate, i have never played hockey but i honestly think i would be a better GM than Lowe.
November 26 2008, 08:26AM
MacT should be promoted to colour commentator for sportsnet. His quotes are his greatest asset. Hopefully that does not result in a demotion to coach for Louie.
hey esa, Your grippe is about glencross? GlenX knew they were after Hossa and if he had waited a day or two they would have paid him that much. Would you honestly pay him that much with little proof of the return at the expense of signing Hossa? I have my beefs with some of Lowe's post-lockout moves too but he is no longer GM. He isn't working the phones and lining things up. That is Tambo's job now, even if Lowe still has veto power. Do you even follow the Oilers?
November 27 2008, 03:45PM
lowe was the GM when they did not sign Glencross. Tambellini came a month later. The excuse that they were chasing Hossa is a load of crap. They signed Nillson, Gilbert and Grebs before June 30th. Glencross has said he was only asking for the same amount he got from Calgary. Lowe could have and should have signed him before June30. Even if he didn't is there only one person in the organization that could have signed Glencross in the first three days of July? Couldn't Olzcyk or Prendergast have done it?
Now we have freaking Liam Reddox playing the role? He is 160 pounds for God's sake and they are wondering why they don't have any grit? When their grit players are 160 pounds?
Letting Glencross go has been a major mistake and should be getting far more attention.
Yes I follow the Oilers - was it Lowe or Tambo who did not sign Glencross???

Trust your Instinct(s)
By Darryl Mocek on Sep 28, 2009
Add the recently released Samsung Instinct HD (available exclusively on Sprint and available now at Best Buy) to the growing list of JavaME consumer devices. This device is pretty special though. Why? Because it's the first device to combine the two JavaME stacks (CDC and CLDC) and to include OSGi into the mix. This device has an OSGi implementation running on top of a CDC stack, and running MIDP on top of OSGi. The application model generally used on the device is MIDP, but at some point it could allow running other OSGi applications and CDC applications as well. There's a lot of capability built into this phone.

Dion Phaneuf, Norris Finalist
Jonathan Willis
April 05 2011 06:32PM
The Dion Phaneuf wearing the blue and white in Toronto is not the same Dion Phaneuf who was a finalist for the Norris Trophy in 2007-08. Believe it or not, that's a good thing.
There's always a temptation, when discussing Dion Phaneuf, to look back at his gaudy offensive totals in his first few seasons with the Calgary Flames and consider him a diminished player because he hasn't been able to sustain those totals. That Norris Trophy nomination in 2007-08 adds to that temptation, because it suggests that he was one of the game's best all-round defensemen at the age of 22 (actually, it does more than suggest that, given that the Trophy is awarded to the blue-liner who "demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position.")
The reality is that Phaneuf's Norris nomination was ill-deserved, for a host of reasons:
- He played against inferior opponents while the pairing of Robyn Regehr and Cory Sarich was relied upon to shut-down the big guns.
- Despite those inferior opponents, Phaneuf played with the best offensive players.
- When it came time for the coach to send someone out for a defensive zone faceoff, it was once again the Regehr/Sarich pairing that was leaned on. Or David Hale. Or Jim Vandermeer.
- Despite being used as an offensive specialist, Phaneuf's even-strength scoring numbers were good but not spectacular, ranking outside the top-30 for defensemen.
That's not to say Phaneuf had a bad year; far from it. His power play numbers were very good, he played a lot of minutes, he threw highlight reel hits, and as a rule he did a pretty good job of taking advantage of his relatively cushy minutes. It just wasn't the sort of year that screamed "best defenseman in the game!" because Phaneuf was being used as an offensive specialist and still being outshone offensively by guys playing the hardest minutes – players like Nicklas Lidstrom, Andrei Markov, and even Zdeno Chara.
In fairness to the members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association, Phaneuf wasn't really considered the best defenseman in the game, as a quick glance at first place votes shows us:
- Nicklas Lidstrom: 127
- Zdeno Chara: 3
- Dion Phaneuf: 2
- Sergei Gonchar: 1
- Brian Campbell: 1
Lest this seem like relatively mindless 07-08 Dion Phaneuf bashing, there is a point to this: during 2009-10, Phaneuf's role changed dramatically. Last year, he was in the top two of Flames' defensemen in Quality of Competition when he was traded. This year, he leads the Leafs' blue line in that category.
That's not all. For the first time in his career, Dion Phaneuf is more likely to be on the ice for a defensive zone faceoff than an offensive one. He's being asked to fill the role that a Norris candidate should fill: that of a guy being relied on in all situations, and asked to do as much in his own end as he does in the offensive zone.
More important is this: after an uneven start, Phaneuf is excelling in the role. James Mirtle has done a fantastic job of tracking the improvement in Phaneuf's game, and a quick glance at Phaneuf's stats line pre- and post-All Star game helps to confirm that upward shift:
- Before: 33GP – 1G – 10A – 11PTS, -8
- After: 30GP – 7G – 12A – 19PTS, +8
Phaneuf's penalty minutes have also dropped off, from 57 in the first half down to just 29 in the second half. Despite his penchant for physical play, he has been remarkably good at drawing more penalties than he takes over the course of his career (single exception: 2007-08, his Norris finalist year), and it's good to see that coming back after an uncharacteristically poor start.
If this offence is a sign of things to come, and not an aberration, it represents fantastic news for Leafs fans. A Dion Phaneuf who marries the offensive ability of his early career with the defensive responsibility he now bears will be something that he wasn't in 2007-08: a player worthy of being nominated as the best in the game at his chosen position.
April 05 2011, 06:45PM
Well at least Stajan has turned out to be a legit top-line center for the Flam...
April 05 2011, 08:44PM
There is no doubt that Phaneuf has been the Leafs' best defenceman this season. And who knows what his first half would have been like had he not sliced his leg open, like a Christmas ham, on November 3rd, missing over a month.
And, late in the season, he occasionally saw thirty minutes of ice in games. He finally showed Leafs' fans why he's the captain and what kind of player he can be.
But he's not Norris-worthy just quite yet.
It's amazed me how well he's played defensively. He's led the Leafs' blueline the last 30 games and done a very nice job of it.
Not what I expected when they got him. But at only 25, maybe we should have given him some leeway to improve.
Phaneuf wasn't the Leafs best D man this year, Schenn was. Phaneuf plays best when he's really a fourth forward, not a true stay behind the forwards and defend more than shoot guy.
Phaneuf is more like Housley, a 4th forward who plays from the back.

You should try reading the post. It reveals amazing things like the fact that Willis isn't saying he was the best over the course of the year. He's saying that he's had a great 2011.
And the fourth forward thing? Again, the post explains that he's being used to defend the opposition's best players AND starting in his own zone more than in the offensive zone.

Edinburgh welcome the return of four capped internationalists for Friday's Heineken Cup fixture against Racing Métro at Murrayfield.
Edinburgh welcome the return of four capped internationalists for Friday's Heineken Cup Pool One fixture against Racing Métro at Murrayfield.
Ben Cairns (Scotland), Ben Atiga (New Zealand) and Netani Talei (Fiji) will all start the match, while Dimitri Basilaia (Georgia) is on the bench.
The match will be the first outing since October for the overseas trio while Cairns has been absent since a pre-season match against Sale in 2011.
He launched his long-awaited comeback for Melrose last weekend and will add to his 110 appearances for Edinburgh as one as eight changes to the side.
With Racing the last match before the crucial back-to-back 1872 Cup derby matches with city rivals, Glasgow Warriors, head coach Michael Bradley welcomed the selection headache.
"We're delighted to welcome the timely return of these four players from injury, all of whom have the potential to make a significant contribution to our Heineken Cup and RaboDirect PRO12 campaigns at a crucial period in the season," he said.
"It's important that they get up to speed as quickly as possible and put pressure on their peers for a place in the playing squad in some massive games coming up in the next two months.
"The two Bens [Cairns and Atiga] in the centre offer a new and exciting partnership, while their availability means we now have a number of midfield combinations available going forward.
"The return of these players adds a significant level of competition for places and, in the case of Dimitri [Basilaia] and Netani [Talei], an up-weighted physicality, which is welcome against such a combative side as Racing Metro.
"All of these players are straining at the leash, are desperate to get a win for Edinburgh Rugby and to put in a performance worthy of reselection."
Full-back Greig Tonks is the only reselected back as Lee Jones and Dougie Fife come in for the injured Tom Brown (knee) and Tim Visser, on the wings.
Piers Francis has been handed his first start at fly-half after a competent debut off the bench in Paris last weekend and will partner in-bound scrum-half Chris Leck.
The final change comes in the pack as Robert McAlpine replaces Sean Cox to join forces with his former Scotland age-grade colleague, Grant Gilchrist, in the second-row.
Meanwhile, Racing have opted to leave Argentina playmaker Juan Martin Hernandez on the bench for a game that, should they win, would see them move temporarily top of the Pool.
Former England international back Olly Barkley remains at fly-half for the Paris side while Bernard Le Roux comes into the side at flank for absent number eight Masi Matadigo.

Nice to meet you too. Yes, I'm currently finishing up my time in the Army.
Hi there, yes my weekend was nice. This past weekend was a lot cooler in PA and not so humid. The drive back to PA sucked. I was in traffic for 30 minutes on I70. Unreal….I was so glad I was home in my apt with a cold beer a waiting me. I hate the drive.
Yes, I agreed about the college costs. I will not go back to college unless I can obtain grants or scholarships. There is a certification program that is a six week course for CJ and CS for around 125.00 a course which you take online. Come fall that might be my best option.
There are always jobs for truck drivers and nurses. HA The downside is can u see yourself driving long trips? If so I would take that under serious possibilities, the do a start up bonus etc.
Regular security guards at airports pay a decent salary.
Our age is a factor but that should not hold us back from obtaining a good living. I would hate to think that after all I have accomplish this is the best that I can do. The education program took a real hard hit in PA. Now if I move to Tennessee it would be different. I would have to investigate the cost of living etc. But that is also on the back burner.
Sorry, I didn't realize about the military thing.
Well, I connect again tomorrow. Have a nice day….
Well in the past I worked as a maintenance worker for about less than a month. I got that job because I got a certificate in the field. After that I went to a 2 year college and got a degree in computer graphics while working part time as a dishwasher. That is pretty much it.. I have tried endlessly looking for something but the economy kinda sucks right now. At least where I live.

Hello! Thank you for the instruction. I did mean to send it to you. I'm rather new at all of this public media forum, so please bear with me in this "learning curve." Your interests are very similar to mine. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks. You have a great weekend too. By any chance you know if someone with no experience can get a government job around here? I been job seeking with no luck. Thanks for any info.
LOL sorry about that … Morning, It looks like a rainy day here in Va.Im heading back to PA this afternoon. The web page can be created on google and I would just add the link to my ad. AND in big print include only serious employees respond.
It should be easy enough to do and the cost of running the ad should a small price to pay in order to get myself notice. I thought about recruiters which will be my next step. They are expensive. I also thought about going back to school for computer security certification. It is less costly and as long as I can maintain a good GPA I can advance myself through the courses. I would have to start on square 1 but that's okay. They are only six weeks long. I am thinking that is something I can do during the school year, starting in the fall.
Warehouse jobs are in demand along with truck drivers. Since I am directional challenge driving a truck would not be an option. I saw an ad online for a warehouse fork-lift person. I think driving a fork-lift would be cool. I do know how to drive a stick, my dad my loved the VW bug which at the time cost just under 2000.00 ha Most of my driving days was in a VW bug.
You have your military background that should help you …I don't they have that and that question is on all the job's forms and even for college.
I guess it is all about location.
Well, its like we are in the same boat …. Hoping to find that job that can satisfy our needs and yet keep us going. I was so bored yesterday that I started taking surveys online. OMG seriously ; )
How far a search can you go from where u live now? There is a airport here in VA Dules I think that is what it is called they are looking for security people. With your military BG that might be an option. Did you look into the airports in your area?
Well you have a good weekend … heading back today to PA Catch up with u next week.
Take care

Thanks for the help!
A new move can be exciting…I moved to Stillwater, OK for a job at OSU. The job was great. I was IT computer specialist for the landscaping department. I was busy all day. A job that was a challenge and worth it all. The downside I was alone, a college town basically. Nice but I am single. The people were very distance. Go to work –leave work- that's it. I swear that the government using their Federal Witness protection program there in Stillwater. The people were afraid to talk to you let alone go out and grab a burger. Strange place, after year an a half I got a job offer back in PA to be IT Director for a charter school. Then I was laid off. It was a bizarre twist of fate…
Not going back to school when I cant get a decent job with the degree I have now and I graduated 3.92 plus educational work experience.
I would like to move if the quality of life would change. Im here Ashburn Va. Nice place and there r jobs to be found. But if you cannot sit outside in the evenings on a summer's night because of heat—hmm, that's not good. Traffic and cost of living is high. Customer service is low.
I think we all are feeling the pressures of the declining economy and what's to come next. I do not know any one that is not struggling today.
Well I guess we just keeping trying for the connection : )
yeah, i know what u mean. In PA the educational funding has gone down the tubes. If I move to Tennessee there r a lot of teaching position available. The moving would be an issue. I would like to connect with a attorney office to do research etc as my starting point. Just need that 'in". I just read that there are not enough funding or people to examine DNA samples from crimes..So they sit on it which I can see as a problem. and I dont get it at all. train and hire people and get the results. Yet for one week of campaigning with the price tag of10 million$ for candidates. there is something wrong with this system and the funding to listen to a lot of BS and lies. for 10 B$ seriously. I rather the skip it all because its worthless info that changes once in office. HA wow
I just finished with my Bachelors degree in May 2012.What are some things I should for under my local county, state, and city for beginners? Also, I just turned 23 and I stay in Atlanta, GA. I haveny tried any local sectors, and im not really sure about joining the armed forces. That would be a last resort.
Hi there, sorry I'm traveling back and forth from PA to VA. I have search everywhere. I believe in order to find a job you are going to need an "in". I hate to say it but it's not what you know but who you know kinda-of thing. I really like to research to dig to find an answer. Not sure if that is what an employer wants.... But I know that work is tedious but to solve the puzzle is something that interest me now. I going back to school in the fall. Although, rewarding and dealing with children is always a challenge.. I just need something else..I have done this for so long from elementary to college level.. Just want a something different. Exciting to find an answer.....I know sounds weird but that is where i am gifted. Any suggestions besides playing FBI games :)
I tried it. I have no experience though
Hello, thanks for the comment. I really dont know how to use this site, I ran acrossed it searching for government jobs online. Im still searching, so thanks.

Skip to comments.Live free or sneeze? New Hampshire weighs ban on scents worn by state workers
Posted on 02/12/2012 4:17:55 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Less is more, according to New Hampshire lawmakers debating whether to ban the use of scented or fragrant soaps by state employees.
Under House Bill 1444, state workers who interact with the public would be prohibited from wearing fragrances or scented products while on the job, MyFoxBoston reported.
The reason for the proposed ban -- exposure to scented products can irritate or worsen symptoms for people with asthma or allergies.
"The chemicals in some of these products can trigger the nasal congestion, sneezing and the runny nose," Dr. Stanley Fineman, an allergist with Emory University and the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic, told MyFoxBoston. "With the asthmatics, there's really good data showing their lung function changes when they're exposed to these compounds."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
If they can do it to their workers, they can do it to all workers...
Nanny State PING!
New Hampshire will stink.
New Hampshire - Live Free Or Die!
New Hampshire - Live Scent Free Or Answer To Big Brother!
Control the little things and the big ones will be easy.
..they want to regulate smell? So, is there a law on body odor?
Guess that excludes legislators and governors since they do their own thing without any interaction with the little people.
Already in place in some areas.
If you do not have allergies, this probably does sound very silly to you. But, honestly, as someone who suffered for years because of fragrances worn by other women at work, I can tell you I would have welcomed such a ban in my workplace.
"..they want to regulate smell? So, is there a law on body odor?"
This really isn't about smell, it's a weird "green" anti-corporate fringe movement, that I first encountered in Canada about a decade ago. Think of - "I'm allergic to wheat, I'm a vegan, I'm dying from second-hand smoke, genetically engineered food is killing me, and I'm cripplingly allergic to any perfumes in the air."
It's all a continuum of green madness. It's a religion of rightous self-loathing.
When applied modestly, perfume enhances a woman's sex appeal.
The sterilization of our lives is probably why they are asthmatic to begin with.
So, you can't throw frisbees on the beaches of LA county and you can't wear deodorant in New Hampshire....
What a wimpy world we live in.....
I need a cigarette...
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them...." ~Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged~
We who live here really need to ban the Massholes from moving up.
But then there's always that wench who inappropriately pours it on before going to work. It can be a really obnoxious thing, and I have no allergies.
Like many things, this sort of thing should be dealt with by social pressure. But that is politically incorrect and legally impossible in many cases, so legislation gets resorted to.
Libertarian ping
...I suppose you would have to completely prohibit use. There would be no good way to accurately and consistently measure...
...on another subject, I would like to see legislation on the use of acronyms in the workplace.
These people will be the first to go during the 2012 Apocalypse!
Might be the fastest way to dispense with all of this crap short of bloodshed.
I can't imagine what the DMV will smell like in July if the air conditioning goes!
Absolutely loving it! First they came for cigarettes in the workplace which was ok. Then they came for cigarettes in government facilities, which was still ok. But then they came for cigarettes in privately owned establishments and it was unconstitutional, but the voters refused to see that this was a terrible overreach of power. I can only hope that the idiots that voted against smoking in all public venues, lose their horrific perfume and understand what they did.
Seriously. If you are allergic to that stuff then it is a living He** to be around it. It causes a lot more problems than a running nose. It is like sniffing Glue. Headaches,Loss of concentration, and general sense of stupor, are some of the symptoms. And If you can't get away from it then it kills you immune system so that you get colds constantly. I personally went through this at a job. I could follow someones trail through a building just by following the sent. Many of these people dump an entire bottle of cologne on them every day. You people who think this should be a protected right to force people to breath that stuff are ignorant. A little might be OK. But the whole room should not smell for an hour after you leave.
I used to say that I was going to get some skunk scent and put it on for the day. I bet you same people would be complaining up a storm. You would demand that such a fellow employee clean it off or be fired. Hypocrites.
Thing is - some of the scents people wear DO cause severe reactions to those around them and not just a few sneezes. Case in point. A woman wearing a heavy perfume walked past my mother in a grocery store. My mother fainted immediately. Thankfully, a man right behind her caught her before she hit the floor. Later we found out that people with heart conditions - like my mother - can be very sensitive to certain chemicals used in perfumes. Interestingly, after my mother underwent by-pass surgery, the sensitivity to perfumes went away.
I honestly think I would make working at a job like this a living hell.
Smuggle in perfume, spray it in random places, drop some on the floor, wipe it under tables in the cafeterias..
I doubt I would stay employed long in any of these new police state jobs that try to run your life both on and off the job.
Be careful what you wish for, some people splash on the scents because they don't like to bathe.
I went scent free maybe 30 years ago. After a while, my sensitivity to perfumes, colognes, and scented soaps, increased dramatically. Frankly, I think my normal sense of smell returned.
I can't stand to be around people who douse themselves with scents, these days.
I'd think this article was a joke, but not now a days. Only government bureaucrats can take a rather simple problem and complicate it into laws and regulations requiring specifications, extensive rules, inspectors and unnecessary expense. I just wonder if anyone with more sense than a dust mop ever thought to check to see if this problem was 1 in 2 encounters or 1 in 50,000 and if a little leadership could solve the problem?
both reps who sponsored this bill are republicans.
wtf are they thinking? several bills have been filed in this vein. they are looking to lose their super majority in the house.
bill details:
Oops, leadership and common sense are probably not listed in the bureaucrat's job description.
I agree. People can do whatever they want on their own property and slather themselves with anything they can tolerate, but once out in public place we're obliged to show some sense of decorum. Smelling like a tear-gas factory, a rabbit cage or turd is nobody's right as long as they have the power to control themselves.
I got to thinking though-- I wonder if someone with such a heart condition or severe allergies could sue the maker of the offending product?
'When applied modestly, perfume enhances a womans sex appeal.'
I think most of this "allergy' stuff with respect to perfume is a result of the cheap knock-off garbage so availible today. Even a few drops of some of these chemical bombs can send people not otherwise allergic into runny nosed red eyed sneezin hell. The expensive stuff, even when liberally applied will just be strong, not virulent.
Like Newt said, first thing is to defund them all. He didn't really want to defund the EPA, he proposed remaking it....and giving it a different name....
It's odd that folks call them themselves Conservatives on FR, but jump on the 'ban' bandwagon the second a law comes up that address their pet peeve. Leave it to a peeve and get over yourselves. Decreasing freedom is not essentially Conservative.
There are enough bans that need repeal.
When NH republicans lose their majorities in the state house and senate, there will be the usual bitching by Conservatives on this board. And they will lose their majorities due to multple bills filed like this. If you suppor this, don't whine when it loses and Republicans lose here.
Seriously, if it's that bad, how do you go out in public? There are all kinds of smells out there, and it's just a part of life. Like with the peanut allergies, how could such a person go to a mall since every mall I've ever been in has a Chinese restaurant cooking kung pao chicken?
Right. And the way I see it. If I can smell it from a foot away then that may be my problem. But if I can smell it from 10 feet away or even 100 feet away...Then that is their problem. Anyone who puts that much on has mental problems anyways. They are insecure. They are trying to attract others by means of a forced chemical reaction. It is almost like some form of witchcraft.
You notice that many here think it is just a matter of others being offended by a smell. What they don't get is that it makes others very sick. It is kind of like spreading peanut butter around people with a peanut allergy. But they just don't get it.
Thats why I have been saying for years.. if its really that bad, how do these people live? I suspect this is just a convenient way to control others and their behavior, and I don't even wear any scents.
Honestly its time to start calling out some of the more obvious fakers. I know some people have a legit allergy, but I also know there are a lot of fakers out there.
My mother is very sensitive to that sort of stuff, but she's retired. However, I have not heard her advocating for a ban on scents in my town.
My gym, however, has asked its members not to wear heavy scents. That would pertain mostly to women, I suppose.
On the other hand, why in the world does it have to be a law? Why can't the governor issue an executive order for state government workplaces?
Maybe it's because if they can do a law for state workers, they think they can eventually do it for local government workers and the private sector, instead of letting them determine their own policies. Camels nose in the tent, and all that.
"I cant imagine what the DMV will smell like in July if the air conditioning goes!"
While living in Moscow 20 some odd years ago, and maybe still today, they would shut off their centralized hot water for a month or two in rotating areas of the city to work on the system.
Adding to no hot water the scarcity of perfume, deoderant and soap and you have the most unimagineable smell I equate with Communism. You would get it in full doses in subways and on buses.
The building I worked at doesn't enforce it. I wound up in the hospital for an overnight stay, stress tests the next day, etc., due to someone's fragrances. My boss understood and did what she could, then finally suggested I consider telecommuting. That has been such a blessing for me, you can't even know.
I don't really want laws to ban fragrances but whatever chemicals these companies are putting in them needs to be exposed. I can handle true perfumes, flowers, and such. Even all the oily odors from an auto shop or junk yard is completely bearable. But the cocktails these fragrances are are practically poison.
I got news for you, I tend to stay away from a lot of functions and areas due to fragrances.
One day, I slipped up and went to a wedding shower for my sister's future daughter-in-law. Neither one of us thought ahead. The door opened, and I got nailed before I even walked in the door. Within minutes, my throat was tightening up and I had to leave. My brother, who was working out with me swimming, saw first-hand what it did to me and my ability to take air in. It took some time for it all to get out of my system.
Your question about going out in public: I tend to go when I know there won't be many people around. I shop late at night or early in the morning, although holding my breath and grabbing fragrance-free laundry soap in the middle of aisle is a challenge. The occasional movie is at times when only a handful of people are in the theater. Such like that.
It's a pain but I simply deal with it the best I can.
You're right. It has nothing to do with the smell and everything to do with the chemicals used to make those fragrances.
It's incredible,isn't it?
I doubt that we could list all of the laws that have taken away personal choice since you and I were girls.
And then,of course,the safety rules for babies and children. It boggles the mind. The removal of the high diving board at our local swimming pool was the last straw. The pool was 12' deep and jumping off the board was a rite of passage for my kids and their friends. No one ever was hurt. Now——gone. {Of course that ended the diving lessons)
I'm glad I was born when I was—we had the best of it.
Perfume is not that big a problem, you can always move away but the air freshener that they use in some places is enough to knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.
I'm not green. I don't eat organic. I've got some possible gluten allergies but I'm ignoring it. Second hand smoke is gross but doesn't bug me.
Artificial fragrances can cause my throat to close up. At the very least they give me a headache. I've had them send me into an altered state where I couldn't drive or judge distances. Don't believe me if you like but it's not imaginary. I know the exact moment my throat first closed up in reaction to perfume. That was freaky.
I'm not asking people to ban it. I've removed fragrances from my life and my friends know not to wear perfume or heavy deodorants to my home. But it's a real thing and it's important that people know that it's not just an imaginary self-loathing. I wouldn't use stupid, ineffectual, expensive organic shampoo every morning by choice, I assure you!
It's so rare to hear from other people with fragrance allergies. Have you ever had a headache or something from perfume that left you in an altered state? I only had that twice but it's freaked me out because I felt drunk, or dizzy, not able to judge distances.
You sound worse than me though I'm blessed to work from home and go out pretty infrequently. I worry though that I'm setting my daughter up to be sensitive to scents because I don't have any in the house; my husband now gets headaches from fragrances because we've been fragrance free for our whole marriage.
Like I said to Big Redd, why couldn't the edict be an executive order, since it involves state government workplaces?
Maybe it's because the lawmakers introducing the bills eventually want to ban scents in all workplaces statewide.
I am sorry you all are so sensitive to perfumes, et al., but why should YOU get to ban what people wear in MY workplace?
Wanna bet that the crap that makes you ill comes from China?
And if that isn't bad enough, you know what happens when you get "Secret" in your mouth? It's like on Tom and Jerry where the cat gets a mouthful of Alum and his mouth shrinks too small to eat the mouse. I would barely be able to talk, she had a Southern giggle, and I was the one always saying "Ith thnot funny!" LOL
Garlic cloves would be better.
And bacon.

There aren't a ton of Mark Sanchez supporters these days. A horrid 2012 erased much of the goodwill the New York Jets quarterback built during AFC championship runs in 2009 and 2010.
CBS analyst Bill Cowher, who won the 2005 Super Bowl as the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, still believes.
"There has been so much transition going on there," Cowher said, The Star-Ledger's Dave Hutchinson reported. "Now he has another new coordinator. Another new offensive system. The only thing I will say is (the Jets) went to two AFC Championship games with Mark Sanchez in his first couple of years.
"Granted, he was surrounded by a very good supporting cast, a very good defense, a good running game. But I don't think it's fair to throw this all on him when you had a banged-up offensive line, you had no skill position players."
Former quarterback and ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer recently said fired offensive coordinator Tony Sparano was a horrible influence on Sanchez. The offense also was devoid of talent at the offensive skill positions once Santonio Holmes went down with a foot injury.
"I don't know where (Sanchez) is (as a player) but I think to say what he is based on last year's performance is unfair," Cowher said. "(Dustin) Keller wasn't there early in the year. Santonio Holmes wasn't there. They were playing with maybe a third and fourth receiver as their best receiver.
"If they can get Santonio Holmes back and get a few good skill position players around him, let's see what he can do. Again, he proved that when he has had a supporting cast, he took them to two AFC Championship games. I'm not saying he's that type of quarterback, but those are the facts."
Still, Sanchez has a lot to clean up after posting 18 interceptions and 14 fumbles. Marty Mornhinweg should be an improvement at offensive coordinator, but the Jets continue to need help on offense. They have the opportunity to address that with the No. 9 and No. 13 picks in the draft, though cornerback is a need after Darrelle Revis was traded.
Bottom line, Sanchez has to make better decisions in 2013 and the Jets need to provide more help

Story of Chetan Bhagat
Ya ri8
According to the story ive made 3rd mistake
incrediblethanks alot
read at one sitting....not goes out of the subject & able to hold a reader until end. Also have physical copy of the same.
A very subtly and softly written book. Narrative moves perfectly from one scene to another without any apperent break. Captivating book. I could not put it down till I finished reading it completely !!
i like the way of story telling..its not trendy nor sexy but tragedy plays,.
All Chetan Bhagat books are very good, and this one is also really interesting to read. All the standard elements of CB, from first person narration to good mix of humor and human emotions are for us to get really involved.
Not very great. It moves very slow most of the times.
when i read that Kai Po Che! is based on this book, i wanted to read this book
I am a very big fan of him ..every book touches the core of heart..

Bills minicamp observations: Day 1
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jun 17 2014 9:50PM
The voluntary portion of the offseason is officially over. In fact, all that separates the offseason from being completed is just two more practices and about a month of downtime before we get back into full swing with the start of training camp.
The Buffalo Bills took the field, mandatorily, for the first time in 2014. It's the first of a three-day mandatory minicamp in which all players must be in attendance unless they are excused by the coaching staff.
Did the offense improve from their less than stellar end to Organized Team Activities? Or did the defense continue to get the best of them?
Here are some notes from the opening day of minicamp:
1) EJ See-Saw
- Throughout the afternoon we got a taste of both good EJ and bad EJ. On the positive side, he looked poised throwing it to his tight end regardless if it was Lee Smith or Tony Moeaki on the receiving end. It wasn't just little dump-off passes either. One throw hit Moeaki in stride deep down the left hash for a big gain. He looked poised on those throws and displayed some patience in other instances throughout the 11-on-11 portion of practice. However, bad EJ reared his ugly head at times during the session as well. He got caught staring down his receiver running a flag route to the right sideline, allowing the safety to read him the whole way. Undrafted rookie Deon Broomfield read Manuel's eyes, broke on the ball and jumped in front of the receiver for an easy interception. That was coupled with some deep misfires and a pair of plays that ended up in fumbles in the backfield. It's only June, and there are many practices to get things back in order. However, Manuel needs to get more consistent through his practice habits which will, in theory, prepare him to do it in a regular season game setting. Rome wasn't built in a day, though.
2) Goodwin goes deep
- The offensive play of the day involved the combination of wide receiver Marquise Goodwin and backup quarterback Thad Lewis. Goodwin was up against cornerback Corey Graham in man-to-man coverage, and the speedy second-year receiver blew right by him. Lewis immediately saw the step, reared back and threw his entire body into the throw, hitting Goodwin perfectly in stride and for a theoretical touchdown. Many of Goodwin's receiver teammates, including Robert Woods, Kevin Elliott, Ramses Barden and Marcus Easley all ran over to Goodwin along the sideline to congratulate him on the big play. They also gave some guff to Graham for not being able to keep up with the speedster. Graham didn't say a word and just kept walking along.
3) Hairston in play for right guard?
- The Bills and head coach Doug Marrone are clearly not happy with their right guard situation, because they are trying a lot of different combinations throughout the first few weeks of offseason workouts. This time around, a normal offensive tackle got some reps with the first team at right guard in place of the incumbent Kraig Urbik. Chris Hairston, who got some backup reps at guard last week, split first-team duties with Urbik throughout the practice on Tuesday. It's clear that the Bills are looking to upgrade both positions on the right side of the offensive line, but they're just seeing if they can unearth any gems on their roster before settling on the Urbik and Erik Pears duo once again. Pears will face competition from rookie Cyrus Kouandjio, but Urbik's main competition has yet to be distinguished. Once training camp comes around it will start to discern itself a bit, but as for now, Marrone is just seeing what everyone can do.
4) Searcy getting first-team reps
- With the start of mandatory minicamp, the top safety on the Bills' roster got back to work during team drills. Aaron Williams, who makes the cosmetic switch from 'strong' to 'free' safety, got his fair share of reps with the first team on Tuesday. Standing beside him on all of those reps? Fourth-year player Da'Norris Searcy. Searcy is in a clear battle with second-year player Duke Williams to be the starter alongside the other Williams that plays safety. While this isn't a clear indication of who the coaching staff might favor, it appears that Searcy at least got the first crack at it due to his experience in actual game settings. It would be a surprise if Duke Williams didn't get ample opportunity to show what he can do alongside Aaron Williams throughout the summer.
5) Lawson, Branch, Dareus all return
- As the practices shift from 'voluntary' to 'mandatory,' the Bills welcomed back three players that were notably absent for different reasons. Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus has had a couple of problems with the law this offseason, and both he and Marrone felt it was best for the player to stay away from the remainder of OTAs. Defensive tackle Alan Branch and defensive end Manny Lawson, each who are veterans that skipped OTAs in 2013, resumed their stances and did not show up to practice throughout the offseason. All three were back in action on Tuesday, with Dareus getting first-team reps alongside Kyle Williams. Branch and Lawson, much like last year, were worked in slowly to team drills mostly with the second and third units. They'll get back up to full speed by the time training camp rolls around in July.
Other notes:
- The Bills had 100-percent attendance, outside of the three players that were excused from practice: left tackle Cordy Glenn (illness), tight end Scott Chandler (personal) and offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson (travel) all could not be at practice. The other 87 players were there.
- A few players worked along the sidelines with the training staff. Wide receiver Marcus Easley, cornerback Darius Robinson, defensive end Bryan Johnson and wide receiver Cordell Roberson all couldn't go through the full paces of the practice.
- The Bills welcomed in three tryout players for the duration of their three-day minicamp: wide receiver Tori Gurley, cornerback Sam Miller and cornerback Kamaal McIlwain are all getting a look from the coaching staff this week.
- Practice resumes at 3:15 pm on Wednesday.

Great Alternative to Oxfords
"I love oxfords, but have been getting bored of the trend. These shoes are a great pair to change things up a bit. This shoe fits true-to-size. I feel it is very slightly narrow. But my foot width is just a little bit wider than average. But I can still wear these shoes for hours with any troubles. I usually don't like pointy-toed shoes. But these look beautiful and are comfortable."

"These flats are cute and unique. They are a true cream color, not an off-white. The first time I wore them they rubbed a bit at the back of the heel, but I think they should break in easily. They fit true to size."

Comfy and Cute!
"I wasn't sure about ordering shoes online, but these are great! I ordered them in the ivory color and they have sort of a metallic sheen to them, but it is not very obvious or overpowering. Great shoe and fast shipping!"

These differences include variations in legal systems, accounting standards, and regulatory frameworks, as well as differences in the development of financial and capital markets, and macroeconomic factors. In addition, we expect that firm-level characteristics – including performance, leverage, and ownership – affect the resolution of financial distress. For example, possible outcomes for firms in distress may include out-of-court renegotiations, acquisitions by healthy firms, or in-court reorganizations or liquidations. The following papers address these questions using both country- and firm-level datasets of firms in financial distress.
For instance, the following plot shows country-average values of the CLSA firm-level governance index plotted against the legality index. The relationship is strongly positive, indicating that countries with better legal systems have on average higher firm-level governance.

Your Consultation
We understand that the decisions you make regarding your health and appearance are some of the most important decisions you will ever make. Feeling secure about your choice comes from choosing a surgeon you can comfortably communicate with about your surgical goals.
We offer a consultation for you to acquire additional knowledge on the procedures of interest to you. During your initial consultation, you will view a video or videos outlining the surgical approach. You will also meet with Dr. Emory to discuss your options and personal concerns. Appointments can be made by calling us at (276) 623-4500 or toll free (888) 611-2191 or by emailing us at email@example.com@aol.com .
The procedures we provide are as unique as the patients themselves, requiring an individualized approach which may include a combination of surgical and non-surgical options to achieve the desired outcome. However, the final decision regarding your treatment will come from your own appearance goals and Dr. Emory's assessment of which procedure is in your best interest.
Aesthetic plastic surgery is not covered by most insurance plans, but it is made affordable at Plastic Surgery Specialists. Due to improvements in surgery and anesthesia, procedures that were once only for the rich and famous are now available to people of all incomes.
