A case of the Tuesdays
Jason Gregor
January 28 2009 07:35AM
"WE WANT TEN! WE WANT TEN! WE WANT TEN!" rained down from the rafters with five minutes to go in last night's debacle. You know it's not a good game when the home crowd is routing for the opponent to score double digits in goals. But for the only time all night the hometown crowd got what they wanted -- a 10 spot.
Does Groundhog Day have to happen consecutively, or can it happen 42 days later?
It did last night for the Oilers and the Nation -- with one difference. This time the opposition scored ten goals rather than a measly nine. If you were at Rexall Place last night then you witnessed history, because an eight-goal loss is the worst home loss in the rich history of the Oil. On Dec. 16 Chicago led 3-0, before the Oilers scored a PP goal.
- Last night Buffalo led 4-0, before the Oilers scored a PP goal.
- Then Chicago scored six straight before the Oilers buried an EV goal.
- Then Buffalo potted five straight before the Oilers buried an EV goal.
But Buffalo, to the delight of the crowd, responded and scored their 10th, shorthanded for good measure, and mercifully the night was over for the fans.
The Oilers are now 1-3 at home on Tuesdays this year, and have been outscored 25-10 in those four games.
Since the lockout here is their home record on Tuesdays:
- 2005-06: 2-3-1-1
- 2006-07: 3-3 and they gave up seven goals to the Avs one night.
- 2007-08: 5-5-0-1
So they aren't as bad in the past few years, but now I would guess Oiler fans are starting to say "I Don't Like Tuesdays". Did you know there was a song titled exactly that?
I've never heard of Geoffrey Keezer, and now I think he is even more of a dork for not having audio or lyrics to the song.
While you wake up today, pissed at another horrific Oiler loss, here is a classic song and even better video to let you release the rage.
The Boomtown Rats -- what a legendary '80s band. Sing along, and just switch Monday with Tuesday and you should feel better. If not, look at the video and take in the uncanny resemblance between the lead singer and Tom Gilbert. Look closely, it's there, especially the fascination and complete NO REASON to be playing with his hair.
Still can't see it? How about the back up singer top right. He looks like almost any Russian who played in the league in the '80s. And what is with the bottom right singer? Does he have lock jaw before his big "NO REASONS" contribution to the song? And top left guy has an eerie resemblance to Raimo Summanen. Bottom left guy I'm guessing is a mix between BM and JS.
Regardless of who they look like, the synchronicity from left to right with the "NO REASONS" should make this one of the top 10 videos of all time. Or how the couch scenes that made this an absolutely ground breaking video, one that has never been duplicated.
I'm sure you thought the same thing when you awoke back on Dec. 17. "The good news is there is no way the Oilers can play that bad again this year, no chance."
Well, you were wrong.
They did play worse, much worse. The game was over before the two-minute mark of the first period, when the Sabres went ahead 2-0. From there it was just an exercise in futility.
This team does not know how to handle success. Just when they get on a bit of a roll where their coach is cautiously optimistic, the fans think they are turning the corner and even the media think they might just be able to move from pretender to contender, they soil the sheets to the tenth degree.
Groundhog Day has nothing on the Oilers. It has been Groundhog Year since 2000. Struggle with mediocrity, stay close until March and then scratch and claw to try and make the playoffs. Three times it works, three times is doesn't and one time they absolutely collapse, only to win their final game and avoid getting into the lottery.
Until this team can put together a string on solid hockey games, before their usual March push for the playoffs, it is impossible to call them anything other than a pretender.
And Wanye, how do you explain Denis Grebeshkov being an EVEN player in both lopsided loses this year. Outscored 19-4, yet your favourite player was even…Truly amazing.
I'll leave you with another completely nonsensical video, but a song title that is fitting, because I'm sure some of you did this last night. Unable to shake the gory, repetitive, embarrassing, and horrific display you watched last night at Rexall Place.
Haha you are up early Gregor. A picture says a thousand words doesn't it Wanye? You picked a good one for this article.
Wow - was working late & caught the score after the second 7-1. I am so happy that I didn't waste anytime watching it on TV or opening my wallet to go to the game. Disgracefull is about the only way you can put it. 2 home games this year the visitor has managed to put up at least 9 goals.
When I went to the Chigago game the fans were chanting 'we want 10? as well. It didn't hapen though. If you have the stomach to sit through an entire game like that after dropping a couple hundy on food, booze, parking & tickets you usually want to see something special…
January 28 2009, 07:49AM
The whole business about the "Do-over" is what really is ridiculous. SOMEONE from the Oilers needs to step up and apologize to its customers for that steaming pile of crap that they pulled in more than a million bucks for.
ESPECIALLY since it happens again.
Would be good to see the mainstream media calling for this.
"You know what fans, whose tax payers dough we're going to be burning up the phones to Ottawa and Edmonton to try to get or hands on right away?
Yeah, sorry about that game."
But no, that would involve the 'braintrust' heaping blame on themselves - and we wouldn't want that.
P.S. Hey Jay....it's the BooMtown Rats.
January 28 2009, 07:53AM
I stopped watching when it was 4-0. And a couple hours later heard about it when I was bombarded by texts and calls from almost every flames fan I know.
Dare I say the good news is we can't possibly play worse then that?
Even the worst team in the league hasn't been beaten this bad all year. The Islanders were beaten by 6 goals by the same Sabres, then by 7 goals by the Penguins.
And we want to make the play-offs...
The start of the year everyone kept saying 'be patient, wait until we start playing games at home'. Well being on the road or at home it doesn't seem to matter.
Guess we need another players only meeting...
Gregor Robin left my families names at the gate to watch practise today but forgot to tell us the time, we would like to come and watch, but we live an hour away, do you know the time it starts. thanks
January 28 2009, 08:05AM
I was working last night,so I'd periodically check the score on the web. Here's a synopsis:
2-0 1st period. "Crap. Oh well, it's still early."
4-1 end of 1st (I think). "What the hell? At least the Oil are on the board I guess."
7-1 2nd. I actually started to laugh at this point.
I guess every team craps the bed like this once in awhile. It is worrying that these guys have done it twice in half a season, but you are right on the money Jason, that with every step towards being good/great they seem to shrink back into mediocrity.
January 28 2009, 08:09AM
*clap clap*
This team is either scared to be contenders (hence the constant shitting the bed when they get to the hump) or just has no desire other than to play golf and hit Diesel.
Slap Shot... Hockey Movie...
One of the players is on a TV show, explaining Hockey...
Tells the host, that if you get sent to the box..
Well... Shame on you Oilers ! Shame, Shame, Shame !!
( Which is what I tell the dog, when he make a mess on the floor...I say it when a mess is left on Ice, too )
January 28 2009, 08:23AM
My favourite part is when Horcoff decided to NOT block Spacek's point shot for the seventh goal. Wait, no, it was when we were down 7-1 and no one started a fight. Wait, it was when Derek Roy pasted Pouliot into the boards, with an 8 goal lead and M.A.P. did nothing about it. Looks like PRIDE took a night off as well. That's about par for the course.
January 28 2009, 08:30AM
Lots of attempted humour in this post so allow me to add another zinger: how funny is it that the Oilers show trust in JDD??? Or at least they do for now;)
The netminding was beyond terrible last night. There's not a team in the league that could survive their netminder not making one bloody save.
But, you know, we've got a 4th round pick and Ryan Stone as netminding insurance so we should be fine if Roli's current slide goes on for another five-to-seven games.
Dude's been bad for the greater part of eight games now so how much longer can we survive it?
There's no excuse for seeing this happen twice in 6 weeks - on home ice no less. It's time Lowe and Tambellini start asking some tough questions from the coaching staff as to how ill-prepared this team is for the start of games. Why are two slow 4th liners - Strudwick and Stortini playing instead of Brule and/or Potulny. And speaking of Lowe and Tambs what have they done to improve the product on the ice and address the lack of a 3rd/4th line center for the PK.
Changes to the roster are required. As a season ticket holder, this is not acceptable !!!
@ email@example.com:
Come on man - watched hilites (low-lites) & no goalie can stop a 3 way passing play for a (Hecht) goal. MacT said it wasn't goaltending that lost the game. Although an arguement can be made that they lost after 8 shots. Rolie stunk - but JDD was a victim of the team's intensity.
Turn-overs, PK & not finishing checks were proably the biggest reasons for the goals (from the highlites & seen).
Where was this "hot" goaltender named Roloson last night? The guy was beyond pathetic. This is further proof that morons are running the show with this organization. Roli's play started to slide two games before Garon was dealt. Now with NO ONE to push him, Roli will regress back to the joke of a goaltender he was last season. Bank on it.
Oh well, nothing will happen as we've become the Toronto of the West. This organization is a joke.
How are those jocks smelling Katz?
The game was lost after Rolosuck let in 3 brutal goals.
Thank God we kept Roli over a player that LOVED playing for Edmonton (unlike Roli who moved his family out of the city).
January 28 2009, 08:55AM
Hmmmm . . . last night we lose 10-2.
Also last night, the Wild win 6-0.
Note that Friday's game is against the Wild; a 4-point game with the loser likely dropping below the playoff cut.
Anyone nervous besides me?
January 28 2009, 08:56AM
[edit button]
Sorry, 6-1 Wild. Not nearly as bad . . .
"Protect This House"
I guess the boys figure the house isn't worth protecting.
What a joke. There will be no playoffs this year as long as MacT, Lowe, and Roloson are here. Bank on it.
The media didn't ask the hard questions. Why not ask Moreau or MacT the following:
Why didn't the Oilers respond physically before the game got out of hand...Does anyone know how to throw a hit?
In a game of shinny; Why can't our "skill" guys convert 35 shots into more than two goals...especially when the opposition was easily able to score ten?
You want a "do-over". You say that, "How the team responds to this is key." The last blowout cme at the head of a losing streak... Are you concerned about the glaring holes in the defensive zone coverage heading into an important divisional game Friday against a tough Minnesota squad that put up six even strenght goals tonight?
C'mon. We Want To Know!
Come on guys that was a bad game lets not forget that they were 5-1 in the last six, every team lays an egg, but it looks like Robin is going to win that han sandwich, the pk was no were neer 85%, do you want that on brown or white
January 28 2009, 09:08AM
Buck75 is right, there is more than enough blame to go around for this one. Christ, even Joey Moss should get teh bag skate today.
Ah, the consistently inconsistent Oilers strike again. They win 5 of 6 before the break and it's all High-fives and giggles. Then they show up with a game like this. Brutal! It's difficult to be a fan of this team right now. I liken it to dating someone with Multiple Disorder Syndromn. "I hope the good Oilers show up next time."
Note to Mac T: There's no such thing as a "Do-over" in the NHL. Those two points are gone and ain't ever coming back. If we miss the playoffs by three points like we did last year, I hope I don't hear any of them saying how close the playoff race was. If you lose two games like we did to Chicago and Buffalo, you don't deserve the playoffs. Lack of motivation, lack of execution, lack of intensity, lack of goaltending, lack of responsibility......
@ swany:
Every team lays a egg 10-2???
Nope playoff teams never ever lose that bad. I had hopes up when we beat Columbus. I said we were going to make the playoffs because I never thought we would get 10 goals scored on us. Wow. Playoffs are a dream at this point.

I could live with one bad game loss to Chicago ... ya, it sucks, let's put it behind us and move on. Now, this is a second time. How is managment, the coaching staff and the team going to respond ?
And doing NOTHING, is not acceptable !!!

Ok, you're out of the fan club. We can't be having any of that 47 games in when we're sitting in 8th.

@ firstname.lastname@example.com:
Couldn't agree more!!!
Roli's last 8 games he has a GAA of 3.58 and save percentage of .866.
Did I mention that in Garon's last 8 appearances he had a save percentage of .908 and a GAA of 2.71???

Actually you are wrong...In 1984 the year the Oilers won their first cup...
They lost, 7-2 in LA 8-3 in Toronto 9-2 in Wash 11-0 in Hartford 7-1 v. St. Louis...
So, even playoff teams lose that bad...Differnce is to lose two games like that at home...Just saying...

You think that when you are losing 6-1 that you should fight, well in todays soft game it doesn't happen. And if you watched closely when it was 2-0, Strudwick asked Rivet twice on a shift to go and he skated away. The Sabres didn't have many guys who would fight, so jumping a guy and getting an extra 2 and 5 doesn't prove anything. Today's game isn't played that way, so if you think that is a TOUGH question, you're mistaken.
In a game of shinny; Why can't our "skill" guys convert 35 shots into more than two goals…especially when the opposition was easily able to score ten?
Yes, really smart question. Why didn't you score more. Ummm maybe because THEIR goalie made a save...
You want a "do-over". You say that, "How the team responds to this is key." The last blowout cme at the head of a losing streak…
They lost next night in Van and then had a OT loss to Ana before winning three straight...Not really a head of a losing streak.
Are you concerned about the glaring holes in the defensive zone coverage heading into an important divisional game Friday against a tough Minnesota squad that put up six even strenght goals tonight?
Yes, comparing the up-tempo offence of the Sabres to the Wild's pop-gun offence. That would be smart, considering the Wild are the 5th lowest scoring team in the league.
You don't ask about a game that is three days away when a team just got their ass handed to them. You ask about that game...which I did.
The main question, and it was asked, "Why is this team unable to handle success?"
No one knows, and until the problem is solved you will continue to see these results. Even good teams know they can't just show up and win, and for years now this team after a few good games feels to good about themselves.

Not true ... loved the video ... watched every second of it ... but it made me cry ... Tell, me why, tell me why ...

Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down
The good news is that if they lose 10-2 or 3-2 it counts the same in the standings. Hopefully they used up all the GA for the next few games and they will post a bunch of shutouts now.
Jason: Has the bag skate started yet? Are we going to see both stortini and macintyre in the lineup vs minny?
@ Jason Gregor: Yeah I should of stated at HOME!!!
The most disheartening factor of yesterdays game was the lack of emotion shown. I can take an ass whooping by a better team if the team getting squashed at least shows an ounce of emotion. NONE of the oilers looked remotely interested or pissed off or anything and that is inexcusable. I hope they line up garbage cans along the boards and make the players use them today.
@ Jason Gregor: Yeah I should of stated at HOME!!!
Thanks for the Info though
January 28 2009, 10:22AM
Wait...wait...wait. Was it all THAT bad? We DID get 37 shots off. I would say THAT is an improvement over earlier in the season when we could barely get off 17 in a game. Also, almost every single goal by the Sabre's was highlight quality. It was almost like watching the All Star Game <-- but one-sided and with no stars.
Ok, so maybe the defense fell completely flat which, in turn, allowed those highlight reel goals, but there are SOME positives. Also Ryan Miller was a WALL. He had some pretty amazing saves. 17 shots in the first... if we had converted on any of those it may have been a different story.
Just keepin' the faith over here.
January 28 2009, 10:24AM
I wonder if the Oiler vets regret getting completely bombed all weekend in Vegas (normally something I would fully support), but they still looked drunk out there last night.
January 28 2009, 10:24AM
I guess some of them partied too hard in Las Vegas over the break. Tsk tsk tsk.

Practice starts at 11...It will be interesting to see...I wouldn't be surprised if both of them dress, because after the debacle last night, there is no way they want Strudwick or Stortini fighting the Bogeyman at home. A MacIntyre/Bogeyman clash could be something to look forward to, but last time I thought it would happen it didn't, so I'm not predicting it this time. Only because I don't want to jinx it...
January 28 2009, 10:31AM
2 of the worst losses in franchise history, lock MacT up with an extension and a raise. bring in Petr Klima to coach our pp and Craig Muni for the pk. or some other shitty ex oilers cause thats how we roll.
January 28 2009, 10:32AM
"they soil the sheets to the tenth degree."
Hands down the best Gregor quote to date.
January 28 2009, 10:38AM
There is a big difference between Boggeyman fighting Macintyre in their building, while theyre up, and Boogeyman fighting Macintyre in our building if they need energy. Plus from what ive been in the home games ive been to since Macintyre has come back, is that no one will go with him. Ive seen numerous occasions of him whacking guys on the legs and yelling "Lets GO!!" with no response.
But Jason, what was Mactavish's response to your "Why cant this team handle success" question?
Gregor, Any comment from MacT about the total lack of intensity?
Any concern about goaltending, because I watched the entire debacle, and ya, the team wasn't there, but there where some real softies. JDD looked great in the games he played early, but since Jersey (I think) he has looked soft.
Any comment from Tambo? Any closed door meeting with the coach?
Oh ya, I had a bad case of the Tuesday's, figured that the game was gonna cheer me up.......MAN DO I HATE TUEDAYS!!!!!
@ Milli:
I thought JDD had basically 0 chance on the goals he let in. The team was nowhere to be found in front of him. Roli should have stopped all 3 he let in.
Gregor, is old man river starting in net on Friday again?

To be clear Jonesy asked it before I could, I don't like to take credit for a question, but MacTavish agreed that this team doesn't know how to handle it, and he said that coaches preparation needs to be looked at too in a case like this.
"It's not a stretch to assume it will be a better game on Friday, and we will read a lot in to how are team reacts then."
That was his final response. Not great since there is virtually no way they can be worse on Friday. This team is perplexing because just when you think they might turn a corner, they slam on the brakes, and blow their the tranny by going into reverse while still moving forward. It is really an amazing thing to watch..

Buffalo broke the ice between Posluszny and Mularkey
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Nov 29 2012 1:09PM
We've all been through it a time or two in our lives. When a new boss gets brought in, there is a feeling-out period where you try to find ways to help acclimate yourself with your direct superior.
It's the same case for players when a new head coach comes in. Fortunately for Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny, he was able to get off on the right foot with head coach Mike Mularkey because of their time spent in a certain place.
You guessed it: Buffalo.
"You know, when we first met that was obviously some common ground," Posluszny said. "I told him I lived in Hamburg, and he knew the neighborhood that I lived in. All the great restaurants. It was nice to be able to share some common ground there."
Posluszny spent four seasons in Buffalo before bolting to Jacksonville via free agency, while Mularkey was the head coach of the Bills from 2004 to 2005.
Sunday marks the first time each will be back at Ralph Wilson Stadium for a regular season game in which they resume the roles the once had as a member of the Bills organization.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Full time men's national team training centre underway in Gatineau
GATINEAU, Que. – Nine players, including three from Canada's world championship team, are currently training at the men's volleyball team full time training centre at the Centre Sportif in Gatineau, Que.
The objective of the centre, launched in 2006-2007, focuses on recently graduated CIS/CCAA national team level athletes to help prepare them for international level training and eventually competition.
Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., and Olivier Faucher of Quebec City are the three players from the Canadian world championship team which placed 19th last month in Italy. The nine-week training centre program will continue until December 17. Players who do not move on to a professional contract in the new year will then return to the training centre later in January through to April, prior to the 2011 national team selection camp.
The centre is also an opportunity for a player like Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., to continue his rehabilitation from knee injury which forced him to miss the worlds. Other players at the Centre are brothers Michael DeRocco and Jason DeRocco, and Andrew Town all of Winnipeg, John Galloway of Victoria, BC, and Mathieu McLaughlin of Tilley Road, N.B.
"We hope that by the end of the program we can travel to Europe and play some matches to expose the players to top level competition," said Canadian national team assistant coach Vincent Pichette. "The transition from university volleyball to the national team and professional in Europe is a big one and the centre provides a great opportunity for the players to learn the skills they need for the pros."
The Canadian men's national team is in the midst of its first full season at the new Centre Sportif and Pichette says it has been a great success.
"We are still discovering the potential of the Centre and so far it has been fantastic," said Pichette. "The players love the region and some of them reside here all year. It's a world class training base and we are able to host international events as well. The City of Gatineau has been fantastic in their support."
Canada's other world championship team members are currently playing pro overseas. Here is a list with team\country, name and hometown.
Ankara, Turkey: Josh Howatson of Victoria and Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., (joining Steve Gotch, Okotoks, Alta.)

"The fire is at this point, out of control, said Bureau of Land Management Fire Information Officer, Nick Howell. We're hoping it will die down after the sun goes down and the lower temperature, higher humidity levels and slower winds will help us get a little more control over it."
Multiple agencies are now on the scene and a type III team from Color Country has been assigned to oversee the logistics and management of the situation. Howell said crews will probably be fighting the fire until around 11 at which time they will have quit.
One cabin is currently threatened by there have not been any evacuations. Maple Springs, Black Mountain and the Camel Hollow Roads are closed.
Howell said, more information will be available tomorrow as the fire crews assess the situation after they wake at 5 am and see whether or not the fire has died down overnight.
Fire Behavior: Torching, running, and spotting fire behavior is observed.
Fuels: Pinyon and Juniper, Cheatgrass and Brush.
Fire Crews/Resources: 4 Fire Engines, 2 Water Tenders, 2 Hand Crews, 1 Type III Helicopter, 1 Air Attack Platform, 3 Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATS), and Various Overhead. Approximately 60 personnel are currently assigned to the fire. Additional resources are being dispatched.
Injuries: No injuries have been reported.

Over the next several weeks, the results of the 4-H Forestry Leaf Collection project will be announced. This week, the results from North Washington Elementary School are included along with the photos of the students with the top collections.
Last week I watched "Grey's Anatomy," a show many of you probably watched or have heard of, I am sure. Anyway, in last week's episode, it was Thanksgiving, and they were sitting around and decided to tell what they were unthankful for instead of what they were thankful for. This got me to thinking about what I wasn't thankful for, too. I have thought about this for a few days and I am having trouble coming up with anything. It is easy to say you aren't thankful for the frosty morning or the task you have to do at work, but that isn
Whether you have 4 days or 12 hours, you can safely thaw your frozen turkey without rising bacteria growth. Thawing your turkey in the refrigerator is the preferred method for safety reasons, but you can also thaw it in cold water. The thing to remember about both methods is that they keep your turkey cold while thawing – the key to preventing excessive bacterial growth.
And, no matter which method you select, cook the turkey promptly after thawing.
Thawing In The Refrigerator:
4-H members, parents and volunteer leaders recite the 4-H pledge at club meetings. But like any pledge or song that is memorized, we often forget to think about the actual words and what they mean.
At this special time of year, my family and I like to pause to give thanks for our many blessings. This season is known for the fall harvest and bountiful meals with friends and family, so it is especially appropriate to give thanks for Kentucky's farmers. Kentucky's farmers – and those throughout America – produce the food and fiber we all depend on. Thanks to their skill, ingenuity and hard work, we are blessed with the safest, most abundant and most affordable food supply in the world.
The country ham project is just one of the many character building and educational programs 4-H offers that don't require youth or their families to own considerable amounts of acreage or livestock or have a background in agriculture.
Kentucky has a rich tradition in producing quality country ham. Similar to horse racing, some people consider country ham to be one of the standard symbols of the state. Kentucky ranks second in the nation in country ham production.
One of the last gardening chores before winter is putting the strawberry plants to bed for winter. Strawberry plants have already set flower buds for spring and they need to be protected to ensure those buds don't freeze during winter's annual frigid cruelty. A fully dormant strawberry plant can protect its flower buds down to about 15 degrees below zero, however other factors like wind chill, length of the cold spell, and freeze can affect if the flower buds can actually withstand temperatures down to 15 below.
While driving the highways of Kentucky this fall, the need for testing this year's hay has become painfully apparent. While driving I see rows and rows of round hay bales stored outside, with green grass growing on top of the bales. This is due primarily to two factors. First, the hay was made at a very mature stage and had a tremendous amount of viable seed in the seed heads of the hay when baled. This seed ensures that the hay was way past an optimal nutrient value when it was harvested thus reducing quality dramatically.
After the frosts and freezes I have gotten numerous calls on roses particularly knockout roses and when to cut them back. You wouldn't believe how many people have knockouts that have overgrown their bounds this year. This means one thing, we had a good year!
Over the next several weeks, the 4-H Teen Club will be making their annual request for community support of the Food for Kids Backpack program. Last year, many generous individuals and groups supported the program, and over 130 local students received backpack food on a weekly basis.

Bansley and Maloney hope to maintain momentum at Shanghai stop
SHANGHAI (May 1, 2012) – After 17th and seventh place finishes at the opening two stops on the FIBV World Tour circuit in beach volleyball, Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto look to maintain their momentum for the third stop which starts for them here on Wednesday in the main draw.
The Canadian pair are trying to chase down a top-16 ranking on the Tour by the end of June. That would guarantee them a spot at the 2012 Olympic Games. Heading into the Shanghai stop they are 20th in the FIVB Olympic rankings.
''We are still striving to break into the top-five,'' said Maloney. We want to keep improving as we get further along into the season, especially as we get into the Grand Slam events.''
Shanghai is the first Grand Slam event on the Tour. Cash prizes at Grand Slams are nearly doubled.
''It's our goal to qualify for the Olympics firstly through the FIVB World Tour, and top 10 finishes
are what we need,'' said Bansley.
Qualification for the women for the Shanghai event was held Tuesday. Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., (in photo) and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., came within a victory of advancing to the main draw losing their second match.
''We are pleased with how we played,'' said Lessard. ''We are improving through each tournament. We are finding our rhythm again and we are getting closer to our top level of play.''
Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., lost their opening match.
The men's qualifying gets underway Wednesday. Canadian entries are Josh Binstock of Toronto and Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., ninth at last week's stop in Poland ; Ben Saxton of Calgary and Christian Redmann of Toronto; Maverick Hatch of Comox and Sam Schachter of Toronto and Richard Van Huizen of Toronto and Garrett May of London, Ont.More information: www.fivb.org

Skip to comments.Queens gas-station owner spills on shortage and line lunacy
Posted on 11/12/2012 8:02:19 AM PST by SeekAndFind
A Queens gas-station owner says the fuel shortage could be fixed instantly if panicky drivers calmed down and hoarders, profiteers and scammers were stopped. In the two weeks since Hurricane Sandy, hes been cursed at, spit on and nearly punched in the face by motorists. Fearing reprisals from his supplier, he requested anonymity to relate his experiences from the front lines of the fuel lines to The Posts Kathianne Boniello.
New Yorkers, stop being stupid.
Ive never seen such incredible selfishness in my entire life. This fuel shortage is bringing out the worst in people.
At first, I set a $40 limit for customers. I wanted to accommodate everyone if I could. All Ive gotten for my efforts is two weeks of hell.
Theres been an unbelievable amount of greed, and hoarding, especially with people using gas cans. One person was caught selling a 5-gallon can of gas for $300. I called the police after a family of five kept rotating through the line so they could get around my $40 limit and go make a buck by reselling the fuel themselves.
I started seeing a lot of people bringing Poland Spring bottles and laundry detergent bottles to put gas in. One woman had a watering can. I tried to explain to her that its illegal, and unsafe, to put gas in a container like that. All she said was Why?
Ive spent so many hours here, trying to watch over the property, that Ive lost track of what day it is. One of the first nights, I caught someone with a monkey wrench trying to take apart one of my gas pumps.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Most of the people waiting for gas at my station dont even need the fuel. Ive looked inside most of the vehicles, and Id say about 70 percent of them have three-quarters or half of a tank of gas. Ill tell the driver, Theres no need for you to be here. They say, Oh, I just want to top it off, or I just want to make sure I have it.
You just want to make sure you have it? Come on. I dont think people realize how much gas theyre wasting with all this panic buying. When you sit in your car and idle, and you have the heat going, you actually burn quite a bit of fuel. One gentleman pulled up here in a big Lexus SUV and waited in line, only to yell at me because we had run out of premium gas and didnt tell him.
One woman needed gas for a trip to Target; another driver was heading to Costco. Somebody said something about needing to go get an iPad.
Meanwhile, lots of first responders are running on empty. I know a lot of police officers have been sleeping in their vehicles and sleeping at the precincts. I dont think thats safe for any of us.
I live in South Jersey and I am dumbfounded at all these people in North Jersey waiting in line for four hours or more for gas when where I live, just an hour to the south, gas is plentiful and at normal prices (well, really at "new normal" Obama era prices, close to $4 a gallon). I get it if you let your tank go to vapors but if you have a gallon or two left in it, you can make it here and gas up all you want.
Can you just imagine what will happen in the big cities when we get hit with an EMP attack? Civility?? Riiiiight.!
And the SRM is . .where?
Stories like this are so few and far between one almost forgets there was Frankenstorm/Cane a couple of weeks ago.
But Katrina? Naw . . . now that was "news"
This has really tested my faith and Christian witness. I have to really make an effort not to laugh out loud in delighted Schadenfreude. Bad. Behave, Mamzelle!
The Free Market is the best device yet conceived by mankind to allocate capital and resources. Better than government, rationing, or any other top-down system.
It's all good. Obama won.
Yes, let the prices rise to their balance point and all supply problems are solved.
Coming to a city near you. The slightest disruption will cause this, there is no extra capacity to absorb anything except the most trivial of outages. And disruptions are coming.
When supplies are adequate on average all gas tanks are 1/2 full. As soon as a shortage occurs everyone wants to "top off", and immediately the desired average goes up to 3/4 full. In other words, demand increases the moment the shortage starts leading to these situations.
The average city has 3 days of food on the shelves....
Your Obama Gov'ment is there to help!
Amazing how we out in the *sticks* are civil and help each other, but in the big cities it's the law of the jungle.
Surely this a joke. I know the "green", Earth First environmentally superior N.E. Types HATE the nasty,polluting fossil fuels. Cars are evil-electricity is evil- going NATURAL and DARK is good. They can`t be fighting and scheming For GASOLINE...not to mention participating in EVIL profit making. The N.E. Is the heart of the Obamanation! Could it be that living their symbolic claptrap is more than they can take? I love reports like these after 8 days post-Issac without power in 100degrees. Who knew weather + liberalism could be so entertaining!
This is just a taste of what the "kindly, loving, progressive" democrats in the blue states wil become when their Messiah destroys the economy and food and fuel stop flowing. People in large cities are like rats—keep the food coming and they run around their maze, co-existing peacefully. But disrupt anything and they become animals.
I watched a healthy, young man from Brooklyn whining on FoxNews this morning about how no one is bringing them food. But then he showed us a Red Cross MRE and complained that he burned his hand trying to cook one. So, he's getting food, but he's too urban and stupid to cook it. He said that he has a 6 story house and only the basement was destroyed, but he was whining about his neighbors who lost their entire house and being forced into shelters. Overall, he was a sorry excuse for a human being and a man but he thought that the nation owes him and owes him NOW.
From my fellow Incident Management Team members:
1/ "The disorganization and petty infighting here is 10x worse than in the Katrina effort. You wouldn't believe how bad it is."
2/ Response offers by non-union electric utility crews are being refused in New Jersey.
Some people have surrendered so much of their freedoms that they cannot make basic decisions and act on those decisions in a crises.
Emergency response cannot address real emergency needs while coming to the aid of those with "compromised comfort".
> When you sit in your car and idle, and you have the heat going, you actually burn quite a bit of fuel.
Stupidity will be the downfall of America.
Sure, the electric fan blowing the (mostly) free warm air from the engine block may cause the alternator to load the engine for a few watts, but I doubt you could measure the difference after burning a tank of fuel.
If it was the AC compressor loading the engine then it's a different story.
WTF are they teaching in school?
Around 5 years ago, we had an ice storm here in Kansas. After around 4 days without power, I set out to buy a generator where I live (Topeka). I called around, and eeryone was sold out.
One Lowes store was due a delivery though...around 50 generators, but they were all spoken for. They still suggested I show up for the scheduled generator delivery, just in case somebody who had reservedone didn't show.
I got there, and found around 150 people waiting. When the generators came, it was a near riot. Police were on hand to keep the situation calm (it got especially bad when one guy had reserved 2 generators). Then in a matter of minutes, all the generators were gone, and at least 100 of us were sitting empty handed...and fuming with anger.
Then I had an idea. I walked up to customer service and asked for the numbers to all their Kansas City area stores. A few phone calls later, I had one reserved, and I hit the road for the 60 mile trip for a generator.
It was unreal - if not for the police presence, there would have been fist fights over generators...when there were plenty just an hour away. I never understood why Lowes didn't shipp all their generators to where the ice storm hit though?
New York could solve the problem over night.
Just allow market prices to prevail.
Enterprising entrepreneurs would take it upon themselves to supply all of the gasoline that the market wanted.
But, nooooooo!!!!!!! That would be gouging!!!!!!! Can't have any of that. It wouldn't be faaaaaiiiiirrrr!!!
They have created their own problems.
I have no sympathy for any of them.
I think they mean if you are sitting in line for an hour or more waiting to get gasoline that you will waste a lot of gasoline just sitting there running the engine.
About the shortage, Cuomo and the media now blaming the people and not the distribution and power disruption.
Hopefully we won't have people here believing that BS.
It's possible I was thinking too boolean. Here is what it said...
"When you sit in your car and idle, and you have the heat going, you actually burn quite a bit of fuel."
The predicate "and you have the heat going" implies that if you did not have the heat going then it may not burn quite a bit of fuel.
Most likely residual grumpiness from last Tuesday on my part.
"If it was the AC compressor loading the engine then its a different story"
The affects on gas mileage when using AC in a fine tuned automobile is negligable. Maybe 2 miles to the gallon. I know, I watched Mythbusters blow this theory up> :)
It is true though. It is a myth that excessive fuel is used while running the AC. Down here in Tejas, the AC is a necessity in the summer, if you don't want to sweat your @alls off. I don't lose mileage like some think one might. I still get 420 miles to a tank, with our without AC
Uhhh . . . Let me think . . . They're Socialist Liberals?
Are you sure cars divert heat from the engine bloc into the cabin? I can get the heat working with the engine turned off and presumed there were electrical coils to heat the air.
I also wondered if it is even risked by automakers to divert engine bloc heat into the cabin due to the inherent safety risks - CO intake, fumes from heated oils and coolants, etc.
>>Emergency response cannot address real emergency needs while coming to the aid of those with "compromised comfort".
Exactly. Its the logical end to the entitlement society, where "wants" become "needs" and then they start making impossible demands on the system until no wants or needs can be met.
Most all liquid cooled internal combustion engines divert some of the coolant to a heater core radiator which has a fan that blows the heat into the passenger area. There would only be a risk of coolant leaking into the passenger compartment.
Not sure what an all electric car uses. I suspect a resistive heater element with a fan.
Did they test the difference when sitting still? You wouldn't get a lot of gain from reduced drag from having the windows up if you're not moving.
I neighbor of mine mentioned he was considering buying a tank like is used for storing fuel oil; illegally burying it in his back yard; and begining to fill it up for his car and generator in an emergency.
Neither for or against this, I am curious if there are evaportion and moisture concerns that a simple "fuel oil" tank (like for a "fuel oil" house heating system) might not take care of, particularly when his plan is for long-term storage only to be used in an emergency.
If there's a good aspect to hurricanes here in the deep south, it's surely that as we deal with the ensuing hardship and deprivation, at least we don't have to do it surrounded by northerners.
One problem he could run into is floating the tank. If the ground water level gets high and the tank is empty the tank will float up out of the ground. I don't know what they do to stop this but I have seen it happen.
I've never owned a vehicle that could do that. What do you drive?
Lines are way down today where I am on LI. Passed two stations with only about 6 or 7 cars waiting.
That's not a bad wait. I run into that on a daily basis with people topping off when price is going down. Hoarders aren't the smartest people around

I was asked by an extended family member to make several quilts from the shirts of a deceased loved one. The husband/father died two years ago in his mid-fifties of sepsis. He was a "good-old boy" in the best sense of the phase. Always had time for his family and friends. Loved cars -- watching NASCAR, restoring old cars, etc.
So with a few specifications (I would piece them. I would even quilt them if they were no larger than 50 in X 70 in. I would not agree to a deadline. I would keep receipts for the batting, thread, and backing used. I would not be paid for anything other than supplies.) I agreed to do the quilts. I was given a large container of shirts -- 42 of them. Here is a picture prior to cutting them up.
It took me a couple of weeks working in the evenings to cut off collars and cuffs, press the shirts, and then cut them into pieces. I decided to for the most part use 5 in squares (5.5 in prior to sewing) so that the shirt patterns wouldn't be lost. Of course, I had to make sure the pockets were used in at least one quilt -- this one.
I also cut some 2.5 in X 10.5 in strips from the yokes so the tags could be used.
Here is the first one. I used the pockets in this one. They all still are functioning pockets too. The quilt is 50 in X 70 in, machine pieced and quilted. The pockets are "tied" from the back so they can still be used.
He was also a ball cap wearer, usually a John Deere one. I cut the patch off of one and added it to the quilt.
One of the shirts had paint stains on it. I decided to make sure they were included. I am glad I did, as I found out recently that it represents the "car that didn't get finished". The paint stains are from working on a car restoration.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Emery High, for whatever reason, does not defeat Delta in football very often. As best as can be figured out, the total wins for Emery in this series is two and the losses are many. It is not that the Rabbits are always better than the Spartans; it is just that the Rabbits seem to have the Spartans number and unfortunately, it was no different last Friday night.
With only 15 seconds showing on the game clock, Emery with the 12-7 lead in the rain and Delta looking at fourth and goal at the Emery 29-yard line, here came that ugly fact one more time and the Rabbits scored and Emery had somehow lost one more time.
It was hard to take. It is hard to lose a game you have won. It would have been easier on the mind to have lost big rather than let one slip away that was yours for the taking.
It took me two days before I could even write this story because I still did not believe it had actually ended the way that it did.
Emery had dominated this game. In the second half, after Delta led 7-0 at the half, Emery shut down the Rabbits. Emery had the ball three times in the second half. They scored two touchdowns and on the third drive, the Spartans were driving for another score before a botched handoff ended the drive at the Delta 15-yard line.
The Spartan defense was just as dominating on Delta's first three drives. Emery's Cody Allen intercepted a Rabbit pass on the first drive at the Emery 40-yard line. Delta started their second drive at their own 20-yard line and punted from their own 9-yard line a few plays later.
Gatlin Huntington had a great move from his cornerback position on a third down play to bat away a pass attempt. On the third Rabbit series, Delta went from their own 15-yard line to their own 30-yard line where they fumbled and Mike Jones recovered for Emery.
Spartan fullback Chance Ariotti scored both of the Spartan touchdowns and both came on 2-yard runs up the middle. Chance rushed the ball 14 times for 32 yards in the ballgame.
Because the game was played in almost a constant downpour with occasional gusty winds and very cool temperatures, both teams kept their offensive efforts on the ground with the exception of the two passes that Delta threw that went for scores. Besides that last untimely play, Delta had scored earlier in the game on a 61-yard pass play when a receiver slipped free in the Emery secondary.
Fullback Mike Jones was the leading ground gainer for the game as he ran the ball 19 times for 68 yards. Colby Snow rushed the ball nine times for 45 yards and Jordan Gee rushed the ball 10 times for 40 yards. Leading rusher and leading tackler on the Emery team Ryne Jones missed his second straight game due to a foot injury suffered in the opening quarter against Carbon High.
With Juan Diego having defeated North Sanpete on Friday night, it would have greatly enhanced the Spartan attempt to host a playoff game later this month with a win last Friday night. Now it appears that Juan Diego will win the region football championship and Carbon High will finish fifth in region and miss the playoffs.
Emery, Delta and North Sanpete would finish tied for second with an Emery victory this week as the Spartans host the Hawks in a homecoming game. In the case of a tie, the three teams would have a coin toss to settle playoffs placement.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night
By dr156914 on Jan 28, 2010
Well, my friends, it is time for me to say goodbye. It's been a wonderful 5 years at Sun. As many probably suspected, I will not be joining the Oracle Identity team.
These past five years have been the best professional experiences in my life. I had a blast working with the Java Enterprise System team and Sun's systems management team, but nothing beats my experience working with the most talented Identity Management team in the world. Oracle is inheriting THE BEST Identity products available and I wish them luck on their strategy and direction.
Although I'm very happy that this process has finally come to a close, I am sad to see Sun fading away. I believe the environment that Sun fostered was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I appreciate the experience and have tremendous gratitude for all that it offered me.
If you want to continue following my blog, I plan to continue to write on identity at www.smokingmonkey.org. Also, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

LMAO its great to see you back Brother! Ive been missing your posts.
"Hey, 3-day weekend coming up! I get to wear my 'Allen suit'!"
"'It' will put the lotion in the basket!"
recent post . . .
LMAO its great to see you back Brother! Ive been missing your posts.
Not sure if this is very helpful, but I have always wanted to try to make one these, but I don't have a form...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqFwzUY2OXc
Thanks for the link pennywise. I like the finished look of that mask! A liner would definitely be a good addition tho lol.
Watching that video, you could layer a few coats of latex first and then do the burlap and then you have a liner. Or simply go over top of another mask. I saw one that went over what appears to be an exagerated clown mask with burlap and it looks pretty cool. Or pick something with ears or other features added like punk hair and jewelry?
That's definitely an idea. Im assuming you would layer the inside of the burlap by turning it inside out once you're finished? Or could you just hot glue felt or some other soft fabric on key areas?
It depends on what you are building it on. If you are building on a head form like the video, you just layer a few coats of latex and then build the burlap. Or you take a head form and put a mask over it or a sock mask and go over that with the burlap and latex. You can line it with felt or any material and hot glue but I get concerned with it getting to small with out the lining being actually built first.
So this is where buying one from someone that is making it over a proper bust or life cast is why it is worth spending money. If you already have a life cast you can lay out what the interior cloth is going to be and layer ontop of that. All of this also changes complexity depending on whether it is a half mask or full head mask. Allens masks are full heads.
Trying to use a wig head or something not exactly sized right ends up yeilding something that can easily be a prop head but something being worn should be done on a professional bust or a life cast of yourself to fit right.
There are crazy ways to layer yourself with packaging tape of duct tape. Most of these techinques adding layers really reguires a few hours between steps to come out right. Not something your would want to sit around wearing while it cures, breathing things. So there again you are into buying or making your own full head bust to make something. What ever weird figure this guy used in the video to make this mask may have worked but probably ended in a poor fit.
Last edited by Greg Chrise; 08-14-2012 at 05:42 PM.
Having some kind of shape that properly matches your eye line is what makes it cool. Then enough room to breath and the nose area shape being well thought out. Other wise you are making a paper shopping bag with eye holes. Without a bust or proper head form, you could take a cheaper mask and add to it and then the mask is the latex liner, provides some kind of shape to work from.
As far as pricing is concerned, I have done some paint jobs for masks and been in a lot of studios figuring out air brushing problems people were having. So over the last year I have been looking at a lot of themes and details other people are doing. I'm finding everyone is trading even layered latex made things for $200 to $600 as one of a kind deals. Allens $100 products are going like hot cakes because of so much being offered such as being lined, properly proportioned and layered creepy with experience already at a very reasonable price. Allen and his crew are putting in quite the hours into these and the prep work is sort of overlooked when looking at a product in just pictures.
Burlap in layers would be near impossible to turn inside out and keep the proper shape.
Ok that makes perfect sense Greg thanks. Actually I had the same thought about the mask in the video... it even LOOKS like a funky shape lol. Thanks for the detailed explanation I completely understand now. I imagine the kid in the picture I found used just burlap and stitching, and that would seriously be uncomfortable.
When we made my strangers mask, we used cotton. My friend used my head as the stitching cast, and let me tell you it was a bitch lol.

Hard Times indeed...
Hard Times indeed...
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
That's a shame- it looks like it was charming.
The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.
too bad.
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*
What is Christmas coming to? I love a propper crimbo but what the dickens is making me think I will have one of those any time soon to many people have no taste and buy Harry Potter over Charles Dickens.
