Omark Sits
Based on several sources it looks like Linus Omark won't play in game 2 tomorrow night against the Minnesota Wild. Opinions vary, but most believe there are other options for HS that make more sense.
While true, the Oilers signed Darcy Hordichuk to do a job and Ryan Jones can penalty kill, so they're in. Added to that is the fact that Lennart Petrell can PK too and has shown a willingness to drop the gloves.
And THAT is probably enough for coach Renney to go with the Finn. I don't read much more into it, and I think we need to recall coach Renney's comments ("Sometimes it's a numbers game and you can't read into it too much") on where Omark was at practice the other day. They probably want everyone to get into a game early in the year (meaning Potter and NK should play soon too) and after that we'll see how it goes.
But I don't really believe Tom Renney thinks Hordichuk has more value than Omark. Perhaps if the club's powerplay was more of a deterrent for other clubs then Hordichuk and Peckham and Sutton wouldn't be pressed into duty tomorrow night. However, the Oilers are a team that believes in an enforcer type and that impacts Omark, Hartikainen and others. Things will get tougher for Omark when Ben Eager draws back into the lineup.
One area I do agree with is Jonathan Willis' contention that Omark versus Ryan Jones is going to be an issue. I thought it would be Hartikainen who would offer the strongest competition for the skill minutes on the wing, but as Jon points out Jones is the first issue.
When Eager arrives, that's another shuffle and the Finnish kid isn't far away. Linus Omark is a very useful hockey player but I'm starting to think some GM like Ken Holland is about to swoop in and grab him.

Top Performers
Dallas: D. Nowitzki 25 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
Miami: L. James 19 Pts, 9 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Stl
MIAMI -- No fourth-quarter collapse this time against Dallas. These days, everything seems to be going right at home for the Miami Heat.
LeBron James and Chris Bosh each finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem scored 16 apiece and the Heat extended the league's longest home winning streak this season to 15 games with a 106-85 win over the Mavericks in an NBA finals rematch on Thursday night.
Windhorst: LeBron bounces back
Whether it was injury-related or not, LeBron James had been struggling. He looked like himself Thursday, writes Brian Windhorst. Blog
Mario Chalmers scored 12 points and Norris Cole added 10 for Miami, which swept its two games with Dallas this season and snapped a two-game losing streak.
"We just worked our habits," James said. "The best thing about tonight, we didn't take another step backwards like we did the last two games. And it was good to see."
Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 for Dallas, but was held to 1 of 9 shooting in the second half. Lamar Odom had 12 for the Mavericks, who were outrebounded 44-29 and were held to only two fast-break points.
Miami outscored Dallas 26-13 in the fourth quarter to cap the win.
"You have to give them credit," Nowitzki said. "They stepped up their pressure on both ends of the floor. In the first half, everything came a little too easy for us. We got some good looks, got some rolls, had everything going. Then they really picked up their pressure and we didn't have many good looks."
It was Dallas' first time playing at Miami since winning Game 6 of the NBA finals last June, a series that turned after an epic late Game 2 comeback by the Mavs in Miami and eventually became the ultimate payback -- hoisting a championship trophy in Miami, five years after Wade and the Heat celebrated winning their title in Dallas.
Still, Dallas insisted this trip wasn't about revisiting memories.
"Just another day at the office," Mavs owner Mark Cuban said.
Well, not an altogether friendly day at the office -- particularly late.
More on the Mavericks
News, notes and analysis of the Mavericks from ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon, Richard Durrett and our team.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
In the fourth quarter alone, Nowitzki had the bridge of his nose bloodied, James got hit in the mouth and Wade spent a few minutes grabbing at his right index finger in obvious discomfort. Adding to Miami's discomfort: Dallas being within 90-83 with 4:37 left after Nowitzki made four free throws in a 27-second span.
Any angst existing at that point dissipated quickly.
"I felt like we were in control," Wade said. "They got a couple things to go their way. It was just about settling down and running offense."
Simple as that. A 9-0 run sealed it for Miami, with Wade quarterbacking the charge.
His two-handed dunk pushed the Heat lead back to double figures, then he found Bosh to set up a three-point play and set up James for a slam that pushed the lead to 99-83 with 3:03 left. The Mavs called time out, took Nowitzki and three others off the floor for the night, and the Heat slide was soon over.
Vince Carter and Brandan Wright each scored 11 for Dallas.
"It's tough," Carter said of facing the Heat. "When they're rolling, they're rolling."
Miami's offense has sputtered for nearly a month, but the Heat scored 60 points by halftime for the first time in 11 games. James, Bosh and Wade shot 12 of 21 by halftime, and Miami's bench -- Haslem and Cole, mostly -- connected on 10 of 13 shots before intermission. Haslem made all four of his shots in the half and Cole was 4 of 6 after making four shots in his last seven games.
Even with all that, the lead was only 60-53 at the break, in large part because Nowitzki was 8 for 10 from the field.
Miami's offense cooled big-time in the third, the Heat shooting an abysmal 5 for 23. And the lead actually grew by a point in the period, thanks to what went on at the other end.
An 11-2 run gave the Heat their first double-digit lead, after holding Dallas without a field goal for more than 6 minutes. Miami led by as many as 13 in the third, before Odom scored Dallas' final seven points of the period to get the Mavs within 80-72 going into the final quarter.
"It was disappointing," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. "Our start to the third quarter was strong and then they answered back."
And now, Miami hits the road for games in Toronto on Friday and Boston on Sunday. The Heat have lost six of their past eight away from home.
"It's time for a response on the road," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We will take this win. This is a great team win against a very good team. But we have to move on and now let's take care of business on the road."
Game notes
Bosh returns to Toronto on Friday, the city where he played his first seven seasons. ... Dan Marino was among those in attendance. ... Miami held a 36-24 scoring edge in the second quarter, the first time the Heat outscored an opponent in their last 12 quarters. ... Mavs point guard Jason Kidd played in his 1,308th regular-season game, passing Buck Williams for 10th place on the NBA career list. ... Mavs guard Delonte West (broken right ring finger) played for the first time in 22 games. Center Brendan Haywood (sprained right knee) was active, but indicated he was more likely to return at Orlando on Friday. ... It marked the third time in Heat history that the team swept a season series with a reigning NBA champion.

On the inside the FT-86 G Sports Concept gets a pair of Recaro racing buckets while a sport tuned suspension places a special focus on "driving seasoning" in order to make the new FT-86 as fun to drive as the old Hachi Roku.

Another location to find current events in Shambhala International is at The Shambhala Times.
Nov 15, 2010
The Sakyong Foundation is delighted to announce that the painting of the Shambhala Lineage Thangka, commissioned by the Sakyong, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche, in 2008, is now fully funded. The announcement happily coincides with the Sakyong's birthday today (Monday 15 November).
"We are so thankful to the generosity of the many people throughout Shambhala who have now made it possible for this completely new work of art to be brought into the world," said The Sakyong Foundation.
The thangka is a full depiction of the Shambhala Lineage refuge tree. The 7 x 10 foot painting depicts the Primordial Rigden as the central figure. Surrounding the Rigden are all 25 Rigden Kings, Queens, the Ancestral Sovereigns, Padmasambhava, and numerous Shambhala, Kagyu and Nyingma lineage figures.
The painting is the work of master thangka artist Noedup Rongae leading his team at his Shambhala Art School in Northern India. Noedup expects they will complete the work in July 2011. The intention is that this huge piece of art, once completed, would be toured throughout the mandala so that centres can display it publicly in their cities and towns.
In 2008 in collaboration with Shambhala, The Sakyong Foundation made an initial grant of $25,000 to support the creation of this lineage thangka. These funds came from donations to the Shambhala Vision campaign. This year, as part of the Our Future campaign, the Foundation has granted the remaining funds to Noedup Rongae and his team of artists at the Shambhala Art School.
Starting with two anonymous $5000 donations in early June this year, The Sakyong Foundation challenged a small group of donors to raise the remaining $15,000 needed to finish the work before the Sakyong completes his year of retreat. These donors' inspiration and generosity has made it possible for the foundation joyfully to announce on the Sakyong's birthday that his aspiration has been fulfilled.

Plante Shows Growth
Alex Plante is having a very nice start to his season. For a guy who battled injuries and forces real or imagined in the manager's office a year ago, Plante's having a terrific beginning to this year on all fronts.
Even more amazing is that the season started with a trade request and it looked like the Oilers first rounder would be sitting out many games again this season.
Since that would be a disaster based on how much time was missed a year ago, Plante and the Oilers should be very happy that it all worked out with the Hitmen.
Plante as a prospect has taken a beating from fans since his draft day. I've read some things that are not factual, implying Plante was a "reach pick" along the lines of Jesse Niinimaki. For the record, Plante was safely inside the first round on the Redline and ISS lists.
Another thing about Plante that is misguided is the idea that he's been inconsistent offensively. The big "spike" season came when he was used heavily on the powerplay. Here are the EV stats (with points-per-game) for Alexandre Plante:
- 05-06EV: 54gp, 1-3-4 .074
- 06-07EV: 58gp, 2-9-11 .190
- 07-08EV: 16gp, 1-1-2 .125
- 08-09EV: 13gp, 1-5-6 .462
Plante went 6-21-27 with the man advantage in his draft year (.466 ppg) and so far this year he's 1-2-3 (.231) with the man advantage. Anyone who wants to check my math (probably a good idea) can find the information on the fairly user-friendly WHL site. If my math is correct, Plante is posting some exceptional EV numbers and should be a strong candidate for AHL employment in that gifted Springfield backfield one year from now.
Plante's having a good season so far, out of the shadow of last season's injuries. I think he's been a tough prospect to follow (Alzner was the vaunt, and despite being 9 months younger and clearly not in the Alzner league he was compared to his D partner and that's a tough comp) but this season Alex Plante is posting numbers that will get noticed.

We witnessed democracy in action last Tuesday night at the Guilderland School Board meeting. And it was a glorious sight.
Temporary homes were set up in Tawasentha Park in Guilderland, fulfilling pledges to help Habitat for Humanity.
The school board has set aside, for now, school-closure recommendations from a consultant's building capacity report following months of protests from those who want to keep Altamont Elementary School open.
The Tech Valley High School formed seven years ago to focus on project-based learning for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, has a permanent place at the Albany NanoTech Complex.
The same night that he was released, Guilderland Police observed Hawes driving while intoxicated at 1810 Western Ave.

The Associated Press reports: President Barack Obama says there's one sure thing parents can do to help their kids learn, regardless of financial means: Forbid them from watching television on school nights.
Of his own daughters, Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, Obama told Essence magazine: "The girls don't watch TV during the week. Period."
I have to say that seems a little bit harsh. My kids, and I'm sure President Obama's kids, work very hard at school. They are gone for eight hours and deserve a little down time when they come home.
How would you as an adult feel if you walked in a from an eight-hour work day and someone made you sit down and immediately work another hour. That would stink.
When adults come home we want to unwind and so do kids. It would be great if they always wanted to go and back and play when they walked in the door, but often they just want to sit in front of the TV and turn off their pounding little brains.
I have no problem with my kids coming home and watching a couple of shows. They eat a treat. And after about an hour they start their homework. Eat dinner. Bathe and read and then go to bed.
I just think it's about moderation– in all things. A little TV to unwind is not a bad thing. Hours upon hours of TV (especially in a kid's bedroom is a bad thing.)
A brownie after dinner is not bad – a plate of brownies is bad.
Self-control people. There are all these articles now that show that self-control is more important in determining a child's academic success than even IQ. So we need to help them develop self discipline as well as other skills. They need to practice the self discipline.
When you limit something too much then they go in the opposite direction when they have the freedom to choose.
When those poor little girls go off to college, they're not going to leave the common room for hours trying to catch up on TV.
Moderation – that's the key.
What do you think: Should the Obama girls get a little down time with the TV when they get home from school? What about your kids? How much is the right amount?
My friend and fellow blogger Maureen Downey addressed this on Get Schooled earlier. She's on board with the President's No TV policy. Check out her views and the comments.
Editor's Note:
Is your child affected by test tampering?
Last week, the state announced that several schools in Georgia are suspected of tampering with answers on the state's CRCT. While the schools flagged in the investigation have come under scrutiny, the students are arguably the ones impacted most. We'd like to tell their story. If you are a parent who believes that your child may have been affected by suspicious scores and you're willing to talk with a reporter at the AJC, please contact Gracie Staples at firstname.lastname@example.com or Kristina Torres at email@example.com.

I think it is a parent's choice. I try to limit the TV to no more than an hour a day and definitely no TV or video games an hour before bed! Part of our bedtime routine is reading for about 15 minutes prior to sleeping (whether him reading to me or vice versa).
It it's nice outside, my little guy would MUCH rather be out there playing with the dogs or riding his bike. Since it's cold outside, that's much harder to do!
I think the kids who come home from school and flip on the TV to watch immediately and on through to bedtime are a bit excessive. I do agree with the moderation!
I'll be honest, we don't do homework every night! He gets a folder every Tuesday that needs to be turned in on Monday. On average, he can complete all the homework in the packet within 30 minutes! It has never taken longer than an hour. So, during the week, I will work on spelling words and things like that (writing issues, etc.)

I get home about an hour or so after my son does. Initially, I was okay with video games and some TV and even the neighbor boy over after school (I can hear it already. Whatever. The neighbor boy's mom is right across the street and with her blessing I was okay with them spending about an hour in my home playing video games before I got there. They are in Middle School for gosh sakes — I was babysitting at that age). Anyway, that worked for two marking periods and then he stumbled a little bit out of the gate on this current one so I took games and the neighbor boy out of the equation until the end of the marking period. If he gets himself squared away and ends up on the honor roll for the period then he can have them back next marking period. I appreciate that my son needs some down-time after school. As a matter of fact, he has recently started pointing out that we both spend about the same amount of time (8 hours) "at the office" – although I also had to point out that I work at home in the evenings and most of the time that is until 2-3am after he hits the rack so my days are more like 11-14 hours before you add in housework and running him to his activities. A friend of mine has a "no electronics" rule during the week at her house. Her way works for her….mine works for me and my son.

I'm not opposed to it, but honestly, my 3rd grader literally just does not have time anymore! I try to let her have a couple days where she can play with a friend or go to the park after school, but even that feels like a stretch sometime with her homework. She used to get to watch a show after homework, dinner, bath, etc. were done, but it seems that now we are trying to complete practicing math facts or weekly projects for school, etc. until it's actually LATER than I'd like her to get to bed! But I'm not going to give up letter her play at he park after having been in school all day!

If not permitting TV is the "harshest" thing the Obama's are doing with their kids, then they're in good shape. Let's not forget, they live in the White House! I imagine their parents telling them to go find something to do other than watch TV when you LIVE in the WHITE HOUSE will only result in some really great experiences that only a handful of children have gotten throughout history. To equate the situation and opportunities that OUR kids have to what THEIR kids have is ludicrous.
I grew up in Europe when I was a teen (military brat) where there was no English speaking television. Had there been TV, and I had told my parents that I would rather watch the tube instead of taking a stroll down the local street where I had an opportunity to just take in being in a foreign culture, they would have thrown the freaking TV out the window.
I let my kid watch TV during the week, but if I was living in a truly unique, once in a lifetime circumstance like the Obama's, I'd be hard pressed to not to take that position as well.

Getting homework out of the way seems like a good idea. Why let it wait until right before bed when you're sleepy? Is there something wrong with reading a good book for your relaxation time? I think it sounds great that his daughters follow a schedule and know what to expect when they come home in the evenings. Only a child who is allowed to play video games or watch tv from the minute they step in the door to bedtime is going to complain that they're being "overworked"

@Theresa….."When those poor little girls go off to college, they're not going to leave the common room for hours trying to catch up on TV." You say that with such conviction….and zero substantive evidence. How do you know that? Do you really think these girls are going to UGA and GT or a state university or will be in an environment where they think for one second that they have time to waste on the tube.
Newton Minow, FCC chairman, spoke these words in 1961!
"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland."
Judging on the television topics that you've placed on this blog alone, I see nothing to refute his claims from almost 50 years ago….and you are willing to criticize the Obamas for believing this and sheilding their kids from it.
So the kids have to wind down with something other than tv….just because you THINK you're right about this, doesn't actually make you right. Let them be, they're parents in a very challenging position to be parents, and for you to criticize their decisions because they don't agree with your own says more about your views on thing than theirs.

"When those poor little girls go off to college, they're not going to leave the common room for hours trying to catch up on TV."
I doubt it. Believe it or not, many people who grow up in families that don't watch TV regularly don't feel deprived of something wonderful that they need to catch up on and simply do not develop much of a taste for watching. My college roomate was like that. Her family rarely watched, and other than for a show or two each week that she really loved, she preferred to leave it off. As for moderation, I think that an argument can be made that weekends only is moderation. The Obamas haven't banned TV all together.
February 17th, 2010
2:55 pm
@Theresa….I find it pretty ironic that this criticism has come from someone who presumably was treated with TV moderation as a youth, and your history of blogs includes these gems of TV that are SUCH good examples of ways to utilize TV to wind down (and this was just March – Aug 09):
Topic 3/5/2009: Fresh news on 'Jon & Kate Plus 8′
Discussion questions:
So read the article and see what you think. Does it change your opinion of Jon or Kate? Does any of it surprise you? Does any of it upset you? Do you think it's untrue?
Topic 5/26/2009: Enter to win our 'Next Food Network Star' prize package!
Topic 5/14/2009: Jon & Kate may split; Aunt Jodi says marriage is over
Discussion questions:
What do you make it of it all: Which headline is right? Is the marriage over? Can it survive? What do they need to do to save it? (Probably stop filming a TV show.) Are they willing to do it?
Topic 6/22/09: Jon & Kate's announcement: Will it be divorce?
Discussion questions:
Should Jon move that far away if they are separating or divorcing? Is it fair to the kids or to Kate to move away? How will he fit 8 kids in the one-bedroom apartment he reportedly looked at in the city?
Topic 7/13/2009: What if Jon and Kate were on Match.com …
Discussion question: I think the Jon one is funnier than the Kate one, but see what you think.
Topic 8/14/09: "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" should watch out for "The Real Housewives of Lancaster County"
Discussion questions:
So what do you think: Did you like "The Real Housewives of Lancaster County?" Do like the "The Real Housewives of Atlanta?" Do you actually know any women who behave that way? Would you hang out with them? Which show do you like the best? Which cast would you want to be friends with?
I know I'm ranting on this particular topic (see I read them sometimes!), but you usually seem very forgiving and willing to give parents (particularly Moms) the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their parenting decisions especially when the decision is with good intentions and causes no immediate, long term, or obvious harm to the children. This position of yours, especially when accompanied by the criticism towards parents who seem genuinely interested in their children's well being, is not like you. Or maybe it is. I really don't know.

Growing up, I came home and did my homework before I did anything else. We were allowed to have a snack while we did our homework at the kitchen table, while Mom prepped dinner. That's just how it was. Even on Friday nights (until high school, when marching band interrupted my immediately-after-school schedule) I never realized it COULD be any other way until I started visiting friends' houses after school. But I never felt deprived. To this day, I cannot relax knowing there is work to be done. I will come home from work, have dinner, clean up from dinner, vacuum or play with DS (him on his Fisher-Price version), get him to bed, prep sippy cups and meals for the next day and finish any remaining housework, before I sit down to relax. My husband comes in the door and wants to unwind before doing any more work. I can't stand it. It's just the way I was programmed, I guess. So while I don't know about completely forbidding TV Mon-Thur, I definitely agree with forbidding it (along with computers, phones, etc) until after homework. I know DH will disagree with me there when that time comes – but whomever is home to enforce it will be the one who gets to decide.
February 17th, 2010

I'd say it was completely up to them. With TiVO, they don't have to miss much, anyway. :-)
My kids seldom watched TV from middle school on — just didn't have time, and there wasn't anything that interesting on, anyway. Even now, my daughter only watches TV when she's exhausted, and usually falls asleep on the couch two minutes into the show. (Except "NCIS" — we're both kinda addicted to that.) In high school, my kids had sports practices, play practices, etc. almost every day, and usually didn't get home until 7′ish. I had dinner on the table at that point, and then they would hit their homework. I guess the sports and play practices were their "down time".
Theresa, you're showing your age: most kids these days have TVs in their dorm rooms, and seldom if ever congregate in the common room to watch TV. Yeah, I remember watching TV in college (in the 70's!) with the whole dorm, but those days are long gone. If my daughter misses an episode of "NCIS", she just watches it on Hulu later, during the weekend. Generally, she leaves the dorm at 7:20, and between classes, rehearsals and working, she often doesn't get back to the dorm until after supper. She basically comes home to sleep :-)
My guess is that the Obama girls know how to find Hulu :-)

We have no TV until homework is done here. Sometimes they get so much homework that they're working on it until bedtime. I'd much rather cut back on homework than TV!
We found if we allowed TV then they'd get too out of focus and have a much more difficult time getting the homework done. So we have to enforce the homework first rule. We don't watch TV much, so the TV watching isn't much of a problem when we do watch it.
February 17th, 2010
3:40 pm
If that's what they've decided for their family, great. I certainly don't think that they are deprived in any way. They are probably MORE knowledgable about culture and the world than many kids. Is it really important that they know about Jon & Kate, Survivor, or The Hills? Honestly? (I'd just be glad if I could get iCarly off my TV at my house!)
I like how he made the point that ANYBODY can turn the TV off. As a teacher, I have so many parents who don't do anything to help their kids. At the least, they can turn the TV off and have their kids open a book. Last I looked, the public libraries were free.

Good job Tiger. I say DVR (TiVO) everything and allow a certain amount per week as a reward for getting everything else done. They can figure out how to utilize their time themselves. Kind of like teaching them to be grown up (the ultimate goal).
February 17th, 2010
3:45 pm
I would think right after school the kids would need some down time and decompress, with a snack and outdoor time. My kids do this when there are no extra curricular activities that particular day.
I have to agree that the kids I know that get little to no TV time are glued to tube when they are around it. My 3 nieces, who are not allowed to watch very much TV, were fixated on watching television at my inlaws over the Holidays. The kid across the street is the same way. He comes over to my house to take seek peeks at TV, video games and snacks as if he if starved to death (and no he is not overweight).
Everything is moderation!
February 17th, 2010
3:47 pm
I watch too much TV as an adult. Actually it is because of DVR that I "can't" miss any of my shows. I can just record them! I have 10 Oprahs, a few Tyras, some Law and Orders, etc. What I find is that because I have so much access to shows that I like I watch more TV. I never missed it when I happened to get home too late for 90% of the shows that I record now. I say all that to say, if a child (or an adult) has other options on how to spend the time he or she will not miss TV. I think limiting the amount of TV a child watches is a good thing because 1. there is little TV that I would want my child to watch (if I had one) and 2. there are so many other things to do that are "better". To tell you the truth, I sometimes watch TV to have "company" when the house is too quiet. Seeing as I live alone, more times than not lately TV is all the company I have.

Theresa–downtime does not have to mean TV. It could mean reading a book, playing a board game, doing an art project…something that's not homework. I think President Obama is setting a wonderful example with his girls. Both he and Michelle seem to be doing a great job raising them, and I'm sure when they get to college they will be just fine.
February 17th, 2010

My brother had a friend growing up that was not allowed to watch any TV or have any video games. He went to the beach with us one year for vacation and it was AWFUL. He would not leave the condo unless my mom dragged him because he wanted to watch TV. I can totally see Theresa's point about being in the common room catching up on all the TV you missed.
I love TV and always have. My brother could not name a single show on TV outside of "This Old House" right now and probably never saw an entire episode of Sesame Street as a child. My parents saw the difference in our personalities and never set hard limits on TV except for now allowing me to watch anything inappropriate. That being said, I always made good grades, was very involved in all areas of school and church and had lots of friends. I just liked TV. My brother was the same way and never watched TV and still does not.
I think in moderation and depending on the kid…let them watch. I used to watch Charlie's Angels re-runs then run around with my friends playing Charlie's Angels in the woods with no one supervising. If more kids were allowed to do this today we may not have the over parented basket cases we have today in a lot of cases….

5:28 pm
Wow that's rough Theresa. Are you really that offended? My kids are not allowed to watch TV during the week either when school is in session. They are allowed to watch Fri, Sat, and on Sun til 6. This was my husband's idea and I thought it was too strict because I really enjoy watching TV, but it really makes a difference in our house. My kids also come home and do homework first too. They get 30 minutes or so for snack and they usually talk about their day or some other topics…Yes, we talk to each other. We don't have to be glued to a TV to wind down. Because this is what they are used to, my children don't feel deprived. There are some good shows on TV,a but for the most part, I don't feel they are missing too much. I would think that people would applaud parents who encourage their kids to be active and watch less tv. Who says that weekend tv time is not "in moderation"?
For some, if it comes from someone you disagree with politically, there is nothing that they could say that you would agree with. That's probably why there is so much dissention in Congress.
Truth Test: If you dislike Obama politically and disagree with his "no tv" rule, imagine these statements came from someone you do agree with politically and see if you still feel the same.
February 17th, 2010
5:51 pm
I think it really depends on the kid. Some kids can handle one or two hours of tv a day and still do great in school and perform in extracurricular activities. Others seem unduly influenced by it and don't get their homework done, etc. I'm fine with an hour before and some after homework if it's age appropriate and not bedtime. I honestly think it would help so many more children if they were made to go to bed before 9-11 depending on age. They also do NOT need tvs in their rooms -at any age!

Oh, I know parents are pooped when they get home from work!
It is much easier to send them off to each of their rooms and let them veg out( to be out of your hair), than it is to engage them in conversation or show them how to help you cook dinner…even read a book or GASP have a conversation. Some families cannot eat dinner with TV.
My husband grew up in a house that was 24/7 TV. It is still that way. I CANNOT stand it.
He was a terrible student and punished frequently for it….as in whippings. He also has ADD.
This is interesting:
As I have mentioned before, I could readily give up TV.
My kids did enjoy TV when they were small;
MISTER ROGERS, SESAME STREET, DARKWING DUCK, BUCKY O HARE, WISHBONE AND COMFY COUCH, Of course, they had their favorite movies too. They are now on their own as to what they watch.
One of my neighbors is VERY strict on anything electronic and limited her kids to 60-90 minutes of ANYTHING per day…computer, TV IPOD etc. Her kids are QUITE INTELLIGENT and a joy to be around.
If this is true, it is one of the few things I will shout out: THE OBAMAS ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!

@ JATL, my kids both have had TVs in their rooms ( since high school) and I know studies are against it. They are still both good students…most of the time!
I have never had a TV in the master bedroom. Not my style.

Once my kid got to the point he could wake up an surprise us in the living room at any given time, the wife and I HAD to get a TV in the bedroom…..it just made watching skin-e-max together too distracting wondering if he could pop his head around a corner at any moment!!!!!
@MJG…I don't disagree with your premise…I think the question lies in your definition of "a lot".
I would completely disagree with your neighbors banishment of and IPOD if the kids are just listening to music on it. We have our TV on usually at night on one of those cable provide channels that just plays a constant loop of music (not music videos, just music). I think we've conditioned him to enjoy Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam over Barney and the Wiggles, and I don't regret that for a second! An IPOD filled with his favorite music is his request from his grandmother for his 6th birthday….I don't see anything wrong with that.

On a completely unrelated topic (Lakerat, where are you, you're going to love this), Tiger has announced that he will be giving his first public statement since it all hit the fan. Hopefully he has listened to my advice for him in the past!

"How would you as an adult feel if you walked in a from an eight-hour work day and someone made you sit down and immediately work another hour." That's funny! I do it every day. It's called cooking dinner. Afterwards, I help with homework, pick up around the house, maybe wash a load of clothes, exercise and finally, finally I get to jump in the tub and have some "me" time for about an hour.
I allow my son to watch his favorite show when he gets home IF he doesn't have practice for basketball, soccer, baseball, etc. On those nights, he must do his homework first. He also has to walk HIS dog that he begged for. He complains that he doesn't have enough time to watch TV. Video games are off limits during the week. My daughter is different. She doesn't care for the TV, she just wants to get on Facebook or some other social site. She's limited to computer time outside of school work. That's a tough one because she has to listen to online lectures every night and take notes, do homework, etc. I think what the Obama's are doing is great if it works for them. I'm not much of a TV person. I would prefer to read a good book than see some of the mindless shows on.

@ tiger, you know, it has been several years since she told me this so it really may not have been an IPOD maybe video games….that would make more sense wouldn't it? Again, her kids are really great kids!
I am thinking 60-90 minutes total viewing per day ( school day) is fine but some kids watch HOURS of it. Maybe 2-3 hours split up on a weekend day?
Some Dads around here watch way too much TV too….LOL.. My husband will announce the titles of the shows he plans to watch and we just want to scratch our heads and laugh….we do not care. I will watch NCIS, Numbers, Criminal Minds and sometimes House with him…he can have the rest. Some days he will watch 8 hours of TV…when I am out of town. I could not do it. He can sit in his recliner the entire day except to get some coffee of use the restroom.
On the flip side, he HATES museums or anything cultural like concerts with classical music or plays. His family never got into it. Oh yeah, you had to have a plan for that….not happening, Nothing historical either. So, I have to provide the balance for the kids.
This is why I think TV is so easy….you just flip it on and walk away….nothing for the parent to DO.
Playing a sport outside or even a board game makes you get involved.

I lived in a house where the TV was on all the time but I have never been a big TV watcher. My parents and my brother still watch a ton of TV & go to the movies all the time. I guess my addiction is the computer/internet so maybe I'm not any better. When my son was 4 we bought him a tv but put it in the guest room. It was out of convenience so that if we were watching a movie and he wanted to watch a kid movie or cartoon, he could watch it in another room. For the most part, the boy is so active though that we don't have to restrict his tv time too often. We're far too busy during the week for anything other than the occasional 45 mins it takes us to watch a show on the DVR after all the 'work' is done. On the weekends when we aren't at ball games or wrestling matches, the boy usually watches shows he recorded during the week (like "Mythbusters" or "Howe & Howe Tech" which we all enjoy). But he almost always turns the TV off within an hour or so because he's just too active to sit there any longer.
I think for some parents, no TV during the week is a good rule. I think for some it's not necessary (like us) and others will never embrace it. I did not vote for Obama but I do agree with what he says because I believe he is talking to the parents out there who don't know how to instill moderation in their kids because they're too busy or too lazy. Anyone with half a brain knows that he's not talking to the responsible parents who are there when their kids get home, are involved in their daily homework and teach them at home and don't just depend on the schools to parent their kids. Is he stepping on some peoples' toes in the process? Sure. But last I check most people don't question (and consequently alter) the way they do things until someone offends them for doing it.

This smells funny. Why do I remember a threatening joke President Obama's daughter made about not buying an ad on Nickelodeon during the election, when Obama bought out the networks for his infomercial. That infomercial aired during the weeknight in the beginning of the school year, if I recall correctly.
Maybe it's a new rule, but I think Obama may have a selective memory about his parenting habits prior to his election.
February 17th, 2010
11:07 pm
We don't have a t.v. on the 1st floor so the kids don't watch it during the week. Once we get home it is time to do homework, chores, eat dinner and go to bed. Not a lot of time for tv watching and they really don't miss it.
February 18th, 2010
6:55 am
I guess I am farther off the charts than most. When they were small they got a half hour each per week (Sat morn) which they could combine with each other to get a longer block. And for 4 years (late elementary-middle) no TV in the house at all. Worked well, except there were some things that most kids knew that mine had no idea about (We thought Home Improvement was about repairing your house).
We did lots of family and individual pursuits instead.
February 18th, 2010
7:17 am
@catlady, there are lots of things my son doesn't know about like Pokemon, Bakugan, Ben 10 and all the usual things elementary-age boys seem to enjoy because he doesn't see those things on TV or anywhere else. And we're fine with that. There's plenty of time for super heroes and whatever; right now we want to start off with him knowing TV is a luxury and when he watches it should be something that will actually enrich him or make him laugh without us as parents having to worry about the content or message of the program.
February 18th, 2010

Well MJG – put me down as a lazy parent. My tv is on ALL the time. My daughter grew up in front of a tv, as I did. Growing up we had 4 tvs in the house. One in the den, one in the kitchen, one in my parent's bedroom and one in the basement. I currently own 4 tvs. I remember watching the news during dinner growin up. Also, Wild Kingdom was always on when we ate on Sundays.
I grew up doing my homework on the floor in front of the tv. My daughter is the same way. She actually sleeps with the tv on.
So I guess we are both lazy.
Forget the fact that I walk my dogs at least 2 miles A DAY. That I work outside in my yard as often as possible. Forget the fact that my house is clean, that there is plenty of food in the fridge, and I spent a lot of time with my child when she was home. Just lazy I guess……

Who cares what Obama does with his daughters?
As far as TV goes, people would benefit from turning it off altogether, and leaving it off. TV is a major contributor to the spreading retardation of America. It's gotten worse the past 10 years.

And, Tiger Woods is a major jerk. Golf will continue to grow to hate him; his endorsements will all go away; his star is fading to black. No pun intended.

Well, obviously there are parents who let television raise their children and the President is trying to set an example. So I applaud him for the effort.
As for my child, I am just not that regemented to set times when he can and can't watch television or whatever else. And we don't have many channels anyway, so he doesn't watch much. However, he does like video games and if I notice that he has been playing to long I turn it off and tell him to write a story, read a book, or go play outside. There are no set rules.
Usually, I can just talk to him about stuff like that and he makes good decisions.
February 18th, 2010
9:51 am
how about minding your own business. raise your own children. and I mean raise them. maybe parents should take a few pointers from successful parents if they can't hack the job themselves. otherwise, do your job as parents. I fairly tired of having to do it and pay via taxes for raising children via govt and charitable organizations when the parents just don't do it.

@abc You sound very hateful. If you don't care, then why comment? DUH!
I doubt that the sport of golf will "continue to grow to hate him" because like it or not, Tiger brought the kind of publicity to golf that it had never seen prior. There are some people in this world who believe in forgiveness. Of course you probably don't need it because you must not have ever done anything embarrassing or hurtful to others. I believe with time, this drama won't be as spectacular and people will recall what he is famous for – being a great golfer!! Let his wife and family work out their issues. They are the ones who matter in this whole fiasco.
Why do people (maybe not you abc) idolize humans and put them high on a pedestal and then turn on them when they fall?

I really don't care how much tv the Obama girls watch..If this works for them, great..Growing up, we didn't watch a lot of tv, because we were always outside..My two little ones tend to watch more tv during the winter time..We have 3 tv and dvd players in the car, but I still don't watch a lot of tv..Mostly Jeopardy and HGTV at night while in bed.
@JJ..I have a brother that watches a lot of tv and he isn't lazy nor dumb..He tested way above normal on an IQ test..He plays golf pretty much every day and actually travels to play..

M1chelle, just check out the stories published today about Tiger's press conference scheduled for tomorrow. Golfers resent that he's even doing it on a Friday instead of a Monday, such that it detracts publicity from Golf events over the weekend. You think golf misses Tiger Woods because he's a great golfer? Not. Football wouldn't miss TO, either.
As far as my comments go, if you object to them, feel free to not read them.
February 18th, 2010
10:25 am
@abc, I think the TO and Tiger comparison is apples and oranges. TO is not as great of a receiver as Tiger is a golfer. I would think football (or the Colts) would miss someone like Payton Manning. I don't think it was smart of Tiger to do a press confrence during a golf tournament and take away any shine from that tournament. I didn't even know that tournament was going on…So actually, because golf is in the news, maybe people will tune in – even if it's to spite Tiger. I'm sure his timing had something to do with Accenture dropping him. Isn't the tournament sponsored by Accenture?
Also, I won't know if I object to your comments if I don't read them first. :-) But it's a free world and freedom of speech is an awesome privilege so if you want to say that you don't care, then that's your right. My apologies.
February 18th, 2010
10:36 am
Peyton Manning isn't a jerk like those other guys, either. If football ever misses him, it will be because of his personality, not his playing ability. People maintain celebrity not on the merits of their abilities, but because the public admires or is entertained by their character and personality. The likes of TO and Tiger, jerks and fakes, bomb on the celebrity scale. Tiger attracts attention lately only due to scandal and sensationalism; that will subside, to be replaced by disinterest. He'll be the richest loser in the news, no matter how many more tournaments he wins.

My daughter gets an hour of "downtime" when she gets home. During that time she fixes herself a snack and watches Netflix. After that she does homework, eats dinner and prepares for the next day. I dropped cable long ago and there is not too much that she is interested in on network television. However if everything is done early because of a light homework night, I will sometimes let her pop in a DVD until bedtime.

@5!!!: Why do President Obama have to "set a good example" with the way he and Mrs. Obama parents their children/
I look to the President of the United States to lead and represent our country, not play Dr. Spock (or whatever the current fad is now.) I don't expect him to be an expert parent — that's not what he was elected to do.
We make a mistake when we expect ANY celebrity — i.e., Obama, Tiger Wood, etc. — to do anything other than what we pay them to do: run a country, hit a golf ball. Assuming that strengths in one area make them superhuman in all areas is just bizarre.
February 18th, 2010

(Wow, lots of mistakes in that first paragraph! Sorry, an all-nighter is definitely making itself felt!) It should be: Why does President Obama have to "set a good example" with the way he and Mrs. Obama parent their children?

I on the other hand watch entirely too much. I rarely ever watch live tv, but after my daughter is down for the night I am glued to old shows on Netflix or whatever I missed that I can catch online on the networks or Hulu. I am big legal/mystery/detective show fan, so some nights I will watch episode after episode of reruns of shows like NCIS, Law & Order, Ironside, Qunicy M.E., etc. Anyone have any insomnia tricks?

Hillgrove turned four South Cobb turnovers into 28 points in a game in which both offenses struggled early and went on to beat the Eagles 37-14 in what had the feel of a playoff game Friday at Hillgrove.
The victory moved Hillgrove (6-3, 5-2) into a tie for second place in Region 4-AAAAAA on a night when a loss could have eliminated the Hawks from the playoff race. The Hawks will finish the regular season against region champion McEachern next week and could still make the playoffs even with a loss to the Indians. South Cobb (6-3, 4-3), which at one point this season was in first place in the region, fell into fifth with the loss.
Two fumble recoveries by Cameron Kowalewski, an interception by DyKari Hickey and a fumble return for a touchdown by Justin Haney enabled Hillgrove to score 35 points in a 15-minute span late that began late in the second quarter.
"That's two weeks in a row they've played really well," Hillgrove coach Phil Ironside said of his defense. "We got the big turnover by DyKari Hickey that kinda got us rolling. We had great field position. I thought we should've scored more early but we didn't for whatever reason. I'm sure South Cobb playing well had something to do with it."
South Cobb was playing without quarterback Stephon Masha, who was out with an injury. In his place, the Eagles used sophomore Kylil Carter. The Eagles finished with 192 yards, but they struggled for much of the game and didn't score until the final three minutes of the game after Hillgrove had built a 37-0 lead. Carter was 5-for-15 passing for 35 yards and carried 19 times for 19 yards.
Hillgrove failed to make a first down on three of its first five possessions before it took control in the final four minutes of the first half. Kowalewski's first fumble recovery led to a 12-yard touchdown pass from Elijah Ironside to Justin Denton, and Hickey's interception led to an 18-yard pass from Troy Thompson to Marcus Bowens that made it a 13-0 lead with 42 seconds remaining in the half.
Kowalewski set up the Hawks' third touchdown when he took the ball away from a scrambling Carter on the third play of the third quarter, and Haney's returned with 1:47 to play in the quarter capped the 35-point run.
South Cobb – 0-0-0-14 – 14
Hillgrove – 0-13-22-2 – 37
H – Justin Denton 12 pass from Elijah Ironside (Andrew Gaughn)
H – Marcus Bowens 18 pass from Troy Thompson (kick failed)
H – Richardre Bagley 1 run (Evan Engram pass from Bagley)
H – Engram 16 pass from Thompson (Gaughn kick)
H – Justin Haney 27 fumble return (Gaughn kick)
H – Safety, Josh Ellis tackled quarterback in end zone
S – Chris Simon 60 interception return (Carlos Saldana kick)
S – Chauncey Ingram 13 run (Saldana kick)

depends. if Hillgrove shows up and utilizes #1 then they have a shot.
November 5th, 2012
9:30 am
More important than getting the ball to #1 is keeping the Indian offense on the sideline. And when they do have the ball, make them sustain drives. Their offense seems to be content to click along and pick up 3-4 yards then all of a sudden, the lid blows and they break long play after long play and they're up 21. Completely different approach than the past couple of seasons.
November 5th, 2012
11:32 am
McEachern's defense has improve tremendously, the past few weeks starting with the Marietta game they have been taking teams #1 go to guy almost shutting them out. The won't game be out. Young team is coming along nicely next year they will more dangerous.
November 5th, 2012
11:58 am
saw McEachern early in the season and thought they had a nice nucleus. had some concerns about their youth at that time for a deep playoff run. you're right they are coming together at the right time.

Review: Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers
I first started playing Magic: The Gathering back in the 8th grade. After school my friends and I would hang out on the steps of the library and we'd play until our parents started arriving to pick us up. It was fun, competitive and social. We'd constantly redesign decks and the game was still new enough that you rarely had to worry about weird new rules screwing up everything. Times were great, direct damage and goblin decks still worked and it gave us something to do other than trying to look at porn on the library computers using this amazing new "internet" thing.
Magic started dying for me not long after Mirage came out. Mirage introduced new odd rules like flanking and phasing, and it was just the beginning of an unpleasant trend. It wasn't until Tempest later on and the introduction of buyback and shadow that I quit. The game stopped being fun for me as I got tired of constantly redesigning my decks in order to counter my friends' constant deck redesigns. Plus, shadow and phasing were just annoying as all hell.
From there, I abandoned my cards to the closet and devoted my attention to both Microprose PC games (X-Com) and internet porn.
Thank you Rule 34 for merging these two adolescent interests into prime nightmare fodder.
Aside from a few games over the next decade or so, I gave up Magic. So it was with a bit of hesitation that I took a look at one of Steam's newest releases, Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers (or as I shall refer to it from here on out, M:TG-DOTP). M:TG-DOTP was originally released back in June 2009 on Xbox Live Arcade. There it sold well and is claimed to be one of the top 10 played Xbox Live titles for reasons I just can't fathom. This month M:TG-DOTP was re-released on Steam and it can be yours for just $9.99. Or for the same price you could buy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Plants vs. Zombies, or Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2. I would recommend going for one of those as M:TG-DOTP is a waste for anyone other than a diehard Magic fan.
M:TG-DOTP is a Magic: The Gathering simulator. You don't get to see the monsters come to life from your cards and duke it out, nor do you get to see magical effects fly across the screen. Nope, M:TG-DOTP simulates playing a round of Magic with a mute opponent you can't see. When you start up the game you can choose from offline single player (with co-op mode) or online multiplayer.
In single player mode you can choose from a number of game types. In Campaign mode you fight against AI opponents to unlock special cards and new decks. You initially choose a theme deck such as a red goblin deck or a green trampling deck, which you can then edit somewhat using the new cards you've unlocked. As you defeat AI enemies you unlock their decks as well as the ability to play against them whenever you'd like.
In Challenge mode you complete puzzles to…(wait for it), unlock new cards. Well, I say puzzles, because that's what they claim to be, but really they're challenges along the lines of "with this set up and these cards, defeat your opponent in one turn." In Custom Duel you can play a practice game against any of the AI opponents (though you can do this in campaign as well so I don't quite get the point of this game mode). In Co-op Campaign mode you can play alongside a friend. However, in order to actually do this you have to plug in a gamepad for your friend to play on, which is mildly annoying. Finally Co-op Custom Duel mode works exactly the same way you'd imagine; it's a mix of Co-op and Custom Duel.
I'd love to say something about the multiplayer here, but when I looked online there weren't any games available. Sure it was the first day the game was up on Steam, but that's still not a good sign.
So how does the game play? It's dull. Painfully dull. You have your pre-generated deck and it deals out 7 cards and gives you the option to reshuffle if you're not happy with it. Then you take turns laying out mana and playing cards. The computer moves the cards about for you and that's about it. It doesn't keep a count of your mana for you or anything handy like that. Nope, instead gameplay in M:TG-DOTP appears as a artsy tabletop (you get to change table themes if you're feeling "wild") upon which your cards move about. That's it. That's the entirety of the gameplay. There's no story, no flashy effects, nothing, nada, zilch. And that's really what's wrong with this. At best, M:TG-DOTP is basically a Magic version of a simple computer chess game but without the complex strategies that make chess interesting.
As you're stuck playing with pre-generated decks (that you can modify slightly), M:TG-DOTP lacks part of what made Magic fun: deck designing. You can't try to recreate your old favorite Red/Green deck from junior high or even a famous 1st place tourney deck. No, you're stuck using the decks that come with the game. What's worse, M:TG-DOTP lacks any of the social interaction that makes Magic fun. There's no insulting or trash talking your buddies as you play, no handshake after crushing your opponent, and no meeting up to compare strategies later on. Instead what you get is a dull, dull game that replaces one of the few activities lonely nerds have to socialize with real human beings, with an idiotic and repetitive computer.
I would pick this sweaty, crowded, BO-filled scenario over Duels of the Planeswalkers any day.
If you're a huge fan and you have to play every damned Magic based video game that comes out, then I can't stop you. If you really want to play Magic then I recommend that you go to your local gaming store (or large chain bookstore if you must), buy a damned starter deck and a few booster packs, and get your ass out there and play the game with real people. It might cost a bit more than buying this game off of Steam, but it's worth it. The final verdict on Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers: Fry it.
Burn Baby, Burn.
