A world-wide search for premium ingredients brought Hakubaku Japan to Australia's fertile lands. They found the finest organic wheat for authentic Japanese noodles – a traditional favourite. Ballarat, Victoria has become the Australian home of Hakubaku.
Noodles are a staple of the Japanese diet, eaten everyday by many. Toshikoshi Soba (known as Year End Soba) is a noodle dish traditionally served on New Year's Eve. Leading up to New Year celebrations, Japanese people are busy cleaning their homes and preparing food, so it's customary to have a bowl of Toshikoshi Soba in this busy time. Similar to Chinese culture, long Soba noodles symbolise longevity.
Introduction Spinach so fresh, spring onions for bite and toasted sesame seeds for aroma
Introduction Barbeques and noodles DO go together! Or a grill pan if it's too cold outside :-)

Thymine, organic compound of the pyrimidine family that is a constituent of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA, along with RNA (ribonucleic acid), regulates hereditary characteristics in all living cells. Like the other nitrogenous components of nucleic acids, thymine is part of thymidine, a corresponding nucleoside (a structural unit composed of a nitrogen compound and a sugar), in which it is chemically linked with the sugar deoxyribose. It is also part of thymidylic acid, a nucleotide (a larger structural unit composed of a nucleoside and phosphoric acid), which is a phosphate ester of thymidine. The nucleotide, the nucleoside, or thymine itself may be prepared from DNA by selective techniques of hydrolysis.

While reviving the Ice Age's woolly mammoth to the present day with DNA remains a high scientific fantasy for some, there are special considerations that need to be addressed. Will the mammoth brought into the 21st Century be well taken care for? Will he enough to eat? Will he have a large enough icy environment? Will he or she have a mammoth of the opposite sex to begin a nest with?

Keywords: Woolly mammoth, cloning, contingencies, DNA, Sir Ian Wilmut
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "I think it should be done as long as we can provide great care for the animal," Sir Ian Wilmut, the Edinburgh-based stem-cell scientist responsible for Dolly the Sheep says. "If there are reasonable prospects of them being healthy, we should do it. We can learn a lot about them," he added.
Wilmut has outlined how cells plucked from frozen woolly mammoth carcasses might one day help resurrect the ancient beasts.
While it is highly unlikely that a mammoth could be cloned in the same way as Dolly, more modern techniques that convert tissue cells into stem cells could do that.
"I've always been very skeptical about the whole idea, but it dawned on me that if you could clear the first hurdle of getting viable cells from mammoths, you might be able to do something useful and interesting," Wilmut is reported as saying in an article.
Woolly mammoths roamed the Earth tens of thousands of years ago in a period called the late Pleistocene. Their numbers began to fall in North America and on mainland Eurasia about 10,000 years ago. Some lived on for a further 6,000 years. Hunting and environmental change drove the pachyderms into extinction.
Raising mammoths from the dead, evoking "Jurassic Park" has gathered steam in recent years as the number of frozen bodies recovered from the Siberian permafrost has risen. Increased interest in these bygone beasts is for a simple reason -- there is money in the ancient remains.
The most complete woolly mammoth carcass ever recovered from Russia was unveiled at an exhibition in Yokohama, Japan earlier this month. Nicknamed Yuka, the baby female lived about 39,000 years ago, and is remarkable for the preservation of her fur and soft tissues, such as muscle.
Yuka's tissue samples have been sent to the laboratory of Hwang Woo-suk, the disgraced South Korean stem cell scientist, who, with Russian researchers, hopes to clone the mammoth.
Wilmut says he doesn't doubt the sincerity of the scientists hoping to clone woolly mammoths with the Dolly technique. Hew called the idea "wildly optimistic" as the technical challenges were so tough.
Wilmut explains that many formidable hurdles still stand in the way of scientists who want to clone the beasts. The technique requires scores of healthy mammoth cells and hundreds or thousands of eggs from a closely related species, such as the Asian elephant.
The most immediate problem is that mammoth cells must survive with their DNA intact. The cells degenerate quickly at the temperature of melting snow and ice, when most remains are found.
"By the time you've got a bone sticking up in the sunshine, it's effectively too late. You need to get it straight out of the deep freeze, as it were," Wilmut said.

I have followed Missouri marijuana politics quite a bit since 2012. I have long pointed to Missouri as a state that is ripe for reform, even if it's not one of the first states that you think of when you think of who's next to legalize recreational and/or medical marijuana. Recreational marijuana may be a tough sell to Missouri voters right now, but I think that medical marijuana would pass with flying colors if it were ever on the ballot in Missouri. If New Approach Missouri has its way, Missouri voters will get a chance to do exactly that onRead More
United States Senate Spending Package Is Good For Marijuana Reform
The United States House of Representatives has historically been better when it comes to marijuana reform. My old college political science professor would always tell me that's because Representatives are more likely to support things that may seem 'controversial' in politics compared to Senators because they often come from districts that make it easy for them to get re-elected. I'm sure there are more reasons for that, but regardless, the House has had people like Jared Polis and Earl Blumenauer that have fought for marijuana reform for quite awhile, while the Senate is only recently seeing people step up. SoRead More
Will Tech Investor Sean Parker Start Yet Another California Marijuana Legalization Initiative?
A couple of weeks after the 2014 Election, during which Oregon, Alaska, and Washington D.C. voted to legalize marijuana, all eyes turned to California. California is, and has always been, the 'top prize' for marijuana reform efforts. It's estimated that almost half of the marijuana industry in America is located in California. Think about that for a minute. The marijuana industry is MASSIVE, and getting bigger everyday, and half of that industry is located in one state. I wrote an article titled 'What Will It Take To Legalize Marijuana In California In 2016?' on November 23, 2014. In that article,Read More
Michigan House Votes In Favor Of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, Taxes, And Edibles
Some very important medical marijuana bills passed in the Michigan House of Representatives today. Those bills were HB 4209, HB 4210 and HB 4827.

In that article Rick Thompson had the following to say about the bills: 4209 will end all the existing dispensaries in the state and require them to get a new local and state authorization to reopen. It establishes a big government program to control growth/production/sale of marijuana to registered patients through commercial facilities. Commercial distribution of medical marijuana has been prevalent in Michigan since 2010 andRead More
Teamwork Makes The Dream Work When It Comes To Marijuana Reform And Business
If you have been a marijuana activist or marijuana entrepreneur for awhile, then I'm sure you have noticed the unnecessary amount of feuds and baggage that surrounds so many people in the marijuana world.

Pants On Fire – Stephen Harper Is Wrong About Marijuana Being 'Infinitely Worse' Than Tobacco
Canadian Conservative Party candidate Stephen Harper made headlines this last weekend when he stated that marijuana was worse than tobacco. And not just a little bit worse. Mr. Harper stated that marijuana is 'infinitely worse' than tobacco. Below are his comments, via Canada.Com: It's a path Conservative Leader Stephen Harper vehemently opposes, using it to drive a wedge between him and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who wants to legalize marijuana. After Harper clashed with Trudeau over the issue last week, the prime minister was asked Saturday why he was so opposed. "There's just overwhelming and growing scientific and medical evidenceRead More
North Korea is home to one of the most oppressive governments of the Earth today. In the country, there is absolutely no private ownership, and everything belongs to the state.

And narcs are planted throughout the country to report suspected citizens of possible criminal behavior. However, these narcs have nothing to do with marijuana (but they will certainly get you on hard drugs). North Korea doesn't consider marijuana a drug at all, and is completely legal in the country. That's right. IRead More

Yeah, they're going to do it. Lansing sources tell me the Michigan House of Representatives will take up and pass on Wednesday a trio of bills that will modify the state's seven-year old medical marijuana program to establish a big-government system of rigorously-regulated distribution centers- and a fleet of armored cars designed to haul the pot around. HBs 4209, 4210 and 4827 offer so many changes to the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act and the patients/caregivers who register with it that it's impossible to categorize them all in one spot.

Copper crime wave hits Oak HillFebruary 5, 2012
By Ann Fowler
In the past six months, Austin and Oak Hill businesses have been victimized by copper thieves, who have stolen more than $10,000 in copper tubing from air conditioning systems. Police officials say many times the thieves brazenly park vans or pickups next to the businesses and, dressed like legitimate service people, use ladders to access rooftop a/c units.
Austin Police Detective Darryl Fulbright told the Gazette that the thefts are happening citywide, statewide and nationwide. Oak Hill area businesses have also been victimized. In the past ten days, thieves have targeted businesses at the Shops at Arbor Trails on William Cannon. Police could not give the Gazette specific information on the January 23 "Theft of Metal" police report attributed to Costco. A Costco representative told the Gazette that the theft was actually in the general shopping center. Another report dated January 28 was for the theft of ATM data wiring stolen prior to its installation in the Arbor Trails complex.
Det. Fulbright said no one appears exempt from such thefts: churches, schools, libraries, and homes have all been victimized. He pointed out that last June, the Ruiz Branch of the Austin Public Library was shut down for weeks after thieves removed the copper from the air conditioning system. Oak Hill residents whose homes were destroyed by wildfire last year were victimized again when copper thieves stole wiring that rightly belonged to the demolition companies.
"Sometimes they may get $30 when they sell copper tubing or wire," said Det. Fulbright, "but it will cost the victim 10 to 15 times that in repair cost. It's unfortunate, the inconvenience of dealing with the insurance company and getting repairs. Victims have said, 'If they needed $30, they should have just come to the door and asked.' "
Speaking about the Oak Hill thefts, Det. Fulbright said, "We are actively pursuing them." He said a colleague likened copper thieves to an ant hill. "You can step on one, but there are still a thousand of them around."
Officials say public awareness and reporting is often the best defense against such thefts. Men that show up under the guise of a/c maintenance should be asked for ID. Anyone seeing vehicles parked near businesses or empty homes (those for sale or lease) during unusual hours should call 911 with the license plate number so police can investigate.
Anyone with information about these incidents can call the Austin Police Department burglary unit at (512) 974-6941.

MIAMI — A Florida federal judge has dismissed terrorism support and conspiracy charges against a Muslim cleric accused along with his father of funneling cash to the Pakistani Taliban.
U.S. District Judge Robert Scola ruled Thursday there was insufficient evidence against 26-year-old Izhar Khan. He is an imam at a mosque in suburban Margate north of Fort Lauderdale.
The judge is letting the case against Mr. Khan's father, 77-year-old Hafiz Khan, go forward and the trial is continuing in Miami federal court.
Judge Scola ruled that Izhar Khan's involvement in two transactions totaling $1,100 did not show he was supporting Taliban fighters. Charges against another of Hafiz Khan's sons were dropped earlier by prosecutors.
Hafiz Khan is on trial for four terrorism support-related charges that each carry maximum 15-year prison sentences.
Attorney seeks release of Saudi rape suspect
LAS VEGAS — A defense attorney says he'll seek the release from jail of a 23-year-old Saudi Arabia air force sergeant facing a child rape charge in Las Vegas.
Mazen Alotaibi stood in shackles Thursday and stared at the courtroom floor while a Las Vegas judge delayed an evidence hearing pending a bail hearing Friday.
Defense attorney Don Chairez said later that he'll offer to have Mr. Alotaibi turn in his Saudi diplomatic passport if he's allowed to post bail.
Mr. Alotaibi faces kidnapping, sexual assault with a minor and felony coercion charges that could get him decades in prison.
Police allege that Mr. Alotaibi pulled a 13-year-old boy into a sixth-floor room at the Circus Circus hotel and sexually assaulted him the morning before Las Vegas' big New Year's Eve celebration.

Family Traveling with Teens
We stayed a weekend for a concert and to visit Valleyfair and the location was perfect to jumping on and off the interstate, also IDEAL if you needed to take an alternate route should one or the other be backed up with traffic or an accident. Point is, this location is phenomenal for getting to where you need to go. Also LOTS of places to shop for any budget and lots of places to eat too! We usually slept until noon because we were on vacation and so the fact that the hotel offered no breakfast was no problem. We often came back to the hotel late and would bring food from other places, sometimes pizza, and worried about being too noisy next door to the other guests but the hotel is built solid and we never heard any complaints even when our eight year old would sometimes RUN down the hall when we told her not too! Very family friendly place even though it is sophisticatedly designed! Overall LOVED our stay! Would stay again if ever in the Minneapolis area. ...

Short Term Commitment – Long Term Benefits: Three Study-Abroad Options for Community College Students
Updated September 15, 2015
While study abroad has long been considered an option only for students at four-year colleges and universities, there are actually many options for community college students who would like to experience studying in another country.
Recently, a measure passed that allows community colleges in California to offer 4 year degrees. Until now such offerings have been the sole province of other institutions. Now, the game has changed.
Air traffic controllers enjoy secure, interesting work. Earning a degree in ATC at a community college is an excellent first step to securing a job.

Monster: Tales Series
Complete Monsters from the Tales Series.
Tales of Destiny 2
Tales of Destiny 2
- Barbatos Goetia was a former member of the Er'ther Army, who sold out his people to the Aetherians during the Aeth'er Wars so that he could be on the winning side. Due to the scale of the atrocities he committed, Barbatos's name was removed from history altogether. Following his resurrection by Elraine, Barbatos acts as her personal assassin, going after the heroes who saved the world from the resurrection of the Aethersphere and the superweapon Belcrant. In order to kill two of these heroes, Stahn and Rutee, Babartos uses a little boy as a hostage and threatens to kill him unless they drop their weapons. After they do so, Barbatos kills Stahn and cripples Rutee. Barbatos then tries to kill High Priestess Philia Felice and King Garr Kelvin of Phandaria, the latter of which he attempts to kill after crashing an airship into the royal castle as a distraction. When he returns with Elraine to the past, Barbatos encounters Dymlos, the old enemy who had killed him, and, in revenge, kidnaps a girl who's in love with Dymlos to use her as a hostage to force the weakened Dymlos to duel him. Utterly self-centered, Barbatos's ultimate goal and obsession is to force history to recognize him as a hero, even as he commits every evil deed imaginable and has no comprehension of what true heroism is.
- Kvar is a Mad Scientist infamous for being the cruelest of the Desian Grand Cardinals. Heartless and sadistic, Kvar runs a Human Ranch where his prisoners are turned into Exospheres in a process that leaves the party horrified. Discovering that some of his prisoners escaped from the ranch to the village of Luin, Kvar attacks Luin, destroying the village, killing many and capturing the survivors for his experiments. When Lloyd encounters Kvar, the Cardinal brags about how he removed the Exosphere from Lloyd's mother, causing her to turn into a monster and attack both her child and her lover, Kratos, which resulted in Kratos killing her to save their son. The depth of Kvar's depravity is such that even his own men are appalled by him.
- Rodyle is another Desian Grand Cardinal who shares Kvar's penchant for mad science. Taking over Kvar's experiments following his death, Rodyle manages his own Human Ranches and is working to create a superweapon, the Mana Cannon, in order to destroy the Tower of Salvation, overthrow his boss, and become the ruler of two worlds. When the party frees the Ranch's prisoners, Rodyle manages to trap the prisoners again and floods the room they're in, forcing the party to watch. Following his defeat, Rodyle activates the self-destruct sequence of his Human Ranch to make sure the heroes and everyone else in the Ranch dies with him.
- Zilva Madigan is the genocidal leader of the Four Stars and the one pulling the strings behind the Kingdom of Callegea to ensure that the Gajuma reign supreme and the Huma are all eradicated. To achieve this, Zilva possessed the body of Dr. Barrs, the most revered doctor in the kingdom, then used it to poison and kill Ladras Lindblum, the King of Karegia. Following this, Zilva used Dr. Barrs's body to attack his good friend, Eugene, forcing Eugene to kill Barrs in self-defense. This led to Eugene's exile for "murder." Afterwards, Zilva began manipulating the naïve daughter of King Ladras, the new queen, Agarte. Zilva convinced Agarte to kidnap beautiful Huma girls for Agarte to switch bodies with, kick starting the events of the game, and later convinced Agarte to revive Geyorkias, the King of Sacred Beasts. This was all done so that Zilva could take over Callegea and use Geyorkias's power to cleanse the world of Huma. Unlike most other villains in the series, Zilva has no Freudian Excuse for her crimes, she's just a cruel Fantastic Racist who believes the Gajuma are superior, and deserve to rule.
- Vaclav Bolud is the Evil Prince of the Crusand Empire whose ultimate goal is to conquer the world. Vaclav first sends out Senel Coolidge to capture the Merines that control Legacy, a small continent that acts as a ship, in order to seize Legacy for himself. When Senel befriends the Merines instead of capturing them, Vaclav launches an allout assault on the Village of the Ferines. Though Vaclav doesnt capture his targets, he does kill many of the Ferines and kidnaps Stella Telmes, the Merines sister, because he views her as useful. Trapping her in suspended animation, Vaclav turned Stella into a proto-Merines and used her to control the Legacy, with the ultimate goal of using Legacys Nerifes Cannon to destroy the Holy Rexalian Empire. Vaclav also committed genocide against the Orerines people and performed vicious experiments on them in special camps.
- Cumore, a captain of the Imperial Knights, is from a noble family and considers peasants to be completely beneath him. When he is placed in charge of the town of Heliord, he tricks peasants into volunteering for brutal labor with the promise of making them nobles. Cumore has no authority to ennoble people and he knows it. The labor these peasants undergo is so brutal that many of them die of exhaustion. Later, Cumore is sent to govern an oasis town to find a monster that lives in the desert. While in this position, he forces the peasants in the town to go into the desert to find the monster, knowing that this will likely kill them. The only remorse Cumore shows for his crimes is that they eventually lead a vigilante to kill him.
- Ragou is the corrupt magistrate of Nor Harbor. Nor Harbor has been experiencing storms, making it hard for the people there to make a living off of the port commerce. To make things worse, Ragou harshly taxes his people. If someone cannot afford his taxes, Ragou sends his mercenaries to take their loved ones (including children) as collateral. He keeps these loved ones in a basement full of monsters. When the heroes confront him over this, he explains that he finds people getting eaten by monsters to be entertaining. Ragou offers only one hope to his people: if they kill a vicious monster and bring back its horn as proof, they will never have to pay taxes again. Of course, this monster would make short work of most people who try to fight it. The heroes eventually discover that the storms around Nor Harbor are created by a special Blastia in Ragou's mansion. He orchestrated the suffering of his people for his own amusement.
- Alexei is the Commandant of the Imperial Knights. However, he betrays his Empire in an attempt to conquer the world. To accomplish this, Alexei orchestrates a genocide of the Entelexeia, the race that protects the world, so he can harvest the powerful apatheia from their corpses. Two of his minions are forced to obey him because he will shut off their artificial hearts at the first sign of defiance. He tortures Estelle, a member of the royal family he was sworn to serve, to force her to use her powers to activate Zaude, an ancient superweapon. Using Estelle for this purpose floods Zaphias, the capital city of the Empire, with deadly aer and vicious monsters.
- Rommy is an Inquisitor for the Church of Janna, a Fantastic Racist organization that labels all Leimorneans as heretics and wants them wants them captured for magical experiments that harvest their souls. Not only is she a gleeful participant in this organization, she's a cruel sociopath who kills people for fun then blames it on her prisoners (usually innocent people who happen to be Leimorneans), tortures and brainwashes said prisoners, and sics Caius's brainwashed dad on him for fun and then kills the guy (in front of his son) after she gets bored of their fight. We see her kill the main heroine's parents for no reason as her Establishing Character Moment and it's implied that she has a lot more victims than the ones we see. She also messes with Rubia's perception of her friends via Hannibal Lecture, again, because she thought it was amusing to watch her resulting Heroic BSOD. Everything she does is For the Evulz and she is utterly unrepentant about her crimes. While she may be possessed by a Spot, it is implied that the Spot IS her, and Spots are shown to have a sense of morality (if an unusual one).

The whole city participates, whether by eclectic DJ sets or interesting art installations city wide!
But it doesn't stop there, I Heart Radio Music Festival is expected to take place Friday September 18th, Everyone from Cold Play, Nicki Minaj and Motley Crue have headlined in the past, stay tuned for this year's headliners, so far rumors include Hozier and Try Songz!

This is not all that will be happening of course, Flosstradamus, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, Kaskade, and many other Dj's will be performing at the hottest Las Vegas night clubs and beach clubs throughout the summer. And if anyone here likes Money, make sure you're here in September.

Kenyon Martin has remained healthy and performed well enough to earn himself another ten days on the New York Knicks roster. The veteran forward has played out his original ten-day contract with the Knicks, but the team is reportedly going to give him another one.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, the team actually hopes that Martin sticks with the club for the rest of the season. However, the Knicks aren't ready to sign him for the remainder of the season because of injury concerns.
Martin didn't play at all this season until the Knicks signed him to the ten-day contract. And even still, he got limited playing time in the first ten-day deal. So far with the Knicks, Martin has played in one game for five minutes. He didn't score any points or pull down any rebounds. But he also didn't turn the ball over.
Martin was once a force in the NBA. He was never really the star people thought he might be, but he was a good player. In his career, he has averaged 13.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game. He was thought to be an easy number one overall pick out of college in 2000, but then he broke his leg. He was still drafted in the first round.

As mentioned by the experts in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, primer selection is a factor that is least predictable and most difficult to troubleshoot. Simply put, some primers just do not work.6
The CR primer (Table 1) contains stretches of polypurines and polypyrimidines that are prone to form secondary structures that inhibit proper primer function. This, coupled with the rarity of total EBV genome in the total cellular DNA extract and the fact that the LMP-1 gene constitutes only 1% of the viral genome, made the task of amplifying Exon C difficult if not impossible using a conventional thermal cycler. With a switch to the Eppendorf Mastercycler gradient and applying its temperature gradient capability, the specific band (825 bp) for LMP-1 Exon C was successfully amplified at an annealing temperature of 56C (Fig. 2A). No amplimers were detected at 54C and at temperatures above 56C.

Live lecture versus video podcast in undergraduate medical education: A randomised controlled trial
1 Rheumatology Department, Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust, London, UK
2 Care of the Elderly, Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol, UK
3 Statistical Advisory Service, Imperial College, London, UK
BMC Medical Education 2010, 10:68 doi:10.1186/1472-6920-10-68Published: 8 October 2010
Information technology is finding an increasing role in the training of medical students. We compared information recall and student experience and preference after live lectures and video podcasts in undergraduate medical education.
We performed a crossover randomised controlled trial. 100 students were randomised to live lecture or video podcast for one clinical topic. Live lectures were given by the same instructor as the narrator of the video podcasts. The video podcasts comprised Powerpoint™ slides narrated using the same script as the lecture. They were then switched to the other group for a second clinical topic. Knowledge was assessed using multiple choice questions and qualitative information was collected using a questionnaire.
No significant difference was found on multiple choice questioning immediately after the session. The subjects enjoyed the convenience of the video podcast and the ability to stop, review and repeat it, but found it less engaging as a teaching method. They expressed a clear preference for the live lecture format.
We suggest that video podcasts are not ready to replace traditional teaching methods, but may have an important role in reinforcing learning and aiding revision.

But here goes.
Being stuck in second gear - Ugly, ugly hockey these past two weeks. Several tragic losses to inferior teams, and only barely scraping out a win against the feel-good Jets.
It's not all the Canucks who are playing badly, just Roberto Luongo, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Kevin Bieksa, Mason Raymond and Alex Burrows among other.
Oh wait?
The Canucks are coasting (AGAIN) and unfortunately, there will be no consequences.
They could lose every remaining game and still win their division. That's not skill, that's luck.
Plus, our remaining schedule is full of cream puffs, so there's not exactly a lot of motivation to start playing well before the playoffs. And considering how STACKED the west is right now, the Canucks could easily be upset in round one if they don't find a way to step it up.Bruins Fans
Oh what's that I hear? Is that Bruins fans complaining that OTHER PLAYERS are roughing up their team? ARE YOU JOKING??
I have no sympathy.
This week's RANT
I hope every Bruin suffers a Crosby-like concussion or has their knee caps shattered with a hammer. Whoops, sorry let me just put this can of bitter down.
Seriously though, there was an outcry about Malkin's hit on Boychuck and the lack of suspension.
Sorry Bruins fans, you had it coming, and your lucky it was only Boychuck, and not one of your stars.GM's discussing the return of the red line
REALLY? We finally make hockey exciting again and suddenly you want to add back one of the old broken elements? Whooo good call whoever came up with that one! Morons. Seriously, there concern is correct.
Too many players are getting hurt coming through the neutral zone.
But you can prevent that BY ACTUALLY GROWING SOME BALLS AND HAVING THE LEAGUE SUSPEND PLAYERS PROPERLY!
Don't slow the game down, punish the players who aren't letting up on their headshots.
Fans whining, the Canucks coasting, injuries continuing and the league ignoring the big problems while heading for a second lockout in six years
Combining the first three points and thinking about what might (knock on wood) be happening next year is making me not like hockey at the moment. It's not fun to watch. It's not fun to hear about.
There's too much drama and focus on the negatives, and not enough attention on great stories like the Blues, Predators and Jets.
Hockey has a recipe to become a much better, more popular sport, and instead all the parties are throwing the ingredients at the wall and screaming like a bunch of idiots.
Wake me up when its round two.CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE CANUCKS BLOG IN THE CLUBHOUSE TODAY!
