text: Nice article over on Associated Baptist Press on the rate of growth in the SBC. here is the link: http://www.abpnews.com/abpnews/story.cfm?newsId=4307 ( have never figured out how to do the blue clickie, so you will have to copy and paste in your browser) For those of you that dont trust anything said by ABP, Paige Patterson is quoted often and and supports his side of the story very well. It is to bad that moderates are not treated nearly as well on BP - but I digress. The SBC has grown - unlike other mainline demoninations, but not nearly as fast as it was growing 25 years ago.

Is this the end of the Flames' enforcer era?
Taylor McKee
October 14 2016 02:00PM
It happened so quickly, and yet with the Flames so slowly, that it is possible you may have missed it. With Brandon Bollig clearing waivers last Tuesday, it is possible that the last pure enforcer has played for the Calgary Flames.
To start this season, the Flames have decided that, at best, their lineup would have players who could punch faces if need be and not as their modus operandi. Big deal right? Well, to many who have grown up watching the Flames, or most NHL franchises for that matter, this is a departure from essential NHL roster construction and a direct path to how some fell in love with the game itself. Let's talk about this after the jump.
Looking back, it seems that almost every Flames team in the franchise's history has had one of these players. In fact, I'm pretty sure most Flames fans remember which one was playing when they first started following the team. Each team had a guy who was there to "protect the skill guys" or "act as a deterrent" or "police the ice" or "make space for his teammates" or whichever half-cooked hockey maxim explained their purpose.
The first one I remember watching, and vigorously cheering for, was Sandy McCarthy. I remember a game when I was about seven where McCarthy threw his elbow pad into the crowd following a fight and I thought that he was just about the coolest guy in the whole world.
To my brain, it seemed totally logical: the Flames were better with Sandy in the lineup because he could beat people up and no one wants to get beat up. Like many others I assume, I grew up with an unambiguous view of enforcers on the Flames. We need a couple because other teams had them too and that was just.
What kind of game is this, in which finesse yields so blithely to a menacing fist? - Lawrence Scanlan, Grace Under Fire, 2002.
I know many Flames fans have different players in mind when thinking of their first enforcers, but if this season is your first season as a Flames fan, who would play that role? There is no Tim Hunter, Brian McGrattan, or Eric Godard among them.
In no way am I suggesting that the Flames won't be fighting anymore. In fact, they might fight more than most other teams given the proclivities of Micheal Ferland, Deryk Engelland, and Lance Bouma. Also, Bollig may find his way back to the Flames roster at some point this season as well, given that the organization has placed faith in him up to this point.
However, the symbolism attached to placing Bollig on waivers struck me as significant because the Flames were stating that they felt he, given all of his physical prowess and locker room charisma, was not needed to start this season. The question is, will new fans of the game even understand rationalizations for enforcers, or is it simply too anachronistic to survive on any NHL roster?
All info is taken from HockeyFights.com/stats which is a great resource with amazing archives.
I understand that I am not exactly breaking news by demonstrating that fighting is on the decline in the NHL, but I believe that jettisoning the final designated enforcer on a team is still an important gesture. The Flames have consistently been in the bottom half of the NHL in total fights for the past few seasons but last season no one fought as much as Bollig (who has 14 fights in his past two regular seasons compared to Engelland's nine and Ferland's five ).
The pure numbers of fights isn't as important as the designation given to the player performing the ritualized act of performed masculinity. You may quibble about his skill-set, but essentially Bollig's entire on-ice purpose was directly related to his ability to punch faces if he needed to. Rather than a complimentary skill-set, it was his entire basis for play.
In Roy MacGregor's The Last Season, the novel's enforcer-protagonist Felix Batterinski realized upon sober reflection that: "I'd never been this close to my fans before, never seen what they looked like. Never cared. But I saw now, and I knew finally that I was not Batterinski. They were." It's an important insight made by MacGregor that Jason Blake (not this one, the professor of English in Ljubljana) picks up on explaining that, "Batterinski fights not solely out of self-will ... but because the crowd wants it. Even [Batterinski's] violence is not really his own; he is a puppet soldier reacting to the fans' whims."
Well, I know my "whims" have evolved a great deal from when I first started watching Sandy McCarthy battling hulking opponents during dreary young guns-era Flames hockey. I am sure you all have other memories from the more distant past or more recent Flames history but this may be one of the first seasons without a Batterinski on the roster. Whether or not the story ends with Bollig remains to be seen but with fewer and fewer fights each season, it certainly feels like the Flames are closing the book.

I loved McCarthy.. he had no cartilage in his Nose so he could take the face shots no problem lol.
I think like anything in the league, the "Enforcers" will just evolve into "Skilled Enforcers". Ferland is as tough as they come, but he has some skill too. It's still a contact sport, if you can have big, tough skilled guys you have an edge.
Krzysztof Oliwa is the guy that comes to mind for me, mostly because of me becoming a fan during the 04 run.
The enforcer Era is done..except for Edmonton. They're loading up. Doh!
Poor Keegan Kanzig and Hunter Smith just a couple years too late, man I wish we could have those two Top. 90 picks back. I hope spontaneous fighting stays as I think it makes the sport unique, but it's long overdue that we phased out enforcers. Someday I'll be able to tell my kids that NHL teams used to waste 2-4 round Draft picks on fighters, they likely won't believe me. Give me a bottom six filled with Andrew Mangiapanes all day.
You can take the dog outa the fight, but you can't take the fight outa the dog.
Don't ask me what I mean by that. I have no idea.
Rough stuff will always be part of the game, especially when the stakes are high. But I agree that "functional toughness," or whatever other term is used for it, is a much better path the game should go down rather than having enforcers. We're here to see skilled hockey, not skating tanks who can't contribute in any other meaningful way. I think one of the Flames' greats, Jarome Iginla, was a great example of this. He was our lead scorer and captain, but also kind of our enforcer because, well, he was a badass.
Sports teams are copy-cats, so I warn that just because it is exiting now, doesn't necessarily mean it is gone forever.
Going way back when the NHL was definitely tougher, and there was more dirty stuff and more fighting, the Flyers amped things up further by building a team strategically of super-skilled but super-tough and super-dirty players (emulated and exaggerated by the Charlestown Chiefs in the movie Slap Shot).
Well, it forced teams to try to do the same until the Habs' dynasty just made everyone look ridiculous. Then things settled down once again.
There is great entertainment value in fighting, as much as there is in watching great hockey. I mean who wasn't holding their breath when Engelland had to drop them with Lucic?
I personally hope it never goes away.
October 14 2016, 05:56PM
Hold it right there....don't forget Mr. Willie Plett...;).
October 14 2016, 06:27PM
Yes, this is it.
Lots of terrific heavyweight fighters have rolled through the Flames, but of them Tim Hunter was the all-time best.
As for the NHL, Bob Probert in his early prime was the most terrifying thing on the planet.
Among skill players who could fight, the title has to be Lindros, though Cam Neely was a legitimate heavyweight as well.
I'm completely over staged fights so good riddance, but some of my favourites were: 1. Eric Goddard 2. Rocky Thompson (the dude could barely lace his skates) 3. Tim Hunter 4. Big Ern
The pure enforcer does seem to be less viable than ever, but perhaps we're just saying that because we're used to Bollig, who isn't a particularly effective enforcer. He doesn't seem to send messages, when deserved, quite as reliably as, for example, McGrattan did. He also takes more undisciplined penalties. If the Flames had such a beast as McGrattan in his prime, would the Flames still play him?
I suspect the answer would be no. This lineup has several functional hockey players who can also drop the gloves. A functional tough guy on the ice when stuff happens is worth more than a great enforcer sitting on the bench. Being stapled to the bench makes it hard to be in the right place at the right time.
Then there's Tkachuk... This season, he may very well be a guy who needs protecting because other teams are going to target him. Granted, he's probably going to deserve being targeted, but he's still just eighteen. Is he ready to drop the gloves with a veteran NHL enforcer yet? Troy Brouwer isn't exactly a master of dropping the gloves, but I like his chances against a seasoned goon a lot better than Tkachuk's, at least for now. This is one more reason why Brouwer is a good guy to have riding caboose on Tkachuk's hate train.
Krzysztof Oliwa is the guy that comes to mind for me, mostly because of me becoming a fan during the 04 run.
Two things I remember about Krys and both of them I saw from less than 50 feet away.
Him throwing $100 bills at strippers for about an hour out of a roll that must of been $20 grand and him...
getting ended by a Smackintyre truck!
Zack Kassian took a run at Gaudreau in the opening few minutes of last nights game that would have been the end of "little Johnny Hockey's" career. Just missed him. Ran at him for more than 1/2 the width of the ice. Had him lined up to do only one thing...
No one on the Flames did anything.
Patrick Maroon has a hall pass to do whatever he wants to whomever... whenever. No push back whatever.
The Flames enforcer era ended when Steve McIntyre destroyed their tough guy during Eberles rookie season

Well, Pricentile right now is bog standard price comparison. I thought it would be useful to add a "site quality" angle. So, we're going to make a few orders from each of the sites we list, and check how the process goes (and maybe test customer service, etc.) and put the reviews on Pricentile. It's hard to find unbiased site reviews on the web, and I've seen a lot of forum questions along the lines of "can I trust StrawberryNet?".
The problem is if we list hundreds of sites, we have hundreds of orders. And the stuff has to go somewhere. My wife and friends will definitely get a few bottles, but I'm suggesting SF members could make some of the orders on our tab, and keep the bottles.
Now is a good time to suggest sites we don't list to be added :P
That sounds promising. I have this on my trial list. Is your review for the current (2012+) or original (pre P&G) edition?
This one: http://theperfumedcourt.com/products/yohji-yamamoto-yohji-homme__yohjiyamamotoyohjihommepg.aspx - no details on the year.
It got a bit sourer with time, maybe the gourmand notes surfacing as lavender slowly evaporates. Still, it's the kind of understated fragrance that works with you as opposed to on you.
Diaghilev is still there, in its spicy drydown, but with a bit more cooked fruit.
"Designed by Tom Ford M7 is a heavy, rich, intensive and masculine fragrance, dominated by dark, warm and dry precious woody notes with an accord of raw materials and a heavy, natural, earth-like note originating from vetiver. The formula of this perfume encompasses assorted trees and raw, odorous plants. The composition begins with elegant citrus notes of Italian bergamot, Sicilian mandarin and rosemary from Southern France. The warm heart contains one of the most expensive components—Agarwood, followed by vetiver. The perfume closes with a soft ambergris trail and musky notes." Fragrantica

Testing out vintage Equipage today.
It's not mixing super well with a new "body cream" I'm trying out as an aftershave, something in a purple bottle I picked up at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo called "Harnn Oriental Herbs" which is mostly hesperides but not as pleasant and fresh as l'Occitane Citrus Verbena or whatever it's called. I should have stuck to l'Occitane.

I walked past a shop in Sheung Wan this morning and was hit by a giant of a vetiver smell, like a wall of a pure, strong Carven Vetiver-like scent. Bent down to smell the red-brown root packs at the dried goods shop on my left (looked like vetiver roots on Google Images) but all I could smell is dried hay. Mystery.
Perhaps it was lemon grass?

As a newly hired employee -- with the company less than 3 months -- I have been incredibly impressed with the caliber of current employees and their willingness to assist with onboarding a new team member. The company is focused on making meaningful changes for customers and shareholders.
The organization is more complex than anticipated, due in part to global and North America infrastructure.
Advice to Management
Do your best to balance the needs of the employees with the continued focus on customer and shareholder value.

The Apprentice program offers a unique view of a large commercial insurance company. The program provides exposures to several different areas within the company that a person may not otherwise have. People that complete the program receive an Associate degree from Harper College that is paid for by Zurich, all while learning different jobs hands on . Zurich itself values its employees and has great benefits including a pension plan
There are a lot of different departments and areas, without some guidance it may be difficult to understand the complexity of such a large company
I worked at Zurich North America full-time (More than 8 years)
Great values, seemed pretty sincere and transparent with employees. Great pay and benefits. Lots of women in line & dept. management positions. Loved this job for 5 of the 9 years I was there.
Senior Exec P&C management was essentially all let go in 2015, after 3rd quarter UW results. They had announced a commercial P&C growth mode after a couple years of expense reduction and layoffs (like many companies in that economy), but failed to manage the growth properly. Execs from Life division were brought in to manage P&C until they got things worked out. Resulted in about 20% US layoff 2015-2016, including some exceptionally good people.
Advice to Management
Hindsight, but make sure you have the right steps in place to manage growth initiatives before you're 3 quarters into the year and it impacts so many people who didn't have direct underwriting responsibilities for putting bad business on the books

With four active kids, it seems as if dirt is just naturally attracted to their clothes. Especially, one little girl, who I think just rolls in the mud some days for the fun of it. Of course, when I hear there is new technology in stain fightin', I'm all ears.
I'm sure my mom said the same of me when I was growing up. Actually, I'm positive she said this about me. In fact, I remember a pair of really nice jeans my grandma bought me from the local Bee's Boutique, which was a nice children' shop in my town. I did a number on the knees of those jeans with grass stains.
Now, watch this retro Wisk commercial. I'm not sure exactly what era this was but I remember the phrase "Ring Around the Collar." Who wears white collar shirts nowadays, anyway!
As with everything, stain fighting has evolved. Wisk is introducing a new enhanced Stain Spectrum Technology, which will bring science to stain-fighting. This new technology will help you tackle a full range of stains ranging from oils to proteins. Sounds great, right?
Watch this present day video to get pumped up about the new Wisk product!
There are too many stains to list but most will fall into three major groups:
- Carbohydrates – example: milk chocolate
- Proteins – example: grass (as I told you about my stains above!)
- Oils – example: peanut butter
Other groups include:
- Bio – example: blood
- Bleachable – example: coffee
- Particulate – example: dirt
- Synthetic – example: ink
With its new stain fighting technology, the new Wisk (in the red bottle) will tackle all of them! Be sure to follow Wisk on Facebook to keep up with the latest promotions.
You can also learn more and download a money saving coupon at Wisk.com. A 32 load bottle will cost around $5.99 retail price. So you should be able to get a deal with a sale and the printable coupon!
What kind of stains do you have most of in your household?
My friend Andrea would probably guess blood is the most often stain I encounter. We visited her home a couple of weeks ago and I think the kids really put a dent into her band-aid stockpile!
This is a sponsored blog post by In-Store only Christmas Price Guarantee on behalf of Wisk. Read my full Disclosure Policy.

What Is Everybodies Favourite Death Metal Album And Why?Mine is Individual thought patterns by Death. it has an empowering feel, incredibly melodic solos, ultimately driven riffs, tasty note progressions... and that early 90's feel, when metal was at its best.

On recent models like the 328 3 Series, BMW switched from the use of spark plug wires to individual coil packs that install on each cylinder's spark plug. This is an efficient and reliable way of delivering spark to the engine. Like any other mechanical component, coils can fail over time and lead to rough running and loss of power, particularly at higher RPMs. Testing a coil is possible with an ohmmeter, which tests the amount of ohms that the coil is producing.

Open the bonnet. Remove the cabin microfilter cover by turning the three knobs that hold it on 90 degrees. Lift the cover out and set it aside. Remove the cabin microfilter and disconnect the wiring harness from the filter housing. Remove the four T30 screws that hold the filter enclosure in place. Set the enclosure aside.
- 2
Pry the small, round plastic plugs from the top engine cover and that conceal the screws for the engine cover. Remove the 10-mm nuts that hold the engine cover on with a socket. Set the engine cover aside.
- 3
Unscrew the oil cap on the lower engine cover. Pry out the plastic covers. Remove the 10-mm nuts with a socket. Set the cover aside.
- 4
Locate the coils. These are in a row down the engine and are bolted to the tops of the spark plugs. They each have a wiring harness going to them. Remove the two small bolts that hold the coils onto the spark plugs. You can then pull the coil up and off of the spark plug.
- 5
Examine the end of the coil where it fastens to the spark plug. There will be three contacts. The outside two are the primary contacts. Using an electric ohmmeter, test the contacts. Place the ends of the ohmmeter testing cables on the contacts to see how many ohms the coils are producing on the readout. According to BMW, the acceptable range is 0.4 to 0.8 ohms.
- 6
Replace the coil if the ohm reading is not within the acceptable range. It is recommended to change all of the coils at the same time, since one failing may be a sign that the others may be failing soon as well.
- 7
Reinstall the coils by sliding them back over the spark plug. Reinstall the two small bolts with a socket. Reinstall the upper and lower engine covers. Reinstall the cabin filter enclosure, the cabin filter and the lid for the enclosure.

Christie's: Jewels for Hope
Sold out for Christie's Lily Safra's jewelry collection auction yesterday in Geneva
We got into a classic black cab, the big English ones with curved lines and headed for St. James, the heart of the city and home to the historic auction house, Christie's. They were not showing the usual contemporary works of art, but another form of art that generates just as much of a desire for collection- the jewels from Lily Safra's collection were auctioned off for a total of 37.9 million dollars and completely sold out.
The process is fascinating- craftsmanship becomes art and collecting generates culture and hope. The entire amount of the proceeds was to benefit twenty charitable organizations that were chosen by the Lily Safra Foundation. But an additional twelve organizations were added after seeing the exceptional results of the sales of one hundred percent of the lots.
It was an event that made history and reaffirmed jewelry as an art form through a collection that spanned a period of over 100 years of history and stories. Starting from the Belle Epoque- the years that ladies wore stately dresses with strong necklines that were covered in long necklaces. It would be difficult to find one in good condition, but Cartier's "Eglantine" Rosa Canina is the perfect piece with diamonds and dots of emerald.
From an exquisitely technical point of view, the uniqueness of this collection lies in the presence of three rings with three exceptionally pure stones- a ruby by Chaumet, a Burmese sapphire by Boucheron and a potentially flawless D colored diamond, tending towards pure white- all of which are over 30 carats.
When Edmund Safra bought the Contessa di Boisrouvray's large ruby in an auction in the 1980s, it broke records, just as today, as it sold for 6.7 million dollars. If you look through the eyes of the heart, each important collection reflects the soul of those that drive it. In this case, it is the passion of the couple.
Edmund and Lily Safra, philanthropists of Brazilian and Lebanese descent had divided their lives between Geneva, New York and the Riviera until Edmund's tragic and mysterious death during a fire. His bodyguard was imprisoned for it. The collaboration between the two was very successful. Edmund Safra bought the best stones that were reminiscent of the legendary mines of Golconda in India and had a transparency similar to water, and Lily Safra collaborated with the most genial of designers- Jar.
In London, my friend delicately held a large ruby brooch in the shape of a Camellia that was made by the French artist who was famous for his pavè and has made history in the last thirty years. His works are surrounded in an air of mystery protected by Jar's confidential nature. In fact, his store in Paris is known only to a few.
Cult-like objects that are usually re-sold for a price that is higher than the purchase, Jar's jewels were collected for a show at the Somerset House in London in 2002. On the back of the catalog, there is a photo of a tourmaline brooch that auctioned for 1.2 million dollars.
It is a historic design piece with two flowers that wrap around a diamond drop. A collector that is in love with the art knows how difficult it is to separate itself from it and maybe this rendered the sea of admirers at the end of the auction a venial sin; A standing ovation for Lily Safra.

Guggisberg D, Hadj-Rabia S, Viney C, et al. Skin markers of occult spinal dysraphism in children: a review of 54 cases. Arch Dermatol. 2004;140(9):1109-1115.
"Marker" skin lesions on the posterior midline are evident in approximately 80% of individuals with occult spinal dysraphism.1 In a retrospective study of 54 children with congenital midline lumbosacral skin lesions, Guggisberg and colleagues found that 61% (11 of 18) of patients with 2 or more types of cutaneous findings in this location had occult spinal dysraphism compared with 8% (3 of 36) of those with a single skin finding (P < .001). Although small numbers of patients precluded risk assessment for specific types of isolated lumbosacral skin lesions, the authors concluded that certain solitary lesions (eg, a lipoma or a dermal sinus) were "high risk." More recently, a prospective study showed an approximately 35% risk of spinal anomalies in patients with an isolated lumbosacral infantile hemangioma larger than 2.5 cm in diameter,2 adding this to the high-risk category. Both Guggisberg and coauthors and Drolet et al2 emphasized the need for spinal magnetic resonance imaging in individuals with multiple or high-risk isolated lumbosacral skin lesions, noting only approximately 50% sensitivity for spinal ultrasonography (even if performed at <4-6 months of age).

To paraphrase a line spoken by Meryl Streep in her new movie It's Complicated, it turns out she's a bit of a slut. Jane Adler (Streep) has been divorced from her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin) for ten years when she shocks herself by becoming embroiled in a torrid affair with a married man: Jake.
Jake got remarried to his mistress, but now finds himself frustrated in his marriage to this younger woman and longing for Jane instead. They begin sleeping together when they meet in Manhattan for their son's college graduation. But just as it looks like Jane and Jake might end their secret affair and officially become a couple again, enter Jane's architect Adam (Steve Martin), a nice guy divorcee. Will Jane and Jake end up together again? Or will she go with Adam instead? Either way, someone will get hurt.
With a repertoire that includes Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, What Women Want and I Love Trouble, writer-director Nancy Meyers has amassed a filmography composed of generically titled romantic comedies featuring big name stars and easy-to-digest concepts. In other words, she makes perfectly generic and harmless fluff with lead performances that make her movies passable entertainment for couples. This goes for It's Complicated as well, but this film has the benefit of starring the greatest actress of her generation who, at 60, is also enjoying the biggest commercial hot streak of her long, illustrious career.
