Offsides should only be reviewed at full speed. If you can't determine if it's offsides at full speed then it's too close to call.

I predict outrage now and quick acceptance in the future…

Yeah the cross check and the offsides on the goal were awesome…

You probably don't have the population density for it to matter locally to you. But here in Maryland where they put up new communities and put them on well water it is a really, really big issue. -

Depends where you get your water from. Rivers and reservoirs are readily replaced unless there is drought. Pumping water from a deep well is much more problematic. That water could have been there for 1000s of years. If too many people hammer that source of water - it ain't coming back until the end humanity. http://www.scienceworld.ca/blog/how-long-does-water-cycle-really-take -

off topic What I do to reduce my environmental footprint...
SDS replied to SDS's topic in The Aud Club
So, here in Maryland, in particular Howard county, I can throw all of my recycling into one ginormous blue bin that's the size of a very large trash can. In fact it is bigger than my trash cans. I don't need to separate anything and from what I can tell they take most items that other recycling centers do not. That makes it pretty mindless to recycle as much as we can. We even have weekly lawn and landscaping clippings pick up. They mulch that stuff up and make a really nice compost soil that residents can buy back. -
I'll probably make another thread at some point making the same observation, but I love GMTM. I could listen to him talk all day. For me, he's by far the most interesting sports personality to listen to. For a person who doesn't actually play, he adds to my entertainment substantially - and not in the Rex Ryan circus way. Thank you Patty. I love that he is our GM right now.

off topic What I do to reduce my environmental footprint...
SDS replied to SDS's topic in The Aud Club
My bags are always in the trunk of my car. When I'm done unloading in the house, I hang the empty ones on the door knob. I eventually take them out. The problem is I shop mainly at Giant by my house and they have no such reminders. :( -

This is my exact set: http://www.amazon.com/TOAKS-Titanium-3-Piece-Cutlery-Set/dp/B0098FEUXQ very happy with them. I don't always remember the grocery bags either. Wegman's by us has great big signs in the parking lot asking if you remembered them. So simple. I get the battery thing if you don't have kids... But if you do. Holy crap. So many alkaline are thrown away when they have plenty of charge in them to run clocks, etc... I have a tester too that I used before I invested in the Eneloops. That's pretty brisk. We set it to 65 deg during the day while we work and then 68 in when we come home. If you're cold - that's what sweatshirts are for. -
So, as my life marches forward and I think about my kids and what world they will have to adapt to when eventually the oil runs out, the oceans are overflowing with plastic, etc... I try to do things that are probably more symbolic on the individual level, but perhaps be meaningful if adopted culturally. I would like to hear what anyone else does. 1. I own a version of these: https://www.rei.com/product/782238/sea-to-summit-alpha-utensil-set?cm_mmc=cse_PLA_GOOG-_-7822380015&CAWELAID=120217890000780412&lsft=cm_mmc:cse_PLA_GOOG and carry them with me on my water jug at work. I nether buy water/drinks at the cafeteria, nor do I use plastic utensils. This has saved 1000's of pieces of plasticware from hitting the landfills. Bringing my own water jug keeps me from paying for water and using the plastic. 2. I carpool to soccer games whenever possible keeping another car off the road when we are all going to the same places. 3. I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries (they are incredible) and a high end charger that charges them slowly to maximize life. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK-3MCCA8BA-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00JHKSN5I Quite frankly, I would pass a law that every household own these instead of buying alkaline. 4. We recycle more material than we throw away. Our county has an awesome program, so that is easy for us. But our recycle bins fill faster than our garbage bins. 5. I refuse plastic bags whenever possible (and use reusable ones when grocery shopping). 6. AC is set to about 80 in the summer. Heat is at 68 in the winter. Programmable thermostat runs a weekly program. I would love to see a society that carries their own drinking cup and utensils. So much single use waste that is unnecessary. What do you do?

I'm fine with that. Do you have something in mind? FWIW, when I have met anyone here on the board I know I have bought the beers, if not picked up entire evenings (my memory isn't all that great). Always have and always will.

Nothing has been changed on our end. Have you recently updated things on your end? This is absolutely not the place to have a casual conversation. Thank you.

I just finished watching the series from start to finish the past two months or so. I have really loved it and couldn't wait to finally jump into this thread, only to find this. Thank you for being "that guy". Everyone really needs that one person sucking the joy out of everything imaginable for everyone else... :thumbdown:

Technically, Edmonton would trade him, but more than likely he would become a UFA immediately after that. I think he exits Edmonton as soon as possible.

Sabres' Houses of Horrors, how are they perpetuated?
SDS replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
I think a basic course in statistics answers most of these questions.
