I think I've probably had 2-3 sips of coffee in my whole life.... nasty. As for tea, maybe two cups in 35 years. Can't stand that either.

SDS has posted clips of his daughter's team a couple of times before. It seems to me that they have an incredible coaching staff that is teaching them to think about the game the way the pros do--even if the skills aren't quite there yet.
By the way, that video initially confused me; I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't shoot! Then I noticed the people sitting in the goal, and then I noticed the other goals.
Yeah, I've seen some of those before. Quite impressive. I wish we had similar coaches available for my kids. My daughter's team has really come around. They lost their first 5 games by a combined score of 35-1, but have won their last 4 straight, by a combined score of 21-4. Something has clicked and they're getting it.
My son's team has only lost one game all year, and it was really close, but their team is a straight up tire fire. They should easily win every game by 5 or 6 goals, but they can't/refuse to play as a team so they win 3-1 instead. Instead of trying to change that mentality, the coach just rolls with it since they're winning.

A short clip of my 10 year old, soon to be 11, daughter. She is the one who makes the overlapping run down the near sideline. What amazing ball movement for 10 year old girls. It's ashamed our forward didn't check-in to finish/continue the play.
That's insane. My daughter is playing U10 at the moment and is miles behind something like that. Hell, I wish my son's U14 team could move the ball that way. Instead, the coaches have them give the ball to the two highly skilled players on the team and watch them try to dribble through 4-5 defenders. It's infuriating. Luckily one of the two is suspended for their next match for yellow card accumulation.
I don't have any real "experience" in soccer, but I'm a fan of the game and coached hockey for a number of years so there's some things I understand, and a lot of learned in a short period of time. I've befriended a few of the non-English speaking Mexican dads on the team (some played pro in Mexico) and we just complain about the coaching (or lack there of).

Taking the kids out as a skater, Philipp Lahm, a mummy, Darth Vader, and a bee. The mrs. and I will be dressed as two people with lots of kids.

Happy Birthday to CSB, a stalwart regular poster.
And to waldo, who had his moments, but has seemed to have disappeared for good some time ago.
Thanks! 35 years young!

I'm allergic to cats. Gotta get out of this thread ASAP.

I'm bearded as well. I'll try to get a pic up later today.

Wouldn't he have been tested and found guilty during the 2006 Olympics?
I don't know that much about it, just that the incident with him getting kicked out of practice was late in the season. His behavior was erratic throughout the season, but it came to head, he was kicked out of practice, had a big falling out in the press with Torts, tanked in the playoffs, and was not re-signed.

Hmm, based on the clues I have a pretty good guess who this "certain Lightning goaltender" is :ph34r:
This happened during the 05-06 season. I moved to Tampa in May '06, after they were bounced from the playoffs, and this guy was signed by the Hurricanes before the 06-07 season. He and Torts had a big falling out in the press. Although Torts never publicly spoke of his party animal ways, that was a big issue.
-
When I lived in Tampa we played at the Lightning practice facility and heard all kinds of stories about a certain Lightning goaltender that'd show up for practice completely wasted. One morning at practice, after a supposed all night coke binge, Torts kicked him off the ice and sent him home. One of my teammates, who worked at the rink, was there when it all went down.

BTW: I'm not sure, but it may have been Labatt who coined one of the greatest phrases in SabreSpace history.
The phrase described the soft group of forwards comprising the Sabres' "core" post-Black Sunday, and captured beautifully the disgust many here felt for them.
It was 3 words, the first two of which were hyphenated (or should've been, anyway), and the 3rd of which was a name.
Anyone got it?
Sausage-grabbing Marys?

Every summer we have a company outing and the 12 or so of us do something "fun, yet challenging." This year we split into two teams and did this, trying to see who could escape their room quicker. We had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it for group outings.

Last night, while putting him to bed, my 6 year old son told me he wants to be a scientist when he grows up so he can "make medicine to help sick people, you know, like the guy that made the vaccine to stop small pox, you know which came from cowpox, right?" When I was in first grade I don't think I even knew about smallpox.

That would essentially guarantee a marketing partnership with Excalibur wouldn't it?
It probably already has one in place... the new arena is co-owned by MGM Resorts, which owns Excalibur.

The juxtaposition here is hilarious :lol:
I figured wether you like him or hate him he won't go away.

Ok. I never have had liverwurst. In fact, I'm not sure I ever have seen it. What does it taste like?
I remember having it with my grandfather as a kid... I didn't like it too much. That and head cheese. That man ate head cheese by the pound.

Regular sardines are good, but brisling are awesome. They're good out of the can or in lieu of dressing on a salad, but this recipe rocks.

I'll have to try the brisling sardines. I haven't been too crazy about the other sardines I've tried in the past.
Lately I've been hooked on the smoked kippers (herring). I get the Polar brand at Wal-Mart for around $1.25/can. I just drain them, toss on some hot sauce and that's a cheap lunch. I probably have it 2-3 times per week.

I'm still waiting on my pistol permit (Tompkins county....Yay...). I spec'd out one or two guns that I really want (based on handling a friends). I loved the Beretta he had (and the model has slipped my mind at the moment, but it's written down at home), and the Sig he has. I didn't mind shooting his glock, but it wasn't a first choice of mine.
I rented a Glock 17 at the range last year, and wasn't impressed. Stopped by a new gun shop/range near my office yesterday and spent a good 30 minutes chatting with one of the managers. He invited me to bring my wife in one day and basically try 7 or 8 different pistols on the range, to see what fits best for both of us. She has little to no experience with guns, but is eager to learn.

You have some of the worst food opinions in the world (fries, Chef's, Mighty...) but I'm with you here. Sweet Baby Ray's gets a giant "meh" from me.
I used to like it, but now I just make my own. Don't follow any recipes, just use what's on hand. I like mine with a good bit of cider vinegar and a little heat up front, but also try to have some sweet notes in there. Honey, root beer, Dr. Pepper, molasses... whatever I feel like throwing in there to sweeten it up a bit, but not too much.

The PPX is nice. It's a pleasure to shoot. I've seriously considered buying it a few times. The trigger is very light however and there are zero safeties on the weapon, I mean none! Not even the safe action trigger that glock has. Check out this review, it's pretty much dead on to my experience with the PPX. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/06/joe-grine/gun-review-walther-ppx/
Do you currently own a pistol, have you owned or will this be your first?
I have a good amount of experience, but this will be my first pistol (have a shotgun, couple of rifles). When I lived with a good friend of mine, we went to the range all the time. He's a collector and his older brother is in law enforcement, so it was like a gun show every time they were together. I was able to try a lot of different things, and learned a lot being around them.
The lack of safeties on the PPX is the one thing that has kept me from buying one up to now. My wife has zero experience, and my older stepsons enjoy going to the range, but are learning with handguns (both are great with rifes).
Any recommendation for a good, easy-to-use 9 mm for beginners?
Things that are AWESOME...

My oldest stepson (he's 14), won his weight class at the county wrestling tournament on Saturday. My wife made him start wrestling in May and he was totally against it. It was either that or military school, as we had just had enough. He started training with a local club during the summer and went undefeated this Middle School season, 11-0, winning every match but one by pin. He's only lost one match, and that was his first ever match in an AAU tournament, but he's never been pinned. He ran right through his bracket in the tournament and we couldn't be prouder of him. It's also helped turn his grades around, going from D's to B's, and far fewer behavior problems.
