For me, it's part wariness of GMO being unhealthy, but also creating a crop mono-culture. If everyone is slowly being forced to use Montsano seeds*, if something comes along that wipes out that crop, either by weakness from the GMO makeup or chance, we're screwed. If everyone is using "natural" seeds with variations, some may be resistant to whatever blight comes along so there will be something left. The second part is I'd bet a bunch that GMOs aren't being modified for taste or health benefits, but only for longevity and pest resistance. Those are noble goals, I suppose, but putting a nation's health at risk to reduce spoilage isn't a trade off I'm willing to make. * From what I understand and someone above alluded to, Montsano is very aggressive in prosecuting farmers that do not buy Montsano seeds but their patented gene sequences shop up in the crops. That can happen in a number natual of ways like wind, shared machinery, etc., but Montsano sues anyway. For many farmers, the risk to being sued into bankruptcy is too much and they just buy from Montsano. So more and more of our food is controlled by one company, that's .

I suppose it helps that Rasmus is 15 lbs heavier too.

Like Armia. :ph34r:

Wasn't there talk of him going further up like 3-5 pre-draft?

I think you're over-estimating the acceptance of that word, although the massive distaste for it might intersect with the people that will never vote for a Democrat anyway so it might not be an issue.

The second paragraph hits it on the head. Free streaming means TV providers have less incentive to carry the channels.

He's like that, but shouldn't cast stones.

That's essentially the Howard Dean playbook, until the media drilled that unfortunate video clip into our heads for a week between primaries.

I don't think the US in general is ready to elect someone who will undoubtedly be labelled "Socailist" and "Communist". Socailist isn't without cause, but socialist doesn't have to be the bad word people think it is. And I like Sanders, a lot of his views line up with mine. With the current field of Republicans, I'd say he has a shot because they're for the most part way out there, but I'm not sure I risk the election when a "safer" Democrat would be more likely to win. In hockey terms, do you put your good line out against their OK line because they should do well, or do you put your great line out with the expectation that they'll score?

Sacre bleu! Will we have to start labelling everything in French, too?

Cold lowers the body's resistance to getting sick, I think, but doesn't matter unless you're exposed to something while you're cold. Rain makes you colder at a given air temperature than not since water drains heat away better than air.

Arizona is last year's Sabres, they went fire-sale at the trade deadline and are stockpiling picks. Buffalo and Edmonton are on the next stage, having collected the Tank badge.

I thought it was a watchme of toddlers.

Ugh, Howl is the better of the first two but the Devils pinched that one. I don't really get Yeah Yeah Yeah as a goal song, but it's not terrible. Maybe they'll re-write it "Hear us shout, the Sabres score again!" and SDS can feel safe in his masculinity. :)

I'm just working off this post. I'm not sure if that was a temporary thing for a day or if Bylsma uses ?-Larssssssson-Reinhart going forward. Looking at those names, Girgensons is missing, but I'd think you shift Foligno over to 4LW, maybe Larsson over to 3LW, Girgensons as 3C, Reinhart as 3RW, and Legwand to 4C. I think 4RW is still open with those moves, but whatever. To clarify, keep the top-6, then: Larsson - Girgensons - Reinhart Foligno - Legwand - ? (or if Foligno is skating RW, Deslauriers - Legwand - Foligno). Out of those lines, Ellis, Shaller, Akeson, and Rodrigues are out, which doesn't seem unlikely. Or maybe one stays to play 4RW and Foligno and Deslauries duke it out at 4LW. It's a nice problem to have.

2nd or 3rd line RW, perhaps, with Gionta taking the other spot? From the line-up above, it appears the Reinhart is skating on Larsssssson's RW today.

I just think it's a good song and fits the requirements of a goal song: catchy, non-offensive, and can be sung. I don't understand why you think "10000 men" won't sing it. is it the weird gay angle that's been talked about here? I can't figure out how that line of thought got started. That would be cool, although I'm not sure you'd get enough people to buy into it as an upbeat, 30-second clip.

People seem to miss this point. This isn't "the best song in the world" or something I want to listen to in my car, it's "what song will get the crowd singing" and make the other team sad. Yelling "hoo rah hoo rah hoo rah yeah!" at the top of my lungs is a winner.

I'd be surprised if the Sabres go completely off the reservation and build their own gamecenter or even partner with someone outside of gamecenter. Streaming is a bigger task than it sounds (or at least I assume it is, considering how the NHL has struggled with it and has contracted with MLBAM to do it this year). I think the safe play is they'll set up their own cable network like usual. Maybe they broadcast locally as well, but I'm not sure how that actually works in terms of licenses and whatnot. I'd be surprised if the NHL doesn't get a say in how it's league is broadcast, even to local fans. And all those NHL NBC cable deals are at least somewhat exclusive.

I think it's more about a risk-reward situation. Sure, we could probably solve the problem, but the cost of an "oops" is contaminating or possibly destroying the only other possible life in the universe we know of.

There's a great scene in the movie "Free Enterprise" with a teen yelling, "Mom, Mr. Spock: alien! Dr. Spock: baby guy".

I think that's always the plan, just getting that good/great guy in the first place is the hard part.

I got 99 problems, and a clear sky isn't one. Wait, I screwed that up; that is one of the problems.

I think he's railing at questionable employment practices. It your business model is "people are expected to work 60 hour weeks at 40 hour week pay", your business model is broken. Or you're just greedy. The only reason it works is there's a surplus of people that are capable of being a manager at a restaurant so if someone were to fight for a 40-hour work week they'd be fired. That economy used to work when labor wasn't treated as disposable. And there are companies that don't push their employees to work more than 40 hours. But there are more companies that look for profit over giving their workers a fair shake. Someone above talked about value, it'd be interesting to see if there's a correlation between happy workers and productivity. I think there are studies, but I'm not sure. One things for sure, most employees aren't going to out of their way to help if they feel like they're being abused.

I don't think Bogo has played yet, the Sabres are cycling through the raft of AHL D right now.
