Good post here Liger. People love tossing out "mental illness" when these atrocities occur having never given it more than a passing thought.

It's been like this ever since Columbine. The best solution the "wise adults" can come up with is sticking one semi-retired cop with a hand gun in every school. The only reason we haven't figured out how to prevent these atrocities is because the people with the power to do anything are either too stupid, too cowardly, or too paid-for. We can stop kids from getting murdered in their classrooms. It's just that no one really wants to try.

What I saw of the women's game last night looked very good. Fast and physical. They could have allowed checking in that matchup and I wouldn't have been terrified someone was going to get murdered. I was very entertained, which says something for the talent level of the marquis matchup that is USA vs Canada. I hope the game keeps growing so that it becomes more entertaining for the average person when teams other than the best of US and Canada are playing. I like watching college and the pro leagues because I enjoy the game in the pure form without checking, but I know that isn't for everyone. We need the pro leagues to survive if we ever want things to be more fun to watch. Give the women more opportunity to extend their playing careers and the entertainment value will go up over time.

Yup. A friend's husband was a nurse, got addicted to oxy and started doing heroin. Wrecked his whole life, marriage, etc. Prescription painkillers are an epidemic. The docs have prescribed Josie oxy on a couple occasions in the last few years and although she took one or two for the initial bouts of pain she essentially refused to keep taking it for fear of becoming dependent. I've never been prescribed any of these big drugs and I hope I never have a reason to be.

Listen, sometimes children just have to die in cold blood. It's what George Washington would have wanted.

Kinda sucks for the current fans though. They Canes brand is pretty well established.

:(

Good tips. I like trying to figure out the techniques.

Finally getting some slalom. Giant slalom that is.

I admit, it makes me wanna do curling again. Just haven't had much time this year when the opportunity has knocked.

This is what I've come to notice too. In the areas around Buffalo where I want to buy I can't rely on current listings to gauge prices and availability or else I'd get discouraged. Looking at the "Sold in the last year" results is what works best because houses here often sell before they ever hit Zillow, Redfin, etc.

bump?

My work computer died on the 2nd and it turned into this big fiasco, but I had known this might happen so I had all of my CAD files and important stuff backed up on our server and a flash drive. I was able to get the old computer running but it wasn't quite right so we bought me a new computer and everything is zen. But it finally set off alarm bells with the higher ups that maybe it was time we upgraded how we do things here at our company. One of my major points of emphasis is that my boss doesn't have his PC backed up anywhere and it is getting long in the tooth. If it dies we could lose a lot of inventor files and whatnot. Today that has happened. And now I get to try to fix it. None of this would be an issue if anyone here had bothered to heed my warnings for the last two years that we were living on borrowed time with the way we are doing IT and data management. :rolleyes:

Don't worry, you guys are insufferable too.

How'd Gionta look?

Woof.

For sure.

Does this set #themarket ?

Does Casey Nelson honestly look good?

Meth

Wow.

Tastes like 8am calc in college.

Someone on Twitter says it's about Phaneuf's bonuses making it harder to buy him out. Gaborik would be cheaper to buy out.

I'll be honest, I don't get the point of this trade.

Slalom delayed until FRIDAY. ugh.
