The Dominator

What a team effort on that last goal. Ennis working past 2 defenders, getting the puck to the low post, setting up Risto. Man, that was poetry in motion!!!

Wow Ullmark

I've noticed this trend as well. Throw in Bogosian into the mix and watch out

Ahhh so close to his 3rd assist!

On the day Zadorov was sent down to the AHL, it's mind-boggling knowing what we gave up for someone that consistently dictates possession and tempo on the ice

Another one!

Good time for the period to end, Van was starting to generate good pressure and scoring chances

This made me laugh. Then I remembered that a 6 year old was killed, which led to remorse. If there's one great by-product of social media, it's leaving other humans accountable for their actions. Social media almost directly led to police officers wearing body cameras now, which provided footage of this boy's death which will surely leave those in the wrong accountable for their actions.

Something I've never understood was what I call the sheep mentality of some people. When some people hear "X stock is at an all time high after overachieving on their projected earnings" they think "Oh my God I have to have that stock they're the next best thing!" Where's the value in that? "Riding the wave" is something I've never understood. I actually wish I had money to invest a few years back. Hopefully I will have enough disposable income saved for the next scare so I can capitalize on it.

I would have to think they're at-will independent contractors, which gives Uber the most flexibility to hire/fire at any moment for any reason. Good question about the insurance, I have never thought about what the passenger and driver are/aren't covered for.

In this group of candidates? Yes. I like his ideas such as focusing on mental health in regards to gun violence, creating jobs and investing back into our country via infrastructure improvements and renovations, removing tax loopholes (granted it seems like every candidate makes this statement) and I admire his progressive vision he has shown in the past via supporting gay marriage and marching with MLKJ. I believe he is a leader and "fights the good fight" even if I don't agree with all of his stances.

While I won't go nearly as far as you, I agree with the notion of having to vote for Hillary if it's between her and Trump or Carson. She would be the lesser of two evils as I don't see Carson or Trump being fit to run this country, not by a long shot. It's funny, as someone who views them self as being politically in the center, my views don't align with Hillary as much as I would expect. I think it comes back to the dishonest vibes I get from her. I'll trust my gut. I'm considering joining the Democratic party just to try and help Bernie in the primaries. Considering that the Republicans I'm looking into don't have a chance, I might as well try and help out someone who does.

Sinister messed with me. Not so much scary as it is disturbing. I'm sure the second one coming out will be just as disturbing. Question, what kind of messed up person must you be to direct these movies? How does someone think of these ways to kill people?

This, I believe, is part of the reason multiple people on this site (including me) see Hillary as somewhat dishonest and maybe even untrustworthy. This, along with gay marriage, are two views that she has flip-flopped on and there may be more that I'm not aware of. Her explanation for flip-flopping is that as more information becomes available to her, she feels as though her position should change. Fair enough. How many times does someone have to change positions on topics such as this before they have a track record of taking poor positions? This is why I like Bernie. The oldest man in the race happens to also have the best track record of being progressive and forward-thinking (I use progressive in a non-political manner) while others flip-flop or wait until everyone else gets on board before adjusting their views (gay marriage, Confederate flag).

Wow that sounds incredible! I need to give those shots a try. Maybe I'll make them for Thanksgiving

Last night I went out in the Bavarian outfit, tonight is where's Waldo. Saturday is still TBD

Overall, last night's debate started off on the wrong foot from the moderator's side (Really? What's your greatest weakness?). They began asking about specifics from each candidate's tax plans which was good, except giving someone 60 seconds to explain an entire tax plan seems very unreasonable. Soon thereafter it turned into a cage match that I could have done without. I then turned it off as it became a reality show instead of an exchange of ideas and policies. From the hour and a half that I watched, I still am most impressed with Kasich and became interested in Rubio. I love Kasich begging to the voters to basically put every candidate's ideas through a BS detector before following them like sheep. A 10-15% flat tax won't work. Deporting 12 million people won't work. A 3 page tax plan won't work. Kasich's genuineness shone through on that stage which is in stark contrast to some of the candidates (my mind immediately goes to Fiorina and Cruz). Overall, how anyone can take Trump, Carson, or Fiorina seriously when there are candidates out there like Kasich and Rubio is beyond me. And this has nothing to do with their ideals and policies

Politifact has their fact-checking article out from the debate last night... Fiorina on women's job losses Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said women voters shouldn’t assume that just because Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is a woman that she has their interests at heart. "It is the height of hypocrisy for Mrs. Clinton to talk about being the first woman president, when every single policy she espouses and every single policy of President Obama has been demonstratively bad for women," Fiorina said. "Ninety-two percent of the jobs lost during Barack Obama's first term belonged to women." Her 92-percent claim dates back to the 2012 presidential race when it was used by the Republican National Committee and GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Back then we rated it Mostly False. Interestingly, women's jobs made up a lot of ground in the final months of 2012. By January 2013, the jobs numbers don’t back up the talking point at all. The number of women with jobs increased by 416,000 during Obama’s first term. So we rated Fiorina's statement False. Bernie Sanders’ tax plan New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got a few laughs when he said the Democratic field consisted of a "socialist, an isolationist and a pessimist — and for the sake of me, I can’t figure out which one is which." Christie then said the socialist, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is "going to raise your taxes to 90 percent," echoing a claim made earlier this month by Donald Trump. "This maniac … is gonna tax you people at 90 percent. He’s gonna take everything," Trump said on Oct. 14. "And nobody's heard the term communist, but you know what? I’d call him a socialist/communist, okay? ‘Cause that's what he is." Sanders hasn’t released an official tax plan, either for billionaires or for anyone else. But based on his previous comments and proposals, the tax policies Sanders is advocating are targeted at corporations and affluent Americans. Sanders has dismissed the notion that he wants to set marginal tax rates for billionaires at 90 percent. And on the whole, his tax proposals so far do not envision raising "your taxes" — that is, those of ordinary Americans — to anything approaching 90 percent. The comment grossly exaggerates the scope of Sanders' plan, so we rated Christie’s claim Pants on Fire. Rubio on voting records The day before the debate, a major Florida newspaper issued a blistering editorial calling for Rubio to resign because of his record of missed votes in the Senate. When asked about his absentee record and the editorial, Rubio countered that the Sun Sentinel had showed "bias" because a few other senators who ran for president had missed a huge chunks of votes too. Specifically, he listed Barack Obama, John Kerry and former Florida Gov. Bob Graham. The Sun Sentinel, Rubio pointed out, endorsed both Obama and Kerry despite each missing 60 to 70 percent of his votes. His claim rates True. Obama missed 64.3 percent of votes during his 2008 bid, while Kerry missed 72.3 percent while running for president in 2004. Graham was absent for 37 percent of votes during his short-lived campaign. The Sun Sentinel endorsed both Obama and Kerry. (It also endorsed Rubio in 2010.) Rubio, for his part, has missed more votes than any other senator in the 2016 race. Recently, he also nabbed the "most truant career" sash from Ted Cruz. More businesses dying than closing Rubio’s many missed votes prompted the CNBC moderator to ask him why not wait to get more done in the Senate before running for the Oval Office, "Wait for what? This country is running out of time. We can't afford to have another four years like the last eight years," Rubio responded. "For the first time in 35 years, we have more businesses closing than starting." We located a May 2014 report by the Brookings Institution that supports his claim. "Business deaths now exceed business births for the first time in the 30-plus-year history of our data," the report reads. Technically, the crossover point occurred in 2008, so it’s not as if this happened in the past year or two. We don’t know what time frame Rubio had in mind, although he did say that households hadn’t seen a raise in decades. One of the report authors told us that the trend still holds true and Rubio’s claim is accurate. We rate it True. Ben Carson on nutritional supplements Ben Carson said it’s "total propaganda" to suggest he had any connection to Mannatech, a maligned nutritional supplement company, when asked about it by moderator Carl Quintanilla. "This is a company called Mannatech, a maker of nutritional supplements, with which you had a 10-year relationship," Quintanilla said. "They offered claims they could cure autism, cancer. They paid $7 million to settle a deceptive marketing lawsuit in Texas, and yet your involvement continues. Why?" "Well, that’s easy to answer: I didn’t have an involvement with them," replied Carson, a former pediatric neurosurgeon. "That is total propaganda. And this is what happens in our society -- total propaganda. I did a couple speeches for them. I did speeches for other people. They were paid speeches. It is absolutely absurd to say that I had any kind of relationship with them. Do I take the product? Yes. I think it’s a good product." As far as we can tell, Carson was not a paid employee or official endorser of the product. However, his claim suggests he has no ties to Mannatech whatsoever. In reality, he got paid to deliver speeches to Mannatech and appeared in promotional videos, and he consistently delivered glowing reviews of the nutritional supplements. As a world-renowned surgeon, Carson’s opinion on health issues carries weight, and Mannatech has used Carson’s endorsement to its advantage. We rated Carson’s claim False. Mark, Marco and Donald Rubio was also the subject of a back-and-forth between Donald Trump and CNBC moderator Becky Quick. Here’s the exchange: Quick: "You have talked a little bit about Marco Rubio. I think you called him (Facebook founder) Mark Zuckerberg’s personal senator, because he was in favor of the H-1B visa." Trump: "I never said that. I never said that." Quick: "So this is an erroneous article the whole way around? … My apologies, I'm sorry." Trump: "Somebody's really doing some bad fact-checking." As it turns out, Quick was, uh, too quick to apologize. Trump may want to check his own website. On the immigration policy page, it says, "Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities." Pants on Fire!

Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btApgfZQoIw

As someone who is willing to vote for anyone based on the merits/policies of the candidate chosen to represent their respected party, I can't imagine even giving Trump or Carson a second thought before going into the voting booth if either win the nomination.

From the first training camp practice this year. Part of the younger crowd who can't grow a respectable beard

Post-debate polls are beginning to roll out. Sanders still trying to close the gap on Hillary, inch by inch. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bernie-sanders-surging-fresh-batch-152019716.html

Myself included. Although for me, I can't say it's specifically Bernie who sparked my interest. I felt as though it is the duty of me as a citizen and a right I should begin to exercise. While I have my gripes with the system, I should at least become more involved and make informed decisions and do my part. That's the way I look at it now rather than 4 years ago at this time.

If I had to guess, more millennials will vote in the presidential election than the primaries. I bet there will be low turnout for millennials in primaries relative to the presidential election.

I am/will be :flirt: I'm considering joining the Democratic party just to help Bernie try and get past Hillary, but I don't know. I wish the Republican field was cleaned up so I had a better picture of what I'm working with here.
