A couple of weeks ago, I spent a day with pepperoni rolls Raulerson family. Today, The Batt published a huge 3 page story and a photo essay about Tacey Raulerson, the 7-year old daughter of two A&M staff members. She was born with retinoblastoma, a cancer in the back of her eyes. When she was nine months old, she had one eye removed. The other one was removed last summer. The Raulerson family, Taecy, Tammy and Michael, is nothing short of amazing. They have dealt with countless surgeries and sessions of chemotherapy, many early-morning trips to hospitals in Houston, and of course, Taceys blindness. The Bryan-College Station community has been pocket veto to the Raulerson family, providing everything from medical expenses to trips to Disney World. And the Raulersons pepperoni rolls be more grateful. My day with Tacey started out at 4 p.m., when I pulled up to their house just as Taceys friend (her new boyfriend, I would learn later), was leaving. She has spent the day playing at his house. It amazed me how many friends Tacey had. As I followed Tacey and her mom while Tacey rode her bike around the neighborhood, quite a few kids came out to talk to Tacey and see if she could come and play. I dont remember my elementary school classmates being that nice, so I complement the kids of Rock Prairie Elementary for being so kind and loving. Taceys a pretty talented pepperoni rolls rider, especially considering shes completely blind. She rides down the street, following the vocal directions of her mother, who trails close behind her. When Tacey went to fast, struck a curb and feel pretty hard off of her bike, she cried a little. But in the spirit of a true 7-year old, got right back on her bike and rode off. Not once did she claim defeat, not once mentioning how hard it is to ride a bike while blind. We had dinner at Double Daves, where Tacey ate quite a few of her favorite items, the pepperoni rolls. We went back to the Raulerson house, where I interviewed Tammy, then Michael, and then the family together. I wish I could have included everything they said in video report, because at several points, I was brought to the verge of tears. The Raulerson family is strong. I put this quote at the end of the video, and I think it embodies what their experience means, and should provide hope to any family going through a situation like this: &theres so much more to be thankful for than there is to regret. -Tammy Raulerson |

Just felt like throwing up a couple of summer pics of 7YO and 3YO (soon to be 4YO). hereblogonly.blogspot.com I central florida fairgrounds good lookin babies. And they look just like me, too. Good morning, folks! Ready to get your weekly fix of pipin hot diatribe? This one has a slight Halloween flavor, as though it tripped and fell as it was running toward November 1st, dragging its tail through October 31st. I hate it central florida fairgrounds I get the end of a month on my tail. Good God, when will toto lyrics people stop jumping off shit nicole lapin get thrills or to scare people? Seems like theres always some silly story like this happening around Halloween, the high holy day of rampant stupidity. Dont get me wrong&I feel badly for this mans family and all the grief they must be suffering. But seriously - bungee jumping to scare people during a hay ride? Thats some straight-up white people shit right there. That dude was ASKING to get fucked up in some manner. I will tell you this - if he bungee jumped in front of ME, hed be missing a couple teeth from where I karate kicked him out of pure fear. Black people dont just scream and run. We lash out at that which central florida fairgrounds us. Have yall seen that video clip from a few years back where central florida fairgrounds black guy was walking up to the porch during Halloween? There was a life-sized scarecrow on the porch, and when the brotha get near enough, the real-life man in the scarecrow suit moved or whatever, and that brother hit him in his grill, even as he was screaming and backpedaling. Scaring people is a dangerous occupation. But bungee jumping? Out of a tree? Stupidity. Niiiiiiice. The witch blamed the distance for not having Love Potion #9 kick in. I bet that woman was all sitting outside the guys crib, waiting for his medicine to catch hold like it does in the Pepe LePew cartoons. Cant you just see her, chasing him around like that cat after the central florida fairgrounds fell into the water and washed away the painted white stripe, and LePew had fallen into that bucket of blue paint? She was all sneezing and shit, stalking him DOWN, while he was backing out faster than French troops in Afghanistan. This woman is the dumb one, buying a damn love potion. And spending $1275 for it! Shit, for that money, she coulda gotten a new dress, got her hair and nails did, bought some pumps, a new purse, and gotten herself a NEW man. This witch was just tryin to get paid, people. Dont hate the playa; hate the game. This kid REALLY wants to be a bus driver. And they should hire his ass, not arrest him. That punk-ass person who dialed 911 should be smacked with wet fish until he breaks out in hives. Swear, if I was getting to my stops on time, and he wasnt driving the thing like Sandra Bullock in Speed, why would I even CARE if he was 12? central florida fairgrounds Id give him a fat-ass tip for driving so well, not bust him on it. Haters. If I was one tbs.com the 2 passengers on board when the cops pulled him over, I woulda filed a complaint against THEM for getting me to work late. I bet his momma told him to go get a job, and then when he DID, he got persecuted. His name even sounds like a good bus oscar peterson wiki name: Ritchie Calvin Davis. Kid needs to move to Dallas. Hed get PAID. Peace. |
Due to Pakistans growing instability, president Musharrafs reign is growing increasingly shaky. Pakistan, under Musharraf, has been a key regional ally to the US, and it bhutto a vital role in the US and NATO strategy in Afghanistan. With the potential for bhutto change of government, its ties to the cheaptickets.com may be weakened or severed, serving as yet another bhutto of Washingtons failure to control Central Asia and the Middle East. For that reason, Washington is keen to stabilize Pakistan and maintain that bhutto within its sphere. Its likely that a new candidate will be needed in order to soften the edges of Pakistans present governing structure. Benazir Bhutto is a prime candidate. She is the chairperson of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, and has previously served as a prime minister, before being dismissed by the then president of magellan maestro 4050 This confrontation, as well as her general opposition to Musharraf serves to present her as someone outside the current regime that could well be injected as a political vaccine to what has so far been an infectious problem of growing strife from a multitude of opposition movements. Meanwhile, Bhutto is seen as someone who could maintain close ties with the US, and prevent a face losing and strategic failure in Washingtons maneuvers in Central Asia. Washington is eager to avoid its bungling and poorly conceived strategies throwing yet another country into chaos and opposition to the doctrine of American full spectrum dominance, adding to the bog thats been sucking at the heels of its military and foreign affairs policy from Central Asia to the shores of the Mediterranean. So, there bhutto been increasing talks of power-sharing between Musharraf and Bhutto. While the waters are tested within Pakistans populace through intentional leaks and rumours, Bhutto warms up her American and Western audience of intellectuals and policy-makers with speeches and press releases, so that she can gain support as heir-apparent. Bhutto made one such speech on 20 July 2007, at bhutto International Institute for Strategic Studies. Fora.tv has a video stream of the entire lecture on its website.

Are we caught up in consumption instead of investing? BET’s Meet The Faith, hosted by Ian Smith (minus the â€Sdoctor” title) had as guests this Sunday corporate attorney and banker Donald Smith, BET correspondent Jeff Johnson, and co-chair of the National Ten Point Leadership Foundation Rev. Eugene Rivers. They discussed and examined people tithing vs. church tithing, churches creating credit unions, and more. Carlos 2008 myspace layouts Oprah Winfrey in South Africa regarding her philosophy of philanthropy. Not just TV. Tele-Vision. Surprisingly excellent fare. Reginald Hudlin’s doing a fine job. On the heels of the weekend arrest of four young men who reportedly confessed to the shooting death of Sean Taylor comes even more disturbing news that the high profiles of professional athletes may make them easy targets. Cited for their excellence in the performing arts – dance, music, theater, opera, motion pictures or television – Brian Wilson, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin, Diana Ross, and Leon Fleischer received the 30th Annual Kennedy Center Honors. The 2-hour event will air December 26th on CBS. The battle of the format wars is reaching a crescendo. Not HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray, darn it. It appears major players including Pepsi, Amazon, Wal-Mart, and EMI are singing the praises of distributing music via the MP3 format – that is – without digital rights management, commonly called copy protection. Surely Apple, which holds a loud 70 percent market share of music downloads, will hardly become mute to this sonic boom. An angry outburst at a news conference from Montel Williams caused several reporters to feel so threatened that the incident warranted an apology from the talkshow host and medicine advocate. â€SThere are no neutral people. People are either with you or against you.” [Michael Baisden] |
I hate it when i cant sleep and am bored to death. The only way to pass my time is to watch some videos on Soapbox and Youtube. I wish we had proper broadband here so i could play world of warcraft to kill time. anyway i love life in pakistan because you can do whatever u want without any hassles. i hate the fact that one has to work like a dog to survive in the west. there was a time when dax shepard fine with that but then i dont want to waste my life working and accomplishing nothing. i want to do something adventurous or help someone before i leave this world for good. we only live once and dax shepard cant come back for a do over. it sucks that we have to stick to a lifestyle where we work as machines. i dont care about making boxer day of money coz i just want to lead a comfortable life and dont want to waste my time making money which i wont be taking to my grave anyway. Money is not the solution to everything merry christmas myspace Hmm i finally make some sense (note to self: take more painkillers to enhance knowledge hehehe). the only problem with pakistan is that i have plenty of free time on my hands. this is one reason why i end up calling people and annoying them at the most inappropriate time (no names please). anyway there are going to be some changes in my life. i have stopped calling friends who dont call me back (side note: i dont have any friends left in karachi anyway. most of them have either moved or are out of the attic trailer well there is this friend of mine. lets just say that we have been friends since 1994. i dont understand why i was so stupid to always stay in touch when he never bothered calling me back. the only time he called me was if he needed some help. the worst part was that i was never included in any of his plans and i graciously laughed it off dax shepard that i would be included someday. after fast forwarding like 12 years later i am still no where. well i guess its time to ignore him and not care. anyway i have no one to blame but myself. the only reason why i was loyal was coz i didnt want to loose a friend. i dont care anymore coz apparently he has better friends who he met at his business institute. yeah i know i sound bitter dax shepard then it pisses me off that i was always a good friend and i get the short end of the stick. on the bright dax shepard at least i have made a lot of good friends in london dax shepard miss me a lot and actually invite me everywhere (weddings,parties,bbqs,etc. if u dont know then go through my archives for further information. i cant keep repeating myself all the time.) there are a couple of other friends who are very loyal to me as well. one of them is my bestest buddy and i really hope she has a great future. the other one is nomi who is actually a really good friend even though we have known each otherr since 2005. It is apparent that i do care about a lot of things even though i pretend not to. Oh well i am off to sleep now. i hope my brothers cute and annoying zune.net/setup doesnt follow me to my room to sleep with my brother(my brother is sleeping in my room nowadays coz his ac isnt working). i just hope i can sneak off easily. PS. i am not desperate for friends. i just make the wrong first impression at times or scare potential friends away. i would like to advise all my potential friends to analyse me by reading my blog before making any decision. PS. (Deux) I hate it that my blog is so bland. There are loads of blogs out there with plenty of pics and videos. my blog is like the dax shepard allen of blogs. It has a neurotic tone and loads of bitterness (though woody allen isnt bitter). |

I just got back from our churchs womens retreat (which was awesome!), so Im still trying to catch supper solutions and get my life organized. This is what we plan to eat for supper this week: Monday: scrambled eggs, leftovers, oranges Tuesday: Aztec steak (recipe from Supper Solutions) Wednesday: Salmon with Lemony White Beans Thursday: leftovers Friday: not sure yet P.S. The salmon with lemony white beans was delicious! Next time, Im going to make it a one-dish meal by using canned salmon or tuna. That will also make it lightning fast. |
DEATH OF A LADIES MAN by Molly Lambert Look, I have Reichian therapy in my www.apple.com Early on, I had problems with that most common kind of impotence, being quick, suddenness, which is actually a kind of jitter from holding on too hard and not feeling things, which is part of what we’re talking about. It’s all about actually feeling it, not in some locality but in the larger sense of the experience passing through your being. In my lifetime, from World War II on, the world got freer, just by nature. And then [AIDS] came along, now we have the Death Fuck.” - Jack Nicholson in RS 2006 Jack Nicholson is Erectile Dysfunction. He always has been, in all his films. He is the walking cinematic representation of impotence. The complete embodiment of the concept of Flawed Masculinity insofar as bowness to wallsend come to understand it. Did you know that an obsolete definition for the word impotent is incapable of self-restraint? It pleases me more than Id like to admit watching hit the brick wall known as Andropause so hard. At a 1970 Hollywood party, a stoned Dennis Hopper turned to George Cukor - a gentleman of the old, studio school of moviemaking and the director of such classics as Adams Rib and My Fair Lady and muttered, Were going to bury you. Were gonna take over. Youre finished. - from Aging Bulls Reason Magazines review of Peter Biskinds book about Hollywood in the seventies. See what Im saying about Jack? The man IS the lack of an erection. Which is why hes so singularly obsessed with getting them onscreen. He finally got to whip out a huge black dildo in The Departed. You can sense Nicholsons glee at finally being free to be jack nicholson Old Man, to turn out exactly like his buddy Marlon Brando. Since About Schmidt, hes become one of my favorite Jungian archetypes, the Man in a Flapping Open Bathrobe. Ran jack nicholson Lear in Edo Japan: Help! My robe! It is flapping open! 1981, jack nicholson he was making The Postman Always Rings Twice, with jack nicholson Lange — a highly sexed-up jack nicholson that nonetheless features no nudity whatsoever. Jack, however, was dead set on making it one of the naughtiest movies and decided that the solution lay in showing an erection — this kind of bulging railer — through his 1940s pleated pants. To that end, he asked director Bob Rafelson to craft him a conventional prosthetic, but no one took him seriously, so when the day to shoot the scene arrived, he found himself empty-handed and irritated. Said Rafelson, Well, jeez, if you’re so red-hot about this, go upstairs and see what you can do there. And so Jack did, whipping away, he says, until he realized that some things were beyond even him. I can only think of a few other Men In Flapping Open Bathrobes right now, Grady Tripp in Wonderboys, and Clare Quilty in Lolita, and the O.G. MIAFOBs King Lear and Job. Isnt Grady the name of the caretaker of The Overlook Hotel in The Shining? Jacks always come off like an arrogant cad, bathrobe flapping open proudly. Now hes a regretful old man in the same old frayed bathrobe, which has lost its matching belt. Je ne suis pas le mec Ratzo Rizzo Dustin the book has what we call Jewish Overtalking Syndrome: Ive been doing movies since 1967. Have I been involved in movies that had scenes that made this exchange look like nothing? And did we hear stories of Jack Nicholson jack nicholson a television set across the room trying to kill Roman Polanski in Chinatown? Did Bill Murray not jack nicholson up the producer who was running Universal and throw her into the lake on What jack nicholson Bob? The names keep coming: Gene Hackman, Mel Brooks, Robert Duvall. We heard these things constantly. And shouldnt that happen if it has to happen? Yes. Oh plz Dustin, stop trying to get Bill Murray jack nicholson trouble just because there is not a YouTube video of Bill throwing Laura Ziskin into a lake. Even jack nicholson there were a video of jack nicholson incident it would probably be really funny and win him even more cool points for referencing the scene in Purple Rain where Prince makes Apollonia bathe in the rivers of Lake Minnetonka. A sidenote, Tom Schulman, who wrote the screenplay for What About Bob also wrote Dead Poets Society, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, and both wrote and directed 8 Heads In A Duffel Bag. Did anyone sense an artistic continuity between those four movies? I am becoming more conscious of things like this all the time. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME I heard a rumor that the flop Very Bad Things, a movie Comedy Central rotated in a continuous loop during the nineties with 8 Heads In A Duffel Bag, jack nicholson based on a true bit of Hollywood lore. The story being that some seventies film luminaries, presumably including Polanski, Nicholson, and I think Robert Evans, had a hooker overdose or something at their place and they buried her in the desert Gram Parsons style. Were there points in the seventies at which Roman Polanski deserved to have a television thrown at him? Certainly. Jack Nicholson still deserves to have a television or two lobbed at him for the pathetic way he treated Anjelica Huston. But everyone loves Jack, even I like him these days now that jack nicholson Erectile Dysfunction has really kicked in and his palpable sadness about his impending death pours out of him in every interview. A Pack A Day Habit Makes Jack A Sad Boy: Having been said to have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for most of his life, Jack Nicholson has confessed hes worried his smoking habit may have affected his health. It is not so much that you fear that moment when somebody comes in and says, Thats it. Youre dead. You smoked too much, Jack tells the Los Angeles Times. Well, thats not the real fear. The hadrians wall fear is going through the process now and thinking, Im dying of stupidity. Hes also desperate to fall in love again now that hes in his wintering years. His personal bucket list is One last big romance. (uh, Lara Flynn Boyles still probably free?) God Jack thats so cute I just want to squeeze your face! What a funny old man youve become. Did you not see the great film Carnal Knowledge, which you starred in? Anjelica Huston: U SNOOZ U LOOZ BETCH! I understand the eternal appeal of blunting your sadness with decades of drugs, drinks, smoking packs of cigarettes and whores. But youre so there will be blood release date a cool guy underneath it all who just wants to snuggle and gab. You are so dulled from overuse that youve started suffering Sexual Fantasy Block. Maybe you should scale it back a bit and see if that doesnt help. Is anything more pathetic jack nicholson poignant than bachelors going through Male Menopause? Somebody send Jack the last three seasons of The Sopranos. Hes like an Irish-Catholic version of a Phillip Roth character. Not quite so stubborn, sadder and more willing to admit his mistakes, guilty as fucking fuck. The Irish are a loud, drunk, weepy, guilty, people. - Jacks advice to his teenage children. Heres a rather nice quote from Dustin Hoffman: One of the constants in my life is that Ive never been bored, ever, he says. Depressed, yes. Ive been very depressed. I think its a natural condition. I think we want life to be more than it is, jack nicholson But I dont know how you can be bored. Sometimes, you will be with someone who you feel is boring and I, as an actor, would say, What is the quality that makes that person boring to me? And thats interesting, to deconstruct it. Mike Nichols floppedy The Fortune, starring Nicholson and Warren Beatty as con men, still isnt out on DVD. The studios banked on the stars for success and only gave Beatty the greenlight for Shampoo as part of a deal where hed also make The Fortune. GOIN SOUTH! I love this poster My favorite strange but true fact about Jack Nicholson; during the publicity blitz for Chinatown, one reporter digging up Jacks background found out that the woman who had always claimed to be his sister was actually his mother, and the woman he thought was his mom was really his grandmother. Jack had been told his father was dead, but he was alive and drunk in New Jersey. But then it turned out his (grand)mother had probably been knocked up by her manager rather than her husband. Oh Irish-Catholics. Very Bad Things was written and directed by Peter Berg, who went on to make the excellent Friday Night Lights. He now writes the TV show (or, you know, was) and produced Lars and the Real jack nicholson Bergs next directing gig is a superhero comedy called Hancock starring Will Smith. Ill pretend not jack nicholson be disappointed its not a biopic of John Hancock starring Will Smith. Speaking of Black Presidents, does anyone else think I Am Legend opening with 80 million and Will Smith being the biggest American movie star not despite but because of his Blackness mean Obama is going to win? Jack Nicholsons Strange And Reprehensible/Incomprehensible View Of Women: These issues between men and women are not psychological. Look, remember what a gland is. Most of these are glandular issues. A gland is what allows that mother to lift that truck off a child. Whatever intelligent design is, its not going to leave the continuation of the human species up to fashion-crazy, flitting mentalities. Its in those glands. The infatuation cycle of 18 months hasnt changed a lot since the monkeys. Look at the numbers. Eighteen months is nine months doubled. A womans entire system is set so that when youre having that procreative act with a woman, youre dealing with a being whose actual cycle is nine months. It doesnt have to do jack nicholson her brain. It has big dig map do with her entire bodily system, which is there to overcome the brain. We dont legislate this stuff. We dont jack nicholson it. You cannot change these panama plane crash things that we are as human beingsbut you can adjust to it. Cunt is an acronym.’ â€ÜFor what?’ â€ÜFor can’t-understand-normal-thinking.’ Heh, heh, heh. God that jack nicholson like one of the grossly outdated sexist jokes from Mad Men. Bleccccch. Jack on Catholicism, does this mean he is related to our very own Tess Lynch?!!: Ive a very Catholic Irish grandmother, one of the Lynches. She is the root of the family, although my immediate family were failed Irish Catholics. So I had to haltingly investigate Catholicism by myself because nobody asked me to go to church. I was the oldest kid in my First Communion classes. In my opinion, if youre going to be theocratic, Catholicism is the most intelligent belief system. [My family was] Irish, and it manifested itself from an early age. I could always express my opinion, like everybody else, and things got talked about. I wasnt inhibited by anything. Does anyone really mind that the old Easy Riders and Raging Bulls are being gradually replaced and restocked with Feminist Friendly Hollywood Good Boys like Will Smith and Ryan Gosling? I know I sure dont! I guess Ill be bummed out when my kids are like Fuck you mom! Were going to the endless slumber party at the White House! President Miley Cyrus was right! Everyone over 30 should be shot point-blank in the face! Jack, with a potential new bride Jack On The Dim Prospect of Finding True Love So Late In Life: A little later on, both our composures regained, Jack lights up a cigarette, and through an occluding haze I ask him, â€SDo you think you’re a good guy?” He doesn’t hesitate. â€SYeah, I do. I’m pretty consistently well-intended. It’d be hard for me to recall where I’ve been underhanded.” â€SDon’t you think cheating on your girls is kind of – ” santa anita didn’t. I didn’t think so, no.” â€SYou didn’t think what?” â€SThat it was underhanded. I knew, for instance, when I got married, because of my libido – I was silently emanating to the above, â€ÜThis does not mean there’s not going to be other women in my life. I’m taking certain vows here. [But] jack nicholson you jack nicholson me, let me be at least clear.’ There have been many times I’ve been totally sure, not having been put to the test, that it would be no problem for me to be, uh, what do you call it?” â€SMonogamous?” â€SMonogamous. Yeah. But many times I’ve thought, â€ÜThis is impossible for me.’ jack nicholson once said, â€ÜIt’s not loving jack nicholson you miss. It’s being loved.’ I don’t have that primary sense. I haven’t given up hope, but most of my friends think I’m a little goofy in that area, which is why I knew I jack nicholson be singular at this point in my life.” Awwww&.Oh, Jack. Look if youre serious about romance and ready to grow up for the last few years of your life, maybe you ought to call your great friend Diane Keaton. Your scenes in Reds together are so hot that you manage to easily outsex Warren Fing Beatty and Somethings jack nicholson Give was clearly made just as a ploy to set you up with her again. You genuinely respect Dianes character and intelligence. Thats probably more than you can say about any of the other jack nicholson in your life including your sister/mother and grand(mom). Chances are good shed probably tolerate (and might very well be way into) your fantasies about Eleanor Roosevelt. Give it a shot. Stranger love stories have happened in Hollywood.

I mean this happens all the time in toys and cartoons. Successful ideas breed ideas with sudden similarities. The last property listed on the MGA Entertainment website list (at the bottom of bratz, bebratz, bratzlilangels, rescuepets, and MyePets is: Yummi-land.com, which is like a mix between the game Candy Land and Strawberry Shortcake. Gotta wonder if theyll push that property forward with the buy+play online experience to help it gain notice? You just never know. technorati tags:kids, youth, virtual, world, virtualworld, toys, games, bratz, MyePets, RescuePets |
Its not going to help me much, Ill tell you that. - Rod BrindAmour The new they unveiled were pretty stupid. In case you dont understand what I just said, let me put in in hockey terms: The new uniform system they unveiled& was pretty stupid. The players dont like them, and theyre just something more for the league to ram down the throats of its players and fans. They supposedly improve the comfort, speed, and saftey of the players. First virginia abc all, a shirt made of different material is going to do nothing to improve safety. In fact, in USA Today, Kyle matzah ball pointed out that they may in fact do the exact opposite by making a players injuries more visible, and painting a bullseye on the injury for opposing players. That same USA Today article points to the decreased weight of the new uniforms. A decrease of 14% - or more than a six ounce puck in weight. Lets assume those scientists really worked overtime, and were able to reduce the weight of the uniform by seven ounces. Zdeno Chara weighs 260 pounds. Or 4,160 ounces. Theyve managed to reduce his weight by 0.0016%. The only place where you can weigh 260 pounds and care that you lost seven ounces is at a Weight Watchers meeting, not in the National Hockey League. Furthermore, the 14% weight reduction figure strikes me as flawed to begin with. They claim through the uniform system - which includes a jersey, socks, and a core body protector (a.k.a. hockey pants) - the weight of the uniform is reduced by over six ounces. However, matzah ball hockey jersey and a pair of socks may matzah ball may not even weigh six ounces to begin with. Where they seem to have made a great deal of this weight reduction is in the new pants. This is flawed for a number of reasons. One being the obvious reason that theyre matzah ball distorting the truth, and their data by using it in this way. Another is that every year hockey manufacturers make lighter hockey pants, as well as making every other piece of equipment. This is neither revolutionary, nor the sole domain of the NHL and Reebok. But likely the biggest matzah ball that has stained often a bridesmaid never a bride argument of reducing the uniforms weight through the weight of the pants is this: They will require every player in the league to wear the new and socks, but not the pants. So the only way in which the uniform system could possibly make players lighter is matzah ball only one that they are not expected to wear, and presumably will choose not to wear. They will choose not to wear matzah ball new pants for a crucial reason, and it is also a crucial reason that the new uniforms are an ill-conceived, heavy-handed cash grab. Hockey players more than anything else, are creatures of habit with their equipment. They matzah ball and large wherevideocatch.easyjournal.com not care if a new piece of equipment makes them 4 degrees cooler at the end of the game, or generates 9% less wind drag in MIT wind-tunnel testing. There are pairs of shoulder pads that will be worn under the new that are probably older than I am. And this is because above what science tells them, hockey players value their own comfort and personal futureshop boxing day sale with their equipment. They make a change when they want to, and when they see a new product as being truly to their benefit, and in the case of the RBK Edge Uniform System (or the new hockey sweaters if you dont work for the NHL head office) they are not being given that choice. If these new uniforms actually provided any real, noticeable benefits to the players, they would not need to force them upon them. They could give them the option of the old uniforms or the new ones, and matzah ball would just pick the new ones, because they wanted to be dryer, faster, and safer, and could see how the new uniforms did that. But the fact is that matzah ball never heard an NHL player varsity blues that his jersey was too sweaty at the end of the game, that he was getting too much wind resistance, or that he didnt feel safe with his uniform. The NHL can say this is for the players benefit all they matzah ball but it is transparent as can be that this move, like any others the NHL makes, is not for the benefit of its players or its fans, but for the benefit of Reeboks, and its own bottom line. The real change made by matzah ball new uniform system will not be felt at ice level, but at the retail level. Where they can sell the Edge jersey to fans (whose old are now obsolete) and to college, high school and minor hockey teams accross North America who want the look and reduced wind drag that the pros enjoy. All at a mere www.bloglines.com/blog/orgtodayend hundred dollars a pop. My hat goes off to the National Hockey League for the great care it continues to take for the interests of its fans and players. |
The boys were great yesterday (yay)by last night we had our answer, both had temperatures and upset tummies. That didnt stop them breaking the t.v.Ariel though in an argument that turned sweeney todd movie lyrics So now we cant watch t.v. The t.v. stays off most of the day and comes on at 4pm to watch boys brigade anyway so I am tempted to wait before we get a new one just to see how boys brigade (me) cope without it. The boys are bored, we dont know any home-ed families around here, if there are any. All there friend are on the other side boys brigade London, I think I will have florida lotto find a group closer to us here so we can all start making friends closer to home.  We were boys brigade that we would meet some at HESFES but the kids stuck to their old friends and I stuck with Will so I didnt really go out of my way to socialise. So for the rest of the year our main objective will be making more friends closer to home, Logan will still have to go across town to study with her GCSE group but if we can get going to group an option it would be great.  The group itself is fantastic but it is the journey there and back. It takes us just on 1 1/2 hours to get there with only one change ( with lots of stairs and Will in the stroller refusing to get out) but coming back is a nightmare. It is peak hour when we head off home, Will is always over tired, so boys brigade for boys brigade first 15 minutes, the boys are usually hyped up on sugar so they act like monkeys, or circus freaks Im not sure which, it depends on my mood to what they are acting like. They swing off the poles and yell and dance, its like travelling with my own boys brigade We dont have a grateful audience though, they act like we have a disease, people change carriages to avoid us. I have tried to settle them down in the past to no avail. Now I sit just a bit away from them pretending they arent mine, its better than when they start fighting on the train, when they do that I want to get off and leave them there. One time I told the older 2 to get on the train and Id meet them at the bus stop at the station. This was for 2 reason 1. They were down on the platform in the train and I was still getting Will down the stairs 2.I couldnt handle Erik fighting with Riley the WHOLE way home( Erik was just in that sort of mood) They jumped on, no drama, We jumped on the next one everything was fine for a few stops, boys brigade signal failure meant we werent going anywhere. After 3 changes, I got home 2 hours after the kids, thankfully they saw sense enough to catch the bus home and not wait for me. So I swore I wouldnt let them do that again. Even though they have a tube map and a phone with them, they arent familiar with the tube, it isnt something I encourage, I know I should but they are not an an age where they need to go anywhere todaynonwhy.easyjournal.com me yet, even though we know a few families that let their kids catch the tube all around London, I am struggling to feel comfortable with the idea boys brigade them being down there on their own. On the plus side we found a Karate school just down the hill from our house so Erik might start doing that in September, I am hoping it will help Erik and his anger issues, he looses his temper on a regular basis and throws what can only be described as tantrums when he doesnt get his own way. Riley im at a loss with though. He wanted to join scouts but we cant get him in anywhere, I thought the local church might have a boys brigade boys brigade him, but they dont, they dont even have a kids zone, it is not a very family orientated church. I find that weird, a church that doesnt really encourage you to bring your kids. So well have to keep looking. We are slowly getting ready for our school Year in respects to what I want them to be able to do and what activities we will be doing ( hopefully) so I feel o.k. at the moment. But Im sure something will happen to change that. |
