I understand all this. I don't see them as moot points, since Fitz was in the conversations for those players, if he was just staying pat, as that seems to be the issue here, he wouldn't even look to add those players.
If you want to discredit Fitz for every single move he made, which is basically what you did in your post, you'll most likely do it with every single move he makes. If we get Boeser for example, it'll be because the market was favorable and he has a down season, so he shouldn't get credit. Most hockey moves are for certain reasons that can be explained and used to discredit the GM. Hall only came here because things weren't working out in Edmonton, and the Oilers desperately needed young d-men, hence Shero shouldn't get credit for the Hall trade. Let's not forget that Peter Chiarelli is a bad GM, so that move was a lightning-strike kind of move, once in a decade trade, Shero shouldn't get any credit. Siegenthaler was a low-risk move, so Fitz shouldn't be given credit for the trade. I just don't see how that view of moves makes sense. Maybe we just see that point differently.
The other thing I'd like to ask you is why do you stick on in-season moves? Our team is young and is not in a position for playoffs or contention. Why not wait for the off-season to look for moves, when more players are available and usually at cheaper prices? I'd like to understand your point a bit more on that front.
Kinda like what SD tried to do with me in trying to goad me into creating mock trade proposals.
In all seriousness though, I will be thrilled if we made a move for Boeser. I would much rather be proved wrong than right on this. For every low-risk/high-reward move that worked out, I can point to one that didn't. Either way the net result is us still being a bottom 5 team in the league.
In-season moves could also be change of coaching staff as well. Instead Fitz seems ok with us sticking with this staff that has shown little. That includes a guy who seems to be teflon in Nass. They also could have done a little more than trading for a goalie. A warm body for a Target gift card in Gillies trade doesn't quite scream that you are trying to do anything at all.

This is kind of where I am with this discussion. I think Fitz deserves credit where it's due. He had a really good offseason, signing the best available UFA to a good contract, signing a strong backup
I'm sorry, that isn't my job- it's Tom Fitzgerald's. So I don't really give a sh!t. He lacks balls, and it also appears, creativity.

9 days off, nothing will change, Fitz will emerge from under his troll bridge to go watch his son in Buffalo, we'll still suck

I probably backed you up on that trade, i would have done it.
And the "barely have any assets" was a reference to 2015 until now since you brought up Shero and Fitz. We had literally zero prospects worth sh!t to trade and we had the oldest roster ever, nothing we could do for years until we at least had an NHL roster, I even said that we are JUST starting to have assets to trade now and that back then we only had low risk high rewards type of move to make. Again, you conveniently ignored that.
2015 is 2015. I am talking about since 2017-18 season. We have ended up in the bottom 6 teams in the league in the past 3 seasons and are about to do it a 4th year in a row.

Because those guys are just impatient and just want SOMETHING NOW. And IF something is done, they'd want results for it. Which no moves made this year would guarantee any results, lets be honest. GUARANTEED that even if we would have made moves and not make the playoffs, they'd STILL be whining and only bringing up that we didnt make the playoffs. Like they actually did in our post, they want results, thats it.
That's called being entitled and desperate. Not rational and patient.
The only move I had question marks about was the Tatar signing. He was clearly a last resort sort of signing after Fitz couldn't get something done for Saad/Tarasenko. The Bernier move was great imo, but absolutely blew up in our face. No one could've predicted our 2 starting goalies would get injured. That doesn't usually happen, like at all. I don't think that should be used to discredit Fitz. I understand others see it differently though.
I am wanting more than 1 playoff game win in the past 10 years and I am being entitled and desperate. OK, got it.

Oh stop. No one believes that. We just see other GM's doing something to salvage their season or make their teams better while our current and previous GM had no problems punting the season away by Christmas and make promises of better days ahead that never comes.
He was literally the first warm body that was available for practically nothing and somehow we have to consider that as proof that Fitz was trying to do something lol.
I consider it proof of Fitz trying to do something.
Tanking.
LMAO. Are you, yet again, killing Lou for being a buyer in a season where we went to the CUP FINALS??!!? We were having a pretty good season back in 2011-12 and you just wanted Lou to punt the season because they might leave for nothing?!
You are literally attacking Lou for holding onto players who helped take us to the cup finals but defending Shero/Fitz to the death for 1 playoff win in 7 seasons. You are just in a "anyone but Lou is a better GM!" sh!tck-coma.
SD claims he hates agendas. But he always has one.

You really need to look up the word 'entitled', because you have no fvcking idea what it means or what context to ever apply it in.

Yes, the end result is the same. I just don't think we can understate the effects of goaltending on this team. Our team generates offense 5-on-5 at a top 10 level. Our defence is slightly above average, our PP is getting better, our PK is very good. The one point that is holding us back this season is goaltending. There is no way to spin it otherwise, it's otherworldly bad. I saw somewhere on Twitter that with only average goaltending, we'd have 5-6 more wins, which would put us on the bubble, exactly where most of us thought we would be. We are better in many metrics than let's say, the Rangers, that barely generate any offense 5-on-5, but they have absolutely ELITE goaltending. Sub .900% goaltending across the board is absolutely brutal, any way you want to slice it. Gillies has allowed 3 goals or more in 10 of his 12 starts here. It's horrible. This might be the worst goaltending stretch this franchise has seen. With that being said, I'm sure Fitz will look to improve it in the off-season. No goalie can be acquired right now, in season, at a reasonable price that can significantly move the needle. I'd be very surprised if it's not addressed in the off-season.
As for the staff, I absolutely agree with you. I'd be shocked if the staff is back next year and if they are, I'd really like to hear Fitz on that. I feel he wants to keep a certain stability until the end of the season, but they'll get canned in the off-season. Nas is getting a bad rep here, but the PK is excellent this season and the improvements of D-men like Siegenthaler show me that maybe he can help defensively. With that being said, I won't be that upset if he's let go. Recchi and Ruff can go though. The PP is ass and it shouldn't be with the skill we have on the first unit. I also believe Ruff's system is not intuitive at all and complicated for our young team, which creates missed assignments and defensive struggles. He also doesn't seem to adapt his system at all. I also don't like his TOI disparities most games.
Based on context. Yeah you are. You're I WANT TO WIN NOW AT ALL COST mentality is precisely why we're in this mess to start with. Other teams don't start their rebuild when they hit absolute rock bottom like we did, we literally had to fire Lou to start ours cause he just ran the team into the ground and wouldnt do it and wouldnt fire his head scout who sucked for decades and got us nothing in our prospect pool. And now you whine cause it takes too long to dig ourselves out of the hole it created.
And like there's any promise that you just have to wait a few years and suddenly your team is successful. It takes so much fvcking luck, patience and making the right moves, getting the right players for that to happen. But of course you don't understand that. Wtv im done with your entitlement and your non-sense. I'm a happy fan cause i have common sense and understand the task the management has. If you want to be miserable and whine your life away, do your thing.

How many losing seasons where we are out of the running before New Years is it until we are "allowed" to be unhappy about it?
And once again. 2015 was 7 years ago. The cupboard was bare 7 years ago. This team was in the playoffs in 2018 and Shero failed to build on it.

This team was in the playoffs because of most likely the best season from a Devils' forward ever. Hall had over 40 points more than our second scorer, it was, quite literally a one man job. I don't think it could've been built on in any way.
You're 100% allowed to be unhappy with the team's situation though. I don't usually comment on this subject but I will say our cupboard was not only bare, it was EXTREMELY weak. We now have assets and good prospects to be able to make some moves and grow as the youngest team in the league. I have a hard time seeing how any fan wouldn't be somewhat optimistic for the future of the team when we see the steps that players like Hughes, Nico and Bratt have taken respectively and various categories, the addition of an elite #1 d-man, prospects like Mercer, Rango, Holtz, L. Hughes, Gritsyuk, Mukhamadullin, Zetterlund, etc. This team has some problems, that's for sure. We're also generating offense 5-on-5 at a top 10 clip, have a great PK, and an average defence and that's with the youngest team in the league. Our real problem is goaltending, it can't be understated.
I'm definitely optimistic about the future, but I wouldn't say you aren't allowed to be unhappy, not at all. I understand it's frustrating to lose. I just think context is important. But I wouldn't want to tell disappointed fans that they can't be and I apologize if that's how my posts came across.

And how fast do you expect a team where no UFA wants to go and where you have to start from nothing with no prospect to be competing? Understanding that it takes time for draft picks to make the NHL and make an impact. And that there's never any guarantee that prospects do pan out.
You rebuild through the draft. Our 7 years of draft brought us. Zacha (mostly a bust), McLeod (4th line center), Smith (top 4 d), Holtz (not in the NHL), Mercer (middle of the pack F), Mukhamadullin (not in the NHL), Hughes (Top line Center), L.Hughes (non in NHL). We got lucky getting Bratt and Sharangovich so far.
We're still very much rebuilding. I mean, add Hughes, Holtz and Mercer to say... Colombus right now. They are fvcking set. Cause they were not rock bottom. But add the same guys to MTL right now... they are still fvcked for quite awhile with the roster they have.
Also i never said you're not "allowed" to be unhappy about it. I said DEMANDING and expecting that the team makes the playoffs or wtv like it's owed to you is entitled and bringing up that we didn't make the playoffs in 10 years while ignoring context on how bad we had nothing to build on and that it would take years for anyone to rebuild from that is just not understanding context

I wasn't referring to you at all with the thing about being allowed. SD tends to tell people how they should or shouldn't feel about the team and how to properly be a fan.
And I'm very optimistic about the future. I like what's been put in place. I have just lost faith in the coaching staff and Diet Shero. I understand they have THE PLAN. But what I don't like is their refusal to adjust. If something doesn't go according to plan (like goaltending injuries or an historically terrible defense or underperformances from Zacha, Smith, Johnsson, Kuok etc) then I think it's unfair to the rest of the team to punt the season. If a GM truly believes this team should be competing in March and then the team is WAY off that trajectory then he should acknowledge it and adjust.
For example, MB pointed out in another thread that with even mediocre goaltending this team jumps 4 spots in the standings and is 7 points away from the wild card as opposed to 19 points away.
I think part of the reluctance to address the goaltending in any significant way is that Fitz & Co still think Blackwood is the goalie of the present AND the future (not saying I necessarily agree).
Mounting evidence suggests that Fitz could be very wrong on that one...at the very least, if Blackwood is meh and/or injured next season, Fitz has to be extremely willing to change course, and attempt to find someone else...even if he'd want to keep Mac around, at least accept that he'll need someone better/more durable as your projected true #1-type.
Fitz appears to have put damned near ALL of his eggs in the "We have a lot of young assets and they're all going to be up here contributing very soon" basket. He'd better be right about the kids.

This is the internet, where criticism of criticism exist. What a concept.
At least I make my claims are based on what im actually seeing and not on what im not seeing and imagining while i have no idea what's going on behind closed doors.

And you make claims based on what you are seeing and not imagining? Like… when you said part of the reason Kovalchuk left because Parise and Clarkson weren't re-signed? I don't recall ever reading that.
Another observation is that you sit on your high horse telling everyone how they should or shouldn't react and how a fan should or shouldn't feel or else they are quote "little en
SD throws the word 'entitled' around all the time. It's pretty clear he doesn't actually know what it means.
No the little entitled bitches part is just towards the fans making claim like "it's been X amount of years and we're still not in the playoffs". As if being part of the playoffs is something fans automatically deserve after X amount of years. I didn't say that towards you, just towards whoever said that, which is mostly those other 2 guys, you i dont know. Again, my opinion, not telling people what to do. I literally just said people can do wtv they want.
Kovalchuk IMO left in a fvck you to the NHL as a whole i'm sure after the lockdown and them fvcking him over and being welcomed by his country at the time. I also think he clearly saw the team was a sinking ship and im sure played in his decision knowing he wouldn't win a cup in NJ. That's 100% my theory and not necessarily factual. So yeah, i shouldnt have make that claim i can fully admit it. Those other guys sure won't take their claims back though.
But that little part was just added to the whole list of UFAs Lou let walk into free agency, Niedermayer, Elias, Gomez, Rafalski, Holik, Parise, etc etc. It doesn't change the point i was making in any way. He let all those guys mostly in their prime walk into free agency and lost all of them except Elias. Imagine all those guys staying with the club or getting assets for them how it would have kept the franchise going. You don't even have to put clarkson and parise in that list and its still absolutely unacceptable.
Fully aware what the term mean. We can disagree as to if some fans on here are or not. It's really not important.
It's understandable to be angry and frustrated that we havent made the playoffs more than we have in the last decade. We're all feeling it.
It's something else to act like the reason we're not a playoff team now is because our GMs fvcked up and completely ignore so many factors and context. As if after X amount of years we should be a playoffs team by now. There's no such thing as a guarantee.
Especially when you start from almost nothing. We started from scratch in 2015 with almost nothing, no core player to build around and no prospects. How long do you realistically think it takes to rebuild a roster and prospect pool from that? Considering not all your picks will pan out and some will take years to maybe make an impact and that we haven't been a top UFA destination until last summer basically.
All we could do for the first few years is a) trade one of our roster player for something equivalent... which would just create another hole in our lineup b) make low risk high rewards trades. Which almost all the trades we made were great trades on paper, and almost all of them didn't pan out, it's insane. c) sign free agents... for the first few years all we could get were guys with something to prove. And 7 years of drafting. Even winning 2 lottery, one of them is playing his first good season THIS YEAR and the other one is a very underwhelming first overall, not his fault our ours, we made the good pick based on what we knew then. McLeod wasnt supposed to be much, Zacha was the last Conte pick, he should have been fired a decade before. The rest of our picks are still too young or not even in our lineup. So again, realistically, it was going to take a long fvcking time to rebuild from nothing and we needed luck to go our way a lot more than it did.

Rob Mallory Named Missouri Southern State University's Director of Athletics
April 16, 2021 Erin Slifka Education 0
(Joplin, MO) – Rob Mallory has been named director of athletics for Missouri Southern State University. Mallory, who will start on July 1, will become Missouri Southern's sixth athletics director.
Mallory comes from Kentucky Wesleyan, a NCAA Division II Institution that includes 21 varsity sport programs, where he served as vice president of intercollegiate athletics. He was promoted to this position in January 2021 after serving as director of athletics since May of 2015. Prior to that, he served as associate director of athletics at NCAA Division II Quincy University (Illinois) from July 2010 through June 2015 where he directed a comprehensive compliance program as the senior compliance officer. Mallory spent three years from 2007-10 at NCAA Division I University of Evansville (Indiana) as the director of marketing and ticket services.
"MSSU has a proud history of success in competition, in the classroom, and in the community," said Mallory. "I am honored to be chosen to now lead those efforts as its next director of athletics. I want to thank Dr. Van Galen and the search committee for this tremendous opportunity."
During Mallory's last five years at Kentucky Wesleyan, he oversaw an overall increase in revenue for his department through the development and streamlining of athletic giving with the Panther Athletic Fund. Updates and renovation plans for all athletic facilities at Kentucky Wesleyan were started with his oversight.
Kentucky Wesleyan athletic programs expanded during his tenure with the addition of four new programs. The Panthers have also flourished in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, winning five conference titles and making six appearances in the NCAA Tournament. In the classroom, 16 programs (of 19) maintain a cumulative GPA above 3.0, while one third of all student-athletes earned Academic All-Conference honors for the 2019-20 academic year.
In 2019, Mallory was appointed to the NCAA Division II National Football Committee for a four-year term, which followed three-year terms serving on the NCAA Division II Regional Advisory Committee for football and baseball.
"I am excited to welcome Rob Mallory to Missouri Southern and Lion Athletics," said Dr. Dean Van Galen, MSSU president. "Rob brings to MSSU extensive experience and a record of success as an athletics administrator at the NCAA Division II level. He is a thoughtful, principled, and collaborative leader who will advance athletes and positively contribute to the university's future."
Interim Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Julie Wengert, served as chair of the search committee. Other committee members included Director of Athletic Internal Operations Karesa Burr, Head Baseball Coach Bryce Darnell, Dean of the Plaster College of Business and Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Jeff Zimmerman, Lionbacker Steering Committee President Alan Cook, Director of Annual Giving Elisa Bryant, Volleyball Head Coach Kalie Mader, Softball student-athlete Abby Atkin and men's basketball student-athlete Christian Bundy. Missouri Southern received 90 official applications and dozens more inquiries about the position.
"We were extremely pleased with the candidate pool," said Wengert. "Dr. Kurt Patburg, senior vice president of Athletics Staffing Consultants, supported our committee on the front end of this process, which helped us build both a diverse and quality candidate pool of applicants."
"It was important to establish a diverse search committee with representation from key areas of campus who work directly with the department of athletics. Each member brought a unique and passionate perspective to the table, which produced rich discussion throughout the process. The committee devoted a tremendous amount of time and energy to this process, thoroughly vetting all of the candidates and bringing in a strong group of finalists for on-campus interviews."
"I look forward to working with the entire campus community to build an even brighter future for Lions athletics," he said.
Mallory graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.B.A. in management information systems and served as the head football manager in 2001. He earned a master's degree in sport administration from Xavier University in 2007.
He and his wife, Holly, have two children, Lilly and Mitchell.
Mallory will be formally introduced at an upcoming press conference. Details will be released at a later time.

The year is 1989 and Mark Doty's life has reached a state of enviable equilibrium. His reputation as a poet of formidable talent is growing, he enjoys his work as a college professor and, perhaps most importantly, he is deeply in love with his partner of many years, Wally Roberts. The harmonious existence these two men share is shattered, however, when they learn that Wally has tested positive for the HIV virus. From diagnosis to the initial signs of deterioration to the heartbreaking hour when Wally is released from his body's ruined vessel, Heaven's Coast is an intimate chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts. We witness Doty's passage through the deepest phase of grief — letting his lover go while keeping him firmly alive in memory and heart — and, eventually beyond, to the slow reawakening of the possibilities of pleasure. Part memoir, part journal, part elegy for a life of rare communication and beauty, Heaven's Coast evinces the same stunning honesty, resplendent descriptive power and rapt attention to the physical landscape that has won Doty's poetry such attention and acclaim.Author Biography: Mark Doty is the author of five poetry collections and the memoir Heaven's Coast, which won the PEN/ Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. He is the recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Witter Bynner Prize for Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and the T. S. Eliot Prize. He has also been a finalist for the National Book Award and has received numerous other grants for his work.

For a while there has been a debate of whether climate change and the current global warming phenomenon is real. The slow changing nature of climate may have facilitated part of the reluctance and opposing views on the subjects but not anymore. The data that has been collected over the past decades and evidence of the climate change is unequivocal. The present driving factor of climate change is the greenhouse effect. This is the retention of the earth's heat radiating back to the space by greenhouse gasses found in the lower atmosphere. These gases block the heat from going to outer space absorbing it in their molecules. They then re-emit this heat in all directions resulting in warmer earth surface and lower atmosphere temperatures. The greenhouse gases include Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, CFCs and Nitrous Oxide.Human activity has been found to account for over 90 percent of the current increase in global warming. Industrial activities and daily live activities see the increase in the greenhouse gasses emissions. Natural factors that contribute to climate change include volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, sun irradiance.
In the last century, sea levels rose by 8 inches. The last two decades however have seen the rise in sea levels almost double up that of the last century. Two main factors largely contribute to increase in sea levels; Global warming and the melting of ice sheets and glaciers. Global warming results in the sea expansion as they absorb Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere increasing the water mass and thus the ocean levels. The melting ice also find their way to the water bodies causing a surge in the sea level.
The ocean absorbs about 90% of extra heat in the climate. An increase in the global temperatures results in in warmer oceans. Warm ocean temperatures not only affect the sea temperatures they also impact on the ocean currents which can largely change the weather of the surrounding land mass. Warm oceans also melt the underside of the Antarctic ice sheets and account for a larger portion of the rapid depletion of the ice shelf mass loss.
Another aspect of climate change has been the shrinking ice sheets and glaciers. Data from NASA shows that between 2002 and 2006, Greenland lost between 150-250 cubic kilometers of ice per year. Antarctica lost about 152 kilometers of ice during the same period. Arctic ice on the other hand is now declining at the rate of 13.3 percent per decade. All these figures show how the past 20 years have seen a surge in climate change and its effects.
The major basis of the current climate change is the increase in global temperatures. Since the 19th Century the earth's surface temperatures have increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius. The warmest years recorded have come in the last 35 years the years since 2001 making up the sixteen of the warmest years on record.
The change in climate has seen high frequencies of extreme weather. There has been a change in the frequency and strength of hurricanes, storms and tornadoes with warm currents fueling this up. The increase in temperature has also resulted in an increase of humidity in other areas causing flooding on a more frequent basis. On the other hand, they warmer temperatures have resulted in higher evaporation rates and also magnified La Nina effects causing famine and pro-longed drought in other areas.These changes have a dangerous effect on both human, animal and plant life on earth. Some of the effects include the following;Death of ocean life due to melting ice and high acidification levels. The krill which many of the fishes in water feed on breed in the cold waters near sea ice. The melting of sea ice and rising temperatures has seen massive depletion of krill population. The huge levels of carbon dioxide in the oceans also result in shell corrosion for many animals as others die when they fail to adapt. Coral reefs are also suffering from the acidification as they are starved and they die off due to coral bleaching.
It is estimated that over 600, 000 deaths are recorded every year due to climate change. Leading causes include floods and hurricanes, droughts, and heat waves which have become more common.Migration of animals from their habitats as others face extinction. Animals on land also have been faced with death as their natural habitats like forests and ice masses are depleted or become in conducive for their life. The golden toad became the first animal to go extinct due to climate change while the polar bear has become the first animal to be added on the endangered species list due to climate changes.

These Songs Topped The Charts In July 40 Years Ago. Can You Name Them All?
By Matt | Jun 30, 2017
The Billboard Music Charts have been collecting and ranking the most popular music in America for decades now, and you can often get a glimpse into not only the tastes of the time, but sometimes the entire culture.
With that in mind, let's jump back 40 years and see what everyone was listening to in July 1977!
July 2, 1977 - Bill Conti, "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky)"
Rocky was one of the biggest hits of 1976, earning hundreds millions of dollars at the box office and winning three Oscars. Apparently people weren't done with Rocky fever yet, as Bill Conti's iconic opening theme climbed to the top of the charts a full 7 months after the film's release!
Oscar Champs
The song itself needs no introduction. At some point in your life, you've heard it. It still holds up amazingly well to this day.
July 9, 1977 - Alan O'Day, "Undercover Angel"
45cat
Released without much fanfare or even an album to accompany it, "Undercover Angel" nonetheless went Gold in the US and in Australia. It would be California-born singer-songwriter Alan O'Day's first and only #1 hit.
Click to the next page for even more hits from July 1977!
July 16, 1977 - Shaun Cassidy, "Da Doo Ron Ron"
Yes, you read that correctly. That is actually the name of the song. No, I did not make this up.
In fact, this version is actually a cover! The original "Da Doo Ron Ron" was written by music mogul (and convicted murderer) Phil Spector for the American girl group The Crystals in 1963. The title was just gibberish made up to temporarily represent the beat of the song, but Spector ended up deciding to keep it.
Suddenly the title makes sense. Newsweek
This particular version launched the career of teen idol Shaun Cassidy, who would go on to have three consecutive #1 hits and later a career in acting, producing, and writing for TV!
July 23, 1977 - Barry Manilow, "Looks Like We Made It"
The leading single off This One's For You, Manilow's fourth album, this subtly melancholy reflection on two lovers finding happiness with other people would be one of the three singles that lead to it going Triple Platinum!
It was co-written between Manilow and songwriter Will Jennings, who would go on to pen, among many other hits, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" for the movie Titanic.
July 30, 1977 - Andy Gibb, "I Just Want To Be Your Everything"
The first of three weeks the song spent as #1 on the charts, the youngest son of the Gibb family (whose older brothers formed The BeeGees) debuted with this single that also features his brother Barry on backing vocals.
Gibb would go on to have several other hits, but unfortunately became a very heavy drug user early in his career, which would ultimately contribute to his death of a heart condition at the age of 30 in 1988.
Do you remember any of these?

You couldn't go more than two hours without hearing one of their songs after they hit it big.But as is the case with most bands, Hootie and the Blowfish decided to take a break. In 2008, their lead singer Darius Rucker went solo, and became successful on his own. The only time the band has reunited was for Jason Aldean's High Noon Neon Tour when he was in Atlanta, but now they've decided to return in a major way. Kick your Monday off with us
Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They
The Spice Girls Announced Their Reunion Tour Dates And We Really 'Wannabe' There
It's been months and months of a "will they or won't they" debate, but we've finally got some concrete details about the Spice Girls reunion tour. It feels like every time they appear on a talk show or make a comment on Twitter they've been contradicting what the others have said, but now it's official, there's no going back, the Spice Girls are going on tour.

The Tragic Story Behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Now Those Involved Reveal What Happened
Pearl Jam is one of those iconic 90s bands that everyone remembers hearing. They were edgier than the popular music, instead fitting in alongside Nirvana in the grunge style of music that was becoming popular. Like Nirvana, Pearl Jam originated from Seattle. The band has remained extremely successful in the years since its inception, but one song they wrote definitely brought the band to the attention of a lot more people. In 1992, their song "Jeremy" was released as a part of their debut album. The song was their first foray into more story-driven lyrics, but a lot of people

The GOP senator said that Trump's unsubstantiated claim "hurts our democracy."
WASHINGTON ― Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday called on President Donald Trump to apologize for his unfounded claim that his predecessor Barack Obama ordered wiretapping on his campaign, warning that it would harm his credibility in the eyes of Americans.
Comey's refutation came after both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees announced that they could not find any evidence to suggest the existence of such activity. The House Intelligence Committee requested evidence from the Department of Justice, but the documents that it turned over did not back up Trump's claim either, the committee said.
Several House GOP members have also called on Trump to apologize. Despite the lack of evidence, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Monday that Trump will not put the issue to rest.

Tourism in Olongapo City, Philippines
Tammy Dray, Leaf Group
Olongapo City (Photo: )
Cancun, Mexico Attractions
Historical Facts About the Dominican Republic
Olongapo City, Philippines is a major city of more than 200,000 inhabitants. Olongapo didn't become an official city until 1966. Before that, it was a U.S. naval base and a municipality. Today, the area is young and vibrant but still retains the feel of a small town. While you won't find the city to be as modern as a European one, Olongapo has its charm and provides plenty of opportunities to explore and discover. Before you travel to Olongapo, always check the U.S. State Department website or the website for the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines for tourist advisories or warnings. The Philippines is considered a risky travel zone because of terrorist activity and frequent kidnappings of foreigners.
According to Lonely Planet, the Philippines offer good weather year-round. During monsoon season, which lasts from June to December, you can expect tropical storms and high waves at times, but these are occassional and unpredictable. Tourism doesn't stop during monsoon season, which is a good sign that the weather is still "acceptable." Because Olongapo is a coastal city, the chances of high waves and typhoons are higher. Temperatures are at their highest in May, when they commonly reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
City Landmarks
Olongapo has some interesting landmarks that have become major tourist attractions. One of those is Ulo ng Apo -- located in the Bajac-Bajac rotunda, it is a large sculpture depicting the head of a native chief. This is a homage to the natives who inhabited the area more than a century ago. Another landmark worth visiting is the World Peace Memorial at the entrance of the city. The memorial honors those who died in the battle of Zigzag Pass during World War II. The battle helped the Philippines regained the western shore of Manila Bay from the Japanese. The Kalaklan Bridge -- which crosses over Subic Bay and has a pedestrian lane with great views of the water -- is also worth a visit.
The Olongapo City Museum (no website; Riazl Avenue, 011-047-223-6470) chronicles the history of the city. Olongapo was the last city in the Philippines to become free of American military control. The museum showcases World War II battles in the area, as well as early development and industry. There are many displays of wax figures representing local politicians and heroes as well as workers or soldiers from the war. The Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp in the Subic Bay Forest offers you a chance to train just like you would in the military. If you just want to have fun, choose one of the half-day programs. If you truly want to experience what survival training is all about, select the multi-day package, where you will be taken into the jungle and taught how to find food and water.
Shopping and Accommodations
Despite being a large city, Olongapo feels very much like a small town when it comes to shopping. Rather than lots of large malls and urban shopping environments, Olongapo is best known for its city markets, small shops and unique shopping opportunities. The Olongapo Market is the best place to experience what the locals really eat and buy. Try haggling for prices, which is expected, and buy some produce, local souvenirs or handcrafts. If you're after electronics or brand-name items at a good price, you're better off going to Manila, which is less than two hours away.

Trailblazer becomes newest addition to Organigram suite of adult recreational cannabis brands
Brand developed in response to priorities and requests for quality value products from retail partners across the country

(the "Company" or "Organigram"), a leading licensed producer of medical marijuana, today unveiled Trailblazer, the newest addition to their portfolio of products ready for the launch of the adult use recreational cannabis market in Canada.

Trailblazer (CNW Group/OrganiGram)
Trailblazer was developed in rapid response to ongoing discussions with Organigram's jurisdictional and retail partners across Canada and their focus on offering high value offerings. "Our brand strategy is creative and thoughtful, based on a concerted effort to wholly understand our current and future customers," explains Ray Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer, Organigram.
"We always want to be nimble enough to respond to what our partners need. Across the country, the message has been clear that a high value, quality product is an important consideration for customers and an effective tool to help combat the black market for cannabis. Trailblazer delivers on both those fronts."
The brand concept behind Trailblazer is a celebration of the end of prohibition, Gracewood says.
"Forging the path to legalization has taken many years of hard work by citizens, industry and government, but here we are on the verge of a legal, adult recreational market in Canada in 2018," Gracewood says. "The brand is a celebration of that effort and a reminder to always blaze your own trail."
Trailblazer complements Organigram's premium and organic product offerings. The new product, currently planned to be sold at a slight discount to mainstream priced products across Canada, will be available in milled and pre-rolled varieties and will provide a breadth of low, mid and higher THC products. The brand's signature Prohibition Blend is a hybrid offering developed using an optimal blend of Acadia, one of the Company's best-selling sativa strains, and Critical Kush, one of the longest-standing indica strains in the Company's robust genetic library.
"We're very proud to introduce Trailblazer to the nation. It's a line of products we feel complements and showcases the strength of our cultivation capabilities and will help set a standard for exceptional value in this new regulated adult recreational market," Gracewood says.
Adult recreational use of cannabis in Canada is expected to be legalized as of October 17, 2018.
"Our recreational brand strategy incorporates the best of what we know about our current and potential customers, the industry and opportunities for growth, and the production of our premium products," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "We are proud to offer Canadians a full portfolio of product options. Each has been developed with them, and an exceptional customer experience, in mind."
Adult Recreational Preparedness Update
The Company is pleased to announce that it has shipped its first order of adult recreational use cannabis to Alberta as of Tuesday, September 25th, 2018. Currently, Organigram has supply agreements or memorandums of understanding with seven provinces including Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta, and Manitoba.
About Organigram Holdings Inc.
Organigram Holdings Inc. is a TSX Venture Exchange listed company whose wholly owned subsidiary, Organigram Inc., is a licensed producer of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in Canada.
Organigram is focused on producing the highest-quality, indoor-grown cannabis for patients and adult recreational consumers in Canada, as well as developing international business partnerships to extend the Company's global footprint.

Q: How to display outgoing diff without merges? When using mercurial, when working on a large change, I will do several commits (as safe points, or share my progress with coworkers).
Whe I am done, I want to push my changes into the main repository. Before I do that, though, I will want to do a "hg pull -u && hg merge"to get changes that occured since my last pull, and review my changes.
Because I have several changesets, running hg diff on each of those is not a good solution.
I tried running hg diff -c"outgoing() and not merge()" to only show the diff for my outgoing changesets (without merge ones, as this tends to only add noise which I want to avoid).
However, it is still not ok for me, as mercurial seems to skip some information, and I do not understand on what basis. Please refer to the scenario below:
full scenario:

hg commit -m"initial commit"

cd ..
hg clone base clone
cd base
#update ref repo.
echo "foo" >> 1.txt
hg commit -m"update file on remote repository"

#make changes locally
cd ../clone
echo "foo" >> 2.txt
hg commit -m "update initial file"

Thanks a lot in advance.

A: I think the problem is a misunderstanding of what hg diff -c aka hg diff --change does.  It takes a single revision id and shows you the change made by that one revision relative to its left parent.
You're calling:
hg diff -c"outgoing() and not merge()"

which yields multiple revisions (it's a revision set), but only one of them is being used.  You're essentially seeing the output of:
hg diff --change 120a0b8a0ede

If what you're trying to do is see all of your outgoing changes lumped together in one diff you don't want --change/-c.
If you think about it the revset outgoing() could contain many changeset from many branches so smooshing them all into one diff isn't necessarily possible at all.
If the view you're trying to get is "how does the most recent head on branch default locally compare to the most recent head on default remotely" you need to know the node id of the most recent head on default, and then locally you'd just run:
hg diff node_id_of_most_recent_head_on_default_at_remote_site

A: This isn't guaranteed, as I expect that there's some way to have a change graph where the last public ancestor isn't the change-set you're after, but...
> hg diff -r "last(ancestors(.) and public())"
diff -r 5579be654db4 2.txt

Yoga therapy is known to cure asthma and not just manage it. In particular, it lessens the allergic reaction in your lungs.
You are able to control your breathing much better as breathing very fast is one of the major problems of an asthma patient. Although you are breathing fast, the oxygen is not being absorbed by your body. Practising slow breathing would not only improve your breathing but also allow you to control it better. You do not breathe quickly even if you are not inhaling enough air.
Asthma patients tend to hold their breath for long in an attempt to get more oxygen out of the air that they have inhaled. This can aggravate the condition as this puts more pressure on your internal organs. You are able to take breathe from the diaphragm which helps you in getting used to taking deep and more relaxed breaths.
The severity of an asthma attack, if and when it happens, can be significantly reduced if you have been practising Yoga. Although one should never make the mistake of ignoring asthma medication, Yoga can help to calm and de-stress your body and prevent the severe impact of an asthma trigger. Moreover, if you get an asthma attack, the practice of slow breathing would help you survive the complication posed by constricted airways much better.
A functional advantage of yoga is having control over your nervous reflexes. This facilitates you to lessen the excessive movement of the parasympathetic nerves.
Benefits of yoga and its asanas can be varied. They not only help in calming down the stressed muscles in your chest so that you can breathe more effortlessly but they also discharge the energy blocks. Overturned asanas also deplete mucus from your lungs.
Meditation aids in calming you and complements your mind and your body.
Pranayama also transports numerous benefits. Pranayama brings deeper advantages than the simple involuntary result of exercising the lungs.
Asthma makes the patients hold too much air in the lungs and also breathe quickly. Both these complications put undue pressure on the heart and lungs. In order to control this, you should practice the Bhrastika Pranayama, which is deep breathing but time yourself to 12 or lesser breaths a minute. Including these breathing exercises in your daily life, you would surely lessen the strains on your heart and lungs.

Here is another great stir fry from Skinny Kitchen—this one with a Thai flair. I've made a few changes (surprise!) by adding broccoli—because I had some, and I'm always trying to get more green veggies into us. I was going to make the cauliflower rice since it's quite easy with a food processor, but our grocery store was completely out of cauliflower! Fortunately I found frozen cauliflower rice (albeit with the addition of peas and carrots) and that made this a very quick weeknight meal.
We really enjoyed this (hubby had seconds!) and didn't miss having it served over regular rice although you could do that if you wanted.
Mix together the sauce ingredients and microwave for one minute.
Add olive oil to pan and heat. Add red pepper and onions and stir fry until wilted.
Add cauliflower rice and stir fry until cauliflower is soft--approximately five minutes.
Add broccoli and stir fry for one minute or until broccoli is cooked.
Add chicken and sauce and stir fry until heated through.
Berkley Prime Crime is having a sale! The e-book versions of two of my books are now only $2.99!
The sauce sounds particularly tasty.
I suspect that Asians would be amused at the idea of cauliflower "rice".
Yes, I suspect they would!
I love the idea of cauliflower rice already in the package, Peg! The recipe looks lovely too.
Having it in the package definitely made it easier and quicker!
Thank you for teaching me another way to make chicken. I and my Wok thank you.
Nora, I think you will enjoy this! The flavor is great, and you can put it together fairly quickly.


I had been searching hi and lo for a copy of the elusive Australian Frankie magazine for a while and FINALLY found a copy a couple weeks ago. I was excited, but little did I know just how perfect this magazine is for me.
1. Even just a small blurb about Audrey Kawasaki gets me excited.
2. Seeing a fun article and photo of my friend, Ben Kweller, who is a seriously crazy talented musician and all-around amazing guy.
3. I LOVE owls too!
4. Flowy, gathery smock tops.
5. There is a Sarah McNeil (maker of two bunny works that I now own) article and pull-out poster.
This is not to mention the perfect cover with sweet pintuck blouse, the article on Audrey Hepburn's movies (Must see – Paris When It Sizzles), or the recipe for Chorizo Potato Salad (I really like potato salad).
I'm excited for issue #29. And the long weekend. the workroom will be closed on Sunday for the holiday, so I will have two days off in a row. All day gardening is on the agenda!
I didn't knew it, but what you says and show makes me want to have it! I wonder where I coudl find it….
i spotted frankie at aritzia many months ago but i had never picked it up to look through it.
they also have a cookbook called 'afternoon tea' that looks pretty sweet.
Oh, I love Audrey Kawasaki, Ben Kweller, owls and Sarah McNeil!
Paris When it Sizzles is worth seeing for the interior of the hotel room it's (mostly) set in alone!
you're friends with ben kweller? whoa! i like his music a lot!
a] i will bring you Paris When it Sizzles on the next "look at my haircut" visit. and b] NERDS!
oh! one of the sectaries at my workplace has Nerds Jellybeans and oh my goodness, were they a treat!

Who's the Racist?:Mother calls man N word in front of Kids
Take a good look people. Take a real good hard look of racism in it's true raw form.
On May 30, 2014, Ms. Janelle Ambrosia ( a stripper) with her two children had a verbal altercation with an unknown driver who videotaped the exchange outside a Cheektowaga, NY Dollar General. What we don't see is what took place before the blatant spewing of ignorance being shouted in front of the children.
We started to post this story yesterday, but the sheer atrocity of the Cotton Gin factory trumped the story; however, we both sides story of what happened and so we have to address this blatant act. Before you watch the video this is the unedited full video and contains language unsuitable for children or the workplace.
The video starts with the black man (Narvell Benning) doing a narration: "I have this lady on tape calling me racist comments calling me a N****r in front of her kids" The lady later, identified as Janelle Ambrosia, states "you scared my kids" which the occupant of the vehicle responds "how by starting my car?" From this point in the video the lady proceeds to make phone call to someone, we assume her boyfriend or husband, and then she proceeds to call the man a "f-n N****r. The man repeatedly informed her that her children were present, however she seemed oblivious or did not even show concern. The woman's son then said " My dad's a cop and he hates black people too."
Really America, you are showing your a$$ lately with all these blatant acts. But as we continue to tell you, what's done in the dark will come to the light. In this day-and-age of cellphones and video cameras more stories such as this will come to light. It's not surprising, nor should it shock US, but it is shocking to those of us who say there is no racism, bigotry, or discrimination anymore and also shocking to the media and white America as how dumb could you be.
But as we stated earlier we did not know the start of the video just how it ended: but we do now. Janelle, who you will hear from as you read further, states in her phone interview the guy ruined her life after the video was posted. Her ex is taking custody of her kids and let's put it out there she may as well as retire her thong at the strip club. Who would want to see her in a thong anyway? But how did he ruin her life? Was it not she who verbally attacked him and kept on insulting and attacking him?
According to Narvell Benning, he stopped at the store to buy deodorant and was getting ready to leave the store. He saw the woman and her children walking in the distance and then proceeded to start his truck which in turn startled her little girl or boy. He states that Ms. Ambrosia came running over saying "you ignorant n*****r." He responds "what did you say to me. " He started looking for his phone and couldn't find it at first, but found it and started video tapping which is where the video starts.
Now we have heard Mr. Benning account, it is time to hear from Janelle Ambrosia.
Yesterday, June 4, 2014, Janelle Ambrosia responded live on WBLK 93.7 about the incident in Cheektowaga, NY. Janelle who on the call claims "I am not a racist! I have a black cousin" Okay stop, Stop. You have a black cousin so you automatically or disqualified from being racist?
When asked how did the word N****r come up in the first place: she responded "he just pissed me off, I am bi-polar and if you look it up N****r means an ignorant person…[okay]..it has nothing to do with race… The call continues as the DJ ask her about her son saying he "don't like y'all either…."
She claims the man called her a crack headed cracker… and claims the driver almost hit her son with his car. This is different from the story the driver states and even what she states in the original video. The teary eyed-sniffiling Janelle seems to be wanting sympathy for her actions claiming that she is "really not a racist, I was just pissed off." Pissed or not there are some words that you will never use if they are not part of your vocabulary or if you have not used them in past instances.
In his 10 minute interview with WBLK 93.7 FM, he addresses the comments Janelle alleges he called her a "crack head cracker." Benning says that he did not say those words to her and the DJ in fact says "in the last two minutes man, I just can't see you saying something like that."
Janelle who cries that she is the victim, refuses to acknowledge any wrong doing and offers no apology to Mr. Benning or even her children. It's hard to admit to something when you truly want to hide the truth and you want to lie to yourself that you are a certain way when you are not. In fact, why is that when white people get caught saying something racist that the immediately say i have black friends or my in-laws are black? Is that your only defense?
Expect to see this on an episode of Boodocks soon. There are already Facebook and Twitter accounts setup with Janelle Ambrosia being labeled as a racist. It was not Mr. Benning who caused your world to spiral downward, the hate that spewed from your mouth. Out of abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. ~ Luke 6:45
Wake the hell up.

Matt Mosher Says:
OK, let's take a giant step back here. The woman was obviously a little crazy and in a bad mood and this guy in the car purposely agitated her. He needs to man up! Is he really threatened by a woman and her kids? Really? He's a spineless worm. And furthermore, now he's trying to cash in on the video! What a piece of garbage. He sat there recording the video and kept pushing her buttons until she went nuts. He was obviously trying to set her up. This has nothing to do with racism either, it's about a guy looking to make a video for his own gain. She was angry and said things she shouldn't have. It's the guy recording the video that's making this a racism issue. That's what he kept going back to every few seconds, repeating it, when it was really about the kids being scared or whatever. He totally leaves that fact out. In fact, he's the one who is racist.
I'm going to assume that you are not black! First of all, how was she antagonized in any way? You also can't use mental illness as an excuse for the hate she spewed, in fact there's no excuse for the hate she spewed. There is no way you could defend her unless you have the same feelings about minorities that she did, and if that's the case don't be a closet racist please because it's insulting to our intelligence. The word "Nigger" triggers very strong emotions within an African American because as I'm sure you know it's the word the slave masters came up with to show dominance, power, and just to generally convince themselves that they were better than blacks. What happened was she showed her true colors and now wants to play victim, because she doesn't have the backbone to stand by the whole world knowing she's racist. It's easy for people to defend her behind a keyboard, but these are also the same people who wouldn't dare do it face to face or in a public space. Racists need to sit down and think logically about what they are promoting, because to me every racist wants to feel superior for some reason and it's usually something they are lacking within themselves.
Ashley Campbell Says:
Ohh wtf ever Matt! If she was a REAL woman/ Mom, she would havr never acted that way in front of her CHILDREN!!!! If it wasn't about racism, why in the hell would her little boy say dome racist shit. White people are so much in denial it's nit even funny. I'm white and was raised to respect any race. If she had any respect for herself she would have walked away. Clearly she is the ignorant one!


The crude oil from the well is not practically used. It is transformed into necessary products in oil refinery plants. Primary treatment processes do not change oil chemical structure but means its physical separation into fractions.
At first they remove mechanical impurities and dissolved gases from oil, clear of excess salt and water in electric desalinating installations. At the same stage they also define properties of raw materials.
Then oil enters rectification columns on atmospheric distillation where it is divided into some fractions: light and heavy gasoline fraction, kerosene fraction, a diesel fraction and an atmospheric distillation residue – fuel oil. The quality of the fractions does not satisfy the requirements for commodity oil products, that's why fractions are subjected to further (secondary) processing.
The purpose of refining is production of petroleum products such as fuel (automotive, aviation, boiler) and raw material for subsequent chemical processing.
Gasoline, kerosene, diesel oils and industrial oils are subdivided into various brands depending on chemical composition. The final stage of production is obtained mixture of the received components to produce the finished product of the demanded structure. With the rapid development of the world's chemical and petrochemical industry, oil demand is increasing not only in order to increase production of fuels and oils, it is also as a source of valuable raw materials for the production of synthetic rubber and fibers, plastics, surfactants, detergents, plasticizers, additives, dyes.
Oil refining is removal of undesirable components from petroleum products, adversely affecting the operational properties of fuels and oils.
Chemical refining is made by the action of various reagents on the removable components of treated products. The easiest way of purification is made by 92-96% sulfuric acid or oleum. It is used to remove unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Physic-chemical treatment is performed by using solvents that selectively remove unwanted components from the refining product, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur and nitrogen compounds from oil distillates.
At the adsorption purification they remove unsaturated hydrocarbons, pitches, acids from petroleum. Adsorptive purification is carried out by contact of heated air with adsorbents or a product filtration through adsorbent grains. Catalytic purification is hydrogenation under mild conditions that used to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds.


Derek Blanks/Interscope/UniversalKeyshia Cole has released new music ahead of her upcoming, seventh album.
On Monday, the singer surprised fans with a buzz track called "Don't Waste My Time," which features Young Thug and production from London on Da Track. The song, posted on her SoundCloud page, finds Keyshia declaring that she needs a real man in her life.
"So don't waste my time 'cause I don't have it for you/You're blowing mine, playing with my mind," KC sings on the bouncy track.
Keyshia's follow-up to last year's Point of No Return will mark her first independent release since parting ways with Interscope Records.
In related news, the singer has a show lined up with R. Kelly on October 2 in her hometown of Oakland, California at the Oracle Arena.
