Mohammed insisted again and again, almost every day of his life, "I am just a messenger, a paigamber. Don't worship me, I have just carried a message from the divine. Don't look at me, look at the divine who has sent the message to you." But Mohammedans have forgotten the source. Mohammed has become important, the vehicle.
Says Chuang Tzu:
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
A man who has forgotten words, he is worth talking to, because he has the innermost reality, the center of being within him. He has the message. His silence is pregnant. Your talking is impotent. What are you doing when you are talking? You are not saying anything in particular. You have got no message, nothing is to be delivered. Your words are empty, they don't contain anything, they don't carry anything. They are just symbols. And when you are talking you are simply throwing out your rubbish. It may be a good catharsis for you, but for the other, it can be dangerous. How can you talk with a person who is filled with words? Impossible. The words don't give space, the words don't give any opening. The words are too much, you cannot penetrate.
To talk with a man who is filled with words is almost impossible. He cannot listen, because for listening one should be silent, for listening one should be receptive. Words don't allow that - words are aggressive, they are never receptive. You can talk but you cannot listen, and if you cannot listen, your talk is the talk of a madman. You are talking and not knowing why, you are talking and not knowing what. You go on talking because it gives you a sort of release.
You feel good after having a good chitchat. You feel good because you are relieved; your talking is part of your tensions. It is not coming from you, it is just a disturbance; it is not a song, it has no beauty of its own. That's why whenever you talk you simply bore the other. But why is he listening? He is not listening, he is just waiting to bore you, waiting for just the right moment when he can take the reins in his hands.
I have heard.
It happened once that a great leader, a great politician, was speaking, and he spoke and spoke and it was getting near midnight. By and by the audience left until only one person was left in the hall. The leader thanked him and said, "You seem to be the only authentic follower the only lover. I feel grateful to you. Everybody has left, and you are still here."
The man said, "Don't be deceived, I am the next speaker."

Video: Braxton Miller leaves walk-on hanging after beating Wisconsin
Braxton Miller made his triumphant return to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday against Wisconsin after missing nearly three full games with an injured knee. The quarterback threw four touchdown passes in engineering a 31-24 win over the Badgers.
After the big win over Bucky, there were high-fives all around – except for walk-on quarterback Reid Worstell.
Miller ain't got no time for walk-ons.

Thank you, Mr. President.
The United States is pleased to introduce for adoption Resolution L.2/rev.1 on "Freedom of Opinion and Expression: mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression."
This resolution has 72 co-sponsors. As the resolution on this topic adopted by the Council did three years ago, the current resolution would extend the mandate of the Special Rapporteur for another period of three years.
Given the importance of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, the resolution recognizes that the effective exercise of this right is a critical component for the enjoyment of other human rights and fundamental freedoms, and that it constitutes a fundamental pillar of any democratic society.
Welcoming the work of the Special Rapporteur, the resolution urges all States to cooperate with and assist the Special Rapporteur in carrying out this important mandate, including by considering favorably requests for visits and by implementing recommendations.
An amendment to the text, L43, has been tabled by South Africa and others. It is acceptable to us. We thus accept the resolution tabled as L.43 and incorporate it as a revision into the text of the resolution under consideration. Thus the PP3 reads as follows.
Recalling Human Rights Council resolutions 5/1, on the institution-building of the Council, and 5/2 on the code of conduct for special procedures mandate holders of the Council, of 18 June 2007, and stressing that the mandate holder shall discharge his/her duties in accordance with those resolutions and the annexes thereto.
We urge the Council to adopt this resolution extending the mandate of the Special Rapporteur by consensus.
Thank you.

Bas QUARTER WATER RAISED ME VOL. II SIGNED COPY
Blessed enough to get to meet Bas and most of the Dreamville crew, and was lucky enough at the time to scoop a signed CD copy of Bas's tape.
Untouched, unused, and as much as I'm a fan of Bas, I'm sure there's someone out there who would love this more than me as he continues to grow in popularity.
Hit me up about the CD, looking to get it out for a low price to someone who deserves it.

Getting kids off the couch and out playing in their community was the idea behind a new initiative in Omaha called "Play Streets." The first event took place Sunday at Aksarben Village.
Usually 67th and Center is packed with vehicles, but it was closed down and instead packed with children and their parents. "We are enjoying the good weather and get the kids out of the house and have some fun," said Kristen Barnes of Omaha. Her daughter Maddie decided to take on rock climbing. "It was kind of like a fun time."
From hula hoops to four square and hopscotch, there was something for everyone. The activities were part of the YMCA Healthy Kids Day and Play Streets. "It is so important to get people out and active," said the YMCA's Angie Frderick. "Physical activity helps in so many ways both cognitively and physically."
This was the first of four Play Streets planned in Omaha through the summer and it's all thanks to a federal grant. Omaha was one of only a few cities to receive that grant. All the kids seemed to love the idea.
"You guys want to go do something else?"
Parents loved it, too. "I think it's a great idea, I think our kids are indoors a lot and this shows them that there are other things to do," said Angie Lux. Many are looking forward to the next one. The other Play Streets will take place in south Omaha, downtown and north Omaha.

Oil can or bottle
- THoey1963 Dec 11, 2012 04:03 PM
I am looking for something that I can keep olive oil in and be able to pour into pans as needed. I checked with the local W&S and they say they only sell this fancy $100 stainless steel one which is more than I want to spend. I hate pouring out of the bottle as I usually pour too much. Bought a pour spout like you would see in a bar on a liquor bottle, but sizes vary this one doesn't fit my bottle. Looking for something simple and not ugly looking.
Any suggestions?
I use a red wine bottle. the pour spout should fit that and when it gets a bit grimy just get another. Of course that means you have to empty a bottle of red wine. That's the fun part! I use the red wine bottles because the glass is darker
I assume you mean extra virign olive oil. For extra virgin olive oil, stainless steel is not a bad choice, but glass is just as good if not better (and usually cheaper). Even plastic may not be a bad idea. Ultimately, you want something which does not alter or react with the oil.
I have something very inexpensive, and work well for regular cooking oils:
However, if you are looking for extra virgin olive oil, I would pick something like
re: Chemicalkinetics
I've been using one just like the first one linked here for a few years and I like it very much. The only "issue" with it is the top is sort of small, so you do need to use a funnel to put the oil in, unless you have a very steady hand, and you cross your fingers that there's no "glug" that happens.
re: juliejulez
Yes, I have the first one too, and I have been using a few years as well. It pours/dispenses out the oil at about the right speed -- for me for cooking.
I know exactly what you mean by "the top is sort of small". It does look small, and I was concern about oil spilling out when I had to refill the bottle. However, I have been having no issue thus far. I have to credit the oil bottles I have been using -- not this oil dispenser, but the oil containers from the stores. Many of them have very nice pourers which allow the oil to pour out in a narrow/focus steam.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks! That first link is perfect for what I wanted.
re: THoey1963
My pleasure. Good luck.
A friend and local potter makes bottles with pour spouts for olive oil if you'd be interested. I can send along contact info if you'd like. Photo of her work attached.
re: Leepa
I have a ceramic bottle and plate... very kitschy and bright with olives and tomatoes on it. I got it years ago from one of those school fundraiser catalog things when a co-workers son was raising funds for his soccer team. I love it and would be heartbroken if I broke it. I googled around and this was the closest thing I found:
(Mine cost < $15 for the bottle and the plate!)
It's great having the plate, because it catches any drips.
I use a very pretty pressed glass bottle that a friend gave me years ago. I've seen some like it at Old Time Pottery or Garden Ridge...one of those big housewares warehouses. ;-)
It is tall like a wine bottle and takes the pour spout like a liquor bottle.
Bed Bath & Beyond has decent olive oil and vinegar glass bottles that you can buy as part of a pair or separate for about $4. It's how I make my college kitchen look fancy :)
Did hand-painted bottle for vinegar and olive oil as gifts a few years ago... bought bar-type stoppers/pourers... still being used in kitchens they went into.
I'm like most of the posters below. Use a pour spout that bars would use (don't use a metal one, it tends to get somewhat funky, use a plastic one), and stick it into whatever loose empty bottle you have around. (Old wine bottles, et al). My present olive keeper bottle is an empty Sabra cordial bottle. Looks pretty cool. Certainly don't need to spend money on something to keep olive oil in.
re: GH1618
I am a re-bottler as well. Found oil in the store that was in a bottle I liked. Used the oil and kept the bottle.
Free is good.
One like this is best because any drips run back into the bottle and not down the side.
All the olive oil cans I've used eventually got dirty enough in places that I could not wash that I threw them out. Now I use a small glass bottle that one housed cream. They work pretty good for making salad dressing also.
Pro: Wide top, plastic top available, "pouring lip" that is easy to wipe clean, easy to wash by hand or in dishwasher. Con: clear glass promotes oxidation.
I use and reuse a bottle like this: http://www.luigismailorder.com/produc... It has a pour spout on each side, is dark to help reduce oxidation and seems to provide a reasonable amount of control when pouring.
The one thing I will say, is that I doubt it makes much difference if oil is stored in a metal or glass, but if it sits out, I would go for dark glass or opaque.
It's almost Christmas - maybe you will get an olive oil cruet from some distant relative who recalls that you cook.. I've received several over the years.
If not, they can be purchased almost everywhere.
Bed Bath & Beyond sell olive oil bottles with spouts - some are decorative and some are plain glass.
This has an advantage:
The little hinged flap seals (ok, not perfectly) the bottle, reducing air circulation and therefore oxidation. Some other suggestions here also do this, but with this one it's all one handed, which I often find very useful when at the stove. And no oily stopper to put somewhere.
Edit: Ah...... I now see that Chem's second link does a similar job.
re: Robin Joy
Agree. I think (a) a sealer, and (b) a dark color bottle are important to reduce oxidation from the oil and from the light, respectively. This I think is more important for extra virgin olive oil than say Canola oil.
re: Robin Joy
Hello, Robin:
This is much like the one I am using at present, and like it. Although it fits any old small-format wine bottle, I use the 375ml and even smaller "splits" to reduce oxidation even further. And I try to top up my olive oil containers like I do my wine barrels.
The only issue I have with these is they can pour slowly, depending on the diameters of the pour and vent tubes.
Overall, these in a very dark glass wine bottle are a really good, inexpensive solution.
I had a similar problem because we buy olive oil in 2 or 3 liter bottles. I was pouring the oil into smaller bottles, but the pour spout was in the way and the cap needed to be removed and replaced each time the oil is used. I solved the problem with a .99¢ plastic squirt bottle.
The squirt bottle allows for easy control of how much oil is dispensed (not to mention cheap).
re: John E.
I so wanted to mention this as well. I love the way how these $1 plastic "squeezable" bottles work. They are inexpensive, easy to fill, easy to clean, and increditably easy to control -- the speed of the oil comes out can be controlled by the pressure of the squeeze.
The only criticism is that some believe the plastic can give off plastic favor which can ruin the taste of the unique favor oil like extra virgin olive oil. For regular cooking oil like corn oil or peanut oil, I don't see any problem of using these bottles. Afterall, the cooking oils are often sold in plastic bottles anyway.
re: Chemicalkinetics
We only put olive oil for cooking in these bottles. The expensive, extra-virgin stuff stays in the bottle for which it was intended. I haven't noticed any plastic flavors however. I did notice that the outside of the bottle can sometimes get a little greasy and leave an 'oil ring'. I solved that by taking a paper towel, folding it and wrapping it around the plastic bottle and holding it in place with a rubber band. Of course this would not be needed if I was more careful when refilling.
re: John E.
<I haven't noticed any plastic flavors however>
Me neither, and considered that most of my cooking oils come in plastic bottles anyway, it is a moot point. Great suggestion for bringing this up.
Check a thrift store. I found a gorgeous cobalt blue glass bottle with a pour spout at Goodwill for 99 cents. My husband thought I was crazy at the time, but it works.

NASHVILLE — Senate disagreement today over how best to combat illegal production of methamphetamine in Tennessee resulted in the forced delay of a proposed electronic tracking system.
Senators voted 18-12 to delay the measure, sponsored by Sen. Mae Beavers, R-Mt. Juliet, for a week.
The system is being promoted by pharmaceutical manufacturers and the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, who don't want to see cold medicine made with pseudoephedrine — one of the key ingredients in meth — turned into prescription-only drugs.
Some lawmakers, however, supported that plan.
During debate, Sen. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, a pharmacist, said the industry-backed tracking bill doesn't appear to solve Tennessee's meth problems.
"I feel at least in my area, law enforcement would like to see pseudoephedrine made a controlled substance. I would favor the approach that they take," McNally said.
As the debate continued, Beavers told colleagues "this is a serious bill. I don't think you need to question it."
She rejected requests to delay the measure, resulting in the vote forcing the delay.

Idiot. That would create yet another black market drug that will get people killed. Meth is already illegal, what the hell difference would it make to have a key ingredient made illegal? The key ingredient in Heroin is Opium. It's illegal...I have some. What's the point?

Because horse is a tall animal. When I come sitting on a horse everybody is able to look at me. I could have been made to sit on any other animal like an elephant or cow. But then Elephant are expensive and cannot be easily domesticated and cow doesn't have the elegance of a horse. Moreover if the Cow happens to be a black one or a buffalo then I may get mistaken for an Yama Raj (in case of horse no such confusion koyi bhi color ka ghoda challega). Of course I can be made to stand in an open jeep, in that case people will mistake me to be a political leader on an election campaign. If I am made to ride standing in a Toyota Car with the hood partly open with just my face protruding out then there is a good chance of me hitting my head against the lever while ducking in case I get scared of the crackers that the Bharathis will be bursting (if you don't believe this is possible then make a call to the ISI chief and he will vouch for this possibility).

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin after inhalation of single 52.5 and 48.75 mg doses in COPD patients. In this study the 48.75 mg dose will be administered for the first time using a new high dose strength (i.e. one capsule containing 75 mg powder = 48.75 mg ciprofloxacin) formulation. Safety investigations will focus on local tolerability in the lung and evaluate whether the patient can inhale the higher amount of powder compared to the lower dose strength. Pharmacokinetics is to see how the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and gets rid of the study drug. Results from this study will be used to decide whether the new dose strength is suitable for larger clinical trials planned for the COPD patients population.

Head Coach Shannon Welker
May 9, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri announced today that former Michigan assistant coach, Shannon Welker has accepted the position of Head Women's Gymnastics Coach at Mizzou. The St. Louis, Mo., native is the third head coach in Mizzou gymnastics history, and brings a wealth of experience to Columbia after spending five years as an assistant coach under Bev Plocki at the University of Michigan and nine years as the head coach and program director at the St. Louis Gymnastic Center.
During his time at Michigan, Welker was primarily responsible for coaching the vault and floor squads in addition to serving as the recruiting coordinator. Welker guided his vault squads to three top-ten finishes during his time at Michigan, and his 2012 vault team finished at No. 11 in the nation. Under his direction, the Michigan floor squads also finished among the nation's top-10 four times. As a team, Michigan closed out the 2013 season ranked at No. 7 in the nation, and Welker assisted the team to a top-15 finish in each of his seasons in Ann Arbor.
Welker has coached five gymnasts to 12 All-American honors while at Michigan including the 2013 NCAA National Floor Champion, Joanna Sampson. He also produced three NCAA Regional Championship floor title winners and back-to-back NCAA Regional Champions on vault. Four of his gymnasts won event titles at the Big Ten Championships, and Welker assisted the Wolverines to three NCAA National Championships as well.
"We are very excited about Shannon and what he brings to the table," said Director of Athletics Mike Alden. "He's a nationally-respected coach who has a combination of leadership style and recruiting abilities we're looking for at the University of Missouri. His focus on core values during his very successful time at the University of Michigan match up very well with our beliefs. We feel he's got all the tools in place to achieve great things here at Mizzou."
"My family and I are extremely excited about this opportunity to join the University of Missouri Athletics family," Welker said. "I am looking forward to leading the gymnastics program to new levels of success. It is really an ideal situation for me and my family to be able to return to our home state. We are certainly proud to be part of Mizzou's long history of athletic and academic excellence."
Before coaching at Michigan, Welker spent one year as an assistant coach at Bowling Green, where he coached two gymnasts to the NCAA Regional Championships for the first time in program history. Before working with the Falcons, Welker served as the head women's gymnastics coach and program director at the St. Louis Gymnastic Center for nine years.
A four-year competitor on the University of Illinois at Chicago men's gymnastics team, Welker served as a team captain for three years and earned NCAA All-American honors in 1996. He was also awarded UIC Athlete of the Year honors that season. Welker spent a year as an assistant men's gymnastics coach for UIC, and was also inducted into the University of Illinois at Chicago Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.
Welker earned his undergraduate degree in kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998. Welker and his wife, Molly, have two sons, Ian and Brendan.
Bev Plocki, Michigan Head Gymnastics Coach
"I am very happy for Shannon and his family. This is a great move for Shannon, his wife, Molly, and their two sons. He has done a great job for us here at Michigan and is prepared to go and be a great head coach. We wish him all the very best in his future endeavors."
Greg Marsden, Utah Co-Head Gymnastics Coach
"I've really watched Shannon develop in the NCAA over the last few years and there is no question in my mind he is one of the hottest young coaches out there right now. I think it is a great hire for Missouri, and if I were in the position, he would certainly be one of the people I would be looking at."
Jeff Graba, Auburn Head Gymnastics Coach
"I've known Shannon for quite some time, back to when he was a club coach. I think he is a great coach and I am excited to have him in the SEC."
Mark Cook, Arkansas Co-Head Gymnastics Coach
"Shannon has a lot of integrity, and he is a sharp guy. He is an up-and-coming coach in the NCAA and he has the ability to lead a program at the highest level."

Book review: Author explores developing heroic traits for Mormon youths
"THE OFFICIAL HERO'S GUIDE FOR LATTER-DAY SAINT YOUTH," by Damon Throop, Cedar Fort, $10.99, 128 pages (nf)
What does it take to be a hero? Is it super strength, speed, good looks or magic powers? Author Damon Throop shares his knowledge and experience working with Mormon youths over the years in "The Official Hero's Guide for Latter-day Saint Youth," a new book that teachers that a true hero lies in each of us.
Instead of discussing popular heroes from movies, books, television and the Internet, the book presents a chapter by chapter discussion on how youths can develop their own heroic traits. The first chapter presents a lesson on what heroic courage is and how to develop it. Several examples from the scriptures, history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and personal stories are given by the author to emphasis this thought: "Ultimately the secret to courage is little more than having a firm testimony in our Father in Heaven and in Jesus Christ."
At the end of each chapter is a silly quiz with a few questions. The questions and answers reflect the author's wry sense of humor. For example, question three from the first chapter on courage asks, "When in doubt, the courageous course should always be to?" The answers make little sense. Choices were, "a. Never walk around anything you can step under; b. Don't swear in Norwegian; c. Fan the spark; d. order the buffalo."
The best part of this book is the fantastic personal stories from the author's life. A powerful lesson in prayer and finding a pair of paychecks blown throughout the neighborhood was very inspirational. Many of the stories are quite powerful and cause moments of personal reflection and gratitude for the tender mercies of the Lord. The appendix was also a great resource. It is filled with many thoughts, stories, poems and quotes from the author's personal favorites.
The book is a quick read both inspirational and entertaining. Throop is a veteran LDS youth leader, although not formally trained as a CES professional. Reading the book feels like sitting down with your favorite uncle or aunt and listening to his life lessons and spiritual guidance.

The current method of comparing the highest dice, next highest dice, etc. could still be used to determine how many armies the attacker and defender lose. Altneratively, the dice numbers could be added and the highest number wins, removing only one army from the loser.
With this option, there will still be the element of lucky dice but the "streakiness" would be reduced.
I can pretty well see that changing the dice won't happen. Its either no dice or what we have. I just wonder if the people that are against no dice have ever tried playing Risk without dice.
Funny this game isn't called "Risk". And since when in risk do you play freestyle, and nuclear spoils?
Great addition that should be implemented.. i personally cant fucking stand the dice on this site, and as a paying customer the fact alone makes me unwilling to buy premium again.. I'm fed up with the bullshit that they bring, with a no dice option this game would be so much better, and actually rely on strategy! When the bullshit that is the CC dice get involved strategy only gets you so far..

Quote of the Day
"Obama's political style is useless, apart from becoming the first black president, saving the US from another Great Depression, succeeding at getting universal healthcare, rescuing the American auto industry, presiding over a civil rights revolution, ending two failed wars, avoiding two doomed others (against Syria and Iran), bringing the deficit down while growing the economy, focusing the executive branch on climate change, and killing bin Laden. Yes, his ethos 'sometimes' 'collides' with political success."
-- Andrew Sullivan, refuting Maureen Dowd's criticism of Obama's political style, in the post "MoDo's Pure Washingtonism."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I purchased these invitations, but had them changed from a wedding invitation to an engagement invitation. I was also able to have a line added so that I could write people's names in. They turned out just perfect. Everybody loved them. I will defiantly be using wedding paper divas for my wedding invitations etc."
"We recieved our invitations after only 5 days of submitting our final order. Our designer was very helpful and changed the invitation multiple times until we were satisfied. Great quality and great customer service!"
"We absolutely love our invitations and it was so easy to make adjustments for wording that we requested and even exact matching the colors to match our theme. These turned out great and arrived super fast."
"I requested changes many times on my digital proof. The designer made all the changes I wanted and even gave me options to choose from when I wasn't sure. Great experience!"
"These invitations are gorgeous! I was looking for an elegant wedding invitation which embodied the Vintage Romance theme that I was shooting for. I went to a few local shops and was told that the style I was looking for would cost me between $9-$12 an invite... which was just not going to happen. After a lot of frustration I found Wedding Paper Divas site and loved every sample that I ordered from them (at reasonable prices to boot!). When it came down to ordering the invite this one fit the bill beautifully. It was simple yet had a unique design and looks amazing on the black pocket folds that I ordered."

Lou Mongello has graciously given me a copy of his new book to review. The book is his, the opinion is mine.
I've been an avid listener of Lou Mongello's WDWRadio podcast for a couple of years now and really enjoy the community he's formed there. He does a great job connecting with people and connecting people with Disney.
So, as a fan of Lou's and as someone who has to visit WDW on a tight budget, my ears perked up the other night when he announced his new book, 102 Ways To Save Money For And At Walt Disney World.
Clocking in at almost 200 pages, 102 Ways leaves very few stones unturned, starting even before you make your trek down to Orlando with ways you can begin to save money at home for your trip.
I like that he gives more than one option for saving money in different areas. For example, almost every other place that offers money saving tips for WDW says that staying off property is the only way to go. On property is just too expensive. While Lou gives merit to this idea, he also explains ways that you can save money while staying on property.
I also like that he doesn't condone spending money that isn't yours (i.e. using a credit card) excessively.
While I look forward to the print version coming out (and the e-versions) because I don't usually like how PDFs flow on my tablet, I do like that he includes links to specific episodes of his podcast and other videos for the reader to gain more information on various topics.
Cory Disbrow, over at http://www.DisneyPhotographyBlog.com provided the photos for this book and they are beautiful.
Right now, you can go to http://www.disney102.com to buy and download the PDF version of the book or you can wait a little while longer for the e-book versions or the print version, but whichever version you prefer, you should definitely grab this book if you're planning a trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth.

Ryan O'Reilly has been a factor for the Avs' offense since his first year on the team. Luckily, O'Reilly has proven his worth this year after the whole contract debacle from the season before. The Avs really need to ink him to a long-term deal, seeing as he is leading the team in goals right now. After the end of this season, Factor will become a restricted free agent, and Adrian Dater (Denver Post) has already said they plan to talk about a contract after the season is over. Judging by the skill he brings to the table, there really is no reason to worry whether or not he gets re-signed. However, in the business of professional sports, you can never be too sure.
O'Reilly was drafted 33rd overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. As everyone knows, that was the same year Matt Duchene was drafted. In my opinion, that turned out to be one of the best draft classes in recent years. Tyson Barrie and Stefan Elliot were also drafted that year. O'Reilly ended up making the opening night roster for the Avalanche, and became the youngest player in Avalanche history to appear in a regular season game. He finished his rookie season with 8 goals and 18 assists. Not too bad for a young kid, eh? I believe this allowed him to mature a lot faster than other rookies, along with Duchene. To come in and be expected to produce for a team who was in a rebuild, has to be stressful on young players. Then we had the lockout shortened season, with the CBA feud in the NHL. Contract talks were put on hold then, and O'Reilly ended up going overseas to play in the KHL. O'Reilly eventually signed a 2-year offer sheet with the Flames for $10 million big ones! Luckily for us, the brass in the Avs' front office matched the offer sheet, and Ryan stayed in the burgundy and blue.
A little over a year later now, a new head coach, and front office running the show, O'Reilly seems to be happier with his new role on the wing. Whether it's with Gabe Landeskog, Matt Duchene, or Nathan MacKinnon, he produces points, and makes things happen from almost anywhere on the ice. He currently has 48 points, splitting them in half with 24 goals and 24 assists. I have seen him crash the net, embarrass defenders, deliver crushing hits, score ridiculous goals, and he is doing it all with a toothless smile on his face. This kid deserves to be paid, and it only seems right with the talent the Avalanche have. Keep him in Colorado! I for one know the fans would be happy to see him stay.
