|01.20.12 at 4:10 pm ET
Straight from the "no duh" department, but the NHL announced Friday afternoon that Bruins coach Claude Julien's staff, consisting of Julien and assistants Doug Houda, Doug Jarvis and Geoff Ward, will coach Zdeno Chara's team in the All Star Game on Jan. 29.
Daniel Alfredsson's team will be coached by John Tortorella and Todd McLellan.
Chara and Alfredsson will pick their teams in a fantasy draft on Jan. 26.
|Bruins send Jordan Caron, Steven Kampfer to Providence
|01.20.12 at 12:46 pm ET
The Bruins announced Friday that they have sent forward Jordan Caron and defenseman Steven Kampfer to Providence.
For Caron, it marks the sixth time this season that the 2009 first-round pick has been sent to the AHL. Caron has two goals and two assists for four points in 17 games with Boston this season. He has two goals and seven assists for nine points in 12 AHL games.
Providence has games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend.
|Gregory Campbell's Gordie Howe hat trick leads Bruins past Devils
|01.19.12 at 9:31 pm ET
Gregory Campbell led the way with a Gordie Howe hat trick as the Bruins got back to winning Thursday night, defeating the Devils, 4-1, in Newark, N.J.
Danius Zubrus set up Petr Sykora's 12th goal of the season late in the first period to give New Jersey the lead. The two teams played a scoreless second period before Andrew Ference tied the game with a shot from the top of the circle in the third period. Nathan Horton gave the B's their first lead of the night on the power play, scoring his third goal in the last two games.
Thirty-five seconds later, Campbell buried a rebound off a Shawn Thornton shot, giving the Bruins a two-goal lead with more than half a period left to play. Chris Kelly added an empty-netter.
Campbell's goal sealed the Gordie Howe hat trick for him, as he fought Brad Mills in the first period and assisted Ference's goal.
The Bruins will next play Saturday when they host the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers at TD Garden.
— One of the things that has made the Bruins such a good team this year has been their play in the third period — a time that they have used the period to either get leads or add to them. Thursday was no different. The B's four unanswered goals improved their third-period differential to a whopping plus-37.
— Ference's goal was his first in 25 games, but he's still been having a very good season from a statistical standpoint. Ference isn't relied upon for his scoring. His third goal of the season tied his personal best with the Bruins (he had three last season; four is his career high). Ference now has 18 points, which is the most he's had in a single season since he had 31 with the Flames in the 2005-06 season.
— The Bruins are no strangers to scoring two goals in a minute, and they did it for the 14th time this season when Campbell followed Horton's goal with a tally of his own. The shift that follows a goal is always a crucial one, and Claude Julien has often trusted the fourth line to take those important shifts. It paid off again Thursday.
— Thomas had allowed seven goals over his previous two starts entering Thursday night, but he was able to bounce back and bring his 'A' game to New Jersey, robbing David Clarkson on a rebound in the second period as one of 28 saves the reigning Vezina winner made on the night.
— David Krejci's line continued to allow goals, something Julien called the trio out for Tuesday night. Krejci won the faceoff in the Bruins' zone prior to the Devils' first goal, but Zubrus got to the puck behind the net and fed Sykora. Because Horton's goal came on the power play, he has been a minus-4 over the last three games.
— The B's had just six shots on goal in the first period for the third consecutive game. The B's have been plagued by slow starts in recent games, and though the B's came out looking less sloppy than they did Tuesday, they still need stronger starts to these contests. They have one first-period goal in the last four games.
— The Joe Corvo–Dennis Seidenberg pairing has become dangerous for the Bruins. Corvo has struggled mightily in his own zone of late, and Seidenberg has been catching some really bad bounces. The B's saw a couple of those in the second period, including one puck that bounced off Seidenberg and right to a flying Ilya Kovalchuk in the neutral zone, but neither cost the B's.
— Brad Marchand, who was playing in his first contest since being suspended five games for his hit on Sami Salo, had a rather quiet return to the lineup. The second-line winger had no shots on goal Thursday night.
|Dougie Hamilton suspended 10 games
|01.19.12 at 6:59 pm ET
The Ontario Hockey League announced Thursday that Niagara defenseman Dougie Hamilton, the Bruins' 2011 first-round pick, has been suspended 10 games.
Hamilton hit Sudbury's Michael McDonald in the head with a high elbow in last Friday's game between the IceDogs and the Wolves. Taken into consideration by the OHL was the fact that McDonald suffered a concussion on the play.
The ninth overall pick in June, Hamilton has put together a strong second season in the OHL. In 34 games, Hamilton has 13 goals and 37 assists for 50 points.
|Zdeno Chara named All-Star Game captain
|01.18.12 at 1:40 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will be the captain of "Team Chara" when the All-Star Game is played Jan. 29 in Ottawa, the NHL announced Wednesday. Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson will be the other team's captain.
As captain of one of the teams, Chara will be front and center on Jan. 26 for the league's second annual fantasy draft to determine the squads. Chara will have teammates Tim Thomas and Tyler Seguin to choose from.
|Lightning end seven-game losing streak, beat sloppy Bruins
|01.17.12 at 10:09 pm ET
The Bruins were just sluggish and sloppy enough for the Lightning to end their seven-game losing streak, as Tampa Bay defeated the B's, 5-3, Tuesday night.
Nathan Horton had two goals, but his contributions weren't enough to make up for another off-night for the Bruins.
The Lightning took the lead when Vincent Lecavalier sent a loose puck past Tim Thomas at 7:11 of the first period. Horton tied the game at 4:28 of the second, but Tom Pyatt gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead before Horton tied it once more. The Lightning then regained the lead on Ryan Malone's 10th goal of the season, but Daniel Paille scored on a shorthanded breakaway to make it 3-3 in the third period. Dominic Moore gave the Lightning the lead for good with 3:45 remaining in the game. Steven Stamkos added an empty-netter.
The Bruins now have lost two of their last three games. They will play again Thursday in New Jersey before returning home to face the Rangers.
— The B's slept through the first period, as they managed only two shots on goal during 5-on-5 play. They added four shots on two power plays, but it was a rough first 20 minutes the B's.
— It looked like more of the 2009-10 Tim Thomas for the Bruins on Tuesday. Thomas is known for his unorthodox, aggressive style, and it bit the Bruins in the rear when he got a little too aggressive on Pyatt's second goal. Thomas dove out to stop Steve Downie, and Pyatt was able to poke the puck into the net. That wasn't the lone instance in which Thomas looked shaky, but with Thomas' style of play he will occasionally have a night like Tuesday. The fact that these games have come so infrequently perfectly illustrates how impressive Thomas' last 16 months have been.
— The Bruins officially can't complain about other players diving for the rest of the season after Tyler Seguin reinvented the move on a Stamkos hook. The play occurred midway through the period, so it cost the B's a power play in which they could have taken the lead. Given that Moore scored the game-winner after the penalties, the game could have been much different.
— While David Krejci's line was on the ice for both of the Bruins' goals, it was also on the ice for Tampa's first three goals, giving Krejci, Horton and Milan Lucic all minus-1 ratings on the night.
— Claude Julien called out Horton after Monday night's game, telling reporters the right winger needed to pick his game up. Once again, Julien's words paid off. Horton, who had three shots on goal over the previous three games, had four shots on goal through the first two periods Tuesday and added his 15th and 16th goals of the year. If Horton can avoid the slumps and lethargic stretches he's been prone to, he could put up 30 goals this season. He should be a safe bet to surpass his total of 26 from last season.
— Good to see Paille with some strong finishing skills, as his back-hander past Mathieu Garon came on his second shorthanded breakaway of the night.
Earlier in the period, Paille took the puck from Eric Brewer at the blue line to give himself a shorthanded breakaway, but his wrist shot was blocked by Garon before going off the post.
|David Krejci, Patrice Bergeron, Tuukka Rask come up big as Bruins beat Panthers in shootout
|01.16.12 at 10:18 pm ET
David Krejci's point streak ended Monday, but he scored when it mattered most, beating Scott Clemmensen with a quick snap shot in the fourth round of a shootout to give the Bruins a 3-2 win over the Panthers.
Patrice Bergeron had two goals in regulation for the Bruins, giving him 11 points in seven games this month. He also scored the Bruins' first shootout goal after Benoit Pouliot and Tyler Seguin couldn't capitalize. Stephen Weiss scored the Panthers' only shootout goal.
Bergeron got the Bruins on the board just 80 seconds into the game, and though the Panthers applied heavy pressure on Tuukka Rask in the first period, they didn't see their efforts pay off until a Jason Garrison shot found its way past the Finnish goaltender. Bergeron answered back with a 5-on-3 goal, but when the second of the penalties expired, Shawn Matthias took advantage with a breakaway goal.
A hooking penalty on Bergeron 36 seconds into overtime gave the Panthers a man advantage, but the Bruins killed it off.
The Bruins will stay in Florida and face the Lightning Tuesday night at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
– Bergeron wasn't the only player to shine on his line. Benoit Pouliot once again turned in a very strong performance in place of the suspended Brad Marchand, as he forced the turnover to set up the play in the Panthers' zone in which he fed Bergeron for the game's first goal.
Tyler Seguin was masterful on the play that led to the Bruins' second goal, as he was free to roam around the offensive zone on the 5-on-3 before sending a pass to Bergeron in front.
– Not necessarily something that went right as much as it is a fun stat, but Daniel Paille picked up his first penalty of the season when he fought Ed Jovanovski in the first period. The two had words after it looked like Jovanovski got Paille up high, and they dropped the gloves shortly after. The fight wasn't anything to write home about, as it lasted just a few seconds with no solid blows landed.
– See below for the details, but Rask could have let up far more than the two goals he did considering the Panthers had four breakaways.
– The Bruins were caught snoozing in the seconds that followed Matthias' second-period penalty for delay of game. When the penalty, which gave the B's the 5-on-3 on which the B's scored their second goal, expired, Matthias jumped out of the box and took a long pass from Tomas Kopecky and beat Rask five-hole on a breakaway.
– Speaking of breakaways, the B's allowed four in the game. The first one also belonged to Matthias, who was stoned by Rask. The third came in the final minute of the game, when a long pass from Stephen Weiss to Michal Repik during a line change gave the Panthers forward a breakaway with Dennis Seidenberg giving chase. The golden opportunity was wasted, as Repik missed the net. The Panthers once again had the opportunity to seal the game in the final seconds of overtime, but Rask stopped Kris Versteeg on the breakaway.
– Some bad luck for Seidenberg of late. After Jay Harrison's game-winning goal went off the defenseman Saturday night, Jason Garrison's second-period goal came after Rask saved it and saw it go off Seidenberg and in.
Seidenberg did not skate with his usual partner in Joe Corvo Monday night. With Claude Julien shuffling the pairings, playing Seidenberg with Johnny Boyhcuk.
– While Bergeron's stats looked very good Monday, he struggled early at the faceoff dot. Bergeron, who entered Monday third in the NHL in faceoff percentage, lost 10 of of his first 15 draws but recovered to finish regulation 13-for-23 .
– Zach Hamill can't buy a goal. The rookie forward, who is still looking for his first career goal, had a good opportunity in the second period when he dove at a rebound from a Jordan Caron, and had a similar third-period opportunity. Clemmensen stopped both shots.
– Krejci saw his point streak end at 11 games, the longest such streak in the NHL this season. The Czech center had five goals and 11 assists over his career-best streak.

Comprehensive Examination for M.Ed. in Educational Leadership
All candidates for the M.Ed. or C.A.E.S. in Education Leadership must pass a comprehensive exam near the end of their program. The examination may be taken in the final semester of study or in the prior semester, so long as most of the required and foundations courses have been completed or are in process. Students must enroll in ELHE8100 (no credit, no tuition cost) during the semester in which they take the comprehensive. No student may take the exam unless they have an approved program of study on file prior to the examination.
Candidates for the degree with endorsement for Massachusetts licensure take an oral examination. Candidates for the degree without endorsement for licensure take a written examination. The goal of the examination is to demonstrate knowledge of educational leadership in a substantive manner that integrates the coursework and experiences associated with the degree program. The knowledge base for the examination is, in general, the "core" and "foundations" courses, but students are also expected to reflect the other work undertaken toward the degree. Students are expected to integrate scholarship from these courses and other elective courses in their graduate studies. There are two versions of the examination depending upon the whether the student is seeking licensure.
A. Comprehensive examination for students completing the degree with licensure.
All candidates for licensure must pass an oral comprehensive exam at the end of their program. The M.Ed./CAES licensure comprehensive exam consists of an oral presentation and defense of the student's practicum portfolio and leadership platform as required in ELHE7952 Practicum in School Principalship during the spring semester of their final year.
In the oral comprehensive examination for students seeking licensure, students will be asked to respond to the following prompts:
How was this experience informed by the theory and research in your coursework?
How does the portfolio represent your capacity to meet the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' licensure standards?
Prior to the oral comprehensive deadline and by no later than the deadline for the comprehensive exam in the semester, the student must submit one copy of the ELHE7952 Portfolio to the Seminar faculty member and one copy to the student's Supervisor in the Practicum.
The portfolio and comprehensive oral examination is assessed by two examiners: an educational leadership faculty member and the mentor practitioner who supervised the student's practicum experience. The examiners will choose elements of the student's portfolio that represent all four leadership standards to determine if the student is eligible for endorsement for principal licensure. Each student's oral presentation is rated through a three point scale (i.e. Exceptional Mastery, Mastery, Not Acceptable). Both examiners must rate the student at the mastery level or above in order for the student to pass. In the event of divergent ratings, consensus must be reached between the two examiners. If the candidate fails to achieve mastery, an additional faculty member will examine the candidate.
The oral exam will be assessed according to a rubric developed by the program faculty. Students can obtain the rubric in the semester in which they register for the exam.
B. Comprehensive examination for students completing the degree without licensure.
Students seeking a degree without licensure are asked to respond to the following prompts:
Drawing across your experiences in coursework, readings, assignments, and field experiences during your program of study, please address the following:
1. How has this program influenced your perspectives and understanding on the role of educational institutions in society and the role of leadership in educational institutions?
For students enrolled in the Dual Degree Program in Law and Education, how has this program influenced your perspectives and understanding of the relationship between the legal and educational systems?
2. What readings contribute to your perspective? How?
3. Please identify two artifacts (e.g., papers, projects, exams, blogs) that you generated in your coursework illuminate your perspectives and understanding? Please attach each artifact in an appendix to your examination paper.
Each student's examination is blind graded and is rated as either Exceptional Mastery, Mastery, or Not Acceptable. Both examiners must rate the student at the mastery level or above in order for the student to pass. In the event of divergent ratings, consensus must be reached between the two examiners. If the candidate fails to achieve mastery, an additional faculty member will read the submitted exam.
The exam will be assessed according to a rubric developed by the program faculty. Students can obtain the rubric in the semester in which they register for the exam.
You are required to:
- Abide by Boston College's Academic Integrity guidelines. Do not consult with anyone or discuss the exam while engaged in its preparation. All work submitted must be authored solely by you. Cases of academic dishonesty will be handled and penalties applied accordingly. /schools/cas/polisci/integrity.html
· Each response must be a maximum of 2,500 words. Artifacts in attached appendices should not exceed two and are not included in the word count for the exam. Note the word count at the bottom right of the last page of the response to the exam prompts.
- A reference list of at least ten references must be included in each examination; it does not count toward the word count.
· The essays should follow the APA style and manuscript guidelines. (Legal material can be cited in the format acceptable for Professor Pullin's classes.) APA guidelines include double-spacing between all lines of the manuscript, uniform margins of 1 inch at the top, bottom, right, and left of every page, numbered pages and no more than 25 lines of text on an 8 1/2 X11 inch page.
- Submit one copy of your exam with a cover page indicating your name and email address and two blind copies (no cover page and your name should not appear anywhere in the text).
- Staple all copies submitted.
- Completed exams (in hard copy) are due in Campion 135 no later than 10:00AM on the due date for that semester (see above). No late exams will be accepted. Students who submit exams after the deadline will be asked to re-take the exam at another time.
- Concerns about the exam should be directed to Professor Lauri Johnson, Program Coordinator.

What Is Your Dream Dining Setup?
Our own progression toward a well-laid, hospitable table has wended through many - it's been a tiny round one in an eat-in kitchen; it's been a glass-topped monstrosity when we lived with a pack of roommates; it's been a huge family-style board. Our dream dining room is just big enough to hold a long, long farm table - big enough to roll out Christmas cookies for 50, big enough to need benches and chairs, big enough to seat a dozen friends or more. We get greedy when we dream. Is 8' too big? 10'? How about 12'! We wouldn't mind an apartment or house that was just big enough to fit a dining room table this big and nothing else. Right now we're dreaming over these long handmade Slab Tables from BDDW, a gorgeous store that mixes up modern, American primitive, and rustic. They're located right next door to our offices in New York, so every time we walk by we give a little sigh. Good for dreaming, and for inspiration. That's our little dining room dream; who knows if it will ever come true. No matter what you dream of, it's still true that the smallest corner or TV tray can be transformed into a place of warm hospitality and good food. It's all about what you put on the table. But if you could choose any table, any setting - what would it be? A big table like this? Cut crystal? Modern dishes and beautiful flowers? Big? Little? In the kitchen or out? Tell us...

A couple of years ago when The Complex Christ came out, I plopped down some puny Canadian dollars, exchanged them for British pounds and bought the book from Amazon UK and eagerly waited for it to be shipped across the Atlantic. When it did arrive in Canada, I had to plop down some more Canadian dollars, this time to the Canadian Borders Services Agency to free it from them. After paying three times what the book cost in shipping and duties, I sat down and started reading. The book was worth the cost and the wait.
The good news is that the book is being released in North America by Baker Publishing under the name Signs of Emergence with the easy to remember subtitle, A Vision for Church That Is Always Organic/Networked/Decentralized/Bottom-Up/Communal/Flexible/Always Evolving which means no more British pounds, no more voyages across the Atlantic, and no more donations to the Canadian treasury. The author, Kester Brewin is blogging at the official Signs of Emergence weblog so you can get a feel for his thinking and writing while you are waiting for your book to arrive (it doesn't ship in North America until July 1st). Since my copy is still The Complex Christ, I am going to refer to it as Signs of Emergence in this review but when I quote from it, it will be from The Complex Christ and use those page numbers.
The book is as complex as the topic he covers and each time I have read the book, different things have hit me. Because of my context of involvement with Resonate and Church of the Exiles right now, I'll concentrate on the ideas that from those perspectives.
Revolution vs. Evolution
What I was younger, I loved the idea of the revolution. One of my favorite books still is Rules for Revolutionaries by Guy Kawasaki and Gary Hamel's book Leading the Revolution had an early impact on me (for good and for bad). My own neighborhood has seen church closings and no new church plants coming in to replace them so it seems like a perfect time for a revolution to me. However Signs of Emergence reminds me that there is a different way to go and that is the path of evolution. It reminds me that we need to take a closer look at what kind of change we are asking for. Revolution brings about change but they also seed havoc, pain, and suffering as well. Is that the kind of change that the church needs to be looking at? Brewin says no and starting on page 25, he makes a powerful cause for evolution.
Our history, both ancient and modern, has been transfixed by the idea of revolution, of radical change precipitated quickly, requiring an uprising, an insurgence, a head of pressure and a focusing of force; demonstrations, coups d'etat, armed struggles, wars and regime changes. Warriors, dictators and their critics have been clear about it for centuries. Chairman Mao Zedong wrote that 'a revolution is not a dinner party. It cannot be so leisurely and gentle… It is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another'; Paul Virilio in Speed and Politics that 'revolution will soon be entirely reduced to a permanent assault on time. The man on the battlefield has no safety other than in suicidal entrance into the very trajectory of the speed of [the guns]'; and Napoleon that 'the strength of a revolutionary army should be evaluated as in mechanics, by its mass multiplied by its speed'. Through all their blood and violence many of our politicians seem to believe that these revolutions bring genuine transformation. Yet it is abundantly clear that materially, politically, psychologically and spiritually, violent change tends to shear, to break the whole as one surface part moves and leaves the rest of the body behind unaltered.
In his seminal work Future Shock, Alvin Toffler describes the psychological damage that occurs to people when they are overwhelmed by intense change. He talks about 'future shock' being a disease of change, a sickness that people suffer that not so much about the direction of change as the rate of it. Future shock, he says, 'grows out of the increasing lag between … the pace of environmental change and limited pace of human response'. In other words, for our own health, we need change to occur not at revolutionary speeds demanded by power-wielding dictators or company board rooms, but at the evolutionary speeds of the empowered human body.
Party in response to Toffler's concerns, people have begun to see that the nature of change has been itself been required to change. If we are to transform the whole, and truly alter the very nature of things for good, then the mode of change cannot be revolution but evolution. A gradual development over a long period of time. As Robert Warren notes, 'A good case can be made for evolution being the best single word summary of an Anglican approach to change. It suggests creativity [and] responsiveness to present environment'.
The slowness of evolution certainly has a divine beauty about it with its gentle, unseen transformation so hard to plot yet so undeniable in its force. We would like change immediate effect — we want revolution — but God's ways are not our ways and God's thoughts are higher than our. Despite this, as we will see in the next chapter, we have projected our revolutionary tendencies onto God, and it is only as revelation has become clearer over time that we have seen that ours is not a God of violent uprising, but of slow, slow evolution. So since forever, and until whenever, those that have sought to change God's way have had to endure a prefix of…
Waiting [from the Vaux website]
As Sarah waited: Ninety years for a son to fulfill God's promise.We wait in hope for what we thought had been spoken to us.
As Moses waited: 40 years in the desert, being prepared by God to lead his people.We wait for emptiness and humility; for bravado to wither.
As Israel waited: 40 years of wandering, hungry, depressed, thirsting, unsure.We wait for the right time to act
As the Prophets waited: 1000 years of promises that God would raise up a Saviour.We wait for the signs that God has not forgotten.
As Mary waited: 9 months of her 14 years for the child of God.We feel the birth-pains, yet fear for the child.
As John the Baptist waited: Scanning the crowds for the one whose sandals he would not be worthy to untie.We long for an experience of the Divine
As Jesus waited: 30 years of creeping time.40 days in the desert of temptation.3 years of misunderstanding.3 days in the depths of hell.So we wait for God's time. Preparing the way.
Our turn to toil on leveling mountains and straightening paths.Our turn to watch the horizon.
Our turn to pass on the hope that He who promised is faithful and will come back.
What do we do as we wait. Signs points us to Walter Brueggemann's reminder that the first stage in this is grief which is not often popular in today's church culture where assurance and vision outweighs the acceptance that society no longer cares what is happening in most churches. Brewin asks and answers the question of where are the Jeremiah's of today, those to help us confront our grief in today's church. The answer is those are found on the fringes of the church culture.
Signs asks us another hard question and that is what if God no longer is interested in what we are doing? From pg 35 and 36.
Once we have grieved, our tear-washed eyes can then properly open to the shocking fact that God allowed this to happen. God allowed us to climb this little peak. The denial may be over, and the cover-ups exposed, but a deeper resistance still remains. How could God do this? In the midst of our waiting for the news, we meet this intractable issue: if we are seeking the new, then what we practicing was the old, and therefore God was not in what we were doing any more. God has moved on back down the mountain while we stayed up our comfortable hillock.
Such a divine departure is rightly shocking to us. We see an example of it described in Ezekial 10: God ups and leaves the temple. To a people that had become over-familiar and blase about God's presence with them in the temple, to a people who had become complacent about their special status as The Chosen, God showed God's holiness. God got us and left. Bored by our ramblings, navel gazing conversation about internal tinkering, God hung up. God walked off, displacing a true, holy freedom that shouts clearly over its shoulder that no temple, no place, no people, no box, no church, no agenda, no theological position will ever require me to stay where I don't want, be co-opted into something I only half agree with, be pressed into the service of some cause you made up because I AM who I AM. And SLAM, the door shuts and we left alone to wonder about God's holiness, God's transcendence, God's otherness, God's separateness, God's difference.
As we enter this dangerous place of stopping and waiting we must face the possibility of experiencing God's disinterest. Where we have proclaimed "God is in this" we must be prepared that God can and does leave. One need only consider for a second the other point where God was unable to leave any ministry, any place, any attempt at work, and we see that it would quickly draw us down the same path to the god who, not being allowed to permit suffering, intervened every time a child stepped toward a sharp object.
God will not be co-opted into our programs. And this actually turns out to be the foundation of huge hope. For if God could no leave, then we would be bound and trapped for ever inside structures that God "might just be blessing".
Power and the City
Power and influence is a huge part of the evangelical church. Robert Webber said in an interview with Vineyard's Cutting Edge magazine years ago that evangelicalism was about two things. Big buildings and influential pastors. A couple of weeks ago, I read this Washington Post story on Baltimore Raven's head coach Brian Billick. Here is the quote that stuck out in my mind, "But for generations, the mandate of the NFL coach had remained unchanged: Get as much power as you can and don't let go."
Brewin is calling us to do it differently. How do we walk away from power and re-orientate ourselves as the church in the world. On page 45 Kester's call is for us to become born again.
The Church now seems to stand in the same place as God stood 2500 years ago: misrepresented, accused of bigotry, portrayed as narrow minded and in love with power, only interested in buildings, ready to smite the dirty and sinful, over-occupied with sex, and ready to lend support to unjust wars… And so we must do as God did, as Christ commanded and exemplified: we must be born again. Become nothing, removed of strength and power and voice and means and language…
We must re-emerge and grow up again in the place we are meant to serve. Understand it, learn from it, be in it, love it, listen to it, wait 30 years before speaking to it. We must, like God, discard any thoughts that revolution is going to effect change in the Church or our world, and become dedicated to change by evolution.
Brewin's advice to the church is to leave power behind and take a different path forward. In that he is calling those in North America anyway, to take the path less followed. How do we do that? According to Kester, one of the ways is to engage in an urban theology. He reminds us that over half of us in the world live in the cities, our theology remains quite rural as it was developed largely before urbanization. My own tradition of Methodism early history was dominated by John Wesley and his horse as they traveled from town to town across England and most of my current tribe's congregations are located in small cities and towns across Canada (well from Quebec west). It is going to take a major rethinking of what urban theology is going to look like.
In his discussion of how the cities have changed into complex, bottom up systems, Brewin says this (pg 63),
There are still those who cry for revolution, for a revival that will change things in a snap, make everything OK as thousands flock to church… But the days for revolution are over. The cry for revival is too often a cry for abdication: you do it all, God. Well God has done God's bit, it is the systems that now need to change. This is the faith we have signed up for: the Church as the body of Christ where we have real parts to play, real responsibilities. We must not act rashly–diving in to this or that. We must do as God did. Stop. Wait. Grieve. Strip away power, might, pretence at knowledge, riches… and be born again. As Einstein famously said, "The same consciousness that created a problem can not solve it."
So will we be the ones to solve the problem? My ego wants me to say yes but deep down I know better. What is the impact of the things like Vaux that have come out of the period of waiting and grieving? Brewin offers an interesting comparison. Punk music. As he says (pg 71), punk was never going to be the future of music but what it did was the give permission to those who did create the future of music. He points out the unsustainable energy needed to create alternative worship (something that I can relate to with the worship.freehouse) but does point out that even if like the Sex Pistols and it does implode and burn out, it has (along with other expressions of the emerging church in the west) clear the way for other things to come along and pick up the torch.
For whatever the future will look like, the book does call us back to the present. For many of us that is in the city. (pg 106).
We must learn to penetrate our communities and penetrate our workplaces. We must learn to penetrate our cities and find God in them, for the cities are our true destiny. They are where it will not be God alone, but god and us and him and her and white and black and rich and poor and illiterate and abused and day and straight and Protestant and Catholic and the whole feast of life. And only in the city can we get that message. It is not an easy message to tune into with so much white noise and hatred and difficulty and screwed up and transport and mugging and division…But with practice, with a commitment to engaging positively with the city and looking to catch it doing good rather than always on the lookout to knock it down, we can begin to see glimpses of why God is committed to the city as our future: because the redeemed city is the final expression of humanity and divinity in co-operation. It is the conjunction of God's creation with our creativity, where we are building something together.
How do we interact in the city? There are a couple of ways we can interact with others around us. Perhaps the most popular is in a market economy. Just a grocer sells you ice cream and vegetables, churches offer you up religious services and goods for a price (tithe). Before one mocks that idea, I worked on a staff where we articulated it in those terms and so do many other churches across the western world. As Brewin points out, the most pernicious part of the market exchange is that every person needs to justify their existence and contribution to the market economy or in the lingo of the church, be aligned around the purpose/vision/mission… There is another way and that is the idea of the gift. His tie of worship to a gift was breath of fresh air for me. For too long the church growth movement has seen worship as a commodity which was to be traded for attendance and tithe. I remember talking to one worship leader who unabashedly would boast that if you gave people the worship style they wanted, the more money they would give. He was probably right in his analysis of the "transaction" but as Kester reminds us, there is another use for worship other then generating revenue and that is the metaphor and idea of the "gift".
Looking back at to the reasons why a number of us started Vaux in the first place, it was because the churches we were part of gave no opportunity for us to give. Sitting a huge church full to the brim with about 600 people, mostly in their early twenties, many of them working as actors, writers, directors, graphic artists, and musicians, it seemed extraordinary that unless they were able to preach or play the guitar, their gifts were not welcome. There was no space within the normal weekly services for any of these other talents, yet it was these talents that were talents that were put to use in the marketplace week in, week out. Perhaps it was not less surprising that people were coming to church with an attitude of getting rather than giving, because there was actually no room in the highly structured, highly dictatorial services fortheir gifts to be given.
Speaking more on the idea of gifts and worship, Brewin captures what I think is a lost truth in the emerging church and our existence in a market driven church economy.
"Alternative worship" is not multimedia worship. It is about allowing people to use their gifts so that they can worship with integrity. It would be folly to pretend that by installing PA systems, video projectors and screens, and shipping in tea-lights by the tonne every church would suddenly be "doing alternative worship". Buying a labyrinth or some ambient music and video loops doesn't get you any closer to the original spirit of the movement, because what Vaux would call "alternative worship" cannot be bought into; it is not about commodity but gift, and gifts must come from those taking part, not be bussed in from outside.
In the Emergent Church, acts of worship will spring from the economy of gift. They will not be products that can be bought or sold, or commodities to be consumed in exchange for some devotion. However, we must not restrict our thoughts on gift to services. Thinking more widely about cities, they are massively dominated by market exchange – economic beats driven by capital and profit in ways that small villages a not. The Church would be foolish to try to play the city at this game and boost its "market share", "reposition itself itself in the market" or "rebrand" its message with modern advertising and marketing methods, for the essence of what we have cannot be bought or sold. It is not to be consumed and is not a lifestyle choice. Its truth will not be fully told by glamorous girls with smiley pearly teeth, and eight out of ten people who express a preference will not express its depth and pain with richness or sorrow. In the face of the saturating and all encompassing urban market, which Hyde rightly associates with empty death that leads nowhere, the church must stand as a beacon of generosity, as a hub for gift exchange and all the relational enrichment that brings.
Of course he does cover the topic of dirt which gained notoriety after Steve Collins wrote about it in a 2002 column in Ship of Fools. I never found that much offense in the service (although back in 2002 when I first posted about it many did find a lot of offense with it). While the chapter was something to reflect on it, it does tie back into all of the other themes and ideas of the book and that is that the church finds itself in a different world and place than it has been for 2000 years and that is a missional movement that is often underground and back in amongst the city. Life is not as black and white as it once was (or perhaps as some in the church saw it then) and the nuances to live in the city are many at times contradictory.
I think I have read the book probably 20 times and I will soon retire the book as soon as Signs of Emergence comes out in North America for no other reason to give it's battered binding a must needed break. If I had a list of the ten most important books for the emerging church and for the church in general, I think this one would definitely be on it. You can pre-order your copy from Amazon.com now, you will be glad you did.

Announcement ID:
Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium (CHiPS) 2013
Conversations IX: Grounding Aesthetics
November 11 - 13, 2013
Hosted by the Department of History and Philosophy, The University of the West Indies,
Cave Hill Campus, Barbados
The broad theme for the ninth Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium (CHiPS) will be issues related to aesthetics. Most of the philosophical reflection under the heading 'aesthetics', especially within mainstream Western philosophy, presents itself as an esoteric engagement with a very limited number of masterpieces in a very limited variety of genres/forms. While not wishing to exclude the usual suspects, we believe that what is of concern to aesthetics is of fundamental concern to all of us, shapes our understandings of self and others in countless ways, and deserves integration into much of our present-day social and political thinking. To that end, we hope to provoke discussion of the, perhaps, over-narrow boundaries of aesthetics' concern as it is generally conceived; what might be learnt from examination of the ways different cultures view the role of aesthetic categories and activities; how distinctively aesthetic categories shape our thinking in other areas; and other such concerns. In keeping with the spirit of our conversations, we hope to bring together thinkers operating in and across different cultural and philosophical traditions as well as other disciplines that share a boundary with philosophy. In addition to regular paper presentations, we would also welcome suggestions for workshops, demonstrations and other relevant activities.
Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Nkiru Nzegwu, Professor of Africana Studies and Philosophy, Interpretation and Culture at Binghamton University, USA. An accomplished painter, her academic areas of expertise include African aesthetics, African philosophy, African feminist issues and multicultural studies in art. She is the founder of the Africa Knowledge Project, which publishes five peer-reviewed journals and hosts three databases. Dr. Nzegwu is the editor of JENdA: A Journal of Culture and African Women Studies and co-editor of West African Review.
In an effort to ensure well-prepared, quality presentations, abstracts (300-500 words) are due by August 26, 2013. Participants whose abstracts are accepted by the vetting committee will then be required to submit their completed papers via email as an attachment in Open or LibreOffice, Word, or Wordperfect by the firm deadline of October 14, 2013. (These papers will then be posted on-line for other participants to consult prior to the conference with the intention that time at the Symposium can be devoted much more to discussion than to exposition of the written papers.) We hope that revised papers will continue to be available on-line: those from the earlier symposia can be accessed from http://cavehill.uwi.edu/fhe/histphil/chips.aspx.

Product Details
As in the 10 percent of cashmere that will totally change how you see the T-shirt. It's cozy but not hot, drapey but not clingy—and the softest thing you've ever felt, basically. In classic stripes, no less. See how to wear it.
Size & Fit Details
10 percent long-sleeve T-shirt in stripe
Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by StyleMaven Great Style, Poor Quality I purchased the long sleeve in heather cerulean white and like that it's comfortable and the color is versatile. I tried the t-shirt on in store and purchased one size up because the fit is snug. I love the style for the neckline and the bottom hem - the U shape lays nicely and doesn't require tucking in. What disappoints me about this shirt is the fabric is way too thin. If it wasn't for the stripes, it would be sheer. I also tried on the solid colors, to including the red and found the bra line to be obvious. For the price point and only 10% cashmere, the quality does not meet the price point. I am considering returning this. January 31, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by BusyVP So very thin I am on the fence about keeping this. It is SUPER soft and drapey but thin. That means you can see everything through it - bra and bumps. Might work with a camisole under - will try that but first instinct is to return (And I did size up for a looser fit but it clings in all the wrong places) Color is beautiful. February 2, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by FlowerPower Nice fit, terribly quality I decided to give this pricey shirt a whirl since a) it doesn't need dry-cleaned, b) it's actually slim, like I like my shirts, not "drapey" and c) because I wanted something that will really last. Success on the first two points, utter failure on the third. The shirt has two (what started as very tiny) holes near the front hem, which I suspect may have been caused by my jeans button. Seriously though, this is a shirt, and shirts some in contact with one's bottoms and their fastenings! I've washed it twice since then and the holes are growing. It's basically ruined. Since J Crew service rocks, I'm going to call so see about a replacement since the fit really is nice...but it's disappointing to make a quality splurge and find that the quality is in fact worse than a standard knitted tee. April 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by trulyb Looks great over the polka dot skirt So far, I'm very happy with this long sleeve tee, though I haven't washed it yet and can't speak to how it will launder. Although the fabric is sheer, the navy with ivory doesn't seem to show anything that bothers me. The darker fabric and stripes help with show through. Oddly enough, I found that this particular 10% tee ran slightly loose on me so I took the medium, not the large that I would take in a slim cut. In the solid colors, I needed the large, and I even tried an XL in one to avoid bra lines and the like, but the stripes didn't have this issue. Can't explain the variation in sizing. The navy and white looks great over the navy polka dot poly skirt, and I love the curved hem worn out over that skirt. A good find for me despite a pretty high price tag. February 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Millie Keeper I Like this shirt, it is a little pricey but it has some shape to it. It is clingy so it shows everything and is quite see through but it is a nicer Tee shirt. I ordered a size up so it would not be so tight. March 22, 2016

Posted on 12/06/2004 5:15:28 PM PST by GRRRRR
A high rise in the Chicago Loop at 135 S. LaSalle has at least one floor on fire. Live shots show a raging fire through the windows.
This is the LaSalle Bank Building. Began just after 1830h.
IT looks to me like the fire has extended to the next upper floor. there is no more flame from the windows because air is being drawn in to feed the flames. I dont see any "white" smoke (steam) that tells me that the FD has water on it yet. Also, FYI, The fire codes in the city of Chicago dont require sprinklers in high rises, remember about a year ago there was a fire in a city building with a lot of lives lost?
Rapid Assault Team. Chicago FD team that immediately starts searching for people in a fire. Being reported on Chicago NBCNews. Also talking about how one commander is now assigned to see a fire through until it's out. No multiple commanders, no shift changes.
THat law will be changed tomorrow..watch..
FOX just had a blub. more to come...
Image #2
Up close shot you can see the CFD through the window. Bottom shot shows the 29th floor on fire and the rest of the building above...
Hope everyone is all right and that they have renters insurance.
Where's O. J. Simpson?
Chicago does NOT require all buildings to be equipped with sprinklers, they are still discussing it on the TV now...
Woman being interviewed now saying that three of them, ladies, were on the fire floor. Called and told CFD where they were, and the CFD came and found them took them to a fire dept controlled elevator and brought them down. One required O2 at the time. The lady said they were starting to get more and more smoke and were just starting to have trouble breathing...
News crews being moved further away. People still being treated for smoke
Lady being interviewed stated that THERE ARE NO SPRINKLERS in this building...none that she has ever seen...just glad the windows opened...
Choppers circling the building checking to see if there are people on the roof.
there isn't a need for the date on every single thread.
Yeah, nothing like giving the fire more air..
no sprinklers? Oh my...
Huh? What?? "date on every single thread??
The fire looks as if it has burned itsef out. Cna't burn down to the next floor, concrete floor, and fire travels up and across.
Looks to be contained in one office on the floor shown. Fire door going into the hallway keeping the fire contained to that unit.
If firefighters were putting water on the fire we would be seeing steam coming out the windows.
Now it's been upgraded to a 4 alarm fire. Per NBCNews
Drudge has the siren up.
the date in the title.
Thanks for pinging JP, I was just going to do it.
Prayers for those that may be trapped up there.
Dates are helpful in searches, etc. GRRRRR done good.
No way there are sprinklers in the area we are viewing. They would not have allowed the fire to spread and it would now be out. Also we would seee steam coming fform the windows.
10 years in the paid fire service.
EMS plan 3 has just been implemented...that means 15 more ambulances are on the way in addition to the 10 that have been on the scene. Several people have emerged with blackened faces.
45 people were in need of assistance between floors 30 and 35 and also others on east, west sides of buiding and also on the roof. News says they are being asked to say the people were in need of assistance, not trapped.
Have they said what businesses are in the building?
Great coverage here. Thanks . I will just stay on this thread .
They fire will be put out by personnel connected to the standpipes which are fed via pumpers in the streets.
Tough job.
I heard something about executive dining rooms being somewhere close to the fire. But I didn't catch it very well.
Here's an update. Woman on 30th floor ended up having to walk to 35th floor. Told (don't know by whom) to go into conference room and put wet clothing in front of floor. They were led to safety by firefighters. One woman in the group was pregnant, several were in the conference room.
4 alarms would be a minimal response to a working fire in a building of this size. The logistics of fighting a fire 29 floors up is mind boggling
Fire Reported On 29th Floor
POSTED: 6:46 pm CST December 6, 2004 UPDATED: 7:41 pm CST December 6, 2004
Firefighters are responding to reports of a high-rise fire at 135 South Lasalle St. at this hour.
The building is the LaSalle National Bank Building, which is a 45-story building built in 1934 -- before sprinklers were required on every floor in high-rises.
There are reports of people inside the building. Witnesses have said people are waving their hands out windows, and flames could be seen coming out of at least five windows.
The Chicago 911 center told NBC5 is has reports of people on the 26th, 27th, 30th and 34th floors.
One woman who works on the 40th floor spoke with NBC5 after she escaped from the building. She said she made her way in a stairwell to the 35th floor, where the smoke became too much for her. The woman said firefighters were able to rescue her and several others.
"The announcement said the fire was on the 29th floor, and it said for us to stay still and not to move," another woman who escaped from the building said. "We decided to just leave, despite the instructions."
Another man, who was on the 29th floor, said he did not hear a fire alarm, but saw and smelled smoke.
"I did not hear a fire alarm, I saw smoke and I immediately went down to the lobby," the man said. "The first people who came down did not hear a fire alarm, we just saw smoke."
Several fire engines have been called to the scene, as well as 10 ambulances. Several people are being treated with oxygen outside the building.
Refresh this page for updates on this developing story.
Large window frame just crashed to the ground. Smoke appears to be coming from the top floor or top of the building. Reports indicate at least one person on the roof...might be a firefighter
Thanks..again, I'm very surprised..
Anybody know the stats on this building? Age? Fire code compliance (outside of no sprinklers). Big vulnerability now is network cables going through plenums and risers if they're not up to NEC and NFPA specs.
IPN was slow posting the information on their site.
Ok, thanks sweetie,
Completed in 1934. It's old.
ABC 7 states bldg built from 1931 to 1934.
the first set of pictures on the thread appears to have been when the fire first broke through the glass windows. How you can tell is that the fire is being sucked into the building, this is caused by an inrush of air when the glass first breaks out. Later in the thread we see flames coming out of the windows. This shows that now the fire is getting pleany of air and is growing.
135 S. LaSalle is the LaSalle Bank HQ.

This building has to have been renovated since 1975..probably new windows, A/C..major interiors..upgraded power and fiberoptics..it's in the prime commerical area of Chicago, right. I didn't think you could do a renovation without addign sprinklers, and I'm surprised that ANY major tenatn, like a bank..would rent unsprinklered office space..Heads are gonna roll..
Two more offices involved! This is a matter of fire rating. Both vertical and horizontal. Come on CFD!!
they are streaming live...sorry if already posted.
So steel and concrete. Can the heat migrate through the steel columns enough to ignite materials on floors above?
Fourty-five stories tall. There are also LAW firms in this building. A lawyer who has his offices there said they had to open the windows to get air into their area, around the 35th floor.
All cables are required to be in pipe- no open cables are allowed in plenums. Chicago Code

I'm a newly single mom who is looking for someone to talk to and get to know. If there is a connection who knows where it could lead. I never thought I would find myself on a site like this - but things happen and life changes. You need to make the most of each and every situation and day, because you never know what life will bring you tomorrow. About me…I'm young at heart, I love to laugh and I'm very family oriented and would like to meet someone like minded. I am an independent woman, but I hope chivalry is not dead. I can be sarcastic and I tend to have a dry sense of humor. I don't play games and am looking for someone who also isn't into game playing. I love music and going to a concert, but I also enjoy quiet time reading a good book. On Sundays in the fall – I could watch football all day in my sweats, but I also enjoy dressing up and seeing a Broadway play. I am a girly girl but I also enjoy camping and just sitting by a fire outside on a cold night. If all this sounds like I'm someone you could relate to – then send me a message and we can see where it can go from there…until then.

I love to shop & decorate my home. I love spending time with family and friends, but also enjoy some alone time to read a good book. I like to play games, go to Broadway shows and good concerts. In the fall I love to watch football & sit by a fire.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-05-1076-DAL
Friday, June 17, 2005
Contact: Diana Petterson or Elizabeth Todd
Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
HOUSTON -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued citations to Cotton Construction Inc. of Waller, Texas, and proposed penalties totaling $70,800 for safety violations following the investigation of a fatality last January in Houston.
OSHA began its investigation Jan. 7 after a worker fell 25 feet to his death while working on a partially decked rooftop at a worksite on N. Shepherd. Cotton Construction, which employs about 12 workers, was cited for three willful and four serious violations.
"Employers must provide a safe and healthful working environment," said John H. Lawson, area director of OSHA's Houston North area office. "If OSHA's standards had been followed, this unfortunate accident might have been avoided."
The alleged willful violations include failing to ensure horizontal lifelines were designed, installed and used under the supervision of a qualified person; inadequate personal fall arrest systems; and failing to provide training for erecting, maintaining, disassembling, and inspecting the fall protection systems. Willful violations are those committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
Among the serious violations were failing to: assure anchorages used for attachments of personal fall arrest systems were capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds; inspect personal fall arrest systems prior to use for wear, damage and other deterioration or defective components; assure that training required by the OSHA steel erection standard was conducted by a competent person, and train employees on the proper use of ladders. A serious violation is one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with the OSHA Houston North area director, or contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards may contact OSHA's Houston North area office (281) 591-2438 or may call OSHA's toll-free hotline number at 1-800-321-6742 to report workplace accidents, fatalities, or situations posing an imminent danger to workers.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

We converted DS's crib a week and a half ago because he was starting to climb out, but now we have a problem. He has been waking up between 5:30 and 6:15 in the morning (he was sleeping until 6:45 or 7 when he was in his crib) and coming into our room. We then spend the whole time until 7 putting him back to bed and trying to tell him that Mommy or Daddy will come get him when it's okay to leave his room. I have had friends suggest putting a gate at his door, putting his lamp on a timer so it comes on at 7, and just being consistent at putting him back to bed.
Any other suggestions?

The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities has announced the launch of the revitalized wood bioenergy facility database and mapping tool (www.wood2energy.org). The site is the most comprehensive database of its kind in North America. The vision for Wood2Energy.org was to develop a database and mapping tool that aggregates facility level data to deliver a unique perspective of the wood bioenergy industry. With separate, clickable layers and simple symbology organizing data by facility type, size, operational status, and additional detailed information for each data point, users have the ability to plot and contextualize data from the macro-level down to the site-level.

Meriting Consolidation: Why Criminal Pattern Jury Instructions Should Consolidate Federal Bribery Statutes
Bribery in the federal system is notorious for its incoherence. Multiple bribery statutes exist with very similar elements, and a defendant can be prosecuted under any and all of these statutes. Because of this, the federal crime of bribery continues to confuse and perplex even the most seasoned attorneys. While confusion among attorneys helps illustrate the problem with federal bribery, attorneys are not the main focus of pattern jury instructions. Continue Reading

Breaking Bad is your favorite TV show. What did you think of the finale?
"I loved it. A lot of shows don't really sum it up too well and you're left a little disappointed. I thought it was spot-on."
I also heard Justin Bieber's 'Baby' is your favorite warm-up song?
"That was a little bit of a fib. It's not for real my favorite warm-up song. I didn't have one, so that's what I went with that day."
What is the best and worst band of all time?
"My favorite band of all-time is The Rolling Stones. So I'm going to say they're the best. Worst band of all-time? I really don't care for Nickleback. Every song sounds the exact same."
A website said you were a self-proclaimed 'fantastic cook.' Please explain.
"It's definitely self-proclaimed. I don't know if others will say it, but I think so."
Who's your roommate on the road and what's the most annoying thing about him?
"My roommate on the road is Zach Budish and he talks in his sleep a little bit. So that's probably the most annoying thing - so far. He's woken me up one night."
What is the most trouble you ever got in as a child?
"Probably throwing snowballs at cars in the winter time. The police showed up at my door one day, so that was a little bit of a scare when I was probably like 12 or 13. My parents weren't too happy with me. I was in the doghouse for awhile."
Tell your funniest joke (that is printable) ...
"That's not even a fair question. I don't have any printable jokes."
Favorite and least favorite athlete outside of hockey?
"That's a tough one. I'm a big sports fan. I'm going to go with a soccer player. Swedish soccer player (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic. He plays for Paris Saint-Germain in Europe. I'll go with him. Least favorite? I don't have a least favorite, to be honest with you."
Besides food or water, what's the one thing you could not go a day without?
"Coffee. Can't go without coffee."
Who is the one famous person you'd like to date?
"Hands down, my favorite actress, Olivia Wilde."
What is the worst job you ever had?
"Landscaping in Vancouver in the fall. That was a bad job. A lot of rain. A lot of wet days."
One thing your teammates don't know about you …
"I'm a CHL (Central Hockey League) guy but I was going to go college early on in my career. I wasn't drafted until the WHL (Western Hockey League). They probably don't know that about me. I had a couple in mind. I was talking with Northeastern and a few other schools. UNH (New Hampshire) and things like that."
What scares you the most?
"Probably spiders. Spiders freak me out."
Name your favorite Christmas gift you ever got or gave?
"Favorite Christmas gift I ever got was my first laptop. It was a MacBook. Probably like five or six years ago."
When was the last time you laughed so hard that your stomach hurt?
"Probably (Tuesday) night with my roommates. My stomach hurt really badly. We had lots of laughs. Basically we were playing a little joke on the receptionist in our apartment and we didn't realize there were security cameras - put it that way."
