Repeal the 17th Amendment
If the 17th Amendment were repealed, three things would happen.
First, the balance of powers between the states and federal government would be restored, which, in turn, limits the federal government's power.
Second, term limits would happen automatically with our U.S. senators.
And third, special interest groups and the unions would not have as much influence with our senators as they now do.
The balance of power between the federal government and the states would be restored because our senators would be appointed by the state legislatures.
Prior to 1912, when the 17th Amendment was ratified, the state legislatures appointed senators.Senators answered directly to the state legislatures and, therefore, passed legislation in the interest of the states rather than in the interest of growing the federal government.
This gave the states more say in the federal legislation and limited the federal government's power.
If you look at the growth of the federal government, the majority of that growth occurred after the 17th Amendment was ratified.
Because the state legislatures would appoint our U.S. senators, term limits would automatically be instituted. Think about it.
When a senator's six-year term was completed, and if there was a new makeup of the state's legislature, then more than likely the state legislators would appoint a new senator to represent their state at the federal level.
Therefore, senators would not have the opportunity to become career politicians.
If senators were appointed by the state legislatures, they wouldn't have to be concerned about running for re-election. And if a senator were not campaigning for re-election, then the unions and the other special interest groups would not be able to have as much influence as they now do.
And for those of you who are concerned about not having a vote for the senators representing the states at the federal level, please remember that this being a republic, you indirectly do have a vote.
You voted for the state legislature and its members in turn appointed the senator.
It's time to restore the balance of power between the states and the federal government by repealing the 17th Amendment. The Framers of the U.S. Constitution knew what they were doing when they limited the power of the federal government by having the state legislatures appoint senators.

Nov. 5, 2010
MADISON, Wis. -- Gabe Carimi is a 6-foot-7, 327-pound left offensive tackle from Cottage Grove who has 44 career starts. John Moffitt is a 6-5, 323-pound left guard from Guilford, Conn., who has 37 career starts, including 15 at center. Both are returning first-team All Big Ten selections. As the only fifth-year seniors starting on the O-line, they have become the heart and soul of the unit. Especially during the last two victories against No. 1 ranked Ohio State and at No. 13 Iowa. Earlier this week, Carimi and Moffitt got together before practice, and shared their thoughts on a variety of topics.Right after they both sat down on couches outside the UW locker room, John Moffitt confirmed that he was still majoring in sociology; the equivalent of lobbing a softball over the middle of the plate to Gabe Carimi, a civil engineer. Sociology? "Real tough, huh?" Carimi deadpanned."It's a very hard major," countered Moffitt, who will graduate in December. "It's the study of people which is probably the most important study there is.""You'd have to think civil engineering would be harder just because it's the study of keeping people safe," said Carimi, who will graduate in the spring. "And people, by nature, are idiots."Carimi is an interesting study. So is Moffitt. They both get it. And they genuinely seem to enjoy each other's company, though Carimi is an introvert by comparison to Moffitt, who's likely to say anything at any time. Moffitt is the most quotable player on the team, and a fan favorite for his answers during the Ask the Badgers videos on the scoreboard at Camp Randall Stadium.Carimi and Moffitt first met on their recruiting trip to Madison."I remember seeing you eating nachos," Moffitt said to Carimi. " I remember saying, 'Who is that kid?' You were freak tall. But you were a lot leaner. You've put on a lot of weight on your frame.""I was skinny," Carmi said. "I was about 260 then. Mickey Turner thought I was a tight end."They got to know each other the summer prior to the start of their freshman year."I had a place down old University and Gabe would always come by," Moffitt said. "It was an apartment for the summer, and it was just me living there. My mother found the place.""We double-scooted," Carimi said, laughing.The visual of Carimi and Moffit sharing a moped is priceless.So, what brought them together as friends? Why did they hit it off?"Because I didn't have any other friends," Moffitt said."I was his only selection," Carimi added.Did it matter that they were from different parts of the country?"Moff is more of a Midwest guy anyway, even though he's from the coast," Carimi said. "He doesn't act like a coastie.""I would agree," Moffitt said. "I mean, I think I have that element. But I acclimated to the Midwest pretty quickly. There are differences. But people out here are so easy to get along with."Were both projected to play on the offensive line from the start?"I came in wanting to play on defense," Moffitt said."I was an all-state defensive end," noted Carimi. "Basically, I could have been a real average defensive player or a pretty good offensive player with my speed. I have the quickness at tackle."
Who served as their mentors while they were redshirting as freshmen?"Tarek Saleh went to my high school," Moffitt said of the former UW defensive end (1993-96). "Tarek would always call to see how I was doing, and he still does.""I felt like the older players in the locker room kind of disconnected with the young guys and didn't want much to do with us at times," Carimi said of the 2006 team which finished with a 12-1 record in Bret Bielema's first season as the head coach. "They were just very focused.""Maybe you could say the same about us now though, I don't know if it was to the same extent," Moffitt said. "I remember I was in awe of a lot of those guys. I was in awe of Joe Thomas.""Definitely," Carimi said."And you wouldn't even approach them, (John) Stocco and those guys," Moffitt continued. "We knew our role, and we were quiet. And that was it.""Quiet," Carimi stressed. "On scout team, we tried to give them the best look we could."Did either one of them have doubts or second thoughts about being here as freshmen?"I did," Carimi said. "There was no question that Jake Bscherer was the favorite going in. He was supposed to take over Joe Thomas' spot. There was a question if I'd even get a shot at competing for a position. But I was working so hard on scout team, the coaches gave me my chance.""During my career when tough things come up, you always question things," Moffitt said. "When I first got here, I really loved it. And everything was really smooth and I was happy with the way things were going. I'm just so thankful that I came here. But I don't think you can ever say that throughout the whole five years that you never stopped and said, 'Did I make the right decision?'"Was there a turning point in their individual careers?"Probably my sophomore year, it started clicking in – being able to see everything from defenses," Carimi said. "You'd get those linemen eyes. You'd see the blitzes, certain fronts, certain coverages. You'd see the safeties as opposed to just concentrating only on the play.""I would agree," Moffitt said. "My freshman year I had no clue. But I was playing center my sophomore year and I had to adapt. And it continues to grow right up to now where you try to recognize things very quickly. But I think it's a process."Has confidence, or the lack thereof, ever been an issue?"It's tough when you get beat," Moffitt said. "Those first couple of years when you'd get beat, it's tough to play with confidence the next snap. It can rattle you the entire game and you have to fight through it. That was early-on. Now you've learned to let go and say 'Next play.'"As acknowledged team leaders, how would they define leadership?"I feel I'm more of a lead-by-example kind of guy," Carimi said. "I try to make sure what I do is right and I can put it on film so coach (Bob Bostad) can say, 'This is how you block this or this is how you do this' to guys who might be in the second group or what not. Moff definitely leads by example. But he's also more vocal than I am. He gets more intense and I feed off what he does.""Gabe says that, but I also feed off the way he plays," Moffitt said. "The key thing, the first and foremost thing, is doing it – being a leader by example. If you don't have that things can fall by the wayside. The second thing is knowing when to be intense and when not to. And when to jump a guy, and when to let something go. It's something you kind of learn, which is difficult.''Have they had to police the locker room this season?"I don't think we've had to police situations," said Carimi. "We've had a very good locker room. Everyone has the team in mind. There really has been nothing between players.""I agree, I think our locker room has been great," said Moffitt. "There are times when guys may have an issue and you let them deal with it. Sometimes you have to get involved."Moffitt was asked about his emotional pregame message to his teammates at Iowa."I was thinking the night before about my own experiences of going on the road," he said. "Especially at a place like Iowa. That's always tough for young guys and that's when their confidence can be shaken. I think they need to see from someone older that we're going to do our job and being on the road won't affect the way we do it. Usually I'm just talking to the O-line but I wanted to say something to the whole team. And that was for the younger guys to give them a swagger.""When you go into a new environment, you want them to have confidence in their leaders," Carimi said. "Even though Moff didn't have to say anything to get himself going for that game, other people needed to see some of that confidence."Were the wins over Ohio State and Iowa statement games?"It was definitely a pretty big statement to beat No. 1 and go on the road and beat a really good Iowa team," Carimi said. "We saw how good they were last Saturday against Michigan State.""I personally think Iowa was a big challenge," Moffitt said. "In retrospect, Iowa was a bigger challenge than Ohio State. It was away, and you were worried about that hang-over game."How much have they thought about the NFL?"Not that much at all," Carimi said. "My parents are dealing with everything (agents). I'll tell them, 'Look, you can tell me your name but I'm not going to remember it to be honest with you. Go to my parents.' They're doing the interview process. And they're picking the top four for me to look at so I don't have to deal with all of the bad agents, and there are a ton of bad agents out there. Until this bye week, I hadn't even talked to my parents about it. Just recently I told them I won't talk to anybody until after the regular season is over. That's as much I know about the NFL.""I think he's done a better job," Moffitt said. "After my junior season ended, I was talking to them a little bit, but I said to my parents, my father specifically, 'Take it over for me.' Kind of like what Gabe did with his parents. So my dad talks to all of them and I direct them all to him because it's just the biggest distraction in the world. What we have right now (as a team) is guaranteed and it's really special, and it's becoming more and more special and I want to fully enjoy this.""You can enjoy it when you keep on winning," Carimi said. "The losses hurt more than the wins feel good. You just want to keep winning because you know one loss is going to hurt more than all of those wins you've had.""As you play longer, you feel losses for longer," Moffitt said. "Like Michigan State, it took me three days to shake that one. Whereas when I was a freshman, you'd lose a game, and you'd feel it, but not in the same way. As seniors, you don't have that much time left or that many more opportunities."Moffitt lives with quarterback Scott Tolzien and offensive lineman Bill Nagy.Carimi lives with offensive center Peter Konz, who keeps everybody on their toes."I left my Facebook open on Peter's computer," Carimi said, "and he proposed to my girlfriend via my Facebook so it looked like it was from me.""What did she say?" asked Moffitt, who had not heard the story."She knew it was Peter, obviously it was Peter," Carimi said. "But my aunt and my grandmother called me (and asked about the proposal). Peter thinks Facebook is just ridiculous. He's a goof.""He can always make me laugh," Moffitt said."Me, too," Carimi conceded.Both know Konz as a damn good football player on the field.Any chance that anybody in the UW locker room might take any one of the final four regular season opponents lightly despite knowing that a potential share of the Big Ten title is on the line?"We don't want to take anything lightly and risk that," Moffitt said. "I know I'm ultra-paranoid right now just about doing things right and the team having the right mentality.""Oh, definitely," echoed Carimi. "If we keep on doing what we have been doing, we're going to win. But if we slip up and think that we can put it on cruise, there's no such thing as cruise in my opinion. If you go on cruise, you're going downhill.""You've got a balance of younger guys and older guys on this team," Moffitt said. "The older guys understand. I think the younger guys need to be told repeatedly because they don't realize yet how hard it is to win in this league. When we went 7-6 (in 2008) that was a big learning year because there's so much difference between the wins and losses. And when you learn that, you can learn to respect the game and the preparation."What's the best thing about being an offensive lineman?"The friendships," Carimi said. "I feel like my closest friends are O-linemen.""I'd agree," Moffitt said. "I think the bond between the O-line is the tightest on the team. We're all very close to each other. We're always together. Plus, you can eat whatever you want. You can eat anything, and it's all fine.''"You look great," Carimi told Moffitt.Both laughed.So will they still be friends 20 years from now?"Oh, yeah," Carimi said."Yeah, definitely," Moffitt said."We won't have to communicate all the time," Carimi said. "But as soon as we do hang out, it will be the same old, same old."Both agreed that they have a friendship that will endure.Carimi suggested they could be drafted by the same NFL team. He's a projected first round pick. Moffitt's draft stock has been rising steadily since the start of the Big Ten season."If you take a pay cut, I'll go wherever you go," Moffitt told Carimi. "You can grandfather me in."Both shared another laugh, and headed to practice.

Catholicism and Politics
by Bill May
Your Catholic Voice
This past Monday at the J.F. Kennedy School of Government, two of America�s most visible and knowledgeable Catholic leaders, Fr. Brain Hehir and the Hon. Ray Flynn engaged in a discussion with Catholic students and faculty about key issues and challenges facing society and the Church today. The event was hosted by the Harvard Catholic Students Association.
The organization�s president, Kaitlin E. Burek, opened by stating how timely and important this discussion was because the tension between religion and politics is such a pertinent challenge today. She indicated the students wanted to hear from nationally respected Catholics like Fr. Heir and Ray Flynn who not only have dealt with this tension, but have made a success story out of it.
Flynn, president of Your Catholic Voice, is the former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and mayor of Boston and Rev. J. Brian Hehir is the former head of Harvard Divinity School and president of Catholic Charities for the Archdiocese of Boston.
Fr. Hehir talked mostly about the Catholic Church�s just war theory and discussed in which cases military force is justified.
Much of the focus of the discussion was on the role of Catholics in the political process. Many students expressed a great deal of interest through their questions about U.S. Sen. John Kerry�s public positions on important moral issues contrary to Catholic teaching.
What do you think about this? Bishops have been meeting in the Vatican and here at home to struggle with this problem and are soon expected to announce their decision. Now might be a good time to share your opinions with them. (www.catholic-hierarchy.org/country/dus.html)
Here is a summary of Ambassador Flynn�s remarks to the Catholic students.
Young Catholics are not only the future of the Church but will be the moral and political back bone of our society. They are answering Pope John II�s call for faithful citizenship by getting involved in the civic life of their community. Church leaders should not only encourage but actively support these dedicated and loyal Catholics who want to make a positive contribution to our church and nation. They are responding to the Pope�s message that �man can not be separated from God, nor politics from morality.�
I am often asked, �Ambassador Flynn, you have been a successful elected official in Boston for many years and you have also been actively involved in U.S Presidential elections, should Catholics vote Republican or Democrat? What should Catholic political ideology be?�
Our Catholic faith does not easily fit either the �left� or �right�, and nor does it fit into the platforms of either party. Our values are often not �politically correct.� As lay Catholics our responsibility is to evaluate all the candidates, policies, parties, and platforms by how they protect or undermine the life, dignity, and rights of the human person, whether they protect the poor and vulnerable and whether they advance the common good.
As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops stated, �In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation. All believers are called to faithful citizenship, to become informed, active, and responsible participants in the political process.�
Directly stated, neither political party nor Catholic leaders on the left or right speak for the vast majority of Catholics. The messages from Catholic social teachings are clear, but we have too many wrong message carriers today. Conservative Republicans no more speak for faithful Catholics any more than liberal Democrats do.
Going into the U.S. Presidential election, the political pundits will tell us that the question should be, �Are you better off than four years ago?� Wrong question. It should be, how can we pursue, greater peace and justice? How can we protect and promote human life and dignity? How can we � all of us, especially the weak and vulnerable � be better off in the years ahead.? Our faith tells us that there must be a seat at the table for everyone. Are we determined to combat discrimination based on sex, race, ethnicity, disabling condition or age?
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in its recent document, �Faithful Citizenship, a Catholic Call to Political Responsibility�, thoroughly lays out a clear agenda for Catholics to follow in this election year. As Catholics, who we vote for and our policy choices are all matters of conscience, but as Catholic citizens and residents of the United States, we have the duty to participate now and in future debates and choices over the values and visions that will guide our nation.
The dual calling of faith and citizenship is at the heart of what it means to be a Catholic in the United States. Faithful citizenship calls us to seek �a place at the table� of life for all God�s children in the elections of 2004 and beyond. This is what our Catholic Church teaches and these positions are not based on polls, focus groups or what is politically correct. It comes from the Good News of God and the teachings are not subject to political manipulation.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: open
At the peak of Buddy Links had 8 pages listed, with top 5 placements on my popular KW's- whether this was links pop that put them there or the pages are not themed enough now- they are concise and related.
I have submitted both the ISP and Domain names and now have the same site on a second ISP (thats since I've been dumped). Would you get dumped for mirror sites?
......Or having followed the "Inkfrustrations" should I have a beer and wait for the wind to turn.
Have re-submitted via Canada and Anzwers.
Suggestions (and anyone who wants a beer) welcome.
PS I thought my work was frustrating at times but you guys that do this for a living- what are you on to keep you sane?
I find a bottle of black lable vodka works fine with me, shame my clients don't feel the same over the last few months I've lost a couple due to falling traffic(freeserve/msn/aol).
I've got to a stage now where I've given up checking my rankings, I know their there, but only an exact search will find them and most people in the uk are still trying to get there head around using SE's let alone narrowing down the search field
Everything was fine for almost two months with all pages being listed and indexed properly and then last week another dump.
I am about to give up on INK as I'm getting excellent results from Google, Fast and most of the other major SE.
I resubmitted through Canada and Anzwers but nothing has shown up yet.
Regards to all of my fellow INK sufferers.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 62 reviews
The 2000 Grand Cherokee was available in two trim levels, Laredo and Limited. Two engines were available, a six-cylinder and an eight-cylinder, and vehicles were equipped with two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
After a complete redesign in 1999, the 2000 Grand Cherokee received only minor appearance and equipment changes. The 4.7-liter PowerTech V8 was now available in two-wheel-drive versions and with the Selec-Trac transfer case in four-wheel-drive versions. New softer leather seat material was available and two new exterior colors were offered.
The Cherokee was the first unibody sport-utility vehicle, as distinct from the traditional body-on-frame approach. The advantages are much higher rigidity and much lower weight, which contribute to the Cherokee's good handling.
Although the basic Cherokee was available with rear-drive only, it wouldn't really be a Jeep without four-wheel drive. There are two levels of 4WD available for the Cherokee, part-time Command-Trac and full-time Selec-Trac.
Drivers report the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee is safe, comfortable, and reliable. They also say it gets low gas mileage and "things break."

Water and Sewerage Schemes.
Wednesday, 11 February 2004
Seanad Eireann Debate
Mr. Higgins: I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me to raise this matter and I apologise for my absence last week when I was listed to discuss it. I thank the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Noel Ahern, for coming to the House to reply.
I thank the previous Minister for the Environment and Local Government for delivering a long overdue state-of-the-art sewerage scheme to Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, of which I am a native. For years, the local river, the Claredalgan, which is a feeder of the River Corrib, was badly polluted and one of the main culprits was the local authority, as is often the case in such circumstances. The policeman in this case was the main offender. Unfortunately, the other main offender [711]for a period was a local meat factory, which now has its operation in order.
We now have a new sewerage scheme in the process of completion — I thank the previous Minister and the Government for approving the necessary finance for it — to which I seek a modest extension. With the contractors on site, the necessary work could be done more expeditiously and economically than in the future. Essentially, I am seeking an extension to what is known as the Knock Road.
Development in Ballyhaunis is considerably constrained by virtue of the fact that the town is located on the intersection of two national roads and, as everybody is aware, one cannot easily obtain planning permission for one-off houses on national primary or secondary roads. The development of the town has been significantly constrained as a result.
The road in question is a regional road linking Ballyhaunis and Knock. It has had a high density of building in recent years but each of the houses in question is serviced by a septic tank. In this day and age, this is not the ideal solution and, as a result, those wishing to build on the road are encountering considerable restrictions. As I stated, it is one of few roads in Ballyhaunis which could be developed without encountering difficulties with regard to one-off housing.
In addition, a number of small roads which lead off the road in question would be ideal locations for clusters of houses. The area is a prime location for development but because of the difficulties with regard to sewerage facilities and the proliferation of septic tanks, all development on the road, and consequently the town, will stop.
The current position is that Mayo County Council has completed a design for the scheme, negotiated with the contractor, and has received an attractive tender price. The matter is now with the Department but, unfortunately, particularly given that the contractors are about to terminate phase one of the project, the scheme has not received the necessary approval.
Ballyhaunis is ideally located in the centre of Connacht, some 40 miles from Sligo, Galway, Carrick-on-Shannon, Westport and Athlone. I plead with the Minister of State for a satisfactory response to the case I have made.
Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern): I thank Senator Higgins for raising this issue which arises in the context of the major investment being made by the Department in improving water services infrastructure throughout the country under the national development plan. As the Senator admitted, Ballyhaunis is among the many locations to have benefited from this investment.
Last August, the water services investment programme, 2003-2005, was published consisting of more than 700 schemes at different stages of development. With a total investment value of [712]more than €5 billion, it is the most significant milestone yet in the push to bring our water services infrastructure up to a world standard.
The total allocated to County Mayo under the latest phase of water services programme amounts to slightly more than €300 million, extending to some 40 individual schemes. The programme includes major sewerage projects for Knock, Castlebar, Ballina, Kiltimagh, Killala, Achill Sound, Belmullet and Foxford. It also contains large water supply improvements for Ballyhaunis, Balla, Achill, Ballina, Crossmolina, Glenamoy, Kilmaine, Shrule, Westport and Louisburgh and new waste water treatment schemes have recently been completed in Westport and Crossmolina. Funding has also been provided under the serviced land initiative to bring additional residential sites on stream as rapidly as possible to meet housing needs at a number of key locations around the county.
It is clear, therefore, that a large number of towns and villages in County Mayo are directly benefiting from the drive to bring our water and sewerage infrastructure up to a modern standard. Ballyhaunis, in particular, is a prime example. The town now has a fully up-to-date waste water system, including a new treatment plant and refurbished waste water collection network, completed at a cost of more than €7 million.
The Department's current water services programme includes two further schemes to improve water supply in the town. The first of these is a €30 million extension of the Lough Mask regional water supply scheme to serve Knock and Ballyhaunis. The Ballyhaunis town water scheme, costing more than €11 million, includes a new reservoir for the town and a comprehensive upgrade of the water distribution system. Both schemes are expected to be in operation in the near future. Combined with the new sewerage scheme, these projects will greatly enhance Ballyhaunis's ability to compete for and deal with development opportunities.
Last year, my Department received an application from Mayo County Council for funding under the water services programme for a sewer extension on the Knock Road at Derrymore. This is the proposal to which the Senator refers and would involve constructing the sewer extension in conjunction with a pipe laying contract under the Ballyhaunis town water scheme to provide sewerage services to a number of houses currently using septic tanks. The application was given careful examination in the Department following receipt of all necessary details from the council. Unfortunately, it transpired that the unit cost of servicing existing and planned houses in the area concerned could not be regarded as an economic or sustainable solution in the context of overall national investment priorities under the water services programme.
Mayo County Council was informed of the position by the Department last October. The Department also pointed out to the council at the [713]time that it was open to it to consider funding the proposal from its own resources, with or without contributions from the individual householders, or under the serviced land initiative if it believed the sewer extension could be used to service potential future development along the proposed pipeline route.
In the case of the serviced land initiative, 40% of the funding would be available from the Department, with the balance of the cost having to be met by prospective developers. Another option would be for the council to finance the proposal from its annual block grant allocation from the Department under the small schemes programme, in which responsibility for determining local priorities is devolved to the local authorities.
I understand a response to the Department's communication was received from Mayo County Council yesterday afternoon. Any new or additional information contained in the council's reply will be carefully considered by the Department and there will be no delay in conveying a decision back to it.
The Senator stated a good tender price had been received for the scheme. The figure was more than €250,000, which would make unit costs per house approximately double the normal target figure. This is not, however, written in stone. I am aware that planning permission has been granted for a couple of other houses on the road in question. If these were included in the pot, it could reduce the unit price a little. The current position, however, is that the unit price is double the normal target level and this will cause a difficulty, unless it is possible to raise some of the required funding from some of the developers or potential other developments on the road in question.
The Department will give early consideration to the communication it received yesterday from Mayo County Council and I expect a response will issue soon, possibly within three weeks.

Daytona 500 Goes as Planned After Crash
Published February 24th, 2013
Loading Video...
DAYTONA - The Daytona 500 proceeded on schedule this afternoon - just one day after a brush with death for drivers and many race-goers at the famous track.
Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.
In the home stretch, rookie Kyle Larson's car smashed into the fence, getting ripped to pieces.
The force of the crash shot a 25-pound tire ten rows into the stands.
Ambulances rushed to the scene.
Twenty-eight people were hurt.
Workers swarmed the track overnight, replaced the fencing torn off in the accident, and today track officials reassured race-goers about their safety.

In 2010, we launched our first-ever online food drive, #Tweet2Feed. At the time, we were social media newbies and had no idea what to expect, but the response was overwhelming!
In the first year, with our followers' help, we donated 200,000 meals to local food banks. We continued the program in 2011 and 2012, expanding it to Facebook, and three years later our total number of donated meals stands at 830,000.
This year, we're changing things up a bit because we have a milestone goal we want to attain: A million meals donated. Yes, part of it is we can't resist a challenge. But mostly it's because of heartbreaking statistics like the fact 49 million Americans are currently living in food insecure households (including 16 million children). That's why we're turning our #Tweet2Feed Campaign into a Million Meals Mission.
The Million Meal Mission runs from now until December 31. Here's how you can help:
1. "Like" our Facebook page and we'll donate five meals.
2. If you're already one of our Facebook fans, we'll donate five meals when you "like, comment on or share" our Stellar Deed of the Day, which will be posted on our Facebook page throughout the month to inspire others to spread goodwill during the holidays. More information about the Million Meals Mission can be found at www.susquehanna.net/millionmealmission.
3. In addition, we'll donate 25 meals for each new personal checking account opened at the bank from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. So, if you've been thinking about opening a new checking account, now is the time to do it!
So, if you are on Twitter or Facebook, check us out and with a few clicks you can add more meals to the donation total. If you're not active in social media, you can still help by mentioning the Million Meals Mission to someone who is.
We're so grateful to be on this Mission with the following food banks: Philabundance, the Central PA Food Bank, the Greater Berks Food Bank, the Maryland Food Bank, the Community Food Bank of New Jersey – Southern Branch, the Food Bank of South Jersey, the Mountaineer Food Bank in West Virginia and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the H&J Weinberg Northeastern Regional Food Bank.
These organizations, as well as other local food banks need your donations of time, food and money all year long. To help find a food bank near you, visit the Food Bank Locator on the Feeding America website.
Thank you for accepting and contributing to this important Mission! This blog article will self-destruct in five seconds.

Well, I could've had my egg sandwich this morning since I don't have to eat a diet of 100% nuts for the next year, but I'm saving it up for a late afternoon burger with my brother. I've just watched the Season 2 premiere of Jericho. The rat @^#(!$# at CBS - for whatever reason "Reconstruction" is neither on the on-demand (that makes some sense as it's a month old) or available via CBS.COM or the Innertube service (where ALL of season 1 is available and every episode of season 2 besides the premiere).
I don't think CBS is really out to squeeze whatever their cut is out of the $1.99 I paid to buy it off of iTunes. Les Moonves, despite his questionable programming decisions wasn't the fool Zucker and NBC Universal were. At least Moonves seems to understand that whatever the flaws, it's better to go where the people who are willing to buy the downloads actually are.
So I ain't gonna bitch about the buck ninety-nine. I'll watch the rest of the episodes on the On Demand. I'm glad I wrote that piece yesterday. The comments from some of the fans really spurred me on to finish season one and watch Season 2.
I definitely thought the last few episodes (especially the finale of season 1) finished better, and the pacing of the season 2 premiere seemed fine, but the truth is, I liked it, but didn't love it. That doesn't mean the show sucks or that anyone shouldn't love it. I think I can describe exactly the reasons why it's not really my cup of tea (even though I will watch catch-up via On Demand by next Tuesday just so I feel like I gave you the fans a fair shake!).
One of the comments compared this season to Season 4 of Lost (which has been excellent in my opinion), but there are differences that aren't so subtle for me. Both of the stories are in some way about survival and the nature of man, but the mystery shrouding Lost that has been slowly unveiled over 3+ years now is just more interesting to me - maybe perhaps precisely because of the mystery.
The mystery surrounding Jericho just isn't as interesting to me. Corrupt politicians? Towns battling for resources in the aftermath of the apocalypse? I'm not captivated by that, sorry.
I think the primary reason I loved the Star Treks, Stargates, Battlestar Galactica, and The Terminator franchises are because human conflict, portrayed as drama must have some really exceptional elements to keep me interested. The Sopranos could do it (at least for the first three seasons) because it was a world so far outside of my own that it was interesting. The same for The Wire - really compelling characters who deal with things very much outside of what I have to deal with on a regular basis.
While it's true Jericho's characters have to deal with surviving the apocalypse, they're just not really all that different from me. That there is now governmental strife, that's just run-of-the-mill people vs. people stuff. All the liberal versus conservative talk that happens on the Internet (even on a website about TV ratings!) is extremely uninteresting to me personally. I save that energy for sports trash-talk (which I know is completely meaningless to many!). I will watch the rest and if I wind up thinking, "Damn, it IS as good as LOST to me," I'll certainly write it and I hope it does happen that way.
But I think when it comes to humans vs. humans - it has to be exceptional, and exceptional is very hard to do. The Sopranos did it for a while and in my mind The Wire did it for its entire run. Other exceptional shows involving human vs. human drama aren't coming to the top of my mind.
The Star Trek and Stargate franchises had a benefit. Fictional aliens. Big, loud, bad teeth having stinky Klingons. Or the Wraith - kind of human, kinda insect-y. And both of those franchises plus BSG and Terminator have had huge success with cyborgs. The Borg, Human-form replicators, Cylons and of course, my governer and Summer Glau.
I suppose you could say I like fiction better than reality usually, at least when it comes to human conflict. House doesn't have Number 6 or Summer Glau going for it, but, it makes me laugh my ass off usually. Lost has - polar bears in the tropics and time travel (due to electromagnetism)? And I just like that more. I suppose that's why I like the Brad/Mimi (did Brad go and get killed, I haven't caught up yet!) I think their interactions are funny (in a very sweet way, as opposed to House which is usually in a very sarcastic way!)
For what it's worth, I do not think Jericho belongs off of CBS simply because it's not one of my favorite shows of all time. I think it belongs of CBS because even at 10pm there is an opportunity for CBS to draw 15 million viewers with the right content. Jericho is not that content. It's just business, it's not personal. For the sake of the fans (and for the potential that I will be riveted by the four episodes I have to catch up on) I hope the show survives. But it still doesn't make any sense (to me) on CBS. Even if you throw in the Internet, how flawed you think Nielsen is, etc., etc.
But you the fans should know: I'm not out to get your show - I hope it winds up landing somewhere else, where it can thrive. I still don't believe CBS is the place where that happens. So now that you have the thousand words already, here's the picture.

Islamists Penetrate Western Security Services
by Daniel Pipes
It was hard for me to write this, but I argued exactly two years ago that "There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism, as do Muslim chaplains in prisons and the armed forces."
Those words came to mind this evening, at the very end of the sixth episode in Fox Broadcasting's 24 drama, when one of the key American counterterrorist figures turned out to be working for an Islamist terrorist gang. In fact, there are already at least four documented cases of Islamist infiltration of law enforcement and the intelligence services in Western countries:
For examples of penetration of the U.S. military, see my writings at "Pentagon Jihadis" and "More Pentagon Jihadis." Plus, I discuss the murky case of FBI Special Agent Gamal Abdel-Hafiz at "The FBI Fumbles [on Gamal Abdel-Hafiz]" and a follow-up weblog entry, "The Saga of FBI Special Agent Gamal Abdel-Hafiz."
Assuming that these are not the last such instances, I will record others here, as they come to my attention. (January 24, 2005)
March 8, 2005 update: The Los Angeles Times has a major article today on this problem by Bob Drogin, "Spy Agencies Fear Some Applicants Are Terrorists." Barry Royden, a counterintelligence instructor at the Central Intelligence Agency flat-out states that "We think terrorist organizations have tried to insinuate people into our hiring pools." Three senior counterintelligence officials added their worry that terrorist groups are trying to place an "insider" in U.S. counterterrorist planning and operational networks. They point to two difficulties in keeping out infiltrators:
March 25, 2005 update: Another specific case, this one nipped before it could happen:
May 31, 2005 update: There's quite a story coming out of Sydney:
Then there is the problem of porters. Among them, the report goes on,
June 10, 2005 update: The report from Sydney just above focuses on airport security screeners and porters, but what about baggage handlers?
July 10, 2005 update: Michael Sulick, former CIA chief of counterintelligence, today quotes Barry Royden that as many as 40 terrorists may have attempted to infiltrate U.S. intelligence agencies in recent months and adds on his own authority that "post-Sept. 11 pressures to quickly boost staffing make it increasingly likely that a terrorist could sneak into the intelligence community's ranks." He also argues that
And Sulick makes this observation about the potential damage such a spy could do:
July 15, 2005 update: This case does not exactly fit the list, given the person's Christian religion and non-attempt to hide his views, but I include it because of its similarities with the other examples.
Sep. 11, 2005 update: In a related matter, an Independent on Sunday investigation by Shiv Malik has established "How militant Islamists are infiltrating Britain's top companies." Specifically, it looks at the ways Hizb ut-Tahrir has placed its members in such leading institutions as the National Health Service, IBM, the Guardian, and Reuters.

Jan. 21, 2007 update: Omar Bakri Mohammed, the British extremist now resident in Lebanon, met with Mike Hirst and Adam Lusher of London's Sunday Telegraph in Beirut, where he "sipped freshly-squeezed strawberry juice in an upmarket restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean." Bakri told them that Muslims in police, Armed Forces and Civil Service will one day revolt against the system to "crush it from within." Britain is "digging a deep hole" for itself by allowing Muslims into the Services and Whitehall.

Nov. 11, 2007 update: "Thousands of illegal immigrants have been given official licences to work as security guards, the Home Office has admitted."
Nov. 13, 2007 update: The FBI released information today on perhaps the worst U.S. case of infiltration so far:
Nov. 20, 2007 update: In a major analysis, "Is U.S. gov't infested with terrorist moles?" WorldNetDaily.com surveys this general problem. It also focuses on one case:
Dec. 14, 2007 update: The UK sets a new scale for this problem, dwarfing all others:
Feb. 12, 2008 update: Stephen Wright of the Daily Mail offers a survey of this problem at "Revealed: Islamist extremists have penetrated the heart of Britain," based on government intelligence reports.
Wright then gets into operations:
Mar. 9, 2008 update: More along these lines, but now more specific: "MI5 targets four Met police officers 'working as Al Qaeda Spies'," reports the Sunday Mail.
Apr. 23, 2008 update: The authorities were disturbingly soft on what appears to be another infiltrator:
May 9, 2008 update (1): The Investigative Project on Terrorism has made the prosecutors' sentencing memo to the court about Rasool available, and it explains the importance of Rasool's activities:
May 9, 2008 update (2): A new area of activity:
Aug.12, 2008 update: I summarized this blog in an article today, "The West's Islamist Infiltrators."
Sep. 21, 2009 update:
Oct. 13, 2009 update: Here's perhaps the most hair-raising danger so far.
May 6, 2010 update: This one matches the previous one in its implications.
My point has been made over the past near-five years. So, with this entry, I close this useful but growing and ever-more taxing blog. The only exception will be occasional bibliographic entries for any one who wishes to pursue the topic.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, 46 million Americans live with arthritis or chronic joint symptoms. Arthritis symptoms limit everyday activities for more than seven million Americans. Half of Americans with arthritis aren't aware of options now available to help alleviate symptoms.
The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition in which joint cartilage deteriorates resulting in pain and loss of movement when bone begins rubbing against bone.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the joint's lining becomes inflamed as part of the body's immune system response. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types, and affects mostly women. Arthritis can affect all joints including the small joints of the hand.
Your hands are constantly busy. Everyday activities, such as preparing a meal, working at hobbies, carrying grocery bags, or using your computer can damage joints over time. Joint protection techniques can help reduce pain, stress, and inflammation of joints. These techniques also can help prevent further deformities and increase independence in daily activities.

Steve Adler isn't wasting any time alienating his new staff at BusinessWeek. Adler's officially been on the job a week now, and his #2, managing editor Mark Morrison, has already deserted his post, the McGraw-Hill Building, and Manhattan altogether to become a national correspondent based in Austin, Texas. In Adler's memo to the staff this week, he noted that "Mark first proposed this to me a few weeks ago," meaning Morrison never had any intentions of sticking around. Has the sign officially been given for the old guard to start heading for the exits? Maybe. BusinessWeek 2005 could ...

What Does It Mean When a Dog Is Smelling Other Dogs' Butts?by Laura Agadoni
It can be embarrassing when you run into a neighbor while you're both walking your dogs and all your dog wants to do is smell the other dog's butt. Relax a little; that's normal dog behavior. If you pull on the leash to get your dog to stay away from the other dog's butt, you might cause a fight to break out: by pulling your dog, you might make him look threatening to the other dog.
Powerful Sense of Smell
Humans can't completely understand all the information a dog gets from smelling another dog's butt. At least 33 percent of a dog's brain is designed to process smells, as opposed to about 5 percent of a human's brain. A dog's sense of smell is so powerful that he can tell, for example, whether the dog before him in the veterinarian's examination room was afraid, just by the smell the previous dog left behind.
They Can't Shake Hands
Dogs sniff butts to greet each other, much as humans do by shaking hands. Dogs have anal glands just inside their rectums, which produce a strong odor. Dogs can find out all sorts of information just by getting a whiff back there. They can find out the sex of the other dog, whether the dog is in heat, what the dog ate lately and whether the encounter is likely to be a friendly one. Because the smell is unique to each dog, butt sniffing is the best way dogs have to identify each other.
It Calms and Grounds Them
When a dog already knows about the other dog from a prior sniffing, he still smells the other dog every time they meet. Two dogs who live together typically smell each other's butts when they come in from outside. So butt sniffing has another purpose: it's also a dog calming mechanism, according to Kevin Behan, a Vermont dog trainer and author. Anytime something new happens—especially something stressful—dogs tend to sniff each other's behinds. It satisfies the urge to do something, and it grounds them.
Dogs Might Get into Trouble
Some dogs, when meeting another dog for the first time, are enthusiastic sniffers. But the dog being sniffed might not take too kindly to all that focused attention. Whenever your dog is meeting another dog, be attentive. If the butt smelling is an unwelcome gesture, it's time to separate the dogs.

Well, at least this may keep us out of the 8/9 game.
The altitude may be the reason the Bears don't look like themselves. Jorge has yet to hit a FG and other than him we are deficient in rebounding.
No flow at all to the Bears offense. Isn't like the Buffs are shooting lights out (18-44).
But once again we see the match up that give us just fits - athletic wings that can put the ball on the court.
This team needs a run, now
When is the last time we got a stop? I feel like the Buffs are scoring on every possession!
I HATE this color guy. I mean I REALLY hate this color guy. Where is our total homer who wants to be a color commentator? Al Grigsby, a nation turns its lonely eyes toward you.
Gutierrez doing nothing.
Jorge looks out of sorts. And, since we are Cal, 2 three point shots at LEAST half way down come out. DRAT.
Mike Montgomery not even on Reggie Theus' list of potential coaches of the year?
Wonder if we will find out that Jorge is sick. He just is sitting on bench rubbing his head.
This may be Jorge's worst game. Not doing much for his draft stock. Then again, other than Cobbs, I don't think anyone had a particularly good game.

Karen C. Daily and Martha C. Monroe2
Several drugs are used to block the estrogen receptor site or decrease the production of estrogen. Their use is called hormone therapy, endocrine therapy, or antiestrogen therapy. Use of these antiestrogen drugs helps many women reduce their risk of breast cancer. Both women who are at high risk of getting breast cancer and women who have had breast cancer may be prescribed one of these daily oral medications. These drugs can be used to prevent new breast cancer, to prevent recurrence of breast cancer in the breast or elsewhere in the body, or to control breast cancer that has already metastasized.
Most, but not all, breast tumors are sensitive to estrogen, which means they use estrogen to grow. These tumors are referred to as estrogen receptor/progesterone-receptor-positive tumors. Tumors that are not sensitive to estrogen (estrogen receptor/progesterone-receptor negative tumors) do not respond to antiestrogen hormone therapy. Hormone therapy drugs used in breast cancer prevention and treatment are very different from hormone replacement therapy, which is used by some women to help their symptoms during menopause. Hormone therapy drugs are more accurately described as antiestrogen treatments because they limit the amount of estrogen available to tumors.
Two drugs used as antiestrogens are tamoxifen and raloxifene (Evista®). They are members of a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators. The molecular structure of these drugs is similar to estrogen; therefore, they can fit into the estrogen receptor site on cancer cells. That site enables the cancer cell to take in estrogen and use the hormone to grow. Like a lock and key, when tamoxifen or raloxifene (the key) is stuck in the lock (the receptor), the door will not open and no other key (estrogen) can be used. Thus these drugs block estrogen from entering the cancer cell and slow down its growth.
Tamoxifen can be used by both premenopausal and postmenopausal women; raloxifene is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only for postmenopausal women. Tamoxifen has rare but serious risks including an increased risk of blood clots and stroke, uterine cancer, and cataracts; raloxifene has a lower risk of these side effects. Less dangerous but more common side effects of both of these drugs include hot flashes and vaginal symptoms such as dryness or discharge. A beneficial side effect is a potential increase in bone density. Tamoxifen has been tested and used for over thirty years, allowing doctors to be confident that in many women the benefits of tamoxifen outweigh the risks. Raloxifene's FDA approved use is limited to prevention of breast cancer in women who have never been diagnosed with the disease and who are postmenopausal.
Aromatase inhibitors are a newer class of drugs prescribed only to postmenopausal women. Anastrozole (Arimidex®) and Letrozole (Femara®) are FDA-approved for use for five years, or for two to three years following two to three years of tamoxifen to complete five years of treatment. Exemestane (Aromasin®) has FDA approval only for use following tamoxifen treatment. This group of medications prevents the production of estrogen by blocking the enzyme that converts androgens such as testosterone to estrogen. Conversion of testosterone to estrogen in fatty tissue is the main source of estrogen in postmenopausal women whose ovaries are no longer functioning. Aromatase inhibitors reduce bone density, which can lead to osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures. They also can cause muscle and bone aches. Hot flashes are associated with all of the antiestrogen agents and are most pronounced in younger women.
For an individual woman, assessment of menopausal status is very important in understanding the antiestrogen treatment options available to her. Menstrual history and age may provide sufficient information; however, hysterectomy or loss of menstrual periods with chemotherapy can complicate the determination of a woman's true menopausal status. Laboratory studies performed on blood samples measure amounts of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (an estrogen), which can be useful in determining whether or not the ovaries have stopped producing estrogen.
An additional option available for postmenopausal women who have metastatic breast cancer is fulvestrant (Faslodex®). This drug also acts by blocking the estrogen receptor, but is administered by monthly intramuscular injection in a doctor's office. Like all of the antiestrogen treatments, it can cause hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. Fulvestrant may be a useful option for women who have already received oral antiestrogen treatment.
There is not yet sufficient scientific evidence to know which option is best, but there is very strong evidence that some form of antiestrogen treatment after hormone receptor positive breast cancer in premenopausal women decreases the risk of recurrence. Options for these women include tamoxifen for five years or ovarian suppression in addition to either tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor for five years. Two methods of ovarian suppression most commonly used are oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries) or monthly injectible medication such as Goserelin (Zoladex®), a drug that chemically inactivates the ovaries temporarily. There has been some research that supports a longer duration of antiestrogen treatment for premenopausal women who become postmenopausal during the course of their treatment. This longer treatment would include tamoxifen for five years followed by an aromatase inhibitor for another five years. Premenopausal women who have not completed childbearing should discuss fertility preservation options with their physician.
Women at high risk of developing breast cancer can reduce their risk by approximately 40% with antiestrogen therapy. Options are oral daily tablets of either tamoxifen (pre- or postmenopausal women) or raloxifene (postmenopausal women only) for five years.
Women with hormone receptor (estrogen and/or progesterone)-positive tumors can cut their risk of recurrence after surgery in half with antiestrogen therapy. Options are tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor (postmenopausal only), or tamoxifen followed by an aromatase inhibitor (postmenopausal only) oral daily tablets for five years.
Tamoxifen is the only option for women who have functioning ovaries.
Women with metastatic estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer can control the disease and delay the need for chemotherapy with antiestrogen therapy. This may include use of tamoxifen, an aromatase inhibitor, and/or fulvestrant injectible medication.

Cast gold medal of King Charles I, by Nicolas Briot: the Dominion of the Seas
London, England, AD 1630
The Divine Right of the King
When Charles I (reigned 1625-49) inherited the English throne he determined to have a series of medals made that commemorated the events in his life and which reinforced the concept of the monarch's divine right to rule.
The success of his ambitious plans was largely due to the French engraver Nicolas Briot (about 1579-1646). Briot was a Protestant who had been appointed Chief Engraver at the Paris Mint in 1605-6. He had a criminal streak, overreaching himself while attempting the mechanization of French coin production, fraudulently using an old unmechanical method, rather than the non-existent new one he promoted. Despite his behaviour in Paris, he persuaded the government to make use of his technical abilities: a 'mill and engines which will prevent counterfeiting' and in 1626 he was ordered to make puncheons and dies for 'certain pieces of largesse of gold and silver in memory of his Majesty's coronation', the first of the sequence of medals for Charles I. Briot made cast and struck versions of the medal.
The medal was a formal assertion of English power at sea that had been made at regular intervals in the past. The Latin legend boldly asserts 'Nor is that a limit to me, which is a boundary to the world'.

The Fellowship was founded in 1993 as a grassroots effort by a handful of caring Christians and Jews in the Town of Palm Beach, seeking to promote fellowship, understanding and respect through education, dialogue and interaction. Bridges were built as people of different faiths and beliefs developed a better understanding and a new appreciation of one another. This organization actively creates opportunities for people to interact through social activities, cultural events, open discussion platforms, as well as youth and educational programs.
We invite you to join the Fellowship.
* * *
Chairman's Message
Today people tell us the Fellowship is needed now more than ever in this new era of incivility; of noisy, hostile rhetoric in the political arena and the media; of callous and irresponsible use of the internet; of factionalism resulting from radical extremism, often in the name of religion; and of "targeting" those who do not believe as we may believe. We are committed to making a difference. Our planned season of events will provide multiple opportunities for you, your friends, and family to participate in family day activities including an annual lunch and dinner, open discussion platforms, cultural, social, youth and educational events. We need your participation. One by one we can make a difference.

The Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL in 1979 after spending their first seven seasons in the WHA. The Oilers had instant success after joining the NHL as they earned a postseason bid for 13 straight seasons. During this run, the Oilers won all eight of their division titles. The organization also won six of their seven conference championships in this span. The accolades continue for Edmonton as they earned two Presidents' Trophies in back-to-back seasons (1985-1986 & 1986-1987). However, the stretch of dominance by the Oilers was highlighted with their five Stanley Cup titles during the 1980s. The Hockey Hall of Fame has honored this run of excellence by the Oilers as a dynasty. Edmonton won back-to-back titles twice in their five championships and the organization was led by all-time hockey greats Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky leads the franchise with the most points, goals, and assists after spending a decade playing for the Oilers. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Edmonton Oilers hockey tickets.
Last season was a disaster for the Edmonton Oilers. Coming into the 2013 NHL Season there was a lot of hype around the Oilers and some even predicted that they would make the playoffs for the first time since reaching the Stanley Cup finals in 2006. But Edmonton proceeded to lose 15 of their first 21 games, many in blowout fashion.
For the 2014 NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers will look to turn the slide back in the other direction and continue to improve their young talent. For the Oilers to succeed in 2014 they will need exceptional play from their goaltender Viktor Fasth, as the team simply couldn't stop the puck a year ago. But much of the weight of the season's aspirations will be put on the shoulders of Taylor Hall. Hall has quickly become one of the best wingers in the game and is the clear on the ice leader for the Edmonton Oilers. He will team Jordan Eberle, and David Perron to try and erase the mistakes of 2013.
Check out our Edmonton Oliers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Oliers seasons.
The Oilers play all their home games at Rexall Place, located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. When filled to capacity, the third oldest NHL arena holds over 16,500 loyal Oilers fans. Rexall Place is also the home to the Edmonton Rush of the National Lacrosse League and the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL. The arena also hosts many of the top entertainment acts throughout the year. The Edmonton Oilers home bench is on the Rexall Place rink side in front of sections 118-119. Rexall Place parking information is covered in our Oilers event guide.
Calgary Flames, Los Angeles Kings
The Battle of Alberta is probably the biggest event of the year in the province, and there's no love lost between fans and players of each team. It's the capital vs. the largest city in the most popular sport in the country and Edmonton has had long stretches of dominance over their neighbor many times over the years.
The first year these two clubs met in the playoffs was 1982, where the Oilers were heavily favored behind the NHL points champion Wayne Gretzky. The Kings went on to win Game 5 and the series in front of Edmonton's home crowd, and then breaking Oiler fans hearts even more, Gretzky was traded to the Kings six years later. The rivalry becomes an intradivisional on in 2013 when the Oilers make the move over to the same division as the Kings.
The five time Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers must have felt pretty lucky when Wayne Gretzky fell in their lap, but they'll certainly take it. The five Stanley Cups aren't all, add another seven Western Conference Championships and twenty Playoff Appearances and you're looking at hockey royalty.
Doors open 90 minutes before the puck drops at Rexall place.
If you can't decide what kind of food you want before the game try Buffet Royale Carvery. BFC has a large selection of western, Ukranian, and Asian foods that are all incredibly tasty. For comfort food lovers try Sugarbowl. Great for families, this trendy place has some of the best food in Edmonton. If you are looking for a fine dining experience check out Red Ox Inn. Red Ox has a large selection of international food and a great wine menu as well. For a less expensive pre-game diner visit Swiss Donair. This local gem is quick, easy, and is a great experience. Swiss Donair is not usually open for dinner on Wednesdays so be sure to check their hours before leaving. Other great places in the area are Thanh Thanh, Tres Carnales Taqueria, Sabor Divino and Corso 32.
There are 5 parking lots associated with Rexall Place, all located on the north side of the arena. We recommend trying Lot H, or Lot E, as they are the two largest lots and have the best chance of finding a spot. Lots D, C, and B are the most convenient, but fill up fast so we recommend purchasing a parking pass, or arriving early if you want to park in one of these lots. If you are looking to skip driving and parking altogether, check out the Edmonton Transit LRT. It has a station in the area and is a convenient way to get to and from the arena.
Children who have not reached their 2nd birthday are allowed to enter Rexall Place without a ticket and must sit in a guardians lap for the duration of the game. It is best practice to bring proof of your Child's age with you to the gate to ensure they are allowed to enter the arena.
Kendall is awesome! She always goes out of her way to provide excellent service. Thanks so much!Shari - Austin, TX
