In my store i am having the jotform as a lightbox set just in right of the product image on "Request a Quote for this item" click , you can see here http://prairie-mountain-furniture.mybigcommerce.com/12-cubby-shelf/
But if i use this jotform, my product images are not opening in the lightbox. And if are i remove the jotform, images get open in lightbox easily, which means that image lightbox get conflict with jotform lightbox.
Please provide me a solution for this..

This will load our "prototype" version of the lightbox, instead of the "JQuery" version of lightbox that feedback2.js is loading.
Please let us know if this resolved the scripting conflict that existed on your page, and if both lightboxes are working correctly after making the change. Thank you.

Quick! Hop on the bandwagon Habs Fans!
Well, Carey Price played in his first game. And just like Patrick Roy and Ken Dryden, he picked up his first win in his first start in the exact same arena. So a lot of Habs fans think that this must mean Price is the next Roy! But hold on a second…
Habs fans, slow DOWN. Carey Price did play very well, and he made some stellar saves, but guys, it is just one game!
I'll be the first to admit, I believe that Price will eventually be a superstar goalie, but as Jacques Demers said yesterday, Lets not compare Price to the likes of Roy and Dryden just yet.
I actually started receiving text messages yesterday stating that Montreal was taking the Cup! Mind you, most of those people were likely drunk, but even in a drunken state you shouldn't be saying that a team many are predicting to miss the playoffs is going to win the Cup, it's just illogical.
Let's take a look at the performance of the Habs last night.
Montreal managed only 5 shots in the first period. Carbonneau did say that the players would instinctively play defensive hockey in front of a rookie tender. They took several stupid penalties and were lucky to escape the period tied at 0.
Montreal started the second period by taking a dumb penalty and it finally cost them. But as the period went on Montreal seemed to wake up, and Plekanec really made himself noticed by scoring a powerplay goal, and in my mind proved he should be at LEAST our second line center. He then set up Kovalev for a 2 on 1 with Kostitsyn. Kovalev elected to shoot, surprising Fleury and netting a softy.
Montreal DOMINATED the third period offensively. At one point the shots were something like 13-2 in Montreal's favor. They managed one goal and that was all they needed.
The defense put up a solid performance early in front of their young tender, yet they still gave up a few chances. For some reason, Pierre Houde and Yvon Pedneault were picking on Josh Gorges for most of the night (probably because he took the place of French Canadian Brisebois), yet I felt that the blame should have been placed on Mike Komisarek for taking a few dumb penalties throughout the game. Gorges was a little apprehensive, but by the time the third period came around, he was playing very well. I seem to recall him breaking up a 2 on 1 against Malkin, and setting up a few offensive chances.
The second period was about the same for the Habs, yet a silly play by Hamrlik sent Crosby flying on top of Price, knocking the goalie out of the play and allowing for an easy goal, giving the Pens the early lead. Like the offence, the more the period went on the better they seemed to be playing.
The first 15 minutes of the third was dominated by the Habs defense. Bouillon, Streit and Markov were all over the place, breaking up plays, and the forwards were back checking tremendously. The last 5 minutes was pretty shaky, but they managed to hold on.
This is the part everyone's buzzing about. Price played an excellent game. Neither of the goals given up were really his fault. If you really wanted to scrutinize you could say he didn't play the second goal properly, but that is to be expected by a rookie in his first game.
Price made some really good saves, and what interested me was that in his first start he was displaying some characteristics of a star goalie. He was making these saves consistently, throughout the game and not in short bursts like many goalies.
BUT… Guys, relax, it was only one game. If I remember correctly Yann Danis recorded a shutout against Atlanta in his first ever start. I'm not comparing Danis to Price, because Price has wayyy more potential, but let's not make the same mistakes we've made on the Likes of Theodore and Huet. We were ready to build those two monuments, especially Theodore, and look what happened.
For the sake of Carey Price, please don't start labeling him as the savior just yet. We can't EXPECT another 20 year old to lead us to a Cup! Let Price develop slowly, don't break his confidence (or build it too high), and please, watch your step and you hop on to the bandwagon…
I am excited about Price, I am excited about the possibilities in this season and in the years to come, I am pumped about the young talent we have, and I am EXPECTING a Cup in the next 5 years.

It was an impressive debut but yeah, he's not a superstar yet but he's shown that he is certainly good and he'll get better the more he plays at this level. I like the way the team is going, don't forget what a pitiful state Gainey inherited it in and now the Habs had 5 or 6 first round choices playing last night along with price and all are decent players. Maybe it'll be tight to make the playoffs this year, but success isn't too far away and once there it looks to be a nice long ride. With the defensive prospects in the pipeline and Price looking like a solid future in net I think the Habs are building this the right way.
Stop ruining my fun! 😛
If I want to be a blind, ignorant Habs fan praying for a not even 20 something kid to hoist us to the Cup just like he did for the Hamilton Bulldogs in the Calder Cup, let me 🙂
Sure sure, you can point out the several times I'll be a hypocrite and raid on everyone else's blind parade, but who cares? Those people are not me. If other Habs want to jump on the bandwagon, I'm the guy whipping the horse they call Price. GO CAREY GO! GO CAREY GO! NO NOT JIM CAREY, YOU HAD YOUR CALDER TROPHY! GO PRICE GO! GO PRICE GO!
Somebody on HFBoards.com said it best, his new goaltender mask should have a Crown of Thorns on it.
Err I meant Jim Carey and his Vezina 🙂
81-0-1 baby!!!
u say lucky to get out of the first tied at zero, i say carey price lol
im just kidding around, really tho, i give the credit more to the defensive play, penalties or not, the pens took way more than 28 shots, defence was sacrificing the body…even kovalev lol
One tiny little mistake, it was Komisarek who broke up that 2 on 1 with Malkin, not Gorges. You could see the black eye which was given to him by a cheap shot from Sundin on Saturday night. Wait, before people jump on me saying "it wasn't a cheap shot", it was plain and simple, you are SUPPOSED to be in control of your stick at all times, not flailing about, swinging your stick because you're about to get hit. Also, Gorges made a few mental mistakes throughout the game but overall, wasn't half bad. As for Price, I agree he played a great game and it should have been 3-1 not 3-2 (Yeah Hamrlik pushed Crosby but as usual "The Next Great One" dove onto Price and did not move, practically pinning Price to the ice). I can honestly say that with Price in net, I no longer have fears when Montreal's netminders touch the puck. I know I'll get ripped to shreds but oh well, I have to say it. Last nights performance by Price reminded me not of Patrick Roy or Ken Dryden but of a current goalie who's destined for Roy and Sawchuk's records. Yes, Marty Brodeur. I'm not comparing Price to Brodeur but he showed Brodeur-type poise and puck handling. And even his interview after the game on RDS, the interviewer was trying to get some sort of reaction out of him by asking him "At any point in the game did you feel like, wow, I'm gonna win my NHL debut?" (Not exact words but close enough) and Price, with his calm and collective way said "No, because if I did, it'd turn around and bite me in the rear-end".
Now, truthfully, when I saw the headline of this article, I thought it had been written by a Leaf fan looking to make an ass out of him or herself and try being one of those Leaf fans who thinks Justin Pogge is and will always be better then Price. Thank God it wasn't.
He is not Martin Brodeur, but he possesses GREAT puckhandling skills. He basically took away the dump and chase option for teams in the AHL in the playoffs. Once he matures and acquires some NHL experience…watch out.
He might never equal Brodeur, Roy, Dryden, etc…but he will be a great goalie for the Habs.
Almost what you would call a total package in a goalie.
I agree with you about the Crosby DIVE. Sid is a great whiner and diver. His next-to-god superstar status helps out a lot. He gets BARELY pushed by Roman and dumps Price on his butt…then just stands there. If it would have been a guy like Talbot, Laraque or Armstrong…there would have been a penalty. But it was Sid. No penalty.
Superstars ALWAYS get away with penalties. Look at Sundin and his multiple face crosschecks against Komisarek and at the end of the game. It took 3 hits before he got 1 penalty.
Oh quit whining about how the Habs got cheated by the refs. THEY WON THE GAME. Besides, I was at the game and I recall Crosby getting clearly punched in the face by Markov and there wasn't a wistle blown. I thought the refs were fair in the game not giving either team much of an advantage. The Pens lost it due to a lack of that fiery attitude that they had last year. Price looked GREAT too. Beyond great.
I was waiting for someone to put something up about Price. I am a die hard pens fan and I attended the game last night. He looked AMAZING. I completely agree that this is just one game, but that Price could potentially be fantastic. He shows the qualities of guys like Brodeur, Roy, and Barasso. He clears his own crease and plays an aggressive game just like Brodeur and Barasso. He has the poise of veteran in there. I was impressed.
Whining? It happened.
That was the only play I remember that should been called a penalty against the Pens. When it involves Sid, he gets away with way too much, that's all. Markov punched Sid…ok…but a lot of hits like that happen. How about that VERY high stick by Roberts? Not called also.
In Toronto, we would have won that game if not for penalties not called.
I agree with you. Price was awesome last night. Great poise and cool under A TON of pressure.
what the ***** are you talking about whining? I called it like I saw it, he dove and never moved. That's not "whining" like you seem to think. Whining would be taking note of every missed call in the game that went against Montreal then making a big deal about it. Did I make a big deal about Crosby hovering over Price, no. Also, when the ***** did I say the Habs got cheated by the refs???? Now, I wouldn't be making a such a deal about your comment but I am gonna defend myself when someone begins calling me something I am not. If you want whining, I think you get enough of it from your alleged "Superstar".
I think we need to give credit where credit is due…..Plekanec is amazing and he has by far been our best player since midway last season including pre-season this year….He has proved he can score…and create great plays and still we put Grabovski as our 2nd line center…but now I am glad cARBO HAS COME around and put him back on the 2nd line……and Price was very Solid…Chips played well……we are in the rite direction
Pleks has been by far our most consistant forward since last year.
I dearly hope Carbo understands his value and won't put him back on a line with comatosed Latendresse and Mr. Whatever Kostopoulos. What a useful acquisition that one…really. Good job Bob.
Guys like Éric Bélanger and Martin Gélinas showed an interest in playing for Montreal, but no…let's go and get Tom.
Tom Kostopoulos is actually a very decent hockey player. He does more then a 39 year old Martin Gelinas, who's good years are long behind him and Eric Belanger, who had never scored more then 30 some odd points in a season. Kostopolous offers more defensive upside on the PK and on 5 on 5. Plus, when needed, he can fight and can pop in the crucial goal. Kostopoulos can also help lead a team, much like he helped lead the London Knights from a 60 loss to seson to a 54 win season.
You could be right. He is not a bad player. I don't think he was a needed signing. We have plenty of similar type player in the system like Lapierre, Ferland, Mulroy. All of them have next to no experience in the NHL though.
I can see him in a 'patching the hole' role though.
Gélinas still had 44 points for Flo last year. He still has good wheels, good defensive instincts and he has some leadership. He could have brought a bit of offense…maybe around 35 points.
Bélanger brings some grit and defensive abilities. He is somewhat physical and can score around 15 goals nd 35 points.
Tom will not get 35 points. he might fight a bit, but he will lose the majority of them.
I think the same way you do and I also think that in a couple of year Plek will be one of the nhl most complete player, he is stellar on defense, getting better every day on Face-off and along with Higgins and Kostisyn is the most promising foward in the habs system period! I wish we could see Plek back with Kostitsyn and long time line-mate Christopher Higgins. Also love Price, he's very calm compose and the goals he allowed last night where FLUKES, Montreal have a tradition of having Great(not good, Great!) goalies throughout the years, eg.Vezina, Worsley, Durnan, Dryden, Roy and now Price, Yes "I" am compairing Price to all of them He is Big, Technical, fast and handles the puck like Hextall! Chichura also looked good(much better than Grabovski, Begin, Kostopoulos, Latendresse and Ryder who looks terrible along with Begin, Brisebois and Georges! Why isn't O'Byrne playing?
I'd ;ike to thank all of you for the comments. I have to say I didn't expect such a positive reaction to my article. I saw in another article that people were complaining about the quality of the articles, and I tried to make that person know that a few people still can know what they're talking about.
By the way the title was meant to give off the air of a Leafs fan trying to make fun of Habs fans, just to pull the attention of more people 😛
I wasn't trying to say that there was an awfully blown call or anything. I was just making the arguement that the refs were fair. And yes, Price was oozing poise last night.
Hmm, I never really got the impression that anyone was saying he's the next Roy or Dryden.
Most of the talk was simply that he was starting his first game against the Penguins- like Roy and Dryden did back in their debuts.
I have to admit though Price is probably the best goaltending prospect and is definitely someone to get excited about.
Maybe he's the next Ryan Miller- that would be a dream come true for Habs fans..
Imagine if the habs did win the cup this year, i we be so *****ing shocked it wouldn't be funny. IMO i think the pens got the cup
I use alleged as implying that he isn't in the Superstar status of Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Richard, Beliveau, LaFleur, Howe, Gilbert Perreault, Marcel Dionne, Howie Morenz, etc. etc. Because simply put, Crosby will NEVER be as good as any of these players. He'll never outscore Gretzky. He'll never make ANYONE look good like Lemiuex did throughout his career. Crosby will NEVER control a game like Bobby Orr. He'll NEVER do what Richard was able to do. He'll NEVER lead a team like Beliveau. He'll never score 60 goals like LaFleur did. Crosby will never do what Howe did (not the whole playing til you die attitude). Crosby will NEVER be like Gilbert Perreault. As for Dionne, see Gretzky point because Dionne outscored Gretzky. And, Crosby will NEVER be like Howie Morenz. One thing preventing Crosby from any of this, are that he cares only for himself, not his team. He tries to make himelf look good by forcing himself to try and score diving goals instead of being spur of the moment type a thing which makes goals like Alex Ovechkin's behind the back goal so incredible. Also, Crosby blows defensively and will only be adequate at best.
awesome debut!!way to go carey!!i thought it was impressive!!i mean this was/is the pittsburgh penguins he beat!!with the best player in the world and one of the top teams in the east!!if it was columbus ,st.louis or some also-ran team i wouldn't be that excited!!but to beat pittsburgh!!now carey do it to ottawa!!and show everyone that yes you are the habs next great superstar goalie!that will win us more cups!!!i know it was his first game people but believe me when i say this!!price will be 1 of the top 3 goalies in the league within 2 years!!!i along with all the young talent we have and the way the team is going!!i know history will repeat itself!and we will win a cup within 3years!!!when this team fully develops and matures!1,when mcdonagh,fischer, carle and the rest of our prospects and players grow together!!watchout!!this will be the deepest team and the most exciting team in hockey!!it'll bring back momeries of the dryden,lafleur robinson era and the roy era!!and with that more cups!!the ride has only begun!!so let's strap ourselves to this ride (it'll be fun) and lets' watch it and see where it takes us!!to bad the leafs and there fans can't say that!!i've said it now for the past 5 years!!we will win the cup again before those blow hards in toronto even get close!!
O'Byrne is stuck in the AHL because Gainey and staff did not evaluate O'Byrne properly. He was great during the AHL playoffs and all year before that. He is a physical guy (no Scott Stevens) that would be needed in Montreal.
But Gainey went out and did his usual dumb signing. He signed Brisebois. We already had 7 NHL ready defensemen in Markov, Komi, Hammer, Streit, Bouillon, Dandy and Gorges. He even signed journeyman Jamie Rivers, making it 8 NHL capable defensemen. Adding Breezer made it 9.
O'Byrne was doomed from the start. If Breezer was not signed, O'Byrne would be playing in Montreal. He could alternate with Gorges for the 6th spot and learn his craft at an NHL level.
Good job Gainey.
A desperate signing to try and make us believe that french players really don't mind playing in media crazy Montreal. Riiiight.
Brisebois bleeds red-white-blue. You can hate him for his famous giveaways, but you have to respect his class. He was booed like no one and still he wants to come back. Chapeau!
You !! sure !! love those !!
Great enthousiasm !!
I totaly agree, Price has only won one game, and although I think he will have a very bright future, and potentially be a star, I thought the same about Garon (BTW I always liked Garon better than Theodore). I hope Price gets 20-25 starts this year and we bring him along slowly, however if the Habs make the Playoffs and Huet is shaky, let the kid at it.
The only thing that worries me about the Habs future is offence. We have lots of D in the system, and Goaltending should not be a problem, but I see no future goal scorers. The top offensive prospects are with the big club now, and I do not see a game breaker. Hopefully in the next couple of years Gainey will address this either through the draft or via trade.
"Crosby will NEVER be as good as any of these players"
He IS as good as these players now. While it is true that Crosby may never break all of the records, it is a different game then it was when Gretzky played. Crosby does, however have the skills to be mentioned with ALL of the greats of the game.
You are clearly an idiot that is allowing your hatred of Crosby to blind you to the FACT that he is the best player in the game right now. He makes every player he plays with look better than they actually are.
"Crosby from any of this, are that he cares only for himself, not his team. He tries to make himelf look good by forcing himself to try and score diving goals instead of being spur of the moment type a thing which makes goals like Alex Ovechkin's behind the back goal so incredible. Also, Crosby blows defensively and will only be adequate at best."
OK, let's get real about things here. When has Crosby "forced himself to score diving goals"? That whole statement is just plain idiotic! As for not being a team player because of him forcing himself to score ridiculous goals (still a stupid statement), Crosby had 84 assists last season. Seems to me he's setting up many more goals than he is scoring.
Defensively, Crosby is solid. Look at the numbers, he was +10 last year, so I'd like to know (other than your personal opinion) where you get this notion that Crosby is poor defensively?
It is funny how you go on about how Crosb will never do this and that, but you don't look at what he has accomplished in his 2 years in the NHL…
- Youngest player in NHL history to record 100 points in a season
- Youngest player in NHL history to record 200 career points (19 years and 207 days)
- Youngest player in NHL history to have 2 consecutive 100 point seasons.
- Youngest player to be voted to the NHL All-Star Game
- Youngest player in NHL history to win the Art Ross Trophy
- Youngest player in NHL history to win the Lester B. Pearson Award
- Youngest player in NHL history to be named to the First All-Star Team
I rest my case.
He looked good, can't wait until he has a fully developed game and UFA status when he'll surely leave Montreal.
every nhl team expects a cup in five years. i never expect a cup in five years, because the average team turns over two thirds of its personnel over five years.
price played well. one game down, 550 more wins to catch roy. he should be able to catch him in 15-16 years, unless it turns out he isn't the greatest goalie of all time.
plekanec, if he gets in a groove, could be a first line center. as it stands, the first line of the future is plecs, higgins and kostitsyn, which has scored a couple awesome goals.
Good case but the only reason why Crosby is the youngest to do anything is simply because, Gretzky wasn't 18 when he entered the NHL. Gretzky was 19 his first NHL season. If you don't know why, here's a little hockey history, he played his first year of professional hockey with the Indianapolis Racers and Edmonton Oilers in 1978-79 in the old WHA, where he scored 110 points in 80 games. Gretzky's first NHL season, he scores 51 Goals and 137 points.
I am a Crosby hater but let the facts be known, after Ovechkin's behind the back goal, Crosby then scored several goals afterwards which were forced and their was really no need to pull these "stunts". One of them which comes to mind is against the New York Rangers, when him and a linemate were going on a two on two rush against the Ranger D, the linemate (who I forget the name of) launches a pass that is several feet in front of Crosby, who is going full throttle and a pass just in the reach of "The Next Great One", a pass which he could have received without diving to the ground, which he did, and could have scored it while continuing in stride.
Another example of Crosby show-boating, was another game against the Rangers (not 100% certain if it was though), where Crosby is on a partial break and the defender taps Mr. Crosby on the legs, to which "Sid the Kid" responds by going to his knees, for no real reason other then the fact that he is a diver, and continues on his course and scores the goal while on his knees. yet another example of him blatantly trying to show-boat and deliberately trying to make himself look good.
One last example, while Crosby is with Rimouski, his team up by a considerable margin, Mr. Crosby takes it upon himself to continue to show boat and he flips the puck onto the blade of his stick and tucks the puck under the crossbar from behind the net. The reason this is show-boating and hot-dogging is because Mr. Crosby had no reason to do this other then the fact that he tried to make himself look good. Had this goal been scored with the game score tied or Rimouski was down or they were up by a single goal, I wouldn't call it show-boating but doing it while up by a considerable margin, is like what Jesse Boulerice did to Ryan Kesler in the fact that it is a blatant slap in the face to the other team and it shows no real respect to the game, the players, his team mates, his coaches and overall the league.
I'm gonna go on record to saying I hate Wayne Gretzky because he too was a tad over-rated. Now, I also hate Mats Sundin with all my heart. Crosby doesn't even rank in my Top 10 Most Hated players but the one thing I do have is respect for his scoring talent. I respect all hockey players (except Tie Domi because he was a pure untalented goon) for what they do. Yes Crosby's resume is already great but it doesn't compare to what the REAL legends like Richard, Orr, Gretzky, Beliveau, Howe, Perreault, Dionne, etc. Now, if Crosby actually went out and scored all his points without having to whine and cry and ***** to the refs because other teams are checking him, I'd consider Crosby one of the elites of all-time. Does Crosby have the heart and sttrength to carry 3 Detroit Red Wing players on his back and score a breakaway goal? NO! Does Crosby have the heart to go out and play with the knee's of a 50 or 60 year old when he's only in his mid-20's? NO! If Crosby were to have what Gretzky had, a Dave Semenko type player to protect him, then I'd totally give him full credibility because Gretzky didn't need to resort to whining and complaining to the refs about being checked, though as we all know, he did anyways bt the prospect is still their that he didn't have to.
""Defensively, Crosby is solid. Look at the numbers, he was +10 last year, so I'd like to know (other than your personal opinion) where you get this notion that Crosby is poor defensively?""
The Plus/Minus stat is possibly the MOST over-rated stat in hockey. All it does is give you a slight indication of what a player does defensively. Hell, for all the Pluses Crosby got without scoring a point, could have been when he was skating off for a change and the Pens happend to score while he was still on the ice, just floating to the bench. You want more then just my personal opinion, here it is. Montreal-Pittsburgh, last year, it's Over-Time and I believe Pittsburgh was on the Power Play. Mr. Crosby, receives a pass and decides, I'm gonna win this and begins to try and look all fancy and shit. Well, what happens? Tomas Plekanec tips the puck from him and continues on and scores the OT winner. Crosby couldn't defend his puck in the opposng end and cost his team the game and quite possibly a crucial extra point, which could have possibly given Pittsburgh Home Ice in the Play-offs. Want more? Memorial Cup Game 1, London vs Rimouski. Rimouski's up 3-1, Crosby, on a grand stage, wants to show off a bit, loses the puck in his own end, London scores. 3-2. Later on, London's tied it up at 3, Mr. Crosby, tries to put it upon himself and again, loses the puck, and London eventually scores the GWG.
And I know I didn't go on about his accomplishments but that's becaue I think we have ALL heard these accomplishment's over and over again. But hey, while we're at it, let's see what he DIDN'T do in his first 2 years. DIDN'T break Teemu Selanne's 76 goal rookie record. DIDN'T break Teemu Selanne's rookie Point record of 132 Points. DIDN'T win the Calder Trophy, Alex Ovechkin did. Still has yet to score more points then Gretzky at his age. HASN'T scored 50 goals yet. DIDN'T help his team to go on to the next round of the play offs, where has Gretzky did in his 2nd year while also scoring 21 points in 9 games. I'd love to go on but frankly, I'm getting bored of talking about Crosby and what I think of him because, you know what, I have countered all of the things you stated in your comment. Now, before I forget, the reasoning behind the rediculous goals comment was that those goals, he didn't have to pull his "stunts". As for his 84 assists, that's one hell of an accomplishment and he did that because HE IS A NATURAL PLAYMAKER, like Gretzky. And, BTW, Crosby doesn't make everyone look "great". Case and Point, Ryan Malone and Colby Armstrong. Lemieux made player that should never have played in the NHL like Warren Young, score 40+ goals. I'd love to go on but frankly, I'm bored of talking about Crosby.

Although I've stated many times that Montreal will never find another Roy, I could have been mistaken. Price looks like the real deal.
Price might not ever come close to Roy(3 Conn Smyth) but then again he might end up being better, I don't know if the ones out there bashing Price are even watching him play, I did and IMO I think that HE(Price) is the real deal and will be MTL's top player for years to come. Everybody talk about Price and in Montreal Hockey is more important than anything else! If Price ends up as good as he suppose to, people in Montreal will chante his name for years to come just like they did with Roy. Montreal's a Town who adores Goalies(Roy ,Dryden ect.) and hopefully Price will make us(habs Fans) forget about the lack of offense through the years and give us hope that one days we will see the cup in MTL! Price is also very different than Roy, Price is calm, quiet and compose while Patrick was a presence in the dressing room, like to talk to the media and wasn't afraid to speek his mind and probably the greatest clutch player of all time, either way the two of them are totaly different. Roy is my favorite player and always will be but nobody can argue with Price's stats!
Just wanted to tell you that while Pleks did set up the 2 on 1, Souray wired it in after Pleks passed it right on to his stick.
ok thanks. I was thinking Pleks didn't score the goal but couldn't remember who else would have been with him.
And he will probably go to the leafs with all the other free agents
yeah but he'll wait until he's 36-37 and won his stanley cups with us!!then when he washed up and a has been then he will be a laff!!just like most of the washed up veterans of today they want toronto as there retirement home

Here is a picture of my latest folly! Half Inch Hexies!!
I layed out the project on top, but you can barely see it here.
Please notice that the hexies are as big as the thimble, bobbins or my fingertip. I thought it would be fun to make a small project . . .just for fun so I can say I did it! So I decided to make a dresser scarf. That pink, grey and red strip on the top of the picture is the project.
They actually don't take long to form around the foundation papers. What takes a long time is making enough of them to cover anything! Since I am using freezer paper for the hexies, I don't have to deal with pins or glue, just iron then on to the fabric.
I will keep you posted on this project.
Next time I use this size, I will make coasters . . . LOL!
Can't even imagine doing a king size quilt!!!

In many ways, we have made tremendous strides toward that equal society, but that progress is mixed with strong backlash, as well. The recent Pride image of a rainbow Oreo posted by Kraft Foods on Facebook reveals the mainstream corporate support for the LGBTQ community, but it also elicited a stream of anti-gay commentary. This year has seen similar conflict over same-sex marriage in the United States. In a historic first, President Obama and Vice-President Biden both came out in support of legal recognition for same-sex marriage (the first sitting president of the U.S. to do so). However, this endorsement followed the passage of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships in North Carolina, the 30th state in the U.S. to pass such an amendment.
In his keynote speech at How Do You Do It?, Luke Jensen (University of Maryland) shared his lifetime of experiences in the trenches as an LGBTQ advocate. As he marked various components of the struggle (HIV/AIDS, hate crimes, bullying, invisibility), I was struck by how far we have come over the years . . . and how far we still have to go. For example, attitudes towards same-sex marriage have clearly changed in recent years. While only 35% of Americans favored legalizing same-sex marriage in 2001, 47% indicated support in 2012, according to Pew research polls. A recent ABC poll (April 2012) found that 53% of Americans favored legalizing same-sex marriage. In short, polls indicate increasing support for legalizing same-sex marriage, but the country is still split on the issue, with strong feelings on both sides.
I can easily understand passionate support for legalizing same-sex marriage. There are a host of legal rights and benefits that are accorded with the marriage certificate, ranging from hospital visitation and medical decision making to child custody and retirement benefits. In the U.S., same-sex relationships are not accorded any of the federal benefits of marriage, and are only accorded state-level benefits in the handful of states that have legalized same-sex marriage. In short, this is a matter of basic equality and nondiscrimination. In addition, legal recognition of same-sex relationships sends a clear message that such relationships are valid family forms, providing social recognition of the diversity of the American family.
But why the impassioned opposition to legalizing same-sex marriage? What prompts some of the vitriolic comments made by those opposed to same-sex marriage? (You can read some examples here and here, if you wish.)
One might easily gloss this opposition as based in homophobia, and indeed, those opposed to gay marriage hold more anti-gay attitudes than those who support same-sex marriage. Many of the factors that correlate with homophobia also predict opposition to same-sex marriage. Those who are older, conservative, religiously observant, and male are likely to hold more anti-gay attitudes and are also statistically more likely to oppose same-sex marriage. Those who are younger, liberal, less religiously observant, female, and who know someone who is LGBT tend to have less sexual prejudice and are more likely to support same-sex marriage (you can see this in the Pew research, as well as Pearl & Paz Galupo, 2007). So sure, some of this stems from anti-gay prejudice. But I don't think that is the whole story.
In preparing for a presentation on same-sex marriage in 2010, I was struck by a 2009 Pew report indicating that a majority of Americans at the time opposed same-sex marriage, but were in favor of same-sex civil unions. In fact, among those who opposed same-sex marriage in 2009, 30% were in favor of same-sex civil unions. If this is simply a result of anti-gay attitudes, why the support for civil unions? Why not just oppose any kind of legal recognition?
I was also puzzling over the repeated rhetoric that same-sex marriage was a "threat" to marriage. This has been a common theme among those opposed to same-sex marriage. Rush Limbaugh called President Obama's support of legalizing same-sex marriage as a "war on traditional marriage", a sentiment that a number of others have echoed. How do two men getting married pose a threat to the husband and wife down the block? I wasn't getting what this threat might be.
The key to understanding both is to grasp how the conservative framing of marriage relates to gender roles. In her analysis of the religious right's arguments against gay marriage in Australia, Jane Edwards (2007) identifies the key assumption that marriage is seen as sacred. They see marriage as based in a natural order, fixed and immutable in its structure and meaning. Marriage, in this discourse, is a sacredly ordained social structure based in complementary gender roles, which are, in turn, derived from the natural differences between men and women. But Edwards argues that the insistence on heteronormative marriage stems largely from anxiety about the male role and the status of contemporary masculinity. Without the requirement of marriage, boys might grow up in fatherless families (as only the legal bonds of marriage inspire men to stay in the family).
"The preoccupation with fatherless families not only expresses disquiet over the masculinity of fatherless sons, it contains a barely concealed fear about the prospect of men becoming redundant in the eyes of women and society in general. The role of men, according to voices in the religious right, is being devalued, if not discarded. The culprit in the declining fortunes of men is women's decreasing dependence on marriage." (Edwards, 2007, p. 252).In essence, the religious right's argument goes like this:
- Marriage is a natural social form that has never changed.
- Women will only marry men if they are dependent upon them.
- Without marriage, men will abandon their families.
- Boys who grow up without fathers will not be masculine.
- Therefore, marriage is vitally important to providing men with their masculine identity and role, including the power and authority they hold over women.
Secondly, same-sex marriage establishes that marriage need not be based on gender roles, complementary or otherwise. In that sense, it challenges the fundamental assumption of the natural gender order that supports patriarchy and gender roles more broadly. If the marriage between two women is just as valid as the marriage between a man and a woman, there is no guaranteed role for men. Men are not required (of course, neither are women), which feeds the fear that men will be redundant and will lose their place in society.
If this same discourse underpins the conservative opposition to same-sex marriage in the United States (and I suspect it does), same-sex marriage is a threat to the idea of "traditional marriage" -- it destabilizes the inevitability of the particulars of the Leave it to Beaver image of the nuclear family (husband as economic provider and head of household, wife as dependent and domestically bound) as the only appropriate form of family. It challenges the notion of gender roles and patriarchy as natural and ideal. But that ideal is only a myth; it does not represent the majority of American families, and probably never did.
But I would argue that same-sex marriage is not a threat to the American family. Instead, it could be seen as part of a larger movement for greater individuality and freedom within the family. By challenging the assumptions of traditional marriage, the marriage equality movement represents freedom for all of us. Freedom from the limitations and constrictions of gender roles. Freedom to create and foster relationships that meet our needs. Freedom to choose, rather than following someone else's idea of how our family ought to look.
This isn't just an abstract issue for me. I live in Maryland, which recently legalized same-sex marriage, a law that will be challenged by a voter referendum in November. As I see it, the vote will not only be a commentary on LGBTQ equality; it will also be a referendum on gender equality and on an inclusive model of family. Our struggles are bound together. Don't believe me? Go see the Portraits of Life: LGBT Stories of Being exhibit at Montgomery College (Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus). It's a moving and wonderful exhibit. The introduction notes:
"The people featured in this exhibit are our friends, family members, colleagues, and neighbors. Through their daily work in business, government, education, human services, the arts, and in nearly every aspect of community life, they make our county a better place for everyone."Go see the exhibit. And be sure to vote in November.

Dennis O'Driscoll on money
(from Irish Times, an extract from Dennis O'Driscoll's poem >>>)
Paper Trail
Once, money had credibility. Its word was its bond.
The story it told was backed up by casket-shaped gold bullion
interred in cold, calculating vaults of central banks.
Once, money added up, was secure in its identity, knew
exactly what it stood for. It had standing: was seed capital,
buying power, providence, a healthy reserve for future needs.
The love of money was the root of evil. Yet thrift was virtuous.
Saving was good for the soul. ...
Then the bottom line turned notional; losses, gains
proved mere statistics, collateral for loans a default mode

- 1 tbsp olive oil shopping list
- 2 small shallots, diced shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- crushed red pepper, to taste shopping list
- 1/2 cup arborio rice shopping list
- 1/4 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine shopping list
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped basil (optional) shopping list
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan shopping list
How to make it
- Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce heat to low & keep warm.
- Squeeze excess moisture out of shredded zucchini using a clean dish towel or paper towels.
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan/skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and saute 2-3 minutes - until softened - stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic and crushed red pepper. Saute for another minute.
- Add rice. Stir to coat & toast for 1-3 minutes.
- Carefully add vermouth/wine and cook, stirring, until no liquid remains, about 2-3 minutes.
- Begin adding stock 1/4 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more.*
- Fold in zucchini with last 1/4 cup of stock.
- Stir in basil and Parmesan, mix well and remove from heat.
- *This process takes about 20 minutes in total. Rice should be creamy (not mushy) and slightly firm in the center. If your rice hasn't become tender enough by this point, add more liquid by 1/4 cup measures using same technique - may use more stock or water.

The menu: is a sandwich lover's delight, with a few additions to jazz it up. There are several burgers to choose from, including my go-to of the mushroom swiss bacon burger for $6.25.
Sandwiches from the grill range from the B.L.T. to the shrimp po boy to the hot roast beef and gravy sub. There are also steak finger and chicken strip baskets.
For lighter faire, try the turkey breast sandwich or maybe the stuffed tomato, filled with your choice of chicken or tuna salad.
A selection of nachos will feed your Tex-Mex fix, and baked potatoes round out your options.
You can have a traditional potato with butter, bacon, cheese and sour cream or get a little wild with the hot roast beef and gravy potato. Sides include fries and tots, as well as onion rings and jalapeno poppers.
Prices: range from $3.95 for the basic burger to $6.95 for the burrito supreme. For any
sandwich, make it a combo with fries and a 20 oz. drink for an additional $3.25 or chips and a drink for $2.50 more.
Recommendations: Paula and Crystal work downtown and eat at Chuck's at least once a week. Paula said she orders the chicken and gravy potato often. I don't blame her — it's ginormous and delicious-looking.
Crystal couldn't make up her mind and told me that everything's good and the people are so nice. I must agree with her on that — the folks behind the counter always have a smile on their face and treat you like family.
Don't miss: the Reuben, if you're that kind of sandwich eater. It was delicious, and the grilled bread was amazing.
And if you're smart, you'll save some room for dessert. There is only one option, but that is all you need: chocolate cake. It is the perfect texture with the most incredibly perfect icing and is pretty much necessary.
The drink situation: Sodas and iced tea will adequately quench your thirst. The sweet tea is a winner.
Atmosphere: is the epitome of downtown sandwich shop. Charming and simple, there are small tables scattered around and a great window view. Just get in line, make your order and be seated with your number so they can bring it to you.
Extras and specials: For early birds, lovers of the morning, or downtown workers in a hurry, there is a great breakfast menu served from 6:30 to 10 a.m.
There is the breakfast burrito or breakfast sandwich, or try the breakfast plate with two eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns, toast and jelly for just $5.50.
The verdict: I love discovering food gems, especially in our historic downtown. If you haven't been down there lately for anything besides some clubbing at Crockett Street, then it's definitely time to make a trip during daylight hours and get you some grub at Chuck's Sandwich Shop.
Chuck's Sandwich Shop
Where: 493 Pearl S., Beaumont
Info: (409) 832-7770
Hours: 6:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Mon. – Fri.

Throw the bums out.
That's the message 60 percent of Americans are sending to Washington in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, saying if they had the chance to vote to defeat and replace every single member of Congress, including their own representative, they would. Just 35 percent say they would not.
The 60 percent figure is the highest-ever in that question recorded in the poll, registered in the wake of the government shutdown and threat of the U.S. defaulting on its debt for the first time in history. If the nation's debt limit is not increased one week from now, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warns that the entire global economy could be in peril.
(Read more: No deal yet, but offer by GOP on debt shifts the tone)
"We continue to use this number as a way to sort of understand how much revulsion there is," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted the poll with Republican Bill McInturff. "We now have a new high-water mark."

Summary: In these fantasies the porn star and amateur babes talk dirty and guide you through stroking your hard cock until you cum. They'll get horny, too, taking off their clothes to squeeze their big tits, rubbing their wet pussies, and wiggling their naked asses for you until they push you over the edge. They have some fun fantasies for every encounter - religious moms draining your 'nasty naughty cum' before you go on dates with their daughters, secretaries showing you how they help their bosses release some stress, and much more!

Intro promises
"Where the girls teach the boys how to beat their meat!"
- Over 1200 streaming videos
First impression
Your wife's friend. Your girlfriend's religious mother. The girl you're interviewing for a secretary position. These babes and more will all help you to work your hard cock and guide you through masturbating while showing you their naked tits and pussy. And when it's time to cum they'll ask you to shoot it all over their pretty faces in unique scenes with erotic dirty talk that is sure to get you off.
Payment Processors:
Our opinion
Men are notorious for not following the instructions, but when they are Jerk Off Instructions from hot porn star and amateur girls, I think you'll see that the stereotype is wrong.
A lot of different scenarios with many different girls
These are no cocks, no cum shots, no sex in these movies. Like the tin says, these movies offer you jerk off instructions, but there's a little more to it than that. Each scene is a 8 to 10-minute long scenario. The girls are role playing, talking dirty, guiding you in how to touch and stroke your hard cock while cooing in approval. They'll undress, touch their naked breasts, show you their pussy, bend over to thrust their naked ass towards you, and urge you in a breathless gasp to cum on them. Their role playing is really erotic and unique. One of my favorite scenes is of Kendra Lust playing the role of a religious mom who wants you to empty that "dirty, nasty, naughty cum" from your hard cock before you go on a date with her daughter.
Streaming-only and no high definition
These movies look good and have a good sound quality, but none of the scenes approach HD quality. You can choose between Low, High and Mega quality streams but the best of the options is still standard-definition. In terms of quality, it was good enough; but I was disappointed that none of the movies could be downloaded permanently. You have to login and use their video player to stream them live.
A massive, massive library
There were 1,303+ movies in the library at Jerk Off Instructions at the time of my visit. This is just a huge amount of content for such a unique an original site. Every single day they add a new video so every day you have something fresh to check out, plus a back-log of scenes to catch up on.
A nice members area, and the size of the site and frequency of updates make up for the streaming-only limitations
The members area lets you sort by category, date, and popularity, so you can search and dig up specific types of fantasies with ease. With a new scene daily and such a big collection, the site really delivers enough new value each month to make a continuous subscription worthwhile, so the streaming-only limitations aren't as bad as they seemed at first.
The site has a huge number of jerk off instruction movies with hot porn stars and amateurs. Milfs, co-eds, latinas and British babes - you'll find all types of girls in all types of role playing fantasies getting naked and telling you just how they like you to stroke it while watching them.
Sex POV is produced by the same people and has a similar erotic dirty talk approach to POV porn. No cocks, big cum shots at the end, and intense one-on-one experiences with hot porn stars and amateurs.
Brainwashed Teens episodes features hot 18 to 23-year-old patients having their minds controlled by a horny doctor. Once they're mind is warped, he gets the girls to jerk him off, suck his dick, masturbate for him and eat his cum.

Jay-Z has admitted that he can't "intervene" in Rihanna's life.
Rihanna - who is signed to Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation - has often hit the headlines for her controversial behaviour.
However, Jay-Z told Hot 97's The Angie Show that he would never offer unsolicited advice.
"I give information when asked," he said. "I let everyone make their own decision.
"That's not my place [to interfere]. I can't control the outcome of her life. I can't intervene. I can give advice if asked, you know, and that's it. I can provide information, and then life has to play out. Life has to happen."
Jay-Z did joke that he is "really good" at giving advice, but admitted that he doesn't read celebrity gossip - such as the status of Rihanna's relationship with Chris Brown.
"I'm not into that," he said. "I don't have enough time in the day to invest in it."
Watch Jay-Z speaking about Rihanna below:

In my February Birchbox I received a small sample of Stainiac by theBalm. I was pleasantly surprised to find this inside my box, as they majority of the products were either skincare or haircare. The Stainiac is very similar to Benefit's 'Benetint' as it's a pop of colour for either the lips or cheeks. I have yet to try it on my cheeks, but I thought I would give my opinion on what happens when it is on the lips.
At first application there doesn't seem to be much colour pay off. The lips look a touch deeper in colour but there isn't a lot of a difference. What I realised is the colour needed to be built up, layer by layer. After a few coats the lips have a beautiful red tint. With it being a tint you don't expect much colour, but I was surprised on how little you actually got. It felt like I was constantly dragging my lips backwards and forwards due to the amount of layers I applied.
At the start the stain feels nice as it has not dried or sunk into my lips. However, after a few minutes my lips started to feel very dry and I had to apply some lip balm over the top to prevent them from what felt like cracking. I had high hopes as I love the 'Benetint' but unfortunately this specific product didn't live up to them.
Have you tried this product before? Is it any better for your cheeks?

YG Acoustics has announced its latest creation, the Sonja XV. The Sonja XV is a four-tower version of the company's own Sonja. Why now? Well, the new Sonja XV has been developed, named and introduced now to commemorate YG Acoustics 15 (XV) year anniversary, which will happen on Feb. 20, 2017.
The new Sonja XV takes everything the company has learned, its innovative technologies and designs and brings it together to achieve an entirely new sonic benchmark.
Innovations include, first and foremost, a breakthrough tweeter made in-house, and proprietary cost-no-object bass inductors. These enhancements, together with an ability to move near-limitless amounts of air, result in an effortless listening experience that is typically only associated with a live musical performance.
The bass, mid-bass and midrange units are made in-house using YG Acoustics' proprietary BilletCore technology: the drivers are precisely machined out of massive slabs of aircraft-grade aluminum. This unique process offers overwhelmingly superior dynamics, musical delicacy and low distortion due to industry-leading rigidity and accuracy (tight tolerances). A pair of Sonja™ XV utilizes a total of 18 BilletCore drivers.
The brand new BilletDome tweeter is YG Acoustics' most complex mechanical invention to date: a resonance-free soft dome is supported by a stiff, light airframe machined from aluminum billet. The airframe weighs a mere 30 milligrams (a thousandth of an ounce), but its critical sections are up to 14 times thicker than a typical hard dome, so its structural strength is vastly superior even to domes made of the most exotic hard materials. Finally, a tweeter that ends the age-old debate of hard versus soft, by combining the best of both.
The tweeter's motor is YG Acoustics' ingenious ForgeCore system: in-house CNC-cutting introduces sophisticated 3D geometries into the magnet system. The resulting improvement is greatly reduced distortion and a sense of ease to the sound.
YG Acoustics crossover circuits are all created using proprietary software developed entirely in-house. DualCoherent technology provides the best frequency response and relative phase available. Competing speakers are optimized in either the frequency domain (most common) or time domain. Only YG Acoustics™ has the ability to optimize both domains simultaneously.
Sonja XV's bass crossover uses a brand new technology: ViseCoil inductors are CNC-wound in-house, then encased in a viselike milled structure to eliminate vibration and tighten tolerances. Residual loss is reduced by 24%, and linearity is improved by 60%. The result is better control over the woofers, far greater bass impact, and an easier job for most amplifiers.
Sonja XV's mid and tweeter crossover uses ToroAir technology: in-house CNC-wound toroidal air-core inductors are unique in eliminating crosstalk (cross-contamination) common in crossover circuits. The result is preservation of high-frequency detail without harshness, brightness or sibilance.
Sonja XV's exquisite cabinet combines visual refinement with over-engineering. It is constructed of precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. This material, using vibration-free pressurized assembly, allows for the most acoustically desirable enclosure achievable. The multilayered structure is optimized for each module's specific frequency range. This ensures the lowest vibration achievable, even at extreme volume levels.
FocusedElimination anti-resonance technology keeps mechanical losses lower than any competing speaker, by combining the minimized turbulence of a sealed design with the low friction otherwise associated with enclosure-free concepts.
YG Acoustics speakers are not voiced. All measurements are verified using extensive listening tests, but the speakers are not artificially manipulated. YG Acoustics™ speakers simply convey the recording – nothing more, nothing less.
The end-result: Sonja XV is the closest that YG Acoustics has ever come to the natural sound of a live performance. It will be heard by few and attained by even fewer, but those who hear it will likely echo the statement that YG
Expansions and Upgrades
Existing pairs of YG Acoustics Sonja can be expanded to Sonja XV, without the need to replace the speakers.
Sonja XV, in addition to its state-of-the-art two-channel (stereo) performance, is also fully compatible with multichannel audio and home-theater systems. Sonja XV can also be combined with speakers from YG Acoustics™' other lines for properly phase-coherent multichannel systems.
The new Sonja XV will be available at a MSRP of: $265,900 U.S./pair. Look for more details on this product at: http://www.yg-acoustics.com

When introducing new food into your baby's diet, always follow The 3-Day Rule.
Offer the new food at least once a day for 3 days. If a new food is irritating your little one's system, it can take up to 3 days to show up as a symptom.
Offer the new food earlier in the day, for breakfast or lunch. If baby has an uncomfortable reaction (like gas) you're less likely to spend the whole night awake helping her deal with it.
Watch for symtoms of an allergic reaction. Common symptoms include but aren't limited to:
- nausea
- vomiting or spitting up
- rash (anywhere on body, but especially around mouth and in diaper area)
- sneezing
- coughing
- runny nose
- changes in stools (amount, odor, color, frequency)
- changes in energy
- changes in mood
Let her rest for 3 days. Some of these symptoms are also associated with teething, so follow your gut. If you notice any symptoms that seem unusual for your child, cut the new food from their diet immediately and pay careful attention for the next 3 days to see if those symptoms disappear. You can re-introduce the new food after all symptoms have subsided to rule out the possibility of another factor like teething or a cold.

Sunday, May 29th, 2005 * 1:57PM
It's been over five months since I've posted anything of note here on this site due to my own physical limitations, the Mirade haters of the world seem to enjoy MWFprowrestling.com more without my opinions and ramblings. However, after the passing of Dan "Spider" Quirk tonight, I felt the need to vent. After sitting here pretty angry for the past few hours, I decided to make a call and have this posted.
We're in the middle of a three week MWF ULTRA production break, so it was a quiet weekend until 11:10PM tonight when I received a phone call about how a botched move in Spider's match tonight at a UCW card in Taunton, MA resulted in his death. I called some friends to share the news and then my phone starting ringing off the hook. We made sure to put an item up in the Newsline about his death and then message board fever hit. I looked at the MWF History section on the site and realized that Spider is the first person ever associated with this organization that has passed away. And I thought some more...what was it all for?? I didn't know Dan Quirk extremely well....I thought he was a nice enough kid, very respectful and someone who had a passion for the business. It's sad anytime you hear about someone that's only two years younger than you die, nevermind how and why it happened. What has made me
is that I envision this happening again in the future. The following thoughts are not meant to be a knock against Spider, the promotion he worked for or his opponent (I don't even know who that is).
When a "name" in wrestling dies, everyone talks about it. Their legacies are written about and fans honor them in a variety of ways. What most fans of mainstream wrestling don't realize is what a corrupt business it is that they're fans of. When an "independent" wrestler dies, people might read a quick blurb about it....and then it's forgotten. On to the next PPV or Monday Night Raw. To the friends and family of all of the Dan Quirk's out there, harmless people out to live their dream and entertain the fans, they couldn't care less. They'll care on July 19th, when Spider was to turn 23 years old. They'll remember everytime a holiday comes around that he's not there for, or a piece of mail comes in his name.
Who do you blame for deaths like this?? Wrestling is
that's why I get so angry everytime I hear someone call it "fake." Was what happened earlier in the night "fake?"
Hardly. There are minor and severe injuries everynight. It's a physical business. But I ask, when did professional wrestling start to lose the "professional" aspect of it?
Back in the "good old days" not EVERYONE that wanted to be a professional wrestler could be one. Not everyone that goes to Hollywood becomes a movie star. I'm a huge Red Sox fan, but that doesn't mean Terry Francona is going to insert me into the starting line-up. PROFESSIONALS do it. So why is it in wrestling, ANYONE can do it?? There are dozens if not hundreds of "schools" in operations in this country. How many of them are operated by a mark that belongs sitting at home watching it on TV, someone that was never trained properly themselves? Then there are the schools that will allow anyone with a pocket full of money become a "wrestler." And what happens?? You have a classic example of the blind leading the blind. You have untrained guys "working" with each other, putting each others safety at risk.
And what happens after you've been "schooled?" You've gotta wrestle on shows. Since the internet became big ten or so years ago, information travels easy. Any fool with a little money can buy a ring and rent a small dump that hold 40 people and have a "wrestling show." If you watch it on TV, you can do it for real right? Then reality sets in....if you have no idea how to promote an event, no one is going to go. If no one goes, you're not going to be able to pay the boys and that means you have very little "talent" to pick from. Who can you get to "work" for free or next to nothing? Those that don't know any better. Those that have trained at the aforementioned schools. The un-professional. Now these horrendous displays are being presented in front of fans that don't know any better, destroying the quality of indy wrestling and it's fan base completely. At the end of the night, the only people getting worked are the "workers" themselves. The only people they're entertaining are themselves. Some people don't care about the impact and impression they make, they just want to go out, hear the "pop," and pretend they're Austin for ten minutes when in reality they're not even a blip on the radar screen and NOBODY except for themselves cares. It's an insult to what was "professional wrestling."
I'd never knock someone for living their dream. I was blessed to be brought into a world I loved since I was six years old when I wasn't even in high school yet. However, I was taught to respect the business....I watched, I listened, I learned. Almost twelve years later, I still try to learn. I was lucky enough to be brought into wrestling the old school way thanks to Tony Rumble, the way that everyone should be forced to. No one treated the business as if it was a joke or if they were "entitled" to anything - they were GRATEFUL to be a part of something they loved. When I see these clueless fools getting together like middle aged guys at a softball game, then trying to compare themselves to the Red Sox....it baffles me....sometimes I laugh, sometimes I'm sick to my stomach. I'm sure those in fantasy land will take issue with my opinion, but it is the truth. Ask any professional wrestler and they'll agree.
The character of Spider is done. Dan Quirk will never take another breath. Wrestling will go on, as it always does. These schools will continue to mis-train and horrible shows will continue to ruin what the pro's used to do. These clueless individuals will hang out at a bar after the show, patting themselves on the back after blowing a dozen spots in front of 30 people for $10 and turning off the fan base. What's even sadder than the fact that these schools and promotions even exist is that there are many Dan Quirk situations waiting to happen. For his sake and his families sake, I hope that wrestling can police itself and weed out those that don't belong. If I expect that to happen, I'm the one living in fantasy land....
Rest in peace my friend...
Dan Mirade

There's no question that barbecues belong to summer, but the end of the warm weather doesn't mean you have to stop eating outdoors. Instead, pack up the barbie and try one of the new breed of outdoor ovens on the market.
We asked chef James Coleman from the award-winning Rocket Cafe in Northland to test drive this Broady's Garden Oven, so he came up with these recipes for a cosy, outdoor winter dinner.
Being novices, we lit the Broady's mid-afternoon, thinking it'd take an age to heat up, but these clever cast iron models are almost as speedy as an outdoor oven.
Fuelled with kindling and a few small logs, it was up to temperature in less than half and hour. Everything cooked beautifully, and when dinner was (sadly) over, a few more logs gave us an outdoor fire for the rest of the evening.
Breads pizzas and pastries are fabulous cooked this way, and we've sinced discovered the Broady's also excels itself with slow roasted tomatoes (in fact roast anything), casseroles and stewed fruit puds.
Once upon a time, the kitchen was more than a room where meals were made. It was the original family room, and in the country kitchen the heart of the room was the wood-burning cooker
Wishing you all a safe and happy Term 2 winter holiday. For those heading to the mountains I believe there is plenty of snow.
