Travel hockey at age 10 is 70% keeping up with the Joneses, 20% drinking/hanging with the other parents, and 10% making the kid happy/perception of giving greater opportunity. It's also about 97% built on credit card debt.
I've never had a kid who played, so can't say I'm familiar with the environment. But dang this is exactly how I perceive it.

I'll wear my Wild sweater until Zane gets in, then switch to my Bruins. Zane can pitch a shutout, since Subban will have given up 4
Damn close!

Clearly Berry needs to keep juggling lines until we can form up an unforgettable acronym.
I'd be up for putting Poganski on the top line with Boeser and Jost.
Maybe they are the BeeJGees (the J is sort of silent here)

All you need is a couple of Labrador Retrievers to take care of the problem No firearms needed.
My younger dog Max barks at them as they climb all over the north fence. I swear, I saw one giving him the finger.
I just put down my girl (14+ years old
) in May. But she was a good bird dog and I taught her not to chase squirrels and rabbits. So while she was great out in the field, she didn't help much with the rodents in the yard

In this day and age these were stupid posts to put on social media. But they weren't particularly threatening either. These are good learning opportunities for kids who may have had little exposure to a diverse environment and the implications of social media. I can remember back to when I was at college and did some pretty stupid stuff. I could have easily done something this thoughtless (and probably did) but because we lacked social media it didn't wrongly implicate a whole institution, and the ramifications to me were not so severe. With maturity and exposure you gain more wisdom about how to interact socially.
If the resulting investigation proves some sort of punishment is warranted, fine. But I don't think these situations raise to the level of the worst of racial discrimination or threat.

Speak for yourself Kennedy. I, for one, do not want a "swift resolution." I want any investigative process to be slow, deliberate, and above all, fair with full due process rights. I don't like Kennedy pandering to the pitchfork mob and treating due process as some unfortunate pesky procedural barrier to an immediate tar and feathering.
I didn't take it that he was trying to make it a swift process. I thought he was trying to communicate that the best process is the one that follows the correct protocols, and that would be done in this case.

This is either:
(a) Another terrible, unseemly incident, or
(b) Four chicks, affiliations unknown, getting mud facials, took a pic and someone (again who and affiliations unknown) modified the picture and used to prank the uptight sphincters in admin.(I'm now looking out my window for the UPD car to pull up for that (b) thing. Surely that was offensive.)
The one on the right looks like a guy to me

The mall terrorist had a gun, but saw a sign stating the mall was a gun free zone so he left the gun in the car and headed to Bed,Bath,and Beyond to pick up a knife.
I think we can be quite thankful that he didn't have a gun

It is a sign. Got in the MGB yesterday morning and started it. The first song on the radio was "In the Air Tonight." This morning I got in the MGB and started it. The song playing was "In The Air Tonight." Time to get the season going.
Well, there's only 4 songs on your old 8 track, so......

You do know that that image is totally photo-shopped onto that hat, right? I'll withhold judgement until I actually see a real hat.
Oy! Fooled me.

This on the SiouxShop website . . . I'd buy that.
What I like about this is the hawk pops and the ND fades into the background a bit. A little less corporatey IMO. Not bad.

Need a link to a good pellet gun? May scare the neighbors as it looks like a real rifle.
I've been trapping and disposing of them but they're like the Russians in WWII. they just keep coming, and you can't get 'em all. I do have a pellet gun but these days in the city I don't carry it around the yard. That's asking for trouble.

If I'm interpreting dagies' post right, I think what he's saying is, be very cautious of the BIG's motives on anything they might propose as it's probably something self-serving.
Clearly we're not married. You understand me.

University of North Dakota Hockey 2016 - 2017 Season
in Men's Hockey

Duluth is a big, physical, fast, skilled, mature team (with very solid D) who got really good goaltending this weekend. It's always hard to beat a team like that. I think it's objective to say the performance on Friday was below standards despite the opponent. From what I could glean listening to the radio last night it seemed like this team had a really good start to the game for the first period +. Duluth capitalized on an error and things turned a bit. But for a younger, less mature team this probably shouldn't be cause for great alarm. Adversity helps identify those areas of weakness, which helps build for a better future if the team is successful at addressing those areas.
I remember being very discouraged at the Frozen Face-Off last March because this team looked....about like they looked this weekend. And look how the next two weekends turned out.
I'm not predicting a championship caliber performance next weekend. What I'm getting at is a weekend like this doesn't have to define a season. I'll wait to see how things play out before getting too excited.
