Is that Max Headroom?
Mega early on the GDT, too. Nice.
Colorado’s return to earth starts tonight.

You are correct sir…
Unrelated:
I haven’t been paying attention to Colorado this season, but I was really rooting for the Caps to pick up Cody McLeod from the Avalanche when I’d seen him in action in his 1st two years. Not a particularly big point scorer but their #1 penalty guy. He did get 2 goals and a fighting major in a game against Detroit in October.
I’m gonna miss most of the game but I’ll DVR it and check it out later. I’ll probably catch the end with Sct112 after my team is done eviscerating his team; if he’s not too shamed to share a beer with me. Hopefully I’m not immediately enraged when I head down to Bailey’s after the game. Go Caps!
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Even he is better than ShaMo? And Pothier is out, too, so they need a warm body on D?
Best I could come up with…
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
But ShaMo is in as well. Jurcina is out.

People were saying it before: if you want to trade em you gotta show em.
If you don’t put em out you don’t get em out
In my mind, Erskine has zero trade value. But in any case, whatever trade value he has, it isn’t likely to change much with a few games. He’s a known commodity.

That’d be cool, and we’d all appreciate the insights, but first and foremost enjoy the game. Don’t miss a goal because you’re typing on a tiny screen.

Ugh
been dreading this one for a long time, my wife is a diehard Avs fan and shes excited (rightfully so) about her team this year. This house is definitely divided and we’ll see if it stands after tonight…
I think tonight’s game may be one of the most important of the season so far, for whatever that’s worth. There’s the need to get back on track after an awful week, start the road trip off right, game 1 of the “Alzner’s here to stay” and “Nylander is gone” eras, and it’s against one of the top teams in the standings. December tilts don’t get much bigger than this.

Its actually a video game reference, from a fairly old game, so I think that makes us the dorky ones
For some reason it doesn’t feel that old. Maybe cause the movie came out a couple years ago and Dirge of Cerberus and whatnot. :S
But wow now that I think about it, it is fairly old.
Yeah I was like 8 or 9yrs old! I got the game a year or two after for the PC since I never had a PS. I still have it, but never completed it. I have a horrible track record of never finishing games, haha.
I’m in the same boat about finishing games. I still have N64 games I never finished.

One thing I love about Japers Rink:
D-bags like MHBears are few and far between.
Guys, guys, guyyyys….I am spelling it CINDY Crosby. Like the girls names.
I came over to see what Varlamov’s time table is for his return and I get treated to MHBears wittiness.
Anyways, you guys should all be watching this game until the Caps game starts. Very good. Even if CINDY dominates the Flyers.
We are, and we are.
Varly is traveling with the team and laced up his skates today. That doesn’t mean he’ll be playing anytime soon, but it does mean he gets to help pay for the rookie dinner.
We’re crossing our fingers and thanks for asking.
ALEX, FĐŻEE
Dude, unnecessary. No need for that. You know that people do the same thing with Ovechkin over on Pensburgh. Sometimes you just have to let it slide. Varlamov is on the trip so he presumably could be playing within the next couple games. This game has been good… for my fantasy team!
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Point taken. I went a little too far with it. I apologize.
Also, to address a post above – I don’t care that Ovechkin has played like 10 less games than Crosby. The fact that they have the same number of goals is fine with me. I wouldn’t have believed you if you would’ve said before the season that they’d have the same number of goals after one game.
You getting the PIMs out of this game F&B? Or do you have Crosby?
It’s all good. I have Crosby and MAF so right now it’s looking alright. Also have Gooch and Gogo but they haven’t done much yet.

Except the model of perfect competition is stupid and flawed. Product differentiation is how it works but that violates the model. So stupid.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
The model’s fine. It’s when people try and pretend that the model’s applicable to real life that you get in trouble.
Fair enough. But if it’s not applicable to the real world then it defeats some of the purpose, no? Plus, in economic terms I was raised by Austrians so “real” economists are always so condescending about it. I’m more about the logic of it than the numbers because of some of the points I’ve alluded to.

Yeah – an MBA is really, really great practice for what you actually do in business, as opposed to most other degrees I can think of. In fact, if you can swing a dual JD/MBA (I did mine in 3 years) you are armed for bear for any business situation you might encounter

Sure, but I don’t know how much it’s worth. The biggest (and simplest) pieces of advice I have are:
- Apply early. The government takes forever to go through job applications
- Preview listings for the types of jobs you might be interested in on USAJobs.com and see if there’s anything you can do in the meantime to make yourself a better application by looking at the ‘Qualifications and Evaluations’ tab and reading the questions if you can.
and understand it’s a giant pain in the ass. There’s not much way around that. It can help to be a contractor first, that’s for sure.

I would say for government entry level jobs (if that’s where you’re at) three months is fast, five-six is average, and nine is long.
Oh, also! Two more things.
- If you can, talk to someone in HR and ask what kinds of answers they want to KSA questions. I’ve heard ‘write everything you can’ and I’ve heard ‘be succinct’, so…
- Part of the reason the process takes so long is that applications generally go through OPM before they get to the agencies. If you find a job you want that’s hiring via the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP), go for it. That gives agencies the authority to hire directly, so it’ll probably take longer and you’ll probably get people who are more qualified to evaluate your credentials.
Thanks, those are practical points that I hadn’t been giving much thought to. I appreciate it.

I can also vouch for most of the above points. I have an MBA, and the experience of getting one has been invaluable in my job since then. It forces you to think, forces you to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing. Being a military officer for 8 years prior to grad school certainly helped my discipline and time management skills.
I can also say that getting a government gig now is a great route to go. I’m personally a defense contractor (better $$$ and easy for ex-military to get).
Hey, I did political science too. Wound up hating politics during the summer of presidential election when my job was, essentially, to read the news all day, every day.
I refused to study American politics. I was an International security gal. Treaties and such. My advisor was a dick, though (KEOHANE!) and I decided against grad school.

I would love it if that prediction were true. But I’ll settle for the Caps winning tonight. (And, of course, no key Caps player going down with injury.)
I have my priorities straight.
Rocking the Red since 1975
No injury is tops on my list. Ima thinking the Caps win tonight, win in Canuckistan, and then stink it up in EDM. I’m more than willing to be wrong on that third part.
ALEX, FĐŻEE
Right. Sometimes the bold predictions get real close, so maybe we’ll get lucky.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
As far as I’m concerned a win is a win is a win. Especially for this road trip sans Varly. Wins are hard enough to come by in the NHL, particularly in on the road. I’m not going to sweat the style points. And agreed on the no injuries.
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Dec 15, 2009 7:39 PM EST up reply actions
I was referring to the win, because style points don’t get you anything. Although in Theo’s case, he could sure use the style points for his save pct and GAA.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I was agreeing with you about the win. I was just adding my own opinion that while a pretty 3-0 win, like Puck Daddy predicts, would be nice, I’d be happy with a 4-3 win.
Also agreed that Theo’s GAA and Save % could use the style points.

The Caps do seem to have a better track record for winning games where no one gives them a chance of winning, like the San Jose game.

The start to that Philly PP was terrible, they looked like peewees out there after winning the faceoff cleanly
And Pronger was supposed to put the Flyers “over the top” for Stanley Cup contention. Now they’re in lottery team contention.
I still think the Flyers have too much talent to be a lottery team. By the “law of averages”, they’ll do better in the second half of the season. (I also remember Pittsburgh’s bad play during a period during December/January of last season where they fell into 10th place. And got hot after firing their coach and hiring Bylsma as coach. Still, in spite of their bad stretch, they were much better than a lottery team.)
Rocking the Red since 1975
I truly thought the addition of Pronger to their crew of 20 goal scorers was going to be enough to overcome shoddy goaltending and push them to the top of the East.
Shows how much I know.
They also have been pretty plagued by injuries and i think they will improve and get hot once gange, emery, and others return and they get more used to lavi, hopefully that takes too long for them to get in the playoffs though
You know it’s bad when Carcillo is playing on the powerplay.

There will be a ĐŻeckoning for the wĐŻecking ball
Agreed do not miss those… though I’d gladly subject myself to finals again if I got 4 more years of the awesomeness that was college.

If you don’t like it then I guess not. If you do like it and it shields you from the real world, than why not?! Regardless, good luck on those finals!

You AND my brother. Sheesh. Good thing he’s leaving for Cali, now I don’t have to hear him complain every day.

C’mon man. You know I’ve been in finals for weeks now and haven’t wished me luck once. What gives? You treat me like I’m the Semin of commenters or something.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.

Trending F&B = hocked up on vicodin?

Trending F&B right now is more like “out of vidocin and all other recreational substances not tied up in baked goods.”

mmmmm, butter

What, ham and butter in a baked good? A ham and cheese croissant is proof that all three go together well.
I might just talk about food all night….

Man, that might be the next task. Up until now I’ve stuck with desert type stuff. Never considered the value of a breakfast good of that nature…
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Breakfast casserole!
The perfect combination of the swine, the bakery, eggs and salsa
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
We used to order breakfast pizza from the joint by our college. Was more awesome than I can even describe. Bacon, sausage, onions, eggs, DROOL.
I could have been equipment manager, but nooooo!
Wegman’s does those on the weekends; breakfast grease FTW.

oh, me likey.
I think I’ll try my own breakfast pizza this saturday…it’s sleepover night, and there’s nothing a flock of 13-year-old girls needs to settle them down than a barrage of calories, carbs and pork product

I’ve never understood why anyone buys the altered butter. I mean, if I want salt in something I’m baking, I’ll add it. Have you ever accidentally used salted butter for something that called for unsalted? yuck. Leave my butter unaltered, thank you.

So what is everyone’s beverage of choice this evening?
I am going with the old English favorite, Monty Python’s Holy Grail Ale :)

No booze for me tonight. Too much work, too tired, too cold.
/Need a snuggie my own self
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
If you have a bathrobe just wear it backwards. You know that’s what a snuggie is right?
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Nah, then you have the ass all hanging out. Snuggie’s a bit better than a bathrobe.
I don’t have one, but that’s what I’ve heard.
