Ah, didn’t really know the rules of this name that Flyer game. Just thought it was super cool to see Marty Murray on the front page. Always was a huge fan of his for his two years or so in Philly with the Flyers and Phantoms.
Great hockey player and a super nice guy. Not a guy who is going to go down in the books as an NHL star by any means, but he’s still a pro in his late 30s and is a very very solid guy for the AHL. Props to him for living the dream and making a living off the sport despite not being an NHL regular. Not everyone can be.
haha, yeah, there are no rules. Just wanted to make sure you knew who it was.
Murray was always a favorite of mine too.

My husband has the same kind of face, so he has the goat, too. It just makes them look less youthful (and fat in the face).

I always thought the mustache alone looked a little…weak. Clean shaven was worse. I think the goat gives him a ‘Flyer’ edge. Now he looks like he will hip check you into the boards while calling the play LOL!

That’s a good question.
We should be like The Postal Service and send each other tracks in the mail. Like maybe I’ll come up with a guitar riff and a beat and I’ll send that to you. You can lay down a bass line and send it to Hintzy for trombone lines. Then Hintzy can send it to Fezz for vocals.
Did I miss anyone?
Anyway we should debut with an EP titled There’s No Winning… so that people read it as There’s No Winning The Garrett Klotz Argument. Then we can let loose with the more ambitious Through The Wickets of Kuo.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I can play a mean triangle…just saying.

We will DEFINITELY need triangle, trombone and other instruments for the over-the-top Through The Wickets of Kuo. Trust me on this.
Travis, can you play zither? If not, can you learn?
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
You need to find someone to play electric sitar. Criss Oliva used one on a track for Edge of Thorns, and it has an awesome sound.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
Someone can get a Coral / Danelectro sitar guitar.
I used to own a sitar but I never mastered it. It’s very different from playing guitar.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
There are a few other EPs that need to be done:
Making
The Return Of
Lines From
What The Hell Is
Honor is no substitute for victory.
Lines From will be the double-live album.
What The Hell Is will be the greatest hits record (re-mastered with bonus tracks).
Making will be the boxed set.
The Return Of will be a failed experiment of us trying to be a psychobilly band.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Haha I like the idea. You are coming up with names and stuff, I can’t ever name music, to me it’s “riff 1” or “bass diddy 4”.
I like the idea with all of these obscure instruments. I didn’t mention that I also play sax but I’d have to refresh. I used to play the bassoon in HS, that’s an out there instrument, but unfortunately they are very expensive and after I graduated I had to give mine back to the school.

OK, weirdness…I was also a bassoonist (as well as a mallet percussionist) in HS. I started on percussion and transitioned to bassoon because all of our bassoonists either graduated or moved in one summer.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
We will definitely need your services on Through The Wickets of Kuo.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Weirdness indeed. The odds of two bassoon players on this board are crazy. I thin in my entire life with all the bands I’ve been in I’ve met a total of 5 bassoonists. The guy who I succeeded because he graduated and I wanted to learn it. Another kid in the county that was in symphony. One on a band trip with an all state band. And the kid who I taught who replaced me. Finally one band director in the area played bassoon. So yeah, 5, now 6. Us bassoonists are few and far between, but I really love the instrument and want to get one of my own someday.

I think you’re the fifth one I’ve known – there was another guy who learned at the same time I did, as the replacements to the ones that left. My junior year, we got two new bassoonists. In my senior year we had another freshman bassoonist come into the band. I will note that we were a huge school for music – there were three upperclassman bands (Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band) and two freshman bands, plus jazz and percussion ensembles. My senior year I was playing bassoon for two upperclassman bands and percussion for the third, as well as playing in the percussion ensemble.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
Wow, I can’t imagine a band with three bassoonists.
I went to a school where music was big but not as huge as yours. We had a Stage Band (Jazz band), concert band, and Marching Band. The area had a youth symphony which I was a part of for only two years.
I was on a band trip to Europe, big thing but I was the only Bassoonist surprisingly, where there was a choir and everything going all around. For the lions club all state band trip I did the one bassoonist had been playing his entire music life, so that was cool to play with him.
I forgot one, in my senior year the principal musicians in the youth symphony were invited to play with the regular symphony for one concert, and the principal bassoonist I never met until then. Where I went to high school the area a lot of the musicians knew each other and knew the good high school musicians (and everybody knows my sax teacher lol). All the area band directors were in the symphony, so the other bassoonist in the symphony is the one director I mentioned before.
But I had to self teach myself the instrument over a summer between my Freshman year and Sophomore year since there was going to be no bassoon in concert band. I unfortunately never made district band or any further (but made county band all 3 years). Cool thing is that the kid I taught to replace me made District Band, Region band, and All-State band in PA, so that was good.

I went to a huge school down here – we had almost 5,000 students my senior year. About 350 were in band at various levels. I did All-County for percussion, but never for bassoon, since I started doing mallets when I was 8. My senior year, I sat first chair mallet, while my protege for percussion was second chair drums/auxiliary. Our symphony had actually ceased performing while I was in middle school; a lot of the musicians in the area ended up performing for Disney.
Bassoon is an instrument that’s good to learn for educational reasons. I was actually offered two different scholarships without auditioning based on tapes that college directors had gotten of judged concerts I played in. I ended up turning them both down, since I had burned out from playing too much my senior year.
By the end of that year, I was playing bassoon for the Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, one of the freshman bands (they were performing a piece that needed a bassoon, and our freshman bassoonist was in the other freshman band), and an outside concert group, and playing percussion for the Symphonic Band, the percussion ensemble, and our Winter Drumline. It ended up just being too much. I taught percussion for a year in college, and played two more concerts on bassoon, but haven’t done anything organized muscally for at least five years.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
This list of credentials doesn’t fit your name as well as I would have liked it to have.
Is this the right room for an argument?
I’m a walking contradiction – my MP3 playlist has Metal Church, Santana, Pink Floyd, and Barenaked Ladies featuring prominently. I’m in Florida and I like hockey. I’m a percussionist who can’t play drum set, and a mallet player that doesn’t play keyboard. Heck, I played catcher in Little League and goalie in soccer. That alone should be enough to warn anyone that I’m a bit unique ;)
Honor is no substitute for victory.
(this is replying to both your posts)
That is crazy a large school. Mine had 1200 and is the largest in the area. I never got any scholarships for bassoon but that is mostly because I didn’t persue music in college. But that’s a lot of bands. My senior year I did Marching, Concert, Jazz, Symphony, and a community band as well as taking sax lessons every week (funny because I only did sax in marching band, but they were great lessons).
And that’s a nice mix of music. haha nothing wrong with beign a walking contradiction.

Well, yes. I blindly walked past, but you could only muster an identification. I promptly shouted “Bring back the ’Stache!” as soon as I was aware it was him. Yes, he heard me. At which point, it was I who decided we were going to turn around, take pictures, and wait for him to get off the air. At which point I spoke to him again.
And yes, during the entire time you stood there, silent, like a 12-year old girl who just saw Justin Bieber order a Pepsi.

Off topic, but I always see Wanda Sykes all the time, and it’s always awkward, particularly in line at the grocery store. She wants so little to do with being bothered that if you even look at her, she will immediately look down and pull out her Blackberry. Though I guess living in a small town is tough for any celebrity.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Just shake a drink at her and smile from across the room.

Well, they don’t exactly want people fawning over them in the grocery store asking for their autograph. They’re all different, some don’t care if you toss out a brief comment, or give them a compliment about something that happened recently, and some want to be left alone. But that’s across the board, because we get Phillies, Flyers, and sometimes even Eagles in our grocery stores. If you ran into Roenick back in the day at what used to be a Super G and you threw out a “Hey, nice goal last night” as you went by, he’d grin make a remark in response. Other guys would not be happy, even if you didn’t try to stop them and talk to them. Bobby Abreu used to joke around with the regular employees at the same store. It’s a mix, but they’re normal people too, so some like attention more than others.
It’s harder trying to restrain yourself from talking to them, though, when you’re are the next table over at the pub or the pizza places they hang out in.
by DragonGirl0583 on Aug 12, 2010 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I frequently she her walking the main street and in one restaurant/bar in particular. People who don’t live in the town always make a big deal, and I can see it getting annoying (for instance the group of kids who followed her in to the pharmacy, or the 50 people that stop her when she has her kids in a stroller). The people that live in the town are either her friend or know her preference to be left alone.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Yeah, pretty much the same thing as around here. The people who go to those places are much more blasé about it. One person looks at their companion and goes “Oh hey look, Hartnell and Cote are at the table in the corner”, and the conversation moves on. No approaching and harassing the players or anything.
by DragonGirl0583 on Aug 12, 2010 12:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I’d imagine it’s a lot easier for regulars too. If I walked in there, I’d probably be like “Oh shit, there’s Hartnell and Cote.” Talk about it for awhile, debate what to do, etc. But if that’s the 5th time that month I ran into them (like I’m sure you do), I’d just be like, “Wonder what they got today.”
Works both ways, I’m sure.

Used to be in the Svc Dept of a rather well-known Philly Car Dealer (whose name I will omit for various reasons), We would get the occasional Philly, Flyer or Phantom (when they were in Philly) come through, but we got a TON of Eagles players. Over my 2 years there I found that if you don’t make a fuss and just treat them like a regular customer (ok maybe a little better then a regular customer) they were very cool. Hugh Douglas was very cool, he would hang at the write up desk and talk football while his car was in, other guys the like Asante Samuel would go to the owners office and hang there while they waited.
They are all different. Main thing is, they may be in the limelight, but they do have families and are entitled to some modicum of privacy. So don’t bother them if they are in a restaurant with their wife and children, don’t ask for an autograph at the urinal…Its best to try and put yourself in their shoes and honestly think, would you want to be bothered in that situation? If the answer is no, LEAVE THEM ALONE!

I have a couple of ways I handle encounters with athletes/musicians:
1- Just say thanks
2- Pick the most obscure thing about them and put it out there (goal is a smile or a nod of acknowledgment)
3- Purposely confuse them with someone of their era etc (best example was seeing Elway outside his house (I know his neighbors in Denver) and asking "how ya doing Mr. Marino).
"Call me dumb, call me stupid, whatever. I block shots."
Once before a Barenaked Ladies concert, the band was out mingling with the audience in the lobby and I got into a good conversation with them about hockey. :-p

That is too weird, this one time I before a hockey game, the players were outside and we got into a good conversation about Barenaked Ladies…

My guess is something along the lines of not trying to corroborate a source. You should try to find at least two independent sources to confirm a fact. From the sounds of the article posting that the source even tried to speak to the author, which is something the author should have done. A quick phone call to check the source would have been nice and probably should have been done. Just dismissing something like that isn’t good journalism …
OR I’m totally off on what BroadStreetBully is talking about …
Having a bad source doesn’t make you a bad journalist and it certainly doesn’t make you a douchebag. Can women even be douchebags? I feel like that’s offensive.

Considering they are the ones who actually use them, it’s probably more apt.
Douche just literally means shower, though, so it’s not really all that insulting to me. That four-letter one is the one I don’t like.

I can see that. However, to me, it seems like calling a woman that implies some sort of uncleanliness. Whereas calling a guy a douchebag just means he’s…well a douchebag. I guess that doesn’t make any sense.
I also agree about the four letter one…regardless of which one you mean.

I’m going to vehemently disagree. She called the Hockey Hall of Fame and they told her the trophy wasn’t engraved yet. The Hockey Hall of Fame messed up twice.
Did she have a bad source? Yeah. But she’s the only one who actually called the HHOF

Pretty much what I was going to say – bad information from a source doesn’t mean the journalist is bad. Wysh’s post even explains what may have happened – the source got confused on which PoW trophy (the secondary one in the HoF or the traveler) was being discussed; one had been engraved, the other hadn’t.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
I will forever fear the wrath of Baicker.
Though I’m disappointed, she sent me her Shelley theory, and I didn’t disagree with it but posed some stuff to her back with some advanced stats (basically why Shelley and Lappy aren’t good comparisons), and I got nothing in return. However, I’m sure she’s actually busy working at her job, while I’m here slacking and posting on this site.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Or your argument made sense and she was cutting her loses instead of having you one up her in private.
It wasn’t an argument, just a discussion and very polite. I was just a little disappointed not to even get an ‘interesting’, or an ‘agree to disagree’.
Is this the right room for an argument?
I use “argument” very loosely … she was more than willing to come here and comment on a negative comment, but when you threw the facts of your argument out there she disappears …
… I mean hey I take crap about not thinking Cindy is awesome (and prolly rightfully so) but you don’t see me blowing someone off when they throw the argument back.
Hahaha true, but I have to respect the fact that she probably has better things to do than to have that discussion with me. I don’t want to bad mouth her for it, just stating my disappointment in it.
I’m doing my best to be more polite hahaha.
Is this the right room for an argument?
Look at all the interesting / important stuff the other hockey writers around here are doing. She should have plenty of time to deal with DLJr.
Yeah, the comparison is way off, but maybe she meant off-ice. Either way, it’s not like Shelley is a defensive sieve.

Sounds to me like just a shitty job by the HOF to spin a mistake instead of just saying “crap yeah we muffed that one” Yeah she did what she should have and called the HoF. From the sounds of it though it seems like the guy who took the picture wanted to give his side of the story which she also should have looked into.
Let’s go over the facts.
So, we had to wonder: Are these photos truly an engraving error, or just a great example of Photoshop tomfoolery?
To get the answer, we went straight to the source
Wait… what? The source was Millhouser. Instead of tracking him down and e-mailing/calling, she looked at the business card hanging in her office and called the HHOF instead. She’s not getting points for being lazy.
And as it turns out, just like we thought, they’re fake."
Always great when a journalist goes into a story with predisposition. Another mark against.
The spokesman said both trophies will be engraved later this summer, but a date hasn’t yet been determined.
The HHOF came out and said they made a mistake. They said
“The person that was speaking with the media thought they meant the trophy at the Hall of Fame at that day,” said Masse. “When the Prince of Wales Trophy is traveling, there’s a secondary trophy here for the fans to see at the Hall. That one has not been engraved yet. The one that was in Chicago was engraved.”
So they realized they made a mistake, and said as much. Their mistake was confusing one trophy for the other. That’s fine. Baicker suggests that the spokesman said both trophies weren’t engraved. Going with her run of bad journalism, I’m going to go ahead and assume she made that part up too.
Piss poor journalism.
by BroadStreetBully on Aug 12, 2010 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
So you know exactly what the HHoF spokesman said and know that it’s wrong of Baicker to suggest they said both. Even if they did tell her that?
I also find it funny that in your post chastising predisposition you say:
I’m going to go ahead and assume she made that part up too.
Very amusing. Once again, writing one bad article or getting a bad quote from someone does not make someone a douchebag.

Big difference : I’m not a journalist.
And I never said I knew what the spokesman said. I said that given her article’s lack of fact checking and bias, I’d assume she made the rest of it up as well.
Please try and do a better job of reading the post next time before criticizing it blindly.

I know you aren’t a journalist, and I’m not holding you to any standard. I just said it was amusing.
Baicker suggests that the spokesman said both trophies weren’t engraved.
If that’s what he told her, then her “suggesting” it isn’t a mistake and to assume it’s wrong puts the onus on the spokesman and not on the journalist.

The “both trophies” in her article refers to the Prince of Wales and the Stanley Cup, not the Prince of Wales and the Secret Alternate Prince of Wales. At the time she (and most of us?) didn’t realize there was a secondary trophy for the HOF when the real thing goes traveling. Should she have talked to the guy who took the pictures? Yeah, probably, but not doing so doesn’t immediately make her a hack. She did more investigating on the subject than any other beat writer out there.
Hopefully Jodey Shelley can beat up the next person who lies or misinforms Sarah Baicker. From reporting on Flyers arbitration, to the Flyers Trophies, everyone goes pinocchio on her.
Personally the newest excuse from the HOF spokesman is some of the best BS I have herd in a while.
I read comments when this 1st occurred about how people who at the HOF in Toronto and could not see any of the trophies because they went to the Hawks Convention.
However, if it is true……..Did Richards chose to pick up wrong trophy your not supposed to touch?
Interesting hypothesis Holmes, so you think Moriarty may have placed the back-up trophy in place of the actual trophy. Thus setting off an entirely different chain of events when Mr. Richards lifted the trophy. Brilliant Homes, but how do we prove it?

Oh, no, I was getting to the point that most players refuse to touch it. (And the handlers wear gloves.) :-p
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
Plus not to mention identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. They will give the same DNA profile though. (I’m finishing up a Master’s in Forensic Science so I should know these things).
Your joke was funny, nobody wants to touch the trophy. But yeah, the fact that they have their gloves on when they touch it (at least on the ice, I don’t know when they got to the locker room) may make it hard for fingerprints. Plus we do have to worry about contamination from Sidney Crosby lol

What is the most common genetic marker used for DNA profiling?
Backing Backlund for 2010-2011
Mourning Gagne forever.
My thesis is on DNA so I know quite a lot about it.
All human DNA is filled with things called “Short Tandem Repeats” (STR’s) which are short DNA sequences in areas of your DNA that aren’t used for your normal coding (i.e. genes that make up your eye color, height, hair color, etc.). Forensic labs measure the length of these repeats on 15 different chromosomes. They pick ones that are widely spread to give a lot of variation which makes individualizing the profile to a single individual easier.
When the DNA is analyzed the length of these STR’s are shown as peaks (kind of like a graph) and a number is assigned to that peak. From that they just do statistics using all the numbers comparing to all possible profile results are possible and determine that this DNA profile is as unique as 1 in 1 trillion. If you get a perfect result you can get it that unique, in other words you will need about 150 times the total population of Earth to possibly find the same combination, which is why DNA is a “Gold Standard”.
Interesting thing is that from a Forensic DNA profile, the only thing you can determine about somebody by looking at is if they are Male or Female. You can’t tell skin color, eye color, height, or any other identifying characteristics.
I hope that helped and wasn’t confusing. I’ll clarify whatever is fuzzy.

Haha, I was just curious to know what marker was used. When I learnt about forensics they were talking about using RFLP and AFLP, but I was wondering if they had adopted something better.
My thesis is using microsatellites to determine genetic structure in endangered plant populations, which is basically forensics.
Backing Backlund for 2010-2011

Ahh sorry I didn’t know you were a scientist so I tried to generalize what I posted. I wasn’t sure what audience I needed to cater to, so sorry for insulting your intelligence.
I’ll be more specific then, I believe the lab I intern at uses the RFLP marker (I actually don’t know about the AFLP one, my major is specifically Forensic Science so they teach us a lot of everything in science and how it’s applied. A lot of theory stuff especially now with my writing I have had to read to understand). All of the primers we use are primate specific, both for quanting the DNA as well as doing the PCR to get the profile.
Glad to have a fellow scientist on here, then we can say crazy stuff to confuse everybody. And you’re doing DNA, awesome!!! And it is basically what we do in forensics, so it’s fun.

Anything accounting is evil. Especially since I did my bachelor’s pre-Sarbanes-Oxley and my master’s post-SO, so I had to go back and do tax accounting again. I somehow got an A in financial accounting, but it was by sheer memorization of what to do, not actually understanding the underlying principles.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
Accounting can be evil. Some things I’m like “duh” and others I just get confused and don’t understand it. I was fine with doing sales and calculating stuff, but when it came to Balance Sheets I just got lost. Maybe because I was using Quickbooks and I never was taught the software.
And I have no clue what Sarbanes-Oxley even means lol.

Translation for hockey fans
“I took an accounting course…I’ve never heard of Sarbanes-Oxley”
In hockey-speak,
“I’ve a big hockey fan….Bobby Orr, who’s that?”
(S-O changes acctg like #4 changed D).
But Lindbergh, this isn’t on you, this is on your prof.
Raul Ibanez: since Moyer is on the DL, he is fast becoming our favorite old guy.
Rooting against a certain LW for the Tampa Bay Lightning will be impossible.
Well my only accounting class I ever took was Principles of Accounting in high school, never took any in college so I think that Sarbanes-Oxley wasn’t important in high school.
I looked it up and to me it makes sense what The Dark said about pre Sarbanes-Oxley, since I read about it and it is a huge reform with larger corporations and their regulations, so it looks like a great thing, just something I never studied in High School and was never mentioned at the bookkeeping job I did (for a small business so maybe that’s why)
And who is Bobby Orr? Never heard of him.

Haha, yeah we need to have that online in case we have a band of damn dirty apes committing crimes in NYC.
But seriously, I really don’t know why they are primate specific primers. I guess they are easier or cheaper to make than just a human specific one, and the chances of finding a primate at a crime scene are so low that it won’t matter.
But again the primate specific primers I was talking are for the DNA quantitation only. We use a real time PCR system to quant (what do you use). The primers for the amping are human specific (I think, not sure, but again what I said about finding gorillas or chimps at a crime scene are so low).

It really seems weird that human specific aren’t used. Typcially we would start with a less specific primer to amplify a sequence we don’t know much about and then increase specificity from there.
For quantifying DNA we just use spectrophotometry, but for genotyping microsat length we use fluroescence and capillary sequencing, like normal Sanger sequencing.
Backing Backlund for 2010-2011
Mourning Gagne forever.
Yeah I see what you mean about the primer.
At the lab I intern at they use mass produced kits by Applied Biosystems or Qiagen. The procedures we follow are in a manual that was formulated by many people over the years and the methods validated and such and the lab is accredited and all that jazz, so I don’t know why it’s a primate specific. I used to think it was human specific until somebody informed me otherwise. I should ask somebody in the training group why it’s primate specific.
And for genotyping stuff we do the PCR and that attaches fluorescent tags to the DNA and we use Capillary Electrophoresis to determine it (we probably do a similar thing).
I’ll let you know if I find out why it’s a primate specific and not human specific.
