Fatty Liver

Okay, I worked Advance this year. Friday busy but also first day so lots of mistakes were made by everyone. We're talking people who have not done this in 4 years and the training is sub-par. Saturday-Sunday much better. Pretty empty after 4 each day. Monday, busier then Friday but with 4 days experience the wait was shorter. Elections Canada did not dictate how many advance polling stations there are at each place, the gov't does. Or so I was told. What can be done to shorten wait times? Eliminate the need for the poll clerk to write down the voters name, address and get their signature. Increase the # of poll stations. Increase the length of advanced voting days. Online voting. This was the 4 and final day. Who walked away today? The person who did not show up the previous 3 days. The person who did not go to the Return Office to vote. The person who also could have voted by mail. Oh yeah, that person. The one who can still vote on Election day. Are you serious??? Sounds like a method they might have used in 1915 before they invented brains. Sure hope this isn't part of the plan on election day because I'd bet bread a lot of Harper's hand picked poll clerks are on the bleak side of 80.

This turn out is good news for the Cons. if those advanced polls were located in retirement homes but basically bad news if they weren't.

Out of those 11 remaining games it would be a minor miracle if BC, Mtl. and Wpg. generate more then two wins between the three of them. My guess is Wpg. wins one against the RB's to secure the last playoff spot, Mtl. beats Sask. and BC gets shut out.

How far down the Als. QB ladder do you have to climb to find Brandon Bridges?

More like the 18 game IR. Frustrating thing is next year will be like starting over with him. It's going to be many years if ever before he is a better option than JFG.

No malice, good sack by a UofM boy.

Cato out, Als chances further diminished.

Right...so far I would rank Addison Richards below Etienne in terms of a wasted pick. Must be one hell of an upper body injury. Does Richards even practice with the team?

I know but you need backups. If Bastien gets injured, no Canadian WR to step in. It's doable but leaves us very thin.I don't see why we can't sign a Kito Poblah or Jade Etienne to stand on the side lines and look pretty in case of an injury. I thought it was reported (albeit here, so take that for what it's worth) that jade was done with football... I'd be interested in seeing what Poblah would do as a jersey filler... too bad that rifles kid didn't work out... Forgot about him, wonder if that Reaves kid is still around. Still can't understand why the Bombers didn't make room for him on the PR.

Evil Muamba is dressed for this game, I've got my voodoo doll out and plenty of pins for stickin'.

So how do they get Wild on the field for every snap?

I think it would be wise to finish the season with both of them on the roster and let Lirim's contract negotiations determine how the Bombers approach next season.

Good work by the D with 7 sacks in total. The D line contributed 4 so they're getting results from more then just Westerman and I thought Turner had his best game of the season so far.

Copyright is a huge issue that should not be overlooked, the original laws did a good job of protecting the creator during his life-time and balancing the public use and advancement of the creation. These alterations are designed by lawyers and accountants and are geared to locking in the earning potential of creative works for a much longer term. Here is a good synopsis. "The entire purpose of copyright law in the US was supposed to be about enabling greater dissemination of learning and knowledge, and that's by increasing the public domain. Yet, instead, because of regulatory capture, and the ability of gatekeepers to hijack the process, we've created a copyright law that does exactly the opposite. It restricts the dissemination of knowledge, decreases cultural sharing and availability, and generally harms creators and their ability to build on culturally relevant works. What defenders of restrictive copyrights often fail to recognize is that the public domain is what made culture culture. Culture is a shared concept, in which lots of people are all experiencing the same or similar things -- and making it their own as a part of that. We used to share stories, retell jokes, build on and change the works of others, and it was that shared effort that built culture and helped it spread. But copyright law has changed all that. Rather than a true cultural phenomenon, where culture is built up by the public in terms of what they create, share and build upon, we now have a situation where the gatekeepers decide what culture is, push it on everyone via broadcast means, and then tell us not to do anything about it... unless we pay exorbitant sums. That's a perverse understanding of how culture happens, and one that does not benefit creators or the public (often one and the same), but is hugely beneficial for a few gatekeepers. For a robust creative community and culture, it is important to bring back a healthy respect for the public domain."

Considering where Castillo comes from he should have no problem kicking in wind.

Start with handing Neufeld a plane ticket to Saskatoon. We can get a late round pick for him but yup, start with the oline and then receivers, Marcel may be a bad coordinator but your top players can't be missing assignments and dropping balls in big games. Was really disappointed with both Nichols and Moore's performances last night, as leaders on the O. these guys need to be able to step up for big games and make **** happen. Hard to do much when you're always 2nd and long. A lot of that rests on Marcel's inability to get the run game going. This is true but in the previous two games against better D's than BC's the O eventually found a groove. Last night they struggled to get anything going and looked bad for the duration.

Who?

I thought everyone went back to Our Bombers and abandoned the ship.

Stoudermire, he's O'Shea's wild card.

Just wondering, do these polls reach people through social media or are they conducted as in the past, strictly by phone? • Ballot tracking reflects only the first choice given by decided voters • A national dual-frame (land+cell) random telephone survey is conducted nightly by Nanos Research throughout the campaign using live agents. Each evening a new group of 400 eligible voters are interviewed. The daily tracking figures are based on a three-day rolling sample comprised of 1,200 interviews. To update the tracking a new day of interviewing is added and the oldest day dropped. The margin of error for a survey of 1,077 decided voters is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. • The margin of error for weekly surveys before Sept. 4 is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20 This is way off topic, but if there are any statisticians out there, can you tell me why they phrase things like this. Is the margin of error +/- 3 or not .... if this happens to be the 20th time, what is the margin of error? Or is it completely unknown? 19/20 is 95% so why not just build that other 5% of uncertainty into the +/- 3. It all seems a little hodge-podge. It helps to cover their asses when they get it wrong.

The mere fact he is teetering on being benching at the moment likely suggests that he isn't going to have a lot of teams chasing after his services. Look at the crap we went through with Milo. I think he has proven he can get the job done, but he has also proven that he can't. His next contract should reflect that. A fair deal that reflects bonuses for field goal percentages etc.. to provide him a opportunity for a raise if he plays well and protects the bombers for overpaying if he sucks again next year. If the Bombers want to play hardball with Lirim they better find themselves an Import Swayze Waters kick-a-like just in case he decides to bolt. Going back to trying out a string of leftover leftovers won't make them a better team.

Honestly, I think trying to portray Mulcair as warm and fuzzy was a mistake by the NDP strategists. I much prefer the straight-shooter that we saw in QP these past few years. He's at his best when he's talking down to Harper and he only exposed that side briefly during the second debate. Nothing against him personally but when Mulcair smiles it kind of gives me the creeps.
