That would depend on how those picks turn out. No certainly in prospects.

If there's no certainty in prospects, which I agree with, don't you think that a team that acquires a lot of lottery tickets in a short amount of time constitutes a good rebuild?

Depending on what they do with them. Do they end up replacing the player they traded away with an equal or someone better or is it someone worse.

In Toronto the same stuff was called "Alchool" iirc. We called that drink Purple Jesus as well. It was pretty lethal for under age drinkers.

No, I count on you for accurate, up to date info and data.

No surprise there was coke involved in the crash of Kassian's truck. The girl driving admitted to being under the influence of booze and *blow*.

Kassians wants people to believe it was a drinking problem and not drugs but a big part of the drinking problem was when he got drunk, he wanted blow and didnt know when to go home to bed. His friends or team mates would go home and he'd slum it around with the coke heads from the club. Hockey players who do coke usually are sneaky in public but I heard people tell me he'd snort back an offered rail right in front of strangers in the bathroom when he was drunk. If he didnt have murder's eyes, people would have probably snapped pics to tweet.

You want a recipe?

I do. I don't get to cook as much as I'd like to, but i'd love a solid recipe.

Today I made tortilla chips with a peach salsa, lamb loin chops with a standard garlic rosemary lemon rub, rib steaks with a spicy coffee rub and a spinach salad with blackberries, goat cheese, maple candied pecans and a passion fruit dressing. Everything was made from scratch.

If you're serious, I can definitely send you some solid recipes. "Western" chinese food or authentic stuff?

Authentic please.

Disclaimer: I live in the maritimes and asian vegetables can be hard to come by. I can't even tell you the last time I saw Gai Lan was. When I lived east van I could pop into chinatown at any time and find any ingredient, not anymore. I have a hard time finding decent chow mein noodles.

Authentic please.

Chow mein and 8balls!

Good thing i'm popping over for a visit next month.

Vancouver rocks man. Great access to food and if you use fresh base ingredients it's actually pretty cheap. So many flavours are available.

Also, the lower mainland and parts of the island have the longest growing seasons in Canada. California vegetables travelling less than half the distance......

The organization itself is declining to comment, but there is word tonight that Seattle’s NHL expansion team is closing in on naming Ron Francis as its first GM. We’ll see how events unfold the next few days; things have been percolating the last few weeks.

Moby Richard
Chapter 12

Queequeg was a native of Rokovoko, an island far away to the West and South. It is not down on any map; true places never are.

When a new-hatched savage running wild about his native woodlands in a grass clout, followed by the nibbling goats, as if he were a green sapling; even then, in Queequeg's ambitious soul, lurked a strong desire to see something more of Christendom than a specimen whaler or two. His father was a High Chief, a King; his uncle a High Priest; and on the maternal side he boasted aunts who were the wives of unconquerable warriors. There was excellent blood in his veins- royal stuff; though sadly vitiated, I fear, by the cannibal propensity he nourished in his untutored youth.

A Sag Harbor ship visited his father's bay, and Queequeg sought a passage to Christian lands. But the ship, having her full complement of seamen, spurned his suit; and not all the King his father's influence could prevail. But Queequeg vowed a vow. Alone in his canoe, he paddled off to a distant strait, which he knew the ship must pass through when she quitted the island. On one side was a coral reef; on the other a low tongue of land, covered with mangrove thickets that grew out into the water. Hiding his canoe, still afloat, among these thickets, with its prow seaward, he sat down in the stern, paddle low in hand; and when the ship was gliding by, like a flash he darted out; gained her side; with one backward dash of his foot capsized and sank his canoe; climbed up the chains; and throwing himself at full length upon the deck, grappled a ring-bolt there, and swore not to let it go, though hacked in pieces.

In vain the captain threatened to throw him overboard; suspended a cutlass over his naked wrists; Queequeg was the son of a King, and Queequeg budged not. Struck by his desperate dauntlessness, and his wild desire to visit Christendom, the captain at last relented, and told him he might make himself at home. But this fine young savage- this sea Prince of Wales, never saw the Captain's cabin. They put him down among the sailors, and made a whaleman of him. But like Czar Peter content to toil in the shipyards of foreign cities, Queequeg disdained no seeming ignominy, if thereby he might happily gain the power of enlightening his untutored countrymen. For at bottom- so he told me- he was actuated by a profound desire to learn among the Christians, the arts whereby to make his people still happier than they were; and more than that, still better than they were. But, alas! the practices of whalemen soon convinced him that even Christians could be both miserable and wicked; infinitely more so, than all his father's heathens. Arrived at last in old Sag Harbor; and seeing what the sailors did there; and then going on to Nantucket, and seeing how they spent their wages in that place also, poor Queequeg gave it up for lost. Thought he, it's a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan.

And thus an old idolator at heart, he yet lived among these Christians, wore their clothes, and tried to talk their gibberish. Hence the queer ways about him, though now some time from home.

By hints I asked him whether he did not propose going back, and having a coronation; since he might now consider his father dead and gone, he being very old and feeble at the last accounts. He answered no, not yet; and added that he was fearful Christianity, or rather Christians, had unfitted him for ascending the pure and undefiled throne of thirty pagan Kings before him. But by and by, he said, he would return,- as soon as he felt himself baptized again. For the nonce, however, he proposed to sail about, and sow his wild oats in all four oceans. They had made a harpooneer of him, and that barbed iron was in lieu of a sceptre now.

I asked him what might be his immediate purpose, touching his future movements. He answered, to go to sea again, in his old vocation. Upon this, I told him that whaling was my own design, and informed him of my intention to sail out of Nantucket, as being the most promising port for an adventurous whaleman to embark from. He at once resolved to accompany me to that island, ship aboard the same vessel, get into the same watch, the same boat, the same mess with me, in short to share my every hap; with both my hands in his, boldly dip into the Potluck of both worlds. To all this I joyously assented; for besides the affection I now felt for Queequeg, he was an experienced harpooneer, and as such, could not fail to be of great usefulness to one, who, like me, was wholly ignorant of the mysteries of whaling, though well acquainted with the sea, as known to merchant seamen.

His story being ended with his pipe's last dying puff, Queequeg embraced me, pressed his forehead against mine, and blowing out the light, we rolled over from each other, this way and that, and very soon were sleeping.
