I'll say one thing about Daily Plate - it's making me pay attention to what I'm actually eating throughout the day. Just grabbed a cookie or two? Mark 'em down. How much water have I been drinking? Remember that cup of coffee DOES have calories! And so on. I can still snack, but I need to be cognizant of what I'm snacking on and the serving size. And I think that's where the website's helped me. Eventually that may become natural for me. I'm definitely eating less than I have though, but still being able to eat good food (we made some baked ziti the other night and I've been able to balance that with what I've eaten throughout the day, plus exercise). Tonight, we're making chicken parmesan with mostacciolli and I've calculated how that will work for me in terms of what I've eaten for breakfast and what I'm going to eat for lunch. It all fits within my approx. 1,700 cal/day. I know what you mean about the whole screwed up metabolism, though. I used to be able to lose weight by essentially starving myself, but not anymore. I've lost about 4 lbs in the past week, so I must be doing something right so far.

Hmm. Can you provide actual media proof of this? Everything I remember reading gave an implication that Hossa would like to sign with a "great team like Pittsburgh" (emphasis mine), but no solid statement saying that Pittsburgh was his number one choice. However, that doesn't mean I read everything on the whole situation, so I could very well be wrong.

Never heard that one before. And I remember mixes of the song years ago on WRIF with Wings play-by-play clips edited into it. Someone's mistaken.

Rock, thank you!

Exactly. Vancouver's not exactly on the way up. There has to be at least one or two other teams with the cap space AND the talent to make a playoff run.

Not so fast, guys... http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=243662&lid...os=topStory_nhl

Deh obstruction? Deh diving?

Just retire already... http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=243398&lid...os=secStory_nhl

I dig that first one. Really has the feel of the original song without actually being the original. The second one lost me once I heard the sax.

Personally, I'd like to see CBC grab something from The Zambonis. "Fight On The Ice" would be good. Hell, "Hockey Week" would be perfect if it was rewritten into "Hockey Night".

Hmm, Google doesn't seem to be accepting my CSV file (comes up with a 'Google Calendar not available' error, which isn't right). Opened the txt file in Excel, converted and saved it to a CSV (MS-DOS) and also tried CSV (comma delimited). Any other method that may be more compatible for GCal?

Sorry for not paying attention to every single detail of every single article about the schedule. I remember one article that theorized home and away games with every Eastern Conference team and that was all I had really read on the new schedule (aside from a few times when Bettman was on XM, where he also brought up the possibility of 15 home and away cross-conference games for each team). Whatever, just means I won't have to pay an arm and a leg to see the Wings this season.

Bettman can go @#$% himself. Last game I got to see between the Devils and Wings out here was in December 2006 (first time they had won in Jersey since '93). Previous game? December 2001. God damn it. I seriously thought they were going to go with 2 games against every EC team this year and was all pumped for it. Oh well...at least the wife won't be able to get at me for spending cash we don't have on hockey tickets.

That DailyPlate link looks immensely helpful. Just signed up there and entered my foods for yesterday and today thus far. Yesterday, I went over by about 500 cal, might be a tad more depending on how it compiles dinners out (for example, would Olive Garden's chicken parm listing on there include the pasta that ordinarily comes with the dish?). Today, I'm still about 1,500 cal in the black, but that's because I don't usually eat a damn thing during the day. I know, I know, that's bad...I'm just not usually hungry during the day at all. My current routine is usually this (and, admittedly, hasn't been this structured for THAT long): - Wake up and do 5-10 minutes of WiiFit aerobics - Have a small bowl of cereal (various) with 1% milk - One travel mug of coffee with fat free half and half and two tsp sugar and at least one 20 oz. bottle of water at work - Varying degrees of physical activity at work (walking between buildings on campus, moving equipment, desk work) - Another 5-10 minutes of WiiFit, varies between yoga, aerobics and strength training (occasional and not as often as I'd like, admittedly) - Dinner - Sleep (at least three hours after my final meal intake) I sleep about 6.5 - 7 hours each night, which seems to be my perfect amount (read a study where the whole 8 hours thing isn't necessarily one-size-fits-all). During the regular semester (Fall/Spring), the Nathan's on campus is open and while I rarely eat there, I take advantage of the freebies I get there by drinking lots of Aquafina and perhaps another serving or two of coffee throughout the day. On an average day, I drink at least four 20oz bottles of Aquafina when I can get it. Right now, my weight seems to hover between 220 - 230lbs and I can't quite get below 220 just yet. My goal is to simply get WiiFit to stop taunting me with "That's obese!".

Crosby?

Greaaaaaaaat...the @#$%ing KINGS get the home and home against the Devils. @#$%ing Bettman.

All this time, that's what I thought they were doing - at least two games against every team in the league. At least, that's what they had been proposing.

Er...shoot...I thought we were facing each Eastern conference team twice (home and away). Wings might NOT be coming out to Jersey then? Dammit.

Leave it to some white guy from Moose Jaw to play the race card on Emery's behalf. Classic white guilt, anyone? Seriously, Emery already admitted that his problems were caused by himself and no one else. This is almost as silly as that politician in Dallas who thinks that "black hole", "devil's food cake" and "angel food cake" are racist. Problems aren't always about the color of one's skin. *sigh*

Egads, does he look young!

It's about damn time! I had a feeling they'd do it eventually, once I saw that they added XM Home Plate to the online lineup.

Exactly what I was thinking. This firing has all the signs of Wang and not Snow (aside from Snow being another puppet to the Wang machine).

Just make sure your tattoo artist is an ARTIST. Anyone can be taught to use a tattoo machine, but you want your guy (or girl) to have an artist's eye. If you've seen any of mine, you'll know what I mean.

You're all a bunch of smartarses. Show was great, Joel was absolutely hilarious. Came out and yelled, "I'm the one who's @#$%ing Alex Rodriguez!" and then started searching for his teleprompter.
