Which active players do u think will have their jerseys in the rafters after they retire? This might be tricky bc of course they could get traded at any moment but I wanna hear ur thoughts!

mwah oh this is such a good q... for me the answer to this is distinct from like, active hall of famers being that in order to get your number retired you have to be relevant to a specific team... like u can be one without the other. anywho here's my attempt

boston bruins: patrice (37) hasn't had his retired yet but he will, even though he's not active anymore. pasta (88) also a lock, marchand (63) a significant probability

buffalo sabres: n/a

detroit red wings: larkin (71) is still pretty young but he's the only one id consider right now

florida panthers: barkov (16) for sure, tkachuk (19) very probably, bobrovsky (72) slim but nonzero chance

montreal canadiens: carey price (31), in the same vein as patrice

ottawa senators: n/a

tampa bay lightning: kuch (86), vasi (88), stamkos (91), and heddy (77). god the bolts dynasty years were really fuckin something eh

toronto maple leafs: auston (34) is a lock, willy (88) almost certainly a lock, mitch (16) will be a lock if he stays after this contract, morgan (44) is a solid 50-50

carolina hurricanes: n/a

columbus blue jackets: timely ask because it NEEDS to be matiss kivlenieks (80) and im lowkey shocked they haven't done that yet

new jersey devils: n/a

new york islanders: n/a

new york rangers: very very slim chance of kreider (20) but idk

philadelphia flyers: maybe giroux (28)?

pittsburgh penguins: lol and lmao obviously sid (87) geno (71) and kris (58)

washington capitals: ovi (8) and nicke (19)

coyotes/utah: n/a

chicago blackhawks: kane (88) and toews (19) 100%. idk do keith and seabrook already have their numbers retired bc if not then maybe one of them too

colorado avalanche: natemac (29). makar (8) probably too idk

dallas stars: n/a

nashville predators: maybe josi (59)?.maybe.

minnesota wild: n/a

st louis blues: n/a

winnipeg jets: n/a

anaheim ducks: n/a

calgary flames: n/a

seattle kraken: n/a

san jose sharks: maybe pavs (16)

vancouver canucks: solid chance of quinnifer (43)

vegas golden knights: n/a

Next up for Nickelodeon era of shows, who is your favorite character from each of the late 2000s to 2010 Nicktoons shows (notably the longevity of Nicktoons around this time began getting less with only a handful from this point onward getting more than 2 seasons, Nickelodeon getting more reliant on SpongeBob around this time, and Nicktoons often getting moved to the Nicktoons channel for burning off episodes if didn't match SpongeBob's ratings instantly became a frequent occurrence at this point) you've seen like: El Tigre The Adventures of Manny Rivera, Tak and the Power of Juju, Back at the Barnyard, The Mighty B, The Penguins of Madagascar 2008, Fanboy & Chum Chum, Planet Sheen, and TUFF Puppy?

Now that i knew but nick being shitty to their cartoons was a constnat. Something they ALWAYS did this is just where, with nicktoons in place, they started being way faster about it. Had to put up less pretense.

El Tigre: The boy himself. He has an intresting dynamic of not being a villian or a hero (more anti hero), that really could use more exploration in a possible revivial or fanfiction (Wink wink), as the show generally lead to the good side and din't have manny do crimes too often. But he's still charming, funny and likeable kid with an intresting power set. As for the show it's pretty good, a bit broad for it's concept, but it works, with nice over the top comedy and gorgeous animation. Jorge Guteirez always brings it and I need to watch his other show and his film at some point.

Tak: Hal sparks kid only because he's hal sparks. I have an attachment ot the guy since I watched him on I love the 80s , which I also need to rewatch. Tak.. not so much. I hear the games are geninely solid 3d colllectithons and nick could do to rerelease them or have updated versions ala rehydrated, but the show takes a possible epic fantasy show with some goofy humor.. and turns it into "Kid with a lot of power fucks up a lot"

I've watched cartoons up to present day and while I fell off nick due to lack of cable and previously being awful at putting stuff on streaming (they've gotten better), so you have to wait some time and they can spread a season over years in some cases (*cough* loud house *Cough), I did watch for a long time.. and I was just.. not intrested in this at all. I'd seen it so many times. Just above el tigre does it better, as the villian or hero choice lets Manny get away with more shit than say Otto Rocket. And thus it dosen't work here: everyone's either vaugely filled otu or a dick, the mythology isn't really well built, and any hope of another action show is gone... I don't mind comedy in my action, the golden trinity of superhero shows i've covered here and the previous CN list should make that very clear... but I mind wasting another good fantasy show on this shit, especially at a time when the bar was sky high.

Back at the Barnyard: This one I remembered as being.. eh. Pretty weak first season I noped out of the show after.. but any time I caught a later episode... I saw a changea nd wish i'd gone back. Just from out of context vids i've found while season 1 had it's gems that are featured it fucking lost it as it went, including a full on war with weird al (Who did a LOT of voice acting back then and should keep doing it, he was great as milo murphy). So a show I didn't think much of but seemed to get a lot better once it stopped being a bland imitation of am ovie few people saw but is apparently good and started just embracing i'ts looney tunes esque madness.

The Mighty B: Don't really have one. This one was eh. I know some hate it, I thought it was okay and like many of these shows it got better but no one got to see that because nicktoons. It was nice to see amy pohler in a cartoon, hope she does it again, but overall like Tak , and a lot of the weaker shows from here on out, it comes out as a weak copy of stuff the network had done better: grossout, hero whose goofy but isn't like by most people but a select few.. there just isn't anything to what I saw of mighty b that makes me WANT to go back versus barnyard, which geninely improved and simply shed it's more standard trappings for something far more fun.

The Penguins of Madagascar: A spinoff.. honestly better than the movies. At least the ones i've seen and I really LIKED 2 when I saw it one time in a theater, so it's a compliment. (I hear 3 is really good). Like most film based spinoffs Nick has done, it takes a second to get going but was a lot of fun in highlight. I can see why kiean carlyle (Fan animator and youtuber whose covered both suite life shows (with the new video finishing the saga having just come out), wizards of waverly place, mighty med, labrats and mighty med and labrats) did a retrospective on it and need to watch that. The show isn't one of my all time favoirites, but it works really well and honestly WAY more than it should. A spinoff that just has "the characters the audeince took to" (the lemurs and the penguins) and no real ties shouldn't work.. but it does because the penguins are that strong and them doing various heists or other shenaigans work. Jullian and Maurice work as comic relief and having seen their show, work well enough on their own too. And Marlene and the Zookeepr were great additions. They let marlene be the voice of reason/love intrest without having her be boring. Granted getting Nicole Suilvan to play her helps, but the show was really good. Top notch stuff.

Fanboy and chum Chum: Their crazy totally amazing MAKE IT STOP PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. Yeah this one has an annoying theme song and like about half the shows in this block is a poor xerox of stuff that worked better in other shows. yet... it's more mediocre than bad. This may be THE most hated nicktoon, with only our next contestant rivaling it from what I can tell.. but it's just.. okay. It's not good, it dosen't really have anything going for it and most of it's gimmicks are taken from other shows , but it's not so bad it's good or high tier awful either. it's just a lame copy of better stuff trying to be spongebob or ren and stimpy or even regular show without any of the pizzaz those had. It's what an AI would make if it made a nicktoon. It's not really wroth hating it's just... there.

Planet Sheen:

Now for the oppisite. Fuck this show, First off I found out later it was supposed to be it's own thing.. and woul'dve worked better that way, with a pizza dude getting shot up into space. That.. sounds more fun and most of the cast would've worked. Making it a jimmy neutron spinoff.. was a terrible idea. The show had more to tell so instead of just.. reviving that if they wanted more jimmy neutron with a revivial/spinoff, they instead shoved Sheen into a concept that dosen't really work WITH sheen. Granted part of it is, especiallya fter revieiwng the christmas special recently.. sheen is more layered than he tends to be remembered. Even I forgot his nice well of sarcasm. Sheen in Jimmy Neutron is fucking weird... but he's often the straight man in their comedy trio to a degree I forgot. Carl really is the weird as fuck one, Jimmy is a man of science and can be the straight man to his doofier best friends, but can also get caught in his ego. Sheen tends to be the one calling jimmy out when Cindy isn't present or calling cindy out when LIbby isn't early on. Here.. he has none of that. He's just an obnoxious idiot who cheats on his girlfriend, also wanted to make out with carl (which isn't innacurate but of all the tthings to pick up on form jimmy neutron, and didn't use carl because of executiv emeddling. This one is the worst nicktoon so far.. simply because Nick tried to cram too much generic bullshit into it. It COULD'VE worked. Idiot stumbles into glory isn't new, but it would've worked better with a protagaanist they didn't dumb down in a new property. I dont' know why Nick made a terrible spinofff to a show they clearly don't care about, and I wish they hadn't.

TUFF Puppy: Kitty and Dudley tie.. both because they purdy, and because they play off each other pretty well when the shows working at it's best. Overall this show is just.. fine though. Not a bad get smart reboot, doofus with some talent lead and cat suited sensible sidekick, but like , say it again A LOT OF THESE SHOWS, it feels like reheated leftovers. It's just not AS bad because there's some creativity. For as much as butch hartman sucks, and he does, he can make a decent cast. He was half assing it a bit more here, but I suspect it's also because he didn't have say steve marmel to help iron things out. But as a broad comedy it's fine. It's nothing amazing, but it's not AGRESSIVELY medidocre like the bulk of shows around this time. It's stuff w'eve seen before, idiot, woman as foil, weird techie, chief whose goofier than he lets on, but it's also not bad. Maybe it's the furry in me... probably ti's the furry in me, but it also just has a lot of fun stuff to it. I can't really hate it like I did planet sheen or eh it away like most of these shows. It did try a little. Not a lot and it shoudl've tried more as it could've been really great, a new darkwing duck.. but it wasn't half bad. again Grey and Jerry do a LOT of the lifting. THe voice cast for this one is fantastic. But i'll take "it's eh but it has really good perofrmances " over "let's make the generic ideal of what a kid wants" anyday. CN hit a rough patch too, we saw it, mostly trying to follow nick's footsteps.. but nick REALLY slid in quality as it went with only a few bright spots. And what good shows it did have it gave up on too fast. and it just won't stop doing it either.

Background: a graduate of Arizona State University, Esme holds a degree in psychology.  Served in the USMC as an intel specialist in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Married a superior from USMC who was sixteen years her senior, but the relationship crumbled due to abuse (of all kinds). She met Tyler through Nik Khan, who -in a tweaked storyline from the first Extraction- needed the two of them to team up in Dhaka to find Ovi so Tyler could then extract him. After the incident on the bridge,  Esme stayed by Tyler’s first in a Mumbai hospital and then one in Sydney, Australia.   In the series, they settled down in Sydney after his release and that year she gave birth to their first, a daughter they named Amelia Grace Rake.

In ‘Lost and Found’, they lived in Tyler’s shack (featured in the movie) in The Kimberley.  They eventually (after a four-year separation) settle in Broome.

Муфлоны Ovis gmelini — жвачные парнокопытные, ближайшие родственники диких баранов. От других баранов они отличаются небольшими размерами. Муфлон распространен в Европе, Азии и даже на островах Средиземного моря. Именно муфлоны являются прародителями обычных домашних овец. Их вес сильно варьируется — от 20 до 200 кг, так как существует множество видов рода. Особи разных видов могут скрещиваться между собой. Генетики использовали эту возможность для выведения наиболее качественного потомства домашних овец — с покладистым характером, а также более красивой шерстью. Муфлоны — конституционно крепкие животные высотой до 70 см в холке. Крупный баран достигает примерно 1,25 м в длину. У самцов также есть большие рога, которые закручиваются в кольца. Их длина в среднем составляет 65 см, но они растут в течение всей жизни и могут достигать 80 см. Рога загнуты острыми концами внутрь, они испещрены поперечными полосами, что уменьшает их вес и делает их более прочными.

I'm not studying today, but I'm listening to SUMMA (2018) anyway.

Sara throws us another curveball in regards to genre shifts. The synths from SOLUS have shifted away from the 80's synthpop to something darker and more dramatic and modern.

The opening track, Avaa se ovi, is a dramatic, attention-grasping piece that grabs you by the throat from the first beat and doesn't let you go until the song ends.

And the curveballs don't stop, the next song, Kohina, is a thoughtful and melancholic piece that calms you down after the drama from the first track.

My favourite track on this album has to be Valve because of the lyrics. The lyrics allude to some omnipresent, vague beast that preys on you in your room, in your mind, in your bed. It really resonates with me because it sounds like it could be an allegory for mental illness. It's easily one of my fave songs from Sara.

I also have to mention Tässä on tulevaisuus. The chorus is out of this world in that song! It's dramatic, it's dark, it has evocative lyrics with interesting imaginery. It's a really good song.

Ei me olla ainoita and Ethän vielä kuole are an incredible pair of songs to place right after each other. Ei me olla ainoita is the heaviest song on the album and Ethän vielä kuole is one of the lightest. The contrast between the two songs is incredible.

Anna voimia is also a great sound. It opens with a bright, soaring synth riff and continues to have beautiful vocals and the break in the middle with the distant eagle sounds. It's a downright gorgeous song.

The first time I listened to SUMMA, I thought that they had left the synths from SOLUS behind, but now that I listen to it more closely, I notice that the synths are still there, but way different than you'd expect from SOLUS. They're now darker, more integrated and harmonious in the classic, melodic and heavy Sara sound than they were in SOLUS. You could say that the synths in SUMMA are more mature than they were in SOLUS. It's like they were experimenting with synths in SOLUS and using the factory settings, but in SUMMA they've fiddle with the settings and learned to use them in a way that suits Sara more. This isn't to say that SOLUS is worse for it, I absolutely love the sound in SOLUS, like I said yesterday. It's very interesting and fun to hear Sara's sound shift and evolve.

Overall, SUMMA is an incredible album. I cannot overstate how good this album is. The songs are dark and dramatic, the lyrics are evocative and thought-provoking, the synths and the guitars work together beautifully. It should tell you something that I've added all except one track to my Sara faves playlist. This is a solid no-skip album, banger after banger after banger. If you like your music dark and dramatic, this is the album for you.

Kokori was my comrade with uncommon courage – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu yesterday expressed a deep sense of loss over the passage of Chief Frank Ovie Kokori, former General Secretary of National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, describing him as a comrade and labour leader with uncommon courageTinubu who was represented by his Minister of State for Petroleum Resources ( Oil) Senator Heneiken Lokpobiri spoke at the funeral service for the late labour leader at St James Anglican church , Oviorie-Ovu , Ethiope East local government , Delta state, saying he had wanted to be physically present but could not make it because of pressing state matters.“Let me apologise for his inability to be here personally. He would have loved to be here by himself but because of other contending issues, he couldn’t and he directed me to be here instead. He told me that Kokori was his comrade when they were fighting for democracy and he would have loved to attend the burial and that is why I’m here”.He further described Kokori as a foremost nationalist who placed the good of the nation above personal interest, adding that his death was a huge loss to the entire nation.“He ( President ) told me that Kokori is the most foremost nationalist Nigeria has ever produced and that he is a man of uncommon courage. He is a selfless leader who put the interest of Nigeria above his own interest.“He also said Kokori is a man of proven integrity and a democrat who fought against the dreaded military regime for democracy to be restored in Nigeria. While some leaders were afraid and running away, Kokori stood there. He was the voice of the voiceless people, the voice of the less privileged people. These are words of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who has a close relationship with Chief Sir Kokori”.The president consoled the family of the late labour leader and Delta state, urging them to take solace in the legacies Kokori left behind.“Today as we have gathered here to mourn our departed icon, the president said I should call the governor, people of Delta and particularly the Kokori Family that the legacies of your father cannot be suppressed.“In life, it is not when you die that matters, it is what legacies you have left behind that matters. Kokori has left indelible marks in the history of this country and what is left with the children is to carry on with the baton. Kokori has done his own for the children to leverage on the outstanding legacies of your father to continue to render services to humanity.“The Bible said a man will live for three scores and 10 which is 70 but Kokori died at 80; he has lived well. God so loved him that he added 10 more years to him; Kokori has died well.“I want all of us to stop mourning and celebrate his exit to be with the Lord forever. Let me conclude by saying that Kokori’s death is not the death that will be painful to only Delta people. He was more of Nigerian before Deltan. His death is painful to all of us in the country and whatever we can do to continue from where he stopped is what all of us will do. Having said that, your Excellency, let me once again condole you over the death of this icon and also to thank you for the good work you are doing in Delta State.”Bishop of Warri Diocese of the Anglican communion, Bishop Christian Esezi in his homily urged Nigerians to build their hope in Christ Jesus, reading from 1st Thessalonians 4: 13 – 18 , he lauded the memories of Kokori..Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Minister of state for Development, Ayodele Olawande, were among personalities at the church service.President of NUPENG, Prince William Akporeha who spoke at the reception in Kokori’s Ovu community , assured that the union would continue to sustain the beautiful legacies Kokori left behind in labour struggle.

SVE ŠTO TREBATE ZNATI O POKRIVENOSTI STRANICE OD 5%

Pokrivenost od 5% je standard koji proizvođači koriste prilikom deklarisanja broja stranica koje može odštampati jedan kertridž ili toner. Ova mera, odnosno ovaj standard, odgovara ISO (International Organization for Standardization) broju 19752 ili 19798, u zavisnosti od tipa proizvoda. Na primer, ISO/IEC 19752 se koristi za crno-belu štampu, dok se ISO/IEC 19798 koristi za štampu u boji.

Šta je 5% pokrivenost stranice?

Ovo je procenat površine stranice koji je pokriven tekstom ili slikama. Ovaj standard je zasnovan na ideji prosečne stranice koja ima 5% površine pokrivene tekstom. Međutim, realnost je da većina štampanih materijala ima veću pokrivenost, što može direktno uticati na broj štampanih stranica.

Faktori koji utiču na stvarni kapacitet štampanja

Kapacitet štampanja može direktno zavisiti i od režima podešavanja štampača. Način podešavanja štampača, uključujući rezoluciju, gustinu i postavke fontova, takođe može uticati na stvarni kapacitet štampanja. Pored toga, korišćenje podebljanih slova može povećati pokrivenost stranice i smanjiti broj stranica koje kertridž ili toner za laserski štampač može odštampati.

Ilustracija različitih nivoa pokrivenosti

Različiti nivoi pokrivenosti mogu se ilustrovati kao:

• 5% pokrivenost: Većina stranice je prazna, sa malo teksta ili slika.

• 10% pokrivenost: Ima više sadržaja, ali još uvek dosta praznog prostora.

• 30% pokrivenost: Veći deo stranice je popunjen, ali još uvek ima prostora za dodatni sadržaj.

https://greenoffice.rs/img/cms/Blog/Pokrivenost%20stampe/ilustracija-nivoa-pokrivenosti.jpg

• 60% pokrivenost: Veliki deo stranice je ispunjen sadržajem, sa malo praznih delova.

• 80% pokrivenost: Gotovo cela stranica je popunjena, sa minimalnim praznim delovima.

Ovi primeri ilustruju kako različiti nivoi pokrivenosti utiču na izgled štampanih stranica. Važno je napomenuti da stvarni dokumenti obično imaju veću pokrivenost od 5%, što može rezultirati manjim brojem štampanih stranica od očekivanog.

Uticaj različitih nivoa pokrivenosti na broj stranica

Različiti nivoi pokrivenosti mogu imati značajan uticaj na stvarni broj štampanih stranica. Recimo da je kapacitet kertridža ili tonera deklarisan na 1000 stranica pri pokrivenosti od 5%. Ukoliko se isti kertridž koristi pri pokrivenosti od 10%, broj štampanih stranica može se značajno smanjiti. Na primer, pri većoj pokrivenosti od 10%, broj štampanih stranica bi mogao biti znatno manji do polovine deklarisanog broja.

Ovi primeri naglašavaju kako promena nivoa pokrivenosti može direktno uticati na stvarni broj stranica koje kertridž ili toner može odštampati.

Zablude i očekivanja korisnika

Često postoje zabune među korisnicima u vezi sa kapacitetom štampanja. Očekivanja se često razlikuju od stvarnosti zbog varijacija u sadržaju koji se štampa. Korisnici mogu očekivati veći broj stranica od deklarisanog, ali stvarna pokrivenost i vrsta sadržaja često rezultiraju manjim brojem štampanih stranica.

Saveti za efikasnije korišćenje potrošnog materijala za štampače

Da biste maksimizirali kapacitet štampanja i smanjili troškove, razmislite o nekoliko saveta. To uključuje izbegavanje nepotrebnog korišćenja podebljanja slova ili većih fontova koji mogu povećati pokrivenost stranice. Takođe, odabir odgovarajućeg režima štampe ili podešavanje štampača prema specifičnim zahtevima može pomoći u efikasnijem korišćenju potrošnog materijala.

Zaključak

Razumevanje 5% pokrivenosti stranice i faktora koji utiču na stvarni kapacitet štampanja omogućava korisnicima da realnije procene očekivanja od štampanja. Ovo znanje omogućava bolje upravljanje potrošnim materijalima i efikasnije korišćenje štampača.

Saying mcdavo is better than sid right now is def true but overall carear im still taking sid over mcdavid ten times the fact that hes 36 and is on track to have the season hes having is insanity and the way he produces chanses just uggggghh if he didnt have thoses concusions i would take him over lemieux

And Ovi has 500 more goals than Matthews, but I still think Matthews > Ovi. That extra ten years in the league is a pretty big caveat -- when I say "Connor McDavid is better" I mean that measuring them both in the first six hundred-odd games of their career (McDavid to now, Sid to somewhere in the 2014-15 season) Connor has 65 more points; half the penalty minutes; almost twice the game-winning goals; fewer points on the power play (despite his reputation as a PP merchant). The dead-puck era to now is not as much of a difference as people say it is -- this isn't the 80s. I mean, even by individual awards, McDavid has three Harts right now to Sid's career two. He's Better.

Yes, we'll never know how good Sidney really could have been because of the concussions, and he will always have his three Cups (which, you know, not out of reach for Connor either), but we really do need to take a good long look at ourselves beyond the image of the perfect Canadian saviour sometimes

DALL OR THIN-HORN SHEEP https://bcfirearmsacademy.ca/dall-or-thin-horn-sheep/ Ovis dalli, also known as the Dall sheep or thinhorn sheep, is a species of wild sheep native to northwestern North America. BOOK YOUR CORE EXAM HERE They browse a variety of plants such as grasses, sedges and even shrubs such as willow, during different times of the year. They also acquire minerals to supplement their diet from mineral licks. Like other Ovis species, the rams engage in dominance contests with their horns. Dall sheep stand about 3 ft (0.9 m) at the shoulder. They are off-white in color, and their coat consists of a fine wool undercoat and stiff, long, and hollow guard hairs. Their winter coats can be over 2 inches (5 cm) thick. Dall sheep can live to be 12 to 16 years of age. BOOK YOUR CORE EXAM HERE Rams are larger than ewes and typically weigh between 160 and 180 pounds (70 and 80 kg) at maturity. Ewes weigh approximately 100 to 110 pounds (45 to 50 kg) on average. During the winter, adult sheep may lose up to 16% of their body mass, and lambs and yearlings as much as 40% depending on winter weather severity. Dall sheep begin growing horns at about two months old. Ewes have small, slender horns compared to the massive, curling horns of rams. Young rams resemble ewes until they are about 3 years of age. At this point, their horns begin to grow much faster and larger than ewes' horns. (at BC Firearms Academy - Surrey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmX-GbDrml_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

YOU TURN EVERY COLOR PALETTE INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, OVY!

I am just blown away. Every. Single. Time.

I adore how you did patchwork colors on the floor. It gives it such a disco dancin' vibe. I would totally buy that Ember is performing for 80's night at the Material Grill. Love all the sparkle lights you added in too. And the four way shadows around the feet. Plus the colors in the lights and Danny's blue skin. This is so freaking pleasing with the colors of the palette. Great job working with something so dark!

Also. THIS WORKS AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ALTERATIONS. Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it happened a second time.
