Tkachuk wins it for the Panthers at 19:47 in 4OT. Sixth longest playoff game in NHL history.
I was there until the final whistle. Proud of my fellow Canes fans who never stopped yelling and cheering; we were all emotionally drained. Such a shame could not find the winner. I think if we lose game 2, could be all she wrote.

I like books. Books are good.
I mainly read books about history or people tho. I recently finished one about Jack The Ripper.
Anyways, is this the place for this? Maybe... recently schools have started to talk about banning certain books?
Yes or no?
I say no because history is what it is and we can't hide from it and pretend certain great authors didn't exist because maybe they weren't up to today's standard of people
I agree. A lot of books that are deemed not appropriate for schools really are due to the lessons they contain within them of a moral nature.

Has anybody thought of enrolling MTG in a civics 101 class so she can realize what a waste it is to keep drawing up articles of impeachment that will never pass the House?
I'd enroll her in 'Don't be a dumb *****' seminar...but civics could work also.

Great thread! My previous career was as a librarian so obviously I love to read lol.
My favorite genre is crime fiction and sports biographies, but every so often read fantasy. Not that big on sci-fi.
My favorite authors:
James Lee Burke
Ian Rankin
Peter Lovesey
Mike Lupica
Joe Abercrombie
Currently reading CJ Box and his newest novel, 'Storm Watch'. On deck if you will is 'Shoe Dog', Phil Knight's(Founder of Nike) memoir.

Always the best time of the season this! Well and the first game week lol. Think we have some good rookies here and eager to see what they can all do moving forward.
Been off the forum for a bit due to some pretty bad things that went on in my life: Bad wreck, loss of employment, etc but am in a better place now and looking forward to a new season of Bomber football.
Hope everyone here has been doing alright.👍

Great series. Love the books too.
Yeah the books are awesome. Just to go with your username, I am a huge Ian Rankin fan also; new Rebus book out this fall😀One of the best characters in crime fiction for sure. If you like Rankin, Mark Billingham's Thorne series is great also and Peter Lovesey's Diamond series.

Well I suppose a win is a win but let's be honest here: Helped tremendously by boneheaded penalties by Ottawa. Simply have to be more efficient on offense moving forward and that starts next Friday againt the Tiger Cats.

I am afraid that with your political system being what it is and with the unrestricted, massive flow of money both in the open and dark money to sway candidates, there is little chance of meaningful change in your country. The massive inequality and concentration of power has created system that benefits few and fuels the violence and unrest there. I feel for the many good people in America who are essentially powerless.
Oh I agree with you pal, unfortunately. Politicians here in the US are as crooked as they come, and even though they are supposed to represent the people most of them are just stuck up their own asses to really come up and pass any viable legislation for the betterment of Americans. As you say, us general citizens pretty much have our hands tied. We can protest for change and whatever else similar, but at the end of the day those in charge will do whats in their best interests.
When I was in High School and college I felt way more pride in my country than I do now. All I can do is hope that things change sooner rather than later. What else is there to do?

Not really referencing the Bible friend; a lot of schools do not allow that kind of thing, especially here in the Southern US due to how much of a heated thing it is and not wanting to push religion on to kids if you will. I'm a Christian myself, not a hardcore one by any means mind, but I can see why people would want their kids to choose their own religious affiliation if you will rather than have it be forced upon them.
The main books I am talking about are books like Catch-22 and essentially anything by Vonnegut lol, etc. Children need to understand about other places, perspectives, etc.
