That's not even right! I'm with you on this one, Duch. Who could go without watching the Super Bowl. Hopefully they'll figure it out before Feb 5^th. I'd be really butthurt. I LOVE football!i!i

If they can show the SuperBowl in BumFuckEgypt they better televise it on the East Coast!

True, there are going to be riots if they don't. That's like messing with thousands of women on PMS.

MEREDITH, N.H. -- Unseasonably warm weather has forced organizers to move the New England Pond Hockey Tournament.

Lake Winnipesaukee has not frozen enough to hold the tournament, which draws teams from across the country. Organizers said it will instead be held on Feb. 3-5 at Lake Waukewan in Meredith.

The new location poses some challenges, such as a lack of parking.

Shuttle service will be set up at three locations around town. The first location is Hart's Turkey Farm and Laconia Harley Davidson on Route 3 in Meredith. The second location is Chase House Inn, the PHC Tournament headquarters. This location is for participants staying at the Inns and Spa at Mill Falls or participants parking in public lots in and around downtown Meredith.

Organizers said Lake Waukewan is the water supply for Meredith, so there are strict rules in place. There can be no fires, no cars or trucks and no trash left on the ice. Organizers also warned against what they called expending bodily fluids. They said any violation of the rules could end the tournament. don't pee on the ice Maggot.

A lot of games and tournaments normally played on the ponds around here have been moved, postponed or cancelled all together. We normally get a 4 to 5 day cold snap in early January, and that just hasn't happened this year. Hell, the ski resorts up here can't even open all their trails, and most of them wouldn't have any trails if it weren't for snow guns.

Right now, I've got 5" of very watery slush in my drive way-can't plow the shit, it just runs back into place. At this point, I wish it were ice, at least my feet would stay dry.

My DirecTv was all fucked up this morning. I only had 30 channels. It's fixed now...I don't know what's going on with it.
It better not be blacked out for the Super Bowl since it's playing in my state!!

Are you hearing anything about Peyton that's not being reported on outside of your state?

Like you could do anything about it if it is.

As far as I'm concerned it's a fucked up waste of a channel to have it on.

I don't know what everyone else has heard. It sounds like he's not going to be playing for the Colts anymore from everything I've heard.
People are saying the new quarterback Andrew Luck is more in tune with the kind of Football the new coach wants to play. All about the defense with this guy.
I see him going to the Jets but that's just my opinion.

Of course there's something I can do...and thousands of others too. We can all tell DirecTv to fuck off. Kind of like people did with Netflix, and the bank surcharges.
People are fed the fuck up with these big losers holding their hands out for more, more more...

his injuries are life-threatening according to Union Leader.
this is what happens when you ski on dirt!

DANBURY, N.H. -- A 60-year-old skier has been hospitalized after a fire chief says he suffered "severe trauma" on the slopes of Ragged Mountain Ski Resort.

Resort spokeswoman Stacy Lopes told The Citizen that the skier suffered the injury Sunday morning on the Lower Ridge Trail, an intermediate groomed trail.

Danbury Fire Chief Tom Austin says the man was airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where his condition was not immediately known. His name has not been released.

Principal Jumps Into River After Boy Falls Through Thin Ice


ROCHESTER, N.H. -- An elementary school principal jumped into a frozen Cocheco River on Wednesday to save a 10-year-old student who fell through the ice.

Firefighters said that because of Principal Gwen Rhodes' quick action, Andrew Brown was only in the water for a few short minutes.

Rhodes said she was just doing her job when she jumped into the river to rescue Andrew, who had fallen through the ice outside the Gonic School in Rochester.

"Everyone worked as a team and reacted quickly," she said.

Rhodes said the boy, who has autism, ran away from a teacher and through the woods behind the school onto the frozen river after a morning break. Both the teacher and Rhodes took off after him and saw him come to a stop on a patch of thin ice.

"And then the ice broke, so the first reaction was I needed to get him out of the water, keep his head above water and get him back up the embankment," Rhodes said.

Rhodes said she was able to get to Andrew and use trees along the riverbank to pull them both to safety.

"We were able to work our way to the edge, and I used a tree to brace my foot that was under the water, and I pushed him and got him out of the water," she said.

While many are calling her a hero, Rhodes insisted she was in the right place at the right time.

"This is just something that's a circumstance, and you did what you needed to do," she said. "But what we do every day is what makes people who work in schools heroes."

"If she wasn't there in that incident, who knows what would have happened," said Chris Brown, the victim's father.

Brown and his wife, Tricia, said they're grateful Andrew is OK and will be back in school Friday.

Officials said Rhodes and Andrew were treated for hypothermia and some bruises, but they're doing fine.

Every once in a while one of the Easter seals kids gets loose and they go tearing up the road with one shoe on or something screaming their lungs out and then a fat securuty gaurd comes running after them huffing and puffing. Then a lady that looks like a marathon runner passes the fat guy like nothing and almost has to tackle the kid.
My lunches are sometimes exciting like that. None of them has gone into the swamp though. Yet.

tragic and avoidable. the ice was only 2 inches thick!





A suburban Chicago father of three died after he fell through the ice while playing ice hockey with his young son.

Patrick ‘Rocky’ Rorig, 47, fell through two-inch thick ice on the pond behind his house and plummeted into the freezing waters.

He was submerged for 31 minutes before rescuers were able to retrieve his body.

Mr Rorig, who worked as a custom home builder in Johnsburg, is the second person to fall through the ice in the greater Chicago area this month alone.

Justin Ribar, 29, an ice fisherman, died after falling through Pistakee Lake on February 3.

very cool!

GRAY, Maine — One month after it was postponed because of thin ice, the third annual Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby was held last Saturday.

Several hundred anglers competed for more than $10,000 in prizes for everything from the biggest fish to the most patriotic ice shanty.

Clint Jones of Casco won the grand prize, hauling in a 3.14-pound brook trout.

MN has had several deaths this year (and vehicles plunging through, too) as a result of very thin, unstable ice.

Normally, March 1^st would be the date where fish houses are ordered off area lakes, but this year that was changed to early February.

Vehicles have not been allowed on Hennepin County lakes for that past 2 weeks.
