  • Offside in Ice Hockey clarification?

    Offside is when an offensive player enters the defensive zone before the puck (is this correct?)

    Does this include the following situation?

    Offensive player enters the defensive zone with the puck (i.e., since he's playing it, it goes in before he does). He shoots to another offensive player who has entered the defensive zone after him. The 2nd offensive player shoots it back into the center area. At this point, there are 2 offensive players in the defensive zone. If someone shoots it back into the defensive zone, is it offiside?

    Can an offensive player enter the defensive zone if no one is playing there? Or is this still offside?

    Feel free to explain in comparison to soccer, where I do understand the offside rule.

  • Leather care in salty winter?

    What can I do to care for leather shoes in midwest winters? The roads get salted on a regular basis, and I can see the salt stains on my new shoes. Sure, leather cream will help keep it nice, assuming the weather is just rain. Is there something to get the salt out of the leather? Keep the salt out of the leather to begin with?

  • source of lyrics?

    I made a note while writing, having heard a song I liked. Unfortunately, this was quite a while ago, and I can't recall where I heard it. The note was

    "When Morning Comes to America" - male voice

    I don't know if this was the refrain or simply what I thought the title might be. Most likely was *not* rock/indie, more likely classical/bluegrass/folk.

    Any help? Any suggestion about where to look for it?

  • Where's the light meter for an old Pentax Asahi SP500?

    It's an OLD 35mm - the 35+ year old solid steel nuclear-survivable camera. I know how to use a built-in light meter to set the f-stop: my first camera I learned on is a Canon FTb. On the left post, where the exposed film winds, is where the Canon's is, but on my Pentax, there's markings for "empty", color, and panchero. What are these for? And, of course, where can I get an owner's manual for this old dinosaur? I got this before finding a replacement for my beloved old Canon. Since I've got it, I want to be able to use it.
