Cultivating an interest in arts and crafts can be an excellent hobby, or even the start of a fulfilling career. From scrapbooking to quilting to sewing, the different arts and crafts skills waiting for you can turn your free time into a productive and enjoyable asset. Learning what you can about the crafty things you are interested in is crucial, so continue reading and begin to form your knowledge base.
Do you need craft supplies? There are a lot of online places to find your craft items at a big savings. Do a search and see what kind of deals you can find on the materials you need. Free shipping is one thing you should look for at these stores.
Your children will get messy when they are taking part in arts and crafts. If that stresses you out, put newsprint or butcher paper down on surfaces to catch drops of glue, paper, glitter and other crafting debris. Use washable materials, such as washable adhesives and markers.
If you can't seem to find reasonably priced art supplies, check second hand stores. Goodwill and similar consignment stores have a lot of goodies to entice the savvy artist. You need to go regularly, since the merchandise turns over often.
Anyone interested in crafting will find a fabulous assortment of jewelry making supplies at Beadaholique. Beautiful jewelry can be made with many different accessories. Costume jewelry is incorporated into the majority of contemporary fashions. Create pieces for every outfit and save some dollars when you make it yourself.
Crafting is fun with kids. Just give them a general idea and let them be creative. For instance, they might glue a nose where you'd expect an eyebrow. Imaginative ideas should come before ideal execution.
You can find plenty of supplies for arts and crafts at Etsy. This online crafts retailer sells items directly from individual crafters. You can buy supplies here, and you can sell your creations, too. You can find vintage media and other great supplies here.
Kids at all age levels love to do arts and crafts. If you have a group of kids consider a project that they will enjoy. If you lack ideas, check the Internet or ask your friends.
If you're looking for arts and crafts materials, give a hard look at your kitchen. There are many cool craft items out there to try. You can use old dishes, jars, metal and a plethora of other objects that are perfect for crafting. Dried pasta could be a material you can use also.
If you want to learn to oil paint, grab a canvas. Don't worry, if you make a mistake, you can simply paint over the canvas. Oil is very adaptable, and the extra coats of paint will not harm the surface in any way. In fact, the revised edition might be your favorite project yet!
Make a bird feeder with the kids by using a pine cone covered with peanut butter. Then, while it is sticky, coat it in bird seed. The seeds will stick to it, even once it is dry. Then you simply attach a string and enjoy the sight of birds feeding.
Before choosing a specific craft project, be sure you have all that you need to do it. It's annoying when you must abandon your project to go buy more supplies. Jot down a list with your needed supplies, and make sure you have it before you get started.
Keep product packaging. You may be able to use these materials for different projects. Store this material in a bin and go to it when you're struggling for inspiration.
Check for deals online. You can get good deals on the Internet. Don't just rely on a big retailer. It won't be unusual for you to find that you can save quite a bit more money buying your supplies online than what you find in local stores.
If you find yourself with brushes already full of paint or difficult to wash, let them soak in baby oil a few moments before trying to wash them. They will be easier to wash, and they'll last longer as a result.
Create items you can use around your home. You can create any kind of decor, and you can also create things that provide a service to you and your family. And, they also make for great gifts to other people who can also use them.
Even though not many people sew anymore, you can still use some projects as a private learning experience. Select a fabric that lures you in and start with an easy project. Browse through the pattern books to find a pattern you want to make and follow the directions carefully.
Your kitchen pantry holds many craft supplies for your kids. Paper plates, old silverware, dried pasta and some basics like paint, glitter and glue can go a long way for great projects. Let the kids glue pasta into patterns on paper plates, then let them paint the pasta.
Looking to pick up knitting, but confused where to begin? There are tons of books on the subject that can teach you the ropes. Learn what you need by reading and viewing pictures.
Crafts are messy. Things smear, fall and drip when doing arts and crafts activities. This is quite normal. If you plan ahead, and protect your surfaces, you will not find yourself upset. When you aren't prepared, the worst will happen.
Do you appreciate handmade items? Are you short on time and thinking you could never create such beautiful things? You may be surprised at how quickly you can develop a new crafting skill. Attend a class for pottery instruction or build birdhouses in your garage.
To create a great tuffet for a loved one's baby, be sure the cushioned section is big enough for them to sit or lie down in as they get older. You can add a pocket for books or toys, too.
Now you're ready to begin creating anything you can imagine. Use each one to enjoy crafting more. Over time, you will find that your products get better, leaving you with an exceptional creation.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service has extended the deadline for issuers of tax-exempt and tax-advantaged bonds that file claims for the recovery of excess arbitrage they inadvertently rebated to the federal government.
Revenue Procedure 2017-50, which takes effect on Aug. 25, also applies to claims for the recovery of excess yield reduction payments or penalties in lieu of arbitrage rebate that issuers made to the federal government.
The IRS extended the deadline to two years and sixty days from two years for issuers who make these three types of payments to the federal government in a timely manner, that is, within 60 days after the issuer's final computation date of whether it has earned arbitrage. The final computation date is when a bond matures or is redeemed.
The new revenue procedure also allows issuers for the first time to file claims for recovery of overpayments if they made late payments to the federal government. These would be payments made after 60 days from their final computation date. They would have within two years after the late payment to file the claim.
The IRS said the changes were made "in the interest of sound tax administration.''
The deadline extension for claims for recovery of overpayments when payments were made on time was made to include the 60-day grace period to the existing two-year period. And the new procedure establishes a program to recover overpayments for late payments made to the federal government, which previously did not exist.
The revision covers tax-exempt as well as direct-pay and tax credit bonds, the latter two of which include Build America Bonds, Qualified Zone Academy Bonds, Qualified School Construction Bonds, Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds, Clean Renewable Energy Bonds, and New Clean Renewable Energy Bonds. Even though direct-pay and tax credit bonds are taxable, they must still comply with arbitrage requirements.
Arbitrage can be rebated to the federal government over many years that the bonds are outstanding. The tax law requires arbitrage to be rebated in installments of at least once every five years during the life of the bond issue.
Sixty days were added to the claim deadline for overpayments of timely payments because the previous two-year deadline had failed to take into account the 60-day grace period.
The new deadline gives issuers that made a final rebate payment 60 days after the final discharge a full two years and sixty days to determine if there was an overpayment and file a claim with the IRS.
In addition, in cases where a late excess rebate payment is made after the 60-day window for final rebate payments, the revenue procedure now allows claims for overpayments to be made during a two-year window.
Before this revenue procedure took effect, there was no way for a bond issuer who made a late final payment to file a claim if it later discovered it to be an overpayment.
Arbitrage occurs when an issuer invests its bond proceeds at a higher yield than the bond yield.
Bond issuers frequently invest their bonds proceeds until the money is needed. For instance, bond proceeds may be used on an ongoing basis as a contractor sends invoices for completed parts of a project.
The arbitrage earnings from those from higher yielding investments must be rebated to the federal government. The tax law permits issuers of certain construction issues to pay a penalty in lieu of arbitrage rebate. Issuers are also permitted to make yield reduction payments.
Some bond issuers miscalculate the amount of amounts they owe and discover the overpayments at a later date.

What is Gold? It is the most wanted of all precious metals. Your can read the Gold Prospectors Handbook by Black Jack. The real attraction of this precious metal is the hunt, the find and the adventure. It has an unusual property: Its density is 19 times that of water. The color and appearance is extremely unique, an yellowish glow. This metal is also soft in comparison with other metals. This metal is also non-magnetic. The chemical symbol of Gold is Au. See live Gold price below.
Gold Price Support And Resistance
Gold Futures daily Candlestick Chart
The chart above the daily candles will update automatically with gold price movements. You need to refresh the page manually.
Gold is traded heavily in MCX futures market and falls under the bullion category. The price quoted is for 10 grams. So if you see price of near month future is 29050, that means price of 10 grams of Gold is 29050. The trading unit is 1 kg.
There is also a mini version available in MCX where traders can trade 100 gms in the contract. Another popular bullion traded in MCX is Silver.
Brokers like Zerodha needs margin of around Rs. 1,15,000 to carry forward a Gold contract and they needs margin of Rs. 11500 to trade 1 lot of Gold Mini. In general intraday players try to catch 100 points in Gold price movement. So with an accuracy of 60% also if a trader can make 100 x 3 = 300 points in 3 winning trades and he loses 50 x 2 = 100 points in 2 losing trades then also he is making net profit of 200 points weekly from Gold contract.
You can create a Gold trading system with a 1:2 risk reward ratio and make good money from the commodity markets. Many traders use Pivot Point analysis OR Opening Range Breakout analysis to trade gold for intraday. For positional trading you can use SuperTrend indicator to trade Gold.

Other suggestions are welcom. It's good that catalina.sh does not remove tomcat.pid, since it never creates it in the first place. As Chuck points out, you are probably running a Tomcat packaged by a 3rd-party (like Debian, RedHat, etc.). If that's the case, you need to consult their documentation and/or mailing lists. This list, in general, supports only the standard Tomcat distribution. If you've modified your own catalina.sh, then you can probably figure out how to add "rm tomcat.pid" to your own script. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmsE3kACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAS8wCghOdJrw6NyqX35t8xJBuBvsHQ QXMAn1ij2PbzXSuU25VWR6/0k2OAdZaj =w15+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Caring for the carer
Just as the person with dementia needs support to offset the challenges that come with dementia, so too do the people in that person's life, especially the person in the 24/7 caring role.
The type of support offered sometimes depends on the care setting. Sonas apc provides training in communication, psycho-social approaches and non-pharmacological interventions, to those who care for people with dementia in residential and hospital settings. People who care in the family home often have access to very little support and training. Through our annual conference, we are trying to address this, bringing knowledge, innovative programmes and approaches, to equip caregivers to understand the person with dementia and support a better life for them both.
Unfortunately, the family caregiver is often an older person themselves, and their own health can be fragile. Caring for the carer is an important, often overlooked, necessity.
The Alzheimer Cafes and other support groups offer support to people who care for loved ones in the family home.
For more information on our training, go to our training page.
See www.alzheimercafe.ie for information about Alzheimer Cafes.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland provides a helpline and support services nationwide. See www.alzheimer.ie for details of your local branch.

The Illinois Appellate Court has dismissed an appeal challenging a judicial ruling that Du Page County does not have home-rule status, saying that former County Board Chairman Jack T. Knuepfer had no right to order the appeal.
The dismissal doesn`t even consider the legal merits of the case.
``We need not address the merits of this issue, because . . . defendant does not have standing to bring this appeal,`` wrote Justice Lawrence D. Inglis of Waukegan.

According to numerous sources, the monsoons and flooding in Pakistan represent one of the largest humanitarian crises in recent times. Roughly 18 million victims have fled their homes, and the government and international aid organizations struggle to deliver appropriate aid. The victims represent one tenth of Pakistan's population.
I have recently become a volunteer in pakreport.org, which maps the crisis in Pakistan as it is happening. Pakreport is using the open source platform Ushahidi to categorize and map various types of emergencies, health hazards and security issues to help law enforcement and aid workers. Here is how it works:
- Project leaders arrange with the local telecomunications provider a short code (3441 for Pakistan) that enables people to route messages about the disaster
- Team members and aid workers distribute flyers to people on the ground, instructing them to report via text message (SMS) occurrences of disease, malnutrition, water sanitation, crime, emergency and shelter
- Pakreport receives text messages. Volunteers translate, categorize and map text messages, which create the map; a critical component is locating the longitude and latitude of each report to locate it on the map
- If you click through to pakreport, you will see the various categories of health hazards, each with its own map. This helps aid organizations to triage their resources based on the real-time reporting of need
I am very excited to be apart of pakreport because it is a direct way to help flood victims. If you would like to learn more, here are some amazing links:

From the Charlotte Observer:
"The economy has slowed and the dollar is weakening -- not usually a winning combination for small U.S. retailers. But many of those who sell their goods online are finding that buyers from other countries are gradually making up a larger portion of sales."
From The New York Sun:
"With the euro and the pound at record highs, visitors are flocking to New York City, making the hospitality industry one of the fastest-growing segments of the commercial real estate market."
From CNN Money:
"One clear winner from the falling dollar: The $518 billion U.S. tourism industry. A weak dollar makes it more expensive for Americans to jaunt to London or other parts of Europe, but it also makes the U.S. a bargain destination for visitors from overseas."
From MSNBC:
"While the economic shift likely would draw out some winners in the U.S. economy, such as companies that sell goods and services overseas, it would also likely sharply reduce America's purchasing power and cause seismic shifts in some sectors of the economy. For example, factories once deemed too expensive to operate in the United States might again turn out products such as clothing that could become expensive to import."

Cake Buffet!!
I knew the word "cake buffet" would get your attention! I love the idea of having multiple styles and flavors of cake made and displaying them on beautiful vintage cake stands. Your guests have more option and you don't have to do the traditional multi-tier wedding cake (unless you want to!). Have a special cake made for you and your groom to cut into and display your topper or flowers on! How fun!!

DIY Gorgeous Ring Pillow
Don't sweat the small stuff ladies! I know brides can get swept up in all the details that go into a wedding. Really, the details practically make a wedding! But, before going Bridezilla because you can't get all the little details exactly right, try doing them yourself or enlisting the help of crafty family and friends. The truth is wedding accessories and decor are usually TERRIBLY marked up and you could make the item for half the cost. Plus, they are extra special that way!! Find the how-to on this beautiful ring pillow at Martha Stwewart.

DIY Retro Photo booth Save-the-Dates
My fiancé and I loved the idea of an old fashioned photo-booth Save-the-Date. But, we wanted to make it more original & more old-school...more us. We also wanted to do them on a budget. So, I started looking at different paper, cardstock, and envelope options to make them myself. I found cardstock in a vintage-y cream and black envelopes (this is our color combo). I bought a stamp and one pack of photo paper. Then- we got to work. Instead of going to a photo booth and getting one shot to get the right pictures, once again we broke out our trusty digital camera and tri-pod. We positioned ourselves on a bench in front of hanging curtains and put the camera on auto. We took sooo many fun pictures and chose our favorites to put on the Save the Date!

I am 25 Going on 26Posted by JoeyBreak
I had a great time during my short stay (five nights) in Austria. I stayed two nights in Vienna, where the (main cathedral) St. Stephan's gothic architecture makes the church look almost frightening. It has a very intricately tiled roof like no other church and is also very gorgeous on the inside. Let it be no surpise that it has been under construction for I don't know how many years, as it needs constant maintenance.
When I walked in for a look at the inside, I happened upon a daily mass in which a rich sounding organ was audibly gothic but enchanting nonetheless. I tried to record some of it with my camera so if this video works, take a look/listen...
After that I found Mama's Kitchen, a short walk from the cathedral, for some food. Here it is, my first and only Austrian Weiner Schnitzel (one as chicken and one as pork) - with some potatoes and a Coke. It was great to my palatte but all fried food doesn't differ a lot.
Vienna is the city of music and so what better place to go to the opera? Unfortunately, the night I could attend the opera house was the opening night of a ballet. I was happy to attend that as well, especially since the next night's opera from Richard Wagner was like 5 hours long! The great thing about the ballet is that there's an orchestra/band that plays the music piece for the performers. It was just awesome to hear and amazing to watch. I can only describe it as the audiovisual harmony of three different types of people: one dedicated to choreography, one dedicated to (real difficult) dance, and one dedicated to an instrument. I don't know for sure if photos were allowed or if it was ok as long as there was no flash, but here is one during the performance of Anna Karenina.
The next morning I found my way to a lake that was just outside of the city. I only knew about it because it was on my big city map. On my way there I captured this great image as an exhibit of the local policy on public consumption of alcohol. At the lake, I spotted two old men killing some time.
From Vienna I was off to Salzburg and only because I heard it was beautiful there. Here's a great view a small part of the city, the river flowing through it, and the castle above...
Lucky for me, the hostel in Salzburg made it easy to get in on tours. The first tour I did was a tour of the ice caves. It was pretty amazing to see and the pictures that I took at that altitude were pretty good, too - even captured video of the cable car ride up, and cable car ride down the mountain.
Remember any songs from that old but not so old musical The Sound of Music? The Sound of Music tour was the second tour that I registered for, on my second full day in Salzburg. It was really quite pleasant and the tour guide was a hoot - full of good wit, funny jokes, history, and fast facts. I now know that Salzburg has a population of about 150,000 yet has 45 Catholic churches. No excuse to miss mass on Sunday here, especially if you speak Deutsch. Does anyone remember what scene of the movie this gazebo can be seen in?

Instead, this is about more local politics, with a bicycle angel of course. Yesterday I had the opportunity, good or bad is hard to say, to attend the Community Assembly, which is the city-wide group of Neighborhood Council presidents. The Neighborhood Councils are neighborhood groups that bring their concerns and desires to the city through a fairly formal process. I've described that process in part, in a secondary manner, in some previous blogs. In essence, it's an advisory committee that reports to/through an advisory committee that reports to/through a third advisory committee before getting a hearing before the city council, the legislative body for the city. The Bicycle Advisory Board is similarly an advisory committee that technically advises the mayor but works closely with the city council and an appropriate city departments as well. But enough of that.
Yesterday's CA meeting took up the resolution I described in some previous entries, the two just prior to this one for certain. I was one of several BAB members in attendance, and one of three who spoke. The biggest concern the BAB had was the resolution was a back-door move, no matter what proponents might otherwise say, to undermine the BAB, to shift some of the BAB's advisory oversight to neighborhood groups. This happened because one neighborhood representative thought we were giving him short shrift. The fundamental flaw in his thinking is that just because a neighborhood thinks something is good for that neighborhood, a bicycle boulevard in this instance, doesn't mean it's a good choice for a pilot project. Because the BAB, and ultimately the city council, stymied his move, he drafted and submitted a resolution to shift bicycle boulevard oversight from the BAB to the neighborhoods, though it isn't made clear if it's to the CA or the individual NCs, just one of the flaws in the resolution. In his words, the BAB wasn't (he said, I think, "isn't") capable of overseeing routes that went through residential neighborhoods. Most of his critics, of which I consider myself, would argue he isn't capable of seeing beyond his neighborhood, though he would protest such a notion. He didn't come right out and say it was a sour grapes move, that he didn't get what he wanted so, rather than take his ball and go home, he was going to take the BAB's ball and go home, if he could get it legislated. Anyone, along with the BAB members speaking against the resolution, two members of city support staff, and a few NC members, either spoke against it or expressed concern with how the whole thing played out without their knowledge, without their knowing a discussion of this sort was going on, that they, as a neighborhood, were trying to score something the others had no idea was on the table. I don't think that worked in his favor.
I spoke against the manner in which he had described bicycle boulevards, which he saw, and likely still sees, as something analogous to a bicycle and pedestrian trail through a neighborhood. Some on the CA described them as something akin to bicycle bunny hills, a place for beginners, which is also wrongheaded, but based on what had been presented, an understandable misperception. I explained that bicycle boulevards are part of a broader network that take riders off busy streets and the safe riding for kids and less experienced cyclists was a secondary benefit, but not the primary function of such a boulevard, at least in cities such as Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, B.C., Berkeley and others who use them. It's almost like some were looking for a street turned playground for cyclists who are not traffic aware. I'm not sure anyone was disabused.
Another fundamental flaw in the resolution is the division of cyclists into three types, something of an unholy, but holy in that they are generally inseparable, trinity: commuters, recreational, and utilitarian cyclists. The neighborhoods would have oversight of the so-called utilitarian cycling needs. Now, I'm not sure why my commuting isn't utilitarian, because it certainly is and I'm not sure why my commuting isn't recreational, because it certainly is when I take the long way home. My sense is this was a way to make the shift more palatable to those who didn't understand the issue. He also sought to create a wedge in portraying BAB members as out of touch with the needs of the novice or less experienced cyclist. Perhaps this is akin to saying that the teacher can't relate to the ignorant student, but it's fallacious at least, possibly an attempt to confound the discussion. Either way, I think many didn't buy the phony division.
The one bit that left a somewhat sour taste in my mouth, that makes me view the whole thing as being disingenuous, is that the resolution was, at the CA meeting, presented as the beginning of a discussion. Of course, the resolution doesn't say it's a hoped for discussion starter. Instead, it says that oversight of so-called utilitarian cycling will shift from one advisory group to another. Nothing about a discussion. The cynic in me would say that it's purposeful, or that he's back tracking from his original intent. Who knows. I do know I'm not the only one involved who takes what he says with more than a grain of salt. I wrote a letter to the editor attacking this man's desire to fill a vacant city council seat and I sent him a copy. He drafts a resolution and unbeknownst to anyone who might hold a contrary view, gets it through two steps of the process before we are made aware of it, and by a third party. I may not be gracious, probably never will be, but at least I can attest to my being forthright in this instance. I do question his forthrightness when he describes the resolution one way and presents a resolution that is not at all what he characterizes it as. Again, he may be stepping back, trying to soft peddle, or he may be soft-selling the resolution, hoping people will listen to what he says rather than what the resolution contains. To make sure this doesn't happen, BAB members are going to attend as many NC meetings in the next month as possible. I'm also going to ask my NC representative to request a rescinding of the discussion being cut off. Right now the resolution has been tabled until next month with no discussion public discussion allowed. Hardly democratic but based on what I've witnessed, he's not up on his Robert's Rules, having tried to withdraw a motion after it was already on the floor and under discussion, a decided no-no. At that point, it's out of his hands.
There's a good chance this resolution will go down to defeat next month, solely on its merits, and it might happen even if BAB members sit back and watch, but we've decided we need to do otherwise. We can't get to all 30 or so of the NC meetings in the next month, but if we can enlighten a few, get them to see the whole story, they can share it with other members. In short, I think the supporters of the resolution will end up hanging themselves once the discussion is fully fleshed out in an informed manner, with input from all interested parties and not just one-sided, back channel discussions focusing on the views of those behind the resolution. As usual, more will be revealed. Happy New Year!

Ugly Ducking
Being the SOA strategist for the company and de facto architect of the very first SOA implementation, the ball fell in my court to find someone that fit the bill. "That should be easy." I mused. I just need to bring in some of the folks we work with if we are short on bandwidth in our company. Few phone calls and we have someone available! That in current state of the economy is an achievement! We talked about the whole arrangement and presented the person to the client. They all liked each other and everything was right on track -- until procurement got involved that is.
While talking to guys in the procurement maze, it became clear that they had a different view and take on the whole thing. The department had created a set of job profiles and related rate ranges. That sort of thing works well for most mainstream skill sets. It makes sure that the cost of certain skill set is streamlined across different departments. IT managers from all over the company can query procurement about what a typical, say, system administrator would cost. In this case, after the initial discussion, procurement folks concluded that this is a "software developer" requirement and thus falls within a certain rate range.
Now, I'm not going to judge how much they should pay to whom, but I can certainly say that SOA solution developers are not as plentiful as, say, Java or J2EE developers. While most of them would have done Java development in the past (and may still do as part of the SOA solution), it's not the same. Essentially, Java != SOA and C# != SOA and XML != SOA
To me, SOA solution development requires a different mindset. The way services are architected (message formats, granularity, composability etc.) is different from a Java application. Simply exchanging SOAP messages doesn't make a service. One needs to learn and internalize difference between SOA and glorified client-server application. And we all know, that more learned you are, the more price you can command -- And rightfully so. The more specialized a skill becomes, the more the demand per person there is and the laws of supply and demand say, higher the price.
Of course, not everybody has to agree with that argument. What's your take? Is SOA consultant the ugly (read pricey) duckling of the pack? feel free to add a comment or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Incidentally, our story has a happy ending. We have the consultant working on the project now.
4 comments:
I think this entry along with the "Boutique SIs" entry go together. Early on in the introduction of a new technology/platform/product, there are a different set of skills that are needed. A different kind of consultant ... a different kind of SI. The industry pays a premium for different, unique, rare skills ... the window for this is limited though large right now. Once SOA concepts are well tuned into every college grad you'll find things come back to a mature market level. For now, all of us "ugly ducklings" can rejoice in our well timed set of skills.

To say Peter Chiarelli's finger-prints are all over the Edmonton Oilers roster is obvious.
When he got his first look at the Oilers' 23-man roster in his first year as general manager in 2015, he wasn't in love with the opening roster, with winger Jordan Eberle out with a bad shoulder.
Change is always good. But from then until now, this has been almost a house-cleaning.
Fifteen of the 23 healthy players and one on injured reserve are gone.
Here are the first four lines for that Oct. 5, 2015, game:.
- Taylor Hall-Connor McDavid-Anton Slepyshev.
- Benoit Pouliot-Ryan-Nugent-Hopkins-Teddy Purcell.
- Lauri Korpikoski-Anton Lander-Nail Yakupov.
- Rob Klinkhammer/Luke Gazdic-Mark Letestu-Matt Hendricks.
So, gone are: Hall, Pouliot, Purcell, Korpikoski, Lander, Yakupov, Klinkhammer, Gazdic and Hendricks. Nine of the 13 forwards. Leon Draisaitl was sent to Bakersfield that fall for six games, if you're wondering why he's not there.
The four remaining forwards from 2015: Letestu, McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins and Slepyshev.
Letestu had just signed a three-year contract as a free-agent.
"Considering we were a lottery team getting the first pick, you'd expect wholesale changes," he said. "Peter was the start of that and he's brought in his people.
"I don't envy Peter's position when you take over a team that needs house-cleaning. He probably wanted his type of people, a certain type of character player and I'm sure it took awhile to get that done.
"The first year he probably just evaluated things … but to be one of the four forwards left, that's awesome for me. It's even tougher now with the salary cap to make guys fit into a team."
Nugent-Hopkins feels the turnover is the price of doing business but it still stings.
"I'm the longest-standing Oiler right now, pretty crazy how fast it goes," he said. "You see guys come and go, and to put a number on it (changes) it is a little bit surprising."
"But we've taken good steps here. Tough part of the business to see guys go, but we made some good additions, some experienced guys to help us out."
Here's the rundown of who's gone where:
- Hall was traded to the New Jersey Devils for defenceman Adam Larsson.
- Eberle was traded to New York Islanders for Ryan Strome.
- Pouliot was bought out this year. He subsequently signed in Buffalo and is starting the season as one of their top nine forwards.Purcell was traded to Florida in the spring of 2016 for a third-round draft pick, played last year with the Los Angeles Kings and their AHL farm team, and attended the Boston Bruins' camp this year on a tryout. The Oilers took defenceman Matthew Cairns with the pick they acquired for Purcell. He's playing at Cornell University.
- Korpikoski was bought out after the 2015-16 season, played last year in Dallas and Columbus, and is now looking for work.
- Lander's contract ran out. He's scored 11 points in 14 games for AK Bars Kazan in KHL.
- Yakupov was traded to the St. Louis Blues for a third-round pick a year ago and is now with the Colorado Avalanche after signing with them as a free-agent. The Oilers took local goalie Stuart Skinner (WHL Lethbridge) with the pick they got back from the Blues.
- Klinkhammer's contract ran out. He is playing with Lander at AK Bars Kazan.
- Gazdic's contract ran out last year. He signed with the Devils last year and is now with the Calgary Flames.
- Hendricks's contract ran out last season. He signed with the Winnipeg Jets this summer.
Here are the first eight defencemen the Oilers kept in October 2015
- Andrej Sekera-Mark Fayne
- Oscar Klefbom-Justin Schultz
- Eric Gryba-Andrew Ference
- Griffin Reinhart-Brandon Davidson
Here's who's gone from the back-end:
- Fayne, who is in the last year of a four-year contract, played more games in Bakersfield than Edmonton last season and didn't make this year's team.
- Schultz was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in February 2016 for a third-round draft pick. He has won two Stanley Cups with the Penguins and is now making US$5.5-million a season as a second-pairing defenceman. The Oilers took defenceman Filip Berglund with the pick they acquired for Schultz.
- Ference missed all of last season, the fourth year of his contract, after hip surgery. He has retired and is working for Sportsnet.
- Reinhart was picked by the Vegas Golden Knights in June's expansion draft.
- Davidson was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in February for David Desharnais. Davidson is on the Habs' roster, while Desharnais signed with the New York Rangers, where he is the fourth-line centre.
- Sekera is out until at least December with torn knee ligaments.
So only Klefbom, Gryba and the injured Sekera remain.
They got back no one on their current roster from all those defence moves.
Goal: Cam Talbot, Anders Nilsson.
- Nilsson was traded to the Blues for a fifth-round draft pick, played in Buffalo last year, and is now in Vancouver as backup to Jacob Markstrom. The Oilers took forward Graham McPhee with that pick. He attends Boston College.
New players since October 2015:
Forward: Ryan Strome, Leon Draisaitl, Patrick Maroon, Ryan Strome, Milan Lucic, Drake Caggiula, Jussi Jokinen, Zack Kassian, Iiro Pakarinen, Kailer Yamamoto.
Defence: Adam Larsson, Darnell Nurse, Kris Russell, Matt Benning, Yohann Auvitu.
Goal: Laurent Brossoit.
So 15 players gone, and only Larsson and Strome to show for it.

Integrate the 4 As of Marketing into Your Planning
We've all heard of the 4 Ps of Marketing – the guiding tenets of Product, Place, Pricing and Promotions – to help guide marketing efforts. To help guide your 'Promotions,' there are the 4 A's of Marketing. In chronological order, they are:
- Awareness
- Attitude
- Action
- Action2
Awareness: "If you build it, he will come" only works in Kevin Costner movies. In the real world, if prospective clients don't know about your firm, how can they buy from you? In their classic book, Positioning, well-known consultants, Al Ries and Jack Trout, submit that marketing is not a fight for 'market share,' but rather a battle for 'mind share.' That is, when a prospective client has a need for a certain product or service, you want it to be your product or service that they think of first.
To achieve this, you must build into your marketing plan those initiatives that continually raise the level of awareness of your firm in the minds of your prospective clients. Consider those marketing tactics that deliver multiple impressions over time. It will take a while for your message to sink in… so be patient and be persistent.
Importantly, as you deliver your message through different outlets (e.g. website, social, ads, blog, email, sales team, etc.), be sure that the messages are consistent in their look, feel and content. This practice, known as 'Integrated Marketing,' helps a prospective client recognize that all of the marketing messages are from the same organization. Your messages are additive – each one building on the one before in helping you to get to that top-of-mind position with your prospects. Change the look and feel of the message from one medium to the next… and it's as though you're starting over.
Finally, when you do get to that top-of-mind position – i.e., when your prospects do think of you first – don't stop your awareness building efforts. You need to maintain them for two reasons:
- The minute you stop, count on a competitor to step in and displace you with an awareness-building campaign of their own.
- There are always new, prospective clients coming into receiving range of your message – make sure there's something out there for them to receive.
Attitude: Over time, as the awareness of your firm grows in the minds of prospective clients, they begin to form an opinion of you – good, bad or otherwise.
Through a combination of repeatedly hearing your marketing messages, the content of those messages and the history of your work with clients, a perception is developed. Why is that important? Answer… because the client's perception is the seller's reality! Remember that rule!
Here's an everyday example of how this works… Think for a minute about car companies… how many can you name? Probably a dozen or more – pretty easily. They all do a good job of building awareness for their companies and products.
Now, think about each company individually. What is your perception of them? What do you think of their cars? Are they known for the quality of their cars, high-end luxury, exciting design, great customer service or affordable vehicles? What about the buying experience at one of their dealerships? What we're talking about here is your attitude toward these companies and their products.
Now ask yourself… what are you doing to influence the attitude of prospective clients toward your firm and its services? Look at this list for some ideas:
- Demonstrate expertise – speak at conferences, write articles, create white papers for your website, author a blog, initiate online discussions
- Do great work and deliver great service (in fact, build a reputation for doing it)
- Stress benefits (not just features or facts) in your marketing message (hint: almost nobody does this!)
- Get press coverage – people still believe what they read in the trade publications and what is reported on in websites and blogs
- Put together "proof sources," including:
- Client testimonials
- A list of references
- Results of surveys of satisfied clients
Action: That is, you want a prospective client to actually buy from you. What's in your marketing & sales plan to make this happen?
First of all… keep working at your awareness builders and attitude drivers. As you continue to do these things over a period of time, and layer on top of that a well-managed sales effort (yes, some selling IS required), you will influence purchasing decisions.
There are also a few items you might think about to help move the sale along, including:
- When you deliver a sales presentation, make it awesome! No reading from text-heavy PowerPoint presentations… instead, engage your audience!
- Putting together proposals? Same thing – make them outstanding. Ditto for your sales collateral.
- Selling skills: are the people responsible for lead follow-up, lead nurturing, networking and presentations the best they can be?
- Make doing business with your firm as easy as possible… in person, of course, but don't forget about on the phone or on your website.
- Take a look at your pricing: are you providing good value for a fair price? Is your pricing flexible to support client needs? Are you willing to give a discount to a first-time client?
Action2: OK… a prospect finally does their first project with you. Great news! Right? Maybe… maybe not.
I submit that a first-time client isn't really a client at all. They're a "try-er," not a "buy-er." Just because a prospect does one project with you, doesn't mean that they're a "client for life" (the ultimate goal). You not only have to get them to do that first project, you have to build into your marketing plan a way to keep them coming back for more. And that's what Action2 is all about.
What are you doing to build loyalty with your clients? What are you doing to encourage them to come back to you on a regular basis? In the consumer world, it's easy… with things like coupons, frequent buyer cards, etc. In market research, it's a little more difficult. Consider the following:
- Be consistent and helpful with your social media, including your blog, Facebook and Twitter
- Check your work – is it really the best that it can be?
- If a client makes a suggestion for improving your services, acknowledge their comment and thank them. And if they're right (which they often are), make the change and thank them again.
- Do you have the best project staff you can afford? Are they empowered to make decisions and be responsive to your clients?
- What about the little [non-marketing] things? Are you invoices easy to understand? Is the person answering the phone friendly and helpful? When visiting your offices, are your clients impressed (or, at least, not un-impressed) with your facilities?
- Do you genuinely thank your clients for their business – with phone calls, thank you notes and gifts?
- Entertain clients a little… after all, you are trying to build relationships.
- Under-promise and over-deliver at every opportunity.
- Most of all, create a memorable buying experience for your clients.
- Call a handful of clients each month and ask them, "How are we doing?" Asking them not only solicits good information, but also engages them in your firm and helps them to feel 'connected.'
Bottom line: Understanding the 4 As of Marketing is critical as you put in place initiatives to move prospective clients through the buying continuum, ultimately resulting in a loyal, long-term client. Keep this in mind as your craft your marketing & sales plan.

The Ashker decision was great, the five core demands are all good, but how come we are not writing our own regulations and attacking the "STG" scheme in totality? We know from its inception it was designed to isolate and entrap prisoners with the God given talent to awaken the prisoner class to the exploits of the system and provide those willing to organize for change with practical alternatives to prison enslavement.
June 7, 2010
Black and Brown communities are terrorized by police on a daily basis on a physical and emotional level. We are all too familiar with the physical terrorism: bodies being slammed on pavement with knees penetrating necks, batons beating against skulls mimicking a life-size piñata that spills blood instead of candy and, last but not least, the iconic image of a body riddled by a volley of bullets.

This week I revisit my 2013 conversation with Episcopal Priest Carl Russell about the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of his family's priest. Carl talks about the way that the priest gradually built trust with his parents and used that trust to gain access. He tells the extraordinary story of how he began to heal after hearing a radio story about sexual abuse in the Boston Archdiocese. You'll hear how, at 72 years old, Carl was finally able to see justice when he pressed charges, and broke the silence that had plagued him all his life.
The Experience of Schizophrenia
This week we revisit a conversation from 2011 with Elyn Saks, a law professor and MacArthur fellow who lives with schizophrenia. We discuss how she came to the difficult understanding that she had the illness and needed treatment, and how she was able to achieve personal and professional success, contrary to our popular notions of life with psychosis.
Shame and Humiliation in Medicine
We begin a new season of the show with some of the best episodes from the early days of Safe Space Radio. We'll be updating them with new commentary, bonus segments and occasional follow-up conversations. Today we revisit my 2010 interview with psychiatrist Aaron Lazare about the impact of shame and humiliation, and how to repair the damage they cause. Then, a new conversation with a current medical student about how shame can complicate the relationship between doctors and patients, and what can be done to reduce it.
Military Sexual Trauma and the VA
This week I talk with Kathy Russin, the Military Sexual Trauma Program Coordinator for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Maine. She talks about the prevalence of Military Sexual Trauma among veterans, and explains that it is not limited to rape, and affects both men and women. She explains how MST is different from combat PTSD in its impact, and talks about the many ways it can make leading a normal life very difficult.
Talking about Depression at Work
On this week's show I talk with Lisa, who shares two dramatically different stories of telling co-workers about her depression. Her experiences highlight the contrast between a work culture that is supportive and one that stigmatizes, and all the consequences that has for the employee.

The Pathetic Thai Opposition
7 comments:
It is laughable to see our Opposition being sued till bankrupt...and 7 Opposition MPs dare not stand up to tell the truth...
Ha ha...what a joke..
- December 26, 2013 at 7:45 PM
- Ghost said...
At least there are now 9 opposition MPs, Gerald Giam and Yee Jenn Jong are NCMPs, now in Parliment. A few years ago, there are none. The WP didn't complain or whine but worked the ground. They now got the results. The Thai opposition need to learn something from our opposition.
- December 26, 2013 at 8:08 PM
With one JBJ / CST...we can hear the voices of the people in Parliament...and now 9 Opposition MPs...we are not hearing anything..except praises for the government...What results have they got..
If only we have the guts of the JBJ..to "wake up from their slumber."
- December 26, 2013 at 11:30 PM
correction .."we"..."they"..or should it be the 60 percent voters...
- December 26, 2013 at 11:31 PM
- Ghost said...
61% of Singapore voted for the PAP so they form the government. If you're not happy about that, join an opposition party and help them out for the next GE. You try your best to win, you DO NOT try stop the election. Something the Thai opposition is trying to do. So yes, they's a bunch of pathetic crybabies!
- December 27, 2013 at 10:10 PM
Right, we also have a pathetic law makers...who are "inside" the polling booth...but not within "the polling booth."
Even our Opposition MPs agreed with this ruling, and of course the existence of a "non-controlled" ballot box...
Tell me, who to win the election, unless you are part of the WHITE / BLUE Team.
- December 31, 2013 at 10:37 AM
- Ghost said...
So you're saying the PAP need to cheat in order to win an election in Singapore? If you really think that, you need some serious help.
The PAP don't need to cheat because they won and won big. You seriously think the PAP is worried about the 9 opposition MPs when they have over 50? You think they are really worried about the 40% voting for the opposition when 60% voted for them? The whole of the opposition can't even get 50% of the votes!
Like I said earlier, if you really think the PAP are shaking in their boots because of the election results, you need help.
