Rink Wrap: Burke needs to land a big one
The honeymoon is over for Maple Leafs president and GM Brian Burke.
While his decision to fire Ron Wilson as coach and replace him with Randy Carlyle was viewed as a good move in NHL circles, the most important summer of Burke's career at the helm of the Leafs certainly lies ahead.
Not making the playoffs is a major disappointment and Burke has failed to address the club's two biggest needs: Landing a franchise forward and a top-flight goaltender. If that doesn't change, it'll be more of the same for the Leafs.
Since there aren't any franchise players available on the unrestricted free-agent market, Burke is either going to have to get back in the sweepstakes for Columbus' Rick Nash or find a way to pry Ryan Getzlaf out of Anaheim.
Once that area has been dealt with, the Leafs need a goalie. Jonas Gustavsson will likely walk as a UFA, which means the Leafs should target Canucks backup Cory Schneider, who is expected to be moved in the off-season.
The problem is, Burke isn't going to be the only one trying to land a netminder. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman will be aggressive and if Scott Howson is still GM in Columbus, then he's going to looking for a goalie as well.

It sounds like the word haha.Yeah I still can't for the life of me figure out how Tambellini has a job. And how Edmonton fans think he is so great. He's done absolutely nothing. Outside of the Penner trade, he can claim nothing. He can't even claim drafting, since you know thats the head scouts job lol.Yeah no kidding. Honestly, I respect the Penguins mad (and I more mean Shero since I was like 2 when Mario and Co won the cup the first time). Yeah sure they got some help with the draft but Shero is a shrewd motherf'er. He's definitely not give enough credit for what he does.
Eh I still have faith in Kadri. He's to damn talented to not be an impact player. We just need patience. That year will work out fine.And I can sort of get the issue with people calling the Pens tankers for back then. I mean, they did get investigated by the league for it, so people might be a little suspect of it.But yeah I'm with you. Lose but learn to play under Caryle. Get a top pick and go into next year strong. Kessel seems to be playing fine. He's like the only offensive player we have that's consistently playing.

Considering Howson made it public after the deadline that it was Nash that asked for the trade and Toronto pick would be top five compared to NYR being bottom five, I don't think they laugh.Who knew it would be a Canadians fan that trashed it…oh yes, I already called it.lol
I don't mind trading Liles if we get something back we need more. To get Nash, I would move Schenn and Gunnar. Nash could be our next Sundin which we desperately need…Big, strong, talented and a leader.
Liles is here to teach Gardiner. Gardiner has been great but it would be a mistake to think he isn't done learning. No harm in having him learn from a guy like Liles and push himself to be better. We have a big need for the veteran leadership he brings anyways.And I know I'm going to be the lone voice here with Kadri, but I think its going to be a mistake trading him. He's improved every time he's come up to the Leafs and trading him because he's "to small to truly help the Leafs" is an idiotic reason (sorry, I can't say it any other way).You can't base a team solely on size. I know, I know, we get pushed around a lot. Yeah we do, and size is something we need but to toss aside enormous skill and talent simply because he's arbitrarily too small? Ludicrous.I just can't justify trading him away because of that. That said, if we can trade him for a wing upgrade like Nash, then sure. But I'm sure as hell not trading him based solely on his size (which I might add, isn't exactly smurf size. He's not Tyler Ennis, in fact he's the same height as Frattin…).And Ashton isn't NHL ready yet. He needs more time. I'd prefer to let him learn the scoring side of his game in the AHL on the top line then let him play third line NHL minutes.Personally I'd like to Lupul and Kessel stay together. The chemistry is way to potent to break up. I also don't think Nash is a viable option. That price is retarded (the one Howson wants, not yours). I'd rather grab Brown or Clowe (he might be available if San Jose shits the bed and misses the playoffs). They will be undoubtedly cheaper too.Shift Kulemin to the third line. I think he's best suited for that now. An elite third liner who can score. Makes us really deep. Place Kadri with Grabo, and get Brown/Clowe on that line to open things up. Frattin, Kulemin and someone suited to a third line center role between them. Lupul/Kessel with a center (hopefully not Bozak lol). Three lines that have skill, size and grit on them. Three lines that can score. Then have the epic Brown/Steckel/Armstrong fourth line with Rosehill being the 13th man.
I might question the leadership part. He's never really come across as a great leader to me. But I could be wrong.
no i'm not trashig it i'm just saying the blue jackets are asking the moon for nash,and they should he's a franchise player those guys don't grow on trees yeah i know the leafs pick will be a top 5 but the package you offered in your post isn't enough most teams would and could out bid that offer and will ! if howson was there alone and didn't have craig patrick their advising him maybe ,but with patrick their not a chance will they take that1 your package from the leafs will include gardiner,colbourne, bozak and your 1st that's what it'll take kadri is garbage and the leafs will have a hard time dealing him for anything of substance so he'll be a none starter for columbus
That is way too much for Nash. Boston received a 2nd, 9th and 32nd overall picks for Kessel and we are giving a former 5th, 7th and a potential 5th-10th for Nash!! plus Gunnarsson and MacArthur. Who's to say Nash is better than Kessel, they are two completely different forwards. Kessel may not have the size and physical presence that Nash has, but Nash does not have the speed and scoring touch that Kessel has. Never the less, the two would compliment each other very well on the top line. I do not believe the leafs will get him because Columbus may be looking for at least a goaltender to be coming back and we do not have any interesting ones to offer.If we acquire Nash then I guess we trade Lupul or demote him to the second line, which may not be too bad if you got Lupul-Grabo-Kulemin. And if we acquire Nash then we pretty much (like you stated) force Colborne into the no.1 centre roll because none are available as a UFA and we may not have any more assets to acquire one after the Nash trade.I know must of us would like to sign Harding this off-season(myself included) but I am know convinced that Lindback should be our no.1 priority.
Leafs just signed Brad Ross to an entry level contract. He is tearing it up in the WHL, and is exactly what we need right now, just kinda sucks that he may not be ready for a season or two. But no question that he will challenge Ashton for a roster spot next season as both players are pretty similar, bur more than likely Ashton makes the team and Ross spends one full season in the AHL before making the leafs.Now that he is signed, I guess he can now play with the marlies which is a very similar situation to Frattin and Gardiner last season. I would even call up Ross to play for the leafs for the rest of the season just to get some experience and than play in the playoffs for the marlies which would be a huge addition to their team. But have the leafs used all of their call ups now??? but even if Ross can't play with the leafs, playing with the marlies under Eakins will help him quite a bit, and helps the marlies towards the cup.
I agree on Ashton, As I amended below my original post, I meant Frattin in that spot.
Liles is fine, but I have no problem moving him for a more needed piece. I would disagree that Liles is here to teach Gardiner, since we acquired him before anyone new Gardiner was even going to make the team. Liles is here to be a veteran puck mover, but has some defensive liabilities, so I doubt he is here to teach Gardiner and I haven't heard much about Liles as a leader.
As for Kadri, I watched him play live only a couple of weeks ago…he is small, and thin. He is also lazy without the puck. Yes, there is some offensive talent, but I did not see a guy who really even stood out in the AHL, nevermind the NHL.
I don't see how it is idiotic to say he is too small to help the Leafs. We have tried small and fast…It doesn't work!!! Especially in the big, tough Eastern Conference. It would be "idiotic" to keep trying to do the same thing over and over again (small with finese and speed) and expect different results. (No offense, just doesn't make sense to build around the same type of players when it's proven not to work…look at Buffalo)
Plus, I never suggested we base the team soley on size, so I don't know where you get that opinion from, otherwise I would have said that Kessel, Grabo, Brown, Gardiner, Bozak would also be available. I am suggesting we need a better mix.
I am also not suggesting that the Nash trade would be the only move, there may be more needed, but if we want to compete against Boston, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, NYR, Philly etc. we need to be bigger and stronger. It's as simple as that and Nash would bring size and skill to our top 3. Do we likely land him? No, but we need him nonetheless, way more than a Kadri or Semin etc.
The thing is, CBJ/Nash situation is not the same as prior to the deadline. If Nash decides to hold out and demand a trade, which could easily happen…they will wish they took NYR's deadline offer. What I suggested, could be the best they could possibly hope for, which I believe is fair either way.
You hit dead-on why I would like to see Kessel and Nash together…two totally different skill sets that should work well together. I understand "the giving up" what looks like alot, but remember Nash is more proven than Kessel was at the time of Kessel's trade. Also, we would need to move salary to bring in Nash.
I'm not sold on Lindback. Harding has been my choice for over a year and still is. He is used to playing 30 games a season already, where Lindback has barely played that in 2 seasons…I think we need more experience than that. IMO. Harding is hungry for a fair opportunity to be a number and Toronto could give him that.
Gotcha. Didn't see that. And I still think it helps to have a veteran presence for the puck movers. Not a big deal. if we trade him I won't lambast the deal.And differing opinions. I am by no means saying going completely small. I also don't want completely big. I think we need a mix. Small skill only works with big forwards. I don't think Kadri will help by himself. He needs to be place on a line with a big bodied player to protect him. Similar to the way Desharnais is playing so well in Montreal, its because he has big players protecting him. It can work.
He's not hungry enough. He's had plenty of opportunity to supplant Backstrom in Minnesota and every time he gets a shot, he vastly disappoints. He won't fix our goalie issues.
Im pretty sure the Leafs dont have any callups left. They played Franson at forward one night afterall haha.
But ya that would be cool if they could call up both Ross and McKegg to play for the Marlies in the Calder Cup!
Im actually looking forward to the Marlies post season and Im trying to get tickets lol. Kadri, Colborne, Frattin, Gardiner, Ashton, Ross, McKegg, Crabb, Blacker, Holzer, Scrivens, Mueller, Deschamps ect!! Not to mention vets Zigomanis, Hamilton, Dupuis…this could be the year? It just seems like a deep roster for a AHL team!
Clearly the trade winds will be blowing this upcoming summer for Burke and the Leafs. I really think Nash will be too expensive so going after other more affordable talent would be the best idea.
Im not sure what Burke's opinion vs the public's opinion is in regards to Phil Kessel. But if he IS being offered Id like to see something like this.
To Pittsburgh: Phil Kessel
To Toronto: Jordan Staal, 1st rounder
Yes I know Pittsburgh probably doesnt need any help..since you dont fix what aint broke.. But I still think it would be an awesome fit. Kessel playing along either Crosby or Malkin = 50 goal season…Just look at what Gino did with James Neal! Toronto gets a much needed large 1st/2nd line center.
Next I would dangle one of our defencemen. One of Schenn, Franson or Gunnarson in the hopes of getting JVR, Clowe or Brown. Not all those deals would be strait up but something along those lines. Also try and give away Lombardi and Connolly to anyone for anything lol.
Next you sign Zach Parise and IF POSSIBLE bury Komiserak to sign Ryan Suter (unlikely). Team could look like this…
Lupul, Staal, Parise
MacArthur, Grabovski, JVR/Brown/Clowe
Kulemin, Bozak, Frattin
Brown, Steckel, Moen
Phaneuf, Suter
Gardiner, Schenn/Gunnar/Franson
Liles, Schenn/Gunnar/Franson
Goalie?? I dono but GET ONE!! Reimer/Monster experiment failed…
I think with the right pieces and some quality goaltending that this team could make some noise! All these trades are hypethetical tho as I highly doubt Staal is available…and it would take quite a bit of clever accounting to get rid of Komiserak, Connolly and Lombardi…
But hey, thats best case scenario, I wont get my hopes up!
You forgot to tell Burke to draft well….lol…but I hear you, I think Staal is more avail then people think, though most are gonna say they wouldn't swap him for kessel straight up…lol…haters. I truly feel this could be Burkes last chance to save his job. He has stocked the pool with upcoming talent well, but our UFA signings have hurt us. There have also been some dandy trades, but new ownership is not going to wanna see a 3/4 empty building before the game is over@!!!!!!
People in general are just anti Leaf. Somehow a 4-time 20 goal scorer's (potential 30) value will exceed a 4-time 30 goal scorer (potential 40). Makes no sense but haters will hate my friend.
And Id say the problem with the recent UFA periods is just that there isnt enough available talent therefor teams are obviously overpaying for the few that make it to UFA. Burke being stubborn refuses and we dont get anyone worthy.
Obviously Connolly was a mistake..but what other choice did he really have u know lol. At least hes adept at ripping people off in trades!
fair enough but whoever gets nash will pay a huge price more than they are probably willing to give up,however it wouldn't surprise me to see howson get fleeced!
I agree on a good mix…that was my whole point.lolJust to be clear, I am not suggesting we move all the guys on the "available" list, just that they could be available to acquire a more needed piece.
If we were talking about an average goalie to supplant I would agree, but we are talking about backstrom here…who could supplant him? I. Am looking for a good solid goalie to help Reimer, but has the potential of being a number 1. I am not giving up on Reimer just yet, but as I felt we needed going into this year, we need a veteran to help that can carry the load if needed.
He's gone through injuries, he's gone through bad years. Harding had plenty of chances. I'm not willing to give him one on the Leafs. I'd rather fix it with an actual starter, one that has played like that before. Harding is not that. Harding is not that veteran in my opinion.
Fair enough. Different opinions is what makes this site work:)
I would do Kessel/Staal straight up, but I wouldn't add our first to get it done. Nothing against Kessel, but Staal fills a greater need right now, which is size with skill in the top 6.
Say Kessel/Staal happened (hockey Lover will chime in for sure.LOL) I still like the idea of getting D.Brown if the price was right. How about Gunarsson and Ashton for Brown. Add a Moen/Laggenbrunner to the third line.
It's not that hard to get Lombardi and Connolly off the books if Burke is willing to bury them in the minors for 1 year…but unfortunately, I doubt he will. I believe Finger comes off the books at the end of this year as well. If Burke buried Lombo and Connolly, move Bozak and promote Colborne, we would likely have cap room left over for whatever else…
Kulimen Staal D.Brown
Lupul Grabovski MacArthur
(Moen?Armstrong)Colborne Frattin
M.Brown Steckel Rosehill
3 Big centremen, grit and some speed/(skill,finese), it's not bad.
Can't wait for next year!LOL
I am a fan of Ashtons and called for us to aquire him before, so I for one am against trading a big young power forward with decent hands.
The problem with the deal is that … since Neal came into his own, Pittsburgh doesnt really need Kessel. They got Geno who is good for 40+, Sid who is good for 40+ and Neal who is good for 35+.
I break it down this way:
Kessel: elite goal scorer (35 – 40), PP dynomite, meh backchecker/defensive game
Staal: decent goal scorer (20 – 25), meh PP player, excellent backchecker/defensive game
So really, the difference of the 15 goals a year doesnt really give the Pens that much more. Staal obviously doesnt provide nearly the offense but his defensive game is way way better. Which, given the potent offense the pens already have, is more important. So I see the deal as fair, it just doesnt make that much sense for the Pens. What the Pens needs are some cheaper options on D. Martin is NOT playing up to his contract (much like Komisarek). Thats $5mil that can be used elsewhere. We need to dump him and bring in one of the younger guys on an entry level, saving us $4mil. With the cap likely to go up about $2mil, that'll give us $6mil extra to resign guys or whatever.
Hey DA, I like Ashton, don't get me wrong and totally understand the caution of moving him, or a Colborne(for some), or Kadri (for others) . I like Ashton, Colborne, Frattin and the offensive up-side of Kadri as potential forwards.
Problem I see, is that none of these guys are tearing it up in the pro's(AHL or NHL) in a way that makes me think we have top3 potential or maybe even top6 guys in our young depth pool. Colborne seems to be the closest to top 6 but I doubt he's legitimate top 3.
We need more top 6 talent with size IMO and typically (obvious exceptions) if a player is a legitimate top 6 guy, he has shown it by the time he is 21 years old.
I just think at some point we have to stop saying we have all these good "prospects" we aquired and be willing to part with one or more to get some proven available top 6 talent to compliment the finese style players we have.
Unfortunately, we don't have 2 or 3 top 5 picks to build a team around like Pitt, Edmonton, NYI or Chicago etc, or else I would be all for letting it develop more.
I get the "be patient with our young prospects" because they have some raw skills and I'm all for it, but if it means be patient so we can develop him into a great third liner…how do we ever improve the top 6? I think at some point, as we did to acquire Kessel, we need to consider moving some assets to get some much needed help.
Your way, way off base on Kadri. Way off base. And your idea that he has typically shown in by the time he is 21, is actually wrong…
to me the AHL is nothing but a beer league. I prefer the OHL over the AHL because the OHL is just like the NHL but a much younger version. AHL is a league that will lul you to sleep. Having said that, when young players are sent down to play in the AHL it's simply just to toughen you up. So players like Colborne, Frattin, Ashton, Kadri and D'Amigo not tearing it up isn't a bad thing.Tearing it up in the CHL or NCAA is good but it will not physically prepare you for the NHL. As young players get older they slowly develop the size and toughness needed to play in the NHL, that is why some players go from the CHL and NCAA straight into the NHL, much like Frattin did. if they are developing size and toughness slower than most average players than they are sent to the AHL that will ease them into the preparation for NHL toughness.The AHL only consists of 2 types of players.1. Players that will never make the NHL and/or bounce back and fourth from the AHL and playing on an NHL 4th line.2. Young prospects just looking to add some toughness to help them adapt into the NHL.
If I'm wrong, then show me, prove it. I've researched it.
Typically a player who is top six talent(especially impact players like we need or as you suggest Kadri is) are either in the NHL or are top players in the minors by the time he is 21. I'm not talking about third or fourth liners, I'm talking about quality first and second liners. There is exceptions…St. Louis for instance. The majority are not lingering back and fourth between the show and the minors.
Look at all the top young guys right now. How am I "actually wrong"?
As far as Kadri goes, how can you say I'm way off base? He's done nothing so far. Only time will tell if I'm way off base…time may also show I'm dead-on. I admire your "Kadri Love-fest" but man, go watch him play live where you see what the cameras don't and also see how small compared to other guys he really is. He has always been rumoured to be a little lazy with an attitude problem…and that's what I saw.

Tiffany Cromwell Powers to Second in PlouaySun 26 Aug 2012
Tiffany Cromwell finished a strong second at GP Plouay after instigating the race winning breakaway. The Australian has shown consistently strong form during the second half of the season, adding her first World Cup podium to a Giro Donne stage win and a top ten at the Vargarda World Cup.
"Today was a really big team effort, and it was my turn to fly the flag," said Cromwell after the podium presentation. "I'm happy to do the job and deliver the result."
The first two of five laps of the Plouay World Cup circuit contained the usual aggressive attacks, but without any major moves or splits dominating the early action.
"The start was fairly calm," noted Cromwell. "There were a few attacks but nothing went anywhere. During the third lap, everyone on the team took their turn going up the road. On the third lap, we split into a front group of about 30 riders. We had four of us in the move – Judith [Arndt], Claudia [Häusler], Shara [Gillow] and me."
Gillow launched repeated small digs following the initial split to force other teams to chase.
"Shara took on an important role today," said Sports Director Dave McPartland. "She was really active for the team, and her work allowed Tiff and Judith to wait for the right move."
Cromwell didn't wait for the right move. Instead, she created it. On the penultimate lap, the second to last time up the deceptively difficult highway hill, the front group blew to pieces. Ten riders made the selection including Cromwell and Arndt. Shortly after the split, Cromwell attacked.
"When I found out Tiff had instigated the move herself, I was really pleased," said McPartland. "She attacked and [Elisa] Longo Borghini [Hitec Products – Mistral Home] followed. Once those two had established a gap, [Marianne] Vos [Stitching Rabo Women Cycling Team] bridged across to form that group of three. Vos drove the break, and Tiff didn't ride to start with because we still had Judith behind. I gave the Tiff the okay to start rolling through once the gap went up to two minutes."
Ten kilometers from the finish, the final race of the World Cup series had turned into a three-rider contest.
"Vos attacked us on the last climb, and I had nothing left," said Cromwell. "She rode away from us but never got too much of a gap. I attacked Elisa on a small rise at 1.5 kilometers and got a gap on her. I held it to the finish to comfortably finish second."
McPartland was full of praise for Cromwell.
"Second for us from Tiff today is huge," he said. "This is a really positive sign that we're going in the right direction. I'm absolutely thrilled for her. This result means almost much as any win we've gotten all season. She's been closing in on this all year. Most people don't realize that she nearly got on the podium at the Sweden World Cup last weekend. All they know is she ran seven out of seven, and they don't realize that she did a really special ride. Today is her reward for working hard all year."
"This certainly is big," admitted Cromwell. "It's on par with my Giro win. I've been trying to get a World Cup win for awhile, and Plouay has been one I've hoped for. A top five here would have been amazing. Standing on the podium is really special. I'm so happy to do this for the girls and be in a position to finish off the work they did."
Cromwell was not the only ORICA-AIS rider to stand on the podium in Plouay. With the eight race World Cup series finishing today, Arndt confirmed her second-place overall standing in the series.

"All the consultants at Horizon Teachers are very supportive and they were keen to help me throughout the process."
"My consultant kept calm and neutral in the process and fully transparent. I feel the agency cares about the teachers they employ. There is an unequivocal relationship."
I have been working with horizon for a while and they have been very professional and efficient. Paul has been my consultant and he has always been friendly and very supportive in helping me to find the type of role I am looking for. I look forward to continue working with them and would highly recommend this agency to anyone.
"I have received excellent support from Horizon Teachers!"
"I just want to thank you for the support and help during this extraordinary year. In my 2 and a half years in London, I worked with other consultants and agencies, but none of them even gets close to you. You were THE consultant and THE agency. I will make sure to recommend your services every time I can. Once again, thank you for everything."
Daryl at Horizon has been so supportive in my transistion back into teaching after nearly 2 years. He has been extremely helpful and patient explaining everything from opportunities through to how my pay works. He has also been extremely understanding when I have had to keep changing my availability and any restrictions on my travel or hours I can work. It alleviates any potential stress when it feels like someone will genuinely listen to what you are looking for. I have found all at Horizon polite and welcoming and I would recomend this agency for whatever area of teaching you are wishing to be in.
The best agency I've worked for. Friendly, efficient and supportive. At first when I wanted daily work, but not full weeks; that's exactly what they found (plus, I asked to be contacted by text - not a problem. When I said no to a role - not a problem. No arm twisting or annoying phone calls). When I wanted a longer term job, I was found my dream position. Everyone at Horizon has been fantastic and my main rep especially so - thanks Paul.
"I felt reassured that I had the advice of someone professional and helpful [...] friendly approachability, combined with sound understanding of requirements [...] I was also pleased that your support continued when I was working in the post you had found for me."
"I would like to thank you and the Horizon Teachers team for the great opportunity that you've offered me to have been working in London for the last 6 months. I really enjoyed working with your agency. You have been the best agency I've worked with in terms of the quality of schools, assignments and your approachable communication and professional relationship with me. You will definitely be the first agency to recommend to any colleagues who would like to work in London in the next school year."
"I find the overall quality outstanding and the personnel relationships supportive. I trust the team immensely and know that they always have the best for me and my career"
The staff at Horizon are all friendly and efficient, and always accommodate our often last minute needs. They have also taken the time to get to know how I work, and we have a lovely working relationship. The quality of candidates they have put forward for longer term bookings is of a very high standard. Horizon's SEN department in particular have been an invaluable source of excellent quality Teaching Assistants. In particular, they have provided us with exemplary TAs qualified in British Sign Language for our specialist Hearing Support Department. Horizon were the only agency who were able to assist us with these vacancies.
"We're very pleased with the member of staff currently placed with us. She has the enthusiasm and flexibility we look for in a TA. The agency worked hard to find us someone suitable and I appreciate the level of communication we have had since then."
"The reason I use Horizon is because they listen to what we need in the way of staff. They do not send us people who are not suitable and they deal with all the DBS and other paperwork really quickly".
"Stuart has excellent standards which is reflected in the calibre of candidates we receive. Even when other agencies struggle to source candidates Horizon are able to still meet our needs whatever the criteria."
"Can I just say how much I enjoy working with you - I have always found you so approachable and very helpful - it makes all the difference when running a school to work with people that are helpful and support you."
"It is a pleasure working with the Horizon team.
We have established a close relationship with the team and appreciate the time they make to come into school to discuss and find out what the school are looking for.
We receive a high standard of teachers and support staff and Horizon are very accommodating and will always do their very best to find the most suitable person for the school.
Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to continuing to work with Horizon."
"I have found Horizon Teachers to be an efficient organisation that have been quick to respond to my queries. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The TAs they have supplied have both been very professional and capable. It is good to see an organisation that is interested in the well-being of their staff and in the quality of service that they are providing."

Rylee & Cru is a children's clothing brand from the United States, founded by illustrator Kelli Murray in 2014. She drew her inspiration from her children, naming the brand after her first two children. Kelli has created a brand that brings together art and imagination, making clothes for the modern child.
Their AW18 collection is called Prairieland and Kelli having lived and grown up in California draws inspiration from the surrounding lands. She is taken back by the immense beauty of the habitat and the journey folks in the past have endured in their search for a better life for their families. This collection is a tribute to the great journeys across the prairies of her country that many made.

"In Secret," the latest adaptation of Émile Zola's "Thérèse Raquin," opens with a dip in the water and quickly comes ashore with furiously galloping horses and sweeping camera movements. The galloping suggests urgency; the camera movements imply narrative grandeur, or maybe directorial ambition. The darkly muted colors, evoking gathering storms and winter chill, add a brooding note. The river that runs alongside the road like a parallel boulevard will probably mean something only to those who have read Zola's book, a classic of literary naturalism, which was published in 1867 and greeted by one appalled critic as "a pool of mud and blood."
More than a century and numerous films noirs later, that criticism sounds more promising than damning, which creates some obvious difficulties for a contemporary filmmaker. Times and tastes have changed, along with social mores and moral codes. And while Zola's story of adultery, murder and madness was once a scandal — and a precursor to novels like "An American Tragedy" and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" — it now sounds as familiar as an episode of "Law & Order." Largely stripped of its shock, "Thérèse Raquin" can approach its initial power only if the telling of the tale convulses with the same lunatic intensity that consumes Zola's criminal lovers.
A theater and television veteran making his feature directing debut, Charlie Stratton opens "In Secret" in fairy tale style with the motherless Therese, a child of around 8, being deposited by her father at the country home of her widowed aunt, Madame Raquin (Jessica Lange). Madame lives alone with her pale, sickly son, Camille, who's around 10 and has either burrowed into the maternal bosom or been wedged there by his mother. Designating Therese as Camille's guardian angel, Madame has the children share a bed, a forced intimacy that takes on new significance when — in a single, jolting edit that leaps across time — Mr. Stratton cuts from the children lying side by side in bed to the two doing the same as adults (now played by Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Felton).
Mr. Stratton's moody visuals initially work for the claustrophobic setup, although there are early signs of trouble, as when Therese grinds her body into the earth while gawping at a bare-chested brute with a scythe. It's a promising, ever so slightly comic scene that's soon forgotten amid the rapid story developments. Therese and Camille marry and move to Paris with Madame, where they settle into a grim apartment off a gloomy passage. While Camille works as a clerk, Therese helps Madame run the shop below their apartment, the young woman's pale face fluttering in the dark. And then one day Camille brings home a colleague, Laurent (Oscar Isaac), and Therese begins to shudder, as does the camera. Thrashing bodies, racked angles and spasmodic edits soon follow.
It's pretty much downhill from there, for both the characters and the movie. Mr. Stratton sets a nice table: The film looks handsome (it was shot in Hungary and Serbia) and has its diversions, including four gargoyles who meet at Madame's for a weekly domino game. (This Daumier-worthy collection of caricatures is made up of Shirley Henderson, Matt Lucas, Mackenzie Crook and John Kavanagh.) Ms. Olsen widens her eyes and parts her lips prettily, but she's a wan, recessive presence and an increasingly problematic one as Therese and Laurent are engulfed by mud and blood. Ms. Olsen and the more persuasive Mr. Isaac may generate heat, but their performances and the filmmaking lack the frenzy that might explain how these two crazy kids turned into murderous fiends.
"In Secret" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Ye olde sex and violence.

Hello readers,
I hope you enjoyed my post last week on how to choose your bridal party, because today's post is all about bridesmaids, including tips on how to choose the right dress, colour coordination for the bridesmaids/groomsmen, latest dress styles, and some inspirational photos.
Fashion for bridesmaid dresses have changed throughout the years, usually the girls would wear the same colour and style dresses. However recently there are some new and exciting trends that brides have implemented into their wedding. First lets discuss the important tips and guidelines:
- Taking into consideration your wedding colour theme, the bridesmaids should be wearing one of those colours.
- Choose a colour that is flattering on all skin tones, you want your girls to look pretty.
- On most occasions, the groomsmen wear ties or waistcoats the same colour as the bridesmaid's dresses. You could also choose opposite colour contrasts. (i.e purple and pink, orange and cream)
- Be considerate of your bridesmaids feelings, take their opinion on the dresses. However don't forget that you have a vision of what you want on your wedding day, which you should incorporate into their dresses.
- Choose a style that is flattering on all body shapes. You want your girls to feel confident and comfortable.
- Consider having one set colour, with different style dresses, therefore each bridesmaid can choose the design she is happy with.
- Take into consideration the season in which you are getting married, this would determine the colours/style/ and fabric of the bridesmaids dresses.
Fit & Feel:
- Make sure your Bridesmaids are measured correctly, to avoid alterations & extra cost.
- Taking into account the season, make sure you choose the correct fabric.
- While dress shopping, try to book appointments with your bridesmaids, its good to see them try on different styles & colours.
Budget & Planning:
There is no actual rule as to who pays for the bridesmaid dresses, it is really up to the bride to decide. There are several ways to do this:
- Let each girl pay for her own dress.
- Contribute towards the dress.
- Purchase the dresses, and gift them to the bridesmaids
Personally, I decided to cover the cost of my bridesmaids dresses. Reasons being that my wedding will take place abroad. I consider and appreciate that they will endure the cost of travel.
Once you have decided on a dress, assign the maid of honour to arrange, and organise the ladies.
Latest trends for inspiration:
- Ombre – (Different shades from light to dark.)
- Same colour different styles
- Same style different colour
- Short & Long
- Colour contrasts (pastels)
- Glitter
- Cropped top and skirt
Below are some designs by Sorella Vita. Each dress can be customised to the colour of your choice.

Carrying rainbow flags, nearly 1,000 gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-genders and their supporters marched along a 1.5km stretch of downtown Taipei in the first gay pride parade in Taiwan yesterday afternoon.
Welcoming those who came to join them with cheers and hugs and shouting, "We are homosexuals! We love you!" to hundreds of spectators along the way, the joyful procession marched for 30 minutes from 228 Park (二二八和平公園), along Hengyang Road (衡陽路), to the Red Playhouse (紅樓) in Ximending.
"I certainly wish we could go on [and march] for three hours across the city, but this is already a good start," said Lee Ming-chao (李明照), director of Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline (台灣同志諮詢熱線), a major homosexual help group, which organized the parade. The word "tongzhi" means comrade and includes gays, lesbians, bisexuals and trans-genders.
Tokyo held its first lesbian and gay parade in 1994 and it has since been held sporadically. In South Korea, 600 marched around a park in Seoul, in June, for its first Lesbian and Gay Parade. Homosexuals in Thailand have the Bangkok Gay Pride Parade, which grows bigger every year and was said to be have attracted 200,000 marchers last year, according to city officials.
"Tokyo did it. Thailand did it. Since Taipei bills itself as an international metropolis, we can try it," Lee said.
As part of the Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights Movement, Taipei, (台北同玩節) an annual homosexual community fair organized by Hotline for the past four years, the gay pride parade is Hotline's latest effort to push the envelope for social acceptance of homosexuals.
"As previous events went down well with the public, this year we expanded it outside a fixed location, to test what is acceptable by the public," Lee said.
Taipei City Government has subsidized previous festivals and granted NT$720,000 this year, which, Lee said was not much, but enough for the rental of basic equipment and lunch boxes for volunteer workers.
"We would also like support from government officials, in the way the New York mayor attended the march [in New York]." said Lai Gang-yan (賴岡言), a volunteer worker at Hotline.
Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), appeared at the end of the parade for a motivational speech.
Both the starting and destination points have historical meaning for the gay community. As a decades-long clandestine meeting ground for homosexuals, 228 Park, previously called New Park, was the setting for Taiwanese novelist Kenneth Pai's (白先勇) 1990 gay classic Crystal Boys (孽子), which opens with the protagonist being thrown out of his home by his gun-brandishing father raging at his homosexuality. The parade ended in Ximending, at the Red Playhouse, because it used to be a popular gay hangout in the 1970s, when it was a rundown cinema.
Leading the way on the march were two black-suited young women holding hands, with their "brides" in tow, dressed in sequined red and white wedding gowns. They were followed by a motley bunch of military officers, chest-baring cowboys and a dolled-up young man in a flowery kimono. Trailing behind, a high-spirited man was holding up a boyfriend-wanted advertisement for his "gay" dog.
Staff from the homosexual specialist bookstore Gin Gin (晶晶書屋) showed up in Chinese opera costumes, starting a wave of shutters clicking. The most eye-pleasing group, the Waterboys, a group of homosexual beach enthusiasts, strutted and flexed their tanned biceps and big chests, dressed in just swimming trunks and glamorously plumed party masks. Some 20 marchers wore masks and dressed up as Shizuka, a main character in the well-known Doraemon cartoon series.

Ethical And Non Ethical Essay Cheats
Essay cheats have been in existence ever since the internet provided access to valuable information and even before that. Some find it easier to copy information off someone else's work and claim as their own. This is not only wrong but can be detected by using anti-plagiarism software. The purpose of referring to information and reading the works of others should motivate writers and students to write their own work. So what exactly amounts to cheating or giving into anti-plagiarism? To know this, we have to distinguish between ethical and non ethical essay cheats.
An ethical essay cheat is basically one who does not cheat at all. To understand better, let's consider a very important piece of information on the internet that deals with following directions offered to save lives. The information offered by a government website also states that the cure would be available for a short period of time and the information had to be shared with as many people as possible in the shortest possible time. Website owners, bloggers, magazines, and bulletins would publish the information prompting people to act and follow instructions. To convey the right information would be more important than trying to explain the message in one's own words. So the information is printed as it is. This is not giving into plagiarism, as the information needs to be shared in an emergency.
Non ethical essay cheats do not care whose material they use. Their only intention is to claim someone else's work as their own. For example, cheats would search the internet for content they can include in their blogs or website from any online source. They blatantly ignore regulations under the copyright act and copy-paste content into their own website or blog. This no longer works, as virtual real estate is a valuable commodity, and regulators prowl the internet looking for such offenders. Most search engines simply ban such online offenders from publishing their works. Their very online presence might vanish and all information lost.
Students have to be extra careful while referring to online sources for information about their project. They need to refer to authentic government websites that would offer them reliable information. Reference books in the school or college library might not be sufficient to provide content for their essay or coursework. The speed at which information can be downloaded from the internet provides a useful alternative to gather relevant information. Students must, however, not give into plagiarism and copy information as available. They need to draft their own essay using a unique style of their own.
This brings us to the presence of online content providers that offer non plagiarized content to students on any project. Providers like ParamountEssays.com have made a name for themselves offering students original and highly informative essays, dissertations and coursework. Unlike an essay cheat, a writer on their roll would have many years of experience and take great pride providing original work. Complex projects can be completed in very little time at very competitive prices. Students would be able to submit their projects without any tension and in time.

Whew! Another week has just flown by! Last weekend we went Cub Scout camping and then I spent the beginning part of the week cleaning up and recovering from all of that fun. Additionally, it's getting close to the start of the Houston Quilt Festival, so there are lots of things that need to be done to prepare for that (more below).
In case you're here for the free pattern, this week's beauty is a plus quilt from Katarina Roccella and Art Gallery Fabrics.
The pieces are nice and big and the space in between the plusses is a solid square, so the need to precisely match seams is fairly limited. The resultant quilt is a wonderful 74″ x 95″, so well worth making! They also have a diagram with a darker background option, which I greatly prefer.
I recently completed a sample plus quilt that used Zen Chic's new Fragile line and pattern… and something like 528 pieces! I much prefer this construction method and ultimate size, although I do love Zen Chic.
Back to the Houston Quilt Festival…. My pattern company – A + B Designs – has taken a booth and we will be there selling patterns and kits. We have an amazing space – booth # 1222, which is right in the middle of the middle, so I hope you will stop by! I haven't shared any of the patterns yet, because they were still in production and testing, but now I'm ready. The first quilt is called All My Xs and this one is a throw size (there is a much larger version as well). The kit is made with Andover chambray background fabric and Bonnie & Camille Good Life Charms.
It was a lot of fun to make and not too complicated so I hope that other people will enjoy making it too.
Here's the pattern for the Free Pattern Friday, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Chromium steel ball is a ball, which is in the original composition of the steel ball, add a certain amount of chromium, resulting in a ball, so, it will be called chromium steel ball. And, through the different content of chromium metal, it can be divided into high chromium steel balls, medium chromium steel balls and low chromium steel balls . So below, to introduce its specific types, so that we can have a preliminary understanding.
1.High-chrome steel ball
Chromium steel balls in the high-chromium steel, which in the process, the use of intermediate frequency electric furnace, metal molds, and after melting or sand casting made. Its chromium content, is not less than 10%, carbon content is in the range of 1.8% -3.2%. In addition, the hardness of this kind of steel ball, there is a certain requirement, it must be above 58 degrees. Therefore, heat treatment should be quenched.
High chrome steel ball, its application, mainly in the metallurgical mining, cement building materials, thermal power generation and chemical and other industries, in addition, can also be used in aerated concrete, magnetic materials, coal water slurry, quartz sand and slag, etc. Material.
High-chromium steel ball is based on the ball, adding an appropriate amount of chromium and manganese and other metal elements, and the use of non-water resin sand shape and oil quenching heat treatment of these processes, to get the finished product. And, in the product performance, is also very good.
2. medium chromium steel ball
How can I call it medium chromium steel ball? The answer is:medium chromium steel balls with a chromium content of 3% to 7% and a carbon content of 1.8% to 3.2% and a hardness above 47 are called medium chromium steel balls. The manufacturing process, should be high-temperature tempering, so you can eliminate casting stress.
Want to determine whether the chromium steel ball tempering after high temperature, is actually very simple, as long as the surface color can be seen. If the surface is dark red, then the description has been carried out; if it is still metallic, then there is no.
3. Low-chromium steel ball
Low-chromium steel ball mill ball mill is a very important body, therefore, can be called abrasive ball. In addition, it is one of the chrome steel balls. Its chromium content, is less than 3%, carbon content is 1.8% -3.2%, while in hardness, is to reach more than 45. If its hardness is less than 40, the product quality is not standard, can not be used. In addition, in the application, this kind of chromium steel ball, is also very extensive.

While everyone else was getting their dessert, the few of us at the table had a little conversation about appropriate utensils for such a combination. My brother-in-law wondered about the fork and stated he would have selected a spoon instead. I agreed, as did my mother-in-law. I said B would most likely prefer a fork and my brother-in-law said the same of his girlfriend.
When I went into the kitchen to get my dessert and reached into the drawer for a spoon, B announced there were forks on the counter, confirming my earlier statement.
Once we were all around the table, we started talking about the forks and spoons again. Finally, B says, "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!" and then Sophie pipes up with, "Use the forks, Luke!"
I nearly died laughing at her timing and response.

Cordel literature
Cordel literature (from the Portuguese term, literatura de cordel, literally "string literature") are popular and inexpensively printed booklets or pamphlets containing folk novels, poems and songs. They are produced and sold in street markets and by street vendors in Brazil, mainly in the Northeast. They are so named because they are hung from strings to display them to potential customers.
Cordel literature forms one of the least altered continuations of the Western traditions of popular literature, such as chapbooks, and popular prints. They come from the papel volante tradition of Portugal. This genre of literature was also found in Spain during the 18th and 19th centuries, and offered readers a wide array of topics, from basic instruction to political tracts.[citation needed]
According to the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade it is one of the purest manifestations of the inventive spirit, the sense of humor and the critical capacity of Brazilians from the interior and of the humblest backgrounds.[1]
Usually produced in black and white, in quarto format, cordel chapbooks are usually illustrated with woodcuts. Often both the author or poet's and the woodcut artist's names will appear in the credits of the book. Two expressive woodcutters are Adir Botelho and José Francisco Borges, whose woodcuts have been exhibited in the Louvre and the Smithsonian.
The cordel literature found its zenith in the decades of 1920s and 1930s, with the popular legend created by the cangaceiros of Lampião, a band of outlaws and bandolier bandits who terrorized the region for almost 20 years. The War of Canudos, a military conflict in the state of Bahia, 1896–1897, has been also a frequent theme of cordel literature, due to its epic dimensions and importance for the history of the Northeast backlands.
Cordel literature can still be found in the Northeastern Brazilian states, most notably in Pernambuco, Paraíba and Ceará.
Some of the main authors from the past are Leandro Gomes de Barros (1865–1918)[2] and João Martins de Athayde (1880–1959).
Today some Cordel Literature authors as Marcelo Soares, Davi Teixeira, Meca Moreco and Altair Leal are keeping this popular expression alive. They and others are helping to show to Brazil and the world the importance of popular art.
There are a lot of not-well-known cordel authors in Brazil, although there are still chapbooks that tell widely known old tales, even reinvented, in a new context. See as an example a masterpiece of the past decades: A Chegada de Lampião no Inferno (The Arrival of Lampião in Hell) by José Pacheco, as well as today's A Chegada de Lula no Inferno (The Arrival of Lula in Hell); besides "classics", living folk poetry say to us much both about cordel and its strong roots in the day-to-day life of the people and its place in the Brazilian Culture as a whole.

Update 2012-07-23 : Note that much of these instructions also work for SQL Server 2012 Evaluation Edition, many of which will start expiring soon…
Here we go 'round the uninstall bush…
Today I spun up a rather aging VM so that I could take some screen shots from the 2008 R2 version of Management Studio.
When I clicked on my shortcut, I received this error:
For searchability, here is the text (with an actual clickable link, imagine that):
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software please go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy
Of course what this meant was that, for this particular VM, I had installed an Enterprise Evaluation instance before the RTM bits for Developer Edition were available. And clearly this happened more than 180 days ago, and I forgot about it.
If you go the link (which ends up at http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/default.aspx), there isn't really any information about converting evaluation software to licensed software (even if I already have licensed bits in hand). In fact there is not really any information about Evaluation Edition at all, except for an offer to install a second trial instance on my machine. I'm trying to remove one, but thanks anyway.
So the first thing I do is to install a real, licensed version of SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition. I figure, if anything, it will at least give me a functional Management Studio again, even if I have an outdated Evaluation Edition engine lying around. Nope, I run through install, and when I try to launch Management Studio, my evaluation period has still expired. I plead to #sqlhelp on twitter, and I'm told I need to remove all of the 2008 R2 bits. This was the first time I'd had any reason to uninstall 2008 R2; at my previous job, we had only just migrated to 2008 in production late last year. I guess I should test cleanup more often.
Now, removing SQL Server 2008 R2 turns out to be a much bigger challenge than you might expect. Sure, you can go through the Control Panel and uninstall all of the components individually, but this is a hassle, and it still might not work very smoothly. To clear a path, I've been uninstalling applications that might be related (e.g. Visual Studio), and even applications with no hope in hell of being related: Office 2010, Flash, Windows Live "Essentials"… I even uninstalled an instance of SQL Server 2008 (not an eval), and when I tried to remove the setup support files, I received this warning:
Why on earth are the R2 Common Files dependent on SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files? And further to that, I'd like to know why, when I clicked No on this dialog, it seemed to remove the SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files anyway. It turns out there is some flag that removes the entry from the Programs and Features list, even if you don't go through with the uninstall. All was returned to normal when I closed the window and opened it again.
Anyway, let's see what happens when I try to remove R2 via the Control Panel. I right-click the item in the list (and as you can see, "the list" is pretty short – and never mind the blurred out entries, I'll talk more about those soon, and they aren't related to R2):
When I choose Uninstall/Change, I get this box, and I click Remove of course:
When I click Remove, I get the Setup Support Rules dialog (just like I do for a new installation), and then when I click OK, I get this lovely dialog (I trimmed it so I wouldn't have to shrink it, but you get the gist):
Why does this not seem like it will end well?
Because according to the dialog, nothing is going to be removed (usually you see actual features with checkboxes). I should not even be able to see a Next > button. But for fun, I'll click it anyway, since my only other option at this point is to Cancel. I click Next > a couple of times, then a big shiny Remove button, and then after several seconds I get another even more lovely dialog, indicating that the uninstall has crashed:
And again for searchability (typo and all):
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
No feature were uninstalled during the setup execution. The requested features may not be installed. Please review the summary.txt logs for further details.
Error code 0x84B30002.
At this point I've spent more time on this than I would have if I had just built a brand new VM and started over. But I was determined to see it through. So I finally gave in and decided to go the msiexec.exe /x route. I located all of the R2-related GUIDs in the following registry key:
Here is one example:
So I went through the entire list, and saved the following commands to a batch file:
rem DisplayName
msiexec /x "{guid}"
And I also added one that wasn't in the GUID list; there was a key under Uninstall called "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2" with the following properties:
Here is what my final .bat file looked like. You'll note that I put the Setup Support Files last. Also please note that your set of GUIDs may be different than mine… I'm just listing what I did as an example:
rem SQL Server 2008 R2 Common Files
msiexec /x "{234F6B0D-10AE-4BB7-B2F3-E48D4861952D}"
rem SQL Server 2008 R2 Common Files
msiexec /x "{36F70DEE-1EBF-4707-AFA2-E035EEAEBAA1}"
rem SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared
msiexec /x "{A2122A9C-A699-4365-ADF8-68FEAC125D61}"
rem Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
msiexec /x "{C0C690C8-F335-4BA4-A2AD-675EAD1DFA90}"
rem SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared
msiexec /x "{C942A025-A840-4BF2-8987-849C0DD44574}"
rem Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
msiexec /x "{20E42995-BBE9-4697-8394-FCDC4338706B}"
rem Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)
msiexec /x "{C3E48238-5FA0-4C82-9509-36D47E371A29}"
Running through these, I had several that returned a dialog about an unexpected error, but I ignored those and plowed through. When I was finished, I ran the batch file again, and every line item raised this dialog:
This is a good thing; it smells like I'm almost home. So – finally – I try to run SQL Server 2008 R2 setup again. To avoid some wasted time, I install only the Management Tools on my first run. Though, if I'm being honest, even installing just the client tools takes several minutes. Precious, Monday Night Football minutes.
And, believe it or not, we have success.
That was WAY too painful, and I'll never get that time back. Hopefully this post will prevent you from going down a similar rathole. My advice:
Recently I was helping someone who bought a netbook with preinstalled trial McAfee, which expired. The only thing that worked was to nuke and pave.
This wonderful feature works even when eval edition is upgraded before expiry.
Scenario was: Installed veal edition to test functionality. after 90 days uninstalled eval and installed the licensed standard edition. After another 90 days the database engine kept going but SSMS, SQL Agent and other components ceased functioning as they had "expired".
Oh dear oh dear. Thanks for highlighting this mess.
Just hit this one today as I had originally installed the tools from SQL 2008 Enterprise Evaluation but later upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 Developer Edition (engine and tools). Luckily the solution was quite straight forward after following Option 2 in this KB article:
Re-ran the edition upgrade for R2 and selected to only upgrade shared tools (SSMS, etc) and now I'm back and running again.
Thank god
Thanks a lot. What a nightmare.
Thanks so much for this info. I am in the bat file stage but things look promising. Like Dave said, what a nightmare. On the plus side I did learn quite a bit.
Thank you for sharing! It was wuch a nightmare!
OMG! i come later to this post! this issue was raises by the uninstallation of Denali for me… painfull and long work to resolve.
I go to publish this issue in spanish in my blog if you don't have any problem.
Hi Victor, of course I have no issue with you posting a translation to your blog.
Thanks a lot,
I also tried with Windows Installer Cleanup Utility which didn't help (the tool is retired anyway, but it helped a lot before)
veramente un grande aiuto. Thank you.
Thank you….10 hours fighting with the server. We won though!
If you can call it a win…
But yeah SQL is installed with no errors.
Had to do some CCleaner work though (since they retired Windows Installer Cleanup Utility…omg M$ admitting they did something wrong?!), and the WMI component seemed to be busted, had to rebuilt the repository.
haha did you read this one though? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971268
so funny…if i could uninstall it the right way you think I wouldnt M$? made me lol. just like the instructions on a peanut bag :" Open bag, eat".
Thanks man 🙂
Thank you… My whole day has been wasted trying to fix this issue. Took forever to uninstall everything, but it did work.
Thank you for this information – I was going crazy trying to get SQL 2008 R2 uninstalled!
Excellent article. Being a OSX and *nix admin, I'm constantly flustered by windows uninstall failures, and the mystery locations files get stuck in. Love it when I can write a script to clean up the MS mess 😉 Next time though, I'll mark my calendar before the 180 days expires!
Aaron! You rooock man!
You saved my day indeed. I have been hitting my head on ways to get rid of those SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared and the Common Files, but couldn't until saw your above blog…:)
Thanks a tonn!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks and regards,

Thanks Aaron..
It worked perfect, thanks for sharing this information.
Thanks a lot.
You saved me much frustration and time.
Re-installing the OS server was not an option, so your help was invaluable.
Thank you, Aaron.
That worked for me, after 24 hours of finding the answer, finally I've found it. Thanks a lot.
I have gone through this hell before, however I needed to uninstall again today. I had no problems uninstalling from Control Panel in Windows 7 – HOWEVER – I stopped IIS on my machine today (God knows why) and had NO problems whatsoever. Luck or the right thing to do, I have no idea !!
Thanks a lot.
Great job Aaron….
Finally done, after 24 hours of finding the answer.
Thank for the details instructions. This worked for me.
It could sound strange but for my surprise I went to Control Panel – Uninstall Prgrams – And choose SQL Server 2008 64bits – Change – Remove.
Here was the only place where I could find the instance installed to be able to remove it.
If facing the same please let me know
thank you so much. I THINK it has worked for me, still gotta wait and see lol
My experience was similar to yours: created a VM, installed the 2008 R2 evaluation edition, then decided to repurpose the VM for use in training. Uninstalled the eval edition (not!) and couldn't install 2008 R2.
Your solution worked perfectly and cleared all the evaluation detritus from the VM. Thank you for this helpful post.
Thanks a lot. It helped me to resolve the issue.
Thank you so much!
Really thank u !
Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you! Thank you! 🙂
I thought I was never going to get it to go away!
You saved my life, many thanks!
Thank you Aaron for sharing!!! I had the same pain, but with a happy end, because:
I went through fixes steps on http://www.sqlcoffee.com/Troubleshooting073.htm
Thank you, Alberto Morillo!!! SQLCoffee.com
Thank you very much! It works!
I love you and want to have your babies. Was going absolutely nuts on how to remove this horrid piece of software (or at least the installer is horrid).
Great, helped me a lot 🙂
THX from Copenhagen, Denmark….
Thank you so much!
Thank u man!
Thanks a lot – This article is of great help!
I was stuck in this nightmare after not even intending to install the eval version. had a production box that suddenly stops working and the bosses are yelling. If I hadn't found these (relatively simply) instructions i'd have been screwed. Thanks.
Thanks Aaron :)..I was facing same error…and i was trying to resovle this error from past 2 days…finally i read your articles…and it helped me a lot…issue got resolved and installed sql successfully….Thanks a lot again 🙂
Thanks Aaron, This was very frustrating to say the least. Your article helped me out tremendously.
Thank you Aaron. I wasted two days on this until I found your blog and followed your instructions. Viola!
Incredibly useful back door technique. I used it for a related SQL 2008 issue but it looks like it can get rid of any software that refuses to leave by the front door. Thanks so much.
That's great!
Thanks so much.
I'll jump on the old bandwagon and say thanks Aaron for this solution, I was in the same boat as all y'all and this solution worked like a charm! Rock on!
Wow! after 2 days lost, this recipe is the best thing I found. In my case I had to sort order to resolve uninstall dependencies, i.e. I had to ask removal of "engine shared" at the top of my batch file list. When I ran the batch file a 2nd time, everything was perfectly remove (unbelievable!). Thanks for sharing, Morpheus
It work well with a complete f*ck up installation where is impossible to uninstall with a soft and normal way. After that, SQL 2008 R2 was able to complete all installation without problem.
You just saved my day. Thank you very much!
Man, I love you. Thanks so much!
since this is the painfull way of doing it i wouldn't suggest doing it.
after i followed ur steps i was stuck with other problems which finally made me to remove every registery associated with sql server but that didn't end pretty well either.
my suggestion is that to use windows "fix it" wich is designed to this taks.
Thank you so much for this fantastic post!
You saved my time mate!
OI Aaron. Queria saber se é possível você acessar meu notebook e realizar esse procedimento. E quanto seria o valor desse trabalho?
your a great admin, that was awesome!
Thanks so much. it was important ti me…
Perfectly removed that … software with a simple .bat file.
Thanks so much for sharing your guide!
you saved me again sir, Thank you very much
Thank you very much!!!!
Aaron it works. I had it on WIN7 X86 my issue wasn't the evaluation period error but the sql server engine wasn't working and corrupted. I would go and buy the DEV 49 buks one :-). wtf i learned it hard way wasted a whole week trying Add Remove Program feature.
Thanks again
well if you run the batch file while you have SSIS server running you can get in trouble and it won't delete few registry files. Here we go i am going to delete any thing related to MSFT SQL on this puppy. I wish release team did have a complete documentation around it so people knew before evaluating the application. smh…..
Thank you for this, this was exactly the same for me and solve my issye while trying to remove a R2 to put a 2k8 instead.
Thanks Aaron, I am going to follow your guide. Your time spent is much appreciated.
booya…. werked fer me too! PIA but thx
This worked great. Thank you.
Love the bat file trick.
Wonderful tip, thanks a lot!
I also fell into the eval trap. I recently discovered MS' Express versions of IIS and SQL 2008 and because the pg_sql driver with PHP 5.3 (shipped with IIS 7 Express) gave me lots of issues I decided to give the SQL Express a go. Forgetting that 2008R2 eval. was in the way.
Rest is as you described above. Best part: I learned something new here!
This tip went straight into my OneNote bag of Windows goodies.
Thanks a bunch, saved me lots of time and grief!
Thank you very much Aaron. You're a great help 😀
Thanks Aaron! I had the same issue that started witn an install of Server 2008 Standard from a DVD that failed because it was looking for a sqlncli.msi for Server 2008R2 on the 2008 DVD. What a mess. Glad to have it behind me now.
Aaron – you're a champ, thanks so much for this information it was invaluable…!
Genius. Thank You!
I have the same problem, it bother me a lot, now I have solved it by the way mentioned above, thanks
I tried running the bat file but it fails with the message
"_R" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
The underscore is a square symbol on screen rather than an alpha character.
I ran the bat file as an administrator, but got same error.
I found the MsDtsServer100 service was running so I stopped it. But still the same error.
The bat file is sitting on C:\ root folder, should it be in a specific folder ?
I created the .bat file using Rob Farley's Powershell Script and the bat file name created is uninstallR2.bat
Has anyone else used Rob's script? and got the above issue.
Thank you very much. I owe you 3 handfuls of hair that have remained on my head…
My SQL Server installation wasn't even broken, but the uninstaller kept giving me the same selection of features to uninstall over and over. I just wanted SQL Server to be gone completely from my system. Your Howto solved that, thanks.
Same for me!
Big Thank to you…
Very helpful, thanks Aaron
โคตรเทพ อ่ะ ใช้แล้ว Uninstall ได้เลยค่ะ ขอบคุณมากนะคะ
Your blog … helped tremendously … unfortunately Ifound it after I did proceed down the rathole and won't get the time back. My problem was a 2008R2 upgrade on a cluster that lost some binaries in the ftp … the upgrade failed at the PONR with the INSTANCE.INACTIVE at the new version and the INSTANCE of the 2008. Long story short … I tried repairing, tried upgrading again, unistall of the engine,replication… finally removing the 2008 node from the cluster, removed all the 2008 and got caught in still and the INTANCE.INACTIVE and the final vicous removal of 2008R2 .. In the wee hours of the a.m. I came across your blog and finally got the remnants removed via the msiexec.exe /x route… had I found your article earlier … it would have kept me from removing the node and the 2008. This article applies to any version of 2008R2 and its removal.
Re-title your article … End the Nightmare of removing 2008R2 and Beyond
Thanks! You saved me a lot of time!
Thanks a lot ..you are a life savior…
The manual uninstall worked, UGLY, but it worked!
Hi Aaron,
you just saved my life , ok not my life but my weekend.
Hi Aaron
I had success with uninstalling SQL Server 2008 SP1. (Programs and features/View installed updates). After un-install it was possible to either upgrade the edition (maintenance) or to de-install the instances.
Where will you write command
rem DisplayName
msiexec /x "{guid}"
is in Start->Run
Thanks a lot
Great Works… Many thanks
I ran in the same issue by upgrading / uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0.
🙂 tosc
please give us some more needful because while following the same process for uninstallation we are getting error and also only half uninstalltion is done
i know why it is not displaying my name because i have given you the bad comment so you dont want to publish it.
Thanks a lot Aaron!
It saves me a lot of valuable time.
Thanks a bunch
I was trying different things spent a whole day!!! but only your solution worked for me!
Great Thanks again!!
Thanks Aaron!
I've been struggling with this uninstall problem all morning and none of the other "solutions" I found works.
Wow, You are hero status. Will be using this for our company since we work with db installs all day. Thank you kindly.
Thank you for helping to unblock the situation and enabling me to proceed with reinstalls.
Spot on, thanks for your help. The advice sounds good too, I will but the developer version next time.
Save me alot. Thanks
Crumbs, many thanks for this.
Whew! Thank you!
tanx man
you saved my time!
In my case it is a diff problem. The sql2008 r2 is removed successfully but not from the control panel! Unable to remove the title from control panel. When I install again it is not done.
Thanks for the excellent idea, Aaron. What would you do with a key that has no corresponding GUID? I see a key "Microsoft SQL Server 10" with a DisplayName value "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2", an UninstallString value ""c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2008R2\x86\SetupARP.exe" /x86", but no GUID (i.e. no SQLProductFamilyCode).
TomB that depends, is this key preventing you from doing anything? Or is it just cosmetics at this point? Without a GUID it shouldn't actually be able to enforce blocking the install of anything else.
Sounds like a beta of some kind from very early in the 2008 or 2008 R2 lifecycle. Of course you know this, but I'll state it anyway: you should always be installing beta software on a virtual machine or other device that you don't care if you lose, have to wipe/reformat, etc. 🙂
Thanks again, Aaron, very helpful and an amazingly quick response! I don't think it was preventing anything. (I'm definitely practicing on a VM before trying this for a customer.)
Thanks for the info!
Thank you sir, I was struggling to uninstall. great help it is.
It helps me alot.THANKS!
Thank you so much!!!
To make things a little easier and uninstall everything SQL Server brought along use this code snipplet. You will need the installation media you used to install sql server.
1. open command prompt (cmd.exe):
2. enter the following lines of code
pushd "path\to\install\media"
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /s /a:-D *.msi') do (
msiexec /x "%a"
This will uninstall any msi package sql server installed during setup.
You might want to repeat this once or twice to eliminate any leftover dependencies.
And one last note: Do yourself a favour and reboot inbetween the individual runs.
this is simply AWESOME:)…Saved a lot of time and money…
Thank you Aaron. Add one more poor soul who lost beaucoup time until discovering your solution. Jesus H. Christ! Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves (but are they ever ashamed? no). I've never seen such a confusing mess before. Thanks again.
thanks a lot. it's work very good
Thank you, Aaron, this saved me a ton more trouble than re-installing a whole physical server.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks Aaron, very helpful
Thanks for that. Worked very well.
Wow! Your solution really helped! You are a rock star!!
thanks alot,its working for me
This totally worked for me. It was definately a mess that complicated a Crystal Reports Server uninstall. Thank you very much for this article!
man, what a piece of this was this….. well, i really need to say: thank you
Thank you very much, Aaron, I was getting crazy with that damn uninstall! Your solution spared me a stomachache…
I didn't read through all these comments but wanted to leave a note about my situation. I spent a couple hours trying to uninstall SQL 2008 R2 and it never uninstalled completely, which really frustrated me. I did a repair, which used my new product key but I was still getting the error messages. I did some searching and finally stumbled on the edition upgrade.
I was getting the "Evaluation period has expired message" too. I ran the "SQL Server Installation Center" \ "Maintenance" \ "Edition Upgrade". I had a valid key for Standard Edition and used that. This worked for me.
This is very much helpful! you save the day. Thank you!
Thank you very much Aaron. This is the only way I could uninstall SQL Server 2008 R2 from my machine.
Thank you so much! I was going nuts trying to uninstall SQL Server 2008 R2. Worked like a charm.
Thank You so much for above info. It's very beneficial for me. It's looks like tech support as usual.
thank you for your notes. It helped me out.
I have one issue left. it could be the order of uninstalling the guids.
I have one guid that was for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Database Engine Shared
that would not remove. it was toward the bottom of my list to delete.
I get error The error code is 2331. The arguments are: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Bin\{C942A025-A840-4BF2-8987-849C0DD44574}sqlca.dll, The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect
also found this message

Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I finally got it to work. I had to uninstall my sql server 2008 enterprise edition before I could get the sql server 2008 R2 express edition to uninstall. then I installed sql server 2008 enterprise edition
and restored master and msdb databases.
Alot of work, but my enterprise edition maintenance plans can be modified now.
you stopped me from tearing all of my hair out.
unfortunately, i had already wasted half a day before i chanced upon your article. Now i get to keep my other half of the day and saved my hair. Thanks!
You, Sir, are a god among men! Thank You!
Well, I had had gone half a day but at least I still have hair! Thanks for this, worked like a charm!
To BEST DELETE Database Engine Shared!!
Run first
MsiExec.exe /I{A2122A9C-A699-4365-ADF8-68FEAC125D61}
and then
msiexec /x "{A2122A9C-A699-4365-ADF8-68FEAC125D61}"
Hi Aaron Bertrand,
Thanks a lot, this is very useful info, I could resolve my problem now.

It worked perfectly….thank you very very very much!!!
Aaron…job well done my friend! You just saved me a major headache and hours of hard work. Very well written post – and it worked like a charm!
Great POST !
if you need a bit more granularity and control without having to skim the .reg, you can also do something like this:
"wmic product get > products.txt" <-lists all of the packages and obj strings with good info.
The removal procedure is the same as yours or you can use "wmic"
Thank you very much for helping me overcome this nightmare of an uninstall.
~Eric Peyser
To not confuse things I will put this post separate.
You can use notepad++ for marking or ferreting out the blocks of suspect installs in your dump file (products.txt). The search and replace/mark has the ability to search via regex.
~Eric Peyser
Thanks so much.
It works for me
Thanks a lot
but some sql dll files have remained
would I have any problem re-installing SQL server?
@mehrnoosh can you be more specific? Just because .dll files are on your system doesn't mean they're being used – not all uninstall routines (especially manual ones like this) actually delete all related files. Did you *try* re-installing?
Hey Aaron, So I had SQL Server 2012 installed while uninstalling SQL Server 2008 R2. I was able to uninstall SQL Server 2008 easily after stopping all of my SQL Server services. Being as paranoid as I am, I decided to repair my SQL Server 2012 thinking that maybe something might have gone missing and once the repairing was done, returned in the Control Panel to find the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Support files along with SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Objects. I'm lost.
@JayJay: 2008 <> 2008 R2, did you uninstall 2008 or 2008 R2? You may have to remove additional elements like the setup support files even after successfully removing the database engine. The article above was written to assist when the Control Panel methods don't work.
Oh okay. As I have been looking for answers in the net, several places brought me here so I apologize for getting slightly off-topic and thank you for reaching out. So, I watched a couple of You-Tube videos and it seems that SQL Server 2012 actually came preinstalled with Setup Support files from SQL Server 2008 and Management Objects originally meant for SQL Server 2008 R2. As for your question, I uninstalled 2008 R2. This video shows someone uninstalling SQL Server 2012 with no sign of having 2008 or 2008 R2 in the Control Panel. Skip to 1:40:
.. To save you from confusion, I wanted to keep SQL Server 2012 in my system so I performed repair and it brought back these two properties back into the Control Panel: 1.SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files & 2.SQL 2008 R2 Management Objects.
Everything uninstalled but I still have SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Agent 2008 listed in the services. How do I remove those?
Amazing post. Really helped a lot
Wow…what a wonderful advise and it really worked like a charm…Thanks a lot Aaron and you really saved my time…once again wonderful article and thanks for sharing
I just ran across this myself — trying to remove SQL Server Management tools 2014 (which is called Express, which actually came from a management-tools-only installation package). I wonder if anyone from Microsoft has seen this or has commented to you privately…..
The management tools 2014 were not even listed in Programs and Features (Windows 7).
I needed to install some non-Express features so that SSMS would save the DTSX packages that it creates via the import-export wizard… sheesh.
Microsoft ought to supply a program to "remove all traces of SQL Server".
Thanks! It does work to me.
just install some new feature from sql 2008 after installation just uninstall there is no need for this method try this
very good – thank you.
helped me with my rude Unistallation of SQL Server 2008 R2, too.
Thanks for your post, its saves some productive hr of mine.

Sunday School (9:15 am – 10:15 am each Sunday)
Teachers prepare for Sunday School by using a curriculum called the Gospel Project. Our goals during Sunday School are to provide a safe environment for preschoolers to learn that Jesus loves them and so do we! Lessons are created for our babies through five year olds in an age appropriate and engaging way!
Worship For Preschoolers (10:15 am – 11:45 am each Sunday)
While our younger preschoolers (bed babies- toddlers) are cared for during the worship hour by dedicated volunteers, our three year olds- Kindergartners participate in Discovery Land: Discovering Truths in God's Word. We use the First Look Curriculum from Orange Resources for our Preschool Worship time. Each Sunday, the preschoolers begin with Make It Fun Activity which helps prepare them for what they will learn in worship time, creating a fun, but meaningful time for them. Next, they travel with their leaders from their classroom to our Preschool Worship room. During worship time, they sing songs, play games, hear a Bible story, and learn foundational Biblical truths. Each month, we focus on memorizing one verse, one song, and one Biblical truth, but a new Bible story is introduced each week.
Mission Friends and Music (6:30 pm – 7:30 pm each Wednesday)
From toddlers to kindergarteners, we offer mission friends and music classes. Mission friends is designed to begin to build a missional foundation in a child's life. We begin learning what it means to be a missionary, to do missions, and to tell the story of Jesus. Every Wednesday night, the mission friends will gather for music, learning, games, and activities. They enjoy doing crafts and learning about missionaries in other countries. We have a special time of playing instruments and music each week.
