6 Things to Look for in a Home Theater Projector
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorial, HDTV, Home Entertainment
Buying a home projector sounds easy at first: You get a screen, you get a projector, you aim it at the screen – and presto, theater-like movie time! But reality quickly teaches us that home projectors are very cool, but also a little complicated. They don't follow the same rules as TV screens, and they have extra features to consider and choose between.

TiVo Bolt review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Product Reviews
After using the TiVo Bolt Unified Entertainment System extensively over the past few months, and waiting for a couple of software updates to drop that ended up improving the product (making it even better than it was at launch,) I'm ready to hit you with my full thoughts in my full TiVo Bolt review. In the day and age of cord-cutting, of ubiquitous cable company-offerred DVRs, and of the influx of 4K content, does TiVo still have a place? Is the TiVo Bolt worth your time and attention?

Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu-ray player plays 4K discs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: CES, CES 2016, HDTV, Home Entertainment
4K television sets have been available for sale for a couple of years now, but there hasn't been a lot of content available in the native 2160p resolution for owners of the pixel-dense displays. That's about to change, as 4K UHD discs are set to debut in late February. To view the discs, you'll need an updated disc player, and Panasonic has announced the UB900 Ultra HD Blu-ray player which will be available soon in both Europe and the US. It'll support 1,000-10,000 nits output, BT.2020 color gamut, 60fps high frame-rate support, and will even sport twin HDMI output, allowing you to separate where you send the video signal from where you send the audio. Studios like Sony, Warner Bros., and Fox are readying the releases of their UHD Blu-ray discs, many of which also support HDR. 2016 is setting up to be a big year for 4K technology.

2015 Holiday Gift Guide: Sonos PLAY:5
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Family, Men, Techies, Under $500
Yes, Sonos is back in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide, and for good reason. That reason is the absolutely incredible redesigned Sonos PLAY:5. The Sonos PLAY:5 houses six high-quality digital amps individually paired with six speakers to deliver fantastic sound in any room, and it does it with clarity and no distortion. This means that every voice and instrument shines through in detail, even when turned up to the max. You really can't go wrong with any Sonos products, but the Sonos PLAY:5 is the new kid on the block getting all the attention, which it deserves. As soon as I opened it up and started playing music through it, the quality and attention to detail was apparent. This is a real home run from Sonos, and would be the perfect gift for any music lover.
You can pick up the Sonos PLAY:5 now. It also goes nicely with the other Sonos components:
You can use a pair of Play:1, Play:3, or Play:5 units to create a wide stereo pair as well!
2015 Holiday Gift Guide: TiVo Bolt
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Family, Men, Techies, Under $500
TiVo has been around for a long time, and in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience, it's released the TiVo Bolt - going from just DVR to Unified Entertainment System--and it's good enough to be included in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide. The standout feature is SkipMode, which allows you to skip commercials when watching your favorite shows with the press of a single button. QuickMode is also cool, playing shows at 1.3x speed with pitch correction, so you can get through those binge-watching sessions even quicker. It's 4K-compatible, and supports a bunch of streaming video services (although Amazon Prime Instant Video seems to be absent for some odd reason.) TiVo still sports the best DVR interface in the business, and the Bolt includes one year of TiVo service with purchase.
You can pick up the 500GB TiVo Bolt now (or if you need more space, grab the 1TB TiVo Bolt!)

iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch will be big holiday gifts this year, make no mistake about it. The Apple TV is actually a fantastic complement to Apple's handhelds, worthy of being featured in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide. Having recently been completely revamped for the release of the fourth generation model, the new Apple TV is a nice little device in its own right. At the center of it all is the App Store, which now lets you download TV-optimized apps and games, all playable using the new Siri Remote, as well as favorites like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, sports networks, and plenty of other entertainment options. The best part, though, is AirPlay. You can beam audio and video content right to the Apple TV with ease from your iOS device, or your Mac. You can also mirror the display of these devices as well, all wireless over your home network.
You can pick up the Apple TV for $149 for the 32GB model, or $199 for the 64GB version.

This striking Cartier watch clip epitomizes the Art Deco style. Sophisticated and chic, this fashionable timepiece features a dial and clip of onyx, while sparkling round-cut diamonds comprise the bezel and mark the hours. Crafted of platinum and 18K yellow gold, this watch exudes elegance. The Cartier tradition of clock and watch making extends almost as far back as the founding of the company. In 1898, Louis Cartier, one of the three Cartier brothers and grandson of founder Louis-François, moved to 13 rue de La Paix with his father, Alfred. Louis was a talented creator of jewels and art objects, and confirmed his talent by tying his craft with clock making traditions, lost now for more than a century. Thereafter, Cartier's clocks, table clocks, and watches were manufactured with an emphasis on perfection, beauty and originality. Clock making, at first a secondary activity, became the predominant activity and prestige of Cartier.

Position of apartment is really excellent, in the heart of Latin Quarter (a bit of noise in the early morning during my stay, but absolutely tolerable!) and 5 min walk from Notre Dame and metro'! Great :)
Bathroom is very small, whilst bedroom and kitchen are good. Clean and with all you need (tivu', wifi, washing machine, cooking stuff...)
Tony is very kind and gave us all the required info.
Of course I'll consider to stay here if I visit Paris again.
Very central location close to Notre Dame, metro and with as many different restaurants as you can think of just outside the door! A bit nighttime noise from the restaurants, especially Saturday night. Tiny bathroom. Otherwise well equipped, and good wi-fi.
This is a wonderful location for seeing the heart of Paris Latin quarter. My 2 elderly sisters and I were looking for a place to stay together, with a private bath, with a kitchen and washing machine. The place is quite small but very well outfitted, and efficiently laid out. The apartment is only 220 sq ft or so, up a narrow spiral stairway one flight. It was a very old building (centuries!) but had a delightful modern kitchen, a tiny bath with toilet, sink and shower, and a room with a full bed and a fold out twin bed/chair all very comfortable. nice linens. The washing machine was excellent and quiet. There was a rack for drying clothes.
My sisters and and I found the location above a creperie delightful. The location is very close to the metro, down a narrow street filled with quaint restaurants and shops, and near St Severin church. We found the noise was minimal to none with the windows closed, but some street noise until midnight if open. The shop deliveries occur about 7 am also. These didn't bother us, but they had been noted in other reviewers also.
Had a great stay at Antoine's flat right in the heart of St. Michel. Such a great location with lots of restaurants around, shopping and both the metro and the RER to Orly and CDG nearby. The flat was small but totally adequate, clean and comfortable. There was a bit of street noise on Saturday night but the other nights it was very quiet. Antoine was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful when I ran into a problem (unrelated to the apartment). Would highly recommend.
Great apartment in the heart of Paris. Small, but fully equipped and nice furniture.
Antoine was a great host who reacted immediately when we had a question.
Really close to Notre Dame and lot of Restaurants nearby. A little bit noisy in the evening so bring earplugs. But the location is great and we would love to come back.
Perfect location, 300 m from Seine in Quartier Latin, walking distance to many attractions. Well-equiped and cosy apartment, good bed, fine kitchen. A little noisy in the evening from nearby restaurants but nothing severely disturbing. Free WiFi.
Clearly value for money!!
In fact, i have stayed in one of Antoine's other appartments. I haven't seen this particular place, but in general I can say that Antione is very friendly, professional and pro-active. No surprises. Great.
Apartamento situado en el corazón del barrio latino lo que te permite estar muy bien comunicado con todo París. Lo peor: muy ruidoso, entrada al portal tercermundista, apartamento viejo, descuidado, pequeño, antiguo, sábanas cada una de su padre y de su madre, minibaño muy antiguo, sofá-cama con una funda que se podría lavar de vez en cuando..., pelusas por el suelo, no hay armario para dejar la ropa, solo un "burro" con unas pequeñas baldas y barra con alguna percha, no encontramos ni escoba, ni fregona. La cocina está bien, completa. En resumen, se puede usar este apartamento pero no es tal y como se describe. Olores procedentes del restaurante-Kebab que está justamente debajo y la hora de salida como máximo entre las 10-11.0 h, un fastidio si tu vuelo no sale hasta por la noche ya que no puedes dejar las maletas. Falta alguna explicación de como conectar los radiadores, aunque no hace frío.

AGD: Start of a Southern Swing
Kent Wilson
November 23 2012 03:46PM
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Cedar Park Center, Texas
Broadcast: abbotsfordheat.com, teamreadio.ca
The Heat have had four days to lick their wounds after a beat down at the hands of the Toronto Marlies. Abbotsford had looked nearly immortal this year up until the Marlies humbled them 5-0 last Sunday afternoon, but today they'll look to get back to their winning ways.
Aside from Ben Street, a lot of he Heat's scorers have been silent over the last few games, so the club will need names like Sven Baertschi, Roman Horak and Dustin Sylvester to get back on the scoresheet if they want to win. Word is Baertschi has been creating chances every game, but the puck just hasn't been going in.
On the back-end, the team will need a better effort all around, ranging from the goaltender to each and every defender. Irving wasn't great last game but he was also left out in the cold more than once thanks to bad decisions or poor execution. The team has benefited from great puck stopping so far this year but they're also a top-10 team in terms of denying shots on goal, so it's sensible to expect a rebound this evening.
As for the Stars, they are one of the worst teams in the AHL through the early going. They have managed a Western Conference low 32 goals through 14 games and don't have the sort of names up front that will strike fear into their opponents defenders.
The Line-up
Troy Ward mentioned on the FAN960 recently that Greg Nemisz is back skating and may return to the active roster this weekend. We will assume he won't be in tonight, however.
- Baertschi - Walter - Horak
- Kolanos - Byron - Sylvester
- Olson - Street - Laing
- Ferland - Reinhart - Ruesegger
- Brodie - Piskula
- McCarthy - Breen
- Callahan - Lamb
- Taylor
With Irving getting lit up last game. I assume Ward returns to Danny Taylor between the pipes tonight.
The Opponent
As mentioned, the Stars generally lack star power. Third round pick and former washington Capital prospect Cody Eakin is the top scorer on the team with 6 goals and 11 points in 14 games, while both Texas goalies are laboring with sub-.900 save percentages. It's kind of amazing they have won any games so far.
- Vincour - Glennie - Eakin
- Sceviour - Morin - Roussel
- Fraser - Petersen - Morin
- Chaisson - Wathier - Smith
- Dillons - Fortunus
- Oleksiak - Barker
- Labrie - Benn
- Campbell
Petersen and Barker are a couple of ex-Oilers. And, yes, they are both fairly lousy. In fact, despite being ex-NHLers, both are near the bottom of the team in tersm of plus/minus (-6 and -5 respectively). Petersen has just two points in 14 games to boot.
On the back-end Jamie Oleksiak is a monster rookie (6'7", 254 pounds) and 14th overall pick. In net, Jack Campbell is thus far another object lesson in why picking goalies in the first round is a bad idea. Chosen 11th overall back in 2010, Campbell moved from the US National system to the OHL Spitfires and promptly got lit up. His CHL rookie season save percentage was just .884 in 45 games (which is horrible). He followed that up with seasons of .906 (bad) and .892 (terrible again). He played 12 games in the AHL last season and managed an okay .912 save rate, but so far this year is back down to .868 in seven games played. Picked shortly after Campbell that year were Cam Fowler (12th), Jaden Schwartz (14th) and Vladimir Tarasenko (16th).
Of course, it's still too early to write Campbell off, but those are simply awful returns for an 11th overall pick.
Finally, Scott Gelnnie is another formerly highly touted prospect who has yet to deliver on his promise. Picked 8th overall in 2009, Glennie scored 89 and then 91 points in his final two seasons in junior. His rookie effort last year in Texas was altogether underwhelming however - he finished with just 12 goals and 37 points in 70 games (good for 5th on the team in scoring). He has only appeared in 6 games for the Stars so far this year, so it's hard to say if he's taken a step forward or not.
Sum it Up
The Heat face a vulnerable opponent this evening. The Stars don't have an impressive line-up and their goaltending has been awful. With the combination of a weak offense and leaky puck stoppers, the Stars represent a good opportunity for Abbotsford to forget their big loss in Toronto and get back into the "W" column.
It's truly ridiculous how far Cam Fowler fell that year. He should have been picked in the top 5/6--pretty much everyone everywhere thought he would--and ended up going 12th because everyone wanted a forward (and the Rangers took Dylan McIlrath for some reason)
November 23 2012, 07:41PM
Dallas drafts worse than the Flames. And trades worse as well.
Why does it seem like nearly all Heat games are incredibly low-scoring? 0-0 nearly through 2.
November 23 2012, 08:16PM
Jeez that Heat power play is real bad. Not to impressed with that Horak/ Sven/ Walters line.
Breen from Baertschi in OT. At least the end result was right.

Tyler Smithpeters was well aware of how productive the Harrisburg offense was over the weekend, especially Saturday night.
Which is saying something for a Harrisburg ball club that, despite the success they have had to date, has parlayed many a points off turnovers and their lock down defense.
Knowing the offense would come around, Randy Smithpeters waited patiently, buying his time.
The Bulldogs opened up Saturday night's game with a 13-0 lead, knocking down six 3-pointers in the first quarter in taking a 29-4 lead as they would go on to beat Du Quoin 90-43 at Davenport Gymnasium.
Which prompted Tyler Smithpeters to point out: "Tonight, it seemed like we couldn't miss anything. We'll have a night where it will seem like we can't hit anything. Tonight was just our night."
From an offensive standpoint, Harrisburg had similar success Friday night in a 72-46 win on the road at Massac County.
The Bulldogs tied the school's best start over the weekend at 9-0, tying the 1997-98 team. More so, Harrisburg is also 2-0 in the Southern Illinois River-to-River Ohio Division as they prepare for Friday night's showdown at Davenport against Herrin.
"We realize the talent we have on the team and we try to come out and play with class," Harrisburg head coach Randy Smithpeters said. "We put our best offensive and defensive game on the floor and just play with class every night. I think that's our job to use the talent and the skills we have, every night to be as good as we can be."
In Saturday's win over Du Quoin, Capel Henshaw led the Bulldogs in scoring with 21 points including 13 in the first quarter alone as he drained three 3-pointers.
Tyler Smithpeters scored 16, while Eli Taborn Scott tacked on 11 and Gabe Oglesby came off the bench for 10 points.
It was a night when Harrisburg cleared its bench as Smithpeters brought out his starters with 4:00 to play in the third quarter.
"We shot well and that opens up a lot of things," Smithpeters said. "It puts points on the board, but it also spreads the floor and opens up a lot of things for a lot of people.
"The thing I am the most proud of is on the defensive end. It's what we really focus on and I'm happy that things went so well on the offensive end, but on the defensive end we've really been shutting people down.
I thought we defended better Saturday night than we did Friday night with the technique we used to do that."
Ryne Roper netted nine points, all coming from beyond the arc, while 'Snowy' Bjornsson and Jake Simerly each scored six points. Dakota Upchurch finished with five points, while Justin Younger flipped in four points and Carson Batts scored two.
Page 2 of 2 - In the win over Massac County Friday night, Smithpeters led all scorers with 25 points, while Henshaw tacked on 15 and Taborn-Scott scored 13 to finish in double figures.
Roper had six, all of which came in the first half, while Upchurch finished with four points., as did Oglesby.
Caleb Bartok tacked on three points and Bahari Amaya had two points.
It was a shaky start for Harrisburg Friday in Metropolis, as they struggled to get out to a 15-11 first quarter lead. But as the Bulldogs settled in, they were able to outscore the Patriots 22-16 in the second quarter and pulled away with a 24-14 third quarter to take a 61-41 lead.
"Massac County came and played zone (defense), which we expected them to do," Smithpeters said. They've done a lot of that this year. It's not something we've seen a lot of this year, but we were prepared and we felt our way through it. We missed some shots that we might normally make, but I think as the game went one we became a little more comfortable with other things, allowing us to create shots, either on the floor or around the basket."
Smithpeters added how nice it was to see Harrisburg hit their stride in the third quarter, with what the head coach called a "blitz" style of play.
"We're up 10 at halftime and that was kind of our goal, was to come out with a blitz and we played good defense. We played good offense and had a nice 9-0 run, that I'm not going to say, put the game away because that's one thing about this Massac County team. They have played a lot of games from behind and fought back. They don't quit.
"I want to see us continually get better and I think we did that this weekend."

The first wind farm in Dallas County spins atop a historic building at El Centro College in downtown Dallas.
The community college fired up the farm last month to mark Earth Day, and now 80 turbines are generating enough electricity to power 2,000 computers.
The wind farm was proposed by David Browning, the school's vice president for business affairs. He said that when he began working there in 2008, he was struck by how windy it was around campus.
"Every time I walked outside, I would get hit by wind," Browning said. "We actually got statistics showing how much our average speed is, which comes to 20 to 25 mph."
In the next six years, El Centro tested many prototypes before settling on turbines and a supporting metal grid from Hydro-Star Energy. The total cost was $240,000.

In the twilight of his basketball playing days, seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady chose to finish out his career in China, where he is a global icon. (He has his own cool shoe with his picture on it.)
EARLIER: McGrady retires from NBA, takes talents to China
McGrady signed with the Qingdao Double Star Eagles in October, and Tuesday's exhibition game marked the end of the preseason for the team.
Understandably, when fans pay to see an NBA superstar, they expect to see that player on the court to witness a highlight-reel dunk or two.
Not understandably, fans decided to make it known how angry they were when McGrady played just 98 seconds.
McGrady scored five points in the first two minutes but sat the rest of the game.
Better believe those in attendance noticed. Toward the end of the game, fans started throwing objects on the court to show their disgust. According to NIUBball.com, the objects included water bottles and lighters before the game was called.
It turns out McGrady was sick. Or at least he told the crowd that to settle things down.
He took a microphone and told the fans:
"Sorry I wasn't able to play tonight, due to certain circumstances and the conditions--me being under the weather."
This had to make the fans feel terrible about their actions. This might have been the biggest overreaction since Stephon Marbury had his own statue built in China.
To be fair, it should be noted the game was played in Binzhou, Shandong province, and the chances of seeing McGrady play outside of Tuesday's game are slim to none. McGrady had 34 points and eight rebounds in Sunday's exhibition game, further fueling expectations for a strong showing.
The CBA regular season begins this weekend, with 17 teams set to play 32 games each, before an eight-team championship playoff.
After the game was called, McGrady was escorted out. On his way out, he was nice enough to toss souvenirs into the stands to please the crowd, as you can see in this picture below. Class guy for a hostile crowd.

The Dubnyk Selection
Jonathan Willis
August 16 2010 01:48PM
Devan Dubnyk wasn't the first player on the radar for the Oilers at the 2004 NHL Draft. He wasn't the second or third player, either. And it's easy to forget now, but at the time the Oilers were criticized in a few different places for the selection – because Dubnyk wasn't considered the best goaltender available at 14th overall.
Guy Flaming's draft review for Hockey's Future is a great resource for anyone looking back at the 2004 draft, and he got a great quote from scout Chris McCarthy on the players the Oilers had hoped to grab with the 14th pick:
"We really wanted (Drew Stafford) but we also thought we might have a shot at (A.J.) Thelen or even (Lauri) Tukonen," admitted scout Chris McCarthy.
Stafford, a 6'2" winger related to former Oilers trainer Barrie Stafford, was the player that the Oilers coveted, something that was no secret on draft day. He would have been a good selection too; his career took a bit of a downturn this past season, but so far he's been a quality selection at 13th overall, which is where the Sabres took him (Side point: Stafford's rumoured to be available and would be a great pick-up for the Oilers). Tukonen and Thelen would have been disastrous picks, but fortunately they went consecutively immediately before Stafford.
The Oilers drafted Dubnyk because they thought him to be the best goaltender in the draft, an opinion that put them out of sync with NHL scouting consensus at the time. Dubnyk was widely thought to be the third best goaltender in the draft. At the time, the title of best goaltender was a toss-up between Al Montoya, who went sixth overall, and Marek Schwarz, who went 17th overall.
Montoya wasn't available to the Oilers, but it's easy to see why the scouts loved him. He had two seasons of starting experience at the University of Michigan by the time his draft year rolled around, and he'd been splendid, recording save percentages of 0.911 and 0.917. He was also a gold medal winner at the World Juniors, where he led Team USA to gold, allowing just eight goals in six games – all wins. Montoya was also named to the all-tournament team. He was projected as a future star, but so far his professional career falls far short of his performance as an amateur.
Marek Schwarz, however, was available. Another star of the international junior circuit, Schwarz had done well for the Czech Republic at both the U-18 and U-20 tournaments; at the U-18 he led the tournament in goals against and save percentage and was named best goaltender. His acrobatic style drew inevitable comparisons to Dominik Hasek, and places like Red Line Report (they ranked him 7th overall) sang his praises.
Dubnyk wasn't chopped liver, but his resume was less impressive for many. He had size (although it's worth remembering that the NHL hadn't yet fallen totally in love with big goaltenders in 2004), and he had a solid performance for a poor team in Kamloops. He'd also played well at the U-18 tournament, although perhaps not as spectacularly as Schwarz. He'd also won the 2004 CHL Scholastic Player of the Year award. But the Oilers loved both his ability and his character, and had him ranked as the best goaltender in the draft, and so they took him despite still having a firm belief that Jeff Deslauriers was going to be an NHL starter.
Six years later, while Dubnyk still hasn't established himself, the Oilers' selection doesn't look so bad. Montoya's an AHL backup, while Schwarz is putting up good numbers in Europe after a disastrous professional career in North America. Of the first-rounders, only Cory Schneider is really still in the conversation, and he's not clearly ahead of Dubnyk.
It's not the outcome anyone would have predicted on draft day – another indicator of how unpredictable goaltender projection can be – but this coming season might finally vindicate the Oilers' goalie scouts from 2004. They went against the consensus, they drafted the guy they liked, and while the road to this point has been a long one, Dubnyk is in a position where strong performance on his part could transform him from the goalie of the future to the goalie of the present.
It won't necessarily be easy. Ostensible starter Nikolai Khabibulin may or may not be available to start the year and may or may not be healthy, but he has the confidence of Oilers management. Jeff Deslauriers, two years older, hasn't been able to make that jump but is still in the conversation. Finally, Martin Gerber's track record means he must be considered as a competitor for the starting job, even if only as a dark horse.
The job is up for grabs, and Dubnyk has as good a shot as anyone.

August 16 2010, 02:02PM
Let's say that Khabby is healthy and out of jail. Where do you think each of the four players will lie? Aside from Khabby being the number one, i think it is a bit of a crap shoot to see where the other goalies end up. If DD ends up being back up to Gerber, than i guess he is no better than Montoya, right? We are too saturated with question mark goalies, i want an exclamation point goalie!
EDIT: Whoops, didn't mean to have this as a reply to the fist.
It would be nice if Dubnyk turned out for sure. I especially like the fact that he goes against the stereotype of a goalie being a loner and slightly seperate from the rest of the team - by all accounts he seems to be one of the most popular team-mates on any team he plays on, from what I've read.
But boy does the goal situation look a mess right now. I think that JD has paid his dues in the minors and aside from positioning issues has little to gain from minor hockey, and is a capable NHL backup (just my opinion, I know many will disagree), although certainly not at this stage someone I would trust to carry a team if the No. 1 goes down (as evidenced this past season). As such, I would like to see him shipped out to a team in need of a young-ish backup, and have Khapibulin and DD on the team, with Gerber manning the net in OKC and A.N. Other (Perugini, Sorochan or Pitton) as backup.
Have to wait and see on NK's trial though I guess to see how it all plays out.
August 16 2010, 02:10PM
Interesting that Reddox was picked as the sleeper that year and Schremp was a "steal". Hindsight tells us that that Wolski, Krejci or Green were the steals.
Hopefully Dubnyk develops into that solid #1 goalie by the time Khabi's contract is up.
August 16 2010, 02:12PM
Is Gerber a consideration as a backup to Khabibulin? I don't remember reading that anywhere. I think he's destined for the A unless something drastic happens.
August 16 2010, 02:14PM
I like what I have seen from Double Dee Doobie. He has a cool,calm demeanor that helps keep the rest of the bench feeling as though their goalie is in control. Unlike JDD with the splits and Hasek-like flopping, Dubnyk uses his size to his advantage and I think will be the better goalie in the next year or two.
Saying all this, I have a sneaking suspicion that the dark horse in the Oiler goalie carosel is Marty Gerber. He has pretty good numbers in his career and might have something to prove, being back in North America. For $550,000 on a two way contract I think it was a solid depth move by Tambi.
August 16 2010, 02:59PM
Good post, Jonathan. Shows how difficult this scouting business is, with the Oil so hot after Tukonen, Thelin. Not an exact science.
Anyway, here's hoping that Dubnyk gets 25-30 games next year and that he excels. I think he will do just fine, that what we saw in his final games wasn't a mirage.
He looks solid in net, rarely lets in a bad goal, and I'm betting he and Gerber man the nets, with JDD in AHL and Khabibulin injured/jailed.
August 16 2010, 03:16PM
My Lord those people who post fist are annoying losers.way to bring the site down a few notches everytime.
From my perspective, a goaltender should never be taken in the first round. Like we have discussed previously you have to wait so long for goalies to develop and they are so variable you are much better to take a chance on a forward - he will be contributing long before the goalie ever will.
Hopefully DD pans out all that being said.
Wouldn't you agree though that positioning problems are major issues and that after countless years of minor hockey and 8 years of professional development, it is unlikely that they will ever be fixed? The guy is good enough to get by on athletic ability in the AHL but in the NHL is stuff just doesn't cut it. He's had enough at bats for the team to know what he is capable of so its time to give these at bats to other goalies.
Honestly, I doubt JDD will ever be anything more than an adequate backup/tweener, and this seems to be the prevailing sentiment among fans. Although, for the record I hope (for his sake) JDD can prove me wrong.
@Jonathan Willis
Agreed about Gerber... Good signing to have in the AHL especially if Dubnyk or JD don't clear waivers. Question to you... I think we can both agree that Khabby is your #1 and Gerber is #4. Who do you put as backup and who (assuming he can clear waivers) as your starter in Oklahoma?
My thought - Dubnyk is your back up (assuming Khabby is out of jail and healthy). I think he's positional a better goalie and has a better demeanour. JD is more athletic and will develop into a solid backup but unfortunately, the organization is forced to make a decision now (to avoid another three headed monster). I think the Oil signed JD to the one year deal and for $1.05 million to make his appearance a little less attractive when they attempt to waive him.
My Lord those people who post fist are annoying losers.way to bring the site down a few notches everytime.
EDIT: DOH! - Thirtist
Dubnyk and DesLaurier still have to prove they can win at AHL level , before i'd rate either above Gerber . Neither of them did much in the win column in Springfield, or with the big club to be honest .
August 16 2010, 09:06PM
I'm not a big follower of the AHL but I got the sense Dubnyk played very well there last year. With the talent (or lack thereof) on that team last year Patrick Roy in his prime may not have had a winning record - and would have asked the president of the team for a trade by Christmas.
@Jerk Store
Do you have any George Costanza in stock? I hear he's your best seller.
August 16 2010, 09:33PM
The Oilers probably have an agreement with Gerber that if he doesn't crack the team out of camp he can return to Europe.
Why would a guy who already has millions in his jeans play in the wasteland of Oklahoma for $150k / year instead of going home to play in Europe where he's guaranteed to earn more than his AHL salary?
Gerber has been invited to camp to compete for an NHL job to potentially re-ignite his NHL career. Rightfully, the Oilers are concerned about Khabibulan and have something of a backup plan.
August 16 2010, 10:20PM
The b@stard slept with my wife.
There aren't any goalies who would be winning much with those Springfield teams. The one thing you can look at though is the fact that once Dubnyk went up, everything went to hell in Springfield. He kept that team barely afloat until they eventually sunk without him.
The win isn't always dependant on the goalies. The guys in front need to score and they need to limit shots... something the Falcons couldn't do.

Why we vote the way we do
According to a new Gallup survey, the number of Americans claiming they're Independents has surged at the expense of Republicans. Both parties have seen declines in identification signaling a general dissatisfaction with politics and politicians.
Should either party be worried about the results? Has the power of the independent vote increased?
Regarding the latter, since 1948, researchers from the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research have worked to understand why people vote the way they do and have found voting habits have changed very little over the years.
Susan Rosegrant is a lecturer at the U-M Residential College and a contributing editor at the U-M Institute for Social Research. Rosegrant writes about The American Voter, by researchers and survey designers Angus Campbell, Philip E. Converse, Warren E. Miller, and Donald E. Stokes, a 1960 book with assertions that have steered our thoughts of voting behavior ever since.
"…factors influencing voter behavior could be pictured as feeding into a funnel—what the authors called the funnel of causality—with the actual vote being the outcome of all the factors. Inside the mouth of the funnel were factors long considered important: socio-demographic characteristics—such as age, gender, and income level—and party identification. But, the authors argued, to judge their impact on the eventual vote, those factors first had to travel down the narrowing funnel and be filtered through a set of 'partisan attitudes,' that is, attitudes toward issues, social group interests, the parties' performance as managers of government, and the nominees themselves. Only after this 'political translation' process could the impact of the socio-demographic and party identification factors be determined.
"This more nuanced analysis of voter behavior produced some unexpected conclusions. For example, the authors asserted that Independents were not the thoughtful and informed voters most observers had assumed them to be, but instead were less interested and engaged than partisans.
"The authors also concluded that the average voter was surprisingly unsophisticated: Most citizens didn't make their voting decisions based on policy questions, nor did they hold consistently liberal or conservative views across issues. The assessment proved contentious in some quarters, and led to political scientist V.O. Key's famous response that 'voters are not fools.' But do the funnel of causality and other concepts of a book published in 1960 still apply to today's voters? According to William Jacoby—director of the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research based at ISR, and Michigan State University political science professor—the answer is a resounding yes."

Rethinking the Notion that Ryan Kesler is a "Puck Hog"
Thomas Drance
November 07 2012 12:44PM
After posting two consecutive seventy-point seasons, including a 2009-10 campaign that saw him post 50 assists, Ryan Kesler's offensive production dropped by about 20 points during the 2011-12 NHL campaign. If you asked fans of the team, one of the major reasons for Kesler's drop in production (outside of the fact that he rushed back from an injury, and was hobbled throughout the final three months of the regular season) was his seeming reluctance to pass the puck. The most common criticism I've heard: "Kesler has fallen in love with his shot."
In January, with the Canucks' possession numbers cratering and secondary scoring nowhere to be found outside of Cody Hodgson, headcoach Alain Vigneault publicly called out his two-way ace for hogging the puck. According to his coach, it was imperative that Ryan Kesler "use the players around him more," a public accusation that Ryan Kesler bristled at.
Looking over some new data on "Puck Hogging" posted by Benjamin Wendorf over at NHLNumbers.com, it appears that Kesler's annoyance at Alain Vigneault's criticism may have been entirely justified.
Read on past the jump.
Here's how Benjamin summarized his methodology and findings over at NHLNumbers on Wednesday:
I was looking across forwards with 20+ games the last five years and decided to add a metric, where I took the shots attempted (technically, it would be like "Fenwick attempted"; shots plus missed shots) while a player was on the ice and determined what percentage of those shots were attempted by the player. This percentage of attempted shots (%AttSh) was my way of saying, "Okay, I don't care what line you're on, or where you start on the ice...how many of the shots are your doing?" At the time, I was more interested in seeing if it was a stable metric for fantasy hockey prediction; if it was, I could consider it a marker of player behavior, or talent, and use it to predict how many shots a player might take. I was also interested in labeling people "puck hogs."
In summary, Ben was trying to figure out the frequency with which a particular player takes shots relative to his teammates when he's on the ice. He looked a bit deeper and found that "puck-hogging" - or the act of an individual skater taking a disproportionate number of their teams shots, relative to their teammates when they're on the ice - is something that players tend to repeatedly, season after season, like a bad habit.
Ben then broke-down which players dominate the shot-count the most when they're on the ice, and Ryan Kesler didn't crack the top-25. However, one of his line-mates did: shooting percentage outlier David Booth. By the numbers, Booth took the 18th highest percentage of his own teams shots when he was on the ice of any player who has played 20 games over the past five seasons.
Kesler didn't show up in the top-25 at all, though he did make it onto another one of Ben's list, and this one may surprise you. Ben looked at every players shooting percentage relative to the shooting percentage of their teammates, and attempted to crudely figure out which players were shooting too often (to the detriment of their team), which players should've shot more, and which players were right in the sweet spot, expertly picking their spots. Kesler, despite the criticisms of his performance last season from Canucks fans and Vancouver sports media, made the third list.
Realistically, Ben's numbers don't account for things like "the player tried to weave through three defenders and turned the puck over" or "ignored a teammate on a two-on-one," but I still find his findings compelling. Ryan Kesler's wrist shot is legitimately dangerous, and there's no doubt that he's a better shooter than the likes of Mason Raymond, Chris Higgins and David Booth (his most frequent line-mates last season). So why shouldn't he be taking the bulk of Vancouver's shots when the second line is on the ice, really?
Moreover if we use Ben's "shots attempted" stat, it looks like Ryan Kesler's newfound "puck-hogging" habit is neither newfound nor real at all. In fact, the evidence would lead me to suspect that the "Kesler is a puck hog" narrative is entirely a figment of the collective imagination. Here's Kesler's shots attempted broken down over the past three seasons:
|Ryan Kesler
|Canucks AttSh
|Kesler AttSh
As you can see, the numbers suggest that Kesler was actually more generous with the puck at even-strength in 2011-12, than he was during his 50 assist campaign. Those amateur psychoanalysts who think Kesler has exhibited a "do it all myself" mentality since singlehandedly defeating the Nashville Predators in the 2010-11 Western Conference Semifinals, might want to give it a rest.
My best guess here is that Kesler grated on the nerves of Canucks fans last season for other reasons, mostly his propensity for diving. In an effort to channel this frustration, fans and media may have looked for other areas of his game to critique and settled on the notion that he's "hogging the puck." Peeling back the layers of data however, the numbers suggest that Kesler's game hasn't really changed from a "puck distribution" perspective over the past three seasons.
So Kesler may not be a puck-hog, which is good news. After all if his linemate David Booth caught wind of the notion that Kesler might be an animal belonging to the Suidae family, well that might put Kesler's personal safety at grave risk.
Read Ben Wendorf's excellent take on "hogging the puck" here.
November 07 2012, 12:52PM
But he's still a diving puke, right?
The one caveat to his numbers last season, however, is that he was playing with a "puck hog" in the form of Booth, which skews his percentages somewhat for Ben's third list, assuming that by "teammates" Ben actually meant "linemates," which seems to be the case.
My frustration with Kesler's tendency to shoot first rather than pass the puck comes down to advanced stats' nemesis: shot quality. Instead of moving the puck and developing a higher quality scoring chance, Kesler seemed to try to force the puck through far too often.
I think Ben has come across something interesting, but I'm not sure anything substantive can be made from it yet. I think it needs more fine-tuning.
Good article. I still think Kesler was a puck hog last year, despite the stats. I feel that the definition of puck hog cannot be entirely or even strongly described by any available stats. The reason has to do with shot selection. The stats do not say whether or not the players' shots were worth attempting. This is where I feel the definition of puck hog lies. When a player starts taking many low percentage shots when he should pass or wait for the play to develop he is a puck hog. It wouldn't matter if he took a high or low percentage of the teams overall shots. What matters is that he is taking shots that are worth it. Last year Kesler seemed to take a lot of low percentage shots. Maybe this occurred because he was injured and couldn't get himself a better opportunity using his athleticism, or maybe defensemen were better at reading his shot. Either way, using the 'eye test' it seemed like Kes took a lot of long wrist shots from just inside the blue line with a defensemen comfortably marking him. Whereas, during his Selke campaign he seemed to more often than not be taking shots from a more wide open position, closer to the middle of the ice, with the defensemen reaching to stay with him.
November 07 2012, 02:50PM
I asked myself the same question and looked at when Jokinen joined Iginla over in Calgary. Neither player's %AttSh went down when they played together. Obviously, that's just one example, but building that kind of data-set will be a bit of a horrorshow time-wise, so that's all I can say for now. I'll look into it.
Fair enough. This is definitely an interesting line of thinking and I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it.
November 07 2012, 03:25PM
Raised a question that's somewhat in this realm regarding Kesler on the podcast I did with Charron yesterday, and there's no real right answer but it's a topic worth discussing. I wonder kind of effect would be had if the Canucks were able to put a big playmaking centre next to him that a) took up space and was a threat himself, b) was able to get Kesler the puck, and c) ultimately allowed Kesler to run wild on the RW without having to necessarily worry about his defensive responsibilities.
Obviously a lot of Kesler's value comes from his two-way play down the middle, as he drives play for the Canucks in a big way. But still. It's hard not to wonder what would happen if he was alleviated of some of those duties.

Dream Trips 2004
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you choose? We've figured out the smartest, cheapest ways to experience seven of the world's wonders. It's time to stop dreaming and start exploring.
The Pyramids Cairo, Egypt
The pharaohs built things to last. That's why the name of Cheops has survived for 4,500 years. After all, nothing says "Cheops was here" like a 450-foot-high pile of stones weighing 6 million tons and covering 13 acres. This Great Pyramid is the oldest, and last surviving, member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It bakes under the desert sun in the western suburbs of Cairo, surrounded by nine smaller siblings and the inscrutable gaze of the Sphinx. An old Arab proverb holds that "Man fears Time, but Time fears the Pyramids."
GETTING THERE: Direct EgyptAir flights from New York to Cairo cost roughly $800, plus a $15 visa fee paid upon arrival. Taxis downtown are $10 (be firm on the price) and buses cost 50¢. Giza and the pyramids are an hour's bus ride (12¢ on air-conditioned minibuses #83 or #183), or 40 minutes in a taxi ($7, with airconditioning), from Cairo's main Tahrir Square, where relics from ancient times are housed in the Egyptian Museum. But in this case, an air/hotel package trumps going solo. One of the best deals in traveldom is Misr Travel's $899 package from New York.
YOU MADE IT: Admission is $3.24 and covers the entire site: the Great Pyramid, two slightly smaller ones, seven teensy Queens' Pyramids, and the Sphinx. Shimmying into a burial chamber costs another $8 to $16, depending on the pyramid you choose, but involves a long, crouching shuffle down a steep passage less than four feet high. Claustrophobes will want to pass.
WHO KNEW? The Great Pyramid of Cheops (his Greek name; the Egyptian name is Khufu) releases only 150 tickets each morning for burial-chamber visits, and another 150 at 1 p.m. Unfortunately, tour buses scoop up the first batch by 8 a.m. Solution: Arrive mid-morning, explore the grounds, then line up by 12:30 p.m. to snag an afternoon entry. Better yet, pay $13 to hire a taxi for the day and get there early. You can then drive just a few miles farther to Saqqara, Dahshur, or any of the other pyramid sites in the surrounding valley which, unlike crowded Giza, you can have virtually to yourself. --Reid Bramblett
Taj Mahal Agra, India
When his wife died in 1631, Emperor Shah Jahan was so bereaved that he spent 22 years-and most of his empire's riches-on this elaborate tomb, a tribute to love and mild insanity. His subjects locked him up for profligacy, but these days the Shah is most remembered as a romantic for the ages. Travelers who behold this soothingly symmetrical architectural ode report a sense of accomplishment, for there are few world monuments to match it for exotica and beauty. And-surprise!-if you've got the nerve to forge through chaotic Indian crowds, the Taj is reachable on a simple plane/train combo.
GETTING THERE: Flying out of New York, San Francisco, or Toronto yields the best chance at a markdown. Hari World Travel, operating in five North American cities, can arrange flights to New Delhi, the nearest gateway, for under $900 (212/997-3300). Don't forget to bring a visa ($30, indianembassy.org). Once you land, take one of several competing airport shuttle buses (about $1.30) to New Delhi's main train station, and from there grab one of the many daily trains on Indian Railways (indianrail.gov.in), the world's largest employer, southeast to Agra. The express ride is two-and-a-half hours (slow trains take up to twice as long); prices float illogically between $6 and $12. Spring for first-class seats with air-conditioning, especially when the heat spikes, from April to October. A rickshaw from Agra station to the Taj should cost just a buck or two (always settle on a price before boarding). The package alternative: Djoser's guided 20-day India and Nepal tour hits Agra on days eight and nine. It costs $2,095, including airfare, leaving Los Angeles from February to May (877/356-7376, djoserusa.com).
YOU MADE IT: Indian citizens pay 55¢ to enter the grounds (and they stay there all day, picnicking and hanging out), but you must pony up $20. Respectfully cover your legs with breathable pants-it's a Muslim burial site, which also means it's closed Fridays--and if you want to mount the plinth and pad around the polished inner sanctum that's inlaid with semiprecious stones (you do), you'll have to leave your shoes with an attendant. Tons of basic lodgings, of the type patronized by the Indian middle class and Western shoestringers, are in the adjoining Taj Ganj neighborhood and cost but $4.40 a night. After seeing the Taj, lots of tourists spin around and return to Delhi-you shouldn't. About a mile west, Shah Jahan's home, the Red Fort, still dazzles with its regal austerity, and 23 miles west of Agra, don't miss the fabulous palatial city of Fatehpur Sikri, built from scratch by the Mughals in the late 1500s and abruptly abandoned 14 years later.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
I used to go to El Torito just for their corn cakes. They were wonderfully sweet and were an excellent foil for the spicier Mexican food. I am always looking for ways to introduce chocolate to different foods, but especially Mexican cuisine as that's where the whole chocolate culture originated. I was thrilled when I came up with a way to add chocolate to corn.
Keep them all guessing and don't tell anyone that your secret ingredient in these corn cakes is white chocolate—really, WHITE CHOCOLATE. This tender and delicious corn cake can be easily made and served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have served it for dessert (don't laugh) with cinnamon ice cream and a drizzle of cinnamon-spiced chocolate syrup on top. But, then again, I put chocolate in or on most anything.
To serve, scoop out each portion with an ice cream scoop or rounded spoon and enjoy.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 1 Hour
Ready In: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Yield: Serves 6 to 8 people
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup Choclatique Snowy White Chocolate, melted
1/3 cup masa harina
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter and the white chocolate with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the masa harina and water until well combined.
- Put the corn in a blender or food processor and coarsely chop on low speed.
- Stir the corn and the cornmeal into the butter mixture.
- In another bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt and baking powder. Combine the two mixtures until well blended.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 8 x 8 pan.
- Cover the pan with foil and place into a 9 x 13 inch pan filled 3/4 inch high with hot water creating a water bath.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the cake comes out nearly clean.
- Remove small pan from water bath and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
ChefSecret: Why should I use a water bath? A water bath improves the custardy texture of the corn cake and also helps prevent surface cracking. Baking the corn cake in a water bath will keep the oven moisture high and generate a gentler heat.

The smartphone maker will sell gear on one of China's biggest online malls.
Mark Brohan
One of the biggest mass merchandise and web-only retailers in China wants to sell gear from Nokia Corp., and lots of it.
360Buy.com, also known in China as JingDong Mall and a business-to-consumer marketplace selling online since 2004, has signed an agreement with Nokia, a manufacturer of smartphones and related accessories, to procure 2 billion yuan, or $321 million, of gear to sell online in 2013.
For 360Buy.com, which says it has more than 60 million registered users and a network of nearly 10,000 suppliers across China, the deal expands the retailer's consumer electronics inventory. For Nokia, the deal means the manufacturer has a much bigger electronic commerce channel to sell smartphones online in China. "The partnership will make 360Buy Nokia's largest e-commerce partner in China," the retailer says.
Nokia has established a web store on 360Buy's consumer marketplace. The web store lets consumers search for Nokia smartphones by type, price and operating system. Shoppers can also sort and purchase a smartphone voice and data subscription by carrier, purchase additional minutes and buy accessories, such as cases. "Through partnering with Nokia, 360Buy will allow customers to buy their latest handsets as soon as they become available," Nokia says. "In addition, Nokia's newly launched e-store on 360Buy.com will complement traditional distribution channels such as proprietary shops and license vendors."
The deal with Nokia caps off a busy end of the year for 360Buy.com. In October the online retailer launched an English-language version of its site to sell Chinese manufactured goods in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and elsewhere.

Justice Scalia saw the need for tailoring as proof that EPA's Triggering Rule was mistaken.
Clean Air Rules: A New Roadmap for the Power Sector
How new market-based regulations fit with today's programs.
The nationwide cap-and-trade program to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emissions from the power sector under the Acid Rain Program has earned widespread acclaim through dramatic SO 2 emission reductions, far-ranging environmental and human health benefits, and far lower-than-expected costs. The similarly-modeled program to reduce ozone season nitrogen oxide (NO X) emissions in the eastern United States, the NO X Budget Trading Program, has achieved comparable success on a regional scale (see sidebar "Emissions Trading: In the Beginning,") .
These programs serve as the model for the next generation of regulations controlling emissions from the power sector—the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR). Under CAIR and CAMR, four new trading programs will begin in 2009 and 2010. More than 300 units will be facing federal SO 2 and NO X requirements for the first time under CAIR, and all of the approximately 1,300 units under CAMR will face their first federal mercury requirements.
Emissions monitoring and reporting requirements are the leading edge of both of these programs: NO X monitoring and reporting begins in 2008 for all units, and SO 2 and mercury monitoring and reporting begins in 2009.
A great deal of implementation-related activity is already underway. Many states have submitted CAIR and CAMR state plans. The power sector has begun actively installing pollution controls and making other compliance preparations, and the SO 2 allowance market already has begun responding to anticipated changes under CAIR.
The Clean Air Visibility Rule (CAVR) also plays into these plans, but on a longer time horizon, with impact on a broader range of sources.
What do these three programs require of the power sector, and where are we on the road to implementation? Figure 1 provides an implementation timeline.
The Clean Air Interstate Rule
Building on the Acid Rain and NO X Budget Trading programs, EPA finalized CAIR in 2005, requiring further reductions in 28 Eastern states and the District of Columbia. CAIR will reduce region-wide SO 2 by approximately 70 percent and NO X by approximately 60 percent from 2003 levels to prevent significant contribution to nonattainment in downwind ozone and PM2.5 nonattainment areas. CAIR includes emissions budgets for each jurisdiction based on application of highly cost-effective controls to fossil fuel-fired electric generating units in model cap-and-trade programs with two phases of reductions. However, states have discretion in deciding which sources to control to meet the budget, and whether to participate in the federally run cap-and-trade programs delineated in the model rules.

Cashmere Fabric
Highly reveled as the top tier of wools, Cashmere is actually a hair obtained from the cashmere goat in addition to others. Softer than traditional wool, this material also remains smoother and lighter with remarkable insulation properties. Cashmere's silken hand is achieved by the separation of the goat's underdown hair from the coarse guard hair adding to the quality and expense of the textile. Mood has an impressive collection of quality Cashmere in a wide variety in pattern, color and designer brands.

Welcome to Modeets
We are an online review site dedicated to bringing you honest and detailed reviews on a wide range of ergonomic products. Founded in 1995, our team of experts, including orthopedists, chiropractors and physical therapists have been evaluating home and office products for their value in improving and maintaining the health of their users.
Over the past two decades, there have been significant achievements in the area of office furniture. As we have transitioned into a society of desk-based occupations, people have become more mindful of the health issues that have arisen due to office lifestyles. Designers have responded in kind.
Here are some examples of the products we review here at Modeets:
Kneeling Chairs
Kneeling chairs have recently become one of the most popular office furniture pieces. They're valued for their innovative design, which provides you added relief for the lower spine. The increased angle between your upper and lower bodies gives more space to your hip area, which is directly connected to the lower vertebrae of the spine. You will feel the difference right away.
In addition, kneeling chairs are designed to encourage proper posture. The absence of a high back rest, requires the sitter to sit upright, with the vertebrae stack upon each other. This position is easier on the muscles of the spine and ensures a health posture that will preserve the integrity of your spine.
Ball Chairs
Ball chairs have been adapted from exercise balls, also known as Swiss or yoga balls. This chair offers you many benefits – Like with the kneeling chair, you'll automatically come into perfect vertical posture. The lack of a back rest, discourages slouching and reclining.
In addition, sitting on a ball chair requires balance in 360 degrees of rotation. This yields the additional benefit of strengthening the core muscle groups, including your abdominals, obliques, and lumbar. You'll be able to get a work out while you work. This product can be used by people in all ages.
Inversion Tables
Inversion tables are an effective form of therapy for those with back pain. Under the constant pressure due to gravity, the spine bears a heavy burden. Over time, the spinal vertebrae begin to compress the interverterbal discs. This effects in extremely painful injuries such as bulging discs and herniation.
Inversion tables have been clinically shown to treat these injuries and relieve back pain. With your felt held securely, the table allows you to rotate to varying degrees of inversion. You'll feel a soothing full-body stretch from your ankles to the top of your spine. Not only does this feel great, but is effective in treating chronic back pain.
