Laurier launches Strategic Investment Fund
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Aug 19/10
Wilfrid Laurier University is committed to supporting the very best initiatives that support student success, improve academic and administrative operations, and further the universitys mission.
During Lauriers 2010-11 budget process, 0.5 percent of base funds were reallocated to establish a new Strategic Investment Fund. This fund provides $730,000 this fiscal year to support initiatives that strengthen and enhance the universitys academic and administrative operations, and which align with Lauriers new Academic Plan and the Universitys statement of Values, Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles.
"It is essential that we provide opportunities for new ideas to take root at Laurier, said president and vice-chancellor Dr. Max Blouw. We want to purposefully augment and develop our academic programs, support student success, and improve administrative operations in ways that clearly align with the University's mission. The Strategic Investment Fund will provide funding to the very best initiatives as proposed by our faculty and staff.
The University invites members of the Laurier community to propose initiatives that could be funded through the Strategic Investment Fund. Applications that support our academic mission; improve administrative service and organizational outcomes; contribute to enhanced academic student recruitment, retention and student success; show capacity for sustainability and future development; identify assessment and accountability measures; and have an impact institution-wide and/or a broad impact externally will be favoured.
Application forms can be found by clicking here. Applicants are advised to discuss all applications with their unit supervisors (deans, university librarian, assistant/associate vice-presidents, directors and equivalents). The deadline for submitting applications is Sept. 14, 2010. All applications will be evaluated by the Universitys Vice-Presidents and President and allocation decisions will be announced to the Laurier community by early October.
The Strategic Investment Fund is distinct from the Presidents Innovation Seed Fund, a separate initiative launched in 2009 to support innovative proposals that generate new revenue for the university and/or reduce operating costs.

NC Becomes Latest State to Threaten Tesla's Direct Sales to Customers

Bill sponsor received $8,000 in campaign donations from the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association
Living in the
Research Triangle Park
(RTP) area of North Carolina, which I nickname Silicon Valley East, I quite frequently see Tesla Model S sedans and Roadsters silently cruising down city streets and interstates. However, the North Carolina Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a measure that would make it
illegal for Tesla Motors to sell vehicles directly to customers
without the ever-present "middleman" in new car transactions: car dealerships.
Not surprisingly, the NC Automobile Dealers Association (which represents North Carolina's franchised car dealership) is behind this latest stab at Tesla. But according to NC ADA President Robert Glasser, this isn't an attack specifically aimed at Tesla. Glasser notes that the precedent Tesla has set for direct sales could set into motion a chain of events that would topple the entire dealership model of business.
"We care about the franchise system," said Glaser. "The whole point of the retail system is to protect the consumer."
Of course, Tesla Motors sees things quite differently. "They're trying to insulate the dealer franchise model from any competition," said Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's VP of Corporate and Business Development. "It's a protectionist move to lock down the market so we have to go through the middleman – the dealer – to sell our cars."
And here's an interesting tidbit that shines a whole new light on the story.
reports that Sen. Tom Apodaca, the Republican sponsor of the bill, received $8,000 in campaign donations (the maximum allowed by state law) from the NC ADA.
It's pretty clear to see why dealerships are shaking in their boots at the prospect of Tesla (and other auto manufacturers) selling directly to customers. Tesla managed to deliver a whopping
4,750 Model S sedans to customers during the month of April
. Compared to other luxury sedans that also dance in the $70,000 to $100,000+ price range, the Model S outpaced monthly sales of the Audi A8 (1,462 units), BMW 7-Series (2,338), Lexus LS (2,860) and Mercedes S Class (3,077).
Tesla Model S
Tesla has sold 80 Model S sedans in North Carolina and has an additional 60 orders in queue from residents. The overwhelming majority of those sales have come via the internet.
And one could argue that an electric vehicle like the Model S needs less attention from dealerships due to the much lower maintenance needs of the electric motor and battery pack. Quite simply, there is potentially less to go wrong with a Model S compared to BMW 750i with its twin-turbocharged V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite this new speed bump in Tesla's road to electric vehicle proliferation, the company has been showered with a wealth of good news in the past week. Last week, Tesla reported its
first profit in its ten years of existence
Consumer Reports
gave the Model S a
near perfect rating
: 99 out of 100 possible points.
stock is up 57 percent
since its quarterly earnings were released last Thursday to just under $90/share.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Skip to comments.Van Jones Celebrates Ted Cruzs Humiliating Defeat on CNN
Posted on 10/16/2013 11:01:12 AM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
In light of a deal struck by Senate leaders to reopen the government and avoid default on the countrys debt, CNNs Van Jones cheered what he viewed as a humiliating defeat for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who expressed his dissatisfaction with the compromise, while saying he would not take steps to block it.
Jones appeared on CNN shortly after the Senate announcement along with his Crossfire co-host Newt Gingrich. Wolf Blitzer began by asking the former Speaker of the House if he would have voted for this legislation if he were still in Congress. I have no idea, Gingrich said, explaining that he would need to see the fine print on the bill before making an assessment.
Van Jones, meanwhile, hailed the bill as a big deal that could ultimately affirm the governability of the United States. He praised heroes who worked behind the scenes like Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in contrast to Cruz, who went down to a humiliating defeat today as he deserved.
But for Gingrich, today is a very sad day for America, because the president adopted a strategy of vilifying his opponents and refusing to negotiate and it worked. Without fixing the Affordable Care Act or entitlements, Gingrich said we were just kicking the can down the road.
Naturally, Jones saw things differently, commending President Obama for refusing to negotiate with a party that has been hijacked by its far right-wing. He added, The president stood up to the bullying. Im proud of the president today. Im proud Harry Reid today. Im proud of McConnell today. Im proud of Amy Klobuchar. I think Ted Cruz should be ashamed of himself.
Jones summed up his point like this: Nobody wins today, but Ted Cruz loses today.
Wanna drown?
Just keep letting the other guy continue to push your head under water until you give up, not out of pain but, an inability to fight on and end someone's aggression against you.
This will all be explained away by certain irrelevancies about being "smart and strategic".
Make Bammy put back all his waivers and exemptions and make sure they go in effect January 1.
Youll see a tidal wave GOP win after 11 months of original recipe Bammycare. Delaying it a year means nobody get to feel the pain prior to the election.
Its time America gets the goobermint they voted for. Instead , the morons in the GOP will save Democrats from themselves.
The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.-Abraham Lincoln
The article lost me on the first sentence.
Not raising the debt ceiling does not equal default.
Even with the Dems wanting default the next interest payment isn't due until 15 Nov. and IT WOULD BE PAID WITH TREASURY RECEIPTS, no action by politicians required.
Equating not going into more debt to = defaulting on debt IS A HUGE PROPAGANDA WIN FOR DEMS.
2 or 3 men don't make an army to fight a on large battlefield. We all knew the Reps would cave, it was only a matter of time.
Van Jones can go fukushima himself
The U.S. just got its EBT card recharged. Time to head to WalMart and the liquor store.
The only 'default' is the GOP leadership's inability to have a spine. Polls and public opinion rule the land even if it means choosing to do the wrong thing because the public cannot think for themselves.
I think your humiliating defeat of having to drop out as "environmental advisor" to president zero due to your association with communists and your zeal for the communist line was wonderful. I guess you didn't want them digging deeper into your commie affairs, eh, dude?
Humiliating? Cruz is still on the job, sucker, and you aren't.
Politicians have just played their usual game of "kick the can down the road" and Cruz will still be harassing obama and Valerie for the rest of their term.
CNN who? No one's watching....not even at the airports.
Cee Ya in Jan Van
I just wish Cruz would do one thing. Demand an apology from Reid or slow it down.
If the Tea Party in congress doesn't get rid of boner, they now fall into the "worthless" category.
And who is Van Jones. A smug black communists.
What would you expect from Valarie Jarrett's favorite Communist?
And if I was on the opposite side of the table, when it came time for a reply, I would always preface it with pointing out that Van Jones is a communist.
'Tis better to have tried in vain, Sincerely striving for a goal, Than to have lived upon the plain An idle and a timid soul.
'Tis better to have fought and spent
Your courage, missing all applause,
Than to have lived in smug content
And never ventured for a cause.
For those who try and fail may be
The founders of a better day;
Though never theirs the victory,
From them shall others learn the way. ... Edgar Guest
I will tell you the single biggest surprise in arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here. I mean, we don't even talk about how to win a fight. There's no discussion. We talk about, "Hey, let's get a show vote so we can go tell our constituents we're doing something." But I promise you, Rush, if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you'd be in therapy for a month ... but they've been here a long time, and they're beaten down, and they don't believe we can win. They don't believe it can happen, and the answer they say on every issue is, "No, we can't do it. We can't do it."
This is the dawn of a new day, with new leadership coming to the GOP in 2014. Imagine Senate Majority Leader Cruz being sworn in January, 2015.
If real fighting starts... van jones will not be around to run his mouth. These people want what will destroy them.
I am a little confused here, and I think that is the plan to confuse people like me.
First of all this is CNN reporting which means it can't be trusted. But I have more than just a mistrust and more than just a mind for conspiracy.
The above is a link that just 15 minutes ago was listed on Google Finance but no longer appears.
In that link CNN is touting an end to the shutdown and debt ceiling deal. But here are the key words:
"House lawmakers have not yet decided on when to vote on the Senate bill, according to a spokesperson for majority leader John Boehner."
So I have the sense that CNN is propagandizing and trying to 'shape' views, opinions and project conclusions.
I blame us. Cruz put his reputation and all his future potential to join the good ole boy fraternity on the line. We should have been at least a million strong storming DC to support him. Screw that "conservatives have jobs" meme. Fewer and fewer people of any stripe have jobs, and even fewer are going to have jobs which will support them and their families in any meaningful way. Those vets in wheelchairs and missing legs and arms had jobs too, but they were there in DC. I blame myself. It's great to be a keyboard warrior, send a few bucks here or there, and consider yourself to have made a real contribution and be "down for the cause".
The men in Valley Forge left bloody footprints in the snow.
We talk about being "locked and loaded". Most people these days are so isolated in spite of our great so-called "connectivity" in the "virtual universe". We are atomised, and that works for the ones dividing and conquering. Paul Revere got his azz on a horse and rode for miles, calling real live humans to action,
Tribulation is coming. May God have mercy on us, because the justice we deserve is too horrible to contemplate.
For all you who are offended, I put myself at the top of the list of those who should've been there.
What kind of tune will the media Obamafarts be tooting in another year of two? The smart ones are running from the embarrassment now.
CNN is not doing so hot themselves. They just got pulled a few weeks ago in markets in 19 states because of inability for them and Cableone to come to terms.
I hate to pop Van Jone's bubble, but Cruz wasn't the looser....we the American public is....but don't worry, this government has OBAMA written all over it, and that is his legacy: Another Jimmy Carter, worst president in all of American History....
"..If the Tea Party in congress doesnt get rid of boner, they now fall into the worthless category..."
The Congress in general, is a total failure. They have held NOBODY, not even Obama, accountable in real terms for any of the total financial, political and governmental destruction that has been deliberately put upon America and its people. How bad does it have to get???
Once again the republicans have agreed to kick responsibility down the road for a handful of empty promises.
Hell, Boehner, McConnell, McLame, et al. won't make Bammy even abide by The Constitution, so they're not going to make him do anything. Besides, Boehner doesn't want to miss happy hour.
Boehner will not put the deal up for a vote unless a majority of Republicans support it because he knows he will be ousted as speaker if he does.
The white house is celebrating what? Did congress vote yet?
We'll see who has the last laugh commie.
jones is a communist pig
I don't see how Cruz lost. He accomplished his objective in awakening the grass roots.
Check his popularity with conservatives....then tell me he failed!!!
There is no deal yet. I really shouldn't have to tell freepers not to believe the incessant lies of the drive-by media and the White Hut.
The world's upside down.
Ted Cruz was not defeated.
The GOPe committed suicide.
They are toast.
He who laughs last...
So... if they wanted to, how and when could they replace Boehner?
Gingrich response was impressive. How can anyone celebrate another "secret" deal.
"Humiliating? Cruz is still on the job, sucker, and you arent."
Don't be fooled. Van Jones is still heavily involved as an adviser to Obama behind the scenes.

ACORN is Back!

Lawyer Estelle H. Rogers, director of advocacy at ACORN-affiliated Project Vote, has met with a senior aide to Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and with Van Jones's former chief of staff."

LOL I am glad Cruz is sitting inside the heads of Obama, Jones, and the rest of the commies in Washington. Reminds me of how they spazzed all over Palin. I love it!!
Senator Ted Cruz....you are the best!!
I wonder how Mitch feels today, knowing that he has been forced out of his closet? Cruz lost a battle, but he has unmasked many conservatives. Down here in Texas John Cornyn is running adds like crazy trying to prove to many who know better that he is a conservative. And it is not about just strategy. It is about goals. We know now that many Republicans like the lady senator from New Hampshire does not have repeal of ACA as a goal. The same is true about the other moderates in the senate. What they said in 2012 was just empty talk. What they say about 2014 is just empty talk. What they will say about 2016 will be just empty talk. Give us the Senate, they say, and we will act. Give us all three branches, they say, and we will act. We dont have the votes, they say. But they never will have enough. Their refusal to offer alternatives to Obamacare means they do not have a plan, and they have no plan because they do not intend to overturn it.
For the first time in his life, this nigga {it's OK if you use "a" instead of "er", 'cause everyone knows that nigga is just another word for man} is proud to be a communist living in America.
What's humiliating about shining a light on rats and cockroaches?
On the other hand, we have the glaring incompetence - that represents this entire administration - with the highly-touted zerocare rollout.
If you're looking for utter and complete humiliation, that's where you'll find it.
Nobody wins today, but Ted Cruz loses today.
Not true. The stasi/commies won today.
I believe it's only another word for man if it's not in cursive.
Yes, Mitch you are experienced in putting things behind you...
Cruz's humiliating defeat!?! Hardly.
This was never about winning and losing Van, but resistance. The die was cast by virtue of the numbers. But in my book Mr. Cruz and Lee (and others) did all they could. The fought the good fight and that was all I could expect. The rest of the Republican party did what I expected them to do as well, cave in fear.
The real loser today is the Carl Rove wing of the party. A wing that stands ready to fight until, of course, a fight breaks out. The Rove wing is held hostage inside the Beltway and fed only the siren song of the Beltway media. Puppets on a string shrinking in fear of dissaproval from a media that hates them. Earth to Rove Wing, you will find a hot reception when you come down from the Olympus Beltway. Good luck winning elections without the base.

Christine Jensen and Barbra Jones welcomed a large crowd to the Festive Friday held in October. The theme was Round Tuit and a 'round tuit' was given to each person who attended.
Many great ideas for Halloween entertaining were given with cheese balls, or Frankenstein and pumpkin shaped cheese balls, and crackers being served along with the Best Ever Sloppy Joes.
The cheese balls were made from eight ounces of cream cheese mixed with two cups sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese balls were colored with food coloring, depending on which one was made, and decorated with fresh vegetables and olives. Frankenstein had olive slices for hair, red pepper slices for his mouth, and carrot rings for his eyes. The pumpkin had a dill pickle for the stem.
Cassie Thatcher led the craft portion of the day which was making a washer necklace. Ordinary hardware washers were used, then covered with scrapbook paper, and coated with Diamond Glaze. A string and beads were added when the necklace was dry to complete the inexpensive, cute jewelry.
The next Festive Friday will be held Nov. 19 at noon in the courthouse on the second floor. It is sponsored by the Utah State University Extension office in Emery County.

Fairweather was 76 years old and at the height of his powers when he painted House by the sea. This is one of his most expressive and deeply felt paintings. Fairweather's work does not belong to any particular group of artists. Instead it evolved gradually over time into a visual language that was distinctively his own. It was a language informed by European modernism—by Cézanne and Cubism—and especially by Chinese calligraphy. Compared with the prevailing fascination with Zen Buddhism and gestural calligraphy in the work of some Abstract Expressionists in the 1950s and 1960s, Fairweather's approach was shaped by his firsthand experience.
The artist's fascination with the Chinese language and study of calligraphy began when he was incarcerated during the First World War, and intensified when he lived and worked in China between 1929 and 1933.[1] In an interview with James Gleeson, Fairweather said that House by the sea referred to Shanghai (which means 'place by the sea') where he had lived more than 30 years earlier.[2] Murray Bail writes of the affinities between the painting and the place where Fairweather lived in Shanghai, overlooking the bustling Soochow Creek:
In seizing the spirit of the place he is rendering an experience … Hectic lines summarise not the infrastructure, but the effect of jumbled bridges, river life, ramshackle constructions and passages: another treatment—no longer aerial, more distant, facing the Chinese quarter? —of Soochow Creek the ever-shifting scene which was laid out each day below his Shanghai window. We can begin to enter broadly into this brushed painting; there is light and depth and a glimpse of 'water' (along the right).[3]
Fairweather's working environment on Bribie Island, Queensland, where he painted House by the sea in the late 1960s, was his antipodean house in the bush near the ocean. This locality also gave shape and substance to the energy, robustness and earthy aspects of the painting. His working space on the island was often filled with multiple paintings, all in progress, evolving like a vast web of connections. The individual works were like a microcosm of the macrocosm. The paint in House by the sea is applied layer upon layer, concealing and revealing dark and light, the small rivers of paint at the base adding to the painterliness of the composition, the drawn black line finding circular forms and pathways and loose structures across the whole.
House by the sea is a tour de force because it is an abstraction of experience, memory and the present, which mesh organically in the painting process. In the end, if the house is a metaphor for ground and sanctuary, and the sea for spaciousness, the painting is more about the art itself than any specific dwelling or place. For the art was Fairweather's real habitat—the environment in which he could express his innermost self, his true spiritual home.

[1] 'I began my studies of Chinese calligraphy then … The Chinese characters sort of get a grip on you.' Ian Fairweather in an interview with John Hetherington, Bribie Island, 1962. Recalling his time in China, Fairweather remarked: 'The Chinese have quite a different idea of painting from us. The movement, the stroke of the brush … It's given me a sensitiveness towards line that I didn't have.'

Ferron City Clerk Adele Justice recently received an award honoring her achievement in becoming a certified clerk. She has spent many hours in training to accomplish this honor.
Representatives from the state board were on hand at the last Ferron City meeting to present Justice with a recognition plaque and honor her for her hard work.
Ferron City covered a number of issues during their meeting. Council member Trent Jackson reported the scarecrow contest is underway and prizes will be given out as the scarecrows are judged before Halloween. Joe Trenery, council member said they are trying to get a Safe Sidewalks grant and they haven't heard back if they are successful in obtaining this grant yet.
The board of equalization approved a change on the billing for a rental home.
During the public comments period, Windy Larsen approached the council with an update on her new business of dog grooming. She said she has been inspected by the fire marshal and the county building inspector Sunrise Engineering. She has taken the action recommended by these parties and would like to obtain her business license. Larsen was instructed the next planning and zoning meeting will be on Nov. 2 and to bring all her documentation and records for the completed work to the meeting.
The council moved into a public hearing to receive input on the annexation of property on Bowden Lane into Ferron. Lane Justice said he saw the annexation as a good thing and will allow people to stay here and build their homes.
A public hearing was held on the budget amendments. Some increases of revenue were added to the budget. A grant for the fire department wasn't included in the budget. An increase was made to the planning and zoning budget to allow for expenses related to the annexation process.
The annexation was approved as well as the budget revisions.
Ferron City discussed the banning of the substance spice. The council decided to ban spice and will work on an ordinance for the city. There have been some problems at San Rafael Junior High concerning spice and kids mistaking spice for actual marijuana and vice versa.
The council discussed participating in Tree USA, if they decide to participate they will need to enact a tree ordinance, form a tree board and have a tree budget. The city will also be eligible for grants for the purchase of trees for the city. The council will think it over.
The council discussed problem trees in the town that are blocking sidewalks and have become hazards. The council will send a letter asking all residents to check their trees and trim them to make sure they don't obstruct the sidewalks and views at intersections.
The council approved the pick-up day for garbage be changed from Friday to Thursday. This will be enacted to accommodate the garbage truck driver.
The council considered the community impact board short term project list. This list of projects goes to the Southeastern Utah Association of Governments to present projects to the CIB. Ferron City would like to see a new baseball field added to the project list. Other projects include: Ferron water treatment plant; water storage projects; and community center. The council will look into the costs of new ball fields and put it on the list.
Mayor JoAnn Behling asked the council to consider a request from the Division of Wildlife Services to allow a special bow hunt within city limits to eliminate problem doe deer. The council agreed the deer need to be thinned out and eliminated from town, but a bow hunt will cause too many problems and issues with trespassing and safety. Mayor Behling advised she will speak with the DWR again and look for a solution to the deer problem within the city.
Mayor Behling said a work session is needed for the planning and zoning and the council to discuss water share requirements.
Water shares for new building are being purchased from the city and sometimes water shares are turned in to cover the water, but more often the shares are being purchased. This could cause a shortage of water shares in the future.
Water shares are scarce and expensive and the city doesn't want to run short on water for existing needs. The council said water is always a source of concern and they need to have a plan in place to accommodate growth and take care of the city water needs.
Since 2006, 16 homes have been constructed that didn't turn in water shares. Two water shares are required for each home.
Currently the Ferron water agreement with the canal company states you can buy the water from the city or turn in two water shares. The council will look at the agreement to see if it needs to be changed back to turning in water shares only or some other solution.
The council voted to put a moratorium on future subdivisions for up to six months to get a handle on the water situation.

Notes: Several different sequences from a S. pneumoniae pA promoter region were cloned into the pSP-luc+ vector and screened for expression levels in in vitro transcription/translation systems. The RiboMAX™ SP6 Large Scale RNA Production System was used to transcribe luciferase encoding mRNAs. Luciferase mRNAs and plasmids were used as templates in high throughput inhibition studies in an S. pneumoniae S30 extract described in the paper as well as in Promega's E. Coli S30 Extract System for Circular DNA and in Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate. Promega amino acid mixtures were also used in these studies. (3227)

Notes: In this paper, the effect of the novel antibiotic GS7128 on translation was determined in cell-free systems. The effective concentration for inhibition of translation was determined for both prokayotes and eukaryotes by translating β-galactosidase from a pGEM® vector in E. coli S30 extracts, and luciferase control RNA in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. It was determined that GS7128 partially inhibits initiation and can fully inhibit elongation of peptides by blocking the peptidyl transferase reaction. GS7128 was shown to bind ribosomes differently than any other characterized antibiotic. GS7128 resistant mutants were not resistant to any other antimicrobial agents. (2686)

A Paper Love Story
In traditional American gift-giving, a couple's first-year anniversary calls for paper. But how does a creative type make something original while still giving a nod to traditional culture? Art Director Ariele Rosch found the answer in a short film she made for her husband Peter to commemorate the day. In it, a paper doll comes to life and embarks on a paper-plane adventure, bumping into a fellow traveler. You know the rest of the story. With a crash and a boom they fall in love.
It's a beautifully sweet video that made me smile today. I particularly love the wild camera angles that give the simple images a lot more weight. If you're not adept at stop motion animation, don't feel like you can't give an original present to your paramour. Take a cue from Rosch, and with any paper gift, use the first leaf to draw a picture or write a letter that they'll want to keep forever.
What's the best anniversary present you've ever heard of?

I'm considering buying the Kohler K-3466 San Raphael Toilet with Conceiled Trapway. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it.
Kohler claims this is the *new* San Raphael with the "redesigned Ingenium Flushing System" which has the siphon jet: http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/detail.jsp?item=6240102&prod_num=3466&module=Toilets
My other alternative is a Toto, probably Carlyle. I really like the way this Kohler looks, though.

News and Notes from Wednesday's Presser
Ryan Pike
July 18 2012 01:51PM
The Calgary Flames held a media availability on Wednesday at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Here is what was discussed in no particular order:
- Roman Cervenka (pronounced "Sher-venka") was introduced to the media formally in what may have been his first visit to Calgary. He'll wear #10 and Blake Comeau will be finding a new number for next season. Through a translator, Cervenka explained that he was born on the tenth (December 10), he wore #10 growing up and his father wore the same number when he played. According to Feaster, Cervenka requested the jersey number.
- In terms of leaving the KHL and coming to North America, Cervenka (via translator) explained that it was always his dream to play in the NHL. He praised the skill level of the KHL (saying it was a "very, very good league") but that it's not at the level of the NHL. He also praised Calgary as a strong hockey town and noted that the Flames were the best organization for him to arrive with in the NHL.
- Feaster noted that the club is making "progress" with their final remaining restricted free agent, goaltender Leland Irving. He also noted that Karri Ramo is expected to be staying in the Kontinental Hockey League for the final season on his contract with Avangard Omsk.
- The Flames are at 48 NHL contracts, including Irving, which Feaster admits somewhat ties their hands in regards to roster moves. The club was previously waiting for the trade market to open up as expected following the July 1 free agent frenzy. While that hasn't happened, they appear to still be hoping to make some deals to free up contracts.
Feaster mentioned that the organization has identified some players that they don't really have in their plans going forward, so they may be looking to make some moves. He cited "45 or 46" as the number of contracts he'd feel comfortable having on the books headed into the season.
- It was also noted that the Flames' atrocious face-off record last season (dead-last in the NHL) was one of the factors that led to the club pursuing Cervenka so aggressively. Feaster also explained that improving face-offs was also an influence on the hiring of the new coaching staff and is a major focus for next season.

That last comment is strange, given the fact that Cervenka player wing last year. According to an interview with him and Jagr, that's the position he prefers as well:
"Here in Russia centers are supposed to skate back and help their defensemen. We don't do this in Czech Republic. I didn't play defense over there. I like it better here because I play on the left wing and there's no problem."
Maybe Roman was a faceoff wiz previously?
Also, is there any evidence that a coaching staff has a marked effect on a team's faceoff ability?
"Feaster mentioned that the organization has identified some players that they don't really have in their plans going forward, so they may be looking to make some moves. He cited "45 or 46" as the number of contracts he'd feel comfortable having on the books headed into the season."
The players identified that they don't want to move forward with undoubtedly include Babchuk and Stajan - and the point remains, just how does/did Feaster expect there to be any sort of interest in players that are coming off such atrocious seasons. An 8th d-man, making 2.5m and what looked like a borderline NHL/AHL center carrying a 3.5m cap-hit (and 2.5m salary) for the next two seasons? I can't imagine ANY market developing that would see those players as movable assets. They'll be waiver wire material come October.
"...identified some players that they don't really have in their plans..."
What do you do with stuff you don't really have plans for anymore. It gets lost in the garage until a nice Saturday morning comes along and you try to sell it. Stajan and Babchuk 2 for 1 sale.
I am still dumbfounded that we signed Sarich to anything. Watching him for one more game, let alone 2 more years, is going to reflect badly on Feaster. He made us a laughing stock with that one.
I have to be honest, I kind of assumed they were done. A few too many 1ways, sure, (and almost 50 contracts, but what else is new?) but all for competition in camp/going for it (however ill-advised that may be).
Stajan and Babchuk are the obvious choices to be "not in the plans" but who else? Even with Stajan gone, there's only 1 forward position open, and it's probably going to Sven, which causes Comeau to line up on the 4th line (weird I know, but how else does it work?) Does this mean that they're looking to move Tanguay or Cammalleri? Or Glencross (bad idea)?
Thanks for covering it Ryan, nice job.
I agree it's odd Cervenka is being promoted as a centre and a faceoff man when he played mostly LW lately. However, top-2 line centres are what the Flames need and I propose this signing is Feaster's "we're smarter than you" move to show the rest of NHL he can get great players from odd places. Feaster is expecting (of course) that "Shervenka" will "tear it up" in 2012-13....thus all of this background noise serves to further justify the signing.
As for the 45-46 players signed comment, yes, that could refer to moving out Babchuk and Stajan should the new CBA allow some salary-cap-penalty-free moves. Or, it could me JayBo plus 2-3 more players are going to be traded for just 1-2 players.
The move to re-sign Sarich and some other moves were simply the Flames saying that for this role "this guy is the best default option out there without making a trade, so let's sign him before someone else does". That may theory may apply to Comeau "he's a nice little 3rd-liner with speed, grit, and scoring potential" and possibly others.
We bundled some cd packages the other day and put them on a buy and sell site. We didn't know if anyone wanted cd's anymore, especially some of what we were offering. Bidding started at $1 for each bundle. All were sold for more and the Abba bundle went for $9. The point is that perhaps some team will see some sort of value in our discards. Heck, a few years ago someone took on 4 very fringe players for an all-star defenseman, another young defenseman and a penalty killing fast forward so who knows? I also agree that Feaster would look at moving more contracts for less. Here's hoping.
Stajan will find a new home, there were enough losers in Free Agency someone is going to take a flyer on a 2.5 million Matt Stajan, In reality, thats what a lot of almst 3rd line guys are making these days.
Were I a Flames fan some of these comments would make me very nervous.
I'm not inherently a risk-taker, but Feaster's claims that Cervenka can open the season, and his rookie debut, as the first line center, with very little depth at that position to back him up, seems a little irresponsible.
As for getting the Flames down to 45 or 46 contracts, what might help there is if Feaster were to stop doling out clauses on them. It couldn't hurt.
Kent, I have heard some anecdotal (your favourite, I know) evidence from players saying that a particular coach here or there made a marked improvement in their faceoff ability.
As a caveat to that, though, Cervenka's obvious language barrier might hamper his ability to take away instructions from the coaching staff, to some extent. I also wonder if it impact his ability to play the center position as an orchestrator for that line's offensive positioning and such. Then again, I may be out to lunch.
Thanks for the summary.
I think the contracts Feaster is referring to are likely AHL players like Wahl and Walter.
With the addition of Street and the junior players entering the ranks they need to unload some bodies.
I think Feaster knows that unloading Stajan and Babchuk isn't going to be easy.
Like a couple of others, I made note of the comment about reducing the number of contracts to 45, 46.
I did attend the development camp and thought that the absence of two guys were conspicuous. Mitch Wahl and Bryan Cameron, both have had injury issues and have struggled mightily in their pro careers. Wahl with his concussion then the (requested?) move to Hamilton and subsequently to the ECHL last season. Cameron, I understand, also had injuries but then ended up in the ECHL.
Might it be that these are two on the bubble, as evidenced by their not being present at camp. Are they no longer being considered "prospects" by the club?
I don't think Wahl won much support within the organization with his request to play for another team's AHL affiliate. They tried to warn him that most teams are going to look out for their own prospects first when it comes to playing time. He might have been better off just soldiering on in the ECHL and trying to have a great season there, then crossing his fingers that something would open up in the AHL in the future. No one is outright saying it but I think he burned his bridges.
Since Cervenka and Hudler are friends off the ice it makes sense to play them together and see if that off-ice chemistry can translate. They speak the same language, Hudler's presence is going to help his friend assimilate. I'm sure it's not going to be a seamless transition and there will be bumps in the road; but if the stars all align there is some potential there. If Horak has a good showing at camp he might steal someone's job and we'll have an all-Czech forward unit. All three Czechs have played wing and center during their careers, which brings a much-wanted versatility factor.
I don't hate Stajan. Like so many others he just makes too much money and he carries an undeserved no-trade clause. It's not Matt's fault that Darryl gave all of that to him. He's shown flashes of being an effective player when given the right linemates and icetime. He's still a defensive liability at times, but since the Flames are stuck with him they should at least try to make use of his skill set. He's ill-suited to the role of a 4th line grinder/roleplayer. He's a playmaking center and far too soft for a grinding role.
Same goes for Babchuk. Feaster gave him too much and a dreaded NTC. I think both players need to have good camps or be forced to make an uncomfortable decision. A) Ride out the season in the pressbox. B) Accept a demotion to the AHL for playing time and teach the youngsters how to be good pros. C) Accept a trade to ANY team that wants them, be it the NHL or a European reassignment.
"I'm not inherently a risk-taker, but Feaster's claims that Cervenka can open the season, and his rookie debut, as the first line center, with very little depth at that position to back him up, seems a little irresponsible."
indeed, but there's actually more "back ups" for that plan than for Nugent-Hopkins being the Oilers' top center last year (of course, that ended up working out). If Cervenka flops, that spot could be taken by Cammalleri, Backlund, or even Stajan (if he sticks around). All three of those players have spent time as Iginla's center (yes, even Cammalleri).
Given his decent faceoff percentages in his limited time in the circle it's a shame Iginla himself isn't comfortable in the position. Instead of trying to find him a center we'd just have to find him some wingers.
Have to point out that Stajan manages to get himself north of the 50% cutoff line as often as not. A rarity in Calgary, I'm all for giving the poor man one last shot as top line center. Let him stay there a little while this time, develop some chemistry.
Hudler's there to help him out in the language area though. Never fear Rex!
@ Douglas
Mercy, I can breathe easy again. ;-)
The Oilers spent a few seasons trying the Czech linemate angle with Hemsky and a parade of countrymen. If it works, it works.
Horak, Hudler and Cervenka could be an interesting tryout, but Horak has to earn that spot.
Nugent-Hopkins was paired with Smyth to start the season so that Smyth could take the faceoffs. The Oilers had better depth, by my reasoning, at the start of the season with Gagner, Horcoff, Belanger and Lander all at center behind him. Gagner or Horcoff could move to 1st line center if things went haywire. It wasn't a backup of a true 1st line center, but how many teams have a spare one of those lying around.
While neither team can boast a spectacular lineup down the middle (yet), I would rank the Oilers center depth chart at the beginning of the 2011-2012 season higher than the Flames center depth chart for either last season or this. Sorry.
I'd like to think everyone not named Jarome or Miika have to earn their spots.
I really hope some of these kids come in and put some fear into the veterans. Complacency and what seems to be almost entitlement has plagued this team for too long. During the brightest stretches of last season there were kids in the lineup sharing their enthusiasm, passion and hunger with the vet. I hope (there's that word again) Hartley goes with the best guys for the job rather than just handing out roster spots based one experience and salary. If someone like Horak, Aliu or even a wild card like Howse have a killer camp I want them on the team. If that drives someone to the press box or the AHL, so be it.
I'm not really one to rally for change for the sake of change; but when the status quo keeps on failing it's time to try something different.
Anyone feel like a bit of butt kissing is going on? His name is Chervenka, not Cervenka. We are giving him Comeau's number. Speak directly to Cervenka, not the interpreter. Signing his friend. Agent interpreting for him. Etc.
I am probably just paranoid. Maybe their shoe is just untied. But they seem to be bent over in the middle of the room for some reason.
If you're right, then is there really any harm in making the organization look like the value their players and acquisitions? Given how the last three seasons have ended, Calgary is not exactly a prime landing spot for high-end free agents.
They want this guy to feel comfortable and fit in, they want this to be a success and not a failed experiment.
There is an outside chance Comeau wasn't all that attached to the number 10 to begin with. I have no idea what he wore in junior, but I do know that Blake wore the numbers 24 and 57 while playing for the Islanders. 57 was taken by Bouma when he arrived. Not sure off the top of my head if there was any reason he wouldn't or couldn't take 24.
"Speak directly to Cervenka, not the interpreter."
... this has nothing to do with anything. That's common practice. You address the person you're communicating with, not his interpreter. That's the way it's always been, and the way it always will be. It has nothing to do with "butt kissing." It's nothing more than telling someone not to talk with their mouth full.

It's going to be a very long winter here this year. :-(
I don't understand why these foreign players don't learn English. Alex Semin is a good example, he speaks mostly in Russian, and refuses to speak English. Be a team player - a good portion of your teammates speak English or French. Try to blend in instead of being an outsider.
Same for Cervenka. His days should consist of working out and crash coursing himself in English. He has almost 2 months to figure out the basics and then Hudler can guide him through the rest.
Cervenka is technically an NHL rookie, but I wouldn't call him one in general. He's 26/27 and has been playing in the 2nd best league for a couple years now - he's a rookie only in a technical sense. Two months of skating on North American ice, training camp, and pre-season should get him acclimatized.
That, and English lessons.
in the actual interview, he explicitly states that he's learning english.
his lack of knowlege in the language should be forgivable, considering this is the first time he's ever been in NA ever (except perhaps for some stints with the Czech national team, where English speaking wouldn't be necessary)
Thanks for the info Baalzamon.
I guess what I said sounded a bit harsh. I'm certainly not under the impression that Cervenka should come into Calgary having a PhD in the English language. It just seems like there's a rising number of players who are refusing to speak the language, out of fear it will change them or just plain laziness / not giving a hoot.
Perhaps it's a bit of xenophobia rising up in me when I see these guys unable to speak a lick of English and having to hope and pray that they actually attempt to pick some of it up.
Look at Semin, he's a total outsider, and nobody wants him. Part of his character issues involve the refusal to speak English and only hanging out with Russians (remember Semin, Varlamov, and Ovechkin got in trouble for laughing with Kovalchuk after a loss?).
Regarding the coaching staff having an influence on face-offs. Wouldn't it make sense for the Flames to hire Joel Otto as a special assignment coach to work with the forwards on face-offs? You would think he would be able to help the forwards improve their face-off techniques and strategies.

Perhaps you should brush up on your sentence structure skills. Your English could use some work as well so you don't include run on sentences.
Give the guy a break! Have you tried learning a second language?

I'm not trying to pile on here, but I just thought I'd bring up a point. I don't know if you have a second language or not. I have studied a few (and speak none, so I'm not bragging here) and it has taken a lot of time and study to get to the point of comprehension, let alone to be able to speak it informally.
As well, hockey players aren't exactly famous for their erudition. If Cervenka was happy playing over in Europe he probably spent his time learning Russian and maybe a little Swedish or French.
Semin might not be very good at languages. Malkin hasn't exactly put his best vocabulary foot forward, but his performance disguises that shortcoming.
I imagine once he signed the Flames contract his agent had him hitting the Pimsleur English and TOEFL/IELTS courses pretty hard. Getting into the dressing room will help.
And if you want language barriers, you should have heard interviews with Esa Tikkanen or Henry "Gizmo" Williams. And those guys were speaking English!

on a semi-related note (regarding the language discussion), I always found it interesting that Swedish players seem able to learn English flawlessly for some reason. Look at guys like Alfredsson and Markus Naslund. They don't even have accents (well, they have Canadian accents).

If I recall, the Nordic countries just have insanely good education systems, including their English language education. The benefits of living in socialist-leaning countries (that also happen to think learning English is important). It really says something when many people from these countries who speak English as a second language can speak it better than the majority of North Americans who have it as their primary (and often only) language.
WOW, how about that offer sheet Philly gave to Weber! 14 year/100M. Holy bonkers

holy Jack-in-the-box, Batman!! that flipped my lid!
July 18 2012, 11:53PM
Yup. Swedes start to learn English pretty much right away.
Thats true. Guys like Alfie, Forsberg, Landeskog, Zetterberg, Lundqvist, the Sedin Sisters. The list goes on and on. Doesn't really matter, but it's interesting to note nonetheless.
WOW, how about that offer sheet Philly gave to Weber! 14 year/100M. Holy bonkers
Now the question is will the Preds match? He's the best D-man in the world, and losing him for nothing would be catastrophic for the franchise. Since they were said to have already been looking for a trade, it seems likely that they'll match and then trade him.
From Jonothan Willis' article
"The Predators need to be able to match that first year because they aren't able to trade Weber in Year One; the current collective bargaining agreement stipulates that in any situation where a team matches the offer sheet to one of their restricted free agents, they must retain his services for the next season."
Oops, kinda puts the kibosh on my suggestion. Well then, this seems like an excellent oppurtunity for the Preds to lock up their captain by matching if they can, but I would think if the Preds do match on Weber and he can't be traded this upcoming season then he'll just demand a trade next july 1. That would put David Poile in a very difficult situation
July 19 2012, 01:18AM
They can afford him now that they aren't paying Suter too. I can't see how the Preds don't match? Fold the franchise if they don't match an offer sheet for their captain and arguably the best defenceman in the league/planet.
to be fair, it's an offer sheet, so they would hardly lose him for nothing. Unless you consider 4 late 1st round picks nothing (they'd likely be in the 20's, since Philly with Weber is scary).
Absolutely they should still match it if they can.
July 19 2012, 09:11AM
It's not quite accurate that they would lose him for nothing. I think they would get 4 1st round picks if they don't match.
come on down to jay feasters used cars where we ask you what you want to hear. i am beginning to believe this act belongs in a second rate vegas casino. all smoke and mirrors.
I may be alone here, but I don't think Poile should match. Those four 1st round picks aren't going to compensate Nashville for the loss of Weber, but frankly it is more than he might get through a trade. Look at how much Luongo and Nash are going for right now. Would Weber be any more affordable for a team?
Regier matched the Vanek sheet and if he hadn't he would have still had the pick that was used to take Tyler Myers, as well as the other pick in that year which was used to take Jake Gardiner but could just as easily have been used for Jordan Eberle, as well as Magnus Paajarvi and Taylor Hall, all things being equal. He let his ego cloud his long-term objectivity.
Let Weber walk, recognize that fate is telling you something, bring along the next wave of defensemen and start to rebuild the team.
Those four first round picks will have value for the Predators in the next few years. For the next four consecutive draft years Nashville could package their own pick and the Philadelphia pick (probably somewhere after #20) and move up in the draft order. Or they could simply rebuild a core by drafting twice in the first round, getting eight first-round players in four years.
Matching would only tie the team to a ridiculously high contract and keep the team grounded in their past. It sucks to lose Weber, and the offer sheet adds insult to injury. There is no fair value for a player of his calibre. However, fate is dropping hints like bricks and trying to ignore it might only cost the franchise more in the long run.
to be fair, it's an offer sheet, so they would hardly lose him for nothing. Unless you consider 4 late 1st round picks nothing (they'd likely be in the 20's, since Philly with Weber is scary).
Absolutely they should still match it if they can.
It might not be nothing per say, but 4 late first rounders is basically the start of a rebuild in NSH.

Pocket Referee (Vraney, Inc.)
We love the Pocket Referee. It's a very simple, very low-tech solution to one of the worst parts of being a parent: having to continually play King Solomon to children arguing over whose turn it is, or who gets the last cookie. The Pocket Referee is a silver dollar-sized coin (it comes in gold or antique brass finish) that passes from child to child. The holder of the coin either uses it to be the current decider and passes it on to the other child, or holds on to it when the decision just isn't that important to him. This is a dad-invented product that deserves a shot if you have two or more kids who fight about every decision. And don't we all?
Periodic Quest (Periodic Quest)
Periodic Quest is a game that will orient the whole family toward the Table of Elements. We recommend this product only for dads who have at least a basic familiarity with the Table of Elements. Dads expecting to learn science along with their kids may get a little frustrated, but if you're interested in chemistry and you want to share your passion with your kids, this game is a real winner. For ages 12 and up.
Daddy Sneaks (by Sharlene Weingart)
In this charming story by Sharlene Weingart, Daddy–a goateed, hip-looking guy–takes the whole family, pets and all, camping. You'd think that in 2011 there would be more books with positive father role models. Sadly, no. But that just makes the engaged, loving, caring–and kinda sneaky–Dad stand out even more. Ages 3-6.
If you like Scrabble, Anagrams, and Boggle, you'll love all four of these games. Actually, you'll love them even if you've never heard of those other games. Besides being really fun, they all have a few things in common: boys and girls will both enjoy them, they're fast–no sitting around waiting for everyone else to take their turn, you don't need a board or even pencil and paper, they can be enjoyed by adults as well as kids, they come in really cute packages, and they're a great way to help early gradeshoolers with spelling and those know-it-all teens and tweens build their vocabulary. Oh, and they're addictive as hell.
Bananagrams is the one that started it all. Players turn over tiles and race to be the first to use them all, cross-word style.
Appletters offers a fun twist on Bananagrams by allowing words to be built from only the first or last letters. So instead of a crossword you'll end up with more of a snake. It's actually three separate games in one–each appropriate for a different age group.
PairsInPears stays true to it's word-bilding roots, but adds a memory and matching component. Very fast paced.
Zip-It might be the fastest of them all–you can play a hand in under 20 seconds–but you'll want to stick with it for longer than that. Zip-It uses lettered cubes (like dice) instead of tiles and the zippers on the carrying case are used to keep score. Again, lots of fun for everyone.
Baby Goes Pro DVD (Baby Goes Pro)
This DVD introduces toddlers to five popular sports: baseball, basketball, golf, tennis, and soccer. It was created by tennis pro Gigi Fernandez. The idea is to introduce very young kids to sports while giving them a chance to see real athletes in action–all coached by a pretty entertaining monkey. No guarantees that your baby will be the next Tiger Woods (on the course, not off) or Cy Young winner, but it's a great way for dad to open the door to sports in a low-presure, fun way. Ages 3-6.
Create Your Own Floor Puzzle (Cobble Hill)
This is one of these "Why didn't anyone think of this before?" things. A blank, 36-piece jigsaw puzzle that provides a great opportunity for dads and kids to work on a cool project together. But with Mother's Day just around the corner, it might also be a fun way to make a memoriable, meaningful gift for mom.
Kids Photo Growth Chart (Kangaroom)
Watch your child grow by feet and inches and have the photos to prove it! If you have kids, you have photos (from school, sports teams, birthdays, holidays, etc.), and until now, you probably haven't had a good way to display those yearly photos!! Our brand new Kid's Photo Growth Chart-a totally unique way to keep track of your child's growth physically, as well as in photos. This hanging organizer can be customized as your child grows and changes: one side for photos of your child and the other side for photos of favorite friends or family. Customizable labels and personality cards (to record favorite things and thoughts for each age) are made to slip in front or behind photos to create a lasting keepsake of childhood! Don't let your child's photo history sit in a messy drawer any longer!
Gogo Kidz Travelmate(GoGo Babies)
If you've ever had to shlepp a sleeping infant or toddler through the airport to the very last gate in the furthest terminal, your back is probably still sore. Next time pich up the Travelmate. It's kind of like a hand truck that enables you to roll that car seat with ease. Not only saves your back, but can do wonders for your mood as well. So when your child wakes up, you'll be ready to play.
If you come home and your son or daughter is often covered in paint, flour, or mud, then the Kobli smock is for you. It's just a simple, water-repellent shirt that you put on backwards like a hospital gown. It covers you from the waist up with elastic at the wrists to keep you clean if you either are diving in for a welcome home hug or to take part in the activity. The Koobli is not for the dad of any child, but you'll know immediately if this is a lifesaver for you.
Wet Happened? Zippered Wet Bag (ItzyRitzy)
We don't know how moms handle it, but we've found ourselves many times at the pool with wet children and now soaking wet bathing suits to carry out in the cold air and then drop, soggy, onto the floor of the car for the ride home. With all the chlorine on the floor and floor mats, I'm surprised it hasn't faded the fabric. Itzy-Ritzy makes just the thing for this problem: The Wet Happened? bag. It's a nice cloth bag on the outside with a zipper closure that keeps the water in. Perfect when you take kids to the pool, or need to stash wet stuff to put in the suitcase for a trip home after a day at the beach. Yes, a plastic bag, does the same thing, but sometimes dads like a gadget that does something better and cleaner–and sometimes the kids want to make a fashion statement.
Easy Stroll (Goosey Loo Industries)
Okay, if you're over 5′ 8″, most strollers just aren't comfortable. Some come with extendable handles, which makes taking the kids out for a walk less painful. But not all do. The Easy Stroll gives you complete, one-hand stroller operation, which allows you to stand up like a real Homo Sapiens and relieves some of the stress on your shoulders. Installs on any stroller in minutes.
Doodle Roll (Imagination Brands)
The Doodle Roll is a fun addition to a bag to take to the restaurant or on a plane ride. It's a low-cost roll of paper, prepackaged with crayons. Creative dads will use it to doodle and draw along with their kids as they might in a restaurant that provides paper tablecloths and crayons for the whole family. The unique on-the-go dispenser, handy crayon-caddy and safe tear-away edge allows Dad to interact as much or as little as he and his children choose. It's also a fun way to engage in free-spirited doodling without the limit placed on kids by the four sides of a sheet of paper. Dads can also use it to play simple games like battleship and tic-tac-toe, the only limit is your knowledge of games. It also makes a great way to make a banner for Mother's Day.
XRanger 2000 (Xploderz)
Maybe it's the Marine in me (you know what they say, once a Marine…), but I have nothing against guns–as long as they're used safely. In our house the shoot-above-the-knee-and-you-lose-it-for-a-day rule is set in stone. But even if you're not a big gun fan, it's hard to miss the entertainment value in the XRanger 2000 (the 2000 refers to the number of rounds of ammo that are included). Aimed at kids who've outgrown the soft darts but are too young for paintball, the Xploderz firing system (they deliberately stay away from the word "gun") shoots a soft, round, water/gel pellet that explodes harmlessly on contact. Easy to clean up and doesn't stain. And, in case someone does shoot above the knee, it's completely painless (I had my daughter shoot me in the chest from five feet away and didn't feel a thing). .
Wii Party (Nintendo Wii game)
Take Mario Party 8 and remove the tedium of waiting between mini-games and use your own avatar rather than playing as Mario and you have a good idea what Wii Party is all about. It's big, big collection of mini-games that gives a fun play option for everyone in the family. We loved it. It's simple to play. People can move in and out, and games are short enough that no one gets bored. All games can be played by almost any age at some level.
SnoozeShade (SnoozeShade)
There's always one parent who is more concerned with plastics or air quality or over-doses of sun exposures. For the dad who is the worrier in the family, the Snooze Shade is a simple solution for outdoor strolls. It's UPF 50+, breathable black fabric, so perfect for letting junior sleep even in bright glare while protecting his young skin, blocking out 94% of sun's rays. It can also be used to shade from insects.
