Pictured: The Guadalajara Shorts by Kenny clothing.
We're approaching the last stretch of summer, and I'm officially tired of my warm-weather wardrobe. For a fun update before the sobriety of fall fashion takes over, I'll pick up a pair of patterned shorts that will keep me cool through August (and ensure I don't continue to wear dresses every day until September).
I'm partial to an ikat-print pair by Alice + Olivia, perfect for weekends with a tucked-in jersey tank and layers of beaded Vanessa Mooney necklaces. But print shorts don't have to look this casual: I can take the look to the office with a feminine pair of Club Monaco shorts, worn with a white Equipment blouse and neutral suede pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti.

Shut Down the Yulin Dog Meat Festival!
Please consider contributing to our crowdfunding campaign to provide emergency aid to dogs rescued in Yulin: change.org/helpyulindogs Did you know, every year, on the summer solstice, thousands of dogs are rounded up to be eaten in Yulin, China as part of a Dog Meat Festival? We believe that this cruel "festival" has no place in the 21st century. There are so many reasons to end this horrific festival -- warning, the following information may be upsetting. Many of the dogs that are killed are stolen household pets or are watchdogs of rural families. Allowing the Dog Meat Festival to continue is like endorsing dog theft, which supplies the dog meat industry. The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is also a dangerous food safety issue. Dogs sold on the market are sick, poisoned and dying animals. They suffer from horrendous conditions during the long distance, trans-provincial journeys, many days without food and water and may carry contagious disease. We appeal to you to act in the interest of public health, food safety, animal welfare, and the image of Guangxi and China. The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is a business operation that undermines the national and public interest. The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government is at a historical juncture. The Dog Meat Festival must end. By signing our petition, you're joining a global movement with like-minded people who want to shut down this heinous festival and trade. In the coming weeks and months, you'll have the opportunity to be involved in both online and in-person events happening around the world. Thank you, Duo Duo Animal Welfare Project (www.duoduoproject.org)

By PAULA WELLNITZ
Have you ever tried to fit two pieces of anything together: e.g. stone, fabric, wood, etc., so that they would make a perfect whole, like a wall, a dress or whatever, sometimes it works out quite easily. Sometimes it take a lot of time, patience and skill.
I think this fitting together is symbolic of the relationship in a marriage. Some married couples adapt their individual differences to each other with comparative ease. Others have a great struggle to attain a successful marriage.
In putting together a stone wall or a dress, the adaptation, by chipping, gathering, overlapping comes from outside the part joined; from outside the object to be made. In marriage most of the work producing a strong, beautiful result comes from the two persons in the marriage. They work together:
1. by expressing their feelings, their needs,
2. by listening to their partner's expression of feelings,
3. by their willingness to change themselves,
4. by showing appreciation for the other as is, and as struggling to work out their relationship.
They work separately in being willing to change as necessary and good.
To be a real fit, this adaptation of the two people must be a relationship in which each is growing, becoming more the person he/she can be. It is a mutual search for ways to make their life together a healthful one. The basis for this is laid in the first years of marriage. The young couple needs to deliberately set aside time and energy to work at their relationship.
Through the wear and tear of years this "perfect fit" must be regularly readjusted. Therefore, couples of every age do well to check their life together from time to time. How about you?

Hey everyone! It's our second letters column! This is where we round up the questions we received from Patreon backers and respond. In case you're confused, here's the deal: patrons can ask us questions by hitting this link. If you'd like to become a patron, head over to our patreon!
This time we're only answering one question because we give a reaaaaally thorough answer:
Oh geez. Oh man. Hello. I've been reading since Johnny Wander started back when Applegeeks was still updating and Yuko did some guest strips and god I must have been in the middle of high school then and I had never seen anything as lovely and genuine and fun as Johnny Wander before. It was a bright spot in the teenagery gloom and continues to be an upshot in my day. Thank you.
How come Death turned Ceclia's hand all neat and supernatural, but since they've been together, none of the rest of Cecilia has turned supernatural?
Could you maybe talk a little more about the non-Johnny-Wander stuff in Cuttings? There are notes in the back of the book explaining a lot of the unfamiliar content, but I sort of want to hear more about these scrapped (if they were in fact scrapped) projects. What's Walking Gods? Who's the lone girl with dark hair and neat clothes? (I want to ask more about Cuttings, but left my copy at home and won't be back for a few weeks. D: Maybe next time?) <3
Wow-- you've been with us for a long time, thanks for sticking around. I'm gonna try to run through all your questions:
Hey everyone! Welcome to our first installment of the Letters Column (that we still need a good name for). This is where we round up the questions we received from Patreon backers and respond. In case you're confused, here's the deal: patrons can ask us questions by hitting this link. If you'd like to become a patron, head over to our patreon!
How is Yuko's wrist/arm doing these days? Is she ok?
- Kim N.
Hi Yuko and Ananth,
I wanted to ask about what you guys were planning in the near future now that you've finished Lucky Penny (which was awesome btw!). Will you be returning to the previous format for the duration, or can we look forward to something different altogether (also sorry in advance if literally everyone is asking this)? I have to admit, as much as I enjoyed LP, I've always adored your autobio comics, but I'd really be excited for anything - your work is hugely inspiring.
Anyway, thanks for doing what you guys do, and I'm looking forward to whatever comes next!
Sorry if this isn't the type of question you wanted, or if it's off limits for being personal. But I've been curious since the campaign kicked off: Why did Ananth change his name?
- Jason F.
Hey! I've gotten this a few times so I just wanted to address it. It's not off-limits to ask, but my answer is that I've been thinking about it for a long time, there are a lot of reasons, and it's personal so I don't really want to get into it. Sorry! It won't change anything major as far as Johnny Wander is concerned.
Yuko: "When I was in middle school my mom gave me a book of Audubon paintings and I copied them diligently (to be honest, I did it to help me draw better and more realistic dragons). My first major comics influence was definitely Jen Wang. I was in high school- I saw that she had an ongoing webcomic and she was roughly my age and her art really appealed to me. Terryl Whitlatch's creature designs helped inform my own at an early age. I first became interested in fashion and drawing clothing because of the Tite Kubo's chapter breaks in Bleach. Studying Kali Ciesemier's art made me pay attention to design and layout. My current favorites are Florent Maudoux, Aki Irie, Ivan Bilibin, and Charley Harper."

The Emery High Spartans opened the state 3-A baseball play-offs with two games last Saturday at Pine View High School in St. George. Emery defeated the Granite Farmers 7-6 in their first game and then lost to the nightcap 4-1 to the heavily favored hometown Panthers.
Chandler Pearson opened on the mound for the Spartans against the Farmers and came away with the victory. Pearson gave up five hits and struck out eight in the win.
Granite scored first in the top of the second inning as four walks scored one run. Emery came right back and scored four times in the bottom of the second to take a lead that they would never relinquish.
Tyrel Bennett got hit by a pitch, Landon Watson walked, Conley Luke walked and then Chandler Tanner drove two runners home with a double. Kadin Wilson followed with another double as he also picked up a pair of RBI's and Emery now lead 4-1.
Emery gave up three runs in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Emery picked up another run in the fourth inning as Luke scored again. Conley got aboard due to a Granite error, stole second base, another error put him at third base and then a wild pitch allowed him to score.
Bennett and Watson scored again in the fifth inning as Garrett Swenson and Tanner each had an RBI.
Bowie Jeffs pitched the second game and allowed four runs, nine hits, two walks and two strikeouts.
Pineview, who was 20-1 at game time, scored four times in the second inning. After two Panthers got on base, Jeffs struck out two batters and had the #9 batter at 0-2 before he gave up a 3-run homerun. Pineview added another in the inning but then never came close to scoring again.
Emery's only run came in the fifth inning as Swenson singled, Tanner doubled and Wilson picked up the RBI on a ground out. Emery only had six hits in the game but four of them were doubles. In addition to Tanner, Wilson led off the game with a double and Brady Larsen added two more.
The 3-A playoffs continue this week at fields in the Ogden area. Emery will play Cedar City at Fremont High School at 11 a.m. Cedar is 11-10 for the season while the Spartans are 10-12. The winner will play the North Sanpete -Tooele winner at 4:30 p.m. at Lindquist Field.

Mr_Jet, on 12 November 2012 - 06:24 AM, said:
Look, like it our not we had a traditional QB as a back up in Drew Stanton for about 2 weeks and then we decided to go after Tebow. I didn't understand it then and I still don't understand it today. But he's supposed to be the back up then let him start. I have never once heard of a team benching their starter and jumping to their 3rd string QB. Doesn't matter what we think Tebow can or can't do, he's the back up that's what he was brought in here to do. Frankly it doesn't matter if we were to start Tebow or McElroy because neither of them will play well and we'll likely end up losing the games they start either way.
It's really been seven years since Bollinger started a good portion of the season?! Time does fly!
Definitely a good point about Stanton. Trading him is the reason why certain fans are calling for the third stringer to replace Sanchez rather than go with Tebow. If that happens though, Rex and Tannenbaum are going to look completely daft; it would be a sign they have no confidence in Tebow being capable of starting at quarterback in the league and would make a mockery of the decision to trade draft picks to Denver for him. The New York media would have a field day with it too and you'd wonder whether either would be able to stay in their jobs at the end of season because of it. That's the main reason why McElroy will keep on wearing training gear on the sidelines.
Going back to the subject of the thread - Sanchez - yeah it's time to bench him. I don't hold much hope that his replacement will fare any better, however.

Demo of Oracle Data Masking Using Enterprise Manager 12c
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on May 02, 2013
Data masking, also known as data scrambling or data anonymization, is the process of obscuring sensitive information copied from a production database to a test or non-production database. Data masking is ideal for confidential or regulated data that needs to be shared with non-production users who require access to the original data, but not true data.
Watch this demo to see how the Oracle E-Business Suite Template for the Data Masking Pack, when applied with the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control Data Masking tool, scrambles sensitive data in a copy of the production system.

A performance trainer with plenty of creature comforts, the Saucony PowerGrid Cortana delivers a light, aggressive ride as you rack up the miles.
The Cortana is a special shoe in many respects. While a lot of max-feature, big-cushion shoes are built on a traditional 12mm offset platform, the Cortana has only a 4mm drop. This makes it the champ in a class of one, but it's a class many runners will want to consider.
Our testers all noted that the Cortana is on the firmer side of the maximum featured shoe spectrum. That's a real benefit for a runner who likes a resilient ride but wants enough cushioning for high-mileage runs. Testers who regularly run in shoes with lower heel-to-toe drops really appreciated being able to stick with an offset they're used to while getting some much-needed cushioning for longer runs.
With all the high-end technology, this shoe has to have a loaded down feel, right? No way – it's amazing how light this shoe feels underfoot. Credit that feel to a mid/outsole that transitions very smoothly and an airy upper that moves effortlessly with your foot. Every tester felt at home in this shoe's upper.
We can envision many runners out there who can use the Cortana as their training shoe and then switch over to shoe like the Saucony Kinvara, Saucony Type A5, Brooks PureConnect or Asics Hyper Speed 5 for speedwork and race day.
"Definitely on the firmer side of the scale for a maximum feature shoe. I like the overall aggressive feel of this package."
"The Cortana holds my foot like a glove but still gives me plenty of room. I think a little more flexibility in the rear of the midfoot would improve the ride for runners who strike closer to their heel than forefoot."
"When heel striking, I felt like I had a flat tire in this shoe. But then, that's not really the point of the Cortana. For a midfoot strike, the shoe offers a fantastic blend of cushion and responsiveness."

John and Michele Corrigan purchased Shady Acres in Green River in 1998. Their first visit to the area was in 1997. As an avenue to get away from the problems of the big city, they moved their family of three boys here to the small town atmosphere from Glendale, Ariz. "It's smaller than we had envisioned, but we are very happy here." Corrigan said. "The people here are really friendly and the whole town is there for you if you need them."
The couple operate the convenience store, gas station, car wash, laundromat, 100 space RV park and Blimpie's Restaurant. With the help of Michele's parents and 12-13 employees, Shady Acres operates year round. Many of the employees were on staff when the Corrigan's purchased the business and "We have the best crew in town," Corrigan stated. Since their arrival, they have only had one bad experience with an employee, but on the whole they have found most of their neighbors and friends honest, open and law abiding.
Business is rather intense in the summer with the tourist traffic from I-70, but everyone gets "to catch their breath" during the winter months. The freeway is the main artery that sustains the whole town.
The business experience from the screen printing business the couple operated in Arizona had prepared them somewhat for their new adventure. They are learning to handle the very different situations that can arise daily in a tourist based facility.
"In the future, we would like to expand the RV park with more spaces and cabins, and perhaps a pool. We've already purchased additional land. We might add to our store or bring in another fast food franchise. Most of the business in Green River consists of catering to the traveler or tourist with food, fuel or accommodations and we think this will continue," said Corrigan.

Super comfy
"I wore these shoes out to the club, not only were they easy to walk in, they also felt amazing on my feet. The straps seemed a bit wide, but did not affect walking or wear. I also did not get any sores or blisters from this shoe...AMAZING look and AMAZING fit."

Hot Shoe
"Unfortunately, I had to return these, but they were super cute! I ordered them to wear with a short bridesmaid dress. I needed "champagne" colored shoes, and the nude was a perfect color - not too "gold" and "shimmery". However, I ordered the 8.5 and should have gone with the 8, so the straps were fitted on my foot, otherwise they are too lose and don't look right. They have a slightly taller heel than I usually go for, but surprisingly comfortable and sturdy for the height. Too bad the wedding was too close for me to order another pair, since they do not keep this shoe in stock in the stores!"

WEST HAVEN, CONN. -- The University of New Haven Alumni Association raised $862,000 for students at its 30th Annual Alumni Scholarship Ball on Saturday, April 20.
The ball, UNH's major fundraising event, was attended by more than 350 guests who participated in a dinner, a silent auction, a live auction and dancing. Last year, the ball raised over $500,000. The previous record tally was $860,000, raised two years ago.
"We are pleased with the generous amount raised at this year's ball," said President Steven Kaplan. "Scholarship funds are critically important, as there are many deserving students who otherwise would not be able to pursue their dreams of earning a college education. Our success is the result of the support of our alumni, friends, area businesses, faculty, staff and major donors. I greatly appreciate their support. Their participation makes a difference to our students."

Constable depicted this windmill under a bright light in front of a dark grey sky. He applied the paint thickly onto the canvas, streaking white highlights over the surface with an expressive and dramatic effect. His friend and biographer, C.R. Leslie quoted Constable's brother Abram commenting: 'when I look at a mill painted by John, I see that it will go round which is not always the case with those other artists' (Leslie (1843/45) 1951, p. 4).
This is the oil painting that Lucas used as a basis for the mezzotint A mill near Brighton ). Constable may have painted it from nature or in the studio specifically for the mezzotint. If the former, he would have painted it between 1824 and 1828 at Brighton, and if the latter, he would probably have painted it in 1829 when he first started working with Lucas. The schematic nature of the foliage and the roughly painted, stormy sky suggests that Constable painted it in the studio, specifically for Lucas. The dated progress proofs show that it had definitely been painted by 1829.

Gov. Walker surveys northwestern Wisconsin wildfire damage
Submitted: 05/16/2013
Story By CNN
- We spent the last few nights taking in the sheer destruction a massive wildfire in Northwestern Wisconsin created.
Thursday, Governor Scott Walker got a first-hand look at the damage caused by a massive wildfire.
The governor and local officials toured the damaged areas in Douglas and Bayfield counties by helicopter.
The fire scorched some 9,000 acres and destroyed 47 buildings, including at least 17 homes.
But the governor made sure to point out the number of buildings saved.
"Seventy-seven structures were saved," Walker said. "Seventy-seven structures. When you look at this from an aerial shot, when you look at the map it is phenomenal particularly when you see the ashes literally yards away from homes and properties and you realize it was the fire service there making sure and it was the DNR crews making sure that those properties were protected, it's just phenomenal."
The fire is completely out as of Thursday night.
The DNR says this is the largest fire in northern Wisconsin in 33 years.

Rouman Cinema brings Oscar nominated films to the Northwoods
Submitted: 02/24/2017
Play Video
- Movie fans will see if their favorite movie wins "Best Picture of the Year" at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
There are some big names nominated this year, but there are a few many people in the Northwoods have never seen.
Rouman Cinema is giving people a chance to catch up on movies that will be winning the big awards.
The studios that produce the movies, decide what theatres get to show them and when.
A lot of it has to do with marketing and the demographics of the area.
Diverse movies like Moonlight and Fences often don't come to the are, until months after they're released.
George Rouman owns Rouman Cinema he says it's up to the studios, not him.
"People may or may not be into this type of thing but for those who are interested in really good, excellence quality performances, it's a great chance to get out here and see some of these movies and see what some of the buzz is about," said Rouman.
Rouman created a three week Oscar special where he'll be showing about 15 Oscar nominated films.
Rouman believes that people in the Northwoods have a right to see and know about movies featuring different cultures and people.

Exeter Chiefs thundered into a 41-3 lead before being pegged back by Cardiff Blues to win 44-29 at Sandy Park in the Heineken Cup.
Exeter Chiefs thundered into a 41-3 lead before being pegged back by Cardiff Blues to win 44-29 at Sandy Park in the Heineken Cup.
The visiting Blues scored 26 unanswered points in the second half as they almost made up for a shocking first period with four tries, taking a bonus point back to Wales.
Cardiff's resurgence in the second half didn't make their abject performance from the first 40 forgettable, but was a seismic improvement.
It came too late overall though. Exeter had comfortably amassed 40 points and six tries in an accomplished performance, before their second-half collapse due to substitutions and two yellow cards.
The Blues at their worst were absolutely shambolic. It was a horrifying contrast to the success of the Scarlets at The Stoop the day before, when Welsh regional rugby had appeared to be on the rise again. This was a splash in the face.
19 tackles were missed by the visitors in the first half, as their paper-thin defence was repeatedly scissored apart by Exeter's persistent desire to run rather than put boot to ball.
Through little more than successive phases the Blues were cut open by Exeter's big carriers; Dave Ewers, Phil Dollman and the outstanding Tom Johnson all finding space.
Johnson was everywhere in the opening half-hour before being taken off due to an injury, putting his hand up for England recognition ahead of next month's November Internationals.
A sustained passage of running rugby from the home side yielded the game's first try, Exeter using their back-row effectively as Ewers and Johnson carried on multiple occasions during an 80-metre surge towards the Cardiff line. In the end it was Johnson who crossed over in the right-hand corner.
Halfpenny added the Blues opening points after Ian Whitten was penalised for holding on but Exeter domainted early possession and territory, Steenson adding three of his own for an 8-3 lead after 20 minutes.
The Chiefs afternoon got even better when captain Dean Mumm galloped through, the former Wallaby scoring his fourth try in only six matches so far this season as the Blues payed the price for a stolen lineout within their own half.
By the time Matt Jess scampered through almost from the restart, the Blues were already pondering their journey home.
Exeter were hungrier for the ball at the breakdown and played at a ferocious pace to wrap up a try bonus point after half an hour, Fetu'u Vainikolo gliding inside Alex Cuthbert for the fourth try and a 29-3 scoreline.
By the time Ben White flopped over for the Chiefs' fifth try of the first-half, and a 33-point lead, Blues fans were left already mapping their route back to Wales.
The Blues performance couldn't get any worse and there were signs of life from Alex Cuthbert after the break, the Lions winger putting the visitors in a dangerous position only for the opportunity to go begging.
Exeter continued to control the pace of the ball at the breakdown as Sam Warburton and his men were continually nullified at the contact area.
Whitten sprinted over after being released by Steenson's pass for the sixth try and the 40-point mark, a minute before Lloyd Williams snapped up a loose ball at the side of a ruck and ran in behind the defence.
It was a consolation try the Blues barely deserved, but it did give the Blues a spark. Exeter had controlled the breakdown for so long, but another loose ball out the side handed Robin Copeland a free run to the line as the Blues chased the possibility of a try bonus-point.
The Chiefs were then reduced to 13 men within a minute, as Whitten committed a deliberate knock-on and replacement Sireli Naqelevuki a high tackle. Momentum, dramatcially, had swung in the Welsh side's favour.
Cuthbert's calm finish for the Blues' third try turned that 41-3 scoreline into 41-22, Exeter's numerical disadvantage proving crucial as an injury momentarily reduced them to 12 to leave Harry Robinson with plenty of open space to grab that bonus-point score.
A penalty from young replacement Henry Slade calmed any jittering nerves for the Exeter fans, who bizarrely had been left sweating have lead by 38 points earlier in the second half.
Blues replacement Marc Breeze was shown a yellow card in the dying minutes for a tackle, but the Chiefs were already home. A bizarre game had Exeter taking five Pool points, but it wasn't as simple as everyone expected at half-time.
The scorers:
For Exeter:
Tries: Johnson, Mumm, Jess, Vainikolo, White, Whitten
Cons: Steenson 4
Pens: Steenson, Slade
Yellow Cards: Whitten, Naqelevuki
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Williams, Copeland, Cuthbert, Robinson
Cons: Halfpenny 3
Pen: Halfpenny
Yellow Card: Breeze
Exeter Chiefs: 15 Phil Dollman, 14 Matt Jess, 13 Ian Whitten, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Dave Lewis, 8 Dave Ewers, 7 Ben White, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm (capt), 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Chris Whitehead, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Jack Yeandle, 17 Ben Moon, 18 Carl Rimmer, 19 Don Armand, 20 Kai Horstmann, 21 Haydn Thomas, 22 Henry Slade, 23 Sireli Naqelevuki.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Cory Allen, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius, 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 Filo Paulo, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Tau Filise, 2 Matthew Rees (capt), 1 Gethin Jenkins.

An exchange-traded fund from private-equity firm Warburg Pincus? Perhaps one day. The company just hired former iShares chief executive officer Lee Kranefuss.
Warburg announced the hire — to the position of "executive in residence" — in a Monday press release that made no secret of what sound like ETF-sponsor ambitions.
"The time is ripe to create a large-scale, global, and independent ETF provider that will provide the truly attractive and innovative product – and the support behind it – that ETF investors demand," Kranefuss says in the release.
Kranefuss' role will be to help identify and evaluate exchange-traded fund, indexing and asset-management opportunities, particularly in Europe, Asia and Latin America, according to the release.

The Huntington City Council held a public hearing at their monthly council meeting to discuss and decide the future of a new fire station in Huntington. After months of discussion and after overwhelming support of a citywide survey, the council unanimously voted to proceed with the process of building a new fire station and EMS garage.
In the public hearing, the council discussed five possible locations as the site of the new building. They discussed the pros and cons of each location before each vocally expressed their view and settled on one site. The public hearing was held as a stipulation of applying for CIB funding.
The five sites looked at were at the rodeo grounds on property currently owned by the city, property on east Center Street also currently owned by the city, property on Main Street located between 300 N. and 400 N., property located on Main Street located between 300 S. and 400 S. and property located on Canyon Road south of the ball complex.
The property located south of the ball complex was selected by the council as the preferred site. This property is 17.7 acres in size and the city has an agreement on price with the current owner as they did with all the property owners whose property was considered.
After closing the public hearing, the next item on the agenda was public comments. All in attendance at the meeting were in favor of both the site and the idea of building a new station to serve the residents of Huntington and the surrounding area.
Mayor Hilary Gordon talked about Huntington City joining with other local cities and counties in hiring a lobbyist to fight the elimination of local entities collecting sales tax from mining equipment sold in the local market at the next session of the legislature. This action by the state has cost the city more than $12,200 during the past two years. The council authorized up to $5,000 as their share of the overall cost.
Business licenses were authorized for Castle Valley Supply, Got Nails? and Subway with a new owner. The city also approved allowing Emery Animal Health to sell city dog licenses when they perform the vaccinations necessary to obtain that license. This will be done as a courtesy to their clientele.
The city will hold their annual Christmas party for the residents of the city on Dec. 3 at Huntington Elementary at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served and entertainment will follow. There is no charge and all are invited.
Finally, the Mayor reported UDOT will be doing some curb and gutter work on Main Street between 300 S. and 500 S. The amount of work will be decided by how much money is left in their budget for the current year. This will help eliminate a water problem that occurs every time it rains.
The next Huntington City Council meeting will be held Dec. 15 at 6:30 p.m.

what I get from this ANet announced they are gonna do something Blizzard said good idea ANet years later still working on it allegedly Blizzard has the system in place. Everything in the MMO universe is copied from something. Im not a huge Blizzard fan, but I will say they still have the best combat engine (response time is instant) , and are the best at implementing and perfecting ideas Guild Wars 2 has does absolutely NOTHING innovative, not 1 thing
The word innovation derives from the Latin word innovates, which is the noun form of innovare "to renew or change,"
By definition of the word Anet did much to innovate the MMO world. They changed the concept of combat through more action oriented style with a dodge mechanic. They removed and changed the questing hub system that was standard in almost every MMO before them by adding in dynamic events and completely removing the need for traditional questing hubs where you ran back and forth to for quests. They created an MMO world where almost every zone feels alive and lived in through npc placement, random voice chit chat and aminations/sounds. This alone is missing in so many other MMO worlds where you go outside a zone and see massive amounts of creatures to grind on. Anet made griefing in a gome over resources, bosses, and kills non-existent. No more fighting over a kill or resource. Anet made many innovative changes to the way MMOs function and play. Just because they didn't "rock your world" does not mean they didn't try new things or change ones we are familiar with.
not a single part of GW2 made me feel like I was doing anything new, everything in the game, I have done somewhere else before.
they took a lot of ideas and polished em up, ill give em a little credit for that, but still nothing new. I guess calling gnomes Asura is innovative though
you want innovation, go play Asheron's Call 1 and 2, and realize that everything in those games is what triggered what we have today, yet they still did it better
You see here's the thing. You want me to play Game X in order to get a taste of "true innovation", but conveniently left out the myriad of issues I have to deal with along the way.
- Is it OWPvP? I prefer optional PvP.
- Does it take too much of my time to get anywhere?
- Does it sport a more dynamic quest system?
- Does it even have a quest system?
- Is the combat active, or is this a spreadsheet system?
- Is it based on competition, rather than cooperation?
- Does it look good, considering its age?
- Do I have to pay monthly in order to play it?
- Is it trinity based? WIll my preferred class/build give me difficulty finding groups? You see, I prefer DPS types.
I want a taste of "true innovation". You make it sound so good! But first the game must pass a majority of my questions.
In addition to your criteria, which I think are very pertinent questions, I'm curious what either of those two games offered that was really innovative? What did they offer that Lineage or UO didn't do before or EQ do at the same time?
Asheron's Call- innovations in MMOrpgs
Twitch based combat, collision detection, you could dodge arrows and spells, and you could work with teams to trap people. Melee combat was location based attack high, mid or low, also could do an extremely fast jab, or a very long swing for more damage.
Armor that actually protected you, not just added to your overall "Armor Class", as well as each piece of armor having 7 different base resitances that could range from poor to unparalleled, you could have a bludgeing set of armor, as well as one that is strong against fire. This brings to next point
Weapons that didnt just "do damage" I had a fire, acid, lightning, and frost weapon, as well as my traditional pierce, bludge and slash attacks, and it was my decision what type of attack to use, especially if I used life magic in correlation to weaken my target against a specific type. Mobs for example were strong vs piercing if they had a hard shell (Olthoi) but weak vs bludgeoning. To my next point
Mobs that were unique to their world, it wasnt goblins, elves, orcs, dwarves, but was every bit as fantasy, we lived in their world, where Drudges, Banderlings, Olthoi, Tuskers, Virindi, and every other mob was unique to their universe.
The Patron System, while eventually turned into an exploitable thing, on the surface was incredible. The ability to recruit and build a pyramid army underneath you, one that you can supply with gear, pyreal, supplies, and help level, and in turn you receive a %of their exp earned based on their loyalty skill and your leadership skill, which leads to skills.
Skills you actually chose to use and specialize in were your choice, classless wasnt innovative, but increasing your skills was. You had traditional Str, Int, Dex etc, and skills, when you killed a mob you got exp, you then spent your earned exp on whatever skill you wanted to. Raise that War Magic skill, Bow skill, etc, your choice
Danger, you know like if you die it actually meant something
Open World, yah I know not their innovation, but GW2 cant even do that 13 yrs later

it's like an RTS, except instead of building lots of units, you just control one "hero" character. Defense of the Ancients is an example.
it's really strange for WoW to have though... Then again, Blizzard seems to be putting pretty much every genre of everything in the game these days.

WoW descends further into a "twitch" game. I know PvP is twitch anyway - a sweaty twitch grindfest for people to whom the RPG part of MMORPG means little or nothing. I expect WoW to go full hog and become a cover based shooter by 2014 - and still somehow get labelled an RPG. Not Blizzards fault, all good franchise suffer "feature entropy" and become glorified cover based shooters after a few years. It's what the mindless masses want.
Just had a thought. What can they do to degrade cover based shooters themselves. Maybe degrade them back to "Pong" or "Press the big button when you see the red light flash" reaction games. I reckon if you put fancy graphics around that concept it, would sell millions.

Well to be fair, there's been a fair amount of comments over the years how stale BG pvp has become. The bigger maps like Alterac Valley tend to be a PvE race with PvP mixed in (depending on how much your team is defending). While other maps are basically just roving packs of people trading points. The two new BGs Blizzard added in MoP are boring as hell too (in my opinion). They added a payload style BG which...doesn't seem to fit, and then the hold the ball type of match, which again seems out of place.
A 3rd person MOBA style bg might be what the doctor ordered to make pvp interesting again. In many ways, that type of map seems more "lorefriendly" opposed to the other types of maps available (with the exception of the large 40 man maps). As long as players don't find ways to bypass the mechanics (aka getting past the "creep" to destroy the base in the first 30 seconds), I might be interested in pvp in WoW again.
community complains about World PVP, gets BGs.
years later...
community complains BGs are boring.
Ya...imagine that...PVP is boring when you don't have any danger of being jumped while questing or farming. And no thrill of beating the shit out of the ganker who thought he 'had you'.

LIVE BLOG... from the Draft floor
Jason Gregor
June 26 2009 10:51AM
11:00 am MST
It pays to get up early some days.
Because I got my accreditation late I wanted to make sure everything was still good, so I hoofed it to the Bell Centre. I wasn't on the list, which I expected, but once I showed my card I got my mug shot. I now work for the TEAM 1250, not 1260. It's a better keepsake that way.
There are seven rows with 14 seats in the media riser, and with so many media present, I fully expected to be in the overflow seating in section 12;, until I ran into Julie in the NHL PR. We chatted and I found myself in row seven on the media riser. I have a perfect view of the draft floor and it will be much easier to write on a table rather than using my knees as a make shift table. Julie is all class, and she gets another Nation shout out. I'd send the picture, but I'm an idiot and forget the cord to transfer pics from camera to computer. I'll have them when I get home.
It's the calm before the storm right now. It's noon and slowly the media is trickling in. I ran into some people as I was walking here and here's what I got.
- Heatley talk is at a stand still right now. The Sens want a lot, and most teams aren't willing to pony up. Heatley's agent, JP Barry and his CAA branch are taking a beating in the papers right now. Pundits are claiming it was irresponsible of them to leak the story, because it makes it harder to deal him. CAA is adamant they didn't leak the story, and feel it was probably Sens GM Bryan Murray, and then he could make Heatley look like the bad guy. This situation might get even uglier. I think the CAA camp has a legitimate beef. If the Sens don't make a deal before July 1st and pay Heatley the $4 million he is owed then many expect Murray to play hard ball and force Heatley to come to camp.
- Many wondered if Kevin Lowe could have gotten more for the Human Rake if he had played hardball. I'd like to see how it plays out for Murray if he chooses that route. If a deal is going to happen, it sounds like Heatley will have to be open to more teams. I still can't get exactly what Minny was offering, but it didn't include Burns or Koivu. It sounds like Murray's demands are too high right now.
- The Souray trade talk is heating up again. It sounds like the Oilers are willing to move him. Speculation is Souray and the Oilers 10th for LA's 5th pick, and something else. The Oilers really like Evander Kane. They have a history of making moves, so I won't rule it out. It makes sense on many fronts. Kings get veteran D-man and stay in top ten. Souray gets closer to family. Oilers get high prospect and free up some cap space. The key is what the "something else" is.
- The Leafs are trying to get another first round pick. They've been interviewing lots of mid to late first round picks this morning including, Camrose Kodiak, Dylan Olsen. I literally bumped into him walking here and asked him how his morning was. He'd just finished an interview with the Rangers, and earlier this morning had talks with the Islanders and Leafs, and was in a rush to get to an interview with the Blackhawks. It's a pretty stressful day for these young kids. You don't realize it until you see them. It will be a huge relief whenever his name is called.
- Currently the Sharks are the only team without a first rounder. The Islanders have the 26th pick, but look for Doug Wilson to get involved. Word is he wants to get in the first round, and Ryane Clowe is one of the pieces in place.
12:30 p.m. MST
Took a quick lunch break at the Cage Au Sports, the sports bar right in the Bell Centre, and what a meal. That's just another reason why sports fans in Edmonton deserve a new rink. I took a quick outside tour and they have four "action" statues of Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Howie Morenz and Guy Lafleur. They are great, and then there is a line up of plaques down the side wall with other Montreal legends. (Pics will be up when I return...idiot that I am).
Some more rumblings...
The Kings supposedly offered Frolov and the 5th for Heatley. The Sens said no thanks.
And this seems to be the start of the Souray rumours. Let's play a little scenario.
Steve Tambellini finds out that the Kings are willing to move their 5th, so he makes a call. Keep in mind that even though the Human Rake to LA deal didn't happen, that doesn't mean the Kings weren't trying to acquire him and might still be interested in a top two D-man.
This is where the Oilers and Souray come in. Souray's value is at an all-time high right now. It might stay there for a few years, or it could be like the housing market in Edmonton; Piqued and is now on a downslide.
My gut still says it is a long shot, and I still don't buy that the Kings will move the #5 pick, because that goes against everything that Lombardi has done in building a pretty good stable of young talent., but remember the Kings surprised everyone in 2007 when they took Hickey at #4.
It seems pretty obvious that the Kings and Lightning are the teams in the top five that will listen to offers about their pick. The Bolts will considering moving the #2 if Hedman goes to the Islanders, if he doesn't then BOOK it that he will go to Tampa. Colorado and Atlanta have given the impression they are pretty secure at 3 and 4 respectively.
But the best story is that no one seems to know what the Islanders are going to do.
Many think they like Duchene, but won't take him at #1, but rather trade down a spot or two to get him and another pick. The uncertainty of the Islanders could set the ball in motion as far as teams trying to move up in the draft.
And the Vinny talk is still dominating the floor. What if Montreal can acquire him? This place would go nuts.
If Tampa doesn't get Hedman and take Tavares, would that make them more likely to move Vinny? It's almost mind blowing thinking of all the possibilities.
And can anyone tell me how I can disengage the update that goes to my cell phone telling me JOE SMITH is now following you on twitter. I love that people are following me there, but my phone has been ringing all day with these updates. I need to figure out how to stop it...ha
1:30 p.m MST
Right now...Front and centre in the middle of draft floor Brian Burke is on the horn.
He looks relaxed, his gum is getting one hell of a work out, tie undone, pacing back and forth in an area where no one can hear what he is saying. I wish I had one of those big cones that allows you to hear things from 50 feet away..
**Makes check list for next year...cord thingy for computer and camera...Cone thingy to hear things...Get a tech book to know what the hell Firefox and Chrome is...****
2:45 p.m MST
Regarding the Oilers/Thrasher rumour, (Oilers 4th, Cogliano and Gilbert for Lehtonen, Armstrong and #4) I just got a text that says that package is not correct, but they have had talks.
Discussions are happening, because the Oilers feel they need to get #4 to get Kane.
Kane is drawing comparisons to being 90% of what Jarome Iginla is as a player. If that is indeed the case then he'd be a great pick up.
I know this for sure...The Oilers are trying hard to move up. If they don't it won't be the end of the world for them, but they feel this is a great opportunity for them, and it would be the first time ever that the Oilers have moved up in the top ten in any draft.
Fans have already started to show up. The second deck is almost full. A "go Leafs go "chant was quickly booed and replaced by "Lets' go Habs." We are still more than two hours away from the official start but the fans here are just as anxious as NATION readers to get this going.
3:00 p.m MST
Teams are starting to file in. Scott Howson and the Blue Jackets are here...most of the Devils staff, sand big Lou...I just went down the stairs to say congrats to the hall of famer. Good guy. He's pretty humble about his Hall of Fame nomination.
*** Now they are pumpin out some Black Eyed Peas...Gotta get that...or Boom Boom Pow...not sure what title is, but some heifers are dancing in the second deck...I didn't need to see that.***
Still no sighting of anyone from the Oilers, or Thrashers or Kings or Islanders.
But the rumble on the floor is that the Islanders are leaning towards Duchene. That would be quite the start to the draft.
Now the Coyotes, Kings, Bruins, Ducks, and a few members of the Senators are on the floor.
Cam Neely and Brian Burke and a long and laugh-filled convo.
Howson and Ducks GM Bob Murray and Chiarelli from Boston are talking. The Bruins currently have #25, while the Ducks have 15 and Jackets 16. The Bruins have talked about wanting to move up, so maybe something will happen between them.
3:23 p.m. MST
The man of the hour has arrived. Garth Snow is in the HOUSEEEEE...okay so there was no theme music but right now he has everyone guessing what he will do. Most teams are here, except Chicago, Pittsburgh, NYR, Nashville,St. Louis, Calgary and Atlanta the the Oilers. It makes you wonder if the Thrashers and Oilers are still trying to hammer something out.
I just spoke with Rishaug and Dreger from TSN and they confirm that the Thrashers have indeed made it clear they are now open to offers. The Oilers are interested in that pick, but so are the Kings, Leafs and Dallas Stars. It might be a bidding war.
The Senators have lowered their trade demands for Heatley. They were supposed to be looking for a top-six forward, top-four D-man and a pick/prospect, but have relented a bit. Heatley's value seems to be diminishing as the day goes on.
The Canadiens management team has arrived to a huge roar from the crowd.
4:00 p.m. MST
The Oilers arrived about five minutes ago and right away Tambellini and Lowe were swarmed by TSN guys. Lots of laughing but didn't look like they got much out of them.
Had a great conversation with Daryl Evans, colourman on Kings broadcasts and former NHLer. He is certain the Kings will draft a forward, with all their depth on the backend. He fully expects the Kings to make a move via trade or free agency for sure.
Lots of friendly convo going on between media and various team management types, but it seems like the calm before the storm right now. Let's get it on.
4:36 p.m. MST
As of right now the Oilers have nothing definite, but it is still an hour away from the 4th and 5th picks, and even longer until their own pick.
Remember how late their deals came about at the deadline with O'Sullivan and Kotalik.
Craig Button said on my radio show earlier this week that many teams overvalue their pick on draft day, and that's why many deals fall through at the last moment, because the ransom is just too much.
It sounds like that might be the case with the Thrashers. Their demands for the Oilers might be too rich right now. Tambellini won't over pay, because the Oilers still feel they can get a quality player at #10. If they don't move up, I'd expect Glennie or MPS to be called by the Oilers.
Bruins just got introduced and got booed heavily. Gotta love rivalries.
5:06 p.m. MST
Former Habs owner George Gillette address the crowd. Lots of energy in the building. Each team had to announce who would call the name of their draft pick, and it will be Steve Tambellini for the Oilers.
Everyone is waiting patiently for this to start. There has been a bit of a delay, and now they are showing highlights of some of the top prospects. Tavares was shown first...is that foreshadowing, we shall see soon.
This big screen is crystal clear. It is awesome.
Now there are previewing Hedman. I hope they don't do the top ten or the draft won't start until 5:30
5:11 p.m MST
Dreger reports that Pronger has been dealt to Philly. It sounds like Lupul, but more details to come. The Flyers continue to surprise, and now maybe Lupul and Pronger have been involved in a deal for the second time.
5:17 p.m MST
Finally the first pick. Garth Snow makes everyone wait a bit more with some thanks to Montreal and their fans and then he goes with what I expected John Tavares. The fans at Nassau are busting it out with some confetti. A strong contingent of Islander fans here are cheering loudly.
Expect Hedman #2 and then Duchene #4...The intrigue will come if the Thrashers hold their pick or deal it.
5:53 p.m MST
WE had to wait 25 minutes to talk to Tavares. Well spoken young man, and he is very focused on bringing back success to Long Island. I knew the Islanders would take him, it was too big of a risk to pass up on a guy with his goal scoring ability. Hedman might be just as good, but the Islanders needed a scorer.
THey are playing highlights of players blocking shots on the big screen. Classic. And every time they show a picture of Vinny the place goes nuts. If the Habs somehow trade for him, I bet there will be a five minute ovation.
Larsson is soft, but it isn't surprising that the Coyotes took him. They have made some horrible first round picks and he might be another.
The "67" chant rains down from the rafters. That is awesome. That is a great chant. If the Oilers ever win the Cup again, you can bet that the next year Oiler fans will chant Eighty...NINE when the Flames come to town.
Burke can't even speak. This is one of the few times he has to pause before he speaks, so he'll probably say something good. Kadri is a solid pick. His tenacity is his best asset say the scouts.
6:31 p.m MST
I will be stunned if the Oilers don't choose LW Magnus Paajarvi Svensson. If they do I wonder if they will stitch both names on the back of the jersey. His numbers don't show it 7-10-17 in 50 games in the SEL, but they like his speed and offensive prowess.
I'll be curious if he stays in Sweden of they bring him over to play Major Junior.
He can skate, and some compare him to Markus Naslund. We'll go see what MacGregor and company have to say about him.
7:15 p.m. MST
MacGregor on Svensson.."He's a big power forward who takes it to the net and is a great skater. He's already played in two world junior tournament and will have another opportunity to play in Saskatoon this year. His game is an up tempo game and that's what we are hoping he can play in the NHL"
I also asked MacGregor about the plan looking ahead to round two and beyond.
"For our second pick we are going to go with a projection pick, a player that has a real big upside. Before I came to talk to you we were looking at what the scenarios would be and if we could make an attempt to try and get back in the first round"
7:30 p.m. MST
The Hab fans go nuts when the Canadiens are put on the clock. It was deafening in here. They start to sing their patented O le O le O le Ohhh lee song. They are hoping for a trade annoncement with Tampa Bay, but it won't happen. The Bolts aren't moving Vinny at this moment.
7:36 p.m MST
Hab fans give Louis Leblanc a standing ovation after his name is called at #18.
The Oilers are working the phones and might have another pick before the day is out.
They liked D-man John Moore and he is still available, also Carter Ashton is still out there...
7:51 p.m. MST
The Flames trade down three picks and add a 3rd rounder from New Jersey. Could the Devils "Parise" them like they did the Oilers back in 2003. The Devils moved five spots to take Parise, while the Oilers got the 22nd and 68th picks which turned out to be Pouliot and Jacques.
The Devils just took Jacob Josefson, the 4th Swede taken in the first round already.
8:26 p.m. MST
The energy in the building is similar to the feeling on the Nation...subdued. It was a good ride, but now they want it to end. You have to be respectful of the young kids waiting for their name to be called.
Awkward moment of the day comes for the Johansson family. Marcus Johansson went 24th to the Capitals and his family was very excited, his mom gave him the longest kiss or any mom on the day. It was good comedic relief for the crowd and got a mixed reaction.
Just going to interview Tambellini will be back with his thoughts in a bit.
8:52 p.m MST
I asked Tambellini how close he was to moving up into the top five.
"We knew that at pick ten it would take something incredible for us to move. If I had a pick in the top four, I don't think I would have moved to far down, maybe five or six, but to move to ten it would have taken a lot for that team to accept our deal."
Does the Pronger trade reveal how much it will cost to get a superstar? Is the asking price that high?
"Depends on who the player is I guess. Pronger is a dominant player and he will change what Philly looks like. That is a franchise type move, not just a player move. "
Do you think something will still be available on the table tomorrow?
I don't know. There is so much discussion, it's almost like the trade deadline where you feel like you've talked to everyone a dozen times around the horn. There was so much talk coming into today I thought maybe there would be a little bit more than what happened, but it could be tomorrow. There's lots that can happen tomorrow or before July 1st."
That wraps up day one from the 2009 NHL entry draft. Only one big move, and a move by the Flyers that has many wondering if they overpaid for the Human Rake, giving up Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first rounders. The Oilers did get a LW but it wasn't Heatley who many fans were hoping for.
And I wonder if the Flames in fact gave the Devils some compensation for signing Brent Sutter. The Flames had the 20th pick and traded down to Devils pick at 23. The Flames did get a 3rd rounder, but you wonder if that was a back door hand shake.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Interesting to hear the Souray rumours are heating up again. I really hope the Oil could pry Dustin Brown out of LA, though I feel they would have to sweeten the pot a bit more.
Honestly, I think moving Souray to the kings for their 5th is a great move....just not sure we will get Kane at that pick. Maybe the Oil have something in place to flip picks with Atl once we get the 5th.
I think if we move Souray there is a good chance Jaybo is coming our way...otherwise not sure why they would trade him...either way, things are definately getting excited.
Great work thus far Gregor and glad to see my donation going to a very good cause...we are going to make this an annual thing...right??? may a bunch of us could go....lol.
Who fired up the supercomputer finally? Props to whatever/whoever you had to do to get the site back up and running smoothly.
Why are the Oilers looking at moving Souray? I don't have anything factual but he seems to be a good fit here. Any insights?
June 26 2009, 11:35AM
Nice work Jason! Keep it coming.
I hope the site holds up when the draft is on. Can't say I didn't see this coming though, it crashed when mact got fired so its more likely to do it today.
@ offside: Souray's ex lives in LA with his kids, so this makes the Kings and the Oil likely trading partners. If he is moved, it helps accomplish two things, Souray gets to be close to his kids and the Oil move up in the draft. It has nothing to do with whether Souray is a good fit for the Oil or not.
June 26 2009, 11:45AM
Aha, you're back. Yay! Sounds like superdrama regarding Heatley. I wonder what happens if it turns out CAA is right on the money. Ottawa could become the new Edmonton in terms of desiriablility for players. I am loving this coverage, Jason.

May have been a little premature on that call. But it's getting there.
Souby wrote:

I agree. LA would definitely need to give the Oilers more than Brown for Souray.
@ Souby: I am guessing it would be Frolov and a 3rd round pick.

I think it takes a while for the new dilithium crystal to get up to working speed. Too bad. I bet Bingofuel was saving it for an awesome porn session.
BTW - Is the Walkabout Pub a "guys" bar?
Here's the latest from DARREN DREGER'S TWITTER: "Tor, Philly, Minny and LA closing in on Ryane Clowe. SJ still trying to sign him."

Madman37 wrote:

Frolov would be a heck of an addition. I mentioned Dustin Brown earlier because he can score and he hits everything in sight. Maybe the Oil could give LA Souray, Nillson and the 10th pick for Dustin Brown and the 5th.
Gregor: I lost the little cord thingy that connects my camera to the computer, but then somebody showed me there's a port on my laptop which accommodates the little memory card from my camera. Plug-n-play, no cord thingy required.

Souray could be traded? No way. I'm not buying it . . .
Souby wrote:

Oilers arent getting enough for Souray in that deal. Oilers keep the 10th and still get the 5th, now we're talking.
Brown has done nothing in his career to suggest he is anything close to fair value for a 50+ point 20+ goal defenseman who is tough as nails. Souray is a VERY VALUABLE asset. Think of better players than Brown. And the Oilers arent in the same kind of position as Ott. They dont NEED to trade him.

Your kidding, right?
Hey Jason, I'm a Flames fan living in Montreal, and working in a fun-ass Quebecer bar. Not sure how your night's agenda is looking after the draft, but If you need a place with good drink and an Albertan or two, come on by and see me at 'La Distillerie' (2047 avenue Du Mont-Royal Est). It's about a $10 cab ride from downtown, but worth the trip. Would love to meet up with a fellow Westerner and Talk Hockey. You have my email. Email me if you are interested. I'll be on 'Mojito Bar'
I'm no computer/camera whiz so ignore this if I'm just demonstrating that this is the case, but does your computer have a card slot that would accept your camera photo card? I don't have a cord to transfer pics camera/comp so that's how I do it.
That aside I'm reading your blog with interest and appreciate your work.

Jeez Robin, if you'd just role up your sleeves, maybe you'd ~finally~ land a scoop.
So, what will the Oil be doing in August. You are from the future, right?
@ RossCreek: I think he's serious. I would love that trade, but I don't think LA would trade Brown. That is why I think Frolov is more realistic.
I echo the comments of 'Whaaa?'
Brown is their captain.. Souray is good, but so is brown.. but without a doubt.. id take brown, hands down... nevermind retaining a superior draft pick...
@ RossCreek: If somehow the oil can get brown and 5 for souray and 10 that would be a steal for Edmonton. Brown is EXACTLY what we need!!
PS - even if we dont get Kane at 5, stealing Schenn from Burke would be awesome! lol
@ Robin Brownlee: Anyone is tradeable providing it works for all parties. I believe Souray has a no-trade clause, but if he had a chance to be near his kids, don't you think he would take it?
The tech team recently yelled out "The database is getting 60 queries per second right now! The site can't handle that kind of heat."
Bingofuel and I just stood back and smiled proudly.
Then cried a bit.
Then smiled again.
The brains are on the case to keep this site running smoothly as possible. Gods help us if anything actually HAPPENS!!
Gregor some guy on another board (not hb) was saying a deal with Atlanta is all but done it goes to Atlanta Gilbert, Cogs and the 10th pick to Edmonton Armstrong, Lehtonen and the 4th pick, why in gods name would they do this, if they would add Cogs to get Heatley why would they make this deal it's a lot to give up and we can get a stating goalie off UFA this just doesn't make any sense.
Souby.. why would LA go for it...
On other sites I was hearing the same deal, pick switch plus souray for frolov... perhaps I under value souray, but why would LA do it?..
Interesting tidbit from ANDY STRICKLAND on Dany Heatley: Things would really be interesting if Senators Owner Eugene Melnyk sticks to his threat of not paying Heatley his signing bonus if they are unsuccessful in moving him. A league source tells me Melnyk has said "There is no way we are paying him his $4 million bonus, I don't care if he sues us."
RossCreek wrote:
Your kidding, right?
Totally kidding. 53 point forwards are totally worth 53 point defensemen. Totally.
Brown is a guy that plays a game the Oilers miss, that doesnt mean they should give up one of the top 10 offensive defensemen in the league to get him. Hello guys! Souray can get a heck of a lot more than Brown. Swapping the 10th and 5th still probably doesnt make up for the Value lost in that trade.

Didn't Brownlee suggest a potential Souray trade back in April? Isn't that what he was getting at, being sarcastic? ~
@ swany: Totally agree about that wacky Atl proposal. If the Oilers are giving up THAT much they better be getting a proven guy like Heatley.
@ RossCreek: Not kidding. I love Brown as a player. I am not saying he is a first-liner, but he can score and hits like a mack truck. This is the type of player the Oil not just want, but need!
If the Oil could move the contracts of Souray and Nillson for Brown it would give them an extra 4.225 million in cap space. Then they could pursue guys like Bouwmeester, Gaborik, Havlat, Hossa....take your pick.
@ Archaeologuy: Umm, he's also about 8 or 10 years younger and has one of the best contracts in the league!

Why would they trade a secondary player who cant play in his own zone for a premier defenseman who can quarterback a PP and score a comparable amount of goals all while being a physical force?
@ Dominoiler: It looks like they are going to lose Johnson on the back end, so maybe they feel that Souray would fill that void?
@ Souby: The "your kidding" comment was at Arch.
@ RossCreek: Sorry man, my bad.
Look! Look! The site is working!

Agreed, Although Brown plays the type of hockey everyone loves, he doesn't have near the value of Souray

All I'll say is I've been trumpeting Lehtonen & Armstrong out of ATL for a long There is a price to be paid to move up from 10th to 4th. I was thinking Lehtonen & 4th for Gilbert & 10th. Interesting
@ Archaeologuy: It's all about value for dollars spent. If you can get 60% of Souray's value for 30% of the price it's a sweet deal.
Brown is more physical than Souray, although its a strength for both.. perhaps I am under valueing Souray, but I dont see them trading away brown, period.. btw, Souray doesnt quaterback the PP, he has got a bomb of a shot that is utilized that other player(s).. you make a good point that souray is an upper-level d-man, but.. still..
@ CalvinC: That's all i'm saying. Brown is a fine player and would likely fit with Tambi's vision. But you dont give up one of the Leagues best offensive Dmen for a second liner. It's bad asset management, especially when there has been no trade demand like Heatley in Ottawa. The Oilers are in the driver's seat. They dont have to drive off the cliff if they dont want to.

The same way it does when you won't trade Hemsky for Lecavalier.

Sportsnet is reporting that the salary cap is on the rise. It's $56.8 mil up from $56.7.
What do the Oilers do with the extra $100,000

@ Archaeologuy: Agreed, Although Brown plays the type of hockey everyone loves, he doesn't have near the value of Souray
Everyone's talking about this like it's a one-for-one. There is a LOT of value in moving from #10 to #5 in this draft
@ Dominoiler: The way I see it the Oil need more than physicality coming back for Souray. Defensemen (IMO) are much more valuable than forwards, and Defensemen who are second in Goal scoring and 8th in total points are even more valuable.
