A lot of my publishing journey has exceeded my expectations. These gorgeous stands that will go up in bookstores? Pretty much the physical manifestation of my wildest dreams. That's why I keep them in my office. They're a reminder of how lucky I am. That, and they are PRETTY SO PRETTY.
But Editor Erica (hmmm, she's a senior editor officially, but I think she needs a new title, too. How about, Empress Editor Erica? Then we've got the whole alliteration thing going, and I always adore alliteration) had something for me, too. The paperback of Paranormalcy! And now we're singing "Paperback writer." My house is filled with song today thanks to HarperTeen.
But oh! What's that? In the back of the paperback? Why yes, yes it is:

Lee Regional Medical Center shuts down
LEE COUNTY, Va. - Lee Regional Medical Center closes its doors for good as of 12:00 a.m. Tuesday.
For weeks patients and hospital staff have been trying to figure out what to do with out their longtime hospital in Lee County, Virginia.
Longtime Lee County resident Don Williams said, "I was at the ball game the other night when a boy got hurt and had to be transported to a hospital and my wife turned to me and said where does he go in two weeks?".
Lee Regional Medical Center has been serving the community for 70 years.
Wellmont Health System says Medicare cuts, low patient volumes, and lack of reliable doctor coverage forced them to close the hospital.
Spokesman Jim Wozniak said they've been moving equipment out and meeting with staff to talk about their job options.
"Because of the size of our organization we consistently we openings within our organization and they are more than welcome to try for one of those positions", Wozniak said.
Wozniak told News 5 WCYB some patients will not have to travel far to see a doctor.
"Our physicians with Wellmont who see primary care patients will be continuing to see patients in one of the annexes to the hospital", said Wozniak.
Still others will have to drive at least 30 minutes to Lonesome Pine Hospital in Big Stone Gap.
Members of the community like Don Williams say having no convenient hospital makes it tough to bring more people and jobs to Lee County.
Williams said, "We're losing jobs all over the county and we never did have enough here to do much with and now it's a blow to our whole county. our county is hurting right now".
Wellmont Health System has not decided what to do with the building yet. For now they've moved the equipment out and will secure the facility.

UNEP applauds environment decision by Commission on Human Rights
Nairobi/Geneva, 25 April 2003 - The United Nations Environment Programme welcomes today's decision by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights emphasizing the strong link between human rights and a healthy environment.
"People can only achieve their full human potential when their natural environment is robust and respected," said UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer.
"The existence of clean air, clean water, a stable climate, thriving wildlife and well-managed natural resources determines the extent to which people can enjoy their basic rights to life, health, food, housing, livelihood and culture," he said.
Today's decision on "Human Rights and the Environment as Part of Sustainable Development" states that the "protection of the environment and sustainable development can also contribute to human well-being and potentially to the enjoyment of human rights".
"Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms are essential for achieving sustainable development … Environmental damage can have potentially negative effects on the enjoyment of some human rights," it says.
The decision further "stresses the importance for States, when developing their environmental policies, to take into account how environmental degradation may affect disadvantaged members of society."
The Commission's decision provides a good basis for further cooperation between UNEP and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on promoting the linkages between human rights and the environment, including efforts to strengthen the role of the judiciary in supporting the goals of sustainable development.
The 1972 Stockholm Declaration, which also created UNEP, marked the international community's first official recognition of the fundamental link between human rights and environmental protection. It states that "Man has the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being, and he bears solemn responsibility to protect and improve the environment, for present and future generations."

Deer Creek Middle School will hold an open house for parents and students on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a chance for students to gather any belongings left behind after the shootings on Tuesday.
Students can also see teachers and visit the building to ease any anxiety about returning to school.
Deer Creek is planning to resume classes on Monday with a regular school day for all students. Buses will run on
their usual schedules.
Counselors will be available in every classroom on Monday in case students or staff need to talk with
Flappers and jitterbugs filled Abiding Hope Lutheran Church on Feb. 20 and quite literally danced the night away. As many as 50 people gathered for a 1920s-style dance-a-thon fund-raiser that began at 7 p.m. and ended 12 hours later.
And unlike some Haiti-relief benefits, the dance did not require donations of food or clothing — participants paid cash for the privilege of staying up all night, and 100 percent of the money generated by the event is set to go to the people of Haiti.
Jefferson County has a new addition to its Workforce Center that has employees buzzing: a small coffee shop that serves locally roasted beans and provides barista training to special-needs students and clients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
Training Grounds, the aptly named café, offers everything one would find in a commercial coffee operation. Coda Coffee Co. provides fair-trade beans, and all of the sandwiches are made fresh daily by Warren Tech culinary-arts students.
The owner of Mr. Biggs apparently intends to pull out of the South Jeffco entertainment center and is planning legal action to force the former owner to take back the business, a development that surfaced Feb. 18 at an unusual change-of-corporate-structure hearing before the county liquor-licensing board.
A Littleton man was sentenced to 40 years in prison last week following a guilty plea to charges related to a 2009 attack on a 59-year-old woman in her South Jeffco home.
Ryan Iliff, 23, admitted to failed attempts to gain access to another area home earlier on June 26, 2009. He gave up and went to the house next door, broke in and sexually assaulted the woman in her bedroom.
DENVER - Tony Pena needed 14 seconds to swell with confidence in his state championship match. With 16 seconds left in the bout, the Chatfield 130-pound junior allowed himself to feel elation.
Owner Art Cormier, who faces charges related to alleged nudity at the center during a fashion show, has agreed to an immediate 15-day suspension of Mr. Biggs' liquor license, should the business continue to be operated by Cormier or manager Larry Crook after March 20.
Crime rates in Jefferson County dipped slightly in 2009, though the number of homicides was equal to that of the preceding four years combined.
The county experienced a total of 3,037 major crimes, including homicides, thefts, unlawful sexual behavior and other crimes in 2009, down from 3,317 in 2008, according to data from the Sheriff's Office. The total number of minor crimes, such as forgeries, fraud cases and trespassing, also ebbed, going from 5,708 in 2008 to 5,356 last year.
Life is not the same for Deana Paprocki since she lost her 28-year-old daughter, Tessa, last year to breast cancer. But part of the grieving mother's healing process is to let other women suffering from the disease know they aren't alone.
Paprocki and her surviving daughter, Amy Bartleson, are organizing a bowling benefit in Tessa's memory that will raise money for cancer research and help provide mammograms to uninsured women.
Colorado painter Julie Madrid might never have imagined her work hanging in the main office of a South Jeffco school.
But three Falcon Bluffs Middle School students hand-selected one of the artist's iconic sky-scape paintings at last year's Cherry Creek Arts Festival, after the school won a $500 grant to obtain fine art. Madrid delivered the work last week and took time to speak with students about her life as an artist.

Federal Policy Guidelines
The Federal government has not issued formal
guidelines regarding what constitutes the "Last Day of Attendance" in
the online classroom. However, because of the potential for financial
aid fraud in online programs, the US Department of Education has
recently determined that there should be "regular and substantive
interaction between students and faculty" in online courses (Salomon and
What this means for distance education
It is not enough to evaluate a student's
attendance based solely on the number and frequency of logins or through
course statistics on the LMS. Instructors may drop students based on
their lack of participation in class. 'Attendance' (through logins) is
not the same as participation. Participation means actively completing
course activities in the LMS such as assignments, assessments, posting
on discussion forums, etc.
Participation policies must be clarified in the online syllabus
GCC's Drop Policy Guidelines
Once enrolled in courses, students are not considered dropped or withdrawn unless:
A grade of "W" will not be made on the
permanent academic record of a student who drops or is dropped from the
course or from college:
The face-to-face policy of 'attending' the first class, particularly
for students who are new to distance education may present a problem.
There are often students who, either because they are unaware of the
policies or overwhelmed by the technology, may login to the course but
might not complete any of the assignments by the orientation meeting + 2
It is therefore important for online and hybrid instructors to
provide a coherent and well-defined course drop policy and to articulate
this in the initial email and Welcome Letter (see above) sent to the
students 2 working days prior to the course orientation date as well as
in the online course syllabus.

"I love the look of the shoe, I love the insole and the heel height...but I ordered a 9.5, which was the same size as another pair of Sofft heels that I own, and they were painfully small and incredibly cramped in the toe. I would have to try these on in the store before re-buying them or any other Sofft shoe online."

"The only comment I have about these pumps is that I ordered mine true to size and the back comes off your feet as you walk. I'll need to purchase some shoe stuffers/pads to prevent the shoes from being slightly big. As you walk around the office or wherever you go, they are comfortable. Wore them for 9 hours. They are simple black shoes purchased primarily for work. Closed toe pumps that I needed. I would recommend these to a friend."

The Lady Spartan tennis team of Emery High School traveled to Snow College in Ephraim last weekend to participate in the Region 8 tennis tournament. The team finished in a tie for third place with the Lehi Pioneers. North Sanpete won the region meet with Delta finishing second.
The Spartans played 11 matches during the season and seemed to improve each and every match. According to Coach Tom Hansen,"The girls improved their individual play all year long. The girls really improved their play at the region meet."
The Spartan players for the year were first singles Tiffany Frisbee, a junior, and second singles Trista Cowley, a senior. Both Frisbee and Cowley finished fourth in region but both took their matches to three sets before losing. Eve Guymon, a sophomore, played third singles. After going into the meet as a fourth seed, Guymon pulled the upset and finished second. Guymon, according to her coach, greatly improved her serving as she gave up on the softball swing, softened her power and went for service placement.
Playing at first doubles this year are Whitney Erickson, a junior, with Nicole Sanders, a senior. At second doubles were Shalantie Minor, also a senior, and Alison Ware, another senior. Both doubles teams finished third at the region meet.
With all players advancing to the state meet this week, Spartan fans are looking forward as their team continues to improve. The State meet is being held at Mike's Tennis Academy in Salt Lake City. The inexact location is off Foothill Drive by the Bonneville golf course. Good luck tennis team.

Skip to comments.Turkey accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing' in Gaza
Posted on 11/20/2012 5:56:58 PM PST by bruinbirdman
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, saying the Jewish state's air raids could not be considered self-defence.
"Israel is committing ethnic cleansing by ignoring peace in this region and violating international law," Erdogan said. "It is occupying the Palestinian territory step by step."
The premier said Israeli air raids against Gaza could not be deemed self-defence, accusing Western countries of aiding what he called a "terrorist state" by condoning its violence.
"Sooner or later, Israel will answer for the innocent blood it has shed so far," he said.
Erdogan's words came after Israel halted a threatened Gaza ground operation to give Egyptian-led truce talks a chance to end nearly a week of cross-border violence that has killed more than 100 Palestinians and three Israelis.
He said Turkey, Egypt and the Gulf countries, particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, had to take their own initiative, accusing the United Nations Security Council of doing nothing to save Gazans.
"It is against them today, tomorrow it will be us, keep that in mind," he said. "If we are going to die, let's go down with decency. Keep that in mind too."
In Washington, the United States -- an ally of both Israel and Turkey -- was upset with the harsh words.
"Some of the extremely harsh rhetoric coming from Turkey we do not consider helpful at all," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
"Of course we don't agree with some of these very difficult statements that have been coming there. And we've made those views clear to the Turks," she said.
On Monday, Erdogan said the UN "turned a blind eye" on Israeli attacks against Palestinians, accusing the international body of double standards against Muslims.
Erdogan emerged as a staunch advocate of the Palestinian

Screw the Muslims. They need to learn how to keep their radical nut jobs under control.
Time for the Kurds to launch their strikes on turkey from northern Iraq. I support dropping off a few weapons to help.
well if anyone knows ethnic cleansing it's turkey ,but I don't think Gaza is part of Israel ,it's a neighboring cesspool
What a jerk! (This being the same stupid guy who tried to provoke a war with Israel just a couple years ago). Ethnic cleansing, eh? Ask any Armenian what "ethnic cleansing" really looks like, Erdovan. Sheeesh! Its miraculous the world survives with such people running governments!
...ignoring peace in this region and violating international law..
I guess he forgot about those pesky little rockets that keep landing in Israel, huh?
"It is occupying the Palestinian territory step by step."
Uh, didn't Israel Gaza for
The Turks certainly know how to do ethnic cleansing. Just ask the Armenians, the Anatolian Greeks, the Kurds, etc.
The muzzies would know ALL ABOUT 'ethnic cleansing'. It's all about their past, present, and future.
There would be no cleansing, ethnic or otherwise, if the idiots in Gaza hand not started firing rockets into Israel. I know I'm stating the obvious but there it is. To bad the rest of the world can't get their heads around this simple fact.
The main problem is moslems are ALL radical nutjobs. So it falls to others to "cleanse".
And P.S. Referring to them as "Muslims" may be politically correct , but referring to them as "moslems" is an insult... They are moslems.
A Muslim in Arabic means"one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means"one who is evil and unjust"
Thanks for info! I did not know that! I'll keep it mind.
You are welcome. Please keep it in the front of your mind. The HELL that is Islam isn't something I will willingly leave for my children and grandchildren to deal with.
this planet needs to 'ethnically cleanse ' itself of all muslims . The human face needs to save it's gene pool , before it's too late
Check out my post #12. Calling them muslim is an insult to me. :-)
Wasn't enough..... NOW!!!!...its social "drift"...same as in the US...we don't have enough illegal immigrants yet.... need to hit the tipping point......./S
Mohammedan moslem
Love it!
moozlum credo: I love you. I will murderer you and your family.
I had a dream last year. Never forgot it. It was very powerful and led me to do some research. It was a booming nonsound. Can't describe it because it filled my head with shockwaves, but it was simple.
Guess who the Medes are.
Mmmmmmm.....turkey.......with dressing......cranberries......gravy......fish lips......just checking to see if you were paying attention.
Erdogan can go "do" himself. Israel's land, their business and their right to protect themselves and not put up with $h!t from hamas.
Time for Israel to step up aid to the Kurds.
Exactly, and I don't believe in the Frenchie "islamic spelling" crap either.
The moslems hang out in mosks conspiring to commit gee-hawed.
It's Irack, or Erock if you wish. Not Al Qaida but rather alkida. Kadoffy, etc etc
Since the moslems don't use the English alphabet, there is no right or wrong way to spell their words. We need to spell it like it sounds.
After all, we're Merkins.
LOL. Considering a thousand years of perpetual genocide of numerous ethnicities by Turkey it sounds far further than sipmply a keg and a pot.
After that, the Israeli's are free, under any law to retaliate utterly.
If nation A attacks nation B, that is a license for nation B to use any and all force, even utterly disproportionate.
err.. Erdogan, what about the Kurds or the Alawis? Or the Syriac Christians? or the Assyrians? or the Armenians?
or, you can call them Mohammedans... that will really tick them off...
Of course, English didn't come around until 4500 years later :)

Love it!
"This purse is great. Just the size I was looking for without looking too bulky. I love how you can use the handles or fold the top over and use the strap. It has one outside pocket on the back that is perfect for easy access to keys or phone. I've gotten a couple compliments on it already. The metal accents are a nice muted brass, which is great because I HATE gold accents. Great sale on a great bag!"

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

Holyoke, Massachusetts Mayor Alex Morse's announcement that he would consider a casino development in the city adds another player to the competition for the siting of a casino in western Massachusetts. Only one casino proposal will be chosen for the region's single license as allowed by the state's 2011 gambling law. The law allows for up to three casinos in the state.
But one factor that may get lost as casino talk swirls through the region on a daily basis, is when a casino would actually be open for business.
"If we award the license, say, February of 2014, then it would one and a half to two years probably after that before the casino would be fully up and running."
That's Stephen Crosby, chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, the state-appointed board charged with overseeing the casino development process. Crosby says along with a $400,000 application fee to the state, all potential applicants must submit background information on their companies and administrators by January 15th.
"Anybody that has any significant impact on the management of a casino facility will need to be investigated, and will need to be clean as a whistle."
Then the proposal and a host community agreement must be approved by local voters through a referendum. Crosby says the referendum process will most likely begin next summer.
"If a referendum approves a host community agreement and a proposal, then it comes to us, and we will pick from all the proposals in each of the three regions. We could be making decisions as soon as a year from now."
The proposal, Crosby says, must include economic impacts and plans to mitigate problem gambling. If the commission approves a proposal, a licensed company would be required to pay the state another fee of at least $85 million. Crosby notes the commission is not required to approve any casino licenses.

Top 5: 12/4 to 12/6
December 3, 2009 · Print This Article
Sup ya'll. Time for another rousing round of what the f*#k is Steph doing this weekend?, aka The Top 5! You ready? Well, here you go:
1. A Crash of Critters at Fill in the Blank
Ok, so I've got the love for Fill In The Blank, it's in my neighborhood, and they always put out a good spread and some tasty eye candy. This round is no exception. Based (as I understand) on the idea of ascribing hilarious names to groups of animals, this will appeal to all people interested in cartoon animals and those of us who own, willingly, a copy of James Lipton's "An Exaltation of Larks."
Fill in the Blank is located at 5038 N. Lincoln Ave. Opening reception Friday, 7-10pm.
2. Obsession In Ice at Carl Hammer Gallery
So, I'm not generally one for holiday themed art shows. As a matter of fact, I generally hate them. This show, however, is an exception. Featuring the work of Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, this show brings to us some of the first images ever made of individual snowflakes. A farmer/scientist, Bentley captured the first image ever of an individual snowflake in 1885. So, go to the show, muse on old-school science, and remember: you are an unique and individual snowflake, just like everybody else.
Carl Hammer Gallery is located at 740 N. Wells. Opening reception Friday, 5:30-8:30pm. Read more

Canada's men's national senior team opens season at Pan Am Cup May 24- 29 in Puerto Rico
OTTAWA – Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., the head coach of Canada's senior men's volleyball team finalized his line-up today for the Pan Am Cup tournament May 24-29 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This is the first tournament of the 2010 season for Team Canada, currently ranked 20th in the world, which is ultimately preparing for the world championships this September in Italy. A 19-member senior national team was announced last week following a selection camp and 12 of those players are headed to San Juan.
"We are going into this tournament with little preparation as a team," said Hoag. "So we really want to find our rhythm again. Many players have only recently arrived from their seasons in Europe so there will be a certain level of fatigue and some are dealing with some wear and tear injuries. So we need to be vigilant with that."
The Canadians headed to San Juan are: Louis-Pierre Mainville of Notre-dame-de-l'Isle, Que., Adam Kaminski of Chatham, Ont., Adam Simac of Ottawa, Fred Winters of Victoria, Steve Gotch of Okotoks, Alta., Nicolas Cundy of Edmonton, Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon, Toon Van Lankvelt of Rivers, Man., Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., and Olivier Faucher of Plessisville, Que.
At the Pan Am Cup, Canada is in pool A with Brazil, currently ranked number-one in the world, and Colombia ranked 24th. Canada opens the round robin Tuesday May 25 against the Brazilians and meets Colombia on Wednesday.
Group B is comprised of the U.S., ranked second internationally, Mexico and Puerto Rico and the Group C teams are world number-10 Argentina, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela. The round robin will be followed by a playoff round with quarterfinals on Thursday, semis on Friday and the final on Saturday. A top-two pool finish in the round robin is needed to advance.
"The result for us will have a certain importance," said Hoag. "We don't know the line-ups of the other teams yet but obviously Brazil will definitely have high quality players. But winning is our top objective and we want to get the season off to a good start."

Get ready for white-knuckled listening. Greaney's debut novel - and future feature film - introduces the enigmatic and elusive Court Gentry, a former CIA operative and a legendary hired gun. With a terrifying ability to vaporize targets and a strict moral code, he stalks the gray margins of the world, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, then fading away. When his government and former employers turn on him, there is no safehouse to run to, no way to lie low. In a constant state of escape and pursuit, Gentry tears through the Middle East and Europe in a riveting life-or-death race against time.
Fast-paced, well-researched, and fun, The Gray Man is already being adapted for a movie by the company behind Tom Cruise's Knight & Day.
Check out the latest Gray Man novel, On Target, now.
©2009 Mark Greaney (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
"Through the carnage, Gentry remains an intriguing protagonist with his own moral code. Comparisons will be made to Jason Bourne, but the Gray Man is his own character. The ending screams for a sequel, but it will be difficult to maintain the intensity level of this impressive debut." (Booklist)
"Hard, fast, and unflinching – exactly what a thriller should be." (Lee Child)
"Bourne for the new millennium." (James Rollins)
"High Energy Ride!"
This story is for fans of characters like Jack Reacher, John Rain, Mitch Rapp, Ben Treven and others who prevail due to skills derrived from a history of disciplined practice and training, as well as inclination and talent. Modern supermen, although not invulnerable. Early on, I was afraid the story was going to get overheated, and exceed even my considerable willingness to suspend disbelief, but I was drawn in and was satisfied by the finish. I'll listen to the sequel. I like the reader Jay Snyder as well and will look for his name in the future.
"Action packed, edge of your seat "page-turner""
I finished this book (over 10 hours long) in one day; you will too if you are a fan of the modern espionage or action genre. The book is well-written and well-researched. The characters, setting and pace are perfectly balanced. More so, the action sequences are fast-paced and believable. Mark Greaney has a new fan in me. I haven't found an author I like this much since I discovered Vince Flynn's books. I'll be downloading Mr. Greaney's new book "On Target" the first day it is available.
I am an entertainer...so I spend a lot of time on the road. I take my audio seriously. I appreciate great writing and outstanding narration.
"They Run, They Fight, They Run Some More"
This book is one loooooooooong chase.
He's running...and is being set up again and again by some mysterious force. Repetitive and tiresome -- relentless in the running and/or chasing. Poorly developed characters doing exactly what you expect...a villain that will make you go "ho hum" and a hero the author has not taken the time to develop or make you care about even a little (which is kind of important in novels like this.)
A predictable cliche filled thriller ISN'T a thriller.
This isn't a thriller.
"Couldn't turn it off!"
What a spectacular book! Finished it at 2 am and bought the next one at 2:01. It's exciting, action-packed, wonderfully descriptive of the place and people, and not at all preachy. I'd write more but I'm going to buy book 3 now.
"Perils of Pauline"
The "Gray Man" of the title is an uber-assassin, moving like a ghost, striking unstoppably. That is what everyone in this book says, anyway. It turns out, this is no Day of the Jackal" and our hero is no "Bob Lee Swagger". In reality, as presented, he bumbles his way through Europe escaping the massive efforts of an evil (French, of course) corporation through a combination of extreme marksmanship and fighting skill while wounded, and dumb luck; he is often saved by the missteps of his enemies or, I kid you not, things like umbrellas. At one point he defeats an enemy who, as presented, he should lose to.
Speaking of wounds, this begins to seem like a Road Runner cartoon and the massive injuries our hero keeps bouncing back from become laughable. The dialog is sometimes very good indeed, and then, next paragraph, wincingly bad: chest-thumping macho stuff instead of the cold communication of professionals.
To give credit to the author,he presents us with an individual representing the corporation whom you really, really hate; good job there. Our assassin is a "good guy", trying to knock off only those who are evil. That may be unrealistic or impractical, but it is refreshing. He also makes an effort to respect the reader's intelligence by providing practical motivations for the corporations egregious allowance of general mayhem and emotional motivations for the hunter and the hunted. I cannot buy the corporations ultimate, unsatisfying reasons.
The ending is illogical and unsatisfying, but obviously designed to set up a sequel.
"Utterly unbelievable, but very good..."
If there is an espionage counterpart to Peter Benchley's "Jaws", this would seem to be it. The author serves up an unpretentious, fast-paced thriller featuring Court Gentry, a white knight assassin with more lives than Rasputin. Don't look for a lot of nuance here. But if you are going for a page turner, capably executed from beginning to end, this is it...
"I've discovered a new author! And reader!"
If you like thrillers as much as I do, you are going to love Mark Greaney's Gray Man. Yikes ??? Talk about relentless action! Not only does Greaney create an exciting plot, but he can also write. Court Gentry ??? the eponymous Gray Man ??? joins the ranks of fictional assassins ??? like Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon ??? for whom we root enthusiastically. Of course, Gentry only kills bad guys; so we can root for him without compunction. (I don't know how much these fictional good-guy assassins might correspond to anything in real-life; but, we all really appreciate them "taking out the trash," don't we?) Court Gentry is so tough and skilled that he seems virtually indestructible ??? although he does get pretty banged-up by the end of this novel ??? and we keep rooting for him the whole time, even through astonishing violence and blood-shed. Right now, I'm wondering what on earth Mr. Greaney could possibly come up with to top "The Gray Man;" but I'm eagerly forging ahead with his next novel ??? "On Target" ??? to find out. I suspect that I may have already succumbed to Greaney addiction, so I hope that he writes fast. To sweeten the pot, an excellent actor ??? Jay Snyder ??? narrates this audiobook. Good narration adds immeasurably to the fun of a good audiobook; and Jay Snyder has the chops to keep us listeners enthralled. In short: Unless you are very squeamish, buy this audiobook.
I'm actually a day old tart, filled with maple custard. Perhaps, this reads as a rational introduction to others, and you are deliberately misreading it, because, come on, maple custard.
"Maybe bias but I'm a fan..."
This was the first novel I'd read from this author. I'd just listened to all 60 whiny wheedling ear-bleeding hours of Atlas Shrugged, so hearing Snyder's manly voice, narrating for an impossible super-hero who uses current colloquialisms like '*sshat' and 'sh*tstorm' was extremely refreshing. If you're expecting a story where the protagonist needs a Dora the Explorer band-aid, and a group hug after every bruise he receives, you may want to pass this book by. The Gray Man is definitely the epitome of the a-hole hero that walks away from explosions without looking back.
I play high impact sports and work at a gym, and can say honestly that I'll take a handful of big bruises and cuts over muscle soreness any day, so it always bothers me when the men in a book can't seem to suck it up. A very fun read, very fast pace, I highly recommend.
Fast paced thriller. This is the first time I have read a book by this author and I will definitely be interested in reading additional books.
"Fun Thriller"
Although I agree with some of the other reviewers about a few "jump the shark" moments, I really enjoyed the first book in this series.
Granted the main character is a bit one-dimensional, but the story moved along at a good pace and with some excellent villains (especially that American guy, how refreshing it wasn't just some nasty foreigner) and some characters we actually care about (like the eight year old Claire), there was a lot to like in this thriller.
I didn't mind all the wounds and mayhem heaped upon our hero because how many times have you read in books or seen in movies of this genre where the person crashes through a plate glass window and emerges unscathed and you accept that?
I just wish there had been a little less of all the weapons detail with lots of Guns 101 where I got to know more about guns than I care.
I also wish there had been a smidge (yes, just a smidge) of romance with someone along the way. Maybe the next book.
And I first heard Jay Snyder with the Ex series and except for the eight year old's voice, he does a terrific job.
The narrator really does make a hash of some place names and his accents are hilarious, one Scottish character had several dialects, none of which i would describe as Scottish! The plot is ridiculous but, I actually enjoyed it, I listen to audio books after a hard day at the office whilst walking my dogs, 75% of books i listen to are background noise and i end up calling work colleagues rather than relaxing. The Gray man actually fell into the ultra rare 10% that made me look forward to my walk and actually the last 1/3 of the book made me add extra miles to my walk! Why? I really dont know, as i have said it is ludicrous, but it is a very easy listen and bizarrely you do want to know how it is all pulled together. If you are stressed or have a big project and want to switch off.....dive in, I dont think you will regret it.
"worst book i've ever had"
he only seems to be able to co-write books .Having just read support and defend (Tom Clancy) I was shocked and disappointed with this rubbish .Even Jack Reacher would not have survived this .It was so unbelievable.
starting it
How someone who co-wrote Tom Clancy books could write such utter drivel .
"Not for me."
For years I've enjoyed the Tom Clancy novels - having learned to bypass the politics and enjoy the main characters' romps. Given the collaboration between this author and Clancy I anticipated enjoying this book. Not the case. It's written as a series of film scenes, designed for some über-action man to show how tough he is. I love fiction, be it thrillers, adventures, science fiction, fantasy, so I have no expectation of "real life"; I live real-life , thank you! The exploits depicted here, however, beggar even suspended dis-belief. I don't like dissing writers, who are at least putting pen to paper, their money where their mouths are, etc, unlike me, an untalented non-writer, but reviews are requested and these are my honest opinions. Obviously a talented writer, this author should write either a screenplay or a novel and not try to combine both under one heading; concentrate on story rather than merely linking overly contrived events, thus ensuring the reader's involvement rather than seeming determined only to catch the eye of the movie-makers. (W's Missus.)
"A little ridiculous, but enjoyable too!"
My only complaint is the super-human main character, whose reputation is beyond legendary and whose feats could humble Arnie... A bit of vulnerability wouldn't go astray, in my opinion.
Overall, a fast-paced thriller that makes for an easy listen... Just hope the next is a little more subtle!
"Worse thriller I have ever read!"
The unbelievable plot
The next Jack Reacher book by Lee Child
Awful accents and wrongly pronounced place names
The first chapter, which showed promise
This book should have been placed in the comedy genre as I had a good laugh over the awful accents and mispronounced names
"Review of the Gray Man"
I enjoyed this audio book, quite a thrill a minute ride. It was clear however, even from the spelling of the title that it was written by, narrated by and intended for an American audience. UK listeners may wince at some of the errors in the detail and some of the narrators accents were distinctly dodgy. My only other slight criticism was that it was clear some break were made in the recording. I understand this is essential as the narrator cannot be expected to get each chapter in one 'take' but these were quite obvious and jarring.
All those niggles aside I may give the next book in line a listen at sometime.
"good story"
My first purely Grant book.
Good story fast moving action.
performance disappointed. Set in Europe but read by an American who cannot pronounce Englush or European words correctly such as Kalashnikov properly nor Bayeux....pronouncing it Bi-yoo. Lots of other such use of language which to me was annoying and spoilt it. I still recommended you listen. I will try the next in the series
"Loved it"
Loved this so much I have downloaded next 2 in the series.
Nod to rainbow 6, see if you spot it.
"A Great Book But Not So Great Narration."
This was another book and author that I have avoided for a while, thinking that I wasn't going to like them. I was wrong!
This isn't a book that will help you to ponder the mysteries of life, nor will it be ranked among the literary greats. What this book is, is entertaining, in bucket loads. The story line, in most parts, is well written, and the characters are well thought out. Yes it is extremely far fetched in places, but I don't mind that. Sometimes I want to read about the hero who can take a tremendous amount of punishment, and still keep going. Who can do things others can't, and who can think on his feet in times of stress. When I do read/listen to a book like this, I want to be entertained, and that's exactly what I was.
If you like the Jason Bourne type super agent, then you'll love this. If, however, you want a bit more depth to your books, you probably won't like it. And if, every once in a while, you want to read something action packed, and entertaining, don't do like I did and avoid this book, go get it.
Now the bad points:
The narration in this book is far from good. It wasn't bad enough to put me off, and when the narrator, Jay Snyder, was doing the main character, Court Gentry, it was actually pretty good, which is what saved the book for me. The problems start when the narrator tries to do foreign accents. They are dreadful. He made almost everyone else sound like Sean Connery, which you might just about get away with if every one was Scottish, but it's not what you want when the character is meant to be German, or Eastern European. If he didn't make them sound like Connery, he made them sound like a mix between Australian, Irish and Scottish, which I suppose in itself is a sort of skill, but definitely not called for in this book. Also, his pronunciation of some words plainly showed a lack of research. Even if you didn't know how to pronounce a word,a simple 60 second Google search would help.
Also, sometimes the writing was a little choppy, but it is kept to a minimum.
Overall, although the narration isn't great, the book is, which is why I was able to stay with it. Usually bad narration would ruin a book for me, but with this one, it just made it a little less great. I know that the same narrator had been kept on for the next book in the Court Gentry series. I hope he does a better job.
"Outstanding series any Lee Child fan would love."
This is a book where you would be best allowing yourself a whole day free, as once you pick it up, you will have great difficulty putting it down again. Court Gentry is the main character whose survival methods are ......... ( I won't say anymore as I do not want to spoil the content of the book ). Just for all the Lee Child fans I can sum this book up in just FIVE words - IMAGINE JACK REACHER ON STEROIDS !!!!!!
Court Gentry as he does not believe in the word NO.
Too many to pick one particular scene.
The only reaction I had to this book was to buy the other three in the series released so far the next day.
Read the books in order as there is a vague theme running through them.

Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney one win short of main draw at beach volleyball World Tour
MARSEILLES, France – Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney of Toronto made their season debut on the World Tour beach volleyball circuit on Tuesday and just fell one win short of reaching the main draw in Tuesday's qualifying rounds.
Bansley and Maloney, gold medallists last weekend at a stop on the NORCECA (North and Central America) circuit, opened the qualifier with two victories but lost the third match in a bid to grab one of eight available spots for the main draw. All three matches were on Tuesday.
Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke are pre-qualified for the main draw and open on Wednesday.
Men's competition starts Wednesday with the qualifying tournament. The Canadian entries for the qualifier are Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., as well as Ben Saxton of Calgary and Steve Marshall of Abbotsford, B.C.

The Sleep Train Charity Golf Classic doubled the event's expected donations goal, raising $500,000 for a grand five-year total of nearly $1.5 million in cash donations for foster youth agency programs along the West Coast.
Sleep Train hosted the private daylong event at Lincoln Hills Golf Club in Lincoln, CA where 400 people participated in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" themed eighteen-hole golf tournament and live dinner auction. Major proceeds from this year's event are being distributed among the following agencies, with a guarantee that the donations will be used to fund services and programs that directly impact the foster youth:
- Volunteers of America – Former Foster Youth Program
- First Place for Youth – My First Place and Steps to Success Programs
- Promise2Kids – Guardian Scholars Program
- Oregon State Assistance Commission (OSAC) – Dream Scholarship
- Treehouse – Education Engagement Program
"For foster children aging out of the system, going to college or finding an apartment on their own can feel completely out of reach," said Leo McFarland, president/CEO, Volunteers of America. "With support from Sleep Train, these young adults can make the transition to independent living, get help to apply for college and begin to dream about a career path where they can give back to the community that supported them."
Statistics suggest that fewer than 10% of former foster kids who have turned 18 go to college, and within 18 months of aging out of the system, up to 50% of foster youth become homeless. "Children shape the future of our communities, and we feel it is our responsibility as a company and a community to ensure all young adults have access to higher education and the support in place to pursue their dreams," said Dale Carlsen, founder and president of Sleep Train. "The Golf Tournament is an event we look forward to every year that brings together our team of employees, partners and vendors to have fun while raising money for a cause close to our hearts. We are proud of this year's achievement and humbled by the generosity of our participants to help shape a brighter future for these young adults."
The Sleep Train Charity Golf Classic drew participants from all over the United States including representatives from Simmons Bedding Company, the presenting sponsor, Sealy Mattress Company, Tempur-Pedic®, Leggett & Platt, Latex International, Serta Mattress Company, and DSI Delivery. The company's Foster Kids Program is currently hosting its first ever Dollar Drive for foster children through October 30, 2011. Donations in all denominations can be made at any Sleep Train location throughout California or online.

Games Pit
Games Pit - 1.0
Alfonso E.M. (alfem)
A (growing) collection of small games for children. I have a little son. I love it. I have got a little Raspberry Pi. I love it too (in a different way, of course). Thinking about both, I decided to make some simple games for him, using cheap and safe components: a (far enought) TV, a wireless mouse and keyboard and -of course- one of my Raspberry Pis. To make many games quickly I choose my favourite language, Python, and started coding a little framework to avoid repeating boring tasks (loading images and sounds, printing things on the screen, waiting for keypresses...) So Games Pit is an assortment of little games (including a launcher) and an easy to learn framework to create new games.

The Oilers Next Head Coach: Names Being Floated
Jonathan Willis
April 17 2009 10:51AM
I've discussed the list of possibilities before, and I've repeatedly stated that I think the Oilers next head coach will be one of four people: New Jersey head coach Brent Sutter (in the unlikely event that he's available), Manitoba Moose head coach Scott Arniel, Detroit assistant coach Paul MacLean, or Montreal assistant coach Don Lever. Still, that's just my list, and I've certainly overlooked at least one name (more on that below). Let's take a look at which names the print media is dropping.
Robert Tychowski doesn't go so far as to list who he thinks will get the job, but based on Tambellini's press conference he has some ideas:
The list of coaches out there who like tough, offensive-minded teams is long, from Bob Hartley to Pat Quinn to Marc Crawford, but Tambellini says he's in no rush to name MacTavish's successor.
Two of the candidates from that list make it over to the one that Jim Matheson offered up today. He tossed out a few additional names as well:
Perhaps New Jersey Devils coach Brent Sutter, or San Jose Sharks assistant coach Todd Richards. Or Scott Arniel, the AHL coach of the year (Manitoba Moose).
After offering those names, though, Matheson turned back to the two candidates who have the most history with Steve Tambellini: Crawford and Quinn. Quinn's comments are quite extensive, but Matheson mentions that Quinn may be a candidate for the G.M. job in Minnesota; if he is being seriously considered I doubt he'd jump at the Edmonton job (and for the record, I think the Wild could do much worse than Quinn in that position).
Crawford's comments are much less equivocal:
"I'm interested in the job," said Crawford, who saw the Oilers an awful lot this season doing colour commentary on late Hockey Night in Canada games. "But I'm not the only guy who knows Steve Tambellini. I'm sure he'll take a strong look at a lot of candidates. Hopefully I get a chance to get in and let him know how I feel. "It's going to be a job that a lot of people covet. I don't have pre- conceived notions. I know the people there will put two and two together. I know Steve will be very thorough," said Crawford.
Matheson mentioned Todd Richards, a man whose name also appears in Dan Barnes excellent column today:
We wait for Tambellini to build a list of coaching candidates, whittle it down and choose a successor. I think he will be youngish, from outside the Oilers' organization, he will favour aggressiveness and offence over defence, have particular acumen for plotting a potent power play and he will have professional head coaching experience though not necessarily at the NHL level. I think San Jose assistant coach Todd Richards will be just such a candidate in due course.
Richards was on my long list the other day; he failed to make the short list simply because he's only had one season of NHL experience and two seasons as a head coach in the AHL so I thought he might not be seasoned enough to get serious consideration for an NHL job. Still, what he's done in a short time is impressive, and also working in his favour is the fact that the Oilers organization has some familiarity with him; he was the coach of Wilkes-Barre Scranton in 2006-07, meaning that he had many current Oilers playing for him, including Gilbert, Brodziak, Nilsson and others. By all accounts he was an extremely professional AHL coach, and it may very well be that he's on the Oilers' short list.
Finally, Sun Media's Ken Wiebe focused on Scott Arniel:
While most pundits assume that means either Pat Quinn (who gave Tambellini his first job with the Vancouver Canucks) or Marc Crawford (a former Stanley Cup winner who also coached the Canucks) would be the likely successor, don't rule out Manitoba Moose head coach Scott Arniel to at least get an interview and possibly be a dark-horse candidate.
Arniel quite properly refused to discuss the possibility with Wiebe, as he's still coaching the Manitoba Moose in the AHL playoffs, but his contract does expire at the end of this season, and he has expressed a desire to coach at the NHL level before. His players (unsurprisingly) sang his praises, with Jason Krog being the most effusive:
"There's a lot of great things that he does. He's great at preparing us, he's good at adjusting and he's good at recognizing guys strengths and weaknesses. And he's a good motivator. He knows when to get on us and when to take it easy on us. All around, he's pretty solid and he's finally getting the recognition that he deserves."
As good as some of the available ex-NHL coaches are (aside from the three mentioned above, Jacques Lemaire and Tom Renney come to mind), I think that Dan Barnes' take on the profile of the successful candidate is probably accurate: a young coach who favours an up-tempo style and can coach special teams, who will have experience in the NHL and as a head coach, but quite probably not as an NHL head coach.
FROM TSN's BOB MacKENZIE VIA TEAM 1260's MORE ON SPORTS: Here's 2 names to throw in the hat for the Oilers head coaching job that haven't been mentioned a lot:
RYAN McGILL Local product has worked his way up through the coaching ranks since his playing career ended. After serving as an assistant coach with the Edmonton Ice for a season and a half, McGill spent the next 4 1/2 seasons as the head coach with the Ice organization after moving to Kootenay. McGill's assistant there was Cory Clouston who is now coaching in Ottawa. Many thought McGill would get a shot before Clouston, so his time may be coming sooner than later. McGill also served as the head coach for the Rangers affiliate in Hartford for 3 seasons and is currently in his 3rd season as head coach with the Flames affiliate. Probably a long shot, but a name to keep an eye on nontheless.
BRENT PETERSEN I brought up Petersen's name yesterday for the Minnesota gig and this morning, MacKenzie said he may receive real consideration for the Oilers because when Tambellini was still in Vancouver and they were conducting their last head coaching search (that Alain Vigneault won), Petersen was a finalist right down to the wire. Apparently Tambellini thinks highly of him, and his name has popped up a few times over the past few years with other openings.
I also believe that Marc Habschied & Perry Pearn should recieve consideration, although I'm currently kind of riding the Scott Arniel bandwagon.
I hope it's not Crawford, He makes me sick they way he didn't know any Oilers players while working for CBC. We don't need a Bertuzzi incident here in Oil Country.

I agree that Crawford is the last one that I'd want here. Think that squeaky voiced sonic the hedgehog look alike will be able to deal with the kids? Come on...
April 17 2009, 11:07AM
Jon: I mentioned this in the comments section of DeepThoughts VIIII and I'll repeat it here. Don't overlook Boston assistant Geoff Ward. He has history with the Oilers and is very highly thought of in the organization.
As this unfolds I'd be surprised if he isn't on the short list with Todd Richards.
As I mentioned at Lowetide, this line from Barnes' column:
"I think he will be youngish, from outside the Oilers' organization, he will favour aggressiveness and offence over defence...."
Made me think of Kevin Dineen A guy who's scoring peaked at 40 goals in a season, and had over 2200 minutes in penalties in his career.
One good thing about Lever or Dineen is that we wouldn't have to listen to, or read, the line about the defensive specialist who can't coach offensive talent anymore.

What? You mean 83's name isnt Alex?
@ Robin Brownlee: I'm calling Geoff Ward right now Robin. EVERYONE continues to forget such an obvious consideration EXCEPT YOU! You worked closely with him the year of the lockout, did you not? Any insight on him? Would you say your pulling for him/do you think he's a good fit?
April 17 2009, 11:13AM
@ Robin Brownlee:
Sorry Robin, I always forget that you are a print media guy ;)
I'm leery of Geoff Ward because of his W-L record at the professional level, but that doesn't begin to tell the whole story and he did have that run to the AHL Finals with Hamilton.
Still, I'm sure you've got a much better feel for this than I do so I'll keep him in mind.
April 17 2009, 11:14AM
@ RossCreek:
The only reason I keep excluding Brent Petersen is because of his health issues; I don't know that an NHL team will want to roll the dice on those. Otherwise, I think he'd already be a head coach somewhere.

Apparently, that's up to debate.
April 17 2009, 11:20AM
If it's Crawford, I'm going to strangle a baby.
@ Robin Brownlee: Hey Robin, Stauffer confirmed the rumour on Tencers show last night. Good Work!!!!!
@ Jonathan Willis: You may be right, but I found the tidbit Bobby Mac gave about Petersen being a finalist for the Canucks job while Tambellini interesting. My feeling is that the new coach will either: a) have ties to Tambellini in some regard and/or b) have connections to the Oilers organization and/or c) have ties to the Edmonton/Alberta area
As far as "experienced" coaches, Pat Quinn is most likely (IMO), likely with an up-and-coming young coach serving under him. If thats the case, it would likely eliminate a lot (or all) current assistant coaches being speculated about though, as it would be a sideways move most organizations likely wouldn't allow. Scott Arniel, Marc Habschied, Willie Desjardins & Ryan McGill might be more likely in that case as Quinn's associate. Also, should we expect Rick Ley as an assistant if Quinn were to get the job?
Operating on the premise that most names of interest get leaked before the interviewing process begins, I can't see Lever being a guy who's name should be in the mix.
I know Gainey brought him up to the big club to do a bit of scouting for them down the stretch but considering he hasn't been mentioned by Edm MSM types or by bloggers like Brownlee:D, I don't think he's a candidate right now.
I'd like to see him thrown in the mix because there's been lots of good things said about the guy and he was a big fan of Pouliot during his rookie pro season in '06 at Ham.
April 17 2009, 11:28AM
@ Sandra: What rumour? I start so many I lose track . . .
I think that another coach who is a possibility, albeit somewhat remote, is current Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff. While his candidacy is not being discussed for obvious reasons, I think that rumblings out of Buffalo are that his termination is being considered right now as a result of Buffalo's inconsistency the last two seasons.
For what it's worth I think it would be a poor decision on Buffalo's part. It's not Ruff's fault that the team saddled itself to the inconsistent, injury prone career of starting goalie Miller.
IS there any chance of getting Dale Hunter out of London? I think he would be an excellent fit with the group of guys we have hear and would definitely know how the style that Tambo is talking about.
If you (as the Edmonton Oilers SPECIFICALLY) could pick ANY coach currently employed by a playoff team, regardless of how "possible" or "likely" it was, who would it be? Let's exclude Brent Sutter's name from that list too, as his name has already come up enough. Mike Babcock? Claude Julien? Randy Carlyle? Joel Quenneville?
I'd take Ken Hitchcock (and I think there is a good chance that the Oil would too).
Lets see what "the internet" has to say about that. (Anyone else notice CBC's been checking what "the internet" has to say lately (with Jeff Marek & Scott morrisson)? Is that a schtick, a catchphrase, or do they just sound plain silly? Kinda make it sound like this internet thing might stick around for a while.)

Lindy Ruff is precisely one of those guys I was getting at with the "c) have ties to the Edmonton/Alberta area" quote above. Would be a good candidate IF he were to become available.

Another decent candidate, but I haven't heard his name come up much in the infamous "MSM".

It would be worth it just so that when he cut Rob Schremp in training camp, people could say "Well, he even benched Schremp in the OHL! He's biased!"

@ RossCreek:
It probably doesn't surprise anybody here, but I'm a big fan of what CBC has been doing. Of course, Ron MacLean's been referencing blogs for a while (I'd guess because he immerses himself as fully as possible in the game) but I haven't seen any network take advantage of the blogs the way CBC has (Sportsnet and Versus have both flirted with Eklund, but that's stupidity, not exploitation).
@ Jonathan Willis: It just seems a little funny to me. They come off as "awkward", and I've heard Marek say "at least thats what the internet is saying" on more than a few occasions. I don't know if they're actually using that catchphrase or if he just says it a lot Rwha. Maybe its Jeff Marek that seems awkward, I dunno. Its not bad, just found it a bit humourous. I'm more in to TSN's coverage personally.

Pouliot is nothing but a distant memory at this point IMO.

Say what you will about Crawford's broadcast skills one thing I do know is he coached the Canucks here to great results. If they had a goaltender at the time who could stop a puck they may have won a Stanley Cup under him. Saying that though he plays his favorites much like MacT did and the said goaltender was one of Crawfords favorites..

Roli has to go, We need to move forward, Like I said before, we don't need a Bertuzzi incident here. He had great players in LA, and no results.
@ Sandra: He called roli as rolofson...
Off topic here, But can we get the top right of this page fixed? I really dont want to stare at a 4-1 loss to Calgary all summer. Losing to Calgary makes me a sad panda. Maybe put the previous nights playoff games up there instead?
I say if Brent Sutter is not avail. Perhaps one of the younger coaches with fresh and new ideas who are assistants to teams currently in the playoffs ex. GARY AGNEW, Assistant Coach of Columbus or Brad Shaw of St Louis or Doug Houda of Boston Bruins… These guys have great coaching successes in the AHL and with their current teams
Marc Crawford will be on Dan Tencer's show tonight. Take that for what it's worth I guess. I couldn't help but notice the other night when Tencer started defending Crawford against one of his callers, in a way eerily similar to how he's defended MacT the past 2 seasons.
God I hate the Crow, but you sure cannot argue with his results. And Bertuzzi, well, maybe Moore should have just turned and fought like a man. I'm not saying it was right, but I wouldn't mind a coach that demands a price be paid for taking liberities with our stars (if we have any). I just won't ever listen to his post gamers, I hate that man.
I would be disappointed if they went with Quinn. He had one 1st place finish with Toronto and a couple of good teams in Vancouver. There were a lot of avearge teams otherwise.
From what I remember with the Leaves, he tended to favour the veteran players who had grit. He seemed, relatively speaking, to just get out of the way and let the players play. I am not sure how he would work with younger players in terms of teaching them to compete.
He seems like the kind of guy that would manage a veteran team like NJ or Detroit very well. I don't think he is a development guy - which is what the Oil need.
I guess on the plus side Quinn's experience would allow him to handle all the rumours started by Brownlee...
I would like to see someone like Sutter or Clousten - someone young and keen who has a reputation as a motivator but still keeps his professionalism (no call outs in the media).
@ DaveS:
Interesting point.
@ Dennis:
~I'm sure Tambellini's TOP priority is to find someone who can unleash the full potential of Pouliot~
April 17 2009, 01:49PM
Further to my Sutter guess, this from Eric Duhatschek:
"Others have connected these dots before, but there is a compelling logic to the idea that Brent Sutter could be the next Edmonton Oilers' coach. Sutter has freely stated that he will evaluate his future with the New Jersey Devils following the season and has made no secret of the fact that he misses life in Alberta, where he owns the junior team in Red Deer, and has his roots. The Oilers are the NHL team closest to Viking, his hometown, and Red Deer, where he lives in the off-season."

@ Jonathan Willis: If it's a guess, it's a good one. IF Sutter becomes available, he'll be the No. 1 candidate for the job.
@ Robin
If Sutter beomes available, and the Flames choke again, don't you think Brother Darryl will have the inside track on Baby Brent?
As per TSN, Ruff staying in Buffalo...take him off your lists
I'll take an answer from anybody (or everybody) on this one. What are the chances we could pull Ron Francis away from Carolina? Isn't he currently an asst. there? I think he would rock as a head coach. Any thoughts? Major league offensive talent, major league work ethic, simply a major league dude...don't ya think?

Seconded. 2 years in front office and one year as an associate coach isn't nearly good enough.
Why all the vitriol toward Crawford? And what good players did he have in LA that would have formed a threat to any playoff calibre team?
Does anyone know for certain if Sutter has an out in his contract? If he does, Lamoriello surely wouldn't mind him coming to an out of conference team like Edmonton.
April 17 2009, 05:05PM
I wonder if Crawford will still be looking for a dinner date with the low-life media when he no longer is one of them?
