Join the Woodmark Hotel in Supporting KITH this Holiday Season
In an effort to support KITH, a local organization that provides housing for individuals and families threatened by homelessness in the greater Kirkland region, the Woodmark has introduced a package that donates a portion of its proceeds. The meaning of kith, somebody's friends and acquaintances, reminds us that in order to solve the community problem of homelessness, we must work together to help those in need.
KITH's Mission:
Guided by faith we unite individuals and families to confront homelessness and build safe and healthy communities.
The Woodmark Hotel has introduced a package that provides a stress-free shopping experience. A portion of proceeds will benefit KITH.
Shop Away This Holiday Package Features:
- Luxury accommodations
- Transportation to shopping hot spots in either Bellevue, Redmond, or Kirkland
- Complimentary gift wrapping
- $50 Gift Certificate to Northwest Face Spa
- $30 Credit to Beach Café
- Woodmark canvas shopping tote by Hable Construction
- Complimentary valet parking
Valid through January 10th, 2013. See all details here. Please call reservations at 800-822-3700 to book your package with us.
KITH has developed several innovative programs that aim to solve homelessness in the greater Kirkland region. They provide temporary and longer-term housing for individuals and families threatened by homelessness, and guide 80-95% of families in the Transitional Housing Program into maintaining a successful and permanent housing situation.
- Transitional Housing Program: With services over a 24-month period, KITH helps move homeless families into a clean and safe apartment. With the goal of preparing families to maintain permanent housing, KITH helps families furnish their apartment, work on education, employment, financial skills and other goals.
- Permanent Supportive Housing: To prevent homelessness, KITH uses its services and 12 housing units in Kirkland as a safety net for vulnerable families who were once homeless and may still be at risk of homelessness.
- Welcome Home Program: A family rent subsidy program that expands housing opportunities outside the limitations of KITH-owned units. With the assistance of case management services, homeless families are stabilized and empowered to assume full rent at the end of a 1 year program.
Do you want to lend additional support to KITH over the holidays? Volunteer groups from the community bring, prepare and serve free meals to families and individuals in need. The KITH Community Supper is at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Kirkland. KITH's Holiday Adopt-a-Family program is an excellent way to provide assistance with creating special holidays for homeless individuals and their children. As a sponsor, you can donate gifts and a holiday meal for your adopted family.

Did you ever have a wild spring break?
I wish. But plenty other wild times though.ReplyCancel
When I was a teenager, people went with their families. My parents weren't vacationers. They both grew up during the depression. (I was born when they were 45 and 55.ReplyCancel
absolutely!! still can't tell all but definitely No Regrets… gooood times…ReplyCancel
No. But if I ever go back to Bike Week in Daytona, instead of going Weds-Sun, I'm going Fri-Tues, so I can catch the beginning of Spring Break week.
When I was waiting around Sunday for cab to airport, there were tons of "too young for bars" bimbos running around the hotel. They hang out at the pool for events, and constantly are up and down from their rooms, pouring drinks.
Them kids have it good too. With all the bikers leaving Sat and Sun, they halls of the hotel are littered with 1/2 cases and 30pks of beer. Saturday my buddies and I collected a bunch, then we gave some room full of tools about 4 cases of beers Sunday morning before we checked out.ReplyCancel
All apologies Candyland but for some reason I thought you were a guy.
Makes your story even more comical 🙂ReplyCancel
No, but I've watched "Where The Boys Are" many times.ReplyCancel
No :-(. Everybody knew each other, and each other's parents. For sure I would run into someone who knew my family at SPI.ReplyCancel
I had a pretty crazy spring break in New Orleans a few years back. Got really drunk, groped male gogo dancers, visited a strip club at 3pm, bought coke from random men on the street, smoked blunts in a bathtub, took pictures laying face down in an alley, danced on bars, drank waaay too much and rode mechanical bulls. It was fun, but I've had crazier times at parties during the summer or semester.ReplyCancel
Not on Spring Break but definitely other times. Got kicked out of a strip club for trying to dance with the strippers after blacking out on Long Island iced teas. LOL gawd my twenties are pretty much a blur!!ReplyCancel
Nope. Just did not appeal…ReplyCancel
Oh. Yes. A few of them. Sometimes I miss those days.ReplyCancel
Toooo many! I'm surprised I wasn't killed by the strangers we'd meet. We were just big teases tho no sex, just making out with randoms from 14-20. Scary, huh? I grew up in a small town, and everyone started drinking at age 16. No drugs tho for me….ReplyCancel

The Indiana Governor's Residence was acquired by the state in 1973 to serve as the sixth official governor's residence. Renovations before it opened for official use cost more than $800,000 and included the installation of air conditioning, a parking lot, and a new vestibule entrance. However, the original Residence had not been significantly renovated since that time.
Governor Mitch Daniels and First Lady Cheri Daniels wanted a structurally sound home where all Hoosiers would feel comfortable and therefore began major renovations in 2005. The renovations included restoring the port-cochere, removing layers of paint from original woodwork, painting outside trim, repairing the masonry, installing new kitchens and bathrooms, and replacing, thereby bringing up to code, plumbing, electrical, heat ventilation, and air conditioning. Construction companies, designers and laborers from around the state worked together to complete the renovations to "the People's House" at no cost to taxpayers.

The Mythological God Test
Considered the omnipotent God of law, justice, and strength, he was also thought of as the God of thunder, lightening, mountain tops, the Heavens, abundance, health, and many other auspicious qualities. Sacred to him was the oak tree, for it reflected his steadfast power and might.
As everyone knows, Zeus was something of a philanderer. Always cheating on his ever suspicious wife, Hera, Zeus and his many lovers were responsible for several Gods, demigods, heroes, and villains, Herakles (better known as Hercules) being the most famous result of one of his flings.
The Fifteen Gods
These are the 15 categories of this test. If you score above average in
all or none of the four variables: Dagda. Erudite: Thoth. Sensual: Frey. Martial: Mars. Saturnine: Mictlantecuhtli. Erudite & Sensual: Amun. Erudite & Martial: Odin. Erudite & Saturnine: Anubis. Sensual & Martial: Zeus. Sensual & Saturnine: Cernunnos. Martial & Saturnine: Loki. Erudite, Sensual & Martial: Lug. Erudite, Sensual & Saturnine: Coyote. Erudite, Martial & Saturnine: Hades. Sensual, Martial & Saturnine: Pan.

apparently kishi had an interview where he said who tobi is. enjoy and discuss.
apparently kishi had an interview where he said who tobi is. enjoy and discuss.
current reading: Naruto:shipuuden, Bleach, Fairytails, Historys strongest diciple kenichi,
berzerk, deadman wonderland, claymore, hunter x hunter, gantz, blue exorcist, one piece, zetman, witch hunter, liar game, and vagabond ..... I need more!
Great Irony. While some of us were doing great detective work, One Major Idiot was running around Throwing Bombs at Everyone all for the sake of what....
If the interview is true then it makes sense and falls in line with all our deducing and logical analyses. Unfortunately, If Duck Brain hadn't been banned, had he remained here, I believe that he would still be spewing his Vile Venom remorselessly and shamelessly, in spite of overwhelming evidence that his theory is wrong.
Anyway Here's my deal:
I accept this revelation as probably the truth because it affirms what logic and Manga detective work has already pointed to. I am however a very cautios person, and will retai a 1% reservation until the Manga comes out.. I do hope the Interview is accurate because I had been wondering about Tobi's fate, and whether he would succeed in his plans:-
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I hope this is true...
This is good news if it's legit. I have never really understood how people thought that Obito could have fought Minato at the age he was with the body of an adult.
I'll take a first guess at this dark truth and say that Hashirama Senju probably isn't as saintly as he is made out to be, or perhaps it has more to do with his brother who was the one who supposedly created Edo Tensei and began the segregation and discrimination of the Uchiha.

Wow, if this is true, then this is deep! No this is bottomless pit deep with no end! Am I the only one that feels like the C.M.A. (Central Manga Agency) are going to come busting down my door and take my PC for reading this. Dont worry tsubasa, paulbee, Wheres Fluffy, and execution I wont give any names. LOL
Back on topic, this would explain alot about Tobi, I honestly can see this happening. I bet house money that snake (ORO) knew, thats probably how Kabuto knew his identity and went looking for the real Madara.
the only problem I have is it seems to conflict with another interview where kishi said he wanted to bring naruto to a close. it doesnt fit with someone who says that to expand the story even more so then needed. tho then again this gives a chance to freshen the series up, as I've heard talking about how climatic things have gotten and that it is or soon to be on the down side of a stories process.
current reading: Naruto:shipuuden, Bleach, Fairytails, Historys strongest diciple kenichi,
berzerk, deadman wonderland, claymore, hunter x hunter, gantz, blue exorcist, one piece, zetman, witch hunter, liar game, and vagabond ..... I need more!
From this interview though, I can see that Kishi says that a Hokage played a part in it. I'm betting on the 2nd hokage. Mainly because not much has been said about him as of yet, but also because he was the first user of the Edo recarn technique, and for Madara to know it could be part of his doing.
Yeah Kishi revealed to 2 english speaking fans a secret he and his companies have closely guarded for 400 chapters.... so close to when it will be revealed (2 chaps max, the only reason I don't think it is next chapter is that chapter 600 just seems more fitting for such a huge reveal)
I call bullshit, all the fake interview does is use what half the people have guessed anyway and add some vague *facts* that don't actually tell us anything and are vague enough that people can make their own theories to fill in the gaps. The line about the theory being blocked until september is just a way to make people not question it, a spoiler like that would appear noooo where closer then a ten foot pole to an official site affiliated with Naruto for obvious legal reasons.
Kishi hasn't done a spoiler like this for 598 chapter.. chances of it happening now 0%
So this is it huh ? I was really swaying away thinking it could be Obito but it was Izuna afterall, good ! paulbee dont worry, Izunas plans and history will be revealed in no time. Plus, according to the interview Tobi and Madara had different ideas for the moons eye plan and it also seems like the two are not "on the same page" anymore. It looks like even the Senju are hiding away some skeletons in theyre closets that Izuna knows about very well. Cant wait to know all the details ..
Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Claymore, Ao No Exorcist, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Gamaran, Toriko, Vinland Saga, Gantz, Wolf Guy, Deadman Wonderland, Vagabond, Blade of The Immortal, Battle Royale, Zettman
For a Kishi, those were EXTREMELY detailed answers, most of the time he is like: "It's Kakahsi's year, his color is dark blue..." right... and here we have such a long sentences raveling this much info ?
Funny enough, all the questions that would have been hard to answer by fans, weren't answered...
Anyway, I wouldn't mind if this were true, I'm more interested in reaction of people in Narutoverse and the fans (I can already hear their moaning, roaring and whining ;D).

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Laurier professor will help train next generation of Haitian scientists and innovators
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 15/14
Thélus Wilson has a passion for the marginalized people of society. A former school principal in northern Haiti, he left his stable job with a good income to start a school in his community for underprivileged children. It has been an incredible sacrifice he has a disabled son, and he mortgaged his house to get the school established. Wilson is also a PhD student and just completed his first year at the Institut des sciences, des technologies et des études avancées dHaïti (ISTEAH).
He is building capacity in Haiti from the inside, first as a school principal and now as an emerging academic. He will be a person of influence in his area, said Steve Sider, an assistant professor in Lauriers Faculty of Education and an adjunct faculty member with ISTEAH, who will supervise Wilson in his dissertation research. He will contribute to the development of others, which is at the heart of what ISTEAH is all about.
Established last year, the non-profit institute hopes to educate and train 1,000 Haitian scientists and innovators in the next 10 years to support the countrys development. Since the fall, 61 students on three campuses in Haiti have been taking classes toward a doctorate, masters degree or advanced graduate diploma in education, the first program offered at ISTEAH. While the student body is Haitian, the professors are from mostly Canadian universities. Some teach using videoconferencing, while others travel to Haiti to teach in-person for a few weeks at a time.
There is limited capacity in Haiti from a higher-education perspective, said Sider. Because there is no funding for research, students go outside the country to study. This program allows them to study in Haiti, do research in Haiti and then build the capacity for educational leadership and development from within the country. Its a beautiful model.
Sider has a long history with Haiti. He first travelled to the country 10 years ago and started providing workshops to education leaders in different regions of the country. In 2011 he started the Digital Mentoring Program, which provides donated smartphones to principals in Haiti, and also connects education leaders in Haiti with principals in Canada for support and collaboration. The project started with five donated BlackBerry smartphones. Today, more than 150 Blackberry smartphones for administrators and 20 tablets for students have been donated.
Sider will travel to northern Haiti next month as part of a Laurier service-learning trip, which will also include Laurier teacher candidates and faculty, local school administrators, a director at Blackberry and staff from the Ontario Ministry of Education. For 12 days Laurier students will be involved in ESL programming at local schools, while the other participants will provide leadership and teaching workshops for administrators. Sider will also conduct research for the Digital Mentoring Project, studying how local educational administrators are using the mobile devices.
Wilson helped facilitate Lauriers service-learning trip to Haiti last fall, accompanying the group to schools in the northern part of the country. This time, the Laurier group will visit Wilsons new school in Cap-Haitien and deliver donated laptops from the universitys Faculty of Education. The used computers will help establish a student computer lab.
When we saw Thélus last spring and heard about his plans for this school, we all fell in love with his vision, said Sider. His own life is not easy, but he has a passion for marginalized people and is doing things that those of us who have much easier lives cant even comprehend. Its very gratifying to not only contribute to his educational development, but to see him going on to contribute to the development of others.

Orangeville Utah - George Terry Bell, 85, passed away at home surrounded by his family on July 30, 2013. He was born May 29, 1928 in Orangeville, Utah. He was the son of Harold and Fay Stilson Bell. He married Ann Snow Bell on November 23, 1949, in the Manti LDS Temple. He served in the Navy during World War II. He grew up in Orangeville, built their home and has lived there for the past 65 years.
He worked as a coal miner most of his life and became the mine manager. He enjoyed the work and the people he worked with. He believed in hard work and was a very hard worker himself. Fishing was his passion. He also liked camping, hunting, and spending time with his family. He loved to do carpentry and made some very beautiful things, such as toy trucks, rocking horses, cradles, beds and many other crafts for Ann to paint.
He served in many capacities in the LDS church and had a strong testimony of the gospel. He and his wife served an LDS mission in Ketchikan, Alaska from 1993-1994. They also worked many years in the Manti Temple as ordinance workers.
He was a great example of love, faith and compassion to all his family members. His greatest blessings were his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was great for a laugh. He joked with everyone he knew, and everyone loved that about him. He loved to watch Westerns. One of his greatest loves was ice cream and candy.
The family would like to express their special thanks to Symbii Hospice Care, Heidi Tuttle Cubel, and Heather Sundstrom, for their wonderful love and support. Also thanks to Jack Butler for his time in helping take care of George and all others who helped with nursing care.
He is survived by his children: Randy and LeAnn (Orangeville), Rue and Charlene (Orangeville), Michelle and Steve Scovill (Castle Dale), Marvin and Ardyth (Cleveland), Terry and Amy (Orangeville), Jan and Chris Olsen (Orangeville). Brothers: Tom (Margaret) and Claud (Janet) Bell. He is preceded in death by his wife, Ann, his parents, Harold and Fay, brother, Kenneth, sister, Bonnie Rasmussen, son Phillip, two grandsons Chad and Wayne, and a great grandson Trent Butler. A viewing was held Friday, August 2, 2013 from 6-8 p.m. at Orangeville LDS Church. Funeral services were held Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013 at 11 a.m. with a viewing prior from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Orangeville LDS Chapel. Interment at the Orangeville City Cemetery. Services are in the care of Heritage Funeral Home. Friends and family may sign the guest book at heritagefuneralhomeutah.com.

Pension fund facing a shortfall? How about loading it up with shares of the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust?
I'm being facetious, but the Winklevi are not. At a time when pension funds are just starting to warm to the idea of bond-exchange-traded funds — to say nothing of the more exotic stuff — Tyler Winklevoss cites pensions when Financial News' Harriet Agnew asks who's the target audience:
Financial News: Who is your target market? Who will buy this type of exchange-traded fund and why?
Tyler Winklevoss: Anyone who can't get exposure to Bitcoin — such as pension funds —- or anyone who doesn't want to go through the hassle of buying or physically storing it, such as mainstream retail investors.
In the process of this explanation Winklevoss made a comparison to exchange-traded gold trackers, many of which are demonstrating the dangers of niche assets that attract bandwagoning investors. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is down 26% year to date.
The best metaphor is to compare it to gold. How many people actually directly buy and hold gold bars? The gold ETCs [exchange-traded commodities] made it possible for investors to do that indirectly.
Here's part of what my colleague Randy Forsyth said on the subject over the weekend:
The viability of a monetary unit depends on a couple of attributes—its acceptability as a medium of exchange and its stability as a store of value. … If Bitcoins had a stable value, why would anybody want to trade a derivative based on them? Just asking.

Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I have to say I am majorly disappointed by this. I have been waiting for a flashback of what truly happened the night of the massacre for a long time and this to me was completely insufficient. Kishimoto spent so long on other flashbacks that were fairly minor, I always hoped he would do this one more justice. We really weren't shown anything that couldn't have been inferred by previous chapters, there was almost no new information and the whole thing seemed very simplistic and toned down. I wanted to see something to compare with the brilliant flashback of Sasuke's that took place during the fight at the Valley of the End. This flashback only really served to confirm things that we had already been told, it didn't shed any light on the details of the event or the specifics of Itachi's arrangement with Madara. The explanation for how Itachi discovered Madara was very vague and Itachi's whole shown in about as boring a way as it possibly could have been. I wanted to see a flashback that really fleshed the events out and showed the depth of the situation. To me this chapter wasn't satisfying at all.
Also, I wonder if masked man lost his other eye using izanagi/izanami powers manipulating uchiha from earlier generation or itachi's dad specifically. Itachi, shisiui,obito examples of good guys so i wonder where the others were if not outright manipulation. No wonder the in fighting lead to techniques, powerful techniques, to be used on their own clanmates (izanami).
So will Sasuke continue with his mission with revenge.....What am I saying of course he will.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Now that Sasuke knows the whole story, he can flashback, to a flashback whenever the time calls for it, which will be at the climax of his next battle.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Love ... Cheesy but nice chap!
Cheesy yet splendid chapter.
Now I can rest having to not see Itachi in a long while.
If you do a flashback atleast do a good one, like showing how godly Madara/Hashirama's battle was.
Speaking of which, I wonder if Madara will revive himself (e.g Rinne tensei) in time..we're running out of villains in narutoverse.

"We ordered this card to announce the adoption of our youngest son, and when the cards came, I was stunned at the quality. I am a professional photographer, and admittedly picky about details. The card was perfect. I was so glad that I could find a card with a beautiful design, that still let me personalize it the way I wanted. I ordered the cards just before Thanksgiving, and expected them to take awhile to print/ship, and I was so happy when they showed up the day after Thanksgiving. AMAZING SERVICE AND QUALITY! I will use tinyprints again!"
"I loved this card. It was perfect! We got so many compliments on this. Tiny Prints was great. I got the cards so quickly. I was very happy with my purchase."
"This card turned out beautiful! Our family has expressed so many compliments after receiving them in the mail! I would highly recommend this design - we have a boy and the colors are perfect!"
"The options on this were wonderful. It tells you if a picture will print well or low quality. I liked the fact that we could choose our own text."
"I personalized this with our own information and our son's photo, and was pleasantly surprised when a Tiny Prints designer called to let me know there might be a problem with the photo I'd chosen, and advised me to use another. As soon as I got the photo to her, my order went to the printer's, and came to me shortly after. We were thrilled with the quality of the paper and the printing, and have received many compliments on the announcements."

The agreement signed by Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and MGM Resorts this week is now before the city council. If it passes, it could go to voters in a city-wide referendum in mid-July. But anti-casino advocates are pushing back, saying that's not enough time for voters to make an informed decision.
Michael Kogut is a Springfield-based attorney and chair of Citizens Against Casino Gambling. He says his group has asked the city council to hold the referendum with municipal elections in November, to boost turnout and give voters more time.
"No amount of money is going to combat what MGM will spend to paint the pretty picture that they will of what they consider to be the positives of a gaming casino in urban Springfield without sharing with the voters what the negatives are," Kogut says. "So the voters are going to need time to hear those from groups like ours."
A referendum would take place at least sixty days after the council's approval. Springfield officials have asked the council to approve the agreement before May 15th, in hopes of holding a July 16th vote. The city's chief development officer Kevin Kennedy says that's enough time for voters to make up their minds.
"People have had plenty of time to formulate an opinion on this to this point, and they'll have another sixty days to vet it, so the question is, how long do you want this issue to drag on?"
Kennedy says he thinks a July ballot will have a strong turnout. MGM officials have cited the state gaming commission's looming deadline as a reason to hold a summer vote. But according to the commission, that date won't be until December. Kennedy says the city council is set to take up the MGM agreement on Monday.

Prospect Profile: #7 Frank Corrado
Thomas Drance
August 23 2012 12:48PM
When he first arrived at the Penticton Young Stars tournament in September of 2011, no one knew anything about 5th round draft pick Frankie "don't call me Frank" Corrado. That changed rapidly as the Woodbridge born two-way defenseman put in a series of impressive performances at the Prospects Tournament. The rave reviews Corrado earned crescendoed with an absurdly competent showing in a pre-season game against the opening day roster of the Edmonton Oilers, in which Corrado was second on the club in ice-time and helped "shutdown" the likes of Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle.
Shortly after that impressive outing in the pre-season, Corrado was sent back to the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL but not before the Canucks inked him to an entry-level deal. Back in Sudbury, Corrado was named an "assistant captain" and put in a quietly remarkable season, transforming himself into one of the single most dominant defensive players in the Ontario Hockey League.
Canucks fans, and those in the "industry" may not have known much about Frank Corrado in September of 2011, but they know about him now. And many expect big things from the feisty, quick-footed defenseman.
One of those people who expect big things from Corrado, is Canucks Assistant General Manager Laurence Gilman, who just this week singled out Corrado as one of the organization's "sleeper prospects" to keep an eye on. Here's what Gilman told Matt Sekeres on the Team1040 on Tuesday:
"Frank Corrado is the first guy that comes to my mind [as a sleeper prospect], and you're always hesitant making these kinds of statements because you don't want ot put to much pressure on the player. [Corrado is] quite a dynamic player and we think his ascension is far more advanced than it should be for a player picked in the fifth round, and there are those in our organization that think this guy will challenge to make the National Hockey League a lot sooner than most people think he will"
That is high praise, but it's well deserved. With the Sudbury Wolves last season, Frank Corrado logged major minutes against the toughest opponents, and often came out ahead. We watched Corrado closely last season, and were very impressed with what he was able to contribute to a middling Sudbury team.
Obviously we hate to use +/- as an indicator of anything, but Corrado was a +26 for a Sudbury club that carried a +2 goal differential (GD) on the season. Looking over the top +/- players in the OHL last season, you get a steady list of guys who played for the London Knights (+99 GD), Ottawa 67's (+52 GD), Niagara Ice-Dogs (+122 GD) and the Plymouth Whalers (+74 GD), and then out of nowhere you have future star Brandon Saad (Saginaw had an even GD, Saad was a +35), and Frank Corrado.
Having watched Corrado play ten or so of games last year, it looked to me like he has all the makings of an ice-tilting, two-way defenseman, exactly the type of blueliner that the Canucks and Alain Vigneault seem to be enamored by. I recently spoke with Brandon Sudeyko of intheoradio.com, and asked him whether he thought Corrado's +/- numbers reflected Corrado's possession ability, or were a product of luck or Sudbury's system. Generally speaking, Brandon agreed with me, that Corrado probably wasn't just sporting an OHL PDO of 110:
"Even though Corrado wasn't productive offensively, he was used in every situation. And the way the turnover was with Sudbury's D, he was paired with a bunch of different defenseman and was often double shifted.
His outlet pass would often help Sudbury turn the puck around and create pressure down-low, and his quick footwork and speed allows him to cut off the angle [in the offensive end] to keep the puck in. He might be the fourth guy to touch the puck, but he'd help Sudbury maintain possession and would get the "plus" that way."
That's what I like to hear!
I also exchanged e-mails with Brock Otten of OHL Prospects, who offered this scouting report on Frank Corrado's development and abilities:
"Corrado has developed into a terrific two-way defenseman. His biggest asset is his skating ability and general mobility. He uses it to skate the puck out of pressure situations in his own end, and he uses it to his advantage defensively. His defensive game improved massively this year, to the point where I'd call him one of the better defensive players in the league. He's not incredibly large, but he's aggressive and does not back down from anyone. He'll lay you out on the way to the net, punish you in the corners, and throw a couple of cross checks to your back in front of the net. The only disappointing aspect of his game has been the relative lack of development in his offensive game. He has the puck carrying ability to create offensively, but he still seems a bit tentative to let loose. It seemed like this year he was really focusing on the defensive end. He definitely has offensive potential though."
While we don't have access to OHL Quality of Competition numbers, in the games I watched last season, Corrado was attached at the hip to the likes of Sam Carrick, Brandon Saad and Tyler Toffoli (i.e. the opposition's top offensive players). Also, I observed that Corrado was nearly always the first man back for Sudbury - almost operating like a free-safety - and I'd wager that his offensive regression this past season is more reflective of a seachange in his usage, rather than a meaningful sign that his offensive skill-set is limited. For what it's worth, Brandon Sudeyko agrees with me:
"Corrado's shot isn't exactly there. He has a nice wrist shot but he doesn't have much of a clapper, which, you'd love to see from an upcoming stud defenseman. His offense is coming along though, which is good but his main focus is his defense, which has improved a lot. His vision and IQ has grown a lot, and he was utilizing the outlet pass a lot more this past season. Whatever the reason, he's started doing it and now he's comfortably throwing the puck up ice 100 feet, tape-to-tape, which is something we didn't see in the past.
His offensive regression was there statistically [last season], but that's not a reflection of his skill level when you watch him play."
While I don't necessarily think Corrado takes anything off the table offensively, there's no denying that he doesn't project as a power-play quarterback type at the NHL level. He's a solid puck-mover, however, and he does have the potential to be an above average top-four defenseman. For Mike Gillis and the Canucks to have found a prospect like that in the fifth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft is, to put it mildly, very impressive.
Other Prospect Profiles in this Series:
Also: He's right handed.
When you have no one after Chris Tanev, this is kind of important.
Can he play on the left though? I think he might make a terrific shutdown pairing with Tanev in the future.

The Tour Evolution 6000 Goalie Leg Pads provide affordable lightweight protection for goalies playing recreational hockey.
Tour's high quality durable materials help protect the goalie as well as help with the overall wear and tear. Synthetic leather is used on the face of the pads, and is used to cover the upper and lower seams. Nylon fabric is used throughout the remainder of the pads providing good breathability qualities.
The Tour 6000 leg pads are designed to have similar protection as some of the higher end pads. These pads are extremely lightweight and offer great protection for goalies playing at the recreational levels of play. Lightweight EVA foam is used throughout giving the goalie sufficient protection and allows the pad to keep a square profile after breaking in. Keeping the pads as light as possible allows the goalie to move with excellent agility while helping with reducing fatigue. The custom deep well fit leg channels comfortably protect your legs while keeping the leg pad in place. Tour's improved the pro contour by making by making the profile thin and flat, allowing for more rebound control. Tour is using what they call Flex Knee Control, giving the pads more flex at the knee, also helping with the mobility. Holding the pads in place are four nylon adjustable straps fitted with quick release plastic buckles. Two leather straps at the bottom of the pad lock in the heal and boot, keeping the lower portion of the pad from lifting and rotating.
The Tour Evolution 6000 leg pads are a good choice for anyone wanting a pad that offers some added protection when playing recreational ball, roller hockey.

Comments: Similar to Matt from Terrace, BC I have had the straps tear away at the stitching on first use. This has happened twice now as the store I bought them at swapped the first pair out for a new pair no questions asked, and the second pair just did the same thing to me tonight on first use, so I'll be taking those back in the morning. First pair three straps came out at the seam, and a fourth had the prongs on the clip come right off. This was before the first period ended. The second pair I took to a rat session tonight to break in and one strap tore from the seam as soon as I put them on and skated from the locker room, and another popped out before the end of the night. So my experience here is saying this is not an anomaly like Matt suggests or I just have terrible luck (distinct possibility).
From: Ian, Chicago, IL
Comments: Comments:Used these 7 times at a drop in ball hockey I run in a local gym. First use a strap tore away at the stitching. Since then I have had to re-sew 3 straps and now have to replace a clasp that has broken. Clasps were constantly letting go and I continually had to stop play to do them back up. I would love to get in touch with the manufacturer about this as judging by the reviews it is an anomaly.
From: Matt, Terrace, BC, Canada
Comments: I bought these mostly due to the $160 price and being a first time goalie at 49, needed something to start learning the position and purchase other gear that can run up your costs. I agree with others comments - very light, easy to use, but the knee pads are kinda thin. They have almost tore off completely after almost 2 years of moderate use, mostly on sportcourt tiles but occasionally smooth concrete garage sessions with my son. Bauer knee pads saved my knees and no issues hitting the floor. I dont use the thigh pad and actually have it reverse strapped to pad front and it never moves or anything. I haven't had any issues with the nylon straps or plastic buckles not working and can pull them pretty snug. I did have to self-cut and shorten one leather strap/buckle around the lower calf as it seemed to have gotten stitched into the interior of the pad and couldn't slide it or undo to adjust. Sharp knife and pop rivet with small washers works every time for you McGyver type s. I would buy them again (36's)but am considering upgrading to Tour Vulture 9000 or Sherwood T90 mostly due to the much better knee pads set up. I do have the matching Tour Evo 6000 blocker and catcher (got the pair for $90)and very happy with that gear.
From: Robbie, USA
Comments: I use this set of pads in a puck roller league. They protect well, and rotate very well. They have a nice look and are super light, which is really nice because it can get quite hot while playing in the summer. They do butterfly well, but if you are going to be going down on your knees at all you will need to purchase knee pads, or your knees will pay ,i found that one out the hard way. I purchased a pair of reebok knee pads and now the problem is fine. The pads are much more durable than expected, I've been using them at least once a week, up to three times, for the past 6 months are there has been minimal wear. Rebounds can be kind of big, but for the money they are a great set of pads.
From: Michael
Comments: I have had these pads for a season of inline hockey, we use a puck in our league and they have held up very well. I usually skate between 1 and 3 times a week with them and they have shown little to no wear. The best part about these pads are they are so much lighter than my ice pads. The pads butterfly very well, and the extra inch wide covers a lot of net. The 36s are also about the same size as a 38, so thats even more net covered. The only down fall of these pads are the lack of knee protection. This however can be solved by wearing knee pads. Since I started using knee pads, these pads have been great. I would definitely recommend them!
From: Michael, MI
Comments: Mostly great pads for intermediate ball hockey league. One of the straps broke the second game I used these pads and I'm tempted to return the pads. I may just tailor my own straps on instead, still debating. The plastic buckle straps are just awful. Would have liked to have had open toe at the bottom to. However, VERY light pads and more than adequate protection for ball/inline hockey. OTher than the straps and the closed toe, this is the perfect pad for me.
From: Dave
Comments:Concur with the other comments, they wear pretty fast around the foot on smooth concrete. Plastic buckle broke during the first warm up. Plastic buckles need an upgrade. Other than that I would buy them again. Super light great movement and a huge upgrade from the old mylecs, especially on the knees.
From: Brownie, NJ
Comments:love these pads but they do wear down fast.i play on smooth black top,they rotate great and are sick light.lightest pads i have ever worn and they butterfly perectly.
From: James, NY
Comments:Great product
From: Brian
Comments:Just bought these pads in 34" size for a roller puck league that I am in. The info on the pads say 11" wide but they measure more like a 12" wide pad, which is great for me. They are very light and protect very well against the pucks we use. Not sure how good they would work for ice hockey though... They placed two leather straps at the bottom which is great but they could have gone the distance. The top four buckles are nylon straps with plastic buckles. That's my only complaint with these pads. They look good and they seem to be reinforced at the important spots like the knee folds for example. I looked all over the place for these pads and the best price by far was at the inlinewarehouse website. I got free shipping which arrived at my house five days after purchase. Pros: Very lightweight. Cool look. Great Price. Above average quality material. Cons: Four nylon straps with plastic buckles that go from the calf to the thigh.
From: Jr, New Jersey
Comments:Just got a couple sets of these pads for some ball hockey, and at first I was a little skeptical. They looked really nice, but at first they seemed a little...iffy. Once I had them fitted properly and had both pads on and did some jumping around on the hardwood floor, I was sold. For the price point, these are probably the best pads around (that I've had the opportunity to try anyhow.) They are nice and light, very slick looking, and easy to get around in. If I was to have any complaints about them it would just be about the buckles, the bottom 2 are leather and the top 4 are nylon with plastic buckles...however, they seem very strong and the plastic buckles are much better than your typical run of the mill street hockey pads per-say. All in all, if you need some good rec pads for ball/roller hockey and your on a budget, try these things out for sure...I looked for months on end and couldn't find a deal even close to this good. Werd up! Thanks IW, these pads own! Now I just have to track down matching blocker/catchers; which seems to be a difficult task.

Lawmakers are considering extending temporary payroll tax cuts. But the policy is based on faulty Keynesian theories and misplaced confidence in the government's ability to micromanage short-run growth.
Downsizing Blog
Senate Postal Reform Bill Needs a New Title
The USPS is supposed to operate like a business by relying on the revenues from the sale of postal products to cover costs. Congress makes that harder by imposing various obligations and stifling attempts to reduce costs. Add in a weak economy, the growth in alternative forms of communication, and a predominantly unionized workforce that has secured excessive compensation and privileges and the result is a financial mess.
The 'Tea Party Budget'
The "Tea Party Debt Commission" affiliated with FreedomWorks recently released a budget plan (download here). In formulating its plan, the commission took into account fifteen budget plans introduced by various groups and policymakers, including Cato's Downsizing Government website.
We Don't Need a Balanced Budget Amendment
The Constitution already places strict limits on what the federal government can and cannot do. The problem is that those limits have become stretched over the years to the point that the federal government can do pretty much what it pleases. As a result, Americans have become accustomed to, and dependent upon, the federal government to supervise their lives from cradle to grave.
We've Had Enough Government 'Stimulation'
After three years and $4 trillion in combined deficit spending, unemployment remains stubbornly high and the economy sluggish. That people are still asking what the government can do to stimulate the economy is mind-boggling.
Debate on Government Stimulus
I am debating the need for more government spending to goose the economy and create jobs over at PolicyMic.com. I argue that we've had enough government "stimulation" (see here). My opponent argues that the federal government hasn't spent enough money (see here). Readers will decide the "winner" and can add their own two cents.
Adios Balanced Budget Amendment
The House failed to pass a particularly bad version of the Balanced Budget Amendment on Friday. Good. Kudos to the four Republicans who voted against it (see vote breakdown here).
Engineers for Big Government
The American Society of Civil Engineers does a flashy study every year called "America's Infrastructure Report Card." The wrench-turners give a grade of "D" to the mainly-government infrastructure they examine. Based on the low grade, they ask for taxpayers to cough up another $2.2 trillion so the engineers can fix the supposed mess.
Thoughts on the 'Minibus' Spending Bill
The House is scheduled to vote this evening on a fiscal 2012 "minibus" packaging of three appropriations bills (Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science and Transportation-HUD) agreed to in conference on Monday. It includes a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through December 16th, thus avoiding a government "shutdown."
Crumbling Bridges and Infrastructure Fearmongering
When I testified to the Joint Economic Committee yesterday, the subject of bridges came up again and again. Numerous people said or implied that our bridges are crumbling and falling down, and that more funding was desperately needed.

You: "Oh hey Wanye, thanks so much for writing Olympic updates like you said you would. We have really enjoyed the nine day gap with no articles ya fall down."
WG: "Thing is, last time we wrote the Canadians lost to the US. We since have come to believe that no OGDBs are good luck for the Canadian team which must come first at all times."
You: "If that's the case, why are you writing today?"
WG: "To give the Women's Team mad props and unveil a cool new feature for the site. Ok?"
You: (shamed silence)
WG: (crosses arms, smiles in smug victory)
We will begin by stating our preexisting condition: a tremendous amount of love for Canadian Women. We have devoted an inordinate amount of mental time in our life to thinking about Canadian Women, talking to Canadian Women, writing love letters to Canadian Women and adhering to the conditions of the restraining orders placed on us by Canadian Women.
So when we say that the Canadian Women last night put on World Class performance defeating the US 2-0 to win the Gold Medal we say it knowing that most people reading this article will yawn loudly, scratch their nether regions and continue reading hoping that the Oilers penalty killing is mentioned near the end of the article. The largely indifferent attitude of most people towards the Women's Team blows our mind and bears further discussion.
One of the most amazing things about the Canadian Women's Team winning Gold last night was the apparent total belief among every Man, Woman and Child in Canada that it was a foregone conclusion. We watched the end of the game from Earls Crossroads and a packed house barely even cheered until the final whistle had blown and the Gold Medals were being handed out.
We had treated ourselves to a couple of the Olympic Wobblies during the match and we sidled up to a table of guys - as depicted in an unrelated photo from the 1970s above - who were wearing various Team Canada gear and should have looked more excited than they did. We rolled up, Bud Light in hand and asked them about the results of the game.
WG: "So are you guys pumped about the Women winning Gold or what?"
Random Guy 1: "Yeah, I guess so. They are so much better than the rest of the teams though so it really wasn't a surprise"
WG: "Surprise or not, it's still good to win Gold isn't it?"
Random Guy 2: "Yeah, I guess so." (idly stirs beer with finger)
WG: "What's the matter with you idiots?! Don't you realize we have struck gold? REAL GOLD MAN! IT'S ALL OURS!!" (cackles loudly, rubs hands together greedily)
(table sits in muted silence)
If there is one thing we can't stand it's guys like the ones we talked to last night. There they are, dressed to the nines in the Maple Leaf, witnessing a gold medal being brought home to Canada and barely breaking a sweat in celebration. These are the same types of people who probably cheer for a playoff bound Oilers team but haven't watched any of the terrible tripe we are currently being served in months. These types aren't fans of anything, they are just the dead weight that fans of teams have to occasionally drag along when their respective team goes on a hot streak.
We have said it a million times and we will say it again:
Bandwagon jumpers go home.
We know these 4 goofballs will probably stand and clap loudly when the Men win on Sunday, with the closest thing to joy their stone hearts can muster. They will probably then return to their loveless marriages and dumbly pat their estranged children on the heads and say "Daddy has seen history today Children, go entertain yourselves while we fondly recall the events of the day."
Cheering for the Men's Team only doesn't make you a patriot. Ignoring all of the other sports at the Olympics doesn't make you a good Canadian either. Yes, we care mostly about the Men's Hockey too and should probably give more love to the other sports so we are drawing a line and starting anew today releasing something we had orginally saved for when the Men win the Gold medal.
Citizen Alpha and the rest of the design team here at the Nation have been hard at work building a new feature of the site - street cred. The basic idea is this: half the time when you come to the Nations there are like 3,679 comments per article. Granted 3,678 of these are comments made by the different factions of the Ogden Brother Clan, but some folk don't have the time nor the patience to read through all of the commentary, looking for the good stuff and ignoring the comments like:
If you are logged in as a Citizen of the Nation you will now see a little "+1" button next to comments. If you click on this little button the comment recieves props. If more than one person clicks on the prop, the article gains points and gets street cred with the Citizens of the Nation.
Eventually stred cred will be an aggregate total of each Citizen's props and disses on the Nation. Articles will have street cred too, so when yours truly servces up a brick of an article detailing the daily hygene habits of Tom Gilbert you can flame us to your hearts content.
In this fashion you will be able to sort articles and comments by props, discovering the commentary gold we all love such as:
Because the OilersNation is currently wound up tighter than a drum due to the poor play of the Oilers we are going to introduce only props - the ability to give love to a comment - for the time being. This will prevent Citizens making accurate observations like "gee whiz, the Oilers' powerplay sure sucks" only to get an immediate rating of -15,000 from the 61 remaining positive fans of the team.
In the offseason we will release the ability to diss a comment and will link Citizens total street cred scores to their profile page. Then we will have a little chart somewhere or other displaying the top citizens of the Nation as ranked by street cred. Then we will all know who the awesomest person is around here and can shower them with gifts of fruit as tradition requires.
In the meantime however we offer you props.
The Women's Hockey Team and all the other athletes that have been getting no love at these Olympic games despite their awesome performances. Bless each and every one of your hard working hearts. We apologize that the Men's Hockey team has a cumulative $3.4 billion dollar salary and the rest of you folks are forced to work at Rona during the year to keep the bills paid.
You deserve better from the millions of bandwagon jumping Canadians who clap thrice when you succeed and bitch loudly when you don't come in first. Each and every one of you have done Canada a great service with your efforts and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Mad props to you ladies.

He's busy in a sauna somewhere giving one of his Yankee buddies "props."

Wanye: I don't like this props thing. It's like some sort of nerd reacharound. I'm deleting it.
Is it too soon to determine the award for "comment of the year"?
Canada layin the smack down today. F YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13 golds, tied for most ever by any nation at any olympics ever...
Poor U.S. couldn't keep up
Need that hockey game now tomorrow to get number 14 and be the only nation ever to have that many in one games
Men's gold today, new record for most gold won at a winter games!!!! I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do for 10 hours a day once the games are over!!!! They have been addicting.

Not at good as my Lifestride flats
"I was disappointed with these Lifestride pumps. I bought them because I have other lifesrides that are just great, the shoe looks fierce and professional, and the block heel is always great for sturdiness and long days at the office!But I had to return them because the toe box was too small, and they pinched to the point of painful. Disappointed."

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
September 22, 2003
Baltimore, Boston, Columbus (OH), Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville/Jefferson County (KY), Nassau County (NY), New Orleans, Newark (NJ), Orange County (FL), and San Jose Metros To Benefit From Grants
Washington D.C. - Attorney General John Ashcroft and U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today awarded $66.5 million to 14 communities to develop integrated communications networks among emergency response agencies within the city's metropolitan area. The grants will cover the purchase of communications equipment, enhancements to communications infrastructure, and project management expenses.
The grants were awarded under an Interoperable Communications Technology Grant program that is jointly administered by COPS and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). This new demonstration program is intended to encourage an increase in the number of integrated communications systems used by law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical service agencies in the same metropolitan area. Each city is required to provide a 25 percent match of the federal funds, which were capped at $6 million.
"As we learned on September 11… and as Hurricane Isabel reminded the East Coast [last week]… coordinated communication among law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical agencies in times of emergencies is vital to protect our communities," said Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"Many emergency service providers still rely on communications systems that are often not compatible with those of neighboring agencies. Today's grants are intended to change that," said Carl R. Peed, COPS Director.
COPS provides law enforcement agencies with an array of community policing training and technical assistance resources intended to increase their capacity to fight crime. COPS also funds the hiring of community policing officers. Since 1995, COPS has provided more than $6.9 billion to nearly 13,000 state and local law enforcement agencies to hire over 118,000 officers, deputies, and troopers.

100-point season for Nash doubtful
Jason Gregor
July 13 2009 08:18AM
To date 102 different players have totaled 100 or more points in an NHL season (to see the entire list, click here).
Phil Esposito was the first player to score 100 points in a season, when he scored twice in a 4-0 win over Pittsburgh on March 2, 1969. He went on to tally 126 points that year. Two others joined him later that year.
Bobby Hull set a new NHL record with 58 goals and finished with 107 points, while Gordie Howe recorded his first and only 100 point season at the young age of 41. He is still the oldest player to score 100 points in an NHL season. He did score 100 points in the WHA at 44 and 46 years of age.
Wayne Gretzky did it a whopping 15 times, 13 of them in consecutive seasons, and he is the only player to score 200 in a season, tallying 212, 205, 208 and 215. Mario Lemieux (10), Marcel Dionne (8), Mike Bossy (7) and Peter Stastny (7) round out the top five
Esposito, Dale Hawerchuk, Jari Kurri, Guy Lafleur, Mark Messier, Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman and Bryan Trottier all did six times.
Only five defenceman have reached the century mark, Bobby Orr did it six times in six straight years. Paul Coffey had five 100-point seasons, while Denis Potvin, Al MacInnis and Brian Leetch did it once.
Many feel the '80s were the highest scoring era, but the 1992/1993 season had 21 players score 100 or more points.
In 1971 the Bruins had four players reach triple digits in points, Esposito (152), Orr (139), John Bucyk (116) and Ken Hodge had 105. The Oilers had four teammates on three different occasions and the Penguins did it once.
The last player to have three consecutive 100-point seasons was Jeremy Roenick when he scored 103, 107 and 107 in 1992 to 1994. Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin can match that this coming season if they stay healthy.
44 players did it once; meaning only 58 players in the history of the game have done it multiple times. Denis Maruk had 136 points in 1982, which turned out to be 39 more than he scored in any other season. He had the most points of any guy to do it only once. Vic Hadfield had one great year when he scored 50 goals and had 106 points in 1972, but his next best total was only 73 points.
In the 1978/1979 season Bob MacMillan had the season of his career scoring 108 points with the Atlanta Flames, he never had more than 63 in any other year. The 45-point differential is the largest amongst any player to score 100 points.
Brian Leetch and Joe Thornton had the fewest goals of any 100-point season, finding the twine 22 times. Only Gretzky (23), Adam Oates (23) and (25), Craig Janney (24) and Doug Weight are the others to tally 100 points with 25 or less goals.
I looked into the 100-point season when it was brought up that Rick Nash was being paid for his potential and that he'll become a 100-point guy soon. Nash's best total to date is 79 points, and his best junior season was 72 points in 54 games.
The list is lengthy of guys who put up 100 points in junior and never came close to repeating that in the NHL; Patrick Thoresen jumps out in that category.
But how many guys never scored 100 points in junior, but went on to reach the century mark in the NHL? Most of the Europeans haven't because of the amount of games they played, but I was certain the list wouldn't be that long amongst players who played major junior, or even in the USHL.
Yzerman had 91 points in Peterborough, before becoming a six-time 100-point guy in the NHL. Phil Esposito had 71 points in 49 games, his only year in the OHL. He also went on to become a six-time 100-point guy, and it was his 5th NHL season the first time he cracked 100 points.
Ron Francis had 48 points in 25 games for Sault Ste. Marie in 1982 before he got called up to Hartford, but he was easily on pace to notch 100 that year in the OHL. Al MacInnis had 84 points in 51 games in Kitchener before getting called up to Calgary during the 1983 season. Jeremy Roenick had 70 points in 28 games for Hull in the QMJHL in 1988/89, while also playing for Chicago that year.
Messier's best year in the AJHL was 74 points in 54 games. He was never a huge point producer until he got to the NHL. He is a rare exception.
Brendan Shanahan potted 92 points with London, and he only had two 90+ point seasons in the NHL, with his best being 102 in 1994. Charlie Simmer had 99 points with the Greyhounds in the OHL, before rattling off back-to-back 100+ point seasons with the Kings. Eric Staal's best junior campaign was 98 points before he scored 100 in his 2nd NHL season.
Mike Gartner recorded 90 points for Niagara Falls in the OHL, and he only ever had more than 90 points three times in the NHL, and just the one 102 point season in Washington. Marian Hossa had 85 points in 53 games for Portland in the WHL, and to date he's only had one 100-point season.
Paul Maclean had 101 points with the Winnipeg Jets in 1985, but never had more than 79 any other year. His best junior year was 71 points in Hull. Strictly on a statistical basis he is the closest comparison to Nash. John Ogrodnick's best major junior season saw him score 88 points, and he only had two 80+ points seasons in the NHL, with his best season being 1985 when he produced 105 points. Johnny Bucyk tallied 88 points in 70 games for the Edmonton Flyers in the WHL.
There are seven Hall of Famers, and two guys who might get in when they retire, Shanahan and Roenick that are comparables. Considering Nash hasn't scored over 80 points in junior or the NHL so far, I think it is a stretch to assume he will become a 100-point player soon. It is possible since Maclean and Ogrodnick have done it, but Nash's chances are slim.
Neal Broten, Craig Janney, Joe Juneau, Joe Mullen, Doug Weight, Adam Oates, Kevin Stevens and Brett Hull all played college and then went on to 100 point seasons. But only Stevens (2), Oates (4) and Hull (4) did it more than once.
Pavel Bure, Markus and Mats Naslund, Kent Nilsson, Daniel Alfredsson, Jari Kurri, Alex Mogilny, Temmu Selanne, Malkin, Ovechkin, Mats Sundin, Jaromir Jagr, Sergei Federov, Peter Stastny and Hakan Loob are the Europeans who tallied 100.
Vic Hadfield only had 48 games seasons when he played junior, Bobby Hull had 52, Jean Pronovost had 54, Darryl Sittler 54, but he did score 99 points one year and Bobby Orr had 56, although he had two 90+ point seasons in Oshawa. Gordie Howe had 48 points in 51 games for Omaha in the USHL. Due to their low GP totals I didn't include them.
John Cullen played at Boston College, but he did score 157 points in his only IHL season in Flint. Paul Kariya had 100 points in 39 games for Maine in NCAA. Leetch had 101 points in 28 games for Cheshire in the high school league.
Dany Heatley had 70 goals and over 100 points in 1999 for the Calgary Canucks before playing college. Glenn Anderson scored 131 points in 64 games in the BCJHL for Bellingham. Peter Forsberg had 102 points in only 39 games for Modo Hockey Jr in the Swedish Junior league.
Nash's career stats to this point don't justify his new $7.8 million per season contract, and based on the past history of the game it doesn't look promising that he will ever score 100 points.

I'm guessing because they will see more seats in Winnipeg for a preseason game than they would in Tampa.
Also some teams like to have a road trip/bonding experience with their guys during camp.
Jason Gregor wrote:
I think if Nash was $6 million guy we'd think that was a fair contract.
Agreed, but I was already reading articles before this years July 1st touting Nash as possibly the most attractive UFA ever for next year. If we think 7.8 is overpayment now, and thats only Gomez/Briere money on the open market - imagine his contract then. "Burkie" (god I hate TSN now, when I hear them calling him their pet names I change the channel) would have blew his wad on him. As would 20 other NHL teams. That is all based on the cap though, if went down a lot he might not have seen this kind of dough again.
Overall an overpayment, but Nash would have made more as a UFA this year, and about 9 mil if he was UFA last year or one previous. He is decent, but Id take a 4.5 million Shane Doan over a 7.8 million Rick Nash anyday. Very similar players and stats, Nash may pot you a couple more goals though.
Hey Grega, you 110% sure thats the Oils schedule there? heh heh haw haw

I would rather overpay a goal scorer who has a history of success on my team that extra amount, but 1-1.5 seems to be the "home team boost" for non-competitive teams. It seems almost every teams pays more for certain players. The Rangers always gets UFAs and they always overpay for them. Gomez, Redden, Drury..etc… It is hard to base exactly what Nash is worth, but for every overpayment a team has, they need to have a few "steal of a deal" contracts to make up for it. I don't understand why guys get so defensive about Nash's value on here. The fact is he hasn't done anything to be paid as an Elite player, and based on the history of the game, and his stats, he will need to take his game to a level he has yet to achieve to become a 100 point player. He might, but the odds aren't in his favour based on what he has done to date. I think if Nash was $6 million guy we'd think that was a fair contract.
To be fair, he'd be worth what ever the market would bare, and I'd bet he could get 8+ if he was a UFA right now.

Here is the press release from the Oilers on a few new signings...
General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today, the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with forward Chris Minard and defenceman Matt Nickerson.
Minard, 27, split the 2008-09 season between the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In 20 games with Pittsburgh, Minard collected one goal and two assists for three points. In 54 games with Wilkes-Barre, he recorded 34 goals and 23 assists for 57 points, including 21 power play goals. He also led Wilkes-Barre in goals and finished fourth on the club in scoring.
The Owen Sound, Ontario native has scored 25 or more goals in each of his last three AHL seasons, including 25 goals with Wilkes-Barre during the 2007-08 campaign and 32 markers with the Lowell Devils during the 2006-07 season. In 213 career AHL games, Minard has totaled 98 goals and 69 assists for 167 points.
Through his seven-year professional career, Minard has played 35 career NHL games recording two goals and three assists for five points.
Nickerson is returning to North America after spending the previous two seasons playing professionally in Finland and Sweden. The Old Lyme, Connecticut native was originally drafted by the Dallas Stars in the third round (99th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound defenceman made his AHL debut with the Iowa Stars during the 2006-07 campaign collecting three points and 97 penalty minutes in 40 games.
Never read the whole list. But was Bernie Nichols on it ? I think he got 150 points with the kings

He had three 100 point seasons...He and Gretzky are the only teammates to have 150+ points in the same season.

The Old State House Museum of Arkansas has a wonderful collection of quilts made by black women. My neighbor happens to be the current director. When he was an assistant director, he asked me (who along with my mom and a couple of my sisters) to sew the "sleeves" on the back of these quilts so they could be exhibited. I loved that job! I loved getting to touch and look at them up close. Recently I discovered that many, if not all, of them can be viewed on-line. Here is a sample of them, but please go to their website and view all of them.
I thought a nice starting place, in light of the election season would be this political quilt. The Donkey quilt was pieced by Beatrice Ruth Calhoun Williamson, Texarkana, in 1932-1934. Some history of donkey quilts can be found here.
Next there is this brightly colored American Tree quilt, circa 1940, made by Herma Williams.
This Pine Cone quilt, pieced by Oscar Evans, circa 1984, is very heavy! I recall that from sewing on the "sleeve". It is much more impressive in person than in this picture.
I really like this one (well, I like them all). This Stars quilt, circa 1890-1910, was made by Asia Cummings Shed. It was considered a "show piece," used only on special occasions.
I hope you will go to the Old State House's web site and look through their on-line exhibit--A Piece of My Soul, Quilts by Black Arkansans. It's very interesting. You could easily spend an hour or two there. I know I'll be back to the site more than twice!
