Chapter 14
Samson slays a young lion with his bare hands—He marries a Philistine wife, propounds a riddle, is deceived by his wife, and slays thirty Philistines.
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the
5 ¶Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 And the
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 ¶And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 ¶So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 ¶And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty
13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife,
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 ¶And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.


text: The Shadow's Dream is not an animation and has no right in the Animation Blog. But as the director is the esteemed animator, Jeff Scher, I asked management's permission and was granted my wish. Strolling the streets of New York Jeff holds his camera upside down catching the shadows of passers-by caught for a fleeting moment in silhouette, going about their business in particularly bright sunlight. Thus a shadow distributes advertising cards, a wheelchair wheels by, a pigeon pecks, stilettos, trainers, mother and child, briefcase bearer. As usual the original music of Shay Lynch lends an urgency to proceedings already apparent in the brightness and dark, the vibrancy of city life. And as usual Jeff poetically conveys intentions and depth in his own description. The title echoes Pindar, a parallel world, a fleeting moment, a metaphor for life. The latter link is to The New York Times, for whom Jeff works, but it might be noted the initial reference is to a special compilation, Best of Times, 14 of the director's films available on the iPhone App Store for, as I am informed, less than a pack of New York cigarettes, or £6.99 here in the UK where the pound continues its inexorable descent against the mighty dollar as we seek financial and political accommodation. The blurb always speaks of Jeff being an experimental filmmaker. Well he is I suppose although I've watched some desperately dull experimental films in my time and Jeff's films never fall into that category.

I had a 40 gallon gas water heated installed on Dec. 10. On Dec 24, I discovered a large dent, about 5 inches across and 3/4 inches deep, in the bottom portion of the water heater. It had been concealed by the standard paperwork that accompanies a water heater. That paperwork had been taped to the side, but fell off, and that is when I discovered the dent. When I called the company I purchased if from and demanded a replacement, they brushed it off and told me it would not affect the safety or performance of the unit. Do I have a concern here?

|In response to Re: Laundry waste line design flaw??
: : I just finished a new laundry room. After two uses of the washer, the drain backs up. It might be clogged, but I would be surprised if it is. When I installed the 2" drain pipe, I avoided going through the foundation by using a series of long 90 ells that drop through the wall, outside and then below grade. Could this be my problem? there are 5 ells going down in a stairstep fashion.

Scotland have added 13 players to their 23-man matchday squad ahead of Saturday's clash with a confident Italy at Murrayfield.
Scotland have added 13 players to their 23-man squad ahead of Saturday's clash with Italy at Murrayfield.
Hooker Pat MacArthur, back-rower Robert Harley and full-back Peter Murchie (all Glasgow Warriors) together with Edinburgh lock Grant Gilchrist had all travelled with the main party to Twickenham for their opener against England.
Peter Horne, the Glasgow Warriors centre, will return to camp having been ruled out of the England game due to a thumb injury.
Eight players are promoted from the Scotland A squad following their 13-9 win over England Saxons at Newcastle on Friday.
They are: props Jon Welsh (Glasgow Warriors) and Alasdair Dickinson (Sale Sharks), hooker Steve Lawrie (Edinburgh), back-rower Richie Vernon (Sale Sharks), scrum-half Sean Kennedy (Glasgow Warriors), fly-half Tom Heathcote (Bath) and wings Nikki Walker (Worcester Warriors) and Duncan Taylor (Saracens).
Scotland team doctor James Robson revealed that Perpignan flanker Alasdair Strokosch will see a surgeon on Tuesday to decide if he can play any further part in this year's Six Nations.
Strokosch had to retire injured early in last Saturday's Calcutta Cup loss to England.
"It would seem he has a fractured orbit (area around the eye) but, as ever with such collision-type injuries, they can take time to settle," explained Robson.
"He will be examined by Martin Paley, a maxillary facial specialist at Spire Murrayfield Hospital on Tuesday, to determine the extent of the injury and any recovery schedule."
In addition to Strokosch, a number of other Scotland forwards will require medical assessment over the next few days.
Hooker Dougie Hall (knee), back-row forwards David Denton (knee) and Johnnie Beattie (ankle) will be under the care of physiotherapists Paul McGinley and Stephen Mutch.

In May of 2004, someone vandalized and stole the plaques that were mounted on a rock at the Buckhorn Panel. Reed Martin, of the Emery County Historical Society, and Sam Espinoza, of the Bureau of Land Management, installed the replacement plaques on March 2.
Following the theft last year of the original plaques, a reward was offered for any information concerning the vandalism and theft. This reward, which now stands at $1,000 is still being offered for that information and the investigation is ongoing.
Martin and Espinoza, along with Clifford Oviatt spent many hours during the previous week preparing the site for the replacement plaques.
They decided to mount the new plaques on a pedestal base similar to the other signs at the site.
The base was cemented in last week, and preparations began for the final plaque installation.
"The money to replace the stolen plaques came from donations collected at the Buckhorn Panel.
"Also, the Utah Rock Art Research Association donated $300.
"The replacement bill has come to well over $700, and without the donations, and Clifford donating the stone to mount the plaques on, this project would have been a while coming," said Martin.
"Sam has been instrumental in this project. He has done the engineering, fabrication and installation. We really appreciate the BLM donating the materials and manpower," added Martin.

By NEMS Daily Journal
The Daily Journal's top-ranked girls team, Ripley, is set to return to the court after its 48-45 upset of the state's No. 1 team, Southaven, on Saturday in the Domino's Shootout at Hickory Flat.
The Lady Tigers (14-4) open Division 1-3A play tonight – weather permitting – at home against Kossuth.
"We never backed down from (Southaven), even when they made that initial run," Ripley coach Katie Bates said, referring to Southaven's 16-8 first-quarter lead. "I knew we were going to battle. I knew we were going to take it to them."
Jayla Chills and Jada Rich shared the scoring honors for Ripley with 12 points apiece. Rich scored eight of her points and grabbed a key late rebound for the Lady Tigers.
Southaven (16-2)started three Division I signees and two D-I prospects.
"It was nice to be challenged like that," Bates said. "It gives you hope for what's ahead."
Baldwyn's boys (17-0) are still unbeaten and a county rival would love to end that run.
The Bearcats' next big challenge could come Saturday night in Jumpertown – a possible matchup against Booneville (13-3) in the Prentiss County Tournament championship.
However, Baldwyn coach Jason McKay won't let his team look ahead. The Bearcats will play Friday in the tournament against Jumpertown or Wheeler.
"Booneville is without a doubt the best team I've seen this year, without a doubt," McKay said, "If it comes down to us and Boonevllle, that's not only an intense rival, it's a team you have tremendous respect for."
Baldwyn, powered by 3-pointer shoot Tevin Lindsey, already has wins over Class 4A contender Shannon, 3A contender Aberdeen and 1A contender Biggersville. Booneville, led by Kenny Paul Geno, has seen steady improvement and also has its share of big wins against Mooreville, Tupelo and Shannon.
Union County will also crown a champion this weekend. The tournament is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday at New Albany.
One of the highlights should be a Friday boys semifinals game between Myrtle and host New Albany.

Back in Action
A Grace Place was swirling with activity Sept. 16, as volunteers scattered throughout the Henrico facility – some with books to read, others with paintbrushes in hand – to share their time, talents and smiles with others.
It was all part of the Greater Richmond and Petersburg United Way's annual Day of Action, during which some 300 volunteers teamed to visit 20 organizations throughout the region and lend their assistance in the form of 900 volunteer hours. The event signaled the kickoff of the United Way's annual fundraising drive which this year seeks to raise $17 million for the local chapter and the charities to which it contributes.
At A Grace Place, volunteers from Owens and Minor, Sun Trust and Dominion broke into several groups to help clients prepare for a fashion show the next day; host a jazz trivia event for others; paint an area in need of sprucing up; and lend their smiles and assistance to AGP's clients and staff members.
"It's a way for volunteers to get a firsthand look at what they can do for the United Way," said Lynne Seward, CEO of A Grace Place.
A Grace Place, a non-profit organization founded in 1969, provides daytime health services, support and activities for adults who have a wide range of special needs – from those with mental handicaps such as dementia and autism to those with disabilities and senior citizens with chronic conditions. Its 229 clients come from all over the Metro Richmond region, their visits covered fully or partially by Medicaid in most cases and by scholarships in others. Its Board of Directors is composed entirely of volunteers.
The organization considers itself fortunate to have a strong group of corporate partners, including those who visited during last month's Day of Action, as well as Genworth and Altria, Seward said. Local schools, including Collegiate, St. Christopher's and VCU, also send students to research and volunteer at AGP.
"It's great that corporations give time like this," Seward said, gesturing toward a group of volunteers from Owens and Minor as they took a group photograph before setting off to mingle with clients. "They go back to work with renewed energy."
The average client at A Grace Place receives services there for about a decade, Seward said. The organization usually has a handful of open spots, but Seward realizes that for each person it helps, countless others in the community are going without that same type of care. There simply aren't enough options available to provide care for the growing number of people afflicted with various conditions, including Alzheimer's, she said.
"We don't know where [many of them] are getting care right now," Seward said.
A Grace Place is adding services so that it will be able to accept more adults with autism and Alzheimer's. But, "the issue is funding," she said. The United Way's annual donations help – A Grace Place received more than $122,000 during its Fiscal Year 2008-09 – but funding from other sources continues to slide.
In one room last month, clients with dementia listened intently, smiles creeping across several of their faces, as a volunteer read a Dr. Seuss story. The room, decorated in soft tones and with children's furniture, is designed to provide clients with a sense of their own childhood years.
Age Wave Planning
With United Way and Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging, leading the way, a number of public and private organizations and businesses recently joined together to initiate the Greater Richmond Age Wave program, which seeks to prepare the region for the anticipated population boom among senior citizens. Projections show that the number of adults 65 and older in Virginia will double to 700,000 or 800,000 within 20 years, creating a broad range of needs – and opportunities.
"We're already not meeting the needs of people today," said Lea Setegn, spokeswoman for the United Way. "What are we going to do when it doubles?"
The project seeks to identify potential challenges associated with the growing senior population – such as the need for affiliated services and long-term care options – identify gaps in the system and make recommendations about how to fill them.
Perhaps most troubling to those like Seward who see the effects firsthand is that most families are uninformed about the options that exist for their family members.
"Families are totally caught off-guard," she said. "People don't plan – for retirement or for their own future fees."
But A Grace Place also experiences the flip side of the growing population. It enjoys support from a number of volunteers who are themselves part of the Baby Boomers generation, Seward said.
"Baby boomers are changing everything that they touch," she said. "We have boomers who come in and don't only volunteer but invent new programs."

This year's team – Ashild, Laurel, Milena, Mohammed Saad and myself – is finally complete and we're ready to kick off the 2012 season of excavating in the cemeteries at Amara West. The strong winds of the last few days have made excavation a bit difficult, but on Friday conditions were perfect.
There's no time to be wasted: despite exhausting travelling from Europe to Khartoum and then immediately onwards to Amara West, work started the day after everyone arrived and settled into the house.
The first day on site, everyone familiarised themselves with the cemetery and started documenting the surface features of individual graves. Except for Mohammed Saad, none of the other members of the cemetery team have worked in Sudan before.
Laurel is working on a small burial mound (G310), and was the first one to start 'real' excavation. Three workmen soon revealed a large, rectangular pit orientated east-west filled with windblown sand. After about one metre, the shaft starts cutting into the bedrock.
On the western side of the shaft, something that looked like the opening to a burial chamber soon appeared – very much to everyone's excitement.
Unfortunately, however, the grave turned out to be empty – perhaps looted in ancient times like many of the graves at Amara West.
Well, there are plenty more to come.

Comments: The UV Buff has been an essential for me when I am out on the water, whether I am fishing in the middle of summer or the dead center of winter...you can bet I have my buff on. They keep you protected from the sun in the summer, and it wicks your sweat. In the winter in is perfect for keeping your nose and ears warm, and completely eliminates the threat of wind, not to mention the cool patterns. The only con I have is if you where it balaclava style with sunglasses and you breath out of your nose it fogs the lenses a lot, but you can always breath out of your mouth so no worries. Amazing product, well worth the price, and durable.
From: Luke: Brentwood, TN 12/27/14
Comments: I love my buff, It is great for doing anything, especially for the outdoors. I have the largemouth bass pattern and I wear it every single day! When I'm going to school, fishing, working out or playing sports, I have my buff on. It really does help block the wind, as well as a nice UV protector and some warmth to your face. Get yourself one today, and you won't regret it!

WELLINGTON-Clifford Larry Boren, age 86 passed away May 22, 2010 after suffering a broken hip followed immediately by aspiration pneumonia. He had coped well for years with diabetes and COPD/Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Larry was born July 18,1923 to James Walter and Lucy Jane Herring Boren in White Rocks, Utah (Uintah Basin) but soon thereafter moved to Wellington and remained.
He was blessed and baptized into the LDS Church but became fascinated with studying the Bible thoroughly by subject and trusted numerous prophets, and was then baptized into the Seventh-Day Adventist Church when he was 13 years old.
With only a ninth grade education he was considered very wise in many ways throughout his life.
In 1943 Larry volunteered and courageously served in the U.S. Army during World War II, getting his basic and specialized training at Camp Polk in Claiborne, La., and was stationed in England, France and Germany serving with the 3593rd Quartermaster Truck Company. He was authorized to wear the European Theatre Ribbon, The Good Conduct Medal, The American Theatre Ribbon and the Victory Ribbon. Thanks to his praying mother, and our loving Heavenly Father, he miraculously escaped a bullet fired just four feet away, aimed directly at his face. He arrived home on Christmas Day for his first furlough and was Honorably Discharged as T-5 (Sergeant) on Dec. 18, 1945. Larry was always very content at home, never interested in traveling much after his tour of duty, rarely spoke about the war, and humbly shrugged off any honorable mention for serving our Country or any other admiration.
He married Mona Lee Hanna on Christmas Day 1947 and they celebrated 44 years of marriage while he was being an awesome care giver for his highly valued wife during her valiant battle with cancer. They lived briefly in Sunnyside before they bought his parent's home in Wellington. Together they remodeled and faithfully maintained that home until their deaths.
Larry was a dedicated employee for 40 years with Kaiser Steel Corp. He was hired at the newly opened Sunnyside Coal Mine just before serving in the U.S. Army, then returned and became the Michigan Operator on the surface/bullgang, receiving company honors at various times and retired in 1984. He was a member of United Mine Workers of America, local #9958.
Larry always had a passion for nice cars, trucks and hats. He was gifted in mechanics and home maintenance and had a perfect driving record. He was still operating his own John Deere tractor. He was always peaceful, patient, persevering and self-controlled. He enjoyed camping, throwing horseshoes, hunting, fishing, country music, was an avid Utah Jazz fan during the Stockton and Malone days and began bowling after the loss of his wife.
He is survived by his daughter, Teena (T.J.) Jaramillo, and son, Larry Lee Boren, both of Wellington, Utah. Seven grandchildren: Duane (Maria), Leroy, Dustin, and Chayse Boren and Nicholas (Theresa), Desiree' and Robbie Jaramillo; one great granddaughter, Macy Boren; with many "Bonus" grandchildren and great-grandchildren; plus numerous nieces and nephews.

The No Spin Zone was in Full Spin. Karl (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Bill (oreilly
Do they really think most people buy their bullshit!?
No mention of the Questionable Obama Social Security Number(s) and the FACT that Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah AKA Barry Soetoro is fighting the release of ALL past records with lawyers paid with our tax dollars.
Let me explain it again; In the state of Hawaii, at the time of Obama's birth, and even still today, foreign-born children could/can easily obtain a Hawaiian COLB. That also would have triggered the newspaper announcements as they were produced from a list sent by the Hawaii DOH, not the hospital. Not that it Matters where Obama was Born...
P.S., Bill and Karl, I'm not a "truther" as you claim. That issue has no bearing on Obama's Constitutional Eligibility...

Confirmed: Hawaii Department of Health is Aiding and Abetting Obama & Gangs Forged Certification of Live Birth, Got Final Nail in the Coffin!? -Details at Source.
Flashback from the Right Side of Life; Meet the only 2 people to ever "examine" Obama's SHORT-FORM COLB's.
Those two are completely unqualified to perform any kind of forensic examination of any document, and FactCheck.org knows it — and so do Henig and Miller.
FactCheck does say their, "representatives got a chance to spend some time with the 'birth certificate,' and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago." In my mind, that clearly shows they were working with and for the Obama Campaign and that Obama and his people are involved in this lie. Much more HERE.
And this; - Blogger manipulates birth certificate image, undermining Obama claims - Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of palpably fake Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same Daily Kos blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears. Much more HERE and HERE.
And this oldie; Hawaii Officials refuse to verify president's online COLBs images released by Obama's campaign and FactCheck.org...
In response to a direct question from WND, the Hawaii Department of Health refused to authenticate either of the two versions of President Obama's short-form Certificate of Live Birth, or COLB, posted online – neither the image produced by the Obama campaign nor the images released by FactCheck.org. Janice Okubu, the public information officer for the Hawaii DOH, also had no explanation for why Dr. Fukino's initial press release last October and subsequent press release also avoided declaring the posted images to be of authentic documents.
FactCheck.org, an organization funded by the same left-leaning Annenberg Foundation that also employed Barack Obama and former Weatherman radical bomber Bill Ayers, produced a short-form Obama COLB that was very different in appearance than the campaign released. Source. And much more HERE.
Forgery is nothing new to the Obama campaign, via Debbie Schlussel; Obama's Selective Service Draft Registration Raises Serious Questions.
Did President-elect Barack Hussein Obama commit a federal crime in September of this(last) year? Or did he never actually register and, instead, did friends of his in the Chicago federal records center, which maintains the official copy of his alleged Selective Service registration commit the crime for him?
It's either one or the other, as indicated by the release of Barack Obama's official Selective Service registration for the draft. The full investigative report is HERE.
And via Give us Liberty; EXPLOSIVE...more proof that AKA OBAMA is a fraud and very likely not even an American citizen!... - Obama conspiracy – It's no longer just a theory - A man who fails to register with SS before turning 26 may find that some doors are permanently closed. This is a must read HERE.
Bonus; CONFIRMED: Factcheck.org Published Bogus Fact Regarding Obama's British/Kenyan Citizenship. We can report that it has been conclusively established – the Factcheck.org report contains false information. Factcheck.org – Inaccuracy #1: Obama's Kenyan Citizenship did not expire on Aug 4, 1982. Factcheck.org was absolutely wrong when they reported Obama's Kenyan citizenship expired on Aug 4, 1982.
Factcheck.org – Inaccuracy #2: While Obama's status as a British citizen may have been short lived, Factcheck.org failed to state that his status as a British subject was not short lived. Research has discovered multiple legal mechanisms which have the potential to establish that Obama is now a full citizen of Kenya as well as the United Kingdom, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Nations and the Republic of Indonesia. Source.
Confirmed: - Democratic Party of Hawaii would not certify in 2008 that Obama was constitutionally and legally eligible for the Office of President - Source.

Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Rodent 4" 6pk
The Strike King Rodent is a heavy cover fishing dream. Designed to make a major disturbance under the water, the Rodent searches out the big ones. The Rodents bubble tipped appendages and soft plastic tails have incredible action in the water. The Rodent is a great choice for heavy cover and works excellent on a Texas rig, Carolina Rig or as a Jig trailer. The new Rodent contains the world's best blend of soft plastic ingredients! This allows the use of large amounts of salt yet keeps the bait soft and pliable. The Coffee scent adds to the appeal as it masks human scents and oils contributing to added bites and longer hold times increasing hook-up percentages.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Had a great day on them fishing a very pressured pond, with a 2 & a 3 on back to back casts! Not bad for the first time throwing these after sitting in my tackle stash for over two years, the fish are smart here in Jersey so these things are legit.
From: Jay6: USA 5/7/15
Comments: Best flipping bait I have ever used. Works great punching mats and flipping docks and timber. Great on channel edges with stumps during pre-spawn. Double header candy is great in clearer water. I like okechobee craw in moderately stained water and blue bug or black with blue flake in dirty water. I get so many bites, the durability isn't a problem. One of my go to baits.
From: Michael: Mineola, TX 2/17/15
Comments: I am a beaver style bait fanatic and the KVD Rodent is by far the best choice. I don't know what it is with this bait but the action is intense and the strikes are continuous. My favorite color is Road Kill, I just bought up all they had here so I'm now ready for the spring.
From: Rocky: Weirton, WV 12/9/14
Comments: Best beaver on the market!! Close with sweet beaver but this comes on top because of the colors and how many PIGS i have caught using these baits. I fish these mainly for texas rigging and flipping. I've used black & red, black & blue, okeechobee craw, and summer craw. Great baits besides durability but i still buy a lot of em.
From: Matt: LA
Comments: This bait is awesome. Bought 7 packs from fleet farm for 2 dollars each. The durability is not the greatest but the smell is great and it catches fish.
From: David: Milwaukee
Comments: Might be one of the best flipping baits on the market. Just wish it was a little more durable, but I have caught giants on it flipping thick mats on 3/4 ounce weights. Have also thrown it on light weights for flipping laydowns and have done just as well. I prefer it for flipping though. Goes through cover exceptionally well.
From: Jack: CT
Comments: The bait definitely catches fish. But it's too soft too use as extensively as other beavers. That softness helps catch fish but it tears more easily than a robo worm
From: Justin: Mason, Ohio
Comments: I can't even tell you how many big fish I have caught on this creature bait this year! I have rigged it with a 3/16 oz weight and a 4/0 Trokar EWG hook (you will not loose fish with that hook- it's worth EVERY penny). That slow fall really triggers the fish around light shallow cover like reeds, lily pads, timber and docks. The only drawback is clearly the durability, but I will say despite that I still buy I ton of them because they are so worth the extra cost to replace them. As for colors, I've used green pumpkin, hard candy, Okeechobee craw, and watermelon red flake- they ALL work and can't wait to try out some more!
From: Tom: Ham Lake, MN
Comments: Great tournament bait, The fish really key in on the salt/coffee scent and hold on to it for a long while. Although the durability of these baits are not their strong point as they rip out the nose pretty easy. They consistently catch fish. In a pinch if the tear is not too bad a Bic lighter or arrow fletching glue will usually repair them for the next day till I can get some more. Would really like to see Strike King toughen up on the material though.
From: John: Louisville, KY
Comments: This bait is by far the best bait for flipping and pitching heavy cover. It smells so good make me want to eat.
From: Michael: GA
Comments: great bait I've flipped a lot of creature baits but this one is the bomb yes they tear easy but defiantly worth it I've flipped nothing but this bait this year and I've caught more bass on it than any other bait and bigger fish on it then any other bait this bait has great action tht really Apeals to bass I would recommend this bait to anyone who likes to flip because It will hep u CATCH MORE BASS!!! My favorite colors this sumer was junebug, okeechobee craw,and candy craw
From: Sam: LA
Comments: i love these creature baits. very soft plastic that gives them great action, but, it also impeads their durability. even though they may not withstand alot, fish absolutly love them trust me. i live pegging a bullet weight on the nose of a owner flippin hook and rigging these things for some nasty trees. love this bait and fish do too!
From: Mat: OH
Comments: the coffee sent was a great idea, and really actually works, but the plastic used in these perfect plastic baits is so soft, and the put so much salt in them it impossible to get more than 1 fish per bait. This bait got my one 10 inch bass and the bait was done had to switch it out, the fluke type bait doesn't even last more than 3 or 4 cast because twitching it causes the hook to wear through the nose of the bait on soft twitches, and teh senko style bait good lord, can;t even put that one on a hook before it falls apart. The rage line are good and they hold up, but these im very disappointed in
Comments: GREAT bait!!! Love these things and have caught a ton of fish on them. Just wish they were a little more durable
From: Dustin: Eva, AL
Comments: This bait is ok. I caught a couple fish with them. But the least durable soft plastic ive used just hooking this thing once or twice would destroy it.
From: Jack: CA
Comments: great bait caught fish all depts good jig trailer
Comments: Great bait!!!!!!! helped me catch a 3.26 kg bass in the junior nationals and come second... would recommend it to anyone just buy a lot of them cause they tear easily..... but definitely worth it!!!!
From: Ben: Cape Town, Western Cape South Africa
Comments: Great bait but you'd be lucky to catch 10 bass a pack. Legs tear off after one jump but this is the bait to go to in a tournament.
From: Garrett, Canton, MI
Comments: Excellent lure, after seeing greg hackney use it first hand, i bought some to try. the rodent has been one of my go to baits sense then. it's hard to throw any other bait. like it's name, perfect plastic. awesome, can't wait for the smaller ones.
From: Kip: Harrisonburg, VA
Comments:Seems to be a softer body than a Sweet Beaver, size wise it's a little smaller profile as well. Plus with the coffee in it, it gives the fish a smell and taste that's different than anything else on the market. All in all this is quickly becoming a go to bait for me.
From:Travis: Rio Rancho, NM

Sloane Stephens upsets Serena Williams
Sloane Stephens, a 19-year-old American who has the eyes to be a champion and the stamina to live up to it, was paired against Serena Williams, possibly the best American women's tennis player to ever hit a yellow ball on a court that has seen five trophy ceremonies set for Serena.
The match ended with Stephens upsetting the elder Williams 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, but there was plenty of action in between those numbers.

Love these!
"These shoes fit my foot perfect, literally! Usually I have issues since I have very narrow feet, so they probably wouldn't fit someone with wide feet. Nice and tight around my ankle, so they weren't loose at all. Platform makes them really high so I felt a little unsteady at first but after walking around in them I feel more comfortable. The only thing I would change is a tread on the bottom for better grip!!! Overall really nice shoe and looking forward to wearing them."

How children lost the right to roam in four generations
By DAVID DERBYSHIRE
Last updated at 01:03am on 15th June 2007
When George Thomas was eight he walked everywhere.
It was 1926 and his parents were unable to afford the fare for a tram, let alone the cost of a bike and he regularly walked six miles to his favourite fishing haunt without adult supervision.
Fast forward to 2007 and Mr Thomas's eight-year-old great-grandson Edward enjoys none of that freedom.
He is driven the few minutes to school, is taken by car to a safe place to ride his bike and can roam no more than 300 yards from home.
Even if he wanted to play outdoors, none of his friends strays from their home or garden unsupervised.
The contrast between Edward and George's childhoods is highlighted in a report which warns that the mental health of 21st-century children is at risk because they are missing out on the exposure to the natural world enjoyed by past generations.
The report says the change in attitudes is reflected in four generations of the Thomas family in Sheffield.
The oldest member, George, was allowed to roam for six miles from home unaccompanied when he was eight.
His home was tiny and crowded and he spent most of his time outside, playing games and making dens.
Mr Thomas, who went on to become a carpenter, has never lost some of the habits picked up as a child and, aged 88, is still a keen walker.
His son-in-law, Jack Hattersley, 63, was also given freedom to roam.
He was aged eight in 1950, and was allowed to walk for about one mile on his own to the local woods. Again, he walked to school and never travelled by car.
By 1979, when his daughter Vicky Grant was eight, there were signs that children's independence was being eroded.
"I was able to go out quite freely - I'd ride my bike around the estate, play with friends in the park and walk to the swimming pool and to school," said Mrs Grant, 36.
"There was a lot less traffic then - and families had only one car. People didn't make all these short journeys."
Today, her son Edward spends little time on his own outside his garden in their quiet suburban street. She takes him by car to school to ensure she gets to her part-time job as a medical librarian on time.
While he enjoys piano lessons, cubs, skiing lessons, regular holidays and the trampoline, slide and climbing frame in the garden, his mother is concerned he may be missing out.
She said: "He can go out in the crescent but he doesn't tend to go out because the other children don't. We put a bike in the car and go off to the country where we can all cycle together.
"It's not just about time. Traffic is an important consideration, as is the fear of abduction, but I'm not sure whether that's real or perceived."
She added: "Over four generations our family is poles apart in terms of affluence. But I'm not sure our lives are any richer."
The report's author, Dr William Bird, the health adviser to Natural England and the organiser of a conference on nature and health on Monday, believes children's long-term mental health is at risk.
He has compiled evidence that people are healthier and better adjusted if they get out into the countryside, parks or gardens.
Stress levels fall within minutes of seeing green spaces, he says. Even filling a home with flowers and plants can improve concentration and lower stress.
"If children haven't had contact with nature, they never develop a relationship with natural environment and they are unable to use it to cope with stress," he said.
"Studies have shown that people deprived of contact with nature were at greater risk of depression and anxiety. Children are getting less and less unsupervised time in the natural environment.
"They need time playing in the countryside, in parks and in gardens where they can explore, dig up the ground and build dens."
The report, published by Natural England and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, also found that children's behaviour and school work improve if their playground has grassy areas, ponds and trees.
It also found evidence that hospital patients need fewer painkillers after surgery if they have views of nature from their bed.
I roamed everywhere when I was a kid. My kids didn't get to do that.
It happened in one generation.
I roam on FR...
I remember heading out to the woods to build forts with my friends. I was about 8 years old. My daughter is 9. I am terrified if she is out of sight for even a few minutes without adult supervision.
You think that the media has something to do with your fear?
It's my understanding that crimes like child kidnapping etc are no higher today then in the past. Just nationally reported these days.
Being born in 64 I had a great deal of freedom as a kid. Up until is was about 8 years old we lived in one of those patches of private property in the middle of some state land. When I was 6 I got bit by a small massasauga rattlesnake when I was looking under rocks and logs.
When we did move to town it was just a tiny village where all the kids ran wild. From town I walked the 4 miles down the old railroad bed to the lake for fishing. When I was about 10, myself and a few of the other kids my age would go camping in the woods outside town by ourselves.
Probably we do know more about crimes against children because of the media reports, but I really suspect there are more people who would commit such crimes than there were in past also. It strikes me that their behavior is fueled by the ready availability of child pornography. Certainly there is a connection between the two right here in our (otherwise very crime-free) little town. The police do a regular sting operation that lures child predators here. Many of those apprehended have been regarded as respectable citizens, but most have been found to have been accessing child porn on their computers.
People drive into their garages, go inside from the garage, and rarely stray outside after that. And if they do, the only place for them to go is their fenced-off back yards.
As a result, many subdivision-dwellers don't know their neighbors.
And, of course, there's the "ninny state" effect at work, too. Parents want to protect their kids from all sorts of monsters -- some that are real, of course, but many that are not.
Todays y'ut doesn't WANT to roam; would rather sit inside and become big flat fannys with two blood-shot eyeballs...
I have in my neighborhood 8 convicted sexual predators. There have been two drive-by shootings since I have lived here. No way do I allow my kids out.The perception is pretty much based on reality here.
My youth up till age 12 was spent in New Orleans. Used to roam the west bank river levee with my friends from Algiers to Belle Chase. We'd also ride our bikes to the ferry and hit the French Quarter for the day. A couple of eleven year olds on Bourbon street was quite an educational experience in the early 70's.
Yes, there's a lot of truth in what you said. Another reason might be that people are having fewer kids these days, and "helicopter-ing" over them a lot more.
My interpretation is that they were always pervs. Now they are busted pervs thanks to the internet.
Remember that many of the cases of child molestation by priests/preachers etc occurred during times that we remember as being 'safe'. Turns out they were not so much safe as covered up. Respectable citizens indeed.
You don't know as their was no way to find out at the time.
Remember that frightened people are easy to manipulate. Their are groups of people that like you scared all the time.
My great grandmother once told me about a child rapist / murderer caught near where she lived in northern michigan in the early part of the last century. She made a cryptic comment about some of the local fathers taking him on a tour of the steel mill in the middle of the night and he never came back to town.
In comparison to my mom I am more overprotective. My kids aren't embarrassed by it, since I don't go around announcing it to their friends.
Honestly, I don't want to know my particular neighbors. We have a chain link fence in our backyard. My next door neighbor is always asking, "Why aren't you out more?" Just because I'm not out on his schedule does not mean I'm not out.
The towns folks caught him and set him on fire.
He came back in the dreams of their children"....One two Freddys comin for you..three four better shut your door...five six grab a crucifix...seven eight gonna stay up late...nine ten never sleep again.."
I think the independence factor is the issue, not necessarily exposure to rocks and rills. My uppermost priority in childhood was to go off to see the world on my own, even just to roller skate at six years of age blocks beyond my "boundary" in Queens (NY). I was a tiny little girl and Mom was a micromanager. I just could not stand it!
New Orleans was the second city I was allowed to explore on my own. I loved its murky strangeness. My grandmother lived there in the Garden District and we visited every Easter vacation. I was FINALLY allowed to wander the Quarter by myself at age 12, though I wanted to slip my moorings much earlier. The year before, at 11, I got to prowl around San Francisco, where we stayed in the St. Francis Hotel in 1947. My mother was pregnant and I wasn't about to hang around the hotel all day. The doorman pointed me toward Chinatown: "Walk uphill, and walk downhill to get back to the hotel."
It wasn't all that different in the sixties when my kids grew up on the beach between Santa Monica and Marina del Rey. We lived in the Marina and they walked or biked to SamoHi every day. There were some bad characters then, but self-destructive hippie druggies were relatively harmless to others. Now, of course, an adult would be crazy to walk that beach alone without two Dobermans and an Uzi.
I spent a few delightful years as a travel writer, with assignments all over the world. Both of my kids headed to foreign shores the minute they left school. I'm seriously ticked that so many countries are so dangerous for Americans now, and even more ticked that I seem to look like an easy target at my allegedly advanced age. @#$#&(*& to THAT!
Four? More like one generation!
How true—it was just one generation.
That may be very true for these ever expanding city urban types. But there are also many country kids, go look at the blue states by county map... and we're always out doors and doing stuff. BTW I was born in 85, so I'm not talking about some previous generation. But I know others from college who came from Chicago and such and they have spent all their lives in condos and downtown neon worlds. But I think that it's more a symptom of population concentration than generational differences.
I consider myself very lucky, in that we live on a USMC base. My children are, for the most part, safe to roam and run outside whenever they choose. Too bad it's too dang hot lately. It is also a neighborhood where there are few who are afraid to come outside and greet their neighbors and chat over the back fence, so to speak.
One of my favorite things about being a military family is the sense of community that living on base gives me. My children seem to have a more "normal" after-school existence, because they are able to run and play in a safe environment, in addition to the fact that I know a majority of my neighbors. As a result, I have never felt the need to over-extend them with arranged activities. We also have a great youth center here on base (within walking distance) that they can play at when it gets too hot (110 here at 4pm).
Growing up in the citrus belt in Florida I was walking several blocks to visit a friend in my rural neighborhood in 1965. A car pulls beside me, pushes the car door open an offers me a 'ride'. Had a car not come over the hill (very rare) in the opposite direction, causing the pedophile to speed off, who knows what may have happened.
There have always been perverts. We are just more aware of them now. (and probably know one or two)
The contrast between Edward and George's childhoods is highlighted in a report which warns that the mental health of 21st-century children is at risk because they are missing out on the exposure to the natural world enjoyed by past generations.Gosh, this wouldn't be an attack on private property er anythin', would it? Kids plant their little asses in front of the idiot box (used to refer to TV, now includes computer gaming machines) and never read a book for the same reason they don't go outside -- no action.

Also, 'Humans of New York' is a successful new photography book, and Eleanor Catton sees a jump in book sales after winning the Man Booker Prize.
Here's a look at what's buzzing in the book world today:
'Human' nature: A few short years ago, Brandon Stanton, 29, was wondering if he could support himself by taking photos in the big city. The answer turns out to be a resounding yes as his Humans of New York lands on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list at No. 5, an impressive showing for a photography book. It's a spinoff of Stanton's popular blog (humansofnewyork.com). His publicity has included Nightline and a USA TODAY feature. Next up: Little Humans, his photos of kids, in fall 2014.

Booker bump: Consider America illuminated, and thank the Man Booker. New Zealand-based author Eleanor Catton's hulking 832-page novel The Luminaries is a best seller here, making its debut at No. 39, after winning Britain's highest literary honor. Last week, Catton, 28, became the youngest winner ever of the Man Booker Prize for her second novel, a philosophical murder mystery set during the 19th-century New Zealand gold rush. The Booker influence varies year to year. Last year's winner, Bring Up the Bodiesby Hilary Mantel, was a best seller (at No. 19) before the prize was awarded. But 2011 winner The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes saw a Booker bump, landing at No. 41.

Fifty shades of Jamie: At long last, the second search for the new Christian Grey is over! Jamie Dornan will be playing the titular bad boy billionaire in the upcoming film adaptation of the racy book series. The casting came on the heels of original choice actor Charlie Hunnam dropping out of the project. Dornan is a former Calvin Klein model, and acted in the first season of Once Upon a Time.
Twitter, hipsters, wordbirds: What exactly is an actorvist? Or an apocopic? Ask Liesl Schillinger, a book critic and translator, who coined all of the terms herself in her new book Wordbirds. What began as a Tumblr page with zeitgeist-y, made-up words has been turned into a fun, illustrated book with definitions including "actorvist: a star who uses celebrity as a soapbox for political punditry – for good or ill."
The Death of Santini: Author Pat Conroy confesses in his new memoir that he hated his late father "long before I knew there was a word for hate." The memoir, The Death of Santini, is a frank account of life with his tough Marine pilot dad, who nicknamed himself the Great Santini. In an interview with USA TODAY's Bob Minzesheimer, Conroy speaks bluntly about his brutal father, and the experience of having his earlier book, The Great Santini, getting turned into a film starring Robert Duvall. Plus, find out why he's offering the rights to his new memoir "for free" to Duvall.
Before the movie: The folks over at BuzzSugar have put together a fun list of the books you should read before they arrive at a theater near you. There are obvious picks such as Catching Fire and The Fault in Our Stars, but there's also meatier fare like Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, and Dave Eggers' A Hologram for the King.
The ad thief: When most films are ready to be advertised, trailers are created and billboards are covered. Not The Book Thief. The film, based on the 2006 book of the same name set in Nazi Germany, instead was advertised with two blank pages in The New York Times. The url "wordsarelife.com" appears at the bottom of one of the pages, in tiny print. Typical? No. Successful? Well, this writer was curious enough to check the site out, and chances are, others might be too.
Wild giveaway: Cheryl Strayed's memoir, Wild, is one of 35 books to be given away on annual World Book Night U.S. on April 23. The event is geared to get "good books in the hands of people who are underserved because of income or location," says Carl Lennertz, the program's director. The goal is to give away 500,000 paperbacks next spring.
No thanks, Jezebel: Urban Outfitters, the uber-hipster mega store, has banned the snarky faux encyclopedia The Book of Jezebel from being sold on its shelves. The reason? Jezebel has a history of mocking the store. What with its sarcastic, edgy take on pop culture, the book seemed like a fine fit for UO's audience. Guess Jezebel fans will have to flock somewhere else to get their hands on the feminist bible.

Asked to turn around a franchise buried deep in the second division for a generation, Craig MacTavish looks to make bold steps on his first draft day. Oilers Nation--tired of losing and watching the brilliant youth acclimate to it--awaits the turnaround. Based on yesterday's rumors, this is one of the few days in organization history where "expect the unexpected" doesn't quite cover it.
This is Lake Louise. In my 50+ years on the planet, I have not seen anything more beautiful in nature. I love to walk around the lake, and afterward grab a hot chocolate and a blanket and then watch the world watch Lake Louise. I've met people from Germany, Japan, America, hell you name it folks have come to Lake Louise to see this view. In my view, it's perfect.
Craig MacTavish is about to put his stamp on the Edmonton Oilers, create his ideal, his version of what a winning team should look like when it's complete. Based on his conversations with the fanbase, and based on yesterday's explosive news about Cory Schneider, I think we know a few things:
- MacT is as aggressive as we thought he might be
- MacT is as devoted to keeping the puck out of the net as we thought he might be
- MacT will leave no stone unturned
- MacT will pursue players in their mid-20s to complete the roster
- There a no mid-20s players available in this draft
- The scouting department may have a lot of time on their hands today
- We could see as many as five Oiler trades today
- The Oilers are about to get a makeover
- The only calm scene for Oiler fans today is the photo of Lake Louise
I had planned on giving you a list of possible Oilers at the draft today, but with the top three Oiler picks in play that seems pointless. What we can talk about is MacT's vision of this team, why he believes they've failed in the past and how he plans to get them to the second season as soon as possible.
- BUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS UP THE MIDDLE: In every sport, the mantra 'strength up the middle' holds sway, and for good reason. As good as the Oilers teams of the early 1980s were, they didn't win any Stanley's until the defensive side of the game received more attention, and until Mark Messier moved to center. At the same time, a young blue arrived as established NHLers and the good times began to roll. I think the idea of acquiring Cory Schneider and Braydon Coburn this weekend speaks to this desire, and perhaps we'll see the Oilers tell us Taylor Hall is moving to the middle (and Sam Gagner to the wing) as early as this week.
- EXPERIENCE IS VITAL: Importing Cory Schneider and Coburn is likely just the beginning of a large group of players who will be 25-30 years of age and have 200+ NHL games experience. We can add names like Cal Clutterbuck, Boyd Gordon, Paul Ranger, Viktor Stalberg, Andrew Cogliano, Scott Hartnell, Keith Yandle, Dustin Penner and Tom Gilbert into the mix as well: experienced men who are also young enough to hang around for a few years and help contribute to a brand new thing: winning hockey games.
- A LOT OF SAIL ON: Today, we may be saying goodbye to Shawn Horcoff, an Oiler since 2000 fall; Ales Hemsky, who wasn't much behind him; the 7th, 37th and 56th overall picks, which not so long ago represented ultimate value for the Oilers and the fanbase; and a plethora of other spare parts and assets of varying degree. Today could be one of the truly historic days of player movement in NHL history based on what we've been told--and the Oilers are front and center.
- A PERIOD OF TRANSITION: When you have enormous turnover, there's a time (often an entire season) of adjustment. Expecting a quick turnaround is a bad idea no matter how many imports of value arrive. The new players will have to develop chemistry with the current Oilers deemed good enough to stay, and Oiler fans will have to adjust to their calendar being turned upside down: the biggest day of the year will no longer be draft day. That lesson may be learned in one day--today!
Based on what I've read, Craig MacTavish is so determined to create the current team in his own image that he is willing to overpay, to lose some deals, in an effort to improve areas he believes are badly in need of help. His vision is not our vision necessarily, and that fact is driven home by the Schneider deal (as rumored last night). It is entirely possible we'll walk away from today believing the Oilers got less than 100 cents on the dollar, and it's also possible they'll be a better team as a matter of fact.
I think we have to acknowledge that what we're hearing from New Jersey this weekend is a half bubble off plumb compared to expectations. This happens when a powerful personality enters a situation and goes about the business of improving it. Remember when Jacques Lemaire arrived in Montreal as coach? Guy Lafleur was the established on ice power for the Habs, but Lemaire shuffled the roster and a more defensive strategy was used, effectively ending Lafleur's career in Montreal in about 20 games.
Craig MacTavish is doing some things we may find out of line with our own vision--it appears Devan Dubnyk is not the 'goalie of the future', and Nick Schultz is apparently about to get a teammate who does exactly what he does, and that checking line is going to be far more physical if Clutterbuck comes over from Minnesota.
This draft day will not be similar to the last ones. The impressive first round string that began with Sam Gagner and continued through Jordan Eberle, Magnus Paajarvi, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov is very likely to be broken this afternoon--the Oilers are poised to trade their pick at #7 overall.
The Oilers have a unique draft strategy--acquire actual NHL players this afternoon. Expect the unexpected? More like "make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Also make sure your seat belt is correctly fastened."
And there may be some turbulence.
I'm thinking that Mac T might get his hands tide by Schneider deal. That chip has to fall before the other deals. I could see Edmonton sending Dubnyk to the flyers in the Coburn deal if the aquire Schneider. So my worry is that they spin there tires and loose out on other deals as they try to get a deal done with Van.
and it sounds like Gillis is wheeling and dealing and playing teams against one another so you could be very right.
June 30 2013, 09:04AM
Had a dream last night. MacTavish signed Lecavilier for 8 mill per. Craig, then flipped him moments later for Seguin and Marchand.
Maybe this is why the Oilers are even thinking of getting involved with this whole Schnieder thing. Maybe MacT's simply going to flip him again. Doesn't make sense for the Canucks to trade him within their division.
I am not sure how we can say MacT is aggressive yet when he hasn't actually done anything but fire a head coach, which is like an annual event with the Oilers. Signing belov is not aggressive.
The apparent obsession with goaltending is worrisome when it is the least of the Oilers problems right now. The rumours around the Oilers also seem to focus on players with or are asking for high priced contact, not players on value deals. There are lots of warning signs so far.
We will see how it plays out, but so far what I am getting makes me nervous.
Go get kulikov, Gordon, Goc, MacArthur, Stalberg and Khudobin. Draft Lindholm or Monahan. That would be impressive work.
considering that every media person in the know seems amazed by how hard MacT is pushing for deals, I am getting tired of the "he hasn't done anything yet" and "how can you say he's aggressive" comments. NO ONE has done anything yet. It takes two. When it blows up I am sure there will be plenty of Oilers moves.
He's in the mix, which is better than Tambo already.
I pray you are not toying with us. If anyone can break up the losing culture it is MacT. Fire up the guillotine and pass the Koolaid. I'm ready to enter the choppy waters ahead if even a small part of the teams needs are put in place today.
yay - letang is signed. one domino out of the way.
Ha, I'm at lake louise right now!
June 30 2013, 09:29AM
yay - letang is signed. one domino out of the way.
Amen to that!
Having that much tied up in only 3 players (starting in 2014-2015), has to force their hand with some other areas. James Neal might be available, or perhaps even Brandon Sutter. Rather take a chance on MA Fluery than Schneider.

Agreed...I will take some of that Koolaid. In MacT we beleive. He said it didn't matter what he said, only what he did, today will be the start.
June 30 2013, 09:39AM
Dupuis will become a FA for sure after Letang signing, how would he look on the third line?
Letang signs 8 year, 58 million extension.
Amen to that!

I would expect the price (asset - not salary) would be a lot lower on Fleury. Not too excited about him either, but I agree.
The Pens are gonna have to tighten their belts...

Yes, it seems MacT is in the mix. If we believe TSN rumours, MacT is prepared to pay big for Schneider, just what this roster really needs. No centres, not #1 or #2 D, not complementary players for the core. A goaltender, no less.
I hope the rumour proves to be incorrect. Otherwise we have shock and awe, not bold and smart.
How does the Kool-Aid taste so far?
If everyone is expecting massive deals just today, prepare to be disappointed. I see one or two Oiler trades. Maybe even minor ones. Trades will come, but it will filter out over the summer.
If it were Hall, RNH and Yak's draft years were this year, where would you draft them among the big three this year?
My list would be this:
1) Hall 2) McKinnon 3) Drouin 4) RNH 5) Yakupov 6) Jones (Mainly because of more risk because he's defense)
MacT is in the talk talk talk mode right now and since the past two weeks and so I am not going to agree he has been pushing for deals just yet, but I do think he has been aggressive to talk with all other teams. Yep...when a deal is done then i will say how much he was pushing for the type deal that was then announced...if any is made by the way...
Now...Cory Schneider coming here would likely push Dubnyk out the door but...Schneider did not do anything worthwhile in the first round to make me (if GM of the Oilers) to want to do this type deal. I say keep Dubnyk and seek out another back up rather than sell too much for Schneider.
However, then again schneider may have been just not in the groove this year which can happen to any player. This is a very good debate. But...I can't believe that Gillis would trade this player to anyone in the same new division.
I have just read that Seguin may be available and if so, this is the kid the Oilers should make a big deal for...if he is healthy with a hip issue. The Oilers then can definitely move Gagner in another type package deal and go for a top defenceman.

How does the Kool-Aid taste so far?
All we can hope is that the rumour is false. Getting a goalie solidifies goaltending, so would signing Emery, Bryz, Kuboudin. Schneider is unproven. Walking away from today with a goalie, no 7th overall core piece, or center we will be continue to toil. And to give Vancouver life and hope is the most sickening. I miss Tambo. I hope its all smoke.
prepare to be disappointed and/or bewildered oiler fan
As long as we don't trade for Schneider and we select at seven, Im happy. Just pull a Tambo.
Let the other GMs overpay for so-so to above average players. I agree with those saying we should pull a Tambo and just draft 7th. If you can swing a second Horcoff, do it. Otherwise, I hope I hear crickets at the Oiler table today.
If D. Nurse is available @ #7 use the pick, and please no recycle of Penner and Cogs. If we get a deal for Coburn, it should only require giving up one of the 2nd round picks, not the first.
