This week presents a challenge in the form of a Relay Riddle. What costs nothing, but gives much? What will enrich those who receive, without making the giver poorer? What takes only a moment, but can leave a memory that lasts a lifetime? What brings happiness into a home and good will into business? What can bring cheer to the discouraged and sunshine to the sad? It comes in every size and color; it cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen. It is useless until it is given away.
Retta 'Carlene' Willson of Elmo is a graceful, demure woman. A devoted wife of 46 years, loving mother of five sons and two daughters, and one of the strong, silent survivors among us. Carlene has a deep aversion for September even though she celebrates her birthday in that month. Three consecutive Septembers brought her and her family some very difficult trials - the three D's: death, divorce, and diagnosis. Banding together when buckling under would have been easier, Carlene faced the discovery of breast cancer with the stalwart support of her partner and companion, Stephen, and their daughter, Melanie. Melanie and her children were living with Carlene at the time when a routine mammogram at her annual check-up revealed a "questionable mass." An ultrasound and biopsy in Provo confirmed the suspicion of cancer. Ten days later found her in surgery for a lumpectomy and the harvesting of 30 lymph nodes. Some of the nodes were cancerous. Carlene then agreed to several months of chemotherapy followed by seven weeks of daily radiation. Her thoughts were simple, "I have to come back for the kids" (grandchildren). And come back she did. With grace and determination. Her grandchildren were very upset by her illness. Life as they knew it, changed again. The side effects of her treatments may have taken her energy and her hair but she would still spend precious time with her grandkids reading. One book was such a favorite that a puppy brought in for the children was named Tidalic after one of the characters.
Carlene may enjoy reading so much because she writes so much. She is writing her life story. She has been a voracious journal keeper for more than 40 years. The journals have helped her through the emotional struggles of cancer as well as serving some very practical uses when dates or events have been in question. Sometimes providing comfort when she was lonely or missing her family during the week long stays at her daughter-in-law's childhood home for daily radiation treatments. There was a built-in solace staying with her son's mother-in-law as she, too, was a breast cancer survivor. Carlene's last radiation treatment was just one year ago on May 28, 2009, and her hair is still coming back.
Seeing her now, one doesn't notice hair or no hair, Carlene's outstanding feature has been in place though it all - her dazzling smile. It's one of those slow-to-spread, shy smiles that takes your feet right out from under you. Carlene knew she had a responsibility throughout this battle and she defines it this way, "I have to keep a smile on my face so people would know it's just something you have to deal with." She credits the cancer for compelling her make the time to reset her priorities in life. Among those are keeping a sense of humor and a positive attitude. One example she and Stephen shared was of an "amazing old guy at the chemo lab" who would draw a crowd telling jokes and stories that had the nurses and patients laughing. Carlene's humor is apparent in small things like getting a kick out of "going to bed without any hair" and like magic - "having a whole head of hair in the morning."
Smiling wasn't always easy. Some days Carlene had to be reminded to smile. She feels cancer has been as hard on her family as it has been on her, and some of the lessons in humility have been hard to swallow. But Carlene found the strength to "hold her chin up and keep on pushing" through the many cards and prayers of friends. Friends and angels, angels and friends - when she needed the help, they were there. Unannounced and unexpected, angels lifted Carlene above the despair that sometimes sets in when confronted with a disease like cancer. She tells of one discouraging day in the chemo lab after a treatment waiting for her ride when "a beautiful girl just came up to her and gave her a hug, saying 'you're going to be OK, you're going to get your hair back and be OK.'" Carlene has felt so many angels during this trial; she knows "there isn't enough time or paper to thank everybody who helped."
Carlene and Stephen agree on several lessons they've learned; nobody asks for cancer, it's something you wouldn't even wish on an enemy. If you suspect any kind of cancer - get it checked fast "because six days with cancer is seven days too long. The quicker it's caught, the better the chances of recovery are." Carlene has special reasons to kick the cancer and keep on smiling. Sarah (4), Russell (6), Mina (9), and Tyler (14) and 26 of their cousins scattered as far as Germany, where #27 will be born in August. It's a good thing Carlene and Stephen love to travel and have current passports. Carlene looks around now and marvels at how "bright and beautiful everything is." Cancer has sharpened her focus and brought life into vivid color. Little Sarah, wearing a smile, explained it this way to Carlene, "I got rid of your cancer because I loved it out of you." Cancer didn't stand a chance. So if you encounter someone who is too weak or tired to give you a smile, give them one of yours. It will go miles.
Relay for Life is the best opportunity Emery County has to make a significant impact on the devastating effects of cancer. Your support can be monetary, physical, or emotional. All of these things are crucial to the success of our Relay. Look around at your family, friends, and neighbors who have faced their mortality, see their strength. Reflect on those in your life who made a difference to a loved one while entrenched in the battle. Cherish the memories of the brave souls who were engulfed by the disease. Won't you join us in the fight for a cure? Come be a part of something wonderful. June 11, 2010 at 6 p.m. at the High School track. Bring your smile, your family, and your friends for fun and fellowship.

Rep. Ken Ivory came to the Emery County Public Lands Council to share some of his insight into the question of whether federal lands should be returned to Utah for ownership. HB 148 recently passed by the Utah legislature and signed by Gov. Gary Herbert says just that, give Utah back lands which were promised when Utah became a state.
Rep. Ivory is the bill sponsor. Mike Swenson from USA-All introduced Rep. Ivory to the council. He said HB 148 could be useful to Emery County because 90 percent of Emery County is federal land.
Rep. Ivory said he was born across the hill in Sanpete County and it is his goal to return to an area like this some day. The issues facing Utah are huge he said, he explained that North Dakota and Utah became states about the same time. North Dakota has 3 percent federal lands and Utah has 65 percent. The enabling act said the people in Utah gave up their land until the time these lands should be disposed of by the federal government, which has never happened. Ivory said, "You've heard in the papers, that this will be thrown out of court, but the promises to the states should be the same."
Ivory explained the history of the public lands trust and how land came to be sold to start new states and proceeds from these sales was to be used to pay down the national debt. By 1830, the national debt had been paid down. Any lands that couldn't be sold were to be abandoned to the states. It was in the best interest of the United States to surrender the land to the states.
In North Dakota with 3 percent federal lands they have 20,000 jobs looking for people and are $3,700 above the national average in per pupil spending. Why is this? It's because they have access to their lands and their resources. In Utah in per pupil spending the state is $3,700 below the national average. It would take an additional $2.2 billion per year to get to average. Ivory said some people say raise taxes or do away with the state exemption, but to raise taxes by $2 billion would kill the economy.
In Hawaii, they control their land. In the Utah budget there is $5.2 billion that Utah spends of federal funds annually, what happens when that money goes away with the financial crunch the United States is in at this time?
The super committee for finance reform recommended 9 percent across the board cuts for the federal government. They said reform entitlements and cut spending and increase revenue or the whole thing could collapse.
"In our state we have trillions of dollars worth of natural resources. Arguments are that you people in Utah would rape and pillage the land. The federal government is an absent landlord," said Ivory.
Ivory said the bill takes Utah's 33 wilderness areas off the table for possible Utah management as well as the National Parks and monuments within the state, but would recommend Utah take back the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Ivory said he understands tourism and its importance in the Utah economy.
The bill uses the time frame of Dec. 31, 2014 for the return of the federal lands to Utah. The bill also creates a public land commission to protect the open space.
One concern public lands council members voiced was if the land is sold off and becomes private, then Utahns could lose their access. Ivory said that would not be the case and the open public lands would carry over the rights of access and the public lands commission would manage to those rights. He said when sale of lands is mentioned, it's mainly for around towns where the individual town or city wants to grow and it is surrounded by public lands, then maybe some of these public lands can be sold so that town can expand.
Swenson said the whole process is exciting and scary at the same time. He believes Utah should take what belongs to it as the right of being a state. SITLA lands would remain the same, but work could take place to consolidate those lands for the good of the Utah school children. Leasing revenues for gas and oil production would 100 percent come into Utah instead of the federal government taking the royalties and paying a percentage back to the state where the mineral was extracted. "It's not just about the revenues, we want to protect the health of the public lands," said Swenson.

Commissioner Ira Hatch said they have contacted Diebold Elections systems to recertify the election equipment. They have talked about and worked on a contract which has been approved. The contract will run from April 12 until the completion of the job. The county will pay $1,260 per day per technician. County people will also be allowed to help if the need arises. "When we can get the technicians lined up they will be in the county to accomplish that work. The fees are the county's responsibility to pay Diebold and we are asking for state help from HAVA funds," said Commissioner Hatch. A motion was made to ratify the contract to recertify the voting machines.
Personnel issues were moved to the top of the meeting to facilitate, personnel director Mary Huntington so she could attend meetings in Provo. A one step increase was authorized for Nicole Deabenderfer at the sheriff's office and an increase for Kurt Price who will graduate from the Fred House Academy for corrections on May 11.
The May tax sale was set for May 25 at 10 a.m. Properties being listed for sale can still be cleared up until the day of the sale.
Mike McCandless reported the low power radio station to relay information on the scenic byway is just about ready and they are seeking a location for the transmitter. The old water tanks location above Huntington already has a tower in place which will be replaced soon. McCandless requested the county accept the easement for the placement of the buried phone and power lines. Commissioner Hatch wondered why Huntington City didn't accept the easement as they are the ones who own the property and would be the entity which would grant the easement to the regional travel bureau. The travel and scenic byways organizations would pay for the power and any expenses.
County Attorney David Blackwell said he could draw up the easement if that would help out. Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the new tower is going up later this year at that location because the old tower isn't safe to climb.
Commissioner Sitterud said that Blaine Evans an architect has been secured to do the drawings of the swimming pool. No expenditures will be outlaid and if the pool initiative passes then expenses will be taken care of at that time with the securing of CIB funds.
The pool is Olympic sized with diving on one end and a small children's pool with pop-up fountains on one end. Commissioner Sitterud said they will meet with the school district to finalize the school and county obligations involved with the pool.
The commission approved a tax abatement for half of a citizen's taxes.
Lance Wright from Four Corners Behavioral Health requested a donation from the commissioners to send two Four Corners personnel to the University of Utah for drug and alcohol abuse training. The donation was approved.
Shonie Christensen and Tom Anderson introduced the commission to a new FM station called KRPX. They requested to have the station put on the county's translator. The station hopes to make Emery County a big part of the new station and broadcasting Emery County news and events. The station will cater to women and feature top 40 and light rock and be office friendly. They also plan to do a morning show.
Commissioner Hatch referred them to Bret Mills the county's technical man. The call letters are KRPX and the station will be found at 95.3 FM.
The opening of bids for a county land sale was next. Nielson Construction owns property to the south and east of the land fill and they requested to purchase land to be used as a road to their property. Commissioner Hatch explained that Nielson's wants to change their storage options and they have been doing a lot of work for the coal bed methane wells and any refuse from those projects must be taken to an approved site in the Duchesne area which is a big expense. Nielson Construction is going through the process to be granted permission to store this byproduct on their property. They need a new roadway and a weigh station to be compliant.
Bids were let out for the 3.4 acres and advertising completed, one bid came in for the property and the minimum bid was $686 and Nielson Construction bid $701. Commissioner Gary Kofford made a motion to award the bid for the land to Nielson Construction.
Ryan Bjerke representing the Chapman law firm explained to the commission the bonds issued in 1994 for PacifiCorp for pollution control. PacifiCorp is looking for some flexibility with the bonds. Attorney Blackwell said it won't cost any money but with a trust indenture, a clause requires the county be notified and grant permission for any adjustments in negotiations for the trust indenture loan agreement. PacifiCorp would like to make minor changes to the bond and give the bank and PacifiCorp some flexibility without forcing the bond holders to tender their bonds.
Some investors who buy bonds just want to hold onto them. The increased flexibility will let the bond holders hold onto them.
Commissioner Sitterud said the CIB was recently in the county and met with Elmo Town, they are renegotiating the size of the fire station, city hall and senior center and the building has been downsized. The costs of the road projects have been very high and a supplemental grant is being requested to cover costs. For the Emery Town building the CIB said they can help with the inside of the building. The CIB will also be approached for emergency funds to do flood repair at the Millsite Golf Course.
Commissioner Kofford said he and Ray Petersen have put together a letter to be presented at the Old Spanish Trail scoping meeting stating the county's position.
The commission also met with Maughn Guymon on the new senior center in Green River. The architect is working on the drawings and the building will cost approximately $2.32 per square foot and total $1.1 million.
Commissioner Hatch said, "It will be a great addition to Green River and we will move ahead and get it accomplished."
Commissioner Hatch said that Wade Nielson will attend the road school in St. George for the county.
Commissioner Hatch said he attended a planning meeting with UDOT. The county will put in a plea for funds for another section of the Temple Mtn. road to Goblin Valley in 2008-09.

We made the most incredible dinner last week, and two of the three recipes we used were first-timers. I found this pork recipe online and tweaked it after reading several reviews. A couple of people stressed that the chops had to be thin, about 1⁄4-inch thick, and cooked exactly three minutes on each side.
I lucked out at the grocery store and found a pack of eight thin pork loin chops that weighed in at 11⁄4 pounds, or about 21⁄2 ounces each. They didn't even have to be pounded down and once my husband, Charlie, trimmed the visible fat from them, they were ready to go.
These chops were so tasty and tender, we didn't even need knives to cut them. I served them with orzo that was cooked in water and chicken broth and topped with fresh Parmesan and torn basil and sweet-and-sour green beans.
The flavors were all so good together, and Charlie and I and son Patrick all made happy plates. There were enough leftovers for only one, and they went to Charlie for the next day's lunch because I was celebrating a milestone birthday with my co-workers.
It's great to be 50!
Parmesan Sage-Crusted Chops
3/4 cup panko Japanese bread crumbs
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large egg whites
8 boneless thin-cut pork loin chops (2 to 3 ounces each)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Combine panko, cheese, sage, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow dish. Combine mustards and egg whites in another shallow dish and beat with a whisk.
Working with one chop at a time, dredge pork in flour, shaking off excess. Dip pork into egg white mixture, allowing excess to drop off. Coat pork completely with panko mixture. Repeat process with remaining chops.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add 4 pork chops and cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned and done. Repeat process with remaining oil and chops.
Serves 4.

|In response to Re: Septic smell in house
: We moved into a 27 year old house and imediately replaced the old electric heat pump with a super hi efficiency gas furnace/ ac. We are on a septic tank system, too.
: When ever we put over 20 gallons of water into the septic system, (wash clothes, showers, baths, etc.) and run the furnace / AC, we get a horrible septic smell in the house. We have tried dozens of things to solve this problem, including 4 septic tank cleanings in 7 years!!! Could our system have "vents" in the walls that the high efficiency furnace draws into the house heating ducts??? We are desparate!!!

Kevin Cheveldayoff, RFAs, and Arbitration
Kevin McCartney
September 28 2013 03:49AM
Cam Charron wrote a very thoughtful article yesterday about the role the shrinking cap played in giving RFAs with arbitration rights more leverage than usual this past off-season. He talks about how Nonis did well with Franson and Kadri (who could not / did not file for arbitration), while doing poorly in a relative sense with Bernier, Fraser, and Gunnarsson. Had those players been awarded inflated 1-year deals, Charron reasons, the team cap structure would have been even worse off, and Nonis knew that.
It made me reflect on the situation between the Jets and the Arbitration 5 this off-season. Were Cheveldayoff's hands tied by a coming cap crunch? Was he doing his GM'ly duties on a level this blogger failed to even comprehend? But also - what are Cheveldayoff's patterns, and what can we learn from them?
In fairness to Cam - his thoughtful article was also an exercise in self-reflection toward understanding our own limitations as analysts and writers. I won't do that part of his article justice in the words to follow.
It was the Summer of 2013...
I've written a lot about the various sides of the Summer of Chevy. I wrote that I expected the Big 3 (Wheeler, Little, Bogosian) to come in at close to $15M, and for Postma and Tangradi to add another $1.5M. Today we can say the Big 3 bundle price was $15.442M, and the Little Dippers a total of $1.387M. But I was also critical of that number, noting that every deal was full-value and, as a result, none of the five have very much chance of out-performing their deals. I called it a high-risk, low-reward summer.
Charron's article gave me a moment of pause as I considered the possibility that Cheveldayoff was simply more constrained than I had considered. After all, he got a two-year extension before his contract was even up, and players on the team sung his praises.
I had some immediate, subjective thoughts on the matter (as well as a bit of acid reflux), so I decided to look at Cheveldayoff's record with RFA's more holistically.
Restricted Free Agent Signings
I had to do most of this research the old-fashioned way (well, like, 2007 old fashioned - file cabinets were still hilariously obsolete), so if I've made a mistake on any of these contracts or contracting rights, let me know in the comments.
It's important to remember that players with arbitration rights genuinely have more leverage in negotiations and, as that right is earned through years of service, salaries can reasonably be expected to be larger. In looking at this, I hoped to find a pattern, but what are most evident are the lack of homegrown talent and the reason Cheveldayoff is so liked by his players.
How Cheveldayoff Deals with RFA's With Arbitration Rights
It's obvious that Chevy prefers to avoid arbitration. It's obvious because he throws money at anyone who has the right to it. There are hits and misses among the deals, but arbitration rights clearly inflates the value of his contracts, including adding dollars to the AHL side of two-way contracts for the same players year-over-year. It's hard to imagine that Ben Maxwell's 2011 season (25 pts in 43 games, and a 4th worst -7 on +24 team) earned him a raise, and yet... As well, Machacek doubled his AHL money, Kulda got a one-way deal, and now both have been flushed from the organization. Even Brett Festerling got a raise after a year in which he scored 16 points and went -14 for four different teams over the course of just 54 games.
On the good side of the ledger, no one can complain about Andrew Ladd's contract, which has both proven to be a value deal for the team and bought four of his unrestricted years. On the other hand, Pavelec used not only his arbitration rights but also a rumoured deal in the KHL to convince Cheveldayoff to give him the worst contract currently on the books (didn't anyone tell Pav there are no taxes in Russia?! So close...).
We can safely say that Cheveldayoff is not playing hardball with RFAs who have the right to file for arbitration.
The key to Charron's analysis, though, is the realization that Nonis extracts value from RFAs without arbitration rights extremely well. How does Cheveldayoff do in that department?
How Cheveldayoff Deals with RFA's Without Arbitration Rights
There is a smaller group of these contracts to consider, and really only three major ones. In one case, he gave a bridge deal to a struggling high-round pick who had been rushed into the NHL and suffered a slew of injuries during his ELC. In a second, he locked up what might be the franchise's best player for a fairly reasonable contract given his pedigree and 30 goal 2011/12 season. Still, it came just days before the 2012 lockout was to begin and buys zero UFA years. In essence, it's another full-value deal for Kane. The final major RFA signing of this type is, of course, a non-signing. The team was rumoured to have played brief hardball with the young Russian while also trying to find a reasonable trade option. Gary Lawless wrote the jinxing words. "[W]ith no arbitration rights Burmistrov has little leverage other than hoping for an offer sheet from another NHL club or departing for the KHL."
The outcomes are not especially inspiring, but we can give Cheveldayoff credit for squeezing this group a little harder, as the CBA is designed to let managers do.

What We Learned
I think the real take away is actually a powerful addition to Charron's analysis of Nonis. Yes, Nonis squeezed enough value out of Franson and Kadri to keep Kulemin (and other roster players) on the team. But Cheveldayoff also squeezed this group (less out of necessity, given the team's internal budget) and we have the value of hindsight to see how that has turned out a couple years down the road.
By giving Bogosian a bridge contract, the team is now paying full value for his services for the next several years, over which time cap concerns will become more of a concern than they were when the bridge contract was inked. In that way, the team is actually worse off to have structured the deals this way, though it's hard to blame the GM for not knowing whether Bogosian would work out (it's still a work in progress to some extent). Kadri's offence has been shown to be percentage driven to some extent last year, but should he manage to score well over the life of his bridge deal, he will command an incredible salary (just as Bogosian did). Not an unfair salary, mind you. Just a large one on a team with a few large deals for less than super-star players.
Burmistrov was a worst case scenario, but Franson (even if meekly and transparently) threatened Europe during negotiations as well, and could hammer the team in arbitration next season if he continues to perform well. In that way, a one year, low-dollars deal keeps the team together this year but that squeeze tactic remains a question mark for the future.
Finally, Kane offers the opposite approach. What seemed like a tumultuous relationship before the contract - with rumours of everything from not tipping at restaurants to being hard to coach to being black following him around - has been soothed somehow. Kane was even at the Rookie Development camp, helping the coaches and supporting the players. He's a cornerstone player and even his media struggles have disappeared since the franchise player signed the franchise contract. Anyone who wants Kadri to be a Leaf long-term should be excited about that alone.
I would never pretend that giving $30M to players to make the media be nicer is a sound management strategy. All I mean to say is that Cheveldayoff is giving Nonis a glimpse into the future. Squeezing your RFAs who don't have arbitration rights to pay the ones who do has consequences beyond a single season, and perhaps even beyond cap management. We may be revisiting this summer as the catalyst to a much longer disintegration.
Nice article, Kevin, and a pretty good analysis of Chevy's performance to date. It's good to note that he's learning to be an NHL GM, just as his players are learning to be players.
I've been thinking about the Burmistrov situation, and I kinda think that it's actually going to work out to Winnipeg's advantage, which would make it a "win" for Chevy in the asset-management department.
First, player development. I think everyone but the player in question admits that he's not ready for top-line minutes yet. The question is would he be served better by playing top minutes in a less-competitive league, or by playing #3C minutes in the Bigs. I think that it will serve him well to have more minutes against quality opponents, and the KHL will give him that.
Secondly, asset management. The Jets had qualified him, so he remains their asset, even though he plays in Europe. This is different than the Kovalchuk situation; Kovy 'retired' from the NHL to play in the K; if he stays 4 years, he's an UFA. Burmistrov, meanwhile, will remain a Jets asset. Also, it's worth observing that it's a 2-year contract; which can be read that he still intends to come back, and sooner rather than later.
So, the short version is that the Jets still own Burmistrov as an asset, that he will continue to develop as a player while someone else plays his salary, and that he is (possibly) looking to return to the NHL in the short term, rather than the long term. After two seasons with top-line numbers, Burmistrov will either be willing to return to the Jets, with a higher level of responsibility, or he will be a more valuable asset in trade talks.
While it may not be an optimal situation, it's not a loss--so long as Chevy keeps the lines of communication open with Burmistrov & his agent.

|In response to Re: Trap type and diameter for clothes washer...
: : Folks:
: Get a plumber. A "P" trap and an "S" trap, if you really have one, have the same "lift" dimension. The difference between the two is how the pipe after the "bend" is arranged. Your description is very convoluted and appears to be making a simple task into a major project.
HJ do you have any idea about plumbing or make this stuff up as you go along?
Most codes require a 2" trap "P" and 2" stand pipe for a washing machine and HJ please explain what a "bend " is as the parts on a trap inlet, outlet, crown weir, DIP, clean out.
I Wonder where you got the techinical training that you think an S trap is legal in most model codes as an S trap is self syphioning thus not approved
Hey HJ why not tell the folks the ways a TRAP can lose its seal or Ask Debbie or Terry or Sylvan or any other real plumber.
You sir are a handyman with your plumbing advice

Health Advice For Living Abroad With Children
Getting sick is never fun, but it is something that everyone will at some point experience in their life. Whether it's a simple cold or a serious ailment, illness can leave us feeling miserable and sometimes even a little helpless. During our under-the-weather experiences, it's always great to see a familiar face and hear friendly voices, but when we're outside and away from our family circles, we often feel a little alone while living abroad with children.
Even our family may feel a little helpless since they cannot be there for you when illness strikes. When you're work abroad with children and at a distance from your family and familiar friends, coping with sickness is basically left up to you. Maintaining your health, getting medical advice and assistance, and having to support yourself all on your own can be difficult, but the truth is that you don't have to do it all on your own. And though your family may reside in a completely different country or continent, they can still be there for you when you need them the most to handle living abroad with children.
Helping keep things on track
When illness becomes serious, and it often strikes when we least expect it, it is always a good idea to enable your family to take care of any necessary processes that still need to be maintained when you can't take care of them. In these situations, your family can take steps that will ensure that you and your life abroad are in good hands.
Provide your family the contacts you have, such as work, school, and friend circles so that they can assist you by handling bills and information for a care network. In many emergency situations, it is a good idea that such entities as work and school are quickly notified.
Despite their distance, you may depend on family abroad to arrange for transportation, grocery shopping, and other daily provisions. In serious illness situations, these care-essentials will make a large difference in your quality of life and enable a speedy recovery. Such simple tasks that a completely healthy person may take for granted can become an incredible hassle when we're feeling under the weather, and it's a great opportunity for your family to help even when they're far away from your work abroad with children.
A different kind of help
Sick and yet so far away from family, keep in mind that they can't really help you physically, but they can still be there where it really counts. They can be there in heart and provide advice and social support. This is one of the biggest concerns of anybody suffering from an ailment. The feeling of being alone and having to face not only the day's regular challenges but also coping with sickness can leave an individual feeling a little depressed and helpless.
Because physical distances can become a barrier between individuals and their family, you can utilize an International service that's not like typical prepaid calling cards keep your family close, even when they're far away while living abroad with children. An economically sound method, prepaid calling services help your family stay in touch and provide the support needed when you're confronted with illness.
A renowned saying, laughter is the best medicine, is very true. People that smile more and have a happier experience tend to recover at a quicker rate because they have the will and determination to recover. For these reasons, it is a very practical idea to discuss and chat regularly and keep a firm schedule to do so. Your family chat experiences will give you something to look forward to and enjoy. You won't feel alone and it will take away feelings of helplessness that are often associated with sickness.
Just knowing that they are there for you will make a huge difference in your recovery. Keep in mind that it also helps them to know that they are helping you through your recovery as well. Despite their distance, communication services provide one of the best tools by which we can stay in touch with our family circles and keep the important people in our lives a little closer to the heart.
Even when you're in a new country surrounded by new people and places, you can still count on the familiarity of your family and friends to be there when you need them most. Even when illness strikes and you're feeling a little helpless, the ability to communicate across long distances will provide you with the social support you truly need to recover as quickly as possible to work abroad with children

The Emery County Community Theater presented Roger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella on Feb. 8-12.
Cinderella was played by Holly Damron. She is a sweet and lovely young maiden who lives with her wicked stepmother played by Linda Daley and her two stepsisters were played by Tanie Worthen and Loyette Holdaway. They simply dominated Cinderella and forced her to do all the chores around the house and garden, plus wait on them hand and foot.
Jordan Sanders played the handsome and charming young prince his parents, the king and queen were played by Val Jenkins and Tricia Erickson. They want him to choose a young girl from the kingdom to marry, so the queen decides to have a ball and invite all young eligible females to attend. The prince, of course, is not very excited about the idea.
Cinderella is told by her stepmother that she will not be allowed to go with them to the ball. Cinderella's dreams of going to the ball become a reality with the help of her Fairy Godmother played by Dolly Stephens.
Cinderella attends the ball where she sweeps the prince off his feet with her beauty and charm. At the magical hour of midnight Cinderella must leave the ball or revert back to her rags and her coach will turn back into a pumpkin. She leaves behind that magical small slipper and the prince searches high and low for the girl who will fit into the dainty slipper.
Of course the wicked step-sisters are most shocked when the slipper belongs to none other than Cinderella.
Cinderella escapes her life of dread and work to marry the prince and live happily ever after.
The Emery County Theatre has again brought world class entertainment to the stage at Emery High and the talented county residents participating have shown their many skills and talents with the production of Cinderella. The play was directed by Karen Truman.

The Kingsford® $40K Challenge
The $40k Insider
From the Bucket List to BBQ champion
May 19, 2011
It's safe to say that Harry Soo of Slap Yo Daddy BBQ can cross at least one item off of his bucket list.
After watching the movie "The Bucket List" in 2008, Harry and his co-workers decided to make their own bucket lists. Among the items on Harry's list were two stretch goals … to compete in a barbeque contest and attend a comedy class and do a stand-up act.
An avid griller and BBQ'r, Harry actually began cooking at charity events in 2005 when his co-worker Janice asked him to help raise funds for the African American Association. It was a success; his several dozen co-workers declared that his brisket was "the best BBQ I've eaten." They also suggested that Harry enter his BBQ in a contest.
In March of 2008, Harry took the first step to achieving his goal of entering a barbeque contest when he joined the California BBQ Association, and later, the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
His team was complete when his childhood friend, Mark, joined the fun. They dubbed themselves Slap Yo Daddy BBQ, because as Janice said, their barbeque was so good "it makes you want to slap someone."
And apparently, the judges agreed … in their very first contest, Mark and Harry took home Reserve Grand Champion and first place in chicken.
These days, Harry and Mark are more likely to be slapping high-fives than their "daddy's" as they continue to make a name for themselves on the barbeque trail. Most recently, they took top honors at the Morgan Hill No Bull BBQ Cookoff in Morgan Hill, Calif. in addition to the Kingsford Points Chase win.
Harry still enjoys firing up the grill for non-BBQ items such as his seared Ahi tuna with Maui Onion Dressing. Click here for the recipe.
He's also a fan of raw fish. In fact, he served Johnny Trigg his very first helping of raw fish (seared Ahi tuna sashimi) on TLC's BBQ Pitmasters.
Harry's next goal is to make it to the 2011 Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn.Although the second item on his bucket list was later replaced by his being a back-up dancer for Janice during a company talent show, Harry's right on target for fulfilling his bucket list.

Sliding Sven Baertschi's ELC
Kent Wilson
August 30 2012 11:46AM
With the possibility of Sven Baertschi spending a season in the AHL in lieu of a locked-out NHL season, there's been lots of questions popping up about his pro eligibility and the possibility of his entry level contract (ELC) "sliding" (meaning, the team doesn't burn the first year of his 3 year contract if he plays in the minors). Both seem to be relatively simple questions, but the truth is only one of them is easily answered.
In the first - yes, Sven is eligible to play in the AHL this year. Any CHL player whose rights are owned by an NHL team is available to play in the American Hockey League if he turns 20 by December 31st of that season. Sven's 20th birthday is October 5th, so he's good to go.
In fact, Baertschi hasn't reported to the Portland Winterhawks training camp, so the kid obviously intends to go pro this year, one way or the other.
The question of his ELC and whether it will slide this year is infinitely more complicated. The language surrounding the rules in the CBA is choked with legalese and reference to sub-sub-clauses, making it incredibly difficult to clarify the situation. Here's a taste:
In the event that an 18 year old or 19 year old Player signs an SPC with a Club but does not play at least ten (10) NHL Games in the first season under that SPC, the term of his SPC and his number of years in the Entry Level System shall be extended for a period of one (1) year, except that this automatic extension will not apply to a Player who is 19 according to Section 9.2 by virtue of turning 20 between September 16 and December 31 in the year in which he first signs an SPC. Unless a Player and Club expressly agree to the contrary, in the event a Player's SPC is extended an additional year in accordance with this subsection, all terms of the SPC, with the exception of Signing Bonuses, but including...
No wonder everyone hates lawyers.
Here's the relevant bit for Baertschi:
In the event that a Player signs his first SPC at age 18 and has had his SPC extended pursuant to Subsection (i), and such Player does not play at least ten (10) NHL Games in the second season under that SPC, then the term of his SPC and his number of years in the Entry Level System shall be extended for one (1) additional year. Unless a Player and Club expressly agree to the contrary, in the event a Player's SPC is extended an additional year in accordance with this Subsection, all terms of the SPC, with the exception of Signing Bonuses, but including Paragraph 1 Salary blah blah blah
So that seems to suggest Baertschi's contract would slide given the reference to 10 NHL games and the fact he signed his ELC as an 18-year old in 2012, even though he still qualifies to play in the AHL as a 20-year old. The reference here is ONLY to 10 NHL games played, which certainly suggests Sven could see his ELC slide if he spends the season in the minors. According to some educated folks on twitter, Tomas Tatar has had his ELC slide twice for Detroit and he has a similar birthday to Sven's.
In addition, in response to the previous lock-out the current CBA included a bit of an out-clause for players/teams with existing ELC's:
For purposes of determining "slides" for the 2004-05 cancelled season, the following rules shall apply: (1) All Entry Level SPCs that "slid" in 2003-04, will be deemed to have "slid" for 2004-05; (2) All Entry Level SPCs that did not "slide" in 2003-04, will be deemed not to have "slid" in 2004-05; and (3) All Entry Level SPCs entered into prior to the expiration of the Expired CBA, with a term scheduled to commence with the 2004-05 season, will be deemed to have "slid" for 2004-05.
If the NHL adds a similar addendum to the upcoming CBA, then it's possible Sven's ELC will indeed slide, regardless if the current slide rules indeed apply to him (or if they are amended in some way in the next agreement).
Of course, all of this is assuming the year is completely wiped out by a lock-out and Baertschi spends the whole season on the farm. It's much more likely the two groups figure things out at some point this summer and the kid plays 40+ games as a Flame anyways, rendering this all moot.
Other Stuff
- Hilariously, the NHL released it's national TV schedule today. No word on whether the txt words "lol"or "j/k" were included at the bottom of the press release.
- Scott Reynolds has been writing about "clear victories" recently, a stat that tracks games won by 2 or more goals (since one goal wins are muc more luck dependent). The Flames "clear victory" ratio last year was just .382, third worst in the Western Conference (ahead of only Minnesota and Columbus) and 5th worst in the entire NHL (only Tampa Bay and the Islanders were worse in the East).
This is, of course, another indictment of the team and an indication that they are in tough to compete this year. That said, it can be looked at from another angle - it's remarkable that the Flames managed to compete for a playoff spot at all last season. They suffered through a host of injuries, their top-end is doddering, they frequently got outshot and their goalie, who was 35 at the time, kept them in a lot of games.
For a long time, the Flames have been derided by some as a club with leadership and heart problems - a collection of underachievers who apparently "dont want it enough" to win. However, one could argue that the Flames actually played over their heads to get to 9th in the West last season and that is evidence that the team actually does have heart/leaderhsip/determination/etc...
I'm assuming that Baertschi's five games last year wouldn't count towards the 10-game limit.
I'm assuming that Baertschi's five games last year wouldn't count towards the 10-game limit.
The number resets each year.
Pietrangelo played 8 NHL games in 08/9, back to junior and his contract slid. He played 9 NHL games in 09/10, back to junior and his contract slid again.
August 30 2012, 12:54PM
1:35 is the best part, but they do a pretty good job at the end. "jay boumees-turnover" is amusing. thought i'd share.
Man, I hate legalese. Basically, and hopefully, it looks like Baertschi's age on September 15 is what matters. Since he's 19, it seems he needs 10 NHL games to burn a year. If he were 20, then ten pro games would burn a year.
That said, I think this is merely an intellectual exercise, as there is nothing at all that suggests the NHL will go dark for a full season, so we can pretty much guarantee that Baertschi will get 10 NHL games in anyway.
I have a much better idea in case of an NHL lockout send him back to Portland. We know what he can do and really didn't need to see him at training camp.
August 30 2012, 08:29PM
no way kids done everything in junior no need for him to stagnate he's ready for the heat
August 31 2012, 12:54AM
If there is no season in the NHL! then absolutely Sven should be in Abby.
There is no point letting him go back to Portland when he will fare just fine in the AHL. I would have to imagine if he was given the choice, it wouldn't take him long to answer. He knows he's ready as does the Flames management.
I think if he goes back to Portland he cannot be called up again. He spends the entire season in the CHL unless there is an emergency injury callup like last season. I don't think the NHL will lose an entire season, too much to lose for both sides. Much the same reason Yakupov is refusing to go back to Sarnia if there is a lockout; when the NHL comes back he'd be stuck there based on the agreement between the NHL and CHL.
@ Everyone I realize he is not coming back to Portland for any reason but hey I can dream cant I?

Hope Solo's aunt disputes claims that the U.S. soccer star was fighting with her fiance on the day of their wedding and says her niece was never hit in an altercation that brought police to an early-morning house party in Kirkland, Wash.
"Hope was never hit. That's all a false rumor," Kathleen Shaw, who is the sister of Solo's mother, told the Oregonian. "And they weren't fighting over where they were going to live. Another false rumor."
Former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens was arrested on fourth-degree domestic assault early Monday morning. A judge found no probable cause to keep Stevens and released him Tuesday.
Stevens, who has a history of run-ins with the law, told police he and Solo had been fighting about whether they would live in Florida or Washington after their marriage.
The couple, who told police they had been dating two months, were married later Tuesday on a farm north of Seattle, Shaw told the Oregonian.
"It was three hours late while Hope got Jerramy, they rushed and got their stuff and eluded the paparazzi," Shaw said.
Shaw said she met Stevens for the first time at the wedding and said he seems "nice, very polite, sweet and friendly and open, and he sings like a dream."

Immediately Dangerous To Life or Health (IDLH) Values
May 1994
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLH)
This publication documents the criteria and information sources that have been used by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to determine immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) values. IDLH values were originally determined for 387 substances in the mid-1970's as part of the Standards Completion Program (SCP), a joint project by NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), for use in assigning respiratory protection equipment. NIOSH is currently evaluating the scientific adequacy of the criteria and procedures used during the SCP for establishing IDLH values. In the interim, the IDLH values have been reviewed and, (if appropriate) revised. In this document, IDLH values are listed with the basis and references for the current values as well as with the original IDLH values and their documentation (as paraphrased from the SCP draft technical standards).
Special appreciation is extended to the following individuals from the Division of Standards Development and Technology Transfer: Crystal L. Ellison for locating the references and verifying the information used during the Standards Completion Program to determine the original IDLH values; Rosmarie T. Hagedorn, Marsha A. Striley, and B. JoAnne Hamons for typing the numerous drafts of this document; Vanessa L. Becks for assistance in page design; and Laurence D. Reed, Ralph D. Zumwalde, Robert W. Mason, and G. Kent Hatfield for their technical reviews and comments.
Mention of the name of any company or product does not constitute endorsement by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

State candidate sent campaign email from schools account
Submitted: 02/25/2017
- State superintendent candidate Lowell Holtz sent a campaign-focused email detailing his support among Republicans using his Whitnall Public School email address during a school day.
The email sent in May appears to be in violation of the state law prohibiting the use of government resources for campaign work.
The email was provided to The Associated Press by the liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now which received it through an open records request.
Holtz did not respond to a request for comment.
Former chief state elections administrator Kevin Kennedy says the email does break the law, but it's not likely to rise to the level of something warranting prosecution. Kennedy says it shows more of a lack of judgment than criminal act.

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

The 'America's Got Talent' favorite launches her U.S. tour Tuesday.
Outside the box: Electronic. Rock 'n' roll. High-energy. Fist-pumping. These are probably not the first things that come to mind when someone mentions a violin concert. "It's not what most people expect ... when they buy tickets for a violinist," says Lindsey Stirling of her live show. The 26-year-old hip-hop violinist — a label coined during her appearance on the fifth season of America's Got Talent — recently wrapped up a European tour and is taking her show across North America on a two-month trek, which kicks off Tuesday in Pawtucket, R.I.
But if her live show is any indication, it's hard to put a definitive label on Stirling, whose sound crosses over the electronic, hip-hop and pop genres — even dipping into video-game music. "You're the best person when you're yourself," Stirling says. "The kind of music I play exemplifies that idea of, you don't have to fit into any sort of box in order to be accepted."
The start of something good: Growing up in Gilbert, Ariz., Stirling was 6 years old when she started begging her parents for violin lessons. "I was the kind of kid who would play with a toy for five minutes and then be like, 'OK, I'm bored with that! I'm done.' " Inspired by the classical music her parents would play in the house, Stirling says violin was the first thing that ever stuck. "I've played almost every day since then." And while she dabbled in the flute, she eventually decided to stick with just one instrument during the school day. "My freshman year, I was an orc dork and a band nerd," she says, laughing. "Then I realized it was social suicide to be carrying the violin and the flute to school."
Love the wub-wub-wub: Stirling, who went to school at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, fell in love with electronic music, but at first she "didn't know there was a huge electronic scene anywhere in the world," let alone in Provo. She started writing some music with Marko G, the only producer she could find in the area who could work with electronic beats. The two created backbeats over which Stirling would then write violin lines, "starting with an idea and watching that idea come to life." Since then, Stirling has made violin-infused dubstep a hallmark of her work. Her self-titled album, released in September, is the No. 1 electronic album on iTunes and No. 51 on iTunes' albums chart.
A chilling experience: Crystallize, Stirling's biggest hit on her popular YouTube channel, which has garnered more than 223 million views, features sweeping shots of the violinist gracefully dancing while playing her instrument in the midst of an ethereal ice castle sculpture in Silverthorne, Colo. But while making the video, which has in excess of 45 million views itself, things weren't quite so smooth.
"It was freezing, absolutely freezing there," Stirling says. "You could tell in the video — my nose is red and my fingers are numb. The funny thing was that it is a tourist attraction, so as I was filming there, there were lots of people walking around." They would wait until there wasn't a crowd and filmed for a few minutes until more people inevitably showed up. "It was also slightly embarrassing because it was so cold that I couldn't play well. My fingers just hurt. And all these people are like, 'Who the heck is this random girl, playing terribly, in this ice castle?' " she says with a laugh.
On the 'Tube: Stirling depends on social media to stay in touch with her fan base, frequently posting video updates and behind-the-scenes snippets. Her YouTube subscribers are the "blood that feed the whole system and keep it running. They're really important to me," she says. Stirling recognizes that going viral on YouTube — Crystallize was its eighth most-watched video of 2012 — has been crucial to her accomplishments thus far. "I'm proud of the fact that I'm a YouTuber, and that's how I found my success. I feel a lot of loyalty to those YouTube subscribers who support me because they're the ones that made it all work and made my dreams come true."
Gaming girl: Because of her covers of video-game music, including songs from Skyrim, The Legend of Zelda and Assassin's Creed, with videos to match, Stirling has found herself with a large following of gamers. "Gaming fans are super-loyal, and so I feel very lucky that they've latched on to what I do." And while her busy schedule usually keeps her from spending too much time with a controller and a console, she says in the future that she'd like to compose original music for video games. "It's seriously epic stuff."

Pros: Cheap, decent sound for cheap
Cons: Noise canceling a joke, hissing when NC on
OK I have not had these only a few days. But my first impressions are cheap, OK sound quality, worthless noise reduction and about what to expect for $40.00 headphones.
I like the sound, its not breathtaking by any stretch but its OK for a laptop or iPod. The construction is nice for travel. The ability to fold them up is nice. But the plastic does not impress me as being something that will last getting tossed around.
The noise reduction is a joke, when I first turned them on I instantly heard a hissing sound. Very faint but pronounced with no content playing. I tried several different types of music and was happy with the sound but as for reducing background noise. I could not tell any difference with the reduction on or off. Actually the design of the headphones reduces noise passively very well. I also felt the headphones were a bit on the quiet side having to raise volumes to max on my laptop. Could be just a miss match with my laptop.
I am not disappointed but not thrilled with these, Maybe noise reduction is better with low frequency noise like on a train or airplane. Sony has a disclaimer on that. Saying higher frequency noise like talking will not be affected as much. If your really into noise reduction my advice is look elsewhere. If you need a step up for portable music player. Then I recommend them.

I'll take your word for it! I'll check my e-mails!
You sound like a warrior or commander of sorts! You will fight it! Maybe it's the Winston Churchill type of thing that I hear.
I'm no saint. Just someone who cares a lot for people! If there is a Saint Donna, then maybe she's out there somewhere yet to be discovered! Only God knows who she is!
You are a very special person!
That's okay. My feet have been tingling. When I get rushed or stressed, it seems that it gets worse. So I have to take my time and walk wherever I go. When that happens, I develop a limp. If that fast pace continues, then it gets so bad there is difficulty in walking. That and there have been times of forgetfulness. The doctor thinks that it is the MS that is doing this. I keep fighting this. Can't give up. Still, maybe I can help someone else who is having problems like this.
Your user name seems to describe you. You are definitely sunkist or shall I say Sonkissed!
Everything is okay. Collecting information for disability, but other than that okay. Was laid off from my job at the church in September, but that is just as well, because there really wasn't much to do and I like to be kept busy. I left the church to go where I believe the Lord is leading me, so I wondered if that had anything to do with it as they had said that I could keep the job until I find something better. Anyway, it is good to hear from you. If you want, you can always e-mail me at email@example.com.
Good morning, Tiffany! How are you? Missed talking with you! Lots of hugs coming your way!

Love the theme, love Jana. But that was a mess.
Love the theme, love Jana. But that was a mess.
I'm really annoyed with the fact that IN does not seem to be broadcasting the music as part of their audio, it just seems to be on in the background and the focus is on the commentators, either it should be the other way around or they should make the audio levels equal like they do on normal broadcasts :sheesh:
K/N's OD hardly seems like a dance at all. Just some moves.
I might have a shot at trying to like K/N's OD if the costumes are gone...
my eyes hurt (and this is a bad program...)
I think skating [read: ice dance] is the reason purple is not among my favorite colors
Khoklova/Novitski: Elongated "look at me" intro before the program begins, which set me a little on edge. The ending spin into the lift is cool. Them trying to find new positions for her legs is not. The tool has become a gimmick. And there's the disparity between the two - she's just more natural on the ice, I think. A couple of bobbles overall. Didn't like the way the music went into the guttural dirge.
Scores: 49.53/86.47, 4th/1st
Did they change something in the routine? Thier OD looks less Soviet this time.
Tanith is so pretty.
Still prefer D&W's OD.
LOVED B/A!! Totally in league of their own. There are parts they can improve on, but the speed and the chemistry were amazing!
Belbin/Agosto: Well, that was awesome. Gangbusters opening (after the too long pose). Easy lifts. Comfortable, relaxed, engaging, exciting (love the ending). Room for improvement but I loved where they're at.
Scores: 60.95/100.23, 1st/1st
If K/N get third overall by the end of this competition, I will be very happy.
wow good score for B/A, huge difference betwen them and K/N.
Tanith and Ben are loking so confident and happy this season
What happened with K/N's TES?

This is Bogdan Yakimov scoring his first KHL goal earlier this season. Yakimov is playing depth minutes but scoring at a very nice clip, and his contributions for Neftekhimik have him front and center on the list of Oilers prospects progress in 2013-14.
In his Hockey Abstract, Rob Vollman suggests that the KHL-to-NHL ratio (the amount of air we should let out of the KHL stats) is 78%, making it a very strong league (best in the business). Bogdan Yakimov is an 18-year old forward who checks in at 6.05, 202. The Oilers plucked him 83rd overall at the 2013 Entry draft, and so far this year he's showing extremely well:
- 9gp, 2-3-5 +3 13sog 9:15TOI
That's a really nice line, Vollman's number suggests he'd be in the 35 point range as an NHL equivalency (caution: this is VERY early and we shouldn't be counting our chickens). He's played some center (68.8% on 27 faceoffs) and both of his goals have come at even strength (EV goals are generally regarded as being more difficult, and we know the numbers aren't a result of cherry picking PP minutes).
- Yakimov: "I'm extremely happy, because I've been waiting to be selected. I was already at the edge of my nerves, so this was a huge relief to be selected by anybody, particularly by the Edmonton Oilers. In Nizhnekamsk, the most favourite team of anybody is Edmonton Oilers, because Nail Yakupov is from the same town."
Edmonton's relationship with Russia at the draft was mostly indifferent before Nail Yakupov. In the ten years of drafting before Nail, Edmonton used the following selections on Russians playing in Russia:
- D Ivan Koltsov, 106th overall in 2002
- F Alexander Bumagin, 170th overall in 2006
That's basically ignoring an enormous part of the hockey world for a decade, which means other teams are getting the benefit of higher value in their selections. There are reasons to avoid Russia, and the Oilers probably felt (and with good reason) that Russian players would be less likely to come to Edmonton based on their own past (see Alexei Mikhnov). Getting Russians signed, sealed and delivered to North America can be a huge pain in the ass (see Belov) and sometimes when they get here you find out they can't see or skate (see Mikhnov again).
It's kind of like stepping back in time, prospect-wise. Unless you know the area, have some inside knowledge or connection, then Russia is a vast wasteland.
Since taking Nail Yakupov, the Oilers are being more aggressive in Russia and part of it comes from comments like Yakimov's above. It seems as though--really for the first time--the Edmonton Oilers have their feet on the ground and are mobile behind Russian lines. It is very likely to have huge benefits in the future, as represented by the Oilers actions this past season regardins Russians in Russia:
- C Bogdan Yakimov 83rd overall in 2013
- L Anton Slepyshev 88th overall in 2013
Slepyshev is struggling early (7, 0-0-0) but has a nice resume and is certainly a solid NHL prospect. Yakupov you know about, Yakimov is making his way in the KHL this season. This isn't the Russians-to-Detroit pipeline of 15 years ago, but it's a start.
The Oilers should have been active in Russia long ago, there's no real excuse. Sure teams have been burned, but if a prospect works out and doesn't want to play for you he still has trade value. During the 10 year period that Edmonton avoided Russia like the plague (leading up to the Yakupov selection), the Oilers passed on some exceptional talent.
This season, there were 8 Russians selected in the NHL draft, and Edmonton chose two of them. One of those players--Bogdan Yakimov--is making some early noise.
September 29 2013, 07:40AM
A side note,
I really still can't believe that Greg chase was available in round 7. Blows my mind.
He also seems the type of personality that is happy he got selected but is pissed and is going to show it.
It's early but ....
September 29 2013, 07:37AM
This newfound affinity for Russia is a very smart gamble.
I would much rather spend 3rd picks that have graded out higher than that but drop In value over fear of never seeing them. Then gambling on the Cameron Abney's and Such.
If one of these gambles work out and they do come over and supply first round production, it would be a great day.
I also don't expect MacT to spend an enormous amount of picks, but top stockpile a few is smart money.
September 29 2013, 08:48AM
Colburne plays a very soft game....very soft. Eakins and MacT know this guy really well....good call not to go after him.
September 29 2013, 08:20AM
Meanwhile the Flames strengthen their centre ice depth by acquiring a big young NHL centre for almost nothing.
Yes Abbotsford will be getting a good center. I hope we get someone who is more proven and useful if its going to cost a 4th round draft pick who might have just gotten waived anyways. Only 5 teams had dibs over the Flames and they spent a 4th to ensure they get him. Its a bit pricey.
September 29 2013, 07:25AM
Я взволнован, о нем! Может быть, он поставляется в следующем году пройдет в Hemsky.

This is feasted we are talking about.... The guy who thought he could offer sheet oreilly(?) from the Avs and he wouldn't have to clear waivers

Chase has 4 goals in his first 2 games for the Hitmen.
September 29 2013, 05:25PM
I could understand being afraid of picking a Russian who is playing in Russia with a first or maybe even second round selection but what is the risk afterwards? When we were drafting guys like Cameron Abney and Troy Hesketh in the third round, it would have been nice to take a shot at a highly skilled Russian who may never come to North America. So many mid round picks are longshots anyways so why not swing for the fences instead of picking up somebody with limited upside?
September 29 2013, 07:57AM
I like his number, but it might not be available when he gets here.
September 29 2013, 08:53AM
And...are the Flames not suspect to putting him on waivers themselves if he doesnt crack the lineup? Im not sure. That would be a bit embarrasing.

How to Turn Your Blogs Into Money-Making Machines
Writing blogs can take a lot of time, but it can be soooo worth it… if it's done properly. If you want to generate income from your blogs, there are a few tips you should take into consideration:
1) Provide tons of useful information. Don't use your blog to advertise or sell things. Use it to give people information that they will be thankful for. The more useful your blogs are, the more people will visit your website and seek out your services and products. People like to buy from reputable experts and that is how you will be perceived when you write content-rich blogs.
2) Don't keep your blog a secret. If you write a blog and then do nothing else with it, you are basically writing for yourself only. You want to get as many people to read your blog as possible. You can do this by posting links on your social media sites, submitting your blogs to blog directories and social bookmarking sites and adding links to your email blasts.
3) Be aware of keywords as you write. Your blog should flow in a regular reading style instead of being jam packed with keywords for search engine optimization, but it is very important to include some keywords as you write so that you can potentially generate some organic traffic.
4) Make it relevant and specific. Make sure the information you are putting out is relevant to the services and products you provide and is useful to a specific group of people and make sure you are targeting those people. When the right person reads the right information, they will want to hire you.
5) Tie your blogs in with promotions you are running. If you offer an array of services but you are promoting acupuncture this month, then make your blogs relevant to acupuncture.
