See if you can locate ones with continuously variable speed built-in...
Could one arduino remotley control multiple sockets?
Thanks Mark. I am still at a stage of playing with different fans, so am not sure of the motor type, But I would not want them to be any less powerful than a standard 16" oscillating fan which power at approx 45-50w and generally a remote voltage of 220v (sometimes 240). I am hoping to power at least three fans, (obviously from the mains), how feasible is this?!
Any directions to code for use the arduino as a remote control?!

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
2010 has come to an end and this is the beginning of a promising new year—2011. It is an appropriate time to look back at some of the events that have taken center stage in our lives over the last year. Don't worry… I am not going to carry on about health care, Don't Ask, Don't Tell; the START Treaty or even the drubbing the Democrats took during the November election. About the only subject on a political note I have is over my concerns of tragic unrest in Ivory Coast which has the vast potential to disrupt the lives of many innocent people and further destabilize cocoa prices which are already at an all-time high.
What I do want to address are new learnings about chocolate this past year. The cacao genome map is being studied and we are discovering so much more about this wonderful, ancient and magical plant, including all of the health benefits that can be derived from eating a moderate amount of dark chocolate each day.
We read about a new cocoa-based drug that has the potential to treat persistent coughs. The drug is a joint development by United Kingdom-based SEEK, and United States-based Pernix. This new drug contains theobromine, an ingredient naturally present in cocoa and chocolate. The drug is entering the final stages of human clinical trials and could be on market within a little more than two years. This will be the first effective non-opioid treatment for persistent or chronic cough in two decades. Human trial research in South Korea has shown that theobromine has none of the side effects associated with standard drug treatments for persistent cough.
Persistent cough is a very common condition, afflicting over 800 million people worldwide, with an estimated 12% of the general population having the symptoms. Failure to treat a cough can lead to enormous consequences in terms of loss of one's heath and well-being. Theobromine, a key compound in chocolate, has been shown to inhibit the inappropriate firing of the vagus nerve, which is a key cause of a persistent cough.
I, for one, have had a persistent, nagging cough since a bout with pneumonia several years ago and take at least one Choclatique Q-91 square—our functional chocolate—to dampen it down. As good as Q-91 is, I am still looking forward to concentrated chocolate flavored cough drops or syrups.
During the year we continued to hear about the expanded benefits of chocolate which has been used a vasodilator, or blood vessel widener, a diuretic, a heart stimulant, a cavity inhibitor and even a way to improve bad breath.
We also learned this year that Flavanol compounds derived from cocoa boosts the beneficial bacteria in the intestine. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, demonstrates the effect of cocoa flavanols on select stomach bacteria in humans and, "suggests the potential prebiotic benefits associated with the dietary inclusion of flavanol-rich foods have a beneficial effect through their selective metabolism in the intestinal tract."
Scientists from the Nestlé Research Center reported earlier this year that a that daily consumption of just 40 grams of dark chocolate like Choclatique's Q-91 significantly increases a person's metabolism to help control weight maintenance. Dr. Jeremy Spencer from the University of Reading said that implications of the study are "that subtle changes in dietary habits, such as eating dark chocolate, can benefit long term health."
Manufacturers' interest in the active compounds in cocoa started about 20 years ago when scientists sought to understand the flavor components of chocolate. The bitter and astringent compounds were isolated, and further study and clinical work showed the health benefits of the monomers and the tannins, particularly epicatechin.
Scientists active in the area are keen to stress that chocolate and cocoa are very different in terms and not interchangeable. Cocoa is the non-fat component of cocoa liquor (finely ground cocoa beans) which is used in chocolate making or as Cocoa liquor contains approximately 55 per cent cocoa butter and together this comprises cocoa solids, often referred to on chocolate packaging. cocoa powder (usually about 12 percent fat) for cooking and drinks. Chocolate refers to the combination of cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, etc. in a solid food product.
All of us at Choclatique thank you—our loyal readers and valued customers—for a great 2010 and we wish you all a healthful and prosperous 2011 filled with sweet dreams and chocolate wishes.

Skip to comments.The Obama Factor In West Virginia
Posted on 07/23/2010 12:04:45 PM PDT by CaroleL
The primaries to determine the candidates who will battle for the seat vacated by the late Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) are little more than a month away. But most who are watching the race believe it will be a contest between Governor Joe Manchin (D) and Republican industrialist John Raese. The latest poll shows the Governor with a significant 16 point lead (51% - 35%) so should we put this one in the Democratic win column? Not yet.
(Excerpt) Read more at talkingsides.com ...
Not yet? Of course not yet...we have some time until November...this will be a huge hurdle but never give up.
'Although Governor Manchin is considered a centrist, he has strongly supported President Obama's far-left policies including health care reform.'
There's that word again, centrist.
He is no centrist. Journolisting
As a proud Virginian, there is a reason West Virginia separated from Virginia, they are retards.
I would think,as the author seems to,once its a one on one race it will tighten considerably. Nothing like a clear choice to crystalize opinion.
Excuse me?
"Excuse me?"
You spelled everything correctly. You are excused.
Can someone explain WV to me... This is a fairly strong red state. Bush won big. Even McCain crushed Obama here (during the Dem tsunami). And Obama's state approval is at 34%.
Yet, they elect statewide Dems. What gives.. Is this a Dixiecrat mentality?
You most certainly AREN'T excused, since we're checking writing skills.
Seems you used a comma in your original post where you should have used a semicolon, or perhaps started a new sentence.
Nevertheless, this "retard" will take the high road and avoid name calling and taking a chance on offending like-minded individuals who come to this forum. It's called "class".
I'll admit, lots of West Virginians are stupid. But so is making a gross generalization like that.
"Ill admit, lots of West Virginians are stupid. But so is making a gross generalization like that."
You are a man of great restraint. I admire that. I will retract my assertion that all of WVA is retarded. I will gladly note that the fishing in WVA is splendid. Should WVA surprise me and elect a Republican Governor, I will happily state to any and all that WVA is fine by me. Lets see what happens. You guys flunked the first test in 1860, lets see how you score in 2010?
"Obozo managed to fool more than 52% of Virginia voters whereas he fooled less than 43% of those in West Virginia last time around."
We started the take back with the Governor's election. There will be no happy tales of campaign success for the obamawankers in VA. Hopefully, WVA will be able to say the same.
Someone should make an updated graph or line chart that shows where certain words are falling on the liberal-conservative line.
I have a feeling the word "centrist" is closer to liberal than it is to the true center.
Evidenced buy the Left willing to be called centrist and a true conservative would never want to be called centrist as currently defined. Even though conservatism is truly the norm(center point) for the country in terms of where people really stand, at least for now.
I repeat the question asked above, if any West Virginian's on here can answer.....why would WV go blue? This is a coal mining state, proud hard working Americans, the kind that liberals insult as bible toting, clinging to their guns and religion. Plus the 0 has said several times that he will shut coal mines down.
why oh why do they keep voting for Dem politicians...Byrd, and now this Manchin dude? Please explain the WV mindset. I wholly respect our hardworking AMERICAN coal miners, which is why i am confused that the state woudl vote so stupidly for liberals.
I will explain WV.
It is Texas and Georgia and Alabama but stuck in 1972. Most of the notable statewide or federal Dems are Pro Life, Pro NRA, Pro Small Business. Like Former State Senator, Then Secretary of State, Now Governor and soon to be Senator, Joe Manchin.
The Republicans, like Congresswoman Capito and the GOP Chairman, are pro big coal, and pro choice.
Rich Republicans and big coal vs the little labor circa 1920s has NOT been forgotten.
When everyone knows JOE and where he came from, and then they contrast to Pro Choice, Pro Homo, Rich Republicans like Capito and Millionaire John Raese, it is a no brainer.
Raese will not get 35%. If he spends 18 million or if he DIES tomorrow and thus spends NOTHING.
He will get 32-35% from broken glass Republicans who live in the northern panhandle DC area. Capito's district.
The rest of the state will vote for Manchin. Including half the Republicans who are Pro Life!
West Virginians for Life, West Virgina Family Council, West Virgina NRA will ALL endorse Manchin.
Raese is a 3 time loser who can't break into the 40's spending millions and owning all the radio stations in the state!!
Raese is supported by the same folks who support CRIST, MCCAIN, SNOWE, GRAHAM, SPECTOR and the rest of the RINOs.
This is why. This is WV. All the GOP are RINOs, and the Dems are all still 1972 Southern "Phil Gramm and Sam Nunn" types.
Unless one of the other 10 GOP candidates is smart enough to beat Raese and then able to raise money, no chance of anything but SSDD coming out of WV anytime in this lifetime.
Whoever wins this one, is Senator for LIFE.
As someone who was born and raised in South Western Virginia before moving to West Virginia, I believe I know why WV votes the way it does.
The people, by and large, are socially conservative and fairly devout Christians but have bought into the idea that the Democratic Party is the party of the working man. I suspect there are various factors at work to produce this idea, but not the least of which is the massive amount of people who are employed in the mining industry.
Those who have any experience with this industry will understand that, while most mines are not unionized, they are also inherantly dangerous and the idea that "a non-unionized mine is a dangerous mine" becomes subconciously attached to the idea that the Democrats, who support the Unions, are "for the working man" because they support Unionized mines, a.k.a. "safe mines".
The far South Western portions of Virginia as well as the Eastern portions of Kentucky are much the same in terms of social and religious backgrounds and have a fairly common history of electing Republicans to the White House but also voting for Democrats at other levels of government, including Congress. The major thing that they all have in common is a massive reliance upon the mining industry.
Great analysis and I don't doubt a word of it. But I'm wondering what you think about my hypothesis in the original article - will the voters of West Virginia go against their traditional Democratic loyalties this time around because a vote for Machin is a vote for one more Senator that will support the Obama agenda?
Good points,and a well reasoned anlaysis (with a nice writing style to boot) but the same argument could have been applied to the Deep South in the 60's....and now it's pretty solidly Red..As the Dem party moves further left..and is taken over more and more by the crazies, WV will go RED..it's just a question of when...I suspect that many Dems/ indies who will not vote for Manchen, aren't comfortable saying that now to a pollster..it's a fairly taciturn state..BTW...what's with Shelly.can/is she going to run for BOTH her House seat and the Senate?
NO Shelly did not take advantage of the "LBJ" loophole and will NOT run. She may NEVER run depending on WHO else does. She would need to run against a VERY liberal "new" Dem to beat them.
Raese cannot get more than 35%. Period. Ever. No matter HOW much "McCain spin he puts on it. He is known by the right wing in the GOP and a total rich cat by the poor Dems.
ZERO Cross over for him.
Now... someone ELSE could take advantage of the "effect" sweeping the nation. But know it is NOT Sweeping WV.
Manchin will LIE and be BELIEVED. Let that go.
Without 1 million PLUS in Mail all Negative and a relentless grassroots effort, no one can beat him.
But, politics is like football. The 10-6 Giants CAN beat the 19-0 Patriots.
And it IS possible to BEAT "Status Quo Joe". But it is not John Raese. Rumors had it a State Senator Clark Barnes might run, but it looks like he knew he couldn't raise money.
So that leaves only one other half serious guy and he has issues to overcome. Mac Warner.
Warners can raise money, but they don't HAVE money. And they have connections but burned bridges from the primary for Governor a few years back.
If he could beat Raese in a Primary and NOT alienate the GOP moderates... he COULD in theory tie Manchin to Obama and get that 11% swing vote in a low turnout year and win.
But it is a Giants vs Patriots one in a thousand long long shot.
The real problem is the State Party. RINOS. Pro Aborts. Sodomites. And they HATE Warner's clan more than they hate Dems. I dunno HOW you get past that with a Primary and only 4 weeks to do it.
A miracle?
Yeah, about that level.
God comes down and stops the bullets.
Anything less, and we get LIBERAL JOE for dot ever!!
Thanks for that explanation. It's a shame that WV is that way, sending Democrts to Congress, oblivious to what they do to the rest of the country. Obviously, they are not informed enough to understand the damage that they do.
They are no more or less informed than the people in SC who send us DeMint and Graham. Or those in Iowa who give us Grasley And Harkin. Politicians lie and many people are deceived. Nothing much more than that.
Granted, it's a problem in other states. But it seems to me that WV, with its collection of pretty ignorant folks, is pretty consistent in sending Democrat senators to Washington.
At least Graham is on the rolls as a Republican and counts for majority purposes.
But I have especial reference to Alabama, also a state with people of limited education, which nevertheless has the good sense to send two conservative and effective Republican senators and a large collection of conservative Republican congressmen. Even the few Democrats they send appear to be conservative.
That's what I am saying. It's not that the people in WV are somehow dumber than average. They are JUST as average, it is that the POLITICIANS in WV are damn good liars.
Do you remember the famous Shotgun photo in 2004 with John Kerry in WV? He went to a rally and held up a shotgun. John KERRY. Claiming he was PRO GUN and guess what ELSE... anti-gay and pro traditional marriage. I am NOT Kidding. He claimed on tape, that it was Bush Appointed Judges who invented gay laws and he would appoint honorable judges.
I was there as a volunteer for Victory2004 that summer. Working in DC and we all went to WV following Kerry for 3 days. At the rally, many out of state Kerry staff were there too. And so we both (sided) talked while handing out our opposing lit. We each snuck copies from our supporters of the other sides lit too.
And Kerry was passing out a PRO FAMILY PRO GUN ANTI GAY ANT CHOICE lit piece.
There was a VERY BUTCH, obviously totally lez young girl working for Kerry and we struck up a conversation during a half an hour of work... and I asked her...
Pardon me, but you strike me as a very pro choice, pro gay rights liberal feminist, yes?
She readily admitted it. YES, VERY MUCH SO.
So, I pulled out my copy of her lit and said. HOW CAN YOU PASS THIS OUT ??
She smiled and said, the Dems here are stuck in the 1950s so we HAVE TO LIE TO WIN.
Proud of it.
I was shocked and she just laughed at me and smiled like she was sooooo smarter than us.
So what happened?
The Dems in WV knew Kerry was a Liar and Bush won by 20+ points.
But, they also know their local county Dem IS PRO LIFE and PRO GUN and the GOP Candidate is a RINO Squish.
That is the fault of the State GOP and their Pro Choice Abortion Doctor Chairman.
I wouldn't vote for him or his candidates either if I lived there and I am as well informed as they get.
Until the GOP actually changes and runs REAL Conservatives and until the Dems are actually MORE LIBERAL than the GOP... expect the Dems to win 2 to 1 in WV. And expect a few liberal dems to LIE.
But the people aren't hicks or stupid. Any more or less than people anywhere else.

Car shoppers considering a new Mercedes-Benz face a blizzard of choices when it comes to the new E-Class, which accounts for one out of five of the brand's luxury cars sold in the U.S.
There will be 15, count 'em, 15 different E-Class vehicles.
Is that too many? Mercedes officials apparently don't think so.
The new E-Class will come as eight sedan choices and two wagon choices, including the E400 hybrid and E63 AMG S performance models. There are also three coupes and two convertibles.
There is a choice of two-wheel drive as well as 4Matic (four-wheel drive), and now consumers can choose between a gasoline engine or diesel.
Where to start? That would be the base E250 BlueTec with a 2.1-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel at $52,325 including a $925 destination charge. The base E350, with a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, is $500 more.
The 2014 lineup launch started this spring with sedans and wagons with the V6. The hybrid as well as the coupes and convertibles will hit showrooms this month.
The AMG sedans and wagons are due in August followed by the diesel in September that could get as much as 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
In the past, diesels accounted for about 5% of sales but adding a 4Matic diesel to the lineup might increase the take rate, says Bart Herring, general manager of product management.
The average E-Class buyer is 58 years old with a household income of $192,000 and married, but only a third have children.
Technically this is a midcycle upgrade, but the modifications include a new engine and technology as well as styling changes inside and out.
Style-wise, there is greater differentiation between the luxury and sport models for 2014. The Mercedes star remains perched atop the hood of the luxury edition but on the sport version it is integrated for the first time into the grille. The sport model accounts for 85% of sales.
The cars have a new hood, bumpers, lights and wheel design as well as a redone instrument cluster and materials.
Intelligent drive is the umbrella under which Mercedes combines a number of safety and driver-assist technologies in which sensors, cameras and radar enable the car to take over and steer or stop or accelerate to avoid collision if a warning does not prompt the driver to take the necessary evasive actions.
"We're taking a small step towards autonomous driving," Herring said.
When Mercedes introduced its technology package in 2000, the price was an extra $3,700. Today, there are many advancements and the price has fallen to $2,800, Larsen said.
Mercedes has 100% of the luxury wagon market in the U.S. because everyone else has abandoned wagons for utility vehicles and assorted crossovers.
Mercedes sold 1,726 wagons last year, up 10%. Herring said wagons represent only 2% of E-Class sales in the U.S. but the automaker has no intention of abandoning this loyal customer base or risking losing them.

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th-century writers focused on sensational aspects, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence.The story as depicted in this collection begins in the colonial era, describing the bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia's Native American inhabitants. It depicts the evolution of a farm- and forest-society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns and mining industries penetrated into the mountains. Diaries, journals and narratives of explorers, emigrants, military men, Native Americans and travelers are complemented by accounts of the development of farming and mining communities, family histories and folklore.

History Professor Discovers Lost Irish Medieval Fortress
|Dr. Thomas Finan with Dr. Paul Naessens of the Department of Archaeology at NUI-Galway.
Saint Louis University history professor Thomas Finan, Ph.D., has discovered another major Gaelic settlement dating to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The site, surveyed and studied as part of a research project involving SLU students, was a high status center for the MacDermot lords who ruled over north county Roscommon throughout the middle ages.
The project, funded by the University's College of Arts and Sciences, also involved staff and equipment from a SLU global partner, the National University of Ireland-Galway. Galway, which is a sister city for St. Louis, shares a long interest in the archaeology of Gaelic Ireland.
Finan and the team conducted an extensive topographical and geophysical survey of two related sites, the Rock of Lough Key and a moated site on the shore of Lough Key.
"We first conducted a survey of the interior of the Rock of Lough Key, a site mentioned in historical records as an island castle of the MacDermot lords," Finan said. "The results from that survey are a little difficult to interpret because of a great deal of nineteenth century construction on the island."
The survey at the moated site fortress, however, revealed much more than Finan had hoped.
"We have a few references to a market town existing on the shores of Lough Key in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, which is curious because it is one of the only references to such a site in a Gaelic context before the arrival of the English," Finan added. "What the settlement was and where it was located has been a bit of a mystery until now."
|Kate Ruble, a senior anthropology major with a minor in sociology and history, was a member of Finan's research project team.
Topographical and geophysical surveying revealed not only a core moated site (a Gaelic fortification constructed by the highest status nobility in medieval Ireland), but a number of roads, enclosures and possible buildings. "There is no doubt in my mind that we are looking at a major, unstudied settlement," he added.
Finan, who had directed the very successful excavations at Kilteasheen from 2004-09, says that the potential for the site to yield significant amounts of research far exceeded his expectations.
"The site has great potential. We know that this was a center of administrative and political lordship in Gaelic Ireland, but perhaps more importantly it was a center of economic activity," Finan said. "But, further, we have a great deal of interconnected historical documentation that was compiled at monastic sites on the islands of Lough Key, so the potential for amassing a longer term record of political, economic and even climatic data related to medieval Gaelic Ireland is huge."
Finan and his SLU team will be publishing the results of the survey in the coming months, and he is developing a variety digital means of presenting the data from the site to a wider audience.

A Bad Day/Where Do We Go From Here?
Jonathan Willis
July 01 2009 11:03PM
I've been a fan of Steve Tambellini for a while now, and he's passed a few tests well (trade deadline, the draft), but the last 48 hours have not been the highlight of his time as Edmonton's general manager. Let's take a look at his work today, starting with his best deal and finishing with Heatley.
The Khabibulin Acquisition
I wasn't a fan of this move at first. I'm still not a fan, exactly, but I'm coming around to some degree. Let's try and look at both sides of the signing.
Taking advantage of the situation: With a ton of capable goaltenders on the market (Khabibulin, Roloson, Biron, Anderson, Clemmensen, etc.) and precious few homes for them, Steve Tambellini stuck to his guns on only handing Dwayne Roloson a one-year contract. Roloson signed a two-year deal with the Islanders, and Craig Anderson signed a bargain contract with Colorado. With some options left, Tambellini promptly signed Khabibulin to a contract for more money and longer term. Was ensuring that the 39-year old Roloson only got one year really worth the extra ten million dollars and two years of term for the 36-year old Khabibulin?
Khabibulin's track record: Yes, he has a Stanley Cup, and yes, he's coming off a deep playoff run. Does anyone remember what happened last time he signed a contract after coming off a deep playoff run? He posted an .886 SV% in Chicago and did a lot to submarine the team's hopes. His play has been so shoddy over the past three seasons that the Blackhawks finally bit the bullet and signed another 'tender (Cristobal Huet) even though it meant lugging around two massive contracts in a salary cap era. Khabibulin has topped a .910 SV% just once in the last four years. Of the twenty goaltenders who have faced 5000 shots since 2005-06, he ranks 16th in save percentage — among those who ranked higher is Dwayne Roloson, at 12th.
Sharing the workload: Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports that the Oilers plan to have Jeff Deslauriers play 25-30 games next season so they can really see what they've got in him. I suppose the 147 games that the 25-year old has played in the AHL and NHL weren't enough for them to get an accurate read; if they don't know already then perhaps firing the goaltending coach a few days ago was a good move. Maybe they've seen something that the rest of us have missed, but what I see is a 25-year old with a middling AHL track record who has been jerked from team to team since turning pro.
The positives: Despite the first two rather damning points, there is some hope here. Gabriel Desjardins of behindthenet.ca has been doing work on shot quality and expected save percentage, based on the location of shots taken (from NHL game charts). Commenter Doogie on my other site was nice enough to point out Khabibulin's even-strength numbers over the past two years to me:
- Expected GAA and save percentage: 2.66 GAA, .899 SV%
- Actual GAA and save percentage: 2.17 GAA, .918 SV%
That's a stark contrast, and this will be a good test case. Was Chicago's defense really that porous? If so, than Tambellini may have a quality keeper on his hands.
The final analysis: This wasn't the best possible choice, and the term is a little frightening. All of that said, this isn't an albatross contract either, and the goaltending should be adequate for the next few years.
The Chris Neil Offer
Looking up and down the roster, what do the Oilers need more than anything else? A fourth-line RW from a non-playoff team who provides a nasty physical edge and minimal upside in any other area of the game? I thought so. And, heck, why not make him a three year offer in the 2-million dollars a year range? It isn't like the Oilers already have a similar player locked up for the next few years at one-third of the money.
Yet, the Oilers were reported by TSN as one of the final teams pushing hard to add Chris Neil to their roster.
Dany Heatley
This stuff honestly couldn't get made up, it's that weird. To recap:
- 50-goal scorer Dany Heatley demands a trade from his team because he doesn't get along with the new coach (under who the team finally started winning).
- Despite demanding a trade, Heatley doesn't waive his no-movement clause; he still demands the right to determine where he gets traded.
- Edmonton puts together a package that Ottawa finds palatable, and Bryan Murray asks Heatley to waive his NMC to go to the Oilers. Heatley says (through his agent) that he wants to "sleep on it".
- At this point, we find out that neither the Oilers nor Senators have been interpreting his contract correctly — the $4 million signing bonus that Heatley is owed won't be due until the next night. Heatley's agent, meanwhile, knew this the entire time (I wonder if he wants to be an assistant GM — I can think of two teams that would probably be upgrading in that slot by hiring him).
- The Oilers dream team flies out to meet with Heatley to persuade him to waive his NMC.
Heatley however, has decided not to waive his NMC to come to Edmonton, leaving Ottawa on the hook for four-million dollars. The reason though seems to have little to do with Edmonton – this from Dan Tencer's Twitter feed:
Source: Meeting went OK with the Oilers. It's more about Heatley trying put the screws to Ottawa.
At this point, it's anyone's guess as to what eventually will happen. Ottawa's in a bad situation, and the Oilers might be able to take advantage of it. Than again, maybe Bryan Murray will return the favour and refuse to deal the winger — which takes us to our final question:
Where Do They Go From Here?
Let's assume that the Oilers are still interested in a left-winger to play on their top line. If Heatley doesn't work out, I imagine that Tambellini's backup plans go something like this:
- Plan B – Sign Marian Hossa.
- Plan C – Sign Martin Havlat.
- Plan D – Sign Marian Gaborik.
- Plan E – Sign Mike Cammalleri.
Unfortunately, while the Oilers were busy chasing Heatley, the Blackhawks, Wild, Rangers, and Canadiens decided to sign virtually every high-scoring left-winger on the market. Alex Tanguay is probably the next best thing available via free agency, while it's possible that Alex Frolov or Simon Gagne are available via trade.
Regardless, the Oilers still have some options, but a) they aren't in the same class as the three top-end guys who signed today and b) it's anyone's guess if they'll still be available when the Heatley saga finally comes to a conclusion one way or the other.
Making The Best of The Situation
All is not lost, though. Heatley may still accept a trade to Edmonton (for good or ill) and while Samuel Pahlsson and John Madden have both been taken off the market, free agent Manny Malhotra is still available and would be a good fit for the Oilers' third line and penalty kill; he's big, he's strong, he can find the defensive zone without the aid of a map and multiple trail guides, and unlike virtually every other forward on the Oilers' roster he can win a faceoff.
There's still tomorrow.
If the team's bound and determined to get another LW and don't mind not moving Penner, Tanguay seems like a nice complement to O'Sullivan.
I would pull the offer for Heatley from the table. True, the opportunity to add a quality forward of his calibre is rare, but I can't help but think that moving Cogliano at this stage of the game is a bad decision. I'd be more comfortable with packaging Penner and parts to Philly for Gagne (although Rod Phillips would probably have a seizure trying to keep Gagne and Gagner differentiated) and converting Cogliano to a wing position. Who knows, if Tambellini let's Heatley know that the only team serious enough to make an offer is getting ready to walk away from the table, maybe he'll change his tune. But I hope not.
This will perhaps give legs to the Souray rumours (to LA) that have been reported for the last little while. Perhaps somebody like Frolov (as JW mentions)... and maybe reacquiring Stoll?
I don't see value in continuing to pursue Heatley after everything that has gone on. What sort of reception would he get at Rexall now?
I was a little surprised by the length of the contract given to Kabby... what's with us and 40 year old goalies?!
Without Heatley or any other big name coming in this is the same old Oiler team fighting for eighth in March.

hahaha. I think this may well be my favorite article you have ever written. Willis spitting hot fire!!! I think Tambo should go home, have a nice long sleep, and pretend like this day never, ever happened.
There has to be more to this than what we're seeing... how can the Oilers still be into it at this point?!

Ottawa had a bunch of big names and it didn't get them very far this past season. Big names don't win hockey games; balanced teams win hockey games, and Heatley doesn't bring that by himself.

I dont know whether to cut my losses in time the last 30 hours or to continue hoping. Id imagine the Oilers management is in the same situation. After all the names signed as mentioned above what choices are we left with anyway? Cant Antropov play LW? Not saying I would like it just trying to put my mind at ease so I can find some sleep this evening.
July 01 2009, 11:32PM
I have to believe that Heatley said something to Tambo and Lowe which would lead to the assumption that it can still get done.
July 01 2009, 11:33PM
Regarding the 'Bulin Wall acquisition, I'm not sold that it was the best possible scenario but I couldn't reasonably have expected much more from Tambi either. I was pushing just as hard as anyone else for Tambi to stick to his one-year line in the sand with Roli. When Roli and Anderson both signed elsewhere, Khabby became pretty much the next-best option. If $15M through Khabby turning 40 was what it took to get it done, then I guess I can't sit back and criticize too loud. The alternatives could have been far worse. Bottom line, we have a starting goalie this season. Let's be happy for today and worry about the 11-12 season then.
July 01 2009, 11:35PM
Im also surprised that the oilers camp hasnt spoken to the media at all regarding Khabibulin and Roloson.
looking at all of Tambellini's history to this point (as far as trades and signings), it seems to start at the Cole/O'Sullivan deal (Good!), and then procedes onto deals like Brodziak for picks and Khabi for 4 years (not good.) At this point I do not see any reason to consider him a better GM than K Lowe.
July 01 2009, 11:43PM
@ Ender the Dragon:
J-S Giguere. One of Atlanta's goalies. Manny Fernandez. Craig Anderson. Josh Harding. Jaroslav Halak. Martin Biron. Anterro Niittymaki.
He had some options, whether via trade or free agency. Where is Biron going to play now? Did Khabibulin really need four years?
I can't know what his exact options off that list are, but I'll tell you one - I'm not convinced that Roloson for 2 years would be any worse than Khabibulin for 4. And Roli was much cheaper.
@ Jonathan Willis: I know Jon, but thats not what im saying the Oil need someone who can put the puck in the net. We don't have a 40-50 goal scorer who can take us to the next level. Balanced teams in the NHL will put you at 500 hockey.
July 01 2009, 11:52PM
@ Muller:
The Oilers do need offense, I agree. On the other hand, this past year:
234 goals scored for (7th in the West) 248 goals scored against (tied for 13th in the West)
I know which one kept this team out of the playoffs.
July 01 2009, 11:52PM
if i were ottawa i would not pay him the $4 million for breach of contract. let him sue them for it. they have more money and better lawyers than he does. he will get his money, in about 10 years and 6 appeals.
July 01 2009, 11:54PM
@ esa tikkanen: There clearly was no breach of contract though.
Some would argue that Khabibulin was the best tender on the market and the Oil picked him up. I am not one of those, but at the end of the day I would not say goaltending is a problem for Edmonton next year. Good enough for me... let's look move on.
All the talk I have been listening to (on 1260) and reading on here has been pretty negative. I think you can lay all of the offseason false starts at the feet of one hole that they keep trying to fill: Left Wing.
They They brought in Penner to be that guy - nope. They tried for Hossa and failed. They traded for Cole - nope. They traded for Kotalik and Hemsky's production dropped. They now try for Heatley - nope.
If they could just fill this one hole on our roster they might be able to concentrate on something else. I do not blame Tambellini for trying to acquire someone that stops the merry go round at Left Wing. It's irritating that these things keep falling through.
I really don't think this team is miles away from being a contender. They aren't one now, make no mistake, but if they could just plug that one hole and stay more or less healthy, they could give some other teams more of a run for their money than they have the last three years.
Keep it coming Tambo. I think you are doing just fine right now.

What did Heatley say to give Oil management hope? More lip service? Heatley may want to put the screws to the Sens but he is inadvertantly doing it to the Oilers now. By toying with them all day they missed out on several other oppurtunities and now the only viable left wing option left is one who seems content just screwing the system.

Also heatley may get his money in 10 years but guaranteed it would far exceeding 4 million, since it would be the ottawa senators who breached also they would be up against NHLPA's lawyers not Heatley's.
July 01 2009, 11:58PM
@ alphah:
How about the fact that Tambellini didn't give Horcoff almost the same dollars as Heatley gets to be a 1st line centre with 2nd line production?
@ Jonathan Willis: Sure....Eliminate the 10 goal BlackHawk Game and where does that put us. The Oil need someone who is given the 1 shot and the puck will go in. The kids are still a couple of years away. Horc is not a natural scorer and Hemsky will pass rather than shoot.
July 02 2009, 12:05AM
Well, heck, if we're going to bring Horcoff's name into the mix, wouldn't it be nice if we had a gritty, two-way LW who loved Edmonton in that top-line spot? One who helped the team to a Stanley Cup Finals berth?
That hole was plugged for seven years by one Alberta guy. Since he left two seasons ago, this team has tried at least five diffferent options (Penner, Cole, Nilsson, O'Sullivan, Kotalik), none of whom have worked. And that's not even counting the guys they've tried to land (Hossa, Jagr, Heatley).
July 02 2009, 12:07AM
@ Muller:
Why eliminate the blowouts? They happened.
As for a one-shot scorer, I'd absolutely like to see one come, I'm just not under the illusion that it's going to fix this team's woes - especially since the single biggest reason for last year's performance was a miserable PK. Scoring goals doesn't fix the penalty kill, no matter how much Ethan Moreau would like to think it does.
July 02 2009, 12:09AM
I'm not worried that much about Khabibulin. The way these guys condition themselves a goalie can play into his early 40s. Bulin can be an excellent goaltender and he doesnt have to play out the contract. He can retire and that money comes off the books. I have no issue with our goaltending right now.
Tambi hasnt done a whole lot in his 1st year as GM. Outside of a deal that Lowe helped him pull off and 1 fiery speech at the end of the season he has done diddly squat. I want to believe he has the guts to turn around and say NO to Heatley or Murray, but it doesnt seem that way. He should have been in hot pursuit of Havlat/Gaborik/Cammalleri the second the deadline started. Who am i to say they werent, but there should have been a point where the Oiler Brass decided that they had SOME pride and told Heatley to get stuffed.
The Oilers did not miss out on any of the other top wingers through free agency. They made it clear from the beginning the only way they could afford to do this was by shipping salary the other way.
July 02 2009, 12:11AM
@ theoil:
Burke sent out Kubina for Exelby to make room for Komisarek. The Oilers could have made a similar move to land a 5MM contract like Hossa's or Havlat's.
We dodged a big time bullet with Neil returning to Ottawa.
As for the whole Heatley thing, that was a luxury move, not a necessity. We have two guys who can handle the job in O'Sullivan and Penner. Yes, Heatley would've been an upgrade on both, but that's not going to happen now, is it.
A much more pressing need is that of the 3rd and 4th line center positions. We'll probably be fine if Pouliot/Brule takes Brodziak's spot on the 4th line, but we have nobody to play at #3 unless they're determined to play both Gagner and Cogliano in the middle (not a good idea IMO). What we should do from here is try to pluck someone off the Malhotra/Bonk tree, and if we can, get an upgrade at #4C like Nichol or Betts (neither of whom I'd like to see any higher on the depth chart than that).
July 02 2009, 12:15AM
@ Jonathan Willis: exactly, the Oilers could have dealt with getting rid of salary any number of ways, and with guys like Hossa only getting 5.X a year, how the heck werent the Oilers in on that?
JW: who are the top 5 pk/faceoff guys that you would go after?

I think firing MacTavish, Peeters, Huddy, and Moores and getting Quinn and Renney in here was pretty friggin good. that trade last year was not coached by Lowe, he said as much point blank in an interview.
He solved the Goaltending problem now he is trying to solve the Left Wing Problem.
@Jonathan I am with you on the Ryan Smyth thing. I like Horcoff and view him much the same way: undervalued.

@ Jonathan Willis: exactly, the Oilers could have dealt with getting rid of salary any number of ways, and with guys like Hossa only getting 5.X a year, how the heck werent the Oilers in on that?
Because it seems that you have to be an immediate Cup contender for Hossa to sign with you, if we go by the last two years. I'm so tired of the excuses about guys not wanting to come here because of the winter or the lack of a night life or something...for the $9 million we offered Hossa last year he could have gotten over those things and gone someplace warm in the summer. Guys want to WIN and the Oilers have been perpetually mediocre for the last 3 seasons, with no significant signs of hope. If I hear one more person say that Horcoff or Gagner are ready to be number one centers I'll scream. To me we'd be better off to do what LA and Chicago have done...build a better younger core (which does NOT include Nilsson, Schremp or Pouliot), then gun for some experienced stars in a year or two. Maybe by then they'll actually want to come.

A monkey with a learning disability could have figured out that MacT should have been fired years ago. AND, if he had the stones to do it in the middle or start of the season the year could possibly have been saved.

For the most part, there wasnt a problem in Net last year. Goaltending wasnt the reason the Oilers missed the playoffs yet again.
In 1 yr as GM he has done nothing of note that wasnt common sense. Sign one of the best 2 goaltenders available in free agency and fire a coach that should have been fired a long time ago. The further we get from his yr end speech the less enthusiasm i have about Tambi's abilities.

sure, for Hossa, obviously not for Havlat or Cammalleri
@ Jonathan Willis: Sure it be nice if we had that gritty two way winger back. But that doesn't solve the problem of having a sniper for next year. Remember we made the playoffs because of Van city losing their final game-the year we went to the final. Tambs is smart he'll do something to make us better and a change of guard behind the bench might help too.
Lets just hope that Tambellini puts this behind him, gives his head a shake and goes to work on the 5 areas this team still needs:
1) #1 Center (Sorry Horcs, but you just can't cut it)
2) #1 L Winger (as mentioned)
3) #3 Center (PK/Faceoff guy)
4) Solid stay at home #4-5 Dman. (35 year old Steve Staois just doesn't work anymore)
5) Someone LARGE on the 2nd line thats physical.
Going to be a long off season..
These last 48 hours have sucked rotten bananas.

Yeah, but we need to dump some useless salary (Penner, Nilsson) before we can go and sign guys all over the place. Don't forget what happened to Calgary at the end of last year when they had injuries and were up against the cap...we won't make the playoffs with only 17 guys in the lineup for games.
Archaeologuy, you are the type of fan who make it so players don't want to come here. One year and already jumping on the GM. The fans in this city just have zero patience and jump down the necks of people right away. How can some people say we should take the route of the Hawks, Kings, Pens, etc. and suck for a couple years to get draft picks, when they don't have the patience to let management have a single year to try to right the ship. Idiocy.
Trade for someone like Nash instead. He's having trouble getting an extension in Columbus. Maybe Tambo+Katz can meet his demands.
July 02 2009, 02:33AM
@ nullterm: If possible, I would love Nash, but I cannot see a deal being made for him this off season.
I also like Tanguay, but he is more of a passer than a scorer, and am not sure he would be a good fit with Hemmer. He has never scored 30 goals in an NHL season and although I like him, he cannot be a priority.

Im embarrassed to be an Oiler Fan today. When did the Edmonton Oiler fans become so cut throat? We are fighting amongst ourselves. Would you, as a player, want to come here if you saw this? Why get upset at Tambo when the real enemy here is time. Give Tambo a chance. Yeah it sucks what has developed with Heatley but do we know all the facts? NO. Tambo and Oiler management are doing EVERYTHING they can for this team to succeed. Have respect.
July 02 2009, 03:02AM
it was @ Archaeology not Kurr17
The thing that most strikes me as odd about this situation is the continued efforts by the oilers to get this deal finished despite the numerous sources implying that the deal is all but dead. I would think that Tambo can judge the intentions of a player fairly well by now, so if he had the sense that Heatley wanted nothing to do with the Oil he would have most likely moved on by now. The fact that he hasn't leaves me to believe that his meetings and correspondance with Heatly see to hint at a willingness to be Alberta bound...
July 02 2009, 04:59AM
Shaun Doe,
You make complete sense. There is almost an air of real confidence within these negotiations that give me more than a sliver of hope that The Oiler Brass can get this finished. Mostly because as you stated, " I would think that Tambo can judge the intentions of a player fairly well by now, so if he had the sense that Heatley wanted nothing to do with the Oil he would have most likely moved on by now. The fact that he hasn't leaves me to believe that his meetings and correspondence with Heatley see to hint at a willingness to be Alberta bound…". Katz, as a very successful business man and lover of The Oilers, would NOT invest his kind of money and allow Tambo to remain in charge if he did not feel he was a successful man himself.
Thank you Shaun Doe. Nice post! :-)
Tencers Blog "Source: Meeting went OK with the Oilers. It's more about Heatley trying put the screws to Ottawa."
This little tidbit Gave me another perspective.
Could it be true? Seeing how Tambo and Lowe are still being optimistic.

@ Ender the Dragon: J-S Giguere. One of Atlanta's goalies. Manny Fernandez. Craig Anderson. Josh Harding. Jaroslav Halak. Martin Biron. Anterro Niittymaki. He had some options, whether via trade or free agency. Where is Biron going to play now? Did Khabibulin really need four years? I can't know what his exact options off that list are, but I'll tell you one - I'm not convinced that Roloson for 2 years would be any worse than Khabibulin for 4. And Roli was much cheaper.
At 40 do you think Roli for 2 years is better. I have a feeling the wheels were coming off the Roli train. The one thing not represented in stats is the one cheesy goal per game after making 9 saves. Thats a .900 save percentage but there is no stat for hearbreaking goals. I don't think the term of Bulin's contact is great but he will be in KHL for the 2012-13 season.
Bullin is taking a 3 million dollar pay cut. So really not that bad of a deal for one of the number one guys...
Oilers should let Heatley go. Focus on others like Kotalik, and making a trade to Ottawa to get rid of Penner, for someone else.

|In response to Re: American Standard toilet makes random "pressure release" sound.
: Dear Terry and message board,
: My wife and I have a slightly less than 2-year-old home with new American Standard toilets with the 3142 valves. The toilets work great, and as far as I can tell do NOT leak. However, at random times they'll make a sound as though "releasing pressure."
: It's not a flushing sound, nor is it the same sound that happens when one forces the ball down to cause the valve to allow water into the tank. It's more of a very fast (and fairly loud "PFFFFFFFFFT" sound!)
: Is this "normal" for the American Standard toilet? Is it a sign of problems to come? We know this is happening on at least two new toilets...
: -Mike
The fill valve is most likely going bad. I had the same problem on my A/S Hamilton. I replaced the fill valve with a Fluidmaster 400 replacement valve & it works fine. A/S is still the best toilet maker in the business. Sometimes though, the stock fill valves they use are cheap.

By AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
You're behind the wheel... it's a hot day... you're late... traffic is heavy. Suddenly you're behind someone setting a new standard for bad driving. Next it's stop and go past six guys leaning on shovels and staring into a hole at another road construction project. Guess who's suddenly upset.
Today's crowded highways often bring frustration, especially when we're hurrying to get somewhere on time. Usually, we just live with it, but sometimes we find these driving annoyances actually making us angry. That's road rage, and it's something that increases our driving risk.
For most of us, The term "road rage" usually means the extreme cases the media like to report - angry driving resulting in speeding, a serious accident or even worse. Thankfully, such reactions are very rare. However, much more common is the everyday occurrence of slowly getting angry over someone's bad driving or the delays of a traffic jam. But even mild road rage anger can present a real danger to you, your passengers and other innocent drivers.
Anger comes when something is interfering with our progress toward a desired goal, whether on the road or in other situations in life. This anger affects both our minds and our bodies, and can directly interfere with our judgment and ability to drive safely.
What's happening is an automatic response to a stressful situation. It's your body taking action to protect you â the "fight or flight" reaction inherited from our prehistoric ancestors.
It starts with your muscles tightening and your circulatory system contracting. Your blood pressure rises, your skin becomes flushed, your pupils dilate and your digestive system shuts down. Your body has prepared itself to deal with that stressful situation. You're ready to either fight or run away. While that was a helpful response for our ancient ancestors suddenly facing a large, threatening beast, for a driver today simply stuck in traffic, it's an automatic reaction we want to control. And, fortunately, that can be done.
Start by reminding yourself that what's happening is not your fault and is outside your control. Yelling, calling names and making rude gestures won't improve the driving skills of that driver randomly changing lanes in front of you. Steam coming out of your ears will not make that construction project magically disappear. Recognize that what's happening on the road isn't personal. That bad driver isn't driving terribly just to upset you. That traffic jam isn't happening just because you're in your car.
Rather than wasting energy trying to change things over which you have no power, use your energy in ways that benefit you. When you can't control the things upsetting you (that bad driver, that traffic backup), instead control your own reactions in order to protect yourself and your health.
Start with those tight muscles. Actively try to relax them. Taking several deep breaths actually will help. At the same time, attempt to physically relax them. Concentrate on one muscle group, such as one leg, and consciously relax those muscles. One way is to first intentionally tighten the muscles, hold it for a second or two, and then relax that muscle group. Work through the various muscle groups in your body, trying to get each to a more relaxed state.
You also want to regain control of your mental focus. Turn on your car radio or CD player and make a conscious effort to focus on what you're hearing. Instead of stewing about that bad driver or the traffic jam, pay attention to that song or what's being said on the radio.
Letting your anger take control leaves you less alert in relation to your driving and traffic situations that can occur suddenly. Consciously relaxing muscles and focusing more on the radio or that CD provides a controlled mental focus that isn't just about the frustration you're feeling.
For most of us, just these small steps to control anger can make us better, safer drivers. However, if you find your anger is hard to control, or that you're getting angry in a variety of situations, there may be bigger issues. You might want to check out relaxation training or a stress and anger management course for a healthier, happier you.

Debit Cards » Best Prepaid Debit Cards »Debit cards are differentPrevious1 of 5Next
Debit Cards » Best Prepaid Debit Cards »
You shop, you swipe your debit card and your account info is off to make quite a few stops.
First, the reader at the point of sale decodes the debit card data.
From there, your purchase information gets sent to the merchant's bank.
The merchant's bank connects the store to the payment network your card runs on, like Visa or MasterCard.
Next, the payment network sends the purchase info to your bank for authorization. The bank verifies and checks that you have enough money to make the purchase.
If you've got enough, your bank approves it and deducts the purchase amount from your account, adding the charge to your statement.
The merchant's bank gets a green light and your purchase is complete.
There's a good chance you'll be using your debit card for travel, gift shopping or going out with loved ones. But especially with the uneven implementation of chip card systems, there are still risks involved with debit card usage you may not be aware of.
While debit cards and credit cards may look the same, there's a major difference. If you spot unauthorized charges on your credit card bill, you can alert the company, decline the charges and not pay the bill, keeping your money safe. With a debit card, your money instantly disappears from your checking account.
Because of that, even clear-cut cases of fraud where victims are protected from liability by consumer protection laws can cause significant hardship, says Frank Abagnale, a secure-document consultant in Washington, D.C., and subject of the popular film "Catch Me If You Can."
He cites the example of The TJX Cos. Inc.'s T.J. Maxx data breach that exposed the payment information of thousands of customers in 2007. The incident resulted in $150 million in fraud losses, and most of it was pulled directly from customers' bank accounts. While credit card users got their accounts straightened out and new cards in the mail within a few days, the case created huge problems for debit card holders, who waited an average of 2 to 3 months to get reimbursed, Abagnale says.
While debit card fraud is always a possibility, being careful where you use it can help keep your checking account balance out of the hands of thieves. Here's where to be on your guard when using a debit card this holiday season.
FREE CREDIT SCORE: Are you a victim of fraud? Keep an eye on your credit with free tools from myBankrate today.
The idea that outdoor ATMs are among the most dangerous places to swipe a debit card seems a little bit absurd. But some ATMs present the perfect opportunity for thieves to skim users' debit cards, says Chris McGoey, a security consultant based in Los Angeles.
Skimming is a method of capturing a bank customer's card information by running it through a machine that reads the card's magnetic strip. Those machines are often placed over the real card slots at ATMs and other card terminals.
"Any transaction you do outdoors at an open ATM is going to be higher risk exposure," McGoey says. "If the public has access to it, then someone has the ability to add skimming devices to it, position cameras on it and position themselves in a way where they could surveil it."
He says you're better off using an ATM inside a retail outlet or other high-trafficked, well-lit place.
Julie Conroy, research director for the retail banking practice at Aite Group, a Boston-based financial services research firm, says even the card terminals that card users must swipe to get into ATM vestibules are being used as a skimming site by criminals. You can spot ATM skimmers by checking for ATM components that look beat-up or askew, she says.

Gas stations are another danger zone for debit card use.
"You go to a gas station and you stick your debit card in there, and you swipe it through a machine," Abagnale says. "I'm sitting across the street with a laptop and an antenna. I put a skimmer in there, and I'm picking up all the information. Before you even get home, I've debited your account."
Gas station payment terminals have many of the characteristics card fraudsters love, Conroy says.
"In a gas station where you do have a whole bunch of pay-at-the-pump kinds of things and minimal supervision, it's pretty easy for a bad guy to put a skimming device on and put a little pinpoint camera there and compromise debit cards that way," Conroy says. Thieves often use small cameras to capture footage of debit card users entering their PINs so they can have free access to their money.
She says even if the thief doesn't manage to get your debit card personal identification number, or PIN, from such a device, he still may be able to duplicate the card's magnetic strip and use it for "sign and swipe" Visa or MasterCard transactions.
With the high potential for fraud in pay-at-the-pump debit transactions, it might make sense to use an alternative such as cash or credit cards the next time you fill up.

Debit cards are a convenient way to buy products online, especially for those who don't like to use credit cards. Unfortunately, the web is one of the most dangerous places to make purchases, Conroy says.
"Online is the No. 1 place where consumers should not use their debit cards," she says. "It's susceptible at so many points. The consumer could have malware on their computer, so it could be at their endpoint that the data get compromised. It could be a man-in-the-middle attack where somebody is eavesdropping on their communications via the wireless network. And then at the other end, that data goes into a database at the merchant. As we've seen with some of the higher-profile breach events ... that data is going to be vulnerable if (they're) not properly cared for."
Aside from the potential for hacking at many different points in a transaction, Abagnale says a fundamental problem with using debit cards online is it's impossible to know who is handling your information.
"Buying stuff online, you have to be careful because you have to know who you're doing business with. When you buy things online, what always kills me about that is people say, 'This is a safe site,'" Abagnale says. "Who works there?"
FREE TOOL: Are you at risk of being a fraud victim? Monitor your credit reports right now using free tools at myBankrate.
"Would you care for a side of debit card fraud with that?"
Restaurant servers don't ask that question, but they might as well with the standard practice of taking customers' debit cards to run them behind closed doors.
"Any place where the card is out of hand" can increase the chances of fraud, says McGoey. "The guy comes to your table, takes your card and disappears for a while, so he or she has privacy," giving that person the opportunity to copy your card information.
Even restaurants without sit-down service can present a threat. Conroy says using debit cards to order delivery can be risky because cashiers tend to keep customer payment information on file. That may make future orders more convenient, but small businesses rarely take the steps necessary to safeguard payment information, she says.
Overall, regardless of whether you use your debit card at a small restaurant or a big-box store, Conroy says the possibility of fraud is always there. She cites the 2011 example of Michaels Stores, which saw its customers' debit card information stolen by debit card terminals doctored by thieves.
"Even if you do exercise caution … there are still the Michaels-type incidents that will happen," Conroy says.

Gorgeous pump
"This shoe is beautiful. The leather is soft and the pump appears well made. I bought it in black. I ordered it in a 8.5 and I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 in Prada. The length was fine but the toe box was cramped. I said it fit slightly narrow but the heel area was fine. I thought they were comfortable because the heel is substantial and it has the hidden platform. However, my pinky toe made them impossible to keep."
