Antonia Praun's six months in America have come to an end. She is a foreign exchange student from Austria who studied at Emery High School this past semester. She lived at the home of Glenda and Kyle Hansen in Huntington.
Her new family recently gave her a going away party and from the turn out of friends and family to see her off, she truly has become part of the community. Friends were sad to see her return to her home in Austria. But, of course her family who came to pick her up were delighted to have their daughter back.
Antonia flew to San Francisco to meet her parents and then they drove back together to Emery County seeing the sights along the way. They visited the Grand Canyon and other parks arriving in Huntington, where the family was treated to a trip to the Wedge and sightseeing around the area.
In school, Antonia was active in track and a great student always anxious to learn new things. In June, she went with her youth group to the Martin's Cove area of Wyoming on a hand cart trek. Antonia really enjoyed the pioneer experience along with making new friends along the way. She said she originally went along on the trip for her sister, Ariel Halton, who was going and Antonia wanted to be with her, but she said in the end the trip was really about her and discovering new things and new adventures. Ariel isn't her real sister, but the six months they have spent together has formed a real bond between the two teenage girls and their families.
A bond not soon to be broken as Ariel has plans to visit Antonia in Austria and Antonia would like to return to the United States to attend college in the future.
Antonia's parents are Irene and Heiner Praun from Graz, Austria. This is the second largest city in Austria and is in the southeastern part of Austria. Heiner said, "Graz is located near the Adriatic Sea. They grow a lot of wine grapes there and it isn't as cold as much of Austria. You can't ski there. We have to go about a 100 miles to ski. It is an old city with an old heritage and many reminders of World War II. Culture is very important to the people of Austria.
"Many of the people of Austria were sympathetic to Germany during World War II. But, after the war Austria became very independent. The next generation is always fighting with their parents and wondering why they supported Hitler. We now have a Democratic Republic, with a president who has a small representation and a prime minister who is the general director of the republic. Vienna is a very historic city too. When World War I was lost, Austria became a much smaller country than it was. Vienna was the capital of Europe from the 1600-1900s. Vienna has 2 million people. The Habsburg dynasty led the country and Europe as they had many daughters who married important people in other countries. One of the daughters married Napoleon. Their dynasty was over in 1918 and since then Austria has been a Democratic Republic.
"My wife, Irene is a teacher at a high school. We have a son, Maximilian who is 20 years old and studying law. In Austria, they have smaller families now. During the war and after the war the families were bigger. I have four sisters. But, now the average family size is 1.3.
"I like big families. It is good to see the bigger families here in Utah. I am the only one in my family that stayed in Austria. They have gone to Sweden, Paris and Germany. During the 50s and 60s, Austria was a very poor country and many people left to earn money and they just stayed away. But, all of them would love to come home. My mother is 93 years old and last year she traveled to Florida alone on a cruise.
"I am a businessman, a consultant. It is a small company that deals with roller shutters, blinds and awnings. Our country is very interested in energy efficiency. They are very worried about global warming and they take it serious. All of the new buildings are very energy efficient and have reduced energy usages by as much as 50 percent.
"Antonia wanted to go abroad so she could learn English and we were open to the idea, but she is only 16 years old. It was necessary for her to go this year and it wasn't possible to wait or her chance would be over. It was a week before Christmas when we received the name of the family where she would be going. I talked to Glenda on the phone and I just thought she's OK and Antonia would be fine with their family. But, when that plane left taking my child away for six months without much contact, it was hard. I found Utah on the internet, but it looked like gray mountains and desert. It is so beautiful now that we are here and see it in person.
"We have been really impressed with our tour around the country and here in Emery County. The landscape, the colors, the mountains, I just couldn't imagine, it's really impressive.
"All the way here, Antonia was telling us about everyone and the country. She has really loved her time here in America. It has been a positive experience for her and positive for us too since we've been here. After she got here our communication was through email and I knew after the first three emails that she would be just fine. The family was OK, the school was OK, she's had no problems. When she called me on my birthday, she suggested we come and pick her up and see some of the country. It is so good to see Antonia again," said Heiner.
Antonia may be gone for now, but her special spirit of friendship will long linger in the hearts of those who have come to know and love this unique girl.

Well, you don't see this every day. Winnipeg put up a converted touchdown on the Panthers this evening, and without question the most astonishing moment was the Jets' 4th goal, when a bit of timely defensive work by Blake Wheeler turned some Florida pressure into this:
Beauty. Bryan Little will never score an easier goal, and good job that he finished it, too, because they were coming right at my end of the rink, and I can guarantee you there wasn't going to be anyone back to defend if he missed.

- » CNBC explains: REO
- » CNBC explains: Underwater mortgages
A fast rise in U.S. home prices has some in the housing market murmuring the dreaded "B" word.
New numbers out this week only add to that "bubble" hypothesis. The nation's top 10 and top 20 market composites on the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index recorded their highest annual growth rates since May 2006—up 8.6 percent and 9.3 percent respectively. (What is the Case-Shiller Home Price Index? Click here to read CNBC's explainer.)
"It is a solid rebound," said S&P's David Blitzer in an interview on CNBC. "I would not call it a bubble, but I'll admit a bubble is one thing you don't see when you're in it. You only see it after it occurs."
Looking back on the index, the biggest home price jumps were in 2004 and 2005, when values were up as high as 16 percent annually. Those prices were fueled by cheap and easy credit, which certainly does not exist today. They were also fueled by speculators who bought and flipped homes at a fast clip, putting no skin of their own in the game.
The concerns today are in certain local markets where gains in home prices look meteoric. In Phoenix, home prices rose 23 percent from a year ago, on the S&P/Case-Shiller index, but you have to put that in perspective. From the peak of the housing boom to the trough in August of 2011, home prices there fell a whopping 56 percent. They are still down over 40 percent from that peak, despite double-digit percentage gains.
On the other hand, some markets are nearly back to their housing boom peaks, only because they didn't boom all that much back then. Dallas home prices fell 9 percent peak-to-trough and are now just 2 percent below their peak in April of 2007. Does that make Dallas a bubble market and not Phoenix?
It all depends, again, on what is driving the gains. Dallas, and much of Texas for that matter, is seeing strong employment growth and an influx of companies and workers to the state. Phoenix is seeing a better employment picture, but the gains in home prices can be attributed largely to investors who came in and bought up an enormous supply of distressed properties. Phoenix was foreclosure-central due to heavy overbuilding during the housing boom.
The difference this time around is that the investors are not flipping homes, they are holding them to rent. They are also using mostly cash, and therefore they have all their skin in the game.
The reason prices are rising so fast? There is very little to buy and demand is coming back. Inventories are down significantly across the nation and even in the supposedly busy spring season fewer new listings are coming on than the normally do this time of year.
"From my perspective prices have not gotten out of line with incomes yet," said Eric Belsky of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. "When you look at the extent to which prices fell and they've come back, while some of the double digit gains are sort of eye popping, both the fundamental price to income level and when you layer in mortgage interest rates, I don't see any market being that frothy or that inflated now."

After two failed attempts, the Stormers finally got their first win of the Super Rugby season after beating the Chiefs 36-34 at Newlands.
After two failed attempts, the Stormers finally got their first win of the 2013 Super Rugby season after beating the Chiefs 36-34 at Newlands on Saturday.
In a tight arm-wrestle, the hosts held off a late fightback from the defending champions to deposit four valuable points in the bank – despite being outscored four tries to three.
However, the boot of Stormers full-back Joe Pietersen ultimately proved the difference between the two sides and kept the home side ahead throughout a thrilling contest.
The hosts struck first through Pietersen, who was on hand once again to convert the Stormers opening try of the match when discarded Springbok speedster Gio Aplon came off his wing to take an Elton Janjties pass from close range to score.
Chiefs full-back Gareth Anscombe got his name on the scoresheet with a penalty of his own to close the gap slightly, before Pietersen added his second three-pointer moments later to steal back the Stormers' 10-point lead.
The vocal Newlands crowd were then silenced when the Chiefs hit back in typical fashion when centre Charlie Ngatai regathered a grubber kick ahead from Aaron Cruden for a well-earned try after sustained pressure on the Stormers line.
Anscombe's conversion made it a three-point (13-10) ball game, though the Chiefs could only watch helplessly as Pietersen's third penalty attempt sailed through the uprights in the 27th minute.
A yellow card to Chiefs halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow eight minutes from half-time handed three more points to the Stormers on a silver platter from the ensuing penalty and all of a sudden the hosts were once again in a reasonably comfortable lead (19-10).
But with half-time approaching, the defending champs hit back with another excellent and crucial converted try through centre Tim Nanai-Williams after collecting Cruden's stab through ahead (19-17).
The Stormers would have the final say before the break, however, when Aplon crossed over for his second try – converted by Pietersen – to take his team into the half-time sheds 26-17 ahead.
The second half belonged the Chiefs early on after the visitors were restored to 15 men and Anscombe punished a Stormers infringment to put his team back within six points (26-20).
But Stormers scrum-half Nic Groom soon brought the 37,000-strong crowd to their feet when he burrowed over for his first ever Super Rugby try that was duly converted by goal-kicking machine Pietersen (33-20).
Down but not out, the visitors were given a glimmer of hope when Ngatai bagged his second and replacement back Andrew Horwell crossed over for their respective converted scores in between another Pietersen penalty.
With just two points between the two sides, the Chiefs threatened to snatch a late victory. But when Nick Crosswell was yellow-carded in the 74th minute, the Stormers were able to contain the 14-man Chiefs and see out the rest of the match for a well-earned victory.
The scorers:
For Stormers:
Tries: Aplon 2, Groom
Cons: Pietersen 3
Pens: Pietersen 5
For Chiefs:
Tries: Ngatai 2, Nanai-Williams, Crosswell
Cons: Anscombe 4
Pens: Anscombe 2
Yellow card: Kerr-Barlow (Chiefs, 32 mins), Crosswell (Chiefs, 74mins)
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jean de Villiers (c), 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Deon Fourie, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Pat Cilliers, 18 Don Armand, 19 Nizaam Carr, 20 Dewaldt Duvenage, 21 Peter Grant, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.
Chiefs: 15 Gareth Anscombe, 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Tim Nanai-Williams, 12 Charlie Ngatai, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Liam Messam, 7 Sam Cane, 6 Tanerau Latimer, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Craig Clarke (c), 3 Ben Afeaki, 2 Mahonri Schwalger, 1 Pauliasi Manu.
Replacements: 16 Hika Elliot, 17 Ben Tameifuna, 18 Michael Fitzgerald, 19 Nick Crosswell, 20 Augustine Pulu, 21 Andrew Horrell, 22 Patrick Osborn.

The Ottawa Options
Jonathan Willis
January 11 2009 01:11PM
Ottawa-Edmonton rumours have been the norm this season, although they seem to have intensified the last little while, at least in the Ottawa papers. On the other hand, I haven't seen much on either of these in the Edmonton papers, which could mean that a) the Edmonton media have missed the boat/are keeping quiet, b) I haven't been paying close enough attention, or c) this rumour really doesn't have much in the way of legs just yet. Knowing the Ottawa media, I'd go with option (c), but anything's possible. In any case, here are the links and excerpts.
There are, however, fresh rumours that Spezza could be traded to the Edmonton Oilers for a package of players that includes centre Shawn Horcoff and perhaps a skilled defenceman.
The Edmonton Oilers are eyeing the Ottawa Senators for help at centre, but their No. 1 choice might not be Jason Spezza. While league sources say the Oilers have a mild interest in Ottawa's top centre, the man Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini really wants is Mike Fisher. Fisher has been struggling this season with only three goals in 35 games going into last night, after scoring 23 last season. But the 28-year-old isn't one of the players the Senators are looking to move -- despite his struggles and contract, an average of $4.2 million US for the next five seasons. The Oilers wouldn't rule out bringing in Spezza, but his seven-year, $49-million contract is tough to take on. Plus, Edmonton would prefer to add a hard-nosed player such as Fisher, who has a no-movement clause in his contract until the end of the 2009-10 season.
The problem with these rumours is that there should be some real doubts about how much authenticity there is to them (unless Gregor or Brownlee chip in below with verification, of course). Warren doesn't say where his sources are coming from, and while to my knowledge he isn't a rumour-monger, he could just be borrowing from somebody like Garrioch.
The problem with trusting Garrioch is that his rumour authenticity threshold is lower than pretty much any other print journalist in Canada. He's not quite in the Eklund range, but he's the closest thing you'll find in a newspaper. So please, consider these caveats before putting much faith in either of the two aforementioned possibilities.
With that in mind, let's take a statistical look at how these players have performed over the past three seasons. First, the traditional numbers:
Jason Spezza
Mike Fisher
The first thing that I think, looking at those numbers, is that neither of these players is ever likely to do worse than they have this season, statistically. In other words, both guys are at as low a value as they'll ever be; so if there's a time to trade for either, now is the time.
Next, let's look at where each player has ranked among forwards on his team in Quality of Competition:
2006-07: Fisher (4th), Spezza (7th)
2007-08: Spezza (3rd), Fisher (4th)
2008-09: Fisher (2nd), Spezza (6th)
Followed by Quality of Linemates:
2006-07: Spezza (1st), Fisher (11th)
2007-08: Spezza (2nd), Fisher (5th)
2008-09: Spezza (1st), Fisher (7th)
Now, these rankings don't show everything; for example, in 2007-08 the drop-off from 2nd to 5th in linemate quality was huge. Over the past three seasons, Jason Spezza has consistently played with Heatley and Alfredsson, and the biggest concern with him (outside of his salary) is that he's riding on coattails. Those are three terrific offensive players, and Spezza's had the luxury of playing with them against second-tier opposition (save in 2007-08, where they were used in a more power-vs.-power role).
Fisher, in contrast, has been used in a checking role, most often with poorer teammates, and has posted declining numbers as the Senators organization has fallen from prominence. I'd strongly suspect that on a good team, his numbers would rebound tremendously.
Cap hit is an issue for both players. Spezza is signed for 7-million a season until 2014-15, while Fisher will earn 4.2-million a season until 2012-13.
As for what I think, I've personally always thought that if a team gets a chance to snag a player with Spezza's incredible offensive instincts, they take it. I've backed away from that recently, for a number of reasons, but the foremost is because I think he's the third-best player on his own line, and I don't think he can handle minutes against top competition. Let's look at some of Spezza's underlying even-strength numbers this season, with and without Alfredsson and Heatley.
With Both: 18GF/14GA, 305SF/249SA
With One of the Two: 5GF/9GA, 207SF/256SA
With Neither: 3GF/6GA, 41SF/53SA
Of the three players on that line, Daniel Alfredsson is pretty clearly the difference maker; Heatley's numbers are even worse without Alfredsson than Spezza's. I really don't think that Spezza is the solution going forward.
As for Mike Fisher, in my opinion he's a very similar player to Shawn Horcoff. He's defensively responsible and plays against top guns, while bringing a better physical game. At the same time, he doesn't have nearly as good an offensive track record as Horcoff, although that's off-set to some degree because he hasn't played with Ales Hemsky either. There's another concern with Fisher too –- his injury record, which is as follows:
Nov. 19, 2008 – Right knee injury, missed 2 games
Oct. 4, 2008 – Groin injury, missed 2 games
Apr. 4, 2008 – Left knee injury, missed 5 games
Dec. 15, 2007 – Abdominal strain, missed 2 games
Dec. 28, 2006 – Left knee injury, missed 14 games
Mar. 18, 2006 – Right ankle sprain, missed 9 games
Oct. 11, 2005 – Shoulder strain, missed 4 games
Dec. 30, 2003 – Right elbow injury, missed 25 games
Oct. 31, 2003 – Right elbow injury, missed 33 games
Apr. 9, 2003 – Dislocated left shoulder, missed final 5 games of the season
Jan. 3, 2003 – Knee injury, missed 2 games
May 10, 2002 – Back injury, missed 2 games
Mar. 9, 2002 – Shoulder injury, missed final 19 games of the season
Feb. 9, 2002 – Shoulder injury, missed 5 games
Nov. 4, 2000 – Left shoulder injury, missed 22 games
I think (if Garrioch is correct) Tambellini's right to put a high value on Fisher. Depending on the cost to acquire him (Tom Gilbert, perhaps), he could definitely help this team right now and for some time to come. The question is whether his body can hold up over the long haul, and how he fits in at centre long-term. As it is currently, one of Shawn Horcoff, Andrew Cogliano or Sam Gagner will either be moved or converted to the wing at some point; if the latter two develop as expected there won't be enough ice-time or cap space to have all three down the middle. Mike Fisher would cloud the issue further.
Still, as far as short-term solutions go, Fisher is a very good one.
January 11 2009, 01:35PM
are you f-ing kidding me? MIKE FISHER??? how many players exactly like him do the oil have, or have had, in the last 8 years? i am so sick of our GM(s) coveting these middling grinder types.
i'm not saying spezza is the answer to the oilers woes, but it would sure be nice to have a legitimate scoring threat beyond hemsky (or at least have the GM interested in acquiring one).
we need less horcoff/pisani/peca/glencross/stoll/fisher and more spezza/hossa/hemsky.
January 11 2009, 01:40PM
JSBM are reporting a rumour of Dany Heatley for Steve Staios a 7th round pick and 6 rolls of stick tape.
Damn your smarts, Willis. You're making the rest of us look bad.
I talked to Bruce G this morning. He admits he didn't get the Fisher stuff directly from the Oilers or the Sens, but that the person who told him is in-the-know and reliable. Garrioch also stressed it's unlikely the Sens will trade Fisher.
So, not the faceoff help we need, nor a top 3 forward and a $4m cap hit? No, thanks. This team needs to address specific needs, not throw darts at a board. That being said, I doubt there's much in this rumor.
January 11 2009, 02:15PM
Now if he is traded are the Oilers "a team still in transission" what sad about this comment is that Fred Stauffer has even MacT saying this is a team in transission. MacT do the hounerable thing and resign, take your post as asst. to K-Lowe and lets get into the playoffs. Quinn is going to go if Lowe doesn't act soon. yes Lowe is still in charge, otherwise I think Tambilini might have canned MacT after the first 20 games. Give up the Pepsi boys and quit living in the past, your best was not good enough 8 years into this. How many points would Hossa have if MacT was coaching? He would be like Sykora? Satan? Whitney? ETC? . MacT can't coach skill plain and simple, we are going to lose this season. Now with Hemsky and Stortini hurt MacT has an excuse, I guess the Gods must be smiling on him.
Horcoff takes all the left side draws. He kills penalties. He is on PP unit #1. If Horcoff is moved for Spezza the Oilers will be a worse team in the short term, and better going into next season if the right moves are made over the summer. Hemskey with Spezza. Gagner with Cole. We would need to move Cogliano for a character center to win faceoffs and kill penalties and generally do what Horcoff should be doing. I doubt Cole will be interested in staying unless we can grab someone like Spezza before July 1. It would be nice to get Deslaurier some games...
January 11 2009, 02:36PM
@ Chris:
I can't see them moving Cogs unless it's part of an out of this world deal. I would prefer to see Nilsson leave if anything.
@ baggedmilk: I like Cogs also. But if Horcoff is gone for Spezza, the third line center needs to fill these important roles.
@ baggedmilk:
I agree - but cogs as part of a deal for Spezza. Cogs for Fisher would be foolish. To get something good you have to give up on a few good players.
January 11 2009, 03:13PM
My big problem with Spezza is that you need to move Horcoff to get him, and there isn't anybody in the wings to fill Horcoff's role.
Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano aren't close; and I'd argue either is more likely to fill a Spezza role in the next three years than a Horcoff role.

Lets stop dreaming,this team needs more than a oil change, it needs a complete engine over haul, yet no one seems to give a crap, not katz,k-lowe,tambo,mac t or the players.The only people who care are the fans, I know what im going to do tonight, If we start losing I will boo and join in on the fire Mac t chants like last game,what other options do we as fans have?

Give up the Pepsi boys and quit living in the past, your best was not good enough 8 years into this. How many points would Hossa have if MacT was coaching? He would be like Sykora? Satan? Whitney? ETC? . MacT can't coach skill plain and simple, we are going to lose this season. Now with Hemsky and Stortini hurt MacT has an excuse, I guess the Gods must be smiling on him.

lets face it Mac T could turn the Red wings into a bottom feeder,This Oiler loyaltiy is a joke,they keep telling the players what it means to be a oiler and about the good old days, well last time I checked they won the cup 18 years ago and lets face it the year after we went to the final it wasnt Mac t who got us there it was pronger and pisani and roli it was the players and then when the season is over how many of them left? It wasnt just pronger,what about Peca,Samsonov,sykora,they would all still look good in Oiler silks, yet we let them all go its time Mac t K lowe bucky and Huddy leave enough allready
These teams certainly link up in terms of their respective strengths and weaknesses so I'd imagine it's down to the Sens really not wanting to throw the Fisher baby out with the bathwater plus the Oilers deciding which of 37-77 they decide to move.
I'd love to have Spezza. I don't know if he'd be the answer, but he could fill in for Stortini (a source close to MacT told me this E7). But, that is a bigtime cap hit for a guy who seems to lack intensity (like most of our team).

Horcoff or Spezza? I'll sign it right now, where's a pen?

Was this supposed to be a pro? Or con?
With Hemsky out of the line-up it has never been more obvious that we need to add another big time offensive guy. We look terrible right now, and worrying about some how replacing Horcoff would not be my concern.
January 11 2009, 05:37PM
You guys do realize that Shawn Horcoff and Jason Spezza are pretty much a wash right now in terms of offensive production- 33 points vs. 29- right now, right?
Spezza's nowhere near to being as good an allround player as Hemsky; and I'm very suspicious of his high-end offense given who was lining up on either wing.

....on bellamy hill.
@ TIM S: I know. Spezza has more offensive dimension than Horcoff. But Horcoff eats up huge minutes for this club. Horcoff kills penalties. He takes critical draws. If the Oilers were to grab a Spezza type center to play with Hemmer and take over time on PP#1 duties in exchange for Horcoff, then someone new will be required to play shutdown minutes against the toughest competition. Replacing these minutes IS a big deal. Our PK, and poor faceoff performance, and inability to shutdown quality competition five on five is what is costing this team wins. Cogliano is not a fourth liner, and his game doesn't translate on either wing, so if we pick up Spezza be prepaired to ditch either Cogliano or Gagner in a seperate deal to grab a quality two-way center. The real question is; with the way Horcoff is playing this year, does anyone want that contract?
January 11 2009, 08:32PM
I love the idea of Spezza coming to town the real center we should be looking to come here in addition of Spezza is Vermette. The man wins draws!!!! Also Malhotra out of CBJ. Guy wins draws!!!! P.S our C is Souray. That guy wearing the letter needs to be shipped the hell out for whatever we can get him for. He's a grinder that makes a bunch of money. Not only is he bad on the PK, i think he actually is on the payroll for other teams PP's with his over zealous puck pursuit and it's killing us. Guy needs to go!!!
@ Devin: Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .
RobinB. It has been 41 games and it is January. Is it time to make a desision yet? Are you still blaming McT. for not making trades and not calling up Shremp? Don't get me wrong McT. has to go but who is making this dessisions? K. Lowe! He is the one that has to go in the first plase!!! But you still love him!
@ RobinB: Not saying there is......
@ Chris:
I just think that when you have a chance to grab an offensive guy you do it. Right now Horcoff is showing his true colors, with out Hemsky he is not an offensive threat. Ideally I would love to see a scoring winger but there are not alot of those around either. If I have a chance to grab of the big name players that have been rumored to be available this year; Lecalvier, Kovalchuk, Heatley Spezza then i make that trade.
Hemsky would be a better player if he had someone to play with, that is a fact. Horcoff had done a better job since he developed his shot but he is not the guy, not if the other guy is Penner or any other left wing currently on the roster.
As far as faceoffs, pk and shut down minutes I worry about that in the offseason. That is a type of player that we could have a shot at thru free agency.
My fear is that there is a deal out there for the Oilers to make for a big time player that they are unwilling to make because they think they have a shot at Hossa, or Gaborik this summer.
@ Leonard: I love him? Is that right? Is that so?
An item from my column in today's Metro . . .
BILL OF GOODS? The focus on the Oilers shortcomings has been on the players and the way MacTavish has used them, but let's not forget the bigger picture. While Kevin Lowe has stepped back from day-to-day dealings since being named president of hockey operations, leaving Steve Tambellini to take over as GM, this is the team he built. Every player on the roster, with the exception of Ethan Moreau, arrived after Lowe took over as GM June 9, 2000. The collection of players here has been drafted on Lowe's watch, traded for or acquired by Lowe and signed to contracts with him calling the shots. With optimism abounding in pre-season, we were led to believe Tambellini was being handed the keys to a shiny new sports car and that fans were in for quite a ride. Instead, it looks like Tambellini's got a clunker in need of a full-scale rebuild. That falls on Lowe.

After years and years of excuses it's time to look at what we have: A crappy, boring, NHL franchise that is going to miss the playoff AGAIN. And a crappy boring AHL affiliate that is going to miss the playoffs... Nice legacy LOWE!
Sorry. Poor comment on my part. I Love the franchise... Just unhappy with the way the current edition is competing.
I almost wish those 'horcoff+ for Brad Richards' rumours were still swirling around the bowl... at least he was the 2-way, defensively responsible option...
Its kinda funny because people would argue about Brad Richards contract being too much or discrediting his offensive capacity.. yet now its all about complaining about spezza's contract being too much or discrediting his defensive capacity... So there is all this AND NOW as horcoff will be making 5.5, instead of the 3.6, the 'ditch the 3rd liner' retoric intensifies the appeal of a trade.. (hehe, now horcoff makes too much)
What does it all equate... who would want a horcoff that makes too much?! Horcoff and his contract, and his 'abilities', are here to stay... Yeaa...
PS. if trading for spez, also get vermette.. cheers...

Newtown: Something must be done!
OK, we know the strong, political power of the gun advocates. We have heard all their arguments, all their defenses, all the so-called patriotism, ad infinitum. But, really, do we have to listen to these people who have special, often selfish interests cloaked in patriotism? When is it time to have an honest and open discussion about the proliferation of guns in the U.S.?
There is no need to list the ongoing examples of human carnage caused by guns in the U.S. No other industrialized Western society has as many guns as the U.S., no other industrialized Western society has as many gun-related murders. And the list of such gun-related slaughters goes on. Yet we pass more legislation giving guns a sacred place in our society. One can now carry a concealed weapon in some states into any building or meeting where there is not a specific notice at the entry about prohibiting concealed weapons. Are we nuts? The U.S. has 5% of the world's population, and 50% of the world's guns. Repeat: are we nuts?
Using the U.S. Constitution as a defense for such gun craziness is done through selective ignorance. Lots of things were done in 1776 that are today prohibited. Women could not vote in 1776. Black people could not vote in 1776. There were no regular police forces in most American communities. People hunted animals for food out of necessity in 1776. There were few schools in the U.S. in 1776. Slavery was legal in 1776, indeed some of our Founding Fathers owned slaves. Even some courts made decisions against "witches" in the U.S. in 1776. Guns held an entirely different place in American society in Colonial America. Yet we go on as though the "gun guaranty" is the same today as in 1776. Get serious, please.
When will America come to grips with its gun insanity? How many children and minority people have to die at the altar of gun guarantees? How long can we allow the National Rifle Association to hold our nation hostage for the sake of guns? It is time to act!
In view of the ongoing gun carnage we should at least agree to have a serious, intelligent, civilized discussion about the place of guns in America society. We owe at least that much to the children who were slaughtered in many places in America by guns. Don't we owe it to our innocent children?

Fancy yourself a Greek god? Citizens of Humanity's latest installation at Fred Segal Finery, featuring the new Adonis jeans, might make you feel like you've got the perfect body wearing the world's most comfortable jeans. At least, Co-Founders Jerome Dahan and Adriano Goldschmied hope guys who wear these jeans will feel that way. The new Adonis fit "brings back the classic shape of a traditional slim fit adapted to embrace the stretchability of the ultra soft fabric."
Dahan and Goldschmied teamed up with Fred Segal Finery in Santa Monica to produce this display, featuring a hand painted slogan, Enjoy the comfort! against a stark white wall. A pair of the Adonis Fit jeans is "casually placed over a thrift store purchased chair to convey the marriage of ultimate comfort and the contemporary style of a slim jean." The installation is on display through June and July. If you live in Los Angeles, you've got dibs on the Adonis jeans. This new style will launch to global denim lovers this Fall.

The tournament's basement dwellers, the Kings and the Highlanders, will do battle in the weekend's final match in Port Elizabeth.
The tournament's basement dwellers, the Kings and the Highlanders, will do battle in the final match of the weekend, in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
The Kings will be determined to prove a point after they delivered a below par performance in last weekend's 72-10 defeat to the Waratahs.
This match could be a momentous one for Kings fly-half Demetri Catrakilis, who needs seven points to advance his season total to 100. If he achieves this, he will become the 10th player to reach a century of points in 2013.
Regular skipper Luke Watson will have plenty to prove in his return to the run-on side after playing off the bench in the Kings' previous two matches.
Watson returned to action in the Kings 34-0 loss to the Bulls in Round 10 and delivered a poor performance.
But Kings director of rugby Alan Solomons said he is back to his best after his spell amongst the replacements and expects him to make an impact against the Highlanders.
"We looked at ways to freshen things up generally," explained Solomons.
"With that in mind there have been some changes to the squad. Luke (Watson) comes through and I thought that was one of the big positives of the weekend.
"He played well and is back to full form and takes his position as captain."
In their loss to the Waratahs – and several other games this season – the Kings have not shown much creativity on attack and if they want to be successful in this match they will have to improve considerably in that aspect of their game.
After an eight-game winless streak, the Highlanders finally broke their duck for the season with a deserved 25-22 win over the Sharks in Dunedin last weekend.
That result was a tremendous boost to coach Jamie Joseph and his charges who will be high on confidence.
They showed great character in clinching that win and know that their season can only get better from their current position.
Throughout their poor run the men from Dunedin have stuck to their attacking game-plan.
Keep an eye on full-back Ben Smith, who despite his side's poor form has delivered top-class performances on a regular basis this season.
The All Black has the ability to tear any defence to shreds and if the Kings give him too much space he will exploit it.
Prediction: The Kings are like a wounded animal after that humiliating defeat to the Waratahs and should deliver a much improved showing this weekend. However, the Highlanders are brimming with confidence after claiming their first win and will have to much class for their hosts. Highlanders to win by eight points!
Kings: 15 George Whitehead, 14 Marcello Sampson, 13 Ronnie Cooke, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Siyanda Grey, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Cornell du Preez, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Luke Watson (c), 5 David Bulbring, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Kevin Buys, 2 Bandise Maku, 1 Schalk Ferreira.
Replacements: 16 Virgile Lacombe, 17 Grant Kemp, 18 Daniel Adongo, 19 Devin Oosthuizen, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 Shane Gates, 22 SP Marais.
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Tino Nemani, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Shaun Treeby, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 TJ Ioane, 7 John Hardie, 6 Jarrad Hoeata, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Liam Coltman, 17 Ma'afu Fia, 18 Mose Tuiali'i, 19 Joe Wheeler, 20 Fumiaka Tanaka, 21 Hayden Parker, 22 Jason Emery.
Date: Saturday, May 11

Unison receives order for largest all-electric pipe bender
Unison, Madera, Calif., has received an order from Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), a supplier of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of two shipbuilders of nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy, for an all-electric CNC machine capable of bending large-bore tubing and piping up to 8 in. dia. The machine will be the first and largest of its type ever built, the company reports, extending the shipbuilder's ability to fabricate larger-diameter pipes that previously could be bent only on very high-torque hydraulic machines.
The machine's bending axes will be driven by closed-loop servomotors under software control to facilitate fast setup and to provide accurate and repeatable bending performance. This automated approach eliminates operator error and the need to produce trial parts.
Under the terms of the order, the new machine will be equipped with Unison's laser-controlled springback measurement and correction system. This compensates automatically for the natural tendency of metal pipes and tubes to spring back slightly after being bent. It is scheduled to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Chrome Trim
Pillar Post Trim: Mirror-Bright Dress-Up For The Outside
While chrome trim has gone in and out of fashion on automobiles over the years, it's hard to deny the reason chrome always comes back into fashion is because it simply looks so good. Applied in just the right amount, chrome pieces can really make the lines of any car or truck pop. When most vehicles roll off the assembly line though, trim pieces around doors and windows are often found lacking - but with potential for easy improvement.

|BladeTape GOALIE Hockey Blade Grip Pads
Lowest Price Guarantee
The BladeTape Hockey Goalie Blade Grip Pads are a great choice for any goalie who is looking to get more performance and durability out of their blade. These grip pads bring a handful of advantages to the table over traditional cloth tape. The first one is longevity, these BladeTape Goalie Pads will last a minimum of 15 games while some users have reported much longer life spans. The high quality rubber construction allow goalies to get a better feel of the puck so that they can more accurately deflect shots to the location they desire.
The strategic bottomless edge design allows both ice and roller players to move their sticks more quickly without dragging grippy cloth tape, which in-turn increases reaction time. Even right out of the packaging, the BladeTape pads weigh less than the amount of cloth tape needed for a complete tape job, while ice hockey goalies really benefit from it's water and ice repelling properties. Installation is too easy, simply peel off the backing paper by using the pull tab and apply it to a clean, dry blade about 1/8" from the bottom. Ensure a good pat down by applying ample pressure on both the forehand and backhand pads, then you are all set!
- Includes:
- 1 - Forehand Goalie BladeTape Pad
- 1 - Backhand Goalie BladeTape Pad
- Construction:
- Patented Rubber Face and Ridge Pattern
- Repels away water and ice
- Provides better grip on the puck for stickhandling and shooting
- Acts as a shock absorber, offering an improved puck feel for deflecting shots
- Strategic Bottomless Design
- Allows goalies to react faster without drag from cloth tape on the blade's bottom

Skip to comments.Prediction: Someone Else will Swoop in, Nab GOP Nomination (Guess who he means?)
Posted on 02/01/2012 5:08:49 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
I will start this out by saying that I am usually wrong when I make political predictions (how did that Hillary Clinton-Rudy Giuliani face-off turn out in 2008?). But Ive been thinking about this for a while, and in the off chance that I happen to be right, I just want it on the record. So here goes
Mitt Romney will not be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. Neither will Newt Gingrich. And certainly not Ron Paul or Rick Santorum. No, the Republican candidate for president will be someone who isnt even a candidate for president right now. It will be someone who will swoop in and snatch the nomination away, much to the delight of Republican voters who wont much like the person who emerges with the most delegates from the primaries.
There are two ways this could go down -- one of the candidates, likely Romney, will have enough delegates to clinch the nomination by April or May. Thats plenty of time before the convention in late August for Republican leaders and their flock to determine that nobody really likes Romney and there is no possible way that he can beat President Obama. They will go looking for someone else.
Or that someone else, who is likely already working behind the scenes, will start talking publicly about Romneys unelectability, whipping Republican voters into such a frenzy that reluctant party leaders will be forced to go along and ask delegates to change their allegiance.
Remember, candidates used to be picked at conventions. The current system of the convention being a coronation for an already-chosen candidate is a relatively new phenomenon. This would be a throwback to days gone by.
Who might that someone be? Thats the hard part. It has to be someone big. It cant be Sen. Joe Nobody. It has to be someone known to voters, not someone who needs to introduce themselves to the nation for the first time. That doesnt leave many options.
The logical choice is Sarah Palin. She might already be laying the groundwork for such an operation. After she announced in the fall that she was not running, she pretty much disappeared. But now Palin is slowly coming back, making television appearances and talking about the election. In a telling strategy, she has not endorsed anyone. She has expressed some support for Gingrich but has been critical of Romney. Expect that to continue as he piles up delegates.
I dont think Palin could beat Obama, either, but she has a better chance than Romney. If anything she might excite and motivate Republicans to at least get and out vote and perhaps stop Democrats from taking back the House. Romney excites no one. Palin still has plenty of devoted followers, and she is just the type to go against the GOP establishment and attempt to pull this off.
Giuliani is another possibility. He is obviously known to everyone and is reasonably well-liked. Unfortunately, his big issue is terrorism and national security, and with Osama bin Laden dead and al-Qaeda severely weakened, Giuliani has lost his biggest selling point.
Jeb Bush? He might be a stronger candidate than Romney but I dont think anyone is clamoring for a third Bush in the White House.
With the economy still in shambles, New York City Mayor and mega-billionaire Michael Bloomberg is another possibility. But would Republicans trust a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, virulently anti-gun New Yorker who changes parties as often as he buys a new Bentley (he is now an independent after spending his life as a Democrat but switching to Republican for his three runs for mayor)?
There are other options out there that might emerge in the coming months, but whoever ends up being the Republican nominee, it will not be someone who is running right now. You heard it here first. Unless I am wrong, which is a definite possibility.
Ain't happenin'.
Sheer fantasy.
>> There are other options out there that might emerge in the coming months, but whoever ends up being the Republican nominee, it will not be someone who is running right now. <<
What a f****** idiot. No, there's no-one going to swoop in and save us from Romney... because the election has already started! You have to get on ballots, and that costs time and money, and the process is already completed for many states. Don't professional writers even bother to check out the laws before speculating on something like this?
If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses.
Not the Donald??
I'm all for it if it's Palin.
But a draft or brokered convention would more likely lead to someone like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie.
I'm betting on the lottery too. The odds are about equal.
I'm all for it if it's Palin.
But a draft or brokered convention would more likely lead to someone like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie.
I still think Sarah Palin will be riding in to save our bacon and fry it up in a pan
This is something that must be earned, not stolen.
Newt is trying to EARN America's respect.
Who is your pretender that she might slip in and steal it?
Mayor, the Christian and American hating, Bloomers? Right. That's the ticket! He can give a speech from the Victory Mosque at ground zero. But he'll need to ban the Chrisitans from coming.
Agreed. Sheer fantasy.
Newt/'Cuda 2012!!!!!!!!!! Sarah Keynote February 11 !!
No. It would piss off Republicans more than anything else to have a hard-won campaign, to only sweep it under the rug.
Unless Mitt is pulled out by May, that is who the GOP is going to run with, for better or worse.
I do not believe it will ever happen. We now have the only candidates we are going to have.
hes got an announcement tomorrow about the POTUS race
Reading this is like watching much of the national news on TV; pure speculation based on opinion and fantasy.
That is the way nominations were fought out for decades, so primary coronations be damned.
I won't vote for Bloomberg for anything, even if Obama is the other candidate.
better a Mormon than a Muzzie
Then it's clinched, right?
How does one swoop in and take away a clinched nomination? You only go to a brokered convention if nobody wins a majority by the time of the convention, right? Unless the winner of the primaries decides to drop out before the convention, I guess.
After the first ballot, a convention can make SpongeBob Squarepants the nominee.
Mitt and the White Horse Prophecy
The guy doesn't say how he thinks Newt will fall. Newt is red hot right now. He won't just wither away.
I dunno. If the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate their own Obamacare candidate, they are stupid enough to nominate Bloomburg.
First form a circle......
Unless someone changes the rules, which would signal open warfare, delegates are required to cast their vote for the designated candidate on the first ballot.
That would be it. Ballgame.
It is mathematically possible that Mitt and Newt could be so close in delegates that the balance of power would be held by Santorum and Paul. In that case we would have a brokered convention, as the first ballot would not yield a majority.
I'm afraid women do not like Sarah Palin, so she is unelectable.
Ridiculous. Romney is winning, fair and square.
About the only person he mentions as a possibility whom I could support is Sarah Palin.
But I simply cannot imagine that a brokered convention of Republican hacks would choose her.
I think the only way she could enter the race is with a new Second Party supported by the Tea Party, assuming that the GOP convention will probably come up with the worst possible candidate.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the GOP seems to be getting more and more and more resolute about committing suicide, if it possibly can.
I do think it's true that almost anything could happen this time around, because the Republican hacks are being exceptionally stupid this time—even worse than they have in almost every election over the past several decades—and the base simply will not put up with it again. Not with our country on the edge of destruction.
Well, we'll see. Meantime, keep praying for a good outcome.
Romney is acting like a girl who was just named homecoming queen. (looks like one too)
Which means he's a typical presstitute.
At a brokered convention, Palin would come in just after Joe Lieberman with the rank and file and the elites of the party. The Powers That Be have been ripping her for four years, they aren't going to pick her now.
So what? After what our system puts people through...he should gloat. And I am no Romney fan.
Why don't we just put them into the Thunderdome and be done with it.
Funny you should mention that. John McCain wanted Joe as his running mate in 2008 and had to be talked out of it by his staff. Then Bill Kristol talked up Sarah Palin.
as long as we are all prognosticating?
Do I dare mention no election this coming November 6th.
Hey, peeps have muttered about it for several presidents back, so maybe this will be the one where their worst fears come true.
I am not counting on it, but wouldn't be surprised, the way things are going.
She's not running!
We're of like minds. that's what made me think of him.
THEY allowed themselves to be put in "the thunderdome." and Romney set the tone. One would think that a grown man running for POTUS would have enough dignity not to cry to the American people that he didn't get a call from his opponent to congratulate him. After the slanderous filthy ad campaign in Florida used by Romney against Gingrich, he didn't deserve a call. But then again this is how liberals operate.
I would settle for Ryan.
Not gonna happen... the estabs have a plan to not get the indies too wound up against them so they have a chance to hold onto the House and maybe eke out a majority in the Senate.
They`ve written off victory in the Presidential "race," thus Romney.
Anyone who thinks a liberal New Yawka is going to swoop in and delight conservatives for the nomination has lost their ever loving mind.
Sarah Palin might be able to pull it off, but that would be assuming that Santorum or Paul could grab enough delegates and Newt win enough states to deny Romney the delegates needed to win outright.
That is a very big 'IF'.
I don't think it's going to happen.
from my reading in some states the delegates are not forced to vote for the candidate they 'belong to', actually some delegates will be chosen at a later date at state conventions! A few states anyway.
And after the first ballot they can do anything

The Eastfield Program
The Child Development/Teacher Education department at Eastfield College provides knowledge in the fields of education and child development. Courses offered are based on specific competencies that have been identified by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Texas Education Agency, employers and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Students learn through hands-on activities and observation in the college classroom, the Eastfield lab school, public schools and child care facilities. Associate degrees require successful completion of all parts of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Program as measured by a TSI approved exam.
Eastfield College offers two programs in Child Development: a two-year associate degree program as Child Development Associate and two one-year certificate programs: Administrative and Teaching Careers. The associate degree program provides an in-depth study of early childhood development, while the one-year certificate programs are designed to provide focused training necessary for working with young children.
The on-campus Children's Laboratory School, which provides care for children through age five, serves needs of both the college and community while providing a practicum for Child Development students. The center's developmental program incorporates a family-oriented philosophy in a multi-age setting. The Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The Center also provides low cost evening child care services for students while they attend classes. In the evening, the ages in care start with children who are 12 months old through school-age children from six through twelve years old.
The department offers several choices for students. A Child Development student may start by preparing for a nationally awarded Child Development Associate Credential, move on to earn one of five specialized certificates and then apply completed courses toward an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Child Development.
As high quality child care programs are increasingly demanded by the community, there are numerous programs which offer job opportunities for working with young children. Trained professionals are needed in day care centers, federal agencies, public and private schools, churches, hospitals, and programs sponsored by business and industry.
A student seeking a State of Texas teaching certificate may earn an Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) before moving on to a university to complete their training to earn an bachelor's degree.
A.A.S. Degree Requirements
The Associate of Applied Sciences in Child Development prepares students for careers with young children. Graduates include: head start teachers, directors, teacher aides, family advocates, parent educators, child specialists, and caseworkers. Course topics include: 16 courses in Child Development, English, Math, Government, Speech, Education and Humanities.
Certificate and Awards
Eastfield College offers two certificates that do not require successful completion of all sections of the TSI program. In order to pursue the two certificates, a student must pass the reading and writing sections of a TSI approved exam or complete the developmental course sequence for reading and writing.
Child Development Degrees and Certificates

USDA Joins National Hispanic Medical Association to Discuss Health in Latino Communities
As schools across the country were winding down for the summer, the conversation around school meals standards was heating up. School districts, parents, community members and Congressional representatives have engaged in an important discussion about the role of the new standards in our nation's National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Created to boost the health of our next generation, the standards encourage schools to get more creative and health-conscious about the food they serve to their students. Last month, USDA joined the National Hispanic Medical Association to reinforce this critical message.
During a Congressional briefing held by the National Hispanic Medical Association, dozens convened to learn how the Latino community was leveraging the new standards to support healthier lifestyles for their children. While the association focused on educational and healthcare institutions heightening awareness around nutrition programs, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service Western Regional Administrator, Jesus Mendoza, underscored the importance of healthy eating, emphasizing his experiences with the new standards in his region. "Since the passing of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act," Mendoza explained, "kids are eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, 90 percent of schools report that they are able to abide by the standards, more water is being offered to our children in cafeterias, and we're exposing kids to foods they've never seen or heard of before."

I was hoping. . .
"I was hopeful this shoe would work but no such luck. I wear a true 6.5M but it was too loose across the arch. And the almond shape toe is so exaggerated that there was way too much shoe above my big toe. It is even a bit narrow. If your big too is MUCH longer than your second, this might work for you."

After the biggest single-day drop in six years, the market for natural gas futures has slumped another 11% Tuesday morning.
Christian Berthelsen of the Wall Street Journal explains — and remember we're heading into an options expiry as well as the March futures-market expiry:
Natural gas prices plunged more than 11% in early trading Tuesday as the end to a brutal U.S. winter season approached and the March contract neared expiration, with traders taking the opportunity to square up books. …
"I think what we're seeing is liquidation of the contract ahead of expiration tomorrow," said Tom Saal, a broker at INTL FC Stone in Miami. "The weather eventually is going to moderate, and sooner or later the milder temperatures are going to push prices down."
Now here's the reason to think there's more pain ahead: During the commodity's Polar Vortex-infused surge, the market for longer-dated futures barely budged.
The attached chart from Goldman Sachs shows natural-gas futures maturing in 2015 didn't participate in the mid-February gains.
Here's Goldman's Samantha Dart, Jeffrey Currie, Daniel Quigley and Damien Courvalin on the subject in a Monday evening research note:

The Serenity Prayer. One Step Closer?
Several years ago when we first produced our biographical program on Reinhold Niebuhr, we did a considerable amount of research trying to verify the source of the Serenity Prayer and arrived at this understanding. Even Reinie himself questioned his inspiration.
For many others, the provenance of the oft-quoted verse remained uncertain, including Fred Shapiro, the Yale librarian who edits The Yale Book of Quotations. Skepticism reigned when it came to attributing the prayer to Niebuhr. But, with one graduate student's research, Shapiro's mind has been changed. With no clear-cut originating source, I'm sure most skeptics will never be fully comfortable proclaiming Reinie as the definitive source.
When we were producing this show, I planned on creating a way for people to submit photographs and descriptions of all the creative ways the Serenity Prayer has manifested itself in daily life — from home decor to bumper stickers, from church banners to working mottoes. I ran out of time. Perhaps this is a project worthy of reviving?

"I bought these recently on impulse because I wanted an alternative to tom-like slip-ons and casual flat sandals for the summer. When I received them I was very pleased with the color and fit. I haven't worn them all day yet but have worn them for short periods of time and have not had any issues. Great alternative to typical sandals or tennis shoes."

Sweet minty green
"I usually only buy shoes that have good reviews, but these did not have any reviews at the time of my purchase. I bought these for the color and I was not disappointed. The suede is beautifully saturated with color and soft to the touch. I went with my usual 7.5 and they fit in length. These shoes are on the narrow side and fit my average width but might be uncomfortable for wider feet. They are not as comfortable as I would have liked for sneakers which is why I only gave 4 stars. I have received multiple compliments when I wear these as they really bring a pop of color to my wardrobe."
