Jets Draft: Jets Acquire Michael Frolik for Picks

Unbelievably, the Jets made a trade at the draft!
Michael Frolik, LW
- 1988 Birthday (25 years old)
- 6'1", 198lbs
- Career stats: 349GP 61-90-151
- $2.33M for one more year, RFA rights subsequent
Frolik had an unusual season, scoring 10 points in 45 regular season games, and another 10 points in 23 playoff games. The best season of his career was his rookie season. He scored 127 of his 151 career regular season points with the Panthers in his first 3 seasons, but since being traded to Chicago, his role has been more defensive and the scoring has dried up. He was a 10th overall pick back in 2006, and was acquired for a 3rd (74) and 5th (134) this year. He's an NHL quality player coming to a team without a full compliment of them.
The Chicago Player Usage chart above is really skewed by the fact that they were dominant. Quality of competition and Zone start make it seem like they played in a different league than everyone else - never in their own end, never against stiff opposition. Still, relative to itself, Frolik had a slightly tougher assignment than the first line of Toews and Hossa, and a little easier than the Bolland-Sharp pair. He come out with a positive relative corsi rating, which is another rare event on the Jets.
What can we expect?
More than likely, he fills the hole on LW after Ladd and Kane, and we can hope he joins Burmistrov in a tough-to-play against, positive possession third line. Some report him as a centre, but that isn't how he's been used historically. Of course, Burmi may move to the RW where - you guessed it - there is also a hole. It won't be a traditional third line, but could perhaps play the second toughs and give the Jets three lines with NHL players on them. He also will become a fixture on the penalty kill, where he excelled for Chicago.
Hockey Futures discussed him as a high-end scorer in his draft year, and his time with Kladno in the Czech Republic earned him the nickname 'Baby Jagr.' HF says, "He has displayed exceptional playmaking ability along with a gifted sense for the game. His combination of agile speed and a solid shot can produce plenty of razzle-dazzle in the open ice. He needs to get stronger to handle the size of NHL defensemen."
Since his draft, he's developed as a two-way player, playing just under 10 EV minutes a night on the Stanley Cup winning Hawks this year and also playing on the top PK unit for an average of 2:24 SHTOI per game.
What does it all mean?
Today is a strange day in Jets Nation. This is a great trade for the Jets, changing out Santorelli (a poor man's Frolik) for Frolik at the cost of a handful of picks that were immediately replaced by trading #61 for a 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Frolik won't be a game changer, but is a high quality hockey player from an excellent team. He's young enough to be in the cluster, and is on a very affordable and reasonable contract.
This is a solid acquisition, as Frolik should fit in well on the 3rd line. Just don't expect him to be a top-6 forward, and you're fine.
I guess the ideal deployment would see A top line of Ladd-Little-Wheeler with Scheifle centering Kane on line two, and Frolik and Jokinen on the third line. Burmistrov can slide between 2nd and 3rd RW.

Calling himself the "caretaker" for one of the elite teams in college football, new Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said Sunday that his plan for the program will be "99.2 percent in lockstep" with the system put in place Chip Kelly, who left Wednesday for the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Going forward, we will attack in all phases. We'll embrace innovation," Helfrich said, signaling a continuation of the up-tempo offensive style that defined Oregon's wildly successful four-year run under Kelly.
HELFRICH: Ducks name assistant as Kelly's replacement
Helfrich spent the last four seasons as Oregon's offensive coordinator and quarterback coach after three years (2006-8) in the same position at Colorado. He also served as the quarterbacks coach at Arizona State (2001-5) and Boise State (1998-2000).
He inherits a program that went 46-7 under Kelly, winning three conference championships in a row from 2009-11 and participating in four BCS bowls, including the 2011 national championship game. Oregon joined USC as the only Pac-12 schools to win three conference titles in a row since Arizona and Arizona State joined the league in 1978.
The Ducks finished in the top five nationally in total offense in each of the last three years, leading the country in yards per game in 2011. Behind Helfrich and Kelly, Oregon's offense also ranked among the top eight nationally in scoring in each of the last four seasons.
SUMLIN: Texas A&M extends coach's contract after 11-win season
"We were looking for a coach who exemplified excellence, leadership and character, and who would embrace what our winning football culture is all about. We found that person in Mark Helfrich," said Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens.
"He has been vitally important to our success here the past four years. He is man devoted to his family, his players, his university and community. I'm excited to see Mark lead the Ducks to even greater heights."
While it was not the main goal of Oregon's search, Mullens called the continuity Helfrich provides the program a clear "bonus." Helfrich is the third Oregon coach in a row to be hired from within the staff, joining Kelly and Mike Bellotti, who led the Ducks from 1995-2008.
"The fact that he's got deep roots in Oregon is a bonus," Mullens said. "But it was not the driving factor. We wanted an outstanding leader to continue the tradition of Oregon football.
EARLY LOOK: A post-BCS look at the early top 25 for 2013
"Continuity has a played a role in our success. Again, it's a nice bonus."
Helfrich is the first native Oregonian – he was born in Medford, Ore., and attended Marshfield High School in Coos Bay – to serve as the Ducks' coach since John Warren in 1942.
"Coaching at Oregon is the pinnacle for me," said Helfrich, whose father, Mike, was an offensive linemen for the Ducks in the early 1960s.
"It's an honor to be chosen as the caretaker of Oregon football. The job is certainly bigger than any one person."

My pump still pumps water; but it no longer shuts off. When I turn it on the pressure gauge creeps up to 40#, then just stays there and will not go any higher nor kick off. In the past, it kicked on at 40# and kicked off at 60#. Since it ran a long time without rest before I discovered this, I thought that maybe the impeller was damaged from heat. So I replaced the impeller but my problem remained. I fiddled around a little with the screws on the pressure switch, but did not really know what I was doing. Any idea on a) what my problem is and b) how to get the pressure switch readjusted to the proper position?
My pump is a Craftsman Shallow Well Jet Pump (� HP; 40/60 pressure; Model # 390-251882). It sits atop a Sears Captive Air Water Tank. The whole thing sits atop my well. The foot valve is about ten feet below the pump; but lately the well has been full to the top, which means the water level is only a couple of feet below the pump. I don�t know whether the switch is a �D� . The rectangular black plastic cover which fits over the switch does not contain a model number, but says: Type: SK-2 Model: STA-RITE Part Number But then there is no number. The switch contains four raised screws in a straight line which hold wires; and there are three lower adjustment screws: #1 is in the middle, with #�s 2 and 3 on either side. Instructions in the cover say: �Device Adjustment: 1) Turn nut #1 CW to raise cut on & off pressure 2) Turn nut #2 to raise cut off pressure only�
Let me recap this: my water pipes into the house froze, then unthawed---although I don�t think the pump froze. Now my problem is that the pump goes up to 40# pressure, then just keeps running without shutting off. I replaced the impeller and re-plumbed several fittings which were leaking. I now have only a slight dribble where the hose from the tank attaches to the pump outlet. This (lack of leaks) is better than it has been in years. Since this problem developed I have kept the power to the pump shut off except when I am running water in my house. But even when it is shut off overnight, the system seems to hold its prime, but not the system pressure. The pump just won�t shut off.
I tried draining (power off) the tank of all water, and checked the air pressure is. The AIR pressure in the tank should be 2 lbs below the pump cut-in pressure. The air pressure in the tank was 6# (so where did that pressure go? Do I have a leak? It seems to have been fine for several years now, but water in the tank may have frozen at the beginning of this problem�). So I inflated the air pressure to 38# and it seems to be holding there: I checked it after an hour and it had not budged. But when I primed and restarted the pump, the gauge quickly raised up to 28# and would not go any higher. And now, it seems, my system does not even hold that pressure (up until now it had held this low pressure overnight).
About five minutes after I shut off power to the pump, the pressure gauge on the tank (not the air pressure) had gone back down to almost nothing.

Ashes By Now
August 28 2010 08:55AM
The job of an NHL scout is to project into the future. Their friends are knowledge, experience, other scouts, the tailor-made computer program, miles and miles of blacktop and sheer freaking luck. Their odds are so poor anyone not absolutely married to the career would drop it based on logic and reason within the three month trial period.
According to a draft study (using the years 1979-95) the odds of drafting an impact player are very low:
- 2% turned out to be a elite players (the Kurri family)
- 4% turned into impact players (the Smyth family)
- 15% turned out to be average NHLers (the Stoll family)
- 24% played less than 200 games (the Pouliot family)
- 55% never played a game in the NHL (everyone else)
Barry Fraser drafted a ton of 1's but they all came in a wonderful cluster. His career as scouting director was decidedly uneven during a long coda (1984-2000) but he can boast a litany of drafted players (Lowe, Anderson, Messier, Coffey, Kurri, Moog, Fuhr, Steve Smith, Beukeboom, Tikkanen) during the glory years (79-83) and a nice bunch over the long slide (Buchberger, Rucinsky, Maltby, Arnott, Satan, Smyth, Poti, Horcoff, Comrie) to his retirement.
Kevin Prendergast presided over the 2001-07 drafts and never drafted a Kurri or a Messier. Part of it was drafting in the middle of the first round, but KP did have one top 10 selection and delivered a quality prospect (Sam Gagner) who may climb above his current ranking (I'd slot him #3). His best selection? Ales Hemsky, who was plucked in the middle of the first round (2001) and has gone on to deliver outstanding offense over the years. I always felt Prendergast was about average at the draft table (which was a huge step up from the end of Fraser's run) and it is probably the reason he was removed from the job after the 2007 Entry Draft.
Enter the Magnificent Bastard (Stu MacGregor) and a renewed effort to squeeze more out of the draft. As luck would have it, MacGregor hit a home run (at least all of the arrows point that way) with his first selection (Jordan Eberle). A re-draft of 2008 would no doubt see Eberle among the first 10 names to emerge from the list. The kid can play, and when you acquire that kind of talent at number 22 overall it is a very good day. I dare say we may one day speak of Eberle being chosen in 2008 in a fashion similar to the status Hemsky's selection inspires among Oiler fans. Hemsky was taken 13th overall and should have gone in the top 5. Eberle was selected #22, and it looks like (there is a danger in speaking too soon) he should have gone top 10.
The next summer MBS picked MPS in a rare case of the Oilers falling ass over tea kettle into that sheer luck I mentioned at the top. This used to happen to Los Angeles all the time, but credit where due as MacGregor called out the young Swede's name after Dallas and Ottawa (of all teams) let him slide. This past summer MacGregor and staff had the chance of a lifetime, selecting first overall in a year that boasted two kids worthy of the title.
MacGregor has had some good fortune, but the underlying story is almost as strong. Almost ALL of the kids picked outside of the first round have some or many arrows pointed in the right direction. Here is a quick summary of the Magnificent Bastard's first three seasons worth of drafts and how they are progressing.
- Jordan Eberle: Since being drafted he has delivered in the WHL and on the international stage. The Oilers (I think correctly) have been patient with his development and that should pay off with a strong first pro season. Eberle has the "Steve Shutt sixth sense" around the net and I think he's going to be an excellent NHL player with a nice range of skills. Tremendous value for the spot the Oilers took him. No serious injuries.
- Johan Motin: Already playing pro hockey, he drew positive reviews from his coach during the difficult 2009-10 season in Springfield. One down arrow: he was passed by new pro Alex Plante on the Falcons depth chart. Still, a stay-at-home type with a mean streak and pro experience. No serious injuries.
- Philippe Cornet: Oilers liked him enough to sign him in early May of this season and he'll compete for a job in Oklahoma City this fall. I think he may end up playing in the ECHL for a time, as the organization has had success in the past (Liam Reddox, as an example) by sending their "tweener" wingers to Double A. Cornet's offense didn't build this season (it was flat compared to his 18-year old season) so there are some concerns about him. On the positive side, there's a lot of evidence that he is less of a perimeter player than he appeared to be on draft day.
- Teemu Hartikainen: Do you remember the "Sather Oilers" and their tendency to find players out of nowhere? One day the team has a need and the next day Jaroslav Pouzar or Rem Murray is on the scene. I think Hartikainen might be such a player. Since being drafted, this kid has improved his skating and overall performance in an (almost) straight line. Edmonton signed him in May as well, Hartikainen might surprise in camp and I would think he has a better chance of sticking in Oklahoma City than Cornet.
- Jordan Bendfeld: He had enough talent to de drafted twice (PHX in 2006, EDM in 2008) and Bendfeld did make an appearance in the AHL this past season. When teams take a player 193rd overall, a solid minor league player is considered full value. Bendfeld is 21 years old and he's going in the right direction.
- Magnus Pääjärvi (sorry Wanye): The fun thing to note about this player is that NHL PLAYERS are talking about him. Jim Matheson has a piece on Ales Hemsky (and by the way, Hemsky is a calm voice re: expectations about the kids. Well worth the read) and #83 says he has a couple of friends who have played with him and think he's a good one. There aren't many negatives about this player, save for age and experience and that's not really a negative when you're building from the ground up. Played defense as a kid, so may adjust more quickly than others to the positioning required in the NHL.
- Anton Lander: There is some evidence the Oilers drafted the Euro Doug Jarvis in Lander. Already playing against men, Lander's role on Timra was fairly defensive considering age and experience. Based on scouting reports he's going to be a coach's dream in the NHL if the offense comes. A slight down arrow for the low batting average but this kid has a nice range of skills at an early age.
- Troy Hesketh: The tall tree from Minnetonka is progressing well. It is doubly difficult to track this player because Hesketh is a defensive defenseman and he plays high school hockey. However, this is a raw talent and unless he suffers a severe injury (there was a rumor but it was false) we should consider the arrows to be heading in the right direction.
- Cameron Abney: Leaving aside where he was taken in the draft, Abney will serve a specific role should he play in the NHL and seems on track at this time. He did improve offensively and is a willing fighter.
- Kyle Bigos: Some nice arrows here. His first NCAA season was a success, and he was used in all manner of ways. He told Guy Flaming his role is "to be as physical as I can and establish a presence on the blueline. I love to move the puck and play 5-on-5 with the team we have, but I'm also getting a chance on the powerplay. I'm mainly used as a shooter. I also get to play PK which is a blast! I think to go out and block shots and to try and stop the talent-filled teams in HE is a great challenge and a lot of fun." This player may have increasing importance to the organization. At 6.05, 230 we are talking about a monster on the blue if he continues to develop.
- Toni Rajala: Pure skill player who had a strong season with Brandon (WHL). I saw a few Wheat Kings games and he was certainly noticable for his skill and the number of chances he created with an aggressive forecheck. He'll be back in Finland this fall, but Rajala is certainly a player to watch. Injury concern: tweaked a knee late last summer, don't know about long term impact.
- Olivier Roy: There's a chance this is a home run. Redline Report had him at #56 and the Oilers grabbed him 133rd overall. That's a slide. His scouting report includes the usual "quick reflexes" etc we expect from a goalie with NHL potential, but Chris Bordeleau from Central Scouting said "he's steady" which is an enormous item for a junior goalie. He started slowly in the Q last season then came on strong, finishing with a .908SP. He also played in Springfield and was very impressive (.913). Lets not go crazy, but he might get here quicker than anyone thinks he will.
- Taylor Hall: ALL of his arrows are pointed in the right direction. In bold. In Arial black bold. Even little things like passing on the WJ camp because he's turning pro and wants to focus on getting ready for training camp is a huge item. A delightful prospect.
- Tyler Pitlick: He's a strong prospect, nice range of skills. Redline gushed: Accelerates briskly out of cross-over and blows by defenders. Has an NHL calibre shot right now. Flashed the ability to power through defenders. Can gain separation in corners with sharp twists and can turn on a dime. Patient playmaker. Long-limbed with farmboy like strength. Aggressive and finished checks. Can shield the puck and work it down low, but often gives it up due to his eagerness to come off the wall and attempt to dance around defenders. Work in progress defensively - will come back deep and battle for the puck but lacks awareness in coverage assignments. Well, that's gushing for Redline Report.:-)
- Martin Marincin: He's a solid prospect. Makes a nice first pass, but doesn't get into the play as much as he should, plus he needs work in terms of positioning and reacting. Having said that, he's tough to beat one-on-one because of his reach and mobility. A good skater with size is golden for defense. We'll know a lot more one year from now.
- Curtis Hamilton: I haven't mentioned injury much but with this player it is a huge item. Two broken collarbones sounds a lot like "freak accident" but maybe he's going to be injury prone. Other than that, a lot to like about him, 2-way winger with soft hands and he knows the game. His scouting report reads a lot like the ones written back in the 1970's, which is my way of saying he's a throwback "up and down" winger. I swear his scouting report is an exact match for Ross Lonsberry.
- Ryan Martindale: Another recent draft with some down arrows. There is concern about his level of passion for the game (which sounds strange since MBS makes that a priority). It could be that he leaves scouts wanting more based on his level of ability but we should make note of it as we prepare to follow his career. Redline compares him to Ryan O'Marra. No matter who we're listening to, we're going to see the words "Martindale" and "inconsistent" in the same sentence a lot over the next few seasons.
- Jeremie Blain: Bill Dandy liked him, and he does have a nice range of skills. Size, strength, some puck moving ability. They took him pretty early (#91) but with an eye to the depth chart and their overall lack of size.
- Tyler Bunz: He's a project, exactly what you'd expect from a goalie taken later in the draft. Mike Remmerde did a nice report on him giving us a solid line in the sand.
- Brandon Davidson: He was a late bloomer and there are some issues in regard to skating. Having said that, nice range of skills and purely based on numbers should have gone earlier. Man he developed late. Had some knee prolbems mid-season.
- Drew Czerwonka: A big hitter, energy type player. Weird stat lines the last 2 seasons, we'll need to follow him awhile to see if he's got any skill aside from board rattling.
- Kristians Pelss: Skilled kid from Latvia. If he makes a mark in the AHL the Oilers should consider it a success. If he maks the NHL, MBS should get a statue. All of this is based on draft odds, not this specific player about which we don't know a helluva lot.
- Kellen Jones: Oilers like the Vernon Vipers. We should start paying attention to them.
There are a lot of arrows pointed in the right direction here. I understand the idea that the scouts should deliver when they pick #1, #10 or even #22. I would counter with the long list of Bonsignore's, Kelly's and others, and further add that the quality of player added with selections in the 2nd (Lander, Pitlick, Marincin, Martindale) round are solid. Beyond that, kids like Hartikainen, Bigos, Rajala and Brandon Davidson would appear to be far enough above the event horizon (consdering draft pedigree) to be considered legit NHL prospects at this time.
Finally, there is always the danger of getting excited about draft picks too soon. A 5-year glance can sometimes be incorrect let alone two months later. Having said that, we're tracking these prospects not making a final decision on them. The Oilers seem to be paying attention to the right things, be it injury history (their first round picks don't have a Pouliot asterisk attached) to region (they're all over the CHL and Sweden, shy on Russia, etc).
Even in that area I think the Oilers are taking the right approach. They're not drafting as many Euro's but have hired scouts who will pay attention to the developing talents in European amateur AND PRO leagues. With the NHL spending fewer picks on players from across the pond, that'll mean a larger talent pool in the pro ranks whose rights are available each summer.
As frustrating as the major league roster appears to be, there is real hope from the procurement department. And that my friends is very good news. Stu MacGregor really is a magnificent bastard, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

uh oh...somebody's gonna be in trouuuuuuuuuuubbblllllllllle
August 28 2010, 08:54PM
Wow no wonder everyone is raving about STMB I knew about the top players etc but to see all his draft picks together and to realize that some of those lower picks even have a chance of NHL play is awesome.
Way off topic but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen the twitter from Mathew Barry that the Oil are shopping Cogs and Penner. Anyone know what's going on?
August 28 2010, 09:43PM
Thank you LT and ArchGuy for seeing that Horcoff is not what the Edmonton media seems to think he is. I think he should be the #3 centerman with some PK time. Stay the hell away from the PP with him, especially if the kids with talent make the bigs.
Secondly, Madjam is ludicrous! Seriously man (or gal) if you think the Oilers are going to be near the top of the league offensively you need to slow down on the wobbly-pops. The kids will have a big learning curve, IF, they even make the team. I will agree that the Defense is a bit suspect this year, but I would take this D-corps over what we had last year any day of the week. At least these d-men can actually take the body.
I'm a diehard Oiler fan, but I'm not delusional....I leave that to the people living 3 hours south of us- they do it with Football and Hockey.

Way off topic but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen the twitter from Mathew Barry that the Oil are shopping Cogs and Penner. Anyone know what's going on?
I got the impression that it was completely made up.
I always assume that everything on hockeybuzz is fabricated, and this sounded like dude was spit-balling ideas.
I would suggest looking back further though, as there were other key draft points for them too, such as Toews the year before, and Keith and Seabrook in 2002/03 respectively. So I wouldn't quite say it was as quick as one draft in 2007, and then 3 years later they had a cup parade.
But I think we've already gone through at least 4 years of failure, ourselves, and done some good drafting in that period, in addition to some already solid existing pieces such as Hemsky, Penner, Gilbert, Whitney. So while I have no delusions of a cup in 3 years or anything, I do think we'll start seeing some exciting hockey in a couple of years. This year could be a good indication of whether that wait time is accelerated though or if we'll have to continue to be patient (which is fine by me too).
I may seem too optimistic but could Petry and Plante not be our Keith and Seabrook? Petry and Keith were taken around the same place and so were Plante and Seabrook(although Seabrook would have gone earlier if the 03 draft wasn't so deep). Plante's arrows are all pointed in the right direction ATM. Also, I may be mistaken but didn't Keith take the college route too? He also had a year or 2 in the A that we can give Petry too so I guess all I'm saying is you never know
*edit* it seems my point was stated by Crash earlier too *edit*

To be honest, the last time I was this excited about the young, up-and-coming talent in the Oilers organization was back in 1994 when Arnott, Weight, Marchant, Mironov, Maltby, Thornton, etc were in the fold and others like Smyth, Satan, Oliver, Grier, Murray, McGillis, etc were on the horizon. This is a tremendously exciting time to be an Oiler fan so enjoy the ride.
...couldn't agree more. I have to admit that I am more excited as to our long-term potential now though, and that is a very good thing!
By the end of the season, after Horcoff was re-assigned to the 3rd line. Yes. We can pretend that Horcoff didnt lose the job on the top line, but that would just be pretending.
Here's my pet peeve. The guy lost his spot, lost what little physical edge he had, lost his way as a shutdown guy, lost his offensive touch, and no one wants to acknowledge that it happened.
Horcoff is very fragile right now, physically and mentally. He has been incredibly over-taxed and far too much has been expected of him.
Tell me honestly, did you really not see him play so much better when the expectations of being the first line centre were taken away from him?
The voice of reason, thank-you!

New Biogas Opportunities Roadmap is Part of Climate Change Solution, Emerging Biogas Industry Offers New Revenue Opportunities for America's Farmers
Farmers have long understood the need to care for our air, land and water. They know that farms are more productive and efficient when they're properly cared for. Protecting natural resources protects their bottom lines and may be able to improve them as well.
Farmers are always looking for ways to make a living and be good stewards of the land, which is why the emerging biogas industry is so important to rural America. Across the country, biogas systems that capture methane from farming operations and use it to generate renewable energy currently provide enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of almost 70,000 average American homes.

Culture a Key Factor in New Model for Public Diplomacy
Is a better world possible through better communication? School of Communication Professor Rhonda Zaharna believes so. In her new book, Relational, Networking and Collaborative Approaches to Public Diplomacy: The Connective Mindshift (Routledge), co-edited with Amelia Arsenault and Ali Fisher, Dr. Zaharna explores how nations can adopt a "connective mindshift" to facilitate more nuanced dialogue and ultimately, greater understanding.
International strategic communication is a passion of Zaharna's and is an interest she has cultivated since she was a student. Over the course of her career, she has witnessed important turning points in "public diplomacy," or, how nations communicate with each other. One such turning point was the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. In her 2010 book, Battles to Bridges: U.S. Strategic Communication and Public Diplomacy after 9/11 (Palgrave-Macmillan 2010),she explored how U.S. communication was spurring anti-American sentiment around the world. The irony was that, "in our [communication] textbooks, America was doing everything perfectly, but something else was going on," Zaharna says.
That "something else," Zaharna reasoned, was culture, which led her to her next major project, exploring the cultural underbelly of public diplomacy. The topic of a two-year research fellowship (2011-2013) with the University of Southern California's Center on Public Diplomacy, the fellowship included another major publication, The Cultural Awakening in Public Diplomacy (Figueroa Press 2012). The project also features an on-going "monthly interactive blog and discussion forum … which invites students, scholars, practitioners… to share their observations on specific topics related to culture and public diplomacy," she says.
Cultural Underbelly of Public Diplomacy
What is the 'underbelly' and why is it important? "The underbelly sits beneath this animal called 'communication', and we see it and think we understand it- but then we turn it over and we see this new, important side we missed." Zaharna clarifies.
Zaharna says it is vital to appreciate the cultural underbelly for understanding, acceptance and "social flow and harmony." Failure to incorporate these cultural nuances could cause misunderstanding in an age where it is dangerously afforded. In an age of pervasive information, with social issues such as targeted killings and drone ethics still in formation, the way the United States communicates globally must operate within a more collaborative and fluent 21st-century-version of cultural relations.
Zaharna argues, "we can reorient our thinking to communication networks, not messages. We need to think about relationships." The field of relationalism breaks new ground. The word is still not in the dictionary and only a handful of scholarly communication articles even mention the term.
Through her research, Zaharna is challenging the very way we approach and think about communication. We must heed the warnings-- relationships and networks stand as a top priority in a rapidly modernizing and globalized world.Zaharna's new work drives home this vital paradigm shift, or "mindshift" and asks us to change.

Fairytales and other romantic stories are part of ballet's long tradition. Serge Diaghilev's Russian Ballet told, or retold, stories of magic, romance and tragedy in a novel and sophisticated manner. Alexandre Benois, a painter and historian, designed Armida's Pavilion in 1909. The ballet enabled Benois to realise his vision of French aristocratic life in the 18th-century. By contrast, nostalgia for the St Petersburg fairgrounds of the 19th-century inspired his designs for Petrushka 1911. The set and costumes captured the innocent yet tragic mood of this bittersweet story of a love-sick puppet.
Characters from the Italian commedia dell'arte threatrical tradition, such as Pierrot and Harlequin, were revived for Carnival 1910. Bakst's costumes were restrained in their decoration, and relied on shape and colour to complement the lively yet elegant dancing. After the First World War, Diaghilev persuaded French painters, including André Derain, to design new ballets with a similarly witty mood.
In 1921 Diaghilev produced his first full-length ballet, The Sleeping Princess, a revival of the 19th-century classic, The Sleeping Beauty. No expense was spared and Bakst designed hundreds of opulently detailed costumes in strong jewel-like colours. Diaghilev's attempt to revive the grand traditions of Russia's Imperial Ballet, however, was not popular and almost bankrupted his company. Thereafter he only produced short, one-act ballets.

Book Character Halloween Costumes
Halloween is just around the corner and you still don't have your costume picked out!? What's a kid to do? Come to your favorite neighborhood book website for advice! (That's us, of course!) Just for fun, here are some ideas for book character costumes. For example, you could be:
Modern-day Greek god or goddess from Percy Jackson
For Ares: Pair jeans or black pants with a red shirt and leather jacket. Accessorize with silver chains, sunglasses, and a bad attitude.
For Argus (head of security): Use old clothes to draw on. Draw blue eyeballs all over them. Use face paint to draw additional blue eyeballs on your skin.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, or any wizard from Harry Potter
Borrow dad's black trench coat as a cape. Make sure he doesn't need it for work the next day. Add a cheap black witch/wizard's hat from the Dollar Store. Make a wand by wrapping aluminum foil around a chopstick or pencil.
For Harry, draw a lightning bolt on your forehead with some eyeliner (either your own, or salvaged from mom's makeup bag). If you have a stuffed owl, duct tape it to your shoulders. Add a pair of round spectacles for full Harry effect. Viola – magic.
Fregley from Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Start with a yellow gym shirt and blue gym shorts. If you already have messy red hair, you're in luck. If not, use some temporary spray color of the red/orange variety, and gel it in all different directions. Draw a "secret freckle" onto your stomach with eyeliner, and reserve it to gross out those who deserve it! Put a bunch of band-aids on various parts of your body, and offer to let people smell your scabs. You can even rub raw salmon (or something just as disgusting) under the band aids for bonus gross-out effect.
Bella, Edward, and Jacob from Twilight (ages 12 and up) Works well if you're part of a group.
For Bella: Bella should be a brunette with her bangs pulled back from her face. Wear a flannel shirt, jeans, and hiking boots. Draw two red dots (ie. fang marks) on your neck, and try to look bored.
For Edward: Gel up your hair, and use white face paint to paint your face. Wear a black shirt and black wrist cuff (can just be a black piece of construction paper taped around your wrist!) If you want to go crazy, draw a drop of red blood running from your mouth with your mom's lipstick.
For Jacob: Wear a fake muscle shirt, or lots of padding under a tight shirt to make you look muscular. Wear a wolf nose (or draw one on with eyeliner) and howl at the moon a lot.
Click here for some new costume ideas like One Direction Zombies, The Hunger Games characters, and more.
What do you guys think? We wanna hear from you. Describe YOUR best idea for a book character Halloween costume in the Comments below. Or let us know if you are already dressing up as a book character!
Happy Haunting!

Skip to comments.McNuggets lady pleads not guilty in drive-thru rage
Posted on 01/29/2010 6:20:23 PM PST by High Cotton
The East Toledo woman who punched through a McDonald's drive-thru window after being told chicken McNuggets were not available pleaded not guilty in court Thursday.
Melodi Dushane, 24, stopped at the fast-food restaurant at Front and Main Streets in East Toledo in the early morning hours of Jan. 1 and asked for chicken nuggets. When the drive-thru attendant told her the restaurant was only serving breakfast and that the item was not available, Dushane reached through the window and punched the attendant in the mouth.
In court Thursday, Dushane pleaded not guilty to one count of vandalism and two counts of assault. Her next appearance in court has yet to be scheduled.
Dushane is not being held.
At her arraignment in early January, a judge ordered that Dushane not visit the 90 Main St. McDonald's location again.
Yep, Detroit leaked into Toledo long ago.
One of Obama's people -— give me what I want or I'll punch you in the nose OR give me what I want or I'll
F**k Up the economy....
I must confess there have been times I've been tempted to do this. Usually when I want an Egg McMuffin at 10:31 AM.
Good. Put her ass through the system and 6 months jail. Idiot
Home of the fajita pita, a wholesome meal that does not inspire this sort of violence.
Burger King to testify that Ms. Melodi Dushane woke up with the king which caused her to experience temporary insanity.
Careful, it hits back.
That was funny!
I'd hit it too, if it didn't hit back.
First Jack in the Box, now naked women on the beach. This damn thread is making me homesick for California.
Sorry to hear you're in a place that doesn't speak clown. It's the finest.
In addition to selling booze, Burger King now specializes in flame-broiled, beach massages.
Feed her nothing but Chicken McNuggets for every meal too.
I presume they have her on camera at the drive up - how in the world does she expect to support a not guilty plea with a video of her fist hitting the employee? What possible excuse can even a liberal come up with?
With 907 conditions with muscles spasms, I'm sure her lawyer will think of something.
Been there, it sucks, especially after having achieved bud lock on the way to McD's.
punched through a McDonald's drive-thru window after being told chicken McNuggets were not available...and then dialed 911?
Much better picture.
Still might find a use for the McNuggets...;)
Thru the vatican.
She has nasty hair. If a woman can't keep her hair (that everyone sees) clean, it's probably a good bet nothing else is clean.
Dunno about a liberal, but in this case she ordered and paid for the McNuggets, and was then told:
"No McNuggets for you"
"OK Give me my money back"
"No. It's our money now"
I figure you can thump someone who is committing the act of stealing from you.

Yep, looks like one of those Toledo Girls........God, what is the world comming to?

YogAlign: Change Your Posture - Change Your Life
Michaelle Edwards
November 2, 2014 - November 8, 2014
Gabrielle Reece practicing the YogAlign Spine Aligner for pain free posture realignment
30 year Hawaii resident, yoga teacher, posture educator, author, musician, and body worker Michaelle Edwards will show you how to do YogAlign, a revolutionary style of Yoga fused with self guided bodywork which aligns your posture from the inside out. This retreat/workshop will focus on core strength, and naturally aligned posture using the movements of breathing and functional yoga/body positions that simulate how you use your body in real life. Free your fascia and learn how to reboot your nervous system to change posture habits quickly and painlessly.
Each participant will receive a postural assessment the first day, and photographs will be emailed showing the before and after effects of practicing YogAlign. You will leave the retreat with tools for health care self reliance. The yoga will engage your joints to be strong and stable as you gain functional flexibility and new insights into your body and how it works. As you change your postural patterns using the YogAlign method, you will be strengthening your kinesthetic awareness to stay present,naturally aligned, tuned, toned and pain-free.
Retreat/workshop schedule:
Inclusive price includes transportation to and from the airport, posture changing yoga and daily adventure outings.
Daily 2-3 hour YogAlign classes with Michaelle, private or shared accommodations, three gourmet meals a day with snacks, adventure excursions to the volcano, tide pools, rain forest, waterfalls, and soaks in the geothermal heated warm ponds. On some evenings, there will be movies, star gazing, and also music as Michaelle leads the group in singing with her guitar. Bring your voice and your instruments to share.
Learn how to apply the YogAlign method to all of your daily movements such as swimming, hiking and running. Stretch smart, avoid yoga injuries, and move with dynamic fluidity and no stress on your joints. YogAlign is for all levels and ages and is completely painless as there are no toe touching positions or pretzel twists. Yet the results are dramatic as you watch your posture shift to be natural, graceful, effortless and aligned.

"These shoes are so super cute; I bought the mustard. Initially pretty comfy, although they run a little big. I'm putting insoles in the back, as 6 was the smallest they have. Would recommend sizing a half size down. But so worth putting the insoles in! Love!!"

Skip to comments.Georgia School allows Poster "God is Dead"
Posted on 08/17/2013 9:28:22 AM PDT by budj
A Georgia high school project that has sparked outrage among some students and parents will not be taken down...
Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/17/georgia-school-to-keep-display-featuring-god-is-dead-posters/#ixzz2cFDV2JHW
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I'd make 100 more posters that said "God is alive and well"...but he has a sadness..."Stop killing the babies"
Barack Hussein Obama is their new god. They did this in the old, obsolete Soviet Union too. It collapsed.
Fair is Fair, maybe a poster that says Allah is Dead should also be displayed...
And, if we're allowed to say God is Dead, then aren't we allowed to say that God is alive?
If you are permitting any mention of God, then aren't you allowed to have messages favorable to God as well????
Place a Crucifix next to it and see how fast that comes down.
God is dead, he died for us, then he arose.
you want kids to go to jail...and rehab...and have a permanent black mark on their record.
I was going to describe the Benny Hill skit with it.
Everyone pull your kids out of public schools and educate them yourselves. The alternative...?? Growing up dumb is better than growing up indoctrinated
Once upon a time kids who believed in God did far more than that.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
In the hearts and minds of many Americans.
It must be True
I read it somewhere...
Who is the brainchild behind this project? Do they have a name, address and telephone number? Do they like having their picture posted on the Internet?
A thousand t-shirts to the contrary.
The New Soviet Union is back under Putin. It is only going to get stronger. They have a new sub that is said to be the quietest around. Nothing about allowing this thing to move in off our shores and drop nukes on all the major cities in the Republic. As Obama takes away our nukes, to protect our citizens, the Soviets, Red China, radical Islum are building them and WILL USE THEM on us. Simple as that. Some ask why America is not mentioned in end time Bible prophesy. I believe it is because the USA will not exist as it is now in those days. America is going to take a massive hit of some type. Nukes, the Rapture of the Church, all the above.
2. Stand just off of school property, but where school traffic would pass.
3. Preach about the Living God of the Bible.
4. Point to the female in the drawing, preach about the devil-possessed nature of such a one crying out "God is dead," and that it may just indicate, "we don't know, but could indicate," the devil-possession of the artist.
Would make for very effective street preaching.
How about a poster saying in huge letters,
"Behold, for God is not mocked....."
God is Love.
1 John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:7-9 (in Context) 1 John 4
So.... If God is dead. Love is dead and we know that aint true. So there. nah nah nah nah nah....
Well at least God managed to get into a school.
Atheists need someone to believe in God or they are DEAD!
If my kid went to that school, I'd give her a big black marker and tell her to write "Nietzche is dead. —God" underneath.
Then I'd give her a slip of paper with my name and phone number on it. I'd tell her to tell them, "My dad told me to give this to you."
Works for me...
There should be one under it, "the muzzie in the white house and his lib friends killed him."
My husband suggested, "Allah is DEAD".
I wonder if an "Impeach Obama" poster would be allowed.
I wonder if "Mohammed was not a prophet" would be allowed.
"allah"is the fake pagan moon idol that MoMo chose to lead his satanic death cult.
I think some posters declaring Allah to be dead would pretty much take care of this ridiculousness.
The liberals are always screaming about the separation of church and state. Parents need to tell the school they'll sue if the sign is not removed.
If its not appropriate in the classroom wall, where is it appropriate? Sherri Davis-Viniard of Newton County Schools told MyFoxAtlanta.com."
Another hyphenated idiot. I need to start keeping track of them.
"Nietzsche is dead" - God
God may be dead to them but then again a dead God can't invite them into heaven. Gonna be a whole lotta weeping and gnashing of teeth on final graduation day-— more like a self-inflicted demotion.

Beautiful Heels!
"I love these heels! They are really comfy and easy to walk in! They are kind of tight around the toe area, but I guess that is because my foot is wider. They are kind of big though. I usually wear a size 7 but had to get a 6.5. The glitter comes off ever now and then. It is a beautiful shoe though. I'm in LOVE with it!!! <3 I practiced dancing in them and they are dance-able! :D"

LAS VEGAS -- Detroit's auto industry still takes a bow when it comes to its most famous engines, whether it was Chevrolet 350-cubic-inch V-8, Ford 302 or Chrysler 440 Magnum. Now comes South Korea's Hyundai with hopes of joining the list.
Hyundai announced at the big SEMA aftermarket car parts trade show here that it is going to join other big makers in selling two of its more popular engines to enthusiasts who want something bigger or better under the hood.
They're called crate engines because, well, they used to come in a crate -- without a car. Detroit's Big 3 and aftermarket suppliers have had a nice little side business over the years selling whole engines to racers that they can drop in and go.
With Hyundai having had popular, youthful race-oriented Genesis coupe, executives figured there are now enough used cars out there that there could be some interest from hot-rodders.
"As more Genesis Coupes have entered the pre-owned enthusiast market since its 2009 launch, we've witnessed strong interest in leveraging the low cost potential of this rear-drive platform and its powertrains," says John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai Motor America, in a statement. "Now, with our new crate engine program, Hyundai is making it more affordable for these same enthusiasts to modify their Genesis Coupe.
Some may be current Genesis owners who want more oomph out of their engines. Others may be "someone who doesn't have a Hyundai coupe and buys one," then starts itching to improve its performance, says Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor in an interview after his presentation here.
While relatively few customers ever tinker with their engines, the move could help build credibility with the racer community -- with helps amp up the overall popularity of the brand.
Hyundai will start by selling two engines:
•The Lambda 3.8-liter, direct-injected V-6 is being priced at $9,000.
•The Theta 2-liter, four-cylinder engine will start at $4,500. It will be "turbo ready." Or buyers can elect to have the turbocharger, intercooler and ducting included for a total price of $6,000.

Moises Alou and Jorge Posada have something in common. Despite the fact that most other players wear gloves to play baseball, they do not. This might be disadvantage, because it reduces the amount of grip that they can put on a bat or ball.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Rich Walje, president of Utah Power, hosted an informational meeting at the Museum of the San Rafael recently. We have a huge impact in this part of Utah. When we start something, people jump to conclusions. We want to set things straight in this meeting, said Walje.
We met with many of our employees today, and we also met with the Emery County Commissioners, to try and update them on projects in the future. One thing that is definitely going to happen is that we are going to file a rate case. This translates into a request for a rate increase for customers. Our current rates do not support our level of investment.
We provide power to six states, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, California, and Washington. Over the last 10 years, we have invested an average of $90 million per year in substations, poles, and etc. This rate increase is needed to cover our investment, Walje continued.
Scottish Power has been a good owner and improved many parts of the company. One thing is that our customer service has improved. The sale to Mid-American is moving ahead and is nearly approved by all the involved parties. The final approval will probably come right away.
One difficulty we face is people want power, but they do not want the power generation facilities in their backyard. We are considering another power plant or additions to existing plants. Those ideas are still in the planning stages and nothing is definite at this time, Walje concluded.
Ernest Wessman, vice president of resource development and construction was next. Utah is one of the three or four fastest growing states in the nation. We need enough generating capacity to meet the needs during peak demands. We have not had to raise rates until now because we have found more efficient ways to do our work. We have made modest improvements in the past year in less frequent outages and duration of those outages. However, we are not advancing as fast as wed like.
The current rates which we charge do not support our level of investment. Pressure on rates is upward and our next rate case will be filed soon. We have set targets for improvement and we are working with Emery County officials toward those goals.
It is a monumental task to get a power plant on the ground. It takes years and billions of dollars. It also takes into account our obligation to serve our customers and their needs, and because we serve six states, all six of those states must agree on each project.
We have a 20 year plan and we review and renew that plan every two years. That plan was last updated in 2005. That plan selects the types and timing of new plants, but not a specific resource. In the plan, there is a planning margin that says we must be capable of delivering 15 percent over the demands at peak times. By 2011, our projected demand will be more than our supply capability.
We know our needs and must plan for them. In the 2012-2014 time frame, we will need more generating capabilities. By 2012, there will be a new power plant in either Utah, Idaho or Wyoming to meet our estimated demands. The decision has not yet been made as to where it will be located.
Our gas fired plant near Mona will be operational within the next two weeks, and the Lake Side plant will be coming online soon after that. Another aspect that we consider is the comparison of purchasing the power from other suppliers or to build our own generating plants. Consideration and approval is a lengthy process, so to meet the needs of 2012, a decision will be required and the process of approval must begin by mid 2006.
Studies are underway now which will determine the direction we will go. We are considering a Hunter 4 supercritical unit, a Hunter 4 IGCC unit, a Jim Bridger 5 supercritical unit, a Jim Bridger 5 IGCC unit, or unit 3 to IPP which would be a conventional pulverized coal unit.
Work is continuing on the environmental permitting and other studies that keep additional options available. The selection of the next resource is not imminent, said Wessman.
Following the presentation from Walje and Wessman, each took questions from the audience. During that time they said that Utah Power/PacifiCorp is exploring alternative energy producing sources, but at the moment coal is still the preferred source. The company is researching ways to reduce the environmental footprint of coal fired power plants.
When asked about the use of natural gas in gas fired power plants, Walje stated that the high volume of gas use that it takes to run a power plant can impact the price of natural gas to homeowners. The price should begin to come back down as natural gas production increases.
At the conclusion of the informational session, Walje informed the group that in six-eight months, the group will return for another update.

Burrows' value through the Prism of Darren Helm's Extension
Patrick Johnston
June 19 2012 03:30PM
I got paid!
Today, Darren Helm signed an extension with the Detroit Red Wings that will pay him $8.5 million over four years (2.125 million dollar cap-hit). Superficially, that looks quite similar to the contract that Alex Burrows signed in 2009, doesn't it? How the heck does a player which just 32 career goals find himself signing a contract similar to Burrows'? Is Helm going to break out like Burrows did and score 89 goals over the next three years? Unlikely, but that isn't what Detroit is paying him for...
Read more about the parallels between Helm's new deal and Burrows' 2009 contract after the jump!
When Burrows signed his extension in March of '09, he was finishing up his first season as a fixture on the twins' right wing, a season in which he scored 28 goals. It was something of a gamble from Mike Gillis, but if it played out well, the Canucks would be getting a consistent scorer for far below what the market was valuing 25-30 goal scorers at. That deal has turned out to be money.
How has the value of Burrows' contract been? In 2011-12, the 31-year-old Quebecer was 15th in the league in goals per 60 minutes, scoring at a rate similar to Bobby Ryan (25 years old), Patrick Sharp (30) and Evander Kane (20). Those are three interesting players to compare him with - Ryan, right in the middle of his star curve; Sharp, a player who broke out in much the same way as Burrows; and Kane, a young player, clearly on the rise to stardom.
Sharp is probably the best comparison for Burrows, and he just recently signed a contract extension for an annual cap hit of $5.9 million. His previous contract was a hair under $4 million. Over the past three seasons, where Burrows' cap hit was $2 million, Sharp scored 92 goals.
Ryan, six years younger than both Sharp and Burrows, has scored 100 goals over the same period, and now carries a $5.1 million dollar cap hit. Kane, the youngest of the lot, is up for a new contract, but his bonus-laden entry-level deal counted for $3.1 million against the cap.
So how do we end up talking about Darren Helm? Well, his underlying numbers are an easy place to start: Burrows and Helm have comparable Corsi On and Quality of Competition numbers.
|16.1 corsi on
|-0.459 QoC
|1.23 g/60
|0.9 pens drawn
|11.2 corsi on
|-0.668 QoC
|0.67 g/60
|2.1 pens drawn
What we can glean from this is that Helm plays less, but those minutes are similar in difficulty to the minutes Burrows plays. Helm scores at about half the rate that Burrows, but he drives play in those minutes and draws twice as many penalties. Helm's a pretty interesting player, isn't he?
Is Helm's ability to draw penalties a result of his speed? In any case, it's a clear strength, and no one on the Canucks comes close. Helm is two years younger than Burrows was when he signed his own extension in 2009, and if Helm can begin to fill the net more regularly, Detroit will also have a massive bargain on their hands. Even if he can't, Detroit is an efficient power-play team, and Helm's ability to put his opponent's a man-short will indirectly produce a good deal of offense.
Alex Burrows can start talking about a contract extension with the Canucks once the free agency window opens on July 1st. Clearly, with his scoring ability, he's due a hefty raise. But will the Canucks be willing to lock him in long term? That seems doubtful- remember, Mikael Samuelsson was 32 when he signed his three year, $7.5 million contract with the Canucks in 2009. That was after a dependable four years with the Red Wings, a period in which he topped out at 20 goals.
So where does Alex Burrows go from here? He's scored more than Samuelsson had at the same age. Patrick Sharp, with his similar numbers, was just signed and his performance garnered a huge raise. Play well and, like Darren Helm, you'll get paid. Score on top that? You can skip and jump on your way to the bank. Burrows has done that, and if the Canucks are hoping to keep him in Vancouver for the long-haul, they'll have to be prepared to open the vault.
June 19 2012, 09:11PM
My concern in the past few years is the line; we spoke to his agent and got the hometown discount.Had to throw that in just because I am perplexed when it comes to some of the most recent signings; i.e. Ballard, and will even mention the twins because of what they bring to the table. Alex Burrows in my estimation, aside from some of the antics, is one of the better players in the league, and almost all the clubs would love to have this guy. He not only scores, but he brings a element that I think is lacking in our game today, and is exciting to watch. He genuinely plays with heart. So what I'm saying here, if they come to him with a skimpy, like Ren and Stimpy offer, this should be the day he should pull up stakes and go to another team. Do we want to lose this guy; hardly. As you have indicated in the comparisons, his play level versus pay stub is way below his worth. Our Nuck's have a small number of players that I think are overpaid, and some have made the sacrifice to sign for less. As the clock ticks to a new deal I am really hoping that Mike and Lawrence treat this guy with the respect, and reward that he deserves.

It wouldn't be December without candy canes, but I'm not willing to eat corn syrup or red 40, blue 1, yellow 5, or any of the other chemical weapons present in conventional brands. Fortunately, I tracked down some Pure Fun Organic Candy Canes at Whole Foods. They're made with evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup, and peppermint extract, and colored with a mix of elderberry, apple, and black currant juice. No refined sugars, no freakish dyes, and they taste exactly like normal candy canes. They're available online, but shipping is steep. Amazon sells Organic Peppermint Swirl Mint Pinwheels, which are the wrong shape but right flavor.
Since a dozen candy canes is a few too many to just straight up eat, I considered some pepperminty desserts. A google search turned up some good ideas, but I finally settled on a holiday treat that is stupidly easy: pretzels dipped in chocolate, dipped in smashed up candy canes. Salty and sweet and incredibly addictive, they're perfect for a party or last-minute gift.
I used Glutino Pretzel Twists (remarkably tasty and normal) for this no-bake gluten-free alternative to Christmas cookies. The straightforward ingredients and method have been documented on dozens of blogs, but I'll share my tips and ratios.
Peppermint Chocolate-Dipped Pretzelssalted pretzels, any shape
12-oz. bag vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (white chocolate would be nice, too)
12 peppermint candy canes
Clear some counter space and lay out sheets of wax or parchment paper.
Place candy canes in a sealed plastic bag and smash (!) with a hammer or rolling pin until they are like fine gravel, but not completely pulverized. Pour the crushed candy canes in a small bowl and set aside.
Melt chocolate gently. (Create a poor man's double boiler by setting the bottom of a small metal bowl in a pot of hot water.) Set melted chocolate beside crushed candy canes.
Use chopsticks or skewers to submerge pretzels one at a time in melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. Dip pretzels in crushed candy canes and set on wax paper, leaving space between pretzels.
Or dispense with the skewers and use your fingers to dip half of each pretzel in the chocolate and candy canes. Still pretty.
Place pretzels in a cool, dry place and allow to set for 2-3 hours.
