Editor's note: This story was originally published Aug. 30, 2012.
TAMPA – Mitt Romney formally accepted the Republican nomination for president Thursday night, addressing a spirited and roaring crowd of party faithful with an address in which he wished "President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed."
But Obama's campaign promises from four years ago "gave way to disappointment and division," Romney said in an address at the Tampa Bay Times Forum that wrapped up the Republican National Convention.
"Hope and change had a powerful appeal. But tonight I'd ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama?"
MORE: Full coverage of the GOP conventionPHOTOS: Top images from Tampa
Romney added, "You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him."
After the address, and the last of 100,000 balloons had dropped from the ceiling, the GOP ticket of Romney and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan was cemented into place and primed for the final two-month charge for the presidency.
Ryan, 42, was the star of Wednesday's convention, also drawing big ovations and signaling the emergence of a younger, more conservative generation of party leaders.
Thursday was Romney's time to shine.
The evening was aimed at introducing the sometimes stiff and distant politician as a businessman, Olympic savior and religious family man. His pitch to his party and to undecided voters will be that he's the candidate better able to shoulder the country's economic burdens.
Romney, 65, is the married father of five with 18 grandchildren. He talked at length about his family and "unconditional love," appearing to choke up when he talked about how close his parents were. He also talked about communities and family values.
Romney also promised a five-step plan to create 12 million jobs. A first step, he said, will be to make North America energy independent by 2020.
A plan to create jobs makes sense to Vonda Wiedmer, 63, who held an American flag aloft and swayed in time to rock music with two other Kansas delegates during a break in speeches.
"Show '44 the door," one of her nine lapel buttons declared. Wiedmer said she is dismayed by layers of government regulation she feels have been added by the Obama administration.
"There are people who can't make it anymore because of regulation," she said. "We are losing our freedom. I'm going to work for Romney-Ryan with every fiber of my being."
Several warm-up speakers touted Romney's credentials.
The convention also included a bit of Hollywood glamour: the appearance of iconic actor-director Clint Eastwood.
Eastwood's gag of talking with an invisible Obama in an empty chair on the stage drew some of the loudest ovations of the night. Minutes later, a new twitter account @InvisibleObama had drawn more than 10,000 followers.
Three Olympic gold medalists introduced to raucous applause and cheers of "USA! USA!" recounted his rescue of the scandal-ridden 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Mike Eruzione's winning goal in the 1980 hockey game against the Soviet Union capped "The Miracle on Ice." Derek Parra won gold in the 1,500-meter speed-skating event in 2002. Kim Rhode won medals in skeet shooting in five consecutive Olympic Games.
Speakers bringing more weighty political backgrounds to the podium included Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, darling of Tea Party conservatives and once a vice presidential short-lister.
Rubio accused the President Obama of driving an $800 billion stimulus that created more debt than jobs.
"Now millions of Americans are insecure about their future," he said. "But instead of inspiring us by reminding us of what makes us special, he divides us against each other."
Another popular podium guest was Jeb Bush, who sang Romney's praises, talked about education and threw in an ardent defense of his big brother.
Bush said he's tired of listening to President Obama slamming former president George W. Bush. He called his brother "a man of integrity, courage and honor. And during incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe."
He said it was time for Obama to stop blaming George Bush for the nation's economic woes. "You were dealt a tough hand, but your policies have not worked," he said.
Bush said the election isn't about one office but one nation.
"If we want to continue to be the greatest nation on the planet, we must give our kids what we promise them: an equal opportunity," he said. "That starts in the classroom. It starts in our communities. It starts where you live.
"And it starts with electing Mitt Romney the next president of the United States."
Russell Cain, 64, a delegate from Port Lavaca, Texas, was energized by the entire convention. "I feel great," he said. "I am excited that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going to be our candidates, and they are going to bring America back to what it used to be."
Not everyone in the hall was an Obama fan. Three demonstrators, two women and one man, who chanted "Democracy is not a business" during the speech were wrestled out of the hall by security.
As soon as Romney finished speaking, Tampa's 15 minutes of fame ended, and Charlotte's begins. Democrats gather there Tuesday for their own three-day convention, which will feature speeches by Obama, Vice President Biden, former president Bill Clinton, Sen. John Kerry and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker.
Obama hasn't been taking this week's Republican pummeling quietly. Speaking near the University of Virginia on Wednesday, he blasted the Romney-Ryan ticket as climate-change deniers set to cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans by $5 trillion and meddle with women's reproductive rights.
"He calls my health care law Obamacare," Obama said. "I call his plan 'Romney Doesn't Care.' "

Almost perfect
"They are the perfect height, basic look perfect for work, easy to walk in, but it isn't as easy to slip on. I never buy wide shoes, but these make me feel like I need to, but they do get on. Also it is tight running up the top middle, so after wearing them all day the metal part digs into my foot and leaves an imprint. Other then that they are comfy and great for work."

This B- list mostly television actor who had a great role on a great hit cable show walked out of an interview last week when a reporter called him black
. The actor said he isn't black and it really ticked him off.
Will Smith pffftReplyCancel
Jesse "Dreamy Eyes" Williams?ReplyCancel
Walton Goggins from Justified.ReplyCancel
VIP -So do you think enty is off the whole premium/paid cable vs cable as far as show clues?ReplyCancel
Why would he be ticked off? It's not like it's an insult. Unless you're a racist. You better not be a racist, Khal Drago.ReplyCancel
well to play devils advocate–and this might stir-things-up a little BUT if it was a very light skinned black person and the reporter mentioned him being white and he got offended and ended the interview people wouldn't say shit…(I PERSONALLY think buddy is being a drama queen but it is true)ReplyCancel
Seven – I assume the purpose of this blind IS to imply that whoever this is about is probably racist because they got so made about being called black.ReplyCancel
Is there anyone in a cable show that is bi-racial? That is the only way I can see this happening-as an example only–Kris Humphries who is almost white but is bi-racial, or Griffith from the LA Clippers.ReplyCancel
or the actor could be from a race that is underrepresented in Hollywood such as latin or philipeno and he could be tired of people lumping him into a category of black or white and assuming he is something he is not without doing any research or even askingReplyCancel
@Derek Filipino 🙂ReplyCancel
I had this whole train of thought re: Jessie "Dreamy Eyes" Williams; there was such (created) controversy regarding his almost / not at all being cast in The Hunger Games, and if someone asked him about being black in reference to that, I could see huffyReplyCancel
@trainrides THANKS!!! I really did try!ReplyCancel
LOL @Michael H – FTW!ReplyCancel
@Derek And I love you for that. :p
Here, have some dinuguan
"BUT if it was a very light skinned black person and the reporter mentioned him being white and he got offended and ended the interview people wouldn't say shit"
What? Of course people would say something, probably quite a bit. Can't you just hear the "White people are sooooo picked on" crowd going mental if some actor got offended for being called White on television? I can – easily.ReplyCancel
What's the point of asking such a question? How about, what's your ancestry? Oh, wait, it must be E! news journalism! (Also, ticking Jason Mamoa off… I'd do it just so he'd haul me off to the bedroom for a time-out – wink, wink, nudge, nudge – but instead of asking him if he was black, I'd ask his opinion of GRR Martin.)
@VIP, thanks for confirming. @Talks, I hated that Jesse wasn't cast as Finnick. He was so Finnick to me – deep skin, gorgeous eyes, oozing sex appeal. I've heard the guy they cast works, so I'll just cast Jesse in my mind. :bReplyCancel
He's fine, you know, he does NOT have dreamy eyes, but he works.ReplyCancel
Momoa was at Sundance. He fits. Agree with those above saying he wasn't angry because he's some racist. His marriage indicates he's not. Rather, he was unhappy that reporter didn't do his/her homework.ReplyCancel
Sundance. If the altitude doesn't get you, the lack of sleep will!ReplyCancel
If a person's cultural and racial identity is important to them, of course it matters. I love the Momoa guess fwiw, and it's like calling someone Chinese when they're really Korean; it's not the same, and pretending it is, is just being ignorant and dismissive of someone's culture. Get it right.ReplyCancel
Just to change a bit, Raj from Big Bang Theory.
And I agree this is not racism, just ignorance by the American journalist.ReplyCancel
I wouldn't want a Samoan pissed at me. Them people is tough as nails.ReplyCancel
Michael Ian Black.ReplyCancel
Crila-some people just dont have an eye for that. I dont-i am constantly surprised by someone identifying as black when i either never thought of it or just dont have good eye for that. So the opposite cld totally happen. It cld be annoying i guess. People always think im jewish-since im a kid-and i dont get offended.ReplyCancel
This is why you are all wrong about Giancarlo Esposito — he was in "Do The Right Thing"…as a black character. He's Italian and Black. That man does not deny his heritage, especially considering he's played several black characters, especially historical.ReplyCancel
Perhaps the actor is African and took offense at being called "black?" I know a lot of people from various parts of Africa that cannot stand being considered an American Black.ReplyCancel
@LowKey, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, however the order of demand goes!ReplyCancel
Having scrummed down with a lot of islander brahs (Samoans, Tongans, Fijians), those guys can be a little touchy about being mistaken for black. They take their tribal heritage seriously. You really don't want to piss of one of the brahs.ReplyCancel
Very interesting comments and guesses, but all I can think of is Dave Chappelle as Clayton Bigsby, the blind, black white supremacist. I miss the Chappelle Show.ReplyCancel
I like the Jason Momoa guess too. For the longest time I thought he was black too. He's 1/2 Hawaiian and white.ReplyCancel
WM gave an extensive discussion about this in the directors discussion of the Human Stain. He discussed what it meant to be biracial and his own life. It's on the same CD as the movie.ReplyCancel
Interesting discussion. I do think it wld be tiring to be called black if African or another ethnicity, much the same as being called any number of Asian distinctions except for the right one, etc; In an interview an actor should be able to expect an interviewer to have basic knowledge of their subject.ReplyCancel
Key is the past tense "had". Giancarlo Esposito had a great role on Breaking Bad. Jason Momoa HAS a great role on Game of Thrones.ReplyCancel
Jason doesn't have a current role on GoT mydarkredpassenger; he was only in season 1 and had a short cameo in another season.ReplyCancel

Sanjay Mirchandani of EMC Corporation shares how cloud computing is changing the conversation with the business and can deliver a long-term strategic impact.Interview conducted by Bo Parker
Sanjay Mirchandani is senior vice president and CIO of EMC Corporation. As CIO, Mirchandani is responsible for extending EMC's operational excellence and driving technological innovations to meet the current and future needs of the business. Mirchandani also leads EMC's network of global delivery centers in India, Ireland, China, Egypt, Russia, and Israel. These centers support EMC's worldwide research and development efforts, as well as provide customer support and shared services.
Mirchandani previously served as senior vice president, leading the EMC Office of Globalization. In this role, he identified global growth opportunities and developed the EMC business processes and infrastructure required for global expansion. He was also responsible for bringing new strategic international partners into EMC's Global Alliances program. Prior to joining EMC, Mirchandani was Microsoft's regional vice president, Enterprise Services, Asia, where he worked with the region's largest customers and partners.
Mirchandani earned a master's in business administration from the University of Pittsburgh and a bachelor's degree from Drew University.In this interview, Mirchandani details the impact of cloud computing in changing the role of the IT function to one that supports business development, innovation, and provisioning the user experience.
PwC: Why is cloud computing taking on so much importance? What is the big change?
SM: In the broadest technology sense, the cloud computing wave allows the unification of liquid pools of storage, network, and computing.
In a cloud model, these resources are offered back to users as a service that's consumed "as needed" rather than "how built." The result is a compute environment that can be used or consumed like a public utility. Historically, these IT resources evolved much more independently, not as coordinated as we see now. That maturity, along with the microprocessor evolution, is making this step change significant. We're seeing incredible leaps in technology capabilities in short windows of time that allow us to be much more responsive to the business than in previous cycles.
At the risk of appearing controversial, I'd say this is really the first time where the computing platform—in this case cloud computing—is enabling focus on conversations among IT and application owners, as opposed to applications forcing an infrastructure decision. In addition, it is evolving the roles and responsibilities within IT, allowing them to be pooled and made more efficient.

Snag Proof Bleedin' Frog 1/2oz
|Snag Proof
|Bleedin' Frog
6 Colors
More From Snag Proof Topwater
Customer Reviews
Comments: 5/5 Amazing frogs. The hook is bigger and badder than any other frog on the market. Owner custom red increases hook ups and lands you more fish. The rubber is soft, really soft and last there is a inner rattle that makes some noise. Great "Slop Frog" Walks nice and has that big hook that helps huge in pulling bass from cover. Chuckles and Pearl White are my top picks.
From: Mike: Ontario, Canada 1/3/15
Comments: I love this frog. I live just outside Chicago and fish locally. I caught over 130 bass on this frog last Summer. It walks great (I trim about an inch of the legs because I like the legs to spread on the stop). It is nicely ballanced with a front weight so that it walks flat, and there is a stop so that the fish cannot pull the frog down the hook, like the Spro frog. Hookup ratio is great with those big owner hooks and super soft body. You can't go wrong with this frog! All the colors work.
From: Kurt: Oak Forest, IL
Comments: This is a great frog. it has a great hookset.
Comments: If not the best, not far from it. Good resistance, excellent hookset ratio, easy to walk, easy to tune, GREAT ! The only black point is the color choice that is a bit to small compared to the quality of that frog. Best of all, its price. Buy one and keep cool on the bites...!
From: Fab: France
Comments: I lost my last Swamp Donkey frog a couple of weeks ago. They quit making the Swamp Donkey and I have been trying to find another frog as good as they were. The Snag Proof frog is as good or better as the Swamp Donkey. I fished the grass on Pickwick Lake in TN. and I caught around 20 bass all different sizes. I love the size and colors, the frog walks the dog very well. You can cast it under boat docks with ease and fish love it. Another thing, you don't lose a lot of fish and hook set ratio is pretty good compared to some of the other frogs I own. For the money you can't beat this frog.
From:William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments:Great frog! Used it in canals and ponds, the bass do hit it. The only problem is the hookset, it is a bit hard but I assume it needs some practice. Overall, use this frog for nice bass, and should be a key part of every fisherman's tackle box.
From:Johan: Florida

I realize the poor timing (as a bunch of you are probably waiting for Naruto around now) and the abruptness, but I felt you guys you should know I'm taking a hiatus from scanlating effective immediately. The plan is to take care of some very overdue RL work projects and alleviate some of the stress that's been accumulating on the manga scene.
Since a large part of our fan base downloads Binktopia's Naruto I felt this announcement was important because it may affect release times. Kylara plans on picking up the slack while I'm gone and we'll see about finding her some help so that the speed isn't affected. She has the preclean scripts and methods for our Naruto scans so it shouldn't be different.
I'll continue to bug fix and take care of small administration duties on MangaShare in the meantime. Thanks guys!
Edit: 403 will be delayed or skipped during this transition.

Both the digital cable TV boxes in my house (one in bedroom, one in living room) are sensitive to the sparking from a hand operated mechanical charcoal starter we use to light candles. One click and the TV screen freezes with random pixelation weirdness and about two seconds later all is well. The one in the living room also does that when the microwave door is closed and started. And these cable boxes are all metal encased devices made by Motorola, not some fly by night company. RFI can be a strange animal to live with.Lefty

Welcome to The Breakup Cookbook, where we practice catharsis through cooking.
Through years of experience, we've learned the best way to get over a breakup doesn't involve 2 a.m. phone calls or checking your email for a message from "him." The secret is to create something that will help you feel better, like a deep dish of mac 'n' cheese along with an apple martini, topped off with a decadent piece of chocolate cheesecake. Also, we'll have relationship advice from those who have been there, done that and baked the cake.
We believe there's no better way to answer the question of "Did he really love me?" than to find the tools to help you move on. Then everyone will get a good night's sleep. Or, in other words, eat a slice of cheesecake and you'll feel better for a minute; learn how to make cheesecake and you're ready for whatever comes your way.

In Tulips and other stimulants Lambert was interested in the overall pattern of the bouquet, the shape and colour of the flowers, the fruit and fruit bowl, the forms of the jug, the wine decanter and glass, and the mottled pattern of the tablecloth. He simplified the illustrative elements and subdued them to the demands of his formal design, adding and subtracting items to his composition to achieve the right balance. He ably captured the tone and texture of the range of elements in this still life, using strong colours.
Lambert revealingly noted in a letter to Sydney painter Adrian Feint on 3 January 1928 that he wanted to get the painting away from the studio, as it was completed and he felt that he might be tempted to overdo the finishing. He commented that he had 'finished or made definite the drawing of the white jug' and that he had improved the glass decanter 'with regard to the surface and reflexions'. He observed that 'the apple on the left is now properly turned in modelling, to take its place in the bowl'. He said that 'a glass has been introduced to balance the sparkle of the decanter', and to 'carry the eye away from the too diagonal composition the picture presented before this addition' and finally, that 'the table cloth has been repainted with I think satisfactory result' and there was a 'general improvement of textures over all' (AGNSW RL).
In this still life he depicted tulips and London pride in the ceramic jug, and apples, over-ripe bananas and plums in the white bowl. The title, as the reviewer for the Sydney Morning Herald observed on 29 November 1927, was a 'whimsical allusion to the fact that a decanter of wine stands on the table near the group of flowers'.
The painting was purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 'A group of contemporary painters' exhibition in Sydney in November–December 1927. Lambert's other work in that modernist exhibition was The audience: Mrs Lambert, Mr Gordon and Mr Snekker (cat.111).

Virgin Blue Expands Car Rental Choices30/03/2010
Hertz and Thrifty join Europcar as Virgin Blue's car rental partners
Tuesday, 30 March 2010: The Virgin Blue Airlines Group has launched a new car hire booking site which allows Guests to search and select from a broad range of car hire companies, car types and prices across local and global destinations.
The launch of the new site coincides with the expansion of Virgin Blue's range of car rental partners, adding Hertz and Thrifty to its long-standing Partnership with Europcar.
Virgin Blue, V Australia and Pacific Blue Guests can easily search and compare car hire companies within the one convenient website. Rentals with Europcar, Hertz and Thrifty will include an additional incentive of Velocity Points – the higher your Velocity Membership status the more Points you will earn within Australia and New Zealand. All International rentals will receive a flat rate of 800 Velocity Points.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Brett Godfrey, said: "The new Partnerships with the globally recognised brands Hertz and Thrifty will now give our Velocity Members expanded choice and they can now earn Velocity Points at all three car rental partners across Australia, New Zealand and around the world."
"We have long been pleased with our relationship with Europcar and are particularly excited by now being able to count Hertz and Thrifty as partners too, because it means our Guests can choose to stay with their preferred car hire provider when they fly with us – and, of course, we have always been a champion of providing consumers with more choice and the benefits of true competition,' he said.
Jacqueline Lehmann, Region Vice President and Managing Director of Hertz Australia, said: "The new partnership between Hertz Australia and the Virgin Group of Airlines is a significant and exciting development for Hertz, and one which will add great value and offer more choice for the business and leisure customers of both companies,"
Thrifty CEO, Bryn McGoldrick, said: "Thrifty is delighted to establish a new relationship with the Virgin Blue Airlines Group. We are confident that we can offer Virgin Blue Guests genuine value and an excellent customer experience. As part of the NRMA Motoring & Services group, with over 2 million members located throughout NSW and the ACT, we feel we bring a new and exciting dimension to this important partnership and we look forward to working with Virgin Blue, V Australia and Pacific Blue to provide great offers and service to their guests. This is an exciting opportunity for Thrifty and we look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with an airline that shares our passion for quality and great value."
Since 2002 Virgin Blue has offered Guests great value car hire through its successful Partnership with Europcar.
Ron Santiago, Managing Director of Europcar Australia and New Zealand, said: "Europcar is extremely pleased to build on the successful 8 year partnership with Virgin Blue for a further 3 years. With the Virgin Blue Airlines Group expanding their services, Europcar is excited in being able to provide outstanding vehicles with great rates to Virgin customers in their new destinations, whilst continuing to provide renters with the opportunity to earn Velocity Points."
Virgin Blue's new car hire booking site is powered by "Car Trawler", a global car rental distribution system, which will drive greater choice and excellent value for money to Virgin Blue Guests and Velocity Members. Car Trawler's COO, Mike McGearty, said: "We are delighted to be part of this new and exciting development with The Virgin Blue Airlines Group. Our multi-supplier search engine allows all Virgin Blue passengers to search in confidence for the best car rental deals."

They have:
- on front:
- Guts as the physical attacker and evil eater,
- Serpico as the swift wind slasher,
- Isdiro as the flame piercer and bomber,
- half mermaid as the water and sound user,
- on the back:
- madame in distress Caska,
- support magician Farnese,
- attack and support magician Shrieka,
- summons:
- elemental spirits,
- fairy the healers,
- child of prophecy, the moon crawler,
- hellhound,
- event characters/summons:
- Skull Knight as the riding savior.
The Mustacho Knight could become their defender class character, since he seems slow and heavily armored.
Serpico is mentioned as the only one ready for the next step, but all other elemental users should also gain a power up eventually, especially since there might be a short time skip when they reach the island.
For the time being, according to Skull Knight, Guts have 2 choices/roads:
- save Caska,
- kill Grifith.
He can't do both. Seeing as he still posses the Behelit and the most important person in his life is Caska and that he already is quite powerful, by sacrificing her and becoming an apostle he should have enough power to take revenge on Grifith.
The other option is that he will get a new armor, just like Skull Knight got a new one (it's possible that the armor itself gives elf aura, rather than Skull Knight himself).

Greetings, humans. My name is JJ Fletcher, and I am pleased to welcome you to my chief of staff's web domain here at melaniefletcher.com.
Ho-hum -- I suppose I should say something at this juncture about the Redheaded One. When not bathing, grooming, feeding, petting or otherwise entertaining us with our favorite bathroom show, "When Apes Get Wet!" she spends her time cleaning our litter tray, obtaining new and interesting toys and generally ensuring that our lives remain comfortable and full of kibble. Oh, and apparently she writes, as well -- I myself prefer to watch C-Span, but to each his own.
If you're new to the site, I encourage you to browse through our pages. We're always happy to receive Email, although general meanness and (ahem) catty comments will be met with icy hauteur and a nasty scratch. Don't say I didn't warn you.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I must lick my butt.

Longtime MS community support group leader Danny Velasquez and KUTV2 (CBS) meteorologist Debbie Worthen have been named to the National MS Society Utah-Southern Idaho Board of Trustees announced Chapter President Annette Royle.
"Danny and Debbie bring a real passion for helping people with multiple sclerosis move their lives forward," said Royle. "They are great additions and will add valuable perspectives to support us with our important work, creating a world free of MS."
The Chapter's Board of Trustees' goals include mobilizing people and resources to drive research for a cure and addressing the challenges of everyone affected by MS. It is responsible for governing the business and affairs of the Chapter to ensure activities support the mission, a world free of MS. Board members serve in a variety of roles helping to grow awareness, education, advocacy and fundraising efforts.
The Chapter's board, currently led by Chairman Bob Harmon of Harmon's Grocery, is comprised of a mix of business and community leaders as well as research and medical experts.
Velasquez has volunteered with the Chapter for more than a decade as a support group leader. He has assisted with Chapter programs to better serve people with MS in Southeastern Utah. He served on the Chapter's 2009-2011 Strategic Planning Committee. Velasquez is a national trainer for the Society helping to educate new support group leaders around the country and is a driving force behind the local group in Price.
"I consider this an honor serving on the Chapter's Board of Trustees," commented Velasquez. "I may have multiple sclerosis, but multiple sclerosis doesn't have me. MS affects everyone differently and when you recognize how it affects you, you can then make the necessary adjustments in your life to move forward in spite of MS. Living with multiple sclerosis is all about making adjustments to the many surprises of MS. Living in a rural area, I look forward to bringing that perspective and my experiences to the Board of Trustees as we work together toward finding a cure."
In 2007, Velasquez was honored by the Chapter at the annual Dinner of Champions with the Living with Hope Award, recognizing inspirational community champions. He has worked tirelessly to help people face the challenges MS brings to daily life.
Velasquez is a longtime employee of PacifiCorp, where he is the Lead Senior Technical Trainer for the Hunter Power Plant in Southeastern Utah. He was diagnosed with MS in 1997.

You Know What I Hate?! - Nov 2nd
Cam Davie
November 02 2012 01:54PM
THis lockout stinks worse than this pumpkin a week after Halloween.
But does anyone care anymore?
(Photo from @RealGregMyall15)
Today I bring back my weekly feature of me venting and raging on stupid crap happening with the Canucks, their fans and around the NHL. Two things about this feature... 1) It will appear sporadically, and 2) It is blatantly ripped off from a stand-up bit from comedian Craig Anton. On either point, I make no apologies. Enjoy. Or don't.
This week, in the glorious return of "You Know What I Hate?!" (please stop laughing), I eat from a big ol' bowl of NHL-lockout-flavoured hate.
You know what I hate?! There is no urgency on either side of the NHL labour dispute to get a deal done. No urgency at all. I am completely baffled by this. I cannot believe that all 29 owners are sitting around, thinking to themselves, "Man, I am really enjoying losing millions of dollars because of an empty arena. I love standing by my principals.
And there is no way that the players are gathered together, regaling in their love of playing Tier 2 Dutch league hockey against some fat clog-wearing Pannekoek maker because they're "sending a clear message to the league." Why aren't the Fehr brothers, Bettman and Daly sitting around a table, negotiating until a deal is reached?
It seems like with most other labour disputes, that's what happened. You lock yourselves in a room until you hash out a deal. And you bring in an independent arbitrator, if necessary. The stubbornness from both sides is appalling and moronic.
You know what I hate?! Everything about Gary Bettman. I try not to hate people, unless they are mass murderers or child rapists or some such demon. And Bettman is none of those things so I should qualify that I don't really hate Bettman. But I do hate how he acts and behaves.
I hate the smug look he gets on his face. I hate the way he answers questions. I hate the way he and the owners' executive committee have taken the NHL season away from us so far. I hate that he is still in a position of power with the league because we're forced to digest his brand of tripe whenever he gets to the microphone.
You know what I hate?! There is a small group of owners calling all the shots. Whether it is the "Gang of Four" owners, or the group that Elliotte Friedman suggested in his latest "30 Thoughts". As I said before, I just can't believe that all 29 owners are behind this lockout.
For instance, there is just no way that the ownership groups in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and New York (Rangers) are 100% behind this. They can't be. Their teams make boatloads of money and they're in the strongest markets. I really hope, at some point, there is a group of these owners that goes to Bettman and says "Why the hell are we doing this again? Get a deal done, Gary, because I'm losing money FAST."
You know what I hate?! People are losing their jobs because of the lockout. That SUCKS. Team employees, arena workers, wait staff... all being fired or laid off because there is no NHL hockey. Well, let me be clear - they're being let go because of greed and stubbornness.
It's a damn shame that a LOT of hard-working people with no skin in the game are having their livelihoods changed or taken from them because of this nonsense. The players don't care - half of them are in Europe or Russia happily playing to half-empty arenas earning their keep and having a great time. The owners don't care - for most of them, owning an NHL franchise is a hobby; a side deal. Their REAL businesses make them real money. The NHL is pocket change for them.
You know what I hate?! I don't care about the NHL right now... and maybe for good. It might sound like I care because of you've just read. To be clear, I hate the process that we've watched unfold. I hate the stalemate. I hate what the people involved are doing. It's incredibly frustrating to watch the league that governs my favourite sport just dissolve into oblivion.
You know this word, oblivion? It means to be totally forgotten by everyone forever. And that is what is happening to the NHL.
I am awash in unabashed apathy about the NHL right now. The NHL's big news this week is that it's cancelling the Winter Classic. Do I care? NOPE. Truly, not one bit. I have found refuge in watching the EPL and MLS and NFL. I love going to the rink three times a week to watch my kid play. I'll definitely buy tickets to a couple of Abbotsford Heat games this season to enjoy some good professional hockey. But *IF* the NHL comes back this year, it's not getting my money. Or my attention. Both have already been spent elsewhere.

"I hate the smug look he gets on his face. I hate the way he answers questions. I hate the way he and the owners' executive committee have taken the NHL season away from us so far. I hate that he is still in a position of power with the league because we're forced to digest his brand of tripe whenever he gets to the microphone."
I share your sentiments entirely. I often wonder how the NHL would function without Bettman calling the shots. It's my utopian dream.
@Marda Miller
Man, a future without Bettman... *smiles wistfully*
What the NHL needs is someone who has a strong financial acumen and business sense, but has also been on both sides of the table. You probably won't find a former owner that fits the bill, but a former player who's spent time in a team's front office would be ideal.
Oh please save the bs about not even showing interest in the NHL if it comes back for another site. If you write for a hockey blog you will at the very least be back watching the games thus putting money in the owners pockets, unless you watch them illegally of course.
November 02 2012, 03:46PM
Good to have you back, Cam.
November 02 2012, 05:30PM
I find it hard to believe the likes of Aquilini, Molson, TSN, Dolan, etc can't do anything to direct Bettman. They all have the power and influence to undermind him at the ownership level and Bettman knows it.
It was made very public, the vote to follow Bettman's plan was 29-0. Not one owner chose to challenge the plan.
And a guy like Aquilini shouldn't shy away from being fined $250,000 for speaking out. That's one condo sale out of 100,000 condos owned.
The owners should be getting the wrath from players and fans much more than Bettman. He's just playing the jerk to the tune of 8 schmill a year. I'd be twice the public jerk for half that money.
I've always loved the Canucks and absolutely hated the NHL. I would love to see a new World Hockey Association be formed and see teams defect to it. Starting with all the Canadian teams. See how the NHL likes having 33% of their revenue lost just like that. Great article on how Canadian teams are footing the bill for the loser franchises: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/canadian-nhl-clubs-sacrificing-revenue/article4525341/
A future without Bettman may very well be a future without a salary crap. The man has so many bads, but one of his good, is that he has and will stand firmly by the salary cap. A new commissioner may not be as steadfast in protecting it.
A future without Bettman may very well be a future without a salary crap. The man has so many bads, but one of his good, is that he has and will stand firmly by the salary cap. A new commissioner may not be as steadfast in protecting it.
Actually a cap will stay in place unless there is a revenue sharing plan put in place. The winner markets (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, New York) make so much money BECAUSE of the salary cap. Their HRR revenue is miles higher than the cap but since it is based on the entire league the loser teams pull the cap down. The real player shares on teams like that are probably below 40% whereas loser teams are 60+%.
Would the Sedins, Kesler, and Burrows taken should be pay cuts to stay in Vancouver if there had been no cap? New York would likely be back to its expensive free agent ways if there was no cap (look at the Yankees for a reminder of what NY fans expect).

Keven Jensen and Colton Grange recently attended the Utah Natural Resources Field School. The field school offers students a background in ecological principles and tools used to measure the health of our rangelands, as well as an understanding of the resource management process. Time is also spent learning and discussing the role of humans in natural resources, with special attention given to the process of resolving conflict. It was an intense week of hands-on outdoor activities, hikes and classroom study.
Keven, the son of Wade and Cassie Jensen of Cleveland, won the top spot and an all expense paid trip to Reno, Nev. to the Society for Range Management Convention where he will compete with students from other states in several categories. Keven was sponsored by the local conservation districts to attend the range camp.

LeBrun: "Canucks Front Office See (Lecavalier) as a possible fit if they can get out of cap hell"
Thomas Drance
June 27 2013 03:09PM
Image courtesy wikimedia commons.
Surely the most shocking piece of hockey news on Thursday involved Vincent Lecavalier, and the decision of the small market Tampa Bay Lightning to use a compliance buyout to get out from under his contract. The Lecavalier buyout will run the Lightning close to thirty-three million dollars over fourteen seasons according to capgeek.com, an NHL record that surely won't be topped (a Luongo buyout would run the Aquilini Group $27 million).
Over the past three seasons Lecavalier has recorded one-hundred and thirty-five points in one-hundred and sixty-eight games, so he's scored at a .8 points per game rate since his age thirty season. That's pretty impressive even though some of Lecavalier's production appears to be percentage driven of late and he's only an even possession player at this point in his career. Also he'll turn thirty-four by the first playoff round next season. Still, Lecavalier is an enormously productive top-six centreman who measures in at 6,4. Oh, he's also now poised to hit the open market in free-agency this summer.
Needless to say Lecavalier will have plenty of suitors, including the Canucks to hear Pierre LeBrun tell it on the Team 1050 on Thursday. "The Canucks front office has already talked to John Tortorella about this," Lebrun passed along on Thursday, "and they see this as a possible fit if they can get out of cap hell, which they're in now."
Read on past the jump.
There are, as I see it, a variety of potential and very significant hurdles to a possible union between Tampa Bay's former franchise centreman and the Vancouver Canucks. The first of those hurdles, as Pierre Lebrun pointed out, is Vancouver's complete lack of cap space. If the Canucks can rid themselves of the Luongo contract and are willing to use a compliance buyout on Keith Ballard, which y'know they totally should do, then you can begin to see how the Lecavalier math might work.
The other issue is how risky a Lecavalier deal would be for the Canucks or for any other team that signs him to a contract this summer, for that matter. Lecavalier is going to have options this summer, which will serve to dramatically inflate his value. That's a dangerous prospect when you're dealing with a guy who is rapidly approaching that point in his career where he's going to begin to incur significant "diminishing returns" as an offensive player.
Lecavalier doesn't appear to be there yet (he continues to draw penalties at a consistent, elevated rate which is something you like to see from an aging forward), but if you're buying Lecavalier's age thirty-three, thirty-four and thirty-five seasons in say, a three year deal, you need to understand that the value is unlikely to be there in year three of that pact.
Finally, TVA has already reported that Vincent Lecavalier would prefer to stay in the Eastern Conference:
Lecavalier ready to listen to Habs, @TVASports has learned. Prefers to stay in the Eastern Conf. (FRE) http://t.co/8oHVolH8fz— L.A. Lariviere (@L_A_theRiver) June 27, 2013
So if the Canucks are hoping to snare the 6,4 veteran on the open market, they'll have to absolutely ace their pitch. Being able to call on newly hired bench boss John Tortorella, who coached Lecavalier when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup almost a decade ago, could be helpful in this regard. Of course "helpful" and "sufficient' are two vastly different standards...
If the Canucks can sign Lecavalier this summer, it would go a long way toward addressing the club's gaping hole at the centre position in the short-term. Based on Lebrun's comments, team is apparently interested, but there are a lot of hurdles to clear first and there will be a lot of competition for Lecavalier's services on the open market. And even then, should the Canucks manage to win this summer's Lecavalier sweeps, what they'll really win is the right to sign an aging player to an overpriced deal...
"And even then, should the Canucks manage to win this summer's Lecavalier sweeps, what they'll really win is the right to sign an aging player to an overpriced deal..."
I agree - too many potential hurdles and downsides to this. Moving on...
but, wouldn't that mean Keith Ballard would have to give up his number 4?
Brad Richards 2.0
Great player, but no thanks. The Nucks have tried this before, and it failed multiple times. PLEASE someone younger, with a decent skill set, and workable cap hit.
June 27 2013, 03:49PM
For 2-3 years Vinny would be a PERFECT fit for this team in there CUP closing window.
I'm sure Vinny Lecavalier will note that Tortorella benched Brad Richards in the playoffs and move on.
Even if we can get Ballard and Luongo's contract off the books in their entirety, we'll only have at most 3m to spend on a centre. Lecavalier will go to the team that offers him the longest term, which won't be the Canucks.
We'll probably end up playing Burrows at centre and putting Jensen on the wing.
June 27 2013, 09:47PM
This years Shane Doan. Would be great to see him in Canuck colours, but only at the right term. If some team is going to offer him 4 years at 5 million, don't bother.
Richards is NO Lecavalier. Richards deserved to be benched and was benched because he was playing like a POS. Generally, the world rewards good play not POS play. That's why good teams win, they play good and bad teams play like a POS.
Sounds like Lecavalier wants this to be his last contract. If it's more than three years, I say pass. His signing could make someone else available anyways, as the dominoes fall.
This situation has the potential to set Lecavalier up for another buyout next year, which would be amazing. That's what I really want. You're up Feaster, make this happen.
@C -Team
What I mean is that Tortorella supposedly was a large reason Richards signed in New York.
Considering how the Torts/Richards saga ended in New York, perhaps Lecavalier with think twice about doing what Richards did when he followed Torts to a new team.
Forget Lecavalier, I'm just happy that boston got what they deserved from the hockey gods. The Hawks exposed Chara and Boston and the " Boston Bruins Style " of play is dead. Look for next year to all the other teams do the same thing to Boston that the Hawks, did...which is to simply play the mothers and walk around Chara like a pylon and make him run for the puck like a dog.
Boston couldn't handle the Hawks speed and counter ans even a better goaltender could not save them. Cahra looked good, when you don;t play him, but when you do, he's more of a liability than an asset. But the look on Boston players faces is something I will treasure forever, esp The Boston players who ran their mouths off season after they won the cup like Cheapshot Chara, Fingers Bergeron ,CryBaby Lucic, Rat Marchand and especially roid goon Thornton. Enjoy the choke, Boston chumps! And thanks you Leafs for losing to them, it's more painful to lose in the finals then it is the 1st round. Boston realized early that the Hawks aint the Canucks, LOL. It's too bad classless Recchi wasn't still on that team as well. There truly is divine karma. LOL
Here's to hoping Brad Richards also gets bought out, and Filpula goes to free agency. The more UFA centres available, the better for the Canucks. It drives the price of centres down, due to more supply. Maybe Bozak becomes an option for our 3C position. If his contract demands come down to the 4million or less range, we could afford him (assuming Lu and Ballard are gone).
@PK Paul
this is what being butthurt sounds like.
if you sign Bozak to 4m that and you get rid of both ballard and Luo without any cap penalities, means you will have 6m for the remaining 7 roster spots...
June 28 2013, 12:39PM
IF Lecavalier is smart, he signs with the team that gives him the best shot at winning for a very, very modest cap hit. He got paid $40 million over the last 4 years and has a lot of dough still coming his way. So if he is smart he signs for peanuts to help his new team bring in as much talent as possible. However, I doubt he will.

Why exactly is it smarter to take less money?
Typically taking the most money possible is the smartest decision.
Believe it or not, professional athletes have different motivations than what we like to project onto them.

Reading Pakistan Reports with a Skeptical Eye
As I read this report by Sabrina Tavernies in The New York Times this weekend, I found myself wondering how Douglas Johnston might read this. What am I missing? What is the reporter not telling me about madrasas that leads to a greater understanding on my, the reader's, part? What are the routines and teaching taking place in the madrasas. How do those teachings differ from Islamic school to Islamic school? If the Qur'an is the sole text, how is it used: purely for theological training? as a foundational text for reading and writing? as a tool for propaganda? as a source of philosophical discourse?
I ask because I fear I'm not literate enough about understanding the complexity of these issues and Pakistani society in general. So when I read sentences like this, "Suicide bombings were neither encouraged nor condemned," my internal alarm bells start ringing, which makes me slightly suspicious of other interesting points made in the report.
To me, the article touches on a significant point — Pakistan's inability to create a quality public school system. I'd like to read more than a few sentences about this. Perhaps another time.
Am I being overly analytical and parsing too much?

What is HD Radio™?
Radio stations have always used an analog mode for transmitting audio, and that has not ended — the standard broadcasts continue, and all radios can receive it. But stations can now transmit an additional signal that uses digital audio, called HD Radio™. Special radios are required to receive this transmission.
How can I tell if my radio gets HD Radio™ ?
Radios that can use the new transmission display a special HD Radio™ logo. Almost all radios display the station selected on a digital screen, but that's a different thing and does not mean the radio can use the digital audio of HD Radio™. The special logo is the key.
What's on WFCR's HD Radio™ signal?
WFCR actually transmits two HD Radio™ program streams. One is a digital version of what you hear on standard WFCR — the radio will show this as WFCR-1 or HD-1. The other offers classical music all day, and is labeled WFCR-2 or HD-2.
How do I tune in an HD Radio™ signal?
Just tune to 88.5 FM — the HD Radio™ will play the standard WFCR signal for about eight seconds, then automatically switch to WFCR-1. The delay allows the radio to acquire the digital data it needs, and an indicator in the display will confirm the switch. (On some radios you can manually switch back to analog for that listening session.) MORE >
When I tune it in, it doesn't always stay tuned in. Why not?
Sometimes an HD Radio™ can't get a good enough signal to get all the data it needs. For WFCR-1, the standard analog broadcast is always present and is used as a back-up signal. Your radio will switch seamlessly between the two if it needs to. MORE >
Do WNNZ and WFCR's low-power (translator) stations in the Berkshires also have HD Radio™ signals?
No, they don't. There is a version of HD Radio™ for AM radio stations like WNNZ, but the technology is problematic and has not been widely adopted. As to the Berkshire translators, the power level that the FCC would permit for HD Radio™ on them is so low that it would not be effective.
Will I get a better signal for HD Radio™ or standard FM radio?
HD Radio™ was designed to overcome one of FM radio's weaknesses, something called multipath. FM signals bounce off buildings, poles and hills on the way to your radio, and these reflected signals arrive slightly later than the direct signal does, and sometimes interferes with it. HD Radio™ was designed with built-in redundancy to overcome this, and while it doesn't solve the problem all the time in all terrains, it will overcome a lot of multipath problems. MORE >
Does HD Radio™ sound better than analog radio?
HD Radio™ has some of the beneficial characteristics of CDs, and the sound tends to have less background noise, greater clarity, a wider dynamic range, and greater separation of the left and right stereo signals than standard FM does. The data has to be compressed for transmission, but a sophisticated algorithm is used to make it sound as good as possible. As is true with standard radio, stations can tailor their equipment to create the sound they want, so HD Radio™ will not sound the same on every station.
Where can I buy an HD Radio, and in general find out more about it?
We suggest the main HD Radio™ site as the best resource for information. It includes lists of radios for different purposes (for cars, tabletops and home stereo systems) and links to vendors. The site is http://www.hdradio.com/.
What can I do to improve reception of NEPR?
The best thing you can do is to add an antenna to your radio, or experiment with its location if you already have one. Sometimes moving it just a few feet, or turning it in a different direction, will make a difference. They work best when fully extended.
How do I connect an indoor antenna to my radio or tuner?
There are two different types of connections, those designed for 75 ohm cables (typically a round cable with a connector on the end) and for 300 ohm cables (typically a wire with two flat prongs at the end that connect to screws on the radio). Inexpensive transformers are available if you need to connect a 300 ohm antenna to a 75 ohm jack, and vice versa.
My FM radio has an antenna — what's the best way to use it?
Portable radios: It's best to fully extend the whip antenna. Then rotate it around for best reception (try it both horizontally and vertically), or try moving the radio to a different location in the room.
For information on Clock or tabletop radios, Dipole antennas, and Amplified antennas, click here.
Are there outdoor FM antennas?
There are. We recommend that a professional installer be hired for putting them up, because they will be familiar with proper construction techniques, safety considerations (such as power lines near the house, grounding, etc.) and electrical codes. Experience also helps in finding the best way to mount the antenna and run its cable to your receiver. Any outdoor antenna should be mounted high and as far away from power lines, trees or other obstacles as possible.
What makes it so hard to get a good FM signal?
FM radio signals are line-of-sight transmissions, and one common problem is that a hill or building can block them, creating an electronic shadow.
Another problem is "multipath," which can occur when a radio picks up more than one signal from a station, one coming directly from the transmitter and at least one other having bounced off a hill or building. These secondary signals come in slightly later than the direct one and can interact with it in ways that degrade reception.
Can NEPR increase its power?
Unfortunately, it can't. The power levels for all stations are set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and fixed in place so that stations do not interfere with each other.
WFCR transmits with 13,000 watts from Pelham, Massachusetts (about 5.5 miles east of Amherst). Our five stations in the Berkshires (which are in a special category called "translator stations") are limited by regulation to low power, and use from 10 to 250 watts depending on their location. Our station in Deerfield, WNNZ-FM, has 100 watts.
Can AM 640, the NEPR News Network increase its power – especially at night?
The power level of WNNZ, and the shape or "directionality" of its signal, are also fixed by the FCC. WNNZ runs with 50,000 watts in the daytime, pointing northwest from Westfield, Massachusetts – that's a very powerful AM signal. But when the sun is down, it transmits with only 1000 watts. Most AM stations reduce power or go off the air at sunset — this was set by the FCC early in the history of AM radio because signals in that band travel through the atmosphere differently when the sun is down than when it's up.
How can I improve reception of AM 640 the NEPR News Network?
As with FM, a good antenna helps. The online catalogue company C. Crane has some AM antennas on its list.
What about using an Internet radio?
This is growing in importance all the time, and you can link to the streams of NEPR through a computer or Internet radio here. Once connected, you can use WiFi links in your home to distribute the signal. The NPR Shop has some Internet radios at http://shop.npr.org/radios/, as does C. Crane.
