CompTIA A+
A+ Certification CompTIA A+ certification validates foundation-level knowledge and skills necessary for a career in IT support. It is the starting point for a career. The international, vendor-neutral certification proves competence in areas such as installation, preventative maintenance, networking, security and troubleshooting.
CompTIA A+ certified technicians also have excellent customer service and communication skills to work with clients.
Two exams are necessary to be certified: CompTIA A+ Essentials, exam code 220-701; and CompTIA A+ Practical Application, exam code 220-702.
CompTIA A+ Essentials measures the necessary competencies of an entry-level IT professional with a recommended 500 hours of hands-on experience in the lab or field. It tests for technical understanding of computer technology, networking and security, as well as the communication skills and professionalism now required of all entry-level IT professionals.
CompTIA A+ Practical Application is an extension of the knowledge and skills identified in CompTIA A+ Essentials, with more of a "hands-on" orientation focused on scenarios in which troubleshooting and tools must be applied to resolve problems.
Candidate job roles include technical support specialist, field service technician, IT support technician, IT support administrator and IT support specialist. CompTIA A+ is part of the certification track for corporations such as Microsoft, HP and Cisco. Other technology companies, including Dell, Intel, Lenovo and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification mandatory for their service technicians. The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes CompTIA A+ and the Department of Homeland Security requires it as part of their computer forensics program.
The CompTIA A+ certification is accredited by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The CompTIA A+ certification may be kept current through the CompTIA Continuing Education program.

Skip to comments.President Obama has set in motion forces that he can't handle.
Posted on 02/17/2013 4:48:25 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Barack Obama is a terrible president. That's obvious to everyone who isn't chronically ignorant or incurably liberal. By "liberal" I don't mean the classic definition of the word which has to do with being open-minded and objective. I mean the modern version of liberal: self-centered, emotional, illogical, and void of reason. Unfortunately, in 2012 ignoramuses and liberals represented the majority of those who voted. I'm not worried about offending them with my harsh words. My very existence offends them, and so does yours if you don't buy into their worldview.
From economic policy to energy policy to environmental policy to foreign affairs to national security to border security to you name it, the president failed the test, but we re-elected him anyway. Obama's misadventures in the Oval Office are becoming the stuff of legend. Benghazi and Fast and Furious are two of his more high profile blunders, but they aren't the only ones. If George W. Bush had committed just one of those offenses, the mainstream media would have demanded his head on a platter, but they gave Obama a free pass. The nation as a whole became complicit in the president's shenanigans because we didn't demand that he be held accountable.
President Obama has done one thing superbly well: he has demonstrated skill par excellence on a national scale as a community organizer. He is second to none when it comes to inciting, agitating, race baiting, stoking fears, and motivating the masses. If you discount voter fraud, more than anything else, those skills got him re-elected. But like a snowball gathering momentum as it rolls down a hill, the forces that he has unleashed will be impossible to stop without pain and suffering.
For example, Occupy Wall Street's demands for social justice...
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
bump to that...
I hope the coming inferno consumes the President and the Democratic Party and all the delusional and hate-filled leftists who have enabled this catastrophic Presidency. All I went to see left is a pile of burnt cinders.
I don't care what's left. Like the guy (essentially) said, America is now nothing more than a giant land mass populated by ignorant cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be redistributed to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.
The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and theres no going back. America is dead.
The Democrats have won.
So yeah... a pile of burnt cinders works. (shrug) Who cares?
The flame has been lit and smoke will clear very soon. Those who lit this fire are going to pay dearly for blowing smoke up our asses.
NO! He passed! His aim is to destroy America. This mess is not an accident.
Obama is hoping for a nice replay of the Bolshevik Revolution, but the Second Amendment and a determined middle class are in his way.
BTTT you are absolutely right!
Cloward-Piven strategy in all it's glory-create an ever growing nation of government dependents, crash the existing welfare state with it, use them as soldiers to hold political power, and then create a socialist economy in the fallout.
I get really ticked at articles like this. They claim he's clueless then go on to list all the damage that he has purposely created and the tactics he's used. So just who is it that's truly clueless? The author!
I disagree. This guy is living in the past. Today's Americans are complacent and afraid to do anything that might upsxet the apple cart.
Conservatives believe that they will right the ship of state in the next election. Or the one after that. They fail to see that zero has perfected the art of stealing elections and, with a complicit media, complicit Congress, weak and misdirected RNC, and complicit SCOTUS in his corner, we don't grasp the fact that, in the next election, we will only lose more ground.
We have become the America that Ayn Rand described at the end of Atlas Shrugged. And, yet, we fail to see that as well.
America is being murdered before our eyes and all we are willing to do is say "maybe things will be better tomorrow."
You got it right.
His goal is to make his muslim daddy proud. Even though his muslim daddy is dead. And he wants to make Islam happy.....for his daddy. The man is one screwed up dude. Of course, I'd probably be screwed up, too, if my momma couldn't stay out of the sack with black muslims.
" Bottom Up, Top Down, Inside Out"....
I wish that I wasn't. Maybe they're afraid to tell the truth..........
After over a year, a new tagline.
Coming home...to roost...
Everyone sitting in their backrooms swearing they're invincible.
Not really a good tactic, maybe.
The welfare state is unsustainable at the current rate. The day is coming, soon, when those cards won't work anymore. Then what?
Which side would you bet on?
I never said that he was smart. I said that Obamas objective was to destroy America and he is succeeding. We aren't in a mess because of his lack of intelligence. America is a mess because, smart or stupid, he has hurt our country, on purpose.
So far, we're following Hitler's model. What happened when the German economy collapsed under Hitler?
Why lash out against the author? He's just stating an opinion, but from the title to the first sentence to the end, I can't see a single untruth. What's your beef?
Perhaps the thing "we" will disagree on is the nature an extent of the damage that's being done, and whether this will lead to "death by 1000 paper cuts" or one unforseen event will serve as the "tipping point" which will dramatically change the course of history - no one knows.
But it will happen, and that is the authors point.
obama is so stupid he is unable to form a purpose in his mind. he wasn't hired to do that job. (by his handlers). Didn't you ever notice he cannot attract talented appointees. All he can find are dreck.
Depends, doesn't it? If the dems are willing to muster the military against the population, and the military is willing to pull out all the stops on mass killing, it's going to be hard to stand up against. If the dems also are willing to import UN military forces, it's going to be even worse.
This may not be winnable except by a global, total war with no holds barred.
He has appointed commies to help him destroy this nation. It doesn't matter if a puppet master is telling him what to do as he agrees with the outcome.
I've noticed that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Max Baucus and Debbie Whatsherface Schultz are all out working on the commune and leading everyone in the self-confession meetings. They're just thieves. They think that they are clever enough thieves to play with dynamite and not blow everything, including themselves, up. We'll see.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that 100% of the military and law enforcement forces stand behind Mr. Obama and enforce his will. That's around three million individuals, give or take. How many armed civilians do you estimate will resist?
Buying arms and ammo is a lot different from actually using them. I don't believe that conservatives, if pressed, will do anything but talk a good story.
So far, all we have done is prove that we are all hat and no cattle! I see nothing to change that opinion.
I'm not exactly worried. The average Dimocrat voter has a zoo level IQ.
We will survive. It will just be annoying and uncomfortable for a brief while before civilization is rebuilt.
The libs can't muster the military against us. With the exception of a few officers who think they may get some kind of appointment from the political party, the soldiers are OUR sons and daughters.Not that this next revolution will be a walk in the park, but we are in far better shape to win it than some folks think.
Neil Snyder is right on all counts.
Even there the man has not appointed any commies of consequence. They are among the stupidest commies we've ever seen.
They're getting the job done and unafraid to do so openly. They don't need brains, just spite and hatred.
Let's say that Obama's forces use, oh, 20 strategic nukes against the republican heartlands, and that they further use the biowarfare mean they say they have abolished but proably have really not. Let's say 25 million dead in 5 days.
Still fighting?
I'll remind you that 25 million is *less* than what Obama and Ayers deemed necessary kills in order to deploy their "new order".
I wish the author would tell us how he really feels.
2nd. check the post I just sent you on the "Rising tide of Anti-Black Racism'' 41 of 42. I'm saying exactly what this guy is saying.
This isn't the future the commies ever imagined ~ with everyone unemployed. They envision people out there with picks and shovels doing lots off shovel ready work ~ well, we don't do that these days ~ we have machines.
Obama can't imagine that ~ and neither can his friends. They are IGNANT and incapable of learning.
Two can play that game. Any half-way intelligent science teacher or engineer could easily put together something that would leave New York City, Boston, Atlanta or Los Angeles uninhabitable for 100 years. Look at the IEDs coming out of Iraq and Yemen. Biowarfare would kill people in red and blue states.
Not to mention turning Egypt and Libya into copies of Iran.
They know what they're doing.
Late to the Party, but first in with WDDIM?...
You err in imagining you can be both a commie and intelligent. Wasn't true in Russia, it's not true here.

Skip to comments.Dogs Found Hanged, Burned in Pennsylvania Over Satanic Symbol
Posted on 03/16/2008 7:47:28 AM PDT by BGHater
State police say they found three dogs hanging and burned over a pile of burning tires in Fayette County.
Police say the dogs were found about 5 a.m. Thursday in Redstone Township hanging by ropes from a tree.
Theresa Linden, manager with the Fayette County Humane Society, says officials don't know if the dogs were alive when they were hanged.
Linden says authorities also found the image of a pentagram on the ground, a five-pointed star commonly associated with Satanism.
The back of one dog was burned off. Another had puncture wounds to its neck.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
come on. no such thing. religion is just opium.
Gee, where's Rosie to tell us how ebil those Christians are, and anybody's religion is equal to or better than Christianity?
Oh - and get that cross off your lapel, it might offend someone. And don't forget that it is illegal to post the 10 Commandments on the classroom wall. Some poor kid might be influenced to actually FOLLOW them...
Probably Hillary supporters trying for better results....
Hope these monsters will be caught and punished.
Was Michael Vick paroled?
Guess it would make sense to a satan-worshipper to be murderously cruel to dogs (gulp), since satan hates humans and dogs love us. Gonna take my pup for a "W - A - L - K" right now, and pray for the sick pukes that did this. Yikes.
Sounds like some Hillary supporters after a campaign event... hmmmm
Twenty years ago, I once saw a dog hanging from a railroad crossing light on my way to college. Actually, it was half a dog - cut long ways.
Some things you never forget.
I've always thought it was satanists.
I wonder if there were any likeness of Barrack Hussein Obama found at the site? Interesting ...
If those who done this are found, they should be given the same treatment.
Oh- and why would Satanists do this to dogs??
What is dog spelled backward...
There are real, authentic sickos out there.
Today's my day to clean and lube my home defense weapons. This inspires me to do an extra good job.
(DO I REALLY need a sarchasm tag?)
I am curious to know if the pentagram (a star in a circle) was actually a star in a crescent?
A while ago, in Peru, Shining Path used to hang dogs from lamppost to symbolize the beginning of a insurgency.
It's a good thing for those satanists that I was nowhere around. Had I been, there would have been a bunch of them sitting on hot coals and comisserating with satan in hell.
Were any Huck-a-spawns in the area?
My first thought exactly.
They hang dogs in Spain on a routine basis. Its at nearly epidemic proportions.
Another reason I'll never visit Spain.
Where was Huckabee's kid?
Is he looking over your shoulder?
Try this sometime: when your dog is in deep sleep: set a piece of hot dog in front of his nose. Watch him for a few minutes. Then whisper "walk" or "walkies" or whatever word he associates with a walk, and watch him snap to attention. Apparently their noses sleep but their ears don't.
It's illegal to hang your dog unless he is rabid. Maybe they were all rabid.
I heard a line in a Gen X movie where the Ethan Hawke character says that Evian is naive spelled backwards!
Check the Old Testament --you know the parts about the Sacrificial lambs etc etc
Yeah ... I'm sure those satanists sacrificed the dogs to cover their sins until the day of atonement.
Hey - didn't you hear? Christianity is pure evil! Satanism, Wicca and Islam are all much more rational!
Maybe Elvis came back as a vampire?
Why do the Spanish hang dogs?
Rosie will say it was just some innocent satanists cooking hot dogs..
Do they even have a shred of a reason for this, or is it some weird Moorish custom that has rtemained there?
Funny, while in Spain I never saw dogs being hung, or heard of such a practice. Sounds like some sort of Gypsy ritual if this is the case.
Don't forget about GWB, her favorite scape-goat.
They're Satanists and their representative is John Murtha.
I don't think so. But Vick's trial on state charges has been postponed.
Well, Hillary was here on Saturday.
Short step to killing a human.
Often serial killer have a prior history of animal abuse.
They work their way up...
I was sickened when I read what Mike Vick had done and likewise when people publicly cheered him. I hope he gets time added from the state case.
Just some demoncrat campaign workers, getting rid of excess stress from their treasonous activities in selling out this nation.
I'm no PETA nutcake, but to torture the helpless - whether a child, an old or disabled person, or as in this case an animal is beyond my comprehension.
I look forward to the day when a just and righteous God allows unrepentant people of this ilk to receive exactly what they deserve.
Why should a human be sacrificed to cover yours?
Years ago when I worked as a custodian, I found a satanic altar in a high school bathroom. Was I shocked? Sadly no. Those kids certainly acted like little devils. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't erase some type of satanic graffiti from the walls.

Create plan to cope with hurdles you may face as you quit smoking.
If you're like many smokers and other tobacco users, you know you should quit — you just aren't sure how to do it. Creating a quit-smoking plan may improve your chances of stopping for good. Having a plan helps prepare you for coping with the physical and emotional issues that often arise when you stop smoking, such as nicotine withdrawal and strong urges to smoke.
Sure, you may be able to list plenty of reasons to stop smoking. You may be worried about the health problems related to smoking, the social stigma, the expense or the pressure from loved ones. But only you can decide when you're ready to stop smoking.
You may spend a lot of time thinking about quitting smoking before you're ready to actually do it. If you're thinking about quitting, go ahead and pick a specific day to quit — your quit day — and then plan for it.
Pick a specific day within the next month to quit smoking. Don't set your quit day too far in the future, or you may find it hard to follow through. But don't quit before you have a quit-smoking plan in place, either. Having a day in mind can help you prepare for what to expect and line up helpful support. Pick a random day as your quit day, or pick a day that holds special meaning for you, such as a birthday or anniversary, a holiday, or a day of the week that's generally less stressful for you.
What if you decide to quit smoking on the spur of the moment? Follow the quit-day advice and go for it.
There's no easy way to quit smoking. But planning for it can help you overcome the hurdles you're likely to face. Here are steps you can take as you prepare for your quit day:
Getting through your quit day can be emotionally and physically challenging, especially if strong tobacco cravings strike. Try these tips to help manage your quit day:
With a quit-smoking plan to guide you, you'll have resources that you can lean on when you quit smoking. The more resources you have in place — support groups, nicotine replacement, medications, coaching — the more likely you are to quit and stay quit.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis bench has been missing in action through the first two games against the Los Angeles Clippers. Those reserves are starting to show they can hold their own on the floor and help keep the Grizzlies in this series.
Quincy Pondexter scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half, including eight in the final stanza, and the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 94-82 on Thursday night to pull within 2-1 in this Western Conference first-round series.
"I heard a lot of rumblings about our bench not playing well, myself not playing well, and I just wanted to come out and give the best effort possible and prove those people wrong," Pondexter said.
Game 4 is Saturday.
The Clippers go very deep with their bench and have outscored Memphis through the first two games, including a 30-11 edge in Game 2. But Memphis coach Lionel Hollins protected an early lead with five reserves on the court, and Pondexter was among those who helped hold off the Clippers as they twice tried to make runs in the fourth quarter.
"This is what we need every night," Hollins said. "We need somebody from the bench to step up and do something. It doesn't have to be the same guy. We like to have consistency, but if JB (Jerryd Bayless) is struggling a little bit, then Quincy can rise a little bit. … It was just a good team win."
Zach Randolph scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds after being limited both on the boards and by foul trouble in Los Angeles to start this series. Marc Gasol accepted his trophy as the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year before tipoff, then scored 16 points. Tony Allen also had 13. Mike Conley was 1 of 9, but had 10 assists and no turnovers on a night he was sick.
Randolph hadn't scored more than 13 in each of the first two games and had only 12 rebounds combined in Los Angeles. He looked much more like the All Star who had 45 double-doubles this season, and he also had six offensive rebounds after leading the NBA with 310 in the regular season.
"I definitely wanted to come out and be aggressive," Randolph said. "They've been double-teaming, triple-teaming me. So just go fast, you know hit a couple jump shots and open it up. Most definitely, I wanted to come out and be aggressive."
The Grizzlies snapped the Clippers' nine-game winning streak by outrebounding and dominating on second-chance points, the same things Los Angeles did so well on its home court to start the series in beating Memphis at its own style.
Blake Griffin scored 16 points for the Clippers. Matt Barnes had 12, Chauncey Billups 11, and Jamal Crawford and Caron Butler 10. Chris Paul had eight points on 4-of-11 shooting and added six assists. Paul wasn't happy with himself after he had five of the Clippers' 18 turnovers. He also didn't get to the free throw line either.
"It's uncharacteristic of us. You know I mean especially me," Paul said. "I had five turnovers tonight, and our turnovers led to 17 of their points. They got offensive rebounds, things we hadn't let them do in Game 1 and Game 2. We just got to be better."
The rough play that began in Los Angeles continued in this game featuring a flagrant foul, three technicals and a lot of whoofing, along with a bear hug by Randolph after Barnes' flagrant foul.
The Clippers had beaten the Grizzlies three straight in Memphis, including a Game 7 win in the first round a year ago. They also had won six of the last seven in the series overall.
Memphis outrebounded the Clippers 45-33, including 17-5 on the offensive boards. That gave the Grizzlies a 22-4 edge in second-chance points, which was similar to what the Clippers did to Memphis in Game 1 when they held a 25-5 advantage. The Grizzlies also outscored Los Angeles 40-26 in the paint and led by as much as 16.
"That's what they do," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We have been able to contain it pretty well for the first couple of games, but we just didn't do a good enough job. We've got to find a way to get everybody in there."
The Clippers last led 10-8 in the first quarter before the Grizzlies took control with Randolph hitting four of his first five shots and all five free throws for 13 points in the quarter. They got as close as 74-69 with 8:39 left on a pair of free throws by Barnes.
Memphis answered with a 7-2 spurt to push the lead back to double digits on a reverse layup by Pondexter off an assist from Randolph.
The Grizzlies outscored the Clippers 23-20 in the first quarter and 24-19 in the second, taking a 47-39 lead into halftime. They hadn't led by more than six in Los Angeles and were up by seven in the first quarter back on their own court. They pushed that to 12 in the second quarter.
Memphis' lead grew to 14 a couple times in the third, the last at 68-54 on a pair of free throws by Pondexter with 1:22 left.
That's when the Clippers went on a 10-2 run featuring back-to-back 3s by Crawford and Lamar Odom. Ronny Turiaf dunked to pull the Clippers to 70-64 with 11:04 to go.
Pondexter then scored five points for Memphis as he got the rebound after he missed his second free throw attempt and put it back while being fouled by Barnes. Pondexter added the free throw, pushing Memphis' lead back up to double digits with 10:16 remaining.
NOTES: Randolph wound up part of a double foul situation for a third straight game in this series with Griffin late in the game. … The Clippers hadn't lost in Memphis since Game 5 last year in the playoffs and won 24 road games during the regular season. … The Grizzlies went 28 of 38 at the free throw line compared to 21 of 23 for the Clippers. … The Clippers' 82 points were two shy of a franchise low in the postseason. … Pondexter had only five total points in the first two games of the series. … Paul had averaged 23.5 points in the first two games of the series.

OXFORD – This quintessential college town will celebrate recollections of itself Saturday morning when Yoknapatawpha Arts Council and the city of Oxford release "My Oxford: A Collection of Tales about Life in Our Town."
"During the 175th anniversary celebration the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council worked with community leaders to invite residents, church groups, and students to share their experiences and memories about Oxford," wrote Mayor George "Pat" Patterson in the book's introduction. "The idea was to show that through our history there is a common factor, our sense of community. The stories collected reflect memories from important events, personal experiences, and the founding of our churches."
"In reading the collected stories I think we will find understanding that our fellow Oxonians, regardless of how long they have resided here, cherish the same memories that make our community special."
The work features remembrances from Oxonians past and present, of incidents momentous and minute.
Bishop Duncan Gray III of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi tells of the question that prompted the interracial friendship between him and the Rev. Leroy Wadlington and their respective Oxford congregations.
Jeanette Thomas pens the history of the predominantly black Tallahatchie-Oxford Baptist Missionary Association.
Some writers describe how they came to Oxford as children or young adults; Jack Lamar Mayfield writes, by contrast, of the seven-generation history that his family has in the town.
Lisa Howorth's musing reflects her own humorous history with James Food Center, the city's last downtown grocery store, and Gerald Inmon remembers the beginnings of barbecue icon Handy Andy as a neighborhood grocery.
Anna Claire Franklin's paragraphs recall her first Double Decker Festival; an unnamed student shares fond memories of dressing as a resident of Whoville in the Oxford Christmas Parade.
Bettye Galloway's story eschews plot and people almost altogether, describing instead the slumbering town early on a typical morning decades ago.
Arts Council Director Wayne Andrews said there was so much great material, both writing and photos, that what was envisioned as a four-month project morphed into a year-long labor of love, but worth the extra work.
"It's not a history book; these are great personal tales," he said. "It's who remembers playing with whom, how people met."
Copies of "My Oxford" will be available for $12.50 during the Downtown Council's Literature Day celebration Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Skipwith Cottage next to City Hall. After that, they may be purchased for $15 from Square Books or online at www.oxfordarts.com.

Are they nuts?
Robin Brownlee
January 01 2009 12:13PM
As Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish likes to say, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."
Fans can only assume, then, MacTavish and bosses Kevin Lowe and GM Steve Tambellini have seen enough in the wake of a 6-4 loss to the Calgary Flames on the final day of 2008 to understand they need to make a deal or maybe two before we get very deep into 2009. That, or check into a rubber room.
MacTavish's 29th-ranked killing units were abysmal yet again in Cowtown as the Flames powerplay lit them up for three goals in five attempts. No matter who MacTavish throws over the boards, it's like sending somebody to fight a fire armed with a can of gasoline.
Hand in hand with that miserable performance, MacTavish's centres got schooled in the face-off circles again. The All-Thumbs Unit of Shawn Horcoff, Andrew Cogliano, Sam Gagner and Kyle Brodziak went 25-40 on the dot for 38 per cent (including 7-23 in the defensive zone).
Neither of these issues is stop the presses stuff.
Enough is enough
"We've got to find a way, or find some new guys that can kill penalties," an exasperated MacTavish said after his men in the middle and the PK soiled their straight-jackets again.
"It's been an aspect in our game from the start of the year and it's gone poorly from the start. We can't clear the puck when we need to. Somebody's got to step up and try to kill penalties or we're going to have to try and find somebody that can."
To be fair to the ATU, the Oilers feeble penalty-killing record doesn't rest solely with the pivots. That said, lost face-offs and lack of puck possession play a big part in it.
The biggest difference between this season and 2007-08, when the team was ranked fifth on the PK, is the Oilers have lost two key face-off men and penalty killers in Jarret Stoll and Marty Reasoner.
Stoll, shipped to Los Angeles with Matt Greene for Lubomir Visnovsky, is ticking right along with the Kings. He's ranked seventh in face-off percentage at 57.6. Reasoner, with Atlanta, is ranked 49th at 50.3.
By the numbers
Horcoff, ranked 36th, remains the Oilers best face-off man at 51.8 overall despite a hideous mark of 8-16 on a night he'd rather forget Wednesday. After Horcoff, it gets thin.
Brodziak, the only pivot to break even in Cowtown at 9-9, is rated 55th at 49.9. Gagner is 118-148 for 44.4 per cent. Cogliano is 107-179 for 37.4 per cent. Say no more.
So here we are. The aforementioned centres continue to work with assistant coach Bill Moores on face-offs after practice. They go through buckets and buckets of pucks on a daily basis. They're trying to get the hang of it, but the results speak for themselves.
At some point, as MacTavish said Wednesday, personnel trumps practice and the faces have to change.
Good and cheap
If I was Lowe, I'd be picking up the phone and putting the arm on old friend and confident Scott Howson in Columbus and inquiring about what it might take to get Manny Malhotra.
I can't think of too many reasons why I'd want a former first-round flop like Malhotra (seventh overall in 1998) on my roster, but there's no question the 28-year-old journeyman has an element the Oilers need.
When it comes to face-offs, Malhotra isn't only good -- he sits fifth in the NHL with a face-off percentage of 58.6 -- he's earning a relatively modest $1.5 million this season as he heads into unrestricted free agency.
Malhotra is 286-202 in face-offs overall, and he's a demon on the dot when the Blue Jackets are shorthanded. On shorthanded face-offs, Malhotra is 54-36. The other thing worth noting is he's better on the road at 59.5 per cent than he is at home, 57.6 per cent.
Pull the trigger
You'd think an efficient, inexpensive player like Malhotra and a chance to address face-offs and penalty killing might be worth a call from Lowe or Tambellini. Maybe -- again, I'm assuming evidence of this fatal flaw down the middle is sufficiently obvious -- the call has already been made. I'll try to find out in coming days.
In any case, even if it's a long shot, it's a far more attractive and likely proposition than trying to lure Stoll back from the sunny sands of Newport Beach or watching the ATU get schooled.
The way I see it, Moores can dump rubber on the dot until his right arm falls off and MacTavish can diagram the penalty kill until the cows come home, but it won't make a difference.
A trade will. Or, at least, might.

Another misinformed rumour from the anonymous blogger says Jay-Bo to Edm for Penner, Just what we need - Another defenseman
I like the Sillinger idea, then he would have played for every team in the league. Malhotra would be nice, but why would Columbus give up on him? Somehow I think little Sakic will be back here, Atlanta would probably take a player from Springfield or a draft pick.

Terry Jones - jan 02 - Edmonton Sun - "This was my dream, and I really felt what we started in Edmonton has taken a special shape," said Patrick LaForge, the Oilers CEO who wasn't able to attend the game last year in Buffalo. OH WHY WAS LAFORGE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND????
Deep Oil - LaForge was not able to attend the Ice Bowl now called the Winter Classic after the NHL forgot to COPYRIGHT (ICBOWL)- last year in cosmopolitan Buffalo due to a "Your not welcome" from GM Darcy Regier - and we will run your ass out of town - don't ruin the party - stay the Fcuk home LaForge and tell Lowe the next time he goes after a FA in small market - he is pissing in his own back yard. It will be a warm day in January when the NHL returns to Canada for the Winter Classic - needs to be USA teams on RED WHITE AND BLUE SOIL for fans to watch it on NBC.
January 02 2009, 12:51PM
Is it true that the NHL is thinking of staging the Winter Classic in Scottsdale next year to save hockey in Phoenix (tempe stadium) vs Atlanta, Florida or Nashville - tickets are $20 with free parking, $10 gas card, all you can eat nachos and bud light and winter classic hat (in canada they call it a toque) and free sun tan lotion. Bettman to sing kum by ya with sean avery at the ten minute mark of the third period. Everyone that buys a ticket get another ticket to a YOTES game for 2011.
January 02 2009, 01:06PM
@ Chris: very few trades will occur until the CBA agreement can transfer, buy out and ask for cap forgiveness - bottom line is most GM's are pressured to spend to the cap and then are just trading contracts not players. This is evident once again with the non decision of Sundin to keep the teams hot and bothered until cap forced him to grow gills and play on the wet coast instead of the big apple. Just think what excitement the salary cap would be if you could buy other teams cap with cash, players or draft picks - then teams could have SOME flexibility with parameters set on how much you could increase the cap - or add a luxury tax of 100% for teams that want to pay to play.
@ Deep Oil: Would be exciting. Just imagine how much money KLowe could give to Moreau, Staios, and Horcoff then.hockeysmack wrote:
Rewarding good soliders with these kinds of extensions is only a positive if your team has been, you know, successful.
KLowe has screwed this team. If everything comes together and works perfectly the Oilers will still not be a serious contender due to lack of size, depth, intangibles, etc. The bulk of the roster is locked up long term to contracts Tambo can't move...
Let's just pretend the goal of this organization is to win a cup... In 1988 the Oilers had SIZE first and then a bunch of skill. History remenbers the skill. The opposition remembers the McSorely's, Krushelnyski's, Muni's, Beukeboom's, Hunters, etc. We took the cup by force. When Gretzky was traded who did he want to go with him..?..McSorely and Krushelnyski. The 1988 NHL was WAAAY more free wheeling and offensively oriented than todays "New NHL"...yet the 1988 Oilers were probably a bigger team than what we have today. Do we have a pest like Tikkanen? Does Cole drive the net with the same authority as Anderson? Is anyone afraid of Stortini? I've been watching the 10 best games DVD over the Holidays and I've noticed something startling. Every shift...EVERY shift someone was rubbed out, smashed, flat out destroyed. Bob Coles voice never raises, there are no replays...a big hit is commonplace and expected. (Sometimes the camera doesn't even adjust toward the contact if the puck is moving away) Something important has been lost in this organization. Maybe we can't replace Gretzky and Messier but it is inexcusable that Lowe never remained committed to filling his team with character players. Grit players outnumbered soft skill player 3 or 4 to 1, and THAT is what truly made this franchise great. Lowe was there! How is it that he forgot what it takes to win?
You guys are funny. You complain about the lack of grit and strength on the team and then talk about trading Moreau and Cole, who are the two biggest hitters on our team.
It's like saying you want skill and then talking about trading Hemsky.
@ Cam: I never said trade Moreau and Cole. Trade Horcoff, Nilsson, Cogliano, Gagner, Pouliot, Brodziak, Gilbert, Grebeskov, Schremp, Reddox, Brule, Garon, Omark, Eberle, any other skill player with abilities less than Hemskey. Hemskey is a skill player. Maybe some of these guys can elevate their game into that category (Gagner, Eberle)
However, if your game is not up to, or near to, Hemskey standards: than you are NOT a skill player. You are a passenger or a prospect. We need size and grit to win consistantly. Great teams impose their will in any type of contest...very few players on this roster are capable of contributing much to a truly great team... and yet KLowe has spent nearly to the cap.
The Oilers are Okay. We can probably still make the playoffs if minor changes are made... but looking at what we have, and what we have coming, there is no cup in the forseeable future.
@ Cam: Klowe has forgotten how to win. He traded Smyth for Nilsson. Case Closed.
Here is a little food for thought....
After 36 games:
In 2006/07 we were 18-16-2 (38 points)
In 2007/08 we were 16-17-3(35 points)
this year we are 17-16-3 (37 points)
Considering that we have heard nothing but excuses the last two years (injuries, lack of a puck moving defenseman, lack of a stud defenseman, lack of a top line winger, etc) shouldn't our points be way higher this year considering we have pretty much been healthy and added those missing components???
Wasn't it MacT himself that stated we should be much more competitive this year, maybe even contend for the divsion?
I don't get it?????
January 02 2009, 03:22PM
@ Chris: Agreed on the no cup thing. The club has no talent outside of Hemsky that would be truly coveted by other clubs. If the Oil make the playoffs, they will get their collective asses handed to them by whoever they play in the first round. Management will then draft a smallish forward in the mid-teens. I will then drink myself into a 2-day coma, while shaking my head in disbelief. MacT will recieve a contract extension, and K-Lowe (sorry, Steve-T) will sacrifice 3 picks to sign a flash-in-the-pan RFA. Pisani will then recieve a 3 year, $10 million dollar contract after scoring 4 goals in 4 playoff games. Good times.

I stand corrected.
We are not okay. When they lose a game like the one to Ottawa the Oilers make things incredibly difficult for themselves... Then they play well and lose in Calgary... now you have a MUST Win against Dallas. Lose and you are back at .500, on a three game skid, Coach on the hotseat, etc, etc. Same old story.
January 02 2009, 05:13PM
@ Chris: I would personally love to have Avery and Tootoo on the Oil - but who on the team would stand up and show Avery the Oil way - Mess is retired and it seems that the Oil are soft and Moreau is a leader but more of a Jason Smith type leader - guy gets respects but no fear.....
January 02 2009, 05:25PM
@ Chris: Trading a player at trade deadline results very often in bargain basement orphans - the problem here as stated in the past is that KLOWE needs to make himself feel important on that trade and signs BOBBIE for 5.5 million while MACT berates his work effort on NYI - sounds like KLOWE is creating long term problems with coach killer work ethic - the list of average players on this team earning double what they should make in the relative nhl salary scheme is a joke - but when you are sold out and the only game in town - the management can do no wrong and anyone that would throw stones at KLOWE will be banished or blackballed in terms of info, scoop, or access - and in the end you get 630 ched with memos not to badmouth the oil blah blah blah - corporate bullsh*t - thankfully i choose to listen to gregor (truth) instead of an apology after the game... when was the last time you heard from LOWE or puppet Tambellini - they are muted.
@ Deep Oil:
I think the fact we aren't hearing from Tambo or K-Lo is because they ae working on something and want to talk to everyone AFTER they announce it. I would be surprised if there isn't at least a inor change here in the next two weeks.
January 02 2009, 06:00PM
@ Cam:
Is this what you want to happen or do you have a credible source?
January 02 2009, 06:58PM
with much respect cam - they can WORK all they want - but they need a dance partner and trades in the nhl are as common as outdoor games - one a year.
Has Jordan Staal been extended longterm by the Pens or is there a possibility that they might not fit him in with the cap going down next year? If I recall he's a damn good penalty killer and a decent goal scorer as well. Pittsburgh is short on the back end so maybe we could move a d-man and a couple forwards for a guy like staal. Just a random thor I have had for a cpl days.
@ Deep Oil: Aggree completely. KLowe has so completely screwed this team that it would be difficult for Tambo, Katz, or anyone new to blow things up and rebuild in less than five years. Nobody wants our current assets. NOBODY wants our vetrans contracts. UFA's won't play here. Our farm team sucks. Klowe has never had a five year plan... all his decisions have been poor reactions to even poorer initial decisions. LOWE MUST GOWE!

Another Rookie?
December 19 2010 07:05AM
This is Wally Pipp. Legend has it that (while the Yankees starting first baseman) he asked out of a ballgame due to a headache. Although there is evidence that the real story had more to do with a batting slump, the headache story sounds better so most go with it.
Replacing Pipp in the Yankee lineup on June 2, 1925? Some college kid named Lou Gehrig, who would go on to play 2,130 consecutive games at the position. Soon Pipp was off to the National League and Cincinnati, where the story goes he never asked for a day off again.
This is Jeff Petry. He might be the next rookie to impact the city of Edmonton in what is quickly becoming the season of the unshaven. Although his ETA was supposed to be 2011 fall, the college kid (college kid!!) is a quick study and at this point is starting to do things normal humans cannot at the minor league level. An example is here.
I'm of the belief that major league organizations should elevate players the moment they've proven they can impact the game at a lower level. There is no level between AHL and NHL, and the latest numbers suggest Petry is ready:
- 31gp, 7-13-20 has him 5th in team scoring.
- 3-3-6 +4 in 8 December games
- tied for 8th in points among all AHL defensemen
- tied for 7th in points among all AHL rookies
- His coach (Todd Nelson): "He's playing with more confidence. He has the skill set. We all knew that he has the skill set. You can see the way he skates. He just explodes. He's got a great shot. He moves the puck like a pro. And he's just playing with more confidence." The full story is here.
Jim Vandermeer was playing his best hockey of the season when struck by injury. In his last 8 games before the ankle injury, the big veteran posted 1-2-3 +8 numbers. That's a strong linescore in any league. Vandermeer has had ankle problems before and although I'm having a little fun here with Vandermeer/Pipp comparisons it should be mentioned that at this point in his career injuries are a huge item for this player. In 06-07 he missed the final 33 games of the year with a broken right ankle, and he broke the left one in 2008-09.
This is no laughing matter.
Jim Vandermeer--like a lot of Oiler blue--had a tough start to the season but he'd really turned it around in the last while. All joking aside, one hopes he returns to the NHL quickly.
There are 4 candidates for callup (the Oilers may make the call today). Shawn Belle has already played for the Oilers this season and would seem the most likely candidate. Jeff Petry is coming on strong and the organization may want to reward him for his efforts.
Alex Plante is a similar player in style to Vandermeer, although his HS for OKC last night is probably a tell in terms of how the organization feels about him at this time. Also, Taylor Chorney is kicking about in the AHL and has in fact had a nice season with the Barons. From this group, he boasts the most NHL experience.
I'm not including Richard Petiot on the list, as he has just returned from injury (he's played the last 2 games for Oklahoma City).
Coach Nelson: "They've all been playing well. It depends on what they're looking for if they want to call someone up at all."
Spoken like a man who wants to keep his defense intact. We'll find out in the next few hours if the Oilers are going to make a move. The club might run with Strudwick through the next couple of games and make a decision after Christmas.
The news we got about Vandermeer about December 14 was that this was a two week injury (meaning he'd be ready around the end of December) so they may choose to stay the course.
If they do call up Belle it might be the last time Petry watches another Baron defender punch his ticket. When Jeff Petry arrives at the International Airport from Oklahoma City, I suspect he'll be staying for years. The Edmonton Oilers "season of the rookie" rolls on.

First! BING
December 19 2010, 07:11AM
GarbageManBrian with a garbage post, well done sir.
Lowetide: Anyone Petry really compares to or projects like? Even if he came in and played solid, potted 20 points, I'd be a pretty happy guy. He seems to have a good 40 point upside.
December 19 2010, 07:25AM
LT help,
Omark WON'T stay up for the rest of the season.
Yes No
Not sure point production from the backend should matter from this crew. What we need is a couple of good shut down d men. We seem to be able to put some goals up this year but do very little to stop the opponent from putting up more.
December 19 2010, 07:31AM
Morning LT, hopefully the coffee is good this morning for ya.
Petry, Plante, Marincin, and Smid are names that I am going to be watching very closely for the next few years. Unless we draft another high end defender this year it's important that one of those 4 turns into a top pairing kind of guy. Although the window is probably shut for Smid to develop into that, the homer in me feels he has another big step to take. Love the guy and am really blinded by it.
Side note: I've tried posting here a few times lately, and I get re-directed to another page saying I was rejected and it's possibly because I was trying to do something I don't have permission to do. Any idea what's going on?
December 19 2010, 07:34AM
Thankyou sir
As I posted on the Swedish Oil (here - on the same topic) yesterday, Ricky Olczyk made it to the OKC-game yesterday and told Ryan Aber: "Not sure if we'll call up a defenseman but obviously that's one of the reasons I'm down here."
..which sounds a bit concerning if you ask me. Management can't be completely satisfied with what we have in Strudwick now can they? Sure he posted a +3 last game but other then that..
Personally I would've liked to see Plante. He shots right, he's a big defensive guy, most similar to Vandermeer out of the group. But Plante haven't been as good lately (and as you mention, Nelson made an example out of him yesterday when he got scratched), neither have Belle. Petiot have been praised by Nelson after his comeback but it 'oughta be too soon for him. So if someone do infact get the call I wouldn't be surprised to see Petry. Chorney scored yesterday though..
Hopefully we'll know more later today.
December 19 2010, 07:41AM
LT, you sir make for a fine read sunday mornings. Do you see the oilers making a trade once Hemskey comes back to keep mark here, say brule or cogliano for a dman? Or do you think they just send someone else down like you said in regards to a prevoius post
December 19 2010, 07:58AM
Smid's concussions are scary, and at such a young age to have had so many makes the situation even more troublesome. So on the injury front I think everyone can agree Smid needs to keep his head from bouncing off the ice and boards.
I think an honest projection now of his skills should have him as a second pairing guy. I just always like to remember back to that miserable trade how badly I wanted him to succeed to try an make that whole situation look better (enter Eberle).
Remember back in 2006-07, when we dressed something like 12 difference defensemen that season, how well Smid seemed to be playing and at such a young age in a major role. That is the season I jumped on board the Smid wagon, and it's truly led me nowhere.
I don't think Theo has gone by Smid yet, Theo had a nice stretch of play but seems to have fallen back a little bit again. Love the kid though, he's a real nasty kind of mean.
December 19 2010, 08:06AM
Thanks LT, imo if i were ST id trade the likes of cogs, brule, and stortini, and Jacques for any draft pick or a stay at home dman; with vandermeer and strudwick off the books at seasons end(hopefully) the oilers will have the room on the backend for another vet dman, unless next season they go with 3 rookies on d. Trading jones or letting him walk would be foolish,glencross all over again, i like his work ethic a hell of alot more than stortini and jj combined.
December 19 2010, 08:08AM
Jones is not as good as Glencross, he just isn't there yet.
Glencross is having issues with the Flames by the way. Maybe we can sign him in the off season as he seems destined to test UFA again. I am curious how the situation is between him and our management.
December 19 2010, 08:15AM
Either Foster is playing better LT or it's both our eyes. The guys nothing to go crazy over yet but compared to how he started the season with us he's improved for sure. His postioning is more sound, and his stick checks seem more effective then when he started the year. To be fair, he might of just tricked us by setting the bar so low to start the season.
His bomb from the point might be more effective with Petry on the big team too. Make the other team respect two nice shots from the point on our powerplay and all of a sudden his goal totals would go up I am sure.
December 19 2010, 08:19AM
I cannot imagine a scenario where you send Omark down. IF he slumps then it may happen, but how in hell do you send him back now?
What would the conversation sound like? "Linus, you've scored in the shootout and in the game, and you're posting offense plus the PP looks good with you out there. Now we need you to go back to Oklahoma City and work harder on nothing at all."
Makes no sense. If you're rebuilding, you WANT these players to force their way onto the roster. The Oilers have plenty of lesser players they can send away.
Jacques comes to mind.
Or as I posted in a previous thread...
Cogliano is the guy you send away to make room for Omark...
I've been calling for a trade since fall 2006. :-) I think Renney's comments yesterday were interesting. IF they're going to compete for a playoff spot, then the PK has to be addressed. Just has to.
SO, if that's the case then a trade in January is a must. And if you're going to make a deal for a penalty killer, maybe it's time to trade Cogliano to free up that 3rd line center spot.
If they could flip Brule for a Glencross-type I'd be fine with that too. Brule's in a tough spot now becaue the three kids are all wingers and Hemsky or Penner will take up the other slot plus there's Omark and good grief this team has options at the skill positions.
So, yeah I'd do it. But my guess is that Steve Tambellini stays the course and deals veterans at the deadline. Candidates include Dustin Penner, Gilbert Brule, Andrew Cogliano, Ryan Jones (a UFA), Stortini, Vandermeer (if healthy), Smid and Khabibulin.
Totally agree... Cogs it the guy with the target on his back.
You mentioned before that O'Marra might be a useful player to keep around. To make room for both Omark and O'Marra someone is going to be the odd man out.
December 19 2010, 08:48AM
RE #17 Glencross is having issues with the Flames by the way. Maybe we can sign him in the off season as he seems destined to test UFA again. I am curious how the situation is between him and our management.
If the Oilers get Glencross back ( Im still choked about that) I will buy season tickets. My solemn vow.
So if they do want to shore up the PK and make a run (as per Brownlee's article), and your trade pieces are Cogs and Brule, who can we pick up? Do we make a move for a vet 2011 UFA who fills a spot this year or do we make a move with a team who has a glut of size and bottom 6ers for our "talented smurfs"?
One team from the vet perspective is Florida. They are struggling, and have a bunch of UFA's who fill our needs and desperately need some youth and skill. What about a Brule or Cogs with a prospect for Reasoner and Higgins? Reasoner immediately adds to our PK (top guy on Florida) and can win a faceoff. And Higgins is only 27, adds grit and speed and kills penalties. Not to mention he has scored more then 20 a few years ago. They aren't anything special, are both UFA's next year, but they make us a better more balanced team right away.
And for a team that could send us a mid 20's under contract team that wants to win right now how about Buffalo? They need some scoring, and have money issues. What about Paul Gaustad? He's tough as nails, is killer on the dot and kills penalties. Maybe swing them both guys and Souray (they need a dman with offense) or even Foster. Gaustad would fit right in and he is under contract for one more year (just in time to re-sign Penner and hemsky and Gagner)
December 19 2010, 09:16AM
@I walk amok
Better get in line bud, last I heard it was +2,000 people on that waiting list with about a 3-4 year wait.
And I'm sure that line isn't decreasing with H.O.P.E. on the way...
To all the 'trade Cogs' dudes - If its last year, I'm with you. He wasn't doing much of anything and was HUGELY resistant to changing to a defensive guy. Now he's no amazing defensive demon this year but I do think he's progressing since he' embraced the role - and he HAS embraced it.
I'm willing to wait for another year with him working on his defensive game like he is. He's still young, obviously evolving and if you don't like the heart he's been showing as he consistently plows himself into guys 40lbs bigger than he is, then I dunno what to say.
Brule is the guy who worked hard last year and got himself a nice contract and shot at some nice minutes and is now looking lazy out there. Thats the kind of attitude that the other guys can sense and the kind of attitude that the Oil have done a good job of removing in the last year.
December 19 2010, 09:42AM
You have Penner at the front of the trade candidates. Just a thought, he seems to me like the type of player that will one day take over a playoff series by himself, a la Byfuglien. It's exciting to picture him doing it in Oiler threads. I guess you can't hang on to guys on a hope, but he's won a Cup, albeit as a rookie. Does that experience factor into ST's decision-making at all?
December 19 2010, 09:51AM
GlenX has been healthy scratched for 2 games now and none to happy about it. More evidence that the Sutterites have lost their minds. Brule or Cogs for an extended GlenX?
If I'm brother Darrel I don't do it, but they're in the position where they might start making trades for the sake of change.
December 19 2010, 10:02AM
Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about Petry's progress. My only concern is his style of play. Isn't Jeff more of an offensive D-man? Would a defensive player not serve the Oilers better? Would Petry address the fact that we give up about 50 shots per game? Also, does he have a physical element to his game?
December 19 2010, 10:07AM
what is the average age of the league now compared to years / eras past?
it seems right now, bringing in young men is hardly a concern since the league seems to be in a whole different era of its own. there isnt many teams i can think of that has "MANLY VETS" that would completely annihilate this squad to any enormous degree.
is anyone actually physically intimidated by the anyone in the top 20 in scoring? maybe Ryan Getzlaf a little bit. Corey Perry is just more annoying. Dustin Byfuglien, sure. Eric Staal should be, but hes not. Ovechkin to a degree but it seems hes let up a bit on the big hits he use to lay out on D-men. yeah, im just not seeing it. so is there any reason to really be "Scared" with this much youth? maybe for a skill/execution level but for intimidation of people in the past like Forsberg, Messier, Lindros, Jagr (not physical but dominates due to size), Leclair, Hull, Tkachuk....
December 19 2010, 10:08AM

Penner played like that in the playoffs his rookie year. I think he is a keeper if we can re-sign him.
December 19 2010, 10:09AM

GlenX can be had for nothing a season end. I think we wait until then for him. I would hate to see Cogs or Brule in the flaming C.
December 19 2010, 10:23AM
Skid plate, That's why I said an extended GlenX. GlenX in July may be more $$ than an extension now.
While they'r still young and may eventually ge it, the current Cogs or Brule make the Flames smaller, softer, and make them leak more goals against. I haven't paid much attention to GlenX this year, but last year's GlenX is a useful piece for this year's Oilers if they are serious about making a run for the 2nd season.
It's likely a moot point as the Staios trade was likely the last Flames / Oilers trade for another decade.
For the record, I think the playoffs are a pipe dream with the current roster (especially the D).
December 19 2010, 10:59AM
Donovan: His Desjardins NHL equivalencies have always suggested he's going to be a point producer. Now a lot of offense for defensemen comes from the powerplay, so if he doesn't get those minutes with the Oilers then his boxcars won't be as impressive.
I do think that he'll score 25+ points consistently in the NHL. If he becomes a mainstay on the PP, he could post 35+ in his best seasons imo.
The thing about Petry is he has a nice range of skills. Size, footspeed, he can move the puck and make a pass, and the scouting report suggests there's some grit in his game.
So, as a comp I'd say he'll be a little shy of Gilbert offensively but have more jam.
If a defencemen is a little less offensively gifted than Tom Gilbert, but with more jam, then I'd say you have a number one d-man.
Glencross scares me. When he's playing well, he's a banging agitator who can actually line up and check his man, unlike stortini. His hands are okay for a grinder too. However, he has many games where he takes awful penalties at the worst times. Ethan Moreau v2.0 comes to mind.

Agreed on GlenX. I actually would like to see him back, but it wouldn't be long before the irrational Oiler fans would turn on him.
December 19 2010, 11:09AM
Just doing some Souray news hunting this morning, looks like another injury:
December 19 2010, 11:24AM
FYI: Petry has a backer in the dressing room in Ryan Whitney. He thinks a lot of the kid and especially likes his range of skills.
If Whitney gets a vote, it'll be Petry getting a look sooner than later.
December 19 2010, 11:25AM
I really think GlenX has a problematic sense of entitlement. It was a problem here after half a season. It's now becoming a problem in Calgary.
He's expected to be a bottom 6 guy (and he's an excellent one at that) but wants to be/play like a top 6 forward. I don't think he "takes those shifts off", rather he's playing with a top 6 forward (cerebral) entitlement.
December 19 2010, 12:13PM
Good to know. The Oilers blueline is going to get some solid help from OKC, can't remember the last time EDM had this many good prospects in the AHL.
I'd like to point out that almost all of them were drafted by Prendergast ;)(of those not aquired from other teams)
If you think Lowetide needs an avatar prop this comment.
December 19 2010, 12:50PM
I've always argued that KP was a little better than average at the draft table. Although his misses were usually at the top of the draft--and that's what killed him as the director of scouting imo--the club had a very nice run of depth picks through the years.
Petry might end up being one of his finest choices.
December 19 2010, 12:56PM
@Bi-Curious Gord
During the preseason he showed good grit to his game, very cerebral. If the hit was there he took it but he didn't make the hit if was going to be caught out of position. I'm a fan as he seems to be the type of dman that does a lot of things well but isn't elite in any one category. Dmen like that are very useful in the NHL (Dan Hamhuis, Ryan Whitney, Dan Girardi, etc.)
December 19 2010, 01:16PM
Would anybody else trade Brule to the Wild for Clutterbuck?
then the lines might look like this
Stortini,MacIntyre, and JJ fill in as needed
Jones is not as good as Glencross, he just isn't there yet.
Glencross is having issues with the Flames by the way. Maybe we can sign him in the off season as he seems destined to test UFA again. I am curious how the situation is between him and our management.
I'm on board with this 110%.
Agreed on GlenX. I actually would like to see him back, but it wouldn't be long before the irrational Oiler fans would turn on him.
I seem to remember several so-called "rational" Oiler fans didn't want to see Glencross re-signed because of "small sample size"...
December 19 2010, 01:45PM
I seem to remember several so-called "rational" Oiler fans didn't want to see Glencross re-signed because of "small sample size"...
I remember you tooting Brule's horn because he was "fiesty with a good shot" and you "knew what you are looking at out there".
So what's your point?
December 19 2010, 01:54PM
Ahhh, good ol' hindsight. Handing GlenX $1.5 million per after 20 good games would have been very risky. It's so easy to look back and say mgmt shoulda done this or shouldn'ta done that.
Now, where did I put that time machine???

Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lise St-Denis Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government decided not to renew grants to a number of social organizations, claiming that they no longer meet the established criteria. But these organizations help the very people who are not eligible for the tax credits offered by the government for sports and cultural activities, the very people for whom the $1,200 offered directly to families is not enough to pay for childcare.
Why does the government only care about the most fortunate members of society?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, our party believes that parents are in the best position to decide how to raise their children. We therefore give them $100 a month for each child under the age of six, so that they can choose childcare that is most appropriate for their family.
We are very proud of this program and we will keep it.
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Jinny Sims Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, as the Conservatives' punishing refugees act goes to the other place, the opposition to Conservative attacks on refugee health care is growing. The Canadian Medical Association and seven other national medical organizations have warned the minister that these changes could be catastrophic.
I want to ask the minister the same question that doctors who treat refugees are asking. Are we, as a country, willing to risk the health of a pregnant mother? Is this the kind of Canada the minister and the Conservatives really want?
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, I am glad the member asked the question because it once more reinforces that the New Democratic Party is in favour of giving extra supplementary taxpayer-funded health benefits that are not available to taxpaying Canadian citizens, and that is just wrong.
We are standing on the principle that there should be equal access to health care and that bogus asylum claimants should not be getting health benefits. They should be leaving Canada. Asylum claimants will be getting basic care but no better care than what provincial governments give to taxpaying Canadians. We stand by that.
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Sadia Groguhé Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, the minister knows that all of these changes to immigration will merely transfer costs to the provinces, which he refused to consult.
The most vulnerable people in the country will pay the price. The Canadian Paediatric Society has sounded the alarm. If these changes go through, a child with pneumonia may be denied access to antibiotics; a child with diabetes may be denied access to a doctor; a pregnant woman may be denied prenatal care.
Is that the kind of Canada the minister really wants?
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, our reforms will provide health insurance to resettled refugees and the vast majority of asylum seekers, but refugees will no longer receive federal health insurance that Canadian taxpayers do not receive. We believe that supplementary insurance should not be provided to asylum seekers. We believe that people should be treated fairly the same way we treat Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Scott Armstrong Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Mr. Speaker, today is tax freedom day.
I know it deeply saddens my NDP and Liberal colleagues but today is the day when hard-working Canadians no longer have to send tax dollars into three levels of government. On this side of the House, our Conservative government believes that Canadian families should pay low taxes, and that is why, since taking office in 2006, we have taken steps to lower the tax burden on Canadian families to its lowest point in over 50 years.
Would the Minister of Finance please inform the House how much earlier tax freedom day takes place today than it did when we took office?
Oral Questions
June 11th, 2012 / 3 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, in 2005, before our government was elected, under the tax-and-spend Liberals, tax freedom day was on June 26.
Now, following over 140 tax reductions, like lowering the GST, personal taxes, business taxes, introducing the tax free savings account and much more, tax freedom day is now over two weeks earlier.
A low tax plan for the average Canadian family means a savings of $3,100 per family.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Sean Casey Charlottetown, PE
Mr. Speaker, for five years, the Conservatives have battled disabled veterans, including Dennis Manuge, in court to justify pension clawbacks. The disabled vets prevailed.
For the last four years, Royal Canadian Mounted Police veterans have been locked in a similar law suit against the government to stop clawbacks of their pensions. Gerald Buote from Summerside led the suit but has passed away waiting for resolution.
Will the Conservative government again throw everything at the RCMP vets to deny their legal rights or do the honourable thing and include them in the discussions arising out of the Manuge victory in the Federal Court?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, we have been very proud of the work that we have done with the RCMP. For example, we invested over $150 million in the Depot Division in Regina to ensure that what happened under the Liberal Party does not happen again where it shut down training at Depot.
That is the party that turned its back on the RCMP. We will continue to work with the RCMP and ensure that Canadians are safe.
G20 Summit
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Andrew Cash Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, a G20 planning document by the Canadian Forces listed a number of potential security threats, among them, embarrassment to the Government of Canada.
It is too bad it did not listen because that is exactly what happened. It cannot plan the largest civil security undertaking in Canadian history on the back of an envelope in four short months. The results were smashed windows, illegal arrests and a city turned upside down.
After so many G20 failures, will the government finally do something right and apologize to the people of Toronto?
G20 Summit
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member would know that security decisions around the G8 and G20 summits were made by security experts, not politicians.
In fact, the members of the Canadian Forces, who supported the RCMP and the municipal and provincial police, were there to provide security for Canadians and for our international guests. This was an unprecedented period in our country's history with the G8 and G20 coming back to back.
I am very proud of the work that was done by members of the Canadian Forces.
Veterans Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ben Lobb Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is cutting red tape to ensure our veterans receive the benefits and services they deserve more quickly.
We have already taken several steps through the cutting red tape for veterans initiative. These include reducing the paperwork and wait time for veterans, using plain language in its letters to veterans, and moving to upfront payments to veterans for certain elements of the veterans independence program.
Could the Minister of Veterans Affairs provide an update on our government's cutting red tape for veterans initiative?
Veterans Affairs
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Steven Blaney Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Huron—Bruce for his support for veterans and for bringing the Helmets to Hardhats partners to the table.
This morning, I spoke to the Royal Canadian Legion in Halifax and announced a new measure to cut red tape for veterans who travel for medical purposes.
With these new measures, veterans will no longer have to submit receipts to receive the financial support they need to cover travel expenses incurred for medical appointments. Dominion president, Pat Varga, says that any change or improvement that makes the process easier for veterans is great.
I will support—

Benjamin Franklin's concern about the function of the Senate, it's accountability, and the nature of its influence is more important today than when he raised the issue during the Constitutional Convention. More than one-half the nation's population lives in just ten states, but they have only one-fifth of the votes in the Senate. This means that 12 percent of the U.S. population controls forty-one votes and can immobilize that chamber.
Given the transient character of the population and the changing nature of individual states, it is hard to justify this imbalance. Rules of the Senate, such as the filibuster must be reformed to encourage open debate and actual votes on the nation's business.

Comments: Skirts get annoying after awhile. The majority of the time they do not get in the way, but they do wrap around the back blade and foul the bait up on occasion. Cuts through the weeds well. This is my go to spinnerbait right now in the fall, it is the only thing producing for me. Hope they bring the smokey shad color back.

Comments: You've got to trim the skirt on these spinnerbaits or they will literally PISS you off, mutliple pin point casts ruined and not being able to pump the bait, or any other retrieve besides a steady retrieve, b/c the tail end of the skirt that "flutters" always gets caught in the blades and twisted up. It would get to the point where I'd be slamming the spinnerbait on the water and throwing my rod into the floor of the boat...not the guy you would want to fish with when using these things. After trimming, though, no hard feelings.

Comments: What size blades come on these spinnerbaits?
From: Brandon: VT
Comments: Great spinner bait! Did have a problem with the long skirt, trimmed it up and works like a champ! You will catch fish on this spinner in any conditions. I've slow rolled it and burned it up high and still nailed big fish with it!
From: Adrian: Heath, TX
Comments: I have caught quite a few fish on this in sexy blue back herring. Nailed 8 or 9 northern pike during a bass tournament here in Indiana. Yesterday we placed 7th in a 29 team tournament, and all my fish came on this spinnerbait.
