Jonathan Bernier on the Maple Leafs makes no sense
Cam Charron
June 18 2013 10:22AM
Odd tweet sent out here from Nick Kypreos:
Keep hearing #Kings Bernier will b traded sooner than later. With poss' Breeze buyout and Leiweke LA link, #Leafs #Flyers front-runners— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) June 18, 2013
I don't think that Jonathan Bernier is a bad goaltender. It may even be reasonable to suggest that Bernier would have success as James Reimer's backup. The Leafs will need a guy who can give the team 30 starts, but at this point in Bernier's career he wants to be a starting goaltender. As a restricted free agent, he's going to be looking for a contract worth more than that of a backup because there is going to be some team who sees "former first round pick" and pays for potential.
As for the Leafs? They have their young guy, and their Goalie Of The Future™. James Reimer is the same age as Bernier and has more experience than Bernier. Full stop.
A chart:
|Age (on Sep 15 2013)
|Career Starts
|Playoff Starts
|Career Shots Faced
|Career Save %
|James Reimer
|Jonathan Bernier
It's not too much to assume that the Leafs could use an upgrade at the backup position, but about the only time in Reimer's career that he hasn't displayed the ability to be a starter is the year he should have been on the shelf because he was nursing a concussion. In 2011, Reimer came up to the big leagues and nearly turned the Leafs into a playoff team. In 2013, the Leafs became the most-outshot team since the 2002 Montreal Canadiens to make the playoffs. If you'll recall, Jose Theodore won the Vezina and Hart Trophy double that season.
But other than the one fifth-place Hart Trophy vote from friend of The Leafs Nation Jesse Spector...
James Reimer was responsible for ending an even longer playoff drought, helping the Toronto Maple Leafs avoid early golf for the first time since 2004 by singlehandedly defying math. The most heavily outshot team in the NHL is in the playoffs because of a goaltender whom the organization was desperate to replace. Reimer's .920 save percentage on the penalty kill was equal to Vezina contender Carey Price's at even strength.
...Reimer didn't land anything close to the accolades earned by Jose Theodore. He was entirely left off of the Vezina Trophy ballot, and still has doubters in the media. Could the Leafs use a veteran backup? Yes. Does Bernier make any sense? No, because if the above chart shows anything, it's that there's no argument you can make that would suggest Bernier is more deserving of an NHL starting job than James Reimer.
Talks of Roberto Luongo to the Leafs have disappeared entirely. There's no longer a rush to upgrade at the goaltending position. Reimer took the reins last year and showed that he's a more than capable starting goaltender, and one that is fully-deserving of at least 50 starts next season.
Kipper makes no sense...Leafs don't need a starter...maybe an experienced backup but certainly not anyone to be the starter, Reimer deserves a shot at number 1!!
No sense wasting cap or picks in a trade for another goalie.
Leafs need a legit number 1 center and a quality shut down D man. After that they need 3rd and 4th line players. Right now a goalie is the last thing they need.
Yeah I don't see how a goalie is anywhere near the Leafs #1 priority. Scrivens was serviceable last year, and they'd have to put him through waivers to get him into the AHL.
If this management group still thinks they need a starting goalie (and if they think Bernier is a better shot at it than Reimer), well, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd sure be disappointed.
Maybe Bernier is a better goalie. We just don't know, the numbers don't suggest that. It must be because of him being a 1st round pick. I would not be surprised either, but it would set us back, depending on what we sent over to get him. Sounds like he wants a Schneider type contract , forget that, we should spend that money one Kenny the page.

Just keep Reimer and Scrivens. Cheap and effective at their jobs.
An upgrade on Scrivens may help but the way I see it his contract makes him incredibly efficient and provides plenty of value to TML.
Getting a better backup that costs 3x-5x what he costs is only going to amount to perhaps 2-3 more wins.
Just not worth it.
Instead of burning assets and cap space on a position that the Leafs are good at, maybe use that to get a better Dman.
The Leafs do need a #1 goalie. Reimer should be the back up goalie.The Leafs would have beat Boston if they had a number one goalie.
Reimer's glove hand is very poor,too many pucks go in and out of his glove.He also gives up way too many rebounds.He keeps the puck in play for the opposing team way too much.
It seems everybody loves Reimer and always gives him a free pass. He is a nice guy and works his butt off, but he will never be a #1 goalie in my opinion. So yes the Leafs do need a #1 goalie.
By the way, how about getting rid of Dion and getting a real Captain !
I shouldn't bother--I can't even tell if this is supposed to be satire--but Reimer's career SV% right now is equal to Ryan Miller, Carey Price, Jonathan Quick and Craig Anderson. It's higher than Lehtonen, Brodeur, Bryzgalov, Smith, Varlamov, MAF, Ward, Elliot, Neuvrith and Pavelec.
So that means that there are 9 or 10 "#1 Goalies" in the entire league with a better career SV% than James Reimer, and he is younger than EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, except for 2013 Vezina winner Sergei Bobrovsky.
So, in this case, your opinion is wrong.
Trade for Bernier and flip Reimer to Edmonton. We might be able to pry a 1C out of it.
Buy low sell high. Lateral move for now but Bernier had a higher upside and can catch a puck.
There is 82 games in a season... leafs could play each goalie 41 games a piece... Im a hugh reimer fan.... and i do believe the potential is there... however the guy does manage to get hurt.. if the leafs could get bernier out of LA for nothing i would take it... nothing wrong with have two good young goalies... could even possibly trade one to move up in the draft or get another impact fwd..
I can only assume the Leafs plan on trading Riemer now that they have Bernier. Riemer isn't going to settle for being a backup after being one of the top goalies in the NHL last year. My guess is the Leafs plan on moving Riemer for a #1 center.

"LOve this!! It works well with just about everything in your wardrobe.. and i love how the sole is padded which makes it soooo comfy, But the T strap kind of cut my toes..i guess it kust need to be broken in, so i subtracted a star for that... Overall an awesome pair of sandals =]"

Even flat sandals can be classy
"It took me such a long time to decide which pair of sandals to order and I finally picked these. Couldn't have been a better choice...they're genuine leather, the design is awesome .... I usually prefer silver accessories but these ones are very subtle and chic;). If they would have had them on black it would've been perfect."

"I was hesitant before purchasing since there was no review. But I am glad I did because it is incredibly comfortable thanks to the flexible sole. I love the simple design and it goes with everything! Reason why I only rate it 4 stars is my pair didn't come with gold accented heels. I'm still going to keep them though and I can see myself wearing them a lot this summer"

Skip to comments.Nine Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime
Posted on 02/14/2013 3:23:19 PM PST by Libloather
1. The Post Office
Get ready to imagine a world without the Post Office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the Post Office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.
2. The Check
Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with check by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process checks. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the check. This plays right into the death of the Post Office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the Post Office would absolutely go out of business.
3. The Newspaper
The younger generation simply doesn't read the newspaper. They certainly don't subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.
4. The Book
You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books. You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can't wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you're holding a gadget instead of a book.
5. The Land Line Telephone
Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don't need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they've always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes.
6. Music
This is one of the saddest parts of the change story. The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of illegal downloading. It's the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Greed and corruption is the problem. The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing. Over 40% of the music purchased today is "catalog items," meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. Older established artists. This is also true on the live concert circuit. To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book, "Appetite for Self-Destruction" by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, "Before the Music Dies."
7. Television
Revenues to the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they're playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator. Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I say good riddance to most of it. It's time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch online and through Netflix.
8. The "Things" That You Own
Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in "the cloud." Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest "cloud services." That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet. If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That's the good news. But, will you actually own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big "Poof?" Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.
9. Privacy
If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy. That's gone. It's been gone for a long time anyway. There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7, "They" know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits. "They" will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again.
The laundry man? What the heck is that?
10. My 401K
Music? no way, thats dumb.
I doubt whether music will disappear.
"The laundry man? What the heck is that?"
I be the laundry man in this house. With two kids we have to have a laundry man and a laundry woman.
Most brick and mortar stores will disappear particularly multi-purpose stores like sears and walmart. A few will survive where the real estate is cheap but even those will feature a lot of online ordering stations for later delivery.
At least not as long as Bluegrass is around.
Books have been around forever and will probably still be around in the future.
Observe any person, whatever their age, and you'll see that music is a part of them. If music is extinct, it's because we're extinct.
Hopefully, Democrats.
Oh, and allow me to add: the steering wheel.
I hope one of them is Obama!
I'm keeping my rocking chair and my banjo too.
2. Can do without.
3. Parrot will use plastic bags.
4. F7u12
5. A what?
6. Music will live forever on iTunes.
7. Meh
they're talking about NEW music. Haven't you noticed how hard it is to find new music that's worth a shit?
Common sense and decency did not make the list as they are already dead!
Listen to Alabama Shakes. They came out of a rock n roll time warp.
Disagree with tv. no one is content with watching superbowl on itty bitty screen. i thinl the movie theatre may go though.
Watches; most people just use their cells.
Music existed long before there was an industry dedicated to crushing it, and will continue to exist after that industry dies. Given YouTube and social networking, it may actually be easier to reach an new audience these days.
Music and televisoin...well, goood riddance. I have had enough of the $hit they call music and the same old tired tv shows on different channels that I have seen at least a hundred times. Good, now my husband will let go of cable TV.
The bijou in our little town is now a small dinner theater for Broadway show re-creations.... with local talent. They put on pretty good musical productions and drama.
But that won't last either.
Folks will become cocooned in their homes even more than they are now.
Obama said I could keep my doctor.
Pictures, music, newspapers, television....
These things are temperal. People need to think about eternity.
Interesting list and I enjoyed reading through the 130+ posts by the Freepers discussing many already-extinct technologies.
Post Office is unionized, govt backed.
It will be around longer than the cockroach and house fly.
Television will continue to prosper on live sports if nothing else.
Privacy is definitely gone. We didn't realize that the breakthrough "big brother" advert for Apple in 1984 portended exactly the opposite of what was expected.
Computer monitors can be large and full HD these days.
I still have a (legacy) "digital" land line....
Oh! Then let's add "how to write meaningful English" to the list.
Not bad. Any other suggestions?
We may well be obsolete. Think about it. As computers become smarter and smarter robots will be more able to fly aircraft, handle automobiles, control traffic, etc. Powerful computers have already displaced many humans from their jobs....project that forward in time. Without planning on our part, the future may be ugly as computers and robots try to dispose of us, their creators, controllers.
Have you axed him about that?
Please don't tell me you believed him.
"listen to Alabama Shakes..."
Amen Brother..there will always be a few who get it right...
Say what?!?
Funny how this says privacy will be gone without condemning for that the very things on this list it so lauds. Writing checks is more private than magnetic strips, just as real cash is more private than all. Using some kind of Internet for saving files is definitely a privacy/corruption problem, and so on. Anything involving networked electrons is a threat to privacy. That includes your e-books.
Nevermind it's easier to flip through a real book to find something fast than swipe-swipe-swipe. And land lines are great when cells stop working, and they just fit better. Unless you're hooked to the new FO, which doesn't work when power is out.
It's ridiculous to say music will die.
Or muslim. Music is haram in islam. Islam promises that those who listen to music on Judgement day will have molten lead poured into their ears.
There is so much great music being made every day that I don't have time to discover and listen to it. Unfortunately, we won't hear any of it on the radio. Certainly, music CDs will be obsolete ten years from now.
There's some decent new music on youtube
11. The United States
I promise this nation won't survive another Obama term. The deck is stacked against us.
Liberalism: to be replaced by fasciastic socialism.
> "Nevermind its easier to flip through a real book to find something fast than swipe-swipe-swipe."<
Who searches by swiping? Enter a search term and search a thousand pages in a second. I've been a lover of books (the physical objects) all my life, but in recent years have totally gone over to ebooks. Virtually all the classics (and many non-classics) are available in electronic form for free.
Though not as good for books that have large diagrams, for reading most kinds of texts ebook readers are much better. They are light, easy to hold, and you can adjust the text size and font to suit you. I consider the ebook reader one of the greatest inventions of the last half century.
Boy ain't that the truth!! Oh. Except for this fairly recent song..... :)
I'm trying to downsize my place and am taking bags of books to the library for their book sale. I refuse to buy any more hard copy books. DVD's are another story.
Wow. That is really satanic. Paul tells Christians to speak to each other in spiritual song, and I've noticed that many times when God is speaking in the Old Testament it is in verse. Can't wait to hear the music!
Which may be why music today is so awful. It is a reflection of the soul. I listen to country and classical, and sing in the morning. No more classic hymns on the radio anymore. Today's kids won't know the words to Amazing Grace.
Watches; most people just use their cells."
Not only watches but alarm clocks. Although I have about 30 stored in a bag in my jewelry box and haven't worn one for at least 10 years, my youngest grandson and all his friends wear them. Might be because this group of parents has decided that kids don't need cell phones.

As you no doubt have noticed, Campagnolo has adorned their Super Record 11 gruppo with new graphics. A casual glance might trick you into believing that the graphics are all they changed; after all, front derailleurs hardly change, ever.
Not true. This Campagnolo Super Record 11 Front Derailleur is different than the 2010 and earlier iterations in a small, yet significant way. Yes, the cages are the same, carbon-outer, aluminum inner, compatible with both compact (110mm bolt circle diameter) and standard (130 and 135mm bcd) chainrings, but the cable pull routing has been changed. The cable now runs in a more direct line from the bottom bracket shell to the pinch bolt. On the last version, you'd bend the cable around the pinch bolt before cinching it. The cable no longer needs to be bent. This speeds up the shifting. Campy front shifting was always fast and easy, but this adds some blazing to the action. And remember that it's designed for 11-speed cranks, chains, and Ultra-Shift ergopower levers, not 10-speed.
The Campagnolo Super Record 11 Front Derailleur can be had in three different ways -- braze-on, 32mm clamp, and 35mm clamp. It can handle a maximum 54 tooth chainring and a maximum large/small ring differential of 16 teeth. The clamp and pivot are Black, the outer cage is Carbon-Fiber, the inner is Brushed Aluminum.

I have to ask this because for the life of me I've want to be skilled in as many aspects of fishing as I possibly can be. I absolutely love fishing with live bait, Im almost guaranteed to take home something when fishing with live bait. That goes for freshwater and saltwater.
But lets say we restrict the poll to saltwater only!
My problem is and I would love to read comments from other on this subject do you prefer artificial bait or live bait?
Now I've bought plastic worms, minnows, shad, topwaters, jigs, you name it I've probably bought it at some point or another. The problem I have mainly is once Im on the water (oh let me say I always purchase my live bait as a mainstay when I go out), I'll setup my lines with live bait, cast them out and then I'll set up my rig with the artificial and cast and pretend to know what I'm doing. Yep, I'm being honest I have no idea what Im doing, how I should shake the tip of my rod, how fast or slow I should reel. I guess it takes an awful lot of practice, patience and time but who has that when that speck is reeling off line and making away with your live bait? Exactly, the artificial gets tossed to the side and the fight is on...what ever your preference God Bless each of you and Great Fishing!

Staying safe in the wake of recent violence
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - In recent months, tragedy has been felt all across our country. Events such as the movie theatre massacre in Colorado, the deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and just Friday, closer to home, two people were shot at a mall near Roanoke, Virginia. It has some people asking: "Could it happen here?"
East Tennessee State University student, Casey Owenby, says, "It's one of those things where you feel like, it won't happen to me." But many public place are stepping up security in the wake of recent violence, just in case it happens here.
At ETSU, a place where thousands of college students call home, safety is a priority. ETSU spokesperson Joe Smith advises, "Awareness of safety is something that should be present all the times, especially when we hear these national incidents."
The same is true at the Mall at Johnson City, a public place where people are always coming and going.
"Does it concern me, the direction our world is going and how people are just targeting places like malls and schools to kill people? Yes, it definitely does," says Tembra Aldridge, the General Manager at the mall.
Leaders over public places in our area, are taking steps to make sure tragedy doesn't happen in our area. ETSU has added checkpoints and cameras around campus and at apartments like Buccaneer Ridge. Meanwhile, the Mall at Johnson City says they are planning an active shooter training class for their security guards and staff.
"The thing is, we just have to keep our eyes open and safety has got to be the first and foremost thing for us," adds Tembra. Both ETSU and the Mall at Johnson City have plans in place to alert the public in case of emergency. And while many public places plan for the worst, they're still holding out hope for the best.

This is great news after the speculation that it might not happen next year.
Last year's event was amazing, I wish Memorial Day Weekend will come sooner.
Fucking there. Last year was absolutely amazing and I hope everyone that went in our crew is there again. We definitely know what to do this time around and I'll be prepared with a shitload of bloody mary's. Huge camping group is a must now that there are so many of us returning.

coming back for sure, id assume same spot correct....??? PLEASE BE, its 5 minutes from my place.
Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)
Greatest festival I've ever been to. Will be back this year no matter what and I can't fucking wait.
Watch this beautiful ass video:
There were so many hot people at this fest as well.
There's too many festivals on this weekend every year.
Movement was that same weekend, yeah? or was that later?
8/7/16 - Sufjan Stevens @ Hollywood Bowl // 8/8/16 - Radiohead @ Shrine // 8/8/16 - Boris @ Regent
9/14/16 - Wilco @ Theatre at Ace Hotel // 9/18/16 - Kraftwerk @ Hollywood Bowl
Coachella will always be my fave festival music-wise, but LiB this year was hands-down the best fest "EXPERIENCE" and overall vibe I've ever experienced ... I just left feeling totally blissed out (I know it sounds like I was drinking the hippie juice), but I've missed that feeling every day since! Definitely a can't miss...
If I'm not at Movement, I will be here.
2/21: Weyes Blood, Half Waif, 20 Minute Loop, Young Moon @ Swedish American Hall

It's so frustrating that Ultra, Coachella, Movement and LiB all fall within the same two months
Dude....Ultra? come on now

The scene: In a city famous for its sandwiches, from the epic muffuletta at Central Grocery (which I have covered in this column) to the countless po'boy shops, one relative newcomer stands out in a huge way. A spinoff of the fancier sit-down Cochon restaurant in the city's Warehouse District, Cochon Butcher is a gourmet sandwich shop around the corner, sharing the same kitchen. It's a small space with a handful of high-top tables and metal stools outside on the sidewalk, a few high wooden tables inside, and a shelf down the right-hand wall where you can sit and eat. The left side is a counter where you line up and order, then have your food brought to your table (if you can get one) when it's ready. There is also a butcher case where the restaurant sells its house-made sausages and salumi to be enjoyed at home.
Cochon Butcher has a big local following and a lot of regulars who pick up to-go orders here. It is also very close to the convention center, and New Orleans is a big convention city, so when one is in town it greatly affects the lunch business here. But while it gets crowded, things move pretty fast. Although the menu stays the same, the vibe changes based on time of day: at lunch, it is more of a bustling sandwich and soda place, while in the evening, the atmosphere is more like a bistro, with patrons sharing a charcuterie plate over a bottle of wine. But at any time the food is simply fantastic.
ALSO IN NEW ORLEANS: Muffuletta sandwich at Central Grocery | Fried chicken at Willie Mae's
Reason to visit: Boudin blanc sausage, duck pastrami slider, charcuterie plate and just about all sandwiches, especially the Gambino, Pork Belly and Le Pig Mac.
The food: Cochon means pig in French, and butcher means, well butcher, and that pretty much sums it up. Lots of chefs and restaurants these days are making salami, sausages, and cured meats in house and practicing "nose to tail" use of whole hogs, but not many do an exceptional job. Cochon Butcher does, and the quality of its meats, using animals from specialized small farms, resonates through the entire menu. Just about everything is very good, but some things are transcendent, especially the Boudin blanc (white). While Boudin, a classic Cajun sausage, is usually a dark version of blood sausage, the blanc style has no blood. It looks a bit like bratwurst in size and color, but what makes it so different from other sausages is the inclusion of rice, a Cajun and Creole staple, which is stewed with pork and seasonings into a pasty filling that is stuffed into sausage casings, with the result crumbly and delicious. Two links come on a plate with some excellent house-made grain mustard as an appetizer.
The charcuterie plate is pretty massive and a great buy at $14. It is easily an entree for one or a wonderful appetizer to share for three or four. It includes ample portions of seven different meats: griddled warm rings of Andouille sausage, a lump of pate-like duck rillettes, a triangle of country-style pork pate, and four rows of sliced cured meats including coppa, duck pastrami, Genoa salami and soppressata. These products are Cochon Butcher's bread and butter, and are accompanied by very good bread-and-butter pickles, chow chow (a spicy relish), grain mustard and a plate of crisp, cracker-like flatbreads. Everything on the plate is very good but the standouts are the excellent Genoa and soppressata, very similar except the latter is spicier. The pate and rillettes are also very good and the Andouille is unusual in that it is not spicy at all, but has a pronounced ham flavor. Likewise the duck pastrami lacks the usual "pastrami" seasoning and is pretty much straight dark meat duck flavor. In general, they take the tack of focusing on the flavor of the underlying animal rather than spices, and for this reason, the duck pastrami is even better in the popular slider appetizer than on its own. It's the first "slider" I've ever seen that doesn't come on a bun, but rather on griddled white bread, served as sort of a grilled cheese with duck that is quartered into triangles and addictively decadent.
This brings us to the secret of success in Cochon's dozen sandwiches. In each case, the bread chosen to accompany the filling is a perfect match, as are the accompaniments, and this synergy borders on witchcraft. While the heart of the Gambino, Cochon's take on the classic "Italian" sub, is the three excellent quality cured meats - coppa, cotta and soppressata - what makes it sing is the fantastic crunchy yet tender ciabatta roll, the herb vinaigrette and the baby arugula, which has the aggressive peppery flavor arugula is supposed to have (but rarely does outside Italy). It's the same for the restaurant's playful take on the Big Mac, Le Pig Mac, which the menu describes as "2 all pork patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle and onion on a sesame seed bun." The three-tiered bun is more of a fluffy challah-style or brioche roll that is delicious, and while the special sauce is nearly identical to McDonald's, the flavorful pork patties and fresh locally farmed veggies make it a triumph.
The menu is pretty simple, a handful of apps, the dozen sandwiches and a few sides which change based on the daily produce delivery and typically included cole slaw and potato salad, along with seasonal specialties which can range from a watermelon salad to boiled peanuts with Cajun spices. The ultra-popular signature side is the pancetta mac and cheese, topped with breadcrumbs and filled with an inordinate amount of oozy cheese, then baked in individual ceramic dishes. Every bite is good, but the ones containing generous chunks of pancetta are awesome. Cochon Butcher is truly one of the nation's great sandwich and charcuterie shops, and it is virtually impossible to go wrong here. The menu is accompanied by a small list of craft beers (many local), a generous slate of wines by the glass and Mexican Coke, made with actual sugar rather than corn syrup.
Pilgrimage-worthy?: Yes on any visit to New Orleans, especially for the stunning Boudin blanc.
Rating: OMG! (Scale: Blah, OK, Mmmm, Yum!, OMG!)

Hurricanes vs Stormers
The Stormers established a pattern last season of gaining an early lead and then grinding out opposition. This year they've continued the trend of making a decent start to games – having scored the first points, first try and reached ten points before the opposition in 5/7 games. However rather than holding on, in 2013 they have been outscored in the second-half and conceded the last points in five matches. Whilst they won 13/16 away games from 2011-2012, this season they've lost their three trips – all to conference rivals too. The Hurricanes have won 5/8 matches. Like the Stormers, they are strong in the first-half – scoring first and leading at half-time in 5/8 matches and winning race to ten points in 6/8 games. The Wellington side have also been ahead at the break in their last nine home ties. They also share a second-half vulnerability with this opposition, having been outscored in the second-half and conceded the last points in five games. Of the 22 tries leaked so far, fourteen have come after the break. The 'Canes have won five of their last six games and the last four matches at home but lost four of their last five meetings with Stormers. The return of Victor Vito and Beauden Barrett to the fly-half spot is a boost for the hosts, but they will miss the threat that Julian Savea offers. It's two inconsistent teams meeting, but the visitors have only conceded nine tries so far and I am backing that mean defence to frustrate the Hurricanes in Palmerston North and will be taking the Stormers +3 points available.
Reds vs Blues
The Reds have won an impressive 11/12 games against New Zealand opposition and eight in a row at home. Since losing to the Blues in 2010, they have won 23/28 home games by an average score of 26-18. Australian teams have won 7/9 games against Kiwi sides this season – already matching the 7/20 wins from last year. The Reds have won the last three games against the Blues and 7/9 clashes at home by an average score of 31-20. They regularly got early tries last season and not much has changed in 2013, with the first try scored in 6/9 games and 6/20 tries occurring in the opening quarter. An improving Blues side have won 4/7 games by an average score of 27-20. However, they've only beaten Australians once on the last seven trips across the Tasman and have lost eleven of the last fourteen away games against all opposition. Sir John Kirwan has called this opposition the 'best side in the competition' and there is a sense they may be facing the Queenslanders at the wrong time, given the frustration displayed after the draw with the Brumbies. It may well be that whilst the visitors are the fresher of the two teams, their bye actually interrupted momentum whilst the Reds, despite not winning, played a game last round at a high intensity level. The Reds -5 appeals and that may well be as high as -7 or -8 by kick-off.
Chiefs vs Sharks
A rematch of the 2012 final was always going to spark interest, but with both teams suffering consecutive losses there is added pressure for this clash. The last time Chiefs lost three in a row was the middle of the 2011 season. Their average score in the opening four games was 39-23 and that has dropped to 21-20 recently. Dave Rennie has expressed his displeasure with the performance last week, calling it 'bloody frustrating' and suggesting a few fringe squad members had played themselves out of contention. The champions have won the last four matches against the Sharks by an average score of 22-11 and four of the last five at home by 28-14. The visitors have lost five of their last six trips to New Zealand sides and haven't scored a try in their last three matches. They have suffered a number of injuries to key players so calls to leave Ryan Kankowski at home, bench Keegan Daniel and Marcell Coetzee and draft in Derick Minnie are interesting. It may be that the games against the Highlanders and Force are being targeted but it seems that all is not well in the Sharks camp, even taking into account the quality of players absent. The returns of the experienced Craig Clarke and Mahonri Schwalger are timely for the hosts and the currently toothless Sharks may be facing a backlash. I'm happy to take the -9 for the Chiefs currently available.
Hail Mary
A Gio Aplon / Rod Davies anytime try scorer double pays 9.4 while a Conrad Smith, Ben Tapuai and Rob Ebersohn treble is 35.0. Meanwhile, backing the Stormers +9, Reds -3, Chiefs -4, Brumbies -6, Bulls -3, Cheetahs -8 and Crusaders -16 pays at 16.6.
Chiefs, Cheetahs and Crusaders by a 13+ margin. Bulls, Stormers and Brumbies by 1-12.

Strike King Coffee Tube 3.5" Pro-Model 8pk
The Strike King coffee tube has taken an interesting approach at marketing this new and exiting tube bait. The Strike King coffee tube is actually scented with real coffee bean granules and coffee bean oil. This natural and organic scent is very attractive to bass and as a result they grab on and hold on longer. The coffee scent also masks human scents applied to the baits when handling and rigging.The Strike King coffee tube also has very natural coloring due to the use of the coffee bean granules and oils. "Death before decaf."

Comments: KILLER tubes. I was a diehard zoom tube/ gitzit guy, until i thought i would give these a shot this spring. glad i did! Fishing Lake Champlain tribs for prespawn smallies, these tubes outfished both gitzits and zoom tubes every single day i went out. i thought their size might be a little big for smallies but heck no. i landed two in the past week over 20". BUY these tubes and you wont regret it

Comments: By far the best tube on the market. Lasts through a bunch of fish, great color selection and the price is right.
Comments: These are the best tubes I have ever used. I have been using these this season for sight fishing beds and I have to tell you, they work great. I don't know if it is the action when you bounce them in the bed, or the smell, but when the bass see them, it causes a reaction strike.

In Japanese poetry of the early eighth century the seasons are symbolised by the traditional subject of Snow, Moon and Flowers. Eleven centuries later Hiroshige expressed the enduring appeal of this subject in a series of three triptychs. In the third work in the series a full moon casts a grey cloud over a coastal scene that incorporates the eight sites at Kanazawa in Kaga Prefecture.

This example shows how you can run multiple Simulink® simulations of a Monte Carlo study in parallel by using Parallel Computing Toolbox™ with Rapid Accelerator. Before running this example, make sure you are in a writable directory. This involves six main steps:
Start MATLAB® workers on your machine
Build the rapid accelerator target
Set up data required for the multiple simulations
Run multiple simulations in a
parfor (parallel
for) loop
Plot results of multiple simulations
Close MATLAB workers
The model sldemo_suspn_3dof shown below simulates the vehicle dynamics based on the road - suspension interaction for different road profiles. The vehicle dynamics are captured in three degrees of freedom: vertical displacement, roll, and pitch. The road profile data for the left and right tires is imported into the Signal Builder block as different test groups. The Road-Suspension Interaction subsystem calculates the suspension forces on the vehicle at the four tire locations based on the road data and the current vehicle state. In the Body Dynamics subsystem these forces and the resulting pitch and roll moments are used to determine the vehicle motion in three degrees of freedom: vertical displacement, roll, and pitch.
In this Monte Carlo study, the vehicle mass is varied to study its effect on the vehicle dynamics. Parallel Computing Toolbox is used to speed up these multiple simulations, as illustrated below.
mdl = 'sldemo_suspn_3dof';
isModelOpen = bdIsLoaded(mdl);
First configure and start a pool of MATLAB workers. Use the
parpool command to check if a parallel pool is open, and then open a local pool on your multicore desktop. This requires Parallel Computing Toolbox.
apool = gcp('nocreate'); if isempty(apool) apool = parpool('local'); end
Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'local' profile ... connected to 12 workers.
First, make sure you are in a writable directory because in this step we will generate extra files. Then open the model and build the Rapid Accelerator executable for the model using the buildRapidAcceleratorTarget function from the Simulink.BlockDiagram package. The buildRapidAcceleratorTarget function returns the default run-time parameter set that is used to create multiple datasets in step 3.
open_system(mdl); rtp = Simulink.BlockDiagram.buildRapidAcceleratorTarget(mdl);
### Building the rapid accelerator target for model: sldemo_suspn_3dof ### Successfully built the rapid accelerator target for model: sldemo_suspn_3dof
Create a vector of run-time parameter structures for the different vehicle masses by using the default run-time parameter structure from step 2. Use the function modifyTunableParameters from the Simulink.BlockDiagram package to change the parameter corresponding to vehicle mass. Since there is only a parameter being changed here, it make sense to use a for loop instead of a parfor loop. Also preallocate an array of SimulationOutput objects in the Simulink package that will be used to collect the simulation results in step 4.
Mb_sweep = Mb*(0.5:5:45.5); iterations = length(Mb_sweep); for i = iterations:-1:1 parameterSet(i) = Simulink.BlockDiagram.modifyTunableParameters(rtp, ... 'Mb',Mb_sweep(i)); end simout(iterations) = Simulink.SimulationOutput;
parfor (Parallel
for) Loop
Run the multiple simulations corresponding to the different parameter sets within a
parfor loop. The sim command returns all the simulation data as a SimulationOutput object of the Simulink package. Note that the simulation results are collected in the simout variable, which was preallocated in step 3. To run the
sim command in Rapid Accelerator mode from inside a
parfor loop, the quickest way is to set the
sim command argument 'RapidAcceleratorUpToDateCheck' to 'off'. The parameter structures are passed by using the 'RapidAcceleratorParameterSets' argument.
parfor idx = 1:iterations simout(idx) = sim(mdl,'SimulationMode','rapid',... 'RapidAcceleratorUpToDateCheck','off', ... 'RapidAcceleratorParameterSets',parameterSet(idx)); end
Plot the vertical vehicle displacement from the different simulations to see how varying the vehicle mass affected the vehicle dynamics. Use the
get method of the SimulationOutput object to obtain the time and signal data contained in each element of simout.
legend_labels = cell(1,iterations); for i = 1:iterations si = simout(i); ts = si.get('logsout').get('vertical_disp').Values; ts.plot; legend_labels{i} = ['Run ' num2str(i)]; hold all end title('Response of a 3-DoF Suspension Model') xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel('Vehicle vertical displacement (m)'); legend(legend_labels,'Location','NorthEastOutside');
Last, close the parallel pool and the model if they were not previously opened.
if(~isModelOpen) close_system(mdl, 0); end delete(apool);
Parallel pool using the 'local' profile is shutting down.

Do you know how to provide First Aid for burns? Many burn injuries occur in the home while doing everyday tasks like laundry or cooking a meal. Those everyday, run-of-the-mill moments can turn into dangerous situations with life-long effects, as demonstrated in the story below:
When the wires in her family's laundry room overheated, setting her home on fire, Hayley Dabbs of Eden, North Carolina began her journey as a burn survivor at the age of three. Now 19 years old, as she grew older, Hayley became increasingly self-conscious about the burn scars that covered 80% of her body.
Recently, Hayley's story went viral on Facebook: "after years of hiding from herself and the world, she became tired of missing out on life." Her inspiring message of hope for those suffering from self-image issues challenged those living with burn injuries to not let their injuries dictate their lives. Read more of Hayley's story.
Recognizing and Treating Different Burns
If you find yourself in one of these situations, how can you help to reduce the life-altering effects of a serious burn? Knowing how to identify and treat different types of burns can be the difference between permanent damage and an infection-free and (relatively) fast recovery. There are various degrees and types of burns. Each has their own set of symptoms and best treatment methods. Learn what to look for so you know how to treat burns properly, whether on yourself or someone else.
1st degree burn (also called superficial burn)
First degree burns are the least serious because only the outer layer of skin is burned. They usually take about 3 to 6 days to heal. Common 1st degree burns are sunburns or burns from hot drinks. Symptoms include:
- Red Skin
- Swelling
- Pain
Usually these more superficial burns do not require medical attention from a doctor. To treat a first degree burn you should:
- Hold the burn under cool running water for several minutes
- Cover the burn with a sterile, non-stick bandage to avoid infection, depending on the severity of the burn.
- Give the victim an aspirin or pain reliever
- Soothe the area with a burn cream like [BurnFree]
2nd degree burn (also called partial-thickness burn)
A second degree burn occurs when the first and second layers of skin are burned. Its symptoms include:
- Blisters
- Severe Pain and swelling
- Skin has a red and blotchy appearance
Depending on the severity of the second degree burn, the National Safety Council suggests that if the burn is no larger than 3 inches in diameter, treat it as a minor/first degree burn.
If the burn is larger than 3 inches in diameter:
- Seek medical attention
- Soak the burn in cool water for 15 minutes. If the burn is on the back or chest, gently pour cool water over it using a bucket or container.
- If the burn is minor and small (but larger than 3 inches in diameter), place a cool, wet cloth or compress on the burn for at least 5 minutes.
- If the burn is severe (we're talking tons of blisters, redness, and swelling) keep soaking the burn in cool water until you can get to a doctor.
- If the burn is extensive you can put cool, wet compresses on the burn, but do not put cloth directly on the wound. Cloth fibers will attach to it, making the pain worse—especially when the doctor has to rip it off to treat the wound. For tips on how to wrap the wound and apply a cool compress, check out [familyeducation.com.]
- Do not break blisters or try to remove clothing stuck to the burn. Get to a doctor who can more effectively (and gently… and safely) remove melted-on or charred clothing.
- Give the victim a pain killer or Ibuprofen (if they are an adult). Inform medical personnel which pain killer was given, how much, and at what time.
- University of Maryland Medical Center also suggests elevating the burn above the heart.
3rd degree burn (also called full-thickness burn)
A third-degree burn occurs when all layers of the skin are burned and cause permanent damage to the skin, tissue, muscle, or even the bone. Its symptoms include:
- Charred skin on the burn site
- Skin may appear dry and white
- Difficulty breathing (if smoke inhalation accompanies burn)
No ifs, ands, or buts about it—get this person to a doctor!
- If they are on fire, have them stop, drop, and roll—or help them extinguish the fire by smothering it with a blanket.
- Call 911.
- Check that the victim is breathing. If necessary, use CPR to re-start circulation and breathing.
- Continue to check vital signs (pulse, rate of breathing, blood pressure) until the ambulance arrives.
- New York Time's Health section suggests that you should take these steps to prevent shock:
- Lay the person flat; elevate the feet about 12 inches.
- Cover the person with a coat or blanket.
- However, do NOT place the person in this shock position if a head, neck, back, or leg injury is suspected or if it makes the person uncomfortable.
What Other Types of Burns are there? How can I treat them?
Many times when we think of a burn, we just think of fire or sunburns. But there are several other types of burns that you can experience. Here are some tips for how to treat two of the most common:
Chemical burn:
- Find out what chemical caused the burn.
- Call 9-1-1.
- Move the victim away from fumes of the chemical or ventilate the area.
- Flush the area with running water for twenty minutes, wrap with a sterile bandage until Medical assistance arrives.
- DO NOT remove any clothing before you begin flushing the area.
- If the chemical burn is in the eyes or mouth:
- Call 9-1-1 immediately.
- Flush the burn until the ambulance arrives or you can get medical attention.
Electrical burn:
- Make sure the victim is away from electrical source and that the current is not running through them still before you touch them.
- Turn off the source of the electrical current if you can do so safely and quickly.
- Check for breathing and administer CPR if needed.
- Treat for shock.
- Cover the affected area with a sterile bandage.
- Seek medical attention.
What should you NEVER do when treating a burn?
According to the National Safety Council:
- Never remove any clothing that is stuck to the burnt skin, wrap in a sterile dressing or clean sheet.
- Do not soak large burn injuries in water—it may cause shock; use cool, wet compresses instead.
- Never use ice on a burn.
- Don't put oils, butters, or ointments on severe second and third degree burns. Doing so may cause skin to fall off and increase chances of infection to the area.
- Never pop blisters.
Burn injuries can have devastating effects. It is important to learn first aid for burns--the techniques you'll master will help minimize those negative effects and help the victim to recover successfully.

Skip to comments.Boy, 14, fatally shot in Uptown pizzeria
Posted on 05/29/2012 7:58:13 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement
A 14-year-old boy was shot and killed while eating pizza with his older sister in the Uptown neighborhood early this morning, officials said.
The shooting happened about 2:45 a.m. in a pizza and liquor store in the 5100 block of North Broadway, according to police.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
Shot by a neighborhood watch person?
Oh yeah...right after I pimped out the last of my 14 year old hoes for the night, I was always up for a slice of pizza at 3am..
Doesn't explain why a 14 yr old was out at a liquor/pizza joint at 2:45AM! Do they sell Skittles?
I read over 25 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend. Since none were shot by a white hispanic it must not be worth the news.
What could go wrong?
More than 40 shootings according to the Chicago Tribune; 10 dead.
The kid was there with his adult sister. He's not to blame.
And the city should be safe even at 2:45 AM on a holiday weekend.
Rahm should say something about this.
So should Jackson, Sharpton, and all the other activists.
Problem is, they won't. (It might mean having to point a finger of blame in the wrong direction...)
Could you imagine how bad it would be in Chicago now were it not for Baraq's brilliant years of "community organizing" ?
Like I told our kids as they went off to college, "Remember, nothing good ever happens after midnight."
Those sound like the same numbers in Feb or March.
Call me crazy but if this child WAS NOT in a liquor store at 2:45am he would not be dead.
That picture of rahm thumbing his nose describes perfectly what demorats feel about the American people. What a SOS rahm is.
(And the city should be safe even at 2:45 AM on a holiday weekend.)
It's Chicago. It is not safe at 2:25pm on any day...
This cannot be true, only police are allowed to have guns in Chicago.
Was the pizaa/liquor store open at the time?
Not to mention he should have been in school in 5 short hours. Son of Obama?
I suppose a cop shot the kid.
Well it could be but I do not think the City would allow that to be reported.
The volleyball competitions are enjoyable. :-)
My version is: Remember kids, all the cockroaches come out at night.
Well...it was a holiday weekend.
Pizza and liquor store?
Now that's what I call a convenience store!
Like I told our kids as they went off to college, Remember, nothing good ever happens after midnight.
Advice I assume they quickly ignored once they discovered that they good parties don't even start until 11pm.
College parties tend to track a little differently than all night pizza and liquor store evenets.
Excuse me... what PARENT would let their kids out for a pizza at 2:45 AM?? Those Amish people like to tell their kids to enjoy themselves, bedtimes are for non-Amish!!
School?? I bet since it wasn't basketball season, he wasn't in school!!!
No doubt.

Street Legal Motorsports and DOT Approved Track Competition Tire
Today's sports cars, compacts and performance sedans are extremely versatile. The tire they ride on has to be the same. The new AZENIS RT-615 offers a world spec construction, featuring an improved motorsports-grade cap compound that effectively maintains grip as tire temperatures increase. In addition, the special 8/32nd molded tread design reduces the new tire's tread squirm while providing efficient mileage for street use. A solid center rib significantly reduces wheel spin by increasing the tire's contact patch void ratio under heavy acceleration. Understanding the tremendous demands the AZENIS RT-615 will experience, new proprietary casing design, bead apex and turn-up technology allow for the elimination of heavy steel construction, resulting in an 8% reduction in unsprung tire weight.In its category, the Azenis RT-615 performs well in wet conditions. 8/32 tread depth and optimized aqua tusk positioning, allows better tread adhesion as it delivers ample wet grip performance. Matched with three high void low turbulence grooves, consistent, and in some cases, increased, wet weather speeds can be achieved as potential hydroplaning tendencies are reduced.The result: A tough, durable, street-sensible tire, whose 200/A/A UTQG rating, make it a great match for the autocross, time attack, or drift competition.

Jordan Schroeder should be the 2nd line centre to start the season
Patrick Johnston
January 18 2013 08:40AM
There's no denying the apparent chemistry between Jordan Schroeder and Mason Raymond. (Photos: Patrick Johnston)
We're all thinking it. The kid's time is now.
While there's been a lot of obfuscation on this one, Ryan Kesler appears to be ahead of schedule. The first ten games of the season features seven games against teams that should finish behind the Canucks.
The table is set to run out the young guy and see if he's got the stuff as an NHL player. This needs to be qualified by all of the tabel salt, but he certainly appeared to in Thursday night's scrimmage.
For most prognosticators, Andrew Ebbett's maturity and actual NHL experience has kept him a the presumptive fronter to be the short term number two centre to begin the season. But that's the risk-averse pick, and I hate risk-averse decisions. The best picks are the educated risks and Jordan Schroeder would be an educated risk.
Relatively easy schedule to start with
Here's the opening ten games for the Green and Blue:
By my count, there are three really tough games in there - the Sharks, the Kindg and the Hawks. But there are also some games in there where a young player like Schroeder could thrive. Home games to start against the Ducks, the Oilers and the Flames? Schroeder's not exactly a slouch in his own end, but it's fair to assume that the likes of Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Jordan Eberle, Jarome Iginla, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan will be up against the Sedins and Max Lapierre. There will be plenty of soft minutes, and slower third pairing defenseman (Matt Greene, Mark Fistric, Sheldon Souray, for example) for Schroeder and Mason Raymond to exploit. With Zack Kassian riding shotgun, it could be fireworks. Of course it could also be a lot of goals against, but let's ignore that for now.
He's already in great shape
Remember, Schroeder's in mid-season form. He's played 30 games for the Wolves already. He's picked up 19 points. At his rate of scoring this campaign, he's good for 52 AHL points in an 82-game season. As a comparison point, Cody Hodgson and Jordan Schroeder spent the 2010-11 season as teammates. Hodgson recorded 0.57 pts/gm while Schroeder managed 0.45 pts/gm. We always knew that Schroeder would be on a slower development curve, ahd he's also a different kind of player player. This season he's increased his production to 0.63 pts/gm and has earned compliments for his strong two-way play.
Rob Vollman's AHL-NHL translations suggest he'd produce at a 0.34 pts/gm clip, not great for a second line centre. But a 30 point scoring rate from a sheltered young player is nothing to sneeze at.
He's also been playing games for three months, while his older teammates (and the rest of the league) were getting rusty. There's a lot of NHLers won't be up to speed until nearly ten games out anyway; so Schroeder's got the chance to build some NHL self-confidence while much of the league is simply looking to find its legs.
Building chemistry
Yes it was just a scrimmage, but Schroeder's Thursday night matching with Mason Raymond shows potential. Raymond bagged a hat trick; two of the goals came from outstanding passes by Schroeder.
Despite our persistent belief in the 'make the team out of training camp' narrative, successful teams don't pick their lineups based on a small sample size that consists of less-than-full strength lineups. But with Schroeder as an NHL player there's little to go on. He's never made it out of training camp and he's never skated in a regular season or playoff game. What we do have to go on is his display of skill and on Thursday night this shone through. The potential is there, anyway, and he's already got one winger he's familiar with (potentially Zack Kassian) on top of the new one in Raymond.
Hiring the guy who can grow outside the box
That guy is not Andrew Ebbett. We know what he can do, he won't let the team down. But he's also thirty years old.
A family friend who worked for Air Liquide told me when I was young about what he looks for in a new hire. He told me that if he were presented with two equally qualified candidates, who interviewed equally well and appeared to have equivalent experience, both with MBAs; if one of them had a history or political science or other such humanties degree, he would choose that candidate, even if the other candidate had an undergraduate business degree.
The rationale was that the the history degree gave the applicant skills that fell outside the box - he knew how to builid a well-researched academic argument, from front to finish. He figured the all-business applicant would be super reliable and a solid choice, but would possibly be lacking in the creative thinking department.
Choosing Jordan Schroeder is like picking the history/political science applicant. We know he can do the job as well as Andrew Ebbett, but his youth speaks to a potential upside that should not be ignored. Neither choice, in the short term, presents much risk; in the long term, one has much stronger growth potential.
Time is now
Jordan Schroeder is 22. There's no better time to start your NHL journey. He's ready to learn about the next step. There's a window of opportunity for the Canucks to find out about what they've got, with very little risk.
It's time to play the kid.
Great article, you've convinced me. Nice point about the soft mins available in the first few games. After reading this, I wouldn't be surprised if they do start Schroeder, and only sub in Ebbett if Schroeder has a very bad outing. I wouldn't be surprised also if the intention has been to start with Schroeder and AV's public statement that the two are battling for a spot is a way to push Schroeder.
"While there's been a lot of obfuscation on this one, Ryan Kesler appears to be ahead of schedule." Who said this?
Exactly what I want to know. Has there been some update that gives us a timeline on Kesler's return?
January 18 2013, 01:21PM
How will you fit him in while keeping Ebbett on the team? Cuz if we place Ebbett on waivers and he gets picked up, we're pretty fked...
Send Tanev down (if he's on a 2-way and doesnt need to enter waivers)?
January 18 2013, 01:58PM
Send Tanev down? Send Barker down. He is on a two way deal and no one is going pick him up. Vandemeer could even play the wing on the 4th if it was needed.
2 way contracts have nothing to do with waivers. It's age and games played.
While we could keep 12 forwards and 9 defence, then use a D like Vandermeer as cover, it seems reasonable that we'd keep both Schroeder and Ebbett (13 forwards). That'd mean sending down one of our defence (most likely Barker or Vandermeer, both would have to pass waivers) but it might be a good choice.
Agreed, I think now is the time to see what we've got in Schroeder. Give him the first few games and if he can't handle it just go with Ebbett. Personally I think we should give him the Hodgson treatment and try and boost his value since he's not a longterm fit here. Might as well try and get another prospect or player for him who will fit better.
@Patrick Kelly
Vandermeer's on a two way deal, but Barker is not. Either way, it's Aquilini's money, not ours, and it doesn't affect our cap as both are under $900K. My guess is Barker gets sent down.
@Patrick Johnston
If so, we could put him on the IR until he's ready, but he might be back too soon for LTI relief. Hard to say if they'll bring him back quickly though, might depend on how that second line does without Booth and Kesler or if we don't bring any upgrades back in a Luongo deal.
January 18 2013, 02:22PM
Youre totally right, and I am extremely suprised by that. I was under the assumption he was because he is barely worthy of an NHL contract as it is. May bad.
But your right even without the 2 way, Barker still is likely to go down. I cant believe they didnt sign him to a 2 way. I am totally perplexed by that.

The one quibble I have with "Chasing Pavements, Part 2″ is that Fiona's realization that she's gay seems more added on for the extra drama than when characters in prior seasons came out. Still, the conclusion was a really solid episode, and the subplots — Alli's math crusade, the strange attraction between Anya and Owen — worked nicely.
Now that Fiona's plotline is wrapped (for now), we can look forward to the last two episodes, where Eli smothers Clare. (Not literally, but he's definitely become an overbearing boyfriend, and her suggestion that they take a break doesn't go over well…)

Alex Mallet gets demoted
Patrick Johnston
December 04 2012 11:59AM
Alex Mallet needs to get back to driving to the net in Kalamazoo. (Photo: Chris Jerina/AHL in Photos)
Alex Mallet is off to Kalamazoo. The young Quebecer, a quintessential 'off-the-board' draft pick, was always going to be a project. Between the Wolves' lockout-bloated squad and the rawness of his skills, Mallet has struggled to get icetime and what little he's had, he's done little to stand out in a crowd.
But it's not like he's the first to have struggled to step up after gaining attention as a late-bloomer; Darren Archibald found the same challenges in his first professional season, just last year.
During the Wolves' road trip to Abbotsford in October, Mallet said he hoped to gain the confidence of the coaches.
"I hope that I can prove myself as a scorer and on defence," he said at the time.
"I need give the coaches a reason to keep trusting me," he said.
With such a competitive roster, that was always going to be a challenge.
A year-and-a-half ago, Darren Archibald came on strong at the tail end of his junior career. All of a sudden he went from OHL overager to AHL prospect and he struggled to keep up. Even though he scored the Wolves' first goal of the year, his ice time slid and by the end of November, he wasn't even dressing. A demotion to Kalamazoo came not long after.
The ECHL suited him well, though. He found his scoring touch and obviously worked hard on his skating. Skating was held up as the reason he was never drafted, even as he showed a scoring touch. Without the puck, it wasn't much of a problem, but learning to pull away from defenders while he had the puck? That remained an issue. Archibald started this season back in Kalamazoo, but was recalled a week ago and now has 10 shots in 3 games and has his second and third career AHL goals to boot.
At first blush, Archibald would look to be back on the ladder.
Scouts see Mallet's challenges as not far off from Archibald's. With a strength born from physical maturity, neither player is easy to knock off the puck; but looking like you are stuck in neutral is an easy thing to happen in the AHL. Everyone can skate there, after all.
Mallet moving down to Kalamazoo may seem to be a set back, but he's had the chance to see what it will take to succeed in the AHL. Working to get back there is as good a motivator as any. He'll also get icetime, something that was never going to be easy to find in Chicago.
In his profile of Mallet this summer, Jeff Angus highlighted Laurence Gilman's comments about Mallet's development curve. He's a player who's 'figured it out' later than most, but that suggests a maturity in Mallet that seemed evident at the beginning of the season. He's learned what it means to be good. (It should be noted that Mallet was a vastly improved player in his second season in the Q as a regular).
The simple fact is that Mallet has just 4 shots in 13 games. That shows us that he's not getting much ice time and that what little ice time he's getting, he's not seeing the net all that often and he's certainly not using those chances to shoot.
At this summer's prospects camp. Mallet was a standout performer, winning puck battles all over the place and driving to the net with confidence. He needs to re-find that element of his game and adapt it to the professional ranks.

2. As Denim Hunt's Shanna says, "luxury brands like GUCCI aren't often known for denim". Maybe these ugly denim accessories are the reason why! But we digress—their jeans are looking pretty good. Btw, you can watch Gucci's spring 2012 runway show online.
3. Fornarina's cinematic new video involves extremely tight jeans, butt-shots, and a horse.
4. Raw jeans for dudes for under $100! Gargyle has THVM raw tapered jeans in indigo for just $97.00 in their new arrivals section.
5. See sultry photos of Carolyn Murphy hanging out in caves in part 2 of rag & bone's latest campaign where models take cameras and do their own thing.
