February 2011 E-News Brief
UPDATE: Lloyd Wright's Moore House
As reported in the DOCOMOMO US December 2010 E-News Brief, the Los Angeles Conservancy is leading the cause to advocate for the preservation of the 1959 Moore House designed by noted architect Lloyd Wright - the son of Frank Lloyd Wright - in Palos Verdes Estates. The deadline to comment on the environmental impact report (EIR) was December 10, 2010, and the Palos Verdes Estates City Council received over 500 letters from area residents, design professionals, architectural historians, historic preservation organizations and concerned individuals across the country. Release of the final EIR is expected shortly, followed by a vote by the Palos Verdes Estates Planning Commission at a public hearing.
The Los Angeles Conservancy recently released video segments from the 1995 documentary Wrightian's Organic Architecture #7. The videos include exterior and interior tours of the Moore House, complete with commentary from Eric Lloyd Wright (son of the architect), as well as an interview with the late Dr. Louis T. Moore, the original owner who commissioned the house.
Visit the Moore House page at the Los Angeles Conservancy website to view all the videos and learn how you can help.
Docomomo International: A Caracas Anthology
Much of the American architecture and the urban and landscaping projects built in the 20th Century in Caracas, Venezuela are now Modern Heritage at Risk -- some more acutely than others -- and therefore an important concern to conservationists. To document these structures, Docomomo Venezuela presents American Architects and Planners in Modern Caracas. A work in progress, this comprehensive photo anthology was assembled by Hannia Gómez of Docomomo Venezuela and features stunning then and now images of the city's most significant Modern structures.
The projects presented are organized into five subjects derived from Caracas modern history, including Suburban Neighborhoods, Rockefeller's Men and Oil Corporate Headquarters. Some vanished projects are also included in this list, due to their importance in the history of Caracas Modern architecture.
Visit the Docomomo Venezuela website to view the full collection.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Marine Biology Station at Montemar, Chile
Maximiano Atria, secretario general of Docomomo Chile reports on a recent success: news of the final demolition of the ongoing but suspended addition to the marine biology station at Montemar, Chile, a work of architect Enrique Gebhard. Atria writes:
The Eindhoven Statement holds as one of Docomomo International's main objectives to oppose destruction and disfigurement of significant works of the modern movement. Since its foundation in 2004, Docomomo Chile's efforts have been centered on encouraging research on modern architecture and on several campaigns dedicated to call attention of the public towards the need to protect and valorize modern heritage.

ADVOCACY SPOTLIGHT: Triangle Modernist Houses
Triangle Modernist Houses (TMH) is an award-winning 501(c)3 registered nonprofit historical archive dedicated to documenting, preserving and promoting Modernist residential design, and considered one of the largest single archives for residential modern in the United States.
The Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill "Triangle" region of North Carolina has the third largest concentration of Modernist houses in America -- more than anywhere else except Los Angeles and Chicago. This is due in large part to Henry Kamphoefner, the founding Dean of the NC State University School of Design (now College of Design) who recruited top faculty and insisted that they practice as well as teach. Their output was prolific but almost completely undocumented, until the formation of Triangle Modernist in 2007. With almost 10,000 photos, TMH tracks more than 1200 Modernist houses in North Carolina alone, along with 1800 elsewhere around the country, principally in California and New York.
TMH is an early-warning system for endangered Modernist houses, a sponsor of popular Modernist housetours, an extensive catalog of North Carolina and national Modernist residential architecture, and a community of knowledgeable advocates for design and construction. TMH maintains a rapidly growing collection of audio, video, and document archives featuring Modernist architects both living and deceased, including over 130 in North Carolina. Among the collections featured are the 1950 NCSU School of Design curriculum and archives of North Carolina Architect (formerly Southern Architect) dating back to the 1950s.
For more information, visit the Triangle Modernist website at www.trianglemodernisthouses.com.

Greening Modernism
Preservation, Sustainability & The Modern Movement
Carl Stein, Author. Published by W.W. Norton & Company, 2010.
With much of our interest in design and construction focused on sustainability, the preservation of modern architecture has become a subject of much discussion. Buildings created in what author Carl Stein refers to as the 'petroleum' era are coming particularly under much scrutiny and in turn becoming the victim of negative perceptions and opinions. In his new book Stein seeks to address these issues in a broader historical and comprehensive context. Aside from the more general discussion of sustainability and energy, he sees Modernism not solely as a problem but part of the solution. Or, in his own words: "While Modernism does not, in itself, offer new design tools for building reuse and historic preservation, it does provide a very clear framework for the appropriate application of these tools."
Preserving Post-War Britain

American Institute of Architects New York Chapter
Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place, New York, NY
The heroic steel, glass, and concrete housing estates, office blocks, schools, and civic complexes built across Britain in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s by Alison and Peter Smithson, Stirling and Gowan, Sir Denys Lasdyn, Sir Basil Spence, Ernö Goldfinger, Powell & Moya, Gillespie, Kidd, & Coia, and other neo-Corbusians and Miesians have come to be ranked as unique contributions to the Modern Movement. But some that are endangered have been branded as obsolete, bleak reminders of the welfare state, and their protection has aroused fierce debate.
Join AIA's Historic Buildings Committee and author Alan Powers for a lecture examining both the original reception of these buildings and the now often uphill battles with developers, government officials, and public opinion to save them, revealing the complex nature of architectural taste.

Ed Chamberlin: United in charge
Ed Chamberlin looks ahead to Festival Trials Day and reflects on another dramatic weekend in the Premier League.
- Related Content
Sky Bet's Premier League Title odds: 4/11 Man Utd, 9/4 Man City, 25/1 Chelsea, 125/1 bar
Super Sunday was eventful on and off the field at White Hart Lane last weekend. I sat with Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville in the studio convinced the game would be postponed. The ground-staff did a magnificent job to get the game on and were rewarded with a fascinating match.
- Premier League
|Man Utd
|Man City
- last updated 23/01 21:48
For 92 minutes Gary described it as very nearly the perfect away performance and exactly how Manchester United need to set up to take on Real Madrid in the Bernabeu. They just won't want a repeat of the sting in the tail from Dempsey's equaliser.
Man United have had the 'sign' over Spurs for years but Tottenham deserved the point on Sunday and will take a lot from the two games against United this season. AVB's side have a real resilience about them.
United drifted in the title betting from 3/10 to 4/11 but I see the Tottenham game as a major hurdle cleared and ticked off. Arsenal are the only side in the top seven they still have to play away from home, with all the big guns having to travel to Old Trafford. United remain firmly in the driving seat.
Manchester City (9/4) are hanging in there well and with United, Chelsea and Arsenal hogging the newspaper headlines, for the moment Roberto Mancini's side are cruising along nicely under the radar.
Friday was crazy even by Premier League standards. The writing was on the wall for Nigel Adkins as soon as the money poured in all that morning on him to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
"Adkins was soon trading at 1/10 with Sky Bet and the rumours were swirling around on Twitter. The timing of the sacking was staggering, just two days after I'd been at Stamford Bridge to witness the Saints fans' ecstasy at the 2-2 draw."
Just 48 hours later Adkins and his excellent coaches, Andy Crosby and Dean Wilkins, were gone. Mauricio Pochettino immediately and ruthlessly installed.
Before the game at St Mary's on the Monday Night Football, Gary Neville explained his amazement at the decision and what a risk it is for the club. He was equally shocked by the lack of a single mention, let alone a thank you, in the Southampton match day programme.
It's not often a new manager sparks the odds on his team being relegated to shorten. Saints have the biggest cushion from relegation that they've had all season (4pts) but are still only 7/4 with Sky Bet for the drop.
However, there were encouraging signs from the first 45 minutes on Monday night and the squad are now in Barcelona getting to know their new manager.
It's over to the FA Cup this weekend but I'm already looking forward to getting back to action on Sunday week at the Etihad.
Dear Lord, Please let the weather to relent and allow Festival Trials Day to go ahead at Cheltenham this weekend. Many thanks. Ed.
Whenever Trials day happens, be it Saturday or re-scheduled for Sunday or the 27th January, it promises to be a sensational day's racing.
If Cheltenham asked for volunteers to get the snow off the covers, an army of people would arrive. Racing fans have been denied decent jumping for what seems like an age now and punters are desperate for action.
The upside to the cold snap has been watching the replays of the races at the 2012 Festival on television and that really does whet the appetite.
Festival Trials day will throw up clues galore as trainers have few options for their top horses now, which means there are some brilliant clashes and head to heads in store.
If the meeting at Leopardstown also goes ahead, starved racing fans really will suddenly be served up a feast, though it will be a great shame to lose Sky Bet Chase day at Doncaster.
All the snow gives the big trainers an advantage as they have the facilities and resources to carry on working their horses with little interruption, while smaller yards will have found things significantly harder.
I remember after the cold snap last year, Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson made hay and plundered big prizes and this could easily happen again.
Henderson is set to unleash a potential star in the opener on Saturday, the Triumph Hurdle Trial. I've been hearing rave reviews about Rolling Star and it looks like there's been money for him already for the Triumph itself as he's down to 12/1 with Sky Bet without jumping a hurdle in public as his sole racecourse appearance was winning a seven furlong contest at Deauville in August 2011. Henderson has a superb record in the Triumph and it sounds like Michael Buckley and the Vestey family have another star on their hands.
The next two races look very trappy, though Walkon sorely deserves to get his head in front in the Murphy Group Chase at 1.15pm. Then it's time to sit back and enjoy the brilliance of Sprinter Sacre, before the key Gold Cup trial in the Argento Chase.
It would fantastic to see Imperial Commander come back in style and he looked in great health when he worked at Warwick recently. However, I think he and all the others have their work cut out to beat Bobs Worth.
"He looked a better horse in the Hennessy, which I thought he won with a ton in hand and looks a rock solid Gold Cup favourite to me. If Bobs Worth is in the mix two out, no one will out-battle him up the hill."
Some might say Grands Crus beat him readily in the Feltham last season and can do so again but to me Bobs Worth sums up the difference between Kempton and Cheltenham and why so many impressive Kempton winners struggle at the Festival. The tracks are chalk and cheese.
Bobs Worth will always struggle at a speed track and going right-handed but is a totally different beast at Cheltenham, where he is unbeaten. If ever a course was made for a horse, then this it. I just love the way he puts his head down and relishes the famous hill. Remember, Bobs Worth had all sorts of problems last season and they did well just to get him to Cheltenham, let alone win the RSA.
He looked a better horse in the Hennessy, which I thought he won with a ton in hand and looks a rock solid Gold Cup favourite (3/1 with Skybet) to me. If Bobs Worth is in the mix two out, no one will out-battle him up the hill.
The top class action doesn't finish there - though I love the way the big races will be over before all the football kicks off - as the novice hurdle that follows could include another top notcher.
The New One reminded me a bit of French Holly at Warwick two weeks ago as he looks like a ferocious galloper. We know he handles the track and I could see him becoming a warm order for the Neptune after this.
The other novice I have been most impressed with recently was Un Atout, who bolted up at Naas last weekend. He beat nothing but looked majestic and it sounds like he's right at the top of the pecking order among Willie Mullins powerful novice brigade.
Un Atout shares the same sire, Robin des Princes, as Sir Des Champs and could also be a bit special. Willie Mullins said afterwards "he may go for the Deloitte Novice Hurdle in three weeks and I won't be anxious to step him up in trip for the moment."
I like that quote for two reasons.
First, he needs more experience and Mullins usually sends one of his to the Deloitte. Second, it sound like the Supreme Novices is the target rather than a step up in trip in the Neptune for which Mullins and Gigginstown have plenty of other options. That's enough to trigger my first Festival ante-post bet and I'll be snapping up some of Sky Bet's 7/1 on Un Atout to reign Supreme.

Phyto Huile D'ales Intense Hydrating Oil Treatment
- Overview
- Features
- About the brand
Phyto Huile D'ales Intense Hydrating Oil Treatment is a 100% natural botanical oil treatment that revitalizes and conditions the most dry, stressed, and chemically processed hair.
An unprecedented creation, Huile dAles is a unique blend of castor plant oil and essential oils (sage, rosemary, juniper berries and lemon) that are specially formulated to moisturize, smooth and restore shine to dry hair. The original formula in Huile dAles easily rinses out with water and immediately imparts shine to dry hair tarnished by environmental stresses and harsh treatments. Huile dAles is also water soluble making it idea to use before a color treatment to protect hair and lock in color.
Apply once or twice a week to dry hair, at least half an hour before shampooing or the night before. Break off the neck of the ampoule with a tissue or towel and pour content into dispenser. With a cotton ball, apply oil to hair concentrating on the ends, section by section. Twist individual section and massage in an upward motion from the ends to the root to facilitate penetration of oil under the cuticle. Cover hair with aluminum foil and/or use steamer for more effective application. Rinse well and shampoo with Phytoneutre followed by a second shampoo of your choice.
Before opening his first salon in 1969, stylist Patrick Alès sharpened his skills styling the hair of legendary beauties Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Catherine Deneuve. Beauty insiders have been pampering their strands with Phyto's coveted line of botanically derived, good-for-your-hair care for the last four decades. Clinically tested for performance, these naturally derived, cruelty-free formulas are packed in 100 percent recyclable containers, bringing eco-friendly hair care to a shower near you. Fans include Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Oprah and the cast of "Gossip Girl".
Phyto Is One Of The BestI use quite a bit of this line, mostly for repair/growth. This is a very hydrating product that I recommend. It works for a short period of time, after a few washes I don't see the result anymore, but I think regular use on a weekly basis (maybe twice a week) is best. There is plenty of product for me to get two uses out of it, but I have thin, shoulder length hair.Mar 14, 2011Irene / Denver, CoHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Very NiceI really liked this! the oil is really light so when u put it on your hair, its easy to distribute unlike other oils such as olive oil, castor oil, etc. I like the glass spritz bottle to evenly get the oil in your hair (though the top keeps unscrewing while spritzing your hair which can be annoying) But all in all, the application is easy. When u get under water to rinse it off, hair feels really silky.Jun 29, 2009MimiHAIR TYPEAfrican American

Great StuffMy hairstylist recommended I use this once a month on my hair, and it is amazing my hair is healthier, smoother, and very well taken care of with this stuff. I have been looking for something like this for a long time that after I got done using it my hair wouldnt be greasy, even after washing it like 2 times after an application. I have really damaged hair and the abuse never stops, I flat iron and blow dry my hair every day, and I dye it every 3 months. This stuff has saved my hair.Mar 26, 2008Megan / Leesburg,FL

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
After having gave a game away against the very same team the previous week, the Emery High Lady Spartan softball team made sure not to repeat the effort this week. Emery hosted South Sevier last Tuesday in Castle Dale at the high school fields and this time they won the game 14-4 in five innings.
Offense was not the problem in the first game, mental mistakes were. In this game Emery was in the game the entire way and made sure that the win was going to be theirs. Emery made only one error in this game, which cost a run.
In this game every Emery batter got on base and eight of the nine scored at least a run. Ashton Bell, Hailee Beckstead, Kambrie Hinkins and Gentry Noyes each hit homeruns. Bell, Taylor Payne and Abby Jacobsen each hit a double. Emery had 11 base hits in the game of which seven were for extra bases. Emery also garnered seven walks and three players got hit by a pitch. Emery had 21 players on base in five innings of play for them offensively.
Emery scored twice in the first inning only to have the Rams tie the score in the top of the third inning. Emery went back up by two in the bottom of that inning only to have the Rams respond with two more runs in the top of the fourth and Emery fans were just a little nervous that it might happen again.
But the nervousness was for naught as Emery scored five times in the fourth inning and five more times in the fifth inning to secure the win. Emery even got out of the top of the fifth with a scoreless Ram inning after two players got on base with only one out.
In the first inning, Noyes walked to lead off the game and Bell followed with her homerun. In the third inning, singles by Beckstead, Jacobsen and Makayla Clark scored the first two runners.
In the fourth inning, Hinkins led off with a homerun. Jadree Huntington followed with a walk and then Noyes hit a homerun. Bell and Payne had back to back doubles followed by a walk to Clark, a single by Jacobsen and a walk to Hinkins. Emery had the bases loaded when the last out occurred.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Emery was up 9-4 when they began their at bat. Noyes got hit by a pitch and Beckstead followed with a homerun. Bell walked, Payne got hit by a pitch, Jacobsen doubled, Clark got hit by a pitch and on a ground out by Hinkins, the fifth run of the inning scored and the game was over.
Emery will be tested next week when they play at Grand on Tuesday and San Juan at home on Wednesday. San Juan is the defending state champion. On Saturday, Emery will travel to Payson to play in an all-day tournament, mostly against bigger schools.

Customer Reviews
Comments: The best I have used to date these things simply work! I use them for punching but what I really love them for is ripping deep weed beds. I spend a whole lot less time taking weeds off of it then a jig and less time doing that equals more time fishing.
From: Billy: WI 7/10/14
Comments: I have been using the Bama Bug color with a Zoom Ultra Vibe Craw in green pumpkin. This bait looks just like a perch in the water. Big bass crush it. Skirt is durable and the paint stays on. Great punching bait.
From: Glenn: Shrewsbury, MA 7/7/14
Comments: Love using the smaller sizes for light flipping with a beaver. I have one on at all times, and use the bigger weights for punching mats on Big O. Never had an issue with a skirt coming off or chewing line like the ones with skirt hubs. Hand tie makes it flair, big ones just eat it!
From: Unknown: USA
Comments: These baits are awesome. Easier to get through heavy cover, multiple uses and combinations, and just flat out catch big fish. Paint is heavy duty and skirts have good color and action. If your looking for a good flipping bait look no further try one of these with your favorite craw or creature bait and hang on.

I'm Sold!I tried Aphogeefor the first time a week and a half ago. Its the best conditioning treatment Ive ever had. Its not your ordinary conditioner. It minimizes and even stops breakage.It stregnthens and evens makes the hair fuller and did I say stronger? I want to keep using it to maintain healthy and strong hair, and to help the damaged areas that ordinarilly would break. I swear, after the treatment, i had trouble finding the breakage. I had to come through and stare at my hair up close to try to find the breakage.Its that good at fastening the weak areas! The smell is gross though and lingers even when rinsed out, but the results are soooo worth it that I wlll still use it regardless...The results are that good!!Jan 8, 2005Jeanne

I Love It!!!!My hair is starting to shed (thinning) and comes out in my comb. Ive tried every product I could find to reverse it. Nothing seemed to work. I found ApHOGEE Treatment for Damaged Hair last year and has sworn by it ever since. The application process for this product is messy but its worth the hassle. I use it at least twice a month. After each use, my hair gets thicker and it no longer come out in the comb.Sep 9, 2004Malynda / Baltimore, MD

My Hair Was Coming Out In ClumpsMy hair was so damaged and I dont know what the reason was. When I had been washing and conditioning my hair every week, it had been coming out in clumps. I was so scared because my hair has came out before and I had alopecia so I thought that it was happening again. I called my beautician and she told me to come in. Due to my weird work schedule, I couldnt make it in there and she was going on vacation for two weeks. Im thinking, two more whole weeks of my hair coming out like this is going to be bad. She suggested that I get ApHOGEE Treatment for Damaged Hair. I was desperate so I was willing to try anything. I couldnt get over the smell, it was terrible. I tell you this, my hair didnt come out one bit after I used this treatment. I was so glad that she told me to get it. After six weeks, I am going to use it again to keep my hair healthy. My room mate and my mother both told me that it looks so think and full. They also said that its growing. This product works for real. I bought some DOO GRO Hair Oil and Medicated Oil as well and that helps your hair grow back so fast. Thank God!Aug 29, 2004Heather / Dayton, OH

Excellent ProductThis product is absolutely fabulous. I was slightly weary due to the rather sour smell, but it is completely worth it. Immediately after I shampooed it out, i could run my hands through my hair with virtually NO breakage! It felt thicker and strong and had a very healthy shine. My hair has been colored and bleached and chemically straightened many times, yet a few weeks after I used this, I went in to have highlights put in and the stylists were raving about the strong and healthy condition my hair was in. It is actually as amazing as it proclaims to be, if not more!Aug 8, 2004Miranda

Restored My Confidence.ater giving birth to my first child my hair grew long and thick for the first time in my life. wanting to show off my newly aquired hair gain i went and relaxed my hair with a curly perm only 2 months after having had a straight perm, what a nightmare. my hair was falling out in clumps every time i tried combing it , i was so depressed about it. i didnt even want to comb it anymore so i wore a scarf all the time to hide my badly damaged now so short hair. i dicided to try extentions and that only made it worst because they were pulling out my hair. my hair was the lenght of my pinky finger in the back and half of that in the middle and even less in the front. then i remembered hearing about aphogee from a friend , i couldnt afford to buy the full line af products at the time but i said if i didnt do something fast i would be bald in a month . so i bought the hair treatment, the shampoo, the balance moisturizer, leave-in treatment ,and also the restructerizer. that was the day i saved my dignity and self esteem. ive had four treatments and my hair is looking the healthiest it ever has in my entire life {literally}. now i am not ashamed to show my hair , i dont wear scarfs anymore and im happy. i recomend aphogee products all the time to my friends.aphoggee products is the savior for the world of extremly damaged hair!Jun 18, 2004Rhondine / New York

Hair HeavenIf you want to eliminate hair breakage, and you want to grow your hair long, this is the product for you. I use this product one week before my relaxer, so that my hair is strong and can withstand the chemicals and as soon as my relaxer is taken out. It has an odor i will warn but it is worth the smell. Your hair feels stronger after the very first use. It really helps heal your hiar with its added proteins. i swear by this product. Before using this product i had so much breakage. After using it and combing my hair, hardly any hair came out. Now my hair is longer and stronger because there is less breakage.May 4, 2004Elia B. Sanchez / Savannah

Sobering thoughts on Schremp
Jason Gregor
December 16 2008 02:00PM
Before all the Schrempnatics start cursing, let me say this: he isn't good enough to be a regular threat in the NHL. Robert Nilsson is just as gifted offensively and skill-wise, but he is a much better skater. Schremp still doesn't back off D-men at any point on the ice.
Three assists in four games was good, but not good enough. Right now if he plays on the team, he plays in place of Nilsson. He won't take Penner's spot on the first line LW, nor can he check like Moreau as the third line LW, and playing him on the fourth line makes no sense.
Schremp has improved immensely since we saw him late last year. I know that he really wants to be an everyday NHLer, and that's why I don't think his reassignment today will destroy him. Is he pissed, disappointed and ready to get a MacT voodoo doll? Of course he is, but if he looks in the mirror he also knows that he still has to improve his foot speed and lose some bad habits.
Too often the minute he reaches the attacking blue line, he stops moving his feet, looks for a pass, or peels off toward the boards. He has to bring more diversity to his game.
I've only seen Schremp live less than 15 times in his career, so I decided to ask five scouts who have seen him multiple times. I asked them all the same question, and all of them work for opposing teams. Since it can be considered tampering to comment on other teams' players I will keep them anonymous.
Do you think Rob Schremp is ready to be an everyday offensive threat in the NHL?
Scout #1 -- has watched Schremp 100+ games in junior and pro
No. His game lacks too many facets. He isn't fast enough, strong enough or committed enough. I have seen a big improvement this year, but too often his game is predictable. He has great vision and doesn't lack confidence with the puck, but he never forces the defence to back off. He is great on the PP, but once again he looks to pass way too often.
Scout #2 -- has seen him only as an AHLer 50+ times
Not today, but if he continues to work hard and improve his skating, he has a chance. He will need to find a team that can protect him five-on-five. I question his willingness to compete for the puck and rarely does he finish a check. He isn't skilled enough to get away with that. His passing is his best asset. He could easily pass at the NHL level, but there has to be an improvement in other areas of his game.
Scout #3 -- has seen him in junior and pro an estimated 60 times
He was so good in junior that he didn't need the speed or grit; because once he got the puck he would make a play every time. People don't realize how good those top two lines were in London. It wasn't just Robbie who made them go. He had great teammates and I think it hurt many of them, because they were so good as a group that some of them got overrated as individuals. I like that he doesn't lack confidence, but he will need to really work on his footwork, strength and outside shot if he wants to become an NHL player. He's in tough because if he doesn't score he doesn't have the other elements to his game that allows him to contribute.
Scout #4 -- has only seen him in the AHL 30ish times
I think he's really close. I've seen a marked improvement from last season, especially with his defensive play and his consistency. Last year he would be invisible for an entire game, but this year in every game I've seen (6), he made an impact or great play every period. His biggest challenge is that Edmonton has lots of forwards just like him who are small and skilled but not aggressive. He thinks the game very well and isn't afraid to have the puck, but he needs to get quicker so he can make more plays when he has the puck. If he gets a half step faster I think he can become a 20 goal, 60 point player.
Scout #5 -- has seen him play over 100 games between junior and pro
He used to dominate games in junior, but like many offensive guys, he hasn't been able to continue that. He is an incredible passer, and believes he can make any pass. The problem is his game has become one-dimensional. He never drives to the net, rarely goes to the tough areas and almost never wins a one-on-one battle. His lack of top-end speed makes it hard to become a true offensive threat in the NHL, because he lacks the other physical tools that can make up for the lack of speed. He is still young and I've seen a big improvement in his first step, but unless he gets quicker I don't see him becoming anything more than a fringe player. Look at the small forwards who excel in the NHL. They can all skate and that makes up for their lack of size, until that improves I would be surprised to see him make a lasting impression.
Unfortunately not a glowing report, but scouts have been wrong before and Schremp is still only 22. It's clear that he needs to improve his foot speed and his overall strength before he becomes a regular in the NHL.
The other reason I don't see Schremp becoming a scorer in Edmonton is his competition. He has already been passed by Robert Nilsson, Andrew Cogliano and Sam Gagner on the depth chart, and with Jordan Eberle in the organization his window of opportunity gets smaller by the day. Schremp has made strides since being drafted 25th overall in 2004, but I don't see #88 becoming a regular scorer for the Edmonton Oilers. I hope I'm wrong.
Great article. It is nice to read comments from people outside the Oilers organization. I will admit I'm a big Schremp fan and want him to be here, but after reading this I might have overrated him.
I did see a marked improvement in his skating, but just like scout #2 said, he rarely finished a check.
Jason, do you think the Oilers hurt his development by not having him play up here sooner, so he could realize himself that he wasn't quick enough?
December 16 2008, 09:40AM
i hope robbie reads this and takes the neccesary steps to become a consistent nhl'er. But like u said at the end of the article, where does he fit with the oil?
December 16 2008, 09:44AM
He will need to find a team that can protect him five-on-five.
That's a key sentence. With an Oilers team that already has a bunch of players who need sheltered ice-time (Gagner, Cogliano, Nilsson, most of the 4th line options), there really isn't any room to send out more players who can't handle tough competition.
I question his willingness to compete for the puck and rarely does he finish a check.
This is the part of Schremp's game that impressed me most in his first couple of outings - he was throwing hits, and some second effort was there. Of course, it needs to be there consistently if he's going to force his way on to the roster.
Lastly, thanks for doing this Jason - it's great information.
December 16 2008, 09:50AM
Rarely do teams let a player play so he can find out he isn't good enough to be here. That's what the preseason is for, and Schremp did admit after his second camp that he needed to get quicker. His knee injury in March of 2007, basically set him back a season, because he couldn't rehab until August 1st. That didn't allow him any time to improve his skating like he did this past summer. You wonder if he had been in shape at the start of camp last season if he would have gotten a longer look? We will never know, but the emergence of the other young kids has hurt him more than anything in my opinion. There is only so much room on the team for "projects". And by project, I mean guys you are learning as they go, with the hope it will make them better NHLers.
Right now I think Gagner is a project, so is Nilsson and Cogliano to an extent. I don't think there is room for Schremp while they are here.
So to answer your question, I don't think by not playing him in a few regular season games stunted his progress. He knew he had to get quicker, and he never really worked hard on it until this past summer. And look at his progress. I think if he puts that much effort in again this offseason, he could be and NHLer, but I doubt it will be in Edmonton.
You have the right call here Gregor and no one should be surprised that he went back down. He was an injury call up pure and simple. It's not like he won't get another chance this year.
Call me a pessimist but I imagine that he will leave the organization this year and sign with a team that will give him a chance. He his game will ramp up due to ice time and a coach that gives him a chance. He will be a 50-60 point player but every time he plays the Oil he will get a goal and set up two or three more.
I'm totally making this up but it seems to be the luck we have.
December 16 2008, 10:21AM
Yeah...I watched him skate in the games he played and I couldn't help notice the quick little duck waddle strides he takes when he's trying to hurry. It looks pretty ridiculous. He needs to work on his skating.
Great stuff btw Gregor.
December 16 2008, 10:57AM
If I'm not mistaken, Schremp is an RFA at the end of the year so it's not so cut and dried that he'll leave the organization unless - they re-sign him, cut at the end of camp and someone grabs him that way or - a trade finally happens.
That said, I think the scouts have probably pegged his value correctly so we can't necessarily expect a great talent back unless it's a quantity for quality kind of deal.
December 16 2008, 11:13AM
Fill me in, guys: I missed the moment in California when he wiped out Roloson. Whose fault was that collision, and could Robbie have prevented it?
December 16 2008, 11:18AM
Line up tonight....
Garon will start in goal, and Reddox is in for Strudwick on the 4th line.
MacTavish wants to go with Roloson v. Vancouver again tomorrow after the shutout on Saturday, and look for Strudwick to be back in tomorrow as well.

@ The Towel Boy:
re: Sharks game;
Jen Sharpe @ edmontonoilers.com wrote: San Jose hit 39 shots in the first half of the third, but Roloson excelled between the pipes, shaking off a collision with Rob Schremp, a slapshot to the mask, and then a lost stick to maintain the tie game.
GREG BEACHAM @ The Associated Press wrote: Penner scored on a power play late in the second period, and Edmonton went into the third tied 2-2 despite a 31-10 shot deficit. Roloson kept the Oilers in it with a no-look pad save after teammate Rob Schremp barreled into him, knocking away his stick.
I just wanted to know if Robbie screwed up, or if he was pushed, or if Roli was out of position, or what the story was.
I think everyone is over analyzing this.
Shremp got called up due to injury, the player got better Shremp got sent back down. End of story.
Same with Brule
If anything Shremp made a lasting impression on the fans and Oiler brass. I look forward to seeing him again.
Ender; the play you're asking about wasn't a fault thing. Roli was scrambling to get back in net and was kind of going backwards and the guy Schremp was covering was skating towards the net and made a quick move to avoid Roli and Schremp bumped into him. It was a play where Schremp was doing his job and back-checked all the way to the net and couldn't avoid Roli.

Ohhhhh...ok. Yeah. What shakey said.
December 16 2008, 01:37PM
@ The Towel Boy: Thanks for clearing that up, Towel. You're a pillar of strength; I don't care what Wayne said about you. :)
I am a big Schremp fan, but I also know that he has a lot of work to do before he can expect to be a regular 2nd line guy. I think what everyone gets so excited for is to see a guy with vision like Schremp does to have the opportunity to skate with a player with similar vision like Hemsky on the power play. Sure, there would be a lot of opportunities missed with extra passes, but there would also be a ton of highlight reel goals.
Does anyone think Schremp will be recalled prior to the Oilers skills competition to showcase his abilities? I don't mean showcase to coaches/management as they are already aware of his talent (not that it translates to a game situation), but showcase it to the fans at Rexall? Afterall, that event is for the kids and it would be great for the excitement factor.
@ Jason Gregor: Jason, you mean Schremp wasn't sent down because the Oilers are just screwing him over? It's not a demotion orchestrated by MacT to break the kid's spirit and ruin his career? No conspiracy? What do these scouts REALLY know?
December 16 2008, 02:37PM
@ Ender the Dragon:
Wanye's just tee'd off cuz I didn't respond to his advances. Apparently when a guy buys you a beer and a nice steak dinner certain things are expected of you. Who knew?
Well at least one of those scouts know what the heck they're talking about. I've seen him in nearly 100AHL games, a handful of OHL games, and all but 1 of his NHL games. I am not a pro scout, but those that know me know that I can spot talent. I called Vande Velde having a breakout year, and Peckham being more than a bruiser before most had any thoughts of the sort.
At the AHL level Schremp doesn't look to be too gritty. He often times doesn't openly look to hit guys. He was however doing just that prior to his call-up and in his first 3 games in the NHL.
So the guy wasn't playing a style that could see him get injured while he's in a league that he feels that he shouldn't be in? Big deal. Nilsson and Gagner haven't been doing that despite making a boatload of cash at the NHL level.
Schremp could still use more speed and it has been improving, he could also use a more shot oriented mentality, but some of those scouts are clueless.
As for not playing him on the 4th line, if you're fine with a 4th line always having to be filled full of goons, sure. However a Schremp-Pouliot-Cole 3rd/4th line would've been pretty sweet in my mind.
December 16 2008, 02:49PM
Hey Jason, great read it's awesome to see it from some other qualified prospectives; especialy since , like you, most Shremp lovers have never seen him play a lot of hockey.
The intersting thing that popped into my mind while reading this was why do lululemon pants make butts look so good... Oh and the other point was people believe if the Oil don't give him a fulltime NHL job we should trade. But like oilerdago maentioned what can we can we really expect in return for Shremp?
I wonder if he will go the Alexander Daigle route...
My first impression in watching Shremp was wow does he want it. He was charlie hustle those 1st 2 games, by the 3rd and 4th games I did not see that same hustle, those same short shifts but what I did see was this is a guy that can play in the NHL.
But I think his situation is similar to that of Brule's. Brule could play in the NHL right now with his speed and physical play, but he was drafted as a scorer so why not try and develope that. I think Shremp could play right now with his puck savy and passing, but he needs to work on foot speed and overall skating. You do not need to be a scout to see that. And if you need to work on skating, or scoring the place to develope that is not the NHL but in the minors.
If the Oilers were not (1)outside of the playoff picture, (2)full of pint size players and (3) have a short roster due to the poplular 3 goalie system then maybe there is a chance to not need the size on the 4th line but until 2 of those 3 come true Schremp will be in tough to crack the lineup.

You are totally contredicting yourself there Bryan. By not playing a style that will get him in the NHL for fear of injury likely won't get him IN THE NHL!! Think about that statement for a second.
Secondly you think he would be OK in show as 4th line guy, but you also mention he is playing in a league he doesn't think he should be, so do you think playing 4-12 minutes a night will help that attitude.
Congrats on not being an NHL scout but having a good eye for talent. I mean anyone who see's him do the ninja pancake the puck shootout moves, or make motha effing sick passes can spot his talent, but that doen't make him a complete enough player... yet... to be a full time NHLer. But I am sure you were just a knee injury away from being in the show yourself and you are twice the coach MacT will ever be.
And I am on baggedmilks fire mact wood panelled, booze raged bandwagon.

Pretty sure Vande Velde was on fire after being put in a scoring role to end the season before - 80% or somesuch of his points in the final two weeks of the season.

Jason, post up Nilsson and Gagner's "scouting reports" too to make it fair when it comes to seeing flaws, inconsistency and showing barely ANY flashes of their skill set this year at all.
who cares if Nilsson can skate better? it hasnt paid off for him worth crap this year. who cares if Gagner's got the "pedigree"?
what makes most sense is that the Oilers DO NOT have the veteran players to ween these inconsistent turds along, whether theyre Schremp, Nilsson or Gagner. most of their vets outside of Hemsky arent even close to 1st line players on any other team in this league. how do you expect a team to grow properly when its secondary scoring is highly dependent on kids with "confidence issues" (aka they are wuss bags who dont have the guts to make their own luck) or Erik Cole and others just wasting money instead of being leads ON THE ICE.
December 16 2008, 05:45PM
I'm sure you might have a decent eye for talent, but you lose all of your credibility when you shoot down scouts and say they are clueless because they see him differently than you. I used five scouts as a decent pool or opinions and all are from different organizations.
To say they are clueless and you are the only one who knows is pointless. Because only time will tell if either side is correct, but right now it seems the majority feel he has to improve before being an NHL regular.
Death Metal,
You bring up a good point, but it is hard to spend that much time with different scouts. It is a good idea for down the road, but with Schremp being sent down he was the main story and an angle that most wanted to hear. That is why I went to these guys...

Don't pretend like you've never been the one buying the beer. You knew, didn't you? ;)
Jason, scouts aren't the end-all, be-all. Look at Ryan O'Marra as an example. I like that you got a diverse opinion from different scouts. But who's to know if they are good scouts or just "scouts"?
I am also not the end-all, be-all, but I've watched more of him in the AHL than any of them have. I see some of their concerns, however did they comment on his game at the NHL level? How he was grittier? Hitting? Backchecking like a mother?
It is obvious in Springfield that he isn't looking to mix it up on most nights, but that would be like Hemsky getting crap for not hitting every night.
He is improving in every area of his game and will be a full time NHLer to start next year. The $1 million question is where? Or perhaps he tells the Oilers that they can wait for him now and go off to Europe?
December 16 2008, 10:35PM
Yeah, and Sam Gagner is good enough to be a regular threat in the NHL. Anybody watch the Blackhawks game and notice anything Sam Gagner did right? If you remove the Hemsky's, Cogliano's, Nilsson's, and Visnovsky's, this team is mighty sad and wouldn't even get out of their own zone.
@ Bryan: Scouts are objective observers. They aren't always right, obviously, but they grade, rate and project players based on what they see without this "Cheer for Schrempy" rah-rah that seems to permeate your assessments of him.
You are as far from an objective observer -- and a reliable measure of Schremp's abilities -- as anybody can possibly be. Frame it however you want, that's how it shakes down to me.
After watching a pathetic Oilers team for the better part of this season, with only one real scorer, and watching this kid play his goddam heart out. I now question macT. What has Gagner shown this season? He's shown he floats, he's shown he gives away the puck, and he's shown he cannot create. This kid was dynamic end of last season, but this year he, like the team, is a disaster. Cogs, nils....they look good most nights (cog.s, most every shift is at it)
December 17 2008, 12:56PM
"3 points in 4 games is good but not good enough"HUH. Scouts have something bad to say about any NHL player it's what they do BTW.
Bottom line he should not be lambasted and have five or six scouts say crap about him on your blog just so you can spew your "Schremp is not a NHLER" crap that you have been saying for three years. Just to prove there is truth to what you are saying.
Everybody knows why he got sent down. But are you and Brownlee going to sit there and tell me there are no NHL teams that he could be playing on right now even last year. Come on who are you kidding.
His skating is easy to pick apart. Its unconventional but he is improved and makes him shifty on the cycle which is how he gets his points. He is a playmaker thats why you do not see him shoot the puck. He can stick handle in a phone booth with sick hand eye. Thats why the puck seems to follow him on the ice. Go ahead and ignore all that because he has a wide stance when he is skating. Oh i forgot he is very good on the PP.
i'm not even a "scrempnatics" or whatever word you want to call fans who see his upside. Why try to dis atleast half or more Oiler fans who have this view is beyond me.

"I bought these shoes because I have been looking for a LONG time for a replacement for standard strappy black dress shoes. These I decided to get because I had a coupon and some rewards to use. The ankle strap is cute, but the heel kind of sits funny in the back. The platform is a good height and the bottoms of the shoes are pink, which give them a feminine touch. HOWEVER, if I had to pay full price for them, I wouldn't have gotten them."

The Ultra Ultimate Personality Test
Their result for The Ultra Ultimate Personality Test ...
The Thinker
You scored 19 Extroversion, 70 Intuition, 28 Emotional, and 61 Spontaneity!
Private, intellectual, impersonal, analytical and reflective, the INTP appears to value ideas, principles and abstract thinking above all else. This logical type seeks to understand and explain the universe--not to control it! Higher education often holds a particular appeal to this type who tends to acquire degrees and amass knowledge over the entire course of life. Abstract or theoretical subjects are usually the INTP's cup of tea, and academic or research careers may seem attractive to this type. From science and math to economics and philosophy: just name the discipline, and you'll find INTPs perched on the loftiest rungs of theory and analysis. In whatever field they choose, INTPs take on the role of visionary, scientist or architect, and they usually prefer to make their contributions in relative solitude. The mundane details of life may be the INTP's undoing, since this type lives in a world guided by intuitive thinking. Often perceived to be arrogant and aloof, the quiet and sometimes reclusive INTP may have to struggle in the personal realm, as well, for feelings are not this type's natural forte.
INTPs live rich worlds inside their minds, which are full of imagination and excitement. Consequently, they sometimes find the external world pales in comparison. This may result in a lack of motivation to form and maintain relationships. INTPs are not likely to have a very large circle of significant relationships in their lives. They're much more likely to have a few very close relationships, which they hold in great esteem and with great affection. Since the INTP's primary focus and attention is turned inwards, aimed towards seeking clarity from abstract ideas, they are not naturally tuned into others' emotional feelings and needs. They tend to be difficult to get to know well, and hold back parts of themselves until the other person has proven themselves "worthy" of hearing the INTP's thoughts. Holding Knowledge and Brain Power above all else in importance, the INTP will choose to be around people who they consider to be intelligent. Once the INTP has committed themself to a relationship, they tend to be very faithful and loyal, and form affectionate attachments which are pure and straight-forward. The INTP has no interest or understanding of game-playing with regards to relationships. However, if something happens which the INTP considers irreconciliable, they will leave the relationship and not look back.
They feel love and affection for those close to them which is almost childlike in its purity
Generally laid-back and easy-going, willing to defer to their mates
Approach things which interest them very enthusiastically
Richly imaginative and creative
Do not feel personally threatened by conflict or criticism
Usually are not demanding, with simple daily needs
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 19% on Extroversion, higher than 15% of your peers.
They scored 70% on Intuition, higher than 50% of your peers.
They scored 28% on Emotional, higher than 8% of your peers.
They scored 61% on Spontaneity, higher than 92% of your peers.

Mark Vaile Joins Virgin Blue Holdings Limited Board22/09/2008
Virgin Blue Holdings Limited today announced the appointment of Mr Mark Vaile as a non-executive independent director of the company, effective from 22 September 2008.
The Chairman of Virgin Blue, Mr Neil Chatfield said Mr Vaile would add a new dimension of experience to the Board of the airline group.
Mr Vaile joins the Virgin Blue Board after a distinguished career as a Federal Parliamentarian during which he served in positions including Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Transport and Regional Development and Minister for Trade.
He was also instrumental in securing or initiating a range of free trade agreements between Australia and the United States, Singapore, Thailand, China, Malaysia and the ASEAN countries.
"Mark's appointment is both timely and appropriate for Virgin Blue as we embark upon significant expansion, including the addition of new regional routes and flights and long haul international operations through our international airline V Australia," Mr Godfrey said. "We welcome the valuable perspective Mark will bring and look forward to welcoming him to the team," he said.
Ministerial Portfolios held by Mr Vaile during his five terms in Federal Parliament include Minister for Transport and Regional Development; Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry; Minister for Trade; and Minister for Transport and Regional Services.
Mr Vaile also served as Deputy Prime Minister from July 2005 through to December 2007.

Virgin Blue was the first airline in the world to launch a Government-certified carbon offset program, where Guests can offset the carbon emissions from their flights. Virgin Blue Group has also announced plans to launch Australia's newest international airline, V Australia, set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from late 2008, subject to regulatory approvals.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Safety says it has spent more than $300,000 on manpower and other expenses investigating an explosion that killed a couple and decimated their neighborhood on the southeast side.
Marion County spokesman A.J. Deer said Thursday there is nothing new to report on the investigation into the cause of the Nov. 10 blast that killed Jennifer and John Longworth. Authorities previously have said they believe the explosion was intentional and caused by natural gas. No other details have been released.
The release Thursday by the public safety department estimates that police officers, fire fighters and personnel from homeland security and animal care and control have worked 7,742 hours since the explosion.
Public Safety Director Troy Riggs says costs incurred by other city departments are not included.

Skip to comments.Santorum and Gingrich Scramble for the Conservative Vote
Posted on 01/15/2012 11:59:29 AM PST by Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
WASHINGTON Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich both pleaded with conservatives on Sunday to unite behind their candidacies in a last-ditch effort to stop Mitt Romneys march to the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Santorum said the Republican contest needed to quickly narrow to a two-person race between Mr. Romney and someone else, but he declined to explicitly call on the other candidates to drop out.
Im not going to tell anybody to get in or out of a race; I think thats their decision to make, Mr. Santorum said on Fox News Sunday. But he added, We need to get this eventually down to a conservative alternative to Mitt Romney.
Mr. Santorum said the vote of support for his candidacy by Christian conservative leaders on Saturday in Texas should persuade Republicans in South Carolina that he deserves to be that alternative.
(Excerpt) Read more at thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com ...
Both Gingrich and Santorum are fine Conservatives and I would be happy with either of them however Gingrich presently has a better chance of knocking out the liberal 0bama Junior Romney.
Response: This may be true. I can certainly see Romney and his crowd eliminating conservatives. If one looks at what Romney DOES ignoring what he says, he is very liberal.
There is one guy running that wants to knock off that socialist **** and allow "Right to work"
There is on guy that wants to reign in the FED and the EPA.
Rick Perry should endorse Newt and go back to Texas or he will help push Mitt over the top. He has already said that Newt was a brillant person. Time to give it up, Rick, your stances crushed you in the early debates which will not carry you in the general. Just keep dividing the votes which explains Romney and Rove's smiles. Gosh, these egos-from the candidates to the newspaper people, to the insiders, to the church groups. Get someone in there to change the system before it's too late. We need a person who knows what it takes to make changes and who will investigate the treasury.
Let me fix that for you.
If Santorum and Newt are out, you have Romney and Obama
Its *THAT* simple.
The 2010 Tea Party victory was a reaction against "The Divine One" a revulsion if you please. It may not have been due to an acceptance of "the message."
People just dont get it.
What stances killed him?
Your calculus is depressing but accurate.
Perry will go back to Texas and serve again or he will retire having served well.
He won't hang his head, he has done America proud and has been true to himself.
Perhaps 2010 was both an Obama backlash and a conservative resurgence—I would like to think so and see more of it this November.
But as far as proving the original assumption we certainly won't if we nominate Mitt and that's a for sure.
Well, you've proved my original post's aside.
Well this is far from an ideal situation, but I have the impression that Santorum is honest.
If he starts wearing a bow tie with his sweater vest, I'll vote for him.
A beautiful summary of an ugly picture.
Thanks for posting that. Conservatives -must- understand those facts, or we are back to pre-Goldwater days for at least as long.
I agree.
Some of the stuff being dredged up about Santorum is highly suspect too.
1. trying to take him down because he voted for things that were riders on comprehensive bills, as if he only voted for the problematic issue standing alone
2. trying to take him down with sites clearly coming from a leftist vent, when you look they've trashed Republicans to the almost total exclusion of Democrats (senate and governors)
That's sad but the way things are shaping up.Gingrich blew it by his no show. Neither he nor Santorum have the GOP mega bucks like a hole Romney.And Paul is the spoiler the Obama machine was hoping for.
Once upon a debate
LOL that is funny
Oh stop with this BS already. Stop lying. How is Santorum going to make sure that Romney gets the nomination? How?
He seems to want to handle it by taking benefits away from the already retired
You mean hes in favor of Social Security reform? Earned my vote!
This may win your vote, but this will lose the election to Obama for sure.
Well said. Add Paul the spoiler that has boots on the ground like Obama and a GOP funding of a used car salesman flip flop Romney and we have one huge mess that the REAL ENEMIES: the MSM,the Obama Machine progressives are LOLing at..
A M E N! but....either one would do better with Martinez as VP,Palin as energy sec.,and each other serving in the others cabinets.
Last I checked, my generation is taking it in the shorts right now.
But hey, who cares? Let's put the debt up to 150 percent of GDP. Sky's the limit.
Show us, South Carolina; that you are better, smarter than this!
The big question is who will come in third place.
It is a BS argument used on here frequently.Remember that supposedly Bachmann was in the tank for Romney.Who ever is not Palin or Gingrich is in the tank for Romney...it is a silly childish argument that says my _________ candidate or no one.(They may as well write in Romney/Obama's names.)
As for his failed marriages; unless, you can walk in his shoes; no reason to go there. Our Country is too desperate for Leadership; for this.
We know Newt can lead; and that he can debate; and hold his own with world Leadership. We know his vision for America.
Good Grief; Reagan was not perfect; nor a saint; nor Bush, for that matter; why does any Repub imagine we must have a Saint? Certainly, NONE exists per running for 'this' job. Nor, should we want one, for that matter.
Paul.Obama/Soros fake tea party boots on the ground will be lucky to come in third or fourth.
Thirty percent of people collecting benefits are well below retirement age. I would support anyone eliminating their 'benefits' altogether. Santorum has the courage to tell the truth while the other candidates via political expediency remain part of the problem.
I ask this respectfully, though it will come off as hostile:
Does it bother you at all that the net result of your vote on Saturday will likely be to hand Romney every single delegate in SC, and effectively end the entire primary process three weeks into January?
Because I can tell you: I run the Newt ping list and started it way back when. If the polls in my state read as they do in SC, but with Santorum and Romney in a two-man race instead of Gingrich and Romney, I would be voting for Rick Santorum to stop Romney. I think most Newt backers would, since stopping Romney seems to be the one unifying issue for all of us.
Why is it Santrorum voters are perfectly content to voting for the guy who is way behind Romney instead of strategically voting for the guy who is statistically tied with Romney? I asked this same question in 2008, when Huckabee tried riding a strong Iowa finish through an entire national primary process.
Are you really going to vote for Rick Santorum on Saturday if the polls show that Gingrich has the only real chance of denying Romney every single SC delegate? Are you really prepared to turn SC effectively blue in the GOP Primaries, and make it once again the state that hands a RINO nomination, just cause, doggone it, you just like Rick Santorum better?
I respectfully ask that you reconsider. There is no "strong finish" in SC. Winner takes ALL; second place is MEANINGLESS.
You also have to consider that aside from the process being over if Romney wins SC, a lot of us are not going to forgive Rick Santorum and his supporters and come rallying behind him if he continues being 2012's Mike Huckabee. Giving Romney SC and effectively the nomination is not something people like myself are going to reward.
Post this link to all who call Santorum a RINO
livius !!
Three cheers for bringing up Santorum's HORRIBLE social security plan.
This is a disaster. Once people learn about it he will be unelectable.
Trust me on this, as Rush says.
The cane and walker crowd may hobble to the polls but they will get there and vote against him.
I need to hear more about this. It isn't out there enough.
I wish Perry would bring it up. He and Paul Ryan have a sensible, workable plan that wouldn't punish the elderly.
I see a lot of young people on here absolutely livid about people on social security. My dearest hope for them is that their elderly parents move in with them.
My vow is not to reply to stupidity today.
So I'm not bother to reply to you.
Speaking of getting out, I'm wondering about Ron Paul.
I don't wish him ill, but he's old and he looks horrible.
He's suddenly gone back to Texas and no one knows why.
If he should drop out for health reasons, I wonder who would get his votes. He has a lot of them right now.
"Santorum and Gingrich Scramble for the Conservative Vote"
And neither have the organization nor the resources to see it through. It's a two horse race between mitt romney and Ron Paul. It'll be interesting to see how long they each stay in and continue to split the traditional conservative vote.
We disagree but that's politics and politics is combat confusion in our state and the only accurate polls here are exit polls—and even those can't be trusted every time.
Like I said, right or wrong....this will become a BIG issue and a losing one for Santorum if he wins the primary. He may win votes on this against Romney but surely will lose to Obama.
So; he figured out the 'global warming' scam - and better late than never.. .Have you heard Perry on this?*******
Yeah, no elected official in America has ridiculed AGW more than Rick Perry. Going back to at least 2008 he's referred to it in speeches as nothing more than hype, hot air and a big phony mess. He also accused Gore's mouth of being the primary source of global warming 4 years ago for his constant preaching on the issue.
Perry is far and away the most solid of any candidate on this issue. He takes a sledgehammer to the issue.
Or what?
People who know something about the subject and who are capable of a reasonable discussion have varying views about the Road.
Nothing would ever be built without eminent domain. It doesn't take that much land and the owners are well compensated. The TTH was a bright idea and showed Rick Perry's thinking outside the box as they say.
Perry took chances when he believed in something. He's taken chances with a couple of stances in this race, as when he wouldn't support corn gasoline in Iowa just to get votes. Santorum did.
He knows he's taken an unpopular stance on the troops also, but it's what he believes. He doesn't trust Iran and he doesn't think our troops should have given years of their lives only to be pulled out as a political ploy.
"We also tend to aggravate the problem by driving off people who could be and should be potential political allies. Not brothers, not comrades, but allies. I am speaking here of libertarians."
You're 100% right. But your call for sanity is going to fall on deaf ears. And the sad irony is that the folks who will end up marginalized as a result will not be the libertarians but the traditional conservatives.
Santorum should endorse Rick Perry and go back to PA.
Oh, wait, they kicked him out. Oh, well.
Santorum is dividing the conservative vote and he doesn't have a chance. Let it be between two decent candidates—Gingrich and Perry and let's see what happens.
