Posted on 03/29/2010 3:35:42 AM PDT by kronos77
MOSCOW Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow's subway system as it was jam-packed with rush-hour passengers Monday, killing at least 37 people and wounding 102, officials said.
The head of Russia's main security agency said preliminary investigation places the blame on rebels from the restive Caucasus region that includes Chechnya, where separatists have fought Russian forces since the mid-1990s.
The first explosion took place just before 8 a.m. at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow. The station is underneath the building that houses the main offices of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, the KGB's main successor agency.
A second explosion hit the Park Kultury station about 45 minutes later.
Emergency Minister Sergei Shoigu said the toll was 37 killed and 102 injured, but he did not give a breakdown of casualties at each station, according to Russian news agencies.
"I heard a bang, turned my head and smoke was everywhere. People ran for the exits screaming," said 24-year-old Alexander Vakulov, who said he was on a train on the platform opposite the targeted train at Park Kultury.
"I saw a dead person for the first time in my life," said 19-year-old Valentin Popov, who had just arrived at the station from the opposite direction.
In a televised meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev, Federal Security Service head Alexander Bortnikov said body fragments of the two bombers pointed to a Caucasus connection. He did not elaborate.

I just saw this on Drudge. It said they were Chechen rebels.
Religion of peace is at it again!
Hitting Lubyanka station is very symbolic. It shows the Chechens are not afraid of the FSB anymore and it's a personal slap at Putin, who pretty much still runs things in Russia, because of his history as a former KGB officer.
The retaliation is going to be messy.
Great win for 0bama today!
Not one mention of the "religion of piece" despite the fact that rebels from Chechnya claim responsibility. There is going to be hell to pay for this.
I'm guessing about 98% of Americans are oblivious to that fact and would not recognize the name "Beslan". Sad.
Russian policy on Muslims: Bury them or deport them. Deportation is now down to an unlikely chance.
The sooner that the Russians realize that they can't co-exist with the Muslims then the better off they will be. They can start by vetoing the resolution against Israel concerning Jerusalem right after they obliterate whoever was responsible for the subway bombing. It a symbolism sort of thing, ya know?
Bush's fault that the Amish are striking out again.
If they were Muslim, look out! I have a grudging respect for Putin (who is really running the show) because he genuinely does not give a shit about world opinion.
I had high hopes Steppenwolf would wipe Cheshnia off the map after the school massacre, but nothing happened then.
By Konstantin Preobrazhensky
Americans generally believe that Russia is afraid of Islamic terrorism as much as the U.S.A. They are reminded of the war in Chechnya, the hostage crisis at the Beslan School in 2004 and at the Moscow Theater in 2002, and of the apartment house blasts in Moscow in 1999, where over 200 people were killed. It is clear that Russians are also targets of terrorism today.
But in all these events, the participation of the FSB, Federal Security Service, inheritor to the KGB, is also clear. Their involvement in the Moscow blasts has been proven by lawyer Mikhail Trepashkin, a former FSB Colonel. For this he was illegally imprisoned, and is now suffering torture and deprivation of medical assistance, from which he is not likely to survive.
A key distinction between Russian and American attitudes towards Islamic terrorism is that while for America terrorism is largely seen as an exterior menace, Russia uses terrorism as an object as a tool of the state for manipulation in and outside the home country. Islamic terrorism is only part of the world of terrorism. Long before Islamic terrorism became a global threat, the KGB had used terrorism to facilitate the victory of world Communism.
This leads to the logical connection between Russian and Islamic terrorism. The late Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned in London in November, 2006, told me that his former FSB colleagues had trained famous Al-Qaeda terrorists Ayman Al-Zawahiri and Juma Namangoniy during the 1980s and 1990s. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, one of the world's most wanted terrorists, has been responsible for the murder of U.S. nationals outside the United States. Before his death, Juma Namangoniy (Jumabai Hojiyev), a native of Soviet Uzbekistan, was a right-hand man of Osama bin Laden in charge of the Taliban's northern front in Afghanistan.
In 1996, Alexander Litvinenko was responsible for securing the secrecy of Al-Zawahiri's arrival in Russia, who was trained by FSB instructors in Dagestan, Northern Caucasus, in 1996-1997.
At that time, Litvinenko was the Head of the Subdivision for Internationally Wanted Terrorists of the First Department of the Operative-Inquiry Directorate of the FSB Anti-Terrorist Department. He was ordered to undertake the delicate mission of securing Al-Zawahiri from unintentional disclosure by the Russian police. Though Al-Zawahiri had been brought to Russia by the FSB using a false passport, it was still possible for the police to learn about his arrival and report to Moscow for verification. Such a process could disclose Al-Zawahiri as an FSB collaborator.
In order to prevent this, Litvinenko visited a group of the highly placed police officers to notify them in advance. "If you get information about some suspicious Arabs arriving in the Caucasus, please report it to me before informing your leadership", he told them.
Juma Namangoniy was once a student of the Saboteur Training Center of the First Chief Directorate of the KGB in 1989-91. The school was notorious for the international terrorists who matriculated from it. It now belongs to the FSB, and since only KGB staff officers were allowed to study there, Juma Namangoniy's presence clearly suggests that he was much more than a civil collaborator.
Mohammed Atta, the pilot of the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, had met with a senior Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague, Czech Republic, five months before the attack. But Iraqi intelligence was just a client of Russia's intelligence service. It brings a new understanding to the fact that President Putin was the first foreign President to call President Bush on 9/11. One may conjecture that he knew in advance what was to happen.
Muslim Name and Communist Heart
Tartars have always been patriotic to Russia. Their independent kingdom was conquered by Russia in the 16th century, but their gentry were allowed to join the Russian upper class and enjoy all its privileges. Even today, many Russian families of noble origin have Tartar origins. Russia has a half-millennium of experience in turning conquered Muslim nations into obedient citizens by bribing their elite.
There are many Soviet Muslims, therefore, who seem to face no conflict of spirit. One can be a Muslim in name only, whose heart belongs to Communism. There have been a lot of such people among Russian Muslims, especially among the Tartars. The Soviet Union has typically preferred to appoint them as ambassadors to Muslim countries. Their Muslim names give them a pass to the local society, but their Communist hearts order them to serve world Communism and not the world of Islam.
In the Soviet period, the highest leadership of the Muslim republics like Uzbekistan were unofficially allowed to practice Islam under the guise of folk rites, even though their Russian colleagues were severely reprimanded for participating in such Christian "rites" as Christmas or Easter. Unlike today, Soviet cartoonists were able to mock Islam as they mocked all other religions and it didn't bring any special reaction.
Muslims of the Uzbek and other Central Asian republics' elite joined the KGB intelligence in order to spy on fellow Muslim countries. In the KGB, I have met a lot of such quasi-Muslim officers.
Russia Grows Muslim
Putin continues the traditional Russian policy of giving privileges to the Muslim elite. Today's Russian Minister of Healthcare, Mikhail Zurabov, is a Chechen. His political agenda includes the total destruction of the Russian healthcare system, looking like revenge for the war in Chechnya. Putin shows no concern over that.
Strategically Russia is surrendering to the Muslim world. The Russian population is declining rapidly, being undermined by 70 years of Communist experiment and the cold indifference of post-communist rulers. Annually, Russia is losing 900 thousand people who are being replaced by Muslims from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Islam is now the second-largest religion in Russia, where it may total up to 28 million adherents. Because of this, Russia was able to join the Organization of the Islamic Conference in 2003.
Russia's great qualitative population change represents both a departure from the past and a strengthening link with it. The synergies between the history of Russia's national policies of terrorism and the radical Islamic terrorism that it is spreading around the world are natural partners that may severely impact on America's own future.
Konstantin Preobrazhensky, a former Lt. Colonel in the KGB who defected to the United States in 1993, is an intelligence expert and specialist on Japan, about which he has written six books. His newest book Russian-American, A New KGB Asset will be published in late 2007. This article was first published by Gerard Group International, Intel Analyses, 31 August 2007.
There's a reason for that. The same "neo-conservative" cheerleaders who have been the most ardent supporters of the so-called War on Terror have had a strong interest in the Russia-Chechnya conflict . . . but on the side of the Chechens.
Do some online research on an organization called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya, and you'll find a whole bunch of interesting names associated with it.
They changed their name to the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus shortly after the Beslan massacre -- probably because people were starting to ask a lot of questions about what their agenda really is.
"War on Terror," my @ss.
Mr Litvinenko is thought to have been close to journalist Anna Politkovskaya, another opponent of the Kremlin who was shot dead last month, and said recently he was investigating her murder. It was after being handed documents apparently relating to the case that he was taken ill more than two weeks ago.
But he is perhaps best known for a book in which he alleges that agents co-ordinated the 1999 apartment block bombings in Russia that killed more than 300 people. He now appears to have fallen victim to the kind of plots which he wrote about.
Mr Litvinenko, 43, first became a security agent under the Soviet-era KGB, rising to the rank of lieutenant-colonel in its later incarnations.
He is reported to have fallen out with Vladimir Putin, then head of the security service, in the late 1990s, after failing in attempts to crack down on corruption within the organisation. In 1998, he first came to prominence by exposing an alleged plot to assassinate the then powerful tycoon Boris Berezovsky, who himself now lives in self-imposed exile in the UK. He was subsequently arrested on charges of abusing his office and spent nine months in a remand centre before being acquitted.
In 1999 he wrote Blowing up Russia: Terror from Within, in which he accused the current Russian security service, the FSB, of carrying out several apartment house bombings in 1999 that killed more than 300 people. The attacks, which Moscow blamed on Chechen rebels, helped swing public opinion behind Russia's second war in the breakaway republic.
Petrol bombs
Complaining of persecution, in 2000 Mr Litvinenko fled to the UK where he sought, and was granted, asylum. But after settling in an unnamed London suburb, the former spy continued to behave as if on the run, constantly changing his contact details. The Times newspaper reported that over the summer someone tried to push a pram loaded with petrol bombs at his front door. Appearing alongside high-profile opponents of President Putin, he has continued to make allegations about his former bosses. Perhaps most notably, he alleged that al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was trained by the FSB in Dagestan in the years before 9/11.

Last Living Beslan School Attacker Sentenced to Life in Prison
May 28, 2006
VLADIKAVKAZ, Russia AP
A southern Russian court on Friday sentenced the sole surviving Beslan school attacker to life in prison, capping a yearlong trial that survivors and victims' relatives say has left the most essential questions about the tragedy unanswered.
They demand to know just who bore the most responsibility: Nur-Pashi Kulayev and his 31 fellow militants, or the officials whose negligence or even alleged complicity allowed them to seize hundreds of children and parents on the first day of school in September 2004.
Countrywatch: Russia
"I did not go to court to become convinced of Kulayev's guilt, but to reconstruct all the circumstances of the terrorist attack and find the truth," said Aneta Gadiyeva, whose daughter was killed. "But I did not learn anything new and did not get any answers." ..."
The Russians are masters at the complex game of chess. Most of us, unfortunately, suck at simple checkers.
Putin's Poison?
by Peter Brookes, November 27, 2006
The death of former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, last week from radioactive Polonium-210 poisoning is the latest in a series of politically motivated attacks on the outspoken opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Dear President Medvedev
By TATYANA MOROZOV and ALYONA MOROZOV
"In three coordinated bombings of apartment buildings in Moscow and Volgodonsk in September 1999, 292 people were murdered, including our mother Lyubov Morozova. We are writing this open letter to call on you, Dmitry Anatolyevich, to order an independent, open and full investigation of these attacks."
Russian Terror Victims Ask for Truth
In 1999, a series of apartment bombings shook Russia and propelled the country headlong into the Second Chechen War. Nearly nine years after the attacks, which claimed 292 lives, many Russians remain unconvinced by the official version of events, which holds that Chechen separatists were responsible.
Two sisters, who lost their mother in the attack, have written an open letter to President Dmitri Medvedev, urging him to mount a fully open, independent investigation. The sisters, Tatyana and Alyona Morozov, currently reside in Missouri. Their appeal (below) was published in the Wall Street Journal newspaper on May 30th.
Dear President Medvedev
In three coordinated bombings of apartment buildings in Moscow and Volgodonsk in September 1999, 292 people were murdered, including our mother Lyubov Morozova. We are writing this open letter to call on you, Dmitry Anatolyevich, to order an independent, open and full investigation of these attacks.
Although these crimes were blamed on Chechen terrorists and used to justify the resumption of a full-scale war against Chechnya later that month, there are numerous indications that Russian security services may have been involved. There is also clear evidence of a cover-up by the authorities. We do not consider this case solved.
Let us remind you of some of the facts:
* On September 23, 1999, police arrested three Federal Security Service (FSB) agents who had planted a detonator and RDX the same explosive used in the earlier bombings in the basement of a residential building in the city of Ryazan. The FSB explained the agents activities as a training exercise, claiming the sacks of explosives actually contained only sugar. The investigation was dropped and all evidence classified top secret.
* At about the same time, a Russian soldier discovered RDX in sacks labeled as sugar at his army base near Ryazan. The incident was never investigated and the evidence classified.
* On September 13, 1999, the Speaker of the Duma, Gennady Seleznev, announced that an apartment house in Volgodonsk had been blown up three days before the attack actually occurred.
* Mark Blumenfeld, the property manager of our house on Guryanova Street in Moscow that was blown up, told our lawyer and several journalists that FSB agents had talked him into changing his testimony. The agents showed him a photo of Achemez Gochiyayev, a Chechen he had never seen before, and under pressure he identified him as the man who had rented storage space in the basement.
* The composite sketch based on Mr. Blumenfelds initial description of what the real suspect looked like disappeared from the police file and was replaced with the photograph of Mr. Gochiyaev. Meanwhile, our attorney Mikhail Trepashkin, himself a former KGB agent, told reporters that he had recognized FSB agent Vladimir Romanovich from the police sketch. Romanovich was subsequently killed in Cyprus in a hit and run incident that was never solved.
* In November 2003, on the eve of the trial of two Chechens later convicted for transporting the explosives used in the Moscow bombings, Mr. Trepashkin was arrested after a gun had been planted in his car. This prevented him from submitting Mr. Blumenfelds statement to court that the FSB agents had pressured him to give false evidence. The trial of the two Chechens was not convincing to us or the world as it was held behind closed doors and human rights groups noted numerous violations of due process. Mr. Blumenfelds statement and the replacement of the police sketch with the photo of Mr. Gochiyayev was never reviewed by a Russian court.
* Four people investigating the FSBs possible involvement in the bombings were assassinated. Duma Deputy Sergei Yushenkov was shot dead in Moscow in April 2003 and his colleague Yuri Schekochihin died of apparent poisoning three months later. Journalist Anna Politkovskaya was gunned down in October 2006 in her Moscow apartment block and a month later, former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko died of poisoning in London.
Many Russians have come to the conclusion that the bombings may have been the work of Russian security services. As for our family, our initial trust in the official version of a Chechen trail is long gone. We have come to believe that our mother and neighbors were sacrificed for a political end: To justify the war in Chechnya and help Vladimir Putin become president the following year. Only an objective investigation could make us change this view.
Mr. President, we are writing this open letter because we would like to believe that your ascent to the presidency will end this dark period in Russian history. You were not involved.
We realize that you owe the previous regime a debt of loyalty and gratitude. But the powers of the state were entrusted to you not to protect possible murderers. You are now in control of Russia and your position imposes a higher responsibility. Before history, the people and the memory of innocent victims, you have an obligation to find and tell the truth about these crimes.

Blowing up Russia: The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB Terror
by Alexander Litvinenko, Yuri Felshtinsky, Geoffrey Andrews and Co (Translator)
Synopsis: Blowing Up Russia contains the allegations of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko against his former spymasters in Moscow which led to his being murdered in London in November 2006. In the book he and historian Yuri Felshtinsky detail how since 1999 the Russian secret service has been hatching a plot to return to the terror that was the hallmark of the KGB. Vividly written and based on Litvinenko's 20 years of insider knowledge of Russian spy campaigns, Blowing Up Russia describes how the successor of the KGB fabricated terrorist attacks and launched a war. Writing about Litvinenko, the surviving co-author recounts how the banning of the book in Russia led to three earlier deaths.
Have it ever occurred to you that maybe most people just doesn't care for you hijacking every single threads about the Russians with SPAM?
Just Compile it all into one post of nothing but link and short discription of each.
Intentionally so. Now the American media can shape the issue the way they want to.
We should have TSA for trains too.
Yet, their crazy leaders continue to have dealings with the Muslim alliance and help Iran to build nuclear weapons. One day, we will wake to read about Moscow being in ash under a Mushroom (Muslim) Cloud.
Has it ever occurred to you that most people have their heads up their friggin butts when it comes to the evil that is STILL Russia? That, unlike us, they are very much capable of staging terror attacks, or at least being complicit in them, in order to "justify" crushing their opponents? That they are NOT our friends. That they are building up ALL of our enemies, including the Islamic terror nation of Iran? When it comes to KGB Putin and company just about anything is possible. One would have to be a complete fool to immediately trust them on anything.

Oppose AHAVA BOYCOTT - Tell Nordstorm to Continue Selling Beauty Products from the Holy Land
The radical group CODEPINK: Women for Peace (sic) has targeted Nordstrom, and is asking people to send e-mails calling for Nordstrom to boycott Ahava products.
You can e-mail the same people at Nordstrom saying how disappointed you would be if they listened to these radical "Women for Hate".
These are the people they are e-mailing:
Linda Peffer Divisional Vice President, Social Responsibility
Tara Darrow, Director of Public Relations, Nordstrom
Krischel Pen Nordstrom
However, you do have a point there. Several of the posts could be substantially reduced. I'll work on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
After what went down in Beslan, that's unthinkable.
Prayers for the victims...and hell unleashed for the terrorists.
Thanks for the info....
What's the point of all this spamming while discussing this tragic news?
I found the information interesting. But, I'm speaking for myself, not "most people."
According to ETL, we all NEED his spam becasue we all have our heads up our butts. And, it's not just on the subject of Russia.
Christian Militia?
TEA Party sympathizers?
Isn't that how they are usually described? Rarely does the media refer to them as Muslims.
Must have been those Tea Party people. When will their atrocities cease?
I believe that Al Qaeda is so far off the deep end as far as extremest groups go that they will attack just about anyone. They attack the Chinese in Western China (and attempted to attack Beijing), they attack Russia all the time. AQ even has directed attacks against both Iran and other Islamic extremest groups (Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, ect) Many chechen separatists do not like AQ either.
We have to be vigilant, especially in New York City where millions of people take the subway everyday and it is almost impossible to ehck every single man, woman, young or old with a backpack.
There are many local cells out there that we don't even know about.
This is also a city where 125 languages are spoken and it is politically incorrect to single out and profile anyone.
According to pmsnbc, the muslim leader of the United Communist States of America is polishing up the congressional medals of honor that he will award to the bombers' families.
And in Russia, that's unusual.
I see you're still actively campaigning for dumbest FReeper of the year. But you're right. On subjects such as the Black Muslim movement in the US, "Black Liberation Theology" (ie, reverend Wright's thing), formation of the Black Liberation Front in Cuba, KGB involvement with the Weather Underground, and the revolutionary communist "Liberation" movement overall, most are absolutely lacking in understanding. That is obvious from the responses I see on related threads. You seem to be among the group that knows practically zilch about these subjects. Either that or you do you know but, for whatever stupid/crazy reason, want people who are actively trying to get the info out to be silent. MSM media silence on these critical matters is how Obama happened. Yet even Hannity and Limbaugh didn't scratch the surface on this stuff.
'SPAM', btw, is meaningless material unrelated to the subject at hand. ie, your repeated whinings about my posts. What I post is often of critical importance to the subject matter and usually expands upon it significantly. And I'm not referring to anything I say personally but rather the research I've done, most of it from highly credible "horse's mouth" sources.
I most certainly have sympathy for the innocent victims of any terror attack. But I don't trust the FSB/KGB Putin government any further than I can spit. In the theater attack some years ago, the Russian government was as responsible for most if not all of the deaths as the terrorists. The victims died from the chemical agent they used to suppress the attackers. They claimed they didn't have enough antidote or some such thing to bring people out. They probably wanted the high kill tally (a hundred or two I believe) so to better justify a crushing retaliation. This is how they operate.

Dan i know the deal and with resumes i posted what types of jobs that I want or pursuing !!!! and if you nned a different resume for all the types of jobs that you want to apply for i would have to at least 10 of them. I know that some comapnies computer systems when you send a resume and it soes not have the words that it recognises right away it kicks it ount. the goct usa job site i have pretty much given hope on that nothing will happen from there. these times it really depends on what is available to you even if it means doing constane weekly checks on local, state, county, city agencies and see what is there. i have ben doing that as muchas I can but for that special job... good luck to you and me trying to find that us working kind of man,,,,, that has had to use his hands, back, legs, and brain, not like the type that just sits behind a esk and not do anything at all.... if you know what I mean
dan.. shoot you are 10 years younger than me, and I will still send my same old resume that i have established 1 and half years ago, if you think if you need to change resumes for all kinds of different jobs then I guess I am sorry, my is plain but at the same time it says my strong points, my work history which is not between the Army, the job zi was at for 18 plusyears and the job that I got laid off at. i tell them that I have various strong attriebutes beside eye and hand coordination, being dependable and other things, and also states that I was a shop foreman not that it means anything in these days.
Dan what is the rumble in the jungle if i can ask ?? hope all is well, and anything good coming out so far from your job search just asking !!! here in Nevada is just stinking more and more everyday, can hardly wait to listen to tonights Obama speech tonight and liten to what he has to say
Dan this might be to personnal to ask but what age group are you in I am in the mid 40s actually 45 till June when I get 46
Thanks again. I do get more comments concerning photo's than articles.
Dan I understand completely with everything and it has to get better cannot get worse at least I hope not
Dan how very true at times i think they just want a reason not to even think about you, they want nothing but the pure angel of a person
dan i know what you are fellinmg, about responses when you get one they do not even say that to me. I have applied to maany public jobs and when it comes to convictions/ traffic tickets, at times they even want misdeaminoreos and zi tell them righy up front since all employers do background checks they will find out if i did not mention it rihgt away, then being totally disqualified and maybe have to pay for their expenses for the back grould check
very true but betting is everything whn you do this, always a chance, yes the turn overs can make a deal with the scoring, but at the same time, both teams have a problem with turnovers so it could go either way.
Hey dan what is the rumble in the junle ?? here it is still the same old thing
dan yes it will be since the colts have to against a defense that is the first in defense, basically in all areas. the roo. This is one timekie is good, at times I think Mr. Peyton has a lot to show now and get his next trophy.

I use the 7" and 9" in the trout and bass colors for pre spawn fish and it knocked their lights out. The tail has a big kick, so they work great at night too. Even at lakes with no trout, they absolutely inhale this thing. I recommend doing the butch brown rig on all sizes but the 5".

Comments: Yes indeed, this is a 2nd review, but a much needed one if people want to catch a boat load on any day. This bait just simply hands down catches fish, every time i go out i have this tied on because i know i'm going to get bit several times. It out catches, at least for me, jigs, squarebills, jerkbaits, combined, idk if its just CT or what but I love this lure to death, i just got 2 5" trout and another hitch, time to go catch some more, tight lines people, hopefully i convinced you to pick one up!
From: Stephen: Manchester, CT 4/26/14
Comments: Like previous posters stated it is for sure well worth the money for this size bait. But I have noticed that the ROF on the larger sizes is not consistent at all. I have seen it range from like a 12 to what seems like 200. not that fast sink is a problem but it would be nice to know that each one is what it should be and not have to guess on fall rate. They do hold up well too and that's a huge plus.
From: Brian: Grants Pass, OR 4/25/14
Comments: I have the 5" Hitch, oh baby does it get thumped slow rolling around laydowns and boulders! water is probably just getting over 40 degrees, and i had a stellar day, 7 good bass and 2 pickerel, every one choked it, once i get a big bait rod i will immediately be purchasing 7" real trouts.
From: Stephen: Manchester, CT 4/8/14
Comments: Best Bang For The Buck!! Tie the 7" on your line cast out and get ready for that fish you have been dreaming about.
From: KEYSTRIKE- NorCal
Comments: Just got all three colors of this bait..very impressed with the swimming action and the paint job is great i rigged them with stinger hooks incase of short bites and ill e chucking them at huge stripers at willow beach..hope tw gets them in the 11" size when they are released
From: Pikey: las vegas nv
Comments: Wow...I just got back from a fishing trip in Wisconsin and tried the 7' light trout when nothing else seemed to be working and caught some of the largest fish I've ever caught. These made a believer out of me! I would count down and slow troll these between 10' - 15' or cast them and keep them between 2' - 4' and the pike and large mouth would hammer them. I aslo used an 8" Huddleston and they both equally caught fish. IMO...these are one of THE BEST swimbaits on the market...especially considering the price. Use these, be patient and hang on to your rod...because big baits catch BIG fish!
From: Ray: USA
Comments: Best boot tail on the market. I know I can tie one of these on when I can't get a hit on any other swimbait and get slammed. If they won't touch the 7", tie on the 5" and they'll choke it!!! Best part is that at 9.99 you won't break the bank.
From: FRED-E-MAC: NOR CAL
Comments: Super soft plastic with awesome swimming action. The 7" is good for fishing 15 to 30 feet deep. Swims on the fall instead of doing circles like a bunch of swimbaits. Heard there are larger sizes coming!
From: Josh: So California
Comments: not bad, but not my favorite. Not a huge fan of boot tail swimbaits but for the price this bait is definitely worth the money.

The marvellous natural scenery makes the Sorrentine Peninsula one of the most famous tourist destinations in Italy. Protruding into the Tyrrhenian Sea, almost touching the island of Capri, it extends from Castellammare di Stabia to Punta Campanella, watershed between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno.
Art and tradition characterise the numerous towns, the most famous of which is Sorrento: perched on an imposing cliff over the sea, this charming town holds on to its medieval and classical memories, while also preserving Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
In this very famous area there is no lack of "wellness tourism", like the thermal baths at Vico Equense, one of the most picturesque towns of the coast. But the great attractions of this land is in its natural beauty: the coastal road is marvellous: citrus groven, vineyards and olive groves that softly pour down the slopes towards the sea, the road follows the tortuous coastline, where curve after curve opens up incredible views of the gulf of Naples, Vesuvius and Capri. The coast is high, craggy and rocky, with sheer limestone cliffs that crumble into the sea, coves and rocky shores.
From Castellammare di Stabia to Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi
Castellammare di Stabia is famous for its shipyards and its thermal spa establishments. The name comes from a medieval castle (castrum ad mare) to which the place-name Stabiae (destroyed in the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD together with Pompeii and Herculaneum) was added. The archaeological excavations here have uncovered ancient structures: the necropolis of the Madonna delle Grazie and numerous Roman buildings, two of which are open to the public: Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna.
Vico Equense, famous for its thermal baths and for "pizza by the meter" also preserves numerous traces of the past: the Annunziata Church (the only gothic church on the Peninsula), Castello Giusso (founded by the Angevins and restructured between the 1600's and 1800's) and the interesting Antiquarium, where the relics of an archaeological burial site from 7th-5th century BC are exhibited.
From Vico Equense the road becomes tortuous, following the sinuous slopes of Monti Lattari. From Piano di Sorrento, Sorrento can be admired from afar and behind Punta del Capo the profile of Capri is visible.
Piano di Sorrento gradually slopes down towards the sea and enjoys mild temperatures even in summer.
The road follows down all the way to Meta, an holiday swimming area with lovely beaches.
In the historic centre of the town is the noted Santa Maria del Lauro Basilica. Soon after is Sorrento itself, the most famous place on the coast.
The city sits high above the sea on an imposing tuff outcrop with deep gorges. The houses are immersed in luxuriant green and surrounded by groves of olive, lemon and orange trees. The whole is framed by the high reliefs of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Sorrento is a tranquil place, to be enjoyed in all seasons for its mild climate, the perfume of its gardens and the panoramic terraces that give onto the sea.
The town became famous in the 1800's, but its history has much deeper roots. The name Surrentum is possibly tied to the legend of the siren and theories of a Phoenician foundation are entertained. What is certain is that in Roman times it was the favourite dwelling of the aristocracy.
The town centre is Piazza Tasso, which takes its name from the author of "Jerusalem Delivered", born in Sorrento in 1544. The Cathedral dates to the 15th century and has seen many restructuring over the ages. The Choir is made of refined inlaid wood, a traditional craft the city excels in.
The Correale di Terranova Museum houses the relics of the past in the 1600's home of the Correali, "the most beautiful provincial museum of Italy", according to Amedeo Maiuri. The archaeological section is important and the collection of forniture, porcelain and paintings is vast.
The San Francesco Church is from the 1700's and from there you can get to the Villa Comunale, a public garden on the edge of a cliff that offers spectacular views. From the Villa a paved road takes you to the Marina Piccola, which has numerous bathing establishments and a port from which the boats for Capri and Naples leave. The biggest beach is Marina Grande, traditional destination of Sorrentine strolls.
After Punta del Capo is Massa Lubrense, a popular and panoramic health resort.
The town is less well known than others on the Peninsula and therefore not as affected by mass tourism. Thanks to this, it retains its secluded nature and preserves flavours and that special feeling lost in other places, like the old farm buildings. Close by is Marina della Lobra, a fishing village with its houses built on the beach and at the little port.
Around Massa Lubrense there are many charming little villages: Termini, Nerano and the vast and beautiful Marina del Cantone. From Massa you can continue to the far extreme of the Sorrentine Peninsula, in front of Capri: Punta Campanella. In antiquity this place was sacred: perhaps it was here that the Greek temple dedicated to the sirens (so written about by the ancient authors) surged. In the Classic Era the temple was dedicated to Athena, the Romans then built a road that led to it from Sorrento. Some of the old stoneslab paved stretches are still visible as one nears the Punta. The tower-lighthouse, built in 1335 and rebuilt in 1566, signalled the arrival of pirates with the sounding of a bell, hence the name of the Point: Campanella means bell.
Here one discovers the wilder and more enchanted face of the coast. One can explore this fascinating natural environment following a trail that reaches the evocative Bay of Ieranto, a rocky cove at the feet of Mount San Costanzo.
From Massa Lubrense one can go up to Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi in a magnificent panoramic position over the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, and reach the ancient 18th centrury carmelite hermitage called Deserto.
Mediterranean land that has been depicted described and immortalised in song by artists, poets and travellers from every period of history. Along the coast, rugged and inaccessible cliffs soar upwards between beautiful beaches, hidden caves, enchanting bays and sheltered coves. Whereas inland, the high plains, rolling hills and lofty mountains are seared by deep valleys to create a truly unique landscape in which man has also left a clear sign of his remarkable work: the more impervious areas have been modelled into the now-famous terraces, those huge steps descending into the sea on which man gas planted vin yards and groves of orange, lemon and olive trees. There are the garden of delight which excude an inebrianting perfume of blassom in spring. The mild climate and predominantly fine wether all year round make the Sorrentine Penisular an ideal destination in any season. The first town in the Peninsular isVico Equensewith its Giusso Castle on the coast and the austere Mont Faito (1400 metres high) which allows you to pass from the sea to the mountain in just a few minutes. Next we findMetadi Sorrento , a town hidden in a maze of alleyways whose small hamlets and sun-drenched beaches are a must for visitors. Piano di Sorrentois a bustling town which harmoniously blends its sea-faring vocation with its rural identity and its tole as a major shopping centre. The hill rising up behind the town is traverded by narrow roads flanked by high walls that enclose centuries-old orange and lemon groves. BeyondPiano di Sorrento we enterSant'Agnellowhich looks out over the sea from a high tufastone cliff that enchanted the royal house of Bourbon and led royalty from all over Europe to build majestic villas here. Also overlooking the sea and framed by the surronding hills, the international town ofSorrentowith its historic city centre, its harbours andgardens of orange and lemon trees. Finally, the delighful little town ofMassa Lubrense, situated on the very tip of the Penisular looking out to the Isle of Capri: a veritable oasis with numerous footpaths linking up ancient farm houses and archeological sites nestling into the Mediterranean maquis which offer superb views out to sea and down onto enchanting little coves. Ever since ancient times man has been fascinated by this area and many peoples established settlements here: the ancient Greeks were so enchanted that they imagined this was the home of Sirens, whose sweet song was a lure that no mariner could defy; likewise, the Romans were enraptured by its boundless beauty and natural resources and its fame spread throughout the know world. Here they built a road as far as the headland know as Punta Campanella and on the coast they constructed small harbours, fish-tanks, nymphaea and baths using local spring water to embellish their sumptuous villas, such as that of Pollius Felix the visible remains of which bear witness to its former grandeur. Later, during the Middle Ages and more recent times, the local population engaged in bustling trade in spite of the evrpresent threat of the Saracen pirates and continued to live fearlessly along the coast in the exquisite harbours: Marina di Aequa, Marina Grande and Marina della Lobra. And the Spaniards who governed much of southern Italy for a sizeable part of the modern age, appreciated the area for its abundance of fruits, fish, birds, meat and cheeses. While in the eighteenth century, the sorrentine Peninsular was discovered by the grand tour and intellectuals from all over Europe, including Nietzsche and Ibsen, found spiritual and cultural nourishment here, inauguranting the tast for living in a villa, which made the sorrentine Peninsular a popular resort I the élite tourist trade. In a well-ordered and secure environment, every tourist can have an ideal holiday as there is no end to the possible combinations of countryside and tranquillity, health and culture – bathing in the sea, spa-water health cures at the Scrajo complex, day trips by boat, country walks, excursions to the archeological sites such as the necropolises of Aequa and Desrto and visits to the local museum (the Archeological Museum, the Mineralogical Museum and the Correale Museum), the historic city centers with their ancient monasteries and cloisters, such as the San Francesco cloisters in Sorrento, the old hamlets with their ancient frescoed churches, such asthe Chapel of Santa Lucia in Vico Equense, but sport and international music and cinema events are also catered for, in addition to theatre shows, night clubs and bars. Here there are celabrations all year-round: the thousand of local cultural traditions mean that there is always a special event any time of year: from the Carnival to the famoue Easter processions throughout the Peninsular, to the numerous fates in summer and autumn with their presentation of typical local produce and the Sorrentine Tarantella, a traditional local dance, and the impressive Christmas celebration.
Restaurants of the highest level invite you to savour the now world-famous local cusine with its blend of flavours from the sea and the fertile countryside. Handicrafts are also plantiful: first and foremost the inlaid wood and marquetry craft, although there is also a flourishing trade in a small boats and pleasure craft. Finally, the peninsular produces a number of fine liqueurs distilled from local produce, such as lemons, mandarins, oranges and walnuts.

valuable are the wooden works and the baskets.
The gastronomy
Vico Equense is an area where are produced the qualities dry and full-bodied white and red DOC wine of the "Peninsula of Sorrento", suitable to the local cuisine, while the vatiety sparkling red goes well with dessert.
Besides the first course of pasta, gnocchi, lasagne and cannelloni, you can taste the soup called "maritata" and pizza with prickly lettuce.Very tasty are also fish and meat specialities. Typical and special are the dairy products such as "treccia" (fresh milk-cheese), "caciocavallo" "gourd-shaped kind of cheese), "scamorza" (unfermented cheese), provola (fresh buffalo-milk cheese), "caciotta" "a sort of ovine soft cheese), "ricotta di fuscella" (cottage chese made of skim milk). Very rich and appreciated is the production of fruit and vegetables. It is worth mentioning the olive oil and the citrus and nut liquor.
A true curiosity is the typical
"Pizza a metro" (pizza cut in metres),
which has become "a classic speciality"
of Vico Equense.
The principal restaurant of Vico Equense
where uou can eat the very "Pizza al metro" is "L'università della Pizza".

"I was super excited when these shoes arrived as I was hoping they would be my new "go to shoe". They came damaged and not by shipping. The material was already broken away from the toe and the entire shoe looked cheaply made. I wear a stadard size 7 and this shoe was very tight on my foot and the back slipped off when I walked. All in all very disappointed and I will be returning these."

Skip to comments.University's diversity chief put on leave after signing anti-gay marriage petition
Posted on 10/10/2012 8:32:23 PM PDT by TigerClaws
The chief diversity officer at Gallaudet University was put on administrative Wednesday after the school learned she had signed a petition supporting efforts to reverse Marylands same-sex marriage law, media reports say. Dr. Angela McCaskill signed the petition at her church after her preacher spoke against gay marriage, the Planet DeafQueer blog reported on Monday, citing a Gallaudet faculty member who first spotted the administrators name on the document. Voters in Maryland will decide on Nov. 6 whether to keep a state law passed earlier this year approving same-sex marriage.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.nbcnews.com ...
Hilarious. Makes a mockery of the department's own title to fire her over a "diverse" opinion.
I can spell lawsuit in sign language.
Diversity only flows one way.
So she's not allowed to have an opinion on an issue? Seriously? Get a lawyer, lady, it's payday!!
Diversity means you had better fall into line and support Zee Partee or else.
More intolerance of the tolerant.....
Diversity means we are all in lock-step, chanting the party line in unison. Her action brands her as double-plus ungood.
Speaking of "Diversity" officials, are there any of those who are extracted from the ranks of Indians (Amer. or Asian), Oriental, Caucasian or other ranks? Or is this title a set aside for Blacks and those who qualify under that grouping?
"Diversity Chief"... is this really what tuition money goes too??? Christ, no wonder its so expensive!!!
Liberals view diversity the same way they view freedom of expression. It's all very important to them until someone says or does something they don't agree with, and then it's time to shut people up and take their jobs away.
This is why you can't win an argument with a liberal. Well, you CAN win, but they'll never believe that you won. They have a built-in defense mechanism that says that their opinions are facts but your facts are worthless opinions that must be silenced.
United for Diversity!
As a private citizen, she goes to church on Sunday, signs a petition in support of reversing the same-sex marriage law in her State, and is put on leave from her job. Boy oh boy...I can't wait to see what employee rule they cite to defend that move. I hope she sues and wins big!
The author, Matthew J. Franck, is a wonderful writer. This piece is in the latest issue of Hillsdale College Imprimis
Liberals are incapable of understanding your very well made point.
I wish I was an attorney in her state.
Diversity Chief fired over not being diverse in the correct PC slant of what that means: the very definition of IRONY.
Kind of like a Zampolit being relieved of duty for political crimes.
I wonder who they got to put her on Admin Leave, since that's probably normally HER job...
Apparently she is a handicapped (deaf) black woman; blacks are being shown the bottom of the "victim ladder" (this started when Hispanics passed them in numbers in the 2000 census).
She is not the only black person to pay for opposing gay marriage; it seems that some think they are SO entitled to their jobs that the "white people rules" don't apply to them. I work with some white women who think the same way.
This is so wrong and antiAmerican.
Yup. Administrative bloat (both numbers and salary levels) is the main driver of higher education costs.
last i checked it was ILLEGAL to fire soemone for their religious beliefs- but apparently liberals and gay advocates play by a different set of rules
So, the school's top racist (Diversity is Racism) gets suspended for not being "diverse" enough?
It's like Stalin purging the Red Army for not being "Commie enough"
No one is free if you can be fired for your opinions even if you do your job properly. What good is freedom of speech if you are not protected from perverts and other militants looking over things like petitions and donations in order to destroy those who disagree with them? These tactics are used by groups such as gay rights advocates to suppress, silence and punish citizens who oppose them. In my opinion we need laws to protect people from such attacks.
I'll bet it was a Catholic university.
Nope. Gallaudet is an historic university for the deaf located in Washington DC. It has been around since the civil war. It is not religiously affiliated at all (federally chartered).

Canucks prospect Sebastian Erixon, signed last spring after a break-out season with Timrå of the SEL, is unhappy in Chicago according to unnamed sources who spoke with Dagbladet, a newspaper in Sundsvall. To make the matter even more dicey, the team's sports director Kent Norberg is actively talking to the press about "welcoming" the diminutive two-way defenseman back "with open arms."
According to Dagbladet's sources, Sebastian Erixon's frustration is the result of limited ice-time, and a sense of alienation. Erixon, who won a silver medal at the World Junior Championships with the Tre Kronor in 2009, came into his own with Timrå last year, scoring five goals and recording twenty points in forty-four appearances. So far with the Chicago Wolves he's posted one assist in nine games, and has been a healthy scratch four times.
Says Jon Häggqvist, a sports reporter with Allehande, a newspaper in Örnsköldsvik (home of the Sedin twins and Naslund), "There's not much smoke, but it's something. Timrå is dead last in the SEL and they're struggling; mostly because their defense is really bad. Clearly, they need Erixon. I'm pretty sure Vancouver wouldn't release him from his contract, but perhaps he could be loaned back to Timrå for the rest of the season? That's just hypothetical though."
There was some excitement at Canucks Army this summer about the Sebastian Erixon signing. Certainly we had hoped that he'd be another Tanev/Lack quality "diamond in the rough" find for the team. Frankly, most of this seems like bluster from a desperate hockey club in Timrå, and Erixon has not made any formal "signals" of reciprocated interest as of yet. Still, reports that Erixon is struggling and unhappy in Chicago are undeniably troubling. Could the Canucks become the second Western Canadian team to get burned by a Swedish defender named Erixon this year?

i imagine they'll loan him out, when tanev and parent are healthy they'll have a logjam at D

Rise of Freemium is interesting but not entirely unthinkable with the advent of more casual games and the failing MMO market looking for new business models.
APB getting closed so quickly is more surprising than someone picking it up, I mean its a completed game with a very advanced customization system despite its other flaws.
God's & Heroe's coming back is more surprising, I mean how many half finished games get another chance after being iced for so long?
I'd say Viturual Property is the winner though. I mean is someone told you before that they were gonna make $335,000 selling something they constructed themselves on a C-list MMO, what would you say?

Mine as well.
Reason being is that the "second chances" of APB and Gods and Heroes is notable but will soon be forgotten. The large amount for a virtual property is compelling but it's not like we haven't seen other peoople/organizations buy virtual property before.
I think the Rise of Freemium is notable because it's a big change in how these games earn revenue and will not only affect content but how these games are developed.
It's a paradigm shift that seems to resonate for me.
Had to be selling pixels for 1/3 of a million dollars! Just WOW! How can anything in the wirtual world and as transitory as items in an online game be worth that kind of money; $335,000 and $635,00 in total is just plain crazy
Gaming since Avalon Hill was making board games.
Played SWG, EVE, Fallen Earth, LOTRO, Rift, Vanguard, WoW, SWTOR, TSW, Tera
Tried Aoc, Aion, EQII, RoM, Vindictus, Darkfail, DDO, GW, PotBS
The single news item there that's spawned the most articles and columns and has been endlessly and passionately debated is, by a wide and clear margine, the rise of freemium. It gets my vote.
Always read the small print.

Because you are looking at it in the wrong light.
How can a photograph cost a certain amount of money? Or how can a concert cost so much money. I mean, it's just sound waves.
What is being charge/paid for is the perceived value of the experience that "item" will bring.
It is a real item. We can see it therefore it is tangible to one of our senses. If people are willing to pay for access to that piece of virtual property (for whatever that person uses it for) then that is actual revenue.
Just because it is made of light from a computer monitor doesn't make it any less real.
If you go to a lecture you are taking away an experience. If you read a paper you are taking away info even though it's just ink on a page.
If a person can make money on a virtual property then it is a sound investment. Especially as there are some investements that are even less tangible to my limited understanding such as "futures". I mean wow.
I don't really see how WAR went F2P as claimed in the article, but the other ones going into that direction was certainly big news.
The crown still goes to the extreme quick closure and subsequent adoption of APB though imo.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
I gotta put my vote in for Gods&Heroes, I've waiting for that game since the day I saw the preview in Game Informer
Yes I have a dream And its not some MLK dream for equality. I wanna own a decommissioned lighthouse And I wanna live at the top And nobody knows I live there. And theres a button that I can press, and launch that lighthouse into space.
Alpha Counter:
Six Years Worth of Game Time Destroyed in EVE Pirate Raid.
Which is why I voted it for most innovative as well
That whole "None of the Above" option still isn't available. Seriously. Put it in and see what happens.

APB resurrection. That's was a second chance to a game that never thought to be heard of again.
just a thought but isn't the resurrection of apb also due to the freeium craze. I'm jsut saying
APB: Death and Resurrection.
Although I think this would be more accurate as simply APB's Sudden Death.
Yes, it was shite. Pretty much anyone who's played it or read about it could tell you that. But it's such a rare thing for a game to suffer from such staggeringly poor management as to not be able to limp along for even a year before folding up like a cheap lawn chair. I was suprised and I played it (so I know first-hand how bad it was). Nothing else on that list suprised me.
Actually, the BIGGEST story of 2010 is that after 15 LONG years Duke Nuke'em Forever may no longer be vaporware. ^^ It was actually demo'ed in playable form at PAX 2010.
Games dying and coming back is nothing new. P2P games becoming F2P isn't that new either, and it's more of an indefinite trial than the actual game.
Therefore, the $335,000 virtual property gets my vote. Whoever bought that thing must've been a millionaire with too much time to spare.
I voted for Gods and Heroes for one simple reason. It was voted best game at show at a certain event a couple years back and got cancelled soon after. Then out of nowhere some unnamed company who made a Iphone/Andriod app picks it up and re-develops it. Unusual to say the least but nevertheless surprising.
Only things that deserve to be voted on is gods & heroes, and APB.
Rise of Freemium seems like a sort of sea change for the market, developers and players and might allow more mmos to compete in different ways and different game designs.
The saga of RealID in WoW would have been my choice.

webinar on Data Reduction and Smoothing in MySQL
By Giuseppe Maxia on Jun 10, 2009
If you have missed Michael McFadden's session at the last MySQL Conference, here's a chance to catch up.
On June 11, at 17:00 UTC Michael McFadden will present at a free webinar, on the subject of Faster Data Reduction and Smoothing for Analysis & Archival in MySQL.
Don't let the "For ISVs" distract you. This session is a collection of very practical and down to earth tips for tasks that can be in the TODO list of any DBA.
In addition to being practical, Michael's advice is justified by rigorous statistical analysis, and the tips he provides have both the benefits of practical testing and a scientific justification.
Did I make you curious enough? I may add that the tips provided in this lesson will privilege SQL instead of external languages coding, but some Python will be there as a bonus for the patient attendees.

After a lockout wiped out the 2004/2005 season the NHL had to come up with a plan on how to decide the draft order for the "Sidney Sweepstakes." Sidney Crosby had been heralded as the #1 choice for the 2005 draft since he was 14 years old, and now the NHL had the dubious task of trying to come up with a "fair" process to determine which franchise would choose him first overall.
Some have suggested the actual lottery was rigged to allow Pittsburgh to draft the league's next great player. Regardless of that
fact rumour, the rules they came up with prior to the lottery were as follows:
Each team began with three balls in the lottery barrel. For every playoff appearance in the three previous seasons or No. 1 overall picks in the previous four years they lost a ball. No team would end up with less than one ball.
Under that scenario Buffalo, Columbus, NYR and Pittsburgh had the best chance of drafting Crosby with each of them having the maximum three balls.
Even though Columbus had a first overall pick in the previous four years, 2002, they didn't lose a ball because they traded up to get that pick. Florida won the lottery that year and traded the pick to the Blue Jackets.
Anaheim, Atlanta, Calgary, Carolina, Chicago, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Nashville, and Phoenix had two balls. Atlanta lost a ball due to the Kovalchuk pick in 2001, while the rest all lost one due to one playoff appearance in the previous three seasons.
While Boston, Colorado, Dallas, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, New Jersey, NYI, Ottawa, Philly, San Jose, St.Louis, Tampa, Toronto, Vancouver and Washington had one.
Florida ended up losing two balls because they won the lottery in 2002 and 2003. They ended up trading both picks away, so not only did Florida screw themselves by trading down from #1 both years, and losing both deals, they also lost two balls in the 2005 lottery. Fail.
Here are the results of the 2005 lottery.
|Pittsburgh Penguins 3 balls
|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim 2 balls
|Carolina Hurricanes 2 balls
|Minnesota Wild 2 balls
|Montreal Canadiens 1 ball
|Columbus Blue Jackets 3 balls
|Chicago Blackhawks 2 balls
|Atlanta Thrashers 2 balls
|Ottawa Senators 1 ball
|Vancouver Canucks 1 ball
|Los Angeles Kings 2 balls
|San Jose Sharks 1 ball
|Buffalo Sabres 3 balls
|Washington Capitals 1 ball
|New York Islanders 1 ball
|New York Rangers 3 balls
|Phoenix Coyotes 2 balls
|Nashville Predators 2 balls
|Detroit Red Wings 1 ball
|Philadelphia Flyers 1 ball
|Toronto Maple Leafs 1 ball
|Boston Bruins 1 ball
|New Jersey Devils 1 ball
|St. Louis Blues 1 ball
|Edmonton Oilers 2 balls
|Calgary Flames 2 balls
|Colorado Avalanche 1 ball
|Dallas Stars 1 ball
|Florida Panthers 1 ball
|Tampa Bay Lightning 1 ball
* Sharks traded the 12th pick (Marc Staal), the 49th (Chad Denny) and #207 (Myles Stoesz) to the Thrashers for the #8 pick (Devin Setoguchi).
**Thrashers then traded down again. Moving the #12 pick (Marc Staal) to the Rangers for the #16 pick (Alex Bourret), and #41 pick (Ondrej Pavelec).
***Flyers traded down. They moved the #20th pick (Kenndal McArdle) to the Panthers for the 29th pick (Steve Downie), 2006 second round pick (Cory Emmerton. 41st pick).
****Capitas acquired the #27 pick (Joe Finley) from the Avalanche for the 47th pick (Tom Fritsche) and the 52nd pick (Chris Durand).
Outisde of the sheer lunacy of this lockout, it is eerie how eight years later the consensus first overall pick is from the same hometown, Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, as Crosby. Nathan McKinnon is lighting up the QMJHL with 17 goals and 26 points in 14 games. While some will try to hype a McKinnon/Seth Jones battle, Mckinnon will be the first pick next summer.
We don't know for sure if the NHL would use the same scenario as 2005, but I don't see any reason why they would change it. Going off of the 2005 rules the Edmonton Oilers, despite never making the playoffs, will have only one of the fifty balls in the barrel.
Seventeen teams will have one ball:
San Jose
Los Angeles
New Jersey
Six teams will have two balls:
St. Louis
Tampa Bay
Seven teams will have three balls:
Hopefully we see hockey and not another league-wide lottery, but if we do have a lottery three Canadian teams have the best odds of winning.
The Flames have never had a top-five pick. They've picked sixth three times, Cory Stillman in 1992, Daniel Tkaczuk in 1997 and Rico Fata in 1998.
The Jets have had four top-five picks. They took Dale Hawerchuk 1st overall in 1981, Dave Babych 2nd overall in 1980, Stu Barnes 4th overall in 1989 and Aaron Ward 5th overall in 1991.
The Leafs have had seven top-five picks: Wendal Clark 1st overall in 1985, Scott Thornton 3rd overall in 1989, Gary Nylund 3rd overall in 1982, Lanny McDonald 4th overall in 1973, Al Iafrate 4th overall in 1984, Luke Schenn 5th overall in 2008 and Morgan Rielly 5th overall in 2012.
Let's hope there is hockey so we can mock the fans of the team with the worst record, rather than complain about how the NHL rigged the lottery and gave Phoenix/Quebec the first overall pick.
**Keep in mind there has to be a new CBA before they can hold the draft. In 2005 the draft was held on July 30th at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa.**
October 25 2012, 11:50PM
The Leafs also had the 2nd pick in the draft two years ag-... oh my mistake.
How would a dispersal draft work if lets say this lockout took down a team like Phoenix, which is swirling out there. Probably a ploy by the owners but what if it happens once the season is cancelled, please dont tell me the Oilers would get the first pick off the Coyote roster.
October 26 2012, 12:29AM
@Jason Gregor
If the league were to do a dispersal draft with a team like, say the Coyotes, and the Oilers got 2nd overall pick, I'd say that'd be a case of grand Ekman-Larsson-y.
Wow, that was Principe-worthy.
Okay, my apologies. I'd better quit before Jonathan revokes my internet privileges.
October 26 2012, 04:32AM
And now the conspiracy theories begin. What a great way to turn the Columbus franchise around and allow them to pick the cold #1 ball. Canadian teams on the other hand haven't a snowball's chance in hell of winning the first pick.
I havent posted in a while...
I will start off by saying I want hockey back more than anything. I am sooooooooooooooo tired of reading articles or hearing it mentioned on the news or where ever with some caveat stating "...assuming there is a season this year."
I quite honestly dont care for either side of this negotiation. Its become obvious hockey is a business to the owners and players and the actual joy of the game doesnt come close to their love of the all mighty dollar. I appreciate where the players are coming from and understand why they are (and even probably should) be holding out because this is going to be an ongoing thing with more and more cut-backs as the years pass if they dont hold out. The players are not doing themselves any favours however. Just yesterday I heard a quote from Toews crying poor because they just aren't being treated fairly or paid their fair value with the recent cut backs. How does a kid so young lose touch of reality so quickly to not realize in 1 year (with his contract, endorsements, etc.) he will make more than your average collection of people will make in their lifetime. It's simply not relate able and they should simply say nothing at all and fans will naturally support the heroes they cheer for on a nightly basis.
It saddens me to think they are negotiating a deal that would span 5 or 6 years because I can all but guarantee there will be some sort of work stoppage again when it expires.
In my opinion I honestly dont think either side is going to blink any time soon and dont believe there will be a season this year. On the plus side, to see that at least the Flames will be given some of the better odds at winning the Mackinnon or Jones sweepstakes. From my understanding Mackinnon is a highly touted prospect and if they win (still not great odds) I could see this being the turning point for a team very obviously in its demise. I always wonder though, have we seen Iggy and Kipper for the last time in a Flames Jersey the last game of last season?
October 26 2012, 09:47AM
Yea, I don't quite find this to be fair. LA having just won the lottery, shouldn't have that good of odds to get anywhere near a top ten pick.
3 balls for the 14 teams out of the playoffs last year in the same manner as described, thus improving the chances for teams that haven't made the PO's or picked 1st overall in the 3 years prior. A separate lottery for those teams that made the PO's last year.
Or, we could just go in reverse order for the bottom 14 teams to how the last draft went which would have CGY picking 1st overall. OH YEAH!!! Hey EDM would still pick #14, not bad considering their last few drafts.
October 26 2012, 11:30AM
Flames have a relatively good chance of getting first overall?
Maybe I'll start cheering for this lock-out after all.......
October 26 2012, 12:28PM
That 2005 draft was rigged. How did Calgary end up picking 26 of 30 with 2 balls? They were the last place team in terms of those with the most balls (just ripe for double entendres...).
No other way to put it than that draft was totally rigged. And now, you think Calgary and those other Canadian teams have a chance?
Hell no. The pick will go to Phoenix (as a way of boosting their attendance with a young hot "next Sid the Kid") or Columbus (as compensation for not having the ASG there or for just being a terrible team). No way the Flames will even pick top 5. We would've had a better chance playing the season.
To be fair, the buckets should be 0, 1 and 2 balls. I think if any of the projected one ball teams landed McKinnon, the other 29 teams would be outraged.
October 26 2012, 04:26PM
To be fair, the buckets should be 0, 1 and 2 balls. I think if any of the projected one ball teams landed McKinnon, the other 29 teams would be outraged.
Sounds good. Teams making the final 4 last year should not receive a ball at all. Followed by teams under the original criteria.

Why You Should Be Happy About The Komarov Deal
Danny Gray
May 30 2012 11:38AM
Most of the photos of Komarov are of him causing a ruckus in front of the net.
Per James Mirtle the Leafs have officially signed 2006 6th round pick Leo Komarov to a one year contract. It's an entry level deal "with a cap hit of $1.2-million ($850,000 in base salary with another $350,000 in potential bonuses)". Here is why you should be excited about a move that would go unnoticed among most other franchises.
First and Foremost Komarov, unlike recent members of the Leafs 4th line, can actually play hockey. Mirtle quotes his agent describing Leo's play:
"Leo has been a fan favourite everywhere he's played," Larva said. "He's a great skater, finishes checks... and kills penalties effectively. He's played in many different roles in different teams and molds into coach's plans like a chameleon – very versatile player that is."
This is exactly the type of skill set that is needed on the 3rd and 4th lines.
Second, he signed short-term and for cheap. Colton Orr was signed for four years! While his cap hit was marginal that commitment takes away a roster spot unless he is demoted to the Marlies or traded. The one year contract gives the Leafs some flexibility going into next season and mitigates the risk of signing a player whose NHL talent is unknown. It also gives Komarov something to prove.
Most importantly this deal prevents Burke from throwing stacks of money at some plug UFA like George Parros, Brandon Prust, or Travi Moen. These guys have the same skillset but will cost twice as much and sign for twice as long. While the Leafs need help up and down the line-up filling the bottom six with bloated contracts like Colby Armstrong's is a recipe for another lottery pick. While Komarov may not contribute anything on the ice, preventing the Leafs from overpaying a UFA makes the deal a steal already.
Great Job John Ferguson Junior!
2006 is turning out to be quite the Draft for the Leafs. JFJ had 7 picks that year. 4 have already played in the NHL with the Leafs and look to be regulars either here or elsewhere. (Tlusty, Reimer, Kulemin, Stalberg) Both Holzer and Komarov will get a shot with the Leafs next season. That leaves Tyler Ruegsegger as they only player drafted that year without a future in the NHL. Where is Tyler now? Why he played 4 games with the Abbotsford Heat in the AHL last season. Maybe he'll get a shot with the Flames. While Leafs fans are loathe to give JFJ any credit, that draft has turned out pretty well for the Leafs. Good job JFJ! Excuse me while I go take a shower.

Angela and all- speaking of repairmen, when we were in disney, our a/c wasnt working. So they sent these two young guys iver to fix it- and mean like 20's. Very professional and one was very good looking. Fast foward now we are in our huge rented clown car, which had to big enough for 11, and mr liddy is way way way in the back, im in front seat chatting with dil, who was driving. She asked about a/c i said its fixed, they sent two huys out, and one was really good looking. From way in the back comes my liddy:" who? Whi was good looking?" Dil and i both cracked up because sooooo unlike hubby! And because half the time im right in front of him talking and he doesnt hear me! Now suddenly he hearing shit from way back in car, lol. I got a kick out of the select hearing and of course, as woman married 100 years with grandchildren, i can look all i want, the young guy's probably wondering if he has to change my attends, lolReplyCancel
I like to look at a newly installed appliance for ages. I'll also go back numerous times for a little visit & another look.
Always take the business card of a good looking repairman etc. after all, when it breaks down you don't want to risk getting a builders bum type.

Zions Bank in Huntington and Castle Dale held Lights on Ceremonies last week. Students from Castle Dale Elementary sang Christmas songs and decorated the tree in the lobby of the Castle Dale Branch. The entire school made the ornaments for the tree and Principal Ralph Worthen was presented with a check for $150 for the school by Ed Christianson, bank manager.
At the Huntington branch the sixth grade band under the direction of Reed Fehlberg played Christmas tunes for parents and bank customers. Santa arrived to greet students at both banks and refreshments were served. Huntington Elementary also received a donation for their school for $150.
