Wrong picture
"The picture doesn't match the product. I had hoped to buy a shoe but what arrived was a 6" high top boot. That explains why it's described as a boot, Very disappointed. I wanted what is in the picture. Aside from it being a boot not a shoe, it seemed comfortable, a little wide."

Eye catching shoe
"These are very cute shoes. The fabric design is terrific. These ran a bit long and narrow. Since it is a heavy fabric it will stretch width wise and fit nice after breaking in. When you order a higher size with Jessica Simpson shoes they tend to think you have long, narrow feet. I have an average foot. It will require breaking in.The comfort level is what you would expect with a sky high shoe. For me it is not a walker shoe. Use for a sitting evening event - perfect."

Why eat Clif Bars?Clif Bars help athletes and active people who respect their bodies and world around them to push farther with natural energy. Are Clif Bars appropriate for kids to eat?Because Clif Bars are formulated with adult needs in mind, children should not eat a whole bar until their nutritional needs more closely match those of an adult (around ages 9-13). Children ages 4-9 could have half on occasion and as with all food choices, parents should use their best judgment. Caffeinated flavors are not recommended for children.

There are no dairy products in the bars; however, the vendor they purchase their non-dairy chocolate chips from makes chips containing dairy in the same building. Are Clif Bars vegan-friendly?Yes. There are no ingredients derived from animals in Clif Bars. Is Clif Bar gluten-free?No, Clif Bar is not a gluten-free food item. All flavors may contain gluten. About Clif BarClif Bar and Company started on a bike ride. The founder, Gary, took a bite of another energy bar and thought to himself: "I could make a better bar than this." Today, they still want to make things better. Their food. Their company. Even the planet. They'll keep working on it. Clif Bar is named after Gary's father, Clifford, his childhood hero and companion throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains. In 1990, Gary live in a garage with his dog, his skis, climbing gear, bicycle and two trumpets. The inspiration to create an energy bar occurred during a day-long, 175-mile ride with his buddy, Jay. They'd been gnawing on some "other" energy bars. Suddenly, despite his hunger, He coudln't take another bite. That's the moment he now calls "the epiphany." two years later, after countless hours in Mom's kitchen, Clif Bar had become a reality. And the mission to create a better-tasting energy bar was accomplished. Clif Bar has grown since 1990, and still the spirit of adventure that began on that ride continues to thrive each day. As the company evolves, they face many choices, yet they always do their best to take care of their people, their community, and the environment.

Really liking these urban boots...
"Picked these up online a few weeks ago (added them to my order) and am quite pleased. The soles are quite grippy and allow you to feel the ground/surface. The upper leather is soft, pliable and comfortable to wear. Tongue is thin and not insulated (and cooler!). Have already received 2 compliments from total strangers. Do note that these are NOT work boots. NOT waterproof. I have plenty of those...these are stylish, sharper looking and can be worn most anywhere. Goes great with jeans. Laces seemed a bit short & of mediocre quality. Will be ordering some higher quality laces to match the rest of the fantastic boot! :)"

Zach Bogosian a Big Deal in Winnipeg
Matt Eichel
August 15 2011 05:35PM
Not only is Jets defenseman and current RFA excited and ready to play in Winnipeg, Zach Bogosian is also one of the best young defensemen in the NHL today.
Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press likened Bogosian to LA Kings star Drew Doughty and Toronto Maple Leafs Luke Schenn, who are also both in contract negotiations with their teams without any arbitration rights.
However, Lawless points out the main difference being: "The other two blue-liners have already declared with their play what can be expected of them in the future." (Winnipeg Free Press, 8/10/11)
At 6'3", 205 pounds, Bogosian has tremendous upside and talent. Problem is, he hasn't shown it as much as Doughty or Schenn. That may be in part to playing three seasons in Atlanta with two different coaches and possibly not getting his feet under him properly. Looking at Doughty and Schenn, they both have not had coaching changes and have been entrusted with being a go-to defenseman on their respective teams.
In 2010-11, Bogosian ranked third in ice time among Atlanta Thrashers defenceman, collecting five goals and 12 assists in 71 games. And he was a minus 27 on a Thrashers team that was in the playoff race for much of the season.
Either the Jets can sign Bogosian to a one-year deal to see what his worth is as a defenseman and if he can produce Doughty or Schenn-like numbers at 21. Or the Jets can take a chance and sign him to a long-term deal and hope he pans out.
But with the demeanor of Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, a short-term deal will likely be in order for the former third overall pick in 2008. With fellow defensenen such as Doughty picked 2nd overall, Alex Pietrangelo 4th overall, and Luke Schenn 5th overall. He was also followed by Tyler Myers at 12th overall, Michael del Zotto at 20th overall, and John Carlson at 27th overall, Bogosian's stock could garner him a big pay check if he can get his play up to that of his peers.
With Myers, Carlson, del Zotto, and Pietrangelo all in the last years of their entry level contracts could cash in and it could be a good indicator of Bogosian's contract if he signs a one year deal. Then again, Doughty's and Schenn's deal this summer could also indicate how Bogosian's contract could play out this summer if he were to be signed long-term.
Whether or not the contract is signed as of now or not, Bogosian has expressed excitement over playing in the Manitoban capital.
On playing in Winnipeg, Bogosian told the Winnipeg Sun's Kirk Penton, "Sometimes (it was tough in Atlanta), especially when you played against teams like Toronto or Pittsburgh,"
"They had more fans in the stands than we did. It was tough, but you have to know it's your job to go out there and give it your best." he added.
"Any time you get a crowd behind you it helps you out so much. When you come out and the place is packed it's like having an extra player out there. It gives you that much more momentum and enthusiasm to play."
For the record, I like Bogosian and would love to have him as a prospect on my team (Oilers), but I think when he is compared to Doughty and Schenn at this point it is more because of contractual similarities than talent or level-of-play comparables. Bogosian might achieve the level of play to be mentioned alongside Schenn or Doughty, but even those two players aren't really comparable. Schenn is becoming a dependable defensive player with some good puck-moving and play-making identifying skills. Doughty is developing more along the lines of a Rob Blake, that is an offensive producer who isn't a defensive liability. Bogosian doesn't appear, as yet, to headed in either specific direction but has the potential, at this point, to become one or the other.
The most likely development for Bogosian I see, career-wise, is that he becomes a hard-hitting, offensively-minded, defender who works best when someone is standing behind him to cover his bets. Perhaps a Phaneuf comparison would be closer, I'm not sure. At this point in his development I'd say that the most important factor is coaching, and in that regard he is in excellent hands with Charlie Huddy.
Hi Matt, Nice simple article. I really like Bogosian too and my chiropractor cannot stop talking about him. But let's face it, despite being on a weak-ish but improving team (for the most part) in Atlanta, he average 20 points a season and -11 if you look at simple statistics only and until NHL GMs all consider things like corsi statistics, goal differential, etc then this paints Bogosian as perhaps a $2M/year guy. His previous entry-level contract was artificially inflated by signing bonuses given to top draft choices but he's not Doughty or even Schenn yet. P.S. As ex-Winnipegger who left the Winnipeg shortly after the nasty Jets-Winnipeg divorce I am super-pleased to see the Peg get their a well-deserved NHL team.

Skip to comments.The Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Show Thread - Monday, May 14, 2012
Posted on 05/14/2012 8:44:29 AM PDT by IMissPresidentReagan
AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and hes not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (thats Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! Americas anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to dothats host. Get ready to what you were born to dothats listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
go look at the pga moneylist
Anyway, to change the subject:
How 'bout that Newsweek cover? Even the lib co-workers here are scandalized.
Yep that's what I thought. Same with the Romney zots were like that.
Went to look for a replacement for Clint Jr's Mustang, he decided on a used F-150 King Ranch. I think he's gone total redneck :o(
It's child porn, nothing less.
And Eric Holder is just fine with it.
So Mark Davis, Rubio isn't good enough. Sarah Palin wasn't good enough. In other words, the only "one" good enough is an establishment elite? WELL.... THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!! you moron
JMHO, he's the single best case for FR to add an IGNORE function and yes, I missed the threads; No, I'm not going back to review or second guess any decisions got made.
JR's running the game, and if there's too many causes for me to want that IGNORE, maybe I'll just have to take whatever slight talents I bring to a different place.
(Cripes, first I get Davis subbing for Rush and then get to listen to this stuff......)
1 Bubba Watson 9 $3,204,778.00
2 Hunter Mahan 10 $3,109,087.50
3 Rory McIlroy 6 $2,996,000.00

5 Phil Mickelson 11 $2,629,153.30
6 Rickie Fowler 13 $2,461,253.80
Re: No Rush today. Mark Davis hosts.
Ugh!! Total waste of time.
Not the Time cover, the Newsweek cover of a rainbow-haloed Obama.
I think the MSM rags are trying to outdo each other in shock value.
Everyone is equal except some are more equal than others.
Sorry, how could I possibly get those two rags confused? /s
If BJ Clinton could be the first "black" president then why is this a stretch for your libtard coworkers?
At the least somebody ought to tell Michelle...
that is an excellent choice cause the King version is really like the 3/4 ton in 1/2 ton clothes....
I still say MOOchelle is wither a tranny or merely a beard!
not bad for 5 months work huh
Rush Limbuagh, in pity, gives up his radio slot, to hasbeen, Mark Davis.
true... why is he in a pity???
If the truth be told, even the "libs" around here are not comfortable with SSM. They really think this will hurt Obama in November.
Seminar caller alert!
Then the kids must be adopted.
OMG get this Sodomite off the phone...
Sleeper fag alert! I can tell that this dude is all for control, as long as they fit his preferences. The only reason for him to make those arguments, is because he thinks that some can be controled.
Get this queer off the phone or I'm shutting off this horrible show!
That ain't near to being acceptable. Not even as an attempt at humor.
....just got that line stuck up my nose too many times already, so I do believe that I'll just sit back, lurk for a bit and think a bit so's I don't go off half-cocked.
Hey fag, you are right, marriage between fags is as evil as abortion.
HE wouldn't let Mark Davis adopt a child because he's a "bigot"?
Boy, do the claws come out when you don't let these little nazis have their way!
20% of children raised by Sodomites become homosexual when they are only 2% of the population.
Why are they all so angry?
Hey fag, quit talking about hypocracy and equality when you are all for controlling others based on your preferences. When you can learn to think, maybe you can learn to become emotionally and mentally healthy some day.
They are all so angry because they know that they are living a lie and in ANY case where that lie is not blindly accepted, they know that they are seen for what they are. They must browbeat their detractors and get society to aid them in their mob behaviour. If they are not successful, then they can not hide what they KNOW is their own evil nature.
They know they are living lies and sin, that they are acting against their own nature. If not, then they would not fight to became "parents" via adoption.
Moral Relativism on full display.
Is it me or is the entire Democrat platform the Anti-Ten Commandments?
They must deny God and his commanded morals. If they do not, then they can not assume to be the gods over nature and over us!
Up to post 501 on that other thread...and all I can say is...I have not seen so much arse kissing toward a total idiot, since Obammys last press conference! GEEZUZ!
And I am only reading this drivvle because Rush has another idiot sitting in for him...and I know understand fully why mark Davis lost his own radio program)
Mark Davis is actually making a pretty good argument against Sodomite "marriage".
Color me pink...
Pretending to play house is a copy mechanism.
Otherwise their perversion eats at their soul.
I'm just readin the thread.....I will not listen to this POS
Hey Sodomite caller you don't need a civil union.
Mark completely missed this callers point, which is not surprising to me.
I know ya ain't gonna shoot anything but I'll bet a breakfast you got a bullet in your hand
I tuned him out long ago in the program...I am so sick to death of the homo agenda and the incessent attention it gets in the media...MEANWHILE we have men and women in harms way and TRAITORS in DC leaking information......AND an economy that sucks....and and and........Love ya like a brother Clint, but I have no time for queers or discussion of same on the radio or TV :-)
See ya in the lounge later.....
I agree, I am single and I was able to ensure that I can leave my estate to whomever I want.....
I used Davis to get an important corespondence done and out.

I am a great believer in repurposing. I cut forlorn sweaters up to make mittens and I hoard old shoeboxes in my basement in the hopes of identifying future uses.
I am also a big believer in canning, but it is a skill I have failed to nurture in myself. I make delicious tomato chutney every summer and, very occasionally, jam. But wrestling bushels of vegetables into neat glass jars is beyond me.
Nonetheless, I delight in all the Mason jars and canning accessories that appear in the stores late summer, marking the fleeting weeks of abundance here in Canada.
I use large Mason jars to store my dry ingredients (sugar, rice, nuts, etc.) and have designed my kitchen drawers with this in mind. I love the wide mouths and the easy access of the jars, not to mention the uniformity, the low cost and the squeaky clean-ness when they come out of the dishwasher.
(NB. It seems I am not alone in my love of Mason jars: see here for 31 ways to use a Mason jar in your kitchen.)
I was thrilled, the other day, to find two clever new Mason jar add-ons that substantially increase the range of possible uses for my smaller jars.
The first is the cuppow. This is a slightly raised plastic (BPA free) insert that replaces the disc lid of your Mason jar and turns it into a drinking cup. Just screw it on and you have a convenient on-the-go cup.
The cuppow comes in two sizes to fit widemouth (76mm) or regular (60mm) Mason jars. It does not close completely so cannot withstand really bumpy rides, but does a great job if you want to sip a drink in the car, for example.
I don't love the feel of the drinking rim/spout, but I am very fussy in that regard and like really thin edges to my mugs (see my earlier recommendation for vacuum mugs). It retails for $8. The price seems a little steep as there is not a lot to the product, but it is US-made and claims to be recyclable plastic.
The second option is the reCAP, which entirely replaces your Mason lid, both disc and screw collar. It is a fully close-able pouring/drinking spout for your jars. I prefer the way this feels on my lips, but it does present a large (about quarter-sized) round hole which might be a bit abrupt for hot drinks on the go (though great for gloopy things like smoothies if you want to grab these as you head out of the house).
It could also be used to turn a Mason jar of any size into a pouring dispenser, for example for sugar, rice or liquid honey. Its founding purpose, according to the website, was to turn a jar into a salad dressing dispenser. You can shake away and still pour with ease.
The reCAP is also BPA free and made in the US. It retails for $7-$7.50.
Both are available in Canada from a neat eco product site called Greenmunch (I should mention that they did send me free samples of both products after I enquired about them). Greenmunch also specializes in hard-to-find paper straws, another alternative to the glass straws I wrote about in the early days of my site.

Orb: Florida Derby winner rallied from the rear to claim Kentucky DerbyPICTURE: EquiSport Photos/Jessie Holmes
Well-fancied Orb makes Kentucky his home
Report: USA, Saturday
Churchill Downs: Kentucky Derby (Grade 1) 1m2f, dirt, 3yo
THE heavily fancied Orb (Shug McGaughey/Joel Rosario), a sentimental favourite in his trainer's home state, landed a hugely popular victory at a mud-splattered Churchill Downs with a come-from-behind success in the Kentucky Derby.
With late money ensuring he was sent off the 5.4-1 favourite, the Florida Derby winner was kept well out of a ridiculous pace in the early stages by his Dubai World Cup-winning jockey before circling the field to hit the front a furlong out.
He went on to claim America's greatest race by two and a half lengths in a time of 2m02.89s on a surface officially described as sloppy. The crowd figure was a massive 151,616, despite filthy conditions.
Rank outsider Golden Soul finished to good effect to take second in the $2.2 million event, just ahead of Revolutionary, Normandy Invasion and Mylute.
All the principals came from well off the pace in a race where Irish contender Lines Of Battle ran respectably enough under Ryan Moore to come seventh on his dirt debut.
Orb, a son of Malibu Moon, scored just once in four starts as a juvenile before really blossoming as a three-year-old with a hat-trick at Gulfstream Park for much respected trainer McGaughey, a Kentucky native renowned for his patience and horsemanship.
Although he was admitted to the US Hall of Fame nine years ago, McGaughey (pronounced 'Moo-Gay-He') hasn't had a Derby runner since 2002 and had had only six previous runners altogether, doing best with the great Easy Goer, second to his arch-rival Sunday Silence in 1989.
"Means everything to me," said an emotional McGaughey, whose formal name is Claude R McGaughey III. "I've always dreamed of this day and it finally came. Thrilled for the people who put in so much time on this horse, and of course I'm thrilled for me."
McGaughey trains Orb for longstanding patrons Stuart Janney and Ogden Mills 'Dinny' Phipps, old-school scions of the American turf. The pair, prominent members of the Phipps racing empire, are cousins; six generations of their family have been involved in the sport, without ever winning the Kentucky Derby.
Winning jockey Rosario, who is in the form of his life, regained the ride on Orb only when the colt's Florida Derby partner John Velazquez plumped for Verrazano, thought to be the most highly rated of trainer Todd Pletcher's quintet, although his stablemate Revolutionary was sent off nearly favourite under Calvin Borel.
"It's like living a dream," said Rosario, who comes from the Dominican Republic. "I was so far behind and I just let him be calm and let him be relaxed and he was available to do it all."
Third-placed Revolutionary fared much better than his Pletcher-trained stable companions, the remainder of whom were all trounced with Charming Kitten (ninth), Overanalyze (11th), Palace Malice (12th) and Verrazano (14th).
Ridden by Mike Smith, Palace Malice was responsible for the insanely fast early fractions that proved the undoing of all those close to the pace, leaving the race open for those, like Orb, who came with a late rally.

I got gas
Driving to work this morning, I see numerous gas stations with pricing for unleaded gas as high as $3.399/gallon, until I get to one of my new favorite places, Jetz on Hwy 100 & Forest Home, which had posted a cash price of $3.259/gallon. Though I didn't need gas, per se, I did have money in my pocket and decided to pull in. Musings are below, in the order of occurence...
- Jetz has a rewards program (like Speedway, but different) in which you swipe your tag after paying. (Side note; My favorite reward is a free carwash with a 30 gallon purchase in a month. I get that one every month). But one thing I don't like about the program is that each pump has a speaker attached that is a constant advertisement while you are pumping gas. Today, that speaker was either not working or had the volume turned down. "This", said I, "will be a good day".
- As I am pumping, next to me a van pulls up, the driver gets out with the van running, and starts to pump gas. Besides the fact that fueling into a running vehicle is a no-no, I've now got this 20-year old Ford Econoline rattling and shaking and belching out some gawdawful fumes (and making a whole lot of noise.) I am thinking the driver left it running because it might not start up again. But it made me wonder - why does every Econoline last about 40 years, but only run well the first two? Have you ever seen one that idles well?
- Another Jetz special is a 20 oz coffee and a sweet roll for $1.59 with a rewards tag. I treat myself to this once (or twice, if I need gas during the week). They also offer a cinnamon roll to all guests before 8:30 AM. Because of the cinnamon roll offering, I try to get a croissant for my coffee, but on this day, they are out (again). I grab a free cinnamon roll and also a donut with my hazelnut coffee. But they really need to order more croissants on Fridays.
- I am now in line to pay for my gas-n-grub, and both tellers are working with customers cashing and buying lottery tickets... and it may as well have been the same customer in each line. They each have a stack of tickets for the cashier to check, each wins a few bucks (between $10 and $20), each make some stupid comment about "finally being a winner", then each are standing over the scratch-off display picking one of these, one of these, and one of these... and each have to dig back into their pockets because their spree went beyond their winnings.
- My purchases came to $25.58... and I had exact change! Yowza!
- On my way out, I see four or five people in line at the Subway restaurant inside the building. I know Subway has been open before 7:00 AM for a year or so, but I've never seen so many people in line. I guess the $5 footlongs are timeless.
- Back in my car, I look at the gas gauge and it occurs to me... I just spent my bowling league money for the night. Good thing that little blue card in my wallet has an unlimited supply of funds (as long as I beat My-Sugar-Na to it).
- It's Friday (Good!)
- I am on my way to work (Bad!)
This, my friends, is my life in a nutshell.

Reasonable Expectations: The Rookies
July 31 2010 10:40AM
This post begins my annual "reasonable expectations" series. Since there are several wrtiers on Oilers Nation, I'm going to condense all of the players into 5 articles. We begin with the sensational rookies.
I'll post my projected boxcars, but it is more important to discuss possible roles for each player. If a prospect has only one role (Schremp skillset) then there's every chance said player will have a season filled with stops and starts. It's like a freeway at rush hour: 120 clicks one minute, dead stop the next. It is also important to factor in draft position, age, and the previous level for each player. The heralded rookies (Hall, Pääjärvi, Eberle) give us a nice range of age and experience (or lack thereof), and we'll have to see which of them responds to specific roles.
A note about "reasonable" expectations. Below, you will read my estimates on what is reasoonable for each player to deliver. Every year I've done this, there are a few comments that go like this: "you're a dummy, (X player) is way better than that and I talked to Kevin Lowe at Costco and he said that he's a strong candidate for the top line." Okay, deep breath. This is not an attempt to find the outer marker, this is not an attempt to ruin your day or your summer; it is an attempt to draw a line in the sand that we can agree is reasonable in terms of role, approx. minutes and boxcars. Why do it? Well, sometimes a player exceeds expectations and it is nice to have a starting point to refer to after the fact. And sometimes, a player delivers exactly what you think he will and still gets bought out, leaving you wondering about life.
- L Taylor Hall: All of his arrows are pointing in the right direction. 1st overall pick means he's going to get a major boost from the hockey club (Hall isn't going to Team Canada's world junior camp this summer, making him ineligible for the Christmas team. How would it look for Hall to be playing in Windsor and not attending the World Juniors? He's an NHL player now on paper, and only because the games haven't started yet). I think we can reasonably expect him to see more minutes than Steven Stamkos did as a rookie (15 minues a night) because the Oilers are so weak on LW. Hall's Desjardins' NHLE projections are in lock step with Stamkos, but I've nicked him a little. Why? He'll probably end up with lesser numbers (9 PP markers for the Lightning star as a rookie). I believe the last Oiler rookie to score 9 powerplay goals in a season was David Oliver (10 in half a season, 95-96), and although Hall is obviously the best Oiler prospect in ages it isn't likely he's going to spend the season on the 1PP. If he does, then bump this projection. As it is, I suspect he'll play on the 1line, 2line, 3line, 4line and even spend a night or two in the pressbox. It takes time. Reasonable boxcars: 74gp, 20-20-40, 16 minutes a night and he plays on every line. He will get more PP minutes than the other two rookies and because of it will lead the group on scoring. Confidence is a huge deal for any #1 pick, and this kid seems to have a lot of it. He'll need it.
- W Magnus Pääjärvi. He has some advantages over the other two high end prospects. He played in the SEL at age 18 (17:25 a night), took 160 shots and enjoyed a +14 (38-24) plus minus. Before last season, defenseman Victor Hedmann said of him: "He can play physical, he's big and strong. I don't see anything that can stop him from playing on the smaller rinks." His splits are interesting (first 25gp: 7-9-16 -1; last 24gp, 5-8-13 +15) and he is often mentioned as being a "man" already in terms of physical development. Redline Report suggested he might have been ready a year ago, I think he not only makes the team but spends extended time on the top 2 lines and even gets some PP minutes. Reasonable boxcars: 66gp, 13-18-31 on 14 minutes per game. Although he is more physically mature than Hall, there's going to be a gap in terms of where he should be on the ice and where he'll be drawn to; I think he might earn the trust of the coaching staff down the line, but this season will be a learning curve much like the one described above (in regard to Hall). I don't think he'll approach Hall's boxcars, but should say most of the shortfall will come due to different opportunities. Hall is extremely likely to get the push.
- C-R Jordan Eberle. I confess: when Craig MacTavish speaks, I listen. MacT: "he's just a playmaking machine, and he's going to be very good." For his part Eberle flourished when given yet another chance on the world stage (WHC's). He's 20 years old and arriving in the NHL with a lot of hype (a tremendous amount considering draft pedigree). He has an advantage over the other fine prospects in terms of age and leadership role. He's also a cerebral offensive talent, you can see it pretty much every time he's on the ice. Reasonable boxcars: 72gp, 12-17-29 on 15 minutes a night (with several on the PK). Jordan Eberle sees the game extremely well, and I think it might end up landing him a job as an NHL center down the line. For now, he'll be on the same NHL rollercoaster as Hall and Pääjärvi, although it is possible he sees extended time on the PK (depending on whether or not ST signs someone in August or September).
- D Theo Peckham. Wreckum is waiver eligible, and on a rebuilding team that needs grit and a mean spirited sort, he should find an NHL home if he performs well in camp. Injuries are a concern, and all rookie defensemen look overwhelmed at times. Peckham has those issues, but I think there's a player here. This should be his season to make the grade. Reasonable boxcars: 51gp, 0-8-8 with 5-6D minutes. With most defensemen the boxcars don't tell half of the story, and in Peckham's case it wll be less than that. If he's reading plays and reacting at speed by Valentine's Day, we'll have a player.
- L Linus Omark. He'll play in the NHL this season (is my guess), but it is hard to get him onto the opening night roster. Omark's age and skills suggest he's probably close to being able to help at the NHL level, but his skill range means a top 6 role on the big club is the goal (and the only real role). Tough to do. If he makes it, Omark could trump the kids offensively. He looks unreal. Reasonable boxcars: 46gp, 10-8-18. He could win the Calder. Seriously.
- C Ryan O'Marra. I wouldn't have him on the list, but the Oilers remain high on him. He has size and has expressed a willingness to play a checking role, but I don't see him bringing enough offense to the NHL. I doubt he'll survive, but do believe O'Marra will be given a chance this season. Reasonable boxcars: 30gp, 2-2-4. Lots of time on the penalty-kill and plenty of minutes in his own zone. Anton Lander can't get here fast enough.
- G Devan Dubnyk. In his final 10 NHL games last season, Devan Dubnyk's save percentage was .912. The Oilers goaltending situation is up in the air currently and Dubnyk is well positioned to take advantage of it. Lacking JDD's acrobatic (and inconsistent) style, Dubnyk showed very well in those final 10 games and a strong training camp may move him up the depth chart. Reasonable boxcars: 20gp, 3.12 .901, and if Khabibulin's case blows up then double the starts.
- D Alex Plante. Plante begins a group of 5 names on this list who should be "cup of coffee/injury callup" options. Plante looked good in his brief appearance last season and that probably earned him another look sometime in 2010-11. Reasonable boxcars: 10gp, 0-1-1. I like his progress and his calm feet, and he is the one defender who could arrive quickly on the rookie list.
- C Chris Vande Velde. A nice range of skills married to size make Vande Velde a candidate for NHL playing time. He is also a little older than most on the list and will be an everyday player in Oklahoma City. His position (Center) is among the weakest on the big league roster, so the tumblers could break right for him Reasonable boxcars: 6gp, 0-1-1 and it'll be interesting to see how much PK time he gets in pre-season.
- D Jeff Petry. I may have him too low on the list, but the train wreck that has been Taylor Chorney's adjustment to pro hockey serves as fair warning to the organization. Petry does have a wider range of skills and the Oilers have always been very high on him. Reasonable boxcars: 4gp, 0-1-1, and if he has a strong training camp you never know.
- L Teemu Hartikainen. Big Finn has progressed very well, and should he continue to do so I can see him getting some time in the NHL. Is unique on this list due to size and grit, and his ability to drive to high traffic areas will show well with the coaches. Reasonable boxcars: 1gp, 0-0-0 and a strong season in Oklahoma City.
- R Colin McDonald. Not strictly speaking an Oiler player at this time (he signed a minor league deal), I can see the Oilers calling him up because they don't have a lot of players with his skills (checking). Should they sign a Pisani type then McDonald's door to the NHL closes (barring injury). Reasonable boxcars: 1gp, 0-0-0 and he'll need to improve offensively to avoid a European vacation in 2011-12.
So, to reiterate, I'm not saying Jordan Eberle won't score 20 goals in 2010-11. I'm saying it is reasonable to expect--considering all things including the competition both old and new--that he will play most of the season in the NHL and score one dozen goals. If he passes that total, we can agree that Jordan Eberle exceeded expectations. Again.
Great job, LT. I am hoping that some players exceed their limits. Surprises and disappointments abound with young players. My dark horse is VV, if we do not pick-up another center.
By the way........FIST!!!
Great post LT, I'd place Hall SLIGHTLY higher (I think under 45 points if he gets significant top line time would be a little disappointing for me), but it all looks great.
It's important for us to make note of the growing pains to be expected. Assuming Hall is part of the top 6 (I see it as Hall, Penner, Horcoff, Gagner, Hemsky and either Brule or Cogliano at first blush), Eberle or Paajarvi getting more than 30 points at the NHL level is very impressive, if not likely.
I'm hoping for a couple vet signings (Halpern and Fedotenko please!) to compose a 3rd line with Eberle as he learns the ropes MacT style (learning his own end of the NHL ice first), while Paajarvi can get used to North American ice in Oklahoma. He IS still only 19, it won't hurt in the least.
LT...I am actually excited about this season! This reminds me of the first 2 years in the NHL, when we had a bunch of unknown kids coming to play here. Lots of mistakes, but enthusiasm and speed all around. Now if it can turn out to be half as good as that crew.....( Mild wood at the memory)
Who are the 2 fastest of the kids? Hall and MP?
July 31 2010, 11:24AM
What do you think of the chance they move Hall to C to allow MPS and Eberle to get more premium time on the wings? Seeing as it is a rebuild/low expectation year might it be wise to see if he can? Also, am I incorrect or did Hall play C on the WJ team?
Where do you see the lines ending up?
I know it's unreasonable, but I'd really like to see Hall/Horcoff split time in the #1 C line (depending on strength of opposition, starting zone...)
Also, how do you see the PP and PK units ending up?
Great read as always!
Oilers will have to sign Mcdonald for him to be able to play in the NHL no? If he doesnt have a Linglet-lite season, i doubt oil call him up!
@Reijo Ruotsalainen's wicked slapper
I dont think Oilers should do that. Its hard for a player to go from juniors to NHL, and then to make him switch in his rookie season is foolhardy.
Lt, i really think your lowballing Eberle, and highballing O'mark. I believe O'mark doesn't play a single game in the NHL this year, and Eberle gets the Calder and ends up with 58 points. I could also see O'marra playing about 50 games this year because Horcoff's shoulder is made of pussy. And i do hope Renney play all the rookies on one line so they can gel. I know people are thinking that they need some vets on their lines because they are so young and inexpereiced but these guys are special. They seem so mature for their age and suceed at every level.
Picking some nits:
I would say O'Marra gets 15 gamnes. They like him, and he has embraced the checking role, but he nees to learn it more.
DD gets 30 games. He is either the backup to Bulin or shares with JDD. Any three headed monster will be slayed by Christmas.
July 31 2010, 11:45AM
Omark is the one I am excited about. He reminds me of a more physical Comrie and that is not a bad thing. I think he will have a career.
July 31 2010, 12:18PM
I really think Hall's numbers will top the Stamkos/Tavares comparisons. First of all I think they will because he'll be put in a position to play top 6 minutes with better players than Tavares played with, and I think he's more physically mature than Stamkos was as a rookie. Of course Stamkos made a giant leap in his second season and it's too far ahead to predict if Hall will be at that level by then.
I just expect something more like 55 points. 65 wouldn't even shock me.
I like your picks there LT I don't really think your putting much emphasis's on the numbers. Your putting more emphasis on there ability to contribute, but one thing. For Eberle and Paajarvi they either earn a top 6 role over players like Horcoff, and Brule or get sent to the minors. They could both benefit a bit more getting top line minutes down in the AHL with Giroux. Let them dominate with him in Okalahoma and bring them up when injuries arise, or some bodies are moved at the deadline. I don't see any point to putting Eberle or Paajarvi on the 3rd or 4th line. But that's just me I could be totally wrong I'm sure someone will clue me in if I am.
July 31 2010, 12:37PM
I know this is Oilersnation, but the Eskimos have called a news conference for 1 p.m. where it's expected they will announce a significant firing. TEAM 1260 will be covering the event live with Jason Gregor and Corey Graham, so tune in then to get all the details.
I expect Hall, Omark, Svensson and Eberle to way exceed your expectations . Don't lowball them when only Hall is the only rookie thats come out of junior this season . The other three have already shown proficiency at higher levels than junior elite to begin with lets remember !! My expectations for the four of them is much higher , and i believe for good reasons .
July 31 2010, 01:01PM
@Robin Brownlee
So nice to see Maciocia finally fired.
Gregor and company have confirmed this.
I can't wait to see how Paajarvi looks this season. IMO he is going to be better then Hall or Eberle.
I think eberle will shred it up on the new kid line (2nd line)
July 31 2010, 01:44PM
This is great.... Wait I can throw out random numbers and predictions. Paajarvi is probably more ready for the NHL since he has played against men but he played on Euro ice. If Hall doesn't play first line power play, what are the numbers going to look like playing second power play with less talented team mates ? Whom ever gets the chances to play with Penner and Hemsky will get the points ( WOW). @Robin Thanks for the tip Eskimos. I wish they were all fired, god they suck. I was hoping they were going to announce a forfeit of the season! First the Oil not the Esks!!!!!!!!!!
July 31 2010, 02:03PM
At the risk of splitting hairs, isn't 40 points setting the bar low for Taylor Hall?
Tavares, Duchene, Ryan, and several other top rookies since the lockout have posted significantly higher totals than you've projected for Hall.
My expectations for Hall are 26G 29A & 1 K.O
Who's a better skater Gagner or Eberle? And can someone tell me who owns Northlands?
Great read, keep up the good work!
Whatever happens this season, it should prove to have the best crop of rookies since MIKE GRIER, REM MURRAY, and TODD MARCHANT.
What, did you think I was going to say GAGNER, COGS, and NILSSON.
Come to think of it, the 2010 crop will be challenged to compete with the 1997 Star Killers.
Interesting tidbit. Georges Laraque named deputy leader of The Green Party of Canada. As per their website.
July 31 2010, 04:50PM
Well put, In terms of reasonable expectations 40pts for Hall is about right. Stamkos is a good comparable also but I'd expect Edmonton to be more competitive than Tampa was if healthy.
My expectations/comparables lean towards the highest avg & a PP1 of Hall Penner Hemsky
40 reasonable
40-50 Good?
50-60 Above expectations?
60+ Calder!
Considering Hall's played 100 + games the last few seasons the Oilers shouldn't pile on his minutes, 15mpg is fair.
I do see him on the PK at times with Horcoff.
Hall 11PP/10EV/5PK&empty net (combined)
July 31 2010, 05:34PM
Why is it Oilers-related bloggers, who have never seen Petry play, rate him so low?
July 31 2010, 05:36PM
Then again, if he is American and played collegiate hockey, it's only fitting for him to be compared to Chorney, even though they are different players in skill and style.
Jeff Petry is definitely a guy I've been excited about for a while. It's tough to rank him because, no, not many of us Oil fans would have seen him much, or at all. I've seen him a few games this year and was pretty impressed, although the College game is definitely a completely different one than the NHL (obviously). So I'm not sure how well some of what he does will translate, but I was particularly impressed with his puck carrying skills, as well as his meanness in front of the net (at least this was in the games that I saw).
I'm pretty anxious to see him in our line up. If we're talking about "right now" ranking, well, I don't think LT is far off at all... or at least off enough that an adjustment is required. But if we're talking long-term potential ranking, well I'd put Petry as high as #4 among our prospects, which is pretty damn good considering the 3 obvious choices above him.
I hope that is a good assessment on my part!
July 31 2010, 07:23PM
wow, Lowetide's "reasonable expectations" aren't very high are they? i hope to gawd that the numbers for Hall, MPS, and Eberle are better than that.
July 31 2010, 08:42PM
Something tells me that Eberle is going to be the best of the bunch this year (not necessarily for the year after that). I just think that there's more in store than 12 goals for him this season. He's got the most experience, he's clutch, and he's got the most offensive IQ. My money is on Jordan.
July 31 2010, 09:51PM
How much money did we sign gumby for? I see he got a one year deal.
Hey LT,
I've been reading you for a while now, and while I'm not usually a big commenter, that douche calling you out prompted me to pipe up and tell you that I appreciate what you do. As an Oil fan in decidedly non-Oil country (Ottawa), I'm left with just the interwebs for my (almost) daily fix, and you're usually my first stop.
Thanks, man.
Aaaand...I posted that in the wrong thread. Read that as "...that douche calling you out in THAT OTHER thread", and the gratitude still applies.
If we're talking reasonable expectations, I think you're setting O'Marra's GP number a bit high.
I think most people(fans and in the org) would consider his season a success if he can get in 10 NHL games and some PB time. For him to get 31 games would be a coup considering how far back he is right now.
Unless that GP number is more of an indication on the Oilers 10/11 reasonable expectations (indicating a very low bar....)
I know this is Oilersnation, but the Eskimos have called a news conference for 1 p.m. where it's expected they will announce a significant firing. TEAM 1260 will be covering the event live with Jason Gregor and Corey Graham, so tune in then to get all the details.
LeLacheur next Oiler President and GM ? Rick has always been a better hockey man than football man to be honest . He has his pulse on Edmonton fans and will not be satisfied without making those at highest position in organization take full responsibility for failed results . Katz does not have to look far for a replacement if he chooses to do so . Needless to say Lelacheur would be beneficial on Katz side , when it comes to his arena project as well .
How long would it take for Lelacheur to wield the axe if Tams and company fail to fill the voids left for this years team if they are left unfilled again going into this year ? I doubt Rick would have waited this long to be honest . We have voids yet to be filled adequately ,like last season , with a cast who have not done an admiral job taking advantage of the marketplace . Under Rick's direction i believe that scenario would change rapidly !
Just my sentiments , but i believe Rick would be perfect as the next GM and President for the Oilers .
August 01 2010, 08:16AM
Gotta say I had a double take @ Omark
"46gp, 10-8-18. He could win the Calder. Seriously."
The Oilers finially have options so who knows...
August 01 2010, 08:27AM
Not sure if anyone already posted this but the Oilers have signed Jeff Deslauriers to a 1.05M/ 1 year contract. According to Ryan Rishaug
Love the post LT!!! And wow isn't it nice to have a bunch of top flight prospects!!! My money's on Eberle, but that Hall kid is gonna be good to. The only thing I hate about summer, can we get on with hockey yet?
@Wanyes bastard child
How much money did we sign gumby for? I see he got a one year deal.
The Deslauriers contract terms... 1 yr, $1.05M
...via Ryan Rishaug
Oilers once again, with more firepower, are set up for three offensive lines and a makeshift(one) checking line . It's not going to be two offensive and two shutdown lines . Each offensive line will have to be responsible defensively on their own accords .
With that top nine in mind might we see twosomes develop like : OMark and Svensson . Eberle and Hall . Penner and Hemsky . Now who will be the fillins to those three twosomes ? Now where does that leave Gagner , Brule and Cogliano - certainy not a fourth line shutdown role . Where does Horcoff, etc . fit in ?
How much longer can we continuously ignor the backend problems ? We have remarkable talent on the front end and very limited ,just the opposit on back end . Plenty of work to be done yet on backend if we hope to avoid the basement again ! In fact , i'd say we are far worse on backend than even last year if Souray is to go and no new upgrated acquisitions acquired .

I think our rear guards would look just fine if the TambLoweKatz can get past their issues with Souray! Why does every one on the Oiligoshere think that is a non-starter?
I, for one, think that we have a very good defensive corps if we aren't forced to do some thing stupid like pay Souray to leave (in one form or another).

Maybe biggest stumbling block to Oilers moving forward is Horcoff and his cap hit compared to his real value now and in the future ? Maybe a valuable buyout might be more advantageous in the long and short run ? Souray at trade deadline might also be advantageous come deadline time as well . Hopefully, we are not going to wait for those contracts to expire before moving forward with our young guns and prospects . They need help now , not two or more years from now . Although, i feel, if any might be worth his contract figure it would be a happy , healthy Souray .
Lesson learned ? Don't overpay or suffer the consequences and inflexability of them far into the future . There is a lot of young talent we might once again destroy if they do not clear out some of those contracts that prevent us from moving adequately forward ! Bulin another albatross that might be subject to, buyout .
August 01 2010, 10:49AM
Very interesting article, Lowetide! To me, one of the great things of summer is being able to look at the future of your roster and think about where everyone is going to fit, and who will be the stars of the team in the future...and who might not work out. It's all speculation but I do thank you for your look into this. I want to offer up my look at this, as well.
I think Chris VandeVelde is going to win the battle for a spot at center right now. I know that we may bring in a veteran, or one of the other kids could beat him out for it, but I like his chances best. I do look forward to the day when Hartikainen plays here but to me he is going to need some more time developing in the AHL first, especially for his style of play. VV has 3 more years of development on him, at 23 years old, and just looks ready to me when I saw him at Development Camp. The reason I am comparing him to Hartikainen so much here is because I believe that he is the next best option for the position if Tyler Pitlick is given another year to develop in juniors.
Ryan O'Marra I just don't believe will do anything on the big club this year. I hope he proves me wrong and finally turns it all around but it has been a long, long fall for the former first round pick. I fully understand your reasoning for him getting time with the Oilers, but I don't believe that he will give enough even considering the Oilers' willingness for him to take a roster spot.
I'm actually looking forward to what VV can do on the big club this year and I hope that the Oilers do not bring in veteran help this year at his position for that reason. Now that said his development is NOT going to be hurt by spending this year on the farm, but if I was to guess right now then I will say that he makes it this year. My prediction: 56gp 5-7-12...in a checking line role with a respectable face-off percentage, too (but don't ask me to predict that!;)
Minor typo, 'imoportant', just thought I'd point it out LT.
wow, Lowetide's "reasonable expectations" aren't very high are they? i hope to gawd that the numbers for Hall, MPS, and Eberle are better than that.
Thats why they're *reasonable* expectations... not overly-inflated, delusional fan expecations.
August 02 2010, 02:02AM
I think that all this speculation is rather pointless at this point. These players will all develop in due course. It will be a function of how much preparation, maturity, talent and organizational development is in play. The bottom line is we'll see soon enough where everybody is at. At this point you can say anything about anybody but it proves nothing until the training camp and pre-season get under way. There is only one consensus 1st rounder overall in this organization and he will likely be the real deal. Everybody else has to make the team and we'll see who is who soon enough.
August 02 2010, 08:36AM
@Knobby Robby
Fair enough, but who wants to wait another two months for the season to start, or rather, AFTER the season to see how they did? For that matter, we could just wait until after they have all retired and then we'll know FOR SURE how good the players were. That way nobody will be wasting their time talking about something that might not happen. We could be checking out what's really happening right now around the world...and one can always be getting prepared for the upcoming tax season ahead of time, too.
However, some of us sports fans want to talk about it and think about what might be, yes, even without knowing how it will play out for sure. We want to talk about how the season might go - otherwise we wouldn't be here reading these articles, then commenting on them. And for the record, our first overall pick sure didn't look like he was ready when he was here for development camp. So one never knows for sure - that's what makes it so fun to predict what might be...you just never know!
So we'll see you after the Oilers have played their first game then?
August 02 2010, 10:07AM
Here are the lines the way I'd like them to start the season with: Line#1 Pens, Hemmer, Gags
Line#2 Hall, Bru, Ebs
Line#3 MPS, Horc, Omark/O'mara
LIne#4 Storts, VV, Mac/JSJ
Any thoughts?

Giving back to the community always resonates a wonderful feeling with us here at denim therapy and we're quite sure it does with you also. Which is why when we came across the Habitat for Humanity Eco- friendly denim drive, we were ecstatic to pass along the news. Just in case you weren't aware, for every 500 pairs of donated denim, Habitat for Humanity is able to fully insulate one home in the New Orleans region, for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
The denim drive first began back in 2006 when National Geographic Kids magazine asked readers to donate their old jeans. Donations, collected from retail stores, such as the Gap and Barneys were sent to cotton inc, setting a Guinness World Record by collecting 33,088 pieces. Since then Cotton Inc has received over 270,000 pieces which has insulated over 540 homes for Habitat for Humanity. So, think twice before you trash your old denim, because donating them could do a world of good.

Detailing is so cute!
"These shoes are super cute and look even better in person. I am simply returning them due to the styling in the back of the shoe, it looked a little ackward when I put them on. I would definately recommend these for anyone looking for a cute and comfortable shoe. I read all the otehr review prior to ordering, and ordered a half size up, and they fit perfectly (I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8). The bow detailing is super cute and they did look great with a pair of skinny jeans. They just weren't right for me, but the fit and qaulity were very nice and I highly recommend them."

"I listened to other reviews, so I ordered a half size larger. It was a good choice, because they fit nicely! I love the glitzy bow, it really makes a comfortable show dressy. I can tell that the leather is going to need to be worn-in to be perfectly comfortable, but since it is such great construction and leather, it shouldn't be painful."

Do you guys have any recommendations on mangas with strong female characters similar to Claymore,Black Lagoon or Kekkashi
Do you guys have any recommendations on mangas with strong female characters similar to Claymore,Black Lagoon or Kekkashi
Mahou Sensei Negima and Sekirei. They both have strong female characters but they are both ecchi.
@blueiris385: Hey fellow DB fan. If you want to try a manga that doesn't have boring intro chapters, try Fairy Tail. Trust me, it's good. Btw, Neko Majin is not really a sequel to DB, it's a parody from Akira. The real sequel to DB is coming out soon in the game, "Dragon Ball Online".
Oh, and you should definitely try One Piece. The main character of that anime was inspiried by Goku. Also, the "Wanted" by Eiichiro Oda is not a prequel to One Piece. The storyline of how Luffy obtained the gomu gomu fruit is completely different and his grandpa's not a pirate either, never was.

Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
The first 60 chapters of Katekyo Hitman Reborn is basically all filler, which introduces characters into the story and 'slowly' developes the story. It's filler isn't a must-read, but there hasn't been a single boring chapter for a looong time in Reborn now. =P
D. Gray-man is good also, I personally dropped it cause it got a bit boring.. It's about the same as Reborn, boring start but gets better later on, I think..
Give One Piece a shot if you don't mind reading 3xx chapters to catch up.. xD
666Satan has a good storyline and the characters look awesome so give it a shot.
I've watched some of the one peice anime and read the chapters that come in the Shonen monthly. I think the problem is I'm so far behind to catch up with the new chapters I can't get into quite yet. I will also give D. Grayman a try.
Sig and Ava by Imotochan
as others have said, OP, read it now!
reborn, gintama (although i think it's better watched) are must-reads too.
also watch gintama and code geass.
Black Cat and Beck definitely, and I'd say Eureka Seven but already in your list. Don't forget Angel Densetsu. It's great!
Let's see here....
Genshiken - Insight into the amazing world of otaku culture.
D.Gray-Man - Great storyline that ties in with religion and exorcists.
Death Note - Regarded by many as one of the greatest shonens of all tie with a story that will keep you guessing until the end. I'm really surprised no one mentioned it.
That's all I can think of for now.
Props to Ravona for the awesome sig! Noel is the greatest and I challenge you to prove me otherwise!
MyAnimeList MyMangaList
How'd you find Air Gear. I wanna know since I was in a group that scanlated chapters 11x to later 160s
As for a recommendation, if you're into action and flat out fighting, and not too much gore. I'd recommend WATCHING (yes I realized you wanted manga but it's just too awesome.) Hajime no Ippo, boxing + kick ass.
Back to MANGA. Since you didn't specify what types you wanted to read. (cough cough)
You can't go wrong with Pastel/Ichigo 100% both very romancy, most guys like it, I just wanna see what a girl thinks (ho ho)

It really is a magical place, no matter what the season. Perth in the summer is unbeatable... see for yourself here, here and here.
From Perth, with love xox
Wow, incredible! Your pictures and descriptions make me want to experience it! The picture of the rainbow is amazing!
The sunset is gorgeous! i can't believe you caught a picture of the half rainbow. Super pretty!
I can feel the calm jump through the picture of you walking on the beach. it sure must be hard to have a care in the world at that moment. Really must see Australia for myself one day! Just beautiful.
Heather @ Find That Warm Fuzzy Feeling
Winter in Perth looks magical indeed! The beach and the sunset is spectacular! It must be nice to escape the heat :)
If I had to travel for work, I sure wouldn't mind having to go to Chicago and it's even better if your husband joins you there on the weekends.
I hope you're enjoying your time back home sweetie! And thank you for all your support!
Rowena @ rolala loves
Absolutely stunning photos!
I remember those frosty mornings and the beautiful blue skies that followed. I miss the light in Perth and the Indian Ocean and magical sunsets of course x
Those are really wonderful photos.
loved your description, so poetic! reminds me of when i used to live in new zealand, we get so many of these mornings. those are amazing photos - might have to make a trip to perth one of these days, never been there!
I would love to visit Australia one day to see all these breathtaking views for myself. It´s so beautiful, Perth must really be a place of magic :) Hope the preparations for your sister´s wedding are going well ;)

So beautiful Hope! Glad you are enjoying being home :) Now if you could send a little of that sunshine here that would be fabulous!! xo K
Hi dear, hope you're having the most wonderful time in Australia, its isn't wonderfully strange how different winters are in different countries. Everything still looks so lush and green in Perth. The fifth image took my breath away, there is so much natural beauty that I have not seen in the world, I am glad that I got the see the serene landscapes of Oz through your blog. Have a lovely weekend!
I could only gasp in wonder at these beautiful photos. The last time I was in Perth, I was there to attend my best friend's wedding. Since I was her maid of honor, we ran around like headless chooks the entire time so I never really got to explore the place.
Hope you're having a lovely time back home! That photo with the rain bow is sensational! The mornings are crisp here too, although nothing like NYC or London. Everyone keeps saying how cold it is but once you spend winters there it feels mild in Australia!
SO I guess you are back in Ausie. Have a great time and love the pictures.
Wow this is winter? Looks amazing! Your photos are so beautiful.
Ah we do come from a beautiful, easy country. I love that second photo the most with some steam on the ground. Ah, but I do love all your photos! Have a safe trip home my dear.
Nice to know you're having fun at home... Beautiful images my dear!!!
This is beautiful. I hope you are enjoying every minute of being in Perth with your family.
oh my gosh, the ocean is such a brilliant blue.
Stunning photos and perfect blue skyies. I haven't visited Perth but we have relatives there and it certainly does look an amazing place.
Truly gorgeous! The ocean looks amazing in these pics and look at that rainbow! So lovely.
What a lovely post to remind me of beautiful Perth :) I am only checking 5 blogs while I'm away (as I can't miss them for over 4 months) & yours is of course one of them - so to stop past & see this post about our lil ole hometown was perfectly apt. Having travelled now, and only for awhile it has made me realise just how gorgeous Perth actually is. With its great little coffee spots & beautiful beaches and laid back lifestyle. I hope your time there was magical Hope & it you got in as much coffee drinking & winters sun as possible xx
Beautiful beautiful pictures!
Wow, I've never seen a blue like that Perth blue
What lovely pictures, especially the tree line :) Love your blog!
Absolutely gorgeous pictures!! They're beautiful.
Hey lovely, I would opt for winter in Perth over Canberra any day...mostly because of the water and the beach! It must have been great being back home with friends and family xoxox
Absolutely gorgeous photos!!! GORGEOUS. Wow.
Love your pictures! Love the ocean!
