President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
Hiking with kids is a great way to get them connected to the outdoors at a young age, but it can also be intimidating for the parent planner. We challenge you to get the kids in your life out on the trail this summer, because part of preserving wilderness for future generations is teaching youth to appreciate and enjoy nature. Following are ten tips to make that hike go smoothly and keep mom and dad on the kids' good side:
Earth Island Journal recently published a wide-ranging wilderness interview with Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams on their website.
An oil spill discovered a week ago continues to be examined in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on the Colorado Plateau.
Were it to become law, H.R. 1459 would add bureaucratic hurdles and arbitrary limits to the process of designating national monuments.
The budget, which further cuts funding for already cash-strapped conservation and natural resource programs, is out of step with everyday Americans who appreciate parks and public lands and see them as critical parts of our economy and our shared history as a nation.
Federal agencies are reviewing plans for energy transmission lines, assessing their impact on wild lands.
Here are some of our favorite photos, shared through the social media channels of our nation's public land agencies and outdoor conservation groups. These nature photos serve as a good reminder of what we can preserve when we choose to protect our wildlands.
There's a mad scramble going on out west to find ways to protect the iconic greater sage grouse from extinction.
Its granite Bristol Mountains rise above the earth beside volcanic mountains like Broadwell Mesa, but of course the main attraction here are the sand dunes, sculpted by wind over the past 25,000 years. Its dune field covers 45 square miles with the tallest dunes about 650 feet high, making
Oil from an aging Garfield County oil field has contaminated a wash flowing into Utah's popular Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

It took just 55 pitches for Neil to work through the first 18 batters in Class A Advanced Jupiter's 5-1 win over Fort Myers, allowing neither a hit nor a walk. But having reached his innings limit, he came out with a perfect-game bid intact.
"It was a little disappointing," Neil said. "They tell us to pitch to contact, keep your pitch count down and I felt like I did that well, being at 55 pitches after six innings. I was hoping they'd bend their policy a bit, but it's early on in the season and they've got the rules to keep everybody healthy."
A Marlins' 29th-round pick in 2011, Neil (1-0) struck out three while twice cruising through the Miracle lineup. It was his longest outing in three starts, and after struggling against the Miracle last week, he said it felt good to master a lineup that roughed him up for eight hits and five runs in 3 2/3 innings when they met on April 11.
"It was especially nice after I pitched against this team last week and they got the better of me, nice to get some revenge," he joked. "I was able to pitch my game instead of letting them hit it all over the place this time."
The Brigham Young University product thrives on efficient pitching, after issuing just seven walks in 76 2/3 innings between Class A Short-Season Jamestown and Jupiter last season. He said he was able to use four to five pitches to keep the Fort Myers' bats off balance.
"I was throwing pretty much everything. My fastball locations were going pretty well, my cutter and curveball were there. I mixed in a slider and changeup every once in a while to keep them honest," the Arizona native said. "I wanted to focus on making first-pitch strikes. And [Jupiter catcher] Jacob Realmuto called a real nice game, kept me on both sides of the plate."
Neil credited Hammerheads pitching coach Joel Coleman with helping him bounce back from last week's tough start.
"He straightened me out in the bullpen and I saw some success tonight. It felt good," he said.
Jupiter's five runs came on 11 hits from a lineup filled with Miami's top prospects. No. 17 Mark Canha went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBIs. Top prospect -- and MLB.com's No. 35 overall -- Christian Yelich was 2-for-3 with three runs and a triple. Marcell Ozuna (No. 5) and Realmuto (No. 6) added hits as well.
Jordan Conley allowed one run on two hits over two innings and Michael Brady gave up a hit in one scoreless frame to finish off the night for the Hammerheads.

Posted on 06/12/2013 7:36:12 PM PDT by TigerClaws
If you've got a policy against hiring anyone with a criminal record, you better review guidelines issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The EEOC today filed lawsuits against BMW's manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, S.C., and Dollar General, which is based in Goodlettsville, Tenn. The agency contends the companies' policies against hiring people who have been convicted of a crime violate the Civil Rights Act because they disproportionately cost African-Americans jobs.
(Excerpt) Read more at bizjournals.com ...
Every employer should have at least one murderer, one rapist, a thief and a burglar. A couple armed robbers wouldn't hurt either.
There are some areas of this country where the company I work for has trouble finding people who do not have a felony in their past, are able to read and write, and can pass a drug test.
Something about "freedom of association" somewhere, can't put my finger on it...
Does the NSA have any openings? I know this guy over in Hong Kong who has bills to pay ...
pretty soon it's goign to be a criem to hire anyoen but criminals, minorities, gay people or drug addicts-
Last time I checked, any felony conviction on your record - including a DWI - means you can forget getting even a SECRET clearance for US Government work.
I guess the Government discriminates against black people.
I'm completely sure that if you have a conviction for gay-bashing, well, ANY planned parenthood will hire you:
Maybe men with histories of domestic abuse can get hired as marriage counselors?
No doubt at all.
Just like forcing "affordable housing" need to be on Fifth Ave., Hyannisport, the Hamptons, Aspen, Marin County, West Chester, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Santa Barbara, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Mercer Island and other posh liberal enclaves.
Just a coincidence the plants are in a right to work state, huh? /sarc
In at least one major city they are requiring that lifeguards who can't swim be hired, because there are so few black lifeguards, and so few blacks that can swim who have applied, etc.—so it's racist to require lifeguards to be able to swim, you see, because it "disparately impacts" blacks, etc. Not kidding. I think it's Minneapolis.
In other words, a union.
LOL! Ain't that the truth.
They could save themselves a lot of time/trouble interviewing and just hire one Dem ex Con, er... ex Congressman.
What about the "Disparate Impact" of DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBERS OF CRIMES COMMITTED BY BLACKS, where the white population is being victimized by a Minority? Can we prosecute THAT "Unequal Treatment"?
> Tell Ginny Mae , or Freddie Mac what happens when you open the lines to all who apply .. How's that housing and mortgage bubble working out for ya ?
Fraud to such an extent that it led to thousands of banks being taken ino receivership by the FDIC; makes the S & L scandal pale in comparion. Anybody that could make a commission was in on the action from the title companies to the loan officers to the presidents of the bank. I know one transaction that netted one of the senior officers of a bank, $200K on a multimillion dollar deal. They knew the type people they were lending to would default which didn't bother them one bit because they knew they could foreclose on it and the resell it and make the commissions all over again.
Democrats have no problem hiring convicted criminals; best example that comes to mind is Alcee Hastings, impeached convicted and removed from his judgeship for accepting bribes.
That's what I was thinking... Friends who would know say even a misdemeanor can be reason to deny a clearance. A felony? Forget it, don't even waste your time.
So, yet another case of big government and the ruling elite sticking it in our faces and saying do as we say, not as we do.
"There are some areas of this country where the company I work for has trouble finding people who do not have a felony in their past, are able to read and write, and can pass a drug test."
I'll take a swag at this, and I would suppose that these areas tend to coincide with blue states.
You can't even get clearance to be a teacher in my state. We co-chair an after-school program in L.A. and I was not surprised how much information you have to provide just to be employed as an after-school instructor. You might as well join the CIA with the amount of paperwork you have to sign.
Challenge the Fed department making the claim.
"Our percentage of employees who are convicted felons is equal to yours."
"However, the percentage of our employees who are felons, not yet convicted, will never compare to yours!"
Day care and schools should hire pedophiles, DEA and CIA should hire drug dealers, banks should hire thieves.
Oh I forgot, they already do that.
TX is much the same. Lesson, obey the law. It's not hard.
The Federal Government attacking (non-union) business in the southern US. Happens every day. It's part of the "progressive" plan to turn the entire US into a corrupt collectivist hell hole, and since they can't do it with bullets (yet) they do it with a blizzard of lawyers and expensive paperwork.
nobody forced blacks to commit the crimes they've done. the fact more criminals are black, percentage-wise to their black population numbers, is not racist. it means there are more black criminals as a percentage of their population percentage.
screw eeoc. screw this renegade, commuist government.
The first mine I worked for would not hire people with drug or theft convictions but assault an manslaughter or murder conviction wasn't disqualifying. Murderers make good miners. Makes sense.
who cares
last i checked, it's illegal to file a tax return using someone else's ssno... yet 0bama's been doing this for years
and confiscating my personal information without cause or due process is also against the law... yet they've been doing it for years.
the IRS is supposed to audit people using a random selection filter in order to avoid the possibility of harassment via audits. they blew that off a few years ago.
so yea.... hire who you like. if one of the prerequisites for the job is no criminal convictions... then so be it.
stand up to them and tell them to shove it... you won't willingly endanger your employees or the corporation just to satisfy their political agenda.
And don't forget that the companies will be demanded to take full responsibility for the ex-felons actions if they do hire them.
It's a no-win.
If there are any black people who can still be embarrassed by the condition of the black race and culture, this should make them blush.
I'm out on bail facing felony stalking charges in Texas for e-mailing jokes to a former jack-*ss employer who fired me.
My first time in trouble with the law, and my lawyer thinks that the charges will eventually be dropped.
But I don't know for sure, this country is quickly becoming a police state and the law and order cheerleaders may be in for a rude awakening someday.
It is everywhere.
Equality at it's best!
with thousands upon thousands of laws we must obey and a zealous well-funded police-state, there may not be many non-felons in the coming years.
Yes, you are correct.
I should clarify, correct about the rude awakening. My son is struggling because of a "crime" that 20 years ago would have gotten him a mere talking-to rather than charges. he couldn't afford a lawyer.
Best of luck to you.
Unfortunately, I live in one of those areas. Probably 20% of all applicants we get can't pass the basic hiring requirements.
Fight it in court as you're already doing.
Hey, if the government can hire people with criminal records and give them guns and badges, you shouldn't have any problems with hiring criminals either.
State Department has hired [Diplomatic security] agents with criminal records, memo reveals...And we wonder about hiring prostitutes, pederasty and drug usage? What am I missing here?

Skip to comments.Could Pittsburgh Be The Next Paris? (gag)
Posted on 12/26/2012 3:15:00 PM PST by surroundedbyblue
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Paris the city of lights and love, and a destination for millions of tourists could that be the future Pittsburgh with some sensible, healthy-focused city planning?
Pittsburgh has wonderful parks, and you also have that wonderful next to the river walking pathway, says Dr. Richard Jackson, a physician and urban designer.
Jackson, who teaches at UCLA, says Paris is a good example of a healthy city that Pittsburgh could become.
(Excerpt) Read more at pittsburgh.cbslocal.com ...
More trash from the enviro-weenies. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, it snowed like crazy today & the roads were largely untouched. But what do you expect from a city run by dumbass Democrats???
Just what I would want to do, ride the subway unarmed with a subway car loaded with Holders People. Thank God I live in the sticks.
Philly cheesesteaks with Swiss cheese, just like Kerry loves...
The Eiffel tower is starting to rust out, it's probably time to move it to Pittsburgh.
In Paris, the beautiful parks and avenues are the result of a thriving economy -- not the cause. But liberals believe that if you create the appearance of prosperity, the real thing must necessarily follow.
It's what drives them to constantly increase welfare. They mistake the trappings of the middle class [house, cars, education] for the cause. Instead, though, they are the effect of a good work ethic and solid morals.
Putting the eternally-poor into decent housing and giving them a lower-middle-class income will not make them middle class. If anything, it will encourage them to become even more slothful.
Northeastern libs in cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc. drink this stuff like fine wine, though.
I'm a Cleveland Brown's fan . . as long as that despotic city puts up with the like of the Steelers, it will NEVER be a Paris!!!
The author poses a romantic notion that Pittsburg can become the urban mecca that Paris is, if we just give up our cars.
No problem with making Pittsburg a better place, it's just that the unsaid implementation means forcing people out of cars, except for government officials who are too important to walk or take public trans.
Disclaimer: I moved to a city where I have to walk alot, by choice.
These photos capture the Pittsburgh of my childhood when J&L and USS afforded near full-employment to anyone able to work. Sure, the air was thick with the fumes from the mills along the three rivers but it was the smell of prosperity in what was a working man's town. Given a choice between the "Paris on the Confluence" and the Pittsburgh I recall, it's an easy choice for me. Bring back the smoke!
In before the 'h' posting.
Please, please.
We may love knocking the French, but Paris is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
(At least for a while - until the muznuts take over and convert it into a replica mid-east slum,)
Ahhh...the French featuring a plastered Orson Welles.
Progressives want to get us out of cars and single family homes and into trains and mass housing.
Their agenda is evidenced many, many ways.
Personal experience being my company's now closed manufacturing plants in both Red Lion and Philadelphia...........
Even their lame attempts to appear friendly was obnoxious.......
We'll always have Pittsburgh.
hearty guffaw...
Boy, is it ever. And it's a city made for walking.
People complain about Parisians and rudeness, but they're no worse than New Yorkers.
"Don't worry about it." explained a French friend. "The Parisians are rude to everyone."
I've traveled a fair bit in France, and perhaps it has been because I was traveling with small children, but the French have always been very kind and thoughtful towards me and my family.
Go to the south and visit Provence. That's where the French Freepers are.
And Detroit can be the new Rio.
Have you ever been to Paris...???
This has long been the liberal dream. I heard Hubert Humphrey say the same thing in a speech in Pittsburgh in 1974.
So we can assume the professor does not drive nor own a dirty car?
It's also too much of a consumption centered vision. Old Pittsburgh wanted to produce goods for the rest of the world and did so, well and on a large scale. That was a good enough destiny for any city. After that, crepes and aperitifs is a major comedown. You're not going to get back the identity and sense of purpose that steelmaking gave the city by inviting in artists and hipsters who'd just as soon be somewhere else.
You're right that the vision of the "new Paris" is the bait people are offered to swallow the "carless future" idea. But I wouldn't be too down on that idea. Who can say what conditions will be like 50 or 100 years from now?
Children who grew up a century ago in the real mansions of Fifth Avenue and Newport got really sick of those environments and came to prefer apartment living. Who's to say that the kids in today's minimansions may not follow a similar path?
Already a lot of retirees are moving back to cities, glad to be rid of the hassles of suburban existence. Of course the freedom and mobility cars bring shouldn't be surrendered, but if people choose otherwise for themselves without diminishing your options, is it really a bad thing?
Is there enough dogcrap on Pittsburgh's sidewalks to resemble Paris?
Dr. Richard Jackson, Chair of the School of Health at UCLA, and former head of the National Center for Environmental Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), argued that how we shape our environment impacts our health. There are now deep-rooted structural issues with the built environment that are creating epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and depression. Also, the current way of dealing with these structural issues is only just increasing the annual amount of spending on healthcare (now at 17 percent of GDP), instead of addressing the underlying problems. We are now medicalizing the problems people are experiencing with their environment. We are no longer creating wellbeing.
Instead of addressing the public health impacts of the absence of trees, low-albedo streets (which contribute to the urban heat island effect), as well as a lack of sustainable transportation planning, which can help spur the growth of public transit options, we are instead looking at the end of the pipeline, the medical effects. Our environment is sending us a message: We are appendages to our cars.
While in California he helped establish the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program and state and national laws to reduce risks from pesticides, especially to farm workers and to children. While at CDC he established the national asthma epidemiology and control program, oversaw the childhood lead poisoning prevention program, and instituted the federal effort to biomonitor chemical levels in the US population
Tall and tan and young and lovely,
The girl from Pontiac goes walking
And when she passes,
Each one she passes goes - yo!
No, I heard it was too much like Pittsburgh.........
I find the Shanghai transformation astonishing,especially in such a brief period of time.
One of my sons visited Shanghai about a year ago and loved it,especially the way it lights up at night.
I don't think most people go on vacation so they can jog and ride their bikes — walk maybe from their hotel to wherever, maybe. But their primary reason for going on the vacation is not to walk from one place to another.
Now, does Pittsburgh have adequate tourist attractions? I'm not so sure....Carnegie Science Center is nice, but a lot of major cities have hands-on science museums now. Some will come for the ball games (Pirates, Steelers, Penguins, even Pitt) but most major cities have that too. I don't think anyone goes on vacation for the parks and greenways, unless it's a big park and you can camp overnight.
They built a large convention center some years ago....I don't think they had the hotel space to support large conventions though. I've been away for a while; I get back occasionally so maybe the hotel space has caught up.
I'm looking over the convention center's schedule....RV Show, Auto Show, Bead/Jewelry Show, Home and Garden Show...I think these are things people from the metro area come to look at rather than stay overnight for.
I thought he was going to say "Ahhh, the French, they are a funny race, they fight with their feet and f..."
"Of course the freedom and mobility cars bring shouldn't be surrendered, but if people choose otherwise for themselves without diminishing your options, is it really a bad thing?"
It is a bad thing when it's "encouraged" by the political elite & us serfs are nudged toward carlessness & public housing. That, to me, is the insinuation here.
Perhaps you ought to read "Agenda 21". Although it's a work of fiction (written by a woman from Pittsburgh, ironically) it gives you a good glimpse into where this type of thinking is leading.
'burg ping!
Ispierd mmmmmmm Buy Dat Same French Excliance.
It is a Rich Full Bodied Wine, sensibly priced at a Dollar a Jug.
They are full of Country Goodness and Green Pea-ness.
Ok....I live here & that's a little TOO SCARY!!! LOL!
The story specifically mentioned tourism, so that's where I went with it....but you're probably right that there is a hidden agenda here.
Pittsburgh is not a particularly easy city for tourists to get around....its city blocks are not necessarily square (due to the triangles of the river and the hills)...so you can take 4 right turns and not wind up where you started.
I think your post is EXCELLENT & expresses what I have been thinking & could not quite put into words. Thanks!
They're always big on the part about not driving cars like European cities, but not so big on putting enough busses on the street to make riding them feasible.
The do-gooder environmental idiot come to my door regularly about Mital and the proposed incinerator for Cleveland Power. I all but physically throw them off my property and give them a lecture about the trade offs between a pristine environment and economic viability. I often chase them down the street.
Looks like Pittsburgh lost World War Z to the Zombies
Besides Pittsburgh IS NOT Philadelphia. It is an entire state away and is much cleaner and inhabited by more hospitable people. Even though they speak like they have a mouth full of quarters. Yens understands what I mean?
The only US city we enjoy for walking is San Antonio's canal system. Venice Italy is a walkable canal city.
Another reason people would go to these cities is one of a kind arts. Paris has the Louvre, D'Orsay and Versailles. Not to mention restaurants and cafe's. These amenities go hand in hand with walking.
How Pittsburg would pull this off remains to be seen, but I would advise them to build canals. It would take guts for the planners, but they have to think big and bold.
Jones and Laughlin who needs them, we have our Asia made ipads. That's the way to national prosperity.
Same thing with Obama/Democrats obsession with high speed rail. The thriving economy should come first to justify it. But the Dems think you rev up the states economy by building the high speed rail first. They are that stupid in addition to these projects being a payoff to their union buddies
Who knows - teach 'Burghers to stop bathing and using deodorant and to start peeing in the streets - it could happen.
I staid at a hotel just outside of downtown once. I wanted to get a sandwich at the Subway sandwich shop accross the highway, I could see it from my hotel room . I spent the next two hours lost trying to get there. I found my way back to the Hotel, asked the front desk clerk how to get to the Subway across the highway.
"You can't get there from here, you'd never find it!"
Morning cicero2k!
Ever been to Pittsburgh? They don't need canals; They got RIVERS! Three of them, to be exact! BIG ones! :-)
Pittsburgh is a world away from Philly. It may be full of libs - it's an old union town, after all - but it is as homey and friendly a place as you'll ever want to visit.

Seventh Orthros Gospel
The Gospel according to John 20:1-10
At that time, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Attempting a minor plumbing addition to a 50 year old house with galvanized plumbing. There seems to be no problem with the current pipes. I want to replace an L in the CW line to the washer with a T, which will allow an extra line for a new exterior faucet. I was planning to reuse the original piping to the washer. How to get apart 50 year old threaded pipe joints sealed with plumbers putty (I guess that's what they called it)? A good sized pipe wrench won't budge the joints. Heating with a heat gun, then the wrench? Something else to try? Thanks for any suggestions - John

Fitzpatrick named starter by Texans
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jun 17 2014 2:10PM
Former Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will get yet another chance to be a starter in the league. Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien announced on Tuesday afternoon that Fitzpatrick will head into the regular season as the starting quarterback.
The former Bills player might just get a chance for revenge, too, when Houston welcomes in Buffalo for their Week Four tilt in the upcoming season. In his time with the Bills, Fitzpatrick had a record of 20-33 as their starter.
After having been released by Buffalo ahead of the 2013 NFL Draft, the quarterback was then scooped up by the Tennessee Titans. He was brought in to be the backup for young starter Jake Locker, but when the former first-round pick got injured Fitzpatrick made nine starts throughout 2013.
The Titans switched up their coaching staff and Fitzpatrick was released one year into the two-year deal he signed. He signed a two-year deal with the Texans this offseason, and then beat out Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage to be the starter.

Around the League - Playoff Edition - Wk 7
Jason Gregor
June 10 2010 09:44PM
The most entertaining playoffs in recent memory wrapped up last night with the Chicago Blackhawks ending the longest active Stanley Cup drought with an exciting 4-3 OT victory. Now that the Hawks hoisted the Cup for the first time in 49 years, teams will undoubtedly try to mirror what the Hawks did to succeed. But is that possible?
Let's breakdown the 22 skaters and two goalies who played for the Hawks during their championship run.
Antti Niemi: Signed as a free agent summer of 2008. He signed another one-year deal on June 30th, 2009.
Cristobal Huet: Signed a four-year, $22.4 million deal July 1st, 2008. He's played a grand total of 150 playoff minutes the past two seasons, while earning $11.2 million the past two seasons.
Duncan Keith: Drafted 54th overall in 2002. After being drafted he spent one year in the WHL, two in the AHL and then he broke in with the Hawks in 2005/2006.
Brent Seabrook: Drafted 14th overall in 2003. He played two more years in junior before breaking in with the Hawks in 2005/2006.
Brian Campbell: Signed a mind-boggling eight-year, $57 million deal on July 1st, 2008. In seven NHL seasons he has scored more than eight goals once.
Niklas Hjalmarsson: Drafted in the 4th round, 108th overall in 2005. After being drafted he spent two years in the SEL, and then played a year and a half in the AHL, before being called up half way through last season.
Brent Sopel: Signed a one-year, free-agent deal September 28th, 2007 and then signed a three-year extension in January of 2008.
Nick Boynton: Acquired from Anaheim for future considerations on March 2nd, 2010. He was assigned to the minors before being recalled on March 17th.
Jordan Hendry: Wasn't drafted and was signed as a free agent July 17th. He's played 92 NHL games over the past three seasons splitting time between the Hawks and the AHL.
Jonathon Toews: Drafted 3rd overall in 2006. After spending a second season at North Dakota he made his NHL debut in 2007 and he recorded the second-longest point-scoring streak to start an NHL career, registering a point in each of his first 10 games.
Patrick Kane: Drafted 1st overall in 2007 and won the Calder trophy as best rookie in 2007/2008 with a 72-point season.
Patrick Sharp: Was acquired from the Flyers on December 5th, 2005 along with Eric Meloche for Matt Ellison and a 3rd round pick. A great trade by the Hawks.
Dustin Byfuglien: Drafted in the 8th round, 245th overall in 2003. He spent two more seasons in the WHL, then two years in the AHL before becoming a regular in 2007/2008.
Dave Bolland: Drafted in the 2nd round, 32nd overall in 2004. Played two more years in the OHL, and then spent one season in the AHL, before playing the last three in Chicago.
Marian Hossa: Signed as a free agent on July 1st, 2009. Hossa's contract works out to a $5.2 million cap hit, but the first eight years he will earn $59.3 million. The "Hossa Curse" is over after he finally won the Cup after losing it with Pittsburgh and Detroit.
Kris Versteeg: Was acquired from Boston on February 3rd, 2007 along with a conditional pick for Brandon Bochenski. Another great deal by Dale Tallon.
Troy Brouwer: Drafted in the 7th round, 214th overall in 2004. He spent two more years in junior and then two in the AHL before becoming a regular last season. Brouwer potted 22 goals in his 2nd NHL season.
Andrew Ladd: Acquired from Carolina on February 26th in exchange for Tuomo Ruutu. Ladd was the 4th overall pick in 2004, and then spent one more year in the WHL and half a season in the AHL before becoming a regular in Carolina.
Tomas Kopecky: Signed as a free agent July 1st, 2009 at $1.2 million for two years. After being drafted in 2000, he spent two years in junior, then four years in the AHL before making the Red Wings in 2006/2007.
Ben Eager: The former first round pick of the Phoenix Coyotes was acquired on December 18th, 2007 from the Flyers for Jim Vandermeer. He scored the game winner in game two of the Cup finals and is a great energy guy. He, along with Sean Burke, was dealt to Philly from Phoenix for Mike Comrie before playing a game in the NHL.
John Madden: Signed a one-year, $2.75 million free agent deal with the Hawks on July 1st, 2009. He wasn't drafted and signed as a free agent in New Jersey and he went on to win two Cups with the Devils.
Adam Burish: The Hawks drafted him 282nd overall, (9th round) in 2002. He played four years of college after being drafted, then one in the AHL before cracking the Hawks lineup in 2007/2008.
Colin Fraser: He was drafted in the 3rd round in 2003 by Philadelphia, but was traded to the Hawks, along with Jim Vandermeer and a 2nd round pick (Brian Bickell) for Alexei Zhamnov. Fraser. After being drafted he played two years in the WHL, then three in the AHL before becoming a regular in Chicago in 2008/2009.
Brian Bickell: Drafted by the Hawks in 2004, 41st overall. Spent two more years in junior and three years in the AHL and got called up late this season.
The Hawks championship team consisted of ten draft picks, eight free agent signings and six players acquired via trade.
What I found most interesting is that out of their ten draft picks, only Kane and Toews were drafted after the lockout and they are the only two who were top-ten picks. Seabrook was the other first rounder, so only 30% of the Hawks' draft picks on the team were first round picks.
It is clear a championship team has to draft well, but they need to make smart picks in every round, not just the first round.
Ice Woman of the Week
The playoffs are over, but the biggest tournament in the world, the World Cup, is starting tomorrow and in honour of the "Beautiful game" here is Abbey Clancey. Clancey is a model and is engaged to English footballer Peter Crouch.
Random thoughts
- I wonder if Jonathon Toews is the first forward to win the Conn Smythe Trophy without scoring a goal in the Stanley Cup finals?
- Should the final series be worth more in voting for the Conn Smythe?
- I've always been a fan of Jeremy Roenick. I liked how he played the game, and I appreciated his honesty. Some people mocked him for being emotional after the game last night, but I thought it was refreshing to see.
- Jeff Carter will be having nightmares all summer after missing a great chance in the final two minutes of game six. Carter never looked in synch after returning from two broken feet.
- What will it cost to get Kris Versteeg? The Hawks have to trim some salary and he seems the most likely to go, so if I'm Darryl Sutter I'd be calling up Stan Bowman right away. The Flames don't have any high draft picks and no young prospects, but Sutter has never been afraid to make a move and he did steal Rene Bourque for a 2nd rounder a few years back. Steve Tambellini might kick some tires, but I don't see him giving up one of his young prospects because the Oilers are still a few years away from being competitive.
- While the Hawks have to shed some salary (Huet will go to minors and they'll try to trade Sopel or send him down), so do the Flyers. Braydon Coburn is a RFA, and he's in line for a huge raise from his $1.3 million cap hit. If I'm Holmgren I'd call up Montreal and see if they'd take Gagne for Carey Price? The Flyers need a goalie and have to shed some salary, while the Habs could use a goal scorer.
- I'm hearing the Dallas Stars are interested in Sheldon Souray. I have no idea what they'd be willing to give up, but if Tambellini could get one of Matt Niskanen, Mark Fistric or Nick Grossman he'd drive to Dallas himself to pick them up. It sounds like Joe Nieuwendyk might have to function with a payroll of $45 million, and if that's the case it might be hard to add Souray. But the Stars need a veteran on the backend, so don't rule out Souray as an option.
- I suspect teams will try to emulate the rosters of the Hawks and Flyers more than how they were built. Both teams had three solid offensive lines. Gone are the days of a true checking line, and with so many young talented kids entering the league, I suspect we will see more teams go with three lines and one energy/physical line. The Hawks fourth line could be the 3rd line on many NHL teams. Claude Giroux would be the 1st line centre on some NHL teams, and he was on the 3rd line in Philly. Unreal.
Abbey Clancey - Gregor, you are now officially my hero.
Nice roundup too.
June 11 2010, 12:02AM
Campbell deserves credit for deflecting Carter's shot, it was labeled for the top corner, and if he didn't get a piece of it, we'd have a game tomorrow.
I'd have to say the Kings are pretty damn close to doing what Chicago has done.
Ahh to be a rich and famous pro athlete, thats the only way a tall, lanky, gawky, nerdy looking dude like Crouch could score a chick like that

Oh wow, hot hot hot.
I like the insight about the Flyers/'Hawks 3 lines of offense. We should do that.
Campbell deserves credit for deflecting Carter's shot, it was labeled for the top corner, and if he didn't get a piece of it, we'd have a game tomorrow.
I think he is talking about the open net shot that went off Niemi's head. And that one had Seabrook just get a piece of Carter's stick at the end of the shot so that it was going top right instead of anywhere else in the net that was wide open.
Matt Niskanen is a damn good player. I'd take him in a second for Souray... and we'd be dumping 3 or 4 million in salary depending on how much Niskanen signs for.
June 11 2010, 11:15AM
One trend I see with the Hawk, most of their top prospects, Keith, Seabrook, Toews, all spent an extra year or 2 in junior plus a year or two in the AHL. Something I would like to see the Oil do with Seguin, back to junior and Eberle & Omark, a year in the AHL. Don;t make the same mistake that they made with Gagner.

The funny part of that is not one of the guys you listed played a year in the AHL, the closest was Seabrook and he played three games.

After being drafted (in the 2nd round, 02), Keith split the next season at Michigan State and Kelowna, then played 2 years in the 'A'.
Seabrook played 2 years of Jr. after he was drafted.
And of course, Toews played an extra year at North Dakota after being drafted.

Oops, I read Kane rather then Kieth. Anyways, 2 of the 3 played three games total in the A. I'd hardly say most of their top prospects played a year or two in the A.
@OB1 Team Yakopov - F.S.T.N.F
And I didn't see the "all spent an extra year or 2 in junior plus a year or two in the AHL." I thought it was 'or'.
In any case, I thought the point he was making was that none of the 3 mentioned made the immediate jump (which for the most part, wasn't expected anyways).

Hi Serge
Am having problems with my cash drawer. Am using a USB Receipt printer and i connected the cash drawer to the receipt printer. the problem am experiencing is that the cash drawer will not open with your current option of configuring the cash drawer because it is set only in COM settings.
Could you put another option to open the cash drawer after of before the receipt is printed out.

Free, no-obligation Arizona homeowners insurance quotes
Your home is your castle, isn't it? Keep that in mind when you begin looking for Arizona homeowners insurance quotes. You want to protect your castle, but you also want to make sure all of its contents are protected, too. You may not own the crown jewels, but what you have is important and if it's stolen or you suffer a loss, you will want to replace it.
While your dwelling and outbuildings are covered (such things as sheds and fences), a standard policy will not cover many valuables. If you have heirloom jewelry that is valuable, or significant artwork, you will need a rider to your policy. Today's electronics equipment isn't inexpensive and many consumers have invested quite a bit in it. Make certain it is all covered.
Don't forget antiques in your homeowners insurance quotes
Furniture is not always just something to sit on. It could be a valuable antique and if so, you may need additional coverage. And if you have an extensive stamp or coin collection that is worth a lot, make sure your Arizona homeowners insurance quotes take that into account.
Theft can be a significant problem. That's why many carriers offer good discounts for consumers who have installed a reputable home security system. Safety features have been proven helpful in deterring theft. Some companies even give retirees who are home all day in their primary residence a discount for that—because being in the home all day is also a burglary deterrent. Not all carriers offer this, but some do.
Remember that your credit history and your prior claim history are both assessed before an insurer takes you on. Carriers are busy assessing your risk and the results of that assessment will determine the price of your policy. In fact, it determines whether or not they will accept you as a customer.
Homeowners insurance quotes comparisons made easy
Perhaps your lender requires you to have a certain amount of coverage. Any mandated coverage should be considered just a start. Take a look at how various options affect your Arizona homeowners insurance quotes and how much you might be willing to pay for peace of mind.
Great coverage is easy to find with our comparisons. A few easy keystrokes and you have a wealth of information on your screen, information that will help you make the right decision for your needs and for your budget.

Triage X is Satou Shouji's, also Highschool of the Dead's mangaka, new series. The art is very alike, and... so is the ecchi. Triage X is about a group of "secret agents" of some kind, who are given missions to assassinate certain people. Triage, in medical terms, is the prioritizing of medical patients, according to their condition. The series works pretty much the same way, except with these guys the prioritizing is by corrupcy and the treatment is death.
I'm pretty much enjoying the series, even though there's only 3 chapters so far. If you like(d) Highschool of the Dead, give this series a try and pick it up as a replacement, since I doubt HotD will be coming back, anytime soon.
Chapters for Triage X can be found on MangaShare.

State and county officials are investigating the blaze.
CINCINNATI -- Fire crews and investigators remained Saturday on the property of a Indian Hill mansion that was consumed by flames Friday afternoon.
Lt. Kevin Scheuerman of the Madeira and Indian Hill Joint Fire District said the investigation is now being led by Ohio's Division of State Fire Marshal along with the Hamilton County Arson Task Force. He said the state fire marshal is handling the investigation because of the home's value – more than $4 million according to the Hamilton County auditor's website.
Scheuerman also estimates crews and investigators will remain on the scene "24/7" through the weekend and into Monday. It might be late next week until the cause of the fire is released, he said.
Michael Duchesne, spokesman with the state fire marshal, said it is still early in the investigation and the cause is undetermined. He said they were conducting interviews Saturday and that the unofficial damage estimate is $5 million.
One of the first responders, Lt. Jim Gilligan, said the home is a complete loss. Gilligan said he first arrived at the mansion, which was more than 10,000 square feet, around 3:30 p.m. Friday. He didn't return to the fire station until 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
"It had a good head start," Gilligan said. "The fire was larger than the water immediately available. It was a defensive attack from the start. At no time did anyone ever enter the structure due to the advanced fire conditions."
Gilligan said that is undetermined whether there were smoke detectors in the home. He said there was a fire hydrant at the home, but the fire was too large for the amount of water it was producing.
Roughly 80 firefighters battled the blaze.
Gilligan confirmed that no one was injured in the fire.
A responder at the scene described large flames that reached as high as 30 feet upon arrival, according to emergency communications. Smoke could be seen from miles away.
Gilligan said that the fire was out around 10:30 or 11 p.m. Friday.
The home was built in 2006 and features 22 rooms, including five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half bathrooms.
Maria Decker is listed as the owner. One of her sons, Chase Decker, posted about the fire on Facebook at about 4:30 p.m., asking for prayers.
"Please pray for my family, you will soon see on the news that our home has burned down and there is nothing left of our possessions," Chase wrote. "Thankfully everyone is safe including our dogs."

Board seeks answers about cycling event
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 09/24/12
The UCI World Road Cycling Championships will take place in the Richmond region three years from this week, but Henrico County officials need more information before formally committing to climb aboard for the ride.
Officials from Richmond 2015 – the nonprofit organization that will host the nine-day international event – asked Henrico's Board of Supervisors during a Sept. 11 work session to contribute a total of $1.4 million to the championships during the next three years. But supervisors and County Manager Virgil Hazelett, while pledging support for the event in general terms, bristled at the request because it lacked the specifics they were expecting.
"It is clear to me that we do not have sufficient information," Hazelett said. "My main concern is the cost. I don't have a comfort level yet in what's going to happen."
Richmond 2015 has established a budget of $21.4 million, its CEO, William Flohr, told the board. The City of Richmond has committed a $2 million contribution, he said, and presentations to officials in Hanover and Chesterfield counties followed the visit to Henrico. The organization arrived at its $1.4 million request of Henrico by following the regional funding format that was used for the Greater Richmond Convention Center, to which Richmond contributed 50 percent, Henrico 35 percent, Chesterfield 13 percent and Hanover 2 percent.
Board 'disappointed' in approach
But it was clear during last week's work session that at least some county officials felt slighted by the organization's decision to approach them now to assist with an event that may have quickly outgrown its original scope – and by the implication among some in the public that the county was not being a regional partner.
During a steady and pointed line of questioning, Brookland District Supervisor and board chairman Dick Glover expressed as much, suggesting that Richmond 2015 officials had dropped the ball by waiting more than 18 months to meet with the full Henrico board.
He implied that if the organization had involved Henrico from the beginning (in late 2010), the county would have felt more like a true partner and less like a bank account.
"I am very disappointed that this is almost two years after [the process began] that the Board of Supervisors of Henrico County has been approached," Glover said. "I feel like you've left us out of the picture, and now you're coming to us with not enough information."
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson was similarly unimpressed.
"You came to us and gave us nothing today," Nelson told the organization's contingent. "I think it's a healthy promotion for our region, but you're asking us to spend a million and a half dollars that are not in our budget. We each have capital improvement projects [awaiting funding] in our districts, and I've got people in my district ready to shoot me because we don't have a new school yet."
Nelson also suggested that if the county were to donate the requested $1.4 million, it should receive more than just one of the 12 races scheduled for the nine-day event – particularly if Richmond's $2 million donation is enough to earn it nine races. (Hanover and Chesterfield also would receive one race each by contributing to the event, Richmond 2015 organizers said.)
Flohr, who joined Richmond 2015 in April, conceded that the organization might have done some things differently before his arrival, in retrospect.
"It perhaps should have been a regional effort," he said, "and we're trying to make it into a regional effort now."
Economic impact debated
Henrico stands to realize a $42 million economic benefit from the event, Flohr said; some 450,000 spectators are expected to attend the races. Flohr told the board that Henrico would receive an additional $832,000 in hotel and lodging taxes during the nine-day period, but Hazelett questioned his math, saying that the county typically receives about that much during the month of September, when the occupancy rate is about 60 percent.
"We can't double that [amount] in nine days with only 40 percent vacancy available," Hazelett said.
The race proposed for Henrico is the initial time trial for men and women, which might begin in Short Pump and travel east to its conclusion in the city. That race would be televised live on a national network, Flohr said. But though Henrico would receive commercials during the broadcast and the opportunity for other exposure, Flohr could provide no specific details. The organization must purchase TV time from a network and has not yet completed the negotiation process, he said.
Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon told Flohr that the board would need to see a specific list of the benefits it would receive for a $1.4 million donation before determining how to proceed.
Hazelett expressed serious concerns about the costs associated with heavy police and security needed to protect the 1,000 cyclists – some of whom will represent nations with volatile political climates – as well as spectators and citizens.
Those costs, combined with shutting down more than 60 intersections for the race, could total nearly $500,000, Hazelett said – money that he said should be deducted from any donation Henrico makes.
To date, Richmond 2015 has financial commitments from five corporate partners totaling more than $2 million, but Flohr declined to name those companies. He promised Hazelett and the board that he would have specific details and answers to their questions by the first week of October, however.
The UCI event, which began in 1927 and has been held annually since (except for a seven-year period during World War II), will be held in The Netherlands this year, Italy next year and Spain in 2014. The United States has hosted it only once, in Colorado Springs in 1986.

Skip to comments.Mali Islamists counter attack, promise France long war
Posted on 01/14/2013 6:41:56 AM PST by DeadFurrow
Al Qaeda-linked Islamist rebels launched a counter-offensive on Monday in central Mali after four days of air strikes by French warplanes on their strongholds in the desert north, promising to drag France into a long and brutal Afghanistan-style ground war.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Gallic ping.
France is in talks for a possible surrender. More news as it happens !
Go French!!! Please make obama very unhappy!!!
Street Without Joy part II.
Mali islamists have tied into something they will regret.
Yes, the French are fighting Muslim terrorists who were armed from Libyan depots via Obama's Benghazi's operation and directly by switching sides in Mali with US supplied equipment as well as with US technical support and training before they defected. This is another arm of Obama's support for Islamic transnational terrorism in Africa and the Middle East trying to establish the Greater Caliphate. Obama is a great Muslim leader and Hollande stands in his way. The world turned upside down.
If you read the history of France you will discover a long history of military excellence along with a few major defeats. Sadly the French officer core in WW1 was terrible. Simply horrible and needlessly killed millions and millions of Frances best and brightest. So horrific were Frances losses in WW1 that the French has no will to fight 20 years later when WW2 came around. However the French appear to reverting back to their fighting past. And also appear (unlike the USA under Bush/Obama) to have a pretty good idea of who the enemy really is. We should be happy to have them in the fight.
It's someone else's turn I see. Perhaps that will change France's opinion of us in regard to islam.
It would be instructive to witness the Legion in a two to three month operation supported by the French Air Force against Islamists in Mali. The results will probably be similar to the initial American success against the Taliban when The US initially intervened. The Taliban suffered heavy causalities and their government fell. But to what end? There has been a prolonged inconclusive war ever since. The same thing will happen in Mali. Unless the native non Islamists in Africa, arm, organize and effectively resist, Africa will eventually be predominantly Islamic. Also if the West were serious about stopping this fundamentalist wave, then it will have to deal with the Saudis in a definitive manner.
Q: How many Frenchies does it take to defend Paris?
A: No one knows... it's NEVER been done.
Who'd have thought we'd be standing in awe of the French... what an upside-down world in which we live...
This will grow because we are unwilling to pursue their funding sources. When we use to know how to fight an enemy we new ...attack their supply lines.. why wont we do that? Hmmmmmm?
Blowing up a few jihadies here and there does nothing...
You cut off funding (Saudi) OPEC jacks up the price of oil.
Yes. The French collapse in 1940 was due the German army's brilliant tank strategy, not French cowardice. One little-known story of that campaign is how well the remnants of the French army fought to cover the British evacuation at Dunkirk.
France has a huge Muslim population, I'm sure the sleeper cells there can cause a lot of problems. Is their immigration policy going to haunt them or will it open the eyes of the west to the terrorist threat once those cells start bombing innocents?
"You cut off funding (Saudi) OPEC jacks up the price of oil."
Kinda makes a morality play doesnt it. If we resolved to develop our own resources the Saudi's would be irrelevant...
When the sleeper cells are activated, we will see many "peace loving muslims" (in name only) actively getting involved.
According to contemporary estimates, Verdun resulted in 714,321 casualties, 377,231 on the French side and 337,000 on the German one, an average of 70,000 casualties for each of the ten months of the battle.[5] It was the longest and one of the most devastating battles in the First World War and the history of warfare. Modern estimates increase the number of casualties to 976,000.
You've never heard of the Franco-Prussian War then.
And that was after the Emperor Napoleon III and almost all of his entire army was encircled and captured at the Battle of Sedan!
My response is always the same: read about the Battle of Verdun.
Easy ROCK!
It's just a joke...
And, anyway... the Battle of Hastings has nothing to do with defending Paris.
One little-known story of that campaign is how well the remnants of the French army fought to cover the British evacuation at Dunkirk. Hopeful signs here that when and if the French crack down hard on the psychopathic Islamists.
My dad was with a British army infantry regiment at the Dendry Canal in Belgium. He never said much, but the book by his Commanding officer, mentioned the French 5th light tanks and the Cameron regiment (Scotties)as support.
They faced the panzers and could only delay them at a canal bridge. The platoon of English soldier were lucky to get taken off eventually at Dunkirk. 35,000 French troops covered the retreat. Thousands were also taken off to England.
I know Winston Churchill made some statement about France being given some special rights as an ally at that time. I cannot find any reference though.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, is said.
Doubtful. Not only are the French holding the white flags in ready reserve, the prospect of a secretary of state named Kerry will guarantee timely surrender.
Generalship in WW1 sucked, civilian leadership in pre WW2 sucked, hopefully they are correcting their problems.
I do not disagree with anything you've said.
But it looks like France is losing this war against the mooselimb crazies.
How many buildings and vehicles have been torched in France each year and folks killed there.
And that is due to their liberal immigrations laws of yeas past.
What would you call their involvement early in Vietnam? Or China? Or Iraq?
Recent history has not been all that terrific for the Froggies.
The villian of that fiasco was Weygand,as duplicitous and incompetent a general ever was.
For me many memories revived here with the old films. A child at the time, I had a great time with an all- band radio. Even today, I remember the stentorian tones of the announcer in London. A classic opening to music happened to coincide with the letter V. This was played first. I think it was from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Da Da Da Dum. (Churchill had flashed the V sign replete with his cigar.)
The voice intoned:
Ici Londres. This is the London and the European service of the BBC.
We were quite free to tune in to "Germany Calling" on the long wave. Another story however.
I should say that the symphony opening was construed as the letter V in morse code. dot dot dot dash.

Church Hill police searching for pharmacy robbery suspect
Church Hill Police say a man held up a Food City pharmacy on Thursday.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Church Hill police officers responded to the Food City pharmacy on Silver Lake Road for an armed robbery call.
Police said a white man wearing blue jeans, a white button-up shirt, and a camouflage fishing hat handed a note to a pharmacist demanding a list of narcotic drugs.
The note also stated that if he did not get all the pills, all the pharmacy workers would die.
Verbally, he stated to one worker that if he didn't get the pills within 20 seconds, he would shoot them all. No handgun was produced.
The suspect obtained an undisclosed amount and type of pills and ran from the store. The suspect then ran and got into 1999 - 2002 maroon Chevrolet Malibu which had a front tag.
If anyone has any information, please call 423.357.7181 or email email@example.com.

Usually, if you are not a lawyer, you can represent only yourself. You cannot represent another person, and most businesses are legally "persons." Therefore, you cannot represent a corporation, partnership or other business entity. For example, the manager of an apartment building cannot represent the property owner in an eviction. That would be representing another person. If the property is owned by a business, then the business must be represented by a lawyer because the business itself is a "person." If the property is owned by a natural person, then the owner can represent herself or himself.
A parent or guardian can "appear" on behalf of a minor child or protected person, which means the parent takes the place of the child as the real party in interest, but usually a parent or guardian cannot "represent" a child or a protected person. In juvenile court, you can ask the judge for permission to represent a child or protected person. And in a petition for a child protective order any "interested" person may represent the child.
For the special rules about representing a party in a small claims case, see our webpage on Small Claims. For more information, see Rule 14-802. Authorization to practice law.
