Château du Cléray-Sauvion, located in the heart of the Nantes region, is one of the oldest estates of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine region and serves as the home to the Sauvion family. It is also one of the few Muscadet-producing Châteaux. View all Sauvion Wines
About LoireView a map of Loire wineries Chenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gracelr from Corduroy pants These pants are soft and comfortable right out of the box. The fit and length are perfect. I'd like to buy them in all colors, unfortunately they were sold out. I'll keep checking for other colors.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Manon from I love 'em, but they're too short after washing (1) First, let me state emphatically that the so-called "camel" is NOT A CAMEL color, which is a mustardy yellow. (The corded velour stretch pants are a true camel, not these.) These are an elegant medium TAUPE, much more versatile, and I hope VCS keeps this gorgeous color! (2) Although I ordered several colors, I kept only the "camel" taupe because the fabric shrank over 2 inches in length on the Regular when washed, making them much too short. Also, the size measured significantly larger in the hips, and even a bit in the waist, in the black and navy colors than in the "camel". That's a case for quality control. (3) A suggestion: maybe VCS could have the pants cut 3 inches longer and describe them as "30 inches after washing." Then this fabric can be kept. The 2% spandex is a nice feature -- any more makes cords too "drapey" -- if you like that, then get the corded velours. (Note: If you plan to lengthen there's only about one inch, which is inadequate; you need to use a tape; and it's tricky due to the slight spandex stretch.) I would recommend these to a friend with the above caveats. But for those, I would have given them 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by janell from Nice Cords My old cords were wearing out. I needed new ones.
Date published: 2015-03-03
Rated 4 out of 5 by Upstate Quilter from A quality product Made with heavy-weight corduroy, generously cut and well made. The only negative: they shrank in spite of my washing them in cold water and drying on very low heat. I can still wear them, but now they are tighter than I would like. They are still the best corduroy pants around though. Maybe adding a bit of synthetic material would reduce the shrinkage.
Date published: 2015-02-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by cmptrgrny from great corduroys I love these pants but bought them a size larger than I ordinarily take because most pants are too short. I love that these pants are made out of quality corduroy and will last a long time and are well constructed. I cannot emphasize enough that the products that I buy from this site are well made and long lasting. You really get what you pay for from the vermont country store. That is why I buy from them often.
Date published: 2015-01-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by Searching Forever from Everything I wanted I used to wear Cabin Creek but they have closed and I have been searching everywhere for these pants. I am so excited. The quality is great. Love the stretch.

The Nine Lives of Laurence K
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2004
In heaven everyone gets their own talk show, but only one guest - themselves. Laurence Shorter's comic post-mortem into life, mistakes and bad dancing. How many jobs can one man lose in a decade?
Older Comments
Rich - 12/08/2004
An excellent show. Lost count of how many characters Laurence plays but to make them all so convincing and amusing is a feat in itself. It's not a huge room, so I'd get a ticket before they start selling out.

Here's a look at what's buzzing in the book world today:
Bond, James Bond: Nearly 50 years after the death of Ian Fleming, the creator of the popular 007 spy series, author William Boyd has written a new Bond novel. But, considering the zealous nature of Bond fans, can Boyd do the book justice? (Read Charles Finch's *** out of four review of Solo.) It's becoming a popular trend in literature, having writers tackle the works of long-dead authors, including Jane Austen and Agatha Christie.
Last Night at the Viper Room: River Phoenix could have been one of the best actors of his generation. So says author Gavin Edwards, who has written a biography of the actor titled Last Night at the Viper Room (***). Born into a cult, Phoenix had a tough childhood that blossomed into an acting career, which earned him praise from the likes of Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt. "He was the best. I said that before he died," said Pitt, in an interview included in the book. USA TODAY's Korina Lopez says Edwards has written an admirable biography of an extraordinary young man whose addictions led to his early death.
Emily, unsheltered: Fans of the enigmatic poet Emily Dickinson are in for a treat: a new online archive of handwritten drafts of her poetry has been created. The archives, organized and funded by Harvard, is the result of two years of work by scholars across the nation, and comes together after decades-long battles over ownership of Dickinson's work.
Spellbinding: USA TODAY's Bob Minzesheimer reviews four new books that will get young readers into a spooky Halloween spirit. Titles include Vampire Baby, Click, Clack, Boo! and The Ghost Prison.
For the ladies: If you like snarky, feminist humor, you'll probably like the website Jezebel. And if you like Jezebel, you'll love the new book from the website's creator, Anna Holmes. The Book of Jezebel is an encyclopedic tome filled with hilarious, female-centric definitions on everything from popular movies, to virginity, to acne. The Huffington Post has an excerpt, including humorous musings on figures such as Beyoncé, Nora Ephron and Kathleen Hanna.
"It is most beautiful": Buzzfeed gathered a list of last words of famous writers before they died. The poetic Lord Byron said "Now, I shall go to sleep," while Edgar Allan Poe uttered the more ominous "Lord! Help my poor soul."
Percival Everett: The folks over at Publishers Weekly are saying that Percival Everett by Virgil Russell is one of the best books of 2013. Writer Gabe Habash says that the book, which he finds himself constantly rereading, resembles the philosophical styling of Beckett, mixed with the "oddball discursiveness of Brautigan."
Buffett to end hunger: Howard G. Buffett, the son of billionaire Warren Buffett, has written a new book called 40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World. In it, he shares essays and photographs he has taken of starving people around the world. The title is taken from the idea that every farmer has 40 growing seasons to produce crops. "I don't want to let these people down," Buffett says in an interview with USA TODAY. "They have been let down by so many other people."

Oscar-winning actress and director Jodie Foster is selling her longtime Hollywood Hills home for $6,399,000, co-listing agent David Kramer confirms to Yahoo! Homes. Click here for a slideshow of Jodie Foster's home.
The 6,000-square-foot Spanish villa has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, an office and an attached guest suite. It was built in 1935, although Foster has updated some of it, according to the Wall Street Journal. Before Foster bought it in 1997, the world's first supermodel, Cheryl Tiegs, owned it, the Journal says. (Speaking of Tiegs, she's been seeking to move lately as well; Tiegs listed her L.A. home this spring for nearly twice what Foster is asking, though she removed the listing last month. You can see photos of Tiegs' home on Zillow Blog.)
Foster is notoriously private, so it's probably not a surprise that the listing touts the property as "the perfect refuge for those seeking the ultimate in privacy, security and style." It uses the word "sheltered" not once but twice, and it mentions a "high-reaching hedge for utmost discretion." Plus, the home is "discreetly accessed by a rear gated driveway entrance, safeguarding the two-car parking garage and guest suite entry."
Amenities also include a screening/family room; a sunny atrium entry; a sauna; and a center-island kitchen equipped with a Viking stove and "a gourmet chef's dual-sink setup."
The home sits on a quarter-acre lot on Flicker Way, one of the famous Hollywood Hills "bird streets" (like Blue Jay Way and Skylark Lane) where many celebrities live. Current and past residents cited by Curbed and by the Hollywood Reporter include comedian Mindy Kaling, young billionaire heiress Megan Ellison, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, Christina Aguilera and more. And it's a surprisingly tight-knit community: According to the Hollywood Reporter, its Doheny Dining Club meets a couple of times a year. "We didn't think this was the kind of community that wanted to get to know their neighbors. But it seems that everybody wants that," dining club founder Lindsay Berger Sacks, a local attorney, told the magazine.
Click here for a slideshow of Jodie Foster's home. The house also has its own URL at 9219FlickerWay.com, if you'd like to see even more and bigger photos.
Foster's new movie, "Elysium," starring Matt Damon and directed by Neill Blomkamp of "District 9" fame, opens Aug. 9. Here's a just-released trailer from Yahoo! Movies:

Description of Research ExpertiseDr. Harold Riethman is an Associate Professor in the Molecular and Cellular Oncogenesis Program at The Wistar Institute, and a Wistar Institute Associate Professor of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is also Associate Director of Training at The Wistar Institute. Dr. Riethman received his B.S. and M.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Cincinnati. Following PhD work at the University of Missouri focused on the biochemistry and biophysics of photosynthetic light reactions, Dr. Riethman joined Maynard Olson's lab at Washington University for postdoctoral work where he modified the recently-developed yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) cloning system to selectively capture large telomere-terminal fragments of human chromosomes. Upon establishment of his lab at The Wistar Institute, he expanded this work to create and characterize comprehensive clone libraries of human telomere regions. From 1991-2004 his lab played a key role in cloning, mapping, sequencing, and analysis of telomeric and subtelomeric DNA regions as part of the human genome project, collaborating with a wide range of both individual labs and large sequencing centers in the genome community in an interdisciplinary effort to accomplish this task. In particular, he led the effort to finish and annotate subtelomere regions, incorporating bioinformatic and computational approaches to classify and annotate subtelomeric segmental duplications and subterminal sequence features.
Currently, the Riethman laboratory focuses on the detailed characterization of genetic and epigenetic features of human subtelomeric and telomeric DNA as they relate to cancer and aging. This work is currently in two main areas. In the first, novel experimental and computational next-gen sequencing based approaches are being developed and used for analysis of subtelomeric structural variation, mutation, and annotation of human subtelomeric DNA. The Riethman laboratory, in collaboration with the Lieberman and Davuluri labs, has used existing next-gen datasets to annotate our updated human subtelomere sequence assemblies as part of an effort to understand the role of subtelomeric chromatin in the transcriptional regulation and function of a long noncoding RNA (TERRA) essential for telomere integrity (Deng et al., 2012). We have recently extended and refined our computational pipeline to enable efficient mapping of next-gen datasets to extended subtelomere DNA regions, where critically important genes are located and where previous analyses have been hampered by subtelomeric segmental duplication content. In the second area, the relationship of telomere length dynamics with telomere function and dysfunction is being investigated in several distinct contexts. Our laboratory is measuring telomere length as an environmentally-impacted biomarker associated with prostate cancer incidence and progression (collaboratively with Dr. T. Rebbeck and colleagues at University of Pennsylvania). In addition, we are developing both next-gen sequence-based and single-molecule fluorescence-based approaches to detect and characterize mutated and dysfunctional telomeres in cancer cells as well as in cells of individuals bearing constitutional ring chromosomes (collaboratively with Dr. Ming Xiao at Drexel and Dr. Nancy Spinner at CHOP).

Amazon Reveals $299 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, $499 LTE Model with $50 Yearly Data Plan

Kindle Fire HD 7"
Kindle Fire HD features 8.9" IPS display with 1920x1200 resolution
As the only company that has released a tablet that has managed to take a dent out of Apple's iPad sales (the Kindle Fire accounts for
22% of U.S. tablet sales
), many people are looking forward to seeing what Amazon's next generation Kindle Fire has in store. The first generation Kindle Fire made a splash with a $199 price point and 7" form-factor, but Amazon is looking to expand the lineup's appeal with second generation the devices.
The first up is a refreshed 7" model. It keeps the same look as the original, but includes a faster processor and twice the RAM. In addition, the price has been slashed from $199 to $159. It's hard to argue with faster performance and a cheaper price tag.
But the big announcement is the Kindle Fire HD. This new tablet is available with a 7" (1280x800) or 8.9" IPS display (1920x1200). The 8.9" Kindle Fire HD is only 8.8mm thick and weighs just 1.25 pounds. Powering the Kindle Fire HD is a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos even took at a dig at the Apple iPad by announcing that the Kindle Fire HD comes with dual stereo speakers that feature Dolby Digital Plus technology. The Kindle Fire HD also includes dual Wi-Fi antennas an MIMO compared to a single Wi-Fi antenna on the iPad and Nexus 7. Bezos says this allows its Kindle Fire HD tablets to outperform all competitors in Wi-Fi bandwidth tests.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9" showing "FreeTime"
Another interesting feature that Amazon is introducing with the Kindle Fire HD is FreeTime. FreeTime allows a parents to setup profiles on the device so that children will only have access to "kid-friendly" content while the grownups can still have access to entire spectrum of content. The profiles will also allow parents to limit how much time their child plays on the device.
The Kindle Fire HD will be available with 16GB of storage capacity and also includes HDMI out and Bluetooth. The 7" model will be priced at $199 (ships September 14) while the 8.9" model rings in at $299 (ships November 20).
Amazon also announced one additional member to the Kindle Fire HD family. The Kindle Fire HD LTE 4G model is priced at $499, includes 32GB of storage, and comes with an amazing data package. For just $49.99/year, you get 250MB of bandwidth per month, 20GB of cloud storage space, and a $10 in Appstore credit. Can you say game changer?
The Kindle Fire HD LTE 4G will ship on November 20.
For those that prefer Amazon's more traditional line of e-readers, the company also today announced the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite features a higher resolution screen with 212 ppi (62 percent more pixels than previous model) that offers whiter whites and blacker blacks.
Kindle Paperwhite
The capacitive touch screen device is 9.1mm thick, weighs just 7.5 ounces, and had an 8-week battery life. It costs $119 and will ship on October 1. The Kindle Paperwhite 3G will also ship on October 1 for $179.
Even further done the e-reader ladder is the standard "Kindle". Amazon has updated the Kindle to include new fonts and crisper text, and has dropped the price from $79 to $69. It will ship on September 14.

Who did you go to prom with?
Eco-friendly over paper or plastic, tyvm.ReplyCancel
My school didn't have a prom. No one wanted one.ReplyCancel
A Gay friend.ReplyCancel
My high school sweetheart. Who is now a star in the nfl. Yeah, I blew that one. LolReplyCancel
LOL @hollywood dime. I went with my highschool sweetheart too. But he didn't end up in the NFL. He's fat and unsuccessful LOL. He deserves it though!! Asshole cheated on me with a freshman later that year.ReplyCancel
I went with the only male cheerleader at my school. We had a blast, and he was a perfect gentleman. He came out shortly after, but I had already known. So, that was my first and only time bearding.ReplyCancel
loser boyfriend who told me he was 21, later i found out he was really 27.
That was just one of the many lies
Just once I'd like it to say "Who did you go to Junior-Senior Banquet with?"
Some of us didn't have the luck to attend a loose-morals prom with whoreish dancing like the public school kids. Watered down KoolAid and rubbery Chicken a la King were just fine for us.
Besides, everyone knows that dancing is like having sex standing up, which leads to un-wed teen mothers. Sheesh.ReplyCancel
I am a high school drop out.ReplyCancel
My now husband and my parents chaperoned- but they spent all night at the bar. Fun times in catholic school!ReplyCancel
@teresa a freshman?!! Ewwww. LolReplyCancel
Oh… and it was Rhonda Vander-something. And she ditched me to go drinking with her girlfriends. Boy, high school memories are great!ReplyCancel
I was supposed to go with an older guy from my Spanish class. But then I heard that he was going around bragging about how he was going to hook up with me. So I waited until the last minute, told him off publicly and then went with my gay BFF. Best decision ever.ReplyCancel
You are all ruining my image of an all-American prom being the highlight of your school days.
As a pupil at an all girls school in England in the 1980s proms were unheard of and I think my headmistress would have expired rather than consider such a thing.
I went with a friend (Laurie) whom I had made out with once at another dance several weeks before prom. By the time prom rolled around, I was actually dating another girl, Carole.
Years later, I heard that Carole and her husband died on their honeymoon in Spain, car went off a mountainside or something to that effect. Has to be one of the saddest things that ever happened to someone I knew.
Sorry, back to your regularly scheduled infighting/trolling.ReplyCancel
Didn't go.ReplyCancel
I stayed home from the prom & met up with my friends for the after party as no one asked me to go & I was not trying to go solo. So humiliating to not get asked at all. Especially in hindsight knowing some day my kids will probably ask me about it when they are that age. The worst part was, I was actually kind of a hottie back in the days and very active socially on cheer, dance team, homecoming court runner up, etc. but must have put off a real bitch vibe to the fellas, because I was rarely asked out, especially to dances etc.
To add insult to injury, the week before prom I was bombarded with guys asking me "So who's taking you to the Prom?" and I had to admit that I wasn't going and no one had asked, only to be told by no less than 15 guys the week of that "I would have asked you if I knew no one else had!" Yeah, pretty awesome for the self esteem.
Perfect timing Enty, as we meeting up this week to start planning our upcoming 20th HS Reunion. Now I'm feeling old, and rejected. Might need a cocktail at lunch today. 😉ReplyCancel
Went stag with some girlfriends and I kinda sorta stole some girl's date. She keep whining about not wanting to spend the entire night with him and begging other girls to dance with him. I took over early on and left her free to mingle, then she tried complaining that I took her date. I swiftly reminded her of the earlier requests and shut her up. Worked out great for me, we went to the same college and the rest is history. Going on 8 years!ReplyCancel
I never went to the prom. I'm the girl guys never asked out. 🙁ReplyCancel
My then boyfriend. He was 21.ReplyCancel
I was just about to ask about the … um … Junior-senior banquet. Yes, it sounds like a laugh riot, with the rubbery chicken and ban on sex-dancing.
I went to more the prom style thing, called 'formals' here. Went to five in my last year – yep, I was just that popular. Oh – I guess people could also think that I was just really slutty.
I didn't want dramatically expensive dresses, but it amuses in retrospect that there was zero discussion about dress costs – of course I should have 5 (not have to double up). I suspect both parental units were impressed with my haul, especially since I'd always been little miss alt.
Ah, life and times!ReplyCancel
I was dumped 2 weeks before the prom. Went with a friend who it turns out liked me & never spoke to me again after he didn't get lucky! Also, my mom loaded the camera film wrong (way back when, kids, there was film) & I don't have any photos of me looking hot in my dress!ReplyCancel
Didn't go, didn't care.ReplyCancel
Ha ha, Charlie! I went to a private Christian high school, and they called it the Junior Senior Banquet. No hussy dancing allowed! I went with my then-boyfriend, and it was pretty snoozey
My senior year I begged to go to public school, and went with my boyfriend who I wound up marrying. For some reason I got it in my head that I wanted to have my dress made, and I wound up with a really expensive purple tank dress that looks like I found in a bargain bin. It was the 90's, so everyone looked pretty trashy. ha haReplyCancel
I didn't go because nobody invited me, plus I was too insecure and shy to brave going on my own.
Do I regret it? No way! I'm light years ahead of where I was way back when, and don't really get all the fuss about them.
Over here, the girls are spending big $ on what we call the "school ball" … some spend the sort of money on theirs that I spent on my wedding dress, hair, make-up and flowers combined! #Cra-zeeee!ReplyCancel
@Alita – I'm going to go all out and guess you're either an Aussie or Kiwi, 'cos that's what they were known as when I went to school (they're now called 'school balls' for most).ReplyCancel
O/T – can I just say – because I'm bursting with excitement and am about to implode! – that I'm off to the Eminem concert this Saturday! And, even better, we have backstage passes and will be meeting him. I'd better resist all temptation to do a sing along :-/ReplyCancel
@Crank Tango – oh no, that is so sad! RIP to Carole and her husband 🙁ReplyCancel

During the Christmas holidays I spent some time "refurbishing" a netbook me and my girlfriend have, but is not used, into an home-made media center, running (at the moment) plain Ubuntu 12.10.
We watch some TV, during and after dinner, mostly for TV series and movies, and we used to do that loading everything on a USB key attached to the TV. A boring, and repetitive task. So why not giving some new life to that small netbook?
All the ingredients for this recipe are:
- A netbook (this one has an Atom N570 CPU, 1GB RAM, 500GB disk)
- Copy of Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit
- VGA cable
- 2 USB hard-disks
- A Hi-Fi system (optional)
Installing the operating system, the necessaries codecs and all the updates is an easy-peasy experience nowadays. Nothing special to report, everything works flawlessly. After connecting all the cables, safely hidden from the eye (the back of the TV is turning into a jungle), the netbook-turned-media-center is now stored in a shady place in the living room, connected to the TV via its VGA cable (unfortunately the only video output), linked to the Hi-Fi via Bluetooth (hurray! one cable less!), with close to 2TB of USB-connected disk space, sharing videos and music on the internal network.
At the moment I'm piloting the media center via a VNC connection from a Nexus 7, but I'm planning to find a (or write my own) keyboard and mouse app for the tablet to pair up via Bluetooth with the netbook. Or a special Ubuntu oriented Android app to control an Ubuntu machine in an easy way.
I tried installing Rygel to serve media files, but had no luck in making it work. I will have to dig deeper and give it another try. The other solution I was pondering was to install XMBC. Time permitting, I'll probably try it out.
Of course everything is not perfect: I have some high quality videos, Matroska files weighing from 2 to 8 GB, that the system is not handling in a good way. The smallest ones are not reproduced correctly, audio and video are out of sync, the biggest ones are not reproduced at all: or you get video, or you get audio. Guess the decoding is not that fast to handle everything is a smooth way. Listening to music via the Bluetooth connection to the Hi-Fi, is not as bad as I would have thought: it actually provides a really enjoyable experience.

Nation Radio - April 14, 2012
April 15 2012 11:25AM
As Canucks fans stare into the abyss of a potential first round upset, Oilers fans are left celebrating the only thing the team seems to win these days - the draft lottery. For the third straight year, Edmonton will select first overall in June, meaning the only thing left to debate is whether the club will pick Nail Yakupov or choose to plug other holes on the roster by trading down.
To tackle this question and other matters, Allan talked with a number of notable gents yesterday, including player agent Tom Lynn, advanced stats guru Gabriel Desjardins and Oil Kings play-by-play voice Corey Graham.
This is Nation radio.
First up is former Minnesota Wild AGM Tom Lynn. He and LT discuss free agent Justin Shultz, the upcoming draft and the like of an NHL player agent.
If you missed it the first time, here is the Steve Tambellini press conference.
In part 3, LT talks about the possibility of moving Taylor Hall to center.
Gabriel Desjardins of behindthenet.ca fame stops by and shares his playoff predictions. The upstart Florida Panthers are also discussed.
The voice of the Oil Kings Corey Graham joins LT for a look at the upcoming Kings/Warriors series as well as probable first rounder Griffin Reinhart and Oilers prospect Kristians Pelss.
We finish off with Kevin Lowe's recent appearance on the Jason Gregor show.
Whole thing.
BPA for Fist.
No tradesy's for Yak. Take him and do not look back.
The podcast would be nie to listen to if they were there.
Take that back.Sorry my bad.
A couple of notes: the Gregor-Lowe interview is gold, it really is. Also, Tom Lynn is just outstanding, very good comments. And Gabe rocks the playoffs! Wish I'd talked to him before making my picks for the ON playoff game! Damn!
I think the Oilers will still take Nail, how can you give up a guy like that?
By having Nail, the Oilers can spread their offence out more making it harder for teams to defend against.
They could still roll out with Eberle/Nugent-Hopkins/Hall all on the first line or have two guys on the first line and another two on the second line.
Even though a lot people think the Oiler should trade the pick, they could still land a d-man or two via free agency or through trades. They could still trade away Gagner. If they trade the pick, they'll want a top 2 d-man for sure. They should have enough money, I'm hearing rumblings the Oilers are not looking to resign Ryan Smyth, especially at the money he is making.
To define the real season is to make it into the playoffs and then "fight like hell", pun intended.
if we have learned anything ( Lowe and Tamby excluded) watching the playoffs so far, is that you need toughness throughout the line-up! There are more battles, more body checking, more open ice hits, more fighting........I wonder how our little team would fare?
Enough hobbits....... time for us to compliment each line with someone who can play and still be a physical deterrent.
The Oilers will almost surely be taking Yakupov and it has to do with that there are no such defenceman kids ready and good enough to help the team get into the playoffs this next year like a Smid or Petry or Suter type player. There are a few in this draft that will be like Petry or maybe even better but these kids (i.e; Murray, Reilly, Dumba, Reinhart)will be better in two to three more years.
As the end of season interviews show, Hall, Eberle, and Hopkins say no more to losing and no moire to lotteries. Take Yakupov and start building the defence now with trades.
Offense from Yakupov with the three young guns is natural, is explosive and it's ready now top fire up this team. If Hemsky, Horcoff, and Smyth can be good about being with lesser minutes then we got two to three lines that are very strong offensively against any team in the league, more so even.
The Oilers can and/or will go after those more ready now such as that J. Shultz, or in a dynamic package trade. The team has a lot of cap space.
Speaking of trades, the Oilers are too top heavy with the same type players and a couple vets not likely to want to play third line minutes. The team can trade Gagner, Hemsky, Omark, Peckham, Barker, Potter, etc, and still get a first rounder to high second rounder in this years draft to get a good defence prospect to go with the ones we have. I think the Oil will listen to offers but then say enough but they will take Yakupov and say lets get back to Oiler's Firewagon hockey now once more as see what happens.
your streaming program is crap on this site
wow, Philly is layin the boots
What a freakin game!!!!!!!Philly and the Pens. Thats Hockey! Speed. Skill. Toughness. Thats why we wait 84 games so that we can turn on the TV on a Sunday afternoon in April and watch teams lay all out. Thats what makes the Stanley Cup the worlds hardest trophy to achieve. Just when you one round the next round gets even tougher. Attrition is the catch word. Todays games were frakin the bomb. Washington vs Boston 2xot. It only gets better.
The comments I overheard today from Marc Crawford were insightful when he said the key to the game for Philly was thier speed. Speed folks. Thats right. Not thier size of thier strength. Thier speed. The Oilers would be on freakin crack if they don't draft Yakupov. He has Pavel Bure speed. Him with Hall,Eberle,RHN and Hemsky. Speed. I am Speed. Lightning MCNail.
Ok now just how are our hobbits supposed to fight the awks in this league. It seems to me as evidenced by the game you are referring to speed was nuteralized with physical play.
Just watch the game man........big guys can skate too!
Guys like you are so comical, do you believe everything you hear?
Who got 2 goals today for Philly. The Hobbit Daniel Brier. Oops sorry forgot guys like me do not watch hockey? Are you even real? Pavel Bure was neutralized by physical play? Eberle was neutralized to the tune of 33 goals? Make an argument that can pass the smell test. If size and speed were the only criteria we would have kept Penner. Speed plain and simple.No matter the size, speed is the key to winning games.
Philly has size. But the one thing they won't be able to rely on moving on into the next round is the goaltending..886 gaa for Bryzgalov. Lets see how that comes out in the wash when the Flyers play against a goalie who can make a save. Fleury has been awful. Special teams awful. Philly will need more from thier top players once they play Boston or New Jersey.
Man, I'm so sick of hearing the smurf arguement.
Not sure who to credit, but someone on the last thread posted the height and weight of the Flyers, guess what, they're not all 6'4 200+lbs
Sure, the Oilers don't "play tough", but outside of Engelland and Asham, its not like the Penguins are a bubbling cesspool of rage.
Crosby fought Giroux, Timonen fought Letang, yeah, I'm convinced no Oilers could tangle those beasts, those enormous bone-crushing giants.
April 15 2012, 07:23PM
Draft Yakupov, I don't see people in Chicago complaining with having Toews, Kane, Hossa and Sharp. I realize they have Keith and Seabrook, but I'd rather have the forwards and trade for the Dmen, not the other way around.
Imagine this, down by one in the third and the goalie pulled. Hall, Eberle, Nuge, Yakupov and two defenseman in to tie it up. Sickening......

Ok if that is you argument........speed above all else, then I pray for the safety of our high skill guys in the post season, assuming we get there sometime.
I can see our high speed guys getting run and creamed and all we have is Hordichuck every fourth shift holding people to account. Yea that will work.
The big bad Bruins nuteralized the Canucks speed and clobbered them into oblivion last year and the Flyers are doing it to the fastest team the penguins this year.
Your argument is hollow.......just like your head!

@Rama Lama
Why do you and others feel the need to insult posters whom you don't agree with?
@Wanyes bastard child
It was the way he responded. I never accused him of not watching hockey or not knowing anything like he suggested.
April 15 2012, 08:08PM
@Wanyes bastard child
It's insecurity. I would just like to see a game like Philly vs. Pittsburgh played by the Oil in the post season. Gotta love high emotion and high scoring.
So trade down but how far, maybe 7-8 spots plus getting there pick and a player. Columbus has Tyutin 4.5 cap hit or Brassard 3.2 Montreal Subban RFa ???? or Gorges 2.5 NYI really only Okoposa 2.8 then Toronto Gunnarson 1.325 , Gardiner 1.116 maybe Scenn but 3.6 ; Anaheim has Sbiba 2.175 or Fowler 1.4 Minnesota may give up Clutterbuck 1.4 & Winnipeg has Wheeler 2.55 or Bogosian @ 2.5 Do you really think any GM will do this so my guess is Yakupov is an Oiler . If Tambellini can't get a player of value and there top pick He would need to be tarred & feathered then railroaded back to the Canucks . If he could get Value then maybe we should .
With the oilers holding the ace. What would it take to deal the card? This year's playoff is really a display of what the oilers have very little of. Strength gritt size and a tenatious battle level... To Montreal 1st overall pick. To Edmonton Pk Subban, Jarad Tinordi and the Habs pick. Would you do it ?
April 15 2012, 11:17PM
#Thank you LA for another win!
We need a Dustin Brown,what a hit.Sorry Horc thats how you lead.Does Pitlick not play that style?Maybe a poor mans Brown.
Sure. I'd do a lot of things in the privacy of my own cubicle. But I wouldn't do it in public.Neither would Montreal. Neither should you.
April 16 2012, 01:07AM
Agreed. I am skeptical that the young oil guns can maych the physical commitment shown by this years playoff teams but I am often wrong. I just want to see if they can elevate their game since they have not had a chance yet at the NHL level. Praying that next year we all have a chance to see real hockey in April in River City, and the kids hold their own.
April 16 2012, 01:10AM
Sorry, forgot to say I was agreeing with BitchumiNation. Also, finish off those canucks in 4. Don't give them any air.
April 16 2012, 07:17AM
What are you on? It must be good stuff. Why in the world would Montreal come close to doing something like that? I've seem some lopsided trade suggestions here (a couple of months of Ryan Smyth for Dougie Hamilton??) but that one is just bad.
WOW ! Three years now and we got to 29th position . Three more years under present management and we should be fighting for 26-28 th position . Now thats progress . When will Oilers change management so we can get a taste of Mister Right ? The right track is outside of present management .

"SPCA Report Confirms Problems"
Is Not Available At This Time.
SPCA Report Confirms Problems
Are you satisfied by the report?
i am outraged that john faso is allowed to continue at expense of helpless animals-does no one have the common sense to escort him out
Darn, fire the people involved in this heartless and cruel treatment of these poor animals. There is absolutely no call for neglect. With today's job market there is an abundant supply of caring help.....get rid of the scum!!!!!
Satisfied for now
It is not what you want to hear, the cruel way these animals were put down. Really sad, but hopefully this will stop and a compassionate form as ECSPCA does, will be enacted, today. I was hoping to not hear all was OK, and things were reported inaccurately. Lets just hope changes are made as all eyes are on them. Paul Buffalo,ny
I can't believe this Faso guy has got a lawyer and is "clinging" to his job. I'm guessing by his nice photo he makes good money, and never gets his lily white hands dirty cleaning out cat pans. Out where I live the head of our SPCA DOES IT ALL! She works right along side of her volunteers. And truly LOVES the animals. This Faso looks like he only loves himself, or he would have left by now. It made me absolutly sick to hear how those animals were killed. Animals look to us with trust and love. And this is what they get? Also, good job by the Erie county SPCA. At least you can still believe in them.
Animal lover
What a sad and tragic story. Every day animals who are living in homes are treated w/ neglect and cruelty but to have these events take place where these creatures should have been protected, is just astounding and maddening. Shame on those individualswho allowed these inhumane practices to take place. God bless Barbara Carr and the wonderful compassionate folks at the ECSPCA.
Kill Faso
I think someone should stick John Faso in his sick heart, if he has one.
Like Bob Barker Says
Part of this blame should be put on the local public for letting these animals reproduce at the rate they do. The report clearly states the SPCA is not equipped - equipment, space or financially - to handle this number of animals. People, if you have an animal - get it spayed or neutered. Your 'barn cat' having 3 litters a year is where all these cats come from.
Mike Storck
In this day when Boards across the Nation are being held accountable for what their corporations or not-for-profits do, the Board of the Niagara County SPCA must be scrutinized carefully by looking into its minutes and other records to determine what if any oversight they really were engaging in. What reports were asked for, what standards of diligence were requested to assure that Niagara County SPCA was operating normally for such organizations, how often did the board members actually visit the facilities, who other than director Faso was consulted for reports and information? These questions are important because these are the things that responsible Boards do.
agree with "Like Bob Barker Says"
I agree wwith this statement. How can the SPCA alone be blamed for the overwhelming numbers coming in it's doors? Spaying/neutering would alleviate a large part of this problem. Dog breeding also needs to be regulated, not just something people do to make a few extra bucks! People who let their animals breed continually are just as much to blame for the cruel method used in this case. However, really, couldn't they have sedated these poor animals? What a horrible way to die, just because you are "surplus" and "unwanted". People who give up on a problem animal are to blame as well; try harder to resolve the issue!
I have to agree with over population being a huge issue...
Awful that hundreds of animals were put down for space. The big problem is what does the facility do with 3,000 plus cats per year? Wow! Would every protester be willing to donate $500/yr to prevent it - not sure. Report is good glad the guy is gone. I think Bauerele was harsh on the previous director - I was a volunteer back then that facility wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for him and their team. The orginal shelter on Military was really awful!
Over Population is a huge problem
How can any facility afford to feed and house thousands of cats? Report is good glad guy is gone. Bauerle was tough on the previous director I was a volunteer back then that facility wouldn't be there today without their team! Board is awful howcan they expect a good work environment if they are asking the employees to spu on their boss - that's the boards job!

I'm applying for several grants from other sources and don't know when I'll hear about them. What if I get another grant in addition to an IAF Fellowship?
I understand that I am expected to reside continuously in the country where I intend to do research for the duration of my research period unless my departure is authorized. Please explain.
A: Applicants may request IAF funding for a maximum of 12 months. The rationale for the research period, whether lasting 12 months or for a shorter duration, should be clearly stated as it is a criterion considered by the review panel.
back to top
A: Past project proposals are not available for review.
A: Applicants are encouraged to read current and past issues of the IAF's annual report and its journal, Grassroots Development. These publications are available at theIAF's website and in the libraries of most U.S. universities. Printed copies of Inquiry at the Grassroots, a selection of journal articles written by 12 former Fellows in the doctoral field research program and published by the IAF in English and in Spanish, are available upon request for as long as they are in stock. The articles focus on such topics as environmentally sustainable development, sustainable agriculture, housing and health in eight Latin American and Caribbean countries.
A: Yes. The selection committee will consider the rationale for and the feasibility of conducting research in the locations and during the time specified for each. You should identify affiliations in each country and submit all necessary research clearances and, if applicable, an additional language report. Air fare will be covered to the point farthest from the Fellow's home in the U.S.
A: The date and location will be decided after the Fellows are chosen. Fellows will be notified as soon as the information is available.
A: The IAF reviews requests for approval to accept other grants on an individual basis. In general the IAF will not approve a request to accept other support that runs concurrently with our Fellowship and duplicates its benefits.
A: The IAF considers departure requests on a case-by-case basis. However, unless the purpose of the authorized departure is academic or emergency-based, the Fellowship stipend will usually be reduced by an amount equal to the daily rate times the number of days spent away from the country of the research. Documentation is required.

[caution: technically, downloading magazines or books illegally is stealing from big, fat corporate farts … or authors]
ipad is really great … for reading. and although big media co.s & magazines are killing themselves to come up with fancy apps … for reading their content (which is already available for free on the web) … there's nothing like being able to see – a full page magazine like national geographic, sports illustrated, playboy, car and driver or rolling stone. in all of their glory, with full page pictures and text on all of that 10 inch display in your hand. ipad seems to have been designed exactly for that purpose.
so, how to download most popular magazines / books for free and transfer them onto your ipad … even when on the go, not connected to your computer?
[shocker … for this "how to" you won't even need to jailbreak your ipad! but if want to have "properly" cracked books on your iBooks app, with covers & re-sizable text & notes … jailbreaking is required]
what you need is a good pdf viewer. we recommend one of the best iPad apps:
– goodReader – $1 (yes, you can find it for free, but don't) – this app will allow you to: view pdf magazines & books, transfer them from your computer wirelessly or download them on the go, and open in another pdf reader, like iBooks.
* so, now – where do i find free popular magazines / books? *
1) you can SEARCH for them on filesTubes or torrent sites under "e-books":
just use the name of the magazine + "pdf". e.g. "car and driver pdf" ->
name of a book + "epub" or "pdf". e.g. "DaVinci Code pdf" [see below, for more on free eBooks]
2) here's list of few, good WEBSITES that list popular magazines and ebooks as they get released:
thepiratebay.org (torrent / e-books) | magazinesDownload.com | storeMags.com (nice layout, NSFW (most porn) – if you can't download a link, just copy the name of the file & search via fileTubes) |
* how to download pdf mags or books … while on the go? *
another great asset of GoodReader is the ability of download books & magazines on the go: … [instructions coming soon]
* how to get paid, popular books for iBook app … for free *
yes, you can actually download popular paid books … for free. but, they are not easy to find (lots of them have been removed from rapidshare)
1) you will need to jailbreak & install AppSync for this one
2) SEARCH fileTubes or bittorrent sites – name of the book + "epub" (e.g. "the lost symbol epub" – [unfortunately they are difficult to find, so looking for a book name + "pdf" is much easier]
– gxiso.com – amazing collection of 100+ books [stephen king, Rich Dad Poor Dad, etc]
but … all of those books have been removed from rapidshare 😦 … we were able to find them 🙂 but, PLEASE DONATE IF YOU LIKE THIS POST! a lot of time goes into finding those …. here's part 1 as a sample (all books in 6-3-10.rar from gxiso webiste) – once donations will flow in, we will post all of those books here … as one file. thx
– thePirateBay.org (books) / most downloaded (mags & tech books mostly)
– (legit books) epubbud.com | epubbooks.com | project gutenberg
– other interesting links: Amazon.com: 50 Books You MUST Read Before You Die
4) finally, you can convert pdf books into epub format, but it's a pain
** ohh, once you have the epub file … just drag int to iTunes & sync 🙂 **
[ note to big corporations, media outlets & publishers ]
– stop trying to fingure out how to protect your precious content
– stop wasting time & resources trying to develop apps which display the content of your magazines in a fancy way (like wired magazine)
1) in today's information overload, your content becomes outdated in a week if not days. especially that is available for FREE on the web
2) we consumers / readers don't really care about fancy videos & animations in digital magazines … we want to READ them & see pictures. and with wired's magazine rediculous size of 500mb … equal to 1.5h decent quality movie, no one will be able to fit more then 2-3 of those mag "apps" on their digital devices (yes, ipad tablet alternatives will start poping out soon like mashroooms … all "requiring" another version of your fancy app)
scan them as pdfs & sell them for 1/2 price of the newsstand edition!
– don't bother protecting them via DRM, passwords, etc (just take a look how badly RIAA & MPAA lost that battle).
– each magazine will be about 50mb in size and will be readable by ALL digital devices available in the world today …
– & for $3-5 per magazines more consumers will opt to buy instead of downloading them illegally … i would

The incident was reported to be in the area of the Harrisburg Post Office.
An ambulance transported Barton to Harrisburg, but medical staff were unable to revive her. Watson pronounced Barton dead at 11:48 a.m.
Watson said there is no evidence of foul play and he is waiting on preliminary results of a post-mortem examination.

Pouches, Ring Slings, Mei Tais and Wraps for all your Babywearing Needs
Wraps are very comfortable and very versatile. However, like Amy mentioned they do take some practice to learn to use. If you don't mind spending a little time learning how to use them, you can wear your son very comfortably. Mei tais are easier and also very comfortable. You can wear your son on your front, hip or back with both types of carriers and they both distribute the weight over both shoulders. If you're wanting something easy, I would recommend a mei tai. It's similar to a snugli, but much more comfortable.

I'm a wrapper, after trying pretty much everything. The beauty of wraps is their versatility -- you can use them for front, back, or hip carries. There is definitely a learning curve, but there's a wealth of knowledge and videos that you can find online to help you out. That being said, mei teis might be an easy, equally comfortable option for you.
I like this post, my 14 mo old is also very large she is 31in. probably more by now that was 2 mo ago and 22 lbs. And she get's excited whenever she sees the wrap, which I prefer since it evenly distributes her wait, I had to give up my pouch about 5 lbs ago. She loves it when we go out to a museum or the zoo, but that's about it. Like another mom said as soon as I get her in it she wants to go do something else. It makes me so sad when I hear about other mom's whose toddler still sleep in their slings. My daughter was an early walker and just prefers to be on the go. I miss just hanging out with her in the sling.
I had a Close pre-formed wrap at first as I was a bit nervous about the free-form wrap and all that fabric. After a while it was a bit too stretchy though so I got a Moby and that seemed better for my heavier toddler and also had a hip-hold. Now I'm confident I'd use the Moby from birth. My daughter is 19m and loves to go in the hip hold, facing mummy or breastfeeding. She often misses her nap now but can't always go all day so she has a sleepy feed in what we call 'slingthing' and that's enough. Today I went right round the supermarket while she did that! I think some people thought 'why doesnt she put the child to sleep in the pushchair, stupid woman' (I was happily chucking my shopping in there!) Some people were clearly debating 'is she doing what I think she's doing with that child in there/surely not?' I couldn't BF in the Close sling as it only does sitting up and she never liked that and I had a couple of friends with wraps who didn't have instructions on BF with theirs, so I'd say the instructions are key or else it is just, well, a very long piece of fabric! Thanks to my Moby instructions they now BF on the school run, etc. It's the best bit of kid-kit you could ever buy: from teething to feeding, from illess to raging temperature, from I need to avoid a parking ticket and feed you to i've tried everything else, this bit of kit does it! It's now always the first (and usually last!) thing I try in order to fix my little girl's world x
We have the African baby carrier and I still both my boys in it, we only have one, but they both love it. Daniel is the oldest at nearly 3 and a half and he weighs 33 pounds, and baby who is nearly 2 weighs 24 pounds. So easy to carry both. I often carry baby in the carrier when he is tired, when we are home, and also when we are out...he only likes to be in it at home when I cook, late afternoon, otherwise just when we are out and about.

Tony Federer has never been one to sit still–or stay indoors. In 1995 the Kearsarge, New Hampshire, resident kicked off his retirement from the U.S. Forest Service, where he'd worked for 40 years as a research scientist, by hiking the 2,175-mile Appalachian Trail.
His outdoor resume also includes several finishes of the grueling footrace up Mount Washington's auto road, and multiple national orienteering championships–hard-core trail and bushwhacking runs that demand expert map and compass skills.
Still, last July, on a sun-soaked afternoon atop New Hampshire's 3,196-foot North Moat Mountain, even Federer stopped for a second to marvel at what he'd accomplished. With two friends, a bottle of champagne, and an uninterrupted view of the Mount Washington Valley below him, the 69-year-old celebrated what few ever have: the hiking of all 549 trails in the Appalachian Mountain Club's White Mountain Guide (details at ecoshift.net). No one keeps official records on who's traversed all 1,421 miles, but unofficially only Dave Govatski of Jefferson, New Hampshire, and Larry Garland of Jackson, New Hampshire, had done so previously.
Federer's entree into the Whites began early, as a kid in the 1940s with his parents. By age 8 he'd hiked Mount Washington, and by the 1950s he was redlining his AMC guide (the traditional form of marking off trails). It's a six-decade odyssey that has ranged from a 13-night circuit through the Whites to a simple daytrip up Mount Willey.
Obsessive? Not really. His finish is born more from a passion for discovery. "I don't have any favorite spots," says Federer, who moved from the seacoast to the Whites in 2005. "I just like new places." That included his final hike, a 10-mile scamper up North Moat and back, a mountain he can see from his bedroom and one he'd poetically saved for last. "It was nice to get up there," he says with a laugh. "I'd been looking at it for three years."
