Not So GoodI was very disappointed in this clipless iron because I couldn't get a curl after trying several times. Plus, after burning myself twice I decided it was time to return it. Overrated.

Best Curling Wand I Have Used!This curling wand it great for big loose curls. My sister has the Bombay hair curling wand but I have found that the Sedu curls hold longer and are less prone to frizz. I have great bodied curls the day of which loosen to a nice wave by the next day. It's heats up really quickly too! I wouldn't recommend the 1.5 inch barrel to people with hair any shorter than shoulder length.Jan 10, 2016Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Great Shine & Lasting WavesSo, first off, a nod to Folica customer service: When this curling wand arrived, I found out (the hard way- OUCH) that the heat resistant glove had a hole in the index finger. I called Folica and they sent out a new one immediately!
To the iron itself: I have owned a number of traditional curling irons, most recently two Gold N Hot (a 1.5" and a 2") in the search for beautiful waves. I could never master the wavy look with these and thus retired them to the unused hair tools bin. I also have a BaByliss Nano Titanium conical iron that left me with a smaller curl at the ends of my hair than at the root - weird, right? No matter what technique I tried, neither the clip curling irons or the conical iron gave me the results I wanted.
Then I took a chance on the Sedu Revolution Clipless iron. I got the 38mm (1.5") because I am not looking for curls, just big waves and some volume.
I tried it the day it came in with no heat, curl or hair spray just to see how long they would last. The very first thing I noticed is that the waves were SHINY (something that never happened with other irons, even flat irons). The second is that the waves lasted two days despite sleeping on them. Granted, the fell out a bit, but my hair had a nice bend to it and retained volume.
Since then I've tried the hot heat setting (my hair is coarse but relaxed, so I shy away from the highest heat setting on styling tools) as well and I had waves in a shorter amount of time but they were still quite shiny. I've also tried it with various texture sprays (applied to the roots AFTER the waves are set) and hair sprays.
I won't be using this every day to save my hair from too much heat, but I'm VERY tempted to!
The following section is YMMV, so take what I say as you will:
A quick not about curls vs waves: There are different methods to wrapping your hair around irons in general (either twisted or flat or a combination of both) that will yield you different result. Both the size of the barrel and the size of the section of hair you use will also yield different results. Also, the way you hold the iron (horizontal vs vertical) will give you different looks. What's popular now, "beachy" hair is NOT a curly look, it's a wavy look. Curls have more of a ringlet look (where the hair will curl around to meet itself) whereas wavy hair will fall and not meet itself.
This iron can give you waves in varying sizes, but it's unlikely to give you curls. The reason is that the ends of the hair are left out (you'll be holding the end in your hands - with the glove on, of course, unless you like to live dangerously) instead of having the ends wrapped up against the barrel as with a traditional curling iron. You CAN hold the ends up against the barrel for waves all the way to the ends of your hair, but this iron gets HOT so I recommend you do this in the last few seconds of each section you are waving.
That said, experiment with the times each section of hair is waved and the amount of hair in each section.
More tips: Let the wave completely cool before you do anything with it! And to maintain length, I start wrapping the hair about 1/2 way down the hair instead of closer to the root in the under layers of my hair. (The top layers are wrapped about 1/3 of they way down or even closer to the root to give volume). I also brush out the underneath layers of the hair (again, AFTER the waves have cooled) and finger-comb the top layers. I apply a texurizing spray to the roots after I've done all the waves by taking a rat tail comb to gently lift the top sections of my hair and apply the spray if I'm going for a big, glam look. Other than that, I use a flexible hair spray (I hate crunchy hair) lightly all over then gently scrunch it in (again - AFTER the waves have cooled)

Love It!Curled my hair and lightly sprayed it on the afternoon of July 4th. Was outside all afternoon, evening. Slept on it and got up the next morning and tossed my head upside down and tossed my hair a little, and the curls were still there! I did nothing to it and walked out the door. I love this wand!!Jul 24, 2015Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

So Far Loving It!I have only used the Sedu Clipless Curling Iron a few times but I am definitely happy with it. I was hesitant because of the price, but I had purchased a cheap $30 one and had horrible results. So I decided to give the Sedu a try. I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it a lot and then use a curling iron to achieve those beach curls (as my natural curls are half wavy half ringlet and sometimes frizzy). I found that I could use this iron with my straight hair AND even my curly hair. It held the curls so well even after a day or two. And it def gave me the beachy waves I've been wanting. I definitely use a smoothing cream or serum, just because my hair naturally has fly-aways and can frizz. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is I have only used it twice, so I am not sure how long it will last and I have not played around much with it, but I LOVE IT and do not regret spending a little more for a great product!Jul 13, 2015Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron

Location Of Temp ControlsI LOVE my Sedu flat iron...so naturally I wanted to try the clipless curling iron. The biggest disappointment for me on the curling iron is the location of the temperature controls. The placement of them makes it such that your fingers hit them and change the temperature of the iron. It was so frustrating to me that I sadly returned this product.Jan 6, 2015Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron

Love Iron, Hate Cord, Love FolicaMy 2 daughters and I all have this iron (actually 3 of them). We have had to return all 3 at different times because the cord shorts out. Luckily it has been within the 2 year warranty that Folica offers and they replaced them very quickly after we paid the $9.95 for a warranty return. On my last return transaction the very helpful customer service person told me that the problem is caused because we wrap the cord around the handle when the iron is not in use (after it is cool of course) and that the cords are very sensitive about this. I think this is a design flaw. If you do not want to leave your tools out on your counter all day you have to do something with the cord to store them. So I figure we get about 2 years of use out of each $119 curling wand....does not see like a very cost effective tool. Sedu should redesign the spinning cord so that it can be stored without causing problems. That being said, before it shorts out it is excellent and Folica is great for their in warranty returns.Nov 26, 2014Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Pretty Great!I really like this curling wand but I do have a few problems with it.
Ladies, for those of you who are on a tight budget...I'm SURE you could find a significantly cheaper curling wand that will give you the same exact results as this one.
That being said, I purchased this as a gift for my sister and tried it out and it was pretty nice. It gives you nice beachy waves, if thats what you're looking for.
Secondly, I don't know if it's just my hair but after a few hours my hair became VERY VERY frizzy, and it usually doesn't do this so that was surprising!
But overall, I did get many compliments so if you have the budget and you want a brand name curling wand, this is the one for you!

38mm - Curls Beautifully, But Doesn't LastI'm really sad to report that for my hair, this curling wand just doesn't do it. I was really looking forward to having bigger curls/beach waves, which is exactly what it does... for about 2 hours. I've tried this for two days now and had the same result, even when I spray the section of hair prior to curling AND use small sections (< 0.5") of hair. The pictures I've shared are taken about 3 hours after curling using hair spray before curling and then again after. This is my standard procedure when using a curling wand and worked great with my old (cheap/Conair) curling wand and when my stylist did my hair using another 38mm wand. So, I'm not sure why, but either this brand or this brand + size just don't work on my hair while others work great (curls form easily and last all day - even through the night). I'm going to exchange the 38mm for a 25mm to see if it works better, but I don't have much faith right now. And I really wanted it to work!
The photos show that the curl is still there, but it's at about 20% of what it was this morning. They just don't hold. BTW - there is no before and after... they're both just "after" photos! And my hair is slightly wavy, so I even think some of what is still there is natural.Sep 3, 2014Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Really Wanted To Like... :(I had to send this back after trying it 2 times. I was really really excited about it but it did not work for me AT ALL. My hair didn't curl well and it took so much longer than it does normally with a clip curling iron....like 3 times as long and it looked terrible. I actually brushed it out after because I was embarrassed. Disappointed and not for me.Aug 6, 2014Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

SPARTA - Governor Pat Quinn today announced a $450,000 state investment in Sparta to support critical public works improvements and home rehabilitations for low-income residents. Today's announcement is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create jobs while improving the state's infrastructure and helping those in need.
"This project is vital to Sparta and supports basic community needs," Governor Quinn said. "I am pleased to support this work that will provide jobs and a foundation for community renewal."
The investment was made under the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO)'s Community Development Assistance Program, which targets areas with populations of less than 50,000 that are outside of urban counties. Larger towns and cities are eligible for similar funding by direct application to the federal government. Most of the money is for work on water and sewer lines, some of it to deal with emergency needs. The housing component will allow for improvements to 105 single-family homes statewide. The funds originate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are administered by the DCEO.
"These investments are important to the quality of life in rural communities statewide," DCEO Director Adam Pollet said. "Better public services and an improved housing stock will help these regions attract jobs."
Statewide, investments totaling $8.83 million were made in 23 towns or townships for improvements to water and sewer systems, and with the required local matching funds the total investment will be $13.94 million. More than $750,000 was invested in seven communities for water and sewer work where the systems are in imminent risk of failure. The $4.59 million housing rehabilitation money, which is shared by 13 communities, will assist low-income people who need critical home repairs and those with limited mobility who can benefit from retrofits.
The City of Sparta will receive $450,000 to line and replace sewers. The total project cost, including local matching funds, is $574,400.

Freedom of Education or freedom from forced childhood indoctrination by public schools religions (i.e. atheism, anti-God, homosexuality, secular humanism, abortion rights and a whole host of other ultra liberal extremist agendas and beliefs) is why Utah needs school vouchers giving parents the money and the choice to remove their children from the corruption of public schools. Ultra left Democrats (those leading the fight against vouchers) think they have every right to demand that their moral values (or lack thereof) are the only ones taught to the majority of school children. Their opposition to vouchers shows just how much they are bent on making sure no one but the wealthy can escape their forced indoctrination.
Quoting ones recent newspaper article "if we pander to the wealthy and allow extremist political or religious groups to indoctrinate the next generation we risk destroying everything our nation stands for." (Emery County Progress 3-12-07)
Nothing could be further from the truth. Vouchers pander to the poorer classes, the wealthy can already afford private schools. In the minds of the ultra liberal those who would openly profess a belief in God, oppose killing children and oppose same sex marriage etc. are 'extremists' whose indoctrination must not be allowed.
Signing the petition to stop school vouchers is a vote against freedom and a vote for the continuing downward spiral of American moral values.

A conversation with Pablo Castro about Astoria's RESTful data services
Download this episode
In the latest episode of my Microsoft Conversations series I talked with Pablo Castro about Astoria, a layer of middleware that makes data readable and writeable by means of a RESTful interface. Even if you don't know or care about the buzzwords, it's easy to show what Astoria does and to explain why it's interesting. One of the sample databases configured to work with the experimental version of Astoria is a subset of the Encarta encyclopedia. You don't have be a programmer or grok XML in order to appreciate the Astoria-enhanced version of Encarta.
A database with Astoria layered on top of it isn't a web application, but it's within shouting distance of being one, and you don't even have to shout very loudly.
Pablo's presentation at MIX is chock full of demos and explanations. Our podcast refers to and complements that presentation.
I'm not even close to being an expert in the underlying data access technologies, including ADO.NET, the Entity Data Model, and LINQ, so parts of the discussion quite frankly went over my head. Nor am I yet familiar with the tooling that's required to wrap this kind of services layer around a plain data source. But I'm 100% clear that it's a good idea, and a great example of RESTful web services -- a book that Pablo Castro says is "required reading" for members of the Astoria team.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ will be discharged from the hospital Wedneday afternoon, less than 24 hours after he was struck in the head by a line drive.
The Blue Jays released a statement Wednesday morning that Happ suffered a laceration and head contusion when he was struck by a Desmond Jennings line drive Tuesday night.
"He was responsive and doing well after suffering a head contusion and a laceration to his left ear," the Blue Jays said in a statement. "The Blue Jays anticipate that he will be discharged later today after further testing. The club will provide and update later today should any further information become available."
Happ was carried off on a stretcher Tuesday night after a line drive ricocheted off his head and into foul territory in short right field at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Happ was on the ground for 10 minutes but was conscious and weakly waved to the crowd as he left.
BOX SCORE: Blue Jays 6, Rays 4
TWITTER: Happ on the minds of MLB players
Jennings' drive appeared to hit the left side of Happ's head and ended up being a two-run triple as some of Happ's teammates chased the ball and other rushed to the mound.
Happ's head and neck were immobilized by medical personnel before he was wheeled off the field and taken to Bayfront Medical Center, where he was alert and undergoing tests, according to the Associated Press.
Said R.A. Dickey: "I think the last indication was that he was alert and feeling better and had gone for a CT scan. That's the last I heard.
"It's devastating. ... I could barely watch it. You just don't know what to think, really. It paralyzes you a little bit. And when it sounds like two bats, when you hear the sound off the bat and it sounds like it hits another bat, it's scary. It's really, really scary. I just started praying in the spot. That's all I knew to do."
Jennings' hit gave Tampa Bay a 3-1 lead but Toronto rallied to win 6-4.
Jennings was clearly shaken by the incident.
Said Rays manager Joe Maddon: "That was a real scary moment. That was awful. I hope that he's well."
Happ, 30, is in his seventh season in the majors and his first full year with Toronto, who acquired him from Houston in a trade last July. The Philadelphia Phillies took Happ in the third round of the 2004 draft and he debuted with them in 2007. He entered Tuesday's game with a 37-37 career record and was 2-2 this year with a 3.98 earned run average.
Last season, Brandon McCarthy, then with the Oakland Athletics, was hit by a liner that fractured his skull. He underwent emergency brain surgery raising questions about player safety.
MORE: McCarthy makes triumphant return
"We are actively meeting with a number of companies that are attempting to develop a product, and have reviewed test results for several products," MLB spokesman Pat Courtney told the AP in an email. "Some of the products are promising. No company has yet developed a product that has satisfied the testing criteria."
The incident occurred 56 years to the day after one of baseball's most significant pitcher injuries, when young star Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians was struck by a line drive hit by Gil McDougald of the New York Yankees, breaking Score's facial bones and injuring his eye.
McDougald ran to the mound rather than first base after the ball hit Score, who had set a major league rookie strikeout record with 245 in 1955. Score recovered but was never again nearly as effective, though he blamed his problems on a subsequent arm injury.

Wilson County Mayor Randall Hutto stopped by the Chamber Luncheon Wednesday to tell where the county is, and where it is headed.
"You live in a great county," said Hutto. "Great things are happening in Wilson County."
Hutto went over the list of honors Wilson County and Mt. Juliet have had bestowed upon it in the last few years. Wilson County was named the eighth most livable small community in the nation, and the 5th Healthiest County according to the Robert Wood Johnson foundation. Wilson County is the third fastest growing county in the state, and the second wealthiest. Wilson County is within 650 miles of 75 percent of the major markets of the United States.
Mt. Juliet has been named the sixth safest city in the state, and the fourth most business friendly. It is the third most family friendly city and the second fastest growing city. Mt. Juliet has the lowest property rate, and has been voted the most playful city.
"You have made this happen," said Hutto. "You are the difference makers."
Hutto then moved over to the school system, which achieved Annual Measurable Objectives for the 2012-2013 school year, and had the top graduation rate in the state. He also talked about the newly finished Watertown High School, which means the oldest high school in the county is just 11 years old. He also talked about a plan to retain and recruit good teachers, which will be the focus moving forward. Wilson County ranks 80th in the state for average teacher salary. There is also a push to get computers in the hands of every student in the next several years.
Hutto then moved to public safety where he talked about the expansion of WEMA with extra stations in rural areas of the county, and the push to further protect Mt. Juliet.
"Our goal is to put a third ambulance in Mt. Juliet," said Hutto.
Hutto then moved to what lies ahead including a full service hotel in Mt. Juliet, a multi-use sports park, an expo center, and the re-opening of the Nashville Super Speedway. He also hopes to get the Central Pike exit on I-40 moving forward, as well as a bypass lane on the Music City Star tracks which would allow for more train rides into the city.
"A lot of things are happening here," said Hutto.

I know this is really early but I saw it in the newsletter today and was working on this and it all just seemed to fit. I get busy and I get sidetracked so I am posting this whilst i remember! This is a photo of Notre Dame Cathedral I took 19 years ago but it looks better now than it does in the film and negative photo I took!
Very early, but very beautiful. I love what you did to the photo, it looks amazing. I love the simple layers as well.
Gorgeous! I love the pen placed so perfectly at the end of the word Beautiful, Jody! Beautiful layout!
This is sooo cool! I love the effect you used on the photo!!!
Awesome, Jody - I love it. The sketch effect looks just great! I like the effect of a frame with your multiple. layers of papers
WOW! Love this so much. The style helps on focus on the essence of the photo. Got to try those marker styles.
Wow you really have some beautiful building photos. I love the treatment of your photo. Wonderful layout.
Unbelievable blending! Very interesting way to showcase your photo on paper stack with fountain pen. Nice job!
Gorgeous page Jody! Wow!
This is a stunner!
You have definitely found your own unique style to apply to your film photos. Each layout is just slightly different in it's own special way. The layering of textured papers and the fountain pen enhance this "photo-art" without taking away from the outstanding focal point. I love the different textures, each a slightly different color, with the word art tucked along the edge. Perfect!

15 points in the first six games of the season is Vanek's best start ever. He had 15 at the ten game mark last season.
Vanek already is one of the best goal scorers in Sabres history and if he plays his entire career in Blue and Gold, he could pass Gilbert Perreault for number one all time.
But Vanek has evolved a great deal over his previous seven seasons, becoming more reliable in the defensive zone and improving on his playmaking skills.
First and foremost though, the Sabres first round pick in the 2003 draft has a gifted pair of hands and can score goals in many different ways.
That was on display as Vanek recorded his 8th career hat trick and singlehandedly led the Sabres to a slump busting win over the arch rival Bruins.
Vanek's first goal came as he ripped a one timer past Tuukka Rask. Goal Number two came on a re-direct off a shot/pass from Christian Ehrhoff, a Vanek specialty on the power play. The hat trick goal was a nice display of stickhandling by Vanek in front of Rask.
Going into the weekend games, Vanek had 236 goals in his Sabres career which places him 7th all- time behind Perreault, Rick Martin, Dave Andreychuk, Danny Gare, Craig Ramsay and Mike Foligno. Vanek is 11 goals behind Foligno and 16 in back of Ramsay so he could finish the season in 5th place.
Pearreault is the gold standard for Sabres skaters. He scored a goal once every 2.32 games on the average. Granted Vanek has played in about half the games Perreault did but Vanek scores a goal once every 2.34 games.
If you look at Vanek from a league perspective, his 236 goals are the 7th most by any player since his rookie season of 2005-2006. The only players who have scored more goals than the native of Austria over the last seven plus seasons are: Alexander Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk, Dany Heatley, Jarome Iginla, Eric Staal and Patrick Marleau.
Yet another reason to appreciate Vanek is his ability to come up big against one of the best teams on the Sabres schedule, year after year. In 46 career games against the Bruins, Vanek is averaging more than a point game with 28 goals and 26 assists for 54 points.

An IRCE speaker will talk about taking the plunge into TV advertising.
Katie Evans
Online retailers may think that advertising via TV commercials is for the big guys, but one smaller merchant will share how it worked for him at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2013.
Tyler Ackerman, CEO of ready-to-assemble cabinet retailer TheRTAStore.com, will share his experience and process in deciding to advertise on television in a session entitled "Capturing online customers through broadcast media" on June 5 at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2013.
"As a small business owner, taking the leap into national television advertising was a scary endeavor," Ackerman says. "Without having any prior experience we knew we were taking a chance. Fortunately, we had a good picture of who our customer was and were able to sign on with a network that caters exactly to our demographic."
The RTAStore has been running commercials since February 2012 nationally on the DIY Network, the sister network to HGTV and part of Scripps Network, Ackerman says.
"We took one quarter off and noticed a dip in sales," he says. "While we cannot calculate the ROI down to the penny, we can see our branding efforts working tremendously. We can see our name being searched online a lot compared to when we were not running the TV ads."
Additionally, Ackerman says customers have said in surveys that seeing commercials from the retailer helped put their mind at ease when they had concerns about purchasing their kitchen cabinets on the web.
"With tons of unknowns, scams, and uncertainty when purchasing online, branding plays a major role in being an online retailer, especially one that sells kitchen cabinets online," he says. "Consumers equate commercials with legitimate companies that they can trust."
In his session, Ackerman plans to discuss his company's exact steps leading up to the decision to advertise through broadcast media, the importance of creating a great commercial and how television advertising saved his business. He'll also address how he was able to foster a solid business relationship with his advertising partner and grow brand recognition in an increasingly competitive market.
"Attendees will learn what to expect when advertising nationally on TV, the importance of knowing the demographics of your customer before beginning to advertise, how advertising nationally can be affordable, and the importance of staying ahead of your competition and growing your brand awareness" Ackerman says.
Internet Retailer editors asked Ackerman to speak because of his experience growing up in a small, family-owned and -operated business—an experience that made him determined to never work for someone else. Less than a year after graduating with a business degree from Roanoke College in 2008, he launched TheRTAStore.com with an $800 loan. Eighteen months later, TheRTAStore.com had grossed more than $2 million in sales. Ackerman can relate to smaller retailers who are trying to learn about and thrive in the competitive online retailing landscape.

Fiji launched their 2013 Pacific Nations Cup campaign with a 22-8 bonus-point win over Japan in Lautoka on Saturday.
Fiji launched their 2013 Pacific Nations Cup campaign with a 22-8 bonus-point win over Japan in Lautoka on Saturday.
Racing Metro left wing Sireli Bobo, returning to the Fiji side after a lengthy absence, scored off a 70-metre move sparked by Adriu Delai in the opening minute and Fiji never looked back.
"We wanted to play the game out wide so scoring chances would be be created, and I'm pleased the boys did exactly what we planned for," said Akapusi Qera, who was captaining Fiji for the second time.
"We knew the Japanese would come out firing after their loss to Tonga last week so we planned well, and this was a much-needed victory for us."
It was tough going for both sides on a waterlogged pitch, and although the bigger Fijians dominated territory and possession they were restricted to a 5-0 lead in the first half.
Japan, who missed a try-scoring opportunity in the first half when Yuta Imamura lost the ball in an offload five metres from the line, scored first after the break with an Ayumu Goromaru penalty to close the gap to two points.
But Fiji were quick to reply, with Bobo setting up Apisai Naikatini for their second try. Aisea Natoga then touched down for Fiji's third after some hard work from Glasgow Warriors' Nikola Matawalu.
After missing two penalties and two conversions, fly-half Setareki Koroilagilagi finally found the uprights, converting Natoga's try to extend Fiji's lead to 17-3.
The tenacious Japanese continued to chase every opportunity and were rewarded with a late try to Kenki Fukuoka before robust Fijian centre Nemani Nadolo closed out the game with the bonus-point try in injury time.
Japan captain Takashi Kikutani said his side needed to work on countering more physical sides who forced them into errors.
"The Fijians were tough and strong. We made a lot of handling errors and at breakdowns. This is our second loss and we will go back and work on our mistakes for the next match," he said.
Fiji next play Canada on June 5 while Japan, who lost their opening game to Tonga 17-27, will play Canada on June 19.

By ALLEN LIVINGSTONHuntington
On Dec. 16, 2005, the New York Times released a shocking story sating that the president illegally authorized the National Security agency to spy and eavesdrop on Americans. This firestorm of controversy is now being touted by Carl Rove and his neo-cons to be a perfectly legal endeavor by the president, and he was simply doing it to "protect the American people from terrorists."
The fourth amendment of the constitution explicitly protects American citizens against "illegal search and seizure" and requires the executive branch to obtain a warrant from the judicial branch if they want to "spy" or "eavesdrop" on suspected terrorists. After disclosing information to the press about the illegal spying operation, Bush defended his actions by saying, "This is a different war. It's a war where people are changing phone numbers and phone calls, and they're moving quick. And we've got to be able to detect and prevent. This is, it takes quick action." What he, Rove, and other neo-cons would lead you to believe is that it's a lengthy process to obtain warrants when Al Qaeda could be plotting more destruction; however, this is simply untrue.
Domestic spying warrants are granted by secret courts created by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and in FISA courts; permission is granted by obtaining a search warrant from the justice department. What Bush, Rover, and others will neglect to tell the American people is, that they can immediately conduct surveillance when deemed necessary for America's safety, and then apply for a warrant from the courts up to three days later. Failing to report on this, when the truth is known, they'll assert that their requests would be denied even if they applied for a warrant to the justice department, retroactively. Wrong again. As John Marshall revealed, the government's own data clearly shows that in the last 25 years, out of more than 15,000 request for warrant applications, only four have been rejected.
Moreover, during the last two years, the Bush administration has "authorized" the FBI to collect information on the activities of anti-war groups, anti-abortion groups, and environmental groups. Is this because people involved in these organizations are suspected Al Qaeda members, or terrorists, or is it because, like a growing number of disgruntled Americans, these people are becoming concerned over Bush doctrine and policy?
If the Senate and the House of Representatives allow this abuse of power to go unchallenged without checks and balances on "presidential power," why have a fourth amendment if they're granted permission by the Congress and the American people to blatantly disregard our constitution? The fact remains, that this administration has broken the law and, like any illegal undertaking that's detected and admitted to, Bush should have to face the consequence of his unlawful activity in exactly the same manner as any other law breaker. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) recently said, "No president is above the law. We are a nation of laws and no president, majority leader, or chief justice of the Supreme Court can unilaterally or arbitrarily avoid a law or dismiss a law." If the American people and Congress allow this illegal conduct to go unpunished, then may God help us all.

Too high a heel

Surprisingly Comfortable
"I ordered these online because it was on sale and I need shoes and there was a coupon. When I got the shoe, it exceeded my expectations. They are super cute and very comfy. None of the straps bother my feet and I'm very sensitive to uncomfortable shoes. They are extremely high, but doesn't feel like it. The only downside (reason for 3 stars only) is that the color started rubbing on my feet when I was trying it on at home :("

Perhaps the most versatile bait in the Owner Soft Plastics lineup, the Owner Wounded Minnow can be rigged and fished a multitude of ways. The most unique way to rig it, however, is with the Owner Wacky Jig Head on and through the side of the bait. By nature, all baits swim toward the angler when twitched, but not the Wounded Minnow. When rigged on the side and twitched, the Nervous Minnow swims 90-degrees (sideways) from the angler. This allows the Wounded Minnow to be stealthily swam into areas that were previously unreachable. Available in several proven colors and loaded with Owner's Tasty Scent, the Owner Wounded Minnow can also be rigged Texas-style and with traditional leadheads.

Comments: First time out with Nervous Rex, I dropped an "AYU" into a school of surface-feeding Trevally and immediately hooked up to a Yellowtail Kingfish. He went +20lb on 8lb tackle. It just doesn't get any better than this.
From: Jeff: Mangonui, Northland New Zealand 10/23/14
Comments: Wacky Jigged I outfished wacky jigged stick baits 2 to 1. And with a light lead head jig dragging on bottom or hopping in and around weeds was the only person catching fish when others couldn't get a bite. Also produced better than a drop shot minnow side by side in the late spring early summer bite. Have only used Ayu and smokey shad, Ayu is my favorite but not by much. Have also caught big crappie by mistake targeting bass. I do not know why, but I have more confidence and success with this bait than other fish type baits. Highly recomended.
From: James: Bloomsburg, PA USA
Comments: So impressed with this bait. At 1st I was like a buck a bait? Let me tell ya, well worth it. So lifelike to the touch. In the water even more so. Rig it on a wacky jig head and get ready.

Large enough, simple, and cute
"Great deal!! Found this in white with black contract in-store. It was marked down to 40%. Walked out the door spending $90 on this all leather bag. Love it. It's roomy, stylish, and crazy bulky. Even the store manger (male) made a comment that he found himself a nice diaper bag and it can surely be used for that - though it's not as large.The quality is great. Nice and supple leather. The straps are long enough to go on the shoulder and love that it has the option to make it crossbody.Great everyday bag. No regrets with this purchase."

U of Michigan Law & Econ, Empirical Legal Studies Center Paper No. 10-002

In this paper, we reassess the traditional quasi-definitions of treaty-shopping in an attempt to delineate the contours of such practices. We examine the various theoretical arguments advanced to justify the campaign against treaty-shopping and we assess the extent to which these concerns are addressed by the OECD and the US Model.
We also consider the current trends in treaty-shopping and the anti-treaty-shopping policies under the OECD Model and the US Model. We focus on recent cases on beneficial ownership. Finally, we examine the possible implications of European Union law on the treaty-shopping debate.

Virgin Blue Goes Green: Virgin Blue Launches Carbon Offset Program21/03/2007
Virgin Blue has today become the first airline in Australia to have a comprehensive and certified carbon offset program that forms part of its integrated strategy to address environmental impact issues, including greenhouse gas emissions.
The program, which has been certified by the Australian Government under the Australian Greenhouse Office's Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative, provides the airline and its Guests with the opportunity to neutralise emissions.
From today, Guests on Virgin Blue can offset their flights for as little as $1. Monies collected via the optional carbon offset program will be used to purchase abatement from projects in Australia and New Zealand.
The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull MP, Minister for the Environment, joined Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey and Howard Bamsey, Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Environment and Water Resources, to launch the program in Canberra today.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "As an airline company, we are well aware of the challenge to balance the demand and growth of air travel while at the same time actively working to reduce aircraft emissions. The introduction of this program is a significant step in the right direction and one we hope other airlines will follow."
"We see our Carbon Offset Program as a step towards creating a sustainable aviation environment. This is a global issue requiring a global response and we believe all airlines around the world, not just in Australia, need to view it as a shared responsibility and act swiftly and today's announcement shows that we are very keen to play our role in this."
"The introduction of this program is in response to the enquiries from our Guests, corporate clients and encouragement from our own team members", Brett Godfrey said.
Offsetting flights on Virgin Blue will occur by purchasing abatement from the Australian Greenhouse Office Approved Greenhouse Friendly™ Abatement Projects. While offsetting on Pacific Blue or Polynesian Blue flights, will occur by purchasing abatement from Gold Standard projects in New Zealand that are endorsed by the New Zealand Government.
The Virgin Blue Carbon offset program involves two key elements.
Guests who travel on Virgin Blue flights will have the option of voluntarily offsetting their share of carbon emissions generated from the flight. They will be offered the opportunity during the flight booking process to contribute towards Australian Greenhouse Office approved abatement projects including such initiatives as forestry activities, energy efficiency measures, waste diversion and recycling and generation of renewable energy; and
Virgin Blue, with the enthusiastic support of its management and Board, has made a financial commitment to offset the greenhouse impacts of its own crew and staff travelling on company business. This financial commitment, expected to be in the vicinity of AUD $500,000 annually, will then be channelled into abatement projects aimed at long term and permanent greenhouse gas reductions.
Virgin Blue's team had been investigating the potential for the airline to become involved in the Greenhouse FriendlyTM program since March last year and is proud to be the first Australian airline and first transportation organisation in the country to be officially certified as "Greenhouse Friendly".
Virgin Blue also announced it has signed up for the Australian Greenhouse Challenge Plus Program, joining nearly 800 other companies committed to improving energy efficiencies and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Virgin Blue will measure, monitor and report on its overall emissions as it aims to reduce them year on year.
Brett Godfrey added, "The Australian Government Greenhouse Friendly initiative and the Greenhouse Challenge Plus Programme are further steps in our overall environmental plan. We already operate a fleet of the latest 737 NG aircraft and have implemented strategies to reduce fuel burn via more efficient flight planning and aircraft weight reduction. We also participate in recycling activities from computers to Christmas cards and will continue to work with other agencies to help further protect the environment."

Did You Know? Countdown to Columbus Day (10/08)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Christopher Columbus'
Discovery of the Americas
Oct 08 : 03 days to Columbus Day
Did you know that on October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas, becoming the first European to see the islands of the New World?
He had intended to sail to the East Indies off Southeast Asia — but seriously underestimated how large the world truly is.
Did you know that there is a lot of controversy over whether Columbus can be credited with discovering the New Worlds, since these lands, including the Bahamas, Cuba and Haita (Hispanolia), were already inhabited?
Indeed, many of those natives were later enslaved by Spanish colonizers.
In 1492 Christopher Columbus left Spain looking to find an alternative route to India. After sighting land, his fleet eventually landed on what is now know as the Bahamas. Columbus Day is a celebration of Columbus' discovery of the Americas (the New World). Observed as a national holiday in the US and by Italian-Americans as a celebration of their culture and heritage.
Join us as we present a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Columbus Day which is celebrated on Monday October 11th, 2010.

FLAMES UFA PROFILE: David Moss
Vintage Flame
June 19 2012 09:23AM
For the most part, the idea of which UFA's the Flames should re-sign has been pretty black and white. The consensus has Calgary needing to pursue a drastically different course of action that will take them off the dead end path that they have been blindly plodding for the better part of the last decade.
Where that discussion sees a little more grey area is when we discuss the future of David Moss.
There is no doubt that Moss has been a work-in-progress for the Flames over his six year career and the organization has invested a lot in the 30 year old American winger. If there is one attribute that has always stuck out about Moss to the fans and to the team, it's confidence.
Both fan and management have for the most part felt that David has always been an asset on the ice rather than a liability and if the Flames were ever in situations that are oft described as "crunch-time", that Mosser is one of the guys you immediately look to.
Unfortunately for both team and player, that when that search was on, more often than not, Moss' stall was empty. Other than 2008-09, when he managed to play 81 games, Moss has been injured for significant chunks of time, leaving the Flames searching for answers and alternatives. With Moss now being a UFA, it's a status that might be more detrimental to his future as a Flame rather than the leverage most players would use to their advantage.
When we examine the table above, it's easy to jump to the conclusion that the 2008-09 season what Moss' most productive season based on the fact that it generated his highest point totals and, well, he finished the season - and you'd be right. From the point of view of the Flames, it was also the most rewarding season financially in the value they got out of him. According to NHLnumbers.com, Moss' 39 pts in 81 games at a cap hit of $550k, gave him a spending efficiency value of 70.909 pts for every million dollars. It was a no brainer for the Flames to give him a significant raise the following season and a three year deal.
Unfortunately, again, that would be the apex of his value in part because he has yet to play a complete season since. Over the next three years, his games-played totals would slide and only in the middle season (2011), would his point totals rebound.
From the on-ice perspective, 2010-11 was his most effective season. Even though he finished with three less goals and nine less points than his best totals, he also did so in 23 less games. During that time he was an integral part of the line-up and his loss was thought by many to be the key contributors to the Flames missing the playoffs.
What Moss brings to the Flames goes beyond his offensive production. While he may not register on the score sheet every night, when he is in the line-up, he definitely has an impact. Over the last three seasons, David has seen his offensive zone starts go down from 53.4 – 53.8 – 47.9; while his Corsi Relative has gone up from 3.0 – 7.1 – 10.3. He is a smart player that is capable of driving the play out of his own zone. An argument can be made that Moss' absence might have had something to do with that problematic aspect of the Flames seasons, particularly last year.
One has to wonder that if David could actually played a full 82 games, would he show dividends for all the hard work and invested time that Calgary has put into him. The only problem is that now that his contract is up, has time run out for the right-winger? The uncertainty of his ability to stay healthy enough to help the team when they have most needed him forced the team to search for other options. With the new direction of the team and a focus on getting younger, has the alternative now become the more desirable choice?
The way I see it, the Flames are down to a two-horse race when it comes to their UFAs. Do they re-sign David Moss, someone they have invested so much in and know what they get out of him, on a hope that he can finally have a healthy season? Or, do the Flames re-sign their alternative option, Lee Stempniak, who happens to be a year younger and brings more offensive potential than David?
I don't see Calgary re-signing both and given the talk that new head coach Bob Hartley is going to focus more on the offense, my belief is that the sand in the hour glass has just about run out for Moss. It's not a knock against him or even that he doesn't fit in with the style of game the Flames are looking to play. His smarts on the ice would still be an asset for the team going forward, but at the same time, it's pretty hard to get past the injuries.
Going forward there has to be a lot of guessing work going on around Moss: how good is his foot? Is he even now 100%, because the talk last year is that they didn't even really know what was wrong with his foot, and why his injury wouldn't heal according to any schedule, even after he had surgery on it.
I had the chance to talk to Craig Conroy during the World Junior Championships and when I asked about Moss, he replied with, "The problem with David is that he just takes so long to heal. He's a very slow healer." That sort of recuperation timetable has to have management a little nervous to risk another new contract on, when realistically they have a younger, speedier, more offensive option already in front of them.
Personally, I have always liked Moss. I have said for years that with his tenacity, the Flames should be spending the entire off-season with him planted in front of a net, learning to tip pucks. Teach him to do it so well that when the fans see the Flames play in their vintage jerseys, that they think they are watching Joe Nieuwendyk on the ice. That being said, there is a little voice in the back of my head that thinks the only way they choose to re-sign Moss, is if they can't get Stempniak inked to a contract or they are both re-signed and one is packaged in a deal come July 1st.
I'm not against signing him, I'm just on the side of the team on this one, I'd rather re-sign a Stempniak or a Comeau rather than Moss at this point. He's not going to get any better than what we've seen, and he is injury prone(I know the term is a bit silly).
Will I be upset if the team resigns him, no. Would I rather they try to find a bit of an upgrade on him, sure, I think they have one in Stempniak, though he's also going to cost a bit more.
I've always liked Moss as well. How much can they afford to invest in him, however? This isn't a one-off fluke season where he got hurt. He's missed at least 20 games in three consecutive seasons, a disheartening trend.
I wish him well and hope he gets back to being healthy and productive. I just hope it's in another jersey because it just doesn't seem to be working out in Calgary for him or the team.
I always got the feeling this guy could be a 30 goal scorer. Then poof he would disappear offensively or disappear from injury. Moss has shifted from 2nd 3rd line player to a 3rd 4th liner and will probably be in the future. Always liked him and his play, but it may be time to walk away.
The problem with Moss this year is that he will be very replaceable.
He is a career Flame, certainly has some sentimentality with the Fan base but do you keep a 30 going on 31 year old 3rd line player? Or do you go younger?
Moss has done his job over the years but the fact is he will sign on min cost or the Flames will go younger for his role. Sentimentality is what drives the resign Moss bus not facts.
30 going on 31 year old serviceable 3rd line player with an injury history? You would not even hesitate to cut him loose VF, if he was not a career Flame.
June 19 2012, 10:08AM
Moss would be fine at 500K on the fourth line. Good option to play third or more if injuries happen.
Too bad the organization gave away that spot to 80 year old Tim Jackman.
Time to let Moss go. With the emergence of Glencross as a significant scoring threat and the fact that Moss' injuries tend to be piling up I don't think it's possible to get decent value for what he can bring to the team.
June 19 2012, 10:11AM
Staios is still available . . .
June 19 2012, 10:36AM
Actually, the reason Moss isn't a slam dunk to let walk is that he remains one of the few skaters on the team who moves the puck forward efficiently in all circumstances.
Im as pragmatic and unsentimental a fan that exists I'd say. Which is what drives me to value Moss - dude gets the job done for very cheap.
The injuries and age are not insignificant issues, however.

As with many players, my view comes down to the Bob Barker bottom line.
"If the Price is Right"
Honestly, cheapness/usefulness is one of the reasons I'd re-sign him. Same with his injury status. Moss is usually useful or he's hurt. If he's hurt, it gives somebody else a chance to do his job. If he's healthy, he's doing his job on the cheap.
June 19 2012, 11:34AM
Moss may end up being a victim one of the only strengths of the current Flames team - that being depth & having a number of quality players on the 3rd & 4th lines.
Moss is great 3rd liner, but we have lots of those (including what is currently our "2nd line")
It's top 2 line players we need. We have enough Moss's. And to me that's unfortunate because I really like Moss & what he brings (when he is playing).
June 19 2012, 11:51AM
I'd take Moss over Jackman on the 4th line, RW.
Most would take Comeau over Moss on the 4th line, RW, if Jackman's excluded. Comeau's younger, more durable, "has potential"... Or so it seems...
I'd take Moss over Comeau. But it's close...
A 4th line of Bouma-Jones-Moss would score some goals while being difficult to play against, on both ends of the ice... I think a 4th line of Bouma-Jones-Comeau would have the same potential, but Moss on RW would have more offencive potential, if Moss could stay healthy.
Moss/Comeau/Jones are servicable - can play 2nd/3rd line minutes in an emergency. Jackman can't. This also is part of my reasoning above...
If they can move Stajan, Moss can play centre. I believe Comeau's played centre, as well. Again, more useful than Jackman...
I think Aliu and Desbiens could also provide mroe offence than Jackman. I like Jackman. But he's over 30. Hands of concrete. And so forth.
Stempniak can play here on the 3rd line, RW, even if Feaster and Hartley want to win "now". But he may also want to head home, back east... Where he's from.
Moss would be great with the Red Wings. 3rd/4th line role, cheap, closer to his roots. So would Comeau. 4th line w/the Wings, if there was room.
This is where these guys slot. 4th liners on a winning team....
(By the way, Moss has always been one of my favourite Flames)
if moss is not resigned looked for hime to be scooped up by la i would imagine. he would thrive there. im a moss supporter as well i wouldn't mind if they resigned him for the right price. maybe he needs a different local too.
June 19 2012, 12:13PM
Positionally, Moss gives the team flexibility as well. He's strong on the PK and able to cover a variety of positions in the case of injuries (that aren't his own). I think the team should absolutely pursue re-signing him. Of course, as always, it's about the price tag...
@everton fc
wow, you managed to do a whole post about 4th liners without mentioning Derek Dorsett!! lol
for me, I've always liked Moss as a do-it-all play-any-position forward. If they re-sign him, great. If they don't... Nemisz is turning into a similar player.
Completely off topic, but did anyone else see Josh Harding has resigned with the Wild? With him and Tomas Vokoun no longer headed to free agency, should that increase Miikka Kiprusoff's trade value?
I hope Feaster is making phone calls to Columbus, NYI and Toronto.
While I want Mosser to be resigned, I doubt that management will re-up him, and I can see why they might not. He's a 30 year old guy who is injured often and contributes minimally offensively. While he's a player that for sure makes a difference when he's in the lineup, he's not in the lineup altogether too often. The Flames brass still might re-ink him because he'll come cheap and give the club an option against talented forwards, so I guess there is a possibility he'll be back.
Like others, I am on the fence, but again his Corsi stats show he does drive play to the offensive zone with a Corsi On stat of 6.85i only 32 games. Notably, the options of Stempniak (4.62) and Comeau (less so at -0.55)also have good Corsi On stats.
For Moss, I think you give a low-risk offer of $1M to him for 1 year (down from 1.3M over last 3 years) to see how it works out. If he wants more, walk away and leave a roster space open for young guys or potential "add-ons" that come in a big trade to balance salaries.
However, if you have to choose between Moss and Stempniak in order to leave roster spots open for young guys like Horak, Baertschi, Bouma, Nemisz (?), Reinhart (?) and others to win, then I think the better option due to his age and scoring upside is Stempniak, given the other 3rd to 4th line talent we have who may do what Moss can do.
Comeau is another complication in the mix, but perhaps his low counting stats and just decent Corsi stats will render him less likely to be offered a deal given other young options that Feaster wants to have on the Flames.
Basically the price matters on Moss as does the Flames plans for brining in more competition and leaving spaces open for draft choices.
June 19 2012, 01:57PM
No thanks. Move on.
June 19 2012, 01:59PM
Moss would be fine at 500K on the fourth line. Good option to play third or more if injuries happen.
Too bad the organization gave away that spot to 80 year old Tim Jackman.
Uh... Jackman's only a month and a half older than Moss... :)
June 19 2012, 02:02PM
Me too.
Id like to see moss resigned, for very cheap. I dont see how he could really demand that much and if he goes to july 1, I cant see anyone going more than 1.5 mil per. Flames could resign him at around 1 mil I would think. If he asks for more, see ya later David. I would also resign stempniak as well if he would stay arund 1.5 (and again why wouldn't he, brutal year). I think we are buying low for both players. Resign Comeau for under 2 as well and you have 3rd and 4th lines of the following:
Bartshi - Backlund - Stempiak Comeau - Jones - Moss
Jackman and Bouma are for depth
I think that is a good bottom six with speed, grit, scoring potential and there is the depth for a couple of those guys go into the top six when injuries occur.
June 19 2012, 02:45PM
Indeed! I still like Dorsett in a Flames jersey. Always will.
If we move JBo to Columbus... I'd demand Dorsett as part of the deal (I'd try and move Jackman, too, of course!)
Alas... We are stuck with what we've got.
I don't think Nemisz will be like Moss. But if he can be, that'd be great, because that's his ceiling, in my opinion. Which isn't too bad.
As for Harding, I never thought he'd leave Minnesota. He didn't want to leave. I doubt he ever considered leaving.
(Kipper to Columbus... Dorsett comes the other way as part of a good package for the Flames!!)
@Gussey - I'd take that 4th line of Comeau-Jones-Moss. I'd also like to see Nemisz get a look on this fantasy 4th line, right side, if Moss is let go.
Perhaps that's the plan. Give Nemisz a go. Nemisz seems like a really good kid. I'd be okay w/Nemisz and Bouma getting a look on either side of Jones.
adios david, thats but we have no more room for 30 something injury prone ham n eggers that cant score in a cathouse. the flames third line is full of fourth liners and the fourth line is full of ahlers.
Moss is listed as a right winger in the Flames Media Guide... not a LW as indicated in the article.
ed .. Thanks Ryan. Corrected.

My sentiments exactly.
I also belileve Moss will be signed as a result of Stempniak finding a job elsewhere for more money than the Flames will offer.
June 19 2012, 03:07PM
Uh... Jackman's only a month and a half older than Moss... :)
Unfortunately, the only teams needing a goalie are also terrible and don't have much to give. That's why they're in that position in the first place.
What would we get from Columbus? Dorsett + ? Brassard? If Kipper is involved, do we get Mason? If JBo is involved, do we get Wisniewski or someone else on D?
What about NYI? Neiderreter? Hamonic?
Don't even get me started on the Leafs. Point is, these teams don't seem to have much, at least that they can afford to part with.
And holy crap, Karlsson signs for $6.5M per year over 7 years. That's like, Jay Bouwmeester money! Good for the kid, but if that sets the bar for $6.5M defencemen, consider Jay Bouwmeester a permanent Calgary resident.
Hearing Oilers looking at JBO. Whats this world coming to Rex. I can see them dumping Mr hurter Ryan Whitney, 2nd rounder, which is almost like a 1st & someone else. If its Parjarvi, then I dont give a crap if its the Oilers, pull the trigger on that puppy. Also saw Bob Mackenzie tweet Bobby Ryan may be available. Howson & Nash may find themselves alone on the dance floor here pretty quick.
My thinking with those teams is getting their top 5 pick. You would have to ask Kipper to waive his no trade clause, of course, since it hasn't expired yet. If the Flames were to include their #14 pick they could get a nice return.
Neiderreiter and Hamonic from NYI would be good options. Hamonic has put up some pretty good numbers in his first two years from what I've seen.
From Columbus I would look into Nikita Nikitin. He's an RFA but played pretty well after being traded, I believe.
With the Leafs, you would also have to look more at prospects than there current roster players. I don't think you could pry Jake Gardiner away, but maybe Nazim Kadri, Joe Colborne or Stuart Percy. Maybe consider Nicolai Kulemin? He's also an RFA an shouldn't cost much more than his last contract of $2.350M given his poor season last year.
Those are only a few ideas, and that's not including J-Bo.
"With the Leafs, you would also have to look more at prospects than there current roster players."
Jesse Blacker. He isn't anything special, but he's easily better than any defenseman currently in the Flames' system (unless you still count Brodie as a prospect, of course). He also has a right handed shot. If the Flames were to target a Leafs prospect, I think Blacker would be the most likely choice (at least out of players the Leafs would be open to trading)
although, a trade involving Kiprusoff should likely include a goalie for the Flames' interests. The 5th and Gustavsson (and more?)?
21 lost time incidents since Dec/07.Can,t seem to stop the shoulder and ankle injuries.That will end up being the deciding factor in retaining his services
While healthy Moss is a good energy guy. I think he is probably going to see what the interest for his services are with free agency. Like Babchuk, the Flames will play the wait and see game with a few of the free agents that they would like to retain. Moss maybe one of them.
I could see Detroit, Dallas and Buffalo maybe looking at him in free agency. Outside chance with Florida.
The Flames have cap space and RW is one of the few positions with a number of players available via free agency. I wouldn't limit the choices to the players the Flames have in the system.
Of the Flames free agents I like Comeau and Stempniak over Moss. Both have more upside without the injury risk.
If Moss is willing to sign at around a million then I don't mind putting him on the fourth line as a depth option. But I wouldn't count on him in the top 9.
I hadn't heard of Jesse Blacker before you mentioning him, but he seems to be regarded as one of the best defenceman in the OHL right now.
I'm not sure the Flames would need to trade for a goaltender if they could convince Kari Ramo to sign and come over. Trading Kipper should be more than enough reason for Ramo to leave the KHL, since he has stated he doesn't want to be playing backup for a goalie who's going to play 60-70 games a year. I would be content with Ramo and Irving in net for the coming year, but I also don't believe in the "going for it" mentality the actual Flames management seem to have. If one of those two don't emerge as a solid #1 option, not saying they would have to be Vezina candidates, then you pursue something in the next off-seaon.
Also, Jonas Gustavsson is a UFA this July, and I haven't seen any indication that the Leafs are going to re-sign him.
Dan Ellis, Andrew Raycroft, Scott Clemmensen, Martin Biron, Alex Auld and Michael Leighton could also be available in free agency and have all had at least some success in past. So there are options in net.
June 20 2012, 03:45AM
Moss would be fine at 500K on the fourth line. Good option to play third or more if injuries happen.
Too bad the organization gave away that spot to 80 year old Tim Jackman.
If Moss is on the fourth line, instead of Jackman, who's gonna drop the mitts? If we had more guys with jam like Tim, we'd be in a far better place.
June 20 2012, 03:54AM
The problem with David is, he has the worst luck (almost) of anybody on the team, when he gets on a roll he falls (tripped) into the boards and sprains his ankle or breaks his foot blocking a shot. I like him, but he is getting older and we need to get some younger UFA's signed.
June 20 2012, 01:58PM
@I'm just sayin;
Move Jackman w/Kipper to the Jackets. Pickup Dorsett, put him on the left side. That's one option. And he's a better fighter than Jackman, not to mention a better player. And younger.
If we had a guy like Engelland replacing Sarich... That's be another option.
Neither likely to happen, of course!
"I hadn't heard of Jesse Blacker before you mentioning him, but he seems to be regarded as one of the best defenceman in the OHL right now."
he was, until he moved on to the Marlies (AHL). He had an okay first season.

Best Places to Go "Om"
What are the most beautiful places for outdoor yoga? Who better to ask than Jennifer Aniston's own yoga teacher? Grab your mat, and check out Mandy Ingber's picks for the best places to go "om."
MauiWith more than 120 miles of coastline, Maui tops Mandy Ingber's list. Channel your inner roar, and strike a warrior pose, as you take in the sights and sounds of the deep blue Pacific splashing against the island's rocky headlands. 960 1280
Viceroy Bali
Viceroy Bali"I have wanted to travel to Bali, and have seen the pictures of the Viceroy -- luxury resort!" says Ingber. Luxury, indeed: The family-owned-and-operated property on the Indonesian island of Bali is home to 25 villas, nestled on a hill overlooking the "Valley of the Kings." 960 1280
Harbour Island, Bahamas
Harbour Island, BahamasThis island, located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, may be a trek to get to, but it's worth it for the "quaint, sweet town [vibe] and casual, beachy feel," says Ingber. We're betting you'll agree as you stroll past colorful rows of homes and "om" away on the island's pink sand beaches. 960 1280
GaneshpuriThis small village, about 50 miles north of Mumbai, is "very poor, but soulful and where many gurus have lived and died," says Ingber. Explore the village's Siddha yoga tradition at the local ashram, then while away the hours in one of the hot springs near the area's Tansa River. 960 1280
Kauai"Incredible setting!" says Ingber of this Hawaiian island. "Not only were we in a gorgeous, Bali-style house but the boat ride up the Na Pali Coast is dreamy. Waterfalls and beautiful hikes. So much wild nature here. One of the most bountiful and beautiful places I have been to and taught in." 960 1280
One & Only Palmilla, Mexico
One & Only Palmilla, MexicoIngber gives this Los Cabos resort overlooking the Sea of Cortez high marks. "I have been here twice, and have had some lovely yoga sessions in this beautiful setting," says Ingber. "Many of my clients love Mexico because it's sandy and close -- and we love the sunny weather!" 960 1280
Sha Wellness Clinic
Sha Wellness ClinicThis medical and luxury spa, overlooking Spain's Costa Blanca coastline, also makes Ingber's shortlist. A big draw is the surrounding natural beauty; the resort is situated in the Sierra Helada Natural Park, home to protected areas of plants as well as vibrant marine wildlife such as bottlenose dolphins. 960 1280
Aix-en-ProvenceThis region in southern France is another personal favorite; Ingber stayed at a private estate in the country. "We had fresh eggs from the chickens on the property and practiced yoga daily," she says. "A little sweaty in the summer, but with a farmers' market and incredible architecture!" 960 1280

Cute shoes with issues!
"I absolutely love the look of these shoes. I bought the red ones to wear with a gorgeous solid red Ralph Lauren sun dress. They match perfectly and look stunning. However, as the first reviewer stated, while walking my pinky toe sticks out of the open fabric. The fabric straps need to either be wider or better placed on these shoes. The straps ARE NOT adjustable and while walking my foot also slides forward and down to the end of the shoe. A little dissapointing as I would wear these shoes all the time! They would also look cute with white or red jeans or capris. Because of the issues with these shoes I cannot wear them for any length of time and do a lot of walking...a shame!"

pleasantly surprised
"I usually like to see and try shoes at the store since my feet are a bit picky. needless to say I hesitated to buy online but I took a chance. I am pleasantly surprised on this purchase and love love these shoes, they are adorable and very comfortable. I would just watch out for the length since they seem to run a little short but i really don't have issues wearing them."
