just saying I'd never seen acceleration expressed in those units before.
You have, you just haven't done the algebra before
They are the same unit if you break N down and look at it. N/kg is considered gravitational force while m/s2 is an acceleration, but in reality they are the same thing and both work in any formula.
There are far easier ways to measure the acceleration due to gravity using Arduino
QuoteThere are far easier ways to measure the acceleration due to gravity using ArduinoHow is that "far easier" than using an accelerometer?
with a known string length L
Quotewith a known string length LA pendulum should be rigid.
a) Why? A swinging chain keeps time.
Why is the photogate method I described a far easier method of measuring gravity than an accelerometer?Well there was quite a bit of discussion about using cheap off the shelf accelerometers and I never did see anyone having a solution that actually did measure the acceleration due to gravity, without first assuming what it was to begin with. By using the photogates you can easily derive the solution for the acceleration due to gravity based on first principles, and not by assuming what the result is you are looking for. The photogate method is used in first-year physics labs everyday, I used to have my first year students derive the solution for homework, tests, or labs.

Celebrating 90-Plus Years of USDA's International Activities
The modern Foreign Service is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, as is the American Foreign Service Association. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Foreign Service Act into law, combining the United States diplomatic and consular services to create the United States Foreign Service. By that time, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had already been posting employees overseas for 42 years.
Thanks to President Coolidge's curiosity, we possess a rare snapshot of USDA international activities in 1924. On December 22 of that year, Coolidge, in his characteristically laconic style, sent a one-line letter to Secretary of Agriculture Howard Gore: "I shall appreciate it if you will send me as soon as possible a list of the representatives the Department may have abroad, their posts and just what they are doing." Surviving copies of urgent correspondence in the National Archives in College Park testify to the flurry of activity that ensued over the next two weeks as a data call went out to all USDA field offices.

As yet another cold front is racing towards Big Lake,I wonder what happened to our warm weather?Last year at this time azaleas were in full bloom and my lawn mower was on ready.So what for global warming!
As for the fishing here on Calcasieu,it has been good between the blows.We are still on a winter pattern although we had a pretty good topwater bite a week or so ago.We had several 8 lb class specks caught on mirrorlure topdogs and I heard of a 9 and 10 pounder caught also.We are getting them on corkies or catch 2000 lures most of the time.Joe Meyer, of FTU had one of the 8 pounders and we thought he had a good picture of the fish until we made it in.I am not sure if it was the camera or the photagrapher.Something not workee...
Well spring is coming and every year at this time I get nervous thinking about big yellowmouth shaking her head.Check out the photo I posted over on the photo section.Now that is a head shaker!!!

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Since the beginning of talks concerning a new swimming pool for Emery County, the idea has been to provide the citizens with a pool everyone can use. The decision was made to build the pool as close to Emery High School as possible so the school could have a swim team.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said, "We thought is would be best to build close to the high school to enable them to have a swim team as a part of the curriculum offered there. We are also going to bring the students from Green River High School to the pool several times a years so those students can use and enjoy it too. The Emery School District has donated eight acres of land north of Castle Dale Elementary for the project and they are giving us $87,000 to construct the parking lot at the facility.
"The high school will use the pool without cost, but will provide their own lifeguards and maintenance. They will also be responsible to repair any damage which may occur during their usage. All scheduling of the pool will be done through the commissioners or their appointed representative. The state will set the times and dates for swim team functions such as meets and competitions, and we will work around those days and times.
"The high school will also be responsible to purchase any timing systems and equipment. During the construction of the pool, we will install the necessary wiring to accommodate these systems. We want to begin construction of the new pool facility in June," concluded Commissioner Sitterud.
Emery County attorney David Blackwell presented the contract to the commissioners, and it was approved following some discussion and changes.
In other business discussed at the recent commission meeting, Commissioner Sitterud explained a problem with the analog television signal in the south end of the county. Two units near Emery were recently struck by lightning and this has caused residences in Emery to lose two TV channels.
Emery County is presently running both analog and digital TV signals. The federal government has mandated that all signals be digital by February 2009. "We need to think about how we want to handle this. The two units will cost $3,000 each and we will only be able to use them until February 2009 and then we will have to shut them down," said Commissioner Sitterud. "We want all the residents of Emery County to know that if their television sets are not digital ready, they will not be able to get the analog TV signal after that time.
"If residents do not have cable or satellite TV, the only signal that will be available is digital. Analog is being phased out and will be gone permanently after February 2009. There will be a converter which will be available for purchase that will change the analog signal to digital, but the cost of the box is $270, and there is a $40 rebate from the government," concluded Commissioner Sitterud.
The commissioners will discuss solutions to the television problems in Emery and a decision will be made in the near future.
Commissioner Gary Kofford updated the South Moore road project. He said the Utah Department of Transportation has sent notices to contractors regarding the work to be completed this season. Bids will be opened on May 31. Another road project this season will be the Joe's Valley to Reeder subdivision road. It will be paved and a parking lot will be installed just north of the gravel pile location.
This parking lot will provide off road parking for recreationists in the area.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks informed the commissioners of the land swap project with Castle Dale. The papers have all been signed and recorded and the swap is complete.
Two parcels of land owned by the city near the Museum of the San Rafael and the senior center were traded for a portion of the county's property at the old sheriff's office site.

Ready for spring!
"I got these shoes on clearance because I wore similar shoes all last summer and my feet have never been so comfortable! They are airy and supportive and I can't wait to wear them all around town."

"I bought these shoes right before leaving for the Amazon. I wanted something that would stay on my feet and be super comfortable. These shoes fit that role, but can get really stinky/doesn't breathe well from the bottom. I don't have any anti-foot odor spray or baking soda with me so not sure what to do, but I still love them. I've been wearing them all day and walking long distances. I am a size 7 and bought a size 6."

Feels good--once you get them on
"These are comfy shoes. A little boxy in the toe, but not embarrassingly so. My main issue (why I didn't give them a five) is the fact that they are kind of hard to get on. There's no velcro strap or anything on them (like with my similar-looking Tevas), so you kind of have to jam your foot into them the first few times until they get broken in."

Bills Interview 3 Candidates
by Howard Simon
posted Jan 5 2013 7:45AM
The four men searching for the next Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills had a very busy day on Friday. The Bills interviewed University of Oregon Coach Chip Kelly, former Chicago Bears Coach Lovie Smith and Syracuse University Coach Doug Marrone.
All 3 interviews took place in Arizona and were confirmed by the Bills at their web site. They were conducted by President and CEO Russ Brandon, General Manager Buddy Nix, Assistant G-M Doug Whaley and Senior Vice President for football administration Jim Overdorf.
Kelly interviewed with the Bills following 7 hours of meetings with the Cleveland Browns. There are various reports that Kelly and the Browns are close to a deal on a contract to make him their next head coach. Despite that, Kelly told his agent he still wanted to go through the interviews with the Bills and Philadelphia. Kelly was expected to meet with the Eagles on Saturday but that might not take place. There are reports claiming the Eagles are "going in another direction".
Smith spent the last 9 seasons with the Bears and is the only man to be interviewed by the Bills thus far with a winning record as an NFL head coach. Smith was 81-63 in the regular season and led the Bears to a Super Bowl berth in 2006. Smith was said to have expressed interest in the Bills job in part because of the talent he feels the Bills have on the defensive side of the ball. According to BuffaloBills.com, the "genuine interest" between Smith and the Bills is mutual.
Marrone is being credited with turning around the program at Syracuse. He has led the Orange to consecutive bowl games and this season SU finished with an 8-5 record. Marrone does have NFL experience having coached under Sean Payton in New Orleans and Herman Edwards with the New York Jets.
The Bills are expected to interview Denver Broncos Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy in Denver on Saturday. McCoy has been running the Broncos offense the last 4 seasons. Before that he spent 8 seasons on the Carolina Panthers coaching staff. McCoy is also expected to interview with Arizona and Chicago over the weekend.
The Bills have now formally interviewed 5 candidates. In addition to Kelly, Marrone and Smith, the Bills have spoken with former Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and Cards Defensive Coordinator Ray Horton.
WGR 550 and WGR550.com will keep you updated on the Bills search for a new head coach.

Drama, Suspense/Thriller
The Road (2009)
"The Road" is a post-apocalyptic dramatic thriller about a father and his son walking alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food -- and each other.
Cast: Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee
Produced by: Nick Wechsler, Paula Mae Schwartz, Steve Schwartz

The nation's top-ranked teams have proven that they can win at home, in September, during non-conference play. Today is different: For the first time all season, the FBS' frontrunners will take the show on the road.
And they do it en masse. Five of the top six teams in this week's USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll play conference games away from home; the lone exception among the top six is No. 2 Oregon, which has a bye.
No. 1 Alabama heads to Missouri. No. 3 South Carolina is at No. 8 LSU. No. 6 Florida looks to avoid a letdown at Vanderbilt in the early evening.
THE FRONT SEVEN: Tackling this week's best games
In the Big 12, No. 4 West Virginia plays Texas Tech in Lubbock. In the past, Lubbock has been a place where championship dreams go to die. No. 5 Kansas State plays No. 25 Iowa State in Ames – and every game is a potential trap game when the Cyclones are involved.
The only top 10 teams that play host on Saturday are LSU and No. 7 Notre Dame. The Irish welcome No. 17 Stanford to South Bend, looking to snap a three-game losing streak to the Cardinal.
Rounding out the top 10 is No. 9 USC, which plays at Washington, and No. 10 Oklahoma, which plays Texas in the Cotton Bowl in this year's renewal of the Red River Rivalry.
Another two undefeated teams are on the road: No. 16 Louisville is underway at Pittsburgh, trailing 21-14 near the end of the first half, and No. 14 Oregon State plays at BYU.
The Beavers will be without starting quarterback Sean Mannion, who suffered a torn meniscus in the third quarter of last Saturday's win over Washington State. With Mannion out at least two weeks, Oregon State will turn to junior Cody Vaz.
It's a good time for a prove-yourself-on-the-road weekend. The first BCS standings will be released on Sunday evening, giving an early look at how the championship race might shake out over the year's second half.

By pinning their hopes to an ever-expanding tar sands sector, Canada and Alberta are making a bet that the world won't move to tackle climate change. In the process, they're squandering Canada's chance to be a leader in the clean energy economy: while other countries are investing in wind and solar, Canada is cutting funding to renewable power and subsidizing the tar sands. Even worse, our governments' approach ignores the consequences of climate change itself, putting people inside and outside of Canada at risk of devastating impacts that include droughts, storms, floods, and the spread of disease.

Comfortable for the height
"These shoes are beautifully package (Seychelles does a wonderful job of making you feel like you are really opening something special). The shoe itself is really nicely made and fit me beautifully (I ordered a size 6). The bottom of the shoe get dirty easily and I don't recommend walking on uneven surfaces. But, despite the height, these are some of the easiest to walk in heels ever and the buckles at the top are adjustable (slightly). Now I just need to find someplace to go in them besides my basement..."

great boots
"I was looking for a lower heel boot but couldn't pass this one up. I wore them for the first time and really walked in them for a good distance and amount of time. They were very comfortable and easy to walk in. My feet did not hurt at all. They a super cute and even recieved a few compliments on them. My only concern was the bottoms are very smooth so I was afraid of slipping on wet or snowy pavement. I wore them without slipping and bought the stick on traction pads for bottom of boot."

Surrounded by gardens and a reflection pool, this magnificent bell tower in Washington Park is the third largest in the world, and one of the few that is actually open to the public.
The Last Stop Abraham Lincoln Statue
The world's only statue of Abe Lincoln and a pig commemorates Lincoln's bemused request for a "writ of quietus" to calm noisy pigs gathered under the courthouse floor. "The Last Stop" refers to the location on the old 8th Judicial Circuit.
Taylorville Chautauqua Auditorium
This auditorium opened on August 23, 1914, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Climb aboard the Trolley, sit back and relax as we bring the history of historic Petersburg Illinois and the surrounding area to you. We will take you past several points of interest along your journey back in history. Petersburg is rich in Victorian Homes, most of which were built in the 1860's and 1870's. During your journey into history, you will be entertained by points of interest along the way. We will stop for a short while in downtown Petersburg. At this time, you may choose to disembark and enjoy the downtown area on foot. There are a variety of shops and eateries to wander through. Don't worry, the trolley will return to pick you up.

Old State Capitol-Illinois Tourist Information Center
Located in the Old State Capitol where Abraham Lincoln gave his "House Divided" speech. Here you'll find tourism information for the whole state. Many free events and performances throughout the year.
Old State Capitol State Historic Site
The Old State Capitol is a reconstruction of Illinois' fifth statehouse, the first to be located in Springfield. It is here that Lincoln practiced law, served as a legislator and gave his famed House Divided speech on slavery in 1858. The building served as the seat of state government and a center of Illinois political life from 1839-1876. The current State Capitol Building is the center of state government, where visitors can watch Illinois politics in action when the legislature is in session. Open 7 days a week.
The grave site of Ann Rutledge, Abraham Lincoln's first sweetheart, is located at Oakland Cemetery. Her tombstone bears an inscription written by poet Edgar Lee Masters, who is burried nearby.
Menard County Historical Museum
Housed in an 1890 Victorian building, the Menard County Museum contains documents, records, clothing and artifacts related to Menard County.
Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition
Abraham Lincoln spent 30 years in Central Illinois, where he raised his family and pursued his passion for the law and politics. Today, the 42 counties of the state's Central region have been designated as the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area, which is managed by the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition. The group is responsible for preserving the history and heritage of Lincoln's Illinois, and offers information on historic sites and suggested tours.
Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site
Step back in time and explore historic New Salem just as Lincoln knew it. This meticulously reconstructed 1830s village is where Lincoln lived as a young adult, studied law and began politics. Everything from the people to the blacksmith's workshop gives visitors a glimpse into what pioneer life was really like when young, burly Abe was throwing down his axe. Open 7 days a week.
Abraham and Mary Lincoln maintained a family pew in their place of worship. You can quietly view the pew and beautiful Tiffany stained glass windows in the First Presbyterian Church.
Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site
This is the only remaining structure where Abraham Lincoln maintained working law offices. Lincoln and his final law partner, William Herndon, operated from the top floor of the building from 1843 to 1852. Filled with clutter and makeshift furniture, the offices draw a vivid picture of what a normal day was like for Lincoln and Herndon. Today the building includes a visitor center, federal courtrooms and attorney offices. ***Closed for historic renovation. Plans are to reopen in late 2015 with a restored dry good store, Lincoln's law office and federal court exhibits.***
"Lincoln: History to Hollywood," an exhibition of sets, costumes and props from the Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning film "Lincoln," has opened at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum complex, located in downtown Springfield, Illinois. Items of note in the exhibit include Lincoln's office set, a vignette of Mary Lincoln's bedroom, Lincoln's gloves, Tad Lincoln's tin soldiers, and the rocking chair where President Lincoln sat with Tad. Most of the furniture pieces in the exhibit are antiques from the Civil War era, not reproductions. The exhibits are on long-term loan from Spielberg and DreamWorks Studio. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum features more than 40,000 square feet of galleries, theatres and historic displays that takes visitors on a journey from Lincoln's humble beginnings through his Presidency. The "Lincoln: History to Hollywood" exhibit will be located in Union Station, across the street from the presidential museum.
Lincoln Tomb State Historic Site
The Tomb is the final resting place of President Lincoln, his wife and three of their four children. It was constructed between 1869-1874 in Springfield's Oak Ridge Cemetery. Be sure to rub the nose of the bronze Lincoln bust at the entrance, which is said to bring good luck. Dogs are allowed on the site; they are not allowed inside the monument. Dogs must be under their owner's control, leashed, and cleaned up after at all times.

Chris Tanev to KHL? Swiss League? Narnia?
Patrick Johnston
August 12 2013 03:56PM
It could happen.
Both The Province's Jim Jamieson and the Vancouver Sun's Brad Ziemer tweeted around lunch time that Tanev's agent got out his pots and pans by suggesting that his client doesn't want to go to Russia, but that he'll go there if he doesn't get a fair deal from the Canucks.
A mea culpa and a few other details after the jump.
So, I have to be honest. Two months ago I wrote about Tanev adding an agent; I figured at the time it was most likely he was close to signing. (Though, in fairness, Cam Charron did back me up by pointing out how little leverage a guy like Tanev has.)
Seems I was wrong.
Cue Jim Jamieson, who, admittedly has been doing this far longer and remains far better than I (ok yes, I work with him now, but I wouldn've said that anyway!). There's this:
Talks between Tanev and #Canucks at a standstill.— Jim Jamieson (@JamiesonCanucks) August 12, 2013
.. and this:
#Canucks RFA d-man Chris Tanev has received interest from the KHL and the Swiss elite league, according to his agent.— Jim Jamieson (@JamiesonCanucks) August 12, 2013
That's a lot of smoke. It's fair to say that these parties aren't all that close, especially if Tanev is seriously considering a move to the land where they don't like demonstrations but they did once purport to love workers.
So he may go, he may not. Is he replaceable? Probably? Would it be a loss? Yes, it most certainly would. Solid NHLers on cheap contracts are very valuable, and his role on the team's back-end can't be overlooked. But it wouldn't be a disaster.
It's both the KHL and the Swiss league.
He's a free agent. He has the ability to negotiate with all 30 NHL teams and employers in Europe.
That is the definition of 'leverage'.
He is well within his rights to explore his career options and I doubt he is scouring the blogosphere for opinions on what he should do with his career.
This is a bit ridiculous! Taney has no real leverage since no other team has signed home to an offer sheet. The reason why is that he hasn't proven very much. The agent works for the player and Tanev needs to stop this Tom Foolery righ away. Unless you as a player are ready to go the Russia and play for Mobsters.... Don't pull that card, Tanevs best move is to sign a deal that will be a raise and improve. Simple if you improve your offense, then a big fat paycheck will be waiting. This Euro league/Russia stuff smacks of desperation.
The question is, which Edler will come and play next year?. While Tanev isn't as offensively gifted as Edler, there is no question, that defensively, Tanev outplayed Edler last year.
IMO, if we get the Edler of last year and the year before, then it becomes a bigger loss. I don't expect Edler to fold under the pressure that Torts is likely to put on him, however, stranger things have happened.
I think while Tanev may #5 on our depth chart, when the so-called top four struggled, AV had no issues transplanting him in the top four. I believe Torts will have the same approach. If we lose Tanev to the KHL or SEL or one of our top four get's injured for any meaningful length of time, and if we are relying on Weber, Corrado and whoever else to step it up...it could be a long season.
It's not tom foolery.
It's an alternative workplace.
The reason Tanev hired an agent is likely because Gillis and co are lowballing him.
It's a business not a charity. Tanev is under no obligation to sign a contract he feels is detrimental to his career.

I know people that played in the KHL and unless you are a Russian star you are treated like cattle. If Tanev has a problem with the CBA, Gillis is not the one to complain about. He has no options unless he gets a offer sheet from another team and that's not going to happen, I like Tanev and believe he will get better, but no team is going to give him 3+ mil a year for his skills and the time he has spent in the league, I'm hoping he gets that he has no leverage and going to Sweden will not help his contract situation. He will be a RFA when he gets back. I have no problem with players getting what they can, but you shouldn't pick a fight if you know you can't win.he will get a raise AND if he improves his shot and offense....then he will make his big money. Not this year though.
"Sure does think highly of himself" based on what?
You have no idea what the Canucks are offering him or what he is requesting.
It's amazing that people think Tanev should do this or Tanev should do that.
It's TANEV's career. You and I are merely customers.
"Customers who pay out the nose for tickets and merchandise, and enable the league to make billions of ad revenue."
The NHL will do just fine if you do not enjoy their product.
Just look at how the fans came back after the lockout.
Again, what Tanev chooses to do has nothing to do with what people on the blogosphere thinks he should do.
It's his career not yours.
"The idea that the negotiations exist in a vacuum is a falacy"
Who says it does?
agreed, the biggest loss would be the defensive depth which isn't pretty at the moment even if Tanev resigned.
Agent making a really, really weak attempt at negotiating through the press. Does anyone really believe Tanev wants to go live in Russia? Particularly given the fact that it would crater his earning potential in pro hockey?
The way to make real money is to prove you can play in the best league in the world. He hasn't finished doing that yet. If a guy really wanted to bolt to the KHL for cash, he'd create a reputation as a full-time NHL player first.
This is just nonsense and it shouldn't affect anything. If he won't take what he's worth based on NHL comparables, then he can leave. Can't set a precedent by having this sort of threat affect value.
Half the GMs in the NHL don't know who this kid is and we're expected to believe that there is huge demand for him outside North America?
Half the GMs in the NHL don't know who this kid is and we're expected to believe that there is huge demand for him outside North America?
No one said a thing about "huge demand". It's not unrealistic that he signs with, say, a Swedish club in the hopes that the Canucks get desperate. It would hardly be the first time it's happened, even though it would put a dent in his earnings in the short-term.
I am curious if the Canucks are really low-balling him (like in the NHL minimum salary range). I can't believe he would quibble over a couple hundred thousand on, say, a two-year contract when he'll be making far more money than he ever has before, with a chance at much more.
If there's no real demand league-wide for him now, how does he think that'll change by playing a season in Switzerland?
Good riddance, I don't even want him on the team anymore. A guy who has proven little other than the ability to defend as the 6th/7th defenseman, and who certainly hasn't come close to accomplishing anything offensively in the league sure does think highly of himself.
How many years would he need to play in Europe/Asia to shake the restricted tag?
Customers who pay out the nose for tickets and merchandise, and enable the league to make billions of ad revenue. It matters how much a player is paid because as customers, the cap hit affects the team, and that affects my enjoyment of the product. If Tanev takes 3 million of a cap hit, I sure won't be thanking him for handcuffing the team and my enjoyment of the product.
The idea that the negotiations exist in a vacuum is a falacy.

Hemsky's lungs and PK problems
Jason Gregor
January 02 2009 03:19PM
The cavalry isn't coming and neither is Ales Hemsky. Hemsky spoke to the media today and he is still not feeling well enough to practice, so look for him to miss at least the next two games, and realistically the Vancouver game as well.
It doesn't sound like a call up will happen, so the Oilers will go with the same lineup tomorrow, and the same lines. I asked MacTavish, now that Hemsky is out for the next few games, if he would put someone else on Horcoff's right wing.
"Like whom?" he replied.
I suggested possibly Cole or Brule.
"Cole would be the guy, but they (Nilsson and Gagner) are playing well together. Brule. Is he ready for that? We will start him in a lesser role and see where he goes from there. If looks like he is having a dynamic game offensively then it will be an easy switch.
"So far Liam (Reddox) has done a decent job. He scored a goal the first game, and was instrumental in the goal that was disallowed, so it that would be a couple points in two games so that's pretty good production. It's something I'll entertain but not at this moment."
I haven't been one to jump all over MacTavish, but this decision puzzles me. How will you know if Brule is ready unless you give him a shot? What do you have to lose? Or what about calling up Ryan Potulny, since he leads the Sprinfield Falcons in goals? I agree that the Gagner line is playing well, so there is no point moving Cole, but Reddox is not the answer. Brule might not be either, but I'd like to see that first before I make that conclusion. Give him a shot. But Reddox isn't the biggest problem for the Oilers right now.
Their PK is atrocious. It has been all season, and it isn't showing signs of improving. Of course, the face-offs are a major issue, but they are only part of the problem. Consistently the PK is giving up the seam pass, and with mostly veterans on the PK that is inexcusable.
"It's been the main contributor for the last couple of loses. We need to have more of a presence in the dangerous areas where we are giving up those really good looks. We are hesitant on the PK and that is never good. We just have to focus more on individual assignments," said MacTavish.
I asked him what he has to do different as a coach. Will he change the system or the personnel?
"I've seen teams that are chasing a strategy that works, and they never get there. Penalty killing is a very coachable area, and as a coach you should be able to identify the personnel you have and find a system that best suites their strengths. We (coaches) have to focus in on it more and try to improve it."
What about the face-offs?
"You can't do much there as a coach. You can work on it in practice, but ultimately that comes down to guys winning the draws. We might give Tyler Spurgeon a look to see if he can helps us, but ultimately guys have to improve."
What about bringing in a specialist like Perrault?
"I'm always a skeptic. You wonder why a guy is not playing when he has those numbers in the dot. I don't know him very well or his game very well -- the scouts would know better -- but the question is what you give up minus what you create. You bring a guy in like that who is out of a job for a pretty good reason and he has played on a lot of teams, and why is he playing on a bunch of teams? Probably because there are a bunch of weaknesses in his game that are hidden in those face-off numbers. Unlikely that we will do that (bring him in) but we do have to improve, so we will need to do something."
Perrault would help them in the face-off circle, but not on the PK, which is the place they need the most help.
Then why haven't they called up Spurgeon? They can't keep waiting for these guys to win draws, because clearly it isn't happening.
Other tidbits
Marc Pouliot is feeling better and will practice tomorrow, and he might return on Monday. Pouliot looked much better than Hemsky, so expect to see 78 before 83.
Steve MacIntyre will have his face examined on Jan 6, and if everything looks good he expects to take his visor of on the 15th and be ready for action. He says his orbital bone feels fine, but joked that he only thought it was a black eye to begin with so he'll wait for the results before he gets too excited.
Many, including myself, have wondered how long Denis Grebeshkov wants to play in the NHL, or if he will go back to Russia and play in the KHL. While Wanye was cheering loudly as Grebeshkov recorded his first four-point night against the Flames, I wondered how long he would be in the Show.
"I want to play in the NHL as long as possible, because it is way more fun to play here than back home," said Grebeshkov.
When the mic was off we spoke at length about playing back home, and I left with a sense he truly likes it here, but if he gets double the money back home he probably would go. He said he is looking at signing an extension in the NHL first. Either way, I don't see him staying with the Oilers very long. He is a player that teams would have interest in, and unless Tom Gilbert gets moved, I suspect Grebeshkov will be the odd man out. The Oilers need some more size on their backend, and Grebeshkov has a good salary and he can move the puck. Which are two qualities that make him attractive to other teams.
@ Jason Gregor:
I'm sorry if it came across that I though you wanted Reddox there.
My intention was point out that there was no need to support the decision (even for ONE game) even if he got results.
I could care less if Reddox banged in two goals against Ottawa (which he should have). He still shouldn't have been there. Don't you remember what Lumley said on your show regarding playing with better players???
It was just as bad of decision for ONE game as it is for two, three, etc.....
I think that is one of the biggest problems with MacT as a coach. He is far too reactionary or results oriented (which I realize you have to be somewhat). The thing for me is that he sees something happen once and he thinks he just made a remarkable discovery. For example, while watching the last game against Calgary. Nilsson scored on the PP (on a broken play that really had nothing to do with a PP) and I told my buddies that that line would start the next PP for sure.
Did you happen to see who went out for the next PP? He had all day to figure out what his #1 unit would be and the first sign of something he abondoned ship. It's not a huge thing - but I have noticed it alot (and won't bore you with more examples here).
MacT (and others) saw that Reddox scored a goal and they figured it was a good move.
It all goes back to a simple theory:
A coach or a boss has to figure what role/position suits his employees/players and do everything he can to facilate their development in that role....

TW appreciates the Wisdom of MrGregor
January 02 2009, 11:27PM
Does anything Mac t do with lines and this team suprise anybody still? I am past questioning him as far as I am concerned he should be gone along with the rest of the coaching staff and a few players. But lets wait till we are completly out of the play off race and then we can put the blame on. the way things are going Klowe and Tambo are still of the opinion everthing is great in oiler land.
@ Gregor
"So far Liam (Reddox) has done a decent job. He scored a goal the first game, and was instrumental in the goal that was disallowed, so it that would be a couple points in two games so that's pretty good production. It's something I'll entertain but not at this moment."
I loved this quote Gregor... MacT is now counting disallowed goals as points?
Also, not sure if it was ever brought up but Reddox and his PK ability were used exactly 0 seconds in Calgary. His entire situation here smells like you know what.
I just listened to Shawna Horcoff he had more excuses than Mac(shiT), Moreuon was a close second (sounded like Tencer and Stauffer defending mact's coaching) boy this team is a loser, cheer for the flames, at least they know how to run a team.
@ Gregor
Thanks for the reponse. Answers alot of questions other than the one you asked.
I'd like to add up what MacT and Klo add, minus what they take away and see if mayb e, just friggin maybe we should be looking for a few replacements. Hemmer's out so we replace him with Reddox??? Too much Turkey Mac... Don't we have a guy we called up, he added some hemskesque offense? I think his name is Jebus, don't we have another guy, who, correct me if I'm wrong, we traded an nhl player to get.....Mact has lost it, he makes no sense, I don't care if they win 10 in a row, new coach please....hell, I almost ready to sacrifice this season if it gauranteed a new coach. But then again, if we could kill a penalty, we wouldn't be talking about any of this, and who exactly, is responsible for our sudden inability to kill???

There was a fantastic blog post just before the season started looking at Garon's numbers on the PK last year. The conclusion was either Garon was far and away the greatest shorthanded goalie in the NHL, or he got lucky last year and the numbers were going to come crashing down to earth this fall.
I think we've established which of those is the case.

There was a fantastic blog post just before the season started looking at Garon's numbers on the PK last year. The conclusion was either Garon was far and away the greatest shorthanded goalie in the NHL, or he got lucky last year and the numbers were going to come crashing down to earth this fall. I think we've established which of those is the case.
The Oilers do not use statistcial anaylsis. It's counter productive to keeping everyone's friends employed over imporving the hockey club.
I have a question regarding Hemsky and the organization???
If Hemsky himself admitted that he couldn't sleep and had headaches the next day (after the Tootoo hit). Why did we wait to call someone up until after Pouilot got hurt??
Alot of people defended the Reddox move becasue it was an emergency and then he played ad ecent game against Ottawa.
Why were we so slow in recognizing that Hemmer might be out longer than a game or two? Isn't there always a possibility that a guy who suffers any kind of head injury could be out longer?
Who is responsible for making that call in this situation? Doctors, GM, President, Coach???

Child predators can lurk anywhere
April 18, 2009
I try not to judge someone when I first meet them, but I couldn't help myself when I saw this man at my neighbor's daughter's birthday party. He looked scary.
The neighbor introduced him as an 'uncle.' He had long white hair in a pony tail, blue eyes and a stench of alcohol that I smelled the moment I entered my neighbor's living room. Throughout the party he consumed several drinks, beer, wine and I think whiskey.
Despite my efforts to keep an open mind, I felt that this "uncle" embodied creepy. He seemed to stare at the children in an intense, not-normal way. At one point he even tried to engage my 2-year-old, but I stepped in front of him and moved her away.
Apparently I wasn't the only mom who felt uneasy, because another mom came over and we commented on how "strange" the "uncle" seemed. I wanted to get this man's name, so I eventually asked my neighbor for his uncle's name, pretending that I thought I recognized him from somewhere (the Most Wanted list). The neighbor gave me the name, apparently unaware of the uneasiness around this "uncle" of his, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
I didn't talk to the "uncle" except for one brief exchange when he told me he had a rifle, and that he'd love to shoot a bear that had been spotted in the area a few days ago.
I didn't respond but hoped that the cake and presents would come soon so we could leave. Finally the children sang, we had cake, the little girl opened her presents and we made it out of the party. When I got home I immediately checked the uncle's name in a sexual offenders database.
His name was there. He was and still is a sexual predator.
I was shocked. I know that I must've met sexual offenders before, without knowing it, but to see it there on the Web site and know that my children and I were so close to him was chilling.
I told my daughters they couldn't play at the neighbor's home anymore. The little girl was always welcome to come at our house, but not the other way around.
I was afraid this man would ask where we lived and try to hurt me or my children, and I compulsively checked my home alarm system, the doors and windows.
Sexual offenders live among us, and while once they're release from prison they're free individuals, these predators are often repeat offenders. I hope they can find help and be reinserted in society, but I'm not willing to test if they're functional by having them around children.
I'm grateful for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the amendment of May 17, 1996, and the many provisions (different for each state) that allow me to check a sexual offender's whereabouts and to take precautions to protect my family.
Most states have registries, and while they have discretion as to how much information they share, the names are there. Here are two helpful Web sites if you need to check your area:

In this self-portrait Lambert portrayed himself in the uniform of a Light Horseman, displaying his much-prized plumed hat and a water bottle, another souvenir of his time as an honorary officer. His other hand holds up a glass to give cheer to former Light Horse companions, and he looks directly at us. He has a rather pleased, self-confident expression and a rather self-satisfied but somewhat enigmatic smile. His moustache and Vandyke beard, and his pink cheeks, give him a healthy look for his age of forty-seven.
Lambert painted this self-portrait rapidly, with long, quick, spontaneous brushstrokes. While depicting himself in military uniform, he created a sense of informality by showing himself in a flannel shirt, with sleeves rolled up and forearms bare. He added to the humour of the image by showing himself with a light-hearted label – which indicates that both he and the portrait are 'DEDICATED/ TO THE/ AUST. LIGHT HORSE/ PALESTINE'.
The painting ably illustrates the sentiments in the poem Lambert's friend Arthur Adams wrote about him on his death:
his laughter boisterous he loudly spent,
From masterpiece to masterpiece he went.
Curvetting gaily round his eager course:
We love and mourn our Laughing Cavalier!
This was the last work that Lambert painted in England before his departure for Australia in February 1921. It was purchased for the National Gallery of Victoria, together with
A sergeant of the Light Horse (cat.82), when they were exhibited at the Fine Art Society's Gallery, Melbourne, in May 1921.
Later, in 1924, when it was reproduced in a book on his art, Lambert called it Souvenir of the Light Horse (self-portrait) .

One of the requirements each year for the use of the trustlands monies is to announce and advertise where the money is used and what has been purchased. The Huntington Elementary Trustlands committee takes seriously their job to make the best decisions that will see the best results for the students of Huntington Elementary. The trustlands monies have been spent wisely over the years. This year is no different. As part of continued support for items they have purchased in the past, part of the trustlands monies will go toward consumable books to accompany programs already in place.
Trustlands committee members said, "As technology changes almost daily, we feel this is the greatest priority for the trustlands monies for this year. We will be using the trustlands money to build a new computer station in our school with I-Pads. We will be able to purchase 30 I-Pads for a fee of $499 each. This special deal is being offered to schools. This purchase will total approximately $14,970. We feel this is a valuable use of the trustlands money.
"The versatility of the I-Pad will be very useful in a classroom setting. Apps are the inexpensive way to go in using these I-Pads to their optimal benefit. For example, an app with a selection of a particular book can be shared among all the I-Pads and 30 students can be reading the same book at the same time on the I-Pad and they can receive special instructions from their teachers at the same time.
"Reading and comprehension is a big concern at all times for school children. Students must learn to read, but they must also learn to interpret and make sense of what they read so they can test and answer questions regarding content. Working as a group on the same application offers many advantages to students. There are apps which test and question the students on what they have read. The possibilities are really endless to what this technology can do for students in the classroom.
"One great way to teach students math is by playing math games. The math apps for the I-Pads are a great and interactive way for math to come alive for the student. All of the students will be able to work individually on areas where they need the most help. There are tests available to gauge and determine the learning that is taking place.
"As changes in testing take place all the time and new requirements and methodologies are implemented, the Huntington Elementary students will be ready, because they have been introduced to a variety of testing methods. Their test results will improve due to their drilling on required subjects in conjunction with their I-Pad use.
"In addition to extensive drilling there will be special emphasis on multiplication and division.
"There are great applications available to enhance reading and comprehension. The phonics programs and phonics awareness will help students in spelling and all aspects of reading and retention.
"The applications will enhance and supplement what the teachers are teaching the students. Concepts and skills will be reinforced.
"The I-Pad lab will be available for the teachers to check-out for use by their class of students. Having enough I-Pads for an entire class will be a great asset to our school. Teaching a smaller group of students can be beneficial as skill sets are different with all students. As students are placed in smaller groups added learning can take place on a more individual basis.
"Another aspect where I-Pads come in handy is for reteaching. When ideas, concepts and programs are reintroduced and reviewed prior to testing and as a brush-up when the students come back from summer break.
"The reading apps really help the students with their fluency. Their reading is increased. It's fun for them, and they choose to read more on their own.
"Special apps are available that address the needs of the younger students. They will expand and grow their vocabulary abilities. They will learn letter naming, sounds and identification of words. Older students will have writing apps that encourage creative writing and actual handwriting skills.
"One great app is the storyline application where a story is started and then the student will finish the story in their own words and develop an alternative ending. These type of opportunities allow the imagination to flow.
"The Huntington Elementary students will be tested in all required areas and we will measure the test scores to watch for improvement once the I-Pad use is implemented," said committee members.
Huntington Elementary has been able to enhance the learning of their students with the trustland monies that come into the school each year.


text: Doesn't make a Logia DF ability any less great though. Especially when you have to factor in the use of Haki with Zoan or Paramecia DF's just to measure up to a Logia DF by itself. And you could say that any DF user relies on their abilities too much, not just Logias. But in One Piece, even that's a stupid statement since a DF changes a person's body so much that they kind of can't help but use their DF abilities. I could understand if there was some monumental drawback to using DF abilities too much, but there isn't. Actually, we could make a case for DF users not using their abilities enough. If we think about it, Aokiji could have won the war by himself with some extra planning to accommodate his DF ability.

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Husband loves them
"He's been wearing the shoes a couple times a week since we bought them, so that's a good sign--and he says they fit quite well and are comfortable. They are a tad long, but so long as you aren't a particularly clumsy person, this shouldn't be an issue!"

WWD reports two unsettling truths this week on the topic of organized crime in the garment trade. First, that the figures for stolen merchandise is on the rise, with over 50% of the brands surveyed admitting to being victims of organized crime in the past 12 months (up from 49.6 % last year). Second, that jeans are among the top targets for cargo theft at this time.
