Nicole KidmanReplyCancel
Yes Nicole frozen face Kidman. She is getting worse as she gets older and me thinks she will not be ageing gracefullyReplyCancel
Most of them? Getting scary over there in Hollywood. O_o
All the women as they age are starting to all look alike. Then when you see their younger photos and it's shocking to see how they have mutilated their faces w/ all the botox and fillers.
It's pitiful to watch them all transform into this puffy distorted cat face w/ lumpy cheeks and big lips that don't match the structure of their mouth. Very disturbing.ReplyCancel
Poor Nicole. I hope she can still make a BJ mouth, or she'll never get any work.ReplyCancel
lol @count. Although, I just can't picture Nicole doing that. Though, I can picture her wincing at the thought and informing her lads that a BJ just is NOT going to happen.ReplyCancel
I think it cld be anyone too! Just read sunday paper magazine section, with pic of Nancy O' Dell on the cover.(if u r saying who's that, so was I, lol). Her face is so botoxed i looked twice. She now looks like every other middleaged botoxed woman in hollywood.ReplyCancel
Jane Fonda, shooting now and some old work was starting to slip.ReplyCancel
Maybe Sandra Bullock? I've been thinking that her face seems to look stiffer than in years past…ReplyCancel
@Sherry, I LOVE Doris Roberts! I was watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy and all of a sudden, there's Ma Barone!
Fun fact: her first Emmy award wasn't for Everybody Loves Raymond, it was for playing a homeless woman on St. Elsewhere, she was nommed for an Emmy on Perfect Strangers, and she writes cookbooks. <3ReplyCancel
For some strange reason I looked at some pictures of Morgan Fairchild last night. I always thought she looked good as the years have gone by, but now she looks different. It's really sad.ReplyCancel
Fonda's smiling here recently, I don't think it's her:
And she has this awesome chair, so clearly she's still a hoot. Hey girl:
Count – she can always just open up the backdoor.ReplyCancel
@Texas: I bet she demands a producer credit for that. Her ass does seem to be holding up well though.ReplyCancel

This is very sad to see: (
"Not even a cray super computer can make this game run well. Thats what happens when you code an MMO in pascal. " - miglor
The game is in the process of localization already, the western publisher is selected, how about we wait for the announcement before jumping to conclusions and spreading misinformation.
The game is coming to NA/EU this year, no matter what the naysayers will tell you. Just hang tight...
CryEngine 3 is even more amazing than what the demo shows, but it was still a sweet tech demo.
They said Q4 2013 / Q1 2014.
Btw this "new" video isnt actually that "new".
Suk Woo Choi: ArcheAge will launch at the end of this year in Korea, and the goal is to launch it in North America towards the end of 2013, or the beginning of 2014. Once we have a publisher set and the game's launched in Korea, things will be clearer for the US.
My bad Kano it's end of 13 or 2014 I saw this last year so I remember how long away we are for release I forget we hit 2013 allready, still previous Korean mmorpg took over a year to release in west so I do get discouraged. In my mind "time is money" so that's why I feel the way I feel.
Edit: see he said will launch this year in Korea and that was 2012 and still in beta.
Ok now that info is correct, if somebody said 2014/15 they'd be fired as Jake Song had zero tolerance for misinformation.
2013 is what they have their sights set for by all means.

I believe I have a toilet venting issue. During bathroom construction of another bathroom, we discovered the plumbing vent in the attic was apart at a seam not far from where soil stack goes through roof. We glued it back together. Since then, a bathroom located approximately 15'plus feet away has been acting up. It seems it's clogged (toilet paper only)but when plunged it works for about two flushes. The water remains low in the bowl and then when flushed again it does an exploding bubble thing and is 'clogged' again. What do think? The toilet is about 25 yrs old. The toilet in the other bathroom works fine for the most part and is new (I don't like new toilets-they don't handle as well!).

|In response to Re: Deep well Jet pump.
: Hi, I recently moved to a rural house serviced by a well. There was an older submersible system on the well which eventually went so we replaced the tank, switch and pump last weekend. We have a 50/30 switch with our new tank pressure adjusted to 28lbs. For a week, the system has work flawlessly. This morning my wife calls and says we have no water at all. I ask her to go check the breaker on the well and see if there is water at the well itself. She says the breakers are fine and she even tripped them to be sure. No water and nop noise comming from the pump. The only thing that happened during the install is my brother , with his headstrong "I know it all attitude" wired it wrong while I was attending to an urgent matter. Once he did and turned on the breaker, nothing..or so he says. I caught his error and rewired it. It immediatly began working properly. He haqd interchanged the ground wire with a power wire while hooking the pump side to the switch. Now I worried that he really messed it up but if it was damaged by that act, would it have done so well all week long? I monitored it after the fact and made sure it was cutting in and out properly and it was. Am I about to go home and find that his carelessness has cost me a pump or could the damage be at the switch? Thats not as an expensive item to replace. I soldered my connections to the new pump, double heatshrinked them and then taped them tightly. Could switching those wires have cause the switch to kick out or could it have done damage down at the pump?
My guess is the pump isn't getting power, or correct pwoer and I suspect "double heatshrinked" has something to do with that. Why do you think done right has to be reinvented?
It sounds as if your relative wired it up 120 instead of 240. I kinda doubt that is the cause of it not working now.

Bruins GM, Peter Chiarelli traded Phil Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs on September 19th, 2009 for a first and second round pick in 2010 and a first rounder in 2011. This past June he used those picks to select Tyler Seguin and London Knight centre, Jared Knight, but it seems Chiarelli wants to trade this year's pick for someone who can help the Bruins right now.
Chiarelli was asked on WEEI radio in Boston if he'd consider trading Toronto's first round pick in 2011?
"Yeah, I'd look at it, sure. I've had discussions involving that pick. I certainly would look at it. We've got a lot of assets, so that alone allows us to be creative also … there's been one [deal] that we've thrown around here internally, I don't know that I would do it but it's something that warrants further discussion."
The last sentance is absolute brilliance on Chiarelli's behalf.
How often have fans lamented that their GM could have gotten more in return had he waited longer when trading away an elite asset. Oiler fans, and even Kevin Lowe himself, have wondered if he could have received more for Chris Pronger in the summer of 2006. (Back then he got Joffrey Lupul, Ladislav Smid and two first rounders and a 2nd. Today the trade has evolved into Jim Vandermeer, Smid, Jordan Eberle, Martin Marincin and Cam Abney).
Opposing GMs and Bruins' supporters wondered why then-GM, Mike O'Connell didn't let the rest of the league know he was shopping Joe Thornton. The Bruins got fleeced in that deal getting only Wayne Primeau, Brad Stuart and Marco Sturm.
Clearly Chiarelli wants everyone to know where he stands with his "bonus" pick.
Chiarelli's comments make it clear the Leafs' pick is in play, but the subtle hint that he is close to a trade will surely get every other GM's attention. Right now the pick would be the 5th choice, and at the very least it will be in the top-eight. Chiarelli is in a great position. His team is competitive, they already have a potential star in the system, Seguin, from the original deal, and now by going public he has increased his chances of maiximizing his return.
With 20 days until the trade deadline, this simple quote will have fans in every market looking at potential deals that could help their team.
While every team would love a shot at a top-five pick, the reality is there might only be a handful of teams who are willing, and able, to offer up a fair package.
Ottawa, Toronto, Florida, New Jersey, the Islanders and Edmonton are either completely out of the playoff race or hanging by a thread like Buffalo, Columbus and St. Louis. There are many teams currently in the hunt for the postseason, but would any of their GMs be willing to sacrifice this season for a potential top-five pick?
According to Capgeek the Bruins can "currently" only acquire a max cap hit of $2.9 million, so I'm assuming any trade they make will see Michael Ryder, and his $4 million cap hit, as part of the package going the other way.
EDMONTON: The Oilers are currently 30th, and Steve Tambellini would be willing to part with a proven player to secure a second top-five pick in June. Ales Hemsky and Dustin Penner are the only Oiler veterans that would grab Chiarelli's attention. Chiarelli acquired Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell for Dennis Wideman and the 15th pick last summer, so it might take more than just Hemsky or Penner to get the pick. I suspect Chiarelli will want some sort of young prospect to be added to any deal.
OTTAWA: I know it would be within the division, but Chiarelli had no problem making the original deal with Toronto, so I don't see him shying away if the Sens put a good deal on the table. Chris Phillips is the obvious name to be part of the package, but the Sens would need to add much more. Would Mike Fisher entice Chiarelli? I don't think so, because he has two years left at $4.2 million, but Bryan Murray should be trying to save his job by securing another top-five pick.
New Jersey: Despite their recent hot streak, they aren't going anywhere, and you wonder if Lou Lamoriello wants to break up his team rather than see them drop out of the bottom five. Lamoriello's problem is he doesn't have anyone who financially fits with the Bruins. Elias and Rolston are too expensive, and past their prime. Would Lou gamble and move Travis Zajak and David Clarkson? Zach Parise is up for a big raise, so the Devils need to make some room.
FLORIDA: Chiarelli and Dale Tallon made a deal at the draft, but I'm not sure they can come up with another one. The Panthers only have veterans Weiss, Booth, Olesz, Wideman, Kulikov, Clemmensen and Bryan Allen under contract for next season. Bryan McCabe, Cory Stillman, Radek Dvorak and Chris Higgins won't get you a top-five pick. I don't see Florida being a partner.
NY ISLANDERS: Garth Snow wouldn't move John Tavares, and after that he doesn't have anyone who could help the Bruins playoff push. Marc Streit and Trent Hunter are hurt, and the rest of the lineup is too inexperienced.
TORONTO: You know that Brian Burke will call Chiarelli and see if he is interested in making another deal, and if I'm Chiarelli I'd be all ears. I loved the deal he pulled off in 2009, but this time Burke's cupboard is a tad bare. I'm sure Tomas Kaberle's name will be first out of the gate, like it has been for the past two years. Would Kris Versteeg and Kaberle be enough?
BUFFALO: Sabres new owner, Terry Pegula, has a reputation of being very aggressive, but Darcy Regier hasn't been that way in his tenure in Buffalo. The Sabres, after their win Tuesday, are only four points out with two games in hand. I'll bet Pegula would rather make the playoffs this year, and if they stay close in the next few weeks, I think they'll be more of a buyer than a seller.
ST. LOUIS: Most of the Blues best players are young, and moving one of them for another top-five pick would seem like a lateral move. The Erik Johnson trade rumblings don't make sense, especially for a draft pick. I don't think Andy MacDonald and Eric Brewer would entice Chiarelli and I doubt the Blues would move one of Oshie, Perron or Backes.
COLUMBUS: The Jackets have won three straight and are only four points behind 8th place Calgary with two games in hand. GM, Scott Howson's job is on the line if he misses the playoffs, so I don't see him trying to build a future that he won't be a part of. I see Howson as a buyer, especially if the Jackets are within four points or less.
CALGARY: The Flames are 11-3-4 since Darryl Sutter
resigned got fired, and suddenly in the playoff picture. Would Jay Feaster roll the dice and trade Robyn Regehr, and hope his team could still make the playoffs and get a top pick? The Flames are in a tough spot. They don't have much depth in the farm, but would Feaster, or more specifically the owners, be willing to sacrifice a few home playoff dates for a potential franchise player? Tough call.
MINNESOTA: The Wild haven't had a first round pick pan out since they took Brent Burns 20th in 2003. Since Burns they've drafte AJ Thelan (12th, 2004), Benoit Pouliot (4th, 2005), James Sheppard (9th, 2006), Colton Gillies (16th, 2007), Tyler Cuma (23rd, 2008), Nick Leddy (17th, 2009) and Michael Granlund (9th, 2010). Granlund and Leddy are too young to judge yet, but the rest are more suspects than prospect at this point. Chuck Fletcher needs to make a splash, and I wonder if Nick Schultz and Matt Cullen would get Chiarelli's attention.
I'm sure many other GMs will contact Chiarelli to find out his asking price, and after yesterday's comments I'm sure Chiarelli's phone will be ringing frequently.
Letting the entire league know that a potential top-five pick is on the market was a savvy move by Chiarelli, and I won't be surprised if he ends up getting more than the supposed offer that is currently on the table. The only negative might be that the current GM that he is dealing with gets annoyed and backs out.
Chiarelli likely weighed the options and realized, that in this case, a public auction will garner a higher price than what he would have got in a silent one.
Brilliant move.
The capgeek figure includes Marc Savard, who I think will be moving to LTR, though I might be mistaken.
Personally, I'd rather have hemsky or Penner than Cullen and Schuktz, but maybe I'm a homer.
Fun days to be Chiarelli, its gonna be like picking from a buffet.
February 08 2011, 10:48PM
When you read about what the teams have to offer.....no one compares to what the oilers have. I think Fisher is the only guy that would draw interest from Ottawa but Boston needs scoring and I don't think fisher is that guy. He's a properly paid Horcoff. Boston's got their guy in that role in Bergeron
Edmonton has skilled forwards and can eat cap space for teams if it helps their future.
Hemsky/Vandermeer (Boston isn't deep on D if they're making a serious run)
1st/Ryder + another salary dump
Keeping in mind that toronto's pick isn't likely to be a lottery pick (likely 5-10). Hemmer is a proven "star". Edmonton can't get too carried away. Tambo earns his legacy this year because this will shape the team and he can't ask MBS to do the trades for him.
Gregor: Do you figure that the young asset you speak of coming from the Oilers would be in the caliber of a young gun currently with the team, or in the prospect pool. If it is a player on the team I would see that as somewhat of a lateral move but curious to see what you think. Seems to me as if the kids with the club right now should figure heavily in the future direction of the team.
I don't want the Oilers to trade Penner and Hemsky. Especially not when they are still signed for 1 more year. Especially when the kids still need sheltering next year. Especially when there's still a chance they can be extended. Especially for a pick that might not even be in the top 8. Especially in a rather weak draft year. Especially when we will already get a top 3 pick of our own.
No thanks.
If Burkie has taught us anything, DO NOT trade with this "genius". You'll likely get fleeced.
February 08 2011, 11:12PM
Oilers should see if they can get Rishaug to do another story. A mock of Chiarelli where Tambo comes out stating that he is indeed thinking about trading Sheldon Souray. He's had a couple offers already that just need to be signed in summer, he just doesn't want to hurt his development in the A that he's been getting. He's a true leader and really taking responsibility in driving the team bus!
Hopefully Tambellini does not wait to long to make a move,If there is a deal to be made with Boston then he should be on the phone and offer up one of Hemsky or Penner.
I think Chiarelli is betting his Leaf's pick won't be top 5. Hemsky or Penner for a pick outside the top 5? I sure hope not.
February 08 2011, 11:44PM
Nice post.
As for the Flames: "Would Jay Feaster roll the dice and trade Robyn Regehr, and hope his team could still make the playoffs and get a top pick?"
Without Regehr, the Flames are not making the playoffs.
February 09 2011, 12:00AM
The Flames could offer Chiarelli the once-in-a-lifetime deal of Sarich AND Hagman for only one Toronto 1st round pick! Act now, and they'll throw in Kotalik (4 points in 4 games in the AHL) at absolutely no extra cost.
February 09 2011, 12:12AM
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush...luckily for us we have 2 birds plus some spare parts.
Hemsky's been in the line up and out of and we still do the same when he's around vs when he's not. So we're not much worse off.
Penner is a rare breed...big with skill!
Birds Hemmmer + Penns
Spare Parts Brule, Cogs, Vandamer, Foster
remember a 15th+Weidmen for 1 30 point player and an 18 point player to date.
So my offer is Hemsky + Vandameer for - TO's Pick+ 2nd round 2011-2012/or prospect
No Salary Dump taken back. They need Vandamer for depth in the playoffs.
Throw Plante/Chorney in a sweetener if needed.

Is letting the league know that a player or pick is available really considered a brilliant move? I'd say not letting it be known is absolutely asanine and ridiculously stupid. On the occasion when the media isn't getting a hold of the information I'm still sure a gm shops their availability list.
In regards to the Joe Thornton trade, "absolutely asinine and ridiclously stupid."
Is Ryder worth a 2nd round pick?
I'd rather not move Penner or Hemsky and sign both, but lets pretend we know NEITHER will re-sign.
With Savard done for the year, this is feasible:
To Boston:
Ales Hemsky Dustin Penner
To Edmonton:
TO 1st BOS 2nd Joe Colborne Micheal Ryder
... and then we flip Ryder for another second.
Does that make sense for both sides? Oilers are giving up two legitimate top line forwards. Boston is giving up a top 5 pick, a top 60 pick, a former first rounder, and a salary dump.
Oilers rebuild is likely done as far as adding pieces is concerned (3 2nd round picks, 2 1st round picks, both in the lottery). Boston becomes instant favourites to come out of the East.
It's a big time deal with hefty costs on both sides.
... thoughts?
February 09 2011, 01:11AM
It would be nice to gain TO's pick from Boston, but I'd like to see any kind of deal with Atlanta go first. Athough a top 10 pick would be right for the Oiler's "rebuild", I'd like to see a few prospects gained in return via trade opposed to drafting and developing....mostly cause I'm impatient and want success next year not in 5.lol. Sell Penner high!!! I doubt he'll resign and we can get highest value now, opposed to seasons 2006-2008 in comparison IMO
If there's anything to the Atlanta/Edmonton rumors surrounding Bogo/Hemsky, then all bets are off the table. I'd much prefer deal for a 21 year old D with 200 GP and is a former top 3 pick.
I'm not sure Brian Burke's stupidity equals Chiarelli's genius. Other than that you make a good point. I just hope Tambellini doesn't stumble into someone elses bear trap. Between his deals and Kevin Lowe's deals I am far from comfortable with their combined judgement on pro trades. The only reason for hope for the Oil currently is MacGregor's minor league drafting and not much is proven on any of his changes so far due to the early stages of the player's growth.
What a hunk.

In my dream world the Flames would send Bourque, Saarich, + a pick (if they had to and not a first rounder) to pry Bogosian out of Atlanta. Then maybe they could make the deal for Regehr to Boston for the first rounder. Calgary could take Ryder back as a salary dump and maybe throw in a pick or prospect to compensate. That would be about $11 million out and a little under $7 million coming back. Giving Calgary a much needed $4 mill in breathing room.
I think Hemsky is a better player than Horton. His value should be higher. Horton got Fla another NHL player and 15th overall, Hemsky should be able to top the draft number.
I would like to hang onto Penner. He is a unique player in the organization and one that can't be easily replaced in the off season.
Oops, double post
As Sumoil stated, either Hemsky or Penner for just TO's 1st is not a good deal, let alone adding to it from the Oiler side.
Chiarelli putting it out there that TO's pick is available is smart as it will help drive the price as up.
I hesitate to use the word genius though.
Maybe watching Kevin Lowe and Steve Tambellini operate for years has lowered the "genius" bar around here.
Its a smart move, but I guess next to the Oiler management it looks like he's making gold from lead.
To Boston: Hemsky, 2nd round pick, Tambellini
To Edmonton: Chiarelli
Any day.
February 09 2011, 07:34AM
Tambellini is not that smart.
February 09 2011, 07:48AM
How do you figure you are going to get a second from anyone for Ryder?
February 09 2011, 07:54AM
To Boston: Hemsky, 2nd round pick, Tambellini
To Edmonton: Chiarelli
Any day.
We'd definitely have to take one or two "slower" (see: assessing the situation) people from their front office to compensate for the "IQ dump" going their way

I was about to say the same thing... you have a draft pick that you feel has excellent value.
Going to the top of the tallest mountain and yelling "This pick is available" seems more like common sense than genius.
Genius would be getting a player like like Hemsky + a good young player in return.
How do you figure you are going to get a second from anyone for Ryder?
Buffalo scored a 2nd for Kotalik a couple of years ago, so I assume virtually anything is possible.
You are correct and that is why I put "currently" since it could change before Feb 28th.
I think Schultz is underrated as a D-man, and the Bruins need more blueline depth heading into the playoffs.
It will be interesting to see what offer, if any, he accepts.
Schultz is a big time underrated d-man. When ever i have watched wild games or highlights i always notice him and the solid game he plays. I look for him specifically because i used to live with his cousin in university, so maybe i have a bit of a bias there. But i have always thought he was a solid d-man.
February 09 2011, 08:06AM
I'm jumping on the Bogosian train, although I don't think Hemskey or Penner would be enough. ATL is most likely not making the playoffs this year so they would only have either signed for one year. I think the player ATL would take is Gagner. It would be a trade for a young asset for another young asset and fill the needs of both teams, we have too many small forwards and need better D. This would also free up Tambi to draft one of the young centermen (RNH) who would slide into the second line behind Horc for a few years.
February 09 2011, 08:10AM
Yes but Calgary finally got rid of their GM, and even if Sutter was still there Calgary doesnt have a second round this year to get back for him and they dont have the cap space
. . .

February 09 2011, 08:13AM
I'm amazed there seems to be so much support for trading one of Hemsky/Penner for what looks to be around the 5th pick.
I can't be the only one who feels that both Hemsky & Penner are better players then most 4/5 picks ever turn out to be.
I might be totally out to lunch, but if either Hemsky/Penner goes to Boston for TO's pick, I'd be looking for Boston to add something

It was Tambellini who gave BUF a 2nd for Kotalik, not Sutter.

You're not alone, and you are correct.
February 09 2011, 08:27AM
i think we need a top centermen desperately, and if we trade to boston and get TO pick we probably won't get couturier or nugent - hopkins. I think trade hemsky, penner, and possibly cogliano to l.a for brayden shenn and get something else in return and then draft larsson at the draft. I think that would be the smartest thing because we now have a top centermen and top defencemen. also reading your latest blog we have a lot of good forwards coming up.
February 09 2011, 08:37AM
So what exactly happens when that pick ends up being closer to a top 10 pick than a top 5 pick? Not sure I really want to give up either Hemsky or Penner for a top 10. Too much risk. I do however think if we have any intention at moving either guy, that we do it this year.
Very few guys around this year for trade and I really don't want to risk Hemsky going down next season and getting nothing for him.
But I think ST might not sharebour feeling. Then again he was dangling hemsky for the second overall pick, so he may want a decent prospect back with the pick.
February 09 2011, 08:57AM
omg yes I know. I was implying that sutter was the only one stupid enough for Tambo to pull that off with.
It would be really nice if we could get more out of the Bruins if we have to bring Ryder back here. Jordan Caron could be big body RW, Adam McQuaid a big stay at home defender, or even Colborne for our big center.
It might be asking too much, but I think we are dealing from a position of strength when our 2 players we are moving both have a year left on their deals. We haven't been in the driver's seat on many deals in the past.
Interesting article, but I'd say Toronto is not really a trade possibility. The optics simply wouldn't allow it.
If the Leafs re-acquired their own 2011 pick for the package Gregor mentions, then the entire deal boils down to:
To Toronto: Kessel
To Boston: Seguin, Knight, Versteeg, Kaberle
Even though both separate transactions might have looked somewhat plausable as individual deals at the time they were made, when you put them together (and every MSM and fan in North America will do just that) and look at them in hindsight, it's just so lopsided as to be laughable.
Burkie has to deal with the fact that this one didn't swing his way. Trying to 'fix' it now will only make it worse and could cost him his job.
It would be nice to gain TO's pick from Boston, but I'd like to see any kind of deal with Atlanta go first.

Sell Penner high!!! I doubt he'll resign and we can get highest value now, opposed to seasons 2006-2008 in comparison IMO
In a perfect world the Oilers could perhaps do both!
If there is legs to the Atlanta deal with Bogosian, Hemsky would be the main target for them. Not sure how and what would have to be in this deal but it is possible. Any ideas?
Penner would be Boston's target not Hemsky. Would a Penner/Gilbert/Calgary's 3rd for Toronto's #1/Colbourne/Ryder be close. As mentioned here already, Ryder could be flipped for a pick. It is a contract year for him and as usual he is scoring again. He could add supplemental scoring for a playoff bound team.
Cap space works for all teams infact Boston would still have roughly 2.9 to spend to fill in this year.
I think Burke only made that deal because he wanted to sign Kessel as an RFA but couldn't because of the optics, given his ridiculous reaction to Lowe signing Penner, the old cutting off the nose to spite the face.
While Hemsky and Penner may be better than most 5th overall picks, the simple fact is that they may not be here when it's finally time for the Oilers to compete. Trading them at their maximum value, whether that value is less than their current abilities (i.e. a 5th overall pick), is a good move, especially since at this time, their skills aren't helping the Oilers make the playoffs.
Do you think Magnus Paajarvi has more upside than Penner or Hemsky? He was a 10th pick. Sure it might be a gamble, but if Penner or Hemsky don't want to be here past next season, you need to get something for them.
That's the crux of it really.
Tambo needs to figure out before the deadline if Penner and Hemsky will sign extensions on July 1.
If they will, they're off the table baring a massive overpay.
If they won't, now is the time to move them, and you need to make sure you get a lot more than a deal centered around Nilsson or Lupul....
February 09 2011, 09:48AM
A lot of bad ideas in this thread.
Hemsky/Penner is worth more than this pick. This is bad trade straight up. If the Oilers trade one of them to the Bruins Seguin has to be coming back.
Something like Hemsky + our first round pick for Seguin + their first round pick. That's the floor of a trade for the Oilers.
Hemsky + Penner for Schenn is another massive overpay. One of those guys for Schenn is closer to fair value.
February 09 2011, 09:54AM

Magnus might have more offensive upside then Penner, but I doubt he has more offensive upside then Hemsky.
A quick scan of 5-10 picks however shows your odds of getting a player superior to Hemsky/Penner in those slots really isn't that good.
Of course your last sentence is key though, if they aren't planning on sticking around (for a resonable price) then the team needs to get something for them... if a 5-10 pick is the best we can do, then so be it.

When sautéing or grilling chicken breasts the difficulty lies in the proper amount of time to apply heat. One end of the breast is rather thicker than the other. So the thinner end over cooks while the thicker end is still a little underdone. The simple solution is to bring the overall thickness into harmony.
Place your boneless, skinless chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap, or simply put it into a plastic bag. Take your mallet and pound the thicker end down to about one half inch thickness. Repeat with the rest of your chicken breasts. Now they will cook evenly without half of it drying out.
At this point some recipes call for a marinade. Any flavor packed liquid to soak the meat for about one hour. Asian marinades are quite popular when grilling. Mix together some teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, crushed garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, hot sauce, lime juice, 5 spice powder and anything else you feel might please the family.
Place the marinade in a plastic bag with the chicken breasts and as you close the bag squeeze out as much of the air as you can. Massage the sauce into the breasts. Allow to marinade for no more than one hour.
Pre heat your grill and be sure to oil the grate so the meat won't stick. Remove meat from the bag and grill over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side. When grilling the first side turn the breast 90 degrees halfway through the grilling to give you that nice diamond grill marking. After you remove the breasts from the marinade you may want to bring the liquid to a boil and then brush it on the meat after the first turn.
Serve with a garnish chopped green onion and a side of rice. Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home
Works from the
Peter Fay collection
11 October 18 January 2004
New Zealand 1958
Shell doll 2000
synthetic polymer paint and shells on papier-mache
18.0 X 12.0 X 5.0 cm
PF Val is a New Zealand artist who lives in the sort of hinterland of the North Island, and almost through a rural isolation and very straightened circumstances which she lives, is somebody whose whole culture comes out of television, and the series of dolls that she made came from a workshop that she went to in the town of Masterton, where somebody was giving a lesson in making papier-máchê, or using papier-máchê, and they made papier-máchê dolls.
So Val's first doll-making was in that area, and she made the things from television. She made The Simpsons, she made cartoon characters, all of these various things at a much reduced scale of course. And then there were people working in the studio who were doing some raku firing and she thought she'd have a go at making some dolls in that way.
The sophistication that she'd built up through the papier-máchê suddenly was, what shall I say, not threatened, but challenged by using clay. I think you can see in this that crudeness, or the apparent crudeness, is turned into a real sense of vulnerability in these dolls.
That she transcended just being dolls of television characters, and although they are in some ways deformed, again there's the humanity, and there's also a playfulness, and there's a sense of youth, and age, and dressing up, and also that crossover when a doll in the young child's mind is not a doll, but is a person; a living object.
I think Val's magic is to infuse into these dolls that she's making that sense of the human.
They sort of become metaphors for our own feelings of awkwardness, or 'not quite fitting in', or not feeling right in terms of the advertising world saying what we must look like. They are very vulnerable, and very human, and yet at the same time, with their sewn-on arms; the little buttons to attach the arms and legs, they're very much like that moment at midnight when the dolls become human. They're very much like that for me. They're at that point of becoming.

Lent begins tomorrow! Sign up for one of our Easter devotions.
6:1–3 Ezekiel's address to the mountains and hills of Jerusalem as if they were in sight has prompted some to suggest that for part of his ministry Ezekiel was in Israel instead of with the exiles in Babylon. However, though the hills and mountains of Israel were his metaphorical audience, the real audience was the exiles themselves. Compare Ezekiel's prophecy regarding the people of Edom addressed to Mount Seir (ch. 35).

Lace-Cup Underwire Nursing Bra
- Beautiful mesh lace cups and frame
- Quick, one-handed clasp for easy nursing
- Inner sling for support
- Underwire for added support*
"The Leading Lady Lace Cup Nursing Bra is my favorite! It is a beautiful nursing bra that is also comfortable and sexy." ~ Kelly Preston (Aug, 2012)
"Once I had it on, I didn't want to take it off. It really is that comfortable and offers great support. I feel completely secure with my Leading Lady Nursing Bra because it offers complete support the entire time I am wearing it. I am able to easily snap the clasp with one hand for nursing, which is quite handy, too." Roxanne, Children Teaching Mama

* Proper fit is important when wearing an underwire bra while nursing.
Lace: 90% Nylon, 10% Spandex
Lining: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex
Mesh Back: 88% Nylon, 12% Spandex
Hand wash. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Line dry. Iron as needed using low temperature.
Country of Origin: Imported
I am a first time mom and waited 2 weeks postpartum to buy a nursing bra. The suggested size was a bit large on the band. The cups fit great. The lining and lace is super soft. The wire rubbed a little in my armpit but I think if i could have adjusted the band tighter it wouldn't rub. I would buy it in a 36 not a 38 next time. It is a sexy bra which is nice while adjusting to the altered appeared of my milk filled breasts.
I bought the ivory over nude version of this bra. I'm a 36DD, but had to buy 38 because they don't make a 36, but I suggest that they do! I like the support of the underwire, and I also like the lace. It's nice to have a nursing bra that looks a little sexier. The lace looks smooth for the most part under a tshirt. The one downside to the bra is there is literally NO padding to it, it is lined under the lace basically with tshirt material, so you can definitely see when the headlights are on. It would be perfect if it was lined with a thin padding.
No questions asked yet, be the first!

So my lo was always easy to get to sleep but in the last week has become such a challenge. I'm doing all the stuff that use to put her to sleep, Placing my nose on her forehead to feel my gental breathing, patting her bottom, and humming to her. Every now and then i must "pin her down" (to hot to swaddle but she'll wave her arms to keep herself from going to sleep, so i'll hold her hand in one position and lay my arms on her legs so she can't flail them). Last night was a nightmare. She would not go to sleep. I tried all the above + bob marley (always works at calming her down), rocking, getting up and pacing with her. If i laid in bed with her she would struggle with me rolling from her side to her back and then back to her side over and over, I tried nursing her repeateadly. But it took me 31/2 hrs to finally get her to settle down for the night! I was so frustrated by the end of this. and my husband was at work so it's just me. My family is telling me that if I continue to help her settle down for the night i'm going to have to do all of that everynight. That it's because i'm wearing her all the time to put her to sleep. I should force her to sleep in other places: Like a stoller instead of wearing her and that I should just lay down with her and let her cio. I don't know what to do? Is this just a phase? she just going on 4 months in a few days.

Trouble getting little one to sleepTags: None
Same boat...
My DS was the same. By the time I had figured out a way to put him to sleep (walking, singing, etc...), he changed the program. It was around 4 months, which was when he was turning over, teething, and such. I had to figure out a new way to put him to sleep, and it seemed like when he was doing something new, I had to adjust my nighttime routine because what I was doing before didn't work anymore. I have to say that after his teeth came out, he settled down a bit and it's been easier.
I have always been concerned about him not falling asleep on his own because that's the "norm." I have tried to put him down on his own while sleepy and he cried, not sleep. I refuse to let my baby cry just so I can claim "normalcy." I was really paranoid about other people and what they thought in the beginning, but I have come to realize that my son is different, and those people don't live in my house and aren't raising my son. So, if it works for me, why change it? I think to myself, they can come here and listen to him scream and cry trying to "put himself to sleep." If I were you, I would thank people for their advice and just love and parent your child the best way you know how. I'm sure you're doing a great job. Don't let the hard times hold you back or get you down. You aren't the only one dealing with this!
My DS is 9 mos old, and I still parent him to sleep, but so what? That's my duty to him as his mother. I know I won't be doing this when he's 16 so might as well enjoy it now before he doesn't want to spend any time with me, right?
That's my duty to him as his mother. I know I won't be doing this when he's 16 so might as well enjoy it now before he doesn't want to spend any time with me, right?
That rings so true to me! I sympathize with how hard it is when you are tired and your baby will not relax to sleep but so far my 7wk old has only ever fallen asleep on my chest, his dad's or in the car. Sometimes I wonder if there will be conflict with my husband's family if they find out how we handle things but I couldn't care less that they think I'm wrong or crazy or stupid. Would it be easier not to hold him, talk to him, pat him, walk him, nurse him to sleep every night? Of course (if you are the type who can listen to cries. I last 30 seconds before I'm almost in tears myself) but it would not be responsible or empathetic parenting. You are doing everything just right. Hang in there through the tough stuff and ignore everyone discouraging you.

While I do not have a ton of time to answer your questions thoroughly I just wanted to chime in in agreement in what NUm5mom has said. $ months is a big age of change developmentally. Rolling over, sitting, up, cooing, teething, all the fun interesting things to see and hear. It really is an explosive time of growth. It really helped me to have a few books I could refer to about infant/toddler/child development. I could read a bit about the stage my child was in and it really changed the way I viewed the stage. It changed the way I responded and I no longer saw it as a challenge- I saw it as a normal, natural occurance, not something to be concerned with.
Another important simple change in my thinking was its my role to parent, why suddenly because it gets dark outside does it mean my role changes? Its still my responsibility to parent my child with consistent, loving guidance. I know I sometimes have a difficult time sleeping at night for any number of reasons; headache, over-stimulated throughout the day, worry, anxiety, ate to late, to hot, to cold, etc. If I take a break from "trying so hard" to sleep for a bit of time (heading outside on front porch swing, t

Attachment parenting since 2008
So the nighttime troubles continue. We are on night 6 of this. She is still terribly difficult to settle. Now throughout the day. She struggles in both the sling and in my arms. If she's not crying in frustration (at being tired and not wanting to go to sleep) she's humming loudly to keep herself awake. It's cute sometimes. but terrible frustrating other times. I'm trying everything i can think of to help her settle including nursing. but she just latches and releases. I often use a dark room and singing to her. I have a feeling she's teething. She's drooling like crazy, has a rash on her chin, & every thing is going in her mouth. I so one night about an hour before bed, after 2 hrs of trying to settle her and a challenging day, I finally broke down and gave her some tempra. What a difference! She settled with no problems that night!

Leafs acquire Dave Bolland from Chicago
Cam Charron
June 30 2013 04:54PM
Leafs have landed Dave Bolland.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) June 30, 2013
Toronto trades picks 51, 117 and a fourth rounder in 2014 for Bolland.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) June 30, 2013
Very difficult to gauge how I feel about this one.
From one perspective, it's nice to see that the Toronto Maple Leafs added an NHLer to their roster without giving up an NHLer in return. Second and fourth round picks don't usually amount to much, and it takes a lot of luck and patience. Bolland is a player who will immediately fit on the Leafs roster, signed at $3.375M for the next year before going to UFA.
Bolland was an excellent defensive defenceman for the Blackhawks until this season, when a really rough year forced him onto Chicago's fourth line. That said, he's a centreman who generally kept the Blackhawks above water on the third line while Joel Quenneville gave heavy offensive zone starts to stars like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Defensively, he's a player. Offensively, he's limited.
Think David Steckel, with a little more offence. It's not like Bolland is a total slouch. He scored 19 goals in 2012 and 15 in 2011. By looking at offence relative to situation, Bolland is certainly better than Tyler Bozak. He did better in defensive minutes for the Blackhawks than Bozak managed in offensive ones. For this reason, it's easy to get on board with the deal, even if expectations for Bolland are limited.
We'll have more later this summer, just as a way to see how Bolland fits into the team. Immediately, he's a much, much better third line centreman option than Mikhail Grabovski or Nazem Kadri. Either of those should be bumped onto the Leafs first line to play alongside Phil Kessel. As a third liner, Bolland is a steady checker with offensive punch that fits well into Randy Carlyle's zone-matching system. He will take a lot of defensive zone draws, so I don't see him as the first line centreman option that Dave Nonis talked about getting, but if it moves Kadri and Grabovski up the depth chart, Toronto won't need that 1C any more.
The other good thing is that it essentially means Tyler Bozak is out. Bolland will be cheaper and provides more goals and points per 60 minutes. While Bob MacKenzie was saying that Bolland isn't a 1st liner and Bozak is... well, Bolland is closer to fitting the bill. But he slots in better as a third liner.
Actually, writing about it more, the more I like the deal. Bolland was a guy who was instrumental for the Blackhawks in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and fell off a cliff this season. I'm not going to judge a player based on 48 games, but he's better than Bozak, better than Steckel, and fills a positional need for the Leafs without giving up much value.
Hate this trade. A lot.
June 30 2013, 05:35PM
I like this deal.
Like Cam mentioned in the article, the best part about it is that it gives RC a centerman to use in defensive situations that is actually suited to that role. This frees Grabo can go out there next year and light it up (relatively speaking) when put back in an offensive role.
Team results aside, it's going to feel good when people have to admit that maybe the way a coach uses a player impacts their production.
So what are the chances that Nonis signs Lecalvalier and flips Grabo?

A closed-back Audeze? Yes!
And, yes, it's a planar magnetic design.
Earlier tonight, I got a chance to listen to one of Audeze's closed back prototypes. Actually, these prototypes are more of a "proof of concept" at this point. As these are still in the "proof of concept" stage, only a few exist. If they do become a reality, look for a release mid next year (2013).
This headphone is a fully closed design. How does it sound? Exquisite. Surprisingly open, airy. In my initial listening session, it did not sound closed-in, the soundstage impressive.
And later today, anyone at RMAF can hear it for himself. Seriously, go hear it. Seriously.
Without a doubt, this one moves into one of the top spots on my wish list.
Nice! If they sound like the LCD-2/LCD-3, they will be winners! Quick question Jude, how did they isolate?

The Rock Christian Academy in Castle Rock has bagged Phil and Willie Robertson, two of the stars of the wildly popular "Duck Dynasty," A&E's reality series, for a speaking engagement and fundraiser beginning at 6:30 p.m. May 19 at The Douglas County Events Center.
Event organizer and Rock Christian Academy parent Michael Brumbaugh took dead aim at the Robertson clan months ago by contacting the family's agent and refusing to give up. His persistence paid off.
Phil and Willie, part of the family that made its fortune in products for duck hunters, will speak about "Faith, testimony, business, the importance of raising children with biblical principles and a Christian education."
"We need to do a big event every year to continue to fund the scholarship fund," Brumbaugh said. "I thought about it for a couple of months, then started watching `Duck Dynasty.' I thought, `These guys are great! I wonder if they do speaking engagements since they come from a Christian family?'"
The persistent parent hounded the agent until he got a "confirmed" answer. "When your heart is in something and you believe in something as strong as the Rock Academy, and how God is moving in that school, you fight for what you believe in," he said. "This year God blessed us with `Duck Dynasty.'"
With 8.6 million viewers, A&E's "Duck Dynasty" is the highest-rated reality show on cable TV. The money raised from the event's ticket sales will help fund a 10,000-square-foot expansion of the existing building, build the school's playground and provide financial aid and scholarships to families who can't afford the $4,700 annual tuition.
VIP tickets (with a pre-event meet and greet) are $150; other tickets are $60 for general admission to $80 for "gold seating" right behind the VIP seats.
Elway's concerts scheduled
The hottest patio of the season is Elway's at Cherry Creek — no doubt, no argument.
Elway's Cherry Creek summer concerts return with live music, cocktails, the signature menu and beautiful Colorado evenings in the Elways' backyard starting June 19.
These wildly popular outdoor concerts play each Wednesday night from mid-June through late August, including the return of the Railbenders to the Summer Music Series and a special Independence Day July 3 celebration for 2013 featuring local legends The Samples along with special food and cocktails.
Appearing this year are several tribute bands including Message in a Bottle, covering The Police; Forever in Blue Jeans, channeling Neil Diamond standards; and Under a Blood Red Sky, who rock out U2 hits.
The brotherly harmonies of Something Underground take stage on July 10. And newcomers, Justin Lane Band, will bring hard-hitting country to the backyard while all-girl band The Trishas deal a combination of tight four-part harmonies in an eclectic soulful sound.
Fans of funk will enjoy Funkiphino, and That Eighties Band promises their namesake rock.
Elway's backyard opens at 5 p.m., bands play from 6:30 to 9 p.m. For more information, go to www.elways.com or call 303-399-5353.

Countdown to Father's Day 2008 (T-10): Top TV DadsThursday, June 5th, 2008
As we countdown to Father's Day (T-10 days) – here's our continuing look at some of TV's favorite fathers: From the 1950s cardigan-wearing, "Father Knows Best" types to the 21st century guys juggling dysfunctional families and questionable careers.
TV's Top Dads (in chronological order)
Andy Taylor (1960's)
Andy Taylor (played by Andy Griffith) was one of TV's first single dads on The Andy Griffith Show (1960-1968). The down-home sheriff for the town of Mayberry, North Carolina, Andy set about raising his son Opie with a bit of hokey humor and a heaping of soliloquy-style discipline – and the help of the ever-present Aunt Bee.

Community volunteers are needed to help provide feedback students in the Manteca Unified be.tech program.
MOLDESTO - The Modesto Junior College African American Education Conference will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Mary Stuart Rogers Student Learning Center on West Campus, 2201 Blue Gum Avenue, Modesto.
House Ripon High School is hosting its first Open House on Thursday, Jan. 28, with the community of Ripon invited as well as parents.
Manteca Unified School District is one of 425 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 6th Annual AP District Honor Roll for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - With an explosion in growth in the craft beer industry over the last decade, it's not enough to simply have a passion for brewing and beer when it comes to starting a brewery or working for one as the industry gets more competitive.
The Ripon Unified school board accepted several resignations of two prominent positions at the Dec. 14 meeting.
Are problems with tablets preventing students from succeeding in the classroom?
Adults take Zumba classes at the East Union High dance room in the evening.
The use of a classroom for a 4-H club meeting for two hours after school costs $1.72.
Manteca Unified is not a kindergarten through 12th grade school district.
The approach of December with a calendar packed with religious holidays - Christianity's Christmas, Judaism's Hanukkah, Islam's Mawlid Un Nabi, Advent Fast, Buddhism's Rohastum and Zoroastrianism's Zarathost Diso - means a time to educate for the Manteca Unified School District.
The Ripon Unified School District held its annual Spelling Bee Tuesday night in two grade level divisions qualifying eight students to the county-wide contest Dec. 8 at the San Joaquin County Office of Education in Stockton.
The annual District Spelling Bee will be held Thursday, Nov. 12, in the Manteca High School Mulvihill Theatre Building.

I was totally shocked to see this morning that my daughter could not get her lunch in her school bag because of all her books and textbooks. No, she is not in High School but only in Grade 6. She was forced to get and extra bag to take her books in.
I asked her why does she have all your books everyday and she said she needs it for homework.
I am shocked to think that there is no management from the teachers that offers the various subjects. She has homework everyday from almost all her subjects. She only finishes her homework between 5-6pm.
Don't get me wrong I am all for hard work and dedication, but this seems more like a lot of pressure from the teachers and the expectations is not managed accordingly.
My son is in high school and his school bag is lighter and his homework load is less. I asked him why is he so relaxed and always done before her. He said "Mom look at my homework roster" Yes! My son has a homework roster where each teacher is assigned on a specific day of the week to give homework so that they do not clash or overwhelm the children.
There is enough peer pressure the children have to deal with, LIke coping witht he new curriculum and the standard of work that is expected from them. I do hope my letter to the Grade 6 Teachers finds some form of understanding and better management.
School should be about the enjoyment of learning and the enjoyment of everyday of the week being shared with your friends. You take away the joy, you take away there passion to learn.

Thank you so much for all your positive feedback and informative responses. For now we settled on a locker until the ipad comes into play. The teachesr was very understanding. I think there must of been other parents concerns involved.
There is an easy solution - buy your daughter an iPad and download her books.
Will save you a fortune in the end.
Many, many schools are adopting this strategy.
Brownyn, go and look up the learning outcome for all the subjects on your daughters grade and it might explain the volumes of homework she is expected to do.
Chat to the other parents in the grade, it everyone gets together the school and relevant teachers have to change the way in which they do things.
From attending functions at my granddaughters' schools I notice that there is an enormous difference in size, height and build within one grade - I'm sure partly because children grow so fast and the difference from a birthday in January to a birthday in December is enormous. On top of that there is the genetic predisposition of whether they are large build or small. So something easily carried by a well developed child surely is an enormous strain for the smaller ones. Some kind of benchmark of what is the maximum per grade might be useful.
Just another thing for the Minister of Basic Education to worry about. She must think she can't win. All the text books arrive - and now they're too heavy!
This is so true. Is there any ruling on how much I child must carry to and from school?
