FlamesNation chats with Matthew DeBlouw
Ryan Pike
July 23 2012 09:27AM
With their final pick in the 2012 Entry Draft, the Flames chose forward Matthew Deblouw of the USHL's Muskegon Lumberjacks. A two-way center, Deblouw is committed to join Michigan State University in the fall, following in the footsteps of NHLers Duncan Keith, David Booth and former Flame Jason Muzzatti.
Deblouw spoke with FlamesNation's Ryan Pike during development camp this week.
Ryan Pike: What's your life been like since the draft?
Matt Deblouw: It's been pretty exciting. It's a cool experience going through it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity being here and stuff like that, so I'm pretty proud. It's pretty cool playing with some of the pros and it's a good experience, seeing where I'm at.
RP: Did you expect to go where you did in the draft?
MD: Everyone expects to go higher, but I'm thankfully that I did get drafted, and to a great organization like Calgary. I'm just thankful I got drafted.
RP: What excites you most about the Flames organization?
MD: Probably that it's a Canadian team. Canadian people love hockey more than the States, so it's a cool experience just being with a team that I don't know much about, to be honest. I'm from Detroit, so I'm a Red Wings fan, but it's cool knowing that people here are so passionate for their sports team.
RP: Well, you're probably used to passionate fans, being from an Original Six city.
MD: It's pretty cool. And being with a Canadian team, I can't express it enough, the fans are so supportive. It's pretty cool.
RP: How are you preparing for joining Michigan State next season?
MD: There's a couple of guys, like Kelly Miller, our assistant coach, he prepped me for this experience and everything, but we were up there this week with the whole team, so some of the older guys prepped me for it to, so it's good.
RP: What kind of advice have you gotten about jumping from the USHL to the NCAA from guys here who have played in both leagues?
MD: They just say 'just relax.' Johnny Gaudreau, prime example, is one of the best players that I've ever watched or played against, so it's a good experience watching him just be so calm with the puck. It's his second year here but he acting like he's a pro, too. It's good to just watch him and you find a few tips on your own.
RP: There are a bunch of guys here, like Laurent Brossoit and Michael Ferland, who are late round draft picks who have turned out well so far. Does that give you a bit of confidence that you can succeed in hockey?
MD: It doesn't matter where you're picked. Everyone has a clean slate and maybe some people have more opportunities, but we're all here now and we get to prove ourselves and that's very beneficial on my part.
July 23 2012, 01:02PM
Hahaha Erixon traded to blue jackets lol. Sweet, sweet justice!
Gaudreau is getting rave reviews from everyone! So either he really is that talented or he's secretly giving all the prospects $20 to say good things about him...
July 23 2012, 11:33AM
Most exciting things about this upcoming season for me:
Baertschi as a rookie and Gaudreau's sophomore season in college.
@Kent Wilson
It's too bad SVEN's rookie season won't start till December most likely.
"MD: It doesn't matter where you're picked. Everyone has a clean slate and maybe some people have more opportunities, but we're all here now and we get to prove ourselves and that's very beneficial on my part."
Love this mentality for any prospect.

After reading the previous chapters you will find out that Kumogakure ( Village Hidden in the Clouds) is to play an important role in the near future, thus a question surely follows:
What are the political relations between Kumogakure and Konohagakure gonna be like?
The Raikage is obviously not quite pleased that an ex-Konoha shinobi "captured" his brother.
Plus, there have been some minor conflicts/issues in the past like the Hyuuga incident...
And if the messengers arrive in time for Pains party and get killed, that would just worsen ther relations. If not that, Danzou could very well use them in someway or another since he is also becoming a very important figure in the manga.
Also taking in consideration that there have already been two great shinobi wars and that the atmosphere is still quite negative amongst them, could a third great war follow after Raikage finds out that Konoha has been greatly weakened, AGAIN? He attacks Konoha, Sunagakure helps Konoha and the other countries just won't sit around idly and watch(most probably).
So, I would like to hear/read your views on this matter. What do YOU think is gonna happen?

78 years ago, they only needed six All-Star pitchersJuly 12th, 2011, 9:11 am by Earl Bloom, staff writer
Tonight, it will take 70 players, including a more than a dozen substitutes for original selections, to put on the 2011 major-league All-Star game.
I'm not complaining about that, but just imagine an All-Star Game with 18-man rosters, with only three pitchers working for each side?
That was the case in the first All-Star Game, played on July 6, 1933, in Chicago's Comiskey Park. There were only 16 major-league teams then, so the rosters were smaller than today, when there are 16 teams in one league.
The All-Star rosters were chosen by the managers (Connie Mack for the AL, John McGraw for the NL) and the fans.Read the rest of this entry »

Umbro Whiteout Collection: a closer look at our stylish new colourways by Aaron› 3 May 2013
We introduced our new Whiteout colourways earlier this week, but today we thought you might want to take a closer look at the boots. Here's some more pictures of the Speciali 4 boots that will be seen on pitch from this weekend.
Speaking about wearing the boots for the first time this weekend, West Ham striker Andy Carroll told us, 'The new white Specialis look great without being too flashy and they're really comfortable so feel great on my feet. I'm looking forward to wearing them for the first time this weekend against my old club Newcastle. They'll be looking to bounce back from the last game so I'm sure it will be a tough match.'
Andy has found the back of the net a few times for his adopted club recently, and he admitted, 'I've been really happy with my form in the last few weeks. I've been working hard and it's nice to see that pay off with a few goals – especially the right foot volley against West Brom!' Lets hope that the Whiteout boots help Andy to continue his goalscoring form for the remaining games this season.

If, like me, you missed Philip Elmer-DeWitt's excellent piece at Fortune earlier this week about the swift rise and fall of a self-made investment guru's small hedge fund focused on Apple (AAPL), here's the link. This is the best vignette I've read about the iPad maker's selloff.
From Elmer-DeWitt:
In late 2011 he'd launched Bullish Cross Capital L.P. — basically an Apple-only hedge fund — with a handful of subscribers. By the spring of 2012, the fund's investor rolls had grown six fold. In a Form D filed in November 2012, Zaky reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission that Bullish Cross Asset Management (BCRAM) had attracted 28 limited partners with an average investment of $378,000. The minimum investment, which started at $250,000, had grown to $500,000 by March 2012.
It was in the hedge fund that the first signs of trouble appeared. An investor who spoke off the record because he is bound by a nondisclosure agreement, describes how the fund missed both of Apple's big 2012 rallies — in April when it hit $644 and in September when it hit $705. Zaky lost nearly nearly 50% of the fund's capital in one month (March) by buying bearish put spreads just before the stock rose 10%. The fund also managed to get crushed when the stock went down. In May, when the stock fell nearly 100 points, Zaky had bet heavily on bullish calls spreads.

Nice color combos!
"I ordered this shoe in the red/coral/khaki combo and they are super cute. Unfortunately for me, they're also super tall. I was hoping that the platform in the toes would help alleviate some of the effects of the height, but they are just too tall for me. Also, I'm an 8.5 so I ordered up to a 9 but they were too big for me. If you're an 8.5 I'd recommend sizing down to an 8. Still cute and great for anyone who is ok with wearing this high of a heel for hours!"

In September 1918, the 3rd and 5th Australian Light Horse Brigades were closing in on Damascus, and on the evening of 30 September they subjected the enemy to merciless fire at Barada Gorge. It was the principal exit from Damascus, leading into Lebanon and Beirut. The Australians fired until the road was littered with the bodies of men and animals and the wreckage of transport wagons. Lambert depicted the winding gorge and the road and railway route north-west towards the eastern Lebanon mountains. He showed Light Horse soldiers gathering on the ridge high above the gorge, while below, hundreds of fleeing Turkish troops and transports attempt to escape from Damascus.
Lambert began this work in England and completed it in Sydney, basing it on three views of the landscape he had made on the spot when he visited the site in June 1919. He used the view looking away from Damascus for this composition; trebling the size of the scene, but otherwise maintaining the composition. He added fourteen Light Horsemen on top of the cliff, preparing their rifles and aiming fire, as well as a mass of scurrying figures in the valley below. The inscribed date of 1918 refers to the date of the event, not the date of execution, as Lambert did not visit the area until 1919.
In 1926, when Lambert saw Septimus Power's painting of Light Horsemen riding into Damascus, he wrote to the official war historian, C.E.W. Bean, criticising Power's work and offering in its place this composition. The Australian War Memorial purchased it in 1927 for £100, the last battle picture by Lambert that they acquired.
The Sydney Morning Herald 's critic wrote on 26 November 1930: 'How immense in its scale is "The Barada Gorge," ... a landscape truly imposing in its perspective and depth, seen from a great height with the figures of soldiers so justly proportioned on the left hillside and the far road below'.

Content marketing is hot, you cannot read up on marketing without seeing articles, blog posts, and announcements for conferences about the topic. And it should — because it does work.
The term itself, however, is misleading — and will increasingly lead to marketers producing and promoting the wrong content.
When content marketing works, it's all about delivering the right value to the right person at the right time. At the center of the formula for success is not content, but customer value. If you put content at the center, everyone will focus on developing thought leadership content. As the different social channels get clogged up with thought leadership content, marketers will increasingly start paying to promote that content — and it will all end up like advertising again — not delivering value to the prospect.
When you put customer value at the center of your thinking however, you may come up with different answers. Take an OEM for application development tools as an example. With content at the center of your thinking, you might develop a plan to create thought leadership content that would appeal to VPs of engineering of applications development companies — the ultimate decision maker in buying your tools. If you put value at the center of your thinking, you might realize that the VPs are not the ones doing the due diligence on the available choices. They will often times task an engineer or a group of engineers to do the research and make buying recommendations. Those engineers are very query driven and extremely reciprocal — helping one another across company boundaries. So if an engineer is tasked to find an XML database for example, she may take to her twitter community and ask for help in finding the best in class product. You could hire a few application development engineers to look for those opportunities and genuinely engage and help those people. If customer value is at the center of their thinking frame, it could well be that in 80% of the cases they would recommend content that does not even come from your company — but instead from magazines or communities in the space, and if you are really bold, even from your competitors. And yet it could result in becoming your best lead gen program — trust me, it actually happened.
Having the wrong thinking frame can be dangerous and limiting. If LinkedIn were to consider its customers as and integral part of their product — they would make radically different decisions that if they would think of us as customers. If you are a SaaS app provider and you evaluate a multi-million dollar investment to speed up your app by a fraction of a second in terms of time or money savings, you would make a very different investment decision than if you were to evaluate the investment in terms of the customer experience. Looking at it through that lens could let you conclude that speeding up the app by a fraction of a second would actually significantly improve the perceived ease of use of your app — making the investment worthwhile. Company leaders have to develop customer-centric cultures, where the customer value and the customer experience are the central frames through which any decision is being made.
Note that the framing effect is actually a well known human cognitive bias.
Being truly customer-centric is hard to do, and we found that in many companies there is a huge dichotomy between leaders' intent and their execution when it comes to customer-centricity. More on that later.

"NRA is the new KKK"
OMG these people are clueless!
Hiya my
Not listening to the broadcast tonight (got Christmas music playing in the background), but I agree. People who think that way are totally clueless.
They're all nuts. The NRA was Otis McDonald's biggest supporter.
She'll love that.
They love sweet talk
Howdy Dave
I'm not in the full blown Christmas spirit yet, but I try to live it every day.
Good on Tom for calling O'Rielly out
Hi! Thank you for the ping.
We have ten 50-rd mags for the PS90, but they've been banned, so we have to buy 30-rd ones. Sigh...
We have one 20 and one 30-rd for the FiveseveN as well.
We also have some 5.7 ammo on order, but it's made out of 100% unobtainium right now. Good thing we're stocked up.
Howdy & Good Evening, ml!
That 10/22 looks pretty sweet.
The 2nd adamant is hanging by a thread
The break down 10/22?
Put my new slug gun to use during Shotgun 1 here in Iowa.
One shot ... One kill
(I was thinking about .50 while I was out in the woods. Wonder if he got his deer this year..)
Pastors down here are armed.
They tell me that glocks are water proof because they have them at baptismal's
The big concern seems to be keeping it concealed what with all the hugging and stuff going on.
Yep, the "special" that was mentioned. Pics are up, even though it's not available yet.
Yes, when something gets banned, the price always goes up. I guess we'll tuck them away for the time being.
Good job.
I was just offered venison for the chili I am making tonight for the chili cook off.
I turned it down for some really nice chuck steak just because some folks dont like bambi
But I could make a serious Bambi Burgounon
Yom Yom
We all have the potential to make a good buck off of Obama
I think AR15 mags were $100 a pop when Clinon ran his gun ban
Consider the Henry lever action .22
Toms right on here.
Just polish the thing out with hoppes #9 and a brass brush that is one caliber larger.
Welp this chili is starting to take shape
I'm still working on chopping up and browning this chuck steak
The 'maters are in and the onions and chiles come next.
Lots of chilis
Pasillos, Serrano's, Anchos, Chipotles, Chile Pequins
Does it make your scalp sweat?
Dang, that's gonna be one spicy batch. It sounds good too. Getting cold tonight.
This caller John, is a jackass.
Its a rule
There should always be a bit of brow sweat.
Not to hot, but there should always be some brow sweat.
You should not hear what I said to the live stream of John, the total [unladylike word] idiot. What a lying sack of [unladylike word]. He was no 2nd Amendment supporter.
I make some pretty mean chili.
AND I stick to Texas rules.
Actually its like a Texas Guisado
Nope he is a loser panty waist second guesser.
Hi there Frog.
We all know not to escalate a situation.
The Employe did not escalate the situation.
He controlled the situation.
Here's Devon.
It''s easy enough to pop that 30-rounder open and remove the spacer block. Don't have to switch the spring or anything. Sound familiar?
So what, are they going back to the AWB period practice of marking normal-capacity magazines for military and law enforcement use only?
Devon needs to stay quiet, even though I think he was justified.
You know Obama is going to try to ban high caps.
Devon sounds kinda like a goof ball but even goofballs have rights and honor.
The Boys and Skins both had pretty exciting games today. Now we're tied :-O

Now that the dust has settled in the south, Planet Rugby thought it only right to laud the star players of Super Rugby, Round 10.
Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it only right to laud the star players of Super Rugby, Round 10.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
15 Jesse Mogg (Brumbies): The rugby league convert caught the eye in his side's draw with the Reds, gaining 72 metres on attack, with eight defenders beaten in the process. His booming boot also helped to get his side out of trouble on a couple of occasion when they were defending their line. Just edges out Waratahs full-back Israel Folau who is improving with every outing and scored a memorable try in his side's win over the Chiefs.
14 Rod Davies (Reds): His electrifying pace proved a handful for the Brumbies and the "Rocket" sealed a good attacking display by scoring his side's second try against the Brumbies.
13 Adam Ashley-Cooper (Waratahs): Gave the Chiefs' defenders nightmares with several devastating attacking runs in the Sydneysiders' victory. Made a telling break which led to Cam Crawford's try and also stood out on defence with 12 tackles made.
12 Jan Serfontein (Bulls): The 20-year-old played with maturity beyond his years in his side's demolition of the Kings. Solid on defence with 11 tackles but it was on attack where he made his mark with 42 metres won and was rewarded with a try after fine support play. Sees off the challenge of Reds midfielder Ben Tapuai who did well against the Brumbies.
11 Willie le Roux (Cheetahs): Another polished display from the Cheetahs flyer, who, despite playing on the wing, was at the heart of most of the Cheetahs' attacks in the win over the Sharks. Won 61 metres on attack and scored the match-winning try in a close encounter. Keeps out Reds speedster Digby Ioane who was dangerous with ball in hand against the Brumbies.
10 Morne Steyn (Bulls): Was his normal steady self and directed operations well in his side's win over the Kings. His kicking – tactically and at goal – was superb and he also managed to get his dangerous outside backs firing.
9 Alby Mathewson (Western Force): Despite finishing on the losing side, Mathewson played brilliantly against his former team. Scored a fantastic individual try and almost managed to engineer a surprise win for the visitors.
8 Jake Schatz (Reds): Led the Reds' defensive effort against the Brumbies with 16 tackles but also put in a big effort in the line-out where he won five balls. Highlanders rookie TJ Ioane also deserves a mention after a superb allround display against the Crusaders that included 17 hits.
7 Heinrich Brussow (Cheetahs): Was the best tackling openside flanker of the weekend with 15 hits made. Managed to frustrate the Sharks by holding up several of their players in the tackle which won his side crucial turnovers, especially when they were under the cosh for large periods during the second half. Brumbies legend George Smith and Reds tearaway Liam Gill also deserve a mention after an epic duel in Brisbane.
6 Brad Shields (Hurricanes): Is highly-rated in New Zealand and it showed in the Hurricanes' win over the Western Force. Thrives on the physical aspect of the game and made a big impact, with a try, four line-outs won and 13 tackles made.
5 Sam Whitelock (Crusaders): Another big performance from the All Black, with a handful of clean line-out wins and a solid defensive effort, including 10 tackles made.
4 Luke Romano (Crusaders): Went head-to-head with his Crusaders predecessor, All Blacks legend Brad Thorn, in the win over the Highlanders and got the better of the old warhorse. Impressed as his side's enforcer and also won his fair share of line-out balls.
3 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen (Hurricanes): Capped a fine all-round performance with a try in the 'Canes' victory over the Force. Scrummed well and was the 'Canes' best defender with 18 tackles.
2 Chiliboy Ralepelle (Bulls): Put in a magnificent performance against the Kings and was always in the thick of the action. Gained 58 metres with several barnstorming runs and also did his bit on defence with seven tackles made.
1 Coenie Oosthuizen (Cheetahs): Returned to the Cheetahs run-on side and played like he had a point to prove. Did his basics well, but also shone with ball in hand, gaining 32 metres, and made five hits on defence. Despite playing in the front-row, he is like an extra back-rower as he competes with great intensity at the breakdowns.

County moves closer to finalizing water rate changes
June 25, 2014
Some monthly water bills could rise more than 50 percent under new rates Douglas County is looking to finalize for three Lake Tahoe water systems.
Zephyr Water Utility District, Cave Rock/Uppaway and Skyland are the water systems facing a series of rate changes during the next five years.
Under new direction from commissioners Thursday, the proposed monthly rates for a typical residential customer in 2015 would be $126.77 in ZWUD, $90.58 in Skyland and $162.48 in Cave Rock/Uppaway.
Current monthly rates are $79.95 in ZWUD, $114.23 in Skyland and $202.46 in Cave Rock/Uppaway.
The new rates are the result of consolidating operations and maintenance expenses among the three systems, but keeping each system's existing debt separate.
"Being able to have the consolidation of O and M allows us to get an economy of scale," Commissioner Nancy McDermid said. "That helps. Secondly, we can go for grant funding and things by showing larger numbers of users."
Commissioners met Thursday to give staff new direction in the process, after having discussed the consolidation of the three Tahoe water systems and changes to monthly rates several times already this year.
ZWUD customers — whose monthly bills could rise more than 50 percent in 2015 — again spoke in opposition of consolidating expenses with the other water systems, saying that taking on another system's higher financial commitments, specifically Cave Rock's, is inequitable.
"The decision to pool these costs, to charge everyone the same rate, clearly represents unwarranted preferential treatment for the Cave Rock users at significant additional expense to the other two districts," ZWUD customer Dick Barnard said. "I'm unable to find any compelling reason to implement such a rate shift."
Monthly water bills for Cave Rock/Uppaway and Skyland would be significantly lower as a result of consolidating operations and maintenance expenses among the three systems.
Commissioner Barry Penzel said there is no simple solution.
"I've heard that both here and the valley that there's going to be a certain portion of residents that it's unfair to," he said, "and I wish that wasn't the case."
Before the new rates are set, the county needs to give public notice of the proposed changes. They will then come back to the board for a vote in two or three months.

The Sah family of Green River, Ken, Sarita, and Kunal were deported in July back to India. Ken came to America 16 years ago as a student and stayed to work and build a life. He sent for his wife Sarita and together they worked very hard to save enough money to put down on a motel in Green River.
They operated this motel for many years and eventually built a new motel, the Ramada Limited. Their son Kunal was born in California, and has gone to school in Green River for the past nine years.
During their years in America the Sahs applied for a political asylum which was denied and the appeal process ran out in July and the immigration department ordered their departure.
Since that time, the family has been in India living with family. They don't have employment yet in India or housing. Kunal stayed with his family in India for 45 days, 40 of which he was sick and in and out of the hospital. Kunal returned to America on Aug. 20 to begin a new school year at Green River High School.
Kunal lost 30 pounds during his stay in India. The climate, food and general conditions led to intestinal problems for the 12 year old. Home again in Green River his uncle DC said, "Kunal is starting to gain some weight back again. He was so sick in India."
Alex Cabrero a reporter with KSL 5 news was in Green River on Sept. 14 to interview Kunal. Cabrero asked Kunal about his parents in India, "They are sick, they are not used to the environment. They are not working and are staying with family. I came back to get an education. My dad believes my educational opportunities are greater here than in India."
Cabrero questioned Kunal about the treatment of his family. Kunal said, "It is not fair, my father tried to do all the right things and people who do the wrong things get to stay." The family lawyer Steve Lawrence is still working on options for the family to bring the Sahs back to the United States. He is looking at VISAs of different types to find the best fit for the family. But, for now things remain at a stalemate. The parents in India and the son in Green River without the love and guidance of parents.
Kunal said things are hard for him and he cries often as he misses his parents. Cabrero told Kunal it looks like he is the man of the family in America trying to help take care of the businesses in his father's absence. Kunal said, "When I talk to my dad he is really sad." Cabrero asked Kunal what he hopes for. "I hope to see my parent's come home and walk through the door of the motel," said Kunal.
Cabrero asked Kunal how he spends his time. "I go to school every day and do my homework. I have been studying for the spelling bee. I talk to my parents on the phone every day, but the connections are not good."
Cabrero asked Kunal what it was like to go to the National Spelling Bee in Washington DC. Kunal said it was an amazing experience and he learned so much that helps him with his spelling preparations now. He is trying hard and working hard to get back to Washington next year. He studies every day in the dictionary and also word origin books.
DC Prasad is the uncle who Kunal is staying with and his wife Jody. DC has taken over the management of both motels in Ken's absence. He is feeling the pinch of managing both facilities. He said sleep is hard to come by as customers come into the motel at all hours to check in. But, DC's not complaining as the customers pay the bills. Sarita always said you can sleep in the winter, but in the summer in a motel in Green River; you don't get much sleep.
DC in his newfound role as a surrogate parent for his brother, worries about Kunal. "This is the first time Kunal has been separated from his family. He is missing his family. He is 12 years old. His heart is crying. He cries at night when we do not see. It is very hard for him. But, his education is important. We are hoping his parents can come back, but we don't know. Right now we just take one day at a time and the work won't stop.
Cabrero asked DC if he was mad at the situation. DC said no he isn't mad. He just doesn't know how they will solve all the problems. "When you live in a small town, you have to depend on yourself. One morning five people were supposed to show up to help clean rooms and only one showed up and me. We cleaned all 44 rooms because they were all rented out again that night. That was a terrible day," said DC. "But, no matter what time you get to bed you still have to be up by 5 a.m. to get the breakfast started."
The news spot on Kunal and the Sah family aired on Sept. 14. Cabrero hopes that by telling the Sah's story and keeping their story and plight alive that someone might be able to help and bring them out of their nightmare and back to America.

Dangers Of Oxidizing Oils
Posted by Reviewer2469206 on Jul 23, 2012
I'm no longer using mayonnaise or any oil in a bottle because vegetable oils are very sensitive to heat and oxygen, hence prone to oxidation. -- Vegetable oils are harmful to the body through very rapid lipid peroxidation and free radical damage. -- The human body produces its own Omega-9 fatty acid called Mead acid.

I wanted to buy some toasted sesame oil, but I live alone and would not be able to use the whole bottle before it went rancid. So I looked in my markets and couldn't find anything small. After checking at Amazon, I came to Iherb and was happy to find exactly what I was looking for and it was also priced reasonably.

LAS VEGAS — Everyone has a game plan, welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. likes to say. Saturday night, Robert Guerrero joined a growing list of busted blueprints and broken dreams.
Mayweather, an eight-time, five-division world champion during a remarkable 17-year pro career, preserved his unblemished record when he coasted to a unanimous 12-round decision at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
All three judges scored the fight 117-111 for Mayweather.
As his own promoter, Mayweather might even make a better matchmaker than he does a fighter. Guerrero was made to order for the champion's superior speed and ring savvy. Mayweather said he hurt his right hand during the fight.
Using effective lateral movement and explosive lead right hands, the 36-year-old champion and former Olympic bronze medalist dominated the bout against his outclassed opponent. Mayweather pot-shotted Guerrero at will as the challenger fruitlessly tried to box the champion from the outside when he wasn't using rough-house tactics on the inside.
Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) was making his 21st world title appearance.
"I feel bad I didn't get the knockout tonight," Mayweather said.
"No one has found a way to break the Mayweather code,'' the champion said in the weeks leading to his mandatory WBC title defense of the 147-pound crown.
The challenger, a 30-year-old native of Gilroy, Calif., nicknamed "The Ghost,'' had not lost a fight since 2005. Guerrero is 31-2-1.
"That's why he's the champion," Guerrero said. "He was barely slipping by the punches. Floyd's a great defensive fighter. I thought I was going to catch him."
The bout was Mayweather's first since May 2012 when he pounded out a 12-round decision against Miguel Cotto. In that fight, the champion was hit more than ever before in his 17-year career. It was also the first fight in a long time with his father, Floyd Sr., in his corner.
A month after defeating Cotto, Mayweather went to jail for two months, most of it in solitary confinement, for a domestic assault case.
Mayweather was paid a guaranteed $32 million for the fight with a potential upside that could reach upwards of $40 million depending upon ticket and pay-per-view TV sales.

Really comfortable
"I was hesitant at first to purchase this pair of shoes. They are not the typical looking boat shoe. I was looking for a pair to have for vacation this winter. But I decided to try them and I'm glad I did. I took the advice of others on review and went with a 1/2 size smaller than I wear in other brands. They are so comfortable on the bare feet."

The Blue
July 08 2010 07:43AM
A glance at the current Oilers depth chart tells us a lot about the future. Up front, this team is loaded with tremendous potential. The list of young forwards (Gagner, Cogliano, Brule with the big league team; Hall, MPS, Eberle, Omark, Hartikainen, Lander, Vande Velde) is long, deep and varied; I dare say the only time this team has enjoyed such a large list of potential quality forwards was 79-81 (although the mid-90's had a large and impressive group).
The goaltending has two young NHLers (JDD, DD) trying to establish themselves along with two prospects bubbling under (Olivier Roy might be very good; Tyler Bunz is the new hire).
The problem area is the Blue. Only Ladislav Smid (24) is young and established, and there is no "complete" talent among the prospects. This was brought into view on the Oilers one-hour pre-draft show (which I enjoyed, as a draft junkie) Oil Change. At one point Stu (Magnificent Bastard) MacGregor asks the room "do we have an Erik Gudbranson?" and the answer from the scouts is in the negative.
I think the Oilers have to be very aggressive in the next 12 months. They might end up using the 2011 lottery pick on a stud D prospect, they may end up dealing one of the high end veteran wingers (Hemsky & Penner) and they may try to sign some European and college free agents. Here is a quick list of the current AHL "bubbling under" group, the kids most likely to play this season if one of the current 6 (Whitney-Gilbert; Smid-Foster; Vandeermeer-Strudwick) suffers an injury.
- D Theo Peckham: Sometimes in life opportunity knocks and man I hope this kid answers the door. When healthy and fit, he's a strong, tough defender with a mean streak and a willingness to drop the gloves. Tom Renney has mentioned him as a player he's excited about seeing at training camp in the fall. Injury and conditioning issues have been a problem, but the Oilers badly need developing defenseman and he is the best of the group.
- D Alex Plante: Made big strides this season and is certainly part of the future. His pro debut was the most impressive in the entire system. Injuries and callups forced Plante up the depth chart and he played well, so well in fact the club rewarded him with a call to the show (4gp, +1) last season. He's in a position now to play well in Okla City and be one of the first callups when injuries occur. Alex Plante is not an NHL defenseman yet, but the light has turned on and he's trending well. Also important to consider: anecdotal evidence that Plante was playing against some of the tougher opposition in the AHL (as a rookie) last season. It's a strong tell.
- D Jeff Petry: His NHLE (82gp, 4-22-26) makes him (once again) the strongest offensive defenseman in the system and his wider range of skills gives us some hope for a more complete defender than someone like Chorney (Petry is 4 inches and 20 pounds bigger than Chorney). Impressed with skating and wingspan at this week's Oilers camp, he is the one player on this list with a wide range of skills.
- D Taylor Chorney: A fine skater who has some holes defensively. I think there is probably concern in the Oilers organization about this player. He was drafted right after the lockout, when NHL teams believed puck movers would rule the earth. He is not strong enough to win puck battles and is miles from being able to anchor a big league pairing. Of all the top level draft picks on defense, this player will probably benefit the most from the added AHL veteran group (Petiot, Taylor, etc) in Okla City.
- D Johan Motin: Motin made his pro debut and performed well. His numbers (he's not an offensive defender) are rock solid in the AHL (55gp, 1-5-6 -5 on a terrible team) and he would rank higher if there was any evidence he played against tough competition in the minors. I think he is the type of player who will improve over the next couple of seasons as he adjusts to the length of the season and the physical wear and tear. He is exactly the player-type this organization needs at this time, but something tells me he's a fair distance from Plante in terms of NHL readiness. It'll take some time.
History tells us that at least a couple of these players will not develop as hoped, due to injury and ineffectiveness. The top pro prospects at the AHL level 10 years ago were Chris Hajt and Alex Henry; neither developed as a big league regular (although the list above is far superior).
Defensemen take a long time to develop. They tend to be effective deeper into their 30's (once they establish themselves), so Oiler fans can take heart in the fact that Tom Gilbert and Ryan Whitney are signed long term. We should expect a high draft pick to be spent on a defenseman next summer and an aggressive attempt by the procurement department to uncover gems through free agency.

Kovalchuk wants to come to Edmonton. Souray on waivers had intrest from a few teams in the western and eastern confrence. The word of Kovalchuk got leaked to the other GM's, and they refused to pick Souray up, which would have given Oilers the cap space. I am told it was a 5 year 38 million deal, with a lot of Katz bonuses.
July 08 2010, 07:52PM
Screw Labron James!
What does Miami have that Edmonton doesn't?
Nice photo LT
Did Martin Marincin skate at the conditioning camp? If so, what is his story. They seem pretty high on him, I guess he will come here a couple times during the Dub season.
I wouldn't mind using our pick next summer to get our stud dman, but we also have some assets at forward that we might be able to get a dman from another organization that has soured. Colten Teubert or even Carl Alzner are examples.
Yeah, but a stud D prospect selected in the 2011 draft likely isn't playing impact minutes in the majors until 2015. Heck, Hall could be UFA shortly thereafter.
If we're overloaded with quality F, flip something for a quality, mid-twenties D. If Brewer and two maybes can get you CFP, I'd rather balance out the depth chart through trade and continue drafting BPA - particularly in the 1st round.
July 08 2010, 08:08AM
@the tikk
That's why I think you make a trade now or next year for a prospect with 2-3 years of development under his belt.
What does "NHLE" mean? It's in the blurb about Jeff Petry? Anyone?....
July 08 2010, 08:17AM
You have anything on this Moran character we signed?
@the tikk
I suppose it depends. The last couple of drafts the lottery pick dmen stepped right in & contributed pretty huge. Look at Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian, Victor Hedman.
Even some guys out of the top 10 picks have stepped in & made big contributions like Tyler Myers or Erik Karlsson in Ottawa.
NHL Equivalency. Take junior or Euro stats and translate them into NHL numbers. (That is a rough answer. LT or JW could probably be more accurate or descriptive. I believe it is a Gabe Desjardins stat.)
I agree with tikk, that when this team is ready to challenge for a playoff spot (as early as 11/12?), you sell from your position of strength to shore up the defence.
Since Dmen take so long to become NHL ready (one wag says they develop by sundial), it makes the most sense to use your highest draft picks for offensive forwards.
Offensive forwards become NHL ready quicker, and are always in high demand. They are also the most expensive item to procure when not drafted, whether its through trade or FA signing.
Therefore it makes sense to try to load up on the expensive commodity when they are the cheapest (draft) and sell later to get what you need (NHL ready Dmen)
However, if you have a chance to draft a "Franchise Dman" (Pronger, Neidermayer, Doughty, possibly Larsson etc), you do it with a high pick as "Franchise Dmen" are more rare than scoring forwards, and are as impossible to acquire outside the draft as high scoring Centers.
Don't forget Foster. He's just over a year older than Gilbert and Whitney, and has lost a year due to the gruesome femur injury. I think he'll be a keeper as well for the next 5 or so years. As mentioned, Plante seems to be coming along well and Petry is a couple years removed. We don't have the gamebreaker, but I wouldn't call our group exactly weak either. In saying that, the top end D are few and far between. Much like a first line center, you're most likely going to have to draft one as teams aren't really willing to give them up in a trade.
July 08 2010, 08:26AM
I wonder if there is anyone out in Europe that the Oilers can sign to help their depth on d? Why not go the Burke route and instead of signing NCAA players, go after a bunch of Euros? Maybe you get lucky like they did with Bozak?
First off.. how dare you... it takes brass balls to post that pic ;)
Secondly, I've been one crying for an all around defenseman for quite some time (basically since Pronger left). At the very least, I'd like to see a shutdown d-man here, but I could definitely handle seeing an all around d-man of the Doughty, Pietrangelo, etc. mold.
I can't see the Oilers having a catastrophic meltdown this season again, but perhaps it would be wise to stock up on a couple more first rounders well ahead of schedule and hope that by sheer luck we land a pick that falls within the top 3. The next, next-Lidstrom awaits in that draft (Adam Larsson).
But I definitely would be fine to see Hemsky and our pick moved and perhaps a bit more sweetening to land an already drafted d-prospect. That route will definitely be difficult though.
Anyways, I've seen Jeff Petry play a little bit this year (thank you Big10 channel) and he looked pretty solid at both ends. Only thing that was a concern was that in college hockey there didn't seem to be any fear of roaming freely in your defensive zone. His positional play was a bit worrisome, but it worked at that level. Hopefully he can make the adjustment to the NHL though where you'd eventually get burned if you attempted such stunts. One thing I did love about him though is that he was nearly consistently leading the rush (and I mean lead - Paul Coffey-style, although I wouldn't dare compare him to Coffey). He's also a big kid who likes to be physical around the net.
So as it stands, right now he's our most complete D prospect, IMHO. But I definitely would love to see a home-run D prospect in our system too.
July 08 2010, 08:38AM
This might be a dumb question, but are there any other teams that are overloaded with D prospects and don't have a lot of forward prospects? Vancouver has a ton of defense signed right now...what does this AHL system hold? Didn't i read somewhere that they were looking for a dynamic winger? Could a match be made anywhere? Perhaps that is just too easy.
I think it'd be fun to caption the Pronger photo. Something like:
"Lauren? Where are you going? Are you coming back? Who's going to cook supper? Honey????"
A few words about our next D target. Paul Postma!!! http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=82963 his family is from here and i work with his aunty. She talks about him all the time and from what i've seen this kids is going to be a very good one. Plus he and Plante played Jr. together. Get it done Oilers!!!
@I'm a Scientist!
Van has no D in system. Their stud Dman died in a motorcycle accident. I like Carl Alzner, a top 5 pick & passed by John Carlsson in Washington.
LA has got a couple of young Canadian Dmen, Thomas Hickey & Colten Teubert. With Scuderri locked up for a while, Johnson & Doughty it might be tough for both of them to crack the team. Hickey is more of a playmaker like Doughty while Teubert would be like a Matt Greene. We need another Matt Greene type, especilly if Peckham doesn't become that guy.
July 08 2010, 08:58AM
I think Peckham can become Matt Greene. It's just a matter of when. Smid is there too, and I wonder if Vandermeer can fill that void for now?
July 08 2010, 09:06AM
Hmmm, good to know. Thank you for letting me know!
I believe Steve Yzerman is on record saying that Tampa Bay has too many D-Men...
July 08 2010, 09:11AM
I really liked Plante when he played here. He stuck to a simple game that translated well to the NHL. I hope he continues to trend up.
It's easy to blue-sky when talking about our promising young forwards as we oiler fans are prone to do. So good post to highlight the chasm in talent on our blue. As it stands, we will start the season with 3 real NHL defenseman (4 if you include the dutchman), none of whom would be considered in the top pairing on any other NHL team. The prospects look promising, but they are just that...prospects. Half of those listed will probably become NHL players (I'm going with the three P's Plante, Peckham, Petry) as long as they can stay healthy. Hopefully one will surprise as a top-pairing defenseman, but I doubt it. They are tracking as average, bottom 4 defenseman, and those are our BEST prospects.
This must be forefront on management's radar. Lowe has always put high value on quality blue, so I doubt he needs to be told how weak his blue is. God help our goaltenders next year, it's going to be ugly. 40 shots against per game with 12-15 high quality scoring chances (breakaways, 2on1's, point blank shots from the slot uncontested and the like).....is that too much?
LT, the contrast from the photo to your post is striking. Thinking about what depressing shape the blue is in makes me appreciate an elite defenseman like Pronger. His tenure was short, but he was a helluva an Oiler for that year.
July 08 2010, 09:19AM
Kinda happens when your team signs 3 33 year olds in the last 2 free agencies.
Ty Wishart seems intriguing.
He has the size, mobility and the hockey sense to be a dominant defenseman, and is regularly matched against some of the opponents' top players. In addition to his strength as a defenseman, he has a powerful shot and strong offensive capability.
Lashoff is another, but he has to be getting close to making the NHL or he will be a bust. Another choice would be Vladimir Mihalik who is Chara like in size and is either bust or going to be a helluva player.
July 08 2010, 09:25AM
I really like the look of Teubert, I think he's bigger and more skilled than Matt Greene, and seems to have developed a mean streak from a very young age. The problem I've heard with him is his attitude, that he's an overly cocky guy and bad for the locker room. Still, I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him. Sometimes a change of scenery can help clear up those sort of problems.
July 08 2010, 09:37AM
I really liked Plante when he played here. He stuck to a simple game that translated well to the NHL. I hope he continues to trend up.
I saw Plante live, sitting behind the net for the Philly game in February. He was impressive. Good positionally, physical, rode his man out to the boards, etc.
I was worried the first couple years after he got drafted, but I'm no longer worried. He'll be good.
Meh, who needs a great defense.
The Oilers will start winning games 6-5 every night like the boys on the bus did :-)
July 08 2010, 09:43AM

We're short a Paul Coffey for that...
edit: This gave me a horrible flashback to the misguided optimism heading into the 06-07 season: "Hemsky, Horcoff, Penner, Sykora and Lupul! We're going to win every game 6-5!!" Oh god... if we'd only known.
July 08 2010, 10:00AM
Plante made me a believer in him last year.
As for next year's draft. I believe the Oilers want a crusty defenseman. They wanted a Gudbranson type guy and went hard after Florida's pick in the hopes of getting Macilrath.
I don't think the Oilers will be a lottery team next year, but likely top 10. There would be a local boy that is currently playing in Saskatoon by the name of Duncan Siemens who fits the bill of being big and pretty crusty, but he is also a smooth skater and wants to prove he can put up the points.
He's projected to go around the area the Oilers would be picking and he's the sort of kid that let's us have it both ways regarding defenseman.
How about we go for Brett Carson from the Carolina Hurricaine who we can sign in free agency. He is a big kid from the west. He played for the Calgary Hitmen and was a dominant junior. he then served an apprenticeship in the AHL. Last year he moved up to a regular job (due to injury) in NHL. He has already proved he can handle 3/4 minutes in the NHL on a bad team and thrive. At 25 his peak years as a D will be about the time the cluster hits its prime.
Looking like the veterans on next years squad up front are going to be Penner, Horcoff , Hemsky and Stortini. Gagner and Gogs with maybe Brule will be our next generation forwards . Svensson , Hall, OMark , Eberle i pencil in for this years squad . Fraser gets in as a trade .
Only question is who "rides the pine " with those top twelve likely ? Is it worth keeping Comrie and taking up another spot for someone who might also develop like Hartekeinen ? Maybe a young tough guy that we might still trade for like a Simmonds , etc ?
Captaincy will remain open until Renney forsees whom will emerge as leader of the young "dirty dozen " .
July 08 2010, 10:27AM
I have to say I did not expect to see Pronger in an oil jersey in Oilnation.
July 08 2010, 10:39AM
Been saying it for a while, shift some of our riches up front for their equivalent on the back end.
Plante - anyone notice on his call-up he wasn't scrambling around much like were are used to seeing from the D recent years? An anomaly for sure.
Gilbert - Many comments since last March about how he and Whitney are top pairing. Then Gilbert should be able to play top line with with just about any partner, right? I am just not sold. Maybe he goes another gear this year. Hoping he gets that yellow stripe of his back.

Don't forget free agency. If we are truly contenders in 3 years as everyone predicts, you can get quality people at only a slight markup
*crosses fingers for Webber*
Been saying it for a while, shift some of our riches up front for their equivalent on the back end.
Was originally hoping for same thing . With such a young core ,and many still soft and diminutive , i feel Oilers went out for more muscle than skill on back end to protect them !All part of the rebuilding phase for next two seasons i suppose . How will it pan out is the question .
Looking more like Oilers finishing position next year will lie upon how well the rookies do , moreso than the veterans and second generation ones do - surrounded by a tough but defensively challenged back end and goaltending .
July 08 2010, 11:45AM
Say what you like about Pronger, but that is one bad ass MF'n pic.
We're always wanting to trade Cogs - maybe we could be shopping him for a defense prospect?
EDIT: It can't be said often enough: Chris Pronger has terrible hair.
Question for the smart kids:
Is there a salary cap for AHL teams? The oilers have made quite a few signings for OKC at pretty solid AHL bucks. Can you just throw money at an minor league team to make it competitive?
July 08 2010, 11:55AM
Pretty sure there is no cap. There is talks of guys sending players like Huet to the minors and Nylander was there last year, so I can't see there being one.

Found this article from Jan 2010 about the AHL Cap.
PORTLAND, Maine - As is his custom during the annual AHL All-Star Classic, league president David Andrews delivered his state-of-the-league address Tuesday.
Andrews took on several topics, among them the issue of a salary cap, which the AHL currently does not have.
July 08 2010, 12:10PM
Has anyone confirmed one way or another whether or not Peckham needs to clear waivers? There is an assumption amongst many that he does, however he started playing in the AHL as a 19 year old and I believe that makes the issue more complex.
Have a decisive answer on this?

We should check with Rick Olczyk, since it's his job he would definitely know for sure.....oh wait....ummm...forget it.

Beautiful shoe but unable to make them work :(
"These shoes are a gorgeous color and very pretty, but unfortunately I had to return them. I do not have a wide foot by any means but I actually ordered a half size bigger and in the WIDE... and the shoes were STILL way too tight. The straps at the top are beautiful and the heel is very moderate with good tread at the bottom. If you can find a good size to fit, I would highly recommend."

Beauty and support!
"This is a GORGEOUS shoe, with its crisscrossing and pin-tucking in shimmery satin. It's also on the more comfortable side, with the little platform and the best arch support I've yet found in a high-heeled shoe! I usually wear an 8.5, sometimes an 8.5W, and this shoe fits me well in the regular width. I love it! The only improvement would be a bit more cushioning at the ball of the foot."

Solid wedding shoe
"Bought these in silver to go with a light blue bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding. Received many compliments and they looked great on. Wouldn't recommend if you're going to be standing on grass a lot, as I kept sinking in... Other than that, not too uncomfortable, did dig into my feet a little after a lot of walking. Nice shoe."

If kids could bark like "Chipper."
On a beautiful spring morning in Alabama, I noticed a policeman at my truck door in the parking lot of a major department store as I returned.
I could hear my very spoiled grand-dog Chipper a chocolate Lab loudly barking at this policeman who was close to my trucking looking in at Chipper.
As I walked up, I jokingly asked the policeman was he going to arrest Chipper. "No," he answered back without smiling.
The policeman stated there was a law that would allow them to break in a vehicle to rescue pets from the heat of the weather, but he mentioned that my both my windows were down and Chipper was OK.
Great that we protect pets in Alabama and America while in vehicles, but my humble question is what about innocent kids who breathe toxic secondhand smoke in tightly sealed vehicles in summer and winter?
The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported on May 11, in their article titled "Study: Smoking sins of parents visited on children" that US scientists have the first time detected cancer-causing chemicals from tobacco smoke in the urine of infants whose parents smoke in their vicinity, according to an article in the just-released May issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. "The take-home message is, 'Don't smoke around your kids,'" said Professor Stephen Hecht, an expert in cancer prevention at the Cancer Center of the University of Minnesota.
Do you think our police, politicians, and preachers would be more attentive to our smoked-choked kids in cars if they could bark as loud as Chipper?
