Flames Coaching Contender: Mike Sullivan
Ryan Pike
May 18 2012 09:56PM
In a column in Friday's Calgary Herald, the venerable George Johnson mentioned that the Flames have been rather mum about the coaching search, theorizing that they're waiting for the New York Rangers to be bounced from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The reasoning being that Rangers assistant coach Mike Sullivan It's not a bad theory.
Blast From the Past
If you're a Flames fan, you probably vaguely remember Mike Sullivan as one of the bright spots of some thoroughly mediocre teams of the mid-1990s. A very capable two-way player, Sullivan's work on the penalty kill was rather impressive – topping off with three short-handed goals in 1996-97. On the whole, Sullivan was relied upon as a bottom-six defensive role player with varying results. Notably, he was a -42 with the 1992-93 San Jose Sharks. He played 709 games with San Jose, Calgary, Boston and Phoenix before retiring and becoming a coach.
While some players take some time to transition to coaching, Sullivan took to it rather quickly. He immediately became a head coach with the AHL's Providence Bruins, winning 41 games before being brought up to the NHL as an assistant late in the season. Somewhat surprisingly, he was made the head coach in Boston in his second year as a professional coach. It was probably too much, too soon, and he only coached the Bruins for two years (the years before and after the lock-out) before being turfed in the off-season.
Since then, Sullivan has seemingly been laying in wait for another opportunity at an NHL job. He was an assistant coach for a year in Tampa Bay, hired in part by now-Flames general manager Jay Feaster. Most recently, he's been an assistant for three seasons in Manhattan.
Way of the Future?
In a lot of ways, Mike Sullivan is similar to Troy Ward. Both are college educated. Both played hockey, although Sullivan played in the NHL. Both have been assistants in the NHL (Sullivan has been there more often and more recently). In addition, Sullivan has international experience as a player (the 1987 World Juniors) and an assistant coach (the 2006 Olympics).
He's also younger than Ward.
Hiring Sullivan would send a lot of the same messages to the players (and the league) that hiring Ward would, as well as having the added benefit of bringing in an established head coach with previous NHL experience.
If the Flames aren't actively considering Mike Sullivan as a contender for the head coaching gig, they probably should. He's been quite successful as a coach, even in a situation in Boston that probably wasn't ideal. That said, the New York Rangers likely know how good Sullivan is – that's why they're employing him – and it's yet to be seen if they're willing to let him head to another team, even if it is Calgary.
May 18 2012, 10:53PM
He's the front-runner, imo.
Here is a coaching candidate I can get behind. I think Sullivan has a blend of the experience and the style that the Flames need.
May 18 2012, 11:37PM
And he and Iggy are familiar with each other aas players. That could be handy.
It's a two man race between Ward and Sullivan. The big advantage Sullivan has is his NHL experience. However, we have seen guys like Guy Boucher come in and have success.
I think Sullivan and Ward as a coaching duo would be awesome. Sure, Ward has been coaching longer and he's considered a front runner, but why would he scoff at an assistant coach position in the NHL just one year after being an assistant coach in the AHL.
I hope Feaster can get this done. Sullivan and Ward would bring some accountability to this team.
May 19 2012, 06:27AM
Sully knows the city, the market here. Has a past w/Feaster...
Would Ward want to be an NHL assistant here? Would it be wiser to convinve Ward to stay on the farm, developing the likes of Reinhart, Ferland, and so on? Perhaps...
Of course, Feaster does have the deep connection to Hartley, and if he goes to Hartley, I get a sense the fanbase will be peeved...
A young coach like Sullivan... Ward... Would send the rigth message. Whether either of them is the answer, remains to be seen. I am still not convinced the combo-platter of Feaster and Weisbrod is a good one. Time will tell. I hope I'm wrong, but...
See contract offer to Richards as evidence...
Can anyone describe his coaching style in detail (i.e. more in-depth then "Defense First", "Players Coach", "Hardass" and all the other cliche adjectives)?
How does he match lines?
Does he use zone start as a line assignment determiner?
Do his teams use a dump-and-chase entry or do they try to carry it in?
Does he ride one goalie or does he share the workload?
How often (if at all) does he dress a goon?
What kind of forecheck do his teams use(1-2-2 etc)?
A description of his teams on the powerplay?
I'd be okay with this hire. If we don't trade Iggy or Kipper this summer I think Sullivan is the better hire, but if we trade one of Iggy/Kipper, than we should hire Ward since he has more experience with our own youth. I would be fine either way though
May 19 2012, 10:51AM
Has to say since his head coaching gigs pre-dates all those stats. We'd have to ask someone who was a Bruins fan back then to describe his systems.
His 2005-06 Bruins dressed Dan Lacouture for 55 games. He averaged about 6 minutes a night. Otherwise the club was goon free.
100% agree with G. Johnson, if we haven't really even started the coaching search in honest, it's because Sullivan is at the top of the list. And honestly I'd rather him over Ward, because that would keep Ward in abby for probably at least a year if not more.
Interesting, never thought of him. My only thought is, where are all the good Canadian coaches? There's already too many Americans running this team.
Interesting, never thought of him. My only thought is, where are all the good Canadian coaches? There's already too many Americans running this team.
right, because Americans are inherently bad at everything and should be avoided at all cost. Please, give the rest of us a break.
On the contrary, I would just like to see a few good ole Canucks at the head. We have a Yankee who never knew hockey existed till his law firm gave him the Rochester American account, another who spent most of his life in the NBA, another granted is a great guy, but not sure how good he is on the management side. While Albertans/Calgarians are probably closest to Americans we still would like to see our coach who could one day coach Team Canada. Also i'm afraid Americans is all Feaster knows. Plus I like conspiracy theories. Honestly though lets get the best coach who will motivate the players to play to their best.
I agree he's a solid candidate and I'd rather Ward stayed in the AHL for now.
Either way, I'm of the opinion that the Flames need to give their next head coach a 5 year deal just to make a statement. "This is our man, he's not going anywhere, fall in line or get out."

Why not give this a read, Miikka?
Ryan Lambert
March 21 2009 11:31AM
Ah yes, this is the team to which I have become accustomed over the past two or three weeks.
This is why Calgary is going to lose the division.
As of right this second, they are a mere three points up on the Canucks, who have a game in hand, and are playing their best hockey of the season. Compare their 8-1-1 record in the last 10 (read: 17 of 20 points) to Calgary's 4-6-0 (read: 8 of 20) and then look at last night's game against a terrible St. Louis side and realize that the Canucks are coming creeping, and the Flames have no way to stop it.
The team, I fear, have become painfully one-dimensional. It can attack attack attack all day, but its has no defense and no goaltending, and if the Blues can exploit that, then the Red Wings and Sharks and Canucks of the world can do the same, with greater ease and frequency.
I don't know where the excuses can even begin. This was a pathetic showing. I have very little to say besides that.
The Good
The power play — It looked fairly threatening and did score.
Mike Cammalleri — He seemed oddly inactive for long stretches the last few games, and that continued tonight to an extent, but goddamn did he step into that goal.
The continued success of the Jokinen-Iginla setup — These two guys could put up points with anybody. Two assists each last night. Too bad the rest of the forward lines couldn't have been bothered.
Discipline — Only giving up two power plays is a hell of a way to keep the opponent on its heels, especially because Calgary was still setting the physical tone.
The Bad
Dealing with TJ Oshie — He was a threat all night and the defense did little to contain him. That shorthanded goal was brutal (more on that in a second.
The Ugly
Miikka Kiprusoff — He must be broken. All three goals he gave up were just terrible. The first was a floater on a rebound that he kicked RIGHT BACK TO OSHIE, the second was a cross-ice pass that he made no attempt to actually follow to the weak side, and the third.. jesus I have no idea. Just putrid.
The loss — It shouldn't have happened. Not to a team like St. Louis, not to a team with as many injury problems as the Blues, not at home. It's inexcusable.
Maybe when Bourque comes back ... ahh forget it.
The damage is already done. They lost an 11 point lead!!!! I hope everyone took the time to personally thank Kipper for ruining what I thought was a pretty solid team effort. Yes there were positives out of this game but who gives a shit if those positives for equate to a win against a tired team that will miss playoffs (albeit barely)
Congratulations Flames!!! Im so diheartened right now I dont know what else to say..
Hopeless.... simply and utterly hopeless third period.
they do realize that the glow from the detroit comeback is over right? they reviewed the video and realize that conklin was just brutal, worse than kipper last night brutal and thats why they won...... nothing else... just that.
they really dont know do they?
TLP.... dont forget the shot blocking..... its the key to their victory and our loss... so says the evil genius.
clearly its exactly what these guys needed to happen, booed off the ice bad is good going forward right?
I'm actually an Oilers fan (Please continue reading I feel I have something valid to say) and while I also find Calgary's recent struggles perplexing I think it comes primarily from the organic ups and downs of a season. All goalies struggle, even Broduer and Loungo, all teams go through cold spells, even Detroit and San Jose have faltered, and I'm certain that Calgary will come out of this prior to playoff time. As for losing the division, if this occurs it may be blessing in disguise. After all the cup run came from seed #6 not seed #3. In short no need to panic.
@ Deno: Thank you for being one of the rare few Oiler fans on this site, I hope you are right. Im getting very nervous now. The team has a couple days to let this bug them at least.
@ Brent G.: Sorry that is meant to say "one of the rare few Oilers fans on this site showing class" I need to start reading this stuff before I post it.
go yotes!!!!!!!
That Viktor Tikhonov goal I just saw was the best thing that ever happened in the history of the universe.
@ Brent G
As it pertains to getting nervous its completely understandable. its impossible to maintain objectivity when your emotionally attached to a team. IE My love hate (primarily hate) relationship with the Oilers this season.
That Viktor Tikhonov goal I just saw was the best thing that ever happened in the history of the universe.
there seems to be a bit of an outbreak of "own goals"...... i used to think that a european football phenomenon but it seems more common in our fine game than I was conscious of. That vancouver media dude was a real funny one huh...
to AV.
So Shane Obrien finally notches his first huh? I kinda wish AV had gone all Tukka Rask on him would make for much better TV.

William Morris (Billy) Hughes (1862–1952) was the seventh Prime Minister of Australia (from 1915 to 1923), the longest serving member of the Australian Parliament (1901 to 1952) and a colourful and controversial figure in Australian political history. He was a strong supporter of Australia's participation in the First World War, and of conscription. In 1916, while prime minister, he was expelled from the Labor Party, which he led, and survived by forming a new national party. In 1919–20 he attended the Versailles peace conference and signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of Australia. He became known by the troops as 'the little digger' on account of his reputation as a war leader and his battles for Australia in international relations. To some he was a great statesman and patriot, to others he was a renegade; he could be abrasive and ruthless as well as charming and amusing (ADB).
Hughes sat for Lambert twelve times in February 1927. Lambert painted him with uncompromising realism, full of life but capturing the lines on Hughes's face which reflect his age (sixty-four) and his tensions, as well as his sharp, keen eyes. He conveyed the little digger's slight build, large head and long bony hands; at rest, but still alert. He gave him a large right ear, perhaps to suggest his severe deafness. Looking directly at the viewer, Hughes wears a conservative grey suit and waistcoat, enlivened by a mauve necktie and handkerchief, and a blue background. As the Daily Telegraph reviewer observed on 9 September 1927, Lambert 'has given him justice, without flattery'.
The portrait was commissioned for £150 by the Historic Memorials Committee as one of a series of portraits of Australian prime ministers, after Norman Carter's portrait of Hughes was rejected by the subject. Lambert was one in a long row of artists asked to paint Hughes: Max Meldrum, John Longstaff, Marion Jones, Augustus John, Robin Guthrie and William Orpen also painted portraits of Hughes, but the Historic Memorials Committee did not purchase any of these.
As with all portraits painted of him, Hughes was not satisfied with the way Lambert depicted him, but recognised the artistic merit of the portrait. He wrote to Lambert on 4 December 1928: 'By all means exhibit the portrait at the Royal Academy (London). You are quite wrong in assuming – which from the tone of your letter you do – that I question its merits as a work of art' (ML MSS 97/2, pp.515–16). The official title at the Royal Academy in 1929 was 'the Right Hon. W.M. Hughes, Prime Minister of Australia, 1915–23'.

Posted on 01/10/2013 4:28:16 PM PST by Ben Mugged
Police have released audio from a 911 call made during a home invasion in Georgia, in which a concerned husband tells his wife to shoot a lawless intruder. The mom was home alone with her twin 9-year-old children when the man broke into their home with a crowbar.
The mother, later identified as Melinda Herman, shot the man five times with a .38 caliber revolver after he cornered them in an attic crawlspace,
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
If I recall correctly, the guy was still moving, managed to run away, and survived.
Sounds like she didn't shoot him enough.
"Shoot Him Again! Shoot Him!: Husband Coaches Wife to Shoot Home Invader in Chilling 911 Audio"
Bad guy was shot. Good guys survived.
Not feeling the chill.
Yeah, not chilled at all. Seems like a mostly feel good story - other than that the burglar didn't die. Shame about that.
She fired six times. She hit him in the face and neck five times at close range, and he was still not dead. She is the world's best argument for weapons that can fire a lot more than six shots. What if there had been two intruders?
The perp was after her, there was nothing of value to steal in the attic.
In the Red-Coat's home country that he wishes the US would be more like, Melinda would be arrested and charged with murder.
Happy ending. And that right there is why we all need 30 round magazines.
Sounds like she shot him in the chest and stomach not the head.
And if the perp was on PCP she would need a dozen rounds. And if there were two of them a 30 clip would be a minimum.
Libs are detached from reality.

Libs are detached from reality.
I didn't read the story yet. However my husband would never have to tell me to shoot. Ha ha. I feel sorry for any sucker who think my man would have to.
The only thing I didn't hear him say that I would have liked to hear was "reload".
I love a story with a happy ending!
I've read different versions of events. The point is, one little revolver with six rounds in it is not enough. This is why people want and need more firepower.
That graphic says it all.
I wonder if the perp was just looking for Skittles?
38 isn't enough cartridge for tough guys on drugs. I like .45 GDHP by Speer.
Then the idiot husband says to the 911 operator that he heard the perp "pleading."
On tape.
Idiot. Keep your mouth shut.
Also, 5 rounds to take down one perp. What if there were two? Three? Six?
How many rounds would you want in YOUR magazine?
.357 w/ Hornady critical defense.
Glad the lady had the wherewithall and training with her .38 and had her husband on the phone to coach her. Too bad the perp survived as now the taxpayers of Georgia will undoubtedly have to cover his medical costs and house and feed his sorry azz.
Democrats want her to die !!!
"....Wife to Shoot Home Invader in Chilling 911 Audio"
What's so chilling about it?
Loving husband instructing wife to shoot as long as opponent remains standing.
Isn't love never having to say you're sorry?
"...She is the worlds best argument for weapons that can fire a lot more than six shots. What if there had been two intruders?"
Shoulda used the full auto Glock with 100 round mag!
Think that might be enough???
Yep. Got in his car and made it to a driveway in
another home.
If she remained in the home , same effort could
have been used to kill the mother & children with crowbar.
Unfortunately he will live. A 9mm clip would have had more than enough rounds to end his
I wouldn't exactly call it a happy ending, but could have been worse.
Sorry, but somebody had to say it...
Full auto
Glock 17 (FPS Russia testing it)
Glock 18c
Glock 19
Glock 20
Glock 21
Glock 22
Glock 23
So... the moral of this story for me is to keep my .9mm Beretta handy by the side of the bed and use the .38 revolver as a backup.
More punch, more rounds.
So much for texting on train . Lol.
Tires , wheels , same thing. Lol
WHICH 9mm "clip" ?
Some little 9s have a slim single-stack of 6 or 7 rounds.And far better to have one of those than nothing.
Don't you know ONLY the police need double-stack 19 round magazines ?
Sounds like the perp was on just enough drugs to shrug off the wounds yet just enough brains to seek medical help .He COULD have expended his enegy beating the woman and children to death before then collapsing.NOT a happy ending.
If she had shot the perp in just the correct spot in the face then a bullet would have traveled to the brain and ended it.But chances of missing the head are much greater than missing the body.And I posit that nice people are reluctant to shoot,stab, or bash someone in the face., due to cultural conditioning.
She actually did pretty well-both lungs,and the liver.Wrong ammo in the gun,otherwise he'd have been dead on the spot.What she needed was a .357 with the Federal 125 grain load.
I like 00 buckshot from my 870 tactical. Of course, you will have less mess to cleanup. ;>)
I'm relieved that she called her husband. 911 would have instructed her to give the gun to the perp.
The guy did make it to the hospital
This incident occurred because she was shooting .38 cal. ball rounds.
She should have been using .38 cal hydra-shock +p's
After discharging the weapon in a small space , she couldn't hear her husband on the phone : all the more reason for using a 'silencer' in a closed area .
Thank goodness her husband brought her to the range to train her on the firearm ~ let that be a lesson to us all .
you're ok if I put a clip in my broomhandle Mauser I assume.
I just looked at the first video....awesome!
FPS Russia has the coolest toys.
Gator113 ~:" I like 00 buckshot from my 870 tactical. Of course, you will have less mess to cleanup. ;>)"
My 870 (non-tactical) has : #6 bird (first round) , #00 (second round), and sabots (#3,4,5 rounds).
If I have to go to #3 -5 , I don't care about clean up !!
LOL, I thought the same thing. I like how calm and reassuring her husband was.
Seems like I heard she had just begun learning how to shoot, so that lady did just FINE!
911 was still in the process of dispatching when she had to defend herself. No way she or her children would have been safe until the police actually got there and made it to her location.
We have a Sp101 that I put .38 HP in for my wife. Its a bit easier for my wife to shoot than the .357 rounds.
Of course thats a backup to the .45 acp
I went back and watched the rest of your vid list. OMG... I need to know how can own one of those without going to prison. Of course, I would want a selector switch to single shot.
Thanks for the post—fun to watch.
When the criminal looks in a crawlspace, he's not looking for cash or jewelery. He heard people and was looking for entertainment. I'm glad she was armed and the entertainment was one-sided. How much chance would she have had unarmed against a guy who could take five shots to the face, neck, lungs, and liver and still get away?
The woman handled things perfectly, and I imagine her husband is justifiably proud of her. My only criticism is of the husband. He needs some serious self-defense ammo in that revolver. It may be the right weapon for his wife, and judging by her shooting it probably is, but if he chose the ammo, he did a lousy job. If that criminal comes back, once he's out of the hospital and then prison, I hope she has the right ammo to solve the problem permanently.
Hopefully her husband will do something warm and fuzzy like get his wife a pistol with several extended mags as a Valentine's Day present. And/or a shotgun.
I recently bought this gun for home defense and have been thinking about some of this specialty rounds. I have a Rock River LAW-15 , I wanted something that didn't require much to run it out of a sound sleep, thus the shotgun. I just need to get a flashlight to mount on it and it will be ready.
Too bad about the guy that does that.
Gun Enthusiast With Popular Online Videos Is Shot to Death in Georgia
Ridiculously ambiguous, misleading headline, bordering on incompetence.
Is the "chilling" adjective referring to having dealt with an animal as he deserved?
Or is it applied to the necessity of having to go, with her children, into a house's crawlspace to escape the useless waste of oxygen?
Morons (including the Mensa candidate Juan williams) on TV are arguing that she "should have called 911..."
Guess they haven't heard the reality that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away..."
As our official National Moron, the vice-president, said recently...
"If it saves ONE child's life..."
Repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1934?
Now they've changed the story! Or this dude has his face on his abdomen. Who makes this crap up??

If You Have Younger-Onset Alzheimer's Disease
A diagnosis of younger-onset is probably not what you had planned for at this time in your life. You will face unique challenges when it comes to family, work, finances and future care. But you have the power to make a new plan and determine how you choose to live your best life with the disease.
About younger-onset Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is considered to be younger-onset Alzheimer's if it affects a person under 65. Younger-onset can also be referred to as early-onset Alzheimer's. People with younger-onset Alzheimer's can be in the early, middle or late stage of the disease.
The majority of people with younger-onset have sporadic Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common form of Alzheimer's and is not attributed to genetics. Doctors do not understand why most cases of younger-onset Alzheimer's appear at such a young age.
However, researchers know genetics play a role in Alzheimer's. There are risk genes, which increase the likelihood of developing a disease, but do not guarantee it will happen. And there are deterministic genes that directly cause a disease, guaranteeing that anyone who inherits them will develop the disorder.
> Learn more about younger-onset Alzheimer's
> Learn more about Alzheimer's and genetics
Like many people with younger-onset Alzheimer's, receiving an accurate diagnosis may have been difficult. Age or medical history can cause doctors to overlook or rule out Alzheimer's disease. It's also not uncommon to be told your symptoms may be related to stress, menopause or depression. This can lead to misdiagnosis (sometimes multiple times) and incorrect treatment.
Impact on you and your family
Learning about the unique challenges of living with younger-onset is the first step in understanding the impact the disease will have on you and your family. While this may be difficult for you at first, it can help relieve some of the anxieties and fears you may have about the future, and allow you more time to focus on the things that bring you joy.
While each family experiences the impact of younger-onset Alzheimer's disease differently, there are common issues:
Free E-Learning Workshop
The Living with Alzheimer's for Younger-Onset Alzheimer's course will provide answers to your questions about younger-onset Alzheimer's.
Your role as a parent
You may be one of the many people diagnosed with younger-onset who is raising a family. It can be painful to know that family dynamics will change. It is normal to grieve now about the anticipated changes in your parental role. It is also normal to wonder what role you will play in the significant events of your child's life as he or she grows older and as the disease progresses. Remaining strong for your child can be difficult as you cope with your own emotions. The best way you can help your child work through the challenges of living with the disease is to take good care of your own physical and emotional needs.
Talking with your child about your Alzheimer's diagnosis may be difficult; it is something that you never anticipated having to do. You may want to protect your young family members and avoid the subject or delay sharing your diagnosis. Only you and your partner know the type of information your child is capable of understanding and how much he or she can handle.
> Tips for helping your children
> Share our Kids & Teens Website
There are many myths, misconceptions and stereotypes about Alzheimer's disease. Because of your young age, people may not believe you have the disease, may question your diagnosis or dismiss it. Stigma can have a significant impact on your well-being and quality of life. It may cause you to withdraw from your relationships and become isolated. Don't fear stigma, fight it instead.
> Tips to overcome stigma
Plan for your future
Prior to your diagnosis, you may have been saving for your child's college education or your retirement. As someone in the early stage of the disease, you have the ability to put critical financial and legal plans in place. Be confident about the decisions your family will need to make on your behalf when it becomes too demanding or unsafe for you to make your own decisions.
Talk with your family or consider speaking with a financial planner and an attorney.

Loss of income
Like many people diagnosed with younger-onset, you may have a career. If your employment is the primary source of income for your family, the loss of this income can have a significant impact on your family's financial situation. Now you have to think about your finances in terms of living with dementia – Can you keep working? Will you lose income? Will your spouse or partner have to quit work to provide care? What will future care costs be?
It is also important that you begin discussing with your family what changes may need to occur. For example, you may need to reassess your family budget and make significant changes to how you live.

Receiving a diagnosis while working
If you have been diagnosed while still employed, it is critical that you educate yourself about the benefits available to you through your employer. Maximize these benefits before you leave your job.
Benefits offered by your employer may include:
Disability insurance
Disability insurance provides income for a worker who can no longer work due to illness or injury. The insurance plan must be in place before symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear. With an employer sponsored disability policy, a percentage of your salary may be provided. Benefits paid out of an employer plan may be taxed as income. If you bought a personal disability policy, then the benefits paid will be the amount specified in your policy. Personal disability policy benefits are not taxed as income.
Below are some questions that can help ensure you maximize the disability benefits offered by your employer:
- What long and short term disability benefits are available through my employer?
- What are my employer's policies around disability benefits and what do I need to do to access them?
- How do I apply for disability benefits?
- When should I file my claim?
- What is the percentage of my total salary that is provided through my company's disability insurance? Can this change over time?
- How soon after disability are benefits payable?
- How long will the benefits last?
- Are there any factors that may change the benefit payment I receive?
- What happens if my employment is terminated?
- Who is my company's benefits administrator?
Tips when seeking employee benefits
- Review the employer's benefits handbook.
- Ask the benefits staff what benefits may be available, such as the employer may provide paid sick leave or other short-term disability benefits. Often, these must be taken prior to using long-term disability benefits.
- Keep written confirmation of all benefits.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
You may be able to use benefits offered under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The law covers employers with 50 or more employees. FMLA allows you to take off up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage. Talk with your human resources department about your eligibility for FMLA and any return to work requirements.
> Learn more at the U.S. Department of Labor
Alzheimer's Association Early-Stage Advisor Greg O'Brien offers a glimpse of what it's like to live with younger-onset Alzheimer's in a special NPR series.
COBRA is a federal law that allows individuals to continue their health care coverage after leaving a job. COBRA refers to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 and is available to those who work in companies with 20 or more employees. Under COBRA, an employee may continue group plan coverage for up to 18, 29 or 36 months, depending on the circumstances, if he or she:
- - Leaves the employer.
- - Has work hours reduced to the point that he or she no longer qualifies for the employee health plan.
The COBRA-insured employee must pay the full cost of coverage, plus up to two percent to cover administrative costs. Talk with your human resources department about your eligibility for COBRA.

Health insurance
If you were diagnosed after you left your job, you may not have had the opportunity to take advantage of programs that continue your health insurance coverage such as COBRA. Lack of health insurance for you and your family and high out-of pocket expenses for medical care can put a significant strain on your financial situation and ability to get the appropriate medical care needed.
- Medicare is a federal health insurance program generally for people aged 65 or older who are receiving Social Security retirement benefits, but does offer benefits for individuals who are younger than 65 and have received Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months.
> Learn more at Social Security.gov
- Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plans were established under the Affordable Care Act. The federal government will provide premium subsidies to low and moderate income individuals to help them purchase health insurance, and will offer subsidies to businesses that provide health insurance coverage to retirees aged 55 to 64.
> Download Fact Sheet: Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plans – Frequently Asked Questions
In states where the program is administered by the federal government (see Fact Sheet above for a list of those states), you do not need a denial letter from an insurance company to prove the existence of a pre-existing condition.
Instead, a doctor, physician assistant or nurse practitioner can provide a letter stating that you have or had a medical condition, disability or illness within the last 12 months. Below is a sample letter developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for this purpose. Take it to your doctor.
> Download sample physician letter to certify the existence of a pre-existing condition
Retirement benefits
You may be able to tap into financial resources from retirement plans, even if you have not yet reached retirement age. Retirement plans include Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and annuities.
Pension plans will typically pay benefits before retirement age to a worker defined as disabled under the plan's guidelines. You may also be able to withdraw money from your IRA or employee-funded retirement plan before age 59 1/2 without paying the typical 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.
This money usually will be considered regular income, and taxes will have to be paid on the amount withdrawn. If withdrawals can be delayed until after you leave work, income taxes due will likely be less because you will probably fall into a lower income tax bracket. Social Security benefits are also available before retirement age if Social Security disability requirements are met.

Auguste Rodin
Study for the Monument to Balzac
Auguste Rodin
French, 1840-1917
Study for the Monument to Balzac, 1892

Museum purchase with funds donated by the Museum Associates, Museum Members and Friends 66.057
In 1891, Rodin received a commission for a statue of novelist Honoré de Balzac (1799- 1850), which was to be installed in front of the Théâtre Français in Paris. He subsequently immersed himself in Balzac's writings, studied known portraits, measured his clothing, and examined the physical characteristics of residents of his native region. RISD's Study for the Monument to Balzac, which reveals Balzac's nude, corpulent figure in the attitude of a wrestler, represents Rodin's first attempt at the commission. Although accurate, it was rejected as shocking and deformed. A second attempt, completed in 1898, depicts Balzac in the floor-length monk's robe he wore while writing. Also rejected at first, the robed version was later installed near the intersection of boulevards Raspail and Montparnasse

50+: Live Better, Longer
Memory Problems May Worsen After Hospital Stay
March 21, 2012 -- Older people who are hospitalized may experience a worsening of their memory problems and thinking abilities after they are discharged, a new study suggests.
Exactly why this occurs is not fully understood. "Hospitalization is very common in older age and many older Americans are struggling with their [mental] function," says researcher Robert S. Wilson, PhD. He is the senior neuropsychologist of the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago. "We think that people who have [mental] problems may be more likely to be hospitalized in the first place."
The study included 1,870 people older than 65. Participants were interviewed every three years for up to 12 years to test their memory and thinking skills. Of those, 71% were hospitalized at least once during the study period.
Scores on the tests declined slightly with age. That said, scores declined twice as fast after a first hospital stay, the study shows. The results held even after researchers took into account severe illness, longer hospital stay, and older age.
In the study, just 3% of people were in the critical care unit. Most were hospitalized for general medical conditions. The findings appear in Neurology.
Good Preventive Care May Keep People Out of the Hospital
Good primary care and leading a healthy lifestyle may help prevent certain unnecessary hospitalizations. Still, "many times hospitalization is necessary," Wilson says.
Marc L. Gordon, MD, agrees. He is the chief of neurology at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, N.Y. "Try to take as good preventive care as possible so you don't become ill and need to be hospitalized," he says.
While this often may be easier said than done, there are some simple ways to help keep out of the hospital, he says. For example, "people who are immunized against the flu may have a lower risk of being hospitalized for complications," he says.
Richard S. Isaacson, MD, says the new findings mirror what he sees with his own patients. He is an associate professor of clinical neurology at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "More likely than not, any patient with [current mental] impairment who comes out of the hospital will not return to their previous level of functioning," he says.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This is an awesome bait even though it only lasted one fish. I purchased this bait in white and on my first cast I hooked into a 36 inch Pike weighing between 11-13lbs. Unfortunately, the pike destroyed the bait, bending the wire in every way possible. Don't let this discourage you from buying this lure! It catches big fish. I will be buying many more.

Comments: catches a ton of fish but like duke said its really weak and the blades do fall off really easy and i got a hit and the skirt came clean off
From: Ben: NY
Comments: catches a lot of fish but after a few fish it gets bent and the blades fall of wish it was stronger
From: Duke: CA
Comments: I caught a 7.5 pound LM bass with a white 1/2 OZ gold blade, Hawg Caller double willow in NOV. 2011 on Jordan Lake, NC and with the same bait I caught a 7.75 pound LM bass on Harris Lake, NC in Jan. 2012. Don't leave home without one.
From: Dan: Cary, NC
Comments: Great bait. Just one of those deals where it seems to get more bites than the other guy's spinnerbait. The sexy shad skirt is a great color, not as close to a SK color as you might think but a great color just the same.

Canucks Zeroing in on Location for AHL Affiliate, Possibly Utica
Thomas Drance
May 24 2013 08:27AM
Will Vancouver park their newly purchased AHL franchise at this arena next season?
Photograph by: Manuel Palomino Arjona, via eventseeker.com
We've tracked the scuttlebutt about the Canucks's American Hockey League affiliate kerfuffle extensively over the past year - from the Abbotsford rumours, through to their somewhat messy divorce with the Wolves, to the club's purchase of the Peoria Rivermen franchise. When we last checked in on this developing story, the hottest gossip was that Vancouver may let their newly purchased AHL franchise go dormant for a year and scatter their prospects across a variety of north american minor leagues.
Well, thankfully, it now appears that the Canucks are zeroing in on a deal with "a specific city that hasn't been concluded yet." So that's good news. We should hear more about the deal soon too according to Mike Gillis - who addressed the situation in an apperance on the Team1040 on Thursday - and told Matt Sekeres and Blake Price that, "Hopefully we'll be ready to announce something by the middle of next week."
Read past the jump.
Here are Mike Gillis' comments from his Team 1040 appearance yesterday (you can listen to the General Manager's radio hit here, the below transcription is my own):
"We're working on an arrangement with a specific city that hasn't been concluded yet. We have a couple of other opportunities that have been put on hold because we want to pursue this one. Hopefully we'll be ready to announce something by the middle of next week.
There's been a lot of discussion about AHL expansion in the West which we've been part of. But it's a little premature at this point. We're looking at an opportunity we really like for development purposes, and travel purposes, so hopefully that'll work out and we'll have something to say next week."
[On the prospect of shuttering the Rivermen franchise for a year]
"I don't believe so but there's always a chance that things can fall apart. But I don't believe that will be the case, and it wouldn't be our first choice by far."
Unpacking Gillis' comments, it seems as if the Canucks are closing in on a deal with a specific unnamed city, but the deal isn't concluded yet and the organization is proceeding cautiously. The best news is that it doesn't sound as if Vancouver's newly acquired AHL team will "go dormant" this upcoming season after all, though of course "things can fall apart."
Reading between the lines a little bit further, I might suggest to you that Mike Gillis's comments can be read to imply that the organization's AHL affiliate will be placed on the East coast (if it's placed at all) at least for the short-term. After all, Gillis did describe AHL expansion in the West as "a little premature at this point."
Which brings us to the rumours about the Mohawk valley and Utica, New York. Is Utica - a city that has been "in" on pretty much every AHL affiliate rumour over the past two months - the unnamed "specific city" that the Canucks are close to cutting a deal with? We don't know for sure, but there's an increasing amount of smoke.
It started with a Ben Kuzma report a week ago, which we didn't pivot off at the time because it only quoted Scott Arniel on the record. Relying on unnamed sources, Kuzma reported that Utica was a "front runner" to land the Canucks's displaced Peoria franchise.
This week, the News1130 Twitter account (which admittedly has a bit of a mixed record on these sorts of things) passed along something similar:
Hearing the #Canucks deal for a farm team in Utica is 95% done - just some legalities left.— News1130 Sports (@News1130Sports) May 22, 2013
It's interesting, however, that the News 1130 report landed on Wednesday afternoon, because on Tuesday of this week the state government of New York approved two million dollars in funding to restore the Utica Memorial Auditorium (which locals apparently refer to as "the Aud"). That money will be in the 2013-14 state budget and presumably represents the sort of commitment that would make Utica a more attractive destination for the Canucks.
Actually it's not just a commitment that would make Utica a more attractive destination, it's a necessary commitment for the city to make if they want to attract AHL hockey. The Aud currently only seats 4000, so it's a small arena by AHL standards - even if the Abbotsford Heat couldn't fill it regularly - and falls short of some other minimum standards the league has for its buildings. Utica has a long and storied history of unsuccessful hockey franchises and an outdated arena in need of significant investment, but hell, it's better than going dormant (probably)...
Admittedly we don't know for sure that Utica is the "specific city" Mike Gillis was referring too. But it's worth noting that two Vancouver news outlets (the Province and News 1130) are reporting the city as a front runner, the mayor is certainly on board, and the city recently procured two million dollars in state funds to upgrade their hockey facility...
So professional hockey may return to the Mohawk Valley this fall, and it'll be interesting to see if it can actually succeed there.
May 24 2013, 08:38AM
Oh, never in Utica!
I thought the whole point of moving our AHL Team was to get them closer to us, not to move them on the other side of North America. Anyways, isn't Utica the place where everyone thought Calgary would move thus freeing up Abbotsford for us? Funny how things work out ...
May 24 2013, 11:11AM
The point of relocating the farm team was so the Canucks would have more control over the development of their prospects. The Canucks don't own the Chicago Wolves, so they had limited input on how the team was run.
Having the farm team so far away isn't an ideal situation, but it is 1000% better than having the team go dormant for the year.
I am curious, if the Canucks can't move their farm team to somewhere close, what was wrong with staying in Peoria?
MG saying there might be news by the middle of next week is like his saying that David Booth would be ready for the first round of the playoffs.
That was what I thought might have been their best option once Abby fell through for this year. The flip side is a deal with Utica - if Calgary does indeed want to move their AHL team there - would allow us to take care of the setup stuff, and then swap with Calgary to get the Abbotsford location later.
The Flames were rumoured to want a lot of $$$ to give the Canucks Abbotsford (since both the local Heat management and city were for the idea) but it was too much to get the deal done. Having a ready made setup in Utica might be the leverage they need to convince the Flames to swap.
I'm a Canucks fan that lives in Utica. I would love to see this team come here. However, us Uticans have a long history of unsuccessful sports teams, many of them being professional and semi pro hockey teams. The area has so much potential, and is really a great place for any sports team, if the people will get behind it. From many of the people I talk to, they already have money set aside for season tickets, which is very promising. Here's to hoping this deal does get done!

Patience is a virtue.
Lol, safely far enough away to not really mean anything.
He could get out of that, or shift the date etc. in a hundred different ways.
But it looks like he's made a commitment...
My Blog
Yes, he can.
But guess what, he needs to a mandate from the UK public. There is a small but growing wave of anti-EU sentiment.
The UK is one of the biggest contributors to the finances of the EU, whilst many other countries (Portugal, Spain, Greece) have done nothing but take, take, take from the EU.
The EU NEEDS the UK to be part of it.
IMHO, there is a strong possibility that the EU could collapse without the stability of the UK. It's not obvious - yet, but it could happen.
History will tell.
Yes, Prime Minister! Cameron's EU referendum unites Tories, delights business and even gets Germany on side
Of course its the first flush of political spin - but it's damned interesting to watch.
All David Cameron wants to do is re-negotiate the terms Britain has with the EU. If he's not careful, the public will demand Britain withdrawal from the EU.
Now wouldn't that be interesting for world economics? Mind you, it's YEARS away from any vote.
Watch the back ground manoeuvring more than the public announcements.
Is there any effect on all this if our Scottish friends vote 'yes' next year; which appears unlikely I see ?
Two weeks ago, I would've thought it would be a certainty that Scotland would vote "Yes" next year...... now I'm not so sure.
I think the reality of the costs of separation is starting to hit home with Scotland. They want Sovereignty but they also still need to be part of the UK to survive.
Also, what would the English flag look like without St Andrew's Cross on it?? Hmmm, now that would be interesting.
The English flag has St Georges Cross on it Essence Did you mean the British flag? Yes they'd have to do replace the blue with green for north ireland and wales aye

Being none to sure about the flags that make up the GB flag, I looked it up.
The origins of the flag date back to 1603, when James VI of Scotland inherited the English and Irish thrones (as James I), thereby uniting the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland in a personal union (which remained separate states).
On 12 April 1606, a new flag to represent this regal union between England and Scotland was specified in a royal decree, according to which the flag of England (a red cross on a white background, known as St George's Cross), and the flag of Scotland (a white saltire on a blue background, known as the Saltire or St Andrew's Cross), would be joined together, forming the flag of Great Britain and first union flag.
So theoretically, England would be back to just using St George's Cross(?).
Not too sure Ireland or Wales would want their "colours" on the UK flag.

Scotland's not going anywhere I reckon - too expensive and also too scary for them without the support of England. They don't want to become an 'Ireland' e.g. one of the PIIGS of Europe - I guess it would then be PIIGSS.

Kellan Lutz has some kind of new piece. You don't need to know the name. You just need to know, as they're clearly working so hard to prove, that they are legitimately into each other and that she's, like, his true bonafide. In the subtlest way possible.
I mean, you can barely tell, right?
Compared to them, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are like public porn.
And Kellan Lutz doesn't wear any foundation, none at all.
Are you kidding me with this loser?

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Usually sports stories in this paper include all games in any given week but not this week. This week, due to Christmas, the deadline was pushed up by several days and so here we are just reporting on the games that were played by Emery High on Tuesday night. The rest will be in next week's paper.
Both Emery High teams went on the road Tuesday night, the boy's to Beaver and the girls to Carbon, and both went home with a loss. Beaver beat the Spartans 55-47 while Carbon defeated the Lady Spartans 53-49.
The Carbon-Emery game, while at times was poorly played, was never-the-less exciting because of the closeness of the game and the rivalry between the two schools. It didn't hurt that the game went into overtime.
Ashlynn Allred led Emery with 19 points, most of them coming in the second half, but the Spartan team could not claim their second victory of the season from these Dinos. Shelby Cornforth led Carbon with 17 points while Shailee Croasmun added 14 in the victory. Both of these Carbon players fouled out of the game.
Carbon took the early lead of 11-7 in the first quarter and then extended the lead by one point in the second quarter to lead 20-15 at the half. Carbon extended the lead in the third quarter to 30-22 as Emery still struggled in scoring and struggled with rebounding.
Carbon out rebounded the Spartans by a margin of 28-20 but it seemed that too many of those Dino rebounds were ripped out of Emery hands, as the Spartans couldn't hold onto the ball.
Ashlynn Allred also led the team with steals with six. Shelby Allred, a cousin to Ashlynn Allred, scored 10 points to be the only other Spartan in double figures. Jeridi Price scored 9 points and had 6 rebounds to lead the team and 3 steals in the game. Other players scoring were Bailey Rasmussen with 4 points, Kelcie Cox with 3 points, and Cassidy Labrum and Ashton Bell with 2 points each.
Emery had 13 turnovers in the game but only 3 assists, not a good ratio. Carbon had 11 turnovers in the game with 8 assists. One would hope that assists actually would number higher than turnovers. Carbon, due to turnovers and rebounding, took 46 shots in the game while the Spartans only took 31. Emery had a higher shooting percentage of 39 percent to 35 percent and the Spartans actually shot better at the line 20 for 26 while Carbon was 20 for 29.
The Emery boy's team only scored a single point in the second quarter which ultimately helped lead to their demise in this game. Emery lost the first quarter 11-7 and the second quarter 9-1 to trail 20-8 at the half. Emery then won both quarters of the second half but it wasn't enough to grab the win.
Only four Spartans scored in this game with junior guard Bailey Faimalo leading the team with 22 points. Faimalo shot 47 percent from the field in the game while the team as a whole shot 39 percent. Faimalo is the leading scorer for the season for Emery with a 16.1 scoring average.
Two other Spartans are averaging double figures for the season, Dawson Jensen is averaging 10.9 and Brendon Jorgensen is averaging 10.1. The team, as a whole, is shooting 42 percent from the field for the season. They are averaging 56 percent at the free throw line. Also scoring in this game was Jorgensen with 15 points, Jensen with 6 points and Spencer Labrum with 4 points.
Jensen led the team with 6 rebounds while Faimalo had 4 assists to lead the team in that category. Five players had a single steal in the game.
For the season, Labrum leads the team with 63 rebounds while Jensen is right behind with 61. Jensen leads the team with 7 blocked shots while Labrum has 3 to follow in second place. Faimalo leads the team with 23 steals while Curtis Mason is second with 12. Faimalo also leads the team with 35 assists with Jorgensen second with 17 assists.

He has to live in LA
One more location letter ...
I have been in a relationship for about 2.5 years with a great guy. He is everything I want in a guy with one major problem: his choice location.
We met in Boston and currently live together in LA. He is an actor and a writer and needs to be here to start his career. However as we grow together and start to talk about the future, I envision myself moving back east to be closer to family, and he sees himself living here potentially for the rest of his life.
I don't need to move back today, and I don't need to move back to Boston, just within driving distance to my family within 5-10 years.
We have talked about compromise but I am not sure if we are able to meet in the middle with this. Since I am a teacher, I suggested that during the summertime when I am off from school, I could spend a few months in Boston, as long as we could afford flights for myself and our future kids. However, he believes that it would be unfair for me to leave for an extended period of time every year.
I am at a loss. I feel like I have to choose between my family and the love of my life. What should I do?
– Lost in LA
Your boyfriend has made it clear that he's staying in LA. If that doesn't work for you and you're just biding your time until you move home, please end this relationship. I don't see a real compromise here. He's not planning to get a job on the next Boston-based Ben Affleck movie. He doesn't like the idea of summers away. The only other option is for you to go home during your shorter breaks -- maybe a week or two here and there. If that's not going to cut it, you know the answer to your question.
But ... here's something to consider: You mention that you wouldn't mind living in LA for another 5 to 10 years. That's a very long time. Are you throwing out those numbers to give your boyfriend adequate time to accomplish a few goals? Or would you be legitimately happy staying on the West Coast for another decade? Perhaps you like it out there. Perhaps this angst about moving home is more about what you think you should do, as opposed to what you want to do.
Frankly, I can't figure out what your gut is telling you. I just want to make sure that you're asking yourself the right questions and getting to the bottom of your own motives. I'm stuck on the fact that you'd be open to doing this for another decade. Ask yourself why.
Readers? Is there any room for compromise here? Does she seem happy in LA? Why is she open to doing this for another 5 to 10 years? Is that relevant? Help.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18New International Version (NIV)
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am News
AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is a golf tournament, which is a part of the PGA (the Professional Golfers Association) Tour. It is held annually at Pebble Beach, CA, typically in February. It is usually played at one of the three courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Poppy Hills Golf Course, or Spyglass Hill Golf Course.
In 1937 the first AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was held in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, at Rancho Santa Fe golf club and was hosted by Bing Crosby. The winner of the first tournament was Sam Snead who won 500 US dollars. After the Second World War the tournament moved to CA Pebble beach, where it is played now. From 1947 till 1966 the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links (Cypress Point Club and the Monterey Peninsula Country Club).
From 1967 Spyglass Hill was chosen instead of the Monterey Peninsula Country Club. In 1991 Cypress Point Club was denied the right to hold golf tournaments as it didnt admit women. It was replaced by Poppy Hills Golf Course, which became the permanent venue of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Apart from numerous notable golf professionals the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tournament has seen many famous golf fans, like Kevin Costner, Steve Young, Bill Murray, and Carson Daly. The tournament has had great success, despite some occasional rain falls that slow down the whole play. It was postponed only once though, in 1998. The equivalent golf event held in Europe is called the Dunhill Links Championship.
During its history the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am has changed its name four times. The original tournament name was the Bing Crosby Pro-Am; in 1953 it was renamed into the Bing Crosby Pro-Am Invitational. From 1956 till 1958 it was called the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am Golf Championship. From 1959 and the following twenty-seven years it was known to the public as Bing Crosby National Pro-Am. And finally in 1987 it was given the current name, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament can boast of many splendid golf players. The first winners of the event were Sam Snead (thrice), Ed Oliver, John Dawson, and the well-known Lloyd Mangrum (twice). The fifties and sixties were marked by the prominent play of Jay Hebert, Billy Casper, Tony Lema, Bruce Crampton, Jack Nicklaus, George Archer. The seventies and eighties brought the next generation of star golfers, like Johnny Miller, Tom Watson, George Burns, John Cook, Tom Kite, Steve Jones, and Mark OMeara, to name but a few. The end of the 20th century saw the wonderful play of Brett Olge, Peter Jacobsen, Phil Mickelson, and Payne Stewart. At the beginning of this century appeared such stars as Davis Love III, Matt Gogel, Vijay Singh, Arron Oberholser, and the incomparable Tiger Woods.

Comments: Had my first run in them this morning, size 8.5 2E. I'm normally a 9.5 2E or a 10, and had to return the 9.5 2E and 9 2E to end up with this pair. I feel sorry for Running Warehouse having to bear the brunt of New Balance's odd sizing. They run really long! As for the shoe itself, this is definitely the right size. I have a wide foot, and I didn't have any hotspots or rubbing. The shoe itself is loud and slappy, no matter what adjustments I make. It feels less than 6mm drop for sure. In fact, the drop feels the same or lower than my Nike Free 3.0 v5, which has a 4mm drop. I'm going to keep running in them, because they accommodate my forefoot better than the Nike's, and I'm purposely trying to heel strike as I recover from peroneal tendinitis, so I need the drop. Once I'm feeling 100% and back up to 30-40 miles a week, I'll transition back into my beloved Altras.
From: Brian, Huntington Beach, CA 92649
Comments: At first I loved this shoe, it was very light, felt like I was running/walking barefoot but after about a month of wearing them, the grey material of the shoe began to rip and the bottom grips began to fall apart. Right now, I have a countless number of rips in my shoes and soon I will have to buy a new pair because they are becoming unwearable.

Scotland and Italy battle it out at Murrayfield on Saturday with only one goal in mind: to win and avoid the Six Nations wooden spoon.
Scotland and Italy battle it out at Murrayfield on Saturday with only one goal in mind: to win and avoid the dreaded Six Nations wooden spoon.
The Azzurri have finished last nine times out of the last twelve seasons, whilst the Scots – yet to post a win in this year's championship – have ended bottom of the pile twice.
Italy have beaten Scotland on five occasions since joining the northern hemisphere's showpiece tournament in 2000 and have been successful in three of the last four Six Nations fixtures with the Scots.
In the past, the clash between the two perennial Six Nations strugglers would have been a contest watched on and off between the wife's soapies before the main event – in this instance being England's Grand Slam quest against Ireland.
However, this year is a bit different and I for one have already taken the liberty of hiring the box set of Desperate Housewives to keep the other half busy whilst the match in Edinburgh unfolds.
As a neutral, it's very hard to choose which team I'd like to see prevail.
Bar Italy's thumping defeat to England and Scotland's hiccup against Wales, both sides have been in pretty good shape against the rest of their respective opposition this year with the Italians' historic win over France propelling them into the lime light.
It was the hosts' first ever Six Nations win against the French, whose championship hopes are all but in tatters following a second successive defeat. For Italy the stunning and dogged performance – and arguably the biggest result in the country's history – will have banished memories of their 59-13 capitulation at Twickenham earlier this season.
It also came as just reward for the hard work of head coach Nick Mallett, who has helped fashion an increasingly formidable Italian outfit. Now, Italy must follow up their stunning upset against France with another win against Scotland.
Italy currently lie fifth in the standings, two points clear of winless Scotland, who ran England close at Twickenham on Sunday before losing 22-16. Last weekend's display in the defeat to England saw aspects of Scotland's game back at their best, but a misfiring line-out and a struggling scrum meant a first win at Twickenham since 1983 remained elusive.
Scotland entered the tournament on a run of five wins in six Tests, but go into the final weekend at the wrong end of the table after four defeats from four games. And head coach Andy Robinson knows his side face a difficult task on Saturday as his team seek to avoid finishing bottom of the table for the first time since 2007.
"Whether they beat France or not, the performances they've had this year have been pretty consistent," he said.
"I see them very much like Scotland. They're a team that has been improving and have been able to play with a lot more width.
"They certainly have the physicality in their game and they've been really unlucky not to have won the three home matches this year.
"We know that this is going to be another very good Test match. What we need to do is be able to look after ourselves, play for that 80 minutes and finish a game.
"We haven't been able to win games because we haven't been good enough and that's what we've got to look at."
So will it be the Scots or Italians stirring the losers pot with their wooden spoon after 80 minutes? It will be a shame for brave Scotland to end the campaign without a win, but on the other hand it will also be a tragedy if Italy finished bottom yet again after one of their most memorable tournaments in history.
Tough one.
Ones to watch:
For Scotland: Scotland's scrum has been under pressure in the tournament and will line up against a formidable Italy pack. They must claim at least parity up front against the Azzurri and allow their backs to prosper in the wide expanses of Murrayfield. That was one reason Geoff Cross was selected to win his fifth cap, but his first start for two years, in an all-Edinburgh front row.
For Italy: Andrea Masi was named man of the match in Italy's victory over France and has for many years been a powerful and committed element in the Italy team. Having been surprisingly selected at full-back against Les Bleus, his runs from deep with ball in hand did much to help the Italians break the gain-line and put the French on the back foot. His team-mates will be hoping for more of the same come kick-off at Murrayfield.
Head to head: The line-out. Scotland's aerial battle – as well as their scrum – must function at their peak against Italy. England put the Scots' tall timber under huge pressure last time out and Italy's jumpers Carlo Antonio Del Fava, Quintin Geldenhuys and Sergio Parisse will be out to do the same.
Previous results:
2010: Italy won 16-12, Rome
2009: Scotland won 26-6, Edinburgh
2008: Italy won 23-20, Rome
2007: Scotland won 18-16, St Etienne (World Cup)
2007: Italy won 37-17, Edinburgh
2006: Scotland won 13-10, Rome
2005: Scotland won 18-10, Edinburgh
2004: Italy won 20-14, Rome
2003: Scotland won 47-15, Edinburgh
2003: Scotland won 33-25, Edinburgh
Prediction: Italy have won at Murrayfield before, claiming a famous 37-17 victory in February 2007, and will need a similar performance to earn the points they need. The Azzurri will have to show the same determination and aggressiveness displayed against France, and dominate from a physical standpoint if they are to win. However, we feel the changes coach Nick Mallett made were unneccasary and will only disrupt a winning formula. Scotland to win by the smallest of margins!
The teams:
Scotland: 15 Chris Paterson, 14 Simon Danielli, 13 Joe Ansbro, 12 Sean Lamont, 11 Nikki Walker, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Rory Lawson, 8 Kelly Brown, 7 John Barclay, 6 Nathan Hines, 5 Alastair Kellock (c), 4 Richie Gray, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Scott Lawson, 17 Euan Murray, 18 Richie Vernon, 19 Alasdair Strokosch, 20 Mike Blair, 21 Dan Parks, 22 Nick De Luca.
Italy: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Tommaso Benvenuti, 13 Gonzalo Canale, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Mirco Bergamasco, 10 Kris Burton, 9 Fabio Semenzato, 8 Sergio Parisse, 7 Paul Derbyshire, 6 Alessandro Zanni, 5 Carlo Antonio Del Fava, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Salvatore Perugini.
Replacements: 16 Carlo Festuccia, 17 Andrea Lo Cicero, 18 Valerio Bernabo, 19 Robert Barbieri, 20 Pablo Canavosio, 21 Luciano Orquera, 22 Luke McLean.
