Are they nuts?

As Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish likes to say, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."
Fans can only assume, then, MacTavish and bosses Kevin Lowe and GM Steve Tambellini have seen enough in the wake of a 6-4 loss to the Calgary Flames on the final day of 2008 to understand they need to make a deal or maybe two before we get very deep into 2009. That, or check into a rubber room.
MacTavish's 29th-ranked killing units were abysmal yet again in Cowtown as the Flames powerplay lit them up for three goals in five attempts. No matter who MacTavish throws over the boards, it's like sending somebody to fight a fire armed with a can of gasoline.
Hand in hand with that miserable performance, MacTavish's centres got schooled in the face-off circles again. The All-Thumbs Unit of Shawn Horcoff, Andrew Cogliano, Sam Gagner and Kyle Brodziak went 25-40 on the dot for 38 per cent (including 7-23 in the defensive zone).
Neither of these issues is stop the presses stuff.
Enough is enough
"We've got to find a way, or find some new guys that can kill penalties," an exasperated MacTavish said after his men in the middle and the PK soiled their straight-jackets again.
"It's been an aspect in our game from the start of the year and it's gone poorly from the start. We can't clear the puck when we need to. Somebody's got to step up and try to kill penalties or we're going to have to try and find somebody that can."
To be fair to the ATU, the Oilers feeble penalty-killing record doesn't rest solely with the pivots. That said, lost face-offs and lack of puck possession play a big part in it.
The biggest difference between this season and 2007-08, when the team was ranked fifth on the PK, is the Oilers have lost two key face-off men and penalty killers in Jarret Stoll and Marty Reasoner.
Stoll, shipped to Los Angeles with Matt Greene for Lubomir Visnovsky, is ticking right along with the Kings. He's ranked seventh in face-off percentage at 57.6. Reasoner, with Atlanta, is ranked 49th at 50.3.
By the numbers
Horcoff, ranked 36th, remains the Oilers best face-off man at 51.8 overall despite a hideous mark of 8-16 on a night he'd rather forget Wednesday. After Horcoff, it gets thin.
Brodziak, the only pivot to break even in Cowtown at 9-9, is rated 55th at 49.9. Gagner is 118-148 for 44.4 per cent. Cogliano is 107-179 for 37.4 per cent. Say no more.
So here we are. The aforementioned centres continue to work with assistant coach Bill Moores on face-offs after practice. They go through buckets and buckets of pucks on a daily basis. They're trying to get the hang of it, but the results speak for themselves.
At some point, as MacTavish said Wednesday, personnel trumps practice and the faces have to change.
Good and cheap
If I was Lowe, I'd be picking up the phone and putting the arm on old friend and confident Scott Howson in Columbus and inquiring about what it might take to get Manny Malhotra.
I can't think of too many reasons why I'd want a former first-round flop like Malhotra (seventh overall in 1998) on my roster, but there's no question the 28-year-old journeyman has an element the Oilers need.
When it comes to face-offs, Malhotra isn't only good -- he sits fifth in the NHL with a face-off percentage of 58.6 -- he's earning a relatively modest $1.5 million this season as he heads into unrestricted free agency.
Malhotra is 286-202 in face-offs overall, and he's a demon on the dot when the Blue Jackets are shorthanded. On shorthanded face-offs, Malhotra is 54-36. The other thing worth noting is he's better on the road at 59.5 per cent than he is at home, 57.6 per cent.
Pull the trigger
You'd think an efficient, inexpensive player like Malhotra and a chance to address face-offs and penalty killing might be worth a call from Lowe or Tambellini. Maybe -- again, I'm assuming evidence of this fatal flaw down the middle is sufficiently obvious -- the call has already been made. I'll try to find out in coming days.
In any case, even if it's a long shot, it's a far more attractive and likely proposition than trying to lure Stoll back from the sunny sands of Newport Beach or watching the ATU get schooled.
The way I see it, Moores can dump rubber on the dot until his right arm falls off and MacTavish can diagram the penalty kill until the cows come home, but it won't make a difference.
A trade will. Or, at least, might.
Blah. Faceoff % is a minor piece of the puzzle.
Doesnt Calgary have one of the worst faceoff % in the league. Yet their PK is in top 5.
Im pretty sure it goes beyond that.
What about an even cheaper fix???
Yanic Perrault would come even cheaper and is a faceoff and PK specialist. He could "mentor" our younger players as well.
Oates got alot of credit for showing our younger guys how to win faceoffs - maybe Perrault would be able to do the same???
@ CurtisS:
But when it's not working - you have to look at all the elements - and face-offs are definitely a problem...
Is that you Szafron?
@ rindog: Yes, he's another possibility and, based on past performance, maybe one of the better options. My point is it's possible to get a player who fits a need without having to orchestrate a big trade or spend wads of money.
And Curtis . . . Blah? You're not paying attention. What the Flames do and how they do it is distinctly different than what plagues the Oilers. If you don't think face-offs are a significant part of the PK problem here, you're mistaken.
January 01 2009, 12:43PM
Sweet Jesus, is there any way to move Steve Staios? He looks like he spent his off-season lighting it up in Vegas and he's waiting for the stupor to wear off. I think rolling him out there 20 odd minutes a night isn't helping the PK or 5-on-5 either. I suspect moving his unfavourable contract will be almost as difficult as making the head coach accountable.
@ hockeysmack:
100% agree!!!
Staios should be getting 13-14 minutes/game (if any).
We have 4 guys that can log a significant amount of minutes. There is no reason why Staios has to play so much (other than the teacher's pet theory).
It's the same reason why Moreau is out on the ice with the extra attacker against Ottawa???
January 01 2009, 01:09PM
The teacher's pet thing is more than a theory. How else can you explain why MacT's favourites manage to get fat, ridiculous contract extensions while players with offensive potential get run out of town? Please explain how Moreau, Horcoff, Staios and Pisani are worth their respective contract extensions? Nice frigging core.
January 01 2009, 01:15PM
Love the suggestion of Malhotra - he's a good, cheap, responsible forward who can handle defensive assignments.
As for Perreault, he's not a penalty-killer. Here are his average minutes per game on the PK the last few seasons:
2007-08 - 0.43 2006-07 - 0.24 2005-06 - 0.08
He's soft, a defensive liability, and he's never been used on the PK. In other words, I don't think he's remotely what this team needs.
Malhotra's a better player, but one possibility (who the Oilers could have for free) is Chris Gratton. He's tough, is better than 60% at faceoffs, has been used as a penalty-killer every year since the lockout, and adds size to boot.
January 01 2009, 01:16PM
i would contend that it isn't so much a matter of winning face-offs but recovering possession once at has been lost... for the most part, the oilers are too small to get the puck back after its gone. this team needs a few decent grinders (or one awesome power forward) that can throw a shoulder and work the boards to recover possession more than it needs a middling face-off specialist to take up a roster spot.
forget Perrault and Malholtra, bring back Smyth.
@ Robin B
"You're not paying attention. What the Flames do and how they do it is distinctly different than what plagues the Oilers. If you don't think face-offs are a significant part of the PK problem here, you're mistaken"
Well why keep playing a system that allows us to fail. If I got one of the worst f/o % in the league lets adjust to a different pk system. Calgary does. Why cant we.
I think its part of the problem just a small piece.
@ Noel
You know who you are.
January 01 2009, 01:17PM
For the record:
Steve Staios currently ranks 5th among the Oilers top-six defenseman in average time on ice at 18:03. I'd argue Smid should be ahead of him (13:43), but it's not like MacTavish is bumping Gilbert or Souray to make room for Staios.
January 01 2009, 01:25PM
That doesn't mean it isn't 18 largely wasted minutes taken up by a player who has a hard time clearing the zone or front of the net or handling the puck right now. Oh well, only 2 more years at a $2.7 million cap hit after this year. That's money well spent.
January 01 2009, 01:29PM
@ hockeysmack:
It's a bad contract. It was reasonable money when Staios signed it, but the term was too long. Moreau was getting 2-million a season when comparable players were getting 1.25-1.5M; the mistake was compounded by the contract's length.
Staios is fine as a bottom-pairing defender. The problem is that he's getting paid like a top-4 option.
January 01 2009, 01:30PM
@ hockeysmack:
How would you order the defense by time on ice? Personally, I'd go:
1. Visnovsky/Souray 3. Gilbert 4. Grebeshkov 5. Smid 6. Staios
January 01 2009, 01:37PM
BTW, faceoff percentages for Oilers with more than 100 draws:
Horcoff - 51.8% Brodziak - 49.9% Pouliot - 49.6% Gagner - 44.4% Pisani - 41.7% Cogliano - 37.4%
@ hockeysmack:
What the overall TOI ice stat fail to mention is that is predominately the PP time that seperates the dmen's icetimes.
If we just look at regular strength icetime for Oilers Dmen:
Visnovsky: 17:54 Gilbert: 16:06 Souray: 16:01 Grebeshkov: 16:01 Staios: 14:05 Smid: 12:35
Do we really want Staios on the ice for only a couple of minutes (shifts) less than our top 4 guys??
January 01 2009, 01:48PM
I agree with your ordering, particularly with Smid's improved play and Staios skating like my 57-year-old dad. I'm also hopeful Jason Strudwick will take a seat in the pressbox soon, and not return either as a forward or d-man. As you referred to earlier, the terms of the contract extensions are ugly; Horcoff taking up that $5.5 million in cap space at 35 and 36 years old is not a good thing. Rewarding good soliders with these kinds of extensions is only a positive if your team has been, you know, successful.
January 01 2009, 02:23PM
Does the owner,management or players care about this team? Everyone outside the organization is looking for a trade or change yet we are faced with the same old status quo what gives? Are we going to turn into the old Maple Leafs? A full hockey arena,great fans and a owner and management that think they can do what they want, because we will still be there win or lose, we just keep getting more and more frustrared!!! somebody do something before it is to late and we can say good bye to another season!!!
@ Jonathan Willis: Gonna try to slip Gratton in again, eh?
Gratton's ON-ICE resume in not without merit, given the Oilers needs. Then again, Joni Pitkanen's ON-ICE resume is not without merit, either. Get my drift?

Robin, you're not going to break into the Jason Gregor speech about how Chris Gratton would cut into the development of Kyle Bordziak are you? Other than that, are you implying that Gratton's commitment is a little sketchy?
January 01 2009, 03:33PM
Lowetide has a great post along the same lines. He is throwing out Mike Sillinger.
Somehow when I think of Oiler trades I get the feeling they are looking big ... like Kovalchuk big ... even though a little PK specialist pick me up is really what is needed. And long overdue.
January 01 2009, 03:49PM
@ RobinB:
I follow. Slowly, it's true, but I follow.
January 01 2009, 04:07PM
I think the oilers should look for someone younger that can fill the needed role with this team long term while also having an offensive upside.
I think the Oilers should be looking at pending RFA Brandon Dubinsky of the NYR.
At 22yrs old and 6'1 205lbs, he may not be a monster center but he plays big. He leads all NHL centers with 106 hits, he is also 50.8% in the dot. Not bad for a 22 yr old.
The Oilers have a gluttony of undersized offensive forwards trying to crack the top 9 and one extra D.
I would suggest a package that would send a d and a smaller forward for Dubinsky
What I would think would be the more attractive offer to the Rangers would be Eric Cole.
Cole is a NY native with playoff experience. He is an UFA so his cap hit would only be on the books for the remainder of the year. He could help NYR down the stretch and could find his game again in NY as he plays for a contract.
I would think NYR will struggle to be able to sign Dubinsky with such heavy contracts already doled out to Gomez and Drury down the middle.
I would rather see the Oilers do a deal that is good for the long term development of this team, that continues the youth movement in our front 9 and adds some size to one of our top three lines.
Dubinsky has Jam, is better than average in the dot and has size. What more do the Oilers need in a center?
January 01 2009, 04:16PM
@ Fiveandagame: If Dubinsky has all this going for him, why again wouldn't the Rangers find a way to keep him instead of moving him? And if the argument is the Ranger cap situation will force them to move him, how exactly can they recieve any salary back in exchange for him? I guess I'm trying to say I don't see it happening, and sure as hell not for Cole.
January 01 2009, 04:31PM
@ hockeysmack: The rangers also said they could make room for Sundin if he chose to sign there, so I am thinking some wheeling and dealing could be done for them to handle Cole's 4 mil cap hit.
The Rangers also only have 6 players signed for next year. They won't be able to sign all of them and Dubinsky is in line for a big pay raise. They have to resign Zherdev is playing at a point per game pace among a long list of RFA/UFA's. We may have to take on more Salary from one of their D for someone like Grebs whose cap hit is small considering his minutes played to make this deal work. It becomes a multiplayer deal but it is not out of the question.
@ Dan T: Really? And Brind'Amour( and his $3.6 million cap hit) can be had for the overrated Brule based on what information?
i like Phillips and Vermette for Gilbert and Moreau plus a minor leaguer.
January 01 2009, 07:28PM
@ Dan T: Rod Brind'Amour, at 38, 3.6 mil and a Joffery Lupul esque -26 just 38 games into the season?
He wins face offs, I'll give you that.

I've been perplexed ever since he was waived as to why the Oil would not take a flyer on him, as he fill a couple of glaring deficiencies, now I know. Thanks for the scoop Robin.
January 01 2009, 08:07PM
@ mjsh: Gilbert and Moreau give you way more. First you don't take your captain out of your line up who plays harder...and yes he does take penalties but he works extremely hard and chips in when he can. Give Gilbert a chance to prove himself...he did it last year and could easily do it again once he gets going. Your two guys are good i'll give you that but they are a lot of the same...we need a change that is effective immmediatly
@ ramped up: Moreau is too close to the end. Vermette and Phillips give the Oilers the penalty killers they must have, grit and a shut down d man that they do not have. This is what they are missing. Yes, Gilbert is decent but you have to give up something to get something.
Without the grit, the Oilers are not going to make the playoffs.
January 01 2009, 08:12PM
Lets remember that our best player was out for two games and what happened??? I guarandamntee you if S-Mac was in the line up Tootoo doesn't hit Hemmer and we win one of those 2 games. We need to get S-Mac back and Hemmer, shore up some pk specialist and get rid of a goalie...sounds easy!!
I'm weary of the new collective bargaining agreement. I keep WAITING for a trade that may never happen...I'm sure disappointed fans in many other markets are going through the same thing. Will there ever be any movement? Fact is, KLowe, some media people, and fans like myself figured the Oilers were going to be a solid team that would contend for the division... I said myself, in the offseason, that this team would have what it takes to win... or if not pieces were in place to tinker with the lineup. We were all mistaken BIG TIME. Worst thing is, the contracts have been signed, commitments have been made: This is your team Edmonton: Small, inconsistant, overrated, and generally boring to watch. This isn't a rant; This is an acceptance speech.
January 01 2009, 09:06PM
I'm glad we took that year off so we could make the game better...Yeesh!!

That would be a swell way to continue to inflate the team payroll with declining, overpaid veterans. Sweet, only 2 years left on that deal after this year! The only way I'd be for that deal is if Garon and Staios were going the other way, which seems extremely unlikely.
January 01 2009, 10:03PM
Just want to point out that the "Dan T" who posted above...using 630CHED.com as their web site no less...is not me.
Flattered, though.
@ Robin
The Oilers miss Stoll and Reasoner clearly on the dot and PK. Reasoner had to go, I don't think we needed to see another year of extra attack time given to Reasoner, but it got worse it went to Moreau and now 1st line time to Reddox, I see a pattern... but back on topic. The other element is Greene, Stoll, and Reasoner played around 3 SH minutes a night. The 'brain trust' didn't replace them. They didn't replace the FO ability. They didn't replace the PK ability (shot blocking hustle and hoockey sense). They also didn't replace the toughness.
Toughness provided for infront of the net... Greene is gone and Smid (who plays tough) is down in SH minutes. Grebeshokov plays more a PK role now and Strudwick ate some minutes, be admittedly he's no Greene either. Also, Pitkanen's wasn't replaced either. Now debate his heart, but he couldrag the puck as well. Now no one does.
Now I agree their needs to be a change of personel, but there was nothing wrong with the old personel.
More importantly, I always hear how the fan overrates the players. Short said it amongst others. Let me be clear, no one overrates the players abilities more than the Oilers staff. Need proof? Reddox on the first line. Peterson experiement. Making checkers scorers and trying to make scorers checkers. Horcoff a 'first line center' (clearly a 2-3 if even a 2 making 1st line money). Poloson overpayment. Pisani overpayment. Gilbert overpayment. Losing trades for Weight, for Pronger, Pitkanen for a UFA in Cole who is not a fit for the MacT system (not unlike Lupul or Sykora). Sestito call up, oveplaying/paying Staios, signing Penner and losing 3 low draft picks in a deep draft (crap shoot? only if you are poor at your job). They've created a passive and soft and easy to play against team with a lack of a genuine leader (Moreau, Staios, Horcoff, Souray have done what?).
Change of personel? I'm all for it. Lowe, Pendergast (I won't go into he drafting), MacTavish (love the 4th line offensive zone faceoffs and the blender), Huddy (love the 1st line with the 3rd pair), Moores, Buchberger especially, and Pete "I destroy goalies" Peters. This is what they built. Then let qualified personel in Tambo and his new staff put their fingerprints on this team, Lowe and Co. have hand their 3 chances.
You reap what you sow.
@ Dan Tencer: I didn't think for a moment somebody has beaten you senseless with the stupid stick.
So, "Dan T," don't come around here pretending to be somebody else. Jackass.
January 01 2009, 11:41PM
does that mean i cant pretend to be Joey Moss any more?
@ Joey Moss: You're not Joey Moss?
Look at RB using stats!!
Sniff, sniff, he's growing up!!
It's nice to see that Some people are coming around to the fact we don't need to make a big trade to right the ship and let's see if you can follow along:
27-10-83 - tough minutes 12-89-26 - soft minutes 78-?-34 - secondary tough min; 78-34 have shown some ice chem in the past so let's augment them. Malholtra would be nice but there could be someone else there that could do the job. 18-51-? - at this point all Ethan Moreau should be doing is push-ups and sit-ups to motivate out-of-shape kids. But we'll keep him on the 4th line so that he can tell stories and also because you most likely can't move his salary.
The two question marks are guys that need to be acquired that can kill penalties; one of them has to be able to win a faceoff and the other can just be a PK guy. I've throw out Boyd Devereaux's name as a guy that's just in the minors wasting and there has to be someone else out there.
And the first person in the org who says we can't pick up minor league vets because of the 50 contract rule should be tarred and feathered.
Note: maybe another way to go is if we have enough cap room left to take on a bad expiring contract of a fellow who can fill the PK role.

Here, here Chris... couldn't have said it better myself!!
Lowe was saying the new NHL would be a fast skilled league after the lockout. That is the plan he has used to build this team. He must of watched too many of the "Charmin" commercials, as this team plays like a bunch of soft pansies. Some one should inform the players that NHL does not stand for No Hit League!! I just wish that any Oil player with a oppurtunity to take someone out along the boards would do it. Every one else does. You dont have to "kill" the guy, just eliminate him from the play for a few moments. Even PK takeouts behind our net, knock the damn guy down! You are never out of position if you do that. Dmen too soft around the net, forwards collapsing down to the circles and no FO superiority whatsoever. Surely someone out there is willing to trade a 3rd. or 4th. line specialist for Nillson. Especially if they are in need of some"potential" offence. This team has too many soft and small playing players. Hello management? Where are you? Quit blowing smoke up our butts about talent and start looking for a way to get the pieces we need or else it will be another 5 years before this team is a threat

The Scotland under-18 season is the culmination of Scottish Rugby's under-16, under-17 and under-18 programmes.
As a transition between the under-17 and under-18 programmes, identified players take part in a national development camp, which has been held for the last few years in Valladolid in Spain, in July. The focus of the camp is to expose the players to a professional environment, providing them with a greater understanding of what is required to perform at the highest level while improving their ability to take responsibility for their own development. On the pitch the emphasis is on individual and position specific skills while off the field players are exposed to a number of high performance cultures including goal setting, video analysis, strength and conditioning, performance nutrition and hydrating strategies.
Following the camp, a series of regional and national selection fixtures, training weekends and home internationals take place throughout the year, culminating in the Rugby Championship Justin Bridou Elite Division championship.
In 2012, the squad attained fifth place in Europe and this season finished the tournament, held in Grenoble, in fourth place, beating Wales in their opening match.
Prior to the 2015 Championship, Scotland played two warm-up games against England and Ireland Schools. The first of the ties, at Kingston Park, Newcastle, was fiercely competitve with England pulling away in the later stages of the game to produce a 39-27 victory. A fotnight later, the Dark Blues reversed their fortunes with a 21-13 victory over their Irish counterparts at Mayfield, Dundee.
Scotland went down 39-15 to England under-18s in Stirling in March ahead of the International Series in Wales.
In the opening game of the 5 Nations tournament in Swansea Scotland lost 31-30 to Wales under-18s, before Ireland under-18s came out on top 43-0 in their second fixture.

text: Assigning Words of Blessing to a Child I came across on the Internet a touching story that illustrates the importance of bringing light and life to the relationships around us. It's a true story, told by Sister Helen P. Mrosia, a nun who teaches in Catholic school. It's about one of her students named Mark, and here is the story in her own words. "We had worked hard on a new concept all week, maybe a little too hard, and on Friday the students were frowning, frustrated with themselves and edgy with one another. I wanted to stop this crankiness before it got out of hand, so I gave the class a break from their math. Instead, I asked them to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving space between each name. Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the papers. That Saturday I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper. Then I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" I heard whispered. "I never knew that meant anything to anyone!" "I didn't know others liked me so much!" No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again. The group of students moved on, and so did I to another state and school. Several years later, I returned home for a vacation. My parents met me at the airport. As we were driving home, Mother asked me the usual questions about the trip-the weather, my experiences in general. Then there was a lull in the conversation. Mother gave Dad a sideways glance and said, "Dad?" My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important. "The Eklunds called last night," he began. "Really?" I said. "I haven't heard from them in years. I wonder how Mark is." He was one of the most talkative students I'd had – and he was in the room the day I had everyone write down what they liked about their classmates. My father responded quietly. "Mark was killed in Vietnam," he said. "The funeral is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend." I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with Mark's friends. Chuck's sister sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The pastor spoke and shared several meaningful prayers, and then an Army bugler played taps. One by one those of us who loved Mark took a last walk by the coffin. As I stood there, one of the soldiers who had served as pallbearer came up to me. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. I nodded as I continued to stare at the coffin. "Mark talked about you a lot," he said. After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's mother and father were there, waiting for me. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it." Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. "Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it." Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled sheepishly and said, "I still have a list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home." Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album" "I have mine, too," Marylin said. "It's in my diary." Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet, and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times... I think we all saved our lists." That's when I finally sat down and cried. I cried for Mark. And for all his friends who would never see him again." Can you see how words of blessing keep on blessing? A teacher who touched the life of a student touched the lives of the student's friends and the student's parents and who knows how many others. That is what's so wonderful about living the blessing. The blessing keeps living. Touching lives across the world, across the generations, and into eternity. Choosing to live the blessing is one of the most important decisions we can make with our lives. It begins with choosing Christ. And who knows where it will end… or what wonderful things will happen in our life and the lives of others as well… Attachment Posted on Thu, January 17, 2013 by Dr. John Trent filed under Teachers Who Bless Click here to read my Comments Policy As you know, Web 2.0 is all about the conversation.

By now, most people have heard of Mozilla Firefox. Many are already using it. For those that haven't heard, Mozilla Firefox is a popular Internet browser in direct competition with Microsoft's ubiquitous Internet Explorer. But many people don't realize how versatile the Firefox truly is - or perhaps how versatile it can become.
Although many features are worth mention, one of the greatest features found inside Firefox is its ability to extend its appearance and functionality through the use of addons.
Addons are categorized into two major groups - themes and extensions. Themes change the look and appearance of the browser. This includes things like icons, toolbar and menu backgrounds, menu item colors and so on. Extensions, in comparison, provide Firefox with additional functionality. Some provide completely new features and others build upon existing functionality. And the Mozilla Foundation has made it very easy for users to browse, find and install addons (themes or extensions) through their official addons site.
To browse through all of the available Firefox extensions and themes, run Firefox. Click in the location bar, type https://addons.mozilla.org/ and hit Enter.
Suppose you want to install a new theme. Once the Mozilla Addons site loads, find the navigation menu on the left. Locate and click on the themes link under the Browse section. A list of theme categories should display momentarily. From here, browse through the list of available themes.
Once a desirable theme is found, click on the theme. On the individual theme page, find the "Install Now" link in the green box. A software installation box will appear, asking for verification that you want to continue with the installation. Click "install" to download and install the theme.
After the theme has been installed, it must be selected or activated before it can be used. At the top of the screen, click "Tools" and then "Addons." An addons box should appear. Click on the themes icon (if the default Firefox theme is already selected, it's a paint palette icon). Select the new theme in the list and click on the "Use Theme" button. Now that the theme is selected, close Firefox completely and start it up again. The theme should now be in use and Firefox should look different than it had previously.
If the theme is unsatisfactory, either visit the addons site and pick a different theme, or click "Tools" and then "Addons". In the addons box, click the theme icon (typically, the painter's palette icon), click on the "Firefox (default)" theme and then click the "Use Theme" button. Once Firefox has been restarted, it will look like it did before any new themes were added.
Extensions are installed the same way; however, unlike themes they don't require activation. Once Firefox has been restarted after an extension has been installed, the extension is active.
Another benefit of extensions is that they can be customized to look or behave differently. To customize an extension, click on "Tools" then on "Addons." Once the addons box appears, click on the extensions icon (typically a puzzle piece). Select the extension that needs to be customized. Then click the "Preferences" or "Options" button (which ever is visible). Be aware, however, that not all extensions are customizable.
In summary, Mozilla Firefox's extensibility and flexibility make it a very worthy Internet browser and handy companion to the all Internet users alike. Those that have been using it may find it does more than they realized. Those that haven't might consider giving it a try. It can be downloaded, free of charge, from http://www.mozilla.com.

Holiday shoppers return to stores for more deals
After taking a day off from holiday shopping yesterday, many residents across our region are back in stores today looking for more deals.
Some store managers say today is just as busy as the day before Christmas.
Many residents filled stores to get ready for next year's holiday.
Hundreds of shoppers packed the Target in Richland to buy discounted wrapping paper, greeting cards and boxes and bows for next year's Christmas.
And of course, lots of people hit the stores to return gifts.
There was almost a non-stop line for returns at the Richland Target.
Some shoppers say they want to return their unwanted or unneeded gifts as soon as possible, so they can do some more shopping.
"I bought too many stocking stuffers, and that's my MO. So I decided to take them back" said Carmen Sawyer, who returned gifts today.
"Fairly good deals. 50% off mostly everything Christmassy. So now is the time to save some money for next year" said Cheri Walters, shopper.
The store managers we spoke with say although a lot of people are coming in for deals on discounted Christmas decorations, most of their traffic today is from returns.

Pelavin: "No mother should ever have to face the inestimable hardship of losing her husband and children in one instant, nor should parents have to mourn the loss of a child. "
Contact Sean Thibault or Molly Benoit
Washington, D.C., March 19, 2012: In response to the tragic shooting at the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse, France, this morning, Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, released the following statement:
"We stand in shock, sadness, and solidarity with the Jewish community of Toulouse, France. The unprovoked attack that occurred at the Ozar Hatorah school is a tragedy for the families and friends of the victims, but it is tragedy for us as well. We say, Kol Yisrael areivim zeh la-zeh (all Jews are responsible for one another, and we share the pain of our brothers and sisters half a world away.
The expectation of a school being a safe haven has once again been shattered. This violent act has already taken four lives, a rabbi and his two children and the daughter of the Ozar Hatorah school principal, and the life of a 17-year old boy currently hangs in the balance. No mother should ever have to face the inestimable hardship of losing her husband and children in one instant, nor should parents have to mourn the loss of a child.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and survivors. As we embrace those families, we urgently hope for an end to the violence in Southern France, which has also taken the lives of three French soldiers in the last 10 days. In a world of rich and diverse religious and ethnic traditions, let us lift up our differences and accept the notion that a peaceful coexistence is attainable across the globe.
As we go through our daily lives, it is often easy to feel as though hatred against Jews has been eliminated; this senseless attack is jarring and an all-too-real reminder that the ugly blight of anti-Semitism still thrives. France is home to an estimated 600,000 Jews, the largest Jewish community in Europe. There have been a number of anti-Semitic attacks in recent years, including the desecration of a Jewish cemetery in Strasbourg with swastikas, an arson attack at the Merkaz Hatorah school in Gagny, and the brutal kidnapping, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man from Paris.
We are confident in the commitment shown by the French government in addressing this national tragedy and wait for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. We utter a prayer of healing, a Mi Sheberach, for the survivors and, with our French brothers and sisters, Jewish and otherwise, we pray that one day violence will cease and peace shall be the cry heard throughout all nations."

A serious racing shoe with underfoot protection for longer distances, the Nike Zoom Streak 4 provides moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
The Nike Zoom Streak 4 is designed for the serious half to full marathon runner. Well cushioned, yet streamlined, this shoe has a thin mesh upper for great breathability and a lightweight feel. The responsive platform includes zoom air in the heel for cushioning over long distances. Good for road racing and up tempo training.
Sizing Note: Men's sizes only. Fits small. Men should order 1/2 size larger than standard running shoe size. Women should order 1 size smaller than standard running shoe size.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.1 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (29mm), Forefoot (18mm), non-removable insole
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Zoom Streak 4 is a moderate feature, minimum neutral racing shoe designed for 5k to marathon distances.
Comments: I've had at least 10 pairs of the version 3, and 2 of the version 4. I had to purchase one half size up in the 4's. Be warned - the issue is that the length of the toebox was scaled back between models. The uppers of the version 4 do not hold up like the version 3 Zoom Streak. The uppers rip out on the inside just above the top of the arch of the insole. Both shoes of each pair ripped between 50 and 100 miles of wear. However, the rip does not seem to significantly impact the fit and feel of the shoe. They remain secure and responsive. The new tread does tend to last longer but on cold days it is stiffer than the rubber used on the 3's and you'll notice a bit more "click" or "tap" sound at the footfall. The fit is similar (for me) to the version 3 except it seems to have a slight amount more midfoot protection/absorption - I won't say cushion as this is a great racing flat/lightweight trainer - and not a shoe you should try if you are looking for cushion. It is a fast shoe for 10K & up (roads). Given a choice on marathon day, I'll break out a pair of Zoom Streak 3's from my reserve, but once they are gone, I'll opt for the version 4 - unless Nike corrects the issues and makes the version 5 similar to the version 3!
From: Paul, Ohio, US
Comments: The shoe is quite heel unstable and that might not be a problem for road racing. on the other hand the cushoning is excellent. Anyway, I must express my disappointment since after 200km the inside mesh tore (looks like nike did those yellow horizontal cuts to ease the task), after 250km the external did the same and the shoe just wobbles on your feet. At least they don't have the extremely high arch like the streak 3. Still, I'm back to my adios 2, 20grams heavier but at least they're properly built, grippier and fit better.
From: Gabriele, Milan, Italy
Comments: Well,I have run 2 marathons in these with PRs and did a back to back marathon with these shoes which fitted well. These shoes are not for everyone; I have the streak 3s and they are different but i like the the 4s better. If you have feet just narrower than regular then these might be good i think. Its sad that i moved down south and my feet have swollen from the hot temperatures so Im sad i cannot wear them for my upcoming marathons.
From: Luke, Fort Riley, KS, USA
Comments: If you were a fan of the Streak 3, prepare to be disappointed. I went through two pairs of the 3 before finding, to my dismay, that there were no pairs left in my size. So I decided to try the 4. And, in typical Nike fashion, everything that was good in the 3 was not to be found in the 4. Gone was the no frills upper of the 3 that could accommodate my wide foot. The 4 also added more overlays which created a nasty hotspot on my first metatarsal head. And, as if it couldn't get any worse, the yellow mesh panel on the side of the shoe has ripped after only 50 miles of running. Nike, you have lost my seal of approval yet again.
From: Anon, Anytown, USA
Comments: Could not find any reviews or videos on this so I decided to see how they were myself. The shoe is a good flat, only ran 7 miles max in them and didn't have any problem. A wider mid-foot part than the zoom streak 3 so its a bit more comfortable. Nice and responsive also so if you have a wide foot than don't get these, but i hope they hold well on my marathon.
From: Luke, Fort Drum, NY, USA

Skip to comments.George Tiller (Child Murderer) shot to death at Wichita church
Posted on 05/31/2009 9:35:48 AM PDT by Kansas58
Kansas Abortionist George Tiller was shot today as he was going to Church.
(Excerpt) Read more at kansas.com ...
The suspect fled the scene and authorities are still investigating. His car is described as a powder blue or light blue Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. He is described as a white male in his 50s or 60s, 61, 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
You didn't know that damning someone to hell is God's prerogative until I told you?
Democrats wait for tragedy to enact weapon legislationYes. I saw that thread. And this 'shooting tragedy' could likely be it. Tomorrow's news shows will be full of left wingers demanding new laws.
We don't know that it was someone connected with prolife that did this and if it were; they had to be a nutjob.
..yet you would allow the murder of those same children if they were a result of rape or incest. Quackery.
As far as we know, but yes, agreed.
This is an open forum. You post, anyone who wishes may respond.
Awful lot of wink and a nod support here for a cold blooded murderer.
We're better than this. Some of us, anyway.
I agree. We have got to stop allowing the left to set the parameters by succumbing to their blackmail. And we have seen how just how far we will get "through the legal system". The most pro-baby murder president ever has just been elected, and he is going to put pro-baby murder justices on the Supreme Court. The enemy will continue their push for baby murder, murder of the elderly, right on up to murder of "useless mouths" of any kind, while we continue to be held hostage by what they might say about us.
No, looks to me like you've got a greater need, only over which orifice I'll leave you free to choose, seeing as there isn't any apparent difference in its outfall.
I didn't see him mention Mormons. Why did you?
This is a public forum. If you don't like people responding to your posts, don't post them.
Are you scolding me?
Where did I EVER applaud this action?
I said it was predictable, and that it was understandable, but I also said it was the wrong action to take.
When someone on the LEFT does something crazy, you do not see Lefty leaders apologizing for that action, do you?
I did not command, did not assist, did not authorize, did not endorse, did not encourage, did not conspire, and do not support the shooting of abortionists.
However, I DO know that when our government strips the people of the power to govern themselves ——
Violence is predictable and inevitable.
Once again, why aren't you protecting the innocents from murder?
This murder of Dr. Tiller is wrong.
Having said that, Dr. Tiller has met his Creator.
You don't have to smell poop to know that it stinks.
I'm asking you that question.
Will Obama attend the funeral? Hillary Clinton?
Will it be a "Who's who of the baby killing industry at the funeral" ?
I'm not sure how the left will respond to this killing. Yes, my first thought, too, is that this is a golden opportunity to demonize abortion clinic bombers and shooters—all three or four of them—just as they did with the OKC bomber a while ago with Janet Napolitano's demonize-the-right memo.
On the other hand, the media have been virtually silent so far, and I don't see it on Drudge, although it would seem to be big news.
Two possible reasons: they are waiting to see if the killer is a designated propaganda opportunity: male, white, Christian, maybe a veteran, and a pro-lifer. Or is it possibly some other kind of guy.
The second reason is that, although one should not speak ill about the dead, Tiller was a vile excuse for a human being. He was a cold-blooded killer, who frequently violated the law as well as the moral law. Do they really want to hold Tiller up as their new saint? He might not serve their purpose very well if people take a close look at him. Aside from his criminal acts and his virtual bribery of Governor Sebelius and others.
Holy cow!
I do not support this. He should have been prosecuted, not killed.
The point is: They'll never be able to sell this as a "tragedy".
And, they won't even (seriously) try.
That's right. Attack me and leave the murderer out of it. I'm sorry you can't find good reason to celebrate the killing of this animal and choose, instead, to pretend that taking the "high road" is the proper thing. I feel sorry for you.
However, the system is broken, the system was bought and paid for by Tiller, the system was in Tiller's back pocket.
Tiller was the most powerful political figure in Kansas, a political boss, yet he never held office, himself.
Again, I do not support vigilante justice like this -— but it was predictable.
The people are losing confidence in their government.
It took me a while to read through this thread and finally someone said it. (apologies if I missed it on another post)
My 2 cents. A person broke the law. He will be caught and punished, and he knew this when he set out this morning. I suspect he intended to surrender on the spot, but got scared. (He did not snipe from a hill or wear a disguise).
He decided that losing his freedom (or his life) to stop Tiller was a price he was willing to pay.
Tiller was the most vile and vicious abortionists that I have ever heard of, and I am unable to find any sympathy for him or those who loved him.
The problem here is that liberal bigots will paint pro-lifers with a broad brush and it will now essentially be illegal to hold pro-life views or own weapons.
They are quick to excuse the terrorist Muslims for their atrocities (saying it was the actions of America that drove them to it) and yet, they will send this guy to GITMO for water-boarding and execution (without the noting the real atrocities that Tiller has committed that drove this person to his act).
Because someone like myself predicts how cynical Obama will come across in his comments on Tiller's death does not mean I am gloating or taking delight over his untimely demise.
For one I wish his life had not been taken in this way; this sppears to be murder; there is no excuse.
Having said that, I am not blind to political reality and the evil nature of Obama.
It will be interesting to see who "honors" him by attending the funeral.
The tragedy is our culture has fallen so far that an abortionist can perform abortions legally.
Conservatives would be better off heeding the words of Thomas Jefferson rather than Thomas Paine. The latter, besides being a drunk, had a history of not paying his debts.
Anyone holding Paine up as a paragon of 'conservative' principles is woefully in error.
I see "the right" are attacking each other over this as usual, marching to the drumbeat of the PC crowd. Gotta wait for the facts.
More precisely I do not support the murder of innocent human beings ever, under no circumstances, while you allow for the killing of innocent human beings if they were the result of a rape or incest.
Why do you support the murder of innocent human beings?
I do not share the same views as you. I am not religious. However, I do not think abortion is necessarily right, and, I can see instances where it may be warranted. I don't view the world as a black and white place.
"What if it turns out a RAT shot him?"
would not surprise me in the least...
Look on the bright side - maybe Keith Olbermann will name us "The Worst Person In The World."
So we are to hold off on the gunfire until anarchy prevails?
When do you think that will happen?
More info on that statement?
Since your remark is not flying well with some on this thread maybe they'd prefer, "May Tiller the baby killer stand alongside Jesus in Heaven now and forever, Amen."</sarcasm>
Well at least try to be consistent.
This is exactly where the abortion reasoning will take the pro-lifer if they're at all honest, if they really believed that it was murder, then why don't they act like it?
So when an individual acts like it was murder, the pro-life movement goes through palpitations.
I thought the Bible was explicit when it says there is no greater love than of a man who lays down his life for another, well this guy appears to have done exactly that.
Not good.
I think this is going to spark more violence.
Good analysis.
I will never apologise to the left or any pro-baby murder person, when they make their murderers university professors.
Obviously, I don't really care. But you have made it quite clear that you do care... So once again, I ask you: If someone is murdering babies by performing abortions, why aren't you out stopping them?
I remember that. It was caught in tape
If you'll look at the Sibelius confirmation threads, you'll see that he was a truly huge donor to her campaigns. In fact, the issue of the depth of their connection hasn't been settled yet, to my knowledge.
Why? They seem to be getting their way.
I do not support murder period.
Abortion is murder, as is gunning someone down.

USDA Hosts Kids' Day Event for Washington, DC-Area Families to Kick-Off National Invasive Species Awareness Week
From a very humble start, National Invasive Species Awareness Week's Kids' Day has bloomed into an event featuring an invasive species magician, a 13-year old 'invasive species hunter' from Texas, and even Woodsy Owl from the Forest Service.
The event, sponsored by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, will take place on February 26 at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C.—a perfect setting to educate kids about the importance of protecting our forests, agriculture and the environment from harmful invasive species.

No one wants to admit that they have a drug problem, but we have to be honest with ourselves: Staten Island has one.
Prescription drug abuse has had a hold on the borough for many years affecting Islanders of all walks of life. Death from these medications is four times higher than anywhere else in the city and has killed more Islanders than homicides and motor vehicle accidents combined last year.
The addiction can take on a life of its own when users move to heroin as a more affordable alternative when the habit becomes too expensive. Pills are sold on the street for $20 - $30 a pill. On average, addicts consume about 15-20 pills per day.
That's why it's so important we're vigilant as physicians and private citizens to curb this epidemic. Recently, NYC Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farely addressed borough physicians on Prescribers have many new alternatives to opioid medications for pain management and sleep aids.
So what can you do?
We need to make these medications less accessible to everyone. If you have medications in your home that you're not using or are out of date - get them out of the house. This will make you safer because of potential for accidental interactions with other medications – which is another topic we'll discuss in another issue. It will also safeguard your home from people with unscrupulous motives.
Staten Island University Hospital routinely partners up with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency for "Drug Take Back Day," an initiative to get outdated and excess medications out of homes, so take part.
If you're an employer, set up an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for your workers to get access treatment and counseling.
Even though Staten Island has a population that rivals Miami, it has a small town feel. Everyone knows each other and we all know someone who suffers from addiction or suffered the loss of someone who has died from a prescription overdose.
This problem is bigger than any one person; we all have to play our part.

Posted by HealthandBeautyGirl on Feb 04, 2014
I love this brush, I have 2 now. I like it better than most of my brushes because of how soft it is and it doesn't shed! I will never pay more as long as I can get these brushes. I love the size as I like to use it for powder, blush, bronzer and I like a large soft fluffy brush.. this is it! UPDATE: This is my favorite brush of all I have tried! It never sheds! Is so so soft! and applies powder makeup beautifully! :)

Great Brush
Posted by AdrieC on May 08, 2014
My intentions for this brush was to be used for applying Powder for school and it's so soft and gets product so nice and evenly on the brush. I've had it for about two weeks and I've washed it multiple times and it hasn't shed on me.
good everyday tool
Posted by 5256112787385571982 on Jun 10, 2014
great brush - will order others
Didn't like the synthetic feel
Posted by cheryltancl on Sep 20, 2013
Didn't like this as much as the other line of ELF brushes. This is synthetic and doesn't apply powder well.
Pretty ok
Posted by GeorgiasMirror on Jul 19, 2013
It's soft and looks nice, doesn't shed but picks up very little product, so I need to insist when applying powder.
just received the item
Posted by Reviewer2191694 on Jul 24, 2013
Very soft, looks better than all chinese fake brushes. But still some small 'hair' are falling down when you are using it. Doubt that it will stay in the same condition after washing.
Good product

Sale Sharks have named Danny Cipriani at fly-half for Friday's Aviva Premiership clash with Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens.
Sale boss Steve Diamond has named Danny Cipriani at fly-half for the Aviva Premiership clash with Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens on Friday.
Cipriani comes in for the injured Nick Macleod while the Sharks have also lost Dwayne Peel with a hamstring injury along with James Gaskell who fractured a metatarsal in last week's warm-up.
Josh Beaumont badly injured his knee early in the game and is a long term injury whereas Macleod and Gaskell should be back by November.
Centres Johnny Leota and Sammy Tuitupou are both recovering from broken jaws but better news on Tony Buckley in that he is nearing full fitness.
Meanwhile, Stephen Myler will hit the double-century appearance mark when he runs out with the rest of the Northampton team on Friday.
The 29-year-old fly-half has spent his entire rugby union career at Franklin's Gardens, and since his debut in 2006 he has racked up 1,536 points – putting him second on the club's all-time points scoring list – and steered the team to six finals in six years, winning three of them.
This June Myler also became a full international in England's successful tour of Argentina.
Myler is only the eleventh player to reach the landmark since the year 2000, and director of rugby Jim Mallinder says that the achievement reflects his consistency and quality.
"Stephen has been an outstanding player in my time at the club and I'm delighted for him in reaching a landmark like this," Mallinder commented.
"In the professional era, when players move from club to club and have massive physical demands every week, hitting 200 appearances becomes even more special.
"I'm particularly happy for Stephen that he gets to reach this landmark on home turf. He has been one of our key players over the past few years and has served the Saints and our supporters well.
"I'm sure they'll join all of us in congratulating him tomorrow night."
Mallinder and the Saints coaches have made four changes to the team which was pipped at the post in Gloucester last Saturday, with George Pisi, Alex Corbisiero, Courtney Lawes and Phil Dowson all returning to the starting line-up.
Form: Northampton Saints 100 per cent winning record this season perished at Gloucester on Saturday in a narrow 24-26 defeat. The Saints have won their last five Aviva Premiership Rugby matches played on a Friday night. Sale Sharks only defeat in their last four matches was 14-15 at home to Newcastle in round 2. The Sharks are bidding to win back to back away games in the Premiership for the first time since the start of the 2008/09 season. Sale have won just one of their last nine encounters with the Saints in all competitions: 29-21 at Edgeley Park in September 2011, whilst Sale have not been victorious at Franklin's Gardens since May 2006.
The teams:
Northampton Saints: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Jamie Elliott, 13 George Pisi, 12 Luther Burrell, 11 George North, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Sam Dickinson, 7 Phil Dowson, 6 Calum Clark, 5 Christian Day, 4 Courtney Lawes, 3 Tom Mercey, 2 Dylan Hartley (capt), 1 Alex Corbisiero.
Replacements: 16 Mike Haywood, 17 Alex Waller, 18 Gareth Denman, 19 Samu Manoa, 20 Tom Wood, 21 Kahn Fotuali'i, 22 James Wilson, 23 Ken Pisi.
Sale Sharks: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Rob Miller, 13 Mark Cueto, 12 Andy Forsyth, 11 Tom Brady, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Will Cliff, 8 Mark Easter, 7 David Seymour, 6 Dan Braid (capt), 5 Michael Paterson, 4 Kirill Kulemin, 3 Vadim Colbilas, 2 Tommy Taylor, 1 Eifion Lewis Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Marc Jones, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Henry Thomas, 19 Johnathan Mills, 20 Andrei Ostrikov, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Joe Ford, 23 Phil McKenzie.

So narrow and tight!
"I fell in love with this sandal..it's so pretty and colorful without being overdone. I ordered my regular size, 8.5. I have other Dirty Laundry shoes, so I figured they would fit perfectly. Well, sadly, they were WAY too tight, and WAY too narrow! I couldn't even get them on my foot. There didn't seem to be enough room height wise for my foot to slide in. Also, the footbed of the sandal is very narrow. Too bad because the sandal itself is gorgeous!"
