Author of Choclatique—150 Simply 150 Elegant Desserts, Running Press, 2011
Cranberries are thought to be an indispensable part of our traditional American Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner feasts. For some reason, my mother seems to forget to serve the cranberries during holiday dinners. She used to find it still in the "fridge" when putting away the leftovers. Not wanting to cheat anyone out of their holiday cranberries, I created this recipe using dried cranberries (and chocolate, of course). I think you will find that tart cranberries are the perfect balance for Choclatique's Snowy White Chocolate Chips.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 to 12 minutes
Ready In: 1 hour
Yield: 36 Cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 (3.5 ounce) package Jell-O® Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fresh orange zest
2 large eggs
1 cup Choclatique Snowy White Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat an oven to 350º F.
- Lightly spray two baking sheets with food release.
- Combine the flour and baking soda in a bowl and whisk.
- Cream the butter, white sugar and brown sugar and with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy and smooth; add the instant pudding mix and continue to beat.
- Beat the first egg into the butter mixture until completely blended, and then beat in the vanilla and the orange zest with the last egg.
- Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. It's okay to see a little flour.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and cranberries; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Using a 1 ounce scoop or 2 tablespoons drop the dough 2 inches apart onto the sprayed baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges of the cookies become golden brown—about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
ChefSecret: You can substitute dried cranberries with dried cherries or blueberries, but then it wouldn't be Thanksgiving, would it? You can also substitute the orange zest with tangerine or lemon zest.

Trend Watch - Vintage Birds
Recently, I was at a resale shop in the Columbus downtown area and found these vintage British bird book plates someone was selling and the notion of vintage birds got me thinking how that would be an excellent decorated glass.
Here are a few finds that caught my eye while I was looking up vintage birds. Looks like a few people are selling real vintage bird illustrations and nick knacks on Etsy. I also was amazed to find the number of retro styled vintage bird art that was being talked about on blogs.
Lastly, I was even more surprised to find that Anchor used to make Fire-King milk glass bird coffee cups. A few others and myself headed to the archives and found the actual glasses and from there I set out recreating these little gems. But, I thought I would share my inspiration and I will keep you updated on the vintage birds.

When couples have problems that they cannot fix, oftentimes they will turn to a therapist to help to sort things out. When a therapist works with a couple, it is the relationship that is the client; not the two people in the relationship. So, when working with a couple, the goal is to help them to understand what is not working in their relationship, and why, and also what to do to improve how they are doing the relationship.
Paulina Posatko, MFT

All couples experience issues in their relationship. If you and your partner are having difficulty communicating or resolving conflicts, therapy is a great way to gain a new perspective with the guidance of a neutral party in a safe environment. My hope is to break apart your toxic patterns, rebuild your strengths as a couple, and give you the tools to improve your growth areas.

Posted on 03/25/2010 4:59:41 PM PDT by wagglebee
CHICAGO - Congressman Bart Stupak's invitation to deliver the keynote speech at next month's Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast has been withdrawn.
The event's president, Michael Sullivan, says he and other Illinois Catholics felt betrayed when the Michigan Democrat set aside abortion concerns to vote for President Barack Obama's healthcare bill.

It does look like Stupak will get another chance to vote on health care. It's his choice...if he wants to still be in Congress in 2011.
Sure would be fun to be sitting behind Judas at Church on Sunday.
Good for them!
CHICAGO - Congressman Bart Stupak's invitation to deliver the keynote speech at next month's Illinois Catholic Prayer Breakfast has been withdrawn.
Too bad. Perhaps he will be invited to speak at Georgetown University. Or Notre Dame. Or some other Catholic University.
They seem to have no problem with pro-abortion politicians.
He held in his hands a power to help protect innocent life. He never meant to do it and he never really cared.
No problem; our congressional Masters have no interest in what thw nation is thinking anyway.
So what took em so long?
You mean he wasn't too afraid to attend?
I sent Stupak a one word message.
The wages of sin are death...
and they also include the withdrawal of a speaking invitation!!!
So the House will vote again? I am sure nothing will change. The people in MI are fools if they keep this slime.
What's "Pro-Life" about the Catholics who voted in nearly equal numbers for Obama as they did for McCain?
I was simply pinging people with pro-life ping lists. Most pro-life pings are to threads about those who are decidedly anti-life.
Well Stupak will learn there are consequences to his actions.
I can't help wondering what Stupak thought would happen? He can't honestly believe an EO would have amounted to anything. The bill got 219 votes - he could have stood by his supposed principles and it still would have passed. But why make such a big deal out of being pro-life, of the Stupak Amendment, of making grandiose statements about the sanctity of life, only to turn around and throw it all away at the last minute?
Obviously the man is a snake - but this issue is so important to so many people, and he'd positioned himself very publicly as being on the pro-life side - that I can't even begin to understand why he would commit political and moral suicide like he has.
Yes, I know Obama gave his state something like $400,000 - but that's chump change by Obama standards. And doesn't begin to account for such a jaw-dropping 360, or such a lame lame excuse for it.
Hey bart hugo wants you to speak
Castro too
"Fidel Castro Applauds Obamas Healthcare Reform"
They just didn't want to spoil a good breakfast by having the weasel in the room.
So what if people leave the Church over it! So what if the collection plate gets a lot smaller! If Catholics had been told years ago, that voting for a pro abortion candidate, would mean you are no longer welcome in the Church,The make up of the Supreme Court would be such that abortion would be illegal.
Not to put it all on the Catholic Church, because the same can be said for the other main stream Churches as well.
Christians are against abortion and gay marriage. PERIOD
Bart Stupac being a Democrat, should have been enough reason to kick him out of the Church
I hope that the Pope pulls his plug too.
Why would the Catholic Church do that?
When I consider what Stupak has done, I can't but think that in his mind it is more just to provide care for millions than to hold out over one issue that he hoped could be handled with the EO.
NOT saying that I agree with this, but it's the only thing that makes sense in regards to his actions.
But, I am reminded of the tale of the Good Shepard that left the flock of 99 to search out the one lost sheep. Jesus would have left behind all those millions to save even one of his innocents from abortion.
Stupak should be a pariah.
Remember: As you read the lengthy, and constantly-growing, lists of horrors in TerriSchiavoCare, like Rahm Emanuel reading your medical files, and the new taxes, and the prison terms, and the death panels—remember that the Catholic bishops had NO PROBLEM with ANYTHING in the bill except abortion funding.
In other words, the Catholic bishops are OFFICIALLY in favor of totalitarianism and collectivism. I.e., they are not Catholics.
The bishops want the money.
Cardinal George soft-pedals abortion because he has to raise $120 Million a year from wealthy, pro-abortion donors. The same is true in all the big cities with Catholic schools.
It is not the government's duty to "provide" stuff for people.
It IS the government's duty not to discriminate in the application of the homicide laws—protecting some people and not protecting others.
A very good point.

Skip to comments.Pirate Bay Takes Over Distribution of Censored 3D Printable Gun(Avast Mateys)
Posted on 05/10/2013 9:37:36 AM PDT by BerserkPatriot
A few days after the blueprints for the worlds first printable gun were published online, Defense Distributed has been asked by the State Department to pull them down, citing possible arms trafficking violations. The blueprints, however, are still available on The Pirate Bay and many other file-sharing sites, which adds a 3D chapter to the IP enforcement debate.The Pirate Bay says it welcomes the blueprints and has no intention of taking the files down.
Enter DEFCAD, a site dedicated to hosting designs that have been banned at Thingiverse. Namely, the entirely printable 3D gun design which clocked up more than 100,000 downloads within its first two days of release.
This did not sit well with the Department of State Office of Defense Trade Controls who kindly requested that DEFCAD remove the availability of the 3D printable gun documents, enthusiastically named The Liberator, citing a possible violation of International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
In the letter from the State Department, which can be read in full at Forbes, the Government explains that it wants to review whether the designs are in compliance with arms export control laws. ... While DEFCON promptly complied with the request to remove access to the design, it was shared so widely during the short window of availability that it is now virtually impossible to prevent any further distribution. Currently, there appears to be several torrents available for the design at The Pirate Bay and the site informs us that these will not be censored.
TPB has for close to 10 years been operating without taking down one single torrent due to pressure from the outside. And it will never start doing that, A Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak.
(Excerpt) Read more at torrentfreak.com ...
Im not so sure I am being distraught over losing all in a boating accident
This file is also available on bit torrent and dozens (if not hundreds by now) of mirror sites. The toothpaste is out of the tube and they are not going to get it back in.
It's ok, now you can just print a new one. :)
can someone tell me how a print out of a gun is arms trafficking??
Perhaps your new plastic guns will float?
It's trafficking when we say it's trafficking, citizen.
By what authority do they "request" that a file be removed while they are deciding whether that file violates export laws? Those currently in charge of what was supposed to be a "government of the people" disgust me.
Apparentlyl the gov't is treating it as a technology transfer. And there is a law on the books that they are pointing to.
I lost the pdf in a boating accident. Don't ask.
but it still isnt a working gun
so if I transfer technology of a water pistol is that arms trafficking??
I used to have the file but I lost it in a virtual boating accident.
The 100K downloaded yesterday is probably closer to 100Million worldwide today solely due to the government's attempt to censor. Just like when an authority attempts to ban a book, it becomes a best seller.
You would think they would have learned a long time ago.
One of these days, the government may just yet learn that you can't control information once it's been released into the wild. I won't hold my breathe waiting, though.
can someone tell me how a print out of a gun is arms trafficking??
It's trafficking when we say it's trafficking, citizen.
You screwed up, it isn't "Citizen" it is "Prisoner"...

I wonder how long before the offer a printable ARRRRRRRR-15?
I was going to post a program to print out a nuclear bomb. But I need to make one final test print and my glow-in-the-dark print cartridge is low. Anyone have a spare? It's the one in the heavy lead pouch. Maybe a U-235?
What technology could they be talking about?
The irony of a regime known for its Guns for Gangsters program couldnt be any thicker.
Im not sure about them going after folks though, that would be like the IRS going after Conservative groups . Oh wait
It's too bad we didn't have these CrackerJack Inspector Clouseau types when Billy Jeff Buttafuco was trading Technology secrets to the Chinese for campaign cash...
This is like when the back door of a Brink's truck opens up and money goes flying. Cops come on TV later that day: "We have secret video cameras and have you on tape. You better return any money you picked up, or else! Yea, you better do that, you better turn it all in!".
Coming from State is should be "I-TARD".
Ohhh.. thats pretty bad . So much so Im going to use it.
The lower receiver is already out there. That's the part that is defined as the "gun." The rest of it is attachments and peripherals.
Pirate Bay
I wonder how long before the offer a printable ARRRRRRRR-15?
Or a Parrot rifle.
Here's how things work know:
you cover up for Obama until he gets elected
you lie/ignore facts that challenge his eligibility
you have the IRS target conservative groups
you lie/cover up about Benghazi
you force 3D printed gun plans to be taken down.
None of which is ethical, even if borderline legal, but you do what it takes first, and only explain or "apologize" later if you get caught.
My brother-in-law is mentally handicapped and he is a great guy. I really don't appreciate you comparing him to the federal government.
To all : Do the right thing. Surrender your downloaded file. Email it to DHS so they can destroy it. (/s)
I will email it in right after I make 20 copies of it.
The gubmint is composed of retards, and that is actually an insult to retarded people everywhere.
Transfer a known technology from an American acorss an international border? The same laws pertain to copies of any number of commercial software packages, which I'm sure have never been purchased over the counter at Office Depot, Radio Shack, etc. A crappy little .22, however? Call out the police! Call out the National Guard! Call out the SEALS!
I don't know. Where or how do you draw the line? This thing opens up a whole bunch of questions. What constitutes "weapon technology".
I don't know. Where or how do you draw the line? This thing opens up a whole bunch of questions. What constitutes "weapon technology".
How about a Hoy?
There are actually 16 drawing files for the various parts,not just 1
There is one .zip file with them all and a few others.
The gun is now in the wind with ton of torrent seeders.
I downloaded the sip file, so I think of it as one file, but you are correct. Thank you for the clarification.
Your last sentence makes my point. IMO, the only reason the State Department is involved is because this is a favorite lefty cause.
...but I hid another copy under the NYT in the parrot cage.
If you chew a pop tart to look like a gun, take a picture and text it into a gun free zone you are looking at 10 to 20 years minimum. Make sense?
The same way the Left got it's knickers in a twist about the "Anarchist Cookbook", back in the late 60's, IIRC....
As a poster on another thread mentioned:
"We were in Des Moines last weekend at the State Historical society. They had on display a primitive cannon where the barrel is made of wood and then it was wrapped the entire length in wire to give its strength."
Looks like ATF, State Dept, IRS, etc need to raid the State Historical Society in Des Moines!
"I was going to post a program to print out a nuclear bomb. But I need to make one final test print and my glow-in-the-dark print cartridge is low. Anyone have a spare? Its the one in the heavy lead pouch. Maybe a U-235?"
I am laughing while I type and will laugh every time I think about your post! Thank you!
It is probably the same laws that restrict exporting missle technology and such. The law probably directly lists data files as technology that is included in the law. But the problem is not the law, it's the misapplication of the law. It will probably go all the way to the supreme court and who know how they will rule.
In the meantime, the files will exist and will be sent around the world.
Liberal cities will soon have 'buy backs' - I think I'll print our several copies ;o)
Now, that's creative.
We need more and better gun files. Is there one for a 9mm Sten?
I couldn't find one
Not with that hi-cap magazine I printed out to go with it.
"How about a Hoy?"
Link didn't work for me. Can you get me the info some other way?

Whether you're a devotee of the team who is personified by the "hooded one" or are rooting for Coughlin's corps when the Patriots and Giants battle it out on the sport's biggest stage, Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, the Big Game is a tremendous draw around the world.
A delicious number of story angles are at play here: How will Eli Manning do in the city his brother put on the football map? Will Amherst native Rob Gronkowski continue his stellar play or will he be hobbled by his ankle injury? Will Tom Brady take more cheap shots at Buffalo hotels? Which team do Bills' fans hate most?
No doubt preparation is vital for the Super Bowl. Sure, we're talking pigskin pointers but what about the game plan for the menu? Feel free to chow down as you ponder the following fun food facts:
- The Super Bowl is the second largest day of food consumption in the U.S. The first? Thanksgiving comes out on top.
- On game day, the Anchor Bar will sell two tons of wings.
- If you add up all the guacamole made for Sunday's game, it would fill Lucas Oil Stadium from end zone to end zone.
- Chips are the second most eaten food; vegetables are #1!
- The average Super Bowl viewer will consume 1,200 calories that day alone.
- Antacid sales jump as high as 20% the Monday after the game.
Locally, the Super Bowl is a super seller for area pizzerias. Charlie Muscarella, who owns a restaurant bearing his name on Main St. in Williamsville, said it's all hands on deck. Cheese and pepperoni pies are Muscarella's biggest seller followed by boneless wings. In the business for 15 years, Charlie says the day is hectic for his entire staff but the pizzeria runs smoothly because most customers are savvy enough to pre-order. Thanks to the brisk business, Charlie has never been home in time to watch the actual game!

Skip to comments.Gunning for victory risky for Obama
Posted on 09/16/2008 5:10:47 AM PDT by rellimpank
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's hopes for carrying Montana have diminished over the past few months, and Montanans say it comes down to one word: guns.
"In Montana, we like our guns. We like big guns. We like little guns. We like shotguns. We like pistols. Most of us own two or three guns. Gun control is hitting what you shoot at," the state's Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer told the New York Times in April. When asked why he thought the Democratic nominee would not win his state, he replied, "guns."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
And religion! Don't forget religion! Oh yeah, a democrat said this.
You forgot bitterness.../sarc
Yeah, that too. Forgive me for my omission.
"Most of us own two or three guns."
Just two or three? I bet the good governor has misunderestimated his fellow Montana folks...
I bet Obama wishes he had voted "Present" 131 times instead of just 130!
and oh, yeah...layoffs caused by Republican Administrations.
And don't forget (ala Biden) "they're not smart enough".
Yeah, that too. Forgive me for my omission.
I'm sure that you're just too bitter to be thinking clearly...
Thank goodness the Left bans guns, we don't want a sharp spike in suicide as the BHo collapses.../sarc
Just two or three? I bet the good governor has misunderestimated his fellow Montana folks...
He meant two or three per family member.
LOL! You got that right! But your post has calmed me down somewhat. By the way, I could go by your handle.
With all due respect, it isn't guns. Its freedom. Owning and having use of a gun is just part of being free.
Remember, "If you know how many weapons you have , you don't have enough !"
> And religion! Don't forget religion! <
As much as I love Montana and Montanans, I don't think religion is as big a factor in their voting as it is in the South or even in the Midwest.
The good news is this moron the Dems are running for President isn't a Southerner, and he's on record in San Francisco as mocking us bitter morons in flyover country as clinging to guns and religion.
My DH is constantly trying to take inventory! He never gets it finished! Our insurance agent keeps after him, but it is a time consuming, tedious job. We try to pick up where we left off, but we never have gotten a complete list to the agent. My 2 sons not only have the ones we've given them, but also both their grand-dad's, so we always seem to find another one, then another. I've got 3 gun safes (big ones!)2 cabinets, and every door in the house seems to have a couple behind it.
Thanks for setting me straight. I thought he meant 'per vehicle.'
That Governor needs to be replaced with an R.
Any chance that will happen??
I have friends in Montana and they say he is "all hat-—no cattle" blowhard.
My DH is constantly trying to take inventory! He never gets it finished! Our insurance agent keeps after him, but it is a time consuming, tedious job.
IMO, get your insurance thru the NRA.
I don't trust the Liberals to go after the insurance companies to report everyone who is insuring guns on their policies.
I don't see the NRA complying.... I think the insurance companies would comply without a whimper.
Spent my wife's and my own rebate from President Bush on three Ruger handguns . Made in America also !
Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant said Monday that Mr. Obama "is the most "anti-gun presidential candidate in American history.Barack Obama is Sarah Brady in pants.
"He has supported bans on handguns and semi-automatic assault firearms, and he has voted to ban possession of many shotguns and rifles commonly used by hunters and sportsmen across America.
As a state senator in Illinois, he voted for a broad range of gun control measures and supported the District's and Chicago's gun bans
In comparison, Barry makes gun grabbers Chuckie Schumer & Di-Fi look like Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.
In 2000, for example, the NRA mounted a massive direct-mail and TV/radio campaign against Mr. Gore's candidacy and his gun control voting record. Voter exit polls in that election showed that about 48 percent of all voters owned guns that year, up from 37 percent in 1996.If they only had showed up for Dole in 96, maybe September 11, 2001, the bank failures, the energy crisis, etc. would not have happened. What were they thinking?
NRA officials say the gun issue has traction across the country, especially among union households that are heavily Democratic. "Polls show that gun ownership in union households runs from a low of 48 percent in California to 90 percent in states like West Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Nevada and places like that," Mr. LaPierre said.That 20% of Union members are also NRA members. These members helped elect George W. Bush in 2000. (Zogby International, 2000)
"BO has a new radio ad out featuring a former NFL star (missed his name) who claims both BO and McCain support the RKBA, but BO would cut middle class taxes by $1,000, thereby creating more jobs."
America's consrevative electorate makes a liar out of every ambitious Liberal!!!
Btw his 'tax cut' is a check from the Govt. Its Orwellian use of the term 'tax cut'. Why dont we just abolish the income tax for 90% of Americans while we are at it?
And another thing, I propose we rename the Democratic Party the "Gimme Party". I also would like to remind the beady eyed, man-hating, ball-less, endless wastes of oxygen, city-slicken yahoos that we rednecks out here in the red "fly-over" states that they don't "trust" to make our own decisions have all the food, the water, and 99% of the guns in this country. It'd be a good thing for them to remember while they're bashing the common folk.
I tried to insure my guns with USAA but the phone agent wanted make, model, caliber, barrel length, and SERIAL NUMBER!
I said, "You don't want to insure my guns, you want to REGISTER them!" and I hung up.
BTW, here in South Carolina we're gun friendly, too.
"In Montana, we like our guns. We like big guns. We like little guns. We like shotguns. We like pistols. Most of us own two or three guns. Gun control is hitting what you shoot at,"
I think you are over-reacting.
"I think you are overreacting"
Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.
Do you have full reciprocity with other ccw states? If you don't then you're only friendly to your own people. I refuse to travel anywhere my ccw permit is no good. Those states can forego my tourist dollars. As it currently stands the places with which FL has full ccw reciprocity are really the only places I'd be interested in traveling to anyway.

In November the Festive Friday will swap days and become a Festive Thursday instead. It will be held on Nov. 3 at noon at the county building upstairs. The theme is Attitude of Gratitude, positive thoughts on Holiday Survival.
In October the Festive Friday centered around smart shopping to save money as well as build your food storage items. Shandra Madsen has a blog and a website where she focuses on deals to meals and recipes and preparing for emergencies.
She encouraged everyone to get ready for the unknown, in our area it will most likely be an earthquake. "What will happen, can you survive for four-six weeks. In a large scale disaster, services won't be available for some time. You can live without air for about three minutes, you can live without water for three days. Start with storing water. Bottled water is expensive, but it works. Water will go stale after about two years, so have some flavorings available. You can use empty pop bottles, gatorade bottles, juice bottles, milk jugs, etc. You will need one gallon of water per day per person for drinking and two gallons per day per person for washing and cooking. I store wash water in empty laundry detergent bottles and it works because the water will be a little soapy."
She also recommended you get a water filter. If you don't have one, get one for Christmas. You can also give water filters for gifts. Madsen told the Festive Friday goers to simplify their 72 hour kits, some lists are extremely long as to what should go into a kit. "Be realistic, get water and food for three days and a jacket, have it somewhere you can just grab it and go. Remember to stock up on non-food items as well as food items. Get toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, hand sanitizer, toothbrushes, candles and stock up. You can survive hard economic times if you are prepared. Build your own personal grocery store. If you don't have money and you can't go to the store, do you have enough to survive. I grew up with a grocery store in the basement and my grandparents had one too. I thought everyone did. It doesn't take a lot of money. Just be aware and be informed. Stock up. At our house, we don't eat a lot of treats, I put the money we might spend on treats into our food storage. Even if you only add one item a week to your food storage, it will add up. Start with getting a three month supply of food you are used to eating and foods you enjoy.
"One of the things you need in your food storage is wheat. Store it and it lasts forever. The pioneers had wheat and it saved them. You can boil wheat to survive. It's fairly inexpensive. It has so many vitamins and minerals. You need to store powdered milk. If you have young children, they need milk, they need those vitamins and minerals. Store oil as well. You will need powdered eggs. You will use it in a lot of recipes. Use one tablespoon of egg powder to two tablespoons of water. One cup of water and three tablespoons of powdered milk makes a cup of milk. Buy the non-instant milk.
Madsen recommended getting a wheat grinder.
Get a three month supply of meals. Think of your food storage in terms of complete meals. Think of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. If you have cereal, you will need the powdered milk. If you like oatmeal, you might need brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon. If you like tuna fish sandwiches you will need salt, pepper and pickles. For dinner you might have pasta, sauce and canned green beans. You would make homemade bread. Have a variety of items. As you build your own grocery store, you will have quick meals ready. You will avoid last minute trips to the grocery store and you won't have to resort to fast food to feed your family. Start with a three month supply and gradually work up to a one year food supply. See what you have and take inventory so you don't buy what you already have. Caselot sales can be good, but be careful and watch for the best deals. Some of the best deals can be found at your local grocery store. Watch the ads and when an item is on sale, then stock up. When peanut butter is a good deal, then stock up. Stores will have rock bottom, good deals on items only twice a year, when this happens stock up and buy as close to a year's supply of that item as you can.
Madsen said you can coupon if you want. She doesn't have time. She said the television news came to her and had her and a couponer go out and shop. They were each given $100 to spend. With her money she was able to get items for 17 home cooked and easy meals. The couponers had items like feminine products, deoderant and other non-edible items.
She encouraged everyone to plan ahead for their meals. If you go to the store more frequently, you will spend more money. Plan a two week menu, plan your menus around what's onsale. If chicken is on sale, have chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos. "Be aware and look at the ads, that's how you will save money. Made from scratch meals are the cheapest. Focus on good deals, meal planning can be fun. Make sure you have baking powder, baking soda, salt, flavorings, spices, etc. Rotate your stock, but don't worry about expiration dates. It will last for years after it's expired. Store your long term grains in cans or containers that are rodent proof."
Madsen said she stores sacks of sugar in large containers with lids and leaves the sugar in the bags. She has buckets in her pantry filled with flour, sugar and she refills these smaller containers from her larger supply. She said, she doesn't let a little weevil bother her either she won't throw out flour just because it has weevil.

Research Description
Dr. Morgan's research program has been focused on methotrexate and folic acid metabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Her work with Dr. Joseph E Baggott and members of the Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology (Drs. Graciela Alarcon, Dr. William Koopman, Dr. S Louis Bridges, and Dr. Laura Hughes) have established the folic acid supplementation during low dose methotrexate therapy for rheumatoid arthritis lowers toxicity without affecting efficacy. Drs Morgan and Baggott have also studied purine metabolism and methotrexate therapy in rat adjuvant arthritis and participate in trials related to methotrexate pharmacogenetics. Dr. Morgan and Dr. Baggott have also investigated the effects of a medical food on osteoarthritis.
Dr. Morgan is currently working on a NIH grant submission with Dr. Jeffrey Curtis related to discontinuation of anti-TNF drugs in individuals in remission of rheumatoid arthritis on methotrexate and an anti-TNF agent.
As the Medical Director of the UAB Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment Clinic, Dr. Morgan has an interest in bone densitometry and clinical trials related to osteoporosis.

Scott Cullen looks at Claude Giroux coming around, a chance for Aaron Palushaj, injuries to star wingers and playing the shooting percentages on relatively productive, yet low goal-scoring forwards like Jarome Iginla.
FLY BOYS The season hasn't started exactly how the Philadelphia Flyers envisioned it, and at least part of their problem has been their top-end offensive production.
Claude Giroux started the year slowly, with seven points in 13 games before putting up six points in the last four games, including a goal and two assists against the Islanders on Monday, when he played with Jakub Voracek and Matt Read.
Some of Giroux's slow start can be attributed to a lack of continuity with linemates. Last year, he played predominantly with Scott Hartnell and Jaromir Jagr. With Jagr gone to Dallas and Hartnell hurt in the third game of the season, Giroux has seen significant time since with wingers Read and Wayne Simmonds, Danny Briere and Tye McGinn, and Briere and Simmonds (line combos via www.leftwinglock.com).
Giroux's relative lack of production comes from a couple reasons that could be related to his lack of linemate continuity.
First, Giroux is averaging 2.47 shots on goal per game, down from 3.14 per game last season. Fewer chances most often leads to fewer goals.
Secondly, Giroux hasn't been terribly luck when it comes to on-ice shooting percentage. According to Behind the Net, Giroux's 5-on-5 on-ice shooting percentage is 5.17% this season, down from 9.41% last year.
There is time for these numbers to bounce back, particularly if Giroux has a pair of wingers with whom he is comfortable. Certainly, for one afternoon game against the Islanders, Voracek and Read looked the part and perhaps they should since they are tied for the Flyers' team lead with 11 even-strength points, five more than Giroux.
HEY, PAL! Waived by the Montreal Canadiens, 23-year-old RW Aaron Palushaj is earning a look with the Colorado Avalanche, skating on a line with Paul Stastny and David Jones.
After a three-point game Monday against Nashville, Palushaj has four points in four games with the Avs, a nice start after he managed 10 points in 21 AHL games with Hamilton this season (after 35 points in 35 AHL games earned him a call-up to Montreal for limited ice time in 38 games last season).
Getting a chance to produce now might give Palushaj a chance to stick in the lineup once Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog returns to the lineup and, presumably, bumps Palushaj down the depth chart.
NASH OUT While the New York Rangers aren't saying exactly what is keeping RW Rick Nash out of the lineup, the New York Post's Larry Brooks has a theory that it could be a concussion.
Though he only has three goals in 14 games, Nash has been pretty good for the Rangers, with 12 points and 4.1 shots on goal per game (his highest per-game rate since 2007-2008) while playing a career-high 24:24 per game.
For as long as Nash is out, the Blueshirts need to do some line-shuffling. Nash had been skating with Derek Stepan and Carl Hagelin, but when Nash sat out Tuesday's loss to Montreal, Marian Gaborik moved into that spot, leaving Ryan Callahan and rookie Chris Kreider to flank Brad Richards on the Rangers' other scoring unit.
For the Rangers to be successful this year, they needed compelementary offence from the likes of Hagelin and Kreider, so that need is more acute now.
For his part, Hagelin has come on strong after a slow start, scoring five goals in the last five games. Kreider, on the other hand, has struggled. He missed time with bone chips in his ankle and has just two points in eight games, but he did play a season-high 14:37 against Montreal.
HOSSA HURT Canucks RW Jannik Hansen clocked Blackhawks RW Marian Hossa in the back of the head Tuesday night and while there can be some debate about intent and what punishment Hansen may or may not deserve, the result of the play is worse because it involved Hossa, who suffered a serious concussion after headshot by Coyotes LW Raffi Torres in last year's playoffs.
Hossa scored a pair of goals against the Canucks to give him eight goals and 14 points in 16 games this season. Hossa has been skating with Jonathan Toews and rookie Brandon Saad, but the Blackhawks may need to make changes going forward if Hossa is going to be out for any length of time. Viktor Stalberg, Michael Frolik and Bryan Bickell could be candidates to get more ice time as a result.
SHARK TALE Sharks RW Tim Kennedy has scored goals in back-to-back games, giving him two in three games since getting promoted from AHL Worcester, where the 26-year-old had a point per game in 37 games.
A smallish forward, Kennedy scored 26 points in 78 games as a rookie with Buffalo in 2009-2010, but was then waived after an arbitration award of $1-million and Kennedy has been trying to stick in the NHL ever since, spending time with the Rangers and Panthers organizations before joining the Sharks last season.
With 31 points in 115 career NHL games, Kennedy is no lock to remain in a scoring role with the Sharks, but if the Sharks are looking to shake up their top six, because of a lack of production from Ryane Clowe and Martin Havlat, then Kennedy could get more than a cursory look.
PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES There is no guarantee that just because a player is getting shots on goal that he will actually score. However, there is more reason to worry about a player turning around a lack of production if they aren't even getting shots.
For a look at some players that have been generating chances, without many red lights to show for it, here's a look (via www.hockey-reference.com) at all forwards that have at least 2.0 shots on goal per game (at least 20 overall), a shooting percentage of 8.0% or lower and three goals or fewer.
They won't all bounce back. Some, like Michael Frolik and Nikolai Kulemin have had trouble putting the puck in the net in recent seasons and who knows what rookies like Drew Shore, Mika Zibanejad or Jakob Silfverberg might do, but there is a reasonable likelihood of a few of these guys improving their finishing rate. After all, Jarome Iginla can't score once every 48 shots all season, can he?
Of those on the list below, the ones getting more than three shots per game with a good scoring pedigree in their past (or high expectations for young scorers) include Iginla, Justin Williams, Patric Hornqvist, Patrice Bergeron, Phil Kessel, Taylor Hall, Rick Nash, Max Pacioretty, Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Semin and Tyler Seguin -- an list of quality talents that might be obtained at a relative discount in fantasy circles because of their lack of goal production to this point in the season.

Theme: Patriotic Duty
Artist: Sidney NOLAN
Birth/Death: 1917–1992
Title: Head of soldier
Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
'Sanity is a relative term. It may be merely a mask — and war but a masquerade.'
The psychiatrist Reg Ellery wrote these words in his book Psychiatric Aspects of Modern Warfare published in 1945; Nolan's Head of soldier featured on the cover. The model was Captain Bilby, Nolan's commanding officer in the supply corps in the Wimmera district of Victoria..
Nolan was passionately against Australian involvement in the Second World War and had done everything to avoid active duty. By painting a digger, the embodiment of Australian pride, as a shell-shocked victim, Nolan exposed the lunacy of war and his personal reaction to it.

The Historical Society of Emery County will visit the Ghostly Remains of the Mammoth Dam disaster in Lower Gooseberry Valley.
This dam failed on June 24, 1917, sending thousands of feet of water into the Price River Valley. It picked up a Castle Gate railroad depot and also the tracks.
Bring your own lunch and plenty of water.
A high-clearance vehicle is suggested.
Mark your calendar for June 25.
The south end of the county will meet at 9 a.m. at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale, then travel to meet the north end of the county at 9:15 a.m. at the Huntington City Park.

Fox Point-Bayside approves retirement fund distribution
Fox Point - The Fox Point-Bayside School Board voted Monday to solidify a change in the district's post employment benefit package, electing to distribute the district's retirement benefit fund to teachers in the form of payouts.
District officials had previously deliberated two methods of distributing the retirement fund, one which would pay all teachers the same amount per year of service, and another which would reward long-standing teachers by paying them more for their accumulated years of service.
The board also recently approved the amount of the payouts to exceed the balance of the retirement fund by an amount not to exceed $750,000.
Though the decision over which method was ultimately in the hands of the board, district staff polled teachers for their preference and board members used the results as a recommendation, going with the option that rewards longtime staff.
In either case, the district will no longer provide a health insurance benefit to retirees and will instead contribute a set amount into a retirement account on behalf of teachers annually.
Bayside votes to modify NSFD funding agreement
Bayside - The North Shore Fire Department agreement will be modified to set a three-year sunset on the fixed percentage financial contribution for each participating municipality.
The Bayside Village Board on Sept. 20 voted to rescind the original resolution passed in June and approve an updated version specifying that the financial contributions are for the budgetary period of 2013 through 2015.
Village Manager Andy Pederson said the updated resolution specifies that the designated financial contribution percentages for each community will expire in three years, as opposed to five years, as the original resolution stated.
The change also was recommended by the North Shore Fire Department board of directors. Pederson said last week that all but one of the seven communities in the North Shore Fire Department had approved the modified agreement. Glendale approved the revised agreement at its Common Council meeting on Monday.
Shorewood approves revised fire department formula
Shorewood - The village is the latest community to approve a revised, three-year funding formula for the North Shore Fire Department. The formula determines how much each of NSFD's seven member communities pays annually.
From 2013 to 2015, Shorewood will contribute 17.45 percent toward the department's overall operating budget. The figure takes into account a number of criteria, including population, equalized property values and usage.
Glendale agrees to increased share of NSFD budget
Glendale - Glendale will contribute 28.16 percent of the North Shore Fire Department's budget for the next three years, as part of new funding formula approved by the Common Council on Monday and the other six NSFD member communities.
Glendale's new portion is half a percent higher than it has been over the last five years.
The council needed to first rescind an earlier version of the agreement without a three-year sunset clause - which had been requested by River Hills and Fox Point before being added by the NSFD board of directors - and approve a new version with the expiration date.
The member communities will need to approve a new funding formula in 2015.
Brown Deer district construction on schedule
Brown Deer - Outdoor work and construction of the Brown Deer School District's new field house is on time, on target, and on budget, contractor CG Schmidt and district officials said.
"The parking lots are in, hundreds of trees are in, and we're now on to the internal phase of the gym," district Finance Director Emily Koczela said.
Over the course of the next 30 days, construction will turn to the installation of masonry and the roof of the field house, as well as continued exterior work.
Overall construction is expected to finish in August 2013.
School Board approves teacher contract
Shorewood - Shorewood teachers will receive a 1.63 percent increase to their base salaries for the 2011-12 school year, under an updated contract with the School District.
The School Board on Monday voted to approve the contract with the Shorewood Education Association. The SEA had already approved the contract as well.
According to the agreement, which addresses base wages only and applies to the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, other subjects of collective bargaining with the SEA may be addressed in separate agreements.
Business Services Director Mark Boehlke said a portion of the 2011-12 general fund balance will be used for a retroactive salary payment to teachers.
SEA representatives praised the collaborative approach taken with regard to the negotiations.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Wisconsin Act 10, "What was really impressive was the way that we were able, as an association, with the board, to have the conversations we needed to have and come to an agreement that we felt worked for both sides," said Sachin Pandya, chief negotiator for the SEA.
The board also approved additional supplemental wage changes for teachers, as covered by Wisconsin Act 10, including advancing all employees eligible for step movement by one step on the salary system and granting lane movement to all employees who completed approved coursework by Oct. 1, 2011. According to the agreement, educational stipends afforded by lane movement may be modified for the 2011-12 school year at the discretion of the board.
Pizza shop to remain at retail space along East Capitol Drive
Shorewood - While Salvatore's Pizzeria is in the process of winding down operations at 2213 E. Capitol Drive, a similar establishment is poised to take its place.
Officials with True Light Promotion came before the Village Board on Sept. 18 with a request to obtain a retail intoxicating liquor and malt beverage license. The operators plan to reopen the shop in October under the name Falbo Bros. Pizzeria.
The board approved True Light's application with the understanding officials at Salvatore's surrender the existing license. Once the transaction is complete, Falbo Bros. personnel will be able to take it over. Background checks have already been conducted.
Shorewood's bike implementation study nears completion
Shorewood - After four years of discussion and drafting, the village's proposed bike implementation plan and study is near completion. The lengthy document was borne out of recent reconstruction along the busy Capitol Drive corridor.
As proposed, the plan touches on a number of issues, including plans for better street designs, encouraging safer routes to schools and improving bicycle education.
The Village Board is scheduled to act on the plan at a future meeting.
Village increases Montessori's payment in lieu of taxes
River Hills - The Glendale-River Hills School District has increased the Montessori School special use permit for payment in lieu of taxes from $4,000 to $5,000, which the Village Board unanimously approved last week.
The school has been paying the same amount for the past five years and to be in line with inflation, the district agreed to increase that amount, said Village Manager Chris Lear.
Village selects design firm for Green Tree Road project
River Hills - Green Tree Road will be resurfaced in 2013 and the River Hills Village Board unanimously voted last week to award Clark Dietz Engineers as the firm to design the project.
River Hills was awarded federal funds for 80 percent of the project.
The village was granted Department of Transportation funds for the project because Green Tree Road is the only arterial road in the village, which made it eligible for federal funding, Village Engineer Mustafa Emir said.
"That's the lowest category of roadways eligible for these funds, which is why DOT gave us these," he said.
Board makes appointments to committee, board
Shorewood - The Village Board on Sept. 18 appointed former School Board President Paul Zovic to its Conservation Committee. Zovic's term on the committee runs through May 2014.
The board also named Lance Mueller to its Board of Appeals and Board of Review. Mueller will serve as an alternate on both boards with terms extending through May 2017.
Senior Center to use space in Village Center for storage
Shorewood - The Shorewood Senior Resource Center has been given permission to use underutilized space at the Village Center for storage, following action Tuesday by the Village Board.
SRC, which has used space within the Village Center since its construction in 2002, has long struggled with storage space issues. To remedy the scenario, SRC staff can store equipment underneath a stair well, which is only possible after taking a number of fireproofing steps.
The village will not contribute any funds to make the enhancements necessary to comply with fire codes. Instead, the estimated $15,000 to $20,000 project will be funded through a local donor's trust.
Village Board OKs rezoning request
Shorewood - The Village Board on Sept. 18 approved a request to rezone property at 4214 and 4216 N. Oakland Ave. from a mixed-use designation to 100 percent commercial.
Suzanne Powers, owner of the property, said she intends to use both stories of the building for her real estate office. Under village code, the previous designation of the property prohibited commercial activity on both stories of the dwelling.
Ericka Lang, planning and zoning administrator, said Powers' request does not conflict with long-range planning for the village's central business district.
Village officials to discuss procedures for zoning changes
Shorewood - In an effort to keep residents abreast of potential property zoning changes, Village Manager Chris Swartz announced his intention to discuss possible policies and procedures as requests crop up.
The village currently mails notices to property owners in the immediate vicinity of the land in question. But Swartz said greater strides could be taken.
"I don't want this to be neighbor against neighbor, but I think I think it would be beneficial to look at this," Swartz said.
The issue is to be placed on a future Village Board meeting agenda.

Super cute
"These sandals are very cute and I've already received many compliments. They are sized normally (I am size 7.5-8 and average width if anything my feet are slight wide). I find I have a low tolerance for uncomfortable shoes. I know it's possible to find attractive footwear that is actually wearable all day. That being said, there are also shoes that are too cute to resist. Just looking at these you can imagine the problem areas. They are platform shoes with a very stiff platform and hard-ish straps. You are not running in these shoes. In fact, it takes a little getting used to, like ski boots. But after having on a whole work day, my only real issues were blisters in toes areas. For me, that's pretty standard with a new pair of shoes.I recommend these shoes to compliment an outfit. They are really attractive. But they're not going to be shoes you'll want to pack for sight seeing or anytime you're walking around a lot and/or on your feet for prolonged periods of time. But for a night out or an afternoon party, these are perfect!"

Fits OK but Looks Cheap
"These were pretty comfortable but looked very cheap. The strap attaches with velcro and the piping looks poorly done. It looks like the straps are 3 wears away from breaking off from the heel."

"Ok so these shoes are super cute and they really give you height BUT the straps are painful! It's like they're made out of some rough plastic and they absolutely DIG into your skin. I thought at first it was just "new shoe wear & tear" thing but after wearing these for 3 days nothing has changed. I went and ordered some of those sticky foams to stick on the inside of the straps to make these more comfortable because they really are cute and I didn't want to return them. However if you're looking for comfort over style I would definitely not recommend."

|In response to Re: sweating toilet tank
: For some reason, my toilet tank gets periodically covered with beads of sweat. Sometimes there is so much sweat that the beads run down and form puddles on the bathroom floor next to the toilet. Why does the tank sweat so much and is there anything I can do about it?
The first step, would be fixing any leaks. Flappers are common problems, and second in line with that would be the fill valve. If nothing leaks and the tank is still sweating, you can get an insulation kit that glues to the inside of the tank and insulates the china from the cold water. Terry

What are the coolest road-trip vehicles at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year? Step aside, regular SUVs and passenger cars. Here are my favorites:
1) The Ford Transit Connect Wagon: Coming out later this year, the passenger version of the popular small cargo van may not be the sexiest vehicle on the road. But it is so useful. Its long version seats seven. The rear seats fold down to make such a flat, wide surface that you could either put a sleeping bag in the back at bedtime or tote luggage for 20 Boy Scouts. It promises to be reasonably priced, can tow up to 2,000 pounds and gets up to 30 m.p.g. Call me crazy, but I like its humble vibe.
2) Mercedes GL450 SUV: OK, so its base price is about $64,000, plus options. Forget about that for a minute. This gorgeous SUV has optional, huge video screens embedded in the seats so each rear passenger has his own, sort of like on an airplane, but far plusher. Perfect for boring rides of 1,000 miles or more -- you'll never notice the world outside your Mercedes cocoon.
3) The Greenbrier van: It looks like a vehicle for Scooby-Doo -- and wait, it could be! It dates from 1963. It's easy to imagine this creaky Corvair-based van rattling down the highway, windows open, driver's hair flying, radio blasting. This Greenbrier's interior has been modified to a photo booth at the Chevrolet exhibit, tucked away near the back of the auto show. Take a picture of it, not just yourself in it.
4) Hyundai Veloster C3 Rolltop concept car: The hip road-trip vehicle on display at the Hyundai exhibit is white with turquoise wheel covers, with a white-and-turquoise bike sticking out the back of its odd-shaped hatchback. This concept car has a fold-down tailgate and a canvas roof that slides forward or backward to retract, depending on what you are carrying. It has three doors -- two on the left and one on the right. I can see a lot of good ideas here for a future road-trip-friendly production car.
5) Subaru Outback: Compared to all the flash and dash at this glittering show, this vehicle actually is pretty boring. So what? Its brand is so strong that it screams of being a fit, outdoorsy traveler, even if you're only driving it to church with your poodle.
6) Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition: True, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a more practical road-trip vehicle for 99% of travelers, especially families (and I'm happy to hear that Jeep also is bringing back a seven-passenger Grand Wagoneer in 2014). But nobody will forget you in Yellowstone if you show up in this glowy orange Wrangler, with its chunky hardware and flashy good looks. It also comes in handy for towing pretty girls' cars out of ditches.
7) Toyota FJ Cruiser: Again, this will never replace the more luxurious Land Cruiser for long family trips. It also has small rear doors and a tiny backseat. But it has interesting optional dials on the dashboard, including a floating-ball "inclinometer" that tells you how far over you're tipped. Wow! Your mother will be so pleased. Fun for driving west through the Rockies, and then into a giant mud puddle.

Deep Thoughts V
Robin Brownlee
January 12 2009 11:33AM
In the real world and in real life, there are times when honesty is not always the best policy.
Like when your wife asks you, "Do these jeans make me look fat?" And you say, "No honey. Those jeans don't make you look fat. Your big ass makes you look fat."
Like when you're a hockey coach with absolutely no intention of giving a particular player a chance as long as you're calling the shots because you don't like the way he plays and you'd rather see him traded -- or just go away -- so you don't have to think about him any more.
And you say: "I guess every time we call somebody up, we've got to defend it, why it's not Robbie. I think the bottom line is it's up to Robbie to be a decent player down there.
"We all know what he can do. He's got decent hands. He can work a power play OK. But he's slow. He's not a physical player. He's soft at this level. There are a lot of things in the game he needs to address to be that guy who gets called up. It's getting to the point where, I've got to be honest, he's not helping them, particularly, down there right now. There's no reason to think he's going to come up here and help us, given those circumstances."
The truth hurts
As everybody has heard by now, so said Oilers coach Craig MacTavish about Rob Schremp Sunday when Chris Cuthbert of TSN asked why Ryan Potulny and not Schremp had been promoted from Springfield of the AHL.
Now, contrary to what some fervent backers of Captain America believe, I can't say with a straight face that much of what MacTavish said isn't true. It is true of course, but that, like telling your better half she has a bum as big as bus, probably isn't very smart.
It's abundantly clear, if it wasn't before, that no matter what Schremp does, he's not going to make it with the Oilers while MacTavish is the coach. Not his kind of player. Not his kind of personality. We get it.
But instead of pointing out Schremp's flaws publicly and diminishing what little value he has as an asset, MacTavish should have played it smart and fibbed a little bit.
"Robbie's made a lot of progress and we liked what we saw when he was up here in December, but we're a little bit small up front right now, so we'd like to add a bit more size. Besides, Potulny has done everything we've asked of him and he's earned a look-see."
How difficult would that have been? MacTavish is a sharp guy and he usually plays it smart. For whatever reason -- maybe he's feeling the heat of what's been a disappointing first half -- he played this one like a, well, big ass.
Are we there yet?
As always in any edition of DT, some random thoughts and questions rattling around that spacious cranium of mine:
- Did Gilbert Brule show enough in Sunday's 2-1 win over St. Louis to start in Washington Tuesday with somebody other than Kyle Brodziak and Steve MacIntyre? Of course he did. Fact is, MacTavish should end his infatuation with Liam Reddox and start Brule alongside Shawn Horcoff and Dustin Penner for as long as Ales Hemsky is out. ??The Oilers have eight games to make a definitive call on Brule. Once he hit's the 160-game mark in the NHL, he needs waivers to be demoted or recalled.
- Pucker up all of you whose lips were stained with copper-coloured Kool-Aid during the pre-season. At 20-18-3 for 43 points at the halfway mark of the schedule, you can kiss a Northwest Division title goodbye.
- Nice home record, fellas. The Oilers are 9-8-3 at home and 11-10-0 on the road through 41 games. After surviving a brutal road schedule, they've piddled away too many points at Rexall Place. Now, they've got 20 games on the road and 21 at home in the second half.
- Schremp has "decent hands" and can work a power play "OK?" Schremp has amazing hands. What grates me about what MacTavish said isn't that he showed up Schremp by pointing out his weaknesses, he also downplayed his strengths.?? Would MacTavish ever dissect the shortcomings of, say, Ethan Moreau, Steve Staios or Sheldon Souray in the same fashion? Uh, no.
- With Jeff Deslauriers due back from his "We-can't-make-up-our-minds-on-which-two-goaltenders-we-want-to-keep stint in Springfield, can we expect GM Steve Tambellini to make a move this week?
- Does my mug shot make me look pissed off and balding?
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.

@ Chris: Because of the difference in their contracts. Aside from the first Chris Pronger trade, Hemsky's contract is the best thing Lowe has done as a GM.
I totally agree with this comment - that being said I would love Tambo to totally gut the team, rebuild after Hemsky & Souray while we have them locked up.
No couple of pieces here & there. Just like last year run with the kids & build a team.
The GM's across the league are well aware of the type of player Schremp is. MacT stating the obvious in the media has no effect on his trade value.
January 12 2009, 05:05PM
I wonder if one of Cogliano/Gagner + one of Gilbert/Grebeshkov would get the conversation going with Tampa Bay...
@ Jonathan Willis: No. Any sane GM would start with Hemsky. And, as you said, I wouldn't trade Ales for Lecavalier straight across right now.
Then again, with the kooks in charge down there, you might get Lecavalier for a Paul Kariya rookie card, a pallet of "merchandise" from the Rexall pharmacy and the rights to Jesse Niinimaki, Michael Henrich and Michel Riesen.
January 12 2009, 05:18PM
@ RobinB:
It would be nice from an Oilers' perspective if one of Horcoff/Gagner/Cogliano would start the discussion, but they'd need to be crazy to do it, as you said.
Still, Mackenzie says Montreal has offered Plekanec, Higgins, Subban, Gorges + draft picks for Lecavalier. I think Gagner, Gilbert, Eberle, Nilsson + draft picks compares somewhat favourably.
Wouldn't do it if I were sitting in the G.M.'s chair in Tampa Bay, though, either way.
LeCavlier will probably end up in Montreal if he is moved at all. I agree with Willis that Hemskey's contract is just too good to trade away. It's sad that the contract has become more important than the player who signed it... If the Oilers did by some miracle grab Vinny... What would happen if he retired after the 2016-2017 season? Would the Oilers be on the hook for for a three year cap hit of 7.73 million for a retired player who was already paid over 60 million in salary? Is my understanding of this correct? Why would the contract be structured in this way?

Negative. The only reason you get stuck with a cap hit is if the player was over 35 when they signed the deal. If Vinny retired tomorrow the Lightning wouldn't be on the hook for a penny.
The contract would be front-loaded for two reasons. First, Vinny gets more money sooner. Good for him.
Second, while the cap hit remains high, a low actual salary makes him easier to move later.

Thanks Mike.
@ Mike: Thanks. I didn't understand how that worked. I change my vote to yes- I would trade Hemskey for Vinny. Hemskey is an awesome player... but many find it difficult to develop chemistry with Hemmer because he is so unpredictable. Imagine LeCavlier with Cole. Or LeCavlier with Penner. OR HOW PISSED HABS FANS WOULD BE!
Im a little late to the party but just wanted to say that was a great piece Brownlee... I've kinda thought you were a jerk because of some rather candind comments in previous threads, but you earned (not that you prob care) a little respect back with the great points and the humour in the send off, lol... great read, cheers...
@ Corbs: Thanks, but always go with your initial gut feeling . . .
lecavlier for Eberle, Gilbert, moreau, 1st and 2nd rounders with a conditonal 1st rounder if we make it to the final's. plus throw in Shremp or Brule works for me.

This is like Groundhog Day . . . For me, the halfway mark of the season has always signalled the time when teams have had plenty of time to assess their situations. It follows, then, that the possiblity for trades opens up once everybody knows what they need. As far as Katz "stepping in," it's more a case of GM Steve Tambellini making the moves he deems necessary. What happens now is a hockey operations situation, not a case of the boss kicking the furniture around in Kevin Lowe's office and demanding that "something" be done. I don't see a coaching change until the end of the season and until Tambellini makes a trade or two to get everybody's attention. Let's not forget, the Oilers weren't going anywhere fast in 2006 until they got Roloson and Samsonov at the trade deadline. Not saying this team can do that, but they'll be close enough to a playoff spot the rest of the way that making the right player move could bump them into the top eight.
If the media reports regarding the state of the dressing room are correct then it is definatley time to make a move. The holes that are evident and need to be addressed. I know that first line players are hard to come by but it is obvious that we need a scoring center if we have any hope of making the playoffs. Tambellini really needs to show the fans some love.

You can't give up on Henrich so soon. Next you will be telling me that Kelly over Doan was a bad pick too I bet.
@ Wanye Gretz:
Former Bankrupt Owner George Gillette is in trouble again (ski resort and hotels)- Molson still owns 20% for background support. Buying the team and arena for $180mm was a steal, his soccer team in liverpool is for sale with Hicks.
Here is his bio - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_N._Gillett_Jr.
If VC is being traded - a one year expiring contract is coming back with draft picks - as Tampa is having trouble with payroll - very shakey.
Why does the Quebec media think every francophone wants to or has to play in Montreal - maybe VC loves his Ferrari, golf course and sandals.... clock is ticking on his no trade this summer - but in retrospect, the salary / contract is the rope around his neck with Khoules and Barrie looking for nickels.

Tampa might not want that much salary back (really) and would trade Hemmer to another team (draft pick) in a heartbeat - this is a fire sale - prior to bankruptcy. All Tampa has are seniors and early bird specials - mostly francophones wintering... so there is no need for VC to have a desire to play in Montreal for that french loving feeling...
I think Kovalchuk is more likely than Vinny.

Atlanta just named him captain to prove that he won't be traded. Waddell said, "We all know this team is Ilya's team and he's the face of the franchise. Obviously, I'm not going to trade him. I've squelched those rumors 100 times."
I'd like to comment on the angry fans calling for MacT's head on a pike. Obviously the team/certain players are underperforming but any 3rd party who tries to explain "why?" would just be speculating. Those who want a change in coaching because they're convinced it's all MacT shouldn't be so hasty. There has to be some accountability for the players; but if mgt decides a coaching change is in order it won't be for "whoever's available". Maybe the locker room has gotten stale in MacT's 9yr tenure, but it's an extremely difficult decision to make. If someone like Pat Quinn actually decided to jump on board and we tank the rest of the season...will the Mac T naysayers conceed that maybe it wasn't the coaching after all? I seriously doubt it. Don't think for a minute McTavish doesn't loose sleep over what he can do differently. A few years ago the biggest complaint was how he's not hard enough on the players. This year he takes a more aggressive approach and suddenly he's too hard on certain players. A coaching change may very well help the team chemistry but one thing is for sure; if I ever witness anybody giving MacT or K Lowe a hard time out in public, you will have one angry fan up in your face! Lets keep it in good taste and remember they bleed copper and blue more than any of us! P.S. This is coming from a 5 year season ticket holder.
@ Thorn: And you would take it upon yourself to be up in somebody's face because . . ?
PS: This is coming from somebody who has covered the team since 1988.

@ RobinB: "Bette rto get a seventh rounde rthan a fifth"
No. Unless by some miracle we get a moron of a GM for a trading partner (unlikely since Lowe is out of the GM game, I hear), the chances of us pulling one over on them with a Schremp deal are slim. IOW: if MacT and the Oil brass know Schremp is the suck, if fans (minus the cultists in the S.A.) know Schremp is the suck, if the numbers say Schremp is the suck, Schremp being the suck will not be a surprise to any team willing to trade for that bag of suck.
@ Little Fury: Again, what's your point? Your first comment on this was a smart-assed remark and this one is much the same.
@ RobinB: In their face for no reason other than shouting "You suck McTavish!!!" while he's with his child in booster juice is not a classy thing to do. (true story) Call me old fashioned but I'm big on respect. Of course we're all entitled to our own opinion, but when people take it to the point of trying to degrade someone in front of others' (let alone their pride and joy) I will always take issue...unless of course you've been covering the team since 1988...
@ Thorn: Anybody who would do that to MacT in situation like that deserves to be called on it, although trust me, I've known MacT a long time and he can handle any fool like that.
There's nothing old-fashioned about respect. At least there shouldn't be.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:06 PM GMT on February 11, 2008
The issues of global warming and climate change are important to many voters, yet the media has done a poor job asking the U.S. presidential candidates about these topics. In a study quoted by The Boston Globe, in 2007 the major TV networks asked presidential candidates 2,679 questions. Of those questions, only three were about global warming--the same number of questions that were asked about UFOs. With the presidential race narrowed down to four main candidates--Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Barack Obama--it's time that the candidates' views on climate change be given more attention. To address this need, the four major candidates have been invited to participate in Science Debate 2008, a verbal debate to be held on April 18, 2008, at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute. The debate is cosponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Council on Competitiveness, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. Nearly 100 leading American universities and other organizations have signed on to promote the effort, along with many prominent scientists, writers, and members of Congress. The debate is designed to discover the candidates' views on many science-related topics, such as climate change, clean energy, health care, science education and technology in schools, scientific integrity, GM agriculture, transportation infrastructure, the genome, data privacy, intellectual property, pandemic diseases, the health of the oceans, water resources, stem cells, conservation and species loss, population, and the space program.
We need your help to make this debate happen! Contact the campaigns of the candidates to ask them to participate in the debate, sign a petition to approve of the debate, or write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Chris Mooney, who authored the excellent 2007 book, Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming, is one of the leaders of the initiative, and has posted links one can use to help with these tasks, in his blog, The Intersection. Thanks for helping out!

"I have seen other versions of this shoe from different makes. Its a lovely shoe, only that my feet tends to be pushed out front so one has to learn to walk properly. It also has some silver studded detail not well shown on the picture online."

So Pretty.
"I love the semi circles on the ankle strap and cut out by the ankle. The patterned cutouts and rhinestones aren't flashy or busy. Unfortunately, I ordered them a size too big and would have exchanged them but my size was no longer available. They were very comfy and I would recommend this shoe to anyone."
