Playing Centre & The Top Nine
Jonathan Willis
August 15 2009 01:42PM
The centre-ice position was not a strength for the Oilers last season. Despite being blessed with an abundance of natural centres, the vast majority of them were either young, inept in the faceoff circle, or both. In a recent interview with Dan Tencer, Oilers G.M. Steve Tambellini talked about what his team's options were for the coming season.
The full interview is linked above, but here are the most relevant excerpts:
Tambellini: We've got a lot of people that can play centre, with Horcoff and Gagner and Cogliano and you mentioned Brule, and Patrick O'Sullivan, who headed up the top line as a centreman for Team USA at the World Championships with Dustin Brown reminded us how well he plays centre.
Tencer: When you look at the centre position - and you mentioned Patrick O'Sullivan - Marc Pouliot's another guy who's played a lot out of position, he's a natural centre going back to his days in Rimouski when he was playing on Sidney Crosby's line. Do you think about maybe moving Cogliano to the wing given his numbers in the faceoff dot last year, and moving O'Sullivan or Pouliot back to a natural position at centre? Is that an option? Tambellini: Yeah, I think it's an option. I think at times it will be a situation maybe that changes depending on performance like any other year… Pouliot gives you that little extra size and the right-handed draw also, so I know that he's going to get a look there also. O'Sullivan, he's a heady guy who can make the nifty pass and he can shoot. Like I said, he reminded us when he was playing on the top Team USA line that he plays very well there.
There isn't any reading between the lines required to get the idea that Patrick O'Sullivan is going to get a shot up the middle, and despite a lukewarm debut with the Oilers the idea that he might be a fit with Ales Hemsky remains a strong one. To quote Lowetide's "Reasonable Expectations" post:
Today's post is brought to you by the number 259. That's the number of shots Patrick O'Sullivan posted this past season in the National Hockey League. That's 74 more shots than Ales Hemsky managed (Hemsky's total led team forwards); the last time the Oilers had a forward with more shots it was 1998-99 and Billy Guerin was scoring 30 goals on 261 shots.
That shooter's mentality remains O'Sullivan's greatest strength to the team; it's a unique gift among Oilers forwards. So far, it hasn't translated into a ton of NHL goals (O'Sullivan's had totals of 22 and 16 goals over full NHL seasons) but it has at every other level: the four-time 30+ goal scorer in the OHL (with a miserable Mississauga team) scored 47 goals as an AHL rookie in 2005-06.
What would the Oilers' top-nine look like if we assume O'Sullivan as Hemsky's centre and Andrew Cogliano as a LW?
The players in the mix seem fairly clear-cut:
- RW: Hemsky, Pisani, Nilsson/Gagner
- C: Horcoff, O'Sullivan, Gagner/Pouliot
- LW: Penner, Cogliano, Moreau
Frankly, I think the most likely top-nine if O'Sullivan slots into the top-line spot is as follows:
- Penner – O'Sullivan – Hemsky
- Cogliano – Gagner – Nilsson
- Moreau – Horcoff – Pisani
There are a bunch of possible variations; Horcoff flanked by Cogliano/Gagner, Cogliano and Penner switching spots, etc. Still, that should be close, since I imagine the organization would like to keep Gagner up the middle as well, since that's where his NHL future lies.
There are a couple of other points worth noting about moving O'Sullivan to centre:
- O'Sullivan's best NHL season (2007-08) came while he was playing centre. It may be coincidental, but his point totals went down when he moved to the wing.
- O'Sullivan is, at best, a very vanilla faceoff option. Excluding last year, where he got very few draws (and many of them were probably of the more-difficult-to-win replacement variety) he's averaged 44.6% over 588 faceoffs. That's better than Cogliano, but not worth getting excited about.
I do believe we'll see Andrew Cogliano move to the port side regardless. He's been miserable on faceoffs, and the lessened defensive responsibilities have t be regarded as a good thing at this stage in his career. If that happens, and O'Sullivan also stays on left wing, I imagine we'll see Penner move to RW. He played it a bit under MacTavish as part of the former coach's ill-fated third line (Moreau – Pisani – Penner) and that would allow him to slot into the second-line wing spot with Sam Gagner – something that seems like a natural fit. That would give the Oilers' the following top-nine:
- O'Sullivan/Cogliano – Horcoff - Hemsky
- Cogliano/O'Sullivan – Gagner – Penner
- Moreau – Pouliot - Pisani
I think that's a reasonable group of forwards, although of course I'd prefer a more established option than Marc Pouliot for the third line and it also means the team will be banking on scoring by committee and steps forward from Cogliano/Gagner. Unfortunately, both seem inevitable, but fortunately both could work out for the team. It's a gamble.

I definitely like the looks of the final set of lines you threw out there. It will be interesting to see who fits where, and how long it's going to take for Quenny and company to figure it all out.
Just a thought.. Looking at that second set of top 9 forwards, nilsson isn't there. That would mean that his 2MM is gone, via AHL or trade, if the oilers run with that lineup. To me, it seems as if this would allow the oilers to sign a decent 3C such as Malholtra. I like it.
Honestly, I seriously hope we get rid of the waste of skin Pouliot and put in Brule.
Nilsson has no choice but to step it up because if he does not I would not be at all surprise if Schremp or Potulny gets a shot and if they play well will replace him for good.
I'm so thankful I am not on the coaching staff because we have 1 1st liner and about 7 2nd line forwards.
You have to admit, tencer does good interviews, I would love to see him interview Heatly, but he loves MacT so he won't do a good interview there.

Schemp would fit well on as a winger with Gagner, they have practiced a lot together and would know where each other is. As for Nillson, put him on waivers, no onw will take him, send him down and lose his cap hit.
The fact that Lowe didn't offer Reasoner a contract; AND Tambellini traded Brodziak; AND Betts/Malhotra have not been signed; indicates to me that Oilers management believes they have sufficient organizational depth at center... A troubling thought.
I see an insufficient level of size, experience, and high end skill down the middle. A guy like Malhotra would help... but does anyone belive that Malhotra is the one key ingrediant to launch the Oilers into cup contention?

By all accounts, Malhotra would be a nice addition to this team. However, cup contention? Personally, I'm happy if the Oilers get into the playoffs this year. Anything more is icing, especially if it means knocking out the Calgary Cro-mags.
August 15 2009, 04:04PM
I gotta say when you put them up like that.. I really like this team.
You know how fast our front 9 are? you put Brule on the 4th line and we are the fastest team in the league.... you could blow us over with a pin wheel but we're freaky fast.
August 15 2009, 04:46PM
I think this is a pretty decent blog....One thing I would like to comment on, is that nobody seems to be giving any credibitlity to the Oilers as a team that could make the playoffs....In my opinion, this is almost a DREAM TEAM...If you include Gibert Brule, and Robbie Shremp, the Oilers have 10 first round picks on their starting roster....Show me ANY other team in the NHL....past or present that can actually boast that as a stat. Now, I agree that a lot of these guys are unproven and, somewhat inconsistent, but I do believe this to be a radical year where Pat Quinn and Tom Renney can and will bring out the best in every player on this roster. Are they Stanley Cup Champions?....seriously doubt it....will they be competitive enough to make it to the playoffs?....I think it's quite likely. This team has an almost unlimited ceiling of potential and I, for one, am pretty excited to see what happens this season. I am content with the roster's depth and am pretty happy the way things turned out so far this off-season. I hope Tambi sticks to his comments about going in to training camp with this roster.

Well, the 2003-04 Pittsburgh Penguins had seven first-round draft picks.
Dick Tarnstrom led the team in scoring with 52 points.

Pouliot's a perfectly serviceable 4th-liner.

I'm with Willis. You might think the "waste of skin" line is witty (it's not), but it's hyperbole. While he's destined to be a bottom-six forward, Pouliot doesn't exactly qualify as Jesse Niinimaki or Alexei Mihknov.
Pouliot should not even be in the NHL, lucky for him he may be able to scratch out a living playing in Europe. He wont make the team this year, Brule and Schremp are coming into camp hungry for a spot and will have no problem out competing Marc. the only reason he played for us was because of the retard Mac T.

Sorry, Woogie, there's a new hyperbole champ in town -- calling MacTavish a retard is even more mindless than calling Pouliot a waste of skin -- and his name is Josh.

If Schremp had a "Perfect Camp"... I'd still send him down. One NHL camp is too small a sample size by which to hand out a roster spot. It drives me nuts when guys move way up a draft list on the strength of a single tournament (Like the above mentioned Niinimaki)... Why make the same mistake at camp? Ryan Stone scored at a greater pace than Schremp last AHL season and can also drop the gloves, and create energy in a bottom six role: and who expects HIM to make the team? Schremp hasn't been prolific enough as a pro to deserve a top six spot; and let's face it... he doesn't bring enough of anything else to stick on the bottm six.
If, against all odds, Schremp dominates (and I mean dominates) at camp, send him to the AHL and let him prove he can dominate there also. Then, make him your next callup. Shining for a few weeks alongside, AHLers, and recent draft picks just isn't enough.
August 15 2009, 05:45PM
In a few weeks most of our questions will be answered.The players are starting to arrive from their off season homes,training camp is a few weeks away and the regular season starts in 7 weeks.Cant wait for the season to begin,either Tambalini is a genious or im going to be pissed cause I wasted good money on season tickets again!
August 15 2009, 05:55PM
@ Chris: I am sure glad your not the GM or coach,If a player comes into camp and dominates, He does not deserve to be sent down he should be here,the players that are ready to compete should play, the ones that are not prepared should be sent down and or released,It makes no difference if their name is Schremp and or Staios,that was one of Mac Ts biggest problems was he kept on playing the veterans and his favorites,they could never do wrong,yet if Penner or Schremp farted in the wrong direction Mac t was sending them to the press box.
@ oilersseasonticketholdersince99:
Yes. Giving Thoresen a spot out of camp a few seasons back made a lot more sense than signing a proven NHL vetran. Players have to know that it is their TOTAL resume that EARNS them a regular roster spot at the NHL level.
Maybe, if YOU were the GM or coach, you'd hand out roster spots to unproven players who had a few good PRESEASON games... then be surprised when their play tailed off after a few weeks... and even more surprised when your team misses the playoffs again...
Wait. Oilersseasonticketholdersince99... are you really Kevin Lowe?
We have young fast forwards but they are gonna get pasted by bigger defenders, I still think there might still trades coming (I hope).
it's felt like fall this week here in the Okanagan, and man I've got the hockey itch. Even had my kids trying on their skates today to see if they'll last another winter. Played roller hockey on the street today, and am starting to think about my backyard rink. Checking the Shaw website to renew my Centre Ice package (only way to see all the Oil games here in BC)
I know this isn't the topic, but I can't wait for the season to get going.
August 15 2009, 06:25PM
@ Chris: The reason Mactavish is not here is cause he made retarded comments,played the wrong players and also had players playing in the wrong position,he also lost the room,Thoresen played well for us and he also was traded to the Flyers and even played in the play offs.
Chris you are the one who needs to come clean or should I just call you Craig Mactavish

Kevin Lowe doesn't have the balls to enter this form, besides he's to busy hiding from everybody for the cap mess he has gotten the team in.
August 15 2009, 06:47PM
@ viss.99: I agree with you,but MacTavish has alot of time on his hands is that not right Chris?
@ oilersseasonticketholdersince99:
I'm not a MacT apologist. I was calling for his head all last season as he became increasingly desperate and bizarre. But lets not forget that MacT took a team of MEN to within a hair of Stanley Cup glory...So it's not surprising he favored experienced, mature vetrans. It takes a roster full of legit, established, consistant NHL players to win at the NHL level. (It's surprising how few people actually understans this most basic of concepts)
Thoresen was a nightmare. He scored four goals in 64 games playing against soft opposition. He was never able to sustain a high enough level game to deserve a regular spot. Shame on the Oilers for wasting the roster spot... I'm sure there were piles of role players around who could have eaten up Thoresen's minutes in a more consistant and professional manner for similar dollars... Let's face it, vetran teams win. Aren't you tired of always cheering for a "young" team that never makes the playoffs with home ice?
August 15 2009, 07:10PM
I like your second set of lines:
1. Penner – O'Sullivan – Hemsky 2. Cogliano – Gagner – Nilsson 3. Moreau – Horcoff – Pisani
This keeps the kid line together who seem to click well together and have a lot of speed down the wing (Cogs and Nilsson). This also gives O'Sullivan a chance to prove his fist line center position and Horcoff being a shut down forward fits very nicely with Moreau and Pisani. The 3rd line would be a very good line to have against opposing team 1st lines, all three forwards are good shutdown guys and Horcoff has enough speed to counter attack on a turnover so that line should still be able to put up some points.

Using your common sense approach Chris,they should have also sent Sam Gagner to the minors as well.
Yes. They should have. This is a MENS league. NHL coaches shouldn't have to hide players in their lineups... NHL fans paying NHL prices shouldn't have to watch immature players bleed chances against saying things like, "He's gonna be real good one day", or "You got to remember he's still just a teenager..." Thanks to Oiler mismanagement, Gagner will be an RFA by 21, and already making millions of dollars just when he's no longer a liability... Wouldn't it be nice if Gagner put up fifty points against legit opposition this season on the first year of an entry level contract? Or how about Brule? Good job Columbus!
im glad mac t is gone... i liked him but he was to much of a players coach.. vetrans that played 4 him got the idea that it was allright to put their feet up and take a night off.quinn will not let it stand..not at all shape up or ship out
@ typol99:
Quinn likes vetrans too.
August 15 2009, 07:28PM
Yeah, I have to admit that Dan Tencer does conduct very good interviews. He's helped me to 'rediscover' AM radio, lol. For the most part, he's not only knowledgeable and well-spoken, but he occasionally varies from his usual engaging and polite style to ask difficult questions.
August 15 2009, 07:33PM
@ Chris: Beleive me I would be more than happy if we made the playoffs,I will not continue buying tickets if this team does not start improving wether it is with veterens or rookies, me and my family will go on a nice holiday every winter in stead of wasting our money on season tickets.
@ Hockey Noob:
I thought Tambellini was going to lose it two interviews back when Tencer pointed out that the Oilers were going to camp with essentially the same team... Radio Gold!

August 15 2009, 07:53PM
Who has better trade value Nilson or Schremp? Because which ever one does the Oilers should find a team willing to take one of them and maybe they can shore up some holes missing or collect draft pick(s). I personally think Schremp is going to be better than Nilson and they should have Schremp second line with Ganger and Cogs Cog-Ganger-Schremp would be sexy I think. And fourth line should have JFJ, I love the way he plays and he is a perfect 4th liner. Stortini-Brule-JFJ The first line of your article is the only spot that looks to be having a hole. Penner-O'S-Hemsky is 2/3 good just Penner doesnt seem to have the speed these two guys have. I like Penner as a third liner personally, so maybe the Oilers should trade Moreau or Pisani?
@ oilersseasonticketholdersince99:
I'm also a season ticket holder. I'm also very frusterated. When you sign a guy like Strudwick, you know what you're going to get. If Chorney has a better camp than Strudwick, it doesn't mean that Chorney will have a better season. Oiler fans like to dream about the high end potential of their players, forgetting that this is poor compensation for the on-ice product we are witnessing in the NOW. Twenty year old bodies simply aren't as strong; and don't take well to 82 games of physical abuse by grown men. Twenty year old minds are even more fragile... let the kids barhop, make mistakes, and ride the confidence roller coaster in Springfield. When, and only when, they learn to perform CONSISTANTLY at the AHL level, are they ready to earn a spot out of camp.
Horcoff worked his way up the lineup from a fourth line role...This should be the model. A first or second line player who can work their way up from the bottom six is often a better overall player. First, it's a right of passsage. The culture of any good club should be that everything is EARNED. Second, players who develop this way are more versatile... I like first liners who know how to kill penalties, hit, and generally get dirty...even when they have moved on to better things. Third, when a player ages, and his skills begin to fade, a guy who worked his way up can similarly work his way back down. (Remember Yzerman?) A guy like Schremp, who will NEVER be able to contribute in a bottom six role, will always be a marginal NHL'er even if he does get his offensive game going. The regular season is a grind... the playoffs are a war! I don't want a team with too many smallish offensive specialists... particularly ones who don't score.
Do not feed the loserville flameout first round fan he is a troll who deserves nothing but first round playoff exits. Obviously nothing exciting happening in flameoutville let's let albertas provincial team speak for itself this year

I heard Renney mention, very quickly after he was hired, that he thought Horc was a very good defensive centre that could play against the best opposition. I wouldnt be overly surprised if this

becomes the top 9 at some point in the season. It also might be why Manny Malhotra or some other player of his ilk isnt being signed when everyone and their mom's cougar friends know that the Oilers need a better checking forward.

@ Chris: Me too. Beyond my disgust at Horc this past season, if a defined role can let him get back on track to where he was 2 seasons ago then he could really help the team win. The ball is in Gagner's court this year though. The 3rd year is a young guy's time to sink or swim, IMO.

It's going to be quite a season. I'm kind of excited to see what the new coaching staff can do. I hope Penner shows up with a chip the size of Don Cherry's ego on his shoulder.
@ Archaeologuy:
I worry about Gagner's speed transitioning with Hemsky... particularly if Penner is on the same line. I also worry, that if Gagner does work out on line one; Tambellini will be paying out the A$$ on Gagner's RFA contract. Damned either way.

To reiterate (especially you, typo):

I'm a little concerned about what happens when Cogliano and Gagner become RFAs as well. I'm just going to be shocked when the lines are the same at the end of a game. haha.

Subtle Spikes!
"I love the whole spike and stud trend that is erupting right now. But I wanted to get something spiked that was a bit more subtle. These work because the spikes are the same color as the rest of the shoe.These shoes fit true-to-size. The only complaint I have is that the spikes on the back part of the shoe, on the inner sole area, are rounded. That is on both shoes. It is probably so a girl does not stab herself as she is walking.These shoes will not last hundreds of hours of wear. But they are a fashion shoe, so if they last a couple of seasons, they have served their purpose."

Vulvodynia is chronic discomfort or pain of the vulva - often described as burning, stinging, irritation, or rawness - when there is no infection or disease that would cause these symptoms. The discomfort may be constant or intermittent, in a specific spot or in a general area. Women who suffer from this little-known, but fairly common, disorder have historically been told it's "all in their head" or misdiagnosed with chronic yeast infections, but vulvodynia is a very real condition, although doctors still don't fully understand it. Sadly, it can have debilitating effects on its sufferers and there is no guaranteed cure.
Doctors aren't sure what causes vulvodynia, but they suspect it may be a combination of several factors, including an injury or irritation of the nerves that supply and receive input from the vulva, hypersensitivity to yeast, an allergic response, high levels of oxalate crystals in the urine, and spasms and/or irritation of the pelvic floor muscles.
There are two types of vulvodynia:
Generalized (dysesthetic) vulvodynia - Symptoms of generalized vulvodynia may appear in different areas at different times, including in the labia majora, labia minora, and/or the vestibule (vaginal opening), clitoris, mons pubis, perineum, and/or the inner thighs. The discomfort may be constant or intermittent and is not necessarily caused by touch or pressure (such as when riding a bike), but may worsen after such contact. Symptoms often worsen just before each menstrual period as hormone production changes.
Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS) - Symptoms of VVS are concentrated in the vestibule and flair up during or after touch or pressure, including sexual intercourse, tampon insertion, gynecological examination, bike riding, and wearing tight pants.
Vulvodynia is diagnosed by ruling out any other possible condition that can cause such pain, including STDs, infections, skin disorders, and HPV (LINK to article). Your doctor will perform a vaginal exam, during which he or she may use a q-tip to touch different areas of the vulva and vestibule to determine the location and severity of pain, and may also take a biopsy of skin or perform a colposcopy (examination of the genital area with a special magnifying glass).
Experts previously believed that vulvodynia was rare; however, emerging research is suggesting it is much more common. In a 2003 study, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) found that approximately 16 percent of respondents to a survey reported experiencing chronic vulvar pain for at least three months or longer. Nearly 7 percent of respondents were experiencing the pain at the time of the survey. One of the difficulties in establishing an accurate affliction rate is that many women don't report their symptoms to their doctor. About 40 percent of women in the BWH survey chose not to seek treatment, even when their symptoms limited their ability to have sexual intercourse. This may be due to the fact that some cases of vulvodynia may cause only minor and intermittent discomfort, many women may mistake the discomfort for symptoms of an STD or believe that some amount of pain in this area is normal. In addition, many doctors are still unfamiliar with vulvodynia and may misdiagnose their patients or dismiss it as psychologically-based. As a result, more than 60 percent of respondents to the BWH survey who sought treatment ended up seeing three or more doctors.
Vulvodynia spontaneously resolves in some women, disappearing as quickly as it appeared. However, for other women, the discomfort can continue for months or years, with potentially debilitating results. The symptoms are so disruptive for some women that they are unable to have sex, exercise or work and become severely depressed. Unfortunately, there is no cure for vulvodynia and no one treatment works for every woman. It is generally a process of trial-and-error to find a treatment that relieves symptoms. Options include:
To help minimize symptoms, limit irritation to the vulvar region by avoiding perfumed sanitary pads, powders, feminine hygiene deodorants, creams and soaps, as well as excessive washing and douching. Wash the genital area with just water and gently pat dry or dry with a hair dryer on the cold setting. Wear white, all-cotton underwear and loose clothing and avoid wearing pantyhose or sitting in a wet bathing suit for extended periods of time. Avoid hot tubs. Cold compresses applied to the external genital area may temporarily reduce pain and itching.
Because vulvodynia can make sexual intercourse painful and sometimes impossible, it is important to discuss the condition with your partner, or better yet, bring him to your doctor's appointment so he can ask his own questions and understand how this affects you physically and psychologically. And because this condition can significantly affect your sexual relationship you may also want to both talk with a sexual therapist to explore other ways to express your love and affection.

You will never see this happening on this site. They have a reason to not ask the tough questions and allow those guys to dodge about every semi-tough question. They constantly get flak for this, but still these interviews have a history on mmorpg.com.
But quite more annoying are those "interviews" in which they give the guys a spotlight for nothing but PR drivel and hype. With like every other answer containing little actual info but only "Oh, we are so excited about....".
Every -supposed to be- interview on this site has been a waste of space since forever. But i have to give to them that this has in general become a bad trend in the industry allover, not only here. Just read the interviews of GW'2's Colin Johanson or follow Anet's Reddit AMAs.
Having met James Casey in person @ PAX. It is truly sad to see the closing of WOH. He is a great person and truly passionate about his job. It is a shame he has to work for EA.
"In part of our shift to Mobile, we obviously will be shifting resources around to work on our current projects, like Ultima Forever, or some of our new projects and prototypes. Sadly I can't really give you any skinny on those at the moment, but rest assured, we will as soon as we can."
Yep great idea guys. Keep following those trends hoping to get a first class tricket on the next gravy train without really knowing WTF you're doing. How about you hire some people with some actual ideas that can make games that are entertaining on any platform, rather than your current method which is to just fling shit at the latest cash cow and hoping something sticks.
If you dont do stupid things while youre young, youll have nothing to smile about when youre old.

yeah this guy got it figured out +1
E.A. is going where the money is. your little sister, girl friend, and mom are easier targets to extract from,and are far less demanding.
I stick to my previous assertions, E.A. is for all intent, and purposes the Anti-Christ of the gameing world.
King Kong anit got nothin on E.A.
It is a sad day for me. Today is officially the day that i have to say that EA is officially worse then Activision. For all my hatred towards Boby Koytic.......EA managed to be worse. I gained a little respect for EA when i read the story about how Double Fine was screwed by Activision and how EA saved them and the awesome Brutal Legends game....but lately they done their very best to show that Boby Koytic isn't the most greedy person in the game industry anymore.
The real reason this game closes down is because EA doesn't earn enough on the microtransisions. As they stated a little while ago, they gonna put micro transitions in all their games (yup even those you just paid 60 bucks for.....battlefield players be aware, you will have to pay for every ammo clip soon if Real Racing 3 is any pointer to the path EA is gonna walk). This game wasn't even launched yet...yeah yeah open beta, well i didn't get any mail for a long time and i was in the closed beta (and couldn't play cause they only opened the servers for specific hours American time...im from Europe and at those times it was in the middle of the night for me).
Those who blame Mythic, please don't. Its not their fault. EA decides what game they have to make. Either they want too or not. Its just something developers get pushed down their troaths. Same goes for Bioware. Remember how great that studio was before EA took it over and labled every damn studio they had with the Bioware name? How every game suddenly was a Bioware game but not made by the Bioware team we all loved? Same goes for Mythic, they just have to do what EA tells them to do.
Publishers like EA and Acitvision are a curse and will be the death of gaming. Frankly i can't wait for that, so that publishers like Paradox keep standing cause they care for their buyers where the greedy ones will find out that their days are numbered. The course the game industry is heading right now only ensures us it won't last long. Its a bubble that is about to explode. Kickstarter and publishers like Paradox will survive, but the greedy will find their days numbered, real gamers don't take it anymore and the mainstream gamer will get smaller and smaller with all these microtransaction horse poop.
because they are just bunch of MORONS! they f*ed up warhammer online (never made it better even if the game was so promising) and then they decided to CREATE new warhammer game instead of FIXING the old one!...
stupid morons..that's it!!!
The world would have been a better place if EA SPORTS had stuck to only making amazing sports games
they changed genres and Ruined alot of peoples faith in them
EA had some amazing old sports games though hahah

Yes. A video game isnt a quick snack. you put money down to play it it should be around forever. in 20 or so years if i cant install and play Skyrim or anything else i purchased ill be pissed.
Waiting on:
WAR was bad once they kept patching and ruining each class... except the BW. Wished they would have brought in a decent team to take it over. Also they just need to make it F2P now.
But this monstrosity was horrid. No balance. Poor rotation of free heroes. Way too costly for amount of coins earned per game to buy heroes without using cash.
This is why the big, giant publishers are a blight on gaming. They have the money the developers need to make their game, and that means they hold the power.
You envisioned your game to be a challenge? Sorry, the Publisher wants it to be "accessible" even to those who would give up the first time they died on a level. Make it easy.
You had an original idea for your game? Sure, go ahead and make it, we'll give you money. But you have to change everything that made it special because different scares customers. Make it more like the current bestselling game out there. And make sure it has an online mode shoehorned in, even if it doesn't suit the game at all.
Take the money. You can't make your game without it. All you have to give us in return is full control of what you wanted to make so you can watch your dreams as a game designer die under the bootheel of the corporate suit who doesn't play games and doesn't give a damn about games beyond how much money they can make him.
This is part of why the crowdfunding success of Chris Roberts' Star Citizen/Squadron 42 cheers me up so much. 8.3 million dollars just from crowdfunding giving him unparallelled freedom from his investors to make the game he wants rather than what the marketing department of EA or the like tells him to make because that's what their focus groups say will sell the most units. It's not only a signal for the revival of a genre which was dead and not of interest to todays gamers according to the big publishers, but I see it just as much as a big, ol' middle-finger salute by the gaming community to the likes of EA and Activision. A statement that we will throw our money behind a project we believe in, and you greedy anti-gaming corporate vampires can sit on our collective middle-finger and swivel on it.
Unfortunately it's only a matter of time before EA and Activision both see the potential of crowdfunding and make a play to get their destructive claws in it and twist it to their horrible vision of what the game industry should be. I wish I didn't believe that, but I'm I guess I'm just an old cynic.

The Emery Spartans went on the road last week for four baseball games and not only won all four games but the team hit the ball really well. The Spartans scored in double figures each game and also had double digit hits in each ball game. Emery defeated Cedar City on Wednesday 13-0 as the Spartans collected 12 hits, led by Dave Justice with three.
On Friday and Saturday, Emery traveled to Montrose, Colo. and played three ball games. On Friday, the Spartans defeated Moffat, Colo. 19-13 and Emery had 16 hits in this ball game. Kyler Edgehouse and Ryne Jones led the way with three hits each.
On Saturday, Emery defeated Windsor, Colo. 13-9 in the morning and then defeated Olathe, Colo. 13-5 in the afternoon. Against Windsor, Justice and Edgehouse each collected four hits and against Olathe, Justice again had four hits. Emery had 17 hits in the first game and 12 hits against Olathe in the second game.
In the tournament, Edgehouse was 9 for 15 at the plate while Justice was 8 for 12 as the two seniors led the team in their amazing batting performance.
Against Cedar City, Emery scored four runs in the second inning, two more in the fourth inning and seven more in the fifth inning. Kade Jones was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk and scored twice. Ryne Jones was 2 for 4. Also having hits in the game were Jordan Gee, Edgehouse, Blake Mortensen, Steve Giles and Ryan Draper. Giles and Mortensen also had a double in the game.
Against Moffat, Mortensen, Draper and Trevor Komar also finished the game with multiple hits as Emery scored twice in the second inning, four times in the third inning, four more in the fourth inning, three in the fifth inning an closed out the game with six in the sixth inning. Also having a hit in this game were Kade Jones, Kesler Tanner, Justice and Giles. Players with extra base hits in the game were Mortensen with a homerun, Draper with a triple and Edgehouse with a double.
Against Windsor, besides Justice and Edgehouse with multiple hits, Ryne Jones and Giles finished with three hits apiece. Kade Jones, Mortensen and Tanner also collected a hit. Emery scored four times in the first inning, once in the second and third innings, twice in the fourth inning, four times in the fifth inning and the final run in the sixth inning. Ryne Jones hit a homerun in his first at bat and Blake Mortensen hit a homerun in the third inning. Ryne also hit a triple and Justice had a double.
In the final game against Olathe, Emery scored once in the first inning, six times in the third inning and six more times in the sixth inning. Riley Spears had a good game as he went 3 for 4 with a homerun and a double. Edgehouse also had three hits and Draper had two hits. Kade Jones, Mortensen, and Tanner also had a hit apiece in the ballgame. Other extra base hits were doubles by Justice and Draper. Draper also scored three times in the game.
For the Spartans, that was 57 hits and 57 runs for the week as the Spartans record now stands at 7-1. Emery travels to Vernal to play Uintah on March 20 and will host Union at home this Friday.

Great news emerged this week for elementary- and middle-school teachers who make gains in their students test scores. While the teachers themselves may not be pulling down big salaries, their efforts result in increased earnings for their students. In a study that tracked 2.5 million students for over 20 years, researchers found that good teachers have a long-lasting positive effect on their students' lives, including those higher salaries, lower teen-pregnancy rates, and higher college matriculation rates.
I'm a practical person. I understand that we spend billions of dollars educating our children and that the taxpayer deserves some assurance that the money is not being squandered. Accountability matters. I get it. Still, as a teacher, it's hard not to feel a little bit wistful, perhaps even wince a little, reading this study.
It's important to remember that its authors, Raj Chetty, John N. Freidman, and Jonah E. Rockoff, are all economists. Their study measures tangible, economic outcomes from what they call high versus low "value-added" teachers. This "value-added" approach, which is defined as "the average test-score gain for his or her students, adjusted for differences across classrooms in student characteristics such as prior scores," may work for measuring such measurable outcomes as future earnings, but it misses so much of the point of education.
I asked my Uncle Michael, a professor of law and economics, what he thought of the study, and he compared the proponents of the study's mathematical economic approach to education to acolytes of The Who's Tommy, pinball wizards who "sought to isolate themselves from the world so as to improve their perception of a very narrow sliver of that world. The entire 'assessment' enterprise defiles education as that word once meant."
He attempted to explain his feelings about the study in terms of mathematical equations – something to do with linear regression thinking and educational outcomes, but I got lost in the Y = a + bX + errors of it all.
Tim Ogburn, 5th grade teacher in California, phrases the debate a bit more simply: Why are we educating children?
His answer goes like this: Until fairly recently, teachers would have answered that they were educating children to become good Americans or good citizens, but now we seem to teach only to prepare elementary- and middle-school children for high paying jobs. When money figures into the goal, we lose so much along the way, such as curiosity, a love of learning for its own sake, and an awareness that many of the most worthwhile endeavors (both personally and socially) are not those with the highest monetary rewards.
To which I reply: Hear, hear. If economic gain is the measure of our success, we have lost sight our goals in education.
In order to round out the definition of "value" as defined by Chetty's study, I conducted my own research project. Sure, my sample was smaller – about thirty versus Chetty's 2.5 million, and the duration of my study was three days rather than 20 years…and of course there might just have been a wee bit of selection bias in my Facebook sampling. Oh, and I chose not to apply Uncle Michael's formulas because they gave me a headache.
The goal of my study was to find out what some of the other, less measurable benefits of good teaching. I asked people to write in with examples of good teaching, teaching that has resulted in positive outcomes in their lives. Who were their "high value-added" teachers?
Sarah Pinneo, a writer from New Hampshire, recalled her third grade teacher, who took her aside one day and said, "You are going to be a writer. Here's your portfolio. Every poem you finish, we're going to save it in here." Sarah's first novel will be released on February first, and she still has that poetry portfolio.
Carol Blymire, a food writer and public relations executive in Washington, D.C, recalled her kindergarten teacher "who taught me that letters make words and words make sentences…and is the reason I love to write today." She counts among her low value-added teachers, "Every other teacher reprimanded me for asking questions that came across as challenging them, even though it was really my way of wanting to know more and understand the bigger picture."
My favorite example came from Dr. Jeffrey Fast, an English teacher in Massachusetts.
"One morning, when I was a senior, we were discussing Maxwell Anderson's Winterset. While I can no longer remember exactly what I said, it was something about the interaction among the characters. Immediately after I spoke, [my teacher] responded by saying – for all to hear: 'I like you!' His response, of course, was coded language to identify and mark – for both me and my peers – something insightful. I felt enormously rewarded. That was the benchmark that I tried to replicate in dealing with literature ever afterwards. That was 50 years ago. He never knew that those three words catapulted me – to a Ph.D. and a career as an English teacher!"
While the studies of economists may add to the discussion about what makes teachers valuable in our lives, I believe that if we reduce teachers' value to dollars and cents, we run the risk of becoming, in Oscar Wilde's phrase, "the kind of people who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing."

Donut Hole residents start new petition
Residents recently annexed into the City of Pasco from Franklin County's Donut Hole are trying to get incorporated back into the county.
The new Pasco residents are working on a petition to change the boundaries of the Donut Hole to put everything back to normal before the annexation process began.
On January 1st, the City of Pasco annexed Area #2, which is the middle portion of the Donut Hole, in between roads 52 and 68 and in between Sylvester Street and Argent Road.
Many residents who live in the newly annexed area say they want to stay in the county.
This weekend, residents started collecting signatures for a petition that would give them the opportunity to vote on staying in the city or going back to the county.
"We strongly believe that we were not given the opportunity to vote on this decision. It was just crammed down our throats by the city council and the city manager. And no matter how much we opposed it and spoke up at the public meetings that we opposed it, it just fell on deaf ears" said Jan Tomlinson, who wants the boundaries changed.
Residents collected about 100 signatures this weekend.
Their goal is to collect about 1,000 signatures by May 1st, so a vote could potentially go on the August ballot.
Not all residents who have signed the petition so far want to go back to the county, but they say they would support a vote on the issue.
Pasco's city manager Gary Crutchfield, says annexing the Donut Hole has been part of a long term growth plan for the city for years.

I'm james bell. I began studying greek on my own two years ago in response to a question I could not answer; whether the comma in Luke 23:43 should be before or after the today. I still cannot answer that from the greek. I worked through about five beginning grammar books, difficulties noted that the grammar books typically had no answers to their exercises to help self independent learners. I am spending about 2 hours a day reading the new and old testament. Many times I don't fully understand what I read, so I underline the words I don't know, then go to another interlinear New testament and check my understanding of the verse, I'm slowly getting better, I'm on my sixth read through of the new testament. I'm also working through brentons lxx, finding it harder and much more underlining of new vocabulary and sometimes i note, that I understood little, but I keep on reading anyway.
I am really looking forward to writing with other people with an interest in God's word, and being able to ask lots of greek questions. My computer is a kindle fire.

Road Trip Begins With 4-3 Loss in Calgary
Jim Cerny
Friday morning Brad Richards stated that the Rangers could not expect the Calgary Flames to hand them two points just because they are out of playoff contention in the Western Conference. His words certainly seemed on the mark later in the night as the Rangers began their four-game road trip out west with a 4-3 loss to the Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The loss was New York's first in six games, snapping their season-best five-game winning streak. Coupled with Philadelphia's 4-2 win over Toronto earlier in the evening, the Rangers' lead over the Flyers for second place in the Metropolitan Division is now down to one point, and Philly has two games in hand.
"It was pretty uncharacteristic of us, usually we're defensively strong, but tonight it got away from us," explained defenseman Ryan McDonagh. "We could have controlled the outcome because we had the puck a lot during the game, but when we didn't we weren't as sound positionally as we needed to be. In the end, the key was we were too sloppy in our defensive zone."
Down by a goal midway through the third period the Rangers pressed for the equalizer on several shifts, but Flames goalie Karri Ramo made several important stops, including point-blank saves on both Marty St. Louis and Derek Stepan. Ramo finished the night with 38 saves, including 18 in the first period.
"We got some good looks, and we scored three, and that wasn't enough tonight," noted head coach Alain Vigneault.
Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, the Rangers erupted for three goals in a span of three minutes 27 seconds to grab a 3-2 lead. However Calgary not only tied it, the Flames scored with 7.8 seconds remaining in the period to carry a 4-3 lead into the third period.
"You get down 2-0 early and then are fortunate to get back ahead 3-2, you've got to be more tight and not give them that momentum back, but that's what happened," said Richards, who led the team with five shots on goal. "It seemed after we got ahead 3-2 we gave them four, five point-blank shots in the slot, and we dipped. We have to tighten that up."
The fourth line got the Rangers going with Brian Boyle scoring his sixth goal on a slam dunk in front at 2:12, with linemates Derek Dorsett and Dominic Moore assisting. Then 39 seconds later the Rangers tied the game when Raphael Diaz's right wing shot hit a Flames defenseman in front and bounded past Ramo at 2:51. The goal was Diaz's first in four games as a Ranger, and his second overall this season.
Richards, who assisted on the Diaz goal, scored one of his own at 5:39, giving New York its first lead of the night. Carl Hagelin hit Richards in stride on right wing with a quick pass and Richards made no mistake ripping a shot past Ramo for his 18th goal of the season.
Seemingly with all the momentum on their side, the Rangers took their foot off the gas peddle just a bit and the Flames worked their way back into the game. Kevin Westgarth charged Henrik Lundqvist's net and pushed a loose puck into the cage at 13:49, tying the score at three apiece. Lundqvist was angry with the officials thinking they should have blown the whistle since the puck was between his pads, but it was to no avail as the goal stood.
It appeared that the two teams would reach the third period even on the scoreboard, but with ust 7.8 seconds to play in the second the Rangers were caught on a bad line change and Mike Cammalleri proceeded to wrist one between Lundqvist's pads for his team-leading 24th goal, and once again new York found itself trailing. It was a goal Lundqvist most definitely would want back.
"That's just a weak goal, I can't give that up," admitted Lundqvist, who stopped 25 of 29 shots Friday. "That late in the period it's just a tough goal to give up, and it's on me. There's no excuses on that shot."
Despite peppering Ramo with 18 shots in the first period, and generating a slew of Grade A scoring chances, the Rangers did not get off to the start they wanted Friday night as they found themselves in a 2-0 hole after the first 20 minutes of play. Joe Colborne scored a power play goal with Dorsett in the penalty box at 4:51 to give Calgary an early advantage on the scoreboard, and then Flames captain Mark Giordano ripped a shot from between the circles over Lundqvist's glove at 16:49 to put New York at a two-goal deficit.
To frustrate the Rangers even more is that exactly ten minutes before Giordano's goal it had appeared the visitors had tied the game on St. Louis' first goal with New York, but after video review it was determined the puck was directed into the net off of St. Louis' skate after a sweet pass from Rick Nash.
With under a minute to play in the first Ramo was strong on a series of in-tight chances by the Rangers fourth line, and then made a sensational glove save on Stepan's point-blank backhand shot.
"It's disappointing," concluded McDonagh. "We've been sound here, we've been rolling as far as our defensive play, and it just slipped away from us."
New York played once again without Chris Kreider and John Moore. Kreider underwent surgery on his injured left hand earlier in the day back in New York and is out indefinitely, missing his second straight game; and Moore sat out his fourth consecutive contest due to concussion symptoms, though he did take part in the morning skate on Friday.
The Rangers return to action Sunday night when they face the Oilers in Edmonton.

All staff members of the Office of Financial Aid at California State University, Long Beach adhere to the guidelines restricting activity that could lead to a conflict of interest in the area of student lending.
For detailed information please refer to the Student Lending Code of Conduct that applies to all CSU campuses.
There are a variety of lenders that offer non-federal, or private, education loans. These loans are typically borrowed by students who are not eligible or do not qualify for federal loans or who have exhausted their federal loan eligibility. Private loans often carry higher interest rates and fees than federal loans and may have less attractive repayment terms. Approval of the loan is typically based on your credit rating and debt-to-income ratio and may require a co-signer. The interest rates are variable, meaning they can change on a monthly basis, and are determined by the information in your credit report.
If after exhausting all sources of federal funding you decide to borrow a private loan, ask questions and compare lenders to ensure you are making the best choice for you.
New provisions in the Truth in Lending Act, implemented February 14, 2010, have resulted in a number of changes in the process for applying for and receiving private education loans. Lenders who provide these loans must comply with the following requirements:
Your lender should provide you with all of the information you need to know about these requirements, but if you have questions, feel free to contact our office.
You can also determine your cost of attendance from CSULB's Estimated Student Budgets.
Remember to send your completed self-certification form to your lender. Your loan cannot be disbursed until your lender receives it.

RegrowthI'm 28 and have noticed thinning and loss when I was 22-23 around my hairline. I finally started to do something about it a little over a year ago by using MinNY products. I decided to start trying to regrow hair by trying this product. I've been using this for 2 months now and I noticed thickening and regrowth. However, I only use it once a day, at night. It just takes too long to dry for me to use it in the morning and it's yellow and I don't want it to stain my clothes. SO, I use MinNY's serum in the morning, so that I have something working for me during the day, along with MinNY Define hair product to add DHT blocking. Then, I use Spectral DNC for the night. I love the results that I've been seeing and I've gotten use to working with a routine. I think this stuff is great, it just takes awhile to dry.Mar 10, 2010KeithHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Disasterous Formula ChangeI have been using Spectral DNC since September 09. Everything was great--I had a shed, but that turned into growth. By December of 09 my hair looked the best its looked in 2 years. Much thicker and more hair and less hair loss. But then around January 10 I started to loose all of my gains and then some. It's now March and I am still losing and now getting ready to buzz my head because I have no other choice. I attribute the loss to a change in the formula. Nothing else in my regimine has changed. When the formula was yellow and cloudy I had amazing regrowth. When they changed the formula to the "newer improved" one that's clear and golden I experienced major loss. Please change the formula back ASAP!Mar 3, 2010Mike From Ny

No MoreI don't like this shampoo at all. After using it my hair looked messy and oily.No miracle results at all, but just sadness at myself that I waisted my money. Cheap quality! Where is the citrus smell? I will never buy it again. People don't waste your money on this product!Feb 10, 2010Anna / Seattle, WA

Still Trying...Well I have been using Spectral DNC for about a month now. I am a 29 year old male with a decent thinning crown. Ive tried Rogaine foam for several months and it did so so as someone else said above. I tried this product and i did notice the shedding right away which I know thats common with ANY hair restorative product. After a few weeks I have noticed my crown looking a little thicker. However I do not use this 2 times a day as the directions say for 2 reasons. Number just like rogaine it is very expensive to be applying this 2 times a day. # 2 I find that it makes my hair kinda gummy or stiff like hair spray and it makes my hair a little harder to manage in the morning. So I apply this at night before bed and I also use the Nutri-OX System for extremely thinning hair which contains a special shampoo conditioner and some spray in stuff that is supposed to create a healthy blood flow in my scalp and deliver tons of nutrients to the follicles. So far between the two my hair IS alot thicker. So over all if I had to recommend this or rogaine. I would have to say spectral DNC as I am seeing results quicker. Also once you receive this product read the insert that comes with it as it is VERY informative on how this product is made to work unlike rogaine where it just says use it night and day 2 times a day and only 85 % of men seen results... thats kinda disheartening as to where spectral DNC guarantees your results in the insert. Long story short I will be buying another bottle.Feb 7, 2010Eric / OnstedHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Triclosan In Its FormulationGood decent product. The big concern is the usage of Triclosan in the Aminexil conpound. I did send an email to DS Labs, and they kindly respond. Here is the DS Labs. response: Thank you for your interest in DS Laboratories' products. The only reason that the leave-in products in our hair re-growth line contain Triclosan is because this ingredient is contained in Aminexil. Aminexil is a patented compound and therefore we cannot manufacture it ourselves. L'Oreal is the patent holder on Aminexil and we source this compound from L'Oreal. Because it is used in Aminexil and then the final product is added to Spectral DNC-L/DNC, the concentration of Triclosan is very, very tiny and is chemically considered absent. In other words, there is such an insignificant amount of Triclosan in Spectral DNC that it is not considered as one of the ingredients contained in the formula. We are always updating and improving our products, so if, in the future, there is some way to remove Triclosan from Spectral DNC-L/DNC without losing the benefits of the Aminexil compound, we certainly will do so. Please let us know if there is anything else we may help with. Regards, Angie B. DS Laboratories, Inc. Customer SupportJan 20, 2010Jos� / Porto - Portugal

Great ProductI just ordered my 3rd bottle. I find this the most powerfull product out there. I had tried rogaine which is so so but it didn't fill in my very thin area. This product certainly did. The co makes a type without minoxidil which I found real weak not nearly as good as this type. I now only use it once a day (before bed) and it has kept my hair where there was no hair before. The first bottle I used twice a day than only once a day after that and very happy with it.Dec 6, 2009Lewis / Miami, FloridaHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

The Best In The World.This solution is the best in the world right now.All its ingredients are encapulated in nanosomes so it only uses 0.5% alcohol so it causes no irritation,and once it is applied to the scalp it disappears straight away so you know that it is a true nanosomal solution. I pretty much restored all my hair line with this product when every thing i have used over the last 15 years has failed,or cause major irritation.Nov 28, 2009Luke / Australia

This Works For MeI've tried many products through the years but this seems to work best for me. I can actually see growth. I've been losing my hair for over 20 years and have tried so many different products I've lost count. I only use it once at night but it doesn't last me a month, more like almost 3 weeks. Maybe I spray more than I'm suppose to. Very happy with product but wish it was cheaperNov 20, 2009Michael / Hoboken, N.J , USA

Good ProductThis stuff is gold. I had been losing hair for a while and tried a number of things, actually I had about 5 products I was using at the same time. My daughter told me my hair was looking worse, not better, which is when I decided to try something totally different. Id heard about Spectral DNC, but I wasnt prepared for the results. Almost immediately I noticed a difference. My daughter came up to me about 2 weeks after I started using it and told me that she had never seen such a radical change. I recommend this product. Its easy to use and works!Feb 4, 2009Jd / Ohio
