Painter Sandra Kaplan, who says she "employs different focal lengths in the same painting, emphasizing differing aspects of what we do (or don't) see," has selected a variety of works for awards — just over 80 — from the pieces submitted for the 2012 Own an Original exhibition, which opened at the Littleton Museum on Nov. 15 and runs through Jan. 13.
The show is organized annually by the city's Fine Arts Committee, a volunteer group appointed by the city council to advise on art purchases, to stage exhibitions and to offer art-related programming.
In its 47th year, the show has become stronger in overall quality, although this year, there are no longer the fine crafts that were potential holiday gifts.
Kaplan commented that the work in the show is "quite conservative," while she likes some adventure. "Much of it is really technically proficient."
Of her choice for best in show, "Pine Needle Branch, Provence," a watercolor by Ralph Nagel, she said: "It's not showy, but every stroke is meaningful. For a watercolorist, that is really, really hard to do." The subtle painting of several mature pines in a wooded area has a slightly Oriental feel to it. It is exhibited on the north wall of the gallery.
As one enters the gallery, Sina March's oil painting "Happy Buddha" welcomes visitors. "It has a subtext that most of this work does not have," Kaplan commented of the first-place winner. "It's amusing." The painting shows a small Buddha figure on a table, surrounded by an orange, lemon and other offerings. She also cited March's "Soft Side of Manhattan," which pictures people in Central Park, with high-rises in the background. "It shows the interaction of humans and nature — what I usually look for …"
A large oil landscape, "Gore Creek," by Karen Burch was one of about five candidates for second place, she said, but much bigger than the others. "It's loosely painted. It's hard to maintain a consistent sense of color, brush strokes and style on that scale."
"Eye," Minoo Asaadi's paper collage, won third place. "It's really adventuresome, odd. I would love to see that painter work larger."
In a phone conversation after she had finished judging, Kaplan repeated, "It's a really good show." She was surprised there were not more entries, given the very nice first prize offered: gallery space for the winner's own one-person show, plus a $1,000 check.
She was unable to attend the opening reception because she serves on an NEA panel for museum awards and she had to be in Washington, D.C. A closing reception and gallery walk/talk are planned, according to the museum's Lorena Donohue.
If you go
Own an Original is open through Jan. 13 during museum hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free. The Littleton Museum is located at 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. 303-795-3950.

Aston Grey Savoy Penny Loafer
"Bought the Espresso color; The fabric of the shoe is suede; The color is a lot darker than I expected. Looking at it from a far distance, it would look like a black colored shoe. I liked the way the color blended in with my clothing. The sole of the shoe should last long because it is not made of rubber materials. I would recommend this shoe. If they had one in black suede, I would have also bought it."

"The brown suede is a very dark suede, kind of like dark chocolate. The suede is very soft and flexible; it is broken in right from the start. They aren't as comfortable as tennis shoes but will be the most comfortable dress loafer you will own. Easily dressed up with dress pants or even jeans."

Will watch out of respect this evening. Frist good video posted here in months!ReplyCancel
Such a commanding but a relatable onscreen personality. One of the first actors, along with Mary Tyler Moore, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, and Goldie Hawn, to make the successful crossover from TV to films, and then back again (even though he started off doing a mix of both). He paved the way for Tom Selleck, Mark Harmon, even George Clooney on ER, I'd say. Of course, younger generations only know him for The Notebook, and maybe, just maybe Space Cowboys, but he's had one of the most prolific television careers of all time.ReplyCancel

PRICE-Today our sun will shine a little less brightly, and there is aching in our hearts and souls. But a man who has waited patiently for nine years, must wait no more. On Aug. 22, 2003, our beloved mother and grammy, Glenna Gene Storrs Pappas, joined her beloved husband, and they are both complete again. Gene S. Pappas (she never liked, nor used Glenna) was born Oct. 26. The year of her birth is a little less certain. She placed it at 1923, but older siblings and family genealogy liked 1924 better.
She was born in Salt Lake City, the sixth of seven children born to Fred and Lottie Storrs. She was raised in Price until her mother died, then her father moved the family to Provo. She graduated from Provo High School in 1942, and attended Brigham Young University for two years. These were the years of World War II, and she left school to work in Salt Lake City at Fort Douglas when the Presidio was moved there from San Francisco. When the war ended she chose to stay in Utah. She returned to Price to work, but shortly afterwards was a passenger in a horrible car accident. The two people with her were killed, and Mama's philosophy became that she had survived "for a reason." Her struggle to first live and then recover took a year, and she displayed the steely determination that was such a part of her nature.
She first returned to work at First National Bank and then became a stenographer for Attorney A. John Ruggeri. It was during her employment there that a young attorney, newly home from the War, walked into her life and her heart. She had known him, or of him, as there was a six year age difference, from her childhood in Price. But from the moment Luke G. Pappas walked into that office, she knew what her "reason" for survival had been. Theirs was a love that defied the conventions of that time (1947) as she was a Mormon woman of old pioneer stock and he was the son of Greek immigrants. Mama used to say that Papa "hid" her for two years. Papa would reply that she kept "stepping in front of his car, and he either had to marry her or run over her." Marry her he did. On May 15, 1949, in spite of family wishes and social mores, they were joined in marriage at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price. From that point on, they were a team. Not always a quiet team, given the different cultures and their Greek versus Irish temperaments, but an inseparable team just the same. She worked for a number of years in his law office and volunteered as a type teacher for Notre Dame School. But her defining roles in life were always wife, mother and grammy. Through the years of a lifetime, the two of them moved from Gene and Luke, to Mama and Papa, to Grammy and Poo-ee-always point and counterpoint. They cherished their two daughters and words are inadequate to describe their feelings for their twin grandsons. Then on a March day in 1994-the unbelievable but inevitable-Papa had to leave. Separated after 47 years, by the only thing that could separate them, Papa began his patient wait. Mama struggled on alone to complete the "instructions" he had given her. He told her to see that their grandsons got an education. In May 2002, their grandsons graduated Magna Cum Laude and Suma Cum Laude from Luke's alma mater, the University of Utah. Now, with work complete and lives complete, Gene and Luke hold each other once again. Those of us left behind, who miss them so much, also know, undeniably, that there is a mighty team of two who will love, guide and protect us every day for the rest of our lives.
Those who now "wait" behind include cherished daughters Joane Pappas White of Price; and Lucia Pappas Finley of Raleigh, NC. Beloved twin grandsons Ethan Finley, Raleigh, NC and Ian Luke Finley, New York, NY. Special grandson Todd Gaskin, Imperial County, Calif. Gene's adored sisters, Irma Judd, Edna Thompson, Helen Cluff and Nan Baker. Gene is now with her parents, brother Art, sister Donna and son-in-law Brian White.
Please "wait" for us.
Trisagion service will be held at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 East Main, Price, on Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. A tribute and Orthodox prayers will be at Mitchell's on Aug. 28 at noon. Burial will take place at Price City Cemetery, where Gene will rest once more beside her beloved Luke.

Stars acquire Brian Sutherby
Jonathan Willis
December 14 2008 04:43PM
According to TSN.ca the Dallas Stars have acquired forward Brian Sutherby from the Anaheim Ducks, sending back the NHL rights to David McIntyre and a conditional draft pick. Sutherby is in the final season of a deal with a $700K cap hit.
McIntyre is a middling prospect -- he was a fifth round pick in 2006, and has a reputation as an excellent skater with good hands and a willingness to play a gritty game. He had 32 points in 39 games for Colgate University last season, and leads the team this year with 12 points in 14 games. The best Oilers' comparable is probably Bryan Lerg, who is a little smaller but has very similar scouting reports and better offensive totals.
The interesting player in this deal is Brian Sutherby. Sutherby's generally listed as a centre, but he's spent quite a bit of time on the wing the last couple of seasons in Anaheim. Sutherby's 6'3" and 215lbs, and this season has six points in 17 games. He's been hot and cold on offence for the last few years -- in 2005-06 he scored 30 points in 76 games, while last season he had two points in 50 games.
Here are some of the key stats for Sutherby:
Time On Ice: 5:46 EV, 1:16 SH
RTSS: 10.6 Hits/60, 48.9 FO%
Penalties: 3 majors, 2 minors
Outshooting: 74 shots for, 81 shots against
Behind the Net Even-Strength: 4.29 PTS/60, 4.90 GFON/60, 1.23 GAON/60
On top of all that, Sutherby's benefiting from some ridiculously good numbers at even-strength (.958 on-ice save percentage, 16.3 on-ice shooting percentage). The shooting percentage number in particular is the best on the team; no matter how good a season Sutherby's having, he isn't an equal to guys like Getzlaf and Perry, so it seems reasonable to say that it isn't likely to continue.
Sutherby's penalty-killing numbers this year are the worst among regular Ducks forwards, while last year they were the best, so he's likely an OK penalty-killer; given that he's only averaging just over a minute short-handed a few goals against would inflate his numbers beyond where they would likely settle over the course of a full season.
Other than that, Sutherby's numbers are inflated by where he's being played (his ratio of offensive zone to defensive zone face-offs is a very amicable 3:2), and he brings a lot to the table physically, both fighting and hitting with abandon. Basically, if somebody were to give you a can labeled "NHL fourth-Liner", Brian Sutherby would be inside of it.
The Oilers could handle that kind of gift right now -- the fourth line has been a problem for most of the year, and Marc Pouliot could probably use some better support than Tim Sestito, Jesse Boulerice and (shudder) Ladislav Smid. Based on this trade today, the cost is probably a mid-range draft pick or one of the three hundred interchangeable offensive prospects the Oilers have in the system; in other words, availability probably isn't what's keeping them from making a trade. Heck, Chris Gratton could be had for the price of a plane ticket to bring him here. That really leaves two reasonable scenarios in my mind:
- The Oilers' brass don't see a need for an end-of-roster player
- They're setting their sights a little higher (read: third line centre who can take face-offs and play a physical game)
Given where the penalty-killing is sitting this season, I'd bet on the latter.
Jonathan: That's a great gag mugshot with your bio. Looks like something from Dial-A-Nerd or Simpletons R-Us. Who is that goof, really?

I've seen your mug-shot, Brownlee. Glass houses, and all that.
@ Jonathan Willis: If you've been paying attention, you know I'm pretty quick to run myself before anybody else does.
While I won't be on the cover of GQ anytime soon, my time-worn mug, battle scars and eye bags won't get me mistaken for the supervisor of the Edmonton region Geek Squad or a 17-year-old Bob Layton.
Good Lord, Jon, is that a real mugshot of you?

I see Brownlee is in the Christmas spirit already.
"...or a 17-year-old Bob Layton."
The resemblance is uncanny. Bah-ha!
I'd agree with you Jonathan on the sentiment that the team is setting their sights higher. It fits the Katz M.O. My gut tells me that if we're in the mix a month from now, something big is gonna happen.
December 14 2008, 09:40PM
Sutherby, was awesome when he played in Washington. I wish we never let him go. I think this move to Dallas will be good for him and you will see the resurection of his 30 point season going forward.
Good luck in Dallas Suts
December 15 2008, 12:14AM
Ah, the mug shot.
The bane of all writers since the invention of the printing press.
And I thought that Liam Reddox looked about 12-years-old in his mug shot . . . .
I will say this, you're awfully wise for a guy in Grade Eight, Jonathan.
December 15 2008, 12:48AM
I think you make a great point Willis, except the fact that Anahiem wont trade with us if the life of the franchise dependended on it.
December 15 2008, 01:05AM
The only guys talking trash about the mugshot are the journalists... ?
Sutherby was the leading scorer early this year for the Ducks and yet was sat. That makes no sense.
The burns flying around in here? That makes no sense either. This must be some sort of hazing ritual for Willis with the 'real' writers. I see Wanye is having no part of the chatter and his picture is a middle finger on fire.
December 15 2008, 08:37AM
Sutherby rhymes with butterbean, which rhymes with flutter flea, sorta, which also rhymes with gunder gee which rhymes with...wait for it...WHO CARES??!! Laugh out quiet...loq? My hope is that this was just a joke because it's about a Duck, and no one in LA or pardon me Anaheim gives a phack(sorry kids, but if you're reading this put down your mini-hockey stick and talk to a girl, also if you're here than you really enjoy the internet and I'm sure you've seen something worse than Phack, for instance,http://www.flamescentral.com/, which is a stunning example of non-heterosexu... ask your teacher... ) ok, it's way too late for adult beverages. That and Smid is a beauty that I bet could beat me down in a bar,HOWEVER, i could definitely beat him in flip cup, beer pong, and walk off's. Big time.
Happy holidays Nation.

I've always really liked Sutherby - I was shocked when he got traded to the Ducks. It would be nice for Dallas if he could bounce back to a third line forward with offensive presence - certainly he'll get a better opportunity there than he did with the Ducks.

I don't know - Burke isn't the GM in Anaheim, and we've been told that Kevin Lowe is no longer the GM in Edmonton, so that barrier should theoretically be gone.
December 15 2008, 11:18AM
@ Jonathan Willis:
Yeah but if we suspect Lowe is still the man pulling the strings, people who are in the "know" working in the front offices would know a lot more. And I cant imagine Burke was the sole and only man in Anahiem calling for Lowes head on a platter after that. Burkes influence runs deep and im sure Bob Murray has some opinions on the whole Penner deal.

If the Oilers do a deal, Katz is bringing in a brand-name. Either it will be an upgrade (ie. second-line guy leaves, better second-line guy comes in)or it will be a straight-out purchase where we bring in a top-6 guy using the last of our cap-room (and probably dumping a goalie)and everyone on the third and fourth lines moves down one chair. Neither Katz or K-Lowe are brazen enough to ignite the firestorm of protest that would come with the acquisition of a fourth-line grinder. I think most people in Edmonton believe that more is required to get this team back on track, and while K-Lowe & Co. most likely agree, they would probably worry about the PR and fans not understanding that they have other irons in the fire. To avoid all that unpleasantness, I say the big deal happens before any of the minor moves.
December 15 2008, 01:48PM
@ Ender the Dragon:
I'd suggest that the Rangers would be the likely trading partner - Sundin's (allegedly) poised to make a decision before the Dec. 19 roster freeze, and if Sather's serious about picking him up, he might be willing to send a decent player to his favourite GM.
December 15 2008, 02:29PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
You mean Sather's favorite President of Hockey Operations, Right? ;)
December 15 2008, 02:42PM
@ Ender the Dragon:
But of course :) I took a look at the Rangers roster, and I'm not seeing anyone that jumps out at me. I have no idea how they're going to clear space for Sundin since a) he presumably wants to play with Naslund b) Gomez, Drury, Redden and Roszival are signed long-term at massive dollar amounts and c) Petr Prucha's like Robert Nilsson except smaller and less effective.
December 15 2008, 03:52PM
@ Jonathan Willis: The only Ranger I'd want is Zherdev, but I looked at his production and his salary. There's no way at all that Sather moves him; we haven't got anything to offer that they'd take in return. I'd say your assessment is on-target; the only way Edmonton sees any action from a potential Sundin NYR signing is as a part of an NHL ménage à trois, and that's as unlikely as a Wayne Gretz ménage à trois.

The color of the pump is gorgeous. The shoe runs true to size, however if you get a size larger (like I did) the strap keeps your shoe on.. I also purchased the shoe a half size larger (8.5 vs. 8) just in case it was narrow. I tried the black leather ones in store (8) and they are just as sexy and were not narrow."

GDB 47: One Samwise short of a Fellowship
Jason Gregor
January 27 2009 12:00PM
Sam Gagner will not play tonight, and looks to be out 10-14 days, which means some line juggling.
With Gagner's ankle still bothering him, Craig MacTavish could have put Liam Reddox in his place, but thankfully he moved Cogliano in the middle of Nilsson and Cole. The lines will be as follows tonight:
27 - 10 - 83
12 - 13 - 26
18 - 78 - 85
43 - 51 - 33
It does look like Stortini will be available to play Friday against the Wild. He still needs a few more practices according to MacTavish and then he should be ready to go. Local 2006 Hero Fernando Pisani is still a few weeks away until he is ready. He's having some discomfort skating, so the pain needs to subside before he can go full out.
Gagner wrenched his ankle in their last game against Columbus and he did have some treatment on Wednesday before he left for the all-star break, but his ankle hasn't responded and he underwent an MRI yesterday.
He had been playing with the wonky ankle for some time, and according to his coach it has affected his game.
"Greatly, I think. Probably more than he would admit. You see it behind the bench that he comes off normally once or twice a game with a pain inhibition, where he tries to make a move and you get that shooting pain up your leg and it just stops you."
Gagner hurt the ankle in practice in mid-November and has been taping it up every since.
"There is nothing torn, so it is nothing long term or serious. Sometimes it gives out skating, but mostly going into battles is where I feel it, when I have to plant down on the foot," said Gagner.
"Going into last game it was a matter of going into that game and then getting some rest over the break, but I hurt it twice in that game and now I just need to rest it."
With Stortini eligible to play by Friday, don't expect a call-up.
Dwayne Roloson will start tonight, and you wonder when Deslauriers will get a start.
"I thought about possibly today, but decided against it," said MacTavish. "There was some serious consideration in playing him today. Sometimes you can over-think these things a little bit. Maybe the most important is to go with Roli while he's playing as well as he is. I don't want to get into a case where I out-think myself. The situation will present itself and it will be a bit more obvious than it is today."
For me the obvious case is to play Deslauriers on Friday versus the Wild. Minnesota has owned Roloson and the Oilers the past two years, so give the kid a shot against them and also then he is sitting out to long.
And lastly, JF Jacques is skating pain-free and will be assigned to Springfield around Feb. 5. That way he would be eligible to play in eight games on the 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th. After he is recalled, the Oilers will have to make a decision on him, since he will either have to clear waivers or stay with the Oilers.
One Samwise short of a Fellowship indeed.

I wish I could say this game is going to have consequences, but I fear the only thing well get out of it is a mentally shattered back-up goalie who the coach will have no confidence in for the rest of the year.
January 27 2009, 10:18PM
i just have to say...the Oilers are not going to sell all their seasons tickets next year unless they win a few playoff series. i went to the Chicago game and came home and decided I would rather watch LOST than watch the Oilers, it is more entertaining and the chicks are hotter. I have had seasons tickets in the past but doubt i will in the next few years. the mgmt group that put together this sad sack team that is so unprofessional as to not show up twice in two months at home to the poor sorry ass fans who pay their pathetic uneducated ass salaries. i could name every first round draft pick this team has, tell you the lineup of the Springfield Falcons, and spout out to you how Alex Plante and Jeff Petry are doing this year. But right now I could really care less about the Oilers. They are not worth my emotional energy and I am not giving them any of my money. I stayed home tonight, checked the score a couple of times and watched last week's season premiere of LOST. It was time much better spent than going to that pathetic game and I bet there are a few thousand people who went there that wished they had stayed home and watched TV too. If I were Katz and Laforge I would be real worried about selling out that building next year because if people like me would rather watch tv than watch the Oilers they are in real trouble...
January 27 2009, 10:26PM
It's OK Esa. They have a waiting list in the thousands for season's tickets. I seriously don't think Katz and Laforge are too worried right now about much more than how much they'll have to shell out for RX2 and the color of the new seats.
It's sport. Ya win some and ya lose some. This one sucked but I bet Friday's game will be pretty good.

Most coaches, after a lopsided loss, get all pissy and whiny and storm out of the room after about six seconds (ie Jabba Hitchcock after the loss to the Oil). At least MacT manned up and acted half-assed professional about the whole situation.
Thank Christ the Minny game is PPV so I don't accidentally tune in whilst surfing to find American Idol.
@ esa tikkanen:
then people like you can stay home, and people like me will gladly take your seats...such fair weather fans, oh and don't forget to call the talk shows and say that MacT should be fired.
To Jonathon Willis,
This is my public apology for ragging you about your "statistical hate" of Staios as I believe I called it. Umm yeah he was pretty awful tonight, brutal giveaways, looked 3 steps behind everyone else. Yikes.
@ Jack Bauer:
Yeah they should probably try to pickup a veteran goalie (about 30 years old) that has proven he can win games for an inconsistant hockey club.
I hear Pittsburgh has a guy like that???
January 27 2009, 10:46PM
fairweather fan? i had season tickets in 1993 and 1994 when they were selling players for cash and lost 15 games in a row at the end of the season. i supported this team with my money when most people would not , when they were broke and when they depended on heart and effort because they could not afford the talent. at the time i was frustrated because they had no money so could not compete, and i cheered for them as the underdog that had no chance but it would be nice to cheer for some miracle. at this point they have tons of money and are barely a playoff team, and have their two worst home losses in their history only two months apart and they have a payroll as high as Detroit, Boston, and 30% higher than the team that just beat them 10-2! i liked the doug weight, todd marchant, mike grier team better. underdogs that fought like hell. these pansies have the fight of a 2 year old girl. oh and those thousands on the waiting list? we will see how many are left after this season, and with $40 oil all those welders and electricians that were making 150k will be making 50 k, and the high school dropouts that were framing houses for 60k will be making 20k and won't be able to afford oilers games when watching tv will offer so much better value... oh and by the way, tambo, you traded the wrong goalie..
I guess the mighty Oil decided the fans deserved a righteous sack beating. In your face fans!
im still on the waiting list! did anyone else notice that looser sitting behind the buffalo penalty box? wearing a flames jersey to an oilers vs. sabres game? what kind of idiot does that? one more thing that proves calgarians and flames fans are retarded!
January 27 2009, 11:08PM
Brutal!! Pansies is right! This team overloaded with em
January 27 2009, 11:13PM
@ esa tikkanen: couldn't agree with you more. with the salary this team has had for the last three years, they sure have had a pretty pathetic team. If they want this to be a skilled puck possesion team, maybe they should try to get more than just 1 truly skilled forward. Decent job with the Defence But terrible with the forwards. Or is it just that they don't know how to development offensive talant. TAMBO!!!! STEP UP AND DO YOUR JOB PLEASE! If you don't Katz will.
I wanna know how you loose 10-2 and there are no scraps? We have Stortini, Strudwick, and most of all the captain, Moreau and not one of them through a punch. When it got to be 4-1 someone should have tried to get something going! I feel bad for people who went to the game and the only entertainment they got was chanting for the visiting team to break into double digits.
This Reddox thing has to stop there should be talent or grit being brought up from the minors not useless pluggers. Brule, Schremp, O'Marra, or maybe Potulyny who is heating the AHL up right now.
Time for the oil to call up the sens and swap some useless talent for some useless talent. Spezza isnt playing well but neither are the oil apart from a few D-men and 2 forwards.
January 27 2009, 11:52PM
That Garon trade looks good now? Ah? Oh I forgot, we don't blame the golies when the whall team stinks. If it wasn't for Hemsky they would have lost last 3 games and not one. But should we blame the team for beeing what it is? No. It's the management that build that team. It is KEVIN LOWE who did it and can't fix it. From time to time he spreads the roomor that he is trying to land a big name player but it is all a jock. You don't think its him spreding roomors? How would anybody know if he called about Vinny or not if he would not tell that to a reporter? McT has to go but he will not untill K. Lowe is gone.

10-2 isn't one bad game, it's refusing to sit up in bed to scratch your bed sores after a week of laying on your ass.
You would think after their min-roll before the break that players would be motivated to try and keep it going, but for the most part this team looked like they would rather be on the golf course. They're in luck though, play like that a few more times and they can tee off in April.
Not too surprised JDD got lit up though, no support in front of him and he's been sitting on his ass for two months thanks to our awesome "player management".
And why is Staios allowed to play? A pylon would have done a better job tonight. Surely there's a promising young guy or two who could use some NHL time to develop?
Two monumental asskickings in little over a month(let alone a season, learn your lesson the first time) is just unacceptable for a non-expansion team.
If players don't want to show up there are quite a few boys in Springfield who would love their spots(whether or not they're ready is another question, but you'd have to think they couldn't put in less effort)
January 28 2009, 01:07AM
here is what i sent to the oilers, i encourage all of you to voice your concerns to the team:
To whom it may concern,
I thought about starting this email by saying I have been a life long fan of the Oilers, but I cannot say it to be true anymore. Over the last several years I have witnessed some very sad moments in Oilers history and the game tonight has pushed me over the edge: I can no longer call myself a fan of the team. How could I possibly? To say I am a fan of this team would be a discredit to my character because of what the Oilers have come to represent. What this team has come to mean to me can be summed up with one word, nepotism.
It has been said for quite some time, whether it started with the EIG or Sather leaving I am not sure, that the Oilers have been guilty of nepotism. To better explain this concept, nepotism as I understand it, is a system of bureaucratic management which rewards familiarity rather than merit. That is to say, it does not matter whether one is actually qualified for a position, but rather if that person knows the right people. I am not here to say that this practice does not have some value, as it certainly is helpful to work with people you know and trust but it should be noted that familiarity is meaningless if the people you work with are incompetent, lazy or simply don't care.
As I see it there are several key problems with nepotism as it relates specifically to the Oilers (the order does not indicate the severity as each issue is equally important):
Number One: It is difficult to know how sincere the people you surround yourself with are. Are they yes men or are they offering qualified, constructive criticism when needed?
Number Two: It is possible that unneeded positions may exist simply to employ a friend or an unqualified individual may be employed in a position beyond his experience or mental ability (possibly at the expense of one more qualified).
Number Three: It is difficult to be businesslike (that is to say, offer criticism or fire someone when needed) if you work amongst friends. I would ask you to imagine how hard it might be to fire someone that you have been friends with for decades, but I suspect whoever is reading this is well aware of the seemingly insurmountable difficulty of this task.
Number Four: Due to the inability to let blood (fire or restructure) in a nepotistic system it is likely that some may become irresponsible in their given position. That is to say, there is a fundamental breakdown of what binds an effective corporation or institution; meaningful reciprocity has ceased to exist. If it is impossible to be fired, then you can basically do whatever the hell you want, regardless of the consequences for peers or the firm.
A secondary problem which has, in many ways, helped produce the current nepotism that embodies the Oilers is that of a strong-fan base. What's that you say? How can a strong fan base be a bad thing for a sports team!? I'll tell you how - It means that people will show up, buy your gear and cheer for the team, regardless of what happens. This means that if the team does not succeed, the stands will still be full, the concession and beer stands will still be lined up, the jerseys and ball-caps will still sell. This has created a safety net for the team, the only possible reason they might have for succeeding (as personal pride apparently does not matter) is the prospect of playoff revenue. I don't know if it is one or two million per game or if that figure is way off but each home game must be a massive boon to the team. In summation; there is little meaningful fiscal consequence (beyond lost playoff revenue) if this team fails.
I would now like to present some anecdotal evidence to support my theory regarding this team:
One of the only things that has stopped people from attending a game recently (a very big game indeed) was the trading of Ryan Smyth. A move I believe still haunts this team as the exact type of forward lacking from the lines is that which Ryan typified; a hard-nosed, grinding, versatile, power forward. Furthermore, the team subsequently lose twenty games in a row and the coaching staff was not fired... and then wins the last game of the year to put the organization out of contention for the top draft pick!
The team can suffer the two worst losses in team history inside of two months and the coaching staff will not be fired. It is public knowledge MacTavish is guaranteed a job until seasons end.
The team hires several former players to positions that may not be best for the organization; I cite MacTavish to coach; Lowe to GM and then Senior Executive; Buchberger to coach of the AHL team and then assistant with the big club; Simpson to assistant coach. The talent passed over in favor of these cronies is impossible to quantify.
I would go on to cite the numerous errors made with the roster in the last decade, but that is not the purpose of this email....
In closing: I hope that the declining economic status of the province will have an adverse effect on the attendance for the Oilers as I believe the only possible thing that might motivate the organization to change is money. When people realize that their time and dollars are better spent elsewhere, the waiting list for tickets will shrink, as will the number of people in the stands. I had hoped that Mr. Katz would be a little more dramatic in his management approach, but sadly it remains the status-quo. Were this a 'real' business and if losses actually equated to dollars I doubt Mr. Katz would be so accepting of the current management team, but given the complete lack of urgency displayed I doubt we will see any changes soon.
At this point in the email, I thought I would threaten that I will not watch a single game, at home or in person, or buy a single piece of merchandise until the entire management team has been fired, the coaching staff has been fired and at least 2/3rds of the team turned over; sadly the threat is empty, as there are hundreds, if not thousands, of idiots waiting to take my place in the beer line or at the scalpers.
I would hope that some sort of non-automated response will be returned to me, but I will not expect it given how this organization operates. I challenge you to surprise me.

Visit : Park/Garden
Park of Laeken
© WBT - Global View - Simon Schmitt
- Address:
Avenue du Parc Royal
Avenue Jules Van Praet
1020 Brussels (BRUXELLES)
- MAPS: Google Maps
This public park situated in the North of Brussels dates back to the 19th century, and on one side boasts the magnificent view of the city, and on the other side an impressive view of the Royal Palace of Laeken.
The monument of the dynasty has, like a headland, pride of place in the heart of a sober and bare landscape. Take care, appearances are often misleading : this monument in a flamboyant Gothic style, erected in memory of Léopold I, is not the only interesting thing of the 26 hectares of park between the avenues of Parc-Royal and Jules-Van-Praet.
To crown your visit, the garden of the Chinese Pavilion and the Japanese Tower, the Royal Estate, the park of Osseghem and the domain of Stuyvenberg open their doors to you. And a few minutes away is the Heysel plateau with entertainment from Bruparck, Mini Europe, Océade, the Atomium and the Planetarium. Fun for all ages!

Chapter 8
Amos prophesies the downfall of Israel—There will be a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.

Active sandals
"These appear to be very well made and look like they will hold up under heavy use by my son (8), at least until he grows out of them. He is happy with the style, and I was glad to see the bottom will be good for running, more like a sneaker bottom than a sandal. My only complaint is that the back is not adjustible (only the straps over the top of the foot adjust). Similar-style sandals he has had in the past have been adjustible in the back, and it helps improve the fit."

Anyway I actually like the fact that the perfume guy is down, he is kind of annoying. The only thing that I didn't like is that we still don't who or what Wendy is but I guess thats probably something that will be reveal in another arc since she has a connection to dragons.
p.s. People keep saying that Natsu beating Gerard seem more and more impossible but the reason he beat him was because of the etherion(strongest magic) and not his own power in other words he was way stronger in that arc than now.

They honor three men who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
For Eddie Myers' family, the past eight years still feel as fresh as yesterday.
"You don't actually ever get over it," said Thomas Dick, stepfather to Myers. "There will still be days when we sit on the couch and ball for no reason"
In 2005, Specialist Eddie Myers was killed during the war in Iraq.
As part of the 3rd Infantry Division, he was traveling to pick up new vehicles when the vehicle he was riding turret struck an IED.
Myers was the only one killed in the explosion.
Before that, he served a previous deployment with the 82nd Airborne Division.
He was one of the first to enter Iraq when the war started in 2003.
"The only time I got worried was when I heard on the radio that two people from the 82nd had been killed," said Charlotte Dick, Myers' mother.
Myers came home after that first deployment.
He was only home for a short period for being deployed one more time out to Iraq
"I actually saw the notification officers drive by and I thought they were the people that knock on the door to preach to you," said Charlotte. "And they kept knocking. I could see them in the window of the door and I thought they were police officers. Then I noticed it was military uniforms and I thought Eddie had come back to surprise me again."
It was not until the soldiers asked for her name that she realized what had happened.
During his deployments, it was something Myers' family never worried about too much.
For them, deployments was just a way of life in the family with a rich military history.
"My dad was in Vietnam so to me it was a normal thing," said Charlotte. "Dad came home fine so I didn't worry."
It was Charlotte's father that helped inspire Myers' to follow in his foot steps.
From the age of five, Myers knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life.
"Eddie always wanted to follow in Grandpa's footsteps," said Charlotte, remembering the times her eldest son would sit on her father's lap. "And Eddie would sit there starry-eyed and listen."
It is that starry-eyed boy who continues to inspire his community.
Myers' family continues to remain active in organization like the VFW, the Patriot Guard, and American Gold Star Mothers.
For them, it was a way of healing.
"It's therapeutic," said Charlotte. "You get a hole in your life and you need to fill it with something. I seemed to have latched onto every organization I can find."
In those organizations she is helping others going through the same tragedies.
For them, it is a tribute to the man who paid the ultimate sacrifice to serve his country.

Dirk Smillie, Subscriber
It is midafternoon at Slingshot Labs in Santa Monica. Suddenly Christopher Case, an Emmy-nominated comedy writer, jumps to his feet after looking over six pages from Daily Fill, a new celebrity gossip site, displayed on a conference room wall. "Yes!" he shouts, pumping a fist in the air. "One piece of editorial, 15 ads!" he jokes.
Slingshot's Daily Fill, which went live in November, is off to a running start, attracting a number of Web-trolling celebrity watchers and the advertisers that love them. So far AT&T, TurboTax,
Slingshot came to life shortly after News Corp., which also owns the Wall Street Journal and Fox News Channel, gobbled up MySpace for $580 million in 2005. Soon after, DeWolfe watched the successful launches of Photobucket and Slide, Web sites where users can post their own photos and videos. "Jeez, we could have done that," he recalls thinking at the time. In 2007 DeWolfe drew up a business plan, urging Murdoch and News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin to cough up $15 million to fund Slingshot. He promised it would watch Web trends and fledgling businesses and crank out new concepts quickly. "This is a small bet with a potentially big payoff," says Slingshot Co-President Josh Berman.
Berman runs the place with Colin Digiaro–both were top dogs at MySpace before DeWolfe tapped them to head Slingshot. The MySpace founder insisted Slingshot live apart from News Corp.'s offices. "Radical innovation is not going to happen in a large corporate environment," he says.
There's nothing terribly radical happening just yet. Their first offerings are new twists on existing concepts. The Daily Fill, which cost an estimated $400,000 to build, takes after
In April Slingshot will roll out a dating site for budget-conscious singletons who are more likely to meet for coffee at Dunkin' Donuts than a cocktail at the Four Seasons. It will be a free site that uses algorithms to build profiles based on users' preexisting Web-crawling information. "It takes someone four hours to fill out the questionnaire for Eharmony," says Berman. "We can understand more about people just by looking at their social graphs and activity feeds."
Slingshot hopes to best Evite, the event planning and invitation site, with Social Plan. It will allow subscribers to track what friends are doing online and at real-world events through short updates. If a user goes to a Sheryl Crow concert, for instance, his or her friends can know about it. Another Slingshot project is Linfo. Digiaro terms it a social media version of Yelp, the online city guide that offers reviews of small businesses. This one will let folks post real-time blasts about restaurants, shops and other businesses they love or hate.
Says Berman: "If we had been around when YouTube launched, we would have dropped everything, built a competing business–and beat them."

Cute shoe, runs small!
"I purchased these shoes for my daughter in a size 3. We measured her feet using the printable sizing tool, and sized up a little to give her some wiggle room. I loved these shoes out of the box - they are really cute. Unfortunately, they were really tight on her foot! I held them up to a different pair of her shoes in a size 2, and they are exactly the same length. I'm going to be exchanging these shoes for a full size up."
