Electric Scissor Lifts are ideal when ample working space and lifting capacity is needed and maneuverability is essential. Designed so you have fewer scheduled services, a quieter work area, less dependency on hydraulic oils and zero emissions. These Electric Scissor Lifts will enhance your prodcutivity with less recharge and more uptime.
available platform heights
Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts work well in tight spaces. This makes them perfect for lifting personnel or materials straight up in the air. The 4 wheel drive and foam filled tires make these machines ideal for indoor or outdoor use. These are "Duel Fuel" units, running on either gasoline or natural gas (LPG).
available platform heights
Scissor lifts are primarily chosen by their height limits. There's little point in renting a 20 foot lift when your workers need to repair windows that are 32 feet above the ground. Don't forget that it's unsafe to operate this kind of equipment fully extended on uneven ground or in areas with high winds, so rent a model with a higher reach in these kinds of conditions. This allows the operator to keep the lift below its limit to increase stability and prevent tipping by lowering the centering of gravity.
Scissor lifts are used across all construction and manufacturing industries because of the sheer versatility of a straight vertical rise. Heavy duty lifts allow the employees to bring along large loads of materials, like pallets of shingles and vapor barrier while working on a roof. Other common use cases include:

Sept. 27, 1937- March 9, 2011
PAHRUMP, NEV.-Joyce, wonderful wife and mother, 73, lost her valiant battle with cancer on March 9, 2011, Ash Wednesday, with her family at her side. She was born in Wyoming, to Stella and James Smith. She was raised in Carbon County by her mother and step-father, Ernest O'Green.
After graduation, Joyce moved to San Diego, Calif., for two years where she worked for Douglas Aircraft. She then returned to Carbon County, where she married John Georgedes and had two daughters, Kimberly and Stephne.
She was appointed District Court Clerk and held that position for a number of years. She later divorced. She moved to Provo, Utah, where she went to work for the Utah State Department of Rehabilitation and later for Adult Probation and Parole. She married Paul Webb and they had one daughter, Monica. While working two jobs, Joyce completed her BA degree and graduated from BYU in 1976. She later went to work for the Department of Social Services in Salt Lake City as a Quality Control Specialist.
At this time, she became very active in the Utah Public Employees Association, and ultimately served as President. She retired from the State after 30 years of service. While living in Salt Lake, she met and married Gordy Call. They have been together for 21 years. After retirement, they relocated to Pahrump, Nev.
Mom was an accomplished seamstress, passionate quilter and avid antique collector. She was also a first-rate golfer and could out-golf many men. She loved to dance, play Bingo, and going to yard sales. She always put others first. She was a fiercely loyal American who worked tirelessly for the Democratic Party, both locally and nationally. She was dearly loved and will be terribly missed.
Joyce is survived by her husband, her daughters, her grandchildren, Jennifer (husband Wes), Jacy and Truman, her great-grandchildren, Dahlen and Ryker, and her three sisters and nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, and three brothers.
Memorial service, Friday, March 18, 2011, 1 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 East Main, Price, Utah. Interment Mt. View Cemetery, Helper, Utah. Friends are welcome to share memories of Joyce online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

A lightweight shoe suitable for racing and training, the adidas adizero adios 2 has a great responsive feel in the forefoot that pushes you forward.
adidas' adios has a pedigree of fast performances. Haile Gebrselassie donned the original adios during his world record marathon performance in 2008, and in 2011, Patrick Makau improved upon the marathon world best in the current version of the shoe. The adios 2 was also worn by both champions of the 2011 Boston Marathon, Geoffery Mutai and Caroline Kilel. Needless to say, we were very excited to give the adios 2 a try, and though we weren't breaking any world records, we were pleased with what the shoe had to offer.
The fit of the adios 2 is snug, however it was not overly tight or constrictive as we've seen in other racing shoes. Some testers did find the heel cup to be slightly generous, noticing a minimal amount of heel movement. The thicker overlays provide a secure feeling of attachment to the shoe, though they do constrict a wider or higher volume foot. It should be noted that the inside of the upper is rough with exposed stitching – socks are a must when running in the adios 2.
Though this shoe was undoubtedly built for racing, we found that it offered enough cushioning to serve as a lightweight trainer. The midsole provides protection to accommodate a forefoot or heel strike, both resulting in a smooth transition off the toes.
The adios 2 is among the stiffest shoes we've tested, with little forefoot flexibility. That said, we were amazed by the responsiveness of the shoe, credited to the three plastic strips that run through the forefoot in the midsole, acting as springs that snap the shoe back into shape. This system causes the shoe to propel forward with every step, and combined with the high traction outsole and sticky rubber at the toes, this shoe loves to go fast.
Though this is a go-fast racer, there's enough shoe for it to be used for training as well.
For a shoe with a 9mm drop, the adios definitely feels flatter. I felt the shoe putting me on my toes and propelling me forward during toe off.
The heel on this shoe was just a bit more roomy than I would've liked. Lacing the shoe up through the rearmost eyelets did help alleviate this feeling though.

Glasgow moved top of the RaboDirect PRO12 standings on Friday thanks to a 29-13 victory over Cardiff Blues at Scotstoun Stadium.
Glasgow moved top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table thanks to an impressive 29-13 home win over Cardiff Blues.
The home side began brightly and struck first as Peter Horne stepped inside a defender and had the pace to cross the whitewash after quarter of an hour but they weren't ahead for long as Josh Navidi forced his way over to level the scores ten minutes later.
And two penalties from 19-year-old fly-half to just one from his opposite number Duncan Weir gave the visitors a 13-10 lead at the break.
The match exploded into action midway through the second-half though as the Warriors came up with three tries in the space of just eight minutes to take the game away from the visitors and secure the bonus point.
Fijian scrum-half Niko Matawalu was the catalyst and he got the ball rolling with a great individual try, regathering his own long kick before touching the ball down.
After a period of concerted pressure on the opposition line, Weir then spotted a gap and crossed for the third try and Matawalu fittingly rounded things off with a typically smart effort with quarter of an hour remaining.
Cardiff Blues failed to register a single point in an extremely disappointing second-half for them but Glasgow were worthy winners and march to the summit of the RaboDirect PRO12 after a seventh consecutive victory.
The scorers:
For Glasgow:
Tries: Horne, Matawalu 2, Weir
Con: Weir 3
Pen: Weir
For Cardiff Blues:
Try: Navidi
Con: Patchell
Pen: Patchell 2
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Byron McGuigan, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Jon Welsh, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Gordon Reid.
Replacements: 16 Fraser Brown, 17 Ofa Fainga'anuku, 18 Moray Low, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 James Eddie, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Scott Wight, 23 Graeme Morrison.

A Fairer Deal for Visual Artists and the Crafts Sector
Launch - Wednesday 8 August 2001
James O. Fairfax Theatre
National Gallery of Australia
9.00am - 5.00pm
The Visual Arts Industry Guidelines Research Project is funded by the Australian Research Council, the Australia Council and industry partners
Professor Terry Smith, Director Power Institute, University of Sydney
Ms Tamara Winikoff, Executive Director, National Association for the Visual Arts
Associate Professor Ron Callus, Director, Australian Centre for Industrial Relations Research and Training, University of Sydney
Professor David Throsby, School of Economics, Macquarie University
Mr Tony Bond, General Manager Curatorial Services, Chief Curator of Western Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales
Mr Shane Simpson, Principal, Simpsons Solicitors
Starving in the garret is no longer the model for the 21st century visual or craft artist - two new codes to be launched in Canberra should ensure a much better deal for the sector.
The Code of Practice for the Australian Visual Arts and Craft Sector and Valuing Art, Respecting Culture: Protocols for Working with the Australian Indigenous Visual Arts and Craft Sector will be launched during a day-long forum at the National Gallery of Australia.
Artists Mandy Martin and Mike Parr, gallery owner Gene Sherman and ethicist Simon Longstaff will speak about the need for the Code, which covers such issues as contracts with gallery owners, timely payment, honouring copyright and moral rights of artists.
The day will feature a presentation of new protocols for working with the Australian Indigenous Visual Arts and Craft Sector, called Valuing Art, Respecting Culture, by author Doreen Mellor and legal contributor Terri Janke.
Despite the international success of Indigenous visual arts and craft, serious malpractices have occurred through copyright breaches, appropriation and unfair trading practices. Valuing Art, Respecting Culture addresses these issues constructively.
Executive Director of the National Association for the Visual Arts, Tamara Winikoff, said:
'For too long there has been no benchmark to guide the relationship between artists and those they deal with professionally. Often this causes heartache and misunderstanding.
In dealings with Indigenous artists and communities, the new guidelines on appropriate cultural protocols will greatly improve understanding on both sides.
The visual arts is a major industry, and its practitioners are often small businesses, with all the responsibilities that involves. It is more than time that things were sorted out.
All the sector is asking for is a fair deal, and these two Codes, which we anticipate will be endorsed by practitioners, governments and all the peak arts bodies, will go a long way to achieving this.'
The day will end with a panel discussion at Parliament House, chaired by Michael Cathcart of ABC Radio National, where Arts Minister Peter McGauran and Shadow Arts Minister Bob McMullan, Senator Aden Ridgeway and Senator Bob Brown will respond to the Code and other issues on policy in the visual arts raised during the day.
Admission to this final session is free and registration for the daytime forum is not a prerequisite.
Registration for the day: $55/$33 (incl. GST). Concession rate applies to NAVA and CAM members, artists and all concession card holders.

Alas, the Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol in the Philippines are not a Willy Wonka paradise. The name comes from the brown color of the hills during the winter months.

Local lore has it that the mounds were formed from the tears of a giant who fell in love with a local girl.
The Bolivian Salt Flats are said to have been created about 30,000 years ago when Lago Minchin dried up, leaving the salt behind. A thin layer of water spread over the flats during the rainy season to create the illusion of a never-ending mirror.
Many tour operators will take you right out onto the flats, where the salt is still being harvested.

There are almost 40,000 hexagonal ballast columns at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland that were formed 60 million years ago by magma that spewed and cooled along the coast.
Some of the columns reach almost 40 feet high, while others are short enough to walk across.
As the name suggests, Spain's Rio Tinto runs blood red.
The color of the Rio Tinto comes from a combination of rare bacteria, a low oxygen count, and pollution from mining for gold, silver, and copper.

The blue hue at the face of the glacier comes from oxygen trapped inside the ice.
Sand that swirls through the 54,000-square-mile Simpson Desert in central Australia is blood red.
The color comes from iron oxide in the sand, with shades ranging from light pink to deep red.

Cash donations and food, especially proteins, are sorely needed at Valley food banks as they struggle with a severe shortage of supplies and unchecked increase in demand.
Normally, the banks' stock of food decreases in summer and early fall, but that decrease has been exacerbated by Congress' postponement of a vote on the Farm Bill and a recent peanut-butter recall, which forced food banks to discard that crucial source of protein.
"It goes back to the summer," said Jerry Brown, spokesman for St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance. "Our warehouse was 28 to 30 percent behind on donations this year. ... But we're still distributing as many as 1,000 emergency food boxes a day out of warehouse. That's 30,000 boxes a month."
The peanut-butter recall -- issued last month after the bacterium salmonella was found in samples from the Sunland factory in New Mexico -- deprived St. Mary's of a main source of protein in its emergency food boxes.
"You don't have to refrigerate it, and there's a large amount of protein in a small jar," Brown said.
The food bank pulled 12,000 cases of peanut butter off the shelves and from all already-packed emergency food boxes. To make up for that loss, workers filled boxes with non-perishable food that was already in short supply, such as tuna, soup and canned fruits and vegetables.
"We were down about 50 percent in the warehouse this last week, compared to this time last year," Brown said.
St. Mary's is asking for donations of canned food, including beans, tuna, Manwich products, Spam, potatoes, fruits and vegetables.
In the meantime, it is also cutting back.
In the past, St. Mary's would put at least six cans in a food box, and that would provide a three- to four-day supply of food for a family of four. "Now, instead of six or seven cans, we're seeing about half that in the boxes," Brown said. That food is being replaced with cereal.
"Canned food is such a valuable thing because some people don't have stoves to heat food or refrigerators to cool things," he said. "Non-perishables make up the backbone of our emergency food boxes."
The Salvation Army last week turned away people seeking food at its Family Services Center at 241 E. Sixth St. in Mesa. A sign on the door said the site was out of food, but it reopened Monday as a result of a food drive sponsored by Channel 12 and Fry's food stores.
The site now has enough food to last a week, the army's Lt. Christopher Ratliff said.
In Mesa, the Salvation Army serves 300 to 400 families a week, according to Maj. Candi Frizzell.
Brown said Valley residents have been generous in their donations. A donation of $1 will buy seven meals because St. Mary's gets price breaks for buying in bulk.
He's not sure why donations are down this year. It could be donor fatigue or improving economic numbers that mislead people into thinking the need for food is not as great, he said.
Also, some previous donors are now recipients of food boxes. "We do know there are donors out there who used to give us food and money, and they're coming to the food bank to use our services," Brown said.
Besides donations from individuals, St. Mary's gets food from government programs and from 300 grocery stores in the Valley.
On Tuesday at St. Mary's, 3131 W. Thomas Road in Phoenix, people began lining up an hour before it opened.
Second in line was 63-year-old Barbara Nelero, who was nibbling on a 50-cent bag of Santa Fe trail mix she bought at Walmart that she called her breakfast.
Nelero, who worked as a nursing aide in a prison infirmary, said she stretches the food to make do. "You've got to cook a lot of beans," she said, adding that although her doctor tells her to eat more chicken, tuna and turkey, the food boxes don't contain much protein.
The boxes sometimes contain chicken or eggs, but most of the time, they have evaporated or dried milk, juice, bread, elbow macaroni and a can of stew or chicken.
"I go hungry," she said, because she buys food for her four Chihuahuas. "They're the apple of my eye, those four little dogs. I buy them the cheapest dog food so they don't go hungry. ... Sometimes I'm hungry."
Picking up food Monday at the Salvation Army's Family Services Center in Mesa was James Morris, 58, who arrived on his bicycle. He is disabled with glaucoma and a degenerative bone disease.
"I came last month; they gave me a package of slices of summer sausage and a package of hamburger meat," he said.
Also waiting was Karen Parker, 70, who spends winters in Mesa and summers in Wisconsin, where she retired from a cheese-processing factory.
She receives $729 a month in Social Security, and her rent in Mesa is $427. Parker, who is taking medicine for leukemia, augments the Salvation Army food with groceries from the 99-cent store.
Her safety net is her daughter, who moved to Mesa four years ago. "I'd never go hungry, because of my daughter," she said. "A couple of weeks ago, there was a little note on my car windshield. It was a $50 food card from her."
United Food Bank in Mesa is a distribution warehouse for 250 agencies in a five-county region, including eastern Maricopa County. It supplies emergency food pantries, meal sites, residential shelters, children's after-school programs and a backpack program.
The peanut-butter recall hurt, but what has severely hurt United Food Bank is Congress' postponing a vote on the Farm Bill, which includes food-stamp and commodities programs.
"We have seen our USDA commodities reduced in 2011 and 2012 by 1.5 million pounds," said Rayna Palmer, chief operations officer. "That's a huge amount of food that has been pulled off our shelves. We have to make that up locally."
Brian Simpson, spokesman for the Association of Arizona Food Banks, said the current shortage is a gap that food banks see every year at this time, but this year is more severe.
"Demand has remained very, very high," he said.
The delay in the Farm Bill vote makes it difficult for food banks to budget because they don't know the amount of commodities they will get.
"In any given month for well over a year, Arizona has had a little more than 1.1 million individuals receiving food-stamp benefits. Almost half of those are children under age 18 or seniors," he said.
Cuts in the farm program will increase the demand on food banks, Simpson predicted. "If people see their options reduced or eliminated, it's natural they're going to look to food banks," he said. "Food banks will expect to see more people at their doorsteps."
The boxes at food banks typically are enough food for three to five days.
"It's not designed to be a semipermanent, longer-term solution that's going help lift your household out of food insecurity," Simpson said.
He echoed the plea for donations.
"If people have the ability to donate peanut butter or other protein-rich foods, we'd be happy to hear from you," he said, adding that food banks also need cash and volunteers. help.
A third of the usual amount of food is missing from the bags that volunteers Gloria Lucio and Angel Leyvas prepare at St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance in Phoenix.

Love snake!
"I bought these in my usual 7.5 but had to return them for an 8 - I don't like my toes hanging over the edge!! They are a really nice wedge and the faux snake looks good. Plus I got really good price! I'm happy with the purchase."

Complete unrelated to the actual Elder Scrolls Online game, I have been considering GameInformer's exclusivity for this reveal. Obviously, all opinions aside, we can agree that this is a big deal announcement. How did GI get such exclusivity?
I've been wondering, what could GI promise to gain such a huge article? But then, I went to http://elderscrollsonline.com/, which I think is the official website for the pending MMO? If you visit it, at the very bottom is a link to 'The GameInformer Hub'. Really?! Plenty of other sites have articles on this new, PC gamer, mmorpg. Com, etc....but they aren't linked on the official website like GI?
My predictin for the GI article, when it releases, if will glowing with positivity and excitement. No honest reservations regarding the deviation from the type of gameplay that is the hallmark of the single-player games. Completely devoid of honest journalistic objectivity.
Taken with the fact that anyone who signs up for a GameStop club card gets a free subscription to GI mag, it really got me wondering about the true nature of this magazine. So, I will just ask you guys the obvious question:
Is GameInformer anything more than an advertising platform for GameDevelopers? Can you really look to this magazine for an objective look at future titles? Is it a conflict of interest for a magazine that write game reviews to have this degree of integration on the official website of a game who's developers also advertise within their Rag?
Ok, no tin-foil hats lol I mean, this is not national security here, but it really does seem to cast GI in a compromised light. Do they write fluff articles when granted exclusivity?

Do you really think you can trust any magazine to give you a true review? I can't remember the last time I saw a game review that was actually bad. I guess I don't really get magazines that often, so I might be wrong...
IMHO to be a journalist, at least a good one, you have to be able to remove all personal bias and just report the facts.
Then again, I see all journalism these days as simply another way to make money and think that a reporter with integrity and an unbiased opinion is a thing of a past.
And the really sad thing.....the world is full of stupid people who lap it up and think the things these guys write about means something....
Scans of the article has already been leaked online. There's no personal prefence in them (positive or negative) from what I read.

Someone else had mentioned that, but when I visited the website in question, they had already pulled them for copyright infringement. Frankly I am amazed they posted them at all.

I can't remember the last time I read a truly critical review of a major title release.
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
I cancelled subscriptions to any game magazines I had years ago. They lost all objectivity when major companies like Sony and EA would threaten to take their business elsewhere if the reviews dropped below a certain number.
Think about your comment: If GameStop is offering you a subscription to Game Informer with a sign-up for their card, isn't that pretty much an indicator that you're going to be getting a product catalog disguised as a "review" magazine?

Only reviews I read now with any hopes of getting real information is from players not accosiatied with any website/magazine or anywhere else that might get some sort of revenue from game companies. So basically beta testers and other players like you and me, are the only people I listen too now.
The reveiws for SWTOR on this site was absolutly sickning, I am not even sure the authors wrote the articles. Hell it seemed like they came straight out of EA's PR dpt. I couldnt even believe what I was reading half the time. I still love the one "Innovations in SWTOR" then in the article each paragragh started out by stating "this isnt really innovative" or something of the sort, then went on to write a paragragh or two of utter BS. That was thetime I gave up all hope of MMORPG.com ever writting articles for mmo gammers. I realized they are in it for the cash and is just another advertising outlet for companies, that became more obvious once I saw EA single player RPG's plastered all over the site.
Waiting for:EQ-Next, ArcheAge (not so much anymore)
Now Playing: N/A
Worst MMO: FFXIV
Favorite MMO: FFXI
I don't know if you remember...
... the original Xbox promotional videos with the fully rendered butterflies, or the high-resolution video of the girl dancing in front of a robot that would mimic her every move, but I remember when GameStop had no problem showcasing the original promo video to sell Xbox units. Practically every image disappeared the moment they announced the Xbox title called "Malice" that was voiced over by Gwen Stefani.
The early promo videos were supposed to be "actual game footage", but whatever game that was supposed to be somehow got supplanted by the trash-heap that was "Malice".
What You Were Supposed To Get:
What You Really Got:
I happen to like the Game Informer website, its my second home for gaming next to this website as of late I've been spending more time over there actually talking about games and watching live streams of the GI staff playing upcoming games or Replays of classic and old school games PC and Console actually feel like a gamer again without the armchair economists and investors droning on about their claims about sub numbers= a good game.
But being back on topic I like to share the news articles from GI with this community give them something new to read or pique someones interest in a new game or new MMO or the Kickstarter Projects, its better than reading yet another GW2 is the messiah threads over and over again.
Ok, in complete fairness i have now read the Leaked GI article. Special thanks to the individual in question who pointed me in the right direction.
Now, I have to say that there was more objectivity in the article than I came to expect! There were a few parts that seemed to get a little yellow brick road in regards to features that are either too different from the single-player paradigm of TES games or not completely fleshed out yet. But really, this was not overly done and they were mostly stating the various aspects of the game as facts, without any fluff one way or the other.
I hate to say it, but I think a lot of the stuff I have read on this website (mmorpg.com) recently has made me a little jaded. A few here have already commented on SWTOR article that read more like a rejected blurb for the game box back panel. I would say to the writers and editors here at mmorpg, check out this article. This is how a journalist should write an article about a pending game.
Do not make it exciting, leave your adverbs a home. Be objective and factual, if you wanna spew opinion, write an editorial.
In so far as the topic on hand, must say that GI proved me wrong in this case. But given their continued integration with TESO website, you should always read anything they write about this game with the proper amount of skepticism. If nothing else, they have already proved to me to be more capable to keeping it real than anything I've read on here in a while!

I dislike Game Informer as a whole but they didn't write anything outlandish or that would make me think something was going on.

Acid reflux is actually what happens when stomach acid flows back (or refluxes) into your esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach). When this happens again and again along with symptoms like heartburn—occurring 2 or more times a week—you may have acid reflux disease. Another term used to describe acid reflux disease is gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
But no matter how you refer to it, acid reflux disease is a chronic condition that could cause damage to your esophagus because of repeated acid reflux.
If you think you may have acid reflux disease, talk to your doctor.
Stomach acid, which we need to digest our food, is not a problem when it stays where it belongs—in your stomach.
Acid reflux is a physical condition where the contents of the stomach—including acid—back up (or reflux) into the esophagus.If this condition happens too frequently, it could cause acid reflux disease.
The role of the LES
Between your esophagus and your stomach there is a natural barrier, or valve, called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). For most people, the LES works just fine. But for some people with acid reflux disease, this valve does not always work the way it should for 2 reasons:
How acid reflux occurs
Acid reflux disease occurs when stomach acid regularly escapes into the esophagus. Heartburn is the most common symptom. Other symptoms may include a bad taste in your throat and belching.
To get a better understanding of how acid reflux occurs, watch the video.
Damage to the esophagus
The lining of your stomach is built to handle stomach acid. But the lining of your esophagus is not. It can protect itself for a while, but when acid comes in contact with this lining for an extended period of time, it can lead to serious damage. And as a result, you may experience heartburn and other painful or uncomfortable symptoms.
If left untreated, acid reflux disease may cause damage (erosions) to the lining of the esophagus, a condition known as erosive esophagitis. If you have any concerns about your symptoms, please be sure to talk to your doctor.
In adults (≥18 years of age), one ACIPHEX 20 mg tablet daily is used for the treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms associated with acid reflux disease. ACIPHEX is also used for the short-term (4 to 8 weeks) treatment in the healing and symptom relief of damaging (erosive) acid reflux disease (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and to maintain healing of damage (erosion) and relief of heartburn symptoms that happen with acid reflux disease. ACIPHEX has not been studied for treatment lasting longer than 12 months (1 year).
In adolescents (≥12 years of age), one ACIPHEX 20 mg tablet daily is used for the treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms associated with acid reflux disease.
In children (1 to 11 years of age) ACIPHEX® Sprinkle™ is used for the treatment of acid reflux disease for up to 12 weeks.

Oklahoma City Barons 2010-11
July 24 2010 08:57AM
There's some excitement in Oilers Nation with regard to this year's minor league team. The Oilers are spending actual dollars on making certain the Barons are competitive, and that has the added advantage of giving the parent team some strong options during the regular season.
Oilers fans know Injuries and ineffectiveness can reduce roster depth in a heartbeat. We're quickly arriving at a point where we can (with some confidence) list the likely Barons in their first AHL season.
Goal (an extreme weakness, Oilers need to address the issue before training camp)
- Bryan Pitton (AHL $: 55,000). Tall, lean goalie 2 years pro experience. Most of that has been in the ECHL, with only 8 AHL games on his resume (56 in the ECHL).
The available AHL calibre goalies are drying up. Yann Danis is still available, but he won't come cheap, plus there's the waiver wire to worry about with 4 goalies on the roster who could play in the NHL next season (Khabibulin, JDD, DD, Danis if he signs). (Updated info courtesy Racki, below).
Defense (nice depth here, Oilers have addressed weakness in a real way)
- Shawn Belle (AHL$: 150,000). A nice size/speed combination and a "tools" guy who, at 25, might make a push for the big league roster. If he's a Baron, Belle will be a big part of the team.
- Richard Petiot (AHL$: 105,000). This is a player we should keep our eyes on. Petiot (mobile, good passer) has some negatives (mostly coverage) according to his scouting report. However, he has played 242 AHL games (plus a baker's dozen in the NHL) and might get called up over the kids if he shows well.
- Alex Plante (AHL$: 65,000). Showed more improvement last season than any other first year pro on the Falcons. Suffered a concussion, so it is a concern. If healthy, he could be the first callup to the Oilers.
- Taylor Chorney (AHL$: 62,500). Fine skater, Chorney appears to be Poti-lite. John Short had a theory about American kids who came through high school-college: they were so good at those levels the puck was always on their stick. When the arrive at the pro level, the adjustment is monumental. I think Chorney needs a full season in the minors to regain his confidence and adjust to the physical nature of the game.
- Jeff Petry (AHL$: 62,500). Mobile defender with a nice range of skills. A chaotic pro debut at the end of last season combined with Taylor Chorney's wonky adjustment to pro likely means a full season in Oklahoma. This is one of the prospects Oilers fans should watch very closely this season.
- Johan Motin (AHL: $50,000). There is some anecdotal evidence that suggests Rob Daum moved Alex Plante up the depth chart when injuries and callups impacted the minor league team a year ago. Motin remained at the lower end of the depth chart (while remaining a regular), and this would represent a tell in terms of how the organization sees these two players at this time.
- AHL SIGNING: Jake Taylor. A veteran AHL defender, Taylor should play top 4 minutes and give the coach an opportunity to spot the kids and make them earn playing time. His resume includes over 300 AHL games (676 pims in those games).
The Oilers might sign some more depth (possibly on a level similar to their own free agents from a year ago--Dean Arsene, Matt Nickerson) but there's a nice combination of experience, skill, size and toughness in that group. I didn't include Theo Peckham on this list due to his waiver risk. Some feel it isn't much of a risk, so by all means include him in the conversation if you wish.
Forwards (the best group at F we've seen in years)
- L Alexandre Giroux (One way: $500,000). Eye-popping AHL numbers come at a big cost (one-way deal, as noted by speeds below). He could sell a lot of tickets in Okla City, and he could certainly make the big club with a strong camp (although that runs counter to the rebuild). Exciting signing.
- C Brad Morin (AHL$: 225,000). Former point-per-game player in the AHL returns from solid seasons in Sweden and gets a strong 2-way deal from the Oilers. He's undersized but very skilled, and he might take a run at making the big club this fall. The Oilers C depth chart isn't so strong that he can be dismissed as a candidate.
- R Ben Ondrus (AHL$: 130,000): They used to call guys like this "robust, energy line players." He'll mix it up, come to the aid of his linemates and has plenty of minor league experience. In 392 AHL games, he has 64 goals, so we shouldn't expect an impact player at the AHL level.
- L Greg Stewart (AHL$: 105,000). Big, tough winger who is an actual player (as opposed to being just a knuckle dragger), but--like Ondrus--he isn't going to help you offensively.
- C Ryan O'Marra (AHL$: 70,000): Oilers like his grit and tenacity, and apparently believe the offense will come. He did have his best pro season in 09-10, and has embraced the checker role.
- L Magnus Pääjärvi (AHL$: 67,500). He should make the big club this fall, but it is also true that MPS will have more adjusting to do than Eberle. Should he spend time in Okla City, I'd expect some impressive numbers.
- R Jordan Eberle (AHL$: 65,000). I'm listing him here because there's a chance he spends some time in the minors this season. Eberle's Desjardins AHL equivalency is 80gp, 30-34-64 so if he starts in the minors and scores at that clip it won't be long before the cell phone rings.
- L Linus Omark (AHL$: 65,000). Timing is everything. Had Omark signed a year ago there's every reason to believe he would have either made the club or been called up when the locusts arrived. This season, he's Davy Crockett at the Alamo. He has a good chance to be a legend in Oklahoma by season's end, or he might get called up when one of the kids struggles.
- L Teemu Hartikainen (AHL$: 65,000). Big Finn has improved his foot speed and many regard him as a strong candidate for "6th round steal" from the 2008 draft (that was the Magnificent Bastard's 1st draft as chief scout). Could surprise, although he will most likely spend the season in the minors.
- L Matt Marquardt (AHL$: 65,000). He's big, doesn't score, check or take penalties. Maybe he's a goalie.
- C Chris Vande Velde (AHL$: 62,500). Big center who won a lot of faceoffs in the NCAA, he also has enough skill to be considered a candidate for top 6F time down the line (NHLE for 09-10: 82gp, 13-21-34). He is one college prospect who could surprise (Petry may too) and make the big club in a depth role if he performs well in pre-season. Unlikely, but he fills a need in a weak area on the roster.
- L Philippe Cornet (AHL$: 55,000). The classic "tweener" is going to be hard pressed to make the Barons out of training camp. He might find a home on a scoring line (he has skill) or an energy line (he has gumption) but we shouldn't be surprised to see him land in Stockton this fall.
- C Milan Kytnar (AHL$: 55,000). Stayed an extra year in junior but I don't know that it improved his chances to make the Barons. He does have some defensive pluses on his resume, so Kytnar could surprise. Still, Stockton seems like a more likely place to send his mail.
- AHL Signing: Colin McDonald. Signed a minor league contract and has some range of skills. Can score some goals but is most likely to join O'Marra on a dedicated checking line in Okla City.
I think the Oilers will add some depth here, guys like Reddox (who is still an Oiler, he's RFA but not yet signed) and his type. Should Eberle and MPS make the big club, this team won't have a lot of skill on the wings beyond Giroux and Omark.
This is a much stronger group than a year ago, save for the goaltending. We should hear about a veteran AHL or European goalie being signed in the next few weeks. The Oilers have some real question marks in net at the NHL level, so expecting JDD or DD to start the season in the minors isn't reasonable. And that's without worrying over the waiver risk.The list of strong callup candidates is long and impressive up front: Morin, Giroux, the two kids who might make the big team in camp, Omark, Vande Velde, Hartikainen. Belle is the likely man on the blue.
Are they a playoff team? I have no idea. The Oilers need to finish the roster business before we can project that far down the line. However, they've done some nice things this summer.
July 24 2010, 06:17PM
FYI: Tambellini is basically ticking off the boxes from a template provided him by Rob Daum (before he found out he wasn't being re-hired).
Daum did a detailed assessment of 12 areas with the minor league roster that needed to be addressed and the kinds of players -- those in the system and free agents -- who could address those needs. If you saw the template and the names provided, you'd see this has been paint-by-numbers for Tambellini, who, I suspect, is going to look like he suddenly became a master at putting together an AHL roster.
I was going to write a piece on this but ran out of time before going on vacation.
Wow... that makes Daum's being cut loose even tougher to swallow.
Or easier to understand. There's two types of managers. The good ones surround themselves with people who are smarter than them. The bad ones want to be the smartest one in the room.

July 24 2010, 12:26PM
Already stated, but I feel obligated to say:
1) Pic made my day
2) Haven't enjoyed Bob's show that much in quite a while. Really nice job.
3) Radio is a really tough way to make a living, especially when you are starting out. One of my brothers was in it for a while.
4) Maybe all of us former Sask guys should form RiderOilerNation. There are a lot of people around with those allegiances.
Nice work.

@Dan the Man
Someone should have told them that the "Fall for Hall" was in reference to Taylor, not Richie.
July 24 2010, 09:09AM
This looks like a playoff team if they get a goaltender. I look forward to seeing them play the Aeroes a few times this year. If MacT's comments on Omark following the world championships are on the mark, Omark may spend most of his time on the big club with Eberle and/or MPS learning the pro game in OKC. I sort of like that idea.
July 24 2010, 09:15AM
Sheldon Souray is a glaring Barons omission :) What about Olivier Roy? LT, Good interview with Stauf, you'll have to get on him some more.
Giroux is on a one way deal at 500K; it was last year that he made 150K in the AHL
Great stuff with Bob yesterday. Looking forward to (hopefully) hearing more of you on The Team 1260. I'm relatively new to you because I'm a Flames fan & rarely stray too far away from The Nation's, but I've heard of you for years & even occasionally checked in. I almost thought you were a mythical person with some of the praises I've heard directed your way. Nice to finally get to reading you more regularly. Also, I had no clue of your previous radio works either. You absolutely killed it... keep it up!
That is a nice shirt she's wearing!
Yer darn tootin' LT,
Best ON post yet and not for the obvious reason(s), this post sounds the most like you yet and is a great read for the dog days o' summer. With this quality on the farm there's bound to be some surprises at training camp, the boys at C&B had a great write up on the Finnish connection so I'm cheerin' for Paajarvi and Hartikainen.
Its also conceivable that they'll get JDD/DD. Not a guarantee, but possible.
Yann Danis or even Wade Dubieliwicz would be decent options otherwise.
First thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUrjHhbVmrA
Second thought: It'd be nice if GM 3.0 could fill some holes at the NHL level now so this is actually the AHL roster. While Eberle and Paajarvi probably don't NEED AHL time, they could probably use it.
Third thought: I hope Hartikainen gets some primo minutes... he's got future fan favorite written all over him.
Last thought: I think I'd rather have OK City's PK than ours this year.
First off, uhm.. awesome post pic. :P
Secondly, there are still some OK goaltending UFAs out there. I personally like Yann Danis. Wade Dubielewicz is another guy still out there too, if I'm not mistaken.
As for Valiquette, he signed with CSKA Moscow at the end of last year. They need a KHL version of capgeek.. not sure how long he's there for, however:
At any rate, last year, before Doobie was called up to the big club, the Falcons were in a race for first place in the conference. That all fell appart as callups started happening. I remember when they called up Dubnyk the first time, they went a HUGE length of time without a win. It's a huge priority for the Oilers... they shouldn't be dragging their butts here.
I presume Olivier Roy will be in OKC next year (as Nate mentioned), but he'll need a good vet to share the load with. And by share the load, I mean play most of the games.
Edit: Valiquette's deal is for 2 years.
edit2: damn, that's a no for Roy, since he is only 19 and drafted into the CHL... can't play in OKC this year until his CHL season is done, as LT pointed out
Hey Lowetide,
It sounds like you have spun a few records in your day! It was a nice change on the airwaves yesterday! You have to convince that Chase guy to grab some lessons from you on being charismatic...
I personally miss radio myself, but don't miss the pay! It's guys like JG, that have all the passion for what he does...
Racki: Thanks for the Valiquette info. Can Roy play in the AHL at 19?
Oh damn, I forgot he was only 19.. so no, he can't.. unless he turns 20 by the end of the year (which he does not).
So that's a no to Roy. Good point. ;)
I hear you. I did the morning show in N. Battleford Sask for a bit and for that time it was -40 Saskatchewan style, with the wind blowing through you at 5am! :) I later traded for the -40 in the evening option later on... LOL
Yes I started out at CJNB, with Ron in the mornings! Harry Sr was doing the Friday night polka dance party. He still up until a few years ago was coming in on Sunday mornings still. I was doing some opping with Harry Sr when I started! I later then took the Drive time shift on Q98. I'm drawing a blank, but I can't remember the two sports desk guys. One of them ended up in major market radio. I still talk to Harry Jr once in a blue moon, well almost two years now. He was disappointed that I dropped radio.
Ross Creek: Thanks. I started my radio career in 1980, which makes me old. :-)
That was a good year... I was born that April ;-)
You had me at the picture.

If Khabibulin is injured/incarcerated can the Oilers put him on waivers?
Would anyone take him @ 1.875 for 3 more years?
I think he might clear on the way down which could help OKC this year.

Good read LT. I work in Maidstone all the time in the patch. Any one have the link to 1260's show yesterday ? I missed it since I'm working out in Manitoba

Thanks Ross. Howard Stern maybe the king of all media but you are the King of the internet
C'mon Lowetide, fess up, it was the Charlene song that triggered you punting yourself off the radio. lol
I think you're giving the defense core too much credit here, LT. It doesn't look much better than last year and they were terrible last year.
Does anyone else wonder how many games Omark is willing to play in the AHL? His AHL salary is $65k compared to his NHL Salary of $875k. He made $1.4M last year in Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if he bolts back to Moneyland after 10-15 games.
I'm kind of hoping he blows away some of the younger guys in camp and sticks with the big club just so that the younger guys can develop on the farm.
Olivier Roy needs to stay in junior and dominate so that he can be Canada's number one guy come christmas. Should be fun.
I think Sabourin would have been a good pick up for the farm but they missed their chance. It looks like slim pickings nowadays. Just what are they doing with Deslaurier?
Go Kytnar!

I think I've come across that girl before...somewhere.
Somewhere Bruce Landon is giving the finger to Edmonton management.
mmmm... look at those tatters. NOM NOM NOM.
My hope is that we don't go out and sign a veteran AHL type goalie. I think we have an opportunity to give a goalie with real potential a shot.
Burke screwed Toronto for the next 20 years with the Kessel deal but one thing he's done is add Gustavsson, Rynnas and Scrivens for free and one of them is likely to pan out as a #1.
Instead we waste our time on guys like Denis and Valiquette? Such a waste.
In baseball terms it's like not being bothered signing free assets from Dominican Republic.

I believe if he is incarcerated during the season we can cancel his contract since he can't contractually live up to the obligation. So I am happier every time his trial is delayed. I haven't seen anything about it in CBA though (unlike the NFL and NBA the NHL does not plan on a % of their players going to jail each year it appears).
Khabibulin is a total wild card this year, management are going to suffer through the three headed monster again until Bulin can prove he is back????? Concerns being has he trained at all this summer other tnan his liver? 60/40 this year his back reacts the same as last year. If you are Management don't you have to sign JDD at whatever he is awarded? I can't see Khabibulin being ready with all the extra ciricular crap going on and if he isn't close. Do you give him the Souray treatment.(waivers). He is the only one who I can see playing for the Barons this winter!
HAHA on nifty 1050???

What about (LW) Phillipe Cornet? Wouldn't he be with the Barons this year?
And what about (D) Jordan Bendfield?

If the Oilers put Khabibulin on waivers can he be brought up next off season without losing him to re-entry?
I'm suggesting the Oilers eat this season of Khabibulin's contract, hope he can go un-claimed,let him "rekhab" in OKC, and the Oilers squeeze 2 good season out of him.
Or cut the loss now @ 1.85 for 3 yearsif he gets picked up ...
We don't want Roy in OKC this year. He has a chance to play for Canada at the World Juniors.
(Edit: Yes, I realize he can't go to the AHL, I'm just saying that's a good thing.)

new word of the day BOOBAGE 2 very good reasons to call in sick every other day lol

With a better AHL line up, it will help keep pressure on the NHL roster. Something that this team has never really had. With some capable players able to fill a spot on the NHL team, there can't be any Nilsson or O'sullivan type players this year.
