Breaking News: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is sick and will not play tonight...Rishaug just reported from the rink. So Oilers will have to dress two non-centres tonight. Ouch.
After a gutsy third period got them a win over Nashville on Sunday, the Oilers need to attack the struggling San Jose Sharks early tonight and get them on their heels. The Sharks have been one of the worst teams in the league since February 1st.
The Sharks are a woeful 5-10-6 after starting the season with seven straight wins. The Sharks outscored their opponents 27-12 in their first 7 games, but they've been outscored 59-36 in their last 21.
They Sharks are struggling and if the Oilers want to stay in the playoff hunt tonight is a game they need to win.
The Sharks don't have any offensive depth. Joe Thornton (27), Patrick Marleau (23), Logan Couture (21) and Joe Pavelski (17) are the only forwards with more than ten points.
The Oilers have way more scoring depth. Sam Gagner (27), Taylor Hall (26), Jordan Eberle (20), Ales Hemsky (17), Nail Yakupov (14) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (11) are in double-digits, while Magnus Paajarvi has 6 points in his last 8 games.
The Sharks are ahead of the Oilers in the standings, but right now they are not playing like a superior team.
The only change might be Hartikainen coming in for Jones, but after listening to Ralph Krueger yesterday I think he'll stick with Jones. Jones couldn't do any activity for the entire month of January, due to his eye injury, and that hurt his conditioning. Krueger feels Jones is getting better every day and feels the extra time between games has allowed him to improve his cardio. It sounds like he wants to give him a few more games and see if the improved conditioning will help Jones.
The Oilers are in the midst of their first playoff run in four years and yesterday Jonathan Willis and David Staples suggested it would be wise to trade Ryan Whitney. Let's look at this a little closer.
There is no doubt Whitney struggled early this season, but lately he has played better, especially offensively. After the nine-game road trip, where Whitney scored three goals, he admitted that despite his offence coming around he still needed to work on his gaps and his overall defensive game. No one is arguing he can't improve there.
He'll never be considered a great defensive D-man, however, he does excel on the powerplay and that is why trading Whitney at this point of the season would be a step backwards.
- 37% of the Oilers goals have come on the powerplay. They rely on their PP more than any other team in the NHL, and Whitney is the best PP D-man they have. The Oilers have no adequate replacement on the roster, and considering they rely that much on the PP to score, I don't see why you would risk trading away your best PP D-man while you are at the start of a playoff run.
- Staples ad Willis suggested Corey Potter could fill in. The same Potter who has 0 points this year. First off he shoots right, and the Oilers 2nd PP unit is set up so a left shooting D-man quarterbacks the powerplay. So, outside of replacing Whitney with an inferior PP player, you are now going to adjust their system, even though the Oilers PP has been very effective at 22.9%. I say, pardon.
- Staples suggested Potter was great on the PP early last season, but then he lost PP time to Whitney. Let's look at that.
|Corey Potter
|Ryan Whitney
|Jeff Petry
|Cam Barker
- In fact, Potter averaged more PPTOI/G and he had 38:36 more PP time all season. Potter finished with 11 PPP, while Whitney had 10. Potter had six of his PPP in the first 9 games of the season, and then produced only 5 in the remaining 57. He had a great start to the season, but I don't think we should use a good nine-game stretch as the basis that Potter is an above-average PP player.
- In the 21 games Whitney has played this season the PP is 21 for 78, 26.9%. Whitney has been on the ice for ten of those goals and has five points. In the 7 games he sat, the PP was 4 for 31 at 12.9%.
- In the six games Potter played while Whitney sat, Potter played 11:48 on the PP scoring no points and he was on for one PP goal. He averaged 1:58 of PP time in those games, while Whitney plays 2:38.
- It is clear that Whitney has a much bigger impact on the PP than Potter.
- Whitney is even better than Justin Schultz when you look at PP time=production. Whitney has played 55 minutes of PP TOI and he's been on the ice for 10 PP goals. Schultz has 155 minutes of PP TOI and he's been on for 15 goals. Schultz is a rookie and he's already a very good PP player, and I expect he'll be even better in the future, but right now Whitney is still more productive.
- Unless you believe the Oilers are suddenly going to become a productive ES team, I see no reason why you trade Whitney. The organization wants their young players to experience "playoff-like" games, and if they want that to happen they should keep Whitney because he helps the PP. And right now the Oilers can't win without a successful powerplay.
- The other suggestion was that you could replace Whitney with Jeff Petry. Petry is already playing 22 minutes a night, and he isn't dominating. Adding more minutes and giving him less rest won't make him play better, nor will it make the PP more effective.
- Trading him for a draft pick is pointless, absolutely pointless, at this juncture of the season. The Oilers need to play meaningful games, and stay competitive now, rather than add another 2nd round pick that might, slim chance, help them in four years.
- It is clear Whitney is very good on the PP, and considering how much production they need from their PP to win games, it makes little sense to move Whitney him. The Oilers do not have an adequate replacement. If the Oilers are out of it after the next seven games, then for sure you look at moving him, but if they are in the mix I wouldn't move him for a draft pick.
- Last night Daniel Alfredsson become only the 57th player in NHL history to record 1,100 career regular season points. He is also one of the rare players who had his best offensive season between the age of 30-35. He had 78 points at 30 years of age, 80 at 31, lockout at 32, 103 at 33, 87 at 34 and 89 points as a 35-year-old. Impressive.
- He's likely to become only the 11th player with 1,100+ points to play for only one team/organization for his entire career. Can you name the other ten? *Answer below.
- The Columbus Blue Jackets are 7-0-4 in their last 11 games and are now tied for 8th place. They only way they keep winning is if Sergei Bobrovsky keeps standing on his head. The Jackets were outshot in 9 of the 11 games, by a margin of 297 to 362. They are giving up 33 shots against in this unbeaten streak. They also played 9 of those games at home and a whopping nine of them went to OT. They were 3-2 in SO and 2-2 in OT. It is great for fans in Columbus to have their team in the hunt, but they will need to tighten up defensively to stay competitive. Bobrovsky has a .966 SV% in their last nine games. Incredible.
- The Oilers had almost a perfect last few days, and they didn't even play. There were no 3-point games involving teams in the playoff hunt, and the Sharks, Predators, Flames, and Coyotes (twice) all lost. Now it is up to the Oilers to win.
- Carey Price is getting a lot of hype for the Vezina, and deservedly so, but Tukka Rask has been stellar with for the Bruins with a 1.92 GAA and 0.928 SV%. If Bobrovsky continues his stellar play he'd have to be considered.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Oilers score three minutes in, and skate away with a 4-2 win led by two goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Devan Dubnyk is much better in the first frame tonight than he was when the Sharks lit him up for six goals in 20 minutes in the home opener. (Easiest prediction ever.)
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: With only one goal in his last 20 games, Nail Yakupov is the second one on the ice for warm up. As he is circling the ice he stops at the top of the right faceoff circle and motions to Paajarvi to come over. Paajarvi stops and after a brief moment, he smiles and laughs. Yakupov looks at him seriously and then Paajarvi mouths something to him. Yakupov smiles and says something back, then he skates away. Paajarvi looks a bit perplexed, but then continues his warm up.
Yakupov scores a PP goal in the 2nd period, and after the game he explains the what happened during warm up. It turns out Russian are very superstitious. Yakupov asked Paajarvi to say, "ни пуха ни пера!" which roughly translates to "neither fur, nor feather!" which means good luck. Then Yakupov replied, "К чёрту!" which means, "To the Devil," which is a way of securing good luck. Yakupov explains Russians do this before important tests, and since he tonight was considered a "good test" for the Oilers he thought he'd try it.
** Daniel Alfredsson is now the 11th player in NHL history to play for only one team/organization and score 1,100 points.

Let me be the FIST to say Whitney has served his time admirably as an Oiler and the two points tonight are the biggest ones yet! Fire it up BOYS!
(PS: First FIST, super-pumped!)
March 20 2013, 10:59AM
I don't understand why all the Whitney hate. The guy came off a big surgery and looks by eye to be rounding into a comfortable/confident game.
Hopefully the boys can pull out a win here and turn it into a 4game streak. Just win in regulation tonight thats all they need.
March 20 2013, 11:02AM
while I am not an expert, it seems to me that most major injury takes 3-4 months playing time, for the player to get back to previous strengths.
Whitney is just coming around now and is an asset, not a liability.
March 20 2013, 11:06AM
Thank you for defending Whitney! He's been doing much better lately. Going to my first Oilers game this year tonight, can't wait!
GDP: Oil win off the back of Hallsy, 5-3 OGDP: Rishaug gets Thornton going with a pre-game interview NSOGDP: Mike Brown gets his first Gordie Howe Hat-trick, with a fight in the first, an assist in the second, and an insurance goal in the third. After the game, reports come from OKC of Ben Eager weeping in the corner of his hotel room.
The "Not-So-Obvious" Game-Day Prediction seems PRETTY OBVIOUS to me. Come on Gregor, be better. When does Yakupov NOT do that???
March 20 2013, 11:06AM
In fairness, I suggested Jeff Petry and Corey Potter as possibilities for PP#2, and on Twitter subsequently made it clear that my preference would be to see Petry in that role.
March 20 2013, 11:14AM
now if Potter could learn to skate over the oppositions face rather than our own players....
No Fistric? nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I get that Krueger doesn't want guys sitting for too long, but I also don't care.
Fistric hasn't been nearly as slow as his reputation. He's quick enough to get there for the hits.
His defensive game is good. He leads the team in +/-. And when he starts hitting, it seems the rest of the team follows.
Potter on the other hand... fail.
March 20 2013, 11:16AM
The only issue for Whitney on the PP is...the Oilers generate the least amount of shots per hour when he's on the ice of any other PP option on the team (25.2/60). To put that in perspective, the worst PP shot rate in the league is this year is 38.3/60.
The reason he has decent PP point total is the Oilers have scored on over 26% of their shots at 5on4 with him on the ice. Really, really effective units score on about 15% of their shots long-term and the league average is about 12%.
Now, you can assign that sky high conversion rate to something Whitney does, but that would make him the most effective PP quarterback in the league by a very wide margin. In reality, he's probably been fortunate, particularly since the team doesn't generate a high volume of shots when he's out there.
I don't know if Potter or Petry would be better in his stead though. This year no one other than Schultz has spent enough time on the PP to make a meaningful comparison.
March 20 2013, 11:17AM
Here are my guesses: Lemieux, Yzerman, Sakic, Beliveau, Richard, Stasney, Bossy Lidstrom, Esposito (did he play anywhere other than Chi?), Brind'Amour (Hartford/Carolina only?)... can't think of any others... Probably another Hab in there...
now to look at the answers...
I think the argument for trading Whitney is about not losing a player for nothing. True a second round pick might turn out to be nothing in four years. But relying on Whitney to get better, or any one on the team for that matter seems like a bad way to run a team. Especially after so long of a wait.
Also, as the season goes on, don't the whistles get put away? Thus negating Whitney's effectiveness due to less penalties?
I mean how effective is a guy who is leaky defensively, bu happens to play half a power play each night?
March 20 2013, 11:22AM
6 of 10... not too horrible. Should have had Clarke. Didn't remember Stasney as a Devil. Delvecchio scored 1100?!? I guess that's what a 25 year career will do.
The question regarding Whitney then becomes how much of the PP succeeding is because of him and how much is it because of plain old luck?
For instance, the puck is going in with Whitney on the ice, but the Oilers aren't generating a heck of a lot of shots, nor is Whitney contributing many points on the PP (right now he's 8th on the team in PPP/60). He's also benefitted from a 26.67 shooting % while he's on the ice.
So is this just a hot shooting phase while Whitney is on the ice or is it something more?
I don't disagree that, right now, he's one of the 2 best D options for the Oilers PP... but I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment that the Oilers have to keep him because of that. You have to counter that with the fact that he's still bleeding a lot at ES.
I honestly don't see why Petry doesn't get more PP time and less PK time. He has a pretty balanced skill set, but he's heavily used in defensive situations. This time could probably be eaten up by Fistric or N. Schultz instead.
I'd also say that Justin Schultz is our best powerplay d-man, not Whitney. Yes, Schultz is likely bagged, and he can't possibly get any more powerplay time. But to say Whitney is our best powerplay defenseman is a fallacy, IMHO, and seems like you just forgot we have Justin Schultz.
That said, I wouldn't go trading away Ryan Whitney for the first thing we can get... but if he can address other needs, I'd still say you have to consider it. Jeff Petry or another d-man can replace the whopping 5 power play points Whitney has brought us this year.
Ryan Whitney is hot, and that is bumping up his value and enamoring fans to him again. But after watching him struggle the past couple years and the injury problems, I'd say it's not a bad idea to consider moving him.
The Oilers powerplays should be largely driven by Hall, Yakupov, Nuge, Eberle, J. Schultz, and to a lesser extent Horcoff (since someone has to gain puck possession). Whitney fits in there, but I don't think he's an irreplaceable part.
Edit: also of course Gagner and Hemsky key players on the PP too
March 20 2013, 11:43AM
If Sam Gagner plays 13 more seasons with the Oilers (up to age 36) and averages 60 pts a season, he will break the 1000 pts mark.
It just shows what an impressive accomplishment that Alfredsson has acheived.
I think the key point is missed on the Whitney trade item. Whitney is a free agent in the off-season and is likely not to be re-signed prior to going to market.
Also, last place Colorado is 4 pts lower than the Oilers and 6 out of a playoff position, and Calgary is 2 pts lower than the Oilers and 4 pts out of a playoff position with 1 game in hand on the Oil. Everyone is in a playoff race.
Losing Whitney to free agency for nothing in return is horrible asset management. Does anyone believe the Oilers are going to win the cup this year with Ryan Whitney? How much do the odds change when Whitney is removed?
It would not be worth it to trade him for a pick outside of the first round. However, if the Oilers could possibly get a 1st for him or a legitimate hockey player in return they do it.
I realize fantasy trade proposals are often just that, but I would like to see Whitney be moved for a player like Drew Stafford out of Buffalo.
Unless at the deadline a team got desperate and offered a mid round 1st rounder, I don't think Whitney gets traded. If the oilers lose 4-5 of the next 7 games before trade deadline then probably Whitney gets traded since Oilers will be mostly out of playoff contention.
So excited for tonight. Going to be a great game. my perdictions. Eberle with the hat trick, Thorton injured, sharks pull their goalie after the 1st.
March 20 2013, 11:51AM
Unless you are bringing a better player back, it makes little sense to trade Whitney if the team is still in the thick of the playoff hunt - and if there is such a deal out there it would be better to make it sooner rather than waiting until the deadline so they player and team have time to mesh.
Unless of course you're fine running both Potter and Fistric in your top 6, and replacing him with a LH forward on the PP point.
March 20 2013, 11:59AM
Hey all, long time reader of Oilersnation, and finally decided to sign up and chime in. I really don't think trading Whitney is a good move right now, the Oil simply won't get enough for him to make it worth it. Also, why all the talk of trading Gagner? He's our first point-a-game center since Doug Weight (if I'm not mistaken) who's still years away from his prime. He's small, but if he produces, then so what?
If he's not part of next year's team, then trade him. It's very marginal having him on PP verses what he provides at ES.
March 20 2013, 12:01PM
Unless the Oilers are going to re-sign Whitney then they HAVE to trade him. Yes, its nice that they are in a playoff race but Whitney has been good (better) for 2 weeks. He could go back to being a complete liability as soon as this little warm streak ends.
If he walks for nothing then all the Oilers get out of keeping him is 20 games of mediocre hockey. This is being touted as a very deep Draft year. A 2nd round pick is a good return and with so many teams bunched up I doubt there will be many sellers. The Oilers could potentially get VERY good value for Whitney.
Will not having Whitney in the lineup really negatively affect the team? Maybe, but he wont be here next year so they better learn how to play without him now.
March 20 2013, 12:01PM
Also, Oilers win 2-1 tonight, Jones with the winner.
March 20 2013, 12:01PM
Welcome to the Comment section!
Let's claim Komisarek
I would rather take mike Komisarik off waivers than have Potter. I'd keep Whitney and put Potter on waivers and send him to the minors. Coach Kreuger seems to be in love with Potter. His stats don't give a reason for it.His play is soft. I don't get the reason why Potter is still here. If he scored that would be one thing. If he delivered hits like Fistric that would be another. If he fought like Peckham I could see it. But he dose not do any of those things at all. I would rather we play Potter and Peckham as a pairing. Or pick up Komisarik. At least he makes you pay the price for the puck. So sick of watching the Joe Thortons of the league just get a free pass when they have the puck in the Oilers zone. Fistric atleast is heavy on the puck and will engage physically. Potter. Don't touch me I'll break. How many hits does he have all season? Like 10? Whitney I can see the logic. But his UFA status makes him an asset that is expendable to a playoff bound team. I also see the Oilers hedging their bet and taking a run at the playoffs if they are close and not trading Whitney.Next 10 days will tell where we go. Should be fun.
Let's claim Komisarek
Well would you look at that, there are members of Leafsnation reading the articles over here at Oilersnation.
In fairness, I suggested Jeff Petry and Corey Potter as possibilities for PP#2, and on Twitter subsequently made it clear that my preference would be to see Petry in that role.
Looking at the draft class and the prospect pool of the team, I'd say you're right about any or the UFA's they don't sign.
This could be the "Watershed" draft that LT's aways talking about.
March 20 2013, 12:16PM
I want Jonathan Drouin. The Oilers need a kid of his ilk moreso than a kid whom the Oilers won't see for 2 or 3 years. Move Hall to the middle to make romm for him.
Deadwood out, new life in please. Thornton runs the Oilers show again this evening, 6-3 Sharks.
When you combine the years of losing (and losing horribly), with the sniff of opportunity this season and the approaching trade deadline, and then factor in all the sideways opinions of rabid fans, you really need to be wary of falling victim to the Dopeler effect - which is the tendency of stupid ideas to appear smarter when they come at you rapidly.
March 20 2013, 12:20PM
"37% of the Oilers goals have come on the powerplay. They rely on their PP more than any other team in the NHL, and Whitney is the best PP D-man they have. "
Is it just me or is everything about this sentence INSANELY ALARMING????
Why do you trade Gagner? Well if you want a big power forward in your top 6 you are going to have to give up something to get him. As the Fab 5 are apparently untouchable (not my opinion) then that leaves Hemsky/Gagner. Gagner's play this year would dictate he gets you the better return. Not to mention he is a FA at the end of this year.
Why wouldn't you trade him as a rental, get an asset, then re-sign him as an FA this summer?
Not really, OilersNation in Cowtown.
Why not, we need more beef on the backend. Fistric is not enough.
Gagner is RFA this summer, meaning the Oilers would have to offer sheet the team they trade him to, to reacquire him. This would cost many draft pics with the salary he's going to get.
Gregor, why can't Whitney be dealt for a pick to a playoff team and that pick (and other picks and prospects) get dealt for a better, younger NHL player from a seller at the deadline who would be here going forward?
I think that its clear that (by his own admission) the the ankle never will be the same. He has learned to play within his limitations, but won't ever be a top pairing guy again.
I think he can be replaced by Potter/ Fistric/ Peckham. I would rather have a second round pick than the difference between Whitney and one of these guys in the 13 games left after the trade deadline.
They won't re-sign him. Surely to goodness the Oilers will look to upgrade the D in the offseason and bring in someone at least better than Whitney.
Willis is right. Trade him!
How many years of tanking and promoting a losing culture do you suggest the Oilers continue to have? Infinite top draft pics coming in means you are in a constant state of rebuild and development. The cupboard is sufficiently stocked for now. Time to move some assets/picks/prospects for some solid NHL players and lets get this ship moving forward.
Losing is not acceptable and this culture of celebrating the first overall pick as some kind of reward for sucking has to change.
I have never been so disappointed as an Oiler fan than to see all these idiots in a bar on draft day celebrating the first overall pick!
March 20 2013, 12:32PM
"37% of the Oilers goals have come on the powerplay. They rely on their PP more than any other team in the NHL, and Whitney is the best PP D-man they have. "
Is it just me or is everything about this sentence INSANELY ALARMING????
Even more alarming when you realize how piss-poor our PP has been of late.
The fact that we are still riding an obscenely hot PP start, however, shouldn't delude us.
Variance is swinging back against us and it will to Whitney too.
Trade him while the showcase is fruitful.
Apologies justdoit, I couldn't remember if he was restricted or not. But my comments of him still bringing the better return stand.
March 20 2013, 12:33PM
Here are my guesses: Lemieux, Yzerman, Sakic, Beliveau, Richard, Stasney, Bossy Lidstrom, Esposito (did he play anywhere other than Chi?), Brind'Amour (Hartford/Carolina only?)... can't think of any others... Probably another Hab in there...
now to look at the answers...
Esposito plated for the Bruins and the Rangers, Brind'Amour played for St Louis and Philly and I think Stasney played for New Jersey as well as Nordiques.
March 20 2013, 12:33PM
I don't think you trade Whitney now unless he's part of a package that brings back something spectacular in return (not likely). Besides, it's not like the team really loses anything if they keep him and he signs somewhere else in the summer...they will gain his cap room for another player.
Also, if Whitney does finish strong for the Oilers this year would the Oil consider offering him a one year, vet-minimum type deal? He's been a good Oiler despite his injuries and he seems to want to continue to be an Oiler.
@Jason Gregor
"And tell me why trading him for a 2nd round pick, which has a 15-20% of working out makes sense."
I'll take a crack at it, however I am no stats/odds expert.
Bodog currently has the Oilers odds for a Stanley Cup at 50/1, or 2%. Say 10/1 of that is their margin, leaving 40/1, or a 2.5% chance that the Oilers win the cup this year. If the Oilers lose Whitney from the lineup for the rest of the year I would argue that the 2.5% chance does not get cut by any significant amount. At 2.5%, who cares, they aren't doing it this year with or without Whitney.
I would rather see Whitney shipped away for a 15-20% chance of acquiring an NHL player than to be kept on the roster to the end of the year and lost to free agency for nothing. It is true that Whitney is on a nice run at the moment, but what happens when he returns to the form he was in at the beginning of this season? He ends up not in the lineup and the Oilers get nothing in return.
I don't think the odds for picks developing into players in the later rounds would be worth it, however. If Whitney makes that much of a difference to a team, as you are alluding to, a team (such as Pitt, who are being given a 5/1 shot at the cup) would be more than willing to offer something of value for his services in the playoffs this year alone.
Of course, a trade for an actual NHL player would be best. But losing him for nothing is inexcusable at this point in the Oilers rebuild.
Edit: I apologize, I didn't see that you replied to me prior to me posting this. But, yes I am fully assuming the Oilers are not re-signing Whitney. Stafford for Whitney just an example of something the Oilers should try to acquire, throw in a pick.
Hey, remember when the Oilers could have picked up Cody Franson (2G 15A 17P +11) for peanuts but everyone here thought a 24 year old defenseman had no room to improve.
How would a 6'5" 215 lb smooth skating defenseman look on the Oilers blue line about now?
That Burke sure is a dummy.
March 20 2013, 12:38PM
No Fistric? nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

WHAT!?? NO Fistric??? WTF! whats wrong with Krueger? Is he blind? sheesh
March 20 2013, 12:38PM
Not really, OilersNation in Cowtown.
Why not, we need more beef on the backend. Fistric is not enough.
4.5mil per for this year and next is why not.
im all for adding some more size on the backend, but picking up a 4.5mil 6/7 dman? really?

I've played 27 holes with this app and I'm very impressed. I was going to buy a handheld GPS but glad I saved the $260. For $30 this is a GREAT product. I even had someone with a rangefinder verify and this app was dead on. My battery lasted for 18 holes on a full charge.
This is a an app that really works as advertised. However I suspect it is not much used by pro golfers and those that get "eagles" and "Pelicans". The more normal of us would get more help if the statistics showed the (dreaded) triple bogeys as opposed to bogeys and double bogeys, rather than use the capacity for eagle and pelicans.
This thing is perfect. Turn around for adding new courses has averaged about a day. Highly recommend.
Very impressed with this app and so are my friends. Yardages have been more accurate than expected and I check it occasionally with my rangefinder. Only problem - now I am the one always keeping score for the foursome now!!! You can't go wrong with this app.
This is an amazing app. With the new update there are even more features to enjoy! Swing tracking is great! I also really like the photo option at the end of your round. It's a nice way to remember the fun day you've spent with your friends. Keep up the great work, Golfshot!
I agree with the majority on this one. Sure, it's $30, but you get just about any course anywhere forever. I just discovered it doesn't work on Kaua'i, however.
This is an amazing app. Easier to use than a score card. The fact it maintains your previous rounds and stats for future reference is very helpful. Just be sure to charge your phone before your round. Buy this app.
Had that other app, but did not like it, so tried GolfShot. LOVE IT!!!
Can't say enough great things about this app!! I was a 6 handicap before now I'm a scratch golfer!! The BEST!! So user friendly!! I have used it for over a year now and played in 10 different states and it's awesome!! Worth the money!!
This app is amazing! The yardages are very accurate and the score and stat tracking feature is terrific. I can't believe all you get for the price. I don't know why anyone would buy an expensive GPS when this is available? All my friends are getting this after seeing mine.
I've given my SkyCaddie away. This app is reliable and accurate. The last upgrade to track distance and store results by individual club now makes this complete. I've recommended this to others and they are very satisfied as well.
Excellent app! I still have subscription to SG5. This app outperforms the SG5 and Golf Buddy 100 folds.
This app is so much better than I expected. The distances have been spot on and the tools it provides have helped me to be more consistent.
I wanted a skycaddie or range finder so I could easily know my distance to the green but I didn't want to pay $150+. I gambled and bought this and couldn't be happier. Distances seem to match markers on the course. I was worried it would kill my battery but was pleased to find that I only went down 20% in a 5 hour round.
This app is so much better than I expected. The distances have been spot on and the tools it provides have helped me to be more consistent.
First things first! I love this program hence the five stars.
I have never left a review for anything although I consider myself a very educated consumer. By nature I must see positive reviews before buying anything. I am the anti impulse buyer. Enough about me lets talk Golfshot. If I could I would get on my knees and now down and praise the makers of this app. I liked the older version and would always show it off to my friends. They all have it on there phones.
Update 11-11-11
This is an excellent gold gps app! Not only does it give fairy accurate distances but allows you to track club distances as well as several other stats. As with other iPhone gps apps I have found that once or twice a round the yardage does not update as quickly as my friends upro gps however the yardages were almost always within a yard or two. Overall I am very happy with this. Also the battery on the iPhone 4s seems to last ok with this. The two rounds I played with it I was left with about forty percent on my battery starting with a full charge and disabling wifi and bluetooth.
Great app!!!
This is the first review I've taken the time to write. This is the real deal. Don't let the price stop you of you want a great gps app. Besides the actual gps has some other great features!
Great app for a weekend warrior. If you're not familiar with a course, it will give you the distance to hazards and to the front/back/middle of the green.
Hands down.
used the shot tracking features of the new update over the weekend and was very impressed. easy to use and logged distances and accuracy on my clubs. also has cool use of the camera and note taking. i took a pic of my foursome at the end of my round and it posted to my scorecard on golfshot.com - very cool.
Yardages are within 1 or 2 yards of sprinkler heads I find close by. The 4s works so much faster and better than my 3GS, it gives me yardage as soon as I get to my ball. The stats are great, you can really see where your weakness are. Overall a great app! Well done! Rule 27-1 is broken far more often than the use of gps systems on the course.

I am sorry your other parent is now a stranger & outsider to you. It did not have to be this way after the divorce. You enjoyed a relationship with your other parent until your custodial parent replaced your other parent with a step parent & met NJ residency requirements to refile a divorce complaint. Your custodial parent sought divorce, moved you from the family home, filed bankruptcy included family home ensured your other parent got 100% of debt, so you would be uncomfortable & in an unfamiliar new home that you would not want to visit your other parent at. Your custodial parent stopped your visits, stopped transporting to the meet up location, interfered with your phone calls, filed many police complaints to deny u access so you would be denied opportunies to enjoy a healthy relationship with your other parent. Your custodial parent reminded you that your other parent: does not pay enough, was not there for you, never went to court, signed misleading unprovisioned document terms, called you, yet your other parent seldom was allowed to speak to you during that time, your other parent was forced out of your life. Your custodial parent lied & manipulated your emotions, denied you access to your other parent, destroyed that relationship, exposed you to adult financial disgruntlements & did not support your other parental relationship. So for the last 2000 days you did not enjoy any encouragement, holidays, summer vacations, weekend visits, Christmas presents, & birthday presents from your other parent because your custodial parent did not support your parental relationship with your other parent. Your memories have been stolen, 5 yrs erased awkward, huh. Maybe you fear rejection from one or both parents, bitter for being duped, you never realized your custodial parent denied you & you never had a choice, you could not have stopped your custodial parent's behavior; these are issues no kid deal with. If you take one thing from this, you are person not a possession. You have emotional needs that have been neglected. You should not have been your custodial parent's confidant; you were just a kid. Your custodial parent failed u because u have no memories or relationship with your other parent. Your friends who have divorced parents see both parents, right? You have a voice & you deserve to tell your other parent what a terrible parent they were: they did not take care of you, did not pay enough, left u to deal with the divorce issues, u did not want to be in the middle, did not visit, were never there, wouldnt let minor date adults, did nothing for you, made u attend church, or whatever that other parent's defect was. After all your other parent didn't attend your events, teach you to ride your bike, swim, hunt, fish, or provide for you prior to/after the divorce, or did they? Your other parent did not show you love at all your whole life, or did they? Who stole your voice? How has your custodial parent's distorted actions & point of view about your other parent affected you? Your silence says a lot why you are unable to answer why you dont want a relationship with your other parent. Even angry kids have reasons. What did this other parent do? Just because your parents are divorced does not mean you must sever your other parent ties; you can love 2 parents. Trust broken is hard to repair. Your deserved to enjoy a relationship with both parents after the divorce. I am sorry your cus...

Hi, I'm jamie.
I'm a mentor in Vegetarian, Beverage
I'm from Detroit
View my Profile | View my Recipes
My Vegetarian Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I like sharing recipes, meeting new people. I'm also open to learning so hopefully if I help you, you'll send me some good tips too.
What inspires me in this category:
I'm inspired by people who can go into the kitchen and whip up a four course meal with nothing in the fridge. That's the type of home chef I want to be.
While I am not the best vegetarian cook (still learning) I do know a lot about ordering vegetarian meals in a restaurant.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Not all tofu is alike.
Education, Awards, Pro Experience:
Home chef all the way -
My Tips:
- Be careful with soy sauce - while you're eating less calories with tofu, the salt content alone can kill you.
My Beverage Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I thought it would be fun to connect with others who like making a mean drink. I'm hoping to be helpful so that you can create your on drinks -
I'm a wiz at coffee and martinis - so I picked beverages instead of either categories.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Measure your booze, eye your creamer (get it to the color coffee you like it to be)
My Tips:
- Flavored vodkas are very similar - don't be fooled by high cost vodka.
- Don't be a slave to a recipe - go by taste!

BalZout Electronics Standard Mounts
Some of the toughest mounts money can buy - the BalZout Electronics Mounts are 100% made in the USA. The sturdy, connecting arms are made from cnc-machined, anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum, and the balls that make the mounts work, as well as, the threaded studs are made from stainless steel. The holes in the knobs also allow you to use the end of whatever is handy to lock them down. That means you don't have to stop half way to your next hot spot and reposition your graph to keep it from beating a hole in your deck or knocking the gel coat off the counsel. The red and blue mounts feature a powder coat finish, while the black is anodized aluminum finish. Rest assured the BalZout Electronics Mounts are strong enough to stand up to the abuse, the knobs are made in Missouri, the studs are made in New York, and BalZout makes the rest.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I don't understand the negative reviews. Before these mounts came out, I used the best RAM mounts available for three Humminbird 1199 units. No matter how tight you make that ball, the units would eventually move around from running over rough water and wind pressure. Have you ever tried to re-position your GPS screen racing on the rough water while trying to steer the boat and watch where you're going ?The Balzout Mounts are rock solid, look great and have more than enough adjustment to position the screen where you want it. Take the time to plan the location and try different locking positions to get it just right before you drill holes. Strength, Price and Durability....there is no equal.
From: Jeff: Osage Beach, MO 12/1/16
From: Jeff: KY 1/31/16
Comments: Had my Humminbird 1197 on a large RAM mount for a couple of years, but had trouble tightening the ball in cold weather, so some sagging in rough water. Bought the largest BalZout and ran it for a year. Finally hated it enough to go back to the RAM. First, you can't adjust the BalZout to the exact position you want it because of the detents in the joints, so you just have to live with "vicinity". Secondly, the mount is so rigid that all the pounding is transferred directly to the electronics unit. Humminbird makes them pretty tough, but not THAT tough.
From: Herman: Tallahassee, FL 5/5/15
Comments: Purchased a red one for console and love it. Quality, appearance and rigidity is A+.
From: Jon: OH 4/16/15
Comments: Never buy a RAM mount again! I have a Humminbird 1198 anchored to the right side of the gunwale and extended that big unit in front of my eyes while driving. It doesn't budge! Try that with your RAM mount for more than a month? These mounts are really under-advertised so allow me to market for them. Put a large unit of your choice at 90 degree angle with both mounts; this one vs. RAM and take off across your favorite busy waterway. I would GO-PRO it but I threw all my Ram mounts away too soon!
From: Ash: Huntingdon, PA 3/17/15
Comments: I bought one of these for a Humminbird 899ci. I was not dissapointed. This is by far the best depthfinder mount on the market. A Ram mount looks like a toy compared to this thing. If you want the best buy this.
From: John: Lynch, KY 2/4/15
Comments: I recently purchased this unit to mount my HDS9 Touch. It is well built and rock soild. It holds the unit securely and stationary. Great mount, and so far superior to any other i have seen.
From: Michael: Ripley, TN 9/25/14
Comments: These things are great, quality aluminum, with ball twist bases. Put a dab of grease on the bases if you plan on moving them around. But they are solid as a rock. Mine holds my 10in tablet, the big waterproof case and the gimbal mount for it. No issues. Im a mechanic so I did go beyond the usual mounting procedure, and she aint going nowhere. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for in this life. Great product for your units, if Tackle Warehouse would carry the small mounts again I would buy one for my humminbird 798. If your 998, 1198, or big hds units are mounted near the railing of your boat, you need these mounts to ensure your big money unit is staying put!
From: Jake: Dover, DE 8/12/14
Comments: I bought two of these and I guess I got one of the bad ones. Both are holding HDS 10s. One is perfectly flawless. The other, a complete POS. In less than one month the color started fading and the knobs loosen constantly and will not stay in place. That is one month time, not sitting in the sun. My boat is garage stored. As I said one is flawless and one is worthless. Need to check on some warranty work
From: Matt: TN 6/18/14
Comments: I cannot tell you how great these things are, we recently installed a HDS 10 on the console of our boat and this thing is solid as a rock. They could charge 3 or 4 hundred dollars for these things and I would buy them again in a heartbeat, after having two other (small) ram mounts break under the minimal weight of a HDS 5 I knew I didn't want a $3000 unit being held above the water by a slightly beefed up version of the same technology (which seems to lose all structural integrity when the weather dips below about 20 degrees). After having it on the boat for a couple months I can say without a doubt that if your graph IS somehow jarred loose from it's original position with this mount, than you are going to have much bigger problems than losing a graph. Bottom line when the ram mounts on my front graphs finally give way (which shouldn't be to long now) I'll be purchasing a couple more of these to go up front and never have to adjust them after going over 2 foot rollers again.
From: Jake: SC 3/18/14
Comments: when the new boat comes in in a week I will put the two on I purchased (have rams on current boat). Look really good and well built. Hopefully the stand up to st. Clair and Erie better than the POS ram mounts... Looks like they are going to be a must have for the GL fishing crowd.
From: CJ
Comments: Just installed them on my Basscat. I love them no more having to adjusting units. I have a HDS 12 and HDS 10 they work perfect!!!
From: Tyler: AL
Comments: I have bought the large mount balzout and love it i had other mounts and nothing compares to the balzout.
From: Justin: Heber springs ar
Comments: Put a BALZOUT on my boat finally someone made a quality mount for my $2k graph no more bouncing off the console while running anymore like my ram mount. Which I threw in the trash. Prob could of sold it but didn't want to be liable for someone else's graph to hit the console. You get what you pay for should of known better than going cheap on a ram. Lesson learned don't make the same mistake as me.
From: Jesse: Paris, MO
Comments: Mounted Elite-7HDI on the bow with large mount. Set it and forget it does not move even under the roughest conditions. No more Ram Mounts for me.
From: Bill: Spartanburg, SC
Comments: fyi if your existing unit is mounted on the side of your counsel it can be tough to get the balzout mount level. I had to create a shim to get the base level. for sure ten times as sturdy as other mounts on the market but only a quarter of the position options
From: Brian: Wauconda, IL
Comments: Best Mount made, No more having to adjust mount when running in ruff water. Unit stay exactly where you put it no matter how ruff of water.
From: Ryan: St. Charles, MO

The Gorgs' Garden
this wiki
The Gorgs' Garden is located behind the decaying castle that is the home of the three Gorgs. This is where Junior Gorg grows his radishes and other giant vegetables. Fraggles must sneak into the Garden in order to obtain food (this is Mokey's job), and to consult with Marjory the Trash Heap. Doozers mine Junior's radishes from underneath the Garden and turn them into Doozer Sticks.
From the Fraggles' perspective, the Gorgs' Garden was discovered by young Traveling Matt during a mushroom blight, although the Doozers had already been mining radishes for years.
Notable features of the Gorgs' Garden include the following:
- Geraldine, Junior's largest radish and best friend
- A Nirvana Tree
- Fraggle Rock, called "Kissing Rock" by the Gorgs
- A well which leads down to the Fraggle Pond
- The Gorgs' Trash Heap, also the Fraggles' oracle
- A nest that is home to the Mama Tree Creature and Papa Tree Creature
- A private area near the garden where Mokey occasionally relaxes at
The animated Fraggle Rock also featured a shack in The Great Radish Round Up where Ma Gorg and Pa Gorg had Junior Gorg store the harvested radishes when they wanted to replace them with Banoony Berries to keep the Fraggles away.

Cover of Play On
Carrie Underwood is coming to the Mobile Civic Center October 23, as part of her "Play On" tour. Pretty awesome, right? But what does that have to do with Girl Scouts?
Well...Carrie Underwood would like for Girl Scouts to attend her concert! We have a limited number of tickets, and you can get them for only $2 per ticket.
Who is eligible to receive tickets? Any registered Girl Scout! You can purchase three tickets per family. All you need is one registered Girl Scout (ages 5-18), and your family can purchase up to three tickets.
How do you get them? It's easy! We're doing this on a first-come, first-served basis by date and time each e-mail is received. So, be sure to register quickly. Simply e-mail the Event Registration Form to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll let you know if we have tickets for you.
After that, we will let you know when we have the tickets available for pick up. The concert is nine days away, so there won't be enough time to mail out any tickets. Tickets will be available for pick up (once we receive them) at the Mobile and Montgomery Service Centers between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Tickets will not be available for pick up on the day of the concert, so be sure you can come by one of the offices before that time.
We will keep a waiting list for any tickets that don't get picked up by noon on Friday, Oct. 22.
We knew Carrie is an American Idol, but we think she's a Girl Scout Idol, too!


text: is it still a problem with the server or something? or is it just me? It was fine before the change but not since. I can get on the 'user CP' now, and I have made sure the time is for US, Eastern time, but the time that is shown for what my latest postings are, and the time for my last visit to the forums are way off. Any suggestions? Thanks. For instance, I was on around maybe 10am, we'll say, and it says that I last visited today at 7:23PM. the time on my computer is correct, btw.

Skip to comments.The Incredible Shrinking President [Mark Steyn]
Posted on 10/26/2012 6:31:36 PM PDT by Sherman LoganEdited on 10/26/2012 7:43:11 PM PDT by Sidebar Moderator. [history]
Two videos distill the meaning of a campaign, and a presidency.
Were going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video, said Hillary Clinton. No, not the person who made the video saying that voting for Barack Obama is like losing your virginity to a really cool guy. Ill get to that in a moment. But Secretary Clinton was talking about the fellow who made the supposedly Islamophobic video that supposedly set off the sacking of the Benghazi consulate. And, indeed, she did have that person arrested. By happy coincidence, his bail hearing has been set for three days after the election, by which time he will have served his purpose. These two videos the Islamophobic one and the Obamosexual one bookend the remarkable but wholly deserved collapse of the presidents reelection campaign.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
The Benghazi coverup just may be breaking at the exact best possible time to sink The Lightbringer.
The entire Food Stamp Administration is corrupt to the core. I seriously doubt that there is a single person in the administration with any character, honor, integrity, honesty, etc. The entire administration reminds me of those creatures that reside on the bottom of the ocean waiting greedily to feed on whale sh!t.
His description of the behavior of Obama and Biden at the funeral for the four heroes:
But the near-parodic locker-room coarseness is grotesque both in its inaptness and in its lack of basic human feeling for a bereaved family forced to grieve in public and as crowd-scene extras to the political bigshot. Just about the only formal responsibility a vice president has is to attend funerals without embarrassing his country. And this preening buffoon of pseudo-blue-collar faux-machismo couldnt even manage that.
Øbama should be tried and found guilty of TREASON and receive the Constitutionally prescribed punishment.
Put some ice on that Barry. I wonder if the one even knew what was going on or did Valerie Jarrett tuck him in saying "Don't worry I got This"
"The Benghazi coverup just may be breaking at the exact best possible time to sink The Lightbringer."
Just personally, of course, I never underestimate the power of a novena; and there is a massive one going on right now.
My late father's generation would already be on the DC mall and White House lawn with pitchforks, tar & feathers and assorted other equipment, if you get my drift...
I could not agree more! The time has come to remove the narcissist in chief!
I am not so sure of that. They elected Roosvelt four times.
It is not so much the temper of the people, it is what they know, and what they know that is not so.
A great number of people in the U.S.A. Know a lot that is not so.
Steyn eviscerates!
He's a big picture guy who can tie it all together and turn a phrase like no one else!
It makes me unhappy knowing that such rotten people exist.
It was Roosevelt or communism/fascism, in many minds. Many thought that "capitalism" had failed them. They were wrong, of course, but at least they didn't go the way of Stalin or Hitler.
Under similar circumstances, if I had a child in a casket, and Joe Biden asked Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls? I would have been wrestled to the ground by the Secret Service, after trying to beat the s#!t out of Biden, and been carted off to federal prison.
The current so-called leaders of the USA are even worse than Caligula ever was for Rome. They make me sick, and they besmirch the memory of every American who shed their blood and lives for this country.
Obama concerning the elimination of Al Qaeda as a threat: Mission accomplished.
The media laughed at Bush. They aren't laughing now.
>>The Benghazi coverup just may be breaking at the exact best possible time to sink The Lightbringer.
>Just personally, of course, I never underestimate the power of a novena; and there is a massive one going on right now.
This is the perfect storm. Romney is covering the economy and letting the details leak to the press without any comment. If pressed, he can simply refer to the harsh words he stated at the beginning and look prophetic. Folks, if this blows up to epic proportions, we might win CA.
Same here.
If able to check my anger, I'd have asked "Did you always have a brain the size of a BB?"
From the beginning the MSM framed Romney as the emcumbant and let Obama play the part off the clever pragmatist. This what happens when a community activist becomes a rebel without a cause. Now, Romney has embraced the image he was framed with, he owns it. And, Obama appears desperate and even flailing.
No they didn't. But they did elect an administration with a ton of commies, including at least one that worked in the FDR inner circle. Read, The Haunted Wood for starters.
"There's a broader lesson to be learned here," Mr. Obama told "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft at the White House. "And I — you know, Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. And as president, one of the things I've learned is you can't do that. That, you know, it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you've thought through the ramifications before you make 'em."
Obama has always and only cared about Obama. This is just the most deadly result to date.
Oh, from your keys to God's ears. That would be icing.
If you welcome mutts, you shouldn't whine when the fleas come along for free. Welcome a politician to a funeral, and grin through it as he lifts his leg and urinated on your beloved.
Actually, Fast and Furious has killed (and still kills) lots more people, but I get where you're coming from.
It's true, though: if you're going to lose your virginity, you'll want to do it with a big prick. And on that score, Obama is your man.
Like his kneejerk reaction to the Massachusetts police/Harvard professor dustup?
Maybe he would have already learned that lesson if Barack Obama had had an ounce of experience before taking office.
Mark Steyn is a master wordsmith, and one of the most perceptive foreign observers of the American scene since Alexis de Tocqueville.
Maybe he would have already learned that lesson if Barack Obama had had an ounce of experience before taking office.
Someone like 0bama would have been even more dangerous had he had some experience.
0bama is calculating and a manipulator.
Everything is a means to an end. Friends.co-workers, and even family do not matter as much as his own power.
All 0bama cares about is himself.
I'm surprised no one has analyzed Biden's near-pathic need to portray himself as a tough guy. He is always shooting his mouth off about how tough a 'fighter' he is. He's a wimp who's lived inside the padded glove of government jobs his entire life.
If I'd been the father of the soldier slain in Libya and the VP had said that to me, I'd be in jail for decking him. It's not a football game and a daring play they were discussing. It was the slaughter of soldier who'd been hung out to dry by the administration of the guy making the coarse comment.
Throw a hard hat and sleeveless shirt on him and he'd fit right in with the aging Village People.
Repeat: Devastating
Why was this changed to an excerpt?
The article was posted from NRO, which AFAIK does not have a policy requiring such.
So many good pull quotes I don't know where to begin.
Thanks for posting.
Not to rain on your hope and dreams....that is as likely to happen as the moon spinning off it's orbit into outer space...
You are my favorite author, when are you going to come out with something new? Don't use that old excuse about rumors of your death NOT being exaggerated this time, if dead people can vote they can certainly write books.
You are spot on about this,"A great number of people in the U.S.A. Know a lot that is not so." It is even worse though, a great many Americans know a lot of things that could not even POSSIBLY be so. It is one thing to take fiction seriously but Americans are now taking fantasy seriously. I suspect I have done so on occasions myself but I am trying with all due diligence to never do so again.
>>Not to rain on your hope and dreams....that is as likely to happen as the moon spinning off it's orbit into outer space...
I would think so too, except that one poll showed Obama at 53% in CA. That means a 10-15% drop in Dem turnout with conservative districts voting strongly for Romney might inch it out. The polls are not talking about turnout because that is going to be Obama's Achilles Heel.
Actually, no. Stevens was running guns, ManPADS, and other light infantry weapons from Libya, through Turkey, and into Syria, where a LOT more people have died than in Fast & Furious.
That's the big story here, because not only was Zero trying to keep the meme alive that "Al Quaida is dead; Libya is progressing toward being a normal country," he was trying to keep the news from coming out that he is quite deliberately keeping AQ alive and kicking, as they surround Israel with jihadis armed to the teeth with American weapons.
Voting for this rat the first time can perhaps be forgiven by foolishness and being caught up in the passing immature and blind passions of the moment. Voting for him the second time can be forgiven by nothing.
If four years of hands on observation hasn't demonstrated that awful mistake to his dullard followers, nothing can. These can only be described as people who either will blindly march into the gulags or happily march others into them.
Frankly, I really, really want a permanent divorce from these scum sucking idiots.
Arming rebels fighting Assad, who is Iran's closest ally, is a defensible policy, regardless of who those rebels are.
We are the people, after all, who allied ourselves with the USSR to fight a greater evil.
Not saying it's the right policy, just that there are legitimate arguments for it.
I just get more nauseated and horrified every day.
Until one learns who the rebels are.
Not saying its the right policy, just that there are legitimate arguments for it.
Understood, until the second question is asked.
Me too.
Apples and oranges and a gross over-simplification of an intensely complex global alignment.
If it were nothing but Stalin v Hitler with no other countries involved, and we joined Stalin in the fight then your WW2 analogy might make sense but that is nowhere near the case.
But, this is Stalin v Hitler with no other nations involved. Stand back, let them duke it out with hopefully significant reduction in forces on both sides, then let the dust settle and do our best with what's left.

We are the people who were manipulated by Stalin's moles to provoke Japan into attacking us instead of the USSR, which would have made more sense for Japan at the time, and might have saved the world 50 years of communism.
Our alliance with Stalin benefited only him (and eventually, Mao.) All by design, and not at all that of American patriots.

THE QUESTIONS Hello, how old are you ? (origin)How long have you been working on the BUGGY ROLLIN ?Can you live from that ?How fast are you ?IS IT DAN-GEROUS ? What have been your best sensation ? Are the suit availabe for sale ?What do you do when you do not pilot a BUGGY ROLLIN suit ? Where do you live ?How Much costs a BUGGY ROLLIN suit ? How long to build a suit ?How many wheel you uses in a season ?Your crazyest dream ?Where did you bought your bigfoot bear jumper ?When will you stop ? Some morning to you wake up and think that you are crazy ?When will you make baby buggy rollin ?Why not simply skating ?What about police ? see you next time on wheel ?
All tecnical worlds, positions name, and key words are on this link.
Hello, how old are you ?- I was born in 1970, so I have 40 years(But it changes everything on June first) at Aix les BainsSavoy from a father who was cheese maker, ski jumper and hanglider.he took us to Ski every Sunday (the horror). He also acted in theatre.His name is Paul Blondeau.And a mother who paints her memories ofwords and its landscape with pastels. She collectspurebred dogs (papillons) and children: Her name is Micheline Blondeau.Among children, there is a film and TV decorator(Former ski instructor and consultant in Feng Shui): Francois;a famous photographer : Michael, a painter-great sculptor who died, he name was REMI, apsychomotor restlessness, named Yolande, aclimbing and ski instructor who has invented a scooterCarving (nano) is the most beautiful : Claude, and myself.
There is also plenty of nieces andnephews (including Tom the flash master of this site )......
How long have you been working on the BUGGY ROLLIN ?
- Officially, since 1995, the date of the patentbut it was a year I was working on aconfidentially. It was aThesis of DSAA (diplom superieur d art applique)I made a great design school in Paris : Olivier de Serres for one year, I studied the "SYSTEMS THAT BRING INEVIDENCE OF THE FEELINGS OF MOVEMENTCENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE HUMAN BODY BY REPORTITS POINTS OF SUPPORT IN THE PURPOSE OF MOVEIN SPACE. "FEEL, BODY BALANCE,MOTION. It lasted nine months (to give birth!)Six months of research, synthesis and one monthcreativity, two months of implementation (1995).The research was designed to accumulate a maximumdata. I studied sociology ordeal risky behavior, teeny behaviours,body in society, the phenomenon of skateboarding.The human body: the vestibular salience of thevisual system (Coriolis), neuro-anatomy (howsensations of movement, proprioceptive information,circulate, and how they are processed), how weperceives space, ballistics. That is how to perceives the movement.I visited national athletes in order to get the most acurate answers aspossible.The purpose of these interviews was to seeklinks between mechanisms of acceleration (the mechanicalthis is physics, it is calculated), sensations, and play engine ; the "fun.These interviews allowed me to approach the abovestrong personalities who work hard on their bodiesand have a great vitality. It always impresses me see the hard long patient and painfull work on the body seeking for perfection.I also studied the history of design and I analyzed theforgotten inventions around the bicycle, to understandhow creation can walk or be forgotten.It lasted six months during which I forced myself to NOT draw anything.Then it was on the creative explosion during a month.I explored what bounces, floats, flies, rolls, cushions.I played with the posture of skiing, the axes of rotation of the body.I varied the scale of objects (playgrounds, fixed to the body or accessories).I realised that there were a huge void in existing devices.I observed in my results there were bundles Creation converging.Indeed, there was a multitude of axes of rotationhuman body and a quantity of postures Unused, I suggested a device that ran on two, three, four (or more) wheels by rotate the device on itself, and then I had a small sketch of a little woman with a flat bellysomething that rolls with the end of the hands and wheelsfoot stilts with wheels (here is it ! )... I say we could"ROLLING IN ALL THE POSITIONS." voila THAT S THE CONCEPT !
Then, I had only two month to make theory into reality. I identified the location of the wheels by comparing the humain bodyto a mechanical system kinematics, providing a virtual envelope of wheel. I choose the number of wheel by pointing their efforts and their need for stability. I tried to recycle the existingproducts I aimed a Minimum object, and I tinkered in my garage.AND HOP! its ROlls ! i wnet to the bath avenue in lausanne and made it in one shot. The first time I thought that I was notgoing to be able to align the finish gate!
Back to questions Can you live from that ?- Normally yes, every year I tell myself that I would millionaire next year. When I made the first prototype, I realized that the idea was (fine) patentable. So I filed the patent and is the it began. To enhance my patent to sell it one day, I am told that my product would be known. So I made a video that journalist loved.
They did a pro remake and then I jumped from a magazine to a TV , and from TV to next magazine to next TV ... and I made a quickBUGGY ROLLIN world tour. It allowed me to live and learn the show biz ness that I love. It was sufficient to pay for my materials.With time I learned that I was the only one who can really move this project forward, and I have no choice if I want to be happy. If i bring to reality all what I have in my head and I am not sure that one life is enough ... no matter what I do with the resources I have, i go forward.Back to questions How fast are you ?-I Reach 100km / h at the world championships in belluno descent in 2002. It was magical. I was the fastest of all.110 on a secret ex east germain trainning track in 2004.116 in 2008. I hope to go even faster each year. i upgrade my equipment constantly andI try new "choreography" to bealways more effective.
The armor provides a variety of sensations. All its data must be processed by the brain ontime to pilot. If the data are faster than your ability to understand you can not react to the situation in time, and you will go to the disaster. You will be blasted over the track as we spread soft butter on crunchy bread. if you have the chance to slip on a surface you gonna be sanded like sandpaper. And if you encounter an obsatacle you will be broke like a fly on a swatter. Dan-ger comes from the armor feeling like a shell. Believe to be in the shelter of everything makes to take too many risks. If you want to stay alive you must think without the armor.
With a multi wheel system like the buggy rollin, there are mostly solution to get rid of dan-gerous situation.choosing wich wheels drives, and at last choosing how to get crash with limitating damages.
One more time staying alive mean to know the dan-gers be self responsible and AVOID hazardous situation. Back to questions
What have been your best sensation ?- There are many amazing experiences with Buggy Rollin '. Whenever we try something new, there is a SuperSense.For example STARWARS (head first downhill on the back) night is a mystical experience.In Paris, the festival freeskate montmartre, there was a large table. I remember, I flew down flat on top oftable. I had the impression of gliding in the open mound in above the module. In the slope I was still in the air.It was magical. Just like Superman. i landed just in the transition with soil. It was a big compression but not violent.
Now by upgrading the suit it is possible to get into positoins with even more precision amd less risk.It is enormous !riding together is also a big happyness as it was shown in YESMAN
Back to questions
Are the suit availabe for sale ?- i sold a few prototype to friends. And i did not start the mass production yet. This need a LOT of money that i do not have by now, The suit have been upraded in order to fit to beginner users and must be redesigned to fit ot mass production. Our wish is to come on the market as soon as possible. when we start to produce it will need 6 month to get on the market. We will sell the suits on line first to satisfy the demands we get every day.
The project goes also into fiction story, comics, gameplay, films, playgrounds, schools, fashion, music, and more BUGGY ROLLIN IS BIG !

House candidates' views on immigration
We now have three Republican candidates vying for the seat of retiring Rep. John Campbell, with at least one more in the wings. But if you're looking for a variety of positions on immigration reform, you'll have to look elsewhere.
State Sen. Mimi Walters, retired Marine Col. Greg Raths and investor Pat Maciariello agree that the "dreamers" - children brought into the country illegally by their parents - should be allowed to remain here.
But none is ready to support an immediate plan to allow the rest of those in the country illegally to have legal status.
Walters believes there should be no change to deportation policy for others in the country until border security is improved, according to her consultant Dave Gilliard. Once border security is improved, Walters would be prepared to support a guest worker program and a provision for legal status - but not citizenship - for those now in the country without documents.
Raths went a little further than the other two, volunteering that dreamers should be given legal residency and a path to citizenship. But he said that before any new legislation is considered to address others in the country illegally, the U.S. needs to crack down on those with expired visas, deport criminals in the country without documents, and secure the borders.
"If you do it piecemeal, I think that's the best approach," he said.
He said he is "inclined" to eventually support legal status for most of those in the country without documents, but remains undecided on whether that should include a path to citizenship.
Maciariello, the most recent entry, would like to immediately increase visas for skilled laborers and agricultural workers, and to immediately tighten border security.
Like the GOP-leaning Lincoln Club of which is a vice president, Maciariello has no position on what to do with non-dreamers in the country illegally at this time, but says eventually most should be legalized.
"I don't think it's feasible to kick 11 million people out of the country," he said. "At some point, we need to find a way to make those people legal."
County Supervisor John Moorlach said he expects to join the Republican field in October. He said he's still developing a position on the dreamers and still developing his preferred timing sequence of increasing enforcement and addressing status of those in the country illegally.
"I'm appreciative of some kind of process to try to grant citizenship," said Moorlach, himself an immigrant from the Netherlands.
"I'm still frustrated that we have laws on the books that aren't being enforced. But I'm also aware that we have labor issues that need to be addressed."
