Like it...not love it
"These sandals are good for daily use- not too fancy. The only drawback wuld be the metal ring on top. It cuts into your foot if you slip them on too tight. It could be me- I have a tendency of pushing my feet into the sandal (esp these models which have no support straps) but when I do that the ring starts cutting into my foot."

The EU Competition Law Fining System: A Reassessment
Damien Geradin
Tilburg Law & Economics Center (TILEC); University College London - Faculty of Laws
October 3, 2011
TILEC Discussion Paper No. 2011-052
The objectives of this paper are to: (i) describe the fining policy of the European Commission for breach of EU competition rules; (ii) assess this policy in light of the criticisms that have been made by academics, practitioners and other stakeholders; and (iii) to the extent these criticisms are justified, make concrete proposals to improve the Commission's fining policy.
This discussion paper does not suggest that undertakings that have breached EU competition rules should get off the hook lightly. Sanctions should be part of all legal regimes and this is also true for competition law. Because of the severe harm that can be created by competition law infringements, sanctions for such infringements must be sufficiently strict to ensure deterrence. Yet, it is questionable whether the imposition of increasingly high corporate fines is the most effective way to improve compliance with EU competition law. Against this background, the proposals made in this discussion paper seek to improve the efficiency and fairness of the sanctions imposed in case of infringement, and ensure that they are made at the least cost to society. Some of these proposals are easier to implement than others, and it is not suggested that all proposals should be implemented at once.

Broan Air Purifiers
How to Select
How to select Air Purifiers
The quality of our indoor air is oftentimes lower than we think it is. Unwanted pollutants in the air can cause diseases that may lead to serious health risks. An air purifier installed in your house, office or other building will help you stay healthy and always enjoy clean and fresh air in the house. Since selecting such a device is not easy, we have prepared the guide that will help you.
To specify which air purifier you are looking for you need to know what type of pollutants it can remove. Here are the most common types of pollutants that can be found in every house:
Particles of harmful substances. Electronic and mechanical air cleaners can help you with particles of unwanted material. HEPA or as they are also called, high efficiency particulate air devices, can help you with such pollutant as well. The technology that HEPA devices use is electrostatic attraction that pulls charged particles to the filter and then captures them. To install such type of air purifier you need to have access to the electric line and that is pretty much all of the requirements.
Gaseous Pollutants are the next type of harmful substance that makes the air in the building hazardous and dangerous for your health. To remove gases and odors from the room, you need to look for an air purifier with gas-phase filters. Such filters are filled with various sorbents that absorb a specific type of gas. The number of gases that any of the devices can remove is limited and oftentimes doesn't exceed two or three. This means that you will have to specify the type of gas that is present in the air and then look for a purifier with a compatible filter.
Along with HEPA and gas-phase, other technologies are used to remove the pollutants from the indoor air. For example, ultraviolet purifiers that use UV light to destroy harmful particles. The purpose of such air purifiers is to dispose of biological pollutants such as allergens, molds, bacteria and viruses. This is why UV air purifiers are used in hospitals, spa centers and health resorts.
Now that you know what type of air purifiers exist, selecting one for your home will be much easier. In order to find the perfect device, specify the type of pollutants that make the air in your house unhealthy. Then look for the device that has the filtering technology that will dispose of such pollutants. There's no need to install all of the existent devices in the house, since the only thing that they will do when working together is make the air even unhealthier.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff writer
The Emery County Historical Society January meeting was held at the Museum of the San Rafael.
Dottie Grimes as president opened the meeting by introducing Pam Jeffs and Tyler Jeffs for some entertainment. Pam Jeffs played the piano while Tyler Jeffs played the harmonica.
Following the entertainment Wade Allinson introduced the guest speaker Bob Leonard and his program titled the Old Spanish Trail and the Discovery of the Fish Lake cut off. Leonard appeared dressed as a mountain man with an old rifle from the 1800s along with a table of early trade goods and items used on the Spanish trail by pioneers. He also had a large map of the Old Spanish Trail and the Fish Lake Cut Off posted on the wall. The photos on his large poster showed the ruts in the ground and the vegetation changes that indicated where the trail went through Utah.
Leonard has been with the Fish Lake National Forest in Richfield for 31 years as their archaeologist. He is a graduate of Colorado State and lives in Marysvale, Utah. He was instrumental in establishing the Fremont State Park. Leonard started his career at Bents Fort, Colo. and he has traveled to both ends of the Old Spanish Trail.
Leonard became interested in archaeology while traveling with his father, who was in the Army. His father took him to every civil war battlefield in the US. When in Germany with the military his father took him to every castle. His father was very interested in the history of these places. Even now when Leonard goes back East, he goes to visit the battle fields his father showed to him as a child. He enjoys finding artifacts and sharing them with the public.
Leonard said, "We have archaic rock art and Fremont rock art in great abundance in the state of Utah. But we don't have petroglyphs from the early exploration period before the 1800s. Wade Allinson recently sent me a rock art picture of two men on horses with broad brimmed hats and standing up in the stirrups. He hasn't told me yet where it is. I have seen rock art from a period that we know very little about. We know more about the Fremont Indians than we know about the early Spanish exploration and we don't know that much about the early Spanish Trail."
Leonard told the group about George Brewerton who traveled East from Los Angeles to Santa Fe with Kit Carson also known as Lt. Christopher Carson in 1848.
Leonard then launched into a narrative from a book written by Lt. George Brewerton of his trip to the U.S. with a party of pioneers under the Command of Carson. The book's title is "California On His Mind, The Easel And Pen Of Pioneer George Douglas Brewerton. From the publication: California History."
The party traveled east with Carson through the Mojave Desert and began a long trek across the Southwest. Brewerton's early sketches of the Southwest are rare. So are sketches of his early travels, which began in 1846. Many of Brewerton's California drawings were swept into the Green River in Utah, along with the artist, on June 3, 1848--his birthday.
In this narrative Leonard speaks as if he were Lt. Brewerton. "I may look like a mountain man, but I was really very well-educated. I graduated from West Point in 1847. My father was the superintendent of West Point, which didn't hurt and immediately upon graduation I was given orders to report to a Naval vessel on Long Island sound, and to sail for San Francisco.
"It took me six months to make the voyage, getting from New York around the Cape of Good Hope, and up to San Francisco. When we arrived in the San Francisco Bay they wouldn't let us off the boat. At that time there were about 200 people living in San Francisco. In the months to come, I would travel the old Spanish Trail in six weeks. I hadn't been on the San Francisco Bay very long, when I got orders to travel south to the city of Angels or Los Angeles. Santa Fe had been established 181 years before Los Angeles was established.
"I traveled down to Los Angeles, knowing that I was to meet the legendary Kit Carson. In my mind Kit Carson was 6 ft. 4 inches, weighed 240 pounds and could eat bears. When I finally met him he was 5 foot 5 inches. He had a voice as soft as a woman, and at first impression was very much of a disappointment. He did know what he was doing though. Kit was very well-organized. He had been over the Old Spanish Trail three times and a couple of times over the Fish Lake Cutoff.
"When Kit Carson got our pack train organized my personal train was six mules and one horse. I will tell you Kit Carson never rode anything but a mule. I never rode anything but a mule. Mules are more intelligent than horses. They have more endurance that horses. They can carry more weight than horses. Their hoofs are so tough that they don't have to be shod. On the downside, they can kick backwards. They kick forwards and they can kick sideways.
"I was riding along one fine day and we really had not yet gotten out of California, we were in the Mojave Desert, I was lagging behind and that was a dangerous thing to do. There were 28 men in the Kit Carson's party 550 animals and that was a small party to be on the old Spanish Trail. Our mission was to get some people back to Santa Fe and Kit Carson had to deliver some military correspondence as it was near the end of the Mexican war. That was basically our mission. When I arrived in Santa Fe my orders were to report for duty in Mississippi. If you can believe that. I got sick and I never got there. In the Mojave Desert I got dumped by my gray mule and in those days we all carried our weapons on our saddle and in our lap. I got dumped off and I still had the rifle and I cocked it, I took aim at that gray rear end heading off into the sunset. I almost pulled the trigger when I realized a live mule was worth a lot more than a dead mule.
"Let me tell you what they were trading. The pack train had no wagons. The pack train originated in Santa Fe going west carrying woolen goods, ponchos and blankets on mules and when they arrived in Los Angeles they would trade for mules and horses. You could get a horse for one blanket, you could get a mule for two or three blankets. These traders carried bales and bales of blankets and ponchos.
"The people that traveled the old Spanish Trail were merchants. They would take their goods to California. The goods were not exchanged for money. They were exchanged for mules and horses. The biggest caravan on record had 4,525 animals with 300-400 men as herders. The average caravan was made up of 1,000-2,000 animals.
"That is why we're finding the artifacts we're finding in Salina Canyon and the Fish Lake Cut Off. Because of the impact on the environment by so many animals traveling through that area. This is why we can find evidence of their trail 180 years later. The trail in some locations is as much as a half mile wide and it was used for 20 years by tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands animals. Deep ruts can still be seen where the caravans passed.
"On the Fish Lake Cut Off there are usually three or four ditches or ruts where people and animals traveled side by side. These trails are more like 30-100 feet wide. The Fish Lake Cut Off was usually used by smaller caravans as there was grass and water insufficient for a large caravan.
"When Kit Carson left Los Angeles he got behind a small caravan of about 1,000 head of stock and 200-300 hundred men. It took us eight days to get around that caravan. We wanted to get around them because they would have fouled up the water holes, the springs and would have eaten every blade of grass. We wanted to get away from people like that.
"In the diaries of these pioneers, they could ride between 30 and 50 miles a day and they were not shy about complaining about the bad things in their lives. They complained that they were hungry. They complained that they were cold. They complained about anything and everything.
"When they were traveling in the Mojave Desert and because some of the watering holes were 50 miles apart the caravan would start out about 3 p.m. in the afternoon riding all night long to get to that next watering hole before the sun came up. It was often 120 plus degrees during the day in the desert. A big broad brimmed hat was a great summer hat. That kind of hat gave shade and helped keep the sun off of you.
"When we got into Utah the first people we met were Indians and an Indian Chief named Wakara or Chief Walker. He and Brigham Young were the two most powerful people in Utah at that time. Wakara his family and friends set up a camp near a lake across from Parowan. As every caravan was coming through they would flood the creek. (In that area you can sometimes find arrow heads, bullets, knives and some times fire arms.) This was a way for Chief Walker to exact a toll from those that wanted safe passage through his territory. If you didn't pay passage, life was not a happy experience. We paid our fare down there by Parowan and then went on to Fish Lake. We were hungry and there was a Ute Indian that showed up he traded us fish for a couple of charges of gun powder. We noticed that the fish had been taken with an arrow head. Looking around we found twin creeks down where Fish Lake Lodge is now. We found thousands of fish spawning. We waded in and started throwing out fish by hand. We had fish chowder. We were well fed. There was grass in the area especially by Johnson Valley. That was why the Fish Lake Cut Off was nice for the smaller groups. After the Mojave Desert the Fish Lake area had relatively cool temperatures. You had fish, you had grass and you had water. The big caravans went farther North through Salina Canyon," said Leonard.
Speaking for myself as Bob Leonard, what we have found recently is phenomenal. "We have used satellite images. We have found cairns, we found one cairn at the edge of the Antelope Mountains that had fallen over, it was made of 100 plus pound rocks. The cairn was more than 12 feet long lying on the ground. It must have been at least 7 feet tall when it was standing. The cairn was to guide people coming through the valley, that they were to cross through this pass.
"We even found a St. Anthony Spanish Cross carved into a rock. The cross was shown to us by a heavy equipment operator. The cross was to the side of and a foot off of an existing road. The cross is an indicator of where the trail splits. The Fish Lake Cut Off goes southeast and the Old Spanish Trail goes northeast one half mile farther on. We spent two years looking for the Old Spanish Trail using satellite images and field surveys using GPS. We are 90 percent certain now that what we found is the Old Spanish Trail and the Fish Lake Cut Off.
"Before this I thought the Trail was gone and the trail was under Interstate 70 or had been taken by development. Then a field archaeologist working for the BLM wanted to show me where the Fish Lake Cut Off started and show me what had been found. My reaction was, after viewing the area, for years I have been walking over things like this. Then it became a seven day a week obsession with me, looking for and mapping that trail. Finding the Old Spanish Trail and the Fish Lake Cut Off is a nice way to end an archaeologists career," said Leonard.
The next historical society meeting is on Feb. 24 at 6:30 p.m. and will feature Tom McCourt, author and columnist.

Heavy/Light Routine
One of the most talked about topics in bodybuilding is "Should I train light or should I train heavy?" There are just as many advocates of the heavy school of training as there are of the light. Mike Mentzer trains heavy and Serge Nubret trains light, yet both have world class physiques.
Recent scientific research regarding muscle fibers reveals that there are actually two different types, red fibers (or slow twitch), and white fibers (or fast twitch). It would appear that to develop a muscle to its fullest potential both kinds of fibers must be stimulated. The research indicates that the slow twitch fibers respond to heavy training, and the fast twitch require lighter training. So, it would seem that you have to train both heavy and light to develop your muscles to their fullest potential.
Long before research into fast and slow twitch fibers, Reg Park used and recommended the use of heavy and light workloads in training. During that era, his physique was considered one of the best of all time, and even today he is considered highly.
Reg often wrote workout schedules incorporating his own system of light and heavy training, and it is from his wisdom that we recommend the following routine as our first Heavy and Light workout.
First Heavy and Light Routine
Train four days per week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
On Mondays and Fridays do your chest, shoulders, triceps and forearms (push and grip) as follows:
Chest -
1) Bench Press (Heavy) 5 sets of 6 reps.
2) Dumbbell Flyes (Light) 4 x 12.
Shoulders -
1) Standing Press Behind Neck 5 sets of 6.
2) Seated Dumbbell Lateral Raise 4 x 12.
Triceps -
1) Lying Triceps Extension (Heavy) 5 x 6.
2) Triceps Pressdown (Light) 4 x 12.
Forearms -
1) Reverse Curl (Heavy) 5 x 6.
2) Wrist Curl (Light) 4 x 12.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays train your thighs, calves, back and biceps (squat and pull) as follows:
Thighs -
1) Parallel Squat (Heavy) 5 x 6 reps.
2) Leg Extension (Light) 4 x 12.
1) Standing Calf Raise (Heavy) 5 sets of 12.
2) Toe Press (Light) 5 x 12.
1) Bentover Barbell Row (Heavy) 5 x 6.
2) Front Chins (Light) 4 x 12.
1) Barbell Curl (Heavy) 5 x 6.
2) Dumbbell Concentration Curl (Light) 4 x 12.
How To Get The Best Out Of Light And Heavy
1) The Heavy Part
With the exception of calf training, all body parts start out heavy. The exercises are done for 5 sets of 6 reps each and the following system should be used:
Do your 1st set of 6 with about 50% of your best 6 rep poundage. A warmup set.
2nd set of 6 with about 80% or your best 6 rep poundage. A second warmup.
For your 3rd set pile on enough weight so you can just get 6 reps. If you can do more, do them.
Rest about 2 or 3 minutes, and try to get another 6 reps with the same weight on your 4th set.
Rest another 2 or 3 minutes, then try for another 6 reps with the same weight.
It may not be possible to get a full 6 reps on all three heavy sets, but keep pushing. As soon as you can get 6 good reps on all 3 heavy sets, increase the weight by 5 lbs next workout.
2) The Light Part
Once again, with the exception of calf training, each part is to be done for 4 sets of 12 reps as follows:
Go all out to get 12 reps on your 1st set.
Rest only 40 seconds, then do another set of 12 reps with about 5-10 lbs less weight.
Do another 2 sets, reducing the weight each time, and resting no more than 40 seconds.
The objective of this routine is to fully stimulate the deep muscle fibers with the very heavy sets, then completely pump and burn the fibers with the lighter, faster sets.
Stay with this routine for about 8 weeks.
Second Heavy and Light Routine
The other system of heavy and light training is a more recent one, and its origins would indicate a lot of influence from the teachings of Vince Gironda. Unlike the first method, this heavy and light approach recommends that a light set immediately follow a heavy set of the SAME EXERCISE.
In other words, do a heavy set of squats for 6 reps, then immediately follow it with another squat set of 10 reps with a much lighter weight. The theory behind this system is that to stimulate all aspects of a muscle, you must first of all hit it with as much heavy stimulation as you can for low reps, and then immediately pump it very,very hard with a lighter set of the same exercise.
Train four days a week as before, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
On Mondays and Fridays train Legs, Chest and Back:
Thighs -
1) Leg Extension 6 reps heavy -> 10 reps light, 3 sets.
2) Parallel Squat 6 reps heavy -> 10 reps light, 3 sets.
Calves -
1) Standing Calf Raise 10 reps heavy -> 10 reps light, 3 sets.
2) Seated Calf Raise 10 reps heavy -> 10 reps light, 3 sets.
Chest -
1) Dumbbell Fly 6 reps heavy -> 10 reps light, 3 sets.
2) Bench Press, same as above.
Back -
1) Front Chin, same as above.
2) Bentover Barbell Row, same as above.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays train Shoulders and Arms:
Shoulders -
1) Side Laterals,6 reps heavy -> 10 reps light.
2) Standing Press Behind Neck, same as above.
Biceps -
1) Dumbbell Concentration Curl - same as above.
2) Barbell Curl - same as above.
Triceps -
1) Pressdown, same as above.
2) Lying Extension, same as above.
Forearms -
1) Wrist Curl, same as above.
2) Reverse Curl, same as above.
How To Get The Best Out Of Light And Heavy (Second Method)
As with the first approach, you must constantly strive to handle more and more weight on your exercises. With the exception of calves, perform the exercises like this:
Do a nice slow warmup set of 10 reps on your first exercise, then rest for 60 seconds.
Now, pile on enough weight so that you can just manage to get 6 reps in fairly good style. These reps need not be too strict, and some men even do 'half reps' on this first set in order to handle more weight.
As soon as you can't do any more reps, reduce the weight so that you can immediately do another 8-10 reps on the same exercise. Having the weights already set up, if possible, is a very efficient way of doing this.
After resting about 60 seconds, do another heavy -> light set.
Rest another 60 seconds and do a final set.
After 3 sets like this your muscles should be exhausted.
How to Reduce the Poundages Correctly
It is impossible to tell you exactly how much weight to take off for your light sets. Some lifters have tremendous recovery abilities and can continue the exercise with only a 10% reduction in weight. Others reduce by 25% and some even more.
The weight should not be too light or you will not stimulate the muscle fibers enough, and if it is too heavy you'll find yourself working on your nerve.

I really like this routine and want to start it, but I want to make a few modfications.
1. Can I do deadlifts instead of squats on 1st lower body day?
2. Can I swap shoulders with back, because after benching my shoulders are fatigued.
Thanks Steve

Tries from Fetu'u Vainikolo and Mike McCarthy helped Connacht to a 26-13 Pro12 win over Edinburgh at the Sportsground on Friday.
Tries from Fetu'u Vainikolo and Mike McCarthy helped Connacht to a 26-13 Pro12 win over Edinburgh at the Sportsground in Galway on Friday.
Michael Bradley's return to Galway was an unhappy one as Edinburgh lost to the province he coached for seven years.
Bradley enjoyed a successful spell as director of rugby at the Irish outfit before going on to join Edinburgh in May of last year. His new charges made a bright start but Gregor Hunter was wide with a 14th-minute penalty attempt.
Niall O'Connor was successful with his first shot at goal, getting the scoring underway for Connacht in the 20th minute after Edinburgh were found guilty for being offside.
Connacht then grabbed the only try of the first half with eight minutes to go before the break after an almighty shove by the pack on Edinburgh's put in at the scrum. Scrum-half Frank Murphy reacted quickest when the visitors' back row failed to control possession, and his turnover set up the move which led to Tongan winger Fetu'u Vainikolo's maiden try. O'Connor's trusty boot supplied the extras.
Phil Godman was introduced by Bradley at half-time for the less experienced Hunter and Edinburgh's control improved as a result.
O'Connor's long-range penalty made Edinburgh's task more difficult, but they were gifted a foothold in the game when Gavin Duffy's clearance kick was charged down to let Tim Visser in for his eleventh try of the season.
Tom Brown was yellow-carded before veteran Chris Paterson doubled 14-man Edinburgh's tally with their second try of the night.
Godman, who missed both conversion attempts, struck a penalty to reduce the arrears further and set up a tense finish.
Replacement Matthew Jarvis restored Connacht's lead to six and a clean sweep of Irish wins on the night was sealed by Mike McCarthy's try in the corner, which Jarvis converted.
The scorers:
For Connacht:
Tries: Vainikolo, McCarthy
Cons: O'Connor, Jarvis
Pens: O'Connor 3, Jarvis
For Edinburgh :
Tries: Visser, Paterson

Rex Ryan put on a humble face yesterday and said he would accept his wrist slap from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Apparently bad language toward fans is frowned upon in this establishment even though it was OK to show Ryan dropping an unlimited number of F-bombs during the HBO Hard Knocks series before the 2010 season. Then it was presumed good for HBO and good for the NFL.
Ryan crossed the line when he was video-taped yelling Shut the f--- up, after a fan called out, Hey Rex, Belichick is better than you, as the Jets headed toward the locker room at halftime of their eventual, 37-16, loss to the Patriots on Nov. 13.
It was a mistake and Ive owned up to that mistake, Ryan said during his press conference yesterday at the Jets training facility at Florham Park. Theres no question about it. Im not going to appeal it. Quite honestly, the man has made a decision and his decision is that I should be fined $75,000 then thats the way it is. I just want to get it behind me.
Whats noteworthy is this might be the first time Ryan has apologized for anything he has said since being hired as the Jets head coach before the 2009 season. His mouth has been moving non-stop since then, guaranteeing Super Bowls and vowing to take over New York and the like.
Still, this latest trip to the principals office has caused his players to rally around their coach. In fact, linebacker Bart Scott is of the opinion its the so-called Jets fans who need to shut the (bleep) up (my words not his) when it comes to criticizing Ryan even if the Jets are 5-5 and on the brink of elimination from playoff contention.
Sometimes fans can say things that get under your skin, Scott said. You expect that on the road. Its kind of discouraging when it comes at home, especially when the game is still achievable and you still have an opportunity to win. You dont expect to hear discouraging things from your fans, especially to somebody whos brought success and changed the culture of this team.
I dont think he deserves that level of disrespect because hes laid it all on the line. Hes given this city what they werent getting before and thats an identity, national exposure, a new attitude and a league-wide respect about how we go about business and how hard this team plays for the city.
For you to forget all that and disrespect him or have an obscene statement or something that could enrage him like that because of one half of one game, its almost like someone you take care of and love in your own household, the first time you tell them you cant loan them any money, they hate you.
If that sounds like the Jets are circling the wagons, they are. Needing to win just about all of their remaining six games to be assured of a playoff spot, the Jets are trying to maintain their swagger in the midst of a flood of criticism after back-to-back losses to the Patriots and Tim Tebows Broncos in Denver. They are being viewed as an underachieving team with a coach who is beginning to sound more like a windbag than a winner.
Thats what you sign up for in New York, Scott said. Its not, What have you done for me lately? Its, What have you done for me right now?
Thats the reality of not just New York, but the NFL, where the perception of a season and a coach can change week to week. With the Bills headed for MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Ryan didnt back down on his belief the Jets can still make the playoffs.
Absolutely, we can make a run, he said. We have the kind of team that can get hot and put it together.
At this point, talk is cheap.

The Italian region of Tuscany has taken on legendary status for travelers – it's an absolute must on everyone's list, whether they love wine, food, history, art or the simple beauty of nature. But with so many attractions, it's easy to end up feeling like you're rushing – and still not getting a complete experience. However, savvy travelers know that there are strategies to ensure that you're maximizing your time while minimizing your stress. One of the best of those strategies is to go on an expertly planned Tuscany tour.
A pre-arranged itinerary makes it much simpler to just sit back and enjoy the ride – but don't be fooled into thinking that taking a tour means having an "ordinary" experience. Tours offered by companies like Tauck will show you the greatest sights, but also give you access to exclusive opportunities to explore your destination on a deeper level. Some of those experiences simply aren't available to those doing independent travel – which can also cost as much as 40 percent more than a Tauck tour.
It can be a challenge to pick out the highlights of a Tuscany tour, but these are some of the choicest sights and experiences that generations of travelers have fallen in love with:
* Wine tasting. Some of the world's most sought-after wines are grown in the heart of Tuscany. Oenophiles will delight in the opportunity to sip, sample and build knowledge of the terroir that produces these renowned vintages.
* Seeing Siena. Step back in time in this charming city, where the central piazza remains a glorious example of medieval Italian architecture. In its heyday, Siena was a wealthy and powerful city-state, and that legacy lingers in its rich heritage of painting, sculpture and architecture.
* Marveling at Florence's art. When it comes to viewing legendary works of art during your Tuscany tour, Florence has one of the greatest collections the world has ever known. From Michelangelo's "David" at the Gallerie dell'Accademia to works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Botticelli housed within the Uffizi Gallery, it's easy to find yourself spending hours strolling the galleries. However, to make sense of the context of the work and the world in which it was created, there's nothing that can compete with a presentation by a local art historian, a benefit that Tauck tours builds into their itineraries.
* Indulge in dining. A note to foodies – once you've tasted Italian food during your Tuscany tour, it'll be hard to ever find its equal back home. As you travel through the region, you'll have access to some of the finest, freshest and most delicious food in the world. You'll also be able to learn the flavors and dishes that set Tuscan cuisine apart from the favored foods of the rest of Italy. Be prepared for the dining experience of a lifetime.
Wherever you go while on a tour of Tuscany, you'll be surrounded by thousands of years of history, fascinating culture and a lifestyle that embraces all that is enjoyable about life. If you decide on a Tuscany tour as opposed to going it alone, you'll be free to enjoy each experience fully and create memories that are uniquely your own.

Disappointingly wide!
"This is so annoying- I LOVE the look of these shoes, they're just gorgeous. And exceedingly comfy. But I got them in the mail today and they're huge for a size 8. Really wide, in fact they gap outwards and it makes me look like I'm wearing clown shoes. They're also about two inches too long in the toe area. I'm consistently a size 8 and so this sizing was disappointing. They have to go back, regrettably!"

not bad but not great
"I bought these to wear to work and got lots of compliments on them. However when I wore them outside in the snow the soles seem to gather a LOT of snow in them which made them slippery. I would hate to be running in the snow with them on because there is very little grip on the soles. Inside they are great but outside not so much."

Silicon Valley Code Camp Kids Track 2013
By arungupta on Oct 09, 2013
Silicon Valley Code Camp v8.0 concluded over the weekend. I've attended each code camp since the introduction of Java (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and now this one). The code camp has stuck to its three core principles from the beginning:
- By and for the developer community (no product or marketing pitches ;)
- No charge to attendees
- Never occurs during work hours
The code camp has shown constant growth over its lifespan as is
evident by the trends below:
The conference is definitely outgrowing its existing venue as the registrations had to be closed early for the first time.
It takes a village to organize a volunteer-driven conference and that has indeed been the case for all these years. The conference has been primarily focused on professional developers for all the past years. President Obama said
"If we want America to lead in the 21st century, nothing is more important than giving everyone the best education possible — from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career."
So this year, other than my usual speaking engagements, I also volunteered to coordinate a new track focused on enabling future generation of developers. It was astounding to see kids from elementary school, middle school, and early high schoolers learning programming skills.
This new track had 16 sessions delivered by 8 speakers:
- Building games in Greenfoot
- Tynker
- Raspberry Gaming 4 Kids
- Teaching Kids Java Programming
- Scala is Fun: Apps and Games
- Minecraft
- Pacman in 60 minutes
- Kojo Programming for Kids
- Internet Safety for Teens
- Python Programming for Kids
Here is some feedback we've heard so far:
Thank you very much for the great classes this past Sunday. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot. I hope you have more of such classes so I can also have my friends attend with me.
Arun - thank you so much for volunteering your time and organizing such a fantastic event today!! My kids had a blast and quoting my 9-yr old son "Mom, this was the best experience I've ever had" :-) We would be interested in any future events you may be planning, one time or on-going.
Thanks again for the Minecraft Mod workshop yesterday; my son enjoyed it tremendously and I hope it will encourage him to learn how to program in coming years. I also enjoyed it as it gave me some hints as to how Forge mod loader works.
We enjoyed the minecraft modding class yesterday as part of code camp. My 11 year old has never coded (beyond Scratch) and he was up and hacking minecraft within the first hour. Arun's preparatory materials, teaching approach and engaging style made this a great experience. I would definitely like to see more kid based courses in the future and would definitely recommend the minecraft session to anyone interested in modding. I'd give the course 4 out of 5 stars.
A friend invited us this morning to SVCC, and although the room was packed, my son and I managed to get in and enjoyed learning more about Java coding. Thanks for putting this class together, and for making opportunities like this for father/son activity related to computer literacy. We had a good time, please keep it up for next year :-)
We loved kids sessions in code camp. It motivated my kid programming. Keep up the good work.
My 12 year and 8 years old sons has been coming to code camp for over 4 years now. It has been fun all these years, however this year in their words "It was the best code camp ever!". Thank you Peter K., Kevin Nilson, Arun Gupta and Stephen Chin and all other volunteers for excellent sessions!
"This was fun" says my 11 yr old son Aidan. As the dad, I've been spending some time with him at home building mods in Java and it's definitely a way to motivate him to learn programming. He's been able to slog through some rather dry Java materials so that he can get better at Java programming. Re: the Minecraft class, you did a nice job of teaching theory and then connecting it to something applicable.
If you attended any of the sessions, we'd love to hear your feedback at email@example.com.
Many thanks to co-track lead Dave Briccetti and other speakers: Neil Brown, Stephen Chin, Lynn Langit, Samantha Langit, Shadaj Laddad, Aditya Gupta, and Ron Verghis.

The Vancouver Canucks Stop By Prince Rupert For a Meet and Greet
Dimitri Filipovic
September 10 2013 09:15AM
This is a guest post by Joe Pelletier , who runs GreatestHockeyLegends [dot] com . He was in attendance for when the Canucks visited the town of Prince Rupert, and he not only shared the story with us, but snapped up some quality pictures of the event.
The Vancouver Canucks stopped in Prince Rupert, British Columbia for a brief visit on Saturday. The team's veterans - including Roberto Luongo, Ryan Kesler, the Sedin twins, new coach John Tortorella and owner Francesco Aquillini - were en route to an exclusive fishing lodge on Haida Gwaii. The trip is a team building exercise prior to the on-set of training camp.
While Roberto Luongo may be back with the team reluctantly one thing is clear - he is still the fan favourite. Luongo was the most in-demand Canuck of the day, signing autographs well after the other players had headed to the team bus, which just happened to be parked beside where the Zamboni dumps it's snow. It may have been one of the hottest days of the year in Prince Rupert, but when Luongo finally emerged he was greeted with a flurry of snowballs from his teammates.
Other players were in attendance, sure, but all eyes were on Bobby Lou.
The official visit was a precious but all too brief meet-and-greet that allowed the team to connect with the local kids and First Nations communities - two of the most hardcore groups of fans in this hockey mad province. Though it went by far too quickly, the community was alive with energy. It is truly amazing just how much of an impact the team can have on communities across the province.
Dan Hamhuis grew up four hours down the road in Smithers, BC. "Yeah, I grew up playing hockey all around the Northwest - Smithers, Houston, Hazelton, Terrace, Kitimat, Rupert, as far away as Fort St. James. It brings back some memories, that's for sure," he said. "I told the guys to expect some pretty rambunctious fans up here, and they certainly have lived up to the billing."
Hamhuis, the team's de facto tour guide for this particular trip, chats with Global's Squire Barnes.
"It is great to get out across the province," said team captain Henrik Sedin. "People always think of the Canucks as Vancouver's team, but there are some amazing fans across all of BC."
Laurence Gilman, the Canucks assistant general manager, said that the team has never done this before in his five years with the organization, but he hopes to see it again.
"We are always looking for team building ideas and this allows us to get out to see many of the fans who otherwise never get a chance to see their heroes," he said. "It also is really humbling to see the fan response and interaction. The whole organization is reminded of the opportunities and responsibilities we have with our fans."
In hockey terms Prince Rupert is most definitely a 4th line plugger - proud and undeterred, still fighting and hoping for glory. The town has always dreamed big, but never quite made it. Yet the weather beaten residents (if you think it rains a lot in Vancouver, you should try spending time in Rupert) keep at it. This seaside town - which Rod Brind'Amour called home for two seasons of minor hockey - has such great character and a certain charm, and was absolutely at it's best on Saturday.
Prince Rupert may not be the biggest town, but it sure does love its hockey.
The team is off to world famous Haida Gwaii for an exclusive fishing trip at Langara Island fishing resort. They will meet the 300 or so residents of Old Massett before concluding their whirlwind trip and begin training camp. Haida Gwaii may be the home of countless totem poles and National Geographic photographers, but is probably the only part of the province that has never had a hockey rink.
Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii may not be your typical hockey towns. But they are Canucks towns. They gather around the TV (or maybe the radio on the many fishing boats, in this case) and follow the ups and downs of their favorite team, just like people in the Okanagan or the Lower Mainland. They are very different types of Canucks towns, but on this weekend Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii prove that the famous slogan really is true: We are all Canucks.
September 10 2013, 10:24AM
Great read! Thanks for the guest post!
September 10 2013, 12:41PM
Amazing read, I hope Canucks do make "northern" bc trips a regular thing. Whole province of BC is Canuck crazy and it's unfair for only lower mainland to hog them.
Awesome write up, my favourite part of the Canucks is how much of an effort they make to connect with the fans not only in Vancouver, but through the province. I hope this becomes an annual tradition.
Another thing, they should totally bring that guy with the head gear down for a game, that looks like it took a ton of work, and would be awesome to show off in Rogers Arena.
Gilman: "We are always looking for team building ideas and this allows us to get out to see many of the fans who otherwise never get a chance to see their heroes"
I hate it when people call athletes heroes. I adore the Canucks, but they don't put their lives on the line or save peoples lives. They're not policemen or firemen or doctors.
On another note, this trip is a great idea. Perhaps they could spend a little more time next year, and do a different town each year. I live in downtown Vancouver, but I know there are fanatics all over this province.
September 10 2013, 11:27PM
Thanks for the feedback on the article.
It was a pretty special day, and great to see so many kids included in the limited entry. Luongo was the star of the day. And it was really interesting to feel this commanding presence that Henrik Sedin has. There is just an instant respect factor in his presence.
This is the second time the Canucks have been to the northwest. In 2009 the Canucks (along with the New York Islanders, several alumni, the Stanley Cup, Don Cherry and Ron MacLean) came to Terrace as the city was crowned the winner of Hockeyville 2009. Sergei Shirkov and Rick Rypien were the stars of the night that night, while Kevin Bieksa, Willie Mitchell and Jeff Tambellini, then with the Islanders, were tremendous in the community.
I have all my coverage of Hockeyville 2009 and the Canucks visit to Terrace at - http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/search/label/Hockeyville
September 10 2013, 11:45PM
I know what you are saying about the "heroes" line, Nat.
Keep in mind a large contingent of the 1000 people who got to meet the Canucks were kids, and it was great to see. In a kid's world I think it is okay if hockey players can still be heroes.

Maven is sometimes referred to as a Rube Goldberg machine and is probably one of the most controversial tool used in the java community. Many people just hate it, I can't help thinking it's only because they don't use it the right way. In the reality I experienced , Maven 2 is really good at making project management very simple. You just have to follow a few rules to avoid getting into a mess.
1. Maven is not a replacement for Ant
If you have a complex project built with Ant, just don't migrate it to Maven. It's not worth the pain. Maven works fine only if you follow its conventions, especially the directory structure.
Yes, there is Maven Antrun Plugin allowing to run ant tasks from Maven. That could be useful to integrate a legacy component into a new project without changing the way this component is built. Apart from that, it shouldn't be used. The worst usage of this plugin is to do something with Ant that you're not able to figure out with Maven. If it's really not possible with Maven, it probably reveals a bigger problem in the way your project is set-up.
2. Don't let your dependencies grow out-of-control
Here are a few things to pay attention to:
- Keep your dependencies to the minimum in each pom file. A common mistake is to start a new module by copy-pasting an existing pom.xml, that's a bad idea if you reuse few of its dependencies.
- Try as mush as possible to avoid the use of <exclusions> or <optional> elements. As recommended by the Maven team, they're a last resort solution and shouldn't be used for any quick-fix.
- Don't use system scope dependencies to deal with proprietary jar files. Instead create a corporate repository or, if you can't, use a file repository using the technique described here.
- For any big application, use a parent POM with a <dependencyManagement> element to control all the dependencies used accross multiple modules and keep your children POM to the minimum, as follow:
Parent POM
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.domain.group</groupId> <artifactId>parent</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>1.0</version> <modules> <module>../child1</module> <module>../child2</module> <module>../child3</module> <module>../child4</module> </modules> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId> <artifactId>quartz</artifactId> <version>1.8.3</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId> <artifactId>quartz-oracle</artifactId> <version>1.8.3</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.16</version> </dependency> </dependencyManagement> </project>
Child POM
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.domain.group</groupId> <artifactId>child1</artifactId> <parent> <artifactId>parent</artifactId> <groupId>com.domain.group</groupId> <version>1.0</version> <relativePath>../parent</relativePath> </parent> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId> <artifactId>quartz</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.quartz-scheduler</groupId> <artifactId>quartz-oracle</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </project>
3. Rely on plugins
What is so great with Maven and that you'll find nowhere else is that there is a plugin for pretty much everything, which is normal because Maven has been thought as a plugin framework, all the work is done by plugin. Some plugins come obviously out-of-the-box to allow for the most common tasks. Many others are available in various repositories. And finally, if you don't find any to do your very specific task, just write your own, it will integrate smoothly in your build.
Here are a few examples of real life problems and how to solve them with maven:
- You want to run automated unit tests (if not, you should), just put them in the test directory and the surefire plugin will run them for you.
- You want to create an archive containing scripts, configuration files and jar files, check the assembly plugin.
- You have an XML interface? Just put your XSD file with your sources and use jaxb2 or xmlbeans plugin to generate classes on the fly.
- Working with hibernate 3? hibernate 3 plugin will ease your life.
- Want to run SQL script? … well you get it, use sql plugin.
All those plugins along with the way Maven is designed, allow to integrate your project with many other useful tools: IDE such as Eclipse (of course), continuous integration such as Hudson, or quality management like Sonar.
Maven rocks!

Armchair GM II: A Smokin' Deal
Robin Brownlee
March 03 2009 06:19PM
I wish I could say the smoking deal I discovered Monday night came by way of a phone tip from Edmonton Oilers GM Steve Tambellini, but that wouldn't be true, so I'm going to digress before getting back to what's happening, or isn't, with your favourite hockey team.
I've been trying to quit smoking for at least 10 years now, but I don't have the willpower to stick with it. Still, I thought I'd give it another try this week, even if it's bad timing with the NHL trade deadline looming.
Saw an ad about a hypnotist being in town, a dude named Romane, so I coughed up my money and attended his seminar Monday night -- stressed that I might miss the BIG deal we all know Tambellini and Kevin Lowe are working on, which was not a great start.
Smoked about 18 cigars in the hour leading up to the event, then filed into a room with 200 other people like me -- stinking of tobacco and determined to stop spending the equivalent of a mortgage payment each month to turn my lungs into garbage.
Anyway, to make a long story short, the best thing about the seminar was the intermission -- we'd all been HYPNOTIZED by then -- because that gave everybody a chance to go outside and SMOKE.
Then, about an hour later, after we'd been HYPNOTIZED again and separated from more money for CDs and DVDs that would allow us to HYPNOTIZE ourselves at home, it was over. Everybody headed for the parking lot, and not a moment to soon. Time for a SMOKE.
OK, I just wrote 300 words on something that has nothing to do with hockey, but the good news is I didn't miss a damn thing in terms of Oilers trade news by spending an evening getting HYPNOTIZED.
What I know
- Like I said last week, Tambellini can move pending UFA Erik Cole if he wants to, and Carolina would be at the front of the line of teams interested. That's not "new" news, but it's the most solid item I've got and it hasn't gone away since I first heard it. I'm still convinced the Oilers would want to pry Tuomo Ruutu out of Carolina to consider the deal worthwhile.
- According to one source, the Oilers aren't interested in Olli Jokinen, who is being shopped by Phoenix. That runs contrary to what I thought just a week ago. I don't have a reason why the brain trust of the Copper and Blue isn't taking a look at Jokinen, only that, as of yesterday, he's drawing a shoulder shrug from them.
- As suggested by Jim Matheson in The Journal today, the Oilers are interested in Mark Recchi as a rental. It's not the big move Tambellini would like to make, but Recchi would come cheap and he'd help in the stretch.
- The Flyers are as keen about ridding themselves of Daniel Briere's salary as the Coyotes are about trimming Jokinen from the payroll. Lowe made a pitch for Briere before, so... That's a big chunk of salary to take on, but the Oilers see Briere as a better option than Jokinen. Still, a long shot.
- I knew I wasn't HYPNOTIZED when Romane told me my eyelids were so heavy I wouldn't be able to open them and all I could think was that if I didn't have a rocket soon, like in the next 10 minutes, somebody was going to get kicked in the groin.
What I think
- Robert Nilsson won't need a return ticket home from this road trip.
- I said last week Tom Gilbert would be available this summer and I wonder if you can add Ladislav Smid's name to that list. Despite increased ice time in the absence of Lubomir Visnovsky and Denis Grebeshkov, I wonder if Smid sees himself here long term. He's got Sheldon Souray, Visnovsky and Gilbert ahead of him on the depth chart and Theo Peckham, Taylor Chorney and Jeff Petry on the way.
- I think Tambellini and Lowe will stand pat rather than make any deal that jeopardizes a playoff spot in the name of future gains. There's no way Craig MacTavish survives a third straight year out of the post-season and there's no way Lowe will have a hand in a deal that gets him bumped.
- Best bet for Wednesday: Oilers dump a contract (Nilsson, Marc Pouliot or JF Jacques) for a rental.
- Even HYPNOTIZED, there's no way MacTavish. Romane or anybody else is going to convince me Liam Reddox is a first-line player. If he is, you've got a bad, bad hockey team.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6pm on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.
Seeing a team featuring Liam Reddox and MA Pouliot on the first 2 lines does not instill hope for another Cup run... And I'm talking about the CALDER CUP.
March 03 2009, 06:34PM
So have you had a smoke since being hypnotised?
Quitting smoking will make you crabby... oh, nevermind.
Pouliot and Gagner just scored! Pouliot, Gagner, Penner, and Horcoff for Kovalchuk (e3.5)

Half the people there were outside having a smoke during the intermission between sessions of being HYPNOTIZED. We all looked at each other and laughed. Like, who the f*ck were we kidding? What a bunch of spineless, addicted suckers.
March 03 2009, 06:57PM
hey robin i see recchi didn't play tonight. do you know which teams may be interested in him?
note to Tambo SELL!! SELL! SELL! take what you can get.
March 03 2009, 07:27PM
So does that half the people include you?
March 03 2009, 07:27PM
What would the Flyers be asking for Briere?
March 03 2009, 07:29PM
@ Smokin' Ray - NNC: someone dumb enough to take that contract
March 03 2009, 07:39PM
Its pretty bad if our management is scared to make a move,that does not work out and the coach loses his job.Does Mac t have pictures of K lowe and a goat what gives? We should have gassed him at the 25 game mark,instead we will have to wait until the last few games to see if we make the playoffs,what ever happened to us challenging for the division?
We want Kovalchuk! We want Kovalchuk! We want Kovalchuk!
Why is Liam Reddox still playing on the first line? Since the first line is your offensive line, they should put offensive players there such as Pouliot, Gagner, Cogs, Cole and Penner again BUT not Reddox. MacT is such a defensive minded coach that he would be satisfied to lose a 1-0 game then 6-5 shootout loss. It is a shame that our team has so much offensive abilities and we are not allowed to use them. MacT hold their skills back by always thinking defense first even if it means 17 shots a game as a result...
Nice no-show against Nashville by Horcoff and Hemsky tonight. Reddox isn't the answer and neither is Penner, who also took the collar. I'd suggest Tambellini would be wise to, at the very least, start Wednesday by doing what it takes to pull the trigger on Recchi and then go from there.
W.T. says those followers that want and wish for Kovy are right on the mark. Klowe and Tambo(why is Klowe even there if Tambo is a true GM) want a superstar. Oil can't sign a superstar in the free agent market(haha) as no superstar wants to come to Edmonton(ask Pronger, Hosa). Thus, common sense(which KLowe has very little of) is to trade for a superstar. Looking around the NHL which superstar is truly available(Heatly in Ottawa,maybe). W.T. suggests Oil need to have some courage and bring in this superstar. What to give up, you have to give up something to get something so just get it done. Only person not to give up Hemsky, everyone else is ready to go. JUST DO IT (sounds like a winning slogan to W.T.)
I think after that game I will start to smoke........and run with scissors....and smash my head on something sharp....
Seriously...year after year...

I just....ugh...Is this even close to a valid argument at any time? Just because we've never landed a big free agent outside of Pronger doesn't mean no one wants to play here. But I guess you're right. Who in their right mind would want to play for a franchise with a storied history and a rabid fan base. All that matters is how warm the city is that you play in. Right? Can we please drop that argument. You know who says that no one wants to play in Edmonton? Calgarians. Now if you want to be lumped in with those dicks then be my guest.
March 03 2009, 09:24PM
AMEN to that jeanshorts!
March 03 2009, 09:25PM
Bob MacKenzie on tsn just said the Oilers were interested in Jokinen. Is he wrong? I really don't see how they could NOT be interested in him. The guy has multiple 30 goal seasons, isn't just a pure rental, a reasonable cap it (it will be less than Horcoff next year), and I can't believe the asking price would be very high.
Do you think they would trade Nilsson for Recchi, or what would it take to get him?
If the only thing the Oilers do is pick up Recchi, I'll be quite dissapointed.
W.T. suggests it has nothing to do with the weather unless you define weather as Klowe tide.
Next thing you will say jeanshorts is Oilers still play Oiler hockey. Get into reality, Oiler hockey playing the trap. Oiler hockey with Reddix as a first liner. Oiler hockey with MAP in the line up and Nilsson out of the line up. Oiler hockey as Sourey doesn't go down to block a shot in overtime when Oil need all the points they can get. Oiler hockey with Zack as your third best player last quarter. Oiler hockey with no real goalie signed for 2009. Oiler hockey that gets outshot by a mile nightly.
Come on jeanshorts, W.T. enjoys a good debate but you gotta beat being smarter than a 5th grader.
March 03 2009, 09:27PM
@ Robin B: Ironic/frustrating that they finally get secondary scoring, and Hemsky and Horcoff are atrocious.
March 03 2009, 09:28PM
Clearly WT is The Warrior. Robin, give him round 2!
W.T. prefers you stop calling him the Warrior. Who are you, Bob Hope?
March 03 2009, 09:35PM
@ W.T.: I'm a friend of Kramer's

Well, I thought the Oilers were and SHOULD be interested in Jokinen -- note my wording in the story -- but I was told today by somebody who spoke directly with a front office guy in Ottawa they weren't. It puzzled me.
@ W.T.: How about just plain old Howard? Or KOD, even?
Spec, on sportsnet said Colby Armstrong. I like his game played on Crosby's line is aggresive hits and can score. Not the home run but he would be an upgrade over Penner(the flying fridge) and Nilsson, have you heard anything on this RB?
March 03 2009, 09:42PM
Hey Robin. I just quit smoking a couple of weeks ago. It's tough for the first few days, but hang in there. Also, use the Nicorette gum. It works...did for me anyway. Good luck. If only there was a gum to curb MacT's Reddox addiction...sigh.
@ swany: Spec said what about Colby Armstrong? You guys need to make a distinction between a reporter saying "I think Player X would/should be of interest to the Oilers" and "I know the Oilers are trying to make a deal with TEAM X to get Player X."
Like with Doug MacLean the other night, there's a big difference between offering an opinion about who might be of interest and who a team is actually pursuing and talking to another team about.
RB: I think 5 has a future with the Oil as an affordable 5th D who can slip down into the top four only if necessary.
The Oil are paying all of 44-71-77 and 37's about to come up so guys like 5 and 49 most certainly have a place on the Oil's blueline.
Not sure how 12 fits back into the lineup and I do know we could use another dman on a controlled contract to help out in 71's stead for '09 and then help us out full-time come 2010.
Any idea what we'd have to give up to grab Recchi? I'd rather deal Schremp than 78.

Thanks for the encouragement, but the gum and the patch are useless for me. I've tried both and they did nothing except pee me off and help fuel a nasty column about Jiri Dopita.
The only thing that worked for me, at least for awhile, was that pill Zyban. Stayed off the rockets for almost a year. Romane got me to what, about 60 minutes. HYPNOSIS my eye. I wanted to HYPNOTIZE Romane: "You will give Brownlee his money back, you will give Brownlee his money back . . ."
@ Dennis: You make sense, except what if a player who seems to fit here and has a future doesn't want to be here?
RB: I listened more closely tonight;) and Spec said the name "he keeps hearing is Colby Armstrong."
Oh wise Robin, W.T. would like all your followers to hear who you think other teams are actively trying to obtain from the Oil. I may of missed this if you have already posted. Maybe then folks will realize the position Klowe has put Oil faithful in. Maybe NHL teams are only interested in Souray,Gagner,Cog's,Hemsky and maybe Cole as a rental player?????? This nonsense of trading Penner, Nilsson, MAP and getting something real in return is laughable.
RB: 5 seems like a happy-go-lucky guy so I'd never guess he wouldn't want to stay. Then again, maybe some early benchings and wing-duty have soured him on the skipper.
Seem plausible?
@ Dennis: I'm not going to try to torpedo Spec's "insight," but we're getting next to nothing from the horse's mouth right now, so a lot of guys are relying on the other end and simply repeating rumours they've heard from other reporters etc. I'm not getting Colby Armstrong from the guys who call the shots, so if Spector is, good for him. It's a guy who makes some sense and a pretty safe name to float out there.
Any interest in Antoine Vermette? I know he's a softy but if you had him instead of Nilsson, it might be a good trade off. Nilsson is not at all a MacT type player, whereas Vermette is. He's versatile, can play either wing or center, is a decent penalty killer and has some hands. He'd be worth a look on Hemshy's wing IMO... at least if nothing else. Vermette, Colby Armstrong and Tuomo Ruutu would be of most interest to me among lesser names. Thoughts Robin?

You got my drift.
@ RossCreek: All three cost you Cole or Cole-plus. All three are probably worth it, but you can't have a lag or a break-in period for results. Oilers don't have that luxury.
W.T. just finished watching Flames hockey, 1/2hr show on Sportsnet. As an NHL fan I enjoy listening to other teams and what they are doing. W.T. missed what channel Oiler hockey 1/2hr show is on. Please advise?
RB: that would be very unfortunate. I guess he'll give us a little hint of his content - or lack of - this summer.
Any idea on what it would take to land Recchi? that team is terrible at drafting so I imagine they need just about everything.
March 03 2009, 10:05PM
So Robin, what do you think it would take to get Briere. Is it just a matter of being willing to take on the contract, or do you actually have to give up assets too? His contract has a long term (6 more years), but at a 6.5M cap hit, it's not that ridiculous. He's a 30 goal guy with a 90 point season, who realistically is probably a 75 point guy. Do you think he'd made the team better? It would sure be nice to have a legitimate first line player to play with Hemsky.
@ Robin B: Would you look at Scott Gomez (obviously more likely in the summer). Would Slats consider giving up a guy like Bobby Sanguenetti in a deal for the cap relief. Or could you swap cap problems (Gomez-Penner being the "key" principals). The only plausible way of moving Penner would be for another bad contract, no? And what do you think of Jordan Staal vs Cogliano or Gagner??
@ W.T.: Most of the calls start with the Gagner or Cogliano if you're talking about anything more than a rental. People aren't asking for Souray or Horcoff or even a Visnovsky because GMs aren't willing to take on that kind of salary with the cap looking like it'll be $50 M or less by 2010-11. Hemsky isn't on the table -- not for anybody.
The only exceptions would be a swap of bad long-term contracts.
I don't understand why the Pens inked Staal longterm. You see what Malkin can do with Sykora so you spend the Staal money on a winger for Crosby and then you fill your bottom sixers with hard workers and guys who are just happy to have a chance to win a Cup.
O.K. Oil fans, there you have it, bad contract for bad contract or give up the kids and Tambo aka Klowe ain't going to do that. Another disappointing trade deadline day for Oil.
W.T. will motivate everyone, Oilers make the playoffs and W.T. will not post until next NHL season. What was that everyone, go Oil go! And what is your end of the deal if Oil miss playoffs again?
@ Bob Sacamano: Most of these kind of big deals -- Briere etc -- have to wait until the summer. The economic forecast is too cloudy right now. At least at the end of June and start of July teams should have a better idea of the cap and what they can afford. GMs are very cautious right now.
@ RossCreek: Same thing. Gomez, even Jokinen. Big bucks. There's going to be a glut of over-priced guys sitting there. If you've got the money (in this case cap room), it's a good time to buy in the sense that some sellers won't ask much in a trade, they just want their big ticket guys off the books.
@ Robin B:
What do you think of Jordan Staal vs Cogliano or Gagner?? Staal's got the size and style (read: pk/defensive concious) for MacT. Where do you see those 3 five years down the road? Could Staal be a fit with Hemsky?
Hopes/wishes/prayers for tomorrow: - a team gets REALLY desperate and trades for Horcoff - Tambellini makes the following moves: 1- To EDM: RW Scottie Upshall to PHI: D Taylor Chorney & a 2nd round pick Philly needs cap space with Upshall being an impending RFA and this way they get a prospect defenseman and a good pick back. 2- To EDM: C Chris Higgins & D Mathieu Dandenault to MTL: D Tom Gilbert, LW Marc Pouliot & C Gilbert Brule Higgins an impending RFA and Dandenault who wants out for a long term signed Gilbert being the offensive d-man they desperately seek and Brule and Pouliot who are cheap and can fill in where needed. 3- To EDM: C Olli Jokinen & D Derek Morris to PHX: LW Robert Nilsson, D Ladislav Smid, C Kyle Brodziak & LW Rob Schremp making the new lines as so: Penner-Jokinen-Hemsky Higgins-Gagner-Upshall Moreau-Cogliano-Pisani Jacques-Reddox-Stortini
Souray-Staios Grebeshkov-Morris Strudwick-Peckham
Roloson Drouin-Deslauriers
I know that many trades would disrupt chemistry and they would never happen but I think those lines could do some damage.
This talk about keeping Cole is non sense and Rolli as well for that matter. Cole is gone in the summer and nothing in return, this would be unacceptable for Oiler fans. Lets face the facts, we are not a playoff team, lets wake up to this fact and move on. Roli should be moved at the height of his most recent performances. This team is badly out shot in almost every game. Trade Roli, play our back up and see really what this team is all about. It makes no sense to limp into the payoffs with roli standing on his head. We are stuck with Hocoff at 7mill next year, a pretty pricey 2/3 line center. If Speeza is available make the move, even if it costs Gange and make a move to land Booth to bolster the top line. I would play cogs as second line centre and move horc to 3rd centre where he belongs.

This exceptional, working Edo-period striking wall clock, or Shaku-Dokei, exemplifies the best of 19th-century Japanese design. One of the largest Shitan clocks known, it measures time with a balance/verge movement, a type of movement which predated the pendulum. This rare mechanism can be viewed behind the elaborately engraved front plate, while an engraved scale and inlaid hour and half-hour markers complete this ingenious timepiece. During the Edo period, Japanese feudal lords began to construct grand homes that demonstrated their wealth and power, relying on the natural beauty of a variety of woods to indicate prestige and rank. This exquisite clock would have been a powerful expression of the traditional Japanese sensibility of simplicity and modernism, while still emphasizing the quality and luxury of elegant design.
